UK based consultancy company GeoPartners has announced a new 2D seismic survey offshore Sierra Leone
In partnership with the Petroleum Directorate of Sierra Leone, this survey will support the fourth offshore petroleum licensing round planned for later this year, the company said in a statement.
The company added that the survey will consist of more than 9,000 km of new data and cover the full extent of the offshore area available in the licensing round.
It also stated that the acquisition is scheduled to begin after the necessary regulatory approvals have been completed and a subset of the data will be available for companies participating in the licensing round.
Jim Gulland, director of GeoPartners, said: "We are proud to have been awarded this contract by the Petroleum Directorate to support their ongoing exploration efforts and specifically the forthcoming licence round."
"The new survey is the first to cover the entire offshore area from shallow to ultradeep water, providing ties to all existing wells and allowing a complete evaluation of the available acreage. Sierra Leone has proven oil discoveries and this new long offset survey will highlight the potential of this underexplored area," he added.

18.12.2015 by Rovertune
Land Rover has changed the way that a new vehicles service history is recorded.
For all new vehicles purchased on, or after 1st July 2013, Land Rover Franchised Dealerships will no longer be providing with the vehicle paper service history booklets. From this date, Land Rover (via their main dealerships) will store all scheduled services, related service items and body inspections securely online. Customers will of course be able to access their vehicle service record by contacting any Land Rover Franchised Dealership should they elect to have service work carried out within the main dealer network. Upon each subsequent service visit customers service records will be updated accordingly.
However, for the many customers who come to Rovertune Ltd. for all their servicing and repair requirements, either during a new vehicle warranty period, or after its expiry, you will not be compromised by not having a new vehicle service book, as a result of this manufacturer driven change, because Rovertune Ltd is one of a very few Independent Specialists who have been accredited by Land Rover to use their official Online Service History system. We can also obtain the service history of any vehicle registered for the online system in exactly the same way as Main Dealers.
The EU Directive which allows Independent Garages to service vehicles within the manufacturers standard warranty period (or any extended warranty duration) without compromising its validity still remains in place and will continue to remain in place until 2023, when it can reasonably be expected to be renewed and extended for a third time.
At Rovertune Ltd., we hope that all current, and potential customers, will continue to have their new vehicle purchases serviced and maintained by us (to benefit from major cost savings when compared with Main Dealer charges) whilst we guarantee to service vehicles strictly in accordance with Land Rover recommendations using genuine parts with the correct oil and fluid specifications. Under the Online Service History requirements your vehicle must be serviced in exactly the same manner as it should be if it had gone to a franchised dealer. You will be given official Land Rover documentation to confirm this point. For vehicles that have not yet been entered into the new online service history system but have been serviced at Rovertune Ltd, should you need to make a claim for work to be carried out under warranty we will be able to make available to you, upon request, a fully comprehensive service history of your vehicle to present to any Land Rover Dealership in support of your claim.
All of our service and repair invoices are held securely within our own systems, but are also fully 'backed-up' again and totally secure through a specialist data storage facility, so that a potential loss of any customer records is extremely remote.
For vehicles that are not as yet registered within the Land Rover Online Service History system we record on invoices full details of all work undertaken, parts used and any recommendations that need action either immediately, or in the future. We will continue to issue any appropriate certificates to confirm that where a vehicle has been serviced within the warranty period, all work has been undertaken in total compliance with Land Rover requirements, that genuine parts have been used whilst all oils and fluids conform exactly to Land Rover specifications. We will also attach to your service invoice a copy of the official Land Rover Maintenance Check Sheet (as used by Franchised Dealers) identifying every single service item/action required in a particular service and proving that each item/action has been implemented. You will also be advised when your next service will be due both by time, or mileage intervals.
Land Rover Dealerships will always advise that servicing carried out by them is always to the highest level. At Rovertune Ltd. we guarantee to match that statement and even go beyond, whilst at all times providing the very highest level of customer care and service that can be expected. Our technicians are all fully Land Rover trained and will keep your vehicle running at peak performance. We are also officially connected continuously online to Land Rovers technical systems (TOPIx, the same as used within the Main Dealer network) and also have an official online feed for all of the current Land Rover vehicle software updates as they are released by the manufacturer to rectify past problems and improve older vehicles operation by bringing them up to date with improved vehicle performance.
In summary, now that paper service history documentation is no longer provided with new vehicles from July 2013, we at Rovertune Ltd. will undertake to hold securely for its customers all relevant service related documentation similar to that which Franchised Dealerships hold. This to include:-
For further information, or if you require any clarification on the above, please telephone Rovertune Ltd. on 0118 950 2777, or contact us by email at firstname.lastname@example.com or through the direct link on our website contact page.

Under pressure from the government, Shiv Sena today indicated its willingness to shift Bal Thackeray's memorial to the margins of Shivaji Park in the city.
"Shiv Sainiks will with their own hands shift the 'samadhi sthal' a little," Sena executive president Uddhav Thackeray said in a statement in party mouthpiece 'Saamna', of which he is the new editor.
"The stance of Shiv Sena on the 'samadhi sthal' has always been that of restraint. A permanent 'samadhi sthal' will come up at the 'Shiv Teerth' by shifting the present samadhi sthal a little," Uddhav said.
Uddhav's readiness to shift back the structure to the margins of the Shivaji Park in Mumbai is a climb down from earlier announcements by senior party leaders that Shiv Sainiks would not budge from the present structure.
The Sena leader's statement comes in wake of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation giving a notice to the party over the structure.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan had also said that Shivaji Park, a large open ground in central Mumbai, was given to the Shiv Sena for Bal Thackeray's cremation only and they must vacate it.
"Shivaji Park was given for Thackeray's cremation on the grounds that it will be returned in the same condition. We want the Shiv Sena to abide by the conditions and follow the law," Chavan had said.
Since Bal Thackeray's death last month, the Shiv Sena had been pressing for a memorial to be built at Shivaji Park.
Sena workers had gathered in large number at the funeral site amid reports that the authorities were planning to remove the structure that has come up at the place.
Opposing the demand for a Thackeray memorial at Shivaji Park, the state Congress had said no "other" memorial should come up at the sprawling ground in central Mumbai.
"Shivaji Maharaj is a God for people of Maharashtra. His memorial is already there at Shivaji Park," MPCC chief Manikrao Thakre had said.
The 86-year-old Sena chief was cremated on November 18 at Shivaji Park, the same ground where he had addressed his followers during Dussehra rallies for over 40 years.

MISSOULA – Following a spring 2017 semester of student-led data collection and a summer of report polishing and editing, the University of Montana earned a bronze rating through The Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education's Sustainability Tracking, Assessment & Rating System.
UM earned a STARS score of 41.99, surpassing the minimum score of 25 needed to attain the Bronze distinction. Among other highlights, the STARS report cites UM's climate change studies minor, efforts to support sustainability literacy and engagement across all disciplines, and success in reducing its greenhouse gas emissions through energy efficiency and attention to energy consumption as contributors to the final rating.
The full report is online at http://bit.ly/2mlVWyt.
"Since 2010, we have worked steadfastly toward our climate action goals," said UM President Sheila Stearns. "Through energy efficiency projects and carbon offsets, UM met its 2015 emissions reduction target. Our distinctive academic programs and innovative research in climate change, sustainability, environmental studies and natural resource conservation have enduring histories and a thriving presence across many disciplines. In short, our climate action efforts are just one expression of a robust campus culture of sustainability.
"We understand, however, that our responsibility to act will never expire and that there is more to do," Stearns continued. "We will continue our efforts to fully embed climate action into our campus sustainability efforts and community partnerships. We remain dedicated to this work, understanding that the decisions we make now can be catalysts for protecting the health of our population, our economy and our natural setting. As a part of this commitment, we will consider new climate action goals this academic year with our new president and will establish adaptive strategies for meeting our targets. Our efforts have taught us that we must set a pace that is ambitious but feasible. Already, new UM efforts are underway."
This is the second time UM has participated in STARS, a self-assessment tool used by higher education institutions to measure sustainability progress. STARS helps UM set and meet sustainability goals while fostering collaboration and information-sharing across campus. STARS also enables the University to measure benchmarks alongside peer institutions.
Participating in STARS requires a substantial amount of data collection in four main categories: academics, engagement, operations, and planning and administration. Numerous employees across campus helped with the data collection effort.
For more information email Eva Rocke, UM sustainability coordinator, at email@example.com.

What makes you choose a particular bottle of wine? Is it because it's on offer? Maybe you're influenced by a nice looking label? Or it could just be because you have a favourite (Argentinian Malbec if you're asking, or buying...). In a similar vein, when walking along the high street trying to find somewhere to eat or drink, you might get your phone out and check reviews, you might stop and read a menu, or you might say, "Oh, this place looks nice?"
The point is, like it or not, design is all around us and affects all of our daily lives. From choosing a mobile phone to buying a house or even just choosing some fast food, design affects our purchase decisions.
As an E-Commerce retailer, if you don't understand that these design based decisions happen online, you may be losing sales.
Earlier this week, Chris Dicken wrote a fantastic blog, which had a good example of A/B testing. We saw that by simply having things in line, with good clear 'call to action' buttons, we are more likely to make a purchase. I'd like to look a little more into the psychology behind design, to understand exactly why our purchases are dictated by it.
Hick's Law
Firstly, let me ask you a question: What would you choose from the menu pictured above this blog?
How many times have you sat in a restaurant staring at a menu, not knowing what to choose? I do it all the time. Sometimes, I'm so distracted by the sheer amount of options I'm not even reading, just vaguely eyeing up section after section getting no nearer my goal of choosing.
This brings me onto 'Hick's Law'. Hick's law basically states that the more options an individual has, the longer it takes to choose. Give me a simple menu any day; you don't see Michelin starred restaurant menus with masses of options. A smaller menu indicates several things to me, and is another argument for being 'Niche', as mentioned in a previous Sellerdeck Blog.
• Fresh produce, specific to that day's menu
• Easier (thus better?) prep for the chefs
• Chefs specialise in that dish, rather than having too much to do
• Eliminates the delay in choice for me!
Of course, sat delaying over a menu in a restaurant is one thing, but you don't really do that at a computer screen. A user may have a number of tabs open, but if they can't find what they want and how to buy it instantly, they may look elsewhere. You also don't want users being distracted when purchasing, so make sure your product pages and checkout process is clear and streamlined as possible – don't let users click away.
The influence of 'Social'
Don't fear, calm down; for once I am not talking about Social Media... No, instead I am talking about society in general. For a moment, I'd like you to think back. For my older readers, think back to the funky wall paper you had in the 60's or 70's, for my younger readers, think about that amazing 'Black shirt/white trousers' ensemble you wore to a New Year's Eve party when you were 14 (... please say that wasn't just me?).
I'm going to guess (hope) that that funky wallpaper is gone, and I promise you I no longer wear the big barcode outfit. Social influence changes what we think looks good, and this moves on fast. Look how mobile phones have developed in the last few years, and even the humble bottle of wine now relies on modern graphics and design. Whilst speaking at a conference once, I used the example of a top salesman in 1990. He's got a brand new car, a sharp new suit and the latest hands free mobile phone. Skip forward to 2015 and he's in the same car, the same suit and using the same phone. The car looks old, tatty and rusted; the suit is torn and dirty and the mobile no longer even functions.
One last area I will comment on is your choice of typeface (font). I had a moment of despair the other day when I heard someone say they like using 'Comic Sans' because it's fun. It isn't fun, it's a horrible font that screams 'unprofessional'. Your font choice can literally be the difference between making a sale or not.
It's worth bearing in mind that due to modern web technology like CSS3, we are no longer limited in our 'web friendly' font choices. Your font choice can portray emotion or feeling and connect with the right audience. Have a look at the examples below for some font types, for different purposes.
The other area to consider is your 'kerning'. For those that haven't heard of kerning, it is the spacing between each letter. Sometimes, it can look better a bit bunched up, for a logo maybe? Whereas spaced out lettering can give a modern or open look. If you're unsure, ask an expert!
Quite frankly, I could make this blog 2 or 3 times longer with ease. I could show you examples and discuss various areas of our day-in-day-out lives where design affects our decision, but I'd bore you all. Take a look around; have a look at your office, or your kitchen, lounge or even your street. Design is everywhere, there is no getting away. Like the example I used in the first paragraph of finding a restaurant, there's a lot that goes into successful business; reviews, visibility, price etc. However, if your E-Commerce store isn't taking design seriously, it needs to.
Of course, here at Sellerdeck, we can help with everything from your site's layout, functionality and design to your branding. Get in touch now to find out more!

Thank you for Subscribing to Apac CIO Outlook Weekly Brief
Robotics and Computer Vision: Is the World Ready for Disruption?
By Dr Sue Keay, Chief Operating Officer, Australian Centre for Robotic Vision
Dr Sue Keay, Chief Operating Officer, Australian Centre for Robotic Vision
It's an exciting time to be involved in robotics and computer vision research and to witness the advances that have been wrought by the adoption of deep learning. Algorithms can be trained to do amazing things and via networking, these learning's can be distributed across computer systems and of course robots!
Thanks to accelerating advances in sensors, actuators, computation and machine-to-machine communication, we are reaching a tipping point in both robotics and computer vision where robots are gaining visual perception. This is the step required to make robots truly useful and safe to humans. By applying software algorithms for computer vision, robots are able to analyze and extract a range of useful information from images they capture using cameras.
"Robotic vision is the key enabling technology that will allow robotics to transform industries, disrupt markets, and ensure that robots become a common feature of the modern world."
No robot enters our robotics lab without something like a Kinect sensor being attached to collect visual information. Now Intel has developed Euclid, which acts as both camera and computer, making it easier to develop robots with vision capabilities.
But what do robots with vision look like? Some of the robots we have been able to create by combining vision and robotics include:
- An underwater robot that culls crown of thorns starfish – addressing an impending ecological crisis, which alone human divers cannot contain.
- An agricultural robot that can see the difference between weeds and crops and precisely
- A fruit picking robot that can harvest bell peppers and overcome the chronic shortage of labor during picking season.
And this is just the beginning. In the near future, computers will be faster, cameras will be cheaper and the need for robots will be pressing. The amount of data being collected by robots will be overwhelming and the pace of change will be relentless. We are already facing a skills shortage of people who are specialists in the fields of robotics, computer vision and data science. What does that mean for companies with no specialty in the disruptive technologies coming their way? What about companies without a CIO?
For smart companies, this will be the age of opportunity. Already companies like Tesla are harnessing the networked information they are collecting by applying truly agile manufacturing principles to address design challenges as they occur. What about other companies? In many countries, industry is dominated by small to medium-sized enterprises that have limited capacity to rapidly adapt to changing circumstances, particularly when the changes can have an impact over such a wide range of applications. For these companies, disruptive technologies are a big risk. How can they alleviate this risk and instead harness the opportunity?
First, work practices will need to fundamentally shift to lean and agile. Everyone who hasn't already will be embracing entrepreneurship. The ability to pivot and adapt to changing circumstance or to drive change will become hallmarks of successful businesses. Adaptability will be a core competence for employees. Governments and legal systems will need to find ways to rapidly respond to new and unique situations with no relevant history or case law to rely on to help support decision-making and policy setting.
Next, knowledge will be distributed. The volume of information and the pace of change will mean that trusted intermediaries will form an important role as knowledge brokers to help companies navigate the complexities of ongoing disruption. The developers of disruptive technologies will increasingly have a moral obligation to ensure that people in all parts of the world understand the changes that are about to impact them. Distilling the vast pools of information that will be available into chunks that are digestible to the human brain will be an ongoing challenge.
Robotic vision is the key enabling technology that will allow robotics to transform industries, disrupt markets, and ensure that robots become a common feature of the modern world. Understanding this disruption is an opportunity in itself.

Most silver jewelry will darken over time and may develop a patina. Periodic cleaning with a jewelry polishing cloth will keep silver jewelry white. Never use harsh chemicals to clean your jewelry such as toothpaste or jewelry cleaning solution. A soft bristled toothbrush and warm water can help remove light residue from your jewelry.
Always avoid wearing jewelry while swimming, showering and sleeping.
The Toolbox by Sachs Design collection has been designed to fade over time. With regular wear your oxidized jewelry will become brighter and over time will developed elegant silver or copper highlights.

Jeremy Corbyn's new shadow cabinet has met for the first time after a shake-up dubbed "the longest reshuffle in history" and weeks of public rows.
It was all smiles as the Labour leader and his most senior colleagues posed for photographs on Tuesday morning during the meeting in Westminster.

Those in attendance included Emily Thornberry, the Islington South and Finsbury MP and critic of Trident who was promoted to shadow defence secretary.

Hilary Benn, the shadow foreign secretary who remained in post despite intense speculation he would be sacked, was also present.

In the last week Michael Dugher, the shadow culture secretary, was sacked and Catherine McKinnell, the shadow attorney general, resigned from her post.
Mr Corbyn attempted to draw a line under the changes on Monday during an appearance on BBC Radio Four's Today programme.
Shadow Foreign Secretary Hilary Benn (Left) attends the Labour party leader Jeremy Corbyn's first shadow cabinet meeting since last week's reshuffle (PA)
The Labour leader said: "A reshuffle is never easy. And there is never a good time to do it. We have a shadow cabinet that is strong. We have a team which is strong.
"We have widened the shadow cabinet to represent the diversity of the country and the Parliamentary Labour Party. I am happy with it. We are moving on."

As reported in an earlier post, i have experienced isses with the Hatshepsut Project on Wikiversity, launched by Anneke Bart. The fact is that i get confused with the coding involved in posting additional items. This is purely an issue on my part, but it means i have not yet added to Anneke's work. Apoligies again, Anneke - i will get through this, but i may need my wife on hand as she is FAR more patient than i am
Hatshepsut Project has a number of aims. Cataloging all the Hatshepsut finds noted within the project are now a priority. For now i am beginning to collect information on various museums' Hatshepsut artifacts:
* Metropolitan Museum of Art
* British Museum
* Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
The information being gathered will be prepared on an Excel (test) spreadsheet (yep, that's my level i'm afraid!). Here i will log every item, provide links, descriptions, etc. This information will then be transferred to Wikiversity at a later date.
Well, that's the plan at least. I know my way around Excel- or at least i hope i do !

The GMO Elephant in the Room - from the Trenches of America's Hidden Food WarApril Scott Salem-News.com
Many scientists, farmers, pure food activists and a few brave politicians want you to know that it's not too late to turn it around and recapture our agricultural heritage before the food ship sinks.
(SALEM, Ore.) - A large grass-roots movement is diligently advocating for your right to pure non-genetically modified food and honest labeling. In most states, you won't see their name on any ballot, nor will you see them on TV amidst economic crisis and Middle East talks.
In a rare, but impervious display of integrity, several state senators have urged the Food and Drug Administration to stop the approval process for genetically modified salmon, including Oregon's very own Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley.
Many of our pure food advocates feel dismayed, because they're always preaching to the choir from the trenches of the infinite battle. They commonly take every opportunity to educate the public and everyone they know about the dangers of the GMO industrial food chain. This faction of society is working to educate the public, as quickly as possible, while holding off the big dogs in court by the skin of their teeth.
Food advocates aren't embraced by any political party and they haven't been invited to any tea parties either, although I'm not sure why the tea touting conservatives haven't jumped out of their skins to beat the bandwagon to protect our agricultural heritage, farmer's rights and America's liberties.
It's tough trying to educate a public that doesn't seem all that interested in examining their consumption habits. Many people don't want to know what they don't know, possibly because they think it's going to be too hard or it's hopeless to change how and what they consume. It's a very personal subject, and people can get awful touchy about their food. That's why it's so important to wake up and realize that the food supply no longer resembles what our Grandparents ate. Our parents weren't raised on the food we're feeding our children and depending on your age, neither were you.
Genetically modified food is a fairly recent development introduced into the food supply without our permission, consent or notification. We haven't been given any opportunity to object to our forced subjection by a man-made mutant organism inundated throughout our food supply. They are violating the genetic keys of life by crossing barriers of species and entire kingdoms to recreate what is naturally, already perfectly balanced.
Perhaps a new plague will result. Who knows? They don't, and our faith in them is misguided. They have no interest to serve but the almighty dollar. You can consider Washington the corporate mother, she protects her own. She by no means, represents Mother America, Mother Earth, nor its people. The people have been led astray, like little cloned sheep. We have been misled by Washington, the media and American corporations with regard to consumer safety and the environmental impact of GMO crops.
Consumer advocates anticipate the awareness as it unfolds, with Americans awakening to the fact that our federal government has failed to protect our safety and our right to know what we are eating and feeding our families. Our favorite products are not the same as they were 15 years ago and they only resemble what mama used to make.
The producers hope you won't notice that they have slowly injected about 80 percent of your diet with genetically engineered soy, corn, canola and a host of other genetic re-creations.
It is not known what the "genetic Rubik's Cube" will do to us, or the environment. They don't know how genetic restructuring will affect the long term health of infants, children or your grandma. They do know, however that lab tests on animals fed a variety of GMO foods demonstrated alarming health effects.
Genetically engineered food is not being labeled for two reasons. One, you probably wouldn't buy it. And two, if you can't track it, you can't control it; meaning you don't have any idea how much of it is in your diet. You, therefore don't know what products may be causing health problems. You could limit them or adjust your intake to see if there's a pattern, but how can you limit unknown ingredients? Without labels, there's no way of knowing, unless you choose organic. Organic standards prohibit the use of genetically engineered ingredients. My personal experience and a lot of other testimonials will vouch for the incredible results of cleansing your diet of genetically engineered, pesticide laden foods. We've had everything to lose from weight and allergies, chronic disease and even behavioral challenges with our children, or so I've seen.
Slight of Hand
In September, the FDA Panel of Veterinary Medicine held hearings on whether to allow genetically engineered salmon to be put on the market for public consumption.
The re-developed "salmon" grows twice as fast and makes twice the money. For the moment, they've decided, not to decide. GE salmon is viewed by the FDA as a new animal drug.
The process doesn't look at what happens to consumers who eat the GE organism. Discussions have taken place behind closed doors and AquaBounty Technologies can classify much of their research and data as confidential. The FDA didn't evaluate the human impact of the growth hormone because it has a patented design.
They say the fish is not any different from nature's salmon and therefore it would be deceiving to inform the consumers and so product labeling will be non-existent. In order to get a patent on a product, it has to be different from everything else on the market.
Yet, they claim that genetically engineered products are not any different and therefore they need no regulation or labeling. Either they're different, or they're not. You can't have it both ways (unless you can pay for it).
Twist of Fate
Critics, including groups like Consumer's Union, the Center for Food Safety and Food & Water Watch, say the Aqua Bounty has not done sufficient studies to prove the fish is safe.
They also criticize the FDA for allowing only 14 days for the public review even though the company submitted its bid more than a decade ago.
The good news is that several senators have come out in defense of public safety, including Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley.
They are led by Alaska Democrat Mark Begich who told FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg that the agency is using the wrong process for evaluating the safety of the modified fish and that the public is being left out.
Other senators who signed the protest letter were Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, Bernard Sanders, I-Vt., Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., Ron Wyden, D-Ore., Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., and Jon Tester, D-Mont.
Many scientists, farmers, pure food activists and a few brave politicians want you to know that it's not too late to turn it around and recapture our agricultural heritage before the food ship sinks. I don't want to be "chicken little" about it, but the sky is rapidly collapsing around GMO proponents and their back alley science. Scientists that have discovered GMO's damaging results have been fired or otherwise silenced, due to large amounts of political pressure, although the tides are changing.
Snake Oil
Farmers all over the world, and particularly in Iowa, are awakening to the notion that the snake oil salesman got their tongue. They have been bullied into a corner and have discovered that their once fertile soil has become dead of nutrients, polluted and rocky with widespread water contamination. They have to use increasing amounts of pesticides because pests and weeds have built up tolerance and it takes more water to maintain their crops. To make matters worse, the seeds are more expensive and have a built in suicide gene, meaning they can't be harvested to plant next year's crop. If crops fail in the meantime, the farmer is out of luck. No crops, no seed, no money and ultimately no land.
In the not so distant past, our farmers had generations of seeds developed and saved by their grandfathers, and their grandfather's grandfather. It is our agricultural history, it is our American legacy, and it is our right. Clean food and water should be a right, not a privilege. The move toward industrialized genetically engineered nutrition is not sound science, but merely tomfoolery. It will not feed the world and it is not common sense.
There are many ways that you, as a consumer, can make the difference. You can start by purchasing food from local growers and producers, buy organic when you can, call or write your favorite products and your political servants. Tell them to stop using genetically engineered ingredients. You are paying them, they need you. They are not leaders, they are followers and they will follow your money.
In 2002 she worked as a copywriter and online editor for KATU News (Portland). She is dedicated to sharing her knowledge and experience, and hopes that by educating people about the chemical content in our modern food supply, they will become smarter consumers.

Just want to point out that Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley are U.S. Senators, not state senators.
Editor: I have known both for several years and should have caught that.
Also, big grammar error that indicates a total lack of editorial supervision: "...because their always preaching to the choir...". Ouch, that hurts my brain, but I'll keep reading.
Editor: I appreciate constructive criticism, I manage the contributions almost 70 writers and endless news releases and the hours are long. Yes, big error on my part,

Environmental science is the field of science that studies the interactions of the physical, chemical, and biological components of the environment and also the relationships and effects of these components with the organisms in the environment. The field of environmental science can be divided into three main goals, which are to learn how the natural world works, to understand how we as humans interact with the environment, and also to determine how we affect the environment. The third goal of determining how humans affect the environment also includes finding ways to deal with these effects on the environment.

What are the Best Debt Consolidation Companies in San Isidro TX
Who has the best San Isidro debt consolidation services?
San Isidro consolidation services offer a way of taking multiple debts and taking them all and wrapping them together into one payment. So if you have 5 different San Isidro loans, each with a different interest rate and length, a San Isidro debt consolidation loan will pay these off and then you will be left with one San Isidro loan with a total on the loan of all the paid off loans. The best part is that these types of San Isidro consolidation loans typically have lower interest rates than the ones you are getting rid of.
What is the best place in Texas to find San Isidro credit consolidation lenders?
Search online for the best debt consolidation lenders in San Isidro TX. The reason the best place to find San Isidro debt consolidation lenders in Texas is because you will be able to find the right San Isidro lender for you. Your local San Isidro banks may not specialize in the right San Isidro consolidation loans for you or have Texas lending standards that are too stringent. By searching for the best Texas debt consolidation loans online, you can assure yourself of getting the right San Isidro loan.
More On Debt Consolidation Loans in San Isidro TX
As I said above, prior to the credit crunch we had basically "easy money" whereby the San Isidro banks were encouraged to lend to pretty much anyone in Texas with a pulse. As the economy tanked and their San Isidro debts mounted, a large portion of these people who got easy credit are now looking for San Isidro credit counseling programs. These San Isidro loans can be obtained but they are just like any other San Isidro loan. Your Texas credit rating, your ability to repay the San Isidro loan, an availability of collateral to secure the loan and the current San Isidro bank policies on Texas lending will determine if you get a San Isidro consolidation loan or not.
Where Is The Best San Isidro Loan Consolidation Service?
As I discussed above, the typical San Isidro loan consolidation service usually has a lower interest rate than the standard Texas loan that is putting you in the poor house. Be aware that just because you are in trouble with your San Isidro monthly payments, does not mean that you will automatically get San Isidro loan consolidation.
Where Can I find The Best San Isidro Debt Consolidation Help?
I spoke of collateral before and this is a big aspect of why San Isidro debt consolidation lenders may give you San Isidro loan consolidation. Unsecured San Isidro loans are the riskiest loans to give by a Texas lender. This is because if the San Isidro loan is defaulted on, the bank cannot get the money back. By requiring collateral to provide security on a loan (as some San Isidro banks do for San Isidro debt consolidation loans) the bank reduces their risk for the loan. A secured San Isidro loan allows the lender to offer the loan to you and then to offer the San Isidro loan at a reduced interest rate. Be careful to make sure you pay off the San Isidro credit card consolidation loan on time. If you were required to put up collateral and you default, the San Isidro bank will take that collateral as a way to recoup their loss.

She handed me a little Californian flag, with the words "TRUMP IS UNBEARABLE" handwritten above the grizzly. The older woman had about a dozen made, and she gave them to anyone on the metro who hadn't brought their own sign.
The Women's March embraced such kindnesses. People handed out water for free, danced together in the streets, and, in Los Angeles, we reunited a parent and child.
We had just turned onto South Spring Street, with vibrating chants...
It was there a woman came up to me, her eyes frantic.
We had just turned onto South Spring Street, with vibrating chants that echoed easily through the full roads and bounced back to meet us. It was there a woman came up to me, her eyes frantic.
"We're looking for a little girl. This tall, brown hair, her name's Georgia." She moved to someone else a few feet away from my friends and I and continued to spread the word. I saw a man, Georgia's father, as I would soon learn, standing on a fire hydrant. He screamed her name, repeatedly. I've never seen a father look so small.
The energy shifted. The air was stuck somewhere between the people who didn't realize anything abnormal was occurring and continued to protest, and those of us who yelled for Georgia. No one stopped walking. The march was a current, a riptide, pulsating, and we needed to gain control of it. Stopping in our tracks, we screamed long enough for clarity to settle over us. Georgia. George-uh. GEORGE-UH. Her name became a chant of its own, perhaps the most pressing one we'd said all day. I was overcome with emotion; could an event spurred on by spreading love end in catastrophe? When suddenly, a man a few yards away ran through us with a "She's over here! She's here!" I turned to see the dad's face, but all I could make out was the blur of his hair as he ran to her.
Hours later, as I headed back to the metro (by now it felt like that stranger had handed me a flag of solidarity), I actually saw the girl. She was hugging her brother, smiling. I wanted her to know how loved she was, how she was a microcosm of the humanity we're constantly trying to resuscitate in our country nowadays. I wanted her to know that the Women's March should be remembered in her mind, not as the time she got lost, but as the time she was found. I hope she knows the world will not be as kind as the feminists she met that day, and that it will soon be her job to help find the little girls lost in the crowd. Please, come say hi when you do, Georgia.
This post is part of a series: Teen Eye Take To The Streets. Read about Em almost skipping the Women's March altogether, Lauren experiencing her first ever protest, and Furqan taking the international approach.

Don't say nothing
What happened in Orlando is horrific. A gay club is a place where so many, who feel so left out, can come together and be themselves and dance. The kindness and love I have felt dancing at gay clubs made me want to keep going back. I was always accepted. I take acceptance for granted. Do you take it for granted too? I want nothing but joy and love for everyone. We don't have to agree about anything to be kind to one another.
I love what Jen Hatmaker wrote. "This was unspeakable. This was horrible. This was unconscionable. I see this evil and I condemn it fully. I will sit right here and grieve with you. We will not gloss this over or forget. You might feel unsafe or insecure or scared today, and I want you to know you are not alone. I love you and I stand by you."
I remember my Mom telling me about how she had to duck and cover for "air raid drills" when she was in school. When I went to school I was mostly afraid of kidnapping. There was a little girl in my neighborhood who escaped a guy in a white van who tried to pull her in on her walk home. My children have already experienced several lock-downs at their school. Every teacher has a 5-gallon bucket to use as a potty in their classroom, in case they are locked inside for awhile. They practice being quiet, drawing the blinds and locking the doors.
For Casey's birthday this past year, we took him to see Star Wars. The theater was packed. I could not relax the entire time. I mentally knew where the exit doors were and I started making a plan of what I would do if someone stared open firing. These are my thoughts now when I go into a packed theater or anywhere crowded. How will I save my children and get out?
Helping children cope: Tips for talking about tragedy
After a tragedy, you might feel helpless — but your child needs your support. Here's help knowing what to say.
When a tragedy — such as a natural disaster, mass shooting or terrorist attack — occurs, it can be hard to talk to your child about what happened. How do you explain it? How much will he or she understand? Find out how to start the conversation and what you can do to help your child cope.
Do I need to talk to my child about a tragedy?
Talking to your child about a tragedy can help him or her understand what's happened, feel safe and begin to cope. If you don't speak to your child about a tragedy, there's a chance that he or she might hear about it elsewhere.
How do I start a conversation with my child about a tragedy?
Take time to think about what you want to say. If possible, choose a time when your child is most likely to want to talk, such as before dinner. Ask your child what he or she already knows about the tragedy — and what questions or concerns he or she might have. Let your child's answers guide your discussion.
How do I explain the tragedy to my child?
Tell the truth. Focus on the basics, and avoid sharing unnecessary details. Don't exaggerate or speculate about what might happen. Avoid dwelling on the scale or scope of the tragedy.
Listen closely to your child for misinformation, misconceptions and underlying fears. Provide accurate information. Share your own thoughts and remind your child that you're there for him or her. Reassure your child that what happened isn't his or her fault.
Your child's age will affect how he or she processes information about a tragedy. Consider these tips:
- Preschool children. Get down to your child's eye level. Speak in a calm and gentle voice using words your child understands. Explain what happened and how it might affect your child. For example, after a severe storm you might say that a tree fell on electrical wires and now the lights don't work. Share steps that are being taken to keep your child safe and give hugs.
- Elementary and early middle school children. Children in this age range might have more questions about whether they're truly safe. They might need help separating fantasy from reality.
- Upper middle school and high school children. Older children will want more information about the tragedy and recovery efforts. They're more likely to have strong opinions about the causes, as well as suggestions about how to prevent future tragedies and a desire to help those affected.
How might my child react?
After a tragic event, your child might experience a range of emotions, including fear, shock, anger, anxiety and grief. Your child's age will affect how he or she handles the stress of a tragedy. For example:
- Preschool children. Children in this age range might have trouble adjusting to change or loss. They might become clingy or mimic your emotions. Some children might also revert to wetting the bed or sucking their thumbs. Avoid criticizing your child for this behavior.
- Elementary and early middle school children. Children in elementary and early middle school might have nightmares or other sleep problems. They might fear going to school, have trouble paying attention in school or become aggressive for no clear reason.
- Upper middle school and high school children. Older children might deny that they're upset. Some children might complain of physical aches and pains because they're unable to identify what's really bothering them. Others might start arguments or resist authority.
These reactions are normal. However, if your child continues to display these behaviors for more than two to four weeks, he or she might need more help coping. If your child has experienced previous trauma, remember that he or she might be at greater risk of a severe reaction. If you're concerned about your child's reaction, talk to a mental health provider.
What can I do to help my child cope?
You can take steps to help your child process what happened. For example:
- Remain calm. Your child will look to you for cues about how to react. It's OK for children to see adults sad or crying, but consider excusing yourself if you're experiencing intense emotions.
- Reassure your child of his or her safety. Point out factors that ensure your child's immediate safety and the safety of the community. Consider reviewing your family's plans for responding to a crisis.
- Limit media exposure. Don't allow young children to repeatedly see or hear coverage of a tragedy. Even if your young child is engrossed in play, he or she is likely aware of what you're watching — and might become confused or upset. Older children might want to learn more about a tragedy by reading or watching TV. However, avoid repetitive loops of news information once you have the facts. Constant exposure to coverage of a tragedy can heighten anxiety.
- Avoid placing blame. If the tragedy was caused by human violence or error, be careful not to blame a cultural, racial or ethnic group, or people who have mental illnesses.
- Maintain the routine. To give your child a sense of normalcy, keep up your family's usual dinner, homework and bedtime routine.
- Spend extra time together. Special attention can foster your child's sense of security. Spend a little more time reading to your child or tucking him or her in at night. If your child is having trouble sleeping, allow him or her to sleep with a light on or to sleep in your room for a short time. Extra cuddles might help, too.
- Encourage the expression of feelings. Explain that it's OK to be upset or cry. Let your child write about or draw what he or she is feeling. Physical activity might serve as an outlet for feelings or frustration. If your child is acting out, explain that there are other ways of coping.
- Seek out school resources. If your child's school offers counseling after a tragedy, take advantage of the opportunity to meet with a counselor.
- Do something for those affected by the tragedy. Consider ways that you and your child can help victims and their families. You might take your child to your place of worship or write thank-you notes to first responders.

Pardon our dust
Exciting things are happening at the Center for Vision & Learning! Today we began a remodeling and expansion of our office!
We are adding another 20% of space so that we can provide a larger vision therapy room to better serve our patients. This will allow us to see more patients during the high-demand, after school hours and Saturdays. We will also have a nice, long area that is just perfect for sports vision training!
We will be rearranging the current area so that we can add a pre-testing area, dedicated contact lens area and second exam room for better efficiency during the examination process. And, the waiting room is also being enlarged so that hopefully we will no longer have patients sitting in the hallway during those peak times!
The staff is most excited about having a real break room where they can sit at an actual table to eat lunch, instead of sitting at their desk. We are all saddened that we'll be losing our in-office restroom, but with the hall restrooms right outside our office, we think it will be worth it to have larger patient care areas.
Here's a sneak peak pic of the demolition that began on the new space today. I'm planning to update this blog regularly with pictures showing the progress of the remodel. Please bear with us during this process, as we are basically gutting the entire office to make this happen.
Here are a few "Before" pics of the space that will soon become the new vision therapy space (and yes, we are definitely getting new carpet and wall coverings!!):

"I never come to the park thinking about coming in second."
-Dave Brundage, IronPigs Manager
The IronPigs lost 5-4 last night in a game that certainly was winnable. A lot of guys looked to be taking big hacks at the ball early in counts–maybe looking to pad the season stats a bit. No matter in a game that doesn't really count. But still, they didn't give up in any way–almost came back to win it.
Cam Perkins wasn't hacking; he was content to line singles to the outfield and steal bases and play good baseball. If you squint your eyes a bit, he had the look of a right-handed Rich Thompson. He's not Rich in center field, yet–or on the base paths, but you get my point. I don't think he'll get the call, even though he deserves it. There's just gonna be no room on the 40-man with all the Rule 5 protections that need to come down. A temporary move and then waive him? The Phillies don't usually operate that way. We'll see, though, I'd certainly love to have him around here for a while longer–although I guess that's not really the point.
Asche looked good; he's settling into the cleanup spot vacated by Ruf. Knapp missed his second straight game, but I'm told he's OK. We got our first look at Jimmy Cordero in AAA–and it wasn't exactly pretty. He navigated his way through the first inning with his slider at 88-91 and his heater at 93-96. He hit at least 97 in the second inning, but I didn't see any triple digits yet. I'm not sure he's ever really going to be a multi-inning guy. And the AAA hitters seemed to see his fastball really well. Keeping the heater in the upper 90's and command and control on the slider will be the keys for him. It's basically the Ken Giles plan. However, I'd keep him out of leverage situations in the playoffs if we can help it. Garcia and Araujo deserve those. Let Jimmy set some stuff up in more of a one-inning Colt Murray role.
Roster News
No movement lately as we still stand at 23, two short of the IL maximum. I'm still thinking we'll see a couple small moves prior to Wednesday–but nothing major. I'm thinking guys like Infante and Aguila coming from Reading to fill out our bench.
1:35PM First Pitch; 12:15PM Gates; 12:00PM Club
Seats still remain for this game, but many of the good ones are already gone.
The Red Wings will send the lefty Hurlbut (0-1, 2.45) today, after shuffling their rotation to call up top-prospect Berrios to start for the Twins today. RHP David Buchanan (9-9, 4.15) will go for the IronPigs, looking to get himself right for the playoffs and a possible spot in the Phillies September rotation, as they begin to shut down some of the young pitchers. It's not a meaningless game for Buck today.
- Phanatic appearance
- Fan Appreciation Day: $1 hot dogs, $2 popcorn, $2 sodas all game long. Other concessions may go on "sale" after the 7th inning.
Might be partly-cloudy and breezy, but looks like a nice one.
Kram's Korner
Questions to be answered during today's game:
- Will the bar run out of Bloody Mary mix? It's happened before, and they've been running out of a lot of things, lately.
- Will the Phanatic get involved in the pork race?
- Speaking of the Pork Race, here's how I would finish out the season shenanigans: While the race is getting started, the grounds crew re-attaches the hose to the nozzle behind the pitchers mound. As the pork racers come down, the phanatic comes out and grabs the hose and soaks the entire dugout and everyone in it.
- How will Buchanan do? A really good start here will go a long way towards confidence in the playoffs and a couple MLB starts later this month. Go get 'em Buck!
- Will Knapp be back? Again, I'm told he's fine, but we do need his bat (working) in the playoffs. Not that I don't like LoMo for his defense, though.
- Will they re-stock the playoff T-Shirts? They were pretty picked over last night, but I didn't get down there until late.
- Will they do anything else to "appreciate" the fans today? It seems like all the teams have these "days," and nothing really special happens. I'd like to see one team–Phantoms, IronPigs, SteelHawks, SteelFC–just go "all out" on a day like today. What would that entail? Reading did a pretty good job with it the other night. Let me think about it more–stay tuned.
See you at the park–look for the flag pre- and post-game and come say 'hello' in Joe's Corner,

Brides and Babies - It's Not All Rainbows and Butterflies!
How To Create A Wedding Guest List
By Jeffrey House Photography
How to create a wedding guest list and should it include or exclude babies?
I recently read an interesting article by the Washington Post titled "Adults Cry At Weddings, Why Can't Babies?" As a wedding photographer, it doesn't matter to me whether a couples allows babies or not, but I certainly understand why many couples have a "no baby" or a "no children" policy. However, I am perplexed that someone would actually compare the crying behaviors of adults to babies. I can only hope it was a rhetorical question.
a friendship being tested
The Washington Post article featured a question presented by a woman who is on the verge of ending a 20 year friendship because the bride had a "no baby" policy. Here's the backstory.
The woman in the article was pregnant when her friend asked her to be a bridesmaid in her wedding. She accepted. Several months later the woman learned that babies would not be allowed at the wedding. Since the woman was going to be having her baby shortly before the wedding, she became concerned. She advised the Washington Post, in her question, that she would need the baby to be around the entire day so she could breast feed and attend to the baby as needed. The woman in the article also has a toddler and understood why the toddler couldn't be there, but couldn't understand the "no baby" policy given her situation. She felt her friend was choosing their 20 year friendship over her wedding.
The writer with the Washington Post presented an interesting response. She essentially told the woman in the article that maybe your friend feels like you're choosing your situation over the 20 year friendship. She further suggested to the woman that she could find a babysitter to watch the baby on-site, but keep the baby away from the wedding. She could excuse herself to breast feed the baby. She also suggested to the woman that she pump her breast milk and let the babysitter feed the baby from a bottle for that one day.
it's a serious commitment
Having a baby is a serious commitment; however, so is agreeing to being a bridesmaid or groomsman in a wedding. When you agree to be part of a wedding party, you're making a serious time and financial commitment. On average, bridesmaids/groomsman spend $800 - $1,200 to be part of the wedding. If you don't have a lot of extra time or finances are tight, it's probably best for everyone if you decline the invitation.
Be honest with the bride or groom. Let her/him know how much you appreciate being considered for the wedding party, but your time or financial restraints won't allow for it or you just don't want to take on the responsibility. They might be disappointed , but it's going to be a lot better that the potential and more serious issues that can arise later on.
For the woman that wrote this letter, she expected to have her baby at the wedding all day long so she could feed and attend to her child. It's easy to understand why and how she feels this way. However, knowing the baby would be born before the wedding and she would feel this way, she should have declined the offer to be a bridesmaid. As a bridesmaid, it's your job to be part of the wedding and assist the bride to ensure a magical day.
weddings are expensive adult events
The average wedding will cost between $25,000 - $30,000, and depending on where you live this number can go much higher! Consider a wedding in Manhatten, NY for example - the average wedding is $70,000 - $75,000. Couples are paying a lot of money for their wedding celebration and if they don't want babies or children present, then their wishes should be respected. I understand, for many parents, it's hard to imagine why your little angles aren't being welcomed with open arms, but weddings are adult events.
I've attended and photographed weddings where babies were crying during the ceremony. It's extremely distracting and depending on where you're sitting, you can't even hear the ceremony. I've also experienced misbehaved children at weddings too. It's a long day and by the time the wedding reception rolls around they are exhausted. They make scene fighting with their parents because they don't want to eat their dinner or they want flop around on the floor. Couples that choose to have a "no children" policy is not a personal attack on parents - they simply don't want their day ruined with crying or misbehaved children.
no wedding party - a new trend
Wedding stress often comes from wedding party drama. For one reason or another, there's conflict and confrontations. It can be a nightmare for many brides and grooms looking to have the wedding of their dreams.
Many couples getting married today are now electing to skip having a wedding party. It saves money on their overall wedding costs and it eliminates a lot of drama - it makes for a better overall wedding experience. This isn't to say you can't have a friend or two around to help and share in the excitement, but generally speaking, it's a much more relaxed environment.
What do you think? will you allow babies/children at your wedding? share your thoughts, I'd love to hear what you have to say!

Jenn and I were meeting for a brainstorming session over "report cards" for home learning. We both highly value the importance of process a long with the outcome or the product. We decided to start discussing a tool to help parents (including ourselves) document the process of learning in their children, with a focus on learning that's done at home. We don't cover the nitty gritty of what we come up with — we'll save that for later — but we discuss the value of process, other ways people/disciplines document learning, how to reward process,
Reflective Questions
How do you feel about process? Do you value it?
What measures are there to evaluate process?
Have you ever left "breadcrumbs" to show where you've been?
What's the balance between a plan and changing as you go?
How can you both plan for an end point and also be flexible for change along the way.
What language do you use to reward process, with kids or students or employees?
What do you track? What do you capture in your reflections?
What are your patterns?
What are your themes?
Prompted or impromptu!?

This dish is quintessential Italian (or at least, Northern Italian!). I grew up with this and sometimes this is all it takes to make a simple, yet very satisfying dish (especially now while asparagus is nice and fresh!).
1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed
1 egg
Parmesan cheese, grated
Place the asparagus in a pot of boiling salted water. Cook until tender.
In the meantime, melt some butter in a frying pan. Add an egg and cook it until the whites are done but the yolk is still runny.
Plate the asparagus and place the egg on top of them. Drizzle the butter from the pan over it all.
Sprinkle with parmesan cheese!

Habit Changes for Picky-Eater Athletes/
We are inherently influenced by what something looks like that we are about to eat. It's in our DNA, as a visual cue was what protected us from eating something poisonous while we were hunters and gatherers. Second cue? Taste and texture. I know this well as I was an extremely picky eater as a child, and my fight or flight radars went off often with new foods. Texture was big for me and I was extremely resistant to trying anything new. I was encouraged to not give up and am proud to say that today, I will try anything once (well almost anything). Your body needs fuel to go, and recognizing that your choices make a difference can help you make changes for the better as an athlete, and for the rest of your life as a healthy human!
1. Lay off the sugar, salt, and processed foods
As you get older and are not told what to eat by your parents, your own choices can become a detriment to your own health. Sugary, salty snack foods are easy to access and cheap to buy, and they become an easy substitute for hunger pangs. It can be convenient to think that something that fills you up now, will be most effective for your team practice later in the day. Remember that being full does not mean being fueled!
The more you can reach for whole foods, the more you will realize that they are more effective in keeping you full. The fullness you receive from a bag of chips can never replace the fullness that you receive from brown rice, sweet potatoes, or whole wheat breads. Your body processes whole foods more efficiently, making the energy you spend working out more efficient. Recognize where you become tempted to buy the snacks, and make sure to prepare for that moment. Pack a higher protein whole food snack like peanut butter, or slow digesting carb like whole wheat bread (or both!) as they will fuel you and keep you full throughout your workout.
2. Limit Sauces and Ketchup
Most of the picky eaters I know like to mask the tastes of foods through sauces and especially ketchup. These are adding extra sugar to your nutrition and are not going to help you develop the necessary habits which help you try new foods. Instead, use seasonings and herbs to flavor your food. You will never salt your broccoli to the same level as process foods contain salt for preservation, so flavor away!
3. Don't skip breakfast
Your body functions best when it knows there is fuel coming. By skipping on breakfast, you are telling your body to go into starvation mode and hold on to or store whatever is the next meal you eat. Picky eaters will often skip on breakfast because they don't like many breakfast options or it seems too hard to prepare something healthy. Work on adding 1 new breakfast option to your routine a month. I suggest plain quick oatmeal that you add your own fruit, honey, or peanut butter to. Stick to it and record your progress. Look up recipes that vary your options and don't give up, consistency is key! Try overnight oats, or cold oats in the fridge that soften with yogurt.
4. Three bites
Always try 3 bites of something new. It's been researched that it can take 6-10 tries of something new to even get the ball rolling! If you are adding a new fruit or vegetable to your menu, try incorporating it in a few different ways over a week or more. It could very well be the way it's prepared that changes how much you like something. Steaming, pan searing, or roasting vegetables have very different outcomes in taste and texture. Just because you don't like one form, it doesn't mean you wont like another! If you keep an open and adventurous mind while you explore something new, you will take a lot of the pressure off forcing yourself to like something!
5. Not drinking the right fluids
In order to drink the right fluids we must first assume that you are consuming enough fluids. You are, right? Drink a glass of water as soon as wake up each morning and keep a water bottle with you through out the day to monitor how much you take in. Dehydration is very common among adolescents and among athletes. The strategy becomes to try and catch up on what was missed while by drinking a ton at practice. By that point, it is already too late and your workout only continues to dehydrate your body.
Stick to water as often as possible. I can't tell you how many picky eaters have told me they don't like water! Time move past this mentality! If you are really struggling drinking the amount of fluids that help keep your pee out of the bright yellow zone (brown = totally dehydrated, clear = hydrated!), choose sports drinks without high fructose corn syrup. It's often the easier route to choose only what comes out of the closest vending machine, usually Gatorade or Powerade. Consuming rehydration drinks daily means you need to make smart choices about what you put in your body. Ingredients matter! I recommend Nuun Hydration tablets because they are convenient and are made of the good stuff!
