Content: Each and every member of our profession has a shared responsibility to not only develop him or herself but also to develop others. It is also clear from this statement that leader development does not occur periodically or sporadically throughout one’s career. It does not solely take place at a particular school, in a particular assignment, or through one’s individual efforts. Leader development occurs throughout all of those examples and many, many more. Unfortunately our current operational environment has created a culture and climate that does not completely embrace this view. A fundamental flaw in many organizations is the premise that leader development is merely made up of a counseling program and a handful of leader professional development sessions. For some organizations this mindset has become further clouded either because of a deliberate view or an inattentive focus on leader development where it has become something that resides solely in the realm of professional military education. Either through deliberate planning or lack of attention, those organizations have in effect abdicated responsibility to develop their subordinates and have become overly reliant on an educational system designed to provide the fundamentals of leadership. In some cases our expectations of each domain (operational, institutional and self-development) have become somewhat skewed. A great organization places the appropriate amount of focus on training, education and experience in all three of the domains by deliberately planning, preparing, executing and assessing their organization’s leader development program. | https://www.armyupress.army.mil/Journals/NCO-Journal/Archives/2017/October/Leader-Development/ |

Content: I would agree some are born with the ability to lead but it is through training and experience that they become effective leaders. It will be your job to ensure the Soldiers you are developing into leaders are given the chance to excel at every cost. You have to share your successes as well as your failures with them so that they can learn from your experiences. You must encourage your Soldiers to increase their knowledge by attending military institutional training as well as civilian education to help them develop. Institutional training consists of schools like the Warrior Leader Course [now Basic Leader Course], the Advanced and Senior Leader Courses, just to name a few. By attending college, it adds even more credibility to your future leader not only in the military but even as a civilian when they depart the service. To be deliberate in developing your future leader, you must have a plan laid out for them to grow and prosper. You must talk with them often in both formal and informal settings to assist them in their growth. There will be times that you will need to encourage them to do things that they don't believe they can achieve themselves.

Federal Railroad Safety Act
Learn from the Top-Rated Attorneys at Arnold & Itkin
Federal rail safety standards provide a regulatory framework for railroad companies that owners and operators must obey. The manner in which railroad companies carry out operations and maintenance has a profound effect on the safety and welfare of its workers. Lack of proper safety procedures, equipment maintenance, inspection, training, and record keeping can make the workplace dangerous for railroad workers. Understanding the Federal Railroad Safety Act of 1970
The Federal Railroad Safety Act (FRSA) was enacted in 1970 for the purpose of giving regulatory rights to the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). Any area of railroad safety falls under the realm of the FRA; they are responsible for both investigating and prosecuting all railroad issues. Since this law was enacted, the FRA has enacted laws to control factors such as the maximum weight of rail cars, engineer qualifications, and safe operating practices. This law also offers protection for railroad employees. | https://www.arnolditkin.com/railroad-accidents/federal-railroad-safety-act/ |

If an employee is treated as such by an employer, then an investigation can take place in order to determine if the employee was acting lawfully. Under FRSA, employees are protected against dismissal if they report hazardous conditions. For example, if you notice your employer taking part in illegal practices and report it, you are protected in your employee status. Employees also have a right to prompt medical attention should they become injured or ill while working for the railroad. | https://www.arnolditkin.com/railroad-accidents/federal-railroad-safety-act/ |

Railroad workers are entitled to safety. If anything goes wrong and a railroad worker is injured, an investigation must take place in order to hold the railroad company accountable and fix the problem so that it doesn’t happen again. The Accident Reports Act requires carriers to submit full and complete accident reports to FRA who is then authorized to investigate the accident in further detail. Accidents must not only be reported each time, there is also a required monthly report that railroad companies have to file with the Secretary of Transportation. The initial report sent to FRA simply includes surface details of the accident. Once an accident has been reported to the FRA—if the accident was found to have been caused either directly or indirectly because of the oversight of the railroad company—the injured railroad worker is entitled to a claim. | https://www.arnolditkin.com/railroad-accidents/federal-railroad-safety-act/ |

Content: While the parties have generally not been aligned on drug pricing reforms, proposals aimed at increasing competition have attracted bipartisan interest. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration Reauthorization Act of 2017, which nearly unanimously passed both chambers, codified an expedited pathway for certain generics if the secretary determines that there is "inadequate generic competition." Additionally, during a recent Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee hearing, bipartisan members voiced support for addressing anti-competitive practices in bringing generics and biosimilars to the market, as well as prohibiting pay-for-delay agreements. 340B Drug Pricing Program
2018 could be the year that Congress enacts reforms to the 340B Drug Pricing Program. Over the past several years, the 340B program has been marked by considerable uncertainty, driven, in part, by tension over the intent of the program and debate over the Health Resources and Services Administration's (HRSA) oversight and regulatory authority over the program. The House Energy & Commerce Committee has taken the lead on 340B reform, with its Oversight Subcommittee expected to release a report on 340B early next year. Committee members, Reps. Chris Collins, R-N.Y., and Buddy Carter, R-Ga., have been developing comprehensive 340B reform legislation, which could codify many unresolved issues, including the scope of HRSA's oversight and regulatory authority, the definition of a "patient," and the original intent of the 340B program. More immediately, if not addressed before the end of this year, we anticipate efforts to roll back CMS's 2018 outpatient prospective payment system (OPPS) final rule, which starting on Jan. 1, 2018, will reduce reimbursement for certain separately payable, non-pass through Part B drugs purchased under the 340B program. | https://www.arnoldporter.com/en/perspectives/publications/2018/01/5-health-care-policy-issues-to-follow-in-2018 |

Opioids

The White House declared the opioid epidemic a national emergency in October, and there is broad agreement among policymakers that increased funding and policy solutions are needed. Two signature achievements of the 114th Congress – the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act (CARA) of 2016 and the 21st Century Cures Act – authorized federal grants to states to supplement opioid abuse prevention and treatment activities, including improving prescription drug monitoring, training for health care providers, and expanding access to opioid treatment programs.

In addition to funding, we expect lawmakers to explore policy solutions, which could include requiring health care providers who prescribe opioids to complete continuing education, expanding the Drug Enforcement Administration's enforcement authority, and strengthening requirements for state prescription drug monitoring programs.

Legal authorities designed to prepare the United States and health professionals for pandemic, epidemic or biological, chemical, radiological, or nuclear accidents and attacks are set to expire at the end of fiscal year 2018. The Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Reauthorization Act of 2013 improved the nation's preparedness for public health emergencies. However, our vulnerability to natural and intentional public health threats remains high, as evidenced by the Ebola and Zika outbreaks and reports of enhanced biological weapon capabilities by state actors such as North Korea, combined with the challenge of increased antimicrobial resistance. Congress will need to turn to funding for medical countermeasures such as vaccines, drugs, therapies and diagnostic tools necessary to address public health emergencies and programs that protect Americans and the global community from health security threats. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief
The creation of the president's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) in 2003 was a landmark in bipartisan congressional commitment to combatting the global HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria epidemics. | https://www.arnoldporter.com/en/perspectives/publications/2018/01/5-health-care-policy-issues-to-follow-in-2018 |

Content: During the times of the Olympic games, messengers were sent all over the Greek world with details of the dates of the games, and called for a truce between any parties conducting in any hostile activities. There was also a ban in any death penalties being carried out during this time. The Demise of the Olympic Games
In 146 AD when most of Greece fell under Roman rule, the value of the Olympic games started to diminish. The games though still continued, and were enjoyed by those who attended. However, in 394 AD the last games were held. Under the orders of Emperor Theodosius I, the games were abolished. This was because the taking part in any worshipping of idols was forbidden. The Olympic games would have to wait at least 1500 years before they were revived again. The Modern Olympic Games
It wasn't until after efforts by French Baron Pierre De Coubertin and the Greek Dimitrios Vikelas that the games were brought back to life after nearly 1500 years in the wilderness. De Doubertin believed that sport was a very strong power that could inspire a feeling of unity and peace among the many nations of the world. | https://www.aroundgreece.net/history/olympic-games/ |

It wasn't until after efforts by French Baron Pierre De Coubertin and the Greek Dimitrios Vikelas that the games were brought back to life after nearly 1500 years in the wilderness. De Doubertin believed that sport was a very strong power that could inspire a feeling of unity and peace among the many nations of the world. He believed that this desire could be brought about with the revival of the Olympic Games. After an unsuccessful attempt at reviving the games, he finally achieved his ambition. In 1894 at an international congress, that was actually devised for the study of amateur sports, he voiced his view on the revival of the Olympic Games, and was delighted when the other countries participating in the congress agreed with him. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) was founded that year. Held in Athens in 1896 at the Panatheniac Stadium, the games heralded a welcomed return to the original beliefs and virtues of the ancient games. | https://www.aroundgreece.net/history/olympic-games/ |

Content: And in 1896 there were 43 events, compared to the 300 events at the 2000 Olympics. The 2004 Athens Olympics
The Athens 2004 Olympic Games took place amongst much scepticism and criticism whereby many believed that the Games would not be a success, that Athens was far too behind in it's schedule, and that the whole thing would be a shambles. The Olympic Games of Athens were a huge success, and showed to the world, that the Greeks, CAN achieve what they set out to do. The Athens Games showed that, though the world we live in today is much different from how it was over 100 years ago when the first Modern Olympic Games were held here in Athens, people from all corners of the globe, can come together as one, and unite under the flag of sport and peace. The Athens 2004 Games were a showpiece to the world, of the modern city of Athens, and the continuous growth of Greece as a whole. Greece can no longer be seen as country living in it's past, when it's present and future holds so much. With some of the most modern sporting facilities and stadiums in the world, Athens delivered on it's promise to host one of the most exciting, memorable and safe Games in recent years. The Greeks have shown that their hospitality and warmth still burns strong, and that everybody is treated as equal. During the Athens Games, areas such as Plaka and Monastiraki have been filled with people from all nationalities and all walks of life. The world came to Greece, and Greece welcomed the world to it's doorstep. | https://www.aroundgreece.net/history/olympic-games/ |

Art with a Purpose
Content: Art can open our eyes to the intricacy and beauty of the natural world. It can simply be a pretty picture that appreciates nature for what it is... or it can be a challenging piece expressing our complex human connection to nature. Art can serve a purpose beyond being an object of beauty: it can also address pressing environmental issues and topics about conservation, sustainability, preservation, biodiversity, and threatened habitats. Art has the ability to interact with and educate the viewer about these issues, spreading awareness about such important topics. We feel an instinctual need to take care of the things we feel connected to. Art can help renew, or spark anew, our connection with nature. Sustainable art is a movement whose aims are to ignite discussion (and adjust our perception) about the way we use our resources. Sustainable art seeks to make us think more deeply about the impact that our lifestyle choices have on the planet. Artists for Conservation is a group of artists who, in various ways, support nature through their artwork. | https://www.art-is-fun.com/nature-in-art |

Content: Transportation and transportation-related spending accounts for 9 percent of GDP, while road transportation accounts for 60 percent of all U.S. spending on transportation. In 2012, trucks handled slightly more than 42 percent of all U.S. freight-ton miles and carried more than 73 percent of all freight shipped in the U.S. by value. Obviously, a very significant portion of the cost of U.S. goods is directly related to the cost of highway transport. To improve U.S. competitiveness, a high quality national highway and bridge network is essential. After housing (33 percent), transportation (almost 17 percent) accounts for the largest single household expenditure. A 2015 study by the Texas Transportation Institute found traffic congestion due to inadequate capacity contributes to almost 7 billion of hours of delay on the Interstate Highway System and other principal arterials, compared to uncongested conditions, adding billions in costs to interstate commerce. According to the study, congestion in the nation’s 471 largest urban areas costs motorists $160 billion annually in wasted time and motor fuel. Highway and Bridge Conditions and Capital Investment Requirements
The U. S. DOT is required by law to prepare a report for Congress every two years that details the condition and capital investment requirements of the U.S. highway and bridge network. The 2015 Conditions and Performance Report, issued in early 2017, found: Just under 20 percent of the highway mileage on federal-aid highways in the United States failed to meet the criteria for acceptable pavement; | https://www.artba.org/government-affairs/policy-statements/highways-policy/ |

The document reports that just maintaining the nation’s 2012 highway and bridge conditions would require a total annual capital investment by all levels of government of $89.9 billion per year in constant 2012 dollars over 20 years. The backlog of work needed to bring all roads and bridges up to a state of good repair totals $836 billion. According to the 2015 report, actually improving the nation’s highways and bridges to meet strategic economic and safety goals would require a total annual investment of $142.5 billion in constant 2012 dollars over 20 years.

Take - If your doctor has prescribed an anti-nausea medication, take it as soon as you begin to feel nauseated. Eat - Instead of three large meals per day, spread your day’s food over five smaller meals. Choose easy-to-digest foods and stop eating before you feel full; overeating can increase nausea. Before taking your medication, try nibbling on a few saltines or toast. Avoid sugary snacks and drinks. Drink - Avoid drinking too much liquid with your meals, and drink slowly between meals to prevent triggering nausea. Take small sips of lemon water or suck on ice chips to reduce nausea. Rest - Let your stomach settle after meals. Avoid vigorous activity for 30 minutes or so, but do not lie down right after eating. | https://www.arthritis.org/health-wellness/treatment/treatment-plan/disease-management/five-steps-nausea-from-medication |

The terms of non-profit loans vary depending on the loan’s amount and purpose. Real estate loans, for instance, typically have a 15- to 20-year term. Regardless of the term, however, many non-profits find it helpful to pay off the loan as quickly as possible – ideally within two to five years. While interest and enthusiasm for a new initiative are usually strong, excitement can wane over time. Paying off the loan sooner rather than later displays fiscal responsibility and keeps pledge campaigns from dragging on for years. Your Experienced Partner

Unhealthy School Lunches Not Making the Grade
Processed foods that are high in fat, sugar, and salt have become a mainstay of lunches in schools across America and the results are in — experts say these unhealthy school lunches are a contributing factor to the childhood obesity epidemic. A movement is afoot to bring change to school lunch programs across the country.
Content: The possible consequences of childhood obesity can range from physical complications such as diabetes and high blood pressure, to social problems like low self-esteem and depression. And those problems can lead to children who don’t perform as well in school. Simply put: “ healthy students are better learners,” according to Rochelle Davis, the founding Executive Director for the Healthy Schools Campaign. “What’s wrong with school lunches is what is wrong with all the food we’re eating — it’s not just in the schools,” Davis says. “ One of the biggest deficits is the lack of fruits and vegetables and whole grains.” But there are many obstacles to improving unhealthy school lunches, not the least of which is money. Schools receive $2.68 for each free meal served through the National School Lunch Program, a federal meal program. That $2.68 must cover payment not just for the food, but also any labor, facility, and structural costs a school incurs. Additionally, schools are mandated to use part of that money for milk purchases. | https://www.artinstitutes.edu/about/blog/unhealthy-school-lunches-not-making-the-grade |

Another obstacle to addressing the problem is that some schools have given contracts to food management companies.

According to the Food Research and Action Center, 31.2 million children participated in the National School Lunch Program through more than 101,000 schools and residential child care institutions during the 2008-09 school year. “ On a typical school day,” the center notes, “19.4 million of these 31.2 million total participants were receiving free or reduced price lunches.” The government isn’t entirely ignoring the issue of unhealthy school lunches. The Healthy School Meals Act of 2010 (H.R. 4870) was introduced in Congress in March and referred to committee.

Meanwhile, some changes are slowly happening to unhealthy school lunches thanks to the non-profit world and the schools themselves. One example is that of chef and author Alice Waters and her edible schoolyard project, a one-acre garden and kitchen classroom at a middle school in California. Another way to find money for changes, Schreiber suggests, is getting volunteers into the school kitchens to eliminate labor costs. “When changes come they’re not made within the current infrastructure,” he adds. “ They come through grants, volunteers, and the edible school yard example.” | https://www.artinstitutes.edu/about/blog/unhealthy-school-lunches-not-making-the-grade |

Oil Paints — How Safe Are They? Posted on January 10, 2017
by Artists Network Staff
This article on oil paints is by Michael Skalka, chair of the subcommittee on artist’s materials for ASTM International. It first appeared as the Ask the Experts column in the November 2009 issue of The Artist’s Magazine. Q. I’ve heard people say that painting with traditional and water-soluble oils poses health hazards for the painter. Some say even people with whom the painter comes in close contact, such as family members, are at risk. Just how safe or unsafe are oil paints? A. Traditional oil paints are basically a drying oil and pigment. Manufactures also add stabilizers because modern paints need to be stored for a considerable length of time before use. Stabilizers keep the oil from separating from the pigment. | https://www.artistsnetwork.com/art-mediums/oil-painting/oil-paints-how-safe-are-they/ |

Content: Pigments can be as benign as common dirt or as harmful as many other chemicals are to the human body. Many of the paints used by artists from the Middle Ages to the late 20th century had varying degrees of toxicity. Even today, while the most highly toxic pigments have disappeared, no pigment should be considered nontoxic. The one property that makes oil paints so safe to use is that the pigment is bound in a liquid vehicle (the drying oil). Therefore the problem of dry powder finding its way into artists’ lungs or flying about and landing on their families’ food is eliminated. Even the nastiest of pigments, which no longer are readily available, wouldn’t give off toxic vapors or be otherwise harmful unless taken directly into the digestive system by mouth or, in the case of some pigments, they came in direct contact with unprotected skin.

Content: Remove the inner basket from the solvent can containing the pigment waste. Pour the pigment sludge onto a flat piece of aluminum foil folded around the edges to create a shallow pan. Make sure you support the foil with a palette or sturdy piece of cardboard. Let the sludge dry outdoors in a safe place that won’t be disturbed. Fold the aluminum foil around the dry sludge, and take it to your local waste processing facility for disposal. Many counties have paint and hazardous waste reclamation programs for properly disposing of these types of materials. Another option is to let the paint waste dry and then mix it with an alkyd medium to make a paint-like material that you can use to tone canvases or panels for future paintings. With an adequate, well-ventilated space and a waste disposal method that limits solvents escaping into the studio, a family can live safely with an oil painting artist. LEARN MORE

Content: It is called an annular solar eclipse because at the distance that the moon is from the sun, its diameter appears smaller than the sun’s. This results in it blocking most of the sun’s light making the sun look like a ring (annulus). This phenomenon will be visible from many parts of West and East Asia, India and Pakistan. 1. Have a bath before and after the eclipse
Partially true
Pregnant women are advised to take a cold water bath after a solar eclipse. This is to safeguard them from any harmful effects of growth of microorganisms. Cold water helps stimulate the vagus nerve (connecting the brain to the abdomen), which is responsible for the rest and digest system or parasympathetic nervous system. Thus, this helps in digestion. It also helps relax both the mind and the body. 2. | https://www.artofliving.org/in-en/culture/do-donts-during-solar-eclipse |

Content: This is because of the intensity of the rays of the sun at this time that can damage the cells in the eye causing retinal burns. You can look at the phenomenon with eclipse-certified glasses, which are a thousand times darker than regular sunglasses. You can also see projected or reflected images as opposed to looking at the sun directly through the naked eye. You must avoid visual magnifiers such as binoculars and telescopes completely. 5.

Fact
While it is a good habit to meditate daily, especially in the morning, it is specifically advisable to meditate during a solar eclipse. This is because of the connection that the mind has with the moon and the body has with the earth. As the sun is connected to both the mind and body, when all three celestial bodies are aligned, so is the body with the mind, making it a perfect time to meditate. Also, as eating is not advised during a solar eclipse, an empty stomach is conducive to meditation. Meditation also increases your energy levels, which is vital at this time when your energy level is naturally low because of the eclipse of the sun, the main source of power and energy. | https://www.artofliving.org/in-en/culture/do-donts-during-solar-eclipse |

Kartik, 30, is a software engineer by profession and a photographer by hobby. His average week comprises a 45-50-hour work schedule. Although a fitness enthusiast, his hectic schedule leaves very little time for him to keep his body in shape. Due to the long hours spent in front of the computer, bare-minimum breaks, and stressful deadlines, Kartik is now a victim of backache, fatigue, and constipation. At an age where one is expected to work dedicatedly, we often end up compromising our health. While many people would agree that a good fitness regime helps keep such risks at bay, it may just not be good enough. Choosing and following a good and healthy diet should also be taken into account. Irrespective of how hectic one’s life is, we can minimize the risks by selecting the right food. But is choosing the right food enough? The answer is a resounding no. | https://www.artofliving.org/in-en/yoga/yoga-and-food/food-habits-yoga-way |

What Can Manly Men Expect of Women?
Content: The are a few reasons for the disparity. The first is that men spent most of world history in a position of privilege (although there were real downsides to being a man during this time, too). Then the women’s movement happened and they lost that position. So when it comes to recovering aspects of traditional manliness, men are excited to get on board (not because they want the exact same position back, but simply because they see the past fondly). Women, on the other hand, fought for the last few decades for the position that they now find themselves in. So even if they aren’t totally happy with it, looking back to recover what was good about the past makes them feel like they’re betraying what their sisters fought for. And if anyone suggests that bringing back some old school femininity might be a good idea, it’s been ingrained in them that they should be offended. Second, women have historically been put on a pedestal, as the protectors of morality, while men have been disparaged as being baser in their nature. So it’s always been socially acceptable to castigate men but not women, because of the implicit understanding that women were just naturally pure and didn’t need much external encouragement to be “good.” Some feminists still seem to hold to this idea-that men and women are equal, but really-wink, wink- we all know that men are actually pigs. | https://www.artofmanliness.com/2009/12/20/what-can-manly-men-expect-of-women/ |

A real head scratcher to be sure. But these days women say they don’t want to be on a pedestal, that putting them there is sexist! So now that we’re on equal footing, can we admit that today’s women need some work too? Could we perhaps say that equality shouldn’t mean embracing and outdoing men in things that were traditionally considered masculine? That making out with other chicks for attention and lifting your shirt for beads and getting smashed and burping the alphabet and dressing in sweatsuits really has very little to do with being “liberated?” | https://www.artofmanliness.com/2009/12/20/what-can-manly-men-expect-of-women/ |

11 Ways to Get Into the Holiday Spirit
Instead of being a time of unusual behavior, Christmas is perhaps the only time in the year when people can obey their natural impulses and express their true sentiments without feeling self-conscious and, perhaps, foolish. Christmas, in short, is about the only chance a man has to be himself. – Francis C. Farley
There are just two more weeks until Christmas. But you know, it still doesn’t really feel like Christmas to me. I’m currently in the holiday spirit wasteland — that time after you leave adolescence but before the fun of Christmas is reignited by the arrival of Santa Claus-believing children. Some time during this period, typically in college, the holiday season starts to feel like any other time of year. You barely notice it and then suddenly Christmas comes and goes. It’s all part of growing up, of course. | https://www.artofmanliness.com/articles/11-ways-to-get-into-the-holiday-spirit/ |

It’s all part of growing up, of course. But while we advocate striving for mature manhood here on AoM, we also believe that paradoxically enough, the mature man is someone who retains a good deal of his boyish spirit. He simply knows how to harness it — when to reign it in and when to let it out. The holiday season is an appropriate time for the latter. I don’t know if there’s anything distinctly manly about the holiday season, but I do know that I’ve always really admired men who truly get into it. The men who don red vests and cheesy sweaters, who put up elaborate light displays and put on Santa suits, the ones who delight in finding just the right gift for people, and who just seem . . . | https://www.artofmanliness.com/articles/11-ways-to-get-into-the-holiday-spirit/ |

What Is Dry-Aged Beef?
Why Is Dry-Aged Beef More Expensive?
Can I Dry-Age Beef at Home?
Listen to my podcast with Pat for a primer on all things meat:
Content: You can find steaks that have been dry-aged from 7 to even up to 120 days. The most common timeframe for a steak to be dry-aged is 30 days. The meat doesn’t spoil during this time, because you age it in conditions that tightly control the levels of moisture and bacteria. During the dry-aging process, moisture is drawn out of the meat. This causes the beef flavor to become even beefier and more flavorful. What’s more, the aging process causes the beef’s natural enzymes to break down the connective tissue in the meat, making it more tender. A crust of fungus which grows on the outside of the meat while it ages furthers this tenderization process, while adding a nice, corn-like flavor to your beef (you scrape this fungal crust off before cooking). Dry-aging is basically a controlled decomposition of the meat, which sounds kind of gross, but results in a meat that is 1) more flavorful and 2) more tender. The longer a piece of beef has been dry-aged, the more flavorful and tender it will be. In his book Meat, celebrity butcher and former podcast guest Pat LaFrieda gives a nice explanation of how the flavor and tenderness of a steak changes depending on how long it’s been dry-aged, which I’ve condensed and summarized below: | https://www.artofmanliness.com/articles/a-guide-to-dry-aged-beef/ |

Listen to my podcast with Pat for a primer on all things meat:
Content: This is the most commonly requested age in steaks. The steak has developed the flavor and texture qualities associated with dry-aged meat: it is very tender, with a flavor best described as a mix of buttered popcorn and rare roast beef. At this point, the steak has lost 15 percent of its total weight. 45 days: The steak has a little bit more funk than the one aged 30 days. You’ll start noticing white striations in the meat which is a mixture of mold and salt. The steak has lost only a fraction more weight, and the flavor of the fat changes before the meat does, so it’s important not to trim off all the fat before you cook it. 90 days: The white crust develops even more. | https://www.artofmanliness.com/articles/a-guide-to-dry-aged-beef/ |

Listen to our podcast with Josh Bryant about how to get jailhouse strong:
Content: 1,727. Now, it’d be easy to take Bronson’s claims with a grain of salt. The man is not only a convicted criminal, but his violent, loose-cannon behavior has earned him the label of “Britain’s most notorious prisoner.” But Bronson is hardly the only inmate who’s managed to gain impressive strength without access to barbells, nutritious food, or supplements. Prisoners all over the world have created highly effective strength-building routines they can perform in the tiny space of their cell or with limited equipment in the jail yard. For men who are locked up, being strong and looking strong isn’t just about aesthetics and personal development; the appearance of size and prowess acts as a deterrent to attack and can be necessary for survival. While most of us will thankfully never end up behind bars, I think we can all take a lesson from convicts on how to not let your circumstances be an excuse for your fitness goals.

Artists are often quite knowledgeable about the compelling feats they can achieve with paint, but they aren’t always aware of what their paints are made from. From oils to acrylics to watercolors, some paints contain toxic chemicals that are potentially harmful to humans and the environment. And among those artists who are aware of these risks, many don’t know what they can do to prevent them. The good news is that painting has come a long way from the days of lead pigments and turpentine. And, with some knowledge and a few simple strategies, artists can paint healthily into old age. Below, we share some of the key health and safety issues pertaining to painting, and ways to avoid them. Know what your paints are made of

Paint swatches. Oil paints are essentially made of two components: pigments and a vehicle; acrylic paints are composed of pigments, plus a vehicle and a binder. Vehicles are the liquid part of the paint that holds the pigments in suspension, and binders act like cement, allowing the pigments to stick together and form a paint film. In oil paints, the vehicle and binder are one and the same: highly refined vegetable oils such as flax (which the paint world calls “linseed”), safflower, poppy, and walnut. These oils dry slowly through oxidation, creating a hard film of paint when they come in contact with air. | https://www.artsy.net/article/artsy-editorial-paints-toxic-chemicals-avoid-harming-environment |

In oil paints, the vehicle and binder are one and the same: highly refined vegetable oils such as flax (which the paint world calls “linseed”), safflower, poppy, and walnut. These oils dry slowly through oxidation, creating a hard film of paint when they come in contact with air. A skin forms over the paint surface, while the paint underneath continues to harden over time. Used alone, oil paints don’t release any chemicals into the air as they dry. But, if you’ve added solvents or mediums containing petroleum distillate to them during the painting process, their harmful contents will evaporate into your studio space. Acrylic paints contain the same pigments as oils, but their vehicle is acrylic polymer emulsion, and their binder is acrylic polymer. When they dry, the components of the vehicle evaporate—meaning that water, propylene glycol, and ammonia are released into the air. | https://www.artsy.net/article/artsy-editorial-paints-toxic-chemicals-avoid-harming-environment |

They’ll also list unsafe ways to use them, such as spraying, inhaling, or ingesting. Manufacturers’ websites ( like this one) also publish information about individual pigments and their known toxic effects. Your safest best, however, is to think of all of your paints and mediums as potentially harmful, and to treat them equally. Paints labelled non-toxic are considered safe for humans, but are not necessarily safe for the environment. Propylene glycol, for example, is safe enough for use in the food and cosmetic industry, but has a disastrous effect in aquatic environments, meaning that pouring acrylic waste water down the drain is damaging to waterways.

Content: Your safest best, however, is to think of all of your paints and mediums as potentially harmful, and to treat them equally. Paints labelled non-toxic are considered safe for humans, but are not necessarily safe for the environment. Propylene glycol, for example, is safe enough for use in the food and cosmetic industry, but has a disastrous effect in aquatic environments, meaning that pouring acrylic waste water down the drain is damaging to waterways. Make your studio safe
Nitrile-coated gloves. Implementing a few simple procedures can turn your studio into a safe place. Since all acrylic paints and their mediums (and many oil mediums) release dangerous chemicals into the air as they dry, ventilation is key. The solution can be as straightforward as opening a window, but if you regularly create large works and use a lot of paint, installing a ventilation system (or renting a studio with a system in place) is a good idea. Oil painters shouldn’t work around open containers of turpentine, mineral spirits, or citrus-based cleaners. Solvents evaporate with exposure to the air, and are known to cause a host of physical and neurological problems when inhaled repeatedly over time. Instead, open your solvents only when you need to clean your brushes, and buy more brushes so that the solvents can stay closed for most of the painting day. | https://www.artsy.net/article/artsy-editorial-paints-toxic-chemicals-avoid-harming-environment |

Solvent-covered rags also release dangerous particles into the air as they dry. By removing them from the studio at the end of the day, you’ll avoid walking into bad air the next morning. The rags can be hung outside for reuse or stored in a tightly-lidded, metal container until you can dispose of them properly. If they have oil on them, make sure that you wet the rags with water. Oily rags generate heat as they dry and can spontaneously combust if they’re crushed together in storage. | https://www.artsy.net/article/artsy-editorial-paints-toxic-chemicals-avoid-harming-environment |

You can buy comfortable gloves with a breathable back and coated palms and fingers from any garden or workwear store. A universal studio rule is to keep food and drink out of the studio. That sounds like it should be easy to adhere to, but most painters do at least have a coffee cup in the studio. | https://www.artsy.net/article/artsy-editorial-paints-toxic-chemicals-avoid-harming-environment |

The key is to know what’s on your hands before you touch it, and to always hold the cup by the handle instead of the rim. Mindfulness will help you to avoid consuming chemicals with your coffee. Washing your hands often is another simple and effective preventative measure. You should also avoid spray-painting or sanding your paintings indoors.

And lastly, an often-overlooked solution to a toxic studio is to find safer alternatives to problematic materials. Instead of using oil mediums and solvents with warning labels about the dangers of inhalation, try using only linseed or walnut oil to dilute your paints, and common vegetable oil to clean your brushes. Oil paints don’t give off gas as they dry, so these changes would effectively eliminate painting as a source of indoor pollution. Both oil and acrylic painters can also find alternatives to dangerous pigments, such as paints that look and behave like the real thing, but use safer pigments and cost a fraction of the price. Most manufacturers sell alternatives to lead, cadmium, manganese, cerulean, and more. | https://www.artsy.net/article/artsy-editorial-paints-toxic-chemicals-avoid-harming-environment |

Nothing should go down the drain or into household garbage where it will eventually find its way into the water system. This sounds like a lot of bother, but it’s actually not. Reclaiming paint sludge is as simple as finding a container with a good, tight lid and bringing it to a chemical disposal site; many cities and municipalities list these online. They also often make it free and as convenient as possible to drop off waste, in an effort to keep toxins from being improperly dumped. | https://www.artsy.net/article/artsy-editorial-paints-toxic-chemicals-avoid-harming-environment |

Insensitivity

Content: Bullying
Yelling, abusive emails, and attacks on another person's character are just some of the tactics workplace bullies use to wield power over others. Bullies target out-group members who seem vulnerable because they do not have strong informal mentors or allies. Managers should stop bullying because it can destroy a team and decreases productivity. Insensitivity
Organizations often do not realize how changes in their employee and member demographics may require a few tweaks to their social traditions. Jokes, comments, and events that were traditional elements of the organization's culture may have a negative impact on a more diverse workforce. Insensitivity can become a source of workplace stress, causing burnout, low morale, and sometimes more serious consequences like drug use and violence. Ultimately, insensitivity can expose organizations to costly employment lawsuits. The manager who ignores complaints of insensitivity is just as guilty as the person who makes the offending comment or gesture. Perceived Underperformance
People are influenced to act based on their beliefs, and their beliefs shape how they see the world, including their perceptions of other people. When you unconsciously believe that employees in an out-group are less skilled, less qualified, or less talented, you consciously look for affirmation of these beliefs. | https://www.asaecenter.org/resources/articles/an_plus/2017/january/the-top-five-barriers-to-inclusion-and-why-you-should-avoid-them |

Difference Between Real And Personal Property
There are two types of property. In legal terms, all property will be classified as either personal property or real property. This distinction between types of property comes from English common law, but our modern laws continue to distinguish between the two. Each type of property is treated differently under the law. There are many different types of laws that specifically pertain to personal property, and many other types of laws that pertain specifically to real property. Personal property is movable property. It’s anything that can be subject to ownership, except land. Real property is immovable property – it’s land and anything attached to the land. YouTube

Content: Japanese Occupation (1941-45)
The Japanese took over after the fall of France during World War 2. A Vietnamese communist army led by Ho Chi Minh rebelled against the Japanese and eventually declared independence in 1945. After the defeat of the Japanese in 1945, there was a power struggle between Vietnamese nationalists and the French, which led to the First Indochina War. First Indochina War
The Indochina War period between 1945 and 1954 was terribly complex, during which Vietnamese were trying to decolonize but were stuck in a stalemate with the French. Eventually the war ended when the Viet Minh successfully attacked the French airbase at Dien Bien Phu. While this victory marked the end of French presence in Vietnam, Vietnamese were yet to gain full independence. Vietnam was yet to suffer 20 more years of conflict during the Vietnam War, before it was able to enjoy peace and begin rebuilding. French Colonial Buildings
When you visit Vietnamese cities, you will see French architecture left behind from the French colonial period. In Hanoi, the Hanoi Opera House, built in 1911, and the Hoa Lo Prison, built in 1896, are most prominent. On 16th August 1945, the Viet Minh announced from the balcony of Hanoi Opera House that they had taken over the city. | https://www.asiahighlights.com/vietnam/french-colonial-legacy |

Six Sources of Workplace Cultural Conflicts

Content: For example, 63 percent of in-group employees surveyed said that if they report something, they are confident management will take the complaint seriously. Only 40 percent of out-group employees said the same. These groups also color how an employee’s actions are perceived by their peers and coworkers. For example, when shown a video scene of harassing behavior, employees were less likely to classify the behavior as misconduct when the perpetrator is a person in power or a member of a perceived in-group, Yancey says. Members of more marginalized out-groups were met with less empathy and compassion. “This research proved out that certain demographics really do have second-class experience,” Yancey says. While the separate treatment does not reach the level of a legally actionable different experience in the workplace, it’s very subtle—and it adds up—she notes. Power dynamics. The use of hierarchical power by managers can range from coercion to influence to empowerment. “ The reason power dynamics are so important in understanding the health of workplace culture—where a manager has discretion over the daily activities, career progress, and livelihood of other employees—is that the consequences of employees’ speaking up in an unhealthy situation can be so, well…consequential,” the Emtrain report said. | https://www.asisonline.org/security-management-magazine/articles/2020/06/six-sources-of-workplace-cultural-conflicts/ |

A shift in perception starts with an increase in awareness. When you're aware of the judgements you're making, the beliefs you have, and how you are perceiving reality around you, you can start to change it. Do you often notice the problems in situations? Simply being aware of this can help you to make a conscious choice to start to look for the silver lining, the blessings and solutions. Pay close attention to how you're feeling, and notice why you feel the way you do. Become aware of your patterns, thoughts, fears, self-talk as well as your triggers and reactions to situations. Through increasing your awareness, and noticing how you perceive and relate to reality you can begin to notice whether your perceptions are supporting you in creating the life you want to experience, or keeping you from it.

Mindfulness and presence in the moment is one of the best ways to become more aware of what you're thinking. When you do find you're in a negative thought pattern, stop! Release stressful, fear based and negative thinking into the light. Just imagine you're letting it go and then watch negativity dissolve into the light of the Divine present all around you. Once you're released, then choose a positive new thought which is self-empowering and in alignment with what you want to create and experience in your life. | https://www.ask-angels.com/spiritual-guidance/change-perceptions-change-life/ |

Content: The fusion of male and female gametes produces a diploid zygote which develops into a new sporophyte. This cycle is known as alternation of generations or alternation of phases. Bryophytes (mosses, liverworts and hornworts) have a dominant gametophyte phase on which the adult sporophyte is dependent for nutrition. The embryo sporophyte develops by cell division of the zygote within the female sex organ or archegonium, and in its early development is therefore nurtured by the gametophyte. Because this embryo-nurturing feature of the life cycle is common to all land plants they are known collectively as the embryophytes. Most algae have dominant gametophyte generations, but in some species the gametophytes and sporophytes are morphologically similar (isomorphic). An independent sporophyte is the dominant form in all clubmosses, horsetails, ferns, gymnosperms, and angiosperms that have survived to the present day. Early land plants had sporophytes that produced identical spores (isosporous or homosporous) but the ancestors of the gymnosperms evolved complex heterosporous life cycles in which the spores producing male and female gametophytes were of different sizes, the female megaspores tending to be larger, and fewer in number, than the male microspores. During the Devonian period several plant groups independently evolved heterospory and subsequently the habit of endospory, in which the gametophytes develop in miniaturized form inside the spore wall. By contrast in exosporous plants, including modern ferns, the gametophytes break the spore wall open on germination and develop outside it. | https://www.askdifference.com/sporophyte-vs-sporocyte/ |

Content: Candida albicans is a benign fungus or yeast that grows in the digestive tract and sexual organs. In limited quantities, this yeast is harmless. However, when candida yeast is allowed to grow unchecked, it can cause serious health problems. An overgrowth of candida yeast can lead to a condition called chronic candida or chronic candidiasis that leads to a myriad of mystery symptoms that can sometimes be difficult to pin down. Symptoms of Candida Yeast Overgrowth
Conventional physicians often overlook the signs and symptoms of candida overgrowth and some don’t believe it even exists. This leaves many patients frustrated and unsure of where to turn. Do these symptoms sound familiar to you? Chronic vaginal yeast infections
Frequent colds and flu
Itchy ears and nose
Sinus infections
Rectal itching
Leaky gut syndrome
Increased body odor
Depression
Chronic fatigue syndrome
Cravings for sugar and starch
Constipation
Diarrhea
Oral thrush
Bloating, gas, indigestion
Irritability
Mood swings
Asthma/wheezing
Abdominal discomfort
Multiple food and chemical allergies
Brain fog
Skin rash
If you only have one or two of these symptoms, it may or may not be related to chronic candida. However, if you suffer from 5 or more, an overgrowth of yeast may be causing your symptoms. Causes of Chronic Candidiasis
If a conventional physician does find an overgrowth of yeast in your system, he or she may immediately prescribe a round of high-powered antibiotics. | https://www.askdrmaxwell.com/chronic-candida-and-natural-prevention/ |

10 Reasons Yogurt is a Top Health Food
Here are the Top 10 Reasons Yogurt is a Top Health Food
1. Yogurt is easier to digest than milk.
2. Yogurt contributes to colon health.
3. Yogurt improves the bioavailability of other nutrients.
4. Yogurt can boost immunity.
NUTRITIP: Yogurt – Good for Young and Old
5. Yogurt aids healing after intestinal infections.
NUTRITIP: A Chaser for Antibiotics
6. Yogurt can decrease yeast infections.
7. Yogurt is a rich source of calcium.
8. Yogurt is an excellent source of protein.
9. Yogurt can lower cholesterol.
10. Yogurt is a “grow food.”
NUTRMYTH: All foods made with yogurt are created equal
Content: [rp4wp]
3. Yogurt improves the bioavailability of other nutrients. Culturing of yogurt increases the absorption of calcium and B-vitamins. The lactic acid in the yogurt aids in the digestion of the milk calcium, making it easier to absorb. 4. Yogurt can boost immunity. Researchers who studied 68 people who ate two cups of live-culture yogurt daily for three months found that these persons produced higher levels of immunity boosting interferon. The bacterial cultures in yogurt have also been shown to stimulate infection-fighting white cells in the bloodstream. Some studies have shown yogurt cultures to contain a factor that has anti-tumor effects in experimental animals.

Content: A Chaser for Antibiotics
Antibiotics kill not only harmful bacteria; they also kill the healthy ones in the intestines. The live bacterial cultures in yogurt can help replenish the intestines with helpful bacteria before the harmful ones take over. I usually “prescribe” a daily dose of yogurt while a person is taking antibiotics and for two weeks thereafter. A 1999 study reported in Pediatrics showed that lactobacillus organisms can reduce antibiotic-associated diarrhea. 6. Yogurt can decrease yeast infections. Research has shown that eating eight ounces of yogurt that contains live and active cultures daily reduces the amount of yeast colonies in the vagina and decreases the incidence of vaginal yeast infections. 7.

Yogurt is a rich source of calcium. An 8-ounce serving of most yogurts provides 450 mg. of calcium, one-half of a child’s RDA and 30 to 40 percent of the adult RDA for calcium. Because the live-active cultures in yogurt increase the absorption of calcium, an 8-ounce serving of yogurt gets more calcium into the body than the same volume of milk can. 8.

Do You Owe Your Child Self-Esteem?
Content: Try these tips and advice to help raise a confident child. Self-Image is How One Perceives Oneself
The child looks in the mirror and likes the person he sees. He looks inside himself and is comfortable with the person he sees. He must think of this self as being someone who can make things happen and who is worthy of love. Parents are the main source of a child’s sense of self-worth. Lack of a Good Self-Image Very Often Leads to Behavior Problems
Most of the behavioral problems that I see for counseling come from poor self-worth in parents as well as children. Why is one person a delight to be with, while another always seems to drag you down? How people value themselves, get along with others, perform at school, achieve at work, and relate in marriage all stem from the strength of their self-image. [rp4wp]
Healthy Self-Worth Doesn’t Mean Being Narcissistic or Arrogant
If you raise a confident child that grows up with healthy self-worth, it means they have a realistic understanding of their strengths and weaknesses, enjoying the strengths and working on the problem areas. Because there is such a strong parallel between how your child feels about himself and how he acts, it is vital to discipline to raise a confident child. | https://www.askdrsears.com/topics/parenting/child-rearing-and-development/12-ways-help-your-child-build-self-confidence |

Do You Owe Your Child Self-Esteem?
Content: Babies pick out the prevailing parenting style and form impressions. As baby gets older, it becomes important for him to learn how to deal with healthy frustration, as this will teach him to adjust to change. The important thing is that you are there for him; that’s the message on which baby builds his sense of self. High-Need Babies
The confidence-building aspects that result from attachment-parenting payoff, especially with high-need babies. Because of these infants’ more intense demands, they are at higher risk of receiving negative responses. When attachment parenting produces mutual sensitivity between connected parents and high-need babies, they learn to see themselves in a good light. Because of responsive nurturing, the connected baby knows what to expect. On the other hand, the disconnected child is confused. If his needs are not met and his cues unanswered, he feels that signals are not worth giving. | https://www.askdrsears.com/topics/parenting/child-rearing-and-development/12-ways-help-your-child-build-self-confidence |

No. Only loans incurred by the employee qualify; not loans of a spouse, child, parent or other relative. What does an employer have to do to pay off my student loans? If an employer doesn’t currently have a Section 127 Educational Assistance program, it will need to create/adopt one. It’s not complicated.

If my employer says NO, or they say they don’t offer an educational assistance program, is there anything else I can do?
I’m self-employed. Can my business get a tax break for paying my own student loans, and is that money still tax-free to me individually?
Is it possible this student loan deal could be extended into 2021?

Content: What does an employer have to do to pay off my student loans? If an employer doesn’t currently have a Section 127 Educational Assistance program, it will need to create/adopt one. It’s not complicated. Companies like Education Loan Finance help employers set up these programs easily and quickly. If an educational assistance program already exists at your organization, they will simply need to modify/update the language in the Section 127 plan to permit student loan payments. A few other requirements include: the education assistance program must be offered in writing (no verbal deals); the student loan payments can’t discriminate in favor of highly compensated employees; and the terms and availability of the student loan assistance must be adequately communicated to employees. Lastly, no more than 5% of the amounts paid can go to shareholders and owners who have more than 5% in the company’s stock or capital. | https://www.askthemoneycoach.com/2020/12/get-your-employer-to-pay-your-student-loans-in-2020-faqs-about-the-cares-act/ |

Content: Avoid changes to her food, food placement, litter and litter box placement. Try to keep her daily routine as consistent as possible. If she’s really distressed, it may be best to confine her to a relatively small space, such as one floor of your house or, in advanced cases, one room. Doing this will make it easy for her to find everything she needs. Restlessness and Waking at Night
A cat’s sleep-wake cycle can be impaired by FCD. However, as with most symptoms of FCD, there are also many alternative reasons for increased nighttime activity. For instance, cats who sleep more during the day can become more restless and active at night. Sensory changes, such as eyesight or hearing loss, can affect your cat’s depth of sleep. An increased need to eliminate combined with a decreased ability to locate or access a litter box can prompt your cat to wake up and wander around. Ask your cat’s veterinarian to do a complete examination to identify medical problems that could cause restlessness, discomfort or an increased need to eliminate. | https://www.aspca.org/pet-care/cat-care/common-cat-behavior-issues/older-cats-behavior-problems |

Ask your cat’s veterinarian to do a complete examination to identify medical problems that could cause restlessness, discomfort or an increased need to eliminate. At the same time, try to reestablish your cat’s normal sleeping and waking hours. It’s best to increase her activity level by engaging her in play during the day and in the evening so she’ll want to sleep at night. Anxiety can also cause increased restlessness at night. A distinct feature of geriatric anxiety is that it can manifest as nighttime anxiety. It may be anxiety about being separated from family members (who are asleep) or worry about navigating the house in the dark. | https://www.aspca.org/pet-care/cat-care/common-cat-behavior-issues/older-cats-behavior-problems |

It may be anxiety about being separated from family members (who are asleep) or worry about navigating the house in the dark. Your cat may keep you awake by calling, pacing in your room, purring by your head and by pawing at you for attention. FCD anxiety can improve with drug therapy. You can also consult a Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist (CAAB or ACAAB) and your veterinarian, or a veterinary behaviorist (Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Behavior, Dip ACVB) to see if medication may be helpful. Please see our article, Finding Professional Behavior Help, to locate a professional behaviorist in your area. Excessive Vocalization
Older cats may vocalize excessively for a number of reasons, including disorientation, loss of hearing and pain due to one or more medical conditions. ( | https://www.aspca.org/pet-care/cat-care/common-cat-behavior-issues/older-cats-behavior-problems |

5 SECRETS EVERY CHEF SHOULD KNOW
Content: In order to waste-not, pioneers and settlers used buttermilk to enhance everything from cornbread and biscuits, to stews and gravy. They even created household uses for buttermilk, such as washing hair and skin with buttermilk for beautification, or pouring it in the garden to fertilize certain types of edible plants. Yet, nowadays we find cultured buttermilk at the market. This high-tech processed buttermilk has nothing to do with making butter. Instead, bacteria is added to milk to induce fermentation. Cultured buttermilk is usually much more tangy and thick than traditional buttermilk, and cannot always be used in equal proportions in old-time recipes, especially when measuring by weight. Homemade Buttermilk
So if cultured buttermilk is fermented in factories to simulate traditional buttermilk, why can’t we make it at home? Well, I’m sure you’ve guessed by now… You can. And it’s so easy to do, you’ll never see the need to buy cultured buttermilk again. Whether you need low-fat or full-fat buttermilk for your recipes, you can make it in minutes! | https://www.aspicyperspective.com/how-to-make-buttermilk/ |
