Not Such a Big Deal After All
If you have followed this blog, the last article we published on trans fats, was aimed at demystifying cholesterol and the totally impossible tongue twisters that are a part of discussions on the subject. Those nasty LDLs (low-density lipoprotein), the triglycerides and the gentlemen HDLs (high-density lipoprotein). Demystification apart, at a very practical level, I'm sure that you're asking yourself, "Fair enough, but what is the bottom line at the end of the day? How does one go about reducing total cholesterol and LDL levels; and increasing HDL?"
If you have an abnormal "lipid profile" as it is technically called, your first step is to visit a doctor and decide whether you need medication or not. Once you are in safe medical hands, make sure that you get yourself tested regularly. Next on the to do list are making specific lifestyle changes that will enable you to stop, or at least reduce, your medication levels over the long run.
So what are these lifestyle changes?
Well it has to start with your diet right? So here we go. With the advent of affluence, and restaurants vying for your loyalty, the concept of portion control has been totally messed up. But wait a moment, what is portion control? Sounds like some form of educational syllabus! Well, portion control is not a big deal really, it's just a way to define the quantity of a certain food that a person should eat. A healthy portion of anything is a handful of it. Say, a piece of meat or fish, the size of your palm, is a healthy measure. A cup of rice, again needs to be a handful of cooked rice, and so on. Once you control the quantities you are eating, you are well on your way to good health.
Next we need to work on your diet content. First on the list is fiber, a seriously good guy who needs to be as widely incorporated in your diet as possible. Sources of fiber are raw vegetables, fruit and whole grain cereal that is processed as little as possible. There are two types of fiber, soluble and insoluble. They play a huge role in appetite control; since they fill you up, ensuring that you are not hungry for the unhealthy stuff anymore. Fiber is also the broom of the body, ridding it of toxins. Fiber even binds with fat molecules and removes them from the system.
Next up is fish. Fatty fish, such as salmon, trout and sardines; are a great source of Omega 3 acids. Omega 3 acids are a way wonderful to lower LDL and increase HDL. Grilled fish twice a week is a great idea. If you are vegetarian, flax seeds, sunflower seeds and nuts are also great sources of Omega 3. On the other hand, please remember the handful rule here. These nuts are fairly calorie intensive, and like we already know, calories not used by the body get stored as fat in one of its forms, something that needs to be avoided at all costs!!
You already know that trans fats are right up there with Dracula on the bad guys list. Omega 3 fatty acids, and unsaturated fats, such as those found in olive, sunflower or canola oil are part of the hero team. They can actually help you in the struggle to achieve a normal lipid profile. The only caveat is that any form of fat contributes nine calories per gram, and so even a small quantity can increase your total calorie intake very quickly. Always make sure that you read the food label before you buy a product that has fat, even if it says it is a zero cholesterol product. If the ingredient list has saturated or trans fats, drop it like a hot brick!
Next we come to exercise. Aerobic activities like running, walking and dancing; as well as strength training, are vital to improve your lipid profile. The exercise will help you burn fat, sleep better and reduce stress. All of which will go a long way in normalizing your lipid profile. In fact exercise is the key factor for increasing HDL levels. One hour of daily exercise, will go a long way towards keeping the good H guys alive and kicking in your system. Here we go back to the caution factor. Please get yourself medically cleared for exercise before you start, and take it nice and slow to start with. A gentle walk is a great way to begin. Increase the pace and duration steadily. Aim for a minimum of one hour's exercise every day, and stay with it consistently for the rest of your life.
In the end, it always comes back to the same things – a healthy diet, daily exercise and seven to eight sleep hours every day. It's also important to make a conscious effort to control stress. Once you know what it takes, it's not such a big deal after all.

Eat Right When You Eat Out – Indian Chinese
It's easy to hand out advice on living the right lifestyle but what about following up on it. With this in mind I convinced my husband to make a simple change, eating right while eating out. Given our sedentary and highly stressful lifestyles, most of us take a break by going out to eat, either on the weekends or as a mid-week break. In our family, we occasionally tend to do both. We also can't afford to eat at the best restaurants on every outing, where the chef is willing to make food to suit our specific requirements.
So how do you eat right when you eat out?
That is the question we asked ourselves and started our own local project. This series will track our efforts to eat right, given the existing and easily available dining out options in our city. Every post will give you an idea of the dishes we ordered, as well as, an idea of how tasty, or not, our meal was. We are not experts on nutrition or dietitians by profession, so there will be no calorie counting or diet advice. Just a couple of stressed out workaholics trying to do the right thing, while having a good meal.
Most days of the week we get a salad, for lunch, from a popular international salad chain. Today, however, I had a mild sniffle and was craving something hot and that's when we decided to have Indian-Chinese. I was most definitely not going to sacrifice my diet, while having a good ten kgs to lose, post my hormonal imbalance issue, and so the experiment started.
We walked in to a standard issue restaurant chain serving Indian-Chinese, and started skimming the menu.
I decided to go with the safe but tasty Vegetable Tom Yum soup, while my husband picked the Chicken Garlic Soup. Now both were clear soups, so they fit in with our diet. We added a Chinese Salad and Mushroom Pepper Salt as starters. For the main course my husband wanted chicken and the steward courteously agreed to replace the fried chicken in his dish with a steamed version. I settled on a Stir Fried Vegetable dry (no corn starchy gravy for me).
Generally when we order at Chinese restaurants we specify the following "No Ajinomoto (MSG), minimum oil and less salt". The soup arrived, pretty quickly and it was piping hot, without an oily film on top, which was a relief. While, the Chicken Garlic soup had just the right bit of lemongrass flavour, the Vegetable Tom Yum was tasty but had a distinct curry flavour with the coriander and tumeric being pretty strong. The Stir Fried Vegetable was a pleasant surprise. It was tasty with absolutely no oily residue and pretty salad-like in look and feel. We had forgotten that the mushroom would be fried when we ordered it and to the chef's credit he had used the minimum possible oil, and still managed to make it tasty with a lot of spicy freshly crushed pepper. The Chinese Salad was the last to arrive and it was basically Kimchi (which used to be complimentary at most Chinese restaurants) with a larger variety of vegetables. The only downside to the salad was, it had some crispy fried stuff sprinkled on top, which I ate quite a bit of.
Our Take:
First having a fairly healthy Indian Chinese meal is possible, though it requires a bit of effort to check what goes into the dishes. In the future, we need to check portions sizes before ordering. In this case, the portions were quite large and we should have stuck to a soup each and two dishes apart from that. To make the meal really healthy, we could have skipped the fried mushrooms, as well as the crispy fried additions to the Salad. Given this assessment, here's how I rate the experience on a range of 1-5, (with 1 being extremely poor and 5 being excellent):
Taste : 4
Quality of Food/Ingredients: 3
Health Factor: 2 (Two fried dishes was not a good idea – the mushrooms and the salad topping)
Total: 5/10
Our tips for a healthy Indian-Chinese meal:
- Be sure to lose the deep fried stuff
- Remember to always specify "No Ajinomoto (MSG), minimum oil and less salt."
- Choose a clear soup
See you next month and be sure to recommend different cuisines or dishes for us to try. You can even write to us about your healthy eating experiences.
P.S. – I did have a fat-free (not sugar free) chocolate sorbet, after the meal, at a popular ice-cream parlour. But this is a health blog and I have to keep my secrets.

And the award for the best Villain goes to…
In recent times, trans fats have earned the reputation of being THE VILLAINS of the piece, the really BAD guys, to be avoided at all costs.
What are trans fats, and what makes them so bad?
Trans fats are artificially created fats. Basically, liquid vegetable oil (an otherwise healthy monounsaturated fat) is packed with hydrogen atoms and converted into a solid, which we call trans fat. This form of fat is ideal for the food and baking industry to use because of its long shelf life, high melting point and smooth, creamy texture. Trans fats are what make commercially prepared cakes, cookies and chips taste as nice as they do.
In India there has always been this long standing debate on the health benefits of vegetable oils, over saturated fats like butter or ghee and trans fats like vanaspati. In a choice between the three, vegetable fats definitely score over the other two, as the best form of fat intake. While, saturated fats have been found to elevate the total cholesterol and LDL (low-density lipoprotein) level; trans fats not only elevate LDL levels, but also those of triglycerides. Even worse they reduce the level of HDL (high-density lipoprotein), what is commonly referred to as 'good cholesterol', leaving a person extremely vulnerable to heart disease,
Right now, I can hear you saying, 'whoa hang on a moment, what on earth do all these high sounding medical terms mean'? Maybe I should explain right?
Let's start with Cholesterol?
This is quite simply, a fat that is made by the liver. Cholesterol is also present in several foods, such as, red meat and dairy. Cholesterol is required by almost all the cells of the body and is actually one of the good guys. It's only when an excess of cholesterol is present in the body that it starts creating problems. Then we come to the lipoproteins. As the name suggests, these are a combination of fat and protein. Their function is to transport fats around the body in the blood. There are three types of lipoproteins:
Low Density Lipoprotein or LDL, part of the villain troupe, since it carries cholesterol from the liver to the cells. If too much cholesterol is carried to the cells it cases a harmful build up, which results in the narrowing of the arteries (atherosclerosis) ultimately leading to heart disease.
High Density Lipoproteins or HDL is the good guy. It transports Cholesterol from the cells to the liver, to be broken down and eliminated. Thus a high level of HDL in your blood indicates a low propensity for heart disease.
Triglycerides are the form in which most fat exists in food, as well as in the body. Calories ingested in a meal and not used immediately by tissues for energy, are converted to triglycerides and transported to fat cells to be stored. These are an excellent source of fuel for the body when there are food shortages. On the other hand, in these days of food excesses, the level of triglycerides in the blood can very easily go above healthy levels, again leading to an increased risk of heart disease or one of the other lifestyle diseases.
Defeating the Villain
Now that we have demystified those impossible tongue twisters, let's get back to the original villain, trans fats.These baddies have earned themselves such a bad reputation, that their recommended safe intake has been limited to less than 1 percent of the total calorie intake. In other words, avoid them completely. In the USA it is mandatory to mention the use of trans fats on the food label. In India we do not have such stringent regulations yet, and therefore you need to pay careful attention to the ingredient list on the food label. If the words 'Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil' or 'Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil' are anywhere near the top of the ingredient list, this is a food to be avoided at all costs.
Ultimately, it always boils down to the same things doesn't' it? Fast foods, confectionery and fried snacks are the enemy. Treat yourself with very small portions of them once in ten days or so. Everyday food needs to be home cooked and balanced meals, made of unprocessed or semi processed cereals and lentils, cooked in as little oil as possible. Fresh fruit and raw vegetables make for perfect snacks (after thorough washing). Make sure that these good foods become a part of your daily life. After all when we don't let the bad guys win in Bollywood, why should we let them win at home?

Dietary Control – Our Food Laws
Food control in India is still in its nascent stage. Pre-independence legislation and other laws passed in the seventies and eighties focused on primary food. The legislative framework created multiple executive authorities that lacked coordinated efforts. With industrial growth paving the way for the Information Age – "The Third Wave" brought about changes in lifestyle. Processed food started taking center stage as a perpetual shortage of time became the norm, both at work and home. A legislation to control food quality and to ensure that regulations conformed to international standards, while working on a scientific basis, was the need of the hour in order to protect the health of the consumers.
Regulatory Background:
In 2005 the Government of India drafted the Food Safety Bill to consolidate the laws relating to food and to establish the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India. This regulatory body would lay down science based standards for articles of food, while regulating their manufacture, storage, distribution, sale and import. It also aimed to ensure availability of safe and wholesome food for human consumption. The draft was given life in the form of "Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006", however the officially came into force only on August 05, 2011. A few of the highlights of the Act are:
- A definition of the general principles of food safety are given and require standards to be established using risk analysis and by undertaking risk assessment based on available scientific evidence.
- Restrictions on the manufacture and distribution of genetically modified food and foods for special dietary uses.
- The seller is made liable for sale of food in specific cases, such as when the manufacturer was unidentifiable.
- The purchaser is empowered to have food analyzed by an authorized food analyst.
What is happening today?
"Watch out for what you eat. It could be killing you slowly and sweetly" – screamed the headline of a report by the Centre for Science and Environment, in March 2012, warning us of trans-fat content in junk food.
The study revealed the following:
- Most junk foods contain very high levels of trans fats, salts and sugar – which inevitably lead to severe ill health and diseases like obesity and diabetes
- CSE lab tests 16 major brands of foods relished by people, particularly the young
- Finds companies resort to large scale misbranding and misinformation; many say their products contain zero trans fats, but CSE finds heavy doses
- Danger lurking: Younger generation hooked to junk food, vulnerable to heart diseases in the prime of their life
Trans fat is short for trans fatty acid. Industrial trans fats like those in vanaspati are formed during the addition of hydrogen atoms to products to increase their shelf-life. The fats are associated with serious health problems, ranging from diabetes to heart diseases to cancer. They have been banned in a few European countries, such as Denmark and Switzerland, and in some of the cities in the US. But not all trans fats are bad for health. At least not the natural ones found in ghee, butter and cheese.
Are we winning or losing the battle?
On 11th January, 2012 a division bench of the High Court of Judicature, New Delhi ordered the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India to draft guidelines or rules to ban junk food in and around schools. The court passed the order on a public interest petition by Uday Foundation, a non-profit organization in Delhi, which alleges that junk food damages the health and mental growth of children. The petition was filed in 2010. The foundation works on child nutrition and health; it has sought a ban on sale of junk food in schools and within 500 meters of educational institutions. The next hearing was scheduled for 25th July, 2012. I am unable to mine a report on this and hence have reason to believe that the matter rests with the court and hence sub-judice.
Food businesses which have been affected by the new norms have filed writs. One of these writs was heard and issued on November 08, 2011 by the Madras High Court. Another case was heard by the same court and interim orders were issued by the learned judge restraining the Centre from enforcing some of the regulations in the Act against the affected parties. The Honorable Justice has directed a Central Government Standing Counsel to take notice returnable by June 05, 2012. As of now, I believe the matter is sub-judice.
On one hand, we seem to have made strides with path breaking legislation, while on the other we lack the teeth for execution. Ultimately, the fight for 'dietary control' has to be a personal one, where each of us arms ourselves with knowledge and takes responsibility for ourselves and our families. As the famous saying goes "Forewarned is forearmed".

Hi, My name is Charlotte Wassmer.
I am from Eindhoven which is located in the south of the Netherlands (Europe). In Eindhoven I recieved a Bachelor degree(BSc.) in Industrial Design at the Technical University Eindhoven. After that I went to study at Maastricht University to obtain a MA in Art, Culture and Heritage Management. During my internship at the Making Culture Lab it is my role to assist in designing and building online and offline experiences.
My professional interest is on Design for Debate. I greatly value sharing knowledge and every once in a while I just like to trigger people with new and extraordinary perspective. I am a fan of the Next Nature movement (nextnature.net) and graduated as the last Industrial design student in that theme on a project for Techno-Animism & Chado (Japanese tea ceremony).
From design for debate I got interested in cultural education and curating/designing museum exhibitions. This has led me to my master study. It also allowed me to hone my skills for organisation, management and policy making.
Industrial Design taught me the basics in prototyping (this includes programming, electronics and modelling). I often use (rough) sketches in the process to communicate my stories and ideas but I also like to make portfolios and booklets in Indesign. I have worked as a student assistent for the university (greenscreen) filmstudio so I have some experience as a director, operator and editor for movies.
With my interests in museums and education I have worked as a workshop professional for workshops on soldering, programming and sewing machine instructions. Some of these workshops took place during the STRP biennial where I also worked as a Tour guide for the exhibitions.
I am looking forward to share my skills and knowledge with everyone here!

Solid Advice On How To Buy A Dissertation Online Without Any Problems
You have decided to purchase your dissertation online because you just don't have the confidence that you can do a good job. For whatever reasons you have to purchase a dissertation, you must be as sure as possible you won't get caught and tarnish your reputation for the rest of your school career. Here is some solid advice on how to buy a dissertation online without any problems.
- Be certain the company you are considering knows all of the different citation styles that exist. Your professor will want your assignment written in a certain style and the writer must know how to do that.
- Be certain the business has skilled writers on staff. They need to be experts at researching so they can provide you with a thorough, concise, accurate dissertation. They also need to have a great command of the English language so there are no problems with grammar and spelling.
- A good company will offer you a money-back guarantee that they will complete your assignment before the deadline. They also must assure you that you will be satisfied with the final product or you will get your money back as well.
- Make sure the company addresses the problem of plagiarism with you. It is important that they assure you that your dissertation is unique and won't be resold at a later date. Their reputation should be just as important to a thesis writing company because if they are caught cheating, they will be out of business in no time.
- Be certain they give you an estimate in writing that will include the entire project and everything needed to hand in your dissertation complete. That way there will be no surprises at the eleventh hour and you will know exactly how much you are going to have to spend.
- Ask to see if they have any customer reviews. Any good company will have plenty of customer referrals that give honest, straight forward accounts of their past experiences. You should find out if there are any real issues with the company as well. This is a great form of advertising for any good business. If you don't see any customer reviews, I would consider going on to the next business.
If you follow the above guidelines, you should feel confident that you have found a trustworthy dissertation writing agency. You should be assured that you will get a quality dissertation that you will be proud to hand in to your professor.

The $2 Ohio Beef Checkoff
The national Beef Checkoff Program was established as part of the 1985 Farm Bill. The mandatory checkoff assesses $1 per head on the sale of live domestic and imported cattle, in addition to a comparable assessment on imported beef and beef products. The checkoff is collected by state beef councils, like the Ohio Beef Council (OBC). Half of each dollar is forwarded to the Cattlemen's Beef Promotion and Research Board (CBB) which oversees the national checkoff program, subject to USDA review. The other half of the dollar is retained by the OBC to fund state-based programs, which complement and extend the industry-wide effort.
In March 2014, a state checkoff of $1 was added to the federal $1 checkoff through a referendum that was approved by 72 percent of Ohio's beef producers who voted. The state checkoff went into effect in June 2014. The OBC Operating Committee directs the investment of state checkoff funds to extend beef's presence in Ohio's schools, conduct public relations outreach and farm tours for Ohio's food professionals, directly connect with consumers through spokesperson training programs, provide nutrition seminars for health professionals and develop a greater statewide media presence through radio, print, and social media all which help to reach Ohio's 11.5 million consumers with a beef message.
Refunds of the $1 state checkoff are available by written request using an approved Ohio Beef Council refund form. These forms can be requested through our Contact page or by calling the Ohio Beef Council at 614-873-6736. No refund is available on the first dollar since it is governed by the federal checkoff program.

We had a wonderful visit to the Centre for Study of Irish Art, CSIA, where we saw William Burtons famous watercolour 'The Meeting on the Turret Stairs'. We also went to the Caravaggio exhibition and European Art rooms. Seeing Jack B Yeats sketch books was a real treat.

You are here
Saturday brings perhaps the most storied college rugby matchup this side of Oxford v Cambridge as the University of California hosts the University of British Columbia at Witter Rugby Field in Berkeley for the first leg of the two-game "World Cup" series.
The series is so-named because The Vancouver World, a now defunct Vancouver, BC newspaper, used to sponsor the series, which is close to 100 years old. The series began in 1921 and remains a big part of each team's calendar.
"Each year this is the pinnacle of our season," said UBC Coach Dave Johnson. "The players are excited to play a premier American college side, and this is always a tough, competitive game."
In fact, this is, apparently, the game for the UBC alumni. Beating the Bears is what the Thunderbirds are expected to do.
That hasn't been easy of late, as Cal has won 12 of the past 16 games between the two. Many of those Cal victories have been exceptionally close, such as last year at Treasure Island in the mud when a late try gave Cal the 13-12 victory.
"A lot of the games have been close," said Johnson. "And because of that we are confident we can compete with Cal."
"It's a really exciting week for us," said Cal Head Coach Jack Clark. "We appreciate the honor of representing Cal against the Thunderbirds. It's such a privilege to be part of something bigger than oneself. Most importantly, we feel the responsibility to play our guts out."
So far this year, UBC is 2-0 after thrashing Oregon State and edging a tough Vancouver Rowing Club men's team. Cal, on the other hand, has had much more recent game time, winning the Dennis Storer Classic and putting up triple digits on Arizona State, Stanford, and Cal Poly.
Johnson said he is not too worried about rustiness in his team as they have been training hard and know their system. Cal has been lights out so far, but how will they handle the tough, savvy Birds?
Leading the way for UBC is fullback Sean Ferguson, who is, said Johnson, a "points machine." Tighthead prop Neil Courtney is also a standout lineman for the UBC football team. New recruit Connor Hamilton has become the go-to guy in the lineout.
Cal has been superb so far, with center Seamus Kelly a brilliant player in the midfield. Jake Anderson and Anthony Lombardo round out a classy backline. No. 8 Danny Barrett, who scored that late try to beat UBC a year ago, is back, while the Bears seem very happy with their front row of Tanner Mohr, Grant Hyjer and JP Hurrell.
This promises to be a classic clash. The game kicks off at 1pm at Witter Rugby Field on the Cal campus. Tickets are $5 for students and $10 for adults, and worth every penny.

The most popular keywords people use to promote web hosting provider's sites are: 'hosting', 'web hosting', 'shared hosting', 'PHP hosting', 'MySQL hosting' and of course 'professional hosting'. Less popular key words are 'low cost hosting', 'qualitative hosting' and at last 'web site hosting'. Not the best but still popular keywords are 'free hosting', 'domain name registration', 'free domain', 'hosting plans', 'video hosting', 'game hosting'.
It is easier to put all these keywords in one phrase - qualitative professional PHP MySQL CGI hosting, domain name registration and free domain.
Tacoma is a mid-sized urban port city in and the county seat of Pierce County, Washington, United States. The city is on Washington's Puget Sound, 32 miles (51 km) southwest of Seattle, 31 miles (50 km) northeast of the state capital, Olympia, and 58 miles (93 km) northwest of Mount Rainier National Park. The population was 193,556 at the 2000 census, while the Census Bureau estimated its population at 196,532 in 2006. Tacoma is the second-largest city in the Puget Sound area and the third largest in the state.
This year the most popular key words people use to find hosting providers are: 'hosting', 'web hosting', 'shared hosting', 'hosting plans', 'PHP hosting' and 'MySQL hosting'. However, last year the most popular keywords were 'free hosting' and 'free web hosting'. The quality of some free hosting services is not very low but still there is a list of disadvantages, take for example advertisement free hosting provider places on your site(s). It makes such providers unacceptable for some enterprises and companies. The reason for this lies in a chance for your web site to become a place where your competitor will show there ad. Moreover such ad banners may spoil your web site design.
If you want to choose a reliable, professional and high-quality hosting with the best up-time you should pay attention to:
1. How old the hosting provider is and for how long it has been providing its customers with hosting services.
2. Make sure, that the hosting provider you like is legitimate and registered as a legal entity. You can find such information in the 'Payments and contracts' part.
3. Take into account the number of existing customers of the hosting provider. The hosting provider which tries to hide such information is usually not very reliable. Experienced web hosting provider should provide you with at least 1000 customer's site links. These links are the way to check the level of the reliability and performance of hosting provider's servers.
4. Whether the hosting provider has not a virtual but a real office. It is advisable the office to be located not in the suburb.
5. Whether there is a phone number mentioned. It is advisable for the provider to have several phone numbers of managers and support service.
6. The hosting provider has to have its own server equipment and this equipment is to be installed in the data centres located in the same city as the office of the hosting provider is. If the data centres and office of the same hosting provider are situated in different cities or even countries, this hosting is undoubtedly not professional. Moreover, most of such hosting providers are resellers or partners of other companies and are able to guarantee you nothing.
7. What is the price for the hosting services? The minimal prices for 'php hosting' services start from $2 or so. The cheaper hosting plans don't include PHP, CGI, MySQL. Of course, it is possible to sell hosting even cheaper but in this case there would be no profit and money for equipment upgrade, research or installation of new servers. So the conclusion is that without profit web hosting is likely to lose everything.

|hey, what are these things?
|Hmmm.... they smell interesting.....
|Somehow I get the idea they are part of the family too.....
(Yes, I trust the dog - maybe dont try this with YOUR chicks unless you are pretty sure of how your pooch will react....)
Had he not, it probably would have rolled all the way down to the stream at the bottom of the hill!
With the deep freeze again today (it did finally get up to 33, but never felt above about 15) the trees weren't putting out nearly as much sap as yesterday. A couple of the taps are really slow anyway. Two of them were frozen again, all day today. Interesting to me that some would be frozen and some would not. Anyway, I'm guessing only about 2 gallons of sap collected today, as opposed to about 5 yesterday. And I really should be getting more like 9-10... but it has been cold except for yesterday, which was gloriously like spring. And, they are talking about that four letter word that starts with "S" again for Saturday. Yep, snow.
Or freezing rain, which is almost worse.
Well, to lift my spirits, I seeded a few more starts for the garden, and since I can't plant directly in the cold frames because the ground in there is still frozen, I am trying putting some things in containers. These are all cold hardy varieties, and even though the ground is cold in there, the air temps have been warm - yesterday it was nearly 80 degrees in there! Soil temps are more important than air temps for sprouting seeds, but my hope is that the containers will stay warm enough to let a few things sprout.
I did this two ways. One, just in the cups I use to start seeds indoors, for the really cold hardier things like spinach and lettuce and mache. And, two, in some empty gallon water jugs, which should create a sort of greenhouse effect. Double that with being inside the cold frame, and maybe it will be warm enough to let things sprout. We will see!
The chicks are all doing very well. They were much more active today, and lots of eating and drinking and pooping. As a way of measuring the rate of growth, I will take a picture of them next to an egg every day or so, so you can see how rapidly they are developing.

UNC Now
UNC offensive coordinator Blake Anderson named head coach at Arkansas State
Blake Anderson, who for the past two seasons as served as the offensive coordinator at North Carolina, has been named the new head coach at Arkansas State, the school's athletic director announced on Thursday.
Terry Mohajir, the Arkansas State athletic director, made the announcement in a post on Twitter.
"I'm excited to announce Blake Anderson as our new head football coach," Mohajir wrote in a post a little after 9 a.m.
Speculation about Anderson and the opening at Arkansas State grew louder earlier this week. Anderson responded to some of it during an interview after a Tar Heels practice on Tuesday.
"I'm extremely happy here and I'm not looking to leave," he said. "But I'm going to do the best for my family when the time comes."
This will be Anderson's first head coaching job. He began his college coaching career in 1995 as an assistant at Trinity Valley College, and then gradually worked his way up in the profession. For the past four seasons, he has been an offensive coordinator under Larry Fedora, UNC's second-year coach.
Anderson joined Fedora's staff at Southern Miss in 2008, and then became the offensive coordinator there in 2010. For the past two seasons at UNC, Anderson has called the plays in Fedora's up-tempo spread offense. Though Fedora is considered the architect of the offense, Anderson had freedom to call plays and make decisions within it.
Arkansas State finished 7-5 and is preparing for the GoDaddy.com Bowl, where it will play against Ball State. Anderson replaces former Arkansas State head coach Bryan Harsin, who was the head coach there for one season before leaving to accept the head coaching job at Boise State, where he'd been an assistant coach for 10 seasons.

Working at Home: Trends and Perceptions
Has the work at home revolution passed us by? Or are we just getting started? Reading the news about telecommuting it's impossible to tell. The pendulum swings from reports of companies like Xerox that have 8,000 full-time telecommuters to Marissa Meyer's well-cover pullback on telecommuting at Yahoo!
Same goes for parents trying to achieve work-life balance. Stay home! No, lean in!
At a time in the history of the world where life seems to change at lightning speed, the question isn't whether there is a growing move toward working at home. It's about how fast it's changing, if that is what we expected and what that means for each of us.
What the Numbers Tell Us
Looking at statistics doesn't necessarily make things much clearer. In 2015, 24 percent of workers in the United States did some or all of their work at home, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Would you consider 24 percent a lot or a little?
The lens through which people see these statistics may well depend on their own background. It might seem a low number, if you work in fields like management, business, and financial operations where 38 percent people do some work from home. Same is true of people age 25 or older who have bachelor's degrees of whom 39 percent do some or all of their work from home. People holding multiple jobs (aka moonlighters) are also more likely to work at home than are single job holders—36 percent compared with 23 percent.
However, only 14 percent of those with no college and a high school diploma do any work at home. And only 11 percent of in administrative and support positions worked at home. If you're among these folks, 24 likely seems a high number.
Now compare that figure of 24 percent in 2015 to 2003 when BLS reported that 19 percent of employed persons worked at home. Is a 5 percent increase in 12 years what we might have expected?
In 2003, the Pew Research Center studied how broadband connections change online life. It found that just 12 percent of Americans, or 24 million people, had broadband internet in their homes at that time. Though that number might seems small now, it was up from 6 million people just 3 years earlier in 2000. The study showed those people spent less time working in offices and more time working from home. It found that one third of those with broadband telecommuted. While there was certainly no expectation that growth in telecommuting would keep pace with the growth in broadband, it did seem that a new era was dawning.
The number of people who work at home may not have increased as dramatically as anticipated, but the actual time spent working at home has grown significantly. Between 2003 and 2015, the average time spent working at home increased 26 percent from 2.6 hours to 3.2 hours.
And the acceptance of telecommuting within organizations is certainly on the rise. In 2016, the Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM) reported that 60 percent of the organizations it surveyed said they allowed telecommuting, up from 20 percent in 1996.
There's More to Working at Home Than Telecommuting
Regardless of whether the pace of change in the last decade is more or less than expected, the fact is telecommuting is not the only way parents have worked at home. It's easy to think that the Internet gave birth to the work-at-home parent. Yet, long before the word telecommute was coined in 1974 (according to Merriam-Webster), parents of both genders worked at home. Women, in particular, did things like take in sewing or making handicrafts (just like today's Etsy sellers), watching other people's children (like home daycare centers), run boarding houses (like being an Airbnb host).
Men too worked at home as farmers, merchants and tradesman.
While all these occupations may sound old-fashioned, this just shows that the way people work has changed in the last 100 years...and it hasn't. And likewise the way that people will work and work from home will continue to evolve. There are any number of ways to carve out a living from home: working as a telecommuter for a big company, being a remote call center agent, signing on to the gig economy and picking of short tasks or direct selling products like Avon.

Toyota AE86 corolla
Started on Aug. 21 by kevlarcorolla
Just your everyday full composite bodied,turbocharged and carb'd corolla. Built entirely in my single car garage,used for autox,track days and if funds permit a little road racing in the future.
See more:
Aug 21, 2008 8:05 p.m.ae86andkp61:
- Ooooh! I think I know this car from several of the Corolla forums, and it is a stunning car, period...and all the more amazing considering that it is a truly grassroots effort from an individual with dedication, vision, and a lot of time and effort. Awaiting an update with some pictures and more details...
Aug 22, 2008 9:05 a.m.Tim Baxter:
- Pic?
Aug 30, 2008 4:51 p.m.mw:
- I can't see any pics, but I've seen it in person and it's a beautiful car.
Jun 17, 2009 10:58 a.m.drocca:
- i've been fortunate to see pics and footage of it in action. beautiful corolla!
Jul 16, 2009 4:50 p.m.kevlarcorolla:
- Thanks guys,been a long 10 years with the car and now its time to let go. The car is being parted out with pcs being scattered nearly coast to coast so I can begin new with a clean sheet of paper something that will if it works out certainly keep my attention behind the wheel.
Jul 16, 2009 6:48 p.m.ae86andkp61:
- Hmmm....I can't wait to see what comes next!
Jul 16, 2009 8:30 p.m.kevlarcorolla:
- Plans are to build a 900lb open wheel car with a mid mounted motorcycle engine,by mid mounted I mean truly mid mounted in that it'll be sitting directly beside me. Miata hubs,brakes and diff,rest all custom. Gotta get busy nailing down the final dimensions,rough sketchs put the wheel base a little under 90",total lenght of car about 100".
Nov 1, 2010 5:37 p.m.carbd77rocco:
- So how much boost were you running in your set up and what size of jets were you using? Im currently putting R1 carbs on my 77 vw scirooco thats running an 2l 8v motor and toying with some ideas.
Nov 1, 2010 7:38 p.m.kevlarcorolla:
- I was running 14lbs of boost,has seen as high as 19lbs but tore the transmission apart,hence the 14lbs. Can't rememeber what jets off the top of my head,r1 carbs are very easy to tune and have no problem with seeing boost provided you do the mods listed on the net.You need to show the bowl vents boost pressure via a pitot tube.Search ri turbo for a guy in sweden,lots of pics and good info on his site. I have the malpassi dual port regulator needed to make this work,willing to sell if you'd like.They are a bitch to find and I had to get mine from sweden.I also have the sealed plenum I built for the R1 carbs,I'd let it go with the regulator for a good deal-oh yeah I also have a new msd spark retard box for boosted applications. Hey I'm your 1 stop shop for the parts you'll need.:)
Nov 1, 2010 7:53 p.m.carbd77rocco:
- What would you think would be a fair price for the regulator? Id be making the intake plenum as im running a counter flow with very limited space for it to fit and im already running an ingnition system that will play nice wit hthe boost as well. Do you remember what all you had to do to the carbs for the boost. Ive done searches but only found info on preparing webers and downdraft carbs.
Nov 1, 2010 8:11 p.m.kevlarcorolla:
- The regulator isn't all that expensive,it took me 4 months to receive it from the the time of 1st contact with the swede's-their english not so good.Just saving that headache will be worth it for you. Contact me at email@example.com and I'll give you the links to the info etc.
Nov 2, 2010 3:49 a.m.carbd77rocco:
- Sounds great. Im curious what kind of power you were making? Did you ever get it onto the Dyno?
Nov 2, 2010 4:12 p.m.kevlarcorolla:
- Never made it to the dyno,tuned it with a wide band/plug readings. I'd be surprised if it wasn't making about 230hp at 14lbs,it would leave tracks in 3rd gear with 225 race rubber.It was freaking nutty at 19lbs :) Seriously e-mail me and I can help you out,I have an in car to show throttle response at an autox.
Nov 2, 2010 4:31 p.m.carbd77rocco:
- I sent you one. my email was jgmfive-sixteenat yahoodotcom sorry for the funcky response but i dont like a ton of junk mail.
Nov 2, 2010 8:46 p.m.kevlarcorolla:
- I didn't receive it,I tried to send you the info etc and it came back undeliverable.
Nov 2, 2010 9:03 p.m.carbd77rocco:
- email@example.com I found a yamaha sled site that im getting some more info on but its a forum so im getting alot of capfor asking questions that pertain to the carbs but not having them about a sled.
Nov 3, 2010 4:36 p.m.kevlarcorolla:
- Yeah I used the sled site as well,there's a few very experienced guys on there with turbo set-ups.They all bought a kit though and don't always understand why its the way it is.
Nov 3, 2010 11:14 p.m.carbd77rocco:
- Yeah so far its why are you using these carbs on a car and wanting to turbo it...Dont they have kits for that.....Why not use ITBS....
Nov 4, 2010 6:17 p.m.kevlarcorolla:
- I sent you an e-mail,did you get it?. I did itb's on a supercharged 20v with a stanalone-far to many electronic headaches so I went with the carbs and had far better results.
Nov 10, 2010 4:45 p.m.carbd77rocco:
- Yeah i got it thanks a ton. im going to have my rocco up and running tomorrow just n/a im hoping. But im going to start setting up a kit to turbo it here in the next couple of months. Thank for your help. I think its funny though everybodies still asking e why i dont go to standalone and itbs but if this goes as smooth as i hope it to and as your making it out ill ave roughly a grand or so into it between the carbs and everything vs 3-4 for going standalone and itbs.

Classy move: Joel Quenneville congratulates Blackhawks successor Jeremy Colliton
Did Joel Quenneville see his firing coming? Not according to his longtime captain with the Blackhawks, Jonathan Toews, who spoke with the coach soon after learning of the bombshell move.
"I think it was a shock for him and for everybody," Toews said. "The two of us had nothing but good things to say, and we're obviously very thankful for what we've been able to do together on the ice. It's unfortunate that we couldn't get back to the ultimate goal again together, but we all know that to have gone through what we've gone through, we're all pretty lucky."
And how's this for class? Not only did Quenneville, a three-time Stanley Cup winner with the Hawks and the second-winningest coach in NHL history, reach out to successor Jeremy Colliton with congratulations and encouragement. But he did so almost immediately, on the day moves were announced.
"It means a lot," Colliton said. "He's a Hall of Fame coach, and now I'm succeeding him. He took the time to send me a text message. He's a great man."
Say "ahh" (and "ouch")
Four front teeth — already in caps, because, you know, hockey — bent back by a wayward puck. Around 15 stitches in his upper lip. And upward of three hours in a dentist's chair.
Other than all that, Brandon Saad had a peachy Wednesday afternoon.
Saad was back with the Hawks a day after a bloody scare during a team practice. A puck ricocheted off Duncan Keith's stick and popped him in the mouth, sending him off the ice instantly.
"Nothing that hasn't been done before, unfortunately," he said.
Saad planned to wear a bubble mask over his face Thursday night against the Hurricanes at the United Center.
"It hurts," he said. "You're shocked at first. By the time they numb you up at the dentist, you're feeling pretty good. But besides that, it is what it is. It feels better today than yesterday. Usually, the mouth heals pretty quickly, so we'll take it day by day."
Isn't it hard to play with a mouth full of wreckage?
"Not really," he said. "Maybe a couple more smoothies rather than solid food."
Was Saad aware the puck caromed off his face and into the goal?
"Yeah," he said. "Too bad it wasn't in a game, though."
Family first
Artem Anisimov missed Thursday's morning skate to be with wife Kseniia and their third child, Alexander, who was born the night before.
"It's an Anisimov hat trick!" the Hawks announced in a tweet.
Colliton, whose own third child was born last week, expected Anisimov to be in the lineup against the Hurricanes.

It looked like it had worms in it. Chris and I wanted to barf. Jack would have licked it out of the bowl if I let him. It was SO disgusting. It smelled hideous. I'm glad he likes it, but I don't know if I can bring myself to cook it again it was so gross!
6. Jack's using a cup sometimes now. He's pretty good at it!
7. We have preschool orientation next week to find out who the boys have for teachers. They both think they'll have Mrs. Frankie and Mrs. Sheila. . . they definitely won't both have them, so I'm sure someone is going to be upset!
8. I was getting dressed yesterday and Henry was in our room playing with a disposable camera that's like 5 years old and we've never developed it. He kept pointing it at me and telling me to say cheese. Then he said, "Mama, want me to take a nice booby picture of you?" Um, no thank you little Mr. Pornographer.
9. David came to the grocery store with me this morning. On they way out we passed a family with seven children. He was talking about how they had a lot of kids, etc. In the car he said, "Mama, do you hear that?" I said no and he cupped his hand near his ear and said, "Hear that? I hear another baby in your belly!" I don't think so!
10. Jack does this about 986765 times per day now and gets SO mad when he does.
12. This just doesn't even need a description.
13. I have no idea why this layout got so screwed up. Anyway, here's David making Jack kick his own butt. . .

Yesterday 2nd Feb was my birthday and I am officially is 23 years old this year. Sound so old OMG! My family celebrated my birthday in Ipoh and we had home made steambot. Since we were celebrating at home, with my grandmothers, so we had the steambot dinner at our living room..
We had all the tables and burner set up around 6.30pm.
Beverages for dinner
Em...The food we had for steambot
My mum's expert dish- Tomato La-La
Steamed chicken (dad's favorite)
I was having fun playing with eggs...
The steambot dishes..Having lots of fish balls, meat balls, prawns, fish fillets, hotdogs, veges and ham...
Emmm...Yum Yum..the food is cooking already
My family enjoying the steambot
Birthday is nothing without birthday cake right? Especially for me..I love CAKES...all sort of cakes..This year my birthday cake is a chocolate sponge cake. Pretty cheap, cost about RM18 for 500g cake. Surprisingly, I picked the cake, and I went to take the cake as well. I was like..really celebrating my birthday myself..LOL

Falcons' Friday Soccer Results: Women Win, Men Tie
Hoping to get their second conference win of the season, the FLC men's soccer team battled Napa Valley to 0-0 tie in last Friday's Bay Valley Conference (BVC) match at Falcon Stadium. Both teams had numerous chances to score, but neither one could penetrate the goal. The Falcons' best opportunity came 20 minutes in, when a Napa Valley foul in the goal area resulted in a Folsom Lake penalty kick. Napa's goalkeeper made a spectacular save of Gus Chima's PK to keep the score at zeroes. Not long after, Napa had their own chance with a penalty kick, but the shot hit the post before Falcon goalie Patrick McDade corralled the rebound. The second half again saw both teams with scoring opportunities, but neither could convert. "We didn't play our best," noted Falcon coach Justin Johnson, "but at least we didn't allow them to score. It was nice having Drew (Russell) back; we had certainly missed his presence." Russell, a forward, had missed several games due to injury. The Falcons (3-10-1 and 1-3-1 in BVC) will now prepare for Tuesday's match at Contra Costa, currently in second place in the BVC.
While the men played at home against Napa Valley, the Falcon women were on the road….at Napa. With four first-half goals, the Falcons extended their BVC unbeaten streak to 35 matches (since September of 2013) with the 4-0 victory. Sophomore Sami Thomasnetted two goals, tying her with teammate Andrea Martinez for sixth in the state in scoring (both with 14 goals and 6 assists). Freshman Karina Torres scored the Falcons' first goal in the 10th minute of play - assisted by Jaqui Ortega - and sophomore McKenna Dunn added the final goal. With the win, the Falcons remain in first place in the BVC at 8-0-1 and are 10-1-2 overall. They'll travel to Fresno on Tuesday for a non-conference test against unbeaten Fresno City College, currently ranked number one in California (the Falcons are ranked 7th).
Upcoming Schedule:
Tuesday October 20 Men's Soccer at Contra Costa, 4:00 pm
Women's Soccer at Fresno City, 4:00 pm
Friday October 23 Women's Soccer vs Merritt at FLC, 3:30 pm
Men's Soccer vs Mendocino at FLC, 6:30 pm
Come on out for Friday's home doubleheader: enjoy the Fall weather and have dinner at Falcon Stadium!

In the words of Ron Eslinger, world-renowned hypnotist and pain specialist, "Pain is soul stealing." It prevents people from enjoying their lives and, worst of all, it doesn't need to be this way. The National Institutes of Health Panel on Pain has acknowledged that hypnosis is effective in alleviating chronic pain associated with various cancers. There is also a substantial and growing body of evidence that hypnosis can assist greatly in the management of chronic pain, such as that associated with irritable bowl syndrome, fibromyalgia, tic douloureux (trigeminal neuralgia), arthritis, and tension headaches.
In 2000, the Joint Commission for Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) recognized hypnosis as a complementary pain management therapy which would also help maintain the dignity and the well being of the client, without dependence on large quantities of medication.
Hypnosis is evidence-based. Hypnosis works!
"I was amazed to see that not only was Mr. Andrews able to reduce my client's discomfort through hypnosis, he was actually able to completely anesthetize my client so that he didn't feel any irritation during the procedure."

CONVICTED Dublin criminal John Gilligan has been arrested and charged with alleged money laundering offences after he was stopped at Belfast International Airport last week.
On October 15, 2013, Gilligan was released after serving 17 years in prison.
His arrest was made on Thursday evening by Border Force officers as he was attempting to board a flight to Spain at Belfast International Airport.
It is widely understood that Gilligan travels from Belfast Airport to avoid being spotted in Dublin..
€23,000 was recovered during the arrest.
Last Friday morning, Gilligan appeared at Coleraine Magistrate's Court where it was decided that he will be remanded in custody until September 4 when he will appear before Antrim Magistrate's Court.
The 66-year-old, with an address listed as Greenforth Crescent, Dublin, was formally charged with attempting to remove criminal property from Northern Ireland.
In court, Gilligan spoke only to confirm his name and date of birth.
Following the hearing he was remanded in custody after his lawyer's application for bail was refused.
Reports suggest that Gilligan has been living a reclusive lifestyle of late, splitting his time between Ireland, the UK and Alicante in Spain.
In 2001, Gilligan was sentenced to 28 years in prison for the trafficking of commercial quantities of cannabis resin.
In 2002, Gilligan was tried for and acquitted of the murder of the investigative journalist Veronica Guerin.
In 1996, Guerin was fatally shot while stopped at traffic lights on the Naas Dual Carriageway.

I'm shattered! I just had my 2 gorgeous sisters here for a week and there's not a lot we didn't do! I had spent the morning of their arrival 2 hours north of home, in Bordeaux, visiting some vintage markets for Dandelion Daydreamer Vintage. It was my first proper visit to Bordeaux and I am definitely trekking up there again soon. We had lunch sitting out in the old square. As I nibbled on my dejeuner my eyes hungrily skirted left and right, everywhere I looked there was a treat in store for my greedy eyes. Elegant French girls whizzed by, perched on the back of their boyfriends mopeds. Chanel ballerina pumps, teeny denim shorts and a snugly fitted blazer or floaty dresses and leather ankle wrap sandals seemed to be le look de jour.

LuLaRoe Convention 2016
Wow! I recently had the awesome opportunity to attend LuLaRoe's annual convention. It was AMAZING!!
Let me just say, LuLaRoe knows how to party!! We had team parties/dinners, an awesome kickoff party at a water park, and a sweet beach party the last night.
It was not all fun and games though. There were many great classes you could attend to meet the needs of your growing business. It was great to hear from the consultants who are killing it!
Getting Down to Business
We got to hear from Simon Sinek, who teaches leaders and organizations how to inspire people. We also heard from Les Brown, one of the world's most renowned motivational speakers. Along with all the greats in LuLaRoe, Patrick Winget Chief Merchant, and some of the best consultants Lindsey Wheeler and Lisa Jones. And of course hearing from DeAnne and Mark Stidham, founders of LuLaRoe, was the highlight!
There were great small group classes also, so you could choose what you needed most help with. I chose to go to a time management class, fashion and styling, and booking pop-ups and hostess prep. There was also an opportunity to attend round table discussions with coaches, it was great to be able to pick their brains and see what is working for different people.
We go to see the sweet little girls Lucy, Lola, and Monroe who the company is named after. And a great session on styling with the Style Sisters (DeAnne's daughters).
Some Playtime Too!
Letting loose at the kick off party at Splash Kingdom was so fun! There was a huge line of food trucks to choose from and a great band!
One of the things that surprised me the most was how many different prints there really are! Even with 6000 people attending, I rarely saw the same print twice! Amazing! It was also very inspiring to see all the different shapes and sizes of every consultant, LuLaRoe really is for everyone! Which is the number one reason I love LuLaRoe so much.
The awesome weekend was wrapped up with a beach party at Huntington beach. Food, fun, fire pits, and fireworks! With special guest Andy Grammer as entertainment. And, yes, he wore leggings too!
After spending the weekend with so many successful people, I have a new fire in my pants to get out there and spread the word about LuLaRoe, where we sell confidence, not just clothes.

A .rtext config file is used to specify which backend service is to be started for a given RText model file.
In order to be found by an RText plugin, the .rtext file must be located in the same directory as the RText model file being edited or in any of its parent directories.
Here is the grammar for the config file syntax:
rtext_config ::= <service_spec>+ service_spec ::= <file_pattern_list>:\n<command line string>\n file_pattern_list ::= <file_pattern> | <file_pattern>, <file_pattern_list> file_pattern ::= <filename without path> | *.<extension>
Here is an example:
*.ext1: ruby service1.rb *.ext2, *.ext3: ruby service2.rb *.ext2 *.ext3 noext: service3.sh
This example contains specifications for three different backend services. service1.rb is started when a model file with the extension "ext1" is being edited. service2.rb is started when a model file with extension "ext2" or "ext3" is edited. service2.rb also receives additional command line parameters. service3.sh is started whenever a file named "noext" is edited.

Accidents on construction sites cause thousands of workplace injuries in the United States each year. Although the Occupational Health & Safety Administration has developed safety standards in order to minimize the risk of accidents and injuries to construction workers, some negligent contractors, subcontractors, and developers fail to comply with these guidelines and put their employees at risk. The on the job hazards faced by construction workers vary according to several factors, such as the work environment, the type of construction equipment used by the worker, and the specific tasks performed by the worker.
Common Causes of Construction Accidents
There are countless unsafe practices and conditions that can lead to construction site accidents and injuries, but listed below are some of the most common:
- Lack of safety training for workers
- Failure to wear proper safety equipment (such as helmets and safety harnesses)
- Failure to create an accident prevention program
- Failure to enforce safety practices
- Failure to provide appropriate safety equipment
- Employers and site supervisors trying to meet timing deadlines and imposing unsafe conditions on workers to accomplish this
- Construction equipment malfunction or failure
- Improper maintenance of tools and materials
- Equipment design or manufacturing defects
- Equipment left on the ground instead of being stored correctly (creates a trip and fall hazard)
- Poor construction site management
- Insufficient construction planning
- Falling debris or dropped objects striking workers below
- Holes in flooring
- Trench cave in
- Improper scaffolding construction
- Accidental exposure to harmful chemicals
- Improper use of explosive devices
Although it is virtually impossible for any construction site to be completely FREE of health and safety risks due to the nature of the industry, employers have an obligation to follow safety regulations and reduce workplace hazards to the greatest extent possible. In some cases, safety rules are ignored in order to maximize profits, often with tragic results. Construction workers should be trained to recognize hazards, as well as how to eliminate or reduce the risk of injury before an accident occurs. One mistake can lead to severe injuries or fatalities, so safety should be the top priority on every job site.
