When interacting with older adults, it's helpful to know how to detect behaviors that might reflect mental health or dementia issues, and how to compassionately respond and connect them to resources. Developed in collaboration with AAI network member organizations, the Detect & Connect program is targeted to this need. To learn more about this program click here.

How did we get here?
In the fall of 2014, AAI was launched by the Marin County Board of Supervisors to address the needs of our county's aging citizens. During the initial six-month planning process local expertise was leveraged to cultivate a shared understanding of the county's aging landscape, community needs, program/service strengths and challenges, and future opportunities. Workgroups formed to develop plans for collective actions that 1) meet important community needs, 2) are "doable" within a one-year time frame, and 3) build and strengthen inter-agency relationships.
- Information Assistance & Referral Network
- Mental Health & Dementia
- Food & Nutrition
- Economic Security
Each workgroup oversaw the implementation of its action items and delegated the tactical work to smaller task force subcommittees. MARINSPACE provided process facilitation, administrative coordination, and behind-the-scenes project management services.
A shift in focus:
After much reflection about the progress and results of the workgroup structure and outcomes, the Steering Committee met to re-evaluate its strategy and how best to achieve the goals of AAI. By the end of 2016 it was decided to shift the focus of engagement from tactical, short-term goals to strategic, systemic change.
Since 2017, the focus and strategy of AAI is to:
- Address community issues through a lens of aging
- Focus collective effort on deeper, strategic, systemic impact
- Leverage existing efforts to coordinate, co-sponsor and convene

Our events are designed to help you in reprogramming negative beliefs, limiting behaviours and 'choking' thought processes. Develop the mindset of a champion! When fitness, training, skill and talent are the same, it is this mental edge that makes the difference.
This seminar or short-course typically teaches:
- Positive Self Motivation – How to motivate yourself and others in a positive, empowering way.
- Precision Visualisation Techniques – Learn advanced skills incorporating relaxation techniques to develop the optimum state for visualisation and positive mental rehearsal.
- Powerful Goal Achievement Strategies – How to clarify your desired positive outcome so that you can play with passion, purpose and pleasure.

- Create positive resource states that can be accessed easily to create winning results
- Create new strategies to deal with pressure
Understanding mind-body communication
Every regular sports participant, whether it be an individual or team activity, knows that the body affects the mind and the mind affects the body.
HNLP in sport, at its most basic, enables us to manage our mind-body so that we are in the best mental and physical state for successfully and enjoyably performing.
Understanding mind-body strategies
Whether as participants or coaches or managers we can use HNLP to 'model' or study a person's performance in order to identify how exactly they do something. HNLP provides a very effective route to identifying what accounts for their results – whether these are favourable or unfavourable.
We can identify how they successfully perform a particular operation in order to enable them to do this more consistently (or to teach their skill to someone else). And, of course, we can identify how precisely they unsuccessfully perform an operation in order to coach them in better ways of doing it.
Contact us for more information and to find out how one of these events can be created for you or your team's specific interests.
Presented by Jevon Dängeli – accredited NLP & HNLP Trainer, Coach and Master Hypnotherapist.

I'm just a tad sad right now about my four beautiful pots of bubble gum waves at the school. Someone was spraying the crushed rock for weeds, where the planters stand and killed all four. Right when they were at their loveliest. It took me a few days to finally let go, and realize there was just one thing left to do with them - send them to the compost grounds. Never even got a chance to take pictures of them.
Oh well, such is life...and death. And we still have many, many more lovely flowers around. So I will try to forget these, forgive the person who sprayed and celebrate the plants we can still enjoy for at least another two month. My colony is blessed with quite a few avid gardeners, and I love to listen to their flower stories - sometimes it seems like they're talking about their children.
My song for this post is one by Paul Gerhardt and is one of my favourite summer songs, Geh' aus mein Herz und suche Freud:

LeBonheur Pumpkin Run 5k Recap and Yard Work!
Whew! Today has been a LONG busy day!! First, let's do the race recap!
This race was AWESOME!! It always is, this is the 3rd year I have run in it. Before I started school, I worked at LeBonheur Children's Hospital so I am a BIG supporter!! It was nice to see some of the old patients and co-workers at the race!! So, since I didn't let ya'll in on my goals for the race last night, I will now!! I really wanted to go out and run HARD! And my first goal was to run under 29:00. And my second, more harder to achieve goal, was to run 28:xx. Well, I blew both out of the water and ran a 27:23! Wohoo!! I really surprised myself! That is an average pace of 8:48 min/ mile!! I usually have trouble with this race because there are a ton of hills, but since I now live around a ton of hills and train on them, I was really able to tackle this course!
Mile 1: I was running with a friend at the beginning so we chatted the first mile or so. This race was really jam packed so we were swerving around people a lot. The first mile went by so fast I couldn't believe it when Garmie chirped "one mile" at me! I was trying to run the first mile between a 9:30- 9:45 pace and I hit it right on with 9:43 for the first mile.
Mile 2: There were a lot more uphill's on this mile but I just chugged a long. My friend dropped back at about the 1.5 mile mark so I turned on my IPod and started jamming out! I was so glad I had uploaded some new tunes!! My mom was able to snap a quick picture of me right at the 2 mile mark.
Sorry it's a little blurry but it will do! Look how funny my hand looks! Haha. My time for my second mile was 8:41. I was really pushing it here, especially when I crossed the 2 mile marker and knew I had only 1 more mile to go!!
Mile 3-3.1: I was really pushing hard this last mile and was flying past a lot of people! It felt so good to still have a little energy left so I could really run fast!! Lots of hills on this mile too but I knew the course so I was prepared! Plus, I really do enjoy some hills!! I ran my last mile in 8:17! Here are some finishing photos!
The retarted hand again, I guess this is just how I run! You will notice it in some of the following pics also!
Here I look like I'm about to fall over sideways!! I was actually running super hard but I felt great at this point!!
Look at that determination face! I like this one!!
Just finished!! The clock time said 28:10 but we had a super slow start!! Garmie said 27:23 for 3.1 miles and that's my official time!!
I had a blast today!! The weather was really chilly, like 53 degrees, but felt good by then end of the race!! The t-shirt I wore is my good luck race shirt!! For some reason when the weather gets colder, I like wearing plain cotton t-shirts to run in vs. special dry-fit or cool max running shirts. Weird I know!!
They also had some super yummy food afterwards!! I got a Cherry- Vanilla Bagel from the Panera stand and a few orange slices! It was AMAZING! I would definitely eat that bagel again!! They also had hot dogs, pizza, Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream, donuts, pretty much everything you could think of!! It was a very fun time and I can't wait till next year!!
On to my yard work that I did today…
The rest of the day was spent mulching my yard, building more flower beds, and planting some fall flowers!! So glad my parents were there to help me! Al lucked out and had to work today so we got it all finished without him! Haha :) Here are some pics of our hard work!!
This is one side of my front yard. Planted all those pansies today! Check out the pretty mums I have back there!! Here is a close up of the mums…
I just LOVE that color!!
Here is the other side of my front yard! I am so happy with our work! Now, my next job is to tackle the back yard!!
Well, I am spent! I am so ready to just have a relaxing night catching up on my DVR with my Sadie girl!! Here is a cute little pic of her also!
She is such a sleepy head! Haha!!
Hope ya'll had a GREAT Saturday too!! Please share any fun activities!! :)

On 17 August 2017, Trial Chamber VIII of the ICC issued its Reparations Order in the Al Mahdi case. The Chamber found that Al Mahdi was liable for 2.7 million euros for (a) the damage caused by the attack of nine mosques and the Sidi Yahia Mosque door; (b) the economic loss caused to the individuals whose livelihoods depended upon the tourism and maintenance of these 'Protected Buildings' and to the community of Timbuktu as a whole; and (c) the moral harm caused by the attacks, as illustrated by one of the victims quoted in the order: "My faith is shattered. My family fled [.] […] I lost everything and all my faith" (at §85).
The Reparations Order builds upon the reparations principles established in Lubanga and Katanga. However, it is also one of the few opportunities public international law has had to pronounce upon appropriate reparations for heritage destruction—forming part of the string of 'firsts' involved in Al Mahdi thus far.
Who is a 'relevant victim' of cultural heritage destruction?
The Chamber identified three groups of victims: the inhabitants of Timbuktu, as the direct victims of the crime; the population of Mali; and, notably, the international community. The latter category is a new element in the reparations jurisprudence of the Court, and its inclusion in the present Order seems to be mostly a consequence of the particular category of crime the Chamber was dealing with.

|Me in the back of the pack
Slow and steady was my mantra. I walked frequently and ate a Gu at the first water stop. I treated this race like a "before picture" and next year when I'm (hopefully) trained, closer to pre-pregnancy weight, and acclimatized will be the "after picture".

Volunteers at the Interface between Formal and Non-Formal Education
Objavio Esra Telli
The Non-Formal Learning Handbook for Volunteers and Volunteering Organisations is an outcome of the project Volunteers at the Interface between Formal and Non-Formal Education. The main aims of this Erasmus+ Key Action 2 project have been to create synergies between formal and non-formal education, promote the use of non-formal, participatory learning methods in formal educational settings and thereby address the learning needs of children and youth, in particular young people at risk. In doing so, the project has strived also to strengthen the contributions of the large numbers of volunteers engaged in formal education projects worldwide. Spanning 20 months from 1st October 2015 to 31st May 2017, the project has involved ICYE National Committees in 15 countries (Austria, Bolivia, Colombia, Denmark, Finland, Ghana, Iceland, India, Italy, Mexico, Nepal, Poland, Slovakia, South Africa, UK) and 12 formal and non-formal education host organisations, where 14 EVS volunteers learnt, introduced, and experimented with a non-formal learning approach and methodology in the diverse groups they worked with (children in kindergartens, the differently abled, young people with special needs…) for an 8-month duration from 1st April – 30th November 2016. This handbook was developed at the Final Evaluation in La Paz, Bolivia in March 2017 by the taskforce of the above-mentioned project and representatives of two host organisations. It is based on the programmes and methods developed at the multiplier training in Vienna, Austria in February 2016, and the feedback received from the teachers, educators and EVS volunteers in the project. The handbook offers a selection of 40 non-formal learning methods to enhance academic achievement, intercultural learning, physical and emotional development of children and young people. The descriptions of the methods provide a "source", for which you will often find the name of an EVS volunteer or a host organisation — as these methods were used during the EVS and/or recommended by them. We would therefore like to thank the volunteers and host organisations not only for their invaluable feedback but also for helping us make this handbook a reality. We also extend grateful thanks to Grenzenlos-ICYE Austria and ICYE Bolivia for hosting the international multiplier training and final evaluation respectively. Our sincere thanks goes to the European Commission, which co-funded the project and enabled members of the ICYE Federation to build bridges between the two streams of education. We hope that the handbook can make learning an interactive and collaborative process so that education can contribute more fully in today's ever-changing world.

While I ate a ton of Korean food, I naturally wanted to explore how other cultural food tasted in Seoul. My family friend's mom and I ate at Votre Maison, a Michelin star French restaurant in Gangnam. I actually really enjoyed reading this quote:
Chef min-jae Park has some interesting parkour of his career – he owned his Korean restaurant for 5 years and it was working great, but he changed to French cuisine because he felt that French cuisine can show his philosophy of creation in kitchen with method of cooking. This passionate, and caring chef's cuisine is reflecting his personality as well.
This felt like a culinary experience since the plating looked more beautiful as our meal progressed. I even ate the smallest macaron I've ever seen in my life. This restaurant is a must-try for anyone craving French cuisine in Seoul!

Communications Infrastructure, Northern Territory
Northern Comms has contracts with companies who have or who are building communications networks such as Telstra, Amcom and the NBN. Although these are the majority of the projects worked on, Northern Comms also subcontracts to other companies working on behalf of Visionstream, Service stream and Thiess. Northern Comms specialises in optical fibre install, fault analysis and repair, network integrity and field auditing. In addition we can also assist with relocation of customers' existing phone lines in a domestic situation. To further round off our cable skill set we have accredited test and tag staff who can come out to an office or construction site.
Northern Comms also offers a wealth of experience in service location – this is an integral part of any planning and excavation. With so much dependence on our underground networks, damage caused can be potentially deadly and definitely costly. Please have a look around the site and contact us directly if you require any further information.

DENVER — Vera Ortegon is a Colombian-born microbiologist, a small-business owner, a mother, a former city councilwoman, and "die-hard Republican."
She's also an Elector, one of just 538 people who cast a vote in the Electoral College, the unelected body that ultimately determines who wins and who loses a U.S. presidential election.
We spoke with Ortegon at a rally here Wednesday, where she introduced Florida Senator Marco Rubio, a rising Republican star who is helping Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney woo Latino voters, the fastest-growing voter bloc in key battlegrounds like Nevada and Colorado.
"As a Latina, I can't tell you how proud I was of this country…when I saw a Latino, Marco Rubio, introduce the Republican nominee for president," Ortegon told the audience, before adding a quick jab at Michelle Obama "That was not the first time I was proud of my country!"
Ortegon's role at the rally, and her coveted status as one of Colorado's nine Electors, is evidence that the Latino voter demographic is far more complex and heterogeneous than pollsters and pundits would have you believe.
On paper, Oetegon looks a lot like a Democrat. A highly-educated Latina scientist, she spent most of her adult life researching DNA as a professor at the University of Colorado in Colorado Springs. She now lives in Pueblo, a swing county in suburban Denver that has been trending Democratic in recent years.
But for Ortegon, there is no choice but Romney this election.
"I am a die-hard Republican," she told Business Insider. "I've been a Republican my whole life — my whole family is Republican, my husband, my sons."
From our conversation, it is clear that while she is very proud of her Colombian background — and serious Sophia Vergara accent — it does not define her identity as a voter.
"I'm very conservative," she said. "For me, I'm a business owner, so that makes me a good Republican."
These sentiments have been echoed by other Latino voters I've met in Colorado. The state has always had a sizable Hispanic population, but is also removed from the border, so immigration reform — usually viewed as the trigger issue for Latino voters — hasn't taken on the same significance here as it has in other Western states.
In Ortegon's view, it's entitlements, not immigration, that are keeping the bulk of Colorado's Latino voters in the Democratic Party.
"Most Latinos are really Republicans — we're a very religious people, we're pro-life, very conservative," she said. "But people like free things. Not just Latinos — everyone."
And that's where Rubio comes in. Ortegon believes the Florida Senator is one Republican who can win the trust of Latino voters, and deliver the Republican message in a way that resonates.
"He is a beacon of light," Ortegon said. "He can talk to Latinos about these issues, about leadership. He understands the culture."

Trind Keratin Treatment for Nails Kit
Trind Keratin Nail Treatment is a FORMALDEHYDE FREE (3-FREE) formula based on the active ingredient Keratin. Keratin is a protein that provides strength and moisturizing effects to the nail.
Trind is the first nail care company in the world to introduce a nail care solution based on the protein Keratin. This treatment compliments the full Trind nail care product line assortment where we have the Trind Balsams for moisturizing cuticles and nails and our very popular and effective Trind Nail Repair as a solution for dry brittle nails.
With the Trind Keratin Nail Treatment kit we provide a chemical free solution for thin, brittle and chipped nails. It is a mild solution that treats the most sensitive nails that have been damaged by wearing artificial nails or from the use of medicines or other environmental influences.
Trind Keratin Nail Treatment is not as quick of a solution as the Trind Nail Repair. It takes approximately 4 weeks to realize the effect. However, for those of you that are sensitive to traditional nail strengtheners and fortifiers this is the product for you. It will repair your heavily damaged, brittle and thin nails perfectly.
The Trind Keratin Formula kit consists of two products:
Trind Nail Restorer
Trind Nail Restorer is a light semi transparent liquid and has to be applied on the nails daily. Let soak for two minutes and then rub-in the excess of product into the nail and surrounding skin.
Trind Nail Protector
In order to preserve the beneficial effects of Trind Keratin Nail Restorer, we created the Trind Keratin Nail Protector. This liquid product must also to be applied like a top coat. It keeps the "goodies" of the restorer within the nails and protects the nail against outside everyday influences from exposure to the environment. It also contains keratin and can be used as is, or as a base coat for colored nail polish.
For a minimum of four weeks you must remove daily the Restorer and Protector with the Trind acetone free nail polish remover and re-apply.
The Natural Hand and Nail Care segment is growing over the use of Artificial Nails. In the 80's the artificial nails market started to grow in a society where 'plastic' was fantastic.
After removing artificial nails, chances are your natural nails will be thinner, dry and weak. These damaged nails need to be restored and pampered. Trind provides a full assortment of Nail Care products to take good care of your nails. However, for those of you with extra sensitive nails there is a need of a more delicate system. Therefore, Trind developed a system based on Keratin: Trind Nail Restorer combined with Trind Protector for the seal & shield.
We know it's the perfect match!
Directions for use:
Apply both the Nail Restorer and Protector daily for 4 to 6 weeks directly to the nails. Before re-applying remove the former coat with (Trind) Acetone Free Nail polish Remover. After 4 to 6 weeks you can apply one coat weekly to keep the nails strong.

text: At the beginning of every semester members of the Hikone fire department come to JCMU to give a demonstration on fire safety. Students get to do some hands on practice with water filled fire extinguishers. In Japan fires can spread very quickly so it is important to be prepared and yell "Kaji da" (there's a fire) in a big voice so everyone around knows to look out. For more pictures of this event please see the JCMU Facebook page. If you are interested in joining us please see the JCMU homepage for course offerings.

Things like this really bother me, and I am not cultured nor educated enough to know any of this for certain.
A friend of mine has told me this story of a stock that he owns. They have announced that they intend to file a Chapter 11 restructuring bankruptcy. They intend to declare all stock has zero value, eliminate all current stock and reissue new stock to the bondholders, but not to the current owners of common stock. If I have this right, the people who own common stock will just be SOL and that all of this is... somehow... legal.
If all of this is true, then why would an individual hold any stock at all. If the corporation can do this, you would just be laying your cash out there and waiting for disaster.
On top of all that, we have a "major" news outlet writing stuff like this: 5 Star Stocks Begging to be Bought - never mind that half of the world expects Arcelor Mittal to declare bankruptcy any day now with part of its mills temporarily shuttered and the ones that are running being operated at well below break even capacity.
And somehow, we are all supposed to confidently go forth and stimulate the economy with our $13 a week that we ought to start seeing later this year. I'll give you a real stimulus, my Federal tax has already decreased $11 every two weeks, but I think this is due to the pay cuts that have been taken. Oh yeah, and my state tax has increased $12 every two weeks, not real sure about that one... So, I am still net -$1.

"The relationship between TPS Group and our clients is a partnership. Each side is working together towards the same goal, which is to effectively manage a retirement plan based on its desired purpose. For different clients that may be maximizing deductible contributions, adjusting or enhancing existing plan structures as a competitive advantage to attract and retain employees, reducing costs and/or volatility, or working towards funding the plan for termination."
Matthew Sicilia is a consulting actuary who joined TPS Group in 2010. Prior to joining TPS Group, he had over 10 years of experience in the pension field. He became an Enrolled Actuary in 2007, and is a Member of the American Academy of Actuaries. He has worked on plans ranging from 1 participant to over 10,000 participants. He consults on plan designs of both qualified and non-qualified plans. He also has significant testing experience, including but not limited to Internal Revenue Code (IRC) 416 top heavy testing, IRC 414(s) compensation testing, IRC 410(b) coverage testing, and IRC 401(a)(4) non-discrimination testing.
"I value my working relationships with my clients. I attempt to treat each one as my most important client. Setting realistic expectations and then exceeding those expectations is my goal."
Sicilia anticipates continued growth in the number of small market defined benefit plans. With the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (PPA) approving cash balance plan designs, Sicilia expects a significant increase in these plans in the near future.
"Employers like cash balance plans because the contributions are generally less volatile than under more traditional annuity plans. Employees like cash balance plans because they are easier to understand (they have the look and feel of a 401(k) plan, but without the investment risk)."
Sicilia earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a Concentration in Applied Actuarial Mathematics from Bryant University in Smithfield, Rhode Island.

You can't spell and your grammar is terrible
I know the feeling… And this may not be a diagnosed infliction, but I'm sure I've got typing dyslexia. My brain knows what it wants to type but the signals get muddled up on the way to my fingers so they don't always hit the right keys.
When I was at school I remember being told (when I was about 7 or 8 at the time), that I'd never be good at English. Sadly, in the late 60s and early 70s getting the technicalities right was more important than the content.
The things was, although I struggled with spelling and grammar, I excelled at story telling, Sadly no one was interested in that.
Being told I couldn't write as a child didn't hold me back because throughout my television career I have written hundreds of TV programmes and still get the odd check when a programme I wrote many years ago is shown in some far flung country.
So what do you do to not upset the Grammer and SPelling police, because mistakes do happen 😉
Well the lovely Sarah Sarke, who writes awesome blogs, makes some suggestions of proofreading apps that can support you.
But she left out a couple of methods that I use:
- getting YouTube to write my content
- using the Note App on my iPhone
You can read how I use YouTube to write my content in one of my other blogs, What is the easiest way to create content for your blog
If you have a conversational style
this is the best way to create content
How to use the Notes App to write your blogs
This is what to do:
- Like all blogs / vlogs plan out your content using bullet points
- Open the Notes App
- On the keyboard press the microphone icon
- Speak your blog slowly and clearly
- Occasionally stop "recording" and check
- When you have finished speaking your blog, email the note to yourself
- Copy and paste the text from your email into your post
- Check, format, tidy up and add images, links, videos as require
- Post your blog
It's that easy.
p.s. I just used one of the proof reading apps that Sarah suggested and it said "No mistakes found"… Interesting, because I definitely left some in!

How to Create a Healthy Vegetarian Diet
A healthy vegetarian diet doesn't just mean boring salads and carrot sticks - it means your diet will include a wide range of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and legumes in nutritious (and great-tasting) meals. Plus, going vegetarian has stacks of added health benefits.
Whether you're just opting for 'meat-free Mondays' or are a more committed vegetarian who excludes animal products altogether from your diet, you still need to follow healthy-eating principles to ensure you're getting all the nutrition you need.
12WBT's experts have done all the research for you to put together this great guide to being a healthy vegetarian.
Definitions of Vegetarian
People who follow a vegetarian diet have chosen to either limit or completely exclude red meat, fish, seafood and poultry from the foods they eat.
While lean meat is an excellent source or protein and energy, eating a non-vegetarian diet that includes a lot of animal fats, such as those found in fatty red meat, can lead to increased risk of heart disease.
With careful planning, a vegetarian can get all the protein, vitamins and minerals necessary for optimum health and nutrition in their meat-free diet.
There are many health benefits of a vegetarian diet. For starters, going vegetarian automatically increases your intake of great fruits and vegetables and is rich in plant-based foods such as grains, legumes, nuts and seeds.
What types of vegetarian diets are there?
There are many different types of vegetarian diet, from some that exclude animal products altogether to those that include a small amount of meat or fish on occasion.
Semi-vegetarian or 'flexitarian' diet: includes red meat, poultry and fish less than once a week or on a special occasion.
Pesco-vegetarian or 'pescotarian' diet: includes fish and seafood, but no red meat or poultry.
Lacto-ovo-vegetarian diet: includes dairy foods and eggs, but no red meat, poultry or seafood. This is the most common type of vegetarian diet.
Lacto-vegetarian diet: includes dairy foods but no eggs, red meat, poultry or seafood.
Ovo-vegetarian diet: includes eggs, but no dairy foods, red meat, poultry or seafood.
Vegan diet: excludes all animal products including red meat, poultry, seafood, eggs and dairy foods. In addition, most vegans won't use honey or other animal products such as gelatine.
Why Follow a Vegetarian Diet?
The reasons for becoming a vegetarian vary from person to person. Some traditional diets, such as an Asian and Mediterranean diet, are more plant-based than the modern Western diet and have limited meat consumption.
Some people choose a vegetarian diet because they dislike eating a large amount of meat or dairy products, while others choose a vegetarian diet for either religious, cultural, ethical or environmental reasons.
Still others choose a more plant-based diet for the added health benefits of including more fruit and vegetables and lowering meat consumption. Some people are incidentally vegetarian because they never think of eating meat as part of their diet.
A recent report from the Medical Journal of Australia said that a well-planned vegetarian diet "may reduce the risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, hypertension and obesity".
It went on to say that "vegetarian diets are generally lower in saturated fat and cholesterol and higher in dietary fibre, antioxidants and phytochemicals than non-vegetarian diets".
With these amazing health benefits as the rewards of a vegetarian diet, it's easy to see why some people go meat-free for their health and well-being.
Can't I Just cut out Meat?
No! You need to think about how to compensate for it in your diet.
Lean meat is an excellent source of protein and a rich source of minerals, so by removing it you need to ensure that both are adequately replaced.
"A diet of hot chips with tomato sauce could be classified as vegetarian, but it's certainly not balanced and not meeting all our essential dietary requirements," says 12WBT dietitian Lisa Donaldson.
Vegetarians need to raise their intake of iron, zinc, calcium, vitamin D, vitamin B12 and long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids.
To find out what food groups form the basis of a healthy diet, as recommended by the Australian Dietary Guidelines, read our article on healthy foods.**
The Keys to Being a Healthy Vegetarian
Protein helps us feel fuller for longer and is the building block for muscle replenishment and recovery.
It's also important for the normal functioning of muscles, transmitting nerve impulses and boosting immunity.
Good sources of protein can be found in low-fat dairy, chickpeas, lentils, tofu, eggs, nuts and seeds, tempeh and even in carbohydrate-rich foods like quinoa and oats.
Iron and Zinc
Iron and zinc intake requires conscious management in a vegetarian diet.
That's because iron found in plant foods is not as "bioavailable" to the body as haem iron found in red meat.
This means iron from plant sources is harder to absorb and needs to be combined with vitamin C to be taken in properly.
Food sources of iron for vegetarians and vegans include whole grains, legumes, tofu, green leafy vegetables, dried fruits and cereals fortified with iron.
Good sources of vitamin C-rich foods to add to your diet include citrus fruits, tomato and capsicum.
An example of combining iron and vitamin C in a vegetarian meal would be a lentil salad dressed with a squeeze of orange juice.
Vegetarian sources of zinc include nuts, tofu, miso, legumes, wheat germ and wholegrain foods.
Pumpkin seeds provide one of the most concentrated sources of zinc, so sprinkle them liberally on that salad!
Vitamin D
Good vegetarian sources of vitamin D include eggs, soy milk fortified with vitamin D, and oily fish such as salmon, tuna and sardines.
Omega-3s are essential fatty acids that the body can't make, with benefits that include lowering the risk of heart disease and easing arthritis, among many others.
Pescotarians can get their omega-3s by eating two to three serves of oily fish every week and supplementing with fish oil capsules.
Vegetarians can eat eggs for omega-3s, while plant-based sources include canola- and soybean-based fats and oils, nuts (particularly walnuts), linseeds (flaxseeds) and chia seeds.
Some omega-3 supplements are now derived from algae and are suitable for use by vegetarians and vegans.
Calcium, found primarily in dairy products, is needed in every diet for strong bones and teeth.
"Vegans need to ensure they're replacing calcium and B12," says 12WBT dietitian Lisa Donaldson.
Plant-based calcium is found in legumes, almonds, leafy greens, tahini, tofu and calcium-fortified cereals and fruit juices. But plant-based calcium consumption needs to be generous, as it's hard for the body to absorb.
Milk alternatives, such as calcium-fortified soy milk, can help.
"Many soy, almond or rice milk products will have added calcium phosphate to ensure that there is at least 300mg of calcium per cup," says Lisa.
Vitamin B12
B12 helps our body manufacture red blood cells. It also helps keep our brain and nerves healthy.
Both eggs and dairy provide valuable sources of B12 for vegetarians.
Vegans must include B12-fortified vegan products in their diets, and take a specific B12 supplement each day to ensure adequate intake, advises Lisa.
Are you Pregnant or Breastfeeding?
Following a well-planned vegetarian diet while pregnant is entirely safe, but you need to be extra careful to ensure you're meeting all the nutritional needs for you and your growing baby.
This means eating enough protein, iron, zinc, calcium and vitamin B12, as well as vitamins and minerals essential to pregnancy including folate and iodine.
Pregnant or breastfeeding women should aim to include sources of protein at each meal such as nuts, seeds, soy products and dried beans and peas.
During pregnancy you also need a lot more iron than normal, so an iron supplement is highly recommended.
"It may be worthwhile chatting to your doctor and even getting a blood test to make sure everything is on track," Lisa says.
Vegan women need to particularly watch their levels of vitamin B12 during pregnancy and breastfeeding as it's needed for the baby's blood cell growth, brain development and nerve function.
Vegan mothers will need to eat B12-fortified foods or take B12 supplements, and talk to a doctor or dietitian.
Children and Babies
A healthy lifestyle is a great choice for all the family. If you're vegetarian or vegan and are considering including your family in your diet, that's great news.
While babies and very young children should not be on a strict vegetarian diet, the added health benefits of eating more plant-based foods, a variety of fruits and vegetables plus whole grains will mean your children grow up strong and healthy.
All the same, principles of following a vegetarian diet apply for children, but remember that kids have higher energy needs than adults.
Energy-rich foods include cereals, pasta, rice, bread, dairy products and fruit.
Ensure vegetarian kids are meeting their nutritional needs. It's important that growing children get enough protein in their diet.
Good sources of protein are dairy products, eggs, grains, legumes, beans, pulses and soy foods such as tempeh and tofu.
How can 12WBT Help With a Vegetarian Diet?

It has taken what seems to have been hundreds of hours down at the riverside, but eventually I have succeeded in achieving my second objective, an image of the Kingfisher with its catch! I was onsite again at first light on Saturday morning, I set up at my "new location" on the bend but after two hours it was a fruitless exercise with only one fly past.
I reluctantly decided to re-locate back to the original area where I'd had some relative success. After my re-position the bird showed after a wait of 1 minute and sixteen seconds, I know the exact time because "saddo" here set his stopwatch to see how long the wait would be? What made matters even more rewarding was it landed on one of the perches that I'd erected during an earlier visit.
Initially the Kingfisher just sat there on my perch watching the world go by, but then it was flushed as a Sparrowhawk sped by in pursuit of one of the Green Sandpipers (there's three of them here now). The Sandpiper displayed far too much agility as it evaded the pursuing Sparrowhawk with ease.
I took the opportunity when the Sparrowhawk flew through to move the Landrover slightly, I wanted to get into a position where I was looking along the Kingfisher perch rather than across it. It wasn't long before the Kingfisher was spotted again just down the river, it was perched up on a bank side bush and from here it made a successful dive into the water and emerged with a catch. Then rather than fly back to bush where it had come from it opted to land on my perch, yeeeessssss!!!
Needless to say my camera went into overdrive as I rattled off a sequence of 40 images whilst the Kingfisher bashed the poor little fish (a Minnow I think?) against the branch. But because of the low light my shutter speeds of 1/400th were too low to capture the action shots. Sadly the majority of these images had too much motion blur and are not usable, example below.
Only two more objectives to go before this "mini project" will come to a conclusion, a flight shot and a pair of Kingfishers together, mmmmm there could still be a long while to go?
Thanks for stopping by,
catch up soon.........

The DM10s are introduced to replace the now discontinued ADM9RS. These have been comprehensively discussed in the Facebook Groups and on the AVI Forum for those who would like to know more.
DM10s have the same appearance and facilities as ADM9RS, but use new, and more expensive, specially designed drive units and redesigned electronics with 8th order crossover filter. These give a quite a dramatic improvement in smoothness and clarity as well as greater precision to the stereo image.
AVI started a revolution eight years ago, it has been a tremendous success for us. Our first efforts benefited primarily from being active and having less intrusive crossovers and better driver control. Now Sinar Baja who design and build our drive units have designed much better ones regardless of cost and to take advantage of the superior performance possible from active speakers.

Here is proof that there's always more horrifying Frankenfood left to be invented and more stomachs left to destroy with fast food: the Double Down hot dog. It's KFC's take on a hot dog for the Philippines market, only instead of using a regular bun, the Colonel is whipping out a bun made with fried chicken. It looks fairly ridiculous.
The meat tube is covered with a mayo, cheese and ketchup concoction and then cradled in an Original Recipe fried-chicken fillet that's been vaguely shaped to resemble a hot dog bun. Sometimes this devil's combination works and looks like something you might even consider putting in your mouth…
But most of the time it looks more like leftover takeaway discarded on the street from the night before than anything else:
Here's a picture from @kixnakamura:
And from @TheDaddest:
The dog is only available at 27 locations across the Philippines for now and limited to just 50 per store. But the question is: would you eat it?

Everyone, at some point in their life, experiences skin problems. Maybe you have very sensitive skin and tend to break out easily, are worried about wrinkles, or maybe you have acne that just doesn't seem to go away. Have you tried everything there is on the market just to end up disappointed? Luckily for you, I have found the most amazing remedy for acne prone and sensitive skin!
When it comes to coconut oil, everyone knows that it is a healthy alternative that is commonly used in the kitchen. However, what most people don't know is that coconut oil is also a versatile and natural beauty product! Using coconut oil is an all-natural way to eliminate many skin problems, including acne and helping to prevent the signs of aging. Now, when you think about skincare, I'm sure the last thing that comes to your mind is rubbing edible plant grease all over your face. Nevertheless, countless studies have demonstrated that coconut oil's antibacterial and antifungal properties make it an excellent moisturizer for the skin.
What Causes Acne?
Even though everyone has experienced acne, not everyone knows the root causes of it. One of the causes of acne is the raging hormonal changes that teenagers undergo. However, what most people don't know is that acne is actually caused by an infection in the openings of sebum glands, which are the glands on the skin that secrete various oils to keep it moist and prevent it from drying up and cracking. At some point these glands can become clogged by bacteria, and the resulting obstruction in sebum secretion is followed by inflammation, redness, swelling and pain.
A lot of people resort to common, over-the-counter acne treatments. This is because they don't know that these treatments are packed with harmful ingredients that strip skin of its natural moisture. I'm sure that at some point you've noticed that your skin is horribly dry, I know I have! I would apply acne cream and my skin would shrink up right underneath it. Before I discovered coconut oil, my skin was crying for moisture!
Why is Coconut Oil a Natural Acne Treatment?
Before you reach for that vat of coconut oil to rub all over your face, let's take a look at exactly what coconut oil is.
Coconuts are made up of milk, meat, juice, and oil. All of these properties can make an entire coconut a complete meal on its own. You won't be able to find the oil simply by cracking it open though, coconut oil is actually a refined product. Once coconuts are harvested from the coconut palm tree, the oil is extracted from the meat. The only true, unrefined coconut oil you can find would be the oil that is still in the meat of the coconut.
Coconut oil is largely made up of saturated fats with a high amount of medium chain fatty acids. To be more precise, a good percentage of the fatty acids found in coconut oil are lauric and capric acids. These acids are actually great at protecting your skin from infections by replacing and protecting the acidic layer on the skin. Coconut oil also contains vitamin E, which ensures proper functioning of the sebum glands and clears blockages. This means that it treats the actual root cause of acne, and not just the problems that lead to it. Lastly, coconut oil is full of anti-inflammatory properties which reduce inflammation from already present acne.
Tea Tree Oil and Lavender Oil
If you are looking to clear up acne fast, try combining coconut oil with other oils such as tea tree or lavender. Tea tree oil contains many beneficial properties that can help you get rid of that acne fast. Since tea tree oil contains terpinen-4-ol, which is responsible for its antimicrobial properties, it destroys the skin-dwelling bacteria that cause acne. It also acts as a preventative measure due to its antifungal nature. Tea tree oil is an antiseptic that removes damaged skin cells and helps to balance out oil production. Due to all of these cleaning properties, tea tree oil tends to be more aggressive than other natural oils.
While tea tree oil is very strong, lavender is quite mild and is well suited for sensitive skin. The main benefits of lavender oil to treat acne derive from its ability to calm nerves and soothe damaged skin. In 2003, the Journal of Clinical Oncology published medical research that verified the soothing effects of lavender oil. Because acne can be caused by stress, reducing tension can help moderate your breakouts. Lavender oil can even help with the skin damage resulting from acne and accelerate the healing of scars.
Still wondering if coconut oil is good for you? Try this recipe as part of your everyday beauty routine and find out for yourself!
Coconut Oil Acne and Blemish Remedy
- 1 cup of Coconut Oil
- 5-6 drops of essential oil (optional but recommended)
- On the lowest heat setting, melt your coconut oil in a saucepan. This is a very quick process, so don't go anywhere!
- As soon as your coconut oil is melted, take it off the stove. Add 5 or 6 drops of oil, I recommend tea tree or lavender oil.
- Mix well and pour the liquid into a mason jar. Let it cool!
Once it is ready to use, rub some on your face and wash off with warm water. For this natural skin treatment to work, make sure to use it twice a day, in the morning and in the evening. You can even use coconut oil for face washing! It will get rid of dead skin cells and helps to promote natural moisture levels without excess oil production. Store your coconut oil treatment in a cool, dry place.
Coconut Oil Anti-Wrinkle Moisturizer
The skin around the eyes is especially fragile compared to the rest of your face. It's important to pay attention to what is being used on the eyes and to make sure that it is being applied very gently to avoid damage. This homemade cream will do the job in a healthy way:
- 3 capsules of Vitamin E
- 1 tbsp. Coconut Oil (Chill so that it isn't completely liquid)
*Follow ratios to make more cream, depending on need.
Pop the capsules with a knife, and squeeze them into a container with your coconut oil. Stir and allow to sit overnight, away from any heat source.
What are your favorite home remedies for beautiful skin?

previously on the record as having a big girl crush on Atkinson and loving her non-mystery fiction, and being far more ambivalent (though that might be putting it nicely) about her forays into whodunit fiction. Because I first read this book before I started writing reviews here, I don't have any in-depth analysis or record of my thoughts on the book then, but I do remember that I was wildly underwhelmed by it and might even go so far as to say I did not like it very much at all. So why read it again if I found it so dull the first time round? Mostly because although I've been living under a literary rock for the past 16 months, I still keep up-to-date with some of the book world's news and I've been reading a lot of buzz about my girl Kate's latest book, Life After Life. I didn't have a copy of that on hand, but I was able to get access to this and decided to test the waters to see if it was as disappointing as I remembered. (more…)Given that the site is newly raised from the dead, it somehow seems fitting that my first review is of Case Histories by Kate Atkinson. Not only is the book about a series of decades-old cold cases, it's also a book I read many moons ago, well before this site ever existed and was one I had long left for dead. As a re-read rearing its zombie head, I probably couldn't have picked a better book for a reboot if I had been trying. Case Histories is the first in Atkinson's Jackson Brodie series, which, to date, consists of four books. I am

When Nicola over at Vintage Reads pointed out earlier this year that this was the 200th anniversary of Sense & Sensibility, that pretty much sealed the deal regarding which Austen I'd be cozying up to in 2011! My desire to do so was heightened after popping the Oscar award-winning film featuring Emma Thompson into the DVD player a few months back. In retrospect I think that perhaps it wasn't the best idea to follow up the film with the original source material, simply because Emma Thompson's adaptation is just SO good, and I couldn't help but compare and contrast the two and I have to say, Austen's version didn't always come out on top. [Also, everything from here on out presupposes that you have more than a passing familiarity with the plot of S&S. Spoilers and in depth discussion ahoy!] (more…)I don't have very many reading rules, but one rule that I have set for myself and that I have managed to observe for the past 3 – 4 years (read: ever since I made it up), is that I only ever read one Jane Austen book a year. Austen is one of my favorite authors, so it would be really easy for me to just read and review her over and over again, but that might get tiring for you guys, so instead, as a means of maintaining balance, I instead limit myself to one book by her each year. Admittedly, this rule also partially stems from my deep-seated fear of running out of Jane Austen novels, and is my attempt to ration them. The thought of living in a world where I have no new Jane Austen to discover chills me to the marrow of my bones. I do realize that since Jane Austen only published six full-length novels that this reading plan would only preserve me from my greatest fear for six years, BUT you'll note that my rule says nothing about reading a new Jane Austen novel each year, so if I wanted to read P&P for the next decade, that's totally kosher. As it is, since establishing my One Austen Per Annum rule, I have actually only revisited works of hers that I've already read. I still have Mansfield Park and Persuasion on the TBR pile, and even though I always claim that this will be the year that I finally try one of them, it never seems to work out that way.

Simona, I know this includes you, but I think it is a testament to my commitment to our friendship that I overlook this HUGE flaw on your part… At least you have finally read Harry Potter (and loved it! Also critical!) 😉 ). (more…)Ok, so I understand that whole "different strokes for different folks" idea – books that I love will not necessarily be universally loved by everyone else, but I have to say, when it comes to Jasper Fforde, if you love reading and you love books, then I kind of can't compute how you wouldn't enjoy his Thursday Next books. And I know that you people exist out there, and have read things where people said that they just couldn't get into The Eyre Affair, and while I of course respect that whole DSFDF principle I outlined above, I just don't understand how you can NOT like these books. And especially the people who say that they didn't really find them funny, because whenever I read a Jasper Fforde novel, I am equal parts enamoured by him and hella envious because he is SO clever and witty and well-read that I can hardly stand it! And I have seen him two or three times in person at book signings and I can tell you that he is exactly the same way in person (except add charming to the mix) and it is maddening! I don't know – I guess it is like how there are some people out there who don't think Arrested Development is the funniest show ever created, when that is not even a matter of opinion but purely fact (

New HP PartnerOne MDF and service opportunities appeal to VARs
The transition from "elite" to "specialist" designations in Hewlett-Packard's PartnerOne program is grabbing headlines, but partners are pumped about support in the form of MDFs and service opportunities.
While the HP PartnerOne program will incorporate new specialist designations instead of "Elite partners" starting Nov. 1, the biggest changes for some partners will involve marketing development funds (MDFs) and new business opportunities.
Hewlett-Packard Co. is joining other vendors preaching specialization and changing partner nomenclature every few years based on customer feedback.
HP recently announced that PartnerOne, which comprises 25,000 partners, will be divided by individual specialty in the new plan, including client virtualization, managed print, managed print advanced, document solution, app systems and advanced and professional networking designations. VARs say that this won't affect their day-to-day operations.
Al Chien, vice president of sales and marketing for Dasher Technologies Inc., a data center, imaging and printing and personal systems company, said that though Dasher was "Elite" under the old terminology and now "specialists," it will be business as usual.
On the other hand, partners are very much onboard with more money being funneled into MDFs. The Marketing Depot, for example, will offer partners more marketing and lead generation tools and services to drive more business. Chien said that new offerings such as the Marketing Depot means HP is starting to take notice of successful partners.
"[These changes] mean HP is making bigger bets with the partners who land big deals," Chien said. "They're being much more prescriptive with the way they deal with MDFs. They've opened more money for deals with the IPG [imaging and printing group] and managed print services."
HP's focus on the IPG group isn't a huge part of his own business, but Chien sees this as a sign that HP wants to engage partners with new business opportunities.
"For a partner, it's tough finding new business, and it seems like HP is supportive and wants to help us find net-new opportunities," he said.
'Elite' is out, specialists are in
Though John Barker, president of Versatile Communications, doesn't think these new designations will affect his business all that much, the changes to HP technical services offerings caught his eye. The incentives included with the new ServiceOne specialization allows a company such as Versatile to offer its own services as well as HP-branded services.
"HP has clearly made it more lucrative to offer these services and is leveraging partners to boost sales," Barker said.
For example, as part of the IPG, document solutions specialists can now offer managed print services with 7% up-front discounts, and back-end rebates will become front-end rebates for these specialized partners.
According to Michael Nordstrom, director of Americas channel marketing in HP's solutions partner organization (SPO), the company decided on the new nomenclature for partners because of customer feedback. "Customers want partner business expertise to be the differentiator," Nordstrom said.

Direct dopaminergic stimulation, but probably not the other vulnerabilities, may contribute to the necessary concavity of addicts' delay discounting curves, as may factors that the senior author analyzes elsewhere. Whatever their origins, these curves can themselves account for temporary preference, sudden craving, and the "automatic" habits discussed here.

Pikachu Dragon
I'm back! And yes, with more awesome anime and dragon tuts, so stay tuned! I've been practicing poses for various dragons and anime bodies. So far, improvement has been taking place. In this new tutorial, I will help improve your skills on 'how to draw dragon Pikachu', step by step. This was a lot of fun to work on, especially playing with the colors and shadows.

Be sure to let me know how you did or if you want to see more of these types of tutorials. Don't forget, Halloween is coming up which means more zombie artwork! Anyways, have fun, and don't forget to love, comment and favorite this lesson!....
Step 1
Begin by making a circle for the head, then draw out the body shape. Make the tail line with an electric bolt pattern at the end.
Step 2
Begin drawing out the structure of the face or snout which is also the mouth too. The mouth lining should have some points. Draw the two horns like so, and give this Pikachu dragon some fluff on his head for added cuteness.
Step 3
Now we will draw in the face. Start with the eyes, then draw the round marks on the cheeks. Line the tips of the horns, then draw in the tongue, and nostrils.
Step 4
Draw the back of the neck shape, then the front which turns into the chest. Draw the start of the front legs, and sketch in some detailing on the belly and chest.
Step 5
Draw the lining to form the back, then draw in the hind leg. Draw the toes, and finish off the dragon by drawing the thick electrifying tail.
Step 6
For your last drawing step all you have to do is draw in the bat style wings, then draw the talons which should have a sharp look. Add the detailing to the wings, then sketch in some tuft of hair on the back part of the neck. Erase the mistakes and guidelines.
Step 7
Here is what your drawing of a Pikachu dragon looks like when you are finished. Now all you have to do is color him in.

Minnesota recently enacted a law related to safe sharps management, including the management of lancets.
This law requires that lancet manufacturers, such as LifeScan, post on their Web sites a plan that describes how the manufacturer supports the safe collection and proper disposal of sharps, including lancets.
LifeScan supports educating patients on the proper disposal of sharps to ensure the safety of our patients and the public at large. We do so by including information related to the proper disposal of lancets in our owner's manuals, on our corporate Web site, and in the lancing section of our consumer Web site, OneTouch.com. Presently, LifeScan does not have any initiatives related to the collection of sharps, but if appropriate opportunities to support such activities present themselves, we will consider working with retailers, governments and other groups with an interest in protecting public health and safety to advance practices in this area.
For more information on safe sharps management, please review the owner's manual for your OneTouch® Lancing Products or visit: http://www.onetouch.com/ownersbooklets.

"It has HOW MANY Calories?"

It has HOW MANY calories!?
How menu labeling affects consumers' food choices
By Molly Rogers, Community Health Program Coordinator for Turn a New Leaf
Americans are dining out more than ever. According to a study published in the American Journal of Public Health, Americans eat as many as one third of their meals in restaurants.
Typically, restaurant foods are higher in fat, sugar, sodium and total calories than meals prepared at home; to make it worse, it can be troublesome to figure out the total number of calories in an entrée.
One study found that 9 out of 10 people underestimated the number of calories of less healthy items by an average of more than 600 calories! Even trained dieticians underestimated the total calorie counts by an average of 200 to 600 calories.
According to a poll by the National Restaurant Association, 76 percent of adults claimed they are trying to eat healthier when they go out to eat. If a menu item's nutrition facts aren't labeled, this can be a daunting task.
But thankfully, due to a push in consumer demand, more and more restaurants are providing nutrition information on their entrées.
But including menu labeling in restaurants raises the question: Does labeling nutrition facts on restaurant items change consumer ordering preferences? Research suggests that it does.
According to one study, almost half (48 percent) of American adults say reading the nutrition information on food labels made them change their purchasing habits. And 87 percent of Americans polled said they support requiring restaurants to list nutrition information.
But can menu labeling practices have a positive community health impact? Research suggests that it can.
In a 2007 survey of New York City restaurants and fast food chains, people who saw the calorie information on their meals consumed on average 99 fewer calories than those who did not see the calorie information. This research suggested that "an average per meal reduction of 125 calories in 20 percent of restaurant patrons could be sufficient to begin a reversal of the obesity epidemic."
Even if seeing the nutrition information on a menu item does not affect a consumers ordering patterns, at least the consumer is informed.
Many restaurants have begun voluntarily offering nutrition information on their menu items in recent years. In Cheshire County the "Turn a New Leaf" program works with area restaurants on their labeling practices. The program is designed to promote and easily indicate the better restaurant choice when dining out. By use of a simple icon, a consumer can be confident knowing they have picked the smarter choice.
We know it will take a multi-faceted approach to reverse the obesity epidemic. But menu labeling in restaurants is a valuable tool in this process.
So, next time you go out to eat, see if your favorite restaurant lists their nutrition information. Then ask yourself, does this affect my choice? Cheers to happy and informed eating!
If you know of a restaurant interested in implementing menu labeling, contact Healthy Monadnock, today.
About Molly Rogers: I am a community health program coordinator with the Turn a New Leaf Program. Turn a New Leaf is a community based initiative that helps make the smarter choice the easier choice. The program involves collaboration with myself, Keene State Dietetic Interns, and local food venue owners/managers with the goal of promoting and informing customers of the healthier choices available on the restauranteurs menu. I am a recent graduate of Keene State College with my B.S. in Health Science with a Community Health/Health Promotion concentration. I enjoy hiking, taking walks with my puppy, and spending time with family/loved ones.
