Implant-associated infection is a common postoperative complication and remains a serious problem in the surgery. This work describes the development of hydroxyapatite implants with photo-bactericidal properties by the surface coating. The unique coating as crystalline nanoparticles of IR photosensitizers of implant was investigated using infrared spectroscopy. It has been proved that by the interaction of nanoparticles covering implant with the polar solvent, which simulates the interaction of the implant with the biocomponents in vivo (fast proliferating and with immune-competent cells), IR photosensitizers nanoparticles change the spectroscopic properties, becoming fluorescent and phototoxic. Thus, the developed coating based on crystalline IR photosensitizer nanoparticles with studied specific properties should have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory effect by the photodynamic treatment in the near implant area. This research opens the prospect of such technology application in order to provide the local inflammatory and autoimmune reactions prevention in the area of implantation that will improve implant antimicrobial effects and reduce potential long-term cytotoxicity. The results of the study suggest a promising this technology in order to create implants with photo-bactericidal properties.

The research of the organic compounds and synthetic materials integration processes in biological tissue is crucial for improving the quality of life of patients in need of regeneration or replacement of tissue defects [1-6]. Implant techniques have found application in many areas of medicine (orthopedics, neurosurgery, cardiac surgery, dentistry, traumatology, etc.). Surgical intervention with subsequent implantation is a difficult process in terms of post-operative recovery, preventing inflammatory responses and of the implant rejection processes. During implantation, the immune system stimulates inflammatory and reparative response of the conjunctive tissue leading to the implant rejection [7-17]. This circumstance prevents implant biointegration and entails comorbidities.
At present the most perspective material, which is widely used in the field of clinical implantation, is hydroxyapatite (HAp). HAp is characterized by high stability, bioactivity and biocompatibility [18-23]. HAp was studied due to its crystallographical and chemical resemblance with the mineral part of the human hard tissue. It was proven that HAp has the ability to bond directly with bone tissue. Bacterial infections are associated with implant materials that may induce the local inflammation around the implant and eventually implant loss. This phenomenon is of major concern for both patients and health care providers because of the negative impact on patient quality of life and the economic cost of frequent implant replacements. Accordingly, there is a growing demand to inhibit bacterial colonization on implanted devices through the immobilization of an antibacterial agent on their surface that can both discourage initial bacterial adhesion and serve to kill them upon contact [24]. Porous bioactive ceramic such as HAp is one of the alternatives to be used as local drug delivery system. Furthermore, the inclusion of antimicrobial agents within HAp is expected to prevent or cure implant-associated infections via their direct release to local regions such as the implant-tissue interface. Antibiotics can also be applied on the implant surfaces [25] as photobactericidal substances, however, concerns exist regarding their efficacy considering the growing problem of antibiotic resistant bacteria and their short-term effect [26]. Thus, the leading developments are aimed at the implant design with antiseptic and bactericidal properties that will allow reducing of the immune processes duration and inflammatory reactions in biological tissues, ensuring the most comfortable conditions for implant biointegration [27-32].
Currently the most promising methods to achieve the bactericidal effect are physical methods particularly antimicrobial photodynamic therapy [33-38]. This method shows a pronounced photo bactericidal activity, anti-inflammatory effect and has gained more attention owing to its broad-spectrum antibacterial properties at very low concentrations, good biocompatibility, satisfactory safety profile, and inherent stability. Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy also prevents the dystrophic and sclerotic processes that can effectively reduce the risk of implant rejection and accelerate biointegration.
The photosensitizers (PS) seem the most promising as photobactericidal substances. The most interesting are the PS, which in contact with the implant surface do not lose their bactericidal properties and have enough grips with the HAp surface to prevent it from washing away by biointeraction. So the PS in nanoform are the most effective substances which do not exhibit their photodynamic activity in the absence of inflammatory agents (microbes, some immune cells) and become phototoxic and photoactive in contact with specific biocomponents [39,40]. The activity level of nanoparticles is evaluated by the intensity of the photoluminescence signal. This photoluminescence signal arises by interaction nanoparticles with inflammatory agents and may be detected as a monitoring and control study modes.
Bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effects of photoactive implants are associated with specific properties of photosensitizer nanoparticles by the laser radiation. HAp implants are of small sizes but have a large surface area due to its porous structure. Large surface area of the deposited PS nanoparticles layer directly comes into contact (interacts) with the biological tissue in vivo. The porous structure is well scatters excited photoluminescence radiation, which contributes to the effective nanoparticles activation over the implant surface and the extensive photodynamic effects.
Meso-tetra (3-pyridyl) bacteriochlorin and non-sulfonated phthalocyanine PcAl aluminum were used as PS which can provide the greatest penetration depth of photodynamic treatment. Test compounds have the absorption peak in the near infrared range corresponded to the region of maximum optical transparency of biological tissues. Optical properties of test compounds give reason to consider them as the most promising PS especially regard to monitoring of pathological processes with deep localization [41-44].
Nanoparticles of bacteriochlorin (nBch) and Aluminum phthalocyanine (nPcAl)
Meso-tetra(3-pyridyl)bacteriochlorin (hereinafter referred to as "bacteriochlorin") produced by the Organic Intermediates and Dyes Institute (Russia) (Figure 1a). Coarse crystals of aluminum phthalocyanine produced by the Organic Intermediates and Dyes Institute (Russia) (Figure 1b).
The aqueous colloid of molecular nBch and nPcAl were prepared as follows. For both samples, polycrystalline powder was added into the distilled water to obtain a concentration of 1 mg/ml. The resulting suspension was dispersed in ultrasonic homogenizer Bandelin SONOPLUS HD2070 with nozzle KE76 (20 kHz, 165 μm amplitude).
By means of multi-angle dynamic light scattering spectrometer Photocor Complex (Russia), allowing to obtain the nanoparticle size distribution through analysis of correlation function of the dispersed light intensity fluctuations, it was determined that mean particle diameter in the aqueous colloid is 220÷240 nm. It is important to note that the resulting nBch and nPcAl colloids not luminesce by laser excitation with 532 and 632.8 nm wavelengths, respectively. Thus, free forms of the PS nanocrystals show no photoactivity.
Hydroxyapatite (HAp)
Coralline derived HAp is the most perspective biomaterial for implantation. HAp implants were synthesized by the research group of Professor Balla Vamsi Krishna in India. [45].
The tailor-made HAp implants were fabricated from the HAp powder. The HAp powder was prepared by precipitation between Ca(OH)2 and H3PO4 according to the following reaction:
10 Ca(OH)2 + 6H3PO4= Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2 + 18H2O.
An aqueous solution of H3PO4 was added very slowly to a suspension of Ca(OH)2. During reaction, temperature of the suspension was maintained at 80°C. The resulting precipitate was aged, dried and calcined at 800°C. The calcined powder was ground in a planetary mill (Figure 2).
During the fabrication, the powder was intimately mixed with appropriate quantity of naphthalene powder by repeated sieving. The powder mix was inserted into rubber bag and compacted at a pressure of 160 MPa by cold-isostatic pressing (EPSI NV; SO 10036, Belgium) to form cylindrical shape. By heating at 80°C, the naphthalene was driven off from the green implant and great care was taken at this stage to prevent cracking. Finally, the implant was sintered at 1250°C for 3 h to improve the mechanical properties.
To achieve the photobactericidal effect in the area of implantation, the photosensitizers in nanoform were applied on the HAp implant surface. Porous implant surface was coated with relevant nanoparticles by incubation (t = 30 min) of the implant in a colloidal solution of nBch and nPcAl. Porous HAp structure allows nanoparticles to penetrate deep inside as evidenced by the color change in the implant thickness due to the characteristic color of colloidal photosensitizer solutions.
Spectroscopic properties of the nanoparticles were examined with the use of a fiber spectrometer LESA-01 "BIOSPEC" (in the range of 0.4 ÷ 1.1 μm) in various conditions including the interaction with surface molecules of HAp [46].
Series of repeated and then averaged manipulation were carried out to study the dynamics of photosensitizer accumulation in the HAp porous structure. Implant biointegration process was simulated in the in vitro conditions as follows:
• Stage 1: The study examined the spectral properties of fluorescent nanoparticles by interaction with surface molecules of HAp, provided that free nanocrystals in aqueous colloid can't exhibit the luminescence;
• Stage 2: The study examined the spectral-luminescence properties of the coated implant in the interacting implant surface (HAp with the surface layer of nanoparticles) with a polar solvent (dimethyl sulfoxide - DMSO), which mimicked the interaction with biocomponents (immunocompetent cells, bacteria, etc. in vivo);
• Stage 3: The study examined the spectral luminescence properties of the coated implant after polar solvent washing by aqueous dispersion in an ultrasonic homogenizer to avoid the possibility of decontamination of the nanoparticle surface layer under the action of biocomponents (in vivo).
Results of the stepwise exposure on the implant surface are presented in the form of luminescence spectra in Figures 3 and 4 for samples with a surface coating of nBch and nPcAl, respectively.
Analysis of the luminescence spectra dynamics at various conditions for both types of crystalline nanoparticles (bacteriochlorin and aluminum phthalocyanine) shows that initially inphotoactivity PS nanocrystals by the interaction with HAp surface molecules change their spectroscopic properties and acquire the ability to luminesce. Probably this phenomenon can be explained by the interaction between the surface molecules of nanoparticles and complex surface structure of HAp. Surface molecules of nanocrystals may «lie» relative to the surface of the nanoparticle (taking parallel position) or may "wake up" relative to the surface of the nanoparticle (taking orthogonal position). Hence, the surface molecules show spectroscopic properties of PS solution (with the use of DMSO) depending on their location and position.
Thus, the process of photosensitizer crystalline nanoparticles activation is confirmed by a steep increase of the photoluminescence signal intensity (Figures 3 and 4) with the use of polar solvent, which permite to simulate the biocomponents interaction with the implant coated with the surface layer of PS nanoparticles in vivo.
During the study it was also found that the surface molecules of PS nanoparticles interact with the surface structure of HAp sufficiently strong, whereas the nanocrystals washout from the porous structure of the implant was not achieved by the way of aqueous dispersion. This fact is confirmed by the presence of the luminescence signal for both nanoparticle types after 3 stages of exposure (Figures 3 and 4).
Moreover, the luminescence spectra' dynamics of HAp -based implants surface coated with PS nanoparticles were experimentally investigated in the study.
The analysis of the luminescence spectra dynamics for both types of crystalline nanoparticles (nBch and nPcAl) shows that initially nonphotoactive PS nanocrystals acquire the ability to luminescence in contact with HAp surface molecules, though the intensity of luminescence peak varies with time under the influence of the exciting laser radiation (nBch: λex =532 nm, nPcAl: λex =632.8 nm).
Bacteriochlorin nanoparticles (nBch)
The luminescence spectrum of the implant surface coated by nBch excited by laser radiation λex = 532 nm has two luminescence peaks λem= 758 nm and λem =654 nm. At constant exposure to the excitation laser radiation, the luminescence intensity peak changes over time. The intensity of the luminescence peak corresponding λem= 654 nm increases over time, whereas the intensity of the luminescence peak corresponding λem= 758 nm decreases over time (Figure 5). Apparently depending on the exposure time surface molecules change their position relative to each other and the surface structure of HAp, showing spectroscopic properties of bacteriochlorin solution (λem = 758 nm) or chlorin (λem = 654 nm).
It should be noted that the process is reversible therefore structural change of the PS molecule or self-formation of chlorin molecules are impossible. Figure 6 shows that the difference in structure of bacteriochlorin and chlorin molecules is the presence of one more double bond in the chlorin compound. So the interaction between two neighbor molecules of bacteriochlorin may occur under the influence of the exciting laser light. This interaction is probably based on the formation between two molecules of common temporary double bond, which collapses in the absence of the exciting radiation. In this instance, one of bacteriochlorin molecules may show chlorin spectroscopic properties. Thus, the nBch interact both pairs between themselves and with the complex porous structure of HAp. Depending both on the strength of interaction and own nanoparticle localization environment, PS molecules can take different positions relative to each other and the HAp surface. Variation of the PS molecule position leads to the spectroscopic properties changes but not at the expense of the molecular structure changes.
Aluminum phthalocyanine nanoparticles (nPcAl)
The luminescence spectrum of the implant surface coated by nPcAl has a luminescence peak λem = 682 nm excited by laser radiation λex = 632.8 nm.
At constant exposure to the excitation laser radiation, the peak intensity of luminescence changes over time namely the intensity of the luminescence peak decreases over time (Figure 7). Apparently, depending on the exposure time surface molecules change their position relative to each other and the surface structure of HAp, leading to spectroscopic properties changes.
It should be noted that the process is reversible therefore structural change of the PS molecule or dye burnout are impossible.
Thus, the interaction of the nanoparticles with surface structure of the implant takes place through the surface molecules. In its turn, the surface molecules may take a different position with respect to the surface structure of HAp. Therefore, the surface covered with PS nanoparticles changes spectroscopic properties depending on the interaction forces, location and environment of the surface PS molecules, but not because of molecular structure changes.
Thus, the research has proved possibility to activate the nanoparticles covered the implant surface. Activity level of nanoparticles was estimated by the control of photoluminescence intensity. There was also found the strong interaction between the surface molecules of PS nanocrystals and HAp surface structure providing a strong grip.
The analysis of the luminescence spectra dynamics for the both types of crystalline nanoparticles showed that initially in photoactive PS nanocrystals acquire the ability to luminescence by reaction with HAp surface molecules. But the luminescence intensity varies over time under the influence of the exciting laser radiation. Based on this research it was concluded that the PS nanoparticles interact both among themselves and with a complex porous structure of the implant. Depending both on the interaction strength and own nanoparticle environment localization, PS molecules can take different positions relative to each other and the HAp surface. Variation of the PS molecule position leads to changing of the spectroscopic properties but not at the expense of the molecular structure changes. The findings of the study suggest this technology promising in order to create implants with photo-bactericidal properties.

There is still no clear indication as to the location or status of the two flight recorders from the Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 which crashed in eastern Ukraine.
Ukrainian deputy prime minister Vladimir Groisman, who is heading the commission investigating the 17 July crash, says there is no information on the location of the recorders.
While access to the recorders would be a "significant step forward" in the inquiry, Groisman's office states that it "does not rule out" the possibility that they have been removed from the site by militants.
Typically the flight recorders are located in the aft fuselage. Both the vertical fin from the 777 and sections of the rear fuselage have been located at the crash site, but there is no confirmation that the recorders are in the vicinity.
Groisman complains that the "exploratory work" being undertaken by the Ukrainian state emergencies service remains "complicated" by the "pressure" from armed personnel.
Ukraine's National Security and Defence Council says the country's authorities "still do not have" the recorders, and has expressed concern that third parties could "distort" the information contained on them.
The supposed governing representative of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic has reportedly said that certain items – possibly including the flight recorders – have been transferred to Donetsk under its control.
Based on several factors including increasing quantities of heavy weapons, among them rocket launchers, crossing the border from Russia to Ukraine over the past month, the US embassy in Kiev has underlined its belief that an SA-11 missile was used to attack MH17 from separatist territory.
Although Ukraine has SA-11 systems, the embassy states: "We are confident no Ukrainian air defence systems were within range of the crash. Ukrainian forces have also not fired a single surface-to-air missile during the conflict, despite often complaining about violations of their airspace by Russian military aircraft."
Groisman believes that the SA-11 requires in-depth military knowledge to operate. "I will never believe that the average gunman can use an [SA-11] system," he says.

Fatte's Pizza, the Central Coast sensation had their ribbon cutting on August 14th, 2018. Co-owners Kayla Hagood and Ryan Broussard picked Fresno to open their new business because they would get many calls from the 559 area code placing orders when visiting the coast.
Thank goodness for that! It's delicious and very inexpensive! Did I mention they make their Ranch Dressing from scratch…YES…from scratch!!
Fresno City Council President, Esmeralda Soria was there to welcome them along with Deputy District Director, Shannon Major with State Senator Tom Berryhill, and Jose representing Congressman Jim Costa.
Fatte's Pizza is a franchise that began on the Central Coast, originating in the San Luis Obispo area during the 70's. Both Ryan Broussard, who worked at the Grover Beach location since 2004 and Kayla Hagood, who also worked for Fatte's on the coast, chose Fresno as their new home.
"A lot of people from the Central Valley vacation in the Central Coast. They frequently asked when will Fatte's Pizza make its way to Fresno?" said Ryan Broussard. That is when he decided Fresno would be the location he would make the next Fatte's Pizza Place. He chose this west Shaw Avenue location being that it was previously a pizza place and had all the necessary equipment.
Fatte's Pizza – 2767 West Shaw Avenue, Fresno, CA 93711 – (559) 374-5555

With 5 grams of fiber per serving, starting your day with a hearty bowl of oatmeal is sure to set you on the right track. A study published in the Nutrition Journal found that participants who consumed oatmeal on a regular basis experienced a drop in bad cholesterol (and waist size!) due to their increased fiber intake.
4. Bell Peppers
Per 100 g: 2.1 g fiber
"Although salad has a lot of antioxidants and vitamins in it, they usually don't have that much fiber," says Jessica Crandall, a Denver-based RD, Certified Diabetes Educator, and National Spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. "Salad add-ons like bell peppers, cucumbers, and celery are much better sources."
5. Chia Seeds
Per 1 oz: 34.4 g fiber
Anything with greater than 5 grams of fiber per serving is considered high. One ounce of chia seeds has double that amount! Sprinkle a spoonful of these nutrient-rich seeds into smoothies, yogurt, or on top of salads to boost your fiber intake and reap the digestive benefits. We've also curated the Best Chia Seed Recipes on Instagram for even more ideas!
6. Flax Seeds
Per 100 g: 30 g fiber
Although they're not quite at chia seed status, whole flaxseeds offer up 5.6 grams per two tablespoons—which is actually more than those two bites of broccoli can claim. Use them just as you would chia seeds by sprinkling over salads or mixing into yogurt for a super-satiating snack.
7. Barley
Per 100 g: 15.6 g fiber
Incorporate this healthy grain into soups and stews, or even feature it as a side dish with some added spices. One cup of cooked barley has 6 grams of the gut-filling nutrient, which can help fight heart disease. "Dietary fiber helps you extract and remove cholesterol, which is correlated with heart disease," explains Crandall. On the flip side, be sure to avoid these 30 Worst Foods For Your Heart!
8. Brown Rice
Per 1 cup: 3 g fiber
As a general rule of thumb, it's almost always best to steer clear of white, processed foods. One cup of cooked white rice contains a measly half gram of fiber versus it's brown counterpart, which clocks in at over three times the amount with an average of 3.5 grams of fiber per cup.
9. Artichokes
Per 100 g: 5.4 g fiber
Unfortunately, spinach artichoke dip will never make it onto any diet-friendly list—but some of its main ingredients certainly do. One medium artichoke boasts an impressive 10.3 grams of fiber and incorporating it into your diet may aid weight loss efforts. "I believe the weight loss benefits associated with greater fiber intake are tied to feelings of fullness and satiety," says Crandall. That's why you better get the inside scoop on the 25 Foods That Make You Hungrier!
10. Lentils
Per 1 cup: 20.5 g fiber
Beans and legumes will always be standouts in this category. One cup of lentils serves up a massive 15.6 grams of fiber, which can help keep your energy steady throughout the day. "Fiber helps to keep our blood sugars more stable, so that we're not feeling highs and lows in our energy levels," says Crandall.
11. Black Beans
Per 1 cup: 30.1 g fiber
Yes, the grammar school rhyme is right—beans are great for your heart, thanks to their 15 grams of fiber per cup, which work to lower bad cholesterol and fight against heart disease. "Beans are a great source of nutrition—they're high in protein and fiber, so don't forget about them! Add them to your salad at lunch or add them to a dish at dinner," says Crandall. They're also on celeb trainer Mark Langowski's list of 15 Favorite Foods for Flat Abs and a component of his new book Eat This, Not That! For Abs.
12. Green Peas
Per 1 cup: 4 g fiber
You may have pushed them around your plate as a kid—but that stops now. These little green poppers contain a hefty 7 grams of fiber per cup! "I highly suggest trying to micromanage your meals so that you get 7-10 grams of fiber at each meal," says Crandall. 7 grams? Easy, pea-sy.
13. Blackberries
Per 1 cup: 7.6 g fiber
Like it's pretty little sister, raspberries, blackberries contain 8 grams of fiber per cup, towering over strawberries and blueberries (which contain less than half that amount). Make sure to keep these dark-hued berries where you can see them; you'll be more likely to reach for them when sweet cravings kick in. "I store all my fruits and vegetables at eye level to make sure that i'm consuming them on a regular basis," says Crandall. Keeping healthy foods in sight (and unhealthy ones out of sight!) is on our list of The 50 Best Weight-Loss Tips.
14. Pears
Per 100 g: 3.1 g fiber
One medium pear contains around 5.5 grams of fiber, but in order to get all those grams you need to keep the skin in tact because that's where most of the nutrient is concentrated. This same rule applies to apples, potatoes, and even that white stuff you love to pick off of oranges after you've peeled the outer layer off!
15. Avocado
Per 100 g: 6.7 g fiber
It's not the spinach leaves that are going to fill you up, but rather that creamy avocado you slice on top of them. On average, one medium avocado contains around 10-13 grams of filling fiber and adding it to your meals or finding a few awesome avocado recipes can increase satiety tremendously.
16. Sugar Snap Peas
Per 1 cup: 2 g fiber
Rather than grabbing a bag of chips or pretzels, spend a few minutes at night throwing together a small bag of portable and affordable veggies. Cherry tomatoes, snap peas, and mini bell peppers are all great snack options but the satisfying, crunchy snap peas contain 5 grams of fiber per one cup serving.
17. Whole Wheat Pasta
Per 100 g: 3.9 g fiber
Not all pastas are created equal; some are actually pretty good for you! "I really have people look at their brands and read their labels to determine what is considered a good source of fiber because it really is going to vary from brand to brand," says Crandall. On average, whole wheat pastas contain 6.3 grams of fiber per one cup cooked serving but find out The #1 Best Pasta for Your Body before your next trip to the supermarket.
18. Figs
Per 100 g: 2.9 g fiber
Dried or whole, figs are a very portable and very palatable source. One little, dried fig contains nearly one gram of fiber and about 20 calories. Mix a few in a bag with some nuts, and you've got yourself a healthy and wholesome snack for when you're on-the-go and starting to run out of fuel.
19. Chickpeas
Per 100 g: 12.2 g fiber
One quarter-cup serving of chickpeas contains nearly 9 grams of fiber. So, pouring some over your salad will help you hit your daily requirements with minimal effort. Just be sure to keep portions small so that you don't overload on calories, especially when they are not the main event of your meal; a ¼ cup serving contains close to 200 calories in total. And don't miss these 20 Amazing, Surprising Ways to Eat Chickpeas for more ways to get your fiber from these garbanzo guys.
20. Dates
Per 100 g: 7.5 g fiber
While these small, squishy treats may not make a regular appearance on your grocery list, perhaps it's time they start. One medjool date offers your body an average of 1.6 grams of energy-boosting fiber. Like figs, you can mix this dried fruit with some nuts (like almonds or walnuts) for a filling afternoon snack that's rich in protein, healthy fats, and fiber.
21. Popcorn
Per 1 oz: 4.3 g fiber
When you think of whole grains, chances are this movie theater favorite doesn't come to mind—although it should. Since popcorn is considered a whole grain, it consequently is relatively decent in fiber with around 5 grams per four-cup serving. Just be sure to stick to air-popped to avoid unwanted calories and scary chemicals. We recommend these 20 Delicious Ways to Dress Up Popcorn.
22. Acorn Squash
Per 1 cup: 2.1 g fiber
This wintery squash not only features a subtle, sweet taste, but one cup mashed provides your body with 6 grams of satiating fiber. Plus, acorn squash is also an excellent source of vitamin C—one serving provides about 20 percent of your daily needs—which is important for your immunity.
23. Sweet Potato
Per 1 sweet potato: 3.9 g fiber
"Fiber has no magical fat-burning properties; simply put, it helps you feel full without adding a lot of extra calories to your diet," explains Crandall. "When you have a baked potato (with skin) instead of a bag of potato chips, for example, you're not only eating fewer calories, but you're less likely to feel hungry again an hour later." Sweet potatoes, in particular, boast around 6 grams of fiber per large baked potato for only 160 calories.
24. Parsnips
Per 1 cup: 6.5 g fiber
They may be unfamiliar to you now, but this root vegetable is worth getting to know. Parsnips are closely related to the carrot family and one cup (sliced) of this mildly sweet veggie contains a steady 7 grams of fiber. Try roasting parsnips as you would potatoes, or dice up and toss into a veggie stew to help kill off hunger pangs.
25. Apple
Per 1 cup: 3 g fiber
Apples may trail behind pears in this category, but they're still a good way to sneak more fiber into your day—as long as you don't peel them! One medium apple contains around 4.4 grams of the belly-friendly nutrient and can help ward off junk food cravings between meals. Bonus: Apples are one of the 30 Healthiest Foods for Women!
26. Bran Flakes
Per 1 cup: 5 g fiber
If you're not a warm porridge person in the morning, fear not. A bowl of bran flakes can provide you with nearly 6 grams of fiber. Skip the raisin bran and add-in your own fruit to keep sugar counts under control and fiber totals even higher.
27. Split Peas
Per 100 g: 25.5 g fiber
Yep, they're different than green peas even when they look the same! With over 16 grams of fiber in one cup, a serving of split peas will get you to that recommended 10 gram meal mark and then some. You can stick with the age-old classic split pea soup, or use this as an opportunity to look up some fun new recipes and experiment in the kitchen.
28. Almonds
Per 100 g: 13.3 g fiber
Nuts and seeds are always great while you're on the go and usually pretty affordable. Snack on almonds, which have an average of 3.5 grams of fiber per one-ounce serving and are a convenient way to supplement your fiber intake slowly throughout the day.
29. Oranges
Per 1 cup: 4.3 g fiber
Yes, fiber is one of the benefits of bananas, but a medium banana only contains 3 grams versus one large orange with 4.4. If you can resist picking off every last bit of that pesky white stuff on the orange segments, you'll retain more of the waist-whittling nutrient.
30. Whole Grain Bread
Per 1 slice: 2 g fiber
One slice of a true whole grain bread can contain around 5 or 6 grams of fiber. Recently, though, brands are doubling up on fiber content and boasting over 10 grams per slice in some cases! "When you're looking at your bread, look for that first ingredient that says whole grain," Crandall recommends. "You want to stick with whole grain, not multigrain, which simply means that there are different types of grains present."

I wanted to fetch a single remote branch and then rebase my current working branch against that as I am sharing it with someone. Usually I would just do:
git fetch
git rebase origin/branch_im_working_on
git fetch origin branch_im_working_on
git rebase origin/branch_im_working_on
git rebase origin branch_im_working_on
git fetch
git rebase origin\branch_im_working_on
git fetch and
git fetch origin
origin (you can check remotes by
git remote -v), the two commands work as same.
origin and
git fetch will fetch all the changes from the remotes
origin and
git fetch origin will only fetch the changes from remote
Beside, if you only want to fetch a certain branch from a remote, you can use
git fetch remotename branchname. Such as
git fetch origin branch_im_working_on will only fetch the changes from origin
Assume the commit history looks as below after fetching:
…---A---B---C---D branch_im_working_on
E---F origin/branch_im_working_on
If you want your local changes (commit
C and commit
D) on the top on the
origin/branch_im_working_on (latest commit), any one of the below commands can work as seems:
git rebase origin branch_im_working_on
git rebase origin/branch_im_working_on
git fetch origin branch_im_working_on --rebase
Then the commit history will be:
…---A---B---E---F---C---D branch_im_working_on
But the command
git rebase origin\branch_im_working_on can not be work (for windows OS) since
origin\branch_im_working_on is not a valid branch (neither local branch nor tracking branch).

Odisha Sun Times Bureau
Bhubaneswar, Apr 19:
Minister of State for Energy Pranab Prakash Das Monday launched the Unnat Jyoti by Affordable LEDs for All (UJALA) scheme in Odisha.
With the launching of the scheme, Odisha became the 14th state in the country to adopt UJALA initiative.
"We have around 60 lakh consumers in the state. Domestic consumers are eligible to buy 10 bulbs each while 20 will be provided to commercial consumers. However, institutions will be able to buy as per requirement. We have plans for replacing six crore bulbs. These bulbs last 25 times more than conventional bulbs and 90% energy efficient in comparison to ordinary bulbs and 50% in comparison to CFL bulbs," said Das speaking at the launching of the scheme in the state.
The scheme implemented by Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL) – a joint venture of NTPC Limited, PFC, REC and POWERGRID is set up by the Union Ministry of Power to facilitate implementation of energy efficiency projects.
Under the scheme, consumers are eligible to buy 9W LED bulb at Rs 85 each.
The scheme permits domestic consumers to buy a maximum of 10 LED bulbs for Rs 85 each, which would cost in the market Rs 310 each.
Similarly, commercial consumers are eligible to buy a maximum of 20 LED bulbs while institutions are eligible to buy a maximum of 50 LED bulbs under the scheme.
The LED bulbs provided under this scheme are of a superior quality and come with a life of over 25,000 hours.
EESL provides free of cost replacement for all technical faults within three years.
To avail the scheme, a customer needs to provide a copy of latest electricity bill along with a copy of ID proof.

I love watching clothes from the movies, cause you don't have to consider a lot of things you have to consider in real life – like practicality, washing, how many years can I wear this, will the style be good for another 5 years, you know – that stuff.
Even historical movies can be a lot of fun….for example Miss Kitty at the Longbranch saloon wore the most outlandish things for the 1880's.
Those would put any 1950 bullet bra to shame.
From Dolly Levi of the 1960's:
Doesn't look the same as the Dolly Levi of the 2010's:
When you do something for a movie, and in particular a fantasy movie you come up with such delicious stuff as…..
Red Slippers:
Fabulous Capes:
Outlandish Eveningwear:
Really Slick (even to the touch) Menswear:
Or even a woman in red:
So when a new version of Wizard of Oz shows up, how fun it will be to see the costumes:
The sad thing here is that the movie may not be the best, and therefore everything else suffers. The costumes could be stellar, but because the main movie isn't a hit, not many folks will see it.
I'll probably wait till it gets to pay for view, but I'm still going to enjoy seeing these and how someone creatively translated the Wicked Ole Witch, Glinda, Dorothy (I'm not even sure there is a Dorothy in this version) and of course Oz.

We were pretty excited to go to Wind Cave and check it out, since it's known to have different types of formations than other caves we've explored. As mentioned in our previous post, we got caught in a bison jam at Custer State Park, so we didn't get to the cave as early as planned (9am was the goal), but still got there around 10am and took the 11:20am Fairgrounds Tour.
A bit about Wind Cave ~ discovered in 1881 by the White Settlers, used by the Native Americans prior to that as sacred ground, Wind Cave was established as a national park in 1903 ~ the first cave in the national park system. Currently Wind Cave itself is 138 miles – we say "currently" since there is still underground exploration to find new passageways. The name Wind Cave comes from the great gusts of wind coming out of the natural entrance (photo below) ~ and yes, this was the original entrance where people entered to explore the cave.
Wind Cave is known for three specific types of cave formations: popcorn, frostwork and boxwork.
These are the popcorn formations which is small nodes that grow in limestone caves – they look like popcorn, thus the name:
We enjoyed the tour very much ~ cost of tours range from $7 - $9 per adult, but we again used our VIP card and our tour was free. Regardless, even if we had to pay, we could have gone on a Wind Cave tour. We plan to head to Jewel Cave in a couple weeks, which is a very different cave than Wind Cave, so it will be fun to compare the similarities and differences.
Easy and affordable - no matter where you are!

Not the greatest picture of the kites but I tried to capture a few of them with my little camera for the boys. They did four special kite performances which were coordinated to music. It was so funny to watch Benjamin rocking out to AC DC and the other rock music while Jack seemed most interested during the classical performances. Our boys are so different but both so great!
The boys were such love bugs!

Smartphones have kept on using the same old 16 GB of storage at the high-end with an option for 32 GB for $100 more, and it seems long overdue that OEM's start offering more storage for the same price as before, and also higher storage options, as the storage base line increases.
Meizu is the first company to start offering 128 GB of storage for its Meizu MX3, in addition to already being a feature packed device with an Exynos 5 Octa chip and a 15:9 1,800 x 1,080 display.
Why are we starting to see this now? Because prices for smartphone components drop by 30 percent per year, putting the price of storage even this year at $60 for 128 GB, which means OEM's could offer 64 GB for an extra $50 (with a little profit for themselves), and 128 GB for an extra $100. Compare that to how most of them charge $100 for only 32 GB more, which is 4x less than they could offer.
In the past few years, I wasn't so concerned OEM's increasing storage space, because there were other components that had to be improved first (such as moving to 720p resolutions, then 1080p, or using better cameras and so on). But 16 GB, and even 32 GB is starting to seem too low these days when some OEM's (like Google/Motorola) don't even include microSD cards with their phones, and cameras are starting to use higher resolutions for both stills and videos, which means much less fits in the same space.
Then there are also the apps which have continued to increase in size, and the operating systems themselves, which can take from ~2 GB installed with all the apps, to 8 GB or more (like Samsung's Touchwiz/Nature UX).
Put all of these together, combined with the much lower cost of flash storage these days compared to a few years ago, and you can easily see why all OEM's need to start offering at least 32 GB by default to all of their devices from mid-range to high-end (possibly even offering 64 GB by default for flagships, with 128 GB options), in 2014.

An animal cruelty investigation has been launched after three alpacas were found beaten to death on a farm in Buckinghamshire.
Two were attacked in their shelter on January 6 and the third was found dead the next day in Little Kingshill, near Great Missenden.
A spokeswoman for the RSPCA described the killings as a "sickening act of cruelty".
The owners of the animals, Lesley and Andrew Sapsford, are said to be heartbroken and are now worried for the safety of 80 other alpacas they keep.
Mrs Sapsford said: "We can't believe that anybody would be so cruel. We're so worried about our other alpacas now. We can't process the evilness of it all.
"At this time of year there isn't any grass on the field so we feed them concentrate, which means they would have seen someone coming onto the field thinking that they were going to be fed.
"Our alpacas have never been treated badly by a human before. We're so worried about our other alpacas now. Whoever has done this could do it again.
"If anyone saw anything, heard our alpacas screaming, saw any strange cars, anything at all which would give us a lead, please report it to the RSPCA or the police."
Two of the alpacas were pregnant and found dead in their shelter last Saturday.
The following day a four-month-old alpaca named Ragamuffin was also found dead in the shelter.
A post-mortem examination carried out by a vet showed that they had all suffered blunt force trauma.
RSPCA inspector Rachel Smith said: "This is a sickening act of cruelty which has left the owners devastated. It is very concerning that someone would think it acceptable to do this to an animal."

We may agree that Bitcoins cannot change the world but the technology that there is behind it, it may actually change it.
At least that's what the World Economic Forum (a group that is well known for its annual meeting in Davos and includes various members of the global financial elite), claimed in the report that they released some days ago. Specifically the report said: "Our findings suggest this technology has the potential to 'live-up to the hype' and reshape financial services, but requires careful collaboration with other emerging technologies, regulators, incumbents and additional stakeholders to be successful." But what exactly is the blockchain technology and what does it do? The blockchain technοlogy, that is also known as distributed ledger technology that powers the bitcoin, is the secure database that records all bitcoin transactions and allows them to occur. While it's secure, it doesn't need to be centrally controlled and that is actually the innovation that the World Economic Forum believes that it could change financial services worldwide. According to their report the past 3 years 1.4 billion dollars has been invested in blockchain technοlogy. The New York Times stated that the specific report is actually a huge step toward legitimizing the technοlogy behind bitcoin in the financial mainstream.

PenMount Delivers Superior User Experience
05/24/2018 | Bulletin No : PMY18005
PenMount projected capacitive (PCI or PCAP) touch controllers provide the most adaptive, accurate, touch solution for superior functionality across a wide range of applications.
PenMount controller solutions are exemplified by a wealth of features, advanced adaptive capability, and ease of use tools that enhance the touch control capabilities and user experience of our customers' products. PenMount's design philosophy rejects cumbersome manual operations in favor of touch solutions based on an intelligent auto-detecting methodology that integrate effortlessly into whatever environment or utilization you require. We have two additional uniquely adaptive features on the PenMount PCAP controller:
Proprietary PenMount frequency hopping algorithms identify real-time noise and automatically select the most suitable operating frequency.
The PenMount System Reference 'SR' feature identifies real-time influence of environmental temperature changes and adjusts accordingly.
In order to achieve the same level of functionality, many of our peers require touch products be shipped to their location for custom firmware adjustment and replacement of hardware components. This is a slow, expensive, and reactionary approach that sometimes does not address the real world challenges seen in the field. Our customers are often surprised their products need not be sent to PenMount and appreciate the ease of PenMount touch module integration.
The PenMount team provides custom service our peers cannot match. In addition to offering the most intuitive and easy to use parameters on the market, the PenMount team is ready to fulfill customer requests on a one-off basis. We can add encryption, multiple monitors, and much more to your project or write SDKs to more fully integrate PenMount functionality into your custom application.
PenMount provides the most powerful and accurate touch controllers on the market. We create advanced functionality that is convenient and adaptive to meet the needs of our customers. If you have any questions or product inquires, you are welcome to contact us for more information.

This is one of my favorite recipes because 1) I love Indian food and 2) I can make it my the crock-pot (with whom I have a serious love affair). I get home from work around 6:30 PM, so finding meals that are easy to throw together are key for me. This tikka masala is perfect because I can assemble the majority of the the recipe the night before, and then JB adds the chick'n strips and turns the crockpot on low before he leaves for work. Dinner is ready by the time I get home. The only thing left for me to do is dish some rice onto my plate, pour my portion of the tikka masala on top, and munch. I found this recipe when I was still a vegetarian and replaced the chicken with tofu. As I transitioned into being vegan, I wasn't ready to let this recipe go. I experimented. I substituted the dairy with coconut and soy-based alternatives, added a green bell pepper, and cut the onions in large slices instead of dicing them. I can't speak to my version's authenticity, but I can tell you this: it tastes unbelievable. Without further adeu, here it is:
Serves 8
- 2 bags meatless chick'n strips (I like Beyond Meat and Gardein)
- 1 yellow onion, sliced into half moons
- 1 green bell bell pepper, cut into strips
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated (I use Gourmet Gardin because I am lazy)
- 1 (29 oz) can tomato puree
- 1½ cups plain unsweetened soy or coconut yogurt (I used So Delicious Cultured Coconut Milk)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Garam Masala
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- ½ tablespoons paprika
- 2 teaspoons salt
- ¾ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¾ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper (use 1 if you're not a fan of spicy foods)
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 cup light coconut milk
- ½ tablespoon cornstarch
- Serve over rice (I prefer basmati)
- Garnish with chopped cilantro
- Mix together the onion, green pepper, garlic, ginger, tomato puree, yogurt, olive oil, Garam Masala, cumin, paprika, salt, cinnamon, pepper, and cayenne in the insert of your slow cooker. Once well combined and smooth, add chick'n pieces, and toss to coat.
- Add the bay leaves.
- Cover and cook for 6 hours on low (3 hours on high).
- Whisk together the coconut milk with the cornstarch. During the last 20 minutes of cooking, stir in the coconut milk mixture. Cover and continue to cook for 20 minutes.
- Serve over rice. Garnish with cilantro if desired.
Notes: This recipe was adapted from Dinners, Dishes, and Deserts.
Sometimes, depending on our work schedules, this dish has cooked in the crock pot up to 8 hours on low. The top can get a little crusty, but JB and I just stir it in and eat anyway. We're monsters.
If you're looking for more vegan Indian dishes to try, I strongly recommend Isa Chandra Moskowitz's chana masala. I've also had Vegan Richa's Indian Kitchen sitting in my Amazon cart for months, waiting for my budget to work itself out – if anyone has purchased it and has an opinion, I'd love to hear it! The reviews seem to speak for themselves.
If you give this recipe a try, I'd love to know what you think!

Emily was the 1st person I ever admitted to that I thought I was an alcoholic....I remember mamaof3 was a big contributor at that time and she provided her experience, strength & hope along with Emily. It was a Godsend!!!!! Those 2 women gave me the strength, willingness and "push" to go to my first 12 step meeting back in December 2009. I found AA to be an incredible fellowship of people who really "got" what I was going through....I had never experienced anything like that before...I was hooked! Many of you know my story....I stayed sober for 10 months with the help of my group, relapsed in Oct. 2010 for one day, then had 2 more single days of relapse and came back into the program in December 2010......again, stayed sober for another 10 months and then relapsed again 3 single days....after that I decided I needed to check into inpatient treatment and I did so on 12/2/11.....I had been sober for 3 days - thought about checking into rehab drunk off my ass, but what was the point when it would only totally piss off my totally supportive husband and prolong my stay because I had to go through detox....not worth it to me....but sober or not, I had to spend 3 days in detox and that was an eye-opening experience for me - I had 4 other roommates that were all detoxing from different drugs and it was REALLY scary to me....rehab was good - I stayed for 22 days - one of the best experiences of my life! Got out, came home, family was happy, I was happy, I went back to my Homegroup 5 days a week, got a sponsor, started working the steps and life was great.......I stayed sober, happily, for 22 months....Sobriety was awesome - something that I never thought I could have - those 22 months with my husband and my 2 boys were the best of my life! At 22 months, I decided in my own brain that I was totally tired of going to the same homegroup meetings everyday at noon and hearing the "same" stories from the "same" people day in and day out - hell.....I could skip the meeting and tell you what so & so said! I wasn't willing to take action.....Then the damn vodka was screamed my name!!! And there it came my 3rd relapse.....of course, I lied to my husband over the phone that night he was out of town on business...."I have NOT been drinking!!!! I can't believe you are even accusing me of it!!!!" .......well, you know the deal - I had been drinking :( The next day I admitted to him what he already knew to be true and I got the MOST vicious response I've ever gotten from him - it was all over the phone as he was still out of town on business, but he told me to SHUT UP & HE DIDN'T WANT TO HEAR ANYMORE LIES OUTTA MY LYING MOUTH!!!.....that totally startled me - he went on to say that he was done - he couldn't take anymore from me and my drinking - keep in mind, he has been totally & utterly supportive though 7 one day relapses in the past 4 years - not bad for an alkie, but how much can I really, honestly ask him to put up with before he gives me the boot???? He went on to advise me that he was contacting an attorney and having divorce papers drawn up.....he wasn't going to file them just yet.....instead, he was going to put them on a shelf in our home where I could see them everyday - as a reminder of what's to come if I drink again.....I have to admit, that totally rocked my world and scared the shit outta me, but I am at the point that I want my sobriety back for myself more so than for anyone else! Whether I'm with my husband and the boys or not, I want my sobriety back for ME!!!!
So I decided to be willing enough to go back into inpatient treatment....this time, not to a place right in my backyard.....I decided on Hazelden in Minnesota....and no, I hate cold weather - but I want to go there for the right reasons for me - not for a mini-vacation. My addiction counselor agreed and we began the process of setting everything up - she said that I had excellent insurance coverage and that I should look at it as a sign from my Higher Power that this is what I should do.....I took the plunge - I'm ready to surrender - FINALLY - after 4 years - I am willing to take whatever suggestions I am given from her and the other women in my homegroup - I do what they suggest cuz my ways & ideas are obviously NOT working!!!! Through preliminary phone calls, Hazelden tells me that all is good....we gather the boys and tell them that I'm going away again for 30 days - this time to a different state - but that it is all because Mom knows that she needs some help and is not afraid to admit it and ask for it....they were very understanding, supportive & loving - sad that I won't be here for Thanksgiving, but happy that I'm getting the help I need. An hour later, I do my 1 hr intake phone call with Hazelden - at the end, she throws out there her personal opinion that "I'm not that bad" and that "insurance may not cover the stay".....I began to craze!....but paused, quieted myself and told myself that God's Will for me would come through in the end.....fast forward to today.....my intake counselor called me again this morning and asked me to elaborate a bit for my need for inpatient treatment....I told her that I wasn't gonna lie about the last time I took a drink, that I was hanging on by going to 3 meetings a day in the interim (before getting into treatment) and that my husband travels a lot and my kids' schedules are crazy busy with school and sports which lends absolutely no time for me to focus on myself.....that was why I believed that 30 days of inpatient treatment would benefit me the most.....so now I sit and wait to hear back from them....I will admit that I'm a mess - I mean, I became willing to do this and leave my family again - FOR ME!!!.....we told the boys last nite...my plane ticket there is already booked & paid for this Saturday.....and NOW they are telling me that they don't know if my insurance company agrees that I'm "that bad" to require inpatient treatment....AYE-YI-YI!!!! But I'm not drinking over this little hiccup - not worth it - not gonna change anything - I can't control the outcome....I'll just wait and see what they have to say....patiently :)
Recovery is not an easy street by any means, but NEVER give up HOPE!!!! Even if they deny insurance coverage, I will proceed in a manner that enhances my recovery in some way or another - whether it be an intensive outpatient program or just continuing 3 meetings a day, working with my sponsor, growing my relationship with my higher power (which I believe is a crucial missing link) and doing the next right thing. I will NOT let this "possible" denial of inpatient treatment stop me from being a happy & free recovering alcoholic!
Love you Em & thanks so much for sharing with your readers.....I feel so much better :) Best to get all this crap out of our head instead of keeping it inside to fester and eventually cause us to return to the drink.

The River to River Trail Society is pleased to announce the publication of its new official online guide to the entire River-to-River Trail. The Trail Guide is now available to all without charge on the Society's website at rivertorivertrail.net, simply by going to the site and then clicking on "Trail Information." Users will have the option of downloading and printing either the entire guidebook, or only those pages covering a particular section of the trail in which they are interested. In addition, users may also download the guide to their smart devices, because the guide is fully hyper-linked for easy navigation. The Trail Guide is intended for both hikers and horsemen, and should prove essential reading to both alike.
The River-to-River Trail stretches 157 miles across Southern Illinois, from Elizabethtown on the Ohio River to Grand Tower on the Mississippi. Following a three year effort to generate updated and accurate maps, and a 2017 re-marking of the entire route, the River-to-River Trail has become one of the premier long distance hiking and equestrian trails in the Midwest. The River to River Trail can provide a boost to outdoor recreation and tourism in Southern Illinois. The new guidebook is being issued by the Society as a part of the same project, and contains maps of up-to-the-minute accuracy.
This is the fifth edition of the Trail Guide, and is the first to be offered free online. It is also the first revision of the guidebook since 2011. The online format provides the Society with the means to keep the Trail Guide constantly up to date, as changes are made in the route of the Trail or new information becomes necessary or available. The 140 pages of the guidebook contain seventeen chapters detailing each section of the Trail, including the historic eastern section beginning at Battery Rock, as well as chapters on trail safety, equestrian use of the trail, and use of online hiking maps.
The maps of all sections of the Trail have been brought up-to-date and checked for accuracy. The information on points of interest near the Trail has been greatly expanded. New to the guidebook are charts showing mileage and changes in elevation along the Trail The guidebook is copiously illustrated with maps and photographs throughout.
Society Vice President William Gilmour of Metropolis, Illinois is the author of the new edition, with assistance from several other members of the Society. Shawn Gossman, of hikingwithshawn.com, contributed a chapter on trail safety and Keith Kibler, of the Shawnee Trail Conservancy, contributed a separate chapter on riding the trail on horseback. The Society is grateful to the staff of the Shawnee National Forest for their assistance with the maps, and to our advertisers for permitting the Trail Guide to be offered in a format that makes it free to all.
For Shuttle service along the trail, or for guided hikes anywhere in Shawnee Forest Country try Bart Lane's Shawnee Guided hiking tour and shuttle service.
