Background: Chronic, recurrent abdominal pain (RAP) is common in children and adolescents where it impacts on everyday life, causes absence from school, and leads to frequent medical consultations. Aims: to establish to what extent psychosocial factors and negative life events can be identified in children with RAP. Methods: we investigated 78 children with functional abdominal pain (age 5-14 y). One hundred thirty-one healthy school children acted as controls. Questionnaires were used for to assess psychological symptoms, negative life events and socioeconomic factors. The psychological assessment comprised 3 clinical scales (Depression, Anxiety and Behavior) totaling 35 items and was answered by the parents. Scores were calculated (separately and totally) and correlated with those of controls. Results: Family movement, economic difficulties and low socioe.. Read More»

Research Topics
We study relationships between genetic variation and phenotypic traits using statistical methodology. A broad class of such problems is related to association mapping of genetic polymorphisms that are involved in disease susceptibility, response to medicine, and differential reactions to environmental exposures. Development of novel statistical methods to accompany technological advances is essential in order to further efforts to improve health-related quality of life and treat and prevent disease. Identification of genetic pathways whose dysfunction leads to disease can help to accelerate understanding of environmentally induced disruptions of those same pathways. Human genetic data is currently being produced at an increasing rate. The sheer volume of data and its complexity create new challenges for methodological research. How not to drown in the data while extracting useful signals? Our research focuses on developing efficient methods for detecting and characterizing genetic associations with discrete and quantitative traits, while taking into account the large and expanding scale of genomic data.

"Sorry for the delay," Taron Egerton says, setting his iPhone on a table. "I can literally say that I had to take a call from Elton John."
Little more than 12 hours have passed since the lights came up inside the Cannes Film Festival's grandest theater, revealing the actor and the iconic musician he plays in "Rocketman" both in tears. The crowd around them rose to its feet as the two embraced, sobbing into the other's shoulder. Then they migrated down the Croisette to a party on the beach, where the 29-year-old and the 72-year-old duetted together for hundreds of guests standing in their black-tie attire on the sand.
"It was just the perfect day," Egerton says — one of the best of his young life. But he started it off anxious, walking into the Grand Thetre Lumiere with his breath high in his chest. He couldn't relax for the first 45 minutes of the film, seated beside John as the performer faced depictions of emotionally turbulent years filled with parental neglect, sexual confusion and substance abuse.
"He only saw it for the first time yesterday, which is why I think he was so profoundly moved," Egerton says. "He's lived a life less ordinary, but it's not been an easy life, I don't think. So to see him, relive some of that and have such an acute emotional reaction? It's an emotional thing for me."
Hence the call from John just now, "taking a moment to be happy" over the resoundingly positive reviews that poured in overnight. After a long night of drinking beer, Egerton is now mainlining coffee in a hotel suite overlooking the waterfront where he performed hours earlier. His Tricker's loafers, he points out, are coincidentally the brand's "Elton" style.
He's trying not to look at his phone, but it keeps lighting up. First came a text from Jamie Bell, who plays John's songwriting partner Bernie Taupin in the film. "You're my brother," wrote Bell, who couldn't make the premiere because his wife was about to have a baby. And there were a few from his mother, who showed him "The Lion King" when he was 5, the movie in which he first heard John sing.
"I've had some fab calls," he acknowledges. "But you know, we've got a long way to go, and we don't know how things are going to go."
Indeed, no matter how splashy the debut, the timing of "Rocketman" is also nerve-racking. The film, which opens Friday in the U.S., comes on the heels of fall's "Bohemian Rhapsody," the Freddie Mercury biopic that earned an astonishing $900 million at the global box office. In February, Rami Malek earned a lead actor Oscar for his performance as the Queen frontman. And "Rocketman" director Dexter Fletcher had stepped in to finish production on "Bohemian Rhapsody" when that film's credited director, Bryan Singer, was fired.
The comparisons are inevitable. And no matter how good "Rocketman" is, or how good Egerton is, does it arrive too soon for another portrait of a rock 'n' roll star to be fully embraced?
Egerton says he hopes the success of "Bohemian Rhapsody" proves just the opposite — "that there's an appetite for this type of film." And he's keen to emphasize their differences: The Queen movie was a more straightforward portrait, where "Rocketman" is a musical fantasy that tracks John from boyhood to to his early 40s, when he gets sober. And while Malek gave a "wonderful performance" that felt like he "resurrected Freddie," Egerton says, he was primarily lip-syncing the songs.
"Our film is a different animal. Hopefully we garner some of the same love," he says. "We ain't gonna make $900 million. I think everyone needs to adjust their expectations. That film is a unicorn."
John and his husband, David Furnish, had been developing a "Rocketman" film for nearly two decades. The first actor officially cast to play John, Oscar nominee Tom Hardy, was not planning to sing in his own voice. But producers ultimately decided that Hardy, 41, was too old to believably play the singer in his youth.
"It's also a musical, and Tom's obviously probably the most gifted actor of his generation — and I think Tom knows this — but he ain't a singer," says Egerton, who counts Hardy as a friend. "He emailed me last week congratulating me and saying he felt that I was the man to portray the big man. Tom's a class act."
After the success of 2014's "Kingsman: The Secret Service," the action comedy starring Egerton as a cheeky agent recruited into an undercover spy organization, he wanted his next role to include singing.
Then, on the set of the 2017 "Kingsman" sequel, director Matthew Vaughn suddenly asked: "How would you feel about playing Elton?" Vaughn had just come aboard "Rocketman" to help John and Furnish get the long-gestating project off the ground. Coincidentally, the couple had just met Egerton for the first time on the set of the second "Kingsman" film, in which John made a cameo.
"The first thing Elton ever said to me was during a wedding scene we were filming: 'You know, if I were five years younger, it'd be me that you were marrying there,'" Egerton says with a laugh.
After Vaughn advised them that the actor also had "the voice of an angel," John and Furnish began seriously considering Egerton for the role. It helped, Furnish adds, that "he and Elton got on like a house on fire."
John made himself totally available to the actor. During visits to the singer's mansion in Windsor, England he asked the singer questions about his life.
"Sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll — everything," Egerton says. "Because when you play someone, you have to know the beating heart of their experience. If you're playing a drug addict, the world of addiction is not pretty. That's a dark place, and I asked him a lot about it, because I felt it was important I know. And I have never asked Elton anything that he has been uncomfortable with. You cannot make that man blush."
John allowed Egerton to read the diaries he'd kept in the 1970s and even gave him the first diamond earring he'd ever bought. The actor wore it during a pivotal rehab scene in "Rocketman," coming to feel the jewelry was his "little talisman — my thing that made me feel close to him."
The only time John ever weighed in on his performance, Egerton says, is when he first heard the actor's takes on his songs.
"I f—ing love it. Stop trying to sound like me."
Ultimately, Fletcher advised him to just sing the songs as best he could, without fixating on mimicking John's voice precisely. From that point forward, neither John — who was reviewing dailies — nor Furnish — who spent a lot of time on set — gave Egerton any notes.
"There are moments in the movie where I'm screaming and shouting or doing lines of gear — moments that aren't pretty," says Egerton. "It's tantrums and tiaras, man — it's Elton John. There's moments where you've got to see him lose his [mind]. If I thought too much about Elton watching it, I'd start to go, 'God, is he going to hate the fact that I'm making him look crazy?'"
That John didn't sanitize the screenplay is a "tribute to Elton's bravery," believes Egerton, noting that "we've all seen movies where the real-life protagonist who is still knocking around have made themselves look saintly."
He also credits Paramount for not watering down a love scene between the musician and his manager, John Reid, played by Richard Madden. Though the sequence is brief and nonexplicit, its mere existence immediately generated headlines after the Cannes premiere: "'Rocketman' Blazes Trail as First Major Studio Film to Depict Gay Male Sex," wrote the Hollywood Reporter.
"The fact that people write about it in that way means that it's still a conversation. It wouldn't be a conversation if it was a heterosexual scene, so it's still important we push that boundary," says Egerton. " It's two people falling in love and one person losing their virginity. I'm very proud to be part of a film that has handled that with humanity and integrity, rather than trying to sidestep it."
As for the reports that Paramount forced the production to scale back the scene to make it tamer, Egerton insists that wasn't the case.
"People have said they cut the scene substantially? What do they think has been cut?" he says, becoming animated. "We shot that scene for … four hours. What do you think [is] missing? What graphic bit of detail do you think [is] missing? No, it's just been edited together now. You could probably watch a five-hour version of it if you wanted."
While Egerton did attend an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting midshoot to better understand addiction, he says he tried not to get too caught up in the emotional turmoil of the character. He doesn't subscribe to method acting — "Frankly, I think it's indulgent nonsense" — and didn't hide out in his trailer, getting into character.
Bryce Dallas Howard, who plays John's mother, says she was impressed by the "high-wire act" Egerton pulled off immersing himself in John's world while acting like a normal dude on set.
Even if "Rocketman" doesn't make $900 million, it will likely have a big impact on Egerton's career, an odd side effect of a film largely about the perils of fame.
"People are always saying, 'You're about to blow up.' It's not true," he says. "Que sera sera, but I'm not going to become an overnight … A-lister. I would like to have autonomy over my choices creatively, and I like earning money. These things are fine. I want the movie to be a success, and of course I want me personally to be a success. Would I like to not be able to get on the bus without being hounded? No, I'm not interested in that at all. I don't mind taking a selfie out now and then, but if I had to do as many every day as I did yesterday? That sounds like fun, but it … isn't."
Egerton would like to continue a steady but relatively slow pace of work. And he's interested in further pursuing music. He says he feels most at peace when expressing himself through song — which is also how he connects with John, whose husband told Egerton: "The only time I don't worry about Elton is when he's on stage."
"I need to learn how to play the piano properly," he says. "That's my next big aim. … Elton's very keen that I do it too. I need to learn an instrument, because if I learn an instrument, who knows? Maybe I could write something … If I ever wanted to pursue that as a thing, I'd have to be able to write some songs, I think."
No matter what, one thing is certain: Egerton and John are bonded for life. After the screening last week, Furnish says, he pulled the actor close and told him: "You're an indelible part of our family, forever and ever."

Blog Post 10 Reflection
1. Brief Summary of Assignment and Story
This final project was truly a culmination of the semester. The assignment incorporated bits and pieces of everything we've learned during the semester – and put it into a video.
We needed:
- A story
- A narrative arc for that story
- Journalistic approach (feature, promotional, hard-news)
- Editing of audio and video
Jordan (my partner) and I decided to do a feature story on stress relieving hobbies in preparation for finals. We wanted to make it interesting for the viewer so we avoided the typical ones like: Netflix binge, video games, and drinking.
So our video looked at:
- Water Polo – We interviewed some players and got footage of them in action at Corbett.
- Foosball – On Friday's there is an unofficial Foosball club. It's a group of foosball players who get together and celebrate the end of the week.
- Board Games – These guys don't play Monopoly, Risk, Sorry, or the typical family games. Instead they get together with some heavy dark beers and compete for galactic domination in Eclipse, build an ancient civilization in 7 Wonders, or try and eliminate their friends in a game of Coup.
Our shots featured a variety of interesting perspectives, which helped make our video unique and stand out.
2. What I Enjoyed and Didn't
I love making videos, its perhaps my favorite multimedia activity. In high school, I always opted for the video projects if we had the option. Drinking with Dave, a short film I made in high school, is still used for the Sophomore level health class when they give the unit on drinking.
So I loved every second of it, the filming, setting up the shots, the editing, all of it! I really did truly enjoy this entire project and it was my favorite one this entire semester!
*I did not conduct the majority of interviews since I knew some of the people in the groups, instead Jordan did that portion, so we could get "real" and "raw" answers and responses.
3. What Surprised Me, and What Would've I Done Different
How great all the shots turned out honestly surprised me. Since we used my GoPro for the majority of the shots, we didn't know how they would turn out. With the time restraints, we only could do one or two takes. But luckily we got perfect shots, angles.
Audio is a huge thing I would done differently. Having an actual microphone for the interviewing segments would've helped tremendously. After we introduce the interviewee's face, having a clearer and more professional audio recording for the B-roll… I can only imagine, "shoulda, coulda, woulda."
I am pleased with the video how it is, but professionally recorded audio never hurts.
4. How I See Myself Using Video in a Future Career
I want my future career to be about video, hopefully. I really do love it. Maybe I will pursue an environmental film career. I do love documentaries.
Finding my perfect dream job will be difficult, but I will try and search for it. As long as video and writing are incorporated I'll be content. If I'm only producing one or two films a month, at least it's something.
Recently my friends and I got together and talked about starting a videography firm focusing on action sports, like Teton Gravity Research. We would be different because we want to focus on amateurs and help them get recognized. Who knows, this might be my future career.
All I know is that this course provided me with the tools to pursue any career in Online Multimedia!

It's a sure sign of Spring, isn't it?
The snow piles may still be deep in the National Capital Region but golfers can put them out of their mind for a few hours this weekend. Their escape? The annual Ottawa-Gatineau Golf Expo at the EY Centre presented by the National Golf Course Owners' Association.
More than 100 exhibitors are expected to fill 90,000 square feet of floor space on Saturday, March 7th, and Sunday, March 8th.
As always the show will be boosted by displays from golf courses, vacation destinations, golf equipment manufacturers, retailers and all manners of golf related services.
Show Manager Carol Ann Campbell assured us that there will be a number of interactive exhibits for golfers of all ages includes the kid-friendly program She Swings, She Scores program from the Golf Association of Ontario. A key feature of the show this year is free admission for all children under 17 years of age. There will also be free admission on Sunday for all members and veterans of the Armed Forces.
A silent auction will run throughout the weekend and their will be a seminar series on the the stage with presentations about equipment and instruction.
"We have a great floor this year…" remarked Campbell a couple weeks back, admitting she had been working around the clock to prep for the show. "…lots of returning exhibitors that people who have been before may have seen but we've got some new and exciting people to come and join us as well."
She continued," We've really really tried to liven up the floor this year. We've tried to make sure the every section of the floor has something exciting in it."
The Ottawa Gatineau Golf Expo gets underway on Saturday March 7th at 9:00 a.m. and will be open that day until 6:00 p.m.
Sunday, March 8th, the show will be open from 10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m.
For more details visit their website at this link.
Flagstick will be attending the show, as we have since 1996, so please stop by the booth and say hello to our team, pick up a Spring Issue of Flagstick, and chat a little golf. We're also sponsoring a Long Drive Competition.

To be clear, Psyonix searching for new means to accomplish money from Rocket League is not a problem. I've paid my £20, sure. But the amusement I've had from this bold over the consecutive years makes me added than blessed to absorb added and, for those that don't, this ancillary of the bold doesn't appropriate assimilate the pitch The Best Place to Buy Games Gold & Coins & Items. This is a bold I'm blessed to abutment and, whatever my animosity about the rocket pass, I'll apparently buy the next one just on principle. And if you don't wish to pay there's a chargeless adaptation which, y'know, is a amount that's harder to criticise.
Ironically abundant it's apparently the abstention of Rocket League that makes the 'premium pass' business archetypal an afraid fit. The amount of the bold can't be affected at all and, above some aboriginal abstracts with map shapes (later formed back), Psyonix has never messed with it. This is a altered bearings than that faced by Fortnite (which can affair its own passes to chase anniversary season's events), and has an aftereffect with austere consequences: the rocket canyon has no challenges.
At already it's accessible to accept why Psyonix couldn't do this, because players aggravating to get accurate challenges would affect aggressive play, and see that one of the better allowances of a canyon is lost. In Fortnite's case the action canyon arguably makes the amount play a little added engaging. Rocket League Items can't tap into that after ruining Rocket League.

In order to increase traffic dramatically, you need large number of premium backlinks from high authority websites. In order to improve SMO for your small business, you should focus on engaging with relevant social audiences, contributing to conversations, and posting your own shares of authoritative content for your industry. Thus the more you post the more your content may be seen as not valued or authoritative. Preview your social media post! If you're looking to improve your SMO, it's important to keep in mind that having huge numbers of links to your website scattered across social networks is not optimization. Also, keep in mind that these clicks are far more valuable in the eyes of the big G because they have lower bounce rate. As these social networks keep on adding new features, we'll keep our plugin and this article up-to-date, so be sure to update the plugin regularly. In Rohit's initial article the focus of SMO was on linkability, portable content and easy bookmarking. Try to resist auto-posting your content on social media.
However, SMO is now significantly more important and not simply because social networking has grown but because SMO also improves SEO performance. However, instead of presenting the company perspective through unsolicited advertising, they actually engage users with detailed repair recommendations. An SEO or a web designer would not know how to build a marketing campaign on the social media by understanding the behaviour of the users. These SEO factors that will always find a place within the facility are an integral part of the website optimization campaign that one undergoes. Hint: Lesson 6 of The Complete SEO Course explains how to execute a link building campaign with examples and step-by-step instructions. Building up these relationships and creating a well-regarded destination on these sites takes time and effort. If you are one of those business owners who failed to connect with the target audience and engage them on social media platforms, it is time for introspection.
So we left no stone unturned to target users using these sites via our ads (Adsense FTW). You will soon find that the users of these sites will start adding their own content on your page and linking back to you. You can't build a website, and then expect that people will find your website without pointing the way. You can also encourage people to engage with a call to action, for example if you find this article helpful please share it. On sites like Digg it means having enough votes from the community to move your news article to their front page, while on a site like MySpace, your measure of popularity is all about how many friends you can get. Social media optimization (SMO) was first used in 2006 by Rohit Bhargava in his article the 5 rules of social media optimization. Good SMO will drive traffic from both direct social site referrals and from search engines.
If your website is much more popular then search engine robots will list your website among popular sites. Without this assistance your chances of being found are much lower. This is a great way to build links without much upfront effort. You might be tempted to think that one way to SMO your content is to join every LinkedIn Group, Google Plus community, etc., and to share links to your content seeking shares or comments. Check out our Complete User's Guide to Google Analytics for more details. Check out 25 Creative Facebook Contest Ideas You Can Use Today. For several of these values Twitter "falls back" to Facebook OpenGraph, so we don't have to include everything, but it still is quite a bit. Apart from higher page ranks, these websites also have the ability to give an instant boost to your website traffic if you have really interesting and engaging content to make people vote for your content. Forget about stuffing your social content with keywords. How do you Search keywords in a website?

Taiwanese manufacturer Inhon has launched what it claims is the world's lightest and thinnest laptop.
The Blade 13 Carbon notebook is just 12.88mm thin and weighs in at 1.9lbs (870g), but boasts high-end hardware specs.
Running the Windows 8 operating system, the PC features a 1080p HD screen, Intel i5 or i7 processors, up to 256GB of SSD storage and 4GB of RAM.
It comes housed in a svelte Carbon frame and is 2mm slimmer than nearest rival the NEC Lavie X and a full pound lighter than Apple's 13-inch MacBook Air.
The Blade 13 Carbon will go on sale in Taiwan for $1,350 (£886) but an overseas release remains unconfirmed, Engadget reports.
A cheaper model made from fibreglass with lesser specs will also be available, weighing in at a heavier 2.6lbs.

Observing the inside of a kingfisher nest in real time via the web cam set up by the Nature Channel in Holland offers a unique glimpse into the world of kingfishers. Here is a selection of stills from inside the burrow.
Observing the inside of a kingfisher nest in real time via the web cam set up by the Nature Channel in Holland offers a unique glimpse into the world of kingfishers. Here is a selection of stills from inside the burrow.
In addition to the live camera feed, the Nature Channel website in Holland site has a clubhouse where volunteers monitor the kingfisher nest ( and other nest cams) 24 hours a day. The volunteers keep a record of how many times the chicks are fed each day and by which of the adults (fortunately the infra-red camera makes it easy to spot the lighter coloured lower part of the beak on the female).
Now that the chicks have fledged I have some statistics to share:
7 eggs were laid, 6 hatched after 1 egg was accidentally knocked out of the nest by parent.
24 days + 20 hours after the first chick hatched at 11:57 April 12, the 6th chick left the nest at 08:11 May 7.
During the first week the parents spent a large amount of time brooding the chicks, the female more than the male, who took on a larger percentage of the feeding at this time.
By day ten the adults were spending much less time brooding the chicks and the feed rate climbed significantly, the female bringing in significantly more fish than the male at this time.
The female continued to brood overnight in the nest with the chicks for eleven nights after the eggs hatched.
From day 10 to day 15 the highest feed rates were recorded, with 3 days of over 100 fish being fed.
By the time the chicks left the nest both parents had fed the chicks a similar number of fish, the male 577 (36%) and the female 594 (37%) (assuming that the 422 (26%) of feeds the counters were unable to attribute were evenly spread). In total 1593 fish were fed to the chicks.
The daily feed graphs showed that feeding commenced each day within a few minutes of sunrise, and finished in the hour before sunset.
Throughout the feeding period, the individual parents fed at irregular intervals, sometimes making several visits to feed within a space of a few minutes, while at other times they were absent for an hour or more. Despite this erratic behaviour, the cumulative efforts of both parents tended to even out during the course of a day, with the graphs showing a steady supply of fish being presented every day.
This graph shows a distinctive bell curve as the feed rate built to a peak and then tailed off towards the date when the young fledged.
This clutch of youngsters all left within a period of around an hour, the first chick exiting shortly after sunrise 6:19 local time (5:19 BST). Records from previous clutches at this nest site have shown that each clutch has left at a similar time, shortly after sunrise.
The graphs below show the feed count and feed times for each day (click thumbnail images to view graphs).
Great news from the Nature Channel webcam site in Holland. On May 7th Between 5:20am uk time and 7:11am all six chicks left the nest. From the time the first chick hatched around 11:00am on April 12th, the chicks spent just short of 25 days in the nest being cared for by their parents.
On the facts and figures post page you can read more about some of the interesting statistics that were gathered by the volunteers on the site.
After a week monitoring the top of the kingfisher nest bank with a trail camera, shortly after midnight on Saturday the camera recorded this image of a large mammal right on top of the kingfisher burrow that had been dug out a few days earlier. It is a badger, and the other shots I have show it moving off along the bank shortly after this shot was taken. I had seen a trail in the grass that appeared to be evidence that something was regularly foraging along the bank, so I thought that whatever had predated the nest would return sooner or later.
The kingfishers have already dug a new burrow and have begun mating. The new burrow is a few inches lower than the first, but with a badgers sense of smell I don't think it would be safe, so I will be securing the surface with a large metal grid in the next few days.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bars
My husband, Malcolm, LOVES pumpkin. His favorite month is September … and I think that is because pumpkins start ripening in September!!
So, because he loves pumpkin so well, he is always looking for pumpkin recipes that he can adjust for my Gluten Free Vegan diet. While visiting some vegan friends early this month, he made this WONDERFUL pan of Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bars that I just have to share with you.
Sorry, we did not get any pictures, but it looked like dark (from the chocolate chips) pumpkin pie without the crust!

Updated By: Jashmin Nakarmi on Mon, Jun 18, 2018
Stop. Take a breath. Ask yourself this.
The continuous tick-tock that you are syncing with, rushing into your day, reaching towards a goal, without even time to take a break. Are you doing it for yourself? The time and effort you're investing, is it your passion that you're following? Or just the usual norm that people follow in and now you've joined the herd?
Hi, I'm Jashmin Nakarmi, a small girl from Kathmandu, Nepal and this is my story.
It has been my intent to come to the United States ever since I was in Grade 4.
Back then, going to the U.S. was a big deal. Every young mind wanted to go to the States for purposes of education or work. Watching those glamorous movies, and hearing the thoughts that shouted from those TV screens, it became my dream to follow the herd and come to the U.S.
What excited me then? Who knows? I was a 10-year-old kid, comparing movies to reality. But as I grew older, that dream didn't go away, instead, it became my goal. It was always in my head, "I'm going to go to the U.S. and be …" one too many things. Education was - and is - a huge priority for my family. Every parent wants their kid to be an 'A' student and have a proclaimed name and wealth. Career paths dignified for those requirements would be Doctor, Engineer, IT, and you get the point. But I wanted to be a Mathematician, Literary Genius, Radio-Jockey, News Anchor, Poet, and much more. I wasn't clueless, I was just into many things.
Finally, after Grade-12 (which is a two-year college degree in Nepal) I applied for my Bachelor's Degree in Mass Communications from four universities. I got accepted in all four but decided to go to Southeast Missouri State University.
My very first landing as I touched U.S. soil for the first time, I'm in the United States and I fall right onto my back. Literally. Not by looking at the huge city but at the entry point in the airport, while dragging my luggage through. When I stopped at a point, the weight of the luggage pulled me with it and I landed on the airport floor, sprawled flat out.
Was this the earth or greater force telling me "don't go forward"? Who knows?
Great university, warm people, but I figured out soon that the field wasn't the right choice for me. I wasn't feeling that drive or passion to rush through my life or miss lunch for it.
After a semester, financial measures pushed me to transfer to St. Cloud State University. Here's where I first recognized my passion. A very good friend of mine had his portfolio review at the Kiehle Visual Arts Center. It was 12:30 am and we were a group of six helping him put up his best work in the gallery. The ambiance ... I can't explain it to you, or how exhilarating it was for me at the time.
I used to sketch and paint back home but it was just a hobby, one I would've never considered a profession back home. But here I was, in the middle of the night, and the artwork, the paintings, photographs, even the smell of that old building was screaming in my head, "this is where you belong".
And that's how I entered this field. Working on screen again was something I had never imagined. But I fell in love with it. The professors at St. Cloud State helped me to find myself in my work. This is something I was willing to skip a meal or lose sleep over. I was competitively working for the degree, all the while knowing this is going to be a little bit of a difficult path.
As an international student, there are limitations you carry with your status and have to go through different processes and paperwork within a tight time frame. On May 2017, I graduated, and the actual quest for a career began. I have a year to use my work permit towards an internship and one more additional year towards achieving a full-time position at a company that would want to sponsor me within that same year.
Hello, life of an international student. The first couple of months after graduation I wasn't even landing any interviews. Countless informational interviews, LinkedIn messages, constant portfolio updates, and endless applications. APPLY! APPLY! APPLY!
Finally, I was offered an internship at Pentair in St. Paul. Great in-house position, great leaders, and I learned a lot. They extended three more months but I couldn't land a full-time gig. Then, I was in the market again.
Finally, after all those times of socializing, I was called in for an interview by the Art Director at Leighton Interactive at the time, Clare Richards. I had met this amazing, bomb-of-energy a couple of times for informational interviews and while volunteering and through student shows. Immediately, I was offered a part-time graphic design position for three months. I couldn't be more excited. I was going to work at an agency. I knew after searching and experiencing for a short time that agency life is where I want to be. Finally, my passion drove me to achieve my dream and I became part of the team full-time in April as a graphic designer.
It's not as easy every time, but that's the joy in it. When you spend all your might to achieve something, the failures and hurdles make you appreciate the glory even more. Follow your passion. Forget the norm. Accept the challenges. Praise the failures.
I can't wait for my next chapter.

Election Section
Humor: Mr. A and Mr. B: The Long-Lost Twins By HOMAYON
As you may know, Iran has a new president. Mr. Ahmadi-nejhad (also known as "Darwin's missing link") an ultra right and fairly unknown candidate was supposedly elected to the office in a run-off election just a few days ago.
Since then I locked myself in my apartment going over every possible reason as to how something so stupid that defies all logic could have happened? Hours ago it finally dawned on me that I have gone through this miserable yet comical experience once before. That's right, back in the year 2000 when Mr. A's Western twin brother George W. Bush (also known as the eighth wonder of the world) was somehow miraculously voted to the office.
Wow, I thought to myself, as an Iranian-American I am surely blessed. I have seen first hand both the Western and the Eastern versions of what will surely be remembered as one of the greatest blunders of the mankind in modern times.
What more could I ask of the Almighty?
Lord only knows how these two fine specimens of the human race had not found each other earlier. After all, Mr. A ,as the mayor of Tehran over the period of last year, had whispered of building a freeway to accommodate the arrival of the Messiah (Mehdi to the Shi'a Muslims) once he re-appears and heads over to Iran, while the other poor puritanical moron, Mr. B, thinks he IS the messiah.
Or perhaps because one attends church every Sunday while the other one goes to the mosque on Fridays?
Or could it be that their tiny brain, matching the size of their beady evil eyes, is just not capable to comprehend that antagonizing the whole world against the greatest democracy on the face of the earth today on the one hand, and degrading a great ancient culture known to have established the first human rights proclamation 2500 years ago on the other hand, must have its limits too?
Or could it just be that they spoke the same language and yet did not realize it? I say tomato, you say tomaato. I say radical, you say raadikaal. I say war, you say var!
Whatever the reason it got me to notice how much these two long-lost-twins have in common:
• They both belong to the NEO club: neo-conservatism, neo-radicalism, neo-Satanism, etc.
• Both believe vote rigging is the true meaning of a democratic election.
• Both take their orders from a higher authority.
• Both sound as stupid as they look.
• Both view the military, violence and martyrdom as the proper way of life.
• Both love the "F" word: fascism.
• Both came to power by the strong backing of the political and economical elite, while promising an end to poverty!
• Both have written highly acclaimed articles entitled "how to steal the presidency" (Microsoft is in the process of negotiating with both to develop a software for that presented in all languages except English and Persian as the Americans and Iranians seem to do just fine without the software).
• Both think the path to human advancement is achieved by the "W-Ahmadi-Rule" abbreviated as "WAR."
And as far as differences, well, I can only think of one: One shaves everyday before putting his tie on, the other one however, does not own a tie so he skips shaving!

WASHINGTON — Democratic U.S. Rep. Brendan Boyle of Pennsylvania has introduced a bill in response to President Donald Trump's description of his mental fitness.
Boyle, a vocal critic of Trump who represents part of Philadelphia and Montgomery County, filed the Standardizing Testing and Accountability Before Large Elections Giving Electors Necessary Information for Unobstructed Selection Act — a long title that shortens to the acronym STABLE GENIUS, in reference to Trump's tweet last weekend that he is "really smart" and "a very stable genius."
The tongue-in-cheek legislation requires all presidential candidates to undergo a standardized medical examination and to publicly disclose the results with the Federal Election Commission before the election.
"The President believes he is a 'stable genius.' I do not," Boyle said in a news release. "President Trump's reckless, erratic behavior has exposed a critical flaw in our existing election process. Before voting for the highest office in the land, Americans have a right to know whether an individual has the physical and mental fitness to serve as president of the United States."
Trump's tweet regarding his mental stability came as he has been defending his capabilities in the wake of a new book, "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House" by journalist Michael Wolff, which says aides have questioned his fitness for the office.
Trump will have his first known medical exam since taking office on Friday, though that physical exam is unlikely to focus in depth on the president's mental health, based on exam results released on past presidents.

text: ADMIN Posted November 24, 2006 NAME: XXI Corps / Twenty-First Corps / 21st Corps / XXI Army Corps NICKNAME: None. BATTLE HONORS: World War II Rhineland Ardennes-Alsace Central Europe ACTIVATED: Dec 6, 1943 1947(?) DEACTIVATED: Sept 30, 1945 June 5, 1970 PATCH HISTORY: The shoulder patch worn by the XXl Corps was approved by the OMG on April 3, 1944. The crossed arrows represent the fighting power of the Corps, and the acorn is a symbol of strength, while the four-leaf clover is a sign for good fortune. The blue and white portions of the insignia suggest the colors of the Corps' distinguishing flag. HISTORY: World War II The XXI Corps was activated on December 6, 1943, at Camp Polk, Louisiana, and was responsible for training an estimated 200,000 men and 70 different units of varying sizes before it embarked for the European Theater in November of 1944. After a short stay in England, the Corps landed in France and became operational on January 13, 1945, after being assigned to the Seventh Army. The XXI was assigned position along the left flank of Seventh Army near the Maginot Line and gathered strength for an attack south of the Colmar Canal during the last week in January. In late January, divisional units of the XXI Corps were transferred to other Seventh Army corps and the XXI Corps was transferred to the operational control of the French First Army with the mission of eliminating the Colmar Pocket. The 3d and 28th Infantry Divisions, until that time under the control of the French II Corps, were transferred to XXI Corps control. Late in January the 75th Infantry Division was transferred from the Ardennes area to XXI Corps control. The 12th Armored Division was transferred to XXI Corps control in early February. The French 2d and 5th Armored Divisions also operated under XXI Corps control during the Colmar Pocket fighting. Elements from the Corps reached the Rhine River on February 6th, and German resistance ended within the pocket on February 9th. The XXI Corps returned to Seventh Army control on February 16th and moved to Morhange two days later to begin a limited offensive. Extremely heavy resistance was encountered in capturing Forbach and Stiring-Wendal, and Corps elements of the 70th Division and 101st Cavalry Group reached the Saar River on March 14th. Launching an attack into the Siegfried Line, the men of the XXI broke through and crossed the Saar to take Saarbrucken on March 20th, and the Corps arrived in the Bitche sector two days later. Corps troops crossed the Rhine River at Neuschloss and Mannhein on the 28th and 29th of March and attacked east into Germany towards Wurzburg and Schweinfurt. On April 2nd, Corps elements captured Konigshafen and repulsed heavy enemy counterattacks, and four days later Wurzburg was captured after house-to-house fighting. Infantrymen mopped up the last enemy resistance in Schweinfurt on April 12th, and armor units pursued fleeing German elements who were primarily fighting delaying actions. The Seventh Army attack turned south, and Corps elements of the 12th Armored Division captured Laucheim and Bopfingen against light resistance and then captured a bridgehead across the Danube River at Dillingen the following day. The XXI captured Landsberg and crossed into Austria with the direction of the main advance aiming towards Innsbruck and the Brenner Pass. Elements of the XXI Corps attacked the area of the National Redoubt on April 30th and ended any possible German last-ditch defense in the Bavarian Alps. The following day, Corps troops captured Bad Tolz, moved toward the Watchen See, cleared Oberarnmergau, and advanced southwest up the Inn River Valley where German Army Group G surrendered on May 6, 1945, as the fighting in Europe came to a close. After a short period of occupation duties, the XXI was inactivated on September 30, 1945, at Swabish Gmund, Germany, after having participated in three campaigns. Post-World War II Following World War II, the XXI Corps again became part of the reserves. It continued to serve this function until it was officially inactivated on June 5, 1970.

Keep mud, snow, and slush contained in an easy to clean space. They also provide a space for backpacks, bags, purses to live out of sight. At Hanson Builders we integrate a closet, a locker and bench. Depending on personal preference a key drop with USB port can be in the mix as well. We offer both tile and vinyl options in a range of styles and colors so it is easy to match your mudroom to the rest of the home.

He is not the Striker who would make many runs or dribbling-moves to open-up defences, but if you are looking for someone to be at the end of crosses and long-balls in the box, and score one-touch goals with either his head or his feet, then he is your guy(he has also been their primary penalty-taker, after proving that he is a calm and accurate finisher).
Adding to that, he also showed ability to drop a bit deeper and make some good passing moves to create chances for others, as well as himself, and that's one of the reasons why AEL's goals come from players playing in all three lines of the team, midfielders, defenders and attackers.

A group of residents from our Castle Farm and Grove houses enjoyed a trip to see the Weeping Window at Woodhorn Museum.
The iconic sculpture of red, ceramic poppies which were first seen at the Tower of London last year to mark the centenary since the outbreak of WWI is now on a UK tour. When we heard they were coming to Northumberland we jumped at the chance of taking our residents to see them.
By far one of our most popular outings to date, 15 residents signed up to come with us and not even the wet weather could dampen the breath-taking beauty of the sculptures.
For some, it provided a chance to remember people they had known who had been involved in the great wars and for others an opportunity to see something first hand that had captivated audiences form around the world.
We also went to see the permanent exhibition which depicts life amongst the mining community in Ashington in the mid 20th Century, which evoked lots of memories amongst some of our residents and certainly gave way to some good discussion.
Needless to say, we found time to visit the café…… no trip out would be complete without a nice cup of tea!
The poppies will be at Woodhorn until the 1st November 2015 before heading off to another location before finally being gifted to the Imperial War Museum.

Recording of the CIPS Dec 6th Live Webinar: "Cyber Attacks are on the rise and are evolving - How should we deal with this problem"
Cyber attacks with growing scope and impact continue to grab front page headlines. No sector is immune: bad actors see relatively soft targets, with vast stores of personal data and care of critical infrastructure and services.
In the face of evolving threats, decision-makers and Boards are increasingly looking and if not should be looking to anchor their information risk management strategy in the protection of critical assets. But, challenged with ongoing service delivery and budgetary pressures, many organizations have struggled to embrace a new "inside-out" model. And, defining and sustaining accountability remains a challenge. To help respond effectively to these evolving threats, this round table event will bring together business and technology executives, industry experts and cyber-risk thought leaders for a collaborative information sharing session. We will focus on common challenges and successes, including practical and proactive ways to improve cyber readiness at a high level. Questions and topics to be discussed:
A new model for cyber risk management; the role of leadership, Directors & the C-Suite
Effectively engaging the board and management team on technology risk. Demystifying technology and translating technical risks into business terms
Trends; cyber legal risks facing board members and senior management. Practical approaches, quick wins & moving from reactive to proactive risk management"
Speaker: "Jason Doel is co founder, Tracker Networks Inc. where he manages the company's go-to-market strategy, sales and marketing, operations and solution delivery.
Jason works with dozens of leading organizations in Canada, the US and Europe, advising business and technology executives on practical and sustainable ways to identify, track and reduce cyber risk. Jason has an MBA from the Schulich School of Business and an Honours Bachelor of Science from the University of Western Ontario."

Recipe: Tres Leche Pumpkin Bread Pudding With Salted Pecan Praline Sauce
I run as close to a zero waste kitchen as is possible. It's been ingrained in me from years of working in places where rubber spatulas are referred to as million dollar tools due to their ability to deglaze every last ounce of useable goods from the crannies of cans, vessels and bottles.
At the end of a busy year it's untelling how much much money a busy kitchen can save with one of these tools.
Enter bread pudding. I became a slave to this dessert as a child when my family vacationed in New Orleans. Thousands of baguettes make their way from busy bakeries like Leidenheimer's through the Creole kitchens of the Crescent City, and if they get stale before they make the bread service part of the meal? They get chopped up, submerged in a variety of sugars and milks then baked ,sauced and served. In the hands of a skilled baker, bread pudding can be transcendent.

Seated from the left, Seth Bousquet, his mom, Samantha, and Taylor Brown and her mother, Angela Mandia, listen to Newport Rifle Club Chief Instructor Robin Kasckow talk about firearms safety.
MIDDLETOWN – Newport Rifle Club's last Basic Pistol class until October was a first. It was the first time a parent and son or daughter have taken the class at the same time. Along with five others, Samantha Bousquet and her son Seth, 13, of North Smithfield and Angela Mandia and her daughter, Taylor Brown, of Portsmouth took the all-day class recently in the club's new combined classroom and air-rifle range.
Basic Pistol is geared toward people with little or no experience with handguns. Among other things, the hands-on instruction covers firearm and range safety, pistol and ammunition knowledge, basic marksmanship, target scoring, pistol selection, pistol cleaning, safe storage and firearms transportation laws. For safety and individualized training, each student has his or her own one-on-one instructor for the live-fire portion of the course.
Newport Rifle Club offers Basic Pistol at least half a dozen times a year with several classes for women only. For information about Basic Pistol and other classes go to Newport Rifle Club Instruction.
Newport Rifle Club is the oldest continuously operating gun club in the US. It was founded in 1876 by W. Milton Farrow, one of the finest long-distance rifle shots in the world at the time.
The club usually has a waiting list for membership, which is capped at 700, but currently has a few openings. See Newport Rifle Club Membership for all the details.
Newport Rifle Club has a nine-port 100-yard outdoor range and an eight-port 50-foot indoor range with a HEPA filtration system for air purity. The club provides a wide range of safety, marksmanship and firearms-care training for youth and adults and offers a number of competitions within the club and throughout the state.

Today marks International Women's Day and we're highlighting the work that is going on across Avon and Somerset to specifically support women offenders.
Police and Crime Commissioner Sue Mountstevens made reducing reoffending a priority in 2016 for her second term in office and part of that work includes dedicated support for women.
In 2017 project SHE was piloted in Bristol. SHE which stands for Support Help Engagement is now available in Somerset, Bristol, South Gloucestershire and North Somerset. Project SHE works with the Nelson Trust to divert women at the point of arrest to help them avoid a charge, court appearance or prison sentence.
Since the start of SHE, 284 women have been referred to The Nelson Trust for support and on Monday, PCC Sue Mountstevens visited their new women's centre in Bridgwater, Somerset.
Sue Mountstevens said: "The opening of the women centre in Somerset is an exciting new service and will help address a gap in the support available for women in Somerset."
The Nelson Trust's Christina Line said: "The new centre is a community resource for vulnerable women who maybe experiencing multiple and complex needs. This one stop shop will provide women with a safe space where they are able to gain practical and emotional support from a dedicated keyworker, access to a range of therapeutic and educational psychosocial and onsite support from specialists."
Rebecca Marshall, from Avon and Somerset Police added: "The new women centre is a culmination of the hard work of many partners over the last couple of years who identified that we needed a women centre in Somerset and have worked with and supported Nelson trust to turn that ambition into a reality."
SHE is currently the only point of arrest diversion scheme for women in Avon and Somerset and moves women away from the path of prison to help them tackle the root causes of their offending
Sue Mountstevens added: "The causes of women's offending can be complex, ranging from domestic abuse to debt and sometimes drug and alcohol addictions. We must not forget that by helping women offenders we can also help their children too. National figures from 2010 show that over 17,000 children were separated from their mothers by imprisonment and only 5% of children with a mother in prison were able to stay in the family home. It is vital that we support schemes like this to improve the outcomes for women and families."
At the moment, the Bridgwater centre is only open for police referrals but will also be a drop-in centre when full staffing is in place. The Nelson Trust also has plans to expand its work to Yeovil, Taunton and Frome.
The £500,000 centre was funded by local fundraising and charities and support from Sedgemoor District Council, Somerset Community Foundation and The Ministry of Justice.

Leonardo 500Milan is the city in which Leonardo da Vinci lived the longest.
The 500th anniversary
Milan is the city in which Leonardo da Vinci lived the longest. Leonardo arrived to Milan in 1482, at the service of the Duke Ludovico Sforza, and his presence left an indelible mark in the history and art of the city and of the whole territory of Lombardy.
For this reason, Milan celebrates the 500th anniversary since his death with a schedule of events that will take place over the course of nine months (May 2019 – January 2020), with the Castello Sforzesco at the heart of the programme. The project will involve institutions and public and private bodies, associations and societies throughout Lombardy that will work together to create a calendar of events that will be constantly updated.

One day while waiting outside of my bishop's office for an interview, I accidentally caught a glance at a flyer on the bulletin board with a quote from President Uchtdorf that reads, "For members of the Church, education is not merely a good idea––It's a commandment." It suddenly became clear to me at the moment that with all my children now in school and I had more free time to myself, there wasn't a better time to finish my degree than this. Besides, with numerous schools offering online courses today, it's convenient to work toward a degree anytime, anywhere.
During my pursuit of a college degree, I'd withdrawn from school twice: first to serve a full-time mission; then to start a family. When I got married in my senior year and left school, I didn't know how long it would be before I'd be able to return and finish my degree. In fact, as time progressed and my family grew and the responsibilities of a stay-at-home mother became extremely overwhelming, I started to doubt if I'd ever be able to return to school at all. As years went by, I grew to be comfortable with the fact that I "almost" graduated from college.

Unfortunately, this course is cancelled this summer due to COVID-19 regulations. We expect to be able to offer this course again next year.
This course discusses the evaluation of theory-based hypotheses using p-values, the Bayes factor, and information criteria. There will be attention for contemporary phenomena, like publication bias, questionable research practices, the replication crisis, the statistical evaluation of replication studies and studies in which multiple data sets are used to evaluate the same research question. The course will be non-technical in nature, targeted at students and researchers who want to use the approaches for the evaluation of their own data.
The evaluation of hypotheses is a core feature of research in the behavioral, social, and biomedical sciences. In the last decade, there has been a lot of attention for inappropriate use of hypotheses testing by journals (publication bias) and authors (questionable research practices) as the main causes of the replication crisis (see, for example, Open Science Collaboration, 2015). This course will use different perspectives (classical, Bayesian, information theoretic) to teach participants in a non-technical manner the theory-based hypothesis evaluation and the appropriate application of hypothesis evaluation. The course is targeted at students and researchers who want to learn how to evaluate theory-based hypotheses.
During the first day of the course, null-hypothesis significance testing (Kuiper and Hoijtink, 2010), questionable research practices, publication bias, and the replication crisis will be discussed. This day will also be used to give a hand-on introduction to statistical analyses using R.
During the second day, hypothesis evaluation using the Bayes factor will be discussed (Hoijtink, Mulder, Van Lissa, and Gu, unpublished). There will, among others, be attention for Bayesian error probabilities, Bayesian updating, the use of Bayesian hypothesis evaluation for the evaluation of replication studies, and combining evidence from multiple studies addressing the same research question (Kuiper, Buskens, Raub, and Hoijtink, 2013).
The third day of the course will start with an introduction of information criteria (i.e., AIC and its generalization called the GORIC) and a brief repetition of theory-based hypotheses. Subsequently, it will be elaborated how the GORIC can be used to evaluate null, alternative, and theory-based hypotheses. There will be attention for GORIC weights, which have a nice interpretation. This day will, like Day 2, be concluded with examples of replication research and combining evidence from multiple studies in which informative hypotheses play an important role.
During the morning of the fourth day, a debate between three groups (classicists, Bayesians, and information theorists) will be organized in which the (dis)advantages of the approaches presented in this course will be discussed. In the afternoon, there is a lab meeting in which you have the opportunity to analyze your own data (or data provided by the lecturers) with the approaches taught in this course.
Participants are requested to bring their own laptop computer. Software will be available online.
Among our Methodology and Statistics postgraduate courses, there is one more course that address Bayesian statistics: Applied Bayesian Statistics.
The differences between theses courses are:
Please note that there are no graded activities included in this course. Therefore, we are not able to provide students with a transcript of grades. You will obtain a certificate upon completion of this course.
Prof. dr. Herbert Hoijtink and Dr. Rebecca Kuiper
The course will be non-technical in nature, that is, it is targeted at students and researchers who want to use the approaches presented for the evaluation of their own data. The participants can come from a variety of fields. For example, sociology, psychology, education, human development, marketing, business, biology, medicine, political science, and communication sciences. A maximum of 24 participants will be allowed in this course.
For an overview of all our summer school courses offered by the Department of Methodology and Statistics please click here.
After attending the course, you will understand the classical, Bayesian and information theoretic approaches to hypothesis evaluation. You will obtain the practical skills necessary to evaluate hypotheses using these approaches. Moreover, you will learn to evaluate replication studies and to combine the evidence from multiple diverse studies.
4 full days: - Days 1, 2, and 3 consist of lectures including small hands-on-your-own-laptop exercises. - Day 4 contains an elaborate discussion meeting and a lab meeting in which participants will practice on their own data (with their own laptop)
Tuition fee for PhD candidates from the Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences from Utrecht University will be funded by the Graduate School of Social and Behavioural Sciences.

Tom Hanks: "Tengo diabetes porque fui un idiota" El actor Tom Hanks ha asegurado que tiene diabetes por "haber sido un idiota y no haber controlado como es debido su dieta y su peso".
Hay dos tipos de diabetes, de tipo 1 y de tipo 2, la segunda variedad es la más común entre las personas de una edad avanzada y en muchas ocasiones está asociada con los malos hábitos alimenticios. Los efectos de este tipo de diabetes pueden ocasionar ceguera, insuficiencia renal e incluso la pérdida de miembros inferiores. Además, la diabetes tipo 2 puede aumentar el riesgo de padecer una enfermedad cardiovascular. Además, los síntomas de este trastorno incluyen la necesidad de orinar mucho, sentir sed constantemente y sentirse cansado.

Does the Body Process Fruit Sugars the Same Way That It Does Refined Sugar? Most carbohydrates are broken down into glucose -- the sugar your body uses to form energy.
It either becomes stored energy in your muscles and liver, or your body uses it immediately. Refined sugar -- the type you use in baking, add to your coffee or tea and find in sweets/candy -- is the molecule sucrose, made up of glucose and fructose. The sugar found in fruit depends on the individual fruit and can be made up of multiple different sugars -- glucose, fructose and/or sucrose. Although the sugars found in fruit are the same as those in refined sugar, their absorption depends on their chemical and plant structures, food processing and food preparation.
As a result, fruit and refined sugar have very different effects in the body. Fiber Starch is another carbohydrate found in plants, made up of glucose. Why I Quit Stevia. That Sugar Film director Damon Gameua receives shocking diagnosis after going on healthy sugar diet for just 60 days. Australian director Damon Gameua was a fit man before he took on a task many probably thought would have increased his health and wellbeing.
Instead, he received an unsettling warning from his GP, experienced dire mood swings and weight gain after taking on the low-fat, high-sugar health food diet for 60 days. "I had no soft drink, chocolate, ice cream or confectionery," Gameau told Yahoo of his project That Sugar Film – a sort of reverse documentary version of Morgan Spurlock's famed Super Size Me, in which he eats nothing but MacDonald's. "All the sugars that I was eating were found in perceived healthy foods, so low-fat yogurts, and muesli bars, and cereals, and fruit juices, sports drinks... These kind of things that often parents would give their kids thinking they're doing the right thing." Except within just three weeks, Gameau's doctor told him he had already begun to develop fatty liver disease – the most severe of outcomes of which is liver failure.
FDA: Sugar Should Be Called Sugar. Last year a judge threw out a class-action lawsuit brought against Whole Foods that claimed the grocer was misleading consumers by listing "evaporated cane juice" instead of "sugar" on the ingredient lists for its 365 brand.
Similar lawsuits have been brought against other food companies, including Chobani. The problem with the labeling language lies in process: Making sugar involves juicing sugarcane and boiling it until the liquid cooks off—evaporates—leaving behind a concentrated, sweet by-product we call…sugar. But the sameness of the ingredients that the two terms describe didn't convince U.S. District Judge Edward D. 10 Things You Don't Know About Sugar (And What You Don't Know Could Hurt You) Excessive sugar in the diet is not the best idea when it comes to healthy living. Nonetheless, few of us are consuming sugar in recommended moderate amounts and most of us are eating tons of it. In fact, worldwide we are consuming about 500 extra calories a day from sugar. That's just about what you would need to consume if you wanted to gain a pound a week. Most people know that sugar is not good for them, but for some reason, they think the risk of excess sugar consumption is less than that of having too much saturated and trans fat, sodium or calories.
Perhaps it's sugar's lack of sodium or fat that make it the "lesser of several evils," or perhaps people are simply of the mind frame that what they don't know won't hurt them. 1. 2.

Teicholz N. How the sugar industry has distorted health science for more than 50 years. Sugar industry bought off scientists, skewed dietary guidelines for decades. Back in the 1960s, a sugar industry executive wrote fat checks to a group of Harvard researchers so that they'd downplay the links between sugar and heart disease in a prominent medical journal—and the researchers did it, according to historical documents reported Monday in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine.
One of those Harvard researchers went on to become the head of nutrition at the United States Department of Agriculture, where he set the stage for the federal government's current dietary guidelines. All in all, the corrupted researchers and skewed scientific literature successfully helped draw attention away from the health risks of sweets and shift the blame solely to fats—for nearly five decades. Sugar industry funded research to cast doubt on sugar's health hazards, report says. The sugar industry began funding research that cast doubt on sugar's role in heart disease — in part by pointing the finger at fat — as early as the 1960s, according to an analysis of newly uncovered documents.
The analysis published Monday in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine is based on correspondence between a sugar trade group and researchers at Harvard University, and is the latest example showing how food and beverage makers attempt to shape public understanding of nutrition. How the Sugar Industry Shifted Blame to Fat. Photo The sugar industry paid scientists in the 1960s to downplay the link between sugar and heart disease and promote saturated fat as the culprit instead, newly released historical documents show. The internal sugar industry documents, recently discovered by a researcher at the University of California, San Francisco, and published Monday in JAMA Internal Medicine, suggest that five decades of research into the role of nutrition and heart disease — including many of today's dietary recommendations — may have been largely shaped by the sugar industry.
Sweet Lies: How the Sugar Industry Tricked Us Into Worrying About Fat. In 2007, Cristin Kearns was a general manager at Kaiser Permanente, where she ran a large group of dental practices. She was working with medical doctors at Kaiser to figure out ways they could provide better care for patients with diabetes, who are more likely to have gum disease. The work took her to a conference in Seattle focused on the links between the two diseases. As she watched the talks, attended the panel discussions, and read the materials handed out, she was struck by one thing: No one seemed to be talking about sugar.
The sugar conspiracy. Robert Lustig is a paediatric endocrinologist at the University of California who specialises in the treatment of childhood obesity. A 90-minute talk he gave in 2009, titled Sugar: The Bitter Truth, has now been viewed more than six million times on YouTube. In it, Lustig argues forcefully that fructose, a form of sugar ubiquitous in modern diets, is a "poison" culpable for America's obesity epidemic. A year or so before the video was posted, Lustig gave a similar talk to a conference of biochemists in Adelaide, Australia. Afterwards, a scientist in the audience approached him.

What happens to your brain when you eat sugar. Why your brain really craves sugar. Picture: iStock. YOU MAY want to stop blaming your sweet tooth for all those failed dieting attempts and lolly cravings, because it turns out your brain is simply after a raw calorie hit, and not necessarily of the 'sweet tasting' kind. A new study in mice has revealed the desire for calories in sugar is stronger than the drive for sweetness, meaning artificial sweeteners are 'unsatisfying' compared to actual sugar; because it is calories the body craves, and not the taste. The research conducted by Yale University reveals the brain responds to taste and calorie counts in fundamentally different ways, and if given a choice, the brain will go for calories over the taste of sweetness.
"It turns out the brain actually has two segregated sets of neurons to process sweetness and energy signals," said Ivan de Araujo of the John B. "If the brain is given the choice between pleasant taste and no energy, or unpleasant taste and energy, the brain picks energy." Toxic Sugar? SciShow Compilation Video About Sugar. This is What Happens to Your Body When You Eat a Ton of Sugar. The maximum amount of added sugar people should eat in a day is 150 calories (37.5 grams or 9 teaspoons) for men and 100 calories (25 grams or 6 teaspoons) for women, according to the American Heart Association (AHA). The body can handle, as in metabolize, at least six teaspoons of added sugar per day.
The problem is that most people consume a lot more than that. Kicking Sugar Is as Tough as Beating a Cocaine Habit. Last fall Sacha Harland, a member of the Netherlands-based web video team Lifehunters, decided to record what happened when he gave up alcohol, junk food, and sugar for a month. Four days into the stunt, Harland reported intense cravings for candy and other sugary items—the same symptoms experienced by plenty of folks who have tried to give up sweets.
