[cnn-photo-caption image= http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2008/images/11/06/art.palin07.gi.jpg caption="Spending on Palin's clothes, makeup and hair made headlines during the campaign."](CNN) - Former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin's biggest mistake of the presidential campaign: not enough time with the media, the Alaska governor said in an interview published Monday.
"The biggest mistake made was that I could have called more shots on this: the opportunities that were not seized to speak to more Americans via media," she told Human Events.
"I was not allowed to do very many interviews, and the interviews that I did were not necessarily those I would have chosen. But I was so thankful to have the opportunity to run with John McCain that I was not going to argue with the strategy decisions that some of his people were making regarding the media contacts.
"But if I would have been in charge, I would have wanted to speak to more reporters because that's how you get your message out to the electorate.
Palin also said she was uncomfortable leaving the campaign's management to people she did not know well. "I was in a campaign in which I did not know the people individually running the campaign. So I had to put my life, my career, my family, and my reputation in their hands. That's kind of a scary thing to do when you don't know the people you are working with," said the Alaska governor.
Palin has been the target of tough criticism, much of it anonymous, from senior McCain aides since the end of the campaign.
Enough about Sarah Palin.
As we look back on the seriousness of the entire 2 years of primaries plus the presidential campaign, Palin's appearance, like a shot out of the dark, was the intermission when the clowns come out, to give the real serious politicians a chance to go over serious platform issues, and then get back on the trail.
McCain & Palin contrasted with others as the comedy relief for US politics in 2008, and nothing more. She is not even popular with her constituents in Alaska, now that they got a really good look at her.
Sarah, you gave enough interviews to show us what a ditz you are. Go back to your frozen tundra and bail your daughter`s future mother inlaw out of jail for drug dealing.
So Barbie's biggest regret is not spending enough time with the media?
I'm not surprised. People with depth and introspection would consider the "paling around with terrorists" comment as the low point. But then again, we'rte talking about Sarah Palin here.
The McCain campaign admitted that they hid her because they knew she was not competent enough to face media scrutiny.
They were right.
She was most effective as a tightly scripted symbol of an America that no longer exists and, thankfully, never really did.
who cares
Is this woman really that dumb?
Look, Sarah... we saw enough of you. Seriously, you made a fool of yourself with Couric, and it wasn't her fault – it was yours. There was no "gotcha". Simple, straightforward questions and you couldn't answer.... but you wanted to be "a heartbeat from the Presidency"? Own it. The failure is yours.
The biggest obstacle you faced coming into the race was that you were largely an unknown, and you had the challenge of convincing most people that you were more than a token-female answer to Hillary's supporters. There were more than enough independents and middle-of-the-road people to give you a fighting chance to win them over.
You didn't. You ran them off.
Now, enough about you.
You know, people keep asking things like, "Why are you afraid of Palin?" I do not think anyone is afraid of Palin herself much. Her followers, however, are the ones to be frightened of. They have a blind devotion to her that is very unsettling and follows no logic. For example, some of them literally believe that Palin was set up by the media, with the media going so far as to burn all of the CDs that show the real, articulate Palin. If Palin had pulled a Blagojevich, her followers would have unquestionably written that off as some sort of set up too. I should not say this, but now I know how a certain European leader circa mid 1940s was able to get by with what he did.
Can someone please explain to me why this woman is still relevant?
Because the first few went so well? Yeah that's grand.
I'd also like to throw the blame the media deserves for not coming out and really letting the US know if she REALLY is the most knowlegeable person on energy. Stat reciting is a joke and all I have seen, it's the kind of things managers do in rooms with other managers, and since no one with any technical experience is present, you all buy it. Good going.
Please GO AWAY! Your polarizing views and those of your supporters have turned citizens against each other. We have never wanted that. Just revel in the memory of your time in the limelight, write a memoir and GO AWAY!
You know, denial isn't just a river in Egypt. Does this woman realize that someone who takes six years and five colleges to get a degree in Journalism, barely graduates from high school, and has an I.Q. of less than 90 really should keep her mouth closed? What's worse is that Alaskans actually overwhelmingly support this baffoon. Of course, they have the highest high school drop out rate in the country.
I'll tell you what- If this is the standard bearer of the Republican Party, the Democrats can sit back and enjoy total dominance for at least the next 20 years.
Please go away Sarah. I love your Conservative values, but you are nowhere neara ready for any kind of national office.
Yeah, more media exposure. So more people could hear the nonsensical ramblings pouring from between your lips. That would have really sealed the deal. Still don't get it, do you? The American people tried stupid for eight years – look around, it didn't work. Time to try smart.
OK (sigh)..why is SP acting like she is the best at giving interviews! Some call Mitt Romney and tell him SP got out again please. Katy Couric is one of the best interviewers in the world, I have watched her since she did the olympics back in the day. SP cannot sit there and say that she would have not done an interview with couric. Who woud she have done more interviews with? Witch Doctor weekly, Cabelas Hunt and Grunt, Guns and Ammo, Christian Science monitor. Give us all a great christmas present and go back into the woods with Dick Cheney and get shot in the face by accident, Please Santa..please!
Palin represents the narrow minded attitude that has gotten us into the mess we are in now. She is W. Bush in a skirt. The republican base might love her, but remeber what the last guy they loved did for our country. 2 wars, recesion, unemployment, 911 attack...
Go away and never come back!
She cannot be SERIOUS ???? The little she said was enough reason to limit her.....wooow
Having more interviews is not a good thing. Especially when your Sarah Palin. You may be able to see russia from your window, but that doesn't add up to foreign policy experience. I can see the stars from my yard, but I'm not an astronaut.
The more she talked the more it became evident she was an incompetent whack-job.
By the way, did Bristol have the baby yet? Daddy Levi wants to know if it's safe to come back to Wasilla............
Sarah Palin would have made worse for the Republican Party it she had more media interviews. Hey, can she still see Russia from her house?
Why is the media still reporting on unimportant issues relating to Sarah Palin and her perceived potential reasons for her teams loss in this past election? Give it a rest folks...we don't care! In fact, keeping her out of the limelight might do her some real good for the future. Bottom line is she wasn't ready to lead at that level and needs QUIET time to learn.
Sarah Palin would have made it worse for the Republican Party if she had more media interviews. Hey, can she still see Russia from her house?
You spoke enough and everyone here in "Anti-America" thanks you for that.
Hmmm. This story is already on the ticker...
I'm so sure that woulda helped.

Kentucky Retirement Systems, Frankfort, is conducting an invitation-only search for two or three managers to run a total of $500 million in active domestic midcap equities, confirmed T.J. Carlson, chief investment officer of the $13.3 billion system.
Manager presentations are expected to start next week. The investment committee should make recommendations in May, and board approval is expected at the May 17 meeting. An RFI was issued in January, Mr. Carlson said in a telephone interview.
Funding will come from moving assets out of the $600 million internally managed passive midcap portfolio. The pension fund currently has no active midcap managers.
R.V. Kuhns, the retirement system's general consultant, is assisting with the search.
Separately, the board hired Elkins McSherry to provide transaction cost analysis services. It is a new hire, and no company was replaced, Mr. Carlson said. It was an invitation-only search, Mr. Carlson said.

This training can also be used generally in the context of any organisational or personal changes and it is designed to promote resilience, problem-solving capabilities and psychological techniques to best adapt to change, embrace a more flexible way of living and for many, adapt to a new working and work relationship environment.
- Learn resilience, CBT & ACT skills to promote greater psychological flexibility in the face of change and transition.
- Develop skills to adapt to new working structures and relating to colleagues.
- Increase awareness of the stress respones to change, and explore effective evidence-based coping strategies.

About OnePlus Nord CE 5G
The OnePlus Nord CE 5G is a good-looking device and reminds me of the original Nord, especially in the Blue Void colour. It is solidly built and feels comfortable to hold. OnePlus has managed to keep the phone slim at 7.9mm in thickness, and it weighs 170g which feels lighter than some of the other smartphones I've tested recently. The Nord CE 5G is well balanced and it is curved along the sides which makes it comfortable to grip.
You get a big 6.43-inch display with a camera hole in the top left corner. The bezels are thin around the sides and top while the chin is slightly larger. The frame of the Nord CE 5G is made out of plastic and all the buttons are placed near the centre. The power button is on the right and volume buttons are on the left. This placement makes it easy to reach these buttons without needing to shuffle the phone in the hand. However, there's no alert slider, which has become a OnePlus trademark over the years. The SIM tray is on the left as well and can take in two Nano-SIMs but there's no microSD card slot.

Their motto is "Death To False Pizza"—that's how you know Sizzle Pie doesn't fuck around.
The Portland-born pizzeria moves into Williamsburg next Monday, transforming the former Grandma Rose's pizzeria into a pie slinging joint that'd send most grannies running to the hills.
"There was a zine in the '80s called Death To False Metal; very short lived, very small thing, but very impactful to the music scene. It was one of the first times there was a metal zine," explains Sizzle Pie owner Mikey McKennedy. "It's really just something stupid that I said one night and my business partner was like, 'Dude—that's it!'"
Oregonians know Sizzle Pie as much for its rockin' pizza as they do its metal-minded aesthetic. "A lot of the stuff that comprises our brand that people will point to as these decisions we made were just extensions of our personality at the beginning," McKennedy admits. "We just weren't that talented or smart to really think of a 'brand idea.'"
Be that as it may, the restaurants are known for supporting artists through regular shows, and McKennedy's responsible for the artwork that adorns the walls of his restaurants. They're also infusing their pizza and their Instagram page with metal, movie memes, and inside jokes.
(Scott Heins/Gothamist)
"All the menu items that I name are usually kind of sarcastic, to say the least, or witty, or band references," McKennedy says. "It's usually stuff that I think is so dumb sounding it's funny and makes me chuckle and it goes from there."
That's how you get pies like 6 Degrees Of Kevin Bacon (Canadian bacon and pineappe); It's Always Sunny In Portland (shaved beef steak, green peppers, white onions and Italian provolone); Vegan Angel Of Doom (vegan mozzarella, jalapenos, pineapple, shaved almonds and cilantro); and their signature pie, The Ol' Dirty (salami, ricotta, olive oil and pepperoncinis).
"Our meat-eating population is diehard," McKennedy says, but the pizzeria's a well-known vegan destination (McKennedy himself is now vegan) even in places like Portland where almost everywhere offers vegan foods. "It's just something we did. A lot of people from the beginning were like, 'You're gonna lose your asses on money and food costs' and we just said, 'I don't think so.' It is more expensive, but the return is we make good vegan food."
Their vegan ranch for the salads has even become one of their most popular menu items.
Evil Never Dies: Spicy Aardvark Blended Red Sauce, Tofu Cheese, Seitan Chorizo, Tomato, Jalapeno, Red Onion, and Fresh Cilantro (vegan) (Scott Heins/Gothamist)
Whether or not they make quality vegan food will be moot to most New Yorkers if the pizza itself doesn't live up to the city's exacting standards.
Sizzle cooks their pizzas in a gas oven, but McKennedy keeps mum on the flour they're using, letting slip only that it's a local equivalent to what they're using in the Northwest. McKennedy says he modeled his pies after the ones coming out of Brooklyn in both the crust and the sauce styles.
"But we're sensitive to saying that because you see crazy shit on the west coast that you don't see on the east coast. Then they're like, "New York-style pizza!' and you're like, 'No, that's not, that's not.' McKennedy laughs. "We like to say we're east-meets-west."
Sizzle Pie's dropping this first location in Williamsburg, followed by another on the neighborhood's southside and a third location in Bushwick, so they're already banking on finding some love in NYC.
"We haven't had any discussions like, "Okay, what're we gonna do to impress New York?' We know our food is good," McKennedy states. "We are going to be very humble and just try to appreciate the fact that we're in this amazing neighborhood and that's the thing. We're gonna go in here, do what we do, and just kinda be quiet and try not to come across like assholes."

High cholesterol, or hypercholesterolemia, is among the major risk factors associated with cardiovascular diseases. However, right in your kitchen spice rack, there could be many spices and herbs to lower cholesterol.
The most common high cholesterol treatment is statinsâa drug therapy linked to all sorts of serious adverse effects that include type 2 diabetes, liver damage, insomnia, cancer, and even an increased incidence of death.
On the other hand, cholesterol-lowering herbs and spices are generally safer and far less toxic than statin drugs. Some of the most popular herbs to lower cholesterol have been used for centuries in many cultures.
In this article, I will take you on a tour of my herb and spice rack, and detail how to lower cholesterol with a variety of my kitchen herbs, including powerhouse ingredients like garlic, ginger, turmeric, and more.

22 Cholesterol Lowering Herbs You Can Find in Your Kitchen
The famous Greek physician Hippocrates once said: âLet food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food.â Basically, food is medicine.
From the ancient Romans and Greeks to the Egyptians, Chinese, and Indians, each culture has long touted the healing power of cooking with herbs and spices.
Today, science backs up what these civilizations have been saying for thousands of years. Many herbs and spices can help reduce the risk of a number of heart disease risk factors, especially high cholesterol.
An imbalance of high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and low amounts of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol is thought to increase the risk of stroke or heart attack.
If you want to manage high cholesterol, what you eat is very important. This is where a plant-based diet with lots of omega-3 fats is a good idea. The addition of a variety of spices and herbs to your food also contain cardio-protective antioxidants that are vital for lowering cholesterol naturally.
Want to know how to lower cholesterol with herbs and spices in your kitchen?
Read on to learn about 22 fantastic spices and herbs to lower cholesterol below.
1. Garlic (Allium Sativum)
Garlic (Allium sativum) is among the great herbs to lower cholesterol and improve circulation naturally due to one of its sulfur-containing compoundsâallicin.
The herb has been recognized as a treatment and preventative for many metabolic and cardiovascular diseases, which include atherosclerosis and hyperlipidemia.
Research also suggests that cholesterol levels drop when garlic is consumed on a regular basis. So, the more garlic you use, the lower your cholesterol drops.
A study published in the Journal of Nutrition in 2006 found that raw garlic had a significant effect in reducing cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and the researchers concluded that garlic may play an important role in atherosclerosis prevention.
Other studies have shown that garlic powder can lower total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol in patients with high cholesterol and coronary heart disease. At the same time, HDL cholesterol had been increased.
Garlic is also able to prevent blood clots. This is important for people with high cholesterol since blood clots develop around the heart, and the consequences can be fatal.
However, since garlic does thin the blood, consult your doctor before using it.
2. Ginger (Zingiber Officinale)
Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is the most widely used dietary condiment in the world, and has been used by the Chinese and Indians to treat health problems for more than 4,700 years.
It was also actually a priceless commodity during the Roman Empire trade due to its medicinal properties. The therapeutic benefits are known to derive from gingerâs anti-inflammatory and antioxidant-rich gingerols.
When it comes to lowering cholesterol, ginger may be one of the best kitchen remedies. One of the latest studies published in the journal Pharmacognosy Research in 2013 found that ginger extract reduced levels of LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and total cholesterol in rats.
Other research published in the Saudi Medical Journal in 2008 found that three grams of ginger powder in three divided doses significantly reduced LDL cholesterol, total cholesterol, and triglyceride levels in 85 people with high cholesterol.
Both raw ginger and ginger powder are excellent for cooking, while ginger can also be used to make an excellent tea.
3. Fenugreek Seeds (Trigonella Foenum-Graecum)
Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) is an annual herb from the pea family that is also called Greek hay. The seeds have a somewhat bitter taste that is similar to celery.
It is a popular spice used to stabilize and thicken food, while it has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicines.
As a medicine, fenugreek seeds could benefit people with heart conditions, including those with high levels of cholesterol and trigylcerides. Compounds in fenugreek seeds called steroidal saponins can inhibit both cholesterol production of the liver and cholesterol absorption in the intestines.
One study published in the journal Prostaglandins, Leukotrienes, and Essential Fatty Acids in 1997 found that eating 2.5 grams (g) of fenugreek twice daily for three months significantly lowered cholesterol and triglyceride levels without affecting HDL cholesterol in people with type 2 diabetes.
Another study published in the journal Food Chemistry in 2013 showed that the ethyl acetate extract of the fenugreek seeds had significant antioxidant activity and a cholesterol-lowering effect in cholesterol-fed rats.
4. Turmeric (Curcuma Longa)
You cannot mention cholesterol-lowering herbs without talking about turmeric (Curcuma longa) and its active compound curcumin, which is known to protect the body from atherosclerosis and suppress cholesterol accumulation in the blood.
Research on rabbits fed a high-fat diet suggests that turmeric can reduce LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, and also prevent the oxidation of LDL cholesterol. Oxidized cholesterol can lead to atherosclerosis.
An eight-week study published in the journal Drugs in R&D in 2008 found that curcumin was equal to, or more effective than, diabetes drugs at reducing inflammation and oxidative stress when treating high cholesterol in 72 patients.
Turmeric is a perfect spice in Indian dishes, tea, eggs, and some soups. You can also juice with turmeric, and itâs best when combined with carrots and sweet potatoes.
5. Basil (Ocimum Basilicum)
Basil (Ocimum basilicum) is a great addition to pesto and pasta sauces in Italian cuisine. It is also common in Thai, Indonesian, and Vietnamese cuisines.
Basil is also used in traditional Ayurvedic and Tamil medicine. It's part of the mint family, which also includes oregano, rosemary, marjoram, and mint.
Iâll bet you didnât know that when you are enjoying this delicious herb, you are also lowering your cholesterol levels.
Basil extract can reduce the inflammation that often causes cardiovascular disease. It does this by inhibiting the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines. This is important, since inflammation can build up fatty, cholesterol-rich plaque in the blood, and therefore increase the risk of a stroke or heart attack.
One study published in the journal Phytotherapy Research in 2006 would evaluate the lipid-lowering effect of basil extract in rats, who developed hyperlipidemia from an injection of non-ionic detergent (Triton WR-1339).
The rats given the basil extract experienced a 56% reduction in total cholesterol, a 63% drop in triglycerides, and a 68% decrease in LDL cholesterol, in comparison to a group treated with Triton WR-1339.
6. Rosemary (Rosmarinus Officinalis)
Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) is a savory herb that is part of the mint family, and popular in Italian and Mediterranean cuisines. The aromatic and sweet flavor of rosemary is great in soups, meats like chicken, and roasted vegetables.
Rosemary is also one of the better cholesterol-lowering herbs. A study published in the journal Nutrition & Metabolism in 2013 suggested that the phenolic compounds in rosemary improved antioxidant activity and weakened oxidative stress in diet-induced hypercholesterolemic rats.
Another study published in the Jordan Journal of Biological Sciences in 2011 found that rosemary leaf extract reduced LDL cholesterol, total cholesterol, and triglyceride levels while also increasing HDL cholesterol in both normal and diabetic rats.
Other research reports that polyphenols rosmarinic acid or carnosic acid derived from rosemary can inhibit LDL oxidation.
7. Guggul (Commiphora Wightii)
Guggul (Commiphora wightii or Commiphora mukul) is a medicinal herb made from the gum resin of the mukul myrrh tree. In Sanskrit, guggul is called âguggulu,â which translates to âprotects from disease.â
Some of the diseases guggul aims to protect you against include atherosclerosis and high cholesterol. The guggulsterone in guggul is responsible for the herbâs therapeutic effects.
A study published in the Journal of Dietary Supplements in 2016 found that guggul had significantly reduced total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL cholesterol, and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) while increasing HDL cholesterol, in comparison to the rabbits taking just a statin.
Human studies have also examined the effects of 50 milligrams (mg) of guggul daily, in addition to a diet high in fruits and vegetables. The guggul was found to reduce atherosclerosis and triglyceride, LDL cholesterol, and total cholesterol levels while increasing HDL cholesterol.
Although guggul is one of the few herbs on this list used as more of a supplement, it also makes a good tea for those with high cholesterol and other health ailments like diabetes or nervous disorders.
8. Alfalfa (Medicago Sativa)
Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) sprouts come from germinated alfalfa seed. These sprouts make a great addition to salads, soups, sandwiches, tortillas, omelets, and a variety of Oriental dishes.
Sprouts are considered healthier because sprouting brings out many enzymes, while they also carry more protein, minerals, and vitamins than un-sprouted seeds. As a result, sprouts like alfalfa could combat diseases, including high cholesterol.
Alfalfa sprouts may reduce lipid levels and therefore decrease coronary heart disease symptoms due to high cholesterol. A 1978 study found that alfalfa meal could reduce the negative effects of cholesterol on monkeys.
Alfalfa seeds have also been found to normalize cholesterol levels while lowering LDL cholesterol by as much as 18%. It is thought that the saponins in alfalfa block cholesterol absorption, and also prevent cholesterol formation on the artery walls.
9. Lemongrass (Cymbopogon Citratus)
Among the many herbs to lower cholesterol is lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus). Lemongrass is a herb belonging to the Poaceae grass family, and it is native to tropical regions of Asia.
Due to its distinct lemon flavor and citrusy aroma, lemongrass is often used in Asian cuisines, as well as for adding flavor to soups, teas, curries, and baked goods.
A study published in the African Journal of Biotechnology in 2007 found that lemongrass oil extract had significantly reduced cholesterol in animals with high cholesterol.
Other research suggests that lemongrass oil can greatly inhibit hyperlipidemia through maintaining normal cholesterol and trigylceride levels.
10. Oregano (Origanum Vulgare)
Oregano (Origanum vulgare) is another of the herbs to lower cholesterol. As a member of the mint family, oregano is considered to be a staple herb in many cultures throughout the world to flavor food. It has been popular since the ancient Romans and Greeks used the herb as medicine.
Oregano can be used dried, fresh, or as an oil, and all variations have significant benefits, including lowering cholesterol. A three-month study published in the Journal of International Medical Research in 2008 found that oregano oil greater reduced LDL cholesterol levels and increased HDL cholesterol levels in patients with mild hyperlipidemia, when compared to those just given lifestyle and diet advice.
Scientists believe the cholesterol-lowering effect of oregano oil is due to its phenols thymol and carvacrol.
11. Coriander or Cilantro (Coriandrum Sativum)
When you use the fresh or dried leaves of Coriandrum sativum, the herb is often called cilantro. However, dried coriander seeds are also used. Both are common in all kinds of cooking, including Indian, Middle Eastern, Chinese, Mediterranean, and Latin American.
Studies have found that both cilantro and coriander seeds have the power to reduce cholesterol levels. For instance, a study published in the Journal of Environmental Biology in 2008 found that coriander seeds had significantly reduced LDL cholesterol and increased HDL cholesterol.
How about the cholesterol-lowering effect of fresh cilantro? A study published in the Journal of Food Science in 2012 found that cilantro reduced total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides while increasing HDL cholesterol. The antioxidants in cilantro also inhibited lipid oxidation and increase activity of antioxidant enzymes in the liver.
An animal study published in the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture in 2001 also found that fresh cilantro had reduced cholesterol levels after 45 days.
12. Tarragon (Artemisia Dracunculus)
Tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus) is also among the herbs to lower cholesterol. Tarragon is a great addition to sauces, stews, omelets, and fish and chicken dishes. It has a sweet and powerful flavor that is similar to anise.
As a medicine, tarragon is also a cholesterol-lowering herb. It can promote cholesterol metabolism through the secretion of essential digestion co-factors, and this is linked to tarragonâs manganese content.
As a result, tarragon could prevent arteriosclerosis and other cardiovascular diseases. Also, since tarragon has been shown to inhibit blood platelet activation, it may also prevent aggregation of platelets on blood vessel walls, and therefore prevent stroke and heart attacks.
13. Sage (Salvia Officinalis)
Sage (Salvia officinalis), or garden sage, is another member of the mint family, and it is native to the Mediterranean. Dried sage leaves are often used to season a variety of meats and dressing.
Although mostly considered a culinary herb, sage has also been used as medicine that can help reduce high cholesterol.
The flavonoids, phytosterols, and antioxidants in sage are all thought to contribute to its cholesterol-lowering effect. A study published in the journal Phytotherapy Research in 2011 found that sage extract reduced total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, VLDL cholesterol, and triglyceride levels while increasing HDL cholesterol levels.
The results suggested that sage may be effective for treating hyperlipidemia.
14. Dill (Anethum Graveolens)
Dill (Anethum graveolens) weed can be used dried or fresh, and both are excellent to flavor dips, soups, potatoes, salads, fish, and more. This annual herb is part of the celery family, and is native to Russia and the Mediterranean.
Dill also has incredible cholesterol-lowering abilities. In a study from 2015, researchers determined that dill extract and dill tablet had reduced liver enzymes, gene expression, lipid profile, and enzymatic activity in hamsters with high cholesterol, when compared to hamsters not given dill at all.
Other research shows that dill has significantly lowered LDL cholesterol, total cholesterol, and triglycerides while raising HDL cholesterol levels.
15. Parsley (Petroselinum Crispum)
Parsley (Petroselinum crispum) is part of the celery family, which also includes dill, cumin, and anise. It is native to the central Mediterranean, and adds a fresh and somewhat peppery taste to many dishes, especially those popular in Middle Eastern and European cuisines.
Parsley has also been part of folk medicine for centuries, and has treated everything from constipation to indigestion to kidney stones. Today, parsley is also important for cardiovascular health, partly due to the presence of folate, which helps convert the amino acid homocysteine.
Homocysteine can potentially cause blood vessel damage when uncontrolled, and this may lead to stoke or a heart attack.
The antioxidants in parsley can also increase antioxidant capacity of blood vessels, and this reduces cholesterol by removing free radicals from the blood.
16. Marjoram (Origanum Majorana)
Marjoram (Origanum majorana) is another of the herbs to lower cholesterol. Marjoram is an aromatic herb from the popular mint family, which also includes basil, mint, oregano, and rosemary. Itâs available in various forms, including fresh, dried, powder, or as part of an essential oil.
Marjoram is typically used to flavor salads, soups, sauces, and meat dishes.
As a natural remedy, marjoram has many health benefits, including the potential to treat heart disease and high cholesterol Marjoram is thought to prevent cholesterol build-up by improving blood circulation and decreasing the risk of hardened arteries.
17. Cayenne Chili Pepper (Capsicum Annuum)
Many people use cayenne chili pepper (Capsicum annuum) to add a little spice to their food, yet they may be unaware that it has been used as both food and medicine for thousands of years.
The cayenne shrub first originated in Central and South America, and now thrives in tropical and subtropical climates.
Cayenne pepper may be used to treat conditions of the blood vessels and heart. It could potentially reverse excessive blood clotting, improve poor circulation, regulate blood pressure, prevent heart disease, and lower high LDL cholesterol and triglycerides.
The active ingredient in cayenne pepper called capsaicin has also been used to lower cholesterol.
Research published in the West Indian Medical Journal in 2014 included a study that found that both cayenne and capsaicin would prevent an increase in liver cholesterol while also increasing fecal excretions of free cholesterol.
For the study, rats were fed a high-cholesterol diet with or without capsaicin or ground cayenne for a seven-week period.
18. Thyme (Thymus Vulgaris)
Another one of the better herbs to lower cholesterol is thyme (Thymus vulgaris)âalso belonging to the mint family. Both dried and fresh thyme are available year-round, and they can be used in a variety of dishes, including soups, stocks, sauces, pasta dishes, marinades, and dressings.
As for its cholesterol-lowering effect, a study published in 2014 found that thyme extract reduced total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels while also increasing HDL cholesterol.
19. Anise (Pimpinella Anisum)
Anise (Pimpinella anisum) is a plant in the celery family, and it is native to Southwest Asia and the Mediterranean. The seed is often added to cookies, cakes, and tea due to its potent aroma and taste.
Anise is also revered for its medicinal properties, including its reported abilities to treat depression, regulate blood sugar, and protect against stomach ulcers. At the same time, anise seed has anti-lipidemic effects that may help it lower LDL cholesterol and triglycerides.
The fiber in anise will bind with bile salts, and this prevents the bile from being reabsorbed into the small intestine. As a result, this will reduce cholesterol levels.
20. Bay Leaf (Laurus Nobilis)
Bay leaves come from an evergreen tree that belongs to the Lauraceae family. The bay leaf (Laurus nobilis) has a distinctive and savory aroma that helps flavor soups, stews, and meats.
Among the health benefits of bay leaf is its cholesterol-lowering effect. Several studies have confirmed bay leafâs ability to lower LDL cholesterol and increase HDL cholesterol.
A 30-day study published in the Journal of Clinical Biochemistry and Nutrition in 2009 found that one to three grams of bay leaves daily could reduce total cholesterol by up to 24%, triglycerides up to 34%, and LDL cholesterol up to 40% while increasing HDL cholesterol by up to 29%.
21. Saffron (Crocus Sativus)
Other herbs to lower cholesterol include saffron (Crocus sativus). Native to Southwest Asia and Greece, this reddish-yellow spice is also thought to be the most expensive spice by weight in the world.
Recent studies also show that elements in saffron contribute to a healthy cardiovascular system. Research published in the Journal of Tehran University Heart Center in 2011 reported that saffron could lower cholesterol levels by as much as 50%.
Another study, from 2005, suggests that the active constituent crocin could lower total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglyceride levels while increasing HDL cholesterol in rats with high cholesterol.
The anti-inflammatory and cholesterol-lowering properties of saffron make it one of the better herbs for cardiovascular health.
22. Artichoke Leaf Powder (Cynara Cardunculus)
Although artichoke hearts are the most widely consumed part of the artichoke plant, the artichoke leaf (Cynara cardunculus) actually contains many of its health benefits.
Artichoke leaf extract, or powder, can be used in teas, and to flavor stews, soups, and pastas.
How is artichoke leaf able to reduce cholesterol? The cynarin in artichokes is responsible for its cholesterol-lowering effects. Artichoke leaf also contains a unique fiber that blocks absorption of cholesterol, which reduces LDL cholesterol production.
An eight-week study published in the International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition in 2013 found that artichoke leaf extract could help manage mild high cholesterol in obese people, as the artichoke leaf increased HDL cholesterol and reduced total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol.

It is essential to understand the mode I fracture toughness of rock under in situ conditions found underground, such as confining pressure, for assessment of the stability of underground rock structures. Some researchers have performed several types of fracture toughness tests of rocks under confining pressure condition. However, the ordinary fracture toughness tests do not consider the effect of confining pressure in their estimation equations. A modified estimation equation for the mode I fracture toughness of rock under confining pressure condition was suggested in this study. This study was intended for the semi-circular bend (SCB) test, which is one of the ISRM-suggested methods for determining the mode I fracture toughness of rock. The SCB test under various confining pressures from 0 to 10 MPa was performed using Kimachi sandstone. A finite element analysis of the SCB test considering several confining pressure conditions was performed to calculate the stress intensity factor. Based on the numerical simulation results, the modification of the fracture toughness estimation was suggested. Applicability of the suggested estimation was discussed with comparing the mode I fracture toughness of the rock obtained in this study and previous research.

Film Festival Honors Build Momentum for "Truly Texas Mexican"
"Truly Texas Mexican" independent documentary feature film schedule to start video streaming in March
The documentary feature film, "Truly Texas Mexican," is garnering acclaim and awards at international film festivals.
HOUSTON, TX, US, December 10, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The documentary feature film, "Truly Texas Mexican," is garnering acclaim and awards at international film festivals, and is scheduled to start video streaming in March. "We're thrilled at all the film festival honors," says Adán Medrano, the writer and executive producer of the 90-minute film about the Native American roots of Texas Mexican food.
This week the film was named "Official Selection" by the Mallorca, Spain, international film festival, "FilmsInFest," and previously the film received the same honor from the Montreal Independent Film Festival. Directed by the Uruguayan director, Aníbal Capoano, "Truly Texas Mexican" was nominated for "Best Picture" at the 25th Anniversary of the Red Nation Film Festival in Los Angeles.
Last week the film won "Best US Documentary Feature" at the New York Independent Cinema Awards.
The production team is a Latin America and Texas, USA collaboration. Along with the director, the cinematographer, Gabriel Bendahan, is also from Uruguay while Medrano and the producer, Virginia Díaz-Laughlin are both from Texas. "The story of indigenous Texas people resonates with the stories of indigenous peoples throughout the Americas, from north to south," says Capoano about the film that is based on Medrano's book by the same title, "Truly Texas Mexican: A Native Culinary Heritage In Recipes."
Styled as a road movie of discovery, the film weaves through Texas cities, naming the racism that erased Native American history and celebrating the food that kept alive the community's living memory and heritage. "Women led the cultural resistance against colonization," says Producer, Virginia Diaz-Laughlin. "They did so by cooking foods like nopalitos, deer, mesquite and tortillas. Over time and during conquest, they sustained Native American memory and identity."
The festival circuit concludes for the documentary just before it is to be distributed on video streaming services and on local PBS stations. For the next three months the film will continue on the festival circuit, and praise for the cinematography and research has been mounting.
Los Angeles author and film critic, Chon Noriega who is also the Director of the UCLA Chicano Studies Reesearch Center, says "The film is very soulful--the kind of story missing from all the cooking documentaries and series out there, except for the occasional Latino segment from Anthony Bourdain, RIP."

LONDON: Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag can boost his hopes of securing his first Premier League point against Liverpool on Monday if he dropped Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcus Rashford Red Devils legend Wayne Rooney writes in the Sunday Times.
United have opened their campaign with embarrassing defeats, Brighton recording their first ever win at Old Trafford followed by a 4-0 whipping by Brentford last weekend.
It leaves them rooted to the bottom of the Premier League for the first time in 30 years.
United host a Liverpool outfit who are also seeking their first win of the campaign following two draws against Fulham and Crystal Palace.
United and England record goalscorer Rooney says his former side requires players who run their hearts out on the pitch and neither Ronaldo nor Rashford provide that.
Ronaldo in his second spell at United has been rumoured to be seeking a move away from the club as he wants to play Champions League football.
Rashford's loss of form since playing in the Euro 2020 final last year has seen him lose his place in the England squad and there have been reports of him being linked with French champions Paris Saint-Germain.
"I wouldn't play Cristiano Ronaldo, and I wouldn't play Marcus Rashford," said Rooney.
"If I was in Ten Hag's position my main concern would be getting energy on the pitch, and United's failure to recruit a No 9 means they relied on Ronaldo against Brentford, even though he hadn't trained a lot with the team.
"He looked like he needs time to get match fit."
Rooney — who is now coaching another of his former clubs DC United in the MLS — said United should let Ronaldo leave, as at 37 he is not a player to build a potential title winning team around.
"He has also let it be known that he wants to leave the club," said Rooney.

We've got non-Mike Missanelli update news in the sports media world today! Fox Sports announced that after letting go of (firing) Jason Whitlock on FS1's Speak For Yourself, they will replace him with former ESPN analyst, Emmanuel Acho.
Small bit of HUGE news in my life!
Your boy is officially a co-host of @SFY. https://t.co/4xusId9hUB
— Emmanuel Acho (@EmmanuelAcho) June 10, 2020
It's a great move for FS1 as they are seemingly making the well overdue transition from hot take bull shit to actual analysis. Jason Whitlock's lazy journalistic niche during his time with FS1 was taking the unpopular stance race issues and baiting people into responses. He has found himself in controversies surrounding Colin Kaepeenick, Lebron James and Kobe Bryant.
I don't agree with Lavar Ball on many things, but when he said the only thing Jason Whitlock should be commenting on is snacks, that rings true to my heart.
As for Acho, this is a great get for FS1 and Fox Sports. He has recently been appearing on ESPN's Get Up as an analyst. But, he was fantastic doing college football Saturday work for the ESPN networks. Fox's investment into Acho should include incorporating him into their already improving college football coverage.
Emmanuel has also been doing an Instagram series called Uncomfortable Conversations With a Black Man. It's been pretty honest and informative for anyone in the public who doesn't form rogue militias that wander around Fishtown wielding bats during peaceful protests.
So, we say goodbye to Jason Whitlock. Can't think of a single clip he made a great point. So, I leave you with this:
Kick Rocks.

Open Heaven 5 October 2022 Wednesday Daily Devotional By Pastor E. A. Adeboye – Exposing Demonic Operations IV
Click HERE for Previous Open Heaven Devotional
Open Heaven 5 October 2022 TOPIC: Exposing Demonic Operations IV
MEMORISE: "And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great:" – Genesis 26:13 (KJV)
READ: Mark 5:25-29 (KJV)
25 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,
26 And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,
27 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.
28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.
29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Zachariah 1–6
Open Heaven 5 October 2022 MESSAGE:
A form of demonic operation – called Regression, is when the fellow tries to take one step forward, but finds himself going two steps backward. An unseen force just seems to be pushing the fellow back. This is worse than suppression because while suppression means that the fellow is staying on one spot, for regression, he or she is actually going backward.
We read about the woman with the issue of blood in our Bible text today and saw how she tried to get better, but kept getting worse until she encountered Jesus.
Also Read: Open Heaven 4 October 2022 – Exposing Demonic Operations III
Maybe you find yourself in a similar situation. Maybe as hard as you try to get out of poverty, you seem to be going deeper into it. Today, the Almighty God will deliver you from the hands of the devil in Jesus' name.
Many years ago, a very rich man and his wife had a disagreement. While they were exchanging words, she told him that by the time she was through dealing with him, he would be so poor as to have to resort to trekking whenever he had to go anywhere. He laughed at her statement because he had 14 vehicles so he didn't think there was any possibility of him trekking, but he had no idea that he was married to a witch. Before long, his finances began to dwindle. He tried and tried but he just kept regressing. He sold all his cars except one. At last, he had 50 kobo with him and he was hungry. He thought, "If I use this money to buy food, I won't have anything to use for fuel and so would trek as my wife said. On the other hand, if I use it for fuel, I would die of hunger". At this point, he ran to the Church for help. God delivered him and all that he lost was restored.
Beloved, if you have noticed that you keep going backward instead of forward, then it is likely that there is a demon causing you to regress.
Today, I decree your freedom from such demons, in Jesus' name.
Open Heaven 5 October 2022 PRAYER POINT:
Father, please destroy everything causing me to regress rather than progress, in Jesus' name.
Open Heaven 5 October 2022 HYMN 2: Conquerors And Overcomes Now Are We
1 Conquerors and overcomers now are we,
Thro' the precious blood of Christ we've victory,
If the Lord be for us, we can never fail;
Nothing 'gainst his mighty pow'r can e'er prevail.
Conquerors are we, thro' the blood, thro' the blood;
God will give us victory, thro' the blood, thro' the blood,
Thro' the Lamb for sinners slain,
Yet who lives and reigns again,
More than conquerors are we,
More than conquerors are we.
2 In the name of Israel's God we'll onward press,
Overcoming sin and all unrighteousness;
Not to us, but unto him the praise shall be,
For salvation and for blood-bought victory.
3 Unto him that overcometh shall be giv'n
Here to eat of hidden manna sent from heav'n;
Over yonder he the victor's palm shall bear,
And a robe of white, and golden crown shall wear.
