Canada's New Food Guide
A Dietitian's Perspective
Canada's New Food Guide was recently released. The last one was issued in 2007; a lot has changed in that time! We can say good bye to the recognizable rainbow of four food groups. Many complained that it was too confusing and not individualized, and that food industries heavily influenced it. Thankfully, Health Canada issued the new Food Guide after lengthy discussions with dietitians and the general public, as well as consideration of evidence-based research to support its modern and relevant recommendations.
Our clients and valuable readers highly requested this blog. They wanted me to share my opinions about the changes to Canada's New Food Guide. Today, I will highlight the purpose of the food guide, top five changes and the pros and cons of this public educational tool.
It's been since 2007 when the last Food Guide was issued; a lot has changed in that time! Find out now!
What is the Role of a Food Guide?
The Food Guide is a basic education tool designed to help people follow a healthy diet. This is by no means a one-size-fits-all, nor a descriptive analysis of what or how much to eat. Working with a Registered Dietitian is helpful for individualized recommendations along with counselling tools to facilitate behaviour change. (You can click here to work with one of the Dietitians on our team.)
Food Guides have evolved greatly since 1942 (click here for the evolution). They take into account current dietary patterns of the public, nutritional goals, along with food supply. They also consider nutritional science in order to recommend food choices while offering flexibility and variety in the diet.
"The Food Guide is a basic education tool designed to help people follow a healthy diet."
5 Major Changes to Canada's New Food Guide:
- Eliminated Four Food Groups: Instead, the public is encouraged to "eat a variety of healthy foods each day" including "plenty of vegetables and fruits, protein foods and whole grain foods."
- No Serving Size Recommendations: Many people who do not measure or record their food intake found this confusing. The former recommendation was also not flexible for preferences and varying nutritional needs.
- Protein choices now encompass more plant-based proteins like tofu, beans and chickpeas, along with meat, fish, dairy, nuts/seeds, eggs, etc.
- Emphasis on drinking water: Clearly stating, "make water your drink of choice." This displaces sugary beverages and calorically dense alcohol with associated health risks at high levels.
- Balanced Plate approach: Will see half plate fruit and vegetables, quarter protein and quarter whole grain. This might be overly simplistic for people uncertain of serving sizes but it is a good place to start.
Pros of Canada's New Food Guide:
- Absolutely love the broader approach with an emphasis on "how" we eat as opposed to simply what to eat. This includes "cook more often" as a practical and often overlooked aspect to healthy eating. Research clearly supports the nutritional benefits of cooking at home as opposed to eating out with highly processed products higher in calories, saturated fat and sodium.
- Introduction to mindful eating – taking time to enjoy your food, not multi-tasking when eating. Noticing the textures, flavours and visual appeal of your foods. Noticing when you are hungry and when you are full.
- Emphasis to "eat with others" – the shared meal has so many health, psychological and food relationship benefits.
- Be aware of food marketing: This important note increases consumer awareness that products can be very deceptive in nutritional claims. The point is not elaborated upon which is possibly a missed educational opportunity.
- Enjoy your food – Yes! As a food loving dietitian and supporter of a healthy relationship with food that fuels your body in a feel-good way, I strongly favour this message. It's simple but powerful and also encompasses enjoying cultural and food traditions.
- Emphasis on water for hydration. Again, this strategy is simple but powerful for meals.
Cons of Canada's New Food Guide:
- Indicates consumers "use food labels" – Stating this very simplistically may create confusion among people who are not sure where to start. Click here for my blog on how to read and interpret the food label.
- Starchy Vegetables could be in the Grain group – I am a carb supporter (read here to see my blog on the importance of carbs); however, trying to account for carbohydrate energy, which comes from foods like grains, starches and fruits, confuses people. This diagram lumps the fruits, starchy vegetables and regular vegetables all in one category. I would have preferred the potatoes, peas, squash included in a grains and starchy vegetable group. However, this would likely lead to more public confusion and possibly demonization of carbs.
- No note on supplementing with vitamin D; the previous food guide included this. It is difficult to get enough of this valuable nutrient in our diets. We also live in a sunshine-limited northern climate.
- Understated note on high risk groups and how to adapt nutritional intake for elderly, pregnant/breastfeeding women, or children. However, as mentioned, the guide is a general tool and your registered dietitiancan make individual recommendations.
Bottom Line:
Overall, the new Canada's Food Guide is a welcome update with an added emphasis on mindfulness, cooking and eating together, and balancing your plate. The recommendations are no longer food group or portion specific. Their new flexibility includes a variety of foods with with an emphasis on vegetables, plant-based proteins and whole grains.
The food guide could also note that working with a dietitian is a helpful tool for individualized recommendations. This would especially benefit the management of such health conditions as diabetes and heart disease, as well as digestive concerns. These all tremendously impact diets.
Now it's your turn! What you think about the changes to the Food Guide? What are your pros and cons?

Advantages of BST over Hash Table
Hash Table supports following operations in Θ(1) time.
1) Search
2) Insert
3) Delete
The time complexity of above operations in a self-balancing Binary Search Tree (BST) (like Red-Black Tree, AVL Tree, Splay Tree, etc) is O(Logn).
So Hash Table seems to beating BST in all common operations. When should we prefer BST over Hash Tables, what are advantages. Following are some important points in favor of BSTs.
- We can get all keys in sorted order by just doing Inorder Traversal of BST. This is not a natural operation in Hash Tables and requires extra efforts.
- Doing order statistics, finding closest lower and greater elements, doing range queries are easy to do with BSTs. Like sorting, these operations are not a natural operation with Hash Tables.
- BSTs are easy to implement compared to hashing, we can easily implement our own customized BST. To implement Hashing, we generally rely on libraries provided by programming languages.
- With Self-Balancing BSTs, all operations are guaranteed to work in O(Logn) time. But with Hashing, Θ(1) is average time and some particular operations may be costly, especially when table resizing happens.

Ep. 133: Existing vs. Living
Todays Words of Wisdom Wednesday podcast episode is about the importance of placing value on your life in order to increase the quality of your existence. I discuss how changing and acknowledging the importance of my perspective regarding the subject shifted many of my behaviors. When my depression was in its darkest state, I wanted to simply exist and wished the days would go by as quickly as possible. Previously, everyday habits were done subconsciously and indulgence was non-existent. My goal was to get through the day instead of enjoying the gift that each day brings.
After I realized that each day was not guaranteed, I began to have a sense of urgency to live. I slowly started to place more value on the simple things like breathing and being able to taste foods, which ultimately lead to more gratitude. The sum of these behaviors and experiences resulted in more happiness and feelings of joy. Today, it's what I refer to as "living." Living your life means appreciating everything that's in front of you instead of lamenting the past or worrying about the future.
Eventually, mornings became something I looked forward to instead of avoiding. I started to seize the day instead of allowing it to takeover my mind. I began to live outside of my mind by acknowledging the various aspects of nature that consistently felt like miracles. Everything turned brighter and while I still battled various episodes of depression, overall, I felt like a different person that was excited and grateful to be alive. Asking ourselves the question whether we're simply existing or living has the ability to lead us on a different path that's often trying to give us a more fulfilling life.

Disclosure of Vaccination Form
The state of Ohio requires all institutions of higher education to have a disclosure of vaccination status on file for Meningococcal (Meningitis) and Hepatitis B. Please note that Ohio law does not require vaccination of the student, nor does it require the institution to provide or pay for vaccines. The law requires only disclosure of vaccination status of the student. An institution of higher education shall not permit a student to reside in on-campus housing unless the student (or the student's parent if the student is younger than 18 years of age) discloses whether the student has been vaccinated against meningococcal disease and hepatitis B by submitting a meningitis and hepatitis B vaccination status statement.
Meningococcal Meningitis
Meningococcal (bacterial) meningitis is a potentially fatal bacterial infection that causes inflammation of the membranes surrounding the brain. Symptoms of bacterial meningitis in order of frequency are: stiff neck, fever, headache, rash, extreme fatigue, nausea, vomiting and sensitivity to light. The disease is transmitted through close, direct contact with the oral secretions of an infected person by sharing glasses or utensils, kissing, and coughing. Meningitis is rare in persons over 30 years old and is more common in late winter and early spring.
Hepatitis B
Hepatitis B is a viral infection of the liver that is transmitted from the blood and body fluids of an infected person through another person's mucous membranes or broken skin, much like AIDS (HIV) is transmitted. Hepatitis B is a vaccine-preventable disease. The vaccination schedule consists of three injections: the initial immunization, the second injection one month from the first injection, and the third injection five months from the second injection for optimum immunity. In the event of disruption of the schedule, the immunizations can still be continued, but a blood titer is recommended to determine if a fourth shot is needed.

SAN DIEGO, California. If you have been in a serious accident, you will likely be dealing with insurance adjusters regarding damages to your vehicle and regarding seeking damages for your personal injury. If your car was seriously damaged in an accident, there is a chance that insurance adjusters will declare your vehicle a total loss. What does it mean when your insurance company declares your vehicle "totaled" and what are your rights?
December 2018
Avoiding Collisions with Trucks
SAN DIEGO, California. If you plan to drive long distances over the holiday, one thing is for sure: you'll be sharing the road with semi-trucks, big rigs, and large trucks. As more Americans order goods online, more trucks will be on the road. Yet, when accidents happen between trucks and passenger vehicles, the people most likely to suffer serious injuries are passengers in the smaller vehicles. Trucks carry heavier loads and can cause serious damage if a collision occurs. So, what can you do to protect yourself and your loved ones when sharing the road with big rigs this holiday travel season? Here are some tips:
How the Story of the World's First Traffic Light Can Inform Our Thinking About Driverless Technology and Crash Risks
SAN DIEGO, California. The Smithsonian Magazine recently ran a story about the world's first traffic light. The story offers insight into the way traffic innovations that ultimately go on to prevent car crashes can initially cause more accidents. As the old saying goes, "those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it." Could the story of London's first traffic light offer us insight into how driverless cars should be received on the roadways?
Common Causes of Bike Accidents
SAN DIEGO, California. Bike accidents can be particularly deadly for victims and their families. Bikers don't have the protective chassis of a vehicle, meaning that bike crashes are more likely to result in serious injury or death for the rider. Serious injuries can include head injuries, spinal cord injuries, and broken bones. Even when the injuries are not life-altering like major traumatic brain injury or a spinal cord injury, victims can still face a long road to recovery.

Ensuring Legal Communication for Your Law Firm
In order to run a successful law firm, you'll need to have a list of satisfied clients. There are a multitude of different ways you'll interact with your clients, whether verbal or digital. But, on top of that, you'll need to communicate about the status of their cases, all while managing to run an efficient office.
However, firms that communicate effectively will be better at retaining clients over the long-term, along with receiving more referral clients. Ensuring effective legal communication is important for your law firm to stay competitive.
Learn how to improve legal communication while ensuring your firm stays in alignment with legal communication best practices, along with how using cloud communications tools can greatly streamline communication throughout your organization.
How to Improve Legal Communication?
Legal communication breaks down into two different communication processes. The first relates to the initial communication when a person is considering retaining your services. The second is the ongoing communication between a lawyer and a client that pertains to their case.
Here are a few ways to improve legal communication in both regards:
Consider the Communication Method
When you're sharing information with your clients, ask yourself: what's the most effective way to share this information? It might not always be having your client drop by your office. In some cases, a simple email, phone call, or even text message might suffice.
Make Yourself Accessible
The first step towards improving legal communication with your clients is to make yourself, or your firm easy to get in contact with. This means you'll want to offer multiple methods of contact, including phone, email, and live chat. Depending on the size of your firm you might also want to utilize a call center to handle higher call volumes and to process calls that take place outside of regular business hours.
Offer Speedy Responses
Considering legal matters you don't want to keep your current clients, or potential clients waiting. If you're a larger law firm you might even want to employ a call center to help improve your call response time. Every second your clients are spent waiting you're not only deteriorating the relationship, but you're increasing the chances they'll hang up the phone and go elsewhere.
Implement Quarterly Surveys
If you're looking to improve your communication standards across the board you'll want to accept and implement feedback from past or current clients. This can be something as simple as an email survey you send out every quarter. Or, you can include simple surveys at the end of customer service calls to rate the quality of service provided.
Using Cloud Communication Tools to Improve Communication
Not too long ago most communication was handled via telephone. However, those days are far behind us now. Today, your clients will require multiple methods of getting in touch with your legal firm, whether that's via email, telephone, website live chat, and more. Plus, depending on the size of your firm you might even need to use a cloud call center to manage a high volume of calls.
Cloud communication tools will help to streamline communication throughout your entire law office. Instead of having to keep tabs on every line of communication with your client it will all be centralized under a single dashboard.
For example, if a client calls your law office whatever agent answers the phone will have access to a complete customer profile. You can also include any text communication, user profiles, and a lot more. With a full client picture you'll be able to more effectively serve your clients.
Plus, with a cloud communication solution all of your client's data will remain secure, and all communication, whether verbal, digital, or voice will be encrypted.
Effective legal communication will form the backbone of a successful law practice. By considering your client's needs at every step of the way you'll be able to build up a satisfied customer base and increase the number of referral leads. Plus, by implementing a cloud-based communication solution you'll make communication easier for every member of your team. By making it easier to process and answer client calls you'll greatly elevate the level of service your law firm can provide.
When it comes to ensuring legal communication, 8x8 provides reliable and compliant cloud solutions at a demanding level rarely seen by other cloud providers. Don't take your chances with a subpar cloud-based telecom system. Call 1-866-879-8647 or fill out an online form to request a no-obligation quote from an 8x8 product specialist.

I just discovered some bogus information I'd been purveying, which is that UTF-8, a way of encoding Unicode characters (actually code points), may include up to six bytes per character.
In fact, that used to be the standard, but per RFC3629, when Unicode merged with an ISO standard, the cut off was set to 4, covering hexadecimal numbers U+0000..U+10FFFF.
The Python docs themselves give a clear, if abbreviated, introduction to the history:
There's a related ISO standard, ISO 10646. Unicode and ISO 10646 were originally separate efforts, but the specifications were merged with the 1.1 revision of Unicode.This featured chronology at the Unicode.org website seems to stop in 1992 and doesn't talk about the 1.1 revision.

The year 2016 brings another opportunity to recognize military personnel who are currently on active duty or who are Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, Marine or National Guard veterans. Legislative Bill 383 passed by the 2014 Nebraska Legislature authorized the issuance of Military Honor Plates beginning January 2, 2016.
December 7, 2015 was the first day qualified military personnel could order their plates online or at a local County Treasurer office. Establishing eligibility and identifying the branch of service is the first step to obtain a military plate. Veterans are required to apply to the Nebraska Department of Veterans Affairs at https://www.nebraska.gov/va_registry/index.cgi to be placed on the Veteran's Registry before proceeding to the online specialty plate application for their plates.
"We are pleased to be able to participate in a process which honors our Nebraska veterans," stated Rhonda Lahm, Director of the Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles. "Within the first 24 hours of the Military Honor License Plates becoming available online, 206 applications were processed. I think that speaks volumes of the military pride here in Nebraska." By the end of the month over 1,000 applications for Military Honor Plates had been received.
'The design of the Nebraska Military Honor License Plates is the sharpest looking veteran plate I have seen," said Lahm. "Kudos go to Betty Johnson, Department of Motor Vehicles Driver and Vehicle Records Administrator and Pat Stull, Department of Corrections Shop Operator, for their effort in creating the design; they did an outstanding job!"
The availability of the online application process was a joint effort between the Department of Motor Vehicles and Nebraska.gov; our partners for the many online services we have available for the citizens of Nebraska.
Standard numeric plates and special message plates featuring the logos of each military branch can be found at http://www.clickdmv.ne.gov under Vehicle Services. Funds acquired by the sale of the Military Honor License Plates are earmarked for operation and maintenance of the Veteran Cemeteries located in Nebraska.

There are both free and premium choices for your blog's WordPress theme, with intense cost variations, ranging from $three to $1,000. It definitely tends to make sense for to sift through the free of charge themes 1st, since there are so a lot of choices and you'll get a much better notion of what you want. Plus, themes are like clothes buying you can try the theme on to verify the fit prior to producing your choice. Most theme repositories, which includes WordPress' own , give you the chance to preview a theme before downloading, installing or even paying for it.First, let's look at an example of a advertising email that stood out to me by way of avoidable mistakes. Open a draft post in Blogger Blogspot and upload photos there. The HTML tab will show you the URL for the image, which you can link to from outside Blogger. Video and audio can be saved and linked to on a Google Sites cabinet page.Individuals whose photos have been taken by Instagram customers threat finding their image published with out their knowledge. If you have just produced your internet site, the chances of acquiring quickly and natural links are virtually zero. It's a single or the other.Personally, I use iPage (for my weblog domain and hosting), and I've got nothing but excellent items to say about it. It really is probably one of the least expensive (significantly less than $2.50 per month) hosting providers out there. A domain name will price about $ten-15 a year, but with iPage they throw that in for cost-free :). Massive smiles for that! They're the providers I use for all of my blogs, such as the 1 you are reading right now.Of course, not all of us have Mr. Andrews's attain on Twitter (182,000 followers at the moment). For us mere mortals, hashtags can again come to the rescue: Seek out customers that specialize in the areas you are researching, making use of search and hashtags.You can also schedule repeat posts indefinitely, so your content material schedule by no means runs dry. Plus Edgar enables you to upload custom pictures for your Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn posts. A rebranding is a major undertaking. But if you use these ideas, it need to make your rebranding efforts a bit less painful on social media.This is a good concept if you have infrequent comments, if you travel often, or you have designed strict guidelines on commenting. You can also check a box that says you can reply to this comment by way of e-mail. If you are moderating a quantity of blogs, this is not advisable, since it may overload your e mail inbox.Never take that actually! You do not have to scare your viewers away.

New Mexico DPS reneging on reciprocity agreements
Chris Bird via TCHA
The New Mexico Department of Public Safety announced that most of its reciprocity agreements with other states, including Texas, were null and void. The department stated that most of its reciprocity agreements do not conform to New Mexico law. On its
web site
, NMDPS stated: "Texas: Concealed carry requirements are not substantially similar to New Mexico or at least as stringent, so Texas is not recognized by NM." Each of the 19 states with which New Mexico has reciprocity agreements had a similar paragraph with just the name of the state changed. The web site listed six reasons that states did not meet NMDPS standards.

Critic's misguided view of shooting ranges bill; NSSF provides the facts
Target Practice and Marksmanship Training Support Act will accomplish. First, however, we must correct some statements the writer has made. The writer suggests that both gun owners and private ranges would be paying a tax to provide funding for public shooting ranges. In truth, this funding mechanism has been in place for 75 years.
Florida Gov. Scott: No downtown gun ban for GOP convention
Florida Gov. Rick Scott has rejected a request from the Tampa mayor to prohibit the carrying of guns in downtown during the Republican National Convention this summer because it would infringe upon "sacred constitutional traditions," according to a letter released. Concerned about the politically charged atmosphere on the streets outside the convention hall, Mayor Bob Buckhorn wrote to Scott asking for an executive order that would temporarily override state laws allowing people with concealed weapons permits to transport firearms downtown.
New Mexico concealed carry limit challenged
Pursuing another local gun control rule that was undermined by U.S. Supreme Court rulings in recent years that affirmed the right to bear arms, the Second Amendment Foundation has filed a lawsuit against officials in New Mexico. The case is seeking to remove a state prohibition on the issuance of concealed carry permits to legal resident aliens. The case was filed on behalf of John W. Jackson, an Australian citizen who came to the U.S. in 2007 with his wife, an American citizen. He obtained permanent resident status in 2008.
An armed society is truly a polite society
US News & World Report
Jerry Henry: "Ever hear of the Second Amendment? I can think of no reason for not carrying guns openly. In fact, there are only seven states and the District of Columbia that continue to infringe on the Second Amendment by not allowing open carry. Fourteen states allow open carry with a license along with 29 states that allow unlicensed open carry, including four states—Arizona, Arkansas, Vermont, and Wyoming—which require no permits for carrying openly or concealed. If open carry were a big problem, wouldn't some of these states repeal these laws instead of trending toward open carry in more states?"
Conceal carry clothing hot with gun owners
Almost every state except for Illinois now issues some sort of concealed handgun permit. The regulations to get one vary from state-to-state. Gun sales have been hot across the country the past few years. Nationally, FBI background checks needed for gun sales are on the rise. In 2011, that number hit a record high of 1.2 million in Texas. 2012 may be on track beat that. This is great news for emerging industries that are growing as more people start to carry. Folks who have concealed handgun licenses are getting more fashion forward.
State-by-state concealed carry laws: The good, the bad, and the ugly
Human Events
From state to state across the nation, varied concealed carry laws that determine the legality of carrying and traveling with a weapon, are about as chaotic as a spinning tornado. Currently, each state in the union has some kind of menacing restriction placed on innocent Americans that concurrently and specifically violate the Second and Fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution. With no clear federal standard, many state authorities are imposing heavy-handed rules that penalize American citizens for exercising Second Amendment rights that, in the best circumstances, afford them the freedom to carry firearms wherever they go.
Concealed carry: Why the uproar?
Columbus Dispatch
April 8, marked the anniversary of a law that affects the lives of more than 270,000 Buckeyes. Ohio's concealed-handgun license law turned 8-years-old that day. Notably absent from the festivities were blood in the streets, Wild West reenactments and an epidemic of accidental gun injuries. To understand the significance of this event and why it seems completely unremarkable, simply Google "Ohio concealed carry 2003" and prepare to be astonished.
Dads, daughters ready for range
San Angelo Standard-Times
Just weeks ago, members of the San Angelo Gun Club heard about the first National Take Your Daughter to the Range Day. "The idea was brought up at the monthly club meeting and it was decided it would be an excellent project," club treasurer Janette Story said. On June 9, the club is hoping to have 60 girls ages 10 to 18 at the club's range to participate in firing .22LR rifles.

Are you wondering about the purchase of Leki Micro Vario Carbon? You are not sure if they will be right for you? In this post we performed a full Leki Micro Vario Carbon Review which helps you to dispel your doubts.
Leki Micro Vario Carbon Review
|Trekking Pole
|Leki Micro Vario Carbon
|17 oz.
|15.5 in.
Leki Micro Vario Carbon
Leki Micro Vario Carbon are made entirely of carbon, which is much more fragile and therefore prone to damage than models made of aluminum. However, its durability is at a satisfactory level. Although we do not recommend them for difficult hikes outside the trail, but if you are looking for a compromise between durability and mobility, this is a great choice
Thanks to the carbon and foam used, the pole weighs a little over 450g making it one of the lightest tested. It isn't as light as some of the other carbon poles, but made up for this in that it had more features and was more versatile than some of the superlight offerings.
Leki MicroVario Carbon, as opposed to the competition, is equipped with foam grips. The main advantage of the foam over the commonly used cork is excellent sweat evacuation and good adhesion, which is especially important in high moisture conditions. In addition, the foam grips adapt very well to the shape of the hand, which significantly increases the overall comfort of use.
As in the case of Leki Micro Vario Ti Cor-Tec and the Leki Corklite DSS Antishock it uses Leki's SpeedLock 2 external lever locking mechanism. It's super easy to use and doesn't require any spare tools or coins to tighten or loosen the tension, which makes on-trail adjustments easy.
Leki Micro Vario Carbon excels as a great choice for hikers, trekkers, and backpackers. It can be also a good choice for climbers and travelers as well, thanks to its packable design. The field comes with snow baskets to make a lightweight choice for mountaineers, snowshoers, or splitboarders. The foam grips are great for warm weather as well as they wick moisture effectively.
The Leki Micro Vario Carbon uses a three-piece tent pole design allowing it to break apart to a packable length of just 38cm. It makes it one of the more packable models compared to the traditional telescoping design, like the Black Diamond Alpine Carbon Cork at 61 centimeters or the Leki Corklite DSS Antishock at 67 centimeters.
The price of $200 makes the Leki Micro Vario Carbon one of the most expensive poles. However, if you have the money, it's an exceptional purchase for a lightweight, packable, and durable pole
Leki Micro Vario Carbon Review - Conclusion
The Leki Micro Vario Carbon is the most premium pole offered by Leki. The premium carbon fibre used makes this pole very light. The foam grips felt great in the hand and added something unique to the typical cork grips used in most premium poles
If money isn't an issue and if you're looking for something new, ultralight and very portable then the Leki Micro Vario Carbon is perfect and can be used in a variety of conditions.

The Giant Australian Cuttlefish (Sepia apama) is one of the largest cuttlefish species in the world.
Dense Cuttlefish spawning aggregations in Point Lowly
Point Lowly, in South Australia's northern Spencer Gulf, is the only known site where Giant Australian Cuttlefish form dense spawning aggregations.
It is not completely understood why Giant Cuttlefish aggregate in northern Spencer Gulf. It is likely that they are attracted to the shallow rocky areas along the coast as it provides optimal habitat to lay their eggs.
Research reports to investigate population decline
A number of research projects have been undertaken under the guidance of the State Government cross-agency Cuttlefish Working Group because of community concerns about population decline. A number of these projects have now been finalised with reports available below.
The exact cause of the decline remains difficult to pinpoint, however environmental temperature appears to have a strong influence on the size of the population.
Cuttlefish population survey
In 2014 the population survey at the Point Lowly aggregation site recorded the first population increase of Cuttlefish in six years, 57,317, up from 13,492 in 2013.
The 2018 survey results show the annual estimate of Giant Australian Cuttlefish abundance increased from 124,992 individuals in 2017 to 150,408 in 2018.
While the working group is cautiously optimistic about this increase in numbers, an extension of the temporary fishing closure for Cuttlefish in the northern Spencer Gulf is in place until 15 February 2020.

Fishing closures
All cephalopods
There is no strong evidence to suggest that recent fishing activity has impacted the Giant Cuttlefish population. However a number of precautionary fisheries management measures have been undertaken to protect the cuttlefish while research continues.
A cephalopod fishing closure has protected the Point Lowly spawning area since 1998. This closure prohibits the capture of any cephalopods within the area at all time:
- cuttlefish
- squid
- octopus.
The area remains open to recreational and commercial fishers targeting other fish species.
Another temporary closure was implemented in March 2013. It prohibits the targeting and take of Giant Australian Cuttlefish.
Fishers are allowed to catch other cephalopods including Southern Calamari and Octopus within the area. Any Giant Cuttlefish inadvertently caught in the closure area must be immediately and carefully returned to the water.
The closure is in place until 15 February 2020.
Cuttlefish Working Group
The Cuttlefish Working Group was formed in 2012 to investigate and address the issues associated with the population and to provide advice to the Government regarding the ongoing protection and sustainability of this iconic species.
The working group has representatives from:
- Primary Industries and Regions South Australia (PIRSA)
- South Australian Research and Development Institute (SARDI)
- Department for Environment and Water (DEW)
- Environment Protection Authority (EPA)
- Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure (DPTI)
- South Australian Tourism Commission (SATC)
- Department for State Development (DSD)
- Whyalla City Council
- Conservation Council of South Australia
- University of Adelaide

It's been a little over five years since I moved from Birmingham, England, to Ventura County. While my accent still turns a few heads, I have only recently become a citizen of the United States.
Coming from a — for now — European country, the freedom to cross borders had always been a somewhat nonchalant affair for us Brits. Work a summer in the Swiss Alps or commute to Paris on the Eurostar; the freedom to live, work or seek a relationship between borders would not leave one with an expensive dose of anxiety, unlike here in the U.S.
When applying for a tourist "ESTA" visa on my first visit to the U.S. in 2011, I was asked whether between the years 1939 and 1945 I was directly involved with the Nazi government (I was born in 1991). But despite the perturbed questions, the trip introduced to me to my future husband. What romantic Hollywood movies don't tell you are the hoops and hurdles U.S. immigration have installed for fresh faced couples like us to live happily ever after.
Many months and many tears and papercuts from visa filing later, I arrived at LAX on Feb. 1, 2014, on a "K-1", otherwise known as a "fiancé visa," first applied for in April of 2013. We had spent thousands of dollars and forwarded every picture, letter and email between us to immigration as proof of our relationship to make it to this point, our wedding day — three weeks after my arrival. This was just phase one of a long chain of temporary visas and green cards we would apply for over the next five years.
I applied the first day I legally could to become a U.S. citizen — three years after our marriage. It was a no-brainer for me. I had applied for my 10-year green card months before my two-year green card had set to expire and, a year and a half later, I still hadn't received it. Sure, I had a somewhat official looking piece of paper from USCIS (U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services) to state that I was still legal but in the event of having to explain to law enforcement that a flimsy piece of paper which they'd probably never seen before meant I was a verified resident increased my anxiety drastically.
One year later, my citizenship was approved on the same day as my 10-year green card (then almost two years gone since first applying). Two months later and it rained the day of my oath ceremony (which was very British of it to do so). There were a wealth of people from all corners of the world there and despite the sea of umbrellas and damp coats, no one could stop smiling, it was as though you could hear the sighs of relief. And while our path to citizenship concluded in the auditorium of the Pasadena Convention Centre on Jan. 16, our individual journeys couldn't have been more different.
I'm a white ciswoman from another first-world western country, my native tongue is English, I got the first job I ever applied for when I moved here (full-time, full benefits) and got the first house we applied for and have lived a comfortable life ever since. This wasn't luck. A few weeks into my first job in the U.S. an older African-American male, upon hearing me pronounce the "t's in 'bottle," asked me the usual "where are you from" questions which I was regularly asked by customers. "Are they treating you well here, in the U.S.?" he wondered. "Yes, everyone's been super friendly," I responded. "Ah, well, of course" he chuckled to himself, "that's because you're a white girl".
While my own path to citizenship was a long, expensive and frustrating process at best, my privileges meant that it didn't take years or decades of worry to get to where I am today. I was unaffected by Trump's travel ban and able to fly back to the UK countless times to visit family and celebrate friends' weddings. I did not live in fear of ICE busting open my door in the middle of the night. I'm even able to still obtain my British status, making me a dual citizen.
If you're a resident of the U.S. and are thinking about applying for citizenship, prepare for a long ride. Though it's likely the journey you've already taken to get to where you are today has been much rockier.

#RootingForCarrots Pre-K Edition
This past Friday (October 16th) marked the beginning of my awesome mentorship with Little ones Learning Center. The director Wande' Meadows is super excited about Farm to Preschool at her school and you guessed it… SO AM I! We agreed on having me do super fun cooking demos, facilitating "Try it" days (taste tests with awesome stickers!) and garden activities. My 1st visit, we planted cabbages, broccoli, collards,
lettuce, spinach, kale, radish, beets and Georgia Organics carrots.
When we first arrived in the garden, after a brief intro of what we were to do, I learned that some of the students and even teachers had never been to the garden that lay in the very center of their site! This wouldn't be the first time I have encountered this, and I knew that I had to have extra patience for the newcomer, and make sure they knew all the magic that was to be discovered. So with this preschool group, I decided to plant cabbage and carrots so they could see and feel the difference between the BIG transplants and the teeny tiny seeds. We all made sure we dug our "cabbage houses" (holes) nice and deep. We tickled those cabbage feet so they could stretch out their legs (roots), and then we dropped them in their new home and covered them with healthy soil, so they'd be super warm and cozy. This planting was a healthy challenge for the itty bitty hands, but they got the job done and the teachers even helped out, including the self proclaimed "Girly Girl" teacher.
Next up… EXPLORING! After planting our very own veggies, we put our hands behind our backs and looked to see what everyone else had planted, which included lettuce and beets in one bed, and radishes and broccoli, among many others. Then someone spotted a…SUNFLOWER! Although it was indeed slumped and dried, don't fret- there was still a teaching moment here. I asked if anyone liked to eat sunflower seeds, and I got the biggest response from one of the teachers that had never visited the lovely garden. I plucked some seeds from the dried sunflower and I saw her eyes light up. "THOSE are sunflower seeds!" She had never seen them straight from the plant before! It was so awesome to see a real life connection with food happening, and to see that I could and would be a part of creating these moments with any and all interested. This is just one example of why I teach about real food- something that I feel like we all need, but so few of us know about.
This is a preview of all that is to come from this cute little learning center in Forest Park, GA, and I am so happy to be a part of such a hopeful, budding project. Basically its the start of Friday Fun-days with Ms. Shante' !

What is everyone craving this season? Warm dark chocolate and strong coffee. These heady fragrances are finding their way personal fragrances, home aromas, and beauty products.
Americans' affinity for coffee has led to a variety of fragrances inspired by this buzzy ingredient. Everyone from Britany Spears to Ralph Lauren launched a fragrance with coffee notes. The indie brand Kerosene launched a gourmand fragrance called Follow. There is a little research that suggests that just the smell of coffee does have an impact on our brains. Interestingly, in these studies, the smell had a calming effect on the brain.
As warmer scents continue to gain momentum, sophisticated gourmand fragrances with a focus on dark chocolate are emerging.Thierry Mugler's Angel perfume launched Angel Mugler x La Maison du Chocolat. This is particularly inspired by it's packaging with luxury chocolates - genius!
We see this warm trend in our guest creations. These enveloping, personal scent blends are made of comforting scents with spicey notes.
Blends worth a whiff:
- Dark Chocolate, Jasmine, and Cinnamon
- Dark Chocolate, Patchouli, and vanilla
- Coffee, Orange Zest, and Mahogany
- Whiskey, Leather, Hot Cocoa, Caramel, and Coffee
If you want warm & comforting scent blends or to keep up with the trends - these blends are worth a try!

Inspiring women: Tamara Rajah
Helping to alleviate the daily suffering of thousands of cancer patients, Rajah's e-commerce start-up has attracted over £2m investment…
Name: Tamara Rajah
Founded: Live Better With in August 2015
Start-up elevator pitch: Live Better With is an e-commerce platform retailing products which help to ease the day-to-day symptoms and side-effects suffered by cancer patients.
Industry: Healthcare
Funding raised: £2.3m
Follow her: @Tamara_Rajah
Who is Tamara Rajah?
Before founding Live Better With, scientist Rajah spent ten years working in healthcare between the UK and the US. As a consultant, she would work with patients, doctors and nurses, and also took her expertise to government level, examining the country's care strategies for long-term conditions such as cancer.
Rajah saw that people suffering from cancer would receive advanced medical treatment, but for their day-to-day symptoms and side effects – such as brain fog, a sore mouth, itching, nausea, hair loss and pain – she saw that there was no care system in place.
This struck a chord with Rajah, whose grandfather had unfortunately suffered from lung cancer. During this time Rajah saw first-hand the side effects he'd experienced while undergoing treatment. Through her research, Rajah found that there were hundreds of products such as mobility aids, books and balms available to help ease these symptoms, but that patients either had no access to them or simply didn't know they existed.
Determined to fix this, Rajah built an online platform that would educate patients, their loved ones and their carers on products that alleviate daily discomfort, offering reviews and enabling people to purchase them.
How has she won over investors?
Perhaps unsurprisingly for such a well-needed service, Live Better With attracted 156,000 visitors in its first six months, and has gone on to retain thousands of customers. Having launched in the US in February 2016, the site is going from strength to strength; including securing a partnership with Marie Curie later in that year.
But it was before this that Rajah met with venture capital platform Forward Partners.
Though the platform hadn't yet launched, Forward Partners chose to invest £250,000 in Live Better With based on Rajah's thorough research, which highlighted the big opportunity she had found.
Rajah has gone on to clinch £25,000 in MassChallenge Gold prize money, and in August 2016 completed an impressive £2m seed funding round led by Fig, with participation from Downing Ventures, Forward Partners and the London Co Investment Fund (LCIF).

I think every parent has a crystal-clear vision of what they want to pass on to their children. Unfortunately many of the things we pass on we have no control over. This became very apparent this past week during our trip to Big Bend National Park in the southwestern part of Texas.
To understand the significance of my story you must know a little about the Big Bend area. On the website there is a quote that depicts it perfectly. "A land of strong beauty—often savage and always imposing." The park is 800,000 acres of Chihuahuan dessert and Chisos Mountains with altitudes that range from approximately 1,800 feet along the river to 7,800 feet. The Rio Grande River flows along the southern part of the park serving as the dividing boundary between the United States and the Republic of Mexico. Dramatic differences can be seen in the climate, animals, and plants as you move from the dessert to the mountains. The pictures were mostly taken by my son-in-law; they give you some idea of the massive amount of untamed and magnificent country.
On Monday of last week we met our daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter in the park. We spent the first two days exploring the park and surrounding area in the truck. It gave us lots of time to visit and get to know our daughter as a mom, and our son-in-law as a dad. Getting to know my children in these roles always makes me very reflective of my role as a parent. I guess some day they will do the same. Hopefully the good times will standout and the mistakes will be taken as lessons learned.
On the third day my daughter and her husband had an overnight backpacking trip planned to the summit of Emery Peak. It was obvious that there had been a great deal of planning and preparation done to get ready for the trip. The packs were equipped with the necessary clothing, emergency supplies, and food. The evening before the couple got their respective pack out and double checked the contents. They would eat breakfast before they left, and then they had couscous, mashed potatoes, power bars, and trail mix for the hike. While arranging their packs, the daughter mentioned she would make a couple of sandwiches for the hike. Her husband stated he thought they had plenty of food and that wouldn't be necessary. The conversation continued back and forth for some time with the ending statement from my daughter being "I know you lose your appetite when you hike but I'm not going hungry". This is when the light came on and I knew this was my doing, it runs in our family. Hunger Phobia, or the fear of hunger. My sister, daughter, two sons and I must always know where the next meal will be coming from. I'm sure none of us have ever gone hungry and why we are this way I do not know. When making plans for anything the first thing we do is plan where and what we will be eating. Take care of the important stuff first! If food is not readily available or easily attainable the appetite and preoccupation with what we will eat increases. Even my cat becomes restless and begs if she can see the bottom of her bowl. I'm sure she thinks that a famine is pending. I understood exactly my daughters concern.
Early the next morning the two left for their hike. About 2pm the sky became very dark and by 4pm it was raining with an incredible lighting storm. I became increasingly concerned because of the constant lightning. I also knew that my daughter would be anxious and nervous because of the lightning. This I also passed on to my children. Astraphobia, the fear of lightning and thunder. During their childhood I tried to be very careful and stifle my anxiety during thunder and lightning storms. Obviously, I was much more transparent than I thought.
Around 10 am they returned wet, tired, and very hungry. They had reached their destination and the hike had gone well until the lightning and rain started. They were trapped in a very small two-man tent with lightning hitting all around them. I can only imagine the tension and apprehension in those close quarters at an elevation of 7,825 feet. The power bars and trail mix were consumed but no mashed potatoes or couscous because they required cooking. Lightning and little food, what could make the situation worse? How about 2.2 inches of rain in 7 hours. That is a lot of rain for the park.
The experience will make a great story to tell over the years. I'm sure the experience did nothing to improve my daughter's trepidation over lightning and the next time she wants' to take an extra sandwich with her, no amount of chiding will change her mind. And I'm sure my son-in-law would prefer to not be caught with his wife, her two brothers, and mother in a lightning storm. If he does, he better bring plenty of food!

I couldn't help but to add one last post to my LA travel diary. This was another unexpected photoshoot. I stayed at my Airbnb close to downtown LA, surrounded by some really nice houses. I was on my way to have a late lunch and passed by a street full of charming little condos nestled between palms and lemon trees. I had to stop and capture this enchanting neighborhood.
I bought this sundress by Ecote long time ago, thinking that I would wear it on my next trip to California. It is lightweight, casual, yet can look chic with the right shoes and accessories. Ecote is a collection sold at Urban Outfitters, one of my favorite places to shop. Their collection mostly consists of soft gauzy fabrics with a boho twist and relaxed fit with lots of airy tops and breezy dresses.
I want to shine a light on a style expression that has no borders and I hope it makes your day brighter.

Balance August 21 2013, 0 Comments
|Great style is all about balance.
Balance of textures
Balance of color
Balance of lengths.
Balance of masculine and feminine
Lets say you bought a new dress. It's
very simple in design, but it's very
savvy and it looks terrific on, so you'd
like to jazz it up a bit.
Let's add some texture…..a beautiful
pair of hosiery.
Add a dash of color……..a
necklace or a great oversized ring
w/some color in it.
For a day look….If the dress is short,
above the knee….. I always
recommend a taller boot. If the dress
happens to be bellow the knee, that's
when a heel looks
Never any taller then two inch heels
for the day. (Psst…I will be addressing
hemlines and footwear a bit more in
depth in my next edition).
Now if your dressing for the
evening or a special event, you have
more flexibility to dress a bit more
alluring, especially on a date.
Which by the way ladies, I always think
it's more appropriate to be your sexist
when you have a man on your arm,
then let's say when your going out with
the girls.
Also when styling an outfit, focus on
the one piece that has the most detail,
whether it's a dress or top with ruffles,
a plunging neckline, an extra large flair
in the bottom of a pant, or quite
possibly the fabric is the feature, very
textured, all metallic…etc.
When you pinpoint what that may be,
you can style your accessories and
footwear around that….
Balance, simplicity.
Another thing to remember about bal-
ance that seems to always apply nicely
is…..if your outfit has a particular sex
appeal in one area….perhaps a very
low cut front…..complete the other
half with a more conservative
approach. If your aching to wear a very
special pair of heels, whether in a
boot or a shoe….keep the top part
more conservative….a high
neck-line…a button front shirt w/
only a couple of buttons open.
Acquiring a nice sense of
when dressing does
eventually become spontaneous.

Each year TEK conducts a labour market survey to determine the salary levels and other terms of employment of its members.
The survey findings are analysed by the educational background of members, years of employment, job characteristics, etc.
Salary Surveyor for members: Salary Surveyor draws salary curves according to your variable selections. The regression models are based on TEK's annual salary survey.
Salaries by position 2019 (pdf)
Salaries by field of study 2019 (pdf)
Starter salary recommendation for recent graduates
Recommended salaries for trainees
For more information contact palkat(ät)tek.fi or +358 (0)9 229 121.
Tips for salary discussions
It is also a good idea to take a look at your industry's salary statistics. As a TEK member, TEK's Salary Surveyor service and other salary statistics are available to you. You can also contact the salary counselling service palkat(ät)tek.fi or +358 (0)9 229 121. There are also other parties, such as Statistics Finland and the Confederation of Finnish Industries EK, that publish salary statistics.
TEK experts also provide personal salary counselling for TEK members. Salary counselling will help you especially with matters related to salary statistics, income level and salary negotiations. You can contact salary counselling, for instance, when you are thinking about a suitable salary request for a job you are applying for, when you want to check your current income level or need tips for salary negotiations. In legal matters related to salaries (e.g. holiday bonuses, holiday pay, paying salary at the end of an employment relationship, overtime compensations), you can contact our lawyers.
Salary counselling is primarily based on the Salary Surveyor and other salary statistics by TEK. The data for these statistics are collected annually from our labour market survey. TEK experts also have access to some foreign salary statistics.
The best way to contact salary counselling is by e-mail at palkat(ät)tek.fi or by telephone on +358 (0)9 229 121. We will respond to your e-mail as soon as possible, usually within 1–2 working days. If your matter is urgent, please mention this in your request for contact. If the salary counsellor is not available to take your call, you can leave a message requesting them to call you back.
You will receive quicker service if you provide some background information about yourself and your job or the job you're applying for:
- describe the job in a few words: title, most important duties, position in the organisation, supervisory responsibilities
- information about the employer: industry, number of employees
- location of the workplace: Helsinki Metropolitan Area or elsewhere in Finland
- your educational background: degree, degree programme and year of graduation
- any relevant work experience (other than summer jobs, traineeships or doing your thesis) before graduation
- information about your current income level is also useful
Every year TEK, together with the other member organisations of the Delegation of Professional and Managerial Employees (YTN), negotiates collective agreements on the level of salaries and the terms of employment for the majority of their members in private sector.
In larger companies there is often a local association, or at least a contact person, who will give you information about terms of employment in your company.
The benefits of the members working in the state or municipal sector are taken care of by the Finnish Negotiation Organisation for Academic Professionals in the Public Sector (JUKO). You can receive further information about the terms of employment and other questions dealing with the public sector from TEK's lawyers.

Our Rebbe Shlomo lives on. The influence of the tzadik in our world is even greater from the next world, the world of truth. Shlomo, thank G-d, has left us a great heritage. During his 70 incredibly full years he spent hundreds of thousands of hours reaching millions with his teachings. Fortunately, many of those hours were recorded.
This book brings a small sampling of some of his teachings. They are being transmitted to us by a young man who was raised from birth in the home of Shlomo Chassidim. His efforts give great nachas [satisfaction] to his family and his Rebbe, Shlomo, ZT"L. It was completed in a miraculously short time, with the bracha of the holy Amshinover Rebbe. The Amshinover is widely quoted as saying of Rebbe Shlomo: "I'm envious of his place in the World of Truth."
Shlomo was a giant of a hidden tzadik. He gave so much to so many. And now they, in turn, feel inspired and impelled to carry on his great work of loving all of G-d's creations and drawing people closer to Torah.
May we all carry our share, may this little book carry its share, and may we all joyously experience Messianic times in our lives.
Joshua H. Ritchie, M.D.
