text: Photographic Gallery - Graz Part 1 Project 2007 Ioannis Pinakos University of Huddersfield Huddersfield UK The Photographic Gallery aims to revitalise a neglected corner of the dense, historical centre of Graz. The concept draws inspiration from the existing urban fabric, with its complex circulation routes through a network of alleys and courtyards that form the connections between the major streets. The human scale of Graz is continued by respecting and adhering to neighbouring building lines. Light is used as a tool to express a solid corner; a tool that plays a game with impression and expression. The earthy concrete becomes translucent at night, projecting the heart of the building, the gallery, to its surroundings. Ioannis Pinakos This Photographic Gallery in Graz, Austria has been chosen by the School because of its elegant response to a tight corner site within Graz's historic region. The form is articulate in its expression and provides a focus to both pedestrians and vehicles. There is sophistication to the materiality and careful consideration of lighting, movement and circulation. It is a project that explores and exposes the urban fabric as inhabited wall, and plays with notions of image and projection, of time passing and of the expression of the moment.

The Benefits of Modern Day Carpeting
If you are looking to change the old floor and have something new and something more attractive, then there are a number of floor coverings such as hardwood floor, tile flooring, carpeting and many more.
If we talk about one option that is more common throughout the world, then I will say that carpets are the most popular and widely in use floor covering. They are there from the ancient times, and they will remain a stylish and versatile option for the rest of life because of the countless benefits that they have. You should visit a carpet store, buy one and look for professional carpet installation in Chevy Chase, MD to enjoy the many benefits of carpets.
Here are the many benefits of carpets and I am sure that after knowing these benefit:
Benefit 1: They Are Cost Effective
If you are looking for the most cost effective and economical flooring option, then it has to be the carpets. The carpet flooring is the most economical option when compared with the other floor coverings and there is a wide range of designs available and you can select the one according to your budget.
Benefit 2: Easy Maintenance
The general perception about the traditional carpets is that they are hard to maintain and people often complain the stains and the other related issues with the carpeting. For that, they believe that looking for carpeting in Chevy Chase, MD is not a smart choice. But, the fact is that modern day carpets are very easy to maintain and they are stain-resistant as well. In addition to that, there are now lots more ways to get your carpet cleaned easily and just the right way.
Benefit 3: Safety
Because carpets are soft, the cushioning structure will provide you a non-slip surface. So, it means that if you have the carpets in place, then it will avoid the slips and the cushion-fall, hence the chances of injuries would be reduced. Additionally, if something is dropped on it incidentally, like your expensive Smartphone, then it will provide a cushion for that and the Smartphone will not get a huge damage.
Benefit 4: Warmth and insulation
You know it is quite uncomfortable to walk on the floor in a winter morning. That is another reason why the carpet flooring is a favorite option for most of the homeowners because the carpets provide warmth to the room and they are very comfortable, especially in the winter months. There are the millions of fibers in a carpet and this is where the heat is trapped. The carpets also offer a great layer of insulation and they can resist against the uncomfortable weathers, the result will also be the reduced energy bills.
Carpets are also a good option for the homeowners who wants to reduce noise in a given room, clean air and also for the ones who want to enhance the aesthetic beauty of your living place.

One of the oldest geometric shapes found throughout the ancient world are spirals. Petroglyphs of spirals date back to around the Neolithic period. Yet, ancient cultures throughout the world carved the same symbol with little or no communication with each other.
The spiral is fundamental to nature, appearing on animals such as the snail, seashells, and occurs in natural phenomena such as whirlpools, hurricanes, tornadoes and spinning galaxies. The spiral has become a powerful symbol for creation and growth, used by many ancient cultures and religious traditions.Wear a spiral necklace to increase the energy of the stone with a positive charge to your auric field.

Benefits of Consuming Protein
What is protein?
Protein is a macronutrient found in food and is one of the body's building blocks for muscle, bone, skin, and other tissues. The ultimate fill-me-up food; it's satisfying and helps keep you feeling full for longer!
Why do I need protein?
Protein is made up of 20 amino acids; some of which are made by the body while others are essential through diet. Protein can help you shed those unwanted kilos by making you feel full and satisfied. It also helps preserve muscle and encourages fat burning, even after exercise.
How does protein affect weight loss?
Protein is the most satiating of all the macronutrients, helping you to feel full for longer and supporting your weight loss goals. Protein also helps your body preserve muscle during weight loss.
Why is protein important after working out?
Providing your body with protein after exercise gives muscles the fuel and nutrients needed for growth and repair. Research shows the best time to deliver protein is within 1 hour following exercise. A My Active Life protein bar or shake is the perfect after-work out fuel.
Why is snacking with protein beneficial?
While mindless snacking can expand your waistline, smart snacking may do just the opposite. Eating several small meals and snacks can help to control hunger and assist in weight loss. Snacking helps keep your metabolism in high gear, especially if the snacks are protein-rich!
Will a high protein diet affect intake of other important foods?
It is important to ensure that with a high protein diet you are still consuming a balanced diet with a wide variety of nutritious foods, plenty of fruit and vegetables plus a good intake of fluid every day

EU palm oil ban may hit UK's RM27 bil defence deal with M'sia
France, which wants to sell its own Rafale fighter jets, tries to outflank Britain by promising to oppose EU ban.
palm-oil-european-union-1PETALING JAYA: The European Union's (EU) impending ban on palm oil threatens to put an end to any possibility of Malaysia purchasing £5 billion (RM27.36 billion) worth of defence supplies from the UK.
The London-based The Sun newspaper reported today the proposed deals were being jeopardised by the prohibition against imports of palm oil from Malaysia.
It said France, which wants to sell its Rafale fighter aircraft to Kuala Lumpur, was trying to outflank Britain by promising to oppose the EU ban.
It said the two EU countries were both bidding to sell fighter jets and other materials to Malaysia. Each country would ensure some 20,000 domestic jobs by clinching the orders.
The report also said Plantation Industries and Commodities Minister Mah Siew Keong was scheduled to travel to UK this week to demand its support against the EU's proposed ban.
It said a rift had emerged in the British cabinet over Mah's visit, with UK Environment Secretary Michael Gove supporting the ban and Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson vowing to put jobs first by gaining the Malaysian contracts.
French President Emmanuel Jean-Michel Frédéric Macron was meanwhile working to persuade Malaysia to buy the Rafale jets instead of British planes, the report said.
In Britain, BAE Systems had sales of its Eurofighter Typhoon and weapons worth £4 billion (RM21.9 billion) at stake in the deal, it said.
Airbus UK was also bidding to supply communication satellite equipment worth up to £700 million (RM3.8 billion) while Italian company Leonardo could be affected as it wanted to sell its AW150 helicopters to Malaysia in a £300 million (RM1.64 billion) deal, the report said.
The EU Environment Committee voted to ban the use of palm oil in biodiesel last October.
This was endorsed by the EU's Industrial, Research and Energy Committee a month later. The European Parliament is expected to vote on the matter soon.
Malaysian leaders have said the country would retaliate by banning imports of European products.
Much of the palm oil sold to Europe is turned into biofuel.

At least 7 killed in Haiti tanker truck explosion
At least seven people were killed and some 30 others seriously burned Thursday in Haiti when a tanker truck transporting fuel for the Total oil company caught fire and exploded.
The accident took place in the town of Hinche, located some 110 kilometers (65 miles) northeast of the capital Port-au-Prince, Haiti's Civil Defense office said.
Witnesses told AFP that the tanker truck hit a wall and spilled fuel as it was preparing to unload at a Total service station.
The flammable liquid spread and caught fire when it reached vendors cooking food on outdoor grills. The flames quickly returned to the tanker, which set off the explosion.
Seven people died on the spot, and the burn victims were rushed to area hospitals and to Port-au-Prince for treatment, the Civil Defense office said.
"I saw people screaming as they were being burned alive, and no one could come to their aid," a motorcycle taxi driver told AFP.
Hinche, like many Haitian towns outside of the capital, has no fire department.
"Blue Helmet" soldiers with the United Nations stabilization force rushed to the scene and were able to contain the blaze.
Four homes neighboring the service station also went up in flames, and 22 vehicles were destroyed, local authorities said in a preliminary assessment.
The truck was an independent carrier that loaded up with Total oil and delivered it to service stations, but "did not belong to Total," a spokesman for the French oil company told AFP, correcting earlier reports.
The vehicle had been inspected and met all safety standards, the spokesman said.

Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge sees his future at Anfield and is prepared to fight for his place in Jürgen Klopp's team "week in, week out".
Sturridge scored two goals in nine Premier League appearances for the Reds in 2017-18 before being loaned out to West Brom for the second half of the season.
The 28-year-old England international failed to find the net for the Baggies in his six appearances and again struggled with a hamstring injury while at The Hawthorns.
However, Sturridge says pre-season is going to plan and he hopes to force his way back into Klopp's plans.
"I see myself staying at Liverpool, hopefully being part of the team week in, week out," he told the club's website.
GOAL!!! @DanielSturridge makes it four!! 0-4.— Liverpool FC (@LFC) July 7, 2018
Watch Chester vs Liverpool live via @LFCTV GO: https://t.co/MwNy34KVHd (available worldwide) pic.twitter.com/CLJIVZVd0F
"Pre-season is going well, so for me it's keeping my head down and building on that. I'm excited about the season ahead and it feels great to be back."
Sturridge, who joined Liverpool from Chelsea in January 2013, enjoyed his best season in a red shirt when he played alongside Raheem Sterling and Luis Suárez in 2013-14, scoring 21 goals in 29 league games.
Persistent injuries have made him something of a peripheral figure since Klopp took charge in October 2015, but, having scored twice in Liverpool's 7-0 friendly win over Chester on July 7, Sturridge feels in good shape ahead of the pre-season International Champions Cup tournament.
"I am feeling great and can't wait to get the season under way," he said.
"We have the tour to come where we face some great teams like Manchester United, Manchester City and [Borussia] Dortmund."

Have no fear, the iHeartRadio MMVAs are almost here. We're excited to announce another stacked lineup of performers and presenters taking the stage at the biggest party of the year. Find out who's officially coming and feel FOMO no mo'.
On August 26, expect to scream for performances by 5 Seconds of Summer, Kris Wu, and Meghan Trainor. The show will also feature Tyra Banks, Derek Hough, Jenni 'JWOWW' Farley, Sonequa Martin-Green, and Prince Michael Jackson as presenters.
These names will join the star-studded iHeartRadio MMVAs roster that includes previously announced acts Alessia Cara, Halsey, Marshmello featuring Anne-Marie.
It's been way more than 15 minutes of fame for 5 Seconds of Summer. Retiring from their pop-punk sound, the Australian mates have returned with a revitalized rock sound on their studio album Youngblood and respective record-breaking single "Youngblood." The boy band from down under will be hitting the stage for the first time ever at this year's MMVAs.
Former South Korean-Chinese boy bander, Kris Wu, stole hearts when he was a part of EXO, the internationally renowned Korean pop group. Now, he's making his iHeartRadio MMVAs debut as a solo artist with his rap and R&B heavy hitters. Hip hop maven, Travis Scott, collaborated with the Chinese artist on his first ever single "Deserve" so he's definitely one to watch.
Grammy Award-winner Meghan Trainor is best known for her catchy pop singles "All About The Bass," "Like I'm Gonna Lose You," and "No." Trainor is using her power for good by promoting feminism and body positivity—a message worth hearing on her new album Treat Myself, due out August 31. Her latest releases "No Excuses" and "Let You Be Right" show no signs that the artist is ready to slow down. Here's hoping we'll get a taste of more new music at this year's show.
Tyra Banks is the supermodel—now super-hyphenate—who claimed her fame on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, The Tyra Banks Show and most notably, America's Next Top Model. The producer-businesswoman-actor-author is taking a brief break from hosting on America's Got Talent to present at this year's iHeartRadio MMVAs.
Derek Hough is no stranger to the stage having starred in Dancing with the Stars, Footloose: The Musical, Hairspray Live!, and Nashville. The World of Dance judge comes to the iHeartRadio MMVAs to present—maybe he'll show off some quick dance moves while he's at it?
Known from her days as a GTLer on MTV's Jersey Shore, Jenni Farley also went on to star in the Jersey Shore spin-off Snooki & JWoww. Most recently, Farley took a break from being a social influencer and YouTuber to head to Miami with the gang for Jersey Shore: Family Vacation, which is returning for a second season this August.
Actor, writer, and producer Sonequa Martin-Green is best known for her roles on The Walking Dead, Once Upon a Time and New Girl. The TV star made major headlines when she earned the title of the first-ever black female lead on Star Trek, now she'll command this year's iHeartRadio MMVA stage as a presenter.
The eldest child of pop legend Michael Jackson has followed his father's footsteps by embarking in a career in entertainment. Jackson has preferred to be behind the screens as a director, producer, and screenwriter for his entrepreneurial endeavour, King's Son Productions. Switching it it up, Prince is moving on-screen to present at this year's show.
The 2018 iHeartRadio MMVAs go down Sunday, August 26 at 9E/6P on CTV and Much.

Very nice explanation Mark.
I spend a lot of time highlighting the importance of omega-3 fatty acids and downplaying their poly cohorts, omega-6s. Of course, I do this for good reason. Western dietary patterns and modern agricultural practices have made omega-3s harder to come by and blown any semblance of omega-3/omega-6 dietary balance out of the water. As maligned as omega-6s are these days, however, they're still essential fatty acids. Our bodies need them and can't produce them on their own – straight and simple. The problem comes when we mistake emphasizing the omega imbalance in modern diets with disparaging omega-6 entirely. Although the Primal Blueprint promotes a healthy fatty acid balance – one that parallels that of our hunter-gatherer ancestors – I still get questions about omega-6s, particularly reservations about the role arachidonic acid (part of the omega-6 fatty acid family) plays in the PB.
Dear Mark,
While I totally agree with the importance and value of meat/eggs and vegetables, minus all grains and added sugars…my question is about the arachidonic acid (AA) found mostly in meat and egg yolks. It has been demonized by many, Barry Sears, etc., as the cause of all inflammation in the body. Is that a concern for us on the PB plan?
Arachidonic acid is both a product of the body's natural linoleic acid conversion and, as the question notes, an existing (but modest) component of animal-based foods like egg yolk and meat – as well as human breastmilk. The particular beef with arachidonic acid revolves around its common conversion to omega-6 derived, "pro-inflammatory" eicosanoids, compounds (e.g. prostaglandins, prostacyclins, thromboxanes, leukotrienes, etc.) that play a role in the intercellular signaling that directs, among other key activities, neurological function and immune response – including inflammatory response. (Eicosanoids are also derived from EPA in the omega-3 family. These are considered anti-inflammatory.) Your proportion of omega-3 derived to omega-6 derived eicosanoids correlate for the most part with your dietary intake of omega-3s and 6s.
Already this correspondence shows that your omega-3 to omega-6 ratio has the most significant impact on your level of omega-6 derived eicosanoids and their inflammatory effects on your system. Consider that the average American has an omega ratio of 20:1, and that's the ball game. Studies emphasizing the detrimental effects of AA generally focus on the isolated supplementation of AA rather than the impact of supplement when balanced with a correspondingly high intake of omega-3. Research that does gauge the impact of AA supplementation with a high omega-3 intake shows no significant cardiovascular impact. Invited analysis and commentary for the British Journal of Nutrition (which published the original study), citing a number of studies that show little to no appreciable effect of AA on many cardiovascular health and immune function markers, concluded (PDF) that "moderately increased arachidonic acid intake [designated as up to 1.5 grams or 1500 milligrams] is probably harmless in healthy adults." Just for comparison sake, the average intake of dietary AA in the Western diet is estimated at 50-300 milligrams a day.
But there's more reason for reassurance. Much of people's AA content is likely determined by (and derived from) their high linoleic acid intake (in the forms of corn, soy and vegetable oils). Cut those out of your diet as the PB suggests, and you're already ahead. As for direct AA dietary sources, chicken eggs weigh in at about 390 mg and 100 gram meat servings generally between 35-100 mg dependent in part on fat content (organ meat reach into the 150 mg range). In the context of a healthy omega ratio, the Primal Blueprint's modest increase in direct dietary arachidonic acid doesn't present a novel dietary risk as some (like Sears) would have your believe. Next, consider that grass-fed beef is lower in AA than feedlot beef (PDF). (Remember, it's not just what you eat but what the cow/pig/chicken/duck/game animal/etc. on your plate ate before it got there. Stuff animals with omega-6 loaded feed and you'll get meat loaded with forms of omega-6.) Add to this the protective (antioxidant, anti-cancer, pro-cardiovascular health) effects of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) present in grass fed meats and dairy – up to five times the CLA as you'll find in grain-fed animals.
Next, there are the other mitigating factors of a Primal Blueprint diet. A healthy, nutrient-rich diet also has some effect on the prevalence of AA from linoleic acid conversion. Linoleic acid, the "parent" omega-6 compound, is broken down by the body into gamma-linoleic acid (GLA). From there, the conversion leads toward either arachidonic acid or dihomogamma-linolenic acid (DGLA), which is actually anti-inflammatory. Minerals like magnesium and zinc and vitamins like C, B3 and B6 appear to encourage the body to redirect GLA conversion toward DGLA instead of AA. Research shows it's a more complicated picture – inflammatory and anti-inflammatory.
And if you're a tea drinker, know that all the steeping and sipping curbs the metabolism of arachidonic acid.
Finally, as I mentioned before, it's important to keep in mind that arachidonic acid isn't the bogeyman that it's made out to be. It comprises a necessary component of cellular membrane structure and supports everything from dermal integrity to muscular growth and repair. It's no accident that arachidonic acid is present in breast milk. AA plays a critical role in brain development, and a whole host of research comparing AA-supplemented formula with non-supplemented formula underscores this connection. Likewise, AA supports continuing role in neurological health as demonstrated in studies involving older adults. When it comes to arachidonic acid, the general principle holds: it's all about overall balance and healthfulness.
Thanks as always for the great questions and comments, and keep 'em coming!

Very nice explanation Mark.
Great information. The typical Western diet is the recipe for inflammation from many angles. The terrible omega-6/omega-3 ratio is just another part of the catastrophy (and perhaps a major part of it).
It's my personal belief that a lot of the minor substances that get blamed for inflammation (and thus heart disease, etc.) are less harmful when you switch to a more natural diet like the Paleo diet. Basically, if the bulk of your diet is from natural, whole foods and includes plenty of quality protein and saturated fats, a lot of so-called "harmful" substances are essentially neutralized. It's when you introduce these foods into a body riddled with damaged fats, HFCS, and MSG that they get the chance to wreak major havoc.
I agree. One reason I think saturated fat has such a bad rep is because people are looking at its effects in the context of a diet rich in grains and sugars, which can make a good food turn bad.
Great post Mark.
This topic isn't easy to put into a post, but nicely done!
I've always known that the ratio balance between O3 and O6 is the key, and therefore I use fish oil. But I don't use fish oil indiscriminately.
As often as I can, I eat grass-fed beef and pasture-raised animals. But I don't do this all the time as access and economics don't always favor them on the dinner plate every night. So on those days I eat traditional meats, I supplement with a few tablespoon of fish oil.
Having a diet that's abundant in greens and various colors, I'm confident that the AA conversions leave a healthier end product in the body. Whenever the meat/fat quality is in question (dinning out, etc.), down the hatch goes some fish oil.
It's not only pigs, chickens, cows, etc. that get fed on corn. I learned that farmed tilapia (which is most of it) is corn-fed, meaning its Omega-6 to Omega-3 balance is way off. Too bad, since it's so inexpensive. I suspect that other farmed fish like salmon is the same way. That might be a good follow up topic, Mark.
He's touched on this several times. Just do a search up top.
Salmon, bass, carp, catfish, cod etc… If it doesn't say wild, assume it's grain fed.
I'm not sure what the correct ratio is between 3 & 6. Could someone fill me in with this info. Since I've been strict on PB eating, I want to understand how much O3 I should take. I just purchased 3-6-9 and now I'm thinking that was a mistake. Thx
gigi, 3-6-9 oils are a good concept, but mostly for marketing.
Assuming we eat absolutely no fat in other areas of our diet, then this product would be very useful. But since the food industry provides an abundance of O6 (and O9), it's better to spend your money on a quality O3 supplement.
I became concerned with AA because of my rather severe osteoarthritis. I was determined to get off NSAIDs and pain meds. I take fish oil and eat a lot of wild salmon and other fish. I eat only egg whites and beef is always grass fed–although I've been relying on bison lately.
I have been off all meds for a couple of years from eating this way. A few months ago, my doctor checked my CRP (which is supposed to be a better indicator of heart issues than cholesterol). With 1.0 as the low end of the lab range, mine was 0.9–and that's measuring inflammation throughout the body. My doctor was amazed; considering my arthritis, he expected a number at least at mid-range.
Thanks for posting your experience – I find it very helpful.
Thanks for the explanation and helpful answer to my question. I feel relieved to know that the PB creates the balance needed. I am following PB guidelines for healthy eating and take fish oil daily but no Omega 6 supplements, like evening primrose oil, or combination essential fatty acids. No need to add any O6's!
Thanks again for the great info.
What's with the whole egg whites thing? I understand we're to cook those, but not the yolk. Yet "in the wild" how many animals cook the white before sucking and egg down?
And Anita (or anyone), can you clue me in on what's wrong with the yolk?
My deal here is I eat 2-4 raw eggs a day in my shake that I drink each morning. Yea, I know dairy isn't exatly paleo, but it's raw milk, usually goat, and there's too much evidence (Westin Price Foundation) that says it's great for you…
Try using Coconut milk instead of dairy. Works great. My shake is coconut milk,an egg, pumpkin, a little vanilla and sometimes 1/2 banana.
There's nothing wrong with dairy unless you have an intolerance to either milk sugar (lactose) or milk protein (casein, maybe whey?). Which I assume you don't, unless you have mysterious digestive problems after consuming it. So, feel free to drink up – milk is probably the only drink that truly improves on water, thanks to its high fat, protein, vitamin, and mineral content. It has a fair amount of sugar (the aforementioned lactose) but I think it's worth including in a daily allowance of carbs. Coconut milk is perfectly fine, too, but even compared to raw, pasture-fed milk, it's more expensive and, IMO, not really worth the trouble. As for paleo concerns, I know plenty of PB eaters are fans of olive oil, for example, which is fine to eat but certainly not paleo. Olives have been eaten for no longer than 10k years, if that, and they probably weren't pressed for oil until a long time after that. So a few [healthy] deviations from purely paleolithic eating is fine, and nearly impossible to avoid anyway.
As for eggs: there's nothing "wrong" with the yolk; in fact, the white contains little else besides protein, while the yolk contains a cornucopia of vitamins and minerals. It also contains all of the fat (including AA) and cholesterol in the egg, which bothers some people – obviously, people who probably have never heard of (and don't care about) primal eating and would like you to stuff yourself with grains. The reason you're supposed to cook the egg is because it increases absorption of protein and some other stuff, but that's only if it's your main source of those nutrients. A few raw eggs per day are a perfectly fine addition to a good diet, I think.
A GI doc once told me that the whey proteins lactalbumin and lactoglobulin are the most common dairy allergens.
What I think is great is there are actually supplements out there that have AA in them to PROMOTE inflammation and give the appearance of a more ripped, vascular look in the bodybuilding world.
One such product is called "Hemodraulix" by supplement maker Axis Labs.
They actually put AA in their formula along with Arginine to promote bloodflow + inflammation, increasing the look of your veins. Crazy.
I have been supplementing AA, via Hemodraulix, for years now. Granted, I also take Omega 3 supplements as well. Still, I never had any idea the AA might be harmful. I have a physical every year, and my doctor knows everything I take, and I have been perfectly healthy despite what alarmists like Dr. Sears might say. I have cycled the Hemodraulix because I noticed an unexpected effect. I had anticipated being extremely sore after workouts supplemented with AA. In my case, I actually found myself not sore at all, even after the most intense of workouts. That meant that I didn't run into a formerly common problem for me. That being that I would still be sore days after a workout which considerably decreased my desire to workout as often as needed. I have no doubt that the AA supplementation has made all of the difference for me.
I'd also add that AA is only a precursor molecule for other immune-regulating molecules, such as prostagladins and leukotrienes. Some prostagladins are pro-inflammatory while others are anti-inflammatory and down regulate the immune system, therefore it depends what your body converts the AA to.
It's also worth noting that inflammation, like cardio, is only bad when it's chronic.* The occasional inflammatory response to injury is necessary and part of the body's healing system.
*Comparisons end there, though. Cardio is not necessary!
Hey Mark,
have you heared of Prof. Brian Peskin. He is researching on fatty acids. Especially PUFAs. He has great articles and especially videos and presentation on this stuff. Well worth checking it out: http://www.brianpeskin.com/video-audio.html
and here: http://progressive.uvault.com/pd1005/A4M091/SS3/player.HTM
Yes, Brian Peskin has me really thinking about this topic; turned upside down. Basically he says we get too much DAMAGED omega 6, which leads to cell wall damage (decreased cellular oxygenation, leads to cancer per Warburg) and, eventually cancer or other diseases. To counter all this we need pure, organic, undamaged omega 6 in a 2:1 ratio to omega 3. He stresses we don't want to take the derivatives of these EFA's because the body only converts, at most, 5% of the EFA to derivatives based on need. So, if you need the derivative your body will convert, and if you don't need it but supplement with derivatives you are taking a pharmacological overdose.
He's very controversial, but he does seem to have his science in order. His marketing, and arrogance get in his way. He tells you in the book how to mix your own oil, but does appear to be linked to a supplement company, which makes one wary; however, Mark, the Eades, and any variety of people I generally trust also sell books, supplements etc.
Anyway, I'm reading his books and he supports everything he says. I wish I could hear from a real scientist, who has read Brian's stuff, and could really debate its merit. The only stuff I can find seems to be disparaging remarks about Brian's personality or complete dismissal without reading, carefully, his work.
Brian Peskin IS a real scientist and only pharmaceutical companies including sites like quackwatch.com made him very "controversial".
Why?… because what Brian Peskin has to say is absolute right. People are starting to look after themselves more, which is less profit for the pharmaceutical companies.
I have communicated with Brian Peskin via email many times and he had ALWAYS been there to answer any questions I may have.
Because of Brian Peskin, I am able to maintain 7 to 8% bodyfat all-year-round and faster recovery ability due to PEO (Parent Essential Oil).
As for marketing and promoting supplements, Mark Sisson does the same with his book by refering it as "Primal Blueprint" etc. No different. We all have to make a living somehow.
I tend to lean more toward Brian Peskin to confirm a theory since many other writers including Mark Sission expressed their opinion or experience NOT scientific fact.
Have you found out any more insight on Brian Peskin or a scientist to test his claims? I'm very interested in this subject myself. Thanks
so are all omega 6 fats created equal? aka should I watch my pasture raised turkey fat in take as well as my nut intake or are those more essential?
Actually, arachidonic acid may have little to do with ones intake of linoleic acid. All the same then, it probably isnt the boogieman that its sometimes made out to be.
Increasing dietary linoleic acid does not increase tissue arachidonic acid content in adults consuming Western-type diets: a systematic review.
Linoleic acid is associated with lower long-chain n–6 and n–3 fatty acids in red blood cell lipids of Canadian pregnant women.
Dear Mark, I would like to begin by saying how helpful your article is. It amazes me how much information there is about arachidonic acid (AA) and it's many actual and potential influences on our health. It further wows me at how every discipline looks at something slightly different. As an aspiring bodybuilder with asthma I'm concerned about the association of AA with the inflammatory response. To make a long story shorter, I am recovering from a severe case of lung inflammation attributed to several bodybuilding supplements along with cheap, farm-raised tilapia, and many eggs and egg whites. I would like to go into some detail, however I'm not sure what space is allocated here for replies. Because of this I will stick to the facts. I currently take theophylline by mouth daily,a Proair inhaler for acute asthmaticus, and a corticosteroid inhaler Symbicort to prevent attacks. The supplements I was taking are as followed: L-arginine, a Nitric oxide booster, and a post-exercise supplement pack of 8 different capsules. I was on this cocktail for fourteen to seventeen days. During which time I was out of my Symbicort inhaler for one month. Needless to say, this was a big no no. I should have done some research on these chemicals and food before beginning such an intense regimen. I did go to my doctor and was given a corticosteroid injection and some samples of Advair to get me by until my Symbicort came in. I did not mention any of the supplements I had been taking to my doctor out of shame. I believe that this response was the sum of all these factors. The inflammation also caused some pre-hypertensive blood pressure readings. I've never had any bP issues in the past, even with a history of asthma from three months of age. On the positive side, I'm back on the corticosteroid and I'm getting better day by day. What concerns me now is when I'm fully recovered, how can I avoid this from happening again? Afterall asthmatics are more susceptible to hypersensitivity reactions than other people. By the way, those supplements went into the garbage days ago. Our body makes all of that it needs anyway. Would a good start begin by going to grass-fed meats, chicken, and eggs? And as far as fish, make sure it's wild and not farm-raised? And finally, will these foods be safe eaten in the quantities that bodybuilding demands?
Maybe find a really good holistic M.D. you can trust and work with him/her?
Good luck!
Unquestionably believe that which you said. Your favorite reason seemed to
be on the internet the simplest thing to be aware
of. I say to you, I definitely get annoyed while people consider worries that they plainly don't know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top as well as defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people can take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thanks
What about the effects of AA on the prostate?
Its oxidized fatty acids that cause oxidative stress to the cells, which leads to cancer.
Lipid peroxidation.
Like your unequivocal reply.
Botchy explanation by someone who doesn't understand the science.
Ratio in nature? Yea right!
Don't touch anything processed and you wont have to worry about lipid peroxides from these foods; this includes fish oil.
Like your unequivocal reply.
My complaint is the nightmare headaches I started getting after eating eggs. I love eggs and miss them so much. The headaches last 2 days are tor-tu-ous. I was wondering if the eggs from chickens fed completely non-grain sources would cause the headaches.
"Nightmare" headaches can be caused by many things: http://www.ctds.info/magnesium-migraine.html
I love your column and read it regularly, but his is a weak point in your argument and you should work on it:
" Linoleic acid, the "parent" omega-6 compound, is broken down by the body into gamma-linoleic acid (GLA). From there, the conversion leads toward either arachidonic acid or dihomogamma-linolenic acid (DGLA), which is actually anti-inflammatory. Minerals like magnesium and zinc and vitamins like C, B3 and B6 appear to encourage the body to redirect GLA conversion toward DGLA instead of AA.
That reads as though people SHOULD avoid it, at least to my eye.
How come nobody in the Primal community has yet pointed out (that I've seen) that aspirin literally shuts down the process of making inflammatory prostaglandins, and destroys the substrates, while other NSAIDS just temporarily and reversibly give you a break from that pathway? It's pretty technical, but if you search for some lecture notes from a pharmacy class…. try, "Welch AA Cascade" or "The Arachidonic Acid Cascade" It's a PDF…. you will learn more about inflammation than you wanted to know.
I'll let each person decide for themselves how they will handle the inflammation issue. The point is, you should feel well and good every day, not like a truck ran over you.
Eating fish is primal and makes everybody happy.
I suffer from Samter's Triad which comprises asthma, nasal polyps and aspirin allergy. The root of this condition is believed to be a disturbance in the process of metabolizing AA. The natural aspirins in food (salicylates) depress COX1 and COX2 enzymatic function. These are part of the arachidonic acid cascade and if they don't function properly, a 'sideways shunt' of the AA happens that results in more inflammatory metabolites.
When the AA cascade is functioning properly you won't have any symptoms of increased inflammation. However it is likely that supplementing with Aa enables the inflammatory route to some extent. Yes you can offset this by increasing with omega 3 oils (which compete with AA for certain rate limiting enzymes).
The very worst diet I can consume is the Paleo diet which is very high in both AA and salicylates. Treat AA with respect. It is at the heart of the inflammatory system. If you are healthy, don't mess with it. Eat more oily fish and reduce poisonous vegitable oils but that's eat.
Good health!
I would like to add an amendment to my previous comments. There is no scientific evidence that a low or non salicylate diet has any positive effect on Samters Triad. If you are suffering from this horrible condition then you don't have to avoid sals in food (other than to manage itching). By restricting your diet in this way you are avoiding many delicious and healthy foods with (probably) no benefit to the underlying AERD.
I was wrong about that. :/
Good health.
Should one go on a low salicylate diet and avoid egg yolks as well, according to what you are saying? This is interesting.
I read on the Skeptical Nutritionist website that conversion of linoleic to AA is tightly controlled by enzyme availability. This would make sense because the body regulates most processes. Also, there was an experiment where people were dosed with large amounts of AA and nothing bad happened. I'm currently reading an article about how AA and linoleic are cytoprotective; directly converted by stomach mucosa "Fatty acid-mediated gastroprotection – Mandel KG". There was also a study done in Mexico that showed stomach cancer was related to linoleic insufficiency..Unfortunately, stomach protection is based on the same inflammatory prostaglandins, which is why NSAIDs are so bad.
I also don't believe any of the omega3 studies done on rats, due to rats eating 6 times what we eat, they deal with most micronutrients as toxins. If a rat has high omega3, it may just be tolerating the toxicity of it. It may not be an example to humanity.
There is a reason why there are no real studies showing that linoleic causes inflammation, is because we have a high tolerance for what you would call " imbalance". "Effect of dietary linoleic acid on markers of inflammation in healthy persons Johnson GH"
Have you considered including scientific articles, or do you only do it when it suits you?
If you have aspirin sensitive asthma be *very* careful about increasing your omega 3 intake at the expense of AA. Fish oil supplementation has put me in hospital twice! It is a gross over simplification to categorize all omega 6 metabolites as proinflammatory and all omega 3 as anti inflammatory. They work together in a extremely complex orchestration of biochemical signalling, genetics and nutrition.
If you're getting plenty of linoleic acid in your diet, your body can make arachidonic acid. First, linoleic acid, abundant in vegetable oils, is broken down into gamma-linolenic acid.The University of Maryland Medical Center also notes that GLA is also found in evening primrose oil, black current seed oil, and borage oil.The University of Maryland Medical Center and the American Heart Association both say that arachidonic acid promotes inflammation,
This article needs updating after more recent studies on its inflammatory role.
Hi Mark,
I am wondering what is your reference source on "the average intake of AA in the western diet is estimated at 50-300 milligrams a day"? Would you mind sharing the reference(s)? Thank you very much.
I've been perusing arachidonic acid research for more than two years. As far as I can tell, only one researcher has reduced arachidonic acid intake in conjunction with omega-3 supplementation to achieve therapeutic benefit. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12548439
Here's what Norwegian animal science researcher Anna Haug says about trying to balance the omega- 3/6 ratio by supplementing with omega-3. "Combining reduction of the intake of AA with enhancement of the intake of oleic acid will, moreover, also be a better strategy for reducing the total extent of in vivo lipid peroxidation, rather than adding more EPA (with 5 double bonds) and DHA (with 6 double bonds) to a diet already over-abundant in arachidonic acid and linoleic acid. A reduction of the dietary ratio of total polyunsaturated fatty acids to oleic acid will not only make plasma lipoproteins less vulnerable to oxidation, but must also be expected to lead to reduction of the rate of formation of mutagenic aldehydes that arise as secondary products of lipid peroxidation…" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2875212/
For what it's worth, here is a comment I posted on a vegan website that details my experience with excessive arachidonic acid intake. https://medium.com/@davebnep/dr-kassam-c5da99b514ad

Deciding what is the best time of year to travel to Europe for your holiday can be one of the hardest parts of the decision-making process, particularly for the first-time traveller. There's no single 'best' time to visit Europe as every traveller's preferences are different but there are a number of things to consider before you book yourself on that flight.
Best time to visit Europe weather-wise
The kind of weather you'd like to experience is going to be a major consideration of your holiday planning. Are you hoping to experience a white Christmas in Europe or the beautiful snowy scenes of a northern winter or would you prefer to travel when it's warmer and you can enjoy the longer daylight hours?
Your response to this question should help you to decide when the best time to travel to Europe from Australia is for you.
The best season to go to Europe is going to be different for everyone so I've listed a few of the pros and cons of travelling in the various seasons below.
Pros and cons of travelling to Europe in winter
If a European winter experience is what you're after, some of the pros of travelling at this time (December/January/February) include missing the Australian summer, experiencing scenery and Christmas food and traditions totally different to what we are used to at home (in Australia) such as the amazing Christmas markets.
Mid-December through to the end of February - and sometimes even into March - is definitely the best time to visit Europe for snow.
Every year it seems that Europe's Christmas markets become more and more popular with tourists and they are a wonderful reason to visit Europe at this time of year. Many markets open from late November until just after Christmas, with some trading until early January.
Of course you also have to consider the downsides - shorter daylight hours, some attractions (particularly in rural areas) may be closed for the winter, heavy snowfalls can cause transport delays and make driving difficult, and there's the cold weather and bulky clothing that you'll need to take to contemplate, too.
Tour and cruise companies also tend to have a reduced number of itineraries on offer during the colder months, however train services still run frequently.
Further reading: Tips for travelling to Europe in winter
Christmas market in Tallinn
Christmas markets are a major reason for tourists to visit Europe in winter time. This one is in the Estonian capital, Tallinn.
Pros and cons of travelling to Europe in summer
During the European summer there's a pretty fair chance you'll enjoy some warm weather. Southern countries like Spain, Italy and Greece (and the south of France) tend to have much higher temperatures than central and northern Europe, but there can be some surprises.
I have experienced temperatures well above 35 degrees Celcius on numerous occasions in parts of Europe that we don't normally associate with having high summer temperatures (Austria and northern France, for example).
I've often joked that the summer-loving Europeans should pay me to travel to Europe as I always tend to attract the hot weather! August is usually the hottest month in Europe - I mostly travel in June and July but have experienced some really hot days during those months.
If you are visiting one of the southern regions, temperatures can be stifling hot – so check in advance that your accommodation has air-conditioning.
Another advantage of travelling during the European summer (June/July/August) is the longer daylight hours - with daylight saving it is generally light until at least 9.30pm, and much later in the Scandinavian countries.
Timetables for ferries, lake cruises, cable car rides, etc are also generally expanded over the summer months.
I also find there's an air of vitality in Europe during summer - with window boxes bursting with colour, the freshest produce available at the markets, and Europeans out and about and enjoying the weather.
During the summer months, motorways can also be extremely busy, particularly on weekends, as European holiday-makers head off on their annual break.
Flower boxes in Riquewihr
Colourful flower boxes are at their blooming best during the European summer.
What about Autumn (Fall) and Spring?
Autumn and Spring are popular times to travel for those who don't enjoy extreme temperatures. Early Autumn and Late Spring, in particular, can still offer warmish days without being either too hot or too cold so this is considered by many to be the best time to visit southern Europe.
No matter how carefully you plan, though, unseasonal weather can occur. Major flooding in Germany, Hungary and Poland in June 2013 caused havoc and upset lots of holiday plans, not to mention livelihoods.
On the other hand, expected snow falls can fail to eventuate as early in the season as normal - your snowy Christmas might turn out to be more of a 'slushy' one!
The table below shows the (approximate) average monthly temperatures for some of Europe's major cities.
Jan Mar May Jul Sep Nov
Vienna 1°C 9°C 19°C 26°C 20°C 7°C
Rome 12°C 15°C 22°C 29°C 26°C 17°C
Zurich -1°C 5°C 13°C 18°C 14°C 4°C
Paris 3.5°C 10°C 15°C 19°C 16°C 12°C
Berlin -0.5°C 4°C 14°C 19°C 15°C 5°C
London 5°C 10°C 17°C 22°C 19°C 5°C
If the weather isn't the major factor in determining the best time to travel for you to travel to Europe, there are some other considerations to keep in mind.
Special events
If you are heading to Europe to attend a special function like a wedding or are hoping to catch a major event such as the Tour de France or the tulip display at Holland's Keukenhof Gardens, you are obviously going to have to be in a particular place on a specific date.
Keep in mind that when major events occur (like the Olympic Games or Rugby World Cup, for example), accommodation, flights and other travel services can be stretched to the limit - and prices can increase significantly.
Tour de France
Major events can have a big impact on the price and availability of accommodation and flights.
If you do prefer to travel when it's warmer, be wary of travelling during August. This is the month when many Europeans take their summer holidays (a lot of professional offices in Paris actually close for the whole month!) so wherever you go it is likely to be extremely busy.
If you don't like crowds, August is definitely NOT the best month to visit Europe.
Major sights and attractions can be a nightmare during August with queues of two hours or more just to buy entry tickets not unheard of!! I always recommend pre-purchasing tickets to attractions you know you will definitely visit, but particularly so if visiting in the peak summer months.
The late European spring (April/May) and early autumn (September/October) can make a good alternative. If you're not too fussed about high temperatures and definitely want to avoid the crowds, these are good months to visit to Europe.
Another factor to consider when planning when you are going to visit is price. I've previously written about some of the tips you should know before you book your flight to Europe, and one of these is that travelling just outside of the airline's 'peak' season can save you a few hundred dollars.
By departing Australia in May, for example, you might save yourself some money by missing the June 'peak' fares and still be able to enjoy the warmer early-summer days in Europe.
To start planning your travel to Europe, order complimentary European travel brochures and read all my tips for planning a holiday to Europe here.
What other factors do you consider when deciding what is the best time to visit Europe? I'd love to hear your comments below.

Solar power and battery storage play an increasing role across Europe. PV Europe took a look behind the scenes at one of Germany's solar pv wholesale suppliers, EWS, active in Denmark. We talked to CEO Kai Lippert who leads the track northward, ho!
Cosy warmth from the air, while others turn on their central heating. The WPL 15 ACS air-water heat pump, designed for outdoor use, is still exceptionally efficient even at temperatures well below freezing.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush on Friday signed landmark $700 billion legislation to help lenders unload distressed real estate assets off their books, a move aimed at curbing a spreading financial crisis.
The White House confirmed that Bush had signed the bill, which was approved earlier by the House of Representatives, just before he was due to leave for a political fund-raiser in St. Louis and a weekend stay at his Texas ranch.

Hi, thank you for checking us out. If you're here, you probably love and obsess over the game as much as I do. And who can blame us? Golf takes us to some amazing places, creates memorable experiences and constantly challenges us to be better.
So when my co-founders and I looked to connect with more golfers outside of our group, we were disappointed with our options. Golf forums were pretty exclusive and tailored for advanced players. Mainstream sites focused on professional tour players. And social networks really centered the conversation around influencers rather than a community. There wasn't a site that was championing the everyday golfer and saying here is a place dedicated to you. So we built Dormied - a social community for golfers of all skill levels to connect, share and have some fun together. Would like to hear what you think.

Nibali 5th in the GC after the first short climbs
Muscat, February 14h, 2018 – After the second stage, with the first short ascents, the General Classification begins to take shape. On the Al Bustan finish line the Australian Nathan Haas took the victory ahead a small group of about fifteen riders.
Good performance by Gorka Izagirre and Vincenzo Nibali arrived respectively 7th and 13th. In the GC, Haas is the new race leader with the captain Nibali in 5th position and Izaguirre 12th both with a 10" gap from the Australian rider.
"It was a quiet stage – says Gorka – and it came on as expected only in the finale. We have seen the riders who aim to win this Tour of Oman and among them me and Vincenzo. To see the winner, however, we have to wait for the stage which arrives on the Green Mountain ".
"I'm happy with my race – says Vincenzo Nibali – we finally made a bit of a climb and I could see how I am and I can say that the sensations are good. We took the last fast ascent and the peloton immediately broke and in the end we arrived in a few ".
Sports director Gorazd Štangelj comments the stage: "At one point we collaborated to catch back the breakaway and then Gorka and Vincenzo dueled with the best. I am satisfied with the result and the fact that both are in front of the GC ".
Tomorrow the third stage of 180 km with a wavy route and a nervous final with a steep part of one kilometer to 9.6% with 8 km to go.

Indianapolis, IN August 21, 2007 Navis Pack & Ship, a packing and shipping franchise that specializes in fragile and valuable art and antiques, has its hands, trucks and warehouse full this week packing items auctioned by the Sisters of Providence and Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College.
Navis Pack & Ship was the exclusive shipper on-site at the four-day auction, which attracted a large on-site audience to Terre Haute, Indiana, as well as a worldwide audience of online and telephone bidders. Buyers contracted with Navis to pack and ship some of the auctions biggest and most valuable items, including an 8 x 12 foot oil painting, a painting attributed to Reubens, a Lalique vase, 36 cloisonn vases valued at $19000, nun dolls valued from $100 to $5000, an 8 x 4-foot library table, other pieces of furniture; and several rare 200-year-old fore-edge painted books. Fore-edge books have a hidden painting on the page edges that can only be seen when the pages are fanned. In addition, Navis is consulting on the packing and shipping of a huge marble statue mounted on a 36-inch pedestal over a marble floor.
Auctions represent a big and growing market for Navis since buyers usually must make their own shipping arrangements and meet strict deadlines for removing their purchases. Finding a shipper with the expertise to safely pack and transport extremely fragile or irreplaceable goods can be a difficult and time-consuming process. Auctioneers or appraisers often help by recommending experienced shippers.
In the weeks leading up to the event, Navis Pack & Ship provided dozens of shipping quotes to people planning to bid. Working from the photos and descriptions, Navis personnel prepared individual estimates that took into account the fragility of each item, its value and destination.
As an alumna of the college, Navis Pack & Ship franchise operator Susan Craven had a special interest in this event. Her business has been the exclusive shipper for several other notable auctions in the Indianapolis area, including Indy racing team auctions, Winona Hospital and the Hilbert estate. Navis Pack & Ship also is the recommended shipper for Antique Helper, a fine arts and antique on-line auction company based in Indianapolis.

Navis Logistics Network has been franchising since 1984 with a retail entity, Handle With Care Packaging Store, which was founded in 1980.

This is an uncrowded, $34 billion market expected to grow to more that $50 billion in the next four to five years. Our business model focuses on (but is not limited to) 100-200 pound items with total logistics solutions: door-to-door delivery, packaging, and full insurance coverage. It includes small residential and commercial moves. Potential customers need cost -efficient ways to ship manufactured technical, scientific, and medical equipment; computers; antiques, and fine art.

We can't actually ship Isle of Jura 10 Year Old to you in United States at the moment. We're working on a solution.
Don't need to send to the United States?Change your shipping destination - we can probably ship to you!
Part of the new core range of whiskies launched by Isle of Jura in early 2018, this 10 year old expression takes the place of Jura Origin. It's initially aged in American white oak bourbon barrels before enjoying a finishing period in Oloroso sherry butts and bottled at 40% ABV. It has the subtle smoke characteristic of Jura's excellent Island single malts, with robust vanilla and an intense kick of sherried sweetness underneath.
Nose: Honeyed barley and peaches in syrup, with light wafts of fragrant wood smoke.
Palate: Oily and subtly spicy at first, before notes of earthy vanilla pod and chocolate-covered raisins develop.
Finish: Another touch of smoke rounds things off.

Way to much e150 colouring in this whisky and lacks complexity, I bought this when it was discounted and wouldnt be happy to pay the full price.
1st October 2019
Pulled up to 3 stars by the fact that, at face value, it's pretty damn nice. This would be worth a good four (or more) if tasted in isolation. But given the whisky this replaces...it's lucky to get any stars at all.The honey/raisin sweetness threaded with woodsmoke is still there, and it would take a lot of doing to ruin that, but...well, have you ever made a sauce with molasses or black treacle in it, then tasted it and thought "just a BIT more"? Then you stir more in but you wish you'd left it be? Although it's now fine, it's just darker and richer than you want - how it was would have been better.A step down from where it was. Good, but "best ever, absolute favourite"? Definitely not.
23rd June 2019
What have they done - way too dark for an islay??Theres a still a hint of the old jura taste but now hidden in a sea of dark oak and coffee
11th April 2019
Smells awful but terrific smooth taste top draw
6th April 2019
Got this at Tesco for £25 and happy for the price. Nothing overly spectacular but a nice entry level whisky. Not got the kick of other whiskies but their is a honey taste initially and then a string raisin/date taste to it with a hint of caramel. A pleasant drink but don't expect it to blow your socks off.
2nd February 2019
Whilst not a deep and complex whiskey, there is a lot going on and most of what's going on is pretty tasty, albeit not particularly well balanced. Tinned lychees with a hint of honey and some floral, almost violet, notes on the nose. Pleasant oily mouthfeel reveals a taste of chocolate raisins (I know its plagiarism but it's true!) mixed with apricots before an aftertaste of chilli white chocolate leaves the tongue and lips a-tingling! It's a pleasant dram but, would I buy it in the face of better balanced competition? Well, I wouldn't rule it out but, more often than not, I would be looking elsewhere!
10th July 2018
Not all bad but very thin mouth feel and just tastes like is lacking a punch on delivery. Was a big fan of their superstition so can not understand the change. They are clearly charging considerably more for a noticeably inferior product.
14th May 2018
Hurrah! Now this is much better than the old version. Smoke, fruit and a little caramel. Light, pleasant and very well balanced. I'm a fan again.
12th May 2018
