The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between food intake and sleep patterns in healthy individuals.
Fifty-two healthy volunteers (27 women and 25 men) were recruited to participate in the study. Volunteers underwent sleep evaluation through nocturnal polysomnography and completed a 3-day food diary to evaluate food intake.
No differences in sleep patterns were observed in either gender, except in the percentage of stage 1 sleep, which was greater in men. Different correlations were observed between sleep and dietary variables according to gender. The correlation between dietary and sleep variables in men indicated a negative relationship between nocturnal fat intake and the sleep latency, including REM sleep. The percentage of nocturnal fat intake correlated with sleep efficiency, sleep latency, REM latency, stage 2 sleep, REM sleep, and wake after sleep onset (WASO) in women. The percentage of nocturnal caloric intake correlated with sleep latency and efficiency in women.
We conclude that food intake during the nocturnal period is correlated with negative effects on the sleep quality of healthy individuals. Indeed, food intake near the sleeping period (dinner and late night snack) was negatively associated with sleep quality variables. More studies are necessary to elucidate the real effect of food intake on sleep.

Obesity is becoming a worldwide epidemic.1 The etiology of this disease is multifactorial; among the causes are changes in food intake,2 life style, environment,2,3 and genetics,4,5 in addition to physiological6 and psychological7 influences and, more recently, alterations in sleep patterns.8–11
Sleep curtailment has become common due to the demands and opportunities of modern society.12 Recent studies show that alterations in sleep time can influence various aspects associated with the nutritional and metabolic balance of the body, such as the control of body mass,9,11 food intake,10,13 glycemic levels,14,15 and the levels of cholesterol and triacylglycerol.16 Although some studies show that short duration sleep changes the food intake pattern and may cause obesity,9–11 few studies have analyzed whether the opposite casual sequence also occurs; that is, if food intake promotes alterations in the sleep pattern. Indeed, studies that have examined this matter are controversial and use different methodologies. Some studies indicate an impairment of sleep quality when there is an excessive carbohydrate intake.17,18 Driver et al.,19 however, comparing the effect of an evening meal on nocturnal sleep in seven healthy men, did not find any effect. Therefore, this study proposes to analyze the correlation between habitual food intake and sleep patterns in healthy individuals.
Current Knowledge/Study Rationale: Few studies have analyzed if food intake promotes alterations in the sleep pattern. Therefore, the objective of this study was to analyze the correlation between habitual food intake and sleep patterns in healthy individuals.
Study Impact: This study demonstrated that a higher food intake close to the sleeping period is associated with negative aspects of sleep patterns in healthy individuals, especially in women. However, this is an area poorly explored in the literature, and more studies are necessary to elucidate the real influence of food intake upon sleep.
Fifty-two healthy volunteers (27 women and 25 men) between 19 and 45 years old took part in this study. The participants were young adults and were non-obese. They were sedentary and not taking medication. They were all nonsmokers and spent regular times in bed at night (7.5-8.5 h). The subjects did not suffer from sleep disturbances (apnea and hypopnea index [AHI] < 5, and periodic leg movements [PLM] during sleep were < 5, as assessed by polysomnography).20,21 Volunteers were submitted to a clinical examination including blood, urine, and electrocardiogram tests, which were evaluated by a physician who approved their participation in the study. Enrolment was voluntary, and the subjects were informed of the procedures and objectives of the study.
The study was approved by the Committee of Ethics in Research of the Federal University of São Paulo (0019/08). After participants were informed about all the stages of this study and gave their written informed consent.
Food intake was determined through a self-administered food diary for 3 non-consecutive days, filled in immediately before the evaluation by polysomnography (PSG). Volunteers were instructed to provide as much detail as possible about the foods and fluids consumed, including brand names and recipes for home-cooked foods. Portion sizes were estimated using common household measurements such as cups, glasses, bowls, teaspoons, and tablespoons in addition to individual food items/units. The diaries were inspected by a researcher together with the subjects to obtain additional explanations and detail, if required. The Nutwin version 1.5 software (University of São Paulo, Brazil, 2002) was used for the quantitative analyses of caloric and macronutrient intakes. At the end of the study, all volunteers received a report containing the analyzed data from their food diary and individual nutritional guidance.
Volunteers arrived at the sleep laboratory at 21:30 for electrode attachment and went to bed at 23:00. Sleep parameters were recorded by means of 2 PSGs in the laboratory. The PSG was recorded using an EMBLA S7000 digital system (Embla Systems Inc, Medcare Flaga, Reykjavik, Iceland) in 30-sec epochs.
Electroencephalographic recordings were performed according to the international 10-20 system.22 Four channels were used for the electroencephalogram (EEG), 2 channels for the electrooculogram, and 2 channels for the electromyogram (submental and legs). The PSG used a thermistor and a nasal cannula to monitor the airflow, belts to monitor thoracic and abdominal effort, transcutaneous oximetry to record oxygen saturation, and a sensor tracking the position of the trunk during sleep.
Interpretations of the PSG were performed according to standard criteria for sleep classification.23 Analyses included measures of total sleep time (TST), sleep latency, REM sleep latency, sleep efficiency, stages N1, N2, and N3 of NREM sleep and REM sleep, wake after sleep onset (WASO), AHI, oxygen saturation, and PLM. In the results section, data were compared with normative data recommended by Carskadon and Dement.24
Except for periods of exercise and PSG monitoring, the volunteers were asked to go about their normal daytime activities. They were instructed to refrain from any extra exercise, evening tea or coffee, all alcohol, and naps. Adherence to these requests was assessed in the pre-PSG questionnaire.
Body mass and height were measured before the polysomnography examination. For the evaluation of height, a Sanny stadiometer with 0.1 cm precision (American Medical do Brasil,Ltd, Brazil) fixed to the wall was used. A Filizola scale (Star, Filizola, Brazil) with 0.1 kg precision was used to measure body mass. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated by dividing the body weight (in kilograms) by the height (in meters) squared (BMI = weight/height2). All measurements were determined according to the recommended techniques.25
All values were expressed as the mean ± standard deviation (SD) or the mean and 95% confidence intervals. Student's t-tests for independent samples were used for gender comparison between anthropometric, nutritional, and sleep characteristics. Pearson correlation coefficient was used to assess the association of sleep parameters with food intake. Associations between sleep duration and nutritional intake were further analyzed using multiple regression analysis adjusted for age, gender, BMI, and socioeconomic status. The results from the regression analysis are presented as β-values with P-values. The data were analyzed using Statistica 6.0 (StatSoft, Inc., Tulsa, OK, USA). Statistical tests with p ≤ 0.05 were accepted as significant.
Fifty-two participants (25 men and 27 women) completed all measurements. The characteristics of the participants are presented in Table 1. Men had significantly greater body mass, height, BMI, and caloric intake than women (Table 1).

The data for the observed PSG measures by gender appear in Table 1. Men had a significantly higher percentage of N1 sleep than did women. Although there were no statistically significant differences between genders, the percentage of waking after sleep onset was higher and REM sleep was lower than normative data. Women had reduced total sleep time (≤ 6 h) in comparison with normative data.
The correlation between dietary and sleep variables (Table 2) in men indicated a negative association between nocturnal fat intake, and sleep efficiency, and REM sleep, and a positive association between nocturnal fat intake, and sleep latency, REM sleep latency, N2 sleep, and WASO. In women, there were positive associations between sleep latency and caloric, protein, carbohydrate, and fat nocturnal intake; REM sleep latency and caloric, carbohydrate, and fat nocturnal intake; N2 sleep and caloric, carbohydrate, and fat nocturnal intake; and WASO and caloric, and fat nocturnal intake. In women, negative associations were found between sleep efficiency and caloric, carbohydrate, and fat nocturnal intake, and REM sleep and nocturnal fat intake.

When analyzing the influence of each meal on the sleep variables, we observed that caloric intake in a night (represented as percent of total caloric intake, %) correlated positively with sleep latency in women (r2 = 0.45; r = 0.67, p < 0.001) (n = 15) but not in men (Figure 1). Indeed, caloric intake in a night (%) correlated negatively with sleep efficiency in women (r2 = 0.26; r = −0.51, p = 0.007) (n = 15) (Figure 2) but not in men.

This study demonstrated that food intake, mainly in the evening period, is correlated with several variables related to sleep patterns (sleep efficiency, sleep latency, N2 sleep, REM sleep latency, REM percentage, and WASO). These results indicate that a higher food intake close to the sleeping period is associated with negative aspects of sleep patterns in healthy individuals, especially in women. Studies have shown pronounced gender differences in the occurrence of sleep disorders.26,27 It has been suggested these differences in sleep, while subtle under baseline conditions, may increase in magnitude under biological or environmental challenges.26,27 However, the role of food intake pattern in these differences is unknown, and further research should examine this relationship.
There is evidence that an adequate sleep pattern acts to protect against a series of nutritional and metabolic disorders such as obesity,28,29 dyslipidemia,16 diabetes, and insulin resistance.30,31 These disorders probably occur because sleep plays an important role in the metabolic control of the body.10,11 Therefore, alterations in the quantity and quality of sleep lead to hormonal disturbances; these might be capable of altering the physiological homeostasis and consequently generate diseases.10,11
According to our results, high caloric food intake preceding the sleeping period was correlated with greater sleep latency in women (nocturnal caloric intake correlated positively with sleep latency). In general, this meal took place between 30 and 60 minutes before the volunteers went to bed. Contrary to previous studies,18,19 our results suggest that intake of high fat and carbohydrate foods preceding the sleeping period are associated with higher sleep latency. Other studies19,20 have demonstrated that individuals who ingested a high-glycemic index, carbohydrate-rich meal 4 hours prior to sleep presented a decrease in sleep latency. In addition to the amount of carbohydrates, the glycemic index may have an important influence on sleep patterns, especially in inducing sleepiness. Different types of fat have also been shown to influence sleep. Grandner et al. found that actigraphic nocturnal sleep duration was negatively associated with total fat, monounsaturated fat, trans fat, saturated fat, and polyunsaturated fat, and that higher intakes of fat were associated with less sleep and subjective napping.32
Another factor that could have influenced our findings is that increased gastric volume leads to greater physical discomfort and thus impairs the consolidation of sleep onset. It has been demonstrated that sleep decreases the activity of the digestive tract,33 which may have an overloaded activity during the night if food intake is excessive.
Data from this study suggest that individuals who consume meals with increased fat content in the nocturnal period seem predisposed to have decreased REM sleep. Indeed, previous studies have shown that individuals who ingested a fatty meal felt sleepier.34,35 However, there are no studies associating food intake and sleep stages; thus a comparison with our results is not possible.
One issue to consider is the possibility that nocturnal food intake leads to deterioration in sleep patterns and can cause metabolic and nutritional problems. It is widely documented in the literature that changes in sleep patterns can alter the sensations of hunger and appetite and consequently lead to increased body mass.10,11 On the other hand, we showed recently that fat intake at night is associated with higher values for body fat percentage, body mass index, and waist circumference.36 This leads us to believe that the mechanism by which nocturnal food intake may trigger an increase in body mass can be modulated by sleep.
Further studies in this area should explore the effect of energy density (the amount of energy in a given weight of food), not just the calorie content, on the sleep patterns of both genders individuals. Studies have indicated that people tend to consume a fairly consistent weight of food over the course of a few days; therefore, the consumption of low-energy-dense foods that contain less energy per gram may decrease overall energy intake.37 However, the real effect of energy density on sleep patterns is unclear. Consuming water- and fiber-rich foods such as fruit and vegetables is one strategy for decreasing the energy density of the diet.38 It would be of great interest to understand whether this strategy would promote an effect on sleep patterns.
This study indicates that food intake, primarily preceding sleep, seems to exert a negative influence on sleep quality. However, our research had some limitations, such as the small number of participants. Therefore, more studies are needed, on a larger sample and wider range of individuals; evidence from older people is also required because age may affect sleep and nutrition patterns.There is also prominent response-set bias evident in the answers to methods used to investigate food intake. Volunteers may alter their diet records due to social desirability (the tendency to respond in such a way as to avoid criticism) and social approval (the tendency to seek praise).39 Indeed, this is an area poorly explored in the literature, and more studies are necessary to elucidate the real influence of food intake upon sleep.

The school bus carrying inner-city children pulled up to a big blue building in Barrio Logan that housed a chrome-plating plant.
David Alvarez, 13, an eighth-grade student at Memorial Preparatory, sat a few rows back as a teacher explained how pollution from local businesses, such as that one, had caused higher-than-average rates of
What he witnessed on the school trip and throughout his childhood would propel Alvarez on a journey to right social wrongs through public service and spur him to announce a surprise bid for San Diego mayor six weeks ago.
San Diego Mayoral Candidate Profiles
The kids on the bus were all from low-income families participating in a UC San Diego program aimed at exposing them to science and technology and how they impact lives. As the teacher spoke, Alvarez, who unbeknown to the others lived next door to the plant, noticed a middle-aged woman walking down the street wearing an apron and a
View the photo gallery: David Alvarez; a glimpse
A young boy a couple of rows ahead of Alvarez piped up. "Why would anybody want to live here with this pollution?" The teacher replied that technological change can sometimes bring injustice and inequality.
As the bus pulled away, Alvarez got a closer look at the woman on the sidewalk and saw it was his mother walking home from work.
"At that moment I realized that there are a lot of inequalities in the city," Alvarez said. "A lot of people are being left behind, and that's still the case today. And in a San Diego that's going to be great, we can't allow that to happen. We cannot allow the same people who have controlled this city for far too long to continue to control the city."
Now a city councilman, Alvarez, 33, is driven by this firsthand experience growing up in Barrio Logan. The Democrat's politics have been shaped by a poor upbringing, having siblings involved in gang life and becoming the first in his family to go to college.
His agenda mirrors that of former Mayor
He's also giving his neighborhood pitch a pro-business twist: better services and quality jobs attract workers who spend money, which increases the city's tax base.
The last high-profile candidate to announce, Alvarez began the mayor's race as an underdog against well-heeled rivals but has since secured the backing of the Democratic Party and the San Diego and Imperial Counties Labor Council, the region's largest labor organization, to make himself a major contender.
As Alvarez has shown time and again, the underdog role suits him well.
The political journey
Consider how far Alvarez has come since he first ran for City Council in 2010. He was actively opposed by the Labor Council, which spent nearly $113,000 to defeat him.
Now the Labor Council is willing to spend a half-million dollars or more on his mayoral bid.
His opponent in that council race, Felipe
A devout Roman Catholic, Alvarez prayed a lot during the campaign. Not to win, but to stay grounded.
"No matter what, I wasn't going to change who I was as an individual," he said. "I was going to run as David Alvarez, the guy who people knew from the community. … I ran with that attitude and it was so peaceful. I was so at ease. All the time."
Alvarez defied the odds, winning with 57 percent of the vote.
The newly elected councilman found a decidedly different challenge once he arrived at City Hall. He wanted to be a staunch advocate for the minority-rich southern San Diego neighborhoods he represented, but ran into Republican Mayor
The major legislative victory for Alvarez during that time was the Property Value Protection Ordinance, which forces bankers to care for foreclosed properties or pay fees. He developed it with community input, which supporters say is a hallmark of his inclusive governing style.
Once Filner, a Democrat, took office last December, Alvarez took on a much larger role. As Filner's closest council ally, he helped end the mayor's protracted dispute with hoteliers over tourism marketing revenue, broker a five-year labor deal that gave city workers across-the-board raises for the first time in years and achieve a prevailing-wage ordinance for city contractors.
He was also one of the first council members to denounce Filner as the sexual harassment scandal erupted.
Critics point to the strong financial backing he's received from organized labor and contend Alvarez will be beholden to the unions, which have resisted most efforts to reel in a pension system that has a long-term deficit in the billons.
Alvarez has matured quickly in less than three years on the council, but there remain doubters who question whether he has the know-how and experience to make good policy decisions. If elected, he would be the youngest San Diego mayor in 116 years.
"Clearly, some voters might have some concerns that David is only in his first term in elective office," said Republican consultant John Dadian, who is not involved with any of the campaigns. "When you become mayor, especially with our relatively new strong mayor form of government, that's a lot of power. You have to understand budgets and economics and a whole host of other issues, and that might be a concern on people's minds."
Those who have worked closely with Alvarez have no fear he'll rise to any challenge. His old boss, former state Sen. Denise Moreno Ducheny, said Alvarez had the ability to grasp the big picture while also explaining the finer details on major budgetary and policy issues during his five years on her staff.
"David is very serious," said Ducheny, echoing a description many others give about Alvarez. "The other big one, for me (is) actually caring about the constituents. Caring about getting people the answers and getting it done. Follow through."
The personal journey
Alvarez's parents came to the U.S. from Mexico and rented a small house on Newton Avenue between a mechanics shop and that chrome-plating plant. Every breath reminded him of his circumstances as pollution from the industrial businesses near his home he says gave him asthma.
Gang violence? He learned about that when his brother was shot in the leg during a drive-by. New clothes? Retail stores were out of the question, so his family shopped at garage sales in Clairemont and Point Loma, where he got glimpses of how other San Diegans lived.
At San Diego High School, Alvarez earned decent grades and excelled in math because he found the problem-solving satisfying. He also played in the marching band with a school-owned alto saxophone that had been used by generations of students.
He almost didn't go to college. His parents, who never made it beyond third grade, viewed a high school degree as a pinnacle achievement; college was something other people did. Alvarez's high school counselor disagreed and pushed him to apply to San Diego State. He got in.
National City Councilwoman Alejandra Sotelo-Solis, a family friend, said Alvarez later told her he felt a lot of pressure and responsibility from that moment forward. "He may be the youngest (of six siblings), but he takes the responsibility of a first child," she said, adding that Alvarez's widowed father now lives with him.
College showed him that you never know what doors open if you just try knocking. He presented his
When he volunteered for a local political campaign, he caught the eye of Richard Barrera, now head of the Labor Council and board member of the San Diego Unified School District, who was then a community organizer.
"What struck me about David was both how bright he was, but also, really, his humility," Barrera said. "This is not some hotshot kid going to college. He was very earnest, very much wanting to be engaged in work that was going to make the community better."
Focusing on the man
Alvarez is selling himself more than anything else in his bid for mayor.
Until last week his campaign had yet to put out a detailed plan on any subject and spent most of its time telling his personal story and touting the support he's received from prominent Democratic and labor groups. That may be because he doesn't have the lengthy track record of his rivals.
What he does have is life experience similar to many who felt the brunt of the recent economic recession and ideals that promote helping the working poor, the homeless and the disenfranchised.
Xochitl Alvarez, an assistant principal expecting the couple's second child, said her husband has been serving others since he was a teenager through community and church activities.
"He's doing this because he really cares about San Diego, to see people really have a better opportunity," she said. "It's just how we are, how we grew up, helping other people."
Specifically, Alvarez is advocating reinvesting in neighborhoods, addressing the city's infrastructure backlog, increasing pay for police officers and asking residents about what they want done.
Not everyone thinks Alvarez has the community's best interests at heart. The councilman recently struck a last-minute compromise on the Barrio Logan community plan to create a buffer between residences and shipyards. While many in the community support the plan, it continues to have opponents on both sides of the neighborhood-industry dispute.
"There's a major trust factor with David," said community activist Rachel Ortiz. "People who have worked not just these five years (on the plan) but as far back as 40 years, who renovated Barrio Logan, are insulted. It's a slap in the face. That land was supposed to be ours, a testament to our progress over the decades. It was for his political gain, period. It's obvious."
Alvarez responded, "Leadership is not pandering to one specific group. My role as a leader is to make decisions based on the best interest of the majority."
Spread the success
As youngsters, Alvarez and his brothers often rode their bicycles along Imperial Avenue and Harbor Drive, zipping by warehouses and industrial buildings and into the deserted roads of downtown's East Village.
Through the years he saw those crumbling relics get rebuilt and modernized. Public investment created the Gaslamp Quarter to rejuvenate downtown, and one of the buildings he used to ride by — the Western Metal Supply Co. — became the left-field facade at
When it comes to revitalization, Alvarez calls downtown "the best job, if not the only success story." But that success is a constant reminder of what he views as a broader failure: how other neighborhoods continue to struggle. Alvarez has made it his mission to shift the attention — and cash flow — to places and programs that have been overlooked for decades.
Those aren't just empty words to Alvarez, as he witnessed up close the city's unequal attention on communities. So here's his pitch: Who better to focus on shifting City Hall's focus toward neighborhoods than the boy on that bus who grew up — and still lives — on those streets?

UFC boss: GSP doesn't want superfight vs. Silva
Dana White still would love to put one of those coveted superfights together. But for one of them, he may be past the point of believing it'll ever happen.
The UFC president consistently has been badgered for several years about putting together a fight between UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre (24-2 MMA, 18-2 UFC) and middleweight titleholder Anderson Silva (33-4 MMA, 16-0 UFC). And more recently, there have been calls for a fight between Silva and light heavyweight champ Jon Jones (18-1 MMA, 12-1 UFC).
But White isn't sure a GSP-Silva fight will happen — because it's not a fight St-Pierre wants. Silva on Saturday defends his title against Chris Weidman at UFC 162 at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
WHITE:Boss "talking" with boxer on Silva bout
SILVA:Insists he's "not scared of Jon Jones"
"There's no doubt about it — that's a fact (that St-Pierre doesn't want the fight)," White told MMAjunkie.com on Thursday following the pre-event news conference for UFC 162. "If that was the case, he'd say, '(Expletive) Weidman. I'll take that fight. I really think Weidman's going to beat him, but I don't want Weidman to beat him. I want to be the guy to beat him.' "
St-Pierre, though, apparently doesn't believe Silva will beat Weidman. So instead of holding off to see if Silva gets another win, then trying to put a superfight together, St-Pierre focused his next effort on top welterweight contender Johny Hendricks. The two are expected to meet at UFC 167 in November in Las Vegas.
"I've been working hard to try to make those fights," White said. "Georges St-Pierre would not even think about this fight because Anderson Silva's going to (lose), according to Georges St-Pierre."
UFC 162:Why are so many fighters picking against Silva?
FULL COVERAGE:Complete MMA news at MMAjunkie.com
Silva will attempt to extend his UFC record for not only consecutive wins, but consecutive successful title defenses when he takes on Weidman.
St-Pierre took a unanimous decision from Nick Diaz in March in front of his home fans in Montreal. The Canadian has won 11 straight fights with eight consecutive title defenses.
Silva widely is considered the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world. And depending on the rankings, St-Pierre is considered No. 2 or No. 3, flip-flopping with Jones. Silva is No. 1, Jones No. 2 and St-Pierre No. 3 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie.com pound-for-pound rankings.
And that's why White is unsure why St-Pierre wouldn't want to make the fight happen, even at a catch-weight, to prove who's the best.
"At the end of the day, he weighs 170 pounds," White said. "Any guy who's going to fight up in weight — 'I'm the man here at 170. If I thought I was the man at 185, I'd be at 185.' I get it. But it's a fight a lot of fans want to see, it's a big fight. It's a legacy fight, and it's a fight for the pound-for-pound best in the world.
"Georges St-Pierre could do this catch-weight fight and he could still be the champ at 170. But what's crazy to me is, GSP opted to take a very dangerous fight (against Hendricks) at 170 without trying to take a dangerous fight at 185."

Typhoon Utor lands in China as Hong Kong shuts down
Thousands of travellers stranded as winds peak at 145 km/h
Tens of thousands of people were evacuated as a powerful typhoon thundered into southern China on Wednesday after shutting down the bustling Asian financial centre of Hong Kong and sinking a cargo ship.
Packing high winds and torrential rain, Typhoon Utor forced the closure of schools, offices, shopping centres and construction sites in cities along its path northwest across Guangdong province.
More than 60,000 people were evacuated in the city of Maoming alone, while another 98,000 were moved to safety to the south on the island province of Hainan, where 26,000 fishing boats were also ordered to shelter in harbours. Flights and ferry services were suspended on the island, stranding thousands of travellers.
There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries on the mainland due to the storm, which was packing sustained gale force winds of 145 kilometres per hour.
In Hong Kong, offices, schools and courts were shut and the stock market halted trading, bringing an eerie calm to the normally busy southern Chinese commercial hub. More than 350 flights were cancelled or delayed, and bus and commuter ferry services were curtailed.
Year's strongest typhoon
Helicopter search and rescue teams from Hong Kong and Guangdong province rescued 21 crew members from the Trans Summer, a bulk carrier, after it started listing in waters southwest of Hong Kong, local broadcaster RTHK said.
Six people in Hong Kong were reported injured. Strong winds blew down 21 trees, but otherwise the city emerged largely unscathed.
[IMAGEGALLERY galleryid=4853 size=small]
Utor was the world's strongest typhoon of the year before it crossed the Philippines earlier this week, leaving at least seven people dead and four missing. One woman in northeastern Isabela province was seen on camera being swept away by a raging river. Her body was found later.
Dozens of fishermen were missing after the storm, but most have since returned home, officials said.
Rescuers were still struggling to reach at least three isolated towns in the hardest-hit Aurora province, where the typhoon slammed ashore.
"As of now, we don't have communication (with the three towns) and the roads are not passable, even to motorcycles, due to landslides, rockslides and uprooted trees," said Rey Balido, spokesman for the national disaster agency. He said authorities were taking alternate routes and that the Philippine air force would deliver relief goods.

Mourinho has brought his Real Madrid side to Manchester knowing they must score against United to stand any chance of preserving their Champions League place.
It is a clash of the titans, which had even put AC Milan versus Barcelona in the shade until the Italians recorded their stunning first-leg win last month.
Nevertheless, interest worldwide is huge and Mourinho knows he is centre stage. "Who knows what will make the difference?" he said. "That is the one million dollar question.
"Tomorrow the world will stop for this tie. They are on a fantastic run, better than ever this season. FA Cup quarter-final, winning the Premier League in March, don't lose a match in months.
"We are also in good form in 2013. We have lost one match. It doesn't look a tie, it looks a final. Let's see which teams are at Wembley but I doubt the expectation can be bigger than this."
Nine years ago, at exactly the same stage of the competition, Mourinho came to Old Trafford for a second-leg tie and ended up charging down the touchline in delight at a last-minute Costinha goal that sent FC Porto through.
Since then, one of the most charismatic figures in the game has won domestic titles in four different countries and is currently aiming to become the first man to coach three teams to Champions League glory, following success that season with Porto before lifting the trophy with Inter Milan in 2010.
Yet Mourinho insists nothing much has changed since that day in 2004 when he announced himself to the English game.
"It means the same," he said. "I look at the situation with different emotions and the approach is completely different.
"That match was my first season in the Champions League. Now I have more than 100 matches and I can control my emotions in a different way.
"If I lose tomorrow I don't cry. If I win, I don't run 100 metres. But the happiness and sadness will be the same; whether I am sleeping well or not, whether I laugh a lot on the plane or pretend I am asleep. That is the same story."

WSF Add Number of Hands
New US Coast Guard regulations require Washington State Ferries to increase crew on Puget Sound routes.
The Jumbo, Super, Issaquah and Evergreen State ferry classes – which carry many of the system's 22 million annual riders – have new staffing requirements before they may sail on the waters of Puget Sound, in order to comply with a new directive from the United States Coast Guard.
Washington State Ferries has already added two crewmembers to the Issaquah ferry and will implement the new staffing levels for the others once the USCG issues the revised certificate of inspection for each vessel. The USCG is also adjusting its requirements for staffing levels based on the number of passengers carried on the Super, Issaquah and Evergreen State class vessels.
"We appreciate the Coast Guard's allowance for variable staffing levels on some vessels based on the number of passengers," said David Moseley, assistant secretary for the Washington State Department of Transportation, Ferries Division. "On some sailings where our passenger numbers are routinely low, we may be able to sail with one fewer crew member, making the system more cost-effective."
WSF is analyzing the costs associated with these revisions. The nation's largest ferry system has been squeezed financially since the loss of the Motor Vehicle Excise Tax in 1999 but has managed with moderate fare increases and some service reductions, in addition to nearly $1 billion in transfers from other transportation accounts since 2000.

G is a group. For a subgroup H of G, note $[H]$ the class of subgroups which are conjugate to H.
Define the binary relation: $[H] \leq [K]$ iff $H_0 \subset K_0$ for some $H_0 \in [H]$ and $K_0 \in [K]$
It is easy to see that this relation is reflexive and transitive. But how to show that it is anti-symmetric?
P.S. In a book, the author claims that this relation defines a partial order on the classes of conjugate subgroups in a context where G is a compact Lie group. But I don't think the compact Lie group condition be essential, right?

E-Discovery Categories of Electronically Stored Information
In e-discovery, electronically stored information (ESI) is divided into five categories, which are grouped into two tiers based on the effort and cost needed to access ESI. Keep these categories in mind when requesting ESI or responding to a request:
|What It Is
|Active, online data
|ESI created, received, or processed; or that's quickly
and frequently accessed. Examples: hard drives and
active network servers.
|First tier: reasonably accessible
|Near-line data (short for near online)
|ESI stored on removable media or accessed via automated or
robotic storage systems. Access speeds range from a few
milliseconds up to 2 minutes. Examples: optical disk
and magnetic tape.
|First tier: reasonably accessible
|Offline storage and archives
|ESI sent to storage. Unlike the first two categories, offline
ESI is accessed manually. Examples: magnetic tape or
optical disks; referred to as JBOD (just a bunch of
|First tier: reasonably accessible
|Backup tapes, commonly using data compression
|ESI stored for backup or disaster recovery and not organized
for retrieval of specific files or messages. Retrieving ESI
requires restoring the entire tape and might require reversing the
compression used to fit more bytes of data. The discovery of ESI
from backup tapes requires proof that their need and relevance
outweigh their retrieval and processing costs.
Example: backup tapes.
|Second tier: not reasonably accessible
|Erased, fragmented, or corrupted data
|Erased, overwritten, fragmented (broken up and stored in
separate areas), or corrupted files (damaged by computer viruses,
or a hardware/software malfunction) are the least accessible. This
ESI might be accessed only after significant processing or might be
impossible to access at all.

Superbad 99 Information Joke 14 Fake with Movie Id Mclovin Your Image Customize Picclick
Well, there are many websites where you can get your false id created. But finding a good site is not that easy in this internet world. Because nowadays so many scam and fraud websites are there, so to find the best one is not easy.
But I personally prefer fake id maker for getting my id created. Their service is quite good and you can get a good quality false id. You can also search online, but you need to check all the reviews of the site first. It will help you to find the best one.
There is no denying the necessity of having an ID on you in every situation you get into. One cannot further emphasize the importance of carrying an ID at all times since everybody is aware or probably has an experience of not bringing one and suffering its consequences. Having an identification is important for age verification, especially when buying alcohol. It is also very important for traveling and for processing papers and documents.
But nowadays, having an ID means more. It still serves its main purpose which is to identify people, but at the same time, it grants one of many privileges and is now used to gain access to a whole new world.
Having a fake ID may give you everything you want but remember that there are also consequences to it when you are caught. So before you venture to find the answers, think of the following:
First and foremost, it is illegal to use or carry around with you a fake identity document. It is also punishable by law to make them and make business with them through selling.
Pursuing the idea of getting one may lead to penalties that require money for fines you'll need to pay; worst, you'll be put into jail and stay behind the bars for a certain period of time.
Superbad 99 Information Joke 14 Fake with Movie Id Mclovin Your Image Customize Picclick Like your school records, being accused and convicted of the possession of a falsified document will be shown on your criminal record - and it is permanent! This may lead to difficulty getting into college or getting a decent job. So before asking yourself "where can I get a fake ID", think multiple times and decide what's best for you. Remember that the same penalties are applied when you lend your ID to someone else.
Let's say you are not planning on getting a false identification but you are helping someone else get one - bad idea! It's illegal as well.
Superbad 99 Information Joke 14 Fake with Movie Id Mclovin Your Image Customize Picclick There are states who rigidly train people to detect fakes; so before looking and asking for sources, make sure you know which states and establishments will easily detect them.
Greetings to you all, am from UK and I got my fake ID from FAKE id ~ An amazing website. They produce both real and fake all the information into the database system and if the id card or driver's license is checked using a data reading machine, all your information will show up in the system and you shall legally use the document.

I am a baseball fan who kind of likes box score stats. Not that stats say everything about a team or player but it is a natural to want to keep watching a stat like batting average or home runs or with a pitcher, earned run average, or how many times a team has beaten another team in a given year. Those are the stats that I like to keep track of and it is what has made fantasy leagues more appealing as well. Fast forward into the recent days of 'new age' stats, these are stats that a lot of people who are fans of baseball have never heard of. Advanced stats that use complicated methods of math to come up with numbers that are supposed to mean something. Bill James has made a lot of money each year publishing books full of numbers and stats that would make your head spin, and a lot of it seems like snake oil numbers to me.
New coined stats such as VORP, which means: (from baseballprospectus.com)
Value Over Replacement Player. The number of runs contributed beyond what a replacement-level player at the same position would contribute if given the same percentage of team plate appearances. VORP scores do not consider the quality of a player's defense.
Ok, I can sort of follow what that stat might tell me. How much better a value of a player a certain guy is over another player on offense. I'll buy this one in a way. I'll look at the number VORP a player has though and wonder what all went into making it up. Consider me at this point, very skeptical at what the stat and quality of it's makeup actually means.
Then you have the 'way out there' 'new age' stats like this one:
EqA – the meaning and computation goes like this (also from Baseball prospectus.com)
EqAEquivalent Average. A measure of total offensive value per out, with corrections for league offensive level, home park, and team pitching. EQA considers batting as well as baserunning, but not the value of a position player's defense. The EqA adjusted for all-time also has a correction for league difficulty. The scale is deliberately set to approximate that of batting average. League average EqA is always equal to .260.
EqA is derived from Raw EqA, which is
RawEqA =(H+TB+1.5*(BB+HBP+SB)+SH+SF-IBB/2)/(AB+BB+HBP+SH+SF+CS+SB)
Any variables which are either missing or which you don't want to use can simply be ignored (be sure you ignore it for both the individual and league, though). You'll also need to calculate the RawEqa for the entire league (LgEqA).
Convert RawEqA into EqR, taking into account the league EqA LgEqA, league runs per plate appearance, the park factor PF, an adjustment pitadj for not having to face your own team's pitchers, and the difficulty rating. Again, you can ignore some of these as the situation requires. xmul can simply be called "2", while the PF, diffic, and pitadj can be set to "1".
EQAADJ=xmul*(RawEqa/LgEqa)* ((1+1/diffic)/2) + (1-xmul)
To get the final, fully adjusted EqA, we need to place this into a team environment.
This is an average team:
AVGTM=Lg(R/Out)*Lg(Outs/game)*PF*Games*(DH adjustment)
The DH adjustment is for playing in a league with a DH. "Games" is the number of games played by this player.
Replacing one player on the average team with our test subject:
Get pythagorean exponent
Calculate win percentage
Convert into adjusted space, where the Pythagorean exponent is set to 2.
Fully adjusted EqR:
EQR=.17235*((NEWTM-1)*27.*Games + Outs)
Fully adjusted EqA
EQA= (EQR/5/Outs)** 0.4
Now this stat is deep, but it's one that I wouldn't give a second glance to, it's too complicated and what does it prove? Do you see the computation above? This isn't rocket science, it's baseball. I don't care for Algebra and am not a fan of these type of wild computations. It sells books, but in reality, it's a bunch of useless computations that go nowhere. There are many, many, more of these zany brainy computations with names that go with them. There have been recent reports of teams that have bought into the value of some of these numbers and stats.I don't see how you can give much credence to this.
Give me a team's press notes, some stats from the box scores, and I'm good to go, What do I care if Player A's numbers are 1.2354789 and Player B's numbers for the same thing is 1.2235647 – am I supposed to think less of Player B with these Sabermetrics? I don't think so.

Rated 5 out of 5 by knightofcary from Replacement Thermal Carafe I had been planning on ordering the brew thru lid for some time especially since my coffee was cold so quickly after brewing so I was looking for anyway to help. While investigating I found that some of the carafes were defective and since I was desperate and getting tired of quickly cooling coffee or moving the coffee to an insulated container I decided to order the carafe which comes with the brew thru lid and since Williams-Sonoma offered both with free shipping, I ordered it and I am completely happy with the results. I wish I would of known about the problem with the carafe earlier so I could of gone back to the retailer I purchased my KBT-741 from and get a replacement but with the free shipping and getting the brew thru lid together with the carafe, I didn't pay that much more then just ordering the lid and paying for the shipping. Very satisfied with the carafe and Williams-Sonoma.Date published: 2012-05-30

One tester loved the style as much as the function: \\"They're sexy as hell.\\"\\n__Runner-up:__ NB Minimus 20v2, $85; [NewBalance.com](http://www.NewBalance.com). [CrossFit](/fitness/workouts/2011/10/crossfit-slideshow) fanatics, these shoes are for you. A low heel lets you sink deeper into squats, generating explosive power.

Testers liked them for \\"quick changes in direction.\\" That means you, [Zumba](/fitness/2012/04/hottest-workout-classes-slideshow).\\n__Runner-up:__ Under Armour Strut, $87; [UA.com](http://www.UA.com). These slip-ons are great for agility exercises (think: speed ladder or carioca)—the adjustable Velcro strap lets you customize your heel support.\\n__Editor's pick:__ Real Flex Transition, $100; [Reebok.com](http://www.Reebok.com). \\"I have an old [knee injury](/fitness/workouts/2012/01/nixing-knee-pain-slideshow), and the flexible sole kept me in control—even during kickboxing.\\" *—Alyssa Longobucco, editorial assistant*\\nDeconstructed sneaks force otherwise dormant foot muscles into action. Make sure your feet are ready for minimalist kicks with this [4-week strengthening plan](/fitness/workouts/2011/06/moves-to-strengthen-your-feet-slideshow).\\n\\n__Winner:__ Lithe Glove, $125; [Merrell.com](http://www.Merrell.com). Minor cushioning but major flexibility make these the ultimate minimalist multitaskers. Testers wore them to Zumba, on the elliptical and for a [run](/fitness/2010/06/running-guide), saying their feet \\"could really grab the ground.\\"\\n__Runner-up:__ IsoTransition, $120; [PearlIzumi.com](http://www.PearlIzumi.com). A low profile keeps you closer to the ground, so you're more fleet-footed. Tie-free laces let you pull them on (and off) fast, and the lining wicks sweat. Our testers said, \\"Socks optional.\\"\\n__Editor's pick:__ AdiPure, $90; [Adidas.com](http://www.Adidas.com). \\"They're like gloves for the feet, so it's easy to grip any surface more firmly—and perfect for when you want to feel the turf underfoot.\\" *—Tula Karras, contributing editor*\\nA more substantial shoe takes the pounding out of your feet and onto the pavement.\\n\\n__Winner:__ Wave Creation 13; $150; [MizunoRunning.com](http://www.MizunoRunning.com).

Fit tip: Go up a half size.\\n__Runner-up:__ Trance 11, $140; [BrooksRunning.com](http://www.BrooksRunning.com). A dense foam midsole makes it durable. This category of so-called stability shoes is ideal for heavier gals. Plus, \\"the arch support is great,\\" testers agreed.\\n__Editor's pick:__ GEL-Kayano 18, $150; [Asics.com](http://www.Asics.com). \\"If you [run for an hour or more](/fitness/2010/06/proper-running-technique-slideshow) at a pop, you'll love these. Light enough to be quick and soft enough to feel sweet to your feet, they're great training shoes for a marathon or a half.\\" *—Lucy Danziger, editor-in-chief*\\nLight-as-a-feather [minimalist shoes](/fitness/workouts/2011/06/moves-to-strengthen-your-feet-slideshow) encourage a more natural forefoot strike, which lessens the load on your joints.\\n\\n__Winner:__ GEL-Neo33, $105; [Asics.com](http://www.Asics.com). Designed to allow all 33 joints in your foot to move freely, these are minimalist without being too minimal, with a thicker sole. \\"I felt energized. My feet weren't constricted,\\" a tester said.\\n__Runner-up:__ Avi-Release A5305W, $60; [Avia.com](http://www.Avia.com). What this lightweight lacks in traditional cushioning, it makes up for with shock-absorbing rubber soles. It's a smart entry point to the minimal trend. \\"My feet felt naked in a good way!\\"\\n__Editor's pick:__ Under Armour Charge RC, $120; [UA.com](http://www.UA.com). \\"There's hardly any padding, but the way the wide-set laces grip my foot makes me feel protected.\\" *—Jaclyn Emerick, editorial assistant*\\nNeutral runners go farther and faster in pillowlike picks that ease the impact.\\n\\n__Winner:__ ZigNano Fly 2, $100; [Reebok.com](http://www.Reebok.com). The signature zigzag sole puts bounce in your step, literally. \\"The bottoms are like springs, easing you off the ground,\\" a tester claimed.\\n__Runner-up:__ Wave Inspire 8, $115; [MizunoRunning.com](http://www.MizunoRunning.com). A solid rubber forefoot outsole provides cushioning and durability. \\"They were supportive yet light.\\"\\n__Editor's pick:__ 890v2, $110; [NewBalance.com](http://www.NewBalance.com). \\"They're so thin, they look more like racing shoes, but the compact padding feels plush.\\" *—Nicole Catanese, fitness director*\\nSuperlight sneakers with a firm midsole can help you run faster.\\n\\n__Winner:__ LunarEclipse+ 2, $135; [Nike.com](http://www.Nike.com). A sock liner with two densities of foam cradles your midfoot. Have high arches? These will fit like a glove. And even with all of the bells and whistles, testers found the shoes surprisingly \\"airy and flexible.\\"\\n__Runner-up:__ Single-Track Hayasa, $110; [TheNorthFace.com](http://www.TheNorthFace.com). \\"So light!\\" testers agreed. Pro racer Tsuyoshi Kaburaki codeveloped this 7.2-oz featherweight (the name means \\"speed\\" in Japanese). The grippy sole acts like cleats—but with enough padding to feel smooth.\\n__Editor's pick:__ Triumph 9, $130; [Saucony.com](http://www.Saucony.com). \\"I trained for a 5K in these, and the springy platform helped me shave two minutes off my time.\\" *—Marissa Stephenson, fitness editor*\\nWalkers strike heel first, rolling heel to toe, so a supportive heel, flexible sole and bend in the toe box are key.\\n\\n__Winner:__ Devotion, $80; [Ryka.com](http://www.Ryka.com). Eight squishy triangles create a platform along the bottom of the shoe.

Commentator Robert Pines could not have been more wrong in his statement that East Jerusalem was "annexed" by Israel in 1967 ("U.S. must recognize Israel's capital," Aug. 15).
The facts are that Israel started a war in 1967 in order to steal Palestinian lands in Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
The U.S. should demand a just Israeli-Palestinian peace settlement based on the pre-1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as the capital of the new Palestinian state.
It is time for the U.S. to end all financial, military and political aid to Israel and become an honest broker for peace in the Middle East.

Measure the circumference of your chest. Place one end of the tape measure at the fullest part of your bust, wrap it around (under your armpits, around your shoulder blades, and back to the front) to get the measurement.
Start at one hip and wrap the tape measure around your rear, around the other hip, and back to where you started. Make sure the tape is over the largest part of your buttocks. It's not that easy so try to do it in front of a mirror to get it right.
Use the tape to circle your waist (sort of like a belt would) at your natural waistline, which is located above your belly button and below your rib cage. (If you bend to the side, the crease that forms is your natural waistline.) Don't suck in your stomach.

Three pages of typewriter paper is all it is but today it was auctioned off at a shiny $1,350,000 price tag.
On April 1, 1976, Ronald Wayne, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak all lent their signatures to the documents entitled "Apple Computer Company Partnership Agreement."
Apple's founding documents went up for auction this morning at Sotheby's in New York.
Wade Saadi, the founder and chief executive officer of Pencom Systems Inc., was the former owner of the documents.
He spoke with Bloomberg Television's "In Business" host Margaret Brennan about why he decided to to sell them now.
He said he hasn't told many that he had the documents but when Jobs passed away in October, his phone began to ring from a few who knew he had the papers.
Sotheby's originally valued the paperwork at $150,000. You can watch the full report and get a look at the documents yourself below.

Andrew Woodley -- Otterbein Sports Information
WESTERVILLE, Ohio – The Otterbein University Cardinals kicked off the 2012 season with a 15-0 victory over Gallaudet University in Tim Doup's first game as head coach of the Cardinals at Memorial Stadium Saturday afternoon.
With the win, Otterbein starts the season 1-0 and hands Doup his first head coaching victory. Meanwhile, the Bison fall to 0-1 after a second-consecutive season-opening loss to the Cardinals.
Doup, who was the team's offensive coordinator for the past nine seasons, is the first Otterbein head coach to win his opening game since Rocky Alt in 2001. Doup was promoted to head coach in May after former coach Joe Loth resigned to accept the head coaching position at Western Connecticut State University.
The Cardinal defense, which was ranked ninth in the Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC) last season, held Gallaudet to just 219 yards of total offense and completed their first shutout since the 2010 opener when thety defeated Husson College 38-0.
On Otterbein's first drive of the game, senior quarterback Aaron Kingcade led the Cards deep into Gallaudet territory. But the Bison ended Otterbein's drive with an interception at the one-yard line.
On the next play senior Joe Whitehead penetrated the Bison line and tackled Gallaudet running back Braxton Baker in the end zone to give Otterbein a 2-0 lead less than five minutes into the game.
The Cardinals added three more points on a 31-yard field goal by sophomore Nick Ganus to take a 5-0 lead into the second quarter.
Both teams went scoreless in the second frame. Otterbein had two opportunities to score but failed to add to their lead on both tries. Ganus missed a 40-yard field goal attempt on their first possession of the quarter, and Kingcade was intercepted at the Gallaudet 5-yard line on their second try.
The Cardinals started the second half in Bison territory after junior Alex Cameron took the opening kickoff back to the Gallaudet 49-yard line. A facemask penalty on the play put Otterbein at the 34-yard line but the Cardinals had to settle for a 37-yard field goal from Ganus to make the score 8-0 with 13:19 left in the third quarter.
Otterbein finally punched the ball into the end zone in the fourth quarter. Aaron Kingcade ran the ball in on a third and goal from the 4-yard line to put the Cardinals up 15-0 with 11:26 left in the game.
Gallaudet failed to cut into the deficit at all and the Cardinals chewed up the clock on the ground to pick up the victory.
Kingcade, who was an All-North Region punter last season, finished the game 11 of 18 for 118 yards in his first start as the Otterbein quarterback. He added six carries on the ground for 17 yards and a touchdown.
Senior Brock Burzanko carried the load for the Cardinals with 13 rushes for 42 yards while junior Steven Carpenter led Otterbein through the air with four catches for 30 yards.
Defensively, the Cardinals held the Gallaudet offense in check and never allowed the Bison to gain more than 20 yards on a single play. Otterbein racked up nine tackles for loss and only allowed Gallaudet to convert 3 of 11 third-down tries.
Junior Jaylin Kennedy intercepted two passes for the Cards, while senior Chad Pepper and juniors Zack Grieves and Patrick Seesholtz all had six tackles to pace the defense. Grieves and Seesholtz each had a sack as well.
The Cardinals are idle next weekend and will return to action in two weeks when they travel to Wilmington College to play the Quakers in their OAC opener. Kick-off for the game is scheduled for 7 p.m.

GE's slogan couldn't have been much truer than this.
The D & O Diary-
In a January 12, 2012 opinion that quotes from (and relies upon) former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson's credit crisis memoirs, Southern District of New York Judge Richard Holwell granted in part and denied in part the motion to dismiss in the subprime and credit crisis related securities class action lawsuit that investors had filed against General Electric, certain of its directors and officers, and its offering underwriters. A copy of Judge Holwell's opinion can be found here.
As discussed in greater detail here, the plaintiffs first filed their action in March 2009, alleging that the company had failed to disclose information regarding the company's health and the health of its financial subsidiary, GE Capital, at the height of the financial crisis. As Judge Holwell summarized it, the plaintiffs allege that "during a time when the financial markets were crumbling and companies across the United States were scrambling to disclose their holdings in subprime loans, GE withheld information regarding its substantial holdings in subprime and non-investment grade loans and touted GE as safe in comparison to its competitors, despite the fact that GE was also feeling the impact of the financial crisis."

The 30-Day Vegan Challenge
Did you consume more than your fair share of turkey, roast beef and spiral ham this holiday season? Perhaps it's time to consider The Thirty-Day Vegan Challenge, a multimedia online program, created by Colleen Patrick-Goudreau, featuring written, audio and video content to give you everything you need to jumpstart your body back into action.
Colleen Patrick-Goudreau is a noted speaker, cookbook author, chef and advocate for the vegan lifestyle, and addresses the spiritual, social and practical aspects of a vegan lifestyle. She is the author of three cookbooks: "The Joy of Vegan Baking," "The Vegan Table," and "Color Me Vegan" - as well as as a book about integrating a vegan diet into your everyday life, "Vegan's Daily Companion," and her online program, "The 30-Day Vegan Challenge."
This most recent multimedia project offers participants the opportunity to explore vegan cooking through a variety of applications.
Where's the Beef?
Goudreau has solutions for those of you wondering where you'll get your protein, how to bake without eggs, or if you can really live without cheese, Goudreau addresses these issues through a multimedia online program featuring written, audio, and video content to give people everything they need to support a journey towards what she considers "optimal wellness."
Each day for 30 days, participants receive a daily email covering a different topic, from cooking and shopping to reading labels and socializing. Content is delivered in a variety of mediums: as written material, audio messages ("podcasts"), and videos. Each day also offers printable resources, menu ideas, meal suggestions, and brand-new recipes from Goudreau. Participants also get access to resources and content online through their own password-protected portal. The website also features community pages so participants can support each other, share tips, and discuss their progress.
Goudreau, who has appeared on the Food Network and PBS, says the mission of her work is to empower people to make informed food choices, to debunk myths about veganism and animal rights, and to give people the tools and resources they need to live according to their own values of compassion and wellness. She always says she's not asking people to live according to her values; she's urging people to live according to their own.
The 30-day program covers everything from stocking a healthful vegan kitchen to better baking without eggs. By the end of the month, participants also have the tools to "eat confidently and joyfully in social situations" and keep a balanced perspective, focusing on intention not perfection.
