The quest to lead a more sustainable life starts with small changes. And whether you've decided to boycott single-use plastics, make sustainable fashion choices, or switch to vegan and cruelty-free beauty products, every little bit helps.
Tackling plastic pollution in our oceans may seem like a huge task for one person, but don't ever think your efforts are going to waste; "The power isn't just that you're not personally bringing any more plastic into the situation, it's that you're denying the company producing the plastic your money and demanding change", says Pixie Geldof.
And when it comes to change, it's big companies that will make the difference. This is exactly why Pixie has partnered with The Body Shop and their Community Trade recycled plastic initiative; where The Body Shop partnering win India with Plastics for Change, will buy recycled plastic collected by the waste pickers in Bengaluru and use in its packaging following a thorough cleaning process.
The trade will support 2,500 waste pickers, providing the organisation with a fair price for the waste material (other facilities tend to underpay), as well as reducing plastic waste in the streets, rivers and oceans.
Having recently visited the facilities in Bengaluru herself, here Pixie talks to GLAMOUR about her hands-on experience and how we can all continue to fight the good fight at home...
"Seeing first-hand the impact of single-use plastics was overwhelming"

Why consider a career in podiatric medicine?
· A Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (DPM) is a specialist in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of lower extremity disorders, diseases and injuries.
· DPMs can specialize in a variety of areas such as surgery, orthopedics, or public health. Besides these certified specialties, podiatrists may practice a subspecialty such as sports medicine, pediatrics, dermatology, radiology, geriatrics, or diabetic foot care.
· The DPM is a vital member of the health-care team. He or she is often the first to detect symptoms of diabetes or peripheral vascular disease because of the human foot's interrelation with the rest of the body.
· Thursday, November 16, 6-7:30 p.m., South Hall, Hope Presbyterian Church, 8500 Walnut Grove Road, Cordova, TN: The Dis-Ease of Codependency, Featuring Jeremy Rakes, MSW, CADC Counselor at the Family Program for Bradford Health Services.

The heart of the Côte de Nuits, the central jewel in the necklace of Burgundy climats, the epicenter of the Grands Crus, Vosne-Romanée is probably the most celebrated of all the villages of the Côte d'Or in Burgundy. There are 152 hectares of vines of which 57 hectares are Premier Crus. Not only are its six Grands Crus the most famous names in Burgundy, but the producers who are based in the village are amongst the world's finest.
"Bourgogne has produced nothing better than this little corner where all her charms come together" wrote Gaston Roupnel, a celebrated historian and writer. Here the Pinot Noir grape ripens to its best. Apart from the 14 Premier Crus, the parcels found in the village appellation lie either at the top of the slope or at its foot on either side of the Grand Crus and in some cases reach the same altitude. The soils are limestone mixed with clayey marls. The depth of soil depends upon where the parcels are located from some tens of centimeters at the top of the hill to one meter deep around the village. The exposure is easterly.
The typical characteristic of Vosne is ripe fruit over spices lifted by the presence of strawberry, raspberry, bilberry, or blackcurrant fruit. These refined and well-blended aromas evolve with age into aromas of preserved fruits, leather, cedar and gamey/woodland scents. On the palate the wine is velvety and distinguished. In their youth, Vosne wines can appear rather austere and closed; they need time in the bottle to develop structure and fleshy texture. These spicy, rich wines match well with roasted meats, especially beef and game and hard cheeses.
Items 1-9 of 10
- 2011 Domaine Jean GrivotLes Bossières Vosne-Romanée0.75l Red€61.60 €50.91This magnificent estate, which is ideally situated in the centre of Vosne Romanée, holds some very old vines producing very concentrated, pure wines. Despite the being of village level, the cuvee merits an exclusive bottling and label which mentions this special lieu-dit of which Etienne Grivot is so fond.
- 2013 Domaine Jean GrivotLes Bossières Vosne-Romanée0.75l Red€63.50 €52.48A lovely combination of power and energy here. A wine with very expressive fruity flavours, mixed with aromas of violet and roses. Very lively and attractive.
- 2014 Domaine Jean GrivotLes Bossières Vosne-Romanée0.75l Red€66.40 €54.88This village climat, lying just near the Grivot cellars produces wines that are more ambitious than the village appellation would lead you to believe. The 2014 is particularly fine with good fresh red fruit character in the nose, lots of energy and a fine vein of acidity running through the wine to a deeper, quite intense finish. A lovely wine with lots of charm to be enjoyed during the next five years.
- 2012 Domaine Jean GrivotLes Bossières Vosne-Romanée0.75l Red€66.76 €55.17Very expressive nose with tight and concentrated notes of vanilla and red fruits. On the palate the wine begins to open to reveal berried fruit, excellent tannins and well-integrated oak. A powerful wine, which tastes much grander than its village appellation.
- 2015 Domaine Jean GrivotLes Bossières Vosne-Romanée0.75l Red€73.00 €60.33Dit klimaat, gelegen nabij de wijnkelders van Grivot, produceert wijnen die ambitieuzer zijn dan zijn appellatie zou suggereren. De 2015 is, net als zijn broers, prachtig zijdeachtig en fris met tonen van kleine rode en zwarte bessen. In de mond is de wijn rond en genereus, wat het zonnige wijnjaar weerspiegelt. Zoet en heerlijk, deze charmante wijn is klaar om te drinken van 2020 tot 2025.
- 2014 Domaine Jean GrivotLes Beaux Monts Vosne-RomanéePremier Cru 0.75l Red€141.10 €116.61One of our favourite wines from the Grivot domain, this 1er cru is located in the northern part of the appellation near Echezeaux. There is lots of fruit on the nose with flavours of plums, blackberries and blueberries. On the palate the wine becomes altogether more serious with some good oak, fine integrated tannin and a touch of mineral spiciness. This is a wine to lay down in the cellar for at least another 5-6 years.
- 2013 Domaine Jean GrivotLes Beaux Monts Vosne-RomanéePremier Cru 0.75l Red€143.70 €118.76A fresh and expressive wine with lively notes of cherries and red fruit and in the background more serious, darker notes of tannin and good oak. Elegant and balanced, this wine impressed me when I tasted it out of barrels and I believe it has a good future ahead of it.
- 2012 Domaine Jean GrivotLes Beaux Monts Vosne-RomanéePremier Cru 0.75l Red€157.20 €129.92One of our favourite climats, with a rich and complex nose which leads to tasty, spicy, woody notes. On the palate, the wine is quite tightly structured for now with lots of fresh red fruit flavour and marked tannins. A great wine which will age very well.

He took that mission and expanded it into a business with like minded people who are passionate about providing a quality product. The Seattle Coffee Gear team is friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate. They even have an in-house repair center on the off chance that your machine has an issue.

Coffee Kids focuses on teaching young farmers entrepreneurial skills, providing them with seed capital, and mentoring them in order that they may have the tools they need to face the challenges of small production coffee farming.

The names of 39 Holocaust survivors were engraved into stones along the pathway surrounding the Rhode Island Holocaust Memorial this year, including two former longtime residents of Newport.
Morris and Sonja Cykert, both born in 1915, met after World War II in a Bergen-Belsen displaced persons camp in northern Germany, near the site of a Nazi concentration camp.
They were among the few who survived the horrors that claimed the lives of more than 6 million Jews.
Jack Cykert, a former Rogers High School teacher, and his wife, Christe Cykert, a current Rogers teacher, were present in late August when the engravings of Jack�s parents� names were unveiled in a ceremony for this latest addition to the Holocaust Memorial that was dedicated in 2015.
Morris Cykert, who was born in Lodz, Poland, was serving in the Polish Army in September 1939 when the Germans invaded Poland and took him and other soldiers prisoner.
�His fellow soldiers identified him as Jewish,� Jack Cykert said.
His father would spend the war years from October 1939 to the spring of 1945 in concentration camps, most of the time in the notorious Auschwitz extermination camp located in Poland.
�He was tough,� Cykert said. �I don�t know how he survived. We tried to pry things from both our parents. They didn�t want to talk about it.�
As the war was ending in early 1945, the Germans pulled back from Poland and took Cykert and other prisoners with them as part of their slave labor force.
�He was in good enough shape to work,� Jack said. �He was transported to Germany and was one of the slave workers on V-2 rockets. They did what they could to sabotage the rockets, losing a part here, not inserting a part there. That�s what he was doing when he was liberated.�
Sonja Cykert, who was born in Rostov, Russia, on the Black Sea near the Ukraine, was taken prisoner when the Germans invaded Russia.
When she and other prisoners were being herded from place to place, Cykert�s mother told her family that �they ran and they ran until their feet bled, and they had to eat grass to survive,� Cykert said.
The Germans did not know she was Jewish and she was eventually transported to Germany as the Germans withdrew from Russia.
After his parents met in Bergen-Belsen, they were moved to a home in Darmstadt, Germany, where Jack was born.
�People clung to each other there,� Cykert said. �They found each other by God�s grace and stuck together.�
But their goal was to leave Germany.
�They were not happy living there,� Cykert said. �Local inhabitants blamed the Jews for what happened.�
Morris Cykert could not find employment in Germany so he started working on the Black Market. He transported gold and other items in the gas tank of his motorcycle.
�One of my fondest photos is of him on that motorcycle from that time,� Cykert said.
Morris Cykert had a large extended family in Poland, three brothers and a sister. None of them survived the war, from as far as anyone from the Cykert family in the U.S. knows. The Cykerts in Poland had a business delivering coal to households and businesses before the war.
Jack Cykert has a photo of his father�s older brother, Samuel, and Samuel�s wife and their two sons and a daughter in Lodz. The date of the photo is unknown, but Samuel is wearing in the photo a yellow star, a requirement for Jews living in the Lodz ghetto in 1939. Records kept by the World Jewish Registry indicate one of the boys died of malnutrition.
�The photo came to my father from someone who survived the ghetto,� Jack said. �It is the only possession that survived from his whole family.�
Sonja Cykert�s parents died young and had no other children. She also has no known relatives besides her family in this country.
When Sonja Cykert�s children and grandchildren later tried to find other members of the extended family, or find out what happened to them, Sonja Cykert would ask, �Why are you doing this?�
�They wanted to forget the past,� Jack Cykert said. �They didn�t want us looking for anybody.�
From Darmstadt, the Cykerts applied for exit visas to go to either Israel or the United States, determined to go to whichever country came through first.
Edwin and Ida Josephson, owners of the former Narragansett Clothing Store, were their sponsors, a requirement for those waiting for visas to America.
�They sponsored my family, which was terrific,� Cykert said. �We came here in June of 1949. I was 6 months old.�
They were flown to T.F. Green Airport in Warwick and then driven to Newport.
His parents went evenings to learn English at Rogers High School, when it was located in what is now the Thompson Middle School building.
�I went with them as a child and would wander down to the gym to watch the men playing basketball,� Cykert said.
Cykert has a brother, Samuel, who was born in 1955 in Newport Hospital. Samuel Cykert became a doctor and practiced in North Carolina for years. He is now on the faculty of the University of North Carolina medical school.
Jack and his parents became U.S. citizens in 1955.
In Newport, Morris Cykert worked for the former Food Fair grocery store on Thames Street before the building was taken down to make way for America�s Cup Avenue. He then purchased a liquor license and ran the former Broadway Liquors at the corner of Marlborough Street.
�When the Navy pulled out, he got cold feet and sold the store,� Jack Cykert said.
He ended his career as a custodian at Aquidneck Middle School in Middletown.
His mother worked in the kitchen of the Hotel Viking for years and then baked in the kitchen at St. George�s School in Middletown at the end of her working career.
�They retired together in 1977,� Jack said.
They stayed in Newport until the mid-1980s, enjoying long walks especially to Fort Adams State Park.
�My parents always said, �This is the greatest country in the world.��
The German government indemnified Morris Cykert with initial payments of 50 Deutschmarks a month, less than $50. He later received cost-of-living increases.
�He had to present himself at the German consulate in New York as proof that he was still alive and eligible for the reparation payments,� Cykert said.
Morris and Sonja Cykert moved to Pembroke Pines, Florida, in 1985 to get some sun.
They had been living in Florida for about seven years in 1992 when Morris underwent a heart procedure and died.
Sonja Cykert returned to Newport the following year and lived at the John Clarke Apartments on Mary Street. She had her husband disinterred in Florida so that his remains could be transported back to Rhode Island for interment in Beth Olam Cemetery in Middletown.
Sonja died in 2007 in Greensboro, North Carolina, where her son, Samuel, lives. She was interred with her husband at Beth Olam Cemetery.
Before Sonja died, Jack Cykert�s daughter, Bethany, flew to North Carolina so that Sonja could see her great-grandson, one of five great-grandchildren the Cykert survivors would have.
�If it had been up to Hitler and Stalin, she would not have seen anybody,� Jack Cykert said.

Qi Baishi helped to transform traditional Chinese painting into a contemporary idiom by combining features borrowed from both folk art and the elite tradition of scholar-amateur, or literati, painting. He was born into a humble farming family and worked as a carpenter before becoming a painter. Qi was first recognized for his portraits, but ultimately became famous for landscapes and especially for close-up studies of flowers, insects, shrimp, and small animals.
By the time Qi reached his thirties, he was able to lease a house in Hunan Province with land to cultivate a lotus pond. Despite the rather bold, cursory style of this painting, its sensitive and realistic details reveal Qi's firsthand observation of lotus plants, one of his favorite subjects. Dark, mature seed pods and leaves that are beginning to fade and turn brown foretell the imminent arrival of autumn, but in cheerful contrast to this somber palette, a late summer blossom bends toward the water.
Qi Baishi dedicated this scroll to an unknown Mr. Jianfei. It is dated to 1939, two years after the beginning of the Japanese occupation of China. Since Qi's works were equally popular in Japan and China, he was able to continue earning his living by painting during the war. Qi had a long and prolific career, influencing generations of students, including Chang Dai-chien (1894-1983), whose work is exhibited on the other side of this doorway.

What made you want to be a meteorologist?
I had no idea what I wanted to do when I left school. I started an IT degree but worked out that wasn't for me. I went skiing for the first time that year, and became hooked on finding out everything about when the next snow would be and why it wasn't snowing. I found myself procrastinating my work life with looking at the weather, and decided I wanted to turn my hobby into my career.
How to Become a Meterologist in Australia
While the exact requirements do change based on what area you're looking to pursue, most Meteorologists in Australia have a background in atmospheric science, mathematics, statistics or computer sciences. Prerequisite subjects such as biology, environmental sciences and physics are a great advantage, with these principles used frequently as a Meteorologist.
Becoming a Meteorologist is possible at any age. Whether you're researching University options or looking for a career change, there's plenty of positions in this area that are accessible; from research to consulting.

Careers in Meterology
What are some of the best things about your job?
I was Drama Captain at school and grew up dancing 6 days a week – I think it's nice that I've managed to combine some of the creative and performance parts of my childhood with a job that allows me to achieve my goal: communicating the right message about the weather. My mission is to make sure the right information is getting through.
What Do Meteorologists Do?
Being a Meteorologist is more than just interpreting data. It's about understanding the way the atmosphere effects us everyday, on the Earth's surface, in the oceans and in different climates. As a Meteorologist, you can expect to spend the majority of your time analysing data and weather patterns, shaping predictions and providing information and advice to a broad range of interested groups.
Weather affects almost everything we do day-to-day and without accurate predictions, it can create dangers and disarray. Meteorologists do more than informing us whether there's a chance it'll rain two days from now; they provide crucial insights and advice that can help predict natural disasters, severe weather warnings and assist us with being more prepared for events out of our control.
Not all Meteorologists are in front of the camera. Plenty of meteorologists in Australia work for organisations such as the Bureau of Meteorology (BoM). Other industries include radio, consulting businesses, aviation, education, military and logistics.
The most common skills and tasks for Meteorologists include:
Science and Mathematical Knowledge
Environmental and Atmospheric Knowledge
Critical Thinking and Analysis
Communication Skills
Why are careers in STEM such as mathematics and science so important?
When I started my IT degree back in 1998 there were 200 students and only 5 of us were female. Females are doing amazing things in these fields and I was pleased to see that my degree at the Bureau of Meteorology had half female intake. When I worked as a forecaster at the Bureau of Meteorology in Sydney there was one shift in the six week block that was all female while many were all male, and over time it is becoming more even.

Intermediary Liability and User Content under Europe's New Data Protection Law
By Daphne Keller on October 8, 2015 at 6:00 am
A big new law is coming, and a lot of companies doing business online aren't going to like it. Neither will many advocates of civil liberties for Internet users. Europe's pending General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) updates and overhauls EU data protection law – the law that produced this week's Schrems case and last year's "Right to Be Forgotten" ruling in the EU.
The 'Right to Be Forgotten', the right to be included, and global content regulation
By Daphne Keller on September 21, 2015 at 4:00 pm
Today the French Data Protection regulator, CNIL, reaffirmed its position that Google must apply European "Right to Be Forgotten" (RTBF) law globally, by removing content from its services in all countries. Europe's RTBF laws are rooted in citizens' rights to data protection and privacy. They are inconsistent with U.S. and other countries' free expression laws, because they require suppression of information even if that information is true and not causing harm.

Internet firms' legal immunity is under threat
"In May a court allowed a lawsuit to proceed against Model Mayhem, a network that connects models and photographers, for having failed to warn users that rapists have used the site to target victims. In June a judge decided that Yelp, a site for crowdsourced reviews, cannot challenge a court order to remove a defamatory review of a lawyer by a client. Courts and lawmakers are not about to abolish section 230, says Daphne Keller of the Centre for Internet and Society at Stanford Law School, but it is unlikely to survive for decades."

"Daphne Keller at the Stanford Center for Internet and Society said internet companies doing business in countries with laws restricting speech know they will be expected to comply with the rules. One common means of doing so without deleting lawful speech elsewhere is to offer country-specific versions of services, like YouTube Thailand, said Keller.
"The company can then honor national law on the version of the service that is targeted to, and primarily used in, that country," she said."

"They only let us say the things that their policies permit. There's good business reasons for that for them, but it's a strange impact for us as a society sharing speech.""

If Korean War Breaks Out, Seoul Will Send Special Forces To Assassinate Kim Jong-Un
South Korea is preparing to send special forces units into Pyongyang
August 31, 2017 73 Comments
Confirming reports that first floated several months ago, the Telegraph reports that South Korea is preparing to send special forces units into Pyongyang to conduct a "clinical strike" – searching for, and taking out Kim Jong-un and his closest advisers, in the event that North Korea should start a conventional war. The plan is among the revisions being made to South Korea's latest strategy for dealing with an attack from the North.
Senior officials briefed South Korea's president, Moon Jae-in, about revisions to the present defence of the nation on Monday, one day before North Korea launched an intermediate-range ballistic missile over Japan. Moon told the ministry to implement reforms to the military to meet the challenges that are increasingly being posed by North Korea. He added that the military should be ready to "quickly switch to an offensive posture in case North Korea stages a provocation that crosses the line or attacks the capital region", the Chosun Ilbo newspaper reported. The prime minister also requested that the military "increase its mobility as well as its ability to carry out airborne and sea landings" and upgrade air defences.

Meanwhile, this is what a "hot" war attack by Pyongyang could look like from the South Korean perspective:
- In the event of a conventional conflict breaking out on the Korean Peninsula, North Korean artillery is expected to bombard the South's defences along the Demilitarised Zone as well as shelling Seoul, which is less than 50 miles south of the border.
- Massed tanks and infantry units, assisted by saboteurs and agents already in the South, would attempt to swiftly seize Seoul and other key cities and facilities in South Korea before the United States and, potentially, other allied nations could land reinforcements.
In retaliation, under the existing US-South Korean plan for the defence of the South, known as OPLAN 5015, the two nations would aim to bring their overwhelming air and naval superiority to bear from bases in South Korea and Japan, as well as aircraft carriers in the western Pacific, although it would take weeks before large-scale reinforcements, including heavy tanks and other equipment, could be landed.
Furthermore,as the following naval map as of August 24 shows, in practical terms there is no carrier support around the Korea penninsula, so at least one aspect of the theoretical plan is currently impossible.
The new South Korean plan will identify more than 1,000 primary targets in North Korea to be eliminated by missiles and laser-guided munitions – including nuclear weapons and missile launch facilities – at the same time as the conventional attack is halted.

Additionally, the military has been tasked with training special forces units that could be infiltrated into Pyongyang in order to target key members of the regime, including Kim Jong-un, the North Korean leader, in order to bring about a more rapid conclusion to the fighting. While on paper such a "decapitation" move appears enticing, in reality the retaliation by the crippled NKorean regime against its southern neighbor, especially once it has lost its leader, would likely result in countless casualties and serve as the start of a gruesome regional, if not world, war.
Linda Sarsour Solicits Donations For Leftist Group Under Pretense of 'Hurricane Relief'
Jihadist uses Harvey to funnel money to radical leftist group
August 31, 2017 24 Comments
On Monday, leftist icon Linda Sarsour used the tragedy of Hurricane Harvey to funnel money to a leftist political group with no obvious connection to the victims who were traumatized by the hurricane.
The site for Sarsour's chosen charity [is] the Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund, which is a project of the Texas Organizing Project Education Fund.
The Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund is supported by the left-wing groups SEIU and MoveOn.org, among other groups. The Texas Organizing Project Education Fund's parent organization, the Texas Organizing Project, was an organization morphed into by the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), the radical group that was allegedly implicated in voter-registration fraud, vote-rigging, voter intimidation, and vote-for-pay scams.

Indiana Teacher Asks First-Graders to Stop Talking About God In Class
Letter home to parents warned other kids might be offended
August 31, 2017 9 Comments
An Indiana elementary school teacher stirred controversy after sending a letter home to parents asking them to tell their children not to talk about God in the classroom.
An unnamed first-grade teacher at McCordsville Elementary School sent a letter home to parents on Aug. 23 saying a group of about five students had mentioned the words "God, Jesus and Devil" during a conversation in class, and that it wasn't the appropriate place to be holding a theological debate.
"With McCordsville Elementary being a public school, we have many different religions and beliefs, and I do not want to upset a child/parent because of these words being used," the letter read. "If you go to church or discuss these things at home, please have a talk with your child about there being an appropriate time and place of talking about it."

The Left is Triggered by Hurricane Harvey Because it Proves America Isn't Racist
The Left is Triggered by Hurricane Harvey Because it Proves America Isn't Racist
'Progressives' furious at images of people of different races helping each other
August 31, 2017 207 Comments
Many on the left are triggered by rescue efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey because it demolishes their narrative that America is a racist country.
The most widely shared images on social media out of Texas show people of all races helping each other deal with the catastrophe.
With everyone screaming racist, this is what I am seeing. Americans
Even a man with a Confederate flag was helping to save black people.
The guy with the Confederate flag on his boat is saving everyone. Blacks, whites. Everyone. #Meyerland #Harvey
In the video below, an African-American and former cop protects his community from looters.
This spontaneous outpouring of community spirit and color-blind resilience has infuriated some on the left because it has completely eviscerated their race-baiting narrative that America is deeply divided, emphasizing how most of that division is being contrived by the media and far-left political movements.
Left-wing Slate writer Katy Waldman, who was first triggered by the photograph below of a white man saving an Asian woman, asserted that "Houston doesn't showcase America at its best" because….reasons (all of which appear to be pretentious waffling).
Texans become heroes as Harvey rages https://thinkprogress.org/texans-become-heroes-as-harvey-rages-8e9e04ff4102/ …
After a backlash, Waldman deleted her tweet and changed the headline of her article.
Meanwhile, Politico chose to respond to the catastrophe by mocking the victims of the hurricane.
They posted a cartoon of a white man wearing a Confederate flag shirt and his daughter being rescued that mocked their faith in God and thanked the government for rescuing them. The image was soon deleted.
Hey @politico – why did you delete this?
The official Women's March Twitter account also specifically directed followers to donate to charities to help non-white people.
The only group to separate #Harvey victims by color, race or national background . Everybody else is just saving people #NoSurprise #Racist
"The only group to separate #Harvey victims by color, race or national background . Everybody else is just saving people," remarked actor James Woods.
The Alt-Left on Twitter has also feverishly expressed their desire to see the catastrophe impact only white people.
Contrast and compare.
Man saving children
People who effectively have said they wanted those children to die
The usual suspects, outlets like the Root and the Huffington Post, also tried to gloss over the powerful uniting force that the disaster has had by attempting to make it all about race and anti-Trump hysteria.
The fantastic, heartfelt, heroic and color-blind reaction that Hurricane Harvey has elicited has rendered the Alt-Left furious.
Basic authentic reality has once again wrecked their fake moral panic and ruined their frenzied claim that America is on the brink of a race war.
All this is not to say that racism doesn't still in exist in America, but the notion that Americans are so divided that they are ready to choose sides in a "civil war," as Salon.com asserted earlier this week, is patently ridiculous.

Why Didn't the US Shoot Down That North Korean Missile?
Why Didn't the US Shoot Down That North Korean Missile?
By Patrick Tucker Read bio August 29, 2017
The military's record of hitting intermediate-range missiles is less than perfect. That makes the decision to attempt an intercept much harder.
This story has been updated to reflect recent developments overnight.
North Korea launched another medium-range missile on Monday, this one right over Japan. Despite Defense Secretary Jim Mattis' threats to shoot down missiles aimed at Guam and President Donald Trump's Pyongyang-aimed bluster, the United States and Japan let it fly. Why?
After the test, Trump on Tuesday said that "all options are on the table," as every president has said for decades. But the Pentagon is still reluctant to use some of the most obvious options, such as shooting down a missile above the earth's atmosphere with another missile fired from a ship.
The United States has 33 Aegis warships (three more are slated to arrive next year) that can launch an interceptor to hit a mid- or intermediate-range missile like the Hwasong-12 that North Korea sent over Hokkaido. Sixteen of those warships are currently in the Pacific.
Mattis said earlier this month that any North Korean missile headed toward U.S. land, including Guam and other territories, would be shot down and considered war against the United States. But, he added, if the missile were tracking to land in the sea, it would be the president's call what to do about it.

Tom Karako, senior fellow and missile defense expert with the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said that if the missile launched Monday were really a threat to the United States or even Japan "then presumably we may well have attempted to engage it."
But what are the costs and what are the benefits in attempting such an intercept? Anti-missile interceptors like the ones on U.S. warships are designed to hit enemy missiles as they reach peak altitude — in the case of the Hwasong-12, that's above 3,500 kilometers. The United States has demonstrated that it can intercept mid-range and slightly higher intermediate-range missile. But the test record includes embarrassing and recent failures.
Between January 2002 and August 14 of this year, the Defense Department attempted 37 intercepts of a mid-range missile and hit the target 29 times with an SM-3. There are many reasons for this, but the biggest, according to the Pentagon's Office of the Director of Operational Testing and Engineering, is that realistic testing of interceptors is very expensive and requires a lot of lead time and support.
Update: On Wednesday morning, MDA conducted another successful intercept test using an SM-6 aboard a warship against a medium-range ballistic missile target. "The USS John Paul Jones detected and tracked a target missile launched from the Pacific Missile Range Facility on Kauai, Hawaii with its onboard AN/SPY-1 radar," the agency said in a press statement.
In February, MDA showed that their newest version of the standard missile, the SM-3 IIA, could hit a mid-range missile. But a second test in June was a failure. The Navy later attributed that to human error. But 50 percent is not a good record for the most advanced intermediate-range interceptor in the U.S. arsenal.
The Obama administration pushed hard for a ship-based defense against mid-range North Korean missiles aimed at Japan or Guam but found that the military has much better chance of hitting missiles that don't fly so high.
Shooting down an enemy missile aimed at U.S. territory may be good defense, but shooting down a missile test aimed at the sea would be an act of war. Or so argued North Korea.
"Taking a shot at a North Korean missile is not something the U.S. military would do lightly or without a directive to do so," said Karako. "if we are going to shoot at something, we will do it like we mean it. But there has to be a good reason to do it. That reason might be if there is an actual threat to the U.S., its forces, or our allies. Or it might be if the U.S. or Japan adopts a policy to intercept certain types of missiles or those on certain kinds of trajectory. But that would have to be a deliberate policy choice."
The highest probability of success would be to hit the enemy missile closer to the ground, during the so-called boost phase. That's what MDA is aiming for in the future with laser-armed drones. In July, the agency put out a request for information for a high-altitude long endurance aircraft. Read that to mean a drone that can fly above 63,000 feet for a long time. According to the request, the drone should have enough power for a 140-kw laser. But that program won't even begin testing until 2023. Until then, and likely even after, every time a missile heads toward Japan, Guam, or anywhere else, military leaders will have to decide whether attempting to shoot down North Korean missiles is worth the costs of possibly missing — or starting a war.
The Reason Joel Osteen Waited to FINALLY Open Lakewood Church to Harvey Evacuees
Joel Osteen Receives Major Backlash After Not Opening Lakewood Church To Houston Flood Victims
Watch How Alleged Houston Looters React When Confronted by Armed Man Claiming to Be Ex-SWAT Deputy
"I will cut your ass in half."
August 31, 2017
Note: This article contains coarse language that may offend some readers.
A new video purportedly showing Houston looters being chased away by a shotgun-wielding man claiming to be an ex-SWAT deputy was going viral on Wednesday. YouTube user TexasProud uploaded the video on Tuesday, claiming it was a video from her "neighbor" in the comments section.
"It's a shame. We need more real men out here to step up and protect where you live," the man says in the YouTube video.
Moments later, the man protecting the "Little York Food Mart" yells off-camera:
"I'm telling you one time: I'm not scared to shoot you, I'm an ex-f**king SWAT deputy. I will cut your ass in half."
The alleged looters supposedly ran away after the warning from the armed man protecting the store.

The Shred Diet is a cycle diet, which means that if you haven't hit your goal weight after six weeks, you can repeat the cycle of weeks in a different order. Once you've hit your target weight, you'll be in the maintenance phase, which means that every 4 weeks you choose any week of the diet and follow its plan for 7 days. Once you've kept the weight off for a period of six months, you can commit to a week of the cycle to do every eight weeks, like a tune-up for your metabolism.
Dieting and exercise go hand in hand. If you thought that only dieting will burn your belly fat, you are wrong. If you really want to lose weight, you need to include an hour of exercise in your daily routine for targeting and reducing belly fat. Here, we have compiled a list of 16 exercises that can help you reduce belly fat faster than you thought it would take:
A little garlic in your meals could mean a lot less weight around your middle. The results of a Korean study found that mice given a high-fat diet supplemented with garlic lost significantly more weight and abdominal fat than those who just ate fatty foods. Even better, they also improved their liver health, making it easier to stay healthy and burn off that excess fat in the long term. For more flavorful ways to make your food more enjoyable, turn to the metabolism-boosting spicy recipes and watch those pounds melt away.
If you follow food trends, you might think you have to fall in love with cauliflower and kale to reap all the rewards that veggies offer, but that isn't the case. Be it broccoli, sweet potatoes, carrots, red peppers, cabbage, spinach, or any other vegetable, the idea is to eat a variety of them and find plenty of ways to enjoy their goodness. So if you just can't stomach steamed Brussels sprouts, try them roasted, or give sautéed Brussels sprouts a try. If raw zucchini isn't your thing, see if you like it spiralized into noodles or grilled on a grill pan.
Write down everything you eat this week. People who keep food diaries, according to a study published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, lose an average of 6 pounds (2.75 kg) more than people who don't keep a record of everything that they eat.[10] So force yourself to write down the good, the bad and the ugly. Keep these tips in mind:
A 2018 study among more than 600 adults who were tracked for a year concluded that while there are different paths to weight loss, the advice to limit added sugars and refined grains, add more veggies to your plate, and eat more whole foods — in other words, focusing on the quality of your diet — is the way to go. People who followed this advice lost weight without worrying about calories.
For example, a 200-pound guy following this program would consume 200 grams of protein per day, and eat 2,000–2,200 calories—that's approximately 420 calories (about 50 grams) from fat, and 880 calories (220 grams) from carbs. Your protein and fat intake will stay relatively constant, but your carbs can be raised or lowered as needed (see Step 5). So, if you're taking your shirt off on Saturday, begin following this protocol the Saturday prior.
Studies have found that overweight people who ate a moderate-fat diet containing almonds lost more weight than a control group that didn't eat nuts. Snacking once or twice a day is one of the easy ways to lose weight that helps stave off hunger and keeps your metabolism stoked. You can also pack up baby carrots or your own trail mix with the healthiest nuts you can eat, plus raisins, seeds, and dried fruit. Here are 30 healthy snacks that can help you lose weight.
The reason we're suggesting 45 minutes instead of the typical 30 as one of the easy ways to lose weight is that a Duke University study found that while 30 minutes of daily walking is enough to prevent weight gain in most relatively sedentary people, exercise beyond 30 minutes results in weight and fat loss. Burning an additional 300 calories a day with three miles of brisk walking (45 minutes should do it) could help you lose 30 pounds in a year without even changing how much you're eating. Here are 20 hidden reasons your diet isn't working.

Forgive yourself. So you were going to have one cracker with spray cheese on it and the next thing you know the can's pumping air and the box is empty? Drink some water, brush your teeth, and move on. Everyone who's ever tried to lose weight has found it challenging. When you slip up, the best idea is to get right back on track and don't look back.
"For some people, it's knowing, 'Typically I eat a whole sandwich,'" says Gagliardi. "'Now, I'm going to make the decision to eat half a sandwich at lunch and save the other half for my dinner and essentially cut my calories in half. And they feel good about that. They're not having to do math." To get started, check out these 25 simple ways to cut 500 calories a day.
His newest diet promises to help people shred four inches and two sizes in as little as six weeks, and Dr. Ian tells EBONY.com that this diet is the one to stick with. He's seen an average weight loss of 20 pounds in six weeks from devotees of this new diet, and he says it's fitting for those who have 10 pounds or over 100 to lose. Pretty impressive.
At any given time, there are dozens of weight-loss hypes in the marketplace that claim to take off 10 pounds in 10 days, or whatever. Desperation can tempt us to try anything — from "clean eating" to cutting out food groups entirely. Keep in mind: Just because an avocado-kale-salad dripping in coconut oil is deemed "clean" by a so-called "expert" on your Instagram feed does not make it an unlimited food. Moral of the story? Avoid fads, eat real food, watch some Netflix, and unwind (perhaps with a glass of wine in hand). Now that's my kind of detox.
In other words? "Drinking makes you more likely to eat sh*t," Dr. Seltzer says, referring to drunk foods. At the same time, he stops short of asking patients to quit alcohol cold-turkey to lose weight. Plus, research suggests you don't have to, as long as your intake is moderate—i.e., less than about a drink a day. "If you drink a glass of wine every night and notice you eat more afterward, eat less early to account for this," he says. "Or, if you're drinking four glasses of wine a week, drink three instead so you'll won't feel such a big difference."
In a new study, Stanford University researchers put more than 600 overweight adults on either a healthy low-fat or low-carb diet. It turns out, participants had similar levels of weight loss success on each plan. Researchers looked for clues (such as insulin levels and gene patterns) to see if there are any factors that might make someone more successful on either diet, but after combing through the data, they were not able to make any connections. Since it may take years before scientists discover individual traits that could lead to more success on one plan compared to another, for now, we can learn a lot — and lose a lot! — by recognizing the dieting advice that all experts agree on.
IKS: I don't make resolutions, because resolutions seem so ephemeral and transient to go away. But one of my commitments this year is that I want to be even more benevolent and generous of my intellectual assets to help people, to inspire and encourage people. I want to be even more giving this year. I find a tremendous amount of return and reward when I give, and I want to do more of it.
Why does HIIT training work better than conventional cardio for fat loss? When you do cardio at the same pace, your body adjusts itself to the workload and tries to conserve calories. (After all, your body doesn't know how long or hard you plan to work out.) Interval training forces your body to burn more calories -- and tap into fat stores -- because it has no choice. Science says so: One study at Laval University found people who performed HIIT cardio lost nine times more fat than people who performed moderate cardio at a consistent speed.
Don't work out later than three days before your event. If your party's on Saturday, for example, do your last workout of the week on Wednesday—muscles bulge most when they're flush with glycogen (the carbohydrates stored in muscle), so you need to give your body time to recover and replenish its glycogen stores before your unveiling. If you train too close to the big day, the carbs stored in your muscles will be depleted, and you'll end up looking flat and soft. Furthermore, make sure this last workout focuses on the areas you want to highlight, such as chest and arms. Glycogen is replenished fastest in muscles that need it most—i.e., the ones that have just been worked—so if you want your pecs and biceps to pop, you have to make sure they soak up as many of the carbs you're taking in as possible (explained in the next step).

I did not actually go through the Shred program, but I can tell from reading through it that it should work. Shred guides you through a six-week program of eating healthy foods in a way to boost your metabolism in order to burn more calories. There are no tricks, and the diet is completely healthy. This is the first program I've read that has you vary your caloric intake to keep your body from becoming complacent. I have seen this technique used for aerobic exercising and strength training.

In our eat-and-run, massive-portion-sized culture, maintaining a healthy weight can be tough—and losing weight, even tougher. If you've tried and failed to lose weight before, you may believe that diets don't work for you. You're probably right: some diets don't work at all and none of them work for everyone—our bodies often respond differently to different foods. But while there's no easy fix to losing weight, there are plenty of steps you can take to develop a healthier relationship with food, curb emotional triggers to overeating, and achieve lasting weight-loss success.
On the physiological side of things, it's important to realize that the vast majority of your daily caloric burn comes down to just basic functions like breathing and keeping your heart beating, Moore says. Called your basal metabolic rate (BMR), your muscle does play a role in setting it, but extra muscle isn't going to turn you into a supercharged calorie-torching machine. And even though exercise does burn calories, that total is often significantly less than what we expect and would need to create a large daily caloric deficit, he says.
"Getting deep down to the root of why you want to lose weight is a very powerful and eye-opening experience," she says. "I do this exercise with my clients. I give them a piece of paper and they start at the top with the initial reason they want to lose weight. Often, it starts with reasons like 'I will look better.' Under that, I ask them why that is important. Sometimes there are some very deep and powerful reasons that are incredibly motivating like 'I want to lose weight to travel on an airplane with my husband on our second honeymoon' or 'to be able to really play with my kids.'"
Eat Breakfast Every Day. One habit that's common to many people who have lost weight and kept it off is eating breakfast every day. "Many people think skipping breakfast is a great way to cut calories, but they usually end up eating more throughout the day, says Elizabeth Ward, MS, RD, author of The Pocket Idiot's Guide to the New Food Pyramids. "Studies show people who eat breakfast have lower BMIs than breakfast-skippers and perform better, whether at school or in the boardroom." Try a bowl of whole-grain cereal topped with fruit and low-fat dairy for a quick and nutritious start to your day.
"Exercise should not be used to purge calories," Albers says. "Instead, to boost your mood to keep you motivated." The thing is, exercise is great for you and can make you feel awesome. And feeling good about yourself seems to be actually useful in weight-loss efforts. Plus, some research has shown that changes in exercise behavior can lead to changes in eating behavior. "In part, it is neurochemical. Movement and exercise you enjoy boosts your serotonin and dopamine levels, which makes you feel good all the way around," Albers says.
That doesn't mean that we don't have certain areas where we're predisposed to put on fat. If I gain a few excess pounds, most seem to appear on my stomach. Other people tend to put on pounds in their thighs or rear. They're gaining weight everywhere, of course, but it seems to appear more readily in a certain area. On the flip side, if I lose five or six pounds, my waistline gets noticeably less soft.
For even more impressive effects on body composition: aim for exercise forms which elicit a positive hormonal response. This means lifting really heavy things (strength training), or interval training. Such exercise increases levels of the sex hormone testosterone (primarily in men) as well as growth hormone. Not only do greater levels of these hormones increase your muscle mass, but they also decrease your visceral fat (belly fat) in the long term.
Dairy products contain varying amounts of lactose (milk sugar), which slows down weight loss. What's more, part of the protein in milk generates a significant insulin response, which can have the same effect. Consequently, cutting back on dairy products may accelerate weight loss. This applies especially to dairy products typically lacking in fat, such as regular milk and various yogurts, but be careful with full-fat dairy such as cream and cheese all the same. And don't forget whey protein powder, which is pure milk protein.
2. Sweep: Start with basic abs tuck (standing crunch). For that you have to lift one knee using the abs, and bend the other knee to sit slightly on the ground. Bring the rib cage to the bellybutton so that the spine is in C-curve position. Simultaneously, squeeze the oblique on one side to crunch while reaching down for the opposite foot. Do 10 repetitions for each side, then do 10 again (total of 20, alternating after 10).
I love the book! Very easy to follow with a large variation of foods to choose from. Dr. Ian breaks down each phase of the plan and offers menu suggestions to follow. I would definitely recommend this book to a friend and other buyers looking to lose weight! Absolutely nothing boring about this diet plan - love it. I'm going on week 3 and I have lost 14.5 lbs.!
In fact, a study published in 2016 in the International Journal of Obesity looked at the metabolic health markers of more than 40,0000 adults and found that nearly half of people who are overweight, and 29 percent of people classified as having obesity, were cardiometabolically healthy. It also found that more than 30 percent of people at so-called "healthy weights" had poor cardiometabolic health—which can include hypertension, high cholesterol, inflammation, and insulin resistance.

A sedentary lifestyle is one of the major causes of occurrence of belly fat. If you don't indulge in any physical activity, and spend most of the time sitting, watching T.V., reading, etc., it is known as a sedentary lifestyle. Lack of regular exercise, or not exercising at all can lead to fat storage around the belly area. In other words, being a couch potato will make you fat.
The researchers explain that people who cook their own meals may simply have other good-for-you habits, like exercising more. However, they also concluded that home cooks ate more fruits and vegetables (along with a wider variety of foods), have healthier methods of prepping their food, and splurge less on foods high in calories and sugar. No clue where to start? Check out these 25 high-protein chicken recipes for weight loss.
If you follow food trends, you might think you have to fall in love with cauliflower and kale to reap all the rewards that veggies offer, but that isn't the case. Be it broccoli, sweet potatoes, carrots, red peppers, cabbage, spinach, or any other vegetable, the idea is to eat a variety of them and find plenty of ways to enjoy their goodness. So if you just can't stomach steamed Brussels sprouts, try them roasted, or give sautéed Brussels sprouts a try. If raw zucchini isn't your thing, see if you like it spiralized into noodles or grilled on a grill pan.
High Intensity Interval Training, which is also abbreviated as HIIT, is a form of cardio where you go all out for a short period of time, and then rest for a while, repeating this cycle multiple times. Numerous studies have shown that HIIT is actually far better for fat loss, and overall health, than steady state cardio. And, you can save time doing it.
Conversely, the more food in front of you, the more you'll eat—regardless of how hungry you are. So instead of using regular dinner plates that range these days from 10 to 14 inches (making them look empty if they're not heaped with food), serve your main course on salad plates (about 7 to 9 inches wide). Instead of 16-ounce glasses and oversized coffee mugs, return to the old days of 8-ounce glasses and 6-ounce coffee cups.
3. Exercise Ball Crunch: This is one of the most effective ways to strengthen and flatten abs. Studies show this exercise is 40% more effective than regular ab crunches as it targets smaller muscles for flat toned abs including the oblique's for a small waist and the outermost muscles that your typical ab crunch may miss. To begin, lie down on the ball positioning it under the lower back. Place arms behind your head. Tighten your abs as you lift your torso off the ball while keeping the ball stable. Lower back down and repeat 15 times with 1-3 sets.
When the going gets tough (and it likely will from time to time along any weight loss journey), it's important to realize that a host of non-food factors can make losing weight difficult, explains board-certified obesity medicine specialist Spencer Nadolsky, D.O., a diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine and author of The Fat Loss Prescription. Hormones, genetics, and, ultimately, metabolism are three big ones, he says.
If you're routinely skimping on the recommended seven to nine hours, or you have difficulty falling or staying asleep, it's time to get serious about your bedtime rituals. Your better-sleep strategy includes: limiting caffeine past the early afternoon; sticking to alcohol caps of one drink for women, two for men (since alcohol can interfere with the quality of your sleep); and staying off the phone and iPad within an hour of bedtime.
Instead of satisfying your sweet tooth with some refined sugar, turn to berries and enjoy a slimmer waistline in no time. Berries are loaded with antioxidants, which can help reduce inflammation throughout the body, and research from the University of Michigan reveals that rats given a cherry-rich diet shaved off a significant proportion of their belly fat when compared to a control group. Berries like strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries are also loaded with resveratrol, an antioxidant pigment that has been linked to reductions in belly fat and a reduced risk of dementia, to boot.
