Science Supports Reducing Children’s Sodium Intakes.
The science is clear... our kids eat more sodium than what is safe and recommended. Schools can play an important role in helping our kids get and stay healthy. As part of the effort to bring sodium to moderate levels for our kids, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) established sodium limits for school meals, which are being carried out in three gradual phases until the 2022-2023 school year.
The only health issues associated with too much sodium are problems like high blood pressure and heart disease – problems for adults, not kids.
Science strongly supports the link between less sodium intake and healthier lives – even in children and teens.
For example, kids who eat high sodium diets are about 35% more likely to have elevated blood pressure than kids who eat lower sodium diets. And, the rate of high blood pressure is increasing in American children. In addition to heart health, sodium impacts bone, brain, stomach, and kidney health.
Scientific evidence to support a decrease in sodium for school meals is inconclusive.
There has been a lot of noise about some sodium studies, leading to confusion and helping efforts to undermine nutrition standards for school meals.
A large body of scientific research indicates that lowering sodium intake lowers blood pressure in adults and children.
It is impossible for schools to meet USDA’s sodium limits.
Actually, more than 99 percent of schools are successfully meeting the updated meal standards. Some schools are already meeting the USDA’s 2017 targets. Many companies already offer foods that meet the target limits set by the USDA.
A variety of methods exist that can help reduce sodium in foods , and modelling suggests that some newly developed ingredients could make a big impact.
Kids won’t like the taste of foods lower in sodium and, as a result, will eat less of these foods, robbing them of the beneficial nutrients they provide.
Replacing nutrient-poor, high-sodium foods with healthier foods could improve overall consumption of other beneficial nutrients.
Gradually lowering the sodium content in foods can decrease kids’ (and adults’) taste for salty food over time.

Early Life and Enlistment - William Edward Lund Jr.
Private William Edward Lund Junior was born on December 11th, 1919 in Biloxi, Mississippi. He was born to William Edward Lund and Mary Antonia Rererich Lund and was baptized at the local Church of the Nativity. He was the oldest child with four other siblings: Audrey Mercedes Lund born in September 6, 1923; Irma Lund born in 1927; James Lund born in October 1931; and the youngest, Eugene Lund, born in June 1934.
Lund completed grammar school at Sacred Heart Academy in May 1933 and went on to complete only two years of high school at Sacred Heart High School.
As a teenager, Lund was an active Boy Scouts member. He attended all-scout swimming meets in Biloxi and was best at back stroke. At times, Lund liked to go out and fish in the nearby bayou with some of his friends. Lund worked as driver for the Biloxi Transfer & Storage Company.
In his early twenties, Lund met Mildred Premeaux whom he would later marry and have two children, a son and a daughter, with before being called to service. The names of their children are Kenneth P. Lund and Sandra Lund, respectively. His son was born before he left, but Lund was overseas when his daughter born and never got the chance to see her.
Lund enlisted at Camp Shelby on May 24th, 1944, and after about five months’ worth of training, he was transported across Atlantic circa November 1st, 1944 to Belgium as part of a reserve unit.

LONDON - Arsenal will be without Abou Diaby for the start of the new season after the France midfielder underwent an operation on his injured ankle.
"Abou had ankle surgery during the close-season break," manager Arsene Wenger told the club's website on Friday.
"He should be back eight to 10 weeks after his surgery which means the end of August."
Diaby was hampered by his ankle problem last term and has not featured for Arsenal in pre-season, missing the tour of Asia and the club's training camp in Germany.
He is certain to miss next month's Premier League games against Newcastle United, Liverpool and Manchester United plus the Champions League playoff against as yet unknown opposition.

Scammers conned $50,000 out of regular Australians using a blatantly obvious fake tax debt fraud. Multiple victims have been lured into paying off non-existent debt through Bitcoin ATMs.
Scammers have managed to con upwards of $50,000 from Australian citizens, luring them in to pay off a non-existent debt in a classic fraud. At least four victims from eastern Melbourne have fallen for the trick, local news media reports.
Purportedly, the scammers would call the victims and convince them that they have an outstanding tax debt and that, if they don’t pay it through a Bitcoin ATM in Braybrook, they will be jailed. The victims would then withdraw their savings from their bank accounts, travel to Brabryook’s Bitcoin ATM and pay off the fake debt to a specified Bitcoin account.
According to the police, this type of scheme targets vulnerable people who are easily convinced that their immigration status is threatened.
We believe that there are a number of victims out there who have not reported the matter for one reason or another, they may be here on visas or they are not aware that authorities would never tell them to deposit money into an ATM.
Anyone getting a call along these lines should make enquiries with the relevant authority before paying any money or giving any banking or personal details over the phone.
What is shocking, though, is that Australia doesn’t even accept tax payments made in cryptocurrencies. While there are certain projects which allow citizens to pay their bills with digital currencies, they simply act as intermediaries handling the bills on behalf of the user after receiving the same amount in cryptocurrencies.
What do you think of the fake tax debt scam? Don’t hesitate to let us know in the comments below!

Hanh shared the differences in her American style egg rolls to the ones you would find in her home country, "In Vietnam, they are wrapped in rice paper which is much more labor intensive and hard to handle and they stick to your teeth. They are much larger in Vietnam too- about three times the size and are made with all kinds of fillings including vegetarian. They are also served with noodle and fish sauce as a separate dish. In this dish the egg roll is the 'meat.' "
The recipe, created after much trial and error by Hanh's sister, Phuong, will produce about 160 egg rolls, (depending how fat you make them). You will have enough to place in your freezer and enjoy for months to come.
Ingredients: 1 pound of carrots, shredded; 2 pounds of cabbage, shredded; 2 pounds of ground turkey, chicken or pork; 2 pounds of shrimp (without shells); 2 medium onions, chopped; 1 bunch of spring onion, chopped; 2 eggs; 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon of salt; 6 tablespoons sugar; 2 tablespoons black pepper; 6 tablespoons fish sauce; 1 tablespoon cold water; 5-6 packages of egg roll skin.
Place all your ingredients into a bowl and mix well. My sweet momma is to the left, her friend Ann to the right.
Hanh, "The egg rolls are only as good as the filling. So, follow the recipe until you master it, then you can adjust it to your own taste in terms of spices."
To roll your Cha Gio, place a spoonfull of your meat mixture in the middle of your skin. Fold the left and right sides over the meat, then lift the bottom section over. Tuck and roll. Hanh, "Roll them as tight as you can, seal them well and make sure you cover the filling with the skin at least twice. Err on making them skinny instead of fat."
To seal each roll, use a dab of raw egg yolk. I'm allergic to eggs so I used a dab of water and replaced the eggs in the recipe with silken tofu. It worked great...so don't let any allergies stop you from making these, adjust as necessary. They're worth it.
There were 13 of us gathered around Hanh's center table, heads down, hands filling and rolling. It took over 2 hours to complete. (Hanh quadrupled the recipe so we could all go home with a stash of 50 egg rolls for our freezers) We love Hanh.
When you're ready, heat vegetable or canola oil over medium heat. Ensure the oil is very hot (sprinkle water and make sure that it sizzless.) Then, drop in your rolls to cook for 10 minutes and you notice a nicely browned exterior.

Working with complex systems means that even well written code can behave in unexpected ways, leading to outages and critical issues. Kubernetes allows you to easily rollout new code and quickly revert to safe, stable releases when issues are identified. But often the damage done in the short period between deploy and rollback is significant.
In this session, we’ll show you how to limit the effect of unforeseen issues using canary deploys with Istio. We’ll also cover ways to better monitor your applications in Kubernetes to help you spot potential problems before they affect your entire customer base.
Jason is a technical evangelist at Datadog, where he works to inspire developers and ops engineers with the power of metrics and monitoring. Previously, he was the community manager for DevOps & Performance at O’Reilly Media and a software engineer at MongoDB. He’s currently exploring the world while living as a nomad and would love to hear about the part of the world that you call home.

Study and Research at SIT, Tokyo Japan!
Make the future technology on your own.
Today's scientists and technologists pursue careers all over the world.
Shibaura Institute of Technology is a great place to prepare for such a future.
It is the only private university in Japan selected for the Japanese government's exclusive Top Global University Project.
SIT is a multicultural science and technology university in Tokyo.
We welcome international students for undergraduate and postgraduate courses, many of which are available in English.
Join us and prepare for your global career.
SIT offers twelve articles featured international student life.
You can get to know “Academic Studies in SIT”, “Living in Tokyo as Students”, and “University life at SIT”.
Shibaura Institute of Technology (SIT) is committed to using innovative research tools and information technologies to inspire and promote excellent inter-disciplinary research regardless of organizational affiliation or position within the wide spectrum of science.
SIT offers several programs for international students, who include bachelor’s, master’s, doctoral students, research and non-degree students. For details, please visit our official website.
Our Global Course of Engineering and Science (GEneS) is a new international master's course in the Graduate School of Science and Engineering. It was established in 2017 as a part of the Top Global University project. The philosophy of the course is "Learn from the world and contribute to the world." It includes studying abroad in a third country or serving an internship at a Japanese company.
In the Sandwich Program, a student remains registered at his/her home university while studying six to twelve months at Shibaura Institute of Technology. Lectures and project supervision are given in English, with Japanese language lessons offered as well.
Our Research Exchange/Laboratory Internship Program allows a student to work on a research project for up to one year under the supervision of an SIT faculty member.
The Graduate School of Engineering and Science offers in-depth academic and research opportunities to students seeking advanced knowledge. Students can also learn managements skills in addition to many subjects in science and technology. In our undergraduate programs, students can build their own personalized curricula with courses from four academic faculties: the colleges of Engineering, System Engineering and Science, and Engineering and Design, and the School of Architecture.
Japan is a great place to study engineering, especially for my major, electrical engineering. I chose SIT because SIT has strong networks with government and industry. The Global Technology Initiative Consortium, establish by SIT in 2015, is well known as the platform for the collaboration, in which a lot of cooperative activities are made to solve challenging problems faced by industry and government throughout the region.
but here as I am on a sandwich program, I get to the subjects from different engineering and that's very interesting. So I choose some different ones that I won't be able to take in Brazil. Environment here is very nice.
We study at SIT and enjoy life in Japan!

our research exchange/laboratory internship program allows a student to work on a research project for up to one year under the supervision of an sit faculty member.
the graduate school of engineering and science offers in-depth academic and research opportunities to students seeking advanced knowledge. students can also learn managements skills in addition to many subjects in science and technology. in our undergraduate programs, students can build their own personalized curricula with courses from four academic faculties: the colleges of engineering, system engineering and science, and engineering and design, and the school of architecture.
japan is a great place to study engineering, especially for my major, electrical engineering. i chose sit because sit has strong networks with government and industry. the global technology initiative consortium, establish by sit in 2015, is well known as the platform for the collaboration, in which a lot of cooperative activities are made to solve challenging problems faced by industry and government throughout the region.
but here as i am on a sandwich program, i get to the subjects from different engineering and that's very interesting. so i choose some different ones that i won't be able to take in brazil. environment here is very nice.
we study at sit and enjoy life in japan!

This post was updated 5 January to include links to AMD’s and Apple’s statements.
A major security flaw has surfaced that’s thought to affect all Intel microprocessors since at least 2011, some ARM processors and, less so, AMD processors. Unusually, the exploits, called Meltdown and Spectre, take advantage of the processors’ hardware rather than a software flaw, so they circumvent security schemes built into major operating systems.
Makers of those operating systems are racing to roll out a fix to Meltdown, which is the easier exploit to pursue, according to The Register, which first reported the effort Tuesday. The operating system redo will almost certainly lead to performance reductions in some systems during certain uses. But the fact that there’s a fix at all is largely due to security researchers at the Graz University of Technology, in Austria, who were unaware of the vulnerability until last month.
Daniel Gruss and his Graz colleagues specialize in side-channel attacks, ways to exploit systems using the data gleaned from the physical implementation of a system rather than a software flaw. In 2016 they examined ways to harden the core of an operating system—the kernel—against such attacks, and came up with a scheme they called KAISER. KAISER prevents the computer processes of user applications from managing to get at kernel memory spaces—which might, for instance, give someone access to your log-in information or a cryptographic key you’d like to keep safe. It does so by strictly separating kernel memory spaces in the processor cache. That might sound simple, but the peculiarities of the x86 architecture, on which most PC and server processors are based, make it a nontrivial task. They published a paper on it in July 2017.
At some point they stumbled across a posting by Anders Fogh. He had attempted to read protected kernel data using a quirk of how modern processors keep busy while waiting for slow compute processes to get their data. In such situations processors perform speculative execution. That is, they start working on what they expect should be the next task, discarding the result if they guessed wrong. Fogh couldn’t get the attack to work, but Gruss’s colleagues Michael Schwarz and Moritz Lipp did.
A related attack, which they call Spectre, is potentially wider reaching because it “breaks the isolation between different applications. It allows an attacker to trick error-free programs, which follow best practices, into leaking their secrets,” according to the website.
Unfortunately, KAISER is not a general fix for Spectre, which thankfully is trickier to pull off than Meltdown.
There’s been some concern about whether KAISER will slow computers down and by how much. Gruss and his colleagues tested it on an Intel Skylake processor and saw less than a 1 percent performance loss. However, they’ve seen bigger numbers on older processors, and the performance varies depending on what the processor is doing. For example, a program that needs to deal with large amounts of small files will likely see a slowdown because it has to interface with the kernel frequently, says Gruss.
Emails seeking comment from AMD were not returned by press time. But it has since posted a statement saying that architectural differences make its processors immune to Spectre. (AMD refers to it by its more official names “branch target injection” and “bounds check bypass.”) It says OS patches will keep its products safe from Meltdown.
Google, which discovered the issue independently, has listed what’s vulnerable, what’s not, and how to fix things in a blog post.
ARM says some of its high-end Cortex A processors are vulnerable, but that its Cortex-M products—heavily used in low-power IoT systems—are not. The full list and some technical details are here.
The Graz group’s website has a paper devoted to Meltdown, Spectre, and KAISER.

So my actual physical DVD and $50 in FREE GIFTS arrived on July 6, one month to the day after my order went through. I don’t know what that would have done to my 30-day trial period if I’d wanted to wriggle out of the deal, but I was too excited to see my next video!
…Which, I have been informed, will not even be available to view online until the 21st.
Either they really, really don’t trust their own customers to stay subscribed after seeing these things online, or they’re having even more production problems than I thought.
Am I… Am I the only person who has ordered these things?
Anyway, on to my $50 in FREE Gifts!
First question: $50 in whose dollars? It must be in one of those other countries who call their currency the same thing.
My friend was watching while I unpacked the whole shebang, and when I was done, she looked at me expectantly.
“So far I’m up to maybe 14 bucks,” she said.
Maybe Huck is planning ahead for inflation?
Let’s break down the magic.
Two, count em TWO, free stickers!
Note: I have not yet determined whether these actually stick on things. Nothing in the materials calls them “stickers,” so it’s entirely possible that what I have are two logos on shiny paper. They are just as delightful either way.
The Time Travel Academy backpack!
Help your children. Do not let them wear this to an actual school.
This item is more problematic, as it is actually called a backpack in the promos. If you were to call it a cheap burlap sack with strings on it, many people would be hard-pressed to argue with you.
But you’re probably only saying that because you haven’t seen the quality of the workmanship.
I believe you stand corrected.
I will hand this to Huckabee: It does seem to be a roomy gunnysack with strings on it backback. A kid can hold a lot of love for the right parts of American history in there.
Not to worry, thanks to the Time Travel Academy DVD case!
You're damn right I didn't take the plastic off. I know a collector's item when I see one.
Savor that for a moment. I’m pretty sure it’s the most valuable of my free gifts.
Pro tip: Want to make sure people heed your important safety warning? Write it in Comic Sans.
Maybe this is secretly clever? Like it's how Huck shows contempt for child-protecting government regulations?
Kids! Put down that homework and go back to making sure the neighbors aren't Communists!
Let’s drop a quarter in there for scale.
They're tiny so they can fit next to your concealed firearm.
You may be wondering whether the binoculars actually work, or if that’s just plastic in there. Well, I tried them out. And by looking through them and putting them down and looking through them and putting them down and looking through them and putting them down I did eventually determine that they do sorta magnify things.
Also, Huck knows how to motivate American workers to take personal responsibility for their own success and always try harder!
Sorry to leave you seething with jealousy. I’ll make up for it with a recap as soon as I am able.

Yes, we have a host of third-party lender options with no-cost qualification and guided consultation through the whole lending process. Ask our development team how to get started.
Will there be continued growth opportunities for senior care service?
The senior population is growing at an astounding pace. Each day for the next few decades 10,000+ seniors in the U.S. will turn 65. Today there are nearly 42.5 million adults in the U.S. age 65+ – a number that will double to 84 million over the next thirty years. Senior Helpers is positioned as one of the leading providers in this growing market.
Are Senior Helpers franchise territories protected?
Absolutely, our franchises are given a group of zip codes that only they can provide service to clients within them.
Is there a territory available in my area?
Please speak with our franchise development team to discuss opportunities within your area.
Do I have to have any type of medical background to own a Senior Helpers franchise?
No, our family of owners come from a variety of backgrounds including sales, marketing, HR, management, customer service, prior or current business ownership, and administration. The areas where we find commonality are drive, integrity, self-starters, compassionate, efficient time management, and a passion for working with and helping others.
Do you offer training and operations support?
Yes, our comprehensive new owner training starts with a 10-day visit to our corporate headquarters where you will be working with our leadership and support team in our training facility. Beyond your initial start-up and opening phase, you will be working with a business development manager providing ongoing operational support and guidance. Our company culture focuses on continuing education for our corporate team as well as our franchise owners. You will be provided many additional resources to help support the growth of your business.
Below are several questions Senior Helpers frequently receives from clients seeking senior care services. If you don’t see a question answered here, please contact us.
How will you find the right caregiver for our family?
During the initial assessment, we take detailed notes about your loved one’s hobbies, interests, and needs. We then review our caregiver pool to find the person with the matching personality and skills. A member of our team will also be present on the first day of home care for the caregiver introduction and to ensure a smooth start.
Do you train your caregivers?
Yes, extensively. We start by hiring caregivers who have experience working in senior care, then we provide education on Senior Helpers’ processes, standards, and core values. New caregivers complete a 6-hour orientation training that includes topics such as rights of clients, infection control, client care tips, and more. All caregivers have access to dozens of training topics about health care and senior care.
No, you should never pay a caregiver directly. One designated family member will receive an invoice every other week, and payment should be remitted directly to our office.
What can I expect in a typical day with my caregiver?
It depends on the type of service you have requested. It might include grocery shopping and running errands in the morning, preparing and eating lunch, preparing dinner for later, and going for a walk and playing games in the afternoon. We also have many activities available for our caregivers to check out from our Client Resource Library, including mind-stimulating programs for our clients with Alzheimer’s or dementia.
Will we have the same caregiver every time?
We can’t guarantee your caregiver will always be available, but we’ll make every effort to have the same caregiver for every visit. We may occasionally introduce a new caregiver so that you’ll always have an available “substitute” who is familiar with your loved one’s needs and with whom you feel comfortable.
What do I do if I don't like my caregiver?
If you or your senior family member is uncomfortable for any reason, please let us know – you won’t hurt anyone’s feelings. The most important thing is that you are happy and feel comfortable with your caregiver. If you would like us to find a new caregiver, call our office and we will assist you.
What happens if our caregiver gets sick or can't come that day?
On days when your caregiver is unavailable, we make every effort to find a substitute who is also a great match for your loved one. We will call to notify you of the situation, and if you have not previously met the substitute caregiver, a member of our team will typically come to your home to make introductions.
What types of specialty services do you provide?
Senior Helpers locations provide a full range of senior services that may include Wellness Watch, Sitter Services, Care Management, Relocation Assistance, and much more. Please contact your local office to find out more.
Can Senior Helpers help with medication?
When provided with a schedule, our caregivers can remind their clients to take medication at appropriate times, but they cannot assist or administer the medication.
What do you mean by light housekeeping?
It’s those everyday chores our caregivers offer to help keep the home tidy, including doing the dishes and laundry, ironing, changing the linens, and vacuuming.
What happens if our loved one goes into the hospital?
Senior Helpers is here for you as much or as little as you need us during this stressful and difficult time. As soon as you can, call our office to let us know the specific situation and an estimated length of hospital stay. We can help by providing our Sitter Services, during which a caregiver will stay with your loved one so you can get some rest. We can also assist with the transition to home, and making sure they are following the steps recommended by their doctor.
Right away. Senior Helpers is known for our quick-start home care approach, which provides the care you need, when you need it.
Do I have to sign a contract or keep services for a specified period of time?
We do have a standard service agreement that outlines the services that we will provide, which protects you and us. However, you can cancel our service at any time with at least two weeks' notice.
Can I make changes to the schedule if I have an appointment?
Absolutely! We just ask that you give us as much notice as possible by calling our office. Any cancellations with less than 24 hours' notice may be subject to fees.
If I have a problem or question, whom should I contact?
If you have any concerns or questions, please don’t hesitate to contact our office and speak with a member of our team.

Patrizia di Carrobio, an Italian countess, is the author of two Italian style classics: Diamanti: Una Guida Personale (Diamonds: A Personal Guide) and Conoscere I Gioielli: Come Sceglierli e Portarli (Knowing Jewels: How to Choose and Wear Them). Bestsellers in Italy, both books articulate her view that jewelry can inspire what is best within us. The books have garnered rave reviews in publications like Vogue, Elle, Marie Claire, Vanity Fair and Flair. In her latest book, Be Jeweled, released in Italy in late 2017 and in the United States in March of 2018, Patrizia combines memories of her own life in jewels with tales of adornment in history, fashion, literature and art.
As an international dealer of precious gems and vintage jewelry for more than 30 years, Patrizia's family history precedes her: While sharing an apartment with fashion legend Elsa Schiaparelli, Patrizia’s grandmother Contessa Gabriella Nicolis di Robilant served as a fashion and jewelry advisor to wealthy American traveling to Paris.
Patrizia began her own career at Christie’s in New York in 1980, quickly becoming one of the firm’s senior gem appraisers, and eventually heading the Jewelry Department. She was the first female auctioneer in the Jewelry Department and generated a record-breaking $30 million sale, the largest such sale in North America at the time. Her passion for jewelry spans centuries, cultures, and genres—from costume jewelry to Crown Jewels. She deals in important diamonds, pearls, emeralds, and royal jewels, as well as important pieces by jewelers such as Louis Comfort Tiffany, Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Bulgari, and JAR. She has also lent items from her collection to celebrities for Oscar and Emmy red carpet appearances.
Patrizia serves on the boards of the Philharmonic Orchestra of the Americas and the Limon Dance Organization. She also volunteers for Bottomless Closet, a non-profit group that provide training and professional attire to disadvantaged women for job interviews.
Born in Canada to Italian parents, Patrizia has lived in four European countries. She currently resides in New York City and travels the globe to buy and sell stones and jewelry for an international clientele, while also touring the U.S. and Europe to lecture on jewelry.

Standing out amongst the competition is always a challenge. However taking a risk to be unconventional is intriguing.
Located in the Northern Ontario city of Sudbury, Collège Boréal, a Francophone college with satellite campuses across the province, needed to increase interest from 18-23 year old potential applicants/students seeking a French language post secondary educational experience.
Attracting a demographic that has embraced the iPod, the Wii, lap top computers and WiFi and is driven by conservation themes was definitely a task in itself considering the heavily saturated nature of the post secondary market.
Post secondary institutions have tended to be conservative with marketing tactics by showcasing programs offered and highlighting students as primary campaign characters. The client specifically and clearly articulated a vision that their TV spot would stand out from other institutional ads, be different, unique, and phat.
The main character of the Collège Boréal spot is a Smart Car. The character was essentially brought to life playing the role as the student. The Smart Car size allowed the Collège Boréal campus to serve as the filming location. The “cuteness” of the car aided by a full body wrap created a clever personality for this automobile.
After touring the Collège Boréal campus, it was evident the spot should highlight the modern architecture, spacious campus learning environments, and small class sizes. The Smart Car moved freely throughout the campus, participating in daily student life at sporting events, in classes and even taking a casual outdoor stroll with an attractive female student.
The launch of the TV spot has been a tremendous hit. Since airing, Collège Boréal has fielded numerous calls and requests from prospective students. Collège Boréal will build upon the Smart Car‘s TV spot success by giving it away in a draw to a student attending in the 2009-2010 academic school year.

Back in 1997, a band called Suicide Culture formed. Under that name, the members of Suicide Culture melted the faces of Seattle metal heads until they decided it was time for a change. Thus, Funeral Age was born! Officially changing its name in 2003, Funeral Age began a reign of destruction over their home city. Featuring only 3 members with only one still in the band today, Fistful of Christ is a testament to the older work of Suicide Culture while adding more black metal infused riffs. Starting the madness off with a solid, running bass intro, the men of Funeral Age waste no time jumping into the metal. Within seconds, a crushing guitar riff kicks off and they tear into the first track (that isn't a small instrumental,) Fistful of Christ. From then on, Funeral Age delivers an absolutely devastating mix of death metal drumming and blackened death metal riffs throughout the whole album.
In every song, the guitar work is what sticks out the most. From impressive shredding solos to dominating and powerful riffs, Funeral Age really sticks out in terms of technicality. There is not a track on this album that lacks in impressive guitar work which is hard to say for a lot of albums. The guitar work seems to sound like later-age Dissection when they turned a bit away from black metal and added some death metal elements into their music. The bassist also gets quite a few chances to shine through and really show off his talent as well. The intro to the album features the bass, something quite rare for death metal. Towards the end of the album, there is an instrumental section that is only guitar and bass. While somewhat out of place, the instrumental work on it is quite good. The drumming is very good for this type of music. Too often do you hear death metal bands revolving mainly around blast beats and after a while, the music starts to sound bland and uninteresting. Here, the kick drum is utilized to really drive the music forward more than the snare and cymbals. The fills are extremely impressive and precise. The drummer is extremely talented with his hands and has incredible dexterity when it comes to creating extremely fast and technical patterns. The vocals are an interesting piece of this album. There is a hint of Pantera-esque vocals in the first few tracks, but also some hints towards Insahn's style in the later parts of the album. This might just be me, but there seem to be a lot of black metal influences at play here.
Honestly, I am not one to like death metal very often. Fistful of Christ is an album I have found myself constantly coming back to for more because of its sheer energy. It is pure testosterone-fueled metal, giving the listener a great rush of adrenaline. The instrumental track, Requiem of the Condemned seems a little out of place and doesn't keep the high intensity feeling of the other tracks going. That being said, this is definitely an album to check out for anyone looking to bang their head and pump their fist!

The place that gave us Joey Buttafuoco is giving the world another reason to ridicule it.
Long Island Iced Tea Corp., a soft drink company, saw its stock more than triple on Thursday after it changed its name to Long Blockchain.
We will be patient while you beat your head into a concrete wall after reading that previous sentence.
O.K., just get a bandage and some aspirin and we will try to continue.
As we were saying, a company that sweetened water has found a way to lure imbeciles to give it money: a name change that evokes the cryptocurrency revolution.
“Long Island Iced Tea Corp. (NasdaqCM: LTEA) (the “Company”), today announced that the parent company is shifting its primary corporate focus towards the exploration of and investment in opportunities that leverage the benefits of blockchain technology,” said the company on Thursday in a press release dripping with a contempt for humanity rivaling the brutal regime of Idi Amin.
This isn’t the first time the company has pulled the wool over the eyes of the public with its name.
Meanwhile, the company that until recently called itself Long Island Iced Tea Corp. sells drinks more similar to fellow Islanders Snapple than it does to schnapps. They’re in the flavored iced tea and lemonade market—not purveyors of the disgusting drink of the same name.
It has just 19 employees, according to data from Yahoo Finance. And while sales are up for the microcap company, its bottom line is a big hole that’s only getting bigger.
In 2015, the company reported to the SEC just $1.9 million in sales but with a loss of $3.2 million. The following year, sales were up to $4.6 million but losses were $10.5 million. Over the last reported four quarters (including 2016 Q4), the company had revenues of $5 million but a negative net income of $13.6 million. Operating cash flows were negative $9.2 million Its retained earnings—for a company in the black, it’s the profits it keeps for reinvestment—are now negative $25.2 million, double what it was last year.
Summing it up, it loses more than $2 for every $1 it makes and its losses are adding up.
To pay its bills, the company has had to sell shares—some $6.8 million worth in the past four reported quarters alone. A month ago, Long Island Iced Tea filed an S-1 form with the SEC looking to raise an additional $10 million. That filing was withdrawn on Thursday as it changed its name to Long Blockchain, “in conjuction with the shift in business strategy,” as per its press release.
In other words, this may have been as a little as a couple of phone call discussions for all the world knows. Investors who were putting their money into a consumer product were now told their company was pivoting into a financial services blockchain company whether they planned it or not. Granted, those investors could have just put their money into a company already in the business and not experts in mango-infused lemonade, but here we are.
It was all enough for penny stock players to jump in and gobble up shares in ways a struggling iced tea business with heavy losses couldn’t imagine. The stock, which closed on Wednesday at $2.44, went as high as $9.49 the following day.
In the late 1990s, at the height of the first internet bubble, obscure penny stocks in obscure sectors would see huge pops just by adding “.com” to their names. Some were part of “pump and dump” schemes, where promoters would stuff hyped shares on to small investors looking to get rich quick only to end up burned.
In fact, around that time, a film came out called “Boiler Room” about sketch stock manipulators working for a firm called J.T. Marlin.
Its headquarters was on Long Island.
