Knowing the best foods to buy in bulk will save you money the next time you're shopping at a big-box store. After all, food can get expensive when you're trying to feed a family.
While the cost of buying items in bulk may sting a bit compared to what you normally spend at the grocery store, bulk-buying still has many benefits. You should only bulk-buy foods you know your family is going to use, otherwise you run the risk of spending money on items you don't need and won't use. If you follow this rule, you save money in the long run and avoid having to make future trips to the store to shell out on the same item.
Another benefit of bulk-buying is that you create a stockpile of foods in case of an emergency. You can't predict that a month from now there will be a natural disaster that requires you to stay indoors, which is why having a supply of non-perishables your family can survive on is crucial.
One thing to consider when shopping at wholesale stores is that you should be buying things with relatively long shelf lives. This way, your food doesn't spoil before you even get to use it. To prevent premature spoilage and save yourself money, we recommend investing in glass storage, as these air-tight containers do a great job of keeping your foods fresh.
If you're ready to save money, keep scrolling for a list of the best foods to buy in bulk.

The first quarter started rather erratically with both teams passing the ball too hastily and giving away possession all too often. Russell House settled into their game more quickly than Granville, yet we held off some strong attacking play to end with both teams having scored one goal each.
The second quarter saw Granville settle and they began to play with greater flow and more accuracy in their passing. Both teams had plenty of opportunity to score, however we were strong in defence forcing Russell House to miss some good shooting opportunities. The quarter ended with Russell House just edging ahead by three goals to Granville's two.
Granville began the third quarter with a sense of increased urgency and we really lifted our game to play some good quality netball. The ball was passed with greater efficiency up the court and we were able to get the ball into our attacking area where our shooters were on form and four excellent goals were scored in quick succession. The score now levelled at six goals each.
With everything to play for, the final quarter was played with heightened tension. Both teams had opportunities and both were equal in their quality of play. The game could easily have gone either way however, Russell House held their nerve to score two additional goals in the last few minutes of the game.
Overall, a really closely contested game.
Final Score… Russell House 8 Granville 6
Both teams took to the court with enthusiasm, and from the start, Granville fought for every ball and intercepted well. Louisa and Scarlett were all over the centre area, and passed the ball nicely to get the ball to our shooters. Emma H scored a lovely goal to put us in the lead. Heather worked hard in the attacking end, and fed some good balls in to the shooter. We had lots of tries at scoring in the middle part of the match, and finally, another shot from Emma H went in to extend our lead by 2 goals to nil at half time.
Russell House put more pressure on us following their half time talk. Lucy and Ava had more to do, but worked hard to make it difficult for the opposition to get near to their post. Charlotte P and Anika also had plenty to do in various positions, and good passing led to Emma being able to score another goal in the final quarter. Well done team on a good win.
Final Score… Granville 3 Russell House 0

Retro Renovation readers continue to discover amazing retro wonderfulness daily, golly I can hardly keep up with your email tips. But keep them coming! Snaps today go to Helen, who sent me this tip on this amazing vintage sofa sectional on craigslist in British Columbia. [link long gone.] Oh my: A 1940s or 1950s style sectional with original upholstery, big as a Studebaker … moreover, lookie the hideaway spaghetti lamps –>
… plus, there's a hideaway storage in the center, and note how ottomans kind of click in and click out — revealing side tables — when you want to use them. This thing is a triumph of human engineering. Or something.
I immediately contacted the seller, who gave me permission to feature these photos, told me that she is a regular reader of the blog and provided a bit more historical information: "The manufacturer of the sofa is a an old Canadian company – Newport Chesterfield Company of Toronto."
Goes in "woddity" category. Thank you, Helen!
This is GORGEOUS. Okay y'all… check out this sectional that I got today at an estate sale for (get this… brace yourselves) TWENTY-FIVE bucks! I'm still reeling! http://www.shawnanigans.net/2012/07/28/bargain-vapors/
I'm currently getting one of these delights re-upholstered!!! Mine does NOT have the lamps, but it has the bar and the circular footstools! I got mine from my grandfather's basement. I'm so excited!!!
My aunt had this sofa in royal purple. As a kid I used to love playing with all of the "features". I can still remember the texture of the fabric (same as photo) and using my finger to trace the stitching on the diamond back – the tufting was very deep and the edges surprisingly rigid. A truly awesome piece of art.
I worked in the office of Newport Chesterfield back in the early 70s. Leo Goldstein was the owner & creator. His craftmanship and attention to detail & quality was second to none. An artist in his own right along with an amazing group of skilled workers. I was always amazed and delighted to see the newest chesterfield model make its debut into the showroom. Always unique and often ahead of its time.
Not sure if anyone is still interested in this set.
I'm located in South-Western Ontario, Canada
I have an exact set with pop-up lamps and lazy suzy in my basement that I'm currently looking to find a good home for.
Not in as great condition unfortunately but with a little love it could be a true show piece.
Send me an offer. firstname.lastname@example.com
Are you selling the Sectional with the hideaway spaghetti lamps?
Kind Regards,
I have this exact sofa in the same colour as the above pictures. It's currently on ebay and Craigslist vancouver. I am asking $1600. It's all original. I can be reached at ad1973 at shaw dot ca
This sofa just sold again yesterday 9/12/16 in Vancouver Canada for $1,600. Sadly, I was not the lucky buyer.
I have a Newport chesterfield I'm selling at an estate sale. I think it was made by the same company. This one has a bed also. It has the circular middle that spins and looks like a bar plus two built in end tables. The sofa is a sectional gold with flowers on the cushions so retro and cool. Still has plastic on the set.
I have one of these from Same Company with martini bar that spins and two removable stools that cover end tables. Real Social piece. Reversible brown/cream cushions. Original fabric. In process of maybe recovering in a 60 70's design.

- Judging and Trade Day Tuesday 28th July 2020
- Show Day Wednesday 29th July 2020
A German Montagnolo Affine produced by Kaserei Champignon and imported by Elite Imports Ltd has been crowned Supreme Champion at this year's International Cheese Awards, winning the accolade ahead of more than 3,927 other competitors.
A panel of expert judges from the dairy industry judged last year's winner, a Wookey Hole Cave Aged Cheddar produced by Ashley Chase Estate Ltd as the Nantwich Reserve Supreme Champion whilst Belton Cheese Ltd won the National Westminster trophy for the highest number of gold awards. Marks & Spencer won the Supreme Retailer Award.
This year's competition saw 226 categories in all, with competitors from 27 countries. Other winners at the event, in its 115th year can be seen by downloading the results below.
Richard Paul, Show Chairman, said: "We had 3,927 entries in all, which is a record, and the standard across the board was extremely high – our panel of 156 judges really did have their work cut out to make their selections.
"They selected the Montognolo Affine – an extremely deserving Supreme Champion. It, and all the category winners and runners up, can now feature a gold, silver or bronze International Cheese Awards label on pack.
"We will now be continuing to working hard to educate consumers on what that logo means – that if they spot it they can be safe in the knowledge that the product has been judged, by experts, as outstanding."
Mick Acuta of Elite Imports Ltd said; "I'm thrilled. I feel like I've just won gold at the Olympics. I just want to complement and thank the cheese maker Kaserei Champignon for the quality of this cheese. A few years ago it won reserve overseas champion and this is another great achievement for it."

Sri Lankan relict ant
The Sri Lankan relict ant (Aneuretus simoni) is a species of evolutionarily ancient ant placed in a tribe of its own within the family Formicidae. The genus is monotypic, with the only species endemic to Sri Lanka, where it is known from just a few locations. It is one of the few ant species considered endangered.
|Sri Lankan relict ant
|Aneuretus simoni worker
|Scientific classification
Emery, 1893
A. simoni
|Binomial name
|Aneuretus simoni
Emery, 1893
The species is the only extant genus in the tribe Aneuretini (other members include the extinct Protaneuretus, Paraneretus, and Mianeuretus). They are believed to be intermediate in their phylogenetic position between the Myrmeciinae-Ponerinae and the Dolichoderinae. The workers show very distinct dimorphism with "majors" being much larger than the "minors" and lacking few workers intermediate in size. The minor workers are found in the largest numbers within a nest and have small compound eyes having only about 30 ommatidia (units within the compound eye). The antennae have 12 segments, with the segments increasing gradually in size from the base to the tip. The clypeus is broad and flat, lacking any central ridge. The mouthparts show dolichoderine affinities.[2] Outward-facing spines occur on the propodeum. The petiole node is separated from the anterior peduncle by swellings on the sides and tops. They have a well-developed sting that is similar in structure to that of the Dolichoderinae.[3][4] Workers are yellow to orange in colour and the surface has striations running transversely. The queen is larger than the major and has reduced propodeal spines and a much broader head than the major worker. The pupae are characteristic in being enclosed in cocoons. They are predatory and forage mainly on the ground in leaf litter.[5] Major workers are rare – at most two per colony. The social organization of the colony was found to be similar to that of the Dolichoderinae.[6]
They are known from only a few areas in central Sri Lanka. In Gilimale forest, E O Wilson and other researchers found colonies mainly at the edge of forest clearings. The nests are small and have only a small number of individuals, ranging from two to a hundred. The nests are most often made mainly within rotting and crumbly wood pieces or fallen logs.[5] The few areas in which they live are often disturbed by humans. The species has not been recorded in many of the areas where it was formerly collected and it was recommended for conservation by Wilson.[7] A study in 1985 recorded the species at just one location, Gilimale.[8]
Twenty years later, one of my undergraduate students, Anula Jayasuriya, a native Sri Lankan, found the species rare or absent in the same localities. I recommended placement of Aneuretus simoni in the Red Data Book of the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources, and in time it became one of the first of several ants to be officially classified as a threatened or endangered species.— E. O. Wilson, from Naturalist (1994)

Sarvasena (सर्वसेन) was a janapada mentioned by Panini in Gaṇa-pāṭha (IV.3.92) and as King of Kashi in Mahabharata (I.90.34), (VI.10 59).
Variants of name
- Sarvaseni/Sārvaseni (सार्वसेनी) (Sarvasena's daughter) Mahabharata (I.90.34)
- Sarvasenaya (सर्वसेनय) (Sarvasena's descendants) Mahabharata (VI.10 59),
Mention by Panini
Sarvasena (सर्वसेन) is mentioned by Panini in Ashtadhyayi under Shandikadi (शंडिकादि) (4.3.92) group.[1]
V. S. Agrawala[2] writes that Gaṇa-pāṭha of Panini refers to janapada Sarvasena (IV.3.92) = described as a dry region.
V. S. Agrawala[3] mentions Sanghas known to Panini which includes - Sarvaseni (सार्वसेनि), under Damanyadi (दामन्यादि) (V.3.116).
Sarvasena (सर्वसेन) is mentioned by Panini in Ashtadhyayi. [4]
Sarvaseni (सार्वसेनि), a warlike tribe, is mentioned by Panini in Ashtadhyayi. [5]
V. S. Agrawala[6] mentions Ayudhajivi Sanghas in the Ganapatha, which includes - Dāmanayādi' group (V.3.116) – The names which are supported both by Commentary on the Chandra and the Kashika are Aulupi, Audaki, Āchyutanti (or Achyutadanti), Kākādanti, Sārvaseni, Bindu, Tulabha (Kashika Ulabha), Mauñjāyana, and Sāvitriputra. Of these only the Sāvitriputras are mentioned in Mahabharata (Vanaparva, 297.85; Karnaparva, V.49) and should be located in the Punjab adjacent to Ushinaras. The Sarvaseni seem to be a branch of the Sarvasenas mentioned in the Śaṇḍikādi Gana (IV.3.72), like Gāndhāri-Gandhāra, Sālva-Sālveya. Kāra in Madrakāra meant army or troops, being an old Persian word. It is the same as Sanskrit Senā. The Madrakaras were a division of the Sālvas (IV.1.173), a significant name derived from their territory containing rich pockets of kāras or soldiery. This is just the idea of Sārvaseni also,
[p.447]: and it appears that this was the region of north Rajasthan, where we have already located the Sālva. This is confirmed by the Kashika counting it amongst three rain-less areas, viz. Trigarta, Sauvira, and Sārvaseni. Mauñjāyana (V.3.116, IV.1.99) seems to be Munjān in the upper Oxus region, the home of the Galcha dialect called Munjani (cf. Maunjayani in IV.1.73 gana). The Baijavāpi seem to be genuine reading in ganas.

Colts Hope James Is Rounding Into Form
AP Sports Writer
Tony Dungy liked what he saw from Edgerrin James against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was bursting through holes, running through tackles and involved in the passing game.
For one week, James was back where the Colts needed him to be _ a factor in their offense.
"It was good to see Edgerrin get back and get going," Dungy said Monday.
What the Colts need now is to see James continue to play with that same type of passion and determination in the AFC playoffs.
Dungy has enough postseason experience to know that the best running teams stick around longest. And for the Colts (10-6) to be at their best Saturday against the New York Jets, James must be as good as he was Sunday against the Jaguars.
He looked a lot like he did the first two weeks of the season, when he rushed for 237 yards and had another 93 yards receiving.
Since then, it's been a struggle.
"It's not normal for me to not be able to practice, not be able to do the things I normally do," he said following Sunday's 20-13 win over Jacksonville. "When I get in a game, any little nick and I'm in so much pain. It's frustrating and everything, but you've just got to keep pushing."
Since returning to the field less than a year after having a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, his season has been a roller coaster ride.
He started fast, then spent three months trying to regain his form. Every yard seemed like a tug-of-war and he appeared, at times, to lose the fearlessness that had made him one of the league's top runners.
When things went sour, critics believed James' right knee was not completely healthy.
Three weeks ago, though, Dungy announced James' knee wasn't the big problem _ his ankles were. When James injured his left ankle in Week 2 against Miami, it seemed like a minor injury. Then he hurt the right ankle Nov. 17 and has re-injured it several times since.
Not surprisingly, his production dropped off after both games.
But James also has had to contend with rib and hamstring injuries this year, which he called his toughest football season. James finally broke his silence Sunday, speaking to local reporters for the first time since the regular-season began.
"Any time you get out there and they're pounding on you, pounding on you, you kind of use and abuse the ankle and everything," James said. "I had a lot of other problems that were really the problem."
With James not at full strength, the Colts' running game has lagged, and with it, so has their usually potent offense.
The Colts have not had a 100-yard rusher since James went for 106 yards on Nov. 17, before his second ankle injury, and have had only three 100-yard games all season.
The ground game has been so sluggish that when James rushed 15 times for 86 yards in Sunday's 20-13 win over Jacksonville, it marked only the second time since Nov. 17 that a n Indianapolis back had even reached 80 yards in a game. James rushed 26 times for 84 yards Nov. 24.
"I've always known that if I'm fresh and I don't have any injuries, I'm going to go out there and do some things on that field," James said. "It's too easy."

The two teams are working together to explore whether MimbleWimble is the right fit for Litecoin.
Here at Inferno we've made no secret about our interest in MimbleWimble, the exciting new blockchain protocol that manages to combine both privacy and scalability thanks to its approach of avoiding storing any sensitive information on the blockchain at all. Earlier this week, we looked at Beam, an Israeli project that implements MW in a standalone blockchain.
As it happens, Charlie Lee, known as 'Satoshi Lite' recently expressed his intention to improve the privacy and fungibility of Litecoin by adding confidential transactions:
Fungibility is the only property of sound money that is missing from Bitcoin & Litecoin. Now that the scaling debate is behind us, the next battleground will be on fungibility and privacy.
I am now focused on making Litecoin more fungible by adding Confidential Transactions.
He stated at the time that his dev team was exploring MimbleWimble, and now a new development has arisen. Team Litecoin and Team Beam are working together to figure out whether Litecoin should use MW to improve Litecoin's privacy – essentially by removing the transaction path, amounts and addresses from the blockchain where confidentiality is desired.
Beam recently posted a Medium blog to this effect, writing, 'We have started exploration towards adding privacy and fungibility to Litecoin by allowing on-chain conversion of regular LTC into a Mimblewimble variant of LTC and vice versa. Upon such conversion, it will be possible to transact with Mimblewimble LTC in complete confidentiality.'
This would be a fantastic development, because we believe that MimbleWimble is hands down the best privacy solution out there. But it's not for the faint-hearted, and Charlie Lee knows there are challenges involved. On a technical level, it would involve moving coins from the Litecoin main chain into a MW sidechain, or another similar solution. And, when you're dealing with a $2 billion network, there's little room for error. Plus the quirks of MW mean that you can't just send money to an address; both sender and recipient have to be online at some point to arrange the terms of the transaction, which may cause some inconvenience – especially where cold storage is concerned.
Nonetheless, it's a great move and shows real vision on the part of Litecoin and a commitment not to stand still. The market responded positively to the news, with LTC rising 10%.

Exploring Our City
Exploring Our City We live out in the country near a small town, but there is a fairly large city just thirty minutes away. I have to admit, however, that I don't go downtown very often, even though it's all been renovated. Part of the reason is because I get a little anxious trying to find a parking space on the city streets, but
Drawing with Chalk
Usually, when we think about kids using chalk, we picture them drawing flowers or butterflies on a sidewalk or driveway. They might mark out a hopscotch board and play a game or two.

Write an Autobiographical Poem
Write an Autobiographical Poem I love writing in rhyme, but ask me to write free verse, and you'll probably get something that sounds forced and contrived. Fortunately for me (and those reading my poems), there are a lot of non-rhyming forms of poetry that have guidelines, making them easier to figure out. One of these is the autobiographical poem.

Let's Dance!
Some of our favorite games when my children were younger involved dancing. No – it wasn't formal dancing, and it didn't matter that I had two left feet.

Video Production 101 Part 3: More Site Production Tips
Last week, our friend and guest-blogger, Tom DeAngelis, Producer/Director/Owner of the Production House, LLC in Toms River, NJ, talked about part two of the production planning process. He now moves on to part three in the three part series. In case you need a refresher on part two, read this first: Video Production 101 Part 2: Site Planning.
More to think about when planning your site…
If the site is an outdoor site, do you need outside AC power, is it available and from where? Will you need extension cords? How long? How many? Or, do you need a generator? What is the human traffic flow like? Will you need a crew for crowd control? How about parking? And a place to off load gear? Do you need a hand truck and is there a way to get it from the vehicle to the site? That may sound elementary until you have a vehicle filled with gear and no easy way to get to your site. If there are multiple sites within the framework of the general overall location, how will you get from point A to point B?
In the Manhattan tour shoot mentioned in part two of this blog series, we actually had to have one person designated to drive our truck around the blocks while we shot at various locations and then followed the tour bus to the next site. Parking in Manhattan for 20 or 30 minute intervals at various sites is just not something you can easily do.
If the site is an interior site, you have some of the same issues as you do for the exterior locations. However, you will add into your survey some other potential problem areas. For instance, how big is the room? How high are the ceilings? High ceiling makes for better lighting set ups but they could cause problems with acoustics, causing your audio to sound hollow. And while we're talking sound, what are the acoustics like? Flat, hard, uncovered surfaces will affect your audio differently than those with curtains, rugs, etc.
For light – where are the windows? How will that ambient light effect your camera, light placement, and white balance?
What about potential ambient audio issues? Aside from those listed above for exteriors, what about air conditioning units? Telephones? Intercoms?, etc.
While doing a shoot in a hospital, we had to have maintenance disconnect the intercom so we could do a clean interview with the hospital president in one of the new hospital rooms. Hearing a "Code Blue" over the intercom in this particular instance would not have been the ambient sound we were looking for.
Hey, is there an elevator that can help you get your gear to where you need to go?
OK, enough. You get the idea.
Each site will require different preparation, different contacts to access areas and certainly different gear. With the advent of live streaming, it has become more important to know what the site's WiFi network can handle. And if your shoot is a considerable distance away from home, you'll want to check out some accommodations for overnight stays. There's always a lot to consider.
It's up to you to take the time to check out your site and look for answers to some of the questions above. The survey will put you at ease the day of the shoot and it will be one of the important deciding factors in you choosing what gear you will need to execute your shot list. Choosing not to take the time to do the site survey is gambling with the schedule, the budget and the quality of your project.
Don't get yourself into a "Heaven's Gate" production. Be professional and do the survey!

The Government has held a crisis meeting with Amazon TV executives as the network threatens to pull plans to film the Lord of the Rings series in New Zealand.
At US$1 billion (NZ$1.49 billion), it is touted as the most expensive television series in history – and accordingly, the most lucrative for the country where it is filmed.
Earlier this year, production company boss Jennifer Salke confirmed New Zealand was being considered as the location – but now, that's in jeopardy.
Read more about it here: https://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/109543455/plans-to-film-1-billion-lord-of-the-rings-television-series-in-nz-under-threat. My take has been that the show will probably not film entirely in any one country, though New Zealand is certainly a likely contender.

Maize, also known as corn, is one of the most extensively consumed cereal grains in the world. Packed with fiber, vitamins and minerals, crunchy corn is worth craving for during pregnancy. But is it safe to eat corn during pregnancy?
This MomJunction post answers the question, and discusses the value corn adds to your diet, risks if any, storage tips and recipes.
Can You Eat Corn During Pregnancy?
Yes, you can. Corn contains folic acid, fiber, vitamins B1, B5, and C, improves digestion, strengthens circulation and also aids lactation.
Nutritional Value Of Corn
The nutrition present in 100 grams of raw corn is as follows (1):
|Folic acid (vitamin B9)
|Niacin (vitamin B3)
|Riboflavin (vitamin B2)
|Pyridoxine (vitamin B6)
|Thiamin (vitamin B1)
|Vitamin A
|Vitamin C
|Vitamin E
|Vitamin K
|Fatty acids
g=grams; mg=milligrams; mcg=micrograms; IU=international unit
[ Read: High Fiber Foods For Pregnancy ]
What Are The Health Benefits Of Corn During Pregnancy?
1. Fiber treats constipation:
The fiber content in corn can address digestive problems such as constipation that you may experience during early pregnancy (2).
2. Prevents macular degeneration:
Corn contains a carotenoid substance called zeaxanthin that has oxidative properties and prevents macular degeneration of the eye (3). It, therefore, helps your baby fight macular degeneration in the later stages.
3. Folate lowers birth defects:
Corn has folic acid that reduces the risk of spina bifida and other neutral malformations (4).
4. Boosts memory of the unborn child:
Thiamine in corn aids in the development of memory in both the mother and the baby (5).
5. Improves immune system:
The beta-carotene in corn provides vitamin A that is required for immune system functioning, and for healthy growth and development of the baby (6).
From fresh raw corn to cooked and baked and popped, corn is available in a variety of edible forms. But can you eat all of them?
Corn Products To Eat And Avoid
|Fresh corn from the cob (gluten-free)
|Microwavable popcorn (contain toxic chemicals, diacetyl, and perfluorooctanoic acid)
|Labeled GMO-free corn
|Corn syrup (contains high-fructose sugars)
|Organic corn (rich in nutrients)
|Cornstarch (non-food substance)
|Plain popcorn (butter, salt, and caramel-free)
|Corn oil (full of fat and calories)
|Frozen corn (contains fewer calories and less sodium)
|Canned corn (goes through a lot of processing)
So, how can you enjoy the allowed forms of corn in pregnancy?
[ Read: Constipation During Pregnancy ]
Ways Of Consuming Corn During Pregnancy
Corn is one of the best foods you may generally snack on when you are hungry.
- Sweet corn is a delicious addition to salads, soups, toast, and sandwiches.
- Add to pizzas, pasta, and other dishes to enhance their taste.
- Grill or barbecue the cob and eat corn directly from it.
- Boil sweet corn and add seasoning of your preference.
Choose the right variety of corn to enjoy the taste of these dishes.
Tips For Buying and Storing Corn
Follow the below tips while buying corn (7):
- Look for husks that are green in color.
- Choose only fresh corn. You can check the freshness by pulling off the husk and piercing the kernel with a fingernail.
- If the corn kennel is firm but soft and releases a little juice on being punctured, it is fresh. On the other hand, if it is discolored or dented, it is not.
- Corn exposed to high temperatures can lose a bit of its sweet flavor, as the sugar gets converted to starch.
- Let the corn remain in the husk and put it in the refrigerator.
- If you have husked the corn, put it in a plastic bag and refrigerate it.
- If you want to eat fresh corn, eat it as soon as you bring it home.
Fresh corn has a certain appeal that might compel you to have more than what you should. And that can be a bad thing.
Possible Side Effects Of Eating Corn When Pregnant
Potential side effects of corn may occur due to over-consumption.
- Corn contains a high amount of fatty acids, so if you are at risk of heart problems, reduce your daily intake (8).
- It may cause indigestion (9); therefore, it is better to have fresh corn in limited amounts.
But what if you crave corn so much and want to have it all the time? Is it normal?
[ Read: Benefits Of Corn Flakes In Pregnancy ]
Is Craving Corn During Pregnancy Related To The Pica Syndrome?
Yes, sometimes you may crave for cornstarch during pregnancy. This might be because of a condition called the Pica Syndrome, which involves craving of non-food substances such as clay, ice, dirt and more (10). If you experience such symptoms, talk to your doctor.
Why Is Microwave Popcorn Not Safe During Pregnancy?
Microwave popcorn is not safe for two reasons (11).
- They contain a chemical called diacetyl, which is used to imitate the butter flavor. The research shows that the workers at a popcorn manufacturing factory developed a lung disorder called bronchiolitis obliterans (popcorn worker's lung) as they are prone to inhale this chemical.
- A toxic chemical called perfluorooctanoic acid, which is known to be found in the microwavable popcorn bags, breaks down upon heating. It is a carcinogen and likely to cause several types of cancer.
Next, we answer a few common queries about eating corn during pregnancy.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is overeating popcorn harmful during pregnancy?
Too much of anything is harmful. Same is the case with popcorn as it may contain the dangerous condiments such as butter, salt or caramel. Excess of salt will lead to water retention, blood pressure fluctuations and more, and excess of sugar could result in a host of other health issues. Likewise, the excess butter will lead to fat and sodium level buildup in the body.
2. Does eating cornstarch during pregnancy cause amylophagia?
Yes. The compulsive eating of cornstarch in large quantities during pregnancy causes amylophagia, a form of pica disorder. It leads to elevated blood sugar levels, preterm labor, abnormalities in baby development and high birth weight (12).
3. Can corn cause weight gain during pregnancy?
Corn is rich in carbohydrates and nutrients and is a significant source of energy that can lead to weight gain during pregnancy.
[ Read: Benefits Of Folic Acid During Pregnancy ]
4. Is eating undercooked corn on the cob dangerous for pregnant women?
No, it is not dangerous to have undercooked corn on the cob. Just be careful not to have it in excess quantities.
In case you feel uneasy after taking corn, get in touch with your doctor. If you plan to include corn in your diet, discuss the benefits and probable risks with the doctor. As long as you use moderate amounts of corn, you can enjoy a wide range of delicacies to satiate your pregnancy cravings. Remember to be safe and buy organic and non-toxic varieties.

Saint Paul is the smaller of the two cities known as the Twin Cities, and it is also the second largest city in Minnesota. As the capital city, it is a hub of government activity, but it also has a wonderfully diverse economy for its 305,000 residents to benefit from. With a strategic location on the Mississippi River, it is not surprising to learn that Saint Paul is a commercial and manufacturing hub.
If you are searching for Saint Paul, MN homes for sale, there are plenty of ways for you to spend your free time after you get settled in. The Saint Paul Winter Carnival and the Minnesota State Fair are popular festivals that bring residents together at specific times of the year. The city is also home to the Wabasha Street Caves, the University of Minnesota – Saint Paul, the Como Zoo and Conservatory, Xcel Energy Center, Lake Phalen and other attractions. Numerous shopping malls, quality public and private schools, beautiful parks and more all add to the quality of life in Saint Paul.
Sorry we are experiencing system issues. Please try again.


text: Superficially, the title of the blog looks like an oxymoron. We immediately map the terms Research & Development with the Innovation. It is so much prevalent in our perception that innovation comes straight out of R & D, ready made, ready to be consumed and everlasting. But when you carefully look at the process of R & D, it is just an iterative process where you form a hypothesis, conduct experiment and test the theory with the obtained result. If the results are conclusive, then you get your innovation. But it's most often that you can be wrong. When you fail at the intermediate steps of the experimentations, you go back, re-formulate the hypothesis and test again. It's called as rinse and repeat. This process demands the sheer amount of energy of the people involved and requires time to do that.

MIL-STD-810 Overview
What is the MIL-STD-810?
This standard is an equipment testing standard by the United States Department of defense. It describes in detail testing procedures designed to determine how equipment holds up under a variety of conditions the equipment may encounter while being used, transported and stored. These conditions include temperature, impact, vibration, humidity, and more. Note that while the standard is extensively used for testing of rugged computing equipment, it was not specifically designed for that type of equipment. As a result, some tests are ambiguous when applied to computing equipment.
With MIL-STD 810, which many consider as the rugged standard, it may be more appropriate to think of it as a set of environmental standards, rather than a single specification.
- MIL-STD 810 Method 500 Low Pressure (Altitude)
- MIL-STD 810 Method 501 High Temperature
- MIL-STD 810 Method 502 Low Temperature
- MIL-STD 810 Method 503 Temperature Shock
- MIL-STD 810 Method 504 Contamination by Fluids
- MIL-STD 810 Method 505 Solar Radiation (Sunshine)
- MIL-STD 810 Method 506 Rain (Wind/Blown Rain)
- MIL-STD 810 Method 507 Humidity
- MIL-STD 810 Method 508 Fungus
- MIL-STD 810 Method 509 Salt Fog
- MIL-STD 810 Method 510 Sand and Dust
- MIL-STD 810 Method 511 Explosive Atmosphere
- MIL-STD 810 Method 512 Leakage
- MIL-STD 810 Method 513 Acceleration
- MIL-STD 810 Method 514 Vibration
- MIL-STD 810 Method 515 Acoustic Noise
- MIL-STD 810 Method 516 Shock
- MIL-STD 810 Method 518 Acidic Atmosphere
- MIL-STD 810 Method 519 Gunfire Vibration
- MIL-STD 810 Method 520 Temp, Humidity, Vibration
- MIL-STD 810 Method 521 Icing, Freezing Rain
- MIL-STD 810 Method 522 Ballistic Shock
- MIL-STD 810 Method 523 Vibro-Acoustic/Temperature
How to Know if a Computer Meets MIL-STD 810?
Because some vendors can a bit vague, or even misleading when it comes to MIL-STD 810 compliance, here are some questions you should ask the vendor:
- Which MIL-STD 810 testing methods were used?
- Which parameters were tested?
- Was testing done by an independent facility?
- Has this computer passed field verification trials, or been successfully proven on a mission?

The Rest of the Way
So where are you my burgundy and obsessed friends? What is the state of your skins-fan psyche? It's cold and lonely out here in the DC suburbs, be they your literal or merely spiritual home. It's almost 70 degrees today, but none of us are fooled by it. There's a frigid, lifeless breeze coming.
Like the Autumn leaves spiraling downward here in Carolina, the promising colors and vibrancy of the early Fall have given way to browns, greys, and the cold harsh reality of impending Winter. So it is for Redskins land.
The rhythms and predictable cadence of the seasons coming and going are familiar. The inevitable transition from a gloriously hopeful Spring where anything is possible, to the harsh stark realities of Fall and Winter are a seasonal journey for Redskins fans. In fact, but for a lucky few, the march across the seasons and the gamut of emotions they entail is an annual one for NFL fans of all colors. It's a part of fandom as inescapable as the passing of the seasons themselves.
When that critical moment of realization comes – you know the one – that your team is going nowhere this season, again, it's met with resignation but also a tiny whisper of unspoken hope.
There's always next year. Or so goes the refrain.
As Redskins fans everywhere come to terms with that dreaded moment's sooner-than-expected arrival in 2009, this time it feels a little different. The die-hards still mouth the refrain, but no sound passes even their ever-hopeful lips. It's a hopeless, hapless, and helpless time to be a Washington Redskins fan. As the old joke goes, there may be a light at the end of the tunnel we're traversing. Unfortunately, it may be the lights of the train bearing ominously down upon us. Hope does not spring eternal – not these days.
So where does that leave the greatest fanbase in America? And have no doubt – fans of the Washington Redskins are as passionate, committed, and invested as any sports fans anywhere. The current state of fan turmoil is nearly unprecedented. Sure, Redskins fans have been lost in the desert before. The long-toothed among us traversed miles of mediocrity from the glory years of Sammy Baugh till the George Allen era when hope finally took root. Modern fans have survived a variety of insults to their fandom, beginning with the agonizing 'almost' years of 'what we do works' Norv Turner, the departure of a seemingly competent Marty Shottenheimer whose only real sin was wanting to run this football team, and the mad scientist's experiment gone wrong that was the Steve Spurrier era. Redskins fans have been to the dentist before Jim Zorn arrived. But this time it feels different. This time, the pain is nearly excruciating. No mere root canal can cure our ills.
Why is that?
Redskins fans are hardly the most abused in the land. We've been to the promised land and more than once. Despite our current claim as one of the most pathetic franchises in the NFL, there are fans who'd kill to sniff the kind of success Redskins fans have experienced. So why does this particular downturn in our team's fortunes feel so bad, seem so hopeless, and our future prospects so dark and gloomy?
Like the mother of the accused who suddenly wakes in the middle of the night with the horrible epiphany that maybe little Johnny really did commit all of those terrible acts, Redskins fans are waking up. Our owner may really be a meddlesome tyrant, the Redskins franchise may be more about maximizing their bottom line than about winning, this front office may have literally no clue about how to build a winning organization, and 'lessons learned' may well be a foreign concept at Ashburn, Virginia. And the worst realization of them all, we could be this bad for a long, long time.
So what are we to do with all that as fans of this team? Where do we go from here? Do we accept our fate, to wander in the NFL desert for the next twenty years? Do we hope and pray for the next great savior to arrive post-Gibbs? Even that possibility is fraught with fear. Given the state of apparent dysfunction in DC, could an NFL giant like Bill Cowher or Tony Dungy turn this stumbling, bumbling franchise around – and would men of that caliber even want to work with an owner who, fairly or not, is well on his way to being hated by his own fanbase with nearly the same level of passion with which they love the team itself. That is quite an accomplishment Mr. Snyder, and one that's not likely to lead to the best of the best NFL coaches pining to join you.
If no savior is to come, then what?
If I've learned one thing about my beloved team, it's never to make predictions. I have no idea what the future holds for this team – I only know it's more uncertain and directionless than at any time in my memory. That's not a good thing.
So what can I do, this Redskins fan of some 40 years? How do I bide the time, continue to make the ultimately dissatisfying trek from hope to despair, season after season? How do I stay a Redskins fan? If my fandom is a marriage, I'm holding onto it for dear life. We haven't had sex in years, barely even speak to each other, and when we do, there's now an edge to the conversation I never noticed before. But I want to save this thing, I'm not ready to say goodbye, even if it's only in tribute to all the years we've spent together, and a hope that I can preserve something for my kids.
I think the best I can do is remember the good times. Remember why I got into this, the first time I saw her, and how those times made me feel. I can look for the best in these players, celebrate those increasingly rare successes, try not to worry about the futility of a great play in an awful season, and embrace what positives I can. Remember that this petty, arrogant owner is not my team. He's merely a temporary steward of it. And try to keep that little tiny struggling flame of hope burning somewhere deep in the recesses of my discouraged and cynical little heart. I remember the refrain, the mantra of the forlorn hopeless, and I'll strive to speak it one of these days soon.
There's always next year.

Think loyalty programs are confined to the plastic cards in your purse or wallet? Or that loyalty is less about the love you have for a brand and more about the point or perk attached to an airline or credit card?
Those points and rewards have been carefully designed to coerce you to choose to shop at specific retailers, increase your basket size, and make you feel like you need to do it all more frequently, consistently, and…automatically.
The automation of behavior is the result of some serious Pavlovian design thinking. Consider the do-this-get-that schemes at the root of many traditional loyalty reward cards—the ones that have you choose to fill up at a specific gas station because you're that much closer to earning a complimentary car wash, or the double point events that give you that extra little push to help rationalize buying that second pint of ice cream.
Now consider the last time you adjusted your home thermostat to conserve energy. If you're one of over a million people who own a Nest Thermostat, you were probably intrigued when a little green leaf appeared on the screen to signal energy efficiency. While Nest is a "learning" thermostat, in that it learns your usage patterns and adjusts temperatures automatically, it uses the leaf as a badge to let users know when they're conserving—and, over time, trains them to progressively lower the temperature of their home. Through the lens of loyalty design, that leaf isn't simply an indicator of conservation, it's a non-monetary currency that Nest users are trained to want.
Loyalty programs train people to respond to certain cues in exchange for a treat. And if you pull back the curtain on the magic of loyalty design, not only will you realize you're no longer in Kansas (and that you likely can't use your miles for a direct flight home at a convenient time), you'll find most loyalty programs consist of subtle levers and mechanics designed to build profiles, collect data, extract insights, fabricate intimacy, and drive behavior.
And that's what makes Nest so powerful. On one hand, it's a smart gadget that gives you the ability to grab your home by its HVAC unit—transplanting it firmly into the 21st century in about the same amount of time it takes to hard boil an egg. On the other, it employs key loyalty mechanics like a unique identifier (user account), regularly delivered personalized communications (emails and app notifications), and a non-monetary currency (the leaf). Nest collects data, extracts insights from usage histories, and influences users from the comfort of their own home.
But there's even more going on than just controlling the temperature. Nest sends each user a monthly energy report with information on how many kilowatt hours all Nest Thermostat schedules have saved since 2011, as well as letting people know how much energy they have used to heat or cool their home. Did you catch the nuance? Everything a user does to interact with their Nest Thermostat is about what they can do to save energy—and that gets signalled back to them in real-time. The monthly reports are based on usage and tell users how much they've used. Nest is able to communicate to its users how close they are to their goals and how far they've come—which taps into those parts of the brain where our feelings of motivation live (which just happens to be a bit of a holy grail for marketers).
Some Nest users even receive extra recognition in the form of a "kudos box" at the top of their monthly report. This is typically given if you've managed to conserve more energy than in the past, or if you're doing something more efficiently than other Nest users—which introduces local leaderboards (gamification as a loyalty technique) and stimulates that competitive region of the brain that compels a person to acquire things like points or miles or leafs, and defend that status against others.
If we accept that the most successful loyalty programs are able to change our behavior, then it is evident that Nest regulates more than just the temperature of our homes—it automates our actions in ways that that look, feel, taste, and smell like a highly effective loyalty program. And the kicker? It's ironic that the most powerful loyalty program people belong to is no longer connected to a plastic card; it's not even marketed or thought of as a loyalty program. Nest is, in many ways, a loyalty company that automates powerful customer experiences—not a company with a loyalty program.
This is the first in a five-part series that examines how loyalty is at the core of the Nest customer experience.

The Mobile Marketing Disconnect
Source: Bulldog Reporter, Daily Dog
Mobile Marketing Disconnect: Most Businesses Lack an Enterprise-Led Mobile Strategy, Says Industry Research Report—New IDC Study Finds Only 16 Percent of Businesses Have One
To explore how companies are leveraging mobile technology to realize business benefits, IDC recently released a new report, Creating Business Value from Mobile-First Development Practices. Sponsored by enterprise mobility leader Kony, the survey demonstrated that companies that make strategic investments in mobility are achieving significantly more meaningful business results than those that do not. However, only 16 percent of these companies have an enterprise-led mobile strategy.
The mobile revolution is underway: According to IDC, the number of smartphones and tablets shipped worldwide will reach over 2 billion units by 2017. With this explosive growth, mobility presents a new set of challenges for organizations. It also, however, presents a key opportunity to drive business transformation. According to the survey, an enterprise-led strategy that aligns with key stakeholders drives a range of benefits, including increased sales, better brand awareness, competitive advantage and decreased costs.
"With the number of mobile applications downloaded from app stores expected to increase by a 31.7 percent by 2017, enterprises are realizing that a mobile strategy is no longer a nice-to-have but a must-have," said Thomas E. Hogan, chief executive officer, Kony Inc., in a news release. "But bringing the goals of IT and the business into proper alignment is difficult when it comes to a mobile strategy. The results of the survey are further proof that those organizations that practice a mobile-first business model will improve business performance while engaging customers, business partners, and employees in new ways. Developing a clear mobile strategy is not something enterprises can ignore any longer."
"To capitalize on mobile opportunities, organizations need a mobile-led strategy with support from the top," said Stacy Crook, research director at Mobile Enterprise Software IDC, in the release. "Modern mobile application design asks for a fast and flexible model that engenders communication across the key stakeholders in the organization. By creating a cross-functional mobile center of excellence within their organization, enterprises are best positioned to build a cohesive strategy that marries line of business wishes to IT requirements."
Key findings from the survey include:
- Companies that make enterprise-led strategic investments in mobility are realizing significantly higher levels of meaningful business benefits than those that have just business unit-led or departmental-led mobile approach.
- Only 16 percent of companies take a clear, enterprise-led approach to mobility. However, 93 percent of companies with an enterprise-led approach rated their success with mobile deployments higher than companies with a business unit-led or departmental-led approach.
- Nearly 50 percent of organizations using a mobile solution named the following benefits as critical for impacting their business: smarter, faster decision making, improved organizational efficiency, cost savings, better customer interaction and increased revenue.
- 41 percent of companies have an ongoing enterprise-wide mobile budget. These companies have the highest allowance for mobile budget, which tends to provide for strategic investments in mobile staff or to augment that staff with outside support.
- 31 percent of companies have a comprehensive mobile technical staff augmented with external support and another 30 percent have a mobile development/architect group.
- Nearly 40 percent of respondents cite security and compliance issues as a challenge, the most of any other response choice.
The study used survey responses from more than 400 IT decision makers who are responsible for influencing or directing mobile strategy at enterprises in the United States.

My last post of the year 2009.
I was in Perlis for 5 days but I felt like I need to come back to Penang. I was miserable in Wang Ulu and moving to a different house to Level 4 Block 9 and having sucky internet connection in the house are making it worse. So the best remedy is going back to my home sweet home.
Even if there's no direct bus back to Penang after 4pm, I wouldn't care less. I rather come back than stay there for the weekend. So, I chose to take a bus to Alor Setar and then to Penang. Loo Wen and I make a decision to take an express bus which would stop at Alor Setar thinking it would be so much faster than the slow stop-at-almost-every-bus-stop bus from Kangar to Alor Setar. Instead the bus detoured to so many places in Kedah that it was so much longer that we reached later than the 'slow' bus.
Well, at least I get to go sight-seeing around parts of Kedah from Changloon to Jitra to Kepala Batas to Alor Setar. Nice detour considering the bus has comfortable seats and great air-conditioning. After that took a bus from Alor Setar to Penang. We got on almost last and have to sit at the last row. Experience a bumpy ride and I didn't even mind. The thought of finally able to get home just make me forget the hardships...hahahaha.
Got to see a very amazing sunset. The colours splashed across the skies was really beautiful. The glow given of my the sun painted the skies with reddish, yellowish, purplish, and pinkish hues. A great sunset to end the year. Got back to the island around 8.30 after 4 hours of traveling.
Finally I'm happy....^__^
