text: Year 8 saw some more lessons and lots of different staff In year 8 we chose our Options Year 8 Science Week was great. Some weren't quite so sure Sometimes we have been out as part of our course- in Geography we went to London, ending up at Stratford. It reminded us of the summer of 2012 I am sure that Mr Maher still smiles when he passes his gold post box. We supported the Trussell Trust by sending food to the Food bank. Some of us also went on a netball tour and also to an outdoor pursuits centre. The staff had good fun too. The Science and Engineering Club is one of the best clubs in school. There are other clubs too such as the Rubik Cube club. Sport , Drama and Music are also important at County High We finished off the year with events such as Sports Day - a sponsored event Pictue to be inserted and some of us went to Boulogne.

A few months ago I was hungry but didn't have much in the fridge or pantry to eat. But I did have a piece of chicken, rice and soy sauce so I thought I'd try to figure out how to make chicken fried rice. What I discovered was it's like a po-boy in that you can just throw in a bunch of ingredients you have, and it's really good.
The great thing about chicken fried rice is that you don't have to have all these ingredients to still make it and it be good. And most of the main ingredients you probably have in your house all the time so at any point you should be good to go. I've bolded the ingredients you must have.
Vegetable oil
Boneless skinless chicken breast (take it out if you only want fried rice)
White rice
English peas
Green onion
Soy sauce
First boil the white rice. Cook it completely, and it should take about 15-20 minutes. While you are doing that put about two tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium to high heat. Cut the chicken breast into cubes and place into the skillet, cooking for about 2 minutes on each side.
Chop up about 1/4 of a large onion and 3-4 garlic cloves (you can just use the pre-chopped garlic if you want to). Place onion and garlic into the skillet after chicken is cooked. After a few minutes put the rice in the skillet and reduce to medium heat.
While you are doing all this, whisk an egg and place it in a small skillet. Allow it to cook like you would an omelet, and once it has turn the heat off and cut the egg into small pieces.
If you want to use carrots, English peas or green onion, then put them in along with the egg. Put in a teaspoon of butter continuing to stir.
Put in enough soy sauce so that the rice turns a nice light brown while you are stirring it. Once it has reached that color, pack down the rice on the skillet and let it sit for 2-3 minutes. Flip the rice and let it sit on the other side for 2-3 minutes - this will allow the rice to sear a little and just creates a better texture.
Yum Yum Sauce
If you are going to have chicken friend rice, you need some yum yum sauce to go with it. It's really simple.
Melt a teaspoon of butter in a bowl. Add a tablespoon of mayonnaise, 1/4 teaspoon of ketchup and 1/4 teaspoon of sugar and stir until you get a good consistency - you may need to add mayo or ketchup to get the right light pink color. I like to just pour that yum yum sauce all over the rice.
This recipe feeds 3 people, two if you're really hungry.

Mississippians may be freed from needing a medical referral to see most acupuncture practitioners.
The Senate on Monday unanimously passed a bill that exempts any acupuncture practitioner, licensed in the state for more than five years, from needing a doctor's referral before treating patients.
Although the bill passed the Senate with no debate, the same wasn't true in a Public Health committee last week.
At that time, Sen. Terry Burton, R-Newton, pushed for a re-evaluation of the referrals process. He said that his own referral for acupuncture, from a cosmetic surgeon, smacks of bureaucracy, given how little cosmetic surgery has to do with acupuncture.
"Right now any physician, regardless of whether you know anything about acupuncture, can refer a patient," Burton said. "I know someone, the one standing in front of you today, who was referred by a plastic surgeon."
"The right thing to do is to let acupuncturist who has had very very specialized training, thousands and thousands of hours of training, get licensed to practice adequately and properly and then we can do away with this silly referral that we have in the law," Burton said.
The original legislation proposed eliminating referrals altogether. Ultimately, Burton proposed an amendment that capped the referral requirement after an acupuncture practitioner has been licensed in the state for five years.
Some senators said the referral process added a necessary degree of medical oversight to the treatment.
"I believe anyone who's gone through medical school and a residency program is qualified to (make a referral). I believe in the referral process, and I'm working to improve the referral process," said Sen. David Blount, D-Jackson, in the committee meeting last week. "But I believe anyone who's gone through (medical) training has the background to make that determination."
The bill now moves on to the House for consideration.

The Right to Campaign Without a Response: Analysis of Arizona Free Enterprise
The Supreme Court issued a surprising decision on Monday in Arizona Free Enterprise Club's Freedom Club PAC v. Bennett by almost any measure. Perhaps the only way to make sense of the 5-4 opinion, sharply divided along ideological lines, is that the majority (including CJ Roberts and Justices Scalia, Kennedy, Thomas, and Alito) has found a new right in the First Amendment: the right of well endowed political candidates to speak without a response.
To see this, start with the trend in the Roberts Court's free speech jurisprudence. In just the last two terms, the Court has expressed a strong preference for more speech, not less speech, on something like a marketplace-of-ideas theory. Thus the Court has overturned a ban on crush videos (U.S. v. Stevens) ruled against a state tort claim against highly offensive funeral protestors (Snyder v. Phelps) and ruled in against restrictions on corporate and union spending on electioneering communications (Citizens United v. FEC) On the same day as it issued Arizona Free Enterprise Club, it overturned California's ban on violent video games (Brown v. Entertainment Merchants). All of these cases, and others, are rife with language expressing the Court's preference for more speech.
So too Arizona Free Enterprise. But this case is different. Here, there was no evidence that Arizona's public financing system--which provided a lump sum to participating candidates, and then a supplemental grant matching nearly dollar-for-dollar the expenditures of a non-participating opponent (and his or her supporters) above the lump sum grant--reduced anyone's speech. The lower courts in the case described the evidence of any reduction in campaign speech by non-participating candidates who were facing publicly financed candidates as "vague" and "scattered," at best. Even the majority recognized this, writing that "it is never easy to prove a negative." At the same time, Arizona's public financing system undoubtedly increased speech, because it allowed participating candidates to speak more.
So given the Court's preference for more speech, why did the 5-Justice majority rule against Arizona's public financing system? One possibility is that it valued the "vague" and "scattered" evidence of reduced speech by non-participating candidates over the State of Arizona's own findings and interests. But this seems wholly inconsistent with the way the Court operates. The Supreme Court, like other appellate courts, takes the factual record as basically established and ought not cherry-pick evidence (from 6 pages out of a 4500 page record) that favors its interpretation over the lower courts' interpretations. But even if this kind of fact were wide open to reevaluation by the Court, the Court should at least balance the weight of evidence--the couple of anecdotal accounts, with no empirical support, against the State of Arizona's findings and interests. In this balance, the State clearly wins. But not so here. Here, the Court doesn't seem interested in whether Arizona's public financing system deters speech in fact; it's only interested in whether it deters speech in its own theory.
Another possibility is that the Court sees Arizona's system as a kind of punishment for a non-participating candidate's speech, when the non-participating candidate expends more than the initial grant for the publicly financed candidate. The majority says as much, when CJ Roberts writes that a candidate's willingness to "bear the burden of spending above the cap . . . does not make the law any less burdensome." But if this is right--as the majority itself says--then the majority sees a participating candidate's speech as a kind of punishment for the non-participating candidate. In other words: more speech by the participating candidate is a punishment for the non-participating candidate. This seems utterly at odds with the Court's own preference for more speech.
The only possibility left is that the majority simply found a new First Amendment right: the right of non-participating candidates to speak without a response.
Given that the Court did not touch traditional, lump-sum public financing schemes, this right is a somewhat limited one. This new right extends only to campaign expenditures by non-participating candidates above the level of the initial lump sum grant to participating candidates. And in theory, states can raise the lump sum amount to any level--of course, they cannot in reality--effectively eviscerating the right.
But if the Court has effectively found this new First Amendment right of non-participating candidates to speak without a response, it seems the next target for this Court must be the traditional, lump-sum public financing scheme. After all, if a state did raise its initial lump-sum in an way that interfered with the the right, then, well, it would interfere with the right.
For now, the traditional lump-sum scheme is safe. But by the majority's reckoning, it looks like it could be next on the chopping block.
Because no one is required to participate, this does not strike me as much of a problem. And, with due respect to J. Kagan, "Some people might call [this] chutzpah[:]" a candidate lets the state bankroll her campaign and then complains that accepting the taxpayer's money is not without consequences even though she could have spurned the taxpayer's money and been free to respond to all non-participating candidates.

We help manage this damaging eye disease in Colorado Springs
Diabetic retinopathy, a disease that only affects people with diabetes, occurs when the delicate vascular network of the retina begins to leak or swell. The retina is made up of light-sensitive tissue that helps you see; when it is damaged, your vision is impaired. Our eye doctors at Executive Park Eye Care will examine your eyes thoroughly during a comprehensive eye exam to check for signs of this disease. During the early stages, diabetic retinopathy is often symptomless and only a complete evaluation of your ocular health will identify the disease.
As diabetic retinopathy progresses and the retinal bleeding becomes more severe, dark or black spots or blurry vision may appear in your visual field. This bleeding occurs at the back of your eye, and therefore clear images cannot be conveyed from the retina to your brain.
It doesn't matter what type of diabetes you have, anyone with type 1, type 2 or gestational diabetes is at risk for retinopathy. The risk increases with the amount of time that you've had diabetes. Poorly controlled diabetes raises your risk even higher, and therefore it's critical to maintain blood sugar levels as normal as possible. Regular visits to your primary care physician and/or your endocrinologist may be need to help you keep your diabetes controlled properly.
Diabetic Retinopathy Treatment offered at our Colorado Springs optometry practice
A cure for retinopathy does not yet exist, yet the earlier it is diagnosed, the easier it is to treat.
When done before the retina has suffered extreme damage, photocoagulation (a laser treatment performed by an ophthalmologist) generally has a high success rate at preventing vision loss. Another medical procedure that often improves vision is a vitrectomy, in which the vitreous gel of your eye is removed surgically. When diabetic retinopathy is very advanced, injections of a medicine that shrinks new blood vessels may be done.
If you've been treated for diabetic retinopathy, you'll need to visit an eye doctor for frequent eye exams and monitoring. In our Colorado Springs clinic, our optometrists will help manage your condition by keeping a watch for any changes. Additionally, it's very important that you control your blood sugars well. Together, regular eye exams and good glucose control go far towards preventing retinopathy from getting worse.

When Sartaj and David came in union under the Cuvier Club's roof they perfected the essence of a great party. They blended both traditional Indian melodies and dance with the best of the American bread modern music and catchy moves like "The Point" born from John Travolta's Saturday Night Fever. The beats mixed in perfect harmony and we have the video to prove it!
The food was an absolute gem, you can practically taste how amazing it was through the pictures alone. Our mouth was watering from the smell, and the taste, it was indescribable.
The entire evening was very unique. It started with the marriage of the couple by a Guru. This took place in our foyer next to the fireplace, with hundreds of blankets laid on the floor on which guests could sit. The foyer became a sacred site while the wedding was in progress. Shortly after, everyone adjourned outside for a beautiful sunny cocktail hour in our new Outdoor Bougainvillea Garden. After the meet and greets, everyone wandered inside of the ruby-lit Grand Ballroom for food and entertainment. It was fun to be a part of such a truly unique event that really utilized a lot of the different aspects of Cuvier Club!

FAQ Record labels
Worldwide, most label contracts include a specific rule. They don't actually allow their artists to be signed to multiple labels at once. However, there are ways to circumvent this. Through either loopholes in those contracts or by gaining permission from the labels, on rare occasions artists may be able to release certain records (sometimes limited to "non-albums", ie. EPs, singles, mixtapes, etc.) on other record labels. Always keep this in mind when you sign a contract with a record label.
In the music industry, a 360 deal (from 360° deal) is a business relationship between an artist and a music industry company. The music industry company will actively try to develop new opportunities for the artist. They will function as a pseudo-manager. In return, according to the 360 deal, the artist agrees to give the company a percentage of an increased number of their revenue streams. In a 360 deal this often includes a percentage of sales of recorded music worldwide, live performances, royalties, publishing and more. Costs for packaging, budget records and other costs might be deducted from the artist's royalties as well.
When an artist signs a deal with a label, they should see themselves as an investment of the record label. Artists don't get paid if they are with a record label. The record label lends them money that is to be paid back if/when the artist makes it. Suppose that a music label gives a band a $250,000 advance to record an album. The label agrees to do so in return for 90% of the sales. This percentage can vary from label to label and from artist to artist.
In most cases, when signing with a "major" record label, the label will offer the artist a large cash advance. This can be used for anything and everything in the artist's music career. Keep in mind though, that every dime the record label invests in the artist, they expect to get back. If the music label never recoups what they've invested in the artist, the artist will never see any of the royalties that their music generated. All of that advanced money must first be paid back to the record label.
The music industry is a highly competitive and constantly evolving field, with a wide variety of record labels vying for the attention of audiences and artists alike. Among the most well-known and influential of these labels are the "big four": Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, Warner Music Group, and EMI.
Universal Music Group
Universal Music Group (UMG) is the largest record label in the world, with a diverse roster of artists spanning multiple genres. Founded in 1934, UMG has a rich history of discovering and promoting some of the biggest names in music, including Lady Gaga, Kendrick Lamar, and Taylor Swift. In addition to its impressive artist roster, UMG also owns a number of influential music publishing companies, such as Polygram and the Rondor Music Group.
Sony Music Entertainment
Sony Music Entertainment (SME) is another major player in the music industry, with a strong focus on pop and electronic music. Founded in 1929, SME has a long history of fostering the careers of some of the biggest names in the business, such as Michael Jackson, Beyoncé, and Calvin Harris. The company also owns a number of record labels, including Columbia, RCA, and Epic.
Warner Music Group
Warner Music Group (WMG) is known for its diverse roster of artists, spanning multiple genres including rock, pop, and hip-hop. Founded in 1958, WMG has a rich history of discovering and promoting some of the biggest names in music, including Led Zeppelin, Madonna, and Ed Sheeran. The company also owns a number of influential record labels, such as Atlantic, Warner Bros., and Reprise.
EMI is one of the oldest record labels in the world, having been founded in 1931. Throughout its history, EMI has been at the forefront of the music industry, discovering and promoting some of the biggest names in the business, including The Beatles, Coldplay, and Pink Floyd. EMI was acquired by Universal Music Group in 2012.
The days, record labels can have an elaborate list of duties. The details my vary per music label. In most cases, record labels work directly with artists and producers to coordinate the writing and production of the recordings. After this, the coordination of the manufacturing follows and subsequently the distribution, marketing, promotion of the recording. All this is done to ensure the recording sells well around the world.
The shorter the release time for compression, the louder a signal will be. The reason is that it takes less time for amplitude to return to normal after being compressed. Short release times cause distortion but the effect can have a beneficial result.
The distortion will amplify the signal, causing it to sound even louder, but this may not be ideal. A good mid-ground for your release time is 50ms if you do not want any distortion.
The general consensus is to use a short release time for all compression, but each compressor has its own quirks and you should experiment with the right settings.
Mastering can do a lot for your song but it really can't fix it. This has to do with several factors. For starters, a mastering engineer deals with a track on macro levels. It can not effectively fix issues on a micro level. As you can probably imagine, mastering can't add delays to just your vocal track. Despite the skills and experience of a mastering engineer, getting a good result naturally also depends on the material they have to work with.
For those who have never heard of LANDR before, we'll explain. It's basically an online, automated mastering service. So, it doesn't use human beings on the back end and it's driven by an algorithm. You simply upload your tracks to this service and it automatically masters them. Then it allows you to download them instantly. Although it works okay, the system can never replace a real professional mastering engineer like audiobyray.com.
The first spot is taken bij Abbey Road Studios, which is of course one of the world's most iconic (mastering) studios. Runner-up is BandLab, which has become popular among indie musicians and artist. The third place goes out to Landr, a completely online and on algorithm based mastering platform. Fourth is Cloudbound, a mastering tool that is available 24/7. On the fifth spot we find Metropolis Studios and last but not least is eMastered. But of course, you can always choose for personal contact with a professional mastering engineer like audiobyray.com.
Not everyone thinks the same on the matter of whether or not sending music into a professional mastering studio is a necessity. If the mix doesn't need any modifying, this means that it is at a perfect volume level, the fades are well done, the EQ is consistent throughout, the compression is right on, and so on. In that case there's no need for mastering. If these basics are not covered, audiobyray mastering can help you out.
Mastering is the final step of audio post-production. The purpose of audio mastering is to balance sonic elements of a stereo mix. Mastering helps to optimize playback across all systems and media formats. Traditionally, mastering uses several tools like equalization, limiting, compression and stereo enhancement. Audiobyray.com is a specialist in all of the above.

Strain: Double Congo
Strain Type: 100% Sativa
Seed Format:Regular (male-female)
Genetics: Congo Pointe Noire x Congo Black F2
Flowering time: 12-13 weeks
Yield: Medium-High
Aromas: fresh floral, incense, carroty and fine woods
Effect: Potent, clear and active sativa high
Developed by: HdB ( IT ), aeritos ( SP ), Phrenos ( SP )
The first line we had when thought on starting this Project was Congo Pointe Noire, an excellent sativa we´ve enjoyed all these years since HdB discover it and started to work with her.
We were very lucky some years after, to find another african enthusiast, located in South Africa: African Herbman. AH is a great person in close contact with the best ganja and lines of the Continent, improving and mantaining them. He always explained us the potential Congo Black had, we decided it was the perfect mach that could improve our Pointe Noire.
It took us a time to find the right male to be used to create the Congolese F1. Our selection was a vigorous, productive and very odorous male. He passed all our stress tests and has a strong firm sex with no herma traits. Descendancy finally give us the chance to see it was a good choice.
Congo Black adds a bigger resin layer in flower time. A good stretch be should expected when changing to 12/12 but it is true some will mantain more compact in structure and forming flowers.
Congolese essence remains in the classic fresh floral, carroty and fine woods scents. Ready to be cut in around 12-13 weeks.
We recommend curing the flowers some months and then be prepared to enjoy this classic sativa smoke : and african for the enthusiasts. Nice complete bouquet : fresh floral, incense, carroty and fine woods. Potent, clear and active sativa high you shouldnt miss.

We've prepared a collection of improvements that we're going to make to Alterac Valley in WoW Classic over the next few days. Our goal is to make surgical adjustments that address some of the more prominent pain points and unfortunate behaviors, without cracking open the substance of the battleground.
As Soon As Possible
We're working on a hotfix that will go live soon that will make honorless targets unlootable. This is intended to further discourage camping the starting caves as an efficient activity.
With Scheduled Weekly Maintenance
Several concurrent adjustments should positively affect the initial state of each instance of Alterac Valley:
Alterac Valley will now allow parties of up to 5 players to queue together. When a party queues together, they will be placed into the same battleground.
There will no longer be a number in the name of the battleground in the "Enter Battle" screen.
We're fixing a setting that allowed the battleground to start with as few as 20 players on a team.
Soon After the Weekly Honor and Raid Reset
In WoW Classic (and original WoW), players who get fewer than 15 kills aren't given any rank progress, and are given a standing amongst other players who had fewer than 15 kills. This standing is ignored and causes confusion, so it will no longer be displayed.
Finally, we're updating the calculation of diminishing returns to match patch 1.12 of original WoW. When WoW Classic first launched the Honor System, we made the decision to decrease Honor by 25% per repeated kill. With world PvP being the only option for obtaining Honor at that time, this made sense. Now, PvP has primarly moved to battlegrounds where repetitious engagements can happen with much greater frequency. Starting next week, Honor will now decrease by 10% per repeated kill in both battlegrounds and world PvP.

The Turkish online library provides an opportunity for everyone to access academic data, he said, adding that approximately 60 universities can currently reach the archives at 111.hiperkitap.com.
After creating the necessary infrastructure, the library will also be available for everyone, said Yavuz.
"This is a new issue in Turkey. We started by transferring the content to the cyber environment," he said, adding that some of the publishing houses were currently renewing their deals with writers.
"Since 2009, we have signed a deal with more than 200 publishing houses and we transformed more than 3,000 books to a web-based environment," Yavuz said, adding that with the new subscriptions, the number of books had reached 3,500.
The company's first aim is to reach the academic world, Yavuz said, noting the number of scholars that were already subscribing to the system. "We have completed our first trial period. All the tests are completed and we have created the HiperKitap project."
Yavuz said they had received many offers from universities and added that 23 universities signed up to the project initially.
This system also makes distance learning easier, said the company's general manager, adding that the system would contribute to all kind of academic research.
This system can also be used in public libraries, said Yavuz, adding that with the support of the Culture and Tourism Ministry, the company presented the system in 500 public libraries during Library Week. "We have received much positive feedback."
"We need to develop this system and not limit ourselves just to Turkey," said Yavuz.

What we've achieved together
In just two years we've achieved some amazing things. As we look forward, we remember where we've come from and the wins along the way.
Regular monthly donations are the best way to support the work of Common Grace as we become movement-funded.
Not only does monthly donating enables us to budget and plan, it ensures that we give our energy to the work that we believe is most important, rather than to ongoing urgent fundraising.
Monthly donating is also an affordable option for many of our Common Grace members who believe in and benefit from our ongoing work, and who who rarely find themselves with enough spare cash to donate an amount that reflects their heart, but can find a smaller sum once a month.
Every donation helps us, no matter how big or small and regardless of whether it is a once off or a regular one... but we have to say that we are especially grateful for the provision of our monthly donors!
In just two years we've achieved some amazing things. As we look forward, we remember where we've come from and the wins along the way.
As our world becomes increasingly divided, our movement of passionate Christians embodying Jesus gracious and compassionate voice is needed now more than ever before.
Common Grace is a movement of people like you, a collective of passionate Christians who believe the gospel calls us to pursue justice in Jesus' name.
Without the support of our movement we cannot exist, and ask you to consider how you can support Common Grace in 2017.

Need review of Russian-personals.com
Bob's Answer:
I have never heard of it, but here's the impression I get from just looking through it a little...
On the upside:
- It's FREE, so there's no financial downside to trying it.
- It looks like it has a good sized database and site features.
- And somewhat importantly, it LOOKS authentic. What I mean is that the home page and search results are not filled with only super-hot women. Yes, there are attractive women, but sites that have ONLY supermodels everywhere are questionable.
The downside:
I really don't KNOW that this is a downside, but as a free site they will almost sure occasionally be exploited by scammers, so you would definitely need to keep your guard up.
Give it a shot and then come back here and post your findings... Just add a comment to this post.

Researchers could improve how produce shipped
September 9, 2014 By University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences
September 9, 2014, Gainesville, FL – A University of Florida-led research team's development of a tracking system could change the way companies ship fresh fruits and vegetables, letting them know which produce is closest to expiration and providing consumers the freshest products available.
Jeffrey Brecht, director of the UF Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences' Center for Food Distribution and Retailing, studied strawberries beginning with their harvesting from fields in Florida and California to their delivery to stores in Illinois, Washington, Alabama and South Carolina.
Colleagues from the University of South Florida, Georgia Tech and industry partners collaborated on the project, funded by a $155,000 grant from the Wal-Mart Foundation. Brecht delivered a presentation recently on his findings at the International Horticultural Congress in Brisbane, Australia.
The researchers placed two radio frequency identification (RFID) devices into each pallet of strawberries as they were picked. The devices allowed them to track the strawberries' temperature from the field, through pre-cooling and into trucks (which can hold 28 pallets), to distribution centers and then on to stores.
Their theory is that if you know the quality of the produce and the temperatures to which it has been exposed, you will know which produce to deliver first to stores.
They specifically researched the theory of "first in–first out," known as FIFO in the food distribution industry. And they found that "first expired-first out," or FEFO, was a better way to distribute delicate fruits and vegetables.
Companies normally measure only the temperature of an entire truck. But Brecht explained that individual pallets can vary greatly in temperature, depending on what time of the day berries were picked and even their placement on the truck. Strawberries picked in the cool of the morning and placed on a refrigerated truck would stay fresher longer than strawberries picked in the afternoon heat.
Brecht said under perfect conditions, strawberries can maintain a good quality, based on researchers' scale of what's acceptable, for up to 14 days. Less than perfect conditions, mainly due to a lack of temperature control, drastically reduce the berries' postharvest life. It can take as long as four days to go from field to store, but that would be for a cross-country trip, such as from California to South Carolina.
Maintaining good quality, he said, helps consumers buy what is freshest and reduces food waste.
"If you improve the efficiency of postharvest handling, you reduce waste and losses and that improves sustainability," Brecht said. "Because, of course, if you ship something to market that's not going to end up being eaten by consumers, every single bit of input in growing it, harvesting, packing, cooling, shipping – everything is wasted."

This is a great article post by Jenreviews.com with permission I am able to share this with my wonderful clients and future clients.
In 2015 9,4 % of the American population had diabetes, according to the American Diabetes Association. That is 30 million people with diabetes and the organisation also reported that 84,1 million Americans had prediabetes, meaning they have elevated blood glucose levels, but not high enough to be considered diabetic. 1,5 million Americans are diagnosed with type 2 diabetes every year and diabetes is the 7th leading cause of death in America. Type 2 diabetics make up the majority of people with diabetes. Furthermore, an estimated 415 million people worldwide had been diagnosed with diabetes.
The signs of having diabetes can be various and the consequences can plentiful. Diabetes is an illness that can be debilitating, lower your life quality, and even have fatal consequences as a result of the additional diseases and conditions you can develop if your diabetes is not managed properly – but did you know, that diabetes be managed through your diet?
The food you consume and the fluids you ingest impact your body in numerous ways. Sugar of one kind or another are present in most foods, in varying amounts. This sugar, be it sucrose, fructose, or galactose, needs to be separated from the food in order to be broken down and used by the body. This happens with the help of insulin. In short, insulin is a pancreatic hormone that transports sugar from food into the body's cells to be used for fuel when needed. The body's resistance to insulin is measured by its ability to remove glucose (sugar) from the blood and thereby maintaining stable blood glucose levels.
Diabetes is a medical condition that occurs when your body is unable to produce enough insulin to regulate the blood glucose levels, or if your body cannot use its produced insulin efficiently enough. This causes the sugar to stay in the blood stream instead of entering the cells, thus resulting in high blood glucose levels.
There are three types of diabetes: Type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is a genetic, auto-immune disease where the body turns on itself, instructing the immune system to falsely deactivate the pancreas rendering it unable to produce insulin. This type of diabetes usually runs in the family and cannot be prevented or modified with diet or exercise, although a healthy diet is recommended to help prevent additional illnesses that often occur in the wake of diabetes. People with type 1 diabetes depend on daily insulin injections or an insulin pump to help their body turn glucose into energy.
Type 2 diabetes is usually caused by lifestyle choices and circumstances. While you are definitely at a greater risk of developing type 2 diabetes if there is a family history of diabetes, the risk greatly increases if you are overweight or obese, physically inactive, or aging. These risk factors mean that where there used to be a prevalence of older people getting type 2 diabetes due to aging, now there is a surge in diabetes in children and teenagers due to poor dietary choices and an inactive lifestyle.
Certain ethnic groups, such as Pacific Islanders, Indians, Native Americans, and Mexican Americans are also at a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
Type 2 diabetes is a progressive illness and the treatment is dependent on the stage at which it is diagnosed. Symptoms include pronounced dizziness, an involuntary increase in weight, a constant feeling of hunger and thirst, frequent urination, headaches, and mood swings. While there is no cure for diabetes, preventative measures can be taken if you are diagnosed as prediabetic, and there are multiple steps you can take to manage it after being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
The last type of diabetes is gestational diabetes, which can occur during pregnancy. Pregnant women are especially vulnerable to the condition if they have a family history of diabetes, are overweight, if they are over the age of thirty, or if they have experienced gestational diabetes in previous pregnancies. The condition rarely requires insulin treatment and can usually be managed with diet. Most often gestational diabetes disappears again after birth.

By MATTHEW BROWN , JAMES ANDERSON and CHRISTINA LARSON
YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo. — The saucer-sized footprints in the mud around the bloody, disemboweled Bison carcass were unmistakable: wolves.
A pack of 35 named after a nearby snow-dusted promontory, Junction Butte, now were snoozing on a hillside above the carcass. Tourists dressed against the weather watched the pack through spotting scopes from about a mile away.
"Wolves are my main thing. There's something about their eyes — it's mystifying," said Ann Moore, who came from Ohio to fulfill a life-long wish to glimpse the animals.
Such encounters have become daily occurrences in Yellowstone after gray wolves rebounded in parts of the American West with remarkable speed following their reintroduction 25 years ago.
It started with a few dozen wolves brought in crates from Canada to Yellowstone and central Idaho. Others wandered down into northwest Montana. Thriving on big game herds, the population boomed to more than 300 packs comprising some 2,000 wolves, occupying territory that touches six states and stretches from the edge of the Great Plains to the forests of the Pacific Northwest.
Now the 2020 election offers an opportunity to jumpstart the wolf's expansion southward into the heart of the Rocky Mountains. A Colorado ballot initiative would reintroduce wolves on the state's Western Slope. It comes after the Trump administration on Thursday lifted protections for wolves across most of the U.S., including Colorado, putting their future in the hands of state wildlife agencies.
Jacob W. Frank, National Park Service via AP file A wolf in the road near Artist Paintpots in Yellowstone National Park, Wyo.
The Colorado effort, if successful, could fill a significant gap in the species' historical range, creating a bridge between the Northern Rockies gray wolves and Mexican gray wolves in the Southwest.
"Colorado is the mother lode, the final piece," said Mike Phillips, who led the Yellowstone reintroduction project and now serves in the Montana Senate.
Yet the prospect of wolves is riling Colorado livestock producers, who see them as a threat their forbears vanquished once from the high elevation forests where cattle graze public lands. Hunters worry they'll decimate herds of Elk and deer.
It's a replay of animosity a quarter-century ago when federal wildlife officials released the first wolves into Yellowstone. The species had been annihilated across most of the contiguous U.S. in the early 1900s by government-sponsored poisoning, trapping and bounty hunting.
Initiative opponents have seized on s ightings of wolves in recent years in northwestern Colorado as evidence the predator already has arrived and reintroduction isn't necessary.
"We can live with a few wolves. It's the massive amount that scares me," said Janie VanWinkle, a rancher in Mesa County near Grand Junction, Colorado.
VanWinkle's great grandparents shot wolves on sight up until the early 1940s, she said, when the last wolves in Colorado were killed. The family runs cattle on two promontories with names from that era — Wolf Hill and Dead Horse Point.
But Mesa County's population has increased more than five-fold since wolves last roamed there, to more than 150,000, and VanWinkle sees little room for the animals among farms and the growing crowds of backcountry recreationists.
"Things have changed," she said.
The pack that showed up in northwest Colorado last year is believed to have come from the Northern Rockies through Wyoming, where wolves can be killed at will outside the Yellowstone region.
Even under the Endangered Species Act, thousands of wolves were shot over the past two decades for preying on livestock and, more recently, by hunters.
But rancor that long defined the region's wolf restoration has faded somewhat since protections were lifted in recent years. Opponents were given the chance to legally hunt wolves, while advocates learned state wildlife officials weren't bent on eliminating the animals.
"I've got a simple message: It's not that bad," said Yellowstone wolf biologist Doug Smith, who with Phillips brought the first wolves into the park in 1995.
"I got yelled at, at public meetings," he said. "I got phone calls: 'They are going to kill all the Elk and deer!' Where are we 25 years in? We still have Elk and deer."
On a cold October morning, after examining remains of the Bison eaten by the Junction Butte pack near a park road, Smith said asked a co-worker to have the carcass dragged deeper into brush so it wouldn't continue attracting wolves and other scavengers that could be hit by a vehicle.
Later, as sun struggled to break through cloud banks, he hiked a trail in the park's Lamar River valley to where the first wolves from Canada were released.
All around were young stands of aspen trees. The area had been overgrazed by Elk during the years when wolves and most grizzly bears and cougars were absent — evidence, Smith said, of the profound ecological impact from the predators' return.
Colorado hunting outfitter Dean Billington foresees economic disaster if the 2020 wolf initiative passes. He estimates his firm alone spends more than $250,000 a year for hunting leases on ranches.
"They're land wealthy and day-to-day poor," Billington said of ranch owners. "This income keeps the western ranching guys afloat."
The initiative calls for initially introducing 10 wolves annually by Dec. 31, 2023, with a goal of 250 wolves within a decade.
Rob Edward with the Rocky Mountain Wolf Action Fund, the group behind the initiative, sees reintroduction as a national rather than state issue since it involves public lands that account for 70% of western Colorado.
"Colorado's public lands are diminished without wolves," he said.
The Yellowstone experience is key to his group's arguments: Reintroduction restores balance to the ecosystem, improves wildlife habitat and will benefit hunters by thinning weaker prey.
Standing in the pen where Yellowstone's wolves got their start, Smith said that if the Colorado initiative passes, success ultimately rests more on human tolerance than the animals' proven biological resiliency.
"Don't recover wolves unless there's areas where you can leave them alone," he said.

I came across this post on Facebook today:
I wonder what the person posting this is offering as an alternative? In his post, he is not offering anything. So I must assume that he advocates abolishing the food stamp program altogether.
Does he know:
Close to one in six children (16.2 percent) lived in families that faced difficulties affording adequate food ("food insecure") in 2010. Close to 1 million children lived in families that had to substantially change their eating patterns or reduce food intake as a result of inability to afford an adequate diet. Food insecurity among families with children would be even higher without SNAP benefits.
I have written plenty about food stamps in posts in this blog. Just search for Food Stamps and see. Here is one with statistics on the food stamp budget and the Afghan war.
I have also analyzed the use of food stamps by state and have found the red states, where the politicians who condemn food stamps the most come from, are using food stamps almost at twice the rate as the blue states.
Let's for a minute ignore all the other myths being spread about food stamps and just focus on children. It's not the fault of the children that their parents are poor. I myself grew up in a poor family, and I remember how scary it was as I got older and I realized that my mother often didn't know where the next grocery purchase was coming from. So what are we suggesting we do with those children who are hungry?
Let them starve?
Don't tell me that comparing feeding animals in National Parks is in any way related to hungry children. Wild animals forage and sustain themselves, or they die. When humans can't forage and sustain themselves, before they die, they turn to crime. What other choices do they have?
We can turn off the spigot of food stamps and see what happens. It won't be pretty.
Or we can keep our senses, remember to compare the food stamp budget to other insanities we spend billions of dollars on every month and year, and make an effort to force Wal-Mart and other companies to pay their employees adequately so they don't have to rely on food stamps.
Then we can focus on education of our children, and raising an educated generation with skills that the economy of the 21st century badly needs and is willing to pay for top dollar.
But if we want our children to stay in school and pay attention, we must make sure that they are adequately nourished. And that is one of the reasons why we have a food stamp program.
If you have other, better suggestions, I am listening.

Friday Flip Offs Time
To whatever bug i happen to have right now - my stomach is aching and is tied up in knots. I have not appreciated having to run to the toilet umpteen bloody times today, on top of only having 2 hours sleep last night with a fussy baby-child. Also, the muscle pain in my back and legs is not doing me any favours. I have to take a 3 hour roadtrip out to my brother-in-laws tomorrow so if you could see fit to bugger right off overnight ( otherwise we'll need to stop at every dodgy rest stop in every small town on the way, which would make it more like a 4 hour road trip ... ) that would be great. Take your germy, bug-gy self and FLIP OFF!
To the blonde girl in front of me at Zumba - you're lucky i didnt grab you by your ponytail and kick you up the arse. You werent a "young " girl so you should have known better but pointing and laughing at the lady with Downs Syndrome at the front of the class is so not cool. So what if she isnt totally co-ordinated or in time with the instructor? She's there, she's having fun and she's giving the whole Zumba thing a go, so i say good on her and spit on you for being so juvenile as to make fun of her with your friend. Grow the fork up, wipe that stupid grin off your face, do the class with a semblance of maturity or FLIP OFF!
To the weather - seriously, you could fine up a bit? Three weeks of constant rain and/or cold weather is dragging me down. I cant take Flynn out for a walk, i have to run my heater all day which is costing me big monies in electricity bills and i just want to be able to get some sun on my skin. Next week is the official start of spring so take the cue and get your sunshine on. Rain, cold, wind - FLIP OFF!

Visiting from Friday Flip-Offs! First, sorry about your tummy bug, that stinks.ReplyDelete
Second, I would have yanked that girls pony tail too! What a witch!
Third, I feel you on the weather. I am way the other direction in Texas where God keeps the sun blazing most of the year. Great flips!
You totally should have pulled that chick's ponytail. Shame on her mother for not teaching her some kindness.ReplyDelete
Get better soon, girl!
omg, I want to hurt that lady at Zumba. You should have pulled her ponytail, thrown her on the floor and stepped on her. that just totally pisses me offReplyDelete
I hope you were super contagious at zumba but didn't know it and the blonde idiot bitch gets your bug tenfold and vomits in her hair.ReplyDelete
Hope you recover quickly - I had a yucky bug last week and was NOT impressed.
friday flip offs are fun - I'm so playing next week
Hope you are feeling better and I so know what you mean about the weather, until Sunday I thought I would lose my mind.ReplyDelete

We adore Papermints and Samantha's oh-so-sweet collection of handmade prints. Speaking of prints, Papermints recently launched a new handmade wall prints collection which has us positively weak in the knees. If you're attending a few weddings this summer (I received three invites in the past two weeks alone) have you thought about bridal shower or wedding gifts yet? Of course, registry gifts are great because the bride and groom hand-picked them, but this year, think outside the box. The blender you buy will be tucked away inside a cabinet somewhere, only to be used when needed. But, a custom-printed handmade print for the bride and groom's love nest? It will be proudly displayed in the newlyweds' love nest year-round, and doesn't need to be plugged in to appreciate. If you're already married, nab one for yourself – and, fellas, this makes a great anniversary gift… just sayin'!
My personal favorite is the 'I will never stop loving you' eye chart-esque print. So cute! Be sure to check out Papermints to view all wall prints from this collection. Which one do you love best?
We are proud to feature Papermints in The Marketplace! Check out the shop here.

BMW 550d F series Tuning triple turbo!!!
Yes! You did read that correctly. The brand new BMW 550d F10/11 is a triple turbo diesel torque producing beast to be reckoned with. With the badge of 550d you would expect a 5.0l engine under the hood. However, as with a number of manufacturers nowadays, the badge on the outside does not line up with the engine under the hood.
The 3.0d straight-six engine that has been a year after year one of the best diesel engines available on the market. However, the engine does have a little trick up its sleeve to give it the edge over other models in the range that the 550 badge implies. This is done through the brilliantly designed triple turbo setup. Effectively taking the already brilliant twin-turbo engine from the 535d and bolting another turbo onto it. Obviously, that does make it sound a lot easier than it would have been to develop.
The system works with a small turbo working almost instantly in order to reduce any initial lag as much as possible at very low rpm. This turbo is very quickly pushed aside by the large turbo in this setup that takes over between 1500rpm? 1800rpm and then pulls through to the top end of the power band. Traditionally this would have been enough for a diesel engine, but BMW wanted more, and this was achieved by putting the third turbo into the mix. This final turbo is designed to pre compress the air before the big turbo to help keep the big turbo running longer than the standard twin-turbo setup. For the added boost pressure the vehicle is running the fuel pressure had to be increased to make sure the fuel could get into the engine with all the extra boost pressure running through it.
The fuel rail pressure was increased from 1800bar up to a staggering 2200bar of pressure. Of course, all of this meant that a little strengthening had to take place within the engine itself in order to safely accommodate the new power, boost output and rail pressure requirements. All of this strengthening has left the engine with plenty more to give over its stock output. Taking the KTAG bench reading from the EDC17 ECU?s inside, we here at Viezu Technologies were able to extract an additional 130nm of torque and 45hp increase from the engine with our Viezu Remap.
Taking into account OEM torque requests, thresholds, injected fuel quantity requirements for varying desired torque level outputs, the Viezu ECU tune was able to deliver a smooth, refined and typically BMW drive from the vehicle, whilst delivering the fantastically strong performance increase and driveability refinements that the Viezu remap software always delivers. All of this is in line with standard operating parameters of the OEM ECU and data as not to push the vehicle beyond is safe capabilities. To find out how Viezu Technologies engine remapping could benefit your BMW F-series, or any series for that matter, contact firstname.lastname@example.com or call +44 (0) 1789 77 44 44

A Guide to Buying Healthy Bread
You can make bread at home with just four ingredients:
With the right equipment and experience, the result is exquisite. But only for a day or two, until the bread goes stale. By day four, it starts to grow mold.
That's why a majority of people purchase their bread at the supermarket. In order to stay soft and fresh for a week or more, packaged breads need the help of some additives. Some are OK, while others are not. We'll discuss them in a bit.
Besides the additives, the nutrition grade of a bread depends largely on the type of flour used. Three tips:
Make sure the first ingredient is whole grain (100% whole wheat).
The bread should be made with 100% whole grains.
The fiber count should be 2 or more grams per ounce sometimes that's 2 grams per one slice, but not always. Check the serving size.
Bread manufacturers often confuse shopper with tricky terms for the flour used:
Enriched flour - This is NOT whole wheat flour. This is refined flour that is enriched because it was stripped of its nutrients when the whole grain was processed into refined flour. Here's what is added (as mandated by the government) - Vitamin B1 (thiamin), Vitamin B2 (riboflavin), Vitamin B3 (niacin), folic acid, and iron.
Multi-grain - Does not mean whole grain. It simply means that several types of grains have been used. For example, wheat and rye instead of just wheat.
Organic - indicates how the wheat was grown, not if it was stripped of its nutrients. You can definitely have refined organic wheat.
Unbleached / Bleached - indicates if the flour has been subjected to a whitening process or not. Bleached flour goes through more processing and chemicals, so you should prefer non-bleached flour. Whole grain breads are not bleached.
Unbromated / unbrominated - In the past, many bakeries used potassium bromate as a dough conditioner to improve the rising of the dough and the texture of the bread. Unfortunately, it is a carcinogen. It is not often used these days, and if it is, should appear on the ingredient list, regardless of its use as an adjective describing the flour.
Now to the additives. Try to avoid bread that uses one of these:
Potassium bromate - used as a dough conditioner. (Reminder: dough conditioners (1) shorten dough rising times (2) increase shelf life, and (3) make the dough easier for their machinery to process). Potassium bromate is harmful in its raw form, but disappears during the baking process. Unless some of it doesn't. Europe, Canada, and many other countries have banned the use of this additive.
Azodicarbonamide - another dough conditioner. It also bleaches the flour (makes it whiter). It's considered safe in the US at up to 45 parts per million, but is banned from use in Europe because studies showed it could cause asthma or allergic reactions.
DATEM - an acronym for Diacetyl Tartaric Acid Esters of Monoglycerides. Another dough conditioner used to improve volume and uniformity. It is considered safe by the FDA, but a 2002 study on rats showed "heart muscle fibrosis and adrenal overgrowth".
Partially hydrogenated oils - yes, the evil trans-fats lurk in the bread aisle too. Make sure they don't make the jump to your shopping cart.
Mono and di-glycerides, ethoxylated mono and di-glycerides - derived from animal or plant sources, these additives have multiple roles - they are dough conditioners (improve texture, increase volume), emulsifiers, and release agents (make it easier to get the bread out of the baking pan).
Calcium propionate - a preservative that inhibits mold and bacterial growth. Considered safe, but in the early 1990's it was linked to attention deficit disorder in children.
High-fructose corn syrup - many breads employ a sweetener to improve taste as well as help the dough rise. (Yeast love sugar - they ferment it to create carbon dioxide which is what makes the bread rise). HFCS is the cheapest sugar, and that is why manufacturers use it.
Artificial colors - you'd be surprised, but some breads use artificial colors.
sugars / honey / etc...
For each of the terms below please indicate if it is whole grain or not:
organic unbleached unenriched wheat flour
ground wheat flour
100% stone ground wheat flour
organic heirloom wheat flour
unbromated hard red spring wheat flour
Answer: NONE of the above are whole grains flours.
Last tip for today
Here's another manufacturer trick to look out for. Even if the product package boasts 100% Whole Wheat, you may be getting nutritionally short-changed. You see, manufacturers can add bran and germ to an ingredient list that kicks off with enriched flour. As long as the proportion of endosperm, bran, and germ is equal to what one would find naturally in a whole grain, the package claim "100% Whole Wheat" is technically correct. That's like buying a car that has been taken apart into a thousand pieces and put back together instead of a new car directly from the dealership. Which would you prefer?
