John 10:10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy, I have come that they may have life and have it to the full!
In my preparation to teach on "Surrendering Sin" I had a total revelation on how God looks at sin. I have often felt like God is very angry with me and that my sin can somehow manipulate him... I know it sounds crazy! But, recently I feel much more like God loves me deeply and sees my sin as something that keeps me from being free and on that basis hates it when I sin and hates what my sin does to me, but loves me and really wants my freedom and abundant life. Seeing God this way and letting it overcome more of my perspective has really brought an abundance of freedom and joy to my life. I view my sin not as something that will make God angry and want to punish me but as something that is keeping me from the true freedom and joy that God desires for me and really for us all to have. So take that sin! God is in the business of restoring and rebuilding; redemption, not destruction. Sure he disciplines those he loves, but in order to bring about holiness which is life! The more time I spend thinking about God and reading his amazing word the deeper I fall in love with him and the more I see how incredible his love is for us! What a joy it is to be a follower of Christ!
Okay, well that was what was on my heart and I just had to blog it out :).
MK has been amazing! Last week was a very busy week for me and thusly was a very awesome week! Anytime I get to spend hours with these great kids is a good time! I love my job... don't know if you could tell. Bellow are the pictures from the service project that we did this past weekend. In true MK fashion we have a kid holding a snake, a kid crawling under the deck and then kids posing epicly. It was great to bless the community and the to be blessed by the goodies (cookies, and such) that each place of work poured out on us.
Here is a wonderful picture of my wife snuggled up on Sunday afternoon; while I watch football she watches her eyelids. I really like how our cat is the same color as the blanket and it is perfect that the pillow she has her head on is also black and white. Poor thing is freezing in this sub arctic 70 degree weather. Love you Diane and I think you are amazing and cute and I'm so thankful for you!
Please pray for her as she struggles through the sickness that being pregnant bestows on her.
Here I am with my amazing new cousin's baby. So.... well.... not sure how we are related technically speaking, I'm just glad that she is cute and I got to see her on Monday. She was born Sunday to my cousin Sami and his wife, their first child. When we got to the hospital I ran into the room and stiff armed Diane out of the way and picked up this little bundle of cuteness and joy and after she had touched down in my arms long enough I handed her off to Diane. Okay, maybe there were too many football metaphors in that last sentence.
Life is good and I praise God for it. This has been a really great week and I'm looking forward to fall festivals with my kids this weekend. Creed has one tonight at his school, and then tomorrow is the epic chili festival at our church, where to celebrate the amazing chili we dress up and also go around and gather candy. Not sure what that has to do with chili but we do it anyway.
It is nice to have Fall weather and good people to share it with!
Mark has a lot of school all the time, pray for him to not burn out and to find great joy and success in his work.
Joel is moving out, pray for his transitions as he continues to find his way in this amazing world!
For Diane as she grows a small urchin in her belly... urchin here means child so don't worry about her health or anything...
For me as I prepare for Thailand (that all $2500 will come in for the trip) and for next semester for MK.
God is so good! He has put you all in my life and you are a tremendous blessing, thanks for your love and kindness your prayers your support and your friendship!
To God be the glory great things he hath done!
Bless you all!

How do cacao nibs factor into this healthy chocolate discussion? I use them in smoothies and baking
You say "without the saturated fat of chocolate", but cocoa powder is still high in saturated fats. Could you explain why it's ok to eat cocoa powder even though it contains saturated fat?
Cocoa powder is relatively low in saturated fat when compared with chocolate candy. Check out the 2 nutrition profiles http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/sweets/5471/2 http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/sweets/10638/2
cocoa powder has zero grams of saturated fat and zero grams of trans fat.
I came up with this Vegan Chocolate Shake years ago as a way to meet daily Omega-3 needs, and would never go a day without having one:
2 tbsp. Whole Organic Flax Seeds
1/4 cup Whole Organic Raw Almonds
2 heaping tbsp. Ah!Laska Organic Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
1/8 rounded tsp. NuNaturals NuStevia Pure White Stevia Extract
(Baker's Cocoa and Stevia… a marriage made in Heaven!)
1 cup cold Edensoy Organic Unsweetened Soy Milk
2-1/2 cups Distilled Water (for soaking the nuts & seeds)
Soak Flax Seeds 12 hours in 1 cup water, last 2 hours in fridge
Soak Almonds 12 hours in 1-1/2 cup water, last 2 hours in fridge
Pour Flax Seeds, soak-water and all, into blender and start blender
Drain, rinse & drain the soaked almonds and add to running blender
Add remaining ingredients to running blender and blend till smooth
Pour and enjoy right away, while the oils are fresh. Mood boost guaranteed!
This is right up my alley… and I use the stevia product you mention above!! I love it and use it in cooking, baking, beverages, deserts, bbq sauce, etc… yummy!
I'm wondering why you soak the flax seeds and almonds. I put them directly into smoothies. Is there a nutritional benefit?
Soaking activates the enzymes, making them more digestible. They also blend a little smoother. I skip the soaking when I'm away from home, though, for the sake of convenience. (Apologies for the delayed response!)
FYI, I've modified my recipe since first writing this: Can no longer get the purest Stevia extract, so I double up on the Stevia and add a heaping tbsp. of Date Sugar. Also, instead of 2 heaping tbsp. cocoa powder, I now use 1 heaping tbsp. cocoa powder + 1 heaping tbsp. raw organic cacao nibs, for a deeper chocolate flavor.
Hello! This sounds delicious. What are you views on combining sweet and fat? Many will tell you it is not a good idea… Would love to know what you think… Thank you for all the very very helpful info on this fine page!!!
I make Sacred Chocolate and we use alternative sweeteners such as maple, Inulin, and Erythritol. So, there are alternatives out there.
Oh I have to try that. yum chocolate healthy style
what about peanutbutter and chocolate smoothy yummy
this is great doc…. soy is controversial and said to raise estrogen levels… can you please help. You make so many things clearer… it would be great if you could talk on this as well.
uma: I agree that Dr. Greger does a great job of making things clearer. There are several videos on this site that covers this topic. Here is a list to get you started. You might want to start with the video: "Soy and breast cancer".
You suggest using soy milk here, but isn't soy a problem in the USA because it is nearly all GM? How about if I use almond milk instead?
Susan: I don't think there is anything wrong with using almond milk instead. However, if you want to avoid GMOs and if you want to get a good serving of soy in your diet, you could get organic soy milk. That would(should) be free of GMOs.
Also, if you happen to live near a stored called "Trader Joes", they say that any food produced under their brand is free of GMOs whether the food is listed as organic or not. (At least this was true at the point I read it. Don't know how far into the future this will be true.) I know that there is a Trader Joes brand soy milk. So, that is an option too.
I don't think Trader Joe's can be trusted not to have GMOs in foods that aren't organic. Check out the Food Babe website (http://foodbabe.com/2013/08/07/what-is-trader-joes-hiding/) for her report on Trader Joe's items.
I buy supplements from a company that sells many different brands, only to doctors, nutritionists, and other professionals and they even have some GMO items because of manufacturing processes. GMOs are everywhere, and almost impossible to avoid. Read totally impossible if you ever eat out.
Thank you for all your amazing work, facts, tips, humour and care!
Awesome. I've been wondering how I could sweeten up the bitterness of my cacao powder without using processed sugars. Now I know how to and more. Thanks Dr. Greger!
The healthy chocolate shake sounds great but do remember: cocoa powder contains caffeine. If you use more than about one tablespoon, then you are getting into the territory of coffee, as long as you know that and are ok with it.
One frozen banana, one cup non dairy milk, one tablespoon cocoa powder. Blend. I use homemade cashew milk and sometimes I'll add a couple of dates and some ice cubes to make it extra thick and rich.
Embarrassing! And have I read somewhere that this is a non-commercial site. And again, haven't you heard about food combining?! Sugar with protein and… more protein (flax)?! Wholesome food indeed!
Hello Predrag1970, I see how this can be misinterpreted, but please note we are not advising anyone to choose these brands of soymilk, date sugar, or cocoa powder. The idea is more about giving practical advice, with visuals, on how to include these healthful foods (and potentially cure a sweet-tooth). If you have others that you've found helpful and delicious you are free to discuss. I don't care one way or the other what brands people choose, so long as they simply choose healthful foods.
Thanks for your comment our member feedback is important!
Please, just post the recipe in the usual recipe format and state how many servings: i.e. 1 T date sugar, 2 T cocoa, etc. Then the instructions. It really makes it easier. Also, I would vastly prefer the daily postings from Dr. Greger in transcript form, rather than video. Most of the time, there is now "see transcript" button. I absorb material better if it's in writing. In this way, I can decide to skim the article, or else put it on my favorites — or post it on facebook. Thanks for your consideration.
I meant "NO 'see transcript button'"…Sorry
Dr Greger, are the sugars in fruits and date sugar safe to consume for insulin resistant individuals? Does it prevent weight loss?
Small doses of cocoa from time to time shouldn't cause much harm but
carob powder would be healthier solution since cocoa is high in
theobromine which is linked to a higher risk of breast cancer according
to some authors. Below I included link to my article with their quotes:
I make this cold and hot on the stove..so delicious
What is your opinion of omeprazole?
Hi Mary – I thought you might the following info to be helpful. Dr. G discusses the use of proton-pump inhibitors in this video: Diet and GERD Acid Reflux Heartburn
Isn't molasses just burnt cane sugar?
Is really soy without dangers for women hormonal balance, please? I'm really confused about this subject!!!
Dr. Greger has done videos on soy that may reassure you on its safety for most women. Here's one: soy and breast cancer, but you can search in the search box at the top of this page for more. The bottom line is that non GMO soy is safe for women; in fact, in countries where there is high soy consumption, there are lower rates of breast cancer. Hope that helps!
Hi Dr. Greger – I've read that alkalizing (Dutch Process) cocoa takes away significant amounts of flavanol in chocolate. Here is a paper that talks about it. If you find it to be legitimate, you might want to alter your video to specify using non-Dutch process cocoa.
J Agric Food Chem. 2008 Sep 24;56(18):8527-33. doi: 10.1021/jf801670p. Epub 2008 Aug 19.
Impact of alkalization on the antioxidant and flavanol content of commercial cocoa powders.
Cocoa is a food ingredient that is important for the contribution of flavor to foods but is also associated with potential health benefits. The chemistry thought to be responsible for its cardiovascular health benefits is the flavanol (flavan-3-ol) antioxidants. Evidence from the literature indicates that natural cocoas are high in flavanols, but when the cocoa is processed with alkali, also known as Dutch processing or Dutching, the flavanols are substantially reduced.
Can unsweetened coconut milk be substituted?
I keep asking this question about the saturated fat in cocoa, and I am not getting any answers :(
In "How not to die" dr. Greger says that refining cocoa beans is actually a good thing, because it removes the saturated fat. But in one of his videos here he says that processed cocoa is not so good and he recommends raw cocoa powder.
So I bought some raw, unskimmed cocoa, and I checked the nutritional information, and it does contain saturated fats, around 30%. So my question is: what kind of cocoa should I be using to get all the good stuff and antioxidants from it but not the saturated fat?
I'd really appreciate a straight-up answer.
Thank you.
DR. JOE GONZALES R.D. in the UPDATE on CHOCOLATE VIDEO . DR. G. state process cocoa is less healthy the process cocoa ex dutch cocoa.. This is not followed in the video HEALTHY CHOCOLATE MILKSHAKES. In this one he is proposing fair exchange dutch processed cocoa. Please explain.
any chance to get an answer to my question that I posted above on September 28th?
Thank you.
In his video "Dark Chocolate & Artery Function" (June 27, 2014) (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/dark-chocolate-and-artery-function/?utm_content=buffer0bab5&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer), Dr. Geger notes: — Sugar isn't good for us, either. Sugar impairs arterial function. … That's why sugar-free cocoa improves arterial function better than the same amount of cocoa with sugar added. — So how does date sugar compare to added refined sugar, in their effects on cocoa powder's effects on arterial function?
Hello, is there a video regarding lead levels in blackstrap molasses? Proposition 65 in california has a warning label on the jar.
Thank you for your time.
Is cocoavia the same as raw cocoa powder? I would like to have a little chocolate in my daily food plan, and I use just one half tsp cocoavia in my oatmeal or steel cut oats or oatbran with almonds, flaxseed meal, chia seeds, and hempseeds to increase omega 3 fats. I use one tablespoon each of the last 3 ingredients. An omega 3 and 6 ratio was done in a blood test, and the results were not great, since I am vegan. I also eat one ounce of nuts each day, which consists of about ten almonds and 6 whole walnuts. I wanted to take an EPA DHA supplement, as recommended by the cardiologist who recommended Dr Greger's book which I love and also Dr Fuhrman who discusses the EPA DHA supplement in his book, but I recently was told by the cardiologist that this supplement may cause bleeding. Any info on this? I usually buy from Pure Encapsulations which was recommended to me by a professor of healthcare who is very familiar with the integrity of this company. Thank you
I have also tried making this breakfast smoothie with soy/almond milk of choice – frozen bananas – coco powder – and powdered peanut butter. Ice cubes if necessary for the right consistency. The bananas make it sweet enough – so delicious!
While I find date sugar harder to find ; I have great success with just a mejool date or two (pitted) dropped into the blender along with the cherries, cocoa, ground flax, nut milk and occasionally hemp seeds and almond butter and avocado. The avocado makes it thicker and better for a smoothie bowl with granola or seeds etc on top!
I would like to ask You about two things:
1. About plant based milk, especially hemp milk, because I'm a little confused. I'm not sure if plant milks could be call whole foods? Are they good for us? In many videos You were telling that oils are bad for our health because they're not whole foods, they haven't got their natural packages etc. Is that not the same for plant milks? They don't have all fiber, vitamines, microelements etc. Can You tell what's Your opinion?
2. About food sensivities. Ihave hashimoto disease and couple of food sensivities. One of them is gluten, especially from wheat, so I am on GF diet, and some other foods like quinoa, tomatoes, chickpeas, cachews… I avoid most of grains and all nightshades (for now), but I'm not sure I do right. Maybe my guts need some starch from grains to produce good bacteries and I should include some of those in my diet, ofcourse not wheat, but rye for example? Recently I've started reintroduce some products like lentils, pea, buckwheat, sweet patatoes. But I'm afraid of increasing my inflammation and reaction of my autoimmune system? Or is it possible to reverse these sensivities by following WFPB diet and once I heal my guts, there would be no inflamation and no food sensivities at all? Is that all about gut bacteries? Or food sensivities don't reverse? I would be very grateful for Your answer!

Jan Willem Foppen
Associate Professor of Hydrology
Jan Willem Foppen (1965) received his M.Sc. degree in Hydrogeology from the VU University in Amsterdam in 1990. After his graduation, he started to work at Natuurmonumenten (nature conservation organization), and then as a consultant at the Institute of Applied Geosciences of TNO. In 1995-1996, he was stationed in Sana'a, Yemen, where he was part of a project team aimed to identify sources for the drinking water supply of Sana'a.
In March 1998, JW joined IHE Delft and became full-time resident team leader of a capacity building project at Sana'a University in Yemen. Together with dedicated local staff, he established the Water and Environment Center, a place for Sana'a University staff to earn an additional income via consulting and training services.
In January 2004, JW started his PhD research. Inspired by poor groundwater health conditions in Sana'a, he focused on the transport of the well-known fecal indicator organism Escherichia coli in saturated porous media, whereby the aim was to extend the colloid filtration theory. This work resulted in 10 publications in peer reviewed journals, and in June 2007, he obtained his PhD degree from the VU University, Amsterdam.
Besides the transport of bacteria in the subsurface, JWs research interests include:
1) Water and sanitation in slums. JW is Principal Investigator of the British funded research project called "Experimenting with practical Transition Groundwater management strategies for the Urban Poor in Sub-Saharan Africa" (acronym T-GroUP). T-GroUP aims to identify and achieve social, technical and political changes, which are required to make the shift towards sustainable urban groundwater management in Sub-Saharan Africa with inclusion of urban poor. For more information, please click here.
From 2008-2014, JW was team leader of the research project 'Integrated approaches and strategies to address the Sanitation Crisis in Unsewered Slum Areas in African mega-cities' (SCUSA). The overall objective of the project was to sanitize urban slums in mega-cities in an environmentally sustainable manner in order to reduce downstream eutrophication. The project focused on Bwaise III, a slum located in the Lubigi catchment in Kampala, the capital of Uganda. For more details, please click here to view the SCUSA project website.
2) DNA as a marker to study hydrologic processes. In search of new tracer substances to identify hydrologic processes, JW and his team used synthetic DNA in surface water injection experiments. Synthetic DNA is a small piece of 'organic matter', 100% natural, and completely harmless. Detection of these synthetic DNA molecules is carried out by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), a method widely used in molecular microbiology, biomedical research, forensic diagnostics, etc.

text:
It's the 1970s in Norfolk, England. I'm sitting on the floor of the dank television common room at boarding school, self-consciously wedged in with a fidgeting mass of fellow boarders. My chunky National Health plastic-framed specs are glinting in the dark, refracting the onscreen car and gun chases, and hiding my gleaming eyes. It's the latest episode of British action-crime series The Professionals (1977–83); the boys like the action, we girls like Doyle and his dreamy, up-to-the-minute bubble perm and brown leather blouson bomber jacket.
Fast-forward to any weeknight in the mid 1990s in Melbourne, the witching hour, and I'm engaged in my favourite pastime. Splayed on the couch after a hard night's theatre reviewing, joint in hand, glued to a re-run of The Professionals, giggling at the cheesy sexist banter, and pondering, in some kind of arousal-induced coma, if I had to choose between them, whether I'd prefer to fuck Bodie (Lewis Collins) or Doyle (Martin Shaw).
Fifteen years later, in Melbourne in 2011, I have my third encounter with The Professionals after coming across a DVD boxed set. It's 10 bucks second-hand, and it feels like bumping into an old flame in a new city: I'm giddy, tingling all over, and momentarily very alive. Two days later, after an orgy of diplomatic incidents, car porn, the casual discharge of firearms and ogling Lewis Collins, I feel peculiar. And wholly mortal.
Third viewing round, and I'm ricocheting between periods of my life like the deadpan zingers Bodie and Doyle exchange after they've shot someone, or picked up some bird, and I'm lost in a reverie worthy of Marcel Proust's À la recherche du temps perdu. Proust was famously transported into the past by dunking a biscuit into a cup of tea, which always sounded to me a particularly lame trigger for seven volumes and 1.5 million words of internationally acclaimed reminiscence – but then here I am being jolted senseless by a few episodes of a dated British crime action TV drama…
The Professionals, a high-end action series, does not scream existential introspection no matter which way you slice it. Logan's Run it is not. It's basically the gritty English answer to Starsky & Hutch, with barnstorming theme music and what passed for ultra-violence back in the day. Bodie (ex-marine/mercenary) and Doyle (ex-cop) formed an elite team who reported only to Cowley, head of a fictional special branch called CI5, and spent their time careening around England in a silver Ford Capri, wearing the apogee of 1970s fashion, foiling assassination attempts on Greek royalty and Arab princes, kicking down doors, and casually picking up single-episode dolly birds.
The dissonance, the mortality, kicks in for me on several levels. For one, when The Professionals came out – when I was a stooping, shy and clueless schoolgirl (men with bubble perms? What was I thinking?) – that show was as 'now' as 30 Rock or The Wire is today. The clothes, the music, the hip-hugging double denim, the bald spots and combovers, and the shoe-box sized intercoms and fridge-sized 'computers' were all as familiar as the Bay City Rollers and Donny Osmond. I had a page-boy haircut, my best friend had a feathered/fluffy/flicked Farrah Fawcett-Majors thing, and every female from eight to 80 was wearing bug-ugly A-line skirts and camel-toe jeans. This was Bodie and Doyle's world, and I was just growing up in it.
J.P. Hartley wrote 'The past is a foreign country', and there's nothing like watching it replayed in a flurry of flares to feel this truth. Past generations, as previously noted, rely on the glimpse of a halfremembered face, a waft of perfume, or afternoon tea to transport them to their youth; we just have to press play. When I re-watched the show in the 1990s, it was an exercise in irony and 'OhMyGodery', pointing and ridiculing the slacks and moustaches, the beige dial-up phones, and the 'stealth' camera (the size of a torpedo) poking out of a woman's handbag.
But when I watch The Professionals today, part of me aches. I mourn. That world is so familiar and yet so primitive and abandoned – from today's perspective, the sexual politics, interior decorating and technology are as primeval as having gills. I feel deep in my bones how much time has passed, how society has moved on, how – let's face it – old I suddenly am. It's an archaeological dig, and every scene showcasing a piece of dead tech, floral wallpaper, or a man with a middle parting is another reminder that 'reality' is as ephemeral as flowers from the supermarket.
The future shock I get from The Professionals is compounded by the poor script. Not only is each hour-long episode discrete, but over the seven years the show screened, the closest you got to character development was when Bodie shifted from smart suits to snug, tailored butter-soft suede jackets, Cowley lost his limp, and Doyle's bubble perm grew two inches.
There are no relationships outside of the Cowley/Doyle/Bodie triangle. There are no consequences to their actions beyond the confines of the hour episode. There is, simply, no continuity whatsoever. If you squint really hard, you can see glimmers of The Professionals in shows like The Wire: in the brutality, and in the illumination of the corruption, self-interest and weakness of politicians and the higher-up brass, but the ancestry is so far removed that in terms of evolution, you're comparing apes to Jimmy McNulty. On some level I am confused and embarrassed that, not so long ago, The Professionals was fresh, controversial and groundbreaking.
But it returns, as it always does with me and The Professionals, to the ludicrous sexual allure of Lewis Collins and Martin Shaw. I am not alone in this. I did a recent Facebook poll on 'Who would you root, Bodie or Doyle?', and the replies included 'Both. So both', 'Bodie, then Doyle, then both of them', and 'Both, while Cowley watches'. Their utter hotness is the one thing about the show that hasn't dated, and whatever else The Professionals lacked, it made up for it in plucking Collins and Shaw at the peak of their desirability and having them wear bondage-tight leather shoulder gun-holsters.
I've literally tracked my development as a woman by my responses to Bodie and Doyle. As a girl, I liked Doyle, the 'sensitive' one. He was pretty. He had wide, big-cat, sleepy eyes, jutting Slavic cheekbones, and a mouth that looked slightly bruised, as though he'd just crawled out of bed. Not that I knew that when I was 15. Doyle had a manly whack of chest hair, which we often saw when the narrative frequently required him to strip to the waist. Given that I was then at the handholding and squealing point of the sexual spectrum, that was more than enough. I barely noticed Bodie existed.
In the 1990s, Doyle faded away like a message on thermal fax paper, and I spent many hours drinking in Lewis Collins, and wondering how I could have got it so wrong. Bodie's attributes, invisible when I was a girl, suddenly burst into high-definition, like a Magic Eye. Bodie was the 'hard' one. Dangerous, lean, well fit, cropped hair, raised rakish eyebrow, blue eyes, full lips, a cold heart, and an endless supply of Michael Caine-style skin-tight roll-neck sweaters. Working-class and showcased against the backdrop of weak-chinned, ineffectual and privileged world of international diplomacy, Bodie glowed white-hot as an archetypal piece of supernova-grade rough trade. I would have crawled naked over broken glass to get to him.
Fifteen years on and they're both still stunning, but my lust is bittersweet rather than the classic variety. This is partly because I no longer find someone being an ex-mercenary/bounty hunter with emotional issues a turn-on, no matter how cheeky his grin. It's also because, in the throes of warm-knickered nostalgia, I was inspired to Google. This was the point where mortality wound back and bitch-slapped me. Martin Shaw and Lewis Collins are old men: how in hell did that happen?
And when I say old, I mean old. Pensioners. They're both 65. Grizzled, loose-necked and thick in the face. Martin Shaw is rocking the older statesman look, but still, no question, two generations down the track. The last time I had a shock of that severity I was 12 years old, got disoriented at a distant relative's house in the middle of the night, fell down the stairs and broke my nose. A monumental 'What the…?' moment. Bodie and Doyle have always just been there for me – prime, smokin' real estate – and it never occurred to me that beyond the episodic limits of CI5, Lewis Collins and Martin Shaw were offscreen somewhere getting grey and barrel-waisted, about as likely to run 100 feet in 10 seconds and vault a wall as I am to invent the next Facebook.
The ennui I feel is partly for myself – there's no avoiding the concomitant realisation that my youth bus has left the station – but also for Collins and Shaw. Particularly Collins. Martin Shaw is a fine, prolific actor and still working; for him The Professionals was only one gig of many. But Lewis Collins, bless his armament-loving heart, has withered on the vine since he was the most shaggable tough guy in the free world. Listing shooting, Ju-Jitsu and parachuting amongst his hobbies, he was perfectly cast as Bodie, but he's no Sir John Gielgud, if you get my drift.
Life moves on for all of us, but it's tough to have peaked at 30. There are scant photos around of Lewis that aren't from his Professionals days; it's like he ceased to exist. There are days I feel like that myself. If I keep on schedule, the next time I watch The Professionals I'll be as old as Collins and Shaw are now, and they'll probably be dead. I wonder which one I'll want to fuck then?

text: Did fintech deliver in 2019? /review/Pages/Infographic-10-fintech-trends-to-watch-in-2019.aspx Did fintech deliver in 2019? Summary From the growth of quantum computing and fintech regulation, to the diversification of cryptocurrency and investment in digital transformation, we look at the predictions for the fintech sector in 2019: those that came true – and those that didn't Last updated December 2019 First published on December 17, 2018 Image ContentAt the end of 2018, there were big expectations for the growth of the fintech sector and its disruption to financial services in 2019. According to PwC, global investments in fintech have more than tripled since 2014 to over US$12 billion and 80% of technology, media and telecommunications companies are creating jobs related to fintech, to point to just two examples. As 2019 draws to a close, we look at whether these fintech predictions for the year came true. Expansion of decentralized payment appsVerdict: trueOne of blockchain's better received offerings, decentralized finance (DeFi) means financial records are not stored in a centralized server, making them more secure. In June 2019, the value of DeFi projects reached a peak at an equivalent of nearly US$700 million.Honesty will win in GDPRVerdict: in progressAs businesses finally started to get to grips with the GDPR, it was the organizations transparently sourcing consumer data, using opt-in models, that were expected to hold the advantage. In 2019, businesses have invested in their GDPR practices, including hiring Data Protection Officers (DPOs), the demand for which has risen by over 700%. Fines for the companies not conforming have also been implemented in the past 12 months, the most notable being Google's fine of €50 million in January 2019.Growth of quantum computingVerdict: not yet…With excitement surrounding the ability of quantum computing to redefine the limits of processing power, 2019 hasn't seen the progress that many hoped for and these machines aren't yet in use. However, there have been promising developments: researchers at the University of Science and Technology of China reported a record 6.5 billion-fold gain in the number of ways a quantum computer system can be configured.Diversification of cryptocurrencyVerdict: trueAfter the dramatic rise and fall of bitcoin (which saw trading prices fall from US$19,783 at the end of 2017 to US$13,500 at the start of 2018), people expected the number of different cryptocurrencies to grow – which it did. In 2019, 236 cryptocurrencies began trading for the first time.NFC payment chips implanted in humansVerdict: falseIt started in Sweden in 2015, but despite media attention, the number of humans that have chosen to be 'microchipped' is small. However, eyes remain on Sweden, where disruptive technology companies are working toward a cash-free society that functions purely using microchip implants.Regulation in fintechVerdict: not yet…The fintech sector saw significant growth in 2018, surpassing the 2017 total in the first six months. Much of this was attributed to the sector's lack of regulation, and as a result many expected 2019 would become the year of fintech regulation. As the year draws to a close, we have seen fintech move from under the radar, and is now attracting growing regulatory responses and supervisory scrutiny.Algorithms to asses consumers for non-traditional lendersVerdict: trueThe non-traditional – or alternative – lending market, that uses algorithms and AI to assess credit profiles, has seen continued growth in 2019, as the small- and medium-sized business (SMB) market looks to non-traditional lenders. In 2019, one such platform, Kabbage, secured US$200 million of revolving credit and a US$700 million securitization agreement (the pooling of assets so they can be repacked into interest-bearing securities). PayPal, another popular peer-to-peer (P2P) lending service, is predicting a 42.7% five-year compound annual growth rate that will reach US$574 billion by 2023. RegTech help banks and lenders comply with regulationVerdict: trueAs regulation in the fintech sector is expected to grow, with it will come the need for RegTech: AI-powered regulation technology that will help financial institutions make sense of large volumes of regulatory data. The current RegTech market stands at US$4.3 billion, but this is expected to grow to US$12 billion by 2023.Moreover, a study by the University of Cambridge Judge Business School finds that 48% of businesses use RegTech solutions for the regulatory management of information and tools, while 49% of buyers use the navigation and implementation of new and existing regulations as their motivation for purchase. Digital-only banks continue Verdict: trueThis has certainly been seen in 2019. In the first six months of 2019, five million people opened an account with a digital-only bank in the UK: a customer acquisition growth rate of 170%. Moreover, the global reach of digital-only banks is expected to hit more than 35 million people within the next 12 months, trebling the size of their existing customer base. Revolut is one example of a successful online bank that offers innovative solutions, such as the ability to round up all spending to the nearest whole number, moving the 'leftover' change into a savings account.Huge investments in digital transformationVerdict: trueThe 2019 global spend on digital transformation, to boost efficiency and security, is expected to reach US$1.18 trillion by the end of this year, an increase of 17.9% from 2017. As predicted, the largest sector investment is the financial sector, which is predicted to have a compound annual growth rate of 20.4% between 2017 and 2022.

Amazing what water in the rivers can do at this time of year - three days left to season end.
Another report received from Jim Irving this evening reads:-
Jeremy Macbeth caught and returned a salmon of 10lbs from the Eals pool on the Tyne. Another member caught and kept a clean fish of the same weight from the same pool. Jeremy then went to the Rede and his first cast at the bottom of the Ingram pool caught what he thought was a big salmon but it escaped to live another day.
Jim Irving had a blank on the Tyne in the morning despite loads of fish so he also went to the Rede. Nothing from the Ingram down over until the head of the Cliff pool and a nice sea trout of 4lb caught and safely returned

|Consent & Confidentiality in Adolescent Health Care
Adolescent Consent & Confidentiality: The Need in Health Care
Adolescent consent and confidentiality is an area of concern in the delivery of health care to this patient population. Lack of information in this area is a barrier to optimal health care and communication with the patient and the patient's family. Studies have shown that many physicians and other clinicians who deal with these issues on a daily basis are uncertain of the management guidelines established for confidential care for adolescents.
In 1999, a committed group of clinicians, in partnership with local stakeholders, legal counsel and risk management provided by MICA, developed the first edition of the "Consent & Confidentiality in Adolescent Health Care: A Guide for Arizona Health Care Clinicians."
The "Guide" has undergone a complete revision under the direction of a committed group of physicians and clinicians invested in adolescent health. The revision offers updated language to reflect current methodologies in engaging adolescents and family members in health care decision-making. It features new, topical case scenarios and now features a toolkit with items such as office policy, staff training quiz, a powerpoint presentation, and handouts for teens and parent engagement. The Guide is launching on March 22 in conjunction with Global Teen Health Week.
ArMA is proud to partner with the Arizona Chapter, American Academy of Pediatrics (AzAAP) to offer the latest revision of the "Guide" for widespread use throughout Arizona. This edition is offered as a toolkit, with the following components available for download here:
ArMA gratefully acknowledges the contributions of those who worked to update the guide, including Karla Birkholz, MD, Vinny Chulani, MD, Pamela Murphy, MD, Leslie Quinn, MD, Julie Ritzman, MBA (MICA), Kristin Stookey, CRNP, and legal editors Snell & Wilmer. We are also grateful to the HonorHealth CME program for their interest in the topic and in developing an online course based on the release of this new edition.

Archive for the 'Hoysala Architecture' Category
The Bucheswara Temple – Koravangala, Hassan District
This is the last place of visit on my second day. Even though i was not exhausted, i was a little bored with the monotonous visits to temples. I feel that when we plan a trip, it must contain a mix of different types of places, and this i realized after making a couple of trips like this 🙂 . It was almost 4 when i visited this temple. It is again situated in a nice picturesque location and beautiful with all the coconut trees. A nice lawn has been established near the temple premises which creates a good ambience and pleasant atmosphere in the evenings.
Koravangala is a small town 12 kilometres from Hassan on the Hassan -> Arsikere road. Inscriptions around the temple site give us an idea of the temple's construction and the various grants it received. One of them specifies the name of Bhutanatha Raja or Buchi Raja, a Brahmin officer from the family that serves Hoysala king Narasimha I, as the man who constructed it. The inscription also states consecration of the temple coincided with the coronation of King Ballala in 1173. Though originally built over a large platform, today it stands almost equal to the ground.
I enter the temple complex from the rear end. The entrance is very small and guarded by elephants. There are beautifully carved dwarapalaka statues on either side. This entrance leads to a mukhamantapa which is supported by 32 pillars. The ceiling is partitioned into 13 parts and each is carved beautifully with lotus flowers. Once you cross the mukhamantapa you enter the navaranga which has neatly carved ceilings. The northern part of it has an enticing image of Krishna. On the lintel, above the entrance, a fine image of Gaja Lakshmi is also found. Idols of Ganapathi, Saraswathi and Saptha Matrikas adorn the corners of the. On the right side is a figure of Dakshina Murthy. The antarala is supported by 8 pillars, four of which are star shaped.
The sanctum sanctorum has a huge Sivalinga made of Blackstone. As usual, there is a Nandi statue in front. There is a small shrine on the left of the sanctum dedicated to Ganesha. The Vimana above the Garbhagriha is made of soapstone. It consists of turrets in four tears with numerous sculptures. An exquisite Hoysala crest adorns the Vimana's facade. Every section of the temple has wonderful sculptures that mark this temple out from many others.
A row of large idols carved in single and double pilasters with turrets above them adorn the outer walls. Figures of Vishnu, Narasimha, Varaha, Venugopala, Natya Saraswathi, Kaliyamardana Krishna, etc. can be found there. On the wall panel the carving of the Gajendramoksha sequence is absolute marvel.
Apart from the Bucheswara Temple, there are two other temples in the vicinity but they are in a very bad shape. They have been completely ignored and the place is filled with vegetation and stench. The structure of the temples is good in some sections. The pillars are damaged in one of the sides which may weaken the entire structure. Most of the pillars in the mukhamantapa inside are still good and they lead to a small sanctum which has a pedestal for the Sivalinga. There is an inscription on a stone slab written in Kannada.The outer sides of the temples are designed with turrets as the Bucheswara Temple and extremely beautiful.
As this was the last stop for the day, i leisurely roamed around and was there for half an hour. I then went back to my stay in Hassan town. I was looking forward to my next day's trip. I had a good time off before the tiring and fun experience in Sravanabelagola.

This would make a good riddle if we had a witty answer. Still, you will want to know the answer since it can affect your heath and that of other around you.
When walking into a spotless office building we feel in a clean environment. In fact, by definition "clean" means 'free from dirt'. Sometimes though a secondary meaning of clean is forgotten; a clean environment is also 'free of pollutants' (Definition Source). We often use this meaning when talking about clean water. A clean glass of water is usually product of a filtering process that removes both the visible and invisible unwanted elements. So a truly clean building is also free of bacteria, viruses and other contaminates too.
It is impossible to remove 100% of all contamination when cleaning, but a few simple tips could significantly improve your results. Please take a look at the 2 tips below and let us know what you think. Even if the Buzz Brite Team cleans your office regularly, some ideas may help you to clean-up between visits.
- Use the right products: Products tend to be specific to certain needs. For example the best stain removing products usually don't have bacteria killing properties. For this reason, some time a surface may need to be wiped using multiple products to ensure the best possible cleanliness.
- Know where to find the germs: The most effective way of controlling germ cross-contamination is your hands regularly through out the day. But unfortunately not everyone give the same importance to this practice. So wiping of the common cross contamination surfaces like phone, door handles and light switches can significantly improve the sanitation of your office space.
We hope these points have helped you to see the meaning of 'clean' from a different light. Share your thoughts with us by emailing email@example.com or connecting with us on Twitter or Facebook.

Innovolt Launches Presence in South Africa; Move Signifies Company's Global Expansion
06 Mar, 2012, 14:30 GMT
ATLANTA, March 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
- Leader in Electronics Power Protection and Management Extends Technology to Areas in Need
Innovolt, a pioneer and leader in intelligent electronics power protection and management, today announced its global expansion, leading with the South African market. The company's technology is poised for success in South African and sub Saharan markets through a number of existing channel relations, in part, because of the volatile state of Africa's power supply and the imperative need for improved electronics protection. Innovolt has staffed a General Manager focused on leading the company's sales efforts in South Africa and the proximate sub Saharan countries and will continue to staff in the region as needed.
Power in South Africa: Tremendous Threat to Electronics
Power protection and management is truly a global issue and one that is dramatically illustrated throughout South Africa, with its constant rolling blackouts and power failures. Africa accounts for more than one-sixth of the world's population, but generates only four percent of global electricity. In 2007, the New York Times reported that 25 of the 44 sub-Saharan nations faced crippling electricity shortages, a power crisis that experts were calling unprecedented[1]. While these shortages are known for disrupting life and workflow, the impact of disturbances, coupled with the antiquated power grid, wreaks havoc on all electronic equipment.
"Africa's population growth has surpassed the infrastructure that is currently in place, and the South African market, specifically, has a tremendous need for improved power supply -- which will not happen in the short term. Those living and working in the region suffer through some of the worst conditions worldwide when it comes to power disturbances. We've created a solution that can minimize the negative impact of poor power on electronics," states Jeff Spence, COO and president of Innovolt. "Because of Innovolt's intelligent power protection and management, the company is aiding South Africa in its future growth. Our technology has been tested, proven and is fit for this part of the world."
Protection Landscape
Today's electronics are pervasive with the vast majority of equipment deployed with insufficient protection, resulting in damage from disturbances on power grids that are remarkably chaotic and caustic. To date, electronics protection choices worldwide have been limited to either under-functioning surge protectors for aftermarket consumer use or unwieldy, over-priced technologies such as uninterruptable power supply (UPS). The Innovolt technology is accessible to and effective for all AC powered electronics.
"The power issues that are seen globally are not to be ignored. Electronic equipment continues to advance and become more digital, however the power supply remains antiquated," adds Spence. "Innovolt's technology is filling a huge void, disrupting the marketplace with both functionality and cost. Now we are taking the opportunity to build off our successes and expand into new regions."
Cost-effective, highly scalable and integratable, Innovolt's proprietary and patented electronics protection technology is proven to significantly increase product reliability and lifespan. Since 2009, Innovolt has successfully provided proven electronics protection for hundreds of millions of dollars of installed systems, mainly in the commercial and industrial markets. In late 2011, the company announced that its technology is available for licensing.

Read the Review Transcript:
Hey, this is Jeff. I just got finished skiing the Salomon Q 85. I give this ski a 4.5 out of 5. Lots of fun. Wood core but really snappy, really lively, really solid underfoot. Very easy to make really quick turns but wide enough that you can take it through some transitional snow or even some fresh powder if you got it. Would be great in the bumps. Really enjoyed this ski so 4.5 out of 5 for the Salomon Q 85.
Read the Review Transcript:
Hi, I'm Kevin. I just got off the brand new Salomon Q 85. I give this ski 4.5 out of 5 stars. Really good solid ski for that progressing intermediate or advanced skier on a budget that skiing mostly frontside probably 80% of the time but does want to venture off-trail or into the trees a little bit here and there. Really quick, responsive, turn initiation. Solid through the middle of the turn with this vertical sidewall under the foot and a lot of pop. I was able to get a lot of edging relation out of this ski so it was a really fun frontside all-mountain ski.
Read the Review Transcript:
I'm Adam and I was just skiing on the Salomon Quest 85. I give this ski 4 out of 5 stars. It makes a great ski for the intermediate to advanced skier who's looking to get into some more variable terrain, venture into some off-piste. 85 at the waist is still very maneuverable and quick to turn and carve but with its rocker profile construction, it's very, very lively especially if you want a quicker turning ski into unbroken snow. 4 out of 5.
Read the Review Transcript:
Hi, this is Hans. I just came off the Salomon Quest 85. If you're an intermediate skier, you try to venture out a little bit, get your first little bit wider ski, this would be a great ski for you. It's that transition ski to a wider, powder ski or all-mountain ski. I give this ski 4 out of 5. But again, it's for an intermediate ski. Anybody heavy on this ski will probably twitch a little bit. Real nice all-mountain ski.
Read the Review Transcript:
Hey, I'm Mike. I just got done skiing the Salomon Q 85. I'm going to give this ski a 4 out of 5 stars. It's got a unique tip shape so it's going to start to float above the powder a little bit if you get into it but it's still a very versatile ski. It excels well in just about all conditions. Every turn shape it will make with ease. It's very stable, very forgiving. A very fun ski so if you're an intermediate all the way up through an advanced level skier, I think this would be a good ski for you. Again, the Q 85 from Salomon. 4 out of 5.
Read the Review Transcript:
Hi, I'm Ryan. I just got off the Salomon Quest 85. I give this ski a 4 out of 5 star rating. The big thing with this ski, it's really quick edge changes. The lightweight of this ski makes it really easy to move around. A good great carving ski if you're looking for an all-mountain ski that will bust through crud and allow you to get off the groomers every once in a while.
Read the Review Transcript:
Hey, I'm Steve. I just got off the Salomon Q 85. This is a solid ski. 4 out of 5 stars. See you riding in powder, having a blast. Frontside groomers, popping in and out of trees. Solid short radius and long radius turns. Again, the Q 85. 4 out of 5 stars.

A Potted Poulet Saves the Day
It was a natural impulse: When my food-obsessed friend Rachel and I were planning our trip to Paris, we decided to rent an apartment rather than stay in a hotel. It was going to be cheaper, but we also would be able to cook from the markets instead of going out to eat -- at least part of the time.
Yeah, right. We've been here since Saturday, in a sixth-floor apartment on the Ile-Saint-Louis, right in the middle of it all. Our list of must-try restaurants has been so ever-growing and -changing (Rachel even sketched out a grid calendar so we could keep up) that the thought of staying in and cooking never managed to win us over on any given day.
That is, until Tuesday, when the night looked like it would be rain-free enough to serve a meal on the little roof deck. Rachel's colleague, Elisabet, was in town and looking forward to a low-key night, so here was our chance.
We had done a kitchen inventory: olive oil, salt and pepper, a few basic pots and pans (including one biggish sauté pan that could go in the oven); a ginormous cook's knife (razor-sharp) plus a honing steel, a wine opener, and, only in Paris, a cheese knife; four working (gas!) burners. What more did we need?
Well, food. It was too late in the day to hit an outdoor market, so we made our way to Le Grande Epicerie Paris, the food store attached to Bon Marche, where we spent 34 euros on a 2-kilo-plus chicken.
You read that right: $48 for about 4 1/2 pounds. But this isn't just any chicken. This was one of the famous Bresse chickens, with blue feet and head attached. The Guardian called it the world's most pampered chicken, so I was determined to roast it the way I usually do, with garlic and lemon and parsley stuffed in the cavity and under the skin. After our bird was chosen, the chicken man asked us if we wanted its innards (non, merci) and then quickly dispatched its head and feet, trussed it beautifully with a few quick movements of hand, knife and string, then sealed it in a bag.
We also bought white asparagus, little potatoes, the teensiest heads of Romaine I've ever seen, butter with fleur de sel, white anchovies and wines: a cheap, lighter pinot noir and a bigger, more expensive Bordeaux. There was a slight meltdown at the register when were sent out of line to weigh things we didn't realize needed to be pre-weighed, but other than that, mission accomplished.
That is, until we made our way back to our little island apartment, crammed into the two-person elevator with our bags, fumbled with keys to get from the elevator directly into the apartment, then dropped everything the galley kitchen. That's when we realized the one thing we hadn't checked off was...oven. There wasn't one. So much for roasting.
Elisabet was due in a half-hour, but no worries. I crammed the chicken into the biggest pot (breaking its backbone to get it in there), chopped some garlic and onion for the pot, and glugged in about two-thirds of the bottle of pinot. Voila! Poulet au pot. It was too late to truly follow David Hagedorn's recent recipe for such, so I winged it, so to speak.
I steamed beautiful baby potatoes in a little saucepan, and did the same with thick white asparagus, which are in season here now, in a sauté pan. We also had farm-fresh eggs from a previous market visit, so I figured: Why not make a quick mayo for the asparagus? Twenty minutes of whisking with a fork proved I needed a real whisk, but also that a thin mayo makes a pretty decent approximation of Hollandaise, with olive oil standing in for clarified butter.
We passed platters up the scariest little staircase and out to the roof deck, and dug in. The chicken was tender and full of flavor -- and not just from the wine, either. Was it worth $48? Just this once, sure. But I hear that some of the cheaper -- much cheaper -- chickens are better suited to roasting, actually, so now I know what I'll do next time. That is, if I have an oven.

I'm a complete convert to Chicken in a Pot. I like it better than roasted in it's own right, but I tried it because my roasted fowls are never quite *right* (I cook the rest of Thanksgiving but my friend roasts the bird). Sounds like you had a terrific meal with good company. Lovely.

During the 1950's and 1960's, the Chicago Bears were famed for their ferocious, highly effective defensive teams that made the Bears perennial championship contenders in the National Football League.
During most of these years, the Bears' defensive wheelhorse was middle linebacker Bill George, a 6-2, 230-pound Wake Forest product who stepped into a new position evolving in pro football in the early 50s and who did the job so well that few have ever matched his proficiency.
Bill starred in the NFL for 15 years and his premier performances have never been forgotten. Proof of this comes from his 1974 election into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The sport's highest honor was formally bestowed on Bill and the other three members of the 1974 class-Tony Canadeo, Lou Groza and Dick (Night Train) Lane-at ceremonies at the pro gridiron showplace on July 27, 1974.
It can be debated whether George was actually the first to play the middle linebacker position, at least regularly. What cannot be disputed are his innovative contributions to the new position and the quality of his play.
An all-America tackle at Wake Forest, the Waynesburg, PA., native was a second-round draft choice of the Bears in 1951. When he reported for play in the 1952 season, he was inserted at the middle guard position since all-Pro teams were using a five-man defensive front in those days.
George stayed there until sometime in 1954, when, during a Bears' game with the Eagles, something happened that had profound effect on the future of pro football play. In his middle guard spot, George's primary duty on passing situations was to bump the center from a tree-point stance and then drop back. This particular day, the Philadelphia quarterback was completing a lot of short passes just over George's head.
George remarked to George Connor, the Bears' defensive captain and left side linebacker: "Hell, I could break up those passes if I didn't have to hit that offensive center first."
"What are you hitting him for, then?" Connor shot back. "Why don't you go for the ball?"
The first time Bill tried that maneuver, the surprised quarterback's pass hit him in the stomach. The next time, Bill had his first pro interception, the first of 18 he would get in his career. It wasn't long before most pro teams were trying the same maneuver.
Within three years, even the wire services had dropped the middle guard position and added a third linebacker spot on all pro teams. Not surprisingly, George, who had been all-league middle guard in 1955 and 1956, started winning all-NFL linebacker honors in 1957 and he continued for five straight years into 1961. Bill won the honor an eighth time in 1963.
At the time of George's emergence as a possible superstar, the Bears' defensive fortunes were handled by the revered football tactician, Clark Shaughnessy. Assistant coach Shaughnessy certainly taught George a huge amount of defensive strategy, it is also true that Bill was an ideal pupil, many times plotting Shaughnessy-type maneuvers in advance of his daily lesson. George took over the Bears' defensive signal calling responsibilities after Connor retired in 1955 and he held the job for most of a decade.
"Bill George was the first great middle linebacker," former Bears coach, Abe Gibron, said at the time of Bill's Hall of Fame election. " He brought all the romance and charisma to the position. He was like having Clark Shaughnessy on the field. He called all the plays and had a special knack for it."
The Bears' ace is also credited with putting a premature end to the shotgun formation with which the San Francisco 49ers terrorized the opposition for a brief period in the early 1960s.
He did the job simply by moving back to what amounted to the old middle guard position, lining up on the shoulder of the 49ers center. When the ball was snapped, Bill barreled straight ahead, right past the San Francisco center right into the quarterback, sometimes arriving almost simultaneously with the ball. Meanwhile, the defensive ends were occupying themselves with the receivers that might otherwise flood into George's vacated zone.
It was a disastrous afternoon for the 49ers. In two previous games, they had amasses more than 1000 yards total offense. Against the Bears, they managed only 132 yards. They quickly curtailed their use of the shotgun. The Bears were a blitzing team during much of George's tenure and the middle linebacker was one of the best.
You've got to put constant pressure on the good quarterbacks," George insisted. "One time, we went into a tree-man line with eight players in the secondary to face Johnny Unitas and he still picked us to pieces. You just can't let the good quarterbacks get set."
The rugged Pennsylvanian was also involved in many a controversy over his defensive calls that were timed to coincide with the cadence of the enemy quarterback. A game against Los Angeles in 1960 proved to be a particularly bitter episode.
"The Rams were going on a quick count and any Bear who suspected this was supposed to yell: "Backs set!", George later explained. "Actually, there were a lot of people on our team yelling and the Rams could have changed everything simply by changing their count."
But George was already a villain in the eyes of the Rams fans because of another "incident" a few years earlier when coach George Halas installed a radio receiver in Bill's helmet and "broadcast" defensive instructions to his middle linebacker direct from the bench. NFL Commissioner Bert Bell quickly declared the procedure illegal but the villain's reputation stuck.
Bill, who had all of the ideal middle linebacker qualities-size, speed, strength, and intelligence-was at the height of his career when he was injured in an automobile accident just after the 1961 season. Examination showed sever neck damage between the fifth and sixth vertebra. Bill had a stiff neck for more than a year and, the next season in 1962, he played with intense pain the entire year. He missed making the all-NFL team for the first time since 1954.
A less dedicated competitor might have retired right then and there but he decided to give it one more try in 1963. That year, Shaughnessy retired from the Bears' coaching staff and, to the surprise of almost everyone, George was relieved of his defensive signal calling responsibilities. While the move rankled the big Syrian, he was determined to play better than ever. With the pain from the neck injury somewhat eased, he did just that. The Bears won their first NFL title since 1946.
So Bill, who had played out his option in 1963, signed again with the Bears. On November 1, 1964, he was given a big day by Bears fans with the usual presentation of an automobile, TV set and assorted smaller gifts at a pre-game ceremony. A few minutes after the game began, George suffered severe knee damage and missed the final six games of the season. It was the first time George had ever missed a game because of a football injury.
More injuries and the appearance of Dick Butkus as heir apparent to the middle linebacking role cut Bill's playing time to two games in 1965. He asked for and received his release from the Bears before the 1966 season and was quickly picked up by George Allen in Los Angeles. Bill played all 14 games for the Rams in his final campaign in 1966.
After his retirement, George returned to the Chicago and he has remained close to the Bears ever since. He was the first assistant hired when Gibron took over the Chicago head job in 1972.
If the bears have a warm feeling for Bill George, it can be easily explained. He was the 14th long-tenured member of the team to be honored with Hall of Fame selection and he played with the Bears 14 years. Few Bears ever lasted so long! And only a very few as well!

According to the International Labour Organization (ILO), an agency of the United Nations, extreme and moderate poverty in Hungary could be eliminated for about USD 17 million (HUF 3.4 billion) — that's 0.01 percent of Hungary's GDP. Living in extreme and moderate poverty means one lives on less than USD 3.10 purchasing power parity (PPP) per capita per day.
Last year, Eurostat found that almost 10 percent of Hungarian workers live in relative poverty (even after receiving state support!), which means they earn less than 60 percent of the median income. Eurostat's figures for 2016 showed an increase of almost 2.6 percent since 2014.
The Hungarian government argues that its public employment scheme has provided a great opportunity for the unemployed to enter the labor market and reduce poverty. This policy is the largest in the country and employs over 200,000 people, but according to the European Commission the scheme does not sufficiently reintegrate workers into the open labor market.
The Commission has also found that poverty among children and Roma remains particularly high. A significant proportion of employed Roma work in the public works scheme. Their effective integration into the open labor market remains limited so far.
According to the Commission, in Hungary "the adequacy and coverage of social assistance and unemployment benefits is limited. The duration of unemployment benefits is still the lowest in the EU at 3 months, below the average time required by job seekers to find employment. The 2015 social assistance reform streamlined the benefits system but it does not seem to have guaranteed a uniform and minimally adequate living standard for those in need."

It's easy to tell someone I love them, but do I always show love? Not as often as I should. Yikes!
I'm reminded of a phone call I received. The stranger at the other end had a tiny voice. I strained to listen. I grew agitated because I had to keep saying, "pardon me." I'm sure she heard the edge in my voice.
After I hung up I realized maybe I didn't hear her because I'm losing my hearing (I hope not). I didn't show love that day, instead I let "self" run the show.

TV Ratings: 'Big Little Lies' Now Outpacing 'The Night Of'
It's becoming a rather fun wait-and-see to learn how HBO series are really performing as its audience becomes more and more scattered.
Save the premiere night draw of Game of Thrones, the pay cable network doesn't see truly impressive ratings until on-demand, encores and, increasingly, its various OTT platforms factor in. In the case of Big Little Lies, that factoring is apparently quite substantial. A Monday release from the network says that more than 7 million viewers have been tuning in to Big Little Lies once all eyes are tallied.
Six weeks into its brief, seven-week run, Big Little Lies is outpacing how many viewers summer 2016 breakout The Night Of was pulling before its finale. That limited series, considered likely to reappear in some manifestation down the line, ultimately averaged 8.2 million viewers for HBO.
Available data also implies that Big Little Lies is gaining viewers as the finale approaches. Sunday's episode reached 2 million viewers on premiere night. Most first-run episodes have hovered around the 1-million mark, with live-plus-3 improving it to only 1.8 million viewers — translating to what seems to be a smaller and smaller reliance on DVR.
But Big Little Lies is signing off almost as soon as it arrived. This coming April 2 marks the series finale.

The Daytime Emmys will go on, but on which network remains a question.
The New York-based National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) is in negotiations with at least two networks, according to sources.
What is likely is that the ceremony will air June 27 (a Sunday) in the West, likely at the Las Vegas Hilton.
With daytime TV's downturn, the Daytime Emmys have been a ship without a port in recent years. The daytime soap business has been on the decline, with fewer on the air. Ratings for daytime syndicated TV shows also have fallen off, and for the most part, viewers tune into the Daytime Emmys to see their favorite soap stars.
Auds are less interested in seeing Judge Judy and Pat Sajak wear the latest fashions on the red carpet, and daytime's biggest draw, Oprah Winfrey, stopped entering the contest after dominating the awards for years.
And so over the past 10 years, Daytime Emmys viewership has dropped by 10 million viewers. In 2000, the show aired on ABC on May 19 (a Friday), with nearly 13 million viewers watching. The show turned in a 4.1 rating/13 share among adults 18-49 and a 4.9/13 among adults 25-54, the demographic at which daytime television is aimed.
Every year since then, ratings for the awards show have fallen precipitously. In its last outing on a major broadcast network — on ABC on June 20, 2008 — the Daytime Emmy Awards attracted only 5.4 million viewers and did a 1.2/4 in adults 18-49, a 1.6/5 among adults 25-54.
Last year, the show struggled to find a network home or a primetime slot. The show was originally slated to air on CBS, which at the time was home to four soap operas, but the network ultimately passed, citing the declining ratings and resulting low financial returns.
CBS also was less interested in airing the annual soap-focused kudocast because the network was in the process of at least partially exiting the soap-opera business. Last fall, "Guiding Light" went off the air and was replaced by a remake of "Let's Make a Deal," hosted by Wayne Brady. This fall, "As the World Turns" will go out the door after airing on the Eye for 54 years. Remaining on CBS' air are daytime's highest rated soap, "The Young and the Restless," and the only halfhour soap, "The Bold and the Beautiful."
The option to broadcast the show passed to ABC, which also declined, saying it had no money in its budget to produce and air another awards show. ABC airs three soap operas — "General Hospital," "One Life to Live" and "All My Children" — and has managed to stay in the soap business by drastically reducing the costs of producing these sudsers. ABC's parent company, Disney, also owns cable network SoapNet, which gives these shows a second life on cable.
ABC and CBS' decisions to pass forced NATAS to seek a new broadcast partner, which it found in the CW, a network with a much smaller circulation that targets its programming to young women. The show was shot at the Orpheum Theater in Hollywood, with Associated Television Intl. producing and Emmy-winning producer David McKenzie exec producing. MGM Worldwide Television Distribution handled worldwide distribution, selling the show internationally to defray costs and increase revenue.
The time it took to finding that new partner and complete negotiations pushed the awards show all the way back to Aug. 30, until it was airing just weeks before the Primetime Emmys. In the past, the Daytime Emmys have aired as early as late April but only as late as the end of June.
Sources say the CW is again a candidate to air the Daytime Emmys, even though last year's ratings hit rock bottom. In 2009, the show's audience declined by half, with only 2.7 million viewers tuning in. The program didn't even manage a 1.0 rating among adults 18-49, squeaking out an anemic 0.6/2. Among adults 25-54, the show did just a bit better at a 0.8/2.
