We all come from different walks of life, varying in times and seasons. But regardless of who you are, how old you are, where you grew up, how much money you have stashed away in the bank, whether you are married or single, black or white, tall or short…
We all have a longing to belong. A desire for purpose.
We want to be wanted. And have a reason to live. To live a life devoid of purpose is to not live life at all. As a result, we love hearing that God has a plan for us. Jeremiah 29:11 tells us so…
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
This is one of the most quoted verses in all of Scripture. However, many times it is misunderstood as a genie bottle remedy to get what WE want. I want to marry so and so, I want to move to Timbuctoo, I want to buy this house or that car. We can easily manipulate this verse as a stamp of approval from God to have things done our way. Possibly without even asking God for wisdom, insight or direction.
This verse was written to the Israelites while in the midst of captivity to the Babylonians in the 6th century B.C. The prophet Jeremiah is prophesying of God's continued blessing over them. However, there is somewhat of a catch. It doesn't look as picture-perfect from a humanistic point of view. You see, the Israelites are being punished for journeying afar from God. There is a repercussion. They will be in captivity for the next 70 years. During that time, most people will die. They will not ever see this verse come to fruition.
God does have a plan for you. It just doesn't always look as expected.
We have hope that despite our outward circumstances and the difficulties of life…we serve a God who has it all under control. This verse is meant to encourage us to keep our eyes upward. Remind us that no matter what, we can endure.
For this reason, King David could sing a tune when the enemy was quickly advancing.
For this reason, Daniel sat peacefully in the Lion's Den.
For this reason, Elisha asked that his servant's eyes be opened to see the greatness of God.
For this reason, the Apostle Paul could say, "I have learned to be content regardless of my circumstances." Even when he sat in a cold, damp jail.
God does not promise an easy life. He promises a life filled with purpose.
As John Piper said, "God created us to live with a single passion: to joyfully display His supreme excellence in all spheres of life. The wasted life is the life without passion. God calls us to pray and think and dream and plan and work, not to be made much of, but to make much of Him in every part of our lives."
A life that is not about you.
A life that is not about me.
A life that lives to give God glory.
Are you living a purposeful life? If not, what hindrances do you see?

In the February issue of Lucky magazine there is a fun little feature where the editors of Lucky name their "most loved basic" from fashion or beauty. Of course, there are the usual suspects: Hanes mens tanks, striped tees, Wolford tights. But there was one rather extravagant basic that stood out to me. Special Sections Director Liz Kiernan named $38 a pair Only Hearts Lace Trim Hipster Boyshorts as her fave, going so far as to claim that she owns approximately 50 pair. Um, that's $1,900.00 worth of underwear. And I thought my $8.50 Victoria's Secret boy shorts were pricey.
Only Hearts Lace Trim Boyshort
$19.00 - 26.60
(was $38-- save 30-50%!)
Available at: shopbop.com
Admittedly, I'm curious. I love boyshorts and if someone says that she's found the best-- particularly when that someone is a Lucky editor-- I want to judge for myself. But, I can't bear the thought of paying $38 for a single pair of everyday drawers. I mean, that's like 1/7 of a pair of really nice designer jeans! Well, thanks to this super sale find from ShopBop, we can all try out Liz Kiernan's "most loved" Only Hearts boyshorts for a whole lot less. I still won't be buying 50 pair, but I think a pair or two may be in order.
The Only Hears Lace Trim Hipster Boyshort is available in 7 colors, and sizes S to L. Click on the photo to link directly to where you can purchase online and on sale, while supplies last.

Looking for an Asbestos Services Company in Orange County?
H2 Environmental Consulting Services can facilitate everything needed for an asbestos remediation project
Asbestos is a hazardous material, and dealing with even the suspicion of possibly having asbestos-containing materials on your property can be stressful. Fortunately, you can rely on H2 Environmental Consulting Services to help you every step of the way. We offer a complete slate of asbestos management services, and we can help with everything from initial asbestos testing in Orange County CA to removal of contaminated materials to obtaining final clearances for reoccupancy. Here's an overview of the services we can provide as your asbestos services company in Orange County CA.
Sample-Taking and Asbestos Testing
H2 Environmental can help you determine once and for all if there are any asbestos-containing materials on your property. Our expert personnel can not only inspect the property visually for suspicious materials, but also take samples for asbestos testing in Orange Country CA. Our technicians follow special safety protocols to ensure that the act of taking the sample doesn't result in the very contamination we're trying to avoid. All samples taken are sent to a qualified lab for testing to determine the asbestos content.
Remediation Site Design
If asbestos-containing materials are found on your property, we can help you get rid of them. We can connect you with an expert asbestos removal contractor as well as provide the detailed site specs required for safety and for compliance with all relevant asbestos rules and regulations. The typical remediation site design plan includes requirements for sealing the area off completely, as well as the placement of an "airlock" type entrance and exit to prevent asbestos dust from escaping the worksite on workers' clothing. We will also include a plan for setting up a sealed ventilation system that will filter all air before it leaves the worksite.
Asbestos Air Testing
We can provide the ongoing asbestos air testing that is necessary during a remediation project. This testing serves to confirm that all the safety measures set up in our site design are working properly and no harmful asbestos dust is escaping to contaminate other parts of the property.
Final Inspections & Clearance
Asbestos air testing in Orange County CA is also necessary at the end of a project. After the site has been thoroughly cleaned, we can test your air to make sure that the area is safe for reoccupancy. We can also help you with completing other necessary final inspections procedures and complying with relevant rules and regulations.
Employee Education
Sometimes it may not be possible or practical to remove the asbestos completely. If your employees may come into contact with asbestos-containing materials on your property in the course of their jobs, you have an obligation to inform them of this hazard and educate them about proper protocols for handling asbestos. H2 Environmental can assist with this through our Asbestos Awareness training program.

Morro Bay, California
Lotion and skincare
Morro Bay, California
Founded: 2006
Employees: 16
Privately owned
Industry: Consumer & Lifestyle
Products: Skincare products
With a background in botanical medicine, Duell saw her All Good Goop salve gain in popularity and started Elemental Herbs in 2006. With the help of her husband, Ryan, who jumped in two years later, the success of the salve led to the development of additional products, and the team changed the name to All Good Products.
While the company now reports having approximately 45 SKUs within categories such as moisturizers, sore muscle sprays, sunscreens, lip balms, deodorants, and healing salves that are shipped across the country and globally, it's the fact that they are all made under the extremely strict guidelines of B Corp Certification that makes the company unique in the market.
"Meeting the requirements and audits for environmental impact, organic work practices, impact on the local economy, proper work environments, and more is exhaustive," says Duell. "But we've been this way since the beginning and have grown together with our workers and farms so that over time, we've eliminated the challenges that face other companies who don't bother going this far to ensure the transparency of their products."
Duell points out that a Certified B Corp maintains the right to choose environmentally conscious methods over the bottom line. "That sounds like a losing proposition for investors, but it's not a bad thing," says Duell. "If you start this way from day one, you figure out how to absorb the higher costs and for us, we want to be a truly organic and environmentally conscious skincare product company that people can trust and know where their product comes from."
Sourcing from local farms (including her own), Duell says that it helps the company stay on top of their environmental and natural guidelines. "We grow raw materials on our farm, such as the calendula flower," says Duell. "This medicinal flower is dried and infused into our product. We control measurement on everything from the microbiome to the integrity of the soil and land."
The products nicely align with a booming niche. "The market for natural skincare is exploding," says Duell. "Our products are consistent with growing consumer awareness and growth towards living a balanced lifestyle with nature and knowing where products come from. The hot topic is focused on sunscreens where there is a lot of misinformation. We're wanting to educate people on the damage that chemical sunscreen products actually can do to your skin, as well as environments like the coral reefs."
The messaging is working, and according to Duell, retailers are also following suit, making more shelf space for the demand for natural products. "There's a growing awareness from retailers who are discovering a consumer interest in brands that have an authentic aspect to them," says Duell. "In the example of sunscreens, they have historically been a commodity and an impulse buy. We're working to change that and explain to people the dangers from the sunscreen that they purchased. I formed a group, The Safe Sunscreen Council, made up of 12 brands working together to elevate the importance of minerals, not chemicals, in sunscreens. We're bonded in pursuit of growing that market against the large corporations and brands out there. It feels fun to be a disruptor in the market, but we do it in a good and conscious way. In doing so, we're seeing more doors opening for us."
Challenges: "There's a lot of misinformation out there that consumers need to navigate through," says Duell. "On the one hand legislation has passed banning the use of some sunscreen chemicals, but they're being replaced with other chemicals that we don't know how they breakdown into the skin. The downside of legislation has unintended consequences so we're challenged to get passed that somehow."
Opportunities: Duell says that the Internet provides an amazing opportunity for the company. "We haven't fully embraced it as much as we need to but selling direct to the consumer gives us a chance to educate and bring awareness," she says. "It's also great for us to engage with customers and learn from their experience with our product."
Needs: "We need better packaging and are looking for some solutions," says Duell. "We also need to simply keep growing our brand awareness and educating customers to choose our brand for the right reasons."

One more push for LVA
Without fail.
It's time for the entire genealogical community to raise its voice and speak out on behalf of the Library of Virginia.
The budget fight on behalf of this premier research repository has hit the front burners in the Virginia General Assembly funding process, and The Legal Genealogist is joining the Virginia Genealogical Society and others in asking you to join in to try to win back funding lost in last year's cuts.
Only if we join together, only if we will all take the time to simply speak out, do we have a chance to help protect and preserve access to the records held by this facility.
The Library of Virginia is the state library and archives of Virginia. As such, it's one of the finest and most important research facilities anywhere in the United States — home of the records of the gateway for so many of our ancestors into this new land.
It's where the accumulated history of one of the oldest and most significant of the American colonies can be found.
Birthplace of Presidents and judges, of slaves and indentured servants, of yeomen farmers and teachers and preachers, of sailors and seamstresses… for so many of our families, these are our ancestors.
So very many of our families' records are held in this one place: manuscripts, court files, deeds, probates, births, marriages and deaths.
And because of budget cuts we have been systematically losing access.
For years, LVA had been operating well below its allotted staffing levels. Then last year a devastating axe fell: more than $600,000 from the LVA tab for the fiscal year — with the bulk of it being in library staff and directly impacting library hours. The net result: as of November of last year, we as researchers can only use the research rooms during regular working hours — 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. — four weekdays a week. No evenings. No weekends.
Worse in some ways is the staff loss. Competent experience dedicated archivists with a love for the records, gone because of financing. New record acquisitions unaccessioned, meaning they can't be catalogued and added to the access system. Existing record sets can't be prepared for digitization. Digitized records can't be put online.
The access problem just cascade…
So… we are making some progress in the Virginia General Assembly budget process. Concerted efforts by VGS and the genealogical community — in other words, your letters and emails and calls and mine — have led the budget committees in both houses of the General Assembly to vote to restore some funding.
If that budget passes, library hours will be greatly improved and staffing will get a little better. And the House budget committee agreed that the staffing needed more: another $294,250 for four more key archivist positions. But the Senate committee didn't go along.
That proposal — to add back that $294,250 for those critical positions — will go to a budget conference committee this week.
We need to let the budget conference folks know how important these positions are… and how much LVA means to us as genealogists and researchers.
And when I say important… I mean really important. One of the positions we're trying to get funded is for a private papers archivist to help accession and catalogue incoming private papers. Things like diaries and Bibles and wartime letters that continue to flow into LVA. Things like the surviving burial records from Evergreen Cemetery, an historic private African-American cemetery in Richmond. Crucial records.
You know how many private papers archivists LVA has now? None. It used to have six. This money could give back one — just one — of these slots, and help fund another to work on getting historical records like pre-1912 birth and death records and pre-1936 marriage records ready to be digitized and put online.
There's a form letter you can download here (in Word format) or here (in PDF format) and list of legislators you can send it to that you can download here (in Word format) or here (in PDF format). And there's an explanation of the positions you can download (in PDF format) here.
If we use these materials to contact legislators, seriously, it won't take even an hour of our time to speak out for records, for records access, for history, for the future of genealogy.
Not even an hour of our time.
And a lifetime of records could be protected and made accessible.
Speak out for LVA.

November is Financial Literacy Month, and that means teaching consumers what their rights and options are. The best place to start teaching consumers about financial literacy would be our young adults heading out into the world.
Our school curriculum is starting to teach about financial literacy, and that is excellent, but it doesn't deal with harsh realities such as collection agencies, car repossessions, poor credit decisions that could hamper your credit rating for years, or the struggle with high interest debt. So, we are dedicating all our articles this month to helping young people in Canada avoid pitfalls of consumer credit.
If you are just heading out into the world, you are going to be tempted with a lot of contracts. If you want to purchase a car, a cell phone plan, rent an apartment, get a gym membership, or acquire a credit card, you will have to sign for it. Before you commit yourself, you need to beware a number of potentially dangerous mistakes.
Breaking The Contract
If you don't make your payments, or try to end the contract early, there may be a penalty or consequence for not finishing your term. Be careful what you commit yourself to. For example, if you purchase a car on credit, and fail to make your payments, the finance company has the right to repossess your vehicle, auction or resell it, and then pursue you for the balance – this can mean you will likely owe a large balance, for a car you no longer have -- be careful!
You won't know your rights if you don't keep a copy of the contract! Make sure you get a copy of anything you sign so you know what you have agreed to, and keep it somewhere safe. You may need to hold the creditor to the terms they have agreed, and show them the terms they agreed to as well, even after the agreement runs out.
If you sign a contract, it doesn't matter who uses the service, you are personally responsible. This goes for car loans, cell phone contracts, apartment rentals – if you are going to use something with a roommate, boyfriend or girlfriend, brother or sister, everyone should sign for it. That way, if something goes wrong, everyone is responsible, which means it's less likely you will get stuck with "the check". This is called being "jointly and severally liable", meaning everybody who signs owes the full amount owed until it is paid by someone.
When you are handed a contract with tons of small print, you don't have to feel rushed to sign it. In fact, you can ask to take it home, read it over (maybe even show it to someone you trust), and come back the next day. If you don't read the contract, or you weren't aware of what you agreed to, that won't protect you when things go wrong. Make sure you are comfortable with all the terms you are signing for.
No one should learn these lessons the hard way -- print this article out for yourself, or give it to your teenagers, your younger siblings, or someone you know who is struggling with their finances as they go out into the world as adults. People have a right to know how to manage their finances, before they get in deep trouble.
If you want more information about financial literacy, the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada has more resources available for Financial Literacy Month here:
As well, if you are in the Cambridge/Kitchener-Waterloo/Guelph area and would like to attend a free credit workshop where we cover this topic and more, as a service to the community, you can find information here:
If you have any questions about contracts, or would like more information to help you learn about your finances, feel free to contact myself. My direct line at Kingston Data and Credit is 226-444-5695.

Alabama A&M (1-13) was ready to put the 2017 portion of its schedule in the rearview mirror and open up SWAC play with a reasonable opportunity to win. Coming off a 40 point drubbing at Georgetown, the Bulldogs beat Grambling (4-10) in their house 71-64 for its first win of the season.
De'Ederick Petty scored 18 points and Marcus Merriweather added 12 points for A&M who snapped a 16-game losing streak dating back to last season. The Bulldogs were pretty hot from the field shooting 47 percent and knocking down 7 of 17 from 3-point range.
Bulldogs bite early
Grambling made headlines earlier this season with a huge upset victory at Georgia Tech, but A&M didn't get flustered by the ACC win. The Bulldogs piled on a 17-point lead before Grambling cut it down to 36-23 at halftime.
The Tigers opened up the second half with 12 unanswered points to trim the lead to 36-35. Grambling sustained an A&M run before trimming the lead back to 69-64 with 44 seconds left but ran out of gas.
Alabama A&M held Grambling to 34 percent shooting and the Tigers missed all 10 of their 3-point shots.
Women's Game
In the opening game of the doubleheader, the Grambling (4-8) women's basketball team defeated Alabama A&M (5-7) by a score of 78-49. Shakyla Hill led four Grambling players in double figures with 14 points while Kenisha Tharpe picked up a double-double for the Lady Bulldogs with 12 points and 12 rebounds.

3 Tbsp nutritional yeast (optional)

2 soft pitted dates
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 of the bell pepper you diced
1/2 cup water
Wash and trim the kale, removing the hard stem, toss into a large bowl.
Blend sauce ingredients until smooth and creamy.
Pour over kale and massage with your hands, coating each piece.
Toss in the diced onion, pepper and nutritional yeast in and mix again.
Lay out onto non-stick dehydrator sheets - they can be touching.
Sprinkle chipotle chili powder over - a light dusting will be lots.
Dehydrate at 115F for 8-12 hours until dry and crispy.
Store in an air tight container at room temperature.

Take-and-make kits; craft kits; programs to go: whatever your library calls these programs in a bag that have become a staple of no-contact offerings, one thing is fairly standard: these kits are well loved, but they take time to make. I love creating materials for kits and thinking about how a family might interact with program materials at home. I've introduced a new pair of kits for ages 6-11: Book Club in a Bag (also known as Leap Off the Page, since we already have book club kits at our library, and the original name became confusing). This week: Lumberjanes!
The Book Club in a Bag kits look a bit different from some of my previous kits. Instead of focusing on just one book universe, these kits each feature four characters, hopefully some old favorites as well as some new, diverse characters.
In May, these featured characters or books included (links provided as the bag contents are shared on Book Cart Queens):
- Ages 6-8
- Narwhal and Jelly (Blen Clanton)
- Sadiq (Siman Nuurali)
- Pete the Cat (Eric Litwin and James Dean)
- Zoey and Sassafras (Asia Citro)
- Ages 8-11:
- Tristan Strong (Kwambe Mbalia)
- Last Kids on Earth (Max Brallier)
- Two Truths and a Lie (Ammi-Joan Paquette and Laurie Ann Thompson)
- Lumberjanes (Noelle Stevenson, Shannon Watters, Brooke Allen, Grace Ellis, Kat Leyh, Faith Erin Hicks)
Check out these previously featured Book Club kits:
– Elephant & Piggie (Mo Willems)
– Mindy Kim (Lyla Lee)
– Yasmin (Saadia Faruqi)
– Azaleah Lane (Nikki Shannon Smith)
– Wings of Fire (Tui T. Sutherland)
– New Kid (Jerry Craft)
– Phoebe and Her Unicorn (Dana Simpson)
– Shuri (Nic Stone)
Each bag contains some repeated resources:
- List of kit contents
- List of books in the featured series
- List of readalike books
- Discussion questions
- Swag item (button, sticker, bookmarks)
- 1-3 crafts, games, activities
Lumberjanes Kit
The Lumberjanes Kit can be as simple or as elaborate as you'd like. Most of this kit can be re-created simply using a printer, with the addition of extra items depending on your budget.

The Lumberjanes Discussion Questions included:
- The very first page of the first book has the original name of the Lumberjanes' camp inscribed at the bottom. It reads "Miss Qiunzella Thiskwin Penniquiqul Thistle Crumpet's Camp for Girls" with the word "girls" scratched out and replaced with "hardcore lady-types." Why do you think the word girl was scratched out?
- How would you describe each of the five main Lumberjanes? Who is your favorite? Why?
- Why do you think they included so many snippets from the Lumberjanes manual and information about Lumberjanes badges?
- In the "Message from the Lumberjane High Council" in Volume 1 it says: "…Whether you are a dancer or a misfit, career girl or a social elite, you have a place at this camp — no matter how different you feel." How does the story and the characters reflect this?
This bag also included a sticker, printed on Avery circle 2.25″ white sticker label paper.

Cars for Sale in Kenya - In-depth Review and Importation
Guide for Different Models
Used Cars for Sale in Kenya: Benefits of Importing Your Vehicle
We all want to find an auto that meets our needs and one that provides value for our hard-earned money.
Many Kenyans and the world turn to Japan, a market with cheap and affordable cars for sale and thousands of spare parts.
There are many reasons to buy your car from exporters or used car auctions in Japan and other markets offering quality, affordable vehicles. Some of these benefits include:
Car dealers in Nairobi and Mombasa know that the price of vehicles from online car auctions and dealers in these markets is friendly.
The automobiles in the exporting countries tend to depreciate at a high rate since the manufacturers introduce new models regularly.
The trend pushes the price of the local used vehicle south, which is made worse because many people try to offload their cars at once.
Roads in the importing countries are often more well-maintained than in Kenya, and most car owners try to maintain their vehicles to have a good resale value.
It is common to find a five-or-six-year-old vehicle in Japan better than a 8-month-old model in Kenya. Most of these autos are almost in Kenya car yards and showrooms.
Most people in automobile exporting countries often trade their barely used vehicles to avoid the old models' high inspection and registration fees.
Their governments also fail to provide them with the option of disposing of their automobiles by imposing a hefty disposal fee.
That only gives them the choice of selling their cars at a low price before they get old.
Buying your vehicle locally can be a tiring process, especially if you want a model with unique specifications.
That could mean visiting different car sellers in Kenya until you find your dream vehicle.
You might also end up making hundreds of calls, resulting in time, money, and energy wasting.
You can leave the bidding, shipping, clearing, and registration to a professional importer when you seek their service.
It is advisable to visit them once, pay the money, and wait for the car to arrive.
Used cars for sale in Kenya from Japan come with more specifications than vehicles sold by car sellers in Nairobi and other towns.
You can get more value for importing your vehicle when it has extras like decent audio, sunroof, leather seats, and more.
Other features you can find include cruise control, satellite navigation, and power heated seats.
Most of these features are excluded for the often more expensive new vehicles in the local market.
Cheap Cars for Sale in Kenya: Challenges of Importing Your Car
First-time automobile buyers might find it challenging to import their vehicles and end up buying the more expensive models from the local Nairobi or Mombasa car dealers.
There are good reasons why even the experienced buyer can get the auto locally.
1. The Importation Process
Importing a vehicle from Japan is often a tiring, lengthy process that involves identifying the car, having it inspected, having it modified, shipping it, and then clearing it from the port.
You might waste more time than you would have if you opted to buy your car from sites that sell locally used models like JiJi Kenya cars.
2. The Fraudsters Challenge
Kenyan has been defrauded thousands of times and continues to lose money to fraudsters who set illegal car auction websites.
These hoaxers in Kenya and other countries
disappear when you wire your money to buy the car.
3. Physical Car Examination
Cars importation happens online, which robs
buyers of the chance of inspecting them before making the payment.
You are also denied the opportunity of test
driving the car or even feel the comfort.
Cars for Sale in Mombasa: The Process of Importing Vehicles to Kenya
Importing a car from Japan to Kenya can be a tedious process that involves four main steps. These are the steps involved:
The step is to look for a reputable car dealer to help you with the importation process.
You can find hundreds of dealers in Kenya like Bestcarsforsaleinkenya.co.ke, Cheki Kenya, and more.
Most car dealers in Kenya import vehicles and sell them at their showroom or yard, which increase the price due to operating cost.
We would recommend you choose a company that imports directly for their client.
You should also avoid car dealers in Nairobi or Mombasa without a physical address or an office you can visit.
These are often the fraudsters waiting for you to pay the main and then vanish.
The dealer identifies the available ship that is scheduled to leave Japan to Kenya in the coming weeks.
Everything is organised, and you might be requested to pay for the shipment if you agreed before.
You need to pay the necessary levies and duties to KRA when your car vehicle arrives in Mombasa.
Some of the fees you pay include 25% Import Duty, 20%-30% Excised Duty, 16% VAT, 2% Importation Declaration, and 1.5% Railway Development Levy.
Cheap Cars for Sale in Kenya: Computing the Total Cost of the Vehicle
The price of the vehicle you wish to import or buy during car sales in Mombasa is affected by different factors, including the clearing and registration fees.
Our CarforSaleinKenya.com team has compiled a list of things that might increase or reduce the price.
Car Make.
Here we are talking of Subaru, Mazda, Nissan, Mercedes, Toyota, BMW, Mitsubishi, and other brands. Toyota vehicles are more expensive because they are of higher quality.
You can choose a Station Wagon, SUV, Sedan, Van, Pick Up, Bus, and others. Station wagons are often more affordable.
You can import new, slightly used, and even somewhat old vehicles. These cars will cost differently, with the new model being more expensive.
It is the distance the car has covered since it was purchased. A low mileage vehicle will be more expensive.
It is the number of years the
vehicle has been in existence
since it was manufactured and
registered. Older cars are more affordable.
You can find a manual or
automatic car, with the manual being more affordable.
The most common types of drive are FF and AWD. Modern cars come with a combination of the two to save fuel and provide
power when needed.
Cars for Sale in Nairobi: Important Importation Rules and Regulations
The government has enacted many rules and regulations every car importer should know before importing their vehicle. They include the following:

Japanese Yen Technical Analysis: Watch Trendline Support Closely
Talking Points:
- USDJPY made a new 2017 low then almost immediately set off to post a 'higher high'
- This rather confusing process has yet to be resolved
- The pair remains above trendline support, too, but only just
Join us and join in. Trade all the major Asia Pacific economic data live and interactive at the DailyFX webinars
The Japanese Yen's daily chart against the Dollar is a little ambiguous right now.
USD/JPY posted a new low for 2017 back on September 8 but then proceeded to gain quite strongly to the point on Thursday of this week when it posted a 'higher high' in short order. The 110.99 point reached then is above the 110.63 peak scaled on August 31.
The question for investors now is whether the pair will indeed confirm this high and slink back again toward the year's lows, or build a higher base around current levels. It's impossible to be sure, of course. But if we pick apart USD/JPY's latest burst of vigor we see that four straight days of gains into Wednesday of this week coincided with a global pickup in risk appetite which seems now to be a little exhausted. However, it's tempting to conclude that was a one-off, perhaps even rather spurious reason for the pair's altitude and that, had it not occurred we would have seen yet another lower low this week.
That said USD/JPY remains above trendline support stemming from its 2017 peak of 114.27 on July 11. This is not insignificant as the pair has spent precious little time anywhere near the top of this trendline, never mind above it, in the intervening months.
If you're are uncommitted it might pay to wait now and see whether we get a daily close above the line. If we do there may be some chance that USD/JPY is building at least a new range base around current levels, with its upper reaches yet to be defined. However, if we don't, then it seems likely that the range between the year's lows in the 107 area and highs in the mid-110s are still the band you have to trade with.
That trendline support now comes in arounds 109.48.
The generally reinvigorated British Pound, meanwhile, has made considerable headway against the Japanese Yen and, indeed, has posted a new 2017 high of 148.35 just this week.
For the moment, GBP/JPY looks exceedingly comfortable within an uptrend channel from its late-August lows. However, it is also looking extremely overbought, unsurprisingly and a period of some consolidation must now be at least likely, even if the cross doesn't retrace very far.

Mosquitoes infest Discovery Channel branding ahead of documentary premiere
Thousands of blood-sucking insects are to swarm Discovery Channel's on-air branding, to mark the worldwide premiere of the documentary Mosquito on 6 July.
Mosquito airs on 6 July
From tomorrow digital creations of the deadly bugs will create a buzz at the end credits of programmes and promos as well as on a new channel ident. Created in-house by Discovery Creative London, the density of the creatures will increase as the documentary's premiere date approaches.
"Transmitting a killer cocktail of diseases, mosquitoes are the deadliest animal on earth – and yet there are realistic solutions to dramatically halt their march. The creative execution for the channel infestation first provokes intrigue with mosquitoes popping up on-air and informs with 'killer facts' in the ad breaks before encouraging the nation to act with a petition and public health advice," said Rebecca Diver Phillips, senior marketing and communications director at Discovery Networks UK and Ireland.
"We're also delighted to broadcast Mosquito in partnership with charity Malaria No More who are the forefront of the war against the mosquito-borne disease. In addition, adventurer Ed Stafford has recorded a special intro and outro for the documentary with tips to stay safe in areas at risk – as part of a global effort to encourage the world to come together to help solve a health crisis," Diver Phillips added.
Mosquito will be broadcast on Discovery Channel and Discovery networks around the world on 6 July, and highlights the risk of the next global pandemic, featuring interviews with leaders in the global health community including Bill Gates.

Bull was truly a master of his medium. His b&w seems more real than color. You know what I mean?
Hi Mike,
I completely agree. I absolutely do know what you mean.
Ray Milland looks wonderful! What a hunk he was. And I love Madge Evans's profile.
I cant remember where I found this. It's Ray Milland from his autobiography. "Most of my pedestals stand empty and the world seems filled with predators, so that I have come to the conclusion that my perennial nostalgia is not for a place but for a time. A time of good manners, of elegance and modesty, of honor and pride and self-respect. Many of these qualities remain with me only faintly, but I remember them and know that if I can recapture and polish them I shall be safe."
Aww, he was a melancholic chap... I've been thinking about that sort of thing lately as well, about how important it is to have people you can look up to, as encouragement to do the right thing. Maybe I can ad him to the list of the good guys. :)
The more I read about him, the more I like him. I think he really might have been one of the good guys.

UK-based Shine Systems has selected the Mackie DL1608 as the console of choice for the 24,000-capacity Welford Road Stadium, home of the Leicester Tigers rugby club. Founded in 1880, Tigers are the most successful English club since the introduction of league rugby in 1987.
Director of Shine Systems and audio engineer for Welford stadium, Phil Taylor, explains —"The DL1608 was used to play music before/after the match and at half-time (both from the iPad and from a Macbook Air running Traktor), together with playing pre-recorded announcements and to control the match announcer microphones."
The large stadium is divided into 17 discrete zones and employs a robust wireless network that was perfect for the DL1608. "I was also able to walk round the ground during the pre-match build-up with just my iPad and adjust levels as required using the ground-wide wireless network." continued Phil. "I would usually use a larger-format digital console for this, but I am confident that the DL1608 will have sufficient features and inputs (and it is certainly easier to carry!)."

The prospects of a Bitcoin ETF coming to market have not only crypto enthusiasts psyched, but Wall Street as well. Even though the term ETF — i.e., exchange-traded fund — is often talked about, we wanted to delve into the mechanics behind it in order to get a better understanding of the potential impact it might have. We interviewed an ETF consultant, an ETF applicant, a professor of finance and even a commissioner at the Securities and Exchange Commission to get the whole picture and to try to answer the question, could a Bitcoin ETF be a game changer?

After literally weeks of work, we have finally seen the end of contractors working on our new home. Our primary go-to guy for wallpaper, painting and general "fix-that" duties is a fellow named Jim, who has worked on many projects for us over the years.
A couple of weeks ago, while elbow deep in wallpaper paste, he mentioned that his computer at home was running erratically and slowly. Being a nice guy, I told him to bring it over to my house, and I would check it out. After spending hours, I removed more than 4,000 pieces of spyware, malware, and general trash from his machine, restoring it to regular performance.
How did his PC get so infected? Well, the machine is shared between himself, his wife and two daughters, with each user downloading software and visiting Web sites of their choice. With all that activity, it is very difficult to keep malware and other nefarious software bits from taking up residence.
Many times spyware/malware enters your computer if you click on an embedded link in an e-mail. Never click on such links. If you want to check the status of any of your online accounts, never use embedded links — always type the address you want to go to in the address box of your Web browser.
A side note to this is that I recently received an e-mail supposedly from Pay Pal, saying that my account had been suspended and to click on this link to reactivate it. A careful review of this "phishing" e-mail revealed a misspelled word. Anytime you see bad grammar or misspelled words, the e-mail is bogus.
How do you know when a PC has become infected? If it starts up slowly, displays firewall messages indicating strange programs are trying to access the Internet, or redirects your primary home page to one that is trying to sell you steroids, and steroids is misspelled, the PC is infected.
Remember that while the typical office or home PC is a complex device, and software programs work in Byzantine ways, everything your computer does, it does for a reason. Once malware gets into your computer, it tries to connect to its "master" over the Internet to deliver your usernames, passwords, account numbers, and other information while finding out what the latest "spam" e-mail its master wants delivered to every name in your Microsoft Outlook address book.
Many users subscribe to services that claim to protect and defend a PC from spyware/malware invasions. Without naming names, I must say that I have little faith in these services. My friend Jim's computer was "protected" by one of the nationally recognized protection programs, and he collected thousands of pieces of Internet-borne spyware while his "protection" was in full force.
You can wash your car, but it gets dirty driving it around. If you are going to use the Internet, you are going to pick up malware along the way. What should you do? I've devised the following program over the past couple of years, and have had minimal problems with any of the three computers we use for our business and personal matters. The keys are protection and cleaning.
For protection, every personal computer should have a firewall software program installed and operating. The one I recommend is Zone Alarm, available for free at zonealarm.com. I find Zone Alarm superior to other products because it always tells you what it is doing, and it monitors programs that are either trying to get into your computer or that are within your computer and trying to get to the Internet. Once you have Zone Alarm going, you have a good protection system in place.
Now for the cleaning. This is a six-step process that involves anti-virus scanning, malware removal, Windows registry cleaning, and a couple of hard disk servicing procedures.
The first step is anti-virus scanning. Use AVG, a free program from grisoft.com. Download the program, pick up the updates, and scan your computer. This can take more than one hour, during which time your PC may run very slowly. AVG will find most virus-signatured programs in your machine and remove them.
The next agenda item is malware removal. Two tools are used here: Spybot Search and Destroy (http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/) and Ad Aware from lavasoft.com. Once again, download these free programs, get the updates and scrape the crud from your PC. Because these two programs use different techniques, they each will find different spyware/malware infections.
There are some infestations that these two programs cannot handle. When I ran Spybot on Jim's PC, it would get halfway through a scan when a message popped up "Scan aborted by user" and the software would quit. The spyware in his computer was set to defeat Spybot's attempts to remove it.
This was the time to break out the credit card and purchase the heavy artillery. Introducing Spyware Doctor (http://www.pctools.com/spyware-doctor), a $30 antispyware program that will really flatten the bugs in your machine.
You can download and run the program for free, and it will scan your machine and show you all the bugs you have. However, you need to pay the $30 to get them removed. The fee is good for a year, and this is a great program to use if Ad Aware and Spybot will not do the job.
Once you have the spyware out of your machine, it is time to clean up the Windows Registry. This part of Windows software tends to collect a lot of unnecessary debris, which can slow down your system performance. I use Reg Vac (regvac.com) to clean out unused registry items.
Now we go to disk maintenance. As you write, save and modify files, the file management system in your PC will end up saving some parts of a file on one section of the hard drive, and other parts in other sections. This process is called "fragmentation" and will slow down your machine when you are accessing files.
To fix this, run the "defragmentation" program available in Windows. To get there, do this:
- Start>My Computer;
- Right click your hard drive, highlight "Properties" and click;
- Open the "Tools" tab at the top of the window, and click "Defragment Now" in the center.
The second disk maintenance item is found in the same window as the defragmentation tool. It is called "Error Checking." Hard drives spin very quickly, and high volume use or minor defects in the drive can create errors on the hard disk. If you gather enough disk errors, your hard drive can totally fail, leaving you with a dead machine and a very upset stomach.
"Error Checking" will scan each and every sector of a hard drive, used or unused, and verify that it is working properly. If it finds a bad sector on the drive, it will attempt to move any data recoverable from the bad sector, place it into a good sector, and designate that the bad sector should not be used in the future.
Usually when you try to run "Error Checking" in Windows XP, the program says it cannot do it right now, and asks if you would like to run the utility at the next startup. Select yes, and click "shutdown" and "restart" to get the error checking going. As with disk defragmentation, this process can take upwards of 45 minutes to an hour to complete, and you will be unable to use your machine during the process. I usually start it when I'm going to bed.
After running all these programs, a wise computer user will set a "Restore" point in Windows, so that if needed or wanted, the machine can be restored to the relatively pristine state achieved after the thorough cleansing process.
It is best to perform all these steps at least once a month on any computers used for Internet access. I know it seems like a lot of work, but once you have the programs installed, they run pretty quickly. Remember to always get the updates for the anti-virus and anti-malware detection programs — new virus variants are unleashed every day on the Internet, and your cleaning programs are only as good as the latest update.
You will sleep better knowing your computers are not unwittingly contributing to the billions of pieces of spam e-mail transmitted by infected computers every single day.

-'Pam Corbin is the master, and the first person I turn to for everything to do with preserving. I've learnt so much from her' – DIANA HENRY Pam Corbin is the expert who professional cooks consult when they want to make jams, jellies, marmalades, chutneys, pickles or anything else to do with preserving. They know her as 'Pam the Jam', and this book is the culmination of her years of experience, distilled into more than 100 tried-and-tested recipes. Her jams, marmalades and fruit spreads contain far less sugar than traditional recipes, which means that they taste astonishingly fruity and delicious. Likewise, her chutneys and pickles are lighter and sprightlier than the old-fashioned kind. Pam will show you how to make more unusual preserves too – such as glossy fruit cheeses to serve with everything from Stilton to manchego (which calls for her classic quince membrillo). Or creamy yet zesty fruit curd: there's a recipe for classic lemon curd, and also a wonderfully light lime and coconut one. If you have an array of Pam's preserves in your store cupboard, you can transform any meal in an instant. She'll inspire you to dig into your jars of preserves to make spin-off recipes such as scrumptious lime cheesecake, cherry pie or spicy sausage rolls. Packed with detailed instructions, explanations and tips, this is the only preserve-making bible that you will ever need.

As we know that Government of India have made the 12 digit mandatory with many other important official documents. One of those is bank accounts and the deadline to do the same has been set which is 31st December 2017. And the accounts which won't be linked with bank accounts by this date would be "cease to be operational".
RBI (Reserve Bank of India) issued a clarification today i.e. October 21, stating that seeding of Aadhaar with bank accounts is mandatory under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (Maintenance of Records) Second Amendment Rules.
A notification was out on June 1st 2017 by the Ministry of Finance, amended the Prevention of Money – Laundering (Maintenance of Records) Rules, 2005, which states that the new bank accounts which were opened after this notification are required to link their new bank accounts with Aadhaar card at the time of opening of the account or within 6 months of opening account. And the bank accounts which already exist are supposed to fulfil the linkage procedure by the given deadline i.e. 31st December, 2017.
To which Director, People Advisory Services Ernst and Young says "It is important to note that these rules apply to all individuals, companies, firms, trust, associations, etc who have a bank account. For companies, firms trust and associations, the individual authorised to transact on its behalf is required to link his / her Aadhaar with the respective bank account. Exemption is only available if the individual is not eligible for Aadhaar i.e. a non resident as per Aadhaar rules".
Full Text of RBI Notification
These Rules have statutory force and, as such, banks have to implement them without awaiting further instructions.

However, exceptions have been given to some of the account types i.e. in case the small account types which are not linked with 12 digit Aadhaar number will be kept out of making it unoperational and also they are mandatory to link with Aadhaar even at the time of opening.
A small account is a bank savings account where:
- The aggregate of all credits in a financial year does not exceed Rs 1 lakh.
- The aggregate of all withdrawals and transfers in a month does not exceed Rs 10, 000.
- The balance at any point of time does not exceed Rs 50, 000".

On 27th April, WWE is going to hold a massive event under the name of "GREATEST ROYAL RUMBLE". This event marks a deal between The Saudi government and WWE. Therefore, Vince McMahon is leaving no stone unturned to make this one of the best event in recent memories.
The event will be held on 27th April at Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. No less than eight Championship matches have already been confirmed for the events. Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler will be doing the commentary work
The match between Rusev and The Undertaker was certainly unexpected, especially as it was a casket match. Though Rusev got replaced by a returning Chris Jericho as the opponent of The Undertaker, the match actually got more interesting.
The most important match in the event is obviously the Greatest Royal Rumble. Though WWE can probably manage the number of wrestlers from their active roster alone, fans want surprises.
While NXT talents will be a welcome surprise, returning legends are the surprises fans want to see. If the reports from PWInsider can be believed, Rey Mysterio will return to WWE at the Greatest Royal Rumble.
Rey Mysterio is certainly one of the most beloved wrestlers of the twenty-first century. This wrestler is the first luchador to get famous and win the World Championship in WWE. He was so universally beloved that he had to be kept out of the WCW invasion angle as fans will not jeer him.
After leaving WWE in less than amicable terms in 2014, Rey Mysterio returned at the Royal Rumble 2018 and was among the final six contestants. It was an one night surprise though, and Rey was never seen again.
Rey had to cancel his highly anticipated, twenty years in the making rematch against Jushin Thunder Liger due to a injury. He became physical at the event though.
Even if Rey Mysterio returns, he will probably be not the winner of the match. Still, his return will be the reason of happiness of many grown-ups faces who grew up watching him 619ing his opponents and flying across the ring.
Whether this will be another one time appearance, or a full time return – we are still to confirm. But, one thing id for sure- Some of them in the rumble is going to eat some 619s.

India is cracking down on online porn.
The country's government has ordered Internet service providers to disable access to 857 pornographic websites in the name of "morality."
A telecommunication department spokesman said the ban has been issued under the country's information technology act, following comments made by India's Supreme Court last month.
"The court said that free and open access to these websites should be controlled," N.N. Kaul told CNNMoney.
The department issued a 17-page document listing websites that it said include content that "violates morality and decency."
Pranesh Prakash from the India-based Center for Internet and Society said the ban is India's largest crackdown on internet content so far.
In July, India's top court examined a petition which claimed online pornography fueled sex crimes. It refused to issue a blanket ban, saying it was not for the court to issue such restrictions.
"It is an issue for the government to deal with," Chief Justice Handyala L. Dattu was quoted by Indian media as saying. "Can we pass an interim order directing blocking of all adult websites?" he asked.
Related: 8 things you won't find in China
Kaul said the restriction is only temporary, until the government finds a more permanent way of dealing with the issue. He said the websites can still be accessed through proxy or private networks.
Indians took to social media to criticize the government for what they say is censorship.
Ram Gopal Varma, Bollywood film director and one of many Indian celebrities to criticize the ban, tweeted: "To ban porn saying it will be seen by who shouldn't see it is like saying to stop traffic because there will be accidents."

Allure of technology how much is too much? These are the question we ask ourselves everyday but without actually giving an answer to ourselves. But till how long?
Technology and Childhood: Risk Vs Benefit. I do not deny the fact that technology has indeed changed our lives but is it for the better or for the worse? Young children are amazing and there is no doubt about it and the fact that they can operate a touch screen is really no more fascinating than early reading. While technology has an undeniable allure, an attraction that is difficult even for many of us adults to ignore, but how much is too much?
With the huge impact of technology on us including our young generation, gone are the days when you would find a young girl playing with hula hoops or a boy playing with a ball in the garden. Nowadays you would rather find them hooked on to their parent's Smartphone or tablet.
If you are living in a developed nation or a developing nation, I bet you would have definitely come across parents who would have proudly announced that their 2 year kid could open phone applications on their Smartphone. Masters of imagination, children of the past created their own form of play that dint really require any technology or parental supervision. Today children rely mostly on technology for playing, which has led to poor imagination, creativity and learning abilities. A 2010 Kaiser Foundation study found that US youths spent more than seven and a half hours a day using a Smartphone, computer, television or other electronic device. Majority of the brain development occurs between the ages of 0 to 3 and a lot many things are responsible for this very rapid development. If the infant's environment is nurturing, kind and promotes development, the infant attains optimal physical, mental and social growth necessary to achieve academic success. Animals are born fully developed whereas for human infants, coordinated running may take up to two years, provided they move.
Four critical factors responsible for healthy development of an infant are movement, human connection, touch and exposure to nature. Instead this is now replaced by apps, televisions and touch screens. Hence children nowadays find it difficult to pay attention in the classrooms which is very necessary for learning. Technology has not only impacted the mental development of children but also their physical development. The percentage of obesity and diabetes among children is increasing day by day with physical movement restricted to moving and getting either the TV remote or the iPod.
Diagnoses of ADHD, autism, coordination disorder, developmental delays, unintelligible speech, learning difficulties, sensory processing disorder, anxiety, depression, and sleep disorders are associated with technology overuse, and are increasing at an alarming rate. Moreover it is sad that constant use of technology has also led to more number of children wearing glasses at a very young age. A more disturbing fact is that even parents nowadays encourage their children to play with their iphones so as to stop them from asking too many questions. The level of curiosity in a kid has hugely decreased due to this. Hence, it's important to come together as parents, teachers and therapists to help society "wake up" and see the devastating effects technology is having not only on our child's physical, psychological and behavioral health, but also on their ability to learn and sustain personal and family relationships.
How much time should a child be spending online or playing apps and games? Do you still want to wait and let it destroy our new generation's growth? STOP! STOP! STOP! The use of CUT, COPY AND PASTE, is killing the beauty and understanding of languages and changed communication patterns. Why not cut on use of technology, copy the limited use of technology and paste anew formula for upbringing a healthy new generation.

SharePoint site theming
SharePoint site owners have new options for applying custom styles and colors to sites that make it easier to define and manage themes across site collections.
These new features include:
- The ability to define custom themes and make them available to site owners. Themes are defined in a JSON schema that stores color settings and related metadata for each theme.
- An online Theme Generator tool that you can use to define new custom themes.
- A simplified set of default themes, with six light themes and two dark themes presently available.
- An updated color palette, with 12 light colors and 6 dark colors, as well as 16 supplementary themes.
- Control over which themes are available for use on pages within your sites. For example, you can define custom themes based on your organization's branding or identity, and make those the only available themes within your sites.
These capabilities are available to administrators via PowerShell cmdlets, and to developers via the SharePoint client-side object model (CSOM) or the SharePoint REST API. For information on applying custom themes to individual site collections see SharePoint site design and site script overview.
For general information about working with themes to customize the look of your sites, see Change the look of your SharePoint site.
Default themes
The following predefined themes are available by default:
- Teal
- Blue
- Orange
- Red
- Purple
- Green
- Gray
- Periwinkle
- Dark Yellow (inverted theme)
- Dark Blue (inverted theme)
These themes have been designed for readability, so you might find them to be useful starting points for creating custom themes. For more information about default themes, see SharePoint site theming: JSON schema.
In addition to the default themes, you can select from supplementary themes. The following customizations are available:
- Light themes: Gold, Teal, Dark Blue, Indigo, Plum, Warm Gray
- Dark themes: Red, Green, Purple, Gray
Select a modern theme
To select from the available themes for a SharePoint site, choose the gear icon (⚙) in the top right corner of the screen, select Change the look, then select theme. You'll be presented with a list of themes to choose from, which might include default themes and/or custom themes depending on how your site has been configured.
The following image shows how the default themes are presented in the theme picker dialog box.
When you choose a theme in the list, those color settings are instantly applied to the page so that you can see what the selected theme will look like.
After you've found a theme that you want to use, choose Save to save your selection, or choose Cancel to revert to your current theme.
Work with classic themes
You can still use the classic themes by choosing the link to Classic change the look options at the bottom of the Change the look panel. Because the modern SharePoint UI differs from the classic UI, however, some limitations apply when you use classic themes with modern pages.
When you select a classic theme, a modern theme is generated from the settings in the classic theme, including the isInverted flag, the background image, and the color settings for ContentAccent1, PageBackground, and BackgroundOverlay. If isInverted is set to True, neutral colors such as NeutralDark and NeutralLight will be reversed.
For the simplest experience, we recommend that you use modern themes with modern pages. If you need to use classic themes with modern pages, test your site carefully to verify that your content is readable and accessible.
Troubleshoot custom theme issues
The modern site theming experience has been rolled out to classic site templates, too. While the new client-side theming architecture is more performant, if you have customizations on classic sites that aren't rendering properly after you change the site's theme, you can opt the site out of the new theming experience by disabling the feature. Please note, this opt-out only applies to classic sites where you have custom theme references that aren't rendering properly. By enabling this site-level opt-out you will disable the modern theming - and also lose the fast theming benefits it provides.
To do this, you must use a Windows PowerShell script with a CSOM (client-side object model) wrapper. We recommend using the PnP PowerShell enable feature command:
Verify that you meet the following minimum requirements:
- You are at least a site collection owner on the site where you want to disable modern site themes
- You have read about Execution Policies
Download the latest PnP PowerShell.
PnP PowerShell is an open-source solution with active community providing support for it. There is no SLA for the open-source tool support from Microsoft.
Connect-PnPOnline -Url <SiteUrl> -UseWebLogin(replacing
<SiteUrl>with the url of the site you wish to opt out of).
Enter your credentials when prompted.
To opt out of the site, you need to enable a feature:
- Enter
Get-PnPFeature -Scope Site -Identity 5138468E-3D76-4F72-9DE4-E029F1245A7B
- Verify that nothing is returned from the previous command (this confirms the feature isn't enabled yet)
- Enter
Enable-PnPFeature -Scope Site -Identity 5138468E-3D76-4F72-9DE4-E029F1245A7B
- Enter
Get-PnPFeature -Scope Site -Identity 5138468E-3D76-4F72-9DE4-E029F1245A7B
- Enter
Verify that the following is returned:

Which soy protein powder is best?
Getting enough protein in your diet can be more challenging than it seems, especially if you live an active lifestyle. Soy protein powders can supplement your diet with essential amino acids, protein and other nutrients.
For anyone following a strict diet, soy protein powder is an excellent way to bolster your protein intake. If you want a high-quality soy protein powder, consider Now Sports Soy Protein Isolate Protein Powder. You'll get 20 grams of protein per scoop, and it mixes easily with other juices and smoothies.
What to know before you buy a soy protein powder
If you follow a regular diet, you have the freedom to take other kinds of protein powders. However, for those following a strict diet such as vegan or keto, a soy protein powder is a great way to get a healthy dose of protein. Soy protein powders usually contain only two ingredients, soy protein and soy lecithin, so you don't need to worry about consuming animal byproducts or foods that go against your diet.
Soy protein vs. whey protein
Soy protein powders have soy protein isolate, which is derived from soybeans. Soy protein isolate is high in protein, but low in carbohydrates, so it doesn't naturally have a pleasant taste or texture.
Whey protein isolate is derived from dairy, usually cow's milk. And both soy and whey protein have a thorough essential amino acid profile. However, if you're looking to build lean muscle mass or lose weight, whey proteins have a higher concentration of amino acids that facilitate these things, making them ideal.
Side effects
If you have a weak stomach, you might experience side effects when taking protein powders. Since soy protein powders don't contain any animal byproducts, the chances of experiencing side effects such as diarrhea, nausea, indigestion, acne breakouts or bloating are significantly lower, but they're still possible.
If you experience unpleasant symptoms after drinking soy protein, stop immediately and consult your physician before trying another one.
What to look for in a quality soy protein powder
High protein
The whole point of consuming soy protein powder is to get a good protein fix, so it's best to find one offering a high amount per serving. Generally, most whey protein powders provide 18-30 grams, but soy protein powders usually have less, roughly 15 to 24. Usually, the less protein, the easier a powder is on your stomach and digestive system. If you need an additional boost, you can always increase the volume of your servings.
Low carbohydrates
Many people who take protein diet supplements do so to get enough nutrients while lowering their daily caloric intake. This is done to facilitate weight loss, but it's not as effective if carbohydrates are prevalent in the diet. A protein powder with a low amount of total carbohydrates, typically under 2 grams, is ideal if you want to lose weight.
No artificial sweeteners, colors or additional flavors
Flavorless protein powders can be a drag, but if you can't find one with a low concentration of natural sugars, you're better off going with a pure flavorless powder. Artificial sweeteners act as a substitute for natural sugars, and while that may sound appealing, they can increase sugar cravings and promote weight gain.
How much you can expect to spend on soy protein powder
It depends on the size, but for a container of 1 to 2 pounds, expect to pay $10-$25. However, some can cost up to $40, depending on their ingredients and nutrient profile.
Soy protein powder FAQ
Is soy protein powder safe during pregnancy?
A. Yes. However, like everything else, it's best to monitor your soy protein intake and consume it in moderation.
Is soy protein a complete protein?
A. Yes, it contains nine essential amino acids.
Are there any health benefits of soy protein?
A. Soy protein can promote a healthier digestive system. Also, a meta-analysis of 46 studies reviewed by the FDA found that soy protein can reduce low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels.

Why Fans will love this and Critics will hate it...
With the recent Batman v. Superman movie, Suicide Squad stacks up just as nicely as you would think. They played the part well as if the previous Batman v Superman movie happened. So if you were one of the few who haven't seen Batman v. Superman, then you will need to close your eyes for the first few minutes of this movie to avoid a major spoiler alert.
I'm sure you have already saw that the critics aren't giving this movie much high hopes, well they maybe right about a few things, but they are not right on whether this movie is good or not. If you are a fan of the 'Summertime Blockbusters' then you will for sure like this movie. You will need to get a big bucket of buttery popcorn and just enjoy this movie like no tomorrow.
Will Smith seems like he is the focal villain in this movie. He has the most camera time, and the back story of a character that the audience can get behind and hope he does well. More then likely we will be seeing more of his villain Deadshot in the future.
The one thing almost all critics got right is Jared Leto as the Joker. Of course you can top Heath Ledger, but dang does Jared Leto come super close.
Don't listen to any critics, go see this movie. You will enjoy it. Make sure you stay through the credits for a extra bit of future movie information.

What would I have changed? (Spoilers)
Now I see where if they would have never tried to put this group together, the whole story would have never happen. They just needed to contain the witch and then not waster time on the actual Suicide Squad.
