A shocking new study is taking a big bite out of Italian cuisine's healthy and wholesome reputation.
Mediterranean diets of veg, olive oil and small amounts of meat and fish are widely acclaimed as being highly beneficial.
But an Italian restaurant meal can mean a woman eats four days' worth of saturated fat in one sitting, according to Heart UK.
The charity found an Ask Italian meal of an antipasto classico board, linguine carbonara and a chocolate lava mountain contains a 80g of saturated fat.
A woman's recommended daily amount is 20g and a man's 30g. At Zizzi, fonduta formaggi, a zucca rustica pizza and vanilla pannacotta had 82g of saturated fat. Since the research Zizzi has slashed fat in the pizza by 7g, making the total 75g.
And based on nutritional information from the PizzaExpress website, calamari followed by American hottest Romana 65 pizza and a honeycomb cream slice contains 72.5g of the fat.
Heart UK diet expert Linda Main said: "The saturated fat content of these meals is incredibly high and will shock customers who are unwittingly eating over four times the acceptable daily amount."
She said regularly exceeding saturated fat needs can lead to obesity, unhealthy cholesterol levels and increase the risk of an early heart attack or stroke.
Zizzi said it was working to reduce sugar, salt and saturated fat in its dishes and added there were healthy options on offer. PizzaExpress said it offered a broad spectrum of meals from salads to pizzas.
And Ask Italian said it offered customers a range of dishes to suit all diets from gluten-free and vegan options to half portions for those watching their weight.

The spleen was thought in ancient times to be the seat of emotions but its real function, in immunity and to remove time-expired blood cells and circulating microbes, has only been gradually recognised, explains Professor Timothy Cox.
Because the spleen contains macrophages it is almost invariably involved in the course of Gauchers disease when its normal function becomes exaggerated so destroying formed elements of the blood. Macrophages are cells that provide defence against infection by engulfing microbes; they also break down old cells and time-expired proteins within the body.
Many patients with Gauchers disease have had their spleen removed - usually to alleviate the effects of its over-activity but sometimes because it has been ruptured by injury. The spleen is removed for a wide range of conditions besides Gauchers disease and there is long-term experience of the effects of splenectomy (removal of the spleen) as a result.
With an experienced surgeon and good post-operative care, immediate difficulties due to the removal of the spleen are rare. However, beyond surgery, two complications deserve mention: the risks of thrombosis (blood clots) with embolism to the lungs causing severe breathing difficulties; and the risk of overwhelming infection (sepsis or septicaemia).
Blood clots
After the spleen is removed, the number of platelets (minute fragments of blood cells that are essential for normal blood clotting and the prevention of bleeding) usually rises rapidly. This incurs the risk of spontaneous clot formation in the blood vessels and, should these blood clots move to the lungs or elsewhere, there is the risk of embolism.
To a large extent, this complication can be avoided by early mobilisation after surgery, the use of leg bandages during surgery to promote venous flow, the use of short-term injections of the anti-coagulant heparin after splenectomy and taking aspirin which interferes with the action of platelets.
Within a few days of splenectomy, the platelet count usually rises and may reach very high levels for weeks to months afterwards. In many patients, the elevated platelets count persists longer and anti-platelet agents such as aspirin can be considered.
The risk of thrombosis is an important aspect after splenectomy -especially in those who propose to take a holiday abroad and spend many hours immobilised in an aeroplane.
Impairment of immunity
When the spleen has been removed, there is a slight impairment of some aspects of immunity. It has been shown, for example, that the ability of the scavenging phagocytes (macrophages and the circulating white blood cells with similar defensive functions) to ingest foreign proteins and microbes is reduced.
After the spleen is removed, there is little defence against bacterial microbes and this is why the spleen is not normally removed from young children. The risk of overwhelming infection may be as high as 10% in infants; in older children (over the age of 7) the incidence falls to 1%; it is rare but well-known in adults.
After splenectomy there are particular risks from infection with bacteria that have a capsule around them and these are particularly the organism known as the pneumococcus (which is usually implicated in ear infections and pneumonia) and less commonly the meningococcus (which causes meningitis in adults); or the organism Haemophilus influenzae which is implicated in infantile meningitis and other infections, especially of the ear, nose and throat.
Because these organisms make an outer capsule which prevents them from adhering readily to cells that normally engulf and destroy microbes (the polymorphonuclear leucocytes of the blood and macrophages of the tissues), they are virulent, for example a mouse can be killed by as few as 10 encapsulated pneumococci but if the capsule is removed, then many thousands of bacteria can be destroyed before a fatal infection develops.
The spleen with its unique structure that allows concentrated red cells to be delivered to a hugh concentration of macrophages is the main site for clearing these pathogens (disease producing microbes) from the blood. The small number of invading organisms may be sufficient to cause overwhelming sepsis (infection) because the microbes are not percolated through the narrow windows in the micro-circulation of the spleen where they can be attacked.
There is also evidence that the spleen is the site of formation of factors that allow antibodies and complement which are present in the plasma to work together at the surface of phagocytes to promote ingestion of microbes. These factors, as well as the filtering activity of the macrophage system, are reduced when the spleen is damaged or been removed surgically.
Particular risk
Large scale studies indicate that individuals who do not have a spleen are particularly at risk from encapsulated bacteria such as pneumoccoci, meningococci and haemophilus influenzae as well as unusual organisms including the malarial parasite. The protozoan parasites of babesia and malaria cause particularly serious infections in people without spleens. Babesia is like malaria and is transmitted from rodents and cattle by the bite of ticks. A rare bacterium (Bartonella bacilliformis) which is transmitted by the bite of sandflies in the Andean slopes of South America can be particularly severe in patients without a spleen. This organism causes oroya fever, or Carrion's disease, named after the medical student who died whilst finding out its cause.
What can be done about these risks?
It is now not standard practice to carry out therapeutic splenectomy in children for any reason including Gauchers disease until they are at least beyond the age of five and preferably older.
With the advent of bone marrow transplantation for severely affected children with Gauchers disease, as well as enzyme replacement therapy, splenectomy is now much less frequently carried out than in the past.
Avoid travel to tropics
People who have had their spleens removed for Gauchers disease cannot restore their splenic function but they can avoid exposing themselves to some of the organisms that cause serious illness.
I would advise avoiding travel to the tropics where malaria is common (as well as certain infections such as meningitis) and would suggest that young and outward-bound people should avoid travel to the Andean parts of South America as well as the islands of Massachusets where babesiosis is common! Should you need to visit a malarial area, then scrupulous attention to avoiding exposure to mosquitos by the use of insect repellents and mosquito netting is advised. Clearly it is important to take up-to-date and appropriate preventitive medicine should you be bitten by mosquitos that carry malaria.
It is recommended that immunisation with the newer vaccines to many, but not all, strains of pneumococci (Pneumovax II), meningococci (Mengivac (A+C)) and Haemophilus influenzae (the new Hib vaccine) should be given to all patients with Gauchers disease who do not have a spleen and who are over the age of three years. The usual contra-indications to administration of the separate vaccines apply.
It is worth noting also that the Pneumovax should only be given once since sensitivity reactions may follow repeated immunisation. Immunisation with Mengivac may be repeated. The response to these vaccines is not always normal in patients without a functioning spleen and, although there is no evidence that administration of the vaccine before splenectomy is better, it is usual practice to carry out the programme of immunisation before surgery if possible.
Immunisation does not offer complete protection against infection with pneumococci or the other organisms and, should a feverish illness develop after immunisation, infection with these particular organisms should still be considered.
In particular, Mengivac (A+C) gives no protection against meningococcal group B disease that causes local outbreaks in Europe and the vaccination is usually offered to travellers visiting parts of the world where the risk of infection is high, eg the African meningitis belt, parts of the Middle East and the Indian sub-continent.
We do not have categorical proof that immunisation with Mengivac and the new Hib vaccine will give increased benefit to individuals who have had their spleen removed for Gauchers disease and, at the time of writing, the Public Health Laboratory Service has not yet published its guidelines for prevention of sepsis after splenectomy.
However it is already known that the Pneumovax II immunisation gives protection against overwhelming pneumococcal infection which is by far the most common cause of serious sepsis in patients who lack a spleen. It is now standard practice to utilise this for prevention after splenectomy.
Many patients who have had splenectomy for Gauchers disease as children in the past may not have been immunised with this but I would certainly recommend you to get immunised if this is the case. Many bacteriologists, however, feel that in addition to the use of Pneumovax II, immunisation with Mengivac and the new Hib vaccine should be advised in individuals with no spleen .
Other preventitive measures
There are no firm guidelines here except for children where it is recommended universally that children who lack a spleen or in whom the spleen is unable to work properly, prophylactic antibiotics (for prevention of infection) are taken daily: a small dose of soluble penicillin is taken by mouth by those who do not have penicillin allergy. Trial evidence indicates that this greatly reduces the incidence of overwhelming sepsis from organisms such as the pneumococcus and it seems to do this by preventing the organism invading the body.
Many doctors, particularly haemotologists, believe that adults should also take prophylactic penicillin for life. I myself subscribe to this view since in non-allergic individuals, penicillin is cheap and well-tolerated. A small dose of erythromycin can be recommended in those who are allergic to penicillin. At these doses, the drugs cause little inconvenience. They are not broad-spectrum antibiotics, have little long-term toxicity and do not give rise to unpleasant complications such as thrush in those predisposed to get this.
Penicillin or Erythromycin
I recommend either Penicillin V (phenoxymethyl penicillin) 125mgs twice daily or Erythromycin 250 mgs twice daily for those allergic to penicillin. Penicillin does not prevent infection from Haemophilus influenzae where the only orally active agent that can be conveniently given is Amoxicillin. About 10% of Haemophilus influenzae is now resistant to Amoxicillin and moreover this is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that may provoke troublesome thrush, especially in women.
We know from extensive experience and many reports that patients who have had their spleens removed for any reason are at a particular risk from developing overwhelming infection. It is also known that the spleen plays a special role in containing infections acquired usually outside this country eg malaria. In the vast majority of cases, overwhelming infection is due to the pneumococcus which is usually a penicillin-sensitive organism.
Trials in large series of persons whose spleen does not work properly have shown the benefits of immunisation with the vaccine Pneumovax II which gives substantial protection against pneumococcal sepsis. Further trials conducted in children in whom the spleen does not work have shown the benefits of prophylactic penicillin by mouth in relation to sepsis.
Although the efficacy of Mengivac (A+C) and Hib vaccines has been demonstrated in the population at large, they are not yet of proven value after splenectomy. These vaccines, however, have a good safety record and I feel they should also be given to patients with Gauchers disease who have no spleens .
Over the years I have had, like other doctors, experience of patients with-out a spleen who have developed serious bacterial infections, as well as malaria. In some cases, the consequence has been tragic.
I recommend immunisation with all three vaccines provided there are no specific contraindications, avoidance of exposure to organisms such as malaria, and the use of prophylactic penicillin or erythromycin if there is penicillin sensitivity.
Finally I advise that individuals without spleens should be wary of feverish illnesses and consult their doctors promptly. It is most important to realise that even when taking antibiotics and after immunisation, they may still be incubating an infection - one from which they and their doctors believe them to be protected.

It's okay.
We all struggle. We have this moments in our life where we mess up. But its okay… No, matter how nasty and disgusting life could be. Step up,pick yourself together and work on those little broken pieces that you are.
Because the world is not here for you to feel pity and pathetic about yourself. It's here to make you more stronger , more compassionate,loving,generous and understanding towards others.
Taking your own time to grow and evolve takes constant reminder that it is okay to make mistakes as long as you have the desire to change what is good for you and for others.
Accept your flaws… It's okay.

Jobs push tops Westchester leaders' agenda
Politicians and business leaders who met in Rye today say they have one priority: getting people back to work.
"Our most important priority is to get the economy moving to create jobs and the federal government working together with our local officials can create those jobs by providing incentives to hire," says Rep. Nita Lowey (D-18th District).
According to the Westchester Business Association, there is six million square feet of empty prime business real estate in the area, a sign of the county's sputtering economy.

Neifile is queen on this day. She suggests they skip Friday and Saturday, days of religious observance,and reconvene on Sunday. She also moves the brigata to a different palace, one with a magnificent garden. Neifile asks for stories about ingenuous people who have gotten something they wanted, or regained something they've lost through their wits.
Filostrato tells the first story. He begins by claiming people are stupid if they think a woman loses her sexual desires when she becomes a nun. He is going to tell a story to prove this idea wrong.
A man named Nuto returns home to Lamporecchio after working for some time as a gardener at a convent famed for its sanctity. A young man named Masetto talks to him about his time with the nuns—all young women—and decides to apply for the gardening job himself. Because he is young and handsome, Masetto is afraid he won't be hired, so he pretends to be deaf and mute.
He takes himself to the convent and, through sign language, speaks to the steward and helps him with various chores. After several days, the abbess notices him, and tells the steward to ask him to take on work as their gardener. Masetto accepts.
Masetto is napping in the garden one day when two nuns began to talk near him. They have heard of the pleasures of the flesh, and wish to experience them for themselves, and think Masetto would be perfect for this since he would be unable to tell their secret. He overhears everything and happily goes along with their plan. Eventually all of the nuns have the same idea, and Masetto begins sleeping with all of them.
The abbess also finds Masetto napping, and decides to take advantage of the situation. She leads him back to her room and enjoys him for several days, but her demands make it so he cannot satisfy all of the other nuns. He finally speaks—claiming God has just performed a miracle—and tells the abbess everything that has been going on. She realizes they will have to be more careful. The convent hires him as the steward (the old man had died just a few days prior) and things continue in the same manner. After a number of years, Masetto returns home, an old, wealthy man having fathered a number of children.
Here is another story of deceptive clergy, this time on the female side. Masetto practices deception as well, pretending to be deaf and mute, and appearing as something he is not so he can get what he wants. This story poses the question: "Who is using whom?" Masetto goes to the convent planning to service the nuns, and they use him for the same purposes, feeling secure he will be able to keep their secrets.
Even the abbess, the head of the convent, indulges. In fact, her appetites are so ravenous Masetto is unable to service the other nuns in his care. This is a common character trope to show the greediness and lustfulness of the clergy. This story also holds an example of class inversion—Masetto, a day laborer, tricks not just nuns, but the head of the convent, a woman belonging to a higher social class. In the end sexual appetite and cleverness win the day.

|I noticed there were no pictures of Largs on MB21 which I thought a bit strange as it`s hardly difficult to get to. It all became clear when I discovered the transmitter is on the roof of a school, Largs Academy. You can actually see the aerials from the road but these days taking pictures of a school with pupils in it may arouse paranoia.....
Fortunately I went on a Saturday afternoon and the place was devoid of children so I could not only take my pics but even get onto part of the grounds to get a better angle. Result !
|Largs Academy; the transmitter is just visible on the highest roof.
|Closer shot of Largs receive aerial (left) and transmit aerial (right). Largs TX and RX aerials are the opposite of most repeaters in that the TX aerial is horizontally polarised and the RX aerial is vertical. Since the latter is pointing in the direction of Rothesay I assume it's getting its signal from Black Hill via that TX.

Monday night, North Andover gave a resounding "yes" to a new senior center to be located behind China Blossom.
Town Meeting voters overwhelmingly – with near unanimity – approved a series of warrant articles that will allow construction to begin at the site, including accepting donated land upon which to build it.
After about eight years of discussion on where to put a new senior center, it appears the choice is on Sutton Street, where the former Knights of Columbus is behind China Blossom. The developer who owns the three-parcel property plans to put 136 residential units on it and has donated part of the land to the town to be used for the new senior center and 80 parking spots designated for that center.
"It is a donation of land – quite frankly, in terms of the magnitude of dollars – unheard of in the community, valued at close to three-quarters of a million dollars once it's improved," Town Manager Andrew Maylor said.
Proponents of the plan noted the current senior center on Main Street is just 7,200 square feet, much too small to fit even a fraction of the town's nearly 6,000 seniors.
"We have supported our community well in the past," Maria Rosati, of the North Andover Council on Aging, said. "It is time to celebrate a community that takes care of its children and its older adults."
Opponents of the project noted its distance from the center of downtown, where the current center sits in the back parking lot of Town Hall.
But Rosati noted there are shuttle buses for seniors to use to get around, and another member of the center said most of the seniors who go there still drive. And that has created a parking nightmare at the Town Hall/Senior Center complex.
Resident John Markuns, whose grandchildren attend North Andover schools, spoke out against the plan, saying he supports having a new senior center eventually, but the town could put the senior center at the proposed recreation complex behind the middle school.
"I'm certainly in favor of a new senior center in principle," Markuns said, before suggesting the town's class size problem – and the planned expansion of the middle school in the next few years – should take priority. "It's time for the town to re-prioritize, first with the crisis in our school system."
Maylor responded by pointing out the middle school expansion is set to happen regardless of the senior center vote and that, combining that with the new kindergarten set to open in a few months, the town was bringing class sizes down. Maylor also echoed Rosati's point that seniors have gone to Town Meeting and supported every capital project over the past several years and it's time for the town to return the favor.
"Tonight is that night – They have waited," Maylor said, followed by thunderous applause.
And the voters agreed. Other than a handful of people, almost the entire auditorium voted to advance the senior center relocation project.
Some other highlights from the evening:
Recreation not-so-complex: Speaking of the middle school, the town advanced further in its plan to build a massive town recreation complex behind the middle school. The plan calls for ball fields, a pavilion and more.
The Community Preservation Committee included $6 million in funding for the new recreation complex in its list of projects up for approval, with CPC Chairman John Simons calling the proposal "transformative" for the town.
Maylor said the complex should be completed within the next couple years.
Celebrating history: This year's Town Meeting honorees – residents picked out for honorable mention and to lead the room in the Pledge of Allegiance – were the members of the North Andover Historical Society.
Town Moderator Mark DiSalvo began the meeting by speaking about a little-known North Andover resident, William Simms, who more than 300 years ago helped break the Massachusetts tie in the Constitutional Convention by bucking North Andover Town Meeting voters and supporting the Constitution.
A Price-less future: This marked the final Town Meeting with North Andover Superintendent Jennifer Price. Price is leaving for a new position in another community, and she took a few minutes to tell North Andover how much the town has meant to her. She even gave an impassioned kudos to Maylor.
"The thing that I really appreciated was the collaboration," Price said. "I don't know if you know how lucky you are to have a town manager you have, in terms of Andrew Maylor. He has really created a plan for this community."
Charter study: You may have seen former Selectman Tracy Watson, who now serves on the CPC, handing out information at a table outside the auditorium. It wasn't for another run at elected office, though. This was related to a proposed charter study Watson is promoting, and she and her group were collecting signatures for that.

Water Treatment Devices for Home Use
The water quality problems described in this fact sheet may be resolved by use of a drinking water treatment unit. There are a wide variety of such devices available for home use. Health Canada works closely with NSF International to develop performance standards for water treatment devices. Consumers are encouraged to purchase products that have been certified to these standards.
Microbiological Contaminants
If elimination of the source of contamination is not possible after shock chlorine disinfection, consider the installation of a batch or continuous disinfection system or a new water supply. Some suitable devices are described in Table 2.
Table 2: Household Drinking Water Disinfection Devices
Well water should also be tested for hazardous chemicals whenever contamination is suspected. Chemical analysis of water samples can be provided by commercial testing laboratories. Some provincial health laboratories will analyse water for nitrate, which typically originates from farming activities and seepage from septic tanks. High concentrations of nitrate may cause "blue baby syndrome" (methaemoglobinaemia), a condition in which methaemoglobin cannot release oxygen to body tissues, and which mostly affects infants under three months of age. Other chemical contaminants of concern include pesticides, heavy metals and volatile organic compounds. Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality provides a list of maximum acceptable concentrations for these chemicals. If hazardous chemical contaminants are detected, you should consider the installation of a treatment device or a new water supply. Some suitable units are listed in Table 3.
Table 3: Chemical Removal Devices
Hardness, Taste, Odour and Colour
Well water contains naturally occurring minerals, such as calcium, iron and sulfur. Although these minerals are not hazardous to human health, they can alter the hardness, taste, odour or colour of the water when present in excess quantities. Groundwaters may also contain natural organic materials (tannins). Table 4 describes some signs that may indicate the presence of these substances in your well water and some solutions. In order to select the best treatment method, a full testing of the suite of minerals should be conducted prior to the purchase of a device.

Some really good things kind of swing both ways and I like to see people that can swing really, really, really sad and horrible and terrible and really, really, really beautiful and funny.
Then I went off to Southern Methodist University in Dallas. They had a really wonderful theatre department.
In movement class, you had to lie on the floor and get your alignment in to pass the class.
It's really interesting that whenever you do something that is so out of character, like having an emotional outburst, that you don't get in trouble.
The impetus behind going to graduate school was a year after graduating from college spent in Dallas working at the dog food factory and Bank America and not having met success in my chosen field, which at that point was being an actress.
Part of that is that New York has proved to be too much fun for me to live and work; I love New York so much.
The most glorious thing about working in the collaborative art is when you have somebody like Susan Kingsley or Kathy Bates who are better than your play.
That was always my inclination, to start on a new play before the other one gets done, because at least you'll have something to go back to if that play gets trashed.
You can't just go in there and open your mouth until the cast and director feel comfortable with you.

I have to admit to myself that this is not going to work out. My wife got a protective order on me last night so I am not allowed around her or my children. I spent all weekend looking for our son. I reported him as a missing person and registered him on the national missing children hotline and drove around all weekend to towns in a 30 mile radius looking for him. All the while my wife did nothing that I am aware of. I tried to keep her updated on what was going on and all she wanted to talk about was the cleanliness of the house. She didn't even act concerned that her son was gone. Sunday evening I got a call that they found him in a town about 30 minutes away. I went to get him and the he didn't have the things he stole from the house on him. (2 xboxs and a tablet) The police there told me to take him to our local police and fill out a stolen property report so when I got back to my town I had to stop at my house to get my daughter ready for her basketball game. My son got out of the car and refused to get back in so I tried to physically take him to the car, which is not illegal, and my wife came around the corner with her phone recording it. I put my hand up in front of her phone and tripped on the stairs. Then she threw her phone up the stairs and ran after it and called 911. When the police came they talked to us and said they weren't going to arrest anyone because nothing happened but they let her go to the magistrate to try to get a protective order on me and they let our delinquent son go with her. I asked them what was going on and they said they called the magistrate in on a Sunday so she could go. I said why can't I go and they said because she felt threatened. I told them our children were there watching the whole thing and can prove that I didn't do anything wrong. I said someone needs to talk to the children who will tell the truth and it doesn't make any sense to let the delinquent child go to the magistrate because of course he's going to throw me under the bus. Which is exactly what happened. So the cop comes back in an hour or so and gives me papers that I am temporarily banned from my house. He said he was surprised. I told him I wasn't because if a woman makes an accusation against a man the man doesn't stand a chance.
So my two oldest daughters left to go to friends houses. They said they are not coming home if she is there. My 10 year old daughter called me multiple times begging me to come and get her because she didn't want to be around my wife. She ended up locking herself in the bathroom and sleeping on the floor. While she had me on the phone I heard my 17 year old son in the background yelling at my wife telling her that he hates her and wants her to go away and leave our family alone. My wife has dug herself a hole that she doesn't understand. I've tried to help her but I just can't. She has something mentally wrong with her and she refuses any kind of help.
I think there are a couple things that contributed to her breakdown. She may have been served with my answer to her d papers where I said I want full custody of the children, child support and alimony. I'm sure that made her mad. Then I texted her Saturday night and told her I can't do this anymore. That I want her to come hold me and make everything better. Then when she woke me up Sunday morning I noticed that she had texted me back and said her dad isn't talking to her ever again because of what I have told him. I told her I haven't talked to her dad in months then I texted him and told him what she just said. He told me to tell her that his decision was based on her actions and nothing I had said. He said she was talking bad about ME last month and he was tired of it. I've never once talked bad about her to him or anyone. So I told her that I just texted him and what he said and she said she didn't want to hear it and I said "Well it's the truth. I've done nothing to offend you." Then she told me I need to stop yelling but I wasn't at all. I was just telling her what was said hoping she would understand that I didn't tell her dad anything. I even offered to give her my phone and let her read the text conversations. She refused that because I'm sure she didn't want to see that she was wrong.
So the best I can hope for is to make it through this with my children and wait for her to someday realize how wrong she is. I'm not saying I'm perfect but I'm trying and she's not.
I am so sorry, Eddie. My prayers go with you.
Thank you. I'm doing the best I can. I appreciate the prayers.
Eddie, I am so sorry you are going thru this . All the advice I can give you is to stand firm in your beliefs and to breathe . There are people praying hard for you , myself included. Don't give up and follow your heart. I don't know how you find the time to even follow me with all you have going on but I appreciate all you do. God's peace to you my friend.
Thanks so much. I keep teetering on the edge with my beliefs. It's so difficult thinking how in the world things can be so bad. I'm assuming God has big plans for me somehow.
Your first sentence. Saying this isn't going to work out. Do not believe that. Love believes the best. Just because the odds appear tougher than eve doesn't mean it can't work out.
You saying it won't work out is you putting yourself above God's abilities. My friend, emotions and the tiredness are affecting your thoughts, and your thoughts are affecting your words. Go back, and know He is God and can do everything.
Yes, she has free will and boy is she using it, for her will only. She is throwing it all at you. But, look at it this way. She is doing because she is fighting God's conviction, not because she's really angry at you. She's displacing her anger at God for how He's making her feel onto you. You are the target of this displaced anger because she can attack you, not Him.
It is so important now that you continue your testimony.
Things will settle sometime in her and it may be sooner than you think, and hopefully not longer than you think. And when that time comes, she may be open to seeing God's will and start seeking how to mend her ways.
You don't know, she doesn't even know now. But, you must keep standing firmly. If you do not, evil jumps for joy. You want the angels singing because you keep standing for the covenant of marriage. If a d happens, let it all fall on her. If a d happens, 10 days, 10 weeks, 10 months, and 50 years from now, you will be so happy you stood all the while in the deepest pit you have ever experienced.
If you have time. Go back and answer others journal entries like you have been because guess what, they need you. and a bigger surprise is you need to do it for you. Because when you want to give up or think the worse, that things can't happen it is real tough to keep those thoughts flowing in your mind when you tell people the opposite.
Do not worry about tomorrow. God has that covered. The things of today are enough to take in. Deal with what you have to deal with in the moment and let tomorrow take care of tomorrow.
Be strong, be couragous. Seek God''s strengthand wisdom and his peace. And extend that peace He gives you to her the next time you see or talk to her.
Continued prayers. You are doing well in all that is happening. Keep that going.
God trusted you to go to His will. And you did. Now He is trusting you that the trial has taken a new, even more bitter turn, that you will up your walk and continue down this path.
You have grown quickly. And the plant that grows quickly can either wither or mature when the season turns on it.
Choose now, wither with evil. Or mature in God.
Abraham was ready to kill his son. Can you imagine lifting a knife up and having your son look you in the eyes as you are ready to plunge the blade through his ribs? If Abraham was willing to do this for God, you can keep standing.
Be in comfort, it is still there. Peace be with you.
Will do tim. Thanks. It's inspiring to think I have a chance to stand tall in the deepest pit I have ever experienced.

Trichosporonoides nigrescens sp. nov., a new xerophilic yeast-like fungus
- 108 Downloads
- Citations
A new yeast-like fungus isolated from jam on two occasions is described as Trichosporonoides nigrescens. It is a true xerophile, able to grow at water activities at least as low as 0.75. For this reason, its carbon assimilation pattern was examined using both dilute (standard) and concentrated carbon sources: six to nine compounds not assimilated at the standard concentrations of 0.5% (0.001 to 0.1 mol/kg) were assimilated at 1.5 to 2.0 mol/kg. Cell wall and septal ultrastructure, DNA base ratios, and the nuclear cycle were examined to determine the generic and higher taxonomic affinities of this microorganism. All properties were consistent with its assignment to Trichosporonoides Haskins et Spencer. However, while ultrastructure indicated an affinity with the Basidiomycetes, the mitotic nuclear cycle and the xerophilic nature of this fungus suggested an Ascomycete affinity. The GC content (57%) is consistent with assignment to either. No teleomorphic state was found.

I have a confession to make.
I hate routines. And I am horrible at incorporating anything new into my daily skincare routine. I know the moisturizers and creams and exfoliators are so great for my skin, but I've just never taken the time to add these things to my daily routine. Honestly, it sounds like a chore (and who likes chores, am I right?).
The ladies working our store will roll their eyes at me for saying all this, but at the end of the day, I do agree with them: skincare *is important.* But… I am no esthetician. I'm a copywriter, and adding more minutes to my mirror time sounds excruciatingly painful (probably just as miserable as writing blog posts sounds to them. So that's why I do it!).
Anyway, now that I'm working for Skin1, I decided now is the time to really start caring for my skin. There's really no excuse not to. So here's the question I pondered for a while: what product can help my skin with minimal effort? And like magic, I saw a teal bottle from Hum Nutrition gracing our shelves. It's such a cute company, by the way. Seriously, check out their Instagram. They're branding is adorable, and it makes me want to soak up every little piece of advice they put on their social media accounts.
Hum Nutrition & Skin
Anyway, back to the whole reason you're reading this post—Hum's Daily Cleanse. It's a tiny capsule packed with an herb-nutrient blend (more on that in a sec) that I only have to worry about twice a day. I take it without food (so right when I wake up and hours after lunch at work). No fuss, mirrors or sink necessary. And literally after a few months, my skin is clearing up. I was really dealing with blotchy red skin and the occasional acne flare up. Plus every time I touched my skin, I could feel the damage the harsh winter had done to it—yes, it was like sandpaper (ok, not that bad, but still not great).
Currently, my skin tone looks even and it kind of has a youthful glow back to it. Plus it is smoothing back out, which is so nice, especially since I'm not dealing with the acne flare ups anymore. I'm really loving how easy this has been for me. And it's an extra bonus that I don't need to put foundation on everyday anymore. (double win!)
Daily Cleanse
The Daily Cleanse does exactly what it sounds like it should: it cleanses your major organs—skin, liver, bowel, kidneys, and lungs. So this vegan and ethically-sourced capsule is cleaning your skin from the inside out. Pretty cool, huh?
So what's in it that it works so well? Things like beetroot, red clover, milk thistle, organic green algae, matcha green tea, and a bunch of other ingredients that I would never eat on my own free will. But in capsule form, you never have to worry about a bad broccoli after-taste and you still get all the good benefits of these detoxing ingredients.
And it literally has just a hair under 5 stars rating on their website (so maybe a 4.85? We're just guessing here). So it's clearly working for those who have way different skin types than me. So if you're anything like me—a.k.a. clueless about skin care even if you desperately need it—then check out the Daily Cleanse. You're going to be wondering why you didn't come across this sooner.

Zotero won't start: Report ID:1967994057
I am trying to start Zotero and it would not start.
The message keep coming up : There was an error starting Zotero.
Anyone know this problem?
The message keep coming up : There was an error starting Zotero.
Anyone know this problem?
This is for Macbook by the way.
So first, your Report ID is from Safari 9, which is too old for the current Zotero Connector. You should upgrade to Safari 10 and install the current version of the Zotero Connector.
For the problem with Zotero itself, see Reporting Startup Errors.
Thanks very much!
I just finished all the updates on my Mac. I though this would have sorted the issue.
My Zotero is updated as well.
I just updated the Safari to Safari 11. And then installed the latest version of Zotero and Zotero Connector.
Still the same issue.
Just did that and below came up:

OK, right, so something is preventing Zotero from accessing files in the Zotero profile directory. That could be file permissions (e.g., if you migrated files from another machine or use account) or it could be security software (which isn't that common a Mac).
Thanks Dstillman! is there a way to fix files accessing problems?
You can do that from the bottom of Finder's Get Info pane (after unlocking), but since that's unrelated to Zotero it's not really something we can walk you through. But you'd want to make sure that all folders and files under the profile directory were owned and writable by your current user account. To be clear, though, they always would be by default.
I have checked all the files. Still no luck.
I noticed this problem started happening straight after I updated my OS on Mac.
You can try simply renaming /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Zotero to /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Zotero-Old and then starting Zotero.
If that works, you can close Zotero and copy the prefs.js file and 'zotero' folder (if there is one) from within the Zotero-Old profile to the equivalent location in the new one.
Thanks! Now Zotero is starting up. I can see my own collection.
However, I cannot cite while I write on Word.
What's happening?
First thing to try is reinstalling the Word plugin from the Cite -> Word Processors pane of the Zotero preferences.
Have done this already!
My bad.
Report ID: 809759349
I am using Microsoft Word Version 15.40 (171108).
My Zotero plugin for Word is updated.
However, I am unable to use citations as before.
While I can see the Add/Edit Citation tab in word, clicking on it to add item to the document does not do anything.
Zotero is open by the way.
I have just restarted the system just now as well.
Do you get a message prompt from Word saying that Word could not communicate with Zotero or is nothing happening at all upon a click? How about when Zotero is closed?
No message! Nothing happening at all.
When Zotero is closed then it says not able to communicate.
Can you submit a Debug ID for an attempt to click the Word button that results in no response or error message:
Here is the debug ID: D1691744940
Okay, the Zotero developers will look at that and see if they can see what is happening.
@mohammad.anwar: There's a large active sync in that debug output, so it's hard to see anything about Word integration, but you're still getting lots of permissions errors, now in your Zotero data directory. Something seems to be wrong with permissions across your files — I don't know if you copied files from another Mac or there's some other cause, but you'll need to fix these permissions or various things won't work properly."Unix error 13 during operation remove on file /Users/[…]/Zotero/storage/BBNZ4H6A/all.js (Permission denied)
Separately, I would try to remove the Zotero.dot/Zotero.dotm files from your Word startup folder, restart Word and ensure that the plugin is gone, and then generate a Debug ID for reinstalling from the Cite pane of the preferences (and post it here if the plugin still doesn't work). Make sure that there's not an active sync when you generate the Debug ID.
@dstillman: I did not copy any files from any other Mac.
I am not sure how to fix permissions since I am not literate in technical stuff.
I have old back up on a time machine. Can I delete these files for Zotero and copy them from one of the old ones?
By way here is the Debug ID D902082987.
Just to let you know Zotero is starting. I can see my libraries and references as stored. I can add references on Zotero manually and directly from the Safari.
But Word seems to be having problem.
There still is a sync activity in the debug log. If you are getting a perpetual sync that never ends, the first thing to do there would be fix file permissions. Incorrect permissions are also most certainly the cause of Zotero not working with the word processor, since the Zotero and Word communicates through a file descriptor.
Zotero needs to be able to access and write to /Users/[username]/Library/Containers/com.microsoft.Word/Data for Word plugin in addition to the profile directory and data directory

I have checked the permissions and those are all owned and writable by me (user).
I found two folders named Zotero and Zotero-old
Can I delete the old one?

Charles Stewart House, situated on Chamber Street, Edinburgh, was originally built in 1875. L&H completed Phase 2 of the refurbishment works which comprise of a new staff breakout area, meeting room and gender neutral toilets.
Formed within a Grade B Listed building, the new staff breakout area creates a central hub in the building for staff to eat and informal gatherings to take place. A fully accessible kitchen and moveable furniture allows the space to be used by all users, whilst the timber battens continue the architectural language used in the previously handed over Entrance/Reception Area Works.
A new suite of gender neutral toilets have been formed alongside the breakout area, acting as a pioneer in institutional WC provision. An existing small teapoint has been repurposed as a rooflit meeting space.
These upgrade works, along with the completed entrance/reception area form part of a larger strategy to improve a significant staff building that forms a central part of the University estate.

Value chain should drive profit model
Updated: 2011-09-23 08:37
By Jiang Desong (China Daily)
There are still many lessons to learn 10 years after China joined the World trade organization
Chinese companies are not active in going out and harnessing global resources 10 years after the country joined the World Trade Organization. So how can they obtain and use such resources?
Over the past 10 years the Chinese economy has been the most stable and the fastest growing. At the end of last year China replaced Japan as the world's second-largest economy, justifying its entry into the WTO. Doubts over the WTO's potential damage to China's domestic market have evaporated, and Chinese companies are eager to reshape competition in the world market.
But have they mastered the skills to be competitive?
The world order has changed greatly since China entered the WTO. The new international trade system, the export-led model to economic growth and WTO rules have pushed China into the downstream of the economic value chain.
It has become apparent over the past 10 years that there are essentially five ways in which Chinese companies are harnessing or trying to harness international resources. Analyzing these methods will help us decipher global trends and to draw a picture of the competition system and the industry value chain.
1. Demand and supply
The massive expansion of Chinese-made products has triggered the country's demand for raw materials, especially in bulk commodities including petroleum, natural gas, coal, and iron ore. Since 2003 Chinese enterprises have tried to break the bottleneck of resource shortages through overseas mergers and acquisitions.
However, acquisitions by Chinese State-owned companies overseas have been controversial. Countries, particularly developed ones, have been wary of such acquisitions, so the success rate has been low. Scarce energy resources have also contributed to this resistance.
China is eager to buy resources from upstream industries to stabilize domestic supply, but once the economy slows and overseas demand drops, inventory in the end-use market will increase, as will capital depreciation in upstream industries.
2. The value chain
For a long time Chinese companies have failed to invest enough in branding, sales venues, and studying consumer behavior. When the cost of "made in China" rises, companies need to shift their attention to brand, technology and upstream resource management.
China Dongxiong Sports is an example. It analyzed consumer behavior in China's sportswear market, and bought Kappa in the mainland from Italy's BasicNet. Its focus on brand management has resulted in Kappa's excellent performance. The design and marketing strategies work very well in the market place.
3. Global business expansion
Expanding overseas is the ultimate goal of many Chinese businesses. Setting up transnational enterprises is not just a question of business, but can bring into play political rivalry and issues of cross-cultural integration.
The state of China's foreign currency reserves has raised many management challenges. The Chinese government set up sovereign investment funds like China Investment Corporation to focus on overseas investment. And some State-controlled commercial banks, such as the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, have begun making acquisitions and setting up branches overseas. Previously, China Merchants Bank had bought Wing Lung bank of Hong Kong.
Overseas financial management is at the center of this way of using resources.
4. Takeovers and acquisitions
Over the past 10 years Chinese enterprises have made great strides in acquiring traditional manufacturing industries overseas. Indeed, the scope has widened to high-end manufacturing. China can now take charge of such transfers as domestic demand for such industry is still high.
5. Copy innovation
China can match the rest of the world in the Internet not because of technological innovation, but because of business mode replication. This kind of integration has given rise to Internet talents such as Robin Li of Baidu and Charles Zhang of Sohu.
They have all borrowed on the business model from that of developed countries' high-tech industries. Their key word is service, they keep their eye on market changes and they localize the business model they are copying.
They have also made use of private funds and international capital markets. By doing so they multiply their market value to realize their competitive edge.
In January the WTO Director-General, Pascal Lamy, said that China's entry to the organization had been a winning proposition for all members. Furthermore, he said that the WTO would not be a world trade organization without China.
Such comments can be applied to the past 10 years, but of course new problems have been thrown up. When China dives head first into the globalization tide as the world's second largest economy, what will become of the global economy?
Japan once wanted to replace the US order but found itself knocked back by globalization and its cultural insularity. Now China has shown its strength in global competition, but a Chinese version of globalization is impractical.
Harnessing global resources will remain the theme for many years. Harnessing resources does not necessarily mean capturing them, or acquisition being the only one way ahead.
Modern business organizations are born to create profits, and various business models are derived from various profit growth models. Harnessing resources comes down to this: improving a company's profit growth and ensuring that the company stays competitive.
The traditional profit model relies on mass production, professional division and technological innovation. All these can keep commodity prices to the minimum. However, goods are now abundant, and price is not the sharp-edged tool to attract consumers that it once was. Companies need more than low prices to make competitive and sustainable long-term profits and to increase the company's value.
Apple's success over the past 10 years has demonstrated a new business trend. Apple has established a new trans-industry business chain with different industry values by setting up a business connection between its iPod, iPhone, iTunes products and its service.
In this new industry value chain, consumers can define their own consumption, meaning we have a real consumer-led business model. Apple avoided direct competition with its adversaries. In contrast, its mobile phone rivals still focus on market share, spending huge amounts on marketing. Competition is fierce, but the outcome leaves something to be desired.
Rather than focusing on competition in the industry value chain, global commerce now focuses on integration in that chain. Louis Gerstner, the CEO who led the successful transformation at IBM, was fully aware of that. With his strategic reforms at "Big Blue" he avoided chasing after extreme technology innovation, and at the same time made sure he did not provoke his rivals. One important factor in his success was helping clients deepen their knowledge of information technology, and helping them know how to make use of it to improve company value.
