No. 5 Louisville pounces on UT Martin in 102-62 blowout
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Louisville proved its potent combination of defense and offense was no aberration as the No. 5 Cardinals rung up another impressive blowout.
Asia Durr scored 25 points, Arica Carter had 16 and Louisville's defense stifled UT Martin in a 102-62 rout on Tuesday night.
The Cardinals (9-0) picked up where they left off from Sunday's 107-52 shellacking of Tennessee State, leading 58-23 at halftime behind intense play on both ends. Louisville didn't let up and finished shooting 53 percent from the field while holding the Skyhawks (5-3) to 33 percent from the floor. The Cardinals also forced 27 turnovers for 24 points.
To hear Louisville assistant coach Stephanie Norman, the Cardinals just beat the Skyhawks at their own game.
"They're a team that plays with a pace and if you want to run, we'd love to run," said Norman, who ran the show while head coach Jeff Walz stayed put on the bench. "Whatever the other team presents, we try to have enough weapons in our arsenal to play that style and do well under those circumstances."
Durr provided Louisville's initial boost with 16 first-half points, while Carter added 12. The margin quickly reached 40 in the third quarter as the Cardinals hit the century mark for the second game in a row.
Sam Fuehring had 10 rebounds and nine points, Bionca Dunham scored 14 and Dana Evans 11 as Louisville improved to 8-0 against UT Martin.
Chelsea Perry had 12 points and eight rebounds for UT Martin, which had won two of three coming in.
"I thought early we were shell shocked and then I thought our kids kind of pouted," said Skyhawks coach Kevin McMillan, whose 16-player roster features 13 freshmen and sophomores. "In the second half, when they realized we're going to keep doing this, they started competing better."
Two days after posting a school-record eight blocks with a career-best 14 rebounds, Louisville junior forward Kylee Shook did not play after nagging knee pain flared up during pregame. She is expected to be ready by Sunday.
Norman learned beforehand that she'd be in charge, giving Louisville a chance to see how things work before Walz serves his one-game NCAA Tournament suspension for comments made to NCAA committee members and staff during last spring's Final Four.
"It wasn't bad," Carter said of the different voice. "Coach Norman is always leading us. You guys might not see it because she does it a lot of times in practice. She lets him (Walz) have his shine during the games."
Louisville's ranking won't be threatened until it faces unbeaten Kentucky on Sunday.
UT Martin: The Skyhawks' press helped them stay close for a few minutes before Louisville's pressure and pace quickly built a double-digit deficit that steadily grew larger. They were only outrebounded 45-39, but committed at least 20 turnovers for the third time in four games. That gave the Cardinals too many easy chances.
Louisville: The Cardinals once again clicked in all phases in their final tuneup before facing rival Kentucky. They pushed the pace they wanted and dominated almost every statistical category. It wasn't perfect, as they committed 17 second-half turnovers after giving it away just once before halftime.
UT Martin visits Lipscomb on Sunday in the first meeting between the schools since 2009. The Skyhawks lead 3-1.
Louisville hosts archrival and No. 19 Kentucky on Sunday, seeking its third straight series victory over the Wildcats.

The Metropolitan Tabernacle is a large Independent Reformed Baptist church in the Elephant and Castle in London. It was the largest non-conformist church of its day in 1861.[1] The Tabernacle Fellowship have been worshipping together since 1650. Its first pastor was William Rider; other notable pastors and preachers include Benjamin Keach, Dr. John Gill, Dr. John Rippon, and C. H. Spurgeon. The Tabernacle still worships and holds to its Biblical foundations and principles under its present pastor, Dr. Peter Masters.[2][3][4]
The Tabernacle fellowship dates back to 1650, when the English Parliament banned independent Christian organisations from meeting together. This congregation braved persecution until 1688, when the Baptists were once again allowed to worship in freedom. At this point, the group built their first chapel, in the Tower Bridge area.[5]
In 1720, Dr. John Gill became pastor and served for 51 years. In 1771, Dr. John Rippon became pastor and served for 63 years. During these times, the church experienced great growth and became one of the largest congregations in the country. Afterwards decline set in and by 1850 the congregation was small.[6]
In 1854, the most famous of all the pastors at the Metropolitan Tabernacle started serving at the youthful age of 20. His name was Charles Haddon Spurgeon, and he quickly became the most popular British preacher of his day. The church at the beginning of Spurgeon's pastorate was situated at New Park Street Chapel, but this soon became so full that services had to be held in hired halls such as the Surrey Gardens Music Hall.[6]
During Spurgeon's ministry, it was decided that the church should move permanently to larger premises. The location chosen was the Elephant and Castle, a prominent location near the River Thames in South London, partly because it was thought to be the site of the burning of the Southwark Martyrs. The building, designed by William Willmer Pocock, was finished in 1861 and dedicated on March 18. Spurgeon also founded a college for preachers (now Spurgeon's College) and church workers and orphanages for girls and boys, and wrote many Christian books which are still in print today.[7]
In 1887, the church left the Baptist Union because of the widening influence of theological liberalism within the Union. Spurgeon was adamant that the church would not "downgrade" the faith as he believed other baptist churches were doing.[8]
At the end of 1891, membership was given as 5,311.[a] Spurgeon served for 38 years and died in 1892.[2]
The original building was burned down in 1898, leaving just the front portico and basement intact, before the rebuilt church was destroyed again in 1941 during the German bombing of London in World War II. Once again, the portico and basement survived and in 1957 the Tabernacle was rebuilt to a new but much smaller design accommodating surviving original features.[5]
The war led to the Tabernacle fellowship being greatly diminished as few members of the old congregation were able to return to heavily blitzed central London. It rejoined the Baptist union in 1955. By 1970 the congregation had fallen to the point where it occupied only a few pews. It left the Baptist union again on 22 February 1971, just after Dr. Peter Masters became the pastor, over the same issues as under Spurgeon in 1887.[9] Numbers greatly increased and this gave rise to the full church and galleries of today, together with numerous professions of faith. It hosts an annual School of Theology, runs a part-time Seminary for pastors, has five Sunday schools,[10] and provides free video and audio downloads, along with live-streaming of services.[11] The current assistant pastor at the Tabernacle is Ibrahim Ag Mohamed, originally of Mali.[12]
Services and meetingsEdit
The church holds two main services on Sundays, a teaching service in the morning at 11am, and the other (for persuasive gospel preaching) at 6.30pm. In addition to this, there is a Children's Sunday School,[13] Bible Classes, College Classes and a Doctrine Class on Sunday afternoons, from 3–4pm. During the week, a prayer meeting is held on Monday evenings at 7.30pm and a Bible study on Wednesday evenings at 7.30pm where God's Word is studied.[14]
London Metropolitan Tabernacle School of TheologyEdit
Probably one of the largest reformed Christian conferences in the UK, gathering people from around the world, that still takes place today. Many pastors, Christian workers and church officers attend, and younger people seeking a more biblical and committed style of Christian life and service.[15]
Church Basic PoliciesEdit
The Metropolitan Tabernacle is an independent reformed Baptist church. The following seven points show the key biblical policies followed, laid down by forebears, such as C. H. Spurgeon.[2][3][4]
- Doctrines of grace, commonly called 'Calvinistic'.
- Free offer of the Gospel
- Traditional worship
- Working church
- Biblical separation
- The Prayer meeting
- Wider ministries.[16]

Other churches based on designEdit
The design and appearance of several churches around the world are derived from the London Metropolitan Tabernacle building.[citation needed]
Blasieholmen Church (Blasieholmskyrkan) in Stockholm, Sweden, was constructed in 1865-1867, with explicit inspiration from the Metropolitan Tabernacle.
The Auckland Baptist Tabernacle in New Zealand was constructed in 1886 when Thomas Spurgeon (a son of Charles Spurgeon) was the minister.[citation needed]
The Newcastle Baptist Tabernacle, New South Wales, Australia (AU) was constructed in 1889-90 under the guidance of a student of Spurgeon's.[citation needed]
The Burton Street Baptist Tabernacle in Sydney, New South Wales, AU.[citation needed]
The Brisbane Baptist Tabernacle (City Church), Brisbane Queensland, AU.[citation needed]
The Hobart Baptist Tabernacle in Hobart Tasmania, AU (1887-89).[citation needed]
The Porto Baptist Tabernacle (1908) is the first Portuguese Baptist church building. It was also based on the London Tabernacle. Joseph Jones and João Jorge Oliveira were the main persons involved in the project.[citation needed]
The First Baptist Church of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, founded in 1884. The build of its temple was inspired in Metropolitan Tabernacle and inaugurated in 1928.
The facade of the Temple Baptist Church of Powell, TN is fashioned like the Metropolitan Tabernacle. Their pastor Dr. Clarence Sexton is an avid admirer of Charles Haddon Spurgeon.[21]
The interior of Merrion (Gospel) Hall, Lower Merrion Street Dublin, built by Alfred Gresham Jones (1824–88, Melbourne) for the Brethren, completed in 1863 at a cost of £16,000, was smaller with a main hall capacity of 2500 to 3000, plus many more standing, but in other respects was very similar to the interior of the Metropolitan Tabernacle even to the design of order of the Corinthian capitals on the 16 fluted cast iron pillars. Merrion Hall was the largest Brethren Gospel Hall ever constructed. There were three completely oval galleries and a double deck preacher's platform almost identical to that in London. The lower hall in the basement contained a below-floor baptism pool. The Brethren Assembly occupied the protected building until the late 1980s when it was sold to a developer and largely destroyed by a mysterious but convenient fire a few years later. It was used as a film location in 1991[22] which portrayed the building as a London night club, such use being rather at odds with its original use. The Italianate façade remains and is protected. An Hotel known as the Davenport has been created behind the original now restored 1863 facade. The name Merrion Hall has been used on a new out of town office building with no connection to the Gospel Hall. The Brethren owe their origins to meetings in Dublin and the first public meeting of the group that came to worship at Merrion Hall was held at an Auction Room in Angier Street Dublin in the 1820s. Until Merrion Hall was built, meetings were held there and at private houses in the City and originated from meetings held at Powerscourt House County Wicklow. Meetings at Plymouth from the 1830s meant that the name "Plymouth" was incorrectly added.[citation needed]

As you may remember, as a holiday tradition, we always bake sugar cookies to give to our friends and families. This year, Jenny was out holiday shopping, so I decided to sit Eric down and teach him how to make the perfect sugar cookie. I have to say, he was a quick learner, and ended up nearly breaking his back after the hours-long intense cookie-making session creating Christmas trees, candy canes, angels, and doves. The cookies came out beautifully! I just wanted to share a few tips with you, that I have found, helps create the perfect sugar cookie.
- If you freeze the dough (I make all my dough in advance and freeze it, as to save time close the holidays), make sure to put it in the fridge at least two days before you plan to bake them, in order to thaw.
- Make sure to have a ton of flour on hand! You'll need flour on the board you are rolling the dough out on, as well as on the rolling pin.
- Don't roll the dough too thick (the dough puffs up and the shapes become discernible) or too thin (the dough will burn!)
- If the dough gets too soft to roll, stick it back in the fridge for a few moments.
- Make sure your pan is either non-stick, or buttered up...you don't want to be scraping the cookies off.
- While they bake, watch them! I burned a few (okay, a lot) this weekend, simply because I let them go for two minutes too long.

Simon Martin
- Rouyn-Noranda, Québec, 1981
- Composer
Born in Rouyn-Noranda (Québec), Simon Martin is a composer and producer of contemporary concert music. As the founding director of Projections libérantes (2011), he has completed four productions to this day:
- Hommage à Leduc, Borduas et Riopelle (2012) was presented 8 times for a total in-hall audience of about 800, plus a broadcast on the national state radio (2014) and an album (DAME / Collection QB, 2015). This album was nominated for the Prix Opus for Best Album — Modern / Contemporary Music.
- Musique d'art pour quintette à cordes (2015) was premiered at Festival Montréal/Nouvelles musiques and reprised in Dresden (Festspielhaus Hellerau, 2016), Québec (Erreur de type 27, 2017) and Montréal (Suoni Per Il Popolo/Le Vivier, 2018). It was broadcasted by the German state radio (Deutschlandfunk, 2017).

Following in the footsteps of American composers Harry Partch, La Monte Young and James Tenney, Martin's music increasingly focuses on natural intonation. His concert pieces, always full of drama, retain part of the ambition found in the large formats of German post-Romanticism.
In 2016, Martin was presented with $10,000 by Le Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec as the winner of the 2014-2015 Prix Opus — Composer of the year.

Money can't buy you love.
Or can it?
Two-thirds of people would marry any plain Jane or Joe out there -- as long as their honey brought in the money, according to a new survey conducted by the Connecticut firm, Prince & Associates, Inc.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
How much money, you ask?
Somewhere in the ballpark of $1.5 million. That's right, $1.5 million.
Believe it or not, Russ Alan Prince, the president of the research firm, believes the $1.5 million figure is low, and thinks that a more realistic view of true wealth hovers around $10 million and up.
"People want to have the good life, he told divorce360.com. "Most people get upset because it's politically incorrect -- well, so is life. People want the money, it's not a big secret."
Of the 1,134 people polled nationwide, many said they held no illusions of grandeur for a successful marriage without intimacy. Forty-three percent said that marrying for money's sake would most likely end in divorce.
Women were more likely, overall, to consider potential partners' income as part of their selection process. The firm said that nearly three-quarters of women in their 30s said they'd marry for money, compared to 41 percent of men in their 20s. While 61 percent of men in their 40s said they'd do the same.
Pat Nowak, author of "The ABCs of Widowhood," isn't surprised by the results and believes that individuals who are divorced seek stability the second time around.
"Finding someone to date, with substantial resources, is now considered quite acceptable," Nowak told divorce360.com. "Why be poor when you can combine assets and live the life you previously did?"
Accountant Daniel Gass of Sunrise, Fla., says that while money may not be on the forefront of everyone's minds, it's always in the mix.
"Even if you don't care if someone is rich, you may care that they be steadily employed," he told divorce360.com. "That may not be considered to be 'marrying for money,' but I think that is only because you are not marrying for a lot of money."
"Let's be realistic," Prince said. "Money doesn't buy happiness, but it solves a lot of problems."

A Cornish Engine in the USA
These dates have been derived from a quick dip into Damian Nance's article on the engine, and correspondence from Mark Connar; I dived in, grabbed a few dates and sorted them out into an order. Then to add some context I have added a few dates from the life of William West, John West's famous uncle.
Events leading up to the engine's creation
1801 William West is born at Dolcoath
1838 East London Waterworks engine started
1845 A rich zinc ore deposit in the dolomite limestone of Saucon Valley was discovered
1853 A predecessor company to the Lehigh Zinc Company was formed to extract and smelt this primary material.
1854 Ueberotth mine was opencast operation
1860 Lehigh Zinc Company formed
1866 John West erected a 32″ double acting engine
1868 the Company's engineer, John West from Cornwall as commissioned to design an engine capable of pumping 12,000 gallons/minute from a depth of 300 feet.
By 1869 three different engines were being used to clear the mines of water
The Engine's operating years
1872 The President was erected
1874 the engine's crank broke and it took a number of days for it to be repaired and there was concern that the mines would fill with water.
1876 Operations were suspended
1879 William West dies
The President's later life
1881 One of the owners of the Correll Mine in Friedensville purchased the mining assets of Lehigh Zinc and unified them under the name "Friedensville Zinc Company"
1883 New shafts were being dug and that the plan was to move the President to the new shaft location. This equipment move never transpired.
1884, Water was controlled in the mines by using two new steam pumps with the President was being kept in operational condition as a backup pump. Later that year, in May, the President was restarted.
By 1890 The Ueberroth mine was no longer being worked and the President was being used to lower the water in the other, still active, mine works.
1891 The last reported time that the President Pump operated
Events after the engine's final steaming
1898 Unsuccessful efforts were made to raise capital in Europe to restart the Friedensville mine.
1893 All mining activities in the Friedensville area ceased
1899 The President was for sale
1900 The President was sold to Philadelphia based scrap dealers for $10,000
1901 The sixteen boilers were removed from the site to South Bethlehem by the New Jersey Zinc Company. The plan was to reuse these equipment pieces at other New Jersey Zinc mines.
1940s A new Friedensville mine was opened by the New Jersey Zinc Company which operated until 1983

But such crazy weather we're having in North Carolina! Last Tuesday night, it was so warm in our house, my husband and I had trouble sleeping, and there was actually a tornado in the county next to us. Some poor families lost their homes, and sadder still, some lost family members. Then on Friday, the temperature dropped like a stone all day, and was in the 20's that night. Yesterday was pleasant, and then today, the temperature reached 71 degrees (again)! I finally gave in and cut the heat off and the central air conditioning back on so we wouldn't have trouble sleeping again.
I'm rather late linking up to Seasonal Sundays, but our son was here for the afternoon and for dinner; and we just now got to take our pictures. I wanted to show our fall mantle and foyer before I take it all down for Christmas decs. Until I started looking at blogs, I only changed our mantle once a year, and that was at Christmas. But this year, I decided to try decorating it for fall. I know some people change their mantle every season, but I've always found mantles to be a unique decorating challenge. Ours has evolved over the years, but I haven't found enough different looks to change it every season. Maybe one day.

Full disclosure, most of my misspent youth (and adulthood) revolved around recording studios, concert halls and record stores. Way more than 10,000 hours. So I have a soft spot for any home with a recording studio. Continue reading

AT&T Mulling Over Billing App Developers for Data Usage by Apps
In the past, developing an app was comparatively easy. You needed to code it, debug it, market it and then make money. Now, things are going to be tougher when it comes to developing apps for devices on AT&T network.
As per the sources close to the decision making top brass of AT&T, the biggest network carrier in the US is thinking about billing developers and publishers for the bandwidth usage caused by their apps.
A recent statement made by AT&T executive John Donovan from the ongoing Mobile World Congress, indicates that the carrier is thinking about a new billing plan for data usage, so that the customers will not be stifled by the data usage of a particular app but the developers will pay for it.
Though the company is still mulling over the idea, it is likely to receive mixed responses if implemented. Right now, mobile data usage is rocketing up with faster devices flooding the market.
AT&T and rival network Verizon have already halted new takers under their unlimited data usage plans and are threatening users with high charges if they cross data usage limits.
So, if the new billing system is implemented, it will take the pressure away from the shoulders of the user as far data usage is concerned.
However, the move will not be so good for smaller developers if their apps happen to be streaming video or cause high data usage.
That way, the new system, if implemented, may stifle the competition in the app markets and stratify the app publishing community.
In a gist, it will be great for the carrier as they get a new source of revenue without vexing the customers. However, we will have to wait and see how the developer community and technology companies will react to it.

It is clear that I am destined to obsess over every little detail of this impending wedding, including details that I cannot control. Such as: the weather and the sunset.
Now, this being the 21st century and astronomy and physics having progressed very far in the last 500 years, I can say with much certainty that the sun will set at precisely 6:45 pm. This fits in nicely with cocktail hour; shortly after the sun sets, the guests proceed from the veranda with their mint juleps to the main barn for dinner...
The weather, however, is less predictable, particularly with global warming relentless attacking us the way it does these days. I have done a careful analysis of the weather in Durham on October 11 over the past 62 years. Graph 1 shows a histogram of the average temperature (F) binned by 5 degrees. Fortunately it falls to an approximate Gaussian, meaning the sample size is large enough to make some guesses. The average temperature is 60 degrees with a standard deviation of 7, pretty much a nice fall day. But that is the mean of averages, which doesn't really tell us anything. We really want to know what are the chances of it being too hot or too cold.
Graph 2 is a histogram of the high temperature (F) with the same binning. Not as nice looking but we can still get some useful information. The average high for that day is 74 +/- 8. And since the wedding is most likely starting at 5:00, we should expect us to be just coming off such a high. The lows similarly fit more or less to a Gaussian, giving an average overnight low of 50 +/- 9.
Of course, global warming is still a concern. Fortunately the daily highs, lows and averages remain consistent if I only average them over the last 30 years. Plotting the temperatures in a scatter plot reveals no discernible pattern (Graph 3). This is good. It means that I am unable to predict the weather with high school level statistics.
So, we've covered sunset and temperature. All that's left is rain. That we will have to save for another day.

Express/Impress Yourself
I love watching "Whose Wedding Is It Anyway?" when I'm home on a weekday. It's better than "Wedding Story," insofar as "Whose Wedding" emphasizes the humor and the melodrama, rather than the phony romance stuff. During the opening credits, you hear the voices of wedding planners, speaking their words of wisdom. One of them says, "You only have one day, this one day to express yourself."
I am pretty sure that every single syllable in that sentence is false.

Signature Cocktail
It turns out that you can spend a good deal of money on alcohol when planning a wedding; and not just the stuff you need to get you through the day. Open bars can be expensive gambits, particularly if you fear being fleeced by the caterer (and I've watched enough Whose Wedding Is It Anyway? to be afraid of being fleeced by
So one of our ideas was to have, to cut down on waste, signature cocktails that our guests could choose over beer or wine. And we are batting around the idea of some decidedly southern drinks like a mint julep or a slow comfortable screw up against a wall. Of course, we can't call it a slow comfortable screw up against a wall, for fear of shocking the more genteel of our guests. We'll gussy it up with a name like, "peach blossom" or some other fruity name that will appeal to the girl-drink drunk in all of us.
And there is something inherently classy in the notion of passed mint juleps on the veranda of a charming southern farmhouse....

7 Natural Cancer Cures That Have Been Buried by the FDA, AMA and CDC
While cancer researchers and oncologists tend to have a genuine desire to find a cure for cancer, chances are their Big Pharma-based sponsors are eager to keep cancer cures buried. Why? Because cancer makes money — A LOT of money. The National Institutes of Health predicts that spending on cancer treatments could rise to $207 billion by 2020.
So, how do you ensure that millions of Americans will get 'The Big C'? You discourage effective preventative practices, say foods and supplements serve no purpose and bury the ground-breaking, life-saving cures that are discovered.
It's common knowledge that most physicians only understand "medicine" to the extent that their Big Pharma rep explains it. And as for food, chances are your doctor took no more than ONE nutrition class in his or her entire academic career. In fact, many doctors have become nothing more than diagnosticians, programmed to hear a set of symptoms and write a prescription that masks said symptoms.
How The Medical Field Was Hijacked and Cancer Cures Buried
Nearly 100 years ago, the American Medical Association (AMA) removed nutritional education from medical school curriculums. Since then, medical doctors have not been trained to use—or even view–food and natural substances as medicine; they're not even allowed to suggest to their patients that natural substances can prevent disease and function as medicine!
Western Medicine now labels any holistic practitioner a "quack," boasting the notion that only vaccines and pharmaceuticals have the ability to prevent and cure diseases. And adding to their disgusting abuse of power and monopoly, they've made it ILLEGAL for other health specialists to tout the preventative and healing properties of foods and natural substances.
Thats right. It is currently illegal and punishable by law for any food, herb, supplement or tincture manufacturer to inform the public that a side effect-free substance has been clinically proven to prevent a disease for which Big Pharma has a pill. Yet pharmaceuticals advertised on TV have free reign to emotionally persuade viewers before providing a laundry list of side effects such as depression, bleeding, dizziness and even death. Often times the very symptom you're trying to avoid is a potential side effect!
Yet, when cancer cures are discovered, the industry seems to do all it can to keep the information buried and the well-intended researchers blacklisted. For years this has worked, keeping effective treatments out of the hands of patients in need, and beaucoup dollars in the pockets of Big Pharma. But in today's world of fast-moving messages, independent online publications, whistleblowers and online forums, it's getting harder and harder to keep their dirty secrets hidden.
7 Cancer Cures Conventional Medicine Doesn't Want You to Know About
Natural News compiled this great list of the top seven natural cancer cures that have been hidden and buried by our "trusted agencies." Because a portion of their revenue comes from Big Pharma, the GMO Agriculture giants, lobbyists and politicians—all with a vested interest in cancer treatment revenue—the ground-breaking works of these researchers may never be realized. Worse, they may never be utilized.
From NaturalNews.com:
1. The AMA once paid a cancer virus researcher $250K to retire in Mexico and stop working on natural cures.
2. Burzynski documentary reveals true agenda of FDA and cancer industry to destroy cancer cures that really work.
3. 'Dying to Have Known' documentary features Gerson Therapy natural cancer cure.
4. Harry Hoxsey: Guilty of Curing Cancer with Herbs.
5. Magic mushrooms could treat depression, but clinical trials unnecessarily delayed by drug laws.
6. Marijuana – A cure for cancer?
7. Beat cancer with 35 percent hydrogen peroxide!
Prevent and Pay it forward
The truth is, Mother Nature has a cure for everything—even if we've yet to discover it. More importantly, nature also offers prevention and immunity for everything under the sun! Nutritionists and Naturopathic Physicians will tell you that chemical-free fruits and vegetables are the keys to fighting inflammation, protecting your healthy cells, living a healthy life and healing. A plant-based diet can heal nearly any health problem, and the body is like a machine that fires "on all cylinders" when given the correct fuel.
Take this knowledge and be on your way to health freedom and natural living, where you have lots of energy, rarely ever get sick, can think critically all the time, can be spiritual and independent and take care of your family!

14+ Tips for Safe Travel in Dangerous Countries
I have spent years traveling the world and a lot of this time traveling has been spent in what would be considered dangerous countries. Ever since I learned what to do to have safe travel in these countries, nothing has ever happened to me. It is from this experience that I hope to help out Swoop The World readers on how to have safe travel in dangerous countries.
Where to stay
For safe travel, where you are staying plays a big roll. You can travel to what is considered a safe city, but if you book a hotel in the worst part of the city, the chances of something bad happening shoot up. This can be avoided by doing research ahead of time on what the best areas of the city are to stay in. In places like Colombia, doing this type of research is crucial.
ATM rule
In dangerous countries there is a well known rule that all locals follow…. never go to the ATM at night. The soft rule is actually to never go to the ATM alone. The ATM is one of the places you will be targeted so make sure to visit the ATM with friends or at a time and place that would be considered safe. It's not worth getting your account emptied.
Showing phone
Smart phones are probably the biggest targets of thieves in dangerous countries. They are small, easy to transport and very valuable. You can avoid a lot of robberies by simply not playing with your phone while walking on the street.
If you are going to a particularly dangerous part of the city it's best to buy a 20$ burner phone and just bring cash. It's best to expect to be robbed in places like this.
Showing money
Showing money or "papaya" is something all locals in dangerous countries know is not a good idea. Unless you are in particular areas, looking like you have a lot of valuable things on you is going to make you a huge target. As guys chasing girls we must balance this with still being attractive to the opposite sex. "No des papaya."
Avoiding trouble
When you travel and are seen with beautiful local girls, guys can get quite jealous. They may say certain things to you while the two of you are out (or even when you are alone), just ignore it and pretend like you don't understand. If I reacted to every time a local said something to me, I'm pretty sure I would be dead by now. Keeping your pride in check and looking at the big picture alone will make you 10 times safer than the next guy.
Don't go to girls in bad parts
Many times, we will meet girls online or in clubs who will want us to go see them in a certain part of the city. If you want you can do this, but make sure to do some research on what part of the city you are going to. In a dangerous city, you could be risking a lot by going to these parts as a foreigner, not to mention the small chance of a setup. It's always safer to have the girl come to you.
Uber over Taxis
Uber is something that has made safe travel much easier. Not only does it save you from having to haggle as the taxi tries to rip you off, but it means your ride is probably 100 times safer because the application knows where the driver is at all times. This means that if something happens to you, they will know exactly who the driver was and where he went.
Calling taxis over street taxis
Hailing a taxi on the street is not what I recommend for safe travel. By hailing a taxi, you enter the car of an anonymous person who has nothing stopping him from calling some friends and driving you into some alleyway for a setup. This is why you should call the taxi company over taking one from the street. When you call a taxi, the taxi has accountability because the company knows you are with them.
Always know where you are going
In my previous tip, I talked about a scenario where the taxi drives you to a setup. Simply knowing where you are going, with your eyes or on google maps, can end up saving you from getting robbed or worse. If the taxi ever starts going in the wrong direction, tell him in a calm, but firm voice that this is not the way and to turn the other way. This will also prevent metered taxis from overcharging you.
Wallet and phone in front pockets, not back
As far as pickpockets go, seeing a guy with his phone or wallet in the back pocket of his jeans is like Christmas. The reason for this is because pickpockets can easily remove things from your pocket without you feeling anything. This is why you should always keep your valuables in your front two pockets. Your peripheral vision will catch any hands entering those pockets. They know this so beware of distractions or big groups of people where your vision of your front pockets could be interrupted.
Not looking like an easy target
The best way of not getting robbed is by simply looking like a guy they don't want to fuck with. Ironically, the most dangerous countries generally have smaller people. Hitting the gym, looking like you know what you are doing and where you are going goes a long way. A thief will always choose an easy looking target over one who looks like he could kill him. This is why girls are usually robbed ten times more than men in dangerous countries.
Only trust girls to sleep over who are obviously into you
While traveling, the time when you are most vulnerable is as you sleep. When you meet a girl and sleep with her and she wants to stay the night, you must weigh this decision. If you doubt at all that her feelings are sincere or have been a dick to her, don't let her stay the night.
Partying smart
The time when most bad things happen is late at night when you have been drinking. Staying alert at these moments is essential for safe travel. This is when you are more likely to start things with other guys, wander into dangerous areas at the most dangerous times (night), etc.. While partying, keep in mind that this is when you are the most vulnerable and need to be smart.
Avoiding Scams
One of the biggest parts of safe travel is simply to avoid scams. There are countless scams out there so the best I can do is list some common ones:
- Sick grandma – a girl asks you for money for her sick grandmother
- Money for University – a girl asks you for money so she can pay her University
- Special drinks – a girl takes you to a special bar or club and orders drinks, when you get the bill you see that each drink is extremely expensive. The staff demands that you pay the outrageous bill
- Drugging you – Always watch your drink when alone with a girl, you can best learn this lesson from THC's experience
- Many, many more. Make sure to add in any that you know in the comments

SPRINGFIELD - In a game that pitted a pair of the nation's most highly regarded juniors, Philadelphia's Neumann-Goretti outraced Orlando Christian, 63-40, in Spalding HoopHall Classic action Saturday.
Ranked the nation's No. 13 guard in the Class of 2014 Goretti's Ja'Quan Newton (17 points, six rebounds, four assists, three steals) and OCP's Miami-bound guard Adonys Henriquez (11 points, six rebounds) garnered the headlines before and after the game.
"That's nice, but that's not something that ever enters my mind," Newton said. "I'm just out there with the team trying to get the win."
Nothing punctuated the Saints' victory more than the reverse dunk by junior guard Troy Harper, which set the score at 60-40 with just under 2 minutes remaining. The slam signaled the entrance of many of the team's second unit.
After a relatively quiet start, the Saints used a trio of throwdowns to announce their arrival in the second quarter. John Davis threw down twice in transition, and Tony Toplyn added a dunk of his own for Goretti, which also ratcheted up its defense in the frame, en route to a 26-19, halftime lead.
Adding to its first-half edge was a decisive 18-0 advantage in fast-break points for Goretti.
"It was just about getting into our rhythm and settling down," Newton said. "We had a bit of a slow start, but coach just told us to settle in and play our game. That's what we did in that second quarter."
While the majority of the spotlight in the game fell onto Newton, Neumann-Goretti used contributions from up and down its roster to seal the win. Davis (nine points, 10 boards) fell just shy of a double-double, while Toplyn tacked on seven points.
Following a fall on his shooting hand in the second quarter, Henriquez had a difficult time with his long-range stroke, but once he shortened his scope the results began to appear.
Goretti improved to 11-4 with the win, while OCP dropped to 12-4.

PC-O9WX ATX Cube Case - Black
- Lian-Li announces the PC -O9 chassis - the latest in its esteemed O-series open-air chassis.
Stock Code: CA-74K-LL
Manufacturer: Lian-Li
+44 (0)1782 44 44 55
PC-O9WX ATX Cube Case - BlackLian-Li announces the PC -O9 chassis, the latest in its esteemed O-series open-air chassis. This new mid tower case features a distinctive dual-compartment design: one side uses all aluminum panels, the other is wreathed in beautiful tempered glass.
The PC-O9 is split into two sections for optimized cooling, organization, and style - it's like two different cases fused together as conjoined twins. Similar to the PC-O8, the primary compartment uses two large tempered glass panels spanning the sides of the case to showcase the motherboard, VGA cards, and overall flashiest components. The secondary compartment houses the PSU and drive rack in a windowless aluminum exposure. Both compartments are separated by a band running down the middle of the chassis, which contains the inputs and power button. No other case lets builders isolate different components into organized compartments to this degree.
Lian Li's Best Chassis for Water CoolingThe PC-O9 has the most flexible cooling layout in its series. It includes five 120mm fans - two exhaust fans behind the drive cage and three intake fans mounted between the compartments. The top panel in the glass compartment has three additional 120mm fan mounts; both top and bottom panels include removable mesh dust filters in this compartment. Water cooling enthusiasts can install up to two 120mmx360mm radiators, one replacing three included 120mm fans and another at the top panel in the glass compartment. To maximize space, builders can hide a radiator in the aluminum compartment, with rubber grommets for all-in-one tubes to pass inside the glass compartment. DIY enthusiasts will appreciate an included, removable mounting plate compatible with most pumps, with plenty of room in the back aluminum compartment for reservoirs and tubing.
Designed for Big, Beautiful Builds
The PC-O9 mounts VGA cards up to 420mm long, or 290mm with a thick radiator on the front fan mount, ATX PSUs up to 290mm, and CPU coolers up to 160mm tall. It offers eight expansion slots for high-end multi-GPU setups. The removable drive cage is tucked out-of-sight in the aluminum compartment and mounts as many as six 3.5" and two 2.5" drives for a total of eight, all mounted on rubber vibration dampeners. An included RGB lighting kit and controller is pre-installed, so builders can put together a clean, LED-lit professional-quality build right out of the box.
Lian-Li PC-O9WX Key Features
- The PC-O9 features a two compartment design to separate the system into two compartments, one for the motherboard and graphics card section, and the other for 3.5" HDD and power supply.
- Modular HDD Rack that supports up to six 3.5" drives and two 2.5" drives.
- 3 air filters fitted as standard.
- Complete LED RGB kit including waterproof LED strip, cord clip, dimmer and controller.
- The PC-O9 is designed to support the majority of commercially available integrated water coolers with space for 360mm radiators at the top and front of the chassis.
- 4 x USB3.0 on the I/O panel
- Model: PC-O9WX
- Case Type: Mid Tower Chassis
- Dimensions: (W)354mm, (H)482mm, (D)465mm
- Colour: Black
- Front Panel: Tempered Glass
- Side Panel: Tempered Glass

Customer review
Premium cost and materials, premium feel
This thing is made entirely of premium materials. I was fed up with plasticky chassis and the tower look. My last case was a thermaltake level 10 gt snow edition but as I moved to closed loops for both graphics and cpu, it didn't have the mounting options for both rads. This case has bundles of space, really much more than you need, but I like it! The secondary space for cables and drives is a nice thought and does leave a clean and uncluttered look. I was a little worried about cooling as you have no rear extraction in the main compartment, just front intake, but that's taken into the drive compartment by the row of 3 fans included, and the rads offer enough extraction through the roof. It's the finish though, really slick, the metal is a really polished look and the glass is very thick slabs! As other reviewer mentioned, the lighting effect is brilliant, take some time to think of your placement as the adhesive is very strong and you won't get it off once it's set without damaging the light strips.
I gave it 9 because of the price, it is too much, but I do feel like I've bought something that's in a class of its own.
lovely case
first things first.this case is too expensive.my last watercooled build was a corsair 900d and was very easy to work on,that thing was huge.
while not being a tiny case,i found it to be more difficult to work on,things like the drive bay cage and power supply have to go in after as they obscure the holes for the cabling.
not a big deal but worthy of mention.
everything is forgiven now ...it is an absolutely gorgeous case.its quiet(must be the alloy and all that glass)the bundled rgb lighting kit works great and looks awesome.
did i mention its expensive? not when it looks this good,its worth the money.

Rameswaram fishermen ended the first day of fishing after the 45-day ban period on a happy note with a good catch of prawns. With the Sri Lankan Navy keeping away, the fishermen had a trouble-free day in Palk Bay.
The fishermen, who were worried about the presence of the Sri Lankan Navy near the International Maritime Border Line (IMBL), heaved a sigh of relief as they sighted no vessels.
Sources in the Fisheries Department said the 3,800 fishermen, who had ventured into the sea on Saturday morning in 765 trawlers, returned safely on Sunday morning.
Owing to strong wind, the sea was slightly rough, making pulling of nets a difficult task, but at the end of the day, the fishermen had a good catch of prawns, cuttlefish, crabs and all varieties of small fishes, said P. Sesu Raja, district secretary, Tamil Nadu Coastal Mechanised Boat Fishermen Association.
Interaction with a cross section of fishermen by The Hindu revealed that the average catch of prawns ranged from 150 kg to 200 kg per boat. As they used a bottom trawler net, they were also able to catch a good amount of cuttlefish and crabs. The price of full grown prawns was also better compared to last season though it could fetch more, they said.P. Sasi (35), owner-cum-driver of a trawler, said while most of the smaller boats stayed in the Indian waters, some of the big boats strayed a few kilometres beyond the IMBL, due to the absence of the Sri Lankan Navy. "We sailed up to 16 nautical miles (4 kms) beyond IMBL," he said.
He had spent about Rs. 55,000 for the day's fishing, with a major chunk going for buying diesel worth Rs 30,000, and Rs 23,000 towards wages for the crew. However, he got a catch worth about Rs 90,000, he said. "I am happy with the catch," he said adding he had refurbished his trawler with Rs 1.5 lakh and was confident of breaking even in a month.
K. Selvam (36), a trawler driver, who has been fishing since the age of 10, said he stayed in the Indian waters. There was no need to cross the IMBL as the catch was good in Indian waters, he said.
J. Irudhayaraj (42), a owner-cum-crew member, was also a happy man on Sunday. "There was a lot of apprehension till we reached Katchatheevu and we heaved a sigh of relief only when we found no presence of the Sri Lankan Navy," he said.
On Saturday night, the Sri Lankan navy personnel had flashed focus lights from Thalaimannar jetty, signalling them not to come too close, but otherwise, they faced no problems, he said.
He sold his catch for Rs 70,000, making an earning of Rs 20,000. K. Ponraj (45), a trawler driver, said he sailed up to 14 nautical miles, crossing the IMBL and had no problem with the Lankan Navy.

This road is important as the urban development authority is giving alternate plots in Sector 37C to people affected by the Dwarka Expressway and many housing projects are also coming up here.
But nearly 50 houses in Garauli Khurd village are coming in its way and land acquisition has been held up for years due to pending litigation in the Punjab and Haryana high court.
Officials told TOI on Tuesday that Huda is to soon draw a new plan to develop the road and some builders have even offered land from their projects for the alignment.
The change in alignment to ensure early completion of this important road is likely to benefit several residential projects of the area. More than 8,000 flats, including affordable houses, are on the verge of completion and developers are planning to give possession to buyers in the next six months, according to officials.
"At present, sectors 37C-37D road has no connectivity with Gurgaon-Pataudi Road. The proposed road is delayed due to litigation over removal of houses coming in the way. Some of the builders in the area have proposed to give their land to complete the road by changing its alignment. We have forwarded their proposals to senior officials," planning assistant, district town planner's office, Jaiveer Sharma, said.
Other important roads of the area like sectors 37C-9B road and sectors 37D-9B road are also delayed due to pending litigation. "So now there is pressure to complete the sector 37C-37D road, which will improve connectivity in this area," Sharma said. Huda has proposed to acquire 100 acres for Sector 37C. As per the layout plan, the sector will have 1250 plots. But till now, only 600 plots are free from litigation. "The development of this sector is linked to completion of Dwarka Expressway also. Families affected by Dwarka Expressway are being given alternate plots in Sector 37C and they have been demanding for development of the sector," said the official.

< Graduate Success : New Zealand Painting and Printmaking Award 2011 | T-shirt design competition 2011 >
Whitecliffe lecturer Matt Dowman received a Merit Award for his painting Summer Shudder at the 2011 Molly Morpeth Canaday Art Award.
The award began as the Shell Art award in 1986 instigated by Jacqui Hughes and Lynne Dawson as the cornerstone of a multi-disciplined annual arts festival for Whakatane. It was in 1991 that the Molly Morpeth Canaday Trust became the principal sponsor and the award became known as the Molly Morpeth Canaday Art Award held annually in conjunction with Summer Arts events in Whakatane.
Molly Morpeth was passionate about painting and in the 1960's showed her maturity as an artist when her works became confident, colourful; totally embracing expressionism.
Of equal importance have been the moves made by Frank H. Canaday, her husband, to assist the arts in New Zealand by the establishment of a series of funds. The Molly Morpeth Canaday Trust in Whakatane is one of the few remaining. It benefits emerging artists nationwide in 2 and 3 dimensional work in two events: the Molly Morpeth Canaday 3D Award and the Molly Morpeth Canaday Art Award for painting and drawing.

The Value We Bring
The reporting, mapping, and overall process was absolutely perfect." - Delivery Services Manager, Abbott, Abbott Park, IL
What is Management Consulting?
A person or firm primarily retained to provide solutions to problems. The typical benefits of hiring a management consultant include the following:
- Independence—the management consultant brings an independent view of issues and should not be biased by company culture or politics.
- Skills—the management consultant brings knowledge, creative skills, experience, and industry insights gained through similar projects. These skills bridge the gap to arrive at a solution.
- Analysis—A management consultant is likely to bring analytical tools, methods, and best practices that might not otherwise be available to others in your company.
- Resource—the management consultant's time and costs are a variable cost that can be managed by the client. Your company cannot possibly retain full-time people with all the necessary skills and expertise for all your special project needs.
These case studies provide examples of the solutions we have generated for our clients.

The average production downtime was 56% comprised of a planned downtime of 43% and unplanned downtime of 13%. The team mapped the downtime process and prioritized the non-valued added steps impacting unplanned downtime. The team discovered that the non-value-added activity unplanned exception reports occurred on approximately once per day shutting a line down for 10 hours on average.
The team reduced the unplanned exception related downtime reports from an average of 10 hours to 1.5 hours and established visual controls for the group issuing the exception reports to measure future performance for the unplanned exception report cycle time.
Coached two production teams in problem solving to help reduce issues causing downtime. The results achieved were:
- Team 1 reduced unplanned downtime on the production line for packaging a major product 95% from 440 minutes to 20 minutes per run. This packaging configuration is run at least 30 times per year.

Client called us in to help them respond to the nonconformances and put them on the right track for transitioning to ISO 9001:2015 and maintaining their certification. We reviewed the nonconformances and developed a plan to answer the non-compliances within 12 weeks.
We revised the old policy manual to align with the new standard, created an interaction of processes map, developed process models for the key processes, established a process to address the context of the organization requirement of the standard, identified risks and opportunities and set up a system to prioritize the risks and opportunities. We also helped the client develop action plans to address the high priority risks and opportunities. Once the new system was in place we trained internal auditors and led internal audits of the system.
We digitized/hyperlinked all documentation and installed it on their IT system, providing access from the boardroom down to the shop floor.
Finally, we facilitated a management review meeting of the new system. The documented evidence of all the changes was then presented to the third-party auditor for review. The third-party auditor conducted a certification assessment and found no major or minor nonconformances enabling the client to meet all the requirements of ISO 9001:2015 and remain certified to ISO 9001.
