Walk This Way
In 1999, Safe Kids Worldwide and FedEx created Walk This Way to bring national and local attention to pedestrian safety issues. What started as a pilot program in three U.S. cities has now grown to 10 countries around the world – Brazil, Canada, China, India, the Philippines, South Africa, South Korea, Thailand, the United States and Vietnam – and includes more than 250 communities in the United States alone.
Walk This Way relies on FedEx employee volunteers and encourages new partners, including public officials, public agencies, community organizations and parents, to join Safe Kids Worldwide to improve conditions for child pedestrians around the globe.
Since its inception, the Walk This Way program has grown to include four main components:
Awareness and Advocacy Activities
- International Walk to School Day. In October of every year, millions of children from countries around the world participate in Safe Kids Walk This Way events for International Walk to School Day.
- Halloween Safety/Fall Harvest Activities. In the United States on average, children are more than twice as likely to be hit by a car and killed on Halloween than on any other day of the year. Safe Kids host events to educate families about safety risks and to promote visibility.
Infrastructure Improvements
- Safe School Zones. Each year, coalitions around the country create local task forces with the goal of improving pedestrian conditions for children by making long-term environmental improvements.
- Model School Zone. Safe Kids worked with 10 schools, one each in 10 different countries, to develop safer school zones, and in doing so, create evidence-based interventions to increase child pedestrian safety that could serve as models for other schools around the world.
- Pedestrian Safety Research. Safe Kids research and environmental assessments reveal emerging issues for child pedestrians.
Education Programs
- Start Safe Travel. Safe Kids works with Head Start centers to provide transportation safety information and hands-on training to staff, parents and caregivers.
- In-School Road Safety Education. Globally, 1,000 young people a day die on the roads. Safe Kids develops culturally sensitive educational materials and partners with schools, teachers' unions and governments to provide road safety education to students.
Decade of Action for Road Safety
The United Nations General Assembly has set the goal for the decade: "to stabilize and then reduce the forecast level of road traffic fatalities around the world" by 2020. Learn more about the Decade of Action for Road Safety.
The Results
Since the Walk This Way program launched, the number of child pedestrian fatalities has decreased by 40 percent in the United States. In 2012, the program reached more than 2 million children in nearly 4,000 schools around the world with 5,411 hours of volunteer support from FedEx employees.
Through the program's largest and most widespread activity, International Walk to School Day, Safe Kids and FedEx have engaged 8.2 million children, 16,000 FedEx volunteers and 10,000 schools in the United States in the past 13 years. In the past year, Walk This Way has improved the walking environments of 38 schools in 27 cities in eight countries.
In addition:
- With support from FedEx, Safe Kids coalitions conduct more than 1,500 Safe Kids Walk This Way activities each year in the United States.
- Through strong partnerships with teachers' unions, Safe Kids India holds more than 3,000 road safety education sessions for students each year.
- The Walk This Way program has won international and country level awards, including the Prince Michael of Kent International Road Safety Award in 2011. The Award recognizes achievements and innovations that improve road safety worldwide.
Around the World
We envision a world where every child can have a safe place to walk, play and live. We have made progress, but we will continue working with our partners around the world to increase knowledge and awareness among community members, engage policy makers and build safer walking environments. We will also find new partners who share our passion for keeping kids safe.

So much for cultural relativity. IMO some cultures are better than others.
Unquestionably. And FGM is not justified on cultural grounds either.
To hell with political correctness . . . period.
@Haunter -- A lot of people find it politically incorrect to criticize non-western cultures
The picture actually comes from Mona Eltahawy's article in Foreign Policy's Sex Issue(!) Highly recommended reading.
yes! thank you Arcus!, the article is called "why they hate us".. the war on women in the middle east
of course some cultures are better than others.. and to say otherwise is to ignore the tribal practises that mutilate women, kill them for having sex, child brides, ect ect... and say it's ok because it's their "culture"..
multiculturalism is great when it doesn't contradict human rights.. when it's doesn't incorporate a faith based judicial system written by 7th century men that see women as inferior,and only as good as an intact hymen...
Rights are always based on some specific culture's preferences, prejudices, and biases. Rights come in two flavors: legislated and imaginary.
In your case, you are all for multiculturalism as long as it's compatible with what you (and our culture) think is right. In a Hindu culture, they might think we're okay as long as we stop eating beef (though pork, lamb, and chicken are okay).

I've never been so sad at the end of a month, and that's because it also means the end of my vacations *sigh*.
And vacations are nice not only because they're, well, vacations but also because they allow you to wear different looks and use different makeup products!
So here are my favorites for July!
Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer.
I never thought I'd love a TM so much! But I've been using it every day during my vacation, with only a bit of concealer on strategic areas. I'm not totally sure I could get along with just that for a long day at work but on any other day, it does the job pretty well!
Oh and the shade I wear is Nude.
Givenchy Prisme Again Visage in Sun Mango applied with Ecotools Powder Brush.
This is a magic combination! I absolutely love this bronzer, which gives a nice summery peachy glow that is perfect for fair skin. Not too warm, certainly not orange, just perfect. The big fluffy Ecotools brush picks the right amount and mixes the 4 shades well, it's the best brush I have used to apply this bronzer. (note that there's a large flat bronzer brush included in the powder compact, in case of emergency)
Illamasqua Brow Powder in Motto.
I've tried a lot of brow products, and there are others that I like, but I always come back to this one. It's easy to apply, looks perfectly natural and lasts all day.
Motto is a kaki shade that works for blondes or light brunettes. Yes - kaki, that's actually what looks the most natural with that hair color, no greenish shade is showing, I swear.
Yves Saint-Laurent Faux-Cils mascara.
For some reason, YSL Singulier has been really irritating my eyes lately, which makes me really sad. Luckily, the ingredients in Singulier and Faux-Cils are different, and this one still works perfectly for me. I have tried a couple of other mascaras recently, which I will tell you about later, but haven't found anything yet that compares with the YSL ones.
Isn't this the loveliest eyeshadow combination? I've been really loving it, even more as I've always been a fan of Mac mineralize eyeshadows. I'm pretty sure this one would transition into Winter very well.
What were your favorites for this month?

A Lament to Valentine's Day
Feb 06, 2018
Nope. This not another commentary on Valentine's Day being the worst, robbing couples of true love with artificial cards, too-expensive candies, stuffed jungle animals holding plush hearts & flowers that die in a week. Nope. Not that at all. It is, however, a lament to every piece of counterfeit love littered as confetti throughout the entire universe. Love is masquerading itself as "one night." Love is seen as "only if it's convenient." "Love means never having to say you're sorry." – from

This isn't my typical new year, new me, blog post. While I have made a few resolutions, they are pretty personal. I'm not sure I want to make them public – not out of fear, but out of respect to myself. Some things social media just doesn't need to see. However, I would be happy to share my 2018 reading list with the world. I love to plan what books I have on tap for the upcoming months. Not only does it help me to reach my goal of actually reading them, because sometimes I don't (let's

I can say some really, really stupid stuff. There have been a few toothpaste-out-of-the-tube moments in my life. You know, where I start to say something, venting, angry or sarcastic & then I immediately retract – attempting to put the toothpaste back in the tube – attempting to salvage my hurtful phrases. It is probably possible, for all of you people thinking literally, to put the toothpaste back in the tube, however, it is very difficult to retract what you have said once it has left your
My Teaching Philosophy
Oct 04, 2017
At the beginning of the school year, with the help of one of my dear colleagues, I had each students write a "This I believe" essay. Not only did I want to understand the students writing ability, but I also wanted to understand my students as people – who they were and what they are about. Some titles of essays that I received… "I believe in God." "I believe in good food." "I believe in friendship." "I believe in love." "I believe in hard work." Needless to say, my students are lovely

I was up most of the night. When i took them, she hadn't really fed them so i whipped up some formula with a tad bit of ground meat and they ate it up in a flash. They were mostly howling for Sandy so i slept right next to pen (First time not sleeping in the bed in YEARS) Fed them @ 8m.. they took a nap...woke up and started playing....fell asleep & now i'm gonna wake them up to eat.
They are 2 days short of 4 weeks but they're pooping on their own and lapping out a saucer (messy eaters). I notice they have fleas (from the Boxer ) so i'm gonna give them a bath (as i can't use any flea drops till they're 8 weeks). They're so cute~!!

Over on the IEBlog Microsoft just announced the official release of Internet Explorer 10 for all Windows 7 users. This is tremendous news considering the great deal of support for web-standards that Internet Explorer 10 has over Internet Explorer 9. Apparently there a number of serious performance enhancements done as well.
All Windows 7 users (well, assuming they have a legit copy of Windows 7 I presume) can download the latest browser from Microsoft today, and begin to participate in the more modern web. Anybody running the Release Preview of IE10 on Windows 7 will be auto-updated today, and in weeks to come we will see instances of IE9 auto-update to IE10.
This is a good day for the web!

In a world that produces more food than ever before, far too many people will still go to bed hungry tonight.
"Food security—hunger—is a huge problem," said Shenggen Fan, director general of the International Food Policy Research Institute. "Almost a billion people are suffering from undernourishment. They simply don't have enough to eat.
"And more than two billion people are suffering from nutritional deficiencies, the lack of things like iron, zinc, and vitamin A. This 'hidden hunger' can cause great damage to people's health and to their productive lives because economic growth really suffers with undernourishment," said Fan.
When the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20) will be held in Brazil from June 20 to 22, Fan stressed, "poor people's access to food has to be at the center of the discussion."
Of course, the main sources of human food include farms and fisheries. But both of these sources are being exploited unsustainably.
Down on the Farm
More than 40 percent of the world's population is employed in agriculture—more than in any other sector. In developing countries, tiny smallholder farms provide up to 80 percent of the total food supply. These rural, poor households are most vulnerable to variable weather and climate.
"Around half of these small farmers in the developing world are either self-sufficient, just eating what they produce, or they are net food buyers rather than net food sellers," Fan said. "So the first priority for them is to grow more healthful, nutritious food to feed themselves. They can't just produce rice. They need a more diversified production."
Since the 1900s, a staggering 75 percent of the world's total crop diversity has disappeared from farmers' fields. Restoring crop diversity can help small farmers achieve a more varied and nutritious diet, while getting greater productivity from the land with fewer inputs of water, fertilizer, and energy. This is partly because breaking up monoculture tends to reduce concentration of pests, and certain plant combinations can even serve as "biological controls" by repelling pests. A diversity of crops also tends to make a farm better able to weather changes in rainfall or temperature.
Fan touts the advance of new crop varieties like rice, corn, and sweet potatoes bred for the climates in which they're grown that can better tolerate troublesome pests or resist heat and drought. "We're looking at seeds that have higher nutritional value but [by requiring less human intervention] also cut down energy use and carbon emissions at the same time," Fan said. That's another important step toward sustainability for an industry that produces some 30 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions, and is among those most threatened with changes as the climate shifts.
But helping smallholder farmers feed their families is only an initial step, Fan stressed. "Eventually we must help many smallholders to graduate from subsistence farming so they can sell produce and provide educational opportunities for their children. We have to help them to earn money through food production," he said.
Fishing for Change
Fishing is another paramount source of human food; some three billion people count on marine species as their primary source of protein. Our oceans once seemed inexhaustible, but today the troubling impacts of overfishing are already being felt around the globe. If the seas are to nourish future generations they must be managed far more sustainably and protected from destructive threats like pollution. (Read more about fisheries in our oceans coverage of Rio+20.)
Earth's surging population is likely to make our food problems even more acute. It's projected that two billion more people will need to be fed by the year 2050, raising the specter of more food crises like the one that struck in 2007 and 2008. In those years, spiking demand led to rising grain prices, bad weather and poor harvests depleted supplies, and rising oil prices made it more expensive to grow food—and consequently to buy it.
Prices in some countries rose a staggering 75 percent from 2006 levels, and 115 million people joined the ranks of the chronically hungry, according to UN estimates. Developing nations bore the brunt of the disaster, particularly across Africa, and food riots and political unrest appeared around the world in places like Bangladesh, Haiti, Tajikistan, and Yemen. The poor, already the hungriest, are hardest hit by such events.
"Unfortunately, right now our way of using natural resources to feed the world and to promote the current living standards is not sustainable," Fan said. "Because water will be limited, energy will be more expensive, and the climate will be hotter. If we don't do something, I guarantee we'll have more food crises and more severe food crises."
For all the potential improvements in food production methods, Fan stressed, consumption patterns must also change.
"In the United States and Europe we are eating too much meat, and the consumption of meat really exhausts natural resources," he said. "Emerging economies like China and Brazil are picking up their meat consumption, and they account for perhaps 30 percent of the world's population. We simply don't have enough natural resources for them to follow our consumption patterns."
Fortunately, the path toward a more sustainable future can also provide more immediate help for those who need it most—and that's the challenge for Rio+20, Fan said.
"There are many opportunities where we can really promote policies, strategies, and investments that will improve food security and at the same time cut the use of natural resources by using them more efficiently," he said. "These goals aren't at cross-purposes; there is a synergy here we can use to our advantage."

The Security and Defence Agenda (SDA), a security and defence think-tank, has announced the findings from the first ever Security Jam, a global on-line brainstorming session on the challenges facing global security. The SDA report titled The New Global Security Landscape: 10 Recommendations from the 2010 Security Jam outlines recommendations from the February Security Jam, which brought together nearly 4,000 military, diplomatic, and civilian experts from 124 countries.
Among the top recommendations were:
- Establish a European Intelligence Agency to serve as an information broker to monitor and provide early warning on complex and hybrid security threats, including environmental change and cyber attacks.
- Create a civilian unit within NATO to handle the non-military aspects of operations, including planning and coordinating activities involving civilian experts, such as police, judges, and others.
- Recommend a set of security goals to the United Nations (UN), comparable to the UN Millennium Development Goals, to protect human security.
- Considering the growing interdependence of nations, expand NATO and EU regional security through mutual assistance agreements with neighboring states that will build mutual trust.
- Expand the EU's public diplomacy and use of new media to enable greater collaboration, interaction, and dialogue with a global security community, including security experts, business leaders and academics, on important issues and policy initiatives.
- Establish a European Security Academy that will train EU civilian and military staffs and other international parties to work together and help improve collaboration in the field.
- Form a combined EU-NATO advisory group made up of senior military and political authorities to evaluate current approaches to capability planning and promote cross-border collaboration.
- Develop an inventory of scarce natural resources within the EU, with a mandate to protect them for future generations.
- Publish a joint EU-NATO quarterly journal through which senior officials from both organizations can highlight new collaborative efforts between the two bodies.
- Establish a UN-managed International Crisis Preparedness Fund that would set aside 5 percent of all donations to crises for future disaster preparedness.

We all know what its like to feel the wrong thing at the wrong time. Boredom when you're meant to be interested (or at least look interested) in that lecture, anxiety when you're meant to be happy with friends, tiredness when you're playing with children, and frustration and stress at work. We all know what it means to feel the wrong thing, and then have to pretend – or display – a different feeling, or even somehow make ourselves feel something altogether different. We call this 'emotion management.'
But how do we manage our emotions? When should we manage them? Should we always try to think happy thoughts – is sadness just bad and troublesome? Or are there social rules about how and when we should do this? Arlie Hochschild suggests that society has 'feeling rules' about how we are allowed to feel in given situations – particularly at work – and that these rules impact differently on men and women, with women still doing the bulk of the 'emotional labour' involved in care jobs in most countries.
Do you manage your emotions most of the time at work? Or in other areas of life? Does your gender affect this?

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
A government document leaked by the Hebrew press on Sunday revealed that
Israel had recently opened a new diplomatic mission in an unnamed
Persian Gulf state.
The document was prepared for the Foreign Ministry as part of its
economic plan for 2013-2014, and was reported on by the left-leaning
daily Ha'aretz.
Israel has in the past operated diplomatic missions in Oman and Qatar,
though both nations closed those offices for fear of appearing
unsympathetic to the "Palestinian cause."
In general, however, the Sunni-dominated Gulf States have moved closer
to Israel in recent years in the shadow of the looming threat of a
nuclear-armed Iran. Numerous media outlets have previously reported that
the Gulf States would be all too happy were Israel to militarily
neutralize Iran's nuclear program.
Earlier this month, it was Qatar's prime minister who sought to breath
new life into the 2002 Arab League Peace Initiative on terms more
friendly toward the Jewish state.

June 21, 1899
Went ashore at about 3:30 P.M. at "Aurell Beach" Yakutat Bay, and made for high ground. At about 200 feet from the shore bird notes began to be heard, russet backed and dwarf Hermit thrushes in predominance. Got up among the leafless alders + willows, + heard the clear notes of the golden cr. sparrow. The songs of all the many lilard (?) here were quite radically different from all those heard at the White Pass. These sang [illus], while those at the Yakutat, with very slight variations as to sharps and flats, sang [illus.]. They were very common, from 200 feet above sea to solid snow.
Found the nest of the Alice's Thrush. It was about 500 feet up, in the alder + willow scrub. The [female] was on the nest when I found it, + remained there till I was about 15 feet from her, so that I could identify her absolutely. When she quietly slid off, the [male], who seemed to be watching her from a distance, began to sing most deliciously the song I heard yesterday + that new song. I absolutely satisfied myself that he was the singer, + his species was unquestionable, as I dis[Page 38] tinctly saw all the diagnostic marks at close range with my glass. His call notes, also, were extremely similar to those of the veery. The nest conained three eggs, fresh, greenish-blue and spotted with dull, dusky spots. not nearly as reddish as the olive-backs. It was made almost entirely out of moss, with a basis of grasses placed at the crossing of two willow stems, almost 1-1/2 inches in diameter, abut 8 feet from the ground.
The Townsend's sparrows were very common + extremely susceptible to "chirping" in the thick alder covering. 3 or 4 at a time would be in sight, near by, vigorously chucking or cheeping, those at a short distance singing their full rich song. A few linnets (red-polls) appears at the call, circling high, like cross-bills, (chet, shet, sherrrr --do-) suddenly swinging down to a little brush near-by. A big bird, that I at first took for a [female] mallard, from the nasal wok-wok-wok it uttered showed its head between the alder stalks , so I cautiously worked my way to within range + succeeded in shooting it. It turned out to be a fine [male] willow Ptarmigan, in nearly perfect summer plumage. There were lots of little scratched out clearings under the alders, with scattered white feathers lying around [Page 39] where the birds, which were very numerous, had been preening out the old feathers.
Pipits were heard, but I didn't see any positively.
Ridgway came from Yakutat with 5 Kodiak Pine Grosbeaks, and Fisher, from the west side of same bay brought in 4 parasitic and one fine old pomarine jaeger. He got a Pinicola at Yakutat village this afternoon. (June 21st)
Yesterday, in Yakutat harbor, Arctic Terns were for the first time seen. They were numerous, and their "screeing" note is similar to that of the roseate's, as I remember it, and also somewhat vaguely suggests the screaming note of the bluejay. They were diving for fish in the harbor, in company with the short-billed gulls (2 or 3 seen at a time but not so numerous by 1/10 as the terns) which had apparently as little trouble diving as the terns did. The gulls would slip into the water, at a very straight angle [illus], and disappear entirely. When they emerged, a second, perhaps, after they had gone under, the wings tips would show first, about 8 to 10 inches apart, and then the birds would wedge themselves out very prettily. The gulls would sometimes chase the terns away. The Yakutat Song Sparrow (new) was singing about the village, where I got one, + R.R. got a series of 10. Townsend's S. was also [Page 40] common.
The thrush I first mistook for some veery, then decided as the Russet Back, and found the nest of, has turned out to be Alice's Thrush (Hylocichla aliciae) we having left the range of the Russet Back at Sitka. This explains the difference in the song.

Mike Nagatani's Attention-Getting F-100
As soon as Mike pulled into the shopping center parking lot, his '68 Ford F-100 was drawing onlookers like ants to a dropped Popsicle. Even behind the grocery store loading docks, where we photographed the engine compartment, people found us-as if drawn by some sixth-sense perception that something cool was hiding back there. And down at the beach, where the rest of the photos were taken, more curious bystanders stopped to admire the pickup. Mike's used to the attention and doesn't mind answering questions about the Viper Red truck he spent three years building.
When Mike Nagatani got started in this hobby 25 years ago, he was a teenager building VW Bugs. His taste hasn't changed-just expanded to include custom classic trucks. He picked up this Ford more than 10 years ago from one of his neighbors who had always intended to hot rod it (you know the story about good intentions). Maybe the neighbor was making excuses or maybe he was trying to persuade Mike to do the work he never got around to doing. In any case, Mike had no big interest in building the F-100 into anything other than a cool work truck. The truck he really wanted to hot rod was his '35 Dodge pickup. That was his dream truck; the F-100 was his utility vehicle, used for chores like hauling dirt and moving friends' furniture. "What any good longbed truck does," he explained.
"All that changed when I saw a concept drawing of a '68 Styleside lowered with a set of nice big wheels," Mike continued. "At that moment, I told myself that I was going to hot rod this thing."
The initial few changes were cosmetic. The first was to lower the truck, adding a dropped front I-beam axle from AIM Industries, and Koni shocks. Then came the shaved door handles, followed by molding the cowl into the front fenders and shaving the driprails. Of course the rear tailgate had to be smoothed and the dash had to be cleaned up.
"One body modification led to another. After a year of working on the body and realizing all the work being done, I knew I had to take it off the frame."
It wasn't until that point that Mike started to understand that this project was getting bigger than he'd planned-and that a lot of the street rod style modifications that he had been planning for his Dodge were going to end up on the Ford.
Mike limited the sheetmetal work to the type of body mods that enhanced what was already there, instead of camouflaging it. In addition to the changes already mentioned, he eliminated the emblems and trim and hid the gas tank filler tube. The cowl vents were filled and the hood was pancaked and reshaped to roll into the fenders and grille area more smoothly.
In the rear, the bumper was removed and replaced with sheetmetal below the tailgate, which was filled in with the sides of the bed. Seams and stake holes were also filled and the concave tailgate was reshaped to finish off the rear as one clean smooth piece.
Mike redid the floor of the bed with custom red oak, which complements the PPG Viper Red paint shot by Ramon Gonzalez at ACM Body and Paint in Escondido.
With the body and bed off the frame, the 'rails were modified to fit the 20-gallon Mustang gas tank, and-along with many of the other chassis components-were powdercoated to match the body. The brake lines were all remade using the existing lines and the front brakes were replaced with '73 discs, with the drums retained in the rear. The wheelwells were packed with Coys C-5 rims, a contemporary interpretation of traditional five-spokes. Mike selected 18x7s for the front and 20×8.5s for the rear, and wrapped them in P245/45R18 and P275/40R20 Nexen radial tires.
The interior was given a complete, but not radical, rebuild as well. Mike pulled the dashpad and filled the passenger side of the dash. He replaced the plain factory instruments with whiteface gauges from Dolphin. The dash insert from Boese Engineering fills the oval instrument panel. A Grant Formula GT steering wheel replaces the original piece and follows the overall red theme. Custom door panels were made, keeping the factory look. Mike created the custom armrests, hand-sculpted to resemble the exterior spear. The Sony stereo head unit was mounted overhead in the custom aluminum headliner. Even the stock-looking rocker panels are custom built. The factory bench was finished in red and gray vinyl by Morales Auto Upholstery.
It's not true that the truck was painted to match the MSD Blaster 2 coil and plug wires, it just looks that way. The '68 Ford 390 had been recently rebuilt when Mike bought the truck. The intake manifold is topped with a single Holley four-barrel and chrome Ford Racing air cleaner. The 390 is linked to the C6 automatic transmission, rebuilt at San Marcos Transmissions, with a stock 9-inch at the rear axle.
In addition to everything you can see on Mike's F-100, you've got to appreciate the fact that he was able to keep his start-to-finish build budget to a thrifty $15,000. He kept the costs down by doing almost all of the work himself-but adds that he got a whole lot of support from his wife, Theresa, and their kids, Michael and Krysta. The forum members at Fordification.com provided answers and advice, and Mike credits his friend Tim Pokorski from T&M Automotive in Omaha for teaching him a lot about building a custom classic truck.
Remember the '35 Dodge that was Mike's dream truck? His initial reason for giving any attention to the Ford was to sell it after it was fixed up, and pour that money into the Dodge (the good intentions story again). "I finally sold it last year when I realized that the '68 was really going to be something cool," Mike told us. Maybe the Dodge is getting some attention now in somebody else's garage. But it's Mike's red-hot F-100 that's getting the attention around here.

What's the Diff: Cholesterol and Saturated Fat
What's the Diff: Cholesterol and Saturated Fat
This whole business with saturated fat and cholesterol is totally confusing, so let me try and clear things up.
Blood cholesterol refers to your cholesterol level - you know - the numbers you get from your doctor when you get your cholesterol checked. Your total cholesterol should be less than 200 mg/dL -- HDL (good) cholesterol level should be 40mg/dL or greater and LDL (bad) cholesterol should be 130 mg/dL or less.
Cholesterol is a waxy substance made by the liver and it's used by the body to make hormones, vitamin D, and other materials. It is essential to your body to function normally, and your body makes enough.
You can also get cholesterol from the food you eat, called dietary cholesterol. It's only found in animal products such as meat, poultry, seafood, eggs and dairy. It is especially high in egg yolks and organ meats such as liver, brains and kidneys.
If you get too much dietary cholesterol (over 300mg a day) the extra cholesterol will accumulate in the walls of the blood vessels, making your LDL (bad) blood cholesterol levels rise. Over time, your arteries will become narrower, which can cut off the blood supply to your heart (causing a heart attack), or your brain (causing a stroke).
Saturated Fat is not essential to your body. It is found mainly in animal products such as meat, poultry, and dairy. All of these foods also contain dietary cholesterol. Palm oil, palm kernel oil, and coconut oil also contain saturated fats. Unfortunately, a lot of processed foods like cookies and crackers contain these oils. Saturated fats raise LDL (bad) cholesterol levels more than dietary cholesterol itself, so they're the ones to watch out for. The RDI of saturated fat is 20g or less.
Fit's Tips: The amount of cholesterol found in foods is not as important as the amount of saturated fat. So check labels - on the box it may say "No Cholesterol," but if you check the nutritional info, it may still contain saturated fat from those hidden oils. Aren't companies so trustworthy?

We are 'The Walking Dead'
Zombies are all the rage right now in entertainment. I am not immune to the draw of the zombie-pocalypse storylines as I count myself a fan of AMC's The Walking Dead. But as I have been consumed by stories of human survival against impossible odds these past 3+ seasons now, there's one thought I can't get out of my head. Without God, we are "The Walking Dead" — allow me to explain.

Concepts like Friederich Nietzsche and his philosophy of existentialism can be difficult to understand. Reddit knows this, which is why they're explaining what it's all about in the simplest terms and ways possible in the first episode of their new web series called 'Explain Like I'm Five.' I think it's clear what they intend to do from the title of the series itself.
If you frequent the site, there's a subreddit of the same name that exists with the same concept as the series. Essentially, complex topics are tackled and discussed in such a way that even five-year-olds could understand. At least, that's what they hope to do, in theory.

Highly recommend the work of Eric Fan!!!
I paint in watercolours for the most part, but enjoy trying new things like batik, acrylics and alcohol inks, gravitating toward the natural world for my subject matter. I enjoy painting landscapes and still life but find that birds, animals and people, with their winning ways, inspire my work.

Drake's Father Explains Why His Son Is So Musically Gifted
Drake's knack for making hot beats and rhymes is the result of being a chip off the old block. You see, Drizzy's dad is Dennis Graham, a former drummer for rock 'n' roll piano king Jerry Lee Lewis. So the musical apple didn't fall so far from the tree.
TMZ caught up with Mr. Graham outside of Mastro's Steakhouse in Beverly Hills, Calif., where he and his son were having dinner, and he broke down how his son became so musically inclined. "I have pictures of Drake when he was a kid in my lap — as a baby — and I was teaching him how to play piano," he explained. "Even when he was in his mother's womb, I used to play piano and she would sit there and listen to it."
"He felt it. He really felt it," he continued, suggesting that by him playing the piano, it stimulated his son to enjoy and perform music.
As Drake tried to avoid the nagging paparazzi, he was asked if he and his father would ever do a duet together. "Yeah, it's possible," he quipped.
Another musical footnote to add to this story is that Drake's uncles are legendary guitarist Larry Graham of 1970s funk band Graham Central Station and Teenie Hodges, a guitarist and songwriter for soul crooner Al Green.
So if you every wonder how Drake became such a musical prodigy — it's in his genes.

Never miss another 'Mark Steel' show
Every Little Things Gonna Be Alright: Mark Steel
This is a repeat of the show Mark brought to the venue in March, returning for those who missed it first time round.
This time last year, it seemed highly unlikely the UK would vote to leave the EU; we had a reasonable opposition to the Tory Government; Donald Trump was a buffoon who surely wasn't going to beat Hilary Clinton and Mark was living the married suburban ideal, a year later it's all gone to absolute sh**! But don't worry, as Mark thinks Every Little Thing's Gonna Be Alright.
Mark's sell-out show Who Do I Think I Am, revealed his natural father was a world backgammon champion. Now the star of Radio 4's Mark Steel's in Town, and newspaper columnist of the year, is back on the road with a new show, guaranteed to make the world seem even more mental than it is.
Mark Steel
A heavyweight political comedian of a Marxist slant, Mark Steel has performed as a stand-up comedian on the British comedy circuit and on national tours since the '80s.
He has also written and performed The Mark Steel Solution and The Mark Steel Lecture for Radio 4, hosted Radio 5's Extra Time and produced the best selling book Reasons to be Cheerful. He writes a weekly column for The Independent for which he won Columnist of the Year at the Press Awards in 2015.
'He's a man with a passionate desire to communicate his ideas, who is also very funny' (The Guardian).
Mark Steel was placed in Ents24's top 5 hardest-working comedians 2016.

Robert Millot was the son of Jean Millot and Adélaid Robert who were married in the same church on September 25. 1830. Jean was a "cordonnier" - a shoemaker. Jean Millot was the son of Joseph Marie Millot and Catherine Wilcott. The story of Robert Mylott's grandparents is here.
Jean Millot and Adelaid Robert did not emigrate to Whitehall with their son - at least not permanently, but they did leave Vercheres. Their death records can be found in the church records of St Jacques le Mineur, south of Montreal and a few miles north of the US - Canadian border in the high Richelieu River Valley in.

Lazy initialization is a performance optimization. It's used when data is deemed to be 'expensive' for some reason. For example:
- if the hashCode value for an object might not actually be needed by its caller, always calculating the hashCode for all instances of the object may be felt to be unnecessary.
- since accessing a file system or network is relatively slow, such operations should be put off until they are absolutely required.
- delay an expensive operation until it's absolutely necessary
- store the result of that expensive operation, such that you won't need to repeat it again
As usual, the size of any performance gain, if any, is highly dependent on the problem, and in many cases may not be significant. As with any optimization, this technique should be used only if there is a clear and significant benefit.
To avoid a NullPointerException, a class must self-encapsulate fields that have lazy initialization. That is, a class cannot referdirectly to such fields, but must access them through a method.
The hashCode method of an immutable Model Object is a common candidate for lazy initialization.
Example 1
In this example, there are two fields with lazy initialization - fHashCode and fAwards.
import java.util.*; public final class Athlete { public Athlete(int aId){ //a toy implementation: fId = aId; fName = "Roger Bannister"; //fAwards is not set here! } //..elided /** Lazy initialization is used here; this assumes that awards may not always be of interest to the caller, and that for some reason it is particularly expensive to fetch the List of Awards. */ public List getAwards(){ if ( fAwards == null ) { //the fAwards field has not yet been populated //Here is a toy implementation List<String> awards = new ArrayList<String>(); awards.add( "Gold Medal 2006" ); awards.add( "Bronze Medal 1998" ); fAwards = awards; } return fAwards; } /** This style applies only if the object is immutable. Another alternative is to calculate the hashCode once, when the object is initially constructed (again, applies only when object is immutable). */ @Override public int hashCode(){ if ( fHashCode == 0 ) { fHashCode = HashCodeUtil.SEED; fHashCode = HashCodeUtil.hash(fHashCode, fId); fHashCode = HashCodeUtil.hash(fHashCode, fName); //self-encapusulated: fAwards is not referenced directly, //since it may be null: fHashCode = HashCodeUtil.hash(fHashCode, getAwards()); } return fHashCode; } // PRIVATE // private int fId; private String fName; private List<String> fAwards; private int fHashCode; }
Example 2Here, the look up of the printers available to a desktop PC is treated as an expensive operation.import java.util.Arrays; import java.util.List; import javax.print.DocFlavor; import javax.print.PrintService; import javax.print.PrintServiceLookup; import javax.print.attribute.HashPrintRequestAttributeSet; import javax.print.attribute.PrintRequestAttributeSet; import javax.print.attribute.standard.OrientationRequested; import javax.print.attribute.standard.Sides; /** Printing services available to a desktop client. */ public final class Printers { /** Print some plain text (perhaps internally converted to PDF). */ void printSomething(String aText, PrintService aPrinter) { //...elided } /** Return the list of printers that can print PDFs (double-sided, portrait).*/ List<PrintService> listAvailablePrinters(){ if(fAvailablePrinters == null){ //double-sided, portrait, for PDF files. PrintRequestAttributeSet attrs = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet(); attrs.add(Sides.DUPLEX); attrs.add(OrientationRequested.PORTRAIT); //Expensive operation! This can take several seconds in some environments: fAvailablePrinters = Arrays.asList( PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.PDF, attrs) ); } return fAvailablePrinters; } // PRIVATE /** Looked up once, the first time it's needed, and then stored using a static reference. If it was a non-static reference, then the list of available printers would not be looked up just once, but perhaps many times (once per 'Printers' object, and not once per loaded 'Printers' class). Self-encapsulate : If this class's implementation needs to reference this item, it must do so indirectly, by calling listAvailablePrinters(). */ private static List<PrintService> fAvailablePrinters; }Example 3
Lazy initialization is particularly useful for GUIs which take a long time to construct.There are several policies for GUI construction which a design may follow:
- always build - construct the window many times, whenever it is demanded, and do not cache the result.

A View From Studio 3: Lackey back in Series
Think the San Antonio Spurs or New England Patriots or Detroit Red Wings -- perennial contenders and multiple-time champions in the past decade or so, teams that have come to represent greatness in their respective sport despite player turnover and the ever-changing economic landscape.
The St. Louis Cardinals and Boston Red Sox are baseball's current representatives on that list. They fit right into that elite category.View Full Game Coverage
Think the San Antonio Spurs or New England Patriots or Detroit Red Wings -- perennial contenders and multiple-time champions in the past decade or so, teams that have come to represent greatness in their respective sport despite player turnover and the ever-changing economic landscape.
The St. Louis Cardinals and Boston Red Sox are baseball's current representatives on that list. They fit right into that elite category.View Full Game Coverage
To put into context just how competitive these two franchises have been over the past 10 seasons, consider this. The Cardinals are playing in their fourth Fall Classic in the past 10 years, the Red Sox in their third.
There are 13 franchises (nearly half of Major League Baseball) that have not appeared in more than two World Series in their entire histories The Blue Jays, Royals, Rangers, Marlins and Padres have made two Fall Classic appearances each, the Rays, Angels, Astros, Brewers, D-Backs and Rockies have gone to one World Series each, and the Mariners and Nationals have yet to make it to the final dance.
It was 11 years ago when the Angels appeared in their first -- and thus far only -- Fall Classic in an epic series against the San Francisco Giants that went the distance. The starting and winning pitcher for the Halos in the deciding Game 7 was John Lackey, a 24-year-old right-hander from Abilene, Texas. As a rookie, Lackey reached the top of the baseball world. In short order, he earned a reputation as a "gamer" with a chip on his shoulder.
Eleven years later, Lackey is back on the grand stage, pitching as a 35-year-old veteran for a different team, a different fan base and with a whole new perspective. Before his Game 2 start against the Cardinals (airing on FOX beginning at 7:30 p.m. ET, first pitch at 8:07 p.m.), Lackey reflected on the 2002 World Series and admitted there is not much he learned then that he can use now. But Lackey did say the "main thing is you realize how hard it is to get here.
"Been chasing it a while, and you probably appreciate it more now this time than you do as a rookie, that sort of thing."
Coincidentally, Lackey will be opposing a rookie this evening in 22-year-old Cardinals right-hander Michael Wacha -- a young man who taken the baseball world by storm with his performance and poise on the big stage.
Pressed on the major difference between pitching in a game of this magnitude as a youngster versus as a veteran, Lackey pointed out that he was a two-pitch pitcher back in 2002. Now, he has more options, more ways to get hitters out.
Recently, the 6-foot-6 Lackey has been pitching his best baseball since arriving in Boston in 2010, a stint that's included injury and frustration -- two topics Lackey was not willing to delve into as he prepared for Thursday's game. But he's heading into his first career matchup against the Cardinals with the confidence that comes from having outdueled Justin Verlander in Game 3 of the American League Championship Series by throwing 6 2/3 innings of shutout ball in a 1-0 victory.
So, given his history, how does Lackey feel about being labeled a "big-game pitcher?"
"I guess it's better that they say that than not, "said Lackey. "You know it's a big game. There's no running from that, and it's something you've got to embrace. It's something you've got to enjoy and just really focus on executing pitches. Because once you get between the lines, it's all about throwing the ball where you want to throw it [just like] in the other 162 [regular-season] games."
If Lackey does his job Thursday at Fenway, his Red Sox could win their 10th consecutive World Series game. The Yankees are the only franchise to accomplish that feat. They've done it on three different occasions, most recently rattling off 14 in a row between from 1996-2000.
Former pitcher, catcher match wits in Series
The managerial matchup in this World Series is quite unusual. It's been a half-century since we've seen a former Major League catcher match wits with a former Major League pitcher in the World Series.
On a hunch, and with the help of the MLB Network research staff, we came up with this: It last happened in 1961, when Fred Hutchinson, the skipper of the Reds, faced off against Ralph Houk's Yankees.
Houk's entire big league career, spanning just 89 games over eight seasons, was as a catcher. Hutchinson went 95-71 in his 10-year career with the Tigers, posting a 3.73 ERA.
Houk's Yankees defeated Hutchinson's Reds, four games to one, in the 1961 Fall Classic.

"I, Frankenstein," the only new wide-release movie in theaters over the weekend, posted less-than-monstrous results that failed to instill any fear in holdovers "Ride Along" and "Lone Survivor."
The 3D horror-action hybrid, starring a muscular Aaron Eckhart as Victor Frankenstein's monster, grossed an estimated $8.3 million in ticket sales in the U.S. and Canada, coming in below expectations for a sixth-place finish.
Distributed by Lionsgate and produced by Lakeshore Entertainment and Hopscotch Features, the re-imagining of Mary Shelley's 19th-century novel cost about $65 million to make.
PHOTOS: Biggest Box Office Flops of 2013
"I, Frankenstein" -- adapted from Kevin Grevioux's graphic novel by writer-director Stuart Beattie -- takes place in an alternate present-day universe where demons and gargoyles battle for domination, with Dr. Frankenstein's creation caught in the struggle.
It was a flop with critics, as evidenced by a 5% "fresh" rating from Rotten Tomatoes. Moviegoers who saw it were more receptive and gave the PG-13 film a grade of B, according to the polling firm CinemaScore.
"Ride Along," the Universal Pictures buddy-comedy with Kevin Hart and Ice Cube, easily held the top spot at the box office with $21.2 million in ticket sales. That comes a week after "Ride Along" scored the biggest January opening ever, not accounting for inflation. It has taken in $75.4 million so far domestically.
The Mark Wahlberg military action saga "Lone Survivor" was again the second-highest grossing film, with $12.6 million. After three weekends in wide release, the movie about an ill-fated Navy SEAL mission in Afghanistan has taken in an estimated $93.6 million.
It's been a strong start to the new year for Universal, which, if estimates hold, has boasted the top two movies for two weekends in a row, a rare feat for a studio.
PHOTOS: The Billion Dollar Box Office Club
Animated fare also performed well on the quiet weekend. "The Nut Job," a 3D animated critter comedy distributed by Open Road Films, gathered $12.3 million for a third place finish, representing a 37% drop from its debut last weekend. A sequel is planned for 2016. Disney's "Frozen" landed in fourth place with a little more than $9 million, down a mere 23% week-to-week. Its worldwide tally has now exceeded $800 million, including $348 million from the U.S. and Canada.
Paramount Pictures' "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit" grossed $8.8 million, bringing the cumulative domestic take to $30.2 million for the Tom Clancy character reboot that cost $60 million to produce.
Oscar contenders held strong. The gross for "American Hustle," nominated for 10 Academy Awards, fell just 28% from last weekend to $7.1 million, while the twice-nominated Weinstein Co.'s "August: Osage County" took in about $5 million, down 32%. "The Wolf of Wall Street" also secured about $5 million, bringing its domestic take close to the $100-million mark.
In 10th place was the low-budget "Rosemary's Baby"-style horror film "Devil's Due" with $2.75 million.

Harry Dean Stanton, the legendary character-actor who's appeared in countless Hollywood productions, passed away on September 15th at the age of 91. Stanton got his start taking small roles in television productions like Bonanza, Rawhide, The Fugitive, and Gunsmoke in the 1950s and '60s. He has since appeared in more than 100 films, including Cool Hand Luke, Kelly's Heros, The Godfather Part II, Alien, Escape From New York, Repo Man, Pretty in Pink, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and The Green Mile. Now fans will have one more chance to see him in his first (and last) leading role since 1984's Paris, Texas in what should prove to be a touching tribute.
Lucky is a drama from actor-turned-director John Carrol Lynch (Gran Torino, The Founder) that follows Lucky, a chain-smoking atheist and World War II veteran who must come to grips with his own mortality. The script comes from screenwriters Logan Sparks and Drago Sumonja, and reunites Stanton with Twin Peaks creator David Lynch. Also appearing in the film are actors Ron Livingston (Office Space, Band of Brothers), Tom Skerritt (Top Gun, Steel Magnolias), James Darren (Gidget, The Guns of Navarone), and Yvonne Huff. Check your local listings for showings in your area, and if you're not in the mood for killer clowns or Tom Cruise, make this one your go-to for the weekend. And of course, rest in peace Mr. Stanton!

Internet providers Shawnee OK – Broadband Satellite Internet Services
The internet has become a household necessity. The changing world in Shawnee OK requires internet providers to offer faster and faster internet download and upload speeds. Gone are the days of dial-up service. Shawnee OK internet providers must meet the demands of consumers. Streaming HD content is becoming more and more common in Shawnee.

Shawnee Oklahoma Cable Broadband & DSL broadband internet providers

Satellite is now offering blazing fast internet in Shawnee of up to12mbps. The internet providers have evolved to keep up with the bandwidth demands from their Shawnee OK internet customers.
The main advantage of a satellite provider is the access it affords homeowners in areas where DSL or cable broadband is not available. There is a vast area in rural America that depends on satellite for their internet needs. The new technology that is just being offered will enable these rural OK homes to enjoy the speeds previously limited to city dwelling DSL and Cable Broadband subscribers. As technology marches on, who knows, maybe there will be a internet satellite on homes in denser populated areas similar to the satellite TV expansion we have seen in the last 10 years.
DSL Internet Providers in Shawnee OK
Shawnee OK phone based DSL broadband is typically the least expensive of all the broadband internet providers. Speeds range from 1.5Mbps to 6Mbps depending on the distance from the ISP.

DSL can be a pretty neat alternative to Cable, as the price for internet service can be a little cheaper.

i will be renting a house in the Palm Springs/Palm Desert area next year. i am a trail runner from BC. I like to run 15-20 km routes, easy to moderate difficulty.
i am interested in some locals views on what neighbourhood I should rent in that would give me convenient access to a good range of trails.
I don't mind driving to the trail head, but it would be nice to minimize my driving time.
thank you.

Stenographer dragged off House floor after protest
A House of Representatives stenographer was dragged off the floor during the vote to end the partial government shutdown and raise the U.S. debt ceiling after a bizarre protest in which she began ranting at members.
Fox News identified the stenographer as Dianne Reidy, who went to the Speaker's Chair while the vote was in progress and said, "Praise be to God Jesus Christ." She also appeared to make references to America not being one nation under God because "Freemasons" wrote the Constitution. She also seemed to say something about a "house divided."
A woman tried to calm Reidy as others summoned police.
Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla., the presiding officer, banged the gavel to restore order several times, but did not deter Reidy, who screamed "You cannot serve two masters" as she was removed from the floor.
LISTEN: House stenographer makes bizarre protest (Courtesy Todd Zwillich)
According to Ros-Lehtinen, Reidy "came up to the podium area beneath where I was standing and asked me if the microphones were on. I said that I didn't know. I assumed that perhaps I was chatting too much to the helpful parliamentarians around me. Then she suddenly faced the front and said words like 'Thus spoke the Lord.' And, 'This is not the Lord's work.'
"I hammered to get control and hush her up. She said something about the devil. It was sudden, confusing and heartbreaking. She is normally a gentle soul."
Reidy was questioned by U.S. Capitol Police after her removal from the floor and was later taken to a local hospital for a mental health evaluation. It was not immediately clear whether criminal charges would be filed.
The disruption stunned members of Congress already jumpy after two weeks of partisan invective over the partial government shutdown and Thursday's debt ceiling deadline.
Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-Texas, told Fox News, "You have a lot of members who are concerned about who is allowed on the floor when something like that happens."
Fox News' Chad Pergram and Nicholas Kalman contributed to this report.
