The phone goes. Saturday afternoon. "We can make it after all" they say. There's always someone who changes their mind at the last minute.
So you've made the terrine for your dinner party and now you have to get 10 pieces out of it when really you were pushing it just to get 8 - what are you to do? Get the knife sharpener.
1 - Place your terrine in the freezer till the edges are just a little firm. This makes it much easier - you are cutting something solid instead of jelly. Don't leave it in too long or you will be trying to cut through an ice cube.
2 - Fill a jug with hot water. First off you want to sit your knife in the water till it's warm. The hot knife will slice through the slighly frozen terrine much more easily. When you've made your first slice, dip the knife back in the water. Clean the blade - this will stop any debris catching while you are slicing so your terrine is much less likely to fall apart while you are slicing.
3 - After you have all your slices, dip the knife in the hot water again and run it flat over the top of each slice to smooth it off and leave a good finish.

CHILLICOTHE — Keeping alive its bid for a South Central Ohio League championship, the Wilmington High School baseball team dispatched Chillicothe 9-2 Thursday night in an SCOL road game.
The Hurricane is 13-7 overall and 12-1 in the league. Clinton-Massie also has one league loss. The two teams will meet 4 p.m. Sunday at Paul Schwamberger Field to decide the league champion.
Wilmington will play a doubleheader beginning at 11 a.m. Saturday at home against Winton Woods. Military veterans are being honored before the game and are being offered a free lunch in between games.
Brady McCune had his second five-hit game of the season, collecting five singles off the Cavaliers pitching staff.
"Infield hits, ground balls … his last time up he blooped one over the infield," WHS head coach Rick Kneisel said. "He's just finding the right places right now."
McCune scored three times and drove in a run for the Hurricane.
Chris Wolary got Wilmington off on the right foot Thursday with a two-run double over the leftfielder's head in the first inning. He finished with three RBI. Wolary was intentionally walked twice.
Marlyn Frisco had three hits, scored a run and stole three bases. Stephen Krause had a hit and drove in a run as did Chad Davis.
Jordan Ianson, despite walking seven, picked up the win on the mound. He took a no-hitter into the fifth inning. He struck out three and gave up three hits.
McCune finished the game, pitching the final inning. He walked the first two batters and eventually CHS loaded the bases with one out. But a line drive to Krause at short stop started a "6-unassisted" double play to end the game and give the Hurricane the victory.

Josh. 9:1-12:24
Word of the Israelites' conquest of Jericho and Ai spread rapidly. A group of kings formed an alliance to fight Joshua and Israel. However, the people of Gibeon had other ideas. By claiming to be from a far country, they deceived Joshua and his men into swearing an oath that they would let them live in peace. When the truth became known three days later, they were made slaves to the house of God. The Gibeonites considered that to be a small price to pay for having saved their lives.
A group of five Amorite kings became disturbed because of the size and strength of the Gibeonites. They combined forces to attack Gibeon. Again, God was with the Israelites as they destroyed all the inhabitants of those cities. In an unusual request from a man, Joshua, God stopped the sun and moon from moving for about a whole day while the people engaged in that battle.
Joshua and his army continued in their conquest until they had conquered the entire southern portion of Canaan. "So Joshua conquered all the land: the mountain country and the South…because the Lord God of Israel fought for Israel." They then returned to the camp at Gilgal.
It seems that the kings of the cities in Canaan "just didn't get it." They saw how the Israelites, with the help of God had conquered everything before them. Alliances had not worked before, but Jabin, king of Hazor sent to the kings of the remaining cities. They came together in camp to fight against Israel. Their armies included more men than could be counted because of their multitude and "very many horses and chariots."
No problem. The Lord said to Joshua, "Do not be afraid because of them…" Joshua led the surprise attack against the armies and when the war was finally over, all of the kings and their cities had been destroyed. That concluded the initial quest for the Promised Land. More battles would be fought later after the tribes had settled. "Then the land rested from war."
There had been two kings, Sihon and Og defeated by Moses as the children of Israel prepared to enter the Promised Land. Those lands on the eastern side of the Jordan River had been delivered to the tribes of Reuben, Gad and half of Manasseh. God leading Joshua and his armies had defeated thirty-one additional kings on the west side of the Jordan.

Drawing inspiration from the ever-changing landscape of the Russian capital and the post Soviet Union era, street culture in Moscow and other major cities in the Eastern country is absolutely thriving. The Russian streetwear scene does not stand still and while the majority of people still only know about the designer that really put Russia on the streetwear map, Gosha Rubchinskiy, there are now up and coming streetwear brands popping up everywhere from Moscow to Saint-Petersburg. Check out our compilation of Russian streetwear brands for expanding your knowledge of the Eastern streetwear scene.SHOP BAT NORTON
Bat Norton is a Saint-Petersburg based streetwear label produced by Dmitriy Muzyka and Valeriy Dubrov. In 2009, the duo decided to volunteer in France for the restoration of a church. This trip affected the brand's future name because they met a Batiste Norton there. This guy truly influenced the designers with his attitude to life and fighting spirit, so they set up the name and the brand began the production of clothing lines for ghetto-gothic and cyber punks looks. The latest Bat Norten SS19 drop is inspired by the aesthetic of high technologies, where most of the items have reflective details or on trend neon colors.SHOP OUTLAW MOSCOW
Headed up by Di Minrakhmanova and Maxim Bashkaev, the Outlaw Moscow brand grew internationally pretty rapidly. The main idea behind their project is an expression of youth, which is free, open to world, and fight isolation by standing out from the crowd through their clothes. Despite the fact that the duo's style changes all the time, every their new drop delivers a certain message to every person.
Outlaw Moscow's biggest collaboration was with PUMA back in 2018. The collection which included bomber jackets, tracksuits, accessories and a double-sided kimono. The main stand out piece of the release was Trailfox Graphic sneakers which sold out pretty quickly.SHOP TURBO YULIA
Turbo Yulia is a Moscow based brand, which is inspired by digital reality and futuristic dystopia. The founder of the brand, Yulia Makarova, attained a technology and design degree, and after two years she represented her first collection at Aurora Fashion Week 2013. In both 2016 and 2018, the designer represented new collections at MBFW. Makarova prefers to have a stand out effect in her collections, and it can be seen from her clothing lines. There are a lot of items made up from shimmering materials, sheer fabrics, 3D effects or reflective details and so on. Her latest Spring 2018 collection was full of workwear pieces such as a windbreakers, uniform overalls, and oilskin jackets.SHOP SPUTNIK 1985
The man from Belarus, Sergei Pahotin, was determined to change his life completely and moved to another country. Although the future owner of Спутник 1985 started producing T-shirts at his friends' house, nowadays he has his own workshop. Why did he choose this brand's name? The answer is easy: the designer was born in 1985, and Спутник (Sputnik) after the worlds first artificial Earth satellite. The creator of the brand supposes that the major advantage of his clothes is their practicality.
Previous collections consisted of comfy t-shirts, shirts with lengthened sleeves, shorts, hoodies. The majority of the t-shirts and hoodies features printed sayings such as "Going to youth", "I'm worse than you", etc. The colorways of materials is quite simple – red, blue, black, white, and khaki are the only colours which are used for collections.SHOP FUSION
Another Rusian streetwear brand, FUSION, is a team of creative guys from Russia and Ukraine. The clothing label was created in 2012 when one of the designers made a choice to start creating clothes. However, it has changed after four years and now there are three people behind the brand. Each of them has their own responsibilities and takes care only of them, so their work is always done well and on time.
The brand has several clothing lines already. According to the squad, every new collection is their statement about a certain historical moment where they make an interpretation of the mood and motives of that time. For example, their first represented collection was devoted to the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.

You could be forgiven for not knowing it's illegal to skateboard at Hart Plaza on Detroit's riverfront.
After all, with permission from the city of Detroit, the annual Hart Line skateboarding exhibition transforms Hart Plaza into a makeshift skatepark every May with a network of ramps, rails, ledges and custom-built stair sets that attracts elite international skaters and thousands of fans.
The city also made a sensational pitch to host the X Games in May 2013 with skateboarding and BMX demonstrations downtown.
And the few small signs that indicate it's illegal to skateboard, cycle or rollerblade at the park are weather-beaten and difficult to read.
On Thursday morning, four skateboarders who were charged with a misdemeanor count of riding a skateboard, a crime that is punishable by up to 90 days in jail, are headed to trial to make the case that they were cited for merely having their skateboards at the park – not riding them – while they hung out at the Transcending Labor Legacy Monument at Hart Plaza. Without warning, they said, police cited them in what their attorney describes as an overreach of power in a city that has some of the highest violent crime rates in the country. Two of the defendants' friends who were skateboarding pleaded guilty and have been fined and placed on probation.
"A simple warning would have been enough," the four skateboarders' attorney Jordan Zuppke told Motor City Muckraker. "This is a place where people have been skateboarding for decades. People travel from around the country and the world to skateboard at Hart Plaza. Where are the city's priorities?"
Even if they were skateboarding, Zuppke argues, the city's aging, deteriorating signs were out of sight and difficult to read.
"Unless a person, while standing at the Labor Legacy Landmark, had military binoculars and x-ray vision, they would never see that skateboarding is 'prohibited,'" Zuppke said. "This is not reasonable notice and not applicable in this case."
Charged were Stuart Kersten, Michael Waite, Quentin Boyer and Dominic Palarchio, who range in age from 19 to mid-20s and have no criminal records. Three of the four live in Detroit.
Detroit corporation counsel Melvin Butch Hollowell maintains the skateboarders were warned and ignored police, a claim that the skateboarders adamantly deny.
"These individuals named in this complaint were not ticketed solely because they were skateboarding on Hart Plaza, which is prohibited by city code (except during a special event scheduled by the Recreation Department)," Hollowell said in a written statement. "While proper signage may not have been posted at that time, these individuals were directed to stop their activities by a Detroit police officer. They chose to ignore the officer's order, kept skateboarding and that's the reason they were issued a citation. Under ordinary circumstances, officers do not issue a citation without first issuing a warning and giving the individuals an opportunity to comply."
In 2012, responding to complaints about skateboarders damaging public property, the city passed an ordinance banning skateboards, roller-skates, rollerblades and scooters at Hart Plaza.
Despite the ban, neglect has taken the biggest toll on Hart Plaza, where concrete chunks have become dislodged in the park.

I've never done much traveling. I've been to Mexico a few times and to Canada, though I don't remember that. Maybe someday - when the kids are grown and gone. I'm thinking traveling around Europe might be something the kids will decide to do. We knew some young people a while back who packed their backpacks and traveled Europe by rail. It sounded like so much fun and had me wishing I was young and could go along with them. I just never thought of doing anything like that - until they did. Of course, when I was younger, we didn't have the Internet to help plan a trip like that. Having the Internet and being able to look up stuff like France Rail Pass Information and being able to check prices and schedules ahead of time makes planning a trip so much easier - and makes the parents feel more comfortable, too. Rail Shopper explains everything, like which pass to get for going where and lots of other useful tips for traveling by train in Europe. I think it would take a while to read through all this information, and I would love to see a map of the train routes or something a like that because it would help me picture it better.
Wouldn't it be fun to map out a tour of Europe? I'll have to get the kids started planning, and saving.

You just can't keep these Norwegians down. Surely, the band considered themselves "dead" with their previous outing, 2014's Be All End All, but as the title for this new disc (and yes, it is an all-new recording, not a compilation or interim EP) states, the band's death is going to be a very slow process. Which is fine for me, as it seems like they've still got some fire in them.
Fans of the avant-electronic style of the band's previous albums will be happy with this continued approach that feels like a mixture of Arcturus, Ulver, modern Leprous, and Estonia's Forgotten Sunrise. Not surprisingly, fans of those bands will also enjoy this material quite a bit, especially due to the fact that the rock element wasn't forsaken and two axemen are actually featured on the album, providing what I would consider ironically more memorable riffs than I've heard on most of the modern tech-death excursions.
The vocals are hit-and-miss on the record, as there are still a few ham-fisted notions here and there, and Aesgir Hatlen's approach won't be for everyone. That being said, he still manages to hit many of the notes on cuts like "Therapism" and "Scion," which features a duet with a female vocalist who is not mentioned anywhere in the band's line-up. Believe me, I've looked. She's a great vocalist, but has gone largely uncredited for some reason or another.
When the band aren't playing with electronics, they're making melancholic alternative rock not unlike modern Muse. "Last Resort" is a good expression of this, with its depressing melodies and equally passionate vocal outings. Coupled with a tranquil guitar solo, it soon takes off as the unknown female vocalist begins to really belt it out, reminding me of modern Anathema at their strongest. They could have ended the album with a node like this, but it works as a fine high water mark for the recording and is one of the strongest offerings in the band's lengthy career.
In fact, while there are several other solid cuts on the record following it, nothing, in my opinion, really hits harder or sounds even remotely like what was done here. "Poison Enough For Everyone" actually offsets it as the darkest and heaviest track on the disc, while "Building The Ship Of Theseus" brings off a more light-hearted feel.
All in all, I'm not at all displeased with this mixture of electronic rock and synth atmosphere, because it holds actual weight and substance, and that's not just in the vocal outings dispersed throughout the record. Slow Motion Death Sequence is a guitar record after all, unlike several similar outings where the guitar has been shoved to the back or is removed completely in favor of more synth elements.
I feel that this unexpected inclusion makes the record a far more entertaining record than most in this particular gamut and would certainly advise giving it a listen. It may not be the heavier and darker Manes that we know, but this is a sign that the band still have creative juices flowing, and maybe we shouldn't let them die just yet.

Governance - Safer Recruitment
Event Description
This nationally accredited full day 'Safer recruitment' training is suitable for governors and staff of schools/academies involved in the recruitment process. This course is applicable for those who have had no previous training - if you have attended 'Safer recruitment' training within the past 5 years' there is a separate refresher course for those who wish to refresh their accreditation. (Please check if you are unsure)
The principles and actions for safer recruitment derive from the Bichard Inquiry which was formed following the tragic events of the 'Soham case' (2004). The Inquiry's Report highlighted flaws and shortcomings in the recruitment process that allowed Ian Huntley to be employed as a caretaker at Soham Community School. The Bichard Inquiry recommended that all governing boards have members who have been safer recruitment trained and that appointment panels for school leadership posts include at least one governor who has been safer recruitment trained. This course is based on the Safer Recruitment Consortium national programme.
Please note that attendance to the whole day is required in order to achieve accreditation.
The session will:
raise awareness of the Bichard Inquiry Report and the safer recruitment framework
look at data and trends in school/academy incidents of abuse
look at safer recruitment processes and policies
provide an opportunity to go through the recruitment process
Pre-course reading is available for all delegates to read through before the date of the training, please ensure to read this in advance.
Staff attending from a subscribing school will be charged £100

Bake Me Happy – Mincemeat recipe – Filo mince pies
We are really proud to work with our friend Joy from Bake Me Happy who is going to be giving us a new recipe every month.
I am no baker, but I have been on Joy's bread making course and it was amazing. I left feeling very inspired, and so Joy was a natural choice for our monthly baking inspiration blog.
Here is our first addition… Mincemeat…Just in time for Christmas.
This quantity fills 6 standard jam jars (227g/8oz), or 12 small ones.
Mincemeat is so easy to make, and as it cooks it fills the house with a lovely Christmassy smell!
You can make this recipe your own by increasing or decreasing the amount of spice, changing the type of alcohol, the amount of lemon or orange zest, the type of nuts and even the fruit you use. You could substitute some of the raisins and sultanas for dried dates, figs or apricots.
You can use this mincemeat straight away, or keep it, unopened in sterilised jars for up to a year. If you use butter instead of suet it's best to use the mincemeat within 1 month.
Ingredients to cook:
500 grams sultanas
500 grams raisins
3 large cooking apples
Juice (and zest if you like) of 3 oranges
juice of 1 lemon
100 grams mixed peel (optional)
350 grams dark brown soft sugar
2 tablespoons golden syrup
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3 teaspoons ground nutmeg
3 teaspoons mixed spice
Optional: 100 grams chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts all work well)
After cooking add:
100 grams suet or vegetable suet or butter
4 tablespoons (50ml) calvados, brandy or rum
- Peel and grate the apples and put the into a large, non-stick saucepan.
- Measure out the remaining ingredients that need to be cooked and add them to the pan.
- Put the pan on the stove over a medium heat and let it simmer gently for 30-40 minutes until the fruit has plumped up and most of the liquid has evaporated.
- As the mincemeat cooks, sterilise your jars. First wash them well in warm soapy water, rinse them and place on a baking tray. Let them dry out and sterilise in a low oven (100 degrees C) for at least 20 minutes. Meanwhile sterilise the lids by boiling them in a pan of water for a couple of minutes. Leave them in the water until you need them.
- Take the pan off the heat and stir in the suet, nuts and alcohol, stirring well to coat everything with the melting suet.
- Use a spoon or a funnel to divide the hot mixture into the hot, sterilised jars, and screw the lids on immediately. Leave the jars to cool. You may need to re-tighten the lids when they are cool.
…….and Filo Mince Pie Triangles!
Last year I came up with a new version of the classic mince pie, when I had some spare filo pastry to use up…..and I like them even more than the traditional ones!
To make 18 Filo mince pies, you just need a packet of shop bought filo pastry (you won't use all of it), 100grams melted butter, and a 228g jar of your homemade mincemeat.
Cut the filo into long thin rectangles (approx. 25cm x 10cm) and, working one at a time, brush the pastry generously with melted butter. Then place a teaspoonful of mincemeat at the top of the pastry, and fold the corner over, again and again until the mincemeat is encased in a neat triangle of filo.
Brush the top with butter, place on a baking tray lined with baking paper, and when you've repeated the process with the rest of the mincemeat, bake for 15-18 minutes at 200 degrees C until the pastry is golden and crispy.
Allow to cool, and then dust them with icing sugar to serve.

Saunter To The White House 70 ; 65 Is The Magic Number
65 delegates is the number that Barack Obama needs to reach the 2,026 to get the democratic nomination for President after last night's primaries.
Yes Clinton won Kentucky, as everyone expected, but the number of delegates she got, once again for her, are practically pointless.
Tell The Truthiness ; 65 delegates, that's all it takes and Puerto Rico's next.

Given all of the things throughout history which have happened in June, Hellary mentions the assassination of Bobby Kennedy? An unusually close parallel to Obama or wishful thinking or maybe instructions to the wack job racist out there?
"You guys aren't doing your job!"
That's what I hear Hellary saying!
Maybe that's just me, …. we will find out at Barak's wake.

Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club have announced a wide-ranging partnership with Michelin starred chef Tom Sellers ahead of the opening of Six, a contemporary British restaurant and bar at Trent Bridge.
The Club commissioned the sixth-floor restaurant premises with panoramic views over Nottingham and West Bridgford as part of a multi-million-pound redevelopment of the media centre in the Radcliffe Road Stand.
They will look to source talent and suppliers with strong ties to Nottingham ahead of the opening later this year.
"We have spent months talking to chefs and restauranteurs to support this project, but Tom's desire to make a contribution in his hometown off the back of his success elsewhere stood him apart," said Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club Chief Executive Lisa Pursehouse.
"It's our name above the door, but we're delighted to have him advising in the background where his influence has already been invaluable.
"This is about more than food for Tom. We share a desire to give young people a chance and to make a real contribution to Nottingham.
"That encompasses opening a restaurant unlike anything else in the city and weaving in opportunities for young talent to contribute in the kitchen and front of house."
Sellers, 31, grew up in East Leake before honing his skills in the world-renowned kitchens of Tom Aikens, Thomas Keller and René Redzepi.
His pursuit of a Michelin Star was realised within five months of opening Restaurant Story in London and his second property, The Lickfold Inn, continues to enjoy critical acclaim.
This marks as a homecoming of sorts for Nottingham-born Sellers, who will advise on menu development in partnership with a locally appointed chef, support a number of community initiatives and be in attendance to cook at six events throughout the year.
Sellers' nod to Nottingham is apparent in his recent work. His Merry Men pop-up, celebrating the legend of Robin Hood, which transformed a Victorian warehouse into a medieval banquet, sold out a four-week run within hours of launching.
"I've always had an ambition to do something in Nottingham and this feels like the right time and the right fit," said Tom.
"With a focus on developing young talent from the Nottingham area, I hope opportunities will be provided to young chefs to follow their dreams and carve out a career in the industry like I have.
"It's unusual for me to come along at a stage where big elements of the concept have already been developed, and Six is a Trent Bridge restaurant with me advising in the background rather than the other way around.
"We hope people enjoy Six for what it is. There is room in every city for independent restaurants that combine the right food, service and setting. Put simply, that's what we're working on together to achieve."
Six, Trent Bridge's new contemporary British restaurant and bar, is set to open in March with early access for those who register their interest attrentbridge.co.uk/six
Tom Sellers has an impressive CV, his journey driven by the ambition to work with the world's best chefs. Tom's culinary story started at the age of 16 when he landed his first job working in a pub. Recognising his talent, Tom was encouraged by his boss to work in London, where he managed to get a job in the kitchen of Tom Aikens.
It was under Tom Aikens that Tom learned how to cook Michelin star standard food. Following those formative years, he then went on to work for two years at Per Se in New York under Thomas Keller.
Back in London, Tom spent a few years at Trinity restaurant still cooking, but also learning about the business of restaurants. He then went to work at Noma in Copenhagen while it was recognised as the number one in the world, with chef René Redzepi. Tom was there for just over a year and he credits René with teaching him how to imagine.
Tom has huge admiration for his peers, who he credits with having shaped and guided him whilst giving him the skills and vision to be the extraordinary chef he is now.
In 2013, Tom realised the dream he had harboured for ten years and opened Restaurant Story. At Story, Tom aspires to present his guests with the most intelligent, inspired and well delivered dining experience they have ever had.
The premise is simple; seeking to tell a story through the food they serve. Restaurant Story gained its first Michelin star only five months after opening, a fine achievement for Tom who was 26 years old at the time.
About Trent Bridge
Trent Bridge is an international cricket ground located in West Bridgford in Nottingham which has hosted the England cricket team since 1899. Established in 1838, the venue continues to serve as one of the leading hosts of international cricket and will co-host the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup.
Trent Bridge is home to Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club. The Club re-invests all of its resources into its facilities, the professional team and community initiatives that provide opportunities for young people at risk of social exclusion.
The Radcliffe Road Stand was first built in 1997 and was overhauled as part of a multi-million-pound redevelopment which concluded in 2018. The restaurant space comprises two sixth floor dining room wings connected by a lobby bar, all with elevated views over West Bridgford and Nottingham.

You'll know when you're seriously taking your nutrition seriously. Instead of simply logging what you eat and drink and monitoring your calories burned on the MyPlate app, you'll be playing it like a game -- plugging in different snacks and meal combinations ahead of time -- chasing the perfect day of macronutrient consumption.
I've been using the MyPlate app by Livestrong for over three months now, and since I'm finally meeting my daily protein goal of 142 grams pretty regularly, I'm turning my focus to managing what percentage of my calories come from protein, fats and carbohydrates -- the macronutrients, or macros if you want to sound cool.
The MyPlate app uses recommendations for macronutrient consumption taken from The Zone Diet, which is 40 percent of your calories from carbohydrates, 30 percent from protein and 30 percent from fats. Achieving the perfect day of macronutrient consumption takes careful planning and is even harder than eating a gram of protein for each pound of your body weight.
The closest thing to a perfect day of macronutrient consumption I've managed was 39 percent of calories from carbohydrates, 33 percent from fats and 29 percent from protein. Those meals consisted of the following:
Slow cook some boneless beef cuts on low-to-medium heat with a can of kidney beans, a can of chili beans and a can of whole tomatoes. Add tomato paste. I add a bit of Sweet Baby Ray's Barbecue Sauce and a squeeze of mustard as well. Spice it up with chili powder, cayenne and black pepper. Cook for eight hours or until the beef is falling apart.
Pour a cup of chili over a sliced hamburger bun like an open-faced sandwich. Sprinkle shredded cheddar over the chili. You can add a fried egg to make the shredded beef and bean chili and egg breakfast sandwich and boost your protein consumption further.
Blend four ounces of 2% milk with one scoop of Super Advanced Whey Protein (either chocolate or vanilla), a third cup of strawberries, half a banana, and half a peach, or apple, or orange -- whatever you want. You can even blend vegetables.
Whey is the best way to reach your daily protein goals without breaking the bank or eating too much tuna or eggs. Plus, mixing whey with milk adds slower-acting casein protein and healthy fats. Adding juice adds more carbs, but a splash of orange juice with your milkshake is actually fantastic. If I'm already using an orange I hold the orange juice, though.
Macronutrient Breakdown: 35 percent carbs, 39 percent protein and 26 percent fats. This is an ideal breakfast given the caloric intake and macronutrient breakdown. There's even room for more carbohydrates and fats, which you could get from adding a fried egg and a few more fruits to the smoothie.
While 18 pretzels result in 22 grams of carbohydrates consumed, Newman's Own High-Protein Pretzels also carry 5 grams of protein per serving. Plus, all profits go to charity, and the pretzels are delicious despite their lack of salt and overall healthiness. I generally only eat half a serving after my big breakfast.
The easiest way to cut carbs is to make sandwiches with one slice of bread instead of two. Open a can of white tuna in water and drain it. Stir in a tablespoon or two of cottage cheese instead of mayonnaise, salad dressing or Miracle Whip. You'll cut down on the fat, and it's a nice little protein boost to an already high-protein lunch. Mix in some chopped onion and celery if you like, and add salt and pepper to taste. I sprinkle a bit of shredded cheddar cheese on the tuna, and use a teaspoon or so of Durkee's Famous Sauce (because a tablespoon is 80 calories) and a tablespoon of spicy brown mustard on my bread.
Bring four cans of reduced sodium chicken broth to a boil and add chopped carrots, onion and celery. After the vegetables are cooked thoroughly, add two cans of chicken breast and two cups of rice. Season with salt and pepper to taste, or add a few teaspoons of Frank's Red Hot Cayenne Pepper Sauce if you like it spicy.
I don't usually have a glass of 2% milk with lunch, but I did on this day.
Macronutrient Breakdown: 59 percent carbs, 25 percent protein, 16 percent fats. While this lunch isn't close to macronutrient consumption perfection, it keeps your protein consumption consistent and made up for the carbohydrates I didn't eat for breakfast. Ideally, you would attempt to keep your macronutrient goals consistent for each meal, but that's an even more difficult game to win and requires even more planning.
A serving of 39 Planter's Honey Roasted Peanuts is 13 grams of fat, but fats are better than carbs when you're turning your body into a fat-burning machine. Those 39 peanuts also carry seven grams of protein and seven grams of carbs with them, making them the ideal snack to make you feel full without packing on carbs.
Pre-heat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare chicken thighs by washing and removing the skin. Lightly grease a deep pan with extra virgin olive oil and finely chop some garlic. Place the chicken thighs in the pan and then flip them, just to get oil on both sides. Then sprinkle garlic over each side, along with any other spices you'd like to use. Bake to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Macronutrient Breakdown: 0 percent carbs, 33 percent protein and 67 percent fats. Again, this meal hardly meets the macronutrient goals of 40 percent carbs, 30 percent protein and 30 percent fats. But it does make up for my carb-heavy, fat-light lunch. I'll usually eat this with a side of green beans or other vegetable to get some carbs into the mix. You can even slice up the chicken and add it to an alfredo sauce to eat over whole grain pasta if you want to work in more carbs.
Whey protein is digested and absorbed by muscles quickly, whereas casein protein will continue to feed your muscles all night while you sleep, leaving you more refreshed in the morning. That's why cottage cheese or a glass of milk are recommended before bed. The casein proteins in dairy products make for the best way to help your muscles recover and continue burning fat while you sleep.
Don't use acidic fruits in your evening protein shake or you'll subject yourself to potential heartburn that could keep you up all night. Stick to strawberries and bananas -- no oranges.
As you can see, The Zone Diet requires careful planning, and chasing the perfect day of macronutrient consumption starts with figuring out the right foods to consume. Once you narrow those down, you can mix and match in order to consume 40 percent of your calories from carbs, 30 percent from protein and 30 percent from fats at every meal.

According to recent reports, IMAX will reduce the amount of 3-D films shown in their theaters. With second quarter earnings down a significant percentage from a prior-year period IMAX executives will restructure the way they present tent pole flagship Hollywood films.
In a conference call with The Wrap, CEO of IMAX, Greg Foster said:
"We're looking forward to playing fewer 3-D versions of films and more 2-D versions … which customers have shown a strong preference for (2-D)," Foster added, mentioning that Warner Bros. "Blade Runner 2049" will be shown in 2-D exclusively at IMAX theaters when it opens in October weekend."
That's all well and good. But does it really mean that 3-D is dying, or dead?
Probably. More directors are shooting on the 70mm IMAX cameras and if the company itself is dropping 3-D in favor of 2-D then, yes, I would say there is a strong possibility that 3-D is going the way of the dodo.
I for one, am happy to hear this. I know you will be able to find plenty of love for 3-D, usually in today's youth. And I will admit to watching a 3-D movie, from time to time -- but only once by choice. A couple of times someone bought me a ticket for a 3-D movie. I thanked them and watched said film in 3-D.
A couple of times I read movietickets.com wrong and didn't realize I was showing up for a 3-D version and decided to see it so as not to wait for the next 2-D showing at a much later time.
I felt, much as the way you probably do -- for the added cost of the ticket price the 3-D experience is not worth it. The movies are too dark. Frenetic, hyper-edited action sequences become even more of a negative ADD experience.
The only movie I actively bought a 3-D ticket for was James Cameron's, Avatar. I'll get to that later.
But first ...
Just where did this obnoxious 3-D crap come from?
From wikipedia:
"The stereoscopic era of motion pictures began in the late 1890s when British film pioneer William Friese-Greene filed a patent for a 3D film process. In his patent, two films were projected side by side on screen (one meant for the left eye to view, one meant for the right eye to view). The viewer looked through a stereoscope to converge the two images. Because of the obtrusive mechanics behind this method, theatrical use was not practical."
To be honest, I wasn't expecting 3-D to have been around in 1890. Though, it really wasn't until the 1920's when a few directors and cinematographers tried to make the process marketable for a then modern audience. Three 3-D films from the twenties - The Men from M.A.R.S., The Power of Love and The Ship of Souls had limited runs. Nothing really peaked audience interest.
The thirties and forties showed little additional interest in 3-D films with each era producing only a handful of 3-D films. Even the arrival of Technicolor didn't help. A few 3-D films were shot and printed in Technicolor but none of them screened in color and the use of color printing was only to help achieve the red / cyan (blue) 3-D coding effect.
In the early thirties polarized filters (which reduce glare) hit the market as a commercial product. This really helped with the 3-D process but again, wasn't enough to peak audience interest.
It wasn't until the 1950's that 3-D exploded and the time between 1952-1954 was known as the "golden era" of the process. It all began late 1952 with the hit, Bwana Devil -- a drama based on the real life Tsavo Man-Eaters -- a pair of man eating lions responsible for the deaths of a number of construction workers on the Kenya-Uganda Railway from March through December 1898.
From wikipedia:
"As with practically all of the features made during this boom, Bwana Devil was projected dual-strip, with Polaroid filters. During the 1950s, the familiar disposable anaglyph glasses made of cardboard were mainly used for comic books ...
Because the features utilized two projectors, a capacity limit of film being loaded onto each projector (about 6,000 feet, or an hour's worth of film) meant that an intermission was necessary for every feature-length film. Quite often, intermission points were written into the script at a major plot point."
To make a long story short -- 3-D suddenly boomed. In 1953, House of Wax, landed in the year's top ten at the box office, the first time ever for a 3-D film. House of Wax also catapulted and forever typecast legendary actor, Vincent Price into the role of creepy horror film guy.
Alas, the "golden era" was short lived. Endless problems occurred with 3-D technology, the prints, and the time management to run the films. A few of the issues:
The silver projection screen was directional and caused sideline seating to be unusable.
The prints had to project simultaneously and remain exactly alike after repair or sync would be lost. If sync was off by even a single frame -- the picture was unwatchable.
Oftentimes theaters had to have two projectionist keep sync.
Mandatory intermission meant less features could be shown daily which resulted in lowered profit for all involved.
By 1955, 3-D films were gone from theaters.
Thankfully 3-D went away forever, never to return!
Ugh. I wish. There was an explosion of 3-D in the eighties and suddenly, horror films thought all "third" films should be 3-D -- Jaws 3-D, Amityville Horror 3-D, Friday the 13th 3 in 3-D -- you get the picture.
Disney caught on and released Magic Journey and Captain EO (starring Michael Jackson and directed by Francis Ford Coppola) in special venues at their theme parks. In the mid eighties IMAX began producing non-fiction films in their 70mm format and pushed as a key point for their 3-D films vs. traditional 3-D -- the IMAX process, then and now, emphasized mathematical correctness of the 3-D rendition and thus largely eliminated the eye fatigue that resulted from the approximate geometries of previous 3-D incarnations.
3-D was back and it was here to stay!
Except, no -- it wasn't.
3-D, like the tide, waxed and waned all throughout the decade but for the most part had faded from mainstream use by the nineties. It's true that 3-D stayed alive through special attractions throughout the entire nineties but just as the fifties, it mostly faded from mainstream cinema.
The next resurgence of 3-D began in 2003, with the release of James Cameron's, Ghosts of the Abyss released as the first full-length 3-D Disney / IMAX feature and filmed with the Reality Camera System. This camera system, built by Cameron and Vince Pace used the latest HD video cameras, not film to produce the 3-D effect.
The film joined James Cameron, actor Bill Paxton and a team of the world's foremost historical and marine experts as they journey underwater to the site of wrecked ship, the Titanic. The film was a colossal critical and commercial success.
And suddenly studios were interested in 3-D. Again. Studios began experimenting in releasing both a 2-D print and a 3-D print for their high profile products. The Polar Express (2005) was the first feature length animated film released in both prints with the 3-D version pulling in about 25% of the films total box office. Which was enough to raise 3-D interest from other studios.
Over the course of the next decade studios went 3-D crazy. Selected large budget films were released in both 2-D and 3-D, old films were re-released with a post production 3-D process and handful of films were specifically shot in 3-D cameras.
Which brings me to …
James Cameron's, "Avatar."
Much has been written about the herculean effort Cameron put into Avatar. Entire books, movies, documentaries and short films can be found. I offer only a few tidbits for context:
James Cameron spent twelve years developing technology improving 3-D cameras in order to shoot Avatar. He is the only director who seems to fully understand that the 3-D process makes your film darker. And so what did he do?
Well, he spent six months working with botanists, creating an ecologically accurate planet to set his story in. A planet that has glowing flora. So even when the 3-D process darkened his film for all those nights scenes the entire film is still brightly lit do to the glowing plants all over the planet!
I want to make that last point clear. He didn't just want glowing plants all over the planet -- because that would be easy to accomplish. He wanted his planet to work. And so he spent months working with scientists to make sure the plants he showed would be one hundred percent ecologically accurate. He wanted the planet to be able to survive -- if it had been a real planet.
Which is amazing and it's only a few of the reasons that Cameron's Avatar remains one of the monumental directing achievements in all of world cinema.
Not that it's without flaws. I'll be the first person to admit that I think the script to Avatar is awful and the acting, for the most part, is adequate to incompetent. That being said, the film was a must see movie event in 2009. But you had to see it in 3-D. Cameron spent so long working in 3-D that he just seems to be the only working American filmmaker to just -- get it.
In fact, of all the movies that have gone on to gross a billion dollars only one of them is an original story idea -- James Cameron's Avatar. All the other movies in the billion plus club are sequels and franchise films.
Which says something (probably that Cameron was the first and only person to knock the novelty 3-D process out of the park).
Which brings us to today …
The "Avatar" resurgence has faded. 3-D is dying. Again.
It had a good run. But IMAX is right. Consumers, by and large, greatly prefer 2-D movie events. 3-D comes and goes and comes and goes and it never amounts to anything more than a novelty. 3-D was huge in the early fifties but, because it was a novelty, was gone in two years. 3-D had a resurgence in the eighties but, because it was a novelty, was gone in several years. 3-D had a second resurgence with Cameron's technology achievement in the early 2000's but, because it's a novelty, has faded and will probably be gone in another three or five years.
Novelties, it seems, make a lot of money in short bursts but audiences quickly get tired of them. 3-D may be fading but if history repeats itself (again), I can almost guarantee you we'll see another resurgence of 3-D -- oh-- somewhere around 2040.
For better or worse.

This is going to be a long termite swarm season!!! I say this because Mother Nature keeps sending us through Spring, Summer & Winter…weekly! The termites need humidity and heat to trigger their swarm and that's why we are having spotted swarms across the county. Normally, this process starts to the south and moves north. However, the one consistency with all of these swarms is that they are occurring inside the homes, where the temperature is more constant/warm…and no; an interior swarm is not a good situation.
Last month, my article gave you a really good verbal description of a termite. It was suppose to have a picture, but I guess it got "edited".?.? So, since the swarm is not finished, here is a visual difference between the swarming termite and the swarming ant:
Again, should you enter your home or business and discover thousands of "ant like" insects with or without wings; you should immediately contact a pest control company. Do not grab the raid can and start spraying. The majority of these swarmers will die. If you must clean up the area, please use a vacuum and then discard the bag. It's important for the pest control operator to view the area to determine the point(s) of entry/exit, especially on an interior swarm. Additionally, it is very common for homeowners to find termite swarmers around the doors and windows during the swarm season. What needs to be identified is whether the wings are located on the inside or outside of the structure.
I know that I always try to give you solutions to resolve the problems yourself, but this is one insect that I strongly recommend having a professional treat. I can't tell you the number of times that I've heard a homeowner say, "I sprayed these termites last year with some can of something and they stopped swarming. Why are they swarming again?" Well, it's because you did it wrong. (Sorry, don't shoot the messenger, please) The immediate problem/activity can be treated professionally and accurately with a spot treatment and there will be a much higher probability that you will not experience a swarm in that area, next year. Spot treatments are limited (by the TDA) to 10 linear feet and are generally the least expensive. But, when completed properly, will stop the activity and continual feeding of the termites, in that area. Whether you decide to treat the entire structure or just have a spot treatment, a licensed professional should perform this service.
Protect your home or office from potential termite activity!!! The cost of protecting is far less than the cost to remodel. Additionally, perform those alterations to the exterior to minimize termite activity, as discussed in previous articles.
Until next time, if you're tired of "swatin, stompin and throwin" things (at bugs)…give us a call…we'll Chase'em away …to your neighbors. We are a full service pest control company providing general pest, termite, rodent and misting system services to homes and offices in Montgomery County. If we can assist you, please give us a call or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

I have been a New Balance customer for ten years. It all started from the discounted pair I bought when I started running, which was a funky gold pair of New Balance 749. I tried a couple of direct competitors in between but I had to size up to fit my overpronating duck-wide feet. Those pairs didn't last either. So, I kept on coming back to New Balance and never looked back.
Anyway, here's my long overdue personal review of New Balance 860v9:
Type: Stability
Terrain: Road
Weight: 11.5oz (327.5g) approx
Size: Men's 9 Wide (U.S.)
Color: Black/Magnet
Toe drop: 10mm: Due to variances created during the development and manufacturing processes, all references to a 10mm drop are approximate.
Price: PHP6795 (SRP)
New Balance 860v9 features an engineered synthetic mesh upper for a lighter, more comfortable fit, and no-sew upper construction for breathability which makes our feet cool when running even on hot summer days. The only problem with the toe box though is the lack of protection. If someone steps on my foot, I would be screaming in pain. I also have to trim my toenails regularly because the durability of its upper can be a suspect.
One often ignored improvement of the 860v9 is the well-cushioned heel collar. It looks like it was adapted from the discontinued Vazee Prism line which I liked the most. I find the heel collar snug yet comfortable without slipping out from my feet onto another runner's face. I wear size 9US Wide and the fit is true to size. Also, there is no color bleeding from the sock liner and insoles. We can wear our favorite white or even neon running socks at any time.
Its dual-density ACTEVA and ABZORB midsole feels more cushiony than before. The ever-present T-Beam stabilizer seen at the bottom of the outsole is a tried and tested feature to correct pronation issues. Despite its hefty 11.5oz weight, the New Balance 860v9 still feels light on our feet and provides us a faster ride because of its improved midsole cushioning. However, it still suffers from flexibility issues like its predecessors. If you're an ultrafast runner that demands a very flexible pair of running shoes, I would highly recommend Rubix.
The solid Blown Rubber outsole proves its durability over time compared to other New Balance road running models. The outsole is still as grippy as ever, even on wet roads. The 10mm drop can be beneficial to runners with tight calves and aggressive heel strikers. It also has less energy return compared to their discontinued 870 and Vazee Prism light stability counterparts.
860v9 is one of the best incarnations of the 860 light stability series. It is one of the lightest stability shoes in today's market. Although, it has to improve its flexibility which many faster runners prefer. They also have more color varieties for the benefit of runners who would like to express themselves. I'll get one or two more pairs.
Special thanks to Ms. Angel Trambulo of FEU AB Communications Class of 2019 who took these photos.

KOIWARA is agriculture's small preparation. This process is a family ritual: re-burning wood piles of insufficiently burned tree trunks and branches. Koiwara takes place after the community have taken care of the larger preparation, known as Moshiro. Both are traditions of the Kalinia indigenous tribe.
I kroywara I: when I walk with you, you walk with I
This is a concept of limited damage for long-term effects. A dance, between culture and nature. It follows two exhibitions with focus on contradictions: in 2010 as contrast, and in 2012 as harmony. "I kroywara I" is a psychological experiment that reflects on violence in relation to power.
Between 2016 and 2017, I produced the trilogy KROYWARA through coaching of "Shrijversvakschool Paramaribo". The scripts reflect on problems of nationalism. Transformation of leadership is a metaphorical body for the catharsis that a fabricated nation is facing. The first script – a conversation about the politics of practice in relation to class – was awarded and performed in May 2017 in Suriname.
AISA AYA was a project to research indigenous myths in the America's during 4 months in 2017. I focused on the question How do different belief systems in South and North America function in relation to knowledge? The research took place as artist in residency, through collaborations with (indigenous) communities and (international) artists. My intention was to reflect on objects that represent pride of the America's and create documents that symbolize a space for representation.
From November 2017 until November 2018, teens and (emerging) artists interacted through MISSION 21: Hand in hand into active participation. This mentoring project functioned as a vehicle for conversations on public secrets. In general, it promoted participation, the right on freedom of expression, and building of resilient communities.

The "Quarterback" of Volleyball
More stories from Nala Wilson
May 20, 2019
Volleyball, just as any other sport, has a list of positions that each girl plays. The positions go as follow: outside hitter, middle hitter, right-side hitter, defensive specialist, libero and setter. Every position comes with a role that one has to play during the game. One of the most specialized is the setter.
Our school has had the same setter for the past four years, Ta'Naya Corley. Corley is now a senior so this will be her last year. The setting position tends to go unappreciated as they are responsible for setting up the hitters every single play.
In volleyball, it is referred to as "the second touch," the first touch is usually a dig or pass, the second touch is the setter making the play, and the third touch is the hitter executing the play. Therefore, the setter is always at work. Corley has been playing since 7th grade, at 13 years old. She has always been a setter but said, if she had to play any other position, she "would be a defensive specialist."
Without a setter, the hitters would have no one to make them look good, and the defensive specialists and libero would have no one to work hard for. The setter really is the backbone of the team, which is why she can be referred to as the "quarterback" equivalent in volleyball. Corley calls the shots and is in charge of running the court during the game.
The team is very grateful to have such a hardworking setter so they work hard for her. Westwood volleyball's region play starts Tuesday and Thursday of next week (the 11th and 13th) at home. Students get in for only $2 with a valid student ID! So don't be afraid to support!
Come out to see Corley and the rest of the team in action!

Praised in the United States, especially by the Hollywood stars, the detox remedies have the wind in their sails! Detoxification is the elimination of toxic elements from the body. Detoxification is often used to indicate the treatment of predicaments related to drugs. In relation to food, a detox refers to a feeding regimen meant to eliminate dietary and environmental toxins from our bodies in order to maintain a healthy living. The main idea in this diet plan is to consume natural foods that will improve the functioning of the liver, lymph, and kidneys.
The detox diet is a combination of organic foods, whole-unprocessed foods, beverages, high mix vegetables and fruits, herbal teas, extra virgin oil, water, and certain herbs that aid the detoxification. This diet mainly avoids processed foods, caffeine, alcohol, drugs, and some supplements (with additives). Therefore, a detox diet is considered to be low in calories.
Why do we need a detox diet?
The primary purpose of a detox diet is to maintain a healthy living. We should understand that a healthy body should not have excess fats. This diet is not extreme or dangerous – in fact, this is the way we should all eat all the time!
Here are some of the toxins that we ingest on a daily basis:
- Pesticides
- Fertilizers
- Antibiotics and growth hormones (given to the animals we eat)
- Flavors, preservatives, and chemicals added to our foods
- Air pollution, cleaning products (house, cars, and clothes)
- Flexible plastics release chemical substances (e.g., plastic water bottles)
- Makeup
- Perfumes and toiletries
We are all surrounded by toxins, and that is a good explanation as to why most of us look tired, stressed, and lack energy. The body needs to eliminate these toxins from the bloodstream. When the bloodstream is submerged with toxins, the safest place where the body can store toxins is in the fat cells.
If you then try to lose fat, your body will fight to keep that fat to prevent the body from being flushed out of toxins that it is unable to handle. This causes weight loss to become a struggle. So that's why we all need detoxification! By making this diet, your body is provided with the support it needs to release and eliminate the toxins stored and allow you to start letting go of excess fat. Detoxification provides lots of high-quality nutrients and minerals, natural supplements support, and plenty of water to help eliminate toxins.
Which foods should be on your plate?
Fruits and vegetables
They are essential for perfect diet as well as a simple detox. Fruits and vegetables provide vitamins essential to our well-being and are rich in fiber and antioxidants. Some of the most effective are, the artichoke, cruciferous like cabbages, kale, and broccoli.
On the fruit side, there is a clear preference for grapefruit, blueberries, and raspberries. Fruit and vegetable juices made with the juice extractor are also highly recommended. Opt for diuretic vegetables such as radish, to cleanse the body of toxins.
It is well known that fish is good for health, more so when we are carrying out a detox cure. Concentrate only on lean fish such as salmon, cod or turbot. For cooking, go for steam or the baked version. Do not hesitate to add aromatic herbs like the chives known for its diuretic properties.
Mineral water, tea, and infusions
Ideal for a detox cure especially after the parties, tea, and infusions make a perfect combo. Herbs will purify your entire immune system. For example, you can help with dandelions, which will allow you to infuse the herbs for several minutes before drinking a few cups.
Do not forget, water remains the best way to eliminate toxins. A healthy person is supposed to drink 1.5 liters per! Don't forget to choose mineral water rich in magnesium. Then you can infuse your drinks according to your tastes. You can also flavor it to optimize its health benefits, turn it into broth or herbal tea.
Which foods should be out of your plates?
This diet generally spreads from the sodas, sweets, jams, etc. These junk foods are a significant threat to health since they lead to obesity and related diseases.
Animal fats (oils, meats, sausages, and butter)
These foods are rich in saturated fatty acids, and therefore must be avoided imperatively, especially if cooked. Cooking releases ketone molecules that would often be in excess in the body.
Alcohol is a popular harmful drink to the body. It causes various metabolic disorders, promotes the occurrence of cancers, and disrupts digestion. So if you have an evening during your detox diet: bet on water or fruit juices with no added sugars!
Tobacco is well known as a harmful substance to the body. It pollutes it the body by administering various poisons (ammonia, arsenic, lead, tar), and depriving it of oxygen.
What health benefits will you get from a detox diet?
Cleansing the body of toxins
Regular food intake and breathing from the air all have the contents of various chemicals that are harmful to the body. Pesticides, artificial additives, alcohol, antibiotics, etc. A detox diet leads to the elimination of these potentially hazardous substances from the body resulting in healthy living.
Re-balancing the intestinal system
Our intestine is home to 1014 hosts: bacteria, viruses, etc. To fight against these pathogens, the body has an intestinal auto-vaccine: the GUT. But our plates, generally too sweet, too fat and too rich in omega 6, cause intestinal putrescences, which induce inflammatory reactions. These effects lead to repeated colds, allergies, eczema, urinary infections, etc. By choosing a detox diet, a healthy intestinal ecosystem is recreated.
Alkalizing your body
The modern lifestyles entail consuming processed food, and not doing enough exercise that leads the body to be more acidic. A significant concentration of acidity in the body is a vestibule for various illnesses and infections. When you take a detox diet, you will alkalize your body and balance your pH.
Improve the Immune system
It is well known that our life depends on our immune system. Although caused by genetics, the influence of the environment on our immune system is not negligible. Taking a detox diet on a daily basis will make your immune system stronger and defend you from various infections, viruses, bacteria or many different sicknesses.
Glowing Complexion
Detoxing has a significant effect on the outside of the body leading to a glowing complexion. Your skin and hair become more shiny and healthy.
Weight Loss
Weight loss is one of the most sought-after benefits of detox diets. Basically, the focus is entirely on raw foods, which include fibrous fruits vegetables, and herbs. These food are very low in fat and carbohydrates, which is a great kick start to lose weight.
Imagine the condition of your car without any drain! Definitely, this car will break down. Therefore, detoxification of our filters (liver, bladder, kidney, and intestines) is important since it enhances the regaining of your digestive well-being, promoting proper assimilation of nutrients for better exchanges and ultimately making you more resistant to external aggression.
