Why These Common Diet Foods Are Actually Making You Gain Weight
Sticking to a diet, or even simply trying not to overeat, can be tricky. We all know that certain foods are crazy-easy to gorge on (see: the mysterious disappearance of an entire packet of Tim Tams), but others are annoyingly less so. (Ever binged on endless bowlfuls of baby spinach? Us neither.) That said, it turns out there are a few common diet foods that sneakily tempt over-indulgence too. In fact, certain "health" foods can actually make you even hungrier. The accidental over consumption of calories that follows is then swiftly chased up with associated weight gain. NOT COOL HEALTH FOODS.
Before you launch your quinoa salad at the wall in (understandable) frustration, know that just because certain foods aren't technically the *best* or *healthiest* option, doesn't mean they don't deserve a place in your diet. By adding a serving of healthy fat or protein, or loading up on green veggies, you can successfully boost a meal's ability to keep you feeling fuller for longer. It's easy when you know how, but to make said changes you need to know EXACTLY which common diet foods could be the culprit behind potential weight gain.
Keep scrolling to find out what they are.
You might think making the switch from Wonder White to wholegrain means you're living that #HealthLife, but surprisingly brown bread can actually score higher on the glycemic index than the white stuff. Not only does a high GI rating indicate a food is not ideal for keeping your blood sugar stable, it also means it's unlikely to keep you full for long. Look for low GI and high-fibre breads, or make your own. We're into this quinoa and chia loaf by Teresa Cutter.
The myth that egg yolks are bad for you has been disproved time and time again, and yet the idea that they increase bad cholesterol in healthy individuals continues to stick around. Most people can eat up to seven eggs a week with no increase in heart disease risk, and some studies even suggest this level of consumption may help ward off some types of stroke. Whole eggs are a solid source of fat and protein which both help to keep you feeling satisfied. Who knew egg whites were really the less-healthy option?
Regardless of whether your juice of choice is organic and cold-pressed or comes in a carton, it's going to be relatively high in sugar. All juice has some (or all) of the fruit or vegetable fibre stripped away, which can cause your blood sugar to spike in a dramatic way. (Plus, restrictive juice cleansing can actually cause hair loss.) Choose whole fruit and vegetables over juice where possible—they'll fill you up on less calories. If you must guzzle your snack opt for a blend with more veg than fruit.

The Queen and I.
I was born on the 23rd of May 1953. Our National Health Service meant I was born in hospital and my mother, like all mothers back than, spent 10 days in hospital recovering from the birth. Times have changed, women are lucky these days to get even 48 hours in bed recovering even after a surgical intervention. My mother came home on Coronation Day with her new baby. She was 40 so still must have been a little shell shocked by giving birth again. She came home to a room full of people watching a tiny screen in the sitting room. My father had bought our first television. Everyone ignored her and her baby whilst they watched Elizabeth crowned and my mother made them never ending cups of tea. Of course I have no memory of this at all.
The next time my life crossed the Royals was in London's West End, known for it's many theatres. I was little, just about three years old. I slipped under the ropes onto the red carpet as the Queen and Prince Phillip entered a theatre. Prince Phillip lifted me back over the ropes. I am not sure if I remember this or if I just remember being told about it.
We went to Australia to live in 1962. I was shocked to find we had to sing God Save the Queen every morning at school, and we had to place our hands on our hearts and pledge to Queen and Country. It was also normal to sing the National Anthemn at the cinema. On the upside, we got the Queen's Official Birthday off school.
In 1977, it was the Queen's Silver Jubilee. I lived in Wimbledon and the Queen came to watch the Women's Final when we were in with a chance of getting our first victory for years. It was one of the hot summers in the late 70s and I took a friend's little boy to see her go up Wimbledon Hill. I didn't see her as I had him on my shoulders. He saw a lady in a hat but no crown, so he didn't realise it was her. Virginia Wade won.
Sometime in the 90s I took our daughter to see Windsor Castle, the Queen's residence a few miles out of London. There is a huge doll's house there I thought she would like to see. Prince Phillip drove out in a Land Rover.
My next near encounter was the Royal Gala for the film, Ladies in Lavender. We were invited but sat downstairs whilst the Queen was in the Royal Circle. My memories of this were the soldiers with sub machine guns walking up and down the aisles throughout the screening. Not a comfortable feeling in a country where we are not used to guns in public view and definitely not inside anwhere. It was after 9/11 but before the London bombings, I think.
I saw very few British people on Facebook mentioning her birthday. I think just two of my British Facebook friends. Then the expat Brits. The people who mentioned it most were Americans. And that's why I think we should probably stay as a Kingdom. It is good for tourism.

Rightly or wrongly I am a royalist. I feel we benefit more from having the royal family than not - tourism being the biggy. Britain is famous the world over for the pomp and circumstance, it is want makes Britain, Britain. The thought of going through the rigmarole the US goes through every 5 years turns me cold, our elections are bad enough!ReplyDelete
It gives us continuity in an every changing world. It is not to say, though, that they need to modernise a bit more!
I mentioned the queen on my FB page, just because I am a royalist. But I am a national of two countries, Holland and the UK. Schizofrenic? I grew up with Royalty in Holland, and when I chose to become British after I married an Englishman, had to swear allegiance to the Queen. In a way I suppose I am quite rich, being a royalist twice over....:)ReplyDelete
What an interesting read, Sally! I've never been to Great Britain, but think it would be wonderful to visit someday. The Royals certainly know how to put on a show :) BTW, you and I were born the same year.ReplyDelete
I feel in a similar way about the royalist/republican thing to yourself I think. Good for tourism. Also the thought of an elected president is not good (think about any of the current ruling party being president... Boris probably fancies the job!)ReplyDelete

Marcia Kredentser is used to walking into daughter Neve's bedroom and finding it turned into a film studio – or a dance theatre. Recently the nine-year-old and her friend went into the restaurant business, with a pull-out shelf serving as the bar.
"She plays up here, she has her friends up here, she shoots movies up here," says Ms. Kredentser of the third-floor haven. "She constantly feels free to change it into whatever she wants."
Ms. Kredentser and her husband, Jeff Buttle, brought in Toronto-based Plant Architect when they decided to renovate their semi-detached Toronto house in order to create a bedroom and playroom for Neve.
The house was a bit cramped for two parents and the "explosion of plastic" that a child brought, explains Ms. Kredentser. The second floor was extremely dark. The third floor – accessible only by a rickety stair and a hatch – didn't offer much more than a pokey storage space. They considered moving but decided to expand instead.
Plant Architect principal Lisa Rapoport oversaw the addition that would provide a bedroom and playroom for Neve and bring light down through the house. She urged the couple to achieve all of that without being too impolite to the neighbours. She also saw the opportunity to create a space that would inspire Neve's appreciable creativity and imagination.
It wasn't until the project was finished, says Ms. Kredentser, that she looked out the windows on three sides and appreciated the feeling of lodging in the treetops. The family had been so focused on planning the interior, they hadn't given a lot of thought to the exterior.
"Being up in the trees was the unexpected, amazing bonus," Ms. Kredentser said.
Mr. Buttle and Ms. Kredentser have long been interested in modern architecture and design so for them there was no question the space should be modern – even though their house dates to the early 20th century and retains the dark wood trim and smaller rooms typical of the era.
"It was always going to be modern," Mr. Buttle said. "We had no intention of aping what was already here."
Ms. Rapoport thought that lifting the roof with an additional dormer at the front of the house would impose on the neighbours and the streetscape. Instead she suggested keeping the roof line low at the front, then popping it up and adding a clerestory window approximately in the middle. That solution created a more interesting interior and also didn't overpower the other half of the semi.
"It can look very strange to do one side and not the other," she says. In this case, "it changes the aspect from the street but it's not as obvious. On the front it's very diminutive and on the back it's kind of like a treehouse."
The interior of the room offers an alcove that currently houses Neve's bed. There's a place for sleeping, a corner for landscape painting, a nook for reading and space for a table and chairs. The loft is a place to keep oversized bears.
The room is also designed to be adaptable as Neve gets older. Eventually the alcove might be turned into a niche for studying, for example, and the bed could go under the window.
The variation in the levels and planes makes it more interesting and infinitely flexible, Ms. Rapoport said.
"It creates these different spaces that can be inhabited in different ways. Each space has its own character and scale."
The palette was kept simple and bright with wood, white walls and a couple of dashes of peacock blue. Windows are trimmed in fir, the floor is made of organic bamboo ply and the built-ins are a lighter blond. Most of the colour comes from toys and Neve's own handiwork.
"The white is refreshing in that house," Ms. Rapoport said. "And she didn't need any more stimulation."
Ms. Kredentser also asked for lots of built-in cupboards and places to contain the art supplies, books, stuffed dogs, costumes and woodworking tools that come along with being a preteen girl. The architects suggested more open storage but Ms. Kredentser pushed for drawers, cubby holes and "places to hide things."
Neve is still finding uses for those hiding spots beyond their original purpose. To reach the window seat, for example, she needed something to step up on. Ms. Rapoport made room for storage underneath and the little girl turned it into a sort of tickle box for her costumes. A storage space has become a tunnel.
The architect points out that the room could also just as easily become a bedroom, study or family room when Neve grows up or if the couple ever decides to sell.
"Being able to crawl around the passages is just her being kidlike and using her imagination," Ms. Rapoport said, "but you could also stuff it with sleeping bags."
Ms. Rapoport added a skylight over the staircase and used translucent glass in the rail to bring light through the centre of the house. The stairs have no risers so more daylight flows through.
The architect chose oak for the stair railing and cap because it works well with the bamboo but doesn't match it. It also ties in with the trim in the original part of the house.
She points out that this is a common dilemma with the "different and interesting and cranky renovation of a Toronto house. How do you make that transition feel appropriate?"
In this case it would have been easy to replicate the old woodwork but they all agreed that was not what they wanted, she adds.
Another benefit in the parents' view was that Neve had the opportunity to participate, learn about the entire process and sit in on planning sessions with professionals.
"Neve was at every meeting – even the budget meetings," Ms. Rapoport says in agreement.
Neve, who has long enjoyed working with clay and wood, now builds even more of her own wigwams, barns and houses.
Ms. Kredentser and Mr. Buttle declined to disclose their budget but they acknowledge that most homeowners are more likely to put money into kitchens, bathrooms and principal rooms with an eye to the home's appreciation.
They say they are happy they made a beautiful room for their daughter on the third floor while they also reclaimed a couple of rooms on the second floor for their own home offices.
"We could have spent money and got a better return in another part of the house but that wasn't really in consideration," says Ms. Kredentser. "Why shouldn't she be up here – she loves it."

It looks as though we are in with a chance of signing Kenedy on a permanent basis. The Evening Standard say that the club are pursuing a summer transfer for the Brazilian, although Chelsea will likely be looking to make a "significant profit" on the £6.3m they paid Fluminense for the player.
A lot will depend on who is in charge of the Blues come the summer. Currently our no.15 is surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge with Antonio Conte already having two senior left wing backs at his disposal. If the Italian does leave however, things could get a bit more complicated.
That is probably why Rafa was non-committal about the player`s future following his two goals at the weekend. We are hoping to hold more talks with Chelsea about the winger, but it looks as though the situation will only be resolved in the summer.
It`s a shame that we were not able to secure a purchase option on him in January, but if the parent club isn`t willing to play ball, there`s not much more we can do. Hopefully his asking price isn`t too high in the summer if he is made available for transfer.

Yes, Ms. Southern Hospitality herself is at the firing range – and she's the target. After confirming publicly that she was diagnosed with Type II diabetes three years ago, diabetics across the nation are enraged that she would continue to promote fatty and sugary foods.
Here's the full story reported by Fox News (Paula Deen vs. Diabetics).
Really? Isn't cooking comfort food what she is known for?
What next?…..all Jack Ass fans are going to stop watching because one of the Jack Asses gets critical hurt in one of their stunts…..
It would seem to me that those of you who are diabetic would know what kind of diet you should maintain since your life depends on it. Paula Deen has made a name for herself because of her decadent cooking. Reality is that she's is not going to compromise her empire and switch over to the lighter side. What she eats in her private life is not our business.
I get confused by these stories because I really want to hear from the people who are outraged so I can a better understanding why they would be so outraged. Why would anyone be upset that Paula Deen is a diabetic and doesn't promote healthier food?
When is it our own responsibility to worry about ourselves? Why do we care so much what other people do as if it has a bearing on us?
If you are a diabetic, I would suggest you follow your doctor's advice – not Paula Deen's.

The FCA has proposed banning financial services firms from using premium rate telephone numbers for customers.
The regulator says it is not fair that consumers often have to use expensive phone lines when calling firms to ask for help or complain.
It says some firms provide only premium rate numbers for existing customers who want to contact them after the point of sale, and a freephone number for new business.
In a consultation paper on complaints handling, the FCA is proposing introducing basic rate phone lines for all calls.
FCA director of policy, risk and research Christopher Woolard says: "Consumers want a simple way to complain that does not leave them out of pocket. And they want to be assured that their concerns will be dealt with fairly and quickly."
Which? executive director Richard Lloyd says: "Nobody should have to pay a premium to complain to their bank so this is another victory for the 90,000 people who supported our 'costly calls' campaign.
"Some of our biggest banks have already dropped high rate phone numbers, and we urge all financial providers to do the right thing and cut off costly calls now rather than wait for any new rules to take effect."
Earlier this year, Money Marketing sister title Mortgage Strategy revealed brokers' frustration that some lenders offered freephone lines to discuss larger cases but used premium rate lines to discuss smaller cases and commission.

…in the general public with data derived from probabilistic modelling assessments.
The uncertainties in the method and assumptions used to assess the radiation doses to consumers resulting from authorised discharges of radioactivity are not usually communicated in reports of the dose assessment. If the uncertainties are mentioned the treatment is rarely transparent. This may make it difficult for the public to gauge the risks from the discharges.

NEW DELHI An Indian government body has recommended imposing duties on some steel products imported from China, Japan and Russia, reinforcing New Delhi's tough stance despite complaints from some of the targeted countries.The Directorate General of Anti-Dumping and Allied Duties (DGAD) suggested imposing definitive anti-dumping duties on cold-rolled and hot-rolled flat steel products, according to circulars released on Monday. The government usually accepts DGAD's recommendations.
"It is noted that dumped imports from the subject countries have adversely impacted the performance of the domestic industry," one of the circulars said.Last month, Japan asked the World Trade Organization (WTO) to set up a dispute settlement panel to examine India's duties on steel imports which it says may violate WTO rules.
Earlier this year, Indian Steel Secretary Aruna Sharma told Reuters there was a "strong case" for imposing long-term anti-dumping duties on up to 124 steel products.
Between April and January, India's steel imports fell 38 percent year-on-year, data from a government body showed, primarily due to the slew of protection measures announced by the government.Indian steelmakers such as JSW Steel and Steel Authority of India had asked for stronger measures to protect them from cheaper imports from China, Japan, Russia and South Korea.

Do You Regift or Return During the Holidays? [POLL]
'Tis the season to give and receive gifts. But unfortunately not all gifts are exactly what you wanted. Didn't really need that extra pair of socks you got from your Aunt that always seems to buy the lame gifts? So what do you do with those unwanted gifts? Do you try and return/exchange them for something you actually want or do you just find some other poor schlub to pawn them off on, otherwise known as the art of regifting?
The classic tv series 'Seinfeld' created a whole bit around regifting:
So how do you handle it? Take our poll below and let us know how you handle those not-so-great-gift ideas.

Twitter and Facebook said they suffered service problems from hacker attacks on Thursday, raising speculation of a coordinated campaign against the world's most popular online social networks.
Twitter, the popular micro-blogging service, was knocked down by a malicious attack that prevented people from accessing its website for several hours on Thursday.
Facebook members saw delays logging in and posting to their online profiles, which the social networking site said was related to an "apparent distributed denial of service attack."
Facebook was working with Twitter and Internet search company Google Inc to investigate further, said a person familiar with Facebook but who was not authorized to speak to the press.
Speculation swirled on the Internet that other social networking sites had also come under attack, after relatively lesser-known site LiveJournal said it too had been targeted by hackers on Thursday. But those rumors could not be confirmed.
The incidents follow a wave of similar cyber attacks in July that disrupted access to several high-profile U.S. and South Korean websites, including the White House site. South Korea's spy agency said at the time that North Korea might have been behind the attacks.
Twitter co-founder Biz Stone said on Twitter's blog that the site was the victim of a denial-of-service attack, a technique in which hackers overwhelm a website's servers with communications requests.
"We are defending against this attack now and will continue to update our status blog as we continue to defend and later investigate," Stone wrote.

written by: Jennifer under Poker Comments: Comments Off
The last stop on the European Poker Tour's seventh season before the EPT Grand Final in Madrid, San Remo didn't disappoint as a solid tournament with a culturally diverse and strong field. The 987 players hailed from 57 nations, and the prize pool sat at €4,786,950 with €930K reserved for first place.
From two starting days, Day 2 brought the 460 survivors together, and that number was reduced to only 164 for the start of Day 3. It was during that third full day of action that the money bubble burst to allow the final 144 players to be paid, and some who did included Vanessa Selbst, Roberto Romanello, Victor Ramdin, Casey Kastle, and Ted Forrest. Day 5 whittled the field down to 24, with names like Richard Toth, Fabrice Soulier, and Ludovic Lacay showing up at the cashier's desk. And on Day 6, Joe Cada was among those eliminated on the way to the final table of eight players.
With that, the EPT San Remo final table was set to play out on May 3, with Rupert Elder as the chip leader with 8,005,000 and Francesco de Vivo holding only 1,090,000 as the shortest stack of the group. Max Heinzelmann made his second EPT final table in a row after finishing second in Berlin, and Xuan Liu was the only woman remaining in the field.
Action was aplenty at the final table, and the first elimination came when Max Lykov eliminated Roberto Spada. Liu took out Constantino Russo in seventh place, and moments later Elder sent Massimiliano Manigrasso home in sixth. Liu was back in action to eliminate Francesco De Vivo in fifth and Team PokerStars Pro Max Lykov in fourth. But it was Elder who eventually busted Liu, and he pushed into heads-up with 19 million versus the 10 million chips of Heinzelmann. The last hand saw Elder holding Ad-5c against the all-in Qd-5s of Heinzelmann, and the 3s-2c-7c-10h-Ks board left Heinzelmann with his second runner-up finish in a row on the EPT, while Rupert Elder (pictured above) won his first title and €930K.
1st place: Rupert Elder (€930,000)
2nd place: Max Heinzelmann (€600,000)
3rd place: Xuan Liu (€360,000)
4th place: Max Lykov (€290,000)
5th place: Francesco De Vivo (€220,000)
6th place: Massimiliano Manigrasso (€170,000)
7th place: Constantino Russo (€125,000)
8th place: Roberto Spada (€81,950)

A city man was tooling down a country road when his car
sputtered to a complete stop near a pasture full of horses.
The driver, getting out to see what was the matter, noticed
one of the horses looking at him.
"I believe it's your radiator," said the horse.
The man nearly jumped right out of his city slicker britches!
He ran to the nearest farmhouse and knocked on the door. "A horse
just gave me advice about my car!" he shouted, waving his arms
franticaly back toward the field.
The farmer nonchalantly leaned out beyond the door frame to
glance down the field. "The one with all the spots on it?" the
farmer asked slowly.
"Yes! Yes! That's the one!" the excited man replied.
"Oh. Well, that's Elmer," the farmer said, turning back to the man.
"Don't pay any attention to him. He doesn't know a thing about cars."

Hari OM
'Text-days' are for delving into the words and theory of Advaita Vedanta.
[You are reminded that reviewing the previous week's posts will become essential as the meanings of the Sanskrit terms may not be repeated. There may come additional or alternative meanings, but all should be noted. As study progresses, the technical terms must necessarily become 'second nature' to the student. When the Sanskrit is used, the translation will fall easily into place - or likewise, if the English is used, the Sanskrit term must easily come forwards.]
Please revisit THIS post and chant the mangala-charana. Please use the TattvabodhaH label to access all posts relevant to this text.
When watching a swami at times other than when giving discourse or satsang, it can be noted that there is little, if any, superfluous movement. The most alive part of such a sage is the eyes. They are all-seeing. To be blessed with even the most sideways glance from a Master is to know true blessing. Such an experience is never forgotten. The stillness of the physical container of the Master is a lesson in tranquillity. Every movement is economical and even the placing of a book or a pen is with repose.
If one attends satsang with such a Master, the atmosphere cannot be denied. This is not mere 'charisma'; it is something far greater. When a Master speaks, not one word is out of place… and every word is for the listener and only the listener. The fact that there might be a hundred other listeners sharing the room matters not; the Satguru is speaking only to the "I", which is Himself, and for a brief moment the individual is brought out of his or her condition and into that union.
Whether the jnaani serves by sharing the teaching this way, or remains at the work of their lifetime… or retreats to the forests or mountains… every action is merely burning up of the wick of destiny. Life, having been given, must run its course. This is destiny.
प्रारब्धं कर्म किमिति चेत्।
इदं शरीरमुत्पाद्य इह लोके एव सुखदुःखादिप्रदं
यत्कर्म तत्प्रारब्धं भोगेन नष्टं भवति
प्रारब्धकर्मणां भोगदेव क्षय इति।
praarabdhaM karma kimiti cet.
idaM shariiramutpaadya iha loke eva sukhaduHkhaadipradaM
yatkarma tatpraarabdhaM bhogena naSTaM bhavati
praarabdhakarmaNaaM bhogadeva xaya iti.
"Having given birth to this body, the actions which give result in this very world in the form of happiness or miser and which can be destroyed only by enjoying or suffering them, is called praarabdha karma."
Interestingly, the word praarabdha can be broken down to bring out "that which began well"… which sums it up rather nicely! We are born as children so innocent in at the beginning, but instantly the egg-timer starts running and it can only run according to the sanchita sands. In praarabdha, we face karma phala… the fruits of our actions.
How often have you said 'what have I done to deserve this?'; or heard another say 'oh he didn't deserve that!' Even if we are not of the tradition of Sanatana Dharma, we have some concept of having to pay a debt of some sort for our actions. Mostly we resent this! Properly understood, the karmic cycle can be a powerful influence upon us, for we start to act more consciously and conscientiously. However, a life of good acts does not necessarily preserve us from having to pay serious debts and if there is murder and mayhem several lives back, we will have to redress the balance sometime - and it may be in the current life. Further, within this life itself, we can experience the fullness of karma. It is what our reward and justice system is about. Good deeds can certainly yield reward this life itself and sour deeds may result in, for example, fines.
It is the praarabdha karma which determines the time and place of our birth, the environment, the lifespan. Do not consider praarabdha as 'set in stone' fate, something in which we are helpless. To be fatalistic, "oh there is nothing to be done, it is written in the stars", is of itself a negative karma. In fact, everything provides a learning, if we are alert, and by understanding that everything in life is a result of past action, in this life itself we can take responsibility, adjust our actions for the future, and fund a will to rise from the traps set by Maya.
We must have the attitude that, whilst we may not have a choice in what is served to us, we do have a choice in how we 'eat' it. Adjustment of attitude from 'woe is me' to 'how can I use this' is what is required.
An arrow that has been shot from the bow reaches its target to exhaust its momentum. It cannot be withdrawn halfway. Similarly, those actions which have started fructifying can only be exhausted by giving their results. One must bear these results and the depth of their effect will be much determined by our attitude.
The jnaani, about whom this part of the text is talking, must also serve out 'time' in praarabdha, simply by virtue of having been born. However, as far as he is concerned there is no doing or enjoying or suffering. Eventually, his body, like the rest of us, must pass. The jiiva that found its freedom in mukta state (samaadhi) will now finally rest forever.

Iron deficiency in nephrology
Iron deficiency is a common disorder among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). A large-scale, epidemiological analysis conducted in 2009 suggests that the majority of patients with impaired kidney function (identified by reduced creatinine clearance) have low levels of iron, with approximately 58% of men and over 70% of women reaching the haematological definition of iron deficiency (See figure below)1. Rather than being a feature of later stages of disease only, iron deficiency has been reported from as early as CKD stage 31.
Figure 1. Percentage of patients with chronic kidney disease and iron deficiency1
Copyright permission obtained from Fishbane et al, 2009.
Gender differences in iron deficiency parameters of patients with CKD
Results from the 2009 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey show that the prevalence of iron deficiency is significantly higher in female patients with CKD compared with their male counterparts (72 vs 58%; p<0.0001). Additionally, in women, haematological parameters of iron deficiency (serum ferritin and transferrin saturation) appear to share a linear relationship with renal function, with serum ferritin increasing (p<0.0001) and transferrin saturation decreasing (p=0.02) with worsening CKD stage (see figures below). No such relationship was observed in male patients with CKD1.

Iron deficiency anaemia in CKD
Iron deficiency is one of the most common causes of anaemia (iron deficiency anaemia). However, not all patients with iron deficiency are anaemic, and not all patients with anaemia have iron deficiency anaemia. The prevalence of anaemia (as defined by the World Health Organization haemoglobin targets2) in patients with CKD is approximately 6% in women and 10% in men3. Among CKD patients with iron deficiency, the rate of anaemia is 11–27%1.
Clinical implications of iron deficiency
Iron deficiency and iron deficiency anaemia are important clinical concerns in CKD. Severe anaemia in this patient group is associated with an increased risk of mortality, cardiovascular complications, and a significant reduction in quality of life4. Every 1 g/dL reduction in haemoglobin level is associated with a 5% increase in the risk of mortality and 4% increase in the risk of hospitalisation for patients with CKD5.
Iron deficiency is, in itself, associated with many of the symptoms more typically linked with anaemia (see table below). Studies suggest that iron replacement therapy can improve symptoms and help to restore quality of life of patients with iron deficiency6.

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – A still to be released study shows that in the Philippines, the incidence of high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease is highest among devout Catholics. And it has to do with Fridays and Lent.
We are in the midst of the holiest of seasons, which culminates on Easter Sunday. Each Friday during Lent, Catholics are expected to abstain from meat. But the more devout Catholics have made every Friday throughout the year as "fish Friday."
So what has that got to do with high blood pressure?
Many Filipinos don't have easy access to fresh fish, or where it is readily available, the cost is prohibitive. So they turn to dried fish 🐟 which is fairly inexpensive: tuyo, tinapa, dilis.
Problem is, dried fish has a very high sodium content, as high as 166% of daily nutritional values. (See nutritional chart for dried fish)
In most people, the kidneys have trouble keeping up with the excess sodium in the bloodstream. As sodium accumulates, the body holds onto water to dilute the sodium. This increases both the amount of fluid surrounding cells and the volume of blood in the bloodstream. Increased blood volume means more work for the heart and more pressure on blood vessels. Over time, the extra work and pressure can stiffen blood vessels, leading to high blood pressure, heart attack, and stroke. It can also lead to heart failure. There is also some evidence that too much salt can damage the heart, aorta, and kidneys without increasing blood pressure, and that it may be bad for bones, too.
High blood pressure is a leading cause of cardiovascular disease. It accounts for two-thirds of all strokes and half of heart disease.
Imagine consuming high amounts of sodium every Friday, assuming one doesn't eat dried fish on other days of the week. Overload!
So, we're calling on the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines to grant all Filipinos a special dispensation from abstinence so that we may be able to significantly reduce hypertension and cardiovascular disease in the country.
Either that or Catholic Churches should give out free fresh fish to their congregation on each Friday of the year. That's a good way to unload and liquidate their financial investments.

Get a life. Hate on our efforts all that you want. We can take it. Alllllllll day. Just realize that we're still in a position to put things out there that people can respect and enjoy. You, on the other hand are a bitter, bitter person without a sense of purpose. Enjoy your uneventful weekend.
Aren't internet BEEFS soooo much more fun that real life ones? It's so great because you can HIDE like the coward that you are. Come find me in person. I'm at El Bar pretty much EVERY Thursday night. It's usually pretty chill in there so you can MAN UP and set the record straight about your belligerence and accept the consequences of your big mouth (overzealous typing).
ha i'm gonna make a point to come out el bar now! thursday you say?

I knocked these guys out in about 3 hours, and figured I'd share my techniques here! All colors referenced are Vallejo paints. I used el cheapo flat black spray for the stands, but masked off "connecting" points so it all still fit together nicely. The wash I use is CGR Painters' excellent Magic Mudd. All cockpits were done with a Pitt artist pen with a small nib.
For all models I did a simple process: Spray coat black, Apply a thinned down base coat (sometimes twice for the lighter color ones). Once dry, I painted all the details with a Windows & Newton Series 7 size 0 brush. Once all of the details were done, I liberally washed the ship with the Magic Mudd, then soak up any areas that are pooling with a Q-tip. When dry, I used my artist pen to carefully draw in the cockpit.
YT-1300 and YT-2400
These guys are basically painted identically, save for a splash of yellow on the YT-2400. The base coat was a custom mix between Khaki and Pale Sand until I felt it was a close match to my X-Wing model.
I used Hull Red for the base coat, but that was way off. I went from memory but shouldn't have. The X-Wing model is really more of a flat brown or cavalry brown. Still, I was already done by the time I realized how off it was, and I'm way too lazy to go back and fix it!
Scurrg H-6 Heavy Bomber
I referenced a Google Image search picture for this thing, since I had no idea what it really was. I used el cheapo hobby orange (Americana Bright Orange) over a sky grey base coat.
Jumpmaster 5000
This one was a ton of fun to paint for some reason. The base coat is Sky Grey, with True Red and Americana Victorian Blue rounding out the color palette. Victorian blue was also the engine colors.
Base coat of Sky Grey, pick out some details in London Grey, then a touch of Victorian Blue. Done.
This is my favorite of the bunch. Base color is Beige Brown. Trim is True Red. The "teeth" are sky grey. The engine deck is London Grey.
Oh man, Boba Fett! I love that guy! Base coat of Sky Grey. Pick out details in London Grey. The pinkish red color was a mix of True Red and Sky Grey (about 60/40). I used that same color for the engine glow, then mixed in some white for the center of the glow.
I can't wait to see how these guys look on the table!
If you're thinking about painting them, my advice is just to go slow. Brace both hands (the hand holding the model and the hand doing the painting) on the table and/or each other. Take your time, and they can turn out nice!

CLEVELAND, Ohio - Baldwin Wallace announced today that Jim Hilvert will become the school's new football coach. Hilvert replaces John Snell, who stepped down at the end of last season.
Hilvert comes to Baldwin Wallace after leading Cincinnati La Salle High School to back-to-back Division II state titles. The hire makes Hilvert just the fourth head football coach at BW since 1957.
Prior to leading La Salle, Hilvert was the coach at Thomas More College, where he finished 67-19. The Saints appeared in four straight NCAA Division III playoffs from 2008-2011 and won six Presidents Athletic Conference titles.
In a written release, BW athletics director Kris Diaz said: "Jim is an intense competitor who is focused on winning and is committed to developing student athletes for success on and off the field. Jim's excitement, energy and drive are contagious and we look forward to welcoming him to BW."
Also in the same release, Hilvert said he believes in building lifetime relationships with his players as a coach and mentor and his goal is to win a conference and national title.
Prior to Thomas More, Hilvert was an assistant head coach and defensive coordinator at then College of Mount St. Joseph. He's a graduate of St. Joseph's College in Indiana and he received his master's from Western Michigan University.
He starts at BW on Monday. He will relocate to Northeast Ohio along with his wife Jennifer and three children.
The Yellow Jackets open the 2017 season on Sept. 2 at Defiance College.

A news headline today announces Childish behaviour a road hazard: NRMA.
Ooh goodie, more on road rage!!
But no, it continues "Parent drivers are being driven to distraction by the silly backseat antics of their kids, according to new research."
Oh is that all? Are you a parent? Were you a child once? Had we not noticed this phenomenon?
Ok maybe we needed to be reminded of the dangers. Or maybe we need to be reminded to be tolerant. Is that the problem today? We've forgotten tolerance? Tolerance is not trendy. This is the me generation still is it? And my anger will be vented? Therefore the massive increase, not to mention dangers involved, in road rage. And therefore the need to remind us to be tolerant of our children – to remind us not to be distracted by their antics in the car, and maybe to take some time to be prepared so we don't have the antics in the first place. Hope it works.

|This study looks at whether and why people are prepared to pay more money for products that signalize their personal interests. The design is an intrasubject field experiment carried out using five, real, one-sided Internet auctions. The sample consists of 83 participants from the Czech Flamenco community. In the auction, they placed bids for five types of products—a branded bag, a white shopping bag, a mug, a white top, and a black T-shirt. These items appeared in the auction randomly in Flamenco (bearing visual reference to Flamenco culture) and non-Flamenco generic versions. In the case of the white shopping bag, the mug, and the tank top, the respondents were willing to pay almost double for the Flamenco version in comparison with the generic version. This was partly due to their greater emotional attachment to the Flamenco version of the product. The price difference for the branded bag and the black T-shirt was smaller and insignificant. This study opens up the theme of personal interest branding.

The distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) has been extensively studied and widely used. A distributed acoustic sensing system based on the unbalanced Michelson interferometer with phase generated carrier (PGC) demodulation was designed and tested. The system could directly obtain the phase, amplitude, frequency response, and location information of sound wave at the same time and measurement at all points along the sensing fiber simultaneously. Experiments showed that the system successfully measured the acoustic signals with a phase-pressure sensitivity about –148 dB (re rad/μPa) and frequency response ripple less than 1.5 dB. The further field experiment showed that the system could measure signals at all points along the sensing fiber simultaneously.

Recently, the subject on "plasmonics'' has received significant attention in designing surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors. In order to achieve extremely high-sensitivity sensing, multilayered configurations based on a variety of active materials and dielectrics have been exploited. In this work, a novel SPR sensor is proposed and investigated theoretically. The structure, analyzed in attenuated total reflection (ATR), consists of multilayer interfaces between gold and a metamaterial (LHM) separated by an analyte layer as a sensing medium. By interchanging between gold and LHM, under the effect of the refractive index (RI) of analyte set to be in the range of 1.00 to 1.99, the sharp peak reflectivity at the SPR angle takes two opposite behaviors predicted from the transfer matrix method. At the threshold value of 1.568 of the refractive index of analyte and when the LHM is the outer medium, the layered structure exhibits a giant sharp peak located at 43° of intensity up to 105 due to the Goos-Hànchen effect. With respect to the refractive index (RI) change and thickness of analyte, the characteristics (intensity, resonance condition, and quality factor) of the SPR mode, which make the proposed device have the potential for biosensing applications, have been analytically modelized.

A dual-frequency distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) fiber laser based sensor is demonstrated for low-frequency vibration measurement through the Doppler effect. The response of the proposed sensor is quite linear and is much higher than that of a conventional accelerometer. The proposed sensor can work down to 1 Hz with high sensitivity. Therefore, the proposed sensor is very efficient in low-frequency vibration measurement.

A new demodulation algorithm of the fiber-optic Fabry-Perot cavity length based on the phase generated carrier (PGC) is proposed in this paper, which can be applied in the high-temperature pressure sensor. This new algorithm based on arc tangent function outputs two orthogonal signals by utilizing an optical system, which is designed based on the field-programmable gate array (FPGA) to overcome the range limit of the original PGC arc tangent function demodulation algorithm. The simulation and analysis are also carried on. According to the analysis of demodulation speed and precision, the simulation of different numbers of sampling points, and measurement results of the pressure sensor, the arc tangent function demodulation method has good demodulation results: 1 MHz processing speed of single data and less than 1% error showing practical feasibility in the fiber-optic Fabry-Perot cavity length demodulation of the Fabry-Perot high-temperature pressure sensor.

A distributed fiber optic interferometric geophone array based on draw tower grating (DTG) array is proposed. The DTG geophone array is made by the DTG array fabricated based on a near-contact exposure through a phase mask during the fiber drawing process. A distributed sensing system with 96 identical DTGs in an equal separation of 20 m and an unbalanced Michelson interferometer for vibration measurement has been experimentally validated compared with a moving-coil geophone. The experimental results indicate that the sensing system can linearly demodulate the phase shift. Compared with the moving coil geophone, the fiber optic sensing system based on DTG has higher signal-to-noise ratio at low frequency.

An optical multi-component gas detection system based on the conjugated interferometer (CI) is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. It can realize the concentration detection of mixture gas in the environment. The CI can transform the absorption spectrum of the target gases to a conjugated emission spectrum, when combining the CI with the broadband light source, the spectrum of output light matches well with the absorption spectrum of target gases. The CI design for different target gases can be achieved by replacing the kind of target absorbing gas in the CI filter. The traditional fiber gas sensor system requires multiple light sources for detection when there are several kinds of gases, and this problem has been solved by using the CI filter combined with the broadband light source. The experimental results show that the system can detect the concentration of multi-component gases, which are mixed with C2H2 and NH3. Experimental results also show a good concentration sensing linearity.

As carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) material has been developed and demonstrated as an effective material in lightweight telescope reflector manufacturing recently, the authors of this article have extended to apply this material on the lightweight space camera mirror design and fabrication. By CFRP composite laminate design and optimization using finite element method (FEM) analysis, a spherical mirror with ?316 mm diameter whose core cell reinforcement is an isogrid configuration is fabricated. Compared with traditional ways of applying ultra-low-expansion glass (ULE) on the CFRP mirror surface, the method of nickel electroplating on the surface effectively reduces the processing cost and difficulty of the CFRP mirror. Through the FEM analysis, the first order resonance frequency of the CFRP mirror components reaches up to 652.3 Hz. Under gravity affection coupling with +5 ℃ temperature rising, the mirror surface shape root-mean-square values (RMS) at the optical axis horizontal state is 5.74 nm, which meets mechanical and optical requirements of the mirror components on space camera.

The relative coupling efficiency of two-dimensional (2D) grating based on surface plasmon for very long wavelength quantum well infrared detector is analyzed by using the three-dimensional finite-difference time domain (3D-FDTD) method algorithm. The relative coupling efficiency with respect to the grating parameters, such as grating pitch, duty ratio, and grating thickness, is analyzed. The calculated results show that the relative coupling efficiency would reach the largest value for the 14.5 μm incident infrared light when taking the grating pitch as 4.4 μm, the duty ratio as 0.325, and the grating thickness as 0.07 μm, respectively.

In view of the problems such as the lower automation level and the insufficient precision of the traditional fiber optic gyroscope (FOG) static north-finder, this paper focuses on the in-depth analysis of the FOG dynamic north-finder principle and algorithm. The simulation model of the FOG dynamic north found algorithm with the least square method by points is established using Simulink toolbox, and then the platform rotation speed and sampling frequency, which affect FOG dynamic north found precision obviously, are simulated and calculated, and the optimization analysis is carried out as a key consideration. The simulation results show that, when the platform rotation speed is between 4.5 °/s and 8.5 °/s and the sampling frequency is at about 50 Hz in the case of using the parameters of this paper, the FOG dynamic north finding system can reach the higher precision. And the conclusions can provide the reference and validation for the engineering and practical of FOG dynamic north-finder.

Another thought that allies itself with this saying for me is when you wake up each day it is a brand new day. The light appears to be new, different from the day before. You have a whole blank canvas of the day in front of you. Everything seems to have been wiped clean for you to start again.
This seems like a great time to start a new life, a new lifestyle or get on that path and live the working life of your dreams instead of just talking about it.
Some people in life have lived this slogan "Every second is a chance to turn your life around".
Think about Lance Armstrong and his fight with cancer, his comeback and winning the Tour De France seven times in a row. (Post-dated comment, he is a drugs cheat so that rather takes the shine off of his comeback to exercise)
Think of Ghandi giving up his life as a lawyer to help his country? Or his change to non-aggressive protests?
Or Rosa Parks sitting on the "whites only" part of the bus. She turned her life around in that moment and helped to make the change for millions of others too.

By the late 1960s, he was already a major figure in Turkish psychedelic music (also called as Anatolian Rock), beginning with his first psychedelic single "Anma Arkadaş" in 1967. In the early 1970s, he formed the group Ter with the former members of Grup Bunalım (also known as Bunalımlar). Although they only recorded one single before breaking up, "Hor Görme Garibi" (a cover of the major arabesque hit by Orhan Gencebay) was a smash hit, furthering Koray's career. In 1974, Erkin Koray released what is probably his best-known and best-selling single, Şaşkın. Set to a traditional Egyptian tune, the single proved Koray to be an ingenious musician and arranger. Other major hits by Koray are Fesuphanallah, Istemem, Sevince, Öyle Bir Geçer Zaman ki , Estarabim, Arap Saçı, Yalnızlar Rıhtımı, Akrebin Gözleri and Çöpçüler.

Short Notes on Depression 2017 - Dr Mark Burgin
12/09/17. Dr. Mark Burgin BM BCh (oxon) MRCGP considers the elements that should be included in a primer for clinical negligence cases involving Depression.
Depression is part of a complex of unpleasant feelings associated with sadness, the type of depression is characterised by the symptoms associated with these feelings.
NICE guidance focuses on the feeling of low mood and the lack of interest as the core symptoms and does not consider the associated symptoms as important to management.
NICE says that the mental health assessment should include an assessment of the disabling effects of the depression which the DSM V describes as impairment in social, work or other.
The DSM V asks for 5 or more symptoms including low mood and loss of interest symptoms include weight change, fatigue, insomnia, guilt, poor concentration, agitation and thoughts of dying.
There is significant degree of controversy in the management of depression with significant funding increases and political efforts such as IAPT.
Immediate Access to Psychological Therapies IAPT
The NICE guidance does not discuss the role of GPs in the management of depression and refers to low-intensity psychosocial interventions delivered by trained professionals.
In the UK the IAPT service has been audited and found to deliver the recommended number of sessions to only 30% of the service users many having one session or none. (3)
Whilst over 40% who were treated had recovery from their symptoms this was less than one in 6 of the total referred with many of the rest not considered suitable.
The psychologists delivering the service have raised concern about overwork, difficulty in delivering effective treatment to complex cases and in 2016 about half were showing signs of burnout. (4)
Referring a patient to the IAPT service does not absolve the GP from further responsibility as 5 out of 6 patients will require further assistance.
Role of GP
It appears likely that the General Practitioner will remain the primary deliverer of psychological therapy to patients with depression for the foreseeable future.
Whether GPs are sufficiently trained to perform a mental health assessment or not. failure to attempt to assess a patient with depression would be in breach of their duty.
There are no formal examinations for GPs to demonstrate that they can perform an assessment based upon the biopsychosocial model or that they have undergone further training for a diploma in psychiatry or psychological medicine.
Failure of a GP to ask about each of the following -the patient's symptoms, their thoughts and disabling effects of the depression is likely to be in breach.
Whilst NICE guidance suggests that anti-depressant treatment is not to be used first line in mild depression for the first 12 weeks a GP is not likely to be in breach when prescribing if they record the reasoning.
GPs who manage complex cases without referring to the mental health team may not be in breach unless the patient has active suicidal thoughts.
Combination therapies
NICE states that few combinations are not allowed and confirms that little research is available but then states that GPs should prescribe in consultation with a consultant psychiatrist.
The problem for GPs is that few consultant psychiatrists would be happy discussing a case that they are not involved with, in effect creating a ban for GPs prescribing combination therapies.
The guidance does not differentiate between high dose combinations where both drugs are used at the top of their range and low dose where the risk of adverse effects is low.
The recent work on short term low dose painkillers to reduce suicidal ideation is likely to be both safe and save lives, the average dose was 0.4mg per day less than a tenth of the normal dose for pain. (5)
Unusual combinations are not likely to be in breach per se but if there is no record of why the practitioner has used that combination particularly when high doses are chosen then breach is likely.
IAPT Psychological therapies is having problems with delivering an alternative to primary care so the GPs will remain liable for most adverse events even when the patient has been referred.
The GP can be in breach for not making an appropriate assessment of the patient and for not recording the rationale behind the therapy used.
Patients may be found to have been vulnerable due to their mental health problems which can increase the GP's responsibility for issues such as did not arrive (DNA), GPs behaviour and consent.
Whilst specialists can refuse to accept referrals for alcohol dependant patients with depression GPs are in breach if they cannot offer an urgent appointment.
A primer in depression will need to differentiate between high and low risk management of patients and consider whether failure to assess a psychological patient by a GP is professional issue.

It's time for a new challenge at Sassy Studio Designs and this week it's "Include a Beverage." I have colored this Sassy Martini image with Copics and cut her out so I could see the beautiful papers I used. I added a double bow and some pearls and then my sentiment; I wrote "Coffee keeps me awake until it's time for Margaritas." Where that came from I have no idea, because my brain was telling me Martinis and my fingers typed Margaritas, and I didn't even see it until I'm writing this post. Maybe I need to go have a drink tonight; but which should I choose? a Margarita or a Martini, maybe I will just go to bed and catch up on some much needed sleep, because I'm not really much of a drinker.
