As we get older, it's time to face the facts: our skin will age over our entire body. However, the aging process is much more noticeable on our face, as it is the focal point of every single personal interaction (not to mention selfie) you will take throughout your advancing years. Over-exposure to the sun, which can result in dryness, droopiness and over growths, can be tough to treat. Sunspots and hyperpigmentation of the skin are other undesirable effects of aging. Sure, over-the-counter…Continue

Another glorious day of rain in London. Week 27, 13 weeks to go and things are becoming more real to me at long last. I think that I just about feel pregnant! Now being the time that my (once) petite 5'1 and a half(!) frame has an extremely large protrusion jutting out from the front, it's no surprise really. It's funny how obsessed with weight and size we are. I really thought that when I became pregnant that I would almost be like a different person. That I would change, grow up and just…Continue

Between July 2011 and mid-2012, a severe drought affected the entire East Africa region.[7] Said to be "the worst in 60 years",[8] the drought caused a severe food crisis across Somalia, Djibouti, Ethiopia and Kenya that threatened the livelihood of 9.5 million people.[6] Many refugees from southern Somalia fled to neighboring Kenya and Ethiopia, where crowded, unsanitary conditions together with severe malnutrition led to a large number of deaths.[9] Other countries in East Africa, including Sudan, South Sudan and parts of Uganda, were also affected by a food crisis.[8][10][11][12]
According to FAO-Somalia, the food crisis in Somalia primarily affected farmers in the south rather than the northern pastoralists.[13] On 20 July, the United Nations officially declared famine in two regions in the southern part of the country (IPC Phase 5), the first time a famine had been declared in the region by the UN in nearly thirty years.[14][15] Tens of thousands of people are believed to have died in southern Somalia before famine was declared.[14]
Although fighting disrupted aid delivery in some areas, a scaling up of relief operations in mid-November had unexpectedly significantly reduced malnutrition and mortality rates in southern Somalia, prompting the UN to downgrade the humanitarian situation in the Bay, Bakool and Lower Shabele regions from famine to emergency levels.[16] According to the Lutheran World Federation, military activities in the country's southern conflict zones had also by early December 2011 greatly reduced the movement of migrants.[17] By February 2012, several thousand people had also begun returning to their homes and farms.[18] In addition, humanitarian access to rebel-controlled areas had improved and rainfall had surpassed expectations, improving the prospects of a good harvest in early 2012.[16]
By January 2012, the food crisis in southern Somalia was no longer at emergency levels according to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).[19] Although security restrictions precluded the collection of updated information in December/January for a few regions in southern Somalia, the UN indicated in February 2012 that indirect data from health and relief centers pointed to improved general conditions from August 2011. The UN also announced that the famine in southern Somalia was over.[20] However, FEWS NET indicated that Emergency (IPC Phase 4) levels of food insecurity persisted through March in the southern riverine parts of the Juba and Gedo regions, the south-central agropastoral zones of Hiran and Middle Shebele, the southeast pastoral sections of Shebele and Juba, and the north-central Coastal Deeh on account of crop flooding and ongoing military operations in these areas, which restricted humanitarian access, trade and movement.[21] The UN also warned that, in a worst-case scenario of poor rains and price instability, conditions would remain at crisis level for about 31% of the population in limited-access areas until the August harvest season. In the most-likely scenario, the FSNAU and FEWS NET expected the April–June rains to be average. Ameliorated food security outcomes were also expected on account of the start of the Deyr harvest, which reached 200% of the post-war mean and was predicted to be significantly higher than usual. With the exception of some coastal areas, the abundant rainfall in most parts of central and northern Somalia replenished pastureland and also further boosted the purchasing power of local herders. With the benefit of the current harvest expected to ebb in May, the UN stressed that continued multi-sectoral response was necessary to secure the gains made,[22][20] and that general humanitarian needs requiring international assistance would persist until at least September 2012.[23]
Aid agencies subsequently shifted their emphasis to recovery efforts, including digging irrigation canals and distributing plant seeds.[20] Long-term strategies by national governments in conjunction with development agencies were said to offer the most sustainable results.[24]
Weather conditions over the Pacific, including an unusually strong La Niña, have interrupted seasonal rains for two consecutive seasons. The rains failed in 2011 in Kenya and Ethiopia, and for the previous two years in Somalia.[7][25] In many areas, the precipitation rate during the main rainy season from April to June, the primary season, was less than 30% of the average of 1995–2010.[26] The lack of rain led to crop failure and widespread loss of livestock, as high as 40%–60% in some areas, which decreased milk production as well as exacerbating a poor harvest. As a result, cereal prices rose to record levels while livestock prices and wages fell, reducing purchasing power across the region.[27] Rains were also not expected to return until September of the year.[7] The crisis is compounded by rebel activity around southern Somalia from the Al-Shabaab group.[11]
The head of the United States Agency for International Development, Rajiv Shah, stated that climate change contributed to the severity of the crisis. "There's no question that hotter and drier growing conditions in sub-Saharan Africa have reduced the resiliency of these communities."[28] On the other hand, two experts with the International Livestock Research Institute suggested that it was premature to blame climate change for the drought. While there is consensus that a particularly strong La Niña contributed to the intensity of the drought, the relationship between La Niña and climate change is not well-established.[29]
The failure of the international community to heed the early warning system was criticized for leading to a worsening of the crisis. The Famine Early Warning Systems Network, financed by U.S.A.I.D., anticipated the crisis as early as August 2010, and by January 2011, the American ambassador to Kenya declared a disaster and called for urgent assistance. On 7 June 2011, FEWS NET declared that the crisis was "the most severe food security emergency in the world today, and the current humanitarian response is inadequate to prevent further deterioration".[30] The UN later announced on 28 June that 12 million people in the East Africa region were affected by the drought and that some areas were on the brink of famine, with many displaced in search of water and food.[31] Oxfam's humanitarian director Jane Cocking stated that "This is a preventable disaster and solutions are possible."[32] Suzanne Dvorak, the chief executive of Save the Children, wrote that "politicians and policymakers in rich countries are often skeptical about taking preventative action because they think aid agencies are inflating the problem. Developing country governments are embarrassed about being seen as unable to feed their people. [...] these children are wasting away in a disaster that we could—and should—have prevented."[33] Soon after a famine was declared in parts of southern Somalia. Oxfam also charged several European governments of "wilful neglect" over the crisis.[34] It issued a statement saying that "The warning signs have been seen for months, and the world has been slow to act. Much greater long-term investment is needed in food production and basic development to help people cope with poor rains and ensure that this is the last famine in the region."[35]
On 20 July 2011, the UN declared a famine in the Lower Shabelle and Bakool, two regions of southern Somalia.[14] On 3 August, famine was further declared in the Balcad and Cadale districts in Middle Shabelle as well as the IDP settlements in Mogadishu and Afgooye in response to data from the UN's food security and nutrition analysis unit.[27][36] According to the UN, famine would spread to all eight regions of southern Somalia in four to six weeks due to inadequate humanitarian response caused both by ongoing access restrictions and funding gaps.[27] The Economist also reported that widespread famine would soon occur across the entire Horn of Africa, "a situation...not seen for 25 years".[32]
According to Luca Alivoni, the head of FAO-Somalia, the food crisis in Somalia has primarily affected farmers in the south rather than the northern pastoralists since farmers often stay behind on their land plots to "protect their crops", while herders move with their livestock to pastureland.[13]
On July 20, 2011, staple prices were at 68% over the five-year average,[37] including increases of up to 240% in southern Somalia, 117% in south-eastern Ethiopia, and 58% in northern Kenya.[26][33] In early July, the UN World Food Programme said that it expected 10 million people across the Horn of Africa region to need food aid, revising upward an earlier estimate of 6 million. Later in the month, the UN further updated the figure to 12 million, with 2.8 million in southern Somalia alone, which was the most affected area. On 3 August, the UN declared famine in three other regions of southern Somalia, citing worsening conditions and inadequate humanitarian response. Famine was expected to spread across all regions of the south in the following four to six weeks.[27] On 5 Sep, the UN added the entire Bay region in Somalia to the list of famine-stricken areas.[38][39] The UN has conducted several airlifts of supplies in addition to on-the-ground assistance,[40] but humanitarian response to the crisis has been hindered by a severe lack of funding for international aid coupled with security issues in the region.[14][41][42] As of September 2011, 63 per cent of the UN's appeal for $2.5 billion (US) in humanitarian assistance has been financed.[25]
The crisis was expected to worsen in the following months, peaking in August and September, with large-scale assistance needed until at least December 2011.[43] Torrential rains also exacerbated the situation in Mogadishu by destroying makeshift homes. Tens of thousands of southern Somalia's internally displaced people were consequently left out in the cold.[44]
In addition, the Kenyan Red Cross warns of a looming humanitarian crisis in the northwestern Turkana region of Kenya, which borders South Sudan. According to officials with the aid agency, over three-fourths of the area's population is now in dire need of food supplies. Malnutrition levels are also at their highest.[45] As a consequence, schools in the region have shut down "because there is no food for the children".[46] About 385,000 children in these neglected parts of Kenya are already malnourished, along with 90,000 pregnant and breast feeding women. A further 3.5 million people in Kenya are estimated to be at risk of malnutrition.[47]
In August 2012, an estimated 87,000 people in the Taita-Taveta District of Kenya were reportedly affected by famine, a situation attributed to a combination of wildlife invasions and drought. Large herds of elephants and monkeys overran farms in the district's lowland and highland areas, respectively, ruining thousands of acres of crops.[48] Local residents, about 67,000 of whom were receiving food aid, also accused the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) of intentionally moving the monkeys to the district. However, this was denied by the KWS.[48]
Food shortages have also been reported in northern and eastern Uganda. The Karamoja region and the Bulambuli district, in particular, are among the worst hit areas, with an estimated 1.2 million Ugandans affected. The Ugandan government has also indicated that as of September 2011, acute deficits in foodstuffs are expected in 35 of the country's districts.[49]
Although fighting disrupted aid delivery in some areas, a scaling up of relief operations in mid-November had unexpectedly significantly reduced malnutrition and mortality rates in southern Somalia, prompting the UN to downgrade the humanitarian situation in the Bay, Bakool and Lower Shabele regions from famine to emergency levels. Humanitarian access to rebel-controlled areas had also improved and rainfall had surpassed expectations, improving the prospects of a good harvest in early 2012.[16] Despite the re-imposition of blocks by the militants on the delivery of relief supplies in some areas under their control, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) reported in January 2012 that the food crisis in southern Somalia was by then no longer at emergency levels.[19] Although security restrictions precluded the collection of updated information in December/January for a few regions in southern Somalia, the UN indicated in February 2012 that indirect data from health and relief centers pointed to improved general conditions from August 2011. The UN also announced that the famine in southern Somalia was over.[20] However, FEWS NET indicated that Emergency (IPC Phase 4) levels of food insecurity would persist through March in the southern riverine parts of the Juba and Gedo regions, the south-central agropastoral zones of Hiran and Middle Shebele, the southeast pastoral sections of Shebele and Juba, and the north-central Coastal Deeh on account of crop flooding and ongoing military operations in these areas that have restricted humanitarian access, trade and movement.[21]
The UN also warned that, in a worst-case scenario of poor rains and price instability, conditions would remain at crisis level for about 31% of the population in limited-access areas until the August harvest season. In the most-likely scenario, the FSNAU and FEWS NET expect the April–June rains to be average. Ameliorated food security outcomes are also expected on account of the start of the Deyr harvest, which reached 200% of the post-war mean and is predicted to be significantly higher than usual. Except for the Juba region, where damage from flooding and limitations on trade have kept cereal prices high, the above average harvest has led to a substantial drop in overall cereal prices in the south's vulnerable regions. This has resulted in more agricultural wage labour opportunities for underprivileged agropastoral households and increased the purchasing power of pastoralists. With the exception of some coastal areas, where a little under 95,000 pastoralists have yet to recover their herd sizes from the drought and consequently still require emergency livelihood assistance (IPC Phase 4), the abundant rainfall in most parts of central and northern Somalia has replenished pastureland and also further boosted the purchasing power of local herders. With the benefit of the current harvest likely to ebb in May, the UN stressed that continued multi-sectoral response is necessary to secure the recent gains made,[22][20] and that general humanitarian needs requiring international assistance would persist until at least September 2012.[23]
According to the Sudan Crop and Food Security Assessment Mission (CSFAM) for January 2012, due to supbar cereal production and increased cereal prices caused by intense conflict that has limited trade, humanitarian and population movements, an estimated 4.2 million people in Sudan are predicted to be in the Stressed (IPC Phase 3), Crisis and Emergency levels during the first three or four months of 2012. The number was previously estimated at 3.3 million people in December 2011, and is expected to especially affect the South Kordofan, North Darfur and Blue Nile states. Below average cereal production and a trade blockade imposed by Sudan have also extended food insecurity in South Sudan, with the northern and northeastern sections of the nation expected to be at Stressed and Crisis levels through March.[21]
Aid agencies have now shifted their emphasis to recovery efforts, including digging irrigation canals and distributing plant seeds.[20] Long-term strategies by national governments in conjunction with development agencies are believed to offer the most sustainable results.[24]
By 15 September, more than 920,000 refugees from Somalia had reportedly fled to neighboring countries, particularly Kenya and Ethiopia.[50] At the height of the crisis in June 2011, the UNHCR base in Dadaab, Kenya hosted at least 440,000 people in three refugee camps, though the maximum capacity was 90,000.[51] More than 1,500 refugees continued to arrive every day from southern Somalia, 80 per cent of whom were women and children.[52][53] UN High Commissioner for Refugees spokeswoman Melissa Fleming said that many people had died en route.[54] Within the camps, infant mortality had risen threefold in the few months leading up to July 2011. The overall mortality rate was 7.4 out of 10,000 per day, which was more than seven times as high as the "emergency" rate of 1 out of 10,000 per day.[9][55] There was an upsurge in sexual violence against women and girls, with the number of cases reported increasing by over 4 times. Incidents of sexual violence occurred primarily during travel to the refugee camps, with some cases reported in the camps themselves or as new refugees went in search for firewood.[53] This put them at high risk of acquiring HIV/AIDS.[37] According to UN representative Radhika Coomaraswamy, the food crisis had forced many women to leave their homes in search of assistance, where they were often without the protection of their family and clan.[56]
In July 2011, Dolo Odo, Ethiopia also hosted at least 110,000 refugees from Somalia, most of whom had arrived recently. The three camps at Bokolomanyo, Melkadida, and Kobe all exceeded their maximum capacity; one more camp was reportedly being built while another was planned in the future. Water shortage reportedly affected all the facilities.[37]
According to the Lutheran World Federation, military activities in the conflict zones of southern Somalia and a scaling up of relief operations had by early December 2011 greatly reduced the movement of migrants.[17] By February 2012, several thousand people had also begun returning to their homes and farms.[18]
In July 2011, measles cases broke out in the Dadaab camps, with 462 cases confirmed including 11 deaths.[11] Ethiopia and Kenya were also facing a severe measles epidemic, attributed in part to the refugee crisis, with over 17,500 cases reported in the first 6 months.[57][58] WHO statistics put the number of children that were then most at the risk of measles at 2 million.[58] The epidemic in Ethiopia may have led to an measles outbreak in the United States and other parts of the developed world.[58] The World Health Organization stated that "8.8 million people are at risk of malaria and 5 million of cholera" in Ethiopia, due to crowded, unsanitary conditions. Malnutrition rates among children in July also reached 30 percent in parts of Kenya and Ethiopia and over 50% in southern Somalia,[26][28][59] although the latter figure dropped to 36% by mid-September according to the Food Security and Nutrition Analysis Unit.[60] Doctors Without Borders (Médecins Sans Frontières) was also treating more than 10,000 severely malnourished children in its feeding centers and clinics.[61] In July 2011, the UN's food security and nutrition analysis unit announced that the situation in southern Somalia then met all three characteristics of widespread famine: a) more than 30 percent of children were suffering from acute malnutrition; b) more than two adults or four children were dying of hunger each day for every group of 10,000 people; and c) the population had access to less than 2,100 kilocalories of food and four liters of water per day.[36] In August, cholera was suspected in 181 deaths in Mogadishu, along with confirmed reports of several other outbreaks elsewhere in Somalia, thus raising fears of tragedy for a severely weakened population.[62] In mid-November, the office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) also announced that 60 cholera cases, with 10 lab-confirmed and one fatality, had hit the Dadaab refugee camp in northern Kenya.[63]
By early December 2011, the UN's OCHA bureau announced that a scaling up of relief operations had resulted in an improvement in global and severe acute malnutrition rates as well as a decrease in mortality rates in southern Somalia's conflict zones relative to the start of the drought crisis in July/August. Although acute malnutrition rates remained much higher than median global acute malnutrition (GAM) and severe acute malnutrition (SAM) rates for the October–December season, global acute malnutrition rates had fallen from 30-58 percent to 20-34 percent and severe acute malnutrition rates in turn dropped from 9-29 percent in July to 6-11 percent. The mortality rate likewise declined from 1.1-6.1 per 10,000 people per day in July/August to 0.6-2.8 per 10,000 people per day.[4] Despite some gaps in aid delivery in certain areas due imposed Islamist bans, the Food Security and Nutrition Analysis Unit (FSNAU) also reported that its Nutrition Cluster had by December reached 357,107 of the estimated 450,000 children that had been acutely malnourished at the start of the crisis in July.[23]
In July 2011, the head of United States Agency for International Development, Rajiv Shah, stated that the drought may worsen the security situation in the region. "This is happening precisely in a part of the world that our Defense Secretary Leon Panetta just said is a critical part of our fight against terrorism and our overall international security. It just underscores the deep link between food security and national security."[28] Armed herders are violently competing for dwindling resources. In Kenya alone more than 100 herders have been killed.[32]
Fears of the Al-Shabaab insurgents, who control most of southern Somalia, continue to hinder humanitarian operations in the region. "We need significantly better access than we have at the moment to address an emergency of this scale."[14] UN agencies are "in a dialogue" with al-Shabaab about securing airstrips in areas under the insurgent group's control to deliver aid.[64] The United Nations World Food Programme is considering a return to southern Somalia, from which it withdrew in 2010 after threats from the rebel group Al-Shabaab. It estimates that there are 1 million people in areas it cannot currently access.[41] In early July 2011, Al-Shabaab announced that it had withdrawn its restrictions on international humanitarian workers, and that all aid organizations will be allowed in.[65]
However, on 22 July, the group stated that the ban on certain organizations remains in place.[66] In a statement, Al-Shabaab's spokesman Sheikh Ali Dhere indicated that his organization had no issue with allowing "Muslims and non-Muslims to help the drought affected people", but that they will "only be permitted to work if they do not have other interests". He stated that banned agencies belong to two categories: some that are acting as spies, while others, including the UN, that have "a political agenda, doing nothing like what they were claiming". He also criticized aid agencies that are providing assistance in neighboring countries, stating that "They are luring needy people with food in order to teach them their Christianity." Hassan Liban, a director of the British charity Islamic Relief which has managed to gain access through negotiations, said that Al-Shabaab were not keen on emergency relief that was not tied to longer-term programmes to help people recover their livelihoods. He stated that "To any organisation that just wants to send food, they say: 'Give us the food and go away'. But if it's sustainable and planned they will allow you to work."[67]
Al-Shabaab members have allegedly intimidated, kidnapped and killed some aid workers, leading to a partial suspension of humanitarian operations in southern Somalia.[68] Ethiopia and the UN also accuse the Eritrean government of backing the insurgents.[69] On 28 July, African Union peacekeepers launched a major offensive against Al-Shabaab militants in northern Mogadishu, Somalia, in an effort to protect famine relief efforts from attacks. Six were killed during the conflict, and key territory was seized from the insurgents.[70][71] Al-Shabaab has sent 300 reinforcement fighters to Mogadishu in the preceding days, according to Lt. Col. Paddy Ankunda, spokesman for the AU peacekeeping force in Somalia. He stated that "This action will further increase security ... and ensure that aid agencies can continue to operate to get vital supplies to internally displaced."[70] As of 1 August, the beginning of the Ramadan, the African Union offensive in ongoing. However, AU intelligence sources said that the insurgents are planning a counteroffensive during the month of fasting.[72]
On 6 August 2011, Reuters reported that the Transitional Federal Government's troops and their AMISOM allies managed to capture all of Mogadishu from the Al-Shabaab militants. Witnesses reported Al-Shabaab vehicles abandoning their bases in the capital for the south-central city of Baidoa. The group's spokesman Sheikh Ali Mohamud Rage described the exodus as a tactical retreat, and vowed to continue the insurgency against the national government. Observers have also suggested that the pullout may at least in part have been caused by internal ideological rifts in the rebel organization.[73]
On 4 July 2011, the Prime Minister of Somalia Abdiweli Mohamed Ali appointed a national committee to tackle the severe drought affecting the southern part of the country. The committee consists of several federal-level members of government, including the Ministers of Defense, Health, Interior, Finance, Public Works, Women's Affairs and Information. It is tasked with assessing and addressing the needs of the drought-impacted segments of the population.[74]
On 13 August, Prime Minister Ali also announced the creation of a new 300-man security force in response to discussions with UN officials about the situation in Mogadishu. The UN stated earlier in the week that aid was only reaching around 20% of the drought-affected peoples, with most of the famine-stricken areas still controlled by Al-Shabaab rebels. Assisted by African peacekeepers, the new military unit will have as its primary goal to protect convoys and food aid, as well as to secure the IDP camps themselves when the relief supplies are being distributed. Besides helping to stabilize the city, the new protection force is also tasked with combating looting and banditry in addition to other vices.[75]
On 16 August, Neela Ghoshal, an official with Human Rights Watch, told Reuters that her group had received complaints of government soldiers robbing civilians.[76] However, Voice of America reported earlier in the month that, according to witnesses at a camp in Mogadishu, men dressed as government troops began stealing food rations, after which point government soldiers that were guarding the supplies opened fire on the looters. In response to the incident, the Somalian government forces Commander General Abdikarim Dhengobadan denied that his men were responsible for the looting.[77] The Information Minister of Somalia Abdirahman Omar Osman and the AMISOM commander Paddy Akunda have also previously accused Al-Shabaab militants of disguising themselves as Somalian government soldiers before attacking government and AMISOM positions.[78] Despite this, according to the UN, the security situation in the capital has generally improved since the withdrawal of Al-Shabaab militants, thus facilitating the scaling up of relief efforts in the region.[75]
On 13 October 2011, two women from Spain employed as aid workers with Doctors Without Borders at the Dadaab refugee camp were kidnapped by gunmen. The U.N. temporarily suspended all non-lifesaving aid operations at Dadaab.[79] The Spanish branch of Medecins Sans Frontieres (Doctors Without Borders) announced that all 49 expatriate staff working for the charity would be evacuated to Nairobi, leaving 343 local staff members in Dadaab. Certain activities such as registering new arrivals and journeying outside camp to meet refugees walking the final miles would be suspended.[80] In December 2011, three Somali aid workers were also shot and killed in the central Somalian town of Mataban. Two of the workers were UN World Food Programme employees and the third worked for a partner organization. The gunman turned himself in to the local authorities.[81]
In October 2011, a coordinated operation between the Somalian military and the Kenyan military began against the Al-Shabaab militants, who are alleged to have kidnapped several foreign aid workers and tourists inside Kenya.[82][83][84] According to the Ethiopian Foreign Minister, the mission represents one of the final stages of the Islamist insurgency.[85]

Humanitarian agencies have requested US$2.48 billion to address the crisis, but as of 1 August have secured less than half that amount. The European Union announced it would provide €5.67 million to help millions of people in the Horn of Africa affected by the drought.[54] On 16 July, the UK government pledged £52.25 million, on top of £38 million pledged earlier that month and more than £13 million raised by the Disasters Emergency Committee.[87] As of 25 August, the amount raised by the Disasters Emergency Committee had increased to £57 million.[88] Australia announced at the end of July that it would supply an additional $20 million, thereby increasing the total aid volume to $80 million.[89] As of 5 October, the Canadian government and people also contributed about $142 million CAD to the relief efforts in Eastern Africa, with the Canadian authorities pledging an additional $70 million CAD in matching funds.[90][90] Much of the fundraising done from Canadians was contributed to the Humanitarian Coalition who distributed to its 5 partners. Over C$14 Million dollars was raised by the Coalition.[91]
In late August 2011, Saudi Arabia announced that it would donate $60 million in aid to the drought-impacted peoples in Somalia and urged the Al-Shabaab militants to cease their hostilities so as to facilitate the delivery of relief materials.[92] Iran dispatched multiple convoys of humanitarian supplies and $25 million[93] to the famine-stricken parts of the country,[94][95][96][97] with Lebanon sending its first consignment to Mogadishu over the same period.[98] Despite experiencing financial difficulties, Palestinians in the Gaza Strip also assisted in the relief efforts. Imams in mosques raised awareness about the drought crisis and its parallels with the Palestinian situation, and urged Palestinians to contribute; the Arab Doctors Union Gaza branch also launched a fund-raising initiative, with most donations coming from affluent entrepreneurs and local NGOs.[99] Additionally, Bahrain donated $3 million to the campaign,[100][101][102] with Jordan,[103][104][105] the United Arab Emirates,[106][107][108] Kuwait,[109][110][111][112] Egypt,[113][114] Algeria,[115][116] Qatar,[117][118] and Sudan also sending supplies.[119]
Elsewhere, Turkey dispatched multiple aid convoys to Somalia, working closely with the Somali Red Crescent Society to deliver the materials to the drought-stricken parts of the country.[120][121][122][123] China also donated $16 million to the relief efforts,[124] with Venezuela sending $5 million,[125][126] Russia contributing $3 million,[127] and Kazakhstan adding $500,000.[128][129] In addition, Azerbaijan[130] and Indonesia have assisted in the humanitarian campaign,[131][132] with Malaysia dispatching aid workers on site.[133]
The U.S. has pledged an additional $5 million to help refugees from Somalia on top of a previously budgeted $63 million for general support in the larger East Africa region.[134] However, the U.S. has withheld aid from the Somalia region, due to recent regulations which prevent the sending of food aid that risks "materially benefiting" designated terrorists, in this case the rebel group Al-Shabaab.[14] The regulations came into force after reports that Al-Shabaab was "taxing food convoys", and as a result U.S. aid spending in Somalia has dropped from $150 million to $13 million this year.[14] Mercy Corps has stated that "The aid effort will remain totally inadequate if legal restrictions force the US to remain on the sidelines".[14] In addition, under U.S. regulations, international organizations may face prosecution under US law if their humanitarian aid materially benefits Al-Shabaab. However, on 2 August, the United States announced that it would no longer prosecute humanitarian organizations who attempt to enter rebel-controlled territory.[135]
On 12 July, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called an urgent emergency meeting with the heads of UN agencies. He stated after the meeting that immediate action must be taken to prevent the crisis from deepening. According to Ban, "The human cost of this crisis is catastrophic. We cannot afford to wait."[54] On 13 July, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees began a "massive" airlift of aid supplies to the Dadaab region in Kenya, including 100 tonnes of tents to help relieve the congestion at the overcrowded Dadaab camps.[136] The United Nations carried out its first airlift of emergency supplies in two years to southern Somalia on Wednesday, 13 July. Health kits are also being sent through land routes. Among other measures being taken by aid agencies are the distribution of cash vouchers to residents, and discussions with traders to freeze rapidly increasing food prices.[64]
The UN's declaration of famine has been its first since the 1984–1985 famine in Ethiopia, when over a million people died.[14] Under international law, there is no mandated response which must follow from an official declaration of famine. However, it is hoped that the use of the term will serve as a "wake-up call" to the rest of the world, who have so far failed to respond.[14] The UN humanitarian coordinator for Somalia, Mark Bowden, stated that UN agencies lack the necessary capacity to save the lives of hundreds of thousands of drought-affected people from Somalia,[34] and that nearly $300 million in relief supplies are required over the next two months.[35]
On 27 July, the UN World Food Programme announced that it had begun an airlift of food to Somalia. Ten tonnes of food were delivered to Mogadishu, with plans to expand delivery to southern Somalia where millions remain inaccessible, and may be too weak to cross the border into neighbouring Kenya. Delivery of food to the region remained complicated by the refusal of al-Shabaab militants to allow certain foreign aid agencies to work in the country.[40][68]
On 25 Aug, a much delayed African Union summit raised $51 million of direct aid, some of which were perhaps announced before, along with an additional $300 million from the African Development Bank to be spent over a four-year period. The African Union is, however, a young organization with little humanitarian experience.[137]
On 30 Aug, the UN refugee agency announced that the furniture corporation IKEA would be making a $62 million donation (42.8 million euros) over three years to expand the overcrowded Dadaab refugee complex in Kenya. The company CEO was quoted as saying that this donation will "immediately make a difference" in thousands of lives.[138] In September 2011, during the UN General Assembly in NYC, USAID and the Ad Council launched the agency's first ever Public Service Awareness Campaign called FWD, an acronym for Famine, War and Drought. The Campaign encourages the public to "Forward the Facts" about the campaign to help raise awareness.[139][140] In early Oct. 2011, the ONE Campaign unveiled a public service message in which celebrities appear to be cursing and then the message says that famine is the real obscenity.[141][142]
Fifty-six African artists and celebrities, including Nameless, Angélique Kidjo, 2face Idibia, Hugh Masekela, Freshlyground and K'naan, as well as international campaigners, sent a letter to a special UN session on the horn of Africa crisis scheduled for Saturday 8 Oct.[143] [144]
In Sept. 2011, Rajiv Shah, head of U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), stated "We're trying cash distributions through the hawala system and through mobile phones and then concomitantly flooding border markets with food so that traders can then make the connections."[145] Somalis in the diaspora have likewise routinely sent money to drought-affected relatives at home through the informal money transfer system.[146] Part of this funding stream experienced a potential setback in December 2011, when Sunrise Community Banks, a U.S. financial institution that wires the transfers for many of the hawalas, announced that it might discontinue the service on 30 December due to overly strict government security regulations. Somalian and American federal officials as well as representatives of the transfer companies have worked together closely to resolve the issue, with the CEO of the Sunrise Community Banks indicating that "from a risk perspective, we are making progress, and I am optimistic that we are on the right path to get to a solution".[147] Kenyan expatriates have similarly availed themselves of mobile phone services to send funds to their own drought-impacted family members in Kenya.[148]
In early 2012, the Turkish government ramped up its existing humanitarian and developmental efforts in southern Somalia. In coordination with the Somali authorities, it mobilized Turkish governmental organizations and NGOs to build new hospitals, a new relief center, and a tent city for remaining IDPs, which is scheduled to be converted into apartment flats. These and other proactive efforts have reportedly helped set in motion a rapid local recovery.[149][150]

|I need advice on tables. I have searched the boards and see quite a bit of information on displays, canopies etc, but can anyone give me any advice on what tables they use and/or their construction. I am thinking of plywood on saw horses with a nice table cloth maybe an L shape, but I am wondering about dimensions and sturdiness. It will have to fit under a 10x10 canopy. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

|In my experience, the plywood, while providing versatility, will warp and/or sag. I've found that unless it's supported along the edges, you can wind up with a pile of broken pots and smashed flowers. It's also relatively heavy and unwieldy--not to mention splinters. You'll have to be careful about fitting it across the sawhorses so that a bump won't unsettle it. You can provide braces and runners, but I've found folding tables work best for me, the kind where the legs fold up underneath, like you see in a school cafeteria, church fellowship hall, whatever.
Wal-Mart, Sam's, OfficeMax have them. For used ones, you might check with your church, school, or local community center. Sometimes they have damaged tables that only need a little repair, or they're just beat up and don't look nice anymore. I found mine at an 'as-is' outlet for furniture seconds for a fraction of their original cost because the boys who were supposed to assemble them had put the plastic bags of screws for each table into a box together and then had misplaced the box. We had enough spare and extra screws at home to finish them.

|I Have the type tables Grass is talking about but they have sturdy plastic top so if it gets wet there is no call for worry.(you can get them at sam or Lowes . They are lighter than the pressed wood type . I get get them in and out of the truck my self.
I usually have them L shaped (2 tables) or u shaped (3 tables). I also use boxes or boards to make a shelves on the back of some of the tables so I can have 2 levels and things are easily seen and I can get more on one table.
I spread the table cloths over the top of shelves and boxes
I had rather have 1 really full table than three almost empty . So set up for me depends on how much I have that week.
|We have been using sawhorses for years to display our plants. They work fine.

|We also use the plastic top folding type tables. I put two together, back to back and add two fold up risers that my husband built towards the back of each table...makes for 4 levels of selling space. This gives your customers room to walk around them and yet enough space to set up a smaller table for packaging your sales.

|Used to use a plywood top with banquet table legs but two years ago Lowe's had the table Grass and the others are talking about on sale so we bought two.
Use them in a 10x 10 display easily, could have 3 such tables in a 10x 10 space in the shape of a "U".
If you don't have a lot o space in your truck or are a small person they do make fold up table that fold out to I believe 6' length. But the cost twice as much as the non folding plastic topped banquet tables

|I am making mine from saw horse brackets where everything disassembles down to a pile of sticks. I am the only one loading and unloading and although I would like it to be quick my back tells me to keep it light. All boards are under 6 feet. Saw horses are the legs; 6 foot rails (2by4's) slide into notches and support the top surface; plants are brought in wooden totes that fit onto the rails making a table of boxes; tote boxes also provide different heights above and below the table. Boxes' long surfaces are painted with chalk board green paint and prices and info is written in chalk. Does it sound easy - it isn't. But I have about a month to refine it. Good luck
|At the market I sell at 350 vendors have every sort of table setup you can imagine. Since Sam's Club and others started selling those lighter weight folding tables many people have been using those. But those tables take up a lot of room on a small truck. More room than I can spare and still get all the plants or produce on. So I still use the apple crates and boards I've used for setting up for 29 years. 10 quart size plants or four gallon size short plants or a half bushel basket of hot peppers will fit in a crate and I can stack the crates. Or I can stack two crates and use the boards to make shelves for taller plants. I have a pickup with a 42" cap and the whole thing is packed solid. Everyone is amazed how much can get on the truck.
I have a 20' X 20' space and set up a table across the front. Sometimes in the spring when I have lots of small plants I set up more tables in back. Bigger plants get put right on the ground.
Table cloths were a disaster. Twice little kids grabbed them and pulled my stuff off the table. Very few vendors at my market use table cloths and in my travels across the USA and other countries I seldom see them used. With the nice new tables available from Sam's I see no need to cover them.
I've had competition show up with fancy tables and they put their produce in fancy wicker baskets and intended to let people pick out what they wanted and put it in little bags, and they had lots of pictures etc. But none of those vendors lasted more than one season. Most only a couple weeks. I know there are a lot of cute little markets nowadays and it's a nice little hobby for the buyers and the vendors. But at a big busy market it hardly pays to get too cute. Just give them what they want: top quality at a good price and plenty of information and answers to their questions, verbally and printed.
This photo was taken in pepper season. In the spring and summer I sell herb plants on the table and the rest of my space is full of perennials, roses, succulents etc.
|I just want to say thank you for the great responses. I am now more confused that ever, but better informed!! Elrem2002, I had seen this photo before on a search I was doing on displays, but I forgot about it. Thank you for posting the photo.
|I love this topic! Under the cutting forum there is a thread called booth displays and I put some pics there and some of the others did too.
I too vary my display depending upon the flowers I have each week. But, I bring my 2 plastic topped folding 5' tables, a narrower 4' table, my collapsable vase stand, and my folding "bucket stand," and use milk crates (the old sturdy ones) covered with 5' boards and then covered with green sheets to look better. My van has a shelf that spans most of the van (one section in the front is open floor to ceiling) which carries the buckets of flowers in the milk crates on top(so they don't tip over), and the various display items and my canopy fit under the shelf.
I try to keep my displays at 5' or under lengths because then I know two of them will fit a length of canopy! Most markets/fairs here allocate 10'x10' spaces. In your booth design don't forget to leave space for you and a chair! I have a small folding stool with a back (got it at Rite-aid for $5) that is great for things I can't reach and to rest if there's time! Also, everything you use needs to fit in your vehicle and not be too heavy if you need to carry it any distance at all! And don't forget to use your verticle space too.

|as we begin to think about market 2006 this seemed like another thread to revisit. Anyone got anything new to add?
- Posted by trianglejohn z7b NC (email@example.com) on Fri, Jan 20, 06 at 14:56
|By the end of the summer I had made enough extra money to go out and buy the plastic topped folding tables and retire my wooden contraptions. My only complaint is that I wish they were adjustable in height. I bring my plants to the market in plastic bulb crates now and the combined height makes it hard for short shoppers to see everything. I grow the plants in the bulb crates which are also stackable so loading and unloading and arranging is pretty streamlined.
My biggest problem is shade - the portion of the market where I set up can be very windy at certain parts of the day so canopies tend to blow over. I bought a 10 by 10 shade cloth for dog kennels but have yet to figure out a way to install it over my space (9 by 15). Even though a lot of my plants enjoy the full sun they drink way too much water during the day and I can't leave to get water when there are customers ready to buy - so keeping things shady seems like the best solution.
I also learned that my customers didn't really want hand outs - they wanted the full name of the plants and then they would go home and research the plants themselves. This is relief, no more long hours spent on handouts.

In 2005, Switzerland's premier photo institution, the Musée de l'Elysée (www.elysee.ch) in Lausanne, celebrated its 20th anniversary by organizing an exhibit called Regeneration: We are all photographers now, which showcased the rise of amateur photography in the digital age and its inevitable mutation into its own full-fledged art form.
The museum looked at the work of those using digital cameras, as well as cell phone cameras and webcams. It is considered to be the first show to look at the way high tech is revolutionizing photography. Originally, the exhibit was presented both at the museum and (no surprise here) online. It then traveled to places like London and, believe it or not, Fort Collins, where it is right now.
The Colorado version of the show is called Regeneration: 50 Photographers of Tomorrow and is being presented at the Fort Collins Museum of Contemporary Art (201 South College Avenue, Fort Collins, 1-970-482-2787, www.fcmoca.org), where it's been installed in the large mezzanine gallery and in the smaller space on the third floor.
The diplay brings together an international cast of participants, and though the idea behind the effort has to do with the increasing role of hobbyists in the medium, many of the included artists have photographic or art educations, and so are actually professionals, even if they use the same point-and-click methods as the self-taught artists.
Given the intentions of the show's organizers at the l'Elysée, there's no real theme; instead, the digital prints are meant to survey a wide range of approaches. Nonetheless, enigmatic figure studies — people set in unlikely situations — seem to dominate. A good example is Bianca Brunner's "Limbo 5" (pictured), a color digital print depicting a young woman in a fancy dress walking away from the camera in waist-deep water. It's hauntingly beautiful and has a vague otherworldly quality. Brunner, a Swiss artist, is one of the biggest names in the show.
Regeneration closes July 12.

Gold Slips Back After Fiscal Cliff Euphoria
Gold mine supply to increase
Kitco News reported that gold-mine supply is set to increase in 2013, with a number of large-scale start ups likely, according to analysts. The precious metals news outlet quoted one analyst saying that gold-mine supply could increase 4.3 percent, from 80.5 million to 83.9 million ounces this year. New projects adding to supply include Rio Tinto's (LSE:RIO,NYSE:RIO,ASX:RIO) Oyu Tologi's copper-gold complex in Mongolia, Detour Gold's (TSX:DGC) Detour Lake project in Ontario, Canada, and the Pueblo Viejo mine in the Dominican Republic — a joint venture between Barrick Gold (NYSE:ABX,TSX:ABX) and Goldcorp (TSX:G,NYSE:GG).
Colombia eyes "green gold"
Colombia — whose renaissance as a gold-mining nation has come at the expense of having a high number of illegal miners — this week showed progress by encouraging small-scale, "artisinal" miners to extract gold using techniques other than mercury, which is harmful to human health and the environment. The World reported that a movement called Oro Verde (Green Gold) is becoming popular in the Northern Colombian department of Choco. Miners who produce gold using natural methods, such as balsa tree leaves instead of chemicals, receive a 15-percent premium over the international price from from an organization called Fairtrade and Fairminded Gold.Company news Egyptian gold producer Centamin (TSX:CEE,LSE:CEY) had its gold exports suspended by the country's customs authority Wednesday due to claims that the company has yet to receive approval from the petroleum ministry. It's the second time in two months that Centamin has had its exports suspended. It was forced to halt production in October and December due to a dispute with the Egyptian government over diesel fuel supply and gold exports. South African bullion producer Harmony Gold (NYSE:HMY) said Wednesday that it will keep its Kusasalethu gold mine shut down while it reviews the operation. Kusasalethu stopped producing in December after violence at the mine erupted following the suspension of 578 workers, who were participating in an illegal strike. According to Harmony, the company has lost 25,000 ounces due to the stoppage, reported Fox Business News.

The prequel for the Liar Game, written and illustrated by the same Kaitani Shinobu. Actually, only two chapters (the opening one and the new one-shot Liar Game: Roots Of A #2) deal with Akiyama's backstory; the others are a two-shot that deals with a fortuneteller and the rest are simple one-shot chapters. The non-Akiyama stories are not part of the main Liar Game story.Akiyama's chapter revolve around him and a few other classmates (all of them top of the class) at Teito University trying to complete an assignment for Professor Yukiya Okabe's criminal psychology class. They need to create a detective profile for a person based on their letter that Professor Okabe found. With such limited information, this profile needs to be complete, accurate, and correct, unless the students want to be forced spending their summer attending his lectures...The other stories deal with the fortuneteller Asuka Kiryu, while the rest involve Cool Loser Minoru Shibura whose only redeeming talent is skill with darts and his struggle with the staff at Green Mountain Starlight Park, a Dating Service Disaster episode, and even a chapter for the author's dog.
Liar Game: Roots of A provides examples of the following tropes:

Hello- first day ever on PP- questions
I am Pat and this is my first real attempt at weight loss.I was always thin until about age 45 then started gaining until now I have 40 lbs to lose at age 55. I have also been diagnosed as hypothyroid just recently and am now on 3 grains of Naturethyroid. In fact I went through a depression at age 43 and got down to 103 lbs. That is not to bad at 5 2" but was low for me. My normal weight is about 120 but since I am 55 I would be happy at 130 or 140:) I am now at 170 and I can't believe I am here!. I never ever counted calories or even thought about how much I ate- but I was never a junk food eater at all. I really have struggled with this whole thing because I thought I was eating really good- ya know whole grains, raw milk, Nourishing Traditions style.
I really struggled with which diet to do- felt Atkins was to limiting for me and I have the Sally Fallon Eat Fat Lose Fat but felt that was not going to work for how much I have to lose.
I do plan to add in the coconut oil- does anyone else add it to their tea or hot drink and does it help with loss and thyroid?
I have the main Protein Power book and have coming the 30 day and Lifeplan too. I have read parts of these and they seem really sound. I am having a little trouble today knowing what to eat when I am hungry between meals. I had a Jay Robb scoop (1 carb) and 1 cup coconut milk (1 carb) does that sound doable?
Most of the recipes in the Protein Power seem to be aimed at a higher carb level than I need to be at right now. I am trying to do about 5 to 7 carbs with meals and a couple with 2 snacks- how does that sound to those who have succeeded?
Today here is what I had (goofed on the blueberries and had 1/2 instead of 1/3)
**** Breakfast- 2 eggs with a little cream tiny bit of sauteed onion and pepper, 2 slices bacon, 1 oz cheese, 1/2 cup blueberries, coffee and cream, stevia
****Lunch- cheeseburger with salad (greens, radishes) with vinegar and olive oil
**** Snack Jay Robb shake with coconut milk
**** Dinner (maybe chicken sauteed in some butter and salad again)
Probably need another shake for sleep - or I wake up with restless legs.
Thanks !
Hi Pat,
I think your menu from today looks good. PP is my "spine" plan, but I adapt and keep my carbs a bit lower (closer to Atkins induction levels) and I am liberal with my fat. I've lost 14.4 lbs since 1 Jan. Not the most weight lost in 5 weeks, but not bad. I'm satisfied, overall.
Of the Eades books, I like the first one the best of all. I just downloaded Why We Get Fat (Taubes) from iTunes and it is fantastic. I think it is quite complimentary to PP.
Anyway, I'm no expert, but I wanted welcome you! :welcome:
Thanks for the welcome- I have 2 brothers in the Dallas/Plano area. I do like Gary Taubes also so I will check out that one also. I see your wife homeschools- I homeschool my 15 year old daughter too. Congratulations on the loss!!! That is great. I just want to get down to a comfortable weight that is healthy to spend with my hubby of 38 years :) If I could lose 2 lbs a week I would be happy. Do you ever use any protein powders? I am also a believer in good fats- how do you add them in beside the obvious methods of cooking?
Hey, Pat,
How long have you been homeschooling? I'm in my 18th year of teaching my my kids. My oldest two (sons) are homeschool grads serving our country in the Army, just like their dad did. Our middle daughter, #4, will be 15 this spring. I can't wait. :D
I'm a few years behind you at 45, but my youngest son was born when I was 40, too! I love being an older mom. (of course I loved being a young mom and an in-betwee mom!)
I occasionally use protein powder. I like the EAS whey protein, chocolate flavor. When I have a shake with that, I use cream.
For fats, besides cooking in it, I am generous with mayo, butter (cook with it, add it to oopsie rolls, drown veggies in it), cream in my coffee, cream whipped up just for a treat, I use sour cream, eat cheeses and I eat fried hamburger everyday. I love burgers! I don't eat much chicken or pork and stick with lots of beef as it's a bit fattier. I bought coconut oil, but I've not used it yet in anything. Not sure why. I've just never used it ~ it seems weird as I associate coconut with sweet.
Anyway, enough yacking from me. My family wants food!!!!
have a great evening!
Hey cool, I have homeschooled my kids too. Anyway, Pat, welcome to PP and LCing. I think you'll like it. I too tend to use it and Atkins simultaneously but today for example, I added a tbl of starch to my almond fried chicken--between the 8 pieces, it added less than a carb per piece. I have almost been over 30 carbs the entire week--but have still lost. So, my plan it to TRY to stick as possible to 30, not go over 2000 calories and start my exercise soon. I find that fat helps me too--but it horrifies my husband. Anyway, to each his/her own.
Good luck everyone--seems we're only a few here but I too find a great deal of help on the main board. :D
Hi and welcome.
To answer your questions:
I think your plan looks good. I do better with fewer carbs and breakfast, if I have blueberries, I have them at dinner.
For snacks, I go with no protein, just fat. So, that would be coffee with cream and a cinnamon stick and sweetener, or hot water with a cinnamon stick with butter. If I am at work, I use coconut oil in the coffee, but it isn't as good. If you don't have protein or carbs for snacks, your body won't release insulin to deal with the protein, so you will have more of an opportunity to burn fat.
RE: coconut oil will help you get into ketosis faster. I don't know that it really does anything more than that, but it should help as ketosis is useful to knock out your appetite. I can't really tell. Some people make coconut bark for snacks. You can check for recipes. I've done it, but it doesn't really grab me, I like the coffee--it's filling.
I don't know what the shakes are you are referring too.
I liked Protein Power as a starting point; Atkins induction was too restrictive for me and put me off low carb. After 2 failed attempts, I didn't try it again for 10 years.
Good luck!
Hi Pat,
Good luck! PP is such a livable diet once you get the hang of it. I agree your menu looks good.
I usually eat almonds as a snack - 2 gm/ ounce which is around 30 nuts. And the key to not needing to snack is to have adequate fats in your diet.
Most importantly, drink your water! It has a number of beneficial effects, not the least of which is helping curb appetite.
Thanks BWYA
Extra fat- good idea :)

**** I appreciate the info on the fat as I never thought of protein causing a insulin response. Most of my fat is in my abdomen so that I am sure is important. I use coconut oil in my tea- and I could probably get through anything if I could have coffee with cream!! I am glad to know coconut helps in that way also (ketosis). I really try as much as possible to eat naturally/ clean

The Jay Robb protein powder has 1 carb and is made with milk whey that has not growth hormone- it helps when I don't know what else to do right now- the first day I think I spent too much time worrying about it for sure- probably normal.

[FONT="Arial Black"][/FONTWell I have waited long enough thinking that when I started my thyroid meds my metabolism would kick into gear- not so :( All my other friends are doing WW and now with their new plan you can eat all the fruits you want- sounds great but I know it will not work- everyone I see is eating bananas all the time. I am the only one of my group eating this way. It is a little lonely. They all know LC works but don't think they could eat this way.
I hope to have some results soon to show it works for real and can be done long term:)
Thanks RDBhan on the suggestion on almonds & the welcome and Lucky for the welcome and helps. I know this board is a little quieter than the other boards but I will check back from time to time. Can any of you give me a few menu plans you guys use that have helped with loss?
My menu for today:
B - flax seed meal "oatmeal" with peanut butter and cinnamon (4 net carbs), 1/2 sausage, and 2 oz ham (all tolled 4 net carbs, roughly 35 gm protein)
Snack - 1.5 ounces roasted almonds (3 gm carbs)
L - 2 cups lettuce, 2 tablespoons cream ceasar dressing, 4 oz shredded chicken thighs (3 gm carb net, 28 gm protein)
Dinner - 5 oz fresh spinach sauteed with garlic and olive oil (1-2 carbs) and 8 oz grilled chicken breast (haven't decided how to season it yet) 28 gm protein
Fluid: 4 cups of coffee with half and half and liquid sucralose (4-5 carbs)
5-6 L of water (yes!)
Altogether around 20-25 gm of carb and well above my 75 gm protein target.
Hope it helps.
hsmum, I'm not sure about the amount of hwc... a "glug" or two??? I don't know when I'll use the protein again, but I"ll try to remember to measure when I do.
Here is my menu for today.
Please note my plan is more restrictive than yours--there is no need to skip breakfast. I am doing this because of difficulties I have losing weight due to insulin resistance.
= = = =
B: Coffee with cream and cinnamon stick
L: Meatloaf made with 1/5 real avocado guacamole (mix 1 package of Costco guacamole (the refrigerated kind) with with 4 eggs, then mix into 3 packages of Duhram ground buffalo, last 5 minutes bake with LC ketchup on top), almond butter balls (almond butter mixed with equal amount kerrygold butter, a little coconut flour, a little davinci's SF vanilla syrup, make balls, roll them in unsweetened cocoa)
D: Chopped chicken mixed with butter and heated, then tossed on a bed of cold spinach greens, slice of Kerrygold cheese, heaping teaspoon of blueberries.
S: same as breakfast, alternating coconut oil/coconut cream
If you are interested, you can review my plan in the Century club--I am a daily weigher there and post menus or what I am cooking in a menu thread. It has been changing as I am influenced by recommendations here on the board--posts by Auntie EM and Fawn especially have been helpful.
oatmeal recipe?
[QUOTE=RDBhan;14366022]My menu for today:
B - flax seed meal "oatmeal" with peanut butter and cinnamon (4 net carbs), 1/2 sausage, and 2 oz ham (all tolled 4 net carbs, roughly 35 gm protein
Is the recipe for the "oatmeal" in the recipes section of the LCF? or how do you make yours?
Great ideas to add to my collection!
1/4 cup ground flax seed meal, 1/4 tspn cinnamon, 2 tablespoons peanut butter, and 1/2 cup boiling water (and splenda and vanilla are optional, but make it taste better). Thickens nicely and has the consistency of oatmeal.
14 gm protein, 4-5 gm carbs depending on which peanut butter you use.
Thank you so much! I am already getting a little tired of eggs :) In the last 3 days I am down 2 1/2 lbs- I know it is mostly water but my belly is flatter! Nice :)
Keep up the good work!
Great job on the weight loss HSMUM!
I know what you mean about the eggs. I was reading Peter at Hyperlipid--he eats just the egg yolks, it's actually much easier to eat eggs this way, and the Omega 3 eggs are like taking vitamins - they have vitamin D too. He eats 6 egg yolks, I will eat 4 cooked in butter (I try over easy, but some of them end up a bit scrambled).
Here is what I do with the egg whites left over:
4 egg whites
1 cup almond flour
1/3 cup butter (slightly melted)
1 level teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
mix, pour out well-spaced circles of the batter on parchment paper, bake 350 for 20 minutes.
Heh, this was supposed to be a recipe for "biscuits" but I am not a very good cook--they came out flat (I put everything in the cuisinart instead of "folding gently" or whatever you're supposed to do), so they came out flat. My daughter took one taste and squealed, "They taste like pancakes!" so we got out LC syrup (the LC Walden Farms pancake syrup on netrition is fantastic! and it doesn't have sorbitol, which I can't tolerate).
You just look at the carbs for the 1 cup of almond flour and divide by out by however many servings...I can't remember, I let my daughter and husband have most them anyway.
I'm thinking of stocking these in the fridge as buns.
Those pancakes look good--and I could use a good hamburger bun. Right now, I'm using the cauliflower pizza crust molded into small circles to use as buns.
But I have a question.....I grind my own almonds--with the skin. Is this the same as almond flour or something different?
Have you tried Cleo's recipe for oopsies? Make good hamburger buns. I have trouble folding in the egg whites sometimes but otherwise they're easy.
I would use roasted, not raw, almonds if making your own.
I have the grain blade for the vitamix, I'm just not sure I could deal with the noise or stop it in time before it turns into almond butter. I may try it sometime.
Hmmm, never thought about roasting them first. I just do it with raw nuts. I have a vitamix too--love it. But, I only processed about 1/2 c at a time with a regular food processor. Sometimes, if I only want a few spoons, I use a coffee grinder. I was too tired to try to pancakes though--may do it tomorrow. :)
Oh, I have made my own peanut butter though--it's great and easy to make. I used the vitamix in the past but I have an older model with a spout at the bottom--so it was hell to clean it. I just use my coffee grinder for that too and make about 1/4 c at a time.
There are some great ideas here!
I like oopsie rolls a lot. the last time I made them I realized too late that I hadn't folded all of the yolk mixture in properly. FRUSTRATING, but they turned out fine.
A friend of mine is going out of town today to buy some food at a health food store. She can get bulk almond flour and is going to pick some up for me. I've never used it before, but I'm pretty excited about it. I'm trying to get my family eating much more lc. Gary Taubes book did it for me. They all may not have the same metabolic problems I have, but I want to keep it that way!
Hope y'all are having a fantastic weekend!

The caster angle is not adjustable on the Toyoya Echo. The only repair is to determine which part or parts are either worn or damaged. The other two measurements to be concerned about are camber and toe (both of these will cause premature tire wear)

The ADG719 is a monolithic CMOS SPDT switch. This switch is designed on a submicron process that provides low power dissipation yet gives high switching speed, low on resistance, and low leakage currents.
The ADG719 can operate from a single-supply range of 1.8 V to 5.5 V, making it ideal for use in battery-powered instruments and with the new generation of DACs and ADCs from Analog Devices, Inc.
Each switch of the ADG719 conducts equally well in both directions when on. The ADG719 exhibits break-before-make switching action.
Because of the advanced submicron process, −3 dB bandwidths of greater than 200 MHz can be achieved.
The ADG719 is available in a 6-lead SOT-23 package and an 8-lead MSOP package.
The ADG719-EP supports Military and Aerospace Applications.PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS

Saturday, Oct. 12, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- Food stamp debit cards are working again after they stopped working due to a systems failure Saturday, according to Xerox Corp.
A spokesperson from the vendor said Xerox's Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) system went down following a routine test of back-up systems.
All 17 states that use the system were affected by the outage including Alabama, California, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Mississippi, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas and Virginia.
U.S. Department of Agriculture spokeswoman Courtney Rowe underscored that the outage was not related to the government shutdown.
Xerox released the following statement Saturday night:
"Beneficiary access to programs such as SNAP, TANF, and other programs has been restored to the 17 States where Xerox provides EBT service. Re-starting the EBT system required time to ensure service was back at full functionality. Beneficiaries who required immediate access to their benefits could work with their local merchants who could activate an emergency voucher process where available.
We appreciate our clients' patience while we resolved this issue and apologize for any inconvenience. We realize that access to these benefits is important to families in the states we serve. We continue to investigate the cause of the issue so we can take steps to ensure a similar interruption does not re-occur."
