"It's important to keep microbes happy—they can't function alone and so much of what farmers do depends on them," says Bob Perry, general manager, Perry Agricultural Laboratory, a soil testing lab in Bowling Green, Mo.
Your tillage practices, fertilizer applications, soil pH and compaction levels all affect soil productivity. Boost soil health—and yields—by keeping microbes happy.
Microbes play an essential role in nutrient uptake. "Soil organisms recycle nutrients, break down crop residue and help build the soil," says Eileen Kladivko, Purdue University professor of agronomy.
The type of residue plays a role in decomposition. "Coarse forms such as straw, seed coats, etc., are high in carbon and need to be balanced out with nitrates," Perry says. Soybeans are a 30:1 carbon-to-nitrogen ratio while corn is 60:1 and wheat is 100:1.
To break down carbon-heavy residue, microbes need energy in the form of nitrates. When you apply nitrates, only 40% of applied nitrogen makes it directly to the plant. Most of the nitrogen is used by microbes, which later becomes beneficial for the crop.
Simple steps can ensure your soil is a healthy environment for crops and microbes. "When we talk about soil health a lot of it is understanding the soil is living, and microbes are like livestock that need food, shelter, water and air," says Matt Stukenholtz, supervisor of chemistry at Midwest Laboratories. "These living organisms benefit me—what can I do to promote them?"
- Have enough nitrogen to manage your residue carbon loads. Talk to your fertilizer dealer for nitrogen tips if you're unsure of application rates. When figuring out nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium application rates, don't forget about zinc, copper, sulfur and other micronutrients important to soil and microbial health.
- Soil needs oxygen. This could come from light tillage, but if soil erosion is a risk, full tillage might not be the best idea. Improve drainage to avoid ponding, which depletes oxygen levels, and consider cover crops. "When we keep the soil covered it makes a better environment for microbes," Kladivko says. "Living root systems are essential for soil biology."
- Run through the what ifs, Perry says. "If I use this chemical with this fertilizer, this will happen. Find out how it affects soil health," he adds.
The Role of Organic MatterOrganic matter plays many different roles in soil—from increasing microbial activity to improving water-holding capacity. According to Rafiq Islam, Ohio State University soil scientist, soil organic matter plays a key role in soil health by:

Water, Water Everywhere But Not A Drop To Drink
A bill under consideration by state lawmakers would prevent farmers from withdrawing some water from the Flint River basin during severe drought. Opponents say the bill would permit government overreach, and threaten individual property rights. But the bill's supporters say it would be in effect during extreme weather conditions only, and would pertain only to water from augmented stream flows.

3 Body Hacks to Stop Anxiety in Its Tracks
Wish you could instantly stop an oncoming anxiety attack? Fortunately for all of us with anxiety disorders, there are powerful ways we can use our body's biology to stop anxiety. I've saved myself from many panic attacks with these techniques.
Your body is a powerful and capable entity. It gives you the ability to rush into flight or fight mode when threatened and this response—which evolved over millions of years—is something that can save your life. Of course, if you're like me and you live with anxiety, you also know the body can be a little oversensitive to flight or fight mode.
Fortunately for us, science can empower us to stop this response. As a result, our anxiety ends.
By understanding the natural way your body responds to stress, you can stop anxiety
All three techniques mentioned in this episode create states of restfulness, contentment, and calm. It's possible to flip our hormones, blood pressure, and the parts of our nervous system that all spike when we're anxious. By doing this, we can stop anxiety, all by understanding how to work with our bodies when they're stressed.
An even cooler thing about these techniques? No one will even notice if you use these in public.
You can stealthily stop the most sudden panic attacks without anyone blinking an eye at you. I've done this many times—both in places where anxiety is normalized (like before giving a talk!) and in times where it rises out of the blue (panic attack in the middle of the sidewalk, anyone?).
I know each of our bodies, minds, and responses to anxiety are different. This is why I share three exercises—there's bound to be at least one that makes a positive impact in your life. Additionally, each one has scientific reasons why they are so effective at calming us—meaning that they really are proven to stop anxiety. Find what works for you and feel free to modify these as needed too.
If you're ready to learn some loving life hacks to bring your body into a calmer state, check out the episode below!
It's a joy to share these powerful coping mechanisms with you.I'll be absolutely elated if even one of these helps you stop anxiety and saves you from a moment of that painful, stressful experience. In fact, I'd love to hear about it.
Which one of these techniques is the most effective for you? Which one are you the most willing to try?
Over 18% of adults are afflicted with anxiety disorders, so please don't hesitate to share this blog with some friends. They and their overstressed bodies are sure to thank you!

Football: Sherm Pruit, Columbine Rebels' first head coach, dead at 77
Sherm Pruit, Columbine's first football coach, died on Jan. 21. He was 77.
Born Sherman Arch Pruit, he became the Rebels first football coach in 1973. Two years later, he had them in the Class 4A semifinals, then again eight years later, when Columbine beat Cherry Creek the year before the Bruins would win consecutive state titles. Columbine later fell to Mitchell in the final.
"Sherm was a great coach and laid the foundation at Columbine," former Rebel John Nichols indicated in an e-mail.
Pruit also coached in New Mexico and Texas in addition to Jefferson High. He was at Columbine from 1973-86. Pruit also was a center and offensive guard at the University of Colorado from 1956-58.
On Columbine's football website, former longtime principal Frank DeAngelis wrote: "Coach Pruit started the tradition of Rebel Ball. He made a difference in so many lives. He gave me a chance as a young coach back in 1981, I was his defensive coordinator and he was a great mentor. The life lessons I learned from him helped me throughout my life. Recently I had the opportunity to spend some time with him. He was so proud to be a Rebel! He had nothing but fond memories.
Coach Pruit, you will be missed, but not forgotten. Thoughts and prayers to the Pruit family. God Bless and love to all!"
Among his most cherished honors, Pruit was a member of the CU's Football Legends and was the first inductee into Columbine Football's hall of fame.
He is survived by wife Donna. They had three children, and several grandchildren and great grandchildren.
A memorial service was held at Columbine Baptist Church.

Almost three-quarters of Earth's surface is covered by water. However, life in the abyss is still alien to us. Ocean currents determine our world's changing climate. Oceans still hide unknown resources of minerals, fuels, and biologic species. For future generations of mankind, deeper knowledge about the extremely complex nature of the world's oceans will be essential if we are to conquer and sustain these treasures. Now, research programs and new initiatives all around the globe are inviting young scientists to participate in this discovery. In this feature, Next Wave explores the excellent career opportunities in marine sciences--both inside and outside academia.
Bert Steffan, CEO of the just launched biotech start-up Thetis, gives us a first-hand survey of the booming field of marine biotechnology that has become a tempting stepping-stone for many young scientists.
Gerold Wefer, director the Center for Marine Environmental Sciences in Bremen, Germany, and chairman of the recent international workshop "Marine Science Frontiers," outlines Europe's current efforts to develop a Marine Science Plan. In his reflection on the workshop, Wefer tells us where marine sciences are heading and what research fields might become hot.
Chris Preston, research technician at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute in Moss Landing, California, studies marine microbes. Chris tells about her exciting research that requires experience in microbiology, molecular biology, genomics, and the marine environment, but also involves fieldwork.
Next Wave's UK Editor, Kirstie Urquhart, reports on successful marine microbiologist Andrew Mearns Spragg, who is now fishing for pharmaceuticals with support of a Royal Society of Edinburgh fellowship to get his company, AquaPharm Technologies Ltd, off the ground.
Marlene Noble, of the U.S. Geological Survey in Menlo Park, California, and ocean sciences editor for the journal EOS, shares with us a day in her work life at the interface of land and sea.
Warren Currie, a Canadian grad student, gives us a humorous report on his research life in "A Day in the Life of a Plankton Researcher."
Colin Barrow and Elizabeth Beck, both at Ocean Nutrition Canada Ltd., introduce us to the thriving field of marine nutraceutical research: An industry that produces bioactive ingredients or foods derived from the plants and animals that live in the sea and that offers interesting career opportunities to young scientists.
Ilse Hamann, managing director of the German Association for Marine Sciences, shares with us her view on the current situation and future prospects of the marine science community in Germany.
In her second contribution for this feature, Ilse Hamann gives a detailed survey of the funding situation for marine sciences in Germany and Europe.
And in the U.S., GrantsNet writer Katie Cottingham has compiled an elaborate survey on marine science funding in the U.S. and Canada. Jump over to GrantsNet to read what she found.
Last but not least, and as in all Next Wave features, you will find valuable links for further research on this feature's Resources Page.

Dutch warship inventories
There must be a way to exploit the inventories for Dutch warships. The largest number date from around 23 June 1653, after the Battle of the Gabbard. A typical report after a battle in the Seventeenth Century included an inventory for each ship. The inventories from 1638 and 1640 just seem to have been made as part of normal reporting. The best inventories are in great detail and might include a gun inventory with the weight of each piece. Some inventories were very shot and were only made to satisfy the requirement, although not what was wanted. Leendert Haexwant's inventory for the Overijssel from 23 June 1653 was neatly written and very complete, although it did not give the ship's dimensions or the gun weights. The next inventory in my photograph collection is for the Brederode and was signed by Maerten Harpertszoon Tromp, the fleet commander. I was just looking again at inventories this morning, and they are very much on my mind.

Remembering Alexander Litvinenko
In 2007, not long after I posted quite a few entries concerning the November 2006 poisoning of Russian spy and defector Alexander Litvinenko, my articles became invisible to the general public on my Political Astrology blog even though the posts were set for Public Viewing.
Later on, when I realized the extent of the mysteriously invisible posts which were still not displaying, I published a shout-out with a Links List to the missing articles and I hereby do so again in memory of a man who, though imperfect, didn't deserve such a miserable end by an assassin's hand – or by a president's order.
Note: some of the posts do include my astrological comments and anaylisis but not to fret – they're written in English.

The project focused on multiple different levels of analysis of the data collected: analysis at the level of individual experiences; analysis of specific cross cutting impediments; comparative analysis.
The project has moreover produced evidence-based recommendations for national and European authorities; a best practice manual for local, regional and national authorities; a manual addressing the 'myths' and stereotypes that prove to be most common among young people who wish to move across Europe.
All results and lessons learned are be accessible below:
Report on individual experiences of young people on the move
Views of authorities and stakeholders in sending and receiving countries on free movement
Drivers and barriers to free movement in sending countries
Drivers and barriers to free movement in receiving countries

It's been an emotional time for Tyrese Gibson as the model-turned-actor, 38, vented on social media about a number of ongoing issues in his personal life, making a weepy appeal to see his 10-year-old daughter Shayla, after saying he'll withdraw from the Fast & Furious 9 if Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson remains involved.
The actor posted a video Wednesday in which he made an emotional appeal to retain some custody of his daughter, as his ex-wife Norma Gibson seeks a restraining order against him and full custody of their child.
'Don't take my baby please, don't take my baby,' he said through tears. 'This is all I got, this is all I got, this is all I got. Don't take my baby, OK?
'I've been away from my baby for two months. I just want my baby and no one's listening because no one is in the court room.'
The Los Angeles native groaned about the legal fees he's racked up in the custody battle, saying, 'I'm at $13,000 a month, what more do you want from me?'
He said he was disappointed by a lack of support from some of his well-heeled 'millionaire' and billionaire' friends he's made, asking, 'I've been there for you, why aren't you there for me?'
Here's the video:

Hi guys! I hope you are all well! Today, I've made a last minute choice to change one of my pre planned reviews to a tag, because I found a fantastic and different tag that I really wanted to do! I found it on An Impatient Scottish girl's blog. Go check her out, her blog is great! Onwards to the tag. :)
1. Do you have a certain place for reading at home?
Not a place for certain. I do tend to get alot of my reading done on/in my bed, though.
2. Bookmark or random piece of paper?
I have the cutest bookmark that has the C.S Lewis quote ''You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me'' on it. It has a cup of tea on it too, and I relate alot to it. ;)
3. Can you just stop reading or do you have to stop after a chapter or a certain number of pages?
If I am completely stuck in, I will keep reading and reading until my eyes droop or I have other things to do. I'll never finish a chapter mid way, I prefer to continue reading on a new chapter.
4. Do you eat or drink when reading?
I usually have a cup of green tea beside me if I'm reading. Reading and tea is the perfect match.
5. Do you watch TV or listen to music whilst reading?
I don't I find it too distracting. I prefer to get stuck in and focus on the story.
6. One book at a time or several at once?
One book at a time!
7. Reading at home or everywhere?
Everywhere. I read mostly at home. Though I will read anywhere so long as it's quiet.
8. Reading out loud or silently in your head?
Silently. Who reads out loud? O.o Though if people are annoying me while I try to read, I read aloud for a sentence or two, in the hopes that they'll catch the hint. :P
9. Do you ever read ahead or skip pages?
I won't skip pages. But I'll skim over the parts where it goes too much description over something trivial, like the description of a room or place.
10. Breaking the spine or keeping it new?
I try to keep the spine in good knick. I don't break the spine, but it does get quite creased.
11. Do you write in your books?
No way!
12. What are you currently reading?
The Collected Works of Edgar Allan Poe. It's bloody amazing. <3
I hope you enjoyed reading this tag as much as I enjoyed writing it! I tag all y'all to take the Reading Habit Tag. :)
Thank you all for reading,
Stay fab xo
Kim. :)

And so we lose another giant. A self-identified liberal "mugged by reality", Irving Kristol, commonly heralded as the godfather of 'neo'-conservatism, has died. Hillel Italie gives an account of his life for RealClearPolitics.com:
A Trotskyist in the 1930s, Kristol would soon sour on socialism, break from liberalism after the rise of the New Left in the 1960s and in the 1970s commit the unthinkable — support the Republican Party, once as "foreign to me as attending a Catholic Mass."
He was a New York intellectual who left home, first politically, then physically, moving to Washington in 1988. … his turn to the right joined by countless others, including such future GOP Cabinet officials as Jeane Kirkpatrick and William Bennett and another neoconservative founder, Norman Podhoretz.
"The influence of Irving Kristol's ideas has been one of the most important factors in reshaping the American climate of opinion over the past 40 years," Podhoretz said.
Among the host of publications he is credited as founding and/or editing was Commentary magazine (from 1947 to 1952); The Public Interest (from 1965 to 2002) and The National Interest from 1985 to 2002.
Kristol's life, along with that of his fellow "New York intellectuals" Irving Howe, Daniel Bell, and Nathan Glazer, was the subject of the 1998 documentary, Arguing the World. In July 2002 he was awarded the Medal of Freedom by President George W. Bush, the highest civilian honor in the United States.
Since the advent of the Iraq war, 'neo-conservatism' has become something of a derogatory term and indicative of those who supported the foreign policies of the Bush administration. Those who favor to this stereotype might be surprised to learn that Kristol himself took issue with it. Writing in the final issue of The Public Interest, he asserted:
"Foreign policy was no part of early neoconservatism: Had it been, there would have been additional bases of division among the early neoconservatives. How the term 'neoconservatism' morphed from a political tendency that dealt almost entirely with domestic social policy to one that deals almost entirely—indeed, entirely—with foreign policy is an interesting question, which I will not explore further here. There is very little overlap between those who promoted the neoconservatism of the 1970s and those committed to its latter-day manifestation."
As to what "neoconservatism" was, Kristol identified it as not so much a "movement" as a "persuasion" — "one that manifests itself over time, but erratically, and one whose meaning we clearly glimpse only in retrospect." He explored the subject in "The Neoconservative Persuasion" (Weekly Standard August 25, 2003) and in Neo-conservatism: The Autobiography of an Idea, a compilation of his writings on politics and economics.
(I recommend as well Jonah Goldberg's three-part series on the use of the term itself — "State of Confusion"; "The Neoconservative Invention" and The End of Neoconservatism).
Though the son of non-observant Jewish immigrants, and not overtly religious himself, Kristol recognized mutual concerns and pursued strategic alliances with religious conservatives in his battle with secular humanism.
In his "farewell to the godfather", Christopher Hitchens joked:
The very word neoconservative, which was used, if not coined, by socialist Michael Harrington to describe his lapsed former comrades, was eschewed or ignored by most of its targets until Irving Kristol said, in effect, the hell with it, that's what we are, let's adopt the title for ourselves. I used to enjoy embarrassing secular Jewish Reaganites by taunting them for their alliance with the so-called Christian Coalition; I could have guessed that it would be Kristol who would write the essay saying that on many critical questions, from the family to Israel, these religious right-wing types had much to recommend them.
Indeed, Wilfred McClay observes that Kristol [had] been preoccupied with questions of religious faith, and the inadequacy of the liberal and secular understanding of things, from the very beginning of his writing career.
* * *
Kristol leaves behind his wife, the historian Gertrude Himmelfard and son, William Kristol, editor of The Weekly Standard.
Archives of Kristol's work are available online at The Public Interest, Commentary and The New Republic.

SPORTS – The Washing Machine (Stream)
by Steven Spoerl
As the week picks up, so too does the new release schedule. Great new songs saw first light today, featuring material from the following artists: OBN III's, Minden, Grass House, Wolf Prize, OBNOX, and Places To Hide. Music videos fared just as well with some tantalizing clips that included Fake Palms' oneiric "Sparkles", BEAK >'s arresting "The Broken Window", Flesh World's tranced-out "Just To Tear Me Down", Rocky Votolato's deeply impressive "Hospital Handshakes", and Communions' striking "Forget It's A Dream". Rounding things out were the full streams, which featured fantastic entries from The Glow (a band led by LVL UP's Michael Caridi), Sloth, Adult Mom, Reservations, and Soviet X-Ray Record Club. Even in that slew of genuinely outstanding material, today's featured item- SPORTS' "The Washing Machine"- managed to stand out.
For a few years now, SPORTS have been kicking out the kind of scrappy punk-infused basement pop that dominates Salinas' impressive roster (Swearin', Radiator Hospital, All Dogs, Purple 7, etc.). The band recently signed with Father/Daughter Records (who have earned themselves a wealth of love from this site) for the release of their forthcoming full-length, the genuinely outstanding All of Something (which was, incidentally, engineered by none other than Kyle Gilbride of Swearin'). The band's already teased the record with the energetic "Saturday" and offered another look earlier today with the release of "The Washing Machine".
A touch more grounded than "Saturday", the band's latest is a show of both maturation and force, emphasizing a subtle southern sensibility (in a manner not too dissimilar from Hop Along) to produce one of their best songs to date. Like a (thankfully) increasing number of bands in the DIY fold, the band gets a lot of mileage from fixating on elements that constitute life's minutiae rather than opting to retread the same tired territory. While the overarching narrative still hinges on a relationship, it's the way the relationship is colored that sets the song apart from a lot of the band's contemporaries. Balanced, nuanced, and unerringly heartfelt, SPORTS pack enough punch, grit, and scuzz into this 3 minutes and change number to run away with today's featured spot.
Listen to "The Washing Machine" below and pre-order All of Something from Father/Daughter ahead of its October 30 release date here.

Ephraim Mirivs To Become UK's Next Chief Rabbi
South-African born, he will succeed the long-serving Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, the tenth to hold the office.
Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis will succeed Rabbi Jonathan Sacks as the United Kingdom's next chief rabbi, the Chief Rabbinate Trust announced the evening of Dec. 17 in a statement on the Chief Rabbi's website.
Rabbi Mirvis will become the next head of the United Hebrew Congregations of the Commonwealth, which represents more than 50 percent of the total synagogue membership in the UK and is the largest group of Orthodox Jews in the United Kingdom, according to the online application packet for the chief rabbi position. The trust is a charity that is the chief rabbi's official employer.
The chief rabbi does not have any religious authority over other movements, such as Masorti/Conservative or Reform. According to the application form, the chief rabbi's duties include being the spiritual leader of bodies that recognize the office's authority; being a spokesman for Orthodox Judaism and Judaism generally; engaging in interfaith activities and advocating for Israel.
"In conducting these duties, the Chief Rabbi will be expected to behave with absolute personal and professional integrity, and to maintain and encourage proper, and correct behaviour among all other members of the Rabbinate, other staff and general membership of all bodies under his aegis," the packet says.
Get Jewish Week's Newsletter by email and never miss our top stories Free Sign Up
While one committee has recommended Rabbi Mirvis and another has endorsed him, the appointment is still subject to an agreement on his contract. More details will follow in a fuller statement, the trust said.
Rabbi Sacks, who served as Chief Rabbi for 22 years, was the tenth to hold the office.
Rabbi Aaron Hart, who took office in 1704, was England's first chief rabbi.
Previously chief rabbi of Ireland, Rabbi Mirvis was born in South Africa and is senior rabbi at Finchley Synagogue in London. He is married with four children.
Unlike the United States, many countries and even some cities have chief rabbis; often, a community will have two chief rabbis, one Ashkenazi and one Sephardi, as in Israel.

SOCHI (Reuters) - Iceland's Viking mentality meant they arrived at the World Cup without an ounce of fear, despite being dropped into a difficult group, and while they battled bravely every time they stepped onto the pitch their hopes were dashed by a lack of firepower.
Two years after stunning world football by reaching the quarter-finals of Euro 2016, Iceland, the smallest nation by population ever to qualify for the World Cup, got off to a great start in Russia by holding Argentina to a 1-1 draw.
However, Nigeria proved too tough a test in their second match of Group D, a 2-0 defeat, and while Gylfi Sigurdsson missed a penalty Iceland looked like they had no idea how to drag themselves out of a hole.
Sigurdsson, by far Iceland's most creative player, missed three months of action in the leadup to the World Cup due to a knee injury and did not look his sharpest in Russia, and there did not seem to be anyone capable of picking up the slack.
Having just five shots on target and scoring one goal in their first two encounters, Iceland needed a win to have any chance of going through and threw off the shackles in their final game against Croatia, hitting the target six times and scoring through a Sigurdsson spot kick.
They also restricted Croatia to just two efforts on target, but unfortunately for Iceland both went in.
While the defeat dumped Iceland out of the tournament and left them bottom of the group with one point, there was plenty of praise to go round.
"I couldn't be more proud of the players, but we are disappointed to not go through," coach Heimir Hallgrimsson told reporters following his side's exit. "It's a beautiful game but sometimes it's really tough."
Iceland's fans once again provided a vibrant dash of color and noise to the stands as they proudly supported their team, and Prime Minister Katrin Jakobsdottir released a statement shortly after the final whistle summing up the nation's feelings.
"It's been extremely inspiring for all of us in Iceland to see how their belief in the team and its possible success despite the odds, has carried them this far," she said.

transfer the giant sperm to the female," researchers from University of New South Wales said. Naked mole rat's "naked" sperm The naked mole rat is a creepy, unfortunate looking species. And its sperm is just about as strange as the creature itself. For starters, very few of these sperm can swim, which seems problematic when trying to reach an egg. In tests researchers found that only 7 percent could swim, and only 1 percent could swim fast. The sperm also have an oddly shaped head, and are rather small, according to Life Science. Another issues is that the genetic material being held by the sperm is not concentrated in one area. As if that wasn't enough of a setback, the sperm, like the mole rat, are "naked."

Female animals with long term sperm storage So in this case it's not actually the sperm that's strange, but rather the interesting way that the females in several species can store sperm for long periods of time. According to National Geographic, female guppies, octopi and others can hoard sperm. In guppies, females outlive males so the ladies store sperm from multiple partners and have a choice of the best genes. The sperm are stored in a special space in the ovaries and are kept alive with smallsmall

amounts of sugar until they fertilize the eggs. In octopi, scientists hypothesize that it is a matter of poor timing. Female eggs take longer to mature than sperm, and mating doesn't take place too frequently, according to National Geographic. So when they do mate, the lady stores sperm to make sure that little octopi babies are actuallyproduced.

Well let's start with the Wikipedia definition.
Content marketing is any marketing that involves the creation and sharing of media and publishing content in order to acquire and retain customers.
While content marketing certainly helps grow sales when done right, at Espire Media we believe content marketing is far more than just a marketing technique.
In fact we like to say that content marketing is actually part of your customer service, before, during and after any sale.
That's right, it's part of the service that the best brands and organisations offer to their fans and customers. By doing this they not only differentiate themselves from their competitors, they also attract new customers – and turn those customers into raving fans and loyal brand ambassadors in the process.

I am a type 2 diabetic. I do well with meals, but I crave something sweet (like cookies, cake, candy) constantly, and most times I lose the battle to resist. How can I get rid of this craving once and for all?
— Jacqueline, Michigan
Despite popular beliefs about how blood sugar levels relate to craving, there is very little if any evidence indicating this to be true. Food cravings are largely a psychological phenomenon that relates to old habits and learning. The most likely reason that we see cravings in folks like you who have developed type 2 diabetes may simply be that the history of eating patterns that contributed to the development of the diabetes is persisting. Here's the good news: As is the case with all learned behavior, cravings can be "unlearned."
Cravings can arise in several ways. If you have used food to reward yourself, make yourself feel better when stressed or upset, or celebrate certain special events, depending on how frequently you do this, those foods can become associated with any of the above examples. When you feel these emotions, or are in the situations associated with that food, that association triggers thoughts about the food — in other words, a craving. The problem is that over a lifetime, the number of subtle triggers that become solidly paired with these foods grows. So it's sometimes impossible to put your finger on the cause of the craving, which leads people to assume it's being triggered by some internal physiological need (which is probably not the case).
The good news is that there is a simple answer: Stop pairing consumption of the craved food with the craving. Of course, even simple answers are not always easy. Fighting cravings can be tough. They are powerful and very real. So here are a few tips to get you started:
Delay. Wait 10 to 20 minutes (or as long as you can) before giving into the craving. In the best-case scenario, often the craving will subside in that time period, and you will not eat the food at all. However, even at those times when you aren't able to fully fight off the craving, the time delay helps reduce its power.
Distract. Just thinking about the craved food during the delay can maintain the power of the craving. By distracting yourself and trying not to think about the craved food, you will ensure that the craving weakens.
Avoid. Finding alternatives to your most difficult-to-control foods that are equally satisfying and consuming these in moderation in a planned way (not in response to a craving) allows you to not feel deprived while controlling consumption of the food. Alternatively, some people seem to do well consuming a small amount of the actual craved food at planned times, but recent evidence suggests that this may in fact prolong the removal of the cravings.
Remember, you can take control of cravings.

Oya, African Orisha Goddess Statue
Oya is the orisha of tempest and love clearing the path for new life here as a graceful bronze resin statue with color detail.
Oya, African Orisha Goddess Statue
Oya embodies the gentlest breeze to the raging cyclone. With her powers and machete she clears the path for new life and watches over the newly dead as they transit to the underworld. Her energy reminds me of the Tower card in Tarot - destruction of what must go in order to bring in something new and better.
An Orisha is a spirit that reflects one of the manifestations of God in Africa's Yoruba religion. Many Orishas have found their way throughout the Americas via the Atlantic slave trade and are now expressed in practices as varied as Santeria, Candomble, Trinidad Orisha, and Oyotunji.
This beautifully finished cast bronze resin state stands 8 3/4 inches high with hand painted accents.

There aren't many reviews of auto-schedulers out there so when one pops up, it deserves a review here at ScheduleU. This one by author CE Murphy covers SkedPal. As you may know, it has a new subscription model and is no longer available in a free/Beta mode.
New SkedPal Video
The power available in today's auto-schedulers remains a huge secret.
As a result, few people can describe what these powerful apps actually do and why they are so very different from Outlook or Google Calendar.
This video offers the first clear explanation. (I was part of the team that conceived it so I am quite biased!) It describes the app as a "GPS for All your Tasks."

Greetings Internet…I'd like to introduce you to someone…
Meet Duran. Duran's a dick. He's a self-absorbed asshole who's hatred for humanity is balanced only by his love of pornography. Also, one of his hands is made of celery. Not just any celery, but a mutated-yet-functional growth that gives him a telepathic link to celery. All celery, even the Vegemasters, a vegetable army that works for The Mother; an army that is set on destroying anything that doesn't come from the ground. With the help of the Vegetable Annihilation Group (V.A.G.) and many (many!) hours of masturbation, hopefully Duran will be "up" to the task.
Advance praise for Celery Hand Duran:
"This is easily the most ridiculous thing I've ever written" – The Author
"What the hell is wrong with you?" – The Trusted Reader
"Dear God, why?" – The Editor
Coming Friday, October 28th for Kindle…just in time to be offended this Halloween!
Seriously though, I'm not kidding. This is some pretty offensive shit. Mom, you might want to skip this one….

Its a typical haunted house horror story, maybe nothing new but, well it was written in the 70s when Hammer House of Horror was regularly on our TV screens, and Hell House is a prime example of that genre.
Good creepy stuff!

CBGB movie (and other films) premiering at CBGB Festival
CBGB Festival 2012 (more by Chris La Putt)
The film stars Alan Rickman (you know, Hans Gruber from Die Hard) as CB's owner Hilly Kristal, which is a check in the "could be good" category… but then there's Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins as Iggy Pop, Malin Ackerman as Debbie Harry, and, um, Rupert Grint (aka Ron Weasley) as Rocket From the Tombs' Cheetah Chrome. Donal Logue, Johnny Galecki and Bradley Whitford are also in this thing. If the poster is any indication, it'll be a wacky comedy?
As discussed, the CBGB Music & Film Festival is returning to various NYC venues from October 9 to 13. Many films will be making their premieres at the fest, and it's just been announced that the long-time-coming CBGB movie will make its festival premiere during the film portion (the above text is from our last post on it). Other music films making their premieres at the festival include Tony D'Annuncio's Detroit music scene documentary, Louder Than Love: The Grand Ballroom Story, and Danny Garcia's Looking for Johnny, the Legend of Johnny Thunders.
Early bird badges were initially only going to be on sale until July 1, but the sales have been extended until August 16.

The World Food Summit held at FAO-Rome in November 1996 gave priority to the development of urban and periurban production as well as improvement of the efficiency of food supply and distribution systems and linkages between production and consumption areas. The aim of the summit was to facilitate access to food by low-income households and hence improve food security in developing countries and countries in transition. The Habitat II Conference in 1996 drew attention to high urbanization levels and the rapid urban growth rates in developing countries and countries in transition and stressed their direct relationship with urban poverty.
FAOs initiative for Food Supply and Distribution to Cities addresses the relationship between urbanization, urban poverty and food insecurity. It focuses on the impact of urbanization on the efficiency of food supply and distribution activities and the need to stimulate private sector initiatives and investment. The cost at which food is made available to poor urban consumers is a key determinant of the level and stability of food prices and is determined not only by private sector activities, but also by public sector interventions, which are often carried out with weak technical and managerial skills.
This initiative thus constitutes a major contribution to follow-up and implementation of the action programme based on the commitments made by FAO Member States at the World Food Summit.

During the practice of 'ran o toru', a free style method of practice used in the Kito Ryu Jujutsu system, Iikubo would repeatedly throw Kano, even though he was thirty years older than the young man. Kano began to analyze the process of throwing, to see what makes it effective. During this analyzation, Kano came upon three discoveries. Once he implemented them, he was capable of defeating nearly anyone. Upon relating these concepts to master Tsunetoshi Iikubo, he was admitted into the Okuden, inner traditions, of the Kito Ryu, and allowed to view the scrolls and books of the system.

At everytime I switch on my Inspiron N5010 it shows a text mentioning that my Windows7 installation is corrupted and it needs to be repaired. Then it begins "Startup Repair" and it goes for hours but nothing will happen. I also tried to boot it up using my Windows7 installation CD but it also fails. However, the HDD lamp is also light on.
Before it this problem taken place my Windows7 OS started to freeze when I start some applications and it also prompt me that there is a file system error and it needs to be repaied.
Can anyone suggest a solution for this problem please?
There are some important files missing or corrupted that happened either during the install or something you did post install...Or the computer gods said hey, lets give this person a headache. Did windows 7 come original or whas it an upgrade? Also what happens when you put the install cd it. I might suggest reformating the HDD and reinstalling windows. If you can't do that from the computer itself (Im sure this isn't the only way but this is what I would do) take the HDD out and get a cable for like 5 dollars from fry's or what ever you have near you thats usb to sata and do it from another computer. Then pop the HDD back in and install from there. The problem is your system trying to fetch certain command files for the boot process that are either missing or corrupt and it doesn't know what to do. My level of expertise with this specific issue are limited but I think that these are the steps I would take. Plus no one else has said anything yet haha.
Really though, please be more specific about what happens when you put the install cd and try and boot that way...Is there no way to get the OS to run up?
Thanks for your ideas PETERA88 🙂 Actually I found that the HDD of my 15R failed and get repaired from Dell free-of-charge because it was happened within the warrenty period. Still it is not clear the reason for that failure but recently I found that many 15R users have experiance about freezing the system when using the machine. Even I also have that problem with my 15R as well....:emotion-7:
Sometimes I feel that I have taken a wrong decision by purchasing15R instead of choosing another Dell model.....:emotion-9:
My Inspiron n5010 also had the same problem. Since it was less than a month Dell service changed it with the new one. Actually I could get another model of Dell or even a different brand from the shop I bought it. But I again got Dell Inspiron n5010 and guess what the same error (error code 142) occured again and now they are gonna change this one, too. This time sorry but I will not get inspiron again. It only gave me trouble...
So, there is definitly a problem with inspiron n5010 models. Dell company should advise on this. Otherwise I will lose my "trustworthy dell" image forever.
I purchased same recently...
Getting same error
Boot configuration corrupt.
How to solve the issue...not getting support from even dell
I tried Dell factory image restore ....resulted Fail
I tried system restore.... resulted fail
Everthing tried but same result.
Can Any body help me.
Some info
Volume 0 D dvd rom
Volume 1 E recoveray
Volume 2 diellutily(default dell)
Please help me out....
Same issue error code 142.
Dont think I want a replacement if its just going to be the same on a replacement.
I might take this to trading standards seeing as it appears everybody else seems to have the same issue.
What a waste of £600 pounds, and Dell used to be so good
what is more worrying is Dell cant even be arsed to respond

Iñigo Esparza Arquitecto | DG House
The project consists on a family house in a residential area in the region of Pamplona, Navarra. The adjacent houses, constructed on divers materials and different design lines, motivated an initial approach based on the abstraction, with an outright definition of the volumes made in sandstone.
Two volumes with tilted roof compounds the indoor program of this traditional family house. The ground floor element holds the main day-areas, a unified space merges the living-room, dining-room and kitchen with direct access to the porch and the garden. There is also an study and playing-room with views over the adjacent public garden. Towards the main facade, a stripe containing the service area, laundry and garage ensures the privacy of the house. The volume of the first floor holds the night-area, with three bedrooms facing the garden (south-west) leaving the dressing-room and bathrooms towards the main facade. Finally the basement contains a multi-purpose space and the facilities room.
The plot is the last of the row and borders with a public park on its north side, conferring to the side facade the same importance as the main one. The fact that it faces the north, suggested to avoid opening big holes, ending up with an almost blind wall with small gaps. Contrary to the front side, the back facade facing South-West has large Windows and a porch, which allows views to the private garden and the pool.
In order to enhance the sculptural appearance of the volumes the use of materials was very narrow; sandstone for the outside carved with a traditional rig and wooden floors on the inside with white walls through all the house excepting dark Stone for the bathrooms. The garden is divided in two areas, clearly defined. The front part with no fence opened to the public street, constructed with boulders using some ideas of xeriscaping and the back part, more private and with a swimming-pool landscaped with local plants.Location: 31620 Huarte, Navarre, Spain Architects: Iñigo Esparza Arquitecto Authors: Iñigo Esparza, M.

I got the opportunity to review the book a couple of weeks ago and just this past Friday (March 23) I went to see the movie.
- DISCLOSURE: This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper insights study for Collective Bias. #CBias
I had never heard of the the Hunger Games until the movie came out and my daughter(who is 14) told me she HAD to go! She had read the book before going to the movie. I ended up going with her to the movie on Friday night. I may be hooked. She is now reading the second book also and I may have to read it now too! :)ReplyDelete
I think I am going to see the movie this week sometime with some friends... I have not read the books at all but after your review a looking a little more forward to the movie! thanks Mags!

TORONTO, Dec. 9 (UPI) -- A Toronto couple who put the name of their newborn girl to a Facebook vote said Internet users picked Melania as the infant's moniker.
Rommy and Robert Alpinelli said 2,862 of the participants in the poll of 20,000 people voted for Melania, with Aria in second with 2,853 votes, the Toronto Sun reported Thursday.
Rommy Alpinelli said the vote was organized by Web site FabFind and suggested to her by a friend who works for the social commerce Web site.
"At first I was a little apprehensive," Alpinelli said. "What if it was a name I didn't like? But then there were rules in place, like no vulgar names, and things like that."
Voting officially ended at 3 p.m. Tuesday, when baby Melania was born and given her name.
"I love it," Alpinelli said. "There's something different about it. It's very pretty. It's feminine, but strong for when she gets older."

(Family Division; Sumner J; 14 December 2005) [2006] 1 FLR 1122
The mother's contact with the two children, aged 9 and 7, had ceased because of their expressed hostility towards the mother. The father supported the children in their stance, maintaining that the children were old enough to make this decision for themselves without any further intervention.
The father's attitude towards the mother, his refusal to let the children be seen, his complete subjugation to their expressed views, and their reaction and attitude to their mother in which he was complicit, all caused the children emotional harm, likely to be significant. The removal of the children from the father under a s 37 order, even temporarily, would cause the children enormous upset and must be avoided if at all possible. However, a s 37 report was justified unless the father would permit a child psychiatrist to see the children, assess their views and consider the other relevant issues.
