ATTO Technology Ships High Performance SAS and
Next Generation RAID Controllers Offer Superior Performance and Flexibility
Macworld Expo, San Francisco, CA . ATTO Technology, Inc., a global leader of storage connectivity and infrastructure solutions for data-intensive computing environments, today announced the general availability of its new line of FastStream Storage Controller Appliances. ATTO FastStream Storage Controllers are scalable appliances which deliver up to 1200 Megabytes per second access to data with parity RAID protection. The FastStream is well suited for applications in DVA and IT infrastructures including 4K and 2K digital film production, high-definition video post-production, digital prepress, disk-to-disk backup, audio production and transaction-based environments. The FastStream SC 7500 uses a 4-Gb Fibre Channel interface for the host connection and a 3-Gb SAS interface for drive connectivity. The FastStream SC 7700 uses a 4-Gb Fibre Channel interface for both the host and drive connections.
We designed the 7000 series with our customers needs in mind, said Edward Tierney, director of marketing for ATTO Technology. Both performance and workgroup size were important factors considered when designing the FastStream line. By providing robust data protection, ample performance for demanding editing needs and connectivity options for small to medium workgroups, FastStream helps to satisfy production and post-production demands.
The FastStream product line is now available in the United States via Avnet and Rorke Data. Availability in Canada is provided through Bell Microproducts and international availability is provided by ATTOs Global Alliance Partners.
About FastStream
Featuring a one-button setup wizard that dramatically simplifies installation and configuration for video, audio, database and IT environments, FastStream SC 7000 series appliances are JBOD, DVRAID and RAID 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, 10, 40, 50 and 60 configurable. Pools of storage can be managed from a central location providing users the ability to add storage as needed. Existing RAID volumes can be expanded, mirrors added or RAID levels changed dynamically while keeping all data intact. FastStream Storage appliances also add advanced intelligence features such as active notifications via phone home email alerts, real-time performance metrics, N-way mirroring, global hot spares and more. Management is simple with the built-in ATTO ExpressNAV storage manager. With an intuitive point-and-click interface, ExpressNAV allows for remote configuration, management and diagnostics.

As alluring as sun-soaked hardwood, picture windows, fireplaces, and sprawling layouts can be, there is no denying that efficiency is not the strong suit of these beauties. It doesn't make you love them any less, but it just might leave you wondering what you can do about it.
Window replacements and large-scale updates are wise investments, but for the meantime, we have a few simpler tips to help you weather the winter and improve your home efficiency.
What Can You Do To Boost Your Home Efficiency?
#1 Consider Your Home's Envelope
Before you swap out appliances and fixtures, start with an analysis of the heavy hitters that make or break your home's efficiency: attic, walls, windows, and doors. Adding insulation to your attic, for example, can drastically improve how well heat is retained within your home.
You might consider contacting a local professional for an energy audit. They can help you pinpoint the weakest of your weak points, allowing you to better formulate your long-term plan.
Estimate the cost of home remodel for free
#2 Slow Drafts Around Your Windows and Doors
While replacement with more efficient, updated models is always ideal, we get that sometimes now just isn't the time. With that said, we suggest investing in a draft stopper to block cold air that creeps underneath your door. You can make one yourself, or you can purchase one online or at any home supply/improvement store.
Replacing the weathstripping on exterior doors can also help substantially.
If your windows are giving you trouble, here are a few ideas:
- Use rope caulk to fill any cracked areas
- Consider plastic shrink wrap kits to insulate your window with a draft-preventing pocket of air
- Swap your curtains out for heavy draperies designed to better insulate your windows. This is a tried and true technique!
MORE: The Basics of Energy Efficient Windows.
#3 Service Your Furnace
It may not be a replacement for a high-efficiency model, but a cleaned and serviced heating system will help you get the very most out of what you have. Your technician also can help you nip any budding issues early on, maximizing the lifespan of your furnace as well.
#4 Keep Your Fireplace Damper Closed
Do you occasionally use your fireplace? If so, be sure you close your damper when it's not in use. And, we hate to say it, but despite the cozy factor, your fireplace is really not an efficient way to heat a room. We suggest keeping fires to a minimum!
Unless it would harm the historic integrity of your home, you also may benefit from installing glass doors to further seal your fireplace when it's not being used.
Make a Plan for Home Improvement!
The very best thing you can do for your wallet and your home is to make an actionable plan for valuable upgrades. Talk with a home improvement professional who understands the unique needs and characteristics of older or historic homes, and who can develop creative solutions to reach your goals. Beyond keeping you warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, thoughtful upgrades add undeniable value to your home that will certainly offer a return over time.

People and Goods on the Move
Innovative developments will influence the travel behaviour of people, vehicles and goods in the future. Just think of the technological developments in the field of electrically powered transport, autonomous transport, and the development of smart cities, including all attendant data. Or what about the debate on climate change, energy transition, and adaptive and liveable cities – all affecting the domain of spatial planning. NHTV seeks to prepare for these developments with its educational offerings. In the NHTV-wide research line of People and Goods on the Move, we conduct research (including applied research) into the effects of these developments, together with business, government and institutions (including knowledge institutions).
Higher efficiency in business processes
Customer experiences are crucial nowadays, from a traffic-related, spatial, tourism as well as logistics perspective. In People and Goods on the Move, we connect NHTV's unique knowledge in the field of hospitality, experiences and gaming with the entire chain of goods and people. We do so by carrying out state-of-the-art and independent research into innovations in leading developments in the playing field. In this process, we use innovative tools, such as virtual or augmented reality for the purpose of simulating and visualising optimal solutions or future situations. Our partners obviously benefit from the advantages. The knowledge obtained through our collaborative ventures leads to more efficient and effective business processes. Our joint research activities will save you time and money. Additionally, the research projects ensure involvement of our students in leading developments in our discipline, as a result of which the students' knowledge ties in with industry needs.
Would you like to know more about the cooperation possibilities?

A pavement harvesting the kinetic energy produced by pedestrians has launched near London's Oxford Street, one of Europe's busiest shopping districts.
Pavegen, the company behind the smart pavement, has installed a 10-square metre area, which harvests energy to power lighting and ambient bird sounds, while collecting data on the energy produced.
The energy-harvesting walkway will also scan bluetooth-enabled phones, interacting with apps to reward users for their steps on the pavement with discounts, vouchers and education resources.
The 'Pavegen' is part of an installation showcasing the latest in sustainable technologies — bringing together energy harvesting, data collection and pollution reduction.
Bird Street will also soon feature an Airlabs' ClearAir bench, which will remove nitrogen dioxide to create a zone of cleaner air. The street will also feature Airlite paint, which purifies the air, removing nitrogen dioxide. Oxford Street had the world's worst levels of the gas in 2013.
With the integration of these innovative technologies, Bird Street demonstrates potential ways to put a dent in emissions in busy urban environments.

The News-Herald (http://www.news-herald.com)
Saturday, May 12, 2018
Ever since the Prebis Memorial Classic softball tournament, something has been bothering me.
Specifically, those who can't just go to their child's game and enjoy what is happening in front of them.
Instead, these parents take it upon themselves to yell instructions to the players. They undermine what the coaches have been instilling in the players all season. They, simply put, overstep their bounds.
And, before I start getting the hate mail, please let me be clear. Not all parents are like this. It's a minority of parents who do this.
Unfortunately, as is the case these days, it's the vocal minority that gets all of the attention for simply being the loudest.
Sometimes this type of parent can be harmless. The players ignore them and listen to their coach.
There are a few instances from the Prebis, though, where the parents were listened to and the team was hurt as a result.
The most obvious one that I saw was when a coach shifted the outfield left, but a parent decided to yell — and this is the exact quote, not a paraphrase — "Don't listen. This girl can only hit to right. Move that way."
Anyone care to guess what happened next?
The outfield shifted, the third base coach smiled and signaled to the batter, who promptly hit the first pitch she saw to left for a two-RBI double.
When that hit occurred, it had been a tie game. And that the ball was hit directly where the left fielder had been before the meddling parent decided to overstep.
But that is just one example.
Another one is when a parent was vocally insulting their team's pitcher. I'm sure the parent assumed they were being quiet enough that no one heard them. Wrong. Because I heard.
Now, it's not my place to say something to the parent in the moment, but I really hope that they are reading this right now. That they know they had been heard. Because if I heard, I can only imagine how many other people heard — and potentially how many players heard — too.
So, I would like to implore parents: Just enjoy the game.
For a lot of you, the four high school years will be the last time you will get to watch your child play competitively.
For a few of you, the opportunity to watch your child play in college is going to happen. But, these four high school years might be the last time that your child actually enjoys playing the game.
Enjoy this time. Cherish this time. Make memories.
Twenty years from now, you don't want your only memories of watching your child play to be ones where you can't remember what happened because you were too busy coaching. Or, even worse, memories where your child is embarrassed because they had "that parent" who no one wanted at the games.
Let the coaches coach. Let the players play.
And parents, be the fans. Be the support system that the players need to make it through a long season. Be the encouragement that they need when in a slump. Be the first one to high-five them after a good game, and hug them when the season comes to an end.
After all, you've been their support their entire lives. Sports should be no different.

SOURCE: Metalico, Inc.
February 04, 2015 08:30 ET
CRANFORD, NJ--(Marketwired - Feb 4, 2015) - Metalico, Inc. (NYSE MKT: MEA) has announced that it has adopted a Stockholder Rights Plan to enhance the interests of the Company's shareholders.
Metalico's Board of Directors declared a dividend of one right on each outstanding share of Metalico's common stock to implement the Rights Plan. The Plan is designed to assure that all of the Company's stockholders receive fair and equal treatment in the event of any proposed takeover of the Company and to guard against tactics to gain control of the Company without paying all stockholders a premium for that control.
The Rights Plan is not intended to deter offers that are fair and otherwise in the best interests of the Company's stockholders. The Plan will not prevent a takeover, but should encourage any individual or group seeking to acquire the Company to negotiate with its Board of Directors.
Pursuant to the Rights Plan, the Company is issuing one preferred share purchase right for each outstanding share of common stock at the close of business on February 17, 2015. Initially, the rights will not be exercisable and will trade with the Company's shares of common stock.
Under the Rights Plan, the rights will generally become exercisable only if a person or group acquires beneficial ownership of 15% or more of Metalico's common stock in a transaction not approved by the Board of Directors. In that situation, each holder of a right (other than the acquiring person, whose rights will become null and void and will not be exercisable) will be entitled to purchase, at the then-current purchase price as defined in the Rights Plan, additional shares of common stock having a value of twice the purchase price of the right. In addition, if Metalico is acquired in a merger or other business combination after an unapproved party acquires more than 15% of Metalico's common stock, each holder of a right would be entitled to purchase, at the then-current purchase price under the Plan, shares of the acquiring company's stock having a value of twice the purchase price of the right.
Metalico's Board of Directors may redeem the rights for a nominal amount at any time before an event that causes the rights to become exercisable. The Rights Plan is scheduled to expire February 3, 2016.
Metalico has filed a Form 8-K and will file a Form 8-A with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission containing additional information regarding the terms and conditions of the Rights Plan. The stockholders of Metalico will also receive information regarding the Rights Plan.
About Metalico
Metalico, Inc. is a holding company with operations in ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metal recycling. The Company operates recycling facilities in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, New Jersey, Texas, and Mississippi. Metalico's common stock is traded on the NYSE MKT under the symbol MEA.

The group first surfaced as the Jeff Ballard Trio in 2000 on one track of the anthology "Originations", curated by Chick Corea (Ballard was Chick's drummer at the time) and became Fly with the release of their first album, on Savoy, in 2004. Association between the players however goes back much further. Grenadier and Ballard played music together as teenagers in California in the early 1980s and subsequently gigged together often. They both migrated to the US's East coast in 1990 where they met Turner, and the three musicians have played in diverse permutations and contexts since then.
In Fly, Turner, Grenadier and Ballard all write material. Mark Turner: "Sometimes it's the saxophone carrying the melody. Other times it's the bass or drums. We spread out the frontline duties among us." "Sky & Country" features three Ballard tunes, four by Turner, and two by Grenadier.
Mark Turner was born in Fairborn, Ohio in 1965, and moved with his family to California when he was four. He started playing clarinet at nine then later switched to alto, then tenor as a teenager. He studied art at Long Beach State and California College of Arts and Crafts, transferring to Berklee College of Music, and graduating in 1990. Since moving to New York he has worked and recorded with musicians including Kurt Rosenwinkel, Dave Holland, Paul Motian, Brad Mehldau, John Patitucci, Dave Douglas, Billy Hart, Lee Konitz and James Moody. Turner is on dozens of recordings as a sideman as well as five of his own recordings ("Yam Yam" on Criss Cross, "Mark Turner", "In This World", "Ballad Session" and "Dharma Days" on Warner Brothers). Both Turner and Larry Grenadier appeared on Enrico Rava's "New York Days" album on ECM.
Turner's elegant, abstract and thoughtful playing has been much remarked on by his contemporaries. Brad Meldau has noted that Mark "doesn't court the theatrics associated with his instrument ... (He is) playing with a direct candor usually reserved for older players." And the older players, too, have been taking note. Lee Konitz (in the book "Conversations on the Improviser's Art"): "I think Mark is a very serious contender. He's really mastered the altissimo register of his instrument. That's quite rare among tenor players ... He's really playing lines up there as Warne Marsh could do – and Mark uses that register much more than Warne did."
Larry Grenadier was born in San Francisco in 1966. He began playing bass when he was 11, and as a teenager worked in the Bay area with Joe Henderson, Stan Getz, Bobby Hutcherson among many others.
He graduated from Stanford University in 1989 with a degree in English Literature. After playing with Gary Burton's band in 1990, he moved to New York City and played in the groups of Betty Carter, Joshua Redman, Danilo Perez, Tom Harrell, Joe Henderson, John Scofield, Pat Metheny, Paul Motian, Charles Lloyd and Brad Mehldau and recorded dozens of albums. Previous ECM credits include the above-mentioned Rava disc and three albums with Charles Lloyd: "The Water Is Wide", "Hyperion With Higgins" and "Lift Every Voice". Enrico Rava recently described Larry's playing as "present and focused in every moment", and this is true too of the quite different demands of Fly where bass and sax frequently move in complementary orbits, developing ideas independently and interdependently.
Drummer/percussionist Jeff Ballard was born in Southern California in 1963 and grew up in Santa Cruz, where he began playing drums at age 14. He toured with Ray Charles from 1988 through 1990. Jeff moved to New York in 1990, and since then has played and/or recorded with Lou Donaldson, Chick Corea, Buddy Montgomery, Mike Stern, Danilo Perez, Pat Metheny, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Joshua Redman, Enrico Rava and very many others. Recent recordings include the Brad Mehldau Trio's "Live" , "Metheny/ Mehldau" and Joshua Redman's "Momentum". "Sky & Country" is Ballard's first ECM recording.
In interviews Ballard frequently speaks of drawing influence from the widest range of stylistic sources, acknowledging jazz masters from Joe Morello to Tony Williams but also citing the inspiration of South American, Afro-Cuban, Middle-Eastern and African drumming, and rhythms from everywhere...

Twitter Unveils Objective-Based Ad Campaigns
The social platform says its new tools will allow advertisers to select objectives and see recommended formats, as well as only pay for actions aligned to their objectives.
The social platform says its new tools will allow advertisers to select objectives and see recommended formats, as well as only pay for actions aligned to their objectives.
Piggybacking on Twitter Ads, which allow advertisers to reach consumers at specific times, Twitter will soon add objective-based campaigns.
The new campaign aims to simplify things for marketers.
Users will start by setting a goal, be it adding new followers, driving app downloads or directing people to their website. From there, a template will ask users to enter text and a picture and choose a call to action; a targeting method, such as keywords or tailored audience; and some keywords. Setting a budget is the final step.
Twitter will charge users for their chosen actions. For example, users with app-based campaigns will pay on a per-click basis when consumers download the app.
The new functionality also has reporting tools, which show users the metrics behind conversions and give them glimpses into how well their advertising efforts do.
Earlier this summer, social media management system Hootsuite found that at one-third of the cost, Twitter Ads are cheaper than other paid channels. The updated Twitter Ads are designed to provide more guidance to users, particularly those who may not be as marketing-savvy. To that end, objective-based campaigns were tested in alpha on small and medium-sized businesses.
"The entire process — from targeting, creative creation to tracking analytics and reporting — is much improved and has helped deliver extremely strong results for our initiatives," Pierce Marchant, an marketing specialist at 3D design software company Autodesk, says in a blog post.
Objective-based campaigns will be rolled out to all users in a few months.

The Science of Walking Comfort
1300 788 119
Your cart is empty
Pain in the ball of the foot is the second most common foot complaint (after heel pain) in Australia. The medical term for this condition is "Metatarsalgia". Ball of foot pain is very common in women who wear tight fashion shoes with a high or medium heel, but it can also occur when wearing regular, flat shoes. Equally, many men suffer from this foot condition, often a result of being on their feet for long hours in work shoes or boots.
Fortunately, this is a condition that can be treated. With the right Footlogics orthotics, that painful burning sensation in the balls of your feet will get better, and allow you to wear your high heels, enjoy your run, or simply do your job pain-free once again!
Metatarsalgia is often described by sufferers as a sharp or burning pain under the balls of the feet. Sometimes pain is present in the area around the second, third or fourth toes. The pain gets worse when you stand, walk or run and improves with resting. Some people have a feeling that there is a pebble in their shoe. Most sufferers report that walking barefoot is often too painful.
Wearing (high) heels or work boots without much cushioning for long periods often leads to painful, burning balls of the foot. How long is long? For some this pain can be experienced from within seconds of putting on their shoes.
When wearing high heels, about 70-80% of your body weight is shifted forward, onto the balls of your feet. When this happens, the metatarsals (forefoot bones) drop and the surrounding ligaments weaken. The entire forefoot structure will collapse, in turn leading to excess pressure and friction under the ball of the foot thus resulting in 'Hot Feet'.
There are a number of causes for this type of foot pain in regular, flat shoes: for example, running for sport, or walking long distances. Standing for long periods of time in hard shoes and boots can cause ball of foot pain. This condition is therefore quite common in people employed with the police, military, security, farming, teaching, tradesmen etc. Being overweight can also play a role, as this places excessive pressure on the feet.
Many outside influences can also contribute to the condition. Biomechanical research has shown that the most common cause for Metatarsalgia is a condition called excessive pronation or over-pronation. This is the collapsing of the arches and rolling inwards of the ankle
To understand the problem of over-pronation, let's first take a look at the anatomy of the human foot...
Our feet consist of 26 bones, held together through a web of muscles and ligaments. The foot is not flat on the ground but is held up in the middle forming two arches: the Longitudinal arch (or instep) running along the foot from the heel to the toes and the Transverse arch which runs across the foot.
Five metatarsal bones run from the middle of the foot to your toe joints. Over-pronation means the Longtudinal arch collapses and the ankle joint rolls inwards, every time the foot lands on the ground. A common side-effect of over-pronation is excess pressure on the metatarsals, which in turn leads to lowering (or collapsing) of the Transverse arch. The forefoot structure is severely weakened, causing pain in the ball of the foot.
Wearing hard, flat shoes and walking on hard surfaces such as concrete, pavements, tiled floors and similar surfaces will make this problem even worse.
For those ladies who love wearing fashion shoes, Footlogics can help. Our Versa insoles restore biomechanical balance; support your arches, as well as the metatarsal bones. With your weight distributed evenly, using the entire foot instead of just pushing into the forefoot, Versa insoles prevent excessive pressure and friction in the ball of the foot. As a result the pain and the burning sensation will get better - especially with longer periods of standing or walking. We love to hear from our customers, and among our favorite description of wearing Footlogics insoles in high heels is that it feels as though she (the wearer) is in low heeled or flat shoes...! Versa orthotics are recommended by many podiatrists in Australia, as well as the UK, Europe and Canada.
Ball of Foot pain is not just limited to women wearing fashion shoes. Men and women alike suffer from ball of foot pain in normal, or flat shoes.
For shoes with a low of flat heel we recommend the Footlogics Metatarsalgia. This is a soft 3/4 length orthotic with excellent ball of foot cushioning, arch support and a promintent metatarsal support. By lifting the metatarsal bones in the forefoot, pressure on the ball of the foot is being reduced.
Orthotic insoles can be very effective to treat your Ball of Foot pain as they will provide the necessary biomechanical correction and prevent over-pronation. For flat lace-up shoes we recommend the Footlogics Comfort.
Footlogics Comfort orthotics will effectively support the longitudinal arch, properly re-aligning the feet and ankles. Importantly, our insoles also feature a metatarsal raise to support the transverse arch. Greatly reducing the pressure and friction on the foot, Footlogics orthotics will provide long-term relief from ball of foot pain, and help rid you of that painful 'Hot Foot'. Footlogics also offers an orthotic thong for Ball of Foot pain. It is recommend that even at home your feet are supported and cushioned, especially when walking on hard tiles. Tiki Girl thongs offer the same support as Footlogics orthotic insoles.

So far, bear tally higher than in last year's hunting season
So far, bear tally higher than in last year's hunting season
Hunters killed 223 bears during the third day of Pennsylvania's statewide bear season, raising the three-day total to nearly 2,500. That's almost a 9 percent increase over the number of bears taken during the first three days of last year's season.
The figures come from preliminary data released Wednesday by the state Game Commission. With one day remaining, bears have been harvested in 54 of 67 counties.
The heaviest bears taken so far weighed 713 pounds each. One was killed in Granville Township in Mifflin County, the other in Blair Township in Blair County.
Hunters harvested 3,366 bears during the 2014 season.
The state's largest bear harvest happened in 2011, when 4,350 bears were taken.

Destination: The Grove / Location: Los Angeles / Activity: Christmas tree lighting and SNOW!
Living in the City of Angels is cool and all, but there's no dang snow! So when the holidays come rolling around we don't have that picturesque white Christmas we keep singing songs about. We really do only get a white Christmas in our dreams... sigh!
That is, until the Grove in La Brea got the brilliant idea to put on a snow show for us! Every night at 7 o'clock and 8 o'clock they blast "Let it Snow" and dump snow until the song is over, and it's a magical moment where couples dip and kiss and let the snow fall on their faces and kids start dancing around the gigantic Christmas tree. I was even catching the fake snowflakes on my tongue when I realized it's soap bubbles, so don't eat it! :)
During Christmastime the Grove is your ultimate entertainment destination. There are stages with live performers, including dancers and musicians!, and the cobblestone streets are spread with tiny bands dressed up in Nutcracker outfits playing Christmas carols on their horns. There's a GIGANTIC Santa house where you can meet the jolly jovial idol of children all around the world, and once in while you'll have to jump out of the street as the trolley zips by.
It's such a fun place to be during the holidays, and window displays are all decked out in Christmas and carols blast through the speakers while you shop and eat or even catch a movie at the theatre. The best place to warm up with some hot chocolate is Haagen Dazs, I was mind blown at how creamy and chocoaltey it was! Enjoy the LA night air with the lights all aglow and your best friend in tote.

A Senior Policy and Operations Manager of the International Drug Policy Consortium, Jamie Bridge, has advocated a 'balanced drug policy' as a surer way of tackling drug related issues in West Africa.
He said the existing Drug Policy, "The War On Drugs", is not yielding any positive result in curbing the menace, despite its 50 years of implementation, globally.
The IDPC Senior Policy and Operations Manager was speaking in an interview with Modern Ghana at the closing ceremony of a two-day workshop on Drug Policy in West Africa, organized by the West Africa Civil Society Institute (WACSI) and IDPC in Accra.
The workshop was held in partnership with the Open Society Initiative of West Africa (OSIWA), the Kofi Annan Foundation and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), with participants from over forty civil society organizations (CSOs) in West African countries.
According to Mr. Bridge, a balanced drug policy should decriminalise drug use cases and rather view them as health matters that need medical attention.
He said the current policy, "The War On Drug", which only focuses on the arrest and detention or jailing of drug users was inadequate because a drug user should not even end up in prison.
He argued that the prison should be reserved for drug cartels or traders who he called "the big fishes" because they are making big money out of it and sometimes using poor people for the business.
"The prison must be reserved for the big fishes and not the drug users. The drug user must not even end up in prison; they could end up using more and even dangerous drugs whilst in prison; they shouldn't die in prison. Drug use cases must be seen as other health cases which need medical attention," Jamie Bridge stated.
He said instead of arresting and jailing drug users, the stakeholders (the government, security agencies and the community) must rather have enough resources to support the drug users.
The IDPC Senior Operations Manager said there were not enough health facilities in West Africa to cater for drug use cases and said there was the need for the stakeholders to channel their funds and energy towards providing health facilities than arresting and keeping drug users.
He called on all stakeholders to come on board in making a better global Drug Policy.
"We are not going to change the laws right away; we invite all stakeholders to come on board so we have a debate, talk more and openly about drug, and be honest with the issues," Jamie said.
A participant of the workshop, Mr. Christian Lokko, who works with Remar Ghana, a non-governmental organization (NGO) in rehabilitation, and who himself was a drug user for over twenty-five (25) years, reiterated the need for the decriminalization of drug use cases.
Speaking at length with Modern Ghana about his personal experience as a former drug addict, Mr. Lokko said the situation demands more care and medical attention rather than arrest and detention in prison for many years and eventually the death of the drug user.
He took the opportunity to advise the youth to stay away from the use of hard drugs, cannabis, cocaine and marijuana because it only leads to destruction.

Yeast extract and maltodextrin. Not perfect, but probably lower in FGA than some (most?). How much can you squish into a bitty cube anyway? By definition the creation of stock creates FGA. Doesn't even have to be added back or have ingredients that increase it. Slow cooking with water hydrolyzes protein. Whether it bothers you or not is a function of what you personally, can handle without noticing. That said, we all know that damage can take place even when we do not have obvious symptoms. (Which is painfully clear to me at the moment, as I enter week two of my elemental formula treatment for damage from food allergies. On the upside - I am feeling great! A little hungry
But otherwise great.)

evelyn, All I've read says yeast extract is just like MSG - maltodextrin perhaps slightly better.

Deb's daughter uses Pacific Natural Foods Organic Chicken Broth with no reactions.
A quick way for me to make broth is to buy safe chicken backs, thighs or wings at the store, then put them in a crock pot just before bed. I add extra bits of onions, celery and carrots from the freezer. I place it on low and strain it in the morning when I wake up. Good luck!

I use Kitchen Basics with no adverse reactions.
I could never make gravy from scratch but have gotten quite good lately. I also have a wheat sensitivity so I use gluten free flour when I make gravy.

EmilyS, if a food item is simply labeled "organic" rather than "100% organic" they are allowed to use autolyzed yeast extract in it. The ingredients of Pacific Natural Foods Organic Free Range Low Sodium Chicken Broth are:
Organic chicken broth (filtered water, organic chicken)
Organic chicken flavor
Organic Free Range Low Sodium Chicken Broth Natural chicken flavor (chicken broth, salt)
Organic evaporated cane juice
Autolyzed yeast extract
Organic onion powder
Organic flavor
As for Kitchen Basics, I wonder about the ingredients in ingredients such as "chicken flavor".

The ingredients of Pacific Natural Foods Organic Free Range regular (not low sodium) Chicken Broth are:
Organic chicken broth (filtered water, organic chicken)
Organic chicken flavor (organic chicken flavor, sea salt)
Natural chicken flavor (chicken stock, salt)
Sea salt
Organic evaporated cane juice
Organic onion powder
Organic flavor
Again, not labeled "100% organic", and with the vague flavors.

Hi Roy, I personally can't eat any packaged broths. But Deb's daughter has a pretty strong reaction to MSG and she claims she doesn't have any reactions to the Pacific Natural Foods organic broth. I just wanted to throw that one out as an option that someone has had luck with over the years.

I love the crockpot idea, Emily! If a person can peel an onion and boil water, they can make broth very easily. In a large, oven proof pot or roasting pan, place 1 1/2 to 2 pounds of chicken legs, thighs, or wings, along with 2 or 3 large yellow onions, 4 ribs of celery, and 4 carrots...all roughly cut up. Peel the onions and carrots, first, unless carrots are organic. Drizzle with a little sunflower or mild olive oil, and salt and pepper. Roast at 375 degrees for 1 hour or until edges of veggies and meat are golden brown. Remove from oven and add water to cover the items in the pot and simmer for another half hour to 1 hour on the range on low heat or until meat starts to fall off the bone. Parsley, more salt and pepper may be added to the simmering pot. Turn off heat and let cool. Strain liquid into a bowl and refrigerate. Some people like to save the veggies to puree or add to soups. Freeze in quart bag. Remove meat from bones and freeze to use in soups or casseroles. When liquid is cooled, you can remove some of the fat, if desired. Ladle the liquid into freezer bags, freeze, and use for gravy or soup base when needed. I like to make a richer Thanksgiving gravy by doing this the week before and adding some of the chicken broth to my turkey drippings. If I don't do that, I just simmer the turkey neck and giblets (not liver) in water for half an hour or so, with some onion and celery, and use that liquid instead.

I previously used for years Nature Valley beef and chicken broth in cans. Either just before or just after that they were brought out by Hains Celestial Nature Valley brought out their broths also in containers like milk containers with different ingredients from the cans, major FGA ingredients.
Hains Celestial then made changes in the labeling of the canned broths as well so the new content was unclear on the label.
I entered into email corespondence with them and got several weasel-word replies with vague answers to my specific questions on the contents. The answers were always of the general variety- Hains uses only the best ingredients and we would never put anything in our products that would harm you but we won't tell you what is in our products.
I decided that I wouldn't ever buy them again.It's too bad because I bought them by the case for years from Whole Foods as they were the only brand of commercial soup I could tolerate.
Their assumption that I was so dumb their replies would fool me made me mad and made me feel so bad for those would be fooled by them and get sick from their greed.

Mike and I were in Costco a few days ago, and I remarked about how many young obese couples there were...he said he was thinking the same thing. We also noticed that many had a pallid complexion with dark circles under their eyes. I was just sad as I looked at their cases of top ramen and other processed foods. Please take real care to avoid suspicious tempting treats this holiday. Make lots of veggie sides you can enjoy and other treats to eat. If you must go to someone's party, eat first and stick to what you know is safe. It's never worth days of feeling terrible and regretful...been there!

Thanks Deb. As you say, it's not worth being sick for a couple of days because of foods.
Thank you for sharing this broth receipe. I have the same problem with broths. Can't buy anymore of these on the shelves. There was only one I could buy and I used to buy a lot (!!) because I was using it in roasts, pots, soups, etc. The ingredients were organic and no 'free glutamate' ingredient was added. Now the co. has changed the packaging and - oh surprise - the ingredients. Now it contains natural flavors and other ingredients containing free glutamate. I had to stop buying it and was wondering how I can make it myself and, more importantly, how to preserve it until I want to use it.
As if no company could do healthy broths anymore!! Pfff!

Pacific organic vegetable broth
use it with beef/chicken/veggies
use it for everything
soups-gravy and warm it

The Pacific organic vegetable broth you recommended lists garlic in the ingredients on the website. Garlic is high in FGA. If I used it for anything, let alone everything, I would be very sick and miserable for many days.
Recognising that we are all sensitive at different levels please stay on the board so we can work together to help each other.

Interesting Hoteru that you react to garlic and we all respond at different levels.
I am highly sensitive but I use garlic several times a week with no reactions. I don't know if it makes a difference but I use garlic I grow myself or cloves from the grocery store (never bottled or packaged).

Seamless gutters are the best type of gutters that you can install on your home are seamless gutters. This is because seamless gutters will last you a lot longer than tradition piece gutters. Most people understand the importance of having gutters on your home no matter what kind of gutters they are. It is just simply important that they are there.
People often forget about them as well. They do not clean them and they do not make sure that the gutters are completely clean and are working the way that they are supposed to be working.
What happens to a foundation of a house is not good when there are no rain gutters installed on that house over a long period of time. The lack of gutters can cause a foundation to crumble and then the whole house is done. That is not something that anyone wants to have happen to their home. So don't let it happen to yours and be proactive in installing gutters on to your home.
If you live in Rhode Island then you will be pleased to find that there are a lot of companies that install Rhode Island seamless gutters for you and they are able to do it at a good price as well.
At the same time, if you live in a place like Boston then you still have a lot of options when it comes to gutter installation Boston. You just have to go online and start looking up companies as well as looking up the different services that they offer and what kinds of reviews that they have on those services. Most Boston gutter installation companies will offer you a number of different options when it comes to gutters. But if you ask me, one of the best options that you can choose is the seamless gutter option.

Enumerating Zonotope Vertices for Correlation Clustering
Abstract: A zonotope is the linear projection of a high dimensional hypercube into a lower-dimensional space. Many combinatorial optimization problems can be solved by enumerating vertices of this special kind of convex polygon. In this talk I will give a general introduction to zonotopes, and then demonstrate how sampling vertices of the so-called signing-zonotope leads to a fast method for the task of correlation clustering on low-dimensional datasets.
