The Irishman saw his side take a deserved lead through Danny Higginbotham's first goal for the club after passing up a series of earlier opportunities, and was off his seat as former Magpie Michael Chopra powered a header against the crossbar with eight minutes remaining.
However, by then James Milner had levelled when his 65th-minute cross crept inside Craig Gordon's far post to punish the Wearsiders for their profligacy, and Keane said: "If we keep missing the chances we did, it is very hard to win any game. But I am pleased with the performance and the attitude of the players and the spirit with which they played."
He added: "The priority for any derby match is certainly don't lose it, and we did not do that, so we will take the pluses."
Newcastle boss Allardyce was delighted to end a run of two successive defeats and a three-game wait for a point on the road.
He said: "I am not bothered whether we were fortunate or not. You just don't lose a derby and we haven't, which is very, very important indeed.
"Under the circumstances when our away form in our last two games was very poor, it was important to put that right, and we had to put it right in a game like this which we could not afford to lose.
"We came back from a goal down as well, which is the first time we have got back into a game from a goal down and got something out of the game away from home this season."
A competitive encounter almost boiled over just before the break when Joey Barton and Dickson Etuhu clashed after a late challenge by the Newcastle man, although Keane was unconcerned.
He said: "I am not going to get bogged down by a tackle that was slightly high. That happens in these games, a lot of them are mistimed. You give and you take. Dickson is a tough lad. He is alive in that dressing room, he won't be leaving on a stretcher."

Surely if a piddling little village like Hay-on-Wye can rig up a worldclass literary festival, our bustling metropolis can rouse itself for a couple of weeks of book chat?
The London Literature Festival is now in its second year. A glance at the programme reveals an array of lectures, debates, performances, readings and interactive experiences scheduled over the next two weeks to compete with most of what they can mount on the Welsh Marches.
This weekend alone sees the whimsical comedian Josie Long offering what she deems a " Splendid Evening" (tomorrow, 7.30pm, QEH), a Best of the Booker Prize debate (tomorrow, 7.45pm, Purcell Room) and Dirty Books, a celebration of written pornography (tomorrow, 8pm, RFH Pavilion).
There are those who argue that literature ought to remain a private thing, who find solace in the Italian poet Leopardi: "We are all aware of the unspeakable annoyance we feel when listening to someone else's work," he complained, suggesting that authors reading their own books aloud showcased only "the puerility of human nature".
However, it's a fair bet that Leopardi never attended Book Slam! or B Club, or any of the hip literary club nights which have made London's spoken-word scene among the most vibrant in the world.
This urban strain is represented at the festival by events such as Fresh on the Stage, a spiky evening of verse curated by Riz MC and Yemisi Blake (tomorrow 10pm, Front Room), Lemn Sissay's free rooftop performance (Sat 12 July, 1pm, 3pm, 5pm, Hayward) and a "London Liming" session featuring Philadelphia street poet Ursula Rucker and beatboxer Shlomo (Sunday 13 July, 7.45pm, QEH). You don't find that at Hay.
More traditional chinwagging is provided by the ever-engaging Tony Benn, in discussion with Tory rebel David Davis (Monday, 7.30pm, QEH); and Zaha Hadid, Antony Gormley and others chewing the fat on architecture (Wednesday 9 July, 7pm, QEH). And there's much more besides, as a tour of the website will reveal. Most events are ticketed, with discounts for multiple bookings.
From tomorrow until 19 July (0871 663 2586, www. londonlitfest.com).

Thanks for helping!
I used to love KFC, but it is awful now. Expensive, crummy salads, and tiny pieces of greasy chicken. Do nor recommend at all, sorry.
Will travel a little further in the future. The chicken coating had a very distinct stale flour flavour.
food is generally good but sometimes it can be greasy, staff are usually very good to remind you of the deals and try to offer the best price for you
The chicken is obviously great tasting. My rate of "poor" is specifically for the customer service I received. One of the workers was out from behind the counter visiting with her friend and her friend's child. They weren't busy...so I guess that was ok. But it was the actual worker that served us that the "poor" rating is really for....
We tried on four different times to get chicken for our family supper. 3 out of the 4 times there was a 20 min wait for the chicken and once they had NO chicken at all! Very poor management.
Terrible service, long waits, not that customer friendly, can't wait for another local town to open one!
Tuesday's are the best day here 2 piece chicken andchips for 3.25 really good deal. Friendly staff. .but carry out only. No sit in facilities.
the pieces of chicken are getting so small. they charge an arm and a leg just for white meat.and the quality is gone down it is to greasy or dried out because it has been sitting there to long.Have gotten home to find our fries cold or order screwed up.Not going back again to many restaurants i can go to...
This is the third time that I have ordered chicken with instructions for certain pieces, only to get home and find out that they ignored my request. If you don't want to give me what I want then don't say that you will!
For a KFC I have never seen a store that runs out of food so much, when the only product you sell is chicken they often have none or no white meat only dark meat.

Congratulating Aam Aadmi Party for its impressive show in Delhi polls, head of All India Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe Mahasangh Udit Raj had asked Kejriwal why he was not forming the government in Delhi despite getting a favourable mandate from people.
In a statement, Raj said that Kejriwal should form the government and implement the promises made during elections such as reduction in power tariff by 50% and regularization of jobs of safari karamcharis. He added that AAP can implement all its promises made in the manifesto if it forms the government.
He also added that if AAP forms a government it can regularise unauthorised colonies and can start the fight against corruption. "People want to see how you (Kejriwal) will implement the promises," he said.
He also posed another question to Kejriwal on how many days he would scrap reservation for the SCs and STs scrapped. Raj recalled that Kejriwal in 2008 had announced that he will end reservation for the two communities at a function in Jawaharlal Nehru stadium.

I love great northern guns. When I was homeless they took me in. I am able to roam around and climb on the counters. People come in and pet me, the workers feed me, and clean out my potty box. And I hear things that no one thinks I am hearing.\r For 43 years Great Northern Guns has been a part of Anchorage. It has remained fairly unchanged over the years. Yes it is small, yes there are only 4 guys behind the counter usually, yes they do serve coffee for free every day and have goodies on the counter for those who care to endulge. They are straight forward, honest, integrable men who will help you with anything if you ask.\r Some may wonder why are they priced little over the competition? Well, large companies receive great kickbacks and discounts because of the volume that they order, great for them bad for a small shop. They do pay aproximately half for used gun purchases, as you may know anyone looking for a deal is going to throw out a lower offer on the gun hence the higher price. Some may think they are making alot of money on their gun sales, those people would be wrong.\r Stop by and see me and the guys anytime. We would love to see you. I may even let you pet me if I am on the counter.\r

If you have been to a gun show then you have heard his speal and have been handed one of those bright cards. He is honest to what it sais. 10 percent above costs. This mans business supports his familys. It is built with Trust and Honesty. Even in his familys he is looked up to.\r His memory is not always that great but he will tell you so himself, so he never knows what all he has. He will go out of his way to see if he has what you want at the price you want to get it at. My review could be considered a little sided to be honest though because I am a niece in law.

As per the financial indicators of 2015, the financial institution Transact Pro is among the Top 250 fastest growing companies in Latvia and has taken first place among the financial and insurance providers by showing the fastest turnover growth.
In evaluating the fastest growing firms in Latvia overall, Transact Pro was in 15th place. This result came in spite of the traditional leaders in the construction, retail and wholesale company sectors. Our closest competitor in the financial and insurance sector only took 63rd place among the top 250 companies. The Top 250 list was prepared by Grand Thornton Baltic in cooperation with Lursoft.
"Achieving such exceptional growth for the company was possible thanks to our new product and service introduction, our technological solutions and new business focus development, "stated Transact Pro board member Maksims Jarosevskis. In 2015, Transact Pro became a Visa Europe member and also received Master Card International and Visa Europe Acquiring licenses.
"People want concrete solutions for concrete applications. In the near future, it is highly probable that traditional bank products and innovative tools will work in tandem making the customer interface in financial services even more convenient. In fact, the largest European bank infrastructure is being expanded to include new departments working in new product research and testing in biometrics, "blockchain" technology, customer behavioral analysis and other interesting areas. As a result, vast, innovative improvements await the financial sector. Unfortunately, these innovations are arriving with delays into the Latvian market. This can be seen with the contactless payment card introduction into Latvia, which had already been in the U.K. since 2007, '' stressed the Transact Pro head of development Jurijs Bordulans.
In 2015, taken together and as per Lursoft data, the fastest turnover growth was in the areas of construction, real estate and for wholesale & retail companies. On the list of the fastest growing companies the first twenty also had companies from the road construction and transport services.
About Transact Pro
Transact Pro is a licensed financial institution and has been operating successfully in the area of electronic financial services since 2004. The company has principal memberships with VISA One and MasterCard Worldwide (cross-border card acquiring and issuing), SEPA and SWIFT.

We want to build an extension to our house, in a conservation area, to make sure that the house will be suitable for my wife; who has Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis. We are at the pre-planning advice stage of applying for planning permission.
After a little negotiation, the planning officer and the conservation officer seem to be slowly warming to our plans and have indicated that our latest proposal is likely to be considered favourably.
The fly in the ointment is that the highways officer is saying that because we are adding a disability adapted bedroom, this proposal will need another parking space to satisfy their regulations. Our house was built in one of the oldest parts of the town and has never had any parking space so this requirement is impossible to comply with. We use the nearest on street parking and since my wife is no longer able to drive we have just one car, so quite how our proposal causes us to need another parking space is a mystery.
Because the roads near our house are also fairly narrow, they are stating that there will be difficulties with delivery of materials and construction vehicles – however, many people in our immediate neighbourhood have had construction work done very recently and there is a house just around the corner that has even tighter road restrictions but has just been granted planning permission.
Finally, the highways officer makes assumptions about my wife's illness and states that she will need more frequent visits from the doctor and may need emergency vehicle access which will exacerbate the parking problems in the neighbourhood and lead to residents complaints – quite how the highways officer has enough medical knowledge to pronounce on whether and how often we will need doctors and ambulances is a mystery; also, having lived here for 28 years we know how to negotiate with our neighbours about parking if any of us need any special access – people have delivery vehicles all the time ranging from couriers white vans, heavyside building materials for gardens, delivery trucks with furniture and white goods…the list goes on.
But for all the reasons given the highways officer is not supporting our proposal – also citing traffic management issues on the public highway (our road has no through traffic)
My wife is well known and popular in the area and has a huge amount of support and empathy from our neighbours, most of whom are aghast at the intransigence shown here.
Does anybody know how much weight the highways officer's support carries in the planning decision? Also, since other residents have had construction work carried out, without any such conditions, is it even legal to discriminate against a disabled person on the grounds that they may need a doctor's visit?
Sorry about the rant but I am feeling so frustrated with what seems to me to be a ludicrous situation.

If you are suspected of driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, you may be arrested for DUI (driving under the influence). Depending on the state, the specific crime is also called DWI (driving while intoxicated), OUI (operating under the influence), or OWI (operating while intoxicated). A DUI conviction has serious consequences (for example, losing your driving privileges); but an experienced DUI attorney can often get the charges dropped or reduced, or may be able to negotiate lesser penalties depending on your circumstances and your past history.

Illumina Bespoke Sequencing (Low Throughput)
Our Research and Approach
We provide faculty with access to products and processes that cannot be supported by the high throughput team. This is an important part of our sequencing strategy as we seek to provide the greatest range and scale of sequencing solutions across a range of sample types, species and library types.
DNA Pipelines provides genome analysis services for the Institute's Faculty. The Pipelines process DNA, RNA and tissue samples received from internal and external sources to generate sequence, genotype and copy number information. The Operations group oversees the delivery of this high-quality data via a range of technologies and platforms.
DNA Pipelines Operations is split into:
- Sample Management
- Illumina Sequencing
- Supplementary platforms that include PacBio, Genotyping, Microarray and Optical Mapping.
Illumina Sequencing
The Illumina Sequencing platform uses Illumina HiSeqs and the HiSeq X Ten system, delivered by a high-throughput team and a bespoke team. The capacity of these machines allows the teams to combine multiple sample libraries into a single lane, routinely generating more than 600 Gigabases (Gb) per run (anticipated to rise to 1Tb per run with upgrades). To ensure our processes are robust and scalable, we seek to conform to the standards of Good Clinical Laboratory Practice (GCLP).
The Illumina Sequencing platform delivered more than 70,000 libraries and 12,000 lanes in 2013 across a range of library types, and a total of 400 Terabases (Tb) of data. In addition, there has been an improvement in quality control, with our Libraries now meeting a 99–100 per cent pass rate and a reduction in sequencing lane failure rates to less than 5 per cent.
We are part of the wider Illumina sequencing team that generates data for all of the faculty research programmes at the Sanger Institute.
Bespoke Illumina Team
In the Bespoke team, we use our resources to support samples that cannot be handled by processes in the high throughput team. This might be due to insufficient DNA, poor sample performance within standard processes or a requirement for a novel library type.
In this way, we spend more resources per sample in order to generate the sequencing data at the required quality.
Our current library types include:
- no PCR
- Stranded RNA
- ChIP (all manual and semi automated)
- Small RNA,
- qPCR only (quantification only)

Detectives investigating the murder of a grandmother while she house-sat for friends are offering a £10,000 reward for information leading to the conviction of her killer.
More than 200 people have been interviewed since the body of Valerie Graves was found with serious head and facial injuries in a ground-floor bedroom at a waterside property in Smugglers Lane, Bosham, near Chichester, on December 30.
The seaside village featured in an episode of TV drama Midsomer Murders.
Sussex police have also taken more than 100 statements but feel there may still be witnesses who have not come forward.
Ms Graves, a 55-year-old artist, was beaten to death as she house-sat with her mother, sister and her sister's partner while the owners were on holiday abroad over Christmas.
A 22-year-old man arrested on suspicion of her murder in January was later released on bail.
Police have previously released an image of a hammer found nearby which is believed to be the murder weapon. They also received about 20 calls following a BBC Crimewatch appeal in January.
Detective Superintendent Nick May, of Surrey and Sussex major crime team, said: "We know that a hammer, found nearby in Hoe Lane, was used by the offender and we are seeking the public's help to catch this person before they hurt someone else."Reuse content

An idyllic day's walking, the first in a week heading south-west along the river Doubs. A narrow valley flanked by frowning limestone cliffs, golden wheatfields and deep-green woods, frogs calling from the riverbank, buzzards mewing in a brilliant blue sky. The tarmac towpath shimmers in the heat: this would be perfect cycling territory, but it's hard on the feet. By 2pm the heat is crippling. Stop on a shady shingle bank and watch the local kids throw stones - and each other - into the river.
Press on in the evening sunshine to just outside the village of Chaleze. Ask a local: "Is there anywhere I can camp here?" "Yes, my back garden." Spend the evening playing basketball with his children and helping them with their English homework. A hint of panic in the air: their exams start tomorrow.
14 and 15 June
Besancon, a city overwhelmed by its colossal 17th-century fortress, now home to the museums of local history, natural history and the Resistance, an insectarium, noctarium and park. Oh, and the zoo. Spend the afternoon in the Resistance museum - not for the faint-hearted, it portrays resistance, collaboration and the Holocaust with equal thoroughness. Emerge greatly sobered, ask a local priest if there's anywhere for pilgrims to sleep here. Eagerly, he leads me to the side of the citadel hill. "Voila!"
It's a cave. Merci, mon pere...
Spend all 15 June busking. Approached by a classic tramp: unshaven, ragged, smelly, does he want money? No, he's canvassing for the Greens. Now I understand their slump in the polls. After last night's accommodation, opt for the luxury of the campsite, "a short walk" from the tourist office. Follow the signs ... and follow the signs ... and arrive two hours later. Back in Chaleze. I have to laugh, it's that or fire-bomb the tourist office.
17 June
Past the village of Evans to the grotte d'Osselles, home to 3,000 fossilised cave-bears and 30-odd children aged two to four, whose happy voices (and wails) fill the air. Feel like I'm trespassing on the set of Snow White, especially when the teachers start singing "Hi-ho, hi-ho..." The caves are magnificent, full of multicoloured rock formations like a thousand veiled statues. They extend for miles. I'd love to explore, but the guide keeps us on a tight rein. Pity.
18 June
Reach Dole, ancient capital of the region. Stop a passer-by, ask if they know a cheap hotel. Horrified stare, then, "Sorry, did you say brothel?" Evidently my French needs some work.

Once again, the militants of the National Association of friendship Italia-Cuba Circle of Roma have expressed its solidarity with the five Cuban anti-terrorist fighters imprisoned for almost 14 years in the United States. This time Roman members of the Italia-Cuba Association have chosen 5 famous places of the Italian capital to display a banner that read: "Freedom for the Cuban Five prisoners in the United States."On this occasion, for the first time since the start of the international campaign of solidarity with the five, was exposed a banner at the famous square at Trevi Fountain, destination for hundreds of thousands of tourists who visit the eternal city.
Other places were the Coliseum, the famous and central Via dei Serpenti, the statue of the hero of two worlds, Garibaldi and the balcony of the Janículo.
Today's event is part of the international campaign "the 5th of each month by the Cuban Five." Once again, with this action activists, pledged to continue the struggle for the freedom of five anti-terrorist prisoners in the United States, to denounce the terrorist organizations of the community of Cuban exiles in Miami Florida and the double standards of the Government in Washington in the fight against terrorism.

Hillary Clinton was for racial profiling of Muslims and anyone else meant to cause the United States harm. Of course this was immediately after 9/11 and she wasn't running for President of the United States. "We have to do whatever it takes to keep Americans safe." Hmmmm, isn't that what Donald Trump is saying now? Why is he a racist now and she was never called one?
Profiling no longer fits her narrative now so the tune has changed. Donald Trump wants extreme vetting of muslims entering the United States. Hillary no longer wants that to happen and according to her and her supporters Trump is a racist. Last time we checked, wanting to keep Americans safe was the job of the President. Why isn't Hillary concerned with this at all anymore? America is more unsafe than it has ever been before. Why would a potential next president blow off such security measures?
Watch the video below of the true flip-flopping Clinton.

We are safely home on Rue Chavigneau. We arrived this morning at 4:30 after 20 hours on the road. Mark and I took 2-hour driving shifts. That wasn't too bad except for my last turn which was from 12:45 until 2:45. The boys were asleep, Mark was trying to sleep, and I was navigating my way through Montreal and umpteen work zones and closed exits and blinking arrows. I so badly wanted to be done. I really wanted my bed. And then I, with much relief, switched places with Mark after I'd pulled over to the side of the road. The next thing I knew, we were pulling into our driveway.
We all crawled into bed and slept until about 9:00. Then after a quick trip to the grocery store for a few supplies and a quick egg-toast-strawberry breakfast (and lots of coffee), we started the job of unloading and unpacking. There are still a couple of suitcases to unpack, but pretty much everything else has found its home, a couple loads of laundry have been done, the flat tire has been repaired on the van that stayed here, and there was even some time for fun with our friend, Élie. (He said, "It's been a long time since I've eaten supper with you.")
And now I'm falling sleep as I type, so I'll wrap this up. Tomorrow...our favorite parts of our Indiana summer.

|DO NOT REPLY [Bug 47373] Zip.java patch to support setting last modified date
|Wed, 24 Jun 2009 14:30:28 GMT
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=47373 --- Comment #18 from Mark Farnsworth <firstname.lastname@example.com> 2009-06-24 07:30:22 PST --- I like the idea of <fixlastmodified/> but given the historical use of <zip/>, et al it may make sense to support multiple techniques. The current roundup option at the <zip/> layer is actually conceptually similar and as such IMHO it makes sense to provide the user the option to set datetime attribute at <zip/>. We could support datetime and pattern attributes on <zip/>, <ear/>, <jar/>, <war/>, <tar/>, <touch/>, <zipfileset/> and <fixlastmodified/>. Providing the user syntactical options in this area seems like a good thing. That said support for <fixlastmodified/> is the cleanest technique and if we decide to support only one syntax I think this is the best option although it would mean reworking my patch :( If we decide to support multiple options I think my patch as is implements the support for <zip/>. Viewing the other tags as independent issues and patches makes thing simple and then when the support is in place syntactically we could make a follow on patch to unify the implementation to provide a common class similar to (org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Touch.DateFormatFactory). Making the DateFormatFactory a package scope helper class seems like a good idea because then all the tags could use consistent implementation. (my patch currently uses an equivalent parsing technique for dates). Still given the nature of the problem the simple solution is to simply include the zip patch as is and provide support for now. The patch provides the function needed for most usage using the <zip/> syntax. Given the niche nature of the core issue it might be reasonable to simply leave the support only at <zip/> (i.e. I don't think we have universal support for the roundup attribute) -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.

Why You Should Soak Your Nuts
As someone who eats a great deal of raw food, for me soaking my nuts before I eat them is imperative. When I get busy, lazy, or careless I sometimes forget, but my digestion always pays for neglecting that essential step. Adopting a high raw diet is about trying to consume foods with as much life force as possible. Nuts and seeds are full of enzymes while in their raw, natural forms but when they are toasted, roasted, fried, or boiled the enzymes are destroyed. Raw nuts and seeds are plant foods which also contain the ingestible substance phytic acid, which acts as an inhibitor developed to form a protective barrier from bugs or insects, but in humans can block enzyme function. Nuts and seeds will not break down into their simplest forms during digestion when protein inhibitors are present. Phytic acid also prevents us from using and maintaining key micronutrients as the molecular structure causes essential minerals (including calcium, zinc, niacin, copper, iron and magnesium) to bind to it, thereby preventing their absorption. Soaking nuts releases phytase, allowing the phytic acid to be neutralized and making the nuts easier for our bodies' to digest. If you are feeling lazy or pressed for time, soaking your nuts overnight is a great way to prep for the morning especially if you are making nut milk. If you want to take your nuts as a snack on-the-go and want them crunchier, pop them in the dehydrator and go about your business for the day. For extra fun add spices or even maple syrup to your nuts when dehydrating. -XO Raw Girl

Mineral Monday : Iodine
What mineral is required for thyroid hormone synthesis, regulates cortisol and immune function, and is a powerful antioxidant? Iodine, which may seem like an insignificant mineral is required for all of those things and more. Currently the world is using less and less iodized salt for preparation in food, and this places many of us in danger of becoming iodine deficient. Deficiency in iodine causes abnormal swelling of the neck or goiter, lethargy, fatigue, weakness of the immune system, slow metabolism, autism, weight gain, depression, and in women, iodine is essential for maintaining breast health. Breast cancer incidences in Japan are virtually nonexistent because women consume twenty five times the amount of iodine that American women do. Iodine deficiency is also the most preventable cause of brain damage. Pregnant women who are deficient are at higher risk for having a stillborn child or one with birth defects. For veggie lovers who are vegetarian or vegan, if you are not including seaweed in your diet, you are putting yourself at greater risk for deficiency. Is it me, or did seaweed all of sudden get really sexy? Keep in mind you can add seaweed to soups, make nori wraps or veggie sushi, sprinkle dulse flakes on your salads, and more to ensure you get your iodine in.
The recommended daily allowance for adults over 19 years of age iodine is 150 micrograms daily. It's important to not consume too much iodine because toxicity can also cause health problems such as gastrointestinal upset, acne, increased salivation, fever, nausea, vomiting, and elevated levels of thyroid hormone. The best way to boost your iodine intake on a vegetarian diet is to incorporate sea vegetables into your diet such as: kelp, dulse, nori, wakame, arame, hiziki, kombu, irish moss. Black eye peas and navy beans also have a decent amount of iodine, strawberries, cranberries, organic yogurt, navy beans, cheese, and potatoes.
Most minerals have inhibitors, or nutrients that can block the proper absorption and uptake by the body. In the case of iodine, goitrogens are substances in chemicals, foods or drugs that can interfere with iron uptake in the thyroid gland. Goitrogens are found in soy products, cassava, sweet potato, peanuts, pine nuts, raw cruciferous vegetables such as cabbage, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, turnips etc. Don't get spooked about consuming these foods, which have other nutrients that are beneficial to the body; just take care especially if focused on increasing iodine intake to not consume meals with these foods at the same time of iodine supplementation.
Ensuring that your iodine intake is optimal can prevent radiation induced thyroid cancer, decrease the pain of fibrocystic breasts, and also prevent mental retardation, which is a direct result of iodine deficiency. Although it is not always the first mineral that comes to mind are essential, clearly the lack of iodine can have a drastic impact on health. Hope this article inspires you to do a double take when you pass the seaweed in the grocery store! Just make sure that the seaweed you choose to consume is organic and free of heavy metals. -XO Raw Girl

Baobab, The Amazing Queen of "Superfruits"
Until my travels to Ghana, I knew nothing about one of Africa's best-kept secrets, one of the most nutrient dense fruits on the planet, baobab. African baobab (Adansonia digitata L.) has been dubbed the "tree of life," due to it's exceptional nutritional profile and all parts of the tree being used for food, drinks, to feed animals, medicine, and even fibers used for weaving. Baobab grows on large and strangely gorgeous trees that look like something out of a fairy tale and take up to 200 years to mature and produce fruit. YEP that's right, 200 years. Meaning if you planted a baobab tree today you would not live to see it grow into its full glory. Not only do they take a long time to mature, but they live long: the oldest recorded living baobab tree thus far was 1,000 years old. The fruit of baobab is football sized and the pulp of the fruit is white and powdery with a sweet, slightly tangy taste.
This strange but fantastic fruit packs in a jaw-dropping amount of nutrition: it has four times the potassium of bananas, two times the calcium of milk, and twelve times the fiber of an apple. Baobab is made up of almost 50% fiber that is soluble and pre-biotic; meaning ingesting it promotes the growth of good bacteria in the guy. The fruit actually has more soluble fiber than psyllium, which is used in laxatives to boost elimination and maintain a healthy digestive tract. You can consume baobab in powder form, adding it to shakes, smoothies, and even use it as a natural sugar replacement. Now that the word is spreading you will find bars and nutritional supplements with baobab as an ingredient as well. I'm sure if you have the chance to try it, you'll understand why this unique fruit with a funny name is aptly called the "Queen of Superfruits."

How Taking Your Vitamins Can Change Your Life
One multivitamin a day, may keep the doctor at bay and get you closer to achieving the goal of optimal health if combined with a healthy diet. Yesterday I watched "That Vitamin Movie." I found the film absolutely riveting and believe it is a must-see for every human being on this planet right now. Most of us in the health world are already of the mind that we should, "Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food," as Hippocrates once said. But the inevitable truth is that in our modern times not only is the Standard American Diet horrifying low in any real nutrition, even those of us living on plant-based organic diets can still fall short of the mark because the nutrient density of food is diminishing over time. It's also really difficult to juggle work, life, school, babies, and whatever else life throws at us and still manage to create a meal plan for ourselves that gives our body the nutrition it needs. Unless you have a fabulous chef named Francisco on call, (which I dream about all the time), you know exactly what I mean. And our body will not function optimally without vitamins, which serve as coenzymes for major chemical reactions. If we don't get the micronutrients we need, some reactions in the body simply won't happen and this will leave us running on empty and susceptible to disease.
The great news is vitamin supplementation can save the day! Do you take a daily multivitamin? After watching the vitamin movie you will realize that taking one after every meal may not be a bad idea. In fact, they gave a cheap multivitamin to prisoners after every meal and it significantly altered the mental state of those who partook. Megadose vitamin therapy, which is basically taking seemingly very high dosages of vitamins that can't necessarily be found over the counter is something many of us have never thought of doing when we get ill. Why do this? Well, people have cured cancers, chronic fatigue and pain problems, depression and even yeast infections by taking high doses of vitamins. The best part? No one has ever died from taking too much of a vitamin, while millions are dying from taking prescription drugs. Vitamins are not only cheaper than drugs, they can also be more effective. There was more than one account in the film of people with cancer who took megadoses of vitamin C and recovered. There was even a young girl who had an adverse reaction to a vaccine and was having convulsions, who was cured by a doctor in Japan, with high doses of vitamin C.
After one year eating 100% raw, I realized that my health was not optimal because I was not supplementing. That is when I started the practice of incorporating superfoods into my diet daily to ensure my body was getting adequate nutrition. Vitamins are just as essential and even more useful especially if you don't have time to make a superfood smoothie. In the film it's recommended that EVERYONE take up to 16,000 mg of vitamin C daily, and also ensure vitamin D levels are met in order to boost immunity. Getting enough vitamin C can also improve athletic performance. In the film they told the story of the Puerto Rican basketball team that beat the American Dream Team at the Olympics after taking intravenous vitamin C therapy. Two separate studies conducted on HIV patients, one of which was at Harvard University medical school showed that HIV patients who took vitamins were half as likely to progress to AIDS as those who did not take any vitamins.
Physical health is not the only facet of wellness that can be affected by taking your vitamins. Niacin or vitamin B3 has been shown to dramatically accelerate recovery from alcohol withdrawal related depression. Taking Niacin can also naturally lower cholesterol without the same dangers and potential side effects as taking prescription drugs. Studies have proven that there is a brain-gut connection; and the healthier your gut is, the easier you will be able to deal with stress and more likely you are able to withstand the unexpected with level emotions. In that same vein, certain micronutrients in the right combinations and doses can help treat depression and even severe mental health problems such as dementia and bipolar disorder. Here's a great example from the film: an older woman diagnosed with dementia was given high doses of vitamin B12 and recovered completely within a few weeks.
Hopefully you are inspired to start popping some vitamins like I was after absorbing this information. Please watch the film online and spread the word. It may seem like a funny thing we've all taken for granted, but vitamins can definitely improve the quality of your health.

How to Make 2017 Resolutions That Stick
Hope you all had a very happy holiday and somehow made it through the weekend without overdosing on refined sugar and booze. Tis' the season for sweets, apple cider, cocoa, and reflection on whether or not you actually achieved those health goals you set last January. We all know "those people" who get gym memberships at the beginning of the year, start cleanses, and become yoga natzi's only to fall completely off the wagon come spring. We know them because if we took a good look in the mirror we'd realize that at some point we have fallen way short of the mark when it comes to our health. Here's four quick ideas for ways to ensure you wrap 2017 a healthy living rockstar:
- Stop Settling. You need a goal that will get you up in the early AM or make you want to put in a workout after a long day at work. Instead of making goals about weight loss or body fat percentage try imagining the kick-ass new and improved version of you at the end of the year. What is he or she doing? Is she entering a body building competition? Running a marathon? An expert fitness pole dancer? Stunting on folks with your catwalk in the office thanks to reformer Pilates? If you can dream it, you can achieve it.
- Track Your Progress. There are so many apps nowadays that can help you keep a food diary, log workouts, or even track your daily steps. No excuses my friend. In order to keep the beginning of the year pep going a great way is to have a tried and true tracking system that works for you. When you start tracking, it helps to have an accountability partner or bff who calls you out on your cheat day.
- Celebrate Your Wins. Sometimes we get so wrapped up in our goals that we forget to take a moment a do a happy dance when we've hit the mark! As you create a plan for your health in the upcoming year, make sure you give some sort of treat or reward on the road to achieving the goal.
- Invest in a Trainer or Coach. We've all done a double take at some point in the gym at the random guy in the corner doing strange exercises with even stranger form. Just like you need a check up with your doctor or dentist every now and then, if you are looking to achieve health or fitness goals it cannot hurt to check-in with a health coach, nutritionist, or trainer. There is power in the meeting of minds and agreement. Not only will having a Sensei egg you on when you want to give up on that last rep, it may propel you much further than you can go on your own, and save you some time in the gym with more effective workouts. If you've hit a plateau or are in a food rut diet-wise, a nutritionist or health coach may get you excited about new recipes to spice things up. Make sure you get referrals for health professionals you work with so you can ensure your investment will reap dividends.

The Healing Power of Acupuncture
Last week, I braved the elements and ventured over to a traditional Chinese medical clinic for a session of acupuncture. My first experience with acupuncture was years ago, when I was living in Brooklyn and training for a marathon and got seriously injured. After one session with a therapist my ankle and knee healed very rapidly. If you are like I was at first, the idea of getting poked with needles in order to promote your health may seem a bit cray-cray. However, my most recent session really opened my eyes to that fact that there is nothing crazy about it at all. In fact acupuncture not only balances the organs and the overall energy or "chi" of the body, in is effective in treating numerous conditions including: chronic pain, digestive issues, gastrointestinal disorders, menstrual cramps, fibromyalgia, infertility, sleep disturbances, chronic fatigue, asthma, sport injuries, weight loss, acne, migraines and more. If you want to see some incredible testimonials just get on YouTube and search for acupuncture. More research is being conducted, but acupuncture can also have a very positive effect on relieving stress, anxiety, and even depression.
So how does this work? There are a lot of different scientific theories floating around about why acupuncture produces results, but the basic idea is that the insertion of thin needles releases any blockages or disruptions in chi (or qi), which then travels through channels in the body called meridians. Think about your body like a vehicle. When any part of the vehicle is not functioning optimally it affects the flow and eventually whether or not the car will run properly. When our organs are either overworked or weak, because of the wrong fuel (diet), or other factors, eventually we get clogged up in some areas and may show outward signs of imbalance. Acupuncture acts like a retuning of our overall energy flow so that balance can be restored.
If you are still a skeptic, don't knock it until you try it.

John Liu, Embattled Mayoral Candidate, on Bulgaria Terrorist Attack
John Liu, who has spent more than half of his campaign expenses on legal fees, has issued a statement condemning the recent terrorist attacks in Bulgaria.
Recall that a suicide bomber -- reportedly using a fake U.S. ID -- killed five Israelis and the driver of their tour bus, as well as injuring dozens more.
Of course, cynics might wonder: Is Liu commenting on the attacks just to make himself seem more...mayoral and leader-like, or to get the support of pro-Israel primary voters?
First, here's what Liu had to say:
"I and all New Yorkers vehemently condemn the vicious terrorist attack on Israeli tourists in Bulgaria. The residents of this City have a special relationship and deep ties with Israel, where many of our family members and friends reside. We send our thoughts and prayers to the families of those killed and injured. In this City, which has experienced the pain of terrorism first-hand, we know well that attacks against innocent civilians are attacks against all law-abiding nations. The perpetrators must be brought to justice."

Mexican National Team v Republic of Ireland
TicketsThu., Jun. 1, 8:00pm
Maybe the way to answer this question (or at least try...) is to go back and look at some of the other stuff Liu has commented on -- has he always been vocal on issues, or just when it could be politically helpful?
Recently, he spoke out against stop-and-frisk on Father's Day.
He did draw the ire, though, of the Department of Transportation and cyclist safety advocates, as they said that his statements against the bike share program were a political ploy: Why was he suddenly criticizing bike share's safety when his office had knowingly approved it, they wondered.
Liu's vehemently pro-labor May Day statement also raised eyebrows, considering his background in Pricewaterhouse Coopers. However, he has voiced concern about wealth distribution in the past, borrowing Occupy's rhetoric when explaining New York's higher-than-average income gap.
Going back, though, Liu did comment on a wide variety of non-financial issues starting from early on in his comptroller tenure.
In 2010, for example, he issued statements on the Haitian earthquake, and slammed Arizona's immigration law.
Later, in 2011, he spoke out about the deaths of Pt. Danny Chen, Geraldine Ferraro, Patricia Dolan, and Leiby Kletzky.
Also, he openly opposed Mayor Michael Bloomberg's eviction of Occupiers from Zuccotti Park.
He did keep up his pro immigration reform position this year, supporting Barack Obama's order to halt the deportation of young immigrants and support of same-sex marriage.
And at the beginning of 2012, he did comment on Queens firebomb attacks, too.
So what does all of this tell us?
Well, Liu talks a lot about a lot of different issues in his position as comptroller, not just financial ones, and also seems to be pretty liberal on a lot of them.
He also seems to have been doing this for a fair amount of time -- not just immediately before making known his interest in Gracie Mansion.
And that's probably all we can say.

Sports Minister Pir Aftab Shah Jillani on Monday alleged the Indian Cricket Board of influencing the ICC to shift the 2011 World Cup cricket matches from Pakistan and deplored the BCCI's role in the issue.
"I think the Indian board's role in this whole affair of shifting the World Cup matches from Pakistan has been deplorable," Jillani said implying that the BCCI influenced the game's world governing body's decision in the matter.
The Minister also blamed Pakistan cricket authorities for not handling the World Cup issues properly.
"I think we also need to put our own house in order," he said at a function in Hyderabad.
Jillani denied the Sports Ministry was trying to interfere in the Cricket Board affairs.
"We are not interfering but doing our duty as the watchdog of all sports bodies in the country. We want to see the Board run smoothly and properly," he added.
Jillani also supported bringing back the Indian Cricket League players into the national team as soon as possible.
"Players like Mohammad Yousuf and Abdul Razzaq are still an asset for the team and once they have revoked their contracts with the ICL, the Board should not waste time in bringing them back," he said.
Pakistani authorities are further likely to be upset with the BCCI as it did not include national T20 champions Sialkot Stallions in the Champions League.

Western Massachusetts residents lining up to share ideas at the MA Democratic Party Platform Hearing in Pittsfield this afternoon. It was great to see our own @rep_paul_mark wearing his Platform Committee hat, to share some platform ideas focused on rural communities, and to meet State Convention delegates from other small towns in the western part of the Commonwealth. #massdems #rural #westernmass #democracyinaction
The Massachusetts Democratic Party is holding hearings about the 2017 party platform, which will be approved at a convention in June. The Platform Hearing Committee was in western Massachusetts yesterday, holding one hearing in Springfield and another in Pittsfield. The following is the statement I made at the Pittsfield hearing.
Good afternoon,
My name is Beth Bandy. I am Chair of the Select Board in the Franklin County town of Charlemont, and I also will be an alternate delegate from Charlemont to the Party's Convention in June. I am here today to make suggestions for the new State Party platform that would show support for our rural communities and help the Party engage rural voters.
As Representative Mark knows, for the last year the Charlemont Select Board has been hosting a series of meetings with Select Board and Finance Committee members from more than 20 small towns around western Massachusetts. These Small Town Summits are opportunities for us to discuss common concerns with our colleagues. We also have started reaching out to our peers in rural communities in other parts of the state. Over and over, we keep hearing that rural towns in Massachusetts are facing the same challenges.
Let me be clear. When I say "rural towns are facing the same challenges," I mean half of all the towns in the state are in the same boat. We tend to think about Massachusetts as an urban or suburban state, but 170 municipalities in Massachusetts – that's 48% or almost half of the total – are rural.
These communities are running on very lean budgets with limited revenue options. Town office functions and services are provided by volunteers, with a minimal number of paid staff. These towns are home to more than 830,000 people who desperately need economic development opportunities. With this background in mind, I would like to make the following proposals for the new platform.
The Preamble to the Party's 2013 platform included 18 brief statements summarizing core principles of fairness, equality, safety, and access to basic infrastructure. As we craft a new platform in 2017, I would like to see one more bullet point added to the preamble that reads:
"We want broadband access for all residents of Massachusetts."
I also would like to see a new section added to the platform that focuses specifically on rural issues. This section ideally would support:
- sustainable economic development, job creation, and entrepreneurship in the state's rural communities broadband access as an essential component of rural economic development
- a sparsity formula for calculating rural school district aid – similar to what is already in place in more than half of the states around the country
- fair and predicable PILOT payments for State-owned lands – an essential component of financial sustainability for many rural towns in Massachusetts, some of which are more than 40% owned by the State
- taking the needs and unique challenges of running rural towns into account when passing new legislation
Thank you for the opportunity to speak this afternoon. I look forward to seeing you at the Convention in June and working with you to make the Democratic Party a positive force in rural communities across the Commonwealth.
