So what exactly is in this burger again?
Last updated at 17:17, Friday, 25 January 2013
I HAD some Tesco burgers last week, and my voice went all croaky afterwards. I was definitely a little horse.
I expect you've heard all the jokes by now, since the startling discovery that Tesco, and various other supermarkets, were stocking products that were a higher percentage of Shergar, rather than burger, than you'd generally think reasonable.
The brilliance of Twitter shone through, with jokes and Photoshopped pictures doing the rounds before most people had even had time to look at their burger and chips and think "Ooo – should I? Maybe if I put more ketchup on."
This reminded me of a great story that an old boss of mine told me, in the 90s, when I worked for BT, having somehow gained employment with them as a computer operator, when I didn't own one, or, in fact, had ever actually used one.
Anyone under 30 is now trying to imagine how that could even be possible. A few people I worked with wondered how it was possible I got the job, too.
Anyway, the story goes like this: Whilst at university, my boss went for a fine night out with some chums who were studying Biology, and having consumed the usual excessive amount of beer, headed homeward, only to undergo that frightening mental condition that makes normally sane, intelligent, rational people, suddenly think that it would be a really brilliant idea to buy a kebab from a van.
A teenage right of passage is definitely the moment when you're stood outside a kebabmobile, peering beerily at the large chunk of meat whilst fumbling for change, and your cloudy brain manages one frightening moment of clarity, and you find yourself thinking "Exactly what IS that meat, and how did they get such a large chunk of it? What kind of animal has a body that shape anyway?"
Shortly afterwards, you'll forget such universe-altering questions, accept some salady bits without knowing why (you won't eat them anyway), and try and out-macho your mates with the chilli sauce.
On this night though, one of the students recollected the questions on the weave back to their digs, and decided it was of such extreme importance that the world needed an answer, and that they shouldn't go to bed, but go to the lab and figure it out. For the betterment of humanity. And because it would be a laugh.
Some ungodly hour of the morning later, the results were in... kind of.
Unsurprisingly, it turned out to be several types of meat – pork, beef, even chicken, and something else they couldn't quite identify. After poring over the books, and consuming enough coffee to awaken a coma case, the closest match they could come up with was... seagull.
Hungry now? Thought not.

The Russian import talks about running, Enrique and Miami.
By Fred Gonzalez
Miami resident, tennis bombshell and K-Swiss fashionista Anna Kournikova changed up her regular routine a bit this past weekend. She ran the four-mile leg of the Nautica South Beach Triathlon as part of a celebrity relay team that included Olympian Dana Torres (swimming) and model/triathlete Katya Myers (biking). With a large bottle of water in hand post-run, and the admission that she ate too much seafood the night before, Kournikova, 26, took a time out to talk about running, boyfriend Enrique Iglesias and her home.
Why did you decide to compete in the triathlon?
"The most important reason I did this was for St. Jude Children's Hospital. With it here in Miami, it was a no-brainer. I had never done one of these, so it was also a new experience and challenge for me."
Did you do any kind of special training, or did you just get up and go?
"It was more like I'll just get up in the morning and do it, and whatever happens afterwards, who cares. I workout regularly, so I did not change one thing. I do my usual 30 to 45 minute weights and then I walk for like an hour or so. I don't run. Four times a week."
Did you watch Enrique [Iglesias] perform on the Latin Billboards?
"I did. I watched it on TV. I didn't go. We never mix work. We keep that separate."
Why did Miami become home for you?
"It's really strange, but ever since I came her for the first time in 1992, I fell in love with it. I thought if I can make enough money, I would buy a place here. But in 1997, I moved here permanently and Miami is the only place where I actually own property."
What is it about Miami that's special for you?
"I just love the area and the water and the weather and the people. I travel so much for work that when I come home, it's like I am on vacation. I like the relaxed lifestyle and being able to wear flip-flops and shorts. In a city like New York you can't go outside and relax, and I don't have time to worry about how I look. And I like that it's a small community. I just like everything about it."
Do you have any favorite restaurants?
"I don't go to big, new trendy ones. I go to classic ones, like China Grill and Nobu and Bond Street. Big Pink. Alta Mar. I don't normally go to Ocean Drive or Lincoln Road."
Would you change anything about Miami?
"I think Miami is perfect. I wouldn't want the roads to be any bigger because there would be more cars. Parking is a little difficult, but I wouldn't change anything."

About 1,500 students will attend summer school classes in Merced
Many things will be different about the Summer Academy for Academic Achievement to be offered by the Merced City School District in June.
The program will serve about 1,500 second- through seventh-grade students at three campuses. Students may be exposed to teaching through the new Common Core State Standards and could be using Chromebook tablet technology for the first time.
Annie Dossetti, the district's assistant superintendent of educational services, said four times the number of students served last year will take part in this year's program, which runs June 16 to July 18 at Burbank and Sheehy elementary schools and a middle school to be determined. Classes will run from 8 a.m. to noon.
"This is a wonderful opportunity for students to solidify and expand their learning while acquiring the skills that will prepare them for college and careers," said Elena Castro, director of curriculum and categorical compliance.
Board of Education members recently approved the $454,706 expense of running the summer school. It will involve three site principals, 50 teachers, three office managers, six application technicians and three part-time custodians.
"The combination of rigorous content and application of technology for learning is a 'win-win' for both the student and the teacher," Castro said. She added that reading and math fluency skills are crucial in academic achievement, especially in the lower grades.
Daily practice of fluency skills during the summer months, when so many students lose learning, is essential to preparing students to more successfully grasp sophisticated concepts, according to Castro.
Dossetti said the summer academy will provide students with additional learning opportunities during the summer, as well as providing training for teachers in integrating technology into the classroom.
"The creative use of these technologies has the potential to engage our students and instill an excitement about learning as we prepare our students for college and career readiness," Dossetti said.
Applications will be made available to families through their neighborhood school offices by the first week of February. Students will be chosen on a first-come, first-served basis, based on academic need.
"Students who would benefit from having more time to reinforce previously learned essential concepts, as well as fluency, in both reading and math are encouraged to apply," Dossetti said.
With the support of the application technicians, classrooms will be equipped with enough Chromebooks to allow each student use of a device during the summer classes.
Teachers will use the Chromebooks for instruction and creation of projects and performance tasks for students, as well as access to reading and math fluency programs, Dossetti said.
Training in Common Core standards, Chromebook applications and cart use will be offered to teachers for a minimum of three days before summer classes begin. Chromebooks were purchased with state Common Core implementation funds.

Hi Strictly Styles in San Jose here is the site. I have a natural and I was referred to Tene' from someone with a natural. She does a great job.

I have to say The Hair Scene in San Jose. The address is 1640 West San Carlos, San Jose. Their phone number is 408-297-4247. I highly recommend Jeannette. And Tanika is good too. They don't braid hair there, but they do everything else including weaves. They care about your hair. This is the only place I go. They are a professional hair salon. You won't see children running around, they are allowed only if getting service. Check them out.

I go to Michelle Renee on Geary St, Union Sq, SF. When I first moved to the Bay, I couldn't find ANYBODY to give me a good recommendation on the Peninsula or South Bay. I went to several salons, only to be disappointed by the stylists being HOURS behind schedule, forgetting appointments, not showing up, "extracurricular" activities going on, etc. I heard about Michelle Renee on the radio and on TV because she does the hair of several TV/Radio personalities and some high profile local celebrities. She also does a fantastic job on hair period and has a lot of experience. She has recently started an image consulting business and is a representative for Bill Blass fashions. www.michellerenee.com Cheryl |

I go Strictly Styles (off of Saratoga/Kiely) and Image I.E (downtown San Jose), but my absolute FAVORITE is Edera at Dolce Vita Salon/Spa on 1st, in between Taylor and Jackson. She is great, and she usually runs from $45-$70, depending on what you get. Edera asks you what you want to do with your hair every step of the way (product or no product, etc.) and makes sure you're satisfied before leaving.

Be careful with strictly braids on fruitdale. I used to go there and I would usually develop a rash. I thought it was just due to the braids, but showed it to a friend who is a skin care specialist and she told me what it was and that it was due to dirty equipment.
She thought it was due to a dirty comb since I would only have the rash on the part line and I always got my hair braided loosely so it was not due to the tension |

From the Colonel's Regiment
An Austrian concept roughly translated to mean "a meeting between friends". It was discovered at the Augustiner Braustübl in Salzburg. Steve noticed that we were sitting at a table with a placard that read "stammtisch". He was very excited by this and told us that someone he worked with had explained the concept to him.
In Austria it is traditional for a group of friends to book a particular table in a place for an evening and then any of the friends can turn up at any point in the evening with the knowledge that some people they know will be there. This fantastic concept was adopted by the Colonel's Regiment. They held a proper stammtisch on their last night in Salzburg at the Augustiner Braustübl.

Stammtisch locations
Augustiner Braustübl
A beer hall in 4 Salzburg that is attached to a monastery and in which the monks brew their own beer. Beer is served in litres. Singing is not allowed, but this did not stop a group of rugby playing drunks, and also Dave, David and Mike who sang renditions of "Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag", "Who do you think you are kidding, Mr Hitler?" and "Inflamation of the foreskin". It is also famous for allowing people to have a stammtisch. The Colonel's Regiment took advantage of this and used the venue to host their final night stammtisch in Salzburg. Dave and Steve were the first to arrive at the stammtisch, followed by Rupert and David and finally Chris and Mike.
American bar
In 5 Genoa a final night stammtisch was held at the American bar. Drinks are very pricey there, but are accompanied by crisps, nuts and sometimes even mini toasted paninis. This time Dave and Chris were the first to arrive, followed by Amal and Mike and finally joined by Rupert and David.
A bar in 6 Heidelberg, frequented by masses of students on Saturday nights and apparently no one any other night of the week. I-Punkt is decked out with high tables and bar stools and is famous for an extensive schnapps menu including Sauerapfel and Apfelkorn. Steve and Mike arriving first. They were joined an hour later by David and Rupert. Rupert nearly got knocked out by an overhead light shaped like a penis falling out of the ceiling.
Luz de Gas
It is situated on a boat in Port Vell, 7 Barcelona. It was a particular favourite with the Colonel's Regiment as it serves top quality sangria and tapas. Amal and Mike were the first to arrive. After relaxing with tapas and sangria, they were joined by Dave and Chris and finally by David and Rupert.
Andy's bar
The site of the final night stammtisch in 8 Oslo. It is a sports bar on the main street. Chris and Mike being the first ones to arrive. They were shortly joined by Steve and David and some time later by Rupert and Dave. Steve was delighted to get an opportunity to see Newcastle United play Chelsea on the big screen there, but wasn't so delighted when the final score was 4–0 to Chelsea.
Gollem is a bar in 9 Amsterdam. It is a very small bar which serves about a hundred different kinds of bottled beer. The small bar is located on the left as you enter the bar and the majority of the seating is up a narrow flight of stairs opposite the entrance. There is a small flight of stairs leading down to a very strange bathroom with a raised toilet in it. The Colonel's regiment spent a pleasant evening in this bar on the final night of Amsterdam, with Steve and Mike arriving first to the stammtisch. About ten minutes later, David and Rupert arrived. After about half an hour, Dave joined the group, with Jon arriving a further 45 minutes later. Moules wandered in much later, having taken the opportunity to perform some dicking around on his own somewhere.
It is claimed that the similarity between the name of the bar and the character Gollum from The Lord of the Rings is pure coincidence. It is speculated that they did laugh when first they found out.
Havana bar
The Havana bar is a bar in 10 Zürich with a Cuban theme. It is in the old town at the edge of the Christmas market. Unable to wake Dave, Mike left for the stammtisch on his own, arriving first. Ten minutes later he was joined by Amal and David. About 40 minutes later, Chris and Rupert turned up, with Dave finally joining the regiment a further 20 minutes later.
Cafe Kamienica
The Cafe Kamienica, tucked away in a quaint back street in old town 11 Gdańsk, quickly became a favourite of the Regiment. They are famous for their kamikadze cocktails served in four separate glasses. Mike arrived at the stammtisch first, at about ten minutes to six. Dave joined him 10 minutes later, with Jon arriving a further 20 minutes after Dave. 40 minutes later, David and Rupert arrived, with Chris turning up about 5 minutes afterwards.
Chris had a screaming orgasm in the Cafe Kamienica.
Vespa is a bar on the main street in 12 Helsinki. In the winter, it serves a variety of good beers and glogi, some of which is laced with a variety of Finnish schnapps. Mike and David arrived at the stammtisch first, at about twenty past six. Chris and Rupert joined them just over an hour later, with Steve arriving a further 20 minutes after Chris and Rupert.
Kaffibarinn is a bar in central 13 25 Reykjavík. Its most unusual feature is the presence of a London Underground sign outside it. Apparently this is owing to the influence of Damon Albarn from Blur, who is rumoured to be part owner of the establishment. The Colonel's Regiment visited Kaffibarinn twice in Reykjavik - on the first night and again for the final night stammtisch. Whilst pleasant during the week when there are few people there, which enable you to make use of the comfortamead area upstairs, on the weekend it turns into a horrible, crowded smokamead and should be avoided at all costs.
Mike and David arrived at the stammtisch first at around 6p.m. Chris and Rupert joined them around 7.15p.m.
Schateke is a bar in 14 Hanover which the Colonel's men visited several times during mission 14. On the final night, Mike was the first to arrive, around 6.00p.m. David and Rupert bumped into Steve and Dave on route to the stammtisch, but took the stairs from the room whilst the others took the lift. They then got a head start and arrived at the stammtisch around 6.30p.m. After stopping for gluhwein on route, Dave and Steve joined the others around 7.00p.m.
Schateke is also the place where they first obtained Hel's choice from the mentalist list, from a rather eccentric waitress. She picked Wrocław and was disappointed that it didn't win the overall draw. She obviously didn't understand the significance of Hel's choice.
The 15 Geneva stammtisch was held outdoors at the cafe bar Arn. Mike and Dave were the first to arrive, around 5.10p.m. David and Rupert arrived 50 minutes later at about 6.00p.m. with Chris finally joining the regiment at 7.00p.m.
The 16 Athens stammtisch was again held outdoors at the bar Pavel. Mike and Dave were the first to arrive, around 5.20p.m. David joined them about half an hour later at 5.50p.m. with Rupert and Steve arriving at around 6.20p.m.
Cafe Moustachio
The 17 Porto stammtisch was held outdoors at Cafe Moustachio. Dave and David arrived first around 7.00p.m. with Rupert and Mike arriving just after them at around 7.05p.m. Steve joined them somewhat later at around 7.45p.m.
The 18 Berlin stammtisch was held at Brel bar. Mike and Steve arrived first at around 5.30p.m. David and Rupert joined them later, at around 6.10p.m.
The Pub
One of very few bars in 19 Valletta, this is where Oliver Reed had his final drink during the filming of Gladiator. Dave was the first to arrive around 6p.m. Mike and David arrived about half an hour later, with Rupert and Steve joining them at around 7p.m.
't Poatersgat
One of the Yorkshire pubs of 20 Bruges, it is housed in a cellar.
A basement bar in Pest. The Colonel's Regiment had their first night meal there and returned for the Stammtisch. Dave went off to dick around from the Christmas market and arrived first. Steve and Mike joined him about 20 minutes later with David and Rupert arriving around 30 minutes after that.
Portas do Sol
A bar on a hill near the castle with views over the Tagus. The Colonel's Regiment played Schweinere there on the second night and returned for the Stammtisch. Dave and Chris arrived first, with Rupert and David joining them 5 minutes later having walked up the hill to avoid the riot at Rossio. Mike and Steve got held up waiting for a tram because of the riot, and arrived about 5 minutes after that.
Huks Fluks
The bar, not the map, in Copenhagen. It shares a square with Restaurant Peder Oxe and Budget Peder Oxe. The Colonel's Regiment drank in Huks Fluks on all the evenings of mission 23, playing Pete Gibbon's Schweinere tournament there and returning for the stammtisch. David and Mike arrived first just after 5p.m. Rupert and Dave took advantage of wine hour in the hotel and arrived about an hour later.
't Gouden Mandeken
A bar in Ghent by the river. The Colonel's Regiment had a drink there on day two and returned there for the stammtisch. Mike arrived first at around 6.00p.m. with David and Rupert arriving about 30 minutes later. Dave and Steve then joined about 15 minutes afterwards.
Drei Mohren
Is a bar/restaurant on the main drag (yes, that was the main drag) in Partenkirchen. The Colonel's regiment had a drink there on the first night, meeting future Linton, a meal there on the second night and returned for the stammtisch on the final night. Steve and Mike arrived first at around 6.15p.m., with David and Rupert joining them about 5 minutes later.

What You Need to Know About pH
www.mindbodygreen.com/0-3400/What-Yo u- Need-to-Know-About-pH.html Remember high school science class? Well, if you dont, heres a little refresher course. The body maintains a delicate pH balance. Technically, pH is a measure of the hydrogen ion concentration in solution. Wha? Dont worry I wont get too technical. For now all you really need to know is that the pH scale runs from 0-14. Neutral pH is 7.0. The higher the pH (greater than 7) the more alkaline, while a pH lower than 7 is acidic. Proper pH varies throughout your body. Saliva ranges between 6.8-7.4 while your urine is normally more acid, especially in the morning due to the metabolic process of preparing for elimination. Health hint: when using pH strips to test your urine ignore the first morning pee reading start with your next bathroom visit. By far the most important measurement is blood pH and it has a very narrow range. An understanding of how to keep your blood in an alkaline range is important for maintaining good health. Your body doesnt just find the balance it works extremely hard to create it. When you make poor lifestyle choices or are burdened by a toxic environment, your body has to work harder to create a peaceful homeostasis. For good health our bodies need to be slightly alkaline (with a pH of between 7.365 and 7.45). Sounds simple right? But this is not mathematical scaled based on arithmetic, pH operates on a logarithmic scale with multiples of 10. Therefore, it takes ten times the amount of alkalinity to neutralize an acid. I wish I was a graph wizz, Im not, so heres my very basic attempt at explaining this 0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12-13-14 (The pH Scale neutral is 7) A jump from 7 to 6 doesnt seem like a lot but in actuality it will take ten times the amount of alkalinity to neutralize. 7 to 5 = 100 times. 7 to 4 = 1000 times. 7 to 3 = 10,000 times. Get the picture? Now think of the standard American diet. Most folks are bathing their cells in an acid bath by making poor 3 or more times per day with coffee, dairy, sugar, more coffee, more dairy , then factory farmed meat, and then maybe even some frozen yogurt for dessert (aka frozen chemicals). One of the biggest causalities of the SADstandard American dietis the toll it takes on the body, especially the digestive system, liver, and kidneys. Inflammation, allergies, arthritis, skin problems, mood disorders, depression, constipation, bowel issues, stress (physical & mental) and chronic disease LOVE this diet. By eating a more alkaline diet (leafy greens, wheatgrass, veggies, sprouts, avocados, juicing, green smoothies, soups) as opposed to an acidic diet (high in animal products, processed carbs, refined sugar, and booze, cigs and coffee), we flood our bodies with chlorophyll, enzymes, vitamins, minerals, and oxygen. Healthy food creates healthy cells and healthy thoughts. Conversely, junk goes in and junk comes out. Look at your plate, peek in your glass. What direction are you moving in? On the pH scale, Soda = 2. Coffee = 4. Cucumber = 7. Get the picture? Burger, fries, diet cola, muffin, candy bar? Acid bath! Green drinks, salads, sprouts, wheatgrass? Alkaline super disco! Your goal is to make energy deposits instead of constant withdrawals.

15 Reasons to Use Apple Cider Vinegar Every Day
www.mindbodygreen.com/0-5875/15-Reas on s-to-Use-Apple-Cider-Vinegar-Every-DR>ay.html Apple cider vinegar is my new obsession. I recently began taking apple cider vinegar shots a few times a day for a quick and effective energy burst. However, I've since discovered so many other useful ways to incorporate apple cider vinegar (ACV) into my daily routine. It's effective for pretty much anythingyour skin, your hair, your house, and even your pets can benefit from its qualities. Raw, organic, unfiltered and unpasteurized, apple cider vinegar is so much more than a salad dressing! 1. Apple cider vinegar can detoxify your home. It's made from apple juice and is fermented to hard apple cider. It's then fermented a second time to become apple cider vinegar. By using ACV in lieu of other products, we instantly decrease the consumption of unnatural chemicals in our homes and daily lives. 2. It can make your hair shine. Apple cider vinegar can be used as a rinse for your hair after shampooing, and will boost your hair's body and shine. I recommend recycling an old shampoo bottle, then filling it with 1/2 a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and a cup of cold water. Pour the solution through your hair after shampooing several times a week for dramatic results. 3. Natural apple cider vinegar regulates the pH of your skin. Dilute ACV with two parts water, and spread the concoction over your face with a cotton ball to replace your current toner. You can do this at night after washing, and in the morning before you apply your moisturizer. A dab of apple cider vinegar can also be left on the skin overnight to fade age spots or acne scars. It's also a recommended agent for warts. For warts, soak a cotton ball in apple cider vinegar, then fasten the cotton ball over the wart with a Band-Aid overnight. The skin may swell some as it reacts with the solution. However, the wart will fall off. Once it falls off, the treatment should be continued for a few more days, to make sure the wart doesn't return. 4. It can remove stains from teeth. Rub teeth directly with apple cider vinegar, and rinse with water. 5. It can soothe sunburnt skin. Add a cup of apple cider vinegar to your bath, and soak for 10 minutes to eliminate discomfort from sunburn. 6. Apple cider vinegar can be used as a natural aftershave. Fill a bottle with equal parts apple cider vinegar and water, and shake before applying to the face. 7. It's an all-natural massage treatment. Rubbing apple cider vinegar on your hands and feet will give massage-like benefits and relief to tired hands and feet. 8. Apple cider vinegar can aid in weight loss. For daily weight management, add 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar to 16 ounces of water. This concoction can be sipped throughout the day. Data shows some limited, yet significant, weight loss benefits from sustained daily intake of acetic acid (which is a main ingredient in apple cider vinegar). In a 2009 study published in Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, it was found that subjects that consumed acetic acid for 12 weeks experienced significant declines in body weight, abdominal fat, waist circumference and triglycerides. Triglycerides contribute to the bad cholesterol that we want to avoid. 9. Apple cider vinegar will balance your entire inner body system. The body constantly strives to achieve a state of equilibrium. Apple cider vinegar helps the body maintain a healthy alkaline pH level. Research shows that higher acid levels (lower pH level) leads to a lack of energy and higher incidences of infection. Hence, my desire to sip some a few times a day for a natural boost of energy. 10. It can help you detox. As part of balancing the body's pH, apple cider vinegar creates an overall detoxification of the body. Research shows that it can help stimulate cardiovascular circulation and help detoxify the liver. 11. ACV is great for your lymphatic system. This miracle vinegar helps to break up mucous throughout the body and cleanse the lymph nodes. Believe it or not, research suggests that apple cider vinegar can help with allergies because of its ability to reduce mucous and sinus congestion. When reducing the effects of allergies, it can also help stave off sinus infections and their related symptoms, such as sore throats and headaches. 12. It can help your body get rid of candida. This vinegar is rich in natural enzymes that can help rid your body of candidayeasts that are attributed to thrush in humans. Candida also is blamed for creating symptoms of fatigue, poor memory, sugar cravings, and yeast infections. 13. ACV can help you reduce heartburn. Though it might seem like an oxymoron to treat stomach acid with an acid-containing vinegar, there is research suggesting that apple cider vinegar works by correcting low acid, hence reducing heartburn. Natural remedy experts say you should begin to feel relief very shortly after taking a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar followed by a glass of water. Note that apple cider vinegar will not give relief if you have an ulcer. 14. The use of apple cider vinegar is effective in repelling fleas on your pets. One part vinegar and one part water can be sprayed on your pets fur and rubbed in generously to the skin. Saturate the entire coat, and continue every day for a few days to a week. Any flea infestation will surely be gone. 15. It's an all-natural room freshener. Apple cider vinegar will clean your toilets and leave your bathroom smelling like apples! Just pour apple cider vinegar into the toilet, and allow it to sit overnight. It can also be used in dishwashers as a substitute for dish detergent. Mix 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar with 1 cup water, and you can use this solution to clean microwaves, kitchen surfaces, windows, glasses and mirrors, too. As you can see, apple cider vinegar is a miracle product that cab be used in a multitude of ways. I highly recommend its use! Sara

After reading this, youll never look at a banana in the same way again..
www.undergroundhealth.com/after-read in g-this-youll-never-look-at-a-banana-R>in-the-same-way-again/ By Sina Anvari Karenstan.net This is interesting. After reading this, youll never look at a banana in the same way again. Bananas contain three natural sugars sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy. Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the worlds leading athletes. bananastages But energy isnt the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet. DEPRESSION: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier. PMS: Forget the pills eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood. ANEMIA: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia. BLOOD PRESSURE: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruits ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke. BRAIN POWER: 200 students at a Twickenham school ( England ) were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert. CONSTIPATION: High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives. HANGOVERS: One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system. HEARTBURN: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief. MORNING SICKNESS: Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness. MOSQUITO BITES: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation. NERVES: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.. Overweight and at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and chips. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady. ULCERS: The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chroniclercases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach. TEMPERATURE CONTROL: Many other cultures see bananas as a cooling fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand , for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature. So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has FOUR TIMES the protein, TWICE the carbohydrate, THREE TIMES the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals.. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, A BANANA a day keeps the doctor away! Sara

Want to Reduce Your Sodium Intake?
The U.S. Dietary Guidelines for daily sodium intake are 2,300 mg for adults under 50; 1,500 mg for adults between 50 and 70; and 1,200 for those over the age of 70. Americans typically consume from three to five times these amounts. Leave the table salt (which has 2,300 mg of sodium in one teaspoon) on the table and try the following steps to help keep your levels within range: Use sea salt or kosher salt for cooking. Sea salt has more minerals - displacing some of the sodium - and its complex, nuanced flavor means you can use less. Similarly, kosher salt has 25 percent less sodium than table salt. Avoid visibly salted foods, especially snack foods. Rinse canned foods packed in saltwater such as beans, vegetables and tuna, all of which can have high amounts of sodium. Limit foods that are cured, brined or marinated, as all can add a hefty dose of sodium. Use alternatives. Herbs, sodium-free spices, vinegars, lemon and lime juice, and toasted sesame seeds all add flavor without the high sodium count. -Dr Weil Sara

Every grain starts as a whole grain when it grows from the earth. This whole grain (actually the seed or kernel of the plant) has three parts: the bran, the germ and the endosperm. The BRAN is the outer skin of the seed that contains antioxidants, B vitamins and fiber. (You may have heard of wheat bran or oat bran, which are available in stores and are common ingredients in certain cereals.) The GERM is the baby of the seed, which grows into a new plant when pollinated. It contains many vitamins, along with protein, minerals and healthy fats. (You may have seen jars of toasted wheat germ in stores, which can be added to a variety of foods to boost nutritional content.) The ENDOSPERM is the seeds food supply that provides the energy needed for the young plant to grow. The largest portion of the seed contains carbohydrates, and smaller amounts of protein, vitamins and minerals. So a whole grain is one that contains all three parts of the kernel. When grains are processed and refined (the most common practice for making breads, cereals, pastas and flours), the bran and germ are removed, leaving behind the white endosperm. During this process, grains become less nutritious, losing 25% of their original protein content and 17 other essential nutrients. While manufacturers then "enrich" the flour with some vitamins and minerals, a naturally whole grain is still a healthier choice. Compared to refined grains (white bread, white rice, white flour), whole grains pack more protein, fiber, vitamins (B vitamins and vitamin E), and minerals (magnesium and iron), as well as some antioxidants not found in other foods. -Taken from a SP article Edited by: SARASMILING at: 10/10/2013 (05:57) Sara

Looking for a Sustained Energy Boost?
Feeling run-down and stressed-out? Does it seem you always catch whatever is going around? You may want to consider taking a daily tonic. Also known as adaptogens, these nontoxic, plant-based substances help to bolster your body's natural defenses and increase its ability to cope with normal daily stress. When taken long term, tonics may help support energy and maintain normal, healthy immunity. Popular tonics include: 1. Ashwagandha. This traditional herb (Withania somnifera) from India is much used in ayurvedic medicine, where it is valued as a general tonic and adaptogen. 2. Eleuthero. Formerly called Siberian ginseng, eleuthero (Eleutherococcus senticosus) is a distant relative of true ginseng. It can be useful for alleviating exhaustion, fatigue from heavy workloads and lack of energy. Look for products that are standardized for eleutheroside content. 3. Reishi. This distinctive, woody mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum) is too bitter for culinary use, but can be taken in supplement form. Reishi is recommended in traditional Chinese medicine for increasing resistance and extending life, and has been studied for its ability to support normal immune health. 4. Rhodiola. Also known as arctic root, rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea) contains a group of distinctive compounds that are at least partially responsible for the plant's remarkable properties - including anti-fatigue, anti-stress, antioxidant and immune-supporting effects. It is useful for acute stress, to support optimal mood and for memory health. You should be able to find all these herbal products in health food stores - choose the one that best meets your needs, follow package directions, and give it about six to eight weeks to see how it helps. You can take tonics indefinitely, but some herbalists suggest taking a two-week-long break every three months to help maintain the tonic's effectiveness. If you have hypertension or diabetes, talk with your physican before adding these herbs to your routine. -Dr Weil Sara

Eating for a Healthy Immune System
If you want to help support a healthy immune system, be sure your diet includes plenty of natural vitamin C. This powerful antioxidant plays a central role in the repair and regeneration of tissues, and helps protect cells throughout the body. Good food sources of vitamin C that are abundant and can be enjoyed all year long include: Broccoli Cantaloupe Kiwi Oranges Peppers Pineapple Pink grapefruit Strawberries Be sure to err on the side of organic forms of these foods, as several are on the Dirty Dozen list. Although supplemental vitamin C is available in many forms, Dr. Weil suggests using a simple vitamin C supplement derived from D-glucose, taken with a meal to prevent stomach upset. -from Dr Weil Sara

4 Reasons to Eat Quinoa
If you've been hearing more about quinoa lately, it's not a surprise. Considered a "super food," quinoa, (pronounced KEEN-wah) is a relative of beets, spinach and Swiss chard, but its seeds resemble couscous and are prepared and eaten in much the same way. Available in light brown, red and even black varieties, quinoa is light yet filling and has a mellow flavor. Quinoa is: 1.High in magnesium - magnesium helps relax blood vessels, which may result in fewer headaches for migraine sufferers and decreased risk of hypertension and stroke. 2.A good source of manganese, iron, copper, phosphorous, vitamin B2 and other essential minerals. 3.The richest source of protein of any grain. It is especially high in lysine, an amino acid that is typically low in other grains. Quinoa's protein is complete, containing all nine essential amino acids - a rarity in the plant kingdom. 4.Gluten-free and easy to digest. Once available only in health food stores, quinoa is becoming more mainstream by the day and is easily found in major grocery stores as well. Sara

4 Reasons to Enjoy Corn on the Cob!
Corn on the cob is a traditional summertime treat that can add some nutritional value to typically less-than-healthful BBQ fare. Corn has been cultivated for centuries and remains a staple in many parts of the world. A good source of vitamins B1, B5 and C, whole corn also provides many other valuable nutrients, including: Fiber for gastrointestinal function and weight control. Folate, which can help reduce the risk of birth defects and promote heart health. Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid), vital to healthy adrenal function. Lutein for healthy vision. When choosing corn, opt for ears with yellow or deep yellow kernels - they are higher in beta-carotene than pale yellow or white kernel corn. Try corn on the cob grilled or steamed, with the husk left on during the cooking process to help retain the most nutrients. Brush it with some olive oil for a healthy and tasty summertime side! Sara

I totally agree with the lemon water thing! In my experience I have noticed a major difference in my skin and I just feel better and fuller after all. I also like fruit smoothies. Low fat strawberry yogurt, bananas, strawberries, and just a bit of a dash of crystal lite lemonade mix, and you have a delicious drink to start your day, plus they fill you up and are healthy at the same time.

I swapped from 2% milk to skim milk. I feel so much better since I swapped the milk I was having before for a better tasting,healthier one I can have daily.
I swapped from Soy milk to Almond milk. Not only did I read that too much soy can be bad for you, but I also save 30 calories per serving! I have at least 2 servings a day, so I'm saving at least 60 calories a day! And cutting down on my soy! :)

Clips' Cassell says he's unhappy with losing, but not seeking buyout
LOS ANGELES -- While Sam Cassell acknowledges he's unhappy the Los Angeles Clippers are losing, the veteran point guard made it clear Thursday he's not lobbying to play elsewhere.
The Boston Globe reported Cassell was trying to buy out his contract so he could play for the Eastern Conference-leading Celtics. Cassell, averaging 13.1 points and a team-leading 4.5 assists in 34 games, is earning $6.1 million this season -- the final year of his contract.
"There's no truth to it," Cassell said by telephone from Toronto, where the Clippers play Friday night. "I never said I wanted to buy out my contract. There have been no negotiations, the team hasn't come to me about that, I have not gone to them about that."
The 38-year-old Cassell had 10 points and three assists in the Clippers' 111-100 loss to the Celtics in Boston on Wednesday night.
"They misquoted me drastically," Cassell said of the report. "It's just not right for my teammates to hear I'd be a perfect fit in Boston."
The Globe said late Thursday night all the Cassell quotes were accurate.
Cassell referred to television coverage of the published report.
"That's not what I said," Cassell said. "The reporter said I'd be a perfect fit in Boston. I'm still a member of the Los Angeles Clippers and I want to win as many games as possible with the Clippers. I'm not happy that we're losing, but I have a lot of good teammates on this ballclub that I really enjoy being around."
Mark J. Spears, the Globe reporter who quoted Cassell, said "I stand by my story. I have the entire interview on tape and after talking to me on Wednesday morning, he was quoted saying similar things to other Boston media outlets."
Cassell said he'd probably like to play one more season before retiring.
Cassell, a member of NBA championship teams in Houston in 1994-95, has said on several occasions he'd like to go into coaching when his playing career is over.
The Clippers (15-31) have played without injured star forward Elton Brand and outstanding young point guard Shaun Livingston all season because of injuries. They hope to get both back before season's end, but it's a virtual certainty that won't be enough to help them contend for a playoff berth because of the outstanding competition in the Western Conference.
With Brand and Cassell leading the way, the Clippers beat Denver in the first round of the 2006 playoffs before losing to Phoenix in the second round. They were eliminated from playoff contention on the final day last season.

Narration at the end of the Episode:
Once upon a time a man died. The last story that the man had spun should have ended in extraordinary tragedy. However, the story turned out to have a happy ending. The reason for that ending was one little duck the man himself called into the story. And so, a man started to write a story. That story, overflowing with hope had just begun.
Introduction to the Episode:
Once upon a time a man died. The man tried to continue spinning stories after his death but he couldn't seem to get his stories to develop. The man grinned broadly and called a duck into his story. The little duck tried her best for the prince and eventually surpassed her role as a duck developing an intricate love for the prince. However, as a mere duck she was destined to disappear in a flash of light. Yes. That was the fate that had been decided for her in the story the tearful conclusion.
Fakir: (Writing of Ahiru's pain and perseverance) Her small body was so badly injured that she couldn't even stand. But...To lead the Prince, and all of the people to a happy ending...Regardless of her pain, without losing hope, she continued dancing!
Fakir: (About Ahiru, writing her story) It's true that her dance was not as beautiful as Princess Tutu's. However, in the hearts of all who saw it, something that felt like a warming light, streamed into them with a feeling of reassurance!

Wood sculptures – a timeless art
In Bardonecchia, like many other villages of the Upper Valle Susa, woodwork and stonework are both very much part of the mountain tradition dating back to the past. For centuries people have worked with great skill using these two materials, and in particular, wood, and nowadays many of these artworks are on display in churches, monuments and buildings.
The art of wood sculpting dates back to the famous School of Melezet in Bardonecchia and in 1981, for the first time in Italy, a wood sculpting competition was held.
The competition has evolved into an international event called "Sculpture in the Alps" and takes place every July with sculptors coming from all over the world.
Not to be missed
Permanent Exhibition of Wood Sculptures – The Canal Walk. For the last few years there has been a permanent exhibition of Wood Sculptures along the Canal Walk which have been sculpted over several years at the annual Symposium. After each Symposium several works are chosen to remain as part of the permanent exhibition and so each year there are new exhibits to be seen.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
A pre-determined overhead rate is the rate used to apply manufacturing overhead to work-in-process inventory. The pre-determined overhead rate is calculated before the period begins. The first step is to estimate the amount of the activity base that will be required to support operations in the upcoming period. The second step is to estimate the total manufacturing cost at that level of activity. The third step is to compute the predetermined overhead rate by dividing the estimated total manufacturing overhead costs by the estimated total amount of cost driver or activity base. Common activity bases used in the calculation include direct labor costs, direct labor hours, or machine hours.
This is related to an activity rate which is a similar calculation used in Activity-based costing. A pre-determined overhead rate is normally the term when using a single, plant-wide base to calculate and apply overhead. Overhead is then applied by multiplying the pre-determined overhead rate by the actual driver units. Any difference between applied overhead and the amount of overhead actually incurred is called over- or under-applied overhead.
Instead of using a pre-determined rate based on estimates, why not base the overhead rate on the actual total manufacturing overhead cost and the actual total amount of the activity base incurred on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis? If an actual rate is computed monthly or quarterly, seasonal factors in overhead costs or in the activity base can produce fluctuations in the overhead rate. For example, the costs of heating and cooling a factory in Illinois will be highest in the winter and summer months and lowest in the spring and fall. If the overhead rate is recomputed at the end of each month or each quarter based on actual costs and activity, the overhead rate would go up in the winter and summer and down in the spring and fall. As a result, two identical jobs, one completed in the winter and one completed in the spring, would be assigned different manufacturing overhead costs. Many managers believe that such fluctuations in product costs serve no useful purpose. To avoid such fluctuations, actual overhead rates could be computed on an annual or less-frequent basis. However, if the overhead rate is computed annually based on the actual costs and activity for the year, the manufacturing overhead assigned to any particular job would not be known until the end of the year. For example, the cost of Job 2B47 at Yost Precision Machining would not be known until the end of the year, even though the job will be completed and shipped to the customer in March. For these reasons, most companies use predetermined overhead rates rather than actual overhead rates in their cost accounting systems.
The use of such a rate enables an enterprise to determine the approximate total cost of each job when completed. In recent years increased automation in manufacturing operations has resulted in a trend towards machine hours as the activity base in the calculation.
To find the overhead rate, first determine the right basis that will describe the best the behavior of the cost. Then, divide the total budgeted overhead by the basis to calculate the overhead rate:
Overhead Rate = (Total budgeted overhead / Basis)
There are many ways that can be used to determine the right basis for a given order. These bases are:
In order to find the overhead rate we will use the same basis that we have chosen by multiplying this basis by the calculated rate. For example, if we choose the labor hours to be the basis then we will multiply the rate by the direct labor hours in each task during the manufacturing process.
The share of the order of the overhead = Overhead Rate * Resources consumed

text: Media Amazon tells Hachette authors it'll give them 100% of e-book sales Image Credit: alexanderpf/Flickr July 8, 2014 2:04 PM Tom Cheredar Gaming execs: Join 180 select leaders from King, Glu, Rovio, Unity, Facebook, and more to plan your path to global domination in 2015.

Amazon is trying to make a lucrative deal with authors affected by the ongoing fight between the online retailer and major book publisher, Hachette. How good of a deal? How about 100 percent of the revenue from all Hachette-published e- book sales — at least for the duration of the Amazon/Hachette fight.

The offer is similar to one the company initially made to Hachette after the book publisher complained that the Amazon fight was really hurting authors by preventing them from collecting larger royalty checks. Amazon previously started punishing Hachette after both parties failed to reach a new, more lucrative contract agreement back in April. The move led Amazon to stop offering preorders or discounts on Hachette books as well as yanking all the publisher's books from product recommendations on its website.

However, we also don't know how the terms of this temporary deal work either — specifically, if it applies to all authors, or if individual authors can agree to the deal. We're reaching out to Amazon for more details, and will update this post with any new information. More information: Amazon Amazon.com, Inc.
