Alcohol Abuse in the United States
Perhaps one of the weakest areas of human nature and one of the most elusive slippery slopes that comes up often in the United States is that of alcohol consumption. Truthfully, most Americans have a pretty difficult time of carefully monitoring their alcohol consumption. Essentially, human beings struggle with being able to tell when they're beginning to reach their limit, or even when they've consumed too much alcohol.
This is most likely the backbone of the alcohol abuse problem in the United States. Alcohol abuse in the United States kills more Americans every year than all forms and types of drug abuse and addiction combined. Whether it is alcohol impaired driving accidents, illnesses or organ failures brought on by alcohol abuse, alcohol-caused violence, alcohol-caused accidents, or simple alcohol overdoses, alcohol abuse accounts for roughly sixty to ninety thousand deaths every single year in the United States alone. In fact, alcohol abuse is the third leading cause of preventable death in the United States, behind only smoking and obesity.
To shed some light on alcohol abuse in the United States, some statistics have been included below:
• In the year 2013, twenty-five percent of people of the age of 18 or older reported that they engaged in binge drinking in the past month, whereas seven percent reported that they engaged in heavy drinking in the past week.
• more than sixteen million adults ages 18 and older, (7.0 percent of this age group), had a legitimate alcohol addiction in the year 2013. This includes about 10.8 million men, (9.4 percent of men in this age group), and roughly 5.8 million women, (4.7 percent of women in this age group).
• Nearly a whopping 88,0009 people, (approximately 62,000 men and 26,000 women), die from alcohol-related causes annually, sadly and unfortunately making it the third leading preventable cause of death in the United States.
• In the year 2013, alcohol-impaired driving fatalities accounted for 10,076 deaths, (30.8 percent of overall driving fatalities).
• In the year 2006, alcohol misuse problems cost the United States $223.5 billion.
• According to the reputed 2013 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, (NSDUH), exactly 35.1 percent of 15-year-olds report that they have had at least 1 drink in their lives. About 8.7 million people ages 12–20, (22.7 percent of this age group), reported drinking alcohol in the past month alone, (23 percent of males and 22.5 percent of females).
Smart Phones: A Potential Key to Recovery
One of the greatest innovations in the last several years in the addiction and recovery field has been that of addiction help hotlines. These hotlines effectively assist individuals in finding and getting into addition rehabilitation programs, and they essentially lay the groundwork for the intake process of any individual addict who wants to get clean from drug and alcohol addiction alike.
Now, addiction help hotlines have taken their non-profit and free services to the next level with smartphone apps. A few free apps now exist in various app forms for different smart phone platforms that create live chat options with addiction specialists and referral counselors at addiction help hotlines. These apps also help an individual monitor his or her alcohol consumption over the course of an evening, and can provide alerts and recommendations. Finally, these apps also contain treatment center locator services that can assist a drinker in finding the nearest recovery organization.
Finding rehabilitation and help in general for alcohol abuse and addiction has never been easier. If one is not ready to go to rehab yet but still recognizes that he or she has a drinking problem and just wants to talk to someone about it, or if line is ready from rehab but doesn't know what to do next, then an addiction help hotline is definitely a resource to consider looking into.

The internationally acclaimed novelist Andre Malraux was a daredevil, an eccentric art historian and for 25 years a close companion to Charles de Gaulle, for whom he played the role of court intellectual and occasional buffoon. As de Gaulle's culture minister, he palled around with Jacqueline Kennedy, and organized a public relations coup in sending the Mona Lisa to the United States.
He was also a world-class mythomaniac.
"He had a formidable capacity for mixing up the real, whatever that is, the desirable, the probable, the possible and the imaginary," said Olivier Todd, author of "Andre Malraux," a revealing new biography that chronicles not only the minor lies, the name-dropping, the self-aggrandizement, but also the more troubling holes in Malraux's story, notably his dubious Resistance activities, which won him apparently undeserved glory and medals.
The Malraux legend, which has been eroded over the years through books and other testimony, including the 1973 biography by Jean Lacouture, is here dealt what might be the final blow. (Published by Gallimard, Todd's book will later be published in English.)
Citing philosopher Raymond Aron's quip about Malraux, "One-third genial, one-third false, one-third incomprehensible," Todd goes on to lay out the different facets of the writer who comes across as a genius, indeed, with the truth as with the lies. Malraux spun sublime writing from a cyclical life of action and depression and could be a spellbinding speaker. He was, after all, a great man, but perhaps not in the ways he wished.
The legendary Malraux, whose remains were transferred with the usual pomp to the Pantheon in 1996, was active with the Kuomitang and met many Chinese revolutionaries, leading to his most famous novel, "La Condition Humaine" (Man's Fate). He talked metaphysics with Stalin. He met T.E. Lawrence. He was a Spanish Civil War hero "flying" missions against the Franco forces. He was a Resistance hero for large portions of the war, running a large territory. Later, as culture minister, he went on secret political missions for the government and had deeply philosophical exchanges with Mao, Nehru and others.
Wait a minute! As Malraux was often heard to say, "Soyons serieux" — let's be serious.
The real Malraux was, first of all, a very talented writer. As a man, he was an adventurer, often a courageous, even brash one. He began in the antiquarian book trade and married a rich young woman. Then, when the money ran out, he set off with his wife, Clara, to steal statues from a Cambodian temple, for which he was arrested.
He did, courageously, return to Indochina and publish an anti-colonialist newspaper, which didn't endear him to the French authorities.
For a long time, he was a fellow traveler, and defended the Stalin trials.
He did lead a small pro-Republican air force in Spain, but, as so often is the case, the events were less spectacular than he later remembered them. His swaggering was such that there were rumors he had his uniform made by the Lanvin couture house.
His Resistance activities, by Todd's telling, were largely bogus. He spent most of the war living fairly comfortably with his mistress in the south of France, and was insensitive to the dangers run by his Jewish wife and their daughter.
Only in 1944, long after his two half-brothers had begun genuine, and eventually fatal, anti-German activities, did he suddenly spring into action, Todd says. He named himself the commander of a region, strutted around, always dapper, in a uniform and thus, inevitably, managed to get himself arrested. Later, he returned to "combat" with the Alsace-Lorraine group, but again, Todd says, seriously inflated his activities. Afterward, Todd says, he seems to have helped himself to considerable Resistance funds.
Significantly, Todd was able to see his military records, which showed that he had filled in some of them himself, placing himself in action earlier than was true and taking credit for various deeds he probably didn't perform.
He pretended to school degrees he didn't have, and languages he didn't speak. And all the long, philosophical conversations with Stalin (whom he never met), or Mao (whom he did meet, much later, formally) took place in his mind and then in his fascinating memoirs, which he titled, rather subtly, "Antimemoires."
"I didn't blame Malraux for not having gone into the Resistance. I mean, how many Frenchmen did?" said Todd, whose last biography was of the novelist Albert Camus. "I blame him for having cooked up the story. I don't blame him for wanting to be wounded; I blame him for saying that he was."
After a while he may have believed his own stories. "When he comes back from Russia in 1934 and says he's been hobnobbing with Stalin, he's telling fibs and he knows it," Todd said. "But in '75, when he is summoned by a parliamentary commission and he talks as though he chatted metaphysics with Stalin, at that time I think he believes it. Mythomaniacs end up believing their own stories, and the more detail, the more they believe."
A crucial aspect of Malraux's life was his long relationship with de Gaulle, an almost filial bond, it seems. Although de Gaulle never gave him the important ministries he wanted — "the general knew you can't let intellectuals play with matches," Todd said — he protected him and seems to have enjoyed his hectic and surely sometimes tiring company. Malraux was never really a man of the right, but he became a Gaullist, which is less contradictory than it seems.
"They are attached to each other," Todd said. "They're both in their own way slightly shy and slightly, I weigh my words, manic-depressive. They intimidate each other. A wants to be what B is and vice versa. It's a tradition in France, especially in the Fifth Republic, they all want to write. Even Pompidou felt it necessary to write a political anthology. De Gaulle wanted a stamp of approval as a writer, and Malraux gave him that. On the other hand, Malraux wanted to be an homme d'etat, a great statesman, but he is only un ministre d'etat. It's not at all the same thing."
As Malraux aged and played the great statesman, he became increasingly mercurial. One reason was deepening problems with alcohol and prescription drugs. Associates warned people away from him when he had been drinking; the euphemism was that he was having a "crise de palu," or a bout of malaria. "He was alcoholic because he was depressive, not depressive because he was alcoholic," Todd said.
Among the odder things about Malraux, noticed by all who saw him, were his dramatic tics, which accompanied flights of either verbal brilliance or logorrhea. Todd subscribes to the theory — unprovable at this point — that Malraux had Tourette's syndrome (although he didn't display one of the frequent symptoms, the uncontrollable use of foul language). "It's something that is accepted by most doctors," Todd said. "It was never mentioned by people around Malraux. For some reason people just talk about his tics or his nervousness."
"It gave me a shock to see him gesticulate and sniff, and another shock when he stopped," Todd said of an interview he conducted years ago with Malraux. "He got engrossed in what he was saying, and he stopped. It was part of the attraction-repulsion of Malraux on television. It's fascinating. What a show!"

Camille Rose PRODUCT REVIEW!

I too am protein sensitive and have breakage in the crown. What is your regular deep conditioner that you use with success? And, also I may try this one too. What other conditioners have you used with success that contains no or very little protein. Thank you.

@bacalove- Curl Junkie Curl Rehab is my regular moisturizing treatment. It is protein-free and I've used it for seven years. I use it with heat (steam+shower cap) because my hair is low porosity. CURLS Curly Q's Coconut Dream conditioner is a protein-free rinse-out conditioner that I've been using for three years. I use it mainly as a rinse-out/detangling conditioner, but I have used it as a deep conditioner before (added castor or olive oil). The results were comparable to the Curl Junkie. It is creamy and has great slip. I order CURLS from amazon, CURLS.biz, or pick it up at Sally's Beauty or Target.
The Camille Rose Algae Renew conditioner that Janell sent a sample of, is also working well for me and has a light amount of protein (Algae). I find it heavier and more moisturizing than the Coconut Water and Curl Junkie (especially for my crown area), but I would not use it as a regular moisturizing treatment because of the protein; maybe once a month.
One thing to note is that the broken crown area may benefit from more protein and heavier products. The Algae Renew or Coconut Water conditioner is something that I would use on my crown regularly, while using something protein-free on the rest of my hair. I also add strengthening oils (i.e. avocado or jojoba) to moisturizing conditioners that I am applying to my crown (Curl Junkie or CURLS Curly Q's) to reduce shed and breakage. My sis wrote an article on caring for the crown, check it out:

First I made a couple maxi skirts from Leanne's tutorial. The other skirt is black and is currently in the laundry because these are in heave rotation around here! Don't have a serger or need a little help whipping one up? Leanne will be teaching this class at Sewing Summit!!
I also made a couple Schoolhouse Tunics. This length is between the tunic and shirt length. Super simple pattern!
Lastly, I made a couple Wiksten Tanks a few days before we went to Comic Con. I chose a few "nerdy" fabrics for these. I did alter the pattern slightly by taking in the neck since I think the back was too wide, and brought the neck up about 1". And I used pre-made bias tape. This pattern uses French seams as opposed to serging the seams.
I wore a skirt that I made a few days ago and loved the fit, so I think I'll be pulling out that pattern next! Have you sewn any clothes? If not, are you interested in garment sewing?

You'll also receive my FREE Natural Health newsletter | Privacy Policy
Pepsi has created a new, supposedly healthier version of their brand of flavored sugar water, called Pepsi Raw.
Regular Pepsi contains ingredients such as fructose corn syrup, sugar, artificial colors, phosphoric acid, caffeine and citric acid.
Pepsi Raw, in comparison, uses ingredients like apple extract, caramel coloring, coffee leaf, tantaric acid from grapes, gum arabic from acacia trees, cane sugar and sparkling water. It has very slightly fewer calories -- about 10 calories less in a 300ml bottle.
For the moment, Pepsi Raw is only being served in select bars and clubs in parts of England, but a wider rollout is expected later this year.
It wasn't until early last year that I realized the food industry actually outspends the drug industry in seeking to manipulate the truth to increase their profits – usually at the expense of your long-term health.
And what is Pepsi Raw, if not another wolf in sheep's clothing trying to convince you that sparkling sugar water is a healthy beverage.
The food industry, as a whole, spends about $40 billion a year on advertising, brainwashing you to believe that junk food is somehow good for you and your kids. And the beverage industry is part of that pack.
PepsiCo is now the second largest food and beverage company in the world, with $92 billion in yearly retail sales, according to their 2006 Annual Report. Their advertising budget for just Diet Pepsi alone was $96 million in 2006, according to BrandWeek.
Like so many other food and beverage companies, PepsiCo has hitched their bandwagon to the "healthy," "natural," and "organic" catch words in order to stay in business.
In 2007, PepsiCo also acquired these natural brands:
Most all of you who read my newsletter regularly understand all too well how sugar can destroy your health and why a high-sugar drink can never really be said to improve your health.
Although it seems conventional medicine is finally starting to "get it," big business does not. Not even close.
Why Pepsi Raw is NOT a Healthy Drink
First and foremost, sugar is one of the biggest enemies you face in your pursuit of a healthy eating program. It appears in almost everything you eat and drink, making it very difficult to avoid, but avoiding sugary beverages is one of the easiest places to start.
It is a proven fact that sugar increases insulin levels, which can lead to:
Controlling your insulin levels is one of the most important things you can do to optimize your health, and avoiding sugar is essential to do this. As an example, drinking just ONE sugary soda per day can drive up a woman's risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 85 percent!
Sugar destroys your health in so many ways; I even compiled it into a long list of no less than 76 entries, including:
It Could Be Worse!
After reviewing all the dangers of sugar you might assume, well heck, let me pick the diet soda as a "safer" and healthier option.
For many years I didn't know what was worse, regular soda or diet soda. Now, after spending a few years doing the hard research and writing Sweet Deception, I am absolutely convinced that diet sodas are FAR more harmful.
Not only do they cause the same insulin dysfunctions, but they also have additional inherent toxicities that are not present in natural products like sugar. So in one respect Pepsi Raw is indeed a healthier option than two other sodas --ANY diet soda or any soda sweetened with high fructose corn syrup.
So, if you just have to have a soda for whatever reason, ones sweetened with raw cane sugar, like Pepsi Raw, would be a far better choice.
Will the U.K. Open the Door For Worldwide Distribution?
For now, Pepsi Raw will only be available in selected bars and clubs in seven cities in the U.K., including London, Manchester, Glasgow, Brighton, Birmingham, Leeds and Liverpool.
It remains to be seen whether or not the Brits will fall for the promise of a "healthy" soda, or whether it will fall flat on its face much like the failed "low-carb" dog and pony show called Pepsi Edge, which survived no more than one year.
With any amount of luck, and consumer knowledge about the true health hazards of sugar, Pepsi will not be able to spread its phony health product across the world.
The Healthiest Drink in the World
Nothing beats pure water when it comes to serving your body's needs. Keep in mind, however, that bottled water is not an assurance of purity. In fact, about 40 percent of bottled water is regular tap water, which may or may not have received any additional treatment.
And, most municipal tap water -- though generally far from pure -- must actually adhere to stricter purity standards than the bottled water industry. In one study, a third of more than 100 bottled water brands tested for contaminants were found to contain chemicals like arsenic and carcinogenic compounds, at levels exceeding state or industry standards.
Your best bet is simply to filter your own water at home using a reverse osmosis filter.
Avoid drinking unfiltered tap water, as chlorine and fluoride (which are added to most municipal water supplies) are toxic chemicals that should not be consumed in large quantities.
Freeing Yourself From Sugar Cravings
If you're having trouble with the notion of giving up the taste of sugary sweetness for the "non-flavor" of pure water, The Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is one of the best solutions I know of for this challenge.
EFT is an energy psychology tool that includes a marvelous technique called Turbo Tapping, which has helped tens of thousands of people kick the sugar habit.
Or you could use the hypnosis program I recommend that actually helps you change cravings for soda into cravings for water. Read my review here.

BABA YAGA's ASSISTANT by Marika McCoola is an engaging middle-grade graphic novel fantasy featuring a central character in Russian folklore.
Masha isn't looking forward to a new stepmother and stepsister, so she decides to leave the family and apply for a job as Baba Yaga's apprentice. She inherited a love of folklore and bit of magic from her grandmother, but that may not be enough to save her from this supernatural old woman who preys on children and flies around in a mortar wielding a pestle.
McCoola builds a convincing bridge between old folklore and modern society in this well-written, fast-paced graphic fantasy. Emily Carroll's convincing illustrations draw readers into the plot. Of particular note are the beautifully bordered folktale sequences woven throughout the story.
This spooky, yet lighthearted tale will delight readers who enjoy fairy tales, but it will also be a hit with graphic novel fans. Librarians looking for age-appropriate graphic novels for middle grade children will be thrilled with this short, illustrated work. Teachers will enjoy the many curriculum connections related to folklore.

New landing lighting
Kelly is right about Home Depot being the most dangerous place on earth. We went in there yesterday afternoon to pick up more sandpaper, and walked out with some new lighting for the staircase landing!
I just looked around for a "before" picture of the light fixture, but couldn't find one. Most likely because Kelly and I were so traumatized by the horrificness of the ugly modern IKEA light in such an old beautiful home. Here's what was hanging in our landing area:
And not only was it hanging there, it was also not installed properly. The wires hadn't been tucked up inside the ceiling plate, but were draped over the arms of the fixture.
When we "happened" to walk down the lighting aisle in Home Depot yesterday, we saw a gorgeous semi-flush mounted light fixture with some nice arts and crafts details for 25% off. So we impulse bought it, and I must say, it looks gorgeous installed in the landing. Now to just get rid of that popcorn ceiling!

photo credit: Sonic Youth
Kim Gordon is a lot like you.
That's because, like many women in the 21st century, Gordon discovered her husband's affair via technology.
And there's nothing like uncovering that kind of text message or sexy selfie.
"I went back to checking his e-mail, where I found several short, porno-like videos that she had sent him," she writes in her memoir, Girl In A Band. "Thurston denied ever responding to them, but sometime after that I found an e-mail he'd drafted to her with a photo of him attached…I asked him to move out of the house."
Gordon and her husband, Thurston Moore, were indie rock's most celebrated couple – the founders of no-wave Sonic Youth, a band that provided a critical soundtrack to Generation X. They were bandmates for 30 years and husband and wife for 27 before their marriage ended in 2011.
Sonic Youth was a cultural guidebook for Gen X women – and men – seeking a certain coolness especially in a partner. Who didn't like the cute, poet guy in English lit class who wore the Goo or Washing Machine T-shirt? Hell, many of us ended up dating, or marrying, that guy who later became a "lost soul" as Gordon describes Moore.
We grew up just like Gordon and Moore did, and parenthood, relationship drama and failures followed. If anything, Gordon's frank book serves as a roadmap for women who admired her in the '80s and '90s and now embark on their own solo journey.
Gordon, 61, tells us what's it like being alone, finding herself navigating in this brave new single world while trying to make sense of the past. She admits that while she may have appeared as the confident girl in the band, she was often not that off-stage. She had doubts, she had insecurities, she longed to be a mother and found family life comfortable in suburbia. And she and her husband fought. "If and when that took place, our fights mostly centered around how he treated or spoke to me." (Been there, experienced that, haven't you?)
Certainly, she talks about growing up in California and the Sonic Youth years, but her present and future is so much more interesting than that time she wore the infamous Eat Me t-shirt for a photo shoot.
Gordon's prologue ironically titled "The End" is so heart-wrenching that I had to throw the book down for a minute. She writes that during the last-ever Sonic Youth show at a huge festival in Brazil, she stood on the stage with her soon-to-be ex in front of thousands of fans. Her life was crumbling around her. "I don't think I had ever felt so alone in my whole life," she said.
Ouch. But whether on a stage, at a party or in an office cubicle, many of us have likely that sinking feeling that what was once beautifully pure is now forever tainted.
"The couple everyone believed was golden and normal and eternally intact, who gave younger musicians hope they could outlast a crazy rock-and-roll world, was now just a cliché of middle-aged relationship failure—a male midlife crisis, another woman, a double life," Gordon writes.
Who hasn't experienced a nasty breakup? The kind that makes you question your identify since you're no longer a couple but a rather single person for the first time in a long while. The kind that makes you cringe when someone mentions that other person's name. The kind that keeps you awake night after night reconstructing a playbook to tell you where it all went wrong. The kind that makes you realize that however cool you may think you are, fact is, he/she left you for someone else. The kind that makes you want to write a memoir like Gordon's and just get your side out there once and for all.
Creating is the answer when rudderless, Gordon advises. Make something that is your own without any connection to that other person. Find your center again. Take a dare.
Gordon, who has never considered music her life's passion, is a trained visual artist, and it's art that she loves passionately. She has shown her work at numerous art galleries, and while art is her primary focus now, that's not all she has going for her. Instead of languishing in the glory days of Sonic Youth, Gordon started a new band Body/Head with guitarist Bill Nace in 2011, and they have played at festivals around the globe. She also appeared in films and made guest appearances on TV shows such as "Girls".
Ultimately, Gordon instructs us to move on, to embrace fearlessness, to start living. We may not all play bass or guitar and sing, but we can certainly be a star in our own lives.
"I can still feel in my mind the sensation of making out with someone parked on a hill in front of the Echo Park house," Gordon writes. "He was a player, I knew that full well, and our good-night kiss turned into a full-on grope."
Gordon, in Kool Thing fashion, then pulled away from him.
"I know, it sounds like I'm someone else entirely now, and I guess I am," she concludes.
And, trust me, that isn't a bad thing, Kim.

Fresh ginger is a staple in my house. Right up there with garlic, lemon, and olive oil, you'll always find a big chunk of ginger root in my kitchen.
Daily, I drink a fresh lemonade with ginger & cayenne. It's good for digestion & alkalizing. For sick tummies hot ginger tea with honey. We just had to do tummy tea the other night. My little brother gets carsick - my mom carries crystallized ginger in her purse. Ginger is an anti inflammatory - good for arthritis. I hear they've done studies and proven that ginger is an effective treatment in ovarian cancer. The point is I think ... add ginger to your diet, however you can.
I can't think of a more pleasant way to add ginger to your diet, than with ginger chews from The Ginger People. Candy with a purpose. Stimulating to your senses.
I got to try one of each flavor of ginger chews. Original, Hot Coffee, Peanut, and Spicy Apple. I also got to try the cleanser, eye creme, and balm from amazing ginger skincare line GO. But, that is for another post :)
Back to the chews, the peanut is my favorite! If you're into Thai food, you know that peanut and ginger go well together. This is a marriage made in heaven - the peanut and the spicy ginger blend to create a creamy flavor, add sweet and it's perfect! They are dangerous to me - I could eat them all day long.
They are all really yummy.
I think a perfect candy for after dinner. Ginger stimulates digestion and might aide you after a large meal. You know how restaurants offer peppermints after your meal. I think they should start doing ginger instead.
Ginger is good stuff :)

Claude Dray, a billionaire French art collector and real estate investor, was found dead in his home in a Paris suburb Tuesday. Investigators believe the murder might have been a professional hit. Dray bought South Beach's historic National Hotel in 2007 and also was involved in other real estate investments in Miami.
Dray and his wife Simone were considered some of the most important collectors of art deco furniture, but sold off their collection in 2006 for a record-breaking $76 million. A year later, Dray bought what could be considered a crown jewel of any art deco collection, an actual historic Miami Beach art deco hotel. Dray took control of the National for an undisclosed sum. He was also an investor in the Plaza at Brickell condominium complex.
According to the Daily Mail, a butler found Dray dead in his bedroom at 9 a.m. Tuesday, dressed only in shorts and a T-shirt. Three bullets were lodged in his neck. Investigators believe the murder might have been a professional hit, and think the gunman used a silencer on a 15-year-old pistol. However, the weapon has not been found.

Dray, one of the most prominent Jews in France, had received several threats in the past, and his mansion, the Villa Madrid, was armed with state-of-the-art security and often patrolled by guards.
Investigators found no signs of a break-in, and the domestic staff never heard the gun shots.
His wife was in the United States at the time of the murder.

Dallas – April 10, 2012 – Corepoint Health announced today that Innovative Dialysis Systems and its parent company Ambulatory Services of America, Inc., used Corepoint Integration Engine to implement 11 complex healthcare IT interfaces during the first quarter of 2012. Using Corepoint Integration Engine, Innovative Dialysis was able to integrate 17 newly acquired dialysis centers seamlessly. Innovative Dialysis is headquartered in Long Beach, Calif., and Ambulatory Services of America is headquartered in Brentwood, Tenn.
Hal Porter, Vice President of Information Technology at ASA, said "a key reason we chose to partner with Corepoint Health was due to Corepoint's reputation for solid customer service and their ability to help us build healthcare interfaces quickly and productively."
Porter highlighted the advantages of Corepoint's Integration Engine in assisting Innovative Dialysis and ASA in integrating the recent acquisition of Renal CarePartners, Inc. Porter said, "Because Corepoint Integration Engine makes it easy to connect disparate systems and databases, we were able to seamlessly integrate the data from the 17 acquired facilities, each with a unique information system. It would have been much more difficult and taken much longer without Corepoint Health."
"Since installing Corepoint Integration Engine, Innovative Dialysis' clinical staff works more efficiently, so that staff members can spend more quality time with patients," Porter said. Prior to partnering with Corepoint Health, the same patient data had to be entered into three to four different databases. Now, Innovative has one central point of patient registration, and that information is distributed to all associated databases through interfaces built and maintained using Corepoint Integration Engine.
"Our plan is that Corepoint Integration Engine will become the central nervous system for everything we do, so we will have more control over the data. Now we can translate the data and make different systems work better together," Porter said.
Because every healthcare provider is unique, Corepoint Health CEO Phil Guy said it is important to truly understand each provider's integration challenges, something that is only possible through open communication and a team approach.
"We are proud of the relationships we have built with our customers, which truly is a collaborative partnership created from frequent, candid conversations that allow us to understand each client's unique needs. This team philosophy helps Corepoint Health thoroughly understand and address each customer question, suggestion, or initiative," Guy said. "Knowing our customers, combined with our flexibility to consistently add new product features, are key factors that Corepoint Integration Engine has been named the number one interface engine in the Top 20 Best in KLAS Awards: Software & Professional Services for the past three years."
About Ambulatory Services of America, Inc. and Innovative Dialysis Systems:

We live in a space-time continuum that exists within the precincts of our definition of reality. A reality that is an image our mind tells apart from fiction according to what we define; what it helps us define using equations and numbers. Beyond that reality, nothing exists. Not space, not time, not another universe. Rather another set of equations that are in chaos, they have no pattern, no rules, no numbers to work with and not a world to define. The equations cannot be defined as random; they cannot be defined as irregular. They cannot be defined at all. They do not exist.
In the Almighty's world, time is not finite. Neither is space. Neither is He. That is the world he created to exist in. He is there in the past, the present and the future. Simultaneously. But if we make infinite steps down we come to our world. We cannot exist at all times at the same time. And even though we might be, it doesn't make sense. We had to introduce divisions of time in order to model a world that makes sense to us. Every little thing is infinitely small and infinitely big. But we have to introduce measurements for their sizes to make sense to us. We make measurements because our minds have limits of understanding. Before A, nothing makes sense, after Z, nothing makes sense. But A to Z exists, according to our minds, because it needs a definite world to work with. What are the real limits? Do the limits exist? Do we exist? Does the mind exist?
We have a couple of senses, the mind inclusive, that helps us understand what's real and what's not. Our understanding is limited to the range of our senses. Anything that we cannot sense is not known to exist and is termed inexistent. But the universe and beyond is made of everything it is made up of. Including the ones we do not know and the ones we cannot interpret. So that our definition of reality is not what is actually real!
Reality changes its meaning in every persons head. If it was the same, we would be all having the same characters and making the same decisions. Reality changes meaning under alcohol. And until it the effect of the drug diminishes, the alcoholic will have a new version of reality under which he or she will strive to live in. Until we wake up from a dream the world the dream creates is our new reality.
Everything we see, everything we hear, everything we touch, everything is in the mind. The pain, the cookies, the cartoons and even us. Just like in the dreams. Just like the new world of a psycho. Maybe this life is all part of a big dream, maybe only our brains exist, somewhere out there. Maybe they exist as programs of intelligent beings in God's programmed virtual world. But until the simulation is over, this will be our reality! Behold!

Before the Move
We recommend getting recommendations from friends, neighbors, co-workers, or others who have used the mover recently. You should get written estimates for the cost of your move from a number of moving companies and compare costs and services. Be sure to choose a mover that has a valid UTC permit. You may access the information on the commissions website: www.wutc.wa.gov or by calling 1-800-562-6150.
Sometimes it's difficult to plan a move several months in advance. However, the peak season for moving companies is during the summertime, making the demand and costs higher. Plan ahead and if you can schedule your move in the fall, winter or spring, we recommend it.
Start packing early. Moving a home or business takes a lot of work and planning. When the big move day comes, we want to make sure you're stress free and ready. One suggestion we have is to pack a box a day. You spread the amount of work over a manageable period of time.
Always be careful with packaging belongings when preparing for a move. Specialty boxes for TV's and other breakable items are available at certain boxing and container stores and provided by ANC Movers. For other non breakable items, most sturdy card board boxes will work. However, we recommend letting us handle the breakables because it's what we do every day and we are experts in handling the more difficult to package items.
Mark the outside of the boxes with a pen or marker when packing up so when you arrive at your new location, you'll know exactly where it goes.
During & After the Move
Be at the destination at the agreed-upon time of delivery.
Check for damages while the mover is present. If there is loss or damage, make a specific notation on the bill of lading.
You must pay for the move before your goods are unloaded. If you have made other arrangements, you should note it on the bill of lading. WUTC rules ensure that in no instance are you required to pay more than 25% above your written estimate. If you received only a verbal estimate, the mover is not restricted to charging you the amount quoted to you.
Tipping the movers 15%-20% of the total cost of the move is the general rule of thumb. Tips can be added to the credit card or you can pay it by cash to the team captain and team captain will in turn, make sure the team members get paid.
If you find your goods have been damaged, ask the mover for a claim form. All claims must be filed in writing and the mover must acknowledge written claims within 10 days and respond to them within 120 days. Be sure to keep the damaged property, the mover has the right to inspect any damaged property before settling a claim.

So you're hurting. You're struggling. Every day you wake up in the morning wondering how you're going to make it through. It's so bad sometimes you can feel it, physically. You get that sick feeling in the pit of your stomach, or that intense ache in your chest, or that lump in your throat. When you're around others you fake it as best you can, but the faking gets more and more difficult every day this thing drags on. And you wonder how long you can hang on.
Been there.

My Story: I started using essential oils in my 20s. Then life distracted me and I veered away from their regular use, though I always had one essential oil or another on-hand. More recent tumultuous life events reminded me of how essential oils had helped me and began using them therapeutically again. I wondered then whether I could increase my knowledge of health effects of essential oils and professionally disseminate the power of these oils to others. Hence the birth of my vocation!
I started studying with the Joy Essence School of Aromatherapy Inc.in January of 2014. It took just over two years to complete my certification with the Canadian Federation of Aromatherapists, and I became a Certified Aromatherapy Health Professional in 2016; and 2018 marked my debut as a teacher of Aroma•Education Workshops. The costs of opening a storefront were, and still are prohibitive. A dear friend suggested I try the Farmers' Market. And here we are, four years later. Here's to many more great aromatherapy-filled years!

Smooth Hair with Macadamia Natural Oil Hair Products
Do you straighten or blow dry hair more than 4 times a week? Do you use hair color? Do you put your hair though any chemical processing?
All of the above leads to dry hair.
Dry hair is easily damaged and the results are split ends, poofy ends and unhealthy looking hair that is weak and easily broken.
What to put on dry hair:
Today's Flash Beauty Sale includes the Macadamia Natural Oil Rinse, Deep Repair Masque and Hair Oil Treatment. These are your go-to essentials for whenever you wash or style hair that needs some TLC.
The Macadamia Natural Oil Rinse is a super-hydrating deep conditioner. It will smooth out poofy ends after 5 minutes. You will notice the results once you comb your hair. It works for all hair types and is ideal if your hair needs moisture. Use it daily to soften, moisturize and detangle hair.
The Macadamia Natural Oil Deep Repair Masque is a hair reconstructor ideal for twice a week. This will be your ally in preserving your hair color after last week's salon visit! It also helps to keep your hair smoother in between hair straightening. Use it twice a week and enjoy your super-soft hair.
The Macadamia Natural Oil Healing Oil Treatment is oil for your hair. You apply this hair treatment on damp hair before straightening with a flat iron or before blow drying your locks. The hair oil is perfect for using with any styling tool because it creates a barrier that protects the hair cuticle from losing its moisture. If your hair loses moisture, it dehydrates and looks dry. This hair serum or oil can be used by itself after washing your hair. Apply a nickel-sized amount to palms before using any styling tool or after washing on damp hair. Comb through and style away.
Macadamia Natural Oil Hair Products is a hair care line infused with Macadamia and Argan oils. It is exactly what you need to achieve the shiny, luscious hair that you spot on the red carpet!

Let's face it. With all the fun you are set to have your hair should match the excitement of the season and of course your cheer! Here we feature the steps for a hairstyle with body, waves, and a little va-va-voom!
Styling Tip 1: Choose a curling iron for its barrel size. Madonna loves Veronica Lake curls, and her curls look as if she used a ¾ inch or 19mm barrel. Our favorite is this zebra print curling iron. A ¾ inch or even a little smaller than that like 5/8 inch or 16mm barrel creates a loose, full curl. If you have short hair, and want a tight, bouncy curl a 3/8 inch or 13mm barrel. These tight curls can be combed through to create a retro hairstyle. For body and volume a 1 inch or 1 ¼ inch, this size barrel creates deep waves.
Styling Tip 2: Find out the heat settings of your curling wand. A heated styling tool can reach temperatures of up to 410 degrees. Unfortunately, many of us have hair that is difficult to curl or curls don't last very long once you create curls. This is the reason for a professional curling iron that reaches such high temperatures.
Styling Tip 3: Use a hair serum before styling. The aforementioned tip informed you a curling wand can get as hot as 410 degrees. Don't think you need a hair serum? Do you heat up a pan without a little olive oil?
Styling Tip 4: Let's get ready to curl! What kind of curls are you interested in? Step 1. Part your hair as desired. Step 2. Apply a hair serum like Agadir Argan Oil Hair Treatment, placing special attention to the ends of hair. Your ends tend to be the driest. Step 3. Turn on your curling wand and wait a few seconds. Step 4. Curl your hair in 2 inch sections starting from the front. Use a clip to keep hair you have curled in placed. Step 5. Hold the iron vertically, curl sectioned hair, and clip completed hair. Step 6. Wait about 10 minutes for your curls to cool. Comb them lightly with your fingers. Apply a finishing spray to hold.
Styling Tip 5: Consider a curling iron with a tourmaline or ceramic coated barrel. The ceramic or tourmaline technology preserves hair color and prevents frizz.
Beauty Trends: Top 4 Hairstyles for Fall 2012
On Pinterest, the Hair and Beauty category sees thousands of pins a day! Here we feature 4 of the hairstyles trending for fall and the styling products perfect for that hairstyle. Do you think there is another hairstyle that should be featured? Let us know! We will put it up right away!
The "Chic Ponytail" is a sleek and polished high crown ponytail and requires a small amount of effort and styling. First, a hair serum that protects against frizz and humidity is needed as the hairstyle is to look smooth. Rebecca, lead beauty specialists of TheBeautyPlace.com approves of the TIGI Rockaholic Rock Out Shine Blaster for its non-greasy delivery of shine and control of frizz. A flat hair brush is needed to smooth hair back, and a band to secure the hair. A lightweight finishing spray can be used to maintain all day form and for avoiding flyaways.
In 2012, magazines all over the world saw Beyonce, Zooey Deschanel, and Jessica Biel sporting bangs of all styles. Bangs are the latest hair accessory equal to a fabulous mani-pedi done with the latest nail art designs. Whether bangs are full and thick or swept to the side, bangs frame the face and accentuate eyes. To style bangs, a hair dryer with ionic technology will prevent frizz and keep bangs looking smooth all day. The online company's best-selling styling tool is the Bio Ionic Powerlight Pro Dryer. At 1875 watts, it is one of the most powerful hair dryers ever made, and its infrared and negative ion technology allows for faster drying and eliminating frizz and static.
The upside down French braid is a favorite among beauty bloggers. Wear this hairstyle on the weekends when running errands to keep hair tidy. It is done by flipping hair upside down and brushing hair from the nape of the neck and up. While keeping hair upside down, starting at the nape of the neck, a small chunk of hair is used to begin a French braid. The French braid should be continued until reaching the crown of head and hair is secured with a band creating a high ponytail. Next, hair is twisted into a bun and secured with another band. A hairspray with a flexible firm hold like Agadir Argan Oil Hairspray is applied to prevent flyaways.
The ombre is a French term that features darker more natural shades at the roots and a more highlighted shade at the ends. It's a hair trend that gives more flexibility in-between visits to a hair colorist. The beauty specialists stated they have numerous clients donning this trend. There is the ombre mani, the ombre hair, and most recently ombre lips! This look on hair is very versatile and whether hair is curly or very straight it looks great. Examples of the ombre trend are Khloe Kardashian going dark to light and Gwyneth Paltrow going light to dark.
Get Rid of Dandruff with Argan Oil
There are many hair treatments available, some homemade like lemon for dandruff or prescription options like nizoral for the treatment of dandruff. Both are very popular, but we are very proud to inform you that Agadir Argan Oil Shampoo and Conditioner Liter Set can help with dandruff and other itchy scalp concerns!
Dandruff, also known as Seborrhea Dermatitis, causes those dry, white flakes of skin found on many a collar or shoulder. The general itchiness can be a bit annoying to dandruff sufferers, and when present, it's not a big deal because it doesn't pose any health risk. Even though it is very common, doctors still don't know what causes it. There are many hair care products in the market that promise to eliminate the symptoms, but once you stop using the product, dandruff seems to come back – sometimes as if with vengeance!
Agadir Argan Oil works for dandruff sufferers because it contains various antioxidants and moisturizers. The antioxidants nourish scalp and keep it hydrated. It is sulfate-free so that nothing irritates or causes stress to scalp. If you color-process your mane, it is versatile because argan oil protects hair from becoming dull or brassy.

Agadir Argan Oil Styling Products and Hair Treatments
TheBeautyPlace.com strives to obtain the best beauty products at discounted prices for its loyal customer base and ever increasing client list. Their consultants suggest the use of the latest hair care treatment to hit the beauty market – the use of one the world's rarest oil, Argan oil.
Argan oil is an oil produced from the kernels of the argan tree, indigenous to Morocco, and highly valued for its nutritive, cosmetic, and medicinal purposes. Today, argan oil remains one of the rarest oils in the world due to the fact that the argan tree can only be found in specific areas in Morocco. The pits are harvested from the tree, grounded, and pressed to make the nutty oil. Argan oil is vastly rich in Vitamin E, antioxidants, carotenes, squalenes, and unsaturated fatty acids.
Because of this highly-prized restorative oil, Agadir Argan Oil Moisture Masque is fast becoming a go-to hair treatment for hair that is seriously damaged from the use of chemical processing and styling tools. A stylist, who is a regular customer of TheBeautyPlace.com, stated "This masque is heaven in a jar for my clients. A lady became a client of mine soon after I helped her survive a hair bleaching disaster. This client attempted to dye her hair a platinum blonde at home! After inspecting her hair I noticed it felt rubbery and it was totally fried! I applied this masque to her hair and her hair was instantly strengthened. This hair masque saved her hair."
The masque is moisture packed and contains Keratin Protein. It acts as a moisturizer, providing deep repair benefits for hair that is dry and presenting signs of breakage, like split ends. After use of this thick and creamy hair treatment, hair is more smooth, strengthened, and shiny. It brings hair back to life because elasticity to damaged hair is restored. The consultants at TheBeautyPlace.com, promise that easier combing and luxurious shine is possible with this hair masque.
Agadir Argan Oil Hair Masque is rich in antioxidants, vitamin E, and keratin protein. Consequently, the consultants recommend using the hair masque as "preventative medicine." The use of styling tools like flat irons and blow dryers, increases the chances of thermal damage. If the masque is used 2 to 3 times a week, hair will be more strengthened and not prone to breakage or brittleness. Also, if used on color-dyed hair, the masque is sulfate-free and will work to preserve hair color, so color fading will not be an issue, meaning more time in-between visits to a stylist.
For product effectiveness, apply Agadir Argan Oil Hair Masque hair treatment 2-3 times per week. It can be used in place of a daily conditioner 1-2 times per week or as often as needed. TheBeautyPlace.com consultants stated the hair masque leaves Agadir's signature, a distinct aromatherapy fragrance.

Hair that is very textured tends to be dryer and it is essential to keep it hydrated and moisturized. CHI Deep Brilliance Hydration Shampoo and Conditioner duo will not strip your hair of its natural oils. It actually works by adding moisture to hair. Since it contains silk and milk proteins, it also detangles hair! Get this duo if your hair is coarse and textured.
Use of styling products or styling tools work wonders. Try one or a few and figure which ones make your hair look gorgeous. If you use a heated styling tool, protect your hair with an oil treatment like Agadir Argan Oil Spray Treatment 5.1oz. The spray version of this treatment is very practical especially for long hair.

The growth of the Hyundai A-League continues to gather pace outside Australia with 65 countries around the world exposed to A-League action.
The growth of the Hyundai A-League continues to gather pace outside Australia with 65 countries around the world exposed to A-League action as well as a global streaming deal that means all 127 regular season matches can be watched on line.
The increase in the number of countries and people exposed to the Hyundai A-League highlights the unique global reach football can deliver.

On top of full match broadcasts, highlights of Hyundai A-League matches can be viewed in 53 countries throughout Asia and the Middle East, including Japan and South Korea, on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation-s "Australian Network".
"The growth of the Hyundai A-League has been extraordinary in the last two years and that is starting to bear fruit overseas as more and more football fans around the world develop an appetite for our national competition," said FFA CEO David Gallop.

The pharmaceuticals business is, without a doubt, one of the most lucrative businesses. Yet in spite of that well known fact, we see relatively few people getting into this line of business. When you try to dig deeper, to understand why relatively few people are in the pharmaceutical business (in spite of it being a rather lucrative business), you come to discover one thing. You discover that the main reason why few people are in the pharmaceuticals business is in that there are many barriers to entry into this particular business.
The fact that only people who are qualified pharmacists can run the pharmaceuticals businesses serves as one barrier to entry into this particular field. Even where one is purely an entrepreneur, and he or she can get qualified pharmacists to work for him or her, there is still the question of technical knowledge. That is where his or her lack of technical knowledge may lead to him or her being conned, or otherwise being unable to run the business well.
The fact that the capital required to set up a pharmaceutical business is so high serves as another barrier to entry into this particular field. A proper pharmacy is supposed to have all the major drugs, and purchasing all the major drugs to stock the pharmacy calls for quite a bit of capital. On the higher end of the business, setting up a pharmaceuticals manufacturing plant calls for even greater investment, in sophisticated equipment, which requires a lot of money. And a smaller enterprise thinking of getting in that field has to remember that it will be competing against global names, such as Novartis and Pfizer.
Then there is the fact that the procedure for getting a license to run a pharmaceutical business is so long and complicated, and that serves as yet another barrier to entry in the field.

God's Dream for NJF: New Level Living!
This is the dream that God has put on our hearts…
God has given us the dream of a people reaching their full potential in Christ, where our dream is a deep desire for God, not what we can do for him. Ephesians 3:17-19
17And I pray that Christ will be more and more at home in your hearts as you trust in him. May your roots go down deep into the soil of God's marvelous love. 18And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love really is. 19May you experience the love of Christ, though it is so great you will never fully understand it. Then you will be filled with the fullness of life and power that comes from God.
God has given us the dream of a people being set free from lifelong fears, shame, false guilt, anxiety and emotional pain. Romans 12:2
2Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will know what God wants you to do, and you will know how good and pleasing and perfect his will really is.
God has given us the dream of a people experiencing freedom from life controlling problems whether they are substances, behaviors, or relationships. Romans 8:1-3
1So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. 2For the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you through Christ Jesus from the power of sin that leads to death. 3The law of Moses could not save us, because of our sinful nature. But God put into effect a different plan to save us. He sent his own Son in a human body like ours, except that ours are sinful. God destroyed sin's control over us by giving his Son as a sacrifice for our sins.
God has given us the dream of a people growing in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ and developing a passionate spirituality. Matthew 5:3-4
"You're blessed when you're at the end of your rope. With less of you there is more of God and his rule. "You're blessed when you feel you've lost what is most dear to you. Only then can you be embraced by the One most dear to you.
God has given us the dream of a people worshiping God in spirit and in truth, exalting the name of Jesus Christ. Matthew 22:37
37Jesus replied, "'You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.'
God has given us the dream of a people experiencing authentic friendships and relationships in small group communities. John 13:14-15
14And since I, the Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other's feet. 15I have given you an example to follow. Do as I have done to you.
God has given us the dream to be a people of excellence and integrity. Colossians 3:17
17And whatever you do or say, let it be as a representative of the Lord Jesus, all the while giving thanks through him to God the Father.
God has given us the dream of a people having right priorities and being a healthy church family. John 14:15
15"If you love me, obey my commandments.
God has given us the dream where people utilize there gifts, talents, and abilities and have joy in serving one another. 1 John 4:10-11
10This is real love. It is not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins. 11Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other.
God has given us the dream where people truly enjoy the abundant life…people resting in the forgiveness of God and experiencing the peace and freedom in Christ. John 10:10
My purpose is to give life in all its fullness.
God has given us the dream where people can discover who they are in Christ and be free to "accept themselves," deepening their relationship with God and others. Matthew 22:39
'Love your neighbor as yourself.'
God has given us the dream that "Together…we lead others into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ" both locally and globally. Matthew 28:18-20
18Jesus came and told his disciples, "I have been given complete authority in heaven and on earth. 19Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. 20Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age."

The Supremacy of the Church Local?Sunday, July 30th, 2006
"The leadership of nurture structures (congregations and linkage structures) on whom we largely depend for our Christian education have always tended to a mono-structural view of the Church. In fact, our theologians tend to define the Church in terms of this nurture structure." —Charles Mellis in Committed Communities, pg. 6.
This mindset that Mellis refers to (and then goes on to effectively deconstruct in his book) is what I refer to as "the supremacy of the church local." It's that ill-informed concept that says the church in its local form is the only legitimate expression of the body of Christ. In this view, the congregational/diocesan form is the only true expression of what "church" is.
Unfortunately, this truncated view of the church has prevailed, as Mellis notes, in Western theological education except in the field of missiology. While missionaries and other apostolically gifted individuals are often required to endure a classic theological curriculum (including Greek, Hebrew, and other assorted irrelevant subjects) to get duly certified for ministry through an educational system biased toward the scholarly, those headed into pastoral ministry for the church local and its hierarchal "linkage structures" (ie, denominations) rarely have to immerse themselves in missiological studies.
It is a rare pastor who is exposed to the theology of mission or the history of missional ecclesiology. While they may have studied church history from the perspective of doctrine, heresies and apologetics, they seldom examine the fundamental structural dynamics that are essential for an understanding of the health and expansion of the Christian movement. For example, few ever wrestle with a volume such as Kenneth Scott Latourette's A History of Christianity or any seminal texts on a theology of mission. How many pastors-to-be have been immersed in Newbigin, McGavran, Winter or Bosch?
What can suffer as a result is an understanding and appreciation of those apostolic structures upon which the vitality of the Christian movement has always depended. This lack of understanding is widespread in the West. One sees it across a broad spectrum from the traditional/historic churches of modernity, including the mega-churches—which are particularly susceptible because of their perception of self-sufficiency—to the emerging church movement.
Yet when leaders—pastoral, lay, and those leading apostolic movements—all "get it," the resulting synergy that occurs from such a biblical, Spirit-directed interdependence is a tremendous thing to experience. And when it genuinely happens, the name of Jesus is renowned among the nations in an Ephesians 3:20 way, "...immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine."

Play, the phone and watch TV so the habits of the American people when eating. Hence, they are difficult to lose weight. A study reveals if Americans can not eat if away from the SWNS reporting gadget. This research was conducted by Nutrisystem, America. A company that helps people lose weight.
As many as two thousand Americans have followed this survey. The result, 29% of them claim to eat while playing gadgets. While the other 71% admitted eating while watching TV.
When everyone is asked about what makes the meal more enjoyable, they answer watching tv than chatting with the family. When eating, people are encouraged to focus on the food eaten.
"Preliminary research shows that focusing on eating can help you lose weight and reduce your caloric and fat intake," says Courtney McCormick, a dietitian at Nutrisystem.
As many as 34% of people who researched also said if they eat faster if while watching tv or playing gadgets. They did not even believe that they were fast enough to eat at that time.
"What we eat, how much, and how often, is the thing we need to think about if we want to lose weight, the part we might not think about is how we eat, and it starts with putting gadgets on and off the tv," Courtney McCormick.
Controlling food intake is also very important. In the study, 57% said if they had time to control how much food was eaten. The portion of eating Americans so much more today, according to McCormick.
More: This Breakfast Jennifer Garner Always Eats to Stay Slim
"Americans eat more and this is because they eat more outside, they think the portion of the restaurant is the correct portion of food, although sometimes it's four times as big as learning to control the portion of the meal is the key to losing weight and sustaining ideal weight ", added Mc Cormick.
So it's best when eating focus on the food you eat and keep your food intake healthy.

MD1312 Southall Gas Works
Executive summary
The Southall gas works development scheme lies within the Southall OAPF area and adjacent to the forthcoming Crossrail station. Its delivery will provide up to 3,750 new dwellings, new schools, healthcare, leisure provisions and nearly 50,000m2 of employment space including retail, offices, hotel and conference facilities.
The Mayor granted outline and full planning permissions for this scheme in 2010 and its delivery is currently dependent on the acquisition of land interests owned by third parties to provide for new access routes into the main site. The developer, St James West London (SJWL), is negotiating with all landowners to acquire their land by agreement.
This paper seeks approval for the GLA to start preparations so that it can consider whether or not to make a Compulsory Purchase Order to facilitate the acquisition of land required for the Southall Gas Works development in the event that such land cannot be acquired through negotiation alone.
