Extreme Green: Earth Recycles 2.5-Billion-Year-Old Ocean Crust
The remains of a real-life journey to the center of the Earth are preserved in a South Pacific volcano, a new study suggests.
The lava that erupted from the Cook Islands volcano, called Mangaia, contains a few tiny grains of sulfide, a mineral, with a peculiar ratio of sulfur isotopes, according to research published in today's (April 24) issue of the journal Nature. The unusual ratio could only have formed before oxygen-breathing life appeared on Earth 2.45 billion years ago. Isotopes are versions of elements with different numbers of neutrons, giving them differing weights.
The study researchers think the sulfide formed at Earth's surface ages ago in ancient oceanic crust, and then sank deep into Earth's mantle, likely all the way to the core-mantle boundary, 1,865 miles (3,000 kilometers) below the surface. Some billions of years later, a plume of hot material rising from above the core ferried the sulfide skyward, until it escaped through Mangaia about 20 million years ago.
"We have identified material that was actually at the surface 2.45 billion years ago," said Rita Cabral, lead study author and a geochemistry graduate student at Boston University. [Infographic: Tallest Mountain to Deepest Ocean Trench]
Reduce, reuse, recycle
The findings are direct evidence that oceanic crust was recycled in the mantle, Cabral said. Scientists are pretty confident that over millions of years, giant convection cells churned the stiff rock inside the mantle, the layer between Earth's thin crust and iron core. Convection could also recycle crust that disappears into the mantle via subduction zones, the plate boundaries where one tectonic plate dives underneath another. Images derived from seismic waves, which change speed when passing through cold or hot materials, have revealed possible oceanic crust piled near the core.
"The fact we have a time constraint is great for figuring out exactly how vigorous convection is in the mantle, and how extensive it is, " Cabral told OurAmazingPlanet. "It's very exciting, and I'm looking forward to seeing what models come out of it. If there are areas where this material can sit around for a couple billion years, that's something really important."

The sulfur isotopes pin a minimum age on the source of Mangaia's lava, so the lava could be even older than 2.45 billion years. Before that time, there was no protective ozone layer on Earth, because there was little oxygen in the atmosphere. Ultraviolet radiation from the sun strongly influenced sulfur chemistry in the atmosphere, leaving a distinctive chemical signature in the rocks. When oxygen-breathing life appeared, sulfur chemistry shifted dramatically.
"I think this is another really strong piece of evidence that material from the surface of the Earth gets subducted and transported to the mantle and ultimately returns in these mantle plumes," said William White, a geochemist at Cornell University who wasn't involved in the study. "My suspicion is that this has been tucked away at the base of the mantle for 2.5 billion years or so."
Mangaia is part of a chain of volcanic islands that rose from the sea over a hotspot, or plume of material rising from the mantle — similar to Hawaii's volcanoes.
"Stuff from the very deepest mantle is forming these ocean island volcanoes, and I think the real takeaway is the fact that there's an intimate connection between surface material and the deep mantle," White said. "Some of the things down there were once at the surface of the Earth."
Time capsule
Cabral explained that volcanic islands each have unique chemical signatures — think of them as having flavors. Scientists are still sorting out the reasons for the different flavors. Some islands may come from subducted oceanic crust, while others could be sediments, or even fragments of continents. But there are odd geochemical signals, such as the sulfur isotopes Cabral and her co-authors found, that hint at
stranger stuff going on in the mantle.
"Some of the chemistry in these mantle-derived lavas — some of the things we don't understand — might reflect some of the surface history of the Earth," White told OurAmazingPlanet.
The findings help confirm that the mantle can store very old crust for billions of years. In this case, it gave geochemists a window into Earth's early history. Other odd rock chemistry has led scientists to conclude that there may be even older rocks in the mantle, from before 4 billion years ago, said Steve Shirey, a geochemist at the Carnegie Institute for Science in Washington, D.C., who was not involved in the study. (The Earth is 4.54 billion years old.)
"We don't know how we go from what we see on the ocean floor to what we see at the depths," Shirey said. "At this stage, a lot of things are possible."

Professional Liability
Professional liability insurance (PLI), also called professional indemnity insurance (PII) but more commonly known as errors & omissions (E&O) in the US, is a form of liability insurance that helps protect professional advice- and service-providing individuals and companies from bearing the full cost of defending against a negligence claim made by a client, and damages awarded in such a civil lawsuit. The coverage focuses on alleged failure to perform on the part of, financial loss caused by, and error or omission in the service or product sold by the policyholder.
These are causes for legal action that would not be covered by a more general liability insurance policy which addresses more direct forms of harm. Professional liability coverage sometimes also provides for the defense costs, like when legal action turns out to be groundless. Coverage does not include criminal prosecution, nor a wide range of potential liabilities under civil law that are not enumerated in the policy, but which may be subject to other forms of insurance. Professional liability insurance is required by law in some areas for certain kinds of professional practice (especially medical and legal), and is also sometimes required under contract by other businesses that are the beneficiaries of the advice or service.
Professional liability insurance may take on different forms and names depending on the profession. For example, in reference to medical professions, it is called malpractice insurance, while errors and omissions (E&O) insurance is used by insurance agents, consultants, brokers, and lawyers. Other professions that commonly purchase professional liability insurance include accounting, engineering and financial services, construction and maintenance (general contractors, plumbers, etc., many of whom are also surety bonded), and transport. Some charities and other nonprofits/NGOs are also professional-liability insured.

Posted April 13, 2010
I just downloaded this game and have gotten to the catacombs. It's great so far, but I've noticed something strange: enemies that throw things seem to die after they throw their stuff. In the level 2, chapter one, the axe-wielding monks die after throwing their axes. In the catacombs, there's these guys that throw knives, then seem to turn into some sort of huge hulk. I'm thinking these are what the manual calls "vamps" and they're supposed to transform only after being killed. Is this a glitch of some sort?

Hearing aids
Hearing aids are electronic or battery-operated devices that can amplify and change sound. A microphone receives the sound and converts it into sound waves. The sound waves are then converted into electrical signals. Children as young as 2 months can be fitted with hearing aids.
What are the different types of hearing aids?
The type of hearing aid recommended for your child will depend on several factors, including physical limitations, medical condition and personal preference. There are many different types of hearing aids on the market, with companies continuously inventing newer, improved hearing aids. However, there are four basic types of hearing aids available today. Consult your child's physician for additional information on each of the following types:
In-the-ear (ITE) hearing aids |
These hearing aids come in plastic cases that fit in the outer ear. Generally used for mild to severe hearing loss, ITE hearing aids can accommodate other technical hearing devices, such as the telecoil, a mechanism used to improve sound during telephone calls. However, their small size can make it difficult to make adjustments. In addition, ITE hearing aids can be damaged by ear wax and drainage. |
Behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aids |
Behind-the-ear hearing aids, as the name implies, are worn behind the ear. This type of hearing aid, which is in a case, connects to a plastic earmold inside the outer ear. These hearing aids are generally used for mild to severe hearing loss. However, poorly fitted BTE hearing aids can cause feedback, an annoying "whistling" sound, in the ear. |
Canal aids | Canal aids fit directly in the ear canal and come in two styles: in-the-canal (ITC) aid and completely-in-canal (CIC) aid. Customized to fit the size and shape of the individual's ear canal, canal aids are generally used for mild to moderate hearing loss. However, because of their small size, removal and adjustment may be more difficult. In addition, canal aids can be damaged by ear wax and drainage. |
Body aids | Generally reserved for profound hearing loss, or if the other types of hearing aids will not accommodate, body aids are attached to a belt or pocket and connected to the ear with a wire. |
Who may be a candidate for hearing aids?
Nearly all children who have a hearing loss that may be improved with hearing aids can benefit from these devices. The type of hearing aid recommended may depend on several factors, including, but not limited to, the following:
- The shape of the outer ear (deformed ears may not accommodate behind-the-ear hearing aids).
- Depth of depression near the ear canal (too shallow ears may not accommodate in-the-ear hearing aids).
- The type and severity of hearing loss.
- The manual dexterity of the child to remove and insert hearing aids.
- The amount of wax build-up in the ear (excessive amounts of wax or moisture may prevent use of in-the-ear hearing aids).
- Ears that require drainage may not be able to use certain hearing aid models.
Wearing a hearing aid:
Once the hearing aids have been fitted for the ears, your child should begin to gradually wear the hearing aid. Because hearing aids do not restore normal hearing, it may take time to get used to the different sounds transmitted by the device. The American Academy of Otolaryngology recommends the following when beginning to wear hearing aids:
- Be patient and give your child time to get used to the hearing aid and the sound it produces.
- Start in quiet surroundings and gradually build up to noisier environments.
- Experiment where and when the hearing aid works best for your child.
- Keep a record of any questions and concerns you have, and bring those to your child's follow-up examination.
Taking care of hearing aids:
Hearing aids need to be kept dry. Methods for cleaning hearing aids vary depending on the style and shape. Other tips for taking care of hearing aids include the following:
- Keep the hearing aids away from heat.
- Batteries should be replaced on a regular basis.
- Avoid the use of hairspray and other hair products when the hearing aid is in place.
- Considerations when purchasing a hearing aid:
A medical examination is required before purchasing a hearing aid. Hearing aids can be purchased from an otolaryngologist (a physician who specializes in disorders of the ear, nose, throat and related structures of the head and neck), an audiologist (a specialist who can evaluate and manage hearing and balance problems) or an independent company. Styles and prices vary greatly. The National Institute on Deafness and other Communication Disorders recommends asking the following questions when buying hearing aids:
- Can the hearing loss be improved with medical or surgical interventions?
- Which design will work best for my child's type of hearing loss?
- May my child "test" the hearing aids for a certain period of time?
- How much do hearing aids cost?
- Do the hearing aids have a warranty and does it cover maintenance and repairs?
- Can my child's audiologist or otolaryngologist make adjustments and repairs?
- Can any other assistive technological devices be used with the hearing aids?
Hearing aids typically need to be replaced after about five years. New, programmable and digital hearing aids, that can be adjusted as the level of hearing changes, may reduce the need for replacement.

Nublu is a unique club and record label from the cultural epicenter of New York City, the East Village. There are three entities of the Nublu universe, a live music venue, a record label, and a recently launched Nublu Jazz Festival which has premiered in NYC, Sao Paul and Istanbul.
The venue was birthed first in 2002. It started out as a place for like-minded musicians and artists to gather and simply play music together, recalling New York in its creative heyday of the 70's and 80's. Nublu has come a long way since its humble beginnings. The club has attracted the admiration of many people and has been touted everywhere from the New York Times to Paper magazine. It is no surprise to come across Lou Reed at the bar, Kevin Spacey or Jorge Ben hanging out, or Norah Jones dancing to Forro. Last year, Jovanotti, the Italian superstar, chose Nublu as the place for his residency. The venue was filled to over capacity for eight straight weeks. Legendary artists like, Gilberto Gil and David Byrne have also done secret shows, and Moby said he realized that he "had more fun DJ'ing records for 75 people at Nublu than going on tour and performing in front of 10,000 people a night" XLR8R Magazine (2008). The list goes on and on.
The second arm of Nublu is the record label, which started in 2005 as a necessary outlet to release the music coming out of the club. The label now boasts a catalogue of over 50 releases, from music ranging from Brazilian acts 3 Na Massa, Otto and Forro in The Dark, to the jazz stylings of I Led 3 Lives and Nublu Orchestra, the indie pop of Hess is More and Wax Poetic. Between all of its entities, Nublu has established itself as a weighty curator and tastemaker in the independent music scene. There is no one sound to Nublu, just a vibe and a great selection. Nublu owner Ilhan Ersahin says it best, "We're just playing music."

Rachel (Hebrew: רָחֵל, Modern Rakhél, Tiberian Rāḥēl) (Arabic: راحيل) was the favorite of Biblical patriarch Jacob's two wives as well as the mother of Joseph and Benjamin, two of the twelve progenitors of the tribes of Israel. The name "Rachel" is from an unused root meaning: "to journey as a ewe that is a good traveller." Rachel was the daughter of Laban and the younger sister of Leah, Jacob's first wife. Rachel was a niece of Rebekah (Jacob's mother), Laban being Rebekah's brother, making Jacob her first cousin.
Rachel is first mentioned in the Hebrew Bible in Genesis 29 when Jacob happens upon her as she is about to water her father's flock. She was the second daughter of Laban, Rebekah's brother. Jacob had traveled a great distance to find Laban. Rebekah had sent him there to be safe from his furious twin brother, Esau.
During Jacob's stay, Jacob fell in love with Rachel and agreed to work seven years for Laban in return for her hand in marriage. On the night of the wedding, the bride was veiled and Jacob did not notice that Leah, Rachel's older sister, had been substituted for Rachel. Whereas "Rachel was lovely in form and beautiful," "Leah had tender eyes". Later Jacob confronted Laban, who excused his own deception by insisting that the older sister should marry first. He assured Jacob that after his wedding week was finished, he could take Rachel as a wife as well, and work another seven years as payment for her. When God "saw that Leah was unloved, he opened her womb", (Gen 29:31) and she gave birth to four sons.
Rachel Bluwstein Sela (September 20 (Julian calendar), 1890 – April 16, 1931) was a Hebrew-language poet who immigrated to Palestine in 1909. She is known by her first name, Rachel, (Hebrew: רחל) or as Rachel the Poetess (Hebrew: רחל המשוררת).
Rachel was born in Saratov in Imperial Russia on September 20, 1890, the eleventh daughter of Isser-Leib and Sophia Bluwstein, and granddaughter of the rabbi of the Jewish community in Kiev. During her childhood, her family moved to Poltava, Ukraine, where she attended a Russian-speaking Jewish school and, later, a secular high school. She began writing poetry at the age of 15. When she was 17, she moved to Kiev and began studying painting.
At the age of 19, Rachel visited Palestine with her sister en route to Italy, where they were planning to study art and philosophy. They decided to stay on as Zionist pioneers, learning Hebrew by listening to children's chatter in kindergartens. They settled in Rehovot and worked in the orchards. Later, Rachel moved to Kvutzat Kinneret on the shores of the Sea of Galilee, where she studied and worked in a women's agricultural school. At Kinneret, she met Zionist leader A. D. Gordon who was to be a great influence on her life, and to whom she dedicated her first Hebrew poem. During this time, she also met and had a romantic relationship with Zalman Rubashov—the object of many of her love poems —who later became known as Zalman Shazar and was the third president of Israel.
Rachel, born in Cavaillon, Vaucluse, is a French singer best known in Europe for representing France in the Eurovision Song Contest 1964.
She entered a singing competition organised by Mireille Hartuch who had invited Rachel to her 'Petit Conservatoire'.
She went on to sign a contract with the Barclay Records label, and released her first (45 rmp) recording entitled Les Amants Blessés in 1963.
In 1964, she represented France in the Eurovision Song Contest in Copenhagen with her entry called "Le Chant de Mallory", which was her greatest hit. She did not win, but scored 14 points and finished in fourth place.

I hadn't done a holiday wish list in years, before starting up again a few years ago at the request of my significant other's mom. Despite our sharing a common interest (loving to cook), since she rarely comes to see us in the City, she thus doesn't know what books and tools I have or do not. I get the impression it allows her to make some more informed gift choices.
I keep the Amazon wish list widget on my bookmarks bar so I can add things from anywhere I am on the web. That way I can tag adorable patterns on etsy or a Malificent pop vinyl doll on a geek news site. But somehow, every year, I end up with a stack of cookbooks in my list. Even though I have long been out of room for even 1 cookbook more on my shelves.
Here are the cookbooks that made my list this year:
- Everyday Food made the list because of how often I make recipes from the magazine's pages.I love that on a whole, their recipes are always relatively quick and easy, yet do not rely on canned or processed food shortcuts to achieve the speed-to-table.
- Both Bi-Rite and Cooking My Way Back Home are San Franciscan-authored, and focus on taking advantage of all the amazing seasonal produce and handcrafted food stuffs available to us in the San Francisco Bay Area. I have a feeling these two would give me a ton of new ideas for using up my Farmers' Market bounty.
- And finally, Mozza. This one made the list due to my admiration of La Brea Bakery founder Nancy Silverton, and the fact that other than my well-worn Marcella Hazan paperbacks, I actually don't have a real Italian cookbook.
What's on your wish list this year?

As the COVID-19 vaccine makes its way across the country and into the hands of those who need it most, many nursing homes and senior communities are anxiously waiting as they are the most vulnerable.
"I'm a true Okie from Muskogee, Oklahoma," says 80-year-old Donna.
After 46 years, she and her 83-year-old husband Art made the decision to leave the countryside and move into a senior community. They chose one of the 26 Arrow Senior Living communities that are housed around the Midwest. Things were great until the pandemic hit.
"Since we live on the independent side, we do our own things. Until this COVID hit, we came and went as we wanted to,"she said.
Their way of living is now completely different. No visits with their three sons. No extracurricular activities. They're diligent about masks and about the proper public health measures to prevent the virus.
"It's a big concern, we know this is a killer," Donna said. "Some get a light case and some are asymptomatic and you never who's going to get the serious case."
Which is why she's anxiously waiting for the vaccine. She remembers when the polio vaccine came out and said it was wonderful.
"I don't remember people questioning it, being afraid of having it so much then as some people today but I don't know why they'd even question it with the horrible pandemic we've been having," Donna said.
Stephanie Harris, CEO of Arrow Senior Living said "absolutely" when asked if she would get the vaccine. Harris says her employees will get it too. In all, nearly 4,000 people between residents and staff will need to be vaccinated.
"We have been blown away at how overwhelming the response has been by our resident group, over 90% of our residents, when we surveyed them, said 'yes' to vaccination," says Harris.
They're not first in line, but they're not far off. They have clinics scheduled for late December, and they're excited.
"I'm tired of being cooped up and taking extraordinary precautions to ensure that I could be here in this seat to support our larger operation and I want to be able to get on with some sense of normal," Harris said.
Harris added this recent surge has been brutal and it's taking an emotional toll on everyone.
Holiday gatherings have been canceled, important events missed during a time when grandparents should be spending with grandkids. It's caused Arrow Senior Living to take extraordinary precautions, deploying things like mask detection technology to determine whether face coverings are being utilized. There's not one community in their network that hasn't been touched by COVID-19.
"This is going to be a strange Christmas, we're accepting it," Donna said. "We have three sons but they're all doing their thing. They didn't feel like it was safe to travel and we'll be having Christmas here."

Magnus Carlsen Wins Game Nine of FIDE World Championship Match
The score has become 6-3 in the world champion's favour.
Game nine of the Carlsen - Nepomniachtchi World Championship match finished on Tuesday, December 7, at the World Expo 2020 in Dubai. The young Indian talent Rameshbabu Praggnanandhaa made the symbolic first move for the Russian grandmaster.
Ian Nepomniachtchi changed his opening serve in favor of 1.с4. The opponents opted for a rare line of the English opening, in which White managed to gain a slight spatial advantage. Magnus Carlsen resorted to his favorite trick of temporarily sacrificing a pawn for the initiative in search of equalising. Unfortunately, White committed a blunder in a quite promising position; as a result, his bishop walked into a trap. Carlsen scored yet another victory on move 39.
The match score has become 6-3 in the world champion's favor. Game ten is scheduled on Wednesday, December 8, with Magnus Carlsen playing the white pieces.

New study finds that pets promote social skills and self-esteem in children
Growing up with a pet can bring social, emotional and educational benefit to children and adolescents according to a newly published study. Youngsters with pets tend to have greater self-esteem, less loneliness, and enhanced social skills. This research adds strength to claims that household pets can help support healthy child development.
"Anyone that has grown up with, and loved a family pet intrinsically feels the value of their companionship," says Dr Carri Westgarth, project leader. "The scientific evidence investigating the benefits to children and adolescent development looks promising. We dug deep into that evidence to understand which potential benefits were most strongly supported. Ultimately, this will enable us to know more about how pets provide young people with emotional, educational and social support."
The University of Liverpool Study, published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health was funded by the WALTHAM Centre for Pet Nutrition, part of Mars Petcare and led by Dr Carri Westgarth, Institute of Infection and Global Health. Researchers carried out an in-depth review and quality evaluation of studies investigating the effects of pet ownership on emotional, educational or behavioural development in children and adolescents.
"Critical ages for the impact of pet ownership on self-esteem, appear to be greatest for children under 6, and preadolescents and adolescents over 10. Generally dogs and cats are deemed to be the best providers of social support, perhaps due to a higher level of interaction and reciprocation in comparison to other pets," says Rebecca Purewal, lead author. "In both western and non-western cultures, pets may act as a form of psychological support, helping youths feel good about themselves and enabling a positive self-image."
"The patterns among sub-populations and age groups suggests that companion animals have the potential to promote healthy child and adolescent development," says WALTHAM researcher Nancy Gee, a co-author of the study. "This is an exciting field of study and there is still much to learn about the processes through which pet ownership may impact healthy child development."
University of Liverpool
The University of Liverpool is one of the UK's leading research institutions with 81% of research rated world leading or internationally excellent. Liverpool is ranked in the top 1% of higher education institutions worldwide and is a member of the Russell Group.

The World Health Organization has just weighed in on how the vaccine made by AstraZeneca and Oxford University should be used in places with new variants of the coronavirus. That vaccine ran into some trouble this past weekend when a small study out of South Africa showed it wasn't very effective against the new dominant strain of the virus there. Joining us now, NPR's global health correspondent Jason Beaubien to talk more about this. Hi, Jason.
JASON BEAUBIEN, BYLINE: Hey, Rachel.
MARTIN: The world's been waiting on WHO authorization of this very important vaccine. What did they say today?
BEAUBIEN: Yeah, today, this was not yet the full authorization. They were offering interim guidance, but it was very important. And basically, they're saying, yes, the AstraZeneca vaccine can still be used. And they're basically saying that this study showed that there was reduced efficacy on this dominant strain that has started to be spreading in South Africa, but even so - the limited evidence, almost no evidence that it was preventing severe disease. So based on what they're seeing, they're saying that countries, including South Africa, should push forward with using this vaccine. Here's Katherine O'Brien. She's the head of immunization at the WHO.
KATHERINE O'BRIEN: The advice from SAGE and taken on board now by WHO is to proceed with the vaccine even in the setting of variants.
BEAUBIEN: And that was the key takeaway. Keep proceeding with these vaccines, even where we're seeing these new variants popping up.
MARTIN: So, I mean, given that, how do they justify going ahead?
BEAUBIEN: Well, they say that that study was a small study. And it - that's - they didn't answer the question about, you know, are old people protected by this vaccine or not. And they believe that the AstraZeneca vaccine, even in what looks like, you know, the worst place in the world right now in terms of variants, South Africa, it still offers some protection, and it hopefully will keep older people from getting really sick. And that's why they're saying they should keep moving forward with it until there's more evidence.
MARTIN: So let's remind listeners this vaccine is not on the list of vaccines slated for use in the U.S., right?
BEAUBIEN: Right. Yeah, that's correct.
MARTIN: But it's still...
BEAUBIEN: At least not yet - not yet.
MARTIN: Right, not yet. But it's still very important to much of the world.
BEAUBIEN: Absolutely. It is by far the most significant vaccine in terms of doses that are expected to be delivered this year. There are purchase orders for more than 2 million (ph) doses of this vaccine, the AstraZeneca-Oxford vaccine. The next leading manufacturer globally is Pfizer, and their commitments are about half of that, roughly a billion (ph) doses. And the majority of AstraZeneca's vaccines are slated to go to low- and middle-income countries.
The WHO's chief scientist, Soumya Swaminathan, she warned front-line workers and people who are at risk of getting COVID, don't shop around. She said, don't wait for the perfect vaccine.
MARTIN: So...
SOUMYA SWAMINATHAN: The vaccine now is much better than waiting for something potentially that may come down the road after six months or a year. So anything that's been approved by WHO that's available in the country, please do take it.
BEAUBIEN: So there's really just a sense of urgency. She's saying if you're getting offered a vaccine, go for it. Use them while they still work.
MARTIN: What happens at this point?
BEAUBIEN: So right now, we're waiting on the WHO to actually offer emergency use listing, which we're expecting that to come in the next couple of weeks.
MARTIN: All right. NPR's Jason Beaubien, thank you. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Green tea has long been touted as one of the healthiest drinks on the planet. It was first steeped thousands of years ago, and ever since, it's been used for both medicinal purposes and for its good taste.
But you might be wondering – how can something like a tea leaf really be that good for you?
3 Reasons You Should Be Drinking Green Tea
It's no secret that green tea benefits the body. It's chock-full of antioxidants, it's said to lower cholesterol, and this green goodness can soothe an upset stomach. There are a host of other pluses as well!
Here are three benefits that might surprise you about green tea:
- Green tea may improve your brain function. This is, in part, due to the caffeine levels. While green tea contains less caffeine than a cup of coffee, it has enough in it to give you a boost without the jittery edge. Caffeine is known to improve mood, reaction time, and memory. Green tea also has the amino acid L-theanine, which can lower anxiety and increase dopamine (the feel-good hormone).
- Green tea can bust bad breath. Green tea contains a rich amount of catechins, which are compounds that benefit your oral care. The catechins in green tea can slow down the growth of oral bacteria and reduce your risk of having bad breath. So, instead of popping a mouthful of Tic Tacs before your next date, reach for a cup of green tea instead.
- Green tea can relieve inflammation. Experts now believe that inflammation is at the root of most chronic diseases. Green tea is particularly rich in polyphenols, which help relieve that inflammation. Some inflammation-driven chronic diseases that green tea can help with include arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease.
So, what happens if you don't like the taste of green tea?
Creative Ways to Make Green Tea Tasty
If you're not a fan of the unique flavor of green tea, it's okay! For some, it can come across as a little bitter. But don't give up on this miracle tea just yet. If you're one who struggles with the bitterness, here are a couple of workarounds to still get you those benefits:
Choose a different type. Did you know that there are seven kinds of green tea? If you don't like one variety, give another a whirl. For example, Sencha green tea is the most common and well-known green tea. But if it tastes too bitter, try Hojicha. It's a variety that's known for its savory aroma and is gentle enough for those sensitive to caffeine.
Try flavored green teas. Green tea is also sold with added fruits and flowers, which help mask the bitterness. So, if green tea is too much for your taste buds, try out mango peach green tea or strawberry pineapple green tea.
Mix it in other foods. If you're not a big green tea drinker, you can still get the health benefits in other ways. Try adding in a cup of brewed green tea or a spoonful of matcha powder to your morning smoothie.
There's a reason green tea has been around for millennia. And it seems that the more you drink, the more your health can benefit. With all the different ways you can consume it, it becomes simply too good to pass up. So, where you can, consider adding green tea to your daily health routine. And if you're struggling with other inflammatory symptoms that you need some help with, make an appointment to come on in and see us!

Everywhere you look in the media, the debate of a possible strike on Syria dominates the headlines. What happened to the other major issues that Congress was supposed to be concerned with this session?
Federal Budget & Debt Ceiling:
- Without a doubt the most pressing issues…
- The new fiscal year begins on October 1st, and Congress doesn't seem close to reaching a deal on the budget. One reason may be that the previous deal, reached on January 1st of this year, raised taxes among Americans earning over $450,000 per year while maintaining benefits for 2 million long-term unemployed. Many Republicans will not support another deal that raises taxes, either because they are principled advocates of limited government—like Senators Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, and Representatives Thomas Massie and Justin Amash, or they know their constituents would not accept another tax increase. Therefore, it is unlikely that any budget deal that raises taxes could get through the GOP-controlled House, unless John Boehner was willing to once again pass a deal with a majority of Democrat votes. He is unlikely to do that, as that could put his speakership in jeopardy. Of course, many Republicans remain determined to dismantle ObamaCare by refusing to support any Continuing Resolution or debt ceiling deal that funds ObamaCare.
- Meanwhile, as Treasury Secretary Jack Lew announced a couple weeks ago, the government will reach the $16.7 trillion debt ceiling in the middle of October, a month or two before expected. If a deal is not reached, the U.S.' credit rating could once again be downgraded, which could increase the burden of financing the debt—a burden ultimately borne by the American people.
- The upcoming fiscal showdown should be the top talking point for all members of Congress, but the Syrian conflict has overshadowed these key issues. The civil war that is going on in Syria is without a doubt deplorable and sad, but the fact that it contains little to no U.S. national interest should make our own financial obligations top priority. In fact, if the U.S. is foolish enough to go to war in Syria, expect President Obama and his big-spending allies to use that as a justification for a budget deal that increases spending.
NSA Reform:
- In a joint press conference with the Swedish prime minister last week, President Obama admitted for the first time that there are "legitimate questions" about the NSA. Obama claimed that, "There are a lot of checks and balances in place designed to avoid a surveillance state." However, many Americans are not convinced, and new reports that the National Security Agency has acquired the tools to crack privacy codes on smartphones are not helping the agency's cause. It is clear that something must be done to reform specific pieces of the Patriot Act (and the NDAA) in order to protect American's civil liberties. There seems to be little to no chance of that happening in the near future.
With these issues all deserving attention, when will Congress find the time to pass decisive legislation? The easy answer is that they won't, but you should expect another budget deal to be proposed that increases the spending capabilities of an already overgrown federal government.

(Si vous lisez l'anglais, vous avez pas à deviner.)
On October 23, 2008 Radio Canada's "Les Grands Reportages" aired Peace, Propaganda and the Promised Land. This is an excellent documentary which exposes the disconnect between what is taking place on the ground in Palestine and the American media's reporting of these events. It can be viewed on google videos.A systematic pressure campaign was organized against Radio-Canada for airing this documentary and resulted in an investigation by the Ombudsman. In her report, it is clear that the Ombudsman has adopted all the pro-occupation arguments of the complainants. She comes to the conclusion that the documentary should never have been aired. Read Radio-Canada Ombudsman's report.
Read the Ombudsmans cave-in to Zionists like the Quebec-Isr-el Committee.
I received 156 complaints about this broadcast. Most of those filing complaints, who were in various countries, did so in response to an appeal by HonestReporting Canada, a pro-Israel media watchdog that encouraged visitors to its website to send complaints to my officeOh dear! The Zionist J-ws launch a campaign.
The documentary Paix, propagande et Terre promise meets these criteria. The film claims, without proving it, that the government of Israel controls U.S. print and electronic media. In order to illustrate this argument, the film uses excerpts from television newscasts that fail to mention the fact that the Palestinian territories are occupied by Israel. This omission, the choice of words, and the routine absence of context reinforce false perceptions among the U.S. public, according to the film. There is no fairness, balance, or nuance here: this pro-Palestinian documentary presents one point of view, one side of the coin. All those interviewed—academics, Israeli and Palestinian activists, media critics and journalists—agree with this perspective.What is not mentioned is that 100% of the reporting on the CBC is pro-Isr-el, ever since the CJC J-w Rabbinovitch was head of CBC. But careers in Canada are dependent upon serving the J-w, so the Ombudsman caved for her self-interest.

JianShui Purple Pottery
ianshui purple pottery, Yixing Pottery, Sichuan Rongchang Pottery, and Guangxi Qinzhou Pottery were named "China's Four Famous Pottery". Pottery originated in Central China and after 1,000 years Jianshui became known for its pottery. Becoming a part of cultural heritage, Jianshui purple pottery has had its ups and downs but has developed into a relevant article. It has been said; "It is hard as iron, glossy as water, bright as mirror and when you knock on it, the sound is like knocking on bronze and stone tablets." All of these admirable features helped to establish its reputation.
Jianshui has a fairly long pottery-producing history, and it is an important part of China ceramic. The products are sold to inside and outside the province and Southeast Asia, it has been broadly influencing China and even the whole world. It also regarded as a part of our country's "national Porcelain". Since Qing Dynasty, purple pottery was developed by Jianshui craftsmen, which soon became popular across Chinese and foreign. Depending on its special and unique calligraphic art style, it is unparalleled in the world. Jianshui purple pottery brings calligraphy, paintings, carving, inlaying, kilning, and polishing together. It is absolutely a wonderful art form of Chinese folk art.
Producing artistic pottery takes a combination of high quality materials and gorgeous techniques, each complementary and indispensable to each other. Jianshui pottery is just the kind of high quality pottery to come from such a perfect combination. Around the Wanyao Village in the suburb of the town of Jianshui, the abundant clay contained in the surrounding area is of excellent quality, and is suitable for making high-grade pottery, as it is fine and glossy and has good viscosity. Families of pottery craftsmen have been making Jianshui pottery for generations. Various Jianshui potteries are made with five-color clay through delicate processes like body blank, painting, carving, scraping, clinkering, and polishing. They are beautifully shaped with elegant and antique patterns, and are hard and solid, as well as fine and glossy. The brightly colored surface is shiny and, when you knock on it, the sound is like knocking on bronze and stone tablets. All of these features demonstrate the strong ancient ethnic flavor of China.
Among various Jianshui pottery, the white-pattern-bedded-in-black style is especially precious--beautiful white flowers bedded in the shiny black surface of the pottery renders a sharp but harmonious color contrast that makes the pottery distinctive in style and difficult to let go of once you have obtained an article.
Jianshui pottery boasts a wide variety of articles, including jars, kettles, basins, tea sets, vases, boilers and others. Jianshui pottery is acid- and damp-proof, and it holds heat yet is permeable by air. With Jianhiu pottery, tea is preserved for a long time in the teapot, flowers last long in the vases and food remains fresher longer when stored in Jianshui pottery dishware. Among all of these, the Jianshui pottery boiler is the most famous. Food boiled using a Jianshui pottery boiler and water vapor is especially delicious, and the nutrition is retained. The original version of the famous Yunnan dish, "Boiled Chicken with Panax Notoginseng," is only cooked in a Jianshui pottery boiler.
According to scientific analysis, the raw material of purple-clay products contains many mineral components like SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3, MgO, CaO, these minerals are so good for healthy and has very good air-conductivity. The reason for the surface of purple-clay products to give out purple light is that the raw material of purple-clay products can reduce the reflection of light.

My Christmas gift to my mom this year was a pair of tickets to The Nutcracker Ballet, so last night, we headed to downtown Houston for the performance. Going to ballets with my mom is so special to me–ballet was my life for years, and she was always my number one supporter, so we get equally excited for our favorite numbers! For today's inspiration board, I drew inspiration from The Nutcracker with festive evergreen, Land of Sweets-inspired shades of pink, and plenty of theater-reminiscent elegance.

Tips for Landing the Nursing Job You Want
Some nurses are finding it more challenging than ever before to land the job they want. Until recently, opportunities were plentiful in almost every nursing specialty and even nurse graduates were virtually guaranteed a job wherever they pleased, straight out of nursing school.
Faced with dwindling incomes, shrinking retirement plans or unemployed spouses, some nurses have been forced out of retirement, while others have delayed their retirement, picked up extra shifts or switched from full-time to part-time work to make extra money. Although the demand for nurses has not gone away, these recent changes have resulted in fiercer competition for the jobs that are available.
The good news, however, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, is that the current hiring trends are only temporary. The bureau's latest projections include nursing in its list of the fastest growing jobs.
In the meantime, what should nurses do to boost their chance of finding the job they want?
7 Tips on How to Land a Nursing Job
"Create a professional résumé that is tailored to the job," advised Cara Heilmann, recruitment director at health care staffing agency, AMN Healthcare. Heilmann and her team work with a variety of hospitals and other health care providers to handle the entire recruitment process on their behalf. "Your résumé is your most important marketing piece and should highlight your talents and skills in the best possible light. Tailor the résumé to the job and remove all references to items that do not highlight a skill as it relates to the job."
After your résumé has been noticed, health care recruiters point out that nurses should pay careful attention to how they present themselves during the interview process.
Maria-Jean Caterinicchio, RN, MS, director of workforce development for Orange County Memorial Care University and board member of the Association of California Nurse Leaders (ACNL), said that she concentrates on personality, attitude and talent when hiring nurses.
"We expect our new nurses to have the basic fundamental nursing knowledge and we are also looking for compassion, a sense of teamwork, accountability and communication," Caterinicchio explained. "We look for an attitude of collaboration and communication."
Thorough preparation is also a key to success.
"When you are lucky enough to land an interview, take the time to learn about the facility, the culture, the services offered and anything that's unique about the employer," said AMN recruiter Ryan Weeden. "Have some questions ready that show your interest. Employers are not going to hire you just because you show up. These days they want to spend their money wisely and find that perfect fit."
"With every great job, there are great candidates," Weeden continued. "If you are serious about landing a particular job, take the time to learn how to interview successfully. Know what to wear. Don't show up wearing scrubs, even if the manager is wearing them. Prepare and practice your answers to various questions about yourself, your experience, your career goals and your skills. Jobs are won and lost during the interview. It's important to be yourself but don't offer too much personal information. And, always arrive at the interview ahead of schedule."
Heilmann agrees that the interview process is the most important step in your quest to secure the job you want.
"Remember that, for the most part, the employer is looking for a clinically solid RN with a pleasant demeanor," she noted. "Be prepared to talk about your clinical experience in a way that highlights your skills and always stay positive. Do not allow the conversation to turn negative and don't complain about any past experiences."
Nurse recruiters also stress the importance of being flexible and open-minded in today's challenging job market.
"Don't limit yourself to only certain shifts or areas," advised AMN recruiter Alexandra Royce. "Many nurses limit themselves to a day shift and immediately disqualify themselves for all of the night shift jobs that are out there. Also, if your area is not hiring, perhaps you can look into the possibility of relocating for a few years to an area that has a higher need for nurses, where you can build your résumé and expand your experience and skill set."
Heilmann believes that it's important to not focus on just one aspect of an employment package.
"You need to consider the entire package and not become fixated on one thing or another," she said. "I've seen RNs get hung up on the compensation and in doing so, they forego an amazing opportunity to work at a world-class facility for a wonderful boss."
Recruiter Shannon Flinn, who helps AMN's clients fill a variety of positions, advises nurse applicants to hone their skills in a chosen specialty to improve their chances of finding employment.
"Get all certifications possible in your field, stay in a specialty for awhile and don't 'unit hop,'" she said. "The more knowledgeable you are in one specialty right now, the better, especially in the critical care and home health fields."
For RNs who are considering travel nursing, Pat Hayden-Allen, senior recruiter at leading travel nurse staffing agency AMN Healthcare, offers sound advice.
"If you are flexible with location, pay and shifts, there are loads of opportunities right now," she explained. "Another tip for travel nursing success is to apply for a few licenses to make yourself more marketable. Right now, in this current market, hospitals are only giving travel nurse companies a two- to three-week lead time, which means that nurses need to have their references and paperwork ready to land the best jobs."

Miami Beach police officer Kenneth MacLeod chats with Albert Valdes: "I'll throw your ass in jail. You want to be a sarcastic bitch, I'll be f**king a bigger bitch." |
You can add Miami Beach police officer Kenneth MacLeod to the growing list of cops who have been caught on camera acting like assholes.
Miami New Times managing editor Tim Elfrink posted a video this morning of MacLeod launching into a profanity-laced tirade after a young man he'd ticketed for a license plate infraction said "God bless you."
The video was uploaded to YouTube two days ago by Albert Valdes...and it's quickly going viral.
Now, MacLeod is being investigated by the Miami Beach police department's Internal Affairs unit, according to a police spokesperson.
Here's a partial transcript from the video of MacLeod's interaction with Valdes courtesy of the Photography is not a Crime blog:
"Have a good day. Get out of my face before I decide that this may not be the best judgement that I've made," MacLeod says.
"You have a great day, too, sir," Valdes responds.
"Trust me, I will," the cop responds.
"God bless you," Valdes says.
"You know what?" MacLeod responds, clearly annoyed. "I'll throw your ass in jail. You want to be a sarcastic bitch, I'll be f**king a bigger bitch."
They stare each other down for a couple of seconds with Macleod holding his handcuffs before he continues laying into him.
On a personal note, 6 or 7 years ago I witnessed first hand, one of MacLeod's tirades.
I was with a group of 4 or 5 paparazzi who were parked in a grassy area at the east end of the Julia Tuttle Causeway. After about 10 minutes of taking pictures of some houses across the bay, MacLeod suddenly appeared, rolling up in his police car, getting out and asking us what we were doing.
After we told him we were taking pictures, he immediately started berating us in much the same manner and tone as you see in the video above, ending his tirade with something like "You f**king paparazzi make me sick," or words to that effect.
MacLeod, a K-9 officer who joined the department in 1990, is described by one colleague as a "very good street cop."
MacLeod received his department's Medal of Valor in Feb. 1992, a month after being shot and seriously wounded in a shootout.
From the Miami Herald, Feb. 6, 1992:
A tearful Kenneth MacLeod , the 24-year-old Miami Beach police officer seriously wounded in a Jan. 3 shootout, was greeted with a standing ovation in the City Commission chambers Wednesday after he was presented with the Medal of Valor.
"If you realize that just four weeks ago this man was shot four times with a .45 pistol, I think he's in remarkable condition," said Police Chief Phillip Huber, who described MacLeod as "one of the bravest men I know."
The rookie officer was working an off-duty assignment at the intersection of Collins Avenue and 31st Street when he approached a motorcyclist who had been acting suspiciously, Huber said.
The motorcyclist pulled a handgun and quickly fired four shots, shattering bones in the officer's left arm, right leg and lower back, police said. The fourth bullet struck MacLeod 's bulletproof vest.
The officer managed to pull his own handgun and squeeze off 16 shots, disabling the suspect, identified as Morgan Russell, 25, of Minnesota.
Three bystanders who quickly moved to assist MacLeod after the shooting were also honored at Wednesday's meeting: Kevin McFarland and George Dukes, who subdued the suspect and handcuffed him, and Steve Alvarez, who grabbed the suspect's gun.
"There is not a police officer in the world who could hope to perform more admirably," Huber said.
MacLeod 's voice broke as he answered all the praise. "I'd just like to thank everyone on the Police Department, the commission, Fire-Rescue and the three people who came and helped me . . . that's all."

Release Date: 6/4/2021
From the moment she began writing her new album, Japanese Breakfast's Michelle Zauner knew that she wanted to call it Jubilee. After all, a jubilee is a celebration of the passage of time-a festival to usher in the hope of a new era in brilliant technicolor. Zauner's first two albums garnered acclaim for the way they grappled with anguish; Psychopomp was written as her mother underwent cancer treatment, while Soft Sounds From Another Planet took the grief she held from her mother's death and used it as a conduit to explore the cosmos. Now, at the start of a new decade, Japanese Breakfast is ready to fight for happiness, an all-too-scarce resource in our seemingly crumbling world. Jubilee finds Michelle Zauner embracing ambition and, with it, her boldest ideas and songs yet. Inspired by records like Bjork's Homogenic, Zauner delivers bigness throughout - big ideas, big textures, colors, sounds and feelings. At a time when virtually everything feels extreme, Jubilee sets it's sights on maximal joy, imagination, and exhilaration. It is, in Michelle Zauner's words, "a record about fighting to feel. I wanted to re-experience the pure, unadulterated joy of creation... The songs are about recalling the optimism of youth and applying it to adulthood. They're about making difficult choices, fighting ignominious impulses and honoring commitments, confronting the constant struggle we have with ourselves to be better people." Throughout Jubilee, Zauner pours her own life into the universe of each song to tell real stories, and allowing those universes, in turn, to fill in the details. Joy, change, evolution-these things take real time, and real effort. And Japanese Breakfast is here for it.
