Now I'm feeling more relieved about my account
Learning from the Paul's workshop of time management.I realised my problem is doing too much things at once.
I need to pay more attention to these Important & Not-urgent tasks, instead of just listing and piling all the tasks day by day. I hate to be a firefighter, I hate to push myself to meet the deadline, also I hate to stay up at night.
I really appreciated The Role thinking method, which helps me to clarify the most important goal for me this year: I am doing my Master and I am also a part of my families.
I've tried the Pomodoro last year when I was preparing for the language test. But it doesn't work because in most cases I just ignore it. I'd like to try 52/17 Timer and use a Habit Tracker to monitor my pattern. I think it's kinda interesting. I've downloaded and compared several APP in the past hours, and at last I just leave a simple & user-friendly one to be my assist.
OK, I would spend some time on meditation and then spent 25 mins to write what I've learned today in my reflective Blog. Deal!
My Curiosity drags me into Rabbit Holes
I'm quite frustrated right now. I feel unproductive because I'm easily distracted by EVERYTHING online. It is easy to find something interesting papers and books and before I know what has happened I run out of time to finish my tasks.
As Kathryn Schulz observed for The New Yorker in 2015, rabbit hole has further evolved into a metaphor for extreme distraction in the digital age: "These days, however, when we say that we fell down the rabbit hole, we seldom mean that we wound up somewhere psychedelically strange. We mean that we got interested in something to the point of distraction—usually by accident, and usually to a degree that the subject in question might not seem to merit."
I was told to regard my curiosity as a great strength, but now I have to be careful about it. The biggest strength might turn out to be the biggest weakness as well.
Interesting talks as follows:

Daily chat
I know I am not good at time management, or you could say energy management.
My former leader he told some ways but I still find myself unproductive somehow. So I attended a workshop called organise your time last weekend. Fruitfully, I not only gain some insights but also make a new friend Sofia, a girl from Greece. Oculus O.02 is my favorite classroom to meet nice people I have to say, so lucky.
Back on my topic, now I can differentiatethe GOAL/PROJECT between the TASK. But the timetable on my Warwick APP still sucks I have no idea to do with it. So I download Todoist to make a schedule for myself. More user-friendly and more flexible.
I used another APP Sleep Cycle to monitor my Sleep Quality, but every morning I get up I was shocked that how bad the quality was on my sleep last night. It just frustrated me. Sorry Goodbye~
There are something wrong with my body health these days, but I got many comfort from my close friends at home. I started to cook by myself, and posted daily meals on an APP for the sake of record. I am going to making friends with food and my body.
I live on campus where just 6mins away the WMG building. My mates living in downtown spend over 2 hrs. on commute~~I know how is feeling, over the past three years, I totally understand!
But I need to make the most of this advantage, so far I don't think I make it. I will make a plan anyway~
Life is tough due to cooking, study is tough because of the group work. I have no idea how to deal with these two presentation on Thu and Fri, well, let's see how it goes. But I will do my best anyway, and Sofia just told me she didn't sleep a wink last night for a lab report. Oh no~
I went to the dirty duck this noon for the free lunch offered by MetaSwtich~ sorry~but they are cold. But, I took a testing paper from their test team which is really interesting. The questions on that are really critical and novel, wow, that's the way UK company seeking for the right people. Got it.
Well~ It's quite difficult to stick to my goals-keep writing every day. But I love reflection, which enables me to know How MUCH I know, as well as how LITTLE I know.
But there're so many things and so many Aha moments I wanna to write it down and share with my friends and colleagues at home and abroad.
Teaching & Studying Models I've went through so far:(There is no judgement, only preference)
1. You are supposed to believe what's been told in class, and the school cares about how much you receied in class, and then evaluate you by scoring.
2. Your tutor is a facilitator. They prefer to be critized and challenged by your critical thing. Be sceptical to everything you've been taught. You are not studying for one particular knowledge, rather, you are learning how to learn.
I prefer the latter one, because I was meant to go to bed early by ten yesterday. However, I was surprised that the more I learned, the more I feel thrilled about this topic. I try to make a link between these knowledge or theories with my previous experience. I try to find out WHY I am/was thinking in these ways.
But I don't wanna be a night owl~I wanna be a early bird though. Those peopel I know and admire are used to getting up early in the morning, like two of my former Colleauges Rich and Cai, some brilliant students in Cambridge, Harvard. I am not going to follow their path, but I hope I could make the most of life from the very beginning of the day.
Competition VS Cooperation
As a student here, I don't need to show my capability by competing over others. The course tutor try to reduce any competiton among the class and encourage more cooperation. Quoted from Paul, we all have two ears, two eyes, and one mouth, and make sure you understand others before being understood. Exactly! I cannot agree with him more. I am gonna making more efforts to listening and understanding others because I believe I can learn more from my peers than my tutors under certain circumstances.
When it comes to competition within an organization, say I am the manager of one dept. It's not uncommon that I wanna make my dept stand out in this company. But it's absolutely WRONG! As a part of the whole system( system thinking), my goal should be the success of the whole organization, not my dept. There is no point making a excellent dept, but it's the whole group that matters. What a pity that I didn't know that before attending any meetings with senior managers, now I wanna observe how these managers propose the problems occured in their teams and how do they sort out a solution for the organizational issue. I will ask my colleauges hahaha.
Effective Leadership
I am the lucky one because I've been working with three top managers in Lumi. Compared with other assistants, I have more autonomy and flexibility. In most cases, I was assigned with goals, but specific tasks.
As an effective leader, how do you motivate and inspire, or stimulate your staff? Quoted again from Paul, what we can do is to create a suitable environment for our workers, where they can grow and reach their potentials. For example, we are growing plants. We don't need to select the best seed, but we give them enough sunshine, run, fresh air and fertilizer to help them grow.
How can I be heard as a junior/ How can I make a difference on the organization
One person can never change the whole system, not even the CEO. But you can make a influence on the people around you. Of course, those peole in return will have some impact on you too. Gradually, you two small group will grow into many groups and become bigger and bigger until one day the top manager team will see the change.

Proctor is well known as one of the least formal of all the New England boarding schools. Students call faculty and staff by their first names (read Boomer's '17 post on this!), we do not have formal, sit down meals as a community, and daily dress code is relatively relaxed (neat and clean makes the cut). While there are numerous benefits to this informality (not the least of which is happy and comfortable students and faculty), sometimes it's nice to get dressed up, and Spring Formal provides just the opportunity!
Held the final weekend before seniors depart for Senior Project, Spring Formal is the product of an amazing collaboration between our Student Activities office (thank you Erica for your efforts!), our events personnel (thank you Debbie!), the Proctor Academy Parent Association (PAPA), and all of the faculty and staff who helped make both the Green Carpet celebration, dinner, and dance a success.
The Green Carpet photo-op in front of the Wise Center and old Holland Auditorium allows parents and students an opportunity to pose for pictures and capture friend groups all together looking their best.
The beauty of Proctor's formal is the informality of it all. Unlike most proms, 'formal' outfits run from tuxedos and gowns to shorts and flip flops. There is no right or wrong way to dress, just as there is no right or wrong way to find a date. Naturally, some couples go together after a fun and creative 'proposal' during assembly, but the majority of students go to formal with friends, or as a group.
Reports from this weekend's Spring Formal were unimous that it was one of the best ever. Thanks to everyone who made it happen, including Ragged Mountain Resort for hosting and our students for dancing the night away!

The upgrade to the PlayStation 4, the PlayStation 5 will be arriving during holidays in 2020. This means the launch will be closer to Microsoft's Xbox 2 console in November or December 2020. Although we do not have more details about the hardware specifications of the PlayStation 5 however, Sony has revealed that the new console will come with a new enhanced DualShock controller and probably might be called DualShock 5.
The new PlayStation 5 controller will feature haptic feedback that will replace the "rumble" technology found in controllers since the 5th generation of consoles. With haptics, the crashing into a wall in a race car feels much different than making a tackle on the football field. You can even get a sense of a variety of textures when running through fields of grass or plodding through mud.
The second innovation on the controller is called adaptive triggers by Sony. These are incorporated into the trigger buttons (L2/R2). These triggers can be programmed by game developers which give the feel of tactile sensation while drawing a bow and arrow or accelerating an off-road vehicle on rocky terrain. Sony has shared the new controllers with Game developers for their feedback and the use of these new enhancements in their games.

It was only seven seasons ago that the Associated Press started giving out an award for the top assistant coach in the NFL, following the guide of the NCAA's own Broyles award. Not surprisingly, all six winners of the AP Assistant Coach of the Year award have been coordinators, and four of them were hired as head coaches the following year.
But the NFL has a golden opportunity to change that this year, and with good reason, by giving the award to Cowboys offensive line coach Joe Philbin. It's often hard to assess the relative value of position coaches, but every now and then a situation presents itself wherein it's undeniable that a position coach had a big impact. For example, Eagles quarterbacks coach John DeFilippo nearly got hired as a head coach after the Eagles rode backup Nick Foles to a Super Bowl victory.
The Cowboys might not be ready to plan any parades in downtown Dallas just yet, but they're in a similar position with Philbin and this offensive line. Obviously, the Cowboys have incurred some serious injuries to their offensive line, and when Connor Williams went down for a play in Sunday's win over Philadelphia it cemented one fact: not a single one of the Cowboys' original starting five in the trenches when the season kicked off has managed to avoid an injury, even a small one.
In fact, the Cowboys have had 10 different offensive linemen playing on offense at various points this season, and that's without counting La'el Collins. Terence Steele, an undrafted rookie from Texas Tech who barely made the final roster, has taken the most snaps of any offensive tackle this year; Williams, who has faced competition for his starting job each of the last two years, currently leads all Dallas linemen in total offensive snaps. Zack Martin missed a week with a concussion, later moved to right tackle to take over for the struggling Steele, and then got hurt again before being added to the injured reserve.
And yet, the offensive line is not in shambles. Far from it, actually. In the last six games, the Cowboys have allowed 10 sacks, with three of those coming against the Washington Football Team's vaunted pass rush. For comparison's sake, they allowed three sacks in each of Andy Dalton's first two starts, a much higher rate than they've been giving up lately. In fact, their adjusted sack rate after Sunday's game is 5.7%, the 12th best figure in the NFL.
But what's more impressive is that the offensive line has managed to excel in the run game. Despite all the changes along the line, the Cowboys rank 12th in run block win rate. Before both went down with injuries, Martin and rookie center Tyler Biadasz were in the top among their positions in individual run block win rate, while both Williams and Connor McGovern have spent at least a week each among the top ten in run block win rate among guards. As a whole, the offensive line ranks ninth in adjusted line yards and 12th in power success rate.
On a larger scale, the Cowboys have been able to put up some really solid offensive performances lately while working with this patchwork offensive line. In the first four games since Dak Prescott was lost for the season, the Cowboys offense posted a negative total expected points (EPA) in each game. That included 12 sacks, an average of 164.5 passing yards per game, and 114.25 rushing yards per game. Since then, the Cowboys offense has posted a positive total EPA in every game but their loss to Washington. Over that stretch, the Cowboys have allowed ten sacks, averaged 253.3 passing yards a game, and 89.8 rushing yards a game.
This offensive line, after incurring so many injuries to their key starters, should have become an Achilles heel that tore a hole in the offensive gameplan every week. And while that was the case for a few weeks, Philbin was able to devise a really good plan of attack alongside Mike McCarthy and Kellen Moore to maximize the talent they had with this hodgepodge group of players.
And now the Cowboys are entering Week 17 with a chance at making the playoffs, due in large part to their offense being able to score points consistently. With the offensive line's improvement, Dalton has been able to get into a groove and find his talented receivers down the field. But none of that could have happened without this offensive line hitting their stride, a seemingly impossible feat on paper. Philbin has pulled off a miracle in his handling of this line and all its injuries, and he certainly deserves recognition for it. That's why the NFL should recognize him as their Assistant Coach of the Year.

Our tutors at All Stars ABC can help your child learn effective reading strategies that will help prevent them from failing in their literacy education.
We work in conjunction with your child's teachers in order to best assist your child. We will focus our efforts to align with Florida's state common core standards.

Soon, you will see that your child will be more efficient in completing their homework and projects and will be able to devote more time to studying for the big exams.
Does your child struggle to stay on top of all of the homework assignments, due dates for projects, and exam dates? Are his or her school folders and papers messy and disorganized? Worry no more. Our tutors can assist your child in developing organizational strategies to sort out their school work, develop an effective calendar to mark important due dates and test dates all which will result in peace of mind for both you as the parents and your child most importantly.

Mind and Consciousness Scientific Research confirms that there is life after death.
A division of Perceptual Studies (DOPS) at University of Virginia Health System. the Department of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences is internationally known for their integrity in investigation of nature of consciousness and its relationship to the physical world.
It's important we consider where we are going when this life on earth comes to an end. By giving this lifetime meaning. We begin to give new meaning to all relationships. Quality of relationship becomes priority. We stop just filling in time. We begin to value the time we have on earth to live life fully.
When Mind and Consciousness Scientific Research supports spiritual beliefs of reincarnation we prioritise quality of friendships.
We recognise that we have limited time to understand our place on earth. Everything we touch now has different texture. Touch has new depth. We feel what we have never felt before. This new awareness takes us in a completely new direction. Taking new direction does not necessarily mean a new profession. Our profession is like any other tool. When we use that tool differently we can get superior results. But remember on the way, you correct. Using a new tool often begins with trial and error. Or with correction. Why? Because we a aiming for a different outcome. This means we are adjusting our perception as we view the result of our effort. This the becomes our meditation. Meditation means expanding our focus. Meditation as a means to a new reality. It is not an escape from reality that most people experience. When you escape reality you shut yourself off. Shutting ourselves off from consciousness results in stagnation.
Mind and Consciousness Scientific Research found that these are not just some isolated anomaly.
We just cannot ignore these findings. Or quarantine them out of you reality. In my work people frequently connect with spirits or souls. Some souls of those who passed on. Others of their living or family and friends. Some with their own soul that caresses them. Indigenous cultures have initiations to connect people to their spirit. Spirit consciousness gives meaning to all aspects of life including relationships with one another and the environment. We have lost that. We have taken that away from indigenous people. this is why they suffer so much. When our spirit hurts from separation, we hurt. We suffer mentally and physically. They even become aware of the presence of their living friends in the room with us. For some they see them as physical beings. Others reported thinking of that person over and over again while experiencing phenomenal feelings. Still other see their friends supporting them in the session by providing their energy. All this influences my depths of research. Yes on the way I come across fluffy versions of interpretations. Very quickly we know what to identify as ignorance on behalf of the poster. Remember – opinions and beliefs are founded on someone else's beliefs. Don't be a follower of someone's beliefs. Be supporter of validated experiences. Go outside the general social conditioning. 95% of the world in state of amnesia. The other 5% are in state of self exploration and appreciation of neverending expansion into joy of awakening. Mind and Consciousness Scientific Research did just that with actual data. Mind and Consciousness Scientific Research interviewed children who reported remembering their previous lives. Internet is filled with quick fixes from tantric sex to devoting yourself to a guru. These are sold as stairway to heaven. This attitude perpetuates amnesia of entire human population.
Mind and Consciousness Scientific Research are rethinking how the brain works.
Our everyday consciousness ankers our brain. Brain conditions mind but it does not generate new ways of living. When we realise this we stop being careless about our physical life. We consider our eternity. We decide to grow into our human kindness. My experiences with my clients led me to do deeper research. If it wasn't for them I would just believe the status quo. Or would just accept any guru who would manipulate my thoughts to have me follow them. Never be a follower. But be an appreciator of people who offer their skills and wisdom while enhancing your skills and wisdom. University-based leading edge research group is the most devoted exclusively to investigating survival of consciousness after death. One of the books "Evidence of the Afterlife : The Science of Near-Death Experiences" is a good place to begin if you at all serious about knowing. My personal near death experience was also a catalyst to continue searching so you don't have to wait for your near death experience. Learn from others so you don't have to go through trauma you are not prepared for. As I dig deeper. I am never disappointed. In my childhood I thought everyone could see. Feel feel what I could. Comprehend what I could. It is a natural ability in all of us. At that age I did not understand how most people were repressed. How they were prevented from accessing that part of themselves. Mos of the world is in state of amnesia. This is create by trauma of being conditioned. By systematic education. By chemical in our food that suppresses our consciousness. By lack of nutrients in our soil. By religious beliefs. By Social and family environment. It took many many years of experiences with my clients to refine my work to where it is now. Im grateful of Mind and Consciousness Scientific Research conducted by credible scientists.
Science of Non-duality.
Now, often I can often connect people to that aspect of wisdom within them in the first session. With the ones who struggle to do so, I set them on a program. Designed to cleanse the embedded toxins that interfere with their ability to connect. Mind and Consciousness Scientific Research gives people confidence. It helps validate their suspicions of fake teaches and unaware life coaches.
Mind and Consciousness Scientific Research gives our suspicions credibility. Gives us strength to step out of the flow. Get of the train that's locked on it's tracks and broaden your horizons.

This seminar is organised by the Franciscan Institute for the culture of peace from Split. Fr. Ivan Sesar, the President of the Councils of Franciscan Communities from Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, welcomed all who came to participate, among them many who were to give their lectures. "I would like to express my joy because of organisation of this seminar because I hope that at least some would discover the danger of addiction on gambling and fortune games through these professional lectures. I think that this seminar is needed to today's modern men and to the society that has increasing number of addicts with each day." This seminar was intended to all those who desired to get to know more about the phenomenon of increasing pathological addiction on fortune games, either because of their professional or personal reasons, to all who wanted to become more proficient in handling addicts around them, to get to know the mechanism of how one person becomes an addict, to get to know the wisdom of prevention, programmes and institutions for rehabilitation of those addicts. The seminar was also useful to all those who wanted to learn more about the scientific pathology of modern civilisation of consumerism.

Emergence of Digitization
COVID-19 Pandemic caused a sudden shift away from the physical to online classroom in many parts of the globe. Some education institutions wonder whether the adoption of online learning will continue to persist post-pandemic, and how such a shift would impact the education market. Meanwhile, City University responded to a new normal by developing its own digital learning platform – Learning Management System (LMS).
"To be honest I have not spent much time on campus due to COVID-19 pandemic", says Muneer Abdulhameed Albanna from Yemen. "I only studied one semester on-campus and after that the classes were digitized. LMS classes are good and we understand our lectures very well. Whenever students need something, the lecturers will always be there to assist and explain. Lecturers keep the students engaged during the class with discussions, practical tasks and occasional jokes and we enjoy joining the classes online". Esra is a second year student, pursuing Bachelor of Communication (Hons) in Mass Communication.
There are a total of 8 niche faculties with dedicated experienced teaching staff at City University. LMS helps the academicians and students of City University to adopt and practice new education technologies in a convenient and interactive way. The university conducts pre-university programmes, graduate and postgraduate degrees as in Master, DBA, PhD via Learning Management System (LMS) from 2020, allowing students to continue their studies during pandemic from anywhere.
"Using LMS for studies is very comfortable. The system helps keep students updated about the assignment due dates, quizzes and also activities. The time difference between my home country Egypt and Malaysia is 6 hours. Some classes will be ongoing after midnight. In situations like that, I will use the recording option in LMS. The next morning, I will watch the class recording to take notes and details about the assignment. With the help of LMS, now I can join my classes and focus my academics from anywhere, anytime", says Saleh Mahmoud Ashour, first year student from Egypt in Bachelor of Computer Science.
Even though the change from physical to online classes was unplanned and rapid, City University managed to respond to the challenges and improve student wellfare. The determination in helping students to achieve their academic goals and convergence to transformation is what made City University take the initiative for digitization. Now, City University offers its students accessible, convenient and real time learning insight through the Learning Management System (LMS).

Clinical Guidelines for Weight Loss
"Nothing is Optimal In Isolation"
Many people choose to tackle weight gain and the sluggish metabolism that goes with it using some type of diet and exercise program. These are excellent tools. However, there are other techniques that can make your weight loss goals easier to achieve, and will contribute to greater overall health.
One of these techniques is Colon Hydrotherapy. Colon Hydrotherapy addresses two of the most important causes of weight gain: a sluggish liver and stagnant lymph flow. The liver is the largest internal organ in the body, weighing between three and four pounds, and it is the major fat-burning organ. When we eat the wrong foods, the liver will actually produce more fat and store the excess. According to Kristina Amelong, Certified Colon Therapist, "When you diet, you release toxins into the colon that are reabsorbed by the liver. This is one of the factors that makes you crave the foods that you are trying to stay away from." When we cleanse the liver directly through colon therapy, liver metabolism improves and we start burning fat more fully. As liver function improves, so does energy. More energy results in a domino effect: we naturally feel like moving and exercising more which leads to improved muscle tone and more metabolically active muscles, which in turn burn fat on a continual basis.
The second factor of weight gain is lymphatic stagnation. Stagnation is also easily addressed by colonics. The lymphatic system is a network of delicate vessels spread throughout the body which transport a clear milky fluid that carries cellular waste to the colon and kidneys for elimination. This system is literally the body's sewer system and needs to be kept clear and flowing. It has a tendency to stagnate when its consistency becomes thick with cellular debris, toxins, bacteria/ viruses and dietary fats. According to Isake Lockett, Colon Therapist and Medical Esthetician, "this thickened lymph easily stagnates and can contribute not only to fatigue and malaise, but also to weight gain, especially around the abdomen, hips and buttocks. The stagnation may also cause water retention with cellulite".
As mentioned earlier, the lymph's main job is to remove the waste created during biological processes. After the waste is processed by the kidneys, it empties into the small intestines, passes into the large intestine, and out of the body with the feces. When the intestinal walls are impacted, the lymph system retains and continuously recirculates the cellular waste. The prolific number of lymph nodes in the abdominal region are also forced to become storage points for the waste. The clear fluid becomes cloudy and thick, gradually changing in consistency from watery to milky to a curd-like consistency. In addition to being cosmetically unappealing and encouraging weight gain, lymph becomes a health threat. This toxic waste is the ideal environment for the onset of numerous illnesses, including cancer. Colonics help keep the intestinal walls clear of impactions, which allow the lymph vessels to function normally.
What exactly is a Colon Hydrotherapy treatment? It is a gentle washing of the large intestine with purified water. The client is asked to lie on a massage table. The colon hydrotherapy machine slowly moves water into the colon, and then releases the water and any waste into the plumbing system. As the water is released from the body through an illuminated glass viewing tube, the abdominal area is thoroughly massaged. This process is repeated during the 30-45 minute treatment. One session uses approximately 30-45 gallons of water. To insure maximum sanitation reputable centres like the Optimal Health Center use all disposable equipment. The process is completely comfortable, time tested, professional, and a dignified way to take care of your digestive centre.
Colon cleansing, along with diet and exercise, is an excellent tool to achieve and maintain your ideal weight. As you move waste out of your body more quickly, and often more efficiently with colonics, you feel better, shed excess pounds, clean up lymph, and lose lumpy cellulite. This in itself will increase the motivation to stick to your weight loss program.

Tilapia is the typical name for almost a hundred types of cichlid fish from the tilapiine cichlid tribe. Tilapia are mainly freshwater fish living in shallow streams, ponds, rivers and lakes and less commonly discovered living in brackish water. Historically, they have been of major value in artisanal fishing in Africa, and they are of increasing importance in aquaculture and aquaponics.
Tilapia can end up being a bothersome invasive types in brand-new warm-water environments such as Australia, whether deliberately or inadvertently introduced, however generally not in temperate environments due to their failure to endure in cold water.
Can You Eat Tilapia During Pregnancy?
Tilapia is the 4th most consumed fish in the United States dating back to 2002. The appeal of tilapia happened due to its low price, simple preparation, and its mild taste. You might wisely fret about fish intake during pregnancy since of the risk of mercury contamination and possible impacts on your baby.
- When picking oily fish, remember that they can include some environmental pollutants, such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and dioxins. So attempt not to have more than two parts a week.
- Oily fish benefits you, so it's still essential to include it in your meals. It consists of omega-3 fatty acids and other vitamins and nutrients that benefit you and your developing baby.
- Other types of fish and shellfish may have similar levels of dioxins and PCBs to oily fish. These are sea bream, turbot, halibut, dogfish (similarly called huss or rock salmon), crab and sea bass. Restriction your parts of these fish to two parts a week.
Pregnant women do need to see their fish intake and limit intake of fish high in mercury. Thankfully, both salmon and tilapia fall under the category of fish with a low-mercury content. You can eat both fish while pregnant, within suggested quantities.
Almost all seafood contains some mercury, a pollutant released into the air as part of industrial waste that can infect the water. In the water, mercury changes into methylmercury, which collects in fish who feed in the waters.
Big fish that eat smaller sized fish and who live longer might have greater levels of methylmercury. While methylmercury does not impact many people, it might impact your baby's developing brain.
So, if somebody asks you 'Can I eat tilapia while pregnant' you can answer: 'Yes.'
Suggested Limits
For fish that contain the lowest quantities of mercury, the United States Department of Health and Human Services recommends limiting your intake to two portions or 12 oz. each week. Fish low in mercury include not only salmon and tilapia however likewise canned light tuna, catfish and cod.
Other types of seafood in this classification include shrimp, crab, clams and oysters. Fish high in mercury, such as swordfish, include a mean of 0.87 parts per countless methylmercury, compared with 0.022 ppm for salmon and 0.013 pp for tilapia, the United States FDA reports.
Eating tilapia in specific can have favorable advantages in pregnancy, since it's a fatty fish. Fatty fish consist of more fish oil, which consists of important omega-3 fatty acids docosohexaenoic acid, or DHA, and eicosapentaenoic acid, or EPA.
The most typical omega-3 fat in the brain and eyes, DHA specifically plays an essential role in fetal brain development. Tilapia has a lower omega-3 fatty acid content than salmon and a higher quantity of hydrogenated fats.
Diet Tips
Farm-raised tilapia may not have the same omega-3 benefits as wild tilapia unless they've been fed a diet high in DHA. If possible, choose wild tilapia over farm-raised.
Farmed tilapia, the most extensively farmed fish has a less favorable fat composition than salmon, given that it contains bigger quantities of omega-6 fatty acid to omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-6 fatty acids might have inflammatory impacts compared to omega-3 fatty acids, which reduce inflammation.

Fairfax – The Marin Museum of Bicycling
The Marin Museum of Bicycling is an institution that preserves the history of bicycles and culture. It's home to many incredible pieces, such as bike frames from 1900 and one-of-a-kind mountain bikes dating back decades before they became popular.
The Marin Museum of Bicycling has something to delight both cyclists and non-cyclists alike in Fairfax, California. A highlight is the Igler Collection which includes original examples from the 1860s-1890s with fascinating evolution thereof on display! Another great feature at this Bicycle History Museum/Cultural Center is the Mountain Bike Hall Of Fame, where they celebrate mountain bikers who have made history by riding these technically demanding trails across America.
This museum is a place where you can find anything from the early days to now. From old bikes that are worth more as pieces of history to new groundbreaking technology in transportation modes. They have a diverse range from the 20th-century road, track touring bicycles all the way back in time with some original 19th-century items too.
This Bicycle Museum, situated at 1966 Sir Francis Drake Boulevard in Fairfax, was established as an independent nonprofit organization by friends who were excited about preserving biking's rich past for generations ahead, starting with their own children. Working closely with their sister location at Crested Butte College, they began designing displays that showcase some incredible bikes from 1868 onward; these are all on loan from private collectors or museums around the US, including George Hogshead's collection, which includes antique racing automobiles dating back before race tracks even existed.
The Marin Museum of Bicycling is an all-volunteer-run museum that specializes in providing visitors with rich displays and information about bicycles. Tour guides are usually available to give tours for about 1 hour, so plan accordingly if your visit will only be brief or have specific areas you want to explore more deeply. Whether enthusiast or novice rider–you can't help but gain greater understanding & appreciation from this experience.
The Bike Museum is also an event rental place that can make your special occasion even more memorable. This space has abundant natural light with high ceilings for optimum airflow to keep you cool. You can hold gatherings here while helping support their mission at this museum which strives to preserve California's legacy as one of America's top cycling regions.
The space is perfect for events like meetings, lectures, and movies. This beautiful venue can be configured with tables to suit your needs; it also has an extensive library filled with cycling books which you're free to browse while waiting in line at the reception desk or bar.

Nipsey Hussle's Last Video with DJ Khaled and John Legend
May 16, 2019 12:49 PM
Nipsey Hussle's final day on a video was spent with Dj Khaled and John Legend and it was uplifting and almost spiritual. They didn't know that a few days later he would be gunned down outside his Marathon clothing store outside LA.
The song 'Higher' will be on Khaled's album 'Father of Asahd' expected to be launched on Friday. John said the music was beautiful when he wrote a tribute tweet for Nipsey and Khaled said all the money made from the music will be going to Nipsey's children.
Nipsey is gone too soon, it is so sad to see a hardworking Black man die like that.
The video is expected to do well as it was professionally done and Nipsey was wearing a head-to-toe blue suit.
Check out video snippet from the upcoming music video.
The 33 year old tall LA rapper was shot and killed outside of his Marathon Clothing store earlier in Los Angeles. He reportedly got several shots and was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead. 2 other persons were also shot and hospitalized.
One of the most talked about rappers of 2018, He's loved by rap fans in America and around the world for his music and hussle. He was not a pop nor rap star hence most persons don't know of the name but he was one of the top independent artistes in the world.
Many HipHop and rap critics claims that his Album "Victory Lap" should have won the grammy instead of Cardi B's Album. He was nominated for the "Best Rap Album".
Nipsey Hussle's Killer Arrested
Arrested some 20 miles away from the crime scene after the police had put out a wanted warrant earlier for 29 years Eric Holder, he was on the run for 2 days. It's not clear how the police got a hold of Nipsey's suspected killer. Holder has since plead not guilty in Nipsy's killing and is expected to go on trial soon.

The Wind Began To Howl is a two-player, tabletop version of Bob Dylan's song "All Along The Watchtower."
It's 22 pages, with a gorgeous cover, lush layout, and great art.
Gameplay is optionally GMless, and players are supposed to tell their own stories, stepping in and out of the GM role, and work towards a shared narrative.
That said, Wind also runs on the Blades In The Dark engine, so there's a bit of crunch to it. You've got clocks, stats, dice pools, a meta currency, etc.
You don't use any of them until you're at the finale, though, at which point you basically do a job from Blades, improvised on the spot.
The PDF does explain all the mechanics you need to know, so you don't need a copy of Blades to play Wind, but the explanation is towards the back and I found myself rereading the first half of the PDF a couple of times to see if I had missed it.
Overall, Wind confused me for a bit, but that's only because I went into it not knowing what to expect. Go in expecting GMless two-player Blades In The Dark about attacking a watchtower, and you'll do fine.
Also go in expecting gorgeous art and layout.
I really can't overstate that. Everything in Wind looks really lovely.

Go into any brand agency creative session and pretty soon you're likely to hear the question, 'What's the big idea?' — often followed by head-scratching and an emergency call for caffeine.
But 'What's the big idea?' is, appropriately, the biggest question of any brand campaign.
Answering it means finding a single, strong idea to underpin the entire campaign. An idea that makes the work memorable, consistent, targeted and easy to understand. And, of course, successful.
At least that's the theory.
Not that a big idea guarantees success, but without one, your results are likely to be haphazard and untargeted — a case where positive outcomes are driven by luck rather than planning.
So if the Big IdeaTM is vital for marketing campaigns, the question is: should your brand have one, too?
Imagine if every applicant, colleague and customer could understand your brand from a single sentence or one 30-second ad.
Almost immediately, they'd know if you were a brand worth investigating, if your values matched theirs and if you were worth spending money on. This is the power of a big idea — it makes you identifiable, convincing and likeable to your target market.
Likeability is a simple yet often overlooked trait of all successful brands, and it stems from conveying a singular central narrative that runs throughout the business.
Nike's 'Just do it' isn't just a slogan. It's a gauntlet-throwing challenge to its customers. It's a motivational rallying cry for its colleagues. It's a brand guideline for its creative partners. It's a summation of the entire business. And it's only three little words.
Which makes it one heck of a big idea.
If big ideas work for brands as well as creative campaigns, how do you go about finding yours? Well, the world of marketing has no shortage of options.
Missions, visions, value propositions, finding your why and brand archetypes are the facets of brand articulation. At Woven, we craft all the above in service of one thing: uncovering the essence of what you stand for so we can get to your brand's big idea.
Discover more about brand archetypes
For Feed Me Seymour — an ambitious start-up that sends Michelin Star-quality food tailored to your personal health requirements directly to your desk — our big idea was literally 'DNA': Delicious. Nutritious. Accessible.
From these three words, Feed Me Seymour will build their brand around gastronomic imagery, personalised nutrition and a pricing model that makes their product as accessible as possible.
This big idea was supported by giving Feed Me Seymour a brand archetype — a personality type that inspires the brand's values and marketing communications and that makes them easily identifiable and relatable to their target audience. For example, Paddy Power is a Joker archetype (irreverent, chatty, silly), while Rolls Royce is a Ruler (confident, responsible, trusted).
A brand archetype helps businesses tell their stories in clearer, more single-minded ways, making them more identifiable and appealing to those who share the same values and perspectives.
We gave Seymour 'The Explorer' archetype to position them as a brand that champions freedom and adventure — so they can align with and appeal to those who want the same things out of life.
Feed Me Seymour: a brand good enough to eat
We opened up this piece from the perspective of a creative session — but, if done properly, a brand's big idea is born long before such sessions take place (even if it hasn't yet been properly articulated yet).
At Woven, big ideas are the result of taking the time to truly understand our clients — their ambitions and challenges, their audiences, and any competitor and industry insights that may influence achieving their goals. This is what a brand's core strategy, narrative and creative output stems from.
Finding your brand's big idea involves researchers, strategists and creatives. It involves self-reflection, workshops, interviews with your colleagues. It involves getting on the psychologist's chaise longue and working out why you exist — and what your customers need from you.
The big ideas, after all, stem from asking yourself the big questions.
And the end result? It only has to be a few words. Sure, they're backed up by reasoning and research and strategy, all that good stuff — but the actual thing is often just a few scant syllables. Barely even a sentence.
But it's your brand's big idea — and it's priceless.
One reason why it's priceless is because it lets you do that ever-so-buzzwordy thing, 'storytelling'.
As your strategic and creative guiding star, your big idea acts like a film's director or orchestra's conductor, focusing and funneling your thoughts and efforts into a singular — and therefore memorable — brand identity.
The alternative is a scattergun approach of random ideas, semiotics and messaging that leaves audiences confused or, worse, uncaring.
Armed with a big idea, you can convey a coherent brand message across any asset. One that speaks loud and clear to your demographic, one that represents what you stand for, and one that can be summed up in just a few words.
It's not easy. It takes time, collaboration and introspection. But finding your big idea might be the best branding move you ever make.
If you want to find — and tell — your big idea, get in touch to organise a free brand archetype workshop with our strategy team.

Another month has come and gone and we are now somehow halfway through 2021! I can't wrap my head around that fact. This has been another busy month for me, work-wise, so I haven't had as much reading time as I would have liked.
But I did get on a plane for the first time in almost a year! That was a very surreal experience, but it did mean visiting two airports, and I can never resist an airport bookshop! Also, flying is just the perfect time to enjoy a good book.
I read 10 books this month, once again all physical books:
Homegoing, by Yaa Gyasi
The Handmaid's Tale, by Margaret Atwood
The Cows, by Dawn O'Porter
The Ice, by Laline Paull
The Sanatorium, by Sarah Pearse
The House Between Tides, by Sarah Maine
The Road Trip, by Beth O'Leary
Everything I Know About Love, by Dolly Alderton
And Then There Were None, by Agatha Christie
The Longest Winter, by Kevin Sullivan
And I am currently reading Shirley, by Charlotte Bronte.
This was a great month of reading for me, as I rated three of the above books 5 stars, and the rest all 4 stars. My favourites this month were The Road Trip and The Cows.
How many books did you read this month? Any new favourites?

Former Leicester City star defender Frank Sinclair has provided a glowing assessment of the way the 2019/20 Premier League season could pan out for the Foxes.
Brendan Rodgers' men opened the new campaign by going unbeaten through their opening four matches as they followed up draws against Wolves and Chelsea with wins over Sheffield United and Bournemouth.
Whilst Leicester suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat at Manchester United in their first loss of the league season to date last weekend, the consensus among fans and pundits alike is that Rodgers' side are expected to challenge the top six this term.
This is a viewpoint shared by Sinclair, who won the League Cup with the Foxes during a stint at the club from 1998 to 2004.
The 47-year-old feels that this current campaign is the most exciting for Leicester since they won the league during the 2015/16 season and could end with a trip to Europe.
"Leicester can challenge further up the top of the table this season. They have followed up their form from the back end of last term and look really good despite the defeat at Manchester United," Sinclair, who was speaking on behalf of GentingBet, told LeicestershireLive.
"It's the most exciting Leicester season since they won the title. Jamie Vardy is looking like the player he was when they did win the league. When you look at their manager in Brendan Rodgers he is terrific and he is helping the situation.
"Even though they lost one of the best centre-backs in the Premier League in Harry Maguire, they still look like a solid team that are playing on the break with pace.
"I'd be surprised if they didn't challenge for the top six positions this season. Making it into Europe would be a great season for them.
"There is a long way to go but if they continue in the same way they have been, the ambition should be to finish in the top six this season and I think they can do it."

Senate HELP leaders introduce Lower Health Care Costs Act
Sens. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., and Patty Murray, D-Wash., today introduced the Lower Health Care Costs Act (S.1895), legislation to prevent surprise medical bills, reduce prescription drug prices, improve transparency in health care, invest in public health and improve health information exchange. The bill holds patients harmless from surprise medical bills and, in an update from the draft legislation, uses a benchmark rate to resolve payment disputes between plans and out-of-network providers. Under that provision, health plans would pay providers the median in-network contracted amount that insurers have negotiated with other providers in that geographic area, according to a section-by-section summary of the bill.
"The AHA applauds Chairman Alexander, Ranking Member Murray and the Senate HELP Committee for their continued commitment to protecting patients," said AHA Executive Vice President Tom Nickels. "The Lower Health Care Costs Act includes critical provisions to hold patients harmless from surprise medical bills, including for air ambulance transport.
"At the same time, the reliance on a benchmark payment rate for providers is unworkable, and we strongly urge the committee to reconsider. Arbitrary, government-dictated reimbursement would result in significant unintended consequences for patients and create a disincentive for insurers to maintain adequate provider networks, particularly in rural America.
"Similarly, certain restrictions on contracting could lead to even more narrow networks with fewer provider choices for patients, while adversely affecting access to care at rural and community hospitals serving vulnerable communities.
"We remain supportive of the committee's proposals to make important investments in public health, including efforts to improve maternal health outcomes. We also appreciate the committee's focus on enhancing health information technology while protecting patient privacy.
"Lastly, we support provisions to lower the price of prescription drugs for both patients and the providers who care for them.
"We look forward to our continued work with the committee to make health care and coverage more affordable."
The Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee expects to mark up the legislation on June 26.
