text: The last two posts I wrote had a unifying theme: oxidative damage. The first post explored tissue-specific oxidative damage experienced by hibernating mammals. The second detailed how scientists are using mitochondria-specific antioxidants to limit oxidative damage in muscles while maintaining proper muscle cell signaling and function. While I think these specific occurrences of oxidative damage are fascinating, I think it's important to take a step back and talk about oxidative damage and stress in a more general way. What is oxidative damage? Before answering this question, I'll take one more step back and explain what oxidation and reduction are. When a compound loses electrons, it is oxidized. When a compound gains electrons (and this is where it gets a little confusing to me), it is reduced. A common example of oxidation is found in the rusting process. When iron gives electrons to oxygen, iron is oxidized and oxygen is reduced to produce rust. Perhaps a bit more interesting than the oxidation of iron is the oxidation that is constantly occurring in every one of your cells: the oxidation of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, or NADH. NADH is an important part of the electron transport chain, which is the series of proteins located in the mitochondria (the "powerhouses" of your cells) that transfer electrons from electron donors (like NADH) to electron acceptors (like oxygen). This transfer drives proton transport, which ultimately produces adenosine triphosphate (ATP), our essential cellular energy currency. The electron transport chain in the cell is the site of oxidative phosphorylation. The NADH and succinate generated in the citric acid cycle are oxidized, releasing energy to power the ATP synthase. Via Wikimedia. Oxygen molecules that have grabbed electrons from NADH are highly unstable and are quick to react with macromolecules in the cell, including DNA, lipids (fats) and amino acids (the building blocks of proteins). The interaction of these so-called reactive oxygen species (ROS) can interfere with macromolecular structure and function. Essentially, this is the process of oxidative damage. Importantly, ROS can also be taken into the body through ingestion or inhalation of environmental pollutants. These include cigarette smoke, pesticides, some household cleaners and ozone. (For more on the basics of oxidation/reduction and ROS, consult this thorough review.) What is the difference between oxidative damage and oxidative stress? This question is simpler to answer. I've already described the process of oxidative damage: ROS interference with macromolecular structure and function. But how does this process relate to oxidative stress? Basically, oxidative stress is a state of overwhelming oxidative damage. Oxidative damage can be counteracted by compounds we've all heard of: antioxidants. Antioxidants produced by our bodies or ingested through the food we eat essentially neutralize ROS, preventing these wild molecules from damaging our macromolecules. Even if you are a non-smoker living in a pristine, unpolluted environment, your mitochondria are constantly pumping out reactive oxygen species. Fortunately, your body is also continually producing antioxidants. When ROS and antioxidants are present in similar quantities, these two types of compounds balance each other out and little to no oxidative stress is present. It is when ROS outnumber available antioxidants that oxidative damage can spin out of control and become oxidative stress. Editor's note: It's important to point out that ROS are not inherently "bad" – in fact, ROS are very important signaling molecules in the body. ROS are formed in response to metabolism and activities such as exercise, and actually activate adaptive stress responses such as production of natural antioxidants in the body. It is for this reason that taking strong antioxidant supplements, beyond consumption of naturally antioxidant-rich foods, can in cases be detrimental, for example by blocking adaptive stress responses when taken before exercise. However, here we are mostly considering the impacts of an overabundance of ROS. Berries, along with other fruits and vegetables, often contain powerful antioxidants. What are the health implications of oxidative damage/stress? As ROS can damage the very building blocks of life, it is intuitive that long-term, unchecked oxidative stress can have deleterious effects on the body. Oxidative damage and stress are associated with many diseases, including cancer, atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), diabetes and neurogenerative diseases (illnesses that impair brain and nervous system function). Oxidative stress is also thought to accelerate aging, although this theory remains controversial. Even though ROS are continuously being internally produced and externally introduced, there are many ways in which we can work to limit the amount of damage that these molecules can cause. Minimizing and coping with stress is an essential strategy in supporting health. Physiological stress, such as that experienced through school, work and childrearing, increases markers of oxidative stress and can shorten telomeres, the protective sequences at the ends of our chromosomes. To support ourselves in times of stress, we need to prioritize sleep, improve our diet by selecting a variety of antioxidant-rich foods, and incorporate regular exercise. Seeking to reduce stress (especially chronic stress) might be the most important thing we can do for our health and longevity, as a calm mind and body naturally lead to healthier and more self-positive choices.

SHERIDAN, Ind. — It may look like just another storefront on Main Street in Sheridan, but step inside the Crossroads Student Center and chances are you'll find at least a dozen kids and Pastor Chris Brooks.
"We parked the car, and we watched people walk around, and we realized it really is a problem."
Brooks says he used to see kids out on the streets in this neighborhood with little to no supervision.
That's why two years ago, he opened the center to give kids a safe place to learn and grow.
"You learn about God here, but it's not uncomfortable. You don't have to dress super fancy and it's comfortable," said Olivia Strandberg, a freshman at Sheridan High School.
The center is free and open to any child, but Brooks says without donations or funding, he's not sure how much longer the center can remain open.
Each month, his family pays about $1,000 out of their own pocket to keep the lights on.
"It's scary because if my wife were to lost her job, we'd have to lock the doors and walk away."
That's why Brooks says he's praying for a miracle and doing all he can to make sure that doesn't happen.
"It's a struggle. But I know I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing. No matter how hard it gets on me."
Brooks hopes he can make it through the winter months until the weather warms up. Then, he and the children can meet at a nearby park.

Comparing Auditors to Financial Analysts
Auditors, like accountants, work on the financial books of a company or business and look for discrepancies or waste. Financial analysts help people and companies with their investment questions by analyzing the markets as they affect that person or company. Below is a comparison of these two financial careers along with some salary details.
|Job Title
|Education Requirements
|Median Salary* (2019)
|Job Growth* (2018-2028)
|Bachelor's minimum, Master's often preferred
|$71,550 (for all accountants and auditors)
|6% (for all accountants and auditors)
|Financial Analysts
|Bachelor's minimum, Master's often required

Responsibilities of Auditors vs. Financial Analysts
Auditors and financial analysts are closely related in that they deal with a company's financial well being. Both are tasked with helping the company improve their profitability. Auditors will work on a company's financial books to determine if any illegal activities may have taken place. Financial analysts, on the other hand, help guide the company's investment portfolio by keeping up with changes to the market that may affect the stocks and/or bonds of a business.
Auditors may work specifically for a large company doing internal audits of an organization or specific departments or regional offices. They are tasked with looking for discrepancies, ways to tighten up budgets or signs that waste or fraud are taking place. External auditors will work for an accounting firm and will be called in as outsiders to audit another company and perform similar duties as an internal auditor. They will then report their findings to a board of directors or certain authorities to determine the veracity of their financial statements.
Job responsibilities of an auditor include:
- Examining finances to ensure accuracy of financial records
- Inspecting financial and computer records
- Organizing records and keeping them safely stored
- Assessing operations and suggesting updates and changes
Financial Analysts
Financial analysts are investment experts who may work for a variety of companies like banks, credit unions, investment companies, insurance carriers and securities firms. These experts have the education to analyze the stocks and bonds markets to make recommendations for buying or selling investments. These analysts fall into types such as buy-side and sell-side. Financial analysts may suggest short-term and long-term strategies based on their data. Depending on whom they work for, they may make investment suggestions based on the type of company, region they are in, or type of investment product.
Job responsibilities of a financial analysts include:
- Suggesting individual or portfolio investments
- Studying all pertinent financial data
- Meeting with management and executives for guidance
- Preparing periodic written reports
Related Careers
Auditors and financial analysts work for companies that assist in improving that organization's financial situation in different ways. There are several related careers available. For instance, auditors who look for waste and fraud in a company's books may seek a career using their expertise as a cost estimator looking over budgets and costs for materials and labor. Since financial analysts give investment advice, they could consider work as insurance underwriters, determining if and how much insurance someone or a company may need.

Testosterone is an anabolic steroid and the predominate male sex hormone. It plays its primary role in the development of the reproductive organs – the testis and the prostate – in men. A secondary characteristic of testosterone is to aid in the increase of muscle and bone mass, as well as body hair growth. This hormone is vital to the overall health and well-being of men. Furthermore, it provides osteoporosis preventing benefits. Abnormalities that rise from low levels of testosterone can lead to frailness and loss of bone density.
Physiological Effects Of Testosterone In Men
Testosterone has primary and secondary sex characteristics. Androgens, via androgen receptors, promote protein synthesis. In turn, this causes the growth of tissues. These are involved in the masculinization of the male sex, development of muscle and bones and the development of sex organs.
Anabolic Effects:
- Supports Growth of Muscle Tissues
- Promotes Increased Strength Growth
- Increases Bone Density and Strength
- Involved in Maturation of the Bones
- Helps The Stimulation of Linear Growth
Androgenic Effects:
- Promotes Maturation of the Sex Organs
- Development of Erectile and Scrotal Tissue
- Causes a Deepening of the Voice in Puberty
- Growth of Facial Hair and Axillary (Underarm) Hair
Before birth, the effects of testosterone involved in the development of human children are classified into two categories. The first occurs between 4 and 6 weeks of the gestational period. This is involved in the masculinization of the neonate.
- Midline Fusion
- Phallic Urethra
- Scrotal Thinning
- Rugation (Stomach)
- Phallic Enlargement
- Gland Development (Seminal/Prostate)
In the second trimester, gender formation occurs in which androgen levels play a key role. During this period, the masculinization and feminization of behavior is influenced. This is closely influenced by the testosterone levels of the mother during gestation.
During the first week, male infants have reach pubertal levels of testosterone that eventually declines around 4 to 6 months. There doesn't appear to be a correlation between this occurrence and bodily development. Although still mysterious, some believe this could have potential influences on masculinization of behavior.
Before puberty, the increase in androgen levels shows developmental effects on both girls and boys. During this time, adult types of changes occur.
- Development of Body Odor
- Hair and Skin Oiliness Increases
- Acne Breakout of the Skin
- Pubarche (Growth of Pubic Hair)
- Axillary Hair (Armpit Hair)
- Physical Growth Spurts
- Accelerated Bone Maturation
- Facial Hair Development
The signs of puberty occur if and when the levels of testosterone are higher than adult females for a period of months to years. This causes significant changes to boys as they grow into adult hood.
- Spermatogenic Tissue Growth
- Development Male fertility
- Enlargement of the Penis
- Increase in Male Libido
- Increased Erection Frequency
- Remodeled Facial Bone Contours
- Completion of Bone Maturation
- Adam's Apple Growth & Voice Deepening
- Expansion of Pubic Hair Growth Areas
- Facial Hair (Mustache, Side Burns, Beard)
- Increase in Muscle and Strength Growth
In adult hood, testosterone levels continue to provide masculine traits in men. Its effects are noticeably different when in comparison to women. The levels and traits of testosterone may decline over time. The full understanding of its age related decline effects are still not fully known. Speculations include decreased libido and erectile performance.

Lenovo ZUK | All You Need To Know
Lenovo ZUK | All You Need To Know
Lenovo has been expanding its vicinity in the mobile phone industry in the recent years. From the top PC producer, now its planning to be one of the best smartphone producers as well. In such manner, the organization has disclosed another brand in China, called as Lenovo ZUK. The organization guarantees that this will work as an autonomous brand and will help them concentrate all the more on the local market and battle rivalry.
Not at all like Lenovo's phone division, which centers a ton all the more on equipment to draw in clients, Lenovo ZUK will invest more energy building up the product part that is software of the gadget. Obviously, this sub-brand arrangements to discharge a phone of its own in September this year, yet as they pick up ubiquity among clients, the last point is to make an imprint in the product field.
ZUK will launch its first super phone, called as the Lenovo ZUK Z1 in September 2015 not long from now. The gadget will accompany top of the line specs and also another home developed programming UI called as the ZUI. As said over, this new brand expects to pull in shopper consideration with its inventive and liquid programming as opposed to equipment. Actually, it is said that through the span of time, the organization will diminish its emphasis on equipment.
You can hope to see no less than one phone in a year from ZUK. In this way, it could be another leader consistently. Be that as it may, because of expanded rivalry in the household market, they don't discount the likelihood of a second phone dispatch in a year.
Presently, you must be pondering what's the distinction in the middle of ZUK & Lenovo and why did they choose to frame a shiny new organization. All things considered, Lenovo is a really huge organization and it requires significant investment to take and actualize choices. Then again, Lenovo ZUK, being a more engaged gathering will have the capacity to take quicker choices working autonomously.
Another distinction will be the center of the organization. Lenovo ZUK will invest a ton of energy adding to the ZUI Custom ROM for its gadgets, taking input from the clients. Actually, out of the 400 workers in the organization, 350 will be chipping away at the product.

RAEFORD, N.C. — Two year after shifting its focus from at-risk youth to domestic violence, four-year-old Hoke County Youth and Family Services in Raeford aims this spring to lease a house that would shelter four to five families.
The agency, which serves roughly 200 families a year also plans to form a social women's social group that would meet once a month, and create a giving society to encourage individual gifts of $25 a year.
With an estimated 2,500 to 3,500 victims of domestic violence in Hoke County, mainly poor women and children, the agency works to "make them become whole and self-sufficient," says Karen Wright-Fairley, executive director.
Wright-Fairley, a graduate of the college of law at the University of Toledo in Ohio, founded the agency in 2000 mainly to serve youth.
Chaired for its first three years by Warren Pate, chief district court judge for Judicial District 16A, which serves Hoke and Scotland counties, the agency worked closely with the Juvenile Court Counselor's Office and with the Juvenile Crime Prevention Council, a task force overseen by the state Department of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention.
But in 2002, when the county's only local domestic-violence agency went out of business, Youth and Family Services changed its emphasis.
"There's an epidemic of domestic violence in Hoke and Scotland counties," says Pate.
The agency still serves at-risk youth, but mainly those whose problems are related to domestic violence, says Wright-Fairley.
Youth and Family Services, with a staff of four people and an annual budget of $200,000, serves as an advocate and a resource for domestic-violence victims, she said.
Agency officials accompany clients to court to help them obtain domestic-violence protective orders, for example, or work to help them find and secure housing, or return to school.
The agency also provides emergency financial assistance for needs such as day care, and provides volunteer babysitters so women can go to court.
Many women who are victims of domestic violence are "not real sure about their rights," Wright-Fairley says, or fear repercussions such as the loss of their children if they pursue court protection.
"There were no resources here for them," she says.
The agency's biggest priority this year will be to establish a shelter for victims, says Raz Autry, chairman of its board and retired superintendent of Hoke County Schools.
Victims looking for a place to stay now must go to shelters in Cumberland or Moore counties, and finding transportation can be tough, says Wright-Fairley.
The agency hopes to rent a home that can house four to five families, along with its offices, now located in office space, paid for by the county, next to the U.S. Post Office on West Elwood Avenue.
Autry says priorities for the board will be to raise money for the new facility, probably through a special event to be held this spring, and to create a fundraising "club" whose only purpose would be to recruit donors who could give $25 a year.
"It would be a way to contribute and get citizens involved who otherwise could not afford a large donation," he says.
By serving as an advocate, the agency wants to help women see that "they have voices and that life is so much greater than living in fear," Wright-Fairley says. "There's a whole other world with opportunities and so much to do. And you don't have to live in fear and be trapped in a loveless relationship."

When the Great British Bake Off announced its move over to Channel 4, and the fact that Mel, Sue and Mary Berry wouldn't be following it, most of us thought we'd never again see the Bake Off veterans reunited.
Although Mel & Sue are a famed double act, and have previously spoken about plans for them to work together again on The Generation Game, many viewers thought that the days of Mary/Mel/Sue were well and truly over.
But thankfully, it appears that all hope is not lost, as the threesome are set to reunite for a brand new BBC show!
The popular trio will come back together for a festive new programme set to air at Christmas time, called Mary, Mel and Sue's Surprise Party.
Mel, Mary and Sue will be surprising people at a local community centre in South Wales, which is said to be somewhat of a lifeline for elderly people and children alike.
The show will also reward worthy volunteers at the centre, in what's guaranteed to be a feel-good Christmas hit.
But while Mary won't be making a return to baking in the new programme, she will be rustling up a traditional Christmas dinner for the deserving residents, while Mel and Sue will be present with their classic cheer to create a festive backdrop for the party.
Speaking about the new show, Charlotte Moore, Director of BBC Content said, "What a lovely chance for BBC One to help bring a community together and give something back to some incredible volunteers this Christmas, especially when the surprise party is organised by Mary, Mel and Sue!"
Latest Stories
David Brindley, Head of Commissioning, Popular Factual and Factual Entertainment added, "What could be a more joyful Christmas treat than reuniting the brilliant Mary, Mel and Sue around such a heart-warming, important event?
Sadly, their fellow former Bake Off colleague, Paul Hollywood, won't be joining them for the festivities.
Mary, Mel and Sue's Surprise Party will air this Christmas on BBC One, but a date and time for the show are yet to be announced.

A sixth generation Texan, Chance was born in the west Texas town of Abilene and later moved east to Texarkana where he spent his younger years. Being raised in both Abilene and Texarkana, Chance gained a deep appreciation for two very different regions of the Lone Star State: the big skies of west Texas and the piney woods of east Texas.
Chance is a graduate of Texas Tech University where he earned a BBA in Finance and Business Economics. Upon graduation from Texas Tech, Chance moved to Dallas where he spent the first decade of his career building and operating a healthcare services company. Serving in the role of Chief Operating Officer, the business venture ultimately led to a successful equity sale.
Following the transaction, Chance chose to follow his passion of the outdoors by joining Hortenstine Ranch Company. This passion and love for the outdoors took off in 2014 when Chance fulfilled a lifelong dream and purchased his own ranch near Athens, Texas. An avid hunter, Chance turned his sights on making immediate improvements to his ranch which allowed the wildlife to flourish. Experiencing ranch ownership and reaping the benefits of hard work fueled his desire to help others experience the same satisfaction. Chance now focuses solely on assisting sellers and buyers with rural and recreational ranch properties.
Chance's commitment to going above and beyond for each one of his clients fits right into Hortenstine Ranch Company's commitment to an unparalleled customer experience. He combines a unique perspective from his successful corporate background, business efficiency and his hands-on experience in the ownership of his ranch.

Florian Schreiber loves food. Almost a little too much to be proud of it. He's also really tall. He likes to point that out as an excuse for his never fading appetite. Since someone accidently told him that there are often snacks in the backstage of poetry slams, he started writing. Only to gain access to the snacks, of course. Starting in 2015, he has since then performed all over Germany as well as in parts of Belgium and the Netherlands. The soon-to-be teacher also has a secret talent: he can memorize almost all lyrics of every song ever written. Too bad, that there are already apps for that.

Feel Good Strips
So far we have 5 completed strips turned in for the Feel Good project. Measuring them across the width comes to 44 ". That would seem enough width to make an afghan. But we'll wait to see what other sizes people have made to put all the strips together. The patterns people have chosen seem to go together well.

The Dallas Cowboys are coming off a discouraging loss in which their quarterback threw for 463 yards. The New York Jets would like to have such problems.
Quarterback Sam Darnold is expected to return to action Sunday for the Jets (0-4) when they play host to the Cowboys (3-2).
The Jets, playing their third game without Darnold, lost to the Philadelphia Eagles 31-6 last Sunday, managing just 128 total yards.
The Cowboys fell behind by 28 points last week before a late comeback fell short in a 34-24 loss to the Green Bay Packers.
The struggles of Dak Prescott and the Cowboys' offense -- Dallas was blanked by the Packers for the first 39 minutes -- pale in comparison to those endured by the Jets since Darnold was diagnosed with mononucleosis shortly after New York's season-opening, 17-16 loss to the Buffalo Bills.
Quarterbacks Trevor Siemian and Luke Falk combined to throw for 419 yards in lopsided losses to the Eagles, Cleveland Browns and New England Patriots. The Jets scored just one offensive touchdown -- on a 19-yard end-around by Vyncint Smith set up by Philadelphia muffing a punt in the red zone -- while being outscored 84-23 in the trio of defeats.
The Jets know Darnold, who is 22 years old and making just his 15th career start Sunday, isn't a miracle worker, especially coming off a serious illness that required him to rest completely for three weeks. But he will provide a level of skill that New York missed with him on the sideline.
"We've got a lot of other things to clean up, but Sam is able to hide things sometimes for us," Jets coach Adam Gase said this week. "If we make a mistake, he covers it up."
Darnold was cleared for physical contact Monday. One of the symptoms of mononucleosis is an enlarged spleen, which would put Darnold at risk of a rupture if he was hit in his midsection.
Even with Darnold, the Jets provide a potential get-right spot for the Cowboys, who were touted as a Super Bowl contender while racing out to a 3-0 start. But Dallas fell to the New Orleans Saints 12-10 on Sept. 29 before absorbing the loss to the Packers.
Coach Jason Garrett said he hopes the Cowboys can simplify their approach against the Jets.
"I do think guys are maybe trying a little bit too hard in some instances to make plays, and I think that's hurt us in all three phases of our team," Garrett said this week. "I think we just need to settle back in and play fundamentally sound football and be disciplined and making sure that we let the game come to us a little bit."
Another key member of the Jets, linebacker C.J. Mosley, is expected to miss his fourth straight game with a groin injury. Defensive end Henry Anderson (shoulder) did not practice Wednesday but was not ruled out for Sunday.
Cowboys left tackle Tyron Smith (ankle) sat out practice Wednesday but still could return Sunday after missing the Packers game. Dallas right tackle La'el Collins (knee) also didn't practice Wednesday, and he was considered day-to-day.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – The Tennessee Titans are healthy for the season opener, but they did get a couple of scares this week in practice, including Pro Bowl tackle Taylor Lewan going down with a twisted ankle.
Head coach Mike Mularkey said Lewan is "day to day" and is still expected to play Sunday against the Oakland Raiders.
Cornerback LeShaun Sims also got dinged this week when he strained a groin muscle in practice Monday. Mularkey said Sims is also "day to day" and is also expected to play.
Rookie wide receiver Corey Davis continues to do more and more in practice as he recovers from a pulled hamstring. Mularkey said Davis took a step forward on Wednesday.
"He's probably taken more reps today than he's taken all of training camp. It was good to see him in there and take as many as he did. It was pretty productive," the head coach told media.
Davis missed every preseason game for the Titans, but will play against the Raiders, we just do not know how much.

There are three groups of Fulani in this region: Sokoto, Western, and Wodaabe. The largest of the three groups is the Sokoto. There are two types of Sokoto: the Toroobe (ruling class) and the Bororo (Semi-nomadic class). The Western Fulani are also called the Gorgaabe. The Western Fulani maintain much of their traditional way of life, and because of this, they are considered the purest of all Fulani. The Wodaabe are nomads who live in the Sahara Desert. They are a subgroup of the Fulani and like to be referred to as the Bororo. Almost all Fulani groups are Muslim, however many still practice traditional pre-Islamic beliefs. Believers who want to share the gospel need creativity and the Holy Spirit's guidance.
Partnership // Move Beyond
Please spend a few moments in prayer for the following:
- Pray the few Christian believers among the Fulani people will be sent teachers to help them become well established in the faith.
- Pray they will learn to live in the power of Christ's Spirit, experiencing the fruit of Christ's Spirit consistently.
- Pray they will find each other in order to fellowship together.

The Atlanta Braves and Cole Hamels have reached agreement on a one-year deal that will pay the veteran left-hander $18 million, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan.
Hamels went 7-7 with a 3.81 ERA in an injury-marred campaign for the Chicago Cubs last season, his 14th in the league. He struggled down the stretch for the Cubs after returning from an oblique strain.

More on the things that are growing later but first….I have an intruder. There is the cutest little vermin that has infiltrated my precious garden. And the worst part is, it took me DAYS to realize how much of a threat he was going to be. For the first few days I kept trying to get a picture of the little cutie! I was saying to the kids "oh LOOK a bunny". It never dawned on me that I should be terrified. I mean come on, it wasn't a "He's got TEETH!" moments. Extra points to anyone who gets THAT reference….clearly I was a high school geek. Then after about day three or four of Mr. Bunny's antics I went out to check on my beautiful new strawberry plants that were blooming and had some actual strawberries growing and what do I find? Nubs. As in completely decimated strawberry nubs. That little shit had eaten it all. I was sooooo pissed. You know, in a completely irrational way. We live TWO blocks from the river. On Christmas morning we watched as about a half dozen deer walked across the school parking lot directly across from our house. I totally understand that we live in what is essential a nature reserve, but it didn't even DAWN on me that perhaps there would be a downside to that….bunnies like to eat exactly what I want to plant.
So for the next few days until Cowboy got home I spent every morning and evening (dusk and dawn is when bunnies hang out apparently) running around chasing a rabbit in a robe with crocs on my feet and a broom. I'm pretty sure I could hear the rabbit actually snickering from underneath my front hedge. Did I mention I live across the street from my children's school. As I tell my kids, we don't save for retirement in this family, we save for therapy. I even had one night when a lady from a few blocks away came by to see if the rabbit was her long escaped family pet. It wasn't, but she did try to help me…that night I wasn't wearing a robe, I was fully dressed however, we were chasing a rabbit round the yard with a laundry basket and a blanket. I have NO idea why my kids just shake their heads and roll their eyes so much.
So finally Cowboy came home after a ridiculously long time on the road and BOOM now I have a chicken wire fence thingie to keep Bugs out of my damn plants. I also have a new potato bin that we clandestinely misappropriated from a shop in Nisku and a new rain barrel! That Cowboy, he gets shit done.
On to the grow…here is the main part of the garden, completely planted. The first bed on the left has spinach, swiss chard, beets and peas! The second larger bed has shallots, onions, radishes, lettuce, garlic chives & basil. The containers are filled with different squashes, pumpkins and cucumbers. There are bins of potatoes and strawberries everywhere.
Here's a closer view of the peas with their chicken wire supports. I have never been so thrilled over a plant in my life. Mainly because I've never grown anything successfully and this is all coming together.
Here is the shipping carton/potato bin. I hope that this fall it will be filled with banana fingerling potato goodness. Also Cowboy has no idea what fingerling potatoes are, I'm pretty sure he thinks I made the name up.
Also you can kind of see the rain barrel in the corner. You know what the rain barrel has taught me? There is a LOT of damn water falling off the house from not a very long rain storm. If you don't have you drain spouts away from your house there is serious water damage happening to your foundation. One storm for 5 minutes equals a full rain barrel. I mean I KNEW about the whole drain spout thing but this seriously confirmed it.
I'm off to go watch my peas grow…and fondle my new strawberries….and look for evidence of that wascally wabbit. Hopefully the fence works because if this sucker comes back I'm pretty sure that my beloved is going to make it into rabbit stew. So I'm armed with a broom and wearing my robe, I can hear the school buses out front….the kids won't be embarrassed will they?

HVS - completely brilliant - highly recommended
By Jason P on 17 September 2018 | Verified purchase
Could not have been better or more straightforward. I bought a vehicle from HVS having seen an advert on Autotrader. I wasn't able to inspect the vehicle in person or test drive it. Complete leap of faith... to the tune of £9000. I felt I was taking a hell of a risk. However, I need not have worried. HVS sorted everything organising a new MOT and delivery and when the vehicle arrived it was EXACTLY as described if not better. Brilliant service. Totally straight and honest. This is a genuine review - I've never had any dealings with HVS before but would recommend them with complete confidence.

Van Sales without the Spin!!!
By Jamin E on 22 May 2018 | Verified purchase
About a month ago we bought a Peugeot Boxer from HVS Ltd and were so happy with their service and honesty we bought another one from them last week. On both occasions the vendor pointed out shortcomings and defects before inspection and rectified these unlike other dealers we have dealt with in the past. Both vans had new MOTs before collection to save us the hassle. The vendor even organised finance at far better rates than we were offered by our own leasing company. They were also very flexible when it came to collections of the Vans. We will definitely use them again.

Next week sees the official launch of First Lady Michelle Obama's initiative tackling the problem of childhood obesity. According to reports, the plan will focus on four core areas: increasing the number of healthy schools; increasing physical activity for children; improving access to healthy food options; and empowering consumers to make better eating choices. Politico.com reports on the bipartisan group of Cabinet members and Congressional lawmakers brought together by the first lady at the White House Tuesday to discuss the national campaign. Obesity is a serious health concern for children and adolescents. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), latest data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) show that some 33 percent of children aged 6-11 years and 34 percent of those aged 12-19 years are overweight. The prevalence of obesity in children aged 2 to 19 has also increased, according to the CDC, and studies show that obese children and adolescents are more likely to become obese as adults. A couple years ago, we posted an item on a study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition that found a child's risk of becoming overweight is down to nature, rather than nurture. Researchers concluded that the idea that genetic influence is such a strong factor in childhood obesity meant that targeting the family may be vital for obesity prevention in the earliest years. Check out I.I.I. information on obesity, liability and insurance.
2 thoughts on "Anti-Obesity Initiative"
In South Africa, believe it or not, obesity is a huge problem. We are considered to be just as bad as the Americans concerning obesity.
This has created a double problem for the government, where people die of malnutrition and obesity related diseases. Another problem is that it is seen as a status symbol to be overweight, because you can afford to "eat well", and the men want overweight women because they think they will give him healthy children.
All these factors create additional problems to curb obesity.
ItÅ› actually a global problem with one major cause – our diet.

Learning From Experience : Students in the International Baccalaureate in Natural Science Program Are in Ecuador
Since 2001, more than 150 students in the International Bachelor (IB) program in Natural Science at Cégep André-Laurendeau have been travelling to Ecuador to work on a project and to develop their openness to the world. This article retraces the history of this adventure that encompasses school projects and the CAS facet of the IB, which deals with activities relating to Creativity, Action and Services and includes volunteering and community service. The author proposes a few recent examples of projects based on students' competencies in biology, physics and teaching English as a second language. From preparing for the trip to the critical review after their return, the author describes the participants' journey and shares some of their reflections. He also tackles the subject of unexpected events, obstacles, culture shock, insisting specifically on the importance of lasting links between project partners and shedding light on the positive impact that such experiences have on teachers, students and the host communities.
The Centre de documentation collégiale (CDC) offers an extensive collection of documents on college-level education and on education in general, produced by professionals in leading facilities and organizations.

bilaterally symmetrical - Capable of being halved in one, and only one, plane in such a way that the two halves are approximately mirror-images of each other. Usually this plane lies antero-posteriorly and dorso-ventrally, thus separating similar right and left halves. Almost all freely moving animals are bilaterally symmetrical, e.g. all vertebrates, arthropods, and worm-shaped animals. Similar condition in flowers, e.g. snapdragon, is often called zygomorphy.

With two wins at the Baftas and six wins at this year's Academy Awards (including Best Picture and Best Director), South Korean filmmaker Bong Joon-ho has made one of the buzziest films this awards season.
The first Korean film to win the Palme d'Or at Cannes in 2019 (and the first to win with a unanimous vote since 2013), Parasite is a gripping, humorous and horrifying social-satire-slash-home-invasion drama for our times. We meet the director to talk about class and finding hope in his dark work.
Your new film is about a struggling family that secretly feeds off a wealthy one via various jobs. Class feels central to so many of your movies. Why does the subject interest you?
I never intended to focus on the issue of class. I do see this gap between the rich and the poor. But even more than that, I've always been interested in stories about money and power. Those are the dramas that fascinate me. I'm not really that into superheroes.
You're crushing dreams. Where did the idea for Parasite come from?
When I was in college I tutored for a rich family. It was more than just tutoring – I felt like I was peeping into their private lives. Of course, I didn't do anything bad like the characters do in Parasite.
That house you shot in is incredible. Where did you find it?
I knew the basic structure I wanted, but we couldn't find the right house, so we actually built it. The poor family's house, too – we built it in a water tank too for the flood sequence.
Wow. Ari Aster exerted the same level of control on Hereditary. Do you see similarities?
I just watched Midsommar here in Korea! I don't know if he shot that in a real Swedish town, but it felt like a small universe that existed on its own. I try to do that too.
How much is planned out ahead of time?
I try to follow my storyboards as closely as possible, but once I set the stage, I want the actors to be free. I want things to happen, things we haven't planned.
How important are awards to you in the grand scheme of things?
They are important, in that they help us filmmakers continue our careers. Winning is a huge honour. But at the same time, it can feel like a burden.
Would you call yourself a cynic or hopeful?
There's pessimism, sure, but always a sliver of hope. Supplying hope too easily lowers the value of it. Showing a peek of it, within the darkness, shows more respect.
Parasite is out now.

Friday would be our last chance for a full day of London exploration. London is a big city. We had a lot left to see. We needed more time.
Out of our hotel, we headed first to the Tower Bridge, passing by the Tower of London along the way. With partial high overcast, there was more bright sun than we were used to, but the temperatures remained brisk cold.
At the Tower Bridge, we walked across at road level and then paid to tour the drawbridges upper echelons and polished mechanical infrastructure. Tower Bridge sits on the east end of the Thames. The drawbridge allows large boat access to the Pool of London, a short stretch of the Thames before the London Bridge, the non-Arizona version, prevents further upstream travel. It is striking, when you visit, just how small the Pool of London is for such an elaborate drawbridge. Looking at a map, the river distance between the Tower Bridge and the London Bridge is about 2,500 feet. This is only about a 1,000 feet longer than the world's largest ship, the Jahre Viking. The Pool of London covers an area of around 2.5 million square feet, about 100 times the area of the big screen HD TVs at the new Cowboys stadium. The Tower Bridge is a lot of structure for a small amount of water. I'd have to assume that when the bridge opened in 1884, there were more docks and smaller ships to make the project seem worthwhile.
From Tower Bridge, we headed upstream along the docks past the light cruiser HMS Belfast moored bank side and used as a museum. Soon our compulsion to search for Invaders took over. In the course of finding the mosaics, we found ourselves at Borough Market near the London Bridge train station. The food market is covered by an impromptu combination of the elevated railroad track platform and lace ironwork supported glass. It offers the sights and smells of markets everywhere, but, as usual, retains a distinct local flair. We'd have missed this niche of London if we weren't hunting for Invaders.
A Neal's Yard cheese shop is located near the Borough Market. It is impossible for us to pass a Temple of Curdled Milk. Inside, we tasted some of the numerous cheeses offered by the ubiquitous man behind the counter. We're not quite sure what we tasted as England and the United States remain as two countries separated by a single language. Though we had no good way to store it, we came away with a package of particularly stinky cheese. We couldn't resist. Nor could we forget that we made the purchase. The smell was a constant reminder.
After the market visit, Invader hunt, and the Neal's Yard cheese binge, we still had daylight left. We took the Tube to the St. John's Wood Station and walked the short distance to Abbey Road and the Abbey Road Studio. Joining with the other pilgrims outside the studio we paid homage to the place where numerous Beatles albums and Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" was recorded. I'm not positive, but I think I spotted the little known Sixth Beatle on the nearby zebra crossing. As usual, the Sixth Beatle was running very late, about forty years late this time.
For dinner, the suspected Sixth Beatle and I met up at Rasoi Vineet Bhatia with G&C who traveled up from Southampton. Rasoi Vineet Bhatia is a Michelin starred Indian restaurant in Chelsea. The up market Indian food, with a western fusion bent (When's the last time you had foie gras at an Indian restaurant?), was distinctive. The meal may not of lived up to its full promise, but it was still good and interesting nonetheless.

I love solving Sudoku problems because I feel extremely smart completing the super hard puzzles. The game is pretty much a process of elimination with numbers, and I love figuring out which number goes where and why. Not to mention, after reading a few simple tips online, I think I'm getting better at the game. Not too much better, but better.
The game has helped me unwind and relax a bit after a few super busy weeks at work. However, I'm not a speedy solver. Even on the puzzles where I think I solved it pretty fast, I really didn't. Thanks to technology, I'm able to compare my Sudoku times against other players using the same phone game app or online game, and my times are really really really really bad. So my dream of competing in speed Sudoku looks pretty bleak. But that's OK, because I still love the game.

4 Health Hacks for College Students
As a college student, maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle is not the easiest thing to do, especially if you are living away from home. Nevertheless, having a poor lifestyle can lead to stress, fatigue, illnesses, low grades and self-esteem issues.
Here are some tips to keep a healthy body and mind to create a thriving college life.
1. Create a Relaxing Bedtime Routine
Whether you are living in a campus dormitory or student apartments ucf in Orlando, you need to have enough sleep every day. Having enough sleep is important to keep your energy levels up, strengthen your immune system, and improve your cognitive functions and mood. Although the amount of sleep each person needs varies, it takes 7 - 9 hours for most people to feel fully rested. If you're having a hard time falling asleep at night, create a relaxing bedtime routine. Avoid using your phone, computer, gaming console or any gadget 30-60 minutes before bedtime. You can take a warm bath and read your favorite book while having a cup of lavender or chamomile tea, it will help you relax and fall asleep easier at night. If you feel fatigue during the day, take a power nap, it works wonders.
2. Eat Healthy and Drink Plenty of Water Every Day
Drinking enough water can help increase your concentration and prevent excessive eating. Be sure to drink at least 8-10 glasses of water every day and keep your body hydrated by always bringing water with you. If you are not a fan of drinking water alone, you can make your own natural juice like lemonade from fresh squeezed lemons. When you get up, start your day with a good meal. Whether you're rolling out of bed for class at noon or first thing in the morning , make sure you start your day with a healthy, balanced meal. Try and eat healthy every day by avoiding eating chips, salty and sugary foods, soda and processed foods and eating more vegetable and fruits. You can search many healthy recipes on the internet. But you don't need to worry; there are student apartments near ucf in Orlando that provide free healthy meals for their residents, freshly cooked and readily available at the on-site cafeteria.
3. Don't Forget Your Emotional and Mental Health
Adjusting to college life and living away from home and family can be difficult and fighting stress can be tremendous. So if possible, find shared apartments for rent near ucf campus where you can establish friendships with your roommates. Of course don't forget to keep in touch with your friends and loved ones back home, a quick chat can go a long way. Quiet time and meditation are also essential to your emotional and mental well being, so find a quiet place where you can reflect and relax.
4. Exercise Regularly and Find a Workout Buddy
Working out regularly is not only a great way to stay fit and healthy, it also allows your body to produce natural chemicals called endorphins that make it easier for you to focus on your studies. There are student apartments in Orlando that provide amenities such as fitness center, swimming pool and volleyball court to keep you physically fit. However, if going to the gym regularly is a struggle for you, find a workout buddy so you'll get inspired and have fun.
Your surroundings have a great impact on your college life success, thus finding a place where you can live happily and conveniently away from home is a must. Check out collegiate village apartments and their amenities that are geared towards college students and their everyday needs.

JEFFERSON CITY - Prosecutors filed a statutory rape charge on Tuesday against a man accused of having sex with a 13-year-old girl.
Cole County deputies first started investigating Jess Driskill after getting a call on October 18 from the Holts Summit Police Department about a report of a runaway teenager. Deputies went to a mobile home park on West Business 50 and contacted Driskill, who said the girl wasn't there. After speaking with deputies for a while, Driskill brought the girl out to them. She told deputies she'd had sex with Driskill.
Court documents said Driskill told investigators he had sex with the girl, but it was consensual and never forced. He apparently thought she was 16 and didn't learn her age until he got a restraining order barring any contact with the girl.
Driskill was booked into the Cole County jail on $25,000 cash only bond.

I get a letter last night from our insurance company, enclosed is a form titled "Pre-existing condition investigation. I get on Cigna's website this morning to find out what is going on and they haven't even paid for my appointment with the Reproductive Endocronologist yet. They have a note by it stating that a "pre-existing condition" investigation is being performed and that pre-existing conditions are not covered by our policy.
First of all, I don't even have a DIAGNOSIS yet...I am still in the testing phase, so how can something be "pre-existing" if I don't even know what it is?
Have I seen other Dr.'s for this...yes
Have I been "treated" for it? Well if you call the dr. prescribing me a drug and telling me "take that for about a month and then come back and see me and we will see if it makes a difference" treatment, then I suppose yes, but the medication made me so sick, I couldn't even take it for the full month.
So...getting treated for this condition now to reduce my chances of cervical cancer (which I am at a 60% higher risk than "normal" women) and increase my chances of having children of my own in the future is NOT covered. BUT...If I get cervical cancer as a result of not ovulating and having periods...THAT will be covered????
I hate insurance companies, I hate them, I hate them, I hate them.
"Oh, Mr. Jones, you can't have an erection? Well we will prescribe some Viagra for you so you can have a normal life. Don't worry, your insurance will cover all of your costs"
"Oh, Mrs. Clinger, your screwed. come back and see us when you have cancer so your insurance will cover it. Sorry about that whole - not having a family of your own thing - Have a nice day"
Can't I just get an F'ing break here? What have I done to deserve this? Why can every inbred crack head have a family, and I can't. This is so unfair
I hate hate hate my body
