Baseball traditionalists, who may be a dying breed, would much rather watch a game dominated by pitching and defense than watch today's home run derby contests that are represented to be major league baseball games. A well-played defensive game consists of beautiful choreography; the players move to the ball and to other positions relative to the ball according to rules that are well-defined and much-practiced. The movements that implement the rules must be practiced so often that the defenders recognize situations and move to their respective places without thinking. If the rules are executed properly, all of the defenders will be in motion when the ball is put into play, and no player, including the pitcher, will be a mere spectator, no matter where the ball is hit. This article examines the rules used for various defensive situations.Read More

Jeremy Vine's wheel-y good idea
Jeremy Vine will cycle between studios to ensure he can present his new self-titled show and his Radio 2 programme.
The in-demand host will take the reins on Channel 5 consumer show 'Jeremy Vine' – formerly known as 'The Wright Stuff' – next month, and has come up with a wheel-y good way of ensuring he can still front that and 'The Jeremy Vine Show' on the BBC radio station.
According to The Sun's Bizarre TV column, the 53-year-old presenter will shoot the news review section of his TV programme in front of a studio audience before pedalling across London for his radio show.
The former 'Points of View' presenter will co-host 'Jeremy Vine' with current 'The Wright Stuff' co-presenter Storm Huntley.
The show's revamp comes after host Matthew Wright quit following 18 years at the helm, and he filmed his emotional final episode in June.
Matthew choked back tears as he told viewers: "I'd like to thank you at home.
"Eighteen years we have spent together. That is a long time for stuff to happen. I got divorced. Coming in to do the show that day, the day of a break-up, that is an experience."
Jeremy recently admitted he cannot wait to get started on the programme.
He wrote on Twitter: "I'm so excited by this. The show is a perfect fit with my ongoing role @BBCRadio2 and I've often watched the wonderful Matthew Wright with envy and admiration. More soon. Thanks for all the messages."
Since landing the Channel 5 gig, Jeremy has quit 'Points of View', which will no longer be "presenter led", after 10 years.

If you take pride in your appearance you will feel better about yourself : By Renu
The world needs rules, right? They can make the world go round. Can you imagine if there was no infield fly rule except in Yankee Stadium? Or if stop signs were green trapezoids in Pennsylvania? Welcome to the rules of fashion. If it sounds like anarchy, then you have cracked the case wide open.
The rules of fashion actually vary from city to city and change from year to year. So what's a Stylista do? The good news is that there are very few rules anymore. Always remember: if it fits you well, makes you feel great, and there isn't a voice in your head questioning its appropriateness, then you probably got it right.
The following are six fashion myths debunked so that you won't ever have to wonder about 'getting it right' again.
Myth # 1: You can't wear black with brown
I am surprised how many times I have been asked about wearing black and brown together. Visualize a dark chocolate truffle. What is more appealing than that? Black and brown are a great combo and brown is a terrific way to shake up an all-black ensemble. The one thing you wouldn't want to do is wear brown shoes with an all-black outfit or you'll look like you grabbed your shoes in the dark.
Black and blue also takes a hit. It's no felony to wear these two colors together. Blue and brown make a great pair as well. If you do these color combinations, make sure there is enough contrast between the colors so it looks like you put these items together deliberately. For example, in most cases a navy blue and milky chocolate color will look better together than a navy blue and a dark chocolate color (because there is no contrast).
Myth # 2: You can't wear white after Labor Day
The next party puzzler is when we can wear white. Who among us hasn't heard the old adage: "You shouldn't wear white after Labor Day"? To this, I say: be fearless and wear many of the shades of white, cream, ecru, mother-of-pearl and off white through to Thanksgiving if it suits you! It can actually be quite a stunning look when worn from head to toe, or paired with an accent piece like a scarf or furry vest. (Style tip: to make the head to toe, monochromatic look more interesting, you can mix up the textures by incorporating things like leather, nubby knits or chenille).
Myth # 3: Don't wear suede or leather in summer
How silly. Like the Romans, where would we be without leather sandals? Granted, they put more mileage on theirs and we put more designer names in ours, but they are necessary nonetheless. Items like a cute leather vest can be a great addition to a pair of denim shorts and a tee shirt. You may want to give you bomber jacked a seasonal time-out, but not all your leather needs to take a summer hiatus.
Myth # 4: Your shoes and bag must match.
There is nothing as dull as "matchy-matchy" shoes, belts and bags. They shouldn't be all over the map, but they don't have to look like they all came from the exact same material. Mixing it up a little is just fine.
Myth # 5: Don't wear red (or pink) if you're a redhead
Even if I wasn't a redhead I would have to say this is just wrong. Can't blue-eyed people wear blue and brunettes wear brown? As a card carrying blue-eyed redhead, I am here to proclaim that the fashion police will not issue us any sort of citation if we are caught wearing red.
If you are a redhead, playing it up by wearing cobalt or chartreuse can be fun! You should not be forbidden to wear any color just because you hair happens to be red. Whatever the color, if it flatters you and makes you feel fabulous, wear it.
Myth # 6: You must wear pantyhose.
This has been debated 'round the blogosphere' for years. This is one of those questions where I truly feel that you should do what makes you feel comfortable. If you work at a place that is very conservative and wearing hose is the absolute norm, then you should probably invest. If you must go sans hose and your legs are the color of cream cheese, then I recommend self-tanning cream. If it's cold out and you don't like either option-just wear pants. And this one is for all the baubles: Can you wear hose with open toes? Yes, just tuck the seam under.
All in all…
If you take pride in your appearance you will feel better about yourself. People will respond positively and appreciate your effort you put inn, whether you are going to work, dinner, making a presentation, or whatever the occasion. Like most things in life, you get back what you put in.
If it seems appropriate for the circumstance and makes you feel powerful and comfortable, chances are you will be just fine. As far as following the 'rules' go, if Madonna could get some of us to wear our underwear on the outside of our tops in the 1980's, no one is going to fault us now for taking a few liberties with the month we retire our whites or the color of our belt and shoes.
There are so many rules we must follow in life, at least fashion should be fun!

Playoff Journal (May 24)
Very few All Star-caliber players have had the 'mood' swings experienced by Toronto's Kyle Lowry during a single series. The Raptors were non-competitive in losing Game 1 (by 31 points) and Game 2 (by 19 points) in Cleveland and while there was plenty of blame to go around, there was no bigger 'goat' than Lowry. He was 4 of 14 from the floor in each of the first two games of the Eastern Conference Finals, including going a combined 1 of 15 from three-point range. He had more TOs (9) than assists (8), as well. However, he got things turned around with a solid 20-point Game 3 effort on 7 of 13 shooting (4 of 8 on threes) in support of DeRoizan's 32 points and Biyombo's 26 rebounds in Toronto's 99-84 victory. Yes, DeRozan had another 32-point effort in Game 4 but it was Lowry's 'show,' as he scored 35 points on 14 of 20 shooting, including 4 of 7 on threes.
The Raptors shot 53.8 percent as a team, after shooting 45.8% in their Game 3 win and a combined 41.1% in the two losses at Cleveland (averaged only 86.5 PPG). However, as is almost always the case, the Raptors rarely make things easy on themselves. The Cavs were horrific from behind the arc in the first half (3 of 23) and Toronto led 57-41 at the break (Lowry scored 15 of Toronto's 30 points in the second quarter). However, the Cavs made a game of it the third quarter and then opened the fourth quarter by making 11 consecutive shots! The Cavs took an 88-87 lead with 7:03 left and still led 96-94 at the 4:52 mark. However, Cleveland would make just ONE of its final 10 shots the rest of the way (an Irving three-pointer with 2:20 remaining), as the Raptors outscored them 11-4 for a 105-99 win.
LBJ had 29-9-6 but one didn't get the sense he was dominating anyone. Irving contributed 26 points but was 3 of 8 on threes. J.R. Smith was 3 of 11 on threes and Kevin Love just 2 of 7 (held to 10 points and seven rebounds). The Cavs hoisted 41 three-pointers for the second straight game, making just 13 (made only 14 in Game 3). This after shooting 'lights out' vs the Hawks from behind the arc in the semis. Have the Cavs now been exposed? Can the Raptors, who went 32-9 at home in the regular season and are now 8-2 at Air Canada Centre in the playoffs, win in Cleveland? The Raptors are 0-3 this season in Cleveland (losing by a combined 72 points) and are 2-6 on the road in the playoffs. The Cavs are 6-0 SU at Quicken Loans Arena this postseason. We find out Wednesday.
Home teams continue to dominate play in the conference finals, going 6-1 SU and ATS with FOUR of the seven games going under ("Zig-Zaggers" are 3-2 this round). Checking in on the postseason numbers to-date, home teams are 50-23 SU (.685) and 44-29 ATS (60.3%). Forty-four of the 73 games have stayed under (60.3%) and those following the Zig-Zag theory are 31-28 or plus-0.2 net games. Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals goes tonight at 9:00 ET on TNT, as the Warriors and Thunder meet in OKC. Golden State corrected all the mistakes that plagued the team in the second half of a Game 1 loss, when the Warriors let a 13-point halftime lead skip away by scoring just 42 points, including just 14 in the fourth quarter. Golden St was the more aggressive team in Game 2 and walked away with a 118-91 victory.
However, those second half Game 1 mistakes came back in a big way in Game 3, as the Thunder seemingly turned every rebound and every errant pass into an opportunity to get out in transition. Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook combined for 63 points, 16 rebounds and 14 assists, as the Thunder scored a franchise playoff record 133 points, the most points scored by any team in the 2016 postseason, to date. Game 3 was tied at 40-all with just under nine minutes left in the first half on Sunday night when the Thunder outscored the Warriors 32-7 over the rest of the half, with Golden St going an ABYSMAL 2-of-23 from the floor over that span. The Warriors are now down in this series for a second time (2-1, like 1-0 after Game 1) but it should be noted that TWICE during the team's run to the 2015 title, the Warriors fell behind 2-1 in a series before ultimately winning.
However, the Warriors were never as thoroughly crushed as they were on Sunday. "We got our butts kicked," Golden State coach Steve Kerr told reporters. "It doesn't matter if (the loss was by) one point or 30. You've got to look at the tape and you've got to figure out how you can be better and then you come back with a better effort. But they were the more desperate team (Sunday), they were beating us to loose balls, to rebounds, and our quick shots just fed their transition." Warriors All-Star Draymond Green was held to six points on 1-of-9 shooting in the loss but the Warriors 'dodged a bullet' with the NBA ruling that Green would NOT be suspended for Game 4 for his flagrant foul for kicking Oklahoma center Steven Adams in the groin in the second quarter. As Jeff Van Gundy said so well last night, "Does anyone seriously think that if Curry had been the 'victim' of a similar act by Adams, that Adams would NOT have been suspended?"
Now here's the rub. The Warriors' Game 3 loss marks just their 13th loss this year, nine in the regular season and now four in the playoffs. Golden St has NEVER lost back-to-back games all year, sitting a PERFECT 12-0 SU and 9-3 ATS following a loss year-to-date. Will that trend hold or will the Warriors return to Oakland down 3-1 with their championship hopes on 'life support?' Golden St is favored by 1 1/2 points.
My Wednesday journal will be available by 12 noon ET.

4 Maintenance Tips To Extend The Life Of Your Dishwasher
A dishwasher is one of the best conveniences offered in the kitchen, especially if you are on-the-go like many families. Keeping the unit well-maintained or repaired will make it more economical and increase its life expectancy. It is advisable by some manufacturers to use the dishwasher daily to keep it in good running order, and free of any collectible debris. However, that is not the only recommendation.
Tip #1: Inspect, Repair, and Clean the Gaskets
Inspect and repair any gaskets that may have become cracked, and clean the debris that might have built up around them with time. A good all-purpose cleaner will clean much of the gunk away. It is also advisable to add a small layer of petroleum jelly (Vaseline) to them to keep them flexible and watertight.
Tip #2: Take Care When Loading the Dishwasher
Be careful when loading the unit with sharp objects so you don't damage the racks because many are vinyl. In many cases, the racks are too expensive to replace versus the cost of a new unit. For example: a bottom rack could cost as much as $200, whereas the new washer would only cost approximately $240. You should try to avoid rough use to eliminate the added bill.
Tip #3: Use Vinegar For a Deeper Clean
Occasionally, add one cup of vinegar to the bottom of the dishwasher and run an empty load. This should help remove any lingering food or debris that might have collected over time. The vinegar will leave the unit fresh smelling. Try to check regularly for the accumulation of trash in the filter.
Tip #4: Clean Up Hard Water Buildup
As time passes, you might notice a film has built-up on the inside of your washer. This can be caused by hard water, but don't panic; there are some ways to clean built-up debris:
Removing Water Stains: Stains can be removed by using one cup of white vinegar or baking soda added to the unit and running the unit for a full cycle.
Removing Mold: Mold can be removed and killed by placing a tablespoon of bleach at the bottom of the unit and running it for one complete cycle.
If it is affordable, you should purchase a home warranty that will cover many of the charges in maintaining a dishwasher. Not all situations will be covered, but in many cases, you might only need to pay the deductible for the repair or replacement of your unit.
For more information or if you are having more serious issues with your dishwasher, consider contacting professional plumbers in your area, such as those at Silver Creek Plumbing.

As reported in today's Courier, I have criticised the proposed £859 136 expenditure on refurbishing Dudhope Castle for use by City Council staff and said that the City Council has to learn lessons from what is a bad example of the council failing to openly tender for the work to get best value for the council tax payer and also failing to ensure proper decision-making by rushing the spending through at the last minute through a small recess sub-committee.
Following my raising concerns about the way this large expenditure was rushed through the Recess Sub-Committee of the council at the end of last month, I have been in discussion and correspondence with senior officers of Dundee City Council about the way this refurbishment contract has been handled.
Now being aware of the whole background, I have to say I am very unhappy indeed at the failure of council to undertake a competitive tender of the work and simply hand it to the council's own Environment Department. The council simply cannot show it got best value for a contract if it fails to go out to open tender in the marketplace.
The excuse given for failing to seek competitive quotes – that the decision was urgent – stands up to no scrutiny whatsoever. The previous occupants of the property – Abertay University – gave notice to quit back in May 2011 and the council has had all that time to move the tendering process forward.
I am not criticising the decision to move staff out of their present inadequate accommodation. I think everyone accepts that relocation of staff from their outdated accommodation at, for example, St Columba's and Balmerino Road, makes sense.
However, but there has been no proper scrutiny of this large tender – the best part of £1m - and the failure to seek competitive quotes is extremely unfortunate to say the least.
The City Council must urgently review its processes when it comes to tendering for goods and services. I have already recently met with the Chief Executive about the need to ensure that local businesses get a fair share of the council's tendered work. In addition, the council must urgently review the amount of work that does not go to competitive tender. The City Council has a duty to ensure best value for its tax payers at all times.

The Schlesinger Library has digitized several small collections of Susan B. Anthony papers consisting of correspondence, diaries, and speeches, as well as photographs, inscriptions in books, and memorabilia related to the American icon.
The Schlesinger Library has over 100 books once owned by the family of Charlotte Perkins Gilman. Of all of them, the most fascinating are Christmas gifts from her husbands Charles Walter Stetson and George Houghton Gilman.
In early to mid-2013, I digitized a collection of unedited personal interviews; subjects for the documentary film The Life and Times of Rosie the Riveter. I listened to about 40 hours of "Rosie" interviews with the real women who were hired by US industry and manufacturing to help with the war effort during World War II.
My grandmother Justine Wise Polier wore many hats during her 84 years: Pioneering judge. Advocate for children. Foe of discrimination. Supporter of Israel. Daughter of world-famous rabbi. Wife, mother, friend, author, and artist.
To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the report of the President's Commission on the Status of Women, the Schlesinger Library is featuring a few women who were members of or staffed the commission.
The archives of the Schlesinger Library include several collections that highlight the women's club movement and the lives of its founding members. Organized and directed by women, the mission and objectives of the clubs varied, but most provided ample opportunities for self-improvement and voluntary civic work. The earliest clubs were formed shortly after the Civil War, and by the late 19th century, clubs had rapidly spread across the nation.
In honor of the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, the Schlesinger Library is highlighting the papers of several women from our collections who fought for civil rights, some of whom participated in the monumental march on August 28, 1963. It was one of the most successful civil rights demonstrations in the history of America.
The Schlesinger Library has recently digitized hundreds of posters from its collections, including dozens of suffrage posters representing the efforts of both the American and British suffrage campaigns. To celebrate the certification of the 19th Amendment, which occurred on August 26, 1920, we've put together a few highlights below.

A healthy diet comprises lean proteins, good fats, whole grains, various fruits, and different vegetables. Eating a well-balanced diet is very crucial, but in this busy life, people forget or are too busy to prepare healthy meals.
Eating a well-balanced diet can prevent some diseases and health problems. The following are some of the benefits of eating a well-balanced diet.
- Promotes weight loss
Losing weight can help in reducing the chronic conditions risks. If a person is obese or overweight, they expose themselves to higher risks of developing many conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, some types of cancer, etc. Fruits and whole grains have lower calories than foods which are processed.
If you maintain a diet which has no processed foods, then you can stay within your daily limit without the need of counting calories. Fiber is part of a healthy diet that can help you to lose weight. Foods which are plant-based has plenty of fiber, can assist in regulating hunger by making you to feel full for longer. A recent research has shown that a diet that is rich in lean proteins and fiber lead to weight loss.
- It helps in diabetes management
Eating a balanced and healthy diet can help people with diabetes to manage blood glucose levels, prevent or delay complications of diabetes, lose weight if necessary, keep blood pressure and cholesterol within the normal range.
You can use ketone test strips to test the level of insulin in your body to see if you are at risk of developing diabetes. People who have diabetes should limit their intake food which has added sugar and salt. It's also necessary to avoid fried foods that are high in saturated fats.
- A Healthy diet reduces the risks of cancer
An unhealthy diet and unbalanced can result in obesity that may expose people to high risks of developing cancer. But if you have a healthy weight, these risks may reduce. In 2014, a report by the American Society of Clinical Oncology showed that obesity was also common in people who have cancer.
In 2014 again, separate research showed that a diet which is rich in fruits reduced the risks of developing gastrointestinal tract cancer. They also found that a diet which is rich in fiber, vegetables, and fruits reduced the risk of liver cancer.
- It boosts energy
Increased energy levels is one of the many noticeable benefits of a balanced and healthy diet. Fueling your body with the right proportions of vitamins, nutrients, and minerals is a sure way to give your body the energy that it requires for day to day activities.
Healthy carbohydrates such as whole grains legumes, vegetables, fruits, are digested slowly and hence helps to keep the blood sugar and insulin levels evenly throughout the day.
- Improved sleep
Many factors such as sleep apnea can affect your sleep patterns. Sleep apnea occurs when the airways are continuously blocked when you are sleeping. The risk factors include drinking alcohol, obesity, and eating an unhealthy diet. You can reduce the consumption of alcohol or caffeine to help you get quality sleep.
You are yet to understand life if you have not faced challenges. Some are bearable but then comes those extreme and overbearing ones that it gets to a point where you feel like it is impossible to move on. It could be after heartbreak, traumatizing event or death of a loved one. Regardless of what you could be going through, it is essential to know that every problem has a solution.
How do you know when to see a mental therapist? What are some signs that you too to book an appointment with your psychiatrist? The answer to that comes by merely checking the extent or degree of the pain and anxiety. Any feeling that affects your ability to function is the first symptom that you need help. Here is a look at some of the reasons to consider the option of a mental therapist.
You are no longer social
You are probably in a situation where being around many people makes you nervous. This is an indication that you need to seek out therapy. If you were previously a party guru, but now you find yourself avoiding parties, hanging out with your friends or attending family gatherings, you might be experiencing fear of judgment and anxiety is kicking in thus affecting your normality. A health counselor is the first thing to working through the problem.
Extreme anger and sadness
There are times when you feel out of control. You get irritated by the tiniest things; you become aggressive towards people, and all you want is to be left alone. This is a sign of a problem that requires professional treatment. It can even get to the point of emotional eating which eventually results to an unhealthy weight gain. Even worse, these feelings could escalate to a point where you start questioning life, and you develop the thoughts of committing suicide. Do not let it get to that point before seeking professional help.
You have unusual phobias
There are common phobias such as being afraid of snakes, heights or roaches. Then there are unusual fears that can result in significant life problems. An example is a fear of eating. Yes, it is a thing and a health-threatening problem. You may also experience phobophobia or fear of fear which can lock you up from doing many things in fear of failing. As much as most people overlook such issues and assume that they are normal, it is recommendable to let a therapist in for assistance.
Getting into unhealthy addictions and rare habits
So initially you were a jovial person, always social and rarely did drugs but suddenly you are this new individual. Always smoking, drinking and you have become addicted to all sorts of drugs. Drugs are mostly used as a way of escaping the larger problems, and therefore if you find yourself into them, it is a sign that you are going through something bigger than your capacity and you, therefore, need mental counseling.
Mental breakdown has become a common issue but with numerous e-counseling platforms today, getting help has become easier, convenient and more accessible than before. Do not wait until things get out of hands. Check out reputable sites like this premiere mental health resource in order to understand your problems better and know which kind of e-counseling will work best for you (based on your specific problems before getting started).
Sleep is one of the most critical activities of the human body. There's always that feeling of being cozy and secure when you get to bed after a long day at work or running a few errands here and there. However, returning to bed isn't enough, and you need more. A weighted blanket is designed to achieve a fantastic sleep experience by providing a unique connection and physical intimacy like no other. We all have different needs, and whether its anxiety problems you want to do away with or you just want to have better nights, a weighted blanket is your best bet. Here are some of its benefits;
Provides increased relaxation
Weighted blankets use Deep Touch Pressure (DTP), a science that is used to apply pressure to the body and enhance serotonin release which is a chemical in the body that increases relaxation. DTP works for most people although a recent study found that it is best for children with autism because they tend to be low in serotonin. Weighted blankets stimulate the release of the chemical and enhance relaxation. Consider it the most effective non-drug therapy if you are seeking to have relaxed and peaceful nights.
Reduces anxiety
The best way to lower stress levels is by the use of a weighted blanket regardless of the age. The effectiveness of these blankets is overwhelming with a recent study showing that at least two-thirds of the users indicated lower levels of anxiety. For people going through high-stress events, their best solution is a weighted blanket because not only does it provide useful relaxation but also reduce any stress that your body may be going through.
Reduces stress
One of the most noticeable characteristics of weighted blankets is that they cause less nervous system activity. Usually, there is a physiological reaction to one's nervous system when Deep Touch Pressure is applied, and this leads to a lower activity which in turn makes someone in a way or another forget what was stressing them. A good example where these blankets are used is at dentist's offices where many people go through anxiety problems before the tooth extraction.
Triggers release of feel-good hormones
The human brain is very complex, and neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin are part of the complexities. They are the major brain feel-good hormones triggered by the Deep Touch Pressure. In case of stress, depression or anxiety these hormones tend to make you forget all about it and focus on being happy or concentrating on good memories.
Overall sleep improvements
There are always cases of people who have insomnia and the best way to deal with that is by using weighted blankets. They lead to a better sleep all-around and the next moment you are fast asleep and peacefully for that matter.
The human body is very complex, and many organs are coordinated to improve its overall working. The brain is usually at the center of it all and is responsible for how your sleep will be. Weighted blankets contribute immensely on how your nights turn out to be. This is because they have a significant impact on the nervous system. So get yourself hush blankets from reputable suppliers and enjoy the many benefits.
A lot of women tend to avoid sports or physical activity due to a principal reason. A friend of mine had this problem and because of it, she hated sports. This reason is that they despise impacts because their sports bras fail them with support. Of course, this becomes a more serious problem for ladies that have a bigger breast.
Activities such as running, rope skipping, horseback riding, mountain biking and many others must often be avoided even if they seemed interesting to them. This is sad because sports and physical activity is usually linked to health, wellness and fun.
However, how can that be when it becomes a moment of embarrassment or pain? Some might say that those women could choose another activity and it's true. Others will say that it's very disempowering to choose a physical activity or a sport out of spite.
This situation isn't an incentive to do physical activity. This is a bad situation because a lot of teenager girls stop practicing sports in high school because of many reasons such social paradigms (regarding look) that are created by the fashion industry.
This generates a bad momentum because a sedentary lifestyle can bring health issues.
In a society where women are tough to take their place and grow their self-esteem, they should have access to sports gear such as a sports bras (or brassière sport as French fashion magazines would call them) that helps them to practice the physical activity that they want in total comfort. It would be a good start!
ENELL Québec offers the best sports bras in the world. It's cliché to bring such a statement but their bras are patented to have the best biomechanical support to do any movement and be as free as a woman should be!
We often hear
We often hear that losing fat is a matter of mindset and will. Of course, if you fix your diet and if you do more physical activity, you should lose fat right? After all, this will result in a negative caloric balance and a lot of people say that to lose a pound of fat you need to lose 3500 Calories. This statement was probably truer in the fast than today.
Biochemical health
For this statement to be true, a person must have a very good biochemical health. Health is more of a continuum than an on-off switch. Why could it be more difficult to lose weight and fat now than it was in the past? Here are a few possible reasons.
Cortisol is a very important hormone that keeps us alert in a « fight or flight » situation. This hormone is very useful if a tiger jumps in front of you. However, if your body creates too much cortisol due to fictional tigers like: SMS, email, phone ring, impatient boss, traffic jam, children, etc. it becomes more difficult to lose weight. In fact, it creates an imbalance between the hormones related to the sympathetic nervous system (activation) and the parasympathetic nervous system (relaxation). A high level of cortisol on a daily basis will even create insulin resistance which leads to gaining fat. Today, our allostatic load (accumulation of stress) is really high due to our growing availability towards our responsibilities due to technology.
Xenoestrogens are chemical particles that have the same effect on the body as estrogens. Those hormonal disruptors are found in plastics (especially if it' a heated food recipient), pesticides, cosmetic products and other products.
Affect negatively
Both cortisol and xenoestrogens are hormones that affect negatively testosterone level which is plummeting in women (yes, you also have some) and men. Testosterone helps to improve body composition by reducing the body adiposity.
Lack of sleep quality
With blue light (especially at night) sleep is less efficient. This situation diminishes melatonin, growth hormone and testosterone secretion. The problem is that those hormones are great to improve body composition. Moreover, blue light increases the secretion of cortisol while you sleep… Luckily, more and more people are aware of this factor and reduce their night screen exposition or wear glasses that fix the problem.
Persistent Organic Pollutants also known as POP
Persistent Organic Pollutants (POP such as heavy metals have a tendency to accumulate in adipose tissue which brings fat loss difficulty to a much higher level of difficulty. The body's mechanism is that it uses fat to store POPs and of course, the body wants to avoid POPs to go in the blood stream so it preserves fat as a protective mechanism.
Food and micronutrients
For many different reasons, the food we consume is lower in concentration of a lot of micronutrients and trace minerals, especially in the last 50 years. Because of this lower concentration of micronutrients, some metabolic pathways aren't optimized like they should. For example, methylation that helps to get rid of POPs isn't optimized if some "ingredients" are missing.
Be proactive!
In conclusion, this is why losing weight and fat might be a little bit more difficult today that it was fifty years ago. However, being aware of this information and reacting to it by hiring a naturopath is a great way to be proactive!
Whole30 is a plan running for 30 days that is meant for people eating food without sugars, legumes, grains alcohol, dairy or soy. After the 30-day ultimatum, people can revert to eating non –whole30 compliant food. The sole importance of this Whole30 meal plan is to find out the foods that bear health effects on the body. Maintaining this plan is, therefore, an important step towards achieving a healthy body.
The plans don't have snacks because snacking contains some sugar. Make sure to eat enough meal when having each meal while remembering to avoid snacking. In case you want to eat anything in-between meals, cut-up veggies are the most recommended.
About this, below are the techniques for preparing a meal plan during the first week:
First and foremost, wash all the products using a bit of vinegar before putting them in the refrigerator. All vegetables should be sliced and diced then stored in food containers meant for refrigeration. Similarly, peppers, carrots, as well as potatoes, easily dry up. To avoid this, they should be stored in water for them to remain succulent and avoid drying up. Storing them in water also helps in minimizing the preparation time when cooking in the evening. Onions, on the other hand, should be chopped and stored in containers so that they can quickly be added to other dishes when cooking in the evening.
During this week, be considerate to cook bacon that will be added to salads or will be eaten every day I the morning to save time during the morning as beacons reheat easily and faster.
Some people prepare meat during the first week. The meat portions should be separated into portions and stored in foo bags for ease when travelling at times. Those people going for work should remember to prepare lunch from the leftovers a night before the day of the journey or work.
After the first week, meal planning moves into the second week where some tips are also put into consideration. To maintain a robust Whole30 meal plan, therefore, some notes are observed. The notes are vital when preparing some food at times. Some of the notes observed include:
Sausages should be chopped up into sizeable pieces then mixed with peppers and sauerkraut. The three ingredients are then cooked in using beacon grease until the mixture is tender and soft.
Sweet potatoes should be peeled and shred into a food processor and cooked using a hot skillet using a considerate amount of coconut oil until they soften up. The soft and tender potatoes can then be seasoned with pepper and salt.
Another recipe is that of CauliRice. The CauliRice is run in a blender until it is crumbly and small. The blended CauliRice is then tossed with olive oil then roasted at 400 degrees Fahrenheit until it turns brown with a sweet fragrance.
Some people prefer pork scramble. The few pieces of pork should be chopped up and added into scrambled eggs. The mixture can then be tossed in diced peppers and onions.
Testosterone is a hormone that the body naturally produces and is linked to many growth characteristics men, it is therefore a vital hormone and low levels of testosterone can cause deficiencies both in terms of muscle growth and sexual functionality.
Aging and testosterone
As you age your testosterone levels naturally decrease as your body begins to lower its production of testosterone, this causes levels of both free testosterone and levels of testosterone bonded with sex hormone binding globulin to decrease as well. Low levels of free testosterone can lead to reduced bone and muscle mass in the body. Low levels SHBG bonded testosterone could lead to men losing sexual functionality, leading to other health problems such as erectile dysfunction. Additionally, research points to low levels of testosterone causing men to feel sluggish and out of energy.
Low Testosterone supplements
There are many supplements on the market with the aim of increasing testosterone levels, most of these products are safe to use however you need to find a supplement that is designed to provide for your specific aim. For example, some supplements are designed to generally boost your testosterone levels to allow for increased muscle growth when working out and therefore include certain ingredients and higher amounts of certain ingredients as their purpose is to act as a temporary testosterone booster and promote the body's absorption of testosterone which will aid in increased muscle growth.
Whereas some products are designed with aging men in mind where they promote testosterone production and feature ingredients to ensure that the body can produce testosterone at healthy and maintainable levels rather than drastically heightening testosterone for workout purposes. Additionally, they typically feature ingredients that aim to reach the overall aim of improving bone and muscle mass, such as Boron which strengthens bones. An example of this type of product is Prime Male which is a testosterone booster that is targeted at men above the age of 30 that are witnessing symptoms to do with low testosterone in their own body.
As previously mentioned this product like others aimed at older men is designed to feature ingredients and quantities to maintain a healthy production level of testosterone as well as featuring products like Boron to maintain healthy bones and Luteolin which inhibits oestrogen levels in men reducing the development of female characteristics. Both Magnesium and Mucuna Pruriens in this supplement also aid in testosterone production, with magnesium being a supplement that is used by athletes when training and Mucuna Pruriens having the secondary effect of improving sexual functionality and sperm production allow users to feel revitalised.
Low testosterone can be a major issue for aging men both physically and mentally leaving them feeling like half of the man that they used to be. Though there are natural ways of improving testosterone production through improving your diet and working out more these methods will not have the same level of effect as low testosterone products like Prime Male. However, it is important that you do your research into the types of product available and ensure that you choose the right supplement such as the one we mention in this article.
Dr.Bernie Hanna is a renowned bariatric surgeon in Las Vegas equipped with knowledge and skills in the weight loss field. Together with his certified team, Dr. Hanna offers multiple safe and effective weight loss options. At Las Vegas Bariatrics, we strive to provide a means for losing excess weight and leading healthier lifestyles. The services provided at our facility range from revision surgery, medical weight loss, gastric bypass surgery and obesity & bariatric surgery. However, not all patients qualify to undergo the bariatric treatment, as some requirements must be met in order to undergo a surgical procedure.
Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery
This procedure involves the creation of a thin stomach sleeve and elimination of the remaining stomach; it is performed to limit the amount of food ingested in the body. By removing part of the stomach, the hunger hormone Grehlin is limited, which then leads to a reduction in appetite. To undergo this procedure, Dr.Bernie Hanna evaluates whether you are a fit candidate through assessment of BMI and overall health. Further, your weight loss goals and needs are put into consideration, to determine whether you are a fit for this surgery or whether another weight loss procedure would be best for you.
Obesity & Bariatric Surgery
This procedure is carried out to help people to lose weight who cannot shed the extra pounds following traditional methods of weight loss. This surgery inhibits intake of food, which is vital for weight loss. To obtain the best results after this surgery, the patient must follow a healthy eating pattern and exercise regularly.
This procedure requires the person to be an adult, have a BMI higher than 40, and have serious health issues related to obesity. The health issues can include severe sleep apnea, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes.
Gastric Band Surgery
This procedure has helped many patients to attain a healthy weight safely by dividing the stomach into a small upper pouch with an adjustable band thus limiting the food that you eat at a time. This procedure is reversible and is considered the least invasive.
To qualify as a fit candidate for this procedure, you must have a body mass index of 40kg/m2. Alternatively, you must weigh more than 100 pounds over the recommended body weight. However, the procedure can be performed on a person with 35-40 kg/m2 BMI if there are other weight related medical conditions. The patient must understand the process and also be willing to commit to a healthy diet going forward.
Las Vegas Bariatrics emphasizes quality to improve overall health and wellness. Our staff is professionally trained and equipped to answer all questions from clients. The facility focuses on providing comfort when undergoing a procedure to ensure that the patient is content with the outcome. Additionally, classes are offered after surgery to help patients lead a healthy lifestyle.

Alley Theatre presents The Great Society
Alley Theatre will present The Great Society as a part of the 71st season, bringing the iconic figure - President Lyndon Baines Johnson - back to the Alley stage. The Alley once again collaborates with the Dallas Theater Center, co-producing the play by Texas playwright and Pulitzer Prize winner Robert Schenkkan.
The Great Society continues with the years from 1965 to 1968, as LBJ struggles to fight a "war on poverty" even as his war in Vietnam spins out of control. Besieged by political opponents, Johnson marshals all his political wiles to try to pass some of the most important social programs in U.S. history, while the country descends into chaos over the war and backlash against civil rights.

All employees with at least 2 years' service have the right to be consulted before being made redundant and then to receive a statutory redundancy payment on top of their contractual notice and any accrued but untaken holiday.
Redundancy is sometimes used as an excuse to terminate employment when the real reason is something else. Alternatively, you may feel that you have been unfairly selected for redundancy, so may have a claim for Unfair Dismissal. If you believe that you have been unfairly dismissed, you may have a claim in the Employment Tribunal. Our redundancy lawyers have vast experience of these claims and can help you
- Appeal your redundancy internally
- Negotiate a settlement with your former employer
- Bring a claim to the Employment Tribunal
Most claims for Unfair Dismissal require 2 years' continuous service but there are exceptions, including when the reason for dismissal is related to pregnancy or leave for family reasons, whistleblowing, asserting a statutory right or health and safety.
We know that money will be tight if you have been made redundant unfairly. We therefore offer no win no fee agreements to bring Employment Tribunal claims in suitable cases and also identify whether you might be able to use existing legal expenses insurance to pay your legal fees.
Our employment lawyers are based in our London office but can also see you at our Watford Office.

FAQs about redundancy
How does redundancy work?
Redundancy is where
- The employer is no longer carrying out the business for the purpose of which the employee is employed
- The employer is no longer carrying out the business in the place in which the employee is employed
- Requirements for the employee to carry out work of a particular kind is to cease or diminish either across the business or in the place where the employee is employed
A fair selection process must be followed if there is more than one employee doing work of a particular kind but no need to make all of them redundant. There should be consultation over possible alternatives to redundancy (such as relocation, an alternative job or reduced hours), the method of selection and choice of "pool" from which redundancies will be made, the criteria to be used, an employee's scores against those criteria and any possible alternative employment.
What is bumping?
Bumping involves moving a potentially redundant employee into an alternative position, then making that second employee redundant. It is considered fair to do so, though not necessarily something an employer has to consider.
How long should a consultation period be?
There is no prescribed period for individual consultation with potentially redundant employees, but consultation must be long enough, and take place early enough, to be meaningful. Short meetings over a period of days before notice is given are unlikely to be adequate.
If an employer is proposing to make at least 20 redundancies within 90 days, collective consultation is required with appropriate employee representatives. That must last at least 30 days for between 20 and 99 redundancies, and 45 days for 100 or more redundancies.
How much notice should I be given for redundancy?
Redundant employees should be given notice in line with their Contract of Employment, or statutory notice if longer. Notice must be given after consultation is complete. Many redundant employees are offered pay in lieu of notice, or placed on garden leave during their notice period. It is however possible to ask redundant employees to work through their notice period, though you should be offered time off to look for alternative employment.
How is redundancy pay calculated?
Statutory redundancy pay is calculated using the following formula:
For complete years worked aged 41 and over 1 ½ weeks' pay
For complete years worked aged 22-41 1 week's pay
For complete years worked aged under 22 ½ week's pay
A week's pay is subject to a statutory maximum, currently £508. A maximum of 20 years' service is counted.
The easiest way to calculate statutory redundancy pay is to use the online calculator on gov.uk.
Can my employer replace me after redundancy?
As redundancy results from a need for work of a particular kind or in a particular place to be reduced, replacing a redundant employee raises a question as to whether or not there was in fact a genuine redundancy situation and if so whether it was in fact an Unfair Dismissal. If another employee is taken on to do a different role or in a different place, but that job might have been suitable for you, you might have a claim for Unfair Dismissal on the basis that suitable alternative employment was not offered.

Popcorn has been eaten as a snack in the United States for thousands of years—the oldest ears of popcorn to have been found are believed to be at least 4,000 years old. They were discovered in the Bat Cave of west-central New Mexico in 1948 and 1950, and ranged from smaller than a penny to about 2 inches in size.
Early Native Americans grew corn, which they called "mahiz" (which evolved into the more familiar "maize"), and they introduced it to the English who came to America in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. It is believed that Native Americans discovered that corn kernels popped when thrown into a fire or hot sand.
Popcorn was not only an important food at the time, but was also used by Native Americans and Aztecs to make garlands worn by women at celebration dances.
After the introduction of the moldboard plow in the mid-1800s, corn growing became more widespread and led to an increase in the popularity of popping corn
as a recreational activity. Popcorn was sold at carnivals and circuses, as well as in the grocery stores. With the invention of "talking pictures," movie theaters initially
refused to sell popcorn because it was too messy, so their customers took in their own popcorn, purchased from street vendors. The theaters soon caught on
and introduced their own concession stands to provide the snack.
During the Great Depression, popcorn was one of the few luxuries that the average man in the street could afford, being relatively cheap at five or ten cents a bag. While many other businesses failed, the popcorn business thrived. When the United States entered World War II, sugar was sent overseas for U.S. troops, so candy became scarce, and Americans ate three times as much popcorn as usual. Later, as television became popular, there was a small slump in popcorn consumption, as Americans deserted the movie theaters to stay home in front of the TV; but soon, snacking while watching television increased the consumption of popcorn again.
The popularity of this snack has grown and grown, and today it is one of America's most enduring and popular snacks. People of all ages love popcorn, and the statistics
prove it: Americans consume about 17 billion quarts of popped popcorn each year.
To pop the corn on the stovetop, you will need a covered saucepan and an oil with a high smoke point. The best ones to use are canola, olive, coconut, peanut,
or grapeseed. Do not use butter as it may burn.
3 tablespoons oil
1/3 cup popcorn kernels
A 3-quart saucepan is a good size for 1/3 cup kernels.
Add the oil to the pan and set it on medium-high heat.
Put 3 or 4 popcorn kernels into the oil and cover the pan. When the kernels pop, add the rest of the 1/3 cup of popcorn kernels in an even layer. Sprinkle with salt.
Cover, remove from heat, and count 30 seconds. This step first heats the oil to the right temperature, and waiting 30 seconds brings all of the other kernels to a
near-popping temperature, so that when they are put back on the heat, they all pop at about the same time.
Return the pan to the heat. The popcorn should begin popping soon, and all at once. Once the popping starts in earnest, gently shake the pan by moving it back and
forth over the burner. Try to keep the lid slightly ajar to let the steam from the popcorn release (the popcorn will be drier and crisper). Once the popping slows to several seconds between pops, remove the pan from the heat, remove the lid, and pour the popcorn immediately into a bowl.
With this method, nearly all of the kernels should pop, and none should burn.

Prevalence of Non Communicable diseases including Cardio Vascular Diseases (CVD) is on the rise as 40 million people die of it each year around the world. Out of this 15 million people die at younger age, between 30 and 69 years, but the worst part of it is that 80 % of these premature deaths occur in middle and lower income group countries including Pakistan.
Nutritional factors play a vital role in heart diseases and stroke causation with disturbance of ratio of saturated to un-saturated Fatty acid. Inflammatory markers of the vessels initiate the atherogenic processes leading to occlusion and ischemia of vital organs could be modified with diversified Nutritional strategies and hence the atherogenesis.
Along with prevention, variable nutritional factors modify the atherosclerosis and are thus useful in secondary and tertiary prevention of CVD.
Micro and macronutrients as outlined by Nutrition guidelines can modify the outcome of NCD as well

Martin / OM-18 1933 Authentic / Guitar
Used Martin OM-18 1933 Authentic guitar for sale
Price is ex. shipping. Please inquire for a shipping quote to your destination.
om-18 authentic 1933
Here to remind you why you fell in love with us in the first place, the new Authentics are constructed the old way - with hide glue, throughout, and historically-accurate detailing confirmed by using a CAT scan machine located at the Smithsonian Institute. Based on a 1933 OM-18 on loan from Fred Oster of Vintage Instruments, this guitar is constructed with a genuine mahogany back and sides and an Adirondack spruce top using an authentic circa 1933 bracing pattern. Featuring period-correct "OM-18" Authentic-style appointments, right down to the Authentic 1933 neck barrel and heel. Martin's new Vintage Tone System (VTS) is employed for the top and braces.
The new Martin Vintage Tone System (VTS) uses a unique recipe that is based on the historic torrefaction system. The VTS acts much like a time machine in which Martin can target certain time periods and age the top/braces to that era. This focused method allows Martin's craftsmen and women to recreate not only the pleasing visual aesthetics of a vintage guitar, but also reproduce the special tones previously reserved for vintage instruments.

This afternoon, George Lucas, Billie Lourd and others paid tribute to the late Carrie Fisher at a "Star Wars" Celebration.
Interested in Star Wars?Add Star Wars as an interest to stay up to date on the latest Star Wars news, video, and analysis from ABC News.

Lucas added that among co-stars like Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill, "She was the toughest one of the group ... We'll all miss her, but she'll always be the princess who took command and never backed down."
Fisher died late last year after suffering a cardiac arrest.
The tribute didn't end there, as Fisher's daughter Lourd took the stage in full Princess Leia attire.

A montage of Fisher outtakes and interviews was then played for fans in attendance.
"Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope" she says in one clip.
Other actresses in the Star Wars universe commented on the strength of Fisher's performance in the series and the impact that had on them.

Low Carb Pork Posole – with Keto and Slow Carb Variations
The classic Mexican posole is a rich stew made with pork butt, hominy, mixed chiles and flavored broths. But alas, hominy is corn and corn is not compliant with a low carb diet. Not to worry however! This variation of a low carb pork posole is every bit as tasty with navy beans standing in for the hominy.
What? You're on a ketogenic diet? Well then, please substitute cabbage for the hominy instead. It's all good. And I mean really good.
Ancho chiles in Low Carb Pork Posole
The ground ancho chile is the key to the flavor here, and go as fresh as you possibly can with the anchos. Ancho chile powder is not the same things as generic "Chili Powder" that you get at the grocery by the way. The generic stuff is usually a blend of multiple ingredients such as cumin, oregano, garlic powder and ground chiles and the ratio of each ingredient varies widely between brands.
You can usually find ground ancho chile at Latin grocery stores and sometimes in regular supermarkets in the Mexican grocery aisle. If you want really fresh ancho powder, we grow poblano and pasilla peppers and smoke them and grind them on the farm. Click here for a supremely fresh, smoky ancho powder blend.
Pork Posole Toppings for the Crowd
This recipe for low carb pork posole makes a lot and if you don't want to have it for lunch all week, share it with your family or invite some friends over. It's always fun to put a platter of toppings on the table so everyone can add them to their soup, and most of the traditional garnishes/toppings are also low carb! Here are a few ideas:
- thinly sliced red radish
- shredded cabbage
- cilantro
- diced avocado
- Queso Fresco
- lime juice
- diced fresh green chile
Recipe for "Slow" Carb Pork Posole
- 1 tsp ground cumin, toasted and then ground if possible
- 1 Tbsp oregano
- 3 bay leaves
- 1/2 cup ground Ancho chile powder
- 2 1/2 – 3 lbs boneless pork shoulder (aka Boston Butt), cut into small chunks
- 1 large onion, diced
- 6 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 Tbsp salt
- 2 cans of white navy beans (or 2 cups of dried navy beans soaked overnight)
- substitute cabbage in for the navy beans if you are strictly ketogenic or use hominy for beans if you just want a classic version
- Combine all of the ingredients in a crockpot or slow cooker and cook on low 6-8 hours or until meat is tender. Add salt and more Ancho chile powder if needed.
- This is even better the next day. Just turn the slow cooker back on low for a couple more hours. You really can't overcook.

At the end, you are given a copy of the recipe so that you can recreate it at home!
Congrats again, Kevin! Have a great trip and bring me back something nice! Kidding. Well, maybe just a little.
