Washington D.C: Just few days after the release of 'Shazam!', the sequel to the film is in the works.
The film collected USD 53.5 million at the domestic box office in its opening weekend, and its team is now officially working on the sequel, reported The Hollywood Reporter.
Writer Henry Gayden, who penned the original's screenplay, is writing the next installment. The 'Shazam!' director David F. Sandberg and producer Peter Safran are expected to return for the follow-up.
The DC film set up plenty of fodder for potential sequels, for instance, surprise cameos in the original film made way for more heroes in the universe and a mid-credits scene teasing a mysterious villain.
Actor Dwayne Johnson is all set to star in his own solo movie as the class villain Black Adam, and will presumably face off against the hero at some point.
'Shazam!' focuses on teenager Billy Batson, played by Asher Angel, who can transform into an adult superhero, played by Zachary Levi. He faces off against the villainous Dr. Sivana, played by Mark Strong with the help of his foster brother, played by Jack Dylan Grazer.
Gayden has previously penned the 2014 feature 'Earth to Echo' and is also working on the Phil Lord and Chris Miller sci-fi film 'Last Human'.

This project was very different to my usual sessions. I had only about 3 hours to construct and 'write' a percussive track for a Rugby World Cup promo airing one time only on ITV. The reference was a tennis commercial constructed solely from tennis sounds, shouts, ball bounces etc. The cut however was a lot more aggressive than the reference, and being rugby I thought I'd make the piece a little more tribal sounding.
The session wasn't attended which is always worrying when I'm left to my own devices! I worked to a tempo grid (as opposed to timecode) and started building the percussion using rugby hits, ball catches, referees whistle etc.
When the client cam in to approve it, he was not expecting what I had made. My heart sank and with no time left to change it I was stuck. He liked it, it just wasn't what he was expecting. Later he called and said he'd played it to his peers and they loved it!! Phew!

Just a few more days until Christmas! Today is the boys last and highly anticipated pajama day at school before winter break. They'll be watching Polar Express and were allowed to bring a special snack. Powerade | Cheese Sandwich Crackers | Yogurt Tubes and a Rice Krispie Treat
When I got to the center this evening, class was still in session and they were practicing pinning/freeing themselves from the floor. Nathan did excellent in his match-up! He's a very strong child and I see that he's a very strategic and analytical opponent as well. He was able to get his legs wrapped around his opponents neck and pin down twice. I think he's going to go really far in TaeKwonDo! What I appreciated the most, however, was that both he and his pal were totally fine once done. Laughing, smiling and playfully chatting about the next time. There was no "competition" , angst or bad vibes off of the floor.
Master M let me know that Nick was a bit hesitant about his turn at wrestling. Although he was a bit scared, he persevered and went through with it anyway! He's coming out of that shy shell more and more each day! We're proud of him! At home he uses all of his strength and brawn on Nathan when they practice, his potential is highly promising! He reminds me so much of me when I was a child... so timid and gentle natured in public. At 5, I'm impressed daily with his bravery, growth, adventurous spirit, etc. I can always count on him to at least TRY! Which is AWESOME!
We got home later than usual. This cold weather makes for finicky car batteries. There's ONE MORE THING on the to-do list! Grrr.
Anyway, we're home, we're hungry and we're all pooped! It was a very eventful week. We enjoyed our quick fixes for dinner and after a while, someone went in the freezer and FINALLY found Noel! :0)
Of course the boys had to have a cone too! Nick and I played Dr Seuss and shared some one on one reading. I read him The Night Before Christmas and he was pretty stoked to learn that Santa's name is Nicholas too! Meanwhile Nathan watched his entire TMNT dvd series. Unphased. He's hooked! I'm glad we're all being "easy" for the night. It's Friday folks! Do as you please! {ENJOY!}
*WoW* {POW} #BooM ~BANG!
It's Ninja Noel taking on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! She's tougher than she looks, huh?
Tonight the boys got the special treatment from cousin Tiara including dinner from Dominoes and a fancy ride home!
Our Advent Activity today is: "Family Christmas Songs!" The boys hopped in my bed and we snapped and clapped to our acapella versions of their request first:
Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer
Jingle Bells
Santa Claus is Coming to Town
I also taught them a new one, Silent Night! *hint hint* LOL - Bedtime was a battle! These two are WAY too excited that tomorrow is pajama day at school. They get to wear PJs all day AND take a special snack to participate in the Holiday Activities to kick off Winter Break!
The boys had Secret Santa at Martial Arts after school today! We got their recipients a toy gumball machine (Girl,5) and a light up remote control flying UFO (Boy,12). When I picked them up, Nick was very excited about his new flippable cool Spiderman car from his pal Peter. Nathan got a $25 giftcard to Target! He was super excited about that and wanted to go shopping RIGHT AWAY!
We stopped home first and to their surprise Noel was undergoing an OPERATION headed by the Despicable Minions! Oh my! Good thing Nick rescued her before things got too crazy!
I don't think we're done with Secret Santa for the night! Right as we were on our way back out, it looks like dinner is coming from Chick-Fil-A courtesy of Noel! BONUS!
We went right to Target FIRST and Nathan bought himself the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles season on dvd! After that, we went and got our kids meal and headed home! Tonights advent activity said:
Clean up, Clean up! Every body, every where!
With all of these wonderful ADVENTures, counting down to Christmas, Elf Shenanigans and Holiday Happenings, our chore doing could use a little PUSH! Geeze! What a Juggle!
Meet Santa Cow! | Prize Time | Read
Fancy seeing YOU this morning Noel! Hmph. Who knew Mommy's bracelets and rings were the perfect size for necklaces and bangles! (...and ah, did she get her ears pierced too!?) Well! Well!
Today's ADVENTure said to: Go Meet Santa Cow! But, Who's Santa Cow?
Chick-Fil-A's very own Santa Cow was hosting a dinner event tonight including face painting, paper gingerbread houses, coloring, Twas the night before Christmas story time, music, prizes and pictures! Nathan got a ninja turtle painted on his hand and Nicholas got a beautiful butterfly!
After that, the boys went to their ULTIMATE celebration spot SWEET FROG froyo to claim a PRIZE! They won 2 FREE CUPS for winning the best "Snow Day" picture post on the store's facebook page last Tuesday when school was closed!
It's COOL to be THEM, I tell ya! Best of both worlds, I LOVE photos and photography and they are two of the cutest, most interesting, exciting subjects I've ever caught on camera! Sweet!
Deliver the Mail | Meet the BIG GUY | Smile with Santa?
Today TWELVE of us (13 including Noel) headed out to visit the Winter Wonderland at Bass Pro Shop. There, the boys mailed off their Christmas letters, met the big guy and took pictures.
Across the country, Old Navy stores hosted their {Smile with Santa} event where you could come into the store, take your own photo with Santa and then hashtag #oldnavysanta on social media. All the boys were gifted with a peppermint pattie and gave the "skinny santa" a strange stare. They opted to stand around him, rather than going for a leg! LOL He was a good sport!
It's all about Snowmen today! There's a beautiful light snowfall coming down outside and the perfect time to keep warm in our pajamas and make a few treats!
...and finish up Nathan's school project! He was given a week to make his own Holiday Scrapbook including photos, drawings, lists and memories!
He did a wonderful job! The boys got a kick out of their Frosty the Snowman recorded book as they listened along to their "younger selves" and those squeaky singing voices. We all SANG and read in the recording and now it's one of our annual ingredients for Christmastime story time!
This afternoon we're heading out to hang with family. The S Boys are in town from Philly! The boys picked out remote control bumper cars as a gift for their cousin's 9th BigDay!
Noel took a big kid break and met our newest baby cousin Korreye! It turns out she ADORES babies and he was quite fond of her too! She tasted great!
Myself and a couple others went out for smoothies and picked up dinner for the family, while all the children took turns between pads, video games, baby watch, bumper cars and toy fun. They REFUSED to come home! REFUSED! So, I let them change into PJ's and went to the movies.
Best Man Holiday... fond memory#1 starts with MOR ends with CHEST. *cough* #wow I really enjoyed the movie and the entire cast LOOKS ABSOLUTELY GREAT!
What a tear jerker! I could truly wholeheartedly relate to all of the occurrences in the film. Hit home! Marriages, children, illness, finances, business, laughing, crying and just REAL LIFE day to day adversity.
Next stop, I.H.O.P and then drop! We have Big Plans first thing tomorrow morning to see the BIG Guy! The ADVENTures never end!
12/9/2013 Late Start | A Cookie Man | Night Ninja
------------ Text-6am: [County Schools have a 2-Hour delay] *Ugh* ------------
I hopped up to notify work and took a look out of the window to see the damage. Not too bad, but I still got up to clean the car off and scrape the windows while the boys slept in. Noel watched...
She felt right at home with the snowfall and all! Nick MADE her come back in! (Mommy, she could get sick you know...)
It was nice not having to rush so much while getting ready for the day. The boys and I decided to go out for breakfast before school. The weather made for a much longer commute to and fro today. Our evening seemed to fly by with dinner, homework and clean-up time. It was bedtime by the time they got around to check the Advent calendar. Their activity note said:
************************Bake a Gingerbread Man!*********************
I think we can pull that off in a few minutes. We have chocolate chip cookie dough (not actual fans of "gingerbread") and a cookie man pan ready to go! Go BIG or go home, right?
Somehow, Nicholas and I did most of the prep work with lining the pan in parchment and pressing the dough into the mold.
The other kiddo darted from the kitchen and a ninja turtle suddenly reemerged by the Tree.
Yep! Soooo, that's our signal to go to bed now! Mommy will let the cookie cool and wrap it up and the Night Ninja and company can fight the good fight tomorrow night! OVER and OUT!
12/8/2013 Noel's Letter | First Snow | A Year Ago TODAY | Holiday Humor
I guess Noel didn't want to be left out of yesterday's letter and ornament making! When the boys found her, she'd made her christmas list and letter to Santa AND a special craft ornament just like Nicks! Nicholas thought that was pretty cool and placed it on the tree by his!
Today's the First Snow Fall of the season! It's really coming down out there! Our ADVENTure says we're to deliver our Merry Mail to Santa but the weather isn't the most promising, so we're postponing to next Sunday. We're spending the day inside where it's safe and WARM!
Ironically, A year ago today... 12/8/12
It was also the weekend, but a Saturday and we were at home gathering all of our outgrown clothing and shoes and donating them to a local homeless shelter. We attended a neighbors cookie exchange / holiday open house and then went to see santa to delivery the boys Christmas letters!
That's wonderfully weird, yet consistent!
Sunday nights are always a "fight" for me. I'm usually tired and doing last minute weekend chores. I'd gathered laundry, prepared for the work and school week and was alllllllmost asleep when I remembered Noel! I was drawing a blank so I searched the elf on the shelf hashtag on instagram for a quick idea and found THIS instead...
I CRACKED UP! How perfectly fitting for the moment! I turned over and passed out after that! OH WELL Noel, I'll set ya up in the a.m. with a fresh brain! LOL
12/7/13 Merry Mail | The Toy Story Gang | The BIG Tree
Morning Boys! Where's Noel? Looks like she linked up with The Toy Story Gang for a triple play today! Jessie is her FAVORITE, just like Nicholas!
It's a Stay-home-Saturday, so the boys decided to hop on the couch and watch along while I got breakfast ready! Today's ADVENTure is decorating the BIG tree and writing our letters to Santa!
One of our household traditions is each of us having annual ornaments that reflect our likes, favorites and milestones. As we decorate the tree, it's nice to check the year at the bottom of a special and unique one and KNOW that "In 2009, Nathan's favorite character was Lightning McQueen" or that apple on the tree that says Twilight is there because mom REALLY got into these best selling books about Vampires. :0) It is nice to talk about the stories and meanings as we hang them.
Nicholas even took it upon himself to grab a plain ornament and started decorating it with our leftover snowglobe supplies. Creative and crafty!
The boys have made THE longest, priciest Christmas Lists yet!
I literally gave them a sheet of legal paper, because they ran out of room on the smaller starter list. I also let them "cap" the list at ONE sheet of paper! LOL
Here Goes:
1. "ALL" the TMNT Characters (Esp. Splinter, Shredder, April and the DOJO "big turtles" at target) 2. TMNT 16" Bike 3. TMNT Twin Bed Tent 4. TMNT Twin Bedding 5. TMNT Lair Playset 6. TMNT lego van 7.

12/6/2013 Yellow Belts | Balloons & FroYo | Christmas Crafts
This morning Noel helped Nick get a head start with his dental hygiene!
Today is day TWO of the TaeKwonDo belt testing! The "higher belts" will be sparring and the white belt boys will break their first boards with their bare feet!
After the belt awarding ceremony takes place, the students and families will have a potluck dinner to celebrate! I'll be taking the boys to Sweet Frog AGAIN for their second serving Victory Cups of FroYo!
Both kids broke their boards on the first kick and successfully EARNED those yellow belts! Forever on film, I have Nathan's infamous post board breaking foot grab 'n hop! LOL (He FELT it!)
I enjoyed this so much and have ease in knowing that while I'm working, they are with a great network of friends, role models and teachers!
The wife of my friend(s) from nearly 16 years ago recommended the Academy and it's certainly a PLUS to have my children, befriend their children and continue our friendships across the next generation!
Dinner was great and we headed out and off to Sweet Frog! I had a couple balloons waiting in the car for my HEROES!
The young ladies there asked the boys what they were celebrating and made them laugh when they suddenly became "frightened" of the yellow belts that could "KICK THEIR BUTTS!" That reminds me, yesterday, Nick spotted a well dressed couple and their two daughters who'd just finished up their Holiday Photos and asked "Mommy, is that the POTUS Barack Obama and his family?!? LOL LOL They really did fit the bill! He KNOWS they live "here" and that they have two daughters. I told him to ask. They were quite tickled. The Dad of the family told Nick he wasn't The President, but "YOU can be one day!" It was so cute. Children are awesome!
When we got home, they found Noel playing Uno with the other toys!
Tonight's Advent Calendar note and activity: CHRISTMAS CRAFTS!
I got these cute pre cut, peel & stick giant paper crafts kits from Target for $1/each. Gotta love a cheap thrill!

You know how you luck out every once in a while with the perfect picture? Maybe you're taking a photograph of your kids or grandchildren, when something about the lighting, their smiles and open eyes are in sync. The picture looks great.
If you've ever thought, "That's a one in a million shot," you're almost right. The perfect picture (above, and next page) took one photographer six years of trudging out to the woods, and standing in water, and snapping up to 600 pictures at a time for about 100 days a year, to get the perfect shot.
Alan McFadyen took 720,000 pictures of kingfishers before he snapped the perfect one. In this case, perfect means the precise millisecond before the bird causes a great, big splash as it dives in to catch a fish.
He was aiming to get a photograph that captured the kingfisher's beautiful coloring before it crashed into the water. Kingfishers fly into the water at about 25 mph.
To improve his odds of getting that shot, McFadyen built a bank by the lake out of clay. It was a place where the birds were safe from flooding, which is common in the area.
McFadyen started taking the pictures as a way to remember his grandfather. Forty years ago, his grandfather took him on trips to a lake to watch the kingfishers. That fond memory spurred him on, although his grandfather died in 1994.
He told reporters, "As a small boy of about six, I remember my grandfather taking me to see the kingfisher nest. I just remember being completely blown away by how magnificent the birds are."
You'll be blown away, too. See some of McFadyen's not-perfect shots on the next page.
Alan McFadyen took 720,000 photographs of kingfishers over a 4,200-hour stretch that lasted six years, before he got the perfect shot. These are some of his rejects.

Bi-Colour: Gold Medal, Feuerwerk, Flame/Hillbilly, Nature's Riddle, Ananas, Old German, Copia, German Gold
When I first counted all these up it came to 167 varieties. I assume that number hasn't changed unless I missed one/some while typing these up. We aim for a wide variety of colours, shapes and flavours. Some of these, like the Early Reds, will be cut down to less varieties each year as we decide which ones taste the best and produce the fastest. Others, like the Icicle and Sausage, will pretty much always be the varieties that are currently listed (unless you've created a new one!).
These are all open-pollinated varieties, almost exclusively heirloom and heritage types (there are a couple new open-pollinated types).
What's your favourite tomato to grow or eat? Are any of the ones on our list in your garden?

We have lived in Ruston, Louisiana since 1974. My huband, Larry, and I worked at Louisiana Tech University and both retired in 2013. We are presently building a house in the Straus Park subdivision on Brevard, North Carolina, which we hope is completed in October.
We will at that time leave the heat and humidity of LA behind for the cool of Western NC. This area of NC is close to a temperate rain forest which gets lots of rain and consequently is green. No forest fires for us!
I'm sending a "Hello" to my high school pal, Miriam Kuhn

AK47 Tee Shirt , Original Gun Tee Shirt Review
"Bang bang your dead, 40 bullets in your head" – Do you remember singing this song as a kid? It just came to mind and I find it quite inappropriate now, LOL. Funny how the times change! When this Tee was offered for review, I know it was perfect for Mariah's husband, as he served in the Marines for a long time. It is now so different and guns can be found all over the streets, but enough political BS here!
As I said, this really awesome, affordable gun tee shirt was sent to Mariah and upon discussion, we were quite pleased with the quality of the tee shirt once it arrived. Also, the pricing for the gun tees are quite affordable.
These Tees are not only cool to wear, they carry a message about our right to bear arms. That has become quite important and even granny is packing now. With the increase in violence over the years, I think if it is right for you, then you should take a class if you do not know how to shoot, learn how to hit right, and get your license. This is something we fought for hundreds of years ago and is still pertinent today! Also, the suffragets fought for the right to bare legs, and no one seems to complain about that *wink!
These neat AK47 shirts are made well and true to size when ordering. They cotton is prewashed and is nice and thick and soft to wear, and I am sure you would not be disappointed with one of these shirts, and show off your weapon!
I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

One of the challenges of baking my way through Dorie Greenspan's Baking Chez Moi with the Tuesdays With Dorie online baking group is that each recipe is brand new to me, and I never know if it is going to turn out well or not. The uncertainty lies more with my baking ability than with the recipes which are clear and well written. In any case I don't usually plan to serve my creations at a dinner party.
I made an exception this week with the pear tart, which I served at Canadian Thanksgiving dinner. It was a great success.
The recipe is straightforward. Make a shortbread crust, prepare a filling of pears cooked in butter and sugar, and top with a mixture of egg whites, confectioners' sugar, and sliced almonds, My only goof was forgetting to butter the pie pan before patting in the crust, which made the tart a bit hard to serve.

:: What I'm Wearing ::
Top: Gap {old; similar}
Jeans: BlankNYC {NSale}
Bag: Clare Vivier {similar save}
Shoes: Saint Laurent 'Tribute' Sandal {similar save}
Lipstick: Bite Beauty in Gazpacho
Ever since I got my hands on, or should I say, legs into my first pair of premium denim (over 10 years ago) I was hooked. My first pair were from 7 for All Mankind and they were their boot cut style. They fit me like a glove, were comfy, and they made me feel amazing every time I put them on. How could I not have been hooked, right?! They were the first premium denim brand I fell for and it was down hill from there. Over the years premium denim brands have come and gone and along with that the prices have gotten freakin' insane. Back then I could get a pair of 7FAM jeans on sale for around $80. Unreal right?! Nowadays it's almost impossible to get premium denim at that price unless you are scouring piles of sale racks and even then it's hit or miss.
I definitely always wait for sales to buy premium denim. The key is knowing the brand, style, and size you want so you can pounce as soon as you see that price drop. It's my strategy for all things designer and it works, you just need to be patient. My beloved brand Rag and Bone and recently loved brand Frame have some pairs that retail around $300, which is absolutely absurd. I refuse to pay more than $150 for jeans. So I'm always checking to see if they are on sale.
So while premium denim is a weakness of mine, I am always on the lookout for jeans that are of high quality, fit, and at a more reasonable price point. I've had some luck with Gap jeans. I have a couple pairs that I like but recently when I've gone to try on some newer styles something is off. So they haven't really been on my list lately.
Another brand that I've always liked is BlankNYC. I own a few of their jackets (worn here, here, and here). And it wasn't until last year that I bought my first pair of BlankNYC jeans (also worn here) and after a few wears I was sold.
Their jeans are super soft, the quality is great, and once you get your sizing down, they fit like a glove. The best part?! They retail for under $100 but on sale you can score them for around $60. Kind of amazing, right?! You basically get premium denim without the premium price tag. #WinWin I scored this dark wash pair recently as part of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. I actually bought a pair of AG Jeans but ended up returning them and ordered these instead. These are a high waist style which I wasn't sure I was going to like but these aren't crazy high waisted so it's not uncomfortable. This dark wash is beautiful, they are insanely soft and comfortable. As with my other Blank NYC jeans, I had to size down. I would recommend doing the same. They have a bit of a stretch and when sizing down they fit perfectly skinny without cutting off your circulation.
Do you have any denim brands you love that I should check out?
Update: I just checked and unfortunately The Mothership is really limited on sizes. They were fully stocked last night but keep checking their site if you want them. The sale doesn't end until Sunday night so you've got some time. Another option is to go to your local Nordstrom and have one of the sales associates check the in-store inventory for all of their stores. A lot of times they can find your size. And if all else fails, just be patient. I know these will go on sale again - my others did multiple times.

In any given three-month span, your most critical meeting may very well be your quarterly board read-out, or perhaps a leadership offsite where you discuss the innovation IT is driving to increase market share. I am here to tell you within each of those individual thirteen weeks, as an IT Leader, your 1x1s with your direct reports are your most important meetings. While these meetings are critical regardless of level, I believe they grow in importance as you move up within the organization, as you transition from managing work to managing people to managing people managers.
Why are they your most important weekly meetings? They help you build the relationships with your directs, and those improved relationships drive both the development of your team and the results for which both you and your team are accountable. Rare is the conversation, let alone repeated conversations, that hits that daily double.
The Internet is littered with white papers, articles, and podcasts on the structure and logistics of 1x1s. My take is that what is critical for these conversations to be effective, is what these discussions do not become: Specifically, that they become neither project readouts, nor venues to focus solely on topics you, as the manager, want to cover. As it relates to the former point, this is not to say key project updates should not be discussed at all, they absolutely should. The trick is ensuring that time is allocated for longer horizon topics, such as career development, to be covered. As it relates to the latter point, as the boss, there will always be opportunities for you to solicit responses to the open questions you have - how long does it take for your directs to return a text, call, or email on a hot item? Maybe the question that better drives this point home is how long does it take you to return a text, call, or email to your boss when she has a question on a hot item? Not long, I suspect. Your direct having an established outlet to comfortably raise points of discussion is what is important - strong professional relationships are not forged with one side living full time in response mode to the questions of the other.
If you are not holding 1x1s with your direct reports on regular and frequent basis (bi-weekly can be effective as well), you are missing an opportunity to maximize the value your team drives to the organization. If your direct reports are not having similar conversations with their directs, a similar chance to improve exists.

Lycopene –a potent antioxidant and anti-aging compound
Lycopene is a carotenoid (pigments produced by plants) and is the reason for the red colour in fruits and vegetables. It is a very beneficial substance, although unlike other carotenoids it does not convert to vitamin A when consumed. This means Lycopene is a directly active molecule and is used by the body as it is (Higdon 2004). Among its numerous benefits: the antioxidant and anti-aging properties of Lycopene are remarkable. It tends to be very effective on tissues which are high in fat or lipid content. Skin is high in lipids and that is why Lycopene plays such a significant role in protecting your skin.
Skin aging by UV radiations and Reactive Oxygen Species
All of the body's organs age with time, however, signs of aging are (by definition) more prominent on the skin, the largest organ. More to the point, skin is in direct contact with the environment and is more exposed to stresses (of the external environment in particular). Research shows that aging due to sun exposure (photo-aging) and time related aging processes are closely related. It means that exposure to UV radiation will speed up the process of appearance of wrinkles and pigmentation associated with aging (Fisher 2002).
Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), or oxygen radicals, advances the aging process of skin. Your skin is constantly under oxidative damage which leads to the appearance of wrinkles and pigmentation. Using antioxidants will impede the process of aging and keep the skin safe from oxidative stress (Masaki 2010).
Lycopene and the fight against anti-aging
Lycopene acts in three ways to slow down and reverse the process of aging:
- It acts as an antioxidant
- It acts as a sunscreen
- It plays a role in protecting your DNA
Lycopene as an anti-oxidant
Antioxidants are compounds that neutralize the free radical – they are also called 'free radical scavengers' – and protects against cell damage due to free reactive species of oxygen and nitrogen, among other things. Lycopene is probably the best antioxidant and even more potent than beta-carotene. It is a very good scavenger of oxygen radicals (Valko 2007).
Lycopene is also regarded as THE best anti-aging substance available in supplement form. The reason is that after reacting with oxygen radicals, it is regenerated. That is, it is not destroyed after the reaction. It is again available for the detoxification of the body from dangerous species.
It is interesting to note that Lycopene, as a potent antioxidant, not only decreases the process of aging of the body overall but also reduces the appearance of wrinkles and pigmentation due to sun exposure.
It is thought that sun rays damage the collagen in skin. Firmness of skin is due to bonds of collagen fibres. This collagen repairs imperfectly and skin loses its original structure. It leads to formation of 'solar scaring' and ultimately skin damage and wrinkles. Scientists suggest that by having an antioxidant treatment before-hand we can protect the body from damage.
Our skin also has supple protective enzymes and antioxidants but the skin's protective mechanism is improved by taking better nutrition and antioxidants (Pandel 2013). So, although application of Lycopene will be effective, consumption of Lycopene will have a more profound protective effect.
Lycopene as a sunscreen
Lycopene does help protect our skin from exposure to UV radiation. Its SPF (sun protection factor) rating is 3, and is a level that gives protection from indirect sunlight or the light which passes through a window. An additional benefit of Lycopene is the ability to adjust and normalize intercellular gap junction communication and thus further improving your skin's texture (Venket 2000). As Lycopene is destroyed by UV exposure, it is crucial that Lycopene is replaced; and a proven and reliable supplement intake is the best way to ensure that replacement!
The role in protecting DNA
DNA damage is a key aging process overall. By supplementing Lycopene in your diet, it plays a major role in stabilizing the DNA structure of your skin and maintains the DNA repair pathway.
Other benefits of Lycopene
Lycopene protects against heart attack (Rao 2003), reduces LDL 'bad cholesterol' level and protects against oxidative damage caused by LDL, it boosts the immune system and improves the communication between cells by enhancing intercellular gap junction communication. It is the most abundant carotenoid in prostate, testes and adrenal glands (Rao 2002). This indicates that it plays a significant role in reproductive system. Lycopene is found to reduce the risk of cancer and HIV. It is now being used to treat Alzheimer's disease, and hence it plays role in maintaining a healthy nervous system. It also helps to maintain hormonal balance and the overall metabolism of the body.
Why Lycopene should be taken?
As Lycopene is the major carotenoid in the human body, and it is also the most abundant carotenoid naturally occurring in the human body. Lycopene is found in tissues and plasma in high concentrations, but the level of Lycopene degrades with age. Regular intake of Lycopene will keep the body younger and healthier (Lycocard 2006). Among the multiple benefits it provides, it's role in anti-aging is noteworthy. It acts as an antioxidant, DNA damage protectant and a mild sunscreen. Lycopene slows down, as well as reverses, the signs of aging. By making this red pigmented compound a part of your daily diet, you can look and feel much younger!
The recommended daily intake is at least 35 mg.

How Many Calories?
A couple questions usually come up with new PIlates students or those considering Pilates:
- How many calories will I burn in a Pilates session?
- I need to build my strength, is Pilates enough for that?
These are excellent questions and worth exploring! We tend to look at calorie burn as the sole means to evaluate the effectiveness of an exercise. Often times we see fitness trends touting 700 calories burned in just 60 minutes or something similar. While it is true, in order to lose weight we must burn more calories than we take in, this is not the only measure of an exercises' effectiveness. I have found in my research that the average number of calories burned in a one hour Pilates session can range from 200 - 400 calories. I also know from personal experience fitbits, apple watches, heart rate monitors, and other fitness tracking devices do not give much credit for doing Pilates! Because much of the intensity is within the core and not caused by a vigorous movement - these devices do not register the work very well.
Much of Pilates contains an element of isometric work - holding a position or contraction/elongation of a muscle. We tend to see calorie counts spike higher on these devices with bigger movements. For example - you may register more calories burned doing a 10 lb bicep curls ... but I would argue holding a plank on the reformer for the same length of time will challenge your muscles more. Holding that plank will register on the fitbit as if you were stationary, unfortunately! Ask any of my students and they will tell you the plank is work regardless of what their watch says!
I always encourage my students not to worry about the calorie burn in a Pilates class as much as they worry about precise movements, and challenging themselves. With Pilates, we are developing all kinds of muscles. The beauty is the more muscles you have - the more calories you burn doing all of your other activities throughout the entire day. So if we consider the bicep curl again vs. plank - both of which challenge our arms ... the plank also develops muscles in the shoulders, core, and back leading to a higher metabolism overall. Pilates is brilliant in forcing the use of many muscle groups including smaller stabilizing muscles we may miss in other exercises. Throughout the day we may even burn more calories because of our Pilates work!
Let's also consider a standard crunch versus the roll up. The crunch will work our upper abdominals. The roll-up, however, forces us to use our lower, middle and upper abs as well as engage the muscles in the legs to hold them together and possibly our arms if we add a ring. We've turned core work into full body work with the roll up!
To answer the second question - I do believe we can attain ample strength training that we need for our everyday life with the Pilates equipment. The work we do in Pilates is very functional. We are working against unstable surfaces and tension - much like you may experience lifting a heavy suitcase into the overhead bin or bending to pick up a squirmy child. Our bicep curl may give us nice biceps but there is not an unpredictable nature in this work - and we are not conditioned for weight shift or instability. Very rarely in our real life is a movement so precious and stable! Pilates develops all the muscles - big and small!
I also believe cardio is important. This works our heart muscle. We do get some cardio in Pilates, but I think it optimal to find another source as well such as biking, running, hiking, walking or swimming. If you are attempting to lose a large amount of weight - this combination of the larger calorie burn from cardio and the longer term metabolism lift from Pilates is going to serve you very well.

6 Ways to Beat the Winter Blues
Find yourself getting a little bit crabby during the winter chill? Don't worry, you're not alone. As tempting as it can be to hide under the covers and have a bingeing session of Netflix – it's just as important to keep moving and social during the colder months. So this weekend, try hitting pause and working your way through our list.
1. Get outside
A contributing factor to that "down" feeling you get during those cold, dark and depressing winter months is often a lack of Vitamin D. If you work in an office, go for a lunch time lap around the block and soak in some rays! But don't forget to apply sunscreen, because the sun can still burn even if it doesn't feel like it.
2. Exercise
In the wise words of Elle Woods: "Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy." While she may have been referring to a certain high profile, fictional murder case – it's a life lesson we can all take on board.

The Voice Of God Series
Contributed by Antonio Silveira on Feb 18, 2012 (message contributor)
Summary: Sound was the first element of Creation The first thing that happened in Creation was The Word. "God said. Let there be light"
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He (Jesus) was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.
1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. 3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.
Sound was the first element of Creation
The first thing that happened in Creation was The Word. "God said. Let there be light"
Brian Greene: Albert Einstein dreamed of finding what he called a Unified Theory. By that he meant a single idea, a single principle, maybe even a single equation that might describe everything in the universe. He worked long and hard many decades to try to find the theory and he never did. Since his passing many physicists haven take up where he left off, and many of us believe then an approach called String Theory may be the Unified Theory that he was looking for. And the basic idea of the unified description of all matter is pretty straightforward. If you take any piece of material, say a piece of wood, cut it in half, cut it in half again, keep on cutting it to ever smaller pieces, the basic question is what's the smallest piece that you get to? What is the finest uncuttable constituent? Now we all know if you cut fine enough you get molecules, if you cut them up, you get atoms, if you cut them up even further you get other particles, electrons going around the nucleus with neutrons and protons, even though the neutrons and protons are smaller entities called quarks. The conventional idea stopped there. String Theory comes along and says "There may be one more layer of structure: inside an electron, inside a quark, inside any particle you have heard of, according to these ideas, is a little tiny filament. Looks like a tiny little string, that's why it's called String Theory, and the little strings can vibrate in different patterns."
So the idea is that, according to this theory an electron can be a string vibrating in one pattern. You can call it a middle C if you want, by the musical analogy, a quark could be a string vibrating at a different pattern like an A. So the difference between one particle and another is simply the note that its string is playing. And this is the unified description that this theory puts forward: everything can be reduced to the notes these fundamental strings are playing. Now that's metaphorical. There's math behind this, that allows us to see all of the key elements of physics can find a home in this description, but in a nutshell that's what this theory says.
What scientist really are saying is that sound signatures define what different molecules are and modern science says that string theory is connected to the theory of the Big Bang.
The Voice of God
Well today I am here to tell you that Science just found what we already know from the Bible that in the beginning was the sound of God's voice.
John describes the voice of God like this,
Revelation 1:10 - I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like the sound of a trumpet,
Psalms 47:5 - God has ascended with a shout, The LORD, with the sound of a trumpet.
A voice, a loud voice that sounds like a trumpet. I have never heard a voice that sounds like a trumpet but we get the idea of a loud vibration that is a voice because voices form Words.
Revelation 14:2 - And I heard a voice from heaven, like the sound of many waters and like the sound of loud thunder, and the voice which I heard was like the sound of harpists playing on their harps.
I don't know what do you think about this but it is obvious to me that God's voice is really hard to describe. I would say that most Biblical accounts have 2 things in common
1. It is Loud
2. Vibrates
Why does it matter? Well it is interesting to see that Science keeps finding things that we already know from the Bible.
Can you hear the voice of God?
Habakkuk knew the sound of God speaking to him (Hab. 2:2). Elijah described it as a still, small voice (I Kings 19:12). I had always listened for an inner audible voice, and God does speak that way at times. However, I have found that usually, God's voice comes as spontaneous thoughts, visions, feelings, or impressions.

Seattle is considered to be one of the most walkable cities in the United States, and public transit usage is quite high. The city's public transit system features a number of different operators and mode types, creating a diverse transit scene.
The primary bus operator in Seattle is King County Metro, which was founded in 1973 but can trace its roots back to the 1920s. Today, King County Metro operates over 1,800 buses on over 200 routes serving over 114 million passengers each year. In 2010, King County Metro began operating the RapidRide BRT system.
In the mid-1990s, the Central Puget Sound Regional Transit Authority was established as the area's regional transit authority. Today, under the Sound Transit banner, it operates express buses, two commuter rail lines, and a light rail line and oversees capital transit projects throughout the Seattle area.
The Seattle Center Monorail was built as part of the Century 21 Exposition in 1962 and continues to provide service between the Seattle Center and downtown Seattle. Although there have been plans to either expand the current line or to build a larger monorail network throughout the region, none of these plans have come to fruition.
King County Metro operates the 8th largest bus fleet in the United States with over 1,800 buses. Seattle was the first agency in the US to order articulated buses and has more articulated buses in its fleet than any other agency except New York City, and one of the first to order lift-equipped buses. In addition, KCM has a trolleybus network extending nearly 70 miles throughout the city.

When the Seattle Waterfront Streetcar began operation on May 29, 1982, it was Seattle's first streetcar line since April 13, 1941. However, service has been suspended since November 18, 2005 due to the demolition of the carbarn for the construction of the Olympic Sculpture Park. Some tracks were removed in 2012 due to construction on the Alaskan Way Viaduct Replacement project. Streetcar service was replaced by bus service using specially wrapped buses invoking a streetcar design, but those wraps are no longer used. While the Melbourne W2 trams that operated the line remain in storage, it is unclear if, when, and where within Seattle they will return to service.

Sound Transit is the brand name of the Central Puget Sound Regional Transit Authority. Sound Transit buses operate throughout King, Pierce, and Snohomish counties. Although Sound Transit oversees, plans, and funds the service, the operation of the routes themselves is contracted out to King County Metro, Pierce Transit, and Community Transit.

The Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel opened in 1990 and was designed for use by dual-mode buses built by Breda that would use electricity while driving through the tunnel and diesel while driving on the surface. After the tunnel was closed for refurbishment in 2005 to accommodate the Central Link light rail line, new diesel-electric hybrid buses were ordered as the post-refurbishment tunnel would not be able to accommodate both the light rail trains and buses relying upon the same electrical wires as a power source. The tunnel reopened in September 2007. Today, it is used by the Central Link light rail line, Sound Transit buses, and King County Metro buses.

The Seattle Center Monorail opened on March 24, 1962 to serve the Century 21 Exposition. Eight million people rode the monorail during the 6 months that the fair was open. Today, the monorail continues to serve two million passengers a year on the one mile route between Seattle Center and Westlake Center.

Abstract: Age, growth, and reproduction of the large-scaled gurnard were studied in the central Aegean Sea to provide fisheries managers with the essential data for science-based management. A total of 2342 samples were collected by trawl hauls between July 2004 and June 2007 from İzmir Bay (Turkey). The size of the samples ranged from 3.4 to 15.2 cm total length and the samples were composed of 35.2% females, 25.7% males and 39.1% immature individuals, with a female to male ratio of 1:0.73. The length-weight relationship was calculated as W = 0.0086L^{3.16} for all samples. The age composition of the samples was from I to VI and the estimated von Bertalanffy growth parameters were L_{\infinity} = 15.96 cm, W_{\infinity} = 54.35 g, t_o = -0.018 year, and k = 0.483 year^{-1}, with a growth performance index of 2.09 (\varphi^'). Reproduction started in February and continued to June. The total fecundity ranged from 503 to 10,046 oocytes/female and showed a significant correlation with fish length and weight. The size at first maturity was estimated at 10.55 cm total length and the maturity age was found to be 2-year-old in both sexes.
Keywords: Large-scaled gurnard, Lepidotrigla cavillone, age, growth, reproduction, Aegean Sea.

Cotton On Kids – New Room Range
Cotton On Kids have done it again. They've created another gorgeous range of children's bedding that has us too scared to hang it outside on the washing line. It's a certain robbery waiting to happen...
This is the second linen and room range from Cotton On Kids, and it is as equally as cool as the first range that was snapped up in record time.
This time round the collection is all about soft pastels, polka dots and tassels for girls, and for boys, it's brimming with bright block colours, bold zig zags and plenty of stripes.
Excitingly the new range also includes more décor and accessories like geometric printed lanterns, tulle-covered fairy lights, statement garlands and cute wall decals.
The new range is due to hit Australian and New Zealand stores in late-September. Get your trigger fingers ready as no doubt the range will sell out fast.

Adobe's Flash product may be one of the most widely used platforms for creating content on the web, but web content today is only as good as the number of people who see it. To help encourage the act of sharing, Adobe announced Monday a new product called Flash Platform Services for Distribution.
Adobe says the online distribution service allows developers to
make their applications compatible with most social networks and mobile operating systems, and will make content more easily shareable by users.
As Mitch Green, Director, Product Management, Adobe points out: "Once applications are social, they go everywhere."
Letting users share content is a major requirement for Adobe's continued success. 70% of online video is delivered in Flash and 80% of online games, but sharing Flash content is not always easy. The iPhone in particular has been a sticking point for Adobe as it does not yet support full Flash features.
But Adobe has now partnered with Gigya, a startup that helps developers distribute applications as widgets, to help make Flash creations more user friendly on social networks. The option to make applications shareable was already available to developers, but Gigya will make it much easier to do so without the use of complicated code. In addition, social network users can share Flash applications with or without advertising.
Adobe wants to make an even bigger play in social media and points out that 82% of the U.S. participates in social media. "It's the place where most Internet users start and end their day," says Green. "It is the center of their online experience."
Flash and Gigya support over 70 social media destinations at launch and expect more going forward.
Adobe is also interested in inserting itself in platfrom compliance. A spokesperson told me last week that Adobe wll have a social service later this year that will make sure apps created with Flash are functional across social media platforms:
"Today, if you are a developer who's trying to integrate application with social networks, life isn't easy for you."
The company is willing to take on the burden of keeing APIs functional and up to date across platforms because it wants to be an integral player in content creation online for years to come.
That's why the company is also shifting into data tracking. The Distribution Manager will also keep track how often an application is installed and many times it is used. Data services are clearly an interest area for Adobe, as the company has just offered $1.8 billion to buy analytics firm Omniture.
According to Adrian Ludwig, group manager for Flash: "The push toward services and providing support for measurement is something we have actively been pursuing for awhile now. This initiative — and others in the company — is to help people get the most value they can out of the platform."

The Chronicle
Natasha Chamba, Business Reporter
AIM-listed mining group, Caledonia Mining, has issued a total of 13, 137 securities to its staff as part of measures to empower them.
The securities have been issued in the form of depository interests representing shares in the company. In a business context, a security refers to a financial instrument that has monetary value and can be traded.
The group announced the development in a statement.
"Caledonia Mining Corporation Plc announces that following the maturing of a long term incentive plan award on June 8, 2019 a total of 13,137 securities in the company have been issued to a member of Caledonia's staff.
"The securities have been issued in the form of depositary interests representing shares in the company," reads statement.
Caledonia controls 49 percent shareholding in the Matabeleland South-based gold operation, Blanket Mine, and plans to increase its stake to 64 percent after the Government announced changes to ownership laws last year.
The group said an application has been made by Caledonia for the admission of the depository interests to trade on the AIM saying trading in such securities will commence this week on June 14.
AIM is a sub-market of the London Stock Exchange, launched on June 19, 1995.
It allows smaller, less-viable companies to float shares with a more flexible regulatory system than is applicable to the main market.
The company said it has a total common number of shares in issue of 10 763 041.
The company is currently seeking ways to deepen its investment in Zimbabwe despite the challenging economic conditions the country is facing.
The mine has been producing for a century despite a temporary shut-down from October 2008 to April 2009 at the height of Zimbabwe's economic woes.
Caledonia is expanding production at the mine in Gwanda and says it is confident the country's economy will recover from its problems to re-invest on a modest scale.

Four years into its current model cycle, the 2019 Mazda CX-9 continues to offer buyers a sensuous design, wide array of advanced safety features, and a cabin that rivals many luxury brands.

But it remains held back by an awkward infotainment interface, middling cargo volume, and a stiff ride with too much road and wind noise on models with larger wheels.

Wiggin and Dana Attorneys Help Draft New Legislation Geared Towards Startups
New Haven - Wiggin and Dana attorneys Frank Marco and Bill Kilgallen recently worked with U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), who was joined by U.S. Senators John Thune (R-S.D.), Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) and Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii), as well as U.S. Congressmen Brad Schneider (D-Ill.), Steve Chabot (R-Ohio) and the Angel Capital Association, to draft proposed legislation that would clarify the ability of entrepreneurs to pitch their businesses at investor forums without running afoul of regulations that restrict general solicitation.
Introduced on June 19, 2014, the Helping Angels Lead Our Startups (HALOS) Act would require the SEC to remove the uncertainty created when it adopted rules pursuant to the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act. These rules currently place companies and investors participating in investor forums such as "demo days" at risk of onerous requirements, including the need for investors to disclose personal financial details. This requirement can interfere with these events and deter investors from backing startups, which impacts their ability to grow their business. For more information about the HALOS Act, please see the advisory titled "HALOS Bill Seeks to Remove Uncertainty That May Burden Investor Forums and Similar Events."
Investor forums such as "demo days" are used by startup companies to pitch their businesses. "These events have become an increasingly important tool for capital formation over the years, particularly due to the expanding role of angel investors and the desire by trade associations, universities and others to help facilitate capital formation and economic development," comments Frank Marco, Chair of the firm's Emerging Companies and Private Equity Practice. "We are grateful for the opportunity to work with the Angel Capital Association and Senator Murphy's office on the drafting of this bill."
Attorneys in Wiggin and Dana's Emerging Companies and Private Equity Practice work with startup companies to ensure that they are structured appropriately and to assist them in removing obstacles to growth. The practice is committed to fostering a hub of talent, technology and innovation among the entrepreneurial community. Attorneys in this practice are leaders in many of the region's technology and venture capital trade organizations and frequently lecture on founding and financing emerging companies.

From spring to autumn Lake Constance is a very popular tourist attraction. Many people even compare it to the Italian Riviera, due to the similar climate. During winter the weather is cold, cloudy and foggy but in the summer time it`s really lovely. Of course, sometimes there are also still rainy days but the sun is definitely on the march!
For some more precise information about the weather at Lake Constance, please click here: Lake Constance`s weather conditions.
If you go there between June and September, you surely don`t need winter clothes. But don`t miss to take at least one pair of trousers and a pullover (or at any rate a cardigan) in addition to a coat with you. So you should be well equipped.
Furthermore: Lake Constance is no desert but quite densely populated. There you can find several malls and many shops where you also can buy some new clothes. So it should also be no problem if the weather is better or worse than you had expected.
Young girls and women love H&M (for example in Konstanz, Friedrichshafen or Singen). I prefer C&A (for example in Konstanz, Friedrichshafen, Radolfzell, Ravensburg) where clothes for the whole family, from baby (some very cute outfits!) to granny, are offered. The prices are quite similar to H&M. There is also a C&A webshop: just have a look at clothes and prices (therefor you don`t have to speak German). You don`t like anything? Doen`t matter: there are lots of smaller clothing stores around Lake Constance – and maybe the clothes in your luggage assort well with the climate so that you don`t have to need to buy new clothes.
Talking of the weather at Lake Constance: yes, sometimes there is a severe weather. But in all the years (over 20 by now!) I have been at Lake Constance I just experienced only one violent storm. It was quite exciting… and the next day the sun was shining and everything was fine again.
