Sabrina, 3, throws a knock-down-drag-out tantrum when told her iPad time is over. She was in the middle of her game and insists she get to finish it. Her mom, Marcella, agrees to let her have 5 more minutes—to keep Sabrina happy and desperate to avoid a tantrum. But when time is up—again—Sabrina demands: "One more minute, just one more minute!" Marcella gives in a few more times until she cracks, shouting: "It's never enough for you! If you don't give me that iPad right now you won't have it again for a month!" (A limit which Marcella admits she would never implement.)
Every week I am in the homes of families with young children who are struggling with these kinds of dilemmas: the 2-year-old who won't go to sleep until she has been read an ever-increasing number of books so that bedtime is now 2 hours long; or the 3-year-old "fascist dictator" who is holding the family captive with his endless demands for control—over EVERYTHING. These parents are exhausted, frustrated, angry and resentful; they are also sad and feel like failures, because by the end of the day they feel like all they have done is yelled and dealt with ugly power struggles, leaving little room for love or joy.
As I watch these scenarios unfold, it becomes clear that one major root of the problem is that parents are doing anything possible to avoid the tantrum and keep their children happy. The problem? This approach just leads to more tantrums, and to missed opportunities to help children learn to adapt to life's limits—to cope with the inevitable frustrations and disappointments we all confront as we make our way through this world. That's why limits are loving, and why avoiding them is not.
The following are some key principles that many families I work with find helpful for establishing clear and appropriate limits while remaining loving and present.
Change your mindset—see limits as loving. Parents who feel they are being "mean" when their child is upset that they won't read that 8th book at bedtime ("just one more and then I'll go to sleep!") or prepare a 3rd meal after their child has rejected the first two options (that she had requested), naturally have a hard time following through with a limit. Their child's protests trigger strong emotions that flood their brains, making it hard to think through what their child really needs in that moment. This results in the kids driving the car—calling the shots—which leaves parents feeling out-of-control, manipulated and angry. Many times parents don't even recognize this loss of control when it is happening. Unfortunately, and ironically, this usually results in parents actually getting mean—they lose it and start yelling, shaming and punishing, which leaves everyone feeling miserable and the child having learned little about better coping skills.
So, keep reminding yourself that limits are loving, because they lead to flexibility and the development of effective coping strategies—accepting a cheese stick instead of candy, or finding another toy to play with when the one they want is off-limits. This ability to adapt is what ultimately makes children happy and helps them be successful in the outside world, now and in the future Observe any child care center or preschool class and you will see how children learn to cope effectively with limits: not being the line leader or snack helper; having to lie down on a cot for an hour even if they aren't tired; needing to share their favorite toy…the list goes on.
Keep in mind that young children are not misbehaving on purpose; they may have learned unacceptable behaviors because they are effective in getting their way or yanking your chain and gaining control, but they aren't purposefully trying to drive you mad. With this perspective, you will be better able to implement limits calmly and with empathy for how hard it is for your child to learn to manage her strong desires and impulses. And when you are clear about expectations while remaining loving, and avoid a lot of anger and shaming, your child does not get consumed with upset about the "break" in the relationship with you in that moment. She is able to be calm and adapt more quickly.
Establish and enforce limits that you know are good for your child. Don't assess them based on your child's response. If you think setting limits on screen time or how many kisses you give at bedtime are good for your child (kids who get 2 or 3 are no less well-adjusted than kids who get 20)—go for it. But don't expect your child to be happy about it, or thank you for ensuring that they get ample time to play pretend or do a puzzle versus interacting with a beloved screen. Don't fall into the trap of believing that if your child is unhappy at times, that he is an unhappy child and you are not a good parent. Quite the opposite. So don't fear the tantrum. Just because a child doesn't like a limit, and is unhappy in the moment, doesn't mean it's not good for him. (I have yet to hear a 3-year-old say, "Thanks, Dad, for not letting me have those M&M's before dinner. I know how important it is to eat my growing foods.")
A limit is only as effective as your ability to implement it. This means it is not dependent on your child's compliance. Think about it: you can't actually make a child clean up her toys. You can demand repeatedly that she put her things away, but as long as you are in the position of trying to convince your child to do something, she is in the driver's seat—she is in control, and she knows it. Instead, you can clearly explain that she has two great choices: if she puts all the toys away, she can have them all to play with again tomorrow; if she chooses not to clean them all up, the ones that don't get put away will be put in a special box, or on a shelf high up, and she won't have those to play with for a day or two. This is a consequence you have control over and sets up a clear structure that helps your child make good decisions as she experiences the outcome of her choices. Another common example—telling a child to sit on the steps as a "time-out". This is rarely effective as the child can keep getting up and you have to keep coaxing them to sit back down. You can't make a child stay on the step and attempts to do so typically lead to an increase in both the child's and parent's distress, raising the volume and intensity, making it less likely the child will calm down and be able to learn any lesson from the experience. It is usually much more effective to establish a place in your home that is safe and has boundaries where your child goes to cool off (that is not punishment!) when his whole mind and body is out of control (For more on this topic, go to: http://www.pbs.org/parents/expert-tips-advice/2016/01/time-helpful-harmful-young-children/
Have a plan. Without a plan, reactivity rules. The child provokes a situation, such as procrastinating eating breakfast. She takes one bite every 5 minutes to delay the inevitable—brushing teeth, putting on shoes and a coat, and heading to child care. Dad starts to feel out of control—his daughter is calling the shots—and he feels his blood pressure rise. How can he make her get a move on? (Remember—any time you are trying to convince your child to do something, she is in control.) He tries coaxing and bribing her to eat faster (which naturally results in her slowing her pace—power is oh so pleasurable to the young child). Then the reactive, right brain completely takes over and Dad crosses to the even darker side: he yanks her out of her high chair (as she is screaming "you're hurting me" which amplifies his annoyance and adds some guilt), says all sorts of awful things to her, straps her angrily into her car seat, and everyone starts their day miserable. Sound familiar?
So, anticipate these kinds of events and have a plan that includes clear choices with consequences you can implement. It may go something like this: "Layla—we have 20 minutes for breakfast. We'll put our friend Time Timer* on to help you keep track. When Time Timer beeps, whatever you haven't eaten can go in your special take-away container to bring in the car in case you get hungry." Keep in mind that you are not responsible for your child's choices—you are in charge of offering clear and appropriate choices and implementing the consequence of your child's decisions.
The benefits of having a plan are that: 1) it enables you to remain loving, present and supportive, while also in the driver's seat—where you, not your child, belongs. I think of this as "responsive" versus "reactive" parenting; and, 2) your child learns to make good choices. This doesn't mean your child isn't going to have a total meltdown when you actually follow through—putting her food in the take-away bag when the timer goes off. But remember, that doesn't mean your approach was wrong. Just because your child doesn't like a limit, doesn't mean it's not good for her.
Make the choices very clear and concrete and present them with all the positivity you can muster. I'm a big fan of telling kids, in a very upbeat voice, that they have "two great choices, which is awesome!" (Children pick up on their parents' tone which can be contagious. Approaching these encounters with tension and threat in your voice: "If you don't clean up those toys, I'm throwing them in the garbage", puts them in a negative and oppositional frame of mind.) Be sure each choice you offer has a clear outcome. Layla quickly changed her approach to breakfast—eating most of her food while at the table—after just 2 days of her Dad's newly implemented plan. Understanding clearly what her choices were, she was able to make a better decision for herself (and her dad)! Here are some examples from families I have recently worked with:
If you throw the ball into the basket, you can keep playing with it. If you choose to throw it at people, the ball will go away.
You can cooperate with getting into pajamas and we'll have time for one extra book because we'll have more time; or, I'll get you into your PJs on my own and no time for an extra book.
You can stay in your room and get yourself to sleep; or, we will put the gate up to help you follow the rule to stay in your room at bedtime.
The next time you find yourself in that moment when you're about to give in on a rule you know to be a good one, remind yourself that we live in a world that doesn't adapt to us—we have to do the adapting. Giving your child the gift of loving limits will help her be more flexible and adaptable—key ingredients for success in all aspects of her life.
*The "Time Timer" is an awesome tool for self-regulation and helping kids know exactly how much time they have for pretty much anything: book-reading at bedtime, meals, playtime, cleaning up. Google it!

Signs of Mental Illness in Younger Children
When people think of mental health, they tend to think of people in their teens and up. It is easy to forget, but children have minds that work as much as ours do, just in a different way. But for many different reasons, mental health issues in children are a subject that is often overlooked. In many cases, children may not have the ability to communicate their issues. Other times, parents will attribute any unusual behaviour to kids just being kids.
Identifying a problem as soon as possible will always make it easier to deal with, and this is especially true for young children in their formative years. Below, we have listed some of the biggest warning signs to help you identify if your child may have a mental illness, and what these signs may mean.
Red Flags
Behavioural Changes - Behavioural changes refers to the overall trend of your child's behaviour over a period of time, not brief changes in how they act throughout the day. If your child's behavior changes, such as by becoming isolated, irritable, or depressed, for over two weeks, then it could be a sign of mental illness.
Mood Swings - Instead of exhibiting an overall change in their behaviour, your child may experience mood swings. These often manifest in the form of anger, and may include physically harming others, including with objects.
Weight Change - While it is not unusual for some young kids to look very skinny, it is unusual for a child's weight to change drastically in the course of a few months or less. Weight gain could signal that your child has started to overeat or spend more time sitting inside, while weight loss could result from a loss of appetite due to anxiety or depression.
Physical Pain - We've spoken before about the link between mental and physical pain, and some scientists believe this connection to be even stronger in children than adults. Physical problems that appear to have no identifiable root, such as headaches or stomach aches, may be rooted in mental health.
Difficulty Concentrating - It is normal for children to jump from one activity to another, but it is also expected that they will sometimes become engrossed in a single activity for hours on end. If your child rarely engages in an activity for more than a few minutes, it could be a sign that they have difficulty concentrating.
What Could it Mean?
In theory, a child could suffer from any of the same mental health issues that affect adults, but there are some that are much more common than most. Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are some of the most commonly diagnosed mental health issues in children. Fortunately, these conditions can be easily treated with a combination of medication and therapy, it is simply a matter of making the diagnosis.
Another common condition diagnosed in young children is autism, which Autism Ireland says now affects about 1% of the Irish population. Autism is a condition that varies widely from person to person, but in every case, the earlier it is identified the better, so watch out for the warning signs of autism.
Although we often think that children lead generally carefree lives, this is not always the case. Even children from perfectly happy homes can have problems in school or in the neighborhood that can cause problems like anxiety, depression, or bipolar disorder. Oftentimes, parents won't see these social problems because they are not around, so it is important to watch out for the warning signs when the child is at home.
These are just a few examples of some of the most common red flags and mental health issues that children may have, but as stated above, mental health issues in children can be as wide ranging as those in adults. But with children often unable to comprehend the situations they are in and the feelings that come with them, it is up to the adults to identify these warning signs and get them the help they need.

Whether it's due to aging, breastfeeding, genes or weight loss, sagging breasts can have a dramatic effect on how others view you and how you view yourself. A mastopexy, commonly called a breast lift, can quickly turn your sagging breast line into a younger-looking, perkier looking one. A breast lift procedure can be combined with breast implants to give an ever fuller look. Each of these procedures is part of The Plastic Surgery Center's mommy makeover program.
If you already have breast implants and want to revert to your natural look, you can have your breast implants removed and get a breast lift to complete your new body. Dr. Scott has the expertise to perform breast lift surgery that can not only meet your aesthetic enhancement goals but also provide you with natural-looking results.
View Our Before & After Gallery
Combining Breast Lift and Implants – Dr. Scott discusses the benefits of placing implants during breast lift surgery.*
When you come in for your breast reduction surgery you may think you're getting the same procedure as everyone else, but what most people don't know is that there are three kinds of mastopexy procedures:
- Circumareolar Mastopexy: This is the only kind of breast lift that requires a breast implant as well. During this procedure, we will lift and enhance your breasts around the implant.
- Vertical Mastopexy: The vertical mastopexy incisions are located around the areola and extend from the areola to the lower breast fold. This procedure may include implants as well.
- "Anchor" Incision Mastopexy: Uses the same incision as the vertical mastopexy, as well as an additional incision located along the lower breast fold.
Deciding which procedure is right for you depends on your body type and how your sagging breasts are affecting you. In all three procedures, excess skin is removed, the nipples are elevated and the remaining skin is tightened. During your initial consultation, our expert medical staff will go over all your breast lift surgery options and pick the right one for you. We will also discuss the addition of breast implants to your procedure.
In this video, Dr. Scott discusses candidacy, techniques, and incisions for breast lift surgery.*
Breast lift surgery is an outpatient procedure that is done under general anesthesia. This means that you don't have to spend the night in a hospital, but you will need someone to drive you to and from your appointment.
In the following weeks after your procedure, you will experience some tenderness, swelling, and pain in your breasts. These effects last only a couple weeks and can be mitigated with the use of OTC medication. Although surgical procedures typically result in scarring, Dr. Scott is highly adept at minimizing the visibility of any residual scarring. Scars from breast lifts usually fade significantly after several months. Patients can resume their normal activities after about a week, although it's recommended that they refrain from strenuous activities until their breasts fully heal.
Breast lift surgery is one of the most common plastic surgery procedures, with results that work. If you are considering a mastopexy to address your sagging breasts, contact The Plastic Surgery Center for a consultation today!

SHREVEPORT, La. - Austin College scored all four of its goals after halftime in a 4-0 victory over Centenary College on Tuesday night, bringing the team's overall record to 3-2-2 and conference mark to 2-2-1.
Neither team was able to find the net in the first half as the teams played through a downpour, with Owen Osagiede finally breaking through on assists from Phillip Le and Juan Ramirez in the 53rd minute of action. The rain continued and after a lightning delay, the 'Roos and Gents were forced to relocate the game to another field due to unplayable conditions, with the game picking up about an hour after Osagiede's game-winner.
Le scored on a feed from Ramirez in the 57th minute to make it 2-0 and added his second tally of the game seven minutes later on an assist from Ben Sloan, while Ramirez found the net himself in the 70th minute to make it a 4-0 final. Austin College held a 21-7 shot advantage in the match, with Joseph Khalaf making three saves for Austin College to earn the clean sheet.

When summer arrives, it brings much more than just warm temperatures to Canada. The season carries the promise of joyous activities that can be enjoyed from British Columbia to Newfoundland & Labrador. To celebrate the heights of warm weather in the nation, Connect Hearing -- the nation's leader in hearing health -- has provided its list of the Top 10 Sounds of Summer in Canada to Vacay.ca.
1. Music -- All Kinds of Music
Jazz fests, Blues fests, Pop fests, even theatrical buskerfests. They're all on display in cities and towns throughout Canada. Wherever you live, it's a given some great live entertainment is happening close to you in August and September. One not to be missed includes the Alberta Flood Aid benefit concert in Calgary (August 15).
Read about more August Festivals in Vacay.ca
2. Boat Sounds
Setting sail on a fishing boat, motorboat or commuter ferry is one of the ways Canadians get out to enjoy the water when the weather heats up. One location that's full of boats is Lake Okanagan, the British Columbia attraction that is home to Kelowna and other communities.
"The decibel level of motor boats can be dangerously loud. Active boaters and even those in the vicinity of marinas or piers need to realize that noise-induced hearing loss is one of the fastest-growing conditions in North America," says MJ DeSousa, Connect Hearing's Director of Professional Practice. "If you're heading out on the water this summer, wear earplugs, and if you're an active boater, you should get your hearing tested to ensure you stay connected to the sounds and people you love."
3. Screams of the Midway
From Vancouver to Toronto and Montreal, theme parks and annual fairs with roller-coasters are a top summer attraction for families. Bring your earplugs, though. Those screams and the loud ripple of the wind as you plummet can impact your hearing health.
4. Splash in the Pool
Waterparks, such as Ontario's Wild Water Kingdom and Calypso Park, are known as much for the hoots of their patrons as the splash they make when they drop into the pool. Public swimming pools and popular diving spots are also filled with thrill-seekers cannon-balling into the water. Water fun gives us some of the most timeless sounds of summer.
"When you're in the pool, it's safe to not go too fast, either when you go in or when you come up. Some hearing damage can be caused by rapid change in air pressure on the eardrum. While it's a condition most often faced by scuba divers, anyone playing in the water should be aware of the potential dangers," DeSousa says.
5. Crack of the Bat
The Toronto Blue Jays may be in last place, but they're still the only Major League Baseball team in Canada and that makes going out to the ball game an occasion. If you're in Toronto, catch a game and sounds of the excitement.
Find out tips on what to do before and after the Blue Jays' games
6. Ping of the Club
Golfers are eager to tee off on new courses and old. One of Canada's premier golfing destinations is Prince Edward Island. There are more than two dozen courses in and around Charlottetown, the province's capital city. Those courses are a key to PEI's tourism. One thing golfers will need to be aware of, though, is that the sport can be a risk to their hearing health.
"The new titanium drivers used by so many golfers can emit a sound that is like a sonic boom," DeSousa says. "Golfers need to realize that with all of the new high-tech equipments comes a need for added precautions, as well."
7. Crackle of the Campfire
Whether it's s'mores, plain marshmallows or shish kebabs, food cooked over the campfire and enjoyed in the outdoors is an iconic Canadian experience, one in which millions participate each year. The crackle of the embers is as much a part of the experience as the smoky aroma and taste.
8. Vroom
Like camping, road trips are also one of the most popular activities for citizens in every province. The rev of engines has been heard for decades as vehicles cruise along the Trans-Canada and other highways in the nation.
9. Hahaha
Comedy festivals and whimsical theatrical performances abound in Canada throughout summer. Among the great ones are the Fringe Festivals that occur in many different cities around the nation.
10. Aaaah
The sound of relaxation is one Canadians everywhere emit during the summer. It can be in the backyard while sitting in your favourite deck chair, or while soaking in a pool, or lounging on the grass at a neighbourhood park. There are many "Aaaaah" moments to be had during the rest of 2013. Be sure to get out and enjoy as many as you can.

What is the value of 8 to the sixth power?
When a number is raised to an exponent, that means that the number is being multiplied by itself that many times. In this case, the number 8 is being multiplied by itself 6 times. We can write this expression out like this: 8x8x8x8x8x8 Then we just go from left to right multiplying each number together until we get out a solution. 8x8=64 We can then rewrite the equation like this: 64x8x8x8x8 because we multiplied two of the 8's together. Then, we can either continue multiplying times 8 until we use all the numbers, like this: 64x8=512 512x8x8x8... Or we can rewrite each set of two 8s as 64, like this: 64x64x64 Because we know that two eights multiplied together equals a total of 64. Using the second equation, we just multiply all three numbers together to get the final answer. 64x64=4,096 4,096x64=262,144 So the total value of 8 to the sixth power is 262,144.
Subject: English
Find the direct object(s) in the following sentence: Dennis and Susan ate omelets for breakfast.
The subject of this sentence is "Dennis and Susan" because they are the ones doing the action. The action, or verb, in this sentence, is "ate". Next, we must ask ourselves, "who or what" is affected by the verb "ate" In this instance, the word "omelets" is the direct object, because that is who or what Dennis and Susan ate.
Subject: Algebra
Solve the equation for y: -16=(y/4)+2
In order to solve for y, you want to isolate the y variable on one side of the equal sign. To do this, you can subtract 2 from the right side: -16(-2)=(y/4)+2(-2) which would give you: -18=(y/4) Then, in order to get y completely isolated, you will multiply each side by the reciprocal of the fraction. Here, the fraction given is (y/4). Another way to read this is y x (1/4). In this case, we will multiply each side by (4/1) in order to isolate y: -18 x (4/1)=(y/4) x (4/1) -18 x 4= -72 and when you multiply something and divide something by the same number, that number cancels out so (y/4) x (4/1) = y Therefore: -72 = y In this case, the y value is equal to -72.

If I was a betting man, I would essentially have lost.
I still struggle to understand the logic or benefit of Britain leaving the European Union, but the referendum happened and that is what came out.
I also can't foresee what President Trump brings to a political table, but the US electorate in their wisdom, decided that Hilary was not for them.
We lost too many major celebrities and icons during 2016. Although this is sad of course, there is no "Curse of 2016".
It is not the year that killed these folks off. It is just that their time had come or their lifestyle choices did for them.
But on a personal level, I had a great year and have made some lovely friends and had some brilliant times.
There were wobbles – mainly related to my Mum's health and care.
But looking back, I would say that 2016 was actually the best year I have had for some time.
I won't be naming names or thanking individuals here, but those responsible know who you are, so thank you.

Every week, in our church, whoever preaches gets the privilege of writing up a follow up devotional thought. Here is my last sermon and some follow up thoughts. Enjoy :)
For as long as I can remember, everyone in ministry has been trying to communicate to this broken world that there is a God and that this God loves them very much. So much, that He gave His only son to pay for our sins so that we can be in a restored relationship. And in this restored relationship, we can now be fully embraced by God and live in the spotlight of his love and affection. We sing our anthem, "Reckless Love," and our congregations swoon and weep as we celebrate over and over how much God loves us.
It is nice that the warriors who have worked so hard at transforming God's image from a one of judgment and wrath to love have won! In fact, they have gained so much that nobody in the western world would even consider that there is a God who has anger or wrath. Ok, maybe some old skool boomers, and for sure some old skool boomer Catholics. But everyone else has a one-dimensional view of God, and that is that God is Love!
Instead of our culture reciprocating God's love and returning His affection, we have become spoiled brats.
We love that God loves us, and that means that he is never to stop pouring grace and blessing on us. But when that gravy train ceases either by God's providence or by our dumb choices, we freak out and throw in the towel.
It seems to me that receiving love doesn't cause our lives to change. And this is true in my own life as well. People loving me, doesn't really change me either. But what does cause life change is when we love somebody, we actually want to be more like them.
Think about somebody that you truly love. Because of your love FOR them, you long to find out what pleases them and blesses them and work towards that end. You don't sit around receiving love FROM them and then return the favor.
We / I need a fundamental change in focus:
If we really want to experience a life change, then I think we need to change the focus of our posture towards God. We all get that God loves us, but we struggle with understanding that we are to love God in return. Maybe that needs to be the focal point of our prayer life these days.
What matters is not that you believe that God loves you or not, what matters is whether or not you love God.
Life change happens when we love! Not when we are loved.
How have you changed your life for people that you love? How have you changed your life for God, because you love him? If you loved him more, what is a way that your life would change even more?
Jesus loves people, all people. Jesus is passionate about his care for the people on the margins, those who are getting steamrolled by people in power. Because of your love for Him, how can you partner more with Jesus to love those people on the margins? (The margins of society, your work, your family?)
The Christian life is not something we do alone. Just like we need other input to help us love our spouses or kids better, we do need people to walk with us to help us love Jesus better. Who in your world can you invite to walk with you in this?

I choose to live alone, in truth after 18 years of living with my parents at either ones location I started to really feel uncomfortable, I decided to leave and reside my personal life WOAH was that pleasant! A equivalent inequality was identified for females, with a difference of 40.8 percentage points in the proportion of remaining life spent in Good" health in between West Sussex and Tower Hamlets. She helped guide me towards a healthier life style by means of cognitive therapy and individualizing our sessions.
No matter how healthy one thing such as olive oil is said to be, 1 measly teaspoon includes four grams of fat, a tablespoon includes 14 grams of fat. Make positive your heart is healthier and your bones are powerful and Preserve it that way to see the advantages of a healthy life-style. Standard physical activity is crucial for the wholesome growth, improvement and effectively-being of young children and young folks.
That is till I had a life changing event and at some point learned that authenticity is the very best, is states who you are and you have accomplished and have grow to be comfortable with and derive enjoyment as who you are. Every single upper tier regional authority (UTLA) was ranked from highest (1) to lowest (150) primarily based on their healthy life expectancy (HLE) estimate. Since I learned my subsequent meal could be the 1 that ends my life (no drama, pure fact) I have chosen to address acute and chronic pancreatitis versus whatever could take place later due to an incredibly low fat diet program. No matter whether you're a loner or gay or Wiccan or atheist, this is your life and you must reside it the way you want to.
When comparing the 2012 to 2014 data with the newest non-overlapping time period 2009 to 2011, the healthy life expectancy (HLE) estimate at birth for males elevated by .two years from 63.2 years to 63.4 years. While for a girl, life expectancy (LE) was 83.2 years, of which they could expect to invest 64. years in Good" health. You must reside life for oneself ahead of anybody else, but we should all reside our lives for God.
This therapeutic program involves the Vedantic philosophy of understanding of the self as a cosmic unit of the universe and thereby empowering the self as a healthy getting devoid of illness, as sacred and pure as the Almighty himself. Several of the modern's life ailments and illnesses come from an unhealthy balance of sugar in your diet plan. Both health expectancies are summary measures of population health and critical indicators of the effectively-being of society, delivering context to the impacts of policy adjustments and interventions at both national and nearby levels. The trick is to use a combination of each true sugar, (or any other healthy higher calorie sweetener, such as honey, or maple syrup), and a low glycemic index sugar replacement. If there are any known interactions or troubles, you are probably to uncover them in numerous blogs or health-related internet sites.

The Best Online Workouts for 2017
by Tienlyn Jacobson | 1/18/2017
Welp. Here we are again. Back on the bandwagon for getting healthy and in our best shape ever for the new year... how's everyone doing on that, btw?
If you haven't exactly hit all your goals yet, I have news for you - sames... but that doesn't mean I'm not starting to kick it into gear. The key, at least for me, I've found is to be easy on yourself and find compromises. These first two weeks of the year have been pretty rough. We've had serious weather damage to some projects and some health scares, and running around like a mad woman hasn't helped me focus on anything I vowed to focus on which, which, when it's your resolutions, can be kind of disheartening.
Luckily, I don't really consider it a new year until Chinese New Year, which conveniently, usually gives me about a month leeway! Also, I don't take my resolutions too seriously and I'm never hard on myself about them. Which is kind of my approach to fitness too - I've been switching it up a lot - not just because it's a lot harder to do my regular workouts in JT, but also because it's more fun to switch things up!
I've done a post like this before, but because I keep discovering new at-home workouts, below are some of my favorite workouts that I'm currently doing, that you can do at home or anywhere (except for one, which I had to add just because it's so good).
ROCKSALT PILATES: So this isn't exactly an at-home workout. In fact, at all. But I loved it so much I wanted to mention it anyway! This was hands down the most fun and challenging pilates class I have ever taken. I missed my strength class due to a minor fender bender, but in my 'sweat' class, I did just that! It was a mix of high cardio and strength, and we used the reformers in completely new ways which made it not only super fun, but a fantastic workout. They have studios sprinkled throughout the Bay Area and I highly recommend them!
How do you keep fit at home? Have you tried any of these before? Would love to hear!

CHICAGO — Northwestern on Wednesday formally requested a review of the ruling that its scholarship football players are employees and able to form a union.
In the brief, which was submitted to the full five-member National Labor Relations Board in Washington, the university called last month's decision by one of the board's regional directors "unprecedented" and argued that the ruling ignored legal precedent and threatened the current structure of college sports.
"The regional director set out to alter the underlying premise upon which collegiate varsity sports is based," the brief stated.
The brief went on to criticize Peter Ohr, the regional director who made the ruling, for putting too much stock in the testimony of the former Northwestern quarterback Kain Colter. During the hearing in March, Colter said he devoted as many as 50 hours per week to football, which he said interfered with his dream of becoming a doctor.
"Whatever one thinks of athletics at other institutions, Northwestern presented overwhelming evidence establishing that its athletic program is fully integrated with its academic mission, and that it treats its athletes as students first," Northwestern's lawyers wrote.
The College Athletes Players Association, the group that submitted the petition to unionize on behalf of the players, must turn in its own brief by April 16. The board will then decide whether to review the case. Wilma Liebman, a former chairwoman of the N.L.R.B. appointed by President Obama, said she expected the case would be reviewed, given its high profile and novel nature.
Liebman said the best chance to overturn the ruling would come from the precedent of a 2004 N.L.R.B. decision that found Brown University graduate students were not employees. Northwestern's lawyers wrote that Ohr "not only ignored much of the record, he also misconstrued, disregarded and misapplied board precedent."
Still, a reversal could be difficult given the board's makeup of three Democrats and two Republicans.
"There is likely a board majority that is sympathetic to the argument that they are employees," Liebman said. "It could even use the occasion, if they felt that the Brown University decision was an obstacle, to overturn it."
In January, Northwestern players filed a petition with the regional N.L.R.B. in Chicago asking to be certified as employees, a first for college athletes. Ohr ruled in favor of the players and ordered a secret ballot election to take place April 25. Of Northwestern's approximately 70 scholarship football players, a majority will need to vote yes to certify the union.
On Tuesday, DeMaurice Smith, the executive director of the N.F.L. players union, published a piece on The Huffington Post supporting Colter and college football players' right to form a union.
Last week, Northwestern Coach Pat Fitzgerald held a meeting with his players and told them it was in their best interest to vote no. Several players have since said they plan to vote against the union, including the senior quarterback Trevor Siemian.
"I'm treated here far better than I deserve," Siemian said on a conference call Wednesday.
Colter, who has been preparing for the N.F.L. draft, and Ramogi Huma, the president of the players group, will visit Northwestern's campus to campaign for a yes vote in the coming weeks. The ballots will most likely be impounded if the full board agrees to review the case; they would not be counted until the board made its ruling, which could take months.
If the ruling is upheld, Northwestern could refuse to bargain with its players, which would send the case to federal appeals court. If Ohr's decision is overturned, Northwestern players will not have the right to unionize or bargain under federal labor laws.

Summer has taken its toll on our chemical storage room. Renovation in rooms throughout the school has unexplainably resulted in an influx of plastic bins filled with countless items including such things as goggles small enough for 1st graders, sand timers, craft paper, and boarders for bulletin boards. Bins and boxes clutter the floor and fill the countertops. It's overwhelming, as we need the space for lab preparations and possibly student lab work. Unfortunately, our days are booked beyond comprehension. Fortunately, there is a part-time lab assistant who does wonders for us. Thankfully, he begins to tackle the disorder.
We're standing amidst the chaos. He points to a box, "Shall I just chuck it?" clearly confident we'll respond affirmatively.
Our eyes scan the rolls of periodic tables, science posters, and maps. There are now six different science teachers and a health teacher that might find something useful in that box. We each use items periodically from the box.
My colleague quickly responds, "No, definitely not. It may look like it's not used but that's because we put it back once we're done using it".
He's somewhat exasperated but accepts the verdict, allowing his eyes to wander to other potentially "unuseful" items that can be tossed to clear away some space for lab work. My colleague and I meander back into my room to rummage around in the storage room.
After a few minutes he leans into my room and queries, "Do we really need two skeletons?"
My thoughts race: biology, integrated science, health, and elementary classes all use the skeletons. About once a year both are being utilized simultaneously. They're expensive. What if the school grows? What if we remove one and regret it? They don't take up that much room. Better safe then sorry.
Despite not having spoken a word between us, my colleague and I respond in unison, "Yes, we need them". Irrational? Perhaps.
He looks at us in disbelief and barely suppresses an eye-roll. We don't hear a word from him the rest of the day.
The room is becoming more orderly, even usable. After entering the room recently, this is what I saw:
It's a test, isn't it? If the apron and/or lab coat remain the entire year then he knows we don't really need two skeletons. Or maybe he was annoyed. Or maybe he's drying the apron and coat after a washing. Or maybe he's just being funny.
In any case, it made me laugh. I'm leaving it 'cause it makes me smile every time I walk through there.

Happy Monday.
I'm in my working room with Bethany and Juliann (my sweatshop laborers) preparing for the CD release party. We're making tulle balls and "tool" jokes are in abundance… but no ball jokes, which surprises me for some reason.
I'm really excited that we're having a CD release party. I spend so much time obsessing and perfecting my records and up until now my standard procedure was to dump them out into the world with little more than a few tweets and a casual status update on Facebook. I guess part of the reason for this is that it feels weird to throw a party for yourself…
But such is life I guess. Grab life by the horns or whatever... LETS PARTY!
I must confess that being an artist is often a long and lonely road. After moving to Los Angeles 10 years ago, our world was quite small. It's taken a long time to find and build a community with which to share life's victories and defeats and I can say with much gratitude that I feel very blessed to have peeps to celebrate this with!
I hope you'll join us there :)

text: Beaux Pregnancy Diary: 40 Weeks April 02, 2018 by Ashley Brenn in Style & Lifestyle, Pregnancy & Birth, London Hiya cuties!! Cest moi. How I have suddenly arrived at 40 weeks after 3000 years of pregnancy, I'll never know.Fun tip of the week for birth partners...don't try to tell your pregnant wife that she actually has not been pregnant 10 months, and that it's actually less, specifically 9.230 months; similar in the way to how one calculates rental amounts in London...that £500 per week is not actually £2000 per month. It costs in fact £2166.50 per month to live in a £500 per week flat in London. Plus utilities. You think it's fun to have someone tell you you have been in pain less than the amount of time they have been in pain?? It's not. Anyway. I'm ok now. Totally over it. lol lol lol lol. Moving right along, you know how sometimes you think you have it all together and then you sob during your perineum massage? Ya, I feel u gurrllll. (Spoiler alert: It will take me weeks to unpack this little roller coaster moment I think.)Anyway, this last last two weeks have been more of a mental marathon than the last 10 or 9.23 months, I've realised. I flip back and forth on a dime wondering out loud: "am I fit to be a mother" "am I sure I want/will be able to drag around a pram and a doggie all over London" "am I sure I want to have kids bc they will inevitably hate me for at least some duration of time in their life" "can I handle labour" "what will my life be like forever more" "will I be able to do this" "am I sure I want this" (cool timing to have these thoughts)vs."I can't wait to see who chose us to be their parents" " I can't wait to show this baby all the things I love..like flowers and blossom dearie music and puppies and nature and the ocean and ice cream" "I can't wait to start this next chapter" "I can't wait to see what my body can do in labour" "I'm so excited to explore different types and depths of love" "I can't wait to have our own family"...It literally took three days for me to mentally prepare to use clary sage oil. Bc I want omg I am so ready for the next chapter and to experience labour but...do I? (It hasn't worked btw haha still superrrr pregnant.) I have become accustomed to feeling actually awful the past ten/9.23 months and I'm terrified it will get worse in some new way when baby is here. That said, I'm trying to remember a lovely short story from a great book called mama, bare (noted in my beaux pregnancy book guide) where a new mother talks about how she prepared for all the awful and hard and lonely things to come during and post birth... but in retrospect she said she forget to prepare for all the lovely things too. Which is nice I thought.So with that, I now have the mentality going into labour similar to after a night out, where you just need to throw up to get through it. The worst is likely to come but then it will get better. Or different.I just gotta do it.And in that way, I am ready to be a mother. Haha. (Also it should be noted that we have finished the beaux baby nursery and suddenly I am able to move on from that stress onto other stress and fight surrendering/moving like water through this journey like a real normal person lol)xo Ashley Dress | ZaraSweater | BodenEarrings | MangoHat | Mango in case you missed it cuties May 22, 2019 The Beaux Tie Die Shop May 22, 2019 Read More → May 22, 2019 Dec 13, 2018 The Beaux Home Christmas List Dec 13, 2018 Read More → Dec 13, 2018 Apr 16, 2018 Beaux Pregnancy Diary: My 3rd Trimester Uniform Apr 16, 2018 Swear on my life, the outfit I wore pretty much everyday of my whole third trimester...but in a cool sexy way. xo Ashley Read More → Apr 16, 2018 Apr 14, 2018 Beaux Pregnancy Diary: 41 Weeks Apr 14, 2018 Almost clocking in at 42 weeks!

Kickstarter has been a wonderful source of games in my experience (so long as you go in with the proper expectations [read: "it's ok if I lose this money"]).
Masquerada, Mighty No. 9 (you know how that one ended), Hyper Light Drifter (my GOTY 2016), were some of the bigger names I've backed over the last few years, but in total I've backed 14 games to this point, and I don't plan on stopping.So, I took a look around and found a few gems that are up for funding right now that I think you should consider backing:Read More

When my daughter was a little girl, I gave her a stuffed Winnie the Pooh. That turned out to be her very favorite companion wherever she went. She dubbed him "Pooh Bear." The small, yellow soft friend was always tucked in the crook of her arm so it would be close to her heart. Sometimes when she was in a hurry, she would hang on to Winnie's little arm while he dangled by her side. We read all the Winnie the Pooh stories to her just before bedtime, and we felt as though Pooh's family was our family too.
I took my daughter everywhere - grocery store, furniture shopping, the mall, the playground, McDonalds, out with friends – we had a grand time. One day when my daughter was about 4 years old, I took her to Macy's while I shopped for carpeting. She had a ball crawling all over the wool rugs while I talked to the salesman. When it was time to go, I gathered up my daughter, her stroller, and my bags and headed for the parking lot. We got all settled in the car and were halfway home when a blood-curdling scream came from the back seat, "Poooohhh Bearrrr!" I thought the stuffed animal had come to life and was strangling her. I glanced in the rearview mirror and my daughter was sobbing. I didn't see the little yellow bear, so I figured she had left Pooh Bear at Macy's. I turned around to go back. Luckily Pooh Bear had not been abducted by another little person, because we found him tucked under the fold of a rug, safe and sound. Boy was my daughter happy. She hugged that little bear all the way home. It occurred to me then that I needed to buy a back-up Winnie the Pooh just in case we weren't so lucky the next time.
On Facebook today, a friend posted a link to 10 Winnie-the-Pooh quotes, as written by A.A. Milne. It made me appreciate my daughter's love for a little bear that gave her so much pleasure, and I realized that this little bear could make me feel better about life too. Here are some of my favorites quotes:
"It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words
but rather short, easy words like 'What about lunch?'"
"What day is it?"
It's today," squeaked Piglet.
My favorite day," said Pooh."
It's today," squeaked Piglet.
My favorite day," said Pooh."
"It's not much of a tail, but I'm sort of attached to it."
"Promise you won't forget me, ever. Not even when I'm a hundred."

Without a doubt, the Land Rover Defender is one of the most iconic British cars. Initially named 'Land Rover Series One', the car was first produced by the Rover Company in 1948 as a light utility vehicle that could be used by farmers. It was only intended as a stopgap so that Rover could build their profits and return to producing luxury cars, but the Land Rover sold so well that production at the Solihull factory has remained uninterrupted for 67 years – the longest that any vehicle has been continuously produced in the world. Their success has even led to the company being given a royal warrant, and several members of the royal family have been known to drive them.
The Land Rover gained the Defender title in 1990, when the company introduced a new model and needed to give the existing car a name to distinguish between the two. Defender seemed a fitting title, given the car's extensive use in the military and emergency services throughout the years. Sadly, due to stricter rules on emissions within the EU, the current Land Rover Defender can no longer meet the legal requirements that will take effect in 2020, and production of the iconic vehicles has ceased this week.
To mark the occasion, Jaguar Land Rover produced three limited edition models – the Autobiography, the Heritage and the Adventure. All models sold out within days of launch, and the Droitwich arm of Listers was fortunate enough to sell several examples of each model.
Much like the Land Rover Defender, Chateau Impney has a rich motoring history, so Listers brought all three models to the Chateau in recent weeks for a commemorative photo shoot ahead of their sale. It was great to provide an iconic Midlands backdrop to a fitting farewell for these iconic Midlands cars.
Find out more about the Land Rover Defender on the Listers website.

Throughout Belle Isle's three years of taking you Behind the Bar, we've showcased some of the best cocktail crafters, shot slingers, and bar personalities Virginia has to offer. Now that we're expanding our reach, we wanted to offer a glimpse into the bar scenes of our new markets. First up - Atlanta!
Tucked away in Decatur, Georgia, right outside the hustle and bustle of Atlanta, is Wahoo! Grill, a beautiful neighborhood bistro surrounded by its own private garden and outdoor dining space. But beyond the amazing ambience and tasty food, Wahoo! Grill also offers an exquisite cocktail program that has something for every kind of drinker. Last month, we sat down with Caitlin Patterson, a bartender over at Wahoo! to learn more about the magic she mixes up behind the bar and taste her new, extremely refreshing Belle Isle cocktail.
I'm Caitlin Patterson, a bartender at Wahoo! Grill.
How long have you been bartending? What first got you behind the bar?
2 ½ years. I have always glamorized bartenders, so when the bar management team at Wahoo! offered to train me for an open position, I was all for it. I thought even if it didn't work out, I would gain drink and wine knowledge. I had been serving at the restaurant for a year, so I had the basics steps of service and food knowledge down.
I love people, drinks, and doing multiple things at once! After a handful of terrible shifts, it all clicked. I took a mental step back, looked at the entire bar and restaurant, as well as everyone's needs as a whole. Then I wanted to educate myself on cocktail history, winemaking, and how to better my bar service. The two bar managers had totally different styles of bartending, which really made me realize my strengths and weaknesses and how to make the shift my own.
What's one pro-tip for someone starting out behind the bar?
Come in with a good attitude, and be mindful of your guests. Learn to read them. Realize not everyone is at the bar for the same purpose, and you need to provide for those needs. Be one step ahead, and set yourself up to succeed confidently. And bring the hustle!
What's your favorite drink made by someone else?
My bar manager, Reggie, made a drink called "Monkey Bite" after she was literally bitten by a monkey on a vacation. It was muddled sage, blueberries, lime, agave and juniper berry-infused mezcal! So delicious.
Favorite drink that you make?
Definitely a tie between a few. Most of my drinks are created from one thought - sometimes not even a drink ingredient, but a name or a theme. This past October I came up with a drink based on edible glitter. "Black Magic" became a Halloween cocktail with black vodka, raspberry liquor, sour, edible glitter and apple syrup. After shaking and straining the glitter whirled around in the glass and was so fun.
My second favorite would be "Ray Kinsella," a drink that made our winter drink list, made with gin, lemon, cardamom, rosemary-infused agave, and aquafaba. Aquafaba is the juice and water from a can of chickpeas. It has the same foam effect as egg whites, but is so much easier to work with.
Favorite thing to drink when no one's looking?
I love bringing layered Jell-O shots to parties, holidays, and friends' houses on that random Tuesday. I don't care how old you are - they are fun and festive!
If you had to pick one cocktail ingredient to use for the rest of your life, what would you choose?
Honey, as is and infused.
Tell us about Wahoo! Grill.
The guests that come to Wahoo! really make the bar. We have so many regulars that the bar team knows on such an elevated level. It's amazing. But Wahoo! is also a wedding venue and large party event space, so we are constantly having people from all over the country gather here for weddings, baby showers, birthday parties, and business meetings. I have gotten to meet so many different people from all walks of life.
Where do you like to stop in for a drink?
Poor Hendrix is a new neighborhood bar that is beautiful inside and out - and there are so many cute dogs on the patio all the time! My favorite drink they created is called "Cowboy Butts Drive Me Nuts" - it's hazelnut liqueur, Cynar, High West Double Rye, and a few secrets.
What's your take on today's cocktail culture? What about the Atlanta scene makes it special?
Some people do not think this is a respected professional occupation, which can be frustrating when you have a passion and drive for it. There are also so many types of bars, bartenders, and visions of the same drink, and none of them are right or wrong.
In 2012, I took a break from college and worked in four different National Parks in four years. I got to experience all corners and crevasses of the United States, as well as the bars. From saloon to tavern, pub or club, a sense of community and history is what ATL brings to the bar scene.
Give us your golden rule when it comes to bar etiquette.
Please, please, please have a good attitude! I know we have a hard job, but you are the one setting the mood for yourself, the shift, and the experience your guests have.
What's your favorite way to drink Belle Isle?
Honey Habanero Mule with lime! Any day, any season.
Tropic Thunder
1 ½ oz. Belle Isle Ruby Red Grapefruit
1 oz. pineapple juice
1 oz. coconut water
½ oz. almond orgeat
6 drops of vanilla extract
dash of allspice
Combine and shake all ingredients over shaved ice in stemless goblet.

Belle Isle Moonshine is a premium, handcrafted spirit proudly hailing from Richmond, Virginia.
We take the name Belle Isle from a small, 540-acre island located smack dab in the middle of the James River where Civil War soldiers used surplus corn rations to make moonshine in copper kettles.
Belle Isle Moonshine is distilled from 100% organic corn, grown by three family farms and responsibly sourced. Once triple-distilled, we charcoal filter Belle Isle four times over. Then, we cut it with purified water right from the James River. Our infusions are made with 100% real ingredients, never artificial flavors or color. We use real grapefruits sourced from Texas and California, local honey from the Shenandoah Valley, organic habaneros grown an hour away, and freshly roasted coffee beans from the most socially conscious roastery in Richmond, Blanchard's Coffee Roasting Co.
From there, each bottle of Belle Isle Moonshine is filled, corked, labeled, and packed by hand by our Production team, who check each bottle and batch for quality assurance. Since Belle Isle is made in small batches, you can find the batch number handwritten in the bottom right corner of each bottle.
Distilled from good times and 100% organic corn.

We have deliberately used the word 'partner' rather than provider, because we believe that is the best type of relationship for outsourced payroll to work.
Yes processes and systems are important, but let's not forget that at the heart of a good outsourcing experience is the trust and confidence you have with the people you are dealing with.
You want to be working with a payroll service company who is not purely interested in short term gains but who want to work with you, building your business for many years to come.
So what are the key criteria when choosing a payroll partner?
You need to make sure that your payroll partner will be able to work with you, your systems and deadlines without imposing their rigid processes on you.
At Dataplan we take this approach - companies of 50 employees plus will already have reasonably sophisticated systems for paying their people. If it isn't broken don't fix it.
If you don't have established systems then, of course, we can help you with your systems and processes.
Going the extra mile
So many businesses talk about 'quality' and 'service' but what does it actually mean. At Dataplan we have translated this into a number of tangible promises including –
- Regular update meetings
- Proactive communication and recommendations
- Consistency of a named team that will get to know your business
- Service that is backed by our awards from the IPP (Institute of Payroll Professionals)
- A Customer Charter
- Continued technological innovation designed to streamline and add value to your payroll
It is a sad fact that the payroll outsourced industry has in the past been driven by the cheapest 'per payslip' price. Whilst on the surface this may look like good news for you as the buyer, the reality is that all too often this is achieved by stripping out costs for things that actually have to be provided, such as starters and leavers. These 'additions' then get added on leaving you with unexpected, and unbudgeted for, costs.
We believe in transparent pricing. Once we define your requirements, we will provide a complete price that has no hidden extras or surprise charges.
Not all payroll service companies are made equal. Take care when you choose your payroll service provider.
See our checklist of questions to ask your payroll service company.

Incoming Hurricanes coach John Plumtree could be the man to replace All Blacks boss Steve Hansen after this year's Rugby World Cup in Japan, according to star player Beauden Barrett.
Taking over from Chris Boyd this season, Plumtree will find himself in his first role as a head coach of a New Zealand Super Rugby team when the tournament begins, with Barrett tipping him for an outside chance at greater honours.
"He's certainly got the potential," Barrett began.
"He's a great coach from the number of years I've had with him.
"I certainly wouldn't write him out."
No word has been given from New Zealand Rugby as to who will replace Hansen, with names such as assistant coach Ian Foster and Crusaders boss Scott Robertson among the favourites.

Seriously, someone needs to smack Kenny Rogers with a rolled up newspaper like a dog that piddled on the new sofa, and ask him, "What have you done, Kenny? Bad Kenny! Bad Kenny!" I know he's The Gambler and all, but why would he bet his face on a cosmetic surgeon in Guadelejara?

The Creation of Man and Woman: Interpretations of the Biblical Narratives in Jewish and Christian Traditions
The Creation of Man and Woman: Interpretations of the Biblical Narratives in Jewish and Christian Traditions
In June, 1999, the yearly conference of the research group "Jewish and Christian Traditions" of the Faculty of Theology and Religious Studies, University of Groningen, was devoted to the narratives of the creation of man and woman in the first chapters of Genesis and to the various ways in which these stories are interpreted in Judaism and Christianity. The proceedings of the conference are contained in the present book, which is the third volume of the series Themes
in Biblical Narrative.
The opening chapter deals with the Genesis accounts in their broader textual and ancient Near Eastern contexts. Due attention is given by E. Noort to the issues of gender and sexual duality. J.N. Bremmer discusses ancient Greek conceptions of the origin of human beings, notably the lesser-known stories about the first female(s).
The following seven chapters deal with diverse early-Jewish and early-Christian interpretations of the ancient creation stories. J.T.A.G.M. van Ruiten examines in detail the interpretations and re-writings of the Genesis texts in Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha, particularly in Tobit, Jubilees, 2 Enoch, and in the Sibylline Oracles. The interpretation given to the biblical texts by Philo of Alexandria—an interpretation which turned out to be very influential among Christian theologians of the first centuries—is the subject of an essay by A. van den Hoek. References to the great Jewish Hellenistic exegete and philosopher can be found in several other parts of this book as well. L.J. Lietaert Peerbolte analyses the manner in which the apostle Paul refers to the biblical creation stories in his discussion with Corinthian Christians. The Church Fathers were faced with the difficult task of reconciling their preference for celibacy with the positive view of marriage they found in the Genesis stories. Their various solutions are evaluated by H.S. Benjamins. Two chapters are dedicated to Jewish interpretations. L. Teugels discusses the hermeneutical problems the Rabbis encountered in their explanations of the creation narratives. In this connection, she also focuses on the figure of Lilith, the woman who, according to some later Jewish sources, was created before Eve. W.J. van Bekkum proceeds from the opposite perspective, drawing attention to Eve and the subsequent matriarchs as female . . .

(Recipe #24, page 123)
Chop leftover roast veal or other similar meat quite fine together with some fatty meat (ham can be used), add nutmeg, salt, a knob of butter, a few eggs, parsley (or some minced shallots or onions) and stir over heat to form a smooth, not too stiff, forcemeat.
Grate the crust off rolls or rusks, cut off a slice, and carefully hollow them out. Stuff them with the forcemeat, tie them together or pierce them with a small wooden skewer and cover with the cut-off slice. Place them in the oven in a pan in which milk and butter have been heated and baste frequently; when the liquid has been absorbed, continue to baste with butter and meat gravy until the pastries have slightly browned.
