With such a huge emphasis being placed on health and fitness nowadays (thank you, Instagram) it's easy to get wrapped up in the latest fads. That's why when we came across a lot of these weight loss hacks, we made sure to do our due diligence as journalists and research the heck out of them! We can't very well throw caution to the freakin' wind and recommend these things to y'all without knowing positively what effect these methods will have on the human body. Right? Right!
We can't very-well be positive, as we haven't tried them all ourselves. However, there's some seriously sturdy research to support that these seemingly wacky weight loss hacks pay off in spades (or better yet, in pounds).

Florida cruised to a 72-45 victory against Belmont Tuesday evening at the O'Connell Center behind Jennifer George's 15 points and six boards.
The Florida women's basketball team used a balanced offensive attack, which saw nine different players score, and a lockdown defensive performance to cruise to a 72-45 victory against Belmont Tuesday evening at the O'Connell Center.
"It was a great win for us, a great opportunity to try and spread our minutes around a little bit. It gave us an opportunity to work on things we don't always get to do during games," UF coach Amanda Butler said. "To have the type of balance and give everyone the opportunity at such quality minutes in a game situation is really valuable for our team going forward."
Florida (6-1) took advantage of 29 Belmont turnovers by turning them into 44 points.
The Gators also used size to their advantage as they outscored the Bruins (1-6) by a 34-16 margin in the paint.
The Gators were led offensively by a trio of double-figure scorers. Jennifer George scored 15 points and shared team-high honors with six rebounds. Brittany Shine added a season-high 13 points and Lanita Bartley contributed 12 points, three assists and three steals in 21 minutes of play.
Using a balanced attack and stifling defense, the Gators jumped out to an early 22-12 lead 10 minutes into the contest.
UF then went on a surge, closing the half on a 24-7 run to take a 46-19 lead into the locker room and never looked back en route to its sixth consecutive win.
"We have such an advantage by having two people that can pressure the ball so effectively in Lanita Bartley and Jaterra Bonds," Butler said. "We ask them to set the tone with their defense and ball pressure, and you saw that tonight. I thought they did a great job."
Florida returns to action on Friday, facing undefeated Rutgers at the Ocean Center in Daytona Beach.

|Zucchini Bran Muffins
I don't have a reading inspiration for this recipe - I just made a really great thing I want to gift to the Internets. Terribly sorry to ruin your Tuesday with that news. I just happen to love bran muffins, and weirdly often find myself embarrassed by them. Their reputation gives the impression they are the old man of the muffin family, or something. They're not the family dog everyone loves, like blueberry, or your zippy mom, like a lemon poppy, or a corn safe bet, like your dad, or cool and trendly like your popular older siblings (donut muffins) or even like the hot cousin blowing into town at the holidays (I'm looking at you, pumpkin). They're just kind of there, sitting heavily in the back of the case. But I love them. I truly, madly, deeply do. I've loved them since I was a kid, and they were DEFINITELY not cool, because who coats a bran muffin in sugar, like all the fancy blueberry muffins the other kids would fight over after sitting through a Sunday morning church service?
|Soon you will be delicious Zucchini Bran Muffins.
I also love this time of year for the bountiful crop of zucchini that you can find at your local farmers market, or even grocery store. I enjoy zucchini bread half as much as I enjoy the actual vegetable, which is to say an indecent amount. When I started thinking about how much I love both of these things on a long run, it only made sense to put them together. Let's just call it a wild success; pretty sure this is one of the top five things my brain has ever made my hands cook. My mouth seems to believe that this recipe will be one I make for years to come. They are beyond delicious, filled with flavor, and presumably healthy from all the nutrients in the vegetables, grains, nuts, and fruit (just play along, guys). They're basically all you need aside from a strong cup of coffee on a cool, August morning (or ever). Get cooking!
|So soon.
|Zucchini Bran Muffins:
Proudly elevating Bran Muffins from Old Man status to Hawt Young Thang status (since 2013)
- I consulted a few sources, and then, shocker, went rogue. If you'd like to consult too, check out Shipyard Galley's Zucchini Muffins, The Farmgirl Fare's Zucchini Bran Muffins, The Back in the Day Bakery Cookbook's Carrot Golden Raisin Muffins, and The Joy of Cooking's recipe for Bran Muffins.
- I used golden raisins because I thought they'd be a nice, visual contrast, and are slightly larger and chewier. You can use regular raisins, dates, or another dried fruit of your choosing.
- For nut allergies, I've got a few ideas. I'd suggest either doubling the dried fruit (or trying two different kinds), omitting them entirely, using the equivalent in dried coconut or grated carrot, or (crazy) going for chocolate.
- Allegedly, this batter will keep for four days, refrigerated. I'm also contemplating the potential for freezing it. I didn't try either (how could I wait?!), but want to; it sounds like a great gift idea!

Just What Are the Causes of Strokes?
Amongst all the major health problems in existence, heart attacks and strokes head the list. That said, strokes are amongst the leading causes of death inside of the United States of America. The health issue is also a major reason a woman/man acquires a long-term handicap.

Precisely why are strokes rather common? Men and women are in danger of stroke, and the underlying factors deviate for guys to women as well. We'll check the risks and classify them according to the widespread risks for both genders. Recognizing the risk factors is the first step in preventing a stroke
Factors That Cause Strokes in Ladies

Heart attack
Heart failure
Disorders which trigger blood clotting
Being diabetic
Consuming oral contraceptives
Doing HRT (hormone replacement therapy)
Being pregnant
Suffering from migraines
Keeping a plumper waist combined with a higher triglyceride level (blood fat level)
Each of these factors are reasons to be concerned. Various signify your all around health is substandard. Other items on the list elevate your odds of acquiring a blood clot within your arteries (like tobacco smoking and utilizing HRT/birth control pills). For all who possess any of these risk factors, it's essential to discuss stroke prevention with your medical practitioner.
Causes of Stroke in Men
Lots of risk factors for males are a lot like the ones in females. Let's enumerate them individually so you can be attentive to the risks for your sex.
High blood pressure
Using cigarettes
High cholesterol
Sporadic heart rhythm (atrial fibrillation)
Endocarditis (infection within the valves of the heart)
Congenital heart faults
Heart failure
Ailments which result in blood clotting
Heart valve troubles
Being diabetic
Should you experience diminished blood pressure, this will be able to elevate your likelihood of an ischemic stroke wherein your blood vessel busts and bleeds inside the brain. As with girls, when you have the risks listed here, you ought to be contacting your medical professional with regard to the next steps you can undertake for ceasing strokes.

text: Patient Stories 2015-10-09 Battling Back to Her Babies Main Article Content Breadcrumb navigation All/Patient Stories/Battling Breast Cancer for Her Babies Kathleen's Breast Cancer Treatment Plan January 19, 2015 was a lot of things for Kathleen. It was her 35th birthday. It was the day she gave birth to twins, Shea and Sean, her "miracle babies," at Northwestern Medicine Prentice Women's Hospital after years of intense fertility treatments. And it was the day before she learned she had stage 2 breast cancer. January 19th was her highest of highs, before life felt like it was falling apart. Kathleen had always been very diligent about breast self-exams and getting mammograms – her mother passed away from breast cancer in 1989, so she began getting mammograms at an early age. She had one right before she got pregnant – nothing out of the ordinary. Still, about a month before she gave birth, she felt a lump in her right breast. First, she thought it was just a natural part of her pregnancy, perhaps her milk coming in. But after she delivered her twins in the hospital, she asked her obstetrician, Elias R. Sabbagha, MD, about the lump and while he thought it might just be a cyst, he wanted her to get checked. "I had grown very close to Dr. Sabbagha during our fertility treatments and to this day, I give him props for being so proactive with getting me tested right away," said Kathleen. "He really did save my life." After her mammogram, Kathleen had an ultrasound, at which point she was told a biopsy would be needed– and that it very much looked like breast cancer. Kathleen couldn't believe it – she remembers laughing, telling her inpatient care team no, no – she had just had twins, it was probably just milk ducts or a cyst. But her care team was solemn and everything moved very quickly after that. The biopsy came back positive. Kathleen was discharged home with two new beautiful babies and a diagnosis of breast cancer. Shortly after, Kathleen went through a range of tests – MRIs, blood tests, bone scans and so on – and started receiving referrals for oncologists and surgeons throughout the city. "We had gotten such good care during everything we had gone through up to that date that we decided to go with Northwestern Medicine," Kathleen explained. Her care team at the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University at Northwestern Memorial Hospital would be led by oncologist Sarika Jain, MD. Meanwhile, Kathleen had new babies at home, too. Her friends and family immediately jumped into action. She remembers her girlfriends showing up en masse the day when she first got home from the hospital after giving birth. They were equipped with a plan to support her and her family in every way while, Kathleen prepped to meet her care team at Northwestern Memorial Hospital and discovered what they had in mind to take on her cancer. "They had assembled a team and it wasn't just one doctor, it was an entire team of doctors, that were looking at my background and my situation and asking, what are we going to do to keep this woman around and let her see her kids grow up?" said Kathleen. Kathleen's breast cancer was very aggressive and it was growing fast. She learned she had the BRCA gene and she was HER2-positive. The former was a shock – Kathleen's sister was told almost a decade earlier that Kathleen herself wouldn't need to be tested since her sister tested negative at another hospital – and the latter, while a scary diagnosis a few years ago, now allowed her care team to craft a precise treatment plan thanks to better medicine. "I was literally just sobbing through these meetings with the doctors and they would hold my hand and grab me tissue," Kathleen remembered. "The bedside manner was just incredible; I can't even explain the care we received – even outside the medical care. "You get to know these people really well, but they really remember the little things. They help you get through it obviously in a medical capacity but they also just really do care that you're getting the best care and you're feeling okay," Kathleen continued. "I had a lot of setbacks and always got a phone call from my doctor making sure that I was doing okay. Any time someone's like, do you think I should go Northwestern Medicine or this other hospital – I'm like, it's not even a question. You're going to get the top care, in my opinion, there." Ultimately, Kathleen would receive six cycles of aggressive chemotherapy to shrink and control her tumor, starting just a month after she gave birth including a full year of Herceptin therapy. She experienced the worst of the side effects – every low percentage risk of infection or allergic reaction. She was in and out of the hospital for three-day visits throughout her treatment. When her chemo finished in May of 2015, she had a double mastectomy in July. "I had a lot of mixed emotions about it. As a woman, you have already gone through losing your hair – as much as you say it's just hair, it's a difficult thing. It's pretty hard to get weird looks from people when you're out with these little babies and you're wearing a chemo cap," Kathleen remembered. "But for the double mastectomy, I was ready. I knew that this was the final step to officially rid my body of the cancer." She opted to do tissue expanders and then the exchange surgery for implants, nipple reconstruction and 3D tattoos after that. "They look so real," Kathleen laughed, almost a year later. "It's really, really weird, but they really make you feel like normal." Still, as she shifts into a survivorship mode – check-ups every few months, fundraising and raising awareness for BRCA gene testing – she's discovering a new normal. "Kathleen's exceptional struggle as both a cancer patient as well as a new mother of twins really touched me on a personal level. Her courage, strength, and grace in such challenging times continue to inspire me in my daily practice." Dr. Jain said. "It's about enjoying your life and being thankful for it but also picking yourself up and moving on. I can't focus on what I didn't get to do because there's nothing I can do to change it," Kathleen explained. "I think it's just that I don't take a second for granted with my kids. I want to play with them and cuddle with them and take them on walks and do anything I can that we didn't get to do last year." "They're funny and loving and just running in every direction. Seeing life through their eyes and experiencing everything – like trying a bite of apple pie – with them is so cool," Kathleen continued. "It's just so amazing and it really puts a whole new spin on life." Learn more about breast cancer prevention and testing for the BRCA gene through breast cancer care at Northwestern Medicine.

The bottom line: If you want a happier family, bring those skeletons out of the closet.
One of the core ideas of the Bible is that meaning can be found in history. The sheer act of telling and retelling stories helps us to understand God's role in the world as well as our own position in a long line of ancestors who have wrestled with similar issues to the ones we wrestle with every day.
The bottom line: if you want a happier family, create, refine and retell the story of your family's positive moments and your ability to bounce back from the difficult ones. That act alone may increase the odds that your family will thrive for many generations to come.
Take a walk with a turtle. And behold the world in pause.
Decades of research have shown that most happy families communicate effectively. But talking doesn't mean simply 'talking through problems,' as important as that is. Talking also means telling a positive story about yourselves.
When faced with a challenge, happy families, like happy people, just add a new chapter to their life story that shows them overcoming the hardship. This skill is particularly important for children, whose identity tends to get locked in during adolescence.

I have said for years that diets don't work. "Lifestyle change" is just another word for a diet. Is there a diet I haven't tried? Probably, but it would just be a recycled version of one of the countless plans I've tried before…many of them repeatedly, but all with the same loss/regain result. Falling off the wagon came easy. It seems insane to let one meal, or one "wrong" thing derail a whole month of struggle. Then there's the discouragement: after being "good" all week and only losing .5 of a pound…but here's a thought:
If I lost only 5 pounds a month for a year, I would weigh 60 pounds less. Would I have loved to have started this year off 60 pounds less than I did? You better know it.
In two years, I would have lost 120 pounds, and I would have been ecstatic, had I lost only 5 pounds per month and not gotten discouraged! Actually, I probably did lose close to 120 in two years, trouble is…I lost and regained those same pounds on a vicious tilt-a-whirl carnival ride.
Hard fact: If your goal is the number on the scales, in five years, you'll still be riding the same merry-go-round…or roller coaster, with its ups and downs. I keep telling myself…and anyone who will listen…we have to find a way to eat that we can live with for the rest of our lives! And it shouldn't involve spending 2/3 of our day planning/counting/stressing/worrying about food.
My Love Affair with Sugar:
A few weeks ago, I went to Nashville to celebrate my aunt's 89th birthday. There was a plate of home-baked chocolate chip cookies on the counter, and eventually, I ate one. On the first bite…before I even swallowed, I thought to myself, "This is not going to be enough." (Which tells me sugar addiction is partly mental!) I had two more, and I shared a piece of coconut cake with Ole Boy. Later, I had a fried dinner…catfish, fries, hushpuppies, slaw, cornbread. The next day, I ate at a Chinese buffet.
Normally, a weekend like this would be enough to derail me for the rest of the month…or year. But I remembered (or perhaps God reminded me) that I can't rely on my own strength. It has failed me countless times!
So I made me an index card and propped it up on my desk at work:
|I have written more on it since this photo.
See the end of this post for my Power Verses.
To be Clear:
This is not about just reading/reciting scriptures! It is about having faith in them…believing the words are living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12) It is renewing the mind!
Let me tell you yesterday:
I decided to eat an old standby for when I'm on a binge (yeah, who knows my reasoning?!) I stopped at Jacks for a bacon & cheese biscuit, fried potatoes, and a large sweet tea. My intention was to go on to Walmart and get some cinnamon buns, or donuts…you know, something for a binge. On my way to Walmart, which was only a few blocks from Jacks, I gave my normal thanks to God for my food, and asked Him to bless it. I often feel funny about asking God to bless food that are really bad choices, but I ask Him anyway. Then I just talked to Him.
I told Him that my eating the fast food wasn't a sin, it just wasn't a good choice. I asked Him to help me remember that even if I have a whole day of bad choices, I still do not have to be a glutton.
I sat in the parking lot and ate my food, telling myself I'd just get one piece of pie, or only one or two donuts so that I couldn't binge. I mean, that makes sense, doesn't it? I just ate a bad-choice breakfast, so I'll top it off with an ever worse bad choice, even though I was full, because I cannot deny that when I eat sugar-laden food, I find myself obsessing about eating. Making better choices helps me in more ways than one.
While shopping and thinking about what sugar product to buy, I realized I was relying on my own strength: justifying, plotting, planning…obsessing! See where my own strength gets me? Somewhere near the shoe department, I recited my power verses…out loud, (but under my breath so that no one would think I was crazy). And I believed in the power of those verses.
By the time I got to the cake and pie section, my intention had changed, without any effort on my part. My effort had been walking through the store reciting scripture. I walked right past all the donuts, Little Debbie's, cakes, and pies, and hardly glanced their way. I picked up some grapes, a honeydew melon, some peanuts, and came home.
Still can't let go the number on the scale? Remember this:
If you hope to lose 15 or 20 pounds a month, you set yourself up for failure. Other than the first month, that is an unrealistic goal. Eight pounds a month for an obese person is a reasonable goal, remembering that there are times you will only lose five or six pounds, and you cannot let that derail you.
- Lord, You are my Shepherd. (Psalm 23:1) Feed me with knowledge and understanding. (Jeremiah 3:15)
- Let me taste and see that You are good, let me take refuge in You. (Psalm 34:8)
- I will trust in You and do good; I will feed on Your faithfulness. (Psalm 37:3)
- Lord, I will not worry about what I will eat. (Mathew 6:25)
This is the scripture that I came across in my daily reading that put me on this path:
Jesus speaking:
- Do not labor for the food with perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him. (John 6:27)

At Business Insider, Michelle Mark covers Donald Trump's response to Hillary Clinton's foreign policy speech:
Trump's shots at Clinton came after a fiery foreign policy speech she gave earlier the same day, during which she denounced Trump's policy proposals as "as a series of bizarre rants, personal feuds, and outright lies" and declared that electing him would be a "historic mistake."
While Trump didn't go into detail about the arguments Clinton made in her speech, he called it "phony" and a "Donald Trump hit job," and lambasted her for the email scandal that has plagued her campaign for more than a year.
Clinton has long been fighting to alleviate concerns that her private email account posed security risks to government business and classified material. But last Wednesday, the State Department released a damning report claiming she "did not comply" with the department's policies regarding her email.

Just another day in Birmingham, thought I'd do my weekly grocery shop in town, I plan to make good hearty food this week as I think some people, ahem, have started getting into the habit of eating crap whenever I don't cook. Besides that, the weather was... British. Sunny, but still cold, so I just layered it up in one of my favourite scarfs and my AMAZING boots from Zara.

"MetricStream Demonstrated One of the Most Flexible GRC Platforms Evaluated," Says the Report
REDWOOD SHORES, CA--(Marketwire - January 10, 2008) - MetricStream, Inc., a market leader in
enterprise-wide Governance, Risk, Compliance (GRC) and Quality Management
solutions, today announced that it has been cited as a 'Leader' in the
recent published report Forrester Wave™: Enterprise Governance, Risk and
Compliance Platforms 2007. MetricStream was among the select companies that
Forrester invited to participate in its report The Forrester Wave™:
Enterprise Governance, Risk and Compliance Platforms, Q4 2007.
Forrester developed a comprehensive set of approximately 100 evaluation
criteria against which to evaluate the leading enterprise GRC platforms. In
addition to market presence and client feedback, the companies were
evaluated on a range of capabilities that span multiple enterprise GRC
areas including many risk areas such as strategic, operational and IT risks
as well as regulatory and operational compliance areas such as quality
management, health and safety, financial assurance and corporate
"We are very happy being recognized as a leader in the Forrester Wave™
report on Enterprise GRC Platforms. It demonstrates our success and
commitment towards enabling our customers in building better governed and
more resilient enterprises," said Shellye Archambeau, CEO of MetricStream.
The report notes that "MetricStream demonstrated one of the most flexible
GRC platforms evaluated." Further, the report says that "MetricStream has
developed strong capabilities in all core areas required of the GRC
function -- policy and procedure management, risk and control management,
loss and investigations management and GRC analytics."
MetricStream's versatile Enterprise Compliance Platform technology uniquely
addresses a variety of risk scenarios across verticals ranging from
Strategic and Enterprise Risk Management to a growing range of
industry-specific operational risk issues such as Pharmacovigilance in the
life sciences industry, Safety risks in the food and beverage industry,

according to the report. "A key differentiator is its operation of
ComplianceOnline.com, a GRC community portal that offers visitors access to
information, best practices, training and products," notes the report.

looking for a federated approach to manage their Corporate Governance
initiatives, Enterprise and Operational Risk, Regulatory and Industry
Compliance that spans the entire enterprise," said Gaurav Kapoor CFO and
General Manager of MetricStream. "A federated and flexible GRC architecture

Roasted Tomato Leek Soup, an easy homemade tomato soup with leeks, garlic and fresh basil. Perfect with a side of fresh ciabatta or sourdough bread!
I was never a fan of tomato soup, honestly. I did not like the canned creamy and over-salted version that sat in our cupboard as a child (uneaten, not surprisingly). It wasn't until I tried a taste of a homemade tomato and basil soup at a friend's house a few years ago that I considered trying my hand at making my own.
And boy am I glad I did, because this Roasted Tomato Leek Soup is now famous in this house.
During tomato season in late summer and early fall this soup is a weekly occurrence. And when the market down the road puts one pound bags of tomatoes on sale for $0.99 you can believe that I'm coming home with bags full of tomatoes. It's all I can do to find recipes to use them up, and this tomato soup is one of my favorites.
This recipe has evolved over time, as most recipes should. It started as a take on a classic tomato recipe and evolved into one with onions, garlic, basil and leeks. No butter, no dairy, no cream. Just fresh vegetables and vegetables broth and a whole lot of flavor.
One thing that is absolutely not optional with this tomato soup is serving it with a side of bread. I'm particularly partial to sourdough since I live in San Francisco, but a fresh ciabatta or french baguette will also get the job done.
Because this tomato soup is for dipping, first and foremost.
Roasted Tomato Leek Soup: Tips, Tricks & Tools
This soup is as simple a soup recipe can be, but there are a few tricks and tools to make your time in the kitchen most efficient.
- A sturdy, ceramic soup pot. While I'm partial to my Lodge ceramic dutch oven, I have my eye on a larger soup pot because we like making extra to freeze and eat lunches all month.
- An immersion blender. I'm not one to collect needless kitchen gadgets (attempting to be a kitchen minimalist, plus my kitchen is about 100 square feet), but buying an immersion blender for soups changed my life. Before that I was scooping the soup into a blender, which was tedious and made a huge mess. The immersion blender was a game changer and took me from a soup amateur to master.

As a young-ish adult I still loved the whole idea of pen-palling...so much so that I asked for a spinning and knitting penfriend in the classifieds of a British knitting journal. Many folks from England wrote to me but one person, Lorry, stood out with her wit, intelligence, and friendliness. To this day, Lorry and I correspond...now more so via phone or internet than snailmail. In fact, she's one of the talented fiber artists who spun and knitted projects for my upcoming book, "Spinning Around."
Fast forward to a few years ago. As mentioned in earlier posts, I found Aeclectic Tarot quite by accident. Among the wonderful possibilities this site has to offer is the "forum" section, where folks can chat about all sorts of Tarot or metaphysical topics. On a "welcome" group in the forum, a kind person by the name of "tink27" not only caught my eye, but was sincerely friendlier than all the rest who were posting. Being an intuitive myself, I usually get a reading on a person when I'm near them in a matter of seconds. But since energy IS energy, it's not surprising when one can get a reading on a person via the internet as well. Well, if I could describe tink27's aura, I'd say it was brilliant and sparkling with love and beauty.
The long and short of it is that tink27 is ravenstar is my friend and teacher, Janice. Yes, she's the wonderful blog author of The Healing Room. I highly suggest you skedaddle over to Janice's blog just as soon as you can. Be sure to go back into her archives for a wealth of spiritual and healing information.
Janice has generously share SO MUCH with me, I can't begin to tell you it all. We've exchanged Tarot readings. She introduced me to the amazing Sabian Symbols. She introduced me to crystal healing. She's hipped me to many excellent books. She's shared her incredible experiences and knowledge of the 4 healing modes she's trained in: Reiki, massage, Therapeutic Touch and Touch for Health. Janice is one of the most gifted and giving people I've ever met. That said, we've NEVER met (yet) in person! Thank you, dear Janice, for ALL you do.

Chernobyl Day2010 in the world by RNA Italy
With the opening of Chernobyl to tourism, some people would like to forget this disaster. We must remind everyone that this catastrophe is still a reality and that Chernobyl still kills. It is up to us to tell everyone that nuclear power remains more than ever a threat to the people and their environment… And also that all over the world, alternative energies are developing much faster than nuclear power.
We therefore call for 25 days of action, in France and worldwide, from the 2th to the 26th of April. We would like to give publicity to every actions and events aiming at denouncing the nuclear industry and promoting alternative energies.
We particularly would like to make the voice of victims of the nuclear industry worldwide be heard. Accident victims, but also people working in nuclear power plants, who get radioactive doses so that the plants can work, and all people whose health and lands are destroyed by uranium mining.
Come and join us for "Chernobyl 25 years - 25 days of action." Last year we published 237 actions in 19 countries. In 2011, Let's send a strong signal to leave nuclear behind !

This historic book may have numerous typos, missing text, images, or index. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. 1887. Not illustrated. Excerpt: ... XXXVII. BUENA VISTA. 1. Soon after Texas was admitted into the Union, a war broke out between the United States and Mexico. The United States claimed Texas as an independent country, while Mexico regarded it as a revolted State. A United States army, under General Taylor, took possession of the disputed territory, and this led to collisions with the Mexican forces, and soon after to a declaration of war. Then General Taylor was ordered to advance across the Rio Grande into the Mexican territory. With a small force not exceeding five thousand men, he crossed the river and drove away the Mexican army sent to oppose him, and took up his line of march for the important city of Monterey. This place contained ten thousand inhabitants, and was held by a Mexican force of ten thousand men. With his little army Taylor boldly advanced to the attack, and for three days the battle lasted, the Mexicans fighting bravely from street to street. At last the determined valor of the Northern soldiers won, and the Mexicans were forced to capitulate. 2. Taylor remained at Monterey from November to February, hoping that, with the fall of the city, the war would terminate. But, at the end of that time, he was again ordered to advance. His army now numbered in all only five thousand men, and with this small force he marched into the heart of a country of eight million inhabitants. In his advance he was obliged to traverse narrow passes in the mountains to reach the plains above; and, after a toilsome march, he found himself face to face with the Mexican general, Santa Anna, at the head of an army of twenty thousand men. 3. Knowing the disparity of forces, General Taylor immediately took position in the pass of Buena Vista, where he awaited the movement of the Mexicans. The high...

NEW YORK — Investors have drained almost $26 billion in market capitalization from JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) since the bank announced a surprise $2 billion trading loss a week ago — and most of it likely has left the bank sector altogether.
E. Keith Wirtz, the president and chief investment officer of Fifth Third Asset Management, said the money leaving banks is "is either going away from stocks, or they are going into categories like staples, utilities, health care, those more defensive sectors." Utilities and health-care stocks are roughly flat over the last five trading days, and consumer discretionary fell considerably less than financials. Biotechnology stocks are up.
Bank stocks have struggled to find a firm footing after the financial meltdown. But the sector has been among the best performing this year. JPMorgan was part of the rally, in part because it was among the first to restore its dividend, with an increase last year and another one earlier this year.
Its "premature" dividend hike "added fuel to the fire" of financial stocks, wrote Andrew Wilkinson, the chief economic strategist of Miller Tabak & Co. LLC, in a research note Thursday. "Financials outperformed discretionary stocks by 7% during the rally. All that has been given back as the rally turned to dust."
JPMorgan, along with Wells Fargo & Co. (WFC) and U.S. Bancorp (USB), has long been the go-to stock for fund managers who want to invest comfortably in bank stocks.
All three had come through the financial crisis in strong shape, their risk management held, their top executives are well regarded, and their growth prospects are promising.
But shares of Wells Fargo and U.S. Bancorp, though not down nearly as much, seemed to absorb little of the money that left with the more than 15% decline of JPMorgan's stock. Shares closed at $33.93 Thursday, off 4.31% or $1.53. Shares are down $6.81 in five days.
Investors put their money elsewhere rather than buying shares in another bank, no matter how stable the bank appears.
The lack of investor interest in shifting funds from JPMorgan to Wells Fargo and U.S. Bancorp is in part because most bank stock investors own those stocks already.
"They own all three. JPMorgan, Wells Fargo, U.S. Bancorp, those are the three big pillars" of the banking industry, said Byron Brand Snider, president pf West Oak Capital LLC, a JPMorgan shareholder. And "when you take a step beyond those names, then you have worries about balance sheets that aren't as big and strong.
"If I were to lose confidence in owning a name like JPMorgan, it probably would be money flowing out of the sector," he said. He has held on to his JPMorgan shares.
But other investors, particularly generalist fund managers selling JPMorgan "are pulling their money out" of the banking sector, said Brian Bertonazzi, the head of sales and trading at Sandler O'Neill + Partners LP. Thomas Michaud, the chief executive of KBW Inc., an investment bank specializing on the financial services industry, said, "Investors see what happens...and move on."
JPMorgan's reputation took a massive hit when the bank disclosed that it lost about $2 billion already this quarter on trades to hedge the bank's credit risk. The full extent of the damage from the flawed hedging strategy won't be known until the trades are unwound, which could take until the end of the year, Chief Executive James Dimon told investors last week.
Michaud said JPMorgan's issues shouldn't tarnish the entire industry, but they do in part because JPMorgan is such a big part of major bank indexes and the big drop is pulling down the sector's perceived performance, regardless of how risky the individual banks are.
That adds to concerns that banks in general are too leveraged and, given the slow economic recovery and uncertainty about how regulatory changes will impact banks' profitability, overall not a good investment.
Still, some analysts and investors believe sellers of JPMorgan stock are overreacting. Jill Cuniff, the president of Edge Asset Management, said her firm underweights banks, particularly the large banks.
"We don't own Citigroup (C), we don't own Bank of America (BAC), we are not confident in their business models," she said. Wells Fargo and JPMorgan, however, were exceptions, and "we still feel confident" in JPMorgan.
For Wirtz, the JPMorgan dip is "presenting a buying opportunity.
"My worry is that JPMorgan overreacts and overcompensate on risk control," he said. "They need to take risk; I want them to earn money."

Coping with Grief
Grief is a normal response to any loss. Each person's grief journey is unique, yet the process of grief is similar regardless of what was lost: a loved one, a relationship, your health or your loved one's health, your home, your identity or role caused by changes in your family, your job, your income, and hopes and dreams. The intensity of your grief is directly related to the strength of your attachment to what was lost.
Our lives today are very hurried and fast paced. Grieving has a slow pace. Grieving cannot be hurried or avoided. No matter how much you want your grief to go away, it will not. Due to our culture and the lack of experience with grief, you will have caring people say to you, "It has been three months…You need to get on with your life…Get out more…Have some fun." Your supervisor may also think your should be over this and get frustrated because you are not concentrating, you're making more mistakes, you're forgetting things, or you are too slow and not finishing things in a timely manner.
The purpose of the handouts in this series is to help you understand grief and that you are not alone is this new unwanted journey. Recognize that everyone will not experience all that is described or suggested in these handouts. Everyone's journey through grief is different. In the handout Grief and Its Phases, not everyone goes through every phase nor do they experience them in the order presented.
Grief Support Group
The Employee Assistance Program in Holmes Student Center room 701 is a safe place to express your grief when it unexpectedly appears. We are usually available and we have a waiting room if you want to be by yourself. If you need to talk with someone, call us at 753-9191.

High winds and excessive rain, hail or snow can turn a minor electrical issue into a major problem, here are a few of the most common electrical issues due to storms...
- Flooded electrical circuits
- Partial Power outage (not due to PECO)
- Loose outdoor cables
- Damaged outdoor wiring
When the Licensed Electrician evaluates your electrical system he will pay close attention to the outdoor wiring and cables that provide electricity to your home, Outdoor wiring stands front line with storms so it is very important to be sure those wires/cables can hold up thru the storm months. And some home owners may not know that all the outdoor wiring is not the responsibility of PECO to repair in the event of damage. Safety is also a very important issue, some homes with older wiring we refer to as "Knob & Tube" has issues that cannot simply be repaired if damaged, due to outdated wiring so that would mean a total rewire, So Generation 3 Electric urges you to be prepared this winter, have your home inspected so that you are aware of your homes electrical systems to avoid some problems in the future.

Beijing, Sep 22 (DPA) Nearly 13,000 infants have been hospitalized in China after medical staff examined some 53,000 for problems linked to the consumption of powdered milk laced with the chemical melamine, state media reported on Monday.A total of 12,892 infants were hospitalized and 39,965 others were taken to outpatient clinics across China after consuming suspected baby milk formula, the official China Daily quoted the health ministry as saying.
Four babies had died and 104 were seriously ill, while 1,579 babies were discharged from hospital after treatment, the newspaper said.
Most of those under treatment had consumed baby milk powder made by the Sanlu firm and 99.2 per cent of them were under three years old, it said.
China's top leaders over the weekend urged officials across the country to respond to the growing scandal over tainted milk after one government department said it had received more than 100,000 complaints about dairy products.
The State Administration for Industry and Commerce has launched a nationwide inspection of all dairy producers, wholesalers and retailers.
The administration issued an urgent circular ordering provincial officials to verify the qualifications of all dairy businesses and ensure that unlicensed ones were closed down.
It had received 106,143 complaints and refunded the cost of 304.38 tons of dairy products by Saturday morning, reports said.
Hebei police have formally charged 18 people who sold melamine to milk producers or sold contaminated milk, and detained at least a dozen other milk dealers, melamine traders, company officials and quality supervisors.
Government officials said Sanlu knew about the contamination of milk powder with melamine since March but didn't order a national recall of the powder until last week.
The World Health Organization (WHO) expressed satisfaction Sunday with the response of the Chinese government in containing the spread of the tainted infant milk.

FAIL at 10 percent. I give a book to the 10 percent mark to show me its worth the time to read it. This book didn't even come close. First, amature writers of sci-fi seem compelled to use random letters and use it as a name, bad idea. It adds nothing to the story and makes relating to the character all but impossible. The same for being telepathic. It has a name, no reason to dream up a bad mixture of nonsense letters just to,again make the story a pain to read.
Her is my tip to this author, I do NOT want to work to read your story, I read for enjoyment and RELAXING.
Finally, I can not imagine anyone giving this two stars much less five, unless it's friends, family or the author with multiple accounts.

This is a quick well written action packed space opera.. Based on name and plot I suspected something in the style of Neal Stephenson (you know Diamond Age due to nanomechs).. Well, there is some Stephenson in it, nanotechnology and loads of extremely unlikely ;-) action scenes that lead to the unexpected but optimal results..
[Spoiler Alert!] But there is also Herbert and Gibson (and I'd say more of those than Stephenson), a sped up Dune (with plots within plots within plots, seeded "fabricated" mythology that is expolited by the Chosen One) on Neuromancer (AI personages and cybermancers hacking through hypernet) steroids ;-)), an eclectic feast in the best sense of the word (for the record, I do like eclectic, it is a sign that the author got inspired by the best and, moreover, in 21st century, what is not eclectic, most likely pretends to be original yet hardly can be so as part of some 3000 years of recorded written tradition).

Farmers Markets are a tradition in Southern California and the Inland Empire is rich with these wonderful outdoor, open air markets that feature the very best in delicious foods, gourmet goodies, and homemade arts and crafts.
Inland Empire, CA (PRWEB) August 23, 2016
Brad Schmett, of Brad Schmett Real Estate Group and Keller Williams Realty today announced that the Claremont Farmers and Artisans Market, held on Sundays year-round, along with several other Inland Empire Farmer's Markets held on various days of each week is a big draw for local home buyers looking to have access to fresh produce and other healthy food items on a regular basis.
Big Bear City has a market on Tuesdays, Chino Hills on Wednesday, and Fontana on Fridays, with others such as Jurupa on Saturday and Hemet on Thursday making a virtually weeklong round of healthy eating. Farmers Markets are more than just local produce however. Nearly all have freshly made tamales, an array of olive oils, nuts and seeds, homemade soaps, Mediterranean foods, fresh breads and tortillas, and even arts and crafts.
Schmett recently commented, "Farmers Markets are a tradition in Southern California and the Inland Empire is rich with these wonderful outdoor, open air markets that feature the very best in delicious foods, gourmet goodies, and homemade arts and crafts. I know my own clients often ask me where and when the farmers markets are held in the towns where they are shopping for homes. Even celebrities love the local farmers markets and we often see photos of them with their families purchasing fresh blueberries or other treats from their own local markets in Los Angeles and Malibu. The California outdoor lifestyle loves fresh food!"
Farmers Markets are held in nearly every town in the Inland Empire, so there is sure to be one nearby. This is the perfect opportunity to spend a few hours out in the sunshine shopping for the finest in cooking ingredients.

Jacksonville church sign creates stir
(CLICK6ORLANDO.COM) JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A sign in front of a Mandarin church is getting a lot of attention. People stopping by are snapping pictures of it. Others are saying they're not surprised by the message because of the person who put it up.
It's on the marquee of First Conservative Baptist Church off Old St. Augustine Road. The pastor, Gene Youngblood, said he's just exercising his right to free speech.
The sign reads, "Homosexuals must repent or go to hell."
Some are appalled. Others say they are so used to seeing controversial messages up on the marquee that they have given up responding because they don't want to give the pastor the satisfaction.
Either way, the pastor said he has the right to say what's on this sign and hopes he can make a difference sharing what he says is the word of God.
Don't shoot the messenger. In a nutshell, that's what Youngblood wants everyone who doesn't like the sign to know.
"I think it's very sad that people that claim to be Christians are hate-mongers. And why can't people mind their own business and let people live their life the way they want to live it? They're not hurting anyone," an unidentified resident said.
Although Youngblood wouldn't talk on camera, he did write a three-page response to an interview request.
"Because we love people (yet, as directed in scripture to hate the sin), we therefore want to warn them of the coming judgment of God on the sin of homosexuality (and any other sin that is NOT repented of)," the statement reads.
"I think it's very unfortunate. We're told as Christians not to be judgmental, and I'd hate for somebody to decide my fate as they have decided certain people's fate in their statement. To me it's very unloving and very unchristian," Jane Roper said
Youngblood goes on to say he has a great love and concern for the city.
"It is my sincere prayer that perhaps 'ONE' practicing homosexual will have read our sign and will REPENT before it is too late and they are cast into HELL. HELL is a real place and anyone not believing in the reality of HELL will not change the temperature of the FLAMES a single degree," it reads.
"It's shameful for the whole city to have something like that out there," another unidentified resident said.
"I think they're extremely misled and misinformed," Roper said.
Youngblood said he changes the messages on this board frequently and that this one is no different than some of his other messages.

I have noticed in the last week that even if I sign off of the forum, I will sometimes return at another time or another day to find that I am logged in. Has anyone else experienced this behavior? I do not ask for my passwords to be rememberd by the computer just as a matter of course. This seems to travel from my computer at home to the one I'm on at work as well.
Is this something that I should wory about in terms of any security issues?
