After a handful or more talks with some of my co-workers about body building and the lifestyle change made to accommodate it, here's what you need to know about what I'm eating.
It's understandable that when you tell someone that your eating between 5 -7 times a day they assume you're consuming a ridiculous amount of calories, but that's not always true. In my case I'm consuming around 1,600 calories every day, and I watch what I eat to make the most out of those calories. I used to see food as a comfort, and that's how I gained weight; now I see it as fuel to help grow and build my body. Without fuel a machine can't function properly and that's what our bodies are.
I use My Fitness Pal to track my macros.
Macro-nutrients- grams of protein, carbohydrates and fats
For my weightloss, fatloss and muscle building purposes, my calories are divided into 50% protein, 30% carbohydrates and 20% fats. As long as I hit these 3 goals or stay around them the calories don't really matter too much.
After inputting these percentages into My Fitness Pal calculates how many grams of each you should be consuming WITHOUT exercise. For me that means I should hit around 200 grams of protein, 120 grams of carbohydrates and 36 grams of fat. Sometimes I have less carbs or a little more fat (healthy fats found in food like avocado or nuts don't bother me if I go over) or some combination like that, but for the most part I hit these every day. I also increased my water intake to 150 ounces; one gallon of water is 128, so I'm consuming a little more than that.
The increased water intake help flush out your system of toxins such as lactic acid from lifting as well as preventing cramping your muscles after a rigorous workout. Since I've increased my water intake my skin is a little more clear (but I never had too much of a problem with skin), I rarely get headaches, I'm not bloated and it helps me stay fuller longer.
Back to the food!
To help speed up my metabolism and ensure that my macros are spread throughout the day, I started eating every 3 hours. I prep meals ahead of time, so it's not an inconvenience. Meal prep also ensures that I stick to my meal plan and always have something with me at work! I wake up and eat at 7 am EVERY DAY, even on the weekends. From there I eat every 2.5 to 3 hours. Here's an example of what I will eat and when in a day.
June 30, 2014 Meals: Calories: 1,455, fat: 40g, carbohydrates: 112gprotein: 178g
Meal 1 (breakfast foods)- 7 am
1 medium banana with 2 tbsp of Trader Joe's raw almond butter
2 egg whites
Meal 2- 10 am
12 ounces Price Chopper plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup raw blueberries
Meal 3- (lunch like foods) 1 pm
Post-workout shake: 1 scoop MHP Paleo Protein Powder Vanilla Almond and 1 cup of Silk Almond/Coconut Milk
Buffalo chicken
2 cups organic kale
5 cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup cucumber slices
Meal 4- 4 pm
1/2 cup lean ground turkey
1/2 medium green pepper
2 tsp Sriracha sauce
Meal 5- (dinner like foods) 7 pm
Quest Bar: Cookies and Cream (during gym workout meal)
Meal 6- (dinner like foods) 10 pm
4 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast
1/2 cup cauliflower
You'll notice that my meals have protein in each one, from egg whites, to Greek yogurt, to meat and protein bars. Sometimes I call my meals a snack, because it can be hard to think of yogurt and blueberries as a meal, but without amount of protein, it's very filling and well rounded with macro- and micro-nutrients (vitamins and minerals).
On this day I also did two workout sessions The first was in the gym and consisted of 54 minutes of shoulders, biceps and triceps lifting circuits: 456 calories burned. I also work a second job, where I stand and walk around a lot. In 238 minutes or almost 4 hours, I burned 673 calories. I track calories burned during this job because when sitting the average heart rate is about 70 bpm, when I'm walking around my job it ranges from 95 to 120 because of lifting furniture, boxes and just walking around.
The more you workout the more food or fuel you need. On this day, my protein jumped from 200g to 358 g; however, I don't consume that much protein. My Fitness Pal calculates your needs for weightloss without the consideration of exercise, so once you input your exercise data your goals shift based on the new needs of your body for the day.
What important to know about your body is how many calories you burn on a daily basis without exercise. This helps you figure out a base line for calorie consumption for weightloss without exercise. On average I burn about 2,300 calories a day without exercise, but I'm only consuming 1,600 calories; so I'm already running on a deficit, this is how you lose weight. It takes 3,500 calories burned to lose 1 pound. Adding in my calories burned from working out, I'm averaging 1.5 to 2.5 pounds weightloss a week.
A few posts ago, I mentioned that I'm lifting 3 days a week and doing cardio 3 days week. While many believe lifting weights bulks you up, which it can, it does so much more than that. Anaerobic exercise burns more calories because it takes longer time for your muscles to recover and your body takes that energy from fat stores. After a lifting session, you can continue to burn more calories an hour for 24 hours. While cardio burns many calories at the time, an aerobic workout stops it's benefits once you stop the workout. The more lean muscle you have the more calories you burn an hour as well.
Let's recap:
- So while I'm eating 5 to 7 times a day, I'm eating WHOLE foods, meaning things that are minimally processed and give me the most for the caloric value.
- Running on a deficit of calories helps you lose weight, but you still need to consume a good amount of macro-nutrients to rebuild, recover and fuel your body.
- Lifting weights helps burn more fat, while adding muscle because your body pulls from "storage" energy to help muscle recovery up to 24 hours post a lifting workout.
- The more you workout the more you can and should eat, not necessarily calories, but definitely macro-nutritents.
If you want to poke around for yourself, here are some links that will help you research more about bodybuilding and eating this way.

Recent Fraud and Scam Alerts
Sadly, while reports of scams and fraudulent activity were initially included with news items of interest on the site, it became clear that there were enough reports to merit a page of their own. Now we've collected enough to separate them by year.
Tennessee seniors deserve better than to be victimized in what should be their golden years. The best defensive strategy is knowledge and awareness of criminal behavior. It is much harder for con artists to succeed if you shut them out. Visit this page regularly for tips on the latest scams, targets, and appropriate responses. In almost every case, the headline for each warning is a link back to the full, original report.
The Better Business Bureau maintains its Scam Tracker online. You may also find useful information on AARP's Scams and Frauds and Fraud Watch Network pages, as well as this site's own page on combating fraud. Additionally, reports and tips regarding fraud are available online from the Office of Inspector General and the Federal Trade Commission.
And if you're here because you've already been a victim (or think you may be a victim) and want to know how to respond, visit: Scammed. Now What?
Medical Braces Scam
You may have already received calls during the past year about medical braces; you don't have to be suffering from a muskuloskeletal condition to have been contacted. Whether you need them or not, you do need to be aware of this international scam, a scam that has already collected the information of many thousands of Medicare beneficiaries for current, as well as potentially future, Medicare fraud.
Telemarketers have been casting their nets wide, looking for anyone who would believe they could receive medical grade braces for "free." There were television and radio ads, as well, encouraging people to call. In many cases, victims were offered equipment (back, knee and neck braces) they didn't even need. They may also have been referred to other fraudulent sources for additional services, or prescriptions, they likewise didn't need. But if victims provided their Medicare information, equipment may have been sent and Medicare fraudulently billed. That can create problems for victims in the future when attempting to access legitimate Medicare benefits.
Read the alert from the Department of Health and Human Services warning the public about this scam.

Social Security Administration Warns: Fraudulent Calls
From the Social Security Administration:
"We have become aware of reports of fraudulent telephone calls from individuals claiming to represent the Social Security Administration (SSA). In them, unknown callers are using threatening language to warn unknowing victims that they will be arrested or face other legal action if they fail to call a provided phone number or press the number indicated in the message to address the issue. In some instances, these unknown callers switch tactics and communicate that they want to help an individual with activating a suspended Social Security number. Such calls are a scam, and are not coming from official SSA representatives."
Do not engage with such callers, and "report any suspicious calls to Social Security's Office of the Inspector General by calling 1-800-269-0271 or submitting a report on the OIG website. We also urge you to read and share our Social Security Matters blog, which provides more information on the nature of these fraudulent calls, as well as instructions on how to report such activity."

Tennessee Dept. of Commerce Warns of Gift Card Scams
Nashville's WKRN News Channel 2 passes along a warning from the Tennessee Department of Commerce: Don't fall for scams requiring you to pay fake debts with a prepaid gift card; and when you do buy gift cards, buy from a known and trusted seller. The Department of Commerce and Insurance offers more information on scams, as well as a list of consumer alerts. WKRN also devotes a page to consumer alerts, including scams.

Be Cautious When Donating During and After Natural Disasters
The Federal Trade Commission is reminding the public to look closely at charities before donating during, or after, a natural disaster "because scammers are hoping that generous people like you, in your eagerness to help, won't do your homework so they can steal that money. The best way to avoid this and other kinds of charity fraud is to go online and do your research to make sure your money goes to a reputable organization."
This advice is good for any kind of disaster. In Tennessee, we are far more likely to experience loss from tornado outbreaks, fires or floods, but scammers will still look to take advantage of people with fraudulent offers of home repair or charitable collection. Again, always do your homework. The impulse to give is a good one, just don't do it impulsively. Giving your money to the wrong person or organization doesn't help the people who truly need assistance.
Visit the FTC's blog to begin learning about the best ways to safely and reliably help others.

Credit Card Fraud Tops List of Most Reported Scams in Nashville
Nashville's WKRN reminds us of some of the most common scams and quotes Metro Nashville Police Department's Sergeant Michael Warren about increasingly common phone scams: "Caller ID means nothing. Take a caller ID as a suggestion," said Sgt. Warren. "This may be who you are talking to but it's definitely not definitive of who you are talking to."
And remember: Anytime anyone pressures you to pay quickly a debt you question, and especially if someone pressures you to pay with a prepaid card, you should immediately become suspicious.

If You Get One of These Letters, Throw It Away
Nashville's News Channel 5 passes along a Better Business Bureau warning about a solicitation letter targeted primarily at senior citizens' fear of losing their Social Security benefits. These letters are asking for money, donations, to help pay for legislative efforts to protect Social Security. It looks official, but seniors are more than likely giving away their money to no good end.
As the story advises: If you want to help protect Social Security benefits, contact your elected officials and tell them how important the program is. It's something everyone can do, and it's free.

Scam Alert: If Your Own Number is Calling You, Don't Answer
If you see your own number appear in your caller ID, it's better not to answer. Nashville's WKRN shares a story about people answering calls from their own numbers only to be told their phone accounts have been "hacked." The callers then ask for verification of personal information, like a social security number. HANG UP.
Never provide personal information to strangers, whether in person or over the phone. If you receive a call from someone claiming to represent one of your utilities or service providers and they ask you for sensitive information, end the call and use a known, good number to contact the business yourself. That way, you can be sure about the person on the other end of the line before you begin sharing information that could be used to steal your identity or your money.

My Story
Born in Oklahoma, but raised in Ohio where I honed my wrestling and bowhunting skills. I moved to Oregon and made my home in Eugene at the age of 21. Less than a year later I embarked on my martial arts journey in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ). After a few years I expanded my studies to include Muay Thai, Jeet Kun Do, and Judo. My work history started in manufacturing which cultivated a strong mechanical background. In 2005 I left manufacturing to start my martial arts career at Northwest Martial Arts. After many years of training and competing I help found Rise Fighting Championships a mixed martial arts promotion. I have been privileged to learn and train under some of the best BJJ instructors in the world such as Royler Gracie and work with legendary fighters like UFC Champ BJ Penn and Pide competitor Renato "Charuto" Verissimo. In 2012 I received my black belt in BJJ and did my part to bring Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to the masses. Around the same I was involved in a motorcycle accident which resulted in serious head and neck injuries causing sever and frequent migraine headaches.
Unable to teach or train martial arts anymore I was searching for my next direction in life. I bought a HK USP45 for my first pistol and a left handed leather holster. After a short time the leather holster began to collapse and I began searching for a kydex holster. At the time there was only one company making holsters for my lefty model. Not finding what I was looking for I decided to make my own. After extensive research and making plenty of holsters and sheaths for friends and family… Highlander Custom Holsters was born. Hand making holsters blended my love for self defense, the second amendment, and American made products.

There are many different human skin colors around
the world. Before the mass global migrations of
people during the last 500 years, dark skin color
was mostly concentrated near the equator, living
mostly within 20 degrees of the equator. Lighter
skin pigmented people lived progressively further
away mostly in the northern hemisphere north of 20
latitude.Skin color varies from a very dark brown
to yellow-pink. Researchers know today that skin
color is determined by a complex structure of
multiple genes.Encoded in the genes are
the pigments responsible for different color
range:Carotene, Hemoglobin, and most importantly
Melanin. Skin color is due mainly to the presence
of melanin which comes in two forms: Pheomelanin
produced by people with light complexioned skin,
and Eumelanin produced by people with dark
colored skin. In lighter skin, color is also
affected by hemoglobin in theblood flowing close
to the skin. Skin color is also affected by the
presencecarotene.More importantly in determining
skin color, people differ in the number and size
of melanin particles in their skin.The
development of different skin pigmentation in
evolutionary and is part of natures natural
selection. Nature has selected for people with
darker skin in tropical latitudes, where
ultraviolet radiation from the sun is the most
intense. Melanin acts as a protective biological
shield against ultraviolet radiation. Melanin in
the skin helps prevent sunburn and skin damage
that could cause DNA changes and skin cancer. But
melanin must not shield the skin completely. A
certain amount of ultraviolet radiation (UVB) must
penetrate the skin in order for the body to
produce vitamin D, which is very important for our
body. It is needed for the absorption of calcium
for bone growth in order to maintain normal heart
action and a healthy nervous system. Nature
selects for less melanin when ultraviolet
radiation is weak. This is why people who live in
far northern latitudes have lighter skin. Having
dark skin in this environment, is a disadvantage
because it can prevent the body from producing
enough vitamin D.
We have different genes that determine how much
color our skin cells make.The brown color comes
from a molecule called melanin. And of course it
depends on how much sunlight our skin gets - the
ultraviolet light in sunlight causes our skin
cells to make melanin.

Many of you have probably experienced some of the problems winter has caused for people this year – bursting pipes, auto accidents, health issues, etc. We hope you are all taking measures to stay warm, safe, and healthy!
Here are a few tips we hope will help you through this harsh winter:
- Open cabinet doors under sinks to allow heat to enter and keep pipes from freezing.
- Keep a small, continuous stream of water running from the cold water faucet (the size of the water stream should be about the size of a pencil).
- Locate the water shut-off valve in advance. This is the valve that controls the flow of water into the house. It's usually located near the hot water heater, in the basement or utility closet. Turning off the water in he event of a burst pipe can minimize the damage.
- Cover the vents to crawl spaces.
- If exterior faucets have shut-off valves inside, be sure to turn these off and open the exterior valve so it can drain out.
- If you have a vacant home or building, set the heat to above 58 degrees.
- Do not leave space heaters unattended to reduce the risk of fire.
- Keep a first aid kit and blanket in your car in case of emergencies.
- Review your home and auto insurance policies to be sure you are covered in the case of a burst pipe or auto accident.
- Keep distance from those you know are sick and wash your hands often.
- Disinfect door and cabinet handles at your home and office, as well as office supplies, such as staplers, that are used by various people. Disinfectant wipes are an easy and effective way to do this.
Everyone at BLAZE Products wishes you a safe and warm winter!

A Cute Way to Capture Your Child's Words
Thursday August 12, 2010see more by jen
Moms have the best ideas. I went to a friend's house for a play date yesterday and on her dining table she had these darling glass jars with notes inside. On each note (with the date) was a "sentence" or "saying" or basically something her girls had said that she would want to remember. I thought what a cute way to capture your child's words!
I can't tell you how many things I WISH I had written down that I didn't. i was so good with Emma's first year, then after that I feel like all my documentation went out the window.
With this idea, you don't have to dig out your baby book or search for somewhere to write it down. And with the pretty display containers, these special sayings become a part of your family decor. I love it. I am going to do one for each girl.
Just the other night Emma and I were looking at the sky, and the first star came out, so we did "Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might, have this wish I wish tonight." And she said, with grand gesture, "I wish for a huge birthday cake that reaches from here to the sky and for all my friends to come eat it!" Now that would be one for the note cards!
Thanks Susanne for the amazing idea!
Love this idea. My favorite way to capture my kid's cuteness is by using Kidlee.com. It's kind of like twitter for families! Check it out!
I've never heard of that site! I will definitely check it out! Thanks for sharing :-)!

I love this idea Jen! I just bought 4 beautiful glass jars and this would be perfect. My son just said to me yesterday that he can't wait to grow up and become Shamu. When we asked him why, he said" because I want to swim and splash people". Love it!
Hi guys,
So I am super excited because I thought of a way to make it easier. I bought one of these personalized note pad sets for each girl:
And said,
Emma's (top)
Special Sayings & Cute Quotes (bottom)
And also one for Morgan.
HOW cute is that?! And it means I don't have to write who said what. I just have to write the date and quote.

4. Fill bottom of a roasting pan with ½ – ¾ rock salt; set roast on bed of salt [This was my Grandpa Walt's method, and my dad's recipe.].
5. Cook roast in oven until desired temperature is reached. (see chart below.)
6. Remove from oven, cover and let rest for 15-25 minutes.
Temps + resting
Cook meat 5 degrees below desired temperature, it will continue cooking up to 5 more degrees, to reach desired temperature.
110-115 – rare
120-125 – medium rare
130-135 – medium
140-145 – medium well
150-155 – well done

Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said Sunday that government insurance was "not the essential element" of an overhaul, and that a Senate proposal to create nonprofit cooperatives could be an alternative way of creating new competition for insurance companies to drive down costs.
Erm, sorry, but no.
From a piece in FireDogLake:
- "The cooperatives' potential to reduce overall premiums is limited because (1) they lack sufficient leverage as a result of their limited market share; (2) the cooperatives have not been able to produce administrative cost savings for insurers; or (3) their state laws and regulations already restrict to differing degrees the amount insurers can vary the premiums charged different groups purchasing the same health plan."
- "There's a lot of GOP leadership in that above list [that oppose co-ops], but even more importantly, two out of the three Republican Senators negotiating themselves oppose co-ops. Senator Grassley is opposed and Senator Enzi is really opposed. "

Some excerpts from the second chapter of The Conquest of Illusion
Our image of reality
by J.J. Van Der Leeuw (1929)
The primitive and unthinking way of explaining sense-perception implies that, through the senses, a faithful image of the world around us is reproduced in our consciousness in such a way that image and reality are exactly alike. In order to explain this process still further we compare it to the action of a photographic camera, where through the lens an entirely accurate and faithful picture is reproduced on the sensitive plate. Satisfied with that explanation we sink back into our unquestioning acceptance of the world around us, glad that everything is so simple and never suspecting that we have not explained anything at all. How the image reaches our consciousness through the darkness of the sensory nerves and the brain matter is a question which does not even occur in the primitive explanation. And yet, even if the senses produced a faithful image of the world surrounding us, that image again would have to be perceived by the consciousness and with regard to the perception of that image we should find ourselves faced by exactly the same difficulty as with regard to the perception of the outer world itself. We have merely shifted the problem one step, and, to the unthinking mind, such a shifting or re-statement of a problem is generally quite acceptable by way of explanation. However, the image which the senses give us of the world around can never be a faithful one; our senses are selective and can only interpret those elements of the world around us to which they are able to respond. Thus, in the case of sound and light, we need only look at a table of vibrations in air and ether to realize how extremely small the groups of vibrations are to which eye and ear react. With regard to all the other vibrations we are practically insensitive, we only know them by inference.
It is a very useful exercise to think ourselves into a state of consciousness, where those elements of the world around us, to which our senses respond now, would be non-existent and the contents of our world-image would be furnished by elements to which our present senses do not respond. Imagine two beings meeting and comparing their knowledge of the world, a human being with our five senses and an imaginary being with the senses we lack. Each of them would be aware of a world around him, each of them, unless they were philosophers, would be quite certain that he perceived the world exactly as it was there, outside, and that he perceived all there was to be perceived of it. Yet their two worlds would be utterly unlike; could we for a moment perceive the other being's world there would be nothing in it familiar to us or resembling any feature of our world. And yet, the other being would have as much right to call his world the real world, as we should have to call ours the world as it really is. But from the standpoint of reality no one has a right to call his world *the* world; it is *his* world and nothing more, his selective interpretation of reality.
With the understanding of this truth our primitive explanation of sense-perception as a faithful reproduction of the world around us collapses, and our world-image, far from being identical with the real world, becomes but our specific interpretation of that world; our world is but *our* version of *the* world. It is well to ponder deeply over this very simple fact of the selectivity of our senses and thoroughly familiarize ourselves with the idea that what we see around us is not the world at all, but rather the peculiar interpretation of that world which we as human beings, because of the nature of our five senses, make. It is not sufficient to agree intellectually with this and say that the argument is clear and that we acknowledge it to be true; philosophy must be realization if it is to be worth anything, and the truth we realize must become part of our very consciousness; Our innate superstition that the world we see is *the* world indeed is so deeply ingrained in our nature that it will rise again and again and make us believe that our world-image is the world in reality. Our primitive illusions need to be rudely shaken before a wider knowledge can be born.

When it comes to travelling, oceans and mountains aren't the sole destinations you can pick. In fact, in the last couple of years, cities have become the most wanted and desired holidays in both winter and summer. Why is that? Mainly because people are picking a metropolis just because of comforts, hotels, museums, arts and architecture. To sum up, the concrete jungle is literally taking over nature when it comes to travels. Let's analyse the matter in more detail with the best 5 cities you can pick for your holiday.
Number 1: New York
When you think about a concrete jungle, New York is probably the first city which comes to mind. In 2018, New York was picked as "the most desired city to visit" by 3 different travelling agencies.

Lawyers live and die by deadlines, and law students who plan to take a bar exam must pay close attention to deadlines also. A state bar can and will refuse to let you sit for the exam if your application is late. If you plan to take the bar exam in Georgia in July, your character and fitness application is due the first week of December. For details, go to the Office of Bar Admissions website. For other states, a good place to start is at the website of the National Conference of Bar Examiners, which has an online guide to bar requirements for all states, including links to each state's bar admissions office.
Please read all bar-related rules carefully and enter deadlines into your planner!

|Nala (back to camera) and Strelka in the woods
67.12 min - 10.1 km.
Took female Golden Nala for a run after a long break. Her and Strelka, her male twin.
She hasn't really regained form after giving birth to eight puppies two years ago, but is a happy active dog. Time doesn't matter, she can do it in her own pace and the rest of us will just follow.
It had been raining and there were puddles on the road and water in ditches. I went down to a slow pace to let Nala enjoy her run. Boy, she did!
And noticed: halfway into my usual 6-mile circuit both Goldens started running through puddles and and jumping into the ditches to gallop through the stream. It's fun for them but it's also a natural way for dogs to cool their paws.

Background: Intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) has been sucessfullyused in the treatment of venous ulcers, although the optimal setting of preassure, inflation and deflationtimes has not yet been established. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of two differentcombinations of IPC pump settings (rapid vs slow) in the healing of venous ulcers. Material/Methods:104 patients with pure venous ulcers were randomized to receive either rapid IPC or slow IPC for onehour daily. The primary and secondary end points were the complete healing of the reference ulcer andthe change in the area of the ulcer over the six months observational period, respectively. Results:Complete healing of the reference ulcer occurred in 45 of the 52 patients treated with rapid IPC, andin 32 of the 52 patients treated with slow IPC. Life table analysis showed that the proportion of ulcershealed at six months was 86% in the group treated with the fast IPC regimen, compared with 61% in thegroup treated with slow IPC (p=0.003, log-rank test). The mean rate of healing per day in the rapid IPCgroup was found to be significantly faster compared to the slow IPC group (0.09 cm(2) vs 0.04 cm(2),p=0.0002). Conclusions: Treatment with rapid IPC healed venous ulcers more rapidly and in more patientsthan slow IPC. Both IPC treatments were well tolerated and accepted by the patients.These data suggestthat the rapid IPC used in this study is more effective than slow IPC in venous ulcer healing.

Did you know that it's easy (really!) to enhance and maintain water clarity in your ornamental ponds?
Here's how ...
The secret is to maintain a balanced ecosystem (pH around 6-7) which is a fancy way of saying that you need the RIGHT kind of bacteria to flourish.
During the winter months, bacteria becomes dormant. Start by seeding your bio-filter with beneficial bacteria (available at your local pond supply store, PetSmart, or online) - depending on the size of your pond, this will take approximately 7-10 days before your will notice a change in the climate of your pond with ever-increasing improvements noted daily.

20 percent of children between the ages of 10 and 17 have been the victims of unsolicited sexual advances online. Three fourths of them never tell their parents or another adult. Seven out of ten of these advances occur on the children's home computer. What's scariest, is that many of these, after lengthy and multiple online conversations that gain the child's trust, finally culminate in a face to face meeting.
A software firm has just introduced a brand new product for parents and guardians that will help keep their children safe from these Internet predators.
This Web alert product lets parents monitor and block not only sites but email and instant messaging capabilities, sources and destinations.
What this new software will do is record children's emails, their chats and their instant messages. It will record the sites they visit, the applications they use, the files they access, and their keystrokes. It can take screenshots of the online activity, block specific email, chatting or IM, or all of any of them. It can block specific games and application, and set up automatic keyword detection. How the latter would work is that the parent or guardian would specific the keywords about which they want to be alerted. A danger alert can be activated as well.
All of these Internet child safety functions would work simultaneously on the computer and would save the data to a location that is hidden from the computer user and available only to the designated parent(s) or guardian for their access and perusal.
This child Internet safety software will be available any day now with major office product retailers for about $50.Â

By ABDULHAKIM SHERMAN
The Competitions Authority of Kenya has asked the Agriculture and Food Authority to immediately institute investigations against the Kenya Tea Development Agency (KTDA) over allegations of monopolistic tendencies.
The competitions body says that it has received complaints from Kiru Tea Factory Company Ltd (KTFC) that KTDA has created monopolistic tendencies to the extend that it vetoes, invalidates and vets decisions and resolutions of the tea company without any legality.
A letter dated September 21, 2018 written by, Ms Stella Onyancha, Director Competition and Consumer Protection at the Competitions Authority of Kenya says that KTDA Holdings Ltd and KTDA Management Services Ltd have been accused of misguiding Kiru Tea Factory Company Ltd and offering wrong opinions and implementing them with impunity.
Ms Onyancha's letter to the Agriculture and Food Authority says in Part; "Our position is that you should seize of this matter and conclude it as per the law governing your mandate. In case your law does not provide for the above, we wish to advise the need to revise it and include such powers."
Ms Onyancha added that the issue concerning KTDA alleged monopolistic tendencies and the need for them to be regulated by the Agriculture and Food Authority had been communicated to the Senate Ad hoc committee on tea sector in Kenya.

The latest allegations against KTDA follows the release of a report Tea Industry Status Reportprepared by the Tea Board of Kenya that says tea farmers are not being paid any dividends from KTDA subsidiaries contrary to the law.
TheTea Industry Status Reportsays while KTDA has used farmers resources to establish seven subsidiary companies, farmers are not being paid any dividends by the seven companies.
The KTDA affiliate companies include KTDA Holdings Ltd owned by tea factories which belong to farmers, KTDA Management Services Ltd, which oversees tea cultivation, payments, processing and trading and Chai Trading Company Ltd that undertakes tea trading and warehousing.
Others are Majani Insurance Brokers, involved in insurance and tea warehousing, Kenya Tea Packers Ltd, that undertakes tea blending, packaging and marketing, Greenland Fedha, that offers microfinance services, KTDA Power Company Ltd, involved in energy investment and power generation and KTDA Foundation that does corporate social responsibility initiatives.
The runaway problems in the tea sector come at a time President Uhuru Kenyatta has expressed his reservations at the way the Cabinet Secretary for Agriculture Mwangi Kiunjuri is handling the agriculture docket.

During the Nairobi Agriculture Show of Kenya the president warned the CS that he risked being sacked if he did not address the problems facing maize farmers in Rift Valley after more than Sh 2.5billion set aside to pay them was misappropriated.
And during the Mashujaa Day celebrations in Kakamega County, President Kenyatta reiterated his warning to the Agriculture CS that unless he dealt with cartels exploiting sugar farmers in western and the country at large he risked being prosecuted as well.
Tea farmers have also accused the Agriculture CS of failing to address the problems facing the tea sector especially underhand dealings at KTDA that are denying them billions of shillings in dividends and bonuses.
The letter from the Competitions Authority of Kenya says that KTDA has been accused of failing to be transparent, accountable and participatory in its marketing, investments, strategies and operations and is overcharging Kiru Tea Factory Company Ltd on management fees at a rate of 2.5 percent.
"KTDA have failed and underperformed on compliance issues hence making KTFC suffer excessive penalties by KRA due to non-performance of the management agent," the letter Competitions Authority of Kenya says.
It adds that KTDA has ignored the objective terms and conditions of the management agreement and the legal identity and independence of KTFC, its Board of Directors and individual directors.

His irony and freedom of tone remind me of the best of recent Polish literature. He jostles the usual categories, the most inveterate clichés. The picture of the country he depicts, looks very dire and the prospects disturbing. But the very existence of such free and intelligent minds in Ukraine offers a good reason not to lose hope".

Our winning design will be printed on to 250 jute bags to give away to readers - so shoppers will be walking around with your design emblazoned on their bag.
You could choose a nature theme or a green theme. You could incorporate the Coventry Telegraph into your design or Coventry and Warwickshire itself could be your inspiration.
The only limit is your imagination!
Your design can have a maximum of four colours and it can be 26cm wide by 25cm high.
The bag is a digestive biscuit colour, so you need to bear this in mind to make sure the colours work.
The design needs to be bold, with no fine lines or small details. Simplicity is the key.
Send your entries to: Features Department, Coventry Telegraph, Corporation Street, Coventry CV1 1FP. Please include your name and address and a daytime telephone number.
All entries must be received by Friday, April 18.

Science Says THIS Simple Dietary Change Is The Key To Losing Weight
According to two recent studies, cutting down on refined sugars and eating more good fats is the key to triggering rapid health improvements.
RIP low-fat diets. According to two recent studies, cutting down on sugary food – processed carbohydrates, especially – can trigger rapid health improvements.
One study, conducted by a team of Harvard researchers, concluded that a diet higher in fat is best for trimming the waistline. The team scoured databases looking for randomized, controlled trials – the preferred standard for dietary research – and compared the weight-loss effects of low-fat diets to other regiments like low-carb. Fifty-three studies met their research criteria.
Their findings, published in the British journal The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology, determined that low-carbohydrate diets "led to significantly greater weight loss" than low-fat ones.
Reports Mother Jones, those who were assigned low-fat diets tended to lose a small amount of weight compared to no-change-in-diet control groups. However, those cutting carbohydrates from their meals delivered better results thanreducing dietary fat.
"The science does not support low-fat diets as the optimal long-term weight loss strategy," stated lead author Deirdre Tobias of Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School.
This isn't the first study concluding a fat-based diet to deliver health benefits. Just last month, it was reported that a high-fat, low carbohydrate diet could be the key to naturally healing schizophrenia.
Diets high in refined sugar – which are, unfortunately, becoming the norm indeveloped nations – are likely contributing to many diseases of affluence, and that's exactly what this next study suggests.
The study, led by Robert Lustig – a longtime sugar critic and a pediatric endocrinologist at the University of California, identified 43 kids diagnosed withobesity and metabolic syndrome – defined as a cluster of conditions associated with the risk cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes – and changed their diets.
For ten days, the kids were served catered meals with caloric amounts equivalent to their previous diets but with all foods with added sugars removed; they were instead replaced with starches. Their overall sugar intake went from 28% to 10% (naturally sweet foods, like fruit, were allowed).
The results were summarized by Lustig in an op-ed:
"Diastolic blood pressure decreased by five points. Blood fat levels dropped precipitously. Fasting glucose decreased by five points, glucose tolerance improved markedly, insulin levels fell by 50%. In other words we reversed their metabolic disease in just 10 days, even while eating processed food, by just removing the added sugar and substituting starch, and without changing calories or weight. Can you imagine how much healthier they would have been if we hadn't given them the starch?"
His latest study may not be conclusive, as the team he led did not include a control group, but it is suggestive that diets high in refined sugar contribute to obesity.
All in all, both studies reinforce an emerging consensus that good fats play an important role in a healthy individual's diet, and that foods that include refined sugar should be limited for optimal health.
What are your thoughts? Please comment below and share these findings!

Topology in Plain English (26th Jan 1998).
Abstract: My aim is to introduce you to the basic ideas of topology without excessive formalism (but not without definitions). I will introduce the notions of topological space, homeomorphism, product space and identification space. All of this will provide us with enough background to move on to the definition of a manifold which is really what we want to understand.
Continuity in Plain English (2nd Feb 1998).
Abstract: There seems to be some need to review the notions of continuity and its relation to open sets. In this brief review I will begin with familiar notion of a limit and show how it relates to continuity. I will also introduce open sets in the real line and show how they relate to continuity. This is will all end by proving the main theorem on continuity. All of this will provide further motivation for studying topology and manifolds.
Further Topology in Plain English (9th Feb 1998).
Abstract: Now that we understand continuity and open sets, we will proceed with more topological considerations. We will discuss subspace topologies, product topologies, and identification spaces. The latter will generalize to the notion of a manifold.
There is an example of the the theorem on level sets (as identification spaces) worked out in the notes.
Manifolds in Plain English (16th Feb 1998).
Abstract: So far we looked at notion of continuity and generalized it so that we could investigate complicated spaces. Now, we will add to this generalization, the notion of differentiation. The most interesting complex spaces that we can investigate this way are called manifolds. Our aim is to understand the definition of manifolds and how it relates to the notion of an identification space.
We will look in detail at several manifolds that arise in classical computer vision problems.
Further Manifolds in Plain English (23th Feb 1998).
Abstract: In this talk, I will further explore the notion of a differential structure of a manifold. My aim is to show you that this notion is as important to the definition of a manifold as the notion of an open set is to a topological space. In fact it defines what we mean by a "derivative."
We will also define functions (in fact differentiable functions) between manifolds and investigate what their graphs look like. This will have rather surprising implications for medical imaging research (yes, the stuff we do).
Tangent Spaces in Plain English (2 March 1998).
Abstract: In this talk I will discuss the notion of tangent vectors and tangent spaces of manifolds. This is probably the single biggest obstacle to going from extrinsic to intrinsic differential geometry. So I will go over this slowly - we will spend the entire talk just discussing tangent vectors and spaces. Also, I expect to run over time - we have a lot to cover.
Affine Connections in Plain English (9th March 1998).
Abstract: After defining tangent spaces, the next major conceptual issue is that of generalizing the notion of parallel vectors and geodesics. All of this can be handled by defining a sort of derivative of tangent vectors called the affine connection. In this talk I will introduce the affine connection and discuss in detail.
Towards the end of the talk I will briefly survey Riemannian geometry using affine connections.
Differential Geometry of Curves (30th March 1998).
Abstract: While the most interesting and representive part of classical differential geometry is the study of surfaces, some local properties of curve appear more naturally. We will discuss several important concepts regarding curve characteristics, including parameterization, arc length, Frenet trihedron, the fundamental theorem of the local theory, and the local canonical form.
Regular Surfaces (6th April 1998).
Abstract:We will introduce the basic concept of regular surfaces, which are defined as sets rather maps. Some criteria are presented which are helpful in deciding whether a given sets is a regular surface.
Fundamental Forms of Surfaces (13th April 1998).
Abstract:We start out discussing the tangent planes of a regular surface. We then study the first and second fundamental forms, which will be continued in the following week(s).
Surface Curvatures (20th April 1998).
Abstract:We will look into the concepts of curvatures (normal, Gaussian, Mean, and the principal ones). Further, we will discuss how to calculate these curvatures within local coordinate representation, and from discrete surface representations. We will also touch upon surface classification using Koenderink shape index function.

Biography: Ibn Qudaamah al-Maqdisee (d.620H)Published by Ybose en 13:57
Ibn Qudaamah al-Maqdisee (d.620H)
His name and lineage :
He was Muwaffiq-ud-Deen Abu Muhammad 'Abdullah bin Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Qudaamah bin Miqdaam bin Nasr bin 'Abdillaah Al-Maqdisee, who later became Ad-Dimashqee, As-Saalihee.
His Birth :
He was born in the month of Sha'ban in 541H in a small town of Jamma'eel in Palestine.
His Early Life and Travels :
He entered the city of Damascus with his family when he was ten years old. There, he memorized the Qur'aan, as well as the abridged form of Al-Kharqee (a Hanbalee book of fiqh).
He and his cousin, the Haafidh 'Abd-ul-Ghanee Al-Maqdisee (rahimahullaah), traveled to Baghdad in 561H, where they heard much from many scholars that were present there.
He acquired so much knowledge and understanding of the Religion that he surpassed the companions of his study gatherings, showing an extraordinary ability. Thus, the knowledge of the (Hanbalee) madh-hab and its principles fell upon his shoulders.
His Piety and Abstinence :
He was pious, abstentious of the worldly life and consciously submissive to Allaah. He held revereance and prestige. He had leniency and tolerance and all of his time was spent absorbed with seeking knowledge and implementing action. He would counter false disputing with solid arguments and concrete evidences. And he would not become enraged and aroused, while on the other hand his opponents would scream and become furious with anger.
His Teachers :
Shaikh Ibn Qudaamah (rahimahullaah) acquired knowledge from a vast amount of scholars of his time. The most famous among them were Taqee ud-Deen Abu Muhammad 'Abd-ul-Ghanee Al-Maqdisee (d. 612H) and the Faqeeh of Iraq, the counselor to Islaam, Abul-Fath Nasr Ibn Fatyaan, better known as Ibn Al-Mannee.
His Students :
He had many students, the most famous of whom were Shihaab-ud-Deen Abu Shaamah Al-Maqdisee (d. 665H) and the Haafidh Zakee-ud-Deen Abu Muhammad Al-Mundhiree (d. 656H), as welll as other.
The Statements of the Scholars about him :
Abu 'Amr Ibn as-Salaah (rahimahullaah) said : "I have not seen the likes of Shaikh Al-Muwaffaq."
Ibn Taimiyyah (rahimahullaah) said: "No one possessing more understanding of the Religion entered Shaam, after Al-Awzaa'ee, other Shaikh Al-Muwaffaq."
Al-Mundhiree (rahimahullaah) said: "He was the Faqeeh, the Imaam. He narrated hadeeth in Damascus, issued legal rulings (fataawaa) and taught classes. He authored many books, both short and long, on the subject of Fiqh, as well as other subjects."
Adh-Dhahabee (rahimahullaah) said: "He was one of the eminent Imaams and an author of many books."
Ibn Katheer (rahimahullaah) said: "He was the Shaikh-ul-Islaam, an Imaam, a scholar, outstandingly proficient. There was not found in his era nor before it by a long span of time, anyone possessing more (understanding of) Fiqh than him."
His written works :
The written works of Imaam Al-Muwaffaq are many and they reach the level of the excellence of scholars. Ibn Rajab (rahimahullaah) said: "Shaikh Al-Muwaffaq has authored many excellent books on the (Hanbalee) madh-hab, both on fundamental (Usool) as well as subsidiary issues (Furoo'), on Hadeeth, the (Arabic) language, Zuhd (Abstinence) and Raqaa'iq (heart-softening material). His books on the subject of Usool-ud-Deen reach a level of high-quality. Many of them were written according to the way of the hadeeth scholars, thus they are loaded with ahadeeth of the Prophet, reports of the Salaf and chains of narration. This was the methodology employed by Imaam Ahmad as well as other hadeeth scholars."
From these books are the following :
On Fiqh:Al-Mughnee (in 10 volumes), Al-Kaafee (in 4 volumes), Al-'Uddah, Al-'Umdah, Al-Muqn'a
On 'Aqeedah:Lum'at ul-'Itiqaad, Al-Qadar, Dhamm-ut-Ta'weel
On Usool-ul-Fiqh:Rawdat-un-Naadhir
On Raqaa'iq and Zuhd: Al-Riqqah wal-Bukaa, At-Tawwaabeen
On Hadeeth: Mukhtasar 'Ilal-ul-Hadeeth Lil-Khilaal
He has authored other books as well, which are now between the stages of print and manuscript. We ask Allaah that He enable us to see this light of guidance at a near time.
Imaam Ibn Qudaamah passed away in 620H, may Allaah have mercy on him.

The Last Trip To Tulsa
Neil Young

관련 동영상 안 보기
Well, I used to drive a cab,
you know
I heard a siren scream
Pulled over to the corner
And I fell into a dream
There were
two men eating pennies
And three young girls who cried
The West coast is falling,
I see rocks in the sky.
The preacher took his bible
And laid it on the stool.
He said: with
the congregation running,
Why should I play the fool?
Well, I used to be a woman,
you know
I took you for a ride,
I let you fly my airplane
It looked good for your pride.
'Cause you're
the kind of man you know
Who likes what he says.
I wonder what's it's like
To be so far over my head.
Well, the lady made the wedding
And she brought along the ring.
She got down on her knees
And said: Let's
get on with this thing.
Well, I used to be a folk singer
Keeping managers alive,
When you saw me on a corner
And told me I was jive.
So I unlocked your mind, you know
To see what I could see.
If you guarantee the postage,
I'll mail you back the key.
Well I woke up in the morning
With an arrow through my nose
There was an Indian in the corner
Tryin' on my clothes.
Well, I used to be asleep
you know
With blankets on my bed.
I stayed there for a while
'Til they discovered I was dead.
The coroner was friendly
And I liked him quite a lot.
If I hadn't 've been a woman
I guess I'd never have been caught.
They gave me back my house and car
And nothing more was said.
Well, I was driving
down the freeway
When my car ran out of gas.
Pulled over to the station
But I was afraid to ask.
The servicemen were yellow
And the gasoline was green.
Although I knew I couldn't
I thought that I was gonna scream.
That was on my last trip to Tulsa
Just before the snow.
If you ever need a ride there,
Be sure to let me know.
I was chopping down a palm tree
When a friend dropped by to ask
If I would feel less lonely
If he helped me swing the axe.
I said: No, it's
not a case of being lonely
We have here,
I've been working on this palm tree
For eighty seven years
I said: No, it's
not a case of being lonely
We have here,
I've been working on this palm tree
For eighty seven years
He said: Go get lost!
And walked towards his Cadillac.
I chopped down the palm tree
And it landed on his back.
