Every now and then, someone in your newsfeed will put up a plea or threat for friends to stop sending game requests or invites. I got news for you: the person you're aiming it to is too busy playing games to notice. In fact, putting a stop to this is in your hands and it doesn't involve unfriending people (unless you're looking for an excuse to, then by all means go ahead).
Step 1
First, access your Games page under Apps.
Step 2
Click on Activity.
Step 3
I'm gonna stop here and clarify some terms on the tabs:
- Invites – games you're not playing or not linked to your FB account, and probably the bane of your existence right now.
- Requests – games that you do play on FB or linked via mobile. These are lives and stuff that you want, so we'll skip this bit.
Click on Invite, and you'll see the invites broken down by type of games and which of your friends who are constantly annoying you with them. From here on, you need to identify two things:
- Popular games that everyone but you are playing
- The serial gamer who sent you invites for many, many games and apps.
If your Game Activity page is currently full of invites, you should be able to tell at a glance who the repeat offenders are. If you can't remember, leave the game invites to pile up for a week.
Step 4
Observe that there are two buttons next to every invitation – X and Accept. For this example, I clicked on the X next to the first of the three invites one of my friends sent me for Candy Crush Saga. The invite is cancelled and you are presented with two options:
- Block [game]
- Ignore all requests from [friend]
If it is a popular game that I know I won't be playing, choose 'Block [game]'. Nobody will be able to send you any sort of request from that game.
If it's a serial gamer who blindly send invites to everybody, choose the second option: Ignore all requests from [friend]. No matter what that friend plays, they will never be able to send you anything from any app.
Step 5
This is the dialogue box you get when you click ' Ignore all requests from [friend]'. Click OK and you'll never get invited by this person to play a game or try any app ever again.
Step 6
I hit 'Ignore All' for CSI. This is the notification box you get (bottom).
I only had one invite after 24 hours of begging my friends to send me invites, so I have to conclude that they are either busy playing or already blocked. If you have a full page of invites, similar options will likely be available so pick the one most relevant to you.
Step 7
This is what it looks like when you choose 'Block [game]'.
These steps also work if you've stopped playing a game but you're still getting requests. Go to the Request tab (See Step 3) and block the game from there.
Occasional maintenance is necessary, especially when a new game or app hits the market. I've implemented this for my own profile a long time ago and game invites are extremely rare these days because all the usual suspects have been blocked.
Now you know!

Two enterprising First Nations have teamed up to address a shortage of transient worker accommodations along the north shore of Lake Superior.
GMS Camps and Catering L.P. is a newly created three-way company partnership between Pic Mobert First Nation, Biigtigong Nishnaabeg (formerly Pic River First Nation) and the Morris Group of Companies from Sudbury.
With hotel parking lots in the area full due to the bustling mining and forestry activity, GMS acquired two former roadside motel properties on the Trans-Canada Highway, roughly a four-hour drive each way between Thunder Bay and Sault Ste. Marie.
"We're in the thick of everything that's going on in the area," said Steven McCoy, a business development officer with White Lake Limited Partnership, the economic development arm of Pic Mobert.
"There's a lot of development going on with mining, forestry, construction and we believe there's a lot more coming, so that's why we've positioned ourselves by these accommodations."
With Harte Gold bringing its Sugar Zone deposit into commercial production north of White River and the rebound in the area's forestry industry, including Pic Mobert's own business interests at sawmills in White River and Hornepayne, McCoy said there are plenty of business opportunities out there to tap into.
But the mega-project everyone is waiting on is construction of the East-West Tie transmission line, the 400-kilometre-long power line upgrading project between Wawa and Thunder Bay.
The construction start is on hold pending the outcome of Ontario Energy Board hearings this fall on two competing bids from NextBridge and Hydro One.
"We're anticipating more of a boom in the area and we identified there was a gap in the accommodation coverage, and that's where GMS Camps and Catering came about," said McCoy.
The previous owner of the Peninsula Inn and Wayfare Inn had no use for the two properties, located on opposite sides of Highway 17 near the Marathon Airport, and McCoy said they were able to secure a good deal for both sites.
The refurbished properties offer a combined 50 single and double units with accommodations for 75.
An upstairs three-bedroom apartment over the office at the former Peninsula Inn has been renovated into an executive suite, complete with updated kitchen, dining, work and living space for long-term rentals.
The onsite banquet hall at the former Wayfare site can host 75 to 100 for meals or be converted into a training facility. Supercom Industries L.P., a First Nation-owned contracting and training entity, held sessions there last summer for new employees who will be working on the East-West Tie.
Employment-wise, McCoy said the two sites are creating a handful of First Nation jobs in housekeeping and maintenance positions.
The Morris Group entered the picture, McCoy said, because of White Lake's familiarity with them through their involvement in the Harte Gold worker camp in White River. The Sudbury company specializes in industrial pre-fabricated buildings and workforce housing.
Outland Camps is also available to GMS to provide catering services for clients, if requested.
GMS secured its first corporate client late last spring. Pioneer Construction, which has a contract at the Barrick Gold Complex at Hemlo, booked the Wayfare site.
The Peninsula property, which was renovated and opened just before a Sept. 13 ribbon-cutting, is now available for bookings.
McCoy, who has a background in the hospitality industry, said he has a couple more corporate clients in the pipeline and he's getting inquiries from other firms as well.
With more development projects expected to roll out, McCoy said acquiring more accommodations is something they'll consider, whether it's upgrading an older motel site or doing modular and trailer setups.
"If there's a high demand for accommodation, it's something we'll definitely look at."

Hello ladies,
Finally, there is some climate change happening in Chennai. Monsoon is fast approaching, which calls for dark peppy color lipsticks to amp up our looks. Moreover, this is the time to opt for a matte lipstick that is transfer and smudge proof. All this glamming up is ultimately going to end up us with dry, chapped lips. Lip exfoliation is the best solution to keep our lips moister and prevent them from cracking. This is achievable only with a lip scrub. Giving a break to my love for Juicy Chemistry Choco Mint Lip Scrub, I recently tried their Orange variant. Let us see how much I liked it!
Price: INR 325 for 10 g [BUY HERE: Juicy Chemistry Orange Candy Lip Scrub, 10 g]
Shelf Life: 6 months
Product Description: Kiss goodbye to dull, flaky chapped lips with the ultra-nourishing lip care products from Juicy Chemistry. Nourishing Shea butter, rich Avocado oil, and soothing essential oils gently address the dryness and help seal in the moisture. The lip scrubs work to gently exfoliate dry skin on the lips, leaving it smooth, and also they penetrate deep into the skin cells to rejuvenate your lips. The zesty lip scrub will perk your parched lips right up!
How to Use: Take a small quantity of the scrub with your ring finger, and massage it onto the lips gently for 1–2 minutes. Wash off and follow up with lip butter/balm.
My Experience with Juicy Chemistry Orange Lip Scrub Review
Packaging: This lip scrub comes in a transparent plastic tub packaging with a clear twist-up lid. The product was sealed with an aluminum foil. All product details are printed at the bottom of the tub. It is not very travel friendly as there is leakage of oils in the product. I feel this new lid is not so sturdy than the older one. Moreover, there is no protective inner lid that seals the product from hitting the cap as provided in earlier packaging. There is a major increase in price and reduction in the quality of packaging, which is so disappointing.
Texture: This lip scrub has a granular texture. It comes in light yellow/lemon juice color. It smells orange, orange, and orange. It has a paste-like consistency with visible organic sugar crystals. It spreads easily on the lips. Once rubbed on the lips, sugar melts down, and the scrub turns to a balmy consistency.
Performance: This lip scrub is a mix of all good ingredients such as avocado oil, natural vitamin E, sweet almond oil, shea butter, orange essential oil, and organic brown sugar. However, orange is the core ingredient. Sweet orange essential oil is derived from the peel of sweet oranges, which has an uplifting scent that boosts the spirits and immune system and helps maintain healthy skin. It is so true that this fragrance is to die for. A tiny bit of this scrub goes a long way. I gently massage this scrub on my wet lips to remove dead skin. It exfoliates my lips, removes darkness and pigmentation from my lips, and leaves my lips clean, soft, and smooth. I could feel the infusion of essential oils making my lips hydrated and plump. The exfoliating granules are not at all harsh on the lips. Once applied, it gives a sweet sugar and zesty orange taste. I advise you to use this scrub during shower as the product spreads all around your lips. It does treat the lips for a conditioned and revitalized feel. It only takes a few minutes to scrub your lips, so doing it once, or even twice, a week is very realistic. Using this lip scrub regularly will make you forget chapped lips. The sugar with the goodness of essential oils gets rid of dark layers and changes the lip color to pink eventually. After that matte lipstick has dried your lips, this lip scrub will come to your rescue; thus, it is a Holy Grail product for matte lipstick lovers. Moreover, on good scrubbed lips, lip cosmetics will adhere longer. This scrub also removes every trace of lipstick, especially long-wear ones, left behind. Most importantly, it is 100% natural, chemical free, and paraben free. Follow it up with a good lip butter for that luscious lips. Overall, it is one of the best and effective natural lip scrubs.
Pros of Juicy Chemistry Orange Lip Scrub Review
- Yummy fragrance
- Little quantity required
- No harsh exfoliating granules
- Non-drying, effective scrubbing
- Makes lips soft, smooth, plump, and hydrated
- 100% natural, chemical free, and paraben free
- Not tested on animals
Cons of Juicy Chemistry Orange Lip Scrub Review
- Available only online
- Not travel friendly
- Steep increase in price
- Inner protective lid not provided
Rating: 4.5/5
Would I Repurchase/Recommend Juicy Chemistry Orange Lip Scrub Review
I would totally recommend this lip scrub to achieve smooth, beautiful lips. It is one product I cannot live without, and I will definitely be repurchasing it.

This year's Spring Concert was a fantastic production! Every year, parents are treated to songs, dance, music, and drama from the smallest children on up to the sixth-year graduating class. It is always such a treat, and this production was no exception.
The Primary students gathered with their specific classes just before the show, all dressed up in their finest spring attire!
The Lower and Upper Elementary children and staff met in separate classrooms to prepare for their performances. Here, the Lower Elementary children put on costumes chosen by the "costume crew" in the weeks leading up to the show. All preparations, including set design, costumes, dialogue, music, (and in the case of the Upper Elementary, lyric research and memorization and dance choreography) was conducted from start to finish by the students themselves.
Suspender application
Waiting so very patiently!
The Extended Day Primary students started the show with the Proclaimers' 500 Miles; Count on Me, by Bruno Mars; and The Way I Am, by Ingrid Michaelson. The rest of Primary joined in to sing This is My School, What's a Friend For?, Simple Gifts, Everyone Makes Mistakes, It's a Small World, and I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing. Nathan Jatcko accompanied the children on piano.
A necessary piece of keeping it all together? The Directresses and Guides on the sidelines, who deserve a big round of applause for their behind-the-scenes work on helping the children memorize all the lyrics to these songs!
Next up, the Lower Elementary, who put on a play about the Titanic, which covered class differences, dancing, a bit of history, and plenty of humor (also, dancing! There was dancing!):
And last but not least, the Upper Elementary, who presented on the graduating class, adding personal touches for each of the nine graduates:
Some of the sixth-years got the audience moving (and laughing) with their rendition of Weird Al Yankovic's "Word Crimes," a parody of the 2013 single "Blurred Lines" by Robin Thicke. The song spoofs misuse of proper English grammar and usage.
The Upper Elementary also performed Medley of Farmer Refuted and You'll be Back, I've Been Everywhere, and Four Chords. Luke, Ben, Seth, Matthew, Liam, Daisy, Dominic, Emily, Marguerite, and Bella also did percussion throughout the performances, while Ben also did bass; Kamryn, Cameron, Katelyn, Elle, and Chase played piano; Joe and Ella played guitar; Klaus, Julia, and Kaylee played violin; and Lia played flute. What a musical group of kids!
The whole show was a memorable, fantastic, tear-jerker of a night. Thank you to all the students and staff who made it all come together!

Here is men's fashion direction. I have something really new for you. I ran across a magazine called "Complex" in my doctor's office and I stole it. It is packed with ads for sports shoes, which evidently are key to the new wave of dressing.
It has a lot of red. It has men with long braids. It has kids wearing now ties and bracelets. It has that pulled down knit ski cap look, which we are seeing a lot here in Miami despite the tropical temperatures. We are on the watershed of menswear. You hear me complain that all the suit and tie stuff, despite trying to look new, is really the same old thing of the last 150 years. Well, here's the new direction. Are you ready?

Strike Back On At Briar Chemicals Norfolk
Strike At Briar Chemicals Norwich Back On As GMB Members Reject Latest Pay Offer
Industrial action short of a strike with begin again immediately and Shop Stewards will meet early next week to decide the dates for full strike action says GMB
A strike by 124 GMB members at Briar Chemicals in Norwich is back on as a formal ballot produced a rejection of the latest pay offer.
GMB members working in all parts of the plant are seeking modest percentage pay rise and have already rejected earlier offers. They voted to reject the final offer of an unconsolidated one-off payment and a one-off bonus payment without strings and the company dropped it demand for a new "Agreement of Intent" and a new Substantive Agreement by April 2014.
Ivan Mercer, GMB Organiser said, "I have informed the company that GMB members have voted in an official ballot to reject the company's latest pay offer. The offer of a one off payment simply was not enough.
Industrial action short of a strike with begin again immediately. GMB Shop Stewards at the company will meet early next week to decide the dates for full strike action."

Massachusetts House Speaker Robert DeLeo is forming a special committee to investigate reports of inappropriate conduct during an orientation event for newly elected lawmakers.
The speaker's office said in a statement that four members of the House reported that they had heard of the inappropriate conduct but did not have firsthand knowledge of the alleged incident and did not identify any individuals involved.
The Boston Globe, which first reported on the allegations, identified the lawmaker accused of sexual misconduct as Rep. Paul McMurtry, a Democrat from Dedham and a member of DeLeo's leadership team.
In-depth news coverage of the Greater Boston Area.
DeLeo declined to address the specific allegations Thursday but told reporters the House has a "comprehensive set of rules to deal with situations such as this."
The event took place last month at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst.
The statement said the information was referred to an equal employment opportunity officer, Cynthia Farquhar, who is under contract with the House.
Farquhar later told House officials the allegation was "plausible."

- Nodes on ceiling are dispatched in staggered rows over a 1.20 m x 1.20 m grid, at an overall high of 9.6 m.
- Nodes on poles are vertically hanged at an overall high of 7.60, 8.50 and 9.40 m.
- The floor is dedicated to a fleet of robots providing mobile nodes.
Here is the dispatch regarding node's ids:
- Ground floor: m3-[1-45], firefly-[1-3]
- First floor: m3-[46-111], firefly-[4-6]
- Second floor: m3-[112-129], firefly-[7-8]
- Dedicated room (2nd floor): m3-[130-256], firefly[9-11]
Le Cube
There is an additional deployment in the B building, around 100 m from the other one, in a wooden structure called Le Cube. It's purpose, here, is not to experiment at a large scale, but rather to test network solutions, protocols or Operating Systems over different hardwares and radios. This deployment brings a practical way to experiment compatibility and interoperability scenarios.

essai| Nouvelle parution
Jonathan Dollimore
Oxford University Press
464 p.
30,00 £
Why is homosexuality socially marginal yet symbolically central? Why, in other words, is it so strangely integral to the very societies which obsessively denounce it, and why is it history - history rather than human nature - which has produced this paradoxical position?
These are just some of the questions explored in this wide-ranging study of sexual dissidence which returns to the early modern period in order to focus, question, and develop issues of postmodernity. In the process it brilliantly links writers as diverse as Shakespeare, Gide, Wilde, and Genet, and cultural critics as different as St. Augustine, Freud, Fanon, Foucault, and Monique Wittig. So Freud's theory of perversion is discovered to be more challenging than either his critics or his advocates usually allow, especially when approached via the earlier period's archetypal perverts, the religious heretic and the wayward woman, Satan and Eve.
The book further shows how the literature, histories, and sub-cultures of sexual and gender dissidence prove remarkably illuminating for current debates in literary theory, psychoanalysis, and cultural materialism. It includes chapters on transgression and its containment, contemporary theories of sexual difference, homophobia, the gay sensibility, transvestite literature in the culture and theatre of Renaissance England, homosexuality, and race.

Part 9. Beyond Sexual Difference
21: Desire and Difference
Jonathan Dollimore pioneered cultural materialism; then he pioneered gay studies. He subsequently turned his attention to a fresh interrogation of those dark, recalcitrant elements of desire and mortality which resist utopian transformation. His influential books include Radical Tragedy (1984), Death, Desire and Loss in Western Culture (1998), Sex Literature and Censorship (2001) and, with Alan Sinfield, Political Shakespeare (1985).
Dollimore's most recent, path-breaking intervention is the powerfully personal Desire: a Memoir (Bloomsbury, 2017). Dollimore has held professorships at the Universities of Sussex and York, and he has lectured and taught throughout the world.

Hiking in the Murau-Kreischberg region
Peak tours, round trails, walking paths
Whether you'd like to do a short tour with the family or climb a peak, you're sure to find the right hiking trail for you.
The gondola lift on the Kreischberg offers a comfortable leg-up for hiking on lush alpine meadows. The family-friendly hiking tours on the Gstoder (2,140 m) and the Frauenalpe (1,997 m) are greeted with superb views after just a short time walking!
Experienced hikers can also find a tour that suits their needs in the Murau-Kreischberg region. For example, storm to the top of the Preber (2,740 m) or do a stage of the Hemma Pilgrimage Route, which passes via several peaks. Once at the top, a spectacular panorama of the surrounding mountains awaits. The sunrises and sunsets here are incredible, and highly recommended.
Get to know the region's charming local towns on a number of circular hikes: head from Stadl via the Kreischberg to St. Lorenzen or from Murau to St. Georgen via the Pisesweg.
Beautiful themed trails that also make for great short walks with children can be found in the form of the Frauenhainweg or the Käferweg ("Beetle Trail"). The region also supplies a number of short walks that you can do with a pram. Pick up a brochure at the tourist information office.
Of course, multi-day tours and long-distance hiking trails such as the "From Glacier to Wine – Southern Route" should absolutely not be forgotten.
Try some of the countless hiking routes in the Murau-Kreischberg region with the aid of the hiking map and tour book, which you can get from the tourist information offices.
Particularly industrious hikers will be rewarded for their efforts with a hiking pin: silver or gold hiking boots. Win the silver hiking boot after a four-peaks tour on the Gstoder, Kreischberg, Frauenalpe and Stolzalpe. The golden hiking boot can only be acquired after conquering eight peaks. These are the Kreischberg, the Rosenkranzhöhe, the Kirbisch, the Goldachnock, the Prankerhöhe, the Schwarmbrunnhöhe, the Ackerlhöhe and the Frauenalpe.

After the knock down I faced yesterday I decided to let it all go and succumb for the briefest of moments.
It felt good.
Now I've shaken off the remains of the hurt and started walking down my long road again.
Why do we do carry on and get up after every fall?
The answer is simple; because we have no other choice.

Top Ten Foods for Building Muscle
Poliquin Group™ Editorial Staff
These are ten foods to include in your diet because they have a superior effect on protein synthesis, helping you build muscle in conjunction with a weight-training program.
Building muscle is not about bulking up by adding useless non-contractile fat tissue. Rather, it is about applying the right training stimulus and providing the body with adequate nutrients to support the following processes:
• Protein synthesis and tissue repair
• Optimal hormone balance
• Recovery and effective management of cortisol
• Enhanced insulin sensitivity and glucose uptake
• Peak immune function and gut health
Muscle building is a highly complex process, but eating for it doesn't have to be. The best approach to putting on muscle mass will use a wide variety of high-protein foods since amino acids are used as the building blocks for muscle and tissue repair.
In addition, certain proteins provide critical muscle building nutrients such as glutamine, glycine, creatine, carnitine, carnosine, and the super important omega-3 fats.
Any discussion of muscle building foods requires a spotlight on meat. Sure, all ten foods on this list could be derived from animals (beef, buffalo, bison, elk, venison, lamb, ostrich, turkey, fish, and eggs) but that would be boring and unpractical. And it ignores the fact that many plant-based foods are key for achieving peak health because they fight inflammation.
Still, You should be aware that there is evidence that meat provides a better quality protein for the body to use for muscle building and optimal hormone function.
Animal proteins provide a greater array of amino acids than vegetable proteins, and eating them makes it easier to achieve the threshold dose of protein that is necessary for optimal muscle development.
For example, a review of studies that tested various protein doses in conjunction with weight training on muscle development found that a minimal dose of 2.38 g/kg/day of protein is the amount that reliably produced the most muscle development. That's 178 grams of protein for a 75 kg person—an amount that is reasonably achieved if you eat meat and take a whey protein supplement post-workout.
The primacy of meat for muscle building goes further: A study that compared muscle development from a hypertrophy-style training program in omnivores and vegetarians who ate the same macronutrient ratios showed that the meat eaters gained 4 percent muscle mass and lost 6 percent fat mass, while increasing Type II fiber area by 9 percent. The vegetarian group experienced no noticeable changes in muscle mass or body fat percentage.
Now that you know the benefit of meat for muscle building, here's the list you've been waiting for:
#1: Pastured, Organic Beef
Beef that is pasture-raised and organic is a superior muscle building food because it is high in all of the following:
* omega-3 fats, which improve insulin sensitivity and fight inflammation,
* creatine, which is the anaerobic energy source,
* carnitine (the nutrient that aids the body to use fat for fuel),
* glutamine, which has immune-boosting properties
* glycine and glutathione (also improve immune function), and
* CLA (anti-inflammatory and immune enhancing).
Beef is also delicious, filling, and contains a superior blend of amino acids, equaled only by other wild meats. It also provides an array of healthy fats, which have repeatedly been found to correlate with free testosterone levels and muscle development.
#2: Cold Water Fish
Salmon is probably the best fish for muscle development, but it's only worth it if it is wild since farm-raised salmon may be high in mercury and is fed grain and animal byproducts.
Therefore, it's smart to go for a variety of cold-water fish because they are high in omega-3 fats for insulin health, rich in protein, and contain top muscle-building nutrients like creatine and carnitine.
Mackerel, smelt, shad, perch, sardines and anchovies are some of the best. Just avoid anything that comes in a can if it's not BPA free, and only eat wild fish from places you trust.
#3: Kefir
A popular drink in Europe that contains probiotic bacteria to improve the health of your gut, kefir, is made by fermenting milk by adding the kefir grain to it. The fermentation process eliminates the lactose found in the milk, making it suitable for most people intolerant of dairy.
Kefir is a perfect muscle food: Research shows that taking a probiotic in conjunction with resistance training can lead to a better body composition outcome and more strength grains.
Whole Fat Greek Yogurt is hard to find, but guard your source if you've got one. It provides a nice dose of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which boosts the immune system and has been shown to fight cancer.
#4: Coconut Oil
A medium chain fatty acid that is rapidly absorbed in the intestines and carried to the liver where it is used for energy, coconut oil is an excellent fat source for anyone trying to build muscle. It has anti-inflammatory properties, and although it is feared by many due to the saturated fat content, it does NOT enter the cholesterol cycle.
Research shows that eating coconut oil can actually improve cholesterol health and support fat loss. No studies have tested its use for muscle building, but it is being used to treat high blood sugar and enhance insulin sensitivity. Use it as your primary cooking oils, especially when cooking at high temperatures because the saturated fat content makes it resistant to damage by high heat.
For those who have a hard time getting enough calories, coconut oil provides tasty, easy to take, high-value calories.
#5: Quinoa
Quinoa is a seed that is a relative of spinach and Swiss chard. It contains a superior amino acid profile of all plant-based foods, containing the 9 essential amino acids. It's also high in magnesium, the mineral of insulin sensitivity.
Quinoa is fairly high glycemic (not like white bread or pasta, but much higher than animal protein) at 53. Muscle building is all about managing insulin and blood sugar so that you elevate insulin at the right time with the right nutrients available for protein synthesis.
Therefore, quinoa is an ideal addition to a post-workout meal. Enjoy it with fruits, vegetables, or spices that enhance glucose uptake and insulin sensitivity.
#6: Nuts: Brazil, Almonds & Walnuts
No surprise here—nuts are high in protein, fiber, healthy fats, and antioxidants. Studies repeatedly show better body composition, overall health, and longevity in people who eat nuts regularly.
A few things you might not know about nuts for gaining muscle:
* Brazil nuts are high in selenium (an antioxidant that may enhance androgen production and enables enzymes needed for glutathione, the immune regulator, to function),
* almonds are high in vitamins B and E, and
* walnuts may be the healthiest nut because they are eaten raw with the skin on.
#7: Purple & Blue Fruit: Blueberry, Bilberry, Cherry, Raspberry
Not typically thought of as muscle foods, dark fruits are essential to any muscle-building program, especially if you care about your long-term health. Continually causing muscle damage and rebuilding it for mass gains and strength take a toll on the body, which is where these delicious fruits play a role.
High in antioxidants, berries can help accelerate recovery by helping to remove the waste products or "garbage" produced by very intense training. Once the waste products are gone, the body is better able repair tissue. In addition, raspberries have been found to aid in suppressing hunger, whereas all the berries enhance insulin sensitivity and blood sugar management.
Assuming you are lean enough AND insulin sensitive, drinking berry juice in conjunction with a high-quality carbohydrate powder post-workout can help replenish muscle glycogen stores for a faster recovery.
Kiwi, mango, peach, and other high antioxidant fruits will offset the oxidative stress produced by eating protein, leading to greater muscle gains. Did you know that every time you eat protein, grain-based carbs, and certain unhealthy fats, your blood antioxidant level is reduced?
It's true. Researchers suggest that the average 500-calorie meal requires about 1.5 servings of antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables in order to prevent oxidative stress.
#8: Green Tea: Traditional & Yerba Mate
This could just as easily be coffee since both enhance insulin sensitivity, metabolism, and work capacity when training. But for building muscle, green tea is a must-have because it has been shown to shuttle glucose into muscle cells rather than store it as fat.
The antioxidants in tea can accelerate recovery from training and minimize liver damage from toxins like alcohol. In addition, both green tea and yerba mate (a different but just as healthful plant from South America) have been called "anti-obesity" beverages by scientists.
Kombucha Tea is actually a probiotic beverage that is typically brewed by placing a bacteria culture into tea to ferment. It boosts the immune system and is steeped in history (it may have originated in Asia over 2,000 years ago), making it a nice beverage for functional hypertrophy.
#9: Asparagus
Nutritionally rich, containing folate, vitamins A,C,E, and K, asparagus provides chromium, which enhances the ability of insulin to transport glucose into the cells.
Asparagus also contains high levels of glutathione—that super antioxidant that is at the core of the immune system—and we know muscle gains from training often correlate with the strength of the immune system.
#10: Cinnamon
Cinnamon significantly improves insulin sensitivity, and it is a nutrient partitioner, diverting carbs to be stored in muscle rather than as fat.
It has specific implication for muscle gaining: One study showed that pre-diabetics who took cinnamon extract with meals had a 1 percent increase in muscle mass and a 0.7 percent loss of body fat—not huge, but should catch your attention since the subjects weren't lifting.
Put cinnamon in tea, coffee, yogurt, cook with it (put it on veggies in conjunction with other spices), or take it as a supplement.
Turmeric contains the anti-inflammatory, pain-killing compound called curcumin. Although you may want a more concentrated dose of curcumin in capsule form to accelerate recovery from hard training or injury, cooking with turmeric will help modulate insulin for muscle building and body composition.

"Researchers studied the properties of Cannabidiol (CBD), a non-toxic, non-psychoactive chemical compound found in the cannabis plant and its effect on the gene, ID-1 which causes the spread of cancer to other cells.
The two were combined in a Petri dish, and the experiment revealed that when CBD was present in the Petri dish, the cells returned to normal and stopped spreading.
Cannibidiol displayed the potential to switch off this aggressive gene from spreading and causing havoc.
Scientists also found that cannabidiol works with many kinds of aggressive cancers, especially those that portray high levels of ID-1."

By LIA MARTIN
Cousin Vinny aka Anthony Agnello has received such controversial press coverage since the release of his book The Devil's Glove that many fail to recognize the quality and message of his book.
He is well known.
It is true that he does have an infamous reputation as a male stripper. His Subway Restaurant franchise is the target of a lawsuit, and Agnello himself was indeed a target, shot at by three unknown gunmen. Agnello's character also has been the target of a plethora of accusations.
What is clear when speaking with Agnello is he does not deny his life or make excuses for it.
Agnello says that in 1991 he had a vision, like a movie that was shown to him, and that before this "movie began," a white-haired man told him: "It's time to do your job. I want you to watch this. You better pay attention. It is a message to the world."
"I jotted down every detail I could remember," Agnello said. "I never had a moment like it, and I never will again. It was an incredible love story. It was the most pure love, but not pure. It made me human."
That vision he wrote down became a book. Titled The Magic Glove, it metamorphosed into the The Devil's Glove after Tate Publishing, a Christian book publishing company, contacted him. Agnello's editor recommended he make revisions after telling him that the book was "intricate, but a captivating story, which was wonderfully told." He emphasized that it was a good book, but that the changes could make it a great book.
Agnello said after talking to his editor, he felt humility for the first time in his life. He does not know why he was chosen to write down the vision, but he has many readers and reviewers, who have valued The Devil's Glove. It has helped him to understand that his brief life as a journalist should be continued.
His father, Louis Agnello, was a writer for Chemical and Engineering News. His son has dedicated the book to his father, who passed away in 2006. His father had worried about Agnello's life for years because he was so highly visible. When asked how his father would have reacted to his change in life and career, Agnello said, "I think he would have been over the moon."
An excerpt from The Devil's Glove:
"Michael cautiously entered the ballpark and observed nothing unusual. He pondered the thought of Billy leaving the park and getting drunk at a local tavern, but that didn't explain why he didn't change his clothes. Due to his poor performance during the game, he doubted seriously that he would go out in uniform and draw attention to himself. From all the years he had spent with him, he knew for sure that Billy wasn't a glutton for punishment and only a glutton for punishment would go out in game uniform after that performance. As everyone knows, Chicago fans have a long history of being very nasty to their fallen heroes. He knew Billy wouldn't subject himself to that. Still feeling uneasy but needing to do something constructive with his time, he decided to take a trash-collecting walk around the field. In the process of performing his chore, he glanced up toward the stadium seats and discovered Billy. What he saw shocked the hell out of him. Hanging by the neck from the upper deck was Billy Green, dressed in his White Sox uniform, wearing his green shoes, and his unique green glove. Michael was in no way ready for this, and he grimaced in pain as his worst fear became a reality. He stared up at him in disbelief and then let out the most tragic moan that the old ballpark had ever heard expelled. It was a dying groan, very primeval, the kind that was repeated too many times throughout the history of this world. It was the worst kind of agony, the kind of personal anguish that was never meant to be felt – as a father outliving his son.
The overwhelming sadness of this occasion cannot be properly expressed here. Hanging by the neck from the upper deck of that stadium was the extinguished dreams of a new generation. A part of the old man died with the son whom he never biologically fathered but whose spirit was eternally joined with his. He became painfully aware that the rest of his days on this earth would be nothing more than an extended death sentence. For the rest of his life, he would never experience the joy of love again. Michael couldn't stop crying. The tears flowed down his face as if someone had left a faucet on. … He stared over at Billy's body and tried to brainwash himself into believing that he was just asleep but could not convince himself of this fantasy. He then wondered if he could survive the intense manual labor of digging a grave using only a pick and a shovel."
The book is not about religion, unless you know that the Chicago White Sox is the instrument for mankind's redemption and that the Manager is Satan and the Light is God, no matter who or what religion a person professes. The magic glove owned by Billy sets the stage, and the characters approach God and Satan in interesting ways. This intriguing novel is surprising and is read by many different kinds of people from every walk of life.
When asked which character portrayed himself, Agnello said, "Why…all of them."
A reader emailed Agnello recently, saying, "A must-read for the youth of today."
When struggling to understand why he, such an imperfect man, received the vision and was told to write the book, Agnello says a Christian friend told him, "There is a divine wind behind this whole thing. Don't you understand? This book is way bigger than you."
Anthony "Cousin Vinny" Agnello was a 1992 graduate of Western Connecticut State University, earning an English degree. He began as a Chippendale-style male stripper during his college years. In 1986, taking a break from college, Agnello studied with Lee Strasberg and made cameo appearances in Ryan's Hope, Guiding Light and One Life to Live, as well as having bit parts as an actor in Spike Lee's Crooklyn and Nicolas Cage's Kiss of Death.

QUEENSLANDER Zac Purton is poised to add another dimension to an extraordinary record when he chases more glory at the star-studded Longines International meeting at Sha Tin.
The Australian is already twice winner of the Hong Kong jockeys' premiership, ending Douglas Whyte 13-season reign in 2014 and Joao Moreira's three-year stint last season.
If Purton snares at least two of the four Group 1 races on offer at Sha Tin, he will join Gerald Mosse as the most successful rider at what is regarded as the world turf championships.
Purton rides Exultant in the Vase (2400m), Little Giant — trained by David Hall — in the Sprint (1200m), Beauty Generation in the Mile (1600m) and Time Warp in the Cup (2000m).
Beauty Generation and Time Warp are bidding for successive victories at the meeting and Purton is optimistic the pair can repeat.
"It would be fantastic because it edges me closer to Mosse's record, I'm only a few wins behind him for the most successful jockey in the history of this weekend," he said.
Handled by Australian John Moore, Beauty Generation is touted as the probable star of the meeting despite developing a recent habit of lugging out.
"He looks to be better than the rest," Purton said. "Hopefully he can keep putting the wins on the board."
Beauty Generation has won five of his past six attempts and broke the course 1600m record last start.
"There's no fluke to his performances, he goes out there and does it all," Purton said.
"He can do it on pace, from the back, with big weights and they are the type of horses that stand apart from the rest."
Purton currently leads the HK premiership with 35 winners, five more than Karis Teetan.
Apart from Purton, Michael Walker, Hugh Bowman, James McDonald, Chad Schofield and Sam Clipperton will also ride at Sha Tin.
The meeting has attracted entries from all over the globe, including Japan, Ireland, France and England.
Chris Waller's Comin' Through (Mile) is the sole Australian entrant and will be ridden by Walker.
The Vase features several horses familiar to Australians, including Queensland Derby winners Eagle Way and Ruthven.
Recent Melbourne spring carnival contenders Prince Of Arran (third in the Melbourne Cup), Latrobe (second in the Mackinnon), Rostropovich (fifth in the Melbourne Cup) and Red Verdon are also in contention.
France's Waldgeist, fourth in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, tops the Vase ratings according Red Verdon's trainer Ed Dunlop.
The sprint is predicted to be a battle between last season's winner Mr Stunning, Ivictory, Japan's Fine Needle, Singapore's Lim's Cruiser and John Size's emerging star Hot King Prawn, an Australian-bred grey who has nine wins from 10 starts.
Hong Kong Vase, 2400m (5pm) — Waldgeist, Latrobe, Eagle Way, Prince Of Arran
Hong Kong Sprint, 1200m (5.40pm) — Hot King Prawn, Mr Stunning, Beat The Clock, Lim's Cruiser
Hong Kong Mile, 1600m (6.50pm) — Beauty Generation, One Master, Persian Night, Beat The Bank
Hong Kong Cup, 2000m (7.30pm) — Sungrazer, Deidre, Time Warp, Stormy Antarctic

MIDDLETOWN, Conn. – Antone Walker and Austin Hutcherson scored 26 and 22 points, respectively, to help lead the 25th-ranked Wesleyan University men's basketball team to a 91-80 victory over Purchase College on Monday night.
The Cardinals never trailed, and held off a late second half rally by the Panthers, as they improved to 14-4 overall with their sixth-straight win. With the loss, Purchase fell to 8-9 on the year.
- Wesleyan won the opening tip and 19 seconds later, Jordan James threw down an emphatic two-handed dunk for the first basket of the game.
- The majority of the first half went back-and-forth, until the closing minutes.
- Following a basket by Willie Britton that cut the deficit to six, 29-23, the Cardinals went on a 7-0 run capped off by a Walker layup to put the home team ahead by 13 at the 3:47 mark.
- Wesleyan led by double-digits the rest of the half and a layup by Mike Felix with 11 seconds remaining got the Panthers within 12 as they trailed 43-31 at the break.
- The Cardinals came out strong in the second half and scored six unanswered points to grab a commanding 18-point lead.
- Shortly after, a pair of free throws by James capped off a 13-0 run as Wesleyan took its largest lead of the game, up 29 with 13:01 remaining.
- The Panthers slowly cut away at the deficit and with 57 seconds left on the clock, Britton hit two free throws to get within 10.
- Purchase caused back-to-back turnovers and a basket by Maxx Miller, followed by another free throw by Britton at the 35-second mark, made it a seven-point game as they trailed 87-80, capping off a 43-21 run by the visitors.
- Wesleyan remained composed, however, as Walker and Hutcherson sealed the win at the line as they finished 4-of-4 in the closing seconds.
- Walker was 7-of-13 from the floor, 3-of-6 from downtown, and a perfect 9-of-9 from the charity stripe. Hutcherson grabbed a game-high 10 rebounds as well to finish with a double-double, and also lead the team with three assists. Both Walker and Hutcherson led the Cardinals with three steals apiece, while Jordan Bonner joined them in double-figures with 13 points.
- The Panthers were led by Elijah Lott, who dropped 21 points, while Britton scored 18, Miller finished with 14 off the bench, and Jorge Perdomo registered 13. Lott also led the team with eight assists, seven rebounds, and five steals.
- Wesleyan returns to NESCAC action on Friday, Jan. 25 and will play Bates on the road. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m.

Hina Nazar is Associate Professor of English and Interpretive Theory at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Born and raised in Pakistan, she moved to the US for her university education, and obtained her Ph.D. in English from Johns Hopkins University in 2004. She is the author of Enlightened Sentiments: Judgment and Autonomy in the Age of Sensibility (New York: Fordham, 2012) and of several articles on eighteenth- and nineteenth-century British fiction, Enlightenment moral and political theory, and critical theory. Most recently, she contributed a chapter assessing the Hegelian contexts of George Eliot's fiction to A Companion to George Eliot (Oxford: Blackwell, 2013). Her work has been supported by grants and fellowships from sources including the Mellon Foundation and Cornell University, Trinity College (Oxford University), the Center for Research in Culture and Literature (Johns Hopkins), the Cambridge Commonwealth Trust, and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
Nazar's book Enlightened Sentiments reassesses the claims of Enlightenment modernity by reassessing the place of sentimentalism within eighteenth-century letters. Often regarded as a marginal other to the mainstream rationalist Enlightenment, sentimentalism, Nazar argues, more fully shapes the Enlightenment's key moral and political norm of autonomy than has been acknowledged. It does so through its extensive investment in the topos of judgment, a principal connotation of the word "sentiment" in the eighteenth century. Understanding autonomy as judging for oneself rather than as the strict self-legislation of Immanuel Kant's famous formulation, a broad group of Enlightenment writers whom Nazar characterizes as "sentimentalist"—including David Hume, Adam Smith, Samuel Richardson, Henry Mackenzie, William Godwin, and Jane Austen—enables a still overlooked conception of moral independence that is strikingly attentive to the claims of interdependence. Nazar foregrounds especially the curious aesthetic analogy for moral experience deployed by many sentimentalists, and explores the ways in which this analogy brings eighteenth-century sentimentalism into dialogue with more recent developments in moral and political theory, especially the writings on judgment of Hannah Arendt.
Nazar's current book project is entitled Educating for Freedom: Enlightenment Narratives of Autonomy, Gender, and Social Influence. Drawing upon authors from John Locke and Mary Astell in the 1690s to such English radicals of the 1790s as Mary Wollstonecraft and William Godwin, this study explores a key paradox of modern liberal education, built into its hope that freedom is something that can be taught. Since education is all about social influence—broadly conceived, it means the transmission of culture from one generation to the next—how might it lead to freedom from social influence? Interpreting early liberal culture—including the fictional form known as the Bildungsroman—through the lens of educational thought rather than moral and political theory, Educating for Freedom seeks to understand the characterological assumptions of modern liberalism, as well as to reconsider the place of the social in its understandings of freedom.

Java ubiquity leading to developer creativity and business opportunity was the keynote theme as Jonathan Schwartz, president and COO of Sun Microsystems, addressed the opening session of JavaOne in San Francisco on Monday.
In a statistics packed talk, he noted that there have been 100 million downloads of the Java developers toolkit by coders working in a $100 billion annual global market for Java technology. Beyond the more traditional J2EE server market for business applications, Schwartz pointed to an accelerating deployment of Java apps in cell phones, automobiles and medical devices, as well as toys and games.
Many of the applications, he said, are in areas "we never could have imagined."
Count Java ringtones among things not imagined. Schwartz noted that the annual market for ringtones downloaded to cell phones is estimated at $3.5 billion as people, especially young consumers, pay to have distinctive musical samplings play when they get a phone call. In another example of the growing Java market, he said the mobile game market is $3 billion per year.
On the more serious side, he demonstrated a Java-based medical wireless device that a patient can wear, allowing a physician to monitor heart rate and other vital signs without requiring an office or hospital visit.
"This economy is growing at breakneck speed," Schwartz told his audience at the Moscone Center in San Francisco and worldwide via Webcast, which this reporter watched. Sun's president said it is fulfilling the original vision of Sun's founders that eventually "everything and everybody will be connected to the network."
Noting that such "ubiquity yields opportunity," he touted the traditional Java benefits of "write once, run anywhere," noting that with hundreds of millions of Java applications being written by a limited pool of Java programmers, code reusability and device compatibility are a must.

The song "When You Were Mine" is so perfectly Tegan and Sara, you might be surprised they're just guests on the track. The twin sisters lend their vocals to Night Terrors of 1927's new song and also appear in the video, which premiered today.
Night Terrors is Jarrod Gorbel (The Honorary Title) and Blake Sennett (Rilo Kiley), and they have their debut album, Everything's Coming Up Roses, coming out on January 20th from Atlantic Records. "When You Were Mine" will be on the LP, but if you absolutely need to have it now, you'e in luck: The song is also on their previously released EP, Anything to Anyone.
BTW, if you consider yourself a T&S fan, you will want to pre-order their So Jealous anniversary book, which comes out December 23. Just in time for Christmas!

Egypt plans $2b worth of Samurai bonds
CAIRO, Jan 13: Egypt plans to issue $2 billion worth of Japanese yen-denominated bonds in the coming week, two government sources said.
Proceeds from the issue of so-called Samurai bonds will be used to repay debts of state oil company Egyptian General Petroleum Corp (EGPC), according to the sources, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Egypt has struggled to recover from years of turmoil after the 2011 pro-democracy uprising, and has borrowed heavily from abroad since it began an economic reform programme backed by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in late 2016.
It raised 2 billion euros in bonds in April 2018, its first issue in the single currency.
Finance Minister Mohamed Maait said in December that Egypt was aiming for at least two foreign currency bond issues in the first quarter of 2019, without giving the size of the planned offer.
Earlier, he said Egypt was targeting $5 billion in foreign currency bonds and that the figure was subject to change. -Reuters

The euphoria driving the market higher over the past few weeks is best illustrated by the 150 point spike in the Dow which occurred in about 5 minutes during the last hour of today's trading day. The markets soared on the back of The Guardian's report that Germany and France agreed to agree on expanding the size of the EFSF to 2 trillion Euros from 400 billion Euros.
It seems that the strategy of European officials has been to shock markets by releasing tactical statements, sort of like good cop bad cop. For example, German Chancellor Angela Merkel made comments yesterday and today aimed at managing expectations of a silver bullet solution to the European debt crisis. Then, out of nowhere comes the EFSF expansion announcement resulting in the market spike. But these officials should realize that this tactic is a feeble attempt at dealing with the symptoms and not the actual problem. Market direction is not a barometer of economic health. Borrowing money to pay down debt does not seem like a sustainable solution to the European DEBT crisis. A statement saying that they will just borrow 5x more than planned will probably make things worst not better. Considering that France's AAA rating is under review, I find the plan to be an astute example of flawed European logic as increasing the debt load on a fragile sovereign credit system will only amplify Europe's problems in the long run.
Expanding the EFSF to 2 trillion Euros screams that not only is the problem much worse than people previously thought, it is probably much worse than even the expanded EFSF can handle. The truth is nobody has any idea of what is happening with the ECB, IMF, Troika, PIIGS, Germany and France. All we have are the headlines and rumors to go off of. Frankly, I am certain the men and women in charge over there don't even know what is happening and hence the volatility in the equities and fixed income markets. Reading through the reported optional plan to prohibit naked CDS buying one can understand how dire things have become in Europe. Their last ditch effort is to simply attack buzz words not realizing that banning CDS will most likely lead to higher borrowing costs for European nations. Plus, the CDS markets are hardly the cause of rising borrowing costs for debt laden countries whose main global contributions are feta cheese and olive oil (there is also shipping and tourism but whatever).
The swings in CDS prices (across the board) over the past few months has been nothing less of dizzying, simply because a tremendous amount of uncertainty remains. But fundamentally, nothing has changed and the European crisis is bound to implode at worse and at best will not meet the expectations set by the ECB. Potentially we have this "Q4 Rally" that everyone has been comparing to Fall 1998 but really who cares? At any given moment a simple headline could take the floor out and it is not worth the risk for most investors.

Brandi Carlile's "The Story"
So this week's free iTunes song is Brandi Carlile's "The Story" (it's only free 'til the 20th). If you watch Grey's Anatomy then you've heard her, I think she's had three(?) songs on, but it might have been the same song a few of the times (Tragedy, the acoustic cello version). This free song is has a little more beat than some of her other stuff, I think of her a being a little more mellow than this one. She's got a lot of different tracks at the iTunes store, different singles and some acoustic tunes.
I've seen her in a small venue (Ann Arbor last year) and she was wonderful up close and personal. She seemed very excited that we were all there to see her :)

We've reported more than once about Battalion 1944 and showed gameplay : The multiplayer shooter of a small team from England is based on the Unreal Engine 4 and will appear sometime in 2017 for PC, Xbox One and Playstation 4. The big plan of the developers is ambitious: One wants to revive the glorious multiplayer times of a Call of Duty 2 or Medal of Honor: Allied Assault with the title, which was settled in the Second World War. Accordingly, missing unlocks, Killstreaks or other newfangled things – it's about map skills, weapon mastery and a little teamplay.
Today, the Kickstarter campaign has expired. Instead of the planned 100,000 have come together in the end over 317,000 pounds, which has given the developers the opportunity to promise and implement various Stretchgoals . In an update, the devs thank the fans for their confidence and reveal how exactly it will continue. In the coming months, the development will pick up speed – the plan is to bring back "World War II" shooter and make it really big. The fans should see in the coming weeks and months slowly how the Devs tackle the topic.
On the fate of the two – as Stretchgoals unfortunately not found … – fractions Russia and England, the makers do not want to make big promises. However, it has been addressed by various publishers and will look at what is feasible without losing the rights and control of Battalion in 1944 or watering down the vision. There will be further updates and information in the coming months.
Finally, the developers have an announcement for all those who would have liked to participate in the funding, but thanks to the lack of a credit card could not help. You will start a Paypal promotion "soon" for a week – who donates during this time will also receive the Kickstarter rewards. Once the week is over, you will open the in-house store and give fans the chance to pre-order.

New intervention studies in genetically obese mice employ a bean-based diet being tested for attenuation of colon carcinogenesis following exposure to azoxymethane. The bean-based diet was chosen to mimic conditions in the recently completed polyp prevention trial in which human subjects consuming the highest quartile of beans (navy, lima, kidney, black etc) showed a 3-fold reduction in ocurrence of advanced adenoma (E. Lanza and coworkers 2006, 2009). The whole beans and two bean fractions showed efficacy in attenuating tumor multiplicity (Bobe et al, Nutr Ca 2008). Recent studies have identified inflammation-associated cytokines including IL-6 as indicators of bean-diet efficacy (Mentor-Marcel et al Ca Prev Res 2009). Current studies are aimed at identifying funtionally significant molecular targets of the bean diets under conditions of efficacy as well as predictive biomarkers. Non-invasive gene expression profiling of fecal colonocytes has revealed sets of 2 to 3 genes whose changes are indicative of risk (Zhao et al Ca Prev Res 2009). In collaboration with the Small Animal Imaging facility at NCI Frederick we have demonstrated with magnetic resonance imaging that the endpoints of inflammation, tumor promotion and tumor progression can be monitored during colon carcinogenesis in a mouse model (Young et al Neoplasia 2009). These imageable markers are being used to compare the effects of short term exposure to dietary interventions in preclinical studies. Recently, in collaboration with Terry Hartman and coworkers (Penn State Univ) we have queried serum biomarkers for predictive value in short term controlled feeding intervention studies of men at risk of polyp recurrence in the Legume Intervention Feeding Experiment (LIFE) study. Serum levels of proinflammatory proteins decreased and serum lipid profiles improved in response to the bean-based diet (Hartman et al J Nutr 2010;Zhang Z et al Lipids 2010). The Obese mouse bean intervention study of biomarkers (Mentor-Marcel) turned out to agree with a recent analysis of the 4000 participant Polyp Prevention Trial samples. In both cases serum IL-6 levels were elevated in those at greatest risk of polyp recurrence (occurrence) and IL-6 levels were attenuated by the bean based diet in the complier group who benefited (Bobe et al Cancer Prev Res 2010).In the LIFE study the high legume low glycemic index diet reduces plasma leptin (Eur J Clin Nutr 2011) as well as producing weight loss in overweight men (submitted). These findings are among the first to demonstrate biomarkers that can identify those likely to benefit from the dietary intervention with reduced colon polyp recurrence.
