Earlier today, the Age Well Community Council of Danbury in partnership with the United Way of Western Connecticut presented a summit focusing on older adults and food security. They gathered together residents and leaders from Danbury area businesses, libraries, faith groups, hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, physician groups, community groups, and senior centers to discuss ways to increase awareness, access, and advocacy for this important issue.
In addition to a keynote address by Jaime S. Foster, PhD, RD from the Connecticut Food Bank, the summit featured a video that shared stories from local Danbury seniors and their struggles with food security. For those who were unable to attend the summit, we invite you to view the video below.

The course of a fever
In order to support and control a fever, it is necessary to be able to identify the different stages trough which a fever passes. There are three clearly distinguishable phases: the period of the fever's onset, the initial rise (this period is fully established when the fever reaches its height), and the end phase (which is characterized by the fall of the body's temperature).
The onset period
Generally the germs responsible for infections enter the body in such small number and do not immediately find favourable conditions for multiplying, so the damage they are able to cause is minimal. It is only when germs multiply that the damage they cause can become dangerous. The multiplication of germs is a process that can have a protracted duration. A fever can therefore take a few hours or several days to start climbing.
Because the attack made on the body's tissues takes place only gradually, likewise, the work of neutralizing, destroying, and eliminating the germs is implemented little by little. In the beginning, the defense system reactions are neither specific nor localized. The body's defenses are of a general nature at this point, for while the body has detected an infection, the white blood cells have not yet determined the exact nature of the attacker nor the specific measures it needs to implement to fight it.
At this stage of the illness, the symptoms are also of a general nature. The patient has a feeling of general discomfort or overall poor health whith aches and restlessness. Sensations of cold, of something irritating the skin, accompanied by shivering may also be present.
The fever's full manifestation
Once the body's defense systems have set into motion, their activities gradually escalate. After identifying the attacker, the focus shifts to producing the specific defenses necessary to destroy it. The general intensification of blood circulation, respiration, and the combustion of wastes produces a visible rise in temperature. The fever is now working at full strength. It can spike quickly and then be interrupted by periods of remission, during which time the temperature falls temporarily before climbing back up. This stage can last until the purpose for which the body produced the fever has been achieved.
This purpose is to destroy whatever is threatening the body's physical integrity. The germs need to be killed and their cadavers eliminated, microbial toxins need to be neutralized and expelled, the wastes and residues of the body itself also need to be excreted. When chemical products, venom, or some other poison is responsible for causing the fever, it is these substances that the body must neutralize and eliminate by raising its temperature.
The body must make advance preparations before eliminating all these undesirable substances. They are still too "raw" to be expelled, to borrow Hippocrates' terminology, and therefore still need to undergo the "coction" provided by fever. By "cooking" the wastes in this way, their harmful nature is stripped away and their elimination thus facilitated.
This second phase of fever is therefore characterized by an intense labor to neutralize and break down toxins and poisons before they are truly eliminated from the body.Because of the toxicity of these poisons, the body retains the maximum amount of water possible in an effort to lessen the concentration of the bodily fluids and reduce the aggressive impact the poisons can have on the tissues and organs. The patient therefore hardly eliminates anything during this time: urinations are rare and he or she barely perspires if at all.
End phase
The period at the end of a fever is characterized by strong eliminations and a lowering of the body's temperature. With the toxins neutralized in the preceding stage, the elimination process can at last begin. Evacuation of the dead germs and neutralized poisons is carried out by the excretory organs, the body's normal exit routes. These eliminations can be quite intense as the body violently rids itself of large quantities of poison in a short span of time. Demands are made on all of the organs that eliminate, some more than others depending on the needs of the patient in question.
Abundant perspiration is the most typical form of elimination. The daily volume of sweat excreted can be triple or quadruple the body's normal output, going from 2 or 3 cups a day to 2 or 3 quarts, if not more. The water that had been retained can now leave the body charged with wastes.
These waste-laden fluids also move outward through the urinary glands. There is an increased need to urinate, and the urine produced is copious and dark.
The skin is often the site of cutaneous eruptions affecting the entire surface of the body. The most spectacular example of these eliminations is provided by childhood diseases where, during a bout of measles or chicken pox, for example, children are covered with rashes or pimples. The sudoriferous or sebaceous glands have become congested with the inrush of wastes, causing pimples and red blotches to form.
During this period of exuberant activity by the excretory organs, demands are also made upon the digestive tract. The breakdown and removal of toxins takes place through its mucous membranes. This phenomenon can be observed in the mouth when the tongue becomes glazed with a white coating. The secretions of the salivary glands, the stomach, the liver, and so forth, carry with them not only digestive juices but numerous toxins. This can be detected in the saliva as its taste will change. These wastes are then expelled from the body with the stools. Rapid and copious evacuations of toxins sometimes also take place toward the top of the digestive tract (vomiting) and toward the bottom of the digestive tract (diarrhea).
The respiratory tract also plays a role in this major cleansing process. The breath becomes foul with the gases that are being exhaled. The phlegm formed by the wastes is expectorated, sometimes in impressive quantities.
As toxins and poisons emerge from the depths of the body to be carried to the excretory organs, they necessarily enter into the bloodstream where they drastically alter the composition. It's no longer pure and well-oxygenated blood that is circulating there, it is overloaded with toxic substances. This inevitably has an effect on the patient who can feel all kinds of physical discomfort and mental unease. Her heartbeat becomes erratic and breathing can become difficult; she may feel greatly agitated and anxious.
Fortunately, the discomfort experienced during this period will quickly be replaced by a sense of well-being and relaxation when the avalanche of toxins leaving the body has finally passed. When the biological terrain is clean again, the germs infecting it killed and their remains removed, the patient suddenly feels much better. The body's defensive reactions calm down, as evidenced by the fall of the fever's temperature.
In some cases, the intense phase of eliminations truly terminates the illness. The patient needs no more than a few more days of convalescence to recover her full strength. In other cases, one or more additional phases of coction followed by elimination will occur in succession until the terrain has been sufficiently cleansed.

MILAN, Dec 17 (Reuters) – Carmaker Stellantis is in exclusive talks with BNP Paribas (BNPP.PA), Credit Agricole (CAGR.PA) and Santander (SAN.MC) over the reorganisation of its leasing and financing operations in Europe, it said on Friday.
The group plans to create a 50-50 long-term leasing company with Credit Agricole Consumer Finance, and to reorganise its financing activities through exclusive joint ventures with BNP Paribas Personal Finance and Santander Consumer Finance.
The plan marks a further step in Stellantis Chief Executive Carlos Tavares' strategy to shape the world's fourth-largest carmaker, which was formed just less than a year ago through the merger of Fiat Chrysler and Peugeot maker PSA.
It will allow Stellantis to cut the number of financing and leasing entities it now operates in each European country from five to two.
"This is a strategic move to leverage our financial performance across all European countries," Tavares said in a statement.
Chief Affiliates Officer Philippe de Rovira said the plan would also allow Stellantis to enhance its position in the European corporate leased vehicle market, where it aims to more than double its fleet by the end of the decade.
"We consider that in this segment, we have a huge opportunity for growth in the coming years," he said.
Stellantis' corporate leased vehicle fleet, now at 700,000, is expected to reach one million in 2026, he said.
As part of the plan, Stellantis will operate financing activities through JVs with BNP Paribas Personal Finance in Germany, Austria and the UK, and with Santander Consumer Finance in France, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Poland and the Netherlands.
In Portugal it will work with Santander via a commercial agreement.
It will also sell its 50% stake in Fiat Chrysler's former financial service arm FCA Bank, including Leasys' short-term rent business, to Credit Agricole Consumer Finance, which currently owns the other half of the business.
De Rovira said the overhaul of its European financing operation would not impact jobs.
The deals could be signed in the first quarter of next year, and the transactions completed in the first half of 2023, Stellantis added.
Societe Generale is acting as financial adviser to Stellantis.
The European plan comes after Stellantis earlier this year agreed to buy U.S. auto finance provider First Investors Financial Services Group for about $285 million.
It had been the only major automaker operating in the United States without owning a captive auto finance provider.

Here's a big ole FYI for y'all. There's not a thing in this world that would keep me from this event, save for the fact of my being on the other side of said world until mid-August. Take it away, Joanna Yas of Open City:
David Berman will be making a very rare appearance in New York on Sunday, July 25, 6pm, for a reading and discussion at the NYU Lillian Vernon Creative Writers House, 58 West 10th Street (btw 5th & 6th).
This event is part of the the Open City Summer Writing Workshop, but we have a very limited number of seats available for the public for $15.
Tickets are available here (tickets will not be sold at the door)
Creative Writing 101
For people who are following this series, I'm starting to think that it will make the most sense to post 1 per week, on Friday, which will cover both meetings of the class during that week (on Tues & Thurs nights). To come home and do the Tuesday post that same night or the next day would be too much, besides which if the class is actually checking in here, it might feel a little too rapid-response. I'd rather let the whole week play out, then do the post-game and give everyone (me, them, you) the weekend to mull it over and/or forget it ever happened. So that's the new plan, and here we are with the field reports from 9/15 (Schutt & Dickinson) and 9/17 (more Berman, Percy Shelley, and a writing exercise). And for people who are just coming to the series now, the first two installments are here (1) and here (2). Everyone else, I'll see you after the jump.

Creative Writing 101
This semester I'm teaching an undergraduate survey of creative writing at Rutgers. We're two class meetings in, the students are all excited and smart and engaged. They're making it a real pleasure to show up to class, which anyone who has ever taught before can tell you is not always the case. Because it's a survey class, the idea is that we'll look at the major forms of creative writing–fiction, poetry, drama, and nonfiction. Instead of doing "units" on each of these sections, my hope is to pair pieces from different forms, both oriented by a theme or element of craft, themselves relatable back to a writing exercise, and see what kind of glad serendipities result from the juxtapositions.

Top pork producer shutting SD plant indefinitely amid pandemic
A top pork producer in the country is shutting down its South Dakota plant indefinitely because of the pandemic, the company announced Sunday.
Smithfield Foods is shutting down its Sioux Falls, S.D. facility, one of the largest pork processing facilities in the country, "until further notice." The plant processes four to five percent of pork in the U.S., amounting to about 130 million servings per week.
"Smithfield will resume operations in Sioux Falls once further direction is received from local, state and federal officials," the company said in a press release.
Smithfield Food announced it would compensate its 3,700 employees from the plant for two weeks, and "hopes to keep them from joining the ranks of the tens of millions of unemployed Americans across the country."
Smithfield President and CEO Kenneth M. Sullivan said in a statement that the closure of this and other protein plants is "pushing our country perilously close to the edge in terms of our meat supply."
"It is impossible to keep our grocery stores stocked if our plants are not running," he said. "These facility closures will also have severe, perhaps disastrous, repercussions for many in the supply chain, first and foremost our nation's livestock farmers."
More than 550 family farmers give animals to the closing plant, according to the press release.
Sullivan added that "numerous" agriculture and food plants have had employees who tested positive with COVID-19.
"We have continued to run our facilities for one reason: to sustain our nation's food supply during this pandemic," he said. "We believe it is our obligation to help feed the country, now more than ever. We have a stark choice as a nation: we are either going to produce food or not, even in the face of COVID-19."
It's unclear whether the closure has to do with an employee infection. But the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has maintained that there is no evidence that the virus can spread through food or food packaging.
The company had initially planned to shut down for just three days, but Gov. Kristi Noem (R) requested it be extended to at least 14 days, she said in a tweet.
The situation at Smithfield is a challenging one. They've self-imposed a 3-day shutdown of the plant. And while I applaud them for that, more decisive action is needed.
That's why we've asked Smithfield to close the plant for two full weeks. (7/8)
— Governor Kristi Noem (@govkristinoem) April 12, 2020
Several workers in essential industries, including the meat-packing industry, have staged protests about the dangers of working in close proximity to other employees during the pandemic.

"It's ironic, but until you can free those final monsters within the jungle of yourself, your life, your soul is up for grabs." Rona Barrett
Our second to last day here on this beautiful paradise found us walking through the Limahuli Botanical Gardens on the North Shore of Kauai. These gardens are built upon an ancient Hawaiian community. They've done an amazing job preserving and showcasing many of the indigenous plant species, as well as many others that were introduced over the years.
The tour today was self guided – which meant we took four hours to go about a mile! It's a nice wandering trail that is a nice hike up the mountain to a beautiful vista of the ocean, and then a nice meandering path back down to the bottom. It was completely different from the tour we took the other day at Kauai Botanical Gardens, and very well worth our effort. We took tons and tons of photos.
I'll be posting a few of the photos on my other blog: Me'n My D800e.
The weather co-operated as well . . . it was windy but didn't rain on us once. At least not until we arrived back at the Villa's.
"Nothing is impossible, the word itself says 'I'm possible'!" Audrey Hepburn
We hiked a few more beaches today finding a few more spots that we'd never been to before. Some of the trails are quite steep and slippery as we've had more rain the last few days. We did a little geo-caching along the way, dropping a couple of trackables that my son sent over with me. Geo-caching is how we've discovered quite a few out-of the way places on the Island that are not traveled by the average tourist.
It's a fun activity that can be done all over the world. I highly recommend it. It's a wonderful activity for kids as well. They love the excitement of "the hunt" and it gets them outside in the fresh air, getting exercise and quality time with Mom and Dad. It's a GREAT family activity any time of the year.
These days all you really need is a cel phone with GPS tracking on it – or for the more serious Geo-Cache'r purchase an actual GPS unit. We haven't done that yet – but after this trip when we've had a few times without 3G access . . . I'm seriously considering purchasing one.
Check out Geo-Caching.com for information on cache's all over the world. You'll find many in your area!

Playing 11-5-77 tribute is a way to give Kevin classic songs
At the end of last week Kevin asked for a standard set list nothing new to learn, no practice just good ol' Grateful Dead songs. ?Just out of nowhere I decided let's play the 11-5-1977 show as a way to appease Kevin. ?It makes sense since 1977 equated to good old standard material. ?Amazingly enough, it contained the 4 songs we worked on last week, Jack Straw, Dire Wolf, Looks Like Rain and Sugar Magnolia. ?A pretty amazing coincidence when you come to think about it. ?I didn't try to do that but it just turned out that way. It gave us some good reinforcement practice on those ?songs. ?In addition, we worked on Samson quite a bit which taught us the proper groove on that song which have have been hacking away at for the past 19 years.??All these new improvements to existing material have to compete with years of ingrained misplaying of songs but it all makes it better.? In addition, when you play it correctly, it is easier.? I found that true with the Samson last night. [caption id="attachment_582" align="alignright" width="300" caption="Scott is thinking about something"]
[/caption] This was historic for Deadstein, we played the entire setlist from the 11-5-1977 show in the spirit of the show itself. ?The Minglewood opener was to the period. ?I didn't play any slide all night and Jasonbrought the Travis Beam.?? Scott survived the big, never-ending?second set Estimated --> He's Gone --> Drums --> Other One?--> Peter --> Sugar Mag combo without getting up. ?Pretty enduric of him. ?Speakng of Scott, Scott Bayer was our only guest and was only there for the pre-show mischagaus. ?He seemed impressed with our level of intelligence and provockative discussions in the early hours of the jam compared to what it descends to later on.? In addition, we got to Carroll by cell phone during the encore for the show the One More Saturday Night, ?Lots of great jamming. ?It's easier when it familiar.

Our Klamath Basin Water Crisis
Upholding rural Americans' rights to grow food,
own property, and caretake our wildlife and natural resources.
Blue-green algae impacts debated
By TIM RIOS and BRAD SMITH Daily News Staff Writers September 1, 2006
SISKIYOU COUNTY — Controversy exists over possible health impacts from contact with the blue-green algae found in parts of the Klamath River.
Residents of the Copco Lake and Iron Gate surrounding areas dispute what they say are "news reports about people and animals getting sick."
"I can tell you," said Copco resident Phil Reynolds, "I've lived here 26 years and I've never seen any of those things happen."
The consensus among the community members at a recent meeting was that no one in their community had ever become ill after swimming in the lake or eating fish from it.
They said that the algae is an annual occurrence that has been a part of the lake communities for as far back as they can remember. They avoid it and, therefore, it's not an issue, several residents said.
However, according to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency senior policy advisor Maria Rey, the comments from Copco and Irongate residents cannot be viewed as conclusive evidence that the algae poses no health risk.
Rey explained that although the Copco and
Irongate residents say they have seen algae in the
water for years, it is possible that the algae
they've seen before is not the species now being
detected in the Klamath.

#1 It Fits!
Population density is hard to understand without a point of reference. This map makes it easier by representing populations of other places using areas we're much more familiar with.
#2 The Highest Paid Public Employees
This is a map of the highest paid public employees by state. If you're not already a football coach, you're making way less money than you could be.
#3 McDonalds
The red represents the countries with McDonald's. McDonald's may have gotten farther than the British. One things for sure, wherever you go, a packet of golden fries is never very far away.
#4 The British Are Coming!
This is a map of every place in the world that the British have invaded, in pink. Only 22 countries were left out. That's impressive considering Great Britain itself is nearly too small to see on this map!
#5 Paid Maternal Leave
What countries give mothers time off to bond with their babies? Nearly every country in the world. The United States is nearly the only holdout, along with Suriname, Liberia and Papua New Guinea.
#6 A Rose By Any Other Name
Chinese is a language full of colorful dialects. This map of Europe shows the literal translation of Chinese names for those countries. West Classtooth sounds like a bizarre place to visit.
#7 Metric vs Standard
The red regions are countries that are not on the metric system. Seriously, the metric system makes so much sense, why can't we just suck it up and switch over?
#8 Pirates!
This map shows common pirate routes around the world so you know where to steer clear on your next fantastic voyage. The pink areas are the most dangerous; the West African coast and Indonesian waters are pirate-central!
#9 Like Lightning
As it turns out, the likelihood that you'll get struck by lightning depends a lot on where you live. The yellow areas see the most lightning strikes per square kilometer, white sees the least. For some reason, those bolts really seem to like central Africa.
#10 The Moon
Have you ever wondered how much space the United States would take up if it were on the moon? No? Well, it's still pretty cool to see it on a map.
#11 Flip It!
The orientation of the modern map is completely arbitrary. It all depends on where you're standing when you make the map. This is what the world map would look like if the orientation was reversed. And just like that Australia is in the center of the world!
#12 The Billionaire Club
The world has roughly 7 billion people, and each color on this map represents a part of the world where 1 billion people reside. Red and orange, which contain China and India, are pretty tightly packed!
#13 Where the Money Goes
This map tracks the movement of economic centers in the world since 1 AD. Follow the arrows to see where the wealth is flowing. It's funny how cyclical things are. First money left the East and now it looks like it's headed back.
#14 Getting Buzzed
Not everyone is obsessed with coffee. This is a map of annual coffee consumption per capita around the world; the darker colors drink more coffee. It's surprising that people in Africa, where a lot of coffee beans are grown, drinks almost no coffee. What we want to know is how people in Greenland stay awake.
#15 The Mighty Mississippi
The Mississippi river is much bigger than you think. In red are the 7,000+ rivers that feed into that big body of water.
#16 Where Crude Comes From
Not all oil comes from the middle east. This map highlights the movements of oil exports and imports from country to country. The Americas are actually a big exporter of oil!

Around the World. North America and Europe are the nerds of the world!
#18 The First Time
Sexual norms vary all over the globe. This interesting map charts the average age that people around the world got their v-card stamped for the first time. Green is youngest age and red is oldest. Looks like East Asia is really into holding out.
#19 Greasing the Wheel
The dark red countries have the most reported cases of bribery. The United States takes a hard stand against bribery, but looks like Russia and China have to deal with a lot of corruption!
#20 Rubber Duckies
Maps don't always have to contain useful information. This beauty tracks the journey of 29,000 rubber duckies that fell off of a ship while it was crossing the pacific ocean.
#21 Earthquake!
Harboring a healthy fear of earthquakes? This is a great map for deciding where not to move. Anywhere well away from that giant frightening ring in the middle should be fine.
#22 A River Runs Through It
How many rivers are there in the United States? Nearly too many to count. Each blue vein represents a river. It's enough to make you want to go out and buy a kayak.
#23 What Are They Drinking?
Who's drinking what? Purple is beer, olive is wine, yellow is spirits, blue is other, and grey is unavailable. We never would have thought beer was so popular!
#24 Bottoms Up
Looking for some drinking buddies during your backpacking trip? The dark purple countries drink the most and green countries drink the least. Russia may be too much of a party, but Australia could be a lot of fun.
#25 Population Density
Both India and China have exceeded one billion people. That means there are more people there than anyone else in the world. Just try to wrap your mind around that.
#26 Where Are You Going
Global travel is a lot less common than you'd think. This is a map of the most common routes taken in 2012. The world may be a big place but most of us prefer to stay local. 7 out of 10 are within Asia!
#27 Google Street View
Have you been itching to catch a glimpse of yourself on Google Street View? This map shows in blue where the automated cars travel around the world.
#28 Who's on the Net Now?
This is a map of global internet usage. The yellow wave represents day, the black represents night. The redder the area, the more internet they're using.
#29 The Ultimate Travel Tattoo
There's a lot of overlap between people who are into maps and people who are into travelling. This guy blended the two in an awesome map tattoo with the countries he's visited colored in.
#30 Pangea
Pangea is the giant land mass that existed before the continents separated. Most of us learned about it in school. But this representation includes modern country lines for a better idea of what it was like.

Have you heard of camelina oil? This cooking oil is impressively nutritious and versatile, characterised by a mild, fresh and pleasant smell and taste! Considered one of the HEALTHIEST cooking oil on earth, camelina oil is a MUST-HAVE in your kitchen!
Camelina oil is extracted from the seeds of Camelina sativa, a native plant that has been cultivated in Europe for centuries. It was an edible oil commonly used in Europe until the mid-1940s. Camelina was then substituted with other high-yield crops and its production was reduced after World War II. Thanks to the myriad of health benefits, camelina oil has gained popularity as a potentially modern superfood.
In this article, we will share more about the amazing characteristics of camelina oil.
1. 100% Natural and Cold-Pressed
To obtain the most benefits, look out for unrefined or cold-pressed camelina oil characterised by a clear yellow colour! Refined camelina oil, on the other hand, has a faint yellow colour and a lack of smell. As unrefined oil is extracted through cold pressing process with no heat or chemicals used, the natural qualities and nutrients of the oil are preserved. This makes unrefined or cold-pressed camelina oil superior over the refined alternative.
2. Ideal Omega-3 Source with Healthy Omega-6/Omega-3 Ratio
Today, we typically consume 14 to 25 times more omega-6s than omega-3s, while the optimal omega-6s to omega-3s ratio should be 1 : 2 to 1 : 4. The bad news is overconsumption of omega-6s may cause chronic inflammation, which elevates your risk of multiple diseases, such as heart disease, stroke and cancer.
As such, it is highly recommended to use cooking oils with more omega-3s and less omega-6s. Camelina oil has twice as much omega-3s as omega-6s, with amount of omega-3s as high as 38%. You can now meet your daily requirement of omega-3s with just one tablespoon of camelina oil! One tablespoon of camelina oil provides approximately 742mg of EPA and 132.5mg of DHA, which is adequate to meet your daily needs of omega-3s. Do avoid using cooking oils like canola oil, corn oil, safflower oil, sunflower oil, grapeseed oil, peanut oil and soybean oil. They contain way too much omega-6s compared to omega-3s.
3. Perfect for All Types of Cooking
Unrefined, cold-pressed camelina oil has a smoke point of 245°C (473°F), which is higher than most cooking oils! The high smoke point reduces the likelihood of an oxidation taking place during cooking, which may otherwise turn the oil rancid (rancid oil is detrimental to your health)! This makes camelina oil a remarkably versatile cooking oil that you can use in all types of cooking methods, including cold applications (e.g. salad dressings), lower temperature cooking (e.g. sautéing) and high-heat cooking (e.g. deep frying, barbecuing).
In contrast, other unrefined or cold-pressed oils usually have lower smoke points. For example, the smoke points of extra-virgin olive oil and flaxseed oil are 160°C (320°F) and 107 °C (225°F) respectively, making them unsuitable for high temperature cooking, like stir-frying and deep frying.
4. Highly Nutritious
Unlike flaxseed oil, camelina oil is rich in vitamin E (70mg/100g), an antioxidant that protects the oil against oxidation and rancidity, allowing it to be stored fresh up to 2 years. The high vitamin E content also makes camelina oil more heat stable than other cooking oils in the market. Besides, vitamin E is also beneficial to your health. It prevents free radical damage, which could in turn strengthen your immunity and prevent many diseases, including heart disease and cancer.
Furthermore, camelina oil is high in plant sterols (566mg/100g), compared to other common oils like flaxseed oil (403mg/100g) and camellia oil (35mg/100g). Studies have shown that plant sterols can decrease the total and LDL cholesterol levels in humans by suppressing cholesterol absorption from the intestine.
Camelina oil is also free of trans-fat. Trans fat is detrimental to your health as it increases LDL (bad) cholesterol and reduces HDL (good) cholesterol levels, which raises your risk of heart disease and stroke.
5. Non-GMO, Free of Pesticide and Herbicide
To date, the commercially grown Camelina sativa are in its native form without genetic modification. Moreover, Camelina sativa does not require synthetic fertilisers, chemical-synthetic herbicides and pesticides in the organic farming. In fact, soils with applied chemicals can cause damage to the camelina crop. Most importantly, camelina oil has received a Generally Recognised As Safe (GRAS) status by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the United States (GRN642, 2016). Therefore, it is a safe culinary oil that can meet all your cooking needs.

LABO Camelina Oil
LABO Camelina Oil is a 100% unrefined, chemical-free, cold-pressed camelina oil that contains an impressive amount (38%) of omega-3s. Just 1 tablespoon of the camelina oil can fulfil your daily needs of omega-3! The camelina oil also has an ideal ratio of 2:1 omega-3 to 6 (*other oils have higher omega-6 which promotes inflammation in your body, causing heart disease and arthritis). The high vitamin E content makes LABO Camelina Oil remarkably stable and resistant to heat (high smoke point of 245°C) and rancidity. Combined with a delicate nutty taste, LABO Camelina Oil is a healthy, versatile oil suitable for all types of cooking.

Limits the rows returned in a query result set to a specified number of rows or percentage of rows in Querona. When TOP is used in conjunction with the ORDER BY clause, the result set is limited to the first N number of ordered rows; otherwise, it returns the first N number of rows in an undefined order. Use this clause to specify the number of rows returned from a SELECT statement.
TOP (expression) [PERCENT]
Is the numeric expression that specifies the number of rows to be returned. expression is implicitly converted to a float value if PERCENT is specified; otherwise, it is converted to bigint.
Indicates that the query returns only the first expression percent of rows from the result set. Fractional values are rounded up to the next integer value.
Used when you want to return two or more rows that tie for last place in the limited results set. Must be used with the ORDER BY clause. WITH TIES may cause more rows to be returned than the value specified in expression. For example, if expression is set to 5 but 2 additional rows match the values of the ORDER BY columns in row 5, the result set will contain 7 rows.
TOP…WITH TIES can be specified only in SELECT statements, and only if an ORDER BY clause is specified. The returned order of tying records is arbitrary. ORDER BY does not affect this rule.
Best Practices#
In a SELECT statement, always use an ORDER BY clause with the TOP clause. This is the only way to predictably indicate which rows are affected by TOP.
Use TOP instead of SET ROWCOUNT to limit the number of rows returned.
Compatibility Support#
For backward compatibility, the parentheses are optional in SELECT statements. We recommend that you always use parentheses for TOP in SELECT statements for consistency.
A. Using TOP with a constant value#
The following examples use a constant value to specify the number of employees that are returned in the query result set. In the first example, the first 10 undefined rows are returned because an ORDER BY clause is not used. In the second example, an ORDER BY clause is used to return the top 10 recently hired employees.
USE AdventureWorks2012;
-- Select the first 10 random employees.
SELECT TOP(10)JobTitle, HireDate
FROM HumanResources.Employee;
-- Select the first 10 employees hired most recently.
SELECT TOP(10)JobTitle, HireDate
FROM HumanResources.Employee
ORDER BY HireDate DESC;
B. Using TOP with a variable#
The following example uses a variable to specify the number of employees that are returned in the query result set.
USE AdventureWorks2012;
DECLARE @p AS int = 10;
SELECT TOP(@p)JobTitle, HireDate, VacationHours
FROM HumanResources.Employee
ORDER BY VacationHours DESC;
C. Specifying a percentage#
The following example uses PERCENT to specify the number of employees that are returned in the query result set. There are 290 employees in the HumanResources.Employee table. Because 5 percent of 290 is a fractional value, the value is rounded up to the next whole number.
USE AdventureWorks2012;
SELECT TOP(5)PERCENT JobTitle, HireDate
FROM HumanResources.Employee
ORDER BY HireDate DESC;
D. Using WITH TIES to include rows that match the values in the last row#
The following example obtains the top
10 percent of all employees with the highest salary and returns them in descending order according to their salary.
WITH TIES makes sure that any employees that have salaries equal to the lowest salary returned (the last row) are also included in the result set,
even if doing this exceeds
10 percent of employees.
USE AdventureWorks2012;
pp.FirstName, pp.LastName, e.JobTitle, e.Gender, r.Rate
FROM Person.Person AS pp
JOIN HumanResources.Employee AS e
ON pp.BusinessEntityID = e.BusinessEntityID
JOIN HumanResources.EmployeePayHistory AS r
ON r.BusinessEntityID = e.BusinessEntityID
ORDER BY Rate DESC;

This week and next we are featuring images from Kamada Collection texts related to warriors. Previously we posted illustrations related to premodern theatre performance; the ones here are from a late Edo manuscript published in Genji 1 (1864), Nanchō taihei chūshin ōrai 南朝太平忠臣往来. Although there are few images in this text, the beginning of the manuscript contains several beautifully printed and colored illuminations such as the one below.
The title Nanchō taihei chūshin ōrai can be roughly translated as Book of the Loyal Retainers of the Southern Court, referring to the fourteenth-century political factionalism that resulted in a split of the imperial court into the Northern and Southern Courts.
The figure featured in this image is Nitta Yoshisada (1301-1338), who, in attempting to attack Kamakura by water, purportedly tossed his sword into the sea at low tide and prayed to the deity of the sea, who parted the waters for him. The text above the image narrates the scene for the viewer, including readings for the kanji characters.
The image below, also from Nanchō taihei chūshin ōrai, is of Kusunoki Masatsura (1326-1348), a staunch military supporter of the Southern Court and its leader, Emperor Go-Daigo. This image shows Masatsura composing a death poem on the doors of Nyoirin Temple, the location of Emperor Go-Daigo's tomb.

Work Begins On Gowanus Canal Cleanup
GOWANUS – Earlier this month, a pilot study kicked off at the Gowanus Canal's Fourth Street Basin to test-dredge the floor of the Superfund site, clearing the way for workers to dig up approximately 11 feet of sediment, or "black mayonnaise," sitting at the bottom of the canal, DNA Info reports.
This past Tuesday, workers began installing steel beams to reinforce the crumbling bulkheads along the basin, according to the article. Some bulkheads along the perimeter of the canal collapsed into the water earlier this year due to old age and bad weather, Christos Tsiamis, an Environmental Protection Agency Project Manager, explained in a Brooklyn Paper article.
Dredging will begin in December when workers will dig up sediment from the floor of the Fourth Street Basin, located behind Whole Foods, and then cap the bottom to prevent other toxins from flowing in, according to Brooklyn Paper. The capping process will consist of laying down two feet of sand, clay, and other materials to prevent additional contaminants from entering the water, DNA Info adds.
Some of the sediment will be used to cover landfills in Pennsylvania while portions containing too much liquid tar will be sent to New Jersey to be burned. The dredging process should take two months, followed by the capping process. The project is expected to be completed by April 2018, making the Fourth Street Basin "the first 'clean' stretch of the canal," according to DNA Info.
Data collected from the pilot study will be used to finalize a cleanup plan for the northern section of the canal by February 2019, DNA Info says, with cleanup of that portion of the Gowanus Canal slated to be completed by 2022.

Jefferson Office Bio
The Brunswick-Jefferson Medical Practice began when Dr. Wayne Allgaier opened a store front office in Brunswick on West Potomac Street in August of 1974. After four years of solo practice, he was joined by Dr. Leonard Kinland, and they began taking care of patients in the hospital, as well as at the office. More space was needed as the practice grew, and through the efforts of some energetic local citizens (notably Joanne Runkles), the Brunswick Medical Center was built, opening in 1981. A large addition to the Center was completed in 2003.
In 1985, Dr. Kathleen Stern joined the practice. With the impending retirement of Dr. Talbot Brice, who had served the Jefferson community for over fifty years, the practice opened a second office in Jefferson in 1987. Dr. Judith Henry joined the practice that same year and remained with the practice until her passing in 2000. Subsequent physicians to join the practice were Dr. Christopher Fleming in 1990, Dr. Chan-hing Ho in 1995, Dr. Caroline Gessert in 2001, Dr. Haroon Akhtar in 2009, and Dr. Edward Thompson in 2013. In 1997, the Brunswick Jefferson group joined with two other established practices in Frederick County to form Frederick Primary Care Associates (FPCA).

Acid Phlegm
Q: Can Acid Phlegm be used in melee combat?
A: No. Acid Phlegm is a "Fire of Opportunity" power. Under the rules for Fire of Opportunity (p. 58): "Fire of Opportunity must occur during the model's Activation Phase, and cannot be made if the model enters melee combat."
So not only can it not be used while in Melee, it can't even be used on the same turn the Harbinger moves into melee combat.
Frenzied Warriors:
Passing and swooping attacks do not make base-to-base contact, so they do not count as melee combat. Therefore, if the target of a passing/swooping attack is the beneficiary of Frenzied Warriors, the benefits are not removed due to a passing/swooping attack made against them.
However, if the target is able to make a successful counter-attack (where allowed to do so), those benefits are lost.
If the model performing the passing/swooping attack is under the effects Frenzied Warriors (assuming such a thing is possible), they will always lose those benefits following a successful passing/swooping attack.
Blood Rage:
In addition to the extra bite attack granted, the wound that first triggers the Blood Rage grants the Harbinger of Sobek only a +1 ATT/-1 DEF (not +1/-1 for triggering the power, and another +1/-1 for that wound itself).

Wednesday, 10am: I am at the supermarket and I have already spent 10 minutes at the rice aisle trying to find rice that is not packed in plastic.17 different packages or rice and it is still impossible. I am buying tender wheat instead.
Wednesday, 10.15am: At the bakery. "Of course I can pack you the bread in your in the textile bag. Do you want to produce less waste? A lot more people should think about that."
Wednesday, 9pm: I have to admit that I would like to have some chocolate now. But it seems impossible to find some without plastic.
Thursday, 1pm: "You really don't want to have a bag for the bread roll?" No. "Oh, but if you want to eat it now I can at least pack the other one." Still no.
Thursday, 4pm: I found chocolate without any plastic! That definitely made my day. 😉
Friday, 6.30pm: Have you ever realized that on some tea bags the tiny papers with the name of the tea are fixed with a metallic clip and sometimes they are just clued to them? You cannot even figure that out if you haven't opened the new box of tea yet.
Friday, 10pm: Message from Neli – "Do you want to come to my place tomorrow? We could bake plastic free Christmas cookies."
Saturday, 4pm: The cookies are done and we are happy.
Saturday, 7.43pm: Oh no! I totally forgot that I am going to a party at a friend's place later and wanted to bring some snacks. 17 more minutes left to go to the closest supermarket. No plastic free snacks. First waste.
Monday, 8.20pm: When we leave the pizza place we get two tiny packages of jelly bears. I was so surprised that I couldn't say no. The next tiny plastic even if I won't eat them for at least another two days.
Tuesday, 12.30pm: In front of the mensa a group of students is distributing chocolate Advent calendars. First thought: what a cute idea. Second thought: Why do the calendars which are full of plastic already have to be packed in another plastic bag for every single student who is walking by? I am waiting for a friend for around 5 minutes. 52 people get an advent calendar. What a huge amount of waste.
Wednesday: My week is over but it is not over. I am definitely more aware of the amounts of waste that we produce in our every day life and I will try to keep on minimizing especially the plastic that I use and waste.
Monday: A friend of mine reminds that I wanted to send her the link of our blog. So I hope that soon we will have one more follower.

He called her weekly to check if she or family needed anything. She also said Joe was willing to help financially and even offered to pay the memorial or funeral costs. Hall turned down the help.
She also revealed other hip hop icons Doug E. Fresh, Big Daddy Kane and Treach reached out while Markie was hospitalized.
Biz Markie died with his wife by his side. They were married for 16 years.

Introduced nearly 50 years ago, air miles are a way for the industry to make money. Aside from locking in repeat customers by helping them accumulate trips, airlines sell miles to credit-card companies, banks, hotels and other businesses for billions of dollars. This revenue source is crucial now that the pandemic has thrown aviation into crisis, and airlines are piling in with new offers such as bonus points and lowering thresholds to qualify for more perks. Some are also increasing the number of points members earn from shopping, as well as expanding partnerships so there are more opportunities to rack up miles. That means it should take less effort to secure reward flights or upgrade to business class. Delta Air Lines is providing four times the usual amount of miles for purchases with American Express cards at US supermarkets, while Etihad Airways is offering up to $400 and 5,000 miles for passengers who postpone flights scheduled before July 31 and has points deals for online shopping and cash-back offers with brands including KFC and Pizza Hut. "These programmes appeal to a carrier's very best revenue-producing customers, so there is abundant need to keep these consumers happy," said Jay Sorensen, a former Midwest Airlines executive who is now president of consultancy IdeaWorksCompany. "In the near term, consumers will see a windfall of cheap travel for redeeming points or miles." We're automatically renewing all #MarcoPoloClub memberships and unused mid-tier benefits set to expire between May 2020 and April 2021 for another 12 months, so you can enjoy them when you travel again. We look forward to seeing you onboard soon.https://t.co/awyPdmMagj T&Cs apply pic.twitter.com/pk0bRBTZyK — Cathay Pacific (@cathaypacific) May 18, 2020 According to a 2017 study by Stifel Financial Corp., airlines can get up to 2.5 cents for every mile, so they are a rich source of liquidity. Banks then benefit from annual charges on credit cards and merchant fees when cards are used. JetBlue Airways Corp. this month sold loyalty points to Barclays for $150m. The airline received $475m from such deals in 2019, according to Stifel analyst Joe DeNardi. American Airlines Group got $4.3bn and Delta reaped $4.2bn last year, he said. American Airlines said on Tuesday its AAdvantage loyalty programme – "the biggest asset we have in the company" – has a value of as much $30bn, and that it is negotiating with the US Treasury Department to use at least part of it as collateral for a multibillion dollar loan. Bloomberg News reported in April that the Treasury Department was in talks with some carriers about accepting loyalty programmes as collateral as they rushed to raise funds. Cathay Pacific Airways, which flew just 458 passengers a day in April, is extending Marco Polo memberships and unused mid-tier benefits – access to business-class lounges, for example – by 12 months. United Airlines Holdings has extended Premier memberships through 2022 and made it easier to qualify for reward flights and earn points. Emirates Airline is letting elite Skywards members maintain their statuses by fulfilling just 70 per cent of their tier travel requirements, as well as giving 20 per cent bonus tier miles. This comes as the world's biggest long-haul carrier considers thousands of job cuts. Miles Better "It's a good thing for consumers and for the airlines," said Steve Saxon, a Shanghai-based partner at McKinsey & Co. "Being able to earn miles for everyday spending makes flight redemptions much more accessible" and carriers can get revenue for seats that might otherwise go empty, he said. Emirates' members account for almost 45 per cent of the carrier's commercial revenue, according to Nejib Ben Khedher, divisional senior vice president of Emirates Skywards. Abu Dhabi's Etihad says loyalty programmes help it "obtain valuable data on each guest which allows us to tailor their experience," while Singapore Airlines Ltd. does "not take their loyalty for granted." Singapore Airlines last week reported a record loss. Cheap offers will extend until the end of 2020 for domestic routes and through next spring for longer-haul international routes, Sorensen said. Some airlines may cut down non-travel awards to save cash, or offer discounted business-class seats to loyalty members as companies reduce premium travel, he said. "Loyalty programmes will play an essential role in the industry's recovery by creating incentives for customers to restart traveling," said Renato Ramos, director for loyalty at Star Alliance, a grouping of airlines that includes the likes of Air China Ltd., Deutsche Lufthansa AG and United. "In addition to the existing perks for frequent fliers, we are looking at ways to find new benefits." Airline Woes One risk is there's little value left in miles or co-branded credit cards if the issuing airline collapses, which is a very real threat as the likes of Virgin Australia Holdings, Avianca Holdings and others show. "The airline industry itself, among them the legacy airlines, will be transformed after this earthquake-like shock," said Pankaj Pandit, an independent consultant based in the Indian city of Bengaluru, formerly known as Bangalore. "Many legacy airlines may simply vanish, so naturally their appendage, the loyalty programmes, will also wither away," he said in an email. Some are trying to incentivise members to spend on associated credit cards and transfer points in from other partners such as hotels, according to Gary Leff, co-founder of InsideFlyer.com who writes on loyalty programmes. "There will be empty seats to fill and airlines will need to rely on their programmes to make generous offers in order to bring back consumers," Leff said. "Expect loyalty programmes to run aggressive promotions, travel businesses to spend heavily marketing to their frequent fliers and frequent stay guests. In addition, with all of this excess inventory it'll be easier for consumers to use their points. This will last as long as the downturn lasts."

Full disclosure: I'm a Philadelphia Eagles fan.
No, not that kind.
I'm the respectful, stoic kind that wears my green gear with pride, only cursing division rivals under my breath when occasion demands. I cheer or cringe with every down, every week, even from two time zones away. For although Denver is my home, my hometown lies just outside Philly. The Eagles are my home team.
After witnessing an Eagles season filled with inspiring moments, generous athletes, and spirited end zone celebrations, we find ourselves here. Days away from what has eluded us for over half a century. Again.
It was during this most recent season that I recognized the parallels between my life as an Eagles fan and my career. Those same qualities intrinsic to Eagles fandom have, in fact, equipped me for college counseling.
Consider that as football season commences, so does the college application season. Yet all the hope of August begins to burn out by daylight savings time. It's colder. Darker. Just like my fellow Eagles fans, seniors start to get antsy. By December, whether in college admissions or the NFL, the front-runners know they're in. Fortunately for the rest of us, I am well versed in the art of:
My seniors haven't experienced the years of patience-conditioning I have as an Eagles fan. The same words of solace and support I offer my seniors mirror what I tell myself throughout the Eagles season: You just have to wait and see. It is a process. No matter what happens, everything will be OK.
As the end of high school approaches, with all its trappings and traditions, the stakes feel very high. Knowing that some colleges are as stingy with acceptances as the NFL with Super Bowl rings doesn't adequately prepare seniors for deferral or denial. Especially when, like it or not, their college acceptances are closely tied to their sense of self. Which is why we all need:
As a college counselor, things change from week to week. It comes with the territory of working with teens. Or colleges. Or teens applying to colleges.
Everyone loves an underdog, but it is challenging to actually be one. As a lifelong Eagles fan, that is all I have ever been. I have withstood disappointment and defeat. Year after year. Season after season.
I can speak from experience when counseling students that we are not defined by our wins and losses, our acceptances and denials. It is a journey. Improvement and success are measured by the distance we travel away from the place where we began.
Every year when August rolls around, optimism runs high. Everyone still has a shot. Although diluted with a healthy dose of caution, one emotion permeates the senior class with the same voracity as my fellow Eagles fans:
Hope that anything is possible. Hope that everyone will make it through safely. Hope that everything will all work out alright.
As a college counselor, I analyze the data and am conservative in my predictions. To do otherwise would be a disservice to my students. But as an Eagles fan, I still believe in the long shot. Something unexpected and exciting may lie ahead. (Cue "Miracle at the Meadowlands.")
I grew up in a cultural fandom that wears our suspicion and superstition like a shield, yet where hope in the unexpected miracle — the unanticipated, improbable win — is felt in equal measure.
When I see that same spirit — that same hope — shining in my seniors' eyes, I get it.
And I embrace it.
And I think,
Fly, Eagles Fly.
NACAC member Stephanie Santillo serves as the director of college counseling at Mullen High School (CO).

AAPL/USD: Trade Apple to US Dollar
CEX.IO Broker platform offers users to trade Contracts for Difference (CFDs) on Apple stocks. The AAPL/USD pair represents how much USD is needed to buy 1 AAPL. AAPL refers to a quoted currency, while USD is a base one. A specified timeframe allows monitoring AAPL/USD price fluctuations using the chart at CEX.IO Broker.
How do I start margin trading via CFDs on AAPL?
To start trading at CEX.IO Broker, you need to register on the platform. In case you have already used a CEX.IO before, there is no need to create one more account on CEX.IO Broker. Use the CEX.IO login and password.
Then you need to create a trading account. For that, choose the account base currency (BTC, ETH, or USDT), set the leverage, and click the 'Create' button.
The selected leverage will apply to all the trades in the given account. If you want to use another leverage — you will need to open a new account.
After creating an account, you can fund your balance with one of the account base currencies you choose (BTC, ETH, or USDT), and start trading.
How does trading CFDs on AAPL work?
The cryptocurrency market is dynamic, so you can hardly define whether the price will rise or fall in the next second. The CEX.IO Broker platform allows you to trade on the basis of Contracts for Difference (CFDs). Trading CFDs you can earn on both an uptrend and a downtrend.
You need to open Long positions if you expect the market to go up, and Short - if you think that the price of AAPL will fall. Your position can become profitable if your prediction turns out to be correct.
Most traders use technical analysis in CFD trading to identify certain patterns and make trading decisions.
What options are available for AAPL/USD CFD trading on CEX.IO Broker?
One of the key benefits of trading at CEX.IO Broker is that you have the possibility to apply leverage to any pair you trade. The selected leverage allows you to trade a larger amount of money and thus can magnify your potential profit.
In case the price moves accordingly to your position, your profit will be multiplied by the leverage size. However, it's important to take into consideration another side of leverage. In case the price moves in the opposite direction, the leverage increases the risks of loss.
CEX.IO Broker features four order types you can use in your trading:
Limit order
- allows setting the price at which you want to sell/buy. It takes a certain amount of time to execute as the market needs to reach the preset price or better.
Market order
- offers you to buy/sell cryptocurrencies immediately at the current price.
- similar to the Limit order, but only fills at the exact price you set.
OCO (One-cancels-the-other)
order - combines Limit and Stop orders. Once one of them is executed, the other - cancelled.
What can help to make trading CFDs on AAPL/USD more successful?
If you are new in crypto trading with margin, CEX.IO Broker offers you to try a demo account before trading to the live account. Thus, you can get acquainted with the platform's tools and features, order types, etc.
If you are a seasoned trader, you can still use the demo account to test and fine-tune some new strategies before you start trading with them on your live account.
Why trade the AAPL/USD pair?
Nowadays, it's quite hard to find a person who is not aware of Apple Inc. Millions of people use personal computers, smartphones, tablet computers, smartwatches, and so on designed and manufactured by Apple.
Apple is the largest technology company in the world by revenue and one of the most valuable companies in the world.
Hence, this drives the huge interest of a wide audience towards the company. AAPL stocks price dynamics suggest significant earning potential, and CEX.IO Broker allows trading CFD on AAPL stocks to benefit from that potential.
Some reasons to try CFD trading on CEX.IO Broker

text: I remember David Campbell from his New York City Cabaret days, and I remember he was one of the first people to sing the wonderful song 'Grateful,' composed by John Buccino. But then he kind of disappeared and I know he has enjoyed more success in his native Australia, and if I am not mistaken, he is now some kind of television presenter there. And now he has released a new Holiday album, 'Baby It's Christmas,' and it's a nice pleasant album. I wish I could describe it better, but really, that's all it is. It has a nice solid Holiday repertoire – your 'O Come All Ye Faithful' mixed in with a 'Jingle Bells.' The arrangements will please everyone, and I like that he covers Harry Connick Jr's 'When My Heart Finds Christmas.' Australian Rick Price has an original for him, the title track, and yes, it's all really easy to listen to. But it's also kind of generic, and does not take any risk at all. It would be a hit for department stores. I guess when you hear these songs over and over, you kind of look for a little edge. There's none here.

Disclaimer: I am neither a nutritionist nor an expert on anything related to nutrition. This is simply a write up of what worked for me.
First I would like to give some context, to how I got to my peak weight of 110kgs (240 lbs). In highschool I played a lot of soccer and was a sizeable 6 foot tall teenager. This allowed to me eat everything and always. Once I went to university I stopped playing as much soccer, as one would expect I gained a decent amount of weight due to that change. Additionally, when I begun interning at various companies, I gained the misconception that if I was ever tired I simply needed to eat more food.
Eventually I grew tired of out growing my clothes and decided to make many changes in my life. I don't have any fancy graphs or before/after photos. All I have are some words of advice and encouragement that can hopefully help those in need.
Heres a list of things that I changed which helped me go from 110 kgs (240 pounds) to 80 kgs (175 pounds) in a little over a year.
- Intermittent fasting (IF) describes a few types of fasting, one of which is periodic fasting where an individual eats for 8 hours a day then fasts the other 16 hours of the day (I see many doing a more extreme 6/18 split). The idea behind restricting the time when you can eat is in a short period of time you can only stuff yourself so much. Therefore you will naturally limit your caloric intact and lose weight. I tend to eat breakfast around 8 and try to have dinner around 6/7. This puts my range slightly higher than the 8/16 split but I found it helped me limit my calories, sleep (not going to sleep on a full stomach) and defecate more regularly
- Calorie in, Calorie out (CICO) is an idea that a calorie, regardless from source, is in the end a calorie. In addition every human body needs a certain amount of calories to function (Total Daily Energy Expenditure Calculator). These were the main concepts I used when "constructing my diet", I got a rough estimate of how many calories I needed to eat to lose weight and then tried to eat that many calories. Granted I am Celiac ie I cannot eat wheat, meaning I naturally eat healthier as I can't eat most fast food. I tried to follow the plate division thought up by Athlean-X, a youtuber/physical therapist.
- TDEE calculators are meant to give you a rough estimate. I weighted myself every few days and adjusted as necessary. Keep in mind your weight can vary widely day to day just based on water + food intake. Look at long term trends rather than day to day trends.
- Don't sweat hitting your caloric intake every day. 100 calories over or under won't have any adverse long term effects. Again look at long term trends rather than day to day.
- A typical day for me would consist of 3-6 "meals": breakfast, snack 1, lunch part 1, lunch part 2, snack 2, dinner. You may be thinking, wow, you are constantly eating and to be honest I am. I found that eating often, but smaller portions (lunch part 1 + lunch part 2 are just a regular lunch split over two sittings) prevented me from being hungry. The snacks I had varied based on where I was living (rotated through a few internships as I lost my weight) but in general were relatively healthy. Fruit is great as it fills you up with a low calorie count.
- Breakfast: either oatmeal (the non-sugary kind) + peanut butter/nutella or milk + cereal
- Snack 1: banana and sometimes low sugar and fat yogurt
- Lunch part 1: Varied widely, when I cooked for myself I typically had pan fried chicken + boiled potatoes + veggies. Alternatively I would order some food from Uber Eats/Skip the Dishes
- Lunch part 2: Reminder of whatever I didn't eat during part 2
- Snack 2: Some fruits or protein bar and protein shake
- Dinner: Typically a small meal consisting of carbs (rice/rice noodles) + protein (beef/chicken) + veggies(brocoli/carrots etc).
- As I mentioned previously I am Celiac, meaning I overall eat pretty healthy. I don't drink pop, eat chips or much fast food. Eliminating even just part of your unhealthy intake can make a huge difference on its own.
- Eat your veggies. They taste good, help you poop and fill you up.
- With respect to exercise, perhaps surprisingly for some, I did 0 cardio (aside from during warmups). Instead I focused on weight lifting.
- Reddit has a great intro to Getting started with fitness which also has a bunch of alternative workout routines. The routine you pick does not matter one bit. All that matters is you going.
- Going to the gym will be tough until it becomes a habit. You will tell yourself you're too tired or have other things to do. All I can say is the human body is capable of some amazing things, push yourself.
- Reddit has a great intro to Getting started with fitness which also has a bunch of alternative workout routines. The routine you pick does not matter one bit. All that matters is you going.
- As I mentioned while I gained weight I believed my tiredness was due to inadequate caloric intake. I started monitoring when I felt tired vs awake. What I quickly found out, perhaps unintuitively, is the less I do the more tired I get. If, I go to work and do absolutely nothing I will feel awful. Not because of being hungry, but because of being bored. I needed to go to the gym, meet my friends or work on a side project to reinvigorate myself. This helped me realize my energy was often based on my emotional state.
- This isn't to say you can always push through your tiredness. All I am saying is learn to listen to your own body.
- Be ambitious in your goals. Its very easy to become complacent and become satisfied with any results.
- Give it time. It took me several years to gain the weight and I didn't expect to lose the weight in a few months. Habits take weeks if not months to form. But once habits are established it becomes second nature.

Experience in schools prior to student teaching is a critical component of teacher candidates' learning about schools, children and adolescents, and teaching. The New York State Education Department requires that programs leading to teaching certificates include at least 100 field experience hours for an initial certification and 50 additional field experience hours for each additional certification. Programs that simultaneously prepare for more than one certification area have more hours. These field experiences must be related to courses in an approved program of study. The number of hours will vary from course to course.
Job-Embedded/Job-Reference Field Experience Placement
Teacher candidates registered in a Graduate Program who are currently employed by a school district may have the opportunity to complete their field experience hours in their place of employment as either a job-embedded field experience or a job-embedded field experience.
Eligibility is dependent on New York State Certification Requirements, course requirements, classroom composition, and approval from their Graduate Program Director.
In order to apply for a job-embedded field experience or a job reference field experience, teacher candidates must complete the appropriate form below no later than the end of the first week of class.
Teacher candidates completing a job-embedded field experience must complete the attendance form below.

Greenhouse farm "Alliance" planted in a greenhouse of lettuce seeds using ion-exchange substrate ZION.
To show the efficiency of the substrate ZION two batches of lettuce was planted in parallel. In the first batch a peat soil with the addition of ZION was used. In the second batch, the same peat soil with additives of a standard fertilizer set.
Key results:
The report confirms that LLC "Alliance" from June to August 2017 was planted lettuce from the seeds in their own greenhouse applying ZION Universal ionite substrate.
To control the efficiency of ZION substrate there were planted two batches of lettuce. Standard cassettes for 144 cells each were used.
1st batch included 100 cassettes with regular peat soil (TM "AgroBalt") mixed with ZION Universal substrate in the proportions of 2, 3 and 5 percent of the cell volume.
2nd batch was planted as a control and included 900 cassettes with the same regular peat soil (TM "AgroBalt") as was used in 1st batch.
For the first batch, only irrigation was carried out (no fertilization at all), in the second batch, the routine scheme of fertilization was used.
As a result, the following data were obtained:
– lettuce grown on mixture of peat soil with ZION substrate without any fertilization has reached the parameters required for transplantation into the open ground (individual plant weight, length of leaves, root system development, etc) for 9 days before the lettuce from control batch grown on regular peat soil with an appropriate fertilization. Routine growing cycle of lettuce till transplantation lasts 27 days. Using ZION substrate it was shortened up to 18 days;
– the cost of implemented ZION substrate was 2 times less than the total cost of fertilizers used for the control batch growing;
– for first vegetation of lettuce no differences between plants by 2%, 3%, 5% substrate was observed. Two percent of ZION is supposed to be enough at least for one vegetation cycle.;
Based on the foregoing LLC "Alliance" recommends application of a ZION Universal ionite substrate for growing seedlings of greeneries.

There's a lot wrapped up in a gift. That box, whether big or small, can contain a whole lot of symbolism. Some people pack a bunch of hidden meaning—love, appreciation, desire — into gifts. Others just wish gifting had never been invented, or that there was a 911 line dedicated to birthdays and anniversaries.
There isn't. And in fact it's next to impossible to crack the gift-giving code. No two people are alike. Case in point: my friend Veronica once received a diamond pendant from her then-boyfriend. Diamonds are a girl's best friend right? Wrong. Not this girl. She found the expenditure extravagant and wished he'd ploughed the money into winter tires.
Nope, there's no easy answer to this one. All we can do is laugh about it. So, with laughter in mind, I polled my girlfriends and Twitter followers for the best and worst gifts their spouses had ever given. (And so I'm not accused of penning a sexist column, let me assure you, I did survey my male friends, too, but their answers were too profane to publish.) Interestingly, I didn't get a single "best," only a long list of "worsts." "There aren't enough pages on your site to include all the crappy gifts I have received from my spouse," emailed one friend, who went on to list about five of them (including a card depicting a romantic Quebec City trip that never, ever materialized.)
Well, that got the "reply all" flying. Throughout this estrogen-laden cyber-exchange, one of my gay gal-pals listened quietly (and maybe the teeniest bit smugly) before sagely commenting: "Maybe this is one of many areas where having a female spouse really makes a difference." Yeah, maybe.
And maybe good gifting just boils down to good communication. So, here's my advice:
- Be specific. Take the guesswork out of gifting and tell your partner exactly what you want. This will require you to get over the faulty notion that receiving is less romantic when you have to lay a breadcrumb trail to the perfect present; there's nothing less romantic than the gifts (like those in our top 10 list, below) you'll get when you leave it to chance.
- Mutually agree on which holidays warrant gifts. Is Passover present-worthy? Eid? What about the Winter Solstice? Concur on expectations ahead of time to avoid day-of disappointment.
- Establish a budget. Much of the broken telephone around gifting comes from crossed wires over money. Take the financial stress out of this already complex equation by setting ceilings beforehand.
The Top 10 Worst Gifts Ever Given*
- A pair of granny panties. You know, big enough for you and a couple of your closest friends.
- A snow shovel (packaged up with a cute pair of oven mitts).
- A gym membership with a card reading, "I love you, but get your butt on a treadmill".
- Cash—wrapped up in a printout of the family's budget.
- A piece of the kids' art.
- A vacuum cleaner.
- A pair of speakers (that plug into his stereo).
- A "spa" basket that included a waxing kit.
- A certificate for beer and wings, inscribed to "This year's MVP" from a men's hockey club.
And the winner is…
- A pair of nose-hair clippers, given by the "NHF" (nose hair fairy)
* Based on real gifts given to real women by real men.

Used Ssangyong Korando 2011-present review
What alternatives should I consider to a used Ssangyong Korando estate?
The most popular car in this class is the Nissan Qashqai, the SUV that more or less defined the class and spawned a hundred imitators. Used ones have a little bit of a poor reputation for reliability, but the car itself is great to drive, comfortable to be in, spacious and practical. It's a great family SUV.
The Kia Sportage is another popular SUV much in the Qashqai/Korando mould. It's good to drive, spacious inside and has a large and practical boot. It also comes from new with a seven-year transferable warranty. It's good value used, too, and spreads back over two previous and popular generations.

Camo Shorts: Your Versatile Clothing Pieces
Military type apparels have invaded the fashion scene with men, women and kids now noticed wearing the style. Camo shorts are well-known clothing pieces worn for casual and outdoor activities.
Military type apparels
have invaded the fashion scene with men, women and kids now noticed wearing the
style. Camo shorts are well-known clothing pieces worn for casual and outdoor
activities. They are worn to coordinate shirts and jackets, and are normally
created from polyester and cotton knit fabrics. Styles are largely in cargo
style with big pockets on each and every side in the legs. These outfits are
really versatile and can be utilized as lounge wear for beach and pool parties.
They also offer rugged appeal for functional purposes such as in camping and
hunting trips.
The camouflage fabric was
originally developed for soldiers and hunters so they can easily blend into the
outdoor environment without being observed by their prey. This can be a
protective measure used to shield them from the dangers of the wild. The colors
of the camouflage usually appear in earth tones with blends of green, brown,
and tan shades. The prints are in jungle or desert inspired patterns to
determine the function of the wearer. Nowadays, newer versions have appeared
and much more shades are introduced to blend with the most recent trend.
Popular colors have emerged to include blue, gray, pink, and purple shades that
give the shorts a brand new twist.
When purchasing camouflage
shorts, it is important to find a style that suits the occasion you may wear
them. Should you intend to make use of it for some casual outings with friends;
you have to look for shorts in neutral hues and medium weight fabrics that are
comfortable to wear. For rugged outdoor adventures, the cargo design is perfect
for a trip in to the wilds. Colors ought to blend with the forest scene to keep
you concealed from wild animals. You can pair these with shirts in earth colors
that complements well to the atmosphere.
The camo style shorts are
quick becoming fashionable clothing pieces for ladies. Many women are now observed
sporting these apparels in brilliant colored variations of pink, purple, and
orange camouflage patterns. They usually match the shorts with fitted t-shirts
and sleeveless top with coordinating jackets to complete the look. These are
extremely hot items that girls enjoy to put on to flaunt their general appeal.
Apart from these fashionable trends, females now embrace the camouflage cargo
style that's largely connected to mens wear. The female version is tightly
fitted from the waist down to emphasize the womens shapely figure. This offers
them a more casual look that is definitely attractive.
Purchasing comfy clothing
apparels for daily wear will be the ideal way to loosen up and have fun on
outdoor activities. The camo shorts are the coolest thing to wear on any casual
event that needs you to unwind. They have also grown to besome trendy pieces to
provide you with visually attractive garments.
