Today I want to talk about what are some healthy snacks you can have when you are on the go.
Do any of these scenarios sound familiar?
You're stuck in a meeting that's running late, and your stomach is growling – time to hit the vending machine down the hall.
You're rushing around town, running errands and shuttling kids – you decide to stop for fast food.
Don't let your busy schedule throw you off track! When hunger hits, be prepared and snack smart with these healthy (and delicious) snacks for on the go.
What Are Some Healthy Snacks?
Hard-Boiled Eggs
If you've been in an airport or convenience store lately, you've probably seen prepackaged hard-boiled eggs on the snacking aisle. This is one new trend I hope is here to stay! Grab a packet of hot sauce for a boost of flavor, and you have a tasty treat that's undeniably healthy.
Jerky is a tried and true road-trip favorite. It ranks at the top of the list of convenient snacks and is packed with the protein that your body needs. Just make sure to check the ingredients and try to choose a brand without added sugar. Or make your own!
String Cheese
Next time you ask yourself what are some healthy snacks I can munch on, remeber string cheese. There's something about snacking on string cheese that feels like an indulgence – but the right cheese can be an incredibly healthy and filling snack. Cheese delivers a powerful one-two punch with both calcium and protein. Go with a lighter, lower fat option to make cheese your guilt-free pleasure!
Dry-Roasted Edamame or Chickpeas
This delicious treat is packed with nutrients and is an excellent source of protein and fiber. And they're super portable for easy snacking that doesn't require a cooler or flatware. The salty crunch is even more delicious than potato chips!
Greek Yogurt
While not the most portable option, Greek yogurt is still a foodie favorite if you've got a few minutes to sit and snack. It's high in protein and calcium, which is great for your bones. Be wary of yogurt with added sugar – opt for one with more fat instead. It may have slightly more calories, but it will help you stay full longer.
Fresh Fruit
Craving something sweet? An orange or banana are great options to stick in your bag when you're in a hurry. They're easy to peel and eat anywhere without needing to be washed. While fresh fruit won't keep you satisfied for hours on end, it's an ideal "pick me up" when you need a little extra pep in your step.
Nuts or Nut Butter
Almond are a personal favorite for quick and easy snacking that leaves you feeling full and energized. Go for the pre-packaged bags to keep your serving size in check — or package your own single-serve baggies before you hit the road. Nut butters (while not as finger-food friendly) also give you a boost of healthy fats and keep you feeling full. Plus, both nuts and nut butters are packed with protein.
Other Snacking Ideas:
• Popcorn
• Olives
• Sliced veggies and low-fat salad dressing
• Tuna pouch
• Pumpkin seeds
• Hummus
There you go, 13 good options, so the next time you want to know what are some healthy snacks I can carry with me, just remember this post :)

It's a sad sad sad day around here when the tomatoes are gone for the year. Sad, I tell you. So very sad.
What to do when the tomatoes are gone, but the desire for salsa is strong?
I turn to my good friend (not really, but I wish he were so he'd invite me to dinner at that great house of his), Rick Bayless
This is what he does and if it's good enough for my friend Rick, it's good enough for me!
- 1 or 2 fresh jalapenos
- 3 garlic cloves, peeled
- 1 15 oz can fire roasted tomatoes
- ¼ C fresh cilantro
- 2 T fresh lime juice
- Salt
- In a skillet, roast the jalapenos and the garlic, turning frequently until the peppers are brown, about 10 minutes
- Let cool until you can handle, then peel, deseed and roughly chop
- Place in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped
- Add the tomatoes and pulse until coarsely pureed
- Stir in the cilantro, lime juice and salt to taste
Serve with warmed tortilla chips and a margarita and pretend it's August and you are out on your deck, enjoying summer!
Recipe from Rick Bayless

Trinity Church on Mission - In God's word he calls his people to care for the fatherless, the widow, and the poor. Our focus is to always be seeking out ways that we can meet the needs of these people specifically. These are our neighbors. Here are a few ways we are regularly serving our community.
Bonton Farms
Bonton Farms was birthed when one man saw a need in his community of Bonton, a food desert where access to healthy foods was previously non-existent. Through the Farm, they have created an agricultural intervention to restore lives, create jobs and ignite hope in a forgotten, neglected neighborhood for the most marginalized and vulnerable people.
TCOC has partnered with Bonton Farms to support their mission by providing volunteer workers on the third weekend of each month. For information on how to volunteer, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Tyler Street Tower
Tyler Street Tower is a retirement & assisted living facility here in Oak Cliff where we serve it's residents each quarter with a morning of bingo and a devotional, not to mention good conversation and community. We are always looking for bingo prizes to share with the residents, including household items, puzzles, etc that we can bless them with.
Check out our events page to see when we will be serving there next!
Backpack Drive
Puede Network
Each year the members of TCOC come together to provide backpacks and school supplies for those in our community who need the assistance as they get ready to go back to school. This year we partnered with Puede Network to provide over 40 backpacks for kids in the area!

Themes are used to give your web site a consistent appearance. They do not impact the content; rather they focus on the rendered format of the controls on your web site. A theme consists of skins, cascading style sheets, images, and resource files. In this lesson I show you how to create a theme for your web site.
Each theme must be placed in a subfolder of the App_Themes folder (see Figure 12A-1).
If your application does not include an App_Themes folder you can create one easily by right-clicking the name of the project and selecting Add
In my example I have set up two themes: the Yellow Theme and the Blue Theme. Both themes consist of a folder of images, a
Button.skin file, and a cascading style sheet. You are already very familiar with cascading style sheets, but, you are probably wondering, what is a skin?
As you know, cascading style sheets are used to format HTML elements. Skins, similarly, are used to format server controls. To create a new skin file, right-click the folder that contains the theme to which you want to add the skin, select the Skin File template, name your skin, and click the Add button (see Figure 12A-3).

vacation [day two]
Day two was fairly relaxed...no agenda as it should be with little ones. We started the day with donuts and playtime at the beach house...
then we threw on our beach clothes sans-showers and hit the sand and waves...
after we had all gotten a little sun, and worked up quite an appetite, we satisfied our hungry tummies with some food from
Fins Grill and Icehouse. We had to visit this restaurant. ;)
After lunch I wasn't feeling to well (too much sun I think) and Baby Boy needed a nap, so we headed back to the beach house to get cleaned up and rest a bit.
Later on we headed to a cute coffee shop (you knew I would find one right?!) for some coffee, free Wi-Fi, and gelato! YUM!
That evening the beach was calling to us, so we went back again for a stroll in the fading evening light...
After the light faded, we headed back to the beach house for something My Girl had been anticipating all day...
I put Baby Boy to bed, while My Girl and her Daddy took a swim in the dark.

Miranda Hernandez (37), mother to Adrian James, stillborn at 41 weeks on 30 June 2017. Miranda is currently 6 months pregnant with a little girl whose current nickname is Peanut.
California | Photographed in Chicago
Miranda shares -
"Two years ago, I was pregnant with my first child. As a Single Mother by Choice (SMC), he was both planned and gloriously wanted, and despite the typical complaints of pregnancy, I was happy. At the start of my pregnancy, I was thirty five and slightly overweight, two things which doctors may or may not consider serious. I had no other risk factors. I thought my pregnancy was going well.
On 21 June, 2017, the day before my son was due, I told my providers I wasn't feeling as much movement. I told them a few other things, things I now know are serious red flags. They told me I was fine. Eight days later, my son died.
I spent the first year after his death in a fog. I went to support groups. I journaled. I crawled inside myself and screamed. I lost good friends who couldn't watch me in pain. I tried and failed to make sense of the incomprehensible.
The second year was harder. I had moved to a new city where few people knew. Children became a difficult subject. People expected me to be "okay." I lost track of the number of times I was told to "have another baby," as if children are interchangeable. Everything finally started to feel real.
How has parenthood impacted your body image?
I've never had issues with body dysmorphia; it's just never been something I've struggled with, but I do have issues with my postpartum body.
Not that I hate my appearance, because I love every stretch mark and curve, every sign of the nine long months I nurtured my son. These are my mommy badges, and I often think I had trouble letting go of the weight because it was one more link to him.
What I did struggle with were the conversations. It simply wasn't possible to say the words, "when I was pregnant," and not have someone ask about my child. And as much as I love talking about my son, there were days after his death when I just needed to get through the grocery store and the rest of my errands and not have to explain to strangers that no--I wasn't currently pregnant; I was just grieving, and I didn't even realize I was stroking my stomach in a public place.
And sometimes I worry that this makes me a bad mother...and sometimes I want to throw things and just walk away. Why are people so damn nosy in our culture anyway?
Now that I am pregnant for the second time, I am experiencing a different type of conversation. I am discovering even more than before that when I present a pregnant body to the world, the world feels entitled to ask about my history. And I didn't realize until recently how difficult it is for both them and me when I refuse to lie and claim this little girl as my "first" child. So I tell the truth. And many people walk away. And I am standing, holding space for both my children.
Feel free to share your postpartum journey.
I came home from the hospital to a fully-furnished nursery, a stockpile of diapers, and a lifetime of broken dreams. I came home to texts and messages from well-meaning friends. I came home, crawled into bed, and wished that I could die.
There aren't enough words to describe those early days. No one talks to you about the possibility of stillbirth. No one tells you it happens to 1 in 160 pregnancies. Not one of my providers ever mentioned that a full-term baby could suddenly and inexplicably die the day before he was born. And because of that, I wasn't prepared. I didn't know how to function in a world where my very much wanted and planned-for son wasn't living.
I didn't know how to go back to work again. I didn't know how to prompt my brain on how to think. I didn't know grief was like having a long-term concussion, or that things that used to be easy would feel out of reach. For months I tried to come back to myself, tried to function in a newly darkened world. For months I tried to make sense of reality, and found comfort only in his memories. And none of this was part of what I originally planned.
Completely separate from the emotions, there was the physical reality. I still made milk. I still had bleeding. I was bloated and carried weight in my belly for almost the next nine months. And for the longest time, I still felt phantom kicking. It was a surreal and painful and a beautiful reminder he was real. And I captured it permanently in a tattoo on my ribs.
It has been more than twenty months since my son was born sleeping. It has been more than twenty months, and I still talk about him. On what should have been his first birthday, I launched a website in his memory. I've held fundraisers in his name. I spread news about how his death could have been prevented. These aren't the things I imagined when I was pregnant. This isn't how I planned to mother him. The old me didn't know it was possible to mother a dead baby. But this is what I'm doing. This is how I'm keeping him alive, in me. Because he was a person, a human being. And his existence will always be part of me.
What is your truth?
There is no cosmic plan. There is no destiny or "meant to be." There is no lesson to be learned in hardship, nor meaning to be found in the death of my son. I was not set on this path to become a better person. I am not strong; I am not brave. I am not a parable or cautionary tale. I am a person; a human being. I have experienced tragedy. It could happen to anyone. I am continually finding my way in the world. I am grieving and I am love. And there is no truth stronger than that.
Why did you choose to participate in this movement and share your story?
I used to believe nature was everything. I used to believe things happened for a reason. I used to believe if I wanted something strongly enough and maintained positivity, nothing could truly stand in my way. But if these past two years have taught me anything, it is that life is unpredictable, and tumultuous, and strange. And even under those conditions, there is still beauty, and there is still love.
I am pregnant now for the second time. I am grieving and I am full of feeling for my second child. I am living and I am moving forward, but never "moving on." I am incorporating pain and beauty and love and hope into my world.
I don't know what the future will bring. I don't know anything beyond the experience of today. But today, I am happy, and my daughter is living. And I want to document everything. I want to share what's real."

Keep your eyes peeled for these remarkable films
Earlier this month, the Sundance London Film Festival brought the pick of U.S. indie movies to the UK. Fresh from their premieres at Park City, Utah in February, highlights ranged from a bizarre, blackly comic horror comedy to a fascinating documentary about a politician attempting to get back on the campaign trail after a damaging sexting scandal.
And the good news is: they're all coming to a cinema, streaming service or DVD library soon.
Here are nine must-see indie movies to look forward to.
Morris From America
What's it about? Markees Christmas plays hip-hop-loving 13 year-old African-American Morris, who moves to Heidelberg, Germany with his father (Craig Robinson) and attempts to navigate the usual adolescence-related rites of passage in a strange land.
Why should I see it? Cleverly blending the sensibilities of both European and U.S. coming-of-agers, writer-director Chad Hartigan's award-winning fish-out-of-water pic is a treat from beginning to end, thanks to a sharply written script and a pair of winning performances from Robinson and Christmas. Morris' rap scene is a particular highlight.
When's it out? TBC
The Greasy Strangler
What's it about? When Big Ronnie (Michael St. Michaels) and his grown-up son Brayden (Sky Elobar) fall for the same woman (Elizabeth De Razzo), a bitter rivalry erupts between the two men, complicated by the fact that one of them might be notorious grease-covered killer The Greasy Strangler.
Why should I see it? The combination of cartoonish horror effects, blackly comic dialogue and the extraordinary, committed performances from the two leads (let's just say there's a lot of very unflattering nudity) make this unlike anything you've ever seen, in a good way. By turns repulsive, surreal and hilarious, it's the midnight movie to end all midnight movies. Warning: the trailer contains scenes of excessive greasiness and is most definitely NSFW!
When's it out? October / November 2016 (in cinemas)
What's it about? Ellen Page stars as a homeless young woman who impulsively steals a baby from a wealthy, negligent alcoholic (Tammy Blanchard) after she's mistaken for a baby-sitter. In desperation, she seeks out her ex-boyfriend's lonely mother (Allison Janney) and passes the baby off as her own.
Why should I see it? Former Juno co-stars Page and Janney deliver awards-worthy performances while writer-director Sian Heder's sympathetic, powerfully emotional script refuses to demonise, instead finding unexpectedly moving connections between all three women.
When's it out? Netflix have picked it up and will be releasing it on July 29, 2016.
The Intervention
What's it about? When four couples (including Melanie Lynskey, Natasha Lyonne and Alia Shawkat), converge on a family home for a weekend getaway, things take a sour turn when two of them (Cobie Smulders and Vincent Piazza) realise the entire trip was orchestrated in order to host an intervention on their marriage.
Why should I see it? Actress-turned-writer-director Clea DuVall casts her film to perfection, handing substantial, meaty roles to gifted actors who are all too often relegated to thankless support roles. Smulders, in particular, has never been better, while Lynskey (who won Sundance's Special Jury Award) is simply terrific as the chief instigator of the weekend who has issues of her own.
When's it out? TBC
What's it about? After a sexting scandal that forced him to resign as a U.S. congressman, charismatic (and unfortunately named) politician Anthony Weiner attempts to put the past behind him and embarks on a campaign to run for Mayor of New York City in this Grand Jury Award-winning doc.
Why should I see it? Co-directors Josh Kriegman and Elyse Steinberg were granted unrestricted access to Weiner's campaign and the results are utterly riveting as his apparent lead in the Mayoral race is suddenly derailed by the re-surfacing of the sexting scandal and the subsequent media maelstrom. A compelling, all-too-human story with a fascinating figure at its centre.
When's it out? July 8, 2016 (in cinemas)
Life, Animated
What's it about? As a child, Owen Suskind found a way to deal with his autism by immersing himself in animated Disney movies, using their plots and characters as an emotional road map, helping him to connect to his family and the world around him as he grew up. Roger Ross Williams' award-winning doc follows Owen (now 21) as he faces various coming-of-age milestones, like landing a job, moving into his own place and getting a girlfriend.
Why should I see it? Profoundly moving and often laugh-out-loud funny, Owen's story is genuinely inspirational, particularly when he starts his own Disney Film Club to help other autistic kids. The film also contains perhaps the year's most heart-rending onscreen break-up as a devastated Owen tries to come to terms with getting dumped by his girlfriend.
When's it out? December 9, 2016 (in cinemas)
What's it about? Based on the novel by Philip Roth, this '50s-set drama stars Logan Lerman as the idealistic, working class son of a kosher butcher who attends a small college in Ohio and clashes with the administration, as well as dealing with his own sexual repression after he falls for a troubled girl (Sarah Gadon).
Why should I see it? Logan Lerman and Sarah Gadon confirm their joint rising star status with a pair of beautifully pitched, mature performances that lend dramatic and emotional weight to this engaging period campus drama.
When's it out? TBC
Author: The JT LeRoy Story
What's it about? Jeff Feuerzeiq's documentary unravels the surprising truth behind 16 year-old literary sensation JT LeRoy.
Why should I see it? JT LeRoy's story is weird and fascinating, not least for the surprisingly large number of 1990s creative artists (Tom Waites, Gus Van Sant, Courtney Love, Asia Argento etc) that get drawn into it. However, the film, told in the real LeRoy's own words, also has a pointed argument to make about the veracity of the term "literary hoax", and how the true identity of the author shouldn't have any bearing on the artistic merit of the work itself.
When's it out? July 29, 2016 (in cinemas)
What's it about? Writer-director Todd Solondz's comedy-drama is a four-segment portmanteau film about a quartet of unrelated people (including Greta Gerwig as a grown-up version of Welcome to the Dollhouse's Dawn Wiener) who find their lives changed by a dachshund named Wiener-Dog.
Why should I see it? Solondz's unique strand of jet-black humour is strongly in evidence throughout – witness the scene where mother Julie Delpy cheerfully explains to her young son (Keaton Nigel Cooke) that her own childhood dog died agonisingly in childbirth after being raped by a dog named Muhammad, and that therefore, Wiener-Dog really ought to be spayed. Other highlights include: a comically elongated tracking shot along a line of disgusting doggy diarrhoea (scored to Claire de Lune), and a wonderful Littlest-Hobo-style Wiener-Dog theme song.
When's it out? August 12, 2016 (in cinemas)

All a woman truly longs for in her heart is to feel true connection from the person she loves.
And from her soul she longs to feel safe; safe to be her true self which is both strong and vulnerable.
It takes a real man; strong in his self-confidence, open-minded in his beliefs andavailable with his heart to be her ONE.
I am not a man; so I can onlyponderthat a man also seeks such an honest heart-connection. Such authentic connection is so very rare in our world of fakeness and superficiality. I feel sad for the seekers of true deep love.
Perhaps for all of us we mustshed all preconceptions about what real strength is; where true beauty shines from; relearn how to speak honest words and find the place in us where contentment and appreciation reside.
Real strength is taking down the walls and boundaries and dropping from…

10 Places To Explore On Belle Isle That Will Make You Fall In Love With Detroit's Hidden Gem
For locals, Belle Isle is the place to be for hosting family reunions, playing sports in the athletic field, kayaking, or cycling around the 982-acre island. As enjoyable as these activities are, there is so much more to Detroit's Hidden Gem. Belle Isle's has an extensive history; in the 1600's, it was known as Hog Island. Prior to the French settlers, who used the land for their own purposes, it was inhabited by members of native American tribes.
It was given the name "Belle" in the 1700's, when Antoine de la Mothe, Sieur de Cadillac, the founder of Detroit, named it after his daughter, Isabelle. The city of Detroit purchased the island in 1879 and it became a municipal park in 1882. As of 2016, the park is still owned by the city, on a 30-year lease with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources to maintain and care for the park. The Michigan DNR and Belle Isle Conservancy, a nonprofit organization, have collaborated to protect and preserve this most valuable part of Detroit's history.
There are many more special spots to be discovered on Belle Isle, this guide simply gives you the basics. All of these – and more – prove that this lovely little island is a hidden gem in Detroit. Have a wonderful time!

This year the prestigious annual Global Bioplastics Award was given to Aakar Innovations (Belapur, Mumbai, India) for their compostable sanitary napkins.
(Details see below)
The judges were impressed with the holistic concept, addressing the social, economic and environmental elements at the same time, as Michael Thielen, publisher of bioplastics MAGAZINE pointed out during the award ceremony. A perfect example of what sustainability is all about! It is tangible, helping millions of women in rural India, and shows how bioplastics can advance the cause of environmental and social justice in a responsible manner. All bioplastic components are certified compostable as per EN 13432 or ASTM D6400. A certification for soil degradability is being awaited and will complete a truly remarkable story of empowerment, social justice and environmental responsibility.
The second prize went to Bio4Pack for their PLA meat tray for fresh meat and the third prize went to Danimer and PepsiCo for their Gen 2 biobased/compostable Flexible Package. (Details see below)
Both developments seem simple at first sight, but they aren't. And both can and will pose a significant signal to the packaging market. The PLA tray saw some huge attention in Germany including many reports on television. Big retail chains are interested. And if more such packaging gets introduced, the gap to achieving an significant amount of PLA for economic recycling is getting smaller.
The second generation chips bag saw a successful market introduction in Chile. Danimer and PepsiCo are looking into PHA with its interesting potentials.
The trophy was again made entirely from bioplastics. It was 3D-p
rinted from different PLA/PHA based compounds filled with wood and different metal powders fillers.
The prize was awarded by bioplastics MAGAZINE to the winning companies on December 4th, 2018 during the 13th European Bioplastics Conference in Berlin, Germany.
Loliware (USA) Lolistraw - edible and hypercompostable straws
Many people are aware that there are enough plastic straws to wrap around the Earth's circumference 2.5 times each day. Straws are too small to be recycled. So they usually end up in landfills and waterways, where they linger indefinitely, harming wildlife, and marring the natural beauty.
Lolistraw, introduced by Loliware of New York, USA, is the world's first hypercompostable and even edible straw. It is made from Loliware's patentpending, seaweed-based material technology and is home compostable, marine-degradable, and non-GMO.
The straw's designers Chelsea Briganti and Leigh Ann Tucker call it even hypercompostable to describe a straw that breaks down easily, leaving no traces. The material breaks down in the organics bin alongside food waste in 60 days or less.
Seaweed is a renewable resource that does not require land resources and actually absorbs CO2, which is why a seaweed-based product has an environmental advantage.
The initial texture of Lolistraw is like plastic, but can be made with a flavour or with added nutrients. Before traceless disposal, Lolistraw will last for up to 8 hours in a beverage and will have a shelf life of up to 24 months. When the consumers are done sipping their drink, they can eat the straw or compost it.
"Our world needs a radically new approach to our daily consumption of single-use plastics which too often go to landfill or pollute oceans. Our solutions transform disposables into plant fuel through composting, or human fuel through consumption." says Loliware Co-Founder Leigh Ann Tucker.
Technische Universiteit Eindhoven (The Netherlands): The world's first biobased circular car
The world's first biobased circular car, designed and built in the Netherlands by the Technical University of Eindhoven, was presented earlier this year by the team of students responsible for its design and realization.
This is the first time that a car chassis and all bodywork has been made from natural and biobased materials - no metal or traditional plastics were used for the structural parts of the car. The parts are made up of light and strong sandwich panels, based on natural fiber flax and LuminyR PLA supplied by Total Corbion PLA.
The car, named Noah by the TU/ ecomotive student team, was designed as a city car and features two seats and a spacious trunk. Noah is currently undertaking a European tour of car manufacturers, suppliers and universities to inspire others. In addition to its biobased composition, it is also ultra-light and electricallypowered. Noah reaches a top speed of 110 km/h and the battery range lasts up to 240 km. At 360 kg, the weight of the car excluding batteries is less than half the weight of comparable production cars. In addition to being biobased, the parts are also recyclable, resulting in a 100% circular car, sustainable in all life phases.
The PLA supplied by Total Corbion PLA for use in the car is biobased and recyclable and made from renewable resources, offering a reduced carbon footprint versus many traditional plastics. High heat Luminy PLA grades were used to construct the car, in order to ensure durability and sufficient heat resistance.
Aakar Innovations (India): Compostable sanitary napkins for India's girls and women
Menstruation, the most natural biological phenomenon for women, is considered dirty and impure throughout India. This is reflected in the way the entire concept of Menstrual Hygiene gets handled. The shame, the secrecy, lack of access to clean pads or toilet facilities further adds to the challenges.
Issues such as lack of awareness, lack of access, and un-affordability force approximately 300 million women to rely on old rags, plastic, sand, and ash to address their sanitation needs during their menstrual cycle.
The 12 % that do have access throw away approximately 433 million napkins every month generating a potential of 9,000 tonnes of sanitary waste in India. Furthermore, more than 80 % of this waste is either flushed down the toilet or ending up dumped in a landfill.
Aakar Innovations (Belapur, Mumbai, India) endeavour to break the silence around the issue of menstrual hygiene and provide knowledge and guidance to all stakeholders, especially adolescent girls.
Aakar is a hybrid social enterprise that enables women to produce and distribute affordable, high-quality, 100 % compostable sanitary napkins within their communities while simultaneously raising awareness and sensitization of menstrual hygiene management. That's why Aakar launched a 100 % compostable sanitary pad under the brand name Anandi.
Anandi is a 100 % compostable sanitary napkin using biobased compostable polymer film. It uses virgin soft pine wood pulp containing more than 97 % of cellulose and hemi-cellulose. The wood pulp as used has pure cellulose materials with complete uniformity of fibers allowing it to decompose easily. Activated by an only eco-friendly ozone treatment process and using compostable bioplastic. The root sources of the material used is from naturally available corn starch.
Bio4Pack (Germany): PLA meat tray for fresh meat
After many years of development in cooperation with several major companies in the meat and packaging industry, Bio4Pack has launched a completely new sustainable packaging for fresh meat made from renewable raw materials. It is a world first to ensure that an important category, when it comes to the use of traditional plastic packaging, is given a full-fledged alternative and can switch to sustainable packaging.
The tray is thermoformed from sugarcane based PLA and the transparent multilayer lid is made up of a layer of cellulose based film and one of a PBS/ PBAT/PLA blend. Even the cellulose absorption pad is biobased and compostable.
The fresh meat packaging from Bio4Pack makes an important contribution to the acceptance and application of bioplastics and thus has a positive influence on the development of a circular economy.
The Bio4Pack meat packaging meet all requirements with regard to food safety and can easily be processed on all conventional packaging machines. The Bio4Pack meat trays are available in various colors and sizes. The packaging has an EN13432 certificate for compostability and is 4-star biobased rated.
Recycling preferred
The meat tray is manufactured from renewable raw materials (sugar cane) that ensure an important CO2 saving.
Although the complete packaging is according to EN 13432, Bio4pack and other stakeholders in Holland are investigating the best way to recycle PLA in order to make it serve as raw material for new sustainable products and/or packaging.
PepsiCo and Danimer Scientific (USA): Gen 2 biobased/compostable Flexible Package
Since the launch of a 100 % PLA based compostable snack bag in 2009 PepsiCo has been working in conjunction with Danimer to develop the next generation of biobased resins that could enable industrial compostable snack bags with the right balance of sustainability, performance and cost. The new Danimer resins are blends of biopolymers and mineral filler. PepsiCo developed the right supply chain partners and worked on optimizing the conversion of these core films to barrier films and subsequently fully laminated film structures that meet their performance specs. This next generation bag is comparable in feel, noise and performance to PepsiCo's current bags and certified to be industrially compostable by TUV Austria. Plans are to pilot the new biobased structures in Chile and India later this year. In the meantime, Danimer and PepsiCo are collaborating on a Generation 3 chip bag that is based on Danimer's PHA technology and will be fully biodegradable in home composting environments.
By introducing an industrial compostable chip bag to replace an article that is unable to be recycled, this could have a large impact in the marketplace. PepsiCo's Performance with Purpose has integrated sustainability into their business strategy and a major component of this agenda is to create packaging that is recyclable, compostable or biodegradable for all their products by end of 2025 and at the same time contributing towards the goal of 20 % reduction of GHG across the value chain. A compostable chip bag offers PepsiCo a chance to be a market leader in sustain able snack food packaging and help drive competitors to deliver products that have a reduced impact on the environment.

text: This past week I spent on Moosehead Lake in Greenville at the Moosehead Artisan Village. It was a transformative week; connecting to others, the area, and myself made for some great creating. Absolutely nothing beats being in Nature. I primarily worked on three 48x48" canvases titled Don't Look Down, inspired by following the trail of cosmic breadcrumbs to lead you to your best and highest self. I may still work on these three, but I plan on bringing them to Miami Art Week this December! Greenville will always have a special place in my heart.

Divorce doesn't have to be devastating. Here's some suggestions for navigating it with style and finesse for a different style of happily-ever-after.
No one enters a marriage expecting it not to work out – and when things fall apart and divorce is the result (as it is for some 50% of marriages these days), it can be a traumatic experience, yet it doesn't need to be as painful as you might think.
Although smooth divorce might sound like something of an oxymoron, for many couples it isn't.
Thank Gwyneth Paltrow for coining the phrase "conscious uncoupling." When she and her husband divorced, they did so with grace, love and empathy, proving to a new generation of married couples that a divorce doesn't have to spell the ugly end. Not only was it good news for couples everywhere, but particularly for their children, who are more than often the casualties of a marriage break-up.
Despite any undercurrent of resentment, guilt and fury that might underpin your divorce, it's entirely possible to stay cool, calm and collected and move through the process with as little collateral damage as possible.
Here's some different techniques to try.
Sitting down and speaking calmly with your soon-to-be ex-spouse might be the last thing that you want to do, but taking the time to compose yourself and communicate can be one of the healthiest things that you do for your divorce.
"I wish someone had told me that it doesn't have to be terrible!" says Lauren, a 35-year old mother-of-three young boys from Melbourne. "I think TV and movies make divorce out to be this traumatic, nasty thing. I'm sure it is for some, but it doesn't have to be. Especially where kids are involved."
"Don't play the role of victim and begin to make decisions that reflect your strengths. It's important to develop a healthy response to mistakes and failing," shares therapist Terry Gaspard MSW, LICSW.

If you want your divorce to be smooth sailing, it can be helpful to pick your battles rather than try and fight them all.
Trying to hurt the other person, make a point, or drag things out because you feel wronged, can achieve quite the opposite and make things harder on you, as well as the other person.
"I let my emotions really get the better of me," says Georgia, a 31-year old from London who divorced two years ago. She still carries hurt feelings about the way things ended with her ex-husband and regrets the way that she handled herself.
Get into the habit of asking yourself, "Is this really worth my time, good for my mental health, and my family?"
Compromising on the small things will keep the process moving along. True, it might be a sting to the ego to lose some ground, but sometimes you've got to lose a battle or two to win the war.
One of the biggest mistakes that many divorcing couples make is to rush into the process, going from spending every moment together to never seeing each other again and hating each other. It's a big jump.
And whilst you don't have to stay friends with your ex – or see them again, depending on your situation – it's important to allow yourself proper time to grieve, come to terms with the situation and seek closure, including saying your goodbyes.
If children are involved and you aim to co-parent after the divorce, you might need to make some compromises on what separation will look like. Maybe you'll live alone, but not too far away from the kids. Or maybe you'll schedule a regular family day and still do things together. It's about finding what works for your unique situation, which makes it even more important to keep things civil with your former partner.
Research suggests that when divorced parents remain amicable, children cope with the emotional changes well versus children whose parents remain in high-conflict marriages instead of splitting up. There are many ways to help a child's emotional state during divorce, including not sharing the details of your divorce and encouraging them to express their feelings during the process.
Navigating the murky waters of divorce may be more manageable if you have the freedom to open up, share and talk with a support group like friends, family, others who have also divorced, and a therapist.
"I was lucky that I had people around me that were incredibly supportive, said all the right things and made me laugh, it got me through the whole time relatively easily," says Clarissa from Brisbane.
"I'd hate to think how I would have felt if I had had no one to talk to or distract me. It would have been hell!"
Without a doubt, self-care can fall by the wayside during divorce for many people. After all, when you're running through a mental list of everything that you want to say, do and fight for, it's hard to think about fitting in a 7am yoga class or doing some mindful meditation.
Try tapping into your support network, keep up your positive lifestyle habits, and if you can adopt some new ones, too. It will give you something to take your mind of the turbulent situation that you're experiencing and allow you to have some optimism that things will get better.
And they willget better.
When it comes to moving on, experts say slow and steady is best, as divorce can wreak havoc on even the most confident person's self-esteem.
But how long should you wait?
"Ask yourself, "Do I feel like 'me' again" says Psychologist and Dating Coach, Melanie Schilling and only if you say 'yes' to that question should you consider delving a bit further and getting back out there."
And if you find that you're not ready, she advises that you should spend some time to build up your confidence and resilience first, also adding that if you can't share your story with potential new dates without adding daggers and bitterness, it's probably a sign that you're not ready to date again.
It's not uncommon for many divorcees to take 12 months or more before even considering dating someone new.
And it's far more important that you work through whatever emotional issues you're going through now – whilst giving yourself time to prioritise your healing – than it is to jump into the arms of someone new.
Working through your baggage now will prevent you from inadvertently carrying it into your future relationships. And when you're ready to move on, you will, and with the strength and security from knowing that you handled things as healthily as possible.

Italian Greyhound Breed Standard & info
Italian Greyhound
The Italian Greyhound is a slender, fine-boned little dog. The head is long and narrow, almost flat on the top with a muzzle that tapers to a point. It has a slight stop. The nose is black or brown, depending on the color of the dog's coat. The teeth meet in a scissors bite. The medium-sized eyes are dark. The small ears fold back along the head, and when the dog is alert they angle to the right. The long neck is arched. The chest is deep and narrow. The front legs are straight. Dewclaws may be removed. The long, low-set tail is thin, tapering to a point. The short, glossy coat comes in all colors, including gray, slate gray, red, fawn, blue, black, white or cream. The dogs can be white with color markings or color with white markings on the chest and feet. A flecked version also exists but is not accepted in all countries. Brindle and black and tan are not accepted into the AKC show ring.
The Italian Greyhound is playful, keen, affectionate, intelligent and kind-mannered. It is generally submissive and wants nothing more than to please its owner. It is sensitive to the tone of one's voice and will not listen if it senses that it is stronger minded than its owner, however it will also not respond well to harsh discipline. Owners need to be calm, yet possess an air of natural authority. Can be reserved with strangers; socialize well. Adult dogs are not as fragile as they may appear. Generally they are not difficult to train provided their handler is consistent with them. This dog can be high-strung and timid if overprotected, and does not receive enough exercise, including a daily pack walk. It does best in a quiet household, although it does get along well with children and other dogs and cats, so long as the humans around it display leadership. In a stressful situation, do not try to reassure the dog by stroking or cuddling, as this intensifies the stress in the dog. In the dog world, when a dog is in an unstable state, and you try and give him reassurance with affection, the dog sees you as being in a weaker state than his own. This intensifies the instability. You need to give off a stronger, more stable energy the dog can feed from. Italian Greyhounds are very dependent and peaceful. This dog needs you to be his pack leader. Dogs that are babied and overprotected will be snappish if they are frightened. Do not allow your little dog to develop Small Dog Syndrome, where the dog believes it rules the home. This can cause a wide variety of varying degrees of behavior problems. Can be difficult to housebreak. This breed is extremely fast, very active and is able to climb.
Height, Weight
Height: 12 – 15 inches (30 – 38 cm)
Weight: 6 – 10 pounds (3 – 5 kg)
There are two weight varieties: 8 pounds (4 kg) maximum, and over 8 pounds (4 kg).
Health Problems
Italian Greyhounds are prone to epilepsy, slipped stifle, fractures, PRA (Progressive Retinal Atrophy). Dams whelp easily. Adult dogs are fairly hardy, however puppies are more fragile up until they are about eighteen months old, and they can break a leg rather easily. During this time be careful with them, but do not treat them like little babies or you will produce an unstable dog.
Living Conditions
The Italian Greyhound is good for apartment life. They are fairly active indoors and will do okay without a yard. They are sensitive to cold weather. Owners will often put a shirt on them.
Italian Greyhounds are active little dogs who need a good, daily walk. In addition, they love to run free and play. Be sure to make them heel on the lead. Dogs not only have an instinct to migrate daily, but to have a leader leading the way. Humans should enter and exit all door and gateways before the dog. In order for your dog to fully respect your authority you need to be their leader rather than the other way around.
Life Expectancy
About 12-15 years. One owner said, "I had a pair of IGs. One made it to 12.5 years. He had to be put down as he had a horrid fracture. It was his third. The other one lived to 19.3 years."
The Italian Greyhound is one of the easiest dogs to groom. All that is needed to keep the fine, silky coat gleaming is a rubdown with a piece of toweling or chamois. Only bathe when absolutely necessary. After bathing make sure the dog is thoroughly dry and warm. Trim toenails regularly. This breed sheds little to no hair.
The Italian Greyhound is an ancient breed. A 6000-year-old Egyptian tomb shows dogs similar to the Italian Greyhound. They are also depicted on decorative Mediterranean art of 2000 years ago. The dogs became popular with noblemen during the Renaissance. A small Greyhound type dog was found in an ancient lava flow in the city of Pompeii, which is the ruined and partially buried Roman town-city near the modern Naples in the Italian region of Campania. In the sixteenth century, like the Greyhound, this breed was brought to Europe by the Phoenician civilization, and became popular with European nobility. James I of England, Catherine the Great of Russia, Anne of Denmark and Queen Victoria, all owned Italian Greyhounds. During the 1700s Frederick the Great of Prussia took one of these little dogs to war with him, and he buried the dog himself when it died at the Sans Souci Palace. It was Frederick's dying wish that he be buried next to his dog, so on the 205th anniversary of his death, on 17 August 1991, Frederick's family transferred his remains to Sans Souci, and placed them beside his little Italian Greyhound. In the 19th century an African chieftain liked the dogs so much that he offered 200 cattle in exchange for a single Italian Greyhound. The Italian Greyhound was recognized by the AKC in 1886.

NEW YORK (AP) - Mutual funds that screen companies based on a social criteria received a huge boost in credibility recently with announcements from Vanguard Group and TIAA-CREF that both plan to open so-called socially responsible funds.
Socially responsible mutual funds generally use "negative" screens to ferret out the stocks of companies investors feel do society more harm than good. Alcohol, tobacco and firearms stocks are frequently barred from socially responsible funds through negative screens.
"These funds were kind of considered a joke. The belief was that you couldn't invest with your conscience without losing your wallet."
In some cases, "positive" screens are used to reward companies whose records reflect progressive stances on the environment, labor practices and civic responsibility.
These types of funds, however, have always been considered something of a novelty.
Not any more.
Vanguard is America's second largest mutual fund company, trailing only Fidelity Investments. And TIAA-CREF invests the pension funds of millions of American teachers.
Between the two, Vanguard and TIAA-CREF are responsible for hundreds of billions of dollars in assets.
So when names like this decide to join a trend, it's no longer a trend - it's the mainstream. They both plan to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission and expect the funds to open in early 2000.
"It certainly lends an air of credibility to the social investing phenomenon," said Emily Hall, an analyst with Morningstar Inc., a Chicago firm that tracks mutual funds.
"These funds were kind of considered a joke. The belief was that you couldn't invest with your conscience without losing your wallet," Hall added.
But it's hard to argue with success.
The largest of the socially responsible fund families - including Pax World Funds, Citizens Funds and Domini - have all performed well in recent years, analysts said.
One reason for the success is that socially responsible funds tend to invest in newer, technology-driven companies, many of which pride themselves on being environmentally sound and progressive in terms of labor practices.
More importantly, though, many of these companies have huge growth potential.
In contrast, many of the so-called "smokestack companies," which formed the foundation for U.S. manufacturing and industry, have poor environmental and labor records. Moreover, the industries they serve are considered mature, leaving these companies with little room to grow.
Burt Greenwald, a Philadelphia-based mutual fund consultant, said he believes most of the large fund families will open socially responsible funds in the near future.
"This is gradually becoming a mainstream product after years of being on the periphery of the mutual fund business," Greenwald said. "The performance of some of the existing socially responsible funds lends credence to the belief that companies with a good heart can also be a good investment."
Vanguard's socially responsible fund - to be called the Vanguard Calvert Social Index Fund - will attempt to track the performance of a new index consisting of about 1,000 socially screened companies. The index was created by the Calvert Group, which also manages socially responsible funds.
TIAA-CREF, which hasn't released details of its new fund, has been under pressure recently to adopt a more aggressive strategy toward socially responsible investing. A small but vocal faction of academics whose pension funds are invested with TIAA-CREF have been pushing for investments in fledgling companies that are furthering community development efforts in their local communities.
Morningstar's Hall predicted that Vanguard and TIAA-CREF will be able to offer lower fees than their competitors in the socially responsible niche because of the economies of scale afforded to large fund companies.
Socially screened funds can be more expensive, Hall noted, because of the extra research needed to weed out undesirable companies.

Variable Frame Rate Footage is a thing/
The thing about being self-taught in media software is that there are problems that crop up that you just don't even really know are solvable.
One of those problems is that the video I get off my webcam or my phone never sync up in Adobe Premiere. This is super frustrating, because I can't really afford to budget for Adobe Creative Suite and a nice camera.
So, I watch a lot of really competent media people who make videos where they just talk about stuff. Some of the people I've been listening to are Matt Gray and Tom Scott, just because (a.) they're interesting and funny, and (b.) sometimes they say stuff like this, about suggesting Adobe Creative Suite for amateur or aspiring vloggers:
With the caveat that adobe premiere does not handle variable frame rate footage. And I have sen friend after friend of mine go "Why is video and audio stepping out of sync in this really fancy, expensive editing software?" It's because it's not designed for footage from this thing, it's designed for pro footage.
It turns out there's a program called HandBrake, an open source app that basically solves this problem. I had to do a bit of googling, since they didn't give the answer in the video, but there's just an immense difference between not knowing something can be done and not knowing how to do something.

HYAFF® based Epidermal Substitute
Hyalomatrix® PA is a dermal substitute composed of a three-dimensional HYAFF® scaffold and a protective, transparent outer silicon layer. It is designed specifically to restore the unique architecture of the dermis in cases involving full thickness dermal damage.
- Hyalomatrix® stimulates dermal regeneration by its steady and sustained release of hyaluronic acid as soon as it is implanted.
- The 3D scaffold provides an ideal environment for cell invasion.
- Stimulates neo-angiogenesis
- Minimizes scar formation due to its ability to regulate collagen production.
- Helps prevent contractures thanks to the neodermis structure it forms.
- Helps reduce revision procedures by enabling a dermal regeneration that supports functional and esthetic qualities of the skin.
- Hyalomatrix® is highly bio-compatible and is fully integrated into the tissue over time.
Hyalomatrix® is indicated for the treatment of full-thickness dermal tissue loss. It is also suitable for use on exposed tendons and bones. Not recommended for infected and/or highly exuding wounds.
- Chronic wounds including diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers and leg ulcers
- Full thickness burns (deep 2nd degree & 3rd degree)
- Surgical and traumatic wounds
Immediately after the surgical debridement/excision, when hemostasis is achieved, Hyalomatrix® is applied onto the clean wound bed. (The silicon layer must be on top). It can be fixed into place via staplers. It is advisable to cover Hyalomatrix® with a secondary absorbent dressing. Bandaging is also recommended to provide protection as well as enable a close contact of the matrix with the wound bed. The transparent outer layer of Hyalomatrix® allows for regular inspections without disturbing the matrix. Depending on the physician's decision, when sufficient dermal regeneration is achieved (usually within 14-21 days), the outer silicon membrane is removed and split thickness skin graft procedure can be performed; or alternatively spontaneous re-epithelialization can be preferred.
Hyalomatrix®PA Sizes: 5cm x 5cm, 10cm x 10cm, 10cm x 20 cm
Case: Achilles Tendon Ulcer in Patient with Type 2 Diabetes
- Ulcer unresponsive to treatment for over a month
- Progressive exposure of the Achilles tendon
- Equinus foot due to lack of use

KIRKLEES councillors threw their weight behind the campaign to stop health services being removed from Huddersfield Royal Infirmary.
But they also ruled out a referendum on the controversial plans at the full council meeting at Huddersfield Town Hall yesterday.
The £60,000 bill was too much, the meeting decided.
Six abstentions apart, every single councillor voted against closing surgical, gynaecological, children's and maternity wards at the infirmary and transferring them to Calderdale Royal Hospital in Halifax. Earlier yesterday some councillors met officials of the Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Trust to discuss the proposals.
But Tory councillor Tony Brice and many of his peers said they were not convinced by the arguments for a transfer of services.
"Nothing I have heard today from the health trust has changed my opinion - this is a done deal," he told the packed meeting.
"I would like to state my clear opposition. This has always been my view from the commencement of this sham consultation.
"The trust claims its proposals are not cash driven and yet by not providing the essential services for complicated births it is revealed they are saving around £800,000.
"This whole farce is cash driven. It is about saving money and if the odd life is lost as a result - tough.
How many experts have to speak out against these changes - midwives, GPs, ambulance representatives - before people start to listen?"
A council scrutiny committee will discuss the proposals in more detail in January before the public consultation period closes.
