Woodworking was essential to the Romans. It provided, sometimes the only, material for buildings, transportation, tools, and household items. Wood also provided pipes, dye, waterproofing materials, and energy for heat.[5]:1Although most examples of Roman woodworking have been lost,[5]:2 the literary record preserved much of the contemporary knowledge. Vitruvius dedicates an entire chapter of his De architectura to timber, preserving many details.[6] Pliny, while not a botanist, dedicated six books of his Natural History to trees and woody plants, providing a wealth of information on trees and their uses.[7]
Finally, as I shared in my post last week on how I learned woodworking, I learned how to use power tools by watching YouTube videos and then just trying them out for myself. I highly recommend this method to learn how to use your power tools. There are lots of videos on specific models of tools too. So, watch a few how-to videos and very importantly, review the tool manual and safety guide for your own tools. Then, go ahead and try the tool out yourself and start using it!
Always nice to see project ideas. Yet, to make a living while woodworking all projects need to be scaled up so that one can actually earn enough to survive and compete against the flood of Chinese imports and others. Substitute products made from plastic, metal or wood are a common place and normally cheaper due to mass production and human rights violations. Politicians don't care about the disappearance of many of America's Cottage Industries and most consumers don't care as well.
This is another example of small woodwork projects that require good time and woodworking skills. This item is built using multiple wooden parts. Each part is shaped in a specific design and then all parts are attached together to make the final TV set. I have never tried building this one, mostly because I don't own an iPhone, but also because making this item is not an easy task. By the way, it works fine with all kinds of phones.
With two varieties, red and white, oak is known to be easy to work with and relatively strong. However, furniture makers often opt for white oak over red oak for its attractive figure and moisture-resistance.[12] Depending on the kind needed, oak can probably be found at a local home center or a lumberyard for a bit pricier than other hardwoods.[12][13]
This self-clamping table saw fence takes only seconds to put on and lets you crank the blade into the fence to create both angled cuts along board edges and extremely thin rip or rabbet cuts. With a hand- or jigsaw, cut pieces from a 1×4, making the inside width of the "L" a hair under the thickness of your saw's fence. Drill 5/16-in. holes in the L-blocks and plywood fence and join them with two 1/4-in. x 3-in. countersunk machine screws, washers and Wing-Nuts. As always, use extra caution when you're sawing without a blade guard. Our thanks for this new sawing angle to professional furniture maker George Vondriska. Check out these 16 genius tool hacks you need to know!
A bottle carrier is a bucket like carrier used to carry beer bottles and so. Yes, the same one you must have used to carry your six-pack. Drinker or not, a bottle carrier is a useful item for everyone. It can be used to carry around or store small items around a household. And it is also very easy to build one. I have several of these lying around my house. Also known as wooden beer totes, this is one wood item you will absolutely love to make. It is also super easy to build.

Some tools required for this project are hole saw, drilling machine, pencil, tape measure, clamps, etc. This tutorial explains every step properly with images so that anyone can make a wooden sofa sleeve easily. Those, who prefer a video tutorial, can visit the below link to a YouTube video that illustrates the process of building a DIY Sofa Sleeve Cupholder.
You can transfer a graphic on any wood piece of your choice, including a frame, top of a table, etc. The surface should be clean and big enough for the graphic paper. I am also sharing a video tutorial here that explains in detail the process of transferring any graphic to a wooden surface using a freezer paper. Just gather the items you need and follow this video to carve your favorite designs on your favorite wood items.
Although refrigerators long ago rendered them obsolete, antique oak ice boxes remain popular with collectors, even though they're expensive and hard to find. This do-it-yourself version is neither: it's both inexpensive and easy to build. An authentic reproduction of an original, the project is especially popular when used as a bar, but it has many
Here's a safe and sound way to make long cuts with a circular saw on plywood clamped to a worktable. Cut about 12 in. into the plywood, then twist a piece of duct tape into a bow tie, with up-and-down adhesive faces. Slide it in the saw kerf and press the tape down above and under the plywood. Now as you finish the cut, the trailing end can't curl down dangerously as you saw. Hats off to Mike Connelly for simplifying this job. Check out how to make this DIY duct tape wallet.
It might not be the easiest project in this list, but if you already have some experience with wood cutting and joinery, it won't be any hassle at all. Thanks to the extremely detailed instructions it shouldn't really be a problem even if you're not very familiar with woodworking. This could actually be a great project for refining your woodworking skills as a beginner!
While trying to trace an exact copy of the throat plate for my table saw, I came up with this nifty technique using an ordinary pencil. I just shaved my pencil into a half-pencil by carefully grinding it on my belt sander. The flat edge enables my modified pencil to ride straight up along the edge of the template. It also works great for marking and then shaping inlays for my woodworking projects. — Tim Reese. How to cut circles with a band saw.
I recently came across this beautiful wooden swing set, which was made in the shape of a boat. Cool, isn't it? The very first look was enough for me to start loving it. Although I haven't yet tried building one myself, I am definitely going to. Later I realized that you can also build a baby cradle with the same idea. After all, what can be more calming than the tender rocking of a boat? This swing set will surely help your child get more gentle sleep.
Build this handy stool in one hour and park it in your closet. You can also use it as a step to reach the high shelf. All you need is a 4 x 4-ft. sheet of 3/4-in. plywood, wood glue and a handful of 8d finish nails. Cut the plywood pieces according to the illustration. Spread wood glue on the joints, then nail them together with 8d finish nails. First nail through the sides into the back. Then nail through the top into the sides and back. Finally, mark the location of the two shelves and nail through the sides into the shelves. Don't have floor space to spare? Build these super simple wall-mounted shoe organizers instead!
I know this seems really simple and you may already know how to read a tape measure so just hear me out on this one! Often times with woodworking you need to make exact measurements and cuts and it's rarely pretty even numbers like 15 inches or 15 1/2 inches. It's usually like 15 5/8 inches or 15 9/16 inches. So, really knowing how to read a tape measure in its entirety is important. And I've created a quick post on how to read a tape measure the easy way along with a helpful free printable.
Clamping up four mitered corners is tricky. You can buy specialty clamps for this, but I make my own. Here's how to do it. Start with a long 1×4, as it's easier (and safer) to clamp for making the angled cuts than a short piece. Mark out the blocks, and then drill a 1-in. diameter hole in the center of each one. The hole prevents the blocks from getting glued to your project. Cut 45-degree angles tangent to the hole, and then cut the blocks free from the long board. We'll walk you through how to make one for your home shop.
Furnishing and decorating your patio is not an easy task – but then again, it has to be done! Your patio is obviously one of the most important rooms in your home, as you can easily turn it into your little piece of Heaven, your "safe spot" in your home where you can retreat whenever you want to ignore the world and just spend some time alone all by yourself.
Finding a toolbox for a mechanic, for his hand tools, is not a big challenge at all - there are dozens of the tool boxes available on the market, from huge roll-around shop cases to small metal boxes. Plumbers, electricians, and farmers are well served, too, with everything from pickup-truck storage to toolboxes and belts. But, if you are a shop-bound woodworker then the case changes. You get to need a tool box that suits the range and variety of hand tools that most woodworkers like to have. For those who deny making do with second best, there's only one solution, you've to build a wooden toolbox that should be designed expressly for a woodworking shop.
Popular and easy to work with, cherry is in high demand for its reddish-brown color and ease of staining and finishing. Cherry likely won't be at the local home center, but should be at a lumberyard for a somewhat expensive price.[12] This hardwood is a very common material for furniture, and is resistant to normal wear-and-tear, but it is best for indoor pieces.[13]
As you can see in the image, this shelf goes on both sides of the corner wall. It looks beautiful and can be used to organize books, trophies, pictures frames and many other things. The strength and design of the shelf depends on how properly you build it. First time workers definitely need some guidance to help them with the process. Therefore, I am including this basic video that I found on YouTube that demonstrates the process of making corner wall wooden shelves.
While many woods can be used for carving, there are some clear favorites, including Aspen, Basswood, Butternut, Black Walnut, and Oak.[14] Because it has almost no grain and is notably soft, Basswood is particularly popular with beginner carvers. It is used in many lower-cost instruments like guitars and electric basses.[14] Aspen is similarly soft, although slightly harder, and readily available and inexpensive.[14] Butternut has a deeper hue than Basswood and Aspen and has a nice grain that is easy to carve, and thus friendly for beginners. It's also suitable for furniture.[14] While more expensive that Basswood, Aspen, and Butternut, Black Walnut is a popular choice for its rich color and grain.[14] Lastly, Oak is a strong, sturdy, and versatile wood for carving with a defined grain. It's also a popular wood for furniture making.[14]
Often times at first glance a board looks straight and the fact that it is actually bowed or has some warping isn't always obvious. So the trick to knowing for sure, is to hold the board up towards your face, with the other end on the ground, and look at it at a downward angle (as shown in the below photo). This method will allow you to see if it is bowing at all.
Another important factor to be considered is the durability of the wood, especially in regards to moisture. If the finished project will be exposed to moisture (e.g. outdoor projects) or high humidity or condensation (e.g. in kitchens or bathrooms), then the wood needs to be especially durable in order to prevent rot. Because of their oily qualities, many tropical hardwoods such as teak and mahogany are popular for such applications.[9]

You can also make one for elders and put it in your garden or terrace or anywhere in the house. Elders can use it to relax and kids can use it to play or sleep. Although this is a really beautiful piece of woodwork, it is not that easy to make. Only someone with good woodworking skill can think of making this swing set. Also, I couldn't find a good tutorial that illustrates the process of building a wooden boat-shaped swing set. Most Probably, I will write one when I build mine.But if you really want this swing set like right now, I would suggest you hire a good woodworker, who can build something similar. Or just search the internet and maybe you get lucky enough to find a tutorial for this. Good luck either way.
Hard to determine which stain you need in that bespattered collection of cans? An easy-to-make "stain index," courtesy of reader Bob Jacek, solves the problem. Section off boards of your favorite woods into squares with masking tape, and apply the different stains across the width of each wood type (pine, oak, birch, etc.). When the stains are dry, brush on lengthwise your regular finishes—polyurethane, water-based polyurethane, oil, orange shellac, etc. You'll be able to tell how each stain looks with each finish. Label each one. Use both sides of each board, and you'll have a wooden encyclopedia of stain and finish combinations. Plus: How to stain wood evenly.
Simply soak a washcloth in water and ring it out a bit so it's not sopping wet. Put the damp washcloth on the affected area. The water will wick through the wood, and that's fine. Now, with your iron on its highest setting, place it on the damp washcloth over the affected area, and make small movements back and forth and in circles. Press down firmly and continue until your wash cloth is dry. It won't take long to evaporate. At this point, the wood fibers are absorbing the water and should expand back to where they were originally. Continue this process and repeat by adding more water until the dents rise up to be flush with the rest of the material.
Nightstand table plans have everything you need to create a bedside table to keep every needy thing at reach at night time. This Nigh Stand plan is quite different in design from the most of the other plans. This stand has not only the three regular drawers but also having a hidden drawer that uses a secret locking mechanism to keep contents securely.
When it comes to woodworking for beginners, I think it's important to just learn how to use a few of the most essential woodworking tools for beginners. There are so many awesome tools available on the market today, it can be quite overwhelming as well as expensive to try to buy them all and know how to use them. Once you learn the basics of the most essential tools you will be able to start building in no time and feel comfortable learning any other new tools in the future.

Second, learning how to read lumber dimensions, like knowing what 1×2 or 2×12 actually means, is really important. Understanding softwood lumber dimensions will help you to read woodworking build plans, shop for lumber, and understand the general measurements for your projects. I've provided a simple explanation to lumber sizes along with a free lumber size chart printable here!
Here's an easier way to stain or seal chairs, lattice or anything with numerous tight recesses. Pour the stain into a clean, empty spray bottle ($3). Spray the stain onto the project and wipe up the excess with a brush or rag. The sprayer will squirt stain into all those tight, hard-to-reach cracks and joints. — Valrie Schuster. Learn more about staining wood.

Begin by cutting off a 10-in. length of the board and setting it aside. Rip the remaining 38-in. board to 6 in. wide and cut five evenly spaced saw kerfs 5/8 in. deep along one face. Crosscut the slotted board into four 9-in. pieces and glue them into a block, being careful not to slop glue into the saw kerfs (you can clean them out with a knife before the glue dries). Saw a 15-degree angle on one end and screw the plywood piece under the angled end of the block.
Often times at first glance a board looks straight and the fact that it is actually bowed or has some warping isn't always obvious. So the trick to knowing for sure, is to hold the board up towards your face, with the other end on the ground, and look at it at a downward angle (as shown in the below photo). This method will allow you to see if it is bowing at all.
Cut the 6-1/2-in. x 3-in. lid from the leftover board, and slice the remaining piece into 1/4-in.-thick pieces for the sides and end of the box. Glue them around the plywood floor. Cut a rabbet on three sides of the lid so it fits snugly on the box and drill a 5/8-in. hole for a finger pull. Then just add a finish and you've got a beautiful, useful gift. If you don't have time to make a gift this year, consider offering to do something for the person. You could offer to sharpen their knives! Here's how.

Keep in mind, there are no perfect boards, but try to always use the straighter boards and avoid warping boards. Also, Brandon and I have found that when it comes to picking out lumber at Home Depot and Lowes, they tend to stock up on fresh boards a few days before the weekend starts (so Thursday/Friday). And then, on Sundays and Mondays, the boards are usually really picked over and there isn't a good selection. Just another tip to keep in mind!
A small oak table is a very useful wooden item for every household. You can yourself make a nice, strong and beautiful oak table suitable for any purpose. See the image below. As you can see, it is a small, yet good enough table to be used as a coffee table, lamp stand, breakfast table, etc. You can also find many other design variants on the internet. Choose the one you want for yourself and start making it now.

American Home Shield / plumbing
Last week I called American Home Shield because of a plumbing stoppage. A plumber was sent out and his diagnosis stated that there was a rubber piece in the main drain overflow pipe. The plumber could not remove the rubber piece and temporarily fixed the situation by propping the rubber piece with a skinny pipe and leaving the overflow pipe open.
This obviously did not fix the problem permanently. Then I was told by a followup phone call from AHS that AHS could not assist me any further until I removed the "foreign object" from the drain. However, the object in the drain is not a foreign object; it is part of the drain. It is the lid to the pipe that it fell into. On a Saturday my plumbing backed up again. I called AHS and was told that I had to talk to the Authorizations department which was only open Mon-Fri to argue the denial of service. Obviously, I cannot wait until Monday to argue the definition of "foreign object." I've called a plumber from the phone book to get it fixed.
It's a good thing that AHS was free and included in my mortgage for the first year; I only got duped out of a $60 service fee for the initial plumber. To fix the problem permanently, I was only charged $164 total. Even if AHS hadn't tried to weasel their way out of covering my problem, they would have only saved me $104.
I'll have my brother (a lawyer) threaten to sue on Monday for reimbursement from AHS. I'm in the military, working 65 hours a week and I don't have time to deal with crap like this.

1 leek finely sliced
½ a brown onion diced
Knob of butter
Olive oil
Pinch sea salt and pepper
300g risotto rice (I used arborio but have read that carnaroli is better)
4 cups of vegetable stock
½ cup white wine
Handful or so of freshly grated cheese (I used a mix of the fantastic Tom from Bruny Island Cheese Co and parmesan)
Another knob of butter
½ cup of fresh shelled peas (or frozen if you can't get them)
Bunch of asparagus chopped into approximately 2cm lengths
2 slices of lightly pan cooked ham chopped for garnishing (I used some lovely Rare Foods smoked ham)
1 cup fresh shelled peas (again frozen is fine)
Knob of butter
Sea salt and pepper
1-2 shallots finely chopped
1-2 tablespoons of vegetable stock
Clove of garlic crushed
To make the risotto, place your stock in pan on low heat and place a larger pan on medium-high heat with a lug of olive oil and knob of butter. Add the leek and onion, salt and pepper and cook until translucent. Add the rice and stir through cooking for a minute or so, then add the white wine. Allow this to cook down before adding a ladle full of stock and again cooking down. Continue this process until the rice is cooked through. I have found that you don't need to continuously stir it just keep and eye on it and make sure it's not catching on the bottom.
While the risotto is cooking make the pea puree. In a small pan melt some butter, add the shallots and garlic and cook until translucent add the peas and cook for a few minutes, then add some stock and salt and pepper and heat until peas are cooked but still holding their shape. Put the pea mix into a blender and puree until smooth but still with some pea texture.
With the risotto rice cooked turn the heat to low and add in the fresh peas and asparagus pieces and stir though along with another knob of butter and the cheese. Once the peas and asparagus are sufficiently cooked spoon in the pea puree and stir through. Garnish with the lightly pan cooked ham and some parsley, and maybe a little more cheese.

BOSTON — It is hard to pinpoint exactly where the Yankees lost it all against Boston on Thursday night — getting off the team bus, perhaps — but, sifting through the offensive avalanche led by Steve Pearce's three home runs, the fourth inning would be a good place to start.
The Yankees had not completely unraveled by then, their 15-7 defeat to the Red Sox far from sealed. In fact, they were holding a two-run lead when reliever Jonathan Holder — on because starter C.C. Sabathia had wilted in the 87-degree heat — gloved Andrew Benintendi's one-hop smash with runners at second and third.
As he did, Jackie Bradley Jr., who had broken for home, screeched to a halt.
But what appeared to be a gift to the Yankees — an opportunity to short-circuit a rally — instead hastened their demise. Holder threw to third baseman Miguel Andujar, whose leisurely, off-kilter throw home gave Bradley just enough time to deftly slide around the tag of catcher Austin Romine.
Pearce followed by clubbing a three-run homer, and the Red Sox never looked back, using an eight-run fourth inning to put an emphatic stamp on the start of a four-game series that could weigh heavily on the American League East race.
"Something like this is a little tough to forget about, but one loss is one loss," Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner said. "It doesn't matter if it's 5-4 or 2-1 or 20-3. It's a tough game."
The defeat dropped the Yankees six and a half games behind the Red Sox, their largest gap since April 21, and vividly exposed the Bronx club's problems at the moment.
If the Yankees had mostly gotten away with some sloppy play against baseball's worst teams — the Mets, the Baltimore Orioles and the Kansas City Royals — since the All-Star break, they were exposed as amateurish against the Red Sox.
"This is a long, arduous season," Manager Aaron Boone said. "You're going to hit these bumps in the road where it's difficult."
The Red Sox not only pummeled the Yankees with 19 hits (more than half of them for extra bases) they ran with impunity, stealing four bases against Sabathia and Holder — once without Holder even delivering a pitch.
And while Red Sox second baseman Ian Kinsler stole two hits from the Yankees with superb defensive plays, the Yankees could not even complete the most rudimentary plays. Sabathia, after retrieving Blake Swihart's comebacker that bounced off him in the third inning, lofted his throw over first baseman Greg Bird. And Bird was later left to eat a grounder when the recently acquired reliever Zach Britton was late covering first base.
Second baseman Gleyber Torres, who was counseled after failing to cover first base in Wednesday's loss to the Orioles, took his time leaving the batter's box on a hard grounder up the middle only to have Kinsler backhand the ball and make a terrific throw to get the out.
"It's frustrating," Boone said. "We have to do a better job playing a cleaner brand of baseball. Especially when things are hard and you're up against a real good opponent, we've got to play clean."
The most fight the Yankees displayed was their incessant barking toward home plate umpire Dan Bellino over his strike zone. But even that ceased in the final innings as the lopsided result was cemented.
The Yankees will turn to ace Luis Severino to steady themselves on Friday night, but the way he has pitched over the last month, that is not the comfort it once was.
And beyond that, with Sonny Gray being sent to the bullpen earlier Thursday and J.A. Happ being sent to the disabled list, the Yankees have another matter to confront: who will pitch on Saturday against the former Yankee Nathan Eovaldi? Lance Lynn, who will replace Gray in the rotation, threw four and one-third innings on Wednesday and will pitch Monday in Chicago against the White Sox. Luis Cessa, who was recalled Thursday, mopped up with three and two-thirds innings and is headed back to Class AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
There is a possibility that Chance Adams, a right-hander with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, will be called up for his major league debut.
"We're starting to have those conversations now in earnest," Boone said, while acknowledging it would not be anyone currently on the staff.
The game began as if the Yankees had scripted it. Brock Holt, who stepped in at shortstop in place of Xander Bogaerts, who was nursing a sore hand, booted an Aaron Hicks grounder. Giancarlo Stanton followed by rifling the next pitch to center field for a single. And Didi Gregorius hit a two-run homer into the bullpen in right field, his first of two home runs.
Just like that, the Yankees had staked themselves to a 3-0 lead.
And they handed that off to Sabathia, having configured their rotation after the All-Star break so he could start the opener of this series. And though he gave up only two runs through three innings, he had thrown 77 pitches and left six runners on base.
And like a lot of Yankees on Thursday night, it was a performance that was lacking.

What's going on, Geminis? You're feeling sad about love.
Stars especially point out to single Geminis, who think they're invisible and they're not even looking for love.
You feel scared, admit it. Most of all because you like someone but you don't want to jump in to avoid breaking a beautiful friendship.
But, if you were honest, you'd know you're not that close; you just know each other and talk about nothing, but you don't even know their hobbies or what their family's like.
Why don't you put your fears away, or even better, throw them into the bin and choose to do something as daring as living your own life without explaining yourself?
Everyone, including you, will be surprised about your choice to save money and not waste it today. Good! The only problem is that this doesn't happen often, right?
These two virtues will be very useful, because there's some shortage coming up at work, and you'll have to follow a tighter budget.
You've heard that your section and your company are going through a rough time, very different to the abundant times from past years.
Don't get too overwhelmed, because this rut will go away, although you might experience a time where you'll have to teach yourself how to use money (and time).
Your health won't be too bad today, not the physical nor mental one; maybe you might feel some stress at work which will soon fade away without you having to do anything about it.
Still, you do need to watch what you eat to prevent any problems from coming.
How long has it been since you last ate steamed foods? Much longer than fried, super-processed food, right?
Take some care of yourself, and include generous servings of large-leaf greens, which will help your bowel movements with their fiber, and they will even be beneficial to your teeth, where they will act as a natural cleansing agent.

Raspberry Pi of Death Blog
By N. Leveck
On RPoD Phlog
So, my phlog was looking a bit messy. I was using slerm (awesome bit of software), but not using it well. The ability to put a blurb "above the fold" is baked in, but I never remembered to use it. After surfing phlogs for a bit, I realized I like the clean look of a file listing. I also wanted to display the titles.
So I wrote a one line hack called pdd using ls, awk, and head to produce a reverse chronilogically sorted phlog file listing complete with titles in gophermap format. https://leveck.us/gopher/?url=gopher://sdf.org/1/users/jynx, https://leveck.us/gopher/?url=gopher://sdf.org/1/users/jynx/phlog, and https://leveck.us/gopher/?url=gopher://sdf.org/1/users/jynx/cgi-bin/slerm.cgi all now point to the pdd output. This is due to SDF, Bongusta, and RPoD's own gophermap each pointing to a different location for the phlog. So, all links are preserved. Links to my previous slerm based postings will degrade into displaying the complete listing, but at least it won't be a selector not found error.---

BEIJING -- Two weeks before talks between the United States and China broke down, Beijing quietly called one of its most formidable trade negotiators out of a pre-retirement posting.
The negotiator, Yu Jianhua, a 28-year veteran of trade talks with U.S. officials and at the World Trade Organization, returned to Beijing in mid-April from his position as China's ambassador to the United Nations' offices in Geneva. With his appointment, the Chinese government began to address an experience gap as it tries to resolve a potentially devastating trade war with President Donald Trump's administration.
U.S. officials walked away from the talks after their Chinese counterparts deleted page after page of provisions from a draft pact. The approval for such an assertive move almost certainly would have come directly from President Xi Jinping, China's top leader.
The appointment of Yu signals the apparent recognition by China's leaders of a need for experience they can trust.
"He is one of the most savvy Chinese trade officials that the U.S. has dealt with," said James Green, who was the top trade official at the U.S. Embassy in Beijing until August. "Recalling him from Geneva after only a year shows the lack of senior trade people in Beijing with whom the leadership feels comfortable."
Settling the trade war is an arduous task but a high priority for China. Beijing's leaders also fear a weak appearance to a Chinese public that has long been told the Communist Party had delivered them from decades of concessions to foreign powers.
The experience imbalance between the U.S. and Chinese negotiating teams so far has been one of many obstacles to reaching a deal. The Chinese side has been heavy on financial-policy experts and economists, while the U.S. team has been dominated by trade lawyers. The U.S. trade representative, Robert Lighthizer, has been working on trade issues inside and outside government since the 1970s.
Xi asked Liu He, China's vice premier, to oversee the country's side of the trade talks in February 2018. Liu, who leads the Communist Party's powerful economic and financial affairs commission, had just assembled a team of young, Western-educated, English-speaking banking experts and economists, with the goal of bringing China's spiraling debt problem under control.
The team quickly pivoted. Instead of spending most of its time on trying to rein in China's shadow banking sector and other financial speculation, its members began poring over past trade agreements related to intellectual property, cybersecurity and other issues.
The rise of Liu's team had partly marginalized China's Commerce Ministry until the past few weeks, people with detailed knowledge of Chinese policymaking said. They all insisted on anonymity because of political sensitivities about how the Chinese government operates.
The ministry, which has traditionally led the government's trade relations, has a large bureaucracy for researching and negotiating such issues. It has become more visible in the dispute with the United States in the past few weeks.
Zhong Shan, the commerce minister, holds the title of China's chief international trade negotiator, but he has less experience in international trade talks than Yu. Zhong is a former leader of two state-owned garment companies in Zhejiang, the province that is Xi's political base, and his career has tracked Xi's through a series of appointments.
Wang Shouwen, a linguist who rose through the ministry's translation service, remains the vice minister of commerce for North American affairs after Yu's return from Geneva.
But Yu, as first vice minister of commerce, outranks Wang and now has broader responsibilities within the ministry, although Wang continues to be the ministry's main representative on the Chinese negotiating team responsible for face-to-face discussions with U.S. officials.

Vaginal Douching: Harmful or healthy?
Has anyone recommended cleansing your vagina by spraying water and vinegar? Here's what the experts have to say on the practice of vaginal douching
As you walk down the aisle of tampons and sanitary napkin at the nearest drugstore, you might come across a section of 'feminine cleansing products and treatments.' You may have heard about most, but there is a likely chance your doctor will advice you against them, especially vaginal douching.
What is vaginal douching?
Vaginal douching is the practice of spraying a solution of vinegar and water upwards into the vagina using a bottle, bag or douching syringe. The objective is for the solution to reach the parts inside you that usually only your IUD can reach. Prepackaged douching solutions that contain baking soda and iodine are available as well.
Advantages of vaginal douching
Even though doctors advice against using vaginal douching and there are no studies to prove it, many women swear by it.
Reet Wahi (name changed), 24, a Bangalore-based lawyer, says, "I heard about this technique two years back and I have using it once a week with vinegar. It has been a good exercise since I have a tendency to sweat."
A recent study conducted in the US, states the following benefits of vaginal douching:
- Induces a feeling of freshness and cleanliness
- Helps to rid off unpleasant odours from discharge and menstrual blood
- Helps to avoid contraction of sexually-transmitted diseases
- Effective birth control solution
- Reduces itchiness and swelling
- Cleanses the vagina thoroughly
Continue reading to find out why doctors and health professionals discourage vaginal douching
Disadvantages of vaginal douching
Don't start running to the drug store to start your douche-stravaganza yet, ladies. Medical professionals seem to be in agreement over one thing: douching is not recommended.
Dr Malpani, MD, Malpani Infertility Clinic, Mumbai, says, "Many women feel that douching is a good thing, but when you are on a baby-making run, it's a terrible idea to use douches as they alter the pH-level of your vagina and impair fertility. It's the same with personal lubricants. Studies have proved that they lower sperm count and impact sperm motility too."
According to studies, spraying anything inside your vagina on your own without a doctor's advice is harmful. Take a look at what they say is in store for women who use this method for cleaning their genitalia:
- Your vagina can get infected: The risk for Bacterial Vaginosis or BV goes up five times more with women who douche once a week.
- Your whole female reproductive system can get infected: Douching can push the bacteria found in your vagina up to your cervix, uterus and ovaries, resulting in Pelvic Inflammatory Disease.
- You can have pregnancy problems: Whether you start off as pregnant or get pregnant while douching regularly, you can be at higher risk for ectopic pregnancy and preterm birth.
- Your risk for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) increase: Depending on circumstances, you may contract STDs and even the dreaded HIV when you douche. Your vagina may be stripped of its natural defenses against bacteria, infections and viruses.
- Your vagina can get lacerated and chafed: Douching can cause dryness and irritation that can lead to your tender flesh getting abraded, red and even cut regularly.
- You may find it difficult to get pregnant: Douching upsets the natural condition of your vagina, making it even more difficult to conceive.
- You can be more susceptible to cervical cancer: Some studies have shown that douching can lead to higher risk of contracting cervical cancer.
Doctors also say that douching does not solve the following reproductive health problems:
- Thick, white, yellow or greenish discharge
- Vaginal itching and swelling
- Pain when urinating
- Pain during sex
- Pregnancy
- STDs
- Vaginal irritation and swelling
Medical science also says that the vagina is a self-cleaning orifice. Unless you have certain diseases or illnesses concerning your reproductive system, you don't have to clean your vagina beyond warm water and very mild soap.
Continue reading to know the best ways to clean the vagina
So what is the best way to clean the vagina?
Most experts would advise you that it is always best to let your vagina clean itself naturally. The vagina creates a mucous that washes away discharge, blood and even semen.
If you are worried about the vaginal odour then you must know that all healthy and clean vaginas have odour. Another way to let it naturally clean itself is to indulge in physical activity.
Keep your vagina clean and healthy by:
- Wash the periphery of the vagina with warm water while you bathe. You can use mild soaps if you have sensitive skin or any vaginal infections. But remember to consult with your OB-GYN about these mild soaps because even they can sometimes cause dryness and irritation.
- Avoid getting lured by the prospects of scented tampons or sanitary napkins, powders and sprays. You can develop vaginal infection with such products.
So why do women douche?
Depending on whom you ask, women have different reasons for douching. The practice is most prevalent in the United States where African-American and Hispanic women say they do it because their mothers taught them.
Caucasian women, on the other hand, usually douche because of television advertisements.
If you still feel strongly about vaginal douching and want to know more, we urge you to consult your OB Gynecologist about how this practice can affect you as a healthy, reproductive female.

Iran's new communications minister said Tuesday that negotiations were underway with Twitter to unblock the service, which has been banned for years despite being used even by the country's supreme leader.The 36-year-old Jahromi became Iran's youngest-ever minister this week, and the first to be born after the 1979 Islamic revolution.Jahromi is also seen as a critic of online censorship in Iran, where platforms like Facebook, YouTube and Twitter remain banned even if millions use them daily through easily available privacy software.There was no immediate response from Twitter or YouTube.Despite the ban, Twitter is widely used by supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has official accounts in several languages, as well as President Hassan Rouhani and Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif.

Coquitlam is an attractive urban community in Metro Vancouver with beautiful parks, interesting festivals, shopping centres and nature.
City of Coquitlam
With a population of about 125,000, Coquitlam is the sixth largest municipality in Metro Vancouver and is often referred to as one of the "Tri-Cities", along with the neighbouring suburbs of Port Coquitlam and Port Moody.
Places of interest in Coquitlam include the Vancouver Hard Rock Casino (for gambling and live entertainment), IKEA (the giant Swedish housewares big-box store), Westwood Plateau (one of the Lower Mainland's top golf courses) and Mackin House (a historic home built in the early 1900s).
Coquitlam Festivals
Coquitlam is home to the annual Festival du Bois – BC's largest francophone festival, which takes place each year in the spring. In early summer there is also the Coquitlam Food Truck Festival at Town Centre Park.
In mid-June, on the Father's Day Weekend, Coquitlam's Town Centre Park is where the BC Highland Games & Scottish Festival takes place.
In the summer the July 1st Canada Day celebrations in Coquitlam are impressive with family-friendly activities and free concerts. Also, there's the Kaleidoscope Arts Festival at Town Centre Park in mid-August.
The Coquitlam Craft Beer Festival is a semi-annual event featuring over 40 breweries at the Westwood Plateau Golf & Country Club in both March and November. It's run by the same organization that puts on the TriCity International Wine Festival at the same venue in November too.
From late November until mid-January each year the city is also home to Lights at Lafarge which features over 100,000 Christmas lights around Lafarge Lake just a few blocks from Coquitlam City Hall.
Coquitlam Farmers Market
Coquitlam's Poirier Street Farmers Market takes place on Sundays from 9 am to 1 pm from mid-May until late October at 624 Poirier Street and is worth checking out if you're in the area and looking for some farm fresh produce.
Farmers markets are always interesting and a great way to support local farmers, and the Coquitlam market is one of the Lower Mainland's larger ones with usually at least 65 or so vendors.
Tri-Cities Parks
There is some beautiful countryside in the Tri-Cities area, including Belcarra Regional Park near Port Moody, and stunningly beautiful Sasamat Lake and Buntzen Lake. If you're in the area, these are some of the Lower Mainland's most beautiful places and well worth a visit on a sunny day almost any time of the year. Also in Coquitlam is Minnekhada Regional Park.
The largest park in Coquitlam is Mundy Park which is about 175 hectares in size. It's an exceptional forested park with extensive gravel trails that are perfect for cycling and walking around. At the park there is also Mundy Lake, which you can easily walk around, and both dog and dog-free areas.

The heronry was busy and noisy this morning. As far as I could tell all 18 nests are claimed.
Well I've cleared a 20 metre long by 2-3 metre wide section of the Central Drainage Ditch to a depth of 600mm, with sloping sides, which will serve as Pool 2. What I like about this open ditch section is its lack of sharp and straight bank edges, and the natural appearance. My aim is to split the 450 metre long Central Drainage Ditch into manageable sections for ease of manual maintenance,… Read More
Too much rotting organic matter, such as leaves and other dead vegetation, resting on the pond bottom reduces water oxygen levels and is detrimental to pond wildlife. The steep bank on the left contributes to the pond high nutrient levels, too. However, some dead organic matter is useful as a substrate for plants and invertebrates. The best time to rake out a pond is autumn, before wildlife and minibeasts go into hibernation… Read More
After a four-week rest, courtesy of Australian flu, I started clearing the Great Crested Newt Pond today, at the northern end of the Swamp. At the beginning of 2017, a small copse surrounding the GCN pond was removed. The water in the pond is now too nutrient-rich, so the time has come to remove the rotting vegetation and some of the bull rushes clogging this narrow strip of standing water.

(Host) Groups that provide shelter for the homeless say they expect to be near capacity over the holiday season. The shelters also say the people using their services don't fit the old stereotypes of the homeless.
VPR's Steve Zind reports.
"This is our room, for the four of us."
(Zind) Bruce Giannuzzi, his wife and their two children have been living in a small room at a house owned by COTS, the Committee on Temporary Shelter, in Burlington. The children's bunk beds are pushed into one corner. There's another bed along the opposite wall. On the floor there's a small artificial Christmas tree.
Giannuzzi says not long ago he was a Burlington homeowner. He worked for Xerox Corporation for 14 years. Then he was laid off. He worked briefly after than until he was sidelined by a back injury. That's when the bills began piling up. Giannuzzi's wife's salary as a teacher's aide couldn't support the family and before long they lost their home and their car.
(Giannuzzi) "No, I never imagined I'd be in this kind of situation. Never."
(Zind) Giannuzzi is receiving social security disability now and the family is looking for a place to rent.
COTS Executive Director Rita Markley Giannuzzi's story isn't unusual. She says for many families wages aren't keeping up with expenses. More part-time work with fewer benefits, a tight housing market and cuts in federal housing subsidies are all reasons why COTS is serving a growing number of working families. Markley says the face of homelessness is changing.
(Markley) "All the different professions of our community life you can find at an emergency shelter now, and that's very different from the way the world was 15 years ago."
(Zind) For the first time in at least a decade COTS finished the last fiscal year with a deficit. Federal cuts in the organization's funding have forced program cutbacks. Markley says COTS isn't turning anyone away, but it's taking more resourcefulness and community support to meet demand.
In Rutland, the City Rescue Mission doesn't serve families. But it's also seeing a change in the type of person who is homeless: there's been an influx of Vietnam veterans.
(Russell) "Absolutely! I would say 50 percent of my shelter is dealing with veterans."
(Zind) Sharon Russell is executive director of the mission. Russell says many of the homeless veterans have worked and raised families. Now they're older.
(Russell) "All of a sudden that busy stuff that took up their time is gone away and those memories come back."
(Zind) Russell says the Rutland Rescue Mission has never accepted federal money. She says there are too many strings attached. Instead the mission relies on donations and gifts from local individual and businesses.
For Vermont Public Radio, I'm Steve Zind.

Moving your house or business can be an extremely stressful task that almost everyone will have to go through at least once in their lives. It can often be hard to juggle packing and moving your belongings with work duties, family and all other aspects of your day-to-day life.
Deciding whether to hire a removalist company can be a stressful decision at first, but fortunately, that's where it ends; hiring a company to help with the entire moving process is a fantastic way to reduce the stress and impact on your own life during a moving process. No more worrying about lifting or damaging heavy objects, or loading hire-trailers or trucks, when you have a team of professionals to help get the job done.
To find out more about local and interstate removalist options, speak to The Removals Group at the 2019 Gold Coast Expo, Site P327.

Vintage Insatiable: How We Ate
When I started eating professionally in 1968, many affluent New Yorkers preferred canned peas.
As George Eliot observed while waiting for dessert: "It is hard to live up to our own eloquence and keep pace with winged words, while we are treading the solid earth and are liable to heavy dining." That has inspired me to look back to the beginning…to the days before New Yorkers fell in love with food. Foodies were few (and not yet identified in the Oxford Dictionary), and we lived in a town where even the affluent liked their lamb chops well done and their peas from cans.
Papa Soulé Loves You
Henri Soulé was intimidating until I discovered that he loved publicity and tripes.
June 13, 1965. La Côte Basque Countdown: cinq, quatre, trois, deux…What a mess! In quenelles-de-brochet-eating circles, it was like the return to the concert stage of Vladimir Horowitz. Henri Soulé was making his historic comeback to La Côte Basque.
Showman, snob, perfectionist, martinet, con man, wooer and wooed master of haute cuisine, Henri Soulé, "greatest living restaurateur," recently reopened a kind of defrilled, discount annex to Le Pavillon, rated by most serious eaters as "the best French restaurant in America" and, by a hyperbolic few, "the only French restaurant in America."
La Côte Basque was Soulé's creation. It was his personal charity drive, a contribution to illicit romance. Or as he said: "La Côte Basque is Le Pavillon pour les pauvres, my Pavillon for the poor." And, "The Pavillon is elegant. The Côte Basque is amusing. Some people may find it quite convenient that Henri Soulé has two restaurants in Manhattan. A man may take his wife to Côte Basque and the other lady to Pavillon."
Pierre Franey came to America to work under Soulé at the French Pavillon in the 1939 World's Fair.
From the moment it opened in 1958, La Côte Basque had been a spectacular success. Then, in a 1962 huff over what he called "insubordination by the waiters," Soulé locked the door. When the new owners of another legendary French restaurant, Chambord, offered to buy, Soulé was ready.
It thus became Le Café Chambord at La Côte Basque, an uneasy merger, doomed to an inelegant demise last July [1964] with unseemly talk of bankruptcy: left to rust, tarnish and mold.
At the age of 62, would Papa Soulé resume his schizophrenic gastronomic burden?
The gauntlet stings. It is a challenge. And after all there is a small matter of $260,000. Soulé sold La Côte Basque for that amount, "and most of the debt is still outstanding." It is also a question of public service. All those jaded palates. New hope. A lift. A crack in the ennui of the middle-aged ladies with youth-frozen faces for whose ills there is no annual March of Dimes. Les girls. Les starving pauvres.

Paley's Preserve: The Ground Floor
Here's William Paley at his most dashing, emerging from La Côte Basque.
November 11, 1968. The CBS Building is brown is beautiful is a sober monument to taste in the Manhattan grid of chrome, compromise and architecture by committee. Eero Saarinen drew it, but the details became a family affair. CBS president Frank Stanton and board chairman William Paley fussed over glass tints and elevator buttons. When it came to the family kitchen, it was clear from the start, one could not install a Chock Full o'Nuts in the nave of the cathedral.
Thus The Ground Floor is, above all, appropriately grand. It is slick, rich, calculated, spare, intimidating. It is Contemporary Wasp. You would hate to break open a roll for fear it would scatter unprogrammed crumbs. It is understatedly snob. There is no Bronx phone directory. Manhattan, of course, Brooklyn, yes. Even Queens. But no Bronx. You sense this slight to the Bronx is no accident.
Black Rock, the CBS headquarters, was Paley's answer to the Seagram Building.
Nothing here is accident. Armies of interior designers have measured, computed, engineered. Even the sugar bowl is part of the statement. Granite plays against rosewood. Naked globes like upside down brandy snifters set in steel honeycombs make up patterns on the tablecloth. The house flower could only be…a red carnation, masculine in its upright rosewood casket. Shiny black matchbooks wear stark portraits by Irving Penn of nuts and clams. All elements measured, designed, engineered…no detail too minor. The quarter-round molding that borders the powder room carpet is gold…but not just plain gold…Florentine gold. Some draftsman spent maybe weeks at the drawing board calculating that touch.
The Ground Floor is a perfect room to end an affair in. The tables are far enough apart to announce the break in a firm voice, and the ambiance is stern enough to discourage sloppy emotionalism. CLICK here to read more.
La Côte Basque: The Quintessential Soulé Food
I would blush with envy as I was marched to nowhere past Babe Paley on the royal banquette.
November 25, 1968. Henri Soulé was the headmaster of America's prep school in haute cuisine, fabled Le Pavillon. Two generations of expatriate Frenchmen -- captains, waiters and sauciers -- did advanced studies in arrogance, ambiance and aspic with the mercurial master, then went on to stud the side streets of Manhattan with Pavillon offshoots: La Caravelle, La Grenouille, Lafayette, Le Mistral, a dozen more. Only one descendent was directly blessed. That was La Côte Basque.
In circles where eating is an art, an obsession, a sublimation, a status game, Soulé was the recognized master. It was only after he died while in a rage of pride and stubbornness (the fatal union snarl) that another dimension was revealed: Henri Soulé the lover. A fat man with pasty face, owl eyes, unnatural grace, this romantic hero! Many had assumed and some had written that the ubiquitous Mme. Henriette silently toting l'addition at the Pavillon cashbox was Mme. Soulé. But non.
Now, from the darker shores of Bayonne came the wife who had refused to suffer la vie Manhattan. She came to claim her inheritance. Secretly bohemian in life, strictly bourgeois in death, this Henri. Le Pavillon went to the highest bidders. But sentiment was served with the purchase of Côte Basque by Henriette. "I wish to keep the name of Henri alive," she said.
Only she is permitted to invoke the magic of the Soulé name.
It is there, on the canopy. The Pavillon spirit is there too. Not merely in the cellar with its half share of the Soulé wine hoard. Not only in the food which can rise to Pavillon hautesse. It is in the air. Electricity. Drama. A tension, as if something special were about to happen, not just another dreary duck in orange sauce, but the original duck in the quintessential orange sauce.

The Mafia Guide to Dining Out
Paul Castellano put Sparks steakhouse on the Mafia map when he got shot at the curb after lunch.
April 7, 1969. The market is uneasy. Competition is fierce. The trust busters in blue are talking tough. Vito Genovese, chairman of the board of the oldest, richest, fattest, conglomerate of them all, is dead.
In tense times like these, the flow of corporate debate is primed by tranquilizing platters of Sicilian soul food: crusty rings of calamari, steaming bowls of zuppa di pesce, the purple splendor of a well-sauced eggplant.
The Carlo Giambino division had been eating up a storm at Villa Vivolo in Gravesend, Brooklyn...$40 a night, out of petty cash. Thomas (Tommy Ryan) Eboli, Vito's acting underboss, and elder statesman Michele (Mike) Miranda...and sometimes titular executive pro tem Gerardo (Jerry) Catena...have been brooding about the rites of executive succession over espresso in the grubby Napoli e Notte Cafe at 165 Thompson Street. Why the Napoli e Notte? There's nothing to eat but potato chips and pretzels. Nothing to look at but a very spiffy juke box, an unsmiling old lady in basic black, Pepe the poodle in bows of baby blue and a sign: "This is not a club. Don't hang around." Maybe the Genovese trustees are dieting. Tommy does have a bum heart. Mike has diabetes. And Jerry in the flesh is no Joe Namath.
Let these gourmandizing board meetings continue. What is good for the Mafia is good for gourmet country. The Mafia is widely advanced as "the Michelin Guide for Italian restaurants, and a three-star police raid is...a tribute to the excellence of the kitchen.
But is it? CLICK here to read more.
La Caravelle: Insult à La Carte
Jean Pagès colorful murals lined the walls at La Carvelle. Here, the Champs-Elysees Stamp Market.
May 19, 1969. Someday a gourmet anthropologist will do a thesis on the Manhattan culture's painful rites of passage. It will be called "Coming of Age on West 55th Street" or, "How the Ambitious Adolescent Attains Manhattan Manhood by Braving the Elegant Cruelty of Fashionable French Restaurant Snobisme."
Oh, sure, you can be a steakhouse snob and never starve. You can be king of the clan at your neighborhood chop-suey boite. You can swing your weight around among the potato latkes at Ratner's. But your tribal standing soars the day you can crack a genuine welcome in the great stone faces that guard the door of La Caravelle. A few are born to snobisme…sipping milk from Baccarat crystal at Le Pavillon during holidays from Choate…or teething on the flatware at "21."
The Montmartre Basilica by Pagès on the wall at La Caravelle in the days when I dared Siberia.
But to the rest of us -- expatriates from the provinces, escapees from Erasmus High and Gary, Indiana -- there is the exquisite torture, the terror of the unknown. Why do we endure it? Why do we pursue it? Why do we perform these daily exercises in masochism? Rejection must be some kind of basic human need. The French are masters of the fine art. And New Yorkers are the quintessential victims.
New York is a mecca for masochists. It is the Atlantis of our masochistic fantasies. How could we live anywhere else? We thrive on discomfort, frustration and scorn. Unpolluted air would shrivel our lungs…our muscles would atrophy if we did not have our daily leaps to avoid the doggy doo…our psyches would be scarred if a cabby opened a door or a waiter said, to an untitled stranger, "I don't recommend the plat du jour, Monsieur; the veal is somewhat dry."
Clammy with fear (and hope) of anticipated rejection, we phone La Caravelle to reserve a table. Preferably a day in advance. Or, aggressively, under a borrowed title: A table at one o'clock for the Princess Kiki de Guinzberg. Not that such tactics always work. Friends who phoned Thursday for Saturday lunch were sternly informed: "We don't know if we will have a table on Saturday." Click here to read more.

Coming up shorts for Caroline Herrera
Designer deems them fitting for her well-heeled customers; hope springs eternal for retailers
When shorts began appearing as dressy clothing on runways a year ago, it wasn't surprising that young people picked up on them. But Carolina Herrera has deemed them suitable for Park Avenue dames and the rest of her conspicuously well-heel customers.
Ms. Herrera sent dressy shorts down her runway Monday in a variety of cuts and fabrics -- from a trim minimalist design to cuffed and pocketed shorts of suiting fabrics like linen jacquard, with matching jackets....

Sorry, kitchen's closed (for 12 to 15 hours since you last ate). Nighttime fasting—or reducing your "eating window"—may help to reset your metabolism and burn the extra glucose in your system after a period of overindulgence, according to researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies. The scientists fed adult mice one of four diets—some high in sugar, some high in fat, some both. And each of the four diets contained the same number of calories. From there, mice in each diet group were then given set times to eat. Some could eat whenever they wanted, others were restricted to feeding times of 9, 12 or 15 hours a day. Regardless of what kind of diet they ate, and regardless of the fact that they ate the same number of calories, mice in the 9-hour and 12-hour groups remained healthy, while all of the mice in the 15-hour group became obese.
Shortly after I was born, my mother developed diabetes. It runs in our family; I lost an uncle to the disease, and I have other relatives who struggle with it. I remember the day I sat with her, after doctors had told her the limitations of Western medicine when it came to diabetes. I asked her about her time as a nurse in Korea, and what she knew of Eastern medicine. And the same word kept coming up time and again: Tea.

You probably already know that chamomile tea can help induce sleep (there's even a brand called Sleepy Time). But science is showing that teas actually work on a hormonal level to lower our agita and bring peace and slumber. Studies have found that herbal teas like valerian and hops contain compounds that can actually reduce levels of stress hormones in our bodies, bringing on sleep — and reducing the body's ability to store fat!
To reduce visceral fat and potentially increase lean muscle mass, add 30 minutes of moderate physical activity to your daily routine on most days of the week. Moderate exercise can include aerobic activity (such as walking) and strength training with weights. Combining a more balanced diet with a regular exercise routine can accelerate the loss of belly fat and improve other cardiometabolic risk factors. Adding more whole fruits and vegetables and minimizing sugar intake from processed foods are effective diet modifications for reducing dangerous fat around the organs. Additionally, quitting smoking, getting more than 5 hours of sleep per night, and managing mental stress have all been proven to reduce the accumulation of belly fat in men.
Oolong, a Chinese name for "black dragon," is a light, floral tea that, like green tea, is also packed with catechins, which help to promote weight loss by boosting your body's ability to metabolize lipids (fat). A study in the Chinese Journal of Integrative Medicine found that participants who regularly sipped oolong tea lost six pounds over the course of the six-week time period. That's a pound a week! It also has a calming effect. Drink a cup if you're a nervous flyer, or to calm yourself after a hard day's work—and if you're a particularly anxious person, sip these 4 Teas Better Than Therapy!
They serve a variety of functions that range from physiological to psychological. Mentally, these brews are awesome alternatives for snacks and meals. They fulfill the pleasurable reward principles without incurring any physical sacrifices. Similarly, anything that causes weight gain can be counteracted by adhering to the ritualistic consumption of detoxification water.

Organic apple cider vinegar is a tried natural remedy for losing weight. Almost all the diet specialists recommend apple cider vinegar ACV for remove extra fats from the body.
Belly fat has gotten a mostly deserved reputation as an unhealthy fat. "Understand that belly fat is both visceral and subcutaneous," says Kristen Gill Hairston, MD, MPH, an assistant professor of medicine at Wake Forest University School of Medicine, Winston-Salem, N.C. "We don't have a perfect way yet to determine which [of belly fat] is subcutaneous or visceral, except by CT scan, but that's not cost-effective."
At one time, we might have accepted these changes as an inevitable fact of aging. But we've now been put on notice that as our waistlines grow, so do our health risks. Abdominal, or visceral, fat is of particular concern because it's a key player in a variety of health problems — much more so than subcutaneous fat, the kind you can grasp with your hand. Visceral fat, on the other hand, lies out of reach, deep within the abdominal cavity, where it pads the spaces between our abdominal organs.
Prioritise lean protein like beef, turkey, eggs, fish, chicken, and tofu. In a study published in the International Journal of Obesity, participants were either assigned a 12 per cent or 25 per cent protein diet. While the first group lost 11 pounds on average, the high-protein participants shedded around 20 pounds and ditched twice as much belly fat as the low-protein subjects.
If you need to curb an out of control appetite, basil may be your new best friend. This helpful herb can stamp out the need to eat for pleasure. It simply tricks the belly into feeling full. The cucumber takes advantages of this faux fullness, and it uses the stasis to empty out all of the body's harmful chemical accumulations. This gentle green veggie allows water to be even more hydrating than it would be on its own. It has an obscure flavor, but the basil masks it with zesty fervor. Overall, this detox technique is trusted and time-tested.
Hello! I love your blog. But I must interject here. Detoxing while breastfeeding is NOT recommended! All of the toxins get filtered into the breast milk and can cause some issues for the baby! So wait until you are done or you can build up a supply of breast milk that the baby can eat during the detox. Again, as Krishna points out you should always consult your Doctor before starting this program!
Its Day 18 of the KetoFuel diet. Before I even got on the scale I noticed my pants were looser than usual. The scale said 142. I haven't weighed less than 145 ever since I got married. I've even got a couple compliments by co-workers and friends! At this point I know the diet works, but the 35 pound claims by people on amazon may be difficult to achieve. We'll see in the next few weeks.
5. Bloated Belly: Kate Patton, a registered dietitian at Cleveland Clinic, told Health.com that eating too many processed foods can be the reason why people are gaining belly fat instead of losing it. She said, "Refined grains like white bread, crackers, and chips, as well as refined sugars in sweetened drinks and desserts, increase inflammation in our bodies, belly fat is associated with inflammation, so eating too many processed foods will hinder your ability to lose belly fat." Patton suggests that people consume foods like vegetables, fruits, and whole grains because they are full of antioxidants and contain anti-inflammatory properties that can help prevent or remove belly fat.
You don't have to like cucumbers to fall madly in love with this unencumbered cucumber detox water. All of the rehydrating properties of this grand garden vegetable are masked under a guise of lively lemon and mystifying mint. These two inclusions add plenty of sweetness without resorting to the unnecessary contamination of artificial sugars. This refined beverage is typically reserved for classy spa environments, but it can be enjoyed anywhere on the move. For a full day of drinks, the recipe calls for 10 mint leaves, 1 wedged lemon and 1 sliced cucumber. Everything is collected within a sealed vial for chilled overnight storage.
In fact, liquid calories now make up a whopping 21 percent of our daily calorie intake—more than 400 calories every single day, more than twice as much as we drank 30 years ago. To give you a perspective on those numbers, imagine taking two slices of Pizza Hut Thin 'N Crispy Pepperoni Pizza, tossing them in a blender and hitting "puree," then drinking the whole thing down. That's 420 calories. Now imagine that the typical American has been doing this every single day for years.
Excess visceral fat is possibly more harmful because of its proximity to the portal vein, which carries blood from the intestinal area to the liver. Substances released by visceral fat, including free fatty acids, enter the portal vein and travel to the liver. In the liver, they help produce blood lipids, leading to an increase in metabolic disturbances and risk factors.4
