|It is a downright lie that all fast food is bad news. Eating a bun with lettuce, protein,cheese, onion cannot be considered junk food. It is the excess salt and fat (fat is fine within reason).
There is so much crap out there about dieting, nutrition and just about everything else that would confuse Einstein, let alone the average muncher. The nutritional value of food has always been overstated or pooh-poohed by fashionably well off celebrities and others, who not only have a floating bank account in six figures but can afford to wander down the isles of over the top priced delies that the average person would consider a special treat just to enter and dream.
It is always refreshing to read some common sense information about what it is we assume we are eating. It is a known fact that oversize menus create oversized people. A small Maccas in US is the equivalent of a large Maccas in France. So it is just a matter of reducing the food intake, which is in itself a battle as we love to eat. Measure or be aware of the volume of food we consume. Just also increase one's water intake as the brain cannot distinguish between hunger and thirst, it will transmit that you are hungry, when in actual fact, all you need is a glass of water. It happens all the time(daily).
The bottom line is that you can eat whatever you like, just don't eat too much of it.
How to read a nutrition labelBy Karen Berg Published August 11, 2012
Many people turn to "counting calories" when they want to lose weight. But how many of us really know what they're reading when they scroll through a nutrition label? Here are a few things you should know before tossing any item into your grocery cart.
"Serving size" is the first line of the nutrition label and the single most important thing to understand. A product that is being marketed as a "low calorie snack" is only talking about one serving. So if you are eating the whole box, rest assured you are getting more calories than you bargained for.
Frequently, when buying a bag of chips or a drink many consumers think, "this looks like one serving." But cute, individually wrapped items can be deceiving. Many snack-sized items often have 2.5 servings. That means that you can take the calories per serving, let's say they are 150, and multiply them by the amount of servings. Eat that cute, individual bag of personal chips and voila, those personal chips just gave your body 375 calories. Doesn't sound like such a healthy snack anymore, does it? Before you pick up an item that you plan on devouring solo, make sure that it's just meant just for one.
The same advice applies when considering what bread to buy in the grocery store. When you look at the nutrition label, you'll see that most brands consider just one slice of bread to be one serving. But it's not easy to make a sandwich with just one slice! Look for bread that offers two slices for less than 150 calories with a good helping of fiber (more on that later).
Fat Matters
Immediately under calories on the nutrition label you'll find that foods sometimes offer "calories from fat." Generally, you should try to keep fat in your food at an absolute minimum unless the product contains healthy fats from nuts, grains, seeds or avocado. And before you even go there, let me I assure you, Oreos and Doritos do not.
Most people know by now that not all fats are created equal. Companies in the US are now required to list trans fat since they have been directly linked to clogged arteries (which can lead to heart attacks and strokes). In general, make sure you see a big fat zero next to the words "trans fat" on the nutrition label. Polyunsaturated fats are the healthy fats, while saturated fats should be consumed in limited quantities. The combination of saturated fat and cholesterol is actually what leads to higher levels of cholesterol in the blood. So it's not just cholesterol (which is the next item on the label) that you should be looking at.
Watch Out for Sodium
Sodium is another hot ticket item since it is essential for proper cell function, but overwhelmingly, Americans are consuming way too much of this mineral since it is over-used as a preservative for packaged products. This is where knowing how much is okay is important. The RDA suggests that healthy individuals under the age of 51 limit sodium intake to 2,300 mg per day. Check out the label of your favorite frozen meal, most have close to 1,000 mg, while some even surpass 2,000 mg -- and that's just for one meal.
Carbs Are NOT the Enemy
It should be pretty obvious by now that the next line on the nutrition label, carbohydrates, is not where all your healthy endeavors end. In fact, just knowing how to read carbohydrates on the label is half the battle. Carbs are usually broken down into dietary fiber and sugar. Can you guess which is healthier? Most Americans do not consume enough fiber, which can lead to problems like constipation and even weight gain. For optimal digestive health, adults want to aim for at least 35 grams of fiber per day. Sugar, of course, should be kept at a minimum.
Muscle Building Protein
The last item on the label is protein. The recommended daily intake for protein ranges from 40 to 60 grams per day depending on a person's weight, gender and age. Most dietary protein comes from dairy, meat, eggs and beans. Due to the range of protein requirements among individuals, you will notice that protein is one of the only macronutrients that doesn't have a percent value.
The percent daily value (the column on the right) calculates the percentage of your daily value that an item contains based on a 2,000 calorie diet, but if anything this number just confuses people since not everyone follows a 2,000 calorie diet, so it may be easier to stick to the numbers on the left.
The Stuff Food is Made From
If you want to make even more educated decisions about what you eat and what you feed your family, check out the list of ingredients. Look for names of ingredients that you have heard of, or at the very least, you can pronounce. And know that these things are listed in descending order by what is most prevalent in the product. Look for products that have whole grains, vegetables and fruits at the top of that list, and sugar and additives should appear closer to the bottom.
Bottom line: make sure to watch your servings, types of fats and carbohydrates, and always, always, opt for real ingredients over overly processed junk food.

Raceday Grand Final: Man vs Machine
We are down to the final two.
carey verse jamtim.
The machine - carey, who said his computer does all the talking for him, will face off against the Queenslander jamtim.
The honour is one shared by few with only 4 winners in the history of the great game.
They have seen all fall before them and now their selections for a humble, yet tricky, final Ascot meeting are the only ones that matter.
Good luck to both competitors. Who is Perth's tipping champion?

Fischer was recognized after lifting the Crimson past Princeton (Gil Talbot).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Brian Fischer of the Harvard men's lacrosse team has been named Ivy League Player of the Week following a strong defensive performance on Saturday against Princeton, conference officials announced Monday afternoon.
The accolade comes on the heels of Harvard's 9-8 win over then-14th ranked Princeton to secure a spot in the upcoming Ivy League Tournament. The victory also kept the Crimson tied with Cornell atop the Ancient Eight standings, with a win this Saturday at Yale clinching at least a share of the conference crown and the right to host the tournament.
Fischer anchored the defensive unit as it held Princeton, ranked ninth in the NCAA in scoring offense entering the weekend, to just eight goals, its lowest total of the season. The long stick midfielder was responsible for marking three-time All-American Tom Schreiber, and held the senior to zero points for just the second time in his career. Schreiber, who attempted six shots on the day, had come into the game as the fifth-leading scorer in the nation at 4.55 points per game.
Fischer turned in a similar performance two weeks ago when he stymied Cornell's Connor Buczek, an All-American a year ago, to zero points for the first time this season.
Fischer shares this week's award with Yale's Conrad Oberbeck. The honor marks the first of Fischer's career and the third time this season a member of the Crimson has garnered Ivy League Player of the Week accolades.

Annual Payment Plan
Annual billing takes place on the first Monday of September and subscribers receive an invoice which must be paid via company check. Those opting for annual billing receive a special bonus in their first year as they are only responsible for paying a prorated amount of the first year's fee through the September annual billing date, at which point they pay the first full subscription fee.
For example, if your organization initiated service 145 days before the subsequent annual billing date, the initial payment would only be $810.41 for a Venture Standard plan and $2,040 for a Venture Pro plan!
Monthly Payment Plan
Monthly billing occurs on the 1st of each month, or the closest subsequent business day if the 1st falls on a weekend or holiday, and is only payable by credit card (company check payments are not available for this option).
Venture Artist users: $67.00/mo.
(monthly fee: $74 + $2.96 service charge = $76.96)
Venture Platform: $170/mo.
(monthly fee: $170 + $6.8 service charge = $176.80)
Venture Pro: $394/mo.
(monthly fee: $394 + $15.76 service charge = $3409.76)
If service begins on a day other than the 1st of the month, the prorated fee is added the subsequent month's payment and is due at the onset of the subscription. Recurring billing begins on the second full month of service.

If you thought I had forgotten about the boys, you were wrong....you were SO wrong. Men in my country don't take style too seriously, or even a part of their professional life. But men in other parts of the world, such as Europe, do put a little thought on what they wear, even if its just for a little bit; and that thought goes a long way. Nowadays, men need to include fashion and style into their every day life because it has become a key part to ones success, and it shouldn't surprise you, since you have never seen a highly successful guy in rags (except for the ones that turn into hippies).
[Blue hues and denim are your best friends all year round, be sure to pair them with something that stands out, that way you'll look stylish and posh]
So here are a few examples from the same contributor of last time, Edgar Llorden, my amazing AMAZING buddy that keeps on sending me these perfect examples of street style for men. So take a seat and get inspired. And if you start feeling pressured to have a make over or to start dressing up a little bit, then my will has been done. Because a raggedy style doesn't transmit that you're a "mans man" it just says "I'm too lazy to take care of myself" and we don't want the ladies (or gentlemen) to feel that, right?
[Either looking sharp all in black, or mixing in some earth tones, make sure to make smart choices for the shapes and fits. Oversized coats are not something to be proud of, show your best side and have fun]
PS: If you see yourself on this post, or someone you know, let me know and I'll link your FB, BLOGS, TW, IG, VINE, YOUTUBE or whatever social network you want in here. Thank you so much for your cooperation boys, you are inspiring people all around the globe with your awesome choices.

Cats A-weigh! is a 1953 Merrie Melodies cartoon directed by Robert McKimson. It stars Sylvester, Sylvester Junior, and Hippety Hopper.
The title is a play on the phrases "castaway" and "Anchors Aweigh," alluding to the nautical theme.
Sylvester brings his son to the wharf to scavenge for fish heads. Junior laments the fact they have to scrounge for food and wishes they had a real home. When they see a ship advertising for a mouser, Junior urges his dad to apply. Sylvester doesn't want to work, but agrees to take the job when Junior says he'll help.
Sylvester lounges aboard ship while his son chases the mice. When Junior bemoans the iniquity, Sylvester says Junior is a little cat so he should handle all the little mice, and that he himself is a big cat so he'll take care of any big mice that come along. Soon Junior chases a little mouse into a crate in the cargo hold. He opens the crate to get the mouse, but out hops Hippety Hopper, a baby kangaroo. The cats think it's a giant mouse, so Sylvester tries to hold up his end of the bargain, but Hippety pummels him.
Sylvester now strikes a new bargain. Since there are a whole bunch of little mice, he should take care of them, and Junior can take care of the big one. Junior agrees halfheartedly and soon encounters Hippety again. He notices that Hippety imitates his actions, so he starts dancing and leads the kangaroo back into its cage. He proudly shows it to his father, who again tries to uphold his end of the bargain. Sylvester chases a little mouse around the hold until it scurries into a crate of Super Muscle-Building Vitamins...
The version of this cartoon shown on CBS cut the part where Sylvester chases a mouse into a crate of Super-Muscle Building Vitamins and the mouse ingests them and becomes super strong, making the ending where Sylvester gets pummeled by the mouse inexplicable.[1]

In an emerging mobile ecosystem of mobile devices, smartphones, and media tablets, customer education will fortify your organization against mobile's chief dangers: weak security measures and risky user behavior.
Whether your credit union is an active mobile banking player, phasing in mobile services, or taking a wait-and-see approach, now is the time to implement one of the most effective security strategies in mobile fraud prevention: member and staff education.
Cybercriminals are finding mobile fraud to be far more lucrative than traditional PC-based campaigns. Tricking consumers remains the easiest way for hackers to breach a credit union's security network and steal treasure—your member and organizational data.
Customized viruses, designer malware, and man-in-the-middle or "sniffing" attacks via unsecured Wi-Fi networks target specific mobile platforms to steal banking and personal data.
Malware on Androids alone has jumped 400% since the summer of 2010. An Infosecurity report ranked apps and app stores as "the greatest malicious software delivery system ever invented."
Mobile security coaches
Train all staff in secure mobile banking practices, proper payment procedures, and the latest threat risks. Share updates to maintain a security mindset.
Once trained, member-facing employees can proactively coach members on mobile banking services and offer practical tips on everything from basic password hygiene to verifying authenticity of third-party apps prior to installation.
Teach your mobile users to treat their devices like a credit card with the Internet attached. According to a 2010 SANS Institute report, 85% of smartphone users don't employ an anti-virus solution to scan for malware.
Teach them about phishing. Train them to never click on a link sent from your credit union via e-mail or text.
Drill your members in the basics: Keep your phone safe, lock your mobile device when not in use, and use a strong password.
Urge members to not store sensitive information on a phone, such as credit card data, passwords, user ID details, or proprietary work information.
Encourage members to:
CU security
To improve security, credit unions should centralize the administration of mobile device policies and enforcement; the ability to locate and remote-lock, wipe, backup, and restore facilities for lost and stolen devices; and monitor device activity for inappropriate use and data leakage.
Other essential precautions include the use of:
New mobile banking channels—mobile payments, near field communication (NFC), and person-to-person payments are also prompting a virtual third-party gold rush. Google Wallet is launching its mobile payment system this summer.
Visa Mobile, Isis, and Square have staked their own NFC systems, with Apple and Amazon yet to jump, and multiple players in the wings.
Whatever the near future holds, turning a phone into a wallet involves tapping into the liquidity and credit lines now parked in your credit union. At the very least, this presents an opportunity for substantive member education.

Photo a Day 2017 and Beyond
Well, here we are again. I don't visit this space that much these days. It seems mostly that media has changed along with the way I use it to inspire and challenge my work. As such, while this blog is mostly left up because I feel this site was useful at time that I needed it to be, I will likely not be returning to this medium in the neat future. This isn't to say that I am done with the business of making pictures and capturing stories, it's just that this isn't the place that I will be sharing them. I'm still doing the annual photo a day, I just won't be sharing it here. But to keep me honest, I am sharing it over on the Instagrams. If it's something you really need to see, feel free to pop on over to https://www.instagram.com/dimagibaphoto/ If not, no worries. Keep challenging yourself and keep growing.

Why do babies always come back from the nursery wrapped in neat little packages? Because nurses know one of the secrets to a happy, calm baby is swaddling. This time-honored technique has so many benefits. For one, it can help your baby feel snug and secure as he adjusts to life outside the womb, which reduces crying. Swaddling can also prevent your little one from waking when he startles — something newborns do a lot. A swaddle wrap will also keeps your baby comfortably toasty until his internal thermostat kicks in to gear. Here's the scoop on how to swaddle. And trust me, it's easier than it looks.
First, spread a receiving blanket out flat, with one corner pointing up so the blanket is in the shape of a diamond. Fold down the top corner about six inches. Your baby's head goes here, with his neck on the folded-over part and his body extending straight down toward the bottom corner. Take the left side of the blanket, and wrap it over his left arm and chest. Then tuck it under his other arm and back. So now his left arm is covered, and his right one is free.
Next, fold the bottom corner of the blanket up and over baby's body and tuck it into the first fold — under that tiny chin. Pull the right side of the blanket over his right arm and tuck it under his back. Ta-da: baby burrito!
Still not sure you can do this at home? No worries — some swaddlers come with Velcro tabs that make it super easy to wrap up your baby.Some babies like a full-on swaddle, others prefer to have their arms free — if yours does, just wrap the blanket around his chest and legs. As your baby gets more active, around three months or so, he'll probably outgrow that swaddle altogether.

Gunns // Hamjam Split Launch, Saturday 13 December, Mojo's
Supported by: Doctopus, Aborted Tortoise, Peter Bibby
Doctopus were their free-spirited best as they opened the night with some loose garage punk tunes. The choice to cover Stevie Moore in all the sets they play is beyond understandable, it is welcomed. Frontman Stephen Bellaire is starting to resemble some kind of messianic Aussie Andrew WK the more I see him on stage.
Aborted Tortoise seem pretty into their dad's collection of 70s punk, filtered through lead singer Conor Lane's gnarly Aussie inflections. I feel like I'm gonna be talking on and on about the characteristic Aussie accents possessed by all the singers for this gig, a focus probably misplaced considering all the acts were Perth locals (Midland and Freo mainly, so it shouldn't be that surprising, it's just incredibly nice to hear).
Peter Bibby, part poet laureate part cult hero, is back in his hometown of Perth (expatriated to Melbourne some time ago) for 4 days and playing 5 gigs just because he can. His debut album which came out last month (on Spinning Top alongside Gunns and all of the Pond/Tame Impala squad) as got to be one of my favourite releases from this year, if not ever, and he played 'Guts' and 'Friends' from not before admitting in song format about his great desire to give fellatio a go. Finishing with the last song off his record (we can't publish it's name for reasons which will become evident when you see it) Bibby was met with an ecstatic response from the crowd. It's no surprise Pond brought him along for their US tour (as well as Doctopus, greatest tour ever).
Two things to note from Hamjam's set: Hamish Rahn's stage banter ("Shout out to libraries, libraries are cool. Chris works in a library. Tom did too but now works at the federal court 'cos he's a big boy now.") and the fact that they chose to play their cover of iLoveMakkonen (and Drake)'s 'Tuesday' with Stephen Bellaire coming on stage for vocal duties instead of playing their side of the split (the incredibly groovy 'Double Ride' ) that the night was all about. 10/10 Hamjam, keepin' it real. Nice Triffids' shirt as well.
Gunns brought the night home with dream pop laden tunes about the beach, summer, and sunshine. Going through tracks such as 'The Fool' and 'Live by the Sea' they are a force to be reckoned with. Having just supported San Cisco on their national tour Gunns are currently at their best. Requests for them to play their oldest song were dismissed as they showed an eagerness to delve into newer material such as their side of the split, the noisy summer anthem 'Gimme Sunshine'. Frontman Clinton Oliver's guitar was decorated with a "Hamjam Sucks" sticker (not gonna mention the one on the back)(Gunns and Hamjam share three members so it's more affectionate than rude, although I guess it could still be both).
Anyway, in short: gig of the year.
Grab one of the remaining copies of the 7" Gunns//Hamjam split from Good Company Records.

What Your Armpit Hair Says About You
The sight of hair can trigger an emotional response depending on cultural expectations. One Swedish woman faced global criticism for exposing her grown armpit hair, although her compatriots stood by her in solidarity. Gender and culture combine to shape attitudes towards hair. It is taboo for women to grow armpit hair in some cultures, but not in others. Men's armpit hair is acceptable in places that reject women's armpit hair. And the societal norms for men's facial hair depend on the culture. The men at an American protest depicted above shaved their faces but let their armpit hair grow. Regardless of societal pressure, hair is a natural phenomenon, and one has the right to shave or grow hair as one sees fit.

Dear Diary,
Over the weekend, I spent a good amount of time doing my favorite thing in the world. Ogling. First, I ogled my boyfriend while he slept (Don't worry it wasn't creepy at all [Yes it was {No it wasn't}]). Then, I ogled the view I have of downtown LA out my bedroom window. Then, I ogled the collection of garbage with which I've filled my home, trying desperately to convince myself that it's all treasure.
My man picked up these awesome side tables from Pepe's. $250 for the pair.
Emily bought this for me while we were shooting Secrets. I still love it. It was $150 at a vintage store in Burbank.
Grabbed this high boy from the Rose Bowl for $200. The art above it is all vintage, except for the small Japanese print I got from my mom and the metal horse sculpture from Emily.
I found this quirky brass dish at the Goodwill in West LA.
This coral comes from Rose Bowl, $30.
This pink coral was $25, also from Rose Bowl.
These white lamps have confused me since I found them for $20 at St. Vincent's Thrift Store. They are ugly, right? Or are they cool? Like in a Kelly Wearstler way? I'm confused. And scared. And worried.
This little deer holds all my bolo ties and necklaces. Everyone knows that a real gentlemen has a bolo tie collection. The wall color is Lost Atlantis by Valspar, but I might be changing it (for free, with their Love Your Color guarantee). Stay tuned.
An old Ralph Lauren fashion party invite I turned into a piece of weird art with museum pins. And some stacks of books. Did you know I love stacks of books? I do:
Found this awesome octopus footed bowl at the Santa Monica Flea Market for $20.
I got this awesome Yoshitomo Nara clock when I graduated from college. I still love it. $350.
Snagged this little etching from Rose Bowl a few months ago. Tiny landscapes rock my world. $10.
The small vase is from Anthropologie a few years back. You can still grab the lacquer toothbrush holder from West Elm for $9.
This shelf is supposed to be used as a closet organizer but I liked it enough to make it into bathroom storage. It's from Pottery Barn. $249.
This Archipelago agave-scented candle smells delicious and costs $30.
And, most importantly, I snagged this beautiful Japanese Screen at the Rose Bowl for $200. Not cheap, but the framing alone is worth that much so I though it was worth it.
So as you go about your day today, working, being a normal person, I will still be in my apartment, alone, ogling my things. Forever and ever. Until I die.

Status Quo Prevails in Supreme Court Teachers Union Decision
In the first major case that would have benefited from the late Justice Antonin Scalia's vote, the Supreme Court reached a deadlock earlier this week on a challenge brought by public school teachers who say they should not have to pay union dues.
The case, brought forth by California teachers, challenged a state law requiring non-union workers to pay "fair share" fees into the public-employee unions. These fees are currently used to cover collective bargaining costs.
Because the court reached a 4-4 split decision, the lower court ruling previously set that sided with unions will be left in place.
The resulting vote was unexpected, with many believing the court would rule 5-4 to overturn the system that has been used for close to 40 years. However, only eight justices are left after the untimely death of Scalia, who was expected to rule in favor of the plaintiffs.
A national precedent has not been set by the decision, nor is it known how each justice voted. What it does do is uphold a decision made by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The ruling applies to eight Western states including California.
The original case questioned the system currently used by 23 states in addition to the Washington, D.C., who are represented by public sector unions. Labor officials argued that if the fees were no longer required, the loss of potentially tens of millions of dollars could cause a reduction in their bargaining power for higher wages and benefits for government employees.
At the same time, teachers in California said that being forced to pay union fees violated their free speech rights as nonmembers who disagree with the positions held by the union. Lead plaintiff Rebecca Friedrichs, a public school teacher from Orange County, California, said that although she had resigned from the California Teachers Association, she was still required to pay almost $650 a year for bargaining costs.
The court had been asked to overturn the 1977 decision made in Abood vs. Detroit Board of Education, which had ruled in favor of the unions. As a result of that case, states were allowed to let public-employee unions collect fees from nonmembers in order to pay for costs associated with workforce negotiations, but their fees could not go toward any portion of the union's political activities. Fees are allowed to be collected in over 20 states, reports David Savage for The Los Angeles Times.
The court was also split on a question concerning how the fees would be collected, writes Robert Barnes for The Washington Post.
While the court could call for a rehearing of the issue, it seems unlikely since the Senate has said they will not act on President Obama's nomination of Judge Merrick Garland to replace Scalia, and it is unknown when the court will again have a ninth justice.
"With the death of Justice Scalia, this outcome was not unexpected," said Terry Pell, the president of the Center for Individual Rights, the public-interest law firm that brought the case on behalf of the teachers. He said a non-decision was unacceptable.
"Either compulsory dues are an acceptable exception to the First Amendment or they are not. A full court needs to decide this question, and we expect this case will be reheard when a new justice is confirmed," Pell said.

A functional hydrogen infrastructure hinges on a sufficiently dense network of fuelling stations. As a pioneer in hydrogen technologies, we cover the full hardware chain for both liquid (LH2) and gaseous (GH2) hydrogen. One of the key processes in fuelling is compression, because the fuelling is carried out using compressed gaseous H2 at pressures from 35 to 70 MPa.
Our engineers have developed different compression technologies that allow, for example, hydrogen-powered cars to be fuelled in around three minutes – the same time it takes to refuel a petrol or diesel car.
With the ionic compressor and the cryo pump Linde has two cutting-edge, self-developed and patented technologies in its portfolio which combine outstanding performance and maximum energy efficiency. Both systems can be optimally tailored to meet your individual requirements.

Colin-Firth Approved Clothing: Mr Porter Marks Kingsman Sequel With First Shop
A Wardrobe worthy of Colin Firth and Pedro Pascal: dress like a Kingsman at the new Mr Porter shop in St James's.
Mr Porter partnered with director Matthew Vaughn in 2015 to birth Kingsman, a 'costume to collection' menswear label inspired by blockbuster of the same name. The dapper selection spans suits, watches and accessories with a focus on British tailoring and collaborations.
The luxury e-tailer has once again partnerd with Vaughn and Twentieth Century Fox for the sequel to this entertaining espionage caper, Kingsman: The Golden Circle. The film reunites actors Colin Firth, Taron Egerton and Mark Strong, alongside A-list newcomers Pedro Pascal, Channing Tatum and Elton John. Unlike the first film, which was predominantly set in central London, the sequel sees the Kingsman travel overseas to meet an allied spy organisation in the US, the Statesmen.
Cue a new 'costume to collection' showcase from Mr Porter that places pin-sharp British tailoring alongside Western blazers, Stetson hats and sumptuous shearling coats, available to try and buy for the very first time at a bricks-and-mortar Mr Porter pop-up shop in St James's.
The impeccable pop-up boutique is housed next door to the 300-year-old wine merchant Berry Bros. & Rudd, a location integral to the new film. The authentic space is rife with signature Kingsman gadgets and touch-activated, interactive elements, certain to excite the boy in every man.
Kingsman costume designer Arianne Phillips assisted on the new collection, which includes a vibrant orange smoking jacket worn by Taron Egerton and a Golden Bear varsity jacket emblazoned with 'Poppy' – a nod to the Delevingne who also stars on screen alongside Julianne Moore.
Accessories include eyewear from Cutler & Gross; cufflinks by Deakin Francis, notebooks by Smythson and an exclusive Tag Heuer Connected Modular 45 Kingsman Special Edition watch. The display is grounded by George Cleverley brogues, Adidas sneakers and Lucchese Western boots.
All accessories are available to purchase in-store while clothing can be ordered for next-day delivery.
Mayfair and St James's local clientele will feel right at home here amongst Savile Row-inspired double-breasted suiting and Mackintosh coats. It also caters however for a younger audience seeking sportswear and denim.
"After the first film, we were successful in launching a new luxury brand that translated directly from the screen, and had relevance and resonance in both the fashion and film industries," said Vaughn. "Now we get to take that experience a step further in opening the Kingsman Shop, and bringing the film's setting to life for customers and fans alike."
So, are you a Kingsman or a Statesman? Head to the new St James's boutique to find out.
Open Friday 8 September 2017, Monday to Saturday, 10.00am to 6.00pm; The Kingsman Shop, 4 St James's Street, London SW1A 1EF, www.mrporter.com.

Supportive Treatments for Patients With Multiple Myeloma
Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG)
Patients with multiple myeloma often have low levels of the normal antibodies (immunoglobulins) needed to fight infection. This can lead to problems with lung and/or sinus infections that keep coming back. The level of antibodies in the patient's blood can be tested, and if it's low, antibodies from donors can be given into a vein (IV) to raise the levels and help prevent infections. The antibodies given are called IVIG or intravenous immunoglobulin. IVIG is often given once a month at first, but may be able to be given less often based on blood tests of antibody levels.
Treatment for low blood cell counts
Some patients develop low red blood cell counts (anemia) from multiple myeloma or its treatment. They might feel tired, lightheaded, or short of breath while walking. Anemia that's causing symptoms can be treated with blood transfusions. These are often given on an outpatient basis.
Epoetin (Procrit) and darbepoetin (Aranesp) are drugs that can help improve low red blood cell counts and reduce the need for blood transfusions in some patients who are getting chemotherapy. But these drugs are used much less often because they have been linked to poorer survival in some patients with lymphoid cancers, such as multiple myeloma.
Plasmapheresis can be used to remove myeloma protein from the blood. It's helpful when certain myeloma proteins build up, thicken the blood, and interfere with circulation (called hyperviscosity).
Most often, this procedure is done through a large catheter (tube) placed in a vein in the neck, under the collarbone, or in the groin. This catheter is hooked up to a machine, and blood flows into the machine. The machine separates the blood cells from the blood plasma (liquid part of the blood), and then returns the blood cells to the patient, along with either salt solution or donor plasma. The plasma that's removed, which contains the abnormal antibody protein made by the myeloma cells, is discarded.
Although plasmapheresis lowers the abnormal protein level and can relieve symptoms for a time, it does not kill the myeloma cells. That means that without further treatment, the protein will just build up again. For this reason, plasmapheresis is often followed by chemotherapy or some other type of drug treatment to kill the cells that make the protein.

Bread, Wine, Chocolate by Preeti Simran Sethi, Simran Sethi
In Bread, Wine, Chocolate: The Slow Loss of Foods We Love by Preeti Simran Sethi, Simran Sethi, they explore the history and cultural importance of our most beloved tastes, paying homage to the ingredients that give us daily pleasure, while providing a thoughtful wake-up call to the homogenization that is threatening the diversity of our food supply. We're excited to share more about this book with you today on the blog! Start reading an excerpt of Bread, Wine, Chocolate: The Slow Loss of Foods We Love and purchase a copy from your favorite retailer today.
More from the book:
"Eating," author, farmer and philosopher Wendell Berry says, "is an agricultural act." Food connects us to all living things, and to the lineage of who we are and where we come from. It isn't farmers in fields and work- ers in factories who bring us our food; it's people like us. People who dedicate their lives to creating something that we take into our bodies. They transform nature into culture, as what they touch becomes part of us. This intimacy is astonishing and humbling.
We treat our food system as an abstract thing; however, it's a dynamic entity made up of these relationships, ones I have come to fully appreci- ate through the journeys on these pages. But this isn't where I started. The first wine I loved was a peach Bartles & Jaymes wine cooler. The first coffee I tolerated—heavily diluted with half-and-half and sugar, and chased with a glazed doughnut—was at the world's original Krispy Kreme. My favorite chocolate bars were Whatchamacallit, Twix and Nestlé Crunch—in that order. Until a year and a half ago, all I knew of coffee was that I preferred a cappuccino to a latte. But now I grill baristas about coffee origins, beg friends to bring back chocolate from various countries and quiz breweries about the source of their hops.
I am not trying to be precious. I have learned, by traveling to the places where some of our favorite foods and drinks began, that these foods are precious. I had no idea how hard it was to get a coffee bean from a forest in Ethiopia to my local café, or how much work and care went into making a premium bar of chocolate or a hearty loaf of bread. I had no idea how endangered the best, most delicious versions of these things are. This awareness is what makes them precious, and, meal by meal, makes my life better.
By helping you more deeply understand foods that are already a part of your life, and develop a sensory map for exploring new ones, this book will enable you to discover and appreciate flavors you may not have experienced. It will give you the tools to define your own deliciousness—and reach for more.
That's been this journey's greatest reward: finding a new appreciation for what I already loved. And understanding what it takes to sustain and save that love—in farms, on our plates and in life—lies in the recognition that how we eat is a reflection of how we live. By sustaining agricultural biodiversity, we sustain ourselves.

There have been moments, in all of the Republican debates, that could have, should have, been fun—from the lightning-questions round to the Reagan video clips and the entire Herman Cain experience—if only the future of our nation wasn't actually at stake. One came last night, when Rick Perry was asked why anyone should consider him up for the job of President. He had an answer ready:> You know, there are a lot of people out there—I understand it. There are a lot of folks that said Tim Tebow wasn't going to be a very good NFL quarterback.
There are people that stood up and said well, he doesn't have the right throwing mechanisms, or he doesn't—you know, he is not playing the game right.
You know, he won two national championships, and that looked pretty good. We're the national champions in job creation back in Texas. But am I ready for the next level? Let me tell you—I hope I am the Tim Tebow of the Iowa caucuses.
I am someone who did not think that Tim Tebow was going to be a very good N.F.L. quarterback. I'm willing to accept his victories so far as a reminder that the world can be a strange place. I do not think that they are indications that one should choose, as President of the United States, someone who does not seem to have the basic skills for the job, or know or care much about the world. Perry isn't even as good as Tebow is at things that are more a politician's job than a quarterback's. Has Perry said anything extemporaneously that is coherent enough to put on a plaque in a locker room? And yet, for five minutes, I thought that Perry's riff might make for a fun game: one could then decide which N.F.L. quarterbacks all the other candidates were. But I failed. It just seemed so unfair to the quarterbacks, who tend to possess a basic level of competence (whatever the character issues), or don't stay as starters too long. Romney is no Tom Brady. And if Newt is JaMarcus Russell, why is he still in the playoffs? But perhaps that is a failure of imagination on my part: suggestions are welcome.
(Speaking of imagined things: I have a post today in our end-of-year series on an alternate history of 2011.)
On the whole, as David Remnick writes, the debate was depressing for many reasons. (The one Remnick focusses on has to do with gay marriage.) There is something psychically wearying about relying on Michele Bachmann to hold Newt Gingrich to account. But then she is much better at driving others off the stage—remember the Minnesotan-on-Minnesotan rhetorical violence of her fight with Tim Pawlenty?—than she is at explaining why she herself is there. ("I am a serious candidate for the Presidency of the United States," she said, or rather argued.) Not that she quieted Gingrich down. He started the evening explaining that he had spent "twenty-three years teaching one- and two-star generals and admirals the art of war," and came close to inciting the other candidates to pledge to storm courthouses, rip off the robes, and break the gavels of judges they didn't like. (Ron Paul, helpfully, stopped, or paused, the madness.) In a post-debate debriefing, Sean Hannity asked him about the exchange, and got a full Gingrichian preen. Perry presenting himself as Tebow seems less grating when Gingrich begins comparing himself to Lincoln:
I commended Megyn Kelley for raising it and staying on it. Tonight is the first time, I think probably since Lincoln's debates in 1860—his inaugural in 1861—have you seen a Presidential candidate in this kind of a setting talking in depth about the need to rebalance the judiciary. And talking about it in a very serious, sophisticated way, not just railing against liberal judges.
So that's what we got last night: the sort of scene that one only comes across every century and a half. Is that a promise? Here's hoping.

Skift Take
As some airlines begin removing complex entertainment systems in favor of iPads, precious space and weight is saved that could be used to allow passengers to adjust temperatures to their liking.
The indoor climate on airplanes is a frequent source of complaints. In the future, passengers should be able to set their own individualized climate and temperature controls and also be able to adjust air supply to their own personal preference. At the ILA Berlin Air Show from September 11 – 16, among other things, researchers will be presenting an airplane seat that is able to provide for these settings.

Male crickets prioritize the life of their female partners ahead of their own, even though it means a dramatic rise for the former in the risk of being eaten, research published Thursday said.
In perhaps the insect equivalent of holding the door open, infrared video pictures of a wild population of field crickets (Gryllus campestris) in Spain showed males giving females priority access to the safety of a burrow.
Rolando Rodriguez-Munoz of the University of Exeter in England said the study showed that chivalrous behavior is not exclusively linked to humans, education or intelligence.
"We showed that even males of small insects, which we would not define as intelligent or affective, can be 'chivalrous' or protective with their partners," he added.
The research was published in the cell press journal Current Biology.
Most previous studies of cricket mating behavior had been conducted in the laboratory.
The results are contrary to the usual interpretation of male guarding behavior as an attempt to manipulate females and prevent them from mating with rivals, the researchers said.
However, male crickets in the study were rewarded for their risky behavior, as their extended stays with females won them more offspring.
"Lone female and male crickets suffer similar rates of predation, but when a pair is attacked, the female's chances of survival increase as the male's chances drop," the researchers said.
"In compensation for their increased predation risk, paired males mate more frequently and father more of their partner's offspring.
"We are looking forward to seeing whether chivalry prevails in future generations," Rodriguez-Munoz said, noting that the current study is based on three consecutive mating seasons.
"There may be some years when both sexes behave in a more obviously selfish fashion and attempt to escape down the burrow first."

Separation Agreements in North Carolina
North Carolina offers only two grounds for divorce: one year's separation or insanity. Though almost all divorces are based on separation, you and your spouse can create a separation or settlement agreement before or after you split up to address property issues or other terms of a divorce. Once you sign a separation agreement, it is legally binding as a contract, but you do not actually have to file for divorce a year later. Even if you remain separated after the year is up or get back together with your spouse, your separation agreement remains a legally binding contract.
Divorce from Bed and Board
Signing an agreement is the most common way for spouses to separate in North Carolina, but you can also petition the court for a "divorce from bed and board" under some circumstances. Divorce from bed and board is similar to legal separation in many ways. It allows a judge to decide property distribution and other issues without actually terminating your marriage, but it is not available under all circumstances. You must be able to establish evidence to prove one of six fault-based grounds, including abandonment, cruel treatment or adultery. If you qualify for divorce from bed and board, the judge can split your property and even force you or your spouse out of your marital home.
Post-Divorce Proceedings
Unlike other states, North Carolina allows spouses to divorce without first resolving property settlement issues. If you and your spouse cannot reach a settlement agreement, you can still obtain a legal divorce, but during the divorce proceedings you must reserve the right to revisit property settlement issues after the divorce. If you do not ask the court to decide property issues later, and they are not decided during the divorce proceeding, you lose the right to go back to court and ask for a property division order later after the divorce is final.
Equitable Distribution
If you and your spouse ask the court to divide your property, it will use its judgment to make an equitable distribution. This does not necessarily mean an equal split, though most judges favor equal divisions of property in most cases. North Carolina courts consider several factors before dividing marital property, including the length of the marriage, your ages and health, other support obligations, the contributions each spouse made to the marital property, and the earning capacities and financial situations of the parties. The court does not follow a specific formula to automatically decide how property must be split.

How to: Change the Distributed Cache Service managed account 2013
Hi friends.
When you get the annoying pink marker in CA and one of the issues it warns you about, is that 'the farm account should not be used for other services' In my case, the scripted install had set the 'Distributed Cache Service (Windows Service)' to use the farm account as managed account. As the 2013 Central Admin is (or tries to be) helpful, it gives you the direct link to the: 'Security' – 'General Security' – 'Configure Service Accounts' and tells you to change it there.
To fix it, just click the link, find the service in the dropdown and select another Managed account in the lower dropdown. Then click ok…..but nooo…that one wont fly.
Changing the service account on this service cannot be done this way and has to be done using PowerShell…thats what you get back.
Well…after some short researching I found this to work ok: (first load the snapin, add-pssnapin microsoft.sharepoint.powershell)
$farm = Get-SPFarm
$cacheService = $farm.Services | where {$_.Name -eq "AppFabricCachingService"}
$accnt = Get-SPManagedAccount -Identity <domain\user>
$cacheService.ProcessIdentity.CurrentIdentityType = "SpecificUser"
$cacheService.ProcessIdentity.ManagedAccount = $accnt
(Where <domain\user> is the domain name and user name of the managed account you want to use instead.)
Note: Beware of the doublequotes if you copy the code…
Wait until it has run, then you will find that the service has a new managed account.
Go back to the Health Analyzer report page and remove the alert.

2 sent to hospital after multiple shootings
Police investigate multiple shootings on east side
SAN ANTONIO – Two shootings were reported almost simultaneously of each other Friday night on the city's east side.
The first incident happened around 8 p.m. Witnesses said a car stopped in the intersection of Morningview Drive and Wheatley Road and fired multiple gunshots into a convenience store. Witnesses said the shots sounded like they came from a semi-automatic weapon.
One person was shot in the leg and was transported to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Police said the car involved in the incident was a black Ford Taurus. No arrests have been made.
Police responded to a second shooting soon after. Officers said a woman was shot in the buttocks in the 4400 block of Hein Road.
Officers in the area said they spotted a car that failed to stop at a stop sign. Investigators said when officers pulled the car over, four suspects got out and fled on foot.
A canine unit was brought in to help with the search and the suspects were eventually apprehended, authorities said.
Although the shootings occurred close to one another, police said Friday they were treating the shootings as separate incidents.

Advice abounds online for parents who are helping their adult children financially—"Kick 'em out!" Dr. Phil says. There's considerably less information about the opposite scenario, which is just as common and natural—how, as an older adult, to ask your adult children to help with your finances.
You'll need to balance several factors. First, you're going to have to give up some of your autonomy in order to gain a broader sense of balance and freedom, and that can take quite an emotional toll even if it makes good sense. Second, you also don't want to jeopardize your relationship with your children by asking too much or broaching the subject in the wrong way.
Setting boundaries is key, as is understanding your child's mindset. "Finances tend to be one of the trickiest topics because people do have traditional ideas about what you should and shouldn't talk about," says Amy Goyer, a caregiving expert at AARP, quoted in The New York Times. Although many adult children avoid starting these conversations because they don't want to appear intrusive, scheduling a family meeting to talk about money can help dissolve communication barriers. Bringing in other trusted family members or professionals to the meeting can also help to ensure that the tone of the discussion is positive, points out the Times article.
Sometimes circumstances require asking your children if you can move in with them. "Having good visits with your children doesn't necessarily promise a good co-living arrangement," an expert cautioned AARP, which offers "rules of the road" for making such a request, including working out financial, privacy, and chore- and schedule-balance arrangements.
Another AARP article offers five tips for people thinking about asking their adult children for financial help:
1. Be careful when choosing which child, or children, to ask for help. "Avoid giving this responsibility to any child who has his [or her] own money problems or is struggling with addiction," one expert told AARP. Instead, you might consider asking another close relative or trusted friend for help, or possibly even a professional fiduciary.
2. Make the first move by asking to begin a conversation. "When it's time to talk, have the conversation face to face, with financial documents in hand," AARP advises. And consider giving your child advance warning, rather than springing the discussion on her or him out of the blue (for instance, during the holidays). When you've agreed on something, put it in writing.
3. Be blunt and exhaustive. When you need to enlist the help of someone you trust, you won't help either yourself or him or her by keeping details close to your chest. Be specific about your income sources, the professionals you've hired to help, and your bills, insurance costs, taxes, medical and caregiver expenses, and any other estate-related issues.
4. Divide the labor realistically. When you sit down to talk, make sure it's crystal clear who will be doing what. "If you're going to keep handling some financial tasks yourself, describe what you do, so a child can quickly step in if necessary," AARP notes.
5. Protect yourself. No one wants things to go sour, but it's better to overprepare. "Have a child share power of attorney with a third party such as a professional fiduciary," one expert told AARP. "This creates a system of checks and balances."
Another way to frame the initial conversation, and something that could continue to guide it in a fruitful direction, is to ask your adult child to help you identify current technologies that could be employed to help relieve some of the burdens you're facing. "Members of the younger generation are often up to date on new technologies and personal finance trends," notes a Bankrate article. "Use this to your advantage. Your child might be able to find ways to help you save on various items, from insurance and car loans to cell phone plans and monthly utilities."
Whether you need direct financial support or just help managing on-time bill paying, both you and your adult child will want to be sure to take all the important issues into account, and to ensure that everyone is fully informed. If either of you has questions about how and when you should ask for help with your finances, visit stepupfinances.com for a free e-book and other helpful resources for navigating managing senior finances.

The FCC's push for Net Neutrality legislation suffered another setback on Tuesday, after 95 of the candidates who pledged their support for it lost their elections.The Progressive Change Campaign Committee site has had a list of 95 candidates, all Democrats, listed on netneutralityprotectors.com/ as pledged supporters of Net Neutrality.
But, as CNN Money reports, all of them lost.
The FCC has been trying to expand its authority to regulate broadband internet providers, initially losing a court case in April. After that, it pushed Congress to pass legislation that would prevent the providers from blocking access to certain internet content, and force them to treat all web content providers equally.
Republicans have mostly been opposed to Net Neutrality, and the Tea Party even formed a coalition against it back in August, arguing that it hurts freedom.
Late Update: Adam Green, co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee told TPM in an e-mail today:
There is no sane political analyst in America who agrees with corporate shill Scott Cleland's assertion that Tuesday's Democratic wipeout was a 'national referendum' on Net Neutrality — or had anything to do with Net Neutrality. The only significant thing about Net Neutrality in 2010 is that 95 Democratic challengers felt confident enough to actively tell voters they support this pro-consumer position while zero candidates across the country felt confident enough to actively tell voters they opposed Net Neutrality — for the obvious reason that opposing the free and open Internet would be a ridiculously stupid political move.

In keeping with featuring As Time Goes By actors who are sadly no longer with us, this week we're going to look at the life of Moyra Frasier who played Penny Johnson in the series.
You might be surprised to learn that Fraser, who was born on December 3rd 1923, was in her younger days a ballet dancer. She was born in Sydney, Australia, but raised in England after her parents, who were Scottish and Irish, emigrated when she was six months old. Fraser's sister, Shelagh grew up to become an actress, who gained recognition in the 1977 Star Wars film playing Luke Skywalker's aunt. Acting, however, was not what the younger Fraser daughter wanted to pursue. Instead ballet was her passion and at the age of 14 the flame haired youngster earned a scholarship to attend Sadler's Wells Ballet school, where she trained until she was old enough to join the company.
Fraser performed with Sadler's Wells throughout the 1940s. Her time with the company was not without incident. On a tour of the Netherlands in 1940, she and her fellow dancers were almost captured when Germany invaded the country. Fortunately they all managed to get on the last boat back to England. The close call didn't prevent Fraser crossing the channel again in 1944, when she went to Paris to sing and dance for the troops.
After leaving Sadler's Wells, the 5' 10" Fraser became an actress, appearing in plays, pantomimes and musical revues. Her stage debut was in 1946, when she appeared as the Spirit of Norway in the operetta Song of Norway. She returned to the Royal Ballet in 1958 to play one of the Ugly Sisters in Cinderella, but hung up her ballet shoes for good a year later to join the Old Vic Company. She was with the company for just one season from 1958-59, but her appearances were memorable; Audrey, the country wench, in Shakespeare's As You Like It, and Mistress Page in The Merry Wives of Windsor.
Among the members of the cast were Maggie Smith and Judi Dench, with whom Fraser shared a dressing room. Can you imagine?!! The three actresses, along with a handful of other company members, began a ritual of having Sunday lunches at each other's homes that would continue for 50 years. According to one of the friends, actor Alec McCowen, The Merry Wives of Windsor was the happiest show he ever worked in and was a "riot". As he related to the Guardian newspaper, "it was always very hard to get up the stairs in the interval because Moyra Fraser and Maggie had invariably collapsed with laughter and were rolling around hugging each other in these huge skirts."
Fraser was married twice. Her first husband was the author Douglas Sutherland with whom she had a daughter. Her second was publisher, journalist and Old Etonian Roger Lubbock. Together the couple became celebrated hosts, with Fraser frequently cooking for the British "literati". They had two sons and eight grandchildren.
Fraser's film career was limited. Her first film role was in 1948 in the musical The Dancing Years and her last in 1988 in A Handful of Dust, starring Kristin Scott Thomas. She also appeared in The Boy Friend in 1971, which starred Twiggy and Tommy Tune. Fraser kicked off her television career in the 1960s and it continued for the next 30 odd years. She appeared in As Time Goes By from 1993 until the series ended in 2005. You may also have seen her in Rumpole of the Bailey and in Good Neighbors (knows as The Good Life in the U.K.) where she played Felicity, the wife of Jerry's boss, Andrew.
Fraser died on December 13, 2009 at the age of 86.
