Our modern diet, comprising mostly of processed cereals, sugars and sweeteners, fried food, fruits and juices, fast food etc., is increasingly being blamed for the so called modern diseases. With increasing exposure to these foods right from early childhood, the modern diseases also seem to be striking the young.
The Evidence
- Western Diet Promotes Metabolic Syndrome: Yet another study has shown that consumption of Western diet (higher intakes of fast food, meat and poultry, pizza, and snacks) and diet beverage is associated with higher risk of metabolic syndrome when compared with a prudent diet. [Duffey KJ, Steffen LM, Horn LV, Jacobs Jr DR, Popkin BM. Dietary patterns matter: diet beverages and cardiometabolic risks in the longitudinal Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) Study. Am J Clin Nutr. April 2012 ajcn.026682. Abstract]
- White rice and risk of type 2 diabetes: A Meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies has revealed that Asian (Chinese and Japanese) populations had much higher white rice consumption levels than did Western populations and that higher consumption of white rice is associated with a significantly increased risk of type 2 diabetes in Asian populations. [Hu EA, Pan A, Malik V, Sun Q. White rice consumption and risk of type 2 diabetes: meta-analysis and systematic review. BMJ 2012;344:e2021 doi: 10.1136/bmj.e1454 Full Text |Editorial | Report]
- Western Style Diets Linked to Kidney Dysfunction: According to a study published in the American Journal of Kidney Diseases, Western diet is associated with a greater likelihood of the development of microalbuminuria (excretion of small amounts of albumin to the urine) and rapid decrease in kidney function, whereas diets similar to the Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet may be protective against rapid decline of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). [Abstract from American Journal of Kidney Diseases February 2011;57(2):245-254 | Report]
- Processed Food Diet in Early Childhood may Lower IQ: The Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children, which tracks the long term health and wellbeing of around 14,000 children born in 1991 and 1992, has found that a predominantly processed food diet at the age of 3 was associated with a lower IQ at the age of 8.5, whereas a healthy diet was associated with a higher IQ at the age of 8.5. Press Release | Report]
- Modern day food causes all the ills: The highly processed, calorie-dense, nutrient-depleted diet frequently leads to exaggerated supraphysiological post-prandial spikes in blood glucose and lipids. This post-prandial dysmetabolism induces immediate oxidant stress, which increases in direct proportion to the increases in glucose and triglycerides after a meal. The transient increase in free radicals acutely triggers atherogenic changes including inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, hypercoagulability, and sympathetic hyperactivity. To attenuate the increase in glucose, triglycerides, and inflammation after a meal, a diet rich in minimally processed, high-fiber, plant-based foods, including vegetables and fruits, whole grains, legumes, and nuts is recommended. Other dietary interventions that can significantly ameliorate postprandial dysmetabolism include intake of lean protein, vinegar, fish oil, tea, and cinnamon. Additional benefits may result from calorie restriction, weight loss and exercise.

- Metabolic disorders striking the young: Should the stress be on 'Stress' or on Food? Many reports emerging from India reveal increasing incidence of metabolic syndrome disorders in young children and many things such as stress at school, sedentary life style, computers, TV, genes and junk food have been blamed. Some have even advised the kids to stop schooling and do yoga for relaxation! Is it not ironical that the so called experts who sought changes in our school education, so as to make it less stressful, now blame the changed methodology for increasing stress? In blaming many things, the strongest reason is bound to be missed: and that reason is the FOOD! See The Young Are Ageing. Outlook Sep 13, 2010 Full Text | Delhi kids suffer from adult ailments!

With the planting season upon us, we have had little time to sow our seeds in our yearly Spring Garden. The ground thoroughly soaked has not only impeded our planting, but all farmers in the region.
Flower perennials and annuals my daughter and husband purchased for me on Mother's Day, are only a quarter planted. The rain has literally delayed our regular planting season.
The high price of gas has driven already cautious consumers to the brink of insanity. We have been forced to open our pockets deeper and deeper with every price increase. I've never let my gas tank get under a quarter tank, and it is almost on E! Forced to try to cut into my grocery bill, which has in turn increased as the weeks go by. Stocking up on good buys for fear prices will continue to go up within the upcoming months.
Milk, eggs, bread, cheese, rice, flour, and cooking oil have gone sky high. Last week almost five bucks for canola cooking oil, hitting hard to those who are watching calories and cholesterol.
Cutting everything in the household to less and less, and our teenage daughter wonders why we don't want to drive her halfway across the county for a birthday party!
Times are tough, and are only going to get tougher in the future.
I had passed the idea of making our garden even bigger this year to my husband. Last Summer I froze all the vegetables we did not use at the moment. Green beans, zucchini, tomatoes, cabbage, and corn. I freeze them in freezer bags, and take them out as needed for sauces, soups, and stir fries. I never had the patience to can stuff. This is my modern way of canning, to freeze-fresh garden vegetables. I just used my last small frozen bag of tomatoes, for minestrone soup. As long as the vegetables are picked fresh and frozen, they keep very well. I'm hoping to freeze as much as possible this Summer. We cannot afford to waste a thing, cause things are getting tougher all over.

First of all...
Today marks the 29th birthday of my dear friend Candy. If you're a reader of the blog, you've read about her and can somewhat understand why I absolutely love this friend! I've mentioned several times that God has not only blessed me by giving me lots of friends, but He's in fact given me lots of best friends. The friendships I have are very rare.
Candy is my best friend from college and we've remained as close (well...probably gotten closer!) since college. She's married with child #2 on the way, and she still somehow makes time for me! In fact, she lets me invite myself to visit whenever I want! Seriously. I love this girl. Want to know more specific reasons why she's so fabulous? OK! Just click here and here. Here's a picture of her and her cute hubby Chad (stolen from their blog). LOVE THEM.
I hope your birthday is fantastic, Candy! You're loved and MISSED!!!!
On a different note, today also marks the 19th anniversary of my cousin Kyle's death. He was killed in a car accident his senior year of high school (the picture below was taken shortly before then). Although I was only 9 when it happened, I still have memories of him and think of him often, especially every Sept. 30. I have thought of him today probably more than I have any other Sept. 30 that I can recall. I'm not sure why. I just can't help but think of what he'd be like now, where he'd be living, etc. He was just so young. I remember it being a sad time for our entire family.
Sorry to sadden the mood here, but I DO think it's important to remember those who have lost loved ones even if it has been years and years ago.
Kyle was loved and is missed everyday by us all.
I hope you're all enjoying the weather as much as I am! According to a student of mine (who says he's going to be a meteorologist), it's supposed to be rainy and "thunderstormy" again tomorrow night and maybe Friday. NOT AGAIN!
Happy Hump Day!

What Causes Baldness?
This is one of the largest problems facing society from a cosmetic standpoint, and that includes women as well as men. It seems as though more and more people are going bald lately. Is it genetics or is it something we are doing that is bringing this on? Statistics say that at age 30, you have a 30% chance of going bald. Every decade, this number moves up by 10%. At age 60, you have a 60% chance of going bald. They always say genetics are the main culprit. The old saying was "look at your grandfather on your mothers side." This comes from the fact that the major hair loss gene is on the X chromosone(from Mom). There are other genes involved in hair loss and some of them come from your fathers side as well as mom so that tosses that theory out the window. Baldness can be the result of other non-genetic factors like stress. The number one reason for pattern baldness is androgenetic alopecia (AGA), accounting for 90% of all baldness in males and females.
So What Causes Your Baldness?
The leading causes is related to androgenic hormones. So what does this mean and how does it affect you? To understand this we first need to understand how hair grows. There are 3 distinct phases of hair growth. Anagen- The active growth phase, 80-85% of all hair is in this phase. Catagen- is the "transitional phase", where hair growth slows down. Telogen- this is where hair completely stops growing and "falls out."Your hair is in Telogen 10-15% of the time. After hair goes into Telogen, it starts back over in Anagen and hair starts to grow. This continues throughout our lifetimes. As we age, our follicles begin to shrink. This causes lighter, finer, and shorter hairs to grow. The hair is also in Anagen (growth) for less time. Eventually, the hair will fall out and never return. There are two factors that play a part in this; hormonal and genetics.
At the root of all hair follicles is a part called the papilla. The papilla is in direct contact with the blood and allows certain hormones to bind receptors; they are called androgen receptors. Humans have Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) which is a byproduct of testosterone being converted 5-alpha reductase. When DHT binds the papilla, it causes the follicle to shrink and eventually leads to AGA. The genetic side is related to Prostaglandin D2 (PGD2). It is found in high amounts in bald scalps. Researchers thought, if we just block PGD2, we will fix baldness! Well, as it stands, DHT and PGD2 work in synergy. The current thinking is that DHT has upstream control of PGD2. It may take another 2-5 years to have an effective PGD2 blocker.
So What Can You Do Until The PGD2 Blocker Is Developed?
The best option right now is using Minoxidil (Rogaine). Rogaine keeps hair in Anagen longer and also makes follicles larger so the hair grows thicker. The caveat is thta once you stop taking it, the hair falls out. Finesteride (Propecia) also works by inhibiting 5 alpha-reductase. This interferes with the conversion of testosterone to DHT, thus it cannot bind the papilla. The side effects can be problematic such as reduced sexual feeling and delayed ejaculation. Some men have a hard time getting an erection as well. Some guys consider it off limits for this reason alone. Short of a hair transplant, the best thing I have used myself is dermal rollers with minoxidil. Dermal rolling triggers the bodies wound healing response and this in turn can cause progenitor cells (think stem cells) to cause some follices to turn back on or new ones to grow.

The children are settled into school — finally, after a most marvellous summer — and the days are starting to slowly take on a new rhythm. I am settled into my institute in Pisa, going there about once a week, by train. Language seems not to faze the children as much as expected. Clever little things. Mr A (5) announced rather perceptively that "we don't learn much in school. It's more somewhere to go for children when their parents have to do something". But he is happy, learning a new language, and surrounded by kind people. Miss R (8) is coping amazingly, helped by a lovely little English-speaking friend in her class who has been a real blessing. So, on my two new Giant Swedish Store-bought tables, in my little tower, I respectively have space for writing… and sewing. After a morning of reading chapters of an excellent PhD, I finally dug out a cushion to finish.
This is a milestone for me as I hand pieced the shapes (from a Moda pack of pre-cut hexies): not English paper piecing but rather with running stitch. My first Y seams! Then, when that was done and the green border was attached by machine, I hand quilted it, under the watchful eyes of Ms E and Ms D, queens of the hand quilting, while still in Switzerland.
Meanwhile, back over the border in France, in Morzine, Patchwork in the Peaks is taking place this weekend. I wish the ladies so much fun, and I wish I were there. So perhaps I'll sneak in some extra sewing this weekend in my very own Tuscan Peaks, as a sort of symbolic Southern outpost.
Happy days! JJ

The abuse of vendor channel market programs -- including partner rebates and other incentives -- plays a bigger role in the sale of gray market IT gear than previously thought, according to an industry group made up of IT vendors.
Gray market resellers sell used products as new or counterfeit products as the real deal.
According to The Alliance for Gray Market and Counterfeit Abatement (AGMA), a group backed by Hewlett-Packard, Microsoft, Cisco Systems and Deloitte Development LLC, a majority of the 12 vendors surveyed think abuse of channel incentives such as special channel pricing feed the gray market.
"We're always looking for root causes, and we found that channel incentive program abuse had a bigger impact than we thought," said AGMA spokesman Scott Olsen. Improving partner programs, but tightening up reporting requirements, could help ease the problem.
Some VARs agreed that fine-tuning partner programs could bolster VAR-vendor relationships and keep partners on the straight and narrow.
"It might help. It's just another form of enticement, and it does help build a better line of communication," said David Dadian, CEO at PowerSolution.com. "I can understand why vendors are trying to tighten partner programs."

Negredo scored a double -- adding to his hat-trick in the first leg -- but had to have treatment following a challenge from James Tomkins late in the game. The striker carried on, but Pellegrini said he would have to wait until Wednesday to determine the seriousness of the knock.
"Alvaro Negredo has a problem with his shoulder," the City boss told Sky Sports. "He just has a pain at the moment, and we will see, hopefully tomorrow.
"It was a very professional performance. It was easy to think the game was finished from the 6-0 in the first leg, but it was important to reach the final winning all the games. Wembley is always important."
For West Ham counterpart Sam Allardyce, injuries to Joe Cole and Mohamed Diame -- who was stretchered off in the closing minutes -- rounded off another miserable night.
"The most disappointing thing was our defensive unit doing what it did in the first few minutes," he said. "Manchester City are a super, super team but it was not a super, super opening goal.
"It was bog-standard defending, which was disappointing. You cannot make mistakes at this level to the amount we did. The killer of all was the injuries to Joe Cole, who should not be out for so long, and Mo Diame, which looked really serious."

The Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial is a World War II cemetery and memorial in Colleville-sur-Mer, Normandy, France, that honors American soldiers who died in Europe during World War II.
On June 8, 1944, the U.S. First Army established the temporary cemetery, the first American cemetery on European soil in World War II. After the war, the present-day cemetery was established a short distance to the East of the original site.
Like all other overseas American cemeteries in France for World War I and II, France has granted the United States a special, perpetual concession to the land occupied by the cemetery, free of any charge or any tax. This cemetery is managed by the American government, under Congressional acts that provide yearly financial support for maintaining them, with most military and civil personnel employed abroad. The U.S. flag flies over these granted soils.
The cemetery is located on a bluff overlooking Omaha Beach (one of the landing beaches of the Normandy Invasion) and the English Channel. It covers 0.268 mi², and contains the remains of 9,387 American military dead, most of whom were killed during the invasion of Normandy and ensuing military operations in World War II. Included are graves of Army Air Corps crews shot down over France as early as 1942.

"Stormproofing the
Delaware Valley"
By John McDevitt
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Certain areas in our region are obviously more susceptible to flooding than others. Even today, studies and practices continue to better understand and manage the problem.
In late October, as Hurricane Sandy bore down on the Delaware Valley, Philadelphia mayor Michael Nutter (right) urged residents of neighborhoods that routinely flood during major rainstorms — such as Eastwick, Cobbs Creek, Manayunk, and near the Pennypack Creek — to evacuate.
According to officials, approximately 10,000 Philadelphia residents are living in flood zones. And that number is only within the city limits.
"We've done a lot of serious damage to our systems," notes Jeff Featherstone, a city planning professor at Temple University's Ambler campus.
He says mistakes were made more than 50 years ago by developers of cities and towns in the region.
"We didn't pay any attention to our creeks," Featherstone (right) says. "We thought they were nuisances and we bulldozed them. And now we are paying the price for that. Many of the dense areas of Philadelphia, as well as places like Ambler, are experiencing flooding problems because the streams have been paved over. And now when it rains, the storm sewer systems back up and the communities flood."
Dr. Feathrstone conducts studies in storm water and flooding control and works closely with municipalities.
"Without these studies it's difficult to come up with solutions," he tells KYW Newsradio, "and unfortunately they haven't been funded in the past. And we are stuck instead with using our funding and our monies to pay flood victims — which of course needs to be done — but we also need to look at the preventive side and fund that as well."
In some cases, Featherstone points out, if a structure is in a flood plain — such as along the Neshaminy Creek or the Delaware River — it can be elevated to meet FEMA requirements.
"In one case, one of the homes was raised 19 feet," says Richard Roberts (right), vice president and chief engineer of structures for Pennoni Associates Inc., an engineering and design firm in the University City section of West Philadelphia. "Our engineers have worked on determining what elevation the homes actually need to be lifted up and raised to, then our structural engineers have worked on those designs to get them up out of the water."
In addition, there are strict storm water management regulations in place for new commercial construction in most areas of the region, in which the first inch of runoff needs to be captured rather than sent to the sewer system, to help alleviate the potential for flooding.

`4Fe+3O_2 rarr 2Fe_2O_3`
To get 2 moles of `Fe_2O_3` we need 4 moles of Fe and 3 moles of `O_2` .
In the given mixture we have 4 moles of Fe and 2.5 moles of `O_2` .
Since we need 3 moles of `O_2` and 4 moles of Fe to get 2 moles of `Fe_2O_3` , the above reaction will not completely takes place in the mixture to form 2 moles of `Fe_2O_3` .
So what will happen is the reaction will happen until all the `O_2` is reacted.
So finally 2.5 moles of `O_2` will react.
`O_2:Fe_2O_3 = 3:2`
Amount of `Fe_2O_3` formed `= 2/3xx2.5 = 1.667`
So 1.667 moles of `Fe_2O_3` will form in the mixture.

- Which is the correct equation for the reaction of iron and oxygen, 4Fe + 3O2 --> 2Fe2O3, or...
- 1 Educator Answer
This is a typical example of the concept of limiting reagent in stoichiometry (branch of chemistry dealing with relative amounts of reactants and products). Suppose 3 moles of A reacts with 2 moles of B to produce 2 moles of the product C. Now if 2 moles of both A and B are taken, the limiting reagent can be found out in the following way: calculate the number of moles of products that is obtainable from each of these reactants individually (assuming the other reagent to be present in sufficient amount). The reactant that produces the lesser amount of product is the 'limiting reactant'. Here 2 moles of A should produce 2*2/3=1.33 moles of C, whereas 2 moles of B is expected to produce 2 moles of C. Thus A should be the limiting reagent, i.e. the reactant in a chemical reaction that limits the amount of product that can be formed. The reaction will stop when all of the limiting reactant is consumed.
In the given balanced equation 4Fe+3O2-->2Fe2O3
4 moles of Fe reacts with 3 moles of O2 to produce 3 moles of Fe2O3. Reagents actually taken are 4 moles of Iron and 2.5 moles of oxygen. Applying the same concept to find the limiting reagent, 4 moles of Fe (in presence of sufficient oxygen) should produce 2 moles of Fe2O3, whereas 2.5 moles of O2 (in presence of sufficient iron) is expected to produce 2*2.5/3 = 1.667 moles of iron (III) oxide. Thus O2 should be the limiting reagent. Number of moles of iron (III) oxide that can be produced is thus 1.667. Next, to find the amount of excess reactant (iron), we must calculate how much of the non-limiting reactant (iron) actually did react with the limiting reactant (oxygen).
4.00 moles (amount actually taken) – 2*1.667 = 3.333 moles (amount reacted) = 0.667 moles (amount remaining excess).

|A Major Increase in Snake Pipefish (Entelurus aequoreus) in Northern European Seas since 2003: Potential Implications for Seabird Breeding Success
|HARRIS Michael P.; BEARE Douglas; TORESEN Reidar; NØTTESTAD Leif; KLOPPMANN Matthias; DOERNER HENDRIK; PEACH Kevin; RUSHTON Derek; FOSTER-SMITH Judy; WANLESS Sarah
|MARINE BIOLOGY vol. 151 p. 973-983
|Publication Year:
|Articles in periodicals and books
|Since the early 2000s routine fish surveys have recorded increasing numbers of snake pipefish, Entelurus aequoreus, in the northeast Atlantic. Fishermen and divers have also commented on this increase and pipefish have started to appear in the diet of seabirds and other marine predators. This paper collates information from these diverse sources and assesses the current status of snake pipefish. We found compelling evidence of a dramatic and continuing increase in the abundance of snake pipefish starting around 2003. The population is probably still increasing rapidly and expanding northwards to Spitzbergen and the Barents Sea. In 2004 and 2005 snake pipefish were also recorded in the diet of many species of seabird, breeding in colonies around the coast of the UK, and in Norway, Iceland and the Faeroe Islands. Information on the nutrient value of snake pipefish is currently lacking but their rigid, bony structure makes them difficult for young seabirds to swallow and there are numerous records of chicks choking to death. Thus for seabirds, at least, it appears unlikely that increased abundance of snake pipefish will provide a useful alternative prey during the breeding season. The reason for the rapid and dramatic increase in numbers of snake pipefish is currently unclear but such events are characteristic of marine ecosystems and will almost certainly have an effect on food web dynamics.

Sony's rumored PlayStation 4 Neo, a.k.a. the PlayStation 4.5, is still shrouded in mystery. Though there are a number of rumors about what it will be and what it can do, no one will know for sure until Sony makes some official announcement to introduce it to the world.
That announcement may come sooner rather than later, as it looks like the PS4 Neo may hit stores by the fall of this year. The source of this new rumor quickly denied the information, but it's possible that they are simply trying to put the smoke back in the bottle.
According to VideoGamer.com, French video game distributor Innelec Multimedia spilled the beans on the PS4 Neo in a press release announcing its 2016 fiscal year earnings. The release mentioned that an "evolution" of the PlayStation 4 referred to as the "PS4 Neo 4K" would arrive during the first half of its current (2017) fiscal year. Innelec's 2017 fiscal year began on April 1, so the first half of the year will end on September 30, 2016. If the PS4 Neo is coming before that point, then we're likely looking at a late summer/early fall release.
Innelec quickly released a statement about this, denying any official knowledge of new PlayStation products:
"Innelec denies any official information about the launch of a PS4K Neo. It is possible that during the 2016/2017 fiscal developments exist on the current PS4 [but] for the moment we have no information about the nature of them."
The "it is possible" phrasing gives the company an out in case the PS4 Neo is released during that time period, as Innelec can claim it never explicitly denied that the console would be released then. The statement is very careful in pointing out only that Innelec has no official information to share about the rumored console.
This timeframe makes sense, since a release within a few months of E3 (where some believe the console will be officially unveiled) would fall within that period. Innelec's faux pas in its press release potentially spoiled the surprise, but it's not that much of a surprise anyway if you're expecting an E3 announcement. Honestly, the only thing that would have been surprising is if the company had hinted at a PS4 Neo release during its fourth quarter since that would have put it after Christmas and in direct competition with the release of the Nintendo NX.
Given how the press release specifically mentions the rumored console by name, there's essentially no chance that it was an accident. Innelec's denial is almost certainly an attempt to downplay the mention and let Sony have the spotlight when the console is finally announced, but the whole incident simply adds more fuel to the fire in regard to PS4 Neo rumors. The main question that remains is whether the rumored improvements will be enough for those who already own a PS4 to upgrade to the new console when it's released.

The PlayStation 4 Neo has not been officially announced, but an announcement is expected later this summer.

Following the trend of crime dramas in recent years, the latest episode of Elementary tackles a comic-book storyline when a real-life super-hero is murdered. Not as memorable as versions of the episode that shows like Castle and Numb3rs have done, "You've Got Me, Who's Got You?" still provides plenty of fun as Holmes (Jonny Lee Miller) and Watson (Lucy Liu) track down a killer. The most interesting line from the episode comes from this investigation as a fellow super-hero remarks on Holmes and his role compared to costumed vigilantes and uniformed police. Of course Holmes also gets off a great quip as well in his response to his prowess, after reading hundreds of comics for research, the detective offers an implausible origin story to his powers of deduction.
More important to the arc of the season, in the episode's B-story Watson is bribed into helping Morland (John Noble) investigate a possible mole in his organization which could have cost the businessman a very lucrative deal. Although Joan spends more time on camera discussing Morland's motives than doing any real investigating, the episode ends on an interesting twist where, after finding a mole, Watson chooses to turn him to her side rather than turn the man in. Now with a trusted source within the organization it will be interesting to see just what Joan's next move concerning Sherlock's unscrupulous father just might be.

A&G creates display area for JT Dove
Published: 24 May, 2011
BIRMINGHAM: Acheson & Glover (A&G), a leading supplier of premium quality hard landscaping, has designed a new hard landscaping display area for merchant customer JT Dove's local garden centre.
JT Dove is associated with Clays Garden Centre, based in Washington, Tyne & Wear. The garden centre wanted to start the season with a new and innovative display. JT Dove and A&G were more than willing to help. A&G was particularly keen to create a display that would stand out in the area and achieve pull through for JT Dove. Homeowners are directed to JT Dove.
The new display was installed by contractor Ian Howe Landscaping. It includes A&G's extensive range of walling, natural aggregate flags and block paving in various colours and textures.
Alan Johnston, branch manager of JT Dove comments: "A&G has shown fantastic support with this project. They designed the display area and the results are amazing. Unlike many display areas which are basic in look and layout, A&G put a considerable amount of time and attention into creating an 'Outside Room' and showing what can be achieved with its products. The aim is to excite visitors so they come to us for more information and advice. It's a great way of helping us to sell more hard landscaping.
"Clays is now advertising its new hard landscaping display on local radio, raising JT Doves' and A&G's profile among consumers too," continues Mr Johnston. "A&G will also be providing us with product and sales training. It's an excellent result all round."

Subscribe To PS4's 2014 Release Lineup Is Massive Updates
I've already subscribed
Sony apparently wants everyone to know that the PlayStation 4 has a bright future in 2014, recently releasing a list of all currently scheduled games for the remainder of the year. Get ready to do some budgeting, because there's plenty on the horizon for both physical and digital games through the end of the year.
The launch of a new console can always be a bit intimidating for the average consumer. Launch windows normally have a few notable games everyone is eager to play but, beyond that, the first year or two following a console's launch can be a big question mark when it comes to new content. The Wii U is still struggling to put together a decent lineup and many who purchased the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 late last year are currently wondering when the slow trickle of content will turn into more of a downpour.
Perhaps to let everyone know that relief is on the way, or perhaps to do a little good old fashioned chest beating, Sony has released a list of all games currently scheduled to launch on the PlayStation 4 this year, broken up into seasons and ending with a massive list of games that still have a launch date of TBA.
You can take a gander at the full list for yourself, or you can keep right on reading for a collection of the highlights. Keep in mind that all release dates/windows are subject to change and, let's face it, some of these games set to launch later this year are likely to be pushed into 2015. But no matter how you slice it, it's obvious that the PS4 has a load of content coming down the pipeline. Sony only has a handful of first party offerings set for the rest of 2014, but third party and indie developers have certainly stepped up to help flesh out the list. And let's not forget that there are likely quite a few unannounced games that'll be popping up eventually and, with E3 only a few months away, there's no telling what other surprises might be hiding on the horizon.
In total, 31 games are currently slated for a Spring 2014 launch on the PlayStation 4, including dark RPG Bound by Flame and its indie, more brightly colored counterpart, Child of Light. Horror game Daylight is expected in the next couple of months, alongside Mercenary Kings, Octodad, Secret Ponchos and Trials Fusion.
Summer is unsurprisingly dry, as that's typically when the annual gaming drought hits. There are still plenty of big names on the current 15-game list, including uuber Sci-Fi shooter Destiny, The Evil Within, Murdered: Soul Suspect and the highly anticipated MMORPG, The Elder Scrolls Online.
The second half of the year is also a little light currently but, like I said, most late-year games probably haven't been announced or nailed down for a release date yet. Alien: Isolation and Evolve are hitting the PS4 this fall with Assassin's Creed Unity and Hyper Light Drifter set for the winter.
The biggest list of all is the TBA in 2014 roster, including games like Batman: Arkham Knight, Diablo III, Dying Light, Minecraft, The Order:1886, Planetside 2, Starbound and Transistor.
Yep, it's going to be a busy year for gaming.

Human trials on Hendra virus treatment to begin soon
By David Lewis
Human trials of a treatment for Hendra virus will soon begin, with Queensland researchers now recruiting participants.
Queensland Health Minister Lawrence Springborg says Hendra virus poses a serious health risk to the general public.
"It has caused significant deaths among horses and also, unfortunately, humans," he said.
Four people have died of the disease since 1994.
But it is hoped a treatment developed in collaboration with American scientists could save lives.
Queensland's chief health officer Dr Jeannette Young says the antibody will be given to a small group of healthy adults to evaluate its safety and correct dosage, and to identify any side effects.
"So we can say to people we have a safe treatment that we can offer you," she said.
The $9 million research program has been jointly funded by the Queensland, New South Wales and Federal governments.
Health experts warn the development of a treatment does not eliminate the need for preventative measures.
Dr Young also points out there is only a short window in which the treatment can be administered.
"It's not a treatment should someone actually develop the disease, this won't make any difference," she said.
"This has to be given before someone has developed the disease."
Dr Young says the antibody would be used for vets and horse owners who are exposed to Hendra after coming into contact with sick animals.

I broke down yesterday and went to the doctor (or rather the nurse practitioner) about my swollen ankles. She sent me to the lab this morning and had me move up my semi-annual appointment with the doctor to this next Monday. In other words, she didn't have a clue. I doubt the doctor will either. The ankles, especially the left one, have been badly swollen for two weeks. Last week at camp didn't help any. I climbed up and down that hill a dozen times a day for four days. This morning I awoke with the swelling gone. It's almost 10:00 now and the swelling is coming back up.
Afterward I went to pay for my auto/renters insurance. The Shelter agent, Travis, wasn't in yet. So I went to check on a quote from another agent who is with State Farm. His premium was over $200 higher then the $419 premium I am trying to beat and almost $400 higher then the one other new quote I have from Shelter. Between my age and the two towing job claims I have had in the past two years, I am being priced right out of the market. The Shelter agent checked and they don't raise rates for tows. He is my best quote so far. Insurance is a racket for sure.
Travis is in right now so when I finish this blog, I will go pay my premium.
We are having spaghetti for lunch. Bob is bringing coleslaw again and we will have green beans with it. I already have garlic bread. I will have to come up with dessert.
This afternoon I will elevate my feet and read my three magazines that came while I was at camp. Maybe the swelling will go down.
More later....
I got my insurances paid and the other ones cancelled. Then I came home and fixed lunch.
We had a good lunch and after Bob went home I lay down with my foot elevated and read my magazines until I fell asleep. Missy was on my lap and she took a nap too.
When I awoke I emptied the dishwasher and did some more reading. Bob came over and we went to the funeral home to sign the book for Jack's services tomorrow.
I have my interview with Aime in the morning at 9:00 at the library. After that, as soon as possible, I will get over to the Presbyterian Church for Jack's services.
I raised my feet again this evening to give the swollen ankle a chance to go down. Bob came over at 6:00 and stayed until 7:30 and after he left I took my bath and put my PJs on.
I'll try to stay up until 9:00 so I will sleep better tonight. I hope that nap doesn't ruin my sleep.
Leslie e-mailed me the survey results from camp and almost all of the surveys were very complimentary. After all my work, I feel gratified.

What is the Rookie Riders program?
Rookie Riders is designed as the first step to start kids on the equestrian development Pathway, introducing riding skills, horses and horsemanship to children between 6 and 12 years of age. Students begin on a safe barrel "horse", learning riding and gymnastic activities that begin the development of the skills used in equestrian sport. The program teaches key physical and mental horseback riding skills – balance, body control, agility, flexibility and co-ordination – off the horse.
The program also provides:
At the completion of the program, the child receives:

Making survival bread
February 2017.
Extracting Flour and Making Bread
In this article we look at ways flour can be extracted in a survival situation and how the flour can be baked into bread. Making bread is a valuable survival skill, because bread is a good energy food, lasts fairly well and is easily transported in the form of small loaves, buns or biscuits. Combined with other foodstuffs (nuts, corns, dried fruits, etc.), the nutritional value of the bread increases.
Basic survival wisdom is that a person can last for a long time without food. While this is scientifically true, if you ever do find yourself in a true survival situation where you have to live off the land, being genuinely hungry is one of the most psychologically depressing experiences you will face. I have tried this for real and it is alarming just how rapidly energy levels fall and one's humour goes down. Food in a survival situation is just as vital as water and shelter; the three all rank in equal importance in my opinion. Simply producing something as simple and basic as bread lifts the spirits enormously. It may not taste like the bread you are used to eating, but I can assure you - it fills your stomach and tastes delicious! It is also important to regulate digestion. If you are forced to suddenly eat a whole range of foods that your body is not used to eating, you will suffer from stomach aches, irregular bowel movements, bloating and gas. Adding bead to the diet eases a lot of these discomforts.
Extracting flour
Grains, such as maize, are best pulverized into flour by pounding. Roots, such as cattails, have to be ground between stones. Any plant material that is high in starch is a candidate for making flour from it. All the material has to be dried before attempting to turn it into flour or it will just form a paste. If this happens, leave it to dry out and then continue the process.
This is the traditional method used throughout the Third World even today. You will see this process taking place in most rural African villages. A tub, made from a hollowed-out log is used as the mortar and a long, heavy pole that is rounded at the heavy end is used as the pestle or "pounder".
This technique works well for grains, such as, maize, sorghum, etc. In the photo (above, left) you can see a girl sifting the flour to remove chaff (the husk of the grain). It is not essential to do this, it depends how much roughage you want to have in your finished bread.
Hand grinding of grain or starch-rich roots is a traditional method for producing flour. Basically, the plant material or grain is ground between two stones to reduce it to flour. The choice of stones is important. They must not easily break down or you will end up with a lot of grit in your bread. Hard stone, such as granite, is ideal.
The lower stone, or anvil, has to be relatively flat and heavy. The grinding stone should be heavy, but not so heavy that prolonged use becomes tiring putting a lot of strain on the hands and wrists. It is a worth spending some time just grinding the two stones together before you start grinding your flour. This removes any dirt and particles of stone that would otherwise end up in your bread. Some fine stone particles will end up in your bread anyway, but these will just pass through the digestive system and are harmless. Flour ground in this way is often hand sifted. Spread out the flour and feel with your finger tips for any hard pieces of stone and remove them. You get a second chance at this when you add water and kneed into dough. Any hard pieces should be picked out and removed.
Making bread
Making bread is not a modern skill; evidence shows that Early man developed this skill (bread is one of the oldest prepared foods. Evidence from 30,000 years ago in Europe revealed starch residue on rocks used for pounding plants. It is possible that during this time, starch extract from the roots of plants, such as, cattails and ferns, was spread on a flat rock, placed over a fire and cooked into a primitive form of flatbread. Around 10,000 BC, with the dawn of the Neolithic age and the spread of agriculture, grains became the mainstay of making bread) and made bread for just the same reason as a modern–day survivor would make bread. However, the flour produced in early times was based on very different grains. In various "primitive cultures" even today, a variety of seeds, roots and grains are collected and turned into flour, although there tends to be a reliance on staple grains, such as, sorghum and maize for bread-making.
For our purposes, bread, in its simplest form, is dough made by mixing four with water; the dough is then cooked in an oven to bake it into bread. Even in a survival situation, bread may contain other ingredients, such as milk, egg, sugar, salt, spice, fruit, vegetables, nuts or seeds - depending on the circumstances surrounding the survivor. Bread may be regarded as falling into two types: leavened bread, which uses yeast to make it rise, or unleavened bread (flatbread), which does not use yeast.
It is possible to make both leavened and unleavened bread even in a survival situation. Leavened bread requires yeast to make the dough rise (filling it with gas bubbles). Even though commercially produced baker's yeast may not be available, yeast spores are found everywhere, including on the surface of cereal grains, so any dough left to rest will become naturally leavened as the natural yeast multiplies. Airborne yeasts can be utilized by leaving uncooked dough exposed to warm air for some time before cooking. However, wild yeasts give unpredictable results, some yielding a taste that is not so pleasant; this means that some experimentation is needed. Saving a piece of leavened dough that gave good results is useful, as this can then be used as a leavening agent in future bread making. This sample has to be kept in an airtight wrapping or container. If you can't protect it in this way it is not worth saving it.
Even in a limited situation it is possible to make quite palatable bread. I have done this many times using flour from a variety of plants. I prefer to make unleavened bread, simply because it is less likely to spoil than leavened bread that relies on wild yeasts. Unleavened bread also lasts longer without moulding because it has lower moisture content and is less at risk of attack by fungal spores. Unleavened bread is quickly made, the dough can be mixed, the bread cooked and eaten straight away. It is also easy to cook the bread right-through; leavened bread, if not carefully baked, can be doughy in the interior and is trickier to get right.
Making the dough
In bread making, flour is always stated as 100%, and the rest of the ingredients are a percentage of that amount by weight. It helps to add some salt if you have any; it is best to add salt once you have made the bread dough and after it has rested for 20 minutes. For unleavened bread, use 50% water, for leavened bread, use 60 to 75% water by weight. If you cannot weigh the ingredients, add water to the flour and work it with your fingers until it is firm but not sticky. Add more water or flour until you have a firm, soft ball of dough. If you don't have a bowl to work in, use a flat plank of clean wood, pile the flour into a heap, make a hole in the centre of the heap, pour in a little water and work the flour from the edges to the centre, adding more water or flour as needed.
Once you have a firm, pliable ball of dough, pound it down on your work surface and work it back into a ball a few times. If it sticks to the surface, dust the surface with a little flour. If you want to add seeds, chopped nuts, fruit, etc., do it at this stage and work them well into your ball of dough. Adding 3% by weight of fat to the dough (butter, margarine, animal fat, etc.) will help leavened bread to rise, make unleavened bread less chewy and help the bread to last longer. If you want to make leavened bread, cover the dough and leave it for a few hours to rise in a warm place as the yeast multiplies in the dough. It makes better bread if you pound it back into a ball a couple of times during this process and leave it to rise again.
Whether you make leavened or unleavened bread, it is best in a survival situation to bake buns, biscuits or small loaves. This ensures they cook right through and if you spoil them in the baking, you haven't lost all your precious dough.
Damper is a very traditional and unique style of unleavened bread, which was baked in the hot coals of a cooling camp fire. The name comes from the way the dough was placed in coals of the camp fire after it had been dampened a bit. Originally, damper was a very simple mixture consisting of flour and water, with salt added for flavour. These ingredients were mixed into dough and because cooking pans were an extra burden to carry, the dough was normally placed directly upon the hot coals of an open fire place, being turned over when the first side was cooked. A variation is to wrap the dough around a stick and then cook over an open fire.
During the early days of colonization of Australia damper bread was a staple food in the bush and a favourite of swagmen and drovers because the dry ingredients could be easily carried and they only needed to add water to the mix.
Balls of bread dough can also be dropped into boiling water and cooked this way as dumplings.
Baking bread
There are various ways bread can be baked in a survival situation. In the above photo, unleavened bread dough is being baked on a hot metal plate placed directly over the cooking fire. Greasing the plate improves the bread but do not use too much fat or oil as this then turns into a frying process. A hot, flat rock could be used instead, but take great care when heating any type of stone as the water content in certain stones will expand in the heat causing the stone to explode, sending hot shards of stone flying everywhere. If you heat up stone, first prove it by lighting a fire under it, leaving it to heat up and then cool down a few times without being anywhere remotely nearby.
Making a clay oven
Traditionally, bread (leavened or unleavened) is baked in an oven. It is quite practical to make a bread oven in a survival situation if you are in an area where you have access to clay soil, water and dried grass or straw. Various methods of bread oven construction are possible. The simplest is to make an igloo shape out of bent sticks, weaving more sticks though the basic frame. Cover the frame in a thick layer of clay mixed with straw. It takes a little experimentation to get the ratio of clay to straw correct, if you use too much or too little the clay will crack. The photo below should give you a better idea of the clay/straw ratio. Once you have made your small clay igloo, leave it to dry out naturally for as long as possible.
The next stage is to light a fire inside your clay igloo. The framework of sticks you used to support the clay will burn away and (hopefully) you will be left with the baked clay outer walls. This is your bread oven. Do not make too fierce a fire inside the oven; you are drying out the clay, not making a blast furnace. The photos below show the clay oven before and during firing.
To use the finished oven, build a small fire inside and allow the oven to heat up until the outer surface is too hot to touch. Rake out the burning material and put the bread loaf, cakes, biscuits, etc. inside. To retain the heat in the oven, close the entrance up with piece of wood, clay sods, etc.
There are many possible variations on making a clay oven; the method described above is fast and effective in a survival situation. For a more permanent oven, it is possible to make bricks from clay and straw and build a similar shape to larger dimensions. Instead of using a twig framework, build up the shape with soil, cover the soil in leaves and then plaster over it with your clay and straw. Build up this outer layer and smooth the outer surface using wet hands. Before the clay is dry cut out the opening. Then leave to harden. Once fully dry, dig out the soil with your hands and you are left with the clay oven. Fire the clay oven as described above before using it for the first time. If you want a more permanent oven, build a shelter over it to protect it from rain.
Snake-hole fire
If the weather is particularly stormy, consider making a snake hole fire instead of an open fire:
Choose a section of sloping ground facing into the wind. For this fire to work well it needs a strong draught of air rushing up the tube. Start by digging out the lower fire pit and then dig down from the top. You should be able to get your bent arm from the top hole to the bottom hole. Remove any stones or pebbles as they may explode when heated. The snake-hole should be narrower at the bend than at the exit or entrance to create a "chimney effect". Build a small fire in the lower hole and keep feeding it until it is burning strongly, then push it as far into the hole as possible without putting the fire out. Use long sticks to feed into the fire so you can adjust its heat by either pushing them in to make the fire hotter or pulling them out to reduce the fire's heat.

In the past I've grown beets primarily for their greens in salad blends, however this year I was determined to enjoy the entire plant. While I've never been a fan of pickled or roasted beets, I have found a way I love to eat them. As a result, it's brought my beet consumption from zero to eating beets multiple times a week, and it only takes a few minutes of your time.
Before we dive in, let's talk about the health benefits of beets. They are loaded with nutrients and vitamins, including B vitamins, iron, manganese, copper, magnesium and potassium. It's also a rich source of vitamin c, and a natural source of folate. While this sounds nice, how does that translate into you wanting to actually eat one?
That deep color you find in red beets comes from the betalaine pigment which is an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, as well as a detoxifier. According to a natural society.com article the antioxidant properties in beets can protect you from cancer, the anti-inflammatory properties help prevent many chronic diseases and promote cardiovascular health, not to mention the high fiber found in beets can improve your digestion.
However, cooking beets for even 15 minutes removes much of its nutritional content. And while you can juice beets, I've found a much easier and more appealing way to use them.
Whenever I make a salad, I peel the outer layer off and grate them on a large cutting board, then I sprinkle a handful on top of our salads. That's it!!
And in case you are wondering, they are surprisingly sweet. Our entire family enjoys them.
I've also used grated beets in my Rainbow Salad blend, which is basically a mixture of leaf lettuce and kale greens topped with whatever fresh produce I have on hand at the moment. In the picture above I've grated carrots, a bit of chopped red onion, and fresh Italian parsley. But I've also added grated beets to snow peas, cucumber slices, etc. The more variety of colors you eat, the more antioxidants you are consuming, and the higher your nutrient intake is. So the next time you head to the grocery store, make sure and grab a few beets.
Increasing the amount of fruit and vegetables you eat on a daily basis can have a huge impact on your health. But while they may be good for you, it can be hard to get started. Subscribe to my newsletter, and you'll receive instant access to my free 7 part nutrition series filled with tips, tools, and recipes. You'll also receive a printable shopping list designed by me, just for this series. Each week I'll send you a short lesson about one colorful nutrient. By the end, you'll be enjoying every color of the rainbow. Along the way, you'll have learned valuable information about the role fruits and vegetables play in your health, and best of all you're body will be thanking you.

Due to the swedish weather the year is cut into two training halves. Winter training is focused indoors, summer training is spend out on the lovely river.
During winter (~November to ~March) the club has training sessions several times a week, all within the Ultuna campus area.
Circuit training is open to everone, members and none members!
Mondays and wednesdays are erging sessions that any member can do, indepentend of their experience and fitness level. Sessions are specified by the rowing captain in advance, and are given in such a way that rowers of different level can train side by side. Training is not compulsory, however if you wish to do a competition it's a great place to meet potential crewmates. As a member you can use the equipment outside of club training sessions as well, but it's much more fun to train together!
Sessions using club equipment such as ergs or weights require club membership.
Contact: if you have questions.
During summer (~April to ~November) time is spent on the water.
There are two general club training sessions on Monday and Wednesday evenings (actual training times will change with available daylight). All members are welcome to join the training on the water. The responsible coach will make sure everyone has a boat to row.
There is usually one session at saturday 10 am, where crews are assigned to people.
As an experienced rower (see membership categories) and club member you can sign out boats any time of the week (except for training times).
In preparation for competitions there are also organised trainings for those crews.
Contact: if you have any questions.
In addition to water training there are several rowing machines and a gym for strength training in the clubhouse.

This is the Christmas Greeting sent out by Edition Peters, the music publishing house that is so closely connected to my family heritage. It's so beautiful, I wanted to share it with you for Christmas.
The firm is based in Leipzig, London and New York, and they've found some lovely imagery of each city, to reflect the season. The ensemble is singing in the salon, which was once part of my great-grandfather's apartments 'above the shop', at 10 Talstraße, Leipzig, where my brother and I recently visited. We can find connections everywhere in the world, if we only look for them, but this one is a strong one for me, and to have stood in this room as we did, listening to music as our family did in the pre-war years, before everything changed, was significant.
Happy Christmas, internet friends and followers. Thank you for staying with me through a difficult year. Thank you indeed.
