One thing most gay men out there have in common is body image issues. Be it being self conscious about how you look, how others perceive your body, or how judgmental you are about your own body.
I know I do. I've always been a short, chubby guy who's felt awkward around others who looked more like society's so-called 'norm'. And regardless of how well my life is going at the time, I've always felt a bit of inadequacy or that perhaps I wasn't trying hard enough when comparing myself to those around me, both personally and professionally.
According to psychotherapist Matthew J. Dempsey, the body image issues most gay men have are actually masking other deeper, more complex underlying inadequacies that we all struggle with, including feelings of inadequacy. There are many out there who base their self-esteem on how others perceive their physique, and fixate on trying to fix their appearance to appear more attractive to others.
Through the media and our own community, we've created this image of what a gay man should look like – tall, handsome, fit, charming, and so forth. And a lot of us have bought into that ideal so much that we spend most of our free time trying to change how we look to please those around us.
Of course that doesn't apply to everyone, as there are many people out there who are quite happy with how they look or where they are in life and are not consciously trying to change their appearance to appease others. And that's not to say that being physically active in order to become and feel healthier is buying into the stereotype either.
As explained in the below video, we tend to be overly critical of our own bodies when there are other issues at hand, and by doing this we are avoiding dealing with whatever issue is actually bothering us at the time. Instead of trying to fix our problems, we'd rather 'fix' our physical appearance because that is something we think we can have more control over.
I know I've stood in front of the mirror many times and looked at my body, wondering why I look the way I do, berating myself for not taking better care of myself when I was younger, and wondering how someone could find this rotund body attractive. It's negative thinking at it's worst, and though some may call it being self-critical, it's very destructive in the long run.
Changing our outward appearances will not fix or negate the underlying issues, but instead will mask it and give ourselves a false feeling of achievement… Though feeling good about how you look or how your body feels is an amazing thing, and it should be felt all the time regardless of your body shape.
Yes, I currently go to the gym several times a week and have been watching my diet, but it's mostly to feel healthier as a whole not to specifically look a certain way. Obviously I do hope that in the long run I will lose some weight and feel more comfortable with my body, but that's not the main goal of going to the gym.. If anything it'll just be a very welcome side effect.
I sometimes have to stop myself lately when looking in the mirror when trying to find signs that the gym is having a positive affect on my body. I need to consciously remind myself that physical appearance is less important than how I actually feel inside.
Looking a certain way will not necessarily improve your life on a whole, nor will it truly bring happiness. Sure, it may get you more dates, but are you getting those dates because of how you look or who you are as a person?
It's not an easy thing to get past when you've spent years berating yourself over your appearance, or subconsciously calling yourself names (fat, ugly, disgusting, undesirable, etc). It's difficult to change how you perceive your own body, and try to see yourself through other people's eyes.
It's hard, and it's not something that will change over night, if at all. But it's something I know I'm consciously working on.

LONDON (LPC) - Three banks have lined up a €920m leveraged loan financing to back the acquisition of a majority stake in Spanish sports rights group Imagina, banking sources said.
Chinese private equity firm Orient Hontai Capital agreed to buy a majority stake in Imagina for US$1bn, Reuters reported in October 2017, the latest deal from deep-pocketed Chinese investors to transform the Asian country into a global soccer powerhouse.
Deutsche Bank, Citi and Goldman Sachs are leading the debt financing, which is being shown to a select group of institutional investors before launching for general syndication in a couple of weeks, the sources said.
The financing comprises an €860m term loan B and a €60m revolving credit facility, the sources said.
Orient was not immediately available to comment on the financing.
Orient Hontai entered into exclusive talks with Imagina's shareholders in May 2017, scooping a dozen other bidders, including French media group Vivendi, Chinese real estate and entertainment firm Dalian Wanda Group Co or US media company Liberty Media.
The deal was made at a multiple of 10 times 2016 Ebitda and valued the company at €1.6bn.
Imagina, usually just known as Mediapro after the name of one of its subsidiaries, has the rights to distribute the La Liga soccer championship, Europe's third-richest league.
Chinese investors have been snapping up sports and entertainment assets abroad.
The acquisitions range from Swiss sports marketing firm Infront Sports & Media AG to Italian sports media rights company MP & Silva or soccer clubs Inter Milan and AC Milan.

Frenchy is home...
I promise...She IS more attractive than she looks in this picture. :-). She was rather cranky today...not that I blame her, that is a long trip for any horse. But I got some insight into her personality right off the bat. LOL. Holy Hell...She IS her mother's daughter!! For a second, when I went to catch her and she pinned her ears and gave me a dirty look, I had a flashback to when this mare's mother was a youngster and displayed identical actions. LOL.
I am really excited to receive this mare in such a nice, trim condition. I was expecting a much heavier, older-looking mare. This changes my game plan significantly. Originally, I had thought that I would just let Frenchy set over the winter, foal out next summer and then start her back under saddle after weaning the foal. Since she is already in good shape and not sporting a sagging baby belly, I'm going to go ahead and start working on getting her back under saddle now and ride her through the winter. That will put me a full year ahead of my 'game plan'...which is to see what this mare can do on a barrel pattern. :-). She needs some handling anyway...by all rights, she far exceeds any expectations I usually have about ranch broodmares. As a rule, no one in that area handles their broodmares, usually you're lucky is they are halterbroke, but this mare leads, ties, loaded in the trailer without hesitation and hauled nicely. She does need a refresher course in facing up to be caught and foot handling. It shouldn't take a lot of work to bring her back though, after all, she was rode as a 2-3 year old and Brian said they had just started to rope on her when she dinged her hock and was pulled from the sale that year.
Although her feet are in much better shape than most of the broodmares that come out of that country, she definitely needs them worked on. She's pretty clubby her right front and both hinds. Not so much on her left front. I'm going with it's nothing more than wear pattern and won't be a problem when I can start trimming her regularly and get those heels down.
I got a good, up close look at the stud that Frenchy is bred to and am now, even more excited about the foal than I was before. CS Flashlight is just incredible. I have already received 3 offers to buy this foal from various people...LOL. Not happening!!! But I guess people questioning why I am taking Frenchy out of the broodmare pen and testing her skills as a barrel horse are understandable. If people are offering to buy her unborn foal, she obviously have value as a broodmare...and I do have every intention of raising a few more babies out of her. But I also bought her to ride. I'd like to see what she can do herself. Brian Fulton said this mare's sire (Frenchman's Bullet) was in his opinion, one of the nicest, if not THE nicest stallion Frenchman's Guy has ever sired. That is saying a lot because Brian has been up close and personal with A LOT of the Frenchman's Guy horses and he wouldn't say that idly. *I* don't have any personal experience with the Frenchman's Guy horses, although a fair number of the girls I run against locally have them and love them. So I'd like to get a feel for what that brings to the mix. I already know that the dam's side of Frenchy is and can do. I got the distinct feeling that Brian was really disappointed that his son sold Frenchy. Brian seems to think that this foal, out of Frenchy and by his CS Flashlight stallion is going to be an exceptional mix.
Now that all of the family drama is permanently quelled...It's time to get to work building my own program. :-)

That is an awesome booty on that mare.

I'm NOT one of the people wondering why you're putting her back under saddle! Heck, I know a few people that have broodmares that are also performance horses... and with one like this it's pretty obvious (to me) that a person would like to see what she can do ;)

I think its great you wanna see what she can do, she is only 8 fter all (i think thats what you said anyways, lol) Awesome you get to start this fall with game plan too and be ahead of schedule. I think a lot of mares specially ranch mares were never handled in our area too, but even here I notice that is changing a lot and I even see some people riding mares which sure has changed since a few years ago!

Cant wait to see how this mare rides. I am getting Abby home this month (she was dead broke as a 5 year old but has been off for 5 years). I am hoping both these "broodies" will enjoy going back to work!

GFDO (pronuounced gilf-do) July 27, 2007Posted by Darin Persinger in Coaching, Creative, idea.
add a comment
A GFDO is a Guilt-Free Day Off.
A GFDO is sometimes unexpected, middle of the week, not planned, unscheduled day off. We came up with a GFDO at Edyn Real Estate because of the "O" in our WISCO culture.
Open Enviroment-We focus on what and how we do, not when and where we do. We understand that with the talented, creative and driven people Edyn will draw as its partners in business, they will function at their highest level without restraints. We know this because this is how we operate at OUR best. Execution is our key and focus. The method is up to you. Edyn supports, empowers and embraces their partners to perform to their strengths.
I never use to take a day off. A guilt free day off… fahget about it! I have learned that over working, only leads to burnout, non-creativity, stress, and slower production.
This last week, my EDYN partner and I took a GFDO. I did get up at six though and work around my house and in the business for about four hours. But by 10:00 am I was finished and we headed to the lake to do some wakeboarding. My partner was able to spend time with her brother and I was able to spend time with my nephew, so it was also a family day. Later that evening we cookedout with our friends, who had just been married and returned from their honeymoon and heard wonderful stories about their trip.
I enjoyed every minute of my GFDO, because I was 100% in each moment and not wondering about something else.
Take a day off. Take a Guilt-Free Day Off.
Referral and Repeat Marketing July 14, 2007Posted by Darin Persinger in Books, Coaching, Contacting Your Sphere, Education, Info, Marketing, Real Estate, Sales.
1 comment so far
This week I attended a training course by Phil Hollander of Morris Real Estate Marketing Group. Phil wrote a book called Referral & Repeat Marketing.
Phil had sent me a this book a few months ago and it blew my mind. Many of the systems that I have implemented at EDYN Real Estate are based from this book. Even though the book covers many topics and sources of business, Phil's talk was focused on just your A List people. Here some of my notes from the class
Phil Hollander defined A List people into 3 groups:
- Past clients
- Referral Sources a)Business Circle ex.lenders, lawyers, inspectors b)Personal Circle ex. friends, relatives, past co-workers
- Hot prospect-buying or selling in 3-6 months
Who goes into your A-list Database? Ask yourself this question,
Does this person have the ability and desire to A) refer me business and/or B) repeat business with me
Past Clients are your number one source of business
Two reasons why people will use you or refer you,
- They like you.
- They think you have knowledge and expertise.
In my blog post Contacting Your Sphere Part 4, I wrote about how agents market and present themselves,
Have you ever received a postcard from a chef in the mail on how to sell a home?
I'm not a betting man, but I bet not.
Have you ever received a postcard from Peyton Manning on when the next neighborhood open house will be?
Probably not. That's just silly.
But I have received recipe postcards from real estate agents. What do real estate agents know about a Salsa Chicken Black Bean Casserole? Why would you want the consumer to even think you do?
I have received football schedules from real estate agents also. Why do we do this?
Do sending football schedules and recipes make us look like a real estate expert and knowledgeable professional to our A-list people?

Being Your Best Is Not Good Enough July 9, 2007Posted by Darin Persinger in Coaching, idea, Info, Real Estate, Sales.

When 100% Is Not Enough
If I golfed against Tiger Woods and gave 100%, how do you think I would do? What if he only gave 80% or 75%? Tiger Woods would probably have to be at 30% or less and I would have to be at 100% for me to ever beat him in a heads up golf match. He is justly simply more talented and better skilled than me.
"Give 100%"
Coaches say it. Managers say it. Parents say it. "Give 100%"
They could not be more wrong. The anthem should be "Improve yourself." At every opportunity, at every game, at every presentation, at every situation. Improve yourself!
What would happen if you improved your knowledge or skill level in your profession or industry just 1% every day? How much would you have improved at the end of a week? At the end of a month? At the end of a year?
Being your best is not good enough until you are your best. Keep improving!

The US ECONOMY DIDN'T CRASH…IT MOVED! GO GLOBAL!
Many would love to have people continue to believe that 'The American Recession' was real. Facts show that it wasn't a recession at all, it just mattered who you asked. While millions, and millions of people did loose their jobs, their homes and were forced on unemployment and welfare assistance, 'the rich' in America got even richer.
For every American job 'lost' there were up to 10 jobs created abroad. If, you're still unemployed in America, perhaps you should start applying to American companies abroad -the Philippines has had over 10 million new jobs created in the past decade. They've surpassed India in BPO; and the world in terms of English-speaking people (outside of the West of course).
If you thought those AT&T, SPRINT and Shopping Mall Retail jobs were gone, you were right. Outsourced.
Companies like Mc Donald's, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Coca Cola, Pepsi Cola, Colgate Palmolive, Cargill, American Power Conversion, Shell, Chevron, Philip Morris, Nestle, Western Union, Krispy Kreme Donuts, FUBU International, Levi's, VANS and Citi Bank have found gold in the East.
The Philippines is America's little secret. There, $1 can equal as much as P50. As the countries largest investor, American investors have found new opportunities, new consumers, a dedicated workforce and an emerging consumer market for everything which was thought lost, obsolete or even defunct in the US. From POS Systems, to Answering Services, Fashion and Fast Food Restaurants.
American-quality products and services are still top-tier abroad and most industries use the US pricing as a peg. Though Chinese-made products tend to saturate the market place, especially in America, due to their cheap-prices, savvy and gainfully-employed consumers are willing to pay up to 4-times more for American, original or 'branded' products when sold 'outside' the United States.
Simply said, a $1 Mc Donald's burger will cost you around $2 in the Philippines -and no free-drink re-fills, a $30 pair of VANS tennis shoes in California, cost $100 in Manila, the 99 Cents or Dollar Store is the $2 Store, a $15,000 Ford SUV will cost around P1 Million ones its hits the showroom in Makati.
Real Estate is also booming. As states such as California have put caps on new-construction, Moguls such as Donald Trump and Paris Hilton, have sold out twin tower developments -before they finished construction. Zuckerberg, has made an alliance with Philippines data providers and offer free-Facebook to everyone. A blackberry can cost over $1,000, A Dell Laptop can break you for more than $2,000, and the list goes on and on.
As the American public at-large catches on; Europe, Australia, China, Japan, India and Korean have all been in the Philippines longer than they have, more people, both working-class and investors are searching for ways to tap into the Philippines -or American growth in the Philippines.
Earlier American propaganda criticized 'outsourcing' and 'down-sizing' for small and mid-sized business; who are the largest employers of American workers -not the big corporations. While those same big corporations received tax breaks for outsourcing.
However, now, the small business owner, professional and even sole proprietors in America can outsource and even gain foreign clients. Another opportunity is for retirees who are looking to maximize their lifestyle on a fixed-income. As well as, those who do not earn enough retirement income to live in the US without being considered poor. Living either full-time or part-time in the Philippines is a smart move. Currently, there are over 500,000 Americans living -many as millionaires- in the Philippines right now, carving their own market niche.
New Philippines Lifestyle Experts such as American publisher, serial entrepreneur and show host Kareem Jackson, are blazing a trail for new settlers, investors and those looking to grow in the country. Specializing in the new flurry of private, small to mid-level investors and those seeking a lifestyle change. KA&CO (www.KareemAntonio.com) his US marketing, international business development and publishing consulting conglomerate helps Americans and other foreigners achieve their dreams of 'The Simple Life' abroad. From simple dating advice, to real estate purchase for first-timers, small business development, events, product launches and networking he is able to save his clients time, money and the frustration a new life can bring.
As well as helping local PH-entrepreneurs, businesses and product producers import Western-style service and to market to the American and global markets. The Philippines economy is expected to double-again- over the next decade. Foreign investors are encouraged to take advantage of the opportunities which are emerging everyday. 2016 is Visit The Philippines Year, the PH Government, Department of Tourism and lifestyle experts such as Jackson have issued open invitations and special travel promotions.

It's been announced the other day that Kanazawa Tomoko has been diagnosed with Endometriosis. Official statement from Hello! Project's site and translation by 910 percent's Facebook page.
Announcement regarding Kanazawa Tomoko
Thanks for cheering for Juice=Juice as always.
We have an announcement about Kanazwa Tomoko
She went to a doctor some times and has consulted doctors since last year.
Her condition was diagnosed as Endometriosis. Now she has started taking the medicines under the guidance of a doctor.
The reason of the disease is still medically unknown.
It has increased in young women these days.
10 percent of 10-40 age women is suffering from the disease.
Staff and Juice=Juice members will unite into one and support Kanazawa from now.
However, There are individual differences in the symptoms and pains
Now, owing to the medicine, she is suffering from sudden headache, vertigo, nausea.
Her activities will depend on her body condition.
We are worried that her symptoms may change suddenly.
We ask for your kind understanding and cooperation.
We are sorry to have caused you anxiety.
We'll work hard.
Please cheer for her Juice=Juice and Kanazawa Tomoko from now on too.
It's quite sad to see a Hello! Pro member to be diagnosed with something that can be quite painful. Last year I personally suffered from really bad pelvic pains, my doctor hasn't diagnosed with me with anything yet, but one of the conditions that could be causing them is Endometriosis, so I can really empathize with Tomoko right now.
All I can really do is hope Tomoko keeps working hard with Juice=Juice! I know how difficult it could be just to walk around the house so I hope she continues to take her medicine and that her symptoms ceases as time goes by.
I'll definitely be sending lots of love to her!
Let's continue to support Tomoko in her time of need!
Bye bye!

text: Soup is one of the easiest ways to prepare seafood—shrimp, squid, clams and mussels all simmer together in a flavorful broth, perfect for any time of year. One of our favorite seafood soups is a creamy coconut version packed with Thai flavors. Shrimp and scallops take just minutes to cook, so this soup comes together in a matter of minutes. Green curry paste, coconut milk and lots of fresh herbs transform a few key ingredients into a super flavorful, fragrant meal. Another F&W favorite is Daniel Boulud's recipe for Brazilian-inspired moqueca, a seafood soup he makes with shrimp, mahimahi and squid. He marinates the fish in ginger and garlic, and makes shrimp stock with tomatoes, cilantro and hearts of palm. Get these recipes and more from F&W's guide to seafood soup.

Oh Durban, where have you been my whole World Cup?
I never made it to Cape Town (the San Francisco of Africa) or Nelspruit (the remote city on the edge of Kruger National Park). I spent too many days in bustling Johannesburg and too many hours on the road to and from Rustenburg.
Written by Steven Goff, The Washington Post
I never made it to Cape Town (the San Francisco of Africa) or Nelspruit (the remote city on the edge of Kruger National Park). I spent too many days in bustling Johannesburg and too many hours on the road to and from Rustenburg.
And now with the World Cup winding down, with four teams and four matches remaining and my departure a week away, I have discovered what is surely South Africa's most appealing venue: Durban. It's Miami Beach with a world-class stadium a few hundred yards from the Indian Ocean. It's surfers and sandcastle artists, beach soccer and beach cricket, art deco hotels, a casino, seaside Indian restaurants, soft winter breezes and temperatures in the 70s.
Beach Festival offers carnival rides, jugglers, artisans, surf lessons, an official FIFA Fan Fest viewing area and seven piers -- essentially, a boardwalk scene without the boardwalk. Or fried dough.
Cargo ships the size of El Salvador interrupt the horizon on their way to Durban Harbor, the busiest in Africa. Hotels and apartment buildings line Marine Parade, the beach road.
Like any resort stretch, there are upscale blocks and downscale sections. You'll find me in the dumpy high-rise with 1970s-era, brown-spotted design curtains and an air conditioner lodged into the wall on the alley side of the building. (Steps from the sand, what do you expect for $110?)
The crowds strolling the promenade are a mix of white, black and Indian. There are local families, pasty World Cup fans, street performers, fast-talking hustlers ("official" Adidas sunglasses for 50 rand -- $6.50? Sold!), aggressive beggars, gossiping teenagers, and a heavy police and security presence.
A 15-minute stroll north brings you to Suncoast Beach, where colorful rickshaws and their entertaining owners await customers. It's a service dating from the early 20th century. Behind a casino/mall/multiplex theater stands seven-month-old Moses Mabhiba Stadium, site of seven World Cup matches, including Wednesday's semifinal between Spain and Germany. It's a gorgeous sight. (For $450 million, it better be.)
From the beach, a wide walkway passes under the M4 road and surfaces across from the east entrance at Masabalala Yengwa Avenue. The arch above the field, 344 feet high at its peak, is accessible by funicular. (For security reasons, it is closed during the World Cup.)
For many fans, buses and taxis are not necessary. Unlike Soccer City Stadium, stuck in a dirt/dust bowl in an industrial area near Soweto, or Ellis Park, in a gritty downtown Joburg neighborhood, the Durban facility is within walking distance of hotels, cafes and bars. For many others, a train station provides service just beyond the northwest gates.
Next to 62,760-seat Moses Mabhiba is 52,500-seat Absa Stadium, home to the Natal Sharks rugby club and a venue during the 1995 Rugby World Cup. The Shark Cage team shop rivals any American merchandise store.
I've got three more nights in Durban before returning to Jozi for the final weekend. It's not going to be enough time.

These days, they aren't always as up-and-down as the lines on a banker's suit; placed horizontally, they expand a room's horizons. Here, nine examples of striped wallpaper to fall for—hook, line, and sinker.

There are two points of view from which to look at medical economics, that of the profession and that of the public. The standpoint of the members of the medical profession has been consistently occupying the pages of state and other medical journals for years. The complaints and arguments of the doctors have been reiterated until you are familar with them. The public has had its hearing in many popular magazines and weeklies and in the newspapers.

John's dream was really like taking a trip back in time and re-experience an old past time. For most of us John's past is a dream. In 1945 John was invited to training camp for the Pirates Minor league team the Hornell Pirates and played professional baseball. John also was a practice pitcher the Major League Pirates.

Not only did John get to see a game in person and visit the park, John had the wonderful opportunity to meet Pirates Manager Clint Hurdle and reminisce about America's and John's favorite past-time, baseball.

This is particularly True for people who have reached the later stages or life or are physically or medically dependent, they require constant supervision or support., At don't stop dreaming we fulfill these dreams large and small for our residents so they may experience the joys of everyday life at their fullest.

There are 4 varieties of this spice; out of which two are the most popular ones, Ceylon
cinnamon and Cassia cinnamon. Ceylon cinnamon is also known as true cinnamon; it has a sweet taste and is more expensive than Cassia cinnamon. You can find them in specialty stores. Its quills are soft enough to be grounded for coffee.
It is believed that in ancient times cinnamon was more expensive than gold
cinnamon mostly found in North American supermarkets is Cassia cinnamon and is relatively cheap. It is dark in color and its quills are hard. It has been traditionally used in Chinese medicine and in Indian Ayurvedic medicines. Let's find out why is
it known as a natural medicine?
Cure for diabetesResearch has proved that cinnamon is beneficial for curing Type 2 Diabetes. The evidence was first revealed in the journal, "Diabetes Care" in the year 2003.
study was conducted by US department of Agriculture, on 60 participants from Pakistan with type 2 Diabetes. Each participant was given 1 mg of cinnamon for 40 days. It was evident from the research that the blood sugar level, triglycerides and LDL cholesterol
was significantly reduced. The beneficial after effects of the cinnamon persisted for 20 days even after stopping its use.
However it is highly recommended that patients taking prescribed medicines for cholesterol should not substitute them with cinnamon
Antibacterial and Antifungal PropertiesPreliminary lab research and animal studies helped to find the antifungal and antibacterial properties of Cinnamon. This amazing spice helps to fight Candid albicans, a fungus
that is known to cause yeast infection. The bacteria called Helicobacter pylori, is also curable with the help of cinnamon, responsible for causing stomach ulcers.
Some doctors claim that memory and performance of certain mental tasks can be improved just by smelling cinnamon
Cinnamon as an anti-inflammatory spiceToday
the growing problem is increased intake of processed, fatty and fried foods that cause inflammation of internal organs and tissues, and further cause heart diseases. In a book called "Natural
Health, Natural Medicine", Andrew Weil claims
cinnamon to be beneficial for decreasing inflammation of the artery walls that causes atherosclerosis and other heart diseases.
Rich source of Minerals and Dietary fibers
Cures ConstipationThe dietary fibers found in cinnamon have also been found helpful in curing IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) and constipation.
Improves MemoryQuiet unbelievable, but true! Some doctors claim that memory and performance of certain
mental tasks can be improved just by smelling cinnamon. It is also beneficial in curing Alzheimer's disease. Migraine and headaches can also be relieved with the use of cinnamon.
Cures CoughCinnamon has been used in Chinese
medicine for a long time. It is a natural remedy for common cold and coughs. You can treat your sore throat by drinking a cup of cinnamon tea. Take a cup of water and add a cinnamon stick to it, bring it to a boil and remove the stick. Use this tea twice a
day you will feel better within 3 days; otherwise consult a doctor.
For cough take a teaspoon of warm honey with a pinch of cinnamon powder in it. It will cure your cough in a few days.
Relieves ToothacheAn easy home remedy
for toothache lies in cinnamon. Make a paste of 5 teaspoon honey with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder and apply it to your aching teeth 2 to 3 times in a day. You can store this paste at room temperature in a container.
How can you use cinnamon?Cinnamon can be added to a number of foods and cereals in powdered form. A small stick can be added to give flavor to the soups. Even an herbal tea made out of cinnamon can be taken once a day.
Cinnamon is also available in the form of capsules which
helps in its consumption process.
Risks of taking CinnamonJust like most of the medicines, cinnamons have side effects too.
Taking too much of cinnamon can cause soar mouth and lips. Some people might
develop allergic reactions to it. Cassia cinnamon can prove to be toxic especially for people having liver problems. Patients having cancer that is affected by change in hormone levels such as breast cancer should avoid taking cinnamon.
has blood thinning properties. Therefore it is important for you to consult your doctor before taking cinnamon supplements with other medicines.

Literally hundreds of thousands of surgical procedures are performed every day across the United States. Thanks to skilled surgeons, advanced technology and stringent regulations, the vast majority of surgeries in America are successful and allow patients to have healthier, pain-free lives. However, with any medical procedure, there is always risk involved. Surgical errors happen more than most Delaware residents realize. Mistakes made during surgeries are responsible for thousands of deaths and injuries every year.
Car accidents: Driver faces charges after crash with motorcycle
Motorcycles are a popular form of transportation in Delaware. They are smaller, take up less space and are more fuel efficient than passenger vehicles. However, due to their small size, motorcycles can be difficult for other motorists to spot, especially during low light conditions. Visibility issues are primary contributing factors in car accidents involving motorcycles. Tragically, these type of accidents often end in serious injury or death.
Distracted driving causing more car accidents than ever before
Being involved in a crash is an event that no person wants to face. Unfortunately, car accidents are one of the leading causes of death and injury in the United States. In Delaware especially, roads are more crowded than ever, so drivers who navigate these crowded roads need to stay focused at all times behind the wheel. However, statistics are showing that Delaware drivers these days are paying less attention to the road and more attention to cell phones and other gadgets.
3 of the most common birth injuries you should know
Having a baby is one of the most common reasons women seek medical treatment. A healthy pregnancy, however, does not always equal a healthy baby. There are times when things may not go as planned during childbirth, and your baby may suffer. What are some of the most common birth injuries?
Car accidents: Crash results in multiple injuries
Accidents often happen when least expected. When drivers get behind the wheel, the last thing they expect is to be involved in a serious accident. However, statistics say that almost every driver will be involved in an accident at some point in his or her life. Car accidents have become almost inevitable on crowded Delaware roads. A recent three-vehicle crash near Dagsboro resulted in multiple injuries.
Alleged surgical errors may have ended NFL player's career
Surgeries are delicate procedures that require constant focus and attention by doctors and nurses. Any deviation from the standard of care can result in catastrophic consequences for the patient. Thousands of injuries and deaths happen each year in Delaware and across the country due to surgical errors. Sharrif Floyd, a former NFL defensive lineman recently filed a lawsuit against a surgeon over claims that negligence during surgery ended his football career.
Car accidents happening more and more on crowded Delaware roads
When compared to the rest of the country, Delaware is a relatively small state. Although small in size, the state is densely populated. Roadways here experience extremely high traffic volumes resulting in constant congestion. Safely operating a motor vehicle on these crowded roads takes constant focus and attention. Unfortunately, not all drivers these days are cautious behind the wheel, which often leads to car accidents.
Surgical errors can have devastating effects on patients
Mistakes and errors during medical care are not uncommon. Unfortunately, any error during a surgical procedure will be magnified, with the patient potentially suffering disastrous consequences. Delaware is home to some of the most highly-trained and skilled surgeons in the country, but no amount of training or education can totally prevent surgical errors from happening.

Analysis of Short and Long Term Deformations in a Continuous Precast Prestressed Concrete Girder
MetadataShow full item record
A precast prestressed concrete girder using in-span splices to extend the span length is constructed to investigate performance under service and ultimate load conditions. Continuity is provided through the splices by a combination of mild steel reinforcement plus post-tensioned prestress. The thesis focuses on the study of short and long term deformations in the test specimen between the time the pretensioned prestressed segments were first cast, through splicing, deck construction and curing, and then initial testing. To support these observations, three creep frames are set up and shrinkage readings are taken. Previous research is reviewed to determine what models should be used for the analysis of the experimental results. A time-dependent Matlab program based on AAASHTO recommendations is developed to predict the prestress losses due to the short and long-term deformations. Experimental observations from the test specimen are compared to those predictions. The predictions by most models available for assessing long-term deformations due to creep and shrinkage are overestimated when compared to the experimental observations. Unreliable predictions of prestress losses due to long-term deformations may have significant repercussions on a long-span structure; an over-estimation may lead to a design being too conservative, while an under-estimation may lead to cracking and thereby excessive deflections under service loading. It appears that the over-estimation is, in part, due to the girder units being constructed with self-consolidating concrete (SCC). It is concluded that improved estimates of deformations for such structures composed of SCC girders can be achieved if a correction factor of 0.6 is applied to the AASHTO recommendations.

Travel in between these cities by extremely handy train rides which let you an opportunity to observe the beautiful country side. In fact, some of the best cities in Eastern Europe such as Prague and Krakow are no longer fairly the bargain they when were.

For most seasoned travelers, the ideal time to see Europe is from April to June and September to October when the climate is nonetheless warm, the vacation crowds have left and accommodation and transport are often priced. And for nature lovers, Europe delivers a staggering assortment of wide-open spaces: from the fjords of Norway to the volcanoes and geysers of Iceland, the majestic panoramas of the Pyrénées and the Alps, and the striking wilderness of Corsica.

Top Fashion Trends that Rocked in 2012 and Will Dominate 2013
With each New Year that comes there is an array of new fashion trends in women's clothing which come on the scene. Nevertheless, there are also trends which continue; they grow in popularity and stand the test of time during the transition period from one year to another. 2012 was certainly a big year in fashion, and there are some key trends which are going to carry on from last year anddominate the fashion world in 2013. So, which trends can you continue to rock this year?
Tribal fashion dominated women's clothing throughout 2012 and this is a trend which is set to continue this year. However, tribal trendswill evolve into something which is more contemporary and modern – a quirky take on tribal if you like. Throughout 2012 this trend was something which was very ethnic and utilised earthy colours, such as brown and rustic reds. However, in 2013 this trend will become more experimental; utilising neon colours, pastel colours and diamantes in order to give a quirky and modern edge.
Peplum style tops and dresses give an added dimension to a look and are great for a high fashion effect. A lot of people think that this is a style which is only suited to skinny frames, but that could not be further from the truth. Peplum clothing is extremely flattering and is great for extenuating your curves.
The military style is something which constantly comes in and out of fashion, and thus is unlikely to ever be viewed as outdated. This trend is great for those who want to give off a confident and dominate edge. There are some fantastic military jackets which look great with a pair of skinny jeans, a slick of red lipstick and your hair worn up in a high bun. This is a great way to give a smart edge to a casual look as well.
The colour blue is something which sprang to the front of fashion towards the end of 2012. The great thing about the colour blue is that there is a huge selection of different shades and thus there is something to suit all hair colours, all eye colours and all skin tones. Pastel blues look beautiful for the spring time, especially those which have a slight green tinge to them. Navy is a great colour for formal occasions. And, cobalt blue is a great choice when adding a bit of excitement and energy to your outfit.
The most of the clothes that are manufactures and is expected to be manufactured will be of rich in texture and classy in designs and materials. Pencil skirts, A line dresses or tailored trousers are expected to be rule the fashion domain in 2013 as well as it did in 2012. The manufacturing of metallic dresses is expected to boost up this year to meet the demand of the buyers.
The four trends mentioned in this article are assured to be some of the top looks in women's clothing for 2013. If you already have some of these styles in your wardrobe then you can use them again throughout this year. If not, then you can enhance your look and give that modern edge, by embracing the vibrant take on the tribal look for example.

Happy Labor Day in the U.S.! This will be super-quick, because we're getting ready to watch the Boise State Broncos take on Virginia Tech. I'm the only one in the house without official Bronco gear, so I found some orange felt in my stash and made a 3D flower to stitch on a blue shirt (strategically placed to cover a bleach spot). Blue & orange are not colors I usually wear together, lol.
The only stitches to show are on my blue sweater. I'm working on a cross-stitch project for GhostStitchers, so I won't be showing WIP on that obviously. I'll be working on the blue sweater during the game tonight, so that my hands will be covered in the appropriate color. 🙂
So, the sweater. I got it stitched together, and finished the waistband, and it was TOO BIG!! That never happens to me! I had to put darts in the back to compensate (see below). There won't be any sleeves for a while, but it's supposed to be long-sleeved.
Back, and a better shot of the waistband color scheme. My chair makes a lovely model, doesn't it?

The Karambit is often referred to as the world's deadliest knife for good reason. With one well placed swipe on a number of strike points the karambit can take down even the largest of attackers.
Another reason the karambit has claimed the title of deadliest knife is because it can be concealed so well. An attacker may never see it coming.
The karambit is a great choice as a weapon of self defense as you don't need to be exact when striking. Striking an attacker just about anywhere even in an area that is clothed can yield devastating results.
Origins Of The Karambit
The karambit is believed to have originated among the Minangkabau people of West Sumatra where, according to folklore, it was inspired by the claws of tiger.
As with most weapons of the region, it was originally an agricultural implement designed to rake roots, gather threshing and plant rice. As it was weaponized, the blade became more curved to maximize cutting potential.
Self Defense
The karambit is held with the blade pointing downward from the bottom of the fist, usually curving forwards however occasionally backwards.
While it is primarily used in a slashing or hooking motion, karambit with a finger ring are also used in a punching motion hitting the opponent with the finger ring.
Some karambit are designed to be used in a hammering motion. This flexibility of striking methods is what makes it so useful in self-defense situations.
The finger guard makes it difficult to disarm and allows the knife to be maneuvered in the fingers without losing one's grip.
The short Filipino karambit has found some favor in the West because such proponents allege the biomechanics of the weapon allow for more powerful cutting strokes and painful "ripping" wounds, and because its usability is hypothesized as more intuitive, though there continues to be debate about this matter.
Important Point
The Karambit is truly the deadliest knife in the hands of a skilled practitioner. Too many buy them and call it their EDC with almost zero training. If you decide to purchase a karambit make sure to train with it. We've included a helpful video below that will point you in the right direction.

Doctors at the Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital in Cape Town have performed groundbreaking surgery on a 4-year old girl.
Angelique Anna Schroder has become one of the youngest patients in South Africa to undergo a successful microvascular foot to hand transfer, which means that her toe is now a functioning digit on her hand.
Her father Dirk Schroder says they are relieved that the surgery went well, but every day is still a challenge.
There is still quite a long way to go, we gotta get the finger to function properly now so it is going to be another six months.— Dirk Schroder, Angelique's Father
He adds that the process started four years ago, and says when she was born where they got a big shock in their lives and didn't know what to do.
One of my dad's friends was a plastic surgeon in America and he contacted them and he got a hold of the red cross and Red Cross got hold of Cape Town. And we're not too sure of what was going to happen, we were new to this, we were very worried about what's going to happen and what the future was going to be like.— Dirk Schroder, Angelique's Father

The Benefits Of Physical Activity In Schools
Perhaps you are contemplating a profession in physical therapy. The role that PE can play as portion of the wider academic curriculum appears to be, at best understated, and at worst, entirely overlooked. Activities like the ones raised here could help to broaden the educational prospective of PE, encourage far more pupils to engage with the subject and strengthen the spot of PE as a unique and useful educational pursuit. The possibilities are there, but PE have to be ready to grasp them and let the pupils write about their sporting passions to reflect what they are mentioned to be understanding.
Mission: By way of selfless service, excellence, learning, and leadership the mission of the Physical Education program at Carson-Newman is to educate students to become ethical, knowledgeable, and revolutionary learners who will preserve a successful ministry inside the teaching and sports neighborhood in the 21st century.
Grow to be a certified K-12 physical education teacher and teach youths to be fit and active via physical activity and a wholesome life-style. Learn to improve the fitness and well being through games, sports and other physical activities while taking courses that blend classroom teaching and hands-on finding out.
Physical activity is bodily movement of any variety and may possibly consist of recreational, fitness and sport activities such as jumping rope, playing soccer, lifting weights, as well as day-to-day activities such as walking to the shop, taking the stairs or raking the leaves. Equivalent health rewards to those received during a physical education class are attainable during physical activity bouts when the participant is active at an intensity that increases heart rate and produces heavier than regular breathing. SHAPE America recommends implementing a Comprehensive College Physical Activity System (CSPAP) for students to accomplish at least 60 minutes and up to many hours of physical activity per day.
It really is so considerably less difficult to educate students for our past, than for their future. Schools are inherently conservative social systems, and as parents, we become anxious when our youngsters learn factors that we never understand – particularly when they no longer study items that were so critical for us. Teachers are a lot more comfy teaching how they had been taught, rather than how they were taught to teach. And politicians can shed an election more than education, but seldom win help over it, simply because it takes much far more than an election cycle to translate great intentions into far better outcomes.…

Android 4.2 Photo Sphere Feature is Basically a Way to Make 360 Degree Panoramas; Download it Here! (Video)
Android 4.2 brought not only a cool Quick Settings area that can be accessed with a two finger swipe, but also an improved Google Now and some other functions, like the Photo Sphere in the camera area. The feature was only demoed on the LG Nexus 4, the only Android 4.2 handset right now, but apparently you can get it too.
The unofficial APK for Android 4.2 Photo Sphere is available right here, only hours after the cool Android 4.2 keyboard leaked as well. Back to detailing Photo Sphere, this function allows you to stitch together pictures of your surrounding area till you create a 360 degree panorama. You probably know those cool detailed images that you get from inside a stadium before the soccer match, right? Well, now you can create them with your Android phone.
Similar 360 degree images were available in Bing Travel and usually on travel sites, so you see what you're visiting. Actually, this is basically the purpose of Photo Sphere: you travel and you want to show the folks at home a cool view of your surroundings. Details in the video below:

Littelfuse has acquired U.S. Sensor Corporation, a supplier of thermistors and probe assemblies used in temperature sensors, in its latest attempt to diversify beyond its core circuit protection business.
"U.S. Sensor expands our existing sensor portfolio in several key electronics and industrial end markets, including home automation, HVAC and appliances," said Deepak Nayar, senior vice president of Littelfuse's electronics business, in a statement. "The business has strong design capabilities that are complementary to our growth initiatives."
With the deal, the Chicago-based Littelfuse gains a wide array of negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistors as well as probes and assemblies. U.S. Sensor's other products include thin film platinum resistance temperature detectors, which are also known as RTD devices.
The terms of the deal were not disclosed.

The popular game "Fortnite" is attracting malware offering up bogus Android versions.
Gamers hungry for the Android version of the app – it's currently only available on mobile on iOS – are a prime target for bad actors, according to Hacker News.
They've become a big target, as "Fortnite" has grown. In less than a year, the survival game has grown to 125 million players, Epic Games said in a blog post in June. And players have been spending close to $300 million a month, according to the most recent data.
This has triggered a wave of searches, including tutorials on downloading Fortnite on Android, according to Hacker News.
"Due to the massive interest of users surrounding the Fortnite game, many gaming and tutorial websites have started taking advantage of Android users' impatience with frighteningly convincing scams, which is all over Google and YouTube as well," Hacker News said.
"Fortnite Battle Royale" is available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and the aforementioned iOS. The game will have an official Android release this summer.
Analysis shows active scams
People are unwittingly finding the bogus software via searches such as "How to install Fortnite on Android" or "Fortnite for Android" or stumbling across links in YouTube ads, according to a blog post by Malwarebytes Labs' analyst Nathan Collier.
For example, YouTube videos are already showing up with links to fake Android versions, Collier stated.
Malwarebytes spells out one typical scenario. A fake app, replete with a stolen "Fortnite" icon from the iOS version, takes you to a splash screen showing a legit-looking Epic Games logo and loading screen. After that, things "go sideways," according to Malwarebytes. "Unlock instructions" and "tap to install" screens appear but at that point you've hit a dead end.
"The bad news is that no matter how many apps you download, the game never unlocks—because it never existed within the malicious app in first place," Collier wrote.
Malwarebytes has set up a separate page called "Android/Trojan.FakeFortnite," the name given to the "clickbait trojan" for the Android platform that pretends to install "Fortnite."
The upshot is that malware actors make money – and that's not a good thing: more downloads from fake sites means more money for the bad guys.
"It's similar to false advertising," Collier told Fox News in an email. "The malware developers promise something they never intend to delivery, a working Fortnite for Android game. Even worse, they steal from the legitimate Apple iOS version to mislead users," he said.
Collier explains that it's not the threat of infection per se. "Malware like FakeFortnite are…in a 'grey' area. There may not be an actual malware/infection threat, but sending users down a rabbit hole like this were they are left empty handed is still considered malicious activity," he said.

The Winner's Curse
(The Winner's Trilogy #1)
Author: Marie Rutroski
Publisher: Bloomsbury Childrens Books
Published: July 3, 2014
Genre: Young Adult, Romance, Fantasy, Dystopia, Historical Fiction
My Rating:
Winning what you want may cost you everything you love.
As a general's daughter in a vast empire that revels in war and enslaves those it conquers, seventeen-year-old Kestrel has two choices: she can join the military or get married. But Kestrel has other intentions. One day, she is startled to find a kindred spirit in a young slave up for auction.
Arin's eyes seem to defy everything and everyone. Following her instinct, Kestrel buys him—with unexpected consequences. It's not long before she has to hide her growing love for Arin. But he, too, has a secret, and Kestrel quickly learns that the price she paid for a fellow human is much higher than she ever could have imagined.
Set in a richly imagined new world, The Winner's Curse by Marie Rutkoski is a story of deadly games where everything is at stake, and the gamble is whether you will keep your head or lose your heart.
There are books that despite the high ratings and the enormous hype will never work out for you. This book is an example. I tried so hard to like it, but doing it only made me feel like I'm forcing myself in a relationship where I'm not happy and there's no spark and magic (what an analogy *laughs).
I had a very hard time liking The Winner's Curse. I found the world-building too tame, vague, and poorly executed. The characters are also underdeveloped. The whole book lacks magic. No questions about the author's writing style. It was good, but it was not enough to make me spellbound.
The book was (I hate to say this) boring .
I also think that the slavery and forbidden love theme are not my liking. Sorry, I really tried but I guess there are other books that are much better for me. This one isn't one of those. The cover and the overall physicality of this book are spectacular though. And that, I think, is the good side of it. But I don't think I will read the next sequel. There are way too many books on my tbr list right now, so….

MUMBAI, India – India has a split personality. It is the Taj Mahal of outsourcing, the great global back office and one of the largest producers of engineering graduates. On the other hand, its law keepers are poignantly comic enforcers and interpreters of cyberlaws.
Cybersecurity expert Raghu Raman said in 2004, police squads were known to confiscate evidence from some offices, returning with monitors and leaving computers behind. Computing teacher Vijay Mukhi said two years ago cops in Mumbai seized pirated software floppies and stapled them together as though they were documents, destroying the material.
A sleuth from Mumbai's high-profile Cyber Crime Investigation Cell once told Wired News how he planned to tackle hacking: "Let hackers know that some tough people are out here.... I have killed Naxalites (regional terrorists who wage guerrilla warfare against police in some Indian states) in Andhra Pradesh (a state).... We cops have seen such tough situations that we know how to handle boys."
Last month, another incident occurred. Avnish Bajaj, an American citizen of Indian origin who heads Baazee, a wholly owned subsidiary of eBay, was arrested on charges of sale and distribution of pornography. An engineering student had posted a listing on the portal to sell an e-mail with a video attachment of a sexual act involving a schoolgirl. Bajaj began to help the Delhi police, and even assisted in nabbing the boy who had posted the listing. On Dec. 17, Bajaj himself was arrested.
Bajaj's lawyers applied for bail equipped with a printout of the portal's terms and conditions, which included users of Baazee vouching that their items were legal. The engineering student had accepted the terms and conditions by pressing the Accept button. But the court rejected the bail application, according to an executive of the portal, "stating that since there was no ink-based signature, it is void." (Bajaj has subsequently been released on bail).
Mahesh Murthy, a technology investor, is shocked by the court's attitude. "That means, according to the court, all of India's e-commerce is illegal. The Information Technology Act that many industry people worked to put together, so that this country could be competent in the modern world, clearly validates electronic signature. But the court was not aware of it."
Murthy himself has been a victim in the past. When he wanted to register a firm called Pinstorm Online last year, the Registrar of Companies "refused to grant me the name because the government officials out there did not comprehend the word 'online,'" Murthy said. "I had to change the name to Pinstorm Technologies. And, in my detailed application in which I described my company, I had to change the word 'internet' to 'computer network' because the officials did not think (the) internet was a credible medium for business. They told me that."
In July 2001, Mumbai's Cyber Crime Investigation Cell launched its website, and a few days later it was hacked by 23-year-old Anand Khare, who guessed passwords and used readily available hacking tools. He pasted abusive messages about the cops, and invited them to catch him.
He was nabbed, along with Mahesh Mhatre, who owned the cybercafé where Khare had executed the hacking. It was a triumph for the Cyber Crime Investigation Cell after the public embarrassment of having its own website defaced. The cops held a meeting of businessmen to reassure them. A corporate executive who was present recalls a senior cop gnashing his teeth and declaring, "If there is a cybercrime committed in your office, just let us know. We will find him and get the confession out of him."
Soon after his arrest, Mhatre told the media and the National Human Rights Commission that he was hit with belts and that a senior inspector asked him to lick his shoes. Following these allegations – odd even by Indian standards – Mumbai police announced they were searching for jobs for the boys. Khare was even placed in the firm of Mahatma Gandhi's great grandson Tushar Gandhi.
Last month, a Mumbai tabloid wanted to demonstrate that the average Indian cop lived in a world far removed from everyday technology. It asked a constable to use his ATM card and photographed his every step. He did not know how to use the card and the machine swallowed it. He was left smiling sheepishly in the final frame.
"The cop who checks your car license does not own a car," said Raghu Raman, who heads an information security firm called Mahindra Special Services Group. "The passport official who checks your passport does not go abroad. The cop to whom you go to register a credit card misuse does not own a credit card. If a cop is in no position to own a computer, how can he fight cybercrime? The field cop (and) the beat constable live in another world."

I recently reported on two big wins within weeks of each other at two of Opera Bingo's three Cumbria clubs. When this happened before, it was followed by another win at their third club, well, they do say good things come in threes.
But this time, their Carlisle club didn't follow suit, in fact there has been another big win at their Whitehaven club, this time £28,000. We don't know how their attendances are doing, but we're guessing that news of wins like this is certainly going to help fill the clubs up.
It does make you wonder about chance, and what luck really is. A strange concept to get your head around is the fact that the lottery is just as likely to come out at 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 as it is any other combination. The reason for this is that the balls are randomly picked, so unless there is some physical aspect, for example differing weight on balls, each ball has as much chance as another of being picked.
The lottery have their own statistics for most common numbers, and 'overdue' numbers, but to play by choosing those numbers will not in theory put you in any stronger chance of winning, because the balls don't know if they are common, or overdue, they are simply random. In fact, in theory it could come up as 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 every week, although that is obviously very unlikely.
Some people don't believe in luck, they will tell that you "make your own luck", which in some areas of life may be true, although there's three lucky players at Opera Bingo's clubs that would probably disagree. Original news story.
