Do you
have any other suggestions on what I could eat to get my proteins in? Is it o.k. to eat extra lean beef while trying to cut
or is the saturated fat still to high?
- clover asked 2 years ago
he Best Protein Sources
Choose protein sources that are nutrient-rich and lower in saturated fat and calories, such as:
Lean meats
Low-fat dairy
Nuts and seeds
It's a good idea to change up your protein foods. For instance, you could have salmon or other fish that's rich in omega-3s, beans or lentils that give you fiber as well as protein, walnuts on your salad, or almonds on your oatmeal.
How much protein are you getting? Here's how many grams of protein are in these foods:
1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese: 10-14g
3 ounces tofu, firm: 7-13g
1/2 cup cooked lentils: 9g
2 tablespoons natural-style peanut butter or almond butter: 6-8g
3 oz skinless chicken breast: 25g
3 oz fish fillet (depending on type of fish): 17-20g
1 ounce cheese: 7g
1/2 cup cooked kidney beans: 7g
1 ounce nuts: 4-7g
1 large egg: 6g
4 ounces low-fat plain yogurt: 6g
4 ounces soy milk: 5g
4 ounces low-fat milk: 4g
Carbs and Fats
While you're adding protein to your diet, you should also stock up on "smart carbs" such as:
Whole grains
Beans and legumes (both also have protein)
Low-fat milk and yogurt (both have protein)
Also try healthy fats such as:
Nuts and natural-style nut butters
Extra virgin olive oil and canola oil
To help manage your appetite, it also helps to split your daily calories into four or five smaller meals or snacks.

Animal-based sources (meat, eggs, dairy) pack them all in one amount or another, but most plant-based sources only contain a fraction of the nine essential amino acids, meaning that if you get all your plant-based protein from peas, you could end up not getting enough of certain amino acids, explains study co-author Rajavel Elango, a nutrition and metabolism researcher with the University of British Columbia's School of Population and Public Health. When getting protein from plant-based sources, it's important to munch on various protein-rich plants at every meal to help guarantee you get all of the amino acids you need by day's end.
FYI, that's not an excuse to forgo your veggies and get your protein fix from T-bone steaks at breakfast, lunch and dinner. After all, (and this is our "second of all") that would easily put you over the top in terms of your caloric, saturated fat and cholesterol intake. That protein plan would backfire big time.
Third of all – and this might be the most important reason to choose your protein sources wisely – every food packages protein alongside its own brand of vitamins and minerals, Elango says. Some sources are rich in B vitamins; others in iron, and some aren't rich in anything at all. Remember: Your body can't do much with protein if you're deficient in essential nutrients.
Want to make sure you're getting your protein from all of the right places? Here are some of the healthiest protein-packed foods you can eat:
They don't just contain 6 grams of protein each. They contain 6 of the most valuable grams of protein around, says registered dietitian nutritionist Bonnie Taub-Dix, a U.S. News Eat + Run blogger, owner of the nutrition consultancy Better Than Dieting and author of "Read It Before You Eat It." Eggs rate the highest in terms of their "biological value," the proportion of protein that, when eaten, helps form proteins and tissues in your body. Plus, they're rich in choline as well as vitamins B-12 and D, all of which are critical to keeping your energy levels up and cells humming along as they should. And there might not be a heart-health downside to eating them, after all. According to research published in the British Journal of Medicine, you can eat an egg a day without increasing your heart disease or stroke risk.
Cottage Cheese
Perhaps the most underrated cheese known to man, cottage cheese contains 25 grams of protein and 18 percent of your daily calcium needs in a single cup, says registered dietitian Jim White, spokesman for the Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics and owner of Jim White Fitness training studios in Virginia. Also noteworthy: It's rich in casein, the slowest-digesting protein you can eat, helping fend off hunger for hours.
Poultry should be a staple of any omnivore's protein plan. It contains far less saturated fat than many other cuts of meat, and still contains 30 grams of protein per breast. Opt for white meat whenever possible to keep your calorie count down, Elango says.
Whole Grains
These heart-healthy grains contain more protein than complex carbs (which are vital to your fiber intake, heart health and weight-loss success). Among the best sources are quinoa, bulgur and freekeh, White says. All contain 6 or more grams per cooked cup, and quinoa is actually one of the few "complete" plant-based proteins out there, meaning it contains all of the nine essential amino acids.
"Low in calories and high in value, fish is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids promoting heart health and stabilizing moods," Taub-Dix says. Plus, they help keep your brain from shrinking as you age, per a 2014 American Journal of Preventive Medicine study. Among the healthiest sources: salmon and tuna. A 3-ounce serving of salmon will score you 17 grams of protein with 6.5 grams of unsaturated fatty acids. And tuna is a straight-up protein powerhouse, with 25 grams in just 3 ounces. Plus, if you're trying to cut calories, it's actually leaner than salmon, containing only 5 grams of total fat (both saturated and unsaturated). Study researchers recommend eating fish twice a week, baked or broiled.
These guys are as rich in protein as they are in heart-healthy fiber. Plus, they're solid sources of B vitamins, according to Elango. Opt for beans, lentils, soybeans (edamame) and peas. Even peas contain 8 grams of protein per cup. Impressive, no?
Greek Yogurt
Perfect for breakfast, snacks or as an ingredient in just about anything, plain, nonfat Greek yogurt contains 17 grams of protein per serving. In case you were wondering, going fat-free won't cut down on how much protein your yogurt contains. "Plain is your best option as fruit flavors can pack in loads of sugar," White says.
They are known for being rich in healthy unsaturated fatty acids, but they've also got a lot of protein going on. Plus, people who eat a handful of nuts per day are 20 percent less likely to die from any cause compared to those who don't eat nuts, according to a 2013 New England Journal of Medicine study.
Leafy Greens
Calorie for calorie, kale, collard greens and other leafy greens are surprisingly rich in protein. For instance, a 70-calorie serving of spinach contains about 10 grams of protein. While greens don't contain all of the amino acids you need, pairing them with beans and legumes can help make them "complete" with the nine essential amino acids.
- forest answered 2 years ago
For protein I eat lean beef, lean pork, chicken, turkey, all kinds of fresh fish, canned fish (tuna, sardines, etc.), egg
whites, fat free cottage cheese, protein drinks, and occasionally I'll have some low fat ham or low fat turkey bacon as
a treat.

A leading international marketer and distributor of agricultural products and specialty chemicals, with more than $3 billion in sales, planned to build its own IP in the precision agriculture space to deliver smart agriculture. The company found a solution in Amazon Web Services (AWS).
The company chose to build an infrastructure on AWS with a highly-available and secure architecture that offered convenient scalability – to deliver required services. Only a scalable, reliable and a user-friendly solution could help meet the needs of its on-field agents and growers.
HARMAN was selected as the partner to deliver the project as a managed service. HARMAN Connected Services initiated engagement by creating a detailed project plan & roadmap. Then, analyzed the current deployment architecture and performed a seamless migration. HARMAN built the Microsoft stack on a secure and scalable AWS cloud infrastructure without any impact on the company's existing business. HARMAN Connected Services also implemented the automation for a backup solution to increase the uptime. HARMAN CloudCare services now provides 24 x 7 as part of the managed services.
After years of delivering a host of cloud migration solutions, HARMAN has assimilated best practices which have helped manage the process across a large number of customer environments. As an advanced consulting partner, HARMAN has a long track record in building and managing AWS-based solutions and has worked with Fortune 500 customers on AWS-led Cloud transformation. HARMAN leverages its team of AWS certified architects and engineers with decades of experience in delivering IT solutions to enterprise customers.
Based on the experience, here are five planning principles to consider when working through a cloud migration on AWS.
- Plan Around the Business Case. Approach a cloud migration to Amazon Web Services Cloud with a customer centric process and an emphasis on outcomes. The effort starts with an emphasis on a comprehensive cloud Strategy and Business Case with a full assessment of applications, infrastructure, processes, and architecture.
- Ensure Business Continuity for Seamless Migration. The last thing customers expect is hindrances in the day-to-day business as a result of a cloud migration. A cloud migration project often involves analyzing the current deployment architecture and performing a seamless migration. Providing managed services during the process and post migration DevOps (Setup Continuous Improvement) including monitoring and support the WFM cloud deployments.
- Manage the Peaks. One of the primary drivers for cloud migration remains being able to manage the ebbs and flows of infrastructure demand. Leveraging its CloudCare™ offerings, in conjunction with tools such as Cloud Formation, AWS APIs, Chef, Jenkins, and Fabric HARMAN has delivered time and again to DevOps and Managed Services for hundreds of machines at a time. Online platform successfully scaled to meet demand at peak usage hours with high scalability.
- Deliver Productivity Advantages. Whatever the driver, the specialized team responsible for the migration should identify productivity advantages from the outset such as Leveraging SaaS platforms like Office, SharePoint, and customer relationship management for business productivity and business process automation. The team should be able to support consolidation, migration, rewrite of existing applications, and new applications development and deployment on cloud. The teams should ensure continuous Delivery of applications and infrastructure made faster with optimization for cloud resident application and infrastructure.
- IT Spend Reduction. At end of the day, specialized teams who are responsible for cloud migration should demonstrate reduction in IT expenditure. It is not uncommon to see IT organizations being able to reduce their IT operations spending by up to 50% with cost savings in millions of dollars per year.
Whether it is data center consolidation or a cloud based business transformation, organizations should consider the team's experience with the process when making decisions. Being able to deliver an end-to-end AWS led solution or managing a cloud enablement project, HARMAN has compiled a host of company case studies and best practices for teams to consider. To review those case studies and to go over the best practices, reach out to firstname.lastname@example.com

In the summer of 2004, I found myself at home on maternity leave with a newborn baby and a lot of sleepless nights. After I went through my entire Tivo'd cache of The Issac Mizrahi Show (seriously, the best talk show ever. I mourn it every day.), I was dying for new TV to watch. And I was rescued by my friend Amy, a tv critic, who had a pile of DVD screeners for the upcoming fall TV season that she was finished with. I can't remember most of them, but I definitely remember my two favorites: House MD and Veronica Mars.
I was a huge fan of Hugh Laurie, so it was no surprise that House would become a favorite. But Veronica Mars? I had no idea and wasn't all that excited about it. It was on UPN, for god's sake. Wasn't that the annoying girl who had been on Deadwood for a minute? And her dad was the guy from Just Shoot Me? Eh, no thanks. I kept putting the DVD at the bottom of the pile.
And then one day I watched the whole thing. And then I watched it again. And that was that.
Yes, I own all three seasons on DVD. And yes, I gave money to the Kickstart campaign. I have my T shirt, and my movie script. I watched the movie on iTunes as soon as it came out. And while I thought it was a bit Logan-heavy and a bit Keith-light, I still loved it.
So really, was there any doubt that I would be reading and loving this book?
Do I even need to write up a complete review?
I do? OK. Well.
The book picks up a few weeks after the ending of the movie. Veronica is back in Neptune, running her dad's office while he recuperates from the big car crash in the movie. It's spring break in Neptune, and all hell breaks loose when a young girl goes missing. Veronica is hired to investigate by the Neptune Chamber of Commerce, and gets her friends Mac and Wallace to help her out. So far, so good.
And then things get interesting. Another girl goes missing, and this one has a connection to Veronica that she didn't expect. I won't spoil it for you, but it creates the necessary conflict, and it moves the story along nicely.
The book completely worked for me: it has plenty of Veronica's trademark wit, lots of cameos from our favorite Neptune residents, and builds on the loving relationship between Veronica and Keith that I adore. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series, and hope this one comes with a lot more Vinnie Van Lowe than we've been given. You really can't have too much.

David Rittich is thought by many to be the favourite for Calgary's backup goaltender job. Now in his second season with the Flames, Rittich had some really strong moments last year playing behind Mike Smith. Unfortunately, Rittich and Jon Gillies both faltered when Smith went down in February. Even knowing that, there's a reason Rittich is the favourite right now: he's Calgary's best backup option.
Looking at Rittich's splits from last year shows he was strong when serving as a backup. When Smith needed a rest on the second half of back-to-back nights, Rittich consistently stepped in and gave the Flames an opportunity to win. Of course, he wasn't able to maintain that level of play once Smith's security blanket was removed from the equation.
|Nov. 25 – Feb. 11
|Feb. 12 – April 7
While it was disappointing to see Rittich fail to rise to the challenge following Smith's injury, the encouraging sign was how he played with Smith carrying the load. Rittich was better than Eddie Lack in that spot and provided Calgary the best backup work they've had in quite some time.
Of course, you can't ignore the disparity in performance last season, either. The Flames are going to need Rittich to carry more of the workload this season, especially if they're serious about reducing Smith's number of starts. They'd also turn to Rittich in the event Smith misses significant time like he has the last three seasons.
Rittich has spoken at length about how much he learned last season, specifically after Smith's injury. If Rittich can use that added knowledge and experience positively, there's reason to be optimistic he's in a better situation to succeed.
Also important to consider, but perhaps of less importance, is Rittich's salary. He signed a one-year, $800,000 contract over the summer, which means Rittich is likely more affordable than any outside option the Flames might look to pursue. If the team meets the high expectations many have for them, the more cap flexibility the better.
On top of that, Rittich will remain a restricted free agent at the conclusion of this one-year deal, which keeps him under team control. Not only is his cap hit very palatable, but the team has most of the leverage when it comes to his immediate contract status, too.
How much is Smith going to play? That's one of the most important questions to ask about Calgary this season, and there really isn't a definitive answer. There are so many variables when having this conversation, but it's fair to assume Rittich would be called upon at least 20 times as the team's backup this year.
That number could easily be higher, too. Smith has missed stretches of time in each of the last three seasons, including a 13-game span last year. And if even if he does stay completely healthy, we have to remember this is a 36-year-old goaltender. To ask Smith to start 65-70 games doesn't sound like a smart bet.
Somewhere in the 55-60 range sounds far more ideal. In theory, that would allow Smith to maintain a higher level of play by eliminating, or greatly reducing, any fatigue worries. Even at the high end of that range, Calgary's backup goalie would still be starting 22 games.
In terms of internal personnel, the Flames have two other realistic options: Gillies and camp invite Jeff Glass (Tyler Parsons probably isn't ready). Based on their NHL numbers last season, it's hard to make the argument either is a definitive upgrade on Rittich.
|Jon Gillies
|Jeff Glass
Gillies had his moments last year and has a ton of natural ability, but to say he's been inconsistent as a pro would be an understatement. Glass, on the other hand, is an outstanding story and an easy guy to cheer for, but didn't exactly slam the door shut in his first 15 NHL games with Chicago. I'm also skeptical the Flames would be able to find a surefire upgrade on Rittich anywhere outside the organization, while also maintaining cap flexibility.
Even if Calgary were to look for outside backup help, whether it be Glass or someone else, doing so would have an unfortunate trickle down. Adding a new goaltender to the mix would push Rittich and Gillies to the American League, while also likely relegating Parsons to the ECHL.
It's simply not an ideal situation and the headache isn't worth the minimal upgrade an outside goaltender would provide, if any.
Here's what we know about Rittich: he did a solid job in a backup role last season, albeit with a limited sample size. What we don't know is whether he'll be able to perform at a higher level if Smith gets injured or if the team actively tries to reduce their starter's workload. But we also don't know that answer with anyone else.
When weighing all the factors above, Rittich just makes the most sense as the team's backup goaltender to start the year. It's up to him to rise to the occasion and, if he doesn't, it's not like Calgary hasn't been in similar situations before.

2017 Monarch Migration Most Delayed on Record
Scientists say 2017 was one of the most delayed monarch migrations ever recorded – due to warmer temperatures – with butterflies spotted far north of the Texas-Mexico border as late as November and December. It's too soon to tell what this means for monarchs in 2018, as results of the monarch overwintering population survey in Mexico are not yet available. It's possible that fewer monarchs were able to complete their long journey to Mexico so late in the season, or that warmer weather actually spurred a "bonus generation" of monarchs. Learn more about the late migration and explore how you can help monarch butterflies by planting native pollinator gardens with ample milkweed, participating in citizen science projects, and reducing pesticide use. Discover ongoing conservation efforts to safeguard these iconic black-and-orange butterflies, including partnerships with farmers, ranchers, and other private landowners that keep working lands working for people and wildlife.

The secret sign of heart risk no one's warned you about—Beat the CREEP that's KILLING you!
Your doc just LOVES tests.
He'll poke you like a pincushion and take so much blood you might think he's selling it. He'll shoot you up with dye and then zap you with imaging tests... and then connect a bunch of wires to you and make you do laps like a hamster on a wheel for a stress test.
Perfectly healthy? Doesn't matter. Ticker in tip-top shape? Doesn't matter. Heck, it doesn't even matter if your heart's beating steady as a rock and keeping time like a metronome.
He'll run all those tests anyway. And for what?
It turns out for NOTHING!
Oh he'll swear to you that all those tests will help him figure out your heart risk. But in reality, they won't figure out squat—because most of them are about as reliable as an old Yugo.
One recent study even proves it, showing that healthy patients who get common heart tests DON'T have better outcomes, DON'T have a lower risk of heart problems and DON'T have better survival.
But there is one test that matters—one test that's better than all the rest put together. It's a test for C-reactive protein, aka CRP.
Or, as I like to call it, "The Creep."
The Creep shows up when you get inflammation, silently lurking, unseen and unfelt, for years before the first warning sign of chronic disease shows up on any of those other tests.
One study found that high CRP will increase your risk of heart attack, stroke and death from heart disease by 52 percent over five years. Another found that The Creep will increase your risk of cancer by 30 percent—and if you have the disease, it'll increase your risk of death from it by 80 percent.
There's even evidence CRP can help predict dementia long before your first brain hiccup.
But your doctor never tests for it.
Trust me when I tell you this is not a time to be shy, your life is on the line. If he doesn't order it, ask for it—DEMAND it—because the results of this test could mean the difference between life and death.
You want a high-sensitivity CRP test, which is so simple you don't even need your doctor to explain the results.
If your score is a 1.0 mg/L or less, you're sitting pretty—because that's pretty much perfect. Below a 3.0 is considered normal, while above is considered high-risk.
And that means it's time to get to work—because you can cut inflammation and chase The Creep away for good, and you can do it without drugs.
All you need are my...
If you're already sick, you can chase The Creep away. If you're not, you can make sure he never darkens your door in the first place. Either way, the answer's the same—focus on boosting your intake of these simple, safe and all-natural remedies available in any decent vitamin shop.
#1) Omega-7: You've heard of omega-3 fatty acids. You probably even know a thing or two about omega-6.
But there's ANOTHER omega out there that your own doc probably doesn't know much about... not yet anyway. But soon, everyone will know about it, because the world-famous Cleveland Clinic has found that omega-7 can cut body-wrecking, disease-causing inflammation and kick The Creep out of your life for good.
In just 30 days, omega-7 supplements in the form of palmitoleic acid could slash your CRP levels by 44 percent.
It can also boost your levels of HDL—the stuff even the mainstream calls the "good" cholesterol—by 5 percent, and cut your levels of deadly triglycerides by 15 percent.
But here's where you've got to be careful. Omega-7 often travels in pairs with a dangerous fat called palmitic acid. Most omega-7 supplements are made from plants, which are highest in this deadly companion.
So look instead for an omega-7 supplement made from fish that's been purified to purge any trace of that palmitic acid.
By the way, omega-3 is no slouch either. Plain old fish oil supplements can slash CRP levels by 29 percent, but you need more than you'll get from a single capsule.
Look for a minimum of 1.6 grams of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. (This is NOT the same as 1.6 grams of fish oil, so be sure to read the label closely.)
#2) Glucosamine and Chondroitin: You know these two. You might already be among the millions who rely on them for pain relief, especially from the pain caused by the wear-and-tear of arthritis on the knees.
But these two can do so much more than ease osteoarthritis.
Arthritis is a disease of inflammation, and glucosamine and chondroitin attack that inflammation like a tiger going after raw meat. As a result, one recent study published in PLoS One finds this powerful pair will cut your CRP levels by nearly a quarter in less than month when compared to a placebo.
All it takes is 1,500 mg a day of glucosamine hydrochloride and 1,200 mg of chondroitin sulfate—or the very same dose proven to be as good as painkillers for improving pain, stiffness and overall function for arthritis of the knees.
#3) Vitamin C: Basic? You bet—but this back-to-basics nutrient just so happens to be a potent antioxidant and inflammation fighter with the power to knock The Creep down for the count.
Just 500 mg a day cut CRP levels by 24 percent over two months, according to one study.
Impressed enough? Don't be. You can do better. A measly 500 mg is practically nothing, and higher levels will undoubtedly lead to some truly impressive dips in inflammation.
I typically recommend between 2 and 6 grams per day for fighting inflammation and giving your immune system the kick in the pants it needs to stay alert. Those levels are safe, but could lead to gas if taken all at once so split it up into three or four doses spread throughout the day.
#4) Your Multivitamin: You ARE taking a multivitamin, right? If you're not, then now's the time to start because the synergy of ingredients in your basic blend of vitamins and minerals is actually a potent inflammation fighter on its own.
The higher your CRP levels, the bigger the benefit from knocking them down.
In one study, HALF of the patients with high CRP levels—levels over 3.0—were brought back to normal levels within 6 months. Those on a placebo actually had INCREASES in their CRP levels.
The average benefit among those on the multi was a reduction of 0.8. But those with higher CRP levels saw much bigger drops. In some cases, patients with sky-high CRP levels of 9 saw their levels plunge all the way down to a picture-perfect 1.0 thanks to that multivitamin.
#5) Dental Floss: One of the first places The Creep of inflammation will hit you is—POW—right in the kisser.
Gum disease is often a sign of system-wide inflammation. It's heart disease waiting to happen, which is why people who have tattered, bleeding gums have a higher risk of heart disease and heart attack.
Not at all coincidentally, periodontal disease increases CRP levels by 14 percent.
Fight back by flossing daily, and then go for the knockout by rinsing with 3 percent hydrogen peroxide.
You can also fight The Creep with food. Strawberries, cherries, olive oil and oatmeal (REAL oatmeal, not the stuff that comes in single-serve envelopes) have all been shown to cut CRP levels, along with plain old vitamin D.
And don't forget the most potent inflammation-fighter of all: sleep.
Poor sleep increases inflammation and raises CRP levels. That means good sleep will bring those levels down—so get your rest, and don't be afraid to take a nap when you need it.

GUILFORD, N.Y. — Sooner or later, police believe Michael Kuchinski will cough up the diamond ring they accuse him of stealing.
C'mon — what's not to like?
Hoof it over to Facebook to join the weird news herd.
- C'mon — what's not to like?
Well, he won't actually cough it up. Because authorities in upstate New York say Kuchinski swallowed the ring.
He allegedly spotted it in a bedroom while delivering furniture.
Sheriff's deputies took him to a hospital, where an X-ray led doctors to determine the ring was inside Kuchinski, it wouldn't hurt him, and it was best to just let it go through the digestive process.
As one sheriff's official puts it, they're waiting for nature to take its course.

I believe Axl Rose said it best back in 1987 – "Take me down to Paradise City where the grass is green and the girls are pretty." This is what I think of when a burlesque shows heads into town. However, you receive so much more, especially with the brand new show 'Texas Star Burlesque' had their first extravaganza in the historic Deep Ellum neighborhood of Downtown Dallas on July Saturday the 14th at Trees. Not only are the people devastatingly beautiful, and while there wasn't green grass inside of Trees, you can sense the paradise and glistening stage and lights that amplified these talented performers. When the music hit the sold-out crowd, the cheers were turned up to 11, and the lights were as bright as they could be, you could feel the sense of joy wonder and excitement between everyone in attendance. It was truly a Paradise City.

Hi everyone, Bryan and Jana here….
George A. Romero 1940-2017
What a sad day this is. Just the other day, I was thinking and hoping that George Romero had one more zombie film in him left. That's not the case as the Godfather of the zombie genre and one of the best filmmakers in the horror genre has died today at the age of 77 from lung cancer. With the past few years, the zombie genre has infiltrated every form of media. The Walking Dead, Resident Evil, and tons zombie epics have come in the forms of comic books, TV shows, films, and video games. There wouldn't be any of this, if it weren't for George Romero who brought us a super small budget film in 1968 called Night of the Flesh Eaters, later changed to Night of the Living Dead, which gave us the zombie we know today.
Hey guys, Jana here,

Hey guys, Jana here,
Powers Boothe
June 1, 1948 – Mar 14, 2017
When great entertainers pass away, it's difficult to come up with the right way to mourn a life that still lives on for us in so many ways. The one way we can not just respect the life, but continue to enjoy the life they lived is with re-watching their movies that cement their presence in our lives.
Audrey E., here….
Ah, the age old question: 'Are we alone in the universe?' In the film 'Life,' a diverse team of astronauts try to find a definitive answer to that query and volunteer for a daring mission to outer space. After successfully retrieving a sample from Mars, they discover a single cell organism amongst it, which could prove the existence of life outside the realm of our planet. The explorers immediately begin conducting scientific experiments on the fast developing extra-terrestrial; affectionately calling it Calvin. However, their fondness is soon erased when the creature suddenly demonstrates it's not there to make friends, and the false sense of confidence it's lured them into could cost them their lives.
Hey guys, Jana here,
I know what I'm giving for Christmas this year, and it's 'The Secret Life of Pets' on 4K Ultra HD!! Illumination Entertainment and Universal Pictures have hit this one way out of the park with 'The Secret Life Of Pets'! It was a favorite of not only my kids, but myself as well. The film comes out on several formats. Beginning November 22, 2016 you can watch it on Digital HD, if you'd prefer to wait for the hard copy, you can pick that up December 6, 2016 on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray, DVD and On Demand.
The Trailer For 'Life' Explores The Question Of If There's Life On Mars!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
'Life' tells the story of a six-member crew of the International Space Station, tasked with studying a sample from Mars that may be the first proof of extra-terrestrial life, which proves more intelligent than ever expected.
Hi everyone, Bryan here…
I've been waiting to travel to Stars Hollow again for a long time and the wait is almost over. Netflix has provided a new trailer for the upcoming mini-series that will air on Netflix November 25th with four brand new 90-minute episodes. Everyone from the original show has come back including Lorelai (Lauren Graham), Rory (Alexis Bledel) and Emily (Kelly Bishop) through all seasons, beginning with winter and ending with fall.
'Gilmore Girls: A Year in The Life' Posters Will Take Your Breath Away!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
We still have one more month to wait before basking in the gloriousness that is 'Gilmore Girls: A Year In The Life' on Netflix, but the benevolent streamer has given us four posters that represent the four seasons we'll be celebrating with Lorelai and Rory. If you're like me you're way past ready to get your Stars Hollow fix on so feast your eyes on the images!
Hey guys, Jana here,
Nickelodeon is celebrating 25 years of Nicktoons and in honor of that benchmark we are getting a one hour movie based on, my favorite, 'Rocko's Modern Life'!!! It's not going to be a huge feature movie that will hit theaters, but a one hour TV special and I suppose I can live with that because the current time period will get some fresh Rocko commentary. The series aired from 1993-1996 but has lived on in syndication and DVD.
Hey guys, Jana here,
We've waited long enough for news of 'Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life' and we're being rewarded for our patience. We now know when we can expect the new episodes of one of our favorite series and it's something to make Black Friday a little less chaotic. Why fight through crowds for a discount when you can stay in your house, in your comfiest PJ's, surround yourself with Thanksgiving leftovers and catch up with the Gilmore's on Netflix? I literally just described my very plan for November 25.
Hi everyone, Bryan here….
It seems like there are a wealth of animated talking animal movies these days. With Pixar, Disney, and DreamWorks releasing 'Zootopia', 'The Good Dinosaur', 'Finding Dory' and 'Kung Fu Panda 3' recently, it only seems fair that Universal dipped their hands into the sub-genre as well with 'The Secret Life of Pets'. Universal's animation studio Illumination Entertainment brought us 'Despicable Me' and those darn 'Minions' to the big screen, which has made the entertainment business billions of dollars. It seems logical for the studio to cash in on the talking animal genre now, since everyone else is doing it, however with an already over-crowded market for these films, 'The Secret Life of Pets' may fall short of beating out 'Zootopia' and 'Finding Dory' in both the financial and critical realms. I'm not saying that 'The Secret Life of Pets' is a bad movie or anything. In fact there are some great moments that are funny and charming, but it loses itself in the second half of the film when it becomes an action-caper movie that becomes over-the-top and even drags in its short run time of less than 90 minutes.
See How Disney Helped One Child With Autism in 'Life, Animated'!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
Disney movies are a hallmark of most of our childhoods and they were awesome, but nothing more than an animated break from reality in an air conditioned theater. For one child with autism they appeared as a lifeline helping him cope and connecting him to a world he doesn't understand. In 'Life, Animated' Owen Suskind is the focus of the story and in this documentary we get an up-close look at Owen's life as a young boy to the young man he is now, getting ready to live in his own apartment. One thing that is guaranteed about this doc – there will be tears.

I caught a bit of an interview last night with Danny Bonaduce and his wife, discussing some of hiis marital woes. They were discussing Danny's affair.
Wife: I really had no warning about it. I had no idea.
Danny: Oh really? You don't remember having a conversation with me saying "Somebody needs to start having sex with me around here!"?
Wife: Well, you were getting exactly what you deserved, since you weren't treating me with any respect, and in hindsight you got what you deserved since you were willing to cheat.
His wife is an attractive, intelligent woman but I couldn't help but feel she was being naive, at best. She's married to a celebrity and their 15 year marriage is a rarity by most standards and a miracle by Hollywood standards. They have two young girls which he did call very important to him. But his celebrity status means he is going to have ample opportunities should he want to. She was dismissing his needs to the point of not even remembering when he had voiced them. His well-known jaded past should have tipped her off.
In fact, they got married about 7 hours into their first date. He was drunked up, making out with her and was pushing for more. She backed off, saying she was a Christian and wanted to save herself for marriage. They happened to be in Las Vegas so Danny found a minister and they were married right then and there. Next morning, he couldn't even remember her name. "Who are you?" he asked.
"Mrs. Bonaduce!" she spat back.
Did I mention I thought she was naive?
While he wasn't getting any sex because of his poor behavior, his track record should have given her some clue.
Leela Lamore's blog is full of thoughtful posts to the point of earning a long-overdue spot on my blogroll. I've had her bookmarked for quite some time. She drew a considerable amount of fire for her confession of her pact with her husband concerning his expectation of daily sex. I think Phoenix had it right in making this expectation explicit right up front. Leela could have walked away right then and there. But she didn't. Phoenix made known what his deal-breaker was, same as many (women) who will list similar expectations and requirements: must love children, must love pets, no drugs, no smoking, must be a certain religion, must be a certain height, must be financially secure, and the list goes on. In my last post, the Lioness also made her expectaion of daily sex pretty explicit. The other women cited the more vague notion of "romance." Who has a better shot of getting their needs met?
Having explicit expectations is less manipulative than simply assuming the other person will take care of your needs because they love you and care for you. "Love honor and cherish" are extraordinarily subjective especially when it comes to day-to-day living. "Forsaking all others as long as we both shall live." seems to be the clearest line, or the one that gets the most airplay in situations like the Bonaduce's. Yeah, he screwed up. He admits it. But she can not or will not admit to having anything at all to do with it. "Forsaking all others" implies that there is one who will NOT be forsaken. But in the case of some, it becomes "Forsaking all." Or the hapless spouse joins the list of the forsaken, replaced by another lover, a hobby, sports, chores, children or some other diversion.

The Christmas meeting this year will take the form of a group trip (joint with Donard Group) to the JCB factory in Staffordshire. This trip is now fully booked and all are looking forward to a great few days away with group members.
For anyone who couldn't attend the JCB trip, the group will be running a trip to the Tayto factory on January 16. For more information, contact the office.
To round off the year we are planning a family fun day/ dance/ BBQ in June so watch this space for what promises to be a great event!
Many thanks to the group committee for taking the time to plan what promises to be a great winter programme.

Take a walk on the wild side in Bishop's Stortford's parks
PUBLISHED: 16:00 24 July 2016 | UPDATED: 14:48 26 July 2016
With improved access to the wetland, grassland and woods of Bishop's Stortford's parks, there's never been a better time to visit, says Countryside Management Service projects officer Ellie Beach
The south-west corner of Bishop's Stortford has new things on offer this summer for nature lovers. Two new walking routes have been developed by the Countryside Management Service on behalf of East Herts Council and volunteers have been busy installing hundreds of waymarker posts and information discs to mark the routes as well as interpretation panels in the five parks in the area.
Leisure & wildlife
The Parks and Beyond circular walks aim to get people exploring and learning more about the green spaces in this area of east Herts. Southern Country Park, an award-winning Green Flag Park, has something for everyone. Visitors can enjoy a gentle stroll around the park or if you're feeling more adventurous, why not have a go at orienteering? There is also a large grassy area ideal for kite flying and ball games. Dogs are welcome in most parts of the park as long as they are kept under control. You can even test your pet's skills on the dog agility course.
For a close up view of wetland wildlife, a trip across the boardwalk gives visitors the chance to get up close to the fascinating birds, insects and invetebrates that live in the reedbed and lake. You might catch a glimpse of an elusive water rail or be lucky enough to watch reed and sedge warblers – summer migrants all the way from Africa – building their nests. Look out for dragonflies and damselflies hunting above the water during the summer months, while between June and August, the chalk banks here are ablaze with wildflowers and alive with bees, hoverflies and butterflies. You can even cast a line – Fishing can be undertaken from the designated platforms on the main lake.
Help conservation
If you want to get active and have a positive impact, then practical conservation work could be for you. The Friends of Southern Country Park carry out monthly sessions to help manage this lovely site. Practical conservation tasks carried out have included woodland management works, tree planting, hedge laying, fence repairs, step installation and improvements to local Rights of Way.
Beyond the country park
From Southern Country Park visitors can reach Northern Parkland, Thorley Wedge, Bishop's Park and The Firs on foot, by bike or on horseback. The waymarked (green and orange) traffic-free routes follow tarmac paths, grassy footpaths and bridleways that link together the five parks. The walks go past residential areas and through a range of habitats including woodland, grassland and wetland.

About this book
This book provides clear and sometimes surprising answers to why gratitude is important to living well. The science of gratitude has shown much growth in the last ten years, and there is now sufficient evidence to suggest that gratitude is one of the most important components of the good life. Both correlational and experimental studies have provided support for the theory that gratitude enhances well-being.
After providing a lucid understanding of gratitude, this volume explores the many aspects of well-being that are associated with gratitude. Moreover, experimental work has now provided promising evidence to suggest that gratitude actually causes enhancements in happiness. If gratitude promotes human flourishing, how does it do so? This issue is addressed in the second section of the book by exploring the mechanisms that might explain the gratitude/well-being relationship. This book provides an up to date account of gratitude research and suggested interesting paths for future research, all while providing a theory of gratitude that helps make this information more understandable.
This book is very valuable to gratitude investigators, as well as all who are interested in pursuing this line of research, students and scholars of emotion and well-being and instructors of positive psychology courses and seminars.

Sporting excellence at Clifton High School
Sporting excellence at Clifton High School
CLIFTON High School is becoming increasingly well known for the quality of its sports provision and holds a strong, competitive position in the Bristol Schools' offering. The range of opportunities on offer, the high standard of teaching and excellent facilities both on and off site mean that many Clifton High pupils excel at county, national and international level.
Sport is a key part of the curriculum at Clifton High; the School values the important role sport plays in developing an individual's confidence and resilience, exposing pupils to teamwork and leadership opportunities. As well as weekly games, PE and swimming lessons, there is an extensive range of extra-curricular clubs.
Junior School children can choose from over 16 extracurricular sports clubs and in the Senior School there are over 23 on offer. Clubs are run by the school's staff and specialist external coaches.
Clifton High also offers its pupils the opportunity to participate in international sports tours. In 2015 the School ran a cricket and netball tour to Barbados; ski trips are undertaken regularly and with the School now offering a weekly Ski Training Club, pupils are taking part in international ski and snowboard competitions, too. This February many pupils enjoyed a ski trip to Sunday River, USA.
The school's commitment to sport also extends beyond the core school term.
Clifton High regularly holds holiday sports camps and this year will be running a week of activities during the Easter Holidays. The Camp will run from 4th to 8th April for pupils in Years 3 to 8. As well as mixed sporting activities, the Camp will feature a new Diamond Day on the Wednesday where girls will enjoy a full day of football and boys will take part in cricket.
Pupils will be coached by specialist sports coaches and the day will end with a prize-giving and 'team tea' for children and parents. The holiday camps are run by the school's sport staff and on the Diamond Day we will welcome external specialist coaches, too.

Main technical features
A magnification of 8x makes this pair of binoculars ideal for handheld use, as anything above this might make the image shake, or require image stabilization features that can increase the final price.
You will get an excellent field of view on a product that is decently priced; the FOV is 382 feet at 1,000 yards, which means that you can use the binoculars for hunting and bird watching with excellent results.
With an eye relief of 10.5mm, these are ideal for people who want their binoculars to be comfortable to use even with glasses.
The quality of the prism construction and overall optics performance recommend these binoculars for various applications.
Another thing you will like about this model is the rubber armor that encases the construction of the binoculars to protect the lenses and the prism.
Buy from Amazon.com for ($12.3)
In-depth information
Functionality and versatility are what define this pair of binoculars most and foremost. Besides being decently priced, the binoculars come equipped with a plethora of features that make them a must-have for anyone who doesn't want to spend a lot of money. Starting with the most critical aspect, the 8x magnification ensures that you will not have to worry about image stabilization problems, as the binoculars will behave exemplarily in any conditions.
The roof prism construction ensures that this model offers superior performance. The overall quality of optics is again something to write home about. Typically, binoculars that are priced this conveniently do not provide a lot of extras, and the performance may suffer. That is not the case with the BARSKA Lucid View that comes with fully coated lenses that provide excellent performance regarding light transmission. Due to this aspect, the image you will see through your binoculars will be sharp and clear.
You can take these binoculars with you when you want to watch your favorite team playing in a stadium or when you go camping or hiking. Due to the broad field of view offered, covering large areas of your surroundings is not an issue. Plus, following moving targets, such as a ball on a sports field is easy, and you will feel proud not having paid a premium price for a pair of binoculars that might not behave as well as this one.
One of the most significant advantages offered by this model is their incredible portability. They are small enough to be carried around with ease, and you don't have to worry that they will break, as the rubber armor protects them in case you drop them by accident.
Known Issues
According to some people who have reviewed this product, there is some chromatic aberration to worry about. However, it is not as bad as to make them choose a different pair. Given the price, they say they are still satisfied.
You cannot use them for detailed observations, so they might not be a good idea for bird watching, for instance. As a general purpose pair of binoculars, they seem to do the job.

After record levels of optimism among U.S. small business owners last year, it appears the trend may be over.
Reports in the Wall Street Journal on Tuesday (Jan. 8) said entrepreneurs in the U.S. are less optimistic about the national economy, with economic outlook dropping for the fourth month in a row, according to analysis from the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB).
The NFIB's optimism index dropped to 104.4 in December, its lowest level since late-2016, according to reports. That's after a record high for the Index of 108.8 last August.
The NFIB's president, Juanita Duggan, previously described the Index's highs last summer as "astounding," with New York Times reports in July pointing to corporate tax cuts and economic growth as key factors behind corporate confidence, despite rising credit card debt, trade disputes, a growing federal deficit, and other factors that would normally be linked to a drop in optimism.
In addition to lower optimism, small business owners surveyed by the NFIB for the Index also showed a decline in the number of entrepreneurs who say now is a good time to expand their businesses. For some, current economic conditions and political uncertainty are to blame for holding off on expansion.
Even so, the NFIB noted that levels of optimism among small business owners remain historically strong.
"Over the past few months, owners' expectations for the future have tempered, while reporting continued solid economic activity," the NFIB stated, reports said. "The Index remains at historically high levels but can't be expected to improve every month."
Separate data from the University of Michigan's index of consumer sentiment showed an increase in consumer confidence last month, though another report from the Conference Board also found rising concerns over the economy, reports said.
Last month bookkeeping technology firm Bench published a survey that found younger entrepreneurs tend to have higher aspirations for their businesses than entrepreneurs 45 and older, yet younger entrepreneurs also tend to be less knowledgeable about company finances and bookkeeping.

Damage-based seismic design and performance assessment of reinforced concrete structures
Wei, Jianwu
Date of Issue2007
School of Civil and Environmental Engineering
This thesis presents the research work on damage-based seismic design and performance evaluation of RC frame structures. The research involves both analytical and experimental studies. A coherent methodology is developed for damage-based design and evaluation, including the generation of damage-based inelastic spectra and the development of an implementation procedure for actual structural systems. Through a comprehensive investigation on the influences of pertinent parameters, unified empirical formulas are derived for the damage-based inelastic demand spectra. For the implementation in actual structures, two alternative methods, one based on modal pushover analysis and the other based on the characterization with a storey capacity factor, are proposed. A simple method based on a modified storey capacity factor is also developed for the prediction of the inter-storey drift distributions for performance evaluation purpose. A comparative shake table experiment is conducted on two companion frames of different detailing to investigate the damage and performance of nonseismically designed structures. The importance of evaluating the potential problems with undesired nonseismic details with respect to realistic seismic demands in low-to-moderate seismicity regions is emphasized. Furthermore, the effectiveness of a commonly used FRP repairing technique in recovering the structural performance is also investigated using shake table tests.

This is what I submitted for my InDesign 1 final project.
We had to create a concert/show/gig/event poster promoting the event. So who, what, when, where, etc… had to be included. We also had to include 2 languages among other file requirements.
This is what I did, it was entirely done using InDesign.
The fonts, were taken from royalty free font websites, and the information on the poster is completely fictional.
The second image is a little revamp of the above. Added some texture, and subtracted the text.

The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas in Galveston, Texas, issued a temporary injunction last week, preventing the 2015 WOTUS rule from being applied in Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi, at least until the current litigation efforts have been resolved.
Some states were prepared for the resurgence of WOTUS. Before a South Carolina federal court reinstated WOTUS nationwide in August, 24 states were already protected under injunctions from federal district courts in North Dakota in 2015 and Georgia earlier this year.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton gave his full support to the injunction. He and his counterparts from Louisiana and Mississippi filed for an injunction protecting their three states from the WOTUS rule, along with a request to expedite the process as much as possible.
"Today's district court ruling is a win for property owners in Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi, sparing them from the unlawful and impractical WOTUS rule that would allow EPA regulation of ponds, streams and puddles on private land," Paxton said in a statement. "By restoring principles of federalism to this area of law, the ruling is an even bigger win for the Constitution and the fundamental liberties it protects."
A nationwide injunction of WOTUS was also requested from the court but was denied.
