Nutrition & Hydration Week 12th – 18th March 2018
Nutrition and Hydration week set out a challenge to us as care providers to ensure we're optimising opportunities to promote nutrition and hydration for all our residents.
The week consisted of:
- Big Breakfast Monday (the most important meal of the day)
- Snacky Tuesday (understanding the value of snacks between meals and at supper)
- Wednesday – Afternoon Tea
- Thirsty Thursday (try out some different cordials or spritzers)
- Fishy Friday
- Smoothie Saturday
- Sundae Sunday.
- We have used the feedback from the residents and incorporate this into our meal planning for our spring menus.
As part of the Nutrition & Hydration week we had smoothies, special tea with beautiful homemade cakes made by Annie in the kitchen and a juicing of raw fruit and vegetables by a visiting Juice Therapist. Most of the residents had an opportunity to try watercress and apple, carrot, ginger and apple and beetroot juices. The flavours were vibrant and almost everyone loved them all!

E-Communications to Make You
and Your Company Stand Out.
No question, electronic communications – email, the Internet, video – are of paramount importance in reaching consumers and even business audiences. Of course they should be in the marketing mix for just about any company.
And TGI can help you gather positive attention and attract new customers using the digital platforms available today.
Your website is, for all intents and purposes, your company. At the very least it's your front door that provides the all-important chance to make a good first impression. TGI can design a website for you that incorporates "best practices" for SEO, is easy to navigate and user friendly, properly highlights your key strengths, and most importantly, meets your budget!
Email marketing, the strategic use of e-blasts to existing customers and targeted prospects, is a cost effective tool to get your company noticed, generate traffic to your website, and bring about your desired "call to action." We can not only design your e-blast to reflect or rebrand your corporate personality, but deliver it to your audience as well.
Video content is a must for your Internet presence. It's a visual world and, as they say, a (moving) picture is worth a thousand words. We can produce videos for your company – from bio portraits that humanize your management and key employees, to educational content that casually brings customers to your website, to humorous vignettes that subtly market your key brand messages to your audience.
Contact TGI today to explore how electronic messaging can become a key component of your marketing success.

This comic is more or less completely about Dead Cells. Or the new Prey DLC. Or the new Tomb Raider game.
I think I've tested this same machine and it even works for older games, such as any of the Borderlands series…
Only six hours? Clearly I must be using a better working one. XD

It's been quite sometimes since my last entry. You see my girls are having their mid year exams now so there is no teaching going on. I really hope they will do well in their exams. The Form 4 have finished their Math paper but Form 5 still have Maths 1 on Thursday. My 5 KA girls didn't do so well in paper 2. I hope they can do better in Paper 1. Well at least the girls and I know the topic that they are weak in. Hopefully we can brushed up on these topics before the real SPM exam in November. I have high hopes on them coz I know they can do a lot better if they put more effort into it. The're so much that a teacher can do, the rest is up to the individual students. Success comes only to those who work hard, that's the law of nature.

This week we decided to eat fruit and drive to Michigan. They were both pretty easy decisions.
[210] Monday 31 May 2010: My first attempt at a roast chicken turned out quite well, I think.
[211] Tuesday 1 June 2010: Donnie's favourite meal!
[212] Wednesday 2 June 2010: I know, I know, more fruit. But these are the best peaches I've ever eaten and they come from a place not far from where I live! [213] Thursday 3 June 2010: We decided to stop for more peaches to bring to people in the North. Somehow we managed to resist the boiled p-nuts.[214] Friday 4 June 2010: Surprise! Here we are.[215] Saturday 5 June 2010: Family :)[216] Sunday 6 June 2010: Carrie made one of her delicious cakes and her baby was very happy. Why was the 1 year old the only one of us who ate it off of a plate?

Ohhhh, how I love…absolutely LOVE this new explosion of Black self-love!! Sistas becoming self-ordained Queens, Brothas learning to put down the guns and UTILIZE the wisdom in the pages they've read; and distinguish themselves as Kings among mere mortal men!
Woke, aware, self-aware, call it what you want; but it sure as hell is exponentially better than how we've been treating each other for the past few decades. Or at least the nearly four decades of life I'VE personally witnessed, anyway.
Don't hate it. If you see a Sista or a Brotha self-loving, and you think they're in it for the trend, use that to compliment them and further their knowledge; thereby fortifying their convictions! Don't downplay the half-woke, and DEFINITELY do not EVER go into battle with those still asleep. Not everyone is going to wake up out of the matrix!
Now, in all this quasi-euphoric, almost 60's like Black love-a-palooza, you have certain Blacks, as you will always, and non-Blacks who question this movement. This is to be expected. But, I am writing to tell all of the naysayers and detractors of my siblings' lovefest to back the hell off!!
I like to write poetry targeted towards the mental stimulation, gratification, and overall praise of my beautiful, melanated Sisters-In-Arms, and it's becoming quite annoying to have to answer the question of why I'm only doing it for the Sistas!
I've even had to field accusations of racism, and threats from various softer-than- baby powder internet thugs because of how much I truly adore the female sun-kissed, bronze skinned Goddesses of the Nile and beyond! Imagine me losing sleep over THAT….imagine it!
If my praising of women I share a struggle with brings you grief, don't question me. Question why you feel anger towards love, question yourself! How is it that you can feel such a strong emotion as anger at all, when the catalyst or proponent is pure, agape love? How is it that you can see love, and feel anger? How, indeed….
To the non-Blacks, hell, ANYBODY I've disturbed, perturbed, or otherwise made uncomfortable with my expressions of undying love and adoration for the mothers, sisters, friends, descendants of the raped, stolen, abused, used and so forth….kill yourself! I do what I want, lady!
I have no plans of stopping, slowing my pace, editing my words or scaling down the format of my choosing to appease you! Why at all this is an issue is not my problem, because I'm not the one with the issue. I shouldn't have to downplay what I'm doing by saying "but, I love ALL women equally"! I don't. I DO love and respect all women, and always have done all I can, including chasing down and apprehending a young man who punched a woman in the face and robbed her of her cell phone on a crowded bus in NYC (yeah, I ran a 4.4 40 yard dash in high school….little fucker wasn't getting away from ME!!), to protect women. No, she was NOT Black.
The entire point of this article is that I shouldn't have to say that to appease you. I reserve the right to speak however lovingly about the women I absolutely adore WITHOUT your interference or participation of ANY kind! I shouldn't have to defend my love!! But, I will…because I am a lover, and thereby a fighter by default. For who, with love in their hearts will not fight to protect that which they love. There is no separation. The phrase "I'm a lover, not a fighter" does not exist except in the case of a coward, who is thereby unworthy of the gift of love.
My love requires no explanation, nor will ever be on trial; so a defense attorney is unnecessary. Don't start none, won't be none! Peace….

Water Challenge: Day 1
Okay Ladies and Gents...
It's time to get serious. We're nearing the end of the year and we don't want to just waste this valuable time waiting for the 1st of January to come... So let's kick start our fitness, health and life goals now by flushing out some toxins. Drinking water is more than just being hydrated. It's good skin, it's energy, it's being healthy!
Let's start out today by just promising that we're going to get a liter of water in... Many of our favorite water brands offer 1 liter bottles and 1.5 liter bottles. So let's start with that!
Let me know how you feel after you've consumed your water for the day!

Josephine Turns 2 | Salem Oregon Child & Family Photographer
One of the most common worries I hear from parents when booking their family portraits is that their children don't like to pose (or sit still, or smile.. and the list goes on!). My answer is always the same: never fear. One of my favorite things about taking photos of littles is that they are unpredictable, and the best photos always come when I least expect it.
Jojo was no exception: After learning that she was not, in fact, at the Salem Carousel (what other place would you want to go when you are two?!), she was less than thrilled with my pointing a camera anywhere in her direction. Family portraits? No way! But what Jojo doesn't know is that I am pretty patient...and don't mind playing on the ground, following her around and playing peek-a-boo, or sneaking quick photos of her in-between games of airplane with her aunt! The end result? Some sweet shots of this beautiful girl and her amazing, rockstar of a mama (hi Molly!).
Taking family portraits for these two at Deepwood Estate in Salem was such a blast! Scroll down for some of my favorite shots from their session, and if you and your kiddos are up to play and take photos, message me to book your session today!

Askani Thulusdhoo is a small 3 Star guesthouse located in Thulusdhoo on the North Male Atoll in the Maldives, 25km from the Male International airport and 54.4km from Convention Center Bogota - Conferias and from the Nemesio Camacho El Campin Stadium.
The guesthouse has 4 rooms with a choice of either superior or deluxe rooms. All the rooms have an atmosphere that exudes harmony and peace.
Breakfast is included in the price of the room and there is a small on-site restaurant. Although the chef is competent, the menu is perhaps a little limited for some tastes. The guesthouse also has an outside BBQ facility.
Although the guesthouse is comfortable and relaxing enough on its own, with the island only being 5 miles long, an atmosphere of relaxation is found throughout it.
The guesthouse itself has a beautiful garden and also a kid's fishing facility and an outdoor terrace. It can arrange fishing trips during the day or at night. On the island it is possible to book island hopping adventure, dining on a sand bar and a host of other activities. There are also daily speed boats to the city which is just 18kms away. Swimming in the waters around any of the Maldivian islands is a true adventure with many different coloured, beautiful fish but Thulusdhoo has the advantage of being conveniently located not too far from the city, so a mixture of activities are available, plus of course, the island being so small, it is the perfect place to lie back and relax.

Blondies Recipes You Have To Try
The Blondie - today it's the brownies' poor cousin. But it wasn't always that way. Blondies and Brownies share a history that is intertwined in ways that most of us have forgotten.
The original Brownies recipes didn't have chocolate... they were called brownies, but by the standard of today they would be blondies. When chocolate became widely available, and people started to crave it, the recipes branched off in different directions.
So if you want Chocolate Brownie Recipes Look at our Brownie Recipes You Have To Try.
Here we do a version of a blondies recipe that features brown butter and hazelnuts.
Glen 'found' some Mackintosh's Toffee at the grocery store and thought it would be the perfect addition to a brown butter blondie brownie recipe... and he was right!
Blondies... The original 'Brownie' before chocolate muscled in and took over.
Brownies are still king… but this blondies recipe will give them a run for their money.
Sadly there is no chocolate…

SweSIF Seminar on Blockchain Opportunities for Green Investment
Öhman, project partner to the Green Assets Wallet innovation project, hosted a SweSIF seminar on blockchain on February 21st.

The eoMapper technology will be used in GAW project pilots to demonstrate these possibilities in practice.The presentations were followed by a panel discussion with Johan Henningson of SEK and Henrik Hjelte of ChromaWay around blockchain technology in challenging markets and for supporting the "second wave" of green bonds, i.e. impact reporting.

It's ARC Time: Book Architecture - How to Plot and Outline without Using a Formula
Some weeks are harder than others--full of bad news and unexpected expenses; you know, dropping your smart phone in a puddle during a rainstorm, learning that the vehicle you just paid off has a cracked radiator, power steering leak, and main oil leak. You work long hours and get nowhere.
But as we all know, life is full of ups and downs. The older I get, the easier it is to recognize that better times are just around the corner.
I have been struggling with several major writing projects and revisions. Thus, I was totally jazzed when an advanced reading copy of Book Architecture: How to Plot and Outline without Using a Formula, by Stuart Horwitz, arrived in my in box.
You've got mail!
Yes. Yes I do.
As you might remember from Blueprint Your Bestseller: Organize and Revise Any Manuscript with the Book Architecture Method, also by Stuart Horwitz, there are three foundational concepts used in book architecture: scene, series, and theme. I remember reading Blueprint and then watching World War Z. The plot points were perfect and I suddenly had a better understanding of why I loved the movie so much.
I knew about scenes, and thought I knew about theme. Horwitz explained both in a way that opened my eyes to new things. And I got to learn about the series concept, which was the first new thing in books about writing that I have seen for a while.
I haven't decided if Blueprint made writing easier, but I know it helped me grow and improve. I've never shied away from working hard, as long as I'm working smart. Blueprint definitely gave me a lot more bang for my buck, as in, the time I invest in every novel.
I can barely wait to read Book Architecture and apply it to my current project(s).

Romans 12:3
A good pastor friend of mine stood out. He said that he didn't believe a guy should plant a church until he was 35 years old. His main point centered around the missional concept that a church planter will attract people on a ten year age radius. This being the case, 35 is the ideal planting age for a pastor becuase he will attract young professionals and young families, and those two groups will attract others. Not only do I agree with this radius, but it was what I used as a reason for a 26 year old to plant a church in Las Vegas. This would allow us to hit a radius that we are barely hitting, a young/hip church that could reach an unreached group in Vegas: the young/hip 18-35 year old demographic.
While I do not think I should have been questioning whether the concept was right, I do think it would have behooved me to ask whether I had the capacity and character to swim against the grain and be the man that reaches that demographic. Or to say it differently, instead of questioning the validity of the concepty, I should have questioned whether it applied to me or not. The reason I couldn't do that:
I would even clarify that our hearts are broken for Las Vegas. Especially for the young adults. It kills me that most churches are geared towards young families almost exclusively. Not that these are bad, or that we even have enough churches geared that way (especially with only 5-8% of our city going to an evangelical church on Sundays). It just that there are hardly any venues for young adults in Las Vegas to hear about Jesus in a context that is relevant to them. This was my heart for wanting to be the 26 year-old pastor who planted a church to reach that demographic.
But the question arises when a young guy is unwilling to ask himself the hard questions about his ability or preparedness to accomplish the task: who's vision is he carrying out; his, or God's?
May we all, always be willing to ask this. That God may get his glory, and we might be empowered by the Holy Spirit to do the impossible: build His Kingdom.

One of the first steps in implementing any project – whether the structural system is cold-formed steel or other material - should be a conversation with the local building department. This is the best way to uncover the particulars that relate to your project and building code jurisdiction.
The plan check process is similar to what is encountered for other structural systems:
Field inspections by the building department are required at the same stages of completion to verify that materials are being installed as per plan. This handy Building Officials Guide to Field Inspections serves as a guide for what the building inspector will be looking for while on site.
Continued Growth of Steel Framing Volume in Third Quarter of 2019
Led by strong performance in the volume of Structural cold-formed steel framing products, total manufacturing volume of cold-formed steel framing stud and track increased in the third quarter of 2019 from 295,961 tons to 297,193 tons, according to the latest Quarterly Market Data Report released by the Steel Framing Industry Association (SFIA). Structural products, typically used for load bearing applications, such as exterior walls, lateral force resisting systems, floors and roofs, reported a 5.8 percent increase in manufacturing volume. Also during the third quarter 2019, the volume of Nonstructural framing products ticked down 0.4 percent to 136,396 tons.
The data in the SFIA Market Data Report is collected through an industry-wide survey. A complete publication containing data and analysis, including results of a survey of market sentiment, is available at this Link.
SFIA Contractors Achieve Certification Status
The SFIA Contractor Certification, introduced in March is off to a strong start with the first two companies awarded certification for both Nonstructural and Structural framing and 20 additional companies currently in the certification process. This new certification, which promotes best practices and continuous improvement, will be promoted to general contractors and owners looking for contractors with CFS expertise, high levels of training, and quality assurance.

Female Tattoo Pioneer Pam Nash Passed Away
One of England's first heavily tattooed ladies was laid to rest this morning.
Pam Nash, who rose to fame nearly 70 years ago because of her natural beauty and extensive tattoo collection, passed away last month and was buried just this morning. Though she was largely forgotten by the public in the new millennium, her legacy lives on through the wonderful and occasionally risqué photographs of her. Many members of the community in which she lives, tattoo enthusiasts, and her last few remaining relatives attended her funeral, which was a beautiful celebration of her life.
Pam Nash is one of the most photographed tattooed women of her time. This is due to the fact that the tattoos captured England's cultural imagination when it first rose to prominence during the middle of the 20th century and numerous news outlets started reporting on tattooed individuals. As seen in some of the images here, there are numerous pictures of Nash showing off her body art at the Bristol Tattoo Club, which was the only organization of its kind in Britain back then. Her voice has even been passed down through this documentation as well. "We've been at work on the design since Easter," said Nash upon being award a prize for her back-piece by the club. "I have a bit more added each week." All of her tattoos were done by the legendary Les Skuse, who is largely responsible for trailblazing the way for future tattooists in the country.
Upon Nash's death last month, the Cheltenham Borough Council struggled to contact any relatives to help make the necessary funeral arrangements. Though she rose to fame during the 1950s and 60s, by the end of her life, she had drifted almost entirely into obscurity, living a rather solitary life in Fiddler's Green. In an interview with Gloucestershire Live, Garreth Jones — the towns Senior Environmental Officer — said, "It seems a shame that someone who must have been a very well-known character in Cheltenham doesn't seem to have any family or friends who can come to her funeral." Fortunately, after several weeks of outreach, city officials managed to contact Nash's last living relatives, her estranged son, Beverly, and his family, who currently reside in the US.
Beverly and his family were able to attend his mother's funeral. He even wrote a touching letter to her, which he read during the ceremony. "I never had the opportunity to say: 'Hello, mum. I love you.' But now I have had that opportunity. Your life is like a fascinating novel. I was there for the first chapter, and I have now read the final paragraph," he said. "On Valentine's Day two years ago, I saw the picture of you in the mirror, and on your arm were two hearts. I knew then that you really did care for me." The way that Nash's tattoos communicate her love for her long-lost son from beyond the grave is profound as it is tearjerking. It shows how body art is more than merely bodily decoration; the art form can be a means of imparting heartfelt expression as well.
Nash legacy as one of England's first tattooed women will live on through the amazing photographs of her, and she is also survived by her son, daughter-in-law and her two grandchildren. May she rest in peace.

Introduced as part of the Russian Tankers Day celebrations, the Tier VIII medium tanks STG and STG Guard (with the custom camouflage) are definitely not your usual Soviet tanks. While a rear-mounted turret and a 122mm gun are nothing special at first, you should not underestimate how many possibilities you'll have with this combination.
The STG might look somewhat like an Object 416, but other than the looks they don't have much in common. For one, the rear-mounted turret of the STG is fully rotatable, and the turret armour is very strong frontally. Despite its flat silhouette, the gun depression value is more than acceptable, and helps you hide your hull behind terrain while dishing out the damage.
The mobility is okay, but you won't be the first to get into position most of the time, and you'll have a hard time circling someone else's vehicle if it's not a sluggish behemoth like a VK 100.01 (P). However, the base camouflage value of the STG is quite high, allowing you to change flanks or positions with only a low chance of getting spotted, as long as you don't shoot.
Now for the part that makes the STG such a joy to play: the unique 122mm gun. The superb accuracy allows you to hit enemies easily from any distance, but make sure to fully aim if you can. Keep in mind that with such a long reload time, every miss hurts, so you definitely want to make each shot count. The damage per minute is very low, so don't brawl with enemy tanks, unless you have enough cover to reload safely.
|GUN PERFORMANCE setup
Two setups are recommended for you: the first aims for maximum gun reliability, because as mentioned before, you want to make sure that each of your shells hits the enemy. However, if you're completely fine with the aim time as it is, you'll do good to mount Coated Optics to spot enemy vehicles earlier. In the end, the gun is accurate enough to reliably hit from any distance.
Crew Skills
A very standard set of crew skills. Repair is crucial for a medium tank, as you don't want to find yourself in a tricky situation with your tracks blown off, or else your turret might be next. If your crew already has three skills and perks, you might want to try the Camouflage as your fourth skill. As mentioned before, the base camouflage value is high, so increasing it even further allows you to sneak up to enemy tanks with ease!

Urban Produce To Hire Indoor Growers
By Mike Hornick October 03, 2016 | 1:44 pm EDT
Urban Produce, Irvine, Calif., plans to hire Controlled Environmental Agriculture indoor organic vertical growers to support its licensees as part of phase two of the company's expansion program.
Prospective growers will attend Urban Produce University in Irvine to prepare to work for prospective licensees in China, Canada, Mexico and Japan in 2017, according to a news release.
Urban Produce, which launched in January 2015, holds patents in seven countries including the U.S. and Canada.
"As we move into the next phase of our business we look forward to building vertical growing units all over the world," Ed Horton, President and CEO, said in the release.
With world population projected to increase 70% by 2050, Urban Produce's plans for expansion aim to help combat global hunger and eradicate food deserts.
"Our goal of sustainability incorporates our atmospheric water generation and the use of solar-generated power in order to build anywhere,"

By Lee Gordon, CNPS-San Diego Garden Committee
This report summarizes progress on a project begun in 2016 to find and implement inexpensive methods to expand populations of San Diego Willowy Mint, Monardella viminea. Willowy Mint is a federally listed endangered species, partly because its natural range and habitat are so limited, and because some of its known populations have been in decline.
The purpose of this project is to study and develop methods, encompassing low cost and minimal labor, to expand existing populations and to establish new populations of willowy mint. Our intent is to maximize the number of mature new plants that survive at least 3 years, while minimizing the expenditure of resources.
I began work in November 2016, planting 5 plants grown in pots. We watered the plants when we first put them into the ground, but they got no water after that. One of these plants still survives.
Al Field has since joined me, and in January 2018, we planted 25 small seedlings, all grown in one small, rectangular container. We backpacked water to three, which survived until 2019. We did this because 2018 was a dry year. One of these three was washed away by high flow in a February, 2019 storm. The remaining two appear to be established now and should survive and grow.
On the basis of what we have learned thus far, we will grow and plant as many small seedlings as we can each year, with the expectation that there will be reasonable survival only in good years.
Project sites
Figure 1 shows the locations of four sites, three in Spring Canyon and one in San Clemente Canyon, on San Diego City Property that is accessible through the Miramar Marine Corps Air Station.
The three Spring Canyon sites are on property owned by the Sycamore Landfill (Republic Services). Two of these sites (Spring South, Spring North D) have nearby mature Willowy Mints. Spring North A is about 500' from Spring North D.
The San Clemente Canyon site is about 200' upstream from a population of a dozen or so mature Willowy Mint plants.
Spring Canyon
In December, 2016, I planted five Willowy Mints at Spring South. These plants were grown in 4"x4"x9" pots, and their foliage was 4"-6" high. I watered them enough to get them to the rains, and they were on their own after that. One plant survived and is still alive after two summers (Figure 2). Three desiccated and did not recover. One plant placed in the creek bed was washed away in a torrential flow during heavy rains in winter 2017. The flow was unusually heavy, and it also washed away a mature plant that was a few feet from the seedling that disappeared.
In January 2018, Al and I planted 24 small seedlings and one in a pot. The small seedlings were all grown in one 5"x6"x4" plastic container. When planted, they were an inch or so tall and each had one or two pairs of true leaves. We planted them in 8 groups of 3 each, distributed among the Spring Canyon sites. The potted plant died quickly.
Because 2018 was a dry year, we backpacked water to the small seedlings during the dry season. We watered only the most vigorous plants, and the end result was that three survived to the rainy season at the end of 2018. All three were growing vigorously by February 2019, but one was then washed away during a heavy storm. The remaining two are still growing vigorously (Figures 3 and 4).
We planted no seedlings in Spring Canyon for the 2019 season because none of my Spring Canyon seedlings survived to be planted. Given the great rainy season, this was a missed opportunity.
San Clemente Canyon
In January 2019, we planted 25 small seedlings at San Clemente Creek. As before, each seedling had just a few true leaves. The seedlings were planted on the creek bed, at the side of the creek, and on the adjacent bench.
The creek was flooded by heavy rains starting in mid February (Figure 5). All of the seedlings were inundated, some for a few days, and others as long as a month. Figure 6 shows one seedling a month after planting. This seedling had been under water for about a week, and it had no signs of harm. Figure 7 shows two seedlings that survived inundation for three or four weeks.
As of May 17, twelve plants still survived, and most of those have grown several times larger than when they were planted. Figure 8 shows three of the largest, all of which were under water only a few days.
Causes of mortality
The largest cause of mortality was desiccation.
The second cause was inundation of the creek. The creek flooded over its banks during a mid-February storm, and water continued to flow for about a month. Seedlings were under water for durations ranging from around a week to a month. Survival was better for seedlings that were immersed less, but a few survived the long immersion. Some were killed by the immersion, and some were eroded away.
A deer browsed a mature plant and several small seedlings in Spring Canyon. One or two small seedlings succumbed, but others sprouted new leaves and survived. The mature plant has also recovered.
Propagation and planting
Willowy Mint flowers in May, and seeds can be collected in July or August. 2018 was so dry that the plants produced few seeds. We only plant willowy mints at each site grown from seeds collected near the site.
Seeds are relatively easy to germinate and to grow into young plants. However, my propagation results have been mixed, which has limited what we have been able to do. I intend to put more attention to improving propagation prior to next fall.
Our preferred method for planting now is to grow as many plants as possible in containers and to plant them soon after they grow their first true leaves. Our containers are for food storage, with drainage holes punched using a hot metal rod. Teasing seedlings apart for planting leaves most of the seedlings bare root, but that seems not to affect their growth. The time from seed to seedling is about two months, so the process begins in August or September.
This approach has some advantages. It is easy to carry a lot of seedlings in a backpack. Planting seedlings bare root means they immediately establish themselves in their native soil. Planting is quick. We make a small slice in the soil with a putty knife, drop the plants in, then gently push the soil back around the roots. These small holes are less disruptive to the soil than digging in pots. It is not clear to us that potted plants have a better rate of success than these small seedlings.
Looking forward
The plan for the future is to plant as many seedlings as we can as soon as the soil gets wet. It may help to plant seedlings multiple times during the rainy season. Seedlings several months old should have considerable advantages compared with seeds that germinate naturally in the rain.
Once planted, we will not irrigate them. I expect all seedlings to succumb in dry years, but enough to survive wet years to produce satisfactory results overall. Plants that survive one dry season without supplemental irrigation should generally be considered established.
Our big challenge now is to improve our propagation methods.
Appendix - Tests behind my house
Behind my house, there is a habitat that approximates a natural willowy mint habitat. It is a small stream fed by runoff from about 14 houses in the neighborhood above me at the top of a hill. The stream often runs when it rains. The soil is cobbles and sand, and it gets no supplemental irrigation. This site is about 3/4 mile west of the San Clemente Canyon site.
I began planting mints at this site four years ago, and eight plants have survived at least three years with no mortality (Figure 9). Every summer, the plants turn crispy brown, and fresh green then leaves appear with the rains.
An interesting observation is that the plants withstand abuse from running water. Figure 10 shows a plant that was flattened by the stream in 2017. Another plant was completely covered by sand. Within a few weeks, leaves began to appear, pushing up through the sand. Both of these plants are doing well now.
Another observation is that the mints are perfectly capable of procreating, but they are not very good at it in their natural habitat. I have never observed immature seedlings in either the mint's natural habitat or near the small stream behind my house. However, about 30' from this stream, I planted one plant in an organic clay topsoil that I irrigate monthly with 1" of water. The plant is partially shaded by a tree. This plant has at least six offspring.

Everyone seems to be professional with regards to the generic circumstance wherein the battery while in the person's vehicle has died, leaving them stranded inside a standard public parking lot or round the component while using the highway. In these situations, someone just contacts a pal, family members members member, or roadside support group for assistance. They could obviously clearly show up through the use of a different battery, get rid of the out-of-date 1, and hook everything again up with each other once again. Shifting and replacing a battery within of the car or truck is typical information for many grownups; even so, being conscious of how to proceed with many of the applied battery as soon as its eliminated won't be. You will find Car Battery Replacement Service In Singapore a number of constituents within a car's battery which enables it to cooperate and performance within of vehicles. These similar features are predominantly chemical-based, and can be enormously dangerous in a wide variety of features. Keep reading to discover tips about how to properly take away a utilized motor vehicle battery, and why secure and seem battery disposal is so crucial to us and our encompassing purely natural environment.
Exactly what is In a car or truck Battery?
These kinds of batteries consist of numerous unsafe substances, merchandise, and hefty metals. As an illustration, a normal 12 volt battery has components for instance immediate, plastic, sulfuric acid, and even much more. Diesel motor motorized vehicles, like semi-trucks and tractors, may well utilize a 24 volt treatment; necessitating the use of two twelve volt batteries to function. What this means is double the toxins, chemical compounds, and heavy metals. These twelve volt batteries are made with lead plates and immediate dioxide plates. These plates are submerged inside an electrolyte solution created up of sulfuric acid and h2o. The chemical reaction from the two elements can make electrons that enable them go through conductors, doing the job electrical electrical power in the direction of the vehicle's engine and inner elements.
Each time a battery commences to get rid of its electrical electric power, it truly is due to the fact the acid throughout the electrolyte solution has reacted with all the plates, changing them from lead and tutorial dioxide, to information sulfate. If your battery inside of a automobile is recharged, this identical solution is simply reversed. Each one of these chemical compounds which come up with a vehicle's battery features have verified handy throughout the automotive world, yet they nevertheless should be looked after duty to protect ourselves as well as ecosystem from hurt. Deemed one of quite possibly the most beneficial procedures to accomplish this can be by recycling applied batteries from autos. It can be the best and many accountable method to vehicle battery disposal.
Batteries Can be Recycled
Only one special factor of batteries may be the actuality they will be virtually absolutely recyclable. What this implies is the fact that nearly all of a battery's components is usually recycled and reused for brand name spanking new motorized vehicle batteries. For instance, the direct is almost one hundred for every cent recyclable; and will be melted down, filtered, and refurbished in new car features. The plastic components are also absolutely recyclable and could be reused in other methods. Astonishingly, the sulfuric acid may perhaps even be reused. It might be counteracted and purified to be released as uncontaminated ingesting drinking water, remodeled into sodium sulfate (for fertilizers, dyes, etcetera.), or reused in new car batteries.

Understanding Diabetes, Syndrome X and Ways to Control Blood Sugar
Overview of the problem of dysglycemia, problems associated with insulin resistance and the macronutrient balance
• Dysglycemia can be viewed as both a trigger and a mediator of chronic inflammation
• Dysglycemia is an imbalance that can be approached from a unified standpoint with interventions which will simultaneously reduce its potential as an inflammatory trigger and help return glycemic control as a mediating mechanism to the natural adaptive control of the body [1]
• There are 4 fundamental links between dysglycemia and the triggering of chronic inflammation; namely:
• -Syndrome X
• -Advanced Glycosylation End Products (AGEs)
• -the pentose phosphate pathway
• -Steroid metabolism
(1) Syndrome X
*Clinical Aspects of Syndrome X:
*Hypertriglyceridemia (greater than 150mg per decilitre); Dyslipemia (low HDL, elevated LDL)
*Marginally elevated 2 hour post-prandial glucose (top 5%); Elevated serum insulin on a 2 hour glucose tolerance test
*Reaven has estimated that about 1 out of every 4 non-obese individuals with normal glucose tolerance (measured by 2 hour oral glucose tolerance test) has functional insulin resistance in which hypersecretion of insulin is required to maintain normal blood sugar levels
*Adipose tissue is highly sensitive to insulin concentration and small increases in circulating insulin can greatly increase plasma free fatty acid (FFA) levels-> When elevated FFA levels reach the liver, increase oxidation is stimulated -> this event may in itself increase risk of inflammatory response in relationship to upregulated oxidative metabolism (which may not be met with adequate nutritional support)
(2)AGEs and Inflammation
• In tissues that can take up glucose without the mediation of insulin (e.g. nerves, eyes, kidneys), intracellular concentrations of glucose can become excessive under hyperinsulinernic conditions
• Excessive glucose concentrations within these tissues can promote formation of advanced glycosylation end products or AGEs
• AGEs have a strong propensity to form crosslinks and to generate reactive oxygen intermediates that can damage cell structure. The mechanism for this process has been shown to involve receptors for AGEs (RAGEs) which bind to AGEs, stimulate monocyte migration, activate monocytes and trigger release of pro-inflammatory cytokines
(3)Pentose Phosphate Dysregulation and Inflammation
• This is the third area of linking dysglycemia with inflammation; involves the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) otherwise known as the hexose monophosphate shunt (HMS)
• This pathway is critically linked to oxidative stress and inflammation since one of its key roles involves production of reducing equivalents in the form of NADPH
• NADPH reducing equivalents are required in the body for synthesis of fatty acids and for regeneration of the key antioxidant nutrient glutathione (GSH)
• When insulin levels in the body are normally high, increased uptake of glucose into the cells is expected and the rate limiting enzyme in the HMS, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is activated
• Activation of G6PD -> results in increased production of NADPH, increased regeneration of GSH and adequately supported fatty acid synthesis and oxidative metabolism
• Under conditions of insulin resistance and in people with hypertension, increased insulin levels may casue decreased HMS activity-> Decrease availability of NADPH, failing to recycle GSH, inadequately supporting fatty acid synthesis and increasing oxidative stress
(4) Dysglycemia, Steroid Metabolism and Inflammation
• Hyperinsulinemia is one of the key feedback mechanisms in the body for reducing synthesis of the steroid hormone dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) by the body's adrenal glands
• Under hyperinsulinemic conditions, instead of shuffling the steroid 17-hydroxypregnenolone (17-HP) into DHEA, the adrenals convert 17-HP into cortisol (stress hormone) whose activation is associated with both physical and psychological stress
• Combination of elevated cortisol and depressed DHEA also results in imbalanced activity within the liver's cytochrome P450 oxidase enzyme system with overstimulation of some components and overinhibition of others which finally results in increased oxidative stress and increased risk of inflammation from this oxidative trigger
The effects of carbohydrates, fats, proteins on dysglycemia indicating how one would educate a client /patient in relevant and practical techniques for promotion and maintenance of optimal health in this area
Carbohydrates [2; pages 11,19]
- Simple monosaccharides can have complex metabolic roles and even structurally, they can have far reaching health consequences e.g. the deposition of galactose in the neuronal myelin sheath and the glycosylation of proteins (now known as a co-translational event)
- A functional understanding of carbohydrates has to consider their biological effects as well as their physical properties; e.g. a fibre might be soluble or insoluble, might resist digestion and act as a prebiotic and might also affect blood sugar control
- Studies have shown that liver cells use fructose without mediating the effects of insulin hence fructose has been suggested as less problematic that glucose in dysglycemic individuals
- Consuming large amounts of fructose (greater than 50g) however has been reported to result in an increase in serum triglycerides in some non-insulin dependent diabetes especially those with hypertriglyceridemia. Also causes hyperuricemia in gout patients. Hence intake should be modest
- Resistant starch has very important clinical implications especially in management of blood sugar and diabetes. It also serves as fermentable substrate or food for bacteria in the lower intestinal tract
- Soluble fibres can delay gastric emptying and increase the satiety value of a meal
- Fibre intake has been shown to be cardioprotective, glucose regulating and cancer ptotective
- Carbohydrate metabolism plays an important role in treating both types of diabetes; much research focused on ways to identify high-risk foods for diabetics and using the glycemic index and glycemic load to ascertain the suitability of foods for diabeticsLowglycemic index foods are recommended for people at risk of diabetes and diabetics to allow a more stable blood glucose profile. The concept of glycemic load is more important in the sense that regardless of glycemic index, we need to take account the amount of food consumed respective to its GI value to conclude the final glycemic response obtained rather than rely on glycemic index alone
- . High GI foods and high GL diets produce increased serum glucose levels and increased insulin demand.
Fats [2; pages 69-93]
- The amount of fats consumed can cause high triglyceride levels which can cause increased levels of glucose in the blood as triglycerides increase blood sugar. Of course this is dependant on the types of fats consumed as different fats have different effects. Even though the diabetes association usually recommends one stays away or need to reduce the intake of saturated fats, not all saturated fats are the same especially since short-chain fatty acids (like butyric acid which is highly concentrated in butter) play a very critical role in supporting the health of the intestinal cell lining.
- DHEA has been shown to have anti-diabetogenic, anti-stress and weight-loss promoting effects. Levels of DHEA is decreased with emotional stress and increased in post-menopausal women with breast cancer
- Simply reducing dietary fat intake may not necessarily result in improved health status. Instead, we need to recognize the roles that fats have in structure and physiologic functioning before establishing the appropriate dietary and supplementary fatty acid intake for individuals
- In Syndrome X individuals, high fat diets with the right types of fats may better support eicosanoid synthesis, avoid insulin hypersecretion and recue dyslipidemia and insulin resistance
Proteins [2]
- Individuals may overproduce homocysteine due to metabolic imbalances in cobalamine or folate status or due to an inborn deficiency of sytathioninebetasynthase or methylenetetrahydrofolatereductase (MTHFR)
- Recent research links increased plasma homocysteine levels to an increased risk of heart disease
- Soy protein has been linked with hypocholesterolemic effects
- Soy protein contains adequate quantities of the essential amino acids histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, tryptophan, valine, phenylalanine and tyrosine
- Clinical trials concluded that the consumption of soy protein rather than animal protein significantly decreased serum concentrations of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triglycerides in hypercholesterolemic individuals
- The 2 best supported theories suggest that the type and/or amino acid composition of the soy protein and the isoflavones are key in lowering cholesterol
- Diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol that include 25 grams a day of soy protein may reduce the risk of heart disease
- High levels of triglycerides can elevate blood sugar and cause dyslipidemia
Factors affecting glycemic response [2; page 34-35]
- Carbohydrates higher in amylose have a lower GI as starch amylose is digested more slowly than amylopectin because amylose can form resistant starch and is therefore less digestible and healthier
- Add fibre (50% soluble, 50% insoluble) to diet improves glycemic control (e.g. barley and oatmeal due to high content of fibre beta-glucan in their respective grains)
- Phytate is foods reduce digestibility of foods and hence lowers the GI
- Carbohydrates are absorbed more slowly with increased meal frequency thus resulting in reduction of insulin response, postprandial blood glucose and serum cholesterol levels
- Eat fresh whole unprocessed foods as the ripeness of fruit for example (e.g. banana) can change its GI value
What minerals are considered essential in the treatment of sugar variations? [2;page 169 onwards]
- Chromium:
- Is a major component in glucose tolerance factor (GTF) along with niacin (Vitamin B3) and the amino acids glycine, glutamic acid and cysteine
- Chromium has a strong insulin-enhancing activity. It can help bind insulin to its receptors in the cellular membrane
- Chromium may have an effect on lipid metabolism as well and increase HDL levels (the good cholesterol)
- Improve immune response as it may decrease serum cortisol and increase immunoglobulins
- Selenium:
- can be toxic in amounts greater than 900mcg per day
- is considered an essential mineral
- Is beneficial in individuals whose histories indicate recurrent infections(as in the case if uncontrolled diabetes or dysglycemia), difficulties controlling inflammatory disorders, fatigue or other indicators of oxidative stress or family history of cancer
- Manganese:
- Helps with carbohydrate metabolism, bone development, prothrombin synthesis, protein digestion, collagen formation, fatty acid synthesis and protein synthesis
- Is a cofactor in a number of enzymes important in energy production and antioxidant defense (e.g. superoxide dismustase)
- Copper
- Copper deficiency may result in iron deficiency anaemia
- Copper deficiency may result in poor collagen integrity (as revealed by breaking of blood vessels) and bone and joint problems as well as lipid problems
- Low copper status is also associated with reduced skin pigmentation, central nervous system impairment and osteoporosis
- Insufficient copper limits its role in energy production and enzymatic reactions
- Zinc
- Is important in the functioning of many enzymes and assists with many hormone activities (thymic hormones, growth hormones and insulin) and thus essential in immune function
- A cofactor in a number of enzymatic reactions
- Important for protein and DNA synthesis, wound healing, bone structure, immune function and skin oil gland function. Also important for healthy prostate tissue
- Vitamin B3
- Structure
- Includes Nicotinic Acid and its nicotinamide derivatives
- Niacin is used to form the active coenzymes/cofactors NADH and NADPH which are important in many oxidation-reduction reactions in the body especially in those involved with energy
- Absorption
- Absorption occurs in stomach and intestines by both sodium-dependent facilitated diffusion (at lower concentrations) and passive diffusion
- The NADH and NADPH forms represent dietary Niacin which is hydrolysed for absorption
- Synthesis of Vitamin B3 occurs from tryptophan with Vitamin B6, Riboflavin and Iron as cofactors
- The conversion of extracellular nicotinamide into NADH seems to be under hepatic control and regulated hormonally
- The liver stores excess plasma nicotinamide as unbound NAD
- The nicotinamide that is formed from this NADH degradation can be converted into NADH in most tissues or by microflora in the intestine
- Functional Activity
- The body uses NADH as an electron acceptor or hydrogen donor in many redox reactions
- Also involved in dehydrogenase reactions e.g. conversion of alpha-ketoglutarate to succinate
- NADH is an important cofactor in nonredox reactions
- Glucose Tolerance Factor that plays an important role in insulin response requires Niacin (nicotinic acid)
- Sources [1]
- -Food: torula yeast, brewer's yeast, rice bran, wheat bran and peanuts
- -Sources of tryptophan: milk, soy, peanuts, eggs, pork, lamb and beef
- Therapeutic Considerations [1]
- -Deficiency causes pellagra (signs include dermatitis, dementia, diarrhoea and death)
- -Niacin is used in:
- *Rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis
- *Diabetes
- *Memory Impairment
- *Intermittent claucidation
- *Depression
- *Lowers LDL cholesterol, lipoprotein A, triglyceride and fibrinogen levels while raising HDL levels
- *therapeutic doses range from 50 to 200mg per day
- Safety and Toxicity [1]
- With as little as 25mg of Niacin, Uncomfortable flushing of the skin may occur but some can tolerate higher levels. Time released niacin has been used to avoid this flushing but this form has been associated with hepatic complications
- Oral administration of as much as 6g/day has been taken without side effects
- Use inositol hexaniacinate instead of niacin to eliminate some of the niacin-associated side effects
- Functional Medicine Considerations [1]
- If patient is using the drug isoniazid, it will compete with the Vitamin B6 needed for tryptophan metabolism to niacin
- If patient has been using high levels of niacin, toxicity may be detected by increased liver enzymes
- With signs of niacin insufficiency, assess if Vitamin B6, Riboflavin and Iron might be deficient too as these may be the underlying cause of niacin insufficiency
Other useful supplements: Vitamins B (for energy production), C, E, A, Cinnamon
How is glycemic balance measured? What problems are encountered in evaluating glycemic balance by the usual methods?
Some methods: Blood sugar, HbA1c levels, Urine, Ketones, Glycemic Index, Glycemic load
Glycemic Index
Carbohydrate metabolism plays an important role in treating both types of diabetes. Much research have been focussed on ways to identify the high-risk foods to avoid or limit in diabetics. This led to the development of the concept of 'glycemic index. The glycemic index (GI) is aimed to compare different foods based on their ability to induce a rise in blood glucose. It is measured as the value of the blood glucose response to food in comparison to a standard food (usually glucose or white bread). Thus the GI of foods help serve as a guideline to modify the foods we eat to better control blood sugar and insulin levels in both healthy and diabetic individuals.
Glycemic Load
Due to the varied amounts of carbohydrates present in a typical serving of food, a new measure known as the glycemic load (GL) was introduced. The dietary GL is defined as the product of a food's GI and its carbohydrate content [2]. GL takes into account that foods rated solely on the basis of their GI do not quantify common servings that are eaten [2]. For example, although carrots have a high GI of 92, a usual serving of carrots has a low total carbohydrate content of 6 to 8 grams and therefore should produce a low-glycemic response. Recent research strongly suggest than high GI foods and high GL diets cause increased serum glucose levels and increased insulin demand [2]. These have been shown to increase insulin resistance and the risk of type 2 diabetes in predisposed people.
A prerequisite for looking at glycemic control is the ability to monitor retrospectively long-term glycemic control, specifically, measuring the level of glycated proteins or hemoglobins (HbA1c). Other methods employed in measuring glycemic balance:
- Diabetes self-tests
- *utilises chemically treated plastic glucose testing strips where one compares the colour of the strip to a colour chart which lists various glucose levels
- *Also blood glucose monitors that measures glucose level
- Problems encountered: needs to have accurate calibrated machines
- Fasting blood glucose levels measured six to eight hours after eating;
- Problems: Results may vary based upon what they ate and other predisposing factors
- *Less than 109mg/dL: Normal
- *110-125mg/dL: Fasting blood glucose/borderline, prediabetes
- *126mg/dL and over: Diabetes
- -If tested at random, a number of 200mg/dL or higher is considered diabetes when coupled with other diabetes signs like excessive thirst, unplanned weight loss or fatigue
- Test that is used normally as a diabetic management tool rather than a screening test; more accurate
- Hemoglobin A1c lab test; based on the notion that sugar is sticky
- HbA1c levels:
- 6 = 135mg/dL
- 7 = 170mg/dL
- 8 = 205mg/dL
- 9 = 240mg/dL
- 10 = 275mg/dL
- 11 = 310mg/dL
- 12 = 345mg/dL

Set within a 200+ acre water park near the Hudson River, this house was designed to capture south and western views of various spring-fed interconnecting ponds and their surrounding mature gardens filled with native grasses, perennials, and specimen trees. The discreet entry is housed in a stone cube (quarried from the site), which leads to an open plan of living, dining, kitchen, sun room, and studio spaces. The Master Bedroom suite is housed in its own wing facing south and east toward a dramatic waterfall feeding the primary pond. Gertler and Wente Architects was responsible for the architecture as well as the garden design surrounding the house. The owner's extensive art collection was carefully designed into the residence as was the art and landscape lighting.
Materials include wide-plank rift-cut oak floors, plaster walls, and full-slab bathrooms. Heating and cooling mechanical are generated through a geo-thermal field and geo-thermal pumps.
