Your AAA card is issued for your personal use. It entitles you to service at any AAA office in the

You will receive an itemized dues statement prior to your annual membership expiration date. Your AAA membership will be cancelled if renewal dues are not received within 60 days past your membership expiration date (the "Renewal Period"). Your AAA membership services will continue during the Renewal Period. If you do not renew your membership within the Renewal Period, you will be billed (or not reimbursed) for the AAA services you receive during the Renewal Period. After the Renewal Period, your cancelled membership may be subject to a $15 reinstatement fee and your membership year will commence on the date the membership is renewed. Dues, once paid, are not refundable during a membership year, as they are allocated to the various costs of providing our services and benefits. By renewing your AAA membership, you agree to the terms and conditions of membership stated in the current Member Benefits & Services Guide.
To make renewal more convenient and to avoid the possibility of a lapse in membership coverage, you may choose to have your membership automatically renewed each year. Automatic renewal is a service provided for VISA, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover cardholders. This option eliminates the inconvenience of check writing, postage costs, and check fees. For information, call (952) 927-2567 or sign up online.
The AAA membership card covers only the individual named on the card. Use of the card by a non-member to obtain AAA services will result in termination of the membership.

Review details of our Privacy Policy statement
Your AAA Minneapolis membership card carries with it the protection of 24-hour Emergency Road Service (ERS), backed by a fleet of service vehicles in the Twin Cities and throughout the nation.
As one of more than 55 million members, you have access to the vast resources of the world's largest auto club. More than 13,000 Emergency Road Service facilities throughout the country are ready to serve you.
ERS is exactly what the name implies – an emergency service rendered by official ERS centers who are under contract with AAA. It is not a substitute for maintenance or repair. Rather, this valuable service is designed to help you, our members, through any unexpected problems you may have with the vehicle in which you are driving or riding.
ERS is available 24 hours a day to assist you if your vehicle becomes disabled, provided your vehicle can be safely reached from a normally traveled road or established thoroughfare. AAA will tow you to the responding ERS facility or to a destination of your choice, up to five (5) miles in any direction from the vehicle's point of disablement. We cannot guarantee, however, that all ERS facilities stock parts and are equipped to service and repair all makes of automobiles, or that repairs can be made after business hours or on weekends.
Because several AAA Plus, AAA Premier, AAA Plus RV, and AAA Premier RV benefits expand upon those offered in the regular membership package, they are explained after each description of the basic ERS benefits in this handbook.
AAA Plus, AAA Premier, AAA Plus RV, and AAA Premier RV coverages are effective upon receipt of your permanent upgraded membership card or 14 days from date of payment.
NOTE: AAA Minneapolis reserves the right to amend service rules and regulations with notice in Live | Play| AAA Magazine, our Club's publication.
AAA members are entitled to service on any vehicle they may be driving or riding in as a passenger at the time of vehicle breakdown. Service follows the member, not the vehicle, including when the member is driving or riding in a rental car. Non-members are not eligible for service.
AAA is a member-sponsored and supported organization. Please remember that members may not use their card to obtain service for a non-member.
ERS applies to four-wheel, motor-driven passenger, pleasure or recreational-type vehicles (vans, campers, and motor homes) provided services can be safely delivered. Altered vehicles are normally not covered for towing.
Dual-wheel, unloaded pickup trucks are provided all services, except tire service.
Dual-wheel campers and motor homes will be provided all services, except towing, extrication/recovery and tire service. Coverage for these services is available with AAA Plus RV and AAA Premier RV.
Rented passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles are eligible for service, with the exception of taxi cabs and limousines.
AAA Plus RV and AAA Premier RV extends service to travel trailers and motorcycles. Service for boat,
motorcycle, and snowmobile trailers is provided under AAA Plus RV and AAA Premier RV within AAA Minneapolis service territory, and will be handled by reimbursement if service is unavailable outside of club territory.
This is your auto club! We have tried to design an ERS program that meets the emergency demands of AAA members. However, AAA cannot guarantee that service will always be available in all areas and under all circumstances. For example, severe weather may cause unavoidable delays and service limitations, even though all involved are doing their best. In such cases, service will be provided in order of priorities; servicing stranded members will be a top priority. We appreciate your patience and understanding during these emergencies.
AAA will help members get assistance when special equipment is required, or for services not covered under the policies outlined here. If your vehicle cannot be made operable upon providing the services listed here, AAA will assist you in finding the nearest open repair facility. If a repair facility cannot be located, AAA will assist in obtaining lodging or alternative transportation. Charges for services that exceed the benefits listed will be at the prevailing hourly or mileage rate of the region where service is provided.
Based on a survey of the membership, the AAA Minneapolis Board of Directors has established a policy that provides four (4) calls for each AAA Basic, AAA Plus, and AAA Plus RV member, and five (5) calls for each AAA Premier and AAA Premier RV member, during each membership year. Calls in excess of this limit will be processed, but on a cash-only basis, paid to the service driver.
In fairness to the overall membership, service is to be used within reasonable limits. The Club reserves the right to cancel a membership if we believe there is an abuse of service, as determined by the Membership Services Committee.
In the Twin Cities metro area, when you're out of fuel, stuck, have a flat tire, in a car that won't start, need a tow, lose your keys, or lock them inside your vehicle, call our Emergency Road Service department 24-hours a day, at (952) 927-2727.
Outside the Twin Cities metro area, call the 24-hour nationwide AAA Supernumber – 1-800-AAA-HELP – anywhere in the U.S. and in Canada, for assistance. This number also is printed on the back of your membership card.
Be prepared to provide your membership number; expiration date; name; address; car's exact location; nature of the problem; vehicle's year, make, model, and color; phone number from where you are calling; and desired tow destination. Have a pen or pencil and paper ready in case you must record specific information.
After calling, return to or within sight of your vehicle. Insurance liability prohibits AAA to service unattended vehicles; illness or injury is an exception. Cancel your request immediately if you no longer require assistance.
If you are unable to obtain assistance directly from AAA, call the nearest service station, pay for the service rendered, and submit the service receipt to your Club for reimbursement consideration.
Present your current AAA card and driver's license for identification, and sign one completed AAA road-service ticket before service is rendered.
Members who are unable to present their membership card must be prepared to pay for the service provided and request reimbursement at contract rates from AAA Minneapolis.
Members can upgrade their present level of service to AAA Plus, AAA Plus RV, AAA Premier or AAA Premier RV anytime during their membership year.
NOTE: AAA Plus, AAA Premier, AAA Plus RV, and AAA Premier RV coverages are effective upon receipt of your permanent upgraded membership card or 14 days from date of payment.
All AAA Minneapolis ERS centers, and those approved through other AAA Clubs, have been carefully selected based on their business integrity and ability to provide prompt, courteous, and reliable ERS service and repairs. Your patronage of these service centers helps ensure that the quality of service through which AAA has built its reputation – one that goes back to 1902 – continues.
If service is unsatisfactory or if you question charges presented, make a full report to the AAA Minneapolis ERS Department. AAA will investigate and attempt to resolve your concerns.
AAA ERS service centers are independent contractors and not agents of AAA Minneapolis. Therefore, AAA Minneapolis does not assume responsibility for any injuries to persons or property, including damage to a member's vehicle, as a result of Emergency Road Service. Damage complaints should, however, be reported to the ERS service center proprietor and to the AAA Minneapolis ERS Department.
To request Emergency Roadside Assistance, including AAA Battery Service, call (952) 927-2727 or 1-800-AAA-HELP, or request roadside assistance online.
Bicycle Service Area
Our bicycle service is available only within the state of Minnesota.
Bicycle Repair

Benefits for Bicycle Service Do Not Include

This valuable membership service provides financial help to any member whose vehicle is stolen, not drivable due to damage caused by a traffic accident, 100 miles or more away from home. Members may be reimbursed if they are driving or riding in the vehicle which becomes damaged at the time of the accident or collision.
AAA Plus, AAA Plus RV, AAA Premier, or AAA Premier RV
members also may receive reimbursement for expenses resulting from mechanical breakdown.
Reimbursement is based on actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred, not including taxes, gratuities, fuel or alcohol, for a combination of meals and lodging or transportation:
This service applies only to expenses personally incurred by the member within 72 hours following the accident/incident. Proof of payment(s) must be submitted. If expenses are shared by more than one member, each may submit his share of the cost for reimbursement, but totals may not exceed the gross amount actually incurred. No vehicle repair costs are covered. No reimbursement will be made for certain unlawful cases, including driving while under the influence.
To receive payment, submit a claim form along with a police report or repair bill, and all itemized receipts.
Your request must be received by our office within 30 days after the incident occurred.

VIN etching is available at AAA Minneapolis headquarters in St. Louis Park. To have your windows etched, call (952) 927-2727 to schedule an appointment.
Throughout our history, AAA has worked closely with schools, law enforcement agencies, legislators and private industry to strengthen laws and improve traffic safety in our community.
Since our inception in 1902, AAA has been the leader in the development, implementation, and support of driver and traffic safety programs.
This service was expanded in 1947, when the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety was established to research automobile crashes and educate the public. In 1987, the Minneapolis Auto Club Foundation for Safety was founded to exclusively support traffic safety programs in Hennepin County.
Our Foundation acts as the primary local resource for a number of initiatives, most notably AAA School Safety Patrol, providing, free of cost, all training materials, safety equipment, and recognition items for approximately 170 schools affecting nearly 5,000 School Safety Patrol members in Hennepin County.
In addition, our Minneapolis Auto Club Foundation for Safety supports a number of other patrol programs, including end-of-year recognition events, AAA Lifesaving Award, and the Legionville safety training camp.
The Minneapolis Auto Club Foundation for Safety is supported by the contributions of our AAA
Minneapolis members, usually made during the time of renewal. To learn more about how you can support your traffic safety foundation, call (952) 927-2705 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
AAA continually evaluates and responds to legislation and regulatory measures that affect motorists and travelers. Our concern is to protect your interests, to ensure that drivers are not the targets of discriminatory legislation, and to promote safe and efficient travel.
"Dare to Prepare" is designed for teens (usually ages 13-15) and their families. The 90-minute program facilitates early discussion of driving safety issues before teens participate in formal driver's education. It also increases teens' total exposure to traffic safety messaging throughout their time as developing drivers.
AAA Minneapolis Novice Driver Education Programs offers a comprehensive, four-phase teen driver education program, including:
Plus, students, whose parents are members, will receive a free one-year AAA Associate membership. Working together with you, our program will develop a safe and skillful driver. For more information, please call AAA at (952) 927-2602.
AAA Minneapolis recognizes the special needs of older drivers and have developed a course to address these issues. Our Senior Driver Improvement Program classes are offered at our headquarters office in St. Louis Park, as well as other locations around the metropolitan area.
If you would like to register for a class, or receive more information about our Senior Driver Improvement Program, please call us at 952-927-2602.

Energy Saving Tips for Winter
Winter can be the most wonderful time of the year, but that doesn't mean it has to be the most expensive too! Here are some tips for saving energy during the wintertime.
1) Consider replacing your old gas hot water tank or furnace with an ENERGY STAR rated water heater or furnace. If your gas hot water tank is more than 8 years old you should consider replacing it with a new efficient model to cut back on heating costs. If your furnace is over 15 years old consider replacing it with an ENERGY STAR model. ENERGY STAR furnaces are approximately 15% more efficient than standard models.
2) Install a programmable thermostat. Keeping your house temperature on a schedule can help cut heating costs by lowering the temperatures during times when no one is home or when the household is sleeping. Make sure that if you have a heat pump, you select a thermostat model designed for use with your heat pump. If you are unsure, you can always call a professional. Programmable thermostats can save up to 15% on energy costs!
3) Seal up leaks to prevent heat loss. Use caulking around windows to minimize the amount of air transfer that may leak in and out. Also check where pipes and ducts lead through ceilings, walls and floors and seal up any gaps you find. If you find any large gaps, visit your local hardware store to pick up an appropriate sealant. Also consider adding weather-stripping to your exterior doors.
4) Install high-efficiency windows. When planning ahead for winter months or if you happen to be doing a renovation, opt for windows that are ENERGY STAR certified. These windows can reduce your heating and cooling costs by up to 15%.
5) Use candles for a heat alternative. Not only can they smell nice and add ambience to your space, heat is a by-product of the light that candles provide. Consider using candles for heat and light in the evening to save on your energy bill.
6) Use the sun! While it may shine less than during the spring and summer months, open your window coverings on sunny winter days to help warm your rooms.
7) Wrap water pipes with foam insulation. This is an easy, cost effective way to save energy in your home. Cut the foam tube to the desired length and apply to your water pipes. Make sure to seal any gaps with duct tape and to cut the insulation on an angle to accommodate bends in the pipes.

|Full Name
|Rinka Hayami
|Date of Birth
|July 12
|Zodiac Sign
|Tokyo, Japan
|Assassination Time
|Current Status(es)
|Class 3-E
|Tsundere Sniper
Rinka Hayami (Japanese: 速水 凛香 Hayami Rinka) is a major protagonist of the Japanese manga and anime series Assassination Classroom. Rinka is the best markswoman of Kunugigaoka Junior High's Class 3-E, and is often paired with the best marksman of the class, Ryūnosuke Chiba. She is voiced by Jamie Marchi in the English dub of the anime, and Shiho Kawaragi in the original Japanese version.
Physical AppearanceEdit
In the manga of Assassination Classroom, Rinka has long wavy hair of a light brown colour. She has fair skin and brown eyes. She kept this appearance until the thirty-fifth chapter, when she began to wear her hair in two low pigtails.
In the anime series, Rinka's hair was always shown to be worn in two low pigtails, though her hair colour was changed from light brown to orange-brown. Additionally, her brown eyes were also recoloured to be green.
She stands at 158cm (5'2").
Rinka is often shown to be stoic and business-like, and, like her partner Chiba, has been said to act like a professional adult. She is often quiet and in the background, though will always be straightforward with those she speaks with.
In the earliest chapters of the manga, Rinka was shown to be kindhearted and often shown smiling or conversing with other students. As her personality eventually evolved into what it currently is, she was always shown as cold in the anime series.
Assassination Classroom: Chaos TimeEdit
As with the other members of Class 3-E, Rinka makes a very prominent appearance in the game Assassination Classroom: Chaos Time. As a playable character, she wields a sniper rifle and shares great chemistry with Ryūnosuke Chiba.
Rinka is first met by Nagisa Shiota during the thirteenth mission, where she is trapped by the Korosensei clones.

This hotel was comfortable and welcoming. We had asked for a single room with an extra bed, and when we arrived after midnight, all of the extra beds were gone. The staff upgraded us to a double room at no extra charge. The room was clean and quiet and the beds were comfortable. The breakfast room was cramped, but we appreciated getting a free breakfast with many choices. There was no problem parking even when the lot behind the building was full. This was a great value for the price.

Leigh Griffiths struck two late free-kicks to give the hosts a 2-1 lead heading into stoppage time - but Harry Kane equalised in the 93rd minute.
On a sun-kissed Glasgow afternoon, England took the lead in the 70th minute when substitute Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's left-foot strike beat home goalkeeper Craig Gordon's flimsy attempt at a save.
Southgate refused to blame his side for conceding the second late free-kick from which Scotland scored, and is happy group leaders England still have qualification for Russian Federation in their own hands - although Slovakia will close with two points by beating Lithuania, while Slovenia are three points back. But there was still time for Kane to get in on the act, arriving at the far post deep into stoppage time to equalise.
Scotland can still qualify for the World Cup finals in Russian Federation, despite the "bitter disappointment" of conceding a late equaliser to England, according to defender Christophe Berra.
Home skipper Scott Brown had set the tone for an unforgettable World Cup qualifier inside three minutes as he introduced himself to Dele Alli with a late challenge which earned a yellow card, and Scotland continued their aggressive start by forcing four early corners. "It got us back into contention and if we can perform like we did in that match, then we will certainly cause England a few problems".
"It (the goal) is definitely up at the top, it was a special day", Kane said on ITV1. I will look at the players and tell them you have to keep coming back and taking knocks like that. There was a great atmosphere and the way the game panned out, it was a good point.
Rod Rosenstein would only fire special counsel if Trump's request was 'lawful'
In addition, Comey has said Sessions did not respond when he complained that he did not want to be left alone with Trump again. The Newsmax head also slammed the White House communications team's response to his statement, calling it "amateur hour".
Kane's strike, his sixth in 18 England games, was a sucker-punch for Scotland manager Gordon Strachan, whose side remain in fourth place, three points off a possible play-off berth.
"When I first came into the England squad, Wayne was great with me".
"Our objective is to qualify and we're still top of the group". "We haven't managed to win, but given the narrative of the game, we've got to be pleased to take the point".
England manager Gareth Southgate praised the Three Lions' never-say-die attitude as they rescued a point from the jaws of defeat against Scotland on Saturday.
"You try to protect yourself from the excitement but when we equalised I didn't, because that could have been my best result as a manger". "If you look at the fixtures we've got, we're capable of winning them all if we can perform like that". "I think it is clear that our record is three knockout wins in 25 years so we now have a young team emerging, a 19- and a 21-year-old in the front line today, they haven't played many matches like this".
"It's hard to sit here and say it's a good point given the manner in which the game went in the last minutes, but we'll take the point against England". I knew if I got it round the wall it was in.

Printer Repair Questions? Ask IT Technicians for Answers ASAP
Hi, thank you for contacting JustAnswer.com. My name is Russell. I will do my best to provide the right answer to your question.
That error might mean that, in removing the paper that jammed, the printer's ribbon cable up to the moving carriage assembly and the printhead, was jarred, or even damaged.
First try turning Off the printer for awhile, say several hours, to cool off and reset.
If that doesn't work, recollect how you removed the jammed paper, whether it was crumpled up against the ribbon cable, etc. If it was, then you might need to check the ribbon cable for damage, stress, or having been pulled loose (if pulled loose of its connector at one end, it will need to be re-seated in place, carefully and according to my instructions, and with the power Off and with the printer unplugged of course.
At worst, and if the error persists and is owing to no evident cause, the printer may have to be replaced, or serviced. How old is the printer?

Stephen Hawking, one of the most brilliant men alive and Britain's leading cosmologist and physicist has had enough of Captain Orange's climate denial bullsh*t and he is letting the world know. Speaking with Piers Morgan (BLECH) during an interview with Good Morning Britain on Monday morning, Hawking was asked his view of Trump's presidency and his response was not kind:
Trump was selected by people who felt disenfranchised by the governing elite and the revolt against globalization. His priority will be to satisfy this electorate who are neither liberal nor that well-informed. We have already seen this in the promise to build a wall along the Mexican border and the sanction of two oil pipelines and the appointment to the Environment Protection Agency, Scott Pruitt, a man who does not believe carbon dioxide causes climate change. This appointment pleases the coal industry and miners who voted for Trump.
RELATED: National Park Services Gives Trump The Finger, Tweets Climate Change Info Despite Gag Order
Piers, always the Trump cheerleader, asked the professor if the reaction to Trump's election is justified and Hawking said maybe, but "it represents a definite swing to a right-wing, more authoritarian approach" and he went on to say that he feels like he cannot visit the U.S. because of the Butternut Bigot:
I would like to visit again and to talk to other scientists, but I fear that I may not be welcome.
Sadly, he may be right. In Trump's America, nobody is welcome if they disagree with him. Hell, the bombastic (alleged) billionaire regularly attacks Americans, the very people he is supposed to be representing, so he most certainly wouldn't be pleased with a "foreigner" coming here who doesn't like him. Piers, of course, denied this and then said he would probably see America's Biggest Mistake soon (Piers probably has an appointment to lick his ass) and asked if Professor Hawking had any message he'd like to relay to him. The professor's response was perfect:
He should replace Scott Pruitt at the Environment Protection Agency. Climate change is one of the great dangers we face, and it's one we can prevent. It affects America badly, so tackling it should win votes for his second term. God forbid.
God forbid, indeed.
The thought of Trump getting four more years to destroy the progress this country has made in the last six decades is unfathomable. It's only been eight weeks since he stood in front of his record inauguration crowds (PERIOD) and took an oath to protect this country and he has done the exact opposite–especially when it comes to climate change.
The new president thinks climate change was a hoax made up by the Chinese government for feck sake and has erased all mention of it from government websites. He appointed an anti-global warming advocate to run the EPA and put forth a budget that would decimate the agency. It is terrifying and even Hawking recognizes that.
Unfortunately, Putin's Puppet will not take the professor's advice, because he genuinely believes he is the smartest man to ever walk the Earth.

Show Detailed Description
The beneficial effects on plasma lipids of Orlistat, a selective gastrointestinal lipase inhibitor, are largely independent of weight loss, and might include differential effects plasma non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA). Apart from their well-known effects on insulin resistance pathogenesis, elevated NEFA levels probably play also the most important role at peripheral levels in the pathogenesis of Growth Hormone (GH) insufficiency in obesity. Aim of this observational, mono-centre, randomized, simple-blind, cross-over study is to verify if the short-term treatment with Orlistat may results in decline in NEFA circulating levels when used in conjunction with low-fat diet and if this effect may restore the endogenous activity of GH/ Insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 axis, in the context of GH regulation of lipoprotein metabolism, thus adding a further benefit of Orlistat in obesity cross-linked neuroendocrine and metabolic dearrangement.

How many of the do you believe?
Oh, snacks myths, how you make my job as a fabulous registered dietitian both endlessly entertaining and utterly frustrating. I'm not sure where these culinary rumors start, but some of them refuse to go away. Entire diets are based on them, books are recorded extolling their truth, and as well , a number of many people acquire conned into believing them. Require myths, a lot of that i again hear again and, often hinge on baseless rumors, pseudoscience, or both, and they can get in the way of people living their healthiest lives. Right, five of the biggest nutrition falsehoods you should stop thinking ASAP.
Myth #1: Quinoa is a high-protein grain.
Purchasers often tell me they had an excellent quinoa salad with fruit and vegetables for dinner. When they will be asked by me what their protein source was, they say, "The quinoa? " they look at me personally like I'm nuts Then. Except I currently am not-quinoa isn't high in necessary protein. Quinoa ( which is literally a seed, not a grain), has 8 grams most typically associated with proteins per cooked cup. That's 3 grams more than brown rice, and all across 12 grams less than i would say the 20-30 grams of necessary protein I recommend a lot of people consume each and every meal.
While you could just eat even more quinoa to take more protein theoretically, if weight maintenance or damage are goals of yours, you should note that two cups having to do with quinoa contain nearly 435.00 calories. And even if you're not concerned with your weight and simply want to live a healthy existence, it's best to limit your starch intake to one cup per meal, allowing place for lean vegetables and necessary protein to shine.
If you are per quinoa fiend and achieving you've been skimping around proteins (one common hint as to is regular hunger), wilderness tasty, protein-rich possibilities take delight in chickpeas, tofu, tempeh, meats, seafood, Greek yogurt, low-fat cottage cheese, and eggs into your daily diet. It's not about giving up your beloved quinoa, just realizing it doesn't pack the protein hand techinque you might think.
Myth #2: You have to "alkalize" your body to be well.
The thinking is that alkaline foods, or foods designed to lower the acidity within your body and balance your own body's ph level, can help improve your wellbeing generally speaking. Most alkaline snacks are healthy indeed, because the combined group includes a good amount of fruits, vegetables, dried beans, and several other goodness. However they do not affect just how physique "alkalizes" itself.
I'm likely to break it for you: Your prized kidneys preserve a decent aber on the acidity of your bloodstream, and they control your system's acid- foundation balance in a way that choosing a particular fruit or maybe a veggie over others just can't. If your kidneys didn't have a handle on this all-important job, you'd get significantly ill from consuming an orange or, well, pretty much anything. You heard it right here first, people, and so it's fundamental physiology.
Thus, that $100 jar associated greens powder that guarantees to alkalize you? Yep, it doesn't. Eat your green because they've got plenty of numerous other benefits, but don't imagine each of our acid/alkaline hype.
Myth #3: "Negative-calorie" foods burn up more unwanted fats than they contain.
Each of our '60s and '70s referred, plus they want their balanced and healthy diet once again! This gem dates back to when women are crunching on celery batons while drinking a TaB, as well as , in some way it's still scolding.
There is absolutely no such thing in the form of negative-calorie food. In the event that you look the term on the web, each of our just about all ridiculous lists arrive up-some including items like these celery (only 10 calorie consumption per large stalk, but nevertheless , those calories still exist ), watermelon (um, contains 46 calories a cup), grapefruit (no, that has 104 calories per fruit), and incline meat (I'm not even going to comment on that certain ).
Food does have a thermogenic effect, meaning the body engages calorie consumption to chew as well as , digest everything you eat. However your body is pretty as of this process adept, so it does not have to spend, drop a huge amount of energy to create this manual happen, and eating specified foods can't drive about this multitude up in nearly any contributing way.
All calories enumerate, but some are healthier various other others. In general, the far less processed, the better. But the concept of some food using up more calories than it contain? Pure malarkey.
Delusion #4: "Fat-burning" foods are a thing.
No food expends fat. In fact, we should eliminate the term "fat-burning" because it is a consequently misused. There are some food that may temporarily spike your rate of metabolism, except for plenty of to declare involving them weight reduction aides. Consider chili peppers for example, seeing that they're probably the most frequently cited "fat-burning" foods. Science has long been intrigued by the effects capsaicin, the chemical that gives peppers their spiciness, may have on energy expenditure. And some studies have even found that ingesting capsaicin may increase metabolism, but the result is nowhere near strong enough to label any one food a fat-burning one. "These effects attached to thermogenesis are modest on magnitude; there do not feel like any reports of clinically significant [calorie quite possibly body fat burning up ] with ingestion of capsaicin, " says the inexperienced writers of 1 2015 analysis launched in Open Cardiovascular ?uvre.
Myth #5: Almond dairy is nutrient-rich.
Almonds are actually super healthy, so it's herbal to assume almond have been always is, too ( if it is unsweetened, that's ). But that isn't necessarily situation. It isn't that almond dairy is usually unhealthy-neither is water in the house, and both have an all lot in common. See, almond milk is made by soaking almonds in drinking water, grinding everything together, and then straining out the liquid, aka the "milk. inch
What gets thrown out the actual milk mixture is stretched? Only the almonds' fiber content and protein, which is a lot of what makes them nutritious. Compare that with cow's dairy, which often provides vitamins, minerals, and healthy proteins. If you don't want to drink cow's milk, no problem- humans don't need it, and there are other ways to load up on the health benefits it offers. For example , to boost the nutrition associated with an almond milk- based healthy smoothie, put in a scoop of unsweetened necessary protein hemp or powder hearts, or check out among the protein-fortified almond milks present. Or of drizzling almond milk into your oats each morning on the other hand, make an effort soy have been, which provides some of the necessary protein its almond counterpart is certainly lacking.
Don't worry whether or not these diet misconceptions chucked you for a loop. With the much facts out there, other hard to learn what's straight! Here, whole lot more food myths that deserve lots of debunking even.

|AFS Position Statement on Compensation for Self-Employed Folklorists
The Executive Board of the American Folklore Society recognizes that professional-level work undertaken by self-employed folklorists makes a substantial contribution to the continued growth of the field of folklore. The Board acknowledges that adequate financial compensation is required to sustain a pool of professional, experienced, and skilled individuals to carry out an increasing number of contracted services in the field.
Therefore the Board strongly encourages those who hire self-employed folklorists to estimate the days required to complete the work involved and then offer at least double the daily rate received by a salaried employee with comparable education, experience, and skills at the contracting organization or agency. This method of calculating rates, common in many fields, will allow self-employed folklorists to cover the considerable time and expense involved in maintaining an independent business, including costs for space, utilities, supplies, equipment, travel, and the time spent in soliciting contracts for services.

South Korea's inflation rate rose to its highest level in 29 months in March as prices for food and gasoline jumped.
Rising costs have spurred South Korea's central bank to raise interest rates in two of the past three months through March. Monetary authorities in some other countries including China have also been tightening policy to try and ease price pressures.
Statistics Korea said in a report Friday that the consumer price index increased 4.7 percent in March from the year before amid higher costs for food and transport, including gasoline. It was the biggest increase since a rise of 4.8 percent recorded in October of 2008.
Inflation has now exceeded the top of the Bank of Korea's inflation "tolerance range" for three straight months. That range is plus or minus one percentage point from its inflation target of 3 percent.
The Bank of Korea's interest rate-setting monetary policy committee holds its next monthly meeting on April 12. The BOK has raised its benchmark interest rate four times since July of last year from a record low 2 percent amid strong economic growth and inflation concerns.
South Korea's economy, Asia's fourth largest, grew a revised 6.2 percent last year, recovering from an 0.3 percent expansion in 2009 when it was hit by the global slump that followed the financial meltdown of late 2008.
Kwon Young-sun, an economist at Nomura International in Hong Kong, said that March inflation would have hit 5 percent were it not for sharp declines in high school tuition fees and expenses for elementary school lunches.
Kwon wrote in a report Friday that prices for gasoline, private services and housing rents show no sign of easing, but that worries about the debt burden held by South Koreans are likely to constrain the central bank from aggressively raising borrowing costs.
"We believe the Bank of Korea will remain behind the inflation-fighting curve, partly due to concerns over household debt problems," he wrote, adding that it is likely to raise the key rate by a quarter percentage point each in May and July.
The central bank's lifted its benchmark base rate to 3 percent from 2.75 percent last month. The rate influences a variety of borrowing costs in South Korea, including those on overnight loans between financial institutions and more broadly on items such as mortgage and credit card debt.
Separately, South Korea's exports surged 30 percent in March to a record high $48.6 billion led by shipments of petroleum products and ships, the Ministry of Knowledge Economy announced Friday. Imports rose 28 percent to a record $45.5 billion as rising energy prices increased the cost of raw materials, the ministry said. The trade surplus was $3.1 billion.
Exports in the first quarter of this year rose to an all-time high of $131.8 billion, the ministry said, besting the previous record set in the final three months of last year.

Am I That Girl?
Disclaimer: I don't own the Teen Titans or "I'm Not That Girl" from Wicked so don't sue me or my Evil Ninja Robot Monkeys will hunt you down and beat you with their banana… whips! Yes that's it whips! Note to self: Get Evil Ninja Robot Monkeys banana whips. Okay enough of my disturbed rambling… well almost.
A/N: If this song fic seriously sucks then please tell me so that I can either A) Find someone to help me, B) Beat my head into the wall in shame, or the ever popular C) BOTH! BTW, if I happen to say orange instead of green for Beast Boy, it's because of my unhealthy obsession with a manga called Fruits Basket hehe. Every time the POV shifts I will have their description first! Fun huh? Just thought of it…Chapter 1. Emotions
I was levitating above my bed thinking. I was thinking about the last couple of years. My thoughts drifted to Terra and my mirror cracked. I tried to think of something else but my mind always went to all the attention she got from Beast Boy. My mirror shattered.
Hands touch, eyes meetSudden silence, sudden heat
I thought of all the times I saw them together. A random book ripped in half. I thought about how she had gone out with him so many times. Several books flew across the room and hit the wall.
Hearts leap in a giddy whirlHe could be that boy but I'm not that girl
I thought about how he had looked when he was with her. So happy and in… in… love. That word stung. I wanted to just throw something in my rage. I felt wind start all around me. I heard a pounding on my door.
Don't dream too far
Don't lose sight of who you are
"RAE! ARE YOU OKAY?" he called. No I can't face him, not with me feeling like this. I heard him run down the hall. Probably to get the others, great. I tried to calm myself by thinking soothing thoughts but they kept straying back to Terra. Blue eyes, blonde hair, probably perfect in his head. The thought infuriated me even further.
Don't remember that rush of joy
He could be that boy I'm not that girl
I heard him approaching my room with the others. I inwardly groaned. How was I going to explain this? I thought for a while and then I had my answer. I won't.
Ev'ry so often we long to steal
To the land of what-might-have-been
I thought of him and me together. The wind slowed. It became less brutal as I recounted the times he had comforted me. Also the times when I had comforted him. Like when that bitch, Terra, joined Slade. The wind became fierce again. I heard them approach my door.But that doesn't soften the ache we feel
When reality sets back in
I heard them pounding on the door and I knew they would enter the access code that Cyborg had. My powers ripped the access pad off. I heard a very faint yell from Cyborg, "She ripped off the access pad! We can't get in!" I heard someone start pounding on the door.
Blithe smile, lithe limbShe who's winsome, she wins him
I closed my eyes and tried to focus. I felt my emotions back down a little but I was so upset that I couldn't control them. I had no control. I could only levitate there and hope that this would stop.
Gold hair with a gentle curl, that's the girl he chose
And Heaven knows, I'm not that girl
The pounding stopped and for a moment I thought they had left. Then a loud heavy ramming started. I knew that Beast Boy had changed into an animal and was trying to get in. Just his name depressed me. It depressed me because he didn't love me. He loved Terra.
Don't wish, don't startWishing only wounds the heart
I felt the door start to break. I could hear the metal splitting as well as Beast Boy's grunting. I opened my eye a crack and saw a huge indent in the door. I could hear his grunts as he rammed again and again into the door. My eyes started to water. My bed split in half. The ramming was growing weaker. I used all my strength to try and stop my emotions. My energy reserves were close to breaking.
I wasn't born for the rose and the pearl
There's a girl I know, he loves her so, I'm not that girl.
Beast Boy broke through the door and morphed back just as my emotions started taking over. He ran up to me and hugged me. I felt my emotions settle as he enfolded me in a warm embrace. I collapsed into his hug. "I-I-" I started he just hugged me. The others rushed over and hugged me too. "Do you want help cleaning up?" asked Beast Boy. I shook my head. They all nodded and left. I turned to my trashed room and started sobbing. I felt someone's arms wrap around me. I looked up to see Beast Boy again. He looked worried.
"Why did you do this?" he asked. "Because I'm not that girl," I said sadly. "What are you talking about?" he asked with a small laugh. I shrugged. I hugged him. "Hey," he said, "can I show you something if you promise not to hurt me?" I nodded. He leaned in and pressed his lips to mine. I felt my arms wrap around him. He snaked his arms around my waist. We stayed like that for a while. Then we broke for air. "See," he said, "You are that girl." I smiled at him. We kissed one more time and started cleaning my room.
So what did you think of my disturbed song fic? Good? Bad? Depressing? Happy? JUST FRICKING TELL ME! If you want more I might be able to rustle up a few chapters but if you don't then I won't! Laterz!
