Out of the oven they are flaky, cheesy, buttery, and just a little salty from the pieces of sausage. We topped ours with fresh homemade strawberry jam and I thought I was floating on a buttery cloud.
They would be fabulous cut in half with a fried egg as an easy breakfast idea!
I really had to practice self-control because my mind told me to eat 10 of them (I only had 2 in one sitting, I promise).
If you are looking for a delicious breakfast that will impress... This is for you!
Recipe adapted from Brown Eyed Baker.
For the Biscuits:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 Tablespoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into cubes
1 pound cooked breakfast sausage links, cut into pieces
8 ounces extra sharp cheddar, diced into small cubes
1 cup sour cream
1 Tablespoon whole milk
2 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add in the cubed butter and either using a pastry cutter or your hands, cut the butter until it resembles the size of a pea. Stir in the sausage and cheese.
Add in the sour cream and milk and stir gently until the dry ingredients are moistened. Knead a few times with your hands to bring the dough together in the bowl.
Turn the dough out on to the parchment lined baking sheet and pat (or roll) out into an 8x10" rectangle. Cut the dough into 12 squares, separate, and place 1 inch apart on the parchment paper. Brush the tops with half of the butter mixture and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes.
1-2 minutes before the biscuits are done, brush with the rest of the butter mixture. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
These biscuits are best served the day they are made, but they can also be stored in an airtight container, in the refrigerator, for about 3 days.
Enjoy everyone and happy Monday!

How many times have you asked your children to do something – put the milk back in the fridge, hang up a wet towel, brush their hair … the first response you'll hear back could be any of the following … 'just a sec', 'I already did it' - as the milk remains on the counter, the un-brushed breath still horrendous!) The truth is that when we ask our children to do something, we have an underlying expectation:
I expect that she will do it
Now, let's say, you're getting dinner ready and your child calls down for help with homework. What is your likely first response? I'm just guessing that it's not to put everything on hold and race upstairs. You're more likely to shout up a 'Just a minute' or 'Be there in a sec". We are just as unlikely to drop all that we're doing – the important things on our own agendas – and immediately run and do what has been asked of us (unless it is a serious emergency).
It's just the same with our children. Our children also have their own agendas. They have their heads in a good book, or that Lego construction is almost complete, the puzzle only has 5 more pieces to go, they've nearly finished that level of Minecraft … and we jump in and expect that they will drop everything and happily do exactly what we've asked, to our standards!
Now, I'm not suggesting for a second that our children don't have to do what is required. There is however, a really great way to ensure that it gets done in a positive way … without the nagging, cajoling and shouting … and in just three easy steps! These steps assume that your child has a clear understanding of your family rules and knows what is required of them. Let's say one of your rules is 'Dinner is at 6pm.'
Step One: Go to your child. Rather than shouting from one room (or floor) to another. This is a no brainer … especially as your kids might not hear you otherwise. You save yourself the frustration of shouting. Engage with them in whatever it is that they're doing. 'What are you reading?' 'Where are you up to?' 'Wow, you're almost finished the whole puzzle!' 'I can't believe you got so much of the Hogwarts set built', 'That game looks amazing'.
Step Two: Give the instruction. It's 6 o'clock. You know what that means, right? That's right … dinner! And you've looked at me –thank you. Two more pieces and we need to go. Ask them to tell you what they have to do.
Step Three: Follow through. Stay in their space and acknowledge small steps in the right direction. Empathise with any resistance that comes up.
It IS possible! I used it just tonight as my daughter was next door, drawing with her friend. I went to her, had a look at what she was drawing, told her that it was 6pm and that dinner was on the table. She asked if she could go back after dinner. I told her that as she was already heading to the door of course she could go back!
Three easy steps! Give it a go!

This is a tough one. Is it bad to have high expectations? Or is it just bad to have high expectations of others instead of ourselves? I have always been very hard on myself with everything that I do, maybe it has to do with the way I was raised. My mom always worked hard and she still does; she would always say that everything is work and if you want to get somewhere you have to do the best you can and work hard at it. Basically don't be mediocre whatever you do (I agree). But it just makes me wonder, are we working so hard because other people (our peers) expect it of us? Because they expect the best of us that if we fail at something they would be disappointed? So, are we doing things in order to not disappoint our peers or ourselves?
I think expectations for oneself is good because it gives you a goal or point where to aim and where do you see yourself; but where it gets tricky is that sometimes we put ourselves through so much pressure because of our families, our friends and the world and we start comparing ourselves to others instead of focusing on our journey and that the only person that really matters and that you are in competition to be better than is YOU.
Yet the other side of the coin is when you expect so much from others and they disappoint you. We have all been there; any type of relationships that you might have had. We have built this magical realistic idea about a situation or someone and they failed to fulfill it. But we have to remind ourselves that you have to try and see things & people for who they are and not how you want to see them. The less expectations you have the less the disappointments you will encounter and the more honest they will become in your eyes.
One must let go of expectations in order to live more at peace with ourselves and others. Lets pay more attention to our actions and our journey. The right situation and the right people will show up at the right time and right place. Let go of the idea of how you think things are supposed to be, remember the best things are unexpected and not scripted.

I am looking to travel to the Normandy region (possibly Bayeux) in late July. Does anyone have a good handle on the restaraunt available? I am looking to do a self-cater gite and do my own cooking, but just in case, I was looking for other options.
Any and all suggestions for the area would be welcome, from the food to places to stay.
Thank you in advance!

PEOPLE are paying off their debt faster than ever, says Australia's biggest bank.
Westpac's acting chief operating officer, Jim Tate, has told an inquiry in Sydney that while Australia had high household debt, people were anxious to pay it off because of the financial downturn.
"The behaviour in the mortgage books currently is that people are paying off debt faster than we have ever seen," Mr Tate today told the Senate inquiry into the banking sector in the aftermath of the 2008-2009 global financial crisis.
"People are paying off debt actively, twice as fast as they have been over the past 30 years."
He said people were anxious.
"This is not just in households, this is across business now for three years.
"They read the papers, they see what's going on and they say: 'Look debt is not going to be my friend if things go bad, so I'm going to get myself back into a situation where I've got a lot of equity back in the house'."
Mr Tate said that on average people had 40 to 50 per cent equity in their homes.
The inquiry continues in Sydney today and tomorrow.

Bug in List Assignment when Editing Reminders Rated 4 out of 5 stars
When a reminder is opened in a custom List, the custom list it is assigned to does not persist. It goes back to the 1st list. Please fix this as it makes editing reminders difficult as the List assignment changes without the user changing it.This review is for a previous version of the add-on (18.104.22.168-signed). This user has 2 previous reviews of this add-on.
Don't Abandon Us Rated 5 out of 5 stars

A must for organization Rated 5 out of 5 stars
The multiple list feature is excellent for keeping up with sets of reminders. This a must for me at work. One suggestion, I often have a handful of ToDo's that I don't get to in a day and I need to update their date in mass. Being able to edit the date on more than one ToDo at a time would be very helpful as I roll tasks forward day to day.This review is for a previous version of the add-on (184.108.40.206.1.1-signed). This user has other reviews of this add-on.
Remove Pop Ups Rated 5 out of 5 stars
I love the add-on, but the pop up when I hover over a task is difficult to manage. I like the idea, but the pop up doesn't go away in a normal manner. When I move the cursor off the task or the pop up window, it still remains. I end up having to click around the screen to try to get it removed. It would be nice if this could be disabled or have the pop up go away as soon as the mouse is not hovering over the pop up window.This review is for a previous version of the add-on (22.214.171.124.3.1-signed).
Fantastic - A must for productivity Rated 5 out of 5 stars
From simple salutations to entire email templates (with HTML formatting), this is an ABSOLUTE MUST HAVE. Clean interface, easy to use...can't live without it!This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.9.11.1).
Just a Little More... Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Any chance you could add some preferences like having the threads expanded by default. I'd prefer to have the emails expanded by default so I can then collapse what I want. The current default is the opposite (i.e. all collapsed).This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.7).

I help people to stop people-pleasing and worrying, to learn to fully embody their authenticity (aka feel comfortable in their own skin), and to live a life that truly matters to them… removing the gunk that gets in the way in the process. Bottom line: I teach people how to cultivate inner presence so that they can live the life they want to (and are meant to) live.
I believe in living a purposeful and purpose-filled life, and that each of us is made for something more than living according to expectations and a fear-driven status quo.
Make yourself and your life more important than fear, and you can change your life (and your world).
I offer:
1) Cultivating Inner Presence Foundations (coming soon) – everything you need to lay the groundwork for your own quiet leadership. Clear away the gunk that's been holding you back, build confidence, and clarify your purpose. A gentle introduction that will transform your daily view.
2) Customized one-on-one coaching for quiet leaders and others who want to bring more self leadership, purpose, and aliveness to their lives.
3) Good Girl Rehab – a 6-lesson self-study program designed to take you from overwhelmed people-pleaser to generously independent woman. Learn to set meaningful boundaries, release overwhelm and worry, and build your confidence. This standalone course helps you to lovingly release your inner good girl to make room for the courageous woman you are.
4) Speaking, workshops, and events – invite me to your event or business, and we'll talk about vision, purpose, and impact in ways that will have you, your team, or your employees stepping into leadership in a whole new way. I can teach you how to get the most out of your quieter people (who have all sorts of hidden talents you probably don't know about) as well as inspire them to bring more of their gifts powerfully into your business.
I've been there
I've been a reluctant leader most of my life. As an introvert and HSP, I haven't always sought the spotlight or the pressure of being out front. I felt ill-suited for the role of leader (I mean, I wasn't the loudest or the bravest or the most outgoing, so who was I to lead anyone?). But time and again I've found myself out front, leading.
So I had to take another look at what leadership really means. And what I've discovered is that leadership has nothing to do with being extroverted or introverted, quiet or loud, sensitive or fearless. It has nothing to do with being the most senior person in the room, or even the person in the spotlight.
Leadership is taking responsibility, having a vision, and following a purpose. The ra-ra is optional.
And for the list-lovers & curious types:
- Coaching creds: Certified Co-Active Professional Coach (CPCC) & ACC from the International Coach Federation
- Leadership training: intensive 10 month leadership program from CTI
- Team lead & tech lead for engineering teams for over 8 years
- engineering manager at a large Silicon Valley company for a couple of eventful years
- Loads of project management, people management, design, software lifecycle, and deliverables planning.
- Designed and developed software such as internet banking software, payment systems, and fun stuff like this
- One-time food blogger
- Lifelong dreamer with a well-developed practical left-brain side.
- Stepmom to 2 teenaged boys.
- lover of cats, chocolate, running, date night with my husband, and irreverent humor.

As much as we all love pumpkin, it seems that the majority of pumpkin spice foods tend to be a little *too sweet* [if that's even possible ; )]. If you're looking for a more savory way to get that delicious pumpkin spice flavor, give this recipe a try! This pumpkin hummus is a great snack, appetizer + a whole lot more! Get creative — maybe an Apple + Pumpkin Spice Hummus wrap?!
1 cup canned Chickpeas [make sure to remove the skin]
1 ¼ cup canned Pumpkin
1 tsp Cinnamon
¼ cup Honey
* optional toppings:
⅛ cup Dried Cranberries
1 tsp Flax Seeds
½ tsp Rosemary
1 tsp Honey
1] Grab a fork + mash the chickpeas + pumpkin until smooth. Once smooth, mix in the cinnamon + honey. We recommend saving a little honey to drizzle on top!
2] Sprinkle flax seeds, dried cranberries, + rosemary on top + drizzle with leftover honey.
Now, it's your turn to chef it up! Be creative as you wish + substitute//add any ingredients to suit your preference. Give it a little garnish + mix it up + serve with pita! Don't forget to share your pic with us on Insta + use the hashtag #CHAARGeats : )

Take probiotics asap. Antibiotics can make you loose the good bacteria in your intestines and this can lead to diarrhea.

They carried me to a particular spot where I saw a herd of antelopes; but I laid aside all thoughts of sports, as soon as I I perceived a tree of prodigious thickness, which drew my attention. This was a calabash tree (baobab), which the Jaloffes call quol in their language. There was nothing extraordinary in its height; for it was only about fifty feet; but its trunk was of prodigious thickness. I extended my arms, as wide as possible I could, thirteen times, before I embraced its circumference; and for greater exactness, I measured it round afterwards with a pack thread, and found it to be sixty-five feet: and consequently the diameter was nearly twenty-two. I do not believe that the like was even seen in any other part of the world; and I am persuaded that if our ancient voyagers had been acquainted with this tree, they would have added some surprising circumstances to its description.
~~Michel Adanson, Histoire Naturelle du Sénégal (1757)
The legendary missionary/explorer David Livingstone drew the freakish baobab tree as a giant carrot planted upside down. But unlike others of his day, he did not believe the trees could live 5000 years – more like 1000 – and science has proved him right over the years. Like just about everything else associated with Africa, legends abound in native cultures about the baobab — also called the "monkey bread" or "cream of tartar" — tree and how it came to be.
One version goes thus: at the time of Creation, the baobab complained to the Creator of the Universe that it wanted to be tall like the palm, beautiful with flowers like the flame tree, and on and on. The Creator grew so tired of the whining that the only thing to do was to turn the tree upside down to silence it. Myth has it that the tree never uttered a complaint afterward.
Thus the legendary baobab is really the ultimate survivor, living as it does in some of the harshest environments on Earth.
According to another widespread folk belief, people get fat if they drink or eat products made from the baobab. The tree's waistline measures anywhere from 25 to 30 feet and its height surpasses 40 feet in some cases. And many women believe that the trees act as a fertility agent, sacrificing goats and roosters at the base of certain, sacred trees in hopes of bearing children, healthy or otherwise.
The baobab plays a prominent role in the tale, Le Petit Prince (The Little Prince), by the explorer and pilot, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, which nearly every student of the French language reads at one point or another.
Now there were some terrible seeds on the planet that was the home of the little prince; and these were the seeds of the baobab. The soil of that planet was infested with them. A baobab is something you will never, never be able to get rid of if you attend to it too late. It spreads over the entire planet. It bores clear through it with its roots. And if the planet is too small, and the baobabs are too many, they split it in pieces … ~~Chapter 5, The Little Prince, by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Now I am not sure exactly why the Little Prince hated baobabs so much, but it probably had to do with a fear that the roots of the baobab would rip apart the Little Prince's planet.
In spite of its size and other shortcomings, the majestic baobab provides much that is good for the people of Africa and other tropical areas of the world. People cook with baobab leaves, fruit, seeds, young sheets, and roots. Other parts of the tree yield useful items, like material for rope and medicinal products. And the hard sweet-potato-shaped fruit husks make dandy testicle covers, too.
But like a creature from a horror movie, killing one takes some doing. Ellen Drake says, "Baobab trees are difficult to kill. They are almost impossible to chop down. The wood is so spongy that an axe either bounces off, or gets stuck in the soft water-laden trunk. The tree is too thick to saw through easily. Ring-barking, fatal to most trees, does not usually kill a baobab. … It is resistant to fire." But elephants can and do destroy the water-logged baobabs.
Ancient Egyptians knew about the baobab and so did al-Barki, who is credited with the first written mention of the baobab in world literature in 1068. Ibn Battuta, the Moroccan explorer, wrote about the baobab in 1352 in regard to a weaver who set up his shop in the hollow trunk of a thriving baobab tree. The name "baobab" stems from the Arabic word bu hibab ("the fruit with many seeds"). Azupara described baobabs of "108 hands circumference" in 1477. A little later, Prospero Alpino, a Venetian herbalist wrote in 1592 about the bu hubob fruit he'd seen in Cairo markets. But it fell to Michel Adanson, a Frenchman, to be the first person to describe these behemoths in detail in 1757. Adanson's work led Carl Linneaus to name the tree after Adanson, Adansonia digitata.
The baobab is rich in calcium, and women and children in Senegal eat it for that reason. Hausi and Fulani farming communities concoct a drink from the fruit. Cooks use the leaves, particularly the young ones, like spinach, dried and powdered, in soups or sauces as a thickener, much like okra or file powder in the American South. The Wolofs of Senegal harvest young leaves in February or March and dry them to make a thickening powder for sauces eaten with couscous. The white powder from the seeds can be used as cream of tartar in baking. The acidic pulp acts like rennet and curdles milk. And some groups burn the pulp of the baobab's fruit to smoke the ubiquitous smoked fish of West Africa, what I call "West African" bacon. Cooks use smoked fish in the same way that Southern cooks in the U.S. use smoked pork to season greens, stews, and sauces.
Baobab seeds are hard to get into, but once the covers split off, the seeds substitute for coffee, as well as providing a special oil only used on festive occasions in Senegal.
In other words, the people of traditional Africa see the baobab as a "tree of life."
Mowana Madila (Botswana)
Cooks ferment and drain milk to make madila (sour milk), which is a favorite addition to porridge. Madila can also be eaten on its own."
2 ¼ cups baobab fruit pulp (including seeds)
3 cups fresh milk
Sugar or honey (optional)
Soak pulp in milk about 30 minutes. Mash pulp with your fingers to clean the pulp off the seeds. Remove the seeds. This makes a sour milk much like yogurt, with the thickness of heavy cream. Add to porridge or drink on its own. Adding sugar or honey makes the drink a little sweeter.
Mabuyu (Kenya)
1 medium baobab fruit
1/2 cup water
3/4 cup sugar
1 T. red food coloring
1 T. raspberry flavoring or extract
Cayenne pepper to taste (about 1 teaspoon)
Pinch of salt
Crack open the pods and remove the pulp. Mash pulp in a bowl to separate the seeds from one another and remove loose powder. Try to remove as much fiber as possible. Set aside.
Boil the water, sugar, red food coloring, and raspberry flavoring until the mixture thickens like a syrup; approximately 15 minutes. Reduce heat and add baobab seeds to the syrup. Stir constantly to keep from scorching. When the seeds become hard, like candy, and the syrup is absorbed, remove from heat and pour into a clean, non-glass dish. Cool until hard. Eat Mabuyu like candy. Watch out for the seeds if your teeth tend to break or crack while biting on hard objects!
Naboulou (Meat & baobab leaves in peanut sauce)
This variation of Mafé is well-known and eaten daily all over West Africa, especially in Senegal, The Gambia, Mali and the Ivory Coast. Meat simmers in a sauce thickened with ground peanuts and leaves, in this case baobab. This stew's sweet-salty flavor epitomes the taste of West African food.
6-8 servings
2 T. oil
2 ibs. beef chuck roast, cut into 1 ½-inch cubes
1 medium onion, finely chopped
6 cloves garlic, mashed and minced
1 T. fresh ginger, minced
2-4 T. tomato paste
2 cups peeled, seeded and chopped plum tomatoes
1 – cups water or beef stock
1 cup natural, unsalted peanut butter
Salt and pepper to taste
Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the meat and sauté until lightly browned on all sides, 5 – 6 minutes. Remove to a bowl and set aside.
Add the onion to the oil in the pot and sauté until translucent, 3 – 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and ginger; sauté another 1 – 2 minutes. Do not allow the garlic to burn.
Return meat to the pot, stir in the tomato paste, and fry for about 1 minute. Stir in the chopped tomatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 8-10 minutes to soften the tomatoes.
Add enough water or stock to give the dish to a stew-like consistency. Simmer for another 10 minutes.
Stir in the peanut butter, salt and pepper. Simmer for another 40 minutes or until the meat is tender and oil rises to the surface of the dish. Add water as necessary to keep the dish stew-like.
Taste for seasoning and serve with rice or couscous.
Use goat or cut-up chicken instead of beef. Or use chicken pieces.
When you add the water or stock, stir in some vegetables such as cabbage, yams, squash, okra, eggplant, potatoes, peppers or carrots. Make a vegetarian versions with only vegetables.
Kuka Soup (Northern Nigeria)
Serves 4
½ lb. kuka (baobab) leaves
½ lb. dried ground orko(okra)
1 fresh chile pepper
4 fresh tomatoes
1 large onion, peeled, and coarsely chopped
1 lb. dried, smoked, or fresh fish
6 tablespoons palm oil
4 cups stock or water
Salt to taste
Chop the tomatoes, onions, and chiles in a blender or food processor. Cook the blended ingredients in the oil for15 minutes. Add the okro and kuka leaves, stir and cook for 10 minutes. Wash and clean the fish; if using fresh fish, season with salt and pepper. Add to the pot. Pour the stock into a large pot. Cook until fish and other ingredients are done.

We haven't heard anything regarding a 7.7″ Galaxy Tab until just recently when someone spotted the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 name in the new Samsung Unpacked App. So far that is all we know but don't worry we will be finding out plenty more this next week at IFA in Berlin. We might even see a new Galaxy S II at IFA if we're lucky.
The photo shown above, as well as another at the source, claim this to be the new Samsung Galaxy 7.7″ Tab. While the blurrycam image above does get me a little excited as I think a 7.7″ Honeycomb tablet would be an awesome size and just right for portability. Then they have a second photo that makes me a little iffy and start to second guess it. Looking just like the original Samsung Galaxy Tab 7″ in the second photo our sources provide we can't really be sure what we are looking at.
We know a Galaxy Tab 7.7″ is coming and most likely with a Super AMOLED Display like we saw leaked here. In that and other recent leaks we are lead to believe the new Galaxy Tab would be running on Android 3.2 Honeycomb but the leaked photos show capacitive touch buttons, something we don't need with Honeycomb. Either way I'm excited to see what Samsung has coming but for now I'll be taking these photos with a grain of salt. What do you guys think?

These two games are text adventures lampooning Tolkien's novels. The first game, Bored of the Rings, is inspired by, but not based on, the Bored of the Rings parody novel published by Harvard Lampoon. An earlier video game, The Hobbit (1982), is also parodied in this first game, however the second game parodies The Hobbit more closely with The Boggit, as a prequel to Bored of the Rings.

I traced the Circus whose gray stones incline
Where Rome and dim Etruria interjoin,
Till came a child who showed an ancient coin
That bore the image of a Constantine.
She lightly passed; nor did she once opine
How, better than all books, she had raised for me
In swift perspective Europe's history
Through the vast years of Caesar's sceptred line.
For in my distant plot of English loam
'Twas but to delve, and straightway there to find
Coins of like impress. As with one half blind
Whom common simples cure, her act flashed home
In that mute moment to my opened mind
The power, the pride, the reach of perished Rome.

(CBS) - Despite calls for the food industry to voluntarily reduce sodium levels, a new study finds the salt in processed and fast food remains as high as ever.
Researchers from Northwestern found that between 2005 and 2011, the sodium content in processed food decreased slightly while the sodium in fast food products actually went up a little.
Most Americans eat way more than the daily recommended amount of salt, most of it comes from processed or restaurant foods.
Health experts say it's time for the government to step in and regulate the food industry.
(CBS) - Just days ahead of new laws requiring large restaurant chains to post calorie content, a new study suggests all restaurants should list nutritional content.
Researchers at Tuft University found the average meal at individual and small chain restaurants contains two to three times the number of calories an adult should eat at a single sitting.
In fact, the average meal packs two-thirds of the calories a person should be eating for the whole day.
(CBS) - If you want to avoid exposure to tobacco smoke, new research suggests you choose hotels that ban smoking altogether rather than go to ones which have designated non-smoking rooms.
Researchers in California found air levels of tobacco smoke pollution were seven times higher in non-smoking rooms of hotels that had partial smoking bans than in hotels that banned smoking completely.

The rest of François Caradec's edition of Alphonse Allais's works is devoted to the "posthumous works." The term is not quite accurate; almost all of the material was published in Allais's lifetime. However, it wasn't included in the collections that Allais himself called his "anthumous works." By Caradec's count, there are 1,887 articles, novels, pamphlets, […]

Pierre Gustave Brunet and the Literature of the Insane
January 27th, 2014 · No Comments
Pierre Gustave Brunet (1805-1896) compiled bibliographies. I know nothing else about him. His output was remarkable, though, as were the subjects he chose: Pope Joan, Biblical apocrypha, theological curiosities, imaginary libraries, fictional publishers, literary frauds, scatological texts, facetious literature, and lost books, among others. His best remembered work is probably his 1880 compendium, Les Fous […]

Spiriva(Tiotropium bromide)為Boehringer Ingelheim開發的COPD(慢性阻塞性肺病)治療藥,在全球主要國家上市。這個醫藥品使用持續型的抗蠅蕈鹼/抗膽鹼劑,阻礙呼吸道平滑肌的M3蠅蕈鹼受體,擴張支氣管以便更容易呼吸。根據GlobalData的調查,有部分在藥品仿單核准適應症外使用Spiriva作為中∼重病的持續性氣喘患者治療的案例。
GlobalData has released its new PharmaPoint Drug Evaluation report, "Spiriva (Asthma) - Forecast and Market Analysis to 2023". The asthma market saw very slow growth over the past decade, as it has become saturated with relatively efficacious standard therapies, such as short-acting beta-agonists (SABAs), inhaled corticosteroids (ICSs), inhaled corticosteroids and long-acting beta-agonists (ICS/LABAs), and leukotriene modifiers, and has also been facing increasing generic competition. However, the launch of seven novel targeted biologic agents and once-daily ICS and ICS/LABA therapies delivered by the next-generation inhalers will strongly drive the market growth over the next 10 years. The biologic agents will not only reshape the market growth, but will also mark the beginning of a new era of a personalized approach to asthma treatment. The realization that asthma is a very heterogeneous disease is highly reflected in the rich assortment of these targeted therapies in the late-stage pipeline.
Boehringer Ingelheim's Spiriva (tiotropium bromide) is marketed for the treatment of COPD in all the markets covered by this report. This drug is a long-acting antimuscarinic/anticholinergic agent that causes bronchodilation by inhibiting the M3 muscarinic receptors located in the smooth muscles of the airway. It works by enlarging the airways to allow for easier breathing. GlobalData's primary research revealed that physicians use Spiriva off-label for the treatment of moderate to severe persistent asthma.

Sometimes you hear a song that so perfectly syncs up with the story of the artist, it's almost hard to believe it's true. Nashville based Thad Kopec's newest track 'Second Best' is one of those tracks. It's elegant, baroque loveliness sounds like it came from the lightly gilded mind of a serial loner, so when you find out that Kopec spent time on a central Florida farm fighting insomnia it sounds almost too perfect. The track is sweet but still tinged with darkness, the kind of chamber pop that feels intimately familiar with sorrow. Of the track, Kopec says:
Second Best is the only song on The Shadow and the Caster that has a tangible narrative. I was sort of playing with that afterglow you sometimes feel after waking up from an emotionally visceral dream – that first half of the day you spend wishing to somehow go back to that place, and the inflamed state your imagination can take on as a result.
I played with a few different arrangements for the song, and decided to keep it somewhat sparse to carve out room for the strings and horns. I knew those were the elements I needed to work with in order to create a world that felt magical and otherworldly in the way that a dream does.
Kopec's new record The Shadow and the Caster is out on 4/21.

The transverse abdominus is the most important muscle in the body! I should write that in all capitals to emphasize it more. It isn't really. All muscles are important. They all have a job, and together they make the body work. But even so the transverse abdominus is interesting. Learn to feel it and control it in relative isolation and you may find you can use it to operate your body more effectively.
One of the first exercises I learned for activating the transverse abdominus is called Agni Sara. (There are several exercises called Agni Sara).
The exercise involved pulling the belly inwards one section at a time working from the bottom upwards, then releasing the belly one section at a time working from the top downwards. Generally you start at the bottom pulling the band of belly about an inch or two above the pubic bone inwards. Then pull the next band up inwards, and so on. I focused just on the portion of the belly between the pubic bone and the belly button and I found the releasing part more challenging than the activation part. Often times I'd practice while sitting on the toilet. Somehow it was a little bit easier then, perhaps because my belly was so relaxed.
Was there any advantage to the exercise apart from being able to control my belly to a greater degree? I did tend to feel energized after doing it. But I also learned that groups of fibers of the transverse abdominus can be activated individually.
In case you didn't know, the transverse abdominus forms, for the most part, the innermost muscular layer of the abodminal wall. It wraps around the belly like a belt between the ribcage and the pelvis.
It also straps across the front openings of the pelvis and ribcage.
Tighten the belt that this muscle forms and it pulls the belly inwards. Relax it and the belly could potentially bulge outwards.
Another exercise where I learned to use the transverse abdominus was called "diaphramatic breathing". That's in quotes because there are actually a few different breathing exercises that use the respiratory diaphragm.
This basic diaphragmatic breathing exercsise involves contracting the diaphragm downwards to expand the belly outwards and cause an inhale.
Actually, it didn't expand the belly outwards, it presses downwards on the abdominal organs causing the front wall of the belly to bulge outwards. This action expands the volume of the lungs causing an inhale.
Then the reverse action was to use the transverse abdominus to pull inwards on the belly, squeezing the abdominal organs and causing them to push on the bottom of the diaphragm, pressing it upwardss into the space of the ribcage reducing lung volume and causing an exhale.
This action can be done without affecting the relationship between pelvis and ribcage. You can keep your ribcage and pelvis still relative to each other while alternately contracting the diaphragm and transverse abdominus. I'll mention in a bit how the transverse abdominus can be used to affect the relationship between ribcage and pelvis.
One cool thing to do to make diaphragmatic breathing easier to learn is to tilt the ribcage forwards so that the sternum moves closer to the pubic bone. This reduces tension in the rectus abdominus muscle (the "six pack" muscle) and obliques making it easier to expand the belly.
Then once the feeling of activating (and then relaxing the diaphragm) has been achieved, you can incrementally lift/tilt-back the ribcage (and lengthen the belly) to add gradually more tension to the abs. With the front of the ribcage lifted (so that the rectus abdominus is lengthened) the diaphragm not only has to work against transverse abdominus tension but also against rectus abdominus tension. So if you want a more relaxed diaphragmatic breath, don't lift your chest so much!
Now I said that in diaphragmatic breathing the transverse abdominus and respiratory diaphragm take turns activating but that's probably not quite true. What actually may happen is that one gradually activates while the other gradually relaxes so that there is a smooth transition between one muscle activating and the other relaxing.
And so this offers two different ways of focusing your awareness. You could focus on your transverse abdominus, gradually relaxing it to expand your belly and gradually contracting it to pull your belly inwards. Or focus your awareness of your respiratory diaphragm. In either case work at making both the activation and relaxation phases smooth.
I've said how tilting the ribcage forwards or backwards relative to the pelviscan slacken or add tension to the rectus abdominus (and obliques). One of the ways in which the transverse abdominus can be used is to vary tension on the abdominus rectus without requiring a change in relationship between ribcage and pelvis.
That may be one of the reasons why groups of fibers can be activated independently.
For example, you could add tension to the lower fibers of the transverse abdominus. Then while inhaling using the diaphragm you can allow the portion of belly above the belly button to expand. Or, starting with your chest bent forwards, first pull in the lower belly, then as you contract your diaphragm, use the contraction to partially expand the upper belly, but also to lift the front of the ribcage.
I mentioned previously that the transverse abdominus can be used in such a way that it doesn't affect the relationship between ribcage and pelvis. Another version of diaphragmatic breathing is to activate and relax the diaphragm and TA simultaneously.
Adding tension to both muscles at the same time, the respiratory diaphragm pushes down on abdominal organs, which because the TA is engaged can't bulge forwards. This then causes the diaphragm to create an upward push on the ribcage, pushing it up away from the pelvis. The effect is like a hydraulic piston. You could activate the TA first and then activate the diaphragm or activate the diaphragm first and then the TA. In this latter case, you could let the belly bulge outwards as you activate your respiratory diaphragm, then contract the transverse abdominus while keeping the diaphragm engaged so that the ribcage lifts.
With better tension control you could use this same action to expand lumbar spine. This is often termed reverse breathing, probably because instead of breathing into the front of the belly the feeling is that you are breathing into your lower back. For this exercise, engage your transverse abdominus first. Then engage your diaphragm. While doing so use either your obliques or rectus abdominus (or a combination of both) to keep the front of your ribcage stationary relative to the front of your pelvis. Allow instead your lower back to expand. You may find your lower back on either side of your lumbar spine feels like it is expanding. And/or you may feel your lumbar spine gradually straightening (assuming that it had a backward-bend/lordosis at the start of the activation).
Now in terms of the feeling of breath, why does it feel like you are breathing into your belly or your lower back when breathing using your diaphragm? Because muscles are being used and/or stretched. Using the diaphragm to expand your belly you stretch the abdominal muscles causing sensations which make it feel like you are breathing into your belly. Likewise breathing into your lower back you create tension or stretch in your lower back, possibly in the Quadratus Lumborum muscle, which creates the feeling of breathing into your lower back.
With directed awareness you can learn to feel the contraction of your diaphragm and so better control it.
Apart from opposing the diaphragm, the transverse abdominus can play a role in stabilzing the sacroiliac joints, lumbar spine and lower thoracic spine. It helps in this case to divide the Tranverse Abdominus into three parts. This isn't to say that it consists of three parts. It is a temporary model to use to help understand TA and how it can work. It's an aid to understanding. It's one aspect of the whole, a focused point of view, but only one. For complete understanding we need multiple points of view.
But anyway, dividing the TA into three parts, those three parts attach to the pelvis, the lumbar spine and the ribcage.
The part of the Transverse Abdominus that attaches to the pelvis attaches to the points of the hips, called the ASICs or Anterior Superior Iliac Crests, and the lines that mark the border between the belly and the inner thighs, the inguinal ligaments. To understand how this lower portion of the transverse abdominus works it helps to model the pelvis as having two halves that hinge at the pubic bone and SI Joints. Pulling inwards on the ASICS causes the two halves of the pelvis to hinge so that the sitting bones or Ischial Tuberosities (ITs) move away from each other. Doing the opposite movement, causing the ITs to move inwards causes the hip bones to hinge so that the ASICS move away from each other.
The Transverse abdominus can be used to pull inwards on the ASICS causing the sitting bones to spread apart. Meanwhile the pelvic floor muscles can be used to pull inwards on the ITs causing the ASICs to spread apart.
When the lower Transverse Abdominus activates the pelvic floor muscles also activate to help control the distortion of the pelvis in much the same way the triceps activate to oppose the biceps when flexing the biceps. The action of the biceps and triceps stabilizes the elbow joint. In the case of dual activaiton of the lower transverse abdominus and pelvic floor muscles, the joints that are stabilized are the sacroiliac joints that joint the hip bones and the sacrum.
It's for this reason that some yoga teachers suggest activating mula bandha to create uddayana bandha. Activating the pelvic floor muslces can cause the lower transverse abdominus to activate just as activating the lower transverse abdominus can cause the pelvic floor muscles to activate.
A simple way to activate the pelvic floor muscles is to create an inwards pull on the sitting bones. But pull the tailbone towards your pubic bone first.
Since the pelvis hinges (sort of) at the SI joint, this dual action of the Lower transverse abdominus and Pelvic Floor Muscles helps to stabilize the SI joint. However, hip muscles also cross the SI joint (gluteus maximus, piriformis) and indirectly affect it by and so SI stability can also be created by (and affected by) hip muscle action. Additionaly hip muscles that can affect SI joint tension include the obturator internus and the iliacus muscles, both of which have a large area of attachment along the inner surface of the hip bones.
Part of what resists the action of the transverse abdominus at the back of the sacrum is a layer of connective tissue called the Thoracolumbar Composite. This is a fused mass of connective tissue made up of layers from the erector spinae aponeurosis and various other layers of the thoracolumbar fascia. This fascia connects to both sides of the back of the pelvis on either side of the sacrum. When the Transverse Abdominis engages, the Thoracolumbar combosite resists the back of the pelvis being pulled apart. The ischial tuberosities spread apart instead.
The thoracolumbar combosite forms a pocket with the back of the sacrum. The spinal erectors, and the smaller posterior spinal muslces like multifidus are sandwiched within this pocket between the back of the sacrum and the thoracolumbar composite. Some fasicles of the multifidus attach to the front surface of this layer of fascia and so when tension is added to this fascia by the action of the lower transverse abdominus these same muscles have a firm foundation from which to activate on the spinous processes of the lumbar vertebrae to which they attach.
The middle portion of TA attaches to the bits of bone that stick out the sides of the lumbar vertebrae, the transverse processes. At its attachment to the spine the TA is mostly connective tissue and this tissue forms part of the sheath that surrounds the spinal erector and smaller rear spinal muscles called collectively the paraspinalis. The sheaf itself is called the Paraspinalis Rectinalicular Sheath or PRS. Adding tension to the TA adds tension to the sheath which in turn squeezes the paraspinalis.
The connective tissue or aponeurosis of the transverse abdominus also passes behind the Quadratus Lumborum.
The QL attaches to the back of the pelvis and from there its fibers reach up to attach to the transvers processes of the lubmar vertebrae and the lowest pair of ribs (the 12th pair). A second layer of this muscle also sometimes exists and has fibers in the opposite direction reaching down from the lowest pair of ribs to attach to the lumbar vertebrae.
I had the thought, while trying to draw the QL and TA that tension in the TA could cause tension in the QL. I don't know if there is give in this portion of the TA to add tension to the QL but at the very least tension in the TA could act as a signal to the QL to activate or relax as required.
Since the lower transverse abdominus is resisted by the Pelvic Floor muscles it makes sense that some muscle resists the action of the Middle transverse abdominus. Since both the TA and QL attach to the transverse processes of the lumbar vertebrate it seems reasonable to expect that the QL might activate along with the middle fibers of the TA.
Another muscle that also has attachments to these points is the psoas. And so the middle transverse abdominus could act in concert with either the QL or the Psoas. It would depend, since the Psoas crosses the Hip joint, one what is happening at the hip joint.
I never gave much thought to the upper transverse abdominus until some experiences in a qi gong class and some pain at the junction of my thoracic and lumbar spine during forward bends.
I felt pain in the region of T12/L1 in forward bends, particularly when I wasn't focusing on lengthening my spine or on using my arms. Why didn't I just lengthen my spine and reach with my arms? Because I wanted the option not to have to do that.
And thus I started to explore the Serratus posterior inferior, a set of muscles that reaches down from the lower three or four ribs to attach to the bone that protudes from the back of the lower thoracic and upper lumbar vertebrae, the spinous process.
I found that I could activate this muscle (with a reasonable degree of surety) with a combination of first lifting the backs of the ribs and then creating a downward pull on the lower three ribs. In the process of experimenting with this I discovered that it caused the upper band of the transverse abdominus to activate.
This was important in the Qi Gong class I attend since I then found it easier to take impacts to the solar plexus.
And so just like the lower transverse abdominus working against the pelvic floor muscles, the middle band acting against the QL the upper band seems to work against the Serratus Posterior Inferior.
For those interested in the shape of muscles, it may be interesting to note that the pelvic floor muscles form a fan shape with the fan originating at the tailbone. The quadratus lumborum forms an upward pointing chevron pattern, and if the secon layer is present, also a downwards pointing chevron. The serratus posterior inferior also forms a dowwnards pointing chevron.
Perhaps even before I started experimenting with Agni Sara I remember walking to a coffee shop and having the insite that if the transverse abdominus is used to pull inwards on the waist, the obliques don't have to perform this function. They can then be used to twist (in combination with the intercostals) the ribcage or resist twisting. An idea that I believe is important in this regard is optimal muscle length. There is a length range within which muscles function well. As the relationship between pelvis and ribcage is changed, either by external action, say using the arms to drive a twist, or internal action, using the obliqeus to drive the twist, at some point the muscles may stretch beyond their effective length. Varying tension between the transverse abdominus and diaphragm to either bulge the belly or pull it inwards can vary the tension of the obliques making it easier or more difficult to continue to twist.
And so an important idea that builds up on this is learning to feel changes in muscle tension so that you can vary that tension accordingly.
And so here the idea of, say, learning to activate muscles in isolation isn't necessarily to control them, but so that you can learn to feel them, and recognize when they are or are not active, and so that you can add or reduce tension at will.
While it may be helpful to learn to activate these muscles in isolation, particularly if you are experiencing back or si joint pain, it may help to have a mroe general action that causes these muscles to activate automatically as required. One simple action is to lenghten your lumbar spine. The idea of lenghtening, or making the lumbar spine feel long is to give the spine sensation.
Muscles activating (and then relaxing) cause sensation. But that means that there is also tension, good tension, tension that gives your spine sensation and responsiveness. With practice the amount of sensation you add can be varied. It can be realtively easy (I think but take this with a grain of salt) to recognize when there is too much tension. It feels uncomfortable. But it also becomes easier to recognize the absense of tension that gives sensation. This isn't a bad thing either. It's like a bowperson who strings their bow when they want to use it but then takes the string of when they aren't intending to fire. But if they want to be ready then they keep the bow stringed.
And so the lesson here can be get used to maintaining tension while doing exercise, but know how to release that tension for rest. And learn to move in such a way that you can keep the tension.
