Gold Paw is the twelfth episode of the third season of What's New, Scooby-Doo?, and the fortieth overall.
Once again, the gang visits the Secret Six puppies, but come to discover that a man made of gold is haunting Fort Knox.
A delivery truck delivers a pile of gold to Fort Knox. In the gold room, two soldiers are going through the security checklist in the gold. Suddenly, a humanoid gold colored creature emerges from the gold and turns one of the soldiers into gold statues with a single touch, before proceeding to do the same to the other when he tried to escape.
The gang are on their way to Fort Knox to meet with Mr. B and the Secret Six puppies. Upon arriving, they soldiers had them go through a series of checks to be sure they're ok to pass. The General gives them clearance, and each of them almost all-access passes. He apologized for the search and clearance, saying they had to increase security, due to the Gold monster.
The General and Mr. B took them to check out the puppies. They were impressed on how well trained they were, thanks to Drill Sergeant Payne. Shaggy and Scooby get hungry by watching, and the General recommends that they go to the mess hall.
However, they had trouble finding what it looks like, so they just entered one. They found themselves wandering into the gold level, and the monster emerges from the gold itself. Shaggy sets off an alarm, and the monster flees the scene by the time the gang arrived.
Later at night, Fred, Daphne and Velma went out to look for the monster, while Shaggy, Scooby and the Secret Six turn in for the night.
Fred sees someone running around and catches him, thinking it's the monster. But, it turned out to be Travis Knox. Drill Sergeant Payne explains that he sneaks on base all the time. Travis claims to have own the land, and vows to reclaim it. He was then taken away by the army.
Scooby and Shaggy get woken up by the nighttime exercise explosions, and find that the puppies are missing.
While looking for the puppies, they ran into the gold monster, who pursues them using a tank.
They were saved by the others using a helicopter. They explained that the pups are missing, and find Drill Sergeant Payne as a gold statue.
They went back to the barracks, and find the puppies in bed. They also noticed that they had dirt on their paws. Velma points out, that Drill Sergeant Payne had a security badge for a secret device development lab. Fred, Daphne and Velma would check out the lab, while Shaggy, Scooby and the pups went into town to check out Travis Knox.
Meeting Travis in his store, he asked if they'll sign a petition to give Fort Knox back to it's rightful owner. Shaggy agrees, and asked if the gold in the fort is his too. Travis then throws a tantrum, outraged that the army took his land and gold.
Meanwhile, the others find the General in the development lab, and find some kind of goo. The General explains that it's called Shutdown Goo, which is an expandable net that traps anything it covers, which gets Velma thinking.
Back in town, Shaggy, Scooby and the puppies stopped by the Gold-Ade soft drink factory, and meet it's owner Sue Krose. She explains that if the army doesn't stop the explosion exercises, she'll have to shutdown the factory. But, the General won't meet with her, and tried everything to get his attention.
Back at the fort, the others are using special heat-vision goggles to see paw-prints that are invisible to the naked eye. They lead to the Gold room, and to the Gold Monster. They ran past Shaggy, Scooby and the puppies, who follow them into the mess hall, where the monster cornered them. 14-Karat lunges for the monster, but turns into a statue. The rest of the puppies drove the monster away, while the others worry for 14-Karat.
They hear an alarm outside, and see that Sue had parachuted into the fort. She began lecturing the General for the explosion exercises, and if they don't stop, she'll go out of business. The General agrees to meet with her in army jail, ordering the soldiers to take her to the stockade. Freddie declares that they have to find the monster in order to solve the mystery.
In the Gold room, the puppies lead the gang to a tunnel behind the gold. Unknown to them, the monster sees them going inside. The gang wonders if someone broke into the fort, and why the gold wasn't stolen. They then hear tremors, which are caused by the gold monster punching the wall. A cave-in separates Fred, Daphne and Velma from the others. Fred instructs Shaggy to go back to the Gold room, and finds some maps, so they can find a way to get them out.
They find some vents that go to the others. They gave the puppies some digging tools, and proceed through the vents.
Meanwhile, the ones trapped found the other end of the tunnel, wondering if it got sealed. The puppies then show up, and help the gang digging away the dirt. Velma digs at the end of the tunnel, and finds that it leads to the Gold-Ade Factory. She then figured out the mystery, saying that someone was trying to break out of Fort Knox instead of into. Fred comes up with a plan and drafts Shaggy and Scooby to be the bait.
The monster tried to re-enter the gold room, but was unable to because of using an almost all-access pass. Shaggy and Scooby appear, saying that the monster needs a new access card like the one Shaggy's holding. The monster then tries to take it, ending up in a chase. Eventually, the monster gets the card, but it was revealed to have a net inside, which is used to trap him.
The monster is unmasked as Drill Sergeant Payne, who wanted to be a business man and take over Gold-Ade. By causing explosions every hour, he could drive Sue away; then all he needed were the ingredients, and he'd be the solid gold soft-drink king. He trained the Secret Six to stay up late and dig the tunnel in the Gold room, which explains the dirt on their paws. When Daphne asked about the Gold plasma suit, Velma replied that it was so he could hide in plain sight from security; he used the Shutdown Goo to make it look like people had turned to gold statues. After Shaggy says that 14-Karat is still gold, Sergeant Payne then says that 14-Karat is fine, and that he was actually covered in a gold variant of the Shutdown Goo, which peels right off; Shaggy frees 14-Karat by peeling off the gold.
The next day, the General gives gold medals to the Secret Six, and they do a march with Scooby.

The freighter American Spirit was in port here for repairs lately, and seeing her proud name rusting away seemed to cry out for some sort of Independence Day comment, some little State of the Union report.

4 reasons explain why project management is important to your organization
Project management is one of those things that look easy until you try it.
When you hear that project management means managing your team and create a vision for success to deliver your project with less possible time, less cost and more profit, you think that it's an easy job to do but in fact, during the execution, you discover that it's so complicated and require special qualifications and skills.
So it's important for organizations to be keen to qualify their employees and make sure that they have the necessary skills to run a project effectively and maintain their investments.
Here we are explaining why PM important and well worth learning:
Destroy the chaos
Projects are naturally chaotic. The primary business function of PM is organizing and planning projects to tame this chaos.
A clear path mapped out from start to finish ensures the outcome meets the goals of your project.
Ready for surprises
Project management is important because it ensures risks are properly managed and mitigated against to avoid becoming issues.Project management practice will help you to carefully analyze all potential risks to the project, quantify them, develop a mitigation plan against them, and a contingency plan should any of them materialize.
Naturally, risks should be prioritized according to the likelihood of them occurring, and appropriate responses are allocated per risk.
Optimal use of the budget
Project management helps keep projects on budget. A good project management plan identifies anticipated costs early on to develop a realistic budget. Using resource conflict solutions, project managers can minimize the effect of funding a new project on operating capital by optimizing the allocation of workers.
Coordinating tasks and clearly identifying goals or deliverables within phases reduces inefficiencies in time management that can result in being over-budget.
Ensure high quality
Producing faulty goods incurs repair costs and damages the reputation of the firm so, it's priority of project management to identify, manage and control quality to make sure that product will come out in the best image.
There are many reasons explain why companies should qualify their employees or employ people who already have project management skills. If you are looking for a new career in project management or are already working in a project management career – take a look at the certifications we have here to help you make a turning point in your career.
4 Comments
Hi, you should mention also that most of the supply or vendor companies now, in order implement any new project from new software to major restructure, they require the acquiring entity to have a certified PMP to work with.
High Quality doesn't mean best image. This is a very wrong implementation. The Quality approach should be related to requirements and project objectives.

It offers some criticism of the methods of the paper, but in no way is definitive (as the hyperbole in the comments claims).

It should be relatively easy to dig up more dust in the storage site and test it. If that is not happening, then is that because we are not allowed to access the evidence? It's only been 12 years and counting after all.

A lot of debris is stored from the site, and this is of vital public interest, as already stated. We should be able to get the evidence and test it more thoroughly. No?

Some idiot in this comment thread claims that the 9/11 truth movement never proved anything at all? That's criminal ignorance. The cover up is proven (a thousand times, and a thousand different ways), and this cover-up, which clearly protects the regime in Saudi Arabia is arguably high treason. Treason is "aid and comfort" to an enemy that attacks the nation. Covering up the role of the Saudi regime in 9/11 is aid and comfort.

While the focus is on the minutia of chemical reactions, the big picture is far more clear: cover-up of the truth by the US government. That is undeniable.

In addition to the flaws you mention, the authors failed to perform the definitive test for thermite: they failed to try and burn it under argon or under water to see if it combusted. Since thermite produces its own oxygen, that would have been a test I would have required.

I'd also have liked to see better compositional analysis - mass spec at least. But that might just be me. At any rate, the authors' conclusion is completely unsupported by their data and that paper should never have been published.

I guess we could look on the bright side: with the publishing of this paper, we have good evidence that Bentham Journals are NOT peer reviewed.

And Anonymous? Iron spheres come from a lot of sources: pozzolanic materials in concrete, toner cartridges in printers, welding spatter from construction and repair and combustion of rust flakes.

A TV documentary which purported to explain the collapses of the Twin Towers featured a demonstration in which a house-of-cards like structure representing one of the towers was supposed to collapse from the top down. The documentary showed only the beginning of this simulated building collapse, since the producers were apparently unable to achieve progressive total collapse. This raises the question: If this newly discovered mode of structural failure is so likely to happen, why is it so difficult to reproduce?

THE PROGRESSIVE COLLAPSE CHALLENGE

The challenge is in 5 parts, from the easiest to the most difficult.

All five require building a structure that will undergo top-down progressive total collapse -- i.e.: when disturbed near the top, it will collapse from the top down to the bottom, leaving no part standing. The disturbance can include mechanical force, such as projectile impacts, and fires, augmented with hydrocarbon fuels. Explosives and electromagnetic energy beams are not permitted.

Your structure can be made out of anything: straws, toothpicks, cards, dominoes, mud, vegetables, pancakes, etc.

The designers of the Twin Towers were able to meet all 5 challenges using steel and concrete.

CHALLENGE #1:

Build a structure with a vertical aspect ratio of at least 2 (twice as tall as it is wide) and induce it to undergo top-down total progressive collapse.

CHALLENGE #2:

Build a structure with a square footprint and a vertical aspect ratio of at least 6.5 (6.5 times as high as it is wide), and induce it to undergo top-down total progressive collapse.

CHALLENGE #3:

Build a structure as required by CHALLENGE #2 which, in the process of collapsing, will throw pieces outward in all directions such that at least 80% of the mass of the materials ends up lying outside of the footprint, but their center of mass lies inside the footprint.

CHALLENGE #4:

Build a structure as required by CHALLENGE #2 which is capable of remaining intact in 100 MPH cross wind.

CHALLENGE #5:

Build a structure that meets the requirements of both CHALLENGES #3 and #4.

However, to me, the visual evidence of the collapse of those buildings, especially WTC 7, which falls exactly like a demolition, leaves no other explanation than controlled demolition. It seem miraculous to me that some random force like fire and structurla damage could by themselve choreograph this effect spontaneously--something never seen before or after. For all practical purposes I consider it impossible. These things have been explained very convincingly by the many engineers and scientists researching this topic for the last few years, in sites like Architects and Engineers for 911 Truth (http://www.ae911truth.org/) Scholars for 911 Truth (http://stj911.org/), Jim Hoffman's site http://911research.wtc7.net/ and many others.Franciscohttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4828122657384873884.post-78124743694512835202010-12-23T18:37:27.650-05:002010-12-23T18:37:27.650-05:00These are some general comments/questions after re...These are some general comments/questions after reading your material on the 9/11 issue through several posts, Dr. Rancourt.

First, allow me to congratulate you for your courage and independence of thought. All too rare these days.

I have not noticed any reference to Dr. Steve Jones' work on the controlled demolition issue but would like to hear any thoughts you may have on his works.

Elsewhere, I noticed that you were impressed by the notion that there's pods attached to the planes. This, along with the no plane in the pentagon stuff, I have always regarded as the most specious of purported 9/11 truthes' claims - likely disinformation. Have you seen the site 911research? I encourage you to see this page if you haven't already: http://911review.com/disinfo/index.html ... this is an excellent site to explore if you have not already.

Also, you seem to discount the controlled demolition evidence based on this apparently sloppy article, but note elsewhere that WTC7 leaves little other plausible explanation.

Finally, I would say the importance of establishing physical proof of controlled demolition is of the utmost importance, if it's the truth, because it provides a smoking gun that has obvious and incontrovertible implications of a high level firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4828122657384873884.post-8302803602426665192010-12-23T11:47:14.144-05:002010-12-23T11:47:14.144-05:00@Interviewer from gulli.com Just to clarify.

Just to clarify.

The document you posted was produced during an ongoing email discussion about my critical review of the Harrit paper.

The discussion is presently centered only on the first point regarding conclusive evidence that Al was present in the red layer.

For example, Dr. Harrit has agreed to provide key SEM-EDX spectral data that did not accompany the original published article.

After the first point, I hope that each following point can also be discussed to completion.

After these discussions are over (for example if one side abandons and refuses to continue clarifications) I intend to make the entire and very lively exchange public.

Umm... gee... Professor... is there some reason you failed to cite a signal paper and why absolutely no one has found that rusted steel exhibits an explosive reaction in fires?

If you are too stupid or deluded to figure out that "global warming" is a fraud and the 9/11 was staged by the US government, perhaps you should do us all favor stick to something you actually seem capable of doing half-decently, like exposing misconduct at the University of Ottawa.

Here we are, sitting on a hot plane on the Tarmac with two aggy kids is not the one. 35 minutes till we take off – 😭😭.
They are bored with their iPads already, it's going to be a long flight.
We have had a lovely holiday, full of sun, sea and sangria! Yay! Lots of memories made to cherish, kids have loved every minute. They are going to miss being able to go in the pool anytime they want. Back to the restriction of clothes. The boys have loved walking around naked. Monkeys.
I'm looking forward to getting back to our routine, kids back in nursery and back to normal bedtimes!
My son is currently shouting out "GO CAPTAIN" – cracks me up. They love an aeroplane, they get so excited. Love watching their little faces when they see a plane.
We can't wait to be home sweet home, reunited with our Travis. His probably forgot who I am.
Oh well, blog soon X

Saturday 29th June 4pm further update
The health check report highlights that the fish mortalities were caused by spawning failure due to erratic weather conditions with the carp being somewhat susceptible to this due to not being in the best of condition associated with high levels of stress.
These high levels of stress following spawning are more than likely due to the high stock level and angling pressure at Broadwater.
Saturday 29th June 8am update
Broadwater will be reopeing at midnight on Sunday 30th June for the new season.
We are delighted to be able to confirm that the fish mortalaties were not due to any fish diseases or significant water quality problems.
A futher update will be added to this report later today with further background information including a summary of the results of the health check.
Saturday 22nd June midday update
Since visit of the EA it has been decided to get a full health check on a sample of fish.
Following this visit aquatic Consultants have been contacted and it would seem that the mortalities over the past few months are possibly spawning related that could be directly connected to the unusual weather conditions that have prevailed since February. Therefore the aquatic Consultants will be collecting a sample of fish on 27th June for a full health check. Once the results are known then a decision will then made as regards opening the lake to angling and a further update will be posted.
Wednesday 19th June 2pm update
There havn't been any more fish deaths so far today and no large amounts of fish in distress. The fish that was particularly distressed was caught and removed from the lake. On inspection by the EA officer and ourselves the gills showed no signs of any disease. The fish had very badly deformed spine and hence had swimming difficulties.
The EA are providing a transit tank to transport live fish samples to the EA labs at Brampton if required. The lake will now be monitored for the coming days for further mortalities. Should no further deaths occur then the live sampling will be delayed.
Wednesday 19th June 8am
Since reopening the lake at 5pm on Saturday 15th June new fish mortalities have occurred.
On the evening of Tuesday 18th June in particular a number of carp were seen in distress.
Currently it is not known what is causing these problems which includes random ongoing mortalaties.
Therefore our Fisheries Management Secretary took the decision to close the lake to fishing again until further notice.
The EA will be visiting today Wednesday 19th June to take samples of live fish away for investigation.
We will update this news item as regularly as we can as and when we have any new information.

… As company celebrates a decade of business in Botswana
Liberty Life Botswana has grown from one client in 2008 to 165 corporate clients in a period of a decade operating in the local market.
The company's Managing Director, Lulu Rasebotsa, told stakeholders on Thursday evening that not only did the company see an increase in client base; it has also diversified its product portfolio.
"Our product range has diversified to now include a retail offering with flagship products such as our Platinum Life Cover, Critical Illness, and of late our Living Annuity, just to mention a few," Rasebotsa said as she welcomed guests to the event.
Rasebotsa paid a special tribute to the company's customers, saying Liberty's existence is rooted in commitment to its customers.
"That is why we believe firmly that, Liberty is not just our name – it's what we do," she said.
Looking back on Liberty's 10 year journey in Botswana, Rasebotsa said when the company first opened its doors it had just four employees and has over the years grown to a staff compliment of 24 permanent staff members, complemented by over 25 Direct Sales agents and franchises.
Acting South Africa High Commissioner to Botswana, Bulelwa Kiva – who graced the event as a guest speaker – Liberty Life Botswana has, in the first 10 years of opening its doors in Botswana, demonstrated the traits of an exemplary corporate citizen, existing to serve the people of Botswana, creating products that offer clients financial freedom and peace of mind during unforeseen circumstances.
"Allow me to applaud you for putting your customers first, listening andunderstanding their needs and using those insights to enable you to create solutions that are customer focused and cater for Batswana," said Kiva.
Kiva said Botswana and South Africa have come a long way in establishing and nurturing the socio-economic growth vehicles based on the cordial relations the two countries have enjoyed over the last 24 years.
Kiva congratulated Liberty Life in existing to enhance people's lives by making financial freedom possible.
She further commended Liberty Life for creating meaningful job opportunities in the last 10 years and in the process making a notable contribution to the economy of Botswana.
Kiva said Liberty Life's continental footprint is aiding to ensure regional stability and greater economic co-operation and sustainable development, helping to achieve the vision of a connected prosperous African continent; something the South African government supports greatly along with other regional governments.

For our second Geek Of The Week, I had to choose Linus Torvalds. He is one of the most famous IT geeks that has ever lived! I would venture to say he is in the all time top 5 (probably more like the all time top 3).
Torvalds is credited with the invention of the Linux kernel, and largely credited with beginning the Open Source Software movement. He was the first person to (more than casually) persuade the IT industry that operating system software should be free. This sent waves through the tech industry that have not calmed… even to this day.
Torvalds in 1991
As the years progressed, the Linux OS has become a viable option for home users and businesses alike. It's powerful enough for enterprise computing, customizable enough to keep geeks happy, and user-friendly enough for casual users. Today Linux is everywhere! From surveillance cameras to wireless routers, many modern devices are powered by Linux. Torvalds created the original Linux kernel as his Senior Thesis, and he had no idea how far it would go or what he would inspire. Thanks Linus.

After you've visited the first screens of the Mac Setup Wizard, where you signed in with your Apple ID, connect to a network, and so on, your work is not complete. Here are 18 settings that you can change or at least check on your new MacBook.
Check for updates
Has Apple released an update to MacOS since it created your MacBook? To find out, click on the Apple Button in the upper left corner of your screen and then on About This Mac . You should be staring at the General tab of the About this Mac window. In this case, click the Software Update button. This will start the system settings to check for updates.
Battery percentage display

Acupuncture has been practiced for over 2,000 years, making it one of the oldest types of natural remedies. Practices range from ancient Chinese traditional teaching to modern scientifically taught techniques. Acupuncture supplies are readily available online, but they are closely monitored in Australia and should be used by a trained professional.How It Works
Acupuncture involves placing very fine, sterile needles into acupuncture points to promote pain relief and healing. Chinese practitioners believe that many physical conditions are caused by blockages in energy flow (or qi) within the body, and that acupuncture helps to relieve the blockages. While modern scientists might not believe in the principles of qi, there is strong scientific evidence that acupuncture helps with a wide range of conditions.Electroacupuncture
Electroacupuncture works on similar principles to traditional acupuncture, except a small electrical current is sent between two needles to stimulate a wider area. It also means that the needles don't need to be placed as precisely. It is unsuitable for people with a cardiac condition and should never be used near the heart. Electroacupuncture requires an additional machine to deliver the current between needles, and electroacupuncture supplies should be carefully selected to achieve effective results.Choosing Supplies
Acupuncture needles come in different sizes and lengths, depending on the area being treated. The most common needle length for Chinese acupuncture is around 40mm. Experienced practitioners will be able to place the needles by hand, but other needles come with injectors to assist with placement. The majority of needles used in Australia are single-use, individually packaged stainless steel needles. Cheaper, unbranded acupuncture needles and supplies are obtainable, but it is important to remember that acupuncture needles in Australia come under the Therapeutic Goods Administration's Good Manufacturing Practice Legislation and should be approved by that organisation before use.Complementary Therapies
Along with individual acupuncture needles some people believe in micro-needling, which uses a roller with very fine needles to stimulate the skin. Other therapies that are thought to unblock a person's qi are cupping, massage and laser therapy. These supplies are also readily available online but are best used by a trained professional.

For today's edition of Dear Mark, I'm answering two questions about two recent studies. First, given that the omega-3 alpha linolenic acid (ALA) has been shown to reduce some of the positive effects of exercise on rats' metabolic health, could the omega-3s found in fish oil (DHA and EPA) also nullify exercise benefits? Second, what are my thoughts on the recent study showing a link between breakfast skipping and subclinical atherosclerosis?
Ethan asked:
So what does the ALA study say about fish oil supplementation? Or do we expect this adverse effects were specifically caused by ALA and wouldn't be caused by DHA or EPA?
Not sure, to be honest. There is one study from 1998 where dietary fish oil had beneficial immune effects in sedentary rats, enhancing the anti-tumor activity of killer T cells, but not in people who exercised.
What's interesting about this study is that ALA and exercise were independently protective, but there was no additive effect. That is, if you just took ALA or just exercised, your body would get better at handling glucose and your body fat would be more insulin sensitive. But if you added it to exercise, the ALA would cancel out instead of enhance the effect.
There are some possible explanations. Maybe the rodents weren't training hard enough. The authors note that this particular breed tends to go easy on the rat wheel. They don't sprint, in other words. ALA (or fish oil) might pair better with more intense training.
These were rats eating extremely large amounts of flax oil (10% of calories) to get the ALA. That's not a good idea for anyone, rat or human. Just as it's not a good idea to eat 10% of your calories as fish oil. Smaller, more realistic omega-3 intakes at 1-2% of your calories could very well have a much different effect on exercise adaptations.
I wouldn't worry too much. Even if fish oil impairs to some extent the metabolic adaptations of white adipose tissue, most of the research we have suggests that DHA and EPA supplementation enhances many other responses to exercise:
- Improves anaerobic endurance capacity, leaves strength, speed, power unchanged in soccer players.
- Speeds up muscle protein synthesis in elderly adults.
- Increases body fat loss.
Of course, there's the fact that fish oil seems to reduce post-exercise muscle damage and soreness. Is this good or bad? Taking fish oil to reduce muscle damage can speed up recovery and allow athletes to return to training or competition more quickly. But muscle damage is exactly what we recover from and, presumably, adapt to. Is fish oil speeding up the adaptation or short changing the stimulus?
In rats with atrophied muscles because of forced bed rest, eating fish oil inhibits the early stage of muscle recovery from atrophy—but they're not training. They're just ending bed rest. It's not comparing apples to apples.
Fish oil actually increases muscle protein synthesis, as seen in the above study in elderly adults. It makes muscles more receptive to protein. While enormous doses of fish oil (10% of calories) may induce a huge anti-inflammatory effect that inhibits muscular adaptations similar to ibuprofen, most people aren't (and shouldn't be) eating that much fish oil.
I wouldn't worry about taking normal doses of fish oil or eating fatty fish.
Hi there. Does anybody (ahem, Mark) have an inclination to weigh in upon the conclusions of this recent study concerning the linear relationship of arterial plaque preponderance and those who the least amount of daily calories for breakfast? I couldn't find the ultimate sponsor of the study but even though it is another questionaire study, it is intriguing….
Sure, I'll take a stab.
It's not the first study to show that people who skip or eat small amounts of breakfast are more likely to have health issues. Plenty of other observational studies have found similar results.
- Among Japanese adults, skipping breakfast was linked to greater body weight and waist size.
- Among American young adults, breakfast skippers weigh more, have more abdominal obesity, and an elevated cardiometabolic risk profile.
- On the other hand, among white and black American teenage girls, eating breakfast is linked to a lower body weight.
There are some confounding variables I find likely to play a role in this and other similar studies.
Healthy user bias. Everyone "knows" that skipping breakfast is bad for you, so breakfast skippers are more likely to exhibit other kinds of unhealthy behaviors like smoking, drinking to excess, not exercising. Sure enough, breakfast skippers eat more and exercise less, and they're more likely to drink more alcohol and smoke more cigarettes. What if a breakfast skipper eats less overall, exercises regularly, drinks moderately or not at all, and never touches cigarettes? Is he or she in the same position as a breakfast skipper who does the opposite?
Is there a difference between the dietary composition of breakfast skippers and breakfast eaters? Probably so. In one study, Iranian children who skipped breakfast also ate way more fast food, sugary soda, salty snacks, and juice, and way less fruits, vegetables, and milk than those who ate breakfast. In the study mentioned earlier, the teen girls who skipped breakfast also ate less fiber (a marker of whole food/vegetable intake) and calcium. Is it breakfast skipping or is it all the junk and lack of nutrients?
They're dieting. A common strategy when dieting is to skip breakfast. If you're dieting, you probably have weight to lose, and it's not surprising that people who have weight to lose have many of the diseases and disorders associated with extra weight. Maybe breakfast eaters are eating breakfast because they're already healthy and at their goal weight.
Not everyone skips breakfast for the right reasons. How many balls of stress do you know who skip breakfast because they simply don't have the time and then proceed to pig out in the break room, at lunch, and on through the rest of the day? Skipping breakfast is a very different experience when you're a fat-burning beast.
In this latest study, we find our suspicions validated….
Breakfast skippers were more overweight. They were more likely to be smokers. They drank the most. They drank the most sugar sweetened beverages. They had more diabetes. They had higher fasting glucose, larger waists, and higher blood pressure. They were more likely to carry established cardiovascular risk factors.
While the researchers said that controlling for these variables did not abolish the link between small breakfasts or breakfast skipping and subclinical atherosclerosis, it greatly reduced the relationship.
I wouldn't worry too much. If you currently employ a compressed eating window or IF by skipping breakfast and are the worrying sort, you could try skipping dinners instead.
Hope it helps.
Thanks for reading, everyone. Take care, be well, and chime in below with your own input!

UP: Teenager Set On Fire By Six Men For Refusing Their Sexual Advances
On August 17, a minor was set ablaze at her residence in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh by six men. The 14-year-old is battling for her life at Delhi's Safdarjung Hospital after she received high degree burns.
According to The Hindu, the tenth class student was sexually harassed by the accused. The accused, who lives in the same locality as that of the victim, kept harassing the girl with sexual advances. When the girl did not respond to any of that, the accused, along with his friends, barged into her house, thrashed the girl and her mother. The family claims that the girl was then set ablaze by the six men for refusing to talk to them.
"Five persons have been arrested in connection with the case," said Senior Superintendent of Police (Meerut) Rajesh Kumar Pandey.
Fighting for her life
The minor is fighting for her life in Safdarjung Hospital, Delhi. The hospital medical superintendent Rajendra Sharma said, "The girl was brought here in a critical state. She has 60 per cent deep burns and smoke inhalation injuries. The girl is being looked after by a team of doctors."
The 55-year-old victim's grandfather, in his testimony, has identified the six accused as – Rajvansh Bagdi, Devendra Bagdi, Rohit Saini, Gajraj Saini, Aman and Deepak. He has alleged that the six men barged into their house and before pouring kerosene on the victim, the men thrashed her. According to him, the victim's grandmother was also present during the incident.
Other family members' claim
The other family members also narrated the incident, and they claimed that the main accused Rohit was forcing the victim to talk to him. He was following the girl after her tuition and was pursuing her to speak to him for the last three-four days. "After the girl refused to talk to him, On August 16, Rohit and his friends stopped her, while she was returning from tuitions, held her hand and asked her to come with them," they claimed.
Following which the girl resisted and then the accused threw a mobile phone in her bag and left. According to the grandfather, while leaving the place, the accused shouted that she would receive a call in the evening and if she doesn't pick up the call then they (accused) would harm her family.
The girl narrated the entire incident to her parents after she arrived home. The girl's family decided to speak to the accused's parents. Later in the night at around 8 pm, the girl received a call on the phone and her father answered the call.
Scolded by the father
The victim's father scolded the man over the phone and asked him to stop harassing his daughter. The parents then went to Rohit's house to speak to his parents.
The grandfather further said that the accused's parents assured the girl's family that they would make him understand. They also asked the girl's family not to file a police complaint as it would bring a bad name to their family. However, the accused again called the girl at 1 a.m and was again scolded by the father.
On the day of the incident
Next morning, the two accused came to the girl's house with an excuse to get their phone back. "First, they sweet-talked and then started an argument. They threatened to upload videos and pictures of the girl on the internet that would ruin her life. Eventually, they pulled out their belts and started beating the girl and her mother. Then two men called a few others who brought kerosene and set her on fire before fleeing," said the 55-year-old.
Meanwhile, the neighbours immediately gathered and rushed the girl to a hospital where she underwent treatment. On Monday, the girl was sent to the Safdarjung Hospital for further treatment.
Change in the statement
In an earlier report, the Meerut Police had said that the girl had set herself on fire after being harassed and threatened by the accused. "Right after the incident, the father had stated the same, however, at the time of lodging complaint, said that she was set ablaze by the accused," said the Senior Superintendent of police while speaking to The Hindu.
The police also said that they are giving full assistance to the victim and her family in every way.
Meanwhile, the grandfather also clarified the change in father's testimony. He said that the victim's father was initially unaware of the events as he was not present when it happened. The women of the family later informed the father, the grandfather said.

Lisbon's has lots to offer. Also the hostel industry is in good condition. After all this is the home of at least 5 best award-winning hostels in the Hostel World rating HOSCARS 2017.
So imagine me, a hostel freak, how eager I was to visit Lisbon and check out whats up in its hostels. My choice was Lisbon Calling Hostel which was featured by Momondo as one of its favourite hostels in Lisbon….
This hostel is rocking since 2008 and after almost 10 years of being on the market they are still on the top.
With the backpack full I have reached the Cais do Sodré Station. 5 minutes of walk and I have found myself in front of the typical portuguese building. Even though inconspicuous, on the 3rd floor you will discover the whole floor of a rustic portuguese flat converted into a hostel.
Just when you go out from the hostel you cross charming São Paulo Square where you can enjoy coffee in one of its cafeterias (and Portuguese coffee is good and cheap!). The neighbourhood is full of restaurants and for those seeking for the night adrenaline it is a perfect spot as it becomes lively as the sun goes down.
And in case you will get hungry the Time Out market just around a corner is a perfect solution.
While walking around in Lisbon, climbing its small streets in Alfama, I realized how lucky I am not to need to climb those streets with my backpack while trying to reach the hostel (as I saw many people needed to do it since they had accommodation in this part of the city).
What can I say? I couldn't ask for better location!
The hostel itself is not big. I could definitely categorize it as family type. I was staying in the part where the shared dormitories are. Private rooms are located on the other side of the floor.
My room, called "Fresco", was a 10 bed dorm. After a while of not staying in the hostels shared rooms I wasn't sure if I can handle so much people in one room. But fortunately the room was spacious and the upper bunks where really high. That's what I loved the most. The locker was big enough to hide both my backpack (35 L) and a small bag (take your own padlock).
If you will take a closer look at the walls you will see old, typical design which, as I've been told, was discovered by the owners while renovating the flat (not on the picture above).
The common areas are cozy, vintage designed and with veeeery comfortable sofas. The table made from the bath is a BIG WOW. And preparing a meal in an old style kitchen is an experience worth to try.
Moreover, once you cross threshold of the hostel you can feel the artistic vibe. And not to only feel but also see. Guys are supporting local artists (Yes, hostels do that quite often!).
If you are looking for the relaxed, home-feeling place Lisbon Calling Hostel should be your choice. It is not a big hostel and for sure it is perfect for the families. You will not find here pub crawls nor beer pongs. However, interesting talks and people to go out, for sure are included in the price.
I couldn't ask for more during my stay in Lisbon. Artistic vibe, interesting interior and friendly treatment. These are the best phrases that can describe Lisbon Calling Hostel.
Big thanks to all the team for having me under your rooftop. Next time I'm coming back to check out private rooms!
1. Take your own padlock
2. Try food on Time Out market
3. Yes, there is WiFi
4. Take the Bica Funicular, 5 minutes away from the hostel and go to Santa Catalina point view
5. Go for the Lisbon Street Art Tour and discover the city from another point of view!
6. Book directly with Lisbon Calling Hostel in here.
Like it? Pin it!

Hackers Claim Myanmar Magazine Supports Jihad, Wish Everyone an (Early) Happy Halloween
Of the many recent fear-mongering statements about the threat of radical Islam, the one hackers put on Myanmar's Irrawaddy magazine's website on Thursday was among the strangest. "Irrawaddy supports Jihad and Radical Muslims. For the defend of Muslims and Allah, Irrawaddy have shown attacking Buddhists and others Non-Muslims with Media News," read the message — ...
Of the many recent fear-mongering statements about the threat of radical Islam, the one hackers put on Myanmar's Irrawaddy magazine's website on Thursday was among the strangest.
"Irrawaddy supports Jihad and Radical Muslims. For the defend of Muslims and Allah, Irrawaddy have shown attacking Buddhists and others Non-Muslims with Media News," read the message — since removed — on the Irrawaddy's homepage. "Therefore, BLINK HACKER GROUP (BHG) take site page down with so called INTERNET FREEDOM OF HACKING. Buahahhaa…. Happy Halloween knock your door first :)" [sic].
The hacking was apparently provoked by an article the pro-democracy Irrawaddy posted on Wednesday, which raised concerns about a cooperation agreement between the radical Buddhist 969 movement in Myanmar, formerly called Burma, and Sri Lanka's equally radical Bodu Bala Sena (BBS) Buddhist group. Both groups have been linked to deadly attacks on Muslims in their respective countries. In the agreement, they pledged "collective actions" against "incursions taking place under the guise of secular, multicultural and other liberal notions that are directly impacting on the Buddhist ethos and space." The Irrawaddy article, which noted the ominous overtones of such a pact, evidently incensed the hackers, who seem to sympathize with the cause of militant Buddhism. "The Irrawaddy group have too many attempts at attacking Buddhism with so called FREEDOM OF SPEECH without Journalism ethics," they wrote on the magazine's website.
Many Myanmar news websites have been hacked, but this attack comes at a time when anti-Muslim sentiment is increasing across Myanmar. And that trend may prove very useful for the government, said Jennifer Quigley, president of the U.S. Campaign for Burma advocacy group. With what are scheduled to be potentially the first democratic general elections recognized in Myanmar since 1960 a little more than a year away, Myanmar's junta government is trying to gain support from a wide range of groups that have traditionally chafed under the regime's dictatorship, she said. These include many of Myanmar's armed ethnic minorities, and in a radio address on Wednesday, President Thein Sein highlighted the importance of coming to a cease-fire with these groups before the elections. Faced with a tough struggle for unity, "Buddhist nationalism is the issue that the government is using to get the majority of the population on their side," Quigley said.
It's unclear whether the Buddhist nationalist sentiment conveyed in the Irrawaddy's hacking — not its first — was part of a broader strategy. The self-styled Blink Hacker Group, whose members' identity is unknown, writes on its Facebook page: "We are not Government hackers nor Anti-Gov hackers," and has also claimed attacks on governmental sites.
But Aung Zaw, the Irrawaddy's founder and editor, wasn't so sure. "It doesn't mean they are anti-regime," he said. Although he didn't know who the hackers were or where they were based, he said the Irrawaddy seemed to have been targeted in the past for casting the government in a bad light. "The regime people are very active in cyber warfare, in social media and have resources and pushing religious violence, so we wonder who are the real culprits!"
Elsewhere in the region this week, a Cambodian court freed two members of a local offshoot of the Anonymous "hacktivist" group who had been imprisoned after making attacks on several government websites, because they had agreed to now "help police work in combating information technology crimes." Tech skills are hard to come by in both Cambodia and Myanmar, where internet penetration remains very low.
Regardless of where Myanmar's hackings come from, it seems clear that as the fraught elections draw closer and the rhetoric escalates, this won't be the last attack in the name of Buddhist nationalism, online or off.

White Papers and Application Notes
Modeling, Simulation, and Optimization of Piezoelectric Bimorph Transducer for Broadband Vibration Energy Harvesting in Multi-Beam and Trapezoidal Approach
The objective of the research is to design a broadband energy harvester device through the multi-beam approach and non-linear trapezoidal geometry approach. The performance of two piezoelectric PZT-PZN polycrystalline ceramic composition samples are simulated in COMSOL Multiphysics®, and results are compared using series configuration of a bimorph energy harvester which vibrates near the its respective fundamental frequency. Designing and simulating a trapezoidal piezoelectric bimorph cantilever has its own challenges: simulating a trapezoidal piezoelectric beam requires a good engineering judgement to reject unrealistic voltage and power performance measures based on the specific trapezoidal geometry design. The weakest structural location is around the joint area or narrowest area of the trapezoidal beam. Applying mechanical vibration on the trapezoidal beam at its natural frequency in some cases cause collapse of the beam structure as the high strain and stress appears on the narrowest area of the trapezoidal beam. Therefore, a good engineering balance needs to be kept between reaching the broadband frequency response of a trapezoidal piezoelectric beam and maintaining the structural stability of a trapezoidal piezoelectric beam. Authors believe that the multi-beam and the trapezoidal beam design leads to broader band frequency response.

Troubles seem to be continuing for Wells Fargo WFC with regard to finding its next CEO. At a Senate Banking Committee hearing, the Comptroller of the Currency Joseph Otting stated that the regulator will be reviewing the bank's pick for its CEO.
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency will be using special powers that are reserved for financially troubled lenders to review proposed candidates. Nonetheless, the regulator, at present, has no plans to make the findings from the review public.
This development will likely to further complicate the matter as the bank is already facing a number of problems in finding replacement for former CEO Tom Sloan, who abruptly resigned in March. He became the second CEO to leave Wells Fargo since the sales practice scandal was revealed in September 2016. (Read more: Wells Fargo CEO Sloan Announces Plan to Step Down)
Though the bank has hired an executive search firm for finding the next CEO, the search is getting hampered by limitations on pay, per a Reuters report.
Notably, the bank's CEO pay package is at the bottom of the pack when compared with other U.S. big banks. Last year, Sloan's pay package was $18.4 million compared with $31 million for JPMorgan's JPM Jamie Dimon, $26.5 million for Bank of America's BAC Brian Moynihan and $24 million for Citigroup's C Michael Corbat.
Well Fargo is looking for an outsider (preferably from outside the banking sector) as the company is facing heavy criticism for top management's failure to turn things around. However, stringent regulatory and congressional scrutiny of the new CEO is likely to narrow down the number of candidates.
Additionally, the next CEO will be required to work for turning around the company's fortune and name, which nosedived following the sales and subsequent auto lending scandals. Further, the Federal Reserve has placed a cap on its asset size until regulators are satisfied with the company's progress on corporate governance issues.
Currently, the company's general counsel C. Allen Parker is acting as the interim CEO. Notably, during first-quarter 2019 earnings conference call, Parker commented that new CEO will likely be appointed by 2020.
Over the past year, shares of Wells Fargo have lost 15.4% compared with industry's decline of 9.4%.
Currently, Wells Fargo carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

One thing that is extremely popular with clients is them wearing panties, today alone a few called wearing them, not just panties, but decked out in a bra, stockings, the whole lingerie package. They love to make a whole ritual out of getting dressed up before they masturbate. One was using a vibe on his cock as he talked, he holds the tip of the vibe on the head of his cock. Many that call using vibes are using them up their ass, a prostate massager many of the times, others are using their girlfriend or wife's vibe and the lady has no clue. I wouldn't be thrilled to use a vibe that had been up anyone else's ass.
One man said all his three wives had known about his obsession with panties. The first wanted no part of it and it was not spoken of, so he did it on the sly. The second wife, was thrilled about it and they would even get matching panties and he said they behaved "like lipstick lesbians", and she was an active participant in these panty games until she passed away. His third and current wife, is more like the first, she knows about it, but is not really wanting any involvement in it.
Women will often have different reactions to their partner in panties. Some are ok with it, even have fun with it, others want no part of what they consider a perversion. So I can understand many just find it easier to remain quiet than chance such a revelation being a deal breaker for the relationship. Sometimes it's just easier to remain quiet about it than chance ruining what you value as a relationship.
