This is something my father taught me in Grade 5 and it's such a very useful tip since then!
Sometimes, there are sizes of paper or canvas that we want to divide in equal parts but have difficulty doing so because the measurements of the paper are not divisible by the number of parts we want to get. Example, we want to divide a 4" x 4" paper into 3 parts, but 4" is not divisible by 3. Or 6" into 5 equal parts. Normally we would reach for our calculator and end up with an infinite X.33333333333 as the answer. But there is no .333333333 visible on our rulers. So, I present to you a very simple technique which, I think, is loosely based on the Complementary Angle Theorem in Geometry... but whatever. You are most welcome to correct me if I'm wrong about that. :)
Here we have a 5" x 5" cardstock that I'd like to divide into 3 equal parts. The problem is, 5 isn't divisible by 3.
The nearest number to 5 that is divisible by 3 is 6 and so, I twist my metal ruler so that the 0" mark is on the left edge, and the 6" mark is on the right edge like so:
Dividing Your Paper in Equal Parts

"Oh, The Dread That's My Handwriting!"
It is a common affliction: the dread over one's handwriting on a scrapbook page. Many believe their handwriting are just atrocious, that they don't deserve to be recorded for posterity. I'll tell you what: the less you use it, the more uncomfortable you'd be with it in the long run. So, practice is the only answer.
One of the things I love about old documents are the handwriting of the officials who prepared them. The seeming uniformity of the angle by which the letters lean to; the size and shape of each character; the clever use of either a fountain pen or a ballpoint pen; and of course, I love, love the fluorishes for the capital letters and the final letters of a line or sentence. They are simply beautiful! But you know, if you look at them very closely, they are far from perfect. And that fact makes them one. Granted, they had no choice because there's no computer back then and, therefore, they had more practice with it.
This tip is for those who want to improve their handwriting and have that personal touch on their journals or scrapbooks. This is not really for those who want to be a professional calligrapher, because honestly, I don't know how to teach it.
First tip is to work on the slant of your letters. No matter how weird you think your letters look, if you have a seemingly uniform angle for your words, sentences or paragraphs, they'd look smashingly awesome! A cheat suggestion: instead of just lined paper you use as guidelines at the back of your writing surface, try adding diagonal lines (about 45 degrees) that run from end to end. Or lines perpendicular to your guidelines, however you'd like it to be. Follow that angle when you write and when you get the hang of it, try to write faster. The slower you write, the wobblier your lines are. The faster your strokes are, the better they look.
This won't happen overnight, I'm telling you now. So, if you really want it, try to be patient. Part that makes a beautiful handwriting is the confidence by which you do it and that only comes with constant practice. Like all skills, it requires practice, practice, practice. Remember also, that it is HANDwriting. It doesn't have to be 'perfect' like our computer fonts.
Your handwriting is part of the story you're telling in your journal or scrapbook. I certainly believe that it is a story on its own.
Till next time!

There Was A Time...
... when we called it 'letter transfer' or 'transfer tones' in college. We used them for labels and titles and rendering in mixed media. When I got into papercrafting full time and was exposed to scrapbooking and cardmaking products, I learned that they call it rub-ons and they have lots of designs too! And transfer tones now refer to transferring ring tones from computer or mobile to another mobile phone! How things change. :)
I bet, those letter transfers at National Bookstore and SM Stationery are sorely neglected because I can see them stacked and rubber banded and shoved up the corner shelves. I hope some of you notice them when you go visit.

Martial Law... Again?
I know I said that this blog is all about papercrafting but I thought this is too important an information not to be disseminated: Ex-envoy to US confirms military rule plan.
We cannot go there. We should not allow ourselves to go there again.

Christmas Craft Party
It's the middle of the year and it's time to prepare papercrafts for my Christmas Craft Party. Last year had been successful and this year, I'm ticking off boxes of products to be made available to sell. I'm not even half-way through but I'm trying to experiment about some projects.
There is no specific date yet but it will be sometime in November 2009. It will be fun! :)

If you are reading this, you are already within a narrow cross-section of people whose eyes have not rolled up into their heads at seeing the term "spectrum auctions" in a headline.
Welcome to the 5th annual review of telecommunications infrastructure development in Africa. This review combines my analysis of the last 12 months as well as links to over 350 articles covering a range of African telecom infrastructure development issues in 2018.
TV White Space (TVWS) technology and regulation has its roots in the United States in the early 2000's where there was an emerging sense of the growing impact of wireless technologies designed for unlicensed (ISM band) use as well as a recognition that manufacturing costs were coming down substantially. Low-power use of unused guard bands in the VHF and UHF television frequencies seemed to ho
The value of being connected to a communication network is steadily rising.
Advocating for change in spectrum regulation is not a game for sprinters. As someone who has championed dynamic spectrum regulation for a longer than I would ever have imagined, I am still getting used to the idea that what looks like the finish line, may just be the start of a another lap.
On Friday, March 23rd 2018, the South African communications regulator (ICASA) formally gazetted
Welcome to the 4th annual review of telecommunications infrastructure development in Africa. This is the first year I have managed to get the Africa Telecoms Infrastructure Review out in a truly timely manner, perhaps that bodes well for my taxes too. The review contains links to 140 news articles on telecom development in Africa in 2017.
I attended the Telecom Infra Project Summit last week in Santa Clara where the OpenCellular Project (yes, a project within a project) announced a
Welcome to the 3rd annual review of telecommunications infrastructure development in Africa. A bit like my taxes this year, this review is coming a bit late but is still relevant, especially in the context of the previous reviews helping to frame the arc of change of the last three years. The review contains links to over 120 news articles on telecom development in Africa in 2016.
The landscape of telecommunications is changing. The mobile revolution is maturing and entering a new phase of slower growth. The rapid spread of fibre optic networks is increasing the ability of existing operators to deliver broadband but is also opening up possibilities for new players. The value of being "connected" continues to grow even as the cost of access slowly comes down.
As connectivity becomes increasingly valuable to everyone, access to communication is becoming as important as access to other kinds of basic infrastructure. As a result there is an increased urgency to make affordable communication infrastructure accessible to ALL citizens.
Spectrum auctions are widely regarded as "best practice" in the assignment of wireless frequencies where demand exceed availability yet, as of 2013 among African countries, only Nigeria had successfully conducted a spectrum auction.
Mobile telephony has transformed access to communication in emerging markets. In 1994, there were more telephone lines in New York City than in the whole of Africa. These days, about two thirds of the population in sub-Saharan Africa is covered by a mobile phone signal. That's an amazing and profound change yet there are still millions of people who don't have access to mobile networks.
A look back. My review of African telecom infrastructure development in 2014.
There are many factors that have the enabled the successful scaling of the Internet into a global phenomenon: a consensus-based, voluntary approach to standards; decentralised design; and, a vast body of openly-licensed software have all contributed.
Have you ever found yourself at a party where you felt like if someone discovered who you really were, you would be ejected imm
Previously I've written about why experts find it so hard to agree on spectrum regulation. However there is one aspect of spectrum that I haven't touched on and that is the fact that radio waves are invisible, which turns out to be a basic practical challenge.

What to look for when hiring a Landscaping Contractor
One has to be very careful in hiring a Landscaping Contractor to plan and create a beautiful looking front elevation or backyard of your house.
First you have to identify what type of landscaping contractor you need as there are specialists like Landscape architects, commercial landscaping contractors and residential landscaping contractors. Landscape architect is used for commercial landscaping as well as residential landscaping.
Several people like to do minor landscaping jobs by themselves as a hobby or for some other reasons but for big landscaping jobs it is always better to hire a landscape contractor. Hiring a professional landscaping contractor could cost more but it is definitely worth the money as you don't want to mess up your front elevation there by reducing the value of your house.
Look for a landscaping contractor who has good knowledge of plants or shrubs suitable for the weather in your area catering for different seasons is important. Look for an insured contractor with good references and proper state license to make sure that the contractor is a respectable, trustworthy landscaping contractor.
A good landscaping contractor knows how to seed & care for the lawn along with shrubs and plants. Fall and spring maintenance jobs are common tasks for good landscaping contractors.

BRIDGEWATER, Mass. – Senior guard Ryan Carney (Easton, Mass.) scored a team-best 20 points, including the 1,000th of his career, to lead fourth-seeded Bridgewater State University to a 101-84 victory over #5 Framingham State University in the opening round of the 2019 Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference (MASCAC) Men's Basketball Tournament on Tuesday evening at the Tinsley Center.
The Bears (9-17) advance to the tournament semifinal round and will travel to top-seeded Salem State University on Thursday night to take on the Vikings at seven. Bridgewater is now 10-3 all-time against Framingham in the MASCAC Tournament including 8-0 at home. The Rams end the season with an overall record of 6-19.
Carney became the 29th player in BSU men's basketball history to reach the 1,000-point plateau. The milestone basket came on his final shot of the day, a three-pointer from the top of the arc with 26 seconds remaining in the game.
BSU freshman guard Admar Jaramillo (Brockton, Mass.) paced the Bears with 19 points, three rebounds, three assists, one blocked shot and a career-best ten steals, while classmate Jose Monteiro Jr. (Brockton, Mass.) came off the bench to score a career-high 18 points on 7 of 8 shooting in 17 minutes of action.
Junior forward Rayshon Ward (Fayetteville, Mass.) and sophomore forward Nick Crocker (Falmouth, Mass.) each recorded double-doubles for the hosts with Ward picking up his 15th of the season. Ward tallied 12 points and ten rebounds to go along with four steals and a career-high eight assists, while Crocker notched ten points and a game-high 13 boards as well as three assists and three blocks.
Junior forward Dimitri St. Louis (Brockton, Mass.) rounded out the Bears' six double-digit point producers as he scored 14 points and added four rebounds and a pair of steals.
The Bears overcame a tremendous individual effort by Framingham senior guard Manny Payton (Fitchburg, Mass.) who poured in a game-high 38 points on 16 of 27 shooting. The 38 points equaled Payton's career-high.
With the score knotted at 21-21 at the 11:30 mark of the first half, the Bears went on a 21-4 run over the next six minutes to open up a 42-25 lead. Monteiro Jr. scored eight points during the run including a pair of three-pointers. Framingham answered with a 10-2 run to close the gap to 44-35, but a Monteiro Jr. trifecta with the shot clock winding down on the Bears' final possession of the stanza extended the BSU advantage to 12 (47-35) as the teams headed to the intermission.
Monteiro Jr. paced the Bears with 11 first-half points on 4 of 5 shooting including a trio of three-pointers. Payton led all scorers in the opening stanza with 12 points. Bridgewater shot 54% (19-35) from the floor and 44% (7-16) from behind the arc over the first 20 minutes, while Framingham connected on 45% (15-33) of its field goal attempts but went just 2-for-10 from long range.
After Payton opened the second half scoring with a layup, the Bears reeled off seven straight points to open up a 17-point lead (54-37). A Jaramillo three-pointer started the spurt. A 10-1 Framingham run, highlighted by three layups by Payton, closed the gap to eight, 55-47, with 14:35 remaining. Bridgewater answered with a 12-2 run to take a commanding 18-point lead (67-49). Jaramillo scored five points and Monteiro Jr. notched four during the rally which was capped off by a Ward traditional three-point play. The Bears got up by as many as 23 points (84-61) in the half and maintained a double-digit advantage the rest of the way.
Bridgewater shot 50% (36-72) for the game including 12-for-32 (38%) from three-point land. The Bears also went 17-for-25 (68%) at the free throw line. The BSU defense forced 19 turnovers thanks in large part to 18 steals highlighted by Jaramillo's ten thefts.
Fitchburg shot 47% (35-74) from the floor, 26% (5-19) from behind the arc and 75% (9-12) at the charity stripe.
Senior guard Khaneil Bruce (Cambridge, Mass.), sophomore forward Cameron McCloud-Thomas (Springfield, Mass.) and freshman guard Tomas Donoyan (Belmont, Mass.) added 11 points apiece for the Rams with McCloud-Thomas (ten rebounds) and Bruce (12 rebounds) each posting double-doubles.

Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart. ~William Wordsworth
Some Firsts are fine experiences, but you know it is a one time only experience. This morning (7:30 am to be exact) I know I came to a First where I felt I was destined to be and I will be again.
Many people might find a meditation and journaling class as different, new agey and out of the box as I found interpretative dance a couple weeks ago.
But for me, walking into Jennifer Schelter's class at Yoga Schelter in Philadelphiafelt like warm sunshine. Though I'd never met anyone in the group (except Jennifer) before this morning, I knew I was safe and at home in this small circle of writers.
I didn't know the format of the class. I only knew I'd been thinking about this for months. I knew that I was interested in journaling, maybe meditating and finding out what this was about.
I always struggle with quieting my mind, but it wasn't hard this morning perhaps because I was half asleep. And after some time, Jennifer asked us to write...really whatever came to us. I started writing about how it feels every day to wake up and know I'm going to do a First.
What I didn't expect was we were all asked to share what we wrote. The words, feelings and thoughts that came out of the others in the class were so wonderful. At times I laughed and almost moved to cry. I felt like a child so happy to discover something unexpected that just touched me so.
My own offering was taken in and welcomed, encouraged. I left feeling light and grateful. A first that felt like a fit. So nice.

Marc Faber on The Fed Negative Interest Rates
Sonia: So, you are not expecting a rate hike from the US Fed this year?
Marc Faber : What I said is in my view the Fed will not increase rates this year unless there is really a very sharp pick up in the economy or there is a colossal pot-hole developing in stocks. But otherwise I doubt it because the dollar has been strong. Okay, it may weaken somewhat, but I do not think it will collapse against the euro and against the yen and the British pound and so forth. So, the dollar is relatively strong. The economy in the US, the latest say, ten indicators that came out were all on the weak side. And under these conditions I doubt the Fed will increase rates. But that is an academic debate. What is important is I think the Feds and other Western Central Bankers will keep interest rates at a very low level for a very long time and will try to keep interest rates in real terms negative. In other words below the rates of cost of living increases. - in CNBC TV 18

Newsletter – April 2016
Some months ago I relocated to beautiful Port Douglas in Far North Queensland, resting, replenishing my energy after some years of intense planetary work, soothed and filled with peace, health, inspiration and joy in the beauty of this lush and wonderful place.
Am re-emerging from this time of quiet peace without responsibility – and readying for the next pathway.
Has been so intensely challenging for many – but the gains are clear to us as we look back to the one who was us only a year ago. Surely, transforming in light, in acceptance of our path – knowing the initiations we have chosen are to alchemise our lower memories where we have been not perfect in mind, body and soul.
Relentlessly hammered by the planetary alignments, perfectly chosen by us to be here, now, and receive the benefits of this that alchemises our baser selves to golden light and mastery.
This year continues in this way – and the path gets easier even as it becomes more challenging, as we have gained the tools that support us, and deeper acceptance of our path – and even though we may question our perfection, and seriously doubt this many times, we are closer and closer to embodying our mastery, and readying to channel this perfection permanently, relentlessly, unquestionably – to Gaia and with all of our human family of light.
Along the way I have been given new Holograms of Creation – of the Physical Body – and of the Goddess – and so happy to share these to use, as they hold the highest and newest frequencies.
As I replenish my energy and complete this current embodiment – there is such a calling to share further sacred mystery schools. I feel I will spend the rest of my days sharing this training in all the corners of the earth.
Not yet confirmed – but strongly intended – is to offer The Path of the Mystic in beautiful Santorini, Greece in late September this year. Our time there in 2015 was magical, and fun. Ease, joy, beauty – and strong connection with the beautiful ones who gathered to receive in this place that holds the Atlantis codes. Will advise and confirm in next newsletter.Tell me more ...
Newsletter – August 2015
These are intense times – the planetary alignments certainly allowing us, forcing us, to go very deep to allow all that holds us bound and blocked to be acknowledged, cleared – so that all that awaits us, soon, and allows our ascension into the new world – is cleared – every block and obstruction.
Have recently relocated north of Byron Bay on the eastern coast of Australia – not so easy to make the transitions that see us say goodbye to what was not working – as there is so much to let go, so much to leave behind. As part of my own transition I found the need to draw the latest series of holograms. Using these daily, morning and night, naming each day every incident that shows where I am not aligned with my highest joy and perfection – and clearing with the holograms – clearing every block, doubt, obstruction and anxiety, every incident where I am not aligned, not in joy – all that prevents ascension into the frequencies of the new world is cleared. Have found these holograms immensely powerful – shifting me into the next level of my destiny path.Tell me more ...

Johnny's Official Motto:
"Be Sure You Are Right Then Go
David Crockett
I am a capitalist.
I am a Christian.
Johnny Molloy
Johnny loves the
Tennessee Volunteers!
results of his efforts are 44 books:
The Day & Overnight Hikes books are guidebooks, each containing 42
recommended hikes that takes the reader on a detailed journey to
infrequently visited sites, from highland meadows and open vistas
to pristine mountain streams and pioneer farms in three of the
most popular national parks and forests in the East.
Trial By Trail is a narrative, a collection of 14 real life
backpacking adventure stories that weave Smoky Mountain truth and
lore along with practical backpacking tips and glimpses of his
growth as a woodsman.
The Best in Tent Camping books parlay his vast camping experiences
throughout the Southern Appalachians, Colorado, West Virginia,
Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Wisconsin, Tennessee,
Kentucky and Florida into concise guides of the 50 best tent
campgrounds in each area offering the finest scenery and
recreational opportunities the South, Appalachians and Rockies
have to offer.
Beach and Coastal Camping in Florida details the 24 best oceanside
camping for tent, pop up and RV campers. This includes the sandy
white beaches of the panhandle to the islands of the Keys. Beach
& Coastal Camping in the Southeast follows the format of the
popular beach camping Florida book, except it expands the scope to
include beach camping destinations from Maryland down the
Atlantic, then around the Gulf all the way to the Mexican border.
50 Hikes in South Carolina.
Paddler's Guide to Everglades National Park was his initial foray
into water oriented guidebooks. This informative guide includes
detailed descriptions of all the commonly paddled routes and
campsites in the Everglades and helpful information for paddlers
who explore the backcountry. It includes over 50 photos. He is
soon to be working on the second edition of this book.
Trails of Florida's National Forests, Parks, and Preserves details
all the hiking trails of the Sunshine State's vastly underused
federal lands such as Everglades National Park, Gulf Islands
National Seashore and the Ocala National Forest. Molloy also gives
talks to various groups about the outdoor life.
The Mount Rogers National Recreation Area Handbook is a
comprehensive guide covering every marked and maintained trail in
this jewel of the Southern Appalachians. It also details
campgrounds, swimming holes, fishing streams, picnic areas and
gives vital information that every visitor to Mount Rogers needs.
He wrote Long Trails of the Southeast. This offering covers long
trails, as an alternative to the Appalachian Trail, of Louisiana,
Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and Florida. It will
give long distance and day hikers pertinent trail information they
need to enjoy these lesser used pathways of the South.
60 Hikes in 60 Miles: Nashville informs readers about all the best
hiking and walking destinations in the greater Nashville area,
from city parks to state parks and more. It highlights everything
from paved greenways to rugged foot trails of the Highland Rim.
He also helped San Antonio native Tom Taylor with the book 60
Hikes in 60 Miles: San Antonio & Austin. Johnny discovered hiking
in Texas can be quite a treat!
Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area Handbook, a
comprehensive guide, is similar to the Mount Rogers book and tells
about everything you can do in the scenic swath of Tennessee and
Molloy's 2nd adventure book is entitled From the Swamp to the
Keys: A Paddle through Florida History. Johnny started at the
Okefenokee Swamp, headwaters of the Suwannee River and paddled the
Suwannee to the Gulf. From there he paddled a sea kayak from the
Gulf past Tampa Bay to the Everglades. And from the Everglades, he
paddled to the Keys and the Atlantic Ocean. Along the way, Molloy
explored the history of Florida, and how the state has changed
over time. During this voyage unforeseen adventures occurred.
also updated
Bob Sehlinger's classic A Canoeing & Kayaking Guide to Kentucky.
In this book he updated the rivers included, then added several
more that have reveal more paddling opportunities in the Bluegrass
State. He then returned to the Sunshine State and paddled more,
enhancing, rewriting and updating of another classic paddling
guidebook, A Canoeing & Kayaking Guide to Florida. Johnny paddled
all over Florida and added many new streams to the old book, as
well as updating river access, maps and more.
Johnny teamed up
with Countrymen Press and wrote 50 Hikes in the North Georgia
Mountains, and 50 Hikes in South
Carolina and 50 Hikes in the Ozarks. Both places are underutilized
hiking destinations. He is now writing 50 Hikes in Alabama for the
Another release is A Falcon Guide to Mammoth Cave National Park.
It covers not only the caves of this American icon, with the
largest known cave system in the world, but also above ground
pursuits, such as hiking, paddling and camping. Johnny covers

Oregon couple charged with hate crime after allegedly running over black teen
The couple in Oregon who are accused of killing a black teenager have been charged with a hate crime. Officials say that their actions were racially motivated.
On August 10, Russell Courtier, 38, allegedly chased down 19-year-old Larnell Bruce with his Jeep after an alleged dispute. Courtier ran over Bruce with Colleen Hunt, 35, as a passenger in the vehicle, according to KGW. Both were arrested for murder and denied bail.
On Monday, a grand jury indicted Courtier and Hunt for intimidation in the first degree, in addition to the list of charges they face for the murdering the teen.
See photos of Larnell Bruce below:
See Gallery
They have both pleaded not guilty to the murder and intimidation charges and authorities say the investigation is ongoing.
"Intimidation means the defendants are accused of acting based on their perception of the victim's race, color, religion or disability," the Associated Press notes.
According to Time, Courtier is believed to be a member of the European Kindred, a white supremacist group.
A news release from the Gresham Police Department says they investigated Courtier's affiliation and established his motive with the help of "additional witnesses, including subject matter experts on white supremacy gangs."

Great game. I have played from 0.9. something.The biggest flaw in the game is the combat. It gets really boring once you learn how it works. It's just driving in circles with a tank and killing stuff.

"C" level employment agreement provisions
Big Red Car here. Nice quiet early morning, let's me compose my thoughts. We had a thunderstorm last night and the yard is strewn with twigs and leaves. Lots of lightning. Big Red Car loves lightning. It seems to energize my personality and make me excited. There is nothing in the world like an excited Big Red Car. Haha, Big Red Car, you crack yourself up, don't you?
So The Boss is working with a couple of his CEOs and they are looking for some guidance as to how they should define their relationship with their company — an employment agreement.
In once instance, the CEO is selling his company and is being retained by the new owners. The new owners want to ensure that the CEO does not wander off and start another company, so they are both wanting to get something done. And, why the Hell not, Big Red Car?

As a defiant response to Sad Desk Lunches, the Food52 team works to keep our midday meals both interesting and pretty -- even if they're eaten while our eyes are on the screen. Each week, we'll be sharing our happiest desk lunches -- and we want to see yours, too.
Today, Michael shares his Avocado Stratagem -- and a desk lunch that's far from sad. (P.S. -- look at that to do list!)
Michael says: One morning there was some quinoa and chopped snap peas in the fridge that my wife had made the day before. I added arugula, feta, and strawberries at her suggestion, and threw in half an avocado because, you know, we had an avocado. I scored the avocado half in the peel, wrapped in in plastic wrap, and put it in the tupperware with the salad, to be scooped out later at work with minimal oxidation. (I refer to this as my Avocado Stratagem.) At lunchtime, I dressed it all in olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper -- and put it all in a giant bowl, because eating out of a giant bowl is really fun.
Join us in our campaign to end sad desk lunches by sharing your photos on Instagram and Twitter with the #NotSadDeskLunch hashtag! We'll be regramming and retweeting our favorites.

AT&T Airs Attack Ad of Its Own
Article Comments
AT&T :they made fun of our phones you need to pull them off the TV.
AT&T: ok we will do the samething back to you but make **** up.
VERIZON: your service suck
AT&T we got the Iphone
are we five
let see how long this will last
Talk and Surf.... I am doing it right now on my CDMA phone
But That add is missleading.....
You can as a matter of fact use a HTC Hero and Talk and surf at the same time....
Go Wifi
Mom and Pop Attacks AT&T, Too.
Mississippi wireless carrier Cellular South gets in on the act, comparing the HTC Hero to the iphone 3GS.
And kick thier asses.....
they Heavly discount thier upfront Phone prices espically on data phones , the trade off is they have been doing $360 dollar ETFs for at least 2 years ( it goes down 15 dolla...
-Fastest Nation 3G? HaHaHa! its a miracle it even works!!!! they should brag about their edge instead!
-Talk & Text at the same time?? who the heck cares
-Popular smartphones? yea right, well....maybe one only.
-100,000 apps??? and not even 1/3rd of them people use.
Good Luck AT&T. Verizon can actually sue you guys for misleading with "Fastest 3G" lol. Time to spend some money and not be throwing lies like u always do.
Remember?? More bar in more places? Fewest drop calls? all those ads were lies!
And it's not Talk and Text simultaneously, it's talk ...
You can multitask on one feature with Verizon and I'm sure any other ...

And because I could care less if both carriers went up in smoke, it's good to see AT&T fight back.

If that ad is classy then Roseanne Barr is a normal, funny person.

How coverage is reported:
Showing a map of coverage that is painted red, green, orange or blue is great marketing but not as relevant as how many people live or work within the footprint.
It is possible for a carier to have more square miles of coverage and cover less of the population.
Consumers need to learn who is best in their local market where it is relevant to their needs.
In this case AT&T's 3G covers a good percentage of the population if you look at where they have covera...
When 4 G hits... I am sure we will hear about the "millions" of people covered by it while the roll out the sqr mile map

Luke Wilson???
LAME...and I even like AT&T...
If anything, AT&T should be showing that the iPhone can do Twitter/Google Maps everywhere from NYC to LA and all parts of the boonies in between (fishing on a lake) even with EDGE.
i feel....
Let's review their points for a second...
Talk and surf at the same time: True, BUT only when you're in their 3G coverage. EDGE (which is the vast majority of this coverage) is not able to do this. AND that's not something that AT&T does, it's something GSM does. So they also just gave a shout out to T-Mobile on that one too (though they'll never tell you that. If you ask them, they'll probably pull an Apple and say they invented it).
Most popular smartphones: Again, yes, they technica...
Nation's fastest 3G network : Yes, their technology has the fastest hypothetical speed currently available. Do you always ...
AT&T vs Verizon who loses?
good job at?t !
att still has over 2000 more cell sites than it's leading competitor verizon.
AT&T is really pissed at Verizon
They have bogus statements on their site such as:
"Only AT&T has the fastest 3G network, Verizon doesn't."
"AT&T has the most popular smartphones, Verizon doesn't"
"With AT&T you can talk and browse the web at the same time, you can't do that with Verizon"
"AT&T gives you access to more than 100,000 apps, that's way more than Verizon"
And if you click on a statement it doesn't show you any info beyond AT&T's statement.
What a load of crap. I know you are pissed, AT&T, but geez, this is PATHETIC
You know what this website says:
"OMG, we are losing our iPhone exclusivity next year, we better make ourselves look good"
You can't polish a terd, honey.
You can't polish a terd, honey.🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Also theoreti...
To be honest...
Typically... AT&T doesn't squabble over these incidents. The geekboys/fanboys do it for them! You know what AT&T sees? a 800,000 subscriber increase over Verizon in Q3 2009. Numbers don't lie. It doesn't matter what drove them, whether it was iPhone sales, rate plan pricing, my mother holding guns up to peoples head forcing them to buy the product... NUMBERS NEVER LIE!
The following info is from a mulitude of sites, I also, to the best of my ability, verified the numbers by looking up both AT&T and VZW's End of Quarter Conference Call documents. = )
Q3 2009 - AT&T adds 2 million subscribers. Verizon adds 1.2 million subscribers.
Q2 2009 - AT&T adds 1.4 mi...
Owen Wilson looks like...
They must be the remnnants of Sprint's old management team.
Next AT&T will compare their 3G coverage to Cricket just to validate any argument.
For Now
The $60.00 unlimited Go Phone should probably do some damage though.

Creatine (Cr) plays an important role in muscle energy homeostasis by its participation in the ATP–phosphocreatine phosphoryl exchange reaction mediated by creatine kinase. Given that the consequences of Cr depletion are incompletely understood, we assessed the morphological, metabolic and functional consequences of systemic depletion on skeletal muscle in a mouse model with deficiency of l-arginine:glycine amidinotransferase (AGAT−/−), which catalyses the first step of Cr biosynthesis. In vivo magnetic resonance spectroscopy showed a near-complete absence of Cr and phosphocreatine in resting hindlimb muscle of AGAT−/− mice. Compared with wild-type, the inorganic phosphate/β-ATP ratio was increased fourfold, while ATP levels were reduced by nearly half. Activities of proton-pumping respiratory chain enzymes were reduced, whereas F1F0-ATPase activity and overall mitochondrial content were increased. The Cr-deficient AGAT−/− mice had a reduced grip strength and suffered from severe muscle atrophy. Electron microscopy revealed increased amounts of intramyocellular lipid droplets and crystal formation within mitochondria of AGAT−/− muscle fibres. Ischaemia resulted in exacerbation of the decrease of pH and increased glycolytic ATP synthesis. Oral Cr administration led to rapid accumulation in skeletal muscle (faster than in brain) and reversed all the muscle abnormalities, revealing that the condition of the AGAT−/− mice can be switched between Cr deficient and normal simply by dietary manipulation. Systemic creatine depletion results in mitochondrial dysfunction and intracellular energy deficiency, as well as structural and physiological abnormalities. The consequences of AGAT deficiency are more pronounced than those of muscle-specific creatine kinase deficiency, which suggests a multifaceted involvement of creatine in muscle energy homeostasis in addition to its role in the phosphocreatine–creatine kinase system.

WASHINGTON (AP) � Sales of previously owned homes inched up in November but that didn't change the overall bleak picture for an ailing housing industry that has been suffering through a painful slump.
The National Association of Realtors reported today that sales of existing single-family homes, condominiums and townhouses rose 0.4 percent in November from October, to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5 million units. Over the last 12 months, however, existing home sales have plunged 20 percent, underscoring the troubles in the housing sector.
Economists were calling for sales to either move up slightly or hold steady for November.
Home prices continued to sink.
The median price of a home sold last month was $210,200. That marked a 3.3 percent drop from a year ago. It was the fifth biggest annual decline on record. The median price is where half sell for more and half sell for less.
Sales were mixed across different regions of the country.
Existing home sales jumped 10.3 percent in November from October in the West. They were flat in the Midwest. However, they fell by 2 percent in the South and by 3.3 percent in the Northeast.
The inventory of unsold homes in November was 4.27 million homes. At the current sales pace it would take 10.3 months to exhaust that overhang.
�Inventory is still high, and further reduction in prices may be required in some areas to induce buyers back into the market,� said the association's chief economist, Lawrence Yun.

This gay teen figured out a way to keep Trumps rallies empty AF
17-year-old gay teen known only as Noah started a campaign to help keep Trumps public rallies empty: Noah encourages people to reserve rally seats via Trumps website and then not show up. This keeps Trumps actual supporters waiting outside and leaves Trump speaking to arenas full of empty seats double score!
Related: Try not to laugh, but alt-right troll Milo Yiannopoulos is in serious financial trouble
In an August 10, 2019 tweet, Noah wrote, Hey everyone, you totally shouldnt go on tr*mps website and reserve tickets for his rally and not show up so that theres empty seats (the tickets are free) but you should definitely not do that!!!
His tweet got over 40,000 retweets, but he didnt expect anyone to take his idea seriously. But then, according to Out magazine:According to reports, thousands of Trump supporters were locked out of the (August 15) SNHU Arena in Manchester, New Hampshire for a reelection rally, even though there were many empty seats inside. Thousands of empty seats, according to tweets from the event. It got so bad that #EmptySeatMAGATour started trending on Twitter.

Trump Has Told Friends That Gutting Medicare Could Be a Fun "Second-Term Project"
When Donald Trump was running for president, he boldly proclaimed that he would not only balance the budget, he would eliminate the entire national debt, which at the time was approximately $19 trillion. That, of course, was about as likely to happen as Don Jr. going vegan or Ivanka publicly admitting that her father is a sick individual who needs help. Instead, President Trump has pushed the federal deficit to new heights thanks to a tax cut that did not, in fact, "pay for itself," and a trade war that has turned out to be neither "good" nor "easy to win."On Wednesday, the Congressional Budget Office said that the federal deficit will reach $960 billion for the 2019 fiscal year, which ends September 30, and breach the $1 trillion mark in 2020. Previously those figures were expected to come in at $896 billion and $892 billion, respectively, but the damage from the president's tariffs, along with a sharp falloff in revenue thanks to the 2017 tax cuts, have caused deficit projections to rise faster than expected. Incredibly, this is all happening against the backdrop of the longest economic expansion on record and the lowest jobless rate in 50 years, conditions that typically cause the budget deficit to shrink. And under the continued tutelage of Donald Trump, the New York Times reports, things are only expected to get worse:
Mr. Trump has shown little inclination to prioritize deficit reduction, and has instead considered policies that would add to the debt. The president has mused in recent days about reducing the taxes that investors pay on capital gains, a move that is estimated to add $100 billion to deficits over the next decade. He has also talked about cutting payroll taxes, which could reduce revenues by $75 billion a year for every percentage point cut in payroll tax rates.
The president also wants to make permanent many of the temporary individual tax cuts contained in the 2017 law, which are scheduled to expire in 2025. The budget office forecast assumes those cuts expire and tax revenues rise; if they do not, future deficit projections would be even larger.
The need to borrow more money has been aggravated by several bipartisan budget agreements to raise military and nondefense domestic discretionary spending. And it could increase if the trade war further chills business investment and consumer spending, resulting in slower economic growth and fewer tax dollars flowing to the Treasury Department.

Cops being racist trash
FresnoPolice raided an apartment complex, supposedly for 'gang operation," forced Blacks outside to frisk them, and then savagely beat a 17 year old high school student without provocation.
Officer Christopher Martinez, also a boxer, escalated the altercation.
It was on this date in 2014 that "Crazy/Stupid Republican of the Day" published our profile of Cliff Stearns, a twelve-term Florida Congressman who at one point during the debate over the Zadroga Bill that would provide medical coverage for 9/11 first responders, suggested that those American heroes should have to first go through background checks to assure they weren't on a terror watch list before they could get coverage. He was also accused of offering someone a bribe to drop out of a primary, along with a variety of other ethics violations, voiced his suspicions about President Obama's birth certificate, and led the GOP charge in their 2011 attempt to defund Planned Parenthood. In the 2012 elections, during the primary for his House seat, Stearns underestimated Tea Party candidate Ted Yoho, got upset, and thus ended up going into an early retirement, being given a fond send-off from Republicans at the 2012 RNC.
It was on this date in 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018, that "Crazy/Stupid Republican of the Day" shared our profiles of the U.S. House Representative from California's 25th Congressional District, Steven Knight, who prior to being elected to Congress as a California State Senator, campaigned hard to keep the Confederate flag being sold at gift shops in the state (in spite of California not being a part of the Confederacy), showed a fervent need to uphold California's ban on bilingual education, cast a vote against a ban on gay conversion therapy, and that he was also a supporter of Proposition 8, the anti-gay marriage ban in California, completing a hat trick of bigotry to be on the wrong side of African-Americans, Hispanics AND the LGBTQ community. Knight was also against workers' rights, and even simple ideas like raising the minimum wage. Since arriving in Washington, Rep. Knight has been a consistent conservative vote, particularly anti-abortion legislation, supporting such laws regardless of if they attempt to redefine rape and incest, and voting for a ban on abortion at 20 weeks. We did mention how narrowly Knight was elected, and that his seat is considered vulnerable in the 2016 elections from both the left, and right, because of his reaction to anti-amnesty immigration protesters who showed up at his office on April 21st, 2015. One of the protesters shook Rep. Knight's hand, and accused him of lying, saying he researched Knight's vote on HR 240, and that he had "voted for amnesty for immigrants". Now, that might not be the most nuanced interpretation of Knight's vote (considering that the alternative was to defund the Department of Homeland Security). But perhaps the best way to respond would not have been Rep. Knight's response, which was, "If you touch me again, I'll drop your ass." Go figure, threatening to beat up your own constituents will not endear you to them.
After all of those votes, Steven Knight saw protesters turn up outside of his offices, as well as at town halls he hosted where his constituents brought the heat over his AHCA vote and votes on broadband policies. Steven Knight was considered one of the most vulnerable Republican incumbents in 2018, and even though his district had not voted Democratic since 1993, Katie Hill managed to flip his seat with the help of the Blue Wave, as Knight only got 45.6% of the vote.
We now would like to wish him the finest of "good riddance" salutes.

Retailers, however, exuded confidence that the prices will come down over the next few days provided the supply stays on the higher side.
Aslam Shaikh, a retailer from the Shivajinagar area who visited the wholesale market on Sunday morning, said he could buy vegetables in bulk after almost three days. "There was considerably better inflow of vegetables at the wholesale market on Sunday. The prices, however, remained on the higher side," Shaikh said, adding that the prevailing supply levels have to be maintained for the wholesale and retail prices to come down.
Late Shah, who bought vegetables at Mahatma Phule market, said except for potatoes, the prices of onions and leafy vegetables were still on the higher side. "The prices of most vegetables were quoted over Rs 50/kg in the retail market," he said.
Guru Mali, a retailer in Mandai said, "Besides the farmers' strike, the supply of green vegetables has also been affected due to the pre-monsoon showers. This has pushed up their prices. The rates of most vegetables are still 30-40% more than they were before the strike," Mali said, adding that most retailers are selling vegetables with a thin margin.
Sudha Nath, a DP Road resident, said the situation was much better on Sunday as compared to the previous three days. "I was able to buy milk at a retail shop. The strike has affected people like us more since we are not able to travel all the way to main markets for daily purchases. Hand-cart vendors almost disappeared from my area over the last few days," she added.

When we develop a brand we understand your brand is you. It's often the first thing that people will see and experience about you.
And that's true for us too.
When we created our own logo we wanted to develop something which told people about us.
We use the power of creativity to make futures better today.
That's why we exist. And that's what we wanted our logo to reflect.
What's in a shape?
We understand that the shape of a logo have a significant affect on how an individual reacts to it and the organisation it represents.
Circles, ovals and ellipses, for example, tend to project a positive emotional message. Using a circle in a logo can suggest community, friendship, love, relationships and unity.
Everything that we stand for – so we adopted a circle shape.
What's in a font?
We also know that the choice of font has a significant impact on people.
Script fonts tend to be seen as care free and having a creative outlook. They are used to express creativity and emotions.
More of what we stand for – so we adopted a script font. In particular, we adopted a script font called Shadows Into Light.
Shadows Into Light is a clean, neat handwriting font which has a feminine feel with nice rounded edges and curves. It is perfect for adding a personalised touch – again, more things at our heart.
What's in a colour?
The final element that can have an impact on people is colour.
Humans love colour.
Colour also plays a key role in logos. Colours convey messages, evoke emotions, and add brilliance to everyday things.
And this is where we designed a logo which gives us flexibility and allows our creativity to shine through. We adopted two main colours – black and white.
Simplicity. It's what we love!
- White is generally associated with purity, cleanliness, simplicity and naiveté
- Black is a colour with a split personality. On the one hand it implies power and sophistication, but on the other hand it is associated with villainy and death [not something we stand for…!]
This is our logo:
But that's where our creativity came in.
Our logo is actually designed as almost a blank template or canvas. This gives us great flexibility in how we use it, especially how we can combine our colours.
We can create different colours for particular projects or needs. Here are few we have created:
But we didn't stop there.
Our logo was also designed to allow us to tweak, stretch and add to it as we need to.
For example, we often tweak our logo for particular events, such as Children in Need, World Aids Day and Christmas:

Fermentation Technology Group
The work group Fermentation Technology is headed by apl. Prof. Dr. Karl Friehs. Fermentation engineering, downstream processing of proteins and plasmid DNA as well as enzyme engineering and metabolic engineering are in the focus of research. The AG is directly connected with the Bielefeld Center for Biotechnology (CeBiTec) due the technology platform fermentation and supports other groups in large scale cultivations. Dr. Joe Max Risse is the head of the platform. The production of extracellular proteins by means of Gram negative bacteria is one of the main aims. For these purpose methods of genetic engineering, bioengineering and reaction engineering are applied. Novel research areas are represented by the aerobic microbial degradation of oil and fat, the development of phototrophic processes as well as the generation of biogas.
Cultivation of Microorganisms
Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria as well as different eukaryotes have been grown in submerse culture systems. These organisms include Escherichia coli, Klebsiella planticola, different Bacillus sp., Streptomyces sp., Pichia pastoris and protozoaes as Euglena gracilis. Cultivation conditions and operating strategies have been optimized in order to obtain maximal concentrations of products like recombinant proteins, plasmid DNA or polysaccharides. Biorefinery concepts are current research targets. The production of high-value materials in phototrophic cultivation systems like algae is in the focus of present research efforts. Residues thereof are offered to special microorganism communities in biogas processes.
Downstream Processing
Research targets in this area are the separation and purification of, primarily, recombinant proteins and plasmid-DNA, but also of special polysaccharides. Recombinant proteins include the whole range from industrial enzymes for use in biofuel processes to human transcription factors of interest in stem cell research. The main aim consists in achieving secretion of recombinant proteins into the extracellular space with Gram-negative bacteria. This is achieved by coexpressing bacteriocin release proteins which lead to rendering the outer membrane permeable. A newer way is the construction and characterization of metabolic engineered secretion strains. Different pseudo-affinity interactions are used for adsorptive as well as extractive downstream processes. Extraction processes are of particular interest even in the case of plasmid DNA separation. Plasmid DNA is processed for being applicable as vectors in gene therapy and genetic vaccination.
Metabolic Engineering
Using applied molecular genetics strains are constructed to produce specific proteins or metabolites. These strains are checked for their performance in high cell density cultivations for optimized productivity. To analyze the interaction of recombinant strains and cultivation conditions is an intensive pushed research topic.

Classic Collections – Storytelling
For a limited time, you can buy a bundle of themed Eye back issues – at a bargain price
Occasionally you meet someone whose business card says 'storyteller' – which might prompt some of us to run to a bar several blocks away – but usually they have the grace to hand over the card with an ironic shrug. As one such person said to us the other day, 'Yes, Nathan Barley has come true!'

Darling's Put on your 60's shift dress and sip on a 'Pink Squirrel' vintage cocktail!
What is this 'Pink Squirrel' I hear you say...
The 'Pink Squirrel' dates back to somewhere around the 1960's, and was popular for a decade or two then lost some of it's creamy charm....
I don't understand why... all my favourite things in one drink!
It really is a scrumptious delicate drink if you have a sweet tooth!
Another asset of this drink is it's beautiful pink hue, which is attributed to creme de noyaux. Some may try to substitute it with amaretto since it is another almond-flavored liqueur, but that throws off the color the drink is intended to have.
So How does one make a 'pink Squirrel'....
▪ Prep Time: 3 minutes
▪ Total Time: 3 minutes
▪ Yield: 1 Cocktail
▪ 3/4 oz creme de noyaux
▪ 3/4 oz white creme de cacao
▪ 1 1/2 oz heavy cream
▪ Pour the ingredients into a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
▪ Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.

|Aims and Scope of the conference
aims at bringing together remote sensing and geographic information specialists
with foresters and other forest stakeholders to foster exchanges towards an
operational and fruitful use of remote sensing techniques and products for
forest applications.
Forests are a vital component of our environment, at all levels, from local to global. They play a quadruple role, production, protection, conservation and a social one. Since the early 90's, they are subject to a renewed interest, due to wide societal concerns regarding biodiversity and greenhouse effect that have resulted in multilateral agreements such as the Convention on biological diversity or the Kyoto protocol. Consequently the needs are growing for an improved knowledge of the world forests.
In that context, remote sensing techniques have already shown that they can play a significant role in the inventory and characterisation of forests and for the knowledge of their functioning. The recent years have seen the launch of new generations of satellites, with more being expected in the years to come, and now a large range of data is available, with spatial resolutions from a few kilometres to a few decimetres and acquisition periodicity up to several times a day.

By now, you have probably watched or at least heard about Bruce Jenner's interview with Diane Sawyer on 20/20. Spoiler alert: Jenner has confirmed that he is a woman, and he is currently transitioning into the person he calls Her.
Jenner's interview was quite informative for those of us who do not understand the realities of the transgendered community. It forced us to think outside of the ideological binary boxes of sex and gender created by society.
However, while a victory for the LGBTQI community was earned by Jenner, a loss of sorts occurred on Oxygen, thanks to the Prancing Elites.
Although The Prancing Elites Project showcase another group of gay men and trans people proudly living in their truths, it also reinforces the media's stereotypical stamp on LGBTQI people.
As a result of media representations, many people expect gay men to all be flambouyant, loud, cartoonish characters who enjoy wearing makeup and dancing to Beyonce music. Yes, those individuals exist but where is the variety?
To find depictions of persons in the media who exist between the extremes of the hypermasculine, aggressive gay "thugs" and the boisterous "queens" is a difficult feat. That is an issue Terry Torro and I addressed in a recent episode of Trini Trent Radio: Gay Role Models.
Watch me further discuss the reactions to Jenner's interview and the premiere of The Prancing Elites Project in this new episode of Trini Trent TV.

Top 5 worst celeb diets to avoid in 201708 December 2016
The British Dietetic Association (BDA) today revealed its much-anticipated annual list of celebrity diets to avoid in the New Year. The line-up this year includes Clean eating, Diet pills, Teatoxes, the 6:1 diet, and Green juices.
The BDA, founded in 1936, is the professional association and trade union for dietitians in Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It is the nation's largest organisation of food and nutrition professionals with over 8,500 members.
In recent years it seems that people's fascination with food, health and fitness has sky rocketed. Whilst it is great to see a drive in the public being more health conscious, there are seemingly endless amounts of diets out there all professing to be the key to a better you, with many diets claiming to be 'healthy' when in reality, they are anything but.
With the New Year around the corner, the influx of even more weight loss blogs and social media feeds, diet books, nutrition 'experts' and celebrity-endorsed fitness DVDs on the market is inevitable. All these options can make it overwhelming for people wanting to live a healthier lifestyle or lose weight. In this situation, it is definitely worth considering whether someone is simply profiting on your dreams and rather than shedding the pounds, all you're going to lose is your hard-earned cash.
The BDA receives literally hundreds of calls from the media every year on this subject and comes across a huge range of weird and whacky diets and diet claims. Based on telephone calls and other contributing factors, here are the top 5 worst celeb diets to avoid in 2017:
1. Clean eating
Celebrity Link: Miranda Kerr and Jessica Alba are allegedly fans of this 'diet', and the Hemsley sisters, Madeline Shaw and Deliciously Ella reportedly advocate variations on this style of eating.
What's it all about? The idea is to avoid all processed foods and eat only 'clean' foods, by eliminating refined sugar, cooking from scratch, and choosing foods in their natural state. However some extreme versions of clean eating will exclude gluten, grains, dairy, and even in some cases encourage a raw-food diet.
BDA Verdict: Leave the cleaning for your kitchen work surface, not your food! Whilst it is beneficial to reduce refined sugar and limit processed food intake, the idea of foods being 'clean' and 'dirty' is concerning. In some circumstances this way of thinking is a prelude to 'Orthorexia Nervosa' – an obsession with foods that the individual considers to be healthy, and elimination of any food that is deemed unhealthy. In many cases, foods that are actually nutritionally beneficial are deemed as unhealthy such as those containing wholegrains, fruit and dairy, with no basis in scientific evidence. Unless you have a medically diagnosed intolerance or allergy to these foods, there is no need to eliminate them and doing so could lead to deficiencies in your diet. Moreover, often clean eating substitute products – such as coconut oil, and various syrups to sweeten foods – are as high in calories, no better nutritionally and more expensive too.
2. Diet pills*
Celebrity Link: Kim Kardashian and The Only Way Is Essex star, Sam Faier, have reportedly used diet pills to lose weight.
What's it all about? Many of these pills claim to keep fat from being absorbed by your body, or 'melt' fat, whilst others claim to suppress appetite or boost metabolism.
BDA Verdict: Warning: danger! Diet pills should never be taken without first consulting your GP, pharmacist or dietitian as even regulated weight loss medicines on prescription can have nasty side effects including diarrhoea. Alarmingly, there has been a rise in the number of diet pills for sale online – these products are often unregulated and can contain substances not licensed for human consumption like pesticides and have proven to be fatal.
*Those not prescribed by a medical professional.
3. Teatoxes
Celebrity Link: Nicki Minaj and Kylie Jenner's Instagram accounts feature these products and Britney Spears reportedly uses them.
What's it all about? Teatoxing is short for 'tea detoxing' – these tea products have varying claims from detoxing the body, improving skin, reducing bloating and losing weight.
BDA Verdict: Tea-toxic! These teas often contain extra caffeine in the form of guarana or yerba mate, diuretic ingredients such as dandelion and nettle and the laxative, senna, which is not safe to take for longer than a week without medical supervision. They might create the impression of weight loss and detoxification but this is usually water-weight loss. Any further weight loss would most likely be due to substituting these teas in the place of high calorie drinks or food or as part of fasting plan. With the risk of the accompanying side effects such a diarrhoea, dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, gut damage and a lack of scientific evidence, go "tea-total" on teatoxing.
4. The 6:1 diet
Celebrity Link: Coldplay singer Chris Martin reportedly followed this 'diet', claiming that it made him more creative and improved his voice.
What's it all about? The 6:1 diet involves eating like you usually do for six days and then for one day a week, some followers of this diet completely fast, meaning they don't consume any food for 24 hours.
BDA Verdict: Hungry for attention or just plain hungry? Completely fasting unless properly managed is likely to lead to a lack of concentration, tiredness and low mood, which isn't going to make you more productive. There is no evidence that a diet like this would make you more creative either, and depending on your age, health and lifestyle, fasting could be dangerous. If you want to go down the fasting route, it is important to choose an evidence-based plan and consult a medical professional to ensure that this is done in a healthy and safe way.
5. Green juices
Celebrity Link: Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Blake Lively and Gwyneth Paltrow reportedly consume 'green juices'.
What's it all about? Another means of 'detoxing' and weight management, green juices are essentially juices or smoothies made up of various fruits, vegetables, powders etc. Fans claim benefits ranging from detoxing to rejuvenation and weight loss.
BDA Verdict: Juice-less! The body is perfectly capable of detoxing itself without the aid of these green liquid concoctions. Adding a green juice to an unhealthy diet is never going to make up for poor choices when it comes to food. In addition, people add in ingredients like nuts, coconut oil and whole avocadoes to their green breakfast juices too – meaning these juices can add up to as much as 400 kcal per glass. If you are still eating your normal breakfast on top of this, you are more likely to gain weight from consuming more calories, rather than lose weight. A green juice is not a magic fix! Keep your veg and fruit whole and limit juice/smoothies to 150ml per day.
Speaking about these and other fad diets, Sian Porter, consultant dietitian and spokesperson for the BDA, said:
"We hear it all when it comes to the latest way to shed pounds from the good to the bad, and at times, even the down-right dangerous!
"It seems that as a nation we are constantly on the search for that magic bullet approach to losing weight, wanting a quick fix, taking things on face value and trusting anyone when it comes to nutrition, food and diet.
"The truth is, if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Ask for evidence and get your advice from someone properly qualified and regulated with nothing to sell or promote.
"Make small sustainable changes you need to make forever. An eating pattern for life should be the one you can stick to in the long term, not a quick fix. Enjoy a rich variety of foods in appropriate portion sizes – moderation is key as well as being physically active. Losing weight is challenging and keeping it off is too, but it's not impossible. Don't make it even harder for yourself by following a fad.

• You get one life!
I am in this life for one good run. Will I comeback? Who knows! This is a blog about success in my life through the world of entertainment and my adventures. So here it is; the truth of what keeps me going as I see people fall the side in fear, or those who take on paths that have nothing to do with their dreams. I see these people as stronger than me. To given to their fears and allow life to control them. To give them a world of basic needs. When that happens I remember how brilliant it must be to give in to that fear and how wonderfully strong a person must be to give up everything they dreamt about.
With that said, I am proud to be weaker than that. I am proud to find my needs of happiness and success much greater than surviving in a world where I know I would not be happy. I am not meant to pack out shelves. I am not meant to work for someone giving me orders to help a monster company that will happily fire me for being 15 minutes early, or 2 minutes late. I will not give my life to a company that sees me as a number in a group of people that I MUST come in or else I am being disrespectful to the system. If I am sick, I am staying home. It is after-all, just a job, that cares almost nothing for me.
Where does that lead me? Right here where I am. This is my life. I work hard, I sleep little and I can hardly see straight after a day of nonstop nonsense; BUT, I love it. I am me. I get to live my life. This one and only life. It is an amazing feeling. I can act when I want, sing when I need to, do comedy, or write. I can help people, and I can continue being the rise and fall of my success. There is nothing more beautiful than that in the world. For those who complain about their lives, I have little pity. Because you can make changes to see yourself take control of your life. Anyone, I mean anyone, can do it. You need only start doing something.

Neighborhood environment profiles related to physical activity and weight status: A latent profile analysis
Publication Date
Publication Details
Adams, M. A, Sallis, J. F, Kerr, J., Conway, T. L, Saelens, B. E, Frank, L. D, Norman, G. J & Cain, KL. (2011). Neighborhood environment profiles related to physical activity and weight status: A latent profile analysis. Preventive Medicine,52(5), 326-331. Netherlands: Elsevier BV. Retrieved from https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ypmed.2011.02.020
Background: Neighborhood built environments (BE) include combinations of co-existing stimuli influencing physical activity (PA). Dealing with numerous environmental variables and complexity presents a significant challenge. The current analysis explored whether a range of reported BE features associated with adults' physical activity produced distinct multivariate patterns, and tested whether adults' PA and body mass differed by BE profiles. Methods: Participants (20–65 years, 48.2% female, 26% ethnic minority) were recruited between 2002 and 2005 from 32 neighborhoods from Seattle-King County, WA (N = 1287) and Baltimore, MD–Washington, DC regions (N = 912). Independent Latent Profile Analyses were conducted in each region with 11 environmental variables from the Neighborhood Environment Walkability Scale. Validity of the neighborhood profiles was examined by their relationship to PA (accelerometer-derived moderate-to-vigorous minutes/day, self-reported minutes/week of walking for transportation and leisure) and self-reported BMI using ANCOVA models. Results: Neighborhood profiles for Seattle and Baltimore regions were visually similar, suggesting generalizability. High-walkable recreationally-dense neighborhoods differed significantly from other neighborhood types by as much as 13 MVPA minutes/day, almost 60 minutes/week of walking for transportation, and 75 min/week of leisure-time activity. Neighborhood profiles also differed significantly for BMI. Discussion: These findings could help identify optimal patterns of environmental attributes that facilitate physical activity and improve weight status.
