Cougars Earn 6-1 Victory Over the Gauchos on Senior Day
April 14, 2007
PULLMAN, Wash. - Seniors Amy Toth and Marjolein van de Ven collected victories in their final home match en route to a 6-1 victory over the Santa Barbara Gauchos (9-8, 3-2 Big West), Saturday afternoon at Hollingbery Fieldhouse.
The victory secures a winning record for WSU (14-10, 1-6 Pac-10) and marks the first time since 1995-96 seasons the Cougars posted back-to-back winning seasons. WSU increased its perfect 3-0 record over UC Santa Barbara with Saturday's win.
Toth, from Mississauga, Ontario, Canada native, inched closer to becoming the only player in school history to post three consecutive 20 wins seasons after a 6-2, 6-1 victory over Carina Bjornstrom. Toth holds a 17-16 record on the season and captured her 75th career-win. The final home victory earned Toth sole possession of fifth place on the all-time wins list and gave the Cougars a 2-0 lead in the match.
The Delft, Netherlands native, van de Ven, earned her 24th victory of the season and increased the WSU lead to 3-0 with her 6-1, 6-2 win against Asagi Onaga in the No. 3 slot. Her 24 wins ties last year mark, which tied her fifth on the WSU single season victory list.
Junior Ekaterina Burduli secured the victory after her three-set win over Marta Simic, 3-6, 6-4, 6-1 in the No. 1 slot. Burduli dropped the first set 6-3, before storming back in the second set, 6-4. The Tel Aviv, Israel native eased through the final set allowing only one game to Simic. Burduli earned her 21st win and is the fifth player in school history to post two consecutive 20 victory seasons.
WSU would increase its margin victory with wins in the No. 5 and 6 slots. Aleksandra Stefanova and Anastesia Opata both used straight-sets to ease past their opponents.
The Cougars attempt at a clean sweep fell short in the No. 4 slot as Santa Barbara's Charlotte Scattlife defeated Aleksandra Cekic in three sets, 6-4, 4-6, 6-4.
The Cougars started out the day by taking a quick 1-0 advantage in doubles play. Burduli and van de Ven clinched the point after an 8-4 win over Simic and Scattlife in the No. 1 slot. The WSU duo captured their 22nd career victory placing them seventh on the all-time list.
In other doubles action, Cekic and Stefanova earned an 8-3 win over Tova Hausman and Brittany Kausen. Santa Barbara would deny the doubles sweep as Bjornstrom and Onaga defeated Opata and Toth, 9-7.

The UITP Awards celebrate the most innovative and ambitious sustainable mobility projects undertaken in the last two years in cities and regions around the world.
The 2019 UITP Awards were handed out during the Global Public Transport Summit in Stockholm. We sat down with each winning team to learn more about their project and to pick their brains about innovation in the sector.
Winner of the Award "Young Researchers": University of Maryland for 'incenTrip'
Tell us briefly about your project.
IncenTrip is a multimodal travel planning tool on your smartphone empowered by predictive big data analytics, behavioural research and incentive optimisation. The app disseminates predictive traveller information to its users, finds alternative travel options, and offers attractive monetary and non-monetary incentives to help form travel behavioural patterns that benefit the entire transport system. Instead of herding all travellers towards the shortest paths, incenTrip encourages more non-auto travels, usage of the underutilised mass transit system, and departures at less congested departure times, to address the congestion challenge and improve the system efficiency in an urban transport system.
What are some of this project's key successes?
The project has received support from Washington D.C.'s Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments and Maryland Department of Transportation. Starting from July 2019, the product will be used officially in the Washington-Baltimore region by a user pool of over 35,000 regular commuters.
In what way does this project bring about significant change in the public transport sector?
By providing the right combination of information and incentives to potential transit users, the app nudges them towards long-term adoption of public transit. With the user pool through government collaborations, the project is likely to reach the critical mass to lead to increased transit ridership and mitigated congestion in the roadway system. This significant change in the public transport sector is achieved cost-effectively, without requiring any new infrastructure or major investment.
By providing the right combination of information and incentives to potential transit users, the app nudges them towards long-term adoption of public transit.
How does it benefit public transport users?
Individual users will have access to real-time and predictive information about transit and other modes available for their travels. By traveling with the app, users may accumulate incentive points, which can then be redeemed into cash rewards. Gamifications and challenges are built in to promote public transit commutes, offering an interesting way of participation.
What lessons can other organisations and authorities learn from this project?
The project builds a smart-mobility solution to potentially boost the declining transit ridership in Washington D.C.-Baltimore region and address the congestion challenge faced by many metropolitan areas. With the actual deployment, the experience in Washington D.C. and Baltimore will offer crucial insights for other major cities on how to better manage travel demand and design an effective incentive system to influence people's travel behaviour. The app and backend technology are highly transferable and can be adapted to support the needs of different organisations and authorities.
One immediate adaption of incenTrip is to manage the recurrent and non-recurrent travel demand on subway systems using incentives. Offering incentives during off-peak hours and/or encouraging plan-ahead travel in the app will not only help each traveller save waiting times, but also mitigate the extremely high congestion and the consequent safety issues during peak-hours and holidays in a subway system.
Stay tuned for more interviews with the remaining winners of the UITP Awards!

Health Canada asking for prudence amid EpiPen shortage
Canadian suffering severe allergies are grappling with another critical shortage pharmacies across the country are running out of life-saving epipens Pfizer the only company that made the devices here offered a vague explanation that does little more than infuriate those who rely on the medication ctv's Medical Specialists Davis Favreau has more information tonight on the deepening dilemma these epipens contain a drug that can stop a deadly allergic reaction paulino's Cena have used them twice to rescue her boys Xavier and Lucien they both have many severe food allergies we got to the hospital obviously I still have to healthy happy boys but they need that epinephrine I'm in case there's anything that happens and both boys carry the devices at all times but Pauline is distress Canadian white shortage of these life-saving devices really disturbed by it because this is now I think the third or fourth time in the last year across the country the auto injectors in both formulations are quickly banishing from Pharmacy shelf officials are urging patience not to Panic it's really important that people don't stockpiler for the medications because that's really taking that very needed treatment potentially away from somebody that hit that can eat it epipens maker Pfizer says the shortage is due to a manufacturing issue but offers no further details and says supplies will resume at the end of August but others say the real solution is more companies selling these auto-injectors are vulnerable epinephrine and that is EpiPen we need a second product on the market at a minimum following meanwhile has enough fresh injectors for her children and the allergy free bakery but she wants a better solution I would like to see if I'd like to see the company and maybe give us a better explanation of why this is happening Health Canada as we reported last night so that anyone who doesn't have an EpiPen can call nine-one-one all paramedics carry the medication and they can still use recently expired devices there were studies Lisa that indicate they are still alive more than 2 years past the expiry date like I so that is comforting certainly but not a solution these shortages have been going on since before January is there any plan to resolve it once and for all well health Canada says they are definitely looking it's a problem but they also told us that there are four other companies that are in fact clear to sell their own auto-injectors in Canada but none of them are marketing them in Canada now government can't force the company to sell a product in Canada question is why don't they want to sell it in Canada and this might be something that patience and patient groups might want to ask very good point Davis thanks for this tonightA severe shortage is causing pharmacies across Canada to run out of potentially life-saving EpiPens. Avis Favaro reports on the dilemma.

The Sharks Here in Israel, there's a reality/documentary TV show called "The Sharks".
It's about people who have some kind of a business idea, and are looking for investors.
Each entrepreneur gets a few minutes to present their idea and business plan in front of 4-5 well-known Israeli businessmen, trying to get their support in return for percentages of their project.
One can differentiate the totally bad projects with possibly OK projects, simply on the basis of a proper preparations. Some projects are simply vague ideas that popped up on someone's head, without any business plan of any kind.
Then you have the projects that comes with a detailed business plan, market research, pricing policies and what-not. These are of course the ones that the Sharks (potential investors) show interest in. The interesting bit is that most of the times, instead of asking strictly business related questions, they tend give more importance to the actual usability of the proposed product/service/whatever. They try to get in the head of the potential consumers and look for Achilles' heels from the user's point of view.
Solving consumer problems The point is, that you cannot create a product or service to solve problems that you think that people have. You have to solve actual problems that potential consumers are facing.
Paraphrasing DHH from a presentation lately, "It's not Rocket Surgery". You should simply solve people's problems, otherwise they won't be interested.
self consumer Who is the better consumer than yourself?
Example: There's this person I know, who will sell you baby carriers. They look very simple in first glance, but then you see that it's actually pretty useful - it's adjustable, you can re-use the same carrier in several carrying positions (low, high, front, back), and it's comfortable for parent and baby. The thing is - she didn't wake up one day with a crazy idea, hoping it'd match someone's needs. She made one for herself and her baby, making it better with time, and then thought - 'hey someone else might like it'
Going back to DHH and his presentation, he states there clearly that the whole RubyOnRails thing was simply something he needed for his day job, so it became very useful, as the consumer (himself) was giving him direct feedback during the development process.
Same can be said on many OSS projects, like NHibernate, the whole Castle stack and many more.
I can testify on AspView, which I created to make my day job easier and more fun, as I disliked WebForms and my employer insisted on ASP.NET and C# all around - that was my best shot. I got immediate feedbacks from the consumer (myself and my team members) so it stayed focused on solving consumer needs.
Demonstrate trust in your tools You should be trustworthy. I evangelise the use of good tools, and I name the Castle stack, NHibernate, Rhino Commons, and more as good tools. I can do this whole heartedly since I use these very tools for my day jobs, on paid projects, not only for pet projects.
And if you are not a consumer Take ASP.NET MVC. This project is being internally run by a team of developers, who their day job is to build this tool, not to use it. On the surface it presents a major problem, no consumer feedback.
The way they chose to solve this problem was pretty simple. Expose as much as you can to the public. Push potential users to play with the API, experiment with use cases, build extensions, whatnot. Continuously grab community input, incorporate it in the product, and get new feedback. All that has started from the earliest stages by ScottGu, then Phil Haack. The while team seam to be everywhere, from mailing lists to ALT.NET conferences, getting consumer input and building around it.
The outcome is that they can focus on solving consumer problems, and the progress of improvements is amazing. It got to the point that I have no problem at all with using ASP.NET MVC, even though I'm an active member in MonoRail. Personally I prefer MonoRail, but I really see ASP.NET MVC as a viable option, and recommend it as a possible solution.
Opposite examples Take the Entity Framework. I've been hearing about this beast from 2005. However being able to get the feel of it took way too long. Meanwhile it appear that a lot of stuff has been introduced into it, that might not even be interesting to consumers, while rendering fixing the consumers' problems more difficult.
And as for trusting your own tools - I've heard once that Visual Source Safe was never used internally for development within Microsoft. I also don't really believe that there is a single public major website under Microsoft's umbrella that uses SqlDataSource, heavily customised GridView components and other widely demo-ed Webforms stuff.
Confidence Technologies like Silverlight, ASP.NET MVC, not to mention the more experimental stuff like IronXYZ and F#, find their way into community review, and even to internal production use. Microsoft are voting confidence in these products, so do I.
ALT.Microsoft So as far for the notorious Vote of No Confidence in EF, I never have joined it as it simply make no sense imo. It simply does not interest me enough to even vote. They way I see it, EF belongs next to WebForms, while MVC/IronXYZ/F#/etc are legitimate ALT.NET
Cuz ALT.NET is not about opposing anyone. Definitely not MS - hey these guys brought us the CLR and BCL.
It's also not about being the freedom guerilla fighters fighting the evil Corporate. Not at all.
I think that ALT.NET is a great idea, just like XP (Extreeme Programming), and like XP it has a bad name, as it implies 'niche', 'alternative', 'scary', 'elitist', 'vane'.
It's not.
It's about good tools, built to help make us developers work better, and have more fun during. Parts of the DevDiv are as ALT.NET as it gets.

A meta- analysis is basically a study that has amalgamated all of the relevant research in a specific area, looked at the findings and concluded an overall consensus on a subject/ question. Recently a meta- analysis looked into men with high cholesterol and erectile dysfunction who also took statins. The study found that as well as reducing cholesterol the statins also managed to improve erectile function! With this revelation it is widely thought that peoples adherence to statins may rise (pun intended), meaning patients can reduce their cholesterol, reduce their total risk of heart disease as well as getting a bit more exercise in…if you get my meaning ;)
Busko, M. (2014). As statins boost erectile function, adherence may rise too. Medscape Multispeciality. Retrieved 4th April, 2014, from http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/822730?nlid=53283_2743&src=wnl_edit_dail&uac=208518SR

The Best Jobs in America
Career paths today are vastly different than they were just a generation ago. Many of the "hot" jobs available to those graduating from high school or postsecondary education now weren't even on the radars of the parents of today's graduates.
Glassdoor recently published its list of the 25 Best Jobs in America for 2016. Looking at factors such as the number of job openings, salary, and career opportunities, Glassdoor identified those careers on a strong upward trend.
Some of these jobs might surprise you. Just look at the top 10:
- Data scientist
- Tax manager
- Solutions architect
- Engagement manager
- Mobile developer
- HR manager
- Physician assistant
- Product manager
- Software engineer
- Audit manager
Parents may not thing their children aspire to be the next great data scientist or mobile developer, but based on the data, these are just a taste of some of the career pathways students should better understand. By gaining a keen view on the skills, knowledge, and preparation needed for the careers identified by Glassdoor, a new generation of students can be inspired to obtain and succeed in the leading careers of tomorrow.

Existentialism = "the endeavor to understand man by cutting below the cleavage between subject and object which has bedeviled Western thought and science since shortly after the Renaissance" (49).
"Truth exists only as the individual himself produces it in action" (Kierkegaard, qtd. 49).
Anxiety as ontological.
Being vs. nonbeing.
das Mann = conformist masses neglecting their being.
Umwelt = roughly natural environment, also person's past as influence.
Mitwelt = person-to-person relationships
Eigenwelt = innerworld; a "for-me-ness"
Technique follows understanding.
Six implications for therapy (153ff.):
- The variability of techniques among existential therapists
- Psychological dynamisms always take their meaning from the existential situation of the patient's own, immediate life; are ontological
- Presence; here cf. Rogers's notion of care
- Therapy will attempt to "analyze out" the ways of behaving which destroy presence
- The aim of therapy is that the patient experience his existence as real; asks, "Where are you?"
- Commitment; decision precedes knowledge; points out fragility of existence and how person may be denying existence in the moment with actions

Written by Matt D'Aquino, a multiple Australian and Oceania Champion and a 2008 Beijing Judo Olympian. He has been studying Judo for over 23 years. He is a 3rd Degree Black belt and a black belt in BJJ. Check out his excellent website BeyondGrappling.com
Kettlebells have been around for over 100 years but unfortunately I still see them being under utilized in gyms around the world. Often we see people lining up to use the treadmills or Cross trainers while dust gathers on the kettlebells sitting quietly in the corner. As a strength and conditioning coach I encourage all my grapplers to use kettlebells on a regular basis because they are a great way to increase full body strength and power as well as develop your gas tank. They are also a great way to get a heck of a good workout in a short amount of time.
This workout is titled the 300 workout, simply because you complete 300 repetitions of various kettlebell movements. The great thing about this workout is you can scale it to suit your current fitness levels. So if you have never done it before start off with a lighter kettlebell and as you get fitter and stronger increase the weight of the kettlebell OR complete the workout with two kettlebells instead of one.
Each movement in this workout contains a skill that each and every grappler needs. For example swings develop hip and glute power which is great for single leg stability and lower body power, sprawls obviously help you defend takedowns, squats increase leg strength and the clean and press will increase your grip and shoulder strength – which is perfect for when you are doing Judo and BJJ.
The 300 Rep Workout includes:
Kettlebell swings 50 each hand (or 100 straight if you are using 2 kb's)
KB squat 50
Sprawls 50
Clean and press 50 each hand (or 100 straight if you are using 2 kb's)
KB swing
Hold a kettlebell in your hand and swing it back between your legs. When the kettlebell swings back (due to momentum) drive it upwards using your legs, glutes and hips. Use enough power so the kettlebell swings to about eye height, Control the kettlebell back down between you legs to complete another repetition. For a more advanced version use 2 kettlebells. If this is too easy you can perform a single hand kettlebell swing OR peform the same movement with a kettlebell in each hand.
Reps: 50 each hand (or 100 straight if you have 2 kettlebells)
KB Squat
Hold a kettlebell in what we call the 'rack position.' Keep your abs tight as you perform a squat. Squat as low as you can before retuning to the start position. If the squat gets hard you can either hold it with 2 hands in front of you or let it go completely. If you are after a harder squat then you can perform overhead squats as well.
Reps: 50
Sprawling is a very important skill for MMA fighters. To start out simply bend at the waist and visualize your opponent shooting for a double leg. When they shoot simply place your hands on the ground and arrive your hips into the floor. Be sure to keep your head up. Jump back up to your feet and perform another
Reps: 50
Clean and press
Hold your kettlebell in one hand and let it hang in between your legs. Make sure you palms are facing towards you. Drive up with your legs, shrug your shoulder and pull the kettlebell up to the 'rack' position. During this movement the kettlebell will swing up and over your hand and land sitting on the back of your wrist. Keep your abs tight, slightly bend your knees and begin pressing the kettlebell above your head.
Once you reach the top position return the kettlebell back down to your shoulder and repeat for 50 repetition. When you start to fatigue drive the kettlebell from shoulder height to the top by using your legs opposed to your shoulders.
Reps: 50 each hand (or 100 straight if you have 2 kettlebells)

Congratulations Paulo Coelho, today The Alchemist three hundred and thirty-five continuous weeks in New York Times best-seller list. That is an amazing six years and five months. And it is at No 3.
Not bad for a book that was first published twenty six years ago.

So. What lessons have been learned you ask? Well, many.
Go slow. Read the fine print. Be thorough. Make sure you understand the guidelines given, and stick to them in your submission. Take more time to think about your idea/s and help "flesh" them out. Do NOT put it off to the last-minute. (I've always been a last-minute, under pressure type of girl. High school assignments were usually done the night before they were due to be submitted.)
You may have guessed by now that I didn't win the trip to Africa to take photos. As bummed as I am, (it would have been AWESOME!) I am grateful for the inspiring experience and all of the lessons I have been faced with. I say faced with, because I obviously haven't learned them yet. But I am. And I will continue to do so.
The main reason I think I messed up was because I chose to do a montage of images for 3 of the 5 photos required in the photo essay. Also, I could have taken better images, more suitable to the brief. But I didn't. I left it to the last-minute, then rushed through it so I would have something to upload by the deadline. (That's the problem with deadlines – if it was a personal ongoing project I would be able to chop and change and allow it to be a whole lot more of an organic process. But it wasn't. Get over it.)
The positives: I have learned about myself. More about myself than previously known. I am going to work on these things. I have started a blog. Regular writing that's not just for my eyes only. I have inspired myself and piqued my own curiosity (and hopefully the curiosity of others.) I have gained confidence in the knowledge that if you want to do something you just have to do it. One step at a time. In the direction of your heart. Be real with yourself and follow your dreams.

With a quality VIP interior and a great history of service, this Puma reflects the high standards of maintenance and presentation that the Japanese are so well known for.
Oceania Aviation is preparing to re-purpose this AS332L into a utility lifting configuration. With a clean 10,000 lbs on the hook, standard category type certificate and superb factory support - the Super Puma is proving to be a direct competitor for the UH60 restricted category Blackhawks. This aircraft has had an easy life flying the Emperor and cabinet of Japan for its entire life until superseded by an H225 in 2006. Fresh out of inspection, it was sent to hibernate and finally sold over a decade later. The aircraft condition is impressive and these aircraft have decades of useful life left in them. Parts and support are everywhere and surprisingly affordable. They are type certified on your register, not on the restricted category and in the utility configuration these ships pull up to 4 tonnes on the hook.

Tomatoes outgrew the youghurt beakers. Now I've pottet the up in plastic pots in an ordinary plantbag mixture. I've placed them in a box, to be able to move them in a hurry. As days in the greenhouse gets warmer, they will spend daytime out there. In around 14 days the need repotting again. For that I keep small black polythene bags (dog owners know them). The bags are flexible, allowing the tomatoes to stay together in the box a little longer.
I have already written a bit about my potato-leaved tomato. It still looks like a potato plant, look for yourself. It has a lovely smell of tomato.

28th Annual Conference
April 16 – 18, 2021
Hyatt Regency Columbus
Columbus, Ohio
Seeing Asia:
Visualizing, Envisioning, Reflecting
The 2021 ASIANetwork Conference theme focuses on the visual in scholarship, pedagogy, and artistic expression in and about Asia, and on representations of Asia and Asians in various geographic and historical contexts. The physical and human landscapes of Asia have inspired countless depictions in forms such as objects and texts, and also portrayals in photography, cartography, and scientific data, many of which lend themselves to digital reproduction, dissemination, and analysis. Regional traditions in art and design have influenced aesthetics across Asia and outside of Asia. Today, as in the past, the peoples of Asia and the Asian diasporas strive to see and be seen in their political and cultural distinctiveness. In light of this complex, heterogeneous, fluid imagery, Asianists employ numerous disciplinary and interdisciplinary lenses in their work. Therefore, the conference program committee welcomes panel, paper, and student poster proposals that engage with these notions. Potential areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Official and popular depictions of Asian subjects and experiences
- Mapping and measuring of environments, resources, and populations
- Perspectives on Asian economics, politics, and society
- Spectacle and the spectacular in Asian literary and visual arts
- Views, embodiments, and portrayals of Asian identities
- Exhibitions, architecture, performance, design, social media, traditional crafts
- Cultural encounters within Asia and between Asia and the world

While doing some tidying on my PC i found two lots of iplayer folders. One was clearly old (2010 files). So I viewed all my current videos (in case) and un-installed iplayer. This folder still stayed.
I deleted the folder, ran ccleaner and restarted.
This folder is still present, my HD free space has not changed.
When I search iplayer, i still find these files, however, if i choose open file location, they are not there.
This is a lot of space I can do with recovering. Does anyone have any advice/help/pointers?

But kept it hidden.
Why is it so hard to rule?
Because people are so clever.
Rulers who try to use cleverness
Cheat the country.
Those who rule without cleverness
Are a blessing to the land.
These are the two alternatives.
Understanding these is Primal Virtue.
Primal Virtue is deep and far.
It leads all things back
Toward the great oneness.
In ancient times,
leaders who were right with Tao
didn't teach everybody
how to become enlightened.
They kept people's lives simple.
People who know too much
can't be taught anything.
Leaders who try to be clever
always screw things up.
Leaders who keep things simple
always make things right.
If you get that,
you'll understand
the mysterious power of Tao.
That kind of power is so deep,
so extensive,
it penetrates into every level of existence.
The first version is from the Fortune files. The second version is the Beatrice Tao.

When working on the next version of a piece of software, just getting version 2 to do half the things version 1 did is a major milestone, because programs have so much "foundation" code that has to be working in order for the useful code to actual perform. Foundation code works much like the concrete foundation of a house, you need to have the foundation in order to build the house, but no one says, "I have a house with a foundation," because the foundation is taken for granted.
Most foundation code consists of mundane activities such as reading and writing files from the hard drive. Foundation code tends to be a little messy because it has to check for all kind of possible errors like if the hard drive is full or if a file doesn't exist. Foundation code writing isn't much fun, because it doesn't directly impact the user. Features of a program that make it attractive to users, like spell check, use a lot of foundation code even though the user is never aware of it.

- These nearly invisible deficiencies can stop your heart from beating
- 98% of us don't get enough of this heart-regulating nutrient
- The other forgotten mineral that can re-energize your heart
The way we still treat chronic heart disease these days is very short-sighted. It zeroes in on certain short term acute preventive measures that usually involve dangerous prescription drugs to lower cholesterol, thin the blood, control blood pressure and so on.
But if you read last Wednesday's issue Advanced Natural Medicine, you discovered that low levels of calcium could potentially lead to sudden cardiac arrest.
And guess what?
You can take all the heart-protective drugs your doctor prescribes. But unless you correct that underlying calcium deficiency, those meds won't do a thing to save your heart – or your life.
So today I would like to talk about two more minerals that don't get a lot of news these days.
NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL OF MEDICINE Study
Proves You Can Restore 10 To 20 Years of Aging
Research suggests that low levels of HGH could trigger many of the signs we associate with aging.
The very best way to boost your natural HGH levels is by taking natural HGH releasers. These nutrients include specific vitamins, antioxidants and amino-acids that activate the pituitary gland to support production of HGH naturally.
They're taken before bedtime, because they help you gently to sleep and because sleep is when growth hormone is primarily secreted.
Click here for your golden opportunity to enjoy a fuller, more active life. A life where you can look at yourself in the mirror and smile, restore passionate performance, and make your joints and muscles feel flexible and years younger!
They're boring. Some experts even call them "orphan" nutrients. That's because they've practically been forgotten when it comes to maintaining a steady heartbeat and healthy cardiovascular system.
However, that doesn't mean they aren't vital to your heart health, especially if you're on common diuretic medication or haven't yet brought real whole food into your life.
98% of Us Don't Get Enough of this Heart-Regulating Nutrient
Potassium works together with calcium and magnesium to "charge up" the electrical tissue in your body. Without that "charge", your heart muscle wouldn't be able to contract or hold a steady beat.
In other words, healthy potassium levels are absolutely necessary to regulate heart contractions.
But as crazy as it might sound, latest estimates indicate that more than 98% of U.S. adults aren't getting enough potassium each day. Thus, it stands to reason that almost everyone here in the U.S. is deficient of this heart-healthy mineral.
This is not a good thing.
If you're one of the 98% running low on this mineral, it can place you squarely at risk of a potentially fatal heart arrhythmia. Even worse, potassium deficiency can increase your chances of a cardiovascular-related death by up to 10 times.
This Nutrient is 400% More Powerful than Resveratrol!
Support a Healthy Heart, Blood Pressure,
Cholesterol, Fat-Burning, and More!
New research supported by the National Institutes of Health revealed a chemical flaw in this near-miraculous nutrient. Human studies show we just can't absorb it. No matter how much you take...you may as well be flushing it down the toilet!
But the benefits of resveratrol – and the amazing promise of genetic rewriting – were too incredible to ignore. That's why researchers kept looking… until they found a natural resveratrol "cousin."
- 400% BETTER absorbed than resveratrol
- Infuses your body with energy and superior anti-aging benefits
- Supports healthy cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugar.
- Fights inflammation
- Gives you a metabolic edge
- Switches on "life extension" genes
- It could even make you smarter!
Use it today to help protect your heart. Discover how it can help you become slimmer and more vital...and bring your cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugar under control naturally.
Click HERE and learn how to turn ON your vitality genes and maximize support for a healthy heart, blood pressure, cholesterol, fat-burning, memory, and more!
Potassium also has other important roles in your cardiovascular health. It not only helps keep your blood pressure at normal levels. We've also just learned that it can help prevent hardening of the arteries. These are both vitally important to your cardiovascular health.
I don't recommend supplementing with potassium unless you are advised to do so by your physician (take the blood test) since too much potassium can be as dangerous as too little. However, getting more of it in your food is a no-brainer.
It's not hard. Just eat more beans, avocado, prunes, (yes I know Aunt Mollie was right) and artichoke. Mangoes, sweet potatoes and bananas are also good choices.
The Other Forgotten Mineral that can Re-Energize Your Heart
Depending on which statistics you look at, somewhere between 50% and 75% of Americans are running low on magnesium. And that's a shame.
Magnesium(Mg) is responsible for over 300 biochemical reactions in your body. One example: Our primary energy source ATP has to bind with magnesium ions in order to work. To be biologically active in say cardiac muscle fibers and everywhere else in the body we must form Mg-ATP. So one of its most critical roles is when it comes to maintaining a normal heart function.
When magnesium levels are low, you're more likely to experience irregular heart beat, higher blood pressure and accelerated plaque build up. A magnesium deficiency could even increase your risk of sudden cardiac death by more than 50%.
Well, here's the thing. Unless you enjoy eating a lot of nuts, seeds, beans and green veggies, your magnesium levels are probably below par.
On the other hand, it's easy enough to boost your levels with a magnesium supplement.
I generally recommend 5 mg of magnesium per pound of body weight. Take it in divided doses throughout the day. Look for ones that end in "ate"… as in glycinate, threonate, malate, citrate and so forth. I like to take combinations of these in the same supplement or rotate 2 or 3 different ones throughout the month. While the glycinate may be the most absorbable for many people, citrate is usually preferred by the sluggish bowel movers amongst us.
Don't deprive yourself of these life-sustaining minerals that can help reduce your chances of a heart-related health issue that could send you to early death. Add these minerals to your next blood tests; serum potassium and calcium and red blood cell magnesium After all… a healthy heart equates to a long and healthy life.

The end of summer has a natural melancholy about it, nostalgia seems to like the golden light of sunset and my pumpkin-spice-swilling-compadres seem always ready for the next consumer fix…ho-ho-hold off on the winter holidays please. I'm still trying to sip my September dream of October.
I missed day-one of the Pumpkin Spice season at Starbucks, but you can bet your syrupy sweet, sugary ass that I made it there on the second day. We are an odd bunch, craving fall when it's still peach season.
Does pumpkin spice belong here before the kids go back to school? Who's to say. I mean, it was a marketing campaign that changed the face of how we end our summers, but maybe we can come up with some new ideas;
Peach tea lattes ( I know, it's been done, but they are damn yummy), please don't leave me plum lemonade, late summer boo-hoo berry or harvest melancholy melon???
Perhaps is was Toronto's above average rain fall and below average temperatures that fooled me into thinking our season had to be longer, or that September would bring with her some sunshine and dry heat.
For a gal who loves her some festive, pumpkin-spice lattes, I wasn't prepared this year. Nor was I prepared to walk into a shop yesterday and find myself surrounded by Christmas decor, the Thanksgiving and Hallowe'en stock already having been pushed to a corner.
Late summer is a mix of hanging on to the carefree days of summer, new beginnings and connecting to our ancient rituals around the harvest.
Every year, my middle-aged mom social media feed is awash with ladies celebrating the return of the syrupy-sweet-caffeine-laden coffee that is our generation's valium. And every year, I contribute to the madness. I covet no-whip-half-sweet-non-fat-pumpkin-spice-lattes. It's like a small booby-prize for growing older but not up.

Build the Business of Your Dreams
By Brett Kelly, on Sunday, May 18th, 2008
There are times in life when you decide "enough is enough". This past week was one of those times.
I get a fair amount of email. Not as much as some, but it's a pretty steady stream. Sometimes, those messages are from well-wishing friends who thought I might enjoy an inspirational message from an unknown source. Messages like these are almost always sent to a whole pantload of people. And all of our email addresses are nicely collected in the 'To' field, where every recipient now has access to my email address.
This is, frankly, infuriating. So much so that I decided to take some (arguably passive) action. I created a website where I can send people who do this.
Humbly, I give you bccplease.com. The idea is pretty self-explanatory, when you send an email to a million people, put their email addresses in the 'BCC' field instead of the 'To' field.
I hope you can all find some use for it, feel free to direct any email abusers you encounter on over for some tough love.
You'll love getting free and freeing updates when we post new articles.

#17 The Wedding Day Timeline - Part 1 of 3
January 25th, 2017
26 mins 58 secs
About this Episode
Big Takeaways
Spreadsheets. Live them, love them. Don't fight them! We break down our basic techniques for drafting your initial wedding day timeline - the rows, the columns, the hints and tricks. Rome wasn't built in a day, people! The Wedding Day Timeline takes time...little by little, it all comes together....in a spreadsheet. :)
Who, what, when, where...getting all this info into a timeline makes it really easy for you to answer questions that your vendors will ask you the weeks leading up to the wedding. You've already done the work - now you can systematically pass it on.
The first thing to input into your timeline is the basic MAIN EVENTS - these frame out the entire thing, and you plug everything else in around these events. Ceremony, Cocktail Hour, Reception, Last Dance. Boom.
You will put together a vendor team and they should be able to help you create this timeline. If you have any questions about how long something usually takes, or what a 'typical' order is - ask your vendors.
Enter in arrival times as you figure them out. When/where is the wedding party arriving? The parents? Guests? Vendor arrival times will probably be entered later in the planning process, as you work out the details with them. Sometimes the exact times for vendors aren't set in stone until a few weeks before the wedding.

"I'll be honest. As I get older, I have been known to throw out a 1000 piece puzzle on the dining room table." - Michelle. "I can't not believe you do puzzles!" - Christy
"You got this. You can handle this. Keep it simple. On wedding days, people tend to pull it together. Everyone is working for the greater good on the wedding day and that is YOU and your fiance and your giant life event. Weddings magically come together." - Christy and her timeline pep talk
