21 Queen Street gets its mojo back ?
Dobson & Parnell is the newest venture from Team Blackfriars. They must be doing well – last year's Hinnies seems to have kickstarted a long overdue Whitley Bay restaurant renaissance, and now they've taken on one of Newcastle's most hallowed restaurant sites – 21 Queen Street (NE1 3UG). The name, for the curious, comes from the designers of the grade II listed building – way back in 1863.
I was definitely trepidatious before visiting. That abysmal "I've never had my napkin replaced so I don't know what good service is" Chronicle review. And pics of some canny "cheffy" dishes – dots and garnishes abound. But head chef Troy Terrington spent a lot of time as a safe pair of hands at Blackfriars, before moving on to Jesmond Dene House. Coming here to really take the reins might give him the chance to cook what he's always wanted to.
Luckily, there was nowt to be worried about. Dobson & Parnell is the kind of restaurant befitting of somewhere like 21 Queen Street, and a worthy addition to Newcastle's "make a special trip for it" Quayside dining right alongside places like 21 and The Broad Chare.
While I'm not old enough to remember the Michelin-starred restaurant that sat here 20 years ago, I did have some lovely meals at Pan Haggerty when that was a thing. It was a smart restaurant then, and it's an even smarter one now. You've got that extra finish that most places don't get, and you can tell they're aiming high(er) end as soon as you walk through the door. Service is slick, professional, and like everything else, generally well polished. That wine glass is always topped up, though christ, the musical choices – Canon in D and other classical compositions, are as stuffy as you could imagine.
Anyway, a delicious morsel of glance-at-it-and-it-falls-apart BBQ lamb on flaky pastry disc with a dab of a mint oil was more than enough to wake up the tastebuds. House bread (and lovage butter ?) is presumably the same as at Blackfriars – dense, chewy and a pleasant warm up.
The wine list is sensible but well thought out – our £29 Viognier was worth the £ and other wines topped out at about £40 so you're never in extortion-land. The set menu (530-7pm), with three choices each of 3c, is exceptional value at the moment. Normally £25, but until Feb 13 – two for one.
Anyway, starters arrived promptly. Yes, goats cheese and beetroot has been done to death, but with a crunchy granola crumb to bring it all together, this was an ace version of it. See also – Kate's Shields crab with fennel – tried and tested but well executed. Think Peace & Loaf, without Dave's playfulness.
Set menu mains were conspicuously shy of red meat – risotto, stone bass, and chicken. Kinda nitpicking, as the stone bass was a treat – meaty, cooked just so, and the clam frumenty (hint of Blackfriars influence?), was an interesting and filling match for it. And bread + clam juices = ??. Stupidly forgot to order triple cooked chips, which look fab.
I'd normally steer clear of a chicken main, but when you get a good one, oh you remember what chicken should be like. A much bigger portion that I'd expected, though kale, carrot, cauli…it wouldn't feel out of place on a Sunday afternoon. A pimped up, delicious Sunday lunch, but not anything mould-breaking, which was a little disappointing.
Desserts were very solid, both almond biscuit/red wine figs/pickled plums, and chocolate/pistachio/clementine ticked all the right boxes – not too sweet, a lot more lively, and a more interesting twist of flavours, textures, and temperatures.
Coffee & homemade fudge came with a bill for £63 for 2. They've got a tasting menu launching soon which tells you the ambitions here – chasing that market just above what Blackfriars does. Remember when 'they' said House of Tides couldn't fill January mid-week seats with a £70 quid menu? Pah.
If you're a la carte, mains are £12-£18 – bear in mind that's about as much as you'll pay at somewhere grim like Harry's Bar, but here you're getting something that bit special. Definitely check it out if you haven't already, especially in the coming months as it matures. And remember that this opened at the same time as Giraffe, and all that other Eldon Square shite, so make sure your 2017 is filled with more places like Dobson & Parnell.

How To Stay Sane While Sick Or Injured
In a culture of hustle and a season of particular activity, the sudden strike of an unanticipated bodily ailment can put a serious wrench in the works, however serious the actual illness or injury might be. Associate Editor Leah Pellegrini broke an ankle earlier this month, and the experience has proven painful on more than just a physical level, perhaps surprisingly so — because however commonplace or even trivial this kind of impairment might seem, it requires a whole series of difficult daily adjustments and emotional challenges. Below, you'll find a few ideas for managing and mediating these testing factors (whether caused by flu, fracture or sprain, in your case) while expediting the healing process, or at least making it a little more pleasant.
1. Redefine your strict conceptualization of "healthy"...
I've spent years experimenting with different diets, workouts and other wellness rituals to build a routine that seems to best support my physical state. I know what "healthy" feels like, and I associate it with this particular set of regimens and rules, which now feel crucial to who I am and how I show up in the world. The human ego sounds the alarm at any challenge to its anchored identity, so it's no wonder that I've felt a sense of panic over these past several weeks, sparked by the sudden nixing (or limiting, at least) of several crucial elements of my personal health formula, including daily running, plenty of walking and a majority of the day spent outdoors. There's some nervous corner of my brain that genuinely thinks I'll self-combust if I don't tackle those much-lauded 10,000 steps a day or maintain my weekly average of jogging miles, and that believes I'm doomed to perpetual dumpiness if I sit for too long on the couch.
This reaction seems like a good hint that my wellbeing barometer isn't quite as honestly internalized as I thought it was, and that, in fact, I've assimilated some guidelines from fear-based media, which don't provide a complete picture of individualized fitness. No matter what societally-approved or pride-based constructions of health I've taken on as my own, sitting still is actually good for me right now. "Healthy" is not a permanent state that's solidified through willpower, nor is it an official achievement to compete for; rather, it's a shifting target we must feel our way towards, day in and day out, with a willingness to accept whatever intuitive directions our bodies provide. The true measure of health is how much we abide by our corporeal needs on a regular basis and how willing we are to comply with our cravings, whether or not they match what the brain thinks should be right.
2. …but push yourself in new and realistic ways.
Without the ability to move around the way I normally do, I could have conceded to total couch potato status. Allowing myself ample rest has been crucial, but nonstop slouching on the sofa quickly started to feel more numbing and defeating than nourishing. So, I got creative. I've been experimenting with upper-body exercises I can perform while sitting down, without putting weight on my leg, and I've found these episodes of sweat to be immensely restorative. Exercise elevates my mood and my energy levels, and it stokes my creativity and mental acuity, all of which can only be beneficial to my body's current healing process. Plus, the empowerment — the realization that I am still strong, capable and adaptable, though in unfamiliar ways — is emotionally encouraging. In my most optimistic moments, I'm almost grateful for the opportunity to focus on building strength in my arms and core, which typically tend to take the back-burner while I emphasize running and other vertical cardio.
3. Scrutinize your internal dialogue with tender discernment...
In the grand scheme of things, a broken bone is hardly a big deal, and the same goes for a bout of the flu or any other short-term malady. But this logical, cognitive knowledge doesn't negate the stress and trauma that these occurrences can cause on a cellular level, dampening spirits in the process. I've endured plenty of self-inflicted guilt-tripping over these recent weeks — "Why can't you just be your usual, cheerful self? Why are you making such a fuss out of this? Don't you know how much worse this could be?" — but of course, this only makes me feel increasingly disheartened, which is far from the goal. Instead, I'm trying to be especially mindful and intentionally cultivate positive thoughts. When negative notions of self-judgment and worry crop up, as they're wont to do, I'm just reminding myself that they're normal, but destructive, and calmly weeding them out.
4. …and be equally judicious towards the support you request and accept from others.
You cannot do all the things. This fact is always true, but it becomes especially obvious, and almost terrifyingly so, when you're rendered freshly incapacitated. (On one of my first mornings post-injury, I may or may not have cried into the cup of coffee I'd just poured myself, realizing I couldn't possibly carry it to the table while balanced on crutches.) It's necessary to be willing to accept help, but it's also important to recognize what kind of help serves you best and to request it accordingly. A well-meaning friend might offer to bring you take-out dinner, when what you really want is an extra hand with chopping and sautéing your own, or a loved one might lend a sympathetic listening ear when you're truly yearning for a comedic distraction. Speak up for the assistance that you truly need — the giver gets to feel genuinely useful that way, and you get to feel better, too.
5. Pick a hobby, any hobby...
If you've ever been curious to explore knitting, speaking Italian or still-life drawing, now's your shot. With regular daily to-do's off the table, your schedule should have some extra space for the sort of whimsical explorations you typically insist you're too busy to try. (Personally, I've been tearing through loads of crossword puzzles and learning to make vegan cheese. To each, his or her own.) You're entitled to indulging in trashy television, too, of course, but a more engaging, involving and interactive pursuit or project will stoke curiosity, creativity and a sense of purpose, all of which are soul-nourishing combatants to any sense of stagnancy.
6. ...and leave your phone out of it.
Whether because I was uncomfortable, bored or simply trying to avoid the labor required to stand and hobble to the bathroom, I found myself particularly absorbed by my phone on a nearly constant basis in the first couple of weeks after my ankle break. I'd scroll mindlessly through Facebook or open Twitter twice in the span of ten minutes, more vulnerable to its distracting allure than normal, and the minutes spent idly browsing were making me feel even more sluggish and stuck. Rather than repeatedly attempting to battle the seductive power of the shiny screen, I deleted my social media apps or buried them in folders where they'd be less accessible, forcing myself to think twice before opening a newsfeed "just because." I now make a conscious effort to leave my phone out of reach while focusing on more substantially entertaining tasks.
7. Embrace natural remedies, old wives' tales or your idealized panaceas of choice.
I'm eating piles of garlicky broccoli and kale salads the size of my head to score ample Calcium, Vitamin C and Vitamin K. Fermented cabbage provides more of all three of these nutrients, while red peppers and strawberries offer extra Vitamin C. I'm scattering pumpkin seeds on top of everything for Zinc, snacking on walnuts for omega-3 fatty acids, and sprinkling my plates with turmeric, cayenne, ginger and cinnamon for their anti-inflammatory properties. Though many of these foods play regular parts in my day-to-day diet, I'm putting extra attention (and therefore intention) towards their healing properties right now, if only because I like knowing I'm doing something to help myself out. So much of my treatment process comprises a surrender to a "wait it out" strategy, and it's soothing to feel like I'm taking conscious steps to speed things up. Whether you go with herbs or crystals or visualizations, the addition of a self-chosen remedy for your own ailment certainly can't hurt.
p.s. This accessible meditation tactic might help you feel a little better, too.

What is a Hearing Dog? Hearing Dogs are specially trained to alert people who are deaf or hard of hearing to common household sounds such as door knocks, telephones, and smoke alarms.
We provide Service Dogs trained for veterans diagnosed with PTSD. Other tasks we may train for include assistance with hearing loss, TBI (traumatic brain injury), and moderate physical limitations due to injury.Learn More
Not all of our outstanding dogs can meet the demands of becoming a Certified Assistance Dog, thus the need for a "Career Change". They are, however, still winners, and make wonderful pets.
"It is possible to conquer the past and create the future; the first step is choosing to take the journey."
The Sam Simon Foundation launched its Service Dog program in response to the growing need of veterans coping with PTSD as a result of the Iraq/Afghanistan conflict. A Service Dog is not a cure for PTSD, but whose skills and companionship can be an aid for managing the symptoms and promoting well-being.
Our dogs are specially selected from local shelters based on their temperament and breed. Most of our Service Dogs will be retrievers or retriever types. They are generally between 1-2 years old at the time of their placement.
The Sam Simon Foundation rescues dogs from animal shelters and professionally trains them to become assistance dogs for people who are deaf or hard of hearing. This is part 1 of our video that describes our Hearing Dog Program.
This is the second part of our video which describes our Hearing Dog training program. The Sam Simon Foundation rescues dogs from animal shelters and professionally trains them to become certified assistance dogs for people who are deaf or hard of hearing.

It's a bright and sunny Tuesday morning in bustling Washington, D.C., and I'm headed to jail.
The roads are bumpy, the ride is jerky, and I'm nervous. I didn't expect to travel to a juvenile detention center when I woke up this morning. I'm 17 years old, no longer a kid but not yet an adult, the prime age to suffer the consequences of the ongoing conflict between my developing adolescent brain and desire to finally be a "grownup." If I were a black male from a struggling neighborhood in inner-city D.C., I might be on my way to an orange jumpsuit and a yearlong stay here. But I'm not. I'm a white girl from an affluent suburb in Maryland, so I'm just at New Beginnings Youth Development Center for a two-hour visit.
I'm incredibly privileged to be born into a society where I am guaranteed rights because of characteristics of my identity that are beyond my control. But this privilege also promotes naivete: Because I live in a safe place where police would likely treat me fairly, I have never had to be aware of the justice system the way that many teenagers around the country need to be every day.
Let me give you a little bit of background. For three weeks, I've been a high school intern at the Center for Children's Law and Policy (CCLP), a nonprofit organization that works to reform the juvenile justice system. I've had the opportunity to learn a lot, but the most important thing I've done is re-evaluate my perspective on juvenile justice.
I am a person who abhors naivete. I consistently make efforts to get out of my comfort zone, to expose myself to new things and to learn about perspectives different from my own. Over the last few weeks, however, I've slowly been able to recognize the narrowness of my view of the world — and of juvenile justice in particular.
I often hear news coverage of juvenile justice and police brutality issues, and because of this, I considered myself to be sufficiently informed on these topics. However, the sliver of truth broadcast in the media is just one part of a vast number of heartbreaking juvenile justice issues. I've known for a long time about the disparity between black and white kids in the system, but I didn't understand its full extent.
[Related: Documentary Aims Spotlight on Broken Juvenile Justice System]
According to the Annie E. Casey Foundation, 300,000 youth are locked up pretrial each year. As of 2011, 71 percent were kids of color — even though youth of color make up only 45 percent of the United State's total youth population.
This statistic is shocking and disturbing, and the disparity it reveals has not left my mind since my first day in the office. It should be stuck in the heads of all teenagers as well, not just mine.
Additionally, my peers (and friends) sometimes skip class, talk back to teachers and experiment with marijuana. During my first few days at CCLP, I was shocked to learn that in some areas of the United States teens are arrested and detained for these minor offenses.
Teenagers are young, inexperienced and reckless. We don't always make the right decisions or do what we're told. But there are a lot of us — 41 million — and we can make a difference.
Juvenile justice reform organizations fail to recognize the power of empathy between kids. I am now empowered to make a change because I recognize that I could pretty easily be in the shoes of a kid serving time at New Beginnings Youth Development Center. My peers might feel the same — and even come together to take action — if organizations engaged us in conversation about unfair disparities and harsh treatment of youth in the system.
Back to my morning in jail. After the two-hour tour ends, I climb into the car, buckle my seatbelt and head back to CCLP's office. But I know the youth locked behind bars can't leave.
Not every teenager can have the experience I did, but a stronger effort can be made to widen the perspectives of kids around the country. Knowledge is power, and 15 years from now, my generation will be adults.
So, tell us about juvenile justice reform. Make an effort to inform youths about issues that impact them, and I guarantee the number of juvenile justice advocates will increase exponentially.

Arthur Haas performs keyboard music by Rameau and others May 8
Recital also includes music by Corelli, Geoffroy, and Alessandro Scarlatti
American harpsichordist Arthur Haas, renowned worldwide for his performances of French baroque and contemporary music, will perform at the Yale Collection of Musical Instruments on Wednesday, May 8 at 5:30 pm. Haas is a member of the Yale School of Music faculty.
Titled "Oh! The Things You Will See: Rameau Goes South", the concert will feature early works by Jean-Philippe Rameau, one of the leading French composers of his time, and follows him in his travels southward to Italy, a country represented by composers such as Alessandro Scarlatti, who was best known for his operas.
Jean-Phillipe Rameau was one of the most influential Baroque composers of the eighteenth century. He was the leading French composer of opera and harpsichord music of his time. Initially, his revolutionary use of harmony was attacked by more traditional musical consumers; by the 1750s, however, Rameau was criticised in an incident known as the "Querelle des Bouffons," in which those who favored Italian opera viciously attacked him as an "establishment" composer.
The concert will also include an 18th-century harpsichord transcription of one of Arcangelo Corelli's Concerti Grossi, as well as the Suite in G minor by French composer Jean-Nicolas Geoffroy. Known for his inventive harmonies, Geoffroy was author of the largest collection of harpsichord music of 17th-century France.
Admission to the performance is free, but reservations are suggested due to limited space; the public should call 203-432-0822 to reserve seats. The Yale Collection of Musical Instruments is located at 15 Hillhouse Ave, New Haven.
This concert will stream LIVE online at music.yale.edu/media.
For more information, visit yale.edu/musicalinstruments or contact the Collection of Musical Instruments at 203-432-0822.
About Arthur Haas
Arthur Haas studied harpsichord in Berkeley and Amsterdam from 1972 to 1977, Paris from 1976 to 1977, and at the Juilliard School in New York from 1970 to 1971. In 1975, he received the top prize in the Paris harpsichord competition, and remained in France where he was featured in most major French music festivals, including le Festival Estival de Paris, Mai Musical de Bordeaux, and the Saintes Early Music Festival. Praised by Le Monde for his interpretation of French keyboard music, Mr. Haas has recorded extensively and teaches at numerous esteemed universities such as Berkeley, Amherst, and Stanford. In 2012 he joined the faculty of the Yale School of Music.

They needed this.
Not to keep alive their hopes for a College Football Playoff spot. That ship has probably sailed.
Not even for a Big Ten title, as coveted as that is.
Ohio State needed a performance like Saturday's 48-3 demolition of visiting Michigan State to purge the sting from last weekend's debacle at Iowa.
That 55-24 loss to the Hawkeyes gave the Buckeyes two regular-season losses for the first time in Urban Meyer's six years as coach. Given the Buckeyes' recent struggles against Michigan State, the resurgent Spartans figured to provide a stiff test.
Instead, the No. 13 Buckeyes beat the No. 12 Spartans by the biggest margin in the teams' 46-game series.
"You need a great performance, and they had a great performance," Meyer said. "A-to-Z, it was what we needed, and it was well-deserved. The players deserved that. They worked hard this week."
The victory puts Ohio State (8-2, 6-1 Big Ten) in control of the Big Ten East and snapped a streak in which the road team had won the previous six OSU-MSU games.
Michigan State (7-3, 5-2) came into Ohio Stadium with momentum from having beaten Penn State last weekend. The Spartans' 3-9 record in 2016 seemed a distant memory.
But this was a mismatch from the start. Ohio State rolled to a 35-0 lead in the first half and outgained the Spartans 524-195.
The Buckeyes' offensive line dominated. Michigan State entered the game ranked third nationally in run defense and hadn't allowed a 100-yard rusher all year.
Mike Weber and J.K. Dobbins easily surpassed that threshold. Weber ran for 162 yards in nine carries, including touchdown runs of 47 and 82 yards. Dobbins added 124 yards in 18 carries, the most runs the freshman has had since the opener at Indiana.
Quarterback J.T. Barrett added a pair of 4-yard touchdown runs and threw two touchdown passes. He finished 14 of 21 for 183 yards, although he did throw two interceptions.
Ohio State's defense was just as impressive as its offense, especially considering that the Buckeyes played without starting linebackers Jerome Baker and Dante Booker because of head injuries. The Buckeyes' defense didn't miss a beat with Tuf Borland (a game-high 11 tackles) and Malik Harrison (six tackles) replacing them.
Michigan State quarterback Brian Lewerke had thrown for at least 400 yards in each of the Spartans' previous two games. He managed only 131 yards on 18-of-36 passing with two interceptions as Buckeyes defensive backs blanketed Spartans receivers and the pass rush consistently supplied pressure.
"He decided to hold on to it a little bit in the beginning, and then he smartened up and got rid of it," defensive end Nick Bosa said.
Michigan State was no more successful running the ball. The Spartans gained only 64 yards in 34 carries.
"Coming off the loss last week, it was like you couldn't play soon enough," Borland said. "We wanted to get back after it and wanted to get that taste out of our mouth, and this certainly helps."
LJ Scott had a 20-yard run on Michigan State's game-opening drive, but after the Spartans got to the Ohio State 36, Bosa sacked Lewerke to force a punt.
The avalanche then commenced. The Buckeyes moved the ball to the Michigan State 47 before Weber took a handoff and ran untouched through the middle of the Spartans defense.
A 17-yard loss on a botched snap doomed Ohio State's next possession, but the Buckeyes scored touchdowns on their next four drives. Michigan State didn't score until a 37-yard field goal on the final play of the first half. After three quarters, Ohio State's yardage advantage was 512-121.
"We didn't separate with our receivers," Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio said. "We didn't throw the ball accurately. We couldn't protect the quarterback. We couldn't run the football.
"Defensively, we didn't tackle well. We didn't pressure their quarterback enough and couldn't stop the run. Consequently, a meltdown happens, and you have to give Ohio State a lot of credit."
The Buckeyes have been an enigma this season, but they sensed that this kind of performance was coming.
"I knew last week we kind of laid an egg," Bosa said. "We came out flat. The attitude was completely different this week. I knew this wasn't going to be a close one. We were going to come out strong."

Click here to read the press release that was posted earlier today on the Stars' website.
Click here to read the press release from the NAHL's Minot Minotauros (the team Berge has coached for the last season).
Excerpt from the Stars' press release:
Berge played for the Stars from 2002-2005, and was a member of the Clark Cup championship team in 2003. After his USHL career, Berge went on to play four years of collegiate hockey for Minnesota State University-Mankato.
Excerpt from the Minotauros' release:
Minotauros Assistant Coach Mick Berge, has accepted the Assistant Coach/Director of Scouting position with the Lincoln Stars of the United States Hockey League. Berge had started his second season on the Tauros' bench at the NAHL Showcase last week. Now Berge heads to Lincoln for their season opener on Friday. Berge played in Lincoln for three seasons, amassing 35 goals and 82 assists.
Berge was also quick to credit Head Coach Marty Murray with helping him advance; "Lincoln is an opportunity I can't pass up. Having played there for three years I'm excited to go back to where my junior career began.
Expounding on the information posted in each of the press releases linked above, Mick is originally from Okalahoma City, OK and played a few years of professional hockey after his four years at the University of Minnesota-Mankato. After his stint playing pro hockey, Mick was hired by the NAHL's Minot Minotauros before the 2012-13 season where he has been since now.
Backtracking to his college years at Minnesota-Mankato, Mick was known at the time as a UND killer. He was a player that the Fighting Sioux of North Dakota had problems keeping in check. Click here to read more about that. Mick was an alternate captain at Mankato his junior season, and was named captain his senior season.
As many know, Mick is the older brother of Josh Berge, who also played/coached for the Lincoln Stars.
In the past week or so, I brought Mick's name up in conversation when talking about who Jimmy McGroarty and the Stars might hire. So when this news dropped today, I wan't surprised. Mick is a familiar name and face, and has some good coaching experience in the NAHL. I'm sure he will be a great addition to the Stars' coaching staff. Click here to follow Mick Berge on Twitter.
I'm going to embed a video below that Mick made when he was playing for the Allen Americans of the Central Hockey League (CHL).
Welcome back to Lincoln, Mick!

How to generate good eating habits in our dog
Posted on April 24 2018
Being the dog an integral member of the family, and like one of those members, we must make sure to generate in our dog the correct food habit. Many times we believe that this is not necessary, but the reality is that it is more than one can think.
In the first place we must make it clear to our dog, whatever their breed, that there are feeding times; for this it is fundamental that we ourselves respect a strict and orderly conduct in the schedule. For this reason, if the dog should feed twice a day - and this will depend on their breed, weight - we must respect two schedules in the day to do so. In this way, our dog will know that there are two moments in the day when he will be fed.
There are other aspects that we must take into account when feeding our friend, not only the schedule, one of them is that if the dog has not eaten the dish we have served, the food must be removed. Not only for a hygienic question but also to create the correct eating behavior in our friend.
Likewise, it is important to keep in mind that if our dog eats all the food immediately we serve the same, we must remove the dish and wash it. The idea of keeping it clean is to eliminate any kind of residue that could be in it and that later our friend wants to lick the dish. This last action will activate the digestive system of our dog again, producing an incorrect message and diverting the good behavior we want to instill. We recommend, then, that the plate in which we serve the food is made of stainless steel, to prevent odors from being impregnated. The most important detail to keep in mind about how to feed our friends well is to take into account their age.
The feeding in a puppy is quite different from that of an adult dog and the right food is as important as knowing how much we should give per day. To offer you the best quality of life, it is not only important to offer love but also the special care they need. Feed them well is one of the many keys to take into account to offer our dog the best life.

Step 1Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the meat fat-side up in a large Dutch oven. Sprinkle the onion soup mix over the meat. Cover with the chile sauce and 2 cups of water, or more if needed to almost cover the meat. Crush the garlic cloves and add to the liquid.
Step 2Cover the pan and cook for 4 hours. Let the brisket cool for about 45 minutes and refrigerate overnight. Then skim the fat off the meat.
Step 3About 1 1/2 hours before you wish to serve the brisket, heat the oven to 350 degrees. Remove the brisket to a cutting board and slice it thinly across the grain. Trim, peel and cut the carrots into one-half-inch-by-2-inch sticks. Cook the brisket and carrots covered for 1 hour, until the brisket is heated through and the carrots are fork tender. (Alternatively, the brisket can be completed the same day: While the brisket is cooling for 45 minutes, trim, peel and cut the carrots into one-half-inch-by-2-inch sticks. Remove the brisket and slice it thinly across the grain. Skim the fat off the top of the liquid, add the sliced brisket back to the pan with the carrots, cover and bake at 350 degrees for 1 more hour, or until carrots are fork tender.) Serve on a platter.

Travel and tourism are critical drivers of the American economy, generating $2.3 trillion in economic output and supporting one in nine American jobs. Maintaining and growing this segment requires increasing the flow of international visitors to the U.S. while recognizing the value of government, business, and leisure travel here at home. Global travel is growing, but the U.S. share of the international travel market has declined since 2015, costing a potential 96,000 new jobs and an additional $30.7 billion in spending by international visitors. The U.S. can facilitate and encourage international visitors while keeping a strong commitment to security. The hotel industry supports a welcoming message to the world and policies that strike an appropriate balance between security and travel.
Congress recognized the importance of international visitors to the U.S. when it created Brand USA, a public-private partnership that promotes America as a travel destination for international visitors. It has been an unqualified success—welcoming international travelers, generating American jobs and enhancing America's image abroad—at zero expense to American taxpayers. Brand USA must be reauthorized by the end of 2020.
AHLA Position
AHLA urges Congress to reauthorize Brand USA to ensure we can keep fighting for America's share of global travel dollars. AHLA also calls on Congress to pass the JOLT Act to modernize the Visa Waiver Program and facilitate streamlined travel into the U.S., while bolstering homeland security and counterterrorism efforts.
Key Stats
- 1 in 9 American jobs depend on travel and tourism.
- Direct spending by resident and international travelers in the U.S. average $2.6 billion a day, $108.1 million an hour, $1.8 million a minute and $30,033 a second.
- $2.3 trillion: Economic output generated by domestic and international visitors (includes $990.3 billion in direct travel expenditures that spurred an additional $1.3 trillion in other industries).

I almost drowned in my loneliness today. I felt isolated, without companionship. All around me others stayed so busy all day, doing their own special things. They all had somebody to share with. But no one wanted to spend their day with me. Your Word promises you won't leave me alone. I claimed that promise today, and you helped me battle my loneliness. Thank you for knowing and caring how I feel.

While medications play an important role in a comprehensive rheumatoid arthritis treatment plan, lifestyle modifications, including exercise, stress reduction and healthful eating, can also dramatically improve quality of life for many RA patients.
For most patients, the first step to making appropriate lifestyle changes to improve RA symptoms is to develop a working relationship with your healthcare team. By becoming informed about the type of RA you have, what joints are affected and what physical limitations you may have, you can work with your doctor, nurses and physical therapist to determine which nondrug treatments may be beneficial for you.
Talking with your doctor is an important first step to making healthy lifestyle choices that can positively impact your RA symptoms.
Set Realistic Rheumatoid Arthritis Treatment Goals
Being newly diagnosed with RA can be frightening and stressful. Having a detailed arthritis treatment plan will help you manage your symptoms and set appropriate treatment goals. Along with your doctor, work out a plan that you clearly understand and then continually monitor your progress. While your individual plan may vary, the most common RA treatment goals include:
- Decreasing arthritis pain and other symptoms
- Slowing the progression of the disease
- Preventing joint damage
- Maintaining joint function and mobility
- Preserving independence and quality of life
Treatment goals will vary according to your age, disease state, joint involvement, current health status, past medical history and lifestyle. However, the aim of all RA treatment is to get the disease under the best possible control without compromising quality of life.
Staying Fit and Flexible with Exercise
Exercise is one part of a comprehensive rheumatoid arthritis treatment plan. Studies have shown that exercise helps people with rheumatoid arthritis maintain muscle tone, flexibility and mobility of joints. It can also help you lose excess weight, which can stress joints. In addition, exercise has been shown to improve sleep and mood and reduce stress, all of which contribute to reducing painful RA symptoms.
Recommendations for the best types of exercise for those with RA include:
- Stretching or flexibility exercises to help maintain joint mobility and range of motion
- Strengthening exercises to develop and maintain muscle tone, endurance and strength
- Aerobic exercise to improve cardiovascular fitness and help maintain a healthy body weight
Before beginning an exercise program, talk with your doctor and find out if you have any limitations. In general, arthritis patients can perform easy range-of-motion exercises and other low-impact exercise, such as swimming or cycling. It's also important to progress slowly and avoid movements that involve high impact to the joints.
If you are overweight, weight loss may reduce RA pain because extra weight increases pressure on joints, particularly in the hips, knees and ankles.
It's also important to know when to rest. If joints become painful, red or swollen, reduce your activity and work with your doctor or physical therapist to modify your program.
Finally, choose exercises or activities that are enjoyable and comfortable and can become part of your daily routine.
Eating Well and Maintaining a Healthy Weight
Although there is a growing body of research on the relationship between nutrition, diet and rheumatoid arthritis, no particular foods have been shown to either cause or cure rheumatoid arthritis.
There has been some promising research on the relationship between foods containing omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables and inflammation in the body. Foods with high levels of omega-3 include cold-water fish (salmon, mackerel and herring), eggs, canola and flaxseed oils. Antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables include apples, beets, cranberries, blueberries, kale, spinach, broccoli and oranges. Currently, however, no clinical trials have convincingly proven or disproven their effectiveness in improving RA symptoms.
Until there is more evidence to support specific diets or supplements for RA, it is important to discuss your nutritional needs with your healthcare provider and avoid unproven nutritional practices.
For overall good health, the Arthritis Foundation recommends a healthy, balanced diet low in saturated fats and calories, and rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Other nutrition recommendations for RA patients include:
- Maintain your ideal weight.
- Eat a variety of foods from the four basic food groups: bread, cereal, rice and pasta; fruit and vegetables; milk, yogurt and cheese; and meat, poultry, fish, dry beans, eggs and nuts.
- Avoid eating too much fat, saturated fat, trans fat and cholesterol.
- Eat adequate amounts of starch and fiber.
- Eat high quality, low fat sources of protein.
- Avoid too much sugar.
- Avoid too much sodium (salt).
- Avoid alcohol.
RA patients may be more likely to have some vitamin and mineral deficiencies than the general population. Although food is the preferred source of these nutrients, your doctor may recommend vitamin and mineral supplements to ensure you are getting adequate nutrition.
Use Heat and Cold Therapy to Minimize RA Flares
Heat and cold therapy are often recommended for aching or stiff joints to temporarily relieve pain and increase mobility. While there is little specific research evidence that heat and cold therapy are beneficial, many patients find that these measures ease their pain and simply feel good.
Heat reduces muscle tension and stimulates blood circulation, and moist heat will warm the joints faster than dry heat. Cold therapy reduces soreness, inflammation and swelling and is helpful to temporarily relieve joint pain caused by an arthritis flare. Here are some guidelines for using heat and cold therapy.
Tips for Safely Using Heat Therapy
- Safe heat sources include hot towels, showers or baths, hot water bottles, and electric heating pads.
- To prevent burns, do not use heat for excessive lengths of time, and be careful to check your skin for redness often while applying heat.
Tips for Safely Using Cold Therapy
- Avoid applying ice or cold packs directly to the skin.
- Use a bag of frozen peas, or wrap ice in a thin towel before applying to the skin.
- To avoid frostbite, do not apply cold for more than 15 minutes at a time.
- Allow your skin to return to normal temperature and color before using cold again.
Quality Sleep Can Lessen RA Pain
Research suggests that a lack of sleep and rheumatoid arthritis pain are tightly linked. RA patients who don't get enough sleep or have poor sleep quality report more fatigue and moodiness, as well as increased pain and stress. One study showed that rheumatoid arthritis patients who don't sleep well have a diminished ability to cope with stress. Experts recommend that RA patients get seven to eight hours of sleep each night.
One way RA patients can ensure they get adequate, sound sleep is to develop an end-of-day ritual to prepare for sleep. Two hours before bedtime, begin preparing for sleep by slowing down activity, noise, lights and stimulation. Your bedroom should be quiet, comfortable, dark and cool. By programming yourself to have a good night's sleep, it is much more likely that you'll wake up rested – and possibly with less RA pain.
Other ways to ensure a good night's rest:
- Sleep on a firm mattress.
- Use an orthopedic pillow.
- Use an electric blanket during the winter.
- Avoid alcohol, caffeine and sugar before bed.
- Avoid highly complex tasks before bed.
Control Stress to Alleviate RA Symptoms
Although stress does not cause rheumatoid arthritis, it can make this condition more difficult to manage and even increase the amount of pain you feel. While there are many different ways to manage stress, experts suggest the following as the most helpful:
- Balance activity with rest
- Perform relaxation exercises
- Participate in regular exercise programs
- Join an arthritis support group
Other relaxing activities that may reduce stress include practicing yoga, reading, listening to music, enjoying a favorite hobby, meditation, guided imagery and biofeedback. These activities may only make up a small part of your day, but they can act as powerful stress reducers.
For those with a great deal of stress from pain, work, family issues or other life events, cognitive behavior therapy may also be very helpful.
Finally, it's important to realize that there may be times when you need to ask for help from family and friends. While this can be difficult, research shows that a strong support system can actually help improve RA symptoms. So don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it.
Will Acupuncture and Massage Help RA?
Complementary therapies like acupuncture and massage may help some people with rheumatoid arthritis ease pain and cope with the disease.
There is a small amount of clinical evidence that acupuncture reduces the sensation of pain in arthritis patients, particularly those with osteoarthritis. Acupuncture is a form of Chinese medicine believed to correct imbalances in the patterns of energy flow in the body by inserting special needles in specific areas.
Massage is a means of reducing and relaxing muscle tension and increasing blood flow to a specific area of the body. Massage often helps patients through a very acute, severe episode of pain. However, massage on its own does not appear to have a prolonged effect on RA symptoms.
While you may be interested in trying alternative treatments to help manage your RA symptoms, some of them should not be combined with standard treatments. It's important to discuss the benefits and limitations of any complementary therapies with your doctor before deciding to add them in your treatment plan.
Use the Right RA Medications the Right Way
Many over-the-counter and prescription medications are used to control the pain and swelling of rheumatoid arthritis. If your treatment plan includes medications, it is important to take them as prescribed. RA medications help to relieve pain, improve mobility, and slow down or perhaps even stop damage to the joints. Going on and off medications or taking more or less than prescribed may actually lessen their effectiveness and make your RA symptoms worse. One of the best ways of controlling RA is early and aggressive treatment, so it's essential to follow your doctor's recommendations.
RA medications fall into three main categories:
- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and steroids: These are medications that treat pain and inflammation.
- Disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs): These are medications that slow the progression of the disease.
- Biologic therapies: These are highly targeted medications that are engineered to target specific proteins in the body including those related to inflammation.
It's a good idea to keep a diary of your symptoms and let your doctor know about any changes in your condition, positive or negative, that might affect treatment choices.

Water Taxi Travel for Real Estate InspectionsMajestic Water Taxis provides a range of services for architects, real estate agents, property owners and other stakeholders for real estate inspections.
If you're looking for a fast, cost-efficient way of getting to waterfront properties around Sydney Harbour, the Parramatta River, and Lane Cove River, we can provide all the services you need
Our Real Estate Inspection Services
When it comes to examining waterfront properties, water access is essential. We deliver multiple options for professionals and commercial operations.
- 01For Architects: Access by water is an excellent way of visualising the property from its most important perspective. Architectural design in high-value areas like Point Piper is strongly influenced by the environment, both aesthetically and in terms of practical property design.
- 02For Builders & Developers: Waterfront properties are complex construction operations. The waterfront itself is often critical to structural issues and property access from the waterside. Surveyors, engineers, and other building professionals typically require access to the waterfront area to evaluate construction issues.
- 03For Real Estate Purposes: Access to prestige Sydney waterfront properties via luxury water taxi is a major selling point in the real estate market. It's also a big issue in assessing property values. It allows you to evaluate a range of unique issues which can only be directly assessed by viewing the property's condition and environmental issues from the waterside.
- 04Commercial Waterfront Properties: On a much larger scale, commercial waterfront properties require similar waterfront access for builders, developers, engineers and surveyors. In some cases, extensive survey and evaluation of the waterfront is a fundamental requirement of development, sometimes requiring several days of assessment and surveying.
Contact us for Any Water Access Needs
Majestic Water Taxis can provide you with any level of water transport services you need. Whether you need a luxury water taxi to impress prospective clients or reliable water taxi travel to a new building site, just call our team on 0439 625 377 or email: . We can provide any services you require on an ongoing or one-off basis.

This issue of the digest summarizes current scientific evidence about yoga for health conditions, including chronic low-back pain, asthma, and arthritis.
The scientific evidence to date suggests that a carefully adapted set of yoga poses may help reduce pain and improve function in people with chronic low-back pain. Studies also suggest that practicing yoga (as well as other forms of regular exercise) might confer other health benefits such as reducing heart rate and blood pressure, and may also help alleviate anxiety and depression. Other research suggests yoga's deep breathing is not helpful for asthma, and studies looking at yoga and arthritis have had mixed results.
Condition and Summary of Current Evidence
Chronic low-back pain
Evidence-based clinical practice guidelines from the American College of Physicians and the American Pain Society (ACP/APS) found fair evidence that yoga (Viniyoga) is effective for chronic low-back pain.
*The guidelines recommend that practitioners consider the non-pharmacological interventions as appropriate options when treating patients whose low-back pain does not improve with more conservative self-care.
Although a few individual trials have reported positive effects of breathing exercises performed through yoga or other interventions, systematic reviews of the evidence suggest that there is no sound evidence that yoga improves asthma.
Only a few published studies have examined yoga and arthritis, and of those that have, results are inconclusive.
