Consume Healthier Foods By Checking Out These Terrific Tips
Proper nutrition is one of the most important parts of taking care of yourself. Be sure to do some research about good nutrition. While there are similarities, every person absorbs or retains nutrients differently. You need to understand what works with your body. These tips can help you to narrow down the vitamins that you require. Enjoy reading them!
When considering nutrition for a child, be sure that you stick to a standard schedule https://supplementvalleysite.wordpress.com/2017/08/25/zarrah-collagen-serum/ so that they eat when they are supposed to eat. If a child snacks throughout the day, it is very possible that they will not be hungry enough to eat a full meal and may miss out on nutrients that were not available in their snack food.
If you like to drink soda pop, then this one is for you. You can make your own simple fruit juice sodas by mixing 1 part of your favorite juice with 2 parts carbonated water (soda water or seltzer is fine). If it's not sweet enough, just add a bit more juice. This tastes really good with grape, cranberry, apple, or peach juices. Lemon or lime works too, so long as you combine it with a sweet juice such as apple. By drinking this instead, you reduce the number of the calories per drink, and it has the added benefit of giving you the extra vitamins and minerals that are naturally in the fruit juice.
You can improve the nutritional profile of even packaged cake and cookie mixes. In addition to the regular instructions, many brands also list a "lower fat" version in which applesauce is used instead of oil. In a pinch you can also leave out the eggs. The point is that even when indulging in something like a cake, you can take steps to improve its nutritive profile.
Maintaining a regular and properly functioning digestive tract can help boost weight loss and lower body weight overall. You should drink enough water, eat enough fiber every day, and get a couple servings of probiotics, such as in yogurt.
When considering your nutrition intake at a fast food restaurant, what may seem like the lesser of two evils may not always be the healthiest. Chicken often times ends up having more sodium and calories than a burger due to toppings such as ranch and additions such as bacon. If you feel as though you must satisfy a fast food craving, be sure to check the nutrition chart first.
When you are trying to stay healthy, you should look at the possibility of taking vitamin B12. This vitamin can help your nerve cells, as well as, blood cells. Vitamin B12 is primarily found in meat and fish or you can go to your local pharmacy and pick up the vitamin in pill form.
Make sure most of your meals or snacks includes some protein, and try to get an adequate amount of healthy fat each day. Both fat and protein will make you feel more satified than if you got the same number of calories from a sugary snack. Additionally, protein is necessary if you're exercising as well as dieting, to ensure that you don't lose too much muscle along with fat.
Do not deprive yourself of having desserts because it will only make you crave them even more. You can have a dessert after dinner each night if you choose a low-fat sugar free option. Buying sugar free Jell-O is great because it is inexpensive and is not high in fat.
A great nutrition tip is to bring your own healthy snacks with you to the movies. Movie theaters are notorious for the unhealthy food they sell such as popcorn and candy. The butter they use on their popcorn is extremely unhealthy. It's much healthier to bring your own snack.
It is not really necessary to "eat for two" during pregnancy, but it is necessary to make every bite of what you eat full of nutrition. Eating a variety of different foods every day is one easy step you can take that will make sure your growing baby develops normally and has the very best start that you can give.
A commonly overconsumed mineral in the modern American diet is sodium. While a certain amount of sodium in the diet is http://collagencomplete.com/best-collagen-supplement/ vital to continued nervous system function, it is important to not eat too much, as it can lead to high blood pressure. The easiest place to cut it out is with eliminating fast food.
Legumes and beans are also excellent sources of protein. They lack the high fat content of red meat and provide many of the essential amino acids that meat does. However, beans alone will not provide the same amino acids that meat provides, so it's necessary for a vegetarian's diet to be composed of many other sources of proteins as well. Beans are also cheap and easy to prepare.
Keeping track of your personal health will help you know if you are following a healthy diet and getting the nutrients that you need. Going to the doctor for an annual check-up is the best way to know that you have been doing what is required to stay very healthy.
Switch to natural, unrefined sea salt. Most table salt has been heat processed to remove beneficial trace minerals and bleached to produce a bright white color. Not only that, but it often contains anti-caking agents and sugar as well. Natural, unrefined sea salt, on the other hand, is taken directly from the earth and is sold with the beneficial trace minerals intact. Unlike bleached, processed table salt which has been shown to raise blood pressure, unrefined sea salt has actually been shown to lower blood pressure by providing your body with the trace minerals that it needs. Not only that, but it tastes great too.
Try to change your entire household at the same time. If mom and daughter are eating healthy but dad and son are not, it will be difficult to stay motivated. Talk to your family about how this is important to you and they should be willing to at least try to help you within the house.
Take the time to learn about sugars in your foods. It is important to know the differences in the various sugars you eat consistently. Sugars in fruits are better for you than sugars in sweets, yet can still be detrimental if you eat too much. Learn what is in your food so you can make the right decisions about the levels you take in.
Plan menus a week in advance. This gives you the chance to make sure you have well-balanced meals. If you lack something one day you can purposefully add extra into the following day. Having a plan also cuts down on quick, and usually bad decisions such as fast food and take-out meals.
Nutrition can be easy. The strategies in this article were designed to offer simple advice that will help you maintain good health by eating the right foods. Eating right is the best way to protect your body from sickness. Your body will thank you for following these tips that will help you to keep looking and feeling healthy.

Are you aware that lasers have been around in dentistry since the early 1990s and continue to be used in a wide assortment of dental procedures today? Lasers provide a level of precision that is not easily achieved with the human touch, allowing services to be given that are extremely safe and effective. Here are a few tips about laser dentistry:
– Lasers are powerful enough to redesign gums and gum tissue around teeth to remove bacteria or prepare teeth for a variety of treatments and procedures, including root canals.
– Lasers can be used to prepare cavities for treatment by blasting away the decay and preparing a tooth for a dental filling to be inserted.
– Lasers can enhance the quality of your gum tissue by removing various abnormalities like sores and lesions.
– Lasers can be used to initiate teeth whitening gels for patients looking to whiten their teeth.
– Lasers can take off tiny amounts of tissue for cancer biopsies.

Non-Stop waves during April at Kingfisher Mentawai Resort
The waves were pumping is a common statement you hear when you out in the Mentawais, but April treated us exceptionally well at Kingfisher Mentawai Resort.
The month kicked off on the 12th of April. The swell perfectly syncing with the arrival of our guests. For 10 days Lances Left fired on all cylinders. Perfect 4-6 ft waves, groomed by a light east wind and a mellow crowd.
However, the highlight for us came on the 24th of April. A new group from Worldsurfaris just arrived and the biggest swell of the month was predicted. All the boats made a bee-line down south, and we were greeted with 6-8 ft waves all to ourselves. We surfed Lances Left in the morning and then had an epic session at Lances Right (HTs) in the afternoon. It was as good as it gets for any surf trip. Perfect waves, no crowds and ending the days drinking Bintangs and reminiscing over the incredible sessions.

Papelbon Implodes in Shocking Phillies Loss
The day started out so well. It was sunny outside, people seemed happy…even Chase Utley was smiling on the field during warm-ups. Anyone who follows this team knows what a rare moment that is. It just seemed like a good day where a sweep of the Marlins was totally possible. Heck, there was even breakdancing during the game! It was all going well until the 9th inning…
Before that frightening 9th inning, starting pitcher, David Buchanan pitched very well, allowing only 1 run on a solo homer through 6 1/3 innings. Although, he did almost have his head taken off while attempting to bunt, which was a bit scary.
But baseball carried on and the Phillies racked up hits, stolen bases and Ryan Howard even showed patience at the plate, drawing a walk in the 4th inning.
I finally got to see Maikel Franco play in person. He had an interesting day that included a broken bat RBI single where he was thrown out trying to stretch it into a double. He also had this play at third where he bobbled the ball, recovered and still got the out:
By the 9th inning, the Phillies had a 4-1 lead. But then Jonathan Papelbon came into the game. Granted, he has been mostly good all season. And anyone can blow a save…it happens (unless it is 2008 and you are Brad Lidge). When one blows a save however, that person should expect to get boo'ed. In fact, that person should boo themselves for sucking on that occasion. Instead, Papelbon decided to look into the crowd as he walked to the dugout and grab his crotch demonstratively in reply to the boo's. After the game, he said he was "adjusting" himself. Really? And he could not wait 10 more steps to do so? I am not buying it.
His attitude just sucks. And his response was way out of line. After ejecting Papelbon for the gesture, umpire Joe West grabbed Papelbon by the shirt and shoved him. I cannot wait to see the blow back from that…stay tuned.
So the Phillies will ride this smelly, stinky 4-5 loss all the way across the country to San Diego where they start a 4 game series with the Padres tomorrow. For now, here is the Photo Album from today's game which includes the happier moments.

Competition: Major League Soccer – Portland Timbers vs LA Galaxy
Venue: Providence Park – Sunday, March 15 – 19:00 ET (23:00 GMT – Live on Sky Sports 1)
Match Odds: Portland Timbers 13/8 – Draw 12/5 – LA Galaxy 6/4
Match Preview
Portland Timbers host MLS Cup holders LA Galaxy at Providence Park this Sunday night in the final game of the second gameweek of the new season.
The Timbers began their MLS 2015 season with a 0-0 draw against Real Salt Lake last weekend, getting their first point on the board with their fourth straight MLS clean sheet a major plus for the team.
LA Galaxy picked up where they left off last campaign, winning 2-0 at home to Chicago Fire to open the 2015 season on Friday night and will be looking to make it two from two as they travel to Portland.Embed from Getty Images
The Timbers are unbeaten in their last five home games and will hope they can make home advantage count to avoid this run coming to an end against the reigning champions.
Galaxy haven't won on the road in their last six attempts and this is a trend Bruce Arena will hope they can halt this weekend, but they haven't beaten the Timbers away from home in their last three meetings, and face a real tough task against their Western Conference rivals.
Portland head coach Caleb Porter will be hoping his side can up their game and ensure nothing is made easy for the Galaxy this weekend as they will want to show that they're capable of upsetting any challengers who make the trip to Providence Park.Embed from Getty Images
The Western Conference already has four teams on three points and the Timbers cannot afford to fall behind the early pace-setters if they are to push for a playoff spot this season.
LA Galaxy will want to ensure they maintain their winning start and they will also want to win more away games this season to send out a message to those looking to challenge them for their MLS Cup title.
Team News
Portland Timbers have three major injury concerns out for a large proportion of the season as Will Johnson (broken leg), Diego Valeri and Ben Zemanski (both torn ACL) are all set to miss the opening months of the new season. They could also be without Diego Chara (bruised calf).Embed from Getty Images
LA Galaxy look set to be blessed with a fully fit squad and as we know squad depth is majorly important for success. Jose Villarreal, who opened Galaxy's account for 2015, will be under the spotlight after his impressive first performance of the season and will hope to retain his starting place on the left side of midfield. Jaime Penedo did not play in last week's opener but he could step back in between the sticks as Brian Rowe had a couple of shaky moments in that 2-0 win.
Key Points
Portland Timber's form: D
LA Galaxy's form: W
Key Stat: Goalfest – These two sides have scored ten between them in their last three meetings and we could be in for a treat if we are to see a similar game to previous ties.
Key Player: Gyasi Zardes – The pacy forward has added pressure to provide this season following the retirement of Landon Donovan and he will be looking to get off the mark on Sunday night.
Score Prediction
Portland Timbers 1-2 LA Galaxy – The Galaxy's squad depth and lack of injuries compared to their opponents will surely be a factor this weekend and their firepower up top should see them make it two wins from two.

Former off-spinner Graeme Swann believes that Indian squad can make a strong comeback in the Test series next month against England.
He also opines that Indians might receive assistance from the changing weather conditions of England if the ball fails to swing due to a warmer-than-usual English summer.
India won the T20I series by 2-1 but lost but failed to clinch the ODI series and lost by 1-2 against the hosts. Now the Indian Test squad is all set to clash with England for the five-match series slated to begin from August 1.
Swann is optimistic about India's chances of winning in the longest format of the game.
"If the ball doesn't swing, England will have to rely on reverse swing later on. Jimmy (James Anderson) is not the same bowler with the older ball because by the time it starts reverse swinging, Kohli will be 60-70 not out," Swann told PTI.
"England managed to do well last time because the new ball was swinging. Batsmen find it difficult to face the ball when it swings and Jimmy makes facing swing for batsmen difficult," he added.
"If it swings, England might win the Test series comfortably but if it doesn't, it will be a great series to watch. I don't think that the ball will swing much. England lack in the spin department so I believe India will have an advantage in that department," he said.
Swann prefers Kuldeep Yadav ahead of Ashwin and Jadeja
Swann also hailed the left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav and said that India should include him ahead of Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin in the first Test.
Yadav picked 14 wickets in the five ODIs against England.
"If I were to take a decision, I would have desperately wanted Kuldeep Yadav to play in the Tests because he provides kind of a mystery that English batsman finds it difficult to pick his googly," he added.

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. —-Hebrews 4:15
This past week, the world lost Steve Jobs. He was a great example of determination, persistence, and endurance. Steve was adopted as an infant, dropped out of college, and lived with Autism. He had every excuse to give up. Yet, he went on to be responsible for the iPhone and Pixar pictures. When he returned to the company after making his fortune, he only took an annual salary of $1. As we look around the world, we can find many great examples of inspiring people to look to as role models. People are spreading his legacy on Facebook, the news, and all over the internet. His story is inspiring.
But, our ultimate role model, the most high priest…….Jesus, sets the greatest and only perfect example in how we should live. He was tempted in every way we are tempted. Yet, he lived without giving in to sin. He was human and walked the earth with the same sinful nature we possess. Yet, he withstood temptation, lived a life loving others, healing others, and spreading God's word. Ultimately, he laid down His life, enduring a torturous death, knowing full well He was innocent. He paid for things He did not do, for people who hated Him, and did it all with love in His heart. He believed you and I were worth dying for. Even in His last breath, he asked God to 'forgive them'.
Most of us have been handed trials and circumstances in life that aren't fair. Life can be hard. It would be very easy to give up and stop trying. When things go wrong, they can easily cause us to get off track. It's easy to allow the wrong turns in our life to become excuses for not living a life fully devoted to Him. We will never live sinless lives. But we can look to Jesus as an example and strive to live as He lived….loving others even when they don't deserve it. Forgiving others who have destroyed us. Helping those in need…even those who are hard to help and hard to love. He understands just how hard it is to live up to His example. He understands our temptations, our struggles with others. He has been there. And He is there with you now. Call on Him to help you. You will find that through Him, you can do things you never thought possible. He is just waiting for you. What's stopping you?

I build several robot cars and now I want to equip them not only with a camera module but also with a distance sensor. For this the ideal sensor is an ultrasonic sensor because it is very cheap and easy to install. For my cardboard car project I have chosen the HC-SR04 sensor. The HC-SR04 sensor is small in its dimensions and is available for a few bucks in every robot online shop. With the sensor it is possible to measure distances between 2cm and 4m with a theoretical resolution of 3mm. Depending on the echo signal coming back from the object the resolution of the sensor may vary. Soft obstacles like a curtain are not easy to recognize because they do not really reflect the ultrasonic sound. If you drive in an angel in the direction of a wall the echo signal will be reflected away from the sensor and not back to the sensor for a correct measurement.
The sensor is easily connected to an Arduino. If you use a SBC like a Raspberry Pi for your robot car you may need a Level-Shifter depending on the voltage of your GPIO's and sensor. The ultrasonic sensor HC-SR04 needs a 5V power supply. The current which is used by the sensor is low as 2mA. This makes the sensor ideal for small robotic projects.
The picture below shows the HC-SR04 sensor.
The picture shows the HC-SR04 sensor and you can see the four pins of the sensor. The first pin is for the Vcc the 5V power supply of the module. The second pin with the label Trig is the trigger pin to activate the sensor. Over this pin you trigger the ultrasonic sensor to send the ultrasonic sound for a short time. The third pin with the label Echo send back a HIGH signal on the Echo pin when the echo of the ultrasonic sound was received by the sensor. The fourth pin with the label Gnd is the Ground pin.
Function of the HC-SR04 sensor
Adopt IO trigger through supplying at least 10us sequence of high level signal on the trigger pin. The module automatically send eight 40khz square wave and automatically detect whether receive
the returning pulse signal. If there is a signal returning the Echo pin is set to HIGH. The time between the trigger signal was send and the receiving of the sound, the Echo pin is set to High, is the basis for the calculation of the distance in my demo program.
((Start Time (s) – Recieving Time (s)) * 340 m/s)/2
It is possible to do 50 measurements per second with the HC-SR04 module. The inteval between each measurement is 20ms. This time inteval is enough for a small robot car to control the distance in front of the car to the next object.
Video of the HC-SR04 sensor in action
I programed a small program to control two DC motors independently with two ultrasonic sensors. The DC motors are spinning with a basic speed until an object is more than 50cm away. If you go for example with your hands in front of the sensor and you reduce the distance less than 50cm the DC motors will slow down until they stop.
HC-SR04 demo program
You can download the small program here. It consists out of the ultrasonic demo program and the motor driver basic module for controlling the motors. You do not need a motor driver and a motor for executing the program. The program will also display the distance without a motor in the terminal. At the beginning of the program it is possible to set the GPIO pins for the ultrasonic sensor and the motor driver.

The Unthinkable in Sweden
The Unthinkable will be published in Sweden by Forumin the spring of 2009.
One of the survivors profiled in the book is Kent Härstedt, a member of Sweden's parliament who survived the worst sea disaster in modern European history. The MV Estonia ferry sunk in the Baltic Sea on the night of September 28, 1994. Härstedt patiently shared with me the detailed story of his own unlikely survival. He also talked about what he saw other people do on the ship that night, from a man who smoked a cigarette on the deck as the ship slipped deeper into the sea to the groups of people who seemed frozen, unable to move and save themselves. The tragedy killed 852 people. The story of what happened on the ship in those terrible last moments offers a remarkable glimpse into how the brain processes extreme fear and uncertainty.

PM Tsipras: Greece Will Break Through the 30 Million Visitor Barrier
Last Update: 23:47
Greece will break through the 30 million visitor barrier this summer, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said in a meeting with the Greek Tourism Confederation (SETE) on Thursday.
On his part, SETE president Yiannis Retsos said that "the current good circumstances must constitute the basis for the development of tourism over the next years; our aim is that the current success is not just a firework, but it will constitute the basis for the support of the economy. And this is feasible."
Moreover, the prime minister posted on Twitter that tourism is well performing and it is likely to break the barrier of 30 million visitors. He added that that the aim is to extend the tourist season and increase tourism's added value.(Source: ANA-MPA)

March is a busy time for gardeners.
March is one of the busiest times for gardeners in Western Washington. Besides the leftover chores of pruning and winter cleanups now is the time to divide many perennials. Many perennials like to be divided on a regular basis such as most Irises, Asters, and Daylilies. Notice a decline in flowering and plant vigor and it is time. The rule of thumb is to divide summer and fall bloomers now and spring performers in the Fall. Phlox, Heleniums, Rudbeckias, Hostas and Campanulas can be rejuvenated now and propagated ; easy to do when the young shoots are visible. Early bloomers like Bleeding Hearts, Columbine, and Primroses should wait until Fall. Having said that most real gardeners are more independent and rely on past experience and intuition to guide their efforts.In any case the time you put into the garden now is well rewarded by the ease of gliding into spring and summer. Also this month is great time to fertilize the newly emerging plants; my favorite brand is Hendrikus Organics coming in several formulas and easy to apply. Do not forget to put out pet safe iron phosphate such as Sluggo around Hostas, Ligularias and most everything else. My best advice to all you itchy gardeners is to persevere and Spring will arrive shortly.

Yesterday was an absolutely glorious day – it felt like the start of summer! Clear blue skies and warm sunshine…exactly why I chose Sydney as a new home all those months ago. And my British-ness really comes out on days like this I'm afraid and I want to enjoy the sunshine as much as possible. We're very starved of it at home!
So our quest for an outdoor lunch venue, and also armed with our recently acquired Entertainment Book (I'm in love!), we found ourselves at the Pyrmont Point Hotel. I do like Pyrmont, there are interesting places here to find that are far less touristy and there less crowded than the Darling Harbour area and city centre.
This is the first time I've eaten at this place and I was very pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food that was served, and the reasonable price too – another benefit of going outside the tourist haunts! Mains ranged from $15-$35 and in my opinion, it was better than your average pub standard.
I went for the gluten free roasted Mediterranean vegetable salad with the optional chargrilled lamb backstrap. Any salad with roasted pumpkin and chickpeas gets my attention! The pepper taste of the rocket was perfectly complimented with tzaraki dressing. The lamb was medium rare, tender and flavoursome.
Dan chose 'The King', which was fresh egg linguine with king prawns, chilli, tomato and garlic in a white wine sauce. It disappeared quickly which is a good sign! Fresh pasta always makes the world of difference to a dish and I'm told that the chilli was just the right amount to heat up the prawn and tomato flavours. Dan is a big fan of anything with chilli!
The portion sizes were not too big, and felt just right once we'd finished.
I would definitely recommend the Pyrmont Point Hotel for a casual weekend lunch. There is a sunny courtyard (with shade for you Aussies!) and a cosy interior for the cooler days. The service was great and the food was delicious – we'll be back again soon!


text: As long as you pay for it, it is perfectly fine. That being said, you don't need to do anything for your out of town guests. It is a nice gesture, but not required. All of my FI's friends and family will be OOT guests. We're only having his one aunt and his immediate family at our rehearsal dinner.Abbyb987 said:My fiancé and I are getting married where we live (instead of where either of our families live) so about 80 of our 125 person guest list will be coming from out of town. We are paying for most of the wedding ourselves so we really can't afford to have a big welcome dinner for all the out of town guests. Would it be appropriate to invite our guests to join us at the hotel bar for a cocktail hour (on us) after the rehearsal dinner? I'm thinking having an informal invite on the wedding website for it, something like 'Join us for welcome cocktails at the hotel bar from 9-10PM on Friday evening.' I would love to be able to greet everyone and thank them for coming for the weekend; thoughts as to whether this would be ok? I would also love other suggestions, just keep in mind that we live in a small apartment not conveniently located to the hotel where we are getting married and it's also a pretty pricey area in general.

If someone suggested that you write a function which, given a person's name, tells you what gender they are, you might caution that this is a hard problem. You might suggest a solution like a Bayesian classifier, which could be trained, or you might say, "Maybe we should just let the users tell us."
There are a few things you almost certainly wouldn't suggest. You wouldn't suggest using ColdFusion , because CF is constructed out of sin and unicorn tears. And you certainly wouldn't suggest trying to use regexes to do this job.
That's because you aren't Brent's co-worker, who wrote this:
<cffunction name="Genderize" output="false" returnType="string">
<cfargument name="Name" type="string" required="true">
var regex = "";
regex = "(ua|pher|andy|elijah)$";
if (REFindNoCase(regex, Arguments.name)) {return "male";}
regex = "(a|i|y|ah|ee|et|ette|elle|fer|ine|lyn|ie|anne|een|en|er|yn|ynn|kim|rachel|lind|pam|sue)$";
if (REFindNoCase(regex, Arguments.name)) {return "female";}
return "male";

13 Ways of Looking At Guernica
Over the weekend I finished Gijs van Hensbergen's Guernica: The Biography of a Twentieth-Century Icon. Very interesting. PBS.org provides some background on what it calls "modern art's most powerful antiwar statement":
On April 27th, 1937, unprecedented atrocities are perpetrated on behalf of Franco against the civilian population of a little Basque village in northern Spain. Chosen for bombing practice by Hitler's burgeoning war machine, the hamlet is pounded with high-explosive and incendiary bombs for over three hours. Townspeople are cut down as they run from the crumbling buildings. Guernica burns for three days. Sixteen hundred civilians are killed or wounded.
Picasso's Guernica was a response to that bombing, and it was produced to serve as the centerpiece for the Spanish Pavilion of the 1937 World's Fair. From Hensbergen's book (whose endnotes often left me wanting), here are 13 responses to the painting itself:
1. Max Aub, speaking to the pavilion's construction workers gathered to celebrate their achievement: "It is possible that this art be accused of being too abstract or difficult for a pavilion like ours which seeks to be above all, and before everything else, popular manifestation. This is not the moment to justify ourselves, but I am certain that with a little good will, everybody will perceive the rage, the desperation, and the terrible protest that this canvas signifies … If the picture by Picasso has any defect it is that it is too real, too terribly true, atrociously true."
2. Critic Anthony Blunt, writing in the Spectator in August 1937: "The painting is disillusioning. Fundamentally it is the same as Picasso's bull-fight scenes. It is not an act of public mourning, but the expression of a private brain-storm which gives no evidence that Picasso has realised the political significance of Guernica."
3. Critic Myfanwy Evans, writing in the collection The Painter's Object in 1937: "It is a terrible picture of atrocities that would turn one's hair white if one met them in real life. It is not gently composed to soften the blow, either; not a Laocoon picture. Nor is it the wild testament of a man distracted by the thought of his tortured country, and least of all is it a 'Red Government' poster screaming horrors to a panic-stricken intelligentsia. It is a passionate recognition of the facts, so purged as to become almost detached statement, and ultimately so unrealistic as to be almost as abstract as his most abstract painting."
4. Virginia Whitehill, writing in Parnassus in 1939: "For the average gallery-goer Guernica must remain unpleasantly incomprehensible, and the purpose of the present editorial is merely to deplore the dishonesty of the American art public when confronted with work which it can neither understand nor appreciate but which it feels nevertheless obligated to accept."
5. Critic, painter and collector George L.K. Morris, writing in the Partisan Review soon after: "There are striking passages, and the emotion fits the form completely, but unity of spirit cannot conceal disunity of structure."
6. Someone writing in The Herald Express in 1939: "CUCKOO."
7. Someone writing in the Los Angeles Examiner in 1939: "…revolting…ugly…bunk…"
8. Curator Charles Lindstrom, in a statement to exhibition visitors in 1939: "This is the Last Judgment of our age, with a damnation of human manufacture, and nowhere the promise of paradise."
9. Artist William Baziotes, after seeing the painting around that time: "Picasso had uncovered a feverishness in himself and is painting it – a feverishness of death and beauty."
10. Willem de Kooning: "…staggering…"
11. Lee Krasner: "Picasso's Guernica floored me. When I saw it first at the Dudensing Gallery, I rushed out, walked about the block three times before coming back to look at it."
12. Clement Greenberg, writing in Picasso at Seventy-Five in 1957: "Guernica is the last major turning point in the evolution of Picasso's art. Bulging and buckling as it does, this huge painting reminds one of a battle scene from a pediment that has been flattened under a defective steam-roller."
13. Inigo Cavero, Spain's Minister of Culture, welcoming the painting to its new permanent home (from MOMA) in 1981: "Guernica is a scream against violence, against barbarism, against the horrors of war, against the denials of civil liberties that an armed insurrection implies."

An artisan chocolate maker is expanding his Easebourne business, by digging deeper into his garage.
Mike Noble set up Noble and Stace at his home in 2015 with his partner but after two years of growing support from customers and traders alike, he applied for permission to carve out more space to help production.
The company, which supplies 17 businesses, is set to expand with products such as gin, wine and coffee from other Sussex producers.
Mike said the work would be crucial for creating an approved food production environment and gave 'a massive thank you' to customers for their support so far.
He said: "It's really important because we're simply running out of space.
"Chocolate making is a lengthy process and it takes time for things like truffles to set before they can be dipped, decorated and packed, so you need quite a lot of space for things as they go through the various stages of the process.
"The new space will be used for just that, cooling chocolates, decorating, storage and packing."
Mike said he hoped the extra space would free up not just work areas but time to create new chocolatey ideas for customers to enjoy and go along to more tastings and events.
So far, the start-up has been highly commended in the Observer Business awards in the small business category and came runner up at the Sussex Food and Drink Awards.
Although a shop of his own may be a while, demand is going up and he gave 'a massive thank you' to customers for their support so far.
He said: "It's been a huge learning curve but a lot of fun at the same time.
"It's always really heartwarming when people give great feedback and when you think that you're making something that people really love, it's really inspiring."
It is hoped the space will be converted and ready for the build up to Christmas.

On June 25, 2015, the Mayor and Portland City Council unanimously approved the Portland Water Bureau's Washington Park Reservoir Improvements Project Type IV Land Use Review (LUR) application.
The approved Type IV LUR application proposed the removal of the Weir Building (screen house), portions of lower Reservoir 4's basin, and upper Reservoir 3's basin in Washington Park. The gatehouses, dams, and other historic features will be protected and restored.
Proposed Project
Reservoir 3 from the Grand Stairway: Existing (left)
Upper Reflecting Pool from the Grand Stairway: Proposed (right)
Reservoir 3 with Gate House 3: Existing (left)
Upper Reflecting Pool at Gate House 3: Proposed (right)
The Type IV LUR application is part of the Water Bureau's Washington Park Reservoir Improvements Project, proposing to build a new below-ground reservoir in the same general footprint as the existing upper Reservoir 3, with a reflecting pool on top.
Reservoir 4 View from Dam 3: Existing (left)
Lower Reflecting Pool View from Dam 3: Proposed (right)
Reservoir 4 View from Above at Sherwood Blvd: Existing (left)
Lower Reflecting Pool View from Sherwood Blvd: Proposed (right)
The lower Reservoir 4 will be disconnected from the public drinking water system and a lowland habitat area/bioswale and a reflecting pool will be constructed in the basin. Much of the Reservoir 4 basin and the slope to the west are needed to provide landslide abatement; the slope will be restored to its pre-reservoir condition.
The new below-ground reservoir in the place of Reservoir 3 will be constructed so that it is outside of the moving edge of the landslide, which will help protect it from damage.
The project addresses major reservoir issues, including recurrent landslide damage, compliance with federal law, seismic vulnerability, and deterioration of the 120-year-old structures.
Next Steps - Type III LUR Application Package
In spring 2015, the Water Bureau will submit a second LUR application package that includes two Type III applications:
The LUR package will propose the construction of a new covered reservoir, reflecting pools, lowland habitat area/bioswale, walkways, and historic preservation and rehabilitation actions. The second LUR application process will also include public comment periods and public hearings to ensure public notification and the opportunity to comment before a final land use decision is rendered.
Before work permits are issued or any construction begins, the Type III LUR application package must be approved.
The LUR applications are a result of a robust public involvement process that included multiple public open houses, nine Community Sounding Board meetings that guided design for the required visible features of a new reservoir in Washington Park, five public meetings before the Historic Landmarks Commission, and three City Council hearings.

Cookies, TV, biting my nails.
Those are the types of things I would sacrifice for Lent, 40 days of fasting before Easter, when I was younger.
Being Catholic has given me the space to be introspective and has granted me my foundation and faith for my spiritual practice. As I grow older, the more mature I become in my faith, and the more I can think about the bigger picture.
This year for Lent, I gave up judgement.
I know what you're thinking - that's 'impossible.' And most of the time, it is difficult. Our brains are hardwired to pass judgement on others, to perceive their experience as negative, to underestimate the grand love that they have inside of them. Whether you believe that is because of a primal instinct to view others a threat or whether you just can't relate to them, these thoughts happen to each of us.
These are thoughts I catch myself thinking daily. And recently, I had an instinct: if I ended my practice of separating myself from others, whether in a superior or inferior way, I could return back to love, and instead bring happiness to myself, and others, and bring us all closer.
1.) Witness your judgmental thoughts.
What are you thinking? Is this thought a sign pointing to something you dislike or want to change about yourself? Where is this thought coming from?
2.) Forgive yourself or ask for forgiveness.
I let myself off the hook for thinking these thoughts. They are normal, and I am growing into a better person for recognizing them.
3.) Shift your focus back to love.
FeMantra: We are being led toward love. We are love. We are one.

See Bo on Compass Election Coverage 2013 now
Go To Elections 2013 Coverage:
There is a country song "I was country when country wasn't cool" and it sort of describes me, because I was independent when independent wasn't cool.
Today we see some of the negative results of party politics, but I am encouraged by the fact that so many people have awakened to this reality and made a 180 degree turn to the independent position. Cayman will be the beneficiary.
I am a "bridge generation" Caymanian. I was born and raised in the old mosquito, no electricity Cayman. My father died when I was 12 and my mother worked as a hotel maid, thatch rope maker, store keeper, whatever she could find to provide for the family.
My brother went to sea at age 19 to help keep us alive. Upon finishing college I started my working career in the new Cayman (a few less mosquitoes and some electricity). I saw poverty as a disease and one I was determined to cure through study and hard work; I was among the first generation Caymanians to get out of poverty through education and not through a career at sea.
The transformation Cayman experienced from the late 1960s to 2000s is what I call the 40 year miracle and I have a real understanding and appreciation for this, as I was a part of it: financial services, hotel and tourism development, real estate development, retail, environmental protection etc.
Cayman was built on two pillars: its people and its environment, both which are under severe stress today. When we started our development the two were in harmony and our policies were designed with this in mind. We were isolated and mosquito infested and our leaders decided to invite the world to come invest and help us get out of poverty and develop our country.
The formula was simple: most investors were foreign, most Caymanians were workers; this worked pretty well for a time as we can all attest to. But something happened along the way: we confused construction with development; "speed and greed" replaced "people and planning" and we left a generation behind.
In our haste to acquire more and more we lost sight of what our real goals should have been: to develop Cayman at a pace compatible with the abilities and aspirations of the Caymanian people.
The challenge before us now is that this economic model has expired and our failure to recognise it has caused us to waste precious time, dollars and energy trying to revive it.
It is now time for a new model to be crafted and that model must include the objective of "Caymanian investors/owners". It is time for a paradigm shift in our thinking and our actions with regard to our economic policies, in order to transfer the Caymanian people from spectators to owners.
I am proposing the creation of the C.I.I.F. (Cayman Islands Infrastructure Fund) which will be a private/public entity with private sector leadership. All of Cayman's infrastructure investment needs going forward (cruise port, sewage collection/treatment, waste management, airport expansion) should be carried out in a way that all Caymanians are given an opportunity to have an equity position; either through cash or sweat equity.
There are few options left in this market for ownership by our people, the C.I.I.F. fills this need.
I propose the establishment of an Environmental Protection Agency to include all regulatory functions; land, sea and air. We cannot separate the pieces of the environment, yet our government has separated the management of each; e.g. Department of Environment, Department Environment Health, Water Authority.
The shifting of blame, and responsibilities, turf protection etc. has caused many of the failures we see today.
We must discard the idea that past routine, past ways of doing things are the best ways. On the contrary, we must assume that there is probably a better way to do almost everything. We must stop assuming that a thing never been done before probably cannot be done at all.
Cayman is not going back to the boom days that some keep promising; instead it is going to a new place and the bridge that will take us from here to that new place is called "strategic thinking"; not talk. To reward those who put us in this mess by reelecting them would be a mistake and our children will pay the price. I believe it is time for new leadership and I am offering myself to be a part of that based on: Leadership, Integrity, Vision and Experience.
I want us to LIVE in harmony with our people and environment and never lose sight of the goal: to leave opportunities and choices for the next generation. It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare; it is because we do not dare that they are difficult.
I ask for your vote and promise to do work smarter and harder for the benefit of all.

8 things to do with your tax refund./
Tax refunds are rolling in. With Americans getting on average more than $3,000 back this year. (Source.)
I personally am not a fan of big returns. I want to keep my money from my paycheck each month. Not give the government an interest-free loan. (Because they would charge YOU 4-7 % interest on a federal student loan!)
But if you are getting money back, why not be smart about where it goes.
1. Set up your starter emergency fund.
If you're just starting your debt free journey consider putting it to words baby step one.
If you have not started an emergency fund you can use your tax refund to either start your emergency find or beef up that emergency fund before you start paying off debt.
2. Put it toward your debt snowball.
If you're using the debt snowball method, put the entire thing towards your smallest debt. If it happens to pay off that debt great then roll into the next one.
3. Pad your 3-6 month emergency fund
If you have finished the debt snowball completely put it towards your 3 to 6-month emergency fund.
4. Put it toward a home improvement.
We're actually going to be hopefully putting in new windows soon and a large sum of money like a windfall would be perfect for putting towards a home improvement project or if you have a sinking fund set up for a home improvement project put it toward that.
5. Save it!
Put it in your general savings. I mean who can't lose more money in their savings account?
6. Beef up your retirement fund.
I personally am self-employed so any retirement I get comes from my own pocket and not an employer so extra money is always great to beef up that retirement fund so that I am not working for the rest of my natural life.
7. Finally, start your kid's college savings account or 529.
I am so glad that we started this when our older two were very young in fact we got our monthly statement from our children's college savings account and it currently is getting 14% interest.
8. Add a little to your mortgage
If you're getting $3000 putting that towards your mortgage would be really beneficial in paying off your home a little bit early.

24/05/18 - PCC Welcomes Home Secretary's Commitment to Frontline Policing
The West Mercia Police and Crime Commissioner has welcomed a message from the new Home Secretary Sajid Javid as he promised to stand with officers on the frontline, and give officers the tools, powers and back up they need to get the job done.
Speaking at the Police Federation conference today, the Home Secretary drew on personal experience, talking about the impact the job can have on family life and the times his brother was assaulted. He acknowledged that police work can take its toll on mental and physical health and said that officers
''deserve to be respected and valued''
He talked about his own experiences, in the West Mercia area, recognising the work of officers locally, and made a commitment to working with PCCs to ensure police are properly resourced.
Commissioner John Campion, who was at the Police Federation Conference said ''The Home Secretary's commitment to frontline policing, echoes my own commitment to communities locally.
Assaults on police officers aren't acceptable and I am pleased that Sajid Javid has highlighted this. In West Mercia alone, there are on average two assaults on officers and staff every day. I have been campaigning for people to see the person Behind the Badge, and it's important that the police are respected for their hard work, professionalism and all they do for communities.
I am pleased to hear West Mercia officers being recognised. I have seen first hand how our police do an extraordinary role, and I agree with the Home Secretary that we must protect and be proud of the police.
I look forward to working with the Home Secretary in the future, to deliver safer, more secure communities for the public and the police."

We Don't Buy Crime - Smartwater - Volunteering Opportunity
"We Don't Buy Crime" is a partnership between Warwickshire Police, West Mercia Police and Smartwater.
Smartwater, one of the country's leading crime deterrent companies, is helping people across the region protect their property and make life more difficult for burglars.
We aim to reduce the number of burglaries by improving detection, ending the market for stolen goods and encouraging people to take steps to protect their property.
Marking valuables with products such as Smartwater helps police to identify burglars and link them to crimes.
We are aware that acquisitive crime, including burglary, robbery and theft harms our communities. A person's home and possessions often carry an emotional attachment and when a criminal interferes with this, it can have a long lasting impact on victims. Warwickshire Police and West Mercia Police are committed to protecting people from these crimes.
"We Don't Buy Crime" demonstrates this commitment, by taking an innovative approach to reducing and disrupting the market for stolen goods and protecting your home and possessions by making them less attractive to the would be criminal.
West Mercia Police are currently looking for a number Volunteers to assist with the "We Don't Buy Crime" Project across Shropshire, Telford, South Worcester and Hereford. The volunteers will be attending community Events across the county alongside the Project Manager, to support this force Initiative. These Events ususally taking place on a Saturday.

22/05/18 - Commissioner Welcomes Pursuit Protection for Police
John Campion is welcoming changes that will offer greater protection to police pursuit drivers.
The Government has outlined new plans to change the current legal test for officers, to take account of their high levels of training. It comes following a trend for crimes committed on mopeds in some of the UK's big cities. This is exceptionally rare in West Mercia, but the reforms will still benefit both local officers and communities in other pursuit scenarios.
West Mercia Police and Crime Commissioner John Campion said: ''I believe strongly in giving our police the tools to do their jobs more effectively and this is an example of that. The Government has listened to our police and come up with a common sense solution that will benefit all parties.''
''Police pursuit drivers are highly trained and exceptionally skilled. I hope this change will give officers the confidence to do their jobs even more effectively. I also hope it shows how much we all value their work to keep us safe, which I have worked to highlight through my #BehindTheBadge campaign.''

21/05/18 - West Mercia Police bucks national trend as criminal charges increase
Victims of crime are getting an improved service from West Mercia Police, with a 12% increase in criminal charges brought over the last three years.
The West Mercia Police and Crime Commissioner, and Chief Officers have welcomed the home office figures which show West Mercia Police is bucking the national trend of an overall decrease of 11%.
Earlier this month it was revealed that although crime in West Mercia is increasing, this is at just a third of a rate of the national levels with notable successes around robbery, burglary and vehicle crime.
Commissioner John Campion said ''I made a commitment to always put victims first, ensuring they get the service they deserve. It is pleasing to see more offenders being brought to justice, and our communities should be reassured by the force's commitment and professionalism. Whilst there are always areas that we can improve on, I promise to ensure West Mercia Police have the resources to continue this good work.''
Deputy Chief Constable Amanda Blakeman said: ''This is positive news which we welcome. We work extremely hard to protect our communities from harm and deliver justice for victims of crime. The rise in people charged is testament to the dedication and professionalism of our officers and staff.
''It is also testament to the confidence our communities have in the service we provide; they play a key role in helping us to gather intelligence and providing information that leads us to arresting suspects and ultimately putting them before the courts.''

A shark bumped a snorkeler in Maui, Hawaii prompting officials to close several beaches.
The 40-year-old woman from Canada was approximately 10 yards off Kama'ole II and Kama'ole III around 12:30 p.m. when she was bumped.
She had minor abrasions to her left arm and thigh from the 8-foot grey shark's skin, but declined medical treatment.
After the incident, the Kama'ole beaches were closed and patrols were sent to warn beachgoers of the incident.
No sharks were spotted and the beaches were reopened a little over two hours later.
Mākena State Park was also closed due to a shark incident the previous day. Two spearfishermen had just speared a fish when an estimated 8-foot Galapagos shark snatched their catch and followed the two men back to shore.
The risk of a negative shark interaction increases in Hawaii during the month of October.
Data from the Department of Land and Natural Resources Division of Aquatic Resources (DAR) shows there were 122 unprovoked shark bites in Hawaiian waters from 1980 to 2015. Twenty-one percent (21%) of the bites occurred during October.
The October syndrome could be explained by the birthing habits of tiger sharks. A study by the University of Hawaii, funded in part by the DAR, found around 25 percent of the Northwestern Hawaiian Island female tiger sharks migrate to the main islands during the fall to give birth.
The large number of pregnant and birthing sharks near shore creates circumstances with potential negative human and shark interaction. The sharks are looking for sustenance and may confuse humans as prey.
While the odds of being bitten by a shark are extremely low, ocean-goers can help prevent an attack by staying in groups, using a beach with lifeguards and avoiding murky water, especially around river mouths.
There have been a total of 83* shark attack bites in 2017, 5 of which were fatal*; 41 were reported in the US, with 28 occurring in Florida** and one in Hawaii. Twelve have been reported in Australia, one of which was fatal. Five unconfirmed worldwide and not included in the total count.
All locations have been marked on the 2017 Shark Attack Bites Tracking Map.
*Two may be scavenge. **One report may have been outside of Florida waters.
