Part 1 of 3
No, not the T and A of the B movies -- this is about your thyroid and adrenals. You hear so much about DNA and genes determining your health. Genes are important, but they are not destiny. They can serve you or work against you, based on the status of your thyroid and your adrenals.
When these glands are out of sync, you struggle just to get through the day, everyone seems to drive you crazy, and no matter what you cut from your diet, the muffin top keeps growing.
This first installment in this three-part series will give you an overview of these glands and how central they are to your sanity. The second installment will allow you to understand the connections between them and your DNA, and the third installment will give you some guidelines to get them firing on all cylinders, so you can rock your mission.
Meet Your T and A
These glands work side by side with your ovaries or testicles or both, if you're so blessed.
- Weight gain
- Fatigue
- Hair loss
- Dry skin
- Intolerance of cold temperatures
- Constipation
- Hoarseness
- Depression
- Irregular menstrual cycles
- Weight gain
- Fatigue
- Sugar cravings
- Salt cravings
- Anxiety
- Insomnia
- Poor stress tolerance
- Muscle cramps and weakness
- Low or erratic blood pressure
Where is your thyroid, and what does it look like? Imagine a bow tie. The size of it, the shape of it, and where it sits on the neck are all good approximations of your thyroid. Your adrenals are a little more hidden. They live inside your back, on top of each of your kidneys, and each is a lump of tissue about the size of a large blueberry.
Your thyroid gland makes three active thyroid hormones, called T4, T3 and T2. These hormones control how quickly your body converts food to energy and how quickly you repair your hair, skin, nails, cartilage and intestinal lining. [1]
The adrenals make over 50 hormones with the top billing going to cortisol, DHEA, and aldosterone. [2] These hormones control lots of important things, including your:
- Stress response
- Blood sugar
- Blood pressure
- Inflammation
- Immune system
- Fluid balance
- Reproductive hormones
- Cycle of waking and sleeping
- Body weight
As important as these glands are, why would anything ever go wrong with them? This is an area where the two differ greatly. Your thyroid's kryptonite is your own immune system, and the adrenals' main problem is they try too hard to keep up.
Your immune system tries to guard you from dangerous things, like streptococcus bacteria or influenza viruses. If your immune system is not sure if something is a friend or foe, its usual response is to attack rather than ignore. When your immune system attacks something from outside of you that is harmless, you have an allergy. Some allergies are a minor nuisance, like seasonal allergies; others are life threatening, like peanut reactions. The immune system can also be driven to attack something harmless that belongs inside you. This is called autoimmune disease, and that is how most thyroid disease starts.
Our current understanding is that a perfect storm occurs involving genes, the environment and the immune system. Thyroid disease clusters in families, and everyone has some level of exposure to chemicals that could trigger thyroid disease. The genes determine whether or not these chemicals will build up in the thyroid. The last piece is immune stress. If someone has an ongoing infection, bad allergies or unhealthy digestive flora, that can trigger the immune attack against the chemical-laden thyroid. When this attack damages the gland, it becomes unable to provide enough hormones to meet the body's needs. The most common version of this is called Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. Healing Hashimoto's involves two things: 1) undoing the steps that gave rise to it (as much as possible) and 2) helping the body regulate the amount of thyroid hormones present, since the thyroid is not doing a great job at it.
So, since thyroid disease is driven by a mistaken immune system, what goes wrong with the adrenals? The exact same thing can happen in the cases of Addison disease or Cushing syndrome, but these are both rare, affecting only a few people per million.
Since the adrenals manage stress, they prepare your body to perform harder in life or death situations. We call this the "fight or flight response" or the "stress response." If this happens every now and then, it is likely good for us. The problem is that modern life is fraught with things that don't really endanger us, but trick the adrenals into turning on the fight or flight switch. Not only is staying in the stress state dangerous, but there is a vicious cycle: The more we are in it, the easier it is triggered.
This triggering involves the adrenal glands, as well as the adrenal-regulating glands in the brain, the pituitary and the hypothalamus. This system is referred to as the Hypothalamic Pituitary Adrenal axis (HPA axis for short). When the HPA axis has gone into stress mode so much that it only takes the slightest provocation to set it off, we call this HPA dysfunction or adrenal dysfunction.
Mind you, adrenal dysfunction is not a disease, like thyroid disease. It is an exaggerated and unhealthy adaptation to stress. This distinction is important because correcting adrenal dysfunction is less about manipulating the amount of adrenal hormones in the body and more about lowering the number of stress triggers and raising the body's resilience.

Pitt Town Public School parents concerned about traffic safety in 'kiss and drop' zone
A GROUP of parents and members of the P&C are concerned about safety regarding traffic around Pitt Town Public School's 'kiss and drop' zone.
Jessica Immer, whose son is in kindergarten, said "we don't want to wait for a parent punch-up or an injured child before something happens".
According to Ms Immer, the street in front of the school is a "death trap", with "buses driving straight across the crossing", and "parents overtaking other parents on the crossing".
"Some of it can probably be blamed on a handful of parents but it is also a narrow and dangerous street and a growing school," she said.
"We have a kiss and drop zone that needs to be moved to the back gate to create a safer space and the bus stop needs to be worked on.
"If moved to the back the current kiss and drop needs to be changed from no parking to no stopping - it is possibly the biggest part of the problem.
"The Department of Education are seriously dragging their feet even after numerous complaints from previous principals, current principals and parents."
P&C president, Rachael Young, said she had been involved with the school for 10 years and during this time the number of pupils attending had grown exponentially, however the infrastructure around the school in terms of traffic management had remained unchanged.
We don't want to wait for a parent punch-up or an injured child before something happens.
"The school has doubled in that time and I've seen a lot of issues with traffic," Ms Young said.
"What we need is Council out here to take us seriously and give us some options; we want to know what will work for our kids."
Hawkesbury Council acting manager community services, Meagan Ang, said Council staff were aware of the concerns of the Pitt Town school community.
"Council is in discussion with the school about the traffic around the school on the Council owned roads of Buckingham Street and Fernadell Drive," Ms Ang said.
"Council had a previously scheduled meeting with the school, however due to other emerging issues, the school had to postpone the meeting and a further meeting is now being rescheduled. A new date is yet to be confirmed.
"Council is willing to meet with members of the school community about options to improve pedestrian safety around the school. However, the meeting has to be held in conjunction with the School Principal as any safety matters for the school must be dealt with in association with the Principal.
"Council's regulatory staff also conduct random but regular surveillance of school crossings to monitor road safety around schools."

- Modify output video quality optionÂ
This is the first option to look at. Switch to Video options tab and move "Output video quality" slider to the left values (low quality).Â
- Convert to Flash MX formatÂ
SWF Flash MX format is more advanced than Flash 3+ one and results in much smaller output file size and better quality. However, to be able to view the resulting Flash movie, you and your clients need Macromedia Flash player version 6 or above to be installed. In order to select SWF Flash MX option switch to Output options tab and select corresponding radio-button option.
- Reduce audio qualityÂ
By decreasing Sampling and bit rates (moving sliders to the left side of the gauge) you can save few more bytes of the disk space. Additionally, you may convert incoming stereo audio stream into a mono track: for the home-made video clips, for instance, you will not notice the difference between the two.

Also, the premier lauded the great progress in the Egyptian handball game, which saw Egypt's U 19 team clinch the 2019 U-19 Handball Youth World Championship in Macedonia few days ago.
The cabinet's meeting touched on the success of this year hajj season, thanks to great efforts exerted by the different state bodies to provide good services for Egyptian pilgrims.
Meanwhile, Petroleum Minister Tareq el Molla said Egypt is currently witnessing the highest production rate of natural gas, pointing out that the production capacity of Zohr field increased to 2.7 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day.
For his part, the agriculture minister said they are coordinating with a number of bodies to market the surplus of agricultural products.
Moreover, the electricity minister said the the government focuses on power-linkage projects with neighboring states, which in turn could help Egypt become a regional energy hub for the Eastern Mediterranean region.

Growth in Prayer and Reflective Living
October 2015 - April 2016
Thursday evenings, 7 - 9.30 pm
facilitated by...
Christchurch Centre, 6a Morningside Road, Edinburgh
This course aims to help participants develop and deepen their experience of prayer and live more reflectively. It offers opportunity to explore faith, discover meaning and come to a deeper, closer relationship with God.
The course fee is £340 but no one should feel excluded due to the cost as bursaries are available.
The method is primarily experience based and reflective. Sessions include input, space for prayer, guided pray and reflection, and small group sharing. In addition to the weekly group meetings participants are offered the opportunity of one to one spiritual accompaniment. Toward the end of the course there is a short non-residential retreat. After the course, an optional five week Retreat in Daily Life is offered through May for those wanting to deepen their experience further.
The course is open to those of any denomination and none. No particular experience of prayer is required, only a desire for God. Participants should be prepared to share some of their experience of prayer with others. Because of the participatory nature of the course, it is important that there is a commitment to attend regularly.
The team leading the course will be Dot McLaughlin, Sharon Laidlaw, Di Hollow and Claire Starr. The team are all members of the Epiphany Group - an ecumenical group of women and men working across Scotland committed to ministries arising form the Ignation Spiritual Exercises.
Leaflets with further information are available in Priory Lane. Please contact Kevan McLaughlin if you are interested in taking the course.

Missile Defense Test Fails
A sea-based missile defense system failed its first test since the Bush administration outlined plans to have a rudimentary program ready for use by 2005, Defense Department officials said.
Wednesday's test over the Pacific Ocean followed a series of successful strikes over the past 2½ years, and it was the first failure among four sea-based tests.
For the test, a Standard Missile-3 interceptor fired from the USS Lake Erie cruiser was tracking an Aries target missile launched from the Pacific Missile Range Facility on Kauai — a feat likened to trying to hit a bullet with a bullet.
After the miss, the two rockets crashed into the ocean.
Preliminary data showed that the interceptor's guidance system had detected the target, Defense spokesman Chris Taylor said.
"You test a little, you learn a lot and you continue to go forward. This is rocket science," he said.
Under the Bush administration plans, announced in December, 20 Standard Missile-3 interceptors would be placed aboard three Navy ships with improved versions of the Aegis system that uses radar to detect hostile missiles and cue on-board weapons to intercept them.
This sea-based system, known as the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense, was outlawed under the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty, but President Bush gained the flexibility of testing it when the United States withdrew from the treaty last summer.
The president's plan also calls for the development of 20 ground-based missile interceptors, which would be placed in Alaska and California, known as the Ground-Based Midcourse Defense. Advanced Patriot missiles will also be deployed.
The ship and ground based defenses due to be rolled out first are geared to "killing" enemy missiles in mid-flight — after they have entered orbit from their launch-pads and before they have began to descend toward their target. The Patriot system hits them on their way down.
Beyond 2005, the Pentagon envisions expanding its layered missile defense so that it can attack enemy missiles are all stages in flight.
This would include a laser to knock out missiles soon after launch, as well as a Theater High Altitude Area Defense to hit missiles on their final descent.
Wednesday's test was the fourth trial of the ship-based system; the previous three drills have succeeded. In eight tests of the ground-based system, there have been four successes and four failures.
After the last failure in December 2002, the Missile Defense Agency said it would postpone two additional tests scheduled for winter and spring 2003.
It was decided that no tests were needed until work was done on a new booster rocket for the missile interceptor. Problems with boosters have been blamed for two of the four ground-based failures.
Tests of the ground-based system cost about $100 million apiece.
The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that through 2015, the entire program will cost $49 billion.
According to the Missile Defense Agency, there are plans to spend about $3 billion over the next ten years on the ground-based system. Aegis development will cost $2.5 billion, and high-altitude defenses about $3 billion.

Hopping BackwardPermanent link All Posts
As American grocery stores and pharmacies continue to inundate consumers with pastel eggs and bunnies in anticipation of Easter, Israel has just ushered in a new bunny of its own. Playboy magazine launched its first Hebrew-language edition March 5 in Tel Aviv.
The Jerusalem Post quoted attorney Daniel Pomerantz, an Israeli immigrant from Chicago and Playboy Israel's CEO, as saying he envisioned Playboy's Hebrew edition launch as an opportunity to bring fun, fashion and serious debate, "all the things that Playboy stands for," to Israel.
"Israel is taking another step into the community of regular nations with the debut of Playboy Israel, an all-Hebrew glossy monthly complete with nude photos of Israeli women, sports, style advice, political interviews and a mission to mentor Israeli masculinity," said Jerusalem Post writer Niv Elis in the same article.
The English-language version of Playboy magazine has been available in Israel for years. Now, Israelis have an all-Hebrew version of the monthly magazine with Israeli models.
It's worth questioning, however, why Playboy, with its ever-shrinking print readership, would target a small-scale country with a religiously influenced government. What impact is the company truly hoping to make with this small and divided population?
Playboy's originator, Hugh Hefner, who founded the magazine in 1953, is quoted across media publications, saying he sees the Israeli launch as an affirmation of Israel's shared values in freedom of speech, freedom of choice and freedom of the press.
"I am equally pleased that so many of the core values of the magazine are also the core values of the country and the society that has so graciously invited us to be a part of its cultural landscape," said Hefner, according to the Post.
Some Americans credit Playboy for playing a positive role in the sexual liberation movement of the 1960s and 1970s, while others criticize its negative effects on gender equality.
"Marketing Playboy 'b'aretz' will be a tough sell. There's a precedent of failure for imported American pornography in Israel," according to a Jspace.com article."Penthouse had a very unholy existence in the Holy Land, lasting only… between 1989 and 1993. And that is to say nothing of two strong contingents within Israeli society that will certainly oppose the venture on moral and ethical grounds: religious groups and progressives/feminists."
Jezebel.com columnist Hugo Schwyzer also said Israel's stance on nudity and modesty is complex.
"Part of that complexity is an increasingly nasty division between secular and religious society," Schwyzer said. "The so-called ultra-Orthodox have begun enforcing Talibanesque modesty codes in some neighborhoods, even beating young women who show too much skin, while more moderate rabbis have called for a ban on female models in public advertisements.
At the same time, some secular politicians, emboldened by slight gains in the recent elections, are demanding that the government do more to protect the rights of women in public spaces," Schwyzer added," as well as improve the dismal percentage of women in Israel's judiciary."
I conferred with my Israeli friend, whom I met during my Birthright trip a few years back, and he certainly had a good laugh over Hef's claim of common core values between Playboy and Israel. Further, he expressed doubts about Playboy's future success in the Holy Land, citing that most Israelis consume pornography via the Internet, as Americans do. He pointed out that the Playboy Channel's launch in Israel years back wasn't incredibly successful.
My Israeli friend found additional—perhaps simpler—problems with Playboy Israel's launch. He theorized that Playboy will be hard-pressed to find Israeli women who will be willing to model for the magazine, simply because Israel is a small country—and, there's nowhere to hide once one has modeled nude.
Jezebel.com's Schwyzer quotes Pomerantz describing the magazine as "complex" and "beautiful"--"the perfect fit for a country as complex and beautiful as Israel."
You can dress the bunny up in high brow language and different colored bunny costumes—but what are we really talking about here? Pornography. Playboy can make grandiose claims about reinforcing democratic values of free speech through its print publication filled with fun, fashion and serious debate. But let's be honest, publications like Playboy make progress difficult for women everywhere, and it's not about to pay Israeli women any favors. The over-sexualization of women in America is not something to be emulated. I don't view Israel adopting and further integrating an American model for objectifying women into their culture as a positive step forward—maybe it's two bunny hops back.

The Malahat First Nation and Steelhead LNG are proposing a floating liquefied natural gas processing facility offshore in Saanich Inlet. It would be capable of processing six million tonnes of natural gas annually.
Cost of the project, the pipeline that will need to be built to bring gas to the Island for the Malahat LNG plant and Steelhead's other proposed LNG plant near Port Alberni, and the financial consideration paid to the Malahat First Nation as part of a mutual benefits agreement were not disclosed.
The project would see a floating LNG facility built on the foreshore at the Bamberton site, which the Malahat First Nation bought last month.
Malahat First Nation CEO Lawrence Lewis said benefits are already starting to flow to the area as a result of the deal, but he stressed the project is in its early stages and it's unlikely there would be anything built on the site for at least five years. "This is another step forward and another indication that the nation is open for business," he said.
The announcement was received with both surprise and bewilderment from area residents, many of whom only heard about the project the day before.
Lori Iannidinardo, who grew up in Mill Bay and is now the Cowichan Valley Regional District director for Cowichan Bay, said the first she heard of it was online on Wednesday.
"I'm absolutely caught off guard and absolutely surprised," she said.
Iannidinardo said she expects as the community hears of the proposal, there will be plenty of outrage and protest.
Adam Olsen, interim leader of the B.C. Green Party and a member of the Tsartlip First Nation which looks across Saanich Inlet at the Bamberton site, said the fact few people knew about the plan until a news conference was announced is concerning.
"They are 13 months into the process and this is the first we're catching word of it? That's a problem. There are four First Nations that need to be consulted across the way, and as a member of one of those I'm staunchly against this," he said.
However, Olsen does not believe the project will ever see the light of day.
"It's not a project I see happening," he said.

Originally being from St. Louis, I am often asked this question. As with most questions there is no blanket answer. For the most part I would answer YES. Fort Myers FL homes are undeniable bargains. As an investment vehicle or as a vacation or retirement home absolutely, YES. My only reservation would be for those who want to relocate and find local employment. The factors that have combined to depress real estate values include unemployment rates in excess of 13%. The decline in real estate values and joblessness go hand in hand. There have been record home sales in the past three months and I fully expect that as a result the first positive trend in unemployment in years is just around the corner. This area has always been driven by tourism and construction and with those industries suffering the area's economy suffers.
Until now the biggest segment of foreclosures has been low end homes. Much activity has centered in Cape Coral and Lehigh Acres. The trend is now moving to more expensive homes in those communities and in Fort Myers. Investors were the first to fold as a result of over leverage. Now the effects are being felt among those in primary residences. Anyway, you get the point. Fort Myers FL homes are a true value for those with the ability to buy and own them. Nobody has a crystal ball but I look at current prices, current rents, and the ability to cash flow on investment properties, along with the potential for gains in 3 to 5 years and find it hard to be pessimistic.

3D printing is turning heads these days, especially with do-it-yourselfers. Y Combinator startup Matterport has invented a small scanner, pictured above, that can scan any space or object and create a 3D model.
"We turn reality into 3D models and our scanner is 20 times faster and 18 times cheaper than any other tool on the market," says Matterport co-founder Michael Beebe, "We are creating fundamentally new technology, like the steam engine or the car."
Best of all, no precision is needed. With a wave of the hand, the device smartly scans the environment and understands the shapes, features, and placement of everything it scans.
Beebe showed off the technology at Y Combinator's Demo Day. The team highlighted that its scanner is currently being used in the construction, film making, and real estate industries.
Beyond just scanning a room, the implications for a 3D scanner can be quite cool. You could scan any object of your choosing and send the model to a 3D printer to get a 3D replica of virtually anything in the world. Excuse me while I go scan the new iPad and make a replica.
Matterport is one of 39 companies presenting at Y Combinator's Demo Day Spring 2012 event. Check out other cool companies making their debut here.

It is not uncommon for people who struggle with their cholesterol to take medications to help keep it under control. Cholesterol drugs fall under the category of statin medications, which are a group of drugs whose primary function is to reduce fat levels, including cholesterol, in the body. However, these pharmaceutically created drugs, as helpful as they can be, have their downsides.
The problem with any statin medication is that they deplete the coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), which is a critical nutrient to the body's overall health. CoQ10 is found in and used by essentially every cell in the body, though their presence is primarily concentrated in the heart and liver. What makes this nutrient so vital to our bodies' wellbeing is its major role in energy production and muscle function. It also provides additional help in the realm of conditions like blood pressure, angina (a condition in which the person suffers severe chest pain), and congestive heart failure (2).
The consequences that result from a CoQ10 depletion range from fatigue, to muscle pain, to even potential liver problems. Therefore, it is extremely important that our bodies maintain the proper levels of CoQ10 (2).
Luckily there is a simple solution to combatting the side effects of these cholesterol drugs while still letting them do their main job, and that is to supplement your diet with a daily dose of CoQ10 (2). There are many options when it comes to this, as CoQ10 can be found in a variety of foods. It is found primarily in oily fish, like salmon and tuna, organ meats, like liver, and whole grains. Without the inconvenience of cholesterol drugs depleting the naturally gained CoQ10 levels in our bodies, we normally consume enough of it simply through maintaining a balanced diet. However, when it comes to balancing out cholesterol with CoQ10, it may be advised that you take a supplement. Besides, CoQ10 is helpful in many other areas as well, such as in recovery from a heart attack, managing high blood pressure, treating heart failure, improving conditions of diabetes, and preventing gum disease, so it's quite a worthwhile investment (1).
Though CoQ10 can be commonly found in pure pill form, there are also some forms of the supplement that are actually considered real food. And just like with most nutrients, the CoQ10 ingested via food will be even more active in the body than that just consumed from a pill (2).
Despite the fact that managing our cholesterol can ultimately create other problems, there are easy ways to fight back and win both battles. But as always, it is recommended that you first consult with a doctor if you have any concerns about your cholesterol or the side effects its medication may be causing you.

After we brought you news last month that a traditional Gomeran dish was voted Spain's number one gastronomic wonder, a newly rechristened restaurant at the Hotel Jardín Tecina is set to embrace the national cuisine. Formerly known as the International Restaurant, the new Gara Restaurant will serve a range of local dishes to give guests the opportunity to sample a flavour of La Gomera and the rest of the Canary Islands.
Named after one-half of the legendary couple who have given their names to the island's national park, the Gara Restaurant is likely to serve delicacies such as papas con mojo and bienmesabe. There will also be some fantastic local wines to help wash down these regional delights. The restaurant is open for breakfast between 7am and 10am, as well as in the evenings.
Eco Finca Tecina
Another great initiative recently launched by the hotel is Eco Finca Tecina. This is an organic garden project which involves a patch of land being dedicated to growing organic and eco-friendly produce. There are 19 plots altogether, totalling 9,500 square metres, which have now become home to various vegetables, herbs and fruits that are responsibly sourced.
Still in its early stages, the garden is already providing home grown products for guests to enjoy in the buffet restaurant and there are plans to create an entire organic menu for the Club Laurel Restaurant around the food that is already flourishing. You'll be able to trace the ingredients from the garden right to your table and even visit the eco finca yourself on one of the tours that take place every Tuesday morning.
If you would like any more information about the bars and restaurants at the Hotel Jardín Tecina, contact us today. These two new experiences are sure to give you an authentic taste of this fantastic island.

A customer favorite. A set of custom made matching gold stacking bands inspired by the Wolf Moon and the medieval story by Marie de France of Bisclavret. I created this crescent moon phase ring, with the full moon marked by a black diamond in the center.
This set is cast in 14k green gold, which is close to the ancient alloy known as 'electrum', made of near equal parts gold and silver.
Stacks beautifully with other rings or can easily stand alone... Wear with love.

Trinidad Chinese cuisine is a popular style of food resulting from a fusion of Chinese and West Indian cuisines. Trinidad food itself is a mixture of African, British, Indian, Spanish, French and Portuguese cooking style. Wondering why there is such diverse mixture of cooking styles in Trinidad? Well in 1834, the black British slaves working in the Caribbean colonies were freed. That eventually created a labor vacuum that was filled by indentured laborers from India and Africa.

Sold Out
Gaspari Nutrition is proud to introduce their latest in their long line of excellent products with their new Hyper Amino. Designed to deliver exactly as its name promises, it takes the tried and true amino acids you've come to love and packs then with energy for the discerning athlete. Make no mistake; Gaspari Nutrition Hyper Amino is more than just another BCAA with some caffeine thrown in for good measure. They have taken a stagnant category and upped the ante to not only give you a potent muscle building aminos, but a clean, hard hitting energy boost that is delivered in flavors designed to quench the "hard to please" athlete's thirst.
Hyper Amino was designed to be used in a variety of ways including as a standalone pre-workout due to the energy component, during the workout to provide a 'pick-me-up' from the stimulants and anabolic properties from the aminos or it can be used any time during the day as a health conscious choice for an energy boost.
These amino acids can't be synthesized in the body and must be supplemented; They are the building blocks of proteins in the body and utilized for normal cell functioning and repair for all the tissues
Not all Amino Acid product are created equally! While many may share similar ingredients, the amounts of each amino acid within the formula dictate how beneficial the product will be. The most impactful amino acids are those that directly combat muscle catabolism (or muscle wasting), and Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA's) have been shown to be the most effective at this by a wide margin. HyperAmino® includes higher levels of BCAA's than the competition by providing 24.3% more L-Leucine and 43.6% more L-Isoleucine than the leading energy amino competitor.
Beyond providing more BCAA's, HyperAmino® also includes the best L-Glutamine on the market — Ajinomoto fermented and vegan friendly L-Glutamine. Gaspari's HyperAmino® contains not only a superior L-Glutamine, but 35.3% more than the leading energy amino competitor. A high dose of L-Glutamine is integral to an amino acid product as L-Glutamine has been shown to reduce muscle damage during training by reducing serum ammonia (a toxic byproduct of exercise that eats away at muscle tissue) levels, allowing your body to recover from intense exercise at a faster rate.
HyperAmino® not only offers you more of the amino acids your body actually needs to directly increase performance, but simultaneously includes only the necessary amounts of sulfur-containing amino acids like Taurine (which does not belong to the traditional group of 20 proteingenic (muscle protein synthesis enhancing) amino acids to support hydration unlike the leading energy amino competitor. Offering 50.4% less than that found in the leading energy amino competitor, HyperAmino® provides your body with clinically proven and validated amino acids for muscle growth and support, while minimizing the use of inferior and less expensive amino acids like L-Taurine which are primarily used due to their extremely low cost in comparison to truly beneficial ingredients like those found in HyperAmino®.
When comparing apples to apples HyperAmino® outperforms the leading energy amino competitor and sets the new standard in the "amino's with energy category that has exploded over the past year".
Add 1 scoop to 4-10oz of water, juice, or your favorite beverage. Stir in a glass or mix in a shaker cup. Do not exceed 3 servings in any 24 hour period.

The Newest Pod Mods of 2019
In terms of the volume of new hardware being released, pod systems unquestionably represent the fastest-growing segment of the vaping industry. Pod vaping is no longer just about the JUUL, and it isn't about devices like the Suorin Drop, either. New pod systems are coming out at a rapid pace, and the latest devices feature technology completely eclipsing what first-generation devices like the JUUL and the Suorin Drop had to offer. The only problem? New pod mods are coming out so quickly that it's impossible to keep track of them all! So, have you found it difficult to keep up with the newest pod mods of 2019? We're here to help. The devices on the newest pod mods list represent the latest and greatest that the world of pod vaping has to offer.
Smoant Pasito
$26.99 – Buy It Now
Let's get one thing out of the way first: The Smoant Pasito is undoubtedly one of the most attractive pod systems ever released. Good luck choosing which color you want when you buy this device, because each one looks gorgeous. The Pasito has a polymer coating on its side panels that gives the device a lovely glossy finish and prevents fingerprints from appearing on the device. The Smoant Pasito has a replaceable coil system that allows you to switch the device between mouth-to-lung and direct-to-lung modes just by replacing the coil, and it has five selectable wattage levels that allow you to customize the volume and warmth of the vapor to suit your preferences. The Pasito even has a rebuildable deck available that makes it possible for you to build your own coils; that's a first among pod systems.
Justfog Minifit
$14.99 – Buy It Now
The Justfog Minifit is so tiny that it's easily one of the smallest vaping devices ever made and for this, it made the newest pod mods list. It's actually even smaller than the USB charging cable included with it, and that creates some interesting possibilities because you probably won't find another pod system anywhere as discreet as this one. If you're a new convert to vaping looking for a pod system that's just as satisfying as the JUUL but allows you to use whatever e-liquid you want, this is the one. It's also worthwhile to consider the Minifit even if you're already an experienced vaper; it's a great alternative to carrying a larger mod when you're out and about.
Uwell Caliburn
$19.99 – Buy It Now
The Uwell Crown is one of the most famous tanks in the history of the vaping industry. While other tank manufacturers have always gone for the biggest clouds at any cost, Uwell has chosen a different direction by creating tanks that sacrifice just a bit of vapor production in favor of much richer flavors. People who love their Uwell Crown tanks wouldn't dream of using anything else, and Uwell has brought that same level of coil technology to the world of pod vaping systems with the new Uwell Caliburn pod mod. The Uwell Caliburn has far greater vapor production than smaller devices such as the JUUL, and it's far superior on the flavor side as well. The airflow with this device is loose enough that you could even get some restricted direct-to-lung hits out of it.
Oukitel Lark
$17.99 – Buy It Now
Here's a first! Oukitel – a company primarily known for making Android smartphones – has entered the vaping industry. When a company wants to enter a new industry and make a big splash, you know that they're not going to just do things by the book. The Oukitel Lark, therefore, is anything but ordinary and therefore, makes the newest pod mods list. For starters, the Lark actually feels a bit like a luxury phone. When creating this device, Oukitel used a new zircon painting technology to give the Lark a slightly matte metallic finish that feels great in the hand. The really interesting technology, though, is inside the device. The Lark is one of the few low-wattage devices on the market that uses a honeycomb mesh coil for extremely even heating and smooth flavor. They've coupled the mesh coil with a ceramic wick that won't burn. Those technologies combine to make the Oukitel Lark a device that delivers an unbeatable pure vaping experience with a pod that lasts and lasts.
OneVape Lambo 2
$24.99 – Buy It Now
Making the newest pod mods list is the Lambo II. The smallest pod vaping systems often lack adjustable airflow because their tiny size makes adding airflow collars difficult. The OneVape Lambo 2 solves that problem in an interesting fashion. The pod has two independent airflow channels. One intake channel is at the top of the pod, and the other channel is at the bottom. The two channels converge over the coil in the center of the pod. If you're not getting the airflow resistance you want, though, you can flick a switch on the bottom of the pod to close one of the airflow channels. The OneVape Lambo 2 is also unique in that it is one of the only pod systems on the market with a pod specifically designed for thicker CBD e-liquids. Use the standard 1.6-ohm pod if you're vaping nicotine e-liquid, or switch to the 1.0-ohm pod if you're vaping CBD e-liquid. The 1.0-ohm pod has a ceramic wick that improves the pod's performance with CBD oil.
Voopoo Drag Nano
$23.99 – Buy It Now
The last pod mod to make the newest pod mods list is the Voopoo Drag Nano. The Voopoo Drag name has become legendary among those who use advanced vaping devices, and Voopoo has brought that famous name to the word of pod mods with the Voopoo Drag Nano. Voopoo's technology – particularly the GENE chip – is the key to the company's success, and Voopoo has outfitted the Drag Nano with a small version of its most famous chip. The GENE Pod chip comes equipped with Voopoo's Cold Boot technology, which automatically gives the atomizer coil a bit of extra wattage when you haven't used the device in a while. You'll enjoy instant vapor, even when the coil is completely cold. Another unique feature of the Voopoo Drag Nano is the automatic timer that detects when you've removed the pod. After five minutes, a light on the side of the device flashes to let you know that you've waited long enough for the pod's cotton wick to become fully saturated. No more burned coils!
As Always, please dispose of vape devices with internal batteries properly. Please us this link to find a battery recycling location near you.

The City's response to this recent snowstorm is a fine example of government failure. It stopped snowing about noon on Saturday. The City has had over three days to conduct clean up and they aren't even close to being done. Menino was on the news Friday making noise about 600 pieces of snow removal equipment on the street. Two questions Mr. Mayor - where were they and what were they doing? Yesterday you called for a review of snow removal operations. Here is some advice, look in the mirror; that's where the failure begins.
If I were mayor, I would do two things immediately; First, fire DPW Commissioner Joanne Massaro. Her department failed miserably. The blame doesn't lie with the contractors, DPW employees or managers; it lies with Massaro and her inabilty to account for the actions of those responsible for snow removal, second, immediately resign as Mayor of Boston. Ultimately, it all lands on you. YOU are no longer the Urban Mechanic. YOU have become the Egomaniac. It is not about YOU, it's about the residents of the City, and you have failed us. YOU told us not to drive, we didn't. YOU enacted a snow emergency and parking ban, we complied. We did our part - YOU did not, YOU failed!
Boston Public Schools were open today. As I walked my 5 year old to school we encountered crosswalks blocked by huge piles of snow, forcing us to walk on the street in traffic until we could find a safe way back to the sidewalk. She had to walk on a packed snow path around a corner to get to a safe place to cross a street. The sidewalks around the school, except for the front of the building, were unshoveled. This is not the fault of the custodians, there was far too much snow piled up to use shovels or snowblowers, heavy construction equipment will be needed. I watched at least three people slip and fall in the area of the school this morning. This is unacceptable. While I agree that education and having our children in school is important, their safety should come first.
Save the City's time and money and cancel any review of how the City failed in the aftermath of the storm. Look deep inside, that is the best place for you to start.

GKIDS Brings Hayao Miyazaki Doc to US Theaters Dec. 13 & 18
GKIDS and Fathom Events have set the U.S. theatrical premiere for Never-Ending Man: Hayao Miyazaki. The revelatory documentary on the global animation icon will run in more than 500 U.S. cinemas on Thurs., December 13 and Tues., December 18 at 7:30 p.m., subtitled in English. An acclaimed director, producer, screenwriter, animator, author and manga artist, Miyazaki co-founded the legendary Studio Ghibli in 1985 and has directed influential films such as My Neighbor Totoro, Princess Mononoke and the Oscar-winning Spirited Away.
Tickets are available now from www.fathomevents.com and www.neverendingman.com, or at participating box offices (list of theaters on the Fathom Events site).
Never-Ending Man goes inside the studio to follows Miyazaki when, after announcing his retirement from feature directing in 2013 at the age of 72 (following the release of The Wind Rises), he embarks on a new project to utilize CGI for the first time ever. But the artist, who has been adamant about hand-drawn animation, confronts many challenges that threaten to stymie his short Boro the Caterpillar.
"The works of Miyazaki have proven to be timeless favorites with anime fans nationwide," Fathom Events CEO Ray Nutt said. "We have seen time and time again how his works resonate with U.S. audiences, and are proud that our ongoing partnership with GKIDS will bring this engaging documentary to these devoted anime aficionados."

Ancient DNA Tells a New Human Story
Ancient DNA Tells a New Human Story
The Wall Street Journal
Armed with old bones and new DNA sequencing technology, scientists are getting a much better understanding of the prehistory of the human species, writes Matt Ridley
Imagine what it must have been like to look through the first telescopes or the first microscopes, or to see the bottom of the sea as clearly as if the water were gin. This is how students of human prehistory are starting to feel, thanks to a new ability to study ancient DNA extracted from bodies and bones in archaeological sites.
Low-cost, high-throughput DNA sequencing—a technique in which millions of DNA base-pairs are automatically read in parallel—appeared on the scene less than a decade ago. It has already transformed our ability to see just how the genes of human beings, their domestic animals and their diseases have changed over thousands or tens of thousands of years.
The result is a crop of new insights into precisely what happened to our ancestors: when and where they migrated, how much they intermarried with those they met along the way and how their natures changed as a result of evolutionary pressures. DNA from living people has already shed some light on these questions. Ancient DNA has now dramatically deepened—and sometimes contradicted—those answers, providing a much more dynamic view of the past.
It turns out that, in the prehistory of our species, almost all of us were invaders and usurpers and miscegenators. This scientific revelation is interesting in its own right, but it may have the added benefit of encouraging people today to worry a bit less about cultural change, racial mixing and immigration.
Consider two startling examples of how ancient DNA has solved long-standing scientific enigmas. Tuberculosis in the Americas today is derived from a genetic strain of the disease brought by European settlers. That is no great surprise. But there's a twist: 1,000-year-old mummies found in Peru show symptoms of TB as well. How can this be—500 years before any Europeans set foot in the Americas?…

Collaboration Fuels Analysis of Social Mobility
When Centennial Professor of Economics Philip Jefferson was asked to present at a conference on human capital and mobility hosted by the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, he knew he would need a compelling data set if he was going to tackle his intended subject. Little did he know that data he was searching for would come from a student in his Advanced Econometric seminar. Watch his presentation below.
For his presentation, which took place in late May, Jefferson analyzed if it was possible for someone to move up the income ladder within their lifetime and if that correlates with what college they attended. Aiding in this analysis was a data set created by John Calia '18, an economics and mathematics major from Kinnelon, N.J.
"I was honestly surprised that a professor was asking for permission to use my work; this is something I've never experienced, so of course I would say yes," Calia says.
Caila created the data set for a paper in Jefferson's seminar entitled Can College Rankings be Trusted? He wanted to know if college ranking systems were reflective of measures of post-college success (monetary, academic, or based on personal satisfaction), so he collected starting salaries and mid-career salaries for graduates from 963 schools using website Payscale.com.
This data turned out to be exactly what Jefferson needed for this study.
"I was able to use John's rich data set to look at the question – how does someone's early career pay and mid-career pay relate to which college they attended? John's data was exactly what I was looking for."
What Jefferson found from his study was a surprising– and somewhat sobering– result: if you are behind someone early in their career, by the time you get to mid-career, you are still going to be behind that person. And the only way you could have caught up was by going to a different school.
"What we showed is that the relationship between early-career pay and mid-career pay is linear and positively sloped. And very importantly, that slope indicated once you graduate from a school, you were not going to be able to catch up to somebody that gradated from a different school that started with a different pay. If you start out 10 percent behind, you are still going to be 10 percent behind mid-career."
Jefferson is quick to note that the data only accounts for those with only bachelor's degrees and that a college education is worth more than what someone pays for it. Still, he believes the findings have significance because "student debt loads are so high that it's understandable that parents and students care about outcomes like pay."
As for Calia, he believes that being cited as a collaborator for one of his professor's projects will be one of his lasting memories of the College.
"Looking back, this project proved once again to me how good we have it as undergrads at Swarthmore. Professor Jefferson rightly stated in the introduction of his presentation that this sort of collaboration is reserved for grad students at most other colleges and universities."

Strawberry and Hazelnut Meringue Cake Recipe
I got this recipe ages ago from a magazine & have been making the cake every summer since then. And since I've received emails asking for the recipe, so here it is guys. Let me know how you got on.
1. Preheat the oven to 180℃. Put 100g hazelnuts on a baking tray and cook for 10 minuts until golden. Tip onto a clean tea towel and rub through the cloth, the papery skins should come off easily. Spread the nuts out on a large plate to cool.
When cold, whizz in a processor or blender until ground, taking care not to over process and make them oily.
Grease 2 loose-based 20cm sandwich tins and line the basses with baking paper.
2. Put the 4 egg whites (large) in a large mixing bowl and whisk with an electric mixer until they form stiff peaks. Add 1 tablespoon of caster sugar ang whisk until stiff again. Continue to add the sugar a tbsp at a time, whisking until stiff again after each addition until all the 225g caster sugar have been incorporated. You should have a stiff, glossy meringue.
3. Whisk in 1teaspoon of white wine vinegar and a few drops of vanilla essence and then fold in the hazelnuts, using a large metal spoon. Take care not to knock the air out of the meringue. Divide the mixture between the tins and level the tops.
4. Bake for 40-45 minutes. Leave to cool in the tins for 10mins, then turn out onto a cooling rack and remove the paper. Leave until cold.
5. Whip 284ml double cream until it hold its shape. Set aside 8 berries, then slice the remainder of your 400g strawberries. Fill the cake with most of the cream & slices strawberries.
6. Decorate the top with the reserved strawberries, secured with blobs of cream.
You can buy ground hazelnuts in some stores. Also, if you don't have a processor you can use the mortar and pestle. You can do this in advance if you like (coz this is the boring part) & store it in an airtight container & have it ready when you need it.
If you find that the strawberries you bought are sharp/sour, just slice them up, put them on a plate & sprinkle a bit of sugar on top. Leave this in the fridge for a while & your berries won't be so sharp anymore =)
I used 9 strawberries to decorate instead of 8, wala lang- na OC lang ako!
I sometimes use sugar substitute so that I could share it with Papa Erick (diabetic) but I rely on tasting it before baking so I couldn't tell you the exact measurement.
This recipe is from ASDA magazine.

Cisco's Talos team has found a vulnerability in the Lhasa LZH/LHA decompression tool and library, and it's a nasty one because it means the decompression process gives attackers the chance to put whatever code they want on your machine.
The problem is an integer underflow.
"The software verifies that header values are not too large, but does not check for a too small header length," writes Talos chap Marcin Noga. "Decompressing a LHA or LZH file containing an under-value header size leads to the decompression software allocating a pointer to point to released memory on the heap. An attacker controlling the length and content of such a file can use the vulnerability to overwrite the heap with arbitrary code."
Noga reckons the first thing bad guys would do with this flaw is put something horrid in a compressed file in the hope you open it and end up with something nasty on your machine. He's also worried that this could become an espionage tool, because the tool is used in roles where users never see it, like decompressing email attachments. If the flaw means code runs somewhere like an email server, it could read the contents of files and exfiltrate them and users who are ignorant of attachments being compressed to start with will never suspect anything is amiss.
The Lhasa GitHub repository looks to have updated to address the problem a couple of weeks ago. ®

I've just spent some leisure time strolling the streets of Munich. As European cities go, Munich is not too bad. I could imagine
enjoying living here although
I myself do prefer a more modern look than European cities generally offer.
And when it comes to people, I do feel some affinity for the German stock as they do seem to be pretty much like me on average. At least more like me than maybe most others in Europe. I even went so far that I spent a night with a German woman. I was planning to spend more time with her, but then I did the most stupid thing imaginable: I started arguing with her about how I didn't quite appreciate how many Turks and blacks there are in Munich. You know, when I went to Hauptbahnhof, at least every second person I passed on the side streets was Turkish, Middle Eastern or black and the stores were predominantly ethnic ones too. I told her that this naturally leads to more conflict and the decline of Western civilization as the situation is after all pretty similar in most bigger European cities.
However, she had basically swallowed every single line of the liberal canon and found my view and explanations heretical. She even questioned the concept of intelligence itself and claimed that nobody can put any number on how much of the observed intelligence differences between races are due to genetic factors. And she said Europe needs even more diversity. I myself gave her some simple working definition of intelligence, I told her the twin studies let us make a decent estimate of how important the inherited factors are even though it's not easy to give an exact number and told her that there are good and bad diversity as exemplified by the fact that black Africans are the most genetically diverse race and yet African societies are the worst in the world (thus diversity of course isn't any guarantee of improvement and I think there's little reason to expect that adding blacks to Europe will result in any sort of improvement). I argued about other things too and the result was that she threw me out.
Well, I of course should have known better than to do that as I already had noted some hints that she embraced a contrary worldview that is very typical for women. Still, it ended up being a confrontation that confirmed (once again) that I'm not wrong about how crazy the typical woman is. And how little women actually know, she for example had never heard about Geert Wilders or Theo van Gogh or the concept of Eurabia and obviously she had never bothered to research independently any of the issues relevant to her leftist pro-immigration position. She just thought in the exact way all those 'respectable' people in the establishment want her to think.
I was left wondering how mad she would have been if I had honestly told about how I think men have given women already way too much power and it's time to take some of their powers back. I honestly can't see how Western societies can survive if women like her are allowed to continue to make the decisions that shape our societies to such an extent as they now do when their votes decide who our political masters are.
Conclusion: women remain as irrational as ever and there's no easy way to reason with them, if you need more proof see for example this story from Turkey where an Italian woman got the bright idea of hitchhiking in a bridal gown and got herself raped and murdered last Saturday. But of course, you are not allowed to make generalizations about women based on single examples like these (never mind that when I studied machine learning making profitable generalizations from a collection of single instances was considered to be one hight of intelligence… one of the Holy Grails of AI). I'd say that incident in Turkey is just a little more immediately understandable example of female irrationality and that in the long run allowing third world mass immigration to Europe very likely leads to a future where women are a lot worse off than they are now or alternatively to major conflict(s) in which pretty much everyone suffers and that women who quite overwhelmingly seem to support mass immigration are basically almost as stupid or naive as that Italian woman.

We promote networking among alumni to strengthen business connections, promote new ideas and advance your career.
The ESADE Alumni Balearic Islands Club is pleased to invite you to a tour of Fàbrica Ramis, a social, cultural and co-working centre by Juan Ramis (EVV 07), associate professor in ESADE's Department of Operations, Innovation and Data Sciences.
After more than fifteen years teaching in different countries, professor Ramis decided to assume certain responsibilities in his family's business. The challenge was to refurbish an old cloth (and subsequently, leather) factory and transform it into a social, cultural and co-working centre in Inca, previously a highly industrial town, right in the middle of Majorca. The centre was inaugurated almost a year ago. This talk will sum up the main lessons learned from this social enterprise project.
See you there!
