Influenza is a respiratory disease of high importance due to its fast transmission and zoonotic potential.
Alternative names: Porcine Influenza, influenza typeA
Porcine influenza is caused by several Influenza Type A viruses closely related, characterized to have the ability to change the antigenic structure and create new strains.
Each serotype is identified through surface proteins called "H" and "N". The three most common serotypes affecting pigs are H1 N1, H1 N2 and H3 N2. There are also different strains of these serotypes that have different pathogenicity and no crossed protection.
The incubation period is very short, 12 to 48 hours. It affects the respiratory system. The virus can infect a farm in few days. This high transmission is almost the main feature helping in the diagnosis.
There are three important periods in which the disease can cause infertility, and all of them are caused by fever and its consequences depending on the pregnancy stage because the virus is not systemic and does not cross the placenta. Thus, fetuses are not infected.
- First, if sows get ill during the 21 first days of the pregnancy, the virus can prevent implantation of developing embryos, which produces and increase in returns at day 21. If gestation is already established 14 to 16 days after insemination there will be late returns.
- Second, if the infection occurs during the first 5 weeks of gestation, embryo death and reabsorption can occur, which lead to pseudo-pregnant and empty sows. Litter size can be affected at this time due to the embryo reabsorption. By the end of gestation, there will be abortions or late mummified piglets at farrowing.
- The third main effect is on the boars, in which increased body temperature can affect semen and reduce fertility during 4 to 5 weeks.
In big farms, influenza can end up being endemic with intermittent outbreaks of clinical symptoms and infertility. Different strains can consecutively affect one farm.
- The elevated temperature may cause abortions.
- General coughing.
- Pneumonia.
When the virus enters a farm for the first time, 2 or 3 animals show symptoms of disease during the first 2 days, followed by:
- A quick outbreak in which almost all animals stop eating, and appear clinically very ill at 2 to 3 days of the virus introduction.
- The effects on the reproductive system are produced after the onset of the respiratory disease with coughing, pneumonia, fever and loss of appetite.
- Acute respiratory distress without subjacent infections persists during 7 to 10 days (depending on how long contact between groups lasts).
In the rest of the farm:
- Quick onset of the acute disease in sows.
- Coughing and pneumonia which quickly disseminates.
- Animals go back to normality in 7 to 10 days.
- Late returns after weaning.
- Increase of returns at 21 days.
- Increase of returns outside the normal cycle.
- Increase in the number of sows that arrive empty to the farrowing area.
- Increase in the number of abortions, especially during the last 3 months of pregnancy.
- Increase in the number of stillborns and slow farrowings.
- Occasionally an increase in the number of mummies.
Lactating piglets
- Symptoms in piglets are rare, unless the disease enters the farm for the first time.
- Colostrum can prevent the infection during the lactation period.
- Coughing
- Pneumonia.
- Fever.
Weaners and growers
Acute Disease
- Usually pigs suddenly lie down.
- Difficulty to breath.
- Severe coughing.
- Most of the animals look like dying, but survive without a treatment, unless the farm already has a respiratory problem.
- Influenza causes severe pneumonia on its own, but when combined with other infections, such as Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae and PRRS, a chronic severe respiratory syndrome difficult to treat can occur. Severely affected pigs must be treated with antibiotics to prevent the development of secondary pneumonia.
Endemic Disease
- In this case, the virus stays in the farm, affecting small groups of pigs, mainly weaned pigs. The virus can be responsible for persistent respiratory diseases, having symptoms similar to the acute disease, but less severe.
Causes / Contributing Factors
Influenza can be introduced by:
- Infected people.
- Carrier pigs.
- Birds, mainly aquatic birds are reservoirs of the disease.
- Secondary bacterial infections.
- PRRS co-infections.
- Temperature fluctuations.
- Stress.
- Humid bedding and flooring.
- Inadequate environments and bad ventilation increase the severity of the disease.
In the acute disease, a reliable diagnosis can be done based on clinical signs, due to the fact that there are no other diseases with such a dramatically quick transmission and clinical effects. Blood samples taken from sows at the beginning of the disease and 2 to 3 weeks after, show an increase in antibody titters. Influenza virus can be identified from nasal swabs analyzed by PCR. Oral fluids can also be used, with good results.
However, the endemic disease can be difficult to differentiate form other viral diseases. PRRS and Aujeszky's disease must be considered.
Sequencing is critical to establish the vaccine strain.
- Breeding sows and boars showing symptoms of the acute disease such as increase of temperature and of breathing speed must be treated with wide spectrum antibiotics.
- Control secondary bacterial pneumonia with antibiotics.
- Inject the most affected pigs.
- Medicate water for 3 to 5 days.
- Use anti-inflammatory medication to minimize the respiratory system damage.
- Several effective vaccines exist, but it is important that the vaccine contains the appropriate strain for each farm.

The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing, Traitor to the Nation
On Monday, December 18th, the teen book club will discuss The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing by M.T Anderson. This book was chosen to accompany the traveling exhibit, "Purchased Lives: The American Slave Trade from 1808 to 1865" that is currently on display at the Slidell branch.
Octavian and his mother, Cassiopeia, live at the Novanglian College of Lucidity in Boston during the time of the American Revolution. Though royal blood runs through their veins, they are the property of the College and Mr. 03-01, head scientist. In his youth, Octavian thinks nothing of the odd things he experiences at the hands of Mr. 03-01 and his cohorts but eventually, he realizes that he himself is an experiment. Every detail of his life is documented and unlike the other enslaved people at the College, Octavian is dressed in finery and taught Latin and Greek and learns to master the violin.
The Novanglian College of Lucidity is interested in determining whether the mental capacities of an African person can mirror the mental capacities of a European person. Octavian, naturally, is conflicted upon discovering the truth about his upbringing, his lessons, and his treatment. Throughout the story, Octavian and his mother try to navigate their increasingly odd circumstances with grace and dignity but there is only so much they can do given their enslaved status.
I highly recommend this book and encourage you to come to our discussion!

Words on Work
A Fresh Start and a Look Back
| Chantelle Spicer | Welcome to Words on Work! Through this column, I invite our readership to consider the workforce and ourselves as workers in new ways.
There have been significant changes in the workforce within the last year, 10 years, 40 years at both Canadian and global scales, yet we still, generally, consider work with the same expectations that our parents did. We still ask each other and ourselves "What do you want to do with your life? With your degree?" as though many of us will follow a distinct career path following graduation. Many still expect their labour to support their bills and lifestyles – to make a living – despite recognition of the growing numbers of the working poor. Many of us continue to hold fast to the rigorous work ethic adopted from previous generations – a work ethic that has lent itself to the never-ending work day and spiralling exploitation of workers.
We are students for a reason – to make ourselves more employable in better jobs (which itself is a massive shift from former understandings and values of education, but that's a different article). As students, we are taught to critically examine the world around us, so let us see how, together we can explore the idea of work.
Given that this is the last day of 2018, I want to start by looking back over the past year's labour trends and headlines – to set the stage we can move forward from together – looking specifically at Canada (which are often widely under-reported in media), but with the understanding there is a global workforce out there experiencing similar trends.
Divisions within Canadian labour unions
Starting off the year in labour unions, the Canadian Labour Congress was divided when UNIFOR, the country's largest private-sector union, decided to exit the Congress in January, claiming it was due to concerns surrounding American-based unions and their control of Canadian workers. However, the Congress has openly accused UNIFOR of exiting the national organisation with the intent to raid other unions of their membership, thereby collecting more dues from workers.
Overall, this speaks to a lot of issues within unions in general, whether they be reality or perceptions – many members of unions are dissatisfied with the representation and protections offered or issues with bureaucratic and limiting structures. There are many types of unions that exist in Canada (and the world) – from those that readily take direct action to improve conditions for workers to those that prohibit direct action in their bylaws, those who take great measure to educate and mobilize their membership at all times or those that are more reactionary as issues arise. The foundation of every labour union should always be fighting for the rights of their workers, whatever that might look like for each trade. The division between the Congress and UNIFOR only continues to build distrust of unions among workers at a time when unionization rates are falling, while we need to be uniting and educating workers.
Pitting workers against workers
It's hard to forget the very public disagreements between the BC and Alberta NDP governments in the start of 2018. In February and March of this year, frictions surrounding the Kinder-Morgan pipeline construction captured headlines when the BC government stated it would under no circumstances allow the pipeline to reach the coast. Alberta NDP retaliated stating it would cut off oil to the province, as well as restricting imports of wines produced in British Columbia.
The Calgary World Herald saw through the public perceptions and political mess of the feud and identified how this would impact the 2,000 workers already on the project. The Herald stated many workers were concerned about feeding their families or not being able to pay their mortgages due to the disputes. There were also discussions in various Alberta media outlets (and subsequent comment sections) surrounding the fact that many workers at wineries in British Columbia were transient workers and not as valuable to a stable economy (which is wrong on so many levels…). Workers in British Columbia in opposition to the pipeline also threw blows at pipeline and oil industry workers (and their defence of their work), often stating these workers were anti-environment and entitled.
This pitting of workers against workers does nothing but shift the conversation away from who actually makes the decisions, the rules, and the profits while further alienating workers from each other. This fragments the our power to make real change for the environment and how we work when we should be coming together in solidarity as exploited workers.
BC Community Benefit Agreements
The announcement of community benefits agreements (CBAs) introduced by the BC government in July was one of the province's most reported labour issues of 2018. The agreements will place emphasis on local union-based hiring for public infrastructure projects, with emphasis on and expectations for improving employment opportunities for women and Indigenous workers. The agreements have received some criticism from those in the Independent Contractors and Businesses Association of BC (ICBA) who disagree with workers only being able to be sourced from the BC Building Trades (BCBT) unions, with President Chris Gardner stating "freezing out 85% of these workers doesn't make sense, will increase cost to taxpayers and affects everything from completion to safety to schedule of the project." However, this organisation, as a coalition of developers stands to continue benefiting from being able to exploit workers.
In fact, this statistical claim is very misleading to the public, as it does not account for the difference between residential and non-residential workers. As these CBAs are for public works projects only non-residential workers are impacted. BCBT unions represents 40,000 (or 58% of) non-residential workers. In the coming years, we can analyze how these CBAs benefit BC workers, specifically rural workers, as well as see what further developments happen in supporting trades training and apprenticeships.
Economists report looming labour shortage that may last a decade.
The "baby boomer" generation created a bubble within the workforce as they came of age in the 1960s – one that is starting to pop as workers retire. This will require many small and mid-sized companies, particularly those in rural areas, to adapt to a workforce that is changing in many ways. The shortage was most acute with companies with from 10 to 99 employees, where more than half of respondents indicated it was "difficult to hire" new workers. In the long run this may be a benefit for young workers, as many companies are realizing they need to offer higher wages and better benefits to attract and keep their workers. This would be much needed considering the increased student debt many young workers are facing, rising cost of living, and slow wage growth over previous years. On the other hand, it may lead to increased automation or global relocation of the industry in some fields. Government reactions to this report should be pretty interesting over the coming year in terms of students and young workers, as much could be done to increase adult skills training and improved access to education.
Pay equity legislation tabled to protect federal employees
Though limited in scope – it only covers federally regulated employers with 10 or more workers in the federal public service, parliamentary workplaces, and the offices of the prime minister and other ministers, though some private sector workers fall under this – it is certainly an acknowledgement of a pay equity issue that has been fought against since women first entered the workforce in the 1940s. Furthermore, it counters the myth that women have already achieved equality within our society simply by being in the workforce.
The Act requires that all employers establish an equity plan in the coming 3 years, while also having sections that address poverty reduction generally. It also establishes the Department for Women and Gender Equality, which will replace existing Status of Women Canada. According to 2017 statistics in Canada, for every dollar a man earned, a woman earned 88.5 cents on the dollar as measured in hourly wages for full-time workers. When comparing overall earnings on an annual basis, women earned even less – just 69 cents for every dollar earned by men.
The Canadian Government stripped Canada Post workers of their constitutional rights through back-to work legislation. (stay tuned for lots more consideration of the year that as 2018 for Canada Post workers!)
This is a lot to sum up in a blurb, but here goes….Following months of union negotiations, CPUW workers began nation-wide rotating strikes on October 22 as action against failures of the employer (Canada Post) to adequately address increasing on-the-job injuries, a significant wage gap between rural and urban workers (which significantly affects women workers, who make up the bulk of rural workers (this greatly contributes to gender pay inequity across the country), and the lack of hiring full-time employees to alleviate the pressures and demands faced by existing workers.
The federal Liberals introduced the back-to-work legislation on November 23, citing the need for holiday packages to be delivered on time, as well as social assistance cheques in the face of the alleged growing backlog of packages. According to labour lawyer Paul Cavalluzzo, the government's interference in collective bargaining through the back-to-work legislation was really about giving Canada Post management the upper-hand to force the union into accepting a weaker deal, stating:
"Whereas the Union was forced to make significant concessions in an effort to reach an agreement and avoid the punitive legislation, the Corporation was able to escalate its demands and seek even greater concessions than it had in the months of negotiations preceding the legislation."
These are but a few stories of the way that labour is changing…but these are just the headlines. As current and future workers, we live these headlines…they are personal to us, our friends, families, and colleagues. I hope to use this column to showcase the realities of work and workers both in Canada and abroad, as well as highlight stories from the many folks who are fighting to change that. Welcome!
In Solidarity.

Had a good cruise weekend. My boys and I went on our annual mustang cruise Sunday morning. About 60-70 mustangs showed up. Had coffee and donuts then all the mustangs hit the road. Drove about 50 miles down some nice winding roads along the river. The group then stopped for ice cream. It was a good time by all. We even stopped at a local American Legion and checked out an old tank. The boys wanted their picture taken with it. I also included a pic of my buddy's cobra. After a long day of cruising we went back home and picked up my wife and took her out to dinner. On the way home from dinner we spied a car show going on, so we pulled in and checked it out. About 200 or so cars showed up for that one. Got to see my first Dodge Demon!!! All I can say is WOW!!!! It was freaking nice! Here's a few pics.

Do not stiffen when you go to swing at the ball. Lots of golf enthusiasts do simply this, and it negatively affects their video game. It is important to be relaxed and not stiff if you wish to hit precisely and powerfully. Prevent being stiff!
When beginning, the very best directions to learn are to just do exactly what feels comfy. Focus on striking the sphere, do not worry a lot where it goes, simply regularly strike the ball. When you can regularly strike the sphere with nearly every swing, then go to a PGA certified trainer or to a buddy who is a fairly great golf player.
Do not make the rookie mistake of purchasing a whole set of golf clubs. When you first start out, you don't need fourteen golf clubs. Rather, get a half-set. This will certainly offer you concentrated options of the most vital clubs. When you have actually become competent, you will comprehend how to buy extra clubs separately to fulfill your needs and complete your set.
Make the power of your swing come from your body for more accuracy. Not only will this give you better control and precision, however also it will minimize the chances of you getting an injury throughout a game. You want the power to come from your hips to provide you the optimum power capacity.
If you want to really drive a golf round hard with a solid, effective swing, you need to strike through the sphere, not at it. Follow-through is the single crucial aspect of an effective golf swing. If you simply aim at the sphere and stop, you lose many of the driving force you need to send it sailing.
Prior to you swing the golf club "take some time to line up! Aligning yourself for your shot is simple enough to do when you focus on a low and high things to set your line. Focus on something in the range, not the flag, that is in the direction you have to swing based off wind and other elements. Following that line back to you, discover something on the ground in front of you to concentrate on for the low. Doing this takes your focus off the flag because it is not normally the target you are intending for straight.
Playing golf requires patience. Getting a perfect shot at the golf ball needs the mind and body to be in ideal synchronization. Reaching this level needs practice, with gamers improving with each shot. If you wish to be a much better golf player, then follow the ideas in this post.
Shoot for a better rating than is definitely required. Attempt to do a couple of better than foregone conclusion. The extra obstacle will certainly stimulate on your brain and your body to do much better. Of course, you cannot take it too personally if you are not able to fulfill this goal, so don't overdo it.
Keep convenience and fit in mind when acquiring your golf equipment. Don't simply buy whatever your favorite professional golf player uses. For one thing, that golf enthusiast is getting paid huge money to utilize those clubs. For another thing, that golf player is not you! You ought to try great deals of different clubs and devices till you find the precise mix that fits your distinct requirements and style.
Golf stroke mechanics
You have to ensure you turn your shoulders and hips correctly. This is called "coiling." If you do not turn effectively then you are not going to attack full power. In order to maximize your drive capacity, you need to learn to "coil" correctly. Practice with an instructor or tape yourself swinging and practice doing this without hitting the round.
When starting to discover how to golf, focus on the drive. The drive will certainly put you in a great position either for a putt, or a 2nd shot then a putt. If you can not get it near the fairway on your drive, your drive needs work. Having a good drive can reduce your score greatly.
Just as with any sport, make sure to warm up prior to you play golf. This will certainly assist you play better and decrease the possibilities of injuring yourself. A couple of stretches, a bike trip or a walk prior to playing can help you focus your mind and prepare your body to do its best.
In conclusion, in order to play golf well, you need to have perseverance. The mind and body need to be in ideal sync to land the best shot. This level of synchronization and better play can just be reached with practice. By following the suggestions in this short article, you can be a much better golf player.
Ensure that you remain in designated areas if you are driving a golf cart. This is extremely important so that you do not hurt the course, as well as, for the security of you and the other golf players.

Amazon.com Inc. remains tight-lipped about its plans to launch its video streaming service in Canada, but local players anticipate the deep-pocketed competitor will enter the market by the end of the week.
Bell Media President Mary Ann Turcke told regulators at a broadcast licence renewal hearing in Ottawa on Tuesday that she expects her company's video streaming service, CraveTV, will have to compete against Amazon Prime Video as of Thursday.
"Now, a new global OTT (over-the-top) competitor – Amazon Prime – is entering the Canadian market in two days," she said in her opening remarks to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission.
"So it's not just our fellow Canadian broadcasters who will try to outbid us for the first run, original programming but it's Netflix and now Amazon, two entities that are not subject to the same regulatory requirements as us and that have astronomically more buying power than we do."
Her remarks were based on "widespread industry speculation," according to Bell Media spokesman Scott Henderson.
An Amazon spokesperson refused to confirm the launch date. Nor would he comment on the fact that parts of the service appear to have quietly launched already. Existing Amazon Prime customers in Canada can already stream some original content, including The Grand Tour, a series featuring former Top Gear presenters that Amazon claims was its biggest premiere.
"I don't have any further comment at the moment," spokesman Kaan Yalkin said in an email.
Speculation over Amazon's entrance into Canada has been heating up since Rogers Communications Inc. and Shaw Communciations Inc. announced they would wind down their joint video streaming service Shomi. Shomi's goes dark Wednesday, Nov. 30, leaving the content rights up for grabs to shows including the Amazon Prime series Transparent.
Amazon Prime members in Canada cannot yet stream Transparent or other shows that aired on Shomi, adding fuel to the rumours that Amazon acquired the rights and must wait for Shomi's imminent demise to launch.
Rogers and Shaw blamed the business climate for their decision to walk away from Shomi after less than two years. It couldn't compete with Netflix, which has an estimated 5 million Canadian customers. Bell, which is investing in original content, says its streaming service CraveTV surpassed 1 million subscribers this fall.
Shomi, meantime, was bleeding cash. Rogers recognized a $140 million loss on Shomi in the last quarter. Shaw reported a $52 million equity loss on the venture in fiscal 2016 and expects to write down an additional $120 million in the first quarter of 2017, according to its annual report. Shaw reported $46 million in revenue from Shomi last year with costs of $182 million.
CRTC chairman Jean-Pierre Blais has criticized Rogers and Shaw for "throwing in the towel" on the young venture considering the rising popularity of online streaming. At a broadcast TV licence renewal on Monday, Blais questioned whether company founder Ted Rogers would have given up.
"The last thing we wanted to do was close down the service," Rogers media president Rick Brace responded. But he likened Shomi to "pushing water uphill" given its lower subscriber base and increasingly expensive content prices.
"At the end of the day, we determined it just wasn't going to work. It wasn't something that was taken lightly," Brace said.
Rogers declined to comment further. Shaw did not immediately return a request for comment.

Modern planters design has been catching on for quite some time now. With the increasing interest in building modern, green, comfortable homes that are more and more in tune with our natural surroundings, the need for visually appealing planter design has become part of an eye-catching home. Greenery is welcomed inside under different shapes, from green walls to succulents kept in geometric planters.
Filipino designer Jinggoy Buensuceso has imagined a planters collection that can be correlated with our modern surroundings. The Boulders Collection was designed for HIVE and this is how the designer describes his contribution to this field: "The Boulders Collection offers a juxtaposition of contemporary forms and antique detailing. The polygonal shape is a simple conveyance of modern sculptures while the natural oxidation of metal provides the rustic feel. All planters are offered in neutral rusty shade while the bowls come in white, black and blue."
We've presented some contemporary planters for homes that need more that the usual visual effect and I'm going to mention the Antipode Planter by Morris Design Office, and the Floating Garden by Gabriella Asztalos. All three planters have a sleek design that make them easily adaptable to modern homes.

Today on his blog, Larry James, president and CEO for Central Dallas Ministries, posted the following video about Dallas' homeless. The video, titled "The Dallas No One Wants to See," was made by Justin Malone and Malone Media and screened last week at the CDM-sponsored mayoral candidate forum and prayer breakfast, which took place at the Anatole and was attended by some 1,100 folks. Incidentally, if you couldn't attend, KERA's is making the audio from the forum available via podcast; you can grab it here. --Robert Wilonsky

Paperback(Mass Market Paperback - Reprint)
An exhilarating thrill-ride through the underbelly of cyber espionage in the vein of David Ignatius's The Director and the television series Leverage, CSI: Cyber, and Person of Interest, which follows five iconoclastic hackers who are coerced into serving the U.S. government.
An Anonymous-style rabble rouser, an Arab spring hactivist, a black-hat hacker, an old-school cipherpunk, and an online troll are each offered a choice: go to prison or help protect the United States, putting their brains and skills to work for the government for one year.
But being a white-hat doesn't always mean you work for the good guys. The would-be cyberspies discover that behind the scenes lurks a sinister NSA program, an artificial intelligence code-named Typhon, that has origins and an evolution both dangerous and disturbing. And if it's not brought down, will soon be uncontrollable.
Can the hackers escape their federal watchers and confront Typhon and its mysterious creator? And what does the government really want them to do? If they decide to turn the tables, will their own secrets be exposed—and their lives erased like lines of bad code?
Combining the scientific-based, propulsive narrative style of Michael Crichton with the eerie atmosphere and conspiracy themes of The X-Files and the imaginative, speculative edge of Neal Stephenson and William Gibson, Zer0es explores our deep-seated fears about government surveillance and hacking in an inventive fast-paced novel sure to earn Chuck Wendig the widespread acclaim he deserves.

I liked it but it took me longer to read than most books. I think because it was slow in some spots
Liked the characters...okay, fairly good plot...but poorly written. Way too many points of view. So many descriptive phrases and words I wanted to red line them out. The computer jargon wasn't accurate and the characters dialog was just plain off. Maybe a great editor could take this book apart and rewrite pretty much everything and you'd have a novel that made sense. Too much effort, think I'll move on to another author. Jp
Heck of a read.

I google this blog to see if I had ever written anything about John McCain. I only found two examples. Here's the first, from 2004:
In the second, aptly titled "fucking dickheads, john mccain edition", from 2008, I added, "McCain was never one of the good guys; I confess to puzzlement over the positive feelings many progressives seemed to have for him."

"Have you accepted Moses as your personal savior?" Okay, maybe that's not how we Heebs approach the unaffiliated (Jews who don't belong to a synagogue), but after reading an article in today's New York Times about "temple recruiters" hanging out by Passover food displays in supermarkets, I'm trying to imagine what the Jewish version of Jehovah's Witnesses would look like.
A group of Hadassah bubbes is camped out by the matzo display at Ralph's. With laser-like accuracy, they spot you, the twice-a-year-plus-Passover-Jew, at a hundred paces. You're the one reaching for the egg matzos.
Bubbe #1 hands you a temple pamphlet touting Shabbat Yoga, comedy shows, and Torah cocktail parties while Bubbe #2 replaces the '97 Bordeaux in your shopping cart with a bottle of Mogen David Concord Grape.
Next year in Riverdale.

Sometimes, someone proposes a diet that totally contradicts everything you think you know.
Testosterone Nation has an interview with Penthouse magazine's editor Ori Hofmekler. His Warrior Diet is just that radical.
Read an Excerpt
This diet is based on the assumption that your body has the instinct, like any other instinct, to control itself and to manipulate it very well. The other big advantage of this diet is that it takes advantage of something that no other diet does?the empty stomach. Exciting things can happen when your brain barrier is open and you can manipulate your hormones.
We already know that working out on an empty stomach in the morning stimulates more weight loss than if we ate before. This diet basically guarantees you six to eight hours a day of fat-burning hormones running in your body.
Only in the ketogenic diet do we have a very similar affect, but the ketogenic diet has a lot of downsides to it. Again, it's based on an unnatural denial of instincts. Mentally, it can f*ck you up completely, and it could really f*ck up your ability to deal with stress. I think the mental deprivation plays a big part in what I should talk about.
In essence, the "Warrior Diet" will guarantee you a fat-burning hormone in your system for at least six to eight hours, which no other diet does. And last thing, the diet is based on a one meal a day principle. It's against all the rules. The meal is to be eaten at night. It could even be late at night; it doesn't matter.
Ideally, it's right after a workout. It sounds kind of bizarre?you could raise a lot of questions about resting metabolism and basal metabolism, and you could argue that most people won't be able to handle it, and stuff like that.
In 2001, Ori Hofmekler published the Warrior Diet to help people get off the roller coaster of weight gain and loss that modern-day diets may cause. He bases his plan — which involves "undereating" during the day and "overeating" at night — on the way people were allegedly designed to eat, according to pre-industrial times. Hofmekler designed the diet based on observation and opinion, rather than on science. With experience in the Israeli military and research into the way warrior societies — such as ancient Sparta and Rome — functioned, Hofmekler makes recommendations that are contrary to modern concepts in nutrition.
The Warrior Diet in a Nutshell
The Warrior Diet asks you to follow your instinct when it comes to dieting. You should not be swayed by processed foods or rules as to what types of calories and macronutrients to eat and when to eat them. Instead, eat like an ancient warrior — ancient warriors had little during the day, and instead ate their "hunt" at night. He advocates controlled fasting and exercising on a virtually empty stomach. You ease into having your food intake consist primarily of only one meal a day.
If you adapt to the diet in the way Hofmekler claims you will, you'll be better able to burn fat for fuel, have greater energy and you'll become lean without counting calories. The book advocates exercise as part of the plan, recommending total body strength training with moves such as pullups, squats, presses and high jumps. You should include short bursts of high-intensity cardio activity, such as sprints and frog jumps, in these intense sessions that last only 20 to 45 minutes.
Starting the Warrior Diet
Because the diet is quite different from the three meals and two snacks per day that most nutritionists recommend, it takes some adjustment before you start the diet. Going cold turkey into a regimen of one meal per day can cause light-headedness and weakness. Instead, ease into the diet gradually. Add short periods of controlled fasting a couple of days per week. For example, don't eat breakfast twice a week and then eat normally for the rest of the day. During the following weeks, increase the number of days that you follow this protocol until you've fully adapted to the diet.
Next, you'll work on extending the periods of "undereating." You'll start to skip lunch, too. Fasting doesn't mean drinking only water, though. You can still eat whole, raw foods so that you'll benefit from the digestive enzymes.
Undereating and Overeating on the Warrior Diet
When you undereat, or fast, on the Warrior Diet you may still consume fruits, vegetables and small servings of protein, if you desire. Canned fruits and vegetables or their juices are off limits. Instead, you focus on eating the whole food or freshly pressed juices from the whole food, which are full of enzymes that help you reload, according to Hokmekler.
Small portions of protein that are less than 6 ounces are also permitted during the "undereating." Don't mix the types, though, and choose those that are easy to digest, which includes sashimi, eggs, poultry and yogurt. He claims that your body will sense if and when it needs a little protein during this phase.
Except for protein, the diet doesn't offer recommendations as to how much of these foods to eat during the "undereating" period. You may feel hungry, but you should never feel the pain of starvation while on the plan.
You can have your evening meal any time — even right before bed — and this meal isn't limited by calories or serving sizes. Stick to whole foods such as meats, poultry, fish, vegetables and whole grains. Hofmekler says you know you're satiated when you feel "thirsty," and should stop eating.
Concerns With the Warrior Diet
The fact that the diet really has no support in science is a concern. For some advocates, like Hofmekler, it may work, but this doesn't mean that the diet is appropriate for the general population.
It's difficult to get all the nutrients you need in one meal a day. Sticking to one meal a day may help you lose weight, but that's not a guarantee. A one-meal-per-day plan can leave you extremely hungry so that you're likely to binge and overeat when you do eat — which won't help you lose weight. It's also difficult to maintain if you live in a household where the other people eat three meals a day.
The Warrior Diet has most of your workouts occur during the "undereating" or controlled-fasting stage. While some people might be OK with exercising on an empty stomach, other people may find that this can cause side effects such as dizziness, nausea and poor performance.
Before beginning this — or any other altered eating plan — consult with your health care provider. Some of the exercises in the book or the fasting may be contrary to certain health conditions or medications.

70OLYMPIC REVIEWLONDON 2012Will it be more difficult for you this year as defending champions?It's always difficult to defend a title, we have a lot of fresh faces including a new coach and wehave to take one step at a time. It's not a negativefor us, we don't let these things go to our head. We have a lot of work to do but I am looking forwardto it. It was definitely the coolest thing that I haveever done! How big is Hockey in Holland?A lot of people play hockey in Holland butsoccer is still the biggest sport by far. TheOlympic Games do bring the game of hockey to alarger audience though. Hockey is getting bigger allthe time and media attention is growing too.How did it feel to score in the BeijingOlympic final and then win gold?The fact that we had achieved our goal took a few days to sink in. When I watch the game again I still get goose bumps. It was a long time ago but I still get the same feeling every time.What do you think of London hosting the Games?I love London! I have only been there oncethough. There are so many people and the shopping isamazing! With all the world's best athletes in one place,the atmosphere is incredible and I am looking forward tobeing in an Olympic village again. It's great that theGames are in London, people can travel from Hollandvery easily, so there will be lotsof support for us. When did you start to play hockey?My mother played and I used to play aroundwith my little hockey stick when I went towatch her. I started to play when I was six althoughbecoming a professional was not anything that Idreamt of, even when I was selected for the Dutchyouth team at the age of 13. I was just playingbecause I loved it. When I turned 18, I began torealise that I could represent Holland and then fouryears later we won the World Cup.Did you always dream of becoming anOlympian? I was very sporty when I was younger. I wouldalways play outside but I didn't watch a lot of TV. Myearliest memory of the Olympic Games was watchingthe swimming when Pieter van den Hoogenband andInge de Bruijn won gold in Sydney in 2000.How does an average training week work?During the club season, we train three days a week with the national team, two days withour clubs with two days rest and a club game onSunday. In the build-up to a tournament, we will trainevery day together as a national team.Where do you have to be strongest to bean international hockey player?We do a lot of work on our core stability so thatwe can be strong on the ball and stay on our feetunder pressure. I was always fast with the ball but you have to be able to take the physical impact too,especially against the British girls!Who will be your most dangerous rivals in London?Australia will be strong in London as well asArgentina, China and Germany.

I have had the harrowing experience of filing an FIR after a traffic police van rammed into my car; and I escaped being injured by a mere whisker. My car was badly damaged through no fault of mine, and the police attempted all methods of cover-up and contaminating the scene of the accident to save the culprit since he was "one of them"! Though the print media covered the case meticulously for three days, my FIR though filed, never say the light of day and no action was taken. It was as if NOTHING happened!
The police stations in India are territories that are full of swaggering crude men who hold little respect for women. With the stench of urine and sweat hanging heavy in the air, men in ill fitting uniforms occupy positions of authority that are never subjected to close monitoring. Women are mostly objects of titillation for those who sit behind those desks at which people are supposed to take their problems. Most often the "time pass" syndrome has kicked in to seal off any potential of conscience keeping that these men may have once felt.
Most often these jobs do not get selected by individuals for reasons of committed service. As a result it is for making a quick buck and using the uniform as a tool of power to serve oneself that gives the police a very bad name, in most instances. That rape and plunder, genocide and harassment, and above all apathy can be often seen as the calling card of the police force of India, is indeed a sad state of governance.
Today with the countries attention on the Punch and Judy show of P. Chidambaram and Pranab Mukherjee taking center stage, stories of women being mercilessly beaten by cops in Bihar's Nalanda's district for staging a peaceful protest and desiring to file a missing persons report, seems to have been put on the back burner of our conscience. Que cera cera....whatever will be will be? Good grief, those are corny lyrics of an old song! Who ordered this to become the new refrain of our National Anthem ? Perhaps the uncomfortable truth to that answer is you and me.

Israel to Complain to UN Over Syria Incitement of Border Violence
Foreign Ministry spokesman says complaint will focus on Syria's 'manipulation of its own citizens' to foment Sunday's violent border clashes, in which Syria says 23 protesters were killed.
Israel said on Monday that it will complain to the United Nations over what it said was Syria's use of demonstrators to challenge Israel's sovereignty, following violent clashes Sunday along the border between Syria and Israel in the Golan Heights.
The complaint would focus on Syria's "manipulation of its own citizens to generate violent incidents at the border," Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor said. UN chief Ban Ki-moon said live Israeli fire had caused casualties and UN monitors were "seeking to confirm facts".
Israeli Civil Defence Minister Matan Vilnai said "you cannot reach the Syrian-Israeli border from the Syrian side without clear instructions and approvals from the government in Damascus."
Syria said on Monday that 23 people were killed in Sunday's "Naksa Day" rally, commemorating 44 years since the 1967 Six-Day War. Israel captured Syria's Golan Heights in that conflict, as well as the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
Official Syrian news agency SANA quoted Health Minister Wael al-Halki as saying the death toll included a woman and a child, adding that another 350 people suffered gunshot wounds.
The IDF said that since all the casualties were on the Syrian side of the border it was unable to provide an exact count, but it expressed great skepticism about the Syrian figures. Soldiers fired "with precision" at the bottom half of the bodies of the protesters, the army said.
Channel 10 reported that an initial IDF inquiry into Sunday's events found that up to ten Syrian protesters had been killed when Molotov cocktails which the protesters had been throwing set off an anti-tank minefield.
The army accused the Syrian government of creating a deliberate provocation in an effort to divert world attention from its ongoing bloody repression of pro-democracy protests at home.
Senior officials in Jerusalem placed the responsibility for Sunday's violence on the Syrian police.
"Syria is trying to divert attention from the massacre that [Syria] is carrying out against its citizens with the provocation on the border," a senior official said. "We sent messages in recent days to both Syria and Lebanon. Lebanon prevented the protests, but Syria decided to carry out a provocation."

Restless nights in your room,
Oh for tomorrow—the thought, the doom,
As the mind ponders and races,
Got a firm mind to don bib 'n' braces.
Venturing through the challenging wares,
Why it seems so many cares?
Not that I'm stressed—just mystified,
So much need my sleep, truly I've cried!
Toss 'n' turn to stop the gait,
The voices in my head call me "mate,"
How do I stop them I do not know,
Counting sheep—away we go!
Truly there are a thousand different things,
That I could be doing with this time the thought now rings,
I get up with purpose; write, pray or clean,
Me and my mind, together a team!
Now I'm up I think what to do,
Blessed the feeling though my eyes still glue,
A minute or two and I'm ready to charge,
Me and my mind—ready and at large.
What do we do with those horrendous sleepless and restless nights? One thing I've learned is that tossing and turning is no good at all. Try getting to sleep for thirty minutes and if there's no success we're best to get up and do some light reading (without too much light around) and have a warmed glass of milk. A steady and warm shower can also help replicate the relaxing conditions pre-sleep.
A really good night's sleep involves five by 90 minute sleep cycles. If you're struggling to even get three of these i.e. four and a half hours sleep, never mind it; getting one full ninety minute cycle before you are due to wake up is key.
For instance, if I get up at 2.30am and must wake by 7.00am, I need to be back in bed by 5.30am. Of course, earlier is better. And with a poor night's sleep comes the need for an earlier night or some 10-20 minute naps during the ensuing day. The last ninety minute cycle will almost certainly give you the most vital pre-awakening rest you'll need. This sort of sleep is like the re-booting of the computer for our conscious minds. It makes all the difference for now.
Let's not stress too much about a lack of sleep—focus on gradual, steady improvement over the weeks and months. Be patient with yourself.

Teacher James Servin ordered to stay away from accusers
A Port Washington substitute teacher threatened one of two female students he is accused of sexually abusing in his classroom that she'd "regret it" if she told anyone, prosecutors say in court papers.
James P. Servin, 51, of Manhattan, is accused of inappropriately touching the girls the morning of Jan. 27 at Carrie Palmer Weber Middle School.
According to court papers, Servin touched one girl's right buttock and waistline, and the other girl's left knee and inner thigh.
Servin's attorney, Marc Gann of Mineola, said Friday the allegations are false.
"I think that the charges are a total fabrication. I don't find them to credible given the circumstances that are alleged," Gann said. "My understanding is that this happened in an open classroom with other students present and another teacher in and out of the classroom."
During Servin's arraignment Friday, Gann entered a not-guilty plea on his client's behalf in First District Court in Hempstead. Servin is charged with two counts each of endangering the welfare of a child, forcible touching and second-degree sexual abuse, all misdemeanors.
Judge Douglas J. Lerose ordered Servin, who was released on $5,000 cash bail, to stay away from the alleged victims.
Port Washington Police Chief James Salerno said police started an investigation when one of the girls' parents filed a complaint late last month.
According to court papers, one of the victims told Servin twice to take his hand off her leg.
"The defendant did threaten the victim by telling her if she had told anyone about what had happened that she would regret it," court papers said.
Servin has been a substitute teacher in the district for six years, Salerno said.
Gann said his client is a graduate of Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine, and a professional writer.
Superintendent Kathleen Mooney said in a statement the district is cooperating with the investigation and will no longer employ Servin as a substitute.
"The district takes these allegations very seriously, as the safety and well-being of our students and staff is our top priority," Mooney said. "Accordingly, as is our policy in situations such as this, our immediate first step was to remove the teacher from the classroom to ensure the safety and well-being of our students."

There are a lot of things that Adam and I could be complaining about right now. And in fact, sometimes we do. There was one week when I cried almost every day. It was like really bad. But most of the time we talk about the good things we have. And we focus on the positive. And the opportunities. It doesn't matter if Adam is having a hard time gaining his control the last few weeks - remember how I said I would jinx him? I totally did... whoops - and it doesn't matter if I am working full time in Arizona where I dont know anyone. And it doesn't matter that we are far apart from each other during the summer. I mean all those things do matter - but at the same time they don't. They don't because we have our health. We have our family. We have each other. We are married. We aren't in debt. We can afford the things we need. We have love. We have laughter. We have support. And we are going to be together for eternity. So really, we have a lot of really awesome things. Things that other people would kill for. And because of that, I truly am happy. Sometimes we just need a reminder. Life is hard. The struggle is real. But there is always something to be happy for. What are you happy for today? What makes you smile after a long day?

George Ticknor to Thomas Jefferson, 23 April 1816
From George Ticknor
Göttingen April. 23. 1816.—
Dear Sir,
Four days ago, I received your favor of Feb. 8. from which I am led to hope that I may soon receive from you another letter which you wrote Jan. 31. and which as it comes through France must probably be somewhat longer on the way. My own letters to you as well as to my friends generally have not been fortunate, and as my last contained some facts, which it may be important for you to know, I send the copy of it with this for fear of accidents.
The books you have desired to be procured are all, except Lœsner's Hesiod, to be had in Göttingen as reasonably as in any part of Europe. I shall, therefore, purchase them immediately and send them out with some books, which I shall ship to my father from Hamburg, and he will give you immediate notice of their arrival and send them to any Southern port you may have directed on the receipt of this. I think you will find none of them high, except Coray's éditions and I imagine you will be satisfied even with these as they are really learned, and curious as well as beautiful and an interesting monument of the exertions that have been made and are still making for the restoration of Greece to the comforts of civilization, which whether successful or not must always be respected.
Perhaps, when you have received these specimens of German editions you will be induced to permit me to send you some others. The longer I remain here, the more I learn to value the German modes of study and the enlarged and liberal spirit of German scholarship and, for the same reason I think the more you see of German editions of the classicks, the more you will be disposed to admit them into your library. Within forty years the scholars of this country, I am persuaded, have done more towards the final understanding of the classicks, than all Europe had done during the century that preceded, not by imitating the minute and tedious accuracy of the Dutch commentators, but by reducing the whole study of antiquity to a philosophical system, in which one part assists to explain the other and all together form a harmonious and happy whole. They have, in fact, done for the ancients what Blackstone did for the English law and though I cannot say that their digest, like his, is to be found in a single treatise, yet no man is now considered a scholar here, who is not master of it. The effect of this has been particularly favourable in the investigations it has occasioned into the Spirit of Grecian philosophy and the different characters it assumed in different ages—in the fine histories of Grecian arts and policy it has produced—and the new and more liberal direction it has given to the study [of]1 Greek literature and manners generally. They have, in fact, already done for all the ages of Greece, what all Barthelemy's learning, for want of a philosophical spirit to direct it, has not been able to do for one. To say nothing of the numberless editions, which are offered at every Leipzig fair, of the classical authors, the practise of bringing all learning into the form of philosophical histories & treatises is gaining ground very fast and really doing wonders. In these respects, Winkelmann's History of ancient art—Heeren's tho'ts on the Policy and commerce of the Ancients—Tiedemann's History of Greek philosophy—Creuzer's mythology of the Ancients—&c &c are works which have no parallell in other languages, & which, except ye first, are so recent, yt. yy. are yet hardly known beyond the limits of Germany. The great difference between a German scholar and those of England & Holland, is, that, with even more minute, verbal learning than they, he treats the study of antiquity as a liberal science, while they treat it as a mechanical art. This change has been effected by the schools of Heyne and Wolf, who, by turning their immense learning to its appropriate objects have made a revolution in the study of antiquity, which is alrea[dy] felt in England in defiance of the difference of language and their inveterate prejudice against every thing foreign & continental—and which, I am persuaded, in thirty years more will make it toto cælo a different affair to be a scholar there from what it is now.—
I am exceedingly anxious to have this spirit of pursuing all literary studies philosophically—of making scholarship as little of drudgery & mechanism as possible transplanted into the U. States, in whose free and liberal soil I think it would, at once, find congenial nourishment: It is a spirit, which in Germany now goes through everything—through Theology, history, modern literature &c It surprized me, I assure you, to find an admirable philosophical history of English literature, written by a man who was never even in England, and yet compared [with]2 which Warton's fragment is but a clumsy piece of pedantry. A remark of similar import was made to me in relation to his own country a few days since by a very learned Portuguese and the same thing might be said by a Spaniard & Italian tho' I believe not by a Frenchman.—But, I suspect, it is better for me to stop; and yet I know of nobody who will more readily credit my accounts than you will, or who would more rejoice at the state & spirit of learning in Germany.—
Remember me, I pray you, respectfully & gratefully to all your family. I have been for some time trying to ascertain whether Mr. Gilmer is in Europe, for I wish to write to him & do not know where to direct my letters.
Geo: Ticknor.
