Citrus Fruits
All the citrus fruits came from the Orient by way of Asia Minor, the Mediterranean, and Spain-Portugal. Columbus took them to the West Indies whence munching Indians spread them wild, and sweating settlers cultivated them, clear across the warm zones of the Americas. Crossbreeding has evolved many hybrids with exotic names and characteristics, some of them hardy enough to be grown as far north as Wilmington, Delaware; Memphis, Tennessee; and Riverside, California. Home owners south of these points and in Hawaii have a wide range of species to experiment with, and vast stores of local lore to draw on for advice.
Growing one's own oranges, limes, lemons, and grapefruit (so called because they grow in clusters) is a pastime throughout the sunshine belt almost as popular as golf, shuffleboard, and girl-watching. Embraced in the modern citrus spectrum are such surprise fruits as the "tangelo," a cross combining the tangerine's loose skin with much of the grapefruit's size, and the tastes of both. The "lime-quat" is a lime-kumquat mongrel that is delicious raw or in marmalade.
As a group, the citrus fruits are easy to plant and cultivate under average conditions of soil moisture and fertility. Once shaped as youngsters, they require little pruning throughout their lives which can outrun their owners'. The bacteria, fungi, and insects which attack the citrus families are more easily controlled by spraying than is the case with pomes and stones. Fumigation with hydrocyanic gas (under tents, at night) can give protection for up to three years, but this had best be done by professional operators, and supplemented by sprays to combat certain insects ordinarily controlled by beneficent agents which the fumigant wipes out.

GOLF.com conducts a weekly roundtable with its staff to break down the game's hottest topics. And since it's Masters week, we are answering one burning question each night. Check in every Sunday evening for the unfiltered opinions of our writers and editors and join the conversation by tweeting us @golf_com.
In Tin Cup-like fashion, Sergio Garcia unloaded five balls into the pond in front of the 15th green during Thursday's first round of the Masters, making a 13. "I don't know what to tell you," Garcia said. "It's one of those things. It's the first time in my career where I make a 13 without missing a shot. Simple as that. I felt like I hit a lot of good shots and unfortunately the ball just didn't stop (rolling off the green)." Was the setup on 15 fair?
Michael Bamberger: I would say yes as many other golfers were able to make scores that were in the 4 to 6 range, which is the norm for said hole.
Alan Shipnuck: It was a couple of paces from being really questionable — Leishman is one of the best chippers in the world and he fell out of the lead by running a ball across the green into the pond. But as Michael noted, plenty of guys navigated it just fine. Sergio had a Tin Cup moment by trying to keep stuffing the ball next to the hole. All he had to do was be a littler more conservative and play it past the flag!
Dylan Dethier: It felt like a throwback: the return of old Sergio! What a tragic, glorious golf moment. Sometimes it's the shots you can't hit that make Augusta tricky — in this case, a high-spinning wedge. Shouldn't this Masters member know better?
Jessica Marksbury: Michael makes a great point. Other players managed to get through the hole relatively unscathed, so saying it's unfair may be too strong. We all know what a great ball-striker Sergio is. Maybe he was a little too laser-focused on hitting it close when he should have just taken his medicine and done some damage control. Alas, hindsight is 20/20.
Jeff Ritter: It was a tough pin on a day filled with them, but one 13 doesn't mean it was unfair. Club up, Sergio! On the bright side, I hear the lobster rice he served at his Champions Dinner was delicious.
Josh Sens: Yes. And of course it was set up the same for everyone. As Peter Kostis noted, Sergio didn't hit any bad shots, but he hit the wrong shots. There was a whiff of the old woe-is-me Sergio to his post-round take. Though who can fault him for the frustration. That was painful to watch.

These Twitter Reactions To The Miss Universe 2017 Gowns Prove Fans Had Their Favorites
Miss Universe 2017 is finally here, and millions of people around the world are watching right now. Whether or not you're a fan of pageants, there's one reason everyone should've tuned into this year's show: the outfits. Think of the stunning gown Miss Colombia wore at last year's pageant that had everyone talking. The pageant is so much more than what the contestants are wearing, but their jaw-dropping gowns definitely give us something to talk about each year. Without fail, seeing the evening gowns portion always makes me want to buy a formal dress, even though I have absolutely nowhere to wear something that nice. I wasn't alone — Twitter was obsessed with several of the gowns from Miss Universe 2017.
We got a preview of each contestant's sense of style during the preliminary competition on Nov. 25. Women from each country modeled stunning evening gowns, national costumes and bathing suits as they participated in the preliminary show. Miss USA Kára McCullough slayed us all in a one-shoulder gold sequined gown, and it got me even more excited for tonight's evening gown portion. There was even drama surrounding it all. Miss Miss Philippines, Rachel Peters, had pictures of her evening gown leaked earlier this week. With all of the excitement surrounding the pageant's formal portion, I knew tonight would be amazing, and it didn't disappoint. Twitter was full of fans who were obsessed with these gowns
Miss Philippines
You know a gown has to live up to hype when it's leaked ahead of time. Rachel Peters definitely managed to kill it in her gown, which Twitter was excited about before she even came on stage.
Once Peters took a strut down the stage, Twitter started to freak out, and I can't blame them. Her gown was to die for, and it's no surprise it was one of the favorites on social media.
Granted, Miss Philippines has a huge social media following partly because pageants are a huge deal in the country, so it makes sense everyone loved her so much. But it'd be silly to just wave off her popularity on social media because of her nation's love for pageants. She's seriously stunning, and it's surprising she didn't advance to the top five.
Miss Jamaica
With her hair in a natural hairstyle and a gown with a cape, Miss Jamaica killed it in this gown. Once I realized Davina Bennett was in the top 10, I immediately texted my mom, who was born in Jamaica — I knew she'd want to see her country represented, and Bennett definitely didn't disappoint. She is seriously stunning, and the yellow gown isn't something that most people could pull off. Regal is the first word that came to mind when I saw her on the stage.
Can you blame people for being shook? From the hair to the dress to the effortless confidence she exuded, Bennett was the definition of black girl magic during the pageant. I loved every minute of it.
Miss Thailand
I was mainly jealous when I saw Miss Thailand's evening gown, because I could never pull off the stunning dress she was wearing. It had a plunging neckline and screamed "drama," but in all the right ways. This is the dress you'd wear to an ex's funeral if you wanted to make sure everyone knew who really won in the end. I'm obsessed with Maria Poonlertlarp Ehren for wearing this, and Twitter is on the same page.
All of the gowns worn during Miss Universe 2017 were seriously stunning, but these three really stuck out to me and the rest of the Internet. Funnily enough, Miss South Africa's gown wasn't discussed very much, but I'm sure the new Miss Universe doesn't mind.

East of the Guadalquivir River mouth is one of the most rewarding and least visited areas of Doñana National Park. Indeed, we are talking about the section of the park within the province of Cadiz. Here, a mosaic of fish farming and salt work facilities, along with lagoons, vineyards and pastures, creates a diverse wetland.
Birdlife of Doñana
This side of the park holds species as interesting as Marbled Teal, White-headed Duck, Slender-billed Gull, Whiskered Tern, Glossy Ibis, Greater Flamingo, Eurasian Spoonbill, Rufous-tailed Scrub Robin, Spectacled Warbler, Lesser Short-toed Lark, etc.
An excursion to this region in northern Cádiz makes a perfect destination for a day trip from Tarifa. Moreover, you can can combine this journey with a visit to the only breeding colony of Little Swifts in Europe.
Contact us if you want us to arrange a trip to discover the unknown side of Doñana National Park for you.

tag:theconversation.com,2011:/us/topics/eclampsia-894/articles Eclampsia – The Conversation 2015-04-08T04:36:31Z tag:theconversation.com,2011:article/28851 2015-04-08T04:36:31Z 2015-04-08T04:36:31Z Explainer: what is placenta?

The placenta plays a critical role in pregnancy, fetal development and health throughout life Remy Sharp/Flickr, CC BY-SA

An incredibly complex and important organ in its own right, the placenta is only found in mammals. And how it functions has the potential to have profound effects on the lifelong health of the developing foetus.

The placenta exists solely during pregnancy, and plays a crucial role in nurturing and protecting the foetus throughout gestation. It's connected to the foetus via the umbilical cord and attached to the wall of the womb, allowing for essential exchanges of nutrients, gases and waste with the mother's circulation.

Placenta is composed of maternal and foetal parts, which are known as the basal and chorionic plates, respectively. Nutrients are exchanged through the maternal blood entering the foetal section, but maternal and foetal blood don't actually mingle; they're separated by arteries and capillaries.

Interestingly, the placenta has a gender matching that of the foetus, indicated with the presence of either XX or XY sex chromosomes. But placental sex is not used to test fetal gender as that would require invasive surgical tests and add unnecessary risk to the pregnancy.

In the beginning

The placenta begins developing once the embryo is implanted into the wall of the uterus. During the nine months of pregnancy, it increases in size and performs several vital functions. It regulates the exchange of nutrients for foetal growth and development, the exchange of gases including oxygen and carbon dioxide, and hormone secretion.

It also protects the foetus from toxins and infections as well as the mother's immune system, which would otherwise regard it as a foreign invader. This is a critical aspect of placental physiology; if the mother's immune system rejects the foetus, it will spontaneously abort.

In order to prepare the developing foetus for the world it will inhabit after pregnancy, the placenta is very sensitive to the mother's environment. It's able to adjust its functions in response to external cues, such as the mother's diet or environmental pollutants, which can then alter foetal development.

Maternal diet plays a major role in foetal development; studies show eating a balanced diet of fruit, vegetables, and lean meat helps reach a good birth weight. But exposure to pollutants, such as car exhaust fumes, can have a negative impact and may increase the risk of the child developing asthma.

Permanent changes to the developing foetus's physiology during development is known as foetal programming. And variations in the development of organs and systems within the foetus may increase lifetime susceptibility to cancer, heart disease, allergies and other diseases.

The mechanisms underlying these susceptibilities are incredibly complex and we're only now beginning to understand them. One of them is epigenetics, which changes foetal gene expression, altering the physiology and functioning of the foetus throughout life.

What can go wrong

Placental disorders can cause serious health complications during pregnancy for both the foetus and mother. They can result in abnormal foetal development, growth restriction, malformations, miscarriage or stillbirth, and may even endanger the mother's life.

Because the placenta keeps forming throughout pregnancy, abnormalities in its structure and implantation into the uterine wall can happen at any time. Placental abruption, for instance, occurs in approximately one in a 100 pregnancies. Abruption is either the partial or full detachment of the placenta from the uterine wall. And it can deprive the foetus of oxygen and nutrients, potentially leading to preterm birth or stillbirth.

One of the most common disorders of pregnancy is pre-eclampsia, which occurs in 3% to 7% of all pregnancies; it's the leading cause of maternal health complication and death. Characterised by high blood pressure and protein in the urine, pre-eclampsia can lead to permanent vascular and metabolic damage in the mother.

The exact cause of the disorder is unknown, but it's thought several factors including poor diet, high body fat, a history of high blood pressure and genetics may all play a role. Abnormal placental development and function is thought to be another major contributing factor.

If left untreated, pre-eclampsia can develop into eclampsia, which is characterised by cerebral fluid build-up and seizures. Once the placenta is removed, pre-eclampsia and eclampsia end.

The placenta can become infected by bacteria, viruses or parasites which can lead to abnormal foetal development, preterm birth or foetal death. This occurs mostly in developing countries such as Africa, where the malaria parasite contributes to 100,000 deaths annually as a result of severe foetal growth restriction.

Finally, cancer of the placenta, known as choriocarcinoma, occurs in approximately one in 20,000 to 40,000 pregnancies. This cancer usually spreads to lungs and while it can be life-threatening, the cure rate is over 90%. It's very responsive to chemotherapy, which is given after the baby is born.

Cultural significance

The placenta has little cultural value in Western countries; it's often unrecognised by parents as being fundamental for a healthy and successful pregnancy. So, it's usually discarded after childbirth.

But some other cultures hold great respect for this uniquely temporary organ, and have the mother eat it, in a practice known as human placentophagy. According to traditional Chinese medicine, for instance, the placenta is thought to rejuvenate the body after childbirth.

This practice has recently become more popular in Western culture but remains highly controversial, mostly due to the cannabalistic nature of the act. There are few scientific studies examining the benefits of placentophagy, but it's worth noting that out of the several thousand mammalian species, humans are among only a handful that don't regularly consume the placenta.

Different cultures hold a variety of beliefs about the placenta. Indonesian and Malaysian cultures consider the placenta to be a sibling of the newborn, for instance. And, in China, it's thought to be its first and finest clothing. They all have a deep reverence and appreciation for the placenta and its ceremonial role in the birthing event.

The placenta plays a critical role in pregnancy, foetal development and health throughout life. It may only be a temporary organ, but plays some of the most important roles in sustaining early life.

 An incredibly complex and important organ in its own right, the placenta is only found in mammals. And how it functions has the potential to have profound effects on the lifelong health of the developing foetus.

text: Hailing from Middletown, NY, My Bitter End emerged from the remnants of an earlier band named ForOrdained, and recorded their first album, A Thin Line Between Heaven and Here, for release through Inner Strength Records, in 2004. The bandmembers weren't too happy with the somewhat muddled, indistinctive metalcore results, however, so after parting ways with the label, their singer, and one of two guitarist, My Bitter End's new lineup of Tyler Guida (vocals), Todd Ranne (guitar), AJ Tompkins (guitar), Shawn Jennings (bass), and Michael Ranne (drums) upped the creative ante in terms of both musicianship and compositional ambition for their 2006 follow-up, The Renovation. Released through Uprising Records, the sophomore disc indeed featured a far more complex array of metal and hardcore influences, and set them up for a national tour with Emmure and For the Fallen Dreams. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia

Lemon-Strawberry Shortcakes
Our Sweet Basil Kitchen Cookbook
- 1 pint strawberries, sliced
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold, unsalted butter, cut in small cubes
- 1 large egg, slightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup heavy cream, plus a few tablespoons for topping
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 2 cups sweetened whipped cream
Cooking Instructions:
Toss strawberries with 2 tablespoons of the sugar in a medium bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.
In a separate, medium bowl, whisk together 5 tablespoons of the sugar, the flour, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest.
With a pastry cutter or 2 knives, cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles small peas.
Add the slightly beaten egg, lemon juice, 1/4 cup heavy cream, and milk to the dry ingredients and use a fork to gently mix.
Turn out dough on a lightly floured surface and gently knead until everything is holding together. Roll the dough out to 1/2-inch thick and use a glass or biscuit cutter to cut out shortcakes.
Place cut shortcakes on a baking sheet, wrap with plastic wrap, and let rest in the refrigerator 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 425° F.
Remove shortcakes from fridge, brush the tops with the remaining heavy cream, and sprinkle with remaining sugar. Bake 12 to 15 minutes.
Cool cakes, split them open (or use 2 per person), and top with prepared berries and whipped cream.
Serves 8.
Cookies and Cream Frozen Custard
Our Sweet Basil Kitchen Cookbook
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup half-and-half
- 1¼ cups granulated sugar
- 1 vanilla bean, seeds scraped out and reserved
- 6 egg yolks
- 1½ sleeves Oreo cookies, coarsely chopped or crumbled
Cooking Instructions:
In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the cream, half-and-half, sugar, and the vanilla bean pod and seeds. Stir occasionally, heating the mixture until bubbles form around the edges. Remove from heat.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, vigorously whisk 6 egg yolks together until thick, frothy, and pale yellow in color. After removing the cream mixture from the heat, spoon 5 tablespoons of the hot cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, into the eggs while whisking continuously. This tempers the eggs so they do not begin to scramble when added to the hot cream. Return the saucepan of hot cream to the burner, set heat to medium-low, and slowly whisk in the tempered eggs, stirring constantly.
Heat, stirring continuously, until thickened. You should be able to dip a spoon into the mixture and have the cream coat the back of the spoon. To test, drag your finger through the cream on the back of the spoon; if it leaves a trail, you're done. Don't allow cream to get hotter than 160° F.
Remove from heat, cool slightly, and then chill in the refrigerator covered in plastic wrap for several hours or overnight.
Once the mixture is chilled, remove the bean pod, and freeze according to the manufacturer's directions for your 4- to 5-quart ice cream maker.
When ice cream is almost done churning, add 2/3 of the crushed Oreo cookies to the ice cream and let machine finish churning. Transfer ice cream to a freezer-safe container a few scoops at a time, adding some of the remaining cookie pieces after every few scoops. Freeze at least 4 hours before serving.
Serves 4 to 6.
Lemon Cheesecake Mousse Cups
Our Sweet Basil Kitchen Cookbook
- 2 cups heavy cream, divided
- 2 cups powdered sugar, divided
- 3 (8 oz.) packages cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups Lemon Curd (see recipe below)
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 4 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin
- 1/2 teaspoon yellow food coloring (optional)
- Fresh blackberries, strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries for serving
- 1/2 lemon, sliced and quartered for garnishing
Cooking Instructions:
In a medium bowl with an electric mixer, beat the heavy cream into stiff peaks. Add 1/4 cup of the powdered sugar and beat again to incorporate; set aside. In a large bowl, using a handheld mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth, about 2–3 minutes. Add in the lemon zest, lemon curd, and 3/4 cup of the powdered sugar; beat again until smooth and set aside. In a small, microwave-safe bowl, stir together the water and lemon juice and sprinkle the gelatin over the top. Let sit for 1 minute. Heat gelatin mixture in the microwave on high power for 25 seconds. Let it rest 2 to 3 minutes and then beat it into cream cheese mixture. Fold in half of the whipped cream until combined well. Spoon (or add mousse to a pastry bag and pipe it) into serving dishes. Chill in refrigerator 2 hours, up to overnight, reserving leftover whipped cream in the fridge until ready to serve. For serving, pile the top of each dish with fruit, give the whipped cream a good whisking again and add a dollop to each dish. Garnish with lemon wedges and serve immediately. Serves 4.
Lemon Curd
- 6 large eggs
- 8 large egg yolks
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 1 1/2 cups fresh lemon juice (about 6 to 8 large lemons)
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- Pinch salt
- 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, chopped
Cooking Instructions:
In a large bowl, beat the eggs and egg yolks together until pale in color, about 1 minute; set aside.
In a heavy pot over medium heat, combine the lemon zest, juice, sugar, and salt. Cook, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved, about 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and whisk a few tablespoons of the hot lemon mixture into the beaten eggs to temper them.
Stir the tempered eggs into the hot lemon and return saucepan to burner. Cook over medium heat 5 to 8 minutes, or until the mixture coats the back of a spoon and is thickened.
Remove from heat and press through a mesh strainer over a clean bowl to remove any tiny pieces of cooked egg.
Quickly stir in the butter until melted and combined.
Fill a container or bowl with the curd and press plastic wrap tightly against the top (this prevents a skin from forming on top). Refrigerate until cool. Store in an airtight container with plastic wrap up to 2 weeks.

I really didn't want to title this Tokyo Joypolis, Yokohama Cosmo World, and Sea Paradise Trip Report 9/27/18. That's just too long and boring of a title for a trip report to three parks in one day…but that's basically what this blog post is.
First park of the day was Tokyo Joypolis, Sega themed theme park that all indoors!
First things first…the coaster credit! Get it outta the way! Gekion Live Coaster is a interactive dark spinning coaster that features a launch and a zero g roll. The dark ride section takes up most of the ride. The interactive part is playing a Guitar Hero style game. You have four buttons on your harness and you need to hit the buttons with the same timing as one on screen. After the dark ride sections, you get launched into a zero g roll while spinning. It has a short section afterwards that's more like a traditional Gerstlauer spinner. Overall, it's pretty good and the coaster portion is better than anything on Time Traveler. Sorry had to throw that shade there, because Time Traveler should not have been a spinner.
Like I said, this park is pretty much all Sega themed. Sonic the Hedgehog appears many times including his own restaurant serving Chili Dogs (Sonic's favorite if you didn't know). As much presence as he has in this park, Sonic lacks his own ride in the park. He's mostly just figure head of the park with some arcade games with his franchise and a lot of merch. Sonic related items are literally the only thing they sell here.
The park was home to not many rides. Most have some video game component to them. There was this one thing where you raced on a bobsled track (virtually) and it would give a prompt to turn your throttle a certain way and if done properly, you'll get a huge boost and your ride vehicle will start flipping upside a bunch of times! It was awesome!
Not too much to see here for Coaster Enthusiasts, but if you love video games or Sega in general, this is a must do in Tokyo!
Onto Yokohama Cosmo World! Home to the famous Diving Coaster Vanish!
First off, the spinning mouse. I don't remember the exact name, nor am I gonna RCDB it right now. I think it was called Crazy Mouse, but don't quote me on it. It's a typical Reverchon spinning mouse. Same as Exterminator at Kennywood or Raton Loco at La Feria. They're fun, but nothing outstanding. We went here first to beat the crowd. Good choice, because when we got off the line was probably 20-30 mins.
We knew Vanish would have a line still from all the ACErs, so went to the Log Flume first.
I always heard there was a crazy yeet flume in Japan, but I actually thought it was the Tokyo Dome City one, not this one. I missed that one over there so I don't know what that flume was like. I didn't tuck my lanyard in thinking it was a normal flume. Nope, this ain't not normal flume! as soon as we hit the drop, random ejector airtime and my lanyard goes flying. RIP lanyard 2018-2018.
Vanish was ten min wait at this time, so we figured, that's the shortest we'll wait for a one train coaster with 170 ACErs in the park. Overall, it's not an outstanding coaster by means. It's more a long the lines the NYNY Coaster in Vegas, but glass smooth. Nothing amazing, but hey, it's smooth as butter. The only reason it's famous is for the drop that goes underwater. It's a coaster I rather watch than ride. There's not much room for tall people.
The park is sorta separated into two parks. You have to go outside the park to the main road and walk on the side across until you cross this river. The second half of the park is on this side.
There's one reason to come over here. Family Banana Coaster! This whole area of the park is more or less a kids area, with one major flat being a giant enterprise.
Senyo does not manufacture their rides with American Coaster Enthusiasts in mind. It's gonna be a tight fit! Also this ride randomly has onboard audio.
Before heading back over to the fun side of the park, I did notice an awesome ice cream stand selling these. Had to get one!
We only about $35 US dollars worth of credits on our pass and we basically used them all. We had enough for some shooter dark ride. After that, all the ACErs sat down and had some lunch by Vanish and watched it go by till we had to leave.
Cosmo World is a fun little park with one of the best flumes on the planet!
Last park of the day, Sea Paradise!
The only coaster at this park is Surf Coaster Leviathan, a Togo Hyper-lite. This coaster extends 200′ over the ocean and is packed full ejector airtime and forceful helices!
At this point of the East Meets ACE trip, this was my favorite coaster on it.
Blue Fall is the tallest freestanding drop tower in the world! But guess what! It's closed! We saw it cycling when we got there, but the park official said that it was down for maintenance and their maintenance crew was test cycling it. Sad that we missed it, but nothing you can when it's an Intamin.
This park is basically the Seaworld San Diego of Japan. One major coaster (I haven't been since Electric Eel), a sky tower, a rapids ride, a chute rides (this one not being a technical coaster), animals, and a few kiddie/family flats. We ended up riding Aqua Ride ll (rapids ride) three times without getting up! It was nothing special, but it was fun nonetheless.
I'm pretty sure this park is actually not all amusement park and is a wharf too. People had their dogs with them, there were boats sitting out on the water. This place didn't really have an amusement/theme park feel. All the rides are far separated so its like being at a city park on the water for most of our visit.
We had about 25 mins left. Time to finish out with a few more rides on Surf Coaster!
The restraints on this ride are really weird. They have these huge balky lapbars. They didn't come down very far on us big people. And the sketchy thing is that the lapbar isn't very wide so I riding the ride without any part of my body touching the restraint as I just spread my legs out to the side.

Tara Westover's Educated caught my eye the moment I saw the cover. I loved the idea of a memoir centered around education and what education means, especially since it's played such a huge role in my own life. This book is not at all what I was expecting, but it was far better than I could have imagined.
(All reviews are spoiler-free unless otherwise noted.)
(From Goodreads)Tara Westover was seventeen the first time she set foot in a classroom. Born to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho, she prepared for the end of the world by stockpiling home-canned peaches and sleeping with her "head-for-the-hills bag." In the summer she stewed herbs for her mother, a midwife and healer, and in the winter she salvaged in her father's junkyard.
Her father forbade hospitals, so Tara never saw a doctor or nurse. Gashes and concussions, even burns from explosions, were all treated at home with herbalism. The family was so isolated from mainstream society that there was no one to ensure the children received an education, and no one to intervene when one of Tara's older brothers became violent.
Then, lacking any formal education, Tara began to educate herself. She taught herself enough mathematics and grammar to be admitted to Brigham Young University, where she studied history, learning for the first time about important world events like the Holocaust and the civil rights movement. Her quest for knowledge transformed her, taking her over oceans and across continents, to Harvard and to Cambridge. Only then would she wonder if she'd traveled too far, if there was still a way home.
Educated is an account of the struggle for self-invention. It is a tale of fierce family loyalty, and of the grief that comes with severing the closest of ties. With the acute insight that distinguishes all great writers, Westover has crafted a universal coming-of-age story that gets to the heart of what an education is and what it offers: the perspective to see one's life through new eyes, and the will to change it.
I don't even know where to start with this book. Educated was probably one of the most difficult memoirs I've ever read, but it was worth every second. While the book as a whole illustrates the difference education can play in a person's life, that isn't exactly the whole story. This book is about a very dysfunctional family suffering under their patriarch's mental illness. Tara's father stopped his children from going to school because he didn't want them to be in any way involved with the government (or the Illuminati).
Three of the seven children – including Tara – decided to educate themselves and go to college (which their father strongly disapproved of). In this book, we learn about Tara's journey of self-discovery and the challenges she faced in balancing her education with her harsh Mormon upbringing. (Note: I have nothing against Mormonism, but her family took it to an insane extreme, and extremes in any religion can be dangerous.) I was raised Catholic, and I definitely identified with Tara's struggle to examine things she'd been taught to believe without question. I loved her take on what she called her education – which was both formal and informal – and really think this is a valuable read for anyone who is having a hard time becoming their own person in a family resistant to change.
I don't want to give away too much about the story, but it was really great. Brilliantly written – I loved the way Tara describes the shocking events of her life as simple facts – and utterly heartbreaking. I haven't been able to stop thinking about it.
★★★★★ – I loved this book! The subject matter made it difficult to read at times, but I still had a hard time putting it down. Educated has been compared to The Glass Castle, and I absolutely agree. It's a different story, but I think fans of The Glass Castle will love this book just as much. If you like The Glass Castle, if you like memoirs, or if you're just looking for a great story, I highly recommend Educated.
Educated will be released on February 20. You can preorder it on Amazon now! (They have release day delivery. Just saying.)

Buffalo Bills Position Previews – WR
by Paul Peck, Buffalo Sports Page
Likely Starters: Sammy Watkins, Zay Jones, Andre Holmes
Potential Backups: Philly Brown, Rod Streater, Brandon Tate, Walter Powell, Dezmin Lewis, Rashad Ross, Dakiel Shorts
The receiver position for the Bills starts and ends with the health of Sammy Watkins. Healthy, he's a game-breaker and one of the best in the league. No matter what other receivers play, if Watkins is healthy it's a position of strength. If he's not healthy, the Bills offense will ask a lot of rookie Jones to become the main target. The Bills are wisely being cautious with Watkins. It's a good sign that he's full-go for the start of training camp and already making one-handed catches. But I would hope the team would limit his camp and preseason reps. Why risk it? He should already have enough timing with Tyrod Taylor that the missed practice time shouldn't be an issue. Yes, I'm starting to worry that Watkins' foot issues may never allow him to be the player he was drafted to be. But other top receivers like Julio Jones and Dez Bryant have come back from similar foot injuries. So there is hope that the latest surgery will fix the problem.
Jones will likely assume the other starting spot, and spend a lot of time in the slot. He would appear to be an outstanding possession receiver. That's a compliment, not a criticism. In college, he caught a lot of passes (399) but had a limited yards per catch (10.7). I don't see that as a negative. East Carolina fed him the ball, which is why he averaged eight catches per game. He's not a burner, and the Bills won't use him to run deep patterns. That's Watkins department. Jones should be a nice balance for Sammy, and that will help both guys.
I like Andre Holmes as the other starter outside in three-receiver sets. He's six-footfour, and the Bills don't have anyone else that size. They likely won't throw to him a lot, but he's a red zone target they haven't had in years.
Philly Brown is a veteran backup who comes with Sean McDermott from Carolina. He'll play a small role in the offense, and contribute on special teams. Rod Streater had some success in Oakland, much like Holmes. A solid veteran who can fill in if he makes the team. Brandon Tate should be the main returner, backup, and special teams coverage guy.
The team did entertain veteran Anquan Boldin on a free agent visit. He would be a great addition, as much for his experience and knowledge as for his skill at making tough catches in traffic. I would be surprised, as I sense the team won't break the bank for him and Boldin may be looking for a team with a better QB and better playoff hopes.
Overall, the success of the position depends on Watkins. He's a difference-maker, if healthy. The rest of the players are just guys. Maybe enough to win with as a group. But that's asking a lot, and asking a question the Bills would prefer not to ask.

Visiting orphanages must be the highlight of any of my international trips, and I certainly enjoyed today's trip to meet some teenagers in Vratsa, Bulgaria. Meeting youth in each country, and discovering their unique humanity, inspires me. On the other hand, it is the absolute worst part of any trip.
Sometimes, let's confess, we might prefer to keep children in the orphanage, tucked away in an institution dedicated to their care and development. Perhaps we like the idea of having a place to go and visit cute children who are happy to see us, or at least they seem to be. After a short while, we get to leave and go home. And (can we dare say it?) leave them there waiting our next visit.
I have previously been guilty of this line of thinking, and I am ashamed.
Children do not belong in orphanages, even though a great many of their caregivers are dedicated and compassionate professionals. I have met too many children whom we are leaving behind and quite honestly, I am so tired.
So, so tired.
I am done walking away, satisfied that they are in a "good enough" place. Where they are is NOT good enough. They are institutionalized. Children do not belong in orphanages. We at WACAP believe in the power of family to change lives.
Today in Bulgaria, we enjoyed "Baba Marta" Day, celebrating spring and wishing health and a bright future for new friends and old. I met many new friends today: Nicky, Victor, Sara. What will their future be like? They live with 47 other children in just one of Bulgaria's orphanages. They are engaging teenagers who know communal living but have no idea what it's like to have a loving, safe mom or dad. They have no one to be their champion, to commit to them as they grow into their potential rather than the donated, secondhand clothes that don't quite fit. I believe that these teens, and the many more like them in Bulgaria and around the world, deserve families.
Nicky is learning English and proudly introduced me to his friends. Two adolescent girls I met are looking forward to cosmetology school, so that they can support themselves when forced to leave the orphanage, a back-handed 'gift' of independence awaiting their eighteenth birthday.
Today, I am haunted by the quote on one bedroom door which demanded, "Always kiss me goodnight," to no one in particular.
Don't you think we can do better for these children? If not us, then who?
Adopt. Volunteer. Donate. Make it happen. End the wait.

She moves towards me,
Paying no mind to whether
The moon be full or no.
She drifts away,
In sun-time
Or in shadow.
I guess
There will always be –
There have always been –
A coming together,
A moving apart.
Isn't that the
Challenge we all deal with ?
Isn't that the
We watch so
Damned closely:
Strung between the
Glory-cruel tenterhooks?

mini herb and cheese frittatas
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
mini frittatas make a quick and easy
clean out the fridge breakfast
I love a good clean out the fridge meal.
I have a number of great go-to dinner ideas to use up leftover meat and veggies; pasta, salads, and these stuffed baked potatoes are regulars on our weekly menu rotation.
But the other weekend as I was making breakfast I realized what a great base eggs are. You can add pretty much anything. Meat, veggies, cheese, herbs, more cheese.
Eggs are like the pasta of breakfast foods. Throw it in and it's good to go.
I usually make one fritatta for the four of us, but minis mean everyone gets exactly what they want. Plue they're pretty darn cute.
Prosciutto and cheese for Charlie.
Tomato, basil, and mozzarella for Stella.
Mixed herbs and goat cheese for the adults.
The possibilities are endless, and its a great way to use up the bits and pieces that get stuck in the back of the fridge.
- 6 eggs
- 1/4 whole milk
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- tomatoes {I used 1/2 cherry tomato for each mini frittata}
- 1 slice or prosciutto diced
- 2 Tbsp mixed herbs such as basil, thyme, cilantro
- shredded cheese {about 1/4 cup total} I used mozzarella, blue, and goat
- pre-heat the oven to 375
- spray a mini muffin pan with cooking spray
- whisk together the eggs, milk, salt and pepper
- divide eggs among the muffin cups
- add mix-ins, I made 8 of each of the three varieties
- bake until the eggs are set - about 10 minutes

I have always been the kind of person who needs food first thing in the morning. Usually this food has been some sort of carbohydrate that pairs perfectly with coffee. When I became interested in food and nutrition I realized that a high carb meal was not a healthy way to start the day. Blood sugar swings can leave you hungry and unproductive within a few hours. This is why I started making my own "muffins." The recipe has evolved over the years. I first started with nut butters but realized they were too expensive. I originally didn't put herbs in them but I feel like adding herbs to my baked goods is a great way to get a little amount in everyday. This too is cheaper than buying pills or tinctures.
I am going to add a recipe here but it is really just the bones. Please have fun with this and add or leave out whatever you like. Not everyone likes the flavor of these herbs. Not everyone likes brazil nuts. I chose brazil nuts for their selenium (good for the thyroid) and pumpkin seeds for their zinc (great for hormone balance and immune support.) The coconut oil is great for the gut and the eggs and gelatin give these "wods" more protein and healthy fats. You can sun out butter or even play with the flax eggs if you want to keep these vegan.
Breakfast "Wods"
- Oven
- Food Processor
- Measuring cups
- 1 Cup Chopped Brazil Nuts
- 1 Cup Chopped Sprouted Pumpkin Seeds
- .5 Cup Coconut Oil Melted
- 2 tbsp Maca
- 2 tbsp Shatavari
- 2 tbsp Ashwagandha
- 2 tbsp Great Lakes Gelatin
- 6 Eggs
- .5 Cup Sweetener of choice. Honey, Maple Syrup, Swerve, or Coconut sugar
- .5 tsp Baking Soda
- .5 tsp Baking Powder
- 1 pinch Salt
- Almond milk if needed
- Preheat Oven to 350F
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a muffin tin with silicone muffin liners.
- Add nuts and seeds to food processor and pulse until well crumbled.
- Melt coconut oil.
- Whisk eggs, sugar and coconut oil together.
- Add nuts, seeds and herbal powders together in a bowl. Mix until well combined.
- Add baking soda, salt and baking powder.
- Add any other fun flavors here. Cardamom, vanilla, ginger, clove, or whatever you like.
- Add the wet mixture to the dry and slowly stir until well combined.
- Add any almond or coconut milk if the batter is too thick. You can also add a tablespoon of almond flour or coconut flour if the batter is too thin.
- Portion mixture into muffin tin or drop on sheet pan for cookies.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes. Keep an eye out for any burning.
- Let cool and enjoy in the morning with a cup of Rasa herbal coffee.

Solving Equations Systems
To solve equations systems in algebraic way, we have to end up to an equation that has only one unknown variable. To do this, we can add two equations together to zero out unknown variables or we can substitute a variable from one equation to another.
This technique will be explained by the following example:
Multiply the first equation by 3 and the second by -5:
Add the second equation to the first:
Multiply the second equation by 6 and the third by 15:
Add the third equation to the second:
Solve the second equation for x2:
Substitute the second equation to the first:
From the first equation we get x3=1. Substituting x3 to the second we get x2=-4 and form the third we get x1=3.
So the solution of the equations system using the algebraic way of solving it is:

What is flying trapeze?
Flying trapeze is a circus act where a person swings through the air on a bar connected to two cables. The "flier" jumps from a platform while holding onto the trapeze bar and swings, flips, and twists through the air to be caught by a second person, known as the 'catcher.'
The flying trapeze was invented in 1859 by a Frenchman, Jules Leotard, who connected a bar to two cords above the swimming pool in his father's gymnasium in Toulouse. He became so famous that he performed his act for European aristocracy. He is now honoured by having the trapeze artist's costume named after him: the leotard.
Will I get to fly in my first flying trapeze class?
We start each class with "ground school," where you will learn basic positions close to the ground. Then, with the assistance of our instructors, you will attempt it on the flying trapeze.
We teach each student according to individual comfort and skill levels, and allow students to advance at their own pace.
All flying trapeze classes start with a quick warm up and a stretch, followed by our "ground school" lesson, where we teach you the trick you will do on a low practice bar. Then everyone is fitted with a safety harness, and the rest of the class is spent doing the flying trapeze.
Flying trapeze classes have a minimum of 3 students, and a maximum of 10.
flying trapeze • tricks & catching
We recommend this class for first-time flyers.
Tricks & catching classes start the same as all of our other classes, but end with a round or two (depending on class size) of catching, where everyone who is ready is given the opportunity to do their trick and then be caught and swing with one of our instructors. Students who are not ready to attempt the catch will continue to work on their trick, so they will still get the same amount of turns.
Single Class – $69
5-Pack Punch Cards – $224
10-Pack Punch Cards – $428
What is your cancellation policy?
You can cancel and reschedule for ANY reason up to 24 hours before a class (you have the flu, you're getting hitched in Vegas, you'd rather stay home and watch Netflix, etc.). Under 24 hours means you forfeit the class, regardless of the reason (we absolutely care, we just have to pay for the space and our hard-working instructors). All payments for monthly memberships, punch cards, workshops, private lessons, and drop-ins are non-refundable.
Memberships and Punch Cards
Class cancellations paid for by membership or punch cards are covered under our Classes Cancellation Policy. All payments for monthly memberships, punch cards, workshops, private lessons, and drop-ins are non-refundable.
- If you need to cancel or reschedule a private party or group event for any reason, our cancellation policy is as follows:
- Up to 2 weeks prior to the party: full refund less a $15 administration/service fee.
- Less than 2 weeks but more than 48 hours prior to the party: 80% refund.

How Early Should You Freeze Your Eggs?
Lots of our readers have questions about egg freezing, particularly regarding the best time to do it. So we sat down with leading fertility expert Mr Rehan Salim, Consultant at the Wolfson Fertility Centre at Hammersmith Hospital, to get some clarity.
Women are born with all their eggs so the egg supply is finite and cannot be replenished. We believe that the best eggs are released early in reproductive life so the best time to freeze your eggs is in your prime reproductive years. In your 20s, your eggs are at their peak in terms of quality and quantity. Fertility declines throughout a woman's thirties, with the risk of infertility increasing with age.
There are many reasons you might choose to freeze your eggs. Sometimes when women are at peak fertility, starting a family simply isn't feasible for various reasons. Medical interventions like chemotherapy for cancer could compromise fertility, they may not have found the right partner yet, or be ready for a baby. These are all completely legitimate concerns and egg freezing can offer a very practical solution.
Fertility technology is ever more sophisticated and egg-freezing methods have consistently improved. The Wolfson Fertility Centre offers comprehensive fertility and IVF interventions for private patients at Hammersmith Hospital. The clinic has been preserving eggs, sperm and embryos for decades and has a long track record of gold standard storage.
Egg freezing has seen countless couples realise their dream of a family later in life. Mr Rehan Salim, Consultant at the
Wolfson Fertility Centre at Hammersmith Hospital, advised that in order to have the best chance, it is key to preserve the eggs when they are still of good quality. Although being in good health is important, the older a woman gets, the greater the percentage of eggs that have genetic abnormalities. This is why older women can experience difficulty in getting pregnant, have a higher rate of miscarriage and increased risk of having a baby with chromosomal abnormalities such as Down's Syndrome.
While this is not to say an older woman cannot have a healthy unassisted pregnancy, it is vital to be aware of these factors when making these decisions.
Mr Salim explained: "At age 30, a woman's chance of getting pregnant each month is around 20%. From approximately age of 32, a woman's chance of getting pregnant is expected to decline year on year. Then at 35 the rate of the decline speeds up and by age 40, the chance of getting pregnant is around 5% and more than half of all couples are infertile. By the time a woman is age 45, she has a less than 5% chance of conceiving. Unfortunately, every woman will eventually run out of healthy eggs one day."
"Due to the decline in egg quality with age, if you are going to freeze your eggs, I would advise to do it as early as you can when your eggs are at their best – ideally in your 20s or early 30s."
Want to freeze your eggs? Private Pregnancy UK can help you find a Top Fertility Clinic or Private Fertility Consultant.
One woman's fertile life span may be shorter than others. To get a sense of yours, clinics like The Wolfson Fertility Centre offer fertility assessments such as hormone and AMH blood testing and antral follicle counts. These tests provide a picture of your ovarian reserve, helping you to decide if egg preservation might be right for you or not.
Are you interested in egg freezing? Find out more about the fertility services available at Wolfson Fertility Centre at Hammersmith Hospital. You can also attend one of their monthly fertility open evenings to speak to the team in person.
The private services at the Wolfson Fertility Centre are delivered by Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust in collaboration with Imperial Private Healthcare.

text: Share SHARE PRINT What does brexit mean for investors? 09 January 2019 Firstly a disclaimer: Given the pace with which the Brexit negotiations are moving at the time of writing, it is very possible that by the time you read this, the landscape surrounding the potential outcomes will have significantly changed, thus potentially rendering one or more of the outcomes detailed below to be irrelevant. Here's hoping I am not too far off the mark. The purpose of this article is to discuss the potential outcomes on three specific assets of equities, government bonds and commercial property, alongside potential impacts on Sterling and in turn, consider what all this could mean for investment strategies in 2019. So let's start with the simple stuff. There are three broad outcomes to Brexit, which I like to describe as follows: A jolly good show Oh gosh! Let's have a cup of tea and carry on A jolly good show This is the scenario where everything is organised, agreed upon and signed up to by March 2019. Regardless of your view on Brexit itself, this is clearly the best potential outcome of the Brexit negotiations. Unfortunately, given how little has been agreed to date, it seems highly unlikely that there will be enough time left for this outcome to be achieved and therefore I will not explore this outcome any further here. Oh gosh! This reflects the 'No Deal' outcome. Until there is a deal in place, the possibility of no agreement being reached remains. Should this end up being the case, it would very likely result in serious economic and investment disruption, certainly over the short-term. Potential impacts include but are not limited to: Sterling depreciation: due to the perceived increased uncertainty. An uncertain impact on equities: a fall in Sterling is likely to support share prices of the FTSE 100, where a lot of earnings come from overseas and hence become more valuable. However for the more domestically focussed stocks outside of the FTSE 100, the likely outcome would be an environment of falling share prices. Uncertain impact on government bond values: a potential de-rating from credit agencies would reduce values and increase yields. However, the significant uncertainty could lead to a flight to quality/safety which could result in materially increased demand that in turn would increase values and reduce yields. Commercial property values are likely to be negatively impacted: why would companies commit to any significant property investment in this scenario? Although, should Sterling depreciate, assets would look more attractive to overseas investors which could drive up demand from outside of the UK which would counteract the lack of UK based property investment. As every day passes this outcome becomes seemingly more likely. However, history tells us that as with other similar 'cliff edge' political deadlines that have been seen in recent years (think Greek financial crisis or US fiscal tax/spending agreement), some sort of resolution tends to magically be found in the final days, or indeed hours, leading up to such an event. Ultimately a 'No Deal' scenario is not in anyone's interest and it is therefore expected that this is an unlikely outcome; however it cannot be ruled out until an agreement is reached. Let's have a cup of tea and carry on This is an outcome that lies somewhere between the two options above. The variation of outcomes within this scenario is huge and so it would be silly to try and be specific. The general gist is that the impact of the agreement is unlikely to be immediate, and there will potentially be a significant transition period required to finalise the finer details. In the short-term, the impact is likely to be limited: we will carry on living our lives as normal, will produce the same goods and services, eat the same food and buy the same products. Similarly, as a nation, the UK will continue over the short-term with the same laws, regulations, taxes, military alliances (and spending) etc. The impact of any deal will take time to manifest itself – the UK is not going to change overnight. The potential implications of such a scenario from an investment perspective could be: Sterling appreciation: due to the perceived reduced uncertainty. Equity uncertainty: opposite of the 'Oh gosh' scenario with the added complication that having some sort of known Brexit outcome may counteract some of the currency impact. Uncertain impact on government bonds: having any sort of agreed deal is unlikely to result in a change to credit agency ratings depending on the type of deal, there could again be a flight to quality/safety however equally there could be a risk on rally more generally which would have the opposite effect due to reallocations away from government bonds and into risk on assets. Limited impact on commercial property values: as this is a longer-term investment, it is likely that even in the event of a Brexit agreement, property investment could well be delayed until the outcome of any agreement is more certain. What does this mean for investing in 2019? Given it is difficult to accurately predict the outcome of Brexit (due to the number of variables and the lack of information available), a guess would be dangerous. Investing based on a predicted Brexit outcome would effectively be gambling and gambling in our opinion is not a prudent investment strategy! Indeed, the reality is that there is only one certainty about the Brexit process: uncertainty. If you are unable to take a strong view based on an investment rationale (and assuming you don't want to gamble) then the best option has to be to revert to a diversified portfolio of investments that is likely to perform broadly in line with the wider market regardless of the outcome of Brexit. i.e. be boring – there is nothing sexy or clever about this as a shortterm strategy. Investing is largely a long-term pursuit, so why not be patient and wait for the outcome of Brexit to largely be known. What is our plan? Setting an investment strategy that is immune from the impacts of any Brexit outcome is near impossible. Therefore our intention is to continue to monitor information and newsflow – having the ability to react in response to developments will be key. However when monitoring, it is important to be careful not to make knee jerk reactions that can have negative short (and potentially long) term impacts. Our expectation is that the road will continue to be rocky, winding and fraught with potential political uncertainty. This certainly feels more like the end of the beginning than the beginning of the end.

Writers! Visit Aimee's new blog!
September 24, 2009Dear Friends,
First news, I've just launched a new blog at www.aimeeliu.net
which I'm calling
writing NOW & THEN: entries from an author's life
My mission is to excavate and extract entries from old journals that still resonate and perhaps even offer wisdom or insight into the writing life today. Please visit and let me know what you think!
Next news, I just received the request below for participants in a PhD study about the impact of reading eating disorder memoirs. If you would like to participate, you'll need to CUT & PASTE this link into your browser:
From: Jodie Allen, Department of Sociology, University of Cambridge
I am a doctoral candidate at the University of Cambridge conducting research on people's experiences of reading eating disorder memoirs. Unfortunately, as is sometimes the case, recruiting participants has been difficult. As a personal fan of "Gaining" and your newsletter, I thought I would email you to ask for your help. I wondered if it would be at all possible for you to include a line or two about the study in your newsletter, or on one of your blogs. The study is approved by the University of Cambridge Ethics Committee, and involves a short (15-20) minute online survey. Participants are also invited (at the end of the survey) to participate in a interview to share their experiences in more detail. I have included the link so that you can view the study.
That's it for now.

Five hours after the first trailer for "Foxcatcher" leaked online and was summarily evaporated from all sites by Sony Pictures Classics, the studio announced that Bennett Miller's highly anticipated feature will not come out on Dec. 20. The studio will now release the film on an undisclosed date in 2014.
"Sony Pictures Classics announced today that the release of 'Foxcatcher' is being moved into 2014," the studio said in a press release. "SPC supports the decision of the filmmakers to allow for more time to finish the film."
Starring Steve Carell, Channing Tatum, Mark Ruffalo and Sienna Miller, "Foxcatcher" tells the true story of John du Pont (Carelll), the schizophrenic millionaire du Pont chemical heir who shot and killed Olympic wrestler Dave Schultz (Ruffalo) at his compound in 1996. (Tatum stars as Ruffalo's onscreen brother.) The leaked first trailer was well-received on Thursday, with many citing Carell's against-type turn as du Pont as a potential Oscar contender. In fact, "Foxcatcher" had been considered a possible awards favorite in its own right, owing to the fact that Miller's first two features, "Capote" and "Moneyball," each scored Best Picture nominations. Miller has success with actors, too: Both "Capote" star Philip Seymour Hoffman and "Moneyball" star Brad Pitt received Best Actor nods (Hoffman won).
Miller's film is the second major year-end feature to officially push to 2014 following "Grace of Monaco," but it might not be the last: speculation is running rampant that Martin Scorsese's "The Wolf of Wall Street" will bump to 2014 as well.
"Foxcatcher" was set to bow at the 2013 AFI Film Festival in November. Whether that premiere still happens is unclear at the moment. Sony Pictures Classics had set "Foxcatcher" on the calendar just six weeks ago.
