The year in beer: 2015 brought big changes to craft brew market
The year 2015 had quite a few ups and downs for craft beer. Here are a few of the biggest stories of the year with some predictions for next year:
The year of the acquisition
For the duration of its existence, the craft brewing industry has mostly avoided what many industries face constantly: acquisitions.
This year, all that changed with six American breweries selling out to larger brewing conglomerates. Back in 2011, Anheuser-Busch's purchase of Goose Island for $38 million sent waves through the craft brewing community. The independent spirit is one of craft beer's points of pride, and when someone as revered and respected as Goose Island sold, it felt like the first domino to fall.
It took awhile for more to follow , but the biggest one by far was San Diego's Ballast Point Brewing selling last month for a reported $1 billion to alcoholic beverage conglomerate Constellation Brands.
Breckenridge Brewery in Colorado, Lagunitas in California and Four Peaks in Arizona are other names that Texan drinkers probably recognize that sold this year. Shockingly, Colorado's New Belgium — which is employee-owned — was mentioned as entertaining an offer. Nothing materialized on that sale, but from some of the recent news, it appears no brewery is exempt from a potential sale.
Money talks, and it's difficult to fault a mid-size business staring at a billion-dollar check. Guaranteed, as megabrewers continue to focus on growing their craft segments, this is only the beginning.
2016 is likely to see even more, and most intriguing will be to see who will be the first in Texas to sell. It's certainly coming.
Two fallen soldiers
Money talks for the big guys, but it also talks for the very small.
Bearded Eel in Fort Worth and Firewheel in Rowlett both shuttered their doors recently. It stands to reason that as the craft beer market continues to grow and competition increases, breweries without the right combination of cash flow, brewing ability or marketing will fall off.
Passion only goes so far, and these two brewers found out the hard way.
Colorado invasion?
In an interesting turn of events, Firewheel sold its brewery to Colorado's Backcountry Brewery a little more than a month after closing for good. Backcountry plans to use the former Firewheel brewery as a satellite location and brew Backcountry beers distributed for the Texas market.
Also, earlier this year, Colorado's Oskar Blues brewery announced it would be constructing a brewery in Austin. This will be its third location, as Oskar Blues opened a brewery in North Carolina in 2013.
It remains to be seen how local beer consumers will react to this pseudo-local invasion. Is it a local beer if it's brewed here but owned by an out-of-state company? Not really, but most consumers probably won't care either way.
Crowler Crackdown
Speaking of Oskar Blues, part of its business is selling Crowler machines that it invented with the help of the Ball Corp.
These 32-ounce cans that can be filled like a growler and sealed on site as a can have gained popularity. The Collective Brewing Project in Fort Worth was the first to get one in Texas and uses it as a significant part of its business.
They even introduced a "Crowler Club" in which patrons can purchase a membership that includes discounts on merchandise, early access to bottle releases and four Crowlers included for each month of the membership.
However, brewers aren't the only ones with Crowler-filling machines. Locals like Lone Star Taps & Caps in Lewisville and several Austin and Houston bars were filling Crowlers for beer to-go. They got away with it for awhile until the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission caught wind and decided that filling Crowlers constituted "packaging" the beer for sale.
It's a thin line that defines the difference between filling a temporary container like a growler with a swing or twist-on top and a vessel of the same size that seals the top in a similar manner that packaged cans undergo. It's a manual one-at-a-time process, so it's not really the same as how most breweries would can their beers, but it all depends on how the law is interpreted.
Ultimately, TABC ordered the practice to stop and these retailers were forced to stop selling Crowlers.
As craft beer continues to grow, these types of innovations will continue and Texas brewers and retailers will have to decide what's important to prioritize in lobbying legislators to modify vague or restrictive laws.
Sadly, one like this is small enough that it might not see a champion for its change any time soon.
Distribution expansion
As more breweries open locally and import their beers from out-of-state, the need for distributing increases as well. Some breweries like Revolver have dug in their heels on self distribution and aren't interested in signing with a distributor.
But for every Revolver, there are many who don't want to hassle with managing a distributing operation along with a brewing operation.
As a result, smaller, new businesses like Sons of John Distribution and Full Clip Craft Distributors are gathering portfolios of brewers that want a smaller, more hands-on approach than larger distributors like Ben E. Keith or Andrews seemingly provide.
This is resulting in brewers from other parts of the state distributing to DFW that might not have without the existence of these smaller distributors.

Pharmaceutical and Biological Drugs
Since 1978 China has gradually been changing from a centrally planned
towards a market-orientated economy. China's new Premier, Zhu Rongji,
has most recently met these challenges directly with his proposed revamping of
the banking system, official distribution system and state-owned industrial sector.
In this efficiency drive and also, to minimize duplication, over 15 government
ministries have been eliminated.
In another major reform, that will generate a major impact on the sale
of medicines,
the health care insurance system is being expanded to reach the remaining 80% of
the population without health cover. The pharmaceutical market in China was valued
at US$10.8 billion in 1996 which was 22% higher than the previous year. With the
average annual growth rate for total drugs sales predicted to be in the 10-16%
range, this would leave China, with an unofficial population of 1.6 billion, as one
of the largest pharmaceutical markets in the world.
This huge potential market is one that pharmaceutical and biotechnology
manufacturers just cannot afford to ignore. Currently, there has never been a better time
to enter this booming market and Lit Cheong Biotech Limited is presenting itself and
its services to drugs manufacturers who believe they have a product with potential
for the Chinese market.
We provide the following services;
Arrange the testing of medical products in approved centres
the complete approval of specified drugs (this includes testing and
licensing of the drug through the Ministry of Public Health and State
Pharmaceutical Administration of China)

Feeding a population of 12 billion is no easy task and that is why improving
productivity of the agriculture sector is ranked highly on China's list of state policies.
In pursuance of this national goal, Chinese leaders have been advocating their
people to make use of more advanced farming tools and quality agricultural
supplies. This created an enormous market potential for all suppliers of agricultural
products from all over the world.
Lit Cheong Agricultural Limited ("LCA") has positioned itself well for
agriculture related business opportunities in China. Since the mid-80s, the
division has been engaged in the marketing and distribution of quality vegetable
seeds, floral and foliage plants, fertilizers, pesticides and agricultural equipment.
Currently, LCA owns the registered trademarks of a number of fruit and vegetable
seeds for sales in China.

business development in the northern and southern areas of the country, respectively.
a 30+ strong team that includes qualified agronomists, technicians and

Efficient and dedicated employees are the real assets of an organization. In the prevailing era of cutthroat competition, all businesses race against each other to stay ahead. In such a situation where hiring and retaining diligent employees is essential for growth and development, boosting their morale and promoting company culture is the need of the hour.
Office parties to celebrate employee birthdays, welcome a new team member or commemorate other similar occasions can be nicely utilized as opportunities for collaboration and strengthening mutual bonds. The best idea when organizing office parties is to hire catering in Moore, OK, as these services ensure that your valued employees enjoy a great time with awesome food.
Office parties can be made better with smart providers of catering in Moore, OK. There are restaurants like Louie's Grill and Bar that provide amazing options for both food and beverages suitable to the taste and preferences of your employees.

The cost of not being present and aware is high these days. Much of the population will spend their days sad, upset or resentful as they allow their brain to focus on things from the past.
Another section of the population will spend their days anxious, worried and wound up in knots as they constantly focus on a future that hasn't yet arrived.
Both of these situations are a form of stress and a sign that our thoughts are out of balance with optimal mental and physical health.
Our stress response hormone – cortisol is released in the presence of stress. It is supposed to release and then drop, but our modern world is bathing our bodies in this hormone more than we are supposed to be. This creates health problems and quality of life problems. Every single cell in your body is influenced by cortisol.
Stress can make you fat, sick and grumpy – and in pain
Our body's fascial system provides a communicative link between the brain and the body. Every single organ, bone, joint, nerve and muscle is surrounded in this fascial 'net'.
When we experience any sort of stress or trauma our body goes into a compensatory pattern for it. Your fascia begins to 'look after you' by changing its form, this can cause pain and restriction not only around the injury, but in other random places in your body. This isn't just physical stress, but also mental/emotional.
Fasical restrictions can really affect your quality of life. Because it has an electrical conductivity it is receiving information from the world around you. Stressed, dehydrated and restricted fascia does not have the same ability to respond as nice hydrated free moving fascia. Myofascial Release Therapy is how we break up these restrictions.
Fascial restriction can lower your resilience to stress. So this creates quite a loop – stress creates the restriction and the restriction lowers your resiliance to more stress.
To get out of this loop, we practise mindfulness. Mindfulness is living in the now; not the past or future.
Some examples of being mindful:
- Listening in conversation instead of impatiently waiting for your turn to speak.
- Savoring every bite of that cake instead of inhaling it.
- Being grateful daily – even if you thought the day wasn't great, there is always some thing to be grateful for.
- Creating better solutions for things instead of "wishing the year was over"
- Being present with your body during massage, stretching, sex etc instead of zoning off into some future daydream.
The researched benefits of mindfulness are far reaching: reduces stress, anxiety, and depression; enhances neuroendocrine (brain-hormone) and immune system function; fosters enhanced resilience to stress, produces a more optimal brain function, slows the cellular ageing process and increases energy and zest for life. Improvements with memory, sense of self, empathy, compassion and introspection.
How often should we practise mindfulness?
All the time. After all, what else do you have to do? The past is past, and you can worry about future problems when they ACTUALLY happen.

Proof that women are smarter than men (about security)
Men make a lot of mistakes, and it appears they're more likely than women to let crooks access sensitive information. According to a recent survey, guys are almost twice as likely as women to store passwords or PINs to credit cards, debit cards, online bank accounts and other online accounts on their smartphones, tablets and laptops -- a poor security habit that could lead to chaos if one of those devices were stolen or hacked into.
This is according to a survey jointly conducted by the U.K. division of Equifax and the London-based research firm Gorkana, which questioned 500 British persons of all ages, according to The Register. The study found that 21 percent of male respondents stored passwords on their devices, compared to 11 percent of females, and that 14 percent of men stored their credit- or debit-card PIN numbers, as opposed to 7 percent of female respondents. (Most credit cards in Europe require a PIN to use.)
MORE: The Best (and Worst) Identity Theft Protection
While the companies didn't completely explain how those users were improperly storing that sensitive information, we can presume Equifax and Gorkana meant that respondents were keeping login credentials in a plaintext note-taking software such as Windows' Notepad, iOS's Notes or Google Keep. Anyone who got a look at those files would have access to the credentials.
It's possible that the numbers also include users of encrypted password managers like LastPass or 1Password, but those people would be following better security practices and normally wouldn't be worth worrying about.
The survey found significant differences in how younger and older users handled sensitive information. Thirty-eight percent of respondents 18 to 24 stored passwords to online accounts on their devices, as opposed to 16 percent of users overall.
Twenty-one percent of the 18-to-24-year olds admitted to storing credit- and debit-card PIN numbers on their devices. Older users seemed less likely to do so; only 10 percent of all respondents kept PINs on their devices.

Town Green Village, Windsor, CA (3)Named one of the "Top Smart Growth Projects" by the Sierra Club, Town Green Village is on the cutting edge of New Urbanism for Northern California. Locally owned and operated retail stores, restaurants, wine-bars and professional offices create a place where a diverse community can come together to live, work, and celebrate all that Sonoma County has to offer. The Village is built on 14 acres and is comprised of three-story, mixed-use buildings, with commercial condominiums on the first floor and two-story residential condominiums above. Many of the building facades are designed re-creations of historic Windsor and Sonoma County buildings. The Town Green Village project utilizes Smart Growth and New Urbanism design techniques to create a unique Northern California community. In addition, the mixed-use concept conserves land that would normally be converted into urban sprawl, leaving the beautiful landscape of Sonoma County free of unnecessary development.
Ferrari-Carano Russian River Bank Restoration & Bio-Engineering Project (11)The project site is located at approximately River Mile 28, on the west bank of the Russian River. The existing site consisted of the eroding bank approximately 300 feet long and over 45 feet high from thalweg to top of bank. The design includeed the grading of the bank to a stable slope, building a compacted keyway and bench with bank material and covered by willow mat, placement of root wads (large woody debris) and the revegetation plan is to install native riparian plants in an effort to mimic the surrounding habitat and increase bank stability along the Russian River. A total of 595 native riparian trees and shrubs are proposed to be installed with the appropriate hardware. Key species include: white alder, box elder, Oregon ash, Fremont cottonwood, buckeye, California black walnut, coyote brush, and California wild rose. The construction plan involves using heavy equipment, primarily an excavator and dump trucks. The eroded bank was regraded and a temporary access road was installed. Vegetation plantings, consisting of willow cuttings, were placed within and behind a keyway trench excavated into the bank. The excavator with the assistance of hand labor created the finished grade with live willow brush layering. The upper bank will be planted with appropriate native species in the coming months.
Main Street Village-Ukiah 14 Lot Mixed Use Planned Development (2)Project Manager: Kevin Doble Engineer: James H Hill, RCE Land Surveyor: Bradley A Thomas, PLS This project included 12 Residential Townhomes, 5 Retail/Commercial Units below 5 Residential Apartments. Our scope of work for this project was to develop and process the conceptual plans through the City of Ukiah Entitlement Process, prepare a Tentative Subdivision Map, area wide Flood and Drainage Study, and prepare on and offsite Improvement Plans. The projects involved four different applications: 1.) A Boundary Line Adjustment (BLA) 2.) A General Plan Amendment to establish the site as a Planned Development 3.) A Zone Change would change the zoning district designations on the newly established development area from R-3 (HDR) and C-I (Community Commercial) to Planned Development (PD). 4.) A Major Subdivision Map would establish 14 total lots

Kingsbury Napa/Sonoma County Line Retracement (6)The original county lines were set by the first state legislature in 1850 and were little more than written descriptions of physical features. Like the famous Mason-Dixon Line between Maryland and Pennsylvania (which would later separate the Union from the Confederacy), the lines were ordered to determine what government entity could collect property taxes on borderland. The line between Napa and Sonoma counties was — simply put — drawn along the ridgeline of the Mayacmas mountain range. It started atop Mount St. Helena at the three corners with Lake County and ran down the ridge to San Pablo Bay. Or maybe it went water-to-mountaintop; we don't really know. But the ridgeline was definitely the boundary, and problems increased as more settlers claimed mountain land. A challenge resulted in an 1861 survey made by R.W. Morris, deputy to H.A. Higley, the state's surveyor-general. The field notes for this survey take us on a hike through rough country. "... to a large red rock where the timber of Cobb Mountain terminates & the chaparral commences ... ." Or, from a rock boulder marked "8" on top to white oak tree 2 feet in diameter, to a rock with cross on it, to a pine tree blazed on the west side, to a live oak marked on the east side to a rock mound with a fir tree, to an iron stake. IN 1877, WITH the knowledge that rock mounds shift and trees and brush burn, the state authorized a monumented survey. It was accomplished by Col. Kingsbury, who placed 53 iron stakes at roughly one-mile intervals along the ridge, using the 1861 survey as a base. That is the Kingsbury Line, separating the two counties today.

My parents are really happy. I brought home my first A in math yesterday and I know I couldnt have done it without the Algebrator.
As a mother who is both a research scientist and a company president (we do early ADME Tox analyses for the drug-discovery industry), I am very concerned about my daughters math education. Your algebra software was tremendously helpful for her. Its patient, full explanations were nearly what one would get with a professional tutor, but far more convenient and, needless to say, less expensive.
Your new release is so much more intuitive! You team was quick to respond. Great job! I will recommend the new version to other students.

Both comedians passed away over the weekend
Monday morning's Stern Show featured Howard sharing his thoughts on the passing of two comedic greats: Dick Gregory and Jerry Lewis. Both men died over the weekend after making indelible marks in the entertainment industry.
"Dick Gregory was a genius," Howard said of the stand-up and political activist, who died at 84 on Friday. "When he was a young man, as a comic, there was no better than Dick Gregory."
Growing up in the mostly black community of Roosevelt, N.Y., Howard recalled how influential Gregory's early routines were to him and to the other kids around him, calling the comedian his "boyhood hero."
"I just loved him and I thought he was so cutting edge," Howard continued.
Check out Dick Gregory's bit about shoveling snow in the video (below).
On Sunday, comedian and actor Jerry Lewis passed away at age 91 at his home in Las Vegas. Howard praised Lewis's knack for physical comedy.
"He could walk in and just be funny," he said.
As it turns out, Jerry was a fan of Howard's work, as well.
"I think I told you that Jerry Lewis wrote me a note," Howard told Robin. "About two years ago, when I was in my last season of 'America's Got Talent.'"'
In the letter, Lewis let Howard know he was a fan of what he was doing on "AGT." Considering how multifaceted Jerry's own talents were, Howard was touched to receive the compliment.

The Fayetteville Observer filed a court motion Thursday seeking to have a judge dissolve or at least modify a gag order in the case involving Mike Lallier, a prominent car dealer and former chairman of the Fayetteville Public Works Commission.
Lallier, 63, was charged Sept. 5 in Darlington County, South Carolina, with molesting a 15-year-old boy at Darlington Raceway.
On Sept. 19, Roger E. Henderson, chief administrative judge for the Fourth Judicial Circuit in Darlington, issued a gag order prohibiting anyone connected to the case - including the victim and his relatives - from talking about it outside of court or releasing documents pertaining to it.
Henderson wrote in his order that "there have been numerous, aggressive inquires regarding this case by non-trial participants" and "the state believes it has a duty to protect the pending investigation of this case as well as the right of the defendant to a fair trial."
In its motion seeking to lift the gag order, the Observer argues that the order "is a constitutionally impermissible prior restraint on speech" that "cast a blanket of silence over these criminal proceedings and interferes in significant and impermissible ways with the ability of the public and press to learn of the proceedings."
The newspaper's motion was filed by media lawyer Jon Buchan Jr. of Charlotte and Jay Bender, a lawyer in Columbia who represents the South Carolina Press Association.
Observer reporters have been rebuffed in numerous attempts to gain access to public court records or even to learn the date of Lallier's court appearances. A court clerk said she has not seen a similar gag order - except in two capital murder cases - in the 20 years she has worked in the Darlington County Clerk of Court's Office.
Sherrie Baugh, the deputy solicitor who is prosecuting the case, has not returned messages from reporters.
"We believe the public has a significant interest in this case," said Michael Adams, the Observer's executive editor, "and that we have a responsibility to use all means to seek information about it, including seeking remedies in the court system."
In its motion, the Observer contends that "nothing in the court's order suggests that this case - despite the defendant's high profile as a prominent Fayetteville businessman and automobile dealer - is any different than any other felony case brought in the South Carolina courts."
The motion also argues that the order's sweeping restrictions on the speech of people "other than parties to the prosecution, their lawyers and law enforcement personnel interferes with their rights - for example, the victim and the victim's family - to comment in any manner on the activities of governmental agencies."
According to the motion, the gag order's "faulty premise" that the release of information could jeopardize the case ignores a Supreme Court finding that pretrial publicity, "even if pervasive and concentrated, cannot be regarded as leading automatically and in every kind of criminal case to an unfair trial."
The motion argues that although there has been significant publicity on the case in Fayetteville, there has been little in Darlington County.
Lawyers for the Observer cited the Supreme Court's findings in the case Nebraska Press Association vs. Stuart: "Prior restraints on speech and publication are the most serious and the least tolerable infringement on First Amendment rights."
In addition, the Observer's lawyers say a motion by prosecutors to seek the gag order was not made in writing, and there is no indication that it was made in open court with a court reporter present. Both would be violations of South Carolina statutes.
The criminal case in Darlington County appears to be tied to civil cases in Fayetteville.
Last week, Lallier dismissed a Cumberland County lawsuit that seemed to be an attempt to keep an employee he fired from his Reed-Lallier Chevrolet dealership from revealing information about the criminal case in South Carolina. Lallier had wanted the court to find that the employee had agreed to confidential arbitration as part of the company's work policy.
Included in that case was an exhibit that says lawyers for four boys were in discussions with one of Lallier's lawyers, David Courie, on Sept. 6 and 7. Those were the first two days following Lallier's arrest.
The document is a Sept. 7 letter from lawyer Michael Porter that is titled "confidential settlement communication."
Porter wrote that he and lawyer Reed Noble were representing the four boys and two men "in regards to the conduct/activities of your client that we discussed with you yesterday."
One of the men identified in the letter is the employee who was fired. The Observer is not naming him because doing so could reveal the identity of the alleged victim in South Carolina.
Shortly after reporting on the exhibit, the Observer learned that an out-of-town judge had been called to Cumberland County to hear a civil case involving Lallier. Judge William Pittman of Wake County ordered court documents in that case to be sealed.
No records have been made public to indicate whether the case is connected to the letter mentioning settlement discussions.
The case was filed Nov. 22 and dismissed by the plaintiffs on Dec. 30.
Lallier served on the PWC board for 12 years and was weeks away from finishing his term when he was charged. He is a co-owner of Reed-Lallier Chevrolet; his father-in-law, Gene Reed of South Carolina, owns controlling interest. Lallier, Reed and the dealership were named as plaintiffs in the lawsuit against the fired employee.
Lallier is charged with criminal sexual conduct with a minor in the third degree, punishable by up to 15 years in prison under S.C. law.

From what I understand this legislator is pushing a bill in New Mexico which will be the strongest legislation to date to combat forced drugging of children.
The fact that legislation is needed to deal with forced drugging of children is a statement of how utterly depraved a certain segment of our society has gotten.

I happened to discover Kotonoha no Niwa while I was on Tumblr. While scrolling I came across a couple of gifs portraying visuals from the film, and I almost immediately disregarded them as just some neat shots of nature. Then as I continued to scroll my eye happened to catch the word "anime". Immediately I viewed the images again and I was taken aback to realize that the imagery I was watching was in fact animated. Straightaway I looked up the source of these beautiful graphics and watched the movie. I knew that even if the film was to fail on a narrative level in my eyes, I'd at least be pleased based off of the imagery alone. As it turns out, I was immersed into both.
The film focuses on two protagonists: Takao, a fifteen-year-old high school student who struggles between childish delights and a desire to grow up so as to achieve his dream of becoming a shoemaker; and Yukino, a twenty-seven-year-old woman who shares Takao's aspirations to mature and progress, but lacks his ambition and confidence to do so. The two meet on a rainy day (the first of many in the Kanto region's rainy season) and over the course of the film a romance of sorts buds between them as they learn more about each other and themselves.
Kotonoha no Niwa is a short movie at only forty-six minutes long, but it manages to flesh out its characters and their relationships notably well in its timespan. The character's dilemmas are ones that are easily emphasized with—making their relationship believable despite the age difference between the two. Their manners of thinking and behavior are testaments to their true ages, but how they view and react to their situations also reveals their maturities and immaturities.
The "romance" between the two is the secondary focal point of the movie, and it's handled with finesse—as a relationship of this type must be. There's a level of sensuality that's established without becoming creepy, and the ramifications of their relationship going too far is a plot point also handled with tact, never tarnishing the innocence the movie airs, nor overshadowing the main themes.
The primary focal point, however, are the visuals. Kotonoha no Niwa is one of the most gorgeous animated films I can recall seeing. While I don't claim to know how it was animated, there appears to be a blend of computer generated imagery and hand-drawn that creates visuals that blur the line between the surreal and the real. Throughout the film are various unique shots that show off the amazing artistic design with imagery of nature. Most of the environment almost becomes characters in itself—especially the rain. With its beauty and relevance in the story, I'd argue it is a character. This is without even mentioning the beautiful score by Daisuke Kashiwa. The movie proved itself to be one of both visceral and visual depth, and with such a brief running time, it lends itself to be viewed again and again without oversaturating the audience.

The aim of DnaNudge is to allow people's individual dna to guide them towards healthier choices. We align specifically chosen genetic traits with actionable dietary recommendations that are easy to follow.
The service complements general healthy eating best practices and is informed by national dietary guidelines. To gather the best evidence, our team of dietitians have analysed over 190,000 food and drink products alongside the latest scientific evidence from the Scientific Advisory Committee and the British Nutrition Foundation.
DnaNudge works within the parameters of each individual's habitual food shopping behaviour – so, if you've decided you want crisps, which would be better suited for you?
The test and the series of 'nudges' help you navigate all of these micro choices, so that over time you can make a significant step towards better health, without giving up on all life's pleasures.
Take for example a simple DNA-based "nudge" to buy a cereal product that contains less calories or sugar. Within a year, such a simple swap could result in effortless weight loss of 3.5Kg (7.7pounds), or a reduction in sugar consumption of 7Kg (this is 1788 tablespoons of sugar!). This means that even a single product change can, in the long term, have a significant positive health impact.
Our DNA-product mapping system is powered by proprietary algorithms developed by our team of scientists, geneticists, bioinformatitians, dietitians and deep-learning software engineers. Every time you scan a barcode, we take into account thousands of parameters to deliver the precise recommendation. This includes your DNA profile, findings from hundreds of gene-diet interaction studies, clinical trials, allergen profiling and national dietary guidelines.
Your resulting DnaNudge profile is unique, created by combining the genetic traits found in your DNA Report. This gives us an insight into how you metabolise food, how different nutrients affect your body and what impact different ingredients will have on you in the long run. The integrity of the science and evidence base for our approach is extremely well established. DnaNudge works closely with Imperial College, London, drawing on several high impact scientific publications in the field of medical genetics.
The DnaCartridge test provides results for a number of nutritional traits including:
Metabolic Imbalances: Calorie Sensitivity - Carbohydrate Sensitivity - Fat Sensitivity - Salt Sensitivity - Saturated Fat Sensitivity - Sugar Sensitivity - Weight Management
Vitamins and Minerals: Vitamin B6 Requirements - Vitamin B12 Requirements - Vitamin D Requirements - Iron Absorption
Sensitivities: Alcohol Metabolism - Caffeine Metabolism - Coeliac Disease - Food Additives Sensitivity - Lactose Tolerance
Food behaviour: Confectionery Consumption - Food Desire
Taste: Bitter Taste - Sweet Taste Preference
Take for example a simple DNA-based "nudge" to buy a cereal product that contains less calories or sugar. Within a year, such a simple swap could lead to an effortless weight loss of 3.5Kg (7.7pounds) or the reduction of sugar consumption by 7Kg (this is 1788 tablespoons of sugar). This means that even a single product change can in the long term have a significant health impact on an individual's health.
The DnaNudge test will not diagnose food allergies or other health conditions. We do not provide medical or dietetic advice, and we recommend always consulting a health professional before making changes to your diet. If as part of your lifestyle you wish to exclude specific ingredients, such as gluten, artificial colours or flavourings, you can let the app know, and a notification will appear at the bottom of the screen every time you scan an item that contains ingredients you wish to avoid.*
*Please note that this feature is not suitable for individuals with allergies, as we cannot guarantee that the product information we receive from manufacturers and other third party product datasets are accurate. We recommend that you always check product labels and ingredients to ensure they are suitable for you.
We don't conduct any measurement – our users will measure the benefits themselves, according to their individual goals.
The definition of success will differ from person to person – whether that's feeling healthier, having more energy, sleeping better, or weight management. You may have heard the saying "the best diet is the one you don't know that you are having."
With DnaNudge, it's your DNA that is guiding your choices.

There are many people who have been using UC Browser for a long time. In many ways UC browser is bloated with tons of apps and website shortcut, bundled UC news with no option to turn off.
A user asked us.
UC Browser offers so many functions and tons of customization options along with some bloatware in form of website and application shortcuts. And the UC news that I personally do not like because there is such no option to turn that thing off, I literally had to disable app notification to hide consistent notifications.
One more thing we are missing is the charging screen and Facebook notification which is enabled by default so it may be annoying things for a lot of users. In past UCBrowser was removed from the Google Play Store due to some play store policy violation.
If not mistaken the best feature UC mini offer is accelerated mobile pages where it cuts the page load time and serves them faster. This is useful for people living in an area where internet connectivity is poor. As far as we know no other browser offers such service (Google Chrome offers a similar service but that reduce load time serving compressed images).
Some annoying things about UC Browser.
- Forced newsfeed and notifications.
- Smart charge screen & FB notifications are enabled by default or button are on the way to manipulate user to accidentally enable them.
- User data is sent to some Chinese servers and due to this, it took off from the play store, while the Mini version is still in play store.
A glance of the mobile browser altertive to UC browser.
Google Chrome — Focused on stability, non-helter-skelter design, incognito mode, data saver mode, offline page save.

Also when you are in incognito mode you can quickly close all the Incognito tabs from the notification bar with a single tap. If you use Chrome Browser on your PC, using this mobile browser makes easier to use all of saved password on your mobile.

|FILE PHOTO - A U.S. Army soldier sits inside their military vehicle as he takes part in Operation Pacific Reach joint logistic exercise in Pohang, South Korea, April 11, 2017.
SEOUL - The U.S. military said on Saturday it has opened an investigation into fake mobile phone alerts and social media messages advising U.S. military personnel and their families to evacuate the Korean Peninsula.
The phony messages, which were spread on Thursday, came at a sensitive time, with tensions high after North Korea conducted its sixth and largest nuclear test on Sept. 3. The test and a series of missile launches have triggered a war of words between U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un.
U.S. Forces Korea (USFK) was not yet aware of how many people received the hoax messages or who was behind them, a spokesman for the USFK told Reuters.
The USFK posted a statement on its official Facebook page on Thursday making clear that the U.S. military did not issue any evacuation-related alerts.
It has also instructed all U.S. Department of Defense personnel and their family to confirm any evacuation-related communications before acting.
The USFK conducts regular biannual noncombatant evacuation operation (NEO) exercises in the spring and fall to rehearse for possible evacuation. The second NEO exercise of the year is scheduled to take place in October.

The eightfold path, in spite of the fact that alluded to as ventures on a way, isn't implied as a consecutive learning process, yet as eight parts of life, which are all to be incorporated in consistently life.
In Buddhism, the Noble Eightfold Path is implied as a rule, to be considered, to be examined, and to be gone up against when, and just when each progression is completely acknowledged as a major aspect of the life you look for. Buddhism never requests daze confidence, it looks to advance learning and a procedure of self-revelation.
Right Understanding
Right Thought
Right Speech
Right Action
Right Livelihood
Right Effort
Right Mindfulness
Right Concentration
Right Understanding:
The initial step of the eightfold way is Right Understanding or Right View.
This is a noteworthy advance on the way as it identifies with seeing the world and everything in it as it truly seems to be, not as we trust it to be or need it to be. Similarly as you may read the bearings on a guide, and afterward make the trip, contemplating, perusing and looking at the data is critical, yet just the arrangement for the excursion.
Right Intent:
The 2nd footstep on the Eightfold Path is Right Intention. It is where we end up noticeably dedicated to the way. Right Understanding demonstrates to all that life is truly what and what problems life can make.
Right Speech is the subsequent stage of the Path. We tend to belittle the energy of the talked word, and frequently lament words said in scramble. Each of us has encountered the failure related with brutal feedback, regardless of whether advocated or not, and we additionally are probably going to have felt great when kind words empowered us.
Right Action:
Right Action perceives the need to adopt the moral strategy in life, to consider others and the world we live in. This incorporates not taking what isn't given to us, and having regard for the understandings we make both in our private and business lives.
Right Livelihood:
The following on the Eightfold Path takes after on from Right Action, and this is Right Livelihood. In the event that your work has an absence of regard forever, at that point it will be a hindrance to advance on the otherworldly way.
Right Effort:
Right Effort implies developing an energy, an uplifting disposition balancedly. Like the strings of a melodic instrument, the measure of exertion ought not be excessively tense or excessively anxious, and also not very slack or excessively laid back.
Right Mindfulness:
While Right Effort is a simple idea for a large portion of us, Right Mindfulness is to some degree trickier to get a handle on, and may include a significant difference in considering.
Right Concentration:
Once the brain is uncluttered, it might then be concentrated to accomplish whatever is wanted. Right Concentration is turning the brain to concentrate on a protest, for example, a blossom, or a lit flame, or an idea, for example, adoring empathy.
