With a strong climbing ability plus a well-known turn of speed, Alejandro Valverde was always seen as a potential victor on stage four of the Vuelta a España and that's precisely how things turned out.
Valverde took on other riders who are also known for their abilities on punchy finishes, namely Peter Sagan (Tinkoff-Saxo) and Dani Moreno (Katusha). The Movistar co-leader beat the Slovakian and the Spaniard to the line in Vejer de la Frontera, winning out of what was a 25 man front group.
Sagan did his utmost to follow up on Monday's win with another success, but appeared to run out of ground before the line.
The trio overhauled Sky's Nicolas Roche, who had attacked to cover a move made by Samuel Sanchez (BMC Racing Team) inside the final two kilometres. Roche sat on Sanchez's wheel until the road kicked upwards again and then went, but he was unable to hold off the three quickest riders behind.
Race leader Esteban Chaves (Orica-GreenEdge) finished tenth and held onto his red jersey. He remains five seconds clear of Tom Dumoulin (Team Giant-Alpecin) and 15 ahead of Roche, while the ten second win bonus picked up by Valverde bumps him up from seventh to fifth overall.
He is now 28 seconds back in the general classification.
Valverde said after the stage that his team decided to hold back and wait until the end before playing its card.
"I was seeing that neither Bilbao nor Samuel Sánchez and Roche were opening a serious gap, and I kept Sagan under control. As the shadow on the ground showed him on my wheel, I didn't have to look back.
"I knew he was strong, but into such a finish, with 200m to go, when Majka jumped away and closed the gap… you can suffer some sort of misfortune, but it was clear to me that this victory was mine, or at least I had a really strong chance.
"More than the bonus seconds I took, I'm happy because of this win, which makes my team-mates so confident about our chances."
The 209.6 kilometre stage began in Estepona and lacked any classified climbs. That statistic was misleading, though, as the final five kilometres were tough and featured two uphill sections before the line.
The stage's status as the longest of the race was always likely to encourage breakaway attempts and very soon after the start six riders got clear. These were Nikolas Maes (Etixx-Quick Step), Bert Jan Lindeman (LottoNL-Jumbo), Jimmy Engoulvent (Europcar), Markel Irizar (Trek Factory Racing), Mickael Delage (FDJ) and the Presidential Tour of Turkey winner Kristijan Durasek (Lampre-Merida).
These rapidly gained time over the unconcerned peloton and after 30 kilometres they were almost 14 minutes clear.
Early on Chaves' team rode at the front, aided in part by Katusha and Movistar, and this collaborative effort trimmed the lead back considerably.
Later on Tinkoff-Saxo rolled to the front and started working for Sagan, believing in his chances after what was his first Grand Tour stage win in two years on Monday.
The break's advantage was whittled down to a minute, prompting Engoulvent and Irizar to play their cards and attack the four others out front. However this attempt was unfruitful, with the bunch reeling them in with 11 kilometres to go.
The momentum continued onto the final climb, where first Tosh Van Der Sande (Lotto-Soudal) and then Pello Bilbao (Caja Rural-Seguros RGA) made solo moves. The latter was caught inside the final two kilometres, then former Olympic champion Sanchez attacked hard on a false flat and quickly got a gap.
Roche was the only one able to bridge and he sat on the Spaniard, gambling that he would keep riding towards the line. Sanchez did so, but the gap was too small for Roche's subsequent jump to hold off those chasing behind.
Valverde, Sagan and Moreno whipped past and finished in that order, with Chaves close by and holding the lead for another day.
Next up is a flat 167.3 kilometre race between Rota and Alcalá de Guadáira. This seems destined for a bunch sprint, with Sagan likely to try once again.

Working from Home: 3 Simple Breathing Techniques for Increased Productivity
To work from home often means you spend hours in front of a computer, completely absorbed in your work. Feeling too anxious to meet deadlines, you may experience a rapid heartbeat, your jaws and shoulders getting tense, your breath becoming shallow and shorter and shorter. After a few hours of intense concentration, you start feeling fatigued and distracted. It is easy to literally forget to breathe when you are so focused on working. It is easy to overwork yourself as you stop paying attention to proper breathing when you work from home.
Deep breathing - taking in sufficient oxygen and releasing toxic carbon dioxide - is essential for a healthy and stress-free lifestyle. And having a stress-free life is probably one of the main reasons why you decided to build your home office and start working from home. Right? The truth is your breathing has a profound effect on your physical and emotional health. In the long run, shallow breathing may lead to cardiovascular disease, insomnia, high blood pressure, indigestion, various infections as well as depression, anxiety and decreased productivity.
So, reclaim your physical and mental health and practice deep breathing exercises. While it is very easy to learn, these exercises are extremely powerful. They have been documented to reverse body's natural reaction to stressful conditions and help effectively manage negative emotions as well as physical pain. When you learn to take deep, slow breaths fresh oxygen pours into every cell in your body, your muscles relax and your blood pressure lowers. Deep breathing detoxifies and releases toxins from the body and triggers the release of endorphins, pleasure-inducing neurochemicals in the brain, that elevate mood and relieve physical pain. Proper breathing also relaxes the mind and brings clarity, boosts energy levels and improves stamina. And that's what you need when you are trying to make living by working from home.
Put your lunch break to better use and do breathing exercises
1. Sama Vritti (calms the nervous system, increases focus, reduces stress)
Inhale through the nose for a count of four, then exhale through the nose for a count of four. More advanced practitioners can aim for six to eight counts per breath. This exercise can be done anytime and anywhere, but is especially effective before bedtime and when you are done working from home. Watch a short instructional video here: http://bit.ly/1BCyxVD
2. Abdominal Breathing (reduces heart rate and blood pressure)
Place one hand on your chest and the other on your belly. Take a deep breath through the nose into your stomach so it inflates and deflates with an exhale. Try to take six to ten deep, slow breaths per minute for a total of 10 minutes. Watch a short instructional video here: http://bit.ly/1BCyskI
3. Nadi Shodhana (energises, increases focus, activates both sides of the brain)
Sit in a comfortable meditative pose with your spine erect. Place the tip of your index finger and middle finger of the right hand in between the eyebrows, your ring finger and little finger on the left nostril, and the thumb on the right nostril. While holding your thumb over the right nostril, inhale deeply through the left nostril. Then close off the left nostril with the ring finger and exhale through the right nostril. After every exhalation, remember to breathe in from the same nostril from which you exhaled. Continue this pattern to complete nine rounds. It's easy to do when you are working from home and you can watch a short instructional video here: http://bit.ly/1LWUZhK
Learn to breathe while working from home
Learn simple techniques for stress reduction and enhanced concentration in Richard Brown's book The healing power of the breath. It offers 'a drug-free, side-effect free solution to common stress and mood problems'. Alternatively, choose Dennis Lewis' illustrated guide Free your breath, free your life to learn how to breathe more consciously so you can deal more effectively with difficult situations, which you need when you work from home. Finally, opt for Dr. Belisa Vranich's jargon-free guide Breathe that promises to recharge and refuel your body and brain in two weeks through breathing exercises.
If you need something to remind you of taking proper breaths (because we all know it is so easy to forget), try one of these practical apps: Paced Breathing is a free Android app that regulates your breathing cycle by giving you visual, audio, and vibration signals.
Breathe2Relax is a portable stress management tool available both for Android as well as iOS users. It provides guided breathing exercises, helping to reduce symptoms of an anxiety attack. Similarly, Breathing Zone app uses clinically proven therapeutic breathing exercises that decrease your heart rate. You can easily use this app when you are working from home and if you use it daily, you will experience significantly reduce in your stress level and a better management of your high blood pressure.

28495 Big Basin Hwy, Boulder Creek CA 95006
28495 Big Basin Hwy, Boulder Creek CA
Residential – Offered at $2,497,000
Monterey Bay
This gated Country estate 14 miles above Silicon Valley, via Highway 9, provides a front row seat to mother nature with sweeping ocean & forest views, resort like living, fresh mountain air and complete privacy. Offering direct access to "Skyline to Sea Trail" & 30K acres of state parks, the property also boasts stands of cathedral redwoods surrounding a 6 bd/4.5 bath main residence, a 632-sf Guest House, 664-sf gym, saltwater pool, spa, 1/1 sunlit cottage, 5-stall barn with outdoor arena and miles of riding trails perfect for any outdoor enthusiast. The Great Room showcases vaulted ceilings surrounded by french doors to a veranda with views of Monterey Bay adjacent to the chef's kitchen, large dining area, & luxe master suite with spa-like bath, fireplace, & private deck. The home features a large office to work from home, plus a media room, billiards & library to provide entertainment. The property generously hosts everything from family BBQs to large-scale galas.
The Location
The picturesque community is situated at an elevation of 1,900 feet in the heart of the Santa Cruz Mountains. As mentioned, living in the neighborhood provides direct access to the Skyline-to-the-Sea trail, yet maintains a close distance to a bustling urban lifestyle for residents who enjoy access to broader entertainment and travel. Just forty minutes northeast residents access Silicon Valley, home to the expanding tech industry; including HP, Netflix and Apple Park, also known as "Apple Spaceship" due to its unique design. Offering some cultural contrast would be to drive forty-five minutes south of Big Basin Community, where residents visit the city of Santa Cruz, a world-renowned surf spot known for its beaches, diverse restaurants, and laid back community.
Upper Big Basin community is part of Santa Cruz County, a coastal county that runs south of the San Francisco Bay Area. Established in 1850, it is one of the first counties of California and is also home to one of the top colleges in the nation, the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC). With strong offerings in education and the ability to support a diverse array of active lifestyle, few residents find Upper Big Basin a lacking environment. There are not many places in the United States that offer the combination of immense biodiversity, breathtaking views, and flavorful eateries that make Santa Cruz County a unique and highly desirable place to reside.
The Community
The Upper Big Basin community offers its residents a lifestyle that prioritizes living in harmony with the natural world away from the choked streets of urban life. Nestled among the Santa Cruz Mountains and their ancient Redwood trees, Upper Big Basin is a locale known for its laid-back culture, good food, and its connection to breathtaking landscape that surrounds it – just a few miles away lies Big Basin Redwoods State Park, which hosts unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean and access to nearly 2,000-year-old Redwood trees; life here provides a connection to natural roots and an escape from the breakneck speed of modern life. Residents of the community are steeped in outdoor pursuits including cycling, hiking, backpacking and equestrian activities.
A particularly proud point among outdoor enthusiasts in the area is the famous Skyline-to-the-Sea trail, a 30-mile trek that hikers from around the nation flock to for its access to over 30 acres of iconic views and its traverse through five beautiful state parks. The trail, which starts in Castle Rock State Park at Saratoga Gap, descends along the winding mountainside, ending at Waddel Beach.
While rugged outdoor pursuits account for some of the area's appeal, the long growing season and fresh local foods have been known to also inspire those who are passionate about cuisine and wine. Upper Big Basin is home to Big Basin Vineyards and nearby unique eateries, antique stores, and other local wineries situated along the winding roads and glittering views of the Santa Cruz mountains. Foodies should know that an outing for finding locally grown and ethically-sourced food is not complete without a visit to the Wild Roots Market in the neighboring town of Boulder Creek. The basin and mountains have also long held a draw for those seeking a spiritual experience, clarity, or peace, and the surroundings here instill the kind of awe and the unfiltered experience that many are looking for. It is no surprise, then, that the area has long been home to the Vajrapani Institute, a retreat center that offers the teachings of Tibetan Monks. The institute provides guests an opportunity to embrace silence, practice contemplation, and try a vegetarian lifestyle.
With access to long treks through stunning landscapes, fresh local food, and the inspiring, thoughtful quiet of the mountains, Upper Big Basin community offers residents refuge and an opportunity to center themselves while living active, engaged lives. Residents of all ages find the adventure, the peace, and the beauty in Upper Big Basin community.

J&J settles 1,000 talc lawsuits for $100m+; report
Johnson & Johnson has agreed to pay more than $100 million to settle over 1,000 lawsuits that allege the company's Baby Powder talc products caused cancer, according to Bloomberg.
Citing people close to the matter, the news agency said the settlement marks the first time that J&J has opted to settle litigation in bulk, rather than individually.
All told, there are estimated to be more than 19,000 lawsuits claiming injury caused by J&J's talc products, so the settlement – if confirmed – represents a fraction of the potential liability facing the company.
The Bloomberg report suggests that the hiatus on courtroom proceedings caused by the coronavirus pandemic in the last few months allowed settlement talks to gather pace.
Many of the lawsuits claim that users of Baby Powder developed ovarian cancer or mesothelioma as a result of exposure to minute levels of asbestos in talc, and plaintiffs insist the company knew of the product's cancer risks by the early 1970s and failed to warn consumers.
J&J refutes that assertion, and insists there is no asbestos in its talc, although it has been at odds on the latter issue with the FDA.
Earlier this year the company said it was planning to phase out its talc-based Baby Powder range in North America, leaving some corn starch-based products on sale, but insisted that decision was taken as a result of declining demand for Baby Powder products.
The drop in sales came from changing consumer habits, misinformation about talc's safety, and "a constant barrage of litigation advertising", it said at the time. Liability law specialists said the phase-out was a key step in resolving the talc litigation as it sets a cut-off point for future lawsuits.
J&J hasn't commented on the Bloomberg article other than to say that "in certain circumstances, we do choose to settle lawsuits, which is done without an admission of liability and in no way changes our position regarding the safety of our products."
The company has been fighting litigation over talc for years, with wins and losses, but the standout result was a $4.7 billion damages award to plaintiffs in a Missouri lawsuit a couple of years ago, that was reduced to $2.1 billion on appeal and is still in play.
Before COVID-19 lockdowns, a jury in a New Jersey trial awarded $750 million in punitive damages against J&J, although that was immediately slashed to $187 million by the judge as that was the maximum penalty allowed under state law.
In its latest quarterly report J&J said it had spent $600 million on litigation in the first half of 2020, primarily associated with talc lawsuits. A fresh trial involving a factory worker who claims his mesothelioma was caused by J&J's talc products is due to start in California later this month.

A Palestinian family has denounced a plea deal to clear an Israeli settler from murder charges in a 2015 arson in which a Palestinian baby and his parents were burned alive in the occupied West Bank.
In July 2015, Riham and Saad Dawabsheh and their 18-month baby were burned alive when settlers set on fire their home in the village of Duma in Nablus. Another child sustained severe burns in the attack.
On Sunday, the Central District Court in Lod approved a plea deal between the settler's lawyers and the State Prosecutor's office under which he was cleared of the murder conspiracy charges.
Under the deal, the settler would not serve more than five years in prison in connection with the murder.
"This deal proves the complicity of the Israeli judiciary in this horrible crime," Nasr Dawabsheh, a spokesman for the family, told Anadolu Agency on Monday.
"This deal is unfair and encourages the settler gangs to commit more crimes," he warned.
Dawabsheh said the family would pursue all legal measures to bring the perpetrators to justice.
"We do not trust the Israeli judiciary, but we are forced to pursue all legal measures before Israeli courts before going to international courts to bring the perpetrators to accountability," he said.
"The International Criminal Court (ICC) does not accept cases unless all legal measures are pursued before local courts," he said.

"I think it's important to note our own situation at the time. You see, I was having a bit of trouble selling my goods. Apparently foreign merchants heard of the curse that inflicted our Island and had ceased their trading with us. Hence I did not have many customers as my shells were of no use to the locals.
Mother and I were surviving on very little at that point and it was obvious that while contemplating our situation in her "moment of idleness," she entertained the thought of leaving.
We went to bed very late that night. We sat up discussing what to do but it almost seemed like our minds were made up.
It made me nervous to think that our future lay in the next few days of our planning."
Okay that was embarrassing.
Lovely Louise over at My Other Book Is a Tolstoy was kind enough to tag me in the Lucky 7 Challenge:
The idea is to go to page 7 or 77 of your current work in progress, go down to the 7th line, then copy and paste approximately 7 lines in raw, unedited form. Tag some friends to join in the challenge!
Because my WIP is a collection of shorts and I am currently editing it, one story at a time, I decided to choose an extract from the very next story on my list that hasn't gone through a serious modification process as yet.
That story is the Beast of Kipwe Island and guess what number it is on my little chart? Yep, you guessed it, its number 7!!! How's that for freaky coincidence???
So the extract above is from page 7, lines 7 -14, in the raw and in the nude so to speak. I didn't touch it even though I was tempted to… 🙂
I know I tagged a whole lot of you guys for 11 Questions last time so I won't tag anyone today but if you want to have a go at this challenge and post an unedited extract of your WIP on your blog, you can use my name and do so! It would be fun to see what you guys are working on.
Once again thank you to Louise for thinking of me, and until next time, happy writing!

The argument goes that having protected adults from secondary smoke, we must now protect children. But legislation banning smoking in enclosed public places has existed in the Republic of Ireland since 2004. At this time they were beginning to think of introducing it to Scotland and legislation to do this was passed in 2005, around six years ago. In other words it has taken the great and the good over six years to come to the conclusion that what might hurt adults in areas they need not go, might also hurt children in areas where they have no choice about going.
The real issue is of course that they could almost get off with designating private businesses as 'public places', but public opinion had not caught up with the idea that you can interfere with the smoking habits in the undeniably private areas of the home and car. Having established the right of interference in quasi-public places, their courage (if you can call it that) is growing. It has nothing to do with the level of risk involved, or the vulnerability of those affected, and everything to do with a steady process of invading autonomy in businesses, then in family cars, then in family homes.
How can you say in July 2005: 'the risk of exposure is unacceptable. We'll ban it with effect from next March'? There are other ways of handling bans of risky commodities, that leave you in little doubt that the government actually believes there is a risk and isn't just trying to mess you about.
The risk itself? The UK has a poor record on clean air quality, and it is to be expected that the government will concentrate its 'air quality' efforts on the smoking issue. This typifies the focus on lifestyle issues now being taken by global bodies, including the World Health Organisation, which has recently been trying to ratchet up interest in non-communicable diseases. This effort is reflected in the media by stories such as Unhealthy lifestyles to kill 52 million yearly by 2030. Such stories may not reflect the intention of the World Health Organisation (who knows?), but this one says that 'most' chronic diseases are caused by 'unhealthy and ethically wanting lifestyles'.
It looks as if they intend to blame the poor for getting ill needlessly. But they still want to treat those conditions that the poor would not be getting if only they behaved themselves. Is someone making money out of this?
The framework confirms the industry's crucial role in continued investment in R&D programmes to develop drugs for the prevention and treatment of non-communicable disease, with over 1,500 products in the pipeline currently. It also commits the industry to target its innovation towards the specific needs of the developing world. To this end, in addition to the framework, there will be a programme of research, to improve understanding of the specific needs of developing world populations. [emphasis added]Yes, there might be some very lucrative contracts here ... prevention and treatment of conditions that are killing off people in vast quantities (conditions that the patients bring on themselves, let's not forget!). The paragraph quoted above reads almost like a business plan for pharmaceutical companies.
The truth of course is that while lifestyle factors may contribute to ill health and many non-communicable diseases, there is no certainty about how much. It is not known to what environmental and other hazards workers, urban dwellers or other groups are exposed ('developing countries' include most of the world's population and a vast variety of working and living conditions), and while it might sound catchy to say that lifestyle factors are a common cause in their sicknesses, it is also profoundly lazy. Public policy will become limited to warnings about lifestyle issues, rather than awareness training about environmental issues and hazards at the workplace, for example. I hasten to add that I am guessing, but it looks like the World Health Organisation is taking a moralistic, judgemental and simplified approach to the issue of non-communicable diseases, rather than a scientific, measured one. And as we have already established, non-communicable diseases kill older people and people in wealthier parts of the world, more often than infants and young adult breadwinners. The 'paradigm shift' in the focus of pharmaceutical companies might be good for their balance sheets – will it result in improved conditions for people, or neglect for their most basic needs?

What is the Whole30?
What is the Whole30?
Certain food groups (like sugar, grains, dairy and legumes) could be having a negative impact on your health and fitness without you even realizing it. Are your energy levels inconsistent or non-existent? Do you have aches and pains that can't be explained by over-use or injury? Are you having a hard time losing weight no matter how hard you try? Do you have some sort of condition (like skin issues, digestive ailments, seasonal allergies or fertility issues) that medication hasn't helped? These symptoms may be directly related to the foods you eat – even the "healthy" stuff. So how do you know if (and how) these foods are affecting you?
Strip them from your diet completely. Cut out all the psychologically unhealthy, hormone-unbalancing, gut-disrupting, inflammatory food groups for a full 30 days. Let your body heal and recover from whatever effects those foods may be causing. Push the "reset" button with your metabolism, systemic inflammation, and the downstream effects of the food choices you've been making. Learn once and for all how the foods you've been eating are actually affecting your day to day life, and your long term health. The most important reason to keep reading?
This will change your life.
We cannot possibly put enough emphasis on this simple fact—the next 30 days will change your life. It will change the way you think about food, it will change your tastes, it will change your habits and your cravings. It could, quite possibly, change the emotional relationship you have with food, and with your body. It has the potential to change the way you eat for the rest of your life. We know this because we did it, and tens of thousands of people have done it since, and it changed our lives (and their lives) in a very permanent fashion.
Classes are Free Request $10 donation and/or 7 non-perishable food items
Upon registration, you will receive preparation instructions including a request to donate any non-perishable foods. This will help both you not cheat while on the Whole30 diet, but also help out your neighbors in need. The five most wanted foods by Valley Outreach are peanut butter*, canned fruit & vegetables, canned fish & meats, oils & dressings (check ingredients), brown & white rice*.
*Not allowed on Whole30 diet.
The Whole30 Program Rules
Yes: Eat real food.
Eat meat, seafood, eggs, tons of vegetables, some fruit, and plenty of good fats from fruits, oils, nuts and seeds. Eat foods with very few ingredients, all pronounceable ingredients, or better yet, no ingredients listed at all because they're totally natural and unprocessed. Don't worry… these guidelines are outlined in extensive detail in our free shopping list.
No: Avoid for 30 days.
More importantly, here's what NOT to eat during the duration of your Whole30 program. Omitting all of these foods and beverages will help you regain your healthy metabolism, reduce systemic inflammation, and help you discover how these foods are truly impacting your health, fitness and quality of life.
Do not consume added sugar of any kind, real or artificial. No maple syrup, honey, agave nectar, coconut sugar, Splenda, Equal, Nutrasweet, xylitol, stevia, etc. Read your labels, because companies sneak sugar into products in ways you might not recognize.
Do not consume alcohol in any form, not even for cooking. (And it should go without saying, but no tobacco products of any sort, either.)
Do not eat grains. This includes (but is not limited to) wheat, rye, barley, oats, corn, rice, millet, bulgur, sorghum, amaranth, buckwheat, sprouted grains and all of those gluten-free pseudo-grains like quinoa. This also includes all the ways we add wheat, corn and rice into our foods in the form of bran, germ, starch and so on. Again, read your labels.
Do not eat legumes. This includes beans of all kinds (black, red, pinto, navy, white, kidney, lima, fava, etc.), peas, chickpeas, lentils, and peanuts. No peanut butter, either. This also includes all forms of soy – soy sauce, miso, tofu, tempeh, edamame, and all the ways we sneak soy into foods (like lecithin).
Do not eat dairy. This includes cow, goat or sheep's milk products such as cream, cheese (hard or soft), kefir, yogurt (even Greek), and sour cream… with the exception of clarified butter or ghee. (See below for details.)
Do not consume carrageenan, MSG or sulfites. If these ingredients appear in any form on the label of your processed food or beverage, it's out for the Whole30.
Do not try to re-create baked goods, junk foods, or treats* with "approved" ingredients. Continuing to eat your old, unhealthy foods made with Whole30 ingredients is totally missing the point, and will tank your results faster than you can say "Paleo Pop-Tarts." Remember, these are the same foods that got you into health-trouble in the first place—and a pancake is still a pancake, regardless of the ingredients.
One last and final rule: You are not allowed to step on the scale or take any body measurements for the duration of the program. This is about so much more than just weight loss, and to focus on your body composition means you'll miss out on the most dramatic and lifelong benefits this plan has to offer. So, no weighing yourself, analyzing body fat or taking comparative measurements during your Whole30. (We do encourage you to weigh yourself before and after, however, so you can see one of the more tangible results of your efforts when your program is over.)
*A few off-limits foods that fall under this rule include pancakes, bread, tortillas, biscuits, muffins, cupcakes, cookies, pizza crust, waffles, cereal, potato chips, French fries, and this one recipe where eggs, date paste, and coconut milk are combined with prayers to create a thick, creamy concoction that can once again transform your undrinkable black coffee into sweet, dreamy caffeine. However, this list is not limited to these items—there may be other foods that you find are not psychologically healthy for your Whole30. Use your best judgment with those foods that aren't on this list, but that you suspect are not helping you change your habits or break those cravings.
The Fine Print
These foods are exceptions to the rule, and are allowed during your Whole30.
Clarified Butter or Ghee. Clarified butter or ghee is the only source of dairy allowed during your Whole30. Plain old butter is NOT allowed, as the milk proteins found in non-clarified butter could impact the results of your program. Refer to our Butter Manifesto for more details on the milk proteins found in butter, purchasing high quality butter, and how to clarify it yourself.
Fruit juice as a sweetener. Some products or recipes will include fruit as a sweetener, which is fine for the purposes of the Whole30. (We have to draw the line somewhere.)
Certain legumes. We're fine with green beans, sugar snap peas and snow peas. While they're technically a legume, these are far more "pod" than "bean," and green plant matter is generally good for you.
Vinegar. Most forms of vinegar, including white, balsamic, apple cider, red wine, and rice, are allowed during your Whole30 program. The only exceptions are vinegars with added sugar, or malt vinegar, which generally contains gluten.
Salt. Did you know that all iodized table salt contains sugar? Sugar (often in the form of dextrose) is chemically essential to keep the potassium iodide from oxidizing and being lost. Because all restaurant and pre-packaged foods contain salt, we're making salt an exception to our "no added sugar" rule.

What is SIBO?
SIBO stands for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth and is a condition where colonic-type bacteria (resembling bacteria normally found in the colon) proliferate in large numbers in the small intestine. SIBO may be caused by dysfunction of intestinal nerves or muscles, intestinal obstruction, or the presence of a blind loop (intestines form a loop that food bypasses during digestion). There are many conditions associated with SIBO including diabetes, Parkinson's disease,scleroderma, Crohn's disease, and others. There is a striking similarity between the symptoms of SIBO and irritable bowel syndrome. It has been estimated that 50-80% of IBS suffered have SIBO. SIBO may also result in symptoms outside the gastrointestinal tract including muscle pains, joint pains, headaches, fatty liver, PCOS, insomnia, anxiety and depression.
Symptoms of SIBO includes: Bloating, Diarrhea, Nausea, Belching, Flatulence, Fatigue, Brain fog, Headaches, Sinus, Congestion, Rosacea, Acne, Restless leg syndrome, Chronic nutrient deficiencies (esp. iron and B-12).
Causes of SIBO Intestinal motility disorders (Slow stomach emptying, constipation, Scleroderma, Muscular Dystrophy, Cystic Fibrosis, etc), Celiac Disease, Chronic NSAID/Opioid/Antibiotic use, Alcohol abuse, PPIs (stomach acid suppression), hypochlorhydria, History of C-sections, Appendectomy - might cause adhesions or damage to ICC, Genetics and Infections.
Should I Modify my Whole30 to be more SIBO friendly?
If you have symptoms of SIBO or have had temporary success with past Whole30, Paleo or Atkins diets you should consider adding in additional SIBO diet restrictions. Testing to identify SIBO is available through our clinic and can be performed in-house or remotely, in the comfort of your home. Breath testing after either a glucose or lactulose challenge is a non-invasive, accurate and cost effective way to determine SIBO status. Call clinic (651-342-1043) if you are interested in testing for SIBO.

GS1 Digital Link
The EVRYTHNG Platform supports the GS1 Digital Link format, which allows a single 2D barcode to provide point of sale functionality and also behave as a consumer-facing web-based URL at the same time to drive a consumer experience.
By adding standard GS1 Application Identifiers to EVRYTHNG Thngs and products, it becomes possible to easily configure support for a corresponding GS1 Digital Link. Adding on a redirection or Redirector rules allows any consumer who scans the 2D barcode to be dynamically redirected to a rich product experience while at the same time providing additional value to the brand before retail.
GS1 Digital Link Tools
You can quickly and easily get started using the GS1 Digital Link with our generator and verifier tools, which allow you to create a complete and valid GS1 Digital Link, as well as validate any others you may have already.
The tools use our digital-link.js JS library that allows easy creation, manipulation, and validation of GS1 Digital Links in code.
Supported Application Identifiers
The list below details the GS1 Application Identifiers that are currently supported for redirection when specified as part of the
identifiers on a Thng or product. Note that all GS1-specified identifier keys are namespaced with the
gs1 prefix.
Product Identifiers
identifiers key
|Must be stored as a GTIN-14. For example, an EAN must be zero padded.
|Consumer Product Variant (CPV)
|Only valid with a
|Component/Part Identifier (CPID)
|Identification of an individual trade item piece (ITIP)
Thng Identifiers
identifiers key
|batch (lot)
|Only valid with a
|serial / item number
|Only valid with a
gtin or
|Component/Part Identifier serial number (CPID SERIAL)
|Only valid with a
|Serial Shipping Container Code (SSCC)
|Only valid by itself.
|Global Returnable Asset Identifier (GRAI)
|Only valid by itself.
|Global Individual Asset Identifier (GIAI)
|Only valid by itself.
GS1 Domains
As part of the GS1 Digital Link Integration, each account is assigned a short domain of the form
abcde.tn.gg, where
abcde is a five character random string. This short domain is used for the generation and redirection of GS1 Digital Links. This domain can be discovered with a Read all Domains request.
Custom Domains
In addition to the built-in short domain detailed above, we also offer the ability to name your short domain, or even use your own company domain entirely.
Please contact us to find out more about this Enterprise feature.
Add a GS1 Digital Link for a Product or Thng
A Thng or Product configured as described below will only have a corresponding GS1 Digital Link and QR code if it also has a Redirection already set.
To enable the GS1 Digital Link integration for an EVRYTHNG Platform resource, simply set an identifier on the resource per the above table. For example, for an
SGTIN (Serialized GTIN) you would need to ensure the following:
- The Thng has a Redirection set.
- An Application Identifier
gs1:21for the Serial is added to the Thng.
- An Application Identifier
gs1:01for the GTIN is added to a Product.
- The Thng is linked to the Product via its
For example, see the
identifiers of the example product and Thng resources below:
"id": "U5FfewD3t9HBmXwwaG29daxq",
"createdAt": 1529584185752,
"updatedAt": 1529584185752,
"fn": "GS1 Bear Blog Edition",
"name": "GS1 Bear Blog Edition",
"identifiers": {
"gs1:01": "99507000009060"
"id": "UKkfeartMm9C8Hawa2DMnGss",
"createdAt": 1529584257929,
"updatedAt": 1529584257929,
"name": "Jim the Bear Blogger",
"product": "U5FfewD3t9HBmXwwaG29daxq",
"identifiers": {
"gs1:21": "02043"
Once these two pieces of data are in place, and the account short domain is identified, the corresponding GS1 Digital Link that redirects to this Thng will be:
- As of version 1.2 of the standard, alias values are no longer supported - use only the numeric version of the key, e.g.
01rather than
- Any attempt to access a GS1 Digital Link URL that does not produce a product or Thng will redirect to the account's
defaultUrl, if it is set.
For example, the above product and Thng resources will have the following GS1 URI for the serialised Thng:
and the equivalent product only redirection:
GTIN padding
To make your digital link URL shorter, you can drop the leading
0s from any GTIN. For example, if the GTIN is
00614141123452, when we generate the Digital Link we drop the first two
0s, leaving
01/614141123452. When we do a lookup for that GTIN, we will add the
0s back in before looking up the EVRYTHNG product.
GS1 Digital Link in the Dashboard
Once a product and one or more Thngs are correctly configured (as described above), the EVRYTHNG Dashboard will automatically display the equivalent GS1 Digital Link both as a URL and as a QR code.
The example Thng above would therefore look similar to the one shown below:
Generate a GS1 Digital Link QR Code
Using the existing functionality to generate a QR code it is also possible to generate a QR code that encodes the GS1 Digital Link (including any redirections present). To do this, make a request for the PNG including the
01 and
21 (if applicable) in the URL, as well as optional width (
w) and height (
h) values. An example is shown below:
GET https://dfnnr.tn.gg/01/99507000009060/21/02043.png?tpl=default&w=256&h=256
Accept: image/png
curl -X GET 'https://dfnnr.tn.gg/01/99507000009060/21/02043.png?tpl=default&w=256&h=256' \
-H "Accept: image/png" > ./gs1_code.png
The result will look similar to a normal short URL QR code, but will instead encode the GS1 Digital Link, ready for scanning by industrial/point of sale and consumer applications alike.
GS1 Digital Link compression
Compression support is in beta - we may make changes before the final version.
If you are interested in using these features, please contact us so we can enable it for your account.
Enable Digital Link 1.1. Compression
EVRYTHNG also offer a GS1 Digital Link compression domain allowing smaller URLs to be encoded into QR codes and still be resolved. In turn, the QR codes become less dense and therefore more readable at smaller sizes.
Enabling Compressed URIs
Once you have completed the steps above to add a GS1 Digital Link URI to a product or Thng, use either the digital-link.tools page or digital-link.js to compress it. For example, a product with GTIN
00789968000023 in an account with the
wrxfq.tn.gg domain:
Once compressed, this becomes:
The final step required to support the compressed URI is to substitute the domain
tn.gg for
g1.je which is specialised for this purpose. Thus the value to be encoded in a QR code:
Using Compressed URIs
When a QR code on packaging is scanned and contains a compressed GS1 Digital Link URI, the
g1.je domain decompresses and resolves to the original domain
https://wrxfq.g1.je/AQFv24YoLg >> https://wrxfq.tn.gg/01/789968000023
From then on, the regular resolution process continues to send the user to the product or Thng's redirection.
LinkType support
Since version 1.1, the GS1 Digital Link standard supports using a query parameter called
linkType. This allows applications to request specific content for a particular GTIN, GRAI, GLN or any other standard GS1 identifier. Imagine for instance an application wanting to get nutritional facts about a product given its GTIN. With
linkType this can be done in a standard way by adding:
linkType=gs1:nutritionalInfo to the Digital Link URL.
To use this with the EVRYTHNG Product Cloud, simply create Redirector rules that react to this parameter by using "GS1 Digital Link: Link Type is" as in the example below:
With this rule applications can now request nutritional facts for GTIN 09520246813579 by appending the
linkType query string parameter, for example:
The possible values of the
linkType parameter are specified in the GS1 Digital Link 1.1 standard. This allows applications to know what information they can request and how, this ultimately creates a universal standard for apps and web apps to request information about a product.
The values should be derived from either the GS1 Web vocabulary or schema.org. If neither of those are suitable, the standard allows you to use your own URI which should dereference to information about the relationship. For instance:
Retrieving all LinkTypes for a resource
If you add
?linkType=all to your URL, you can retrieve all available linkTypes for a given resource. The response format uses the draft IETF linkset standard, as in the example below.
GET https://dfnnr.tn.gg/01/99507000009060/21/02043?linkType=all
"linkset": [
"anchor": "https://dfnnr.tn.gg/01/99507000009060/21/02043",
"itemDescription": "Jim the Bear Blogger",
"https://gs1.org/voc/defaultLink": [
"https://gs1.org/voc/promotion": [
"href": "https://evrythng.com/consumer-engagement/",
"Language": "en",
"Title": "2 for 1 offer on Bears!"
"https://gs1.org/voc/review": [
"href": "https://evrythng.com/customer-stories/",
"Language": "en",
"Title": "EVRYTHNG Case Studies"
"anchor": "https://dfnnr.tn.gg/01/99507000009060",
"itemDescription": "GS1 Bear Blog Edition",
"https://gs1.org/voc/defaultLink": [
"https://gs1.org/voc/review": [
"href": "https://evrythng.com/customer-stories/",
"Language": "en",
"Title": "EVRYTHNG Case Studies"
Any constants that you add to your redirection rule will also be returned in the linkset, such as the
Titleattributes in the above example.
Header parameters
You can also dynamically redirect users based on their header parameters. Currently, the following are supported:
- Accept
- Accept-Language
- User-Agent
When triggering redirections based on header parameters, you can match using three different techniques:
- Exact: Use
isfollowed by the full header string that you want to match
- Wildcard: Use
isand add a wildcard
*to the beginning and/or end of the string. For example
*en*will match on any string containing "en", such as "fr-FR,en-GB;q=0.9,en;q=0.8"
- Regular Expression: Use
matches (regex)and regular expression syntax to describe your criteria. For example, the screenshot below shows a regex designed to redirect only when a code is scanned on a mobile device using Android or iOS.
Fallback rules for non-existent resources
If a client sends a request to retrieve a non-existent resource, per the Digital Link standard we fall back to the parent resource. For example, if the client requests the following:
In this case, no Thng with a
gs1:21 identifier value of
98765 exists. However, instead of returning a
404 Not Found response, we fall back to the Product, in this case with a
gs1:01 identifier value of
Finally, if the Product did not exist, we would fall back to the default URL for the Account (this is configured by setting a URL value on the
account.defaultUrl attribute).

Now you can listen to me from everywhere!
The album, firstly released on 2008, was recorded at Teatro Auditorio de Cuenca, Spain. From now, "Villa-Lobos - A Prole do bebê" is available on Spotify. Enjoy it!
Piano works from Heitor Villa-Lobos
The Brazilian composer, Heitor Villa‐Lobos (1887‐1959, Rio de Janeiro) is considered the "greatest composer of Americas". His importance inhabits in have reformulated the concept of musical nationalism in Brazil and was responsible for the approach of the musical vanguard's to the Brazilian panorama. His prolific compositions denote great spontaneity and improvisation, presenting an enormous instrumental colorful, multifaceted nationalism and varied experimental language.
The extraordinary contribution of Villa‐Lobos to the piano literature in the 20th century was due to his extensive mimetic and experimental work of new European stylistic styles, combined with his latent multifaceted nationalism. In this way, Villa‐Lobos composed two collections of works called "The Baby's Family".
The first suite, composed in 1918, portrays different personalities and attributes of the dolls, becoming very famous thanks to the pianist Arthur Rubinstein. Each piece has a double heading indicating the material of the doll and its etnia, except Polichinelo that Villa‐Lobos had inspired in Commedia dell'Arte. Some pieces are based in traditional Brazilian child songs and the musical language has a strong influence of French Impressionism.
The second collection, composed in 1921, is one of the most complex works of Villa‐Lobos and deserves to be considered among the great achievements of piano literature in the 20th century. It is composed in nine movements that represent pictures of toy animals, but the pieces are essentially "transcendental studies" for piano. The range of characters and colors is supported by a great wealth of technical compositional devices, even evoking onomatopoeic sounds, persistent contagious popular rhythms of an unusual effects.
Another important serie of the composer is his "Choros" for various ensembles, inspirited from urban music of Rio de Janeiro early 20th century. In Choro n.5 Alma Brasileira (Brazilian soul), written for piano in 1925, we find typically Villalobian marks, including the use of ostinatos, syncope, polyrhythm, multi-textures and percussive dissonances.
Hommage à Chopin was composed in 1949 commissioned by UNESCO in commemoration of the anniversary of Chopin's death. Here it is clearly perceived how Chopin's discourse is represented through the language of Villa‐Lobos. The Nocturne is based on a languid melody presented in the left hand that evokes the romantic nature contained in the Brazilian musical inflections. The Ballad suggests, in its melodic outline, the principle of Chopin's Waltz Op. 64 No. 2.
I hope you enjoy his music!

Top 10 Stories: Inslee's Budget, UW Plan Approval, and "Opportunity Zones"
1. Washington governor Jay Inslee introduced a $54.4 billion 2019-2021 budget and wants high earners to pay for it. In addition to a new capital gains tax, the governor wants to increase the existing business-and-occupation and real estate excise taxes.
The budget would be a $10 billion increase to state funding. If approved, $4 billion of the funding will go to complying with the McCleary decision, a court mandate for the state to fund basic education. Major initiatives include orca recovery and increased spending for special education and the mental health system.
2. Inslee's proposed budget includes bold measures to help the critically endangered orcas of the Puget Sound, The Seattle Times reported. Whale recovery efforts and associated environmental initiatives (salmon run revival, dam monitoring, whale-watching moratorium) will cost $1.1 billion. The financial commitment will likely stir controversy, but Inslee told reporters at a Thursday news conference that he is confident Washington voters share his environmental dedication.
3. Seattle mayor Jenny Durkan's top pick to lead the Department of Human Resources, Sue McNab, withdrew herself from consideration, Crosscut reported. McNab, the interim director, resigned from both her position as acting head and from her nomination to the permanent position. McNab's decision leaves another director position vacancy for Durkan to fill. Other city departments currently led by interim directors include human resources, transportation, human services, technology, parks, and civil rights.
4. Durkan met with three finalists to lead the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT)—and we now know who they are, thanks to Crosscut. The mayor chose to interview Sam Zimbabwe, from the District Department of Transportation in D.C.; Kamuron Gurol, of Sound Transit; and Mike Worden, retired Air Force major general and defense consultant.
Among the transportation demands that will fall on Durkan's final pick include bus and light rail expansion, delivering on promised streetcars and bike lanes, and managing the upcoming SR-99 closure. The position has passed through two interim leaders during the past year; Durkan has promised to make her decision before the year draws to a close.
5. Oregon and Washington lawmakers met for the first time since 2013 to discuss replacing the I-5 bridge, KNKX reported. The 100-year-old bridge crosses the Columbia River, linking Portland and Vancouver. Replacement talks started in 2001, but the project—Columbia River Crossing—ended when the states couldn't agree on mass transit goals. If the states can't make progress on the rekindled project, both will have to pay back tens of millions in federal funding.
6. University of Washington researchers published their findings on the effect of later start times at Seattle secondary schools. City and school officials moved the first bell from 7:50am to 8:45am at the start of the 2016-2017 school year, and the outcome has been positive, according to the US study.
Students' later wake-up times better matches adolescents' natural sleep cycles. "To ask a teen to be up and alert at 7:30am is like asking an adult to be active and alert at 5:30am," UW biology professor Horacio de la Iglesia told KUOW. The later time has shown an encouraging uptick in median grades (4.5 percent) and reduction of absences.
7. The Seattle City Council approved UW's 10-year plan for massive growth. Highlights from the plan's proposals include a 6 million square-foot campus expansion, affordable housing for lower income employees, and taller new buildings. The university's decade of development (in short: taller buildings, bigger campus, stronger infrastructure) looks to accommodate a population influx of nearly 8,000.
8. Seattle's downtown and Chinatown-International districts both ranked in the top five most promising so-called Opportunity Zones for investors in the country, GeekWire reported. Congress introduced these zones—economically distressed areas where development is tax-incentivized—in 2017's tax code changes.
State governors designate the zones; investors avoid capital gains taxes by funneling payouts into their development. Critics worry that incentivized development amounts to wholesale gentrification.
9. King County Sheriff's Office issued an interim policy on officers pointing guns at people, KUOW reported. The trouble started last year when an off-duty detective pointed his gun at a motorcyclist during a traffic stop. The motorcyclist sued King County in federal court after an internal investigation found the officer was guilty of violating courtesy and conduct policies, but not of excessive use of force.
The interim policy will define pointing guns to be a "use of force," and require any incident of that to be "lawfully justified" and "submitted for review." The permanent policy, expected early next year, will be subject to police union negotiations.
10. A coalition of transit and climate-change groups announced three city traffic priorities ahead of "the period of maximum constraint," Seattle Weekly reported. The coalition, named Move All Seattle Sustainably, called on the city to prioritize the timeliness of mass transit, enable easier bike commuting, and bolster pedestrian safety as the Alaskan Way Viaduct Project's three-week road closure nears.

Bathymetric surveying involves the measuring of depths within a body of water, such as a riverbed. The end result of a bathymetric survey usually produces a map showing spot elevations and contours of the riverbed in relation to the mean sea level. Its statistics also inform anybody living in certain areas of potential or ongoing coastal erosion, rises in sea level and sinking land spots. These are important metrics to know, because they can save lives.
The charts created are typically produced to make navigation above or below the water safer. They typically show seafloor relief or terrain as contour lines. These lines are called depth contours or iso-baths. If safety is not a concern, such as in deep waters where the depths are quite deep, then this process may also use a digital terrain model to illustrate the depths being portrayed.

From Bust to Boom with Finances
by Rochelle Griffin
Let me start by saying that I know what it's like to live paycheck to paycheck. I know what it's like to be tens of thousands of dollars in unsecured debt. I know what it's like to contemplate filing bankruptcy. I know what it's like to sell your home and move your family (including a 7 month old baby & 3 dogs) into a 600 square foot home with your mother-in-law. I know what it's like to cry from the stress of all the financial pressure.
Eight years ago, I was working as a registered nurse, was making a decent income, and yet was still dealing with all of the above. Funny thing is that I'm a smart girl. I know how to handle finances, but somehow I ended up in the position of financial hardship.
So I understand what it's like to hit rock bottom, and I also know what it's like to dig my way out (nope we didn't file bankruptcy) and create financial freedom that I never dreamed of. Along the way I discovered a passion that I wouldn't have otherwise.
When we were struggling 7 years ago, I did something I had never done before. I purchased a home-based workout from the TV. Thus was my initial introduction to Beachbody, a health & fitness company. Within 3 months, I fell in love and went on to become a distributer (called a coach) of their products. This tiny decision (because honestly I had only planned to use the distributer discount…not grow a business) went on to change the lives of my entire family…even extended family.
I went on to grow my business to the point where I retired from nursing to concentrate on my thriving company full-time. My husband also was able to come home full-time as well to help run the business. We paid off ALL our debt. We were able to invest in our future and our son's as well. We had the luxury of traveling where and when we wanted. My husband and I were able to financially assist both of our moms. Good stuff!
Beachbody (and everything that I learned about running a business) then became the catalyst for me to pursue my passion in Functional Diagnostic Nutrition…to become a practitioner and to mentor under one of the most formidable functional medicine doctors, Dr Daniel Kalish. Without Beachbody I wouldn't have had the fortitude or financial freedom to follow my dream.
So why am I telling you all of this?
Because I read every single comment to me on Facebook, every single tweet to me on Twitter, and every single email that is sent to me…I'm talking over 4,000 in just the last week. As a result, I know how so many people are hurting. A lot.
Please lean in and listen closely: I want you to know that whatever you're dealing with right now doesn't define what your future will be. There is MORE for you…bigger and better! I know because I've lived it…and I am no different than you. I'm a small town girl living in a city with a single stoplight. No joke.
On Monday, I am opening up registration for a 60-day Beachbody New Coach Mentorship. I'm extending my hand to anyone who's suffering in the way that we have. I'll be showing you exactly how I grew my business…step by step. I haven't run one since the beginning of the year and this will be the last one of 2014. Space is limited so grab your spot right away!
Get ready for life to change! 🙂
To Living Your Best Life,
Rochelle Griffin, RN BSN FDN-P
Rochelle Griffin, The Wellness Detective™, is a Registered Nurse (with over 22 years experience) & a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition™ Practitioner who has transitioned her love for fitness, health, & freedom into a 7-figure International company that now helps others live Their Best Life.
She founded Your Best Life, Inc with her husband Keith after stepping onto the edge of physical ruin with her health & the health of their young son. Having experienced a complete turn-around, they now desire to give hope & support to those who are dissatisfied with their current situation.

Mortgage Net Branches – Everything You Need To Know
Everything You Need To Know About Mortgage Net Branches
Mortgage Net Branches – What Are They?
Mortgage banking companies may have branch offices for production. These are generally known as either Affiliate Branches or, more commonly, a Mortgage Net Branch. These branch offices are managed by a branch manager who oversees both the staff of that location as well as the operating expenses. Many branches have full staffing, but others are operated by a single person.
What Are Good Choices For A Mortgage Net Branch
There are a lot of different things you can look for in a top candidate for a mortgage net branch. For example, an existing mortgage firm may be looking for ways to expand to licensing across multiple states without incurring the major delays or expenses that often come with that. Or you could find a top producer who's ready to stop raking in massive profits for someone else and making only a small cut off the top. And finally, you can search for a team that is already established and successful in the mortgage space but has much more space for growth in income, sales, and profits.
Are All Mortgage Net Branch Programs The Same?
No, mortgage net branches come in many different shapes and forms. Over 200 mortgage bankers and banks now operate mortgage net branches of some sort, and each of them has their own programs with widely varying details. For example, some mortgage net branches allow the manager of that branch to lead brokering their own loans, but others will not allow that. With some mortgage net branches, the branch receives a 100 percent commission, while others divide the commission. Many mortgage net branches only house brokers, while others include bankers in their ranks. It's rare for a mortgage net branch to be equipped for nationwide business, since that usually requires higher fees and can lead to lower profits if not handled properly. Finding the best choice for your mortgage net branch can be very complicated. But making a bad choice can be an absolute disaster.
What Advantages Are There To Running A Mortgage Net Branch?
One of the major benefits of a mortgage net branch is that yield spread premiums (or YSPs) do not have to be disclosed, since it's just a branch of a larger firm or bank. Since sub-prime loans are very rare nowadays, an increasing amount of mortgage loans will be made up of federally insured FHA mortgages or VA mortgages. However, it can be time-consuming and spendy to get the approvals required for handling those specific varieties of loans. By becoming a mortgage net branch, the branch manager can gain access to the necessary licenses immediately. Mortgage net branches can potentially even gain access to nationwide business capabilities, if they are part of a federal or nationally chartered bank. This avoids the need to track down and pay for licenses in each state individually. Mortgage net branches can also help cut down on paperwork and focus on originating first and foremost. The net branch will handle all the annoying administrative necessities, such as payroll, audits, and so on, leaving the branch manager free to spend their time originating loans.
What Disadvantages Are There To Running A Mortgage Net Branch?
The corporation that runs a mortgage net branch has to come up with competitive and enticing programs to offer to those branches; otherwise, managers will simply choose to broker out as many of their loans as they can get away with. At that point, the benefits of being a mortgage banker dry up, and you'll once again be required to disclose YSPs.
A lot of companies have entered the mortgage net branch business in recent years. The growth experiences by many of these companies can lead to a meltdown with their accounting systems, which then requires times to build back up. This is a tough milestone for companies; they're likely to hit a certain scale where that happens as a mortgage net branch. Whether or not a branch survives that event will determine whether they stick around as a mortgage net branch going forward. There's also a certain amount of time required to switch to mortgage net branch model. The net branches will need to hunt down state licenses, get regulatory approvals, and more, unless you're lucky and they're a nationally licensed bank. Plan for the time and costs necessary in each state that you want your mortgage net branch to operate in.
How Much Does It Cost To Start A Mortgage Net Branch
Costs range widely, but you can expect to pay a minimum of $500 and possibly into the thousands. Generally, mortgage net branch companies will hand any of the costs beyond the initial passthrough fees. If a company tries to charge you other up-front fees to start a mortgage net branch, you should be skeptical and strongly consider not dealing with them.
The goal with a mortgage net branch is first to save you money and second to make you profit. The net branch should make money when you make money. In other words, you should not be a source of profit for them until or unless they're a source of profit for you.
The manager for a successful mortgage net branch should set up reserve accounts to handle regular costs – such as utilities, rent, and phone bills – within the first few weeks.
How Do You Tell A Bad Mortgage Net Branch Opportunity From A Good One?
The best way to determine whether or not a mortgage net branch is good or bad is to ask as many questions as you can. New or less reliable companies may make it as simple as possible to get signed up, while the best companies will be much more discerning in who they sign a deal with. However, every company should require a background check; if they don't, that's a bad sign. Expect companies to have a minimum experience threshold and to actually call and talk to your references; be suspicious if they do not. Also keep in mind that most companies will be working with many different branches. That means if that if another branch does something shady or unethical, that could reflect badly on you as well.
The biggest thing to look for with any company before becoming a mortgage net branch is whether or not they will continue supporting you. They should offer up courteous, experienced, and thoughtful people as you work out your deal and figure out how to get things off the ground. If they're not providing a level of help that feels adequate, don't be shy about asking for more or looking for a better partner.
What Mistakes Should You Avoid When Choosing A Mortgage Net Branch Company?
First and foremost, be sure to select a company that has the experience and systems set up to support your branch and to help you grow. If all the company has is a flashy website, a mortgage banking license, and a budget for advertising, they're not going to be much help when you really need it.
Another trap to watch out for is hidden rules and restrictions. Some companies will stuff operation limits into the fine print of contracts to try to trick you into signing a deal that may not actually be ideal for you.
You need to be careful and smart when choosing to join a mortgage net branch. With a little thoughtful work, though, this can be a very exciting way to expand your career and make money as part of the mortgage industry.

Things to Know About Keto Diet, so staying hydrated is the most important thing in any diet. In low-carb diet programs, water intake becomes much more important than in any other programs. In this article, we will discuss the necessity of water intake on the keto diet and why there is more requirement of water in the low-carb diet. Most people think how much water should I drink on Keto and why do we need it.
Why Do We Need More Water On Keto Diet?
Dehydration is among the common side effects of the ketogenic diet. Most of us do not care about how much water we should drink especially when we are on a low-carb diet.
Reason: Carbohydrates are responsible for holding sodium and water in the body. When you are restricting carbohydrates, you are excreting the remaining carbohydrates in the body, which means that your capacity to retain water decreases. This shows the importance of water is much more in the things to know about Keto diet than in any other diets.
Side Effects of Dehydration is about the things to know about Keto Diet
If you do not monitor your water intake, then dehydration might lead to dry mouth, fatigue, headaches, and flu and cold-like symptoms.
Chronic dehydration can stop you from getting good results and may lead to long-term health complications.
The Need For More Water on Keto Diet
The body goes through many metabolic changes as the body burns fat. This is the reason why there is a necessity of water on the things to know about the keto diet. Below are some of the importance of drinking water.
1. Replacement of lost water
As we have mentioned, your body stores water as long as there are carbohydrates in the body. As soon as the carbs are eliminated, water is also removed by the body.
2. Regulates appetite and curbs cravings
When you experience sugar cravings or pangs of hunger while on the keto diet, it happens mostly because you are dehydrated. You should develop a habit of drinking a glass of water instead of satisfying your sweet tooth.
3. Less Stress on the Kidneys
Since ketones bodies are acidic and these bodies are flushed out by the body instead of being used for fuel to make sure that they do not accumulate on the body. Drinking more water ensures that kidneys are filtering out the unnecessary toxins present in the body.
4. Water helps in faster metabolism of fats
The process in which the fats are broken down is called beta-oxidation and that requires a good amount of water molecules. More water is required in burning fats as compared to carbs. This means that the more water is in the body, the better it breaks the fat molecules. Water helps and why you should know about Keto Diet as a health benefit.
How Much Water Should I Drink On Keto Diet?
Some experts from the Institute of Medicine recommend that an average adult should consume at least 91 to 125 ounces of water per day.
This will differ from person to person depending on the person and their lifestyles. It will also depend on age, gender, weight, diet, and activity level. For example, a person who exercises regularly and works in high temperatures will need much more water than a person working on a desk and living a sedentary lifestyle. So, you should be very careful if you are planning to go on the Ketogenic Diet.
