More Benefits of Exercise Beyond Just Losing Weight
Prevent cognitive decline.
It's unpleasant, but it's true — as we get older, our brains get a little... hazy. As aging and degenerative diseases like Alzheimer's kill off brain cells, the noggin actually shrinks, losing many important brain functions in the process. While exercise and a healthy diet can't "cure" Alzheimer's, they can help shore up the brain against cognitive decline that begins after age 45. Working out, especially between age 25 and 45, boosts the chemicals in the brain that support and prevent degeneration of the hippocampus, an important part of the brain for memory and learning.
Alleviate anxiety.
Quick Q&A: Which is better at relieving anxiety — a warm bubble bath or a 20-minute jog? You might be surprised at the answer. The warm and fuzzy chemicals that are released during and after exercise can help people with anxiety disorders calm down. Hopping on the track or treadmill for some moderate-to-high intensity aerobic exercise (intervals, anyone? Try these workouts: http://www.getfitfaster.ca/hiit-cardio-high-intensity-interval-training-16-minuteshttp://www.getfitfaster.ca/ball-istic-bench-blast-circuit) can reduce anxiety sensitivity. And we thought intervals were just a good way to burn calories!
Boost brainpower.
Those buff lab rats might be smarter than we think. Various studies on mice and men have shown that cardiovascular exercise can create new brain cells (aka neurogenesis) and improve overall brain performance. Ready to apply for a Nobel Prize? Studies suggest that a tough workout increases levels of a brain-derived protein (known as BDNF) in the body, believed to help with decision making, higher thinking, and learning. Smarty (spandex) pants, indeed.
Sharpen memory.
Get ready to win big at Go Fish. Regular physical activity boosts memory and ability to learn new things. Getting sweaty increases production of cells in hippocampus responsible for memory and learning. For this reason, research has linked children's brain development with level of physical fitness (take that, recess haters!). But exercise-based brainpower isn't just for kids. Even if it's not as fun as a game of Red Rover, working out can boost memory among grown-ups, too. A study showed that running sprints improved vocabulary retention among healthy adults.

Esther and Emmanuel Mike-Ozugha claimed that their only child, was taken to the hospital because he had difficulty in breathing. According to the couple, the oxygen tank their son was placed on ran out of oxygen within 30 minutes, Punch reports.
Here's Christopher's mum's story;
''He could walk and talk at that time we got to the hospital around 1am. They started complaining that why did we go to a private hospital and come to them when things were getting out of hands? A doctor told one of the nurses to prepare oxygen for Chris.
''The nurse said the oxygen tank they had was not working and that we should not disturb her. Later, another nurse came and I begged her. She followed me to the Accident and Emergency Ward, where we got an oxygen tank.
''After 30 minutes, the nurse came back to check and said there was no oxygen in the tank. She quickly connected him to the central oxygen. After some minutes, it started blinking and I rushed to call the first nurse.
''She said I should leave her alone. She told me to put it off and switch it on again. I did so and it started working again. After a while, my child started misbehaving. I ran back to her. She said I should leave her alone.
Later, the second nurse said the degree of the oxygen was low. By that time, my baby was no longer responding. Something was coming out of his mouth.''
The husband, Emmanuel, who corroborated his wife's account, said their child died around 11am.
However, a senior official at the hospital described the allegation that the oxygen tank was faulty and short of oxygen as false, adding that investigation had commenced on the alleged nonchalant attitude of the first nurse. But the general hospital said the child had severe bronchopneumonia and malaria, which killed him.
The Lagos State Commissioner for Health, Dr Jide Idris, also promised to investigate the case.
*Just way too heartbreaking! Hopefully, justice is served. Rest in perfect peace little Christopher.*

On Sunday, Aug. 9, voters from around the Stann Creek District converged on the village of Independence to cast their ballots at a United Democratic Party (UDP) convention. It was a three-way race to represent the Stann Creek West electoral division as standard bearer in the next General Election (date as yet to be determined).
We boarded a boat for Independence on the lagoon side of Placencia at 10 a.m. on Sunday. It was one of several flying a United Democratic Party flag bearing the name, "Walter." Of the dozen or so people on board, about half wore red t-shirts emblazoned with UDP slogans or pro-Walter wording in white lettering.
All three candidates used boats and buses to bring their supporters to the polls. Upon arrival at Independence Primary School, voters navigated a genial gauntlet of die-hard boosters at the school yard gate who encouraged undecideds to pick their candidates. I had the feeling there were not very many undecideds.
In addition to bringing people to the polls, each candidate provided supporters with a full rice-and-beans meal at midday.
There are two electoral divisions in the Stann Creek District: The principal town of Dangriga and the rest of the district, known as Stann Creek West. MORE
The three candidates:
- Walter Garbutt, retired teacher
- Nathan Young, UDP constituency chairperson
- Ivan Williams, Labour Commissioner of Belize
According to Belizebreakingnews.com, UDP party chairman "Alberto August described Sunday's turnout as the biggest convention held by the United Democratic Party (UDP) in the division of Stann Creek West." Walter Garbutt won with about 50 percent of the 3,100 votes cast.
I am not registered to vote in Belize (although, as a citizen and homeowner, I think I could be), so I attended the convention as an observer.
Independence Primary School's ground floor classrooms each served as polling places, based on alphabetical order. One room was reserved for the party Secretariat: UDP Secretary General Pearl Stuart and a team of party workers collected the paper ballots here, ensured their validity and stowed them away in a series of plastic bags. There were UDP staffers on hand to answer questions from voters about the process, but not about the candidates.
My aunt remembers a time when verifying voter eligibility was based on facial recognition: If a poll worker recognized you as living in the precinct where you said you lived, you could vote. Now, voters must be properly registered ahead of time and bring their photo IDs to the polls. Workers then check their list of registered voters to ensure you are eligible.
In Belize, where ballots are counted by hand, each voter dips an index finger into red ink to show he or she has already cast a ballot. Afterward, many people lingered in the school yard chatting with friends, meeting the candidates themselves or simply taking in the scene.
Hon. Anthony "Boots" Martinez, Minister of Human Development, Social Transformation and Poverty Alleviation, mingled among the voters–shaking hands and thanking people for turning out.
Also on hand, the man whose departure from the party precipitated the convention: Melvin Hulse, former division standard bearer, came out to cast his ballot. In June, Hulse stepped down after a scandal involving tape recordings–recordings on which he reportedly slammed his party leader, Prime Minister Dean Barrow. Despite being in disgrace with party leadership, Hulse seems to remain popular with many voters, who greeted him with familiarity and affection. No doubt, Hulse voted for Nathan Young, whom he endorsed upon resigning from the party and his government post.
Overall, the atmosphere was peaceful and even festive. The stream of voters throughout the morning was steady and orderly. Still, the atmosphere, however easy-going, carried with it an urgency: This is important; we can vote, and we will vote.

Research has found that one-in-seven people will enter retirement this year in poverty.Prudential found that 14 per cent of people retiring this year do not have a pension arranged and so will be reliant upon the state pension alone, which is currently £110.15 per week.For women, this figure is higher at 23 per cent, while for men it drops to eight per cent.Retirement income expert at Prudential, Vince Smith-Hughes, warned against reliance on the state pension to fund the cost of living.He said: "While it's a very valuable source of additional income for millions of pensioners, the state pension should ideally only represent a part of someone's retirement income, not all of it."Yet, while this suggests that consumers need to invest in their pension for a comfortable retirement they should ensure that they are balancing their cost of living against it. This includes repaying loans, such as mortgages, and avoiding credit card charges.Amir HussainAmir specialises in personal loans, consumer debt and debt management.

Looking for a great ice cream shop and desserts place in town? You might want to check out Swensen's and their incredible Happy Sundae Promo for Php 99. We got to try it for ourselves last Thursday, and it was like being a kid all over again.
You see, I haven't been to a lot of ice cream parlors before, so when I entered Swensen's, it felt like I've become a kid again. I watched with fascination how the attendant made our sundaes. With every ingredient, I grew more excited to have a taste of the Happy Sundaes. Barely reaching the counter, I tiptoed to be able to take photos of my sundae in the making.
Swensen's is a popular franchise brand which originated from San Francisco, California. It was thanks to Earle Swensen, who opened his first ice cream parlor in 1948 at the corner of Union and Hyde, that we have Swensen's today. Currently, there are now over 300 Swensen's Ice Cream shops all over the world, including the Middle East, and the ice cream giant has created over 180 flavors for everyone. Swensen's has remained in the hearts of many Americans as their favorite old-fashioned ice cream parlor.
The Happy Sundae comes in six flavors: Happy Nutty, Happy Brownie, Happy Green Tea, Happy Rice Cream, Happy Strawberry, and Happy Blueberry. I got to taste some of them, and here's what I think:
I got Happy Green Tea for myself. First, I was actually hesitant to try out this flavor because I'm not really fond of green tea-flavored desserts. It had red beans as well, another ingredient that I'm not a big fan of. But when I finally tasted it, it was then that I realized that the combination was perfect. Under the layer of whipped cream+ ice cream + red beans combination were chunky slices of banana. I love bananas, and I think it goes perfectly well with ice cream, whatever the flavor. The Happy Green Tea Sundae changed my mind about green tea-flavored desserts. This was sulit for the price, and I can definitely see myself bringing my parents and cousins or some friends to hang out and enjoy sundaes at Swensen's.
The Happy Brownie Sundae is something kids and people who love sweets and chocolate overload would enjoy. Instead of the usual cherry topping the piece, it had a chocolate-coated cherry.
The Happy Nutty Sundae was another favorite, despite my dislike for nuts and nut-flavored food and snack items. This had caramel syrup, so I'm partial to desserts with caramel.
Afterwards, we decided to try out The Earthquake: probably the most amazing and incredible mix of eight ice cream flavors, chocolate-coated cherry, brownie bits, nuts, and chocolate syrup. Hyperglycemia attack at its finest, for only Php 655.
About seven people attacked this ice cream dish, yet at the end of the night, we were unable to consume it. We were so excited about this dish but couldn't spare any more tummy space to be able to down the whole thing. Swensen's even had this contest a few weeks back wherein the person who can finish the Earthquake fastest wins. Guess how fast the winner downed this monster ice cream dish? 6 minutes.
There were a lot of people at Swensen's that Thursday night we were there. It was understandable because their sundaes were so enticing and affordable. It was mostly group of kids and teens who visited the place. I definitely recommend Swensen's to groups of friends who are looking for a new place to hang out and chill with a cup of ice cream in hand. They have wi-fi connection and power outlets too, for those looking to stay and enjoy your ice cream a little while longer.
It's a great place to have desserts. I loved their interiors which made me feel like I'm in the late 40s to early 50s, where ice cream parlors are the joints to hang out in. I was channeling The Archie's the whole time I was there, since the Archie's gang loved meeting and hanging out at Pop's, a local ice cream parlor, in the comic.

Arnold Schwarzenegger protects his zombie daughter in first Maggie trailer
The Terminator star gets serious in the first look at his upcoming dystopian drama
He may be back as the steel-coated Terminator later this year, but Arnold Schwarzenegger is all gooey-soft in the first trailer for his low-key zombie movie Maggie – not that he doesn't still know how to handle a shotgun, of course.
The film stars Arnie as a father determined to protect his titular daughter Maggie (played by Abigail Breslin) who is gradually turning into a card-carrying member of the undead – but is he the one really in danger?
In what look like his most intense and subtle performance since Jingle All The Way, Arnie spends most of the trailer giving hugs, looking at fire and shedding a single manly tear – all with a masterly grief beard to put Tyrion Lannister to shame.
Still, we'd eat our hats if there's not at least one big action sequence for the star to show off his skills – or maybe eat our brains…
Maggie will be released in May 2015

SERI KEMBANGAN (Sin Chew Daily) -- The name "Ah Loh Kopitiam" would readily conjure up the image of a traditional coffee shop that sells all sorts of local food we are familiar with.
Not quite. "Ah Loh Kopitiam" is not a physical coffee shop but an organization that regularly takes part in charity food sales.
64-year-old Teo, the organization's founder, told Sin Chew Daily "Ah Loh Kopitiam" had taken part in over 30 charity sales since its establishment in 2009, and had more than 30 fixed members throughout Kuala Lumpur and Subang.
4 or 5 charity sales a year
At the invitation of one of the members by the nickname of "Ah Loh", the group took part in a charity food sale in Ipoh.
"A Buddhist priest asked us the organization's name, so I told Ah Loh since he brought us to Ipoh for the charity sale, we would just call ourselves 'Ah Loh Kopitiam' as we sold all sorts of local delicacies like chee cheong fun, nasi lemak, yong tau fu, curry puffs and things you would normally find in a kopitiam," she said.
"Ah Loh Kopitiam" takes part in about four or five charity sales each year, and 100% of the proceeds will go to charity organizations."
Teo explained, "Ah Loh Kopitiam" started with only three or four stalls but today there are over a dozen.
She admitted that there were times when "business" was bad, and the stalls would pack their leftover food and leave it at a "food exchange corner" where members could enjoy one another's offerings.

Pizza-lovers, everywhere, surely have noticed and wondered about the fancy traditional Italian pizzerias use acronyms like "DOC", "DOP", "VPN", and "STG" on their menus and marketing materials. What do they mean?
These important acronyms preserve traditional Neapolitan ingredient and cooking techniques. DOC and DOP stand for Denominazione di Origine Controllata ("controlled designation of origin") and Denominazione di Origine Protetta ("protected designation of origin") respectively and certify that the ingredient originated in Italy. VPN or Vera Pizza Napoletana ("true Neapolitan pizza") is a designation given by the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana ("association of true Neapolitan pizza") that cultivates the tradition of the Neapolitan pizza with its requisite, preparation ingredients and manner of cooking. All VPN certified pizzerias will, theoretically, serve pies in the most authentically traditional manner. A slightly less rigid designation, STG or Specialita Tradizionale Garantita ("traditional specialities guaranteed") ensures the presented product will fit the specific character of Naples style pizza in size, shape, consistency, and appearance.
Naples, the Birthplace of Pizza, boasts its traditional style that dates back to the 1500s. After explorers brought tomatoes to Europe from their native Peru the fruit adapted and thrived. many aristocrats feared the plant might be harmful. Because of its acidic nature, tomatoes would dissolve the lead based paint in the plates resulting in lead poisoning. Peasants were immune because they ate off of wooden plates.
Peasants and tomatoes abound in Naples, so chefs prepared volumes of cookbooks loaded with tomato rich recipes, including the modern version of pizza.
People came from far wide to try it. Legend states that luminaries included a visit from Italian King Umberto I and his wife Queen Margherita. Chef Rafael Esposito prepared the perfect pizza for the occasion: a pizza with all of the colors of the Italian flag. On top of the hand sculpted wood-fired brick oven crust, he layered the red crushed San Marzano tomatoes, white bufalo ("Italian water buffalo") fresh mozzarella cheese and green basil. The queen loved it and Chef Esposito named it after her.
These are the guidelines for a truly authentic pizza. That is why you pay more for it. The VPN and STG guidelines are strict but when you eat a pie that fits the criteria, understand that you're eating a pie almost exactly like the one served to Queen Margherita over 500 years ago. It's cheaper than a trip to Italy and places like delivery friendly places like Keste Pizza & Vino and Don Antonio by Starita make it to where you don't even need to leave your apartment.
You will, never, forget your first Margherita DOC pizza. I had mine during my first quest for the 31 Days of Pizza back in 2002. Since then, I've had over 250 during October (National Pizza Month) alone. You will agree with me, and the Queen—they are delicious.
Check out these neighborhood pizzerias that deliver with DOC, DOP ingredients:
1. Forcella La Pizza Di Napoli in the East Village and in Williamsburg, Brooklyn
2. Numero 28 in the West Village
5. L'asso in Nolita
Sean Taylor has been blogging about pizza since he began his annual Quest for the 31 Days of Pizza in 2002. He also teaches and performs improv comedy at the Magnet Theater. You can follow him on Twitter @seantaylor or visit him at www.seantaylor.us.

It is, in fact, ALL DAY sickness! The doctor called me in something. but that only served to make the sickness WORSE! I am trying to be a trooper for the next few weeks and praying that this passes soon! I know the end result is SO worth it! I'm not loosing any weight and I am still able to force feed myself. I'll let you know when it gets better!!

Buying Halal Food To Go
Marketing Assistant, Sabina Begum, speaks about her experience finding halal on-the-go product
Originally from Uxbridge, with Bengali family roots, I will be graduating at the end of the year with a Masters in Consumption, Marketing and culture. With the help of this degree, I was lucky enough to be taken on as an intern at Adelie Foods, working across URBAN eat and Daily Bread. So far my time at Adelie has been a real eye opener and I now know a lot more about the many different areas of marketing and have generated a love for blogging, social media and copywriting in particular.
During my internship at Adelie I have especially loved working with a product that consumers come into contact with on an everyday basis. However, coming from a Muslim background I have found that generally it can be challenging to find any sort of halal sandwich, wrap or other food to go product in my local supermarkets. Although some of the smaller convenience stores are stocked up, and at a cheap price too, the quality of the products isn't always very appealing.
It has been encouraging to see overall availability of halal foods in and around London increase of late, perhaps as a direct response to consumer demand. With such a diverse, bustling population here in the UK it's important that we are inclusive and I think some retailers are missing a trick by at least not having a small range on offer in-store.
I was lucky enough that at my previous workplace URBAN eat products were on offer, and joining the team has allowed me to try even more products that really satisfy the taste buds! A broad, delicious selection of wraps, sandwiches and salads ensure I never go without at lunchtime! It may seem biased as I now work here, but I honestly can't say that I'm not aware of any other brand that offers this same level of variety in halal food to go products. If you'd like to find out more about the range, check it out here

The Co-operative Funeralcare band acheived 6th place overall at this years European Brass Band Championships in Rotterdam, Holland.
After drawing first in the set-work part of the contest the band gave an excellent performance of 'Vitae Aeterna Varitions' by Alexander Comitas which featured excellent solo work from around the band.
In the own choice contest the band delivered a superb rendition of Philip Wilby's classic piece 'Masquerade' to secure fourth place in that part of the contest.
The band are delighted with our level of performace and overall result at what many commentators have called the best brass band contest ever.

Worlds first tool that helps product teams createstructure, promote collaboration and save time
"Delibr is my go-to tool when I begin to write requirements for an upcoming feature"
We've been refining features in the wrong tools for too long. This has forced us to create workarounds which result in unproductive workflows, frustrated teams and loss of valuable time and information.
One dedicated place to refine features. Structure, collaborate, keep track of questions and capture not only decisions, but also conversations. Seamlessy transform your work into crystal clear Jira epics and stories.
Ready to use types allow you to visualise what you or fellow collegues are thinking. And most importantly, it's there for you to consult at any time. Never go "How did we come to this decision..?" ever again.
"We now have much more focused and concise meetings. I can highly recommend it!"
Use our in-app presentation mode during meetings with your team or stakeholders, and drastically reduce meeting preparation time. Up your presentation game even more and invite anyone to follow along and give input. You can also update it yourself, live.
"Delibr lets us lead successful client sessions where the full potential of the team is utilized"
Tasks are a great way to get input from your team. But keeping track of it is the tricky part. With Delibr you can easily see what's been done. And who you'll have to chase down.. or, send a friendly reminder.
Manually copy-pasting your feature specifications in an issue tracking tool, like Jira, is tedious and painful. With Delibr you can create epics, stories or any other issue type in just one click from your refinement document. Saving yourself hours of valuable time!
"Having the decision dropdown and ability to send user stories straight to Jira is huge for me, this is a game changer."
When you turn notes into Jira issues, you can see all the details via our Jira plugin. And so whenever new topics surface during development, the team can extend the Delibr document, and have all updates reflected back in Jira. No more conflicts between refinement docs and Jira comments!
Delibr aims to make your work easier. Both via mouse and keyboard. So your flow is not interupted.
Always be aware of what is happening to your documents in between meetings.
Easily work together in the same documents. And never worry about having to save your work.
Link your documents to Slack so your team is always up to date.
Book a free demo of Delibr where we showcase how easy it is toimprove your team's collaboration and workprocess.
We have made Delibr to fit into the way most POs already work with refinement documents. So the only change would be writing those documents in another tool. Apart from having a better experience.
Although no training is needed, we offer a free demo session, to be sure our users get the most out of our tool. This is also a good way for us to learn how to be most helpful.
If you get into working with questions in Delibr, you won't look back. But we also have other powerful features, such as instantly turning notes into a presentation or exporting them as Jira issues.

I always think Squeeze songs sound better in black and white, invariably invoking the british film industry of the early 60s, wherein kitchen sink drama was all the rage, grimy settings of headscarves, rain and tears. So many of the Difford/Tillbrook milieu pan out in such settings, and this is no different, an upbeat paean to the lot of the neglected wife. Like long running UK soap opera Eastenders, there seem to be but two sort of women, the survivor and the victim. (Men, of course, are always the perpetrators, as even the actions of the hardest-hearted villainess are attributable to the actions of the male abuser in her past.) Chris Difford know this, and, arguably and loosely, has lived this world: his autobiography sounds like he inhabited the songs he later wrote.
So here is a simple 3 part guide to the Squeeze version of, possibly, neo-paganism: the Maid, the Mother and the Crone.
Bleak or what? The combination of these tragic stories and the keening plaintiveness of singer (and tunesmith) Glenn Tillbrook, with the always solid musicianship of the often changing band, this has always had me hooked, from the late 70s to even now. I have seen and followed this band consistently, seeing them perhaps a dozen times between 1980 and 2016. So maybe I am really up the junction?
Cheer yourself up!

Formula Renault 2.0 Eurocup: Aitken wins at Hungaroring
British driver Jack Aitken (Koiranen GP) is the winner of Formula Renault 2.0 Eurocup race at Hungaroring today. 19-years old Brit won ahead of the member of the McLaren Young Driver Development Programme and compatriot Ben Barnicoat (Fortec Motorsport) and Swiss Louis Deletraz (Josef Kaufmann Racing).
Earlier today Deletraz claimed his third pole position of the season, ahead of Jack Aitken, Ignazio D'Agosto (Manor MP Motorsport) and Ukyo Sasahara (ART Junior Team). Starting from pole, Swiss led the entire race, but ceded the win after being penalized with 10 seconds for jumping start. When realized that he will be punished, Louis Deletraz began his own race against the clock to limit the damage. At the end he crossed the finish line with advantage which hold him in the top three and increase his lead in the general classification.
Despite the pressure, Jack Aitken held on second place ahead of Ben Barnicoat, so he takes the win because of Deletraz's penalty. Kevin Jörg (Josef Kaufmann Racing) and Martin Kodrić (Fortec Motorsports) completed the top five, ahead Jake Hughes (Koiranen) and Harrison Scott (AVF). Anton De Pasquale (Koiranen GP), Darius Oskoui (ART Junior Team) and Simon Gachet (Tech 1 Racing) were the final point scorers.

For most of us, attending the Olympics even just once is already a dream come true. But for 90-year-old American Harry Nelson, once apparently isn't enough: the man has been to 18 Summer Olympics, his first being the 1932 Los Angeles games when he was just 10 years old. He now holds the Guinness World Record for the most number of Summer Olympic Games attended. Watch this video to hear his story.

Things to look for…in general, we want the writing quality to be high. Outstanding is better. If you don't know where to start, I'll provide a list of things to choose from. That said, if you are raising an "information person," who would much rather read non-fiction, that's okay. There are beautiful non fiction books out there. This is how you will know. If you read a book every day for five or six days in a row and you, as an adult, HATE it, it's probably poorly written. Just a rule of thumb. And what, you ask, should you do with those slick Disney versions of real books and preachy Berenstein Bears that your children love and you hate? Donate them. I want to read to my children. Much. But I don't want to read stuff I hate. Except for the B book, Berenstein Bears generally makes my skin crawl…so. Out it goes.
If you have a child who likes to read instruction manuals for how to operate your phone, that's okay too for a season. Just make sure that they are written by an native English speaking person. When I start dictation with the young uns, I usually choose something I know they love and are familiar with from a story or from a favourite nursery rhyme.
When I feel they are old enough to have an opinion of their own, they choose the material usually. Best poetry book ever for dictation, Favorite Poems Old and New. Organized by topic, and including hundreds of poems for all ages of children, and all suitable for children, this book is a winner.
Barely could I homeschool without this book. The cover is falling off and we literally have used it daily, with one child or another. Also love Mother Goose by Scott Gustaffson and the version by Iona Opie, illustrated by Rosemary Wells.
Coming up…choosing excellent literature for children and how to force children to love poetry.

Say the word 'coffeecake' and visions of boring, too sugary images come to mind. Coffeecake? I've never understood the appeal of a plain cake with a sugar streusel smothering the top, usually baked in a rectangular pan, probably from a box of cake mix, full of suspicious looking ingredients. Where's the interest, where's the real flavor, the little something that tells me to take a bite, savor it, then want a whole piece and perhaps a second? It doesn't exist. However, a coffeecake with a layer of chopped cranberries will do that. More specifically, a coffeecake with a layer of cranberries sweetened with vanilla sugar will do that. The only reason this recipe caught my attention was because of the emphasis on using fresh cranberries. I couldn't resist the temptation to try it.
The first attempt resulted in a soggy and sunken middle, most likely due to the juiciness of thawed cranberries. So, use either fresh cranberries or frozen ones, without letting them thaw the least bit. The second attempt produced a much prettier and more uniform cake, which also made me much happier with the result. That layer of cranberries is a nice surprise. It adds a little tang, a little zest that contrasts nicely with the sweet cake and crunchy top. And yes, a slice pairs well with a steaming mug of vanilla sweetened coffee.
Even with this success, I keep thinking that I should add something, like chopped pecans to the streusel, or cinnamon and clove to the cake batter, or perhaps even orange peel in the cranberries, but the cake really doesn't need anything else. It's pretty satisfying as is, if the middle doesn't sink, of course. It might seem a little too sweet on the first bite, but that's just the flavor of the vanilla sugar. Vanilla beans tend to add another element of sweetness to a dish. Maybe I'll try baking it againg sometime with one or two of those flavor additions, using regular sugar. Otherwise, the cake might have too many flavors competing with each other. I'm always tempted to try something new, though. With all of the cranberry recipes I've been browsing recently, you might see a few different ones posted over the next several weeks, at least until those bags in the freezer are used up.
Cranberry Vanilla Coffeecake
Adapted from Gourmet, December 2008
1 ¾ cups vanilla sugar, divided
2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
2 cups plus 1 Tbsp unbleached all-purpose flour, divided
2 tsp baking powder
¾ tsp salt
1 stick plus 1 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened, divided
2 large eggs
½ cup whole milk
Preheat oven to 375° F with rack in middle. Butter and flour a 9x2-inch round springform cake pan. Make sure you use a pan with 2-inch high sides so the cake has room enough to rise while baking.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, baking powder, and salt.
Beat together 1 stick butter and 1 cup vanilla sugar in a large bowl with a wooden spoon until pale and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down sides and bottom of bowl. Mix in flour mixture and milk alternately in batches, beginning and ending with flour, until just combined. (I do the flour in three and the milk in two.)
Pulse cranberries with ½ cup vanilla sugar in a food processor until finely chopped (do not puree). I pulse the cranberries just before spooning into the pan so they don't turn juicy. If they do, then the cake will end up slightly soggy in the middle and sink a bit. If using frozen cranberries, do not thaw, or else they'll turn really juicy.
Spread half of batter in prepared pan, then spoon cranberries over it, leaving a ¼-inch border around edge. Top with remaing batter and smooth top; this part is a little tricky, because the batter is very thick and will stick to the spoon. Using a finger helps in spreading the last bit out to the edges.
Blend remaining ¼ cup vanilla sugar with remaining tablespoon each of butter and flour using a fork. Crumble over top of cake.
Bake until a wooden toothpick inserted into cake comes out clean and sides begin to pull away from pan, about 50 minutes. Cool in pan 30 minutes on a wire rack, then remove sides of pan and cool completely.

Hometown hero and XTERRA newcomer Gonzalo Tellechea joined reigning Pan Am Tour Champ and XTERRA veteran Suzie Snyder on the top step of the podium at the 2nd annual XTERRA Argentina Championship in San Juan this afternoon.
It's the first XTERRA win for Tellechea, and the 8th in Snyder's storied 13-year career.
XTERRA World Tour managing director "Kahuna Dave" Nicholas was on-site to take in all the action and brings us this report…
Today was about as opposite as you could get. Last year, cool and rainy, this year hot with bright sun. XTERRA Argentina came off almost flawlessly today.
The "dique" or dam was full of warm water and our athletes lined up for the swim start looking west towards the snowcapped Andes in Chile, where the show goes next week. The gun went off at exactly 10am with the elites in a non-wetsuit start one-minute ahead of the wetsuit-optional age groupers.
"The swim was a bit long," laughed Brazilian pro Sabrina Gobbo. "I felt like I was paddling forever," agreed Kara LaPoint.
French Canadian Jean-Philippe Thibodeau was first out of the water and onto the bike. He was followed by a group that included Frenchman Julian Buffe, American Branden Rakita and the two-time Olympian Tellechea.
Tellechea (pictured above) is a true local boy from San Juan and is an Argentine star. He represented Argentina at the 2012 and 2016 Olympics and has podiumed several times in world cup events. It did not take the local speedster long to take the lead. Tellechea, who grew up riding mountain bikes, held a comfortable lead through the technical sections about half way around the first lap.
Thibodeau held strong in second with Rakita looking good in 3rd. "Mad Maximiliano" Morales had given away over 3-minutes on the swim but was charging hard and was gaining ground, already up to 5th behind Julian Buffe.
For the women, Snyder (pictured above) controlled the day. She was first from the swim but about 500m out on the bike she came past me and I heard a 'pfssst' and sure enough she had to stop to fix a flat.
"I knew no woman had gone by but I started riding way too fast," she said after the race. "I was a bit over my head and crashed pretty good before I told myself to calm down and ride my race."
In second position was young French pro Morgane Riou. Morgane has been working hard on her biking skills and she was safely in 2nd place when her front wheel slipped out at a twisty bit and down she went. So, the top two women had both come off their bikes.
Kara LaPoint nearly did not start this morning. "I was so sick at 7:00 I said no way I can race today. I turned off the alarm and went back to sleep. I got up about 8:30 and felt better and said I'd give it a try." Try she did soldiering bravely in 3rd.
The plot thickened in the men's race with Tellechea still holding the lead and Thibodeau in second but Morales was getting close and was now up into 3rd, Branden 4th, and Buffe 5th. That's the way it stayed going into-and-out of T2.
The race has a bike/run crossover and organizers solved this by making a bridge the runners go over and bikes go under. The evil (and fun) thing is immediately after the bridge is a 3-foot high hurdle before you head out to the desert for an agonizing 10.5K.
"Morales passed me about the 4K mark and I couldn't stay with him," said Thibodeau.
Morales had put in the fastest bike time and was now flying on the run. "I was not too worried about staying in front," said Tellechea. "I know Morales and usually can run a bit faster than him, but not too far into the run my right leg starting hurting and I had to watch my pace."
Indeed, Morales caught and passed Tellechea, making time on the up-and-down sections through the desert. Going into the last 2-kilometers the run the course follows a dry riverbed. When they got back on the flats Tellechea sprinted past Morales and the race was on. They shadowed each other for a long while before the younger man took charge to win by 25-seconds. Thibodeau kept strong into 3rd and Yank Branden Rakita came 4th. Buffe was suffering in the over 90-degree heat and dropped to 7th. Spain's León Martin Drajer was 5th.
In the women's race Snyder was way out front to take a very strong win and 13th overall. Riou had her best XTERRA yet with a good 2nd-place showing well ahead of the brave, but struggling Kara LaPoint. Brazilians Sabrina Gobbo and Laura Mira Dias finished 4th and 5th, respectively.
After the finish line athletes were greeted with a nice, chilled box of fruit, ice cold water or Gatorade and shade. While there was a breeze that helped, this course has not one tree to ride or run under. Combine that with a cloudless, sunny day with temps over 90 and it was tough.
So, we have a new face as a winner and a strong start to the Pan Am season. Max Morales had the fastest bike and run splits and promises to work in the pool. I spoke with more than a dozen athletes from Chile, Brazil, Costa Rica and Argentina that will do at least four races in the series. It seems the South American athletes want more XTERRA, and we will give it to them.
Full marks to organizer Jose Arancibia, his wife Laura, and his staff for a great weekend of racing … and, it is not over. Tomorrow (Sunday) there will be trail runs and more mountain bike races. They call it XTERRA Fest and indeed it is. With Chile next week and Costa Rica following, this trifecta of races in wonderful places has a lot of appeal. Combine all this with inexpensive living and fabulous Argentinian Malbec and Chilean Cabernet and you have even more reason to put the Pan American Tour spring schedule on your calendar.
"The race today was interesting," exclaimed Snyder. "I got a great result with a win, but it wasn't pretty! It was definitely a 'shake out the cobwebs and remember how to race again' kind of day! The organization was great and I can't thank XTERRA Argentina enough for their help in making this trip possible for me and for putting on a great event! It's been a little crazy adapting to the time and culture differences (dinner at 9 or 10:00 and getting to bed at 1am!) and sometimes getting things a little mixed up because of the language differences can lead to less than ideal training and recovery, but that's just the way things go when traveling and racing in foreign countries sometimes. I am thankful to have Branden and Kara here to share the experience and adventures with! The toughest element of the day was probably the heat, especially considering how exposed the course is- there's not even a single tree out there on the rocky landscape. I expect Chile to be similar; a tough course and also very hot so hopefully by the third race in Costa Rica we'll be semi heat adapted?! The swim went well, though I was solo all the way. Not fast enough to stay with the men but faster than the other women so I just went my pace and focused on sighting and swimming straight. On the bike I only rode a few hundred meters before having to stop to air up my front tire. I had trouble with it holding air earlier in the week but it seemed to be holding yesterday...too bad it didn't last through today. After that I think I was riding a bit too hard to make up time that I lost and with a bit too much air in the front I had trouble controlling the bike in some of the deep sand and rutted descents. I crashed hard once and had trouble getting into a rhythm but managed to settle in better on the second lap. Going out on the run I didn't know what kind of lead I had but I felt strong so I pushed it for the first couple miles up the dry river bed which was deep, loose sand and rock. My left lower leg was bruised pretty badly and swollen so I didn't have much control of my ankle so it kept rolling on the uneven rocky terrain. I also missed a course marking and ran off course for a couple hundred meters once. Oops. It's amazing how you forget in only a few short months how it feels to suffer at race intensity and it's also a painful reminder of what happens when you don't control the emotion and effort well."

The French Startup Evercontact participant of the 2015 ubi i/o, accelerator program, has announced an impressive $1M fundraising round. The fully automated cloud service that updates CRM's address books is well on its way to make an impressive impact.
The funding came from AXA Strategic Venture. AXA's new venture capital fund launched last February to foster entrepreneurial discoveries in insurance, financial services and customer service.
"Evercontact came to our attention with its entrance into the Smart Data for Customer Intelligence incubator program launched by AXA Global Direct and Paris & Co last December. Contact management is obviously a major issue for insurance companies, especially when optimizing their sales relationships" commented Minh Q. Tran, General Partner of AXA Strategic Ventures and Managing Partner of AXA Factory. "Additionally, investing in technology related to Big Data is one of our priorities and Evercontact, as an innovator in this market, has a potential for international expansion that influenced our decision to provide support for its growth. Evercontact is the first startup to benefit from AXA Factory accelerator program".
Evercontact's first funding round of $1.2M in 2012 aimed at structuring its offer and building a scalable product. The new received funds will allow Evercontact to continue its international development alongside the ubi i/o, program with objective to open an office in San Francisco scheduled Q3 of 2015. It also brings essential resources to hire new talent. Indeed, Evercontact's goal is to grow its team to 20 people by the end of 2015.
"The funds will enable us to shift into high gear, and particularly to expand our reach in the worldwide marketplace", stated Philippe Laval, CEO of Evercontact. "Our service is already successful with US-based companies but our continued growth there requires a local presence, made possible by this support from AXA Strategic Ventures."
We're thrilled to share this great news with you, and can't wait to welcome Evercontat's team in San Francisco! Congrats to them!

Today me and my wingman did some daygame in Washington square park. I only opened two girls in two hours but they were both really cute. One of them I definitely should have Facebook closed but I didn't. I'm disappointed with myself for not pulling the trigger on that. The other girl was much less interested and I didn't really see it going anywhere.
Overall though I'm cool with what we did (or didn't do). Our daygame sessions are fun. We talk about game, compare hot girls, discuss what the best option at Chipotle is, and ruthlessly make fun of NYU students. It's a good time and I always look forward to it. I'll probably go out tonight too. No clubs, just a bar or whatever.
-Just as I've trained myself to open without thinking, I must train myself to Number or Facebook close without thinking.
-Daygame is logistically a bit more complicated but it's almost the same shit as night game. Girls are girls.
-I've done so much cold approach in the last six months that it's starting to become second nature.
-Once or twice a week I feel like quitting my awesome job, quitting game, moving into my friend's place in Brooklyn and becoming an alcoholic who watches movies all day. That's how I know that I'm pushing myself. If I'm not pushing myself and my life is "comfortable", I don't have these extremely nihilistic thoughts.

Today is Thursday and it's Girls Talk time again. It's Beauty Queen Gene's third week as the host of this meme and for the last previous weeks we all had a great time sharing how we love ourselves physically, financially and now mentally. Well, I can't talk big about myself mentally neither i can say that i hate nor i love myself for not being the best in school during my academic years but i maintained being in top 5. I know i can do more during those days but i was one of those students who prefer to be lazy than to study hard.
When we say mental ability...it is the power to learn and retain knowledge. I am a fast learner, one thing i can be proud of myself but i can't say that the knowledge i've learned would retain in my mind. I've read so many books or even watched so many movies but try to ask me a certain character or events that was mentioned there...for sure i would not remember it.
If there's something i love mentally about me is that i am always determined to reach one goal whatever it takes but what i hate about me mentally is that isn't it that brains rules everything and that heart comes after head? Come and visit me again on our last week if you wanna know how i hate myself emotionally..

Possessing a home that stands out from the others is what every one dreams of. Unfortunately, several beginners believe that it as the most daunting task, especially availability of proper guidance. In order to ward off wasting time, money and effort, you need to plan beforehand and keep yourself updated of the current trends and styles of modern home decorating designs by flipping through the magazines and browsing online. For starters, a few of the ground rules on what to do and what to avoid is as follows:
Plan how you wish each room in the house to appear like. The bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, dining room, and living room should all have identical designs but it should equally have distinct personalities.
It is great to go through the Modern home decorating magazines to get ideas and inspirations on how you would want your home look like. Although, at the end, it would be best to incorporate your personal touches to the overall design of the home and not create an exact copy of the image you flip through in the magazine.
You should always consider your home's architectural style and location when planning your interior design. The objective is to utilize its natural assets while displaying your exclusive taste and artistic preferences. A great balance between the two normally results the best outcomes and cuts down the need for frequent redesign.
Facilitate a signature piece, such as modern home decorating artifice, to serve as a centre point for each room of your home. Getting traditional wall decor, not only offers a fresh look and feel to the entire room but will also enable you decide which fabric, furniture and rugs which should be purchased in order to build a significant style and mood.
Coordinate several design components like patterns and color schemes. Wood tone, flooring and linens are significant unifying factors while stripes, checks, and geometric designs may be facilitated in different combinations to stir interest. Don't forget that aesthetic appreciations are always secondary to a room's intended look.
Apply the theory of balance, keeping in mind the visual weight, paring, scale, and symmetry. Repetition of shapes, colors, and fabrics proliferate the style and theme of a room.
Don't let others take decision for you. Albeit asking friends and consultants for opinions can be helpful for you to obtain a fresh perspective but you should never compromise with your own comfort and preferences for the sake of someone's advice.
Don't keep your furniture too far apart. Chairs, tables, and sofa should be put together and must not embrace the walls. This arrangement will allow you to utilize the space more efficiently, like for socializing.
First of all you should get rid of all of the unnecessary and distracting items and keep only useful and appealing items that can be of great use for your modern home decorating practice. Remember that modern home decorating style inclines to minimalism.
Don't opt for cheap decorations. Modern home decorating wall art and other artifice of high artistic level are generally worth every penny when leveraged as the central point of a room's entire layout. However, it would be foolish to spend in trendy articles only since trends are most unpredictable and easily go out of fashion.
Sometimes, merely reshuffling old furniture to obtain larger area and minimal design can lead to the modern look you wish. Or sometimes simply adding a modern wall art piece to get the contemporary style can be awesome.
Selecting shades that is associated with the same color family enable the room look spacious and brighter, which is the primary goal of modern home decorating style.
Comfort should not be compromised for the modern home decorating style. It is imperative to acquire a balance between these two.
These elements generally facilitate traditional designs to ensure that you incorporate them in your modern home decorating design.
It is true that minimum and sleek are the key components for a modern home decorating theme. But it does not manifest that it cannot be thrilling and classic. In fact, most modern home decorating aspects are known for the contrasting shades of red and black and the long lasting visual effect of modern wall piece, metal furniture, metal wall sculptures, and modern accessories.
Considering the aforesaid tips and advices you can acquire the desired modern home decorating concept for decorating your own house. So, next time when you plan for redecorating your home, facilitate these tips and watch the difference!
