We Have Your Healthcare Marketing Answer!
Dear Healthcare Professional,
If you're like me, then you're always looking for ways to attract new patients into your practice…
Every Tom, Dick, and Harry wants to provide all the answers for you. They tell you the problems involved in getting new patients, and then, offer ways to resolve these problems. They tell us to create marketing letters, to develop websites, and to hand out business cards at health fairs, and blah, blah, blah. If you're tired of these non-sensical, time-wasting efforts, then read on…
We're going to solve your problem!
The New Patient Growth Program, the only on-line home-study course for attracting new patients, gives you proven solutions, not just suggestions.
Years ago, when I was teaching courses, giving lectures, and presenting workshops on practice management topics, I came to focus my efforts on attracting new patients to a practice. I selected marketing strategies that were already proven to be successful by many of our colleagues and used those to create this course. These special procedures or techniques are proven winners, cost effective, and very easy to implement.
My online program offers some 40+ strategies, in addition to step-by-step instructions on how to use them. Any one of these strategies can and will more than pay for the cost of this course. And the best part? You will see results!
How I learned to attract more new patients to my practice…
Look, we are all healthcare providers and have shared the same professional challenges as we developed our current practices. We all have the same problems. We want more new patients, increased practice productivity, and attainable growth and prosperity.
I'm no genius, but I did recognize early on that professional, tasteful, and effective marketing concepts (when applied correctly) could produce rapid, positive results. I know this to be true because I've done it! You can apply these same strategies and have the same success as I did.
I know what you're thinking… How does The New Patient Growth Program differ from other available informational sources?
Most authors that write about the trials and tribulations of attracting new patients talk about the problems involved and then suggest how to address those existing issues.
For instance, suggestions might include the doctor creating and sending out a welcome letter, doctor referral letter, a recall notification, developing a professional website, or maybe to design an effective practice brochure. Well, you know what?
A majority of these suggestions will never be accomplished because of the time and effort involved, the creative work necessary, and/or the cost of having someone else doing it. Thus, no pain, no gain and back to square one.
The New Patient Growth Program takes the standard strategies to a new, unheard-of level!
It gives you time-tested letter templates and cookbook instructions on how to implement these winning strategies.
You can use my brochure and/or website as your guidepost without running into copyright issues, saving you expensive design, editing, and printing costs. My pre-written letters are already proven winners, so you don't have to reinvent the creative elements that took me years to develop.
These letters and more are included in this product for immediate use. The work you need to do to attract more new patients has already been done for you, saving you time and money in the long run.
The real secret to attracting more new patients to your practice is a concept that almost everyone gets wrong!
My advice is this: Don't waste your valuable time and money testing the market with unpredictable, unproven, and poorly-planned new patient strategies. Instead, use my proven methods that can be easily implemented to provide rapid, positive results.
I have often heard the statement that marketing is a persistent process of testing, tweaking, and retesting until a desired positive response is attained.
Why not cut to the chase and use a product that has already passed the exams? Save the time, expense, and effort and get the results you want right away!
It's as easy as painting by numbers!

News Releases January 12, 2018
John Deere Introduces Popular Intelligent Boom Control to Harvesters as a Category-First
MOLINE, Ill. (January 11, 2018) — As of today John Deere now offers Intelligent Boom Control (IBC) on its 1270G Harvester in North America. A first in the harvester category, IBC provides operators with increased accuracy and productivity — bringing harvester capabilities to a whole new level.
"We are very excited to introduce Intelligent Boom Control to the North American harvester category," said Sakari Suuriniemi, product marketing manager for John Deere. "The 1270G Harvester is known for its versatility in a variety of logging applications. With the addition of IBC, the operator will have more precise control of the boom tip, and reducing the learning curve for new operators."
IBC is available exclusively for the CH7 boom with 10 meter (32.8 feet) and 11.7 meter (38.4 feet) reaches on the 1270G models. With IBC, the operator controls only the harvester head while the system takes care of the boom's movement. Designed specifically to suit the harvester work cycle, the boom's movement and operation automatically adjust as the boom is taken to a tree and when the tree is in the grapple. IBC enables precise working and the selection of the correct working methods.
"Customers who have tested the machine noted that IBC makes work easier and reduces fatigue during long days. When we developed IBC, our focus was on improving ergonomics and reducing boom fatigue, ultimately boosting operator productivity and machine durability," said Suuriniemi.
The 1270G Harvester still retains the features from the original launch, including excellent fuel economy in both the six- and eight-wheel models. The six-wheel model boasts a 200 kW (268 HP) Final Tier 4 engine, and an increased in torque compared to previous models. The eight-wheel 1270G Harvesters are designed for steep slopes and soft terrain. Known for superior traction and stability, operators can now utilize the intuitive IBC in application to further control movements in this difficult terrain, which will also reduce the learning curve for new operators.
The cabin of the G-series machine is designed to maximize operator comfort. The cabin adjusts automatically to boom movements while the automatic leveling functions absorb terrain changes.
To learn more about IBC and the 1270G John Deere Harvester, visit www.JohnDeere.ca or contact your local John Deere dealer.

26 Sep New Album out October 4th! Place your orders now!
The new album is out on October 4th.
This labour of intense joy, pain and love is finally ready.
Most of this album is woven out of haunting vocal harmonies and lush chamber pop arrangements, but there are also bare-minimum singersongwriter tracks contrasting with sprawling orchestral landscapes.
There are so many people to thank, from my family and friends to people who made it out to shows and messaged me to tell me that they enjoyed the music or were touched by it some way. This motivated me to document those live songs as a CD after all and go through that surreal and rewarding exprience of crowdfunding through startnext which further proved to me that there are people who believe in this music.
Long story short: order it via the online stores on my >>linktree<<
Or via >>bandcamp<< (in abbreviated form, as it includes one cover song and covers aren't allowed on bandcamp)
Enjoy and drop a line to hello(at)zazuka(dot)com for a physical copy.
Last but not least, there will be a show at Werkstatt der Kulturen on the 18th of October featuring femme-celle Ashia Bison Rouge. >>TICKETS HERE!<<

Louise Leborgne commented 2018-07-12 11:37:48 -0400
Great comment, Liza Rosie and Hyacinth. It seems to me that we should have known that he liked to inappropriately touch people. Look how he steps into people's bubble of private space, such as the Obama pic, Morneau pic, Macron pic, he gets way too close. Then the above picture where his hand is just on the edge of going to far. Real women prefer men who understand their limit and a set boundary, IMO. The Kokanee Groper needs to resign or get so badly whipped on election day that he takes his party with him into obscurity. I have never loathed a PM more than this uneducated, sexist pig.

This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: 'Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the LORD Almighty. What are you, mighty mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become level ground.
Zechariah 4:6-7
Be a FROG
Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. 1 Peter 5:7
At times I find myself struggling and worrying without progress on a particular task/ obstacle and then in absolute frustration after I've done all I know to do, I find myself throwing my hands and declaring "it's in your hands Lord". It's funny because I not only recognize myself in this scenario but I recognize that I continue to do it over and over again! When it finally clicked to me that I had been trying God's hands instead of truly putting it all in His hands, I began to feel the freedom of trusting God first in my life, instead of as a last resort.
FROG stands for (being) Fully Reliant on God. Our God is far greater than we can ever fathom, he owns the cattle on a thousand hills. Always remember that no matter how helpless and futile the situation might be, God is able to take even the worst details of the worst situation and turn it into abounding grace. 'But the challenge looks too big for me.' It's never too big for God. Be a FROG – trust in God.
Never Give Up
The story's told of a couple who loved mushrooms and bought several pounds of them from a roadside vendor. They made mushroom omelettes, mushroom salad, mushroom soup, and even concocted a mushroom desert. Their cat gobbled up the leftover mushrooms. Later the lady went into her kitchen and found the cat lying on the floor, gasping for breath. She immediately phoned the vet who said they'd probably gotten some poisoned toadstools and advised they go to the hospital. After having their stomachs pumped the couple came home expecting to see their cat lying lifeless on the floor. Instead the cat was in the corner with a brand new litter of kittens. What they thought were death pains were just birth pains! When it seems that all hope is gone and your dream is gasping for its last breath, don't give up – keep believing God; you're closer to giving birth than you've ever been.
Hang with other FROGS
You must cultivate the companionship of other like minded people. In Genesis we read of how Joseph (the Dreamer) by interpreting the dreams of the butler was introduced to Pharaoh, who also had a dream, one that changed Joseph's life. So build relationships with people who also have a have the same goals and values, people who strengthen your faith and shape you into the right person. '… Iron sharpens iron… so a man sharpens… his friend.' (Pro. 27:17)
Be Forgetful and Fruitful
Your willingness to forget sets your free from the past; your willingness to try something new opens the door to the future. '… Forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead.' (Phil. 3:13) "Forgetting and reaching' call for sequential action: forget, and then reach! God can help you get over it and move on. 'Does that mean I won't be able to recall the event?' No, that's amnesia. It means you won't want to recall it. God will give you the ability to refrain it, glean wisdom, and become successful because of it.

Hot chicken may be new to you, but the people of Nashville, Tennessee, have been hooked since 1945, when Prince's Hot Chicken Shack opened its doors. These days it's an institution, and folks come from far and wide to have a taste.
Marko Vulovic is one of them. The New Jersey native visited Nashville earlier this year and waited 2-1/2 hours to try the chicken, which is served on white bread (to soak up the yummy, spicy chicken grease) and also with white bread, plus dill pickle chips and coleslaw. Was it worth the wait? Absolutely, says Marko.
"As I recall, we got the 'medium' level of heat, and it was insane! I like spicy food, but that was at the limit of what I could handle. They had at least three levels hotter than that available," he says. "We picked the chicken off of the bone (only dark meat for this guy), put it on the bread, loaded it with pickle chips and coleslaw, and folded it up like a square taco for consumption. It was extremely messy, but delicious."
Why Try Hot Chicken?
Even with the hot chicken craze sweeping the nation and causing longer lines locally, Nashville still loves it. Michael Porter, who lives in the area with his family, says there's nothing like it.
"What sets it apart is not only the heat, but the flavor," he says. "When you bite into it, it is hot, but you can't stop eating it." Michael notes that the white bread and pickles help to cut the heat. All they serve at Prince's are hot chicken plates, pie and drinks, but Michael affirms that's all you'll want.
Hot Chicken at Home
The original hot chicken recipe is hard to find. Some claim it's just run-of-the-mill hot sauce, but those who love it explain it's hotter than that. It seems the inventors of this fantastic dish are keeping the secret under lock and key. Though many say they've found something close, if you want the real thing, Nashville may be your best bet. "When you go to Memphis, you find a rib house," says Michael. "When you go to New York, you go to the Stage Deli for corned beef sandwiches and cheesecake. When you go to New Orleans, you eat the crawfish. When you come to Nashville, you have to have the hot chicken."
Find Some Hot Chicken Near You
Not planning to be in Nashville anytime soon? Lucky for you, chicken shacks are popping up around the country. If you're traveling to New York City, Peaches Hot House in Brooklyn is well-known for its chicken. In Chicago, hit up one of the locations of the Budlong Hot Chicken, or Howlin' Ray's in Los Angeles. Those in Birmingham, Alabama, can visit Hattie B's satellite location (the original is in Nashville). And, for what it's worth, KFC has it on their menu, too.

12 February 2014,
COLLECTION House Limited (ASX:CLH) is continuing its upward trend, today reporting a growth in earnings for the first half of fiscal 2014, despite heavy investments in growth strategies.
The receivables manager reported a 16.2 per cent increase in net profit after tax (NPAT) from the previous period, raising the figure to $9.4 million.
Managing director and CEO Matt Thomas says growth came from diversified sources, including purchased debt ledgers and collection services.
Total revenue from ledgers, combined with that of collection services, improved period on period by 10 per cent to $52 million.
On the other hand, debt ledger revenue grew 6.5 per cent – which was noted as significant considering the ongoing overhaul of a CLH software platform.
CLH has reported it is on track for the remainder of fiscal 2014, anticipating its new software upgrade to deliver its first measurable results over the coming months.
With its half year release, CLH also reported an interim fully-franked dividend of 3.9 cents per share, an increase of the previous interim dividend of 3.6 cents.

Radio Interview: Reengineering Chocolate: WGHB Boston
February 24, 2017
- Imagine working with cocoa all day, but never knowing the taste of chocolate. Lecturer Kristy Leissle says that's the case for many farmers in Ghana, the number two producer of cocoa in the world, where high temperatures stymie the market. A new discovery by biologist Mark Guiltinan and his lab could change things, though, making chocolate less fickle and bringing it to millions - or billions - more people.

In the wilderness one quickly learns that the mind often plays tricks and is not to be relied upon, especially if other, 'harder' indicators are available. How often have I been convinced that the destination was one way when the compass pointed another. Along the same lines, it's only too easy to underestimate the time it takes to hike uphill compared to hiking on the flat, unless one knows the rule of thumb that it takes approximately three times as long. Similarly, optimism springs eternal in the wilderness and it's an experienced guide who heavily discounts the euphoria of a macho group of climbers setting out on a beautiful cloudless day to summit.
What the wilderness teaches us with respect to the limitations of the mind has been rediscovered and developed, albeit more rigorously, into the new discipline of behavioral economics. The bottom line, scientists tell us, is that the mind is riven with cognitive biases. These biases evolved at a time when they no doubt had utility, but although they have now outlived their usefulness, we are doomed to carry them around inside our heads like the cursed sailor carrying an albatross around his neck in the Rime of the Ancient Mariner.
According to cognitive scientists we are lazy and tend to favor information that confirms our beliefs. We tend to 'anchor' on irrelevant numbers, so while the asking price of a house should have nothing to do with its value, it does seem to affect the price we are willing to pay. Events in the recent past influence us more than events from long ago. We tend to overestimate the likelihood of visible risks such as a terrorist attack and ignore risks of which we are unaware. We tend to rate ourselves as better than the median. Losses cause us pain out of proportion to the pleasure of winning. We have a tendency to dwell on bad news rather than embrace good news. We are biased towards inertia and so fail to get around to taking action, even on things we want or have agreed to. Finally we tend to make choices based in large part on how the questions are framed.
These biases explain why investment success is as much about behavior as it is about investment performance. The recent price action in gold illustrates this principle and the importance of using a 'compass', a 'handrail', or some type of objective measure not subject to our cognition, to determine when to sell an investment. Objectively the fundamentals have created an almost perfect backdrop for investing in gold. Unprecedented global money printing to support asset prices and stimulate debt burdened economies, global currency wars as countries compete to stimulate exports, a growing list of possible political and/or economic black swan events, and most importantly, the unique advantage that gold presents of owning an asset with no counter-party risk in a world increasingly aware of such risk. However, despite this glowing backdrop the price of gold has dropped from a high of $1,921 on September 6, 2011 to $1,232 today, a 35 percent fall. It was crystal clear from the gold price chart when gold needed to be sold. After an 18 month period of moving sideways gold was either in the process of consolidating for another push skywards or it was making a huge top. The collapse of gold in April through key support around $1,520, was a decisive message that, for whatever reason (deflation anyone?), gold had actually topped back in 2011.
If you were still holding gold after the drop in April and you started to think that the Fed was manipulating the gold price lower to disguise inflation, or that the big players such as JP Morgan, wanted you to sell so that they could buy back gold cheaply, or that you were going to keep your gold, come what may, because it was the only true source of value in a fiat world, then you were letting your mind play tricks on you. The charts may be wrong but, unlike your mind they don't deliberately deceive.

Betsy DeVos on Education
For 15 years, DeVos served as an in-school mentor for at-risk children in the Grand Rapids (Michigan) Public Schools. Her interactions there with students, families and teachers, according to DeVos, "changed my life and my perspective about education forever." A leader in the movement to empower parents, DeVos has worked to support the creation of new educational choices for students in 25 states and the District of Columbia.
DeVos was highly critical of the program, reportedly calling it a "free money" giveaway, and sought to change and delay the program. However, she was sued, and a federal judge ruled in September the program needed to "go into effect."
Those eligible for loan forgiveness must have been enrolled at the school when it closed and not enrolled at another Title-IV school within three years of the previous school's closing.
So far, about 15,000 people have been flagged by the Education Department as eligible. About $80 million of the $150 million debt is attributed to the now-defunct Corinthian schools.
"While the law is clear and unchanged--that diversity is a compelling government interest that permits race conscious admission--retracting this guidance will make it more challenging for school districts and colleges to understand your Departments' enforcement of the law to ensure the institution is in compliance," the 21 senators wrote.
An Education Department press secretary responded in a statement without directly addressing the senators' questions: "As the Secretary has said, the Supreme Court has determined what affirmative action policies are Constitutional, and the Court's written decisions are the best guide for navigating this complex issue," Hill said. "Schools should continue to offer equal opportunities for all students while abiding by the law."
"One sexual assault is one too many. It is horrible and lamentable," DeVos said. "But the current failed system didn't work for students, it didn't work for institutions, it didn't work for anyone," she said in explaining the decision. "It didn't work because unelected and unaccountable political appointees pushed the guidance through without any period for comment from those who walk side by side with students every day. The time of ineffective and inefficient mandates is over."
Throughout her time as an education activist, DeVos has been a proponent of school vouchers, which redirect the state per-pupil education funding, giving it directly to individual families instead of school districts. Families can then select the public or private schools of their choice and have all or part of the tuition paid by the government. Of vouchers, DeVos said, "I would hope I could convince you all of the merit of that in maybe some future legislation."
When questioned by Bernie Sanders (D-VT) on making public colleges tuition free, DeVos said, "That's a really interesting idea. But we also have to consider the fact that there's nothing in life that is truly free. Somebody's going to pay for it. I think we can work together and we can work hard on making sure that college or higher education in some form is affordable for all young people that want to pursue it."
Sen. PATTY MURRAY (D-WA): Can you commit to us tonight that you will not work to privatize public schools or cut a single penny from public education?
DeVOS: I look forward to working with you to talk about how we address the needs of all parents and all students. And we acknowledge today that not all schools are working for the students that are assigned to them. And I'm hopeful that we can work together to find common ground and ways that we can solve those issues and empower parents to make choices on behalf of their children that are right for them.
MURRAY: I take that as not being willing to commit to not privatizing public schools or cutting money from education?
DeVOS: I guess I wouldn't characterize it in that way.
DEVOS: Well, I've never been more optimistic. Today there are about 250,000 students in 33 publicly funded, private-choice programs in 17 states and the District of Columbia. The movement's growth is accelerating. Within the last year, the number of students in educational-choice programs grew by about 40,000. In 2012, we saw new programs in LA, PA, VA, and NH, and expanded programs in AZ, FL, LA, and OH. In 2011, Indiana passed a major new statewide voucher program, which is only in its second academic year and is already enrolling nearly 10,000 children. We conducted polling in 5 states, and found educational choice enjoyed enormous popularity, especially among Latinos.
DEVOS: I don't want to get too deep into the weeds, but here's an episode that may be revealing. Back in 2008, in Louisiana, the state's Department of Education was clearly opposed to implementing the new pilot voucher program that had been created by Gov. Jindal and a bipartisan coalition of legislators to help children trapped in failing schools in New Orleans. The department at that time seemed to put up as many roadblocks as possible. They gave parents one week--one week!--to sign up for the program. We had to work fast to come up with creative ways to alert parents of the new program. We did everything we could to engage and inform parents about the voucher opportunity. We bought ad time on urban radio stations. We bought billboards and web ads, did mailings and phone calls. We worked with various parish churches. It was all grassroots work. It can look like tedious work, but we got 5,000 children enrolled.
DEVOS: Charter schools are another choice--a very valid choice. As we work to help provide parents with more educational choices, it is always with the assumption that charter schools are part of the equation. We think of the educational choice movement as involving many parts: vouchers and tax credits, certainly, but also virtual schools, magnet schools, homeschooling, and charter schools.
PHILANTHROPY: Do you worry that the relative popularity of charter schools is endangering the rest of your reform agenda? These days, it's fairly safe to voice support for charter schools. Does that diminish the appeal of other reforms, like vouchers and tax credits?
DEVOS: Charter schools take a while to start up and get operating. Believe me, I know, because we started one. Meanwhile, there are very good non-public schools, hanging on by a shoestring, that can begin taking students today.

*I received an ecopy of this book via NetGalley. This has not influenced my review.*
This book was not quite a retelling but was inspired by The Picture of Dorian Gray. And while it wasn't all that similar, it was still a good book in its own right.
I don't actually know what it's like to grow up with a sibling, so reading about siblings is always interesting to me. And this book had a type of sibling relationship I have not come across often in books, or at least not seen explored so deeply, even though I feel like it was a realistic one. Evadne and Dorina didn't always get along, they often annoyed each other, sometimes they purposely pushed each others' buttons or said/did hurtful things, they often didn't feel like the other cared about them, but they did still love and cared about each other. They wanted to be closer as sisters, but they just had a really hard time trying to figure out how to do that. And that relationship seemed to be the focus of the book more than anything.
As for the characters themselves, I'll be honest, neither Dorina nor Evadne was wholly likeable, but they weren't wholly unlikeable either. They were realistic. I appreciated that. And by the end, as they both grew some, they grew on me as well.
The writing was also very good. It matched the tone and setting of the story and had this way of drawing me in.
The fencing aspect was another thing I enjoyed. I didn't know anything about fencing, so that was fun to read about, and Evadne's passion for something athletic helped me to relate to her.
My one main complaint is that took a long time for things to really start happening. I feel like the first half or so was just kind of, "Ok, here they are doing stuff in London. Here are Dorina and Evadne not getting along. Here is Dorina hanging out with Lady Henry. Here is Evadne fencing." I wanted to get to the stuff about the demons sooner. Once it did get to the demons, things got faster-paced and more interesting.
I also want to note that I generally don't categorize books as LGBT+ unless the protagonist is LGBT+, but I'm making an exception in this case. Dorina, who is a lesbian, is a POV character and has a big part (even though I'd say Evadne is the protag), Dorina's relationship with Henry plays a big role in the story, and multiple other characters are LGBT+ as well.
So even though this book wasn't very similar to the original Dorian Gray, the author did ask what it would be like if Dorian's quest for aesthetic experiences didn't actually lead to corruption and stated that her intent was to create a less dark variation on the story, and in that regard, I think she succeeded.
Recommended For:
Anyone who likes the original Dorian Gray, slow-paced stories, sibling relationships, demons, and Victorian London.
Book Blurb
"A delightful, dark, and entertaining romp . . . Molly Tanzer is at the top of her form in this beautifully constructed novel."—Jeff VanderMeer, best-selling author of the Southern Reach trilogy
Victorian London is a place of fluid social roles, vibrant arts culture, fin-de-siècle wonders . . . and dangerous underground diabolic cults. Fencer Evadne Gray cares for none of the former and knows nothing of the latter when she's sent to London to chaperone her younger sister, aspiring art critic Dorina.
At loose ends after Dorina becomes enamored with their uncle's friend, Lady Henrietta "Henry" Wotton, a local aristocrat and aesthete, Evadne enrolls in a fencing school. There, she meets George Cantrell, an experienced fencing master like she's always dreamed of studying under. But soon, George shows her something more than fancy footwork—he reveals to Evadne a secret, hidden world of devilish demons and their obedient servants. George has dedicated himself to eradicating demons and diabolists alike, and now he needs Evadne's help. But as she learns more, Evadne begins to believe that Lady Henry might actually be a diabolist . . . and even worse, she suspects Dorina might have become one too.
Combining swordplay, the supernatural, and Victorian high society, Creatures of Will and Temper reveals a familiar but strange London in a riff on Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray that readers won't soon forget.

She's a former national park ranger who has written three books on eco-friendly living our editorial process Jenn Savedge Updated July 08, 2019 Photo: Zeppelin5/sxc.hu. Share Twitter Pinterest Email Home Sustainable Eating Pest Control Natural Cleaning DIY Family Green Living Thrift & Minimalism We've known for years that too much sugar can make us fat, but a team of researchers now claims that sugar may actually be killing us. Several years ago, Robert Lustig, a specialist on pediatric hormone disorders and childhood obesity at the University of California, San Francisco, School of Medicine gave a lecture called Sugar: The Bitter Truth, which was later posted on YouTube. As of yesterday, that 90-minute video detailing the biochemistry of sugar and human health was viewed by more than 2 million people. And this was before Lustig appeared on "60 Minutes" on Sunday, blaming sugar for obesity, diabetes, heart disease and other many illnesses plaguing modern society. What makes sugar so evil? It all has to do with how sweeteners are broken down in the body. Both sugar and high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) are made up of both fructose and glucose (sugar is a 50-50 mixture while HFCS is 55 percent fructose.) And it is the fructose that is causing the problems. For example, if you were to eat 100 calories of glucose in the form of a potato or 100 calories of sugar (which is half glucose and half fructose), they will be metabolized very differently once they enter the body. Glucose is broken down by every cell in the body, whereas fructose is metabolized primarily by the liver. More fructose means more work for the liver, and when the liver gets overworked, it starts converting sugars to fat. So even though the same amount of calories were consumed, it is more likely that the calories from sugar would be converted to fat than those that came from the potato. According to the Lustig, the average American person consumes roughly 130 pounds of added sugars, in the form of both natural sugar and HFCS, every year. Health advocates have been screaming about the ill health-effects of HFCS for years, but according to Lustig, metabolically, there is no difference between the human-made sweetener and natural sugar. "They are basically equivalent. The problem is they're both bad. They're both equally toxic," he says. In his "Bitter Truth" lecture, Lustig claims that these added sugars are more than just empty calories; they are poisons that are killing us each day. In his interview with CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta on "60 Minutes," Lustig went so far as to say that sugar should be treated no differently than alcohol or tobacco. "Ultimately, this is a public health crisis ... you have to do big things and you have to do them across the board," Lustig told Gupta. "Tobacco and alcohol are perfect examples. I think sugar belongs in this exact same wastebasket." Could Lustig be right? If he is, it would certainly explain the continued increase in adult obesity, childhood obesity, and diabetes over the past 30 years. It's not just that we're eating more calories, says Lustig, it's that we're eating more sugar. His argument also implies that sugar may play a role in the development of other diseases, namely heart disease, hypertension and even certain cancers.

Making It More Affordable to Raise a Family
United States Congress
Mr. Chairman and members of the committee, thank you for inviting me to testify today.
Ensuring that a family can be raised affordably in America should be an uncontroversial public policy objective.
Yet government policies at the federal, state, and local levels today raise prices of basic goods and services, to the disproportionate financial detriment of poor households and families with children.1
Where Households Spend Money
Households across the income spectrum spend large amounts on goods and services that at their most basic should be considered "necessities." Items such as food, shelter, transport, clothing, utilities, and, often, child‐care services.
The average household in the poorest 20 percent by income allocates 57 percent of its spending towards shelter, food, transport and clothing alone.2 The average married family with young children allocates 53 percent. Any meaningful analysis of family affordability must therefore consider the determinants of prices in these and other important product markets.
The Role of Policy
In recent years, housing and child‐care affordability have become particularly pertinent political issues given their high toll on family budgets. High housing and child‐care prices are often deemed market failures, necessitating corrective government intervention, price controls, or subsidies.
But in both these product markets existing government regulations constrain supply, in turn raising prices.
Extensive work has shown how overly‐restrictive, local land‐use planning and zoning laws constrain new housing supply, particularly in major cities.3 As demand for housing rises, an unresponsive supply of homes drives up the market price of housing services, forcing downsizing, longer commutes, or higher rents and mortgage payments on poorer families.
Lesser known is that state‐level child‐care staffing regulations—notably, restrictive staff to child ratios and qualification requirements for workers—reduce the supply of child‐care centers in poor areas, driving up prices and reducing formal care options for families.4
Again and again, one finds the same pattern of government policies increasing prices. The federal sugar program5, milk‐marketing orders6, and ethanol mandates raise the price of families' groceries7; federal fuel‐standard regulations8 and state‐level automobile dealership laws inflate the cost of driving9; protectionist tariffs raise retail clothing and footwear prices10; and state occupational licensing laws create barriers to entry for workers raising the price of services from hair braiding to dentistry.11
My research has sought to aggregate the price effects of all these policies. Using cautious assumptions, I find that, combined, they raise prices faced by typical poor families directly by anywhere between $830 and $3,500 per year.12 That's between 7 percent and 30 percent of average after‐tax income for households in the poorest quintile.13
Given my analysis excludes much utilities and labor market regulation, this severely understates the negative price impacts government intervention has on basic goods and services. Nor does this calculation consider the potentially huge indirect costs. We know, for example, that elevated housing, child‐care and transport costs make it more physically or financially difficult for families to access jobs with higher wages.14
The Benefits of a Cost‐Focused Affordability Agenda
Undoing the worst of these price‐inflating, regressive regulations could therefore benefit poor families considerably.
For example, estimates suggest that relaxing the average mandated staff‐to‐child ratio by just one child across all age groups would reduce child‐care prices by 10 percent or more.15 On housing, some economists estimate that lowering regulation levels in just New York, San Francisco, and San Jose to the median of all US cities would raise nationwide GDP by nearly 9 percent.16
Addressing government policies that drive high prices at the source would also dampen the demands we see for risky rent control measures, affordable housing mandates, higher minimum wages, government subsidized child‐care, and new tax credits and allowances.
My main message is therefore simple: before proposing new or expanded federal programs we should acknowledge that important pro‐market reform levers already exist to improve family affordability, particularly at the state and local government level.
These regulatory changes, especially in housing and child‐care policy, do not require yet more federal borrowing, nor do they come with the risks associated with wage and price controls further worsening the availability of housing, child‐care, and low‐skilled job opportunities.
Such a "cost‐based, affordability agenda" may not be the full or final answer to the affordability challenge you're considering. But before reaching for new programs or regulation, we – through government policy at levels — should at least attempt to undo the harm caused by existing policies.

On April 30, 1919, Instituto Industrial (Lima Training School) opened its doors in a small rented house in Miraflores, a suburb of Lima, the capital of Peru. H. B. Lundquist was the principal and only faculty member.
When news broke about the opening of a training school, Agustín Alva and two of his cousins came from Contumazá, Cajamarca. These three, plus another young man from Laraos, an isolated town in the department of Lima, constituted the entire student body.
Alva was the first student to graduate, and he subsequently entered the ministry. The members of the second (1928) and third (1930) graduating classes all became Seventh-day Adventist missionaries.
Today the Union Adventist Educational Complex (Complejo Educativo Adventista Union) has three campuses, including a campus in Ñaña that includes Peruvian Union University and Peruvian Union Academy.

Men, add some fun to your wardrobe with these vibrant prints
If you are the kind of person who likes to experiment and innovate sartorially, it is time to refresh your wardrobe. Put aside your stripes and checks and try on these super cool prints this season.
* Palm prints: Palm prints are typically associated with Hawaii trips and travelling. The constant hot and humid climate calls for some cool and fresh vibes, even if you're not travelling, you can have a dash of greenery around you via palm printed shirts. A half sleeve palm printed shirt can be paired with shorts and sneakers and there you are, Mr Uber Cool.
* Geometric prints: Geometric prints are peppy and sober at the same time. This is easy to incorporate and fits best from casual to formal wear. From quadrilaterals to triangles to circles to some crazy shapes, these are immediate eye catchers. A white geometric printed shirt paired with denims is good to go!
* Ombre prints: An ombre denim shirt is a perfect alternative to ditch block prints this season. With monsoon right here, the gradual blending of one colour hue to other is a perfect match to your dark blue denims. It also gives a lot more room to do an ombre with multiple colours in it instead of using just a monochromatic colour scheme.
* Conversation prints: Well, if you're a person who likes to experiment with fun in your styling, then conversation prints are just for you. The season's best and a must-have for men. This quirky pattern can be of animal print, your favourite cartoon or random things like fries, umbrellas, flags and what not. So choose from an array of unconventional patterns, put your reading glasses on and join the fun ride.
* Patch work shirts: It was originally invented to use the scraps of fabrics and now have become a trendsetter. Denim patches undoubtedly looks best. In fact, nowadays more and more brands are creating patched shirts that consists of printed fabrics. These are super casual, season friendly and give an edgier vibe.

Bohemian Rhapsody Review
New Queen movie is "Under Pressure" to meet expectations.
November 16, 2018
"Bohemian Rhapsody", the song by Queen, is one of the most iconic progressive pop-rock songs of all time. Running at six minutes, nearly unprecedented for its time, "Bohemian Rhapsody" stands tall as a triumphant symphony of earworms and harmonies that's far outlasted its status as a chart-topping single in 1975.
"Bohemian Rhapsody", the movie about Queen, however, stands far worse than its contemporary. Admittanently, "Bohemian Rhapsody" is not a great movie. At times, it's not even that good of a movie. As a forgettable, hackneyed, and almost offensive biopic of Queen's legendary frontman, Freddie Mercury (Rami Malek), "Bohemian Rhapsody" feels less like an in-depth character study and more like a smudged transcript of a Wikipedia page with a horribly compressed pace and bland mess of melodramatic and cliche writing. As a tribute to Queen and Freddie Mercury, "Bohemian Rhapsody" fundamentally fails.
But, despite its many, many, many shortcomings, at the sum of its parts, "Bohemian Rhapsody" is an unquestionably entertaining ride through Queen's history as long as you confused the real-life events of Queen, with a late-night rerun of famed rock-and-roll mockumentary, "This Is Spinal Tap."
Given the film's staggeringly short, sub 2-hour, runtime, the film expectedly compresses the band's biography; but the way the film glosses over major life events and the band's trials and tribulations is baffling. Within the first 20 minutes or so, Mercury has already joined the band Smile, became a rock-and-roll hit in the U.K., found the supposed love of his life, renamed the band from Smile to Queen and created the piano melody to "Bohemian Rhapsody" (the song that is). The film has a breakneck pace that constantly and frequently teases the audience with the allure that perhaps there's more to these events than it's letting on. The movie never stops going and even when it does, the events portrayed are chock full of historical inaccuracies. "The Blues Brothers" feels more fleshed out than the characteractures on display here. Freddy is a problematic, dramatic and overly flamboyant homosexual partyhound who constantly butts heads with his wisecracking "family-men" bandmates, despite the fact that, in reality, they were living the rockstar lifestyle far earlier and far crazier than Freddy ever was.
"Bohemian Rhapsody" is decidedly a little too safe in its portrayal of Mercury and Queen. Perhaps the reason for this is because of the band's heavy involvement with the film. A brief history for the uninformed: "Borat's" Sacha Baron Cohen was originally slated to play the role of Freddie Mercury, but soon left the project due to reaching an impasse with Queen's real life guitarist Brian May. Cohen wanted to do a much darker portrayal of the events in the film, but the band-formerly-known-as "Queen" didn't want the film to besmirch their branding. Cohen dropped the film, and since then the film has been passed around in an arduous process of development hot potato from 2013 until Rami Malek signed on in late 2016. Then in December of 2017, director Bryan Singer was booted from the film under allegations of sexual assault and was replaced by "Eddie the Eagle's" Dexter Fletcher who took over late in production and rushed the film out to theatres. The end result is the film we see today. Far too inaccurate for a diehard audience hoping for a substantial biopic and far too cliched to be that memorable for those who're unfamiliar with Queen. "Bohemian Rhapsody" seems to only be for an audience comprised of fans of Queen's music and music only. If the only thing you know about Queen is that Freddie Mercury was a homosexual icon with a fantastic vocal range, then this movie will surely speak to you.
It's no surprise the soundtrack to the movie is killer, but it'd be more shocking if it wasn't. Queen's greatest hits are up front in full display, and the almagnation of Rami Malek and Freddie Mercury impersonator Marc Martel's voices faithfully recreate some of Freddie's most famous vocal tracks. The film basks in its use of music, and the film's finale is a great example of that. In a bizarre but nonetheless impressive choice, the film's closing, 20 or so minutes, is devoted entirely to a beat-for-beat recreation of Queen's Live Aid performance, a real life testament to Queen's performing prowess, and an even better testament to Rami Malek's acting performance.
For all the issues that the script seems to have with Freddie, it's a delight to see that Rami Malek handles the role with grace. It's truly commendable that Malek portrays Freddie's flamboyance so effortlessly without overdoing it. Any lesser actor could easily get lost in the minutiae, but Malek truly encapsulates the role in its entirety, making the only unbelievable part of his performance his fake set of teeth that he wears throughout the film.
Malek isn't the only great performance in the film either as the supporting actors are just as well judged. Ben Hardy, Gwilym Lee and Joseph Mazzello give entertaining performances with shocking likeness as Freddie's contemporaries, and Lucy Boynton gives a heartfelt performance as Mary Austin, Mercury's once lover. Not to mention the fantastic cameo by Mike Myers that's so on the nose it couldn't be anything but the best bit of comedy in the whole film.
It's here that I'm at a crossroads with the film because the movie is almost a love letter to the band's legacy. Every recording session is presented with comedy and grace, and the aforementioned finale serves as not only entertainment, but a sweeping tour de force for both Rami Malek and the Freddie Mercury presented in the film. But on the other hand, I can't shake the sense of sleaze that comes with the altercation of facts and Mercury's character. The timeline is more warped than a funhouse mirror and the only thing it accomplishes is a pretty by-the-book point-to-point plot. But on the other, other hand the cliched plot lends itself to a movie going experience best coupled with turning off your brain and simply taking in the sights, sounds and impeccable performances. Like the song, "Bohemian Rhapsody" can't decide if it's real life or fantasy, but in the end nothing really matters as the movie is as easy come and easy go as you like. If you're looking for a dedicated and accurate biopic then I'd spare yourself from this monstrosity, but if an entertaining performance and a rocking soundtrack is what you're in the mood for, then don't stop yourself from having a good time.

Like any true diva, the older Sir Elton John gets, the more he shows off his sassy side. Whether he's hurling insults at the paparazzi or badmouthing Madonna, one thing is certain -- the bitch is back.
But, hopefully, after his November 4th show at the FedExForum, we'll all be a little more inclined to associate John with hit-making ballads and melodic piano-playing. He's stopping in Memphis on his Peachtree Road tour in support of his latest album by the same name. Since it isn't due out until November 9th, the show will give locals a sneak preview of Captain Fantastic's latest body of work.
With songs written by John's longtime lyricist Bernie Taupin, Peachtree Road is rumored to be a country-rock album reminiscent of 1971's Tumbleweed Connection. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, John attributes this to "the air we're breathing in Atlanta," where he has a home.
Of course, he'll likely play some old standards as well. With 43 albums recorded over the past 34 years, he's got quite the bank to draw from. Besides, the night wouldn't be complete without "Honky Cat."
Elton John, 8 p.m. Friday, November 4th, at FedExForum,
200 S. Third St. (tickets, 525-1515), $35-$85.

Warm up The Winter Nights with This Vegan Chili Recipe
A great vegan chili recipe contains lentils, not beans. They have the richness and meaty flavor that we associate chili with, and although this recipe doesn't call for a slow cooker, you absolutely can throw it all in, set it on low for 8 hours and have an amazing dinner ready as you walk in the door from work.
Vegan Chili Recipe
- 8.5 cups of home-made or vegan based veggie broth
- 1 medium sized yellow onion diced
- 1 medium green bell pepper diced
- 4 cloves of garlic minced
- 5-6 teaspoons of chili powder (or more if you prefer it extra spicy)
- 2.5 cups of yellow lentils
- 2 15oz cans of diced tomatoes
- In a large pot, add the diced onion and green pepper for around 4 mins or until soft.
- Add in one cup of broth, diced garlic, chili and mix for 30 second to 1 min.
- Add in remaining ingredients, bring to boil and reduce to simmering for 30 mins.
- Check if lentils are tender, if so. Remove from heat and serve.

"Well….this is different," I thought. I've done this sort of thing before. But as usual with this third child, the experience seems familiar and foreign all at once. So it goes with an evolving person.
We were late to preschool this morning, but I decide not to get stressed out about it, like I sometimes do. What matters more than being on time is being together. This is Mom's Morning, after all.
And at our preschool, Mom's Morning is a special time for moms to be with their kids at preschool. Snapping at my son to hurry him up so I don't look bad in front of all the other moms is no way to get that started. Instead, I immerse myself in the process of getting there rather than the result of being punctual.
The teachers have an art project all laid out for us. Picture frames. But of course Zachary has to stop in at the bathroom to wash hands before we get started.
Instead of coming with him to move things along, I stay outside and wait. I remind myself his independence is more important than my desire for control.
We eventually find a spot and Zachary gets going on the frame. Gluing treasures on pre-assembled, brightly painted popsicle sticks.
He doesn't seem to need my input. He gets lost in his project. I watch as he maneuvers a dollop of glue onto a stick and carefully moves it over to his frame.
His hand hovers over the wooden containers on the table, lightly touching each of his options. Feathers. Buttons. Shells. Smooth glass rocks. He is considering. This is his creative process.
He repeats the steps with the occasional rogue string of glue landing on his hands somewhere. He tries to rub it off, but remains unsatisfied. He excuses himself to wash his hands. He does not like sticky fingers.
He comes back to the table and focuses back on his work. He is careful, thoughtful. I fall in love watching him.
The second time he gets up to wash his hands (particularly sticky glue), I notice from my seat that most of the other children are done with their project and have moved on to other activities.
I feel a shove from the old me to hurry Zachary along. God forbid we don't keep the same pace as the others. Then someone would have to wait for us. Although really, would that be so bad? What treasure might they find? What might you?

How to prevent loss of files from an Android connected to Windows 10
Many users reported a pretty serious problem after they connected smartphones Android to a PC running Windows 10. After connecting, the files in the storage space where they are usually pictures, video si documents, they disappeared. And disappear on both the smartphone and Windows 10, without the possibility of being recovered.
Keeping in mind that smartphones offer generous storage space and holidays and holidays most of the pictures and videos are made with the mobile phone, it would not be nice to lose them all when we try to download them to the computer.
All the devices Android can be connected to the Windows PC using a USB data cable. When connecting to an Android and Windows, Media Transfer ProMTP tocol opens automatically. This is Microsoft's protocol for transferring media files (photos and videos) between Android and Windows. Even though there is often a stable protocol, there are situations where data transfer via MTP leads to their loss. Many users complained that after they used the transfer of pictures or videos via MTP, they disappeared from both the smartphone and the computer. From each split is a bug that appears only in the scenario where we move files to Android while the MTP connection is on. So, to avoid unpleasant situations, while MTP is on, do not move or modify files on your Android device.
The operations in which files can be lost are:
- if you are moving files on your smartphone to an external device connected to Windows 10.
- if you copy files, the process seems to work, but they never reach the location where they are sent or elsewhere. They just disappear.
This issue has been reported on Nexus 6P, HTC U11, Nokia 6, Moto G5, OnePlus 3 and 5, Xiaomi Mi 6, Sony Xperia Z3 Compact and other Android devices.

A man connected with the 2017 murders of notorious mobster Angelo Musitano and Mila Barberi is dead, according to Hamilton police.
Investigators with a multi-jurisdictional task force have confirmed with authorities in Mexico that suspect Michael Cudmore was found dead at the end of June 2020.
Detectives say Cudmore's body was recovered in an abandoned vehicle at the side of a rural road and have limited details about how he died.
"Members of the Hamilton Police Service have been in contact with Cudmore's family to assist them in repatriating Cudmore's body and to ascertain the facts surrounding his death," police said in a release on Wednesday morning.

Angelo Musitano, notorious Hamilton mobster, killed in shooting
Authorities have had no contact with Cudmore since he fled to Mexico in May 2017 and believe he joined another person of interest in both murders, Daniele Ranieri.
Ranieri was found dead in March 2018, according to police. It's believed he was murdered and his body left in a ditch in Mexico.
Angelo Musitano died in hospital on May 2, 2017, after he was found with multiple gunshot wounds inside a pick-up truck at a Chesapeake Drive house, near Rockhaven Lane, in Waterdown at around 4 p.m.
Angelo and younger brother of Pat Musitano were charged with first-degree murder in 1997, accused of ordering the death of Hamilton mob boss Johnny "Pops" Papalia.

Gunman wanted in Angelo Musitano homicide also fatally shot woman in Vaughan: police
Three years later, they were sentenced to 10 years in prison for conspiracy to commit murder in the shooting death of Niagara crime boss Carmen Barillaro.
The hitman for both murders, Kenneth Murdock, took a plea deal and named the Musitanos as the men who ordered the killings.
The Musitano brothers were released from prison in 2007. Pat Musitano was shot dead in Burlington on July 10, 2020.
Mila Barbieri was killed in a March 2017 double shooting at a Vaughan, Ont., address on Caster Avenue near Weston Road and Highway 7.
Barberi and her 40-year-old boyfriend, Saviero Serrano, were both shot while inside a parked vehicle outside an electrical supply store, according to detectives.

Police say mobster Pat Musitano shot dead in Burlington, Ont.
A joint investigation between York Regional Police and Hamilton police say the gunman wanted for the targeted shooting of Musitano was also responsible for that double shooting.
The intended target was Serrano, according to detectives. He survived the shooting and is alleged to be tied to organized crime in York region, say police.
Cudmore, Daniel Tomassetti from Ancaster, and Jabirl Abdalla of Hamilton were all accused of being connected to the murders.
"It's still an open investigation and we're still of the belief that those three were not the masterminds behind either Mila's death or Angelo Musitano's death," Det. Sgt. Peter Thom said in a presser out front of Hamilton's central station on Wednesday.
Abdalla was arrested in Sept. 2018, while warrants were issued for Cudmore and Tomassetti.
Investigators say Cudmore and Tomassetti fled to Mexico and warrants from Interpol were issued worldwide for the pair.
Abdalla is awaiting a trial date for his alleged participation in the murders.
Tomassetti, who fled to Mexico on Jan. 27, 2018, is still at large according to Hamilton police. Family members say the suspect is scared, but do not know his whereabouts, according to investigators.
"I believe they're aware that he is alive and is still in that area," Thom said.
"We will be making steps to speak to them again to see if they have any further concerns for Daniel's safety. I believe at this time there's nothing to indicate he is dead."

Wiper Pop-Up Cards
After seeing something similar on a YouTube video I couldn't wait to try making these wiper pop-up cards.
I'm really happy with how they came out and how many different ways they can be used. As with everything crafty your imagination is your only limit.
Ice-cream Card Front:
The background was created by sponging Lemon, Pixie, and Glacier inks randomly over the card base.
Then I used the new Stitched Rectangle Frames I'm in love with to cut a white frame.
I liked the sponged background and wanted to show a bit more so I used the circles from the Shaker Window Thin Cuts to cut a piece out of the white frame and then cut a stitched circle frame to go around the circle.
The ice-cream's were coloured in with watercolour paints and the shadow stamp of the ice-cream cone was inked using the rock'n'roll effect. Keep an eye out for the next post where I share the rock'n'roll effect on a new stamp set.
Air plane Birthday Card Front:
The blue cloud background was cut on the Cricut using the Artistry Collection. If you've previously purchased this collection you'll be able to open the Cricut file I've created for this card and make it with ease. If not I'm sure there are some cloud designs available to use on Design Space.
The paper air plane comes on the Wish You Were Here stamp set. I reversed the image for one of the planes using the back of a stamp.
So, with the fronts explained, who's excited to give these a try?
I can't wait to see what you create with this template, and can only imagine the smiles on peoples faces when they receive a card like this.
The button below will take you to my Freebies page where you'll find the video and Cricut link to access the different files.
For anyone who doesn't have a Cricut I've added the option to purchase the mechanisms in packs of 10. Click the Store button below.
