It frustrated me that Virginia Cavaliers football team seemed to be unable to beat any teams from Florida. Even Virginia hosted Miami Hurricanes at Charlottesville, they were unable to beat Miami! UVa routed North Carolina Tar Heels by 34 points and Miami lost to UNC. Virginia trashed Clemson, but lost to Florida State who also submitted a loss to Clemson!
It is mind-boggling and baffling.
On another note, Virginia Cavaliers women's basketball team opened the season with a dismal start. They lost to Arizona State then barely beats Maine. By losing to Arizona State, they missed the chance to beat No. 1 Louisiana State. By losing to Arizona State, it proved that the team is vulnerable to shitty season.
Oh, well.

"Like branches on a tree . . . . .
We may grow in different directions,
But our roots remain as one."
We are a close knit family,
Travelling together so happily.
Summer vacations and holidays,
Thought we'd be together always.
But three are here, one in heaven,
Love for each other, never lessen.
Thankful for those family ties,
Growing stronger, intensifies.
Like those branches on the tree,
Roots are joined forever, tightly.
Love you my Angel son.

Many clients are keen to prepare a Will to ensure that their estate is distributed according to their wishes when they die. However, often clients deliberate over preparing Lasting Powers of Attorney and quite often wish to re-visit these down the line rather than preparing them at the same time as their Wills. This guidance note briefly outlines the purpose and effect of a Lasting Power of Attorney and emphasises the importance of this document.
Lasting Powers of Attorney allow you to appoint people you trust to make decisions on your behalf if you ever become unable to do so yourself.
There are two types of Lasting Powers of Attorney, one in respect of property and financial affairs and the other in respect of health and welfare. These documents appoint attorney(s) to make decisions on your behalf should you lose capacity to do so for yourself, or in the case of the property and financial affairs document if you simply require assistance with the management of your affairs.
In the absence of a Lasting Power of Attorney, if you become unable to make decisions for yourself, the Court of Protection can become involved and appoint a deputy to act on your behalf, if it is deemed necessary. You may not have any control over who is appointed, and family and friends do not automatically have the right to take over managing your affairs, which can cause financial, legal and emotional problems for your family at an already difficult time. The Court is reluctant to appoint welfare deputies and seem to prefer to make one-off specific decisions, as and when required.
We would recommend preparing Lasting Powers of Attorney for the following reasons:
1) Certainty
Preparing a Lasting Power of Attorney allows you to appoint attorneys whom you know and trust to make decisions in your best interests if you are ever unable to do so in the future. This prevents a person whom you do not trust or do not know from applying to be your deputy if you were to lose capacity and someone was required to manage your financial affairs;
2) Reassurance
It is reassuring to know that your appointed attorney(s) can make decisions on your behalf and prevents a situation where a friend / family member does not have authority to make decisions for you or must apply to the Court to be able to do so;
3) Easier and cheaper
Preparing a Lasting Power of Attorney now will make things easier for your family and friends in the future. It will be more expensive, difficult and time-consuming for them to get the authority to act on your behalf when you are not able to give it. The Court fee alone is £400 for applying to be appointed as someone's deputy!
4) Clarity
When preparing a Lasting Power of attorney, you can provide your attorney(s) with your wishes and preferences in respect of your property and finances and health and welfare so that your attorney(s) know how you would like decisions to be made.
5) Peace of Mind
It may be that your Lasting Power of Attorney will never be used but you will have peace of mind that, if you become unable to manage your affairs or make decisions in relation to your health and welfare, you have chosen someone who you trust and who will act in your best interests to look after such matters on your behalf until your death.
The Private Client team at Clarion have a vast amount of experience in mental capacity advice, including advising on and preparing Lasting Powers of Attorney and Deputyship applications and the ongoing administration of someone's property and financial affairs where a Lasting Power of Attorney has not been prepared and the person has lost mental capacity. If you have any questions in relation to or require guidance on Lasting Powers of Attorney, and the two different types, please do not hesitate to contact the Private Client team on 0113 222 3243 or at firstname.lastname@example.com.

DASGIP Launches new Benchtop Bioreactor Line for Microbiology and Cell Culture
Product News Jun 03, 2009
DASGIP AG has expanded its bioreactor portfolio with the introduction of its new DR Benchtop Bioreactor line for cell culture and microbiology. A wide range of working volumes (0.7L to 3.8L) increases the versatility of the DASGIP Parallel Bioreactor System.
Broad usable working volumes, 16 industry standard headplate ports, and flexible agitation options combine to put the DR Benchtop Bioreactor Line at the forefront of bioreactor technology.
DASGIP DR bioreactors are offered in two sizes: DR03 (0.7L to 2.7L) and DR04 (0.8L to 3.8L).
New DASGIP fittings and adapters give the user maximum flexibility to utilize the eight M18x1.5 and eight 6mm ports integrate full instrumentation into the headplate. Capabilities include: monitoring and control of temperature, pH, DO and gas sparging. Off gas analysis, media exchange, and perfusion solutions can be incorporated as well.
Agitation schemes can be configured to suit microbial fermentation and cell culture applications. DASGIP overhead drives are available in two overlapping speed ranges. Mixing is accomplished using pitch blade impellers for cell culture or Rushton turbines and baffles for microbial fermentation.
All parts in contact with media are laser-etched with part numbers and have available certificates of origin.
A circular bed-plate with an incorporated non-slip ring provides a stable base to prevent tilting and sliding. The DR Bioreactor Line can be completely disassembled in order to save space while not in use.
The new DASGIP DR Benchtop Bioreactor Line enhances the reproducibility and scalability of the advanced DASGIP Parallel Bioreactor Systems. Each DASGIP control system can operate up to 16 bioreactors in parallel.

Don't be another statistic, ensure the success of your new business.
Are you in the process of opening up your own business? Many people rush into becoming a business owner, without really realizing what it entails. To run a successful business you must avoid making these common mistakes:
1. Not having clear objectives.
From the beginning, it is important to set clear and realistic objectives. Start by making a list of goals and objectives based on a quarterly timeline. In addition, ensure that all your employees are aware of the objectives. Just think about it, a business without clear objectives is like driving a car without a destination in mind.
2. Identify your potential customers.
Who is going to use your product or service? How will they be using your product or service? It is important for you to know who your customer is, so you know how to reach them and maximize your sales.
3. Test your ads.
Run several ads at once with different copy. By doing this you can see what wording resonates best with your customers.
4. Make a budget!
Budgeting is a must with any business, new or established. You should NEVER run the risk of your business running out of money. This is especially true for your advertising and marketing needs. Sit down and plan out how much you have to spend monthly or quarterly on your marketing. Think about promotions you want to run each month, and set that amount aside. Start small, and see what works for you business.
5. Don't give up.
Starting a business is not an easy task. On average you need to give your promotions at least 3 months before you decide to scrap a campaign. On that note, some promotions might take longer to drive results. As we said before, test your promotion on a smaller scale before you launch a larger promotion, and most importantly be patient. You need to give your business time to be found and talked about, and that takes time.
It's important that you find employees that will preserve the integrity of your company at all times. Sure, it could be easy to hire the first person that walks in the door, but think about it, one rude customer service experience can cost you not just that particular customer but all their friends and family. So screen your future employees, and ensure that they truly are the type of person that represents your business at its best.
Overall, to be successful you need to ensure you have an array of advertising mediums. Think a health mix of social media, search and maybe even some radio or print (depending on the nature of your business). In addition, don't just do one or two promotions and then simply wait for results. Be proactive, find new ways to reach your potential customers, think outside of the box and reach them in a relevant and unique way.
By avoiding these mistakes you can help your business achieve year round success. So plan ahead and get to it!

- Version: 1.5

- Update: July 14, 2018 at 12:32 am
- Available at: Google Play
Do you like throwing stones, so they glide on the water? It's a cool time-killer game when you catch a river. The stones must be flattened, the horizontal throws at a certain angle and the hand force must be just enough … there are many factors for your stone to successfully glide on the water and bounce beautiful curves on the far side. It's about reality, but what if it's applied in the game? The publisher of VOODOO has launched a highly anticipated ice skating game entitled Stone Skimming. It's time to test your ability to throw rocks.
Throw stones and make them skip as far as you can!
This game has quite simple gameplay. You will hold a stone and initially, you will have to specify the throwing power. A strength indicator from weak to strong, and the colour on which indicates the perfect level for the throw. A red line will move your socks along the index, and you have to match the appropriate red line to the right red dot for the throw. Too much love or too strong is not good. If the stone is too weak to have the force to fly away if too strong the stone will quickly sink. A sufficient hand is perfect to allow the stone to travel as far away as possible.
After you succeed, the stone will begin to glide. It will not just surf a few; it will go a long way, even a few hundred kilometres on the water. And of course, there are obstructions on the stone's track. Both sides of the mountains appear. In the middle is sometimes a large area and you only have very narrow roads, sometimes obstacles such as ships, lighthouses, floating objects in the sea, sea landmarks, etc. Alternate and you have to drag your left finger or have to let the stone go out of the way. Or it will hit the obstacle and stop immediately. You will not be allowed to drop the stone instead of the sea, as it will not be able to fly as it hits the stone. At the start of the flight, the stone will fly slowly, but in the middle of the road it will fly extremely fast, and you have to be really a person who has the flexibility and quick reflexes to be able to successfully escape the sudden blockage appears on the surf of the stone. Upon reaching the limit, the stone will begin to glide slowly until it stops completely and sinks into the water. And keeping the top of the screen indicates the farthest distance that the fly was flying before. Whether you successfully break the ice and make your stone go farther than that, you will be the winner.
After going through the hundreds of kilometres and completing the quest, you will receive a large amount of money and can reach a certain level to open a stone of any shape. And if you want to buy any other stone, you can buy it in the shop. You can also buy upgrades to help your stone reach even further, as long as you have the confidence to avoid obstacles on the way.
The game has 2D graphics with adorable graphics, like interesting animations. The game's bright and easy-to-see colours give you the most fun experience possible. A variety of stones with fun shaping, even the shape of a mobile phone. Sounds when the stone touches the mesmerizing water surface, you will definitely enjoy it.
Stone Skimming MOD is a great relaxing game. Besides, you can also show off your achievements with friends around. Improving your reflexes and flexibility, it's time to show yourself as the best player in this game. Download and enjoy!

LOS ANGELES (CBS) — Luis Hernandez awoke from surgery with one less kidney, but, knowing he helped save a man's life, it left him with a full heart.
His organ helped save Gaston Benjamin's life — a man Hernandez had never met.
When these two men met last week they were strangers. They now call themselves brothers.
"The guy is an angel," Benjamin said. "I believe there are angels on earth and he's one of them."
Besides being a blood match the two men are both prison guards in Southern California.
They may have compatible blood types but they're divided when it comes to football. Hernandez is a fan of the Dallas Cowboys and Benjamin is devoted to the San Francisco 49ers.
"I've always made jokes about Niner fans. I guess now I'm part Niner fan," Hernandez said. "But I told him you can't talk all your want, but a cowboy's keeping you alive."
Last fall, Hernandez, along with 40,000 other Department of Corrections employees received an e-mail asking for willing donors. He was one of 18 to answer. And the one man who ended up at the hospital.
UCLA Medical Center Surgeon Dr. Jeffrey Veale successfully transplanted the kidney on Tuesday.
Veale says before the donation was made, Benjamin was on a waiting list with 90,000 other people across the country.
Hernandez says he made one of the biggest decisions of his life, donating his kidney to a man he didn't know, because he says he didn't want a fellow father to leave his kids without a dad.
There were some relatives that questioned Hernandez's choice, asking, "What if you get sick?" or "What if someone in your family gets sick?"
Hernandez says he couldn't live his life on "what-if's."
"I had to try. If something happens down the line then that's fate or that's God's will."
Recovery has begun, and Benjamin is gaining strength quickly now with his new kidney functioning correctly. Hernandez, too, feels better every day, and both say their bond is beyond description.
I dont believe this story.This is prison propaganda designed to ease tensions not only amongst the inmates,but staff as well.This story has fabrication written all over it.
so if it were a crooked politician, it would be more believable? or if it were a ca. highway patrolman? until u live the life of a correctional officer or be a family member who worries whether or not he/she is coming home your opinion doesn't matter. this is why ur tax dollars pay the price for a killer/child molester/drunk driver to have better medical than you, better dental than you and much much more. if you wanted a sex change u would pay for it, and if the inmate wants a sex change you will be paying for that too and so on and so on.
i agree
The 2 above comments are ignorant, cynical and fraught from your @sses!
You would never understand what it is like to give of yourself for another–no matter how small or how big it may be.
You just created your Karma for the next life.
Wow! Really! A fabrication? A percentagr of people are paranoid conspiracy nutcases that will always be deluded.
This is a wonderful story. I'm grateful for people like Hernandez he is truly a good man and may God bless him and his family. My husband is also on the national donors list and reading this story brings me hope.

Harari's Sapiens and Homo Deux are excellent books which explain past and future of humanity. During the experiencing epic history of sapiens -normally- there are some discussions about the religions and existence of god are also exists. Summarily these discussions focus on the role of religion on the catalyzing of the collaboration of sapiens and effects of it the individual and social life. That is the result of religion and acceptable analyses. The hot topic of religion also continues with roots of them.
Where are the religions come from? Are they artificial? These questions get their answer implicitly in the book. The answer is religions cannot scientific things and no longer take place in the modern life. That statement is also true in large extent. Maybe up te now human have used religion as a 'tool' in his private life and in the political area. He has trusted to God to keep his life, orchard, and sanctuary. He has relaxed by the feeling existence of guardian. He looks to modern life then decide it would like there is no need to any God because living is a fundamental human right. In political area emperors, kings and other executors governed the people on behalf of god. Nowadays they are governing on behalf of the community. These anecdotal evidence help to us making this inference: Image of god is a product which developed by the humans to make life easier. With that feature as an 'intersubjective reality' god, democracy and brand of Peugeot are same and not real.
Whereas the book is not discussing religions ontologically. In the book paradigm, it is impossible because there is no postulate to develop a concept which proves the god. If so let's develop a special thinking experiment and discuss the ontology of god mathematically. After finishing this paragraphs you may do not be a religious person and you can convert your 'belief' from atheism to agnosticism. These paragraphs have not written to convince you to make you believe in god. All discussions about a 'fallacy'.
Umberto Eco cites comments of his relatives about the characters and places in his novels within his memoirs. Almost everything is artificial however their relatives believes those are real and lean on concrete memoirs from Eco's past. Meanwhile, his novels consist some real modified memoirs too. Up to reading Eco's memoir, I have believed everything in his novels is fictional.
Suppose life is a novel and there is a character named by gods like Tolkien's fictional universes and gods. The novelist has died. John says there is a god but Wyatt says no, this character is fictional. Which one is true? You may do a deterministic rational inference over the witness reports or manuscripts. You may think it does not look like realistic. Ask yourself: up to emerging Internet how many people conceived it except its inventors? Let's transfer our question beyond: What is the internet? Is it a concrete thing? Is is exist? No. Don't believe it. It is an invention just for collaborate people.
If you believe the lies there is no lie on the universe. Let's do not believe the lie of the religion of god. Then, let's discuss on god from the Bayesian perspective and change the matter. The cancer is the real thing. Diagnosis of cancer leans on several ways like tests, biopsy. For tests, every test way has an error rate that's why there are misdiagnosing issues. The accuracy of these test defining the parameters four parameters:
TP: True positive or number of the patient is cancer and their cancer test positive (as it should be) TN: True negative or number of the patient is healthy and their cancer test negative (as it should be) FP: False positive or number of the patient is healthy but their cancer test positive (Test error) FN: False negative or number of the patient is cancer but their cancer that negative (Test error)
The accuracy is calculating by (TP+TN)/(TP+TN+FP+FN)
If a medical test accuracy is %99.99 and your doctor has said you are cancer there is %0.01 possibility of misdiagnosis. That means you may be treated though you are not cancer. Vice versa is also possible. Your doctor says you are healthy, there is %99.99 possibility of cancer. You go home happily but you may die.
We are living in the chaotic universe of possibilities. Almost nothing is certain. Like Gerd Gigerenzer stated in his book "Risk Savvy" we need for statistical lessons than biology. We percept the things as if they are certain. Then, how the science works? It works on core math, logic and statistic. Hypotheses, theories, and laws comprise the science. There are no scientific statements which completely fictional. Everything works on rule of the game. Somebody may a hernia emerged after "agricultural revolution" by evidence. If somebody else finds an evidence which proves the hernia emerged before the agricultural revolution the first statement will be false. Everything is fallible.
Epistemology or the philosophy deal with what is 'right information' and what is 'wrong' have a lot of methodologies. Positivism says we can understand truth only with experiments on the other hand rationalist thinks we can understand everything with constructed thinking.
When we turn back our mundane life we do not use scientific rules of philosophical doctrines. We use heuristics and assumptions, evolutionary. For instance, you will never doubt whether your father is genetically your father. Why? Becuase it looks like you, you remember him from your childhood. So then, did you check it with DNA test even if DNA test also has very small error rate? Examples can be reproduced. We doing a lot of assumptions and if we are not paranoid we will never accuracy of them.
Maybe the image of god this kind of assumption you can neglect it. It is your personal choice. However, if you say science says there is 'no good' I kindly ask: what is the accuracy of this statement. If you say 'there is no god', is there false negativity? Remember, you go out from your doctor's office you say ok there is no cancer cell in my body but it is. This universe and unknown beyond of it bigger than your body and god is not a cell. We today know that there is not only one type of existence.
I have never calculated the accuracy of neglecting god. Because this life does not like a stock exchange market and belief is not kind of financial instrument. However, Pascal has done… Pascal's wager is a calculation of financial expected value of believing and disbelieving god. Financially it is worth to invest.

Day 20, Saturday, August 4, 2018
After I visited Knox College, I checked out another historic site in the small Illinois town of Galesburg. Carl Sandburg's birthplace home has been preserved and is now operated by the State of Illinois as a State Historic site.
Sandburg was born in 1878, served in the Spanish-American War, and won three Pulitzer prizes (including one for his biography of Lincoln) and the Robert Frost medal for his writing. He left school at the age of 13 to perform manual labor jobs, driving a milk wagon, a bricklayer, farm laborer, hotel servant and coal heaver. He did attend West Point for two weeks, and attended Lombard College, but never earned a degree.
Sandburg also worked for a time as a reporter in Chicago, and his writing is often about Chicago. His poetry focuses on the common man and often features working class themes. This focus on the themes of the common man allowed much of the American public to relate to his writing.
He moved to his estate in North Carolina, named Connemara, in 1945, and lived there and wrote until his death in 1967. After his cremation, his ashes were interred underneath a granite boulder at his birthplace home – he remains there today. Connemara is a National Historic Site now and I would love to visit there too!
Even though the Sandburg home was not a place I had on my list, it was certainly a worthwhile stop. The guide was very enthusiastic about the poet and had a lot of knowledge to share. I was the only one there when I visited and got to take my time looking at the exhibits. I let him know when I was ready to visit the home, and he took me over; I got to spend as much time as I wanted looking at the little home.
I left Galesburg after my tour of the Sandburg home to drive even deeper into the Land of Lincoln. I stopped by a grocery store to replenish my supplies and then I was headed toward Springfield!

We translate all Spanish academic documents to English for British authorities.
We provide signed, stamped certifications of our translations and these comply with British Home Office regulations.
This covers everything from Primary School up to and including PhD and post doctorial research.
This aspect of our translation work is most important at this time as Spanish people continue to enter the UK looking for work and they often urgently need to have their Spanish academic records translated into English.
Recently we have been very happy to be able to help many Spanish people by providing translations of all of their school and university documents whether these be their certificates or the documents giving the details of the subjects that they have studied and the grades that they have obtained.
Because we have lived many long years in Spain and worked within the Spanish education system, we feel that we are ideally placed to fully understand the subjects and Spanish academic grading system.
We are aware that these translations can get a little expensive so we try very hard to find ways to offer discounts.
The same basic principal exists for our academic translations.
If you ask for the translation of more than one document, we will offer you a discount.
By providing a professional translation service that complies with British authorities' requirements and regulations and offering the lowest fee that we can, at least in a small way we hope that we can help the Spanish people who are trying to set up a life here in Britain.
Please contact us for a no obligation quote or to make an enquiry.

There are two categories of continuation funding that can be applied for:
- Continuation 2-3
In some cases where three year funding is requested, the Trust may only award one year with further funding subject to specific conditions being met, including a review of progress over the past year. If you applied for three year funding and only received one year, please refer to the condition of award which should be clearly outlined in your (Year 1) award email.
If eligible for 2-3 year continuation funding, we will email you approximately 3 months prior to the end of your award period with a link to our online application form.
- Continuation 4-5
We are reaching the final stages of preparing our new Strategy which we look forward to sharing with you in summer 2020. Our current Giving themes are being reviewed as part of this and we have therefore decided not to commit to further 4 & 5 years continuation funding until these have been agreed. We do recognise the importance of longer-term funding, a message reinforced through our stakeholder engagement, and this issue is being considered as part of our review process. Apologies for any inconvenience and please do check our website in the New Year for future updates.

Unfortunately I already wrote a beginning to this blog 2 times, and it got erased both times, so I'll try again.
Silence. Quiet. Breath. Pregnant pause. Calm. Peaceful. Meditative. The silent moments in a therapy sessions, filling the room. Hearing the noise in your head when you try to quiet the mind. Death. Sleep. Dreaming. Awakening. Feeling words in your head but they can't come out. Non verbal communication. Silent witness. Silent treatment. Quiet art making, uncomfortable silence, an angel just flew through the room. Silent meditation retreat….
These are just some associations to the idea of silence. It can be deeply relaxing to be silent with someone or incredibly uncomfortable. Both children and adults at times choose on purpose to stop talking. In some cases, as a result of some kind of trauma, including deaths, accidents and all kinds of abuse, a child or adult can become "selectively mute." S/he has not stopped being able to talk, but has "chosen" to stop saying anything out loud. The younger the person, the less control they tend to have over it. Adults in group settings report noticing that they have decided not to say anything for whatever reason, often to see what happens if they do not talk, and whether anyone notices. In a group therapy setting, a good group therapist will notice this pretty quickly and note it to the group and the person without putting pressure on him or her to say anything. In 12 Step groups, members will just wait until the new person feels comfortable enough to talk. The positive effect of this, is that the person will feel accepted and ok to just sit there and be welcomed and supported without having to say anything, which is often too scary for them. Usually the effect is positive, and the person will continue attending meetings because they feel no pressure to do anything but just show up, and often eventually after many meetings, this person will suddenly be moved to share with others. The same may be true for group therapy. Usually the group therapist asks the members to "just show up consistently" and the rest will take care of itself. In fact, when I was in one of my early jobs in my career doing a weekly group with my caseload, I forgot what this group was called, but every case manager did the group once a week, anyway, I got very concerned with coming up with ways to "fill" the group, with talk about some topic, or special music or other types of ways to hold the group. I still remember my supervisor saying, "You're trying too hard, which is why you are finding this group stressful for you. Just show up and the group will be fine with that. Try to work less." It was some of the best advice I ever got about leading/facilitating group therapy; I did what she said, and felt more relaxed with the group, and they probably felt more relaxed with me. Group art therapy is especially holding and comfortable for people who don't like to talk in front of others that they don't know well, especially when very intimate and personal issues are being shared. The good thing is that the silent member of the group can still communicate a lot nonverbally about himself or herself in the art work.
The Silent Treatment. Who has not used that with a romantic partner or parent? It's so nasty and effective. If you've been on the receiving end of the silent treatment, you probably felt very hurt and upset. It's very hard to deal with a loved one refusing to talk, especially when there is probably a lot to talk about and both people involved feel hurt and angry… Often the "Silent Treatment" can really be toxic and put a stop to any kind of positive form of processing and communicating, as both people move further away from each other, unless the silence gets broken.
Silent Retreat: quite the opposite of the above paragraph, as going on a Silent Retreat with a meditation group can be very eye opening for the individual. Choosing to be in a structured situation of complete silence for a week or even a weekend can be very powerful. People notice their inner voices that won't shut up because as they are quiet, they become highly aware of their mind, which is usually very noisy, as all our minds are full of noisy voices, often critical exacting voices constantly commenting on what we're doing and what's wrong with it. When you choose to be silent for so many days, you become extremely painfully aware of your different "Selves". It becomes like peeling an onion, and the more time you spend, the better you can be at quieting your mind so you can become more aware, more awake, more present to the here and now, and get out of your "Noisy Mind". Some people choose one day of the week to be quiet all day, as a kind of day of rest and way to get in touch with where you're at and Be Here Now…
There is another kind of noise in our world that we can choose to shut out and it is not necessarily sound though sometimes it does involve actual sound. Try a day with no TV, no internet, no texting, phoning or emails, no radio or outside info from the outer world. You don't have to stop talking all together to become more present to your inner state and to what is going on around you. This is what vacations are truly for, to take a break from your life and all the "noise" in it and get relaxed and calm to be in a state of mind where you can accept yourself and even get to know yourself better.

Showing results for tags 'cone 6 electric'.

So I was thinking about glazes and I fire my kiln at 108F/h to cone 5 and hold for 60 minutes. This got me thinking about trying orton's other rate of climb. Trying something like 27F per hour to cone 6 instead of using a hold at cone 5. So fire to 2111F, 1965F then climb to 2165F at 27F/per hour. I was wondering if anyone has tried this type of schedule? I am curious at the differences it would make in my glazes. Instead of going straight cone 6, changing to cone 5 with an hour hold improved my glazes a lot. It got me thinking about trying this. Anyone fire at that final rate of 27F/h? Did it improve your glazes or no change?

Permeable pavement systems can be effective and sustainable…if you select a site suitable for a permeable pavement and design it for maximum performance. The key to building for performance is to provide sufficient structural capacity to accommodate anticipated vehicle loads and stormwater flowing in and out.
Get beyond the basics and into the details! Join David Hein to explore the key elements and best practices in the selection of a suitable site and the appropriate design and construction of permeable pavements (porous asphalt, pervious concrete, permeable interlocking concrete, and grid pavements) through real-world examples of permeable pavement designs for roadways, shoulders, and parking areas.
In this second session of our Permeable Pavement Master Class Series, we'll explore key considerations for assessing the suitability of a particular site for the installation of a permeable pavement. Then, we will provide structural and hydrological design procedures, as well as the challenges and applications of permeable pavements. As part of this discussion, Hein will overview the design considerations and best practices of porous asphalt, pervious concrete, permeable interlocking concrete blocks, and grid pavements, including:
Additionally, we'll discuss each of the above through real-world worked examples and case studies illustrating the "dos" and "don'ts" of design features to help you know what to look out for when constructing permeable pavements.

PARIS: We need to better showcase the economic case for climate action, says Felipe Calderón, former President of México and Chair of the Global Commission on the Economy and Climate, in The Climate Group's latest exclusive Climate TV interview, released during the global COP21 climate talks in Paris.
"It is not anymore a question of lack of evidence about how climate change is human caused," Felipe Calderón says. "Today, it is important to provide any decision-taker in government or in the business sector with evidence that tackling climate change doesn't imply sacrificing economic growth."
Such evidence is prominent in the New Climate Economy report Better Growth, Better Climate, which was published last year a few days before Climate Week NYC, as well as more recently with 10 ways to drive a low carbon future. "We can create jobs, we can have poverty alleviation, but at the same time, tackle climate change," says Felipe Calderón. "And this report shows that it is possible, and we can get several drivers of economic growth doing the right things in order to reduce the climate risk."
However, governments must raise the level of climate ambition and support the change business world is asking for. "There are several things that the governments can do in order to establish the right economic incentives to foster the transition to a low carbon economy," continues Felipe Calderón. "If I need to choose one, that could be measures in order to establish carbon price – either tax on carbon or a cap-and-trade system.
"These kind of measures must be taken regardless of the revenues for the governments, which actually are good. In fact, they provide the economic incentives for any company to reduce carbon emissions, to save energy, even in their self-interest. Another measure that governments can take is to remove fossil fuel subsides: it is absurd that we are paying for polluting."
The message for policymakers is then: "Take action, take decisions now. What is damaging the business environment is not the possibility that new measures regarding tackling climate change are coming, but the uncertainty that governments have not decided yet to take action. And this 'flip-flop' attitude is hurting decisions and investment in the private sector. The message that is coming from the business sector is decide right now, in the right direction."
The climate talks in Paris can be a great opportunity to spur this shift. But apart from putting a price on carbon and phasing out fossil fuel subsidies, it is important to "establish clear and long-term policies that could provide certainty for anyone to invest – that could be built between public and private sector.
"At the same time, to invest much more in research and development – investing public funds in that – and improve technology. The New Climate Economy is providing evidence to anyone in the sense that it is feasible, it is possible to have economic growth and at the same time tackle climate change."

There is reassurance in familiar things, so there is always reassurance in other things that look like, well, the things we already own. That's one reason why building homes in clusters of three or four is a good idea; it creates that sense of community and safety without the unsettling feeling of anonymity and facelessness that can arise when one's house is part of a large development of hundreds that are exactly identical. Of course, there are less emotional and more practical considerations too that might cause this to be a sensible course of action; the cost of materials and construction, most obviously, is significantly reduced when buildings are being produced en masse.
But that sense of uniqueness – even in sameness – really is absolutely key to doing this right. For that reason, this collection of three family homes in Göttingen is worth taking a closer look at. Designed by Scholz & Fuchs Architects, the houses walk that fine like between community and individuality. Very similar in their overall style but each with its own unique personality, the houses occupy a large piece of land that is close to being communal, with only low fences marking out the garden space of each particular home. This would be an ideal situation for three families with similarly aged children to live in; each house quickly growing as familiar to the children as their own.
This image gives a good impression of the overall look of this mini-development. Each house sticks to a limited colour palette of white and grey with warm wooden accents. The two houses pictures here appear broadly similar upon first glance, but take a closer look and you'll quickly notice all the little quirks here and there that set them apart from one another: windows of different sizes placed at different angles and wooden lean-tos in similar but mismatching positions are a couple of the small disparities that help manifest their own personalities.
Outdoor space is very important here, particularly as it contributes so vitally to the near-communal sense of belonging that this group of houses appears to aim to foster. A fish pond and lawn furniture help make the most of this house's garden area, from which playing children could easily hop the fence to visit their next-door neighbours.
That beautifully rich wood brings so much life into what would otherwise be a fairly monochrome and uninspiring colour palette.
Inside one of the houses, we discover a simple interior carefully designed to match the exterior. A minimalist staircase – reduced simply to its steps – low-hanging lights, an extremely generous use of white and a glass-barriered landing that overlooks the living room all contribute to an intensely modern, intensely simple feel.
On the left we can see that more of that wonderful wood has made it into the bathroom, while the right-hand image gives us a closer look at those magical floating stairs that drives home just how unsuitable these would be for sufferers of vertigo.

On The Rise: Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
When people hear about fatty liver disease (FLD), they usually shrug it off as something that happens to people who consume alcohol every day or who binge drink. Add in poor dietary habits, and it's a recipe for FLD, cirrhosis, and even liver organ failure.
But today, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is increasing in prevalence, and not just in adults—children are being diagnosed with NAFLD at an alarming rate. In fact, NAFLD has become the most common cause of liver disease and can lead to NASH (nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, which is liver cell damage as well as fat and inflammation in the liver), cirrhosis, and liver cancer. According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (part of the National Institutes of Health):
- 30 to 40 percent of adults (about 1 in 3) have NAFLD
- about 10 percent of children between the ages of 2 and 19 in the US have NAFLD
- between 80 and 100 million Americans have NAFLD
- approximately 7 million American children have NAFLD
- 38 percent of children with NAFLD are obese
- 23 percent of children with NAFLD have NASH
- 24 percent of people globally have NAFLD, nearly doubling over the past 14 years
Like the name states, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is an accumulation of fat in the liver that's not caused by regular or excessive alcohol consumption. Risk factors include hypothyroidism, insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, type 2 diabetes (which can also result from NAFLD), obesity, choline deficiency (an essential nutrient; approximately 90 percent of Americans are deficient) and other factors. In addition, prescription and OTC medications as well as poor dietary choices also lead to NAFLD, including things like fried foods, foods and drinks with added sugar, carb-heavy foods (white bread, pasta, etc.), fat-laden foods, and high amounts of salt. The liver needs plenty of water to help it function optimally, so dehydration—something that affects up to 75 percent of Americans—can be another contributing factor.
As reported by many sources including the National Institutes of Health (NIH), NAFLD is the primary cause of chronic liver disease, and its prevalence is increasing at a rate equal to the increase of obesity. Researchers believe that soon, NAFLD will become the main cause of liver-related illness and death. Although the medical community has found very few treatments for NAFLD, a strong spotlight is now being focused on the liver-gut-diet connection, since there's a close functional association between the gut and liver. In an NIH review on PubMed, researchers stated that "the current evidence supports the association between NAFLD, the gut microbiome, and the role of diet."
Research from multiple studies has found that exercise is one important component to preventing NAFLD and other diseases of the liver. Resistance exercises in particular were shown to lower the amount of fat in the liver and also significantly reduced cholesterol levels. Studies also showed that any type of physical activity can help—liver fat in participants of the study decreased 0.87% for every 1,000 steps taken, whereas liver fat increased 0.87% for every hour of sedentary behavior.
The latest study states that probiotics were beneficial in treating both NAFLD and NASH—with no major adverse side effects. Not only did probiotics restore gut flora to normal, they also reversed or stopped the progress of these diseases. The importance of a healthy gut microbiome is something functional medicine practitioners have long known, and your functional medicine doctor can determine which type of probiotic will return balance to your microbiome. But remember that probiotics, like all other supplements, are not a one-size-fits-all solution—it's never a good idea to self-prescribe supplements.
Every probiotic is different, not all are of good quality, and not everyone needs the same amount or the same type. Taking the wrong probiotic or the wrong quantity for your particular imbalance can throw your gut balance even further out of whack.
While the right probiotic for your gut health is important for many reasons, supplements alone aren't enough. Dietary changes are necessary to get and keep your microbiome in proper balance which, for the most part, will eliminate the types of foods that contribute to or worsen NAFLD. In general, a diet of whole foods—fresh fruits and vegetables, healthy fats, grass-fed meats, whole grains—is great for your gut balance and can help make you healthier in general.

Established as an institution in Wanchai, Stone Nullah Tavern has entrenched itself in the community with its consistent friendliness, fun-loving attitude, delicious New American food and unbeatable happy hour deals. Much of this is down to chef Vinny Lauria and his special brand of inspired dining experiences.
How's the vibe of Wanchai different from other parts in Hong Kong? It's a great juxtaposition of old Wanchai and new Wanchai. We feel very nestled into a special neighbourhood in Hong Kong. It's one of the oldest neighbourhoods on the island.
Would you compare Wanchai to any similar districts in other big cities? The energy on Stone Nullah Lane is special. We all walked into the space and instantly were transported to Brooklyn. We looked at each other the first time we saw the space and just felt the vibe.
Where is your favourite place to eat in Wanchai? It's on the border of Wanchai and Causeway Bay. You can find me at Lee's Family Chicken or Ichiran a lot of nights. Some of the best food in Hong Kong, but pretty undiscovered considering how f**king good it is.
You're well known for your sustainability and ecological practices in your restaurants. How did this become a passion project for you and how has it evolved over time? It's just a way to cook for me. My father always told me, "There is a right way and a wrong way to do things. You make the choice." It's the only way to me. As I educate myself more, I continue to find ways to get better at it. And I have a lot of people around me now that inspire that.
Any new projects coming up for you? Linguini Fini is expanding. We have people coming from other countries to work with us in Hong Kong. It only drives the creativity of the flagship Hong Kong shop. There is a lot that happens every time I visit Hanoi and Manila. It drives my inquisition. Makes me ask, what more can I do? What resources have I not reached here in Hong Kong?

Gunning for Hits #1
Writer: Jeff Rougvie
Art: Moritat
Colors & Letters: Casey Silver
Publisher: Image Comics
A review by Greg Brothers
The music industry is filled with verified and unverified stories about how bands have been discovered or burned by shady record executives. Of course, no time was wrought with such stories as the 1980s as the industry was brimming with money as MTV made bands famous overnight. What better setting for a crime-filled drama than those backrooms that are filled with mystery and treachery.
Martin Mills is a talent scout with an unsavory past who has a reputation for finding the right band at the right time. Currently, he finds himself in a small nightclub in Connecticut trying to beat his rivals in signing a new band. He knows that if the deal is not signed today, then when the band hits New York city the price is going to go up. Martin is a veteran at the music business and knows how to make a deal that no bad could ever resist.
Rougvie has a history within the music business, and that is obvious from the first page. He has been able to take that intimate knowledge and create a story that is suspenseful, humorous, and surprising all at once. As enjoyable as the read is, it is a very dense read. Rougvie takes that knowledge and lays out for the reader exactly what went into signing bands back in the heyday of the '80s. For someone who has an interest in the music industry is it a fascinating read. However, if your musical knowledge begins and ends with the top forty pop station, you may find yourself flipping through the pages aimlessly.
Moritat's art tends to fit the theme of the storytelling perfectly. Character emotions are easily recognizable which is important because the text is exposition heavy. Without the superior art, it would have made the story even denser. During a chunk of that exposition, Moritat changes style completely. It works for a time however it feels as if it goes on a little too long. Perhaps if the use of the alternative style had been spread out, it would not have felt so overused. The coloring helps to lend to the mystery as the grim and shadowy backroom is represented well.
Verdict: Wait and See
Gunning for Hits has a ton of potential. The setting is perfect for a mystery, treachery, and maybe even murder. Where the first issue suffers is the amount of set up that is needed to be able to move those other stories forward. If issue two can move away from being so text heavy and let the art and action tell part of the story, then Image will have a hit on their hands. If not Gunning for Hits may end up being only for those who has a true love for music and its sordid past.

The University of North Carolina at Pembroke will host a meeting Friday of the deans and directors from across the UNC System libraries.
This will be the first time the University Library Advisory Council (ULAC) has met at UNCP. ULAC is composed of the directors of the 17 university libraries and a representative from the UNC System Office.
"The University Library Advisory Council holds a deep commitment to system-wide sharing, collaboration, and leadership," said Jan Lewis, director of the Joyner Library at East Carolina University and ULAC president.
"ULAC leverages its combined resources and expertise to advise the UNC System Office and to provide excellent and cost-effective collections, services, and technologies that stimulate creativity, learning, and scholarship. Meeting on campuses across the state helps us achieve this mission, as we learn about both the successes and challenges our members' experience."
"We are excited to visit UNC Pembroke and thank Dr. Dennis M. Swanson, dean of Livermore Library, Chancellor Robin Gary Cummings, and UNC Pembroke for hosting the summer ULAC meeting."
One of the main objectives is to develop a strategic plan for all of the system libraries. Dr. Anne Moore, dean of the Atkins Library, at UNC Charlotte is leading this effort.
"We are delighted for the opportunity to kick off our strategic planning process for all of the UNC System libraries at UNC Pembroke."
ULAC has secured the services of Mark Gogal, interim vice chancellor of Advancement at UNCP, along with Barb Kunz of the NC Department of Health and Human Services, to facilitate the planning process. The goals are to engage in closer system-wide cooperation, resource sharing, training, joint purchasing arrangements, and other strategic initiatives to enhance student success.
The meetings will be held all day on Friday in the Chancellor's Dining Hall. There will also be a working lunch with the deans of UNC Pembroke meeting with the ULAC members. The ULAC members will also be touring the campus and Livermore Library remodeling work.

Georgia Rule
By Ian Forbes
No Comments
Transamerica, Barbarella and Firecrotch … coming next fall on Fox!
Theatrical Release Date: 05/11/2007
Director: Garry Marshall
Cast: Lindsay Lohan, Jane Fonda, Felicity Huffman, Dermot Mulroney, Cary Elwes
Audiences love stories about families that struggle through their issues and reconnect in the end. It makes the world seem less harsh, like there's a point to our lives.
While it didn't make much of a splash at the box office its opening weekend, "Georgia Rule" drew its share of people looking for a feel good story … only I think I'm going crazy because films this season seem to be manipulating their trailers more than usual to entice target demographics, then they pull the rug out from under people, and still, audiences leave feeling sated.
First there was "The Invisible", then "Waitress" and now "Georgia Rule".
The trailer for this film depicts a rebellious teen, an estranged mother and a cantankerous grandmother. Awww … isn't that sweet?
Well, what the trailers don't tell you is that the teen is acting out because her stepfather (who's still married to mommy) has been sexually abusing her since she was 12.
Yup, it's a child abuse film. Wheee … is it still sweet?
Now I see why Lindsay Lohan was cast into this role. No, I'm not making allegations about her past, just going from what I've read. She had an alcoholic father with a checkered criminal past.
Between the spotlight on her as a teen celebrutant to her issues partying too much (during the production of this film) to her recent rehab stint, Lohan has dealt with enough bad things in her life to know this character … at least a little bit.
Her performance isn't always great but there are moments where you see her become this character in a very believable and sincere way.
Felicity Huffman's character was a little two-dimensional for me and it almost seems like her character was the last one written in because the story tried to make the grandmother-granddaughter relationship the central focus.
There were some excellent exchanges between Fonda and Lohan, which is hard for me to write down, but it's true. Sure there were times when I thought Lohan was channeling her role in "Herbie Fully Loaded", but there were also times where you got to see both the pain and understanding these two characters share.
The men in the film are almost inconsequential. McDermott plays his normal savior archetype, brooding and deadpanning his way through the film; Elwes plays the flipside of his role in "The Crush"; Garrett Hedlund plays the morally just Mormon hard body conveniently existing to be the kind of guy a troubled girl like Lohan should be dating.
If this were a play, there would only be the three women and everything would take place in the house, as they bicker back and forth, launching verbal assaults at each other until they reach mutual understanding and acceptance.
But this is a motion picture, so the scope had to increase and I just still can't get past how much the actual film diverges from the audience expectations.
Now, I'm all for films with dark material that tackle hard issues. Though it baffles me why Hollywood thinks it can sneak these topics into fluff films. Either go big or go home, don't wishy wash the issue by decorating the surface.
And still, audiences put down their money.
I've never had much faith in the general public. Mob mentality is a strong social motivator … we're sheep. We buy what the commercials tell us to, we wear what the celebrities say is hip and we only care about world issues if it's trendy to do so.
Is it one hell of a stretch to see this trend in movies as a reflection of a confused and disingenuous society? Sure … but am I wrong?
Since this site is supposed to be about movie reviews, I'll get off my high horse, shoot it and have a barbeque. I'm giving "Georgia Rule" a 3 out of 5. The film isn't what it appears to be but it treats the abuse issues with enough respect and sincerity to garner my passing grade.
I really wanted to rip this film apart, throw out a scathing critique of Lohan and make jokes about Fonda and the Vietnam War … but every once in a while my preconceptions are wrong about a film … though if the trailer hadn't lied to me, maybe I'd have adjusted those notions … maybe.

Facebook was heavily criticized this week for its "Related Articles" algorithm after users who clicked to read a real news story about Michelle Obama on The Boston Globe's Facebook page were offered two fake stories called "President and First Lady Caught Having S*X in the Oval Office" and "Barack Has Lost All Control Of Michelle."
Facebook selects and promotes stories based on popularity on the site and word association, though they do not verify whether or not content is true. Emily Bell, director of Columbia Journalism School's Tow Center for Digital Journalism, criticized the site, which is one of the biggest content sharing platforms in the world, for irresponsibly promoting content that isn't true.
"They have really screwed up," she told The Boston Globe. "If you are spreading false information, you have a serious problem on your hands. They shouldn't be recommending stories until they have got it figured out."
Facebook responded to the criticism by saying that they are merely a content aggregator, and are no more responsible for verifying news stories than they are for checking up on the content in users' status updates. However, media critics say the site should take more responsibility for what it promotes.
"There is absolutely a danger here to the manipulation of an information platform," Nicholas Diakopoulos, a fellow at Columbia's Tow Center, told the Globe. "The algorithms influence what we see, influence us to do certain things. It certainly could skew perceptions. It could spread misinformation."

Cauliflower Crust:
- Egg Replacer equal to 2 eggs
- 2 c vegan mozzarella cheese
- 2 c riced cauliflower (grate the cauliflower on a cheese grater)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- ¼ c fresh julienned basil
Pizza Toppings:
- 1 c marinara sauce (1/4 cup per pizza)
- 1 zucchini, thinly sliced
- 1 yellow zucchini, thinly sliced
- 1/2 white onion, thinly sliced
- Basil Ricotta
Basil Ricotta:
- 1 c vegan tofu ricotta
- 1 tbsp fresh chopped basil
- pinch salt and pepper
For basil ricotta, combine all ingredients in a bowl and set aside until ready to use.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, spray with non-stick spray.
In a medium bowl, combine riced cauliflower, basil, eggs and mozzarella. Divide into 4 amounts and press evenly on the parchment paper. You can omit the basil or sub it for others herbs of your choice.
Bake the crusts at 450 degrees for 12-15 minutes. (I went for about 13 minutes and wish I had gone to 15 minutes. But that's just a taste preference.)
Remove the cookie sheet from the oven.
Add marinara sauce to each pizza.
Then add toppings: sliced zucchini and sliced onions.
Drop the basil ricotta cheese on the vegetables by spoonfuls (I used a small cookie scoop). I pressed down slightly on the ricotta so it would be a little flatter.
Place back in the oven until cheese is melted, about 5 – 10 minutes.

China firmly opposes mercenary activities in Africa, and will always support African nations' pursuit of peace and prosperity, said Chinese Permanent Representative to the United Nations Ma Zhaoxu.
Mercenary activities are a threat to peace and stability in African countries, and China calls for greater international efforts to address the problem, said Ma, as Chinese President Xi Jinping's special representative at a UN Security Council meeting on mercenary activities in Africa.
He said these activities interfere with the internal affairs of the developing countries, and infringe on their sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity, adding that China stands firmly against such activities.
The Chinese representative urged the international community to support African countries in accelerating their development, reducing poverty, eliminating the root causes for conflict and turmoil, and stepping up socio-economic development in African countries.
Ma also pledged China's continued support for Africa to achieve peace, stability and development, and expressed the hope for China and Africa to jointly build a closer community with a shared future.
Monday's meeting was called by Equatorial Guinea, which holds the rotating presidency of the Security Council in February.
Shortly before the meeting, Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, president of Equatorial Guinea, spoke highly of the bilateral relations between his country and China during his meeting with Ma.
Obiang also said he attached importance to Equatorial Guinea's relations with China, adding that he was willing to further promote cooperation between the two countries in various fields.

The holidays are meant to be a time of great joy and cheer, but sometimes they can be downright stressful. Especially, when we aren't planning enough time for ourselves. That's why I wrote this week's blog. While the holiday season will always be a little hectic, not sticking to your healthy habits can result in you feeling run down (or even worse…sick!) over the holidays. Here are a few tips to keep you working out and eating right this holiday! Tips for Working Out During the Holiday • Pencil it In. You are less likely to skip your workout if you make a point to pencil it into your calendar. Look over your plans for the holiday and figure out when and where a workout could fit in. • Keep it Short. You don't have to run a marathon. Schedule a quick HIIT circuit or a walk with the family to keep your body moving. • Get the Family Involved. After all, there's nothing like skating or tobogganing to get you in the holiday spirit. Tips of Eating Healthy During the Holidays • Try Your Best. Let's face it, it's hard to eat clean during the holidays. If you do happen to fall Read more…
Tips for Having a Healthy Holiday Season!
Natural Allergy Relief for the Springtime Sniffles
It's that time of year again: allergy season. Are you one of the millions of Canadians suffering from: • Itchy, watery eyes; • A runny nose; • Constant sneezing; or • A wheezy cough? Common springtime allergens like mold spores, pollen and grass can cause an array of symptoms. When allergy symptoms strike, many people automatically reach for antihistamines but do they really work? The truth: Allergy medications serve to temporarily relieve symptoms, but do nothing to address the underlying cause. Ever wonder why some people are affected by seasonal allergies while others aren't? An allergy is not caused by the allergen itself, but by the immune system's inability to fight off the adverse effects of the allergen. In other words, the immune system is too tired, stressed or weak to fight off the allergen. So, allergies = poor immune function. The good news is, there are natural ways to beat seasonal allergies and improve your immune function. So, before reaching for over the counter meds, try some of the natural strategies below! Natural Allergy Relief 1. Eat Right. A healthy diet is key to a healthy immune system. Eat more fresh, whole foods and do your best to avoid sugar and Read more…
Get Rid of Bad Headaches with these 6 Practical Tips
Headaches are a difficult health issue to walk around with. Mostly, because they're an invisible problem. They don't make noise like indigestion or show on your skin like eczema. Outsiders can't tell that they are there, yet the symptoms that accompany headaches are often debilitating for sufferers.
Best Fats for Cooking
Are you confused about which fats are good and bad? I do not blame you – there's a lot of conflicting information about fats out there. Some myths just won't die. The biggest one is that eating fat leads to weight gain. While recent studies show that's not true, we still see books and articles advocating for low-fat diets for faster weight loss. Fats play a major role in weight loss and overall health. They help absorb other nutrients you consume, balance hormone levels, maintain cell structure and much more. However not every type of fat. Eating bad fats (trans fats, and hydrogenated oils) can lead to heart disease, high cholesterol, weight gain, depression and other diseases. Not only should you know which fats are healthy and which are not, but you should also know which fats are safe to cook with. Some fats are better consumed in their room temperature state as they react with the heat and become unhealthy fats. What are the Best Fats for Cooking ? When you're cooking with high heats, you would want to use oils that do not oxidize or go rancid easily, as these can cause harmful free radicals that are damaging Read more…

You Have No Excuses Not to Eat Healthy Everyday #ThankYouSocialMedia
The North American lifestyle is one of the most fast pace lifestyles in the world. People often have excuses for not having enough time to exercise, sleep enough, eat healthy, or simply just take care of themselves period! The one thing that I think people really overestimate is how easy it is to cook a quick and healthy meal every day. It is 2015 and the sources for this information are endless. Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, and just googling the World Wide Web will suffice. Social media has had a huge impact over the years on how people find information. This also includes great information like healthy recipes anyone can easily find on any social media outlet. Here are a few quick ideas you can look up online.
