OAuth is an incredibly popular internet standard for granting apps and web services access to the information available on other websites. Though the implementation is complex, the premise is simple: you tell a website you want to access its data, you log in with the user's details, and off you go — but without some kind of protocol the process would be a whole lot more complicated.

text: When we first decided to adopt Oli from the Humane Society, we knew our little Carolina Dog/American Dingo had a sweet, submissive personality. We also knew we had some work to do. She was smart, wanted to please, and knew several tricks, but had no "manners" when walking on-leash. She showed high anxiety in unfamiliar places, around other people and completely lacked impulse control with every deer, rabbit and squirrel she saw. Most dramatically, Oli turned into Cujo when she saw another dog even at a distance. With some online research, a book or two, and a bit of patience, we trained Oli to walk nicely on-leash within about 3-4 months of having her in our home, and managed a lot of her impulse-control issues. We made a lot of progress—but we hit a plateau with Oli's dog-aversion issues. She was simply unruly around other dogs. We decided we needed help and began the search for a trainer, and we had Oli nearly a year before we found Robert, the Durham Dog Wizard. We can't say it was easy, but after six months we now have a dog that we trust both on- and off-leash, and miraculously she can meet and interact with other dogs politely. Most importantly, we can say without question that Oli is a happier dog—she's less anxious, plays a lot more, and is calmer overall. Finding Robert helped us enjoy the playful, outdoorsy life we envisioned having with our dog. Oli's a great dog, and we're so grateful Robert continues to help us bring out the best of her personality. Our only regret is that we didn't have Robert's guidance from the very beginning.

Clear targets, flexible opportunities and equality of treatment are major keys for non-profit organisations seeking to excel in the engagement and management of volunteers.
Match this with an awareness of the increasing role of social networking in volunteer recruitment, the differing motivations of volunteers and the rise of corporate volunteering, and an organisation can aspire to a large, healthy volunteer workforce.
And if you think hard economic times will reduce volunteerism, think again. It may just lead to an increase as people give their 'talent and time' in place of their 'treasure'.
Volunteering Australia chief executive officer, Cary Pedicini, as spokesperson for Australia's peak volunteering organisation, is a passionate yet practical advocate of the role of volunteers in Australian society.
"Organisations that are most successful are those that clearly target what they want volunteers for, they will look for specialist skills or types of volunteers that they want rather than advertising generally, Mr Pedicini said.
"Typically, a lot of effort goes into recruiting and inducting volunteers, recognising, rewarding, and up-skilling. Also, understanding that the motivation of volunteers varies considerably is important."
Mr Pedicini said many volunteers are purely altruistic in motivation and are seeking to make life better for others.

Man Walks Across the Country to Raise Awareness
COLUMBIA - Barrett Keene made a stop in Boonville today as part of his walk across the country to raise awareness for orphans in America.
Keene, a retired Florida teacher and current PhD student, will walk 18 miles today with his friend from Skokie, Ill. reaching a total of 1500 miles by the end of the day. Keene also founded the organization Go Walk America to help people become aware of the realities that 145 million children are either orphaned or abandoned in America.
"I started out this morning at 1482 from Miami, Florida, through Atlanta, Nashville, St. Louis, all the way to here in Boonville, Missouri," Keene said.
Legacychamp.com is sponsoring the Go Walk America Founder. Keene wants to encourage people to get involved specifically through the Global Orphan Project which is based in Kansas City, Missouri.
"We're encouraging people to sponsor school uniforms which creates jobs for parents to sew the uniforms, provides the uniforms that children need to have, what they need to go to school and it funds orphan care," Keene said.
Keene has worked with children in Brazil, Haiti, Guatemala, Panama, and Costa Rica with the Global Orphan Project. They provide care for orphans in 15 countries and they are starting work in statewide.
"Our walk is benefiting the Global Orphan Project and every one of the school uniforms that gets donated is actually sewn in a GO project sewing center in that same local community," Keene said. "The uniforms are provided to orphans and children that are living in rags in the community that has to have these school uniforms to go to school. We've been blessed to be able to sponsor almost 1100 uniforms for children in Haiti and Uganda."
If you are interested in volunteering, you can go to the Global Orphan Project's website or "go to gowalkamerica.org, join the 350,000 mile challenge, and donate a school uniform and half of the money goes to provide food, shelter, and care for orphans in 15 countries," Keene said.

Technical Paper
Development of Autonomous Vehicle Controller
Autonomous driving is looked upon as solution for future of automotive vehicles. The technology has tremendous possibilities to improve safety, fuel economy, comfort, cost of ownership etc. The project to develop an autonomous controller from scratch was undertaken, with objective to drive under selected test scenarios. The car, modified to drive using this autonomous controller, is able to handle these scenarios. The key scenarios include ability to successfully drive on tracks with well-marked lanes, Follow the route as per selected trip plan file, recognize and follow all traffic road signs, traffic signals en-route, identify other vehicles on the road or pedestrians in the lane and take the appropriate action. The development was carried out using frugal engineering approach. As the Autonomous Vehicle technology is still under development, the standard proven published approaches are not available.

Elizabeth Martinez has worked at the Hilton in Long Beach, Calif., for 11 years. She said her job used to be "really a pleasure," but when HEI Hotels and Resorts bought the hotel four years ago, they laid off many workers and stretched the remaining staff thin.
Now workers scramble to complete the work of multiple people, she said, sometimes working unpaid during their lunch breaks so they can finish on time.
"I'm working by myself a lot of times," said Martinez, who waits tables at the hotel restaurant for minimum wage. "I'm basically running to get the job done."
As part of the Brown Student Labor Alliance's campaign to raise awareness of HEI's mistreatment of its workers, Martinez told her story to a moderate turnout of students and community members Monday night in MacMillan 115.
Over the past week, the SLA has flooded the campus with posters and set up tables on the Main Green to inform students about the treatment of workers in HEI-owned hotels. On Monday, they hauled two mattresses with sheets and pillows onto the Main Green and invited passers-by to try making the beds to demonstrate the physical toll of changing the sheets of even one bed.
HEI denies the claims of worker mistreatment. "The accusations presented are wholly unfounded and we have received no formal complaints – either from associates or the National Labor Relations Board," HEI's public relations office wrote in an e-mail to The Herald. "We in fact have a very positive relationship with our associates at the Hilton Long Beach, as evidenced by the very low associate turnover rate at the hotel compared with industry averages."
SLA member Lily Axelrod '09 disagreed. "There have been complaints. Perhaps not through the National Labor Relations Board, but as a lot of people know, the National Labor Relations Board, especially under the Bush administration, is generally not very sympathetic to claims from low-wage workers."
She said the NLRB often takes too long to investigate claims of workers' rights violations, if it follows up on them at all.
Though the University has not disclosed whether it has invested in HEI – the fastest-growing hotel management company in the United States – the SLA hopes to encourage the administration to use its leverage as a current or potential investor to pressure the company to improve its working conditions.
HEI "receive(s) almost all their investment from university endowments," SLA's Will Emmons '09 said to the crowd on Monday night. "Brown keeps all of its investments a secret. We fit the profile of a school that would be invested in HEI."
Emmons added that even if the University has not invested, it is still in a good position to pressure the company to change its business practices.
"HEI is very proud of their Ivy League investors," Becky Fish '09, a member of SLA, told The Herald. Because Brown is the type of investor that HEI courts, the University could send a powerful statement to the company by refusing to invest unless HEI improves workers' conditions and allows them to unionize, Fish said.
Over a month ago, the SLA contacted Sandra Seibel, director of Investment Office operations, to find out whether Brown has invested in HEI. She directed them to the Advisory Committee on Corporate Responsibility in Investment Policies. SLA members said they have not received a response from ACCRIP.
Tuesday morning a group of SLA members along with Martinez went to the Investment Office to speak about HEI and ask again whether Brown is invested in the company. They did not receive a response but plan to continue pursuing a dialogue with the Investment Office and with ACCRIP, Fish said.
The owners of HEI "aren't out to have a really great hotel. They're in it to have high returns," said Sarah Roberts, a Swarthmore graduate and a research analyst for Unite Here – a union representing unorganized workers in a variety of industries across the country. She said HEI buys hotels with the intention of selling them for a profit after about 10 years. In the meantime, they minimize business costs by cutting staff, hours, benefits and supplies.
Jess Petitt, HEI Corporate Director of Communications, would not comment on whether HEI often downsizes its staff when its buys a hotel but said that the company has no official downsizing policy.
SLA member Lenora Knowles '11 said she first learned about the working conditions in HEI-owned hotels during the Hotel Workers Rise Up internship with Unite Here, when she worked with employees at the Long Beach Hilton. The movement to raise awareness about HEI is relatively new, she said, but is being spread by students at campuses such as Harvard, Yale and the University of Pennsylvania.
"We want to know where our money's going and that it's invested in responsible companies," Knowles said.
Though Martinez's hotel is not unionized, she and other hotel workers are meeting with organizers from the local chapter of Unite Here to learn about their rights as workers. They hope to convince the hotel to allow them to unionize in order to improve their working conditions, she said.
Martinez told The Herald she is committed to fighting for more workers' rights, but worries about her job security. "I'm very afraid," she said. "I'm here, I go to marches, I go to delegations, and my voice is always shaking, thinking, 'They're going to fire me.' I need to have a voice and tell to you now, this is not right."

y u gotta discriminate against big booties suitsupply?
y u gotta discriminate against big booties suitsupply?
I've actually never heard of someone letting out the thighs of a pair of trousers, and I'm assuming most trousers are not designed to allow such. This thread is like a broken record when it comes to the one complaint I've heard about SuitSupply. These overly slim trousers have deterred me from getting any of their suits. I don't know why they continue to produce them so slim when it seems to be a prevalent problem. I'm pretty skinny and even I wouldn't want the kinds of trousers I've heard about with SuSu. Spier and Mackay Contemporary Fit trousers are more than slim enough for me.
I don't know what you guys are talking about. I love that my SuSu suit pants only just barely fits. Whenever I want to skip leg day I just point to my pants and say I don't want them to stop fitting. You are ignoring the serious upsides here
I had a better experience letting out the thighs/seat of a SS Napoli than S&M Contemporary fit using the same local tailor. I even got a 46R suit with 36 W pants to allow for the least amount of tailoring, but the pants fit oddly in the waist still. I also have to work to roll the pants up over my calves in both suits.
My kingdom for more classic fit pants with a slimmer/athletic cut jacket...this is why I've resorted to doing BB Suiting Essentials where you can get a Regent fit jacket with Madison fit pants or whatever mix and match you want.
(Full disclosure, I have not tried their trousers.)
I own a SS York (or London for those across the pond). No issues with the trousers. I also own a BB Milano and would say that these require my phone and keys to go in my suit jacket. . For reference, I am a 38s in the former and 40s in the latter. I am 5'8" and 175lbs(currently), medium build.
I was about to post something about this today.
Today, I went to wear my SuitSupply Lazio, which I got for my wedding in May 2015. I've only worn it a handful of times since, as I like to save it for special occasions. But today I was going to wear it when I noticed that there is already some wear in the crotch. I had always thought that the suit fits fine, as I'm relatively slim, but now I'm not sure. I can't understand why there's wear in the crotch after wearing it only about five times, and I've no idea how much more wear I'd get out of them before they wore through.
Are slim-fitting pants likely to wear through more quickly? Or is this likely just bad luck?
I haven't noticed it before but perhaps wool pants start showing wear early and then last a while longer, in the way that leather soles scuff up quickly but still last for a long time after that. I doubt that, but I don't know enough about it to say for sure.
My guess is that tight fitting pants would experience more wear from the inside and possibly more pull on the crotch. That has been my experience with jeans.
i love the look of my napoli navy pinstripe, but I wish I had done the alterations with a local tailor instead of in-store. Despite my voiced concern to the rep that I didn't want (and certainly don't have the physique for) "skinny" pants, I ended up with pants that were a good bit shorter and tighter than I would have liked. Tough pill to swallow when I think I spent $120 on their in-store tailoring to go with a $400 suit. I don't really know how fixable it is, so I still wear the suit...just not as much as I probably would if I was more comfortable with the fit.
I know this doesn't help the OP question at all, so sorry about that .
I got a Lazio linen in the January outlet and had similar problems. I have two prior Lazio suits in winter weight wool, so I expected the fit to be mostly similar, even though I figured the different materials might cause slight deviations. The differences were YUUUUUUUUGEEEE.
Pants: I couldn't even get them onto my calves because they were so tight. Took them to a tailor who let out an inch on each calf and the ankle; now I can get them on but they are skin tight on my calves and he can't let any more out. The pants are worthless to me but I can still wear the jacket as a blazer.
Jacket: the sleeves were a full inch shorter than my other Lazio suits. Tailor let them out 3/4 inch and can't do any more. Looks good enough, but weird that the sizes are so different in the same style suit.
Edit for update: emailed customer service to see if there was anything they could do to help (maybe a credit or something, considering I have 4 suits and multiple ties from them). Nope. Outlet is final sale, next time try them on first, etc. They were very nice but couldn't help. welp.

A new homeowner must consider two things when buying a home: the foundation and the roof. While having a solid foundation for your home is vital, having a properly installed roof deck to keep the wind, rain, and snow out of your home can be just as important. There are three types of roof decks to consider when building, remodeling, or repairing your new or used home: orientated strand board, plywood, and concrete.
Oriented Strand Board
Oriented Strand Board (OSB) has been one of the most common roof deck types since the late 1970s. As of 2006, nearly 60% of all new homes used the material for their roof deck. OSB is created with intertwining wood strands bonded together by a waterproof resin providing optimal waterproof and moisture resistance. The general cost of using OSB for your roof deck is less expensive than regular plywood. One common issue of OSB is that the material is susceptible to trapping in and storing moisture. If there is an area of the roof where water can get to the roof deck, such as a loose or damage shingle, moisture can penetrate the space causing mold and rotting. This damage could lead to large repair and replacement costs for the homeowner.
Plywood is another popular choice for roof deck construction. Because plywood is made with many sheets of interwoven wood, it provides a thickness to a roof deck reducing swelling, shrinking, and warping over time. Also, because plywood is dense, moisture is not allowed to soak into the wood causing rotting or damage to your home. Compared to OSB, plywood is just as strong and durable, but is less susceptible to rot and water build up.
Typically seen in larger commercial buildings, concrete is increasingly becoming popular for roof decking construction. It is often used in green buildings as an environmentally-friendly alternative to OSB and plywood. When considering concrete, homeowners must properly set the foundation and framing and ensure that their home is strong enough to handle the additional weight of the concrete.
When selecting the right roof deck for your home, consult a professional roofer such as Custom Installations. We have expertise in building sound roofing structures that will last for years to come. Protecting your investment, we can also ensure that you have the right roof deck installed for your climatic area and desired roofing material.

There have been huge advances in cordless phone technology over the last few decades. Once, calls could only be made right next to the phone line. Now, though, cordless phones can be used just about anywhere in the home or office. The cordless phones on the market today also include many features like built-in contact lists, high capacity answering machines, and full colour LCD screens, making them an all-in-one phone centre. But one problem cordless phones don't solve is that of professional-sounding hands-free communication. Sure, there are speakerphones on many models, but they don't work in noisy environments. Plus, no matter how great their quality may be, the transmitted audio does not have the same crispness and clarity. Bundling a cordless phone (or multiple cordless phones) with a wireless headset affords the best of both worlds: a top quality cordless phone with all of the features included, plus crystal clear hands-free audio performance.
The bundles you'll find at liGo include components made by such trusted brands as Siemens, Plantronics, Jabra, and others. Most models offer DECT audio technology for high-quality and professional sound. On the cordless phone component of the available bundles, you'll find features like contact lists that can hold 100 or more phone numbers, easy-to-use colour LCD displays, answering machines of varying capacities, and more.

Photographer Marianne Barta shared some of the details from Andrea & Scott's day:
Scott and Andrea are from Ohio and chose to have a destination wedding. They wanted a stress free day and away from Ohio's February weather. A more intimate wedding with close friends and family was also very important to them. Scott's family often visits Englewood, Florida so there was no question on where the wedding should be held. Despite a bit of wind the weather was absolutely gorgeous for a wedding. A short and sweet ceremony that followed a fun reception across the street at the Gulf View Grill finished the night off.
Andrea ordered and made all the reception decor. She had touches of blue and gold that was perfect for a beach wedding. Many of her ideas she found on Pinterest. I am also from Ohio and have met Scott and Andrea through mutual friends. When they asked me to photograph their wedding I was ecstatic. It was a true honor to photograph their destination wedding.
Please enjoy Andrea & Scott's wedding, beautifully captured by Black Box Photography:
I do love the sweet simplicity of Andrea and Scott's wedding. I like the sign at the entry to the ceremony stating "shoes optional", so relaxing and carefree, just the way they wanted.
The details in the reception are really sweet. I like the "take one" sign for the favors, and the "cards" sign using what looks like a wooden trunk, which does fit the beach theme. The slight touch of seashells works too, the overall theme looks simple and elegant-always a good rule to follow.
I can never get enough of sunset pics...these turned out gorgeous! For me I like seeing images a bride and groom walking away from the camera, hand in hand, towards the setting sun, it sends a message of there they go, off into the sunset, the start of their new life.
Our many thanks to Marianne at Black Box Photography for sending Andrea and Scott's wedding our way!

Mobile Tire Install
As an option for those who rather not take their car to a dealership or tire shop and wait, today I used a mobile tire installer associate with Tire Rack.
Given that the front suspension on our Miatas is quite sensitive to wheel weight and balance, Goodwin Racing recommends that you have your tires balanced using a Road Force Tire Balancer. Road force balancers, in addition to performing a traditional spin balance, measure both the wheel and tire by pressing a large roller against the tread of the spinning tire. The roller applies 1,200 to 1,400 pounds of pressure to simulate the weight of the vehicle on the tire as it rolls down the road.
There are not many places that have this machine typically your premium cars dealerships. According to Tire Rack, there were only a small number of installers using this machine. For any other car this is probably an overkill, but for a small extra cost I think its well worth it for the Miatas.
So, I ordered a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4S in 215/45 17″ size, the suggested limit for a the stock 7″ wide wheel. Tires were delivered to the MobileTireExperts.com in 2 days, Tire Rack even called up last week to ask if I would prefer delaying the order as Michelin was starting a $70 rebate this week (which dealer would tell you to wait on buying so you can get an additional $70 off?). This mobile installer was the highest rated installer in the area, but being skeptical, I called Tire Rack and confirm the company's quality installs and reviews.
Once delivered the mobile installer called me and set a next day appointment. As you can see from the photos, they did the work on my driveway. A peek inside the trailer shows all of the needed equipment. Everything was operated via a quiet generator. The tires were installed to my pressure specifications and hand torqued. They used care in manually removing my McGard lugnuts.
Overall very pleased, will use them from now on.

It isn't possible that the Federal government and the media would form such a close collusion that money would change hands to insure big-government policies among the masses, is it? Well, actually, it's becoming commonplace. Large sums of "donations" are now influencing "Obamacare-friendly" plot-lines of today's trash television.
The California Endowment … is spending millions to promote President Barack Obama's signature law, recently provided a $500,000 grant to ensure TV writers and producers have information about the Affordable Care Act that can be stitched into plot lines watched by millions.
An evil, tyrannical government mixed in with a liberal media which routinely hides the facts? Soviet Russia couldn't have done it better. Propaganda at it's finest.

If you have ever worked in any type of customer service job then you know nightmare clients or customers are inevitable! I however am a sucker for punishment as I love to work with people and have face to face interactions. With this come the bad, the terrible and the visions of yourself causing grievous bodily harm as you try to 'wooo saaa' through the situation.
With a work history of, retail, silver service, photography and makeup artistry I can safely say I know how to handle the 'Client from hell'. I am not one of those people who believe the customer is always right and that because you are being paid for a service you should just nod and smile. Nightmare clients come in a variety of types all who need to be dealt with differently.
The Superiority Complex.
This for me is the most common culprit. The client who believes that because they are paying it is their prerogative to treat you like crap. These guys require you to assert yourself. Be Assertive! Speak to them politely yet firm enough that they know you don't take shit.
If they continue gently remind them that they are receiving a service from you by choice. Remember to conduct yourself with composure and hold eye contact. Being assertive is not being a prick for the sake of it. Or a pain to work with!
The Backseat Driver.
These are the clients and customers who have watched one too many Youtube videos and Facebook posts. Which now apparently makes them qualified in the topic at hand? These range from customers who 'know' your store policies and procedures. To makeup clients asking why you don't apply a contour using fancy patterns and utensils.
You need to believe in yourself! Now that that's clear… You have to let them know that you are fully experienced in what you are doing. Even though listening to their theories on why they know what you should be doing is soul sucking, entertain it. Just briefly then offer them an each to their own kind of answer. You know the kinds beginning with 'Here we… ' 'Personally I…' 'I prefer…'
This goes down better then 'If you don't like it go somewhere else!' Even though that is what we are all thinking.
The Judge.
The person in the same trade as you. This can be the most annoying of all! Hairdressers, make-up artists, photographers you will encounter these guys. Someone who is fully capable of doing what they are coming to you for.
My approach with this lot is gently, gently. You have to make them feel comfortable but ensure you do not begin to doubt yourself. When up against your peers or even competition it is easy to start questioning your own method and ability. Don't! You got this.
These guys can quickly turn into backseat drivers, so be warned.
I'm so guilty of being a'Nightmare Client'. I am a photographer who can't be photographed. I turn into a major control freak and have little faith. This isn't because of doubting the person's ability, this is all on me. When you are so used to being on one side of the camera you easily forget how to be on the other. All the tips and tricks I give clients go out the window and I freeze. What makes it more irritating is I can't get out of my photographer head. I focus more on what they are doing than what I am doing. Resulting in 'awkward shots'.
I'm trying to get out of this by facing it head on and having more photoshoots. It's all good and well knowing your flaws but it doesn't stop there. We have to work on our own flaws, you can always be better!
Are you a nightmare or customer?
Have you or do you deal with nightmare clients?

A Chinese "slapping therapist" extradited to Australia and charged with the manslaughter of a six-year-old diabetic boy has been refused bail in a Sydney court.
Hong Chi Xiao, 54, is accused of having an influence on the boy's death by allegedly advising his parents to stop giving him medication during a south Sydney self-healing conference in 2015.
It's alleged that advice ultimately led to the boy's death.
The six-year-old, a type-1 diabetic, was found unconscious in a Hurstville hotel after his parents took him to the self-healing conference conducted by Xiao.
Ambulance paramedics attempted CPR but he couldn't be revived.
Court papers allege Xiao "did feloniously slay" the boy on the night of April 27, 2015.
The boy's 56-year-old father, 41-year-old mother and 64-year-old grandmother were arrested earlier this year and granted conditional bail after also being charged with manslaughter.
Xiao, a Chinese national and American citizen, arrived in Sydney on Thursday morning four months after he was arrested in London.
He appeared via audio-visual link at Central Local Court on Thursday afternoon where his lawyer applied for bail but it was formally refused by magistrate Les Mabbutt.
Xiao is due to return to court on October 24.

Bill Cunningham New York08 Jul 2016
One of the most interesting scenes in Bill Cunningham New York comes near the end. The film-makers, never shying away from difficult questions, ask Bill about his love life. Has he had partners? Is he gay? Has he ever been in love? Bill deflects the questions away, his modesty fully on display. "Where I grew up, you never talk about such things," he says. But in the middle of this scene, he also breaks down and cries to himself. The crying happens mid-sentence about his relationship with religion and god. But one can't help but wonder, if he's instead mourning a life lived without a loving companion.
It is well known that Bill was a formidable presence in the world of fashion, at the New York Times and in New York. His recent passing was one of the few times I felt a shroud of sadness around the company, the other was when David Carr passed away last year. Perhaps Bill never had a lover, never felt companionship in the way many of us experience or aspire to, but it can be said without question that he was loved by an industry, a company, a whole city.

Hat 'n' Boots
In 1954, a Western-themed gas station known as Premium Tex was built and became home to the largest cowboy hat and cowboy boots in America. The 19-foot tall orange hat served as the gas station office, and the boots were bathrooms: one for cowgirls and one for cowboys. The gas station closed in 1988 and Hat 'n' Boots fell into disrepair until a community council raised funds to move the hat and boots to Oxbow Park in Seattle's Georgetown neighborhood. The boots were restored in 2005, but the hat remained a metal skeleton until it was restored in 2010. Hat 'n' Boots is now a popular roadside attraction, and there are plans to turn the cowboy hat into a museum about the gas station's history.

Breakfast for diabetics is a little bit hard to decide as it will affect the energy level for the rest of the day. The ideal breakfast for people with diabetes would be food that is low in glycerin, which means that the food will now raise the blood sugar instantly but it will keep the blood sugar stable throughout the day. Besides protein, it seems that the best choice for accomplishing this ideal is whole grains.
Whole Grains in Breakfast for Diabetics
Breakfast for diabetics should contain whole grains, because protein alone is not enough to keep someone going for hours of activities. Whole grain barley works best in keeping your blood sugar low and stable for the rest of the day, even until dinner. Whole grain rye comes second as the best option to barley and other whole grain like oats could also be eaten for breakfast.
Besides being beneficial in keeping your blood sugar low, whole grains are great breakfast ideas for diabetics because they are rich in magnesium. Besides whole grain barley and rye, you could have a delicious and healthy breakfast with oatmeal and cinnamon. Oatmeal is also beneficial to lower the cholesterol level in the body. Besides oatmeal, brown rice is another healthy breakfast for diabetics. Whether you eat it as a substitution for white rice or eat breads made of brown rice, it has been proven to benefit diabetics with higher metabolism.
Recipes and Other Food in Breakfast for Diabetics
Foods that are high in Vitamin D in general are also recommended as breakfast for diabetics as the vitamin will help you with blood sugar management. Oily fish and dairy products are generally high in Vitamin D. If you happen to live in a place that is exposed to sunlight, being exposed to sunlight directly will also help to keep your Vitamin D high. Supplements can also be taken to substitute natural Vitamin D in our bodies.
An example of breakfast recipes for diabetics is a full menu of egg whites, a cup of hot oatmeal topped with butter with Omega-3, cinnamon, walnuts and low-fat dairy. As for the drinks, tea and orange juice are the best choices, accompanied with a sprinkle of cinnamon. Chamomile tea is especially beneficial to lessen the complications of diabetes. Coffee and milk are also acceptable as they are proven to reduce the risk of diabetes, although they might not be actually beneficial as breakfast for diabetics.

As a mom, I know how easy it is to get so wrapped up in tending to the needs of your family that you put taking care of yourself last. As we celebrate May as Mental Health Month and Mother's Day on May 11, I encourage mothers and caregivers to make taking care of you a top priority. It is the best gift you can give to yourself and your family. A mother's health significantly impacts the development of your child. When you are healthy, the better care you can provide to your children so they can thrive.
Here are some tips for taking care of your physical and mental health:
- Eat well – Make sure that you eat the right foods at regular intervals throughout the day. Healthy food will fuel your body and help you maintain energy.
- Exercise – Exercise helps relieve stress and reduces anxiety. Whether it is to walk, run, do yoga, or play outdoor games with your kids, try to get one hour of exercise each day.
- Get sleep – Many mothers think that naptimes and bedtimes are the best times to complete household chores. But the next time you're tempted to do the dishes or a load of laundry, get some sleep instead to allow yourself to fully recharge.
- Schedule some "me" time each day – Every morning, try to wake up at least a half an hour before the kids wake up. Take the time to meditate, read a book, or plan out your day. Doing so will help you get mentally prepared for anything coming your way.
- Have a support network – Stay connected to friends and family or join a support group of mothers. It helps to have people you can turn to for reassurance and support.
- Be thankful – Create a mental list of the things that you are grateful for each day. By exercising gratitude, you are cultivating positive thoughts to help you parent effectively.
When you are not taking care of yourself—eating well, exercising, getting sleep, or in tune with who you are—the more vulnerable you are to depression. More than one-third of women of childbearing and childrearing years have depressive symptoms. However, many women are unaware that they have depression, or fear being discriminated against, isolated, or blamed. As a result, mothers with depression end up suffering in silence rather than get the help they need for a highly treatable illness. To address this public health issue, First 5 San Diego's Healthy Development Services (HDS) is implementing the Maternal Depression Pilot Project to help identify and treat mothers of young children with depression. Our goal is to strengthen the health and resilience of mothers during a time they are needed most and help them lead fulfilling lives. To get connected, call 1-888-5 FIRST 5 or visit www.first5.demosite.us.

Kettlebell High Pull
The Kettlebell High Pull is a kettlebell exercises that has a little bit of everything in. Part Deadlift, part Upright Row, this is a physically demanding exercise that will not only sculpt your Deltoids and Trapezius but will also be very demanding on your cardio vascular system.
The addition of this exercise to your Kettlebell workouts is one which will aid in the muscle sculpting impact of your training routines as a lot of weight can be lifted on this movement.
As this movement can be performed in a few different manners it also an excellent exercise which can always be done slightly different from workout to workout keping your body guessing and your next plateau at bay.
The full body movement that is the Kettlebell High Pull involves a lot of the major muscle groups, which is part of reason why it causes such an Oxygen deficit when performed. Due to this, it is probably best to keep your reps range in the 8-12 zone and place more focus on shifting some serious weight and engaging the fast twitch muscle fibres of the Thights to encourage lean muscle mass growth.
Why Include the Kettlebell High Pull
The Kettlebell High Pull is a full body movement which will force your body to crave Oxygenated Blood into the major muscle groups as this kettlebell exercise engages the whole of the Posterior Chain.
It is this involvement of the Posterior chain which makes this exercise such a good power building movement. Most of an Athletes power is generated from the muscle groups in the posterior chain such as the Glutes and Hamstrings. Think of your average sprinter for instance, they always tend to have large muscular buttocks which drive the Athlete forward with force.
As force and momentum is created with the initial dead lift portion of the movement, that force is then transformed into the High Pull part of the movement which mimics an upright row with a barbell or dumbbell. As the row part of the movement is not from a hanging position and the weight is already moving upwards with momentum a heavier weight can be used that what one would normally use for an upright row. This extra weight and more importantly, the force at which the weight is moved engages the fast twitch muscle fibre in the Trapezius encouraging muscle building.
The Kettlebell High Pull is a fantastic movement to include in your Kettlebell workouts for mass building of the Trapezius and Deltoids. As there is already momentum driving the weight upwards when you get into the upright row part of the movement, more weight can be lifted and therefore more of a muscle building edge added to your training routine.
In addition to this the Kettlebell High Pull can easily be used as part of a HIIT cardio routine or the sole exercise of a HIIT routine. As the movement is a full body movement, a lot of Oxygenated blood is required to a lot of large muscle groups ensuring you are well and truly in the fat burning zone.
How To Perform The Kettlebell High Pull
The Kettlebell High Pull is a simple to perform compound movement. There are a few different variations of this movement. Below you will find the principles of how to perform this Kettlebell exercise.
1) Place a Kettlebell in between your Legs on the floor.
2) Squat downwards, contracting your core throughout the movement and take hold of the Kettlebell with both hands.
3) Lift upwards, using the Hips to generate the force to thrust upwards to a standing position.
4) Once in the standing position, Row the Kettlebell upwards so that the handle almost touches your Chin.
5) Reverse the movement in one fluid action as the Kettlebell firstly drops to weist height and then touches the floor asn you Squat back downwards.
*At all times during this kettlebell exercise the Athlete is to keep the core tight. Ensure that the first part of themovement is all about momentum caused by the drive of the Hips but the second part of the moement is the Deltoids and Trapezius muscles lifting the weight towards your Chin. Ensure the two halves of the movement become one fluid action both during the lift and the reverse of the movement.*
Keep Your Kettlebell Workouts Interesting With Different Variations
Although this movement has been described as being with two hands lifting one large and heavy Kettlebell it is perfectly fine to adjust this movement to either lift a Kettlebell in each hand at the same time or to do one hand at a time. Using one hand at a time will mean that the Posterior Chain is doing twice the work, whilst enabling you to concentrate on each side of the Trapezius seperately.
Whichever option you prefer, start including the Kettlebell High Pull to your Kettlebell workouts today.

Well here it is, Spicoli, the latest TV spot for Mario Kart 7 -a complete re-imagining of the entire Kart franchise. Ha, I'm only kidding, it's pretty much exactly what you've come to expect from those racing Italian plumbers: enough turtle shells, coin tokens and power ups to choke a moose out. I imagine it's going to be very similar to the last time you played one of these games. Not for nothing though, this TV spot is a hallucinogens best friend. I'm just saying.

Just thinking out loud
Wells Fargo has been well managed for years; Freddie, not so much.
Wells Fargo has long had a higher standalone credit rating than Freddie.
Might it make sense to allow a GSE to become a subsidiary of a bank? As I said, just thinking out loud...
3 comments:
For it to become a subsidiary, and be well managed, the parent company would have to have the authority to set policy. Policy could not be imposed on them from the outside. That is, the current mission could not be continued.
Among other things, no more subsidies designed to increase prices. No well managed private loan company would follow such a strategy long term, as it is not a sustainable business strategy. Its a recipe for eventual loan default when prices get too high.
A well managed company would never loan more than could be repaid, and would not loan more than a realistic value for the product (plus a safety factor).
- Unknown said...
The problem is that banks need to have capital of roughly 8% of assets. Let's say Freddie has $1.5 trillion of assets, that means Wells Fargo would have to increase its capital by $120 billion. You know where it might be able to raise that sort of cash around here? 'Cos I don't.
- Unknown said...
David Lindahl is one of the best Real Estate Mentor and Investor in United States of America. He had written some books which are related to the real estate investment and also he is one of the competitors tried to get in the way his progress by writing unreal Dave lindahl false scam.
