A certified personal trainer and CrossFit instructor who's passionate about helping others. Nathan is no stranger to experiencing fitness struggles of his own. After a long downward spiral into a world filled with junk food, low energy and little to no activity, Nathan's weight swelled to 225 lbs. As the final straw, Nate stepped on the scale at the doctor's office was told he was obese and his health was failing. Something had to change. He started by simply getting off the couch and walking each day (no exceptions). Pretty soon, one block became two and two became three until he was walking 2.5 miles every day. Walking soon turned into jogging and eventually morphed into running. Before long, Nathan had signed up for his first marathon. And after adding weights to the equation, he became the strongest and fittest he had ever been. It was at this moment that Nate discovered his life's passion - helping others to achieve their own fitness goals. According to Nathan, "I've met so many amazing people along the way that have inspired me to keep pushing through. Now it's my turn to give back." Are you ready to make a life transformation of your own? Looking for a trusted partner to guide you through the process? Contact Raw Power Austin today to learn more about our personal training programs or to setup a private consultation with Nathan.

Established in 2009, Raw Power is a husband and wife owned gym dedicated to helping Austinites in Lakeway, Bee Cave, Westlake, and Dripping Springs unlock their true strength and unlimited potential. After witnessing an explosion of exercise fads over the last few decades, founders Shannon and Seneca Sarnella knew there had to be a better way to train. A more natural, raw method of getting the results people demanded.
So they went "old school" in their training. Utilizing fundamental techniques to get clients in shape fast, achieve long-lasting results, and minimize the risk of injury along the way. They created exercise and diet programs that everyday people could fit into their busy schedules and personalized training where the client's goals were the main focus.
They built a community of like-minded individuals that share in one another's success and constantly evolve to be the best versions of themselves possible. A family that loves, supports and stands by each member. That's the Raw Power way.
The original power couple and founders of Raw Power Gym. Shannon and Seneca are both respected coaches and athletes and have over 20 years of combined experience in the fitness, strength and conditioning fields.

That's why they partner with only the finest trainers and coaches in the Austin area and take a holistic approach to serving their clients.

So you've collected a crowd of candidates from a series of avenues, you've reviewed and refined their resumes, and it's time to begin interviews. This is the climax of the entire hiring process—and one most of us botch. Many of us fumble when we get into that interview chair: What questions am I supposed to ask? How long is this interview supposed to last? Do I even know what I'm looking for?
Unfortunately, the answer to that final question is often "no." Before you sit down with your first candidate, really consider what and who you're looking for. Do you need a stronger staff for the floor, someone with experience in retail and customer service, or do you need someone with more extensive technical knowledge? What specific traits and skills are particularly applicable to your business and this position?
How will this person interact with your customers, and even their fellow employees? Take note of their personality traits: are they curious, outgoing, team players, good communicators? In retail, one of the most important aspects of the job is interacting with other folks—every new hire should be able to do so with expertise and naturalness.
Take into account the technical skills of the interviewee. Of course, some of these are obvious: if you're looking to hire a mechanic, for example, he needs to be able to repair bikes. But some of these skills are more nuanced. "Technical skills in the [specialty retail] industry might also be on the sales side," Dan notes. "There are sales technical skills that are good for retail: the ability to diagnose and solve problems, the ability to work under pressure, the ability to be influencing and negotiating, analysis and problem-solving skills with customers, the ability to manage time well and attention to detail." Be sure to ask questions that seek out these specific skills in potential candidates.
Is this the kind of employee who can make a promise and actually keep it? Are they reliable and dependable? And, perhaps most important of all, are they going to keep this job for a long time? It's important to asses their commitment to this position in the initial interview because if you don't, you will likely end up in your current position once again. And as we all know, no one likes to hunt for a new hire.

At Corinthia, we always strive to provide the best rates on our website. If you don't think we have, we'll pay for 100% of your room on the first night, and price match the rest. Should you find a lower price elsewhere, please submit a claim within 24 hours of your original booking and we will respond within two working days. Please note, this also applies to discounts and promotions available on Corinthia.com.
Process for making a claim:
Step 1. If within 24 hours of a confirmed reservation with Corinthia Hotels made on Corinthia.com, you find a lower rate for the same hotel, room type, inclusions, stay dates, discounts and payment conditions, please contact the relevant email address from the list below to make your claim. All claims must be made within 24 hours of the original booking and at least 24 hours prior to the standard check-in time of the hotel.
Step 2. Your claim should be supported by the URL where the lower rate was found and a screen shot which clearly displays the date of stay, room type, same hotel, inclusions and payment conditions of the lower rate offering on the competing website. Please include your contact information (name, email and phone number).
Step 3. If we are able to verify that the lower rate found qualifies for the Best Rate Guarantee, and all other terms and conditions are met, Corinthia Hotels will pay for 100% of the room charges of your first night, and will price match the room for the rest of your stay. You will be charged for all nights booked at the matched rate, minus the first night which will be free.
To make your claim, email the relevant hotel on one of the following:
First nightfree, match rate for rest of stay, no minimum nights
Terms and Conditions:
Corinthia Hotels guarantees the best online rate on corinthia.com based on the following terms and conditions:
1. Your original booking must have been made through corinthia.com.
2. The lower rate must be found and the claim submitted by email within 24 hours of the original booking and at least 24 hours prior to the standard check-in time at the hotel. If the original booking was made within 24 hours of arrival, the Best Rate Guarantee is not applicable.
3. The Best Rate Guarantee only applies to published rates available to the general public online, which can be found and booked immediately without any kind of restriction or payment restrictions.
4. The lower rate found must be for exactly the same booking criteria - the same hotel, the same room type, same inclusions, the same stay dates, same number of guests, the same rate description and, if applicable, the same promotion. The cancellation and advance purchase policy and all other terms and conditions of the stay must also be identical. If the claim refers to a reservation consisting of several nights' accommodation, the average rate for each night will be compared to the average rate for each night, for an identical reservation, using the website where the lower rate is found.
5. Corinthia Hotels will verify the lower rate claim and respond within two working days of the claim being made. *Claims will be processed from Monday to Friday, between 9am to 5pm, at the hotel's local time.
6. The rate comparison will be made net of any taxes, gratuities or any other fees or charges associated with the room rate, and the lower rate must still be available at the time the hotel validates the claim.
7. The Best Rate Guarantee is void where prohibited by law. Corinthia Hotels reserves the right to modify or cancel its Best Rate Guarantee policy at any time in its sole discretion and without prior notice.
8. Corinthia Hotels has the sole right and discretion to determine the validity of any claim, including without limitation, determining that the lower rate found is genuinely available and that the claim meets all terms and conditions. In case of dispute, Corinthia Hotels' decision is final.
9. In the case of a fully prepaid rate booked through corinthia.com, Corinthia Hotels will refund the difference to your credit card, if applicable, within 30 business days of submitting your claim. Corinthia Hotels is not responsible for any fees associated with cancelling a reservation made through a different channel.
10. Best Rate Guarantee will be suspended during times where corinthia.com or certain rates are not available due to an outage, a technical issue or a circumstance beyond Corinthia Hotels' reasonable control.
11. The Best Rate Guarantee does not apply to rates found offline, negotiated corporate rates, group or MICE rates, opaque provider rates or rates requiring membership in a club or other organization, governmental rates, direct mail or email solicitations, rates offered by providers that do not supply the name or location of the hotel until after a reservation has been made or other rates that are not available to the general public. We reserve the right to deny a claim if the availability of the Competing Rate cannot be independently verified at the time of processing the claim.
12. The Best Rate Guarantee does not apply to packaged rates. Packaged rates include Hotel accommodations sold as part of a travel package in which the Hotel does not provide all services (including but not limited to airfare and/or car rental, tours etc.) and Hotel accommodations sold with additional amenities.
13. Corinthia Hotels may deny a claim where the difference between the rates is less than 1%.
14. If the Competing Rate is in a different currency from the rate booked on corinthia.com, the Competing Rate will be converted into the same currency as the rate offered on our website using the exchange rate as published in www.xe.com in place at the time the initial reservation was made. Discrepancies may occur between Corinthia Hotels' rate and the Competing Rate due to differences in exchange rate sources. If the rate discrepancy is solely due to exchange rate fluctuations, we reserve the right to deny the claim.
Spring and summer is festival season: these are the best Prague festivals to attend
Thanks to its Christmas markets and cosy cellar bars, Prague has cemented its status as a favourite cold weather clime. But if you're already planning your return trip, note that the start of spring is also an ideal time to visit the Czech capital. Suddenly, public parks are abuzz with picnicking locals, trees break into blossom and the city's calendar fills with festivals. Whether you're seeking contemporary dance at Tanec Praha or classical music at the Prague Proms, high gastronomy at the Prague Food Festival or frothy pilsner by the litre at the Czech Beer Festival, these 10 Prague festivals cater to all tastes.
Not quite ready to huff and puff your way through the city's cobbled streets? Even if you aren't sporting on your finest running shorts, it's well worth attending the Prague Marathon as a spectator. The event draws crowds of thousands and hosts a perfectly festive atmosphere, thanks in part to the companion Marathon Music Festival with live performances and the concluding pasta party with, yes, heaps of pasta.
4th May 2019
If you know your Berg from your Brahms, doubtless the Prague Spring International Music Festival is already on your must-do list. Celebrating its 70th anniversary this year, the festival is a favourite of connoisseurs worldwide, and invites top performers, conductors, and orchestras from around the globe to participate. Several competitions also factor into the calendar, for those who like their classical compositions with a bit of competitive vigour.
12th May – 4th June 2019
Step aside, Edinburgh: there's more than one experimental theatre festival around this season. The Prague Fringe Festival is slated to bring together dozens of performers and companies from the Czech Republic and beyond, with performances ranging from musical theatre and monologues to dance, comedy, and more, held in select theatres around town.
24th May – 1st June 2019
One of the most popular Prague festivals since its inauguration in 1989, Tanec Praha (or the International Festival of Contemporary Dance and Movement Theatre) is a celebration of all things kinetic. This year, the festival will open with a piece choreographed by Sasha Waltz said to have been inspired by the structure of classical music compositions – and the genre-blending will only continue from there.
3rd – 5th June 2019
One of several musically oriented Prague festivals, Prague Summer Nights specifically celebrates the talents of young musicians and performers. Opera lovers especially won't want to give this one a miss: a highlight of the calendar will be Mozart's Don Giovanni, performed in the Estates Theatre – the very same venue where Mozart originally premiered the opera in 1787.
17th June – 15th July 2019
If you're in the business of hosting open-air concerts, it's hard to do better than the splendid setting of Wenceslas Square. That's just how the Prague Proms, returning for its 11th edition, will kick off this year's schedule. For more than a month this season, the festival will host musical events across the city, ranging from saxophonist Branford Marsalis to performances of repertory favourites like Carmina Burana.
18th May – 13th July 2019
Not all music-related Prague festivals skew towards jazz or classical, however. United Islands of Prague has, in the past, featured acts ranging from Israeli indie rock bands to Mexico-based electronic DJs. This year will mark the 12th annual return of the open-air, genre-crossing festival, traditionally held in several outdoor locations across the city centre.
31st May – 2nd June 2019
Highlighting the traditions of different Czech regions and eras, Prague Folklore Days is like stepping into a temporary time capsule. For four days this July, the festival will see many dozens of participants take to the streets of Prague, accompanied by music and performing historic dances. Take in the sights and you'll soon start wishing for an embroidered outfit of your own.
18th – 21st July 2019

Every hear people complain about range lawyers?
Ever heard people spout off about the rules at a match about the rules and be blatantly wrong?
What about the folks who are intentionally trying to bend the rules to their benefit?
What about folks who are just trying to make sure we play the game by the rules?
Last week I had to take my USPSA Range Officer exam, and in doing so, I noticed I was pretty rusty on the rulebook, so I sat down and read it cover to cover one more time, and… I learned a LOT.
So, I'm the guy that brings his rulebook. I intend to use it should their be a question about the rules at a match. I even keep a .pdf of the applicable rulebooks on my phone so I can text search them quicker than looking through the paper copies at a match.
Does that make me a "range lawyer?" I don't think so. I want to win, but I don't want to win by bending the rules. I want to win on a fair playing field against everyone else, and my conscience wouldn't allow me to win by bending the rules.
So, the next time someone whips out the rulebook, don't worry about it. Don't take it personally, because rules change from time to time, and it can be confusing to keep up. Embrace the rulebook.
At the match on Saturday, I took a frag off a piece of steel to the calf while running a shooter, and it hurt like crazy. After I called the range clear, I found a chunk of lead a little smaller than a pencil eraser under the skin of my leg.
After the match I was thinking… "what would have happened had that hit me in the eye?"
See, even after writing this post, I still found myself on the range with regular sunglasses. Derp.
So, go get some decent safety glasses for shooting. If you're not the type to go buy expensive whiz-bang shooting glasses, you can get tinted rated safety glasses for just a couple dollars. Head over to triangletactical.net/227 to see the ones I use most.
I've got a couple awesome Q&A's this week from Rick and Danny.
Rick asked about other podcast episodes to listen to for getting started:
Danny in Dayton sends in a voicemail asking about dryfire and slide-lock reloads. He's pausing after seating the magazine, and dropping the slide. I had a similar, and opposite problem where I was dropping the slide too soon, and not stripping a round into the chamber.

1 Introduction
 Currently, lithium ion batteries are favored by researchers as a promising power source for electric vehicles (EVs). However, some hazards of the lithium ion battery have been reported [1] . The safety problems will undermine the confidence of the consumers and obstruct the commercialization of the EVs. Thus the safety issue of the lithium ion battery merits further study.
The thermal runaway behaviors of lithium ion battery have been reviewed several times [2–5] . Generally, when the temperature reaches approximately 90 °C, the self heating of the cell begins due to the start of the solid electrolyte interface (SEI) decomposition. Then follows the negative active material and electrolyte reaction, positive active material and electrolyte reaction, electrolyte decomposition, negative active material and binder reaction, etc. [1–6] .
Accelerating rate calorimetry (ARC) is designed to study the exothermic chemical reactions by simulating an adiabatic condition [7] . Employing the ARC, some of the critical kinetic parameters, i.e. the onset temperature of the reaction and the enthalpy of the exothermic process, can be acquired. Not only has ARC been used to analyze the thermal behaviors of the components of the lithium ion battery [8–12] , but also to evaluate the thermal

Before I continue, I just want to point out that although "post-hardcore" would be an adequate label for TAAS's genre overriding sound, the term rings false to me. A descriptor that exists only in the minds of journalists- as no band, that I know of at least, has ever affixed "post" to the description of how they sound. And besides, if I were going to fabricate a label I'd be more descriptive: say, mathematical sludge-core.
Experimental but not in a pretentious just-for-the-sake-of way; TAAS combines razor-sharp, polyrhythmic drumming; bruising, industrial strength guitars with plenty of distortion and a dash of electronics for added weirdness and atmosphere; to form a juggernaut of tightly interlocking parts- a dystopic sonic frame for manic vocalist Steve Snere. The comparisons to Ian Mckaye I keep hearing don't tell the whole story. Snere's singing does sound a bit like Mckaye but his screaming is nothing like Minor Threat. In the tradition of great Seattle vocalists past, he possesses the innate talent of making his scream somewhat musical rather than just abrasive. Snere's attitude, which is considerable to begin with, is enhanced exponentially via his deft use of Korg's Kaos Pad. He uses this contraption to distend and contort his vox into a formidable weapon.
Despite the cryptic the title, Tail Swallower and Dove doesn't waste any time beating around the bush. Opener Woolen Heirs forgoes any formalities, promptly delivering a five-fingered message to the face. The chunky layered guitars and chugging rhythm have a proggy almost Tool-esque sound. Red Line Season, apparently the first "single", is a galloping four-to-the-floor kamikaze freak out with Snere as the maniacal pilot. His demented growl rises to a shriek at the conclusion; one of the heaviest moments on the whole album. At barely two and a half minutes long Lucifer was efficiently designed to inflict maximum impact. Beginning with an angular distorted synth riff the track has an absolutely crazy breakdown of spastic drums and Snere's Kaos Pad-warped howl.
Overall, this album is a dexterous mix of muscular aggression and moody tension. Alternately bludgeoning (Seven Curtains, Prince Squid) and uh "slithering" insidiously (Long & Lonely Step, Briggs)- sometimes in the course of one song (Ethric Double). Highly recommended for anyone seeking an adrenalin infusion.

The Unicorn-Lover's Guide To Instagram Inspiration Sources
Long ago, Mariana rounded up some of the best Instagrammers to follow for non-stop beauty inspiration. And today I am going to do the same—with a twist.
Unicorn makeup is everywhere, like it or not. If you are going to finally embrace this sparkling, brightly-hued trend, you might as well do so by taking cues from Instagrammers who know what they are talking about on this front.
Here are four unicorn-tastic accounts to follow.
1. "The Stylish Unicorn"
Emi Unicorn's lilac mane is just a sliver of a peek at her magical, magical style. On the lookout for amazing photography and fashion-forward tips? Look no further. Oh and her makeup is as pretty as you'd expect it to be (albeit a little more low-key). No wonder Unicorn Manor is so whimsically fantastic.
2. "The Glamorous Unicorn"
Shumi Dee is a makeup marvel and her feed is full of beautiful ideas, including this surprisingly subtle unicorn look.
3. "The Quirky Unicorn"
Natalie NAT has a knack for creative cosmetics (like this very cool "vampire unicorn" look) and her makeup skills are pretty damn impressive.
4. "The Glittering Unicorn"
Gisselle is the perfect person to turn to for attention-grabbing, unicorn-esque looks. Seriously, she has them down pat.
So, polish your horn, throw on some glitter and dye your hair a pastel shade because unicorn style is still here to conquer.

Perth Glory have recorded a third straight home win after they defeated Newcastle 3-2 at nib Stadium on Saturday night.
Perth Glory have recorded a third straight home win after they defeated Newcastle 3-2 at nib Stadium on Saturday night.
The win means Perth leapfrog Newcastle into third on the Hyundai A-League ladder, one point shy of Central Coast and behind Adelaide in second on goal difference.
Substitute Chris Harold drove home the winner for the home side in the 84th minute after Jets goalkeeper Mark Birighitti spilled a Glory corner.
Newcastle had opened the scoring in just the fifth minute from the first corner of the match when Josh Mitchell was left unmarked at the back post and his header landed in the lap of Tiago Calvano, who deflected home off his knee.
But Glory responded just five minutes later when Steve McGarry blasted an attempted Jets clearance into the bottom right hand corner of Birighitti's goal from beyond 20 yards.
Perth took the lead in the 38th minute when Dean Heffernan's header from a Scott Jamieson cross was deflected into the path of Nick Ward, who calmly slotted home.
Former Perth player Mitchell looked to have earned his team a point in the 70th minute when he toe-poked home an Emile Heskey knock down from a Scott Neville free kick past Daniel Vukovic.
The Newcastle set pieces caused the Perth defence trouble all night with both of the Jets' goals coming as a result along with several more chances, which they failed to capitalise on.
Perth wasted several opportunities late in the first half to extend their lead.
First, Ward was inches away from scoring his second when he tipped on a Liam Miller cross to force a sharp save from Birighitti.
And Glory looked to have a third when Scott Jamieson put the ball in the back of the net shortly after as Perth cut Newcastle open down the left, only to be ruled offside.
Newcastle were not without their own chances to earn more from the game, notably marquee man Heskey, who missed a number of chances from close range that the big striker would normally expect to put away.

TRENTON, N.J. (Legal Newsline) - New Jersey Attorney General Jeffrey Chiesa announced Tuesday an appellate panel upheld the legal validity of a $75,000 sexual harassment case settlement with a South Jersey restaurant owner.
In 2011, the Division on Civil Rights negotiated a settlement with Ronald Ford Jr., the owner of the downtown Camden restaurant and coffee shop City Coffee. A $75,000 agreement reached with Ford was meant to resolve allegations that Ford sexually harassed multiple female employees over a period of years.
Under the terms of the settlement negotiated by Ford's attorney, Ford was required to pay $15,000 to the state and provide training to all his employees on harassment and discrimination in the workplace. Additionally, $60,000 of the settlement payout was suspended and would be vacated after three years unless Ford failed to live up to all terms of the agreement. Ford admitted no wrongdoing in the agreement.
While Ford was copied on the settlement in June 2011 and Ford's attorney asked that the case be marked as settled, Ford refused to sign the final consent judgment. The DCR petitioned Superior Court Judge Robert Millenky to enforce the settlement and the judge granted the request.
Ford subsequently challenged Millenky's ruling before the Appellate Division. The panel upheld the enforcement of the agreement on Jan. 4. The panel said that it is immaterial that Ford did not sign the agreement and he is bound as a matter of law by the terms of the consent judgment.
The settlement resolved a five-count complaint filed against Ford and City Coffee in 2007.
Ford allegedly subjected six female employees to lewd comments, unwanted touching, invitations to pose for photographs nude or in revealing clothing, and requests for sexual favors. He also allegedly terminated one of the employees after she reported his alleged harassment to police.

Paris2024 declared the winner: French diplomacy mobilized [fr]
On Wednesday 13 September 2017, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) chose Paris to host the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games and Los Angeles for 2028.
Ambassador Florence Jeanblanc-Risler writes:
It's official. Paris will host the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. We are all happy.
I have long believed Paris was the right choice for three reasons that have resonated with New Zealanders and Games fans around the world.
A sustainable games
The Paris games will embody France's push for environmental excellence.
Our strategy includes cutting the games' carbon footprint by 55 per cent compared to the London 2012 Olympic Games, ensuring the Games venues are powered by renewable and recovered energy sources and getting 100 per cent of spectators to their venues via public transport and active mobility. The compact site design means 85 per cent of athletes will be accommodated within 30 minutes of their competition venue.
Building on the momentum of the Paris Agreement, these games will move faster, aim higher and build stronger protections for our shared planet than any before.
A sound plan
With 95% of the facilities already built or only temporary, Paris 2024 will need to build just two types of facilities: the athletes' and media villages and the aquatic centre, thus ensuring a responsible and controlled budget. After the games, the village will become a new, mixed eco-neighbourhood with schools, shops and a variety of accommodation.
Paris has a strong track record of hosting major events like the COP21, UEFA Euro 2016 and the World Men's Handball Championship.
With unique heritage and hospitality expertise, Paris and France are the world's top tourist destinations. In 2024, the centenary of the 1924 Paris Olympics, the entire city will become an Olympic Park, with iconic locations like the Eiffel Tower, Les Invalides, the Champs-Élysées and the Château de Versailles providing the backdrop to some spectacular Olympic and Paralympic moments.
A shared vision
The Paris 2024 Games will be based on the concept of sharing. These Games aim to build a more inclusive and united society, both in France and beyond. They will take place in the heart of our global capital and drive a celebration of sport around the world.
Inspired and led by the sports movement, the Paris 2024 vision has also unified the city. It has the support of 77 per cent of the French public. It also has French sportspeople everywhere, all levels of government, the business world, associations and many NGOs standing right behind it.
I know New Zealanders' passion and great sporting success will contribute to this fantastic shared celebration of sport.
See you in Paris.

A friend of mine recently rescued a Pyrenees cross and we were considering names. Now, names are very important on many levels but probably the one that comes to mind first is that the animal usually becomes their name. For example, Combat the cat is a Himalayan nightmare. He CHARGES any dog he sees no matter what size or temperament…and he wins. Unfortunately he's not real happy with anyone else either. Hurricane the Redbone is a sweet boy, but is always in motion and he doesn't really know where his body is, so many things in the china shop fall prey to his exuberance.
Rescued animals often receive a name change. A new start with a new name, I suppose. It is something that has never really resonated with me. It seems to me the name change comes from more of an ego position; the new guardian has a need to stake his claim, mark his territory if you will. I mean, I don't like Billy Bob's name either, but that's his name…what are you going to do? A rescued companion has already gone through so many changes, albeit good ones usually, but changes none the less and the body/mind responds to changes, good or bad, in the same manner. Confusion about what his person is calling him doesn't need to be in the equation. Just my opinion. But, for fun, let's reverse the roles and look at it from a different perspective.
Kelly has a high paying job which requires difficult decisions and a good bit of stress, but it has afforded her a lovely home. The job also gives her position in the community. Suddenly, for reasons unknown, she is moved to some little village in India without her family or her job. She doesn't know where to apply for a job even if she knew WHAT to apply for , has no friends, the food and customs are strange to her, the water makes her sick, so she doesn't feel the best, she doesn't fit in and everyone's calling her Mary. Not only is EVERYTHING different…but now, she isn't even Kelly anymore! Metaphorically and emotionally, she doesn't know who she is. She was a so-and-so at such-and-such a place, but she can't identify with that anymore, because she doesn't do that. Nothing is familiar.
The situation may not be quite the same, but the emotions are and they are very real. You know you are going to give this dog a good home, you're going to treat him like the precious gift he is. You know that….but he doesn't, he doesn't know you at all. He's just hoping everything works out for the best. So, maybe let him keep his name. Let him hang on to something familiar, something he can build on; at least for a little while.
And if you feel the need at some point to make that change…choose wisely and remember the Himalayan Nightmare.

Eggs for Breakfast
We can and we should eat eggs as a diabetic A study published in the International Journal of Obesity found that overweight and obese people who were given two eggs a day for breakfast lost 65% more weight than those who ate a similar breakfast without eggs. The researchers found that eating the eggs may help control your hunger by reducing the post meal insulin response. This appetite control prevents large fluctuations in glucose and insulin levels.
With this said, I recommend mixing in eggs with your breakfast. I am a big fan of eggs in the morning, and I will be sharing different recipes that I like on Diabetes Strength!
