The fruits of 'olugambo'charlotte.hawkins.1728 May 2018
In many ways, mobile phones have allowed people in Africa to overcome the limits of state bureaucracy (de Bruijn and van Dijk, 2012: 12). To further credit the versatile potential of mobile communication, and the need for it, these limits have recently started closing in on mobile phone use in Uganda with two particularly contentious issues. Firstly, an embargo has been issued on SIM card registration to ensure the validity of existing data following a spate of unresolved kidnappings[1]. Secondly, President Museveni has proposed a tax on social media use in order to address the deficit. WhatsApp, Facebook, Skype, Twitter and Viber are all targets for the proposed daily fee of 100ush for all simcards using such "over the top" platforms[2]. According to the President, social media is used only for 'olugambo' or 'gossip'. He has exempted internet use for educational purposes, as "[i]t is like going to the library using the encyclopedia or referring to the dictionary. These must remain free"[3].
During fieldwork in the Ugandan context of intrinsic kinship (Whyte & Whyte, 2004: 77) and "scattered families", I have observed many instances in which social media is used for more than 'olugambo', which itself is more than fruitless. As Tanja Ahlin notes in her study of migrant families' care of elders through ICTs, phone practices are "not only about communication, just as remittances are not only about sending money" (2017). This frames an overarching question for my on-going research in Uganda; what are "over the top" platforms used for other than gossip? Many people have shown me how WhatsApp groups are used to circulate information –
I'm told that even the news of this proposed taxation reached 15,000 people in 10 minutes; "if anything seems to be relevant and effecting the lives of people directly, the messages tend to go very fast".
WhatsApp groups also appear to be commonly used to share information about health. As one interviewee told me, he is part of a group with friends who are Doctors and teachers, "any information one of them gets, I get it here". Or another, who recently found out the nutritional content of beetroot and bananas through his WhatsApp group and has started eating more of them. Or the hospital staff, who have a forum on WhatsApp for sharing information about patients and medical supplies, supporting health workers to do their jobs efficiently. As one message about the benefits of lemon peel circulated on WhatsApp recently stated, "thank goodness for Social Media…Pls forward to lots of friends".

In this business world of cut throat competition, you always need to have keen eyes on what's going around in market. In business every minor detail is important for growing as well as to survive; it's always a life and death situation. Businesses hire professional analyst to analyze their data, in order to understand the trend of their business.
Apart from that, these analysts can also forecast certain scenarios with the help of graphs and other data structure. But it is not advisable to rely on your analyst each and every time; we need to focus ourselves to get a better idea of our business. To do that, all you need is an iPad.
Vizable iPad App
iPad has already simplified our lives in many ways, here's one more app called Vizable for iPad that will help you analyze the data with ease. App is pretty clean and very easy to operate; there is no rocket science, even if you are completely novice in analysis.
Vizable app lets you import your Excel or CSV file into the app. It then transforms the data to attractive graphs which you can analyze with different options. Refer below for detailed features:
File adding options
You can easily add your Excel or CSV file to Vizable app via any cloud storage apps like: iCloud or Dropbox. Apart from that, you can also access your data files directly from email as well.
Easily add columns
Adding columns in Vizable is very easy; it's a two finger gesture pinching out to add columns and doing opposite will remove the columns. It's a handy feature when you are analyzing a big data.
Changing calculations was never so easy
There are many different terms in analyzing data. When we talk about revenue, we can bifurcate into total revenue or average revenue over a period of time. These types of calculations are just a swipe away with Vizable app. All you need to do is to swipe down over the data you wish to calculate.
Analyzing trend
This is one of the most important parts when it comes to analysis. At times, we need to analyze data of a decade in order to understand the trend of any specific industry. With Vizable app all you need to do is to open the app and select the range of period you wish to analyze. It's a simple select and drag gesture and the app will do the rest. It will zoom in the selected period, to make it easy to analyze the trend of a specific period.
Changing between different fields
When you are working with a data file that has many different fields, it becomes frustrating to move from one field to another. But with Vizable app everything is just a swipe away; all you need to do is to swipe from right to left to move from one field to another. You can go back to earlier field by swiping left to right.
Removing category from data (Filter)
Dealing with data that has numbers of category can be a real headache. As we said many times, even this tedious job is just a swipe away in Vizable app. All you need to do is to swipe the category from right to left, the app will move that category to filter column and it will not be included in the data you are analyzing. You can add it back by swiping the filter column from left to right.
Unlimited Undo
Did something wrong? Not a reason to panic when you are on Vizable app. The app has got unlimited undo options that will revert the changes you make to the file. Feel free to try your hands on Vizable without worrying about making mistakes.
Sharing you data
Once you are done with your data file, you can easily share it as image directly from the app itself. Vizable app can share your data image file directly to Dropbox, email, twitter and many more.
Vizable app is currently available for free from app store and it is compatible only with iPad. The only drawback which we think is that it does not let you create a new file; but then, it's an analysis app.
Price: Free

The Avengers In Review
I remember the moment, oddly enough. I walked into the QuikTrip (it was either before or, more likely, just after our weekly Boy Scout meeting) and meandered over to the rack of comic books on the western wall. There among the various titles was Avengers #221, showing a grid of potential new members and inviting me to "PICK TWO!" I didn't know most of them, but I thought the depiction of the Invisible Girl was clever, and I thought it might be cool to have Spider-Man and Spider-Woman join the Avengers in the same issue. So I opted out of the Slurpee and Watchamacallit and instead bought myself a comic book. And then I bought, oh, about two hundred more. And then about twenty years later I asked for and was given the entire Avengers archives on CD-ROM. Oh, and my favorite chapter in my geeky homage to superheroes, Comic Book Character, is about the Avengers. So perhaps you can understand my enthusiasm over the past four years as Marvel Entertainment Group built slowly up to last weekend's release of The Avengers: The Motion Picture.

In this era of complicated and broken relationships, people hate to commit but love to hook-up. Being a part of such a culture, films act as an "ESCAPE-ROUTE."
While Karan Johar and Aditya Chopra gave us the "perfect-family" picture with a happy-ending, Imtiaz showcased the reality and inner turmoil which we are scared to accept.
Imtiaz's films depict the complexities and confused state of mind within a single frame. Be it harsh, sarcastic or intricate, we LOVE his films!
On his birthday, let's have a look on his journey as "MODERN" Director!

Healing is a process similar to that of peeling an onion…
Emotional and physical healing – both are intertwined – happens over a period of time and it is a process not unlike that of peeling the layers off an onion, layer by layer, until there is no more onion, and nothing more to hide.
Imagine yourself coming here into this life experience a perfect and sparkling gem and you shone like no other until something happened to make you shine less. The little gem is shocked that such a thing can happen in this world, and thinks that perhaps she should protect herself from ever being so exposed and vulnerable again, so she dons a cloak to cover herself. Off she goes and a few years later, something else happens that shocks her, so she dons another cloak, thinking that she needs more protection. And so it happens, that the little gem wears many cloaks, hiding herself, and preventing herself from shining too bright, lest she attract more bad things.
The little gem forgot that in this world there are many illusions, similar to being in the hall of mirrors, where you can see yourself distorted and even ugly. The little gem forgot that all the layers she is wearing is hiding her true sparkling self, and when she starts to remember this, she is afraid to shed the layers for fear of being exposed once again.
This metaphor is how our life experience has been. Michael and I were talking yesterday about this being the age of transparency and how we now have to expose ourselves and show our true selves in order that we can be fully healed of the trauma, the pain, the sadness etc., that caused us to hide ourselves in the first place.
Each of us has become stronger through our life experiences and we have shown great courage in the face of adversity, and we have even shocked ourselves at how brave we can be, but it is time to shed our cloaks and shine once again, because we are safe now. No one is going to hurt us anymore.
We have become our own best friend and we have learned that there is no longer a need to hide. We are remembering how loved we are, and we are feeling this love all around us. We know now that we are not alone, we are fully supported and no matter how difficult it may be to expose ourselves, to shed all these layers of protection, we can do it, because we are safe now.
We will see that the mirrors that distorted us were illusions, and if we look closely, we will see our true sparkling self just waiting there in the folds, waiting to be exposed once more so we can shine once again.
Little by little we peel the onion, and so we heal ourselves. It is a process that happens over a period of time. We only have to be willing to let go and surrender, knowing it is totally safe to do so. It is safe to acknowledge our Divinity. It is safe to sparkle and to shine our light, to be a beacon to others. This is our purpose.

SUVs are currently on a winning streak and it's easy to see why writes Geraldine Herbert
What is it? An MPV is not the car of choice for style conscious families. If you are in the market for one it's unlikely that you are a singleton, no it is because you are in need of extra seats and space, possibly as much as 1,000 litres, with the seats folded down. In the age of the Urban SUV, Peugeot has looked at the most important, decision-shaping consumer desirables within the family-buying market – style, space and elegance and have reimagined their 5008 from the wheels up
First impressions of the new Peugeot 5008? Sharing only a name with the outgoing model the 5008 is no longer a boxy MPV but rather a smart SUV. In this highly competitive market segment, style and packaging is all important and the 5008 scores well, it is distinctive and elegant. The deep grille, smart headlights and roof racks all add to it's appeal.
What about the interior? Inside everything is smooth and logical, behind Peugeot's small steering wheel is a virtual cockpit; the "iCockpit", a digital dashboard. The contemporary design is elegant and there's the impression that every detail has been considered. The previous model may not have been one of Peugeot's most desirable cars but it was certainly one of their most practical with a flexible seating arrangement and stacks of space. Fans of the old one will not be disappointed, the new model offers lots of legroom without scrimping on the boot space and loses none of the flexibility, third row passengers now enjoy even more head room than before, thanks to an increase in the length over the previous 5008 MPV model. Even second row passengers benefit from 6cm more knee room, it may not seem like a lot but on a long journey it all adds up. The spacious SUV gets even more generous with the third row of seats removed. This makes for a huge boot capacity, 1,060 litres, perfect for paid-up Ikea card carriers.
And on the road? On the road this functional yet chic seven seater actually has a fun side. Our 1.6 zipped along with 120bhp of gusto and returns a promised 4.2 litres per 100 kms. Reassuringly the 5008 is offered with Grip Control. This is a system that provides more traction and control than a two-wheel drive vehicle for that extra reassurance on wet roads or snow-covered motorways. Diesel engines are offered as a 100ps 1.6 manual or a 120ps and a 2-litre in 150ps manual and 180ps. The choice of petrol engines includes a 130ps 1.2 turbo with manual or automatic gears, and a 165ps 1.6 auto.
How Much? Prices start from €29,345 for the Access 1.2 130bhp PureTech petrol version.
How Safe? Boasting a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, the 5008 comes with 6 airbags, an automatic braking system and front collision warning as standard but if you want the full suite of safety features offered by the Safety Plus pack safety – then you'll have to go for the "Allure" trim level.
What about my options? Five trim levels are offered, Access, Active, Allure, GT Line and GT versions. All 5008s feature a configurable 12.3″ head-up digital instrument panel, an 8" touchscreen, multifunction steering wheel, Bluetooth, USB connectivity and 3 x 12V sockets. Treat yourself to the top of the line GT 2.0 litre BlueHDi automatic version that includes 3D navigation, voice recognition, driver seat multi-point massage function, driver seat memory function, driver seat 8-way electric adjustment (includes electric lumbar adjustment), driver and front passenger seat heating and seat adjustable cushion nose, full grain leather seat trim with Aikinite double stitch detail and grey oak dash & panel finish.
3 words to describe the Peugeot 5008: Stylish; Practical; Spacious

Dear Lincoln,
Wow, 5 months already! It's hard to believe that next month will already be your half birthday! Time is flying by and I'm so glad I get to spend these precious moments with you!
This month was a little more relaxed for us, which is good! You had a busy couple of months since you've been born. It was a pretty chilly January so we spent a lot of the time inside. This meant we both had to get our exercise somehow! I started a new workout routine this month and so did you (well kinda!) You enjoyed time in your jumparoo watching me sweat!
We went to plenty of grandpa's hockey games this month and you were great at all of them! We also ventured up to Copper Harbor one day to see all the pretty snow on the trees, but I think you slept the whole time!
You started to eat rice cereal this month and really like it! You also like to try and eat with the spoon yourself so it makes for a messy meal, but that's okay, it's great to watch you learn how to do new things. I can't wait to try vegetables next!
You sure are a rollie-pollie-ollie this month. Now that you can roll both ways it's hard to keep you in one place. You're also trying to scoot around on the floor but you can only do it if your head is on the ground. I can tell you're gonna be all over the place pretty soon!
I'm excited to see what's in store for this next month. Maybe you'll finally be getting those teeth that seem like you've been getting for a while. We'll also be taking your first road trip to Minneapolis and we'll go to the Mall of America so there will be plenty for you to look at there! Hopefully this next month will be a little warmer so we can venture outside too!

The Master Cleanse
Its that time of the year again, time for Goldie to undertake his Master Cleanse! "Master Cleanse?" you ask? Us too! So, we got the info from the man himself:
It consists of spending 10 days fasting & drinking a tonic of just 4 ingredients - water, lemon juice, maple syrup and cayenne pepper. Although you can drink as many of these as you like each day, you're not allowed anything else. Every 3 days, you have to drink a pint of a solution made from hot water & sea salt. This is clearly not a diet for the weak-willed, people who feel the need for a bit of cake with their mid-morning cuppa need not apply!
Just like the science behind each tune that Metalheadz puts out, the point of the Master Cleanse is that each ingredient has its own special purpose:
Lemon Juice - helps your body detoxify
Maple Syrup - provides you with energy
Cayenne Pepper - boosts your metabolism
If your feeling brave then you can find out more here.
Just Remember Eating is cheating (especially sausages)!

Don't Care 'Bout Your Bad Behaviour
We are barely into day two and Roland Garros has been more about frustrations and mental collapses than the usual triumph and excitement associated with a Slam. Granted, there are always heartbreaking losses, but the heartbreaks at Roland Garros have been, well, not so heart-felt. It all started with Victoria Azarenka. Coming off an injury Azarenka wasn't expected to play the Slam of her life by any means, but an absolute thumping first round by giant-slayer Gisela Dulko certainly wasn't on the cards. However, it was Azarenka's refusal to face the music which eventually drew the headlines. After her 6-1 6-2 loss, Azarenka skipped her press conference and was fined $4000.
Lucky for her, the negative attention was about to be stolen by someone else. Richard Gasquet has always had the reputation of the choker but some thought he might be revived after his win in Nice the previous week. Gasquet was simply stunning for the first two and a half sets against Andy Murray, racing to a two sets to love lead with a mini-break in hand. What ensued wasn't pretty. Gasquet fell apart mentally in the third and completely gave up in the fourth and fifth. He was heard talking himself down saying, 'I am running on empty'. Murray showed that the right attitude and mentality can bring you through matches, even when you are the inferior player on the day.
The drama continued. A day after Gasquet fell apart mentally, Safina made sure to remind us that her bad back isn't the only part of her body she needs to overcome. Safina's mind played havoc with her as she crashed to a devastating loss to 39 year old Kimiko Date Krumm. The third set score, 7-5, showed that whilst Safina certainly didn't give up, she still cannot hold her nerve. Safina has recently split with her long-term coach, let's hope she finds someone who can fix her biggest flaw.
As upsetting as Safina's loss was, Sam Querrey's was all the more unexpected. Displaying none of the determination needed to succeed at Slam level, Querrey lost in four sets to Robbie Ginepri. The set he did win was the first and this is very telling about Querrey's mentality.
"I just got tired," he said after the match, "Mentally not there. Just did not enjoy myself out there. It's been like that on and off for like a while. So I'm going home tomorrow. I've not been a professional, you know, on and off for the last few months, you're out there facing one opponent. You don't want to face the opponent and myself. I just need to get it together mentally in my head. You know, right now I'll be enjoying it and as soon as one thing goes wrong, I'm done. My coach thinks I'm a little tapped out."
Tapped out is an understatement. After appearing on adverts with John Isner about their chances at doubles, blogging on http://tennis.com with Isner, and playing some decent clay-court tennis, Querrey tanked the rest of the match against Ginepri. He then pulled out of doubles and put himself on a flight home, along the way deleting his twitter account presumably to avoid the criticism from fans.
There is no doubt that sport is a test of both mental and physical strength and only those with both will make it to the very top. Azarenka, Gasquet and Querrey are displaying a defeatist attitude, one in which they are not willing to admit their own mistakes and learn from them. Gasquet gave up as soon as Murray got a set and never found the will to fight back. No matter how much talent he has, Gasquet will never get to where he could without the right attitude. It's similar for Azarenka, facing the media may be hard but it can also be a learning curve. As for Querrey, he let down his best friend on tour to escape his own demons. Running away is never a good option and Querrey and Azarenka will realise it in their own time. As for Safina, she is a different problem altogether. Safina has shown great mentality in the past and she's certainly not one to give up. Safina has the right attitude she just lacks the belief. Belief, however, can be conditioned and gained with help from a good team. Dumping her coach could be her best move yet. As for Azarenka, Querrey, and Gasquet, their games may be getting closer to the top-level but their maturity clearly isn't. Time and experience may teach them, but then perhaps they will never change. Personally, I hold more hope for Azarenka and Querrey then what I do for Gasquet. Let's hope the rest of Roland Garros is played with enthusiasm, dedication, and a never-say-die attitude.

Growth Hormone and Epidermal Growth Factor in Salivary Glands of Giant and Dwarf Transgenic Mice
Published by: Journal of Histochemistry & Cytochemistry
Epidermal growth factor (EGF) in rat salivary glands is regulated by testosterone, thyroxin, and growth hormone (GH). Salivary glands of 45-day-old giant and dwarf male and female transgenic mice were examined histologically and by immunohistochemistry (IHC) for EGF. Male giants showed no significant differences from wild-type (WT) parotid and submandibular glands.

When you die, what legacy will your children be left with?
Many of us will have said and/or heard someone say "if I die today, I will die happy." Same goes for the line "I don't want anyone to wear black to my funeral." Some of us tell loved ones the kind of music we want
What most of us don't talk, or even think about, is the legacy we want to leave behind when we die. I'm not referring to a legacy of monetary value. I'm talking about a legacy that's intangible; one that's intimately related to who we are, what we value, what we believe and how we live.
The title of this post isn't meant to be morbid. It's intended to be cathartic. The point is that there are many times when we need to think about the end of something in order to work out how we want to deal with the beginning of it. It's one way to avoid having regrets. It's also an
Being an intentional parent requires you to think about the legacy you want to leave behind for your children. It requires you to then actively plan it, build it and solidify it. For some of us, this will be liberating, for it gives us a template to follow that will let us draw meaning from life and pass it on. For others, it will be confronting because it forces us out of comfort zones to take a good hard look at ourselves and the way we're living our lives. It might be both.
When speaking about legacy, people often say they want to work hard so they have money or property to leave their children to secure their future. That's a beautiful sentiment and it's one that Sam and I also hold dear. But I don't want the focus on material wealth to overshadow the legacy I really want to leave behind for my children. After all, while material possessions provide us with a tangible connection to the person we've lost, it's the essence of the person we speak about when they're gone; not the 'things' they entrusted to us.
When this world has passed me by, I want my children to be left with life lessons and advice to draw upon. I want them to be left with memories of my character – not just my strengths, but my struggles too. I want them to have stories from me, from Sam and from the generations before us to pass down to their own children. I want them to have no doubt about the all-consuming love I felt for them. I want to be approachable and open with them throughout their lives so that their important questions don't go forever unanswered. I want them to know what social issues mattered to me, what social justice principles I lived by, what angered me, what motivated me and why.
A legacy is not something that's created overnight. It's a process. It's an evolution. In order for a legacy to have integrity, it needs to be given time to establish itself if it's going to have the strength to endure from generation to generation when the founder of it is long gone.
The key to building a legacy is not merely time, but how we spend our time. Some of us whine about becoming bored easily, while others whine about our lives being so busy that we don't have time to stop and smell the roses.
Take a few minutes this week to think about the legacy you want to leave behind. Then make an honest assessment of whether you're currently using your time to build that legacy effectively.
For some of us, a few simple tweaks might make the world of difference. We might tell our child a story from our own childhood at bedtime instead of reading them one. We might pick fewer battles with our kids…we might pick more. We might sacrifice some of our mindless Facebook checks for another two minutes of conversation with our children about their day. We might talk to our children differently, or to our partners differently in front of them. We might show our children more affection, or our partners more affection in front of them.
Your legacy is not created on the day you die. It's already begun taking shape, whether you like it or not. So take control of it, enjoy building it, and leave your children with a legacy you want to be remembered by.

THE head of the US Marines stationed in Darwin has reportedly been stood down after he was caught drink-driving at more than double the legal limit on the city's infamous night strip.Story here.
Colonel James Schnelle pleaded guilty in the Darwin Local Court on Monday to driving with a medium-range blood alcohol level of .102 in the early hours of a Sunday morning last month.
The court this morning heard that the commander failed a random breath test on Darwin's Mitchell Street on September 30.
No conviction was recorded, but the Colonel was issued a $500 fine plus a $150 levy and had his driver's license suspended for six months.
The court heard Colonel Schnelle had also been stood down from his job of commanding the largest-ever contingent of Marines to rotate through the Top End, the ABC reports.
"This is a man of very high character, he has no convictions anywhere in the world and has contributed immensely to society," Colonel Schnelle's lawyer told the court.
"The US Marines are going to deal with him very harshly."
Australia is in a strategically important location for the US. They're a great ally, their people like Americans and their public LOVES Marines.
It's gonna be a confusing transition period for the Corps and the Marines that go on deployment there.
Most places there is a tension that keeps the aware on their toes.
You're not gonna go out and party too hard cause you don't know what you might meet heading back to the ship. Liberty briefings usual include a warning about how the locals hate and despise you. You know criminals will target you but the real threat is the average citizen getting a wild hair. Thump a thug and run to ship you're ok. An average citizen and you some explaining to do.
But Australia.
Go to a bar and they're buying you drinks. Tell a couple good stories and your money stays in your pocket. Before you know it you're three sheets to the wind and looking slack eyed and silly.
The other crazy thing.
The laws are totally different. I bet this colonel was monitoring himself and in the US he'd be borderline in most places, just over in others. He simply got his math wrong. His burn rate wasn't as good as he thought it was. But in Aussie land he's 3 times over the limit.
It's shame but the article is right. This colonel had one "oh shit" moment in an otherwise probably awesome career but he's still gonna get his balls hammered. The good Lord might have mercy but the Marine Corps won't.

Disclosure Statement
Appendix re Aims
Australian Beekeepers Cooperative Ltd Group
Relationship and long term objectives of structure.
The original query came from a grower wishing to export honey. As he had only a few hives it seemed obvious that he should secure supply from like minded bee keepers. This led to the plan to establish a cooperative of growers who would mutually give security of supply and share in the value adding process of packing ,marketing,local sales and export.
Given the sorry history over the last 50 years of primary producers selling off their hard earned and quite often visionary value adding assets to "money men" only to be reduced to peasant farmer status by them. We decided on a model suited to and protected for the producer in an equal partnership of capital and producer of goods. The traditional corporate model which has to service a shareholder base remote from the base wealth of the operation is not dishonest but is a base not answerable to the producer. It operates full control of the value adding component. Our objective is to create a structure to be proof against future generations selling the value adding asset when beguiled by promises such as made to Dairy,Sugar,Cotton to name the most prominent of the recent stories.
The founders
Attached is a chart outlining the structure which in essence is a Cooperative employing a partly owned Pty Company which will be the processing and marketing arm of the growers. This structure has been brought to concept maturity by a group of profressionals who have agreed to pool their various skills free of charge in return for a free and carried 10% share in the resultant structures.
The company share structure is outlined in a separate section but is designed to ensure that the Founders company together with the Cooperative can avoid the investor group in the company at some future time taking control. In essence the structure is designed to create a long term partnership between investors and primary producers in a balanced arrangement delivering profits equally between the creators of wealth and the owners of capital.
The beekeepers Cooperative : Australian Beekeepers Cooperative Ltd
We have identified a group of beekeepers who wish to join. These include medium to large enterprises to the smaller units who wish to grow and who want a fair price for their honey over time. Our basic criteria for membership is that they understand that this is a long term venture designed to ensure that control of the group will always be in the hands of beekeepers. Membership will be open to people or businesses who serve the cooperative but the rules will be stricly observed in their admission.
External investors in ABC Honey Pty Ltd
5 0% of the Company shares( A Shares) will be issued to non beekeeper investors or beekeeper members who wish to have a larger share in the value added profits of the enterprise. We do envisage that many of the beekeeper members will also become independent shareholders in the company. Our structure will make clear to speculator investors that this is a company designed to maintain the parities between the parties. We stress that there are real long term benefits to capital in having a prosperous beekeeper component providing the product to be used in the venture in partnership.

The NFL has suspended Browns running back Kareem Hunt for the first eight games of the 2019 season for violations fo the NFL Personal Conduct Policy.
Hunt was cut by the Chiefs in November after a video showed him pushing and kicking a woman the previous February in Cleveland. He was placed on the NFL's commissioner's exempt list Nov. 30 and released by Chiefs the same day.
The Browns signed Hunt last month.
"I want to again apologize for my actions last year," Hunt said via a Browns' release. "I know that my behavior hurt a lot of people, and I again apologize to them. I respect the league's decision on discipline, and I appreciate the time I spent with Commissioner (Roger) Goodell last week. I'm grateful for my time with the Browns over the last month and thankful to all the people in the organization that have welcomed me. I also appreciate all of the support I received from my union through this process.
"My commitment to earning the trust of the league, my teammates, the organization and this community through my actions will continue, and I understand there is a lot of hard work ahead of me before I'm able to fully return to playing the game I love."
Browns general manager John Dorsey drafted Hunt out of the University of Toledo when Dorsey worked for the Chiefs.

Duration:2 years
Country: Orkney Islands, UK
What did this project achieve?
Economy boosted
Environment benefited
Solved the problem
Used engineering skill
The European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) is the first and only facility in the world to test wave and tidal technologies for manufacturers.
EMEC uses purpose-built equipment in the sea around the Orkney Islands to try out new energy devices.
The organisation was set up by public sector bodies on the back of recommendations from UK government in 2001. Its £30m funding comes from the EU, Scottish government and Highlands and Islands Enterprise, among others.
The centre tests wave and tidal energy converters in real sea conditions.
A wave converter – e.g. a point absorber buoy – floats on the sea and converts the motion of waves into energy.
A tidal energy converter – such as a tidal stream generator – uses the power from tides coming in or going out to create energy. The tidal movement often turns a wheel or turbine to generate power.
Wave and tide technologies are relatively new but they are expected to make a greater contribution to energy production in the future. EMEC's work is part of a wider plan to ensure the security of energy supply in Europe.
EMEC's clients include energy company Eon, engineering multinational Voith and train manufacturers Alstom.
The European Marine Energy Centre: EMEC
The EMEC project has helped to boost the profile of wave and tidal energy production. Companies from around the world are showing greater interest in the technologies as a commercial proposition.
EMEC estimates that local companies benefit by about £1m from each device tested.
The centre's work means that marine energy now supports around 300 jobs in the Orkneys.
EMEC has hosted 19 companies trialing 30 wave and tidal technologies on its test areas in seas around the Orkney Islands. It's also worked on over 100 research and development projects.
Engineers chose the Orkneys as the islands see a wide range of tide and wave conditions as well as having sheltered harbours.
The differing conditions mean developers can explore how equipment can be installed and maintained in rough conditions while still producing energy efficiently.
EMEC has 14 full scale test sites, or berths. Project engineers used 30km of subsea cables to connect the berths to onshore substations where they meet the UK national grid.
We could see green hydrogen, over time, replace polluting fuels in our cars, vans and ferries.

Neil Kermode
Managing director, on EMEC's hydrogen breakthrough in 2017
EMEC claimed a world first in 2017 when it generated hydrogen gas from tidal energy. The breakthrough was paid for by £3m of funding from the Scottish government.
The hydrogen gas was produced after prototype tidal energy converters fed power into an electrolyser at the centre's onshore substation.
It's hoped that the hydrogen from this and similar methods will eventually produce electricity for use as auxiliary power for ferries when they're tied up at night.

"Young people everywhere have been allowed to choose between love and a garbage disposal unit. Everywhere they have chosen the garbage disposal unit."
—Guy Debord, French writer, born December 28, 1931
Almost everywhere the trend is toward zero population growth. There are a number of good reasons for it:
- Social security provision in advanced economies replaces the need for children to care for aged parents.
- Women are educated and participate in the workforce.
- Housing is expensive in advanced economies. Large families take up more space.
- Sex is no longer the only cheap entertainment available to most people. There's a lot more to do in the dark today.
- Birth control means that even when people are still having sex (see the piece about Japanese young people and the remarks in today's link about rising "singlehood" among Singaporean women) they don't have to have children if they don't want to.
Model Railroads. Back in the day, there wasn't much choice: you could either buy what Lionel or American Flyer offered or you made your own. People would have miniature machine tools to make their own rolling stock, even, as well as making landscapes out of sponges and houses out of balsa wood. Now you can buy it all.
I'm reminded also of John Phillip Sousa's fears about mechanical reproduction of sound. We can listen to all of the music in the world (gain) but fewer of us can make music ourselves (loss).
I love to cook. I got there by loving food and wanting to eat things that I couldn't get in the United States like Italian cooking as practiced in Italy and non-Americanized Chinese cooking. Much as I enjoy a meal in a good restaurant, I'd almost always rather eat my own cooking. I regret that I can't play the piano or guitar: because I love music I'd like to make it with my own brain and hands, just as I do with cooking.
Zero Population Growth in Singapore
"Right now the total fertility rate in Singapore is at about 1.2 and at times it has slipped down as far as 1.16. "
Why does Singapore have such a low birth rate?
Model Railroads, Yesterday and Today
"What we do today, and brilliantly, is model the entire railroad: We actually fill out the paper forms and "operate" the railroad more or less prototypically, even — here we find class again — modeling (reproducing) the social relations that make the General Code of Operating Rules come alive (leaving out the Jay Goulds and Jim Fisks, of course). And we model the landscape (the "scenery") infinitely better today than we did forty years ago, although we model the contours of the land by carving pink slabs of (petroleum-based) styrofoam, spraying electrostatic (petroleum-based) model grasses, gluing down the track with caulking guns like Martha Stewart, instead of using metal spikes for pity's sake…."
Happy Boxing Day: My Train Set, Devolution, and Evolution

"Without proper foundations, there can be no fashion."What foundations? Foundation garments - corsets, of course! Most vintage pieces were cut to be worn with at least a girdle or merry widow, so their waists tend to be too small with a different hang and posture if worn without shapewear. A Dark Garden corset makes a wonderful foundation for vintage dresses and gowns, yet is cut to suit modern bodies with unparalleled all-day support and comfort. Our standard fit line is based on an average of thousands of our handmade bespoke corsets, and doesn't pinch or roll like stretch shapewear.

We, the class of 2018, will be donating to the Green Initiatives Fund as our class gift. This allows more sustainability-related projects to take place on campus. Our class has expressed a strong interest in sustainability, but our first proposal (the electric car charging station) is not realistic, given the timing and funds available at this moment. We support any and all sustainability initiatives, and we look forward to hearing how Olin's greens initiatives expand in the future. Please give today to get our class closer to our $2,000 gift goal.
You are a wonderful part of Olin and we appreciate everything you provide for us.
You were the first great two years of our Olin experience. We remember you for your lounges and weird staircases.
By far the superior of the two dorms, you reflect us in our (more?) mature later years at Olin.
You are treasured and a part of our every day lives. You have contained gems like "snowshoe pizza" from time to time.
You have contributed to all of our academic successes. We wouldn't know how to pass DesNat without you.
You contain a very cool library and delicious coffees and teas.
You are an enigma. Go forth and prosper.

Three penny-stock companies and their CEO – Cherubim Interests, Inc. (CHIT), PDX Partners, Inc. (PDXP), Victura Construction Group, Inc. (VICT), and Patrick Jevon Johnson were the subject of an SEC action to enforce subpoenas this week. SEC v. v. Cherubim Interests, Inc., PDX Partners, Inc., Victura Construction Group, Inc., and Patrick Jevon Johnson, No. 2:18-mc-00175 (C.D. Cal. filed December 21, 2018)
According to the SEC's application as described in Litigation Release 24380 dated 26 December 2018, on December 21, 2018 The SEC announced it sought enforcement of its subpoenas in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California.
The subject of the investigation is to determine whether individuals or entities engaged in a potential pump-and-dump scheme. The securities implicated were CHIT, PDXP, and VICT.
The SEC suspended trading in their securities on February 15, 2018 for 10 days.
The Litigation Release stated that the SEC suspected that these companies may have published false public statements in January 2018 to "pump" the stock price. The alleged claim was that the companies acquired hundreds of millions of dollars of "AAA-rated" assets, even though the companies appeared to have little resources. After increases in market prices for those companies securities spiked, an entity associated with the companies allegedly "dumped" shares in the same companies.http://www.brokerfraud.net
Subpoenas were served in May 2018 but were allegedly not fully complied with.
A court order was requested by the SEC compelling CHIT, PDXP, VICT, to y comply with the subpoenas.

Broke Government Failing to Fund Key Departments
Several government departments, including the police and immigration, have told parliament that all the fees they collect in duties, spot fines and other operations will not be remitted to the treasury, because they have received only a tiny portion of the 2014 national budget allowances from government.
Speaking to the parliamentary portfolio committee on Tuesday, Home Affairs secretary Melusi Matshiya said the Zimbabwe Republic Police, Department of Immigration and the Registrar General were struggling to operate as they have received only 8% of their allocations, halfway through the fiscal year.
According to Newsday newspaper, Matshiya described the situation as "pathetic" and said it compromises these "high-security" departments which need adequate funding to operate.
Matshiya told the committee that Home Affairs was allocated $308 million in 2014. About $6 million was expected during the first quarter of the year, but just $1.5 million had been disbursed so far. He said the whole ministry and different departments have to fundraise to buy basics like vehicles and uniforms.
He also said that 700 police stations countrywide need about 7,000 vehicles. But they only have 1,800 of which only 1,000 are operational. The situation is so "dire" that policemen at times write statements on the back of used papers.
Economist John Robertson told SW Radio Africa that the situation Matshiya sold parliament is nothing new, as government has been failing to fulfill their budgetary requirements for years now.
Robertson said the previous Finance Minister Tendai Biti had authorised police to retain money collected as spot fines back in 2012 and 2013, acknowledging that he was unable to make money available to them from treasury at the rate required.
"This is only one ministry. There are others who collect fees for various services and they have not been remitting those either to the treasury. And that is part of the reason that treasury does not have the money they have been allocating," Robertson explained.
He added that the loss of jobs due to so many company closures has also reduced the amount of income tax collected and VAT that would be due from the shops.
The Home Affairs secretary told legislators that money collected by these departments was properly accounted for, a claim disputed by the economist, who pointed to corruption and mismanagement scandals that have been reported at the police and the tax collecting agencies.

Gove sets out plans for greater biodiversity in housing
THE Government has set out proposals that will require developers to protect wildlife habitats as part of an effort to encourage greener developments.
Environment secretary Michael Gove unveiled the proposals earlier this week. They set out a mandatory requirement on developers to deliver a "biodiversity net gain" when building new homes or commercial developments.
In practice, this means that habitat for wildlife must be "enhanced and left in a measurably better state than they were pre-development".
"Our commitment to protecting and enhancing our natural world can go hand in hand with our ambition to build more high-quality homes," said Gove.
"Mandating biodiversity net gain puts the environment at the heart of planning and development. This will not only create better places for people to live and work, but ensure we leave our environment in a better state for future generations."
The proposed new rules require developers to assess the type of habitat and its condition before submitting plans. Car parks and industrial sites would usually come lower on this scale, while more natural grasslands and woodlands would be given a much higher ranking for their environmental importance, the Government said.
Developers would then be required to demonstrate how they are improving biodiversity – such as through the creation of green corridors, planting more trees, or forming local nature spaces. Green improvements on site would be encouraged, but in the rare circumstances where they are not possible the consultation proposes to charge developers a levy to pay for habitat creation or improvement elsewhere.
The Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG) said that while some developers have already been following a biodiversity net gain approach voluntarily, the proposed standardised, mandatory approach would give them "clarity and certainty" on how to improve the environment through development.
It would also enable them to consider whether any sites – such as small and brownfield sites – should be exempt from the rules.
The Government claims that this new approach will uphold planning protections for sensitive sites such as ancient woodland and sites of special scientific interest, the consultation builds on the experiences of local authorities and developers who have already adopted net gain approaches.
"Net Gain is an ambitious idea that has the potential to bring significant benefits for our declining wildlife and the environment as a whole," said Andrew Sells, chairman of Natural England. "If net gain succeeds for nature then it will also be succeeding for people, because it means that they are living and working with a thriving natural environment all around them."
The consultation runs until 10 February 2019.

A closer look
What are your mission and vision?
Our goal is to equip young people with the skills and tools needed to become effective leaders in movements for social and environmental change.
What are the programs and services offered by your organization?
We offer a 7-month program in five cities across Canada, in which 18-32 year-old social and environmental change leaders have the opportunity to learn more about issues, build skills, and grow their networks. In the 7-month program, a group of 10-16 participants, selected from a larger pool of applicants, and they meet for one evening weekly, and one full day monthly, usually with outside guests who present on a wide variety of topics and skills.
This summer in Saskatoon we are piloting a different version of the program, which we may use in other locations and circumstances, depending on the results. We are offering a five-day intensive version of the program that is more accessible for parents, people in remote locations and others for whom the 7-month program may be inaccessible. This intensive program is being offered specifically to First Nations, Métis and Inuit youth in Saskatchewan in an effort to further our outreach in Indigenous communities. We will hold a focus group after the program ends to obtain participants' input on how we can best support young Indigenous social change leaders going forward.
Whom do you serve/target with your programs and services?
Our programming is offered to 18-32 year-olds, and we seek to attract a diverse group of young people to the program including but not limited to indigenous people, LGBTQ people, people of lower socio-economic status, people of colour, newcomers to Canada and people with disabilities.
What are you working on right now?
The summer program for young indigenous social change leaders runs from July 9 – 13, 2014 and that has our full attention right now. Soon after, we will begin preparing for the 7-month program which begins again on September 28th. The 2014-15 application deadline for the 7-month program will be September 5, 2014.
Do you have a call for volunteers, fundraising, resources, submissions or other?
We are currently seeking organizational funders for 2014-15 and have an ongoing search for monthly donors. People can sign up as donors on our website at www.nextup.ca. We will be issuing our call for applications for 2014-15 in the first two weeks of July.
What is one thing people may not know about your organization?
Most people are not aware of the scope of our program each year: over 50 presenters come in as guests in over 35 sessions each year in our 7-month program.
Please share a story that illustrates your organization's impact in the community.
Max FineDay was a participant in Next Up during its first year in Saskatchewan. After completing the program, he became involved in student politics and is now serving his second term as USSU president.
"I likely wouldn't be where I am today if I hadn't gone through the Next Up program," said Max. "It gave me the skills to enact change in my community and I want others to have the same opportunity."
Max saw the benefits that the program could have for participants and for the community, so he proposed holding a program specifically for indigenous young people. His idea kick-started the Next Up program this summer for young First Nations, Métis and Inuit social change leaders, which he is co-coordinating.
Another fan of Next Up is Melissa Gan. In the summer of 2012 after completing the Next Up program, she was so committed to supporting future participants that she invited people to watch her have her head shaved in support of Next Up. People were able to make donations at the event, paying $1 to snip a chunk of her hair, and putting money into jars based on which design they thought she should have shaved on her head. The jar with the most money at the end of the night was the design Melissa ended up with. The final design: Melissa had a pair of glasses and a mustache on her otherwise bald head and Next Up was the beneficiary of the $1000 raised.
What types of challenges does your organization face?
We are a small organization trying to catalyze big changes. Our program supports young leaders who are often challenging the status quo, and therefore not everyone wants to support us. We have trouble recruiting young men for the program and sometimes have trouble recruiting as diverse a group of participants as we would like.

What You Need To Know About the Property Investment Groups
Although you may opt to be buying homes in the real estate business as an individual, it is again interesting to see how many people are doing it as a group. Everyone can see that the real estate business is a great business opportunity based on how it rewards those who are patient in it. For anyone you see doing well in the real estate world, there is something special they know about this field that other people are struggling to find. If you don't have much money to start a real estate business, you may not be able to move with the speed you thought you could.
Among the many options you may have in venturing into this business includes investing in what most people call real estate investment group. One of the things you should when planning to join such a group is to know their schemes. Whenever you see people investing in groups especially in the real estate business, just know they have their families in mind. It is evident that such people only want to have friends and relatives surrounding them.
The main purpose of these investment groups is to build condos, many homes, and flats. Distance is of importance when it comes to building these flats and homes since these groups want them close. If anyone happens to show interest in buying these flats or homes, the group can decide to sell them as long as they have met the laid requirements. It is important to know that buying a set of flats and homes from an investment group may not be a big thing as long as the buyer is serious.
The ownership of these homes or flats goes to the new buyer who doesn't need to spend time thinking how the flats would be maintained or looked after. Actually, the investment group becomes responsible for the maintenance the flats and homes they sold demand. Although you may have managed to buy one of the flats or homes from the investment group, yours would be ensuring you don't violate the legal affairs and contracts you signed with them. Everyone in the investment group would know you have become the owner once you put down your pen and sign on the dotted line.
You need to be sure you are joining the right investment group and you can do this by investigating about the group first.Don't approach the group before you have known and understand all its facts straight. If the property investment group has a prospectus, it is advisable to keenly look at it.

Hiking the Alum Cave Trail to Mt LeConte is a must if you're heading into the Great Smoky Mountains National Park! Reaching the summit of Mt. LeConte will put you at the top of Tennessee's tallest mountain at 6,593 ft., which will offer you amazing views of the surrounding mountains.
There are a few different trails to get to the summit of Mt. LeConte but hiking the Alum Cave Trail to Mt LeConte route was super fun. The trail will keep surprising you as you follow a flowing creek, climb stone steps through a naturally-made arch and hang on to a metal cable as you hike cliffside.
Hike Alum Cave Trail to Mt LeConte
Distance: 10.8 miles
Time: 5 hours
Elevation Gain: 2,759 feet
Difficulty: Moderate
How to get to Alum Cave Trail:
The Alum Cave Trailhead in Great Smoky Mountains National Park is located just outside of Gatlinburg, Tennessee. From the Sugarlands Visitor Center near Gatlinburg, drive 8.6 miles east on Newfound Gap Road or US-441 S. You will find parking for the Alum Cave Trail on your left.
There are two parking lots to the trailhead because of its popularity. There are parking pullouts half a mile north and south as well. Bathrooms are not open off-season.
What to pack:
- Rain jacket
- Ice grips
- Trekking poles
- Gloves
- Water
- Snacks
Alum Cave Trail to Arch Rock
There are a few highlights along the Alum Cave Trail to the summit of Mt LeConte: Arch Rock, Alum Cave Bluffs, and Mt. LeConte. Arch Rock is just 1.4 miles from the trailhead. The trail starts off pretty mellow and follows alongside Alum Cave Creek. If you hike the trail during early summer, you'll get to see beautiful blooms of rosebay rhododendron. The trail gradually inclines before reaching the final log bridge crossing just before Arch Rock.
Arch Rock to Alum Cave Bluffs
Arch rock is a natural arch with stone-carved steps that you'll have to climb up as you follow the trail through the cave. Don't mistake Arch Rock for Alum Cave Bluffs. You are well on your way but you'll continue ascending the trail for another mile.
Alum Cave Bluffs
At mile 2.3, you'll reach Alum Cave Bluffs. Depending on the perspective, Alum Cave may look like a cave but it's actually a concave bluff that is around 80 feet high and 500 feet long. During the winter you can find massive icicles hanging above. We hiked the trail in February and had to dodge water droplets and large icicles falling from above, so be careful while you walk underneath it.
Alum Cave Bluffs to Mt. LeConte
You are already halfway to the top of Mt. LeConte! The trail continues to ascend towards the summit of 6,593 ft. There are plenty of switchbacks along the way as well as metal cables to hold on to as you hike on narrow ledges.
In February, we found a lot of ice built up on the ledges and the metal cables completely frozen over. This made it difficult to cross some areas. It would be useful to have gloves and ice grips on your shoes in these areas.
After passing one of the last ledges, the trail starts to level out as you wander through the spruce-fir forest. The trail runs into the Rainbow Falls Trail and you'll find the LeConte Lodge nearby.
Mt. LeConte Lodge
It was supposed to rain on us, but it started to snow instead! The snow was heavy and there was A LOT of it. If you veer off to the left, you'll find LeConte Lodge. LeConte Lodge is the highest guest lodge in the eastern United States and sits just below the summit of Mt. LeConte. The lodge is only accessibly by hiking to it. During the summer, you can stay the night at the lodge.
The true summit and a panoramic viewpoint
The trail doesn't end at LeConte Lodge. In order to reach the reach summit, you'll continue along the trail until you find a large cairn, or pile of rocks, that marks the true summit of Mt. LeConte.
If you want to get an amazing panoramic view of the Smoky Mountains, you can take the Cliff Tops route on the right side of the trail. It's another 0.2 mile climb to the top and it is absolutely worth it.
By the time we reached the top of Cliff Tops, the snow stopped and the sky cleared up just long enough to get these incredible views! AMAZING!
The hike to the summit of Mt. LeConte takes about 5 hours roundtrip. Reaching the summit was absolutely magical. Be careful on your way down so you're not slipping of any ledges!

Well that was fun….
Fixing the file system issue I had was FUN.
Full of Unexpected sNafus.
Parted works great! Except when you need to move the STARTING position of where a partition is. Ouch.
For those of you out there who have run into this, in order resize a partition where you need to change the start of the partition, you essentially have to move all the data off and delete it. There are ways to create new partitions in the space you have left free by shrinking another partition, but I ran into problems there because I was goofing around with a mixture of primary and extended partitions. That did not work out well.
So three hours later, everything is up and running. And as of this post, all is fully back to normal. Went from 78% full to 39% full on the partition in question.

He was a young man, 6 months into his new job. He spent more than 3 hours in traffic, every day, commuting from home to office. On one Monday though, he woke up with the feeling that he didn't want to do this anymore. He loved his work. He also loved the comfort of his home. But the painstaking travel was finally getting to him. As usual, he packed his bag and left for work. But he had already told his boss that he was not coming to office that day. So he went to a park that was on his route and sat there, under the shade of a tree in a quiet corner, to arrive at a solution:
I could move out of my home. I have studied in a hostel before so living by myself is nothing new. Yes, I will miss my room, mother's cooking, the evening conversations with father; but all of us need to become independent at some point. Father would agree with that. Mother would not but would eventually warm up to the idea. Now, moving out was the solution. But where will I go?
A PG? Never. They have too many rules. They're always crammed with people and there is barely any space to breathe. A shared accommodation where I get a room to myself? Maybe. At least I will have my own room. An independent house? A studio apartment or a small 1BHK to start off with? Sure, I can afford that with my salary. But what about setting it up?
Should I look for a fully furnished or semi-furnished home? But they're expensive and I can't really trust the furniture that the landlord leaves there. Plus, if anything gets damaged, the cost of repairing or replacing it will fall on my head. So, should I look for an unfurnished place? That means I can take my own bed and everything from my room there. But transporting it all is an extra cost. And what if the movers and packers damage my furniture? That means I won't have a bed to sleep and mom will go ballistic knowing the furniture broke. So, what should I do?
And there he sat, engulfed in this difficult conundrum. Everything seemed on track until now. Everything except the answer to "how will I furnish my home?" Morning turned to lunch. Lunch turned to an evening snack but this question remained unanswered. Soon it was time to go home.
He couldn't find an answer. So he did what all of us do when we're stuck. He looked up and asked God for help. Ten minutes later, his mind was still blank. I will think about this later, he thought. Let me do something different. And that is when Lord Ganesha answered…
"Fool!", he shouted. He had seen their ad a million times on YouTube. He had even commented about how they should really stop spamming him with content. He had made it a point to dislike everything they put on social media. And now, they were the solution. Furlenco!
Now it all made sense, renting furniture. The idea that an entire home could be furnished with awesome furniture at a fraction of the cost. The idea that he could relocate to any part of the city without worrying about furniture. The idea that he could swap for any furniture and never get bored of coming home. The idea that he could save all the money he would invest on furniture and do something more meaningful with it.
So he went home with a smile on his face. It was the smile of knowing that his prayers were answered. It was time for new beginnings. All the obstacles in front of him were destroyed. He had chosen to live better now. Thanks to Lord Ganesha. And Furlenco!


text: Hey guys, I would like to offer my vocals for your project! I mainly do clean vocals and melodic metal is my main thing, see the video below. However, I'm most certainly open to singing whatever good music. I can record and edit at home and even write my own lyrics and melodies if need be. I just want to sing great songs, so if you have any that need vocals, hit me up! Here's my newest cover, RavenLight off the new Kamelot album, The Shadow Theory. In case the Youtube link gets blocked due to the album being so new, here's a link to Vimeo:

Our beautiful Maine Coon cats are more than just pets, they're family.
Adopt a Kitten
Tuftscoons is a small European Maine Coon cattery based two (2) hours east of Toronto, Ontario.
Our cats are family raised in our loving home.
Maine Coons are known as the "gentle giants" of the domesticated cat world. Possessing above-average intelligence makes them relatively easy to train. They are known for being loyal to their family and cautious, but not mean around strangers. These cats are independent and not clingy.
The Maine Coon is generally not known for being a "lap cat" but they do love to be near their family, often snuggling up close to them. Their gentle disposition makes the breed relaxed around dogs, other cats and children.
They're playful throughout their lives, with males and females being equally affectionate. Many Maine Coons have a fascination with water and some people theorize that this personality trait comes from the cats ancestors, who were aboard ships for much of their lives.
Maine Coons are known for being very vocal cats and their frequent chattering, chirping, "talking" (especially "talking back" to their owners), and making other vocalizations.

If you are able to find comfort from small kitchen appliances, why choose the big one. The development of the age, the easier we are in life. Especially in the field of household appliances. As the days progressed, we could hardly keep up. Home appliances are now increasingly trendy and multi functional and have a space-saving design. As in our conversation this time. A small boiling pot complete with a mixture that is increasingly charming. Present in a small size makes it easy for you to store and use it.
Next is other kitchen equipment. Even if it's just a kitchen appliance, you must get comfort when using it. Doing work is also getting easier. Similarly, gadgets are increasingly making our work easier. Then household equipment cannot be defeated. Providing comfort is the main purpose of an equipment.
Next is a sophisticated cutting machine. You don't need to worry with your hands at risk of getting a knife. Cutting will be easier with a vegetable cutting machine. You just need to put the vegetables you want to cut at the top of the machine. Then the potatoes will come out in the form of small pieces. This thing will really give you security. The shape and thickness of the cut can also be adjusted to your needs.
The activity that is no less troublesome is washing vegetables. Making vegetables not to fall when washing is sometimes a difficult job. But with the help of a tool all feels light. A vegetable washing bowl equipped with a support will help keep the vegetables intact when poured. Peeling an apple is now easy with the help of a peeler. Furthermore, you can bake bread anywhere with minimum space, because the mini oven now comes with very functional.

A favorite among Progressive Trance followers for his epic DJ sets and larger-than-life original tunes, Holland-born DJ Tiësto rose to the forefront of the genre in record time. Not unlike contemporaries BT, Ferry Corsten, Paul Van Dyk and Sasha & Digweed (to name but a few), Tiësto's take on Trance is anything but alienating. His own tracks are grandiose efforts featuring wispy female vocals embedded in a hypnotic atmosphere awash with dream-like synths.

Losing Weight with Digestive Health
Where to Get Your Fiber
Where to Get Your Fiber
Plant foods, including fruits, vegetables, nuts, and grains are great sources of dietary fiber. Things such as milk, meat, and eggs contain no fiber. The form in which you ingest a food may or may not affect the amount of its fiber content. Surprisingly, canned and frozen fruits and vegetables have just as much fiber as they do in
their natural state. But other types of processing can have an adverse effect on a food's fiber content. Both drying and crushing, for example, destroy fiber's ability to hold water. And any removal of seeds, hulls, or peels will also diminish fiber content.
That is why whole tomatoes have more fiber than peeled tomatoes, which have more fiber than simple tomato juice. And, as we all know, whole-wheat bread contains more fiber than plain white bread.
Fiber supplements come in any number of ways. You can buy simple bran tablets or purified cellulose. In fact, many laxativessold as stool softeners are fiber supplements.
How much fiber does a person need? There is currently no Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) for fiber, but the average American probably eats about fourteen grams of dietary fiber per day. People with problems such as high cholesterol would probably find some relief if they ate a diet containing up to forty grams of dietary fiber per day. This requires a radical change in eating habits.
Not only must the intake of whole grains, fruits, vegetables,and dried beans increase dramatically, but these changes must take place gradually to prevent problems such as excess gas anddiarrhea. (Anyone with a chronic disease should talk to their doctor before making any great changes in their diet.)
Fiber Content on Food Labels
The labels on food reflect public health concerns and now include a daily reference value for specific nutrients, including fiber.
The recommended amount of fiber is twenty-five grams a day based on a two thousand–calorie diet. That would be thirty grams per day based on a twenty-five hundred–calorie diet.
Statements to the effect that something is "made with oat bran" or is "high in oat bran" suggest that the product in question has a substantial amount of oat bran in it. When a statement suggests that an item contains a particular amount of fiber, it can onlysay so if the food really does meet a definition of "high fiber" or a "good source of fiber."
Four High-Protein Body Purifiers
Researchers have found that two types of health bacteria, Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus are helpful in both improving digestion and in body detoxification. This bacterium is the same as those used to culture various sour food products, including yogurt. Many individuals use these products as part of their herbal weight-loss program since they are low-fat, high in protein, and improve digestion. Four of the most popularvarieties are:
1. Soy or seed yogurt—This is a non-dairy product prepared from soy milk or a combination of seeds and acidophilus. It is generally very sour and is popular primarily with people who want to avoid milk products while receiving the
benefits of acidophilus.
Carrots 1
⁄2 cup 0.4
Cauliflower 1
⁄2 cup 1.6
Celery 1
⁄2 cup 1.1
Corn 1
⁄2 cup 4.7
Lentils, Cooked 1

Tomato 1 small 1.5
Winter Squash 1
⁄2 cup 3.5
Zucchini 1
⁄2 cup 2.0
Almonds 2 Tbsp. 1.5
Peanuts 2 Tbsp. 0.8
2. Buttermilk—Many people believe the myth that buttermilk is high in butter due to its name. The truth is that buttermilk is a wonderfully healing food! It is low in fat, high in protein, and high in calcium. Its rich lactic acid
content is also healing to the intestines.
3. Low-fat, skim-milk yogurts—These have less butterfat than whole-milk yogurts (l percent to l.5 percent fat). On a
weight-management program, the difference between whole-milk and skim milk varieties is about thirty calories
per eight-ounce container of unflavored yogurt. When preserves or flavorings are added, the caloric content per
cup of plain skim-milk yogurt can increase from about l50 calories to some 250 or more.
4. Kefir—This is a cultured milk drink that virtually all liquid "yogurt drinks" have attempted to copy. Similar to
yogurt in taste and nutritional value, kefir in its original form was prepared from mare's milk by nomads in Asia
and Russia who drank it as an alcoholic beverage.
Commercially available kefir is alcohol-free and is flavored much like yogurt with fruit preserves and sugar. Kefir is
thinner than yogurt but still thick enough to spoon out.
Most varieties made from low-fat milk have about eightyfive calories in a six-ounce serving of plain and ll5 calories
if fruited. Kefir has similar virtues as any other dairy product: high-quality protein, calcium, and many of the B
vitamins. And, like yogurt, it can be made from low-fat milk.
Note: when buying all food products seek out those that are organically grown, made from non-genetically modified ingredients, and in the case of dairy products, dairy products that are produced from hormone-free milk.
