Health Benefits
Raw Superfood Bars
Most 'health' bars feature an endless list of questionable ingredients such as chemical additives, high fructose corn syrup and hydrogenated oils. These 'healthy' snacks are often high in so called 'empty' calories and low in nutrition, leaving you feeling hungry and unsatisfied.
Simply Raw bars are made of organic natural ingredients without additives, putting an end to cravings leaving you satisfied, energised, full of nutrition and healthy. Recent studies have shown that eating one Simply Raw bar per day satisfies your appetite and prevents you from overeating. Eat simply. Eat raw. Be healthy.
Why Organic
Certified Organic products are grown and processed without the use of synthetic chemicals, fertilisers, or Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO). Many pesticides approved for use by the EPA were registered long before extensive research linking these chemicals to cancer and other diseases had been established. Pesticides are poisons designed to kill living organisms and can also harm humans. In addition to cancer, pesticides are implicated in birth defects, nerve damage and genetic mutations.
Organic based ingredients have been shown in a number of studies to contain more vitamins, nutrients, more flavour and cancer-fighting antioxidants than non-organic ingredients. Our ingredients are grown in fields that are pesticide free, keeping waterways, local communities and the planet clean, as organic farmers aim towards sustainability whilst having best management of the environment and wildlife as a priority.
Sunflower Seeds
The Sunflower was highly revered by the Ancient Egyptian and for GOOD REASON! Sunflower seeds are an excellent source of vitamin E, the body's primary fat-soluble antioxidant. Vitamin E travels throughout the body neutralizing free radicals that would otherwise damage fat-containing structures and molecules, such as cell membranes, brain cells, and cholesterol.
Vitamin E has significant anti-inflammatory effects that result in the reduction of symptoms in asthma, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis, conditions where free radicals and inflammation play a big role. Vitamin E has also been shown to reduce the risk of colon cancer, help decrease the severity and frequency of hot flashes in women going through menopause, and help reduce the development of diabetic complications.
Vitamin E also plays an important role in the prevention of cardiovascular disease. Getting plenty of vitamin E can significantly reduce the risk of developing atherosclerosis. In fact, studies show that people who get a good amount of vitamin E are at a much lower risk of dying of a heart attack than people whose dietary intake of vitamin E is marginal or inadequate.
Sunflower Seeds' Phytosterols Lower Cholesterol Phytosterols are compounds found in plants that have a chemical structure very similar to cholesterol, and when present in the diet in sufficient amounts, are believed to reduce blood levels of cholesterol, enhance the immune response and decrease risk of certain cancers.
Sunflower seeds are a good source of magnesium. Numerous studies have demonstrated that magnesium helps reduce the severity of asthma, lower high blood pressure, and prevent migraine headaches, as well as reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke.Magnesium is also necessary for healthy bones and energy production. About two-thirds of the magnesium in the human body is found in our bones. Some helps give bones their physical structure, while the rest is found on the surface of the bone where it is stored for the body to draw upon as needed.
Pea Protein
Pea Protein is said to be one of the most perfect Proteins for human consumption. Our Protein Powder is made from green peas called Pisum Sativum. Peapods are botanically a fruit, since they contain seeds developed from the ovary of a pea flower. Benefits over both animal and other vegetable Proteins include:
- Ease of digestion
- Lack of allergens
- Ideal amino acids for sports
Some users find soy and other sources of Protein difficult to digest, but because of it's unique composition, Pea Protein has been found to be amongst the most digestible source of Protein available. Soy, whey, egg and animal-based protein supplements have all been shown to produce allergic reactions in some people and their potential for allergic reactions can increase with repeated use.
Peas may also be an effective way to fight high blood pressure and kidney disease, according to a 2009 Canadian study reported in Medical News Today. The researchers found that Pea Protein extracts were of more value than natural peas because of the enzymes that are used in the Protein extraction process. If you suffer from indigestion and other stomach problems you may want to try Pea Protein powder to see if you find some relief.
- Perhaps most importantly for sports enthusiasts, Pea Protein contains an ideal combination of essential amino acids for sports performance:
- Lysine, for balanced nitrogen levels in muscles
- Arginine promotes muscle metabolism and a healthy heart
- Glutamine helps restore nitrogen balance after a heavy workout
- Leucine, isoleucine and valine (branched-chain amino acids) help maintain tissues during exercise
If you are trying to burn fat and lose weight, Pea Protein is a low calorie, nutrient dense addition to your diet. It is difficult to find Paleo Protein powders that completely adhere to the guidelines of a Paleo lifestyle, but Pea Protein is as close as you can get. If you find a completely natural Pea Protein powder that does not contain GMOs or other unnatural ingredients, you can consider this type of Protein Powder an addition to your Paleo diet.
Simply Raw products are made using only organic ingredients and our Pea Protein is free of added sweetener. For more information on this topic, please check out Natural Therapy Pages for great resources on Health and Wellbeing.
Cacao is nature's top weight loss and high energy food, which is rich in antioxidants - the anti-aging nutrients (vitamins and minerals) and enzymes (proteins inside the body) that can help to prevent and repair damage to your body's tissue. A high source of Vitamin C is preserved in raw cacao, unlike heated processed dark chocolate.
Cacao contains over 300 compounds including: protein, fiber, iron, zinc, calcium and magnesium. Magnesium is a muscle relaxant associated with feelings of calmness. The sulfur in cacao also helps form strong nails and hair. Cacao contains the phenylethylamine (PEA), which is an adrenal-related chemical that we create naturally when we get excited and fall in love. It also plays a role in feeling focused and alert. Another "bliss" found in cacao is the lipid Anandamide, which increases your mood and decreases depression.
Lucuma is a nutritionally dense fruit and contains high levels of fiber, niacin, iron which improves the immune system and physical endurance, carotene, vitamin B3, and other B vitamins. Lucuma helps reduce cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood.
Nuts are not just high in minerals, copper, omega-3 and zinc, but also help lower cholesterol, protect against heart disease, and improve blood vessel function. Eating 30 grams of nuts daily can reduce your risk of heart disease.
Western diets have an intake ratio of 15 times more omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids, which can cause cardiovascular disease, cancer, and inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Higher intakes of omega-3 fatty acids or a 1:1 ratio have been shown to decrease cardiovascular disease, cancer risk, help relax blood vessels, and manage inflammatory conditions including arthritis and asthma.
Consuming more nuts and reducing the consumption of omega-6 rich foods like eggs and wheat will stabilise the fatty acid balance.The fiber in nuts normalises bowel movements, increasing colon health, maintaining bowel health, lowering blood cholesterol, helping to control blood sugar levels, and aiding in weight loss.
Nuts is also a high source of vitamin E, which has the ability to seek out and neutralize potentially damaging chemicals, in theory preventing damage to body tissues and red blood cells. Vitamin E is also essential for healthy skin, proper immune function, DNA repair, and other metabolic processes. Overall, nuts are a tasty and nutritious component of a healthy, balanced diet.
Medjool Dates
Medjool Dates are widely regarded as the "diamond of all dates" with the best quality and richest flavour. Medjool Dates are a good source of fiber and contain high levels of the essential minerals potassium, magnesium, copper, and manganese and are a good alternative to caloric desserts. In the Middle East where Medjool Dates grow wild, they are a popular food for nomadic travellers as they provide a lot of energy and healthful nutrients. These are some of the health benefits of Medjool Dates, don't forget, they are very tasty also!
One Simply Raw Bar each day keeps you healthy, energised and satisfied!

The Aam Adam Party (AAP) on Saturday added to its list of alleged 'tainted' politicians the names of Congress president Sonia Gandhi 'for perpetuating dynastic politics' and of BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi for his alleged 'politics of hatred'. Both the leaders were also accused of shielding corrupt politicians in their party.
Addressing media persons about the decisions taken in the meeting of the National Council, AAP leaders Yogendra Yadav and Gopal Rai said the party was committed to 'making politics free from corruption, criminalisation and dynastic rule' and will work for defeating in the Lok Sabha elections 'politicians who lead such politics'.
The AAP will 'match' the BJP and Congress party's Rs. 500-crore election campaign blitzkrieg by raising a team of five lakh volunteers from February 5.
However, on Saturday Union Law Minister Kapil Sibal, who figures in the list, dared Mr. Kejriwal to prove his charge failing, which the Delhi Chief Minister must resign.
Mr. Yadav said it was not the first time the party had named Mr. Sibal. The Minister had been named even when party leaders had organised a dharna in Delhi in 2013 for a Special Investigation Team to investigate charges against 15 Union Ministers. "Ahead of Lok Sabha elections we are asking janata (people) whether tainted ministers should be returned to Parliament,'' he said.
The AAP had alleged that Mr. Sibal had a "conflict of interest" in the Rs. 11,200 crore income tax dispute involving Vodafone for the purchase of Hutchinson's stake in Hutchinson Essar in 2007 as one of the company was his lawyer son's client. The Minister's son had denied the allegations, saying the last time he had appeared for Hutchinson was in 2010 when Mr. Sibal was neither the Telecom Minister nor the Law Minister.

NDRRMC on red alert for storm 'Quinta'
MANILA, Philippines — The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) continued to be on red alert on Tuesday, as tropical depression "Quinta" developed into a storm, three weeks since the alert status was raised to its highest level when typhoon Pablo slammed into Eastern Mindanao earlier this month.
"In about 22 hours, the storm will make its landfall. We don't know if it would change its course and that's why we are on red alert," Benito Ramos, NDRRMC executive director, said in a press conference at the state weather bureau office.
The death toll from Pablo has reached 1,067 and 834 people were listed missing as of Tuesday, the NDRRMC said in its latest report released on the same day. Most of the casualties are from hard-hit Compostela Valley and Davao Oriental.
Damage to agriculture, infrastructure and private properties had reached almost P37 billion, the NDRRMC said.
With "Quinta" now in the Philippine area of responsibility, the state weather bureau in its 5 p.m. update Tuesday placed more areas under storm signals.
Under signal no. 2 were:
- Eastern Samar;
- Western Samar;
- Leyte;
- Southern Leyte;
- northern Cebu;
- Camotes Island;
- Bohol;
- and Biliran in the Visayas;
- Dinagat Province;
- Siargao Island;
- Surigao Del Norte in Mindanao
Under signal no. 1 were Northern Samar, Masbate, Ticao Island, Aklan, Capiz, Antique, Iloilo, Guimaras, Negros provinces, Siquijor, and the rest of Cebu in the Visayas, and Agusan Del Norte, Agusan Del Sur, Misamis Oriental, Camiguin, and Surigao Del Sur in Mindanao.
The NDRRMC has instructed its regional and local disaster offices to evacuate people living in low-lying and mountainous areas in the first "severe weather bulletin" it issued at 5 a.m. on Tuesday.
Ramos said the NDRRMC has been on red alert since "Pablo" and has not lowered the alert level because "retrieval, search and relief operations" in the typhoon-ravaged areas were still ongoing.
Ramos said that just like with "Pablo," the military's Eastern Mindanao Command (Eastmincom) under Maj. Gen. Jorge Segovia would be at the forefront of providing assistance in areas in Quinta's path, supported by other military and police units, and the local governments.

Australia on Sunday said the attack on an Indian, who was set afire here, was not "targeted" or "racially- motivated" amid reports that two men attempting to leave the country were quizzed and had their passports seized over the killing of another youth from the community in New South Wales.
The police said there were strange circumstances surrounding the attack on 29-year-old Jaspreet Singh, who was set ablaze by a group of four men in the suburb of Essendon in northwest Melbourne on Saturday – which led them to believe that it was not racially-motivated.
The police were yet to locate the charred clothes which Singh, who received 20 per cent burns, discarded shortly after the incident.
Two men, believed to be Indian seasonal workers, were questioned in Sydney and had their passports seized at the airport after they were briefly detained in connection with the killing of Ranjodh Singh (25).
Ranjodh Singh, who recruited Indian immigrants to work on farms in the Riverina, was living in the Wagga Wagga area and visiting Griffith in New South Wales at the time of his death. His partially-charred body was found on the side of the Wilga Road at Willbriggie on December 29.
Image hit: envoy
Australian High Commissioner Peter Varghese has admitted that his country's image was hit following the recent attacks of Indians Down Under but felt that relations between the two governments were strong.
"I certainly accept that our image in India has taken a beating. I don't think that if you go through the intensity of the negative media coverage in India and not take damage," he told Karan Thapar on Devil's Advocate programme on CNN-IBN. "If the perception in India being conveyed is that Australia is an unsafe country that would surely do the damage. It worries me," he said.
Racist spin on Australian attacks worries Indians
Unhappy with the media in their native country linking a slew of attacks on Indians here with racism, many community members in Australia have complained that they now feel threatened to move around freely. They fear a backlash.
"It's not going the right way at all. We feel scared to move around alone now -- which was not the case earlier -- ever since the Indian media started giving blanket coverage to such attacks," said Yogita Garyali, who has been living here for the past six years.
She said Indians are feeling a constant threat because of the media spin.
Her friend Shiny Mehta also voiced similar concerns, saying she used to take public transport at six in the morning and as late as 11 in the night till a few months back and never had any problem.
"It was pretty safe...But now I will not commute during these hours," Ms. Mehta said.
"Law and order issue"
Another young computer engineer Amitan Naqaib said he was recently cornered by an old Australian lady in a tram and asked why he felt Australia was a racist country.
"I don't think Australia is racist, it's just a law and order situation. Indian media has exaggerated things," Mr. Naqaib felt. He said every time an incident here is reported, his parents have to be convinced that he is fine and that Australia is a safe place.
"My parents want me back. They are worried about my safety here. But I don't want to go back as I don't have any such issues," he said.
Many parents are calling their children back after the stabbing death of 21-year-old Nitin Garg made headlines. Two of Garg's friends have already decided to go back after he was killed here a week ago.
Seven years back, Melbourne was rated as the world's most liveable city by the Economist Intelligence Unit. However, this year it has been ranked number three.
In other surveys also, Melbourne is no longer in the top 10, and a rise in assaults is partly to blame, according to a media reports.
Commuters checked
On Thursday, Victorian police, for the first time, used their new powers under which they could search anyone for weapons without a warrant and checked commuters at hot-spots. They found 12 weapons, including knives and a machete.
Commuters did not complain, with most of them saying they were pleased that police were doing something to control crime.
"All we need here is strong policing," Ms. Mehta said.
"There are many examples of highly successful members of the Indian community here. Just like any other society, there are a few miscreants and malcontents," Ravi Bhatia, Prime Telecom chief, had said earlier.
"The voice of Indian students has been heard at the highest level of the country. I would request them to give government time to address their grievances," Ravi Bhatia said.
Rakhi Kaul, another Indian here, expressed her concern over the attacks and asked: "When will all this come to an end?" She said she was scared to send her two kids to school.
"In a recent write-up, Sam Varghese, an Indian-origin journalist of The Age, wrote: "A large number of minor incidents, of which the Indian community is aware, have not been reported because students are fed up with the lack of response from the police. They are also scared that reporting such incidents may lead to a backlash."
However, the Federation of Indian Students in Australia (FISA) has maintained that racism was "still alive and being reborn in a new generation."
"What is clear to those of us dealing at the coalface of this problem is that a section of Australia has embraced curry-bashing and that institutional racism in the police force and the media and political elites means Australia is ill-equipped to deal with the problem in an open, honest manner," FISA founder Gautam Gupta said.

Large misconception threatens smaller school districts
In contrast to last years budget cage match, where we saw much public outcry over proposed cuts to education (anyone remember the fuss over Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's suggestion to just take 10 percent from every area), this year's response to an even worse budget situation, has been oddly subdued.
As the parent of two elementary age children and as a volunteer member of a school district budget committee, I find this to be both disturbing and confusing. It seems that although the "idea" of education is still very popular, the "practical application," aka public schools, is now being viewed as ineffective, bloated and therefore quite able to endure even deeper budget cuts.
Oh sure, the politicians say they are "for the kids" and tsk tsk about the "unfortunate necessity" of these actions. Op-ed commentators, too, seem to have morphed from "Stand up for schools!" to "Stand up to schools!."
As I considered this strange turn of events, it occurred to me that public education as an entity is being regarded through an observational lens pointed at the largest districts, like Los Angeles and San Diego , and the accompanying set of issues that those districts have created. This paints a misconception allowing the less noticed smaller districts to get caught up in the "You don't know how to manage your money" accusations.
While making no excuses for poor decisions or budgeting in the large districts, the inference that therefore all districts must be like these (or that everything in a large district is inefficient), do the medium-to small-size districts increasingly critical harm from a funding standpoint.
There are about 6.1 million students in the public school system in California. Of those, approximately 1.38 million attend schools in the 10 largest districts. That's about 23 percent of the total. So, effectively, 77 percent (or 4.7 million) of the students don't attend schools from these districts.
To expand even further, there are more than 1,000 public school districts in California. This means that most of the districts in the state are actually small to medium sized, not large. L.A. Unified has an annual budget of about $6.5 billion and San Diego Unified about $2.2 billion. Although any funding cut will have an impact, the sheer size of these budgets literally means a better ability to absorb losses.
In contrast, the La Mesa-Spring Valley School District has a budget of about $100 million, Cajon Valley Union about $126 million, and Lemon Grove about 32 million. As with an individual household, the smaller the overall budget, the faster the reductions will cut deeply into functional operations.
One of the local superintendents told me, "We are by necessity a personnel intensive organization, so most of the budget is for people." The smaller the district, the more quickly any cuts will reach the classroom teachers. Are the 4,000 kids in the Lemon Grove School District worth any less than the 700,000 in L.A. Unified? No, of course not. But by viewing "public education" through a single lens, the diverse impact of these repeated funding cuts is literally being ignored.

When the Braves square off with the Mets beginning Friday night, they will be looking to get back at their division rivals after watching the Mets take 4 of 6 games in July, while Dan Uggla and Freddie Freeman will both be looking to extend their hitting streaks.
In the opener, Tim Hudson (10-7, 3.31 ERA) takes the mound opposite R.A. Dickey (5-9, 3.77 ERA), as Hudson is looking to continue his strong showings of late.
In his last five starts, Hudson has gone at least 7 innings, but the Braves have won just three of those starts, not giving the veteran much run support in the two losses.
Against Florida July 30, Hudson allowed 1 run on 6 hits while striking out 5 in a 5-1 Braves win. He last saw the Mets June 15, as he lasted just 4 innings, giving up 3 runs on 4 hits in a 4-0 Mets win. The previous outing against the Mets, Hudson went just 4 innings in that start as well, giving up 5 runs on 7 hits in a 6-4 Braves loss.
Dickey will be seeing the Braves for the third time this year after seeing them twice in June. The last time he saw this lineup, he lasted 4 innings while giving up 6 runs on 6 hits through 4 innings in a 9-8 Braves win. On June 5, Dickey went 8 innings, giving up just one run on 4 hits in a Mets 4-1 win. In his July 30 outing, Dickey gave up 3 runs on 6 hits through 6 innings in a 3-0 Washington win.
In Saturday's contest, Tommy Hanson (11-6, 3.20 ERA) toes the mound for the Braves, while Jonathon Niese (10-8, 3.94 ERA) gets the start for the Mets.
Hanson will be looking to bounce back against the Mets after slipping over his last four starts.
He lasted 6 innings July 31 against the Marlins, giving up 3 runs on 6 hits over 6 innings in a Braves 3-1 loss. Atlanta has split his last four starts, as he has not gone over 6 innings since the All-Star break. Hanson has seen the Mets once this year, April 17. In that start, he went 5 innings and gave up 3 runs on 5 hits in a 3-2 Braves win.
Niese will be making his third start against the Braves this season. In his June 14 outing, he lasted 6 1/3 innings, giving up 2 runs on 5 hits in a 4-3 Mets win. On June 3, he went 7 2/3 innings, giving up 2 runs on 8 hits in a 6-3 Braves win. In his July 31 start, Niese lasted 5 1/3 innings, giving up 2 runs on 8 hits in a Washington 3-2 win.
In Sunday's finale, Jair Jurrjens (12-4, 2.63 ERA) will be looking to get back to his first half ways as he opposes Dillon Gee (10-3, 3.69).
After watching the Braves win 7 of his last 8 starts, he was unable to weather the storm against the Nationals August 1, giving up 5 runs on 7 hits over 5 innings in a 5-3 Washington win. Jurrjens has seen the Mets twice this season, most recently June 14. In that outing, he gave up 4 runs on 6 hits over 6 1/3 innings in a 5-0 Mets win. He also saw the Mets his first outing of the year, throwing 7 innings of two-hit, shutout baseball in a 4-0 Braves win.
Gee will be seeing the Braves for the fourth time this year. In his most recent outing against the Braves June 15, he threw 4 innings before rain shortened his day, giving up just 1 hit before the Braves took the game, 4-0. The previous outing June 4, he threw 7 innings of four-hit, shutout baseball in a 5-0 Mets win. He also saw the Braves his first start of the year, going 5 2/3 innings while allowing just one run on 5 hits in a 3-2 Mets win. On July 29, Gee went 6 2/3 innings against the Nationals, giving up 3 runs on 4 hits in a 8-5 Mets win.
Offensively, Uggla is looking to extend his hitting streak to 26, while Freeman will be looking to remain on his heels, as he goes for 19 straight. But Uggla has struggled against Dickey, going 0-for-15 in his career against the Mets starter, including 0-for-5 this season. Freeman has one hit in 5 plate appearances against Dickey. Look for Michael Bourn and Martin Prado to set the table for the Braves 3-4-5 hitters all series long.
With the departure of Carlos Beltran to the Giants, the Braves still must slow Jose Reyes, while making sure they do not over look the rest of their lineup, including Jason Bay, David Wright, Lucas Duda and Daniel Murphy.
So far this season, the Mets hold the advantage, winning 5 of the 9 games the two rivals have played so far.

Pop Music: O.A.R.: A college-fave jam band grows up a bit
O.A.R., with Eric Hutchinson
When: Wednesday and next Thursday, 7 p.m.
Where: House of Blues, 1055 Fifth Ave., downtown
Tickets: $30-$32.50, all ages
Phone: (619) 299-2583
Online: hob.com
For most of its life, O.A.R.'s livelihood has been largely based on the devout following of college-age fans that reveled in the band's energetic jams and traded concert recordings, spreading the music to others.
"O.A.R.'s strength will always be its audience and the grass-roots movement – no PR firm or record label can beat one person going to the next and handing them a CD and saying, 'You need to listen to this,' " O.A.R. (Of a Revolution) saxophonist Jerry DePizzo said from his home in Columbus, Ohio.
Marc Roberge, Chris Culos, Richard On and Benj Gershman met and started playing music together while growing up in Rockville, Md. They all attended Ohio State University, where they met the fifth member of the band, DePizzo, who was living in the same dorm.
A jam band from a less-than-hippie area and school, they appealed to white boys with dreadlocks and frat boys with white baseball caps alike. But, like Phish or Widespread Panic, they were more celebrated for their live shows than studio albums.
All that changed last year with the July release of "All Sides," by far their most successful album. By the end of 2008, O.A.R.'s music was being featured in commercials and during college sports broadcasts, and the band was invited to play for Fox's nationwide New Year's Eve broadcast.
The single "Shattered" shot up the charts with its teen-angst-friendly chorus and vibe that is more reminiscent of the Fray than the Grateful Dead. The song quickly gained radio play, reached No. 36 on the Billboard Hot 100 and is being featured in ads for the Blackberry Storm.
While commercial success picked up momentum, critical acclaim was harder to come by.
"Too often, O.A.R. sacrifices the breezy, slightly skanked grooves that made their music keg-party-appropriate, opting for ultra-serious confessionals where they come off like a poor man's Goo Goo Dolls," Rolling Stone wrote in its review for "All Sides."
Fans posting on iTunes and the band's message board said longtime followers of O.A.R. should skip the new album because it would be a disappointment.
"As we are getting older, we are getting better at our craft," DePizzo said. "If Marc is writing a chorus, the way he wants to express himself comes out more clearly. Even with the success of 'Shattered,' it's one song and I think if you listen to the rest of that record you'll see that we stretched ourselves out in a number of ways."
With the success of "All Sides" and its singles, the jam-band junkies who used to follow O.A.R. on tour were now met with screaming fans who looked like they had gotten lost on their way to a Robin Thicke show.
"There are pockets where you can tell the single is doing really well on the radio, and the younger girls and older women are coming out," DePizzo said. "You play the opening line to 'Shattered' and people scream like you are one of the Jonas Brothers. It's nice."

Motivational speaker and leadership coach Brian Tracy offers tips on longevity in 21 Great Ways to Live to be 100.
Tracy's recipe for making it to 100 is a mix of psychological suggestions, like deciding how old you want to be, and simple-to-follow dietary recommendations. In a sensible, energetic performance, Tracy cites clinical studies to back up other suggestions like getting more sleep and driving safely. He also offers tips for implementing these ideas.
Tracy's delivery is gentle rather than forceful. Instead of bludgeoning listeners with his advice, he allows his commonsense ideas for a long life to slowly take root in the listener's mind.

Ruth Duccini
|Ruth Duccini
|Ruth L. Robinson
July 23, 1918
Rush City, Minnesota, U.S.
|January 16, 2014
(aged 95)
Las Vegas, Nevada, U.S.
Cause of death
|Natural causes
Resting place
|Mountain View Cemetery in Prescott, Arizona, U.S.[1]
|Years active
|1939, 1981
|Known for
|Last surviving female Munchkin; penultimate surviving Munchkin; last surviving female cast member; penultimate surviving cast member (The Wizard of Oz)
|Fred Duccini (1943–1994; his death); 2 children
Ruth Duccini (July 23, 1918 – January 16, 2014) was an American actress and the penultimate surviving Munchkin from the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz. Duccini was the last surviving female performer from the film. Her role in the film as a Munchkin villager was not credited. Her most recent appearances were when she and the other surviving Munchkins were presented with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on November 21, 2007,[2] and attending the premiere of the film's 75th anniversary at the Grauman's Chinese Theatre.[3] She also was seen in Under the Rainbow (1981) and Memories of Oz (2001).
While Duccini could not recall in 2013 what she earned filming Oz,[4] the Munchkin village actors were paid $125 a week during filming ($2094 adjusted for inflation).[5]
She said of her World War II work: "The one thing that I'm most proud of, during the Second World War, I worked on airplanes in a defense plant. I was a Rosie the Riveter. I'm really proud of that."[4]
When Margaret Thatcher died, those who had disliked the former British Prime Minister for so many years tried to propel "Ding-Dong! The Witch Is Dead" on the radio charts to celebrate her death. Duccini and Jerry Maren both opposed the campaign, labeling it "terrible", insisting the song was not to be used in such a way. Duccini stated that those involved "should feel ashamed".[6]
Duccini died of natural causes in Las Vegas, aged 95, on January 16, 2014.[7] As of Duccini's death, only one munchkin actor remains alive from Oz: Jerry Maren.

Fresh from having resigned his pulpit in the Second Unitarian Church, and after briefly considering becoming a botanist, Ralph Waldo Emerson decided to try his hand at philosophy. His 1836 pamphlet, Nature, contains a theory of history, an ethics, a philosophy of language, and an aesthetics. The system, if we can call it that, is a sort of Orphic pantheism. Among its teachings are that nature is a hieroglyph of our minds, that there exists an "occult relation between man and the vegetable," and that we "expand and live in the warm day, like corn and melons." The book hits its psychedelic zenith when we hear of the egoless ecstasy the philosopher feels after stepping over a snow puddle, during which he becomes a "transparent eyeball."
In giving up Nature's recondite grandeur for the moodier medium of the essay,

NVIDIA Tegra K1 Compared To AMD AM1 APUs
This weekend when publishing preview benchmarks of NVIDIA's Tegra K1 from the Jetson TK1 development board, there were numerous requests by Phoronix readers to see this high-end ARM SoC pitted against the new AMD AM1 APUs. In this article are some benchmarks of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on all of the AM1 Athlon and Sempron APUs compared to the Tegra K1 Cortex-A15 SoC.

AMD's New Athlon/Semprons Give Old Phenom CPUs A Big Run For The Money
Curious how AMD's new AM1 platform APUs compare to the original AMD Phenom processors? Wondering myself, I ran some tests showing how the Sempron 2650 and 3850 along with the Athlon 5150 and 5350 compare to the original Phenom 9500 and Phenom II X3 710 processors with RS780/RS880 motherboards. Besides the new APUs being competitive against the old hardware while costing much less than the original Phenom CPUs, their power consumption is also at a fraction of AMD's former high-end processors. Here's a brief but nice look at AMD's processing evolution in going from Phenom CPUs to today's AMD budget APUs.

AMD Athlon 5350 / 5150 & Sempron 3850 / 2650
It's been a busy past few days since AMD launched their "AM1" Socketed Kabini APUs. After the initial Athlon 5350 Linux review on launch-day, I did some tests involving a faster kernel and newer Mesa code along with some reference DDR3 memory scaling benchmarks for these APUs with Jaguar processor cores. Since then the Athlon 5150 and Sempron 3850/2650 APUs arrived. After a busy weekend of benchmarking, here's the initial Ubuntu Linux benchmarks of all four AMD AM1 APUs that are available at this time: the Sempron 2650, Sempron 3850, Athlon 5150, and Athlon 5350. With these four new AMD APUs are also a number of thermal and power consumption tests.

Florida DrupalCamp 2013 took place on April 20 and 21, 2013 at the Florida Technical College in Orlando, Florida. Attended by almost 300 people, the camp featured 42 sessions, a fantastic keynote by Ryan Szrama (rszrama), 30+ volunteers, great food by 4Rivers, and four lucky organizations who benefitted from the all-day Coding for a Cause event.
Florida DrupalCamp 2013 invited four local non-profit organizations to take part in our annual Coding for a Cause event. Held the day after the camp sessions, over 30 volunteers help with site-building, theming, and content management tasks for the lucky organizations.
This year's event focused on four local 501(c)(3) non-profits that were selected from the application process. Each selected organization was required to agree to:
Michelle Johansen (mjohansen) and Greg Dunlap (heyrocker) join Ryan Price and Mike Anello for a discussion about DrupalCon Portland. As the Content Lead (the volunteer in charge of the track chair volunteers) and the Core Conversations track lead, respectively, Michelle and Greg filled us in on all the happenings planned in and around DrupalCon Portland. We also discuss the newest "Young Global Leader", DrupalCon session recordings on YouTube, and email debugging.
We're trying something new this year at Florida DrupalCamp 2013 (Saturday, April 20 - tickets on sale now for just $25) and we're looking for some (financial) help to get it done.
Larry Garfield (Crell), leader of the Drupal 8 Web Services and Context Core Initiative (WSCCI), joins Andrew Riley, Ryan Price, and Mike Anello as they desperatly tried to stay out of the weeds during their discussion about routing, hypermedia, controllers, and REST (and somewhat fail). Along the way, we learn what Drupal developers of all disciplines and skill levels can expect from WSCCI, and why it's going to make the (Drupal) world a better place. In addition, we discuss importance of Hackathons and not over-reacting.
Greg Dunlap (heyrocker), leader of the Drupal 8 Configuration Management Initiative (CMI), joins Andrew Riley, Ted Bowman, and Mike Anello to kick off the 2nd hundred episodes of the podcast. Greg provides an excellent rundown of not only the features of CMI, but also his fund-raising efforts that allowed him to work full-time on it for seven months!
I've been on the road a lot lately, touting the opportunities that Drupal offers to workforce and economic development efforts of regions and states. Thing is, before we can get to all the advantages for regions to develop a Drupal-talented workforce, we have to educate a lot of government leaders, commissions and committees on what Drupal is and does.
The fifth annual Florida DrupalCamp is now open for registration! DrupalEasy is proud to be a sponsor for this year's FLDC as well as being involved in the planning and execution of the camp through not only myself, but also through our network of contractors and graduates from our two local DrupalEasy Career Starter Program sessions.
I recently ran into an issue on one of our projects with a Git repository that stumped me for a few days. It was a small project: only three developers committing to a single repository hosted on Pantheon. I kept on running into an issue where I (or any of the other developers) could ever get my local repository to a "clean" state.

I really enjoyed talking with Ben Strong (AMVER Relations Director) and Geoff Pagels (SAR Controller) of the USCG and walking through the whole process. I have so much respect and admiration for those guys - as I'm sure we all do.
As mentioned in the article, the USCG is working with other SAR organizations around the world, as well as with the shipping industry to move toward more standardization in equipment and training for these kinds of rescues. It's a huge undertaking as you can imagine - but they are on it.

The Battle of $9.99: How Apple, Amazon, and the Big Six Publishers Changed the E-Book Business Overnight
Andrew Albanese, my editor at Publishers Weekly, has been tracking the antitrust action the DoJ brought against the big six publishers and Apple over price-fixing very carefully, and he's written a great-looking, DRM-free ebook about it called "The Battle of $9.99: How Apple, Amazon, and the Big Six Publishers Changed the E-Book Business Overnight." Here's what he had to say about it:
It is mostly about the backstory of the case, how publishers' antipathy to $9.99 led them to what turned out to be a pretty fateful decision. It is also available in all the major e-book stores, Sony, B&N, Apple, and Amazon. Amazingly, Amazon is featuring it on their Singles home page here in the U.S.
So one note that might be of interest to you, I was surprised to learn in writing this essay how little the publishers negotiated their initial e-book retail terms back when the e-book market was just beginning. And, more to the point, that the thought they did put into e-books was all related to the negative aspects of digital: how to stop piracy, DRM, controlling unauthorized use. This is kind of where this whole legal saga begins. When Amazon came to launch the Kindle in 2007, the publishers were so focused on the bad things that digital might bring that they never really considered, hey, what if this e-book thing really works? What if this Kindle thing takes off?
Remember, at the time Amazon launched the Kindle, the publishers were stumping for the Google Settlement, so their attention was focused more on stopping the digitization and indexing of long out-of-print books that were making money for no one. As a result, they barely negotiated their initial financial terms with Amazon. Amazon officials testified that, in some cases, they just accepted the financial terms publishers had already proposed for e-books, while publishers mostly sought to address DRM, and security concerns. No one apparently stopped to ask Amazon, "Oh, by the way, how much are you planning to charge consumers for our e-books?"
It is easy to say in hindsight, but the major publishers' fear of digital piracy had kept them from considering the prospects of digital success. And, of course, all of this was exacerbated by the fact that the Kindle was a closed platform, so, the more successful the Kindle became, the more power the company had over the publishers' customer. As you once wrote, the DRM and security they'd insisted on became a whip to beat them with. Another interesting chapter in the way DRM has impacted the publishing industry.

Apple can decrypt iPhones for cops; Google can remotely "reset password" for Android devices
Apple apparently has the power to decrypt iPhone storage in response to law-enforcement requests, though they won't say how. Google can remotely "reset the password" for a phone for cops, too:
Last year, leaked training materials prepared by the Sacramento sheriff's office included a form that would require Apple to "assist law enforcement agents" with "bypassing the cell phone user's passcode so that the agents may search the iPhone." Google takes a more privacy-protective approach: it "resets the password and further provides the reset password to law enforcement," the materials say, which has the side effect of notifying the user that his or her cell phone has been compromised.
Ginger Colbrun, ATF's public affairs chief, told CNET that "ATF cannot discuss specifics of ongoing investigations or litigation. ATF follows federal law and DOJ/department-wide policy on access to all communication devices."
...The ATF's Maynard said in an affidavit for the Kentucky case that Apple "has the capabilities to bypass the security software" and "download the contents of the phone to an external memory device." Chang, the Apple legal specialist, told him that "once the Apple analyst bypasses the passcode, the data will be downloaded onto a USB external drive" and delivered to the ATF.
It's not clear whether that means Apple has created a backdoor for police -- which has been the topic of speculation in the past -- whether the company has custom hardware that's faster at decryption, or whether it simply is more skilled at using the same procedures available to the government. Apple declined to discuss its law enforcement policies when contacted this week by CNET.
It's not clear to me from the above whether Google "resetting the password" for Android devices merely bypasses the lock-screen or actually decrypts the mass storage on the phone if it has been encrypted.
I also wonder if the "decryption" Apple undertakes relies on people habitually using short passwords for their phones -- the alternative being a lot of screen-typing in order to place a call.

Apple won't fix your computer if you smoke near it
Consumerist's Laura Northrup rounds up several years' worth of stories from Apple customers who say they were denied warranty support on their computers because they'd smoked around them. As an annoying ex-smoker, I can sympathize with a tech who doesn't want to work on a machine that smells like an old ashtray, but that's what painter's masks are for -- I've also serviced machines that reeked of BO and other less savory odors. This just feels like a way to weasel out of doing warranty service and forcing customers to pay for new machines. If the company has a policy of not fixing machines if you smoke near them, it should say so when it sells you the warranty: WARNING: IF YOU LIGHT UP NEAR YOUR LAPTOP, WE WON'T EVER FIX IT, EVEN IF IT IS MATERIALLY DEFECTIVE.
Dena set up an appointment at the same Apple store. They told me that they would take pictures of the computer – both inside and out before determining whether to proceed and that if the only problem was the optical drive, they'd probably just replace it. Dena called me earlier this week to deliver the "bad news." She said that the computer is beyond economical repair due to tar from cigarette smoke! She said the hard drive is about to fail, the optical drive has failed and it isn't feasible to repair the computer under the warranty. This computer is less than 2 years old! Only one person in my household smokes – one 21 year old college student. She said that I can get it repaired elsewhere at my expense. I asked why my warranty didn't cover the repair and was told it's an OSHA violation.

What is Ian Thorpe's net worth? Ian Thorpe's net worth is $2 million dollars. Born in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, Ian Thorpe was always taller than his peers, and even though he was allergic to chlorine and had to swim without putting his head in the water, his larger size resulted in his winning many of his early swim meets anyway. After building up a tolerance to chlorine, he was able to compete more regularly. He quickly began to dominate in the pool, including winning all ten of the swimming events at the New South Wales Age Championships, and the two Bronze medals at his first Australian Age Championships in 2005. From then on, he enjoyed a meteoric rise. He has won more Gold medals than any other athlete from Australia, with five, and he has set 13 world records. After winning multiple medals at the Olympics in 2000 and 2004, and becoming the only male to medal in the 100, 200, and 400-meter events, he decided to step away from swimming. He attempted a comeback for the 2012 Olympics, but did not qualify for the team.

Hey! you've got quite a range here. Some of these are looking really loose and natural, while others look like you are tightening up and really losing the overall structure. I would just encourage you to loosen up, don't worry about the details, just draw from the elbow and get those smooth fast lines going on.
As far as color.. it takes time and practice. A little knowledge is needed, but when it all comes down to it, just paint paint paint. Really, it comes down to YOU having your own understanding of how light and color play, and being comfortable with whatever medium to translate those colors to the canvas. That only comes with lots and lots of practice. So, I would say, if you're in the mood to play with color, capitalize on that mood and just play with it as much as you can.

You have line quality that I dream about. Keep up the amazing work!
On painting: I'm a total beginner, but I can tell you one thing, and that is always work from large brush to small brush. The painting exercise above looks way too busy, and it doesn't simulate the real tones of the leg. A bigger brush will help you keep consistency without going nuts.

Nice, it seems that you're practicing, also your animals are better than other things. If you want to improve on anatomy, I would recommend watch some anatomy books, proportionts, figure, and that kind of stuff, and then draw from real life or sometimes with photo reference. It helps a lot!
Anyways, keep going mate !

Ich mag wie du deine Gesichter zeichnest, du kriegst das gut hin sie sehr plastisch und authentisch wirken zu lassen Dem digitalen Portrait fehlt aber eindeutig Kontrast. Hab außerdem keine Angst, auch mit harten Pinseln zu arbeiten, um mehr definierte Kanten zu bekommen und den "Airbrushy" Look zu verhindern - wobei sich das in dem Fall noch in Grenzen hält. Hast du eigentlich ein Tablett?
Man, um deine selbstsicheren Linien und Schraffuren beneide ich dich echt

Smith scores 40 as USI tops 100 in another win
Eagles cruise again behind career day for Smith
On Friday night, Jamar Smith went to the gym.
It had been a tough day for the University of Southern Indiana senior guard, who learned an older cousin had died after a long battle with cancer.
"I had a loss in my family and I came right up here," Smith said. "I was up here shooting for an hour and the feelings came out."
On Saturday afternoon, Smith was just plain feeling it, scoring a career-high 40 points as the Eagles, ranked 10th in Division II, beat Illinois-Springfield 110-68 at the PAC Arena.
Even for the sublime-shooting Great Lakes Valley Conference's scoring leader, this one was different. "Unbelievable," coach Rodney Watson said. "Special. It's not like you can get tired of talking about him."
Smith made his first six shots including 11 consecutive points to put USI (12-0, 3-0 Great Lakes Valley Conference) ahead 17-2 early, as well as his final five shots to finish the day 12-of-14 from the field and 8-of-10 on 3s. It was the second best single-game total in the program's history behind only Chris Bowles' 45-point game in 1991, and was the most ever scored at PAC Arena.
It, Smith said later, meant a lot, for a lot of different reasons.
"It kind of gave me a chance to not think about anything, just play the game," he said, adding that Friday's news: "Fueled it."
That Smith took that news and went straight to the gym is no surprise; it's Smith who organizes games of 1-on-1 or 3-on-3 before practice, who shoots around at halftime of the women's games while waiting to play, and who can't seemingly get enough of the game he loves.
"Basketball is kind of like a safe-haven for me," he explained. "That's what the game's meant to me ever since I was younger."
It might not get old for Smith, but it surely did for the Prairie Stars (4-4, 1-2) on Saturday as the Eagles topped 100 points for a school-record fifth consecutive game. It certainly wasn't only Smith.
"Having the teammates I have on this team," he said, "that's the biggest thing."
But even they're conscious of Smith's ability. "He does some things you hardly ever see pros do," point guard Kevin Gant said.
Gant scored a career-high of his own, finishing with 14 points along with Tyrone Bradshaw and Jeron Lewis, who also added a game-high eight rebounds.
With Smith on the verge of cracking 30 early in the second half, Watson called a play for his star shooting guard, only to have him try to switch it to a play for junior Nick Duncheon.
And Smith might have saved his most athletic play for on the bench after the last of his 30 minutes, when he performed a spinning leap after watching a Brandon Hogg layup near the end of the game.
"My teammates," Smith said, "they're there for me. We're a family."
Smith didn't want to let them down, even when he had his family back in Peoria, Ill., on his mind.
"I talked to them and made sure they were all doing OK," he said. "They all told me to go out and play my game. When my family's good, I'm good."
Assured that they were in fact OK, Smith decided to play. And on Saturday, he was great.
The Eagles return to action on Monday, hosting St. Joseph's (6-5, 0-3), which lost 102-92 at Kentucky Wesleyan on Saturday.

Our team knows the whole network end to end — from cloud, mobile, and fixed networks to devices, services, and applications. And we incorporate this knowledge into our CEM software, which is purpose-built for these network environments. We make it easier for you to take care of complex technology with a more self-managing, self-correcting, and self-tuning operation than you've ever had before.
We can also work together to achieve specific CEM goals to optimize and automate your business and network operations.
Today, there are more than 600 Motive CEM solution deployments worldwide where we are helping to redefine the customer experience. Check out our case studies to see our work in action.
