Bookworm Wall Shelf by Kartell
designed by Ron Arad
The creative insight of Ron Arad combined with the technological expertise of Kartell comes together in the Bookworm- the industrial bookshelf that snakes its way across your wall. This flexible bookshelf assumes any desired shape without compromising toughness or functionality. Unlimited shapes can be formed, limited only by personal creativity. Bookends can be placed on either side of the wall shelf, allowing you to create circular patterns that display books at every turn.
Bookworm comes in 3 different sizes. The small size is shown here with 7 bookends (per each shelf). Kartell advises that users wall-mount this shelf in a curved shape to keep the materials in tension and to increase resistance once loaded. Each space between the bookends supports up to 20 pounds.
About the Designer
Born in Tel Aviv in 1951, Ron Arad studied at the Jerusalem Academy of Art from 1971 - 1973, before moving to London, where he studied at the Architectural Association from 1974 - 1979. In 1994, he established the 'Ron Arad Studio', design and production unit in Como, Italy. His London studio has increasingly produced individual pieces made of sheet steel, and he always mischievously exploits their formal and functional possibilities to the fullest. The sculptural forms often have an unexpected impact which first emerges during use, and are just as much a result of graphic design as the experimental work that goes on in the workshop. Arad's work has been widely featured in many design/architectural books and magazines world-wide. He has exhibited at many major museums and galleries throughout the world and his work is in many public collections including, among others, the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, The Victoria & Albert Museum, London, and The Vitra Design Museum, Germany.
About the Manufacturer
Creativity and technology, glamour and functionality, quality and innovation: a combination of extraordinary factors together with a strategic vision of distribution has contributed to the lasting success of Kartell. By cultural and entrepreneurial choice, since its origins in 1949 the Italian manufacturer has chosen to characterize itself as the market leader in the production of designers articles which use technology and plastic materials. This choice requires a great understanding of materials and transformation technology. A leader in furniture design, Kartell addresses an international audience with a collection unique in originality, variety, size, and range.

When we as a society think about employment for people with disabilities, we rarely think about self-employment. In fact, in can be difficult for anyone's family and friends to imagine their family member or friend as an entrepreneur. Yet self-employment can be a wonderful opportunity for people with disabilities.
How do you know if self-employment is the right option for someone with a disability? How does anyone make the decision to become an entrepreneur or self-employed? Perhaps they want a flexible schedule or more control over their work. Maybe they like to take charge or maybe they have a driving passion for their work. During the discovery process, where a person explores their interests, skills, preferred environments, and ideal working conditions, certain factors may become evident to suggest that a person will benefit most from self-employment. Other times, the person will just fall into an opportunity that highlights their strongest skills.
Successful entrepreneurs are often people who like to be in control and like to schedule their own hours. They also have a passion for their particular business. And of course, they need to have good people skills to promote their business and network. However, it's also important to keep in mind that few business owners, regardless of ability, do everything for their business. They typically delegate some responsibilities, whether it's hiring an accountant or an employee. It's important for the person's circle of support to know that starting a business does not mean the person needs to do everything.
When we're talking about self-employment, however, we're talking about a person with a disability owning their own business in the community. We are not talking about a business run by a group of people with disabilities. There seems to be a trend in the media to highlight these types of group-run businesses. However, the problem is that businesses run by groups of people with disabilities still congregate people with disabilities in one spot rather than truly integrating them into the community among their non-disabled peers. In terms of the workforce, they are not part of the community. The ultimate goal is to create an integrated workforce, not a segregated one.
Keystone Human Services has supported several people to open their own small business. Because these entrepreneurs love what they are doing, they often develop new skills. For example, when they first open their business, they may only dress in business casual, but after a while, they may begin dressing as a business professional. For people who may have struggled to get out of bed in the morning, owning their own business provides the motivation to get up and go to work. They have a passion and something they love doing. And their businesses have grown.
Below are some resources for parents, providers, and people with disabilities who are interested in more information about starting a small business.

Dark Essence Records has revealed more details about upcoming debut album from former Vreid guitarist Ese named Slegest. Album is set for official release later this year and will be entitled Løyndom (in English "Secret"). It was recorded partly in Ese's own Systrond Studio and partly at the Conclave and Earshot Studio with producer Bjørnar E. Nilsen. Mastering was done by Enslaved's Herbrand Larsen. Tracklisting and cover artwork can be seen below. More informations about the project were previously posted over HERE. Whilst Slegest started life as solo project, with Ese handling vocals and playing all the instruments on Løyndom, apart from a guest solo by former Vreid band-mate Sture, it became apparent very quickly to everyone who heard the album that the potential for taking Slegest further and turning it into a live band was unmistakable and to ignore it would be insanity. As a result a live line-up has been put together and will be seen at festivals in the near future. Link
Løyndom tracklisting:
01. Ho Som Haustar Aleine
02. Rooted In Knowledge
03. I Slike Stunder
04. Løgna Sin Fiende
05. The Path Of No Return
06. Faceless Queen
07. Dirt Life Death
08. Past Burden Strength

A struct can have a function as member? So this is valid C++ code:
struct foo
void * init_this_crap();
What the hell? Even worse: You can inherit from a structure! Seriousely? You can inherit from a fucking structure? No shit, Sherlok!
Implicit type conversion
This one is even worse. Lets have a look at the following code:
Dot give_dot(void) {
return 5;
Dot is a class. This code is valid. What the fucking hell? In C++ it is legal
to convert without any sematic for it. That sucks. Period.
Dot a = 5;
Automatic constructor calling
I already used the folling syntax:
Dot a();
Dot b(4);
But did you know that
Dot c;
Does also call the constructor for
c ? What the fucking hell is this? I
declare the variable
c, but no… C++ won't let you do that! It calls the
constructor for
Dot. Why? Because it is bullshit!
Sidenote: I would expect this
Dot c();
to include the constructur-call. But not without the parentheses!

I've had a few more really thought-provoking emails from readers recently. Thank you guys for sending them– I think I get as much out of answering your questions as you do, because they really make me think!.
Lately, I've been wondering how people feel when I urge them to try aquatic therapy. This is generally my #1 recommendation when people contact me saying traditional land-based physical therapy hasn't worked.
However, sometimes I don't hear back once I send my response. I'm never really sure if people are just trying to be respectful of my time and not write back unless they have a question, or if they just weren't completely on board with what I said. (If it's the first I'm totally okay with it, because sometimes people ask me questions I'm not qualified to answer, and I don't want to overstep my limits as a blogger!).
But in case some people are a little bit daunted or discouraged by my suggestion of aquatic therapy, I thought I would write this post to clear up any misconceptions you might have.
Myth #1: You have to already be in great shape
No. In fact, the opposite is true– aquatic therapy is great for people who are not able to perform land-based exercise. In the water, you can cut out the effects of gravity, making movement much, much easier on your joints.
A good aquatic therapist will tailor your exercise level to you. If this means starting out in baby steps (metaphorically or literally!) that is perfectly okay! That's why you're in physical therapy. The right physical therapist will meet you where you are.
In fact, many facilities will offer a warm-water therapy pool, that's strictly for rehabilitation purposes. It is not a place for lap swimmers– it is a place for therapy.
Myth #2: You have to know how to swim
No, definitely not.
As part of the application process for physical therapy school, I spent a significant amount of time observing at a physical therapy clinic that offers aquatic therapy.
And there were absolutely clients who couldn't swim. The physical therapists simply worked with them in standing-level only water. It wasn't a big deal.
I have also observed aquatic therapists who will get into the water with clients, even working with clients who are partially paralyzed.
There are all sorts of vests and floatation devices that make way more things possible in the water than you might imagine.
Of course, this something that is entirely up to your comfort level, but the clients I observed in these sessions seemed to truly appreciate the pain relief and freedom of movement that the water offered.
Like lifeguards, aquatic therapists in the US must be certified in CPR and First Aid.
Myth #3: It won't be challenging enough
On the other end of the spectrum is the concern some people have that pool exercise won't be difficult enough.
This was actually one of my hesitations, when I first began to develop SI joint issues. So I held out, trying to stick to my land-based physical therapy exercises, as I got worse and worse.
Now I'm grateful that my chiropractor finally got on my case, and that's why I'm getting on yours.
With all of the techniques and accessories that are available today, there is really no excuse for pool exercises being too easy. If they are, it just means you aren't doing the right ones.
In recent years, professional athletes have even started using aquatic therapy both to heal from injuries and also as a preventative measure, doing one or two workouts a week in the pool instead of on land.
Even switching to one or two pool workouts a week can help lower your risk of injury, and also reduce inflammation (when you are submerged in water, something called "hydrostatic pressure" helps to flush out toxins and chemical byproducts out of your system more quickly).
Water also offers great cross-training benefits, because you're able to challenge your body using different movement patterns than you normally do out of the water, with significantly less risk of injury.
Myth #4: It will be awkward or embarrassing
Well, I'm not going to tell you how to feel on this one. I totally get it. A lot of people aren't comfortable putting on a bathing suit under any circumstances, much less when they're struggling with an injury or other health concern.
I have a few things to say about this, however.
Anyone who judges you for trying to take care of yourself and heal an injury is not worth your time or respect.
And the vast majority of people are not going to judge you. At the place I did my shadowing, the physical therapists basically ran the pool. Everybody knew who they were and respected them, and stayed out of their (and their clients') way. Based on my experience, it's more likely people will ask questions about what you're doing, or even be inspired by you, than judge you.
And, just as there are probably way more therapy techniques than you anticipated, there are also all sorts of accessories and workout gear you can purchase in order to feel comfortable.
I actually ended up buying a rash guard (like for surfing) because I was tired of dealing with the cold pool in the winter. People may have thought I was a bit… unique, but I actually got a lot of questions and compliments on it.
You have a right to be there.
For my US readers, the Americans with Disabilities Act gives you a lot of rights when it comes to using a gym or other public exercise facility when you have a physical limitation. This is especially true in regard to swimming pools, which as of 2010 must have accessible entries/exits. (This is true whether you are there for aquatic therapy, or simply working out at a gym pool).
So don't let anyone make you feel embarrassed, or as though you don't have a right to be there. (I sincerely doubt this will happen, but I'm just letting you know the lay of the land anyway!).
Myth #5 Aquatic therapy is boring
Okay, maybe this is just me, but I think aquatic exercise can be really fun. If you're starting to get bored, there are a million ways to switch it up. There are so many exercises you can do, and ways you can challenge your body.
A great place to start is with the Aqua Jogger company. They make those pool running vests you've probably seen people wear, plus a ton of other accessories.
Workout Kit with Accessories and Exercise Guide:
Did you even know there were pools you can "enter" first… and then be lowered into the water?
Check out the therapy pool in the video below:
This is probably my favorite aquatic therapy video, in general. Here is a patient who really struggles to move on land, but in the water, she is still able to improve both her coordination and strength.
If there was ever a video that inspired me to become a physical therapist, it's this one. I just think this entire approach is transformative.
Further Resources
I have saved a lot more really great aquatic therapy videos into my Aquatic Therapy Youtube playlist. You seriously will not believe the possibilities!
A lot of the videos I really like are from Hydroworx (they make some of these really high-tech therapy pools). I think their whole approach is so cool.
Aquatic Therapy University— They offer training for physical therapists, occupational therapists, and even speech therapists in aquatic therapy. Although the video I'm linking to is intended for potential students, you might find it interesting because it provides a great overview of what aquatic therapy is all about.
Okay, that will have to be all for now.
There is honestly so much more to say about aquatic therapy– I could talk about it all day! But I don't want to bombard you with too much great info, so I figure I should probably stop here for now.
But please… I strongly urge you to consider aquatic therapy on your road to healing!

Meet New People Near You Using Your iPhone and Loopt Mix
Geolocation is one of the big current trends in social networks and mobile applications. And why not? Being able to find out what's going on around you and what your friends are doing nearby is pretty awesome. It's one of the reason apps and services like Foursquare are gaining traction.
Today, Loopt, one of the early players in connecting users to their friends based on location, is launching a new app that helps you meet new people, called Loopt Mix. Loopt Mix (iTunes link) is a free app for the iPhone that lets you connect with people nearby that you don't already know, but might want to meet. With it, you create a profile (your e-mail address is never shown and you can choose to hide or show your age) and you can search for people nearby.
Your exact location is never shown and you can choose to hide your profile from public view at any time (so if you're on a date and you don't want to be bothered by potential new friends, or if you're trying to get stuff done — you can turn off your public profile). See someone interesting nearby? You can send them a free message and see if they want any company or want to meet somewhere close-by.
You can post status updates showing what you're doing - so if you are playing basketball and looking for someone to join in, you can include that information so that would-be ballers can know to message you to join in on the fun. Meeting new people can be hard and the social web is supposed to make it easier. Unfortunately, that isn't always the case. Loopt Mix is aiming to fix that.
What do you think about using the social web to meet new people while on the go? How do you meet new people when you are in a new city or looking to expand your social circle? Let us know!

PM must appear before JPC in 2G scam: Sukhbir
Deputy chief minister Sukhbir Badal has said Prime Minister Manmohan Singh must appear before the joint parliamentary committee (JPC) constituted to probe the 2G scam to clear blot on his name.punjab Updated: Apr 04, 2013, 20:49 IST
Deputy chief minister Sukhbir Badal has said Prime Minister Manmohan Singh must appear before the joint parliamentary committee (JPC) constituted to probe the 2G scam to clear blot on his name.
Addressing a gathering at Abohar, a sub-division of Fazilka district, Sukhbir said it was imperative for a person like Manmohan Singh that too holding the post of Prime Minister to clear the nagging doubts in the minds of people regarding his direct, indirect or tacit involvement in the Rs 1.76-lakh crore scam that shook foundations of economy of the country.
Entire world was watching keenly that how India investigates this scam and "the Prime Minister, like Caesar's wife, must be above suspicion," he said.
Non-appearance of the Prime Minister and the then finance minister P Chidambaram before the JPC would strengthen the suspicion that Congress-led UPA government does not want truth to come out, Sukhbir charged.
Alleging that the Congress was the fountainhead of corruption, the deputy CM said it was unfortunate that the UPA-2 had a dubious distinction of being involved in scams pertaining to Commonwealth Games, Adarsh housing society, 2G spectrum, coal and chopper deal. "The Congress kept on ranting the coalition dharma to justify these scams, which not only hit hard the economy of the country but also tarnished the image of the nation worldwide."
Sukhbir maintained that it was matter of great worry that due to opaque decision-making process and scams, international investors had been reluctant to invest in the country and economic growth rate had plunged to 2.5%, lowest in the century.
Charging the union government with arm-twisting states and forcing them to levy unfriendly taxes, Badal said the notifications of the Centre released by Akali Dal clearly show that the SAD-BJP government never wanted to impose property tax and it was forced upon it by the union government.
"Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee chief Partap Singh Bajwa was making desperate attempts to remain in news through illogical accusations against the SAD-BJP government while the reality was that the Punjab voters had shown the anti-Punjab Congress its standing in public eyes with successive drubbings," Sukhbir said.
The state would be linked with four- /six-lane roads, for which the state government had cleared an ambitious project worth Rs 20,000 crore, Sukhbir claimed.
The deputy CM said Punjab is all set to unveil new industrial investment policy and real estate policy in next few days, which would be catalytic in ushering in new era of accelerated development.
Earlier, Sukhbir laid the foundation stone of a drain to be constructed at a cost of Rs 21 crore at Abul Khurana and also inaugurated a new OPD in civil hospital, which will be constructed at a cost of Rs 5.45 crore. The deputy CM also announced a health insurance scheme of Rs 30,000 for poor families besides laying the foundation stone of the Rs 34-crore Lambi distributory.

The actual physical process of making cider is much more a problem solving exercise than an art. Every year we aim to move the process forward, investing in new equipment and up-scaling production, but each great-leap-forward brings with it new and unforeseen problems.
Our terrific new Voran Press has been instrumental in doubling our efficiency this year, by both speeding up the process, and increasing juice yield significantly. The press delivers over 24 tons of pressure through the 8 layers of the cheese, effortlessly squeezing the apple pulp dry, and delivering around 13 gallons of juice each pressing. This sort of efficiency can of course lead to bottle-necks somewhere in the process, and it's in the washing and sorting of the fruit that we're now struggling to keep up. We may have to invest in a bigger bucket!
The huge pressure that the new press delivers can cause problems too. The dessert apples we've been pressing up to now have a tendency to squeeze out through the press cloths, making cleaning a very difficult task. This shouldn't be such a problem when we start pressing the more fibrous cider apples later in the month.
The Rotary Mill (or Scratter) which is attached to the press is also very efficient. It deals with bucket-loads of washed apples as quickly as we can pour them in, spitting out the finely milled pulp at such a high velocity that things could get very messy in the ciderhouse. Our ingenious solution involves a cheap storage tub, a Stanley Knife and a couple of Bungee's. The high-speed pomace is now directed straight down to the waiting tub, and another potential nightmare clean-up session has been avoided.
Talking of nightmare cleanup's, the Acacia Racks which separate the layers of cloth-wrapped pomace, are also a bit of a devil to get clean. Cleanliness in cidermaking is essential, and these racks will quickly develop a bloom of mould if not cleaned and dried properly after use. I've been searching long and hard for a reasonably priced container big enough to lay the racks in for a soak in sulphite solution. I finally found a tray in a garden centre which was the perfect size for the racks, though unfortunately not deep enough for all nine together. More cash spent, more problems solved.
The two larger pictures of the press were kindly sent to us by James, sometime resident of our village local the Red Lion, in Middleton.

Williamstown, MA – Farley-Lamb Field was electric this afternoon as the Williams College Ephs got into position to face off with the Trinity College Bantams. On the opening face-off, junior LSM Rock Stewart gained possession of the loose ball, ran down the field towards the Bantam goal and ripped a shot from far out with his long stick to give the Ephs their first score of the game along with momentum for a five-goal streak that would secure their first win of the season.
The Williams College Ephs (1-1/ 1-1 NESCAC) defeated the Trinity College Bantams (1-1/ 0-1 NESCAC) 18-12 in today's match-up at Farley-Lamb Field on the campus of Williams College.
The Williams College Ephs took control of the game early on. . Two minutes later, Williams mid-fielder Brendan Hoffman found his first score of the game with a rip from 15 yards out. Two minutes later a plethora of Ephs goals soon ensued with John Hincks scoring two straight goals and one from Kevin Stump to give Williams a five-score lead. Shortly after, Trinity answered back with a goal in the final minute of the first quarter. With seventeen seconds left in the quarter, Brendan Hoffman dumped the ball in the net while drawing a penalty. The score at the end of the first quarter was Williams 6 – Trinity 1 with the Ephs having a man-up advantage going into the second period.
Williams came out with a bang early in the start of the second quarter with possession and a goal by sophomore Cory Lund at 14:29. Trinity soon countered with a goal off a quick face-off exchange by Scott Morgan. Williams continued with the same pace of play that produced success in the first quarter and went on a four-goal streak by Ephs Brendan Hoffman, Calvin Collins, Jake Haase and Matthew Seligson to bring the game to 11-2 with Williams well in control. \This streak was broken up by an unassisted goal from Ben Knaus. A goal-for-goal match soon arose with Ephs Cory Lund scoring at 7:08 which was soon met with two Bantam goals by Max DeLamater assisted by Ben Ferrucci and Morty Fearey assisted by Ben Knaus. Williams then capitalized on a man-up opportunity and with 17 seconds left in the first half, Kevin Stump scored for the Ephs. Williams was up 13-5 at halftime.
The Ephs took to the field in the second half with the same mentality that gave them the lead and scored at 11:51 as Kevin Stump took a shot from five yards out after receiving a quick feed from John Hincks. Trinity answered back with their first goal of the second half after a score from Luke Valentino assisted by Ben Knaus with the Ephs up 14-6. Soon after, Williams LSM Rock Stewart found his second goal of the game after scoring on a ground ball pickup at 9:14. Trinity answered back less than a minute later with two straight scores from Bantam attackmen Ben Knaus and Connor McCulloch to bring the score to 15-8.
Williams took control of the fourth quarter early on with sophomore Cory Lund slam-dunking the ball in the net after an assist by Jake Haase. Trinity countered at 9:04 with a goal unassisted from Sean Sperzel. After great defense displayed by both teams, Williams broke the stalemate with a goal at 5:35 from Brendan Hoffman off of a dodge from the restraining line. With two minutes left in the game, John Hincks scored another goal to bring the game to 18-9. The Bantams answered back less than thirty seconds later with a score from Connor McCulloch, assisted by Drew Kozub. Less than a minute later, Trinity scored back-to-back goals by Connor McCulloch and Scott Morgan to bring down the Williams lead to six scores. The streak gave the Bantams momentum going into the final minutes of the quarter, but it wasn't enough to top the Ephs. Williams defeated Trinity 18-12.
The Ephs used one goalie, Harry Gahagan, who finished with 12 saves between the pipes. The Bantams used two goalies this afternoon. Greg Barletta made 11 saves with 43 minutes of play and Brady Burke made one save with 17 minutes of play.
The Bantams were led by Connor McCulloch with three goals. He was followed by Ben Knaus with two goals and three assists and Scott Morgan with two scores.
The Ephs were led by Brendan Hoffman with four goals and two assists. He was followed by Cory Lund with three goals and one assist, John Hincks with three goals and two assists, Kevin Stump with three goals and Rock Stewart with two goals. Other Eph scorers were Calvin Collins, Matthew Seligson and Jake Haase.
Eph head coach George McCormack stated, "I'm proud of our team playing strong this afternoon. We're always happy to get a conference win as they are hard to come by."
The Ephs return to action home at Farley-Lamb Field on Friday March 15th when they will play Union College, taking on the Dutchmen at 6pm. The Trinity College Bantams will play home in a match-up against Wooster on Wednesday March 13th at 7pm.

« Education Funding Advocates Fear Federal School Aid Will Lose Out | Main | Betsy DeVos Taps Former Bush Administration Lawyer as Top Adviser »
Trump Team May Combine Innovation, K-12 Offices, Advocates Say
The Trump administration is seriously considering incorporating the office of innovation and improvement into the U.S. Department of Education's broader office of elementary and secondary education, advocates say.
This isn't a sure thing yet. But it seems like a strong possibility for a number of reasons. First off, the White House has made it clear that it wants to reorganize federal agencies to get rid of unnecessary or duplicative offices.
President Donald Trump hasn't yet tapped anyone for the post of assistant secretary of innovation and improvement yet. But he did nominate Frank Brogan, a former Florida state chief and lieutenant governor, as assistant secretary of elementary and secondary education. It's easy to imagine someone with Brogan's background being put in charge of both K-12 policy and innovation.
And, given U.S. Secretary of Education DeVos' focus lately on "rethinking education," it's also easy to imagine her making the case that innovation shouldn't be sectioned off into a single office—it should be infused throughout the department.
Unlike other offices within the Education Department, the office of innovation and improvement isn't enshrined in legislation. It was created back in 2002 by then-U.S. Secretary of Education Rod Paige to help promote the Bush administration school choice agenda. Nina Rees, who is now the executive director of the National Alliance of Public Charter Schools, was the first head of the office. There was speculation that its influence would decline when Rees left the department in early 2006.
But when the Obama administration came into office in early 2009, the office was tasked with implementation of some marquee programs. Those included the Investing in Innovation grants, which helped nurture promising ideas at the district level, and the Race to the Top District grants, which focused on personalized learning. Obama's first leader for the office, Jim Shelton, a former Gates Foundation official, later went on to serve as deputy secretary. (He's now heading up K-12 work at the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.)
Right now, the office is in charge of programs dealing with parent involvement, charter schools, private schools, teacher quality, and the Education Innovation and Research program. (That's the successor to i3). More here.

Natural Compostable Tableware(Plates)
Plastic is everywhere, from Oceans to Landfill, Animals and marine life and in our food chain.
Every piece of plastic ever made still exists, in some way or the other.
Most of the plastic we use, has a very short life span! Used, discarded, sometimes recycled and majority of times ends up in landfill.
There are some changes, decisions and choices we can make that would help us to deal and manage this plastic pollution problem.
For Thousands of years, People have used leaves for serving, covering and cooking food and all sorts of things, fortunately we didn't had plastic then...
Our leaf plates are made from naturally fallen leaves of Areca palm/Betel-nut palm, technically a recycled material. Instead of going into landfill or being burnt, it's a second life.
The collection and processing of leaves creates rural employment opportunities and a reason for the people not to migrate to bigger cities for employment.
Our partner employs Women from these remote areas, creating employment opportunities for them, helping them to become independent and self sustainable.
100% natural, no sealants, binding agents or chemicals are used; Toxic-free, Plastic free, BPA free, eco-friendly plates.
Every piece of tableware is handcrafted and not mass manufactured. Being natural, every piece is different to the other with it's colour, texture and own unique character.
They can be used more than once depending on how it's been used and after using simply return it back to nature in your compost bin or soil where natural elements will take care of it.
Being a brown waste, it would add nitrogen to the soil, isn't that amazing...
Your search for disposable diningware/eco-friendly party disposable ends here....
We stock whole range of compostable plates and cutlery.

5 Easy Ways to Improve Your Inner DIYer
When you're new to the world of DIY, starting even the smallest of projects can be a daunting task. How much money will it cost me? How much time will I waste? Do I even know what I'm doing? Questions like these can easily deflate a well planned weekend of hard work when you're not comfortable with yourself and your abilities.

A Bit of Daily Mindfulness: Becoming Your Best Self
Mindfulness. It's a buzz word, and we're all after it, even if we aren't totally sure what it is. But, the benefits are obvious — the ability to be wholly present, cognizant of where you are and what you're doing, and not being concerned or overwhelmed by what's going on around you, seems, well, kinda the whole point of life, right?
Good news. This is something we are all capable of achieving, and like any craft or skill, we'll become better when we practice daily. Here's how to start:

That Dragon, Debt: How to Give Yourself a Break as You Conquer the Beast
I am a defeated knight––noble in my essence (or so I feel), but waylaid and shrunken down while fighting a beast that no man could possibly face undaunted. The beast spits fire, inundates me with dust from its mighty, flapping wings, and seems to pull the very ground from underneath me. I cower behind my shield and do what I can to battle the beast back, but at best I can manage a draw in any of our fights. And day by day, the beast gains more ground. Or that's how I feel. The beast is debt. Random sums of money are my outmatched weapons. And despite my lobbing those missiles as hard and direct as I can, I

School Supplies: The Essential Tools You Need to Remain a Lifelong Learner
I spent solid twenty-five years of my life in school. It began in kindergarten and I then headed straight from high school into undergrad, a master's degree, and then a Ph.D (I know, I know...) One of the things I truly miss now that I'm no longer an enrolled student is the optimism and excitement that comes with shopping for school supplies. Nerd or not, there is something that is just exciting about having fresh notebooks, new pens and pencils, bags, folders––all the "stuff" of school. Adult life may entail the occasional new notebook, but there isn't a season for it in the Fall where everything is potential, and all the success and mistakes are in the future.
That we don't do this as adults is a shame. Because there is every reason for all of us to be ready for school. The longest project in a any maker's life is the constant, endless craft of oneself. And there is no way to make progress on this project without the proper tools. I think most people dedicated to craft have slid into a life of learning whether consciously or not. And there's no reason not to prepare ourselves with supplies to complete this project well. But, of course, a life of learning is not the same as preparing for a school year. It has a different set of requirements and it calls for some different kinds of supplies.

Use the "French Press Theory" to Get Things Done More Easily
Dirty dishes in the sink. Putting your clean socks away. Replying to that one email that's been sitting at the top of your inbox for longer than you'd be willing to admit out loud.
We all have that small handful of tasks and chores that weigh the heaviest on our souls and our to-do lists. Most often, they're the things that occur multiple times a week, so that when you look at them, you think, "Didn't I just do that? And doesn't it take forever?"
And that's where our brains lead us astray. Because, although, yes, you did probably just do that – no, it doesn't take forever.

Keeping Up With the Quotes! 10 Movies that People Love To Reference
Keeping up with pop culture can feel like a chore, especially if you find yourself in crowds where making casual reference to what you watch and listen to is part of day-to-day communication. Some aspects of the culture are just too vast to ever totally simplify. (Call me old, but I can never keep track with how quickly pop singers come into huge popularity and then seem to disappear.)
But more manageable than music are movies, which don't tend to get to reference-able level until it has not only saturated the audience, but also soaked deep into our memetic fibers. But in some cases, this takes a long time, and some of the films people

To Build a Garden is to Embrace that Some Projects are Unfinishable. And That's the Point.
The garden suggests there might be a place where we can meet nature halfway.
— Michael Pollan
If you've never gardened before, but you would consider yourself a DIY-er/craftsperson/maker or what have you, there may be some things about gardening that are very different than other kinds of projects. To build a garden entails some kinds of making that are very ordinary and along the lines of any other plan–>materials–>product kind of project. But in other ways, it requires craft and technique that are completely beyond other kinds of skills. But, to build a garden is not to simply make something. It is to embark on an un-finishable

Old School Burns: Ancient People Had Some Amazing Insults and Jokes
Here's something that is completely useless for your everyday life. It will not help you dress well, or create a perfect mothers day gift, or fix your shoelaces, or build a dynamically-planted garden, or anything of the sort. But if you are at a dinner party or out with friends or in a mixed group and you wanna bring out something funny, erudite and pretty out of the ordinary, nothing works like an unexpected joke from an ancient figure whose quotes usually end up chiseled into marble.
Fair warning: some bawdiness follows. Despite the editors of ancient manuscripts, real people in the ancient world weren't above off color jokes.

What to Do During Down Times Instead of Staring at Your Phone
Downtime. Or, in same cases, dead times: waiting rooms, lines, traffic, the moments in between appointments. Those places where you get nowhere quickly, but live in effective purgatory, embracing neither productivity or relaxation. To the overly ambitious (or those suffering from some form of adult ADHD), these are the times that try your soul in that special kind of slow-drip water torture way.
Sure, you could kill your dead time by scrolling through Instagram. You may even decide to do something useful with your phone, like one-liner email replies or clearing out your old voicemail. But what if you want to occasionally limit your exposure to the little blue screen that wasn't a crucial part of human existence before 2007?
In lieu of time-killers, here are four suggestions for time-fillers that you can perform with absolutely no equipment other than your mind and your body (as well as one that requires a simple piece of string). These are especially helpful if you're stuck in a situation where you really shouldn't be using your phone, like stop-and-go traffic.

17 Things You Should Probably Give Up This Year

If You Actually Want Your New Year's Resolutions to Stick — Do This, Not That
There is lots of scientific research on why setting goals on January 1 never really works out, and why, by March or April, we've all backslid into our old habits. Often, it's because goals aren't specific enough, or we haven't found the best way to track the work we've done. Or, perhaps we don't actually believe we can achieve that new version of ourselves for the long term.

Use Benjamin Franklin's 13 Virtues to Help You Be a Better Person this Year
If you're looking for a New Year's resolution list to help inspire your personal betterment this year, look no further than this founding father's temperance chart. Read on to see how you can print your own.
As far as the truly great characters from U.S. History to which we might look for timeless advice, it's hard to beat Benjamin Franklin. (We still love you, Mark Twain!) Franklin was born into a family of very modest means, but he manage to use his basic education (he stopped going to school at age ten) to become a successful author, scientist, statesman, printer, politician, inventor, humorist, civic activist, diplomat, and $100 dollar bill appear-er.

My Tears: Reflections on Crying as a Grown Man
My tears. Since I was in my late 20s at least, they've come more easily than ever before. Sad things can bring them on, sure. But mostly, it's the beautiful things. The profound things. And things that are just poignant and stirring. But whatever the cause, they come with frankness and in real earnest.
Sometimes I wonder if I should listen to Sufjan in public anymore. Always an emotional songwriter, his last few efforts, Carrie and Lowell and Planetarium, have been especially frank, incisively autobiographical and completely leveling (especially when you get clued into his autobiography.) It is inevitable that my eyes will become wells in a coffeeshop. But I guess I believe that it's not reasonable to blubber in public or have a crying fit while I'm at work, there is a deeper sense of shame that, if I'm honest, rests down in the nether regions of my psyche, and it is activated when my tears come. I am brought to tears in public by openness, but then shame comes and closes me up again.

These Are Questions You Should Be Asking Around the Campfire
Have you noticed? It's summer! It's the time of year when we dust off the backyard with friends and linger late into the night.

But good conversations don't always come easy, so here are a few tips to get into the kind of convos you'll remember for years.

6 Tips for Minimizing Distractions from Your Smartphone
I'm a firm believer that tools are like personal strengths: the user's attitude determines the outcome. You can take a neutral tool and channel it for good or evil; a candlestick can class up a dining room table, or it can kill Professor Plum in the billiard room. Not only that, but the more power a tool holds, the more care you have to take with it. (It's like the main takeaway from Spider-Man: with great power comes great responsibility.)
The smartphone is a prime example. Sometimes when it's better to leave it off, like we suggested in our article on filling downtime without staring at your phone. But lest you label me a Luddite, let me admit that I use my phone all day: emailing, listening to music (currently: Spotify app, Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers), shooting and editing photos, keeping in touch with overseas family on Facebook, professional networking on Instagram and LinkedIn, mobile banking, making note of future ManMadeDIY articles, and so much more.
In fact, I use my phone so much that I need to give myself guidelines to help keep me from staring into it all day. Here are some of those tips.

New Years is Bad for Resolutions! Spring is the Season of Getting Your Act Together.
The beginning of the calendar year is a bizarre time to be making resolutions. But still... we do it. Every year. In early January, it has only been winter for a few weeks, and most people have just spent most of that time stuffing themselves with cookies, candies and rich meals. Whatever you may be willing to commit to on January 1 as you look at yourself through holiday goggles that are covered in ham glaze, egg nog and New Year's confetti, has a poor chance of coming to fruition. Despite the holiday, January does not feel much different than December, and it feels a lot like February. For most of us who live in parts of the country

An Embarrassment of Riches: Why You Should Love Your Local Library
It seems like a cliche now, but for what feels like a generation we've been living with the idea that libraries are dead. The idea of a library, for many of us, is of a kind of museum full of things that might be curiosities. But like many brick-and-mortar institutions of old, we don't need what's inside. This point of view is understandable, but it is a huge mistake. Because libraries are not falling behind our digital way of thinking––they were way ahead of all of us in realizing how we would wish information to be available and how we wanted to engage it. Think about it: Libraries collect all kinds of information, all kinds of media

The (Still Existing) Power of a Handwritten Letter
When was the last time that you wrote a meaningful handwritten letter to your spouse, parents, siblings or friends? Do you remember the last time you received a handwritten letter from someone significant in your life? The odds are, you're much more likely to remember the answer to the latter of those two questions because it felt like a special occasion. Ever since the mid-1990s when "you've got mail" became a familiar tagline, handwritten letters have fallen by the waste side - being replaced with emails, texts, and tweets. For so many reasons, putting down the phone and picking up the pen can be substantially more impactful.

Until We Meet Again
1. Eat the grapefruit/huge lemon from Kauai
It was incredibly horrendously sour! So Luke decided to squeeze out the juice and diluted it with water. It was still very unpleasant, but I took funny videos of him peeling, squeezing, mixing, and drinking. We often watch them and still laugh out loud. I won't show the videos here, but here are some screen shots of the "bartender" at work.
2. Pack
Suitcases always seem heavier on return trips. It was no exception with us. We didn't buy any large-item souvenirs and washed our clothes daily, but it just seemed we had a lot more stuff going home. We packed light and only had 1 large suitcase and a small duffel bag between the 2 of us. While at the airport later, the large suitcase was overweight that we had to do some shuffling. It didn't make sense to me. We simply moved some stuff from the large suitcase to the duffel bag. The overall weight that the airplane would carry was still the same, but if we hadn't done that, United was going to charge us extra for the overweight suitcase. What a scam!
Excuse me for the blurry image, it was captured from the video as well.
While at the complementary breakfast buffet that morning, we grabbed extra pastries for the road. We lived on these pastries during our week in Oahu. They were island-inspired so the flavors were a bit more interesting. Flavors such as papaya, banana, and taro. The crust was so flaky and light. It was like eating air. Air with 1000 calories.
Taking a little bit of Hawaii with us…
3. Walk to the beach for one. last. time.
What ya know? Even the sun came out to bid us farewell. Where were you the last 4 days when we needed you? For 2 hours, we sat on this very bench and watched the world go by. Okay, really, we were just people watching. It was a lot of fun, talking about the people around us and trying to figure out their stories.
Here were some of the people we watched. I labeled each accordingly. The Hot Girls took turns posing and taking pictures of one another. I thought they were college students, but Luke said that they looked older. Regardless, they inspired me to get in shape. But now that I am back home, I am no longer inspired.
The Little Girl, The Mom, and The Baby were family. There was also a brother and father (not pictured). Actually we saw the family arriving at the beach, but the father took off somewhere and never came back. It was funny because The Mom and the kids just left their stuff at the side of the road and took off to the beach. No one was guarding them and they didn't care about things getting stolen. The Baby was so cute. She looked adorable in her arm floaters.
The Father and Daughter first rode on the yellow water bicycle on the right of the picture for about half an hour. The Father took turns with his wife (not pictured), but The Daughter stayed on the whole time. When I took the picture, the wife was sun bathing, and The Father and Daughter were playing in the water. Seemed like a very tight family.
Here we were, observing...
It was so much fun and the weather was so nice that we didn't leave until when we realized that we would miss the flight if we didn't.
4. Eat
We were patrons to this Chinese buffet a total of 3 times. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner - we tried them all. When we visit Oahu next time, we are coming back here! We will always remember the tourists (all guys) from Mainland and their man purses.
This was what I put in my tummy that morning. It was so good, especially the eggs. I wish I knew how to cook eggs EXACTLY like that.
After breakfast, we slowly walked back to our hotel for the very last time. ::sobs:: We checked out around 12 noon and the front desk called a cab for us. When a limo pulled up instead, we were a bit confused. But it was indeed for us so we got to ride in a limo together for the very first time! What a wonderful way to end our honeymoon.
Hawaii, you had us at aloha.

"There is overwhelming bipartisan support outside of Washington that we need to finally secure our borders, enforce our laws, and stop the problem of illegal immigration." —Ted Cruz
"Quite simply, federal laws already on the books aimed at stopping the flow of illegal immigration must be enforced. Furthermore, states must be given the resources necessary to confront the problem, which includes strengthening the border patrol." — Allen West
In spite of President Trump's crack down on illegal immigration, illegal aliens are pouring into our country in large numbers. For the months of March, April and May of 2018 over 50,000 illegal aliens have crossed our southern border each month, according to the U. S. Border Patrol. 50,000 illegal entries per month equals 600,000 illegal entries per year and you, a legal American, get to pay for each one of them, and pay through the nose.
Right after the U. S. Government's Department of Homeland Security (DHS) decided to end family separation at the southern border due to irrational Democratic pressure and U. S. District court decisions, the word traveled like a wildfire to Central and South America. On September 13, 2018, DHS reported a huge spike in the number of families crossing into the U. S. seeking asylum. Of course, we have to take them all in under U. S. law.
In 2012, Obama issued an executive order that shielded millions of illegal aliens from deportation, who came here illegally with their parents. (DACA) Once again, the word got out to Central and South America and a humanitarian crisis erupted at America's southern border with tens of thousands of minors showing up at the border without parents or guardians. These children now live in America and legal Americans are paying for their care, to the tune of billions of dollars per year. Thousands of those un-accompanied minors were and are members of the brutal gang known as MS-13.
Several credible research organizations have pegged the illegal immigrant population between 11 to 12 million. Many Americans are skeptical of these numbers and believe the illegal immigrant population is much higher, maybe even as high as 20 million. What most of these research organizations forget to mention is that illegal immigrants have babies. Pew Research, in a recent report, stated that 275,000 babies were born to illegal aliens living in the United States in 2017. Each one of those babies became an anchor baby under the 14th Amendment and at the same time became a U. S. Citizen, creating a huge magnet and spurring further illegal immigration. Most of these new illegal alien babies are born into poor illegal alien families and require growing government assistance.
Further, birth rates among minority groups are much higher than the white population, increasing the ratio of the minority population to the white population. The birth rate of the white population has fallen below replacement. In 1940 the white population in America was 89.8%. Today it is 62%. The fact is, America is slowly browning and becoming a poorer nation. This is not meant as a racial statement, only a statement of fact.
If it isn't clear by now, it may never be clear. When it comes to protecting our borders and allowing hordes of poor illegal aliens into America, the American government is failing the legal citizens of America and failing them badly. Will the legal population of America sit back and watch while indigent, non-English speaking illegal aliens overrun their country? Will they ignore the thousands of tons of narcotics pouring into America every year, a real and present danger to their children? Will they watch as their taxes go up to pay for this extremely poor illegal alien population? Will they turn their heads as the low-skilled jobs dry up for legal Americans? Will they look the other way while diseases that were eradicated in America years ago, return to our shores from disease-carrying illegal aliens re-infecting Americans?
If government won't protect us then who will? If our representatives that are suppose to represent the people in the people's best interests, are incapable of defending America's sovereignty and its borders, who then will do the job? Is the answer just to let them all in anywhere at any time and grant them amnesty? If the laws of America are not sufficient to stop the hordes of illegal aliens then the laws should be changed, or the laws should be ignored by law enforcement. Since government won't do it, the job to change the laws, ignore the laws, or enforce the existing laws, falls on the shoulders of the American people, en masse.
Ladies and gentlemen, we don't need a fortress type wall, with concrete and steel on the southern border, we need a heavily armed human wall. If 50,000 armed legal, citizen Americans, or the National Guard, descended on the southern border with orders to apprehend illegal aliens under arms and then immediately deport them without regard to individual situations, the hordes will continue and the cost to support the hordes will go up exponentially. If they can get in for free, more will come. If there is no price to pay, there is no deterrent.
America can't take in all the poor of the world without destroying our standard of living, seriously increasing our national debt and swamping our own lifeboat! The Democrats don't care. Illegal aliens are future Democrat voters.
Oh, but you say, the job of protecting our borders is the job of the border patrol or the military. Why should American citizens put their lives on the line? BECAUSE THEIR VERY FREE LIVES AND PERSONAL SECURTIY ARE ON THE LINE! Until American citizens start putting their lives on the line, all this socialist, environmental, illegal immigration and one-world-order crap that is going on in America today, will continue and get worse while gutless legal American citizens are being led around by the nose by their representatives, the elite, the establishment, the central bankers and the deep state.
Where in the Hell are the mavericks of America that won't stand for dictates and edicts from those that consider them selves superior to the masses? Where are the heroes that run headlong into battle to defeat the enemy or save their comrades? Have the men of America turned into sissies who are afraid to get their hands dirty or their feet wet? Where are the leaders among men that can motivate an army of men? Where are the financiers that have the contacts to raise the money to feed, house and maintain that army of men? Are we Americans that say we cherish freedom, that impotent?
Brave Americans saved the world from the Nazis, the Japanese and the Soviet Communists. How difficult of a job would it be to save America from the socialist Democrats?
We all moan and groan about how bad it is, but which of us will pick up the pen, the shovel, or the gun to preserve, protect and defend our freedom and the Constitution of the United States?
The previous Senate battle over the ascension of Brett Kavanaugh to the U. S. Supreme Court was just a taste of more things to come. It is the re-enforcement of mob rule in America and winning by any means, by the left that has been going on for decades. They are not going to let up until they push conservatives into the ground and silence their message of constitutional freedom forever. Sadly, the bullies may just have enough brainwashed "zombies" (voters) to get the job done ….. that is if free Americans don't stand up to this collective socialist bully with a greater force.
If we don't push back against the Progressive bullies (Democrats) that are trying to take over America by mob rule, then we might just as well let all of the illegal aliens in, stop our activism and let the chips fall where they may. America will be dead as a free nation anyway, if it isn't almost there now.
We have put forth a very BOLD PEACEFUL PLAN to reclaim our Republic. Some say our plan can't be done because it is just too bold. But then of course the same naysayers said freedom could never be born in America in 1776 but freedom was born anyway. Many said we couldn't tame the frontier and bring the railroad to the continent but we did. Some have said we could never go to the moon, or explore the solar system, but we are.
If those among you who haven't become American sissies and have decided to do something besides moan and groan, try turning your anger into meaningful action by determining for yourself if our plan is too bold. We will lead the charge if enough will join us. But alas, the general that leads a charge without an army is a fool and a martyr. He will die or be locked up and tortured. Rest assured, we have no intentions of becoming a martyr.
Otherwise, you might just as well let all the illegal aliens in, give them an amnesty card like the one shown above and pay the piper, that is if high taxes and strangling regulation under mob rule haven't made you go broke and you are forced to join the hopeless, drug infested, mentally deranged homeless on the streets of our big cities.
Now of course you can say that there is no war and everything is just fine in America. Why expose yourself to government scrutiny or government wrath? It's OK that your taxes are too high and sorely wasted by government. It's OK that the wealthy elite and international corporations are working feverishly to dissolve American sovereignty in favor of one world government. It's OK that radical environmentalism has overwhelmed the freedoms and liberties we have come to expect under our Constitution. It's OK that health care premiums are going through the roof. It's OK that most of our public school teachers and college professors are rabid environmentalists and socialists that were taught in our liberal colleges. They are teaching our kids how to be good little socialists. It's OK that the Democrats want to repeal the Electoral College.
It's OK that our borders are empty vessels with no bottoms that allow all the Jose's, Juan's and Maria's that want to, pour through without being impeded and then abusing America's generosity. It's OK that many cities and some states have declared sanctuaries for illegal alien murders, rapists and robbers. Certainly it is no problem that the nation's infrastructure is in a serious state of repair. It's OK that the 13 Colonies that gave to birth to freedom are now hotbeds of socialism. And why should we worry that our government institutions have now been weaponized for political purposes with their number one enemy being every American conservative individual or group. It's OK that the Internal Revenue Service has been turned into a politicized Gestapo collection agency that has every American shivering in fear. We could go on, but what's the point if nothing is going to be done, or no one is going to lift a finger to change it.
Good God! When are Americans going to wake up? You can't win a war with teacups, crumpets and pleasant conversation, or moaning and groaning over the loss of freedoms …. or looking the other way. You can't win a war just by voting for politicians who don't respect their solemn oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. Yes, voting is one tool in the war but not the only tool. To win a war you have to get courageous, determined and mean!
Ladies and gentlemen, at considerable personal risk, we're putting ourselves on the line. Which of YOU have the courage to join us?

I got interested in the oxidation mechanism, so that I could understand why we are constantly being advised to consume antioxidants. Why are they so important to our health?
Oxidation and free radicals
Free radicals
A free radical is a chemical species (atom or molecule) whose number of electrons does not correspond to a stable configuration. Here are some examples of stable species:
- O2 (oxygen)
- H + (hydrogen ion)
- HO- (hydroxide)
Oxygen is electrically neutral, but the others not. Yet the 3 chemical species are stable. In order for a chemical species to become a free radical, a disturbance must happen, which alters its stable configuration. The number of electrons then becomes different than the stable version.
Let's take the most famous example, oxygen:
Small dots represent electrons (negative electric charge). With 6 electrons on the outer layer, each atom is neutral, but above all: stable. If an external element forcibly gives it an extra electron. It then becomes a free radical, named "superoxide".
The latter is then unstable, with a short lifespan. But above all, it will try to stabilize by sticking to the elements around it, and by reacting with them. This consequently forms new chemical species, among which free radicals, and the reaction propagates so forth as a chain.
And what is "oxidative stress"?
Oxidative stress is an attack caused by a reactive oxygen species. We will by the way notice the common prefix "oxy" (oxidation / oxygen)! The following free radicals thus cause oxidative stress:
- the superoxide anion (O2•-)
- hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)
- the hydroxyl radical (HO•)
When free radicals of an oxygen species attack a cell, they damage its membrane, its proteins, and even its DNA! The cell is then oxidized: it cannot function properly, and dies. When its DNA is affected, the disrupted cell can even become a "mutant" cell, and therefore potentially a cancerous cell.
The causes can be external or internal. The most famous are:
- Metabolism (energy production – in mitochondria – releases free radicals)
- Stress
- Food
- Drugs and chemicals
- Alcoool
- toxins
- UV rays
- Radiations
- Inflammation / Infection / Injury
- Aging
- Pollution
- Smoking
- …
When free radicals aren't neutralized (by the antioxidants that we will see later), the consequences may be dramatic:
- Peroxidation of lipids
- Cell oxidation
- Membrane
- protein
- DNA (mutant cells -> cancer)
- Damage to connective tissue and collagen (used for tissue repair)
- Cancer
- Cardiovascular illnesses
- Arthritis
- Autoimmune diseases
- Diabetes
- …
We have just seen that free radicals are harmful to our body. The good news is that our body contains many antioxidants, which can counteract this oxidation mechanism. These antioxidants are mainly produced by the body itself, but they can also come from our diet, as an additional help.
They don't all have exactly the same specificities or properties, but they all have the same goal: to make free radicals stable again, so that they no longer harm the body. Some will target some free radicals in particular, or some parts of the cell (membrane, mitochondria, etc.). Thanks to their specificities, they complement each other.
Oxidation and anti-oxidation permanently take place in our body. It's a vital balance. But it's not even that simple: oxidation is a natural mechanism that is not always negative. Sometimes the body uses it as a weapon in order to fight against pathogens (eg viruses). On the other hand, if the antioxidants run out, then the cells die, or worse, become cancerous. This is an open door to many pathologies.
Antioxidants will give (or steal) an electron to free radicals in order to stabilize and repair them. Their power lies in the fact that they can give up electrons without becoming a free radical themselves (there are however some limits to that).
We could dedicate an entire article to antioxidants. As for food, they are naturally present in fruits and vegetables, green tea, berries, etc. Some spices, such as turmeric, are also a good antioxidant source.
- Vitamins A, C, E, B complex
- Zinc
- Selenium
- CoQ10 (made by our body)
- curcumin
- …
Inflammation and free radicals
Oxidative stress damages cells (proteins, membrane and DNA). If these disruptions are not controlled by antioxidants, the body goes to plan B: an inflammatory reaction is triggered. An imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants can consequently lead to systemic chronic inflammation (generalized).
Although my explanation is a little simplistic, you must keep in mind that oxidative stress and chronic inflammation are two mechanisms that are often seen together. It would therefore be clever to combine a diet that is both anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant.
Much like chronic inflammation, you never know if excess of oxidative stress is a cause or consequence of body disorders. What we know, however, is that taking antioxidants (drugs or food) protects us from accelerated aging triggered by the oxidation of our precious cells.
While waiting for an article dedicated to an anti-oxidant diet, here are my two favorites: turmeric and green tea. And you, what is your secret antioxidant?

ILIAS 20 - Oracle Forms Modernization
This post addresses the changes in UI design that we made when updating the latest version of ILIAS.
With 20 years of know-how built in to the system, a software development team of Oracle Forms experts, and a user community of several thousands of users, a switch to a different technology would cause a significant amount of change. Change with which military organizations don't deal well.
Apart from that, Oracle Forms still beats many other technologies in terms of speed of development.

If you surf the net in search of weight loss tips, you'll no doubt have seen dozens of ads and/or links for weight loss articles offering you 'top tips to reduce belly fat!!', or '5 ways to lose fat from your thighs!'. I've been more active on Pinterest lately and am seeing this 'advice' pop up a lot so I figured a reality check was called for.
Can you reduce belly fat?
Of course, but not in the way the headlines imply. These 'top tips' do you a real disservice with their over-simplifications and half-truths, so it's time to be very clear about this:
It is impossible to 'spot reduce' fat, meaning, that you can't pick and choose where on your body fat will be removed from (except through cosmetic surgery!).
When you diet, that is, you eat at a calorie deficit to lose weight, fat will come off all over your body. The rate of fat loss, and where it's noticeable, depends largely on your genetics.
For women, it's quite often the case that the areas of 'stubborn' fat, i.e. belly, buttocks and thighs, where hormones dictate we're more likely to store it, are the places fat will come off last.
So when you're offered a chance to 'target stubborn belly fat' for example, this is only likely to be effective for actually reducing fat from those areas if your overall body fat percentage is already quite low, and you might be almost at your weight loss goal.
As a very rough guiding principle, fat tends to visibly reduce from our extremities first, slowly moving in towards our torsos, and coming off the belly, hips, buttocks and thighs last, although of course we are all different and have different body shapes.
So, what then?
What you can do to target a particular area is to develop the muscle in that area so that you look more toned. Visible muscle definition reduces the appearance of body fat. You look leaner. But it is physically impossible for fat to convert in any way into muscle.
The secret to looking lean is to have well-toned muscle and minimal body fat. Stripping away the fat covering over your muscle is what creates the look that many people are actually seeking when they say they want to 'lose weight'.
To summarise:
- You can't 'target' a particular area for fat loss. Fat loss will occur at a steady rate, providing you are exercising and eating at a calorie deficit to burn your fat stores.
- Belly fat is one of those particular problem areas for women that, depending on your genetics and your hormones, is likely to be one of the last areas for fat to reduce from. This means being patient and accepting that overall fat loss is a marathon, not a sprint.
- At the same time as doing the 'hard' work with your diet, you can begin to look slimmer by developing muscle all over, and particularly in those areas you're most troubled by. Strength training has myriad other benefits too, and no, you won't 'bulk up'.
- Fat cannot be 'converted' to muscle. The 'secret' to being lean is to develop muscle through exercise, and strip away the covering fat through diet.
Don't be discouraged by this, but be patient and be realistic. Most of all, be prepared to do the hard work and not be sucked in by the false promises the diet 'industry' trades in.
You can do it!

The idea behind the eat clean diet is to eliminate over-processed, refined foods, especially things like white flour and sugar.
This diet was created by Tosca Reno a family nutrition expert, TV host and bestselling author.
She is a mother of several children and at one time weighed over 200 pounds. She was concerned with her health and realized that in order to live a long healthy life for her kids she would have to lose weight and improve her diet.
She created the eat clean diet plan and eat clean diet recipes and wrote a book about this special diet.
If you are concerned with not only dropping some weight but greatly improving your health this may be the diet for you.
Basic guidelines for the eat clean diet.
- Eat 5-6 small meals each day.
2. Eat every few hours. Every 2-3 hours is a good guideline.
3. Make sure to combine lean protein and complex carbs at every meal.
4. Drink at least 8 glasses of fresh water daily.
5. Don't miss meals, especially breakfast.
6. Carry a cooler full of clean eating meals to get through your day.
7. Avoid all processed, refined foods.. especially sugar and white flour products. They are not good for healthy diets.
8. Avoid all saturated fats and trans fats.
9. Avoid colas and juices full of sugar.
10. Consume adequate good fats (EFA's each day)
11. Don't use alcohol because it is another form of sugar.
12. Avoid foods with many calories that have no nutritional value.
13. Eat fresh fruits and vegetables for the fiber content, vitamins and enzymes they contain.
14. Stick to smaller, proper size food portions.
The actual recipes and more information is in her cookbook (one of many actually) which you can get right here. Tosca Reno's Eat Clean Cookbook: Delicious Recipes That Will Burn Fat and Re-Shape Your Body!
Eat Clean Diet Plan Example
Options: (her book has fabulous recipes)
- porridge
- egg white and spinach scramble
- cottage cheese pancakes
- Tofu cabbage rolls
- Chicken strips with tofu
- Low fat turkey burgers
- Roasted salmon
- Pork tenderloin
- Tuna salad
Snacks can include salads, fresh fruit and veggies and low calorie foods that are not packaged, processed or refined.
The most important thing to remember with this diet happens in the grocery store when you shop. Make sure you read labels and do not buy foods that are refined and processed, full of sugar or white flour.
This means not buying pre-packaed conveinence foods but rather natural whole foods as close to the way nature made them.
Try shopping in the organic section because many of those foods are minimally processed and all around healthier for you.
It might be more expensive but if you cut back on how much food you eat, you will find that your grocery bill stays about the same.
Eating clean will clear out your body of all the toxic junk you have built up over time and help your body to function better.
A healthy body absorbs more nutrition because your body starts to digest the food better and also eliminate the digested foods easier and faster.
When your body is very efficient at these processes it is much harder to put weight back on. And also harder for diseases to take hold and develop.
To learn more about the principles of the eat clean diet get the book called The Eat-Clean Diet, Fast Fat-Loss that lasts Forever!
It is a great book to help you with your weight loss and overall health.
Here is a great resource with lots of information on diet and fitness. Don't Miss it!
