I was a freshman in college when I met Carly. She was a senior and so much more sophisticated than me. She was every college boys dream and my dad was so nervous every time he was around her. I felt so small in her presence.
Carly had long brown curly hair, so shiny and beautiful. She had perfect breasts; perfect legs and I hated her for it. Her eyes were the color of warm honey. Her lips were naturally deep red and she never wore lipstick. She was all that I wanted to be and more.
I had mousy brown hair, dark eyes, almost black in color. I was just a bit on the chubby side but not fat. I had 36DD breasts that seemed to forever get in my way. I was 5'5″ to her 5'11". She always told me my "baby fat" would go once I got into the hang of college life. So now you know how nice she was.
Carly got invited to all the frat parties and took pity on me and let me go with her. I stood back behind her no one noticing me really. I watched her laugh and joke with the guys. She was never one bit shy around guys.
One night around midterms, she looked up from studying and said "Hey Lori, lets get out of here for a while."
I was totally not getting what I was studying and said "Let's go!"
We went to the pub that was right down from our dorm. We both ordered a long island ice tea. Looked at each other and giggled. We continued to get totally drunk until closing. We left arm in arm stumbling all the way home.
Once at the dorm we ataşehir escort snuck in quietly to not wake anyone up. Carly grinned once we were inside the dorm room. She said "Ok Lori, I have decided that you learn how to be a woman."
Laughing at her I said "Carly I am a woman!" With that I winked at her and started to undress.
She came from behind me and whispered "No Lori, your not, I desire to teach you like I was taught when I was a freshman. She helped me take my shirt off from behind lifted it over my head. She gently undid my bra. I turned toward her wide eyed but the liquor had made my inhibitions disappear. I had never really been with a man much less a woman. I was wondering what lesson she would be teaching?
She came from behind me and whispered "No Lori, your not, I want to teach you like I was taught when I was a freshman. She helped me take my shirt off from behind lifted it over my head. She gently undid my bra. I turned toward her wide eyed but the liquor had made my inhibitions disappear. I had never really been with a man much less a woman. I was wondering what lesson she would be teaching.
She didn't say one more word. She unbuttoned my jeans and leaned in to kiss me. That kiss was so soft that I immediately returned it. Just a softly as she did, when she slowly licked my lips I did the same to hers, amazed at how sweet they tasted. Getting bolder I slipped my tongue in her mouth, she gently sucked it. I felt myself avcılar escort get damp, shocked that this was turning me on so much.
She took my hand and led me to the bed. Slipping my jeans and panties off with one movement, I was laying there totally naked in front of her. She slowly undressed in front of me eyes never leaving each other. Her body was so perfect, breasts with upturned nipples standing hard. She lay down beside me. Coming out of my drunken stupor I realized I really liked this. I wanted to touch her. I touched the side of her face gently, trailing my fingers down her chin, past her neck to her chest. Her nipples were like pebbles so I gently touched one and she moaned. I drew my hand back. She took my hand in hers and placed it on her breast while she in turn touched mine. I loved the softness of it. Her nipple was jutting out begging to be sucked. She had my nipple between her fingers tweaking it softly. I loved the way she was making me feel.
Carly leaned over me and started sucking my nipples into her mouth, first one then the other. Slowly she started kissing down my body. She licked every where she kissed very erotically. I found myself arching into her kisses trying to urge her down. So surprised by the feelings she was arousing in my body. She kissed my pubic mound. I shave there so I felt her kiss on my bare skin. It nearly drove me wild. She told me to spread my legs. I did as told and she got between them and gently started ataşehir escort bayan licking. I was so excited. I could feel her tongue darting in and out of me as her finger gently stroked my clit. She was taking long strokes with her tongue and darting it ever once in awhile to my anal hole. This was more than I could take. I came for the first time in my life. She continued sucking on my clit drinking my juice.
She raised herself up to me and kissed me. I tasted myself on her lips. That just made me want to taste her. She got up on all fours and spread her legs. I got behind her and stuck one finger in her tight luscious hole. I pulled it out and tasted it. Her juices tasted like sugar. I got between her legs and timidly licked. I heard her moaning loudly so I knew she was enjoying it. I took her clit in my mouth sucking and nibbling it. I was getting excited and very turned on again by the sounds she was making. While I was licking her and fucking her with my tongue, I trailed my fingers to my own pussy. I masturbated sticking one then two fingers in at a time. I could feel her tensing up knowing she was about to cum, I increased the rhythm of my tongue and my fingers. When she screamed that she was cumming that set me off to another mind blowing orgasm. I tasted her flowing into my mouth and continued to suck until she was totally dry. We both passed out after that and at one point I felt her get out of my bed and get into hers.
I lay there reveling in the afterglow, thinking of how I let this happen. I didn't feel one bit dirty, instead I felt liberated. The next day I started going to the gym. By the time I was a senior I had the body I always wanted and a freshman roommate.

See how diversification works for the investment funds managed
by BRD Asset Management SAI, choosing the amount, currency, period and degree of risk!
In the calculation of the risk degree, the Synthetic Risk and Yield indicator, as defined in ASF Instruction no. 5/2012. This measures the level of risk to which the investor is exposed and is not a measure of the risk of losing the invested amount but a measure of the increases and decreases in value recorded. The calculation presented is strictly exemplary on the basis of the statistical values of the evolution of the unit value of the net asset (VUAN) for a period similar to that chosen by you.
Past performance of the fund is not a guarantee of future results.
Investments in fund units are not risk-free. The value of the fund units may vary, plus or minus, compared to the acquisition price, depending on the evolution of the assets in which the investment fund makes investments.

Lesson plans are a lot like food, they require the right recipe for the right patrons, and when they're done well you can't help but fill yourself up! The life sciences discipline has a unique set of challenges to designing lesson plans, having to balance between content and skill heavy course loads with engaging experiences for students. Because students t various levels of education respond better to varying levels of each, focus surrounds creating distinctions between resources for the respective levels fo education. HHMI|Biointeractive sought to change that, and change it they did, by designing a set of life science lesson plans which are both effective at the undergraduate level, and palatable enough for high-school classrooms. Their recipe includes engaging videos, hands-on individual and group activities, and well-written, simply fun content. The lessons challenge students to think like scientists, but don't inundate them with saturated content.
Going beyond the students, the site also offers resources for professional development and access to a selection of science news articles suited for discussion or as a rewarding treat to curious minds.
To understand what the full suite of classroom resources offers, read a breakdown below of the tools available to educators looking for additional tools and activities for their students.
Storyline Viewer
Learning is not the collection of mere facts, nor solely their contextualization, but the development of a coherent story which explains a set of both observations and intuitions. Humans naturally weave our understanding of the world around us into a cohesive series of cause and effect, building upon the foundations of yesterday's experiences, and doing the same tomorrow. An educational philosophy emphasizing the progression of information is necessary to sustain an engaging learning environment. With the storyline viewer, the entire educational suite is prepared for educators to plan, implement, and visualize coherent lesson sequences, or storylines, driven by students' questions about phenomena.
The included material of each lesson includes resources grouped by the following sections:
Learning Goals and Science Content
Science Practices and Crosscutting Concepts
Connections between Phenomena
Reveal Student Thinking
Support and Relevance
Additional Resources
To dig into the mechanics of the tool, let's go through one of the lesson plans available: Genetics of Lactose Intolerance.
Genetics of Lactose Intolerance includes 7 lessons which cover:
What can I learn about genetics from studying lactose tolerance?
How are traits passed between generations?
How can knowledge about enzymes help explain why some people can digest milk? Where does a cell store the information to make proteins like the enzyme lactase?
What is the evidence that lactose tolerance is inherited and might be influenced by genes? What regions of DNA are related to the phenotypes of lactose tolerance and intolerance?
How can I demonstrate what I've learned about the inheritance of lactose tolerance?
Lesson 1 offers the relevant teaching materials, and the guide for how to prepare and deploy the materials.
Under the Reveal Student Thinking tab, educators can find common student questions, misconceptions, and the relevant answers and explanations to address them. Two such misconceptions are that lactose intolerance is abnormal, and that most adults throughout the world are lactose tolerant. There are accompanying questions teachers can ask students to get them thinking about how to analyze the data, and how to form data-backed beliefs.
Additional resources include powerpoint slides, videos, and even assessments that educators can provide to their students to gauge the absorption and retention of information from the lesson.
Genetics of Lactose Intolerance lessons are assumed to take roughly 50 minutes, and each lesson can be used for a single class session. In the case of this storyline, there are 7 lessons which corresponds to 9 class sessions, and the calendar offered within the storyline offer a sample template for the resources used, and the preparation of the materials which can be a huge help to educators planning to use these tools for the first time.
The Storyline Viewer offer an expansive full-suite series of lessons plans which students digest easily with the help of the free resources found online. It is a formidable tool for educators.
Resource Playlists
HHMI Biointeractive's videos and accompanying activities can be used independently as supplements to an educators existing lesson plans, and offer a well-produced selection of videos and sequences for classroom projection. Below you'll find the dissection of their Teaching Natural Selection and the Genetic Code Using the Rock Pocket Mouse resource playlist.
The resources in this playlist include a card activity accompanying a student handout and a series of videos. These help students learn about and understand color variation in Rock Pocket Mouse populations. Students will then learn about adaptations and natural selection, and use this knowledge to explain changes in fur color of a population over time. This culminates in a molecular genetic explanation for the processes taking place.
Science News
HHMI Biointeractive's list of science news articles provide a selection of interesting pieces sure to get students thinking and, more importantly, talking. Student discussion is a fundamental asset to engaging their minds and teaching them to consider things from various perspectives.
Professional Development
The HHMI Biointeractive site provides free tools for professional learning which guide the use of their resources, as well as promote the individual development of educators, particularly those teaching at the high school level. The resources for professional development include:
Online Courses
Educator Voices
Science Talks
The workshops provide opportunities for educators to develop their skills in particular areas, with such topics as The Biology of Skin Color, The Great Elephant Census and Modeling, and a Bee Case Study. Workshops take place throughout the United States offering educators all over the country an opportunity to engage their professional development.
The Educator Voices tab features a great set of videos discussing the work and thoughts of several great educators who consider the ways in which education takes place, and the systems in which it does. Four great examples are below (and found here):
Currently there is only the single online course entitled Evolution. It provides educators the strengthen their content knowledge surrounding evolution, with a special emphasis on knowledge appropriate for teaching at the high school level. There are three units:
Unit One focuses on the mechanisms of evolution. It includes how to build an explanation based on evidence for natural selection.
Unit Two focuses on sources of evidence supporting evolutionary theory, including fossils, anatomy, biochemistry, genetics, and cell biology.
Unit Three focuses on patterns of evolution, including phylogenies and macroevolution.
The course offers certificates for the completion of the course. Because education consists not only of facilitation but of the contextualization of problems that may escape the scope of the prepared curriculum, ensuring that educators have an appropriate background refresher is a great way to ensure the quality of the students' education.

Best Servants in Fate Grand Order
Top tier Servants in Fate Grand Order.
Servants in Fate Grand Order vary in numerous ways, most notably in their Noble Phantasm (NP), a unique special attack initiated during battle. In making your Servant selection, the main component that should be considered is the preference of playstyle and the particular role and overall value you're looking to bring to the table. Knowing why Servants are powerful and how to use them in a team is critical in determining which one to go with. Nevertheless, this guide will recommend the top tier choices — all of which are considered the most desirable; recognizing team application, stat ratings, skills, abilities, and overall in-game performance.
Altria Pendragon (Archer)
Altria can spam her NP like no other servant. She has team-wide offensive and defense buffs, as well as great utility. Core strengths include top-notch NP gain, team support capability, and being adequately suited for Challenge Quests. A few downfalls include unreliable NP drain, no evasion or invincibility skill, and minimal situational self-healing. For players looking to do work via the queen of NP, look no further than Altria.
Defined as a one-man support army, Merlin takes full advantage of multiplicative buff staking. His distinct support features include healing per turn (team-wide), NP charge per turn, and critical star generation per turn from his NP, among others, all of which prove invaluable during Challenge Quests. Buster damage support, party sustain, and high consistency is Marlin's key strengths. In contrast, his vulnerability to sustained high damage attacks and pierce Invulnerabilties, requirement, and ramp-up time pose as shortcomings. Nevertheless, Merlin is a key support servant if putting out serious damage is your intent.
Characterized as the undisputed Goddess of Quickness, Scathach-Skadi can supercharge quick attacks and has a substantial NP charge. Additionally, she has a strong influence over how Masters play, which further shows how valuable she is in providing support. Her core strengths include Noble Phantasm looping (quick attack), Noble Phantasm charging, massive damage boosts, and critical boosts. Her downfalls include sparse offense (clearly defined as a support servant), low survivability, and Noble Phantasm, which is difficult to charge up to the maximum when needed most.
The foxy arts-focused support Servant who enables skill-spamming and high NP uptime, Tamamo-no-Mae grants her team with both a sizable NP charge while reducing their cooldowns. For a defensive strategist, look no further than this Servant — made possible via her lowered skill cooldowns and NP charge from her NP. As noted above, this servant is best suited in an Arts-based team, and for general application, should reside in that type of environment. Nevertheless, while she's in her element, her skill usage is unmatched and is an essential piece to any Arts-based team.
Zhuge Liang (El-Melloi II)
One of the best supports in the game, Zhuge's impressive ability to buff his entire team (offensively and defensively) and charge their NP gauges simultaneously truly showcase he provides steady support to any team he finds himself working within. As mentioned, Strong all-around team support and utility are some of his key strengths, besides flexible NP charging and high utility on NP. A few faults include limited defensive options and a lower ceiling than more specialized supports.

1990 Nissan Skyline GT-R - Living the Dream
Through his love for cars, Fredrick Tissera hopes to take down one of life's biggest challenges for good
The automobile has served a number of purposes since its inception. Transportation for the masses, a vessel for competitive sport, the focal point of hobbyists, and in some cases, inspiration. Fredrick Tissera's build takes on dual purpose when it comes to the word "inspiration." As many of us aspire to one day own a Skyline GT-R, you could view his story as a car enthusiast as being inspirational. The flip side to this story is Tissera's ongoing fight with cancer, one he hopes will inspire others who are facing a similar challenge to never give up on their dreams and use their strength to push forward.
As the former owner of a Toyota Yaris, a hand-me-down from his sister during high school, Fredrick longed to add a GT-R to his garage, a dream he's had since a young age. "Since I was 10 years old, I've wanted my own," he says. "My older brother sold a lot of these types of cars back in the day, and so one day it dawned on me to make a business of my own doing the same thing. I got my dealer license so I could purchase my own." The GT-R was stock when Tissera first got his hands on it, but it wouldn't stay that way for long, and it would be a project that he and his brother would work on together.
After Tissera was diagnosed with cancer, a friend of his in Japan reached out to a contact at Tomei to let them know about his passionate story for cars, which eventually led to a sponsorship. "I went through a very rough patch when I was diagnosed, but one of my goals is to raise awareness [of cancer]," he says. "I would hate for anyone else to have to go through it, but for anyone who is, you're welcome to take a ride anytime. Talking about my build and putting smiles on others' faces means a lot to me." As you can see, the list of Tomei accessories for his RB26 is extensive, but only the best deserve to be on a car with such large stature. Between the engine bay and the titanium exhaust, there's a host of Tomei's greatest parts, which, as you can guess, makes driving the GT-R a lot of fun. "The sounds these big turbo cars make is unreal," Tissera explains. "And with all the gauges and electronics that have been added to the interior, it's like sitting in a cockpit."
Though it is predominantly driven (minimally) on the street, Tissera is hoping to get some track time soon but admits it will require plenty of practice before he gets comfortable. "Turning is already difficult and heavy without ABS or traction control," he says. "The car is an absolute beast, but if treated with respect, the reward pays off dividends." The main goal beyond Tissera's personal enjoyment of the project is to continue raising awareness for cancer within the car community. "You can't give up," he says. "The support of my family and friends is what keeps me going, and their strength continues to push me forward." For inspiring us to someday own the car of our dreams and to beat a challenging life obstacle, we wish Fredrick all our best.

Peleliu War History
In February 1985 the United States designated the Peleliu Battlefield a National Historic Landmark. It is less than 1,000 worldwide. The 1985 statement of significance states in part: |
The battle for Peleliu, the Gateway to the Philippines, was the longest and one of the most hard-fought battles of the entire Central Pacific amphibious operations of World War II. In contrast to earlier combats where the Japanese had vainly attempted to annihilate the enemy on the beaches, Peleliu's defenses were organized with the main line of resistance established inland, artillery and mortar fire registered on the beaches, and defenses arranged in depth in order to sustain resistance to an attack while destroying the enemy. Although the crack Japanese troops lost the battle, their new tactics enabled them to inflict heavy losses on American Marine and Army forces and to hold out for 74 days. Those who would not surrender were sealed in the caves.
The battle began on September 15, 1944 and involved members of the 1st Marine Division and 81 U.S. Army Division against members of primarily the 14th Division, Japanese Imperial Army and attached units. Although the battle was declared over in November 1944, the final hostilities did not cease until April 22, 1947 when Lt. Ei Yamaguchi and 33 members of the 2d Infantry and 45th Guard Force sailors agreed to surrender to U.S. forces on Peleliu. This was the last formal surrender of World War II.
As a result of its Landmark designation, in 1991 the U.S. Park Service evaluated designating Peleliu Battlefield a National Historic Park, but this effort failed due to the lack of land available for Park designation. Little has been done since that time until December 2004 when the U.S. Congress passed PL 108-479 requesting the U.S. Department of Interior to take steps to protect the Landmark and provide information to the public on the battle.
In 2006 the National Park Service raised the status of the Peleliu Battlefield Landmark to threatened in its report to Congress.

Demand to join Graf UK's nationwide network of accredited service providers is growing exponentially, even during lockdown. Here, one contractor explains what the benefits to him have been of linking up with Graf UK.
Becoming an ambassador for Graf UK wastewater treatment systems has not only made life easier for Carl Pickess but also more profitable.
Just two months after starting up his own company, Kent Waste Water Services, the fledgling business has turned a profit 50% higher than Carl was expecting … and all this during the UK's Covid-19 lockdown.
In that time, Carl has installed two systems and sold six more wastewater treatment systems that await installation.
So successful is the partnership with Graf UK proving that Carl is now planning on training up his younger brother to do more of the installation side, leaving Carl to concentrate on the servicing, maintenance and site visit aspects in Graf UK's recently-introduced Lifetime Support scheme.
The partnership was formed after Graf UK contacted local installers prior to the Build It Live exhibition in Maidstone, where Carl's business is based. Carl has since attended Graf UK seminars and service provider training.
"I jumped at the opportunity. It was what I had been looking for to get the business up and running but I never expected to sell eight tanks in the first few months," he said. "My first option will always be Graf because they are the best systems on the market."
"Lifetime Support is probably the No 1 selling point. Everyone is so interested in it. It's a huge benefit for customers."
For businesses who would like to learn more about working with Graf UK, please contact national sales manager Steve Righton on 07702 872348 or email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com.

A pool of Japanese financiers has given a US$3bn loan to Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc).
The Japan Bank for International Co-operation (the Japanese export credit agency, JBIC) contributed US$2.1bn to the transaction, while the remaining US$0.9bn was financed by the Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi UFJ (BTMU – the lead arranger), Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (SMBC) and Mizuho Corporate Bank.
The facility has a tenor of five years, while the pricing is confidential.
It's the third in a series of loans Adnoc has received to expand its oil and gas development, ultimately securing a stable supply of crude oil to Japan, which is a large offtaker of Adnoc's produce. Furthermore, a host of Japanese companies are active in oil and gas projects in Abu Dhabi and could well stand to benefit from any infrastructural investment Adnoc makes.
Adnoc is the national oil company of the emirate of Abu Dhabi. Its importance as a supplier to Japan has grown since the ongoing security worries over the Strait of Hormuz. Since Adnoc has access to the Fujairah oil pipeline, it can avoid transporting its crude oil exports down the strait.

ORLANDO, Florida — Looking down the roster of an Under Armour All-America Game reveals hometowns familiar to anyone following college football or U.S. geography: Palm Beach, Houston, Atlanta, Birmingham, Cleveland, Los Angeles, Dallas, Detroit, etc.
But Volders, Austria? That's different
That is where 2019 offensive tackle Valentin Senn hails from. Standing 6'7 and weighing 285 pounds, Senn is hard to miss.
Senn signed with Colorado, more than 5,000 miles from home, during the Early Signing Period. But the story of how he became a college football prospect is more interesting.
Senn did not start out as a football player. Like most kids in Austria, he played soccer.
"A friend of mine with whom I played soccer, he was starting to play football. He was always like, 'Come join me, play football.'" Senn said.
It worked.
At some point, any recruit has to commit to football. That might happen later in Europe. When he was 15, Senn took the plunge into the game.
"I came to one practice, and from that moment on, I just loved the game."
But Senn did not start out as an offensive lineman. He was actually a receiver.
"I started out as a receiver, but then moved to tight end because I grew bigger. And now I ended up as an offensive tackle."
It's a point of pride for Senn that his Innsbruck team won the Austrian championship over a team from Vienna, a city 15 times more populated.
To get linked up with American college teams, Senn got help from a German-born former NFL player who specializes in those relationships.
Björn Werner, a Berlin native, played his college football at Florida State. He now runs Gridiron Imports, an organization that helps European players get to the states for college.
Werner was placed in an American boarding school with help from a now-defunct program affiliated with NFL Europe. When he got out of the league, he wanted to be able to help European players get a chance to play football in America.
"Schools are more willing to offer European players now than they were when I played," Werner said. "So it's not as important to play high school football in America, but schools do want to see players in person. We help them get to America for college camps."
Because American football is relatively niche in Europe, Werner says that when a player stands out on a European team, he gets noticed. And word spreads fast to Gridiron Imports, which will review the player's highlight tape, share it with colleges, and organize camp tours stateside.
Over the last three recruiting cycles, Werner said his group has placed 70 recruits in the states.
"I love playing the mentor role, both for the highs, but also for the lows," Werner said, noting that the experience for European players can be tough and unfamiliar.
As Senn came up, Werner got in touch, "saying he was interested in getting me on a camp tour," Senn said.
From there, one program's camp would lead to another.
"In June, I went to some camps, and got some offers," Senn said. He said that Werner told him to be first in line and go hard. He described his first camp (at Rutgers) as "huge."
Word spread after that.
"We went to some MAC schools, Rutgers, and he was getting offered so fast, I realized, 'Holy smokes, he might be a [power conference] kid,' ya know?" Werner said.
They started on the East Coast.
"Then Colorado got wind of it," Senn said.
So he visited Boulder and later camped there.
Colorado still had to like Senn, and he still had to like Colorado.
He performed well at Colorado's camp and received the Buffs' offer. He got 10 in all, including other FBS offers from Buffalo, Akron, and UConn.
"Every camp he went to, he got an offer," Werner said.
New Colorado coach Mel Tucker liked what Senn could bring and focused on his athletic upside in announcing the signing:
"Another big guy. Tremendous upside. Good balance and body control on the second level. He can road-grade guys, obviously something that appeals to me. You rarely see a guy with this type of size and length with that type of balance and athleticism in pass pro and the run game. He's got some versatility.
Along the same line, Colorado site Ralphie Report loves his mobility.
The thing that sticks out right away about Valentin is how well he moves. He looks like a tight end out there. He can get down the field hurry and is very comfortable shuffling laterally. He finishes blocks well and the Colorado Buffaloes desperately need athletic bodies at tackle.
For Senn, CU stood out for some of the same reasons it might stand out to any recruit.
"I really enjoy that it's not only a great football organization, but also a great education," Senn said. "Also the campus is not too big, so I can orientate and find everything I need to."
That wasn't all.
"Colorado's landscape with the mountains is also similar to where he is from in Austria, with the Alps," Werner said.
And Senn still had to convince his parents to let him go to school an ocean away.
"They weren't with that idea from the get-go," Senn said. "But once they went on the official visit and saw the whole place and the organization, and now they are feeling good about it and are all in, like me."
After the coaching change from Mike MacIntyre to Mel Tucker, schools started blowing up Senn's phone. UCLA, Oregon, and Oklahoma State were interested but wanted to scout him in person before offering, Werner said.
"But he is the type of kid who thinks commitment means commitment," Werner said.
Senn will arrive in July after finishing school in Austria.
There's an adjustment period for any recruit. But it's an even starker jump for a player without American high school experience.
As for his week at the Under Armour All-America Game, Senn said that he had no clue how he'd stack up against the other competitors.
"It's overwhelming, everything," he said. "I'm like — still, I need time to process. It's huge. In Austria, football is growing, but it's a long, long way until it is like it is here. I'll give my best and see where I am at."
Senn didn't looked like the best player at the event, but he did look like he belonged.

What Are Prebiotics?
Many people know all about probiotics. But prebiotics often take the backseat, although they are also essential for optimal health. In the most basic terms, prebiotics are essential to fuel probiotics. That means that prebiotics are the fibrous material your body can't really digest. But since it arrives in your gut whole, it becomes the primary food source for probiotics (aka your "good" gut bugs).1
The easiest way to distinguish between prebiotics and probiotics is to remember that probiotics are the live yeasts and good bacteria in your body, and prebiotics are the food on which they live.
There are quite a few natural sources of prebiotics including artichokes and green banana.2,3,4
You can also opt to add prebiotic dietary supplements to your daily food regimen. But as always, you'll need to get your doctor's approval before making any changes to your diet, including the use of supplements.
History Of Prebiotics
The concept of prebiotics came into play a little over twenty years ago. In 1995, researchers Marcel Roberfroid and Glenn Gibson introduced prebiotics as "nondigestible food ingredients that beneficially affect the host by selectively stimulating the growth and/or activity of one or a limited number of bacteria in the colon…".5
Prebiotics: Top Potential Health Benefits For A Healthy Lifestyle
Prebiotics are essential for feeding your beneficial intestinal microbiota. The products of prebiotic degradation within the gut are short-chain fatty acids. When released into your blood circulatory system, these fatty acids may positively affect your gastrointestinal tract.6†
Prebiotics, like galacto-oligosaccharides and fructo-oligosaccharides, have been shown to exhibit varying potential beneficial effects on human health. For instance, in a double-blind clinical trial, 5 grams of prebiotics administered daily showed digestive improvement after just six weeks.7†
Oligosaccharides are the most common prebiotics. They are selectively fermented to allow seemingly positive alterations in gut microflora so as to help support the host's health and well-being.8†
Prebiotics may also help support:
- Improved mineral absorption (i.e. calcium)†
- Healthy gut bacteria†
- Weight management9†
Which Gundry MD Supplements Include Prebiotics?
Prebiotics are a staple of Gundry MD supplements like Bio-Complete 3. Bio-Complete 3 was thoughtfully designed to help support a healthy gut lining by blending the highest quality prebiotics, probiotics, and post-biotics.† To learn more about where to buy prebiotics and read reviews about Bio-Complete 3, visit the Bio-Complete 3 website. Just make sure to get your doctor's approval before beginning any new supplement routine.

Philly 9/11 Truth Confronts the Clairvoyant Rick Santorum on New 9/11 Prediction
Philly 9/11 Truth Confronts Rick Santorum (Short Clip 10 min)
Philly 9/11 Truth Confronts Rick Santorum*** (Extended Clip 20 min)
Philly 9/11 Truth Confronts the Clairvoyant Rick Santorum on New 9/11 Prediction
Former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum operating under the auspices of David Horowitz' Islamo-fascism Awareness Week entered the halls of Philadelphia's Temple University to deliver a trenchant warning about the increasing threat of Islamo-fascism. Santorum arrogantly anticipating resistance from the "left leaning" university issued a disclaimer that he would extend equal time after his presentation to discussing the positions therein and to his credit such was realized. The question and answer session began with the bizarre monologue of a gentleman claiming to have been at Ground Zero on 9/11 and also that he was marine and victim of Islamo-fascism as a peaceful political protestor in Andalucia (see extended clip). The majority of the questions posed by the audience to Satorum were woefully uninspiring. One comment however did resonate which was in regards to the loss of civil liberties since 9/11 and spurred a telling conversation in which Santorum denied that any such loss of liberty had occurred telling an audience member to give a "real example" despite the issue of libraries being forced to disclose information on their clients being mentioned. Members of Philadelphia 9/11 Truth were able to interpolate a few extremely critical inquiries into the fiasco the most important of which Santorum's prediction of some "unfortunate events" that would in the near future change the political opinion of the majority of Americans. Mark, seasoned veteran of Philly 9/11 Truth went word for word with the sophist Santorum who attempted to spin the question about his ominous prediction into a question about Mark's personal view of Islamo-fascism. Santorum was able to bide his time long enough to formulate a rebuttal stating that his forewarning was about the Iranian threat which in Satorum's analysis "already has begun" to initiate this political shift. Santorum took additional questions from Philly 9/11 Truth's members Darrell and Nick, respectively about the euphemistic use of the term "Islamo-fascism" and about the role of covert CIA operations in the fostering of Islamic extremism. Satorum insisted that Islamo-fascism was a proper term due to the nature of the meld between religion and state, however audience members agreed that fascism was inherently about corporatism. Although Santorum anticipated resistance to his melodramatic inculcations by hubristically planning for an extended discussion session, the actions of these courageous Philly 9/11 Truth members invariably prevented him from further deleterious chicanery.

Good, but I'd say your questions were too weak/vague for the
barefaced liar, Santorum.
BTW, this Islamo-fascism propaganda is disgusting! I'd like to see how far a Judeo-fascism or Christo-fascism week would get?! Not very far, because it's fine to bash Muslims, but not Jews or Christians.

He got you!
Question- "Do you think 'islamo-fascism' is a threat to America"?
Answer- "No, I think 'islamo-fascism' is a lie created by you and your FASCIST buddys,. to instill terror in Americans. So you can take from them their freedoms and their childrens money (war debt!)."
The seconod guy was right,. FASCISM is state domination by military and corporate power,. What these propagandists are calling 'islamo-fascism' is islamic fundamentalism/nationalism,. the reason they don't like or use this term, is that a large part of their supporters (the retarded part) are fundamentalist/nationalist christians and jews and so the term 'islamo-fascism' was invented to add negativity to the word islam and link it to something that most people have negative thoughts of,. Fascism.
The interesting thing is that these PNAC-neocon -Loonies attempt (and seem to succeed) in shifting all their common traits onto their created symbolic boogymen,. Listen to bush or cheney etc. whenever they talk of the terrorists they speak as if they know the thoughts in their heads,. why is that? well since they ARE the terrorists they do know the the thoughts in their own heads! and they can speak them with out lieing, . "they hate our freedom, they want to destroy america, they killed 3000 people", etc. all true,. the PNAC terrorists have all these traits. They just flip the script and talk about the "boogyman" as if its not them,. and is someone out there,. where the oil and the markets, and geo-stratigical locations are.
We all know who is really funding and equiping, and in times of need, activating 'real' islamic fundamentalist/nationalistic terrorist, it is the CIA or the new 'private' manipulators,. . this is well documented. and is now obviouse to anyone who cares to look into it.

Agreed - Mr. Santorm opened the door for a full expose'
of the alternative (and far more plausible) explanation of the events of 9/11/01.
I would follow your short answer with: "Sir, even the FBI now admits that they have "no hard evidence linking bin Laden to 9/11", so why did we illegally invade and continue to occupy Afghanistan in response to 9/11? Could it have had anything to do with the $50 billion/year heroin trade that has flourished since our arrival there or the gas pipelines that Enron desperately needed to run to the electrical generating plants they were building in India, which that company had recklessly gambled and lost on?"
I could go on, of course, but it is far easier to come up with these lines sitting at home than when you have to think on your feet in the heat of "battle". Preparation is always key, one can never prepare too much.
Thanks for also using some of your limited time to bring up the plight of the first responders, this should be SOP (maybe even the first questions, too) whenever we confront the public face of the perps. I often wish we had more chances in CA to take these clowns on.
I give the blog, and the effort, a 10.
Keep up the good work!
(We really need to recruit some more young women to ask the tough questions, as this will totally catch them off guard.)
The truth shall set us free. Love is the only way forward.

a lot of twist speak and twisting of word-definitions.
Maybe it's a good idea to ask (on video) what people mean with their
definitions (in this case islamo-fascism).
These words indeed seem only to be made up to be effective in scapegoeting and to sound
impressive or evil!

When you ask a question, DEMAND AN ANSWER
Don't let them side-track you with questions yourself. THEY are the ones answering the questions, NOT YOU.
Next time this happens, just point that out and demand they answer.

This is a productive thread:
The audience participants who asked the questions, the commentaries, all complied a great group dynamic for education in many areas such as orator skills (not from Santorum), finesse, and constructive focused input. A good learning experience. Thanks.

Thank You Philly 9/11 Truth!
Thanks for bringing this video to 911blogger.com. Santorum shows his ability to spin talking points, but seems without empathy! He was surprisingly agile at thinking on his feet, which seems exceptional for someone who was in AC/DC? It seemed a game--a debating contest--to him? He's dangerous in my opinion!
Yeah, there's been no perceptible loss of liberties to date--but that could change at a moment's notice! It will happen the day that Marshall Law has been declared! You have to ask, is Pakistan a dry run? You have to wonder about Musharraf's reference to Abraham Lincoln in his emergency speech? Did they slip him the wrong speech? I tend to believe these inclusions are done on purpose for those able to read between the lines! It's part of their game!
We're already a surveillance state slouching towards a security state! Santorum seems to counter with MSM virtual reality arguments--there's been no real changes made--just go on with your lives! It's our everyday routines that will be our undoing! Will you one day just wake up and find that most of your neighbors are gone? Will you accept the explanation that they possibly all moved away? This is the type of argument Santorum is offering! You haven't been touched--yet--so just forget about it!
I'm always impressed by the efforts to bring these encounters to video. It's easy to second guess what could be asked, but I was satisfied with the questions posed! Santorum knows about the "unfortunate events" that will change people's minds, because he knows the agenda! I'm just glad he's not in DC!
We've got to look to Spain's reaction to their 3/11, they didn't buy it! There's the example that we should follow!
Santorum is more proof...
...don't buy what they are selling!

Great job Patriots. My only
Great job Patriots. My only critical comment would be to be more confident and assertive with your stance and questioning. Look Rick in the eye and realize that you are addressing a criminal. No need to shout at him, but perhaps think of how the police might be interrogating a criminal suspect. Taking an controlled and assertive stance establishes credibility for anyone listening. You already have the Truth on your side and people will listen to it if if appears to be from a credible source.

This is a quick behavioral psychology tip for everyone. The phrase Islam-o-fascism is more state sponsored "classical conditioning". Please google "classical conditioning" to understand it. They are pairing a neutral word, islam, with a negative word, fascism. This is the simplest form of conditioning. When someone thinks of fascism it only has negative connotations. This is why it is being paired with islam which is a religion. The stimulus being conditioned is "islam" the previously conditioned (through exposure and experience) word facism is the emotion eliciting stimlus. The emotional response is the unconditioned response. For more info look up Dr. Bruce Weiss's 1968 study on Classical conditiong and persuasion (of attitudes) within the journal of Psychonomic Sciences. I'll try to get a copy scanned and put in pdf form at some point. This particular study is short and would also make for good pamphleting if some one else can beat me to it.

Croatia have secured a third-place victory at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar after beating Morocco 2-1 on Saturday evening, December 17.
The game, which took place at the Khalifa Stadium in Qatar, was attended by over 44,000 fans. Croatia's Josko Gvardiol scored the opener in the seventh minute, while Morocco's Achraf Dari scored a goal in the ninth minute. Mislav Orsic scored the decisive goal in the 42nd minute to seal the win for Croatia.
Gvardiol, 20, became the youngest goalscorer of the Croatian national team at the World Cup, surpassing Ivica Olic (2002).
This is Croatia's second bronze World Cup medal since the 1998 World Cup in France. The team came second at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, their highest achievement to date.
Morocco's achievements in Qatar will be remembered after becoming the first African team to reach the World Cup semifinals.
The World Cup final between defending champion France and Argentina is scheduled for Sunday December 18, at Lusail Stadium.

The 2018 NFL Draft class of defensive backs is a strong one. There is a reasonable expectation that at least five defensive backs, either cornerbacks or safeties, could be drafted in the first round. The clock is ticking on the 32 NFL teams as they prepare their war rooms and conduct their private workouts. All of the players below have been popping up in mock drafts around the country as potential first-round picks.
Minkah Fitzpatrick – Safety – Alabama 6-1 201lbs
Fitzpatrick is listed on just about everyone's board as the top defensive back in the draft. Fitzpatrick can play either cornerback or safety, which definitely makes him a hot commodity. Fitzpatrick has great hands and led the team in interceptions last year. His good awareness keeps him in the play. While he did not blow anyone away at the combine, his stats there were similar to most of the other defensive backs looking for that first round pick. Fitzpatrick was the focal point of the defensive backfield that ended up winning the CFP Championship. Fitzpatrick needs to learn to dial back and be a more patient player. He likes to make the big hit and could easily miss a more nimble receiver. He's going to have to become an expert in at least one position instead of being good at both. A team like Tampa Bay has a very good chance of taking Fitzpatrick or the in-state James.
Derwin James – Safety – Florida State 6-2 215lbs
James showed his potential and dedication during a rough season at Florida State. Despite the uninspiring results, James showed locker room leadership and dedication in studying. At the combine, James showed a lot of physical strength on the bench press, which makes him worthy of playing safety. He's versatile enough to be able to be moved around the field and used in blitz situations. James' biggest deficiency is his lack of experience. With only 26 games under his belt at safety, there will be a learning curve to get up to speed in the NFL. The lack of experience shows in how he sometimes does not anticipate receiver routes all that well. While some mock drafts have him as high as 7th in the first round, there are others that have him pretty low in the first round.
Denzel Ward – Cornerback – Ohio State 5-10 191lbs
Ward was the gold standard going into this season and has shown himself to be very athletic. His combine numbers show that he is full of speed. Ward is a ballhawk and has great hands. He's adept at reading routes and breaking up passes. Ward's size allows him to be knocked around by more physical receivers. It causes him to struggles breaking out of blocks and makes tackles on bigger players. Despite this, Ward still shows up in the top 10 in many mock draft boards.
Jaire Alexander – Cornerback – Louisville 5-11 192lbs
Alexander is light on his feet and works well adjusting on the field. He reacts well to both sudden route changes and bursts downfield. He has an eye for the long ball and is aggressive enough to break up big plays. Alexander has had some injuries, which call into question his durability. While he has shown flashes of greatness, he has also shown inconsistency in his tackling and finding the ball. He's late first round, but could easily fall into the second.
Mike Hughes – Cornerback – UCF 5-10 189lbs
Hughes is one of the bigger enigmas in this defensive back group. Playing only one year at UCF, but quickly becoming a dominant player caught scouts' eyes. He is a proven kick returner, which helped propel his team to an undefeated season. Like Derwin James, Hughes lacks experience on the field. He was two years of college football with this past year only as a starter. While he lacks pure sprint speed, he has shown to have good field speed and should be able to keep up with most receivers. He will need to improve some of his tackling technique. A team like Green Bay could use his services.
Justin Reid – Safety – Stanford 6-1 204lbs
Reid has pedigree. As the younger brother of Eric Reid, he has great physical talent. Reid is very physical and can also elude blockers with skill. He can play in the box as a blitzer and is a sound tackler. Reid is a bit slow changing foot direction and this could impact him against faster crossing receivers. He sometimes bites on fakes and is sometimes pressed to make the big hit. Reid could go in either first or second round.
Josh Jackson – Cornerback – Iowa 6-1 192lbs
Jackson is a very polarizing player on mock draft boards. He ranges from the top 10 to out of the first round, largely because there isn't much film to look at. For the film that does exist, Jackson has shown some amazing talent towards the ball. He's a pass breakup expert and had eight interceptions. His coverage instincts are top notch. Jackson, however, lacks experience, playing in only 14 games. He's is a bit slow as a cornerback, which compounds his lack of experience. Jackson might break into the first round, but don't be surprised to see him picked in the second round.
