Hidden Dangers: Foods with High Fructose Corn Syrup
It's super inexpensive—more so than sugar—and that means processed food manufacturers can load up on it, sweetening their goodies at rock-bottom prices and further driving our waistlines out. The ingredient I'm talking about is high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), and it's found in some many surprising places. In fact, some of the foods containing high fructose corn syrup may be foods you eat every single day.
While this Huffington Post article on the hidden presence of HFCS says "the jury is still out" on whether it's dangerous or any more dangerous than sugar, we know differently. This cheap sweetener has been linked to obesity, learning ability and memory, and high blood pressure, to name a few health issues. As if that isn't enough, it has also been shown to contain toxic mercury. So, while some would have you believe HFCS is no more dangerous than white sugar (as if that isn't bad enough), we know differently.
Big money is made in the corn industry—big, big money—and therefore big money is spent counteracting every study and inkling that suggests any product of the industry is less than great for you (HFCS included). Of course consumers are increasingly realizing that HFCS and foods with high fructose corn syrup can be health-damaging, so manufacturers decided to change things up. As the morbid health effects of high fructose corn syrup continue to be brought to the forefront of the media, the Corn Refiners Association has decided in the past to give their cheap product a new name – corn sugar.
Staying informed on the latest research and watching your foods like a hawk can help keep you and your family safe.
Foods with High Fructose Corn Syrup
Here are some foods with high fructose corn syrup that you may have never expected to contain the ingredients – foods you may be eating every day.
- Yogurts
- Breads
- Frozen pizzas
- Cereal bars
- Cocktail peanuts
- Boxed macaroni and cheese
- Salad Dressing
- Tonic
- Applesauce
- Canned Fruit
Although their are 10 foods here, we bet you can find many more. It costs companies more to sweeten their foods with sugar, and even more with honey. So, because they are interested in nothing more than the bottom line – money, they often choose HFCS. It's in ketchups, soups, cereals, pasta sauces, and more.
This is just another reason to steer clear of highly processed foods. Americans consume a whopping 35 pounds of HFCS each year, showing just how prevalent foods with high fructose corn syrup are. Stick with the natural stuff. If it comes in a box, bag, or can, be extra suspicious, or even better—just stay away.

Tonic??/ Seems the author is hiding—try Sodas-like Coca cola or Pepsi
Ingredients: May contain Sugar or fructose corn syrup . (Notice the high is missing) Bull pucks–always Corn Chemicals :^(
I have not yet found a soft drink that doesn't have high fructose corn syrup and most corn is GMO, so I imagine that the syrup made from it has the same genetic changes that our bodies recognize as foreign and go into inflammatory mode, hence autoimmune diseases, and allergic responses. I get terrible painful sores on the back of my head with wheat and do not eat it. God help us! Our food pantry is killing us and it's our companies doing it to us. Thanks
I'm 84 years old. I am raised with sugar. During the digestion the sugar (sacharose) splits up in glucose en fructose so in my whole life, as a sugarholic I ate at least one lb plain sugar a week plus all the sugar I got in my sweeties and drinks (coca cola, seven up etc.) As a child was a bad eater but emptied whole sugarpots. I am still healthy. Not any problems. So, I realze that insuline is flooding from my pancreas in huge amounts to brake the glucose down but where the fructose goes, I dan't know. The glucose is healthy anyway as you get it as food in an intervenus.
May be somebdy can tell me where the poiseness fructose goes.
The liver.
So sad that they have gotten such a foot hold and the American people have all been put to sleep. I have been trying for 30 years to wake up America. We have to ban together and save our children!!!!
Labels don't tell you everything. How many of you spend the extra money to buy 100% Pure Maple Syrup? How about if I told you that if that bottle is labeled in VT it's allowed to contain up to 40% Corn Syrup? VT has VERY laid back labeling laws – if it's 60% maple syrup and you haven't added any other flavoring it can be labeled 100% Pure VT Maple Syrup! The reason this is legal and DOESN'T have to be specifically labeled? Because they are casually referring to the TASTE here – the 100% Pure here refers to flavor NOT content! The flavor comes from 100% Pure Maple Syrup – no fenugreek or other compound has been added to enhance the flavor. If you've ever had a physical reaction (stomach pain, heartburn, indigestion) to a "100% Pure Maple Syrup" try a Pennsylvania or Canadian bottled brand. Why? Because Canada and PA have much stricter labeling laws (their's HAS to be about content, NOT flavor), nothing is allowed to be added to their syrups & still be labeled PA or CAN. The more you know…
Hi and thanks for the info. Can you tell me what grocery stores carry the VT brand? I live in Missouri and shop at HyVee and Price Chopper as well as Natures Pantry, an organic food store.
Thank you!
Wow. That's a serious allegation. Do you have any other information readers could look at to substantiate this? Vermonters are pretty serious about their maple syrup. I looked up Vermont's Label Laws on Maple Syrups and I didn't see anything stating other ingredients like HFCS were allowed to be mixed in with Maple Syrup. Check it out. http://www.vermontagriculture.com/documents/Maple…
If you trust labels – then you are either working for the manufacturer or living in Lala land. Ask your doctor if he/she would eat the contents of the product next time you visit. Bet you they won't!
HFCS isn't as harmful to people as the GMO's associated with them. GMO's, in most corn products, are putting dangerous pesticides into our food, water, dirt and now into our skies. Since they were put into our food supply without our knowledge in 1998, diseases have been on the rise, including cancers. Spraying round up on fields of corn and soy is taking a huge toll on the American people. Most countries have banned such things. Angent Orange is coming up for approval at the FDA. Now that we have round up resistant weeds,they have to look to more and more toxic weed killers to keep farmers coming back for more. California, you have a bill in front of you that will force GMO's to be labeled. Vote yes on 37!!
Dog and cat food!
It would be a much smaller list to name products that didn't contain HFCS. It's in everything and it's much worst than sugar (which is bad enough).
Candy corn
Pancake Syrup
Just noticed these in the last week.
Not all pancake syrups contain HFCS- make sure you read the labels.
One syrup I always bought never did, then one day, BAM!!! Ingredient list changed completely 🙁

So you want to travel… but where do you start? Every amazing trip needs some kind of plan, even if it's just a rough budget, a destination and a flight booking.
In this comprehensive guide, we'll take you through everything you need to know to plan and pack for a smooth and enjoyable trip.
Depending on your personality, you're going to plan your trip in different ways;
Some people just hate planning and prefer spontaneity. They'll just book a return flight and plan their accommodation and sight-seeing day-by-day. While this approach means you can take advantage of unexpected opportunities, like going to stay in a hostel with some friends you met on the beach, it can also mean a lot of stress.
Accommodation might be booked up long in advance, leaving you to bunk down on a park bench. You also end up spending the time you could be relaxing planning your next move.
Then there are people who plan the most minute details of their trip. This has an advantage in that you can sit back and relax while you're traveling, having done all the work beforehand. But if your plans are two rigid, one missed train or cancelled flight could throw everything out of whack.
Generally, a mixture of the two is recommended. You want to have enough structure that you can relax, but not so much that you feel like a robot following a list of instructions. As a minimum, try to book at least your flights, the transport at your destination, and some of your accommodation.
Before you can plan anything, you need decide how much you can afford to spend on your trip. Once you have this figure, it will determine your destination, transport and accommodation choices.
Remember to factor in how much you want to spend on food, sightseeing, entertainment, and gifts and souvenirs. You should also leave a fund for incidental expenses and emergencies.
Also remember your ongoing expenses back home. For instance, you may need to continue paying rent while you're away or find someone to house sit. You also need to remember that you can't return completely broke: you'll need to afford food and utilities when you come back.
Keep in mind that the peak and off-peak holiday seasons can affect the price of food, accommodation and tours. Generally, peak season is during the summer.
If you like the buzz of crowds and don't mind paying extra for warmer weather, then try traveling during peak season. If you want a budget trip and don't mind braving colder weather, aim to travel off-peak.
For more on budgeting, check out these resources:
This may seem obvious, but you need to decide where you're going! You may already have a burning desire to see a particular place, but if not, consider your interests and what kind of experiences you enjoy.
If you love nature, scenery and bush walking, national parks could be for you. If you like the hustle and bustle of the city and visiting the big attractions, aim for major cities like London, Paris, New York, Rome, Singapore or Beijing. If you plan to visit several destinations, make sure they follow a logical progression, to avoid wasting time and money re-tracing your steps.
The destination will also be informed by your budget. If you can't afford overseas flights, you might consider going interstate. You may also want to consider the exchange rate – if your currency is stronger than the currency of your destination, you'll have a cheaper trip.
Once you have a destination, you can pick your mode of transport. If it's overseas, the obvious and fastest choice is a flight. However, if you like taking things slow and soaking in the experience of sea travel, you could book a cruise ship.
On land, trains can often be cheaper than flights. But do your homework, because sometimes they're the same or more expensive. Trains are also good if you are environmentally conscious – as long as they are electric, rather than diesel, they create 29 times less carbon emissions than the average domestic flight.
(Source: The Guardian)
Trains allow you to watch the passing landscape, but you'll have to account for the extra time in your itinerary. Intercity coaches are another cheap option for budget travelers, but of course you pay for this with further increased travel times and much less comfort.
Also keep in mind how you will get around your destination once you arrive. You might hire a car, or stick with public transport and taxis. If you go with the latter option, investigate what kind of tickets you'll need and where you can buy them.
Useful websites for comparing flights:
Accommodation can make or break a trip. The last thing you want is to find a hair in your bed, or mold in the bathroom! The difficulty is that you can't find out for sure what you've paid for until you arrive. To avoid nasty surprises, do your homework – scope out reviews on sites like TripAdvisor and ask friends for recommendations.
The type of accommodation you choose is also informed by your budget and preferences. If you want a laid-back holiday and you have the money, resorts and luxury hotels are perfect. For those who like some independence and want to get a taste of living local, renting an apartment through sites like AirBnb could be ideal.
If you're a backpacker on a budget, a hostel is always fantastic to meet like-minded travelers. Although watch out – some hostels in prime locations in the major cities can be quite expensive. Also be wary if they're charging rock-bottom prices. There may be some major hygiene or maintenance issues, or it could be located in the middle of nowhere.
With a destination in mind, you can make a rough list of sight-seeing priorities. You should do this in conjunction with choosing accommodation, so that you can try to stay near your chosen attractions. Many attractions charge fees, which you should account for in your budget.
Don't make your plans too rigidly, as they may change a you hear about opportunities from locals or other travelers you meet.
Travel insurance is not compulsory, but it's highly recommended. Depending on the policy you buy, it can cover you for cancelled flights, lost or stolen luggage, medical and dental fees, and expenses accrued from rescheduling tours or other bookings.
Remember that depending on where you're going, the country's medical system may not be fantastic. You could find yourself paying tens of thousands if you need to be medically evacuated. Even if the hospitals are reasonable, if you're not eligible for medical insurance in that country, you could still pay hefty sums in the case of a health incident.

Now you're ready to start packing! If you're going on a long trip, it's advisable to start making your list a couple of days early to avoid rushing and forgetting something vital. Though you'll tailor the list to your own needs, here are some of the most important things to remember.
our luggage is dependent on your destination. If you're heading for a major city, a suitcase with wheels will suit you just fine. There is a huge variety to choose from –hard or soft shell, large or small, expensive or cheap.
Consider carefully whether you want a hard or soft case. The advantage of soft shells is that they are often very light and you can squeeze more in because of their flexibility.
They also tend to have more pockets and are more accessible. The downside is that their contents can get soaked in heavy rain.
Hard shell cases protect their contents better, and these days, most have four castors that rotate in all directions, which takes the weight off your arm. However, they are not as flexible or as easily accessible.
If you're heading off the beaten track, such as to nature parks or to a city with unpaved roads, you'll want to opt for a backpack. Once again there is a huge range, but the main thing is that it feels comfortable when the store assistant correctly adjusts it on your back. You may want to consider your fitness level before buying a backpack, as you will be spending a lot of time carrying it.
Whatever you purchase, you want to ensure it's of reasonable quality to avoid breakages of the shell or the zips, so check the product reviews before you buy.
Finally, be aware that US Transport Security Administration have the right to access your luggage even if you are not present. If you decide to lock your luggage, make sure it's with a TSA-approved lock. This will allow officials to open it with a master key, rather than slicing through your zips.
Although you want to have completed your checklist a few days before you leave, to make sure you have everything, you want to start packing the same day or one day before you leave. This will avoid you having to unpack and re-pack to access your essentials.
Once you start, you need to be as efficient as possible with space. Try filling your shoes with socks and rolling up your clothes, rather than folding them (this is also meant to reduce wrinkles).
Packing 'cubes' or 'cells' are also useful if you hate your luggage getting jumbled, as it inevitably does. On the other hand, if you are on a tight budget, simple plastic bags will do the job.

Venting: Huh?
Me? You? Huh? : I'm confused…
It's not confused, actually. It's more of shock. All I can say right now is.. Gasp!
You really do remember. Those first words that meant a huge change. Was if for better, or for worse? I don't know.
But I do know, that took you long enough. You really had to keep me waiting, didn't you? You let me sit here, and while my rage was building up to the point explosion, you spun me around.. and now I'm lost.
I'm lost in time, somewhere back a few years.
I had butterflies in my stomach. The only thing going through my head was him. His gorgeous russet colored hair framing his oh-so-handsome face. Oh! There he stood, agianst the wall. I could see him staring right at me, and I blushed in a delighted embarrasment.
I suddenly had a dilemma on my hands. Should I go talk to him? Or do I let him come to me? Well, I wasn't ever one to act without thinking twice, but this was an exception. I marched right over to him and flashed a confident smile.

BOSTON — Nursing is recognized as one of the nation's most demanding professions, complete with long work shifts, ongoing regulatory changes and the need for a constant focus while making critical decisions regarding the health of patients. Given such a challenging work environment, personal matters are often sacrificed or take a back seat. Finances are a perfect example: according to Fidelity Investments® Money FIT Nurses Study, more than half of nurses surveyed (56 percent) say they lack confidence in making financial decisions—and four in 10 (41 percent) attribute this to the fact they don't have enough time to focus on them.
While an overwhelming majority of nurses–92 percent–say they want to learn more about financial planning, this struggle for time continues to be a challenge that has implications on retirement readiness. With this in mind, Fidelity Investments, the leading provider of workplace retirement plans for not-for-profit health care institutions1, is launching an awareness campaign during National Nurses Week (May 6-12) to encourage nurses to take the time to focus on their own financial wellness.
The good news: despite their lack of financial confidence, the study suggests many nurses are taking positive steps with their money. For instance, 84 percent of nurses are proactively saving for the future; furthermore, an analysis of Fidelity business data2 examining the retirement savings behaviors of more than 38,000 nurses supports this finding, showing nurses are diligent savers with a total savings rate (employer plus employee contribution to a workplace savings plan) of 12 percent—close to matching Fidelity's suggested rate of 15 percent.
In addition, according to the study, more than two-thirds (67 percent) of nurses are making smart choices with how they invest their money and have an age-based asset allocation. While these behaviors provide a strong financial foundation, there's still opportunity for nurses to bolster their retirement savings even further, according to Fidelity.
Nurses Motivated to Learn about Financial Planning, but Often Overlook Workplace Resources
For many, the workplace is an easy entry point to learn more about financial planning, as most retirement savings plan providers offer free retirement guidance. Surprisingly, this accessible resource is not commonly used–62 percent of nurses who have access to retirement guidance at work don't take advantage. Again, the biggest obstacle is time, with one-third (33 percent) citing a lack of it as a barrier.
"Health care employees work in a unique environment, with long work shifts and heavy demands on their schedules," said Alexandra Taussig, senior vice president, Fidelity Investments. "Nurses Week honors our nurses for their compassion and expertise, and is also a time to remind these dedicated caretakers to get a 'retirement plan checkup' and focus on their financial future. Whether attending a workshop or speaking to a professional, taking a pulse-check on retirement savings at least once a year can help nurses feel more in control of their financial health."
While retirement guidance in the workplace may be underutilized, the study also finds that 85 percent of those who don't take advantage of it would be motivated to do so if they were given options that enhanced accessibility. For example, four in 10 (41 percent) of these nurses would be motivated to participate if their employer provided a class during work hours or had experts available to walk them through retirement plan options–either in person or on the phone.
Adjusting workplace guidance to match employee needs can be a powerful way to help nurses better understand their financial plan, and more importantly, encourage them to get engaged. Fidelity data3 finds that 35 percent of nurses take action4 after receiving guidance. Of those nurses, 69 percent of nurses increased their retirement savings contribution within 90 days of completing a guidance interaction by phone, in person or online.
How to Financially Empower Nurses
Given the lack of awareness around the availability of workplace retirement guidance, health care institutions can use Nurses Week as an occasion to call attention to this free benefit, which is available to employees as part of their overall retirement savings program. Other suggestions for employers include:
- Implement automatic annual increase programs and set the default deferral rate to at least six percent in automatic enrollment programs to encourage increased savings rates.
- Read Fidelity's "Financial Checkup on Nurses Retirement Readiness," which provides a snapshot of nurses' retirement readiness and offers suggestions on how they – and their employers – can take action to address their financial future.
- Read Fidelity's "Empowering Women to Take Control of Their Retirement," the first of a series of reports on the key differences and unique strengths of female employees.
- Offer targeted financial workshops that address specific needs of the nursing population. For instance, Fidelity's THRIVE series, educates women about the importance of getting actively involved in their finances and investing.
There also are resources available to nurses that can help address their financial health. To schedule a free retirement planning consultation, nurses can call 1-866-715-6111, or visit www.fidelity.com/nurses to access retirement planning tools, a Caring for Nurses' Finances webinar, and other financial education materials.
Fidelity's Services for the Tax-Exempt Market
Fidelity serves the most plan participants in the not-for-profit workplace retirement savings market, which includes health care, higher education, research, foundations, faith-based, K-12 and other tax-exempt organizations5.

With retirement planning professionals and an array of tools and resources to educate plan sponsors, Fidelity helps employers in the tax-exempt market maximize retirement benefits plans and increase employee retirement readiness.
About the Fidelity Investments Money FIT Nurses Study
The online survey was conducted by Kelton between October 6th and October 30th, 2014 among 356 nurses (Registered Nurse, Advanced Registered Nurse, Licensed Practical Nurse, Nursing Management, Certified Registered Nurse, Certified Nurse Anesthetist) ages 18+ who are employed or retired and have a qualifying retirement plan (401(k), 401(a), 403(b), 457, 457 (b), or 457(f)). Fidelity and Kelton are not affiliated.

Warning: Late repayment can cause you serious money problems. For help, go to moneyadviceservice.org.uk Compare our loans at AllTheLenders.org.uk
The Grand National is almost here, and it promises to be the number one day in 2018 for having a flutter, as it is every year. But of course, where do you put your money? Whether you're normally more into football, or you're not really a gambler at all, you might be having some difficulty in picking your horse or horses for the big day.
Thankfully, there are plenty of alternative ways of picking a winner if you're not prepared to pore over form guides and going with someone else's tip just doesn't feel right. Let's take a look at some of them.
Outlandish names are probably the most popular way of picking a horse, especially given that they've become more and more obscure over the years. Seeyouatmidnight, for instance, sounds more like a mid-noughties indie band than it does a racehorse, but you can be sure than many thousands of people will be picking it purely because of that.
Take a look through the list of horses, and find the one that jumps out at you, or has some kind of meaning for you. If you're betting with mates, then pick terrible names for one another.
Racing colours are the next differentiator. They're the colours that the jockeys wear on their shirts (known as their 'silks'), and they can range from the mundane to the gaudy. Statistically green and yellow combined has done well in the past, but that's probably nothing to go by. Take a look at the list and search for your favourite colour combination, or perhaps the one that looks the most eye catching.
The horse itself also presents yet another random quality for you to use - its colour! There are a huge range of colours - brown is not simply brown in equine terminology, so you can pick either by the colour itself, or the name of the colour. There are many to choose from, including ones that don't sound too attractive, like liver and fleabitten grey.
And finally, of course, you can pick totally at random. You could pick out of a hat, or vigorously scroll up and down on the list of horses online and see where your cursor lands, if you can't be bothered printing. There are lots of options - just be as creative as possible.
Whichever method of picking you choose, we wish you the best of luck on the day!
Thank you for your interest in Dot Dot Loans. We are currently updating our product range, which will launch in the next few days.
In the meantime, please give us a call on 0333 0062000 or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

LETTER: Angie Craig: 'tell us your position'
To the Editor:
Some sponges don't hold water. When they are lifted out of the bucket, the water drains out. Angie Craig is this kind of sponge. When immersed in the DFL platform bucket, Angie Craig appears to have content, but when she is outside the bucket, and actually required to have an opinion, nothing is evident. She has no actual positions. Oh, sure, buzz phrases are spouted on her literature and website, but is there substance? Nope. None. You can't tell if she has a position — on anything! Example: On a critical infrastructure upgrade supporting Minnesota energy needs, the Enbridge Line 3 Replacement Program, which would bring billions of dollars into Minnesota, and more efficiently transport needed product to our local energy industry, she has no opinion. For someone who wants to work for Minnesotans, we don't know what she will do! That's scary! Voting for someone without knowing his or her positions is foolish. Angie wants to be elected before we know what we are going to get in terms of her leadership. This says emphatically, "I know what's best for you, don't worry, just put me in office." Preposterous! Only foolish voters will cave to that line of reasoning.
Angie, tell us your position on the Elbridge Line 3 Replacement Project. We will give you the silent treatment at the polls without it.
Jim McKie, West St. Paul

Foundation Apprenticeships
What are Foundation Apprenticeships?
Foundation Apprenticeships are a Skills Development Scotland (SDS) initiative, providing new, work-based learning opportunities for learners in their senior phase of secondary education. It enables them to complete elements of a Modern Apprenticeship while still at school.
Learners work towards a Foundation Apprenticeship alongside their other subjects — their National 5 and Highers. They'll also spend part of the school week with a learning provider and with a local employer. They will work towards industry-recognised qualifications while developing skills and experience in the workplace.
If you are interested in offering or completing a Foundation Apprenticeship, please visit the SDS Apprenticeship website.
In addition, please download the Foundation Apprenticeship FAQ document for information on:
- Becoming involved in delivering a Foundation Apprenticeship
- SQA requirements, including becoming approved as an SQA Centre
- Becoming approved for Foundation Apprenticeship components
- Delivering a Foundation Apprenticeship in partnership with other organisations
- SQA requirements for Quality Assurance and Verification
- Recognising Prior Learning
- Foundation Apprenticeship Certificates
What Foundation Apprenticeships are available?
There are Foundation Apprenticeships in:
- Accountancy (GN7T 46)
- Business Skills (GL8J 46)
- Civil Engineering (GL51 46)
- Creative and Digital Media (GM69 46)
- Engineering (GL7C 46)
- Financial Services (GL53 46)
- Food and Drink Technologies (GN26 46)

- Information Technology: Software Development (GL54 46)

- Social Services and Healthcare (GL52 46)
- Social Services: Children and Young People (GL7A 46)
For further information on each of the Foundation Apprenticeships, please refer to the SDS Foundation Apprenticeship Framework publications.
What qualifications or units will a learner work towards to achieve a Foundation Apprenticeship?
Each Foundation Apprenticeship framework contains the following components:
- A National Certificate (NC) or National Progression Award (NPA) – an industry recognised qualification which is taught within a classroom environment;
- Selected Scottish Vocational Qualification (SVQ) units – developed through National Occupational Standards, the units are completed within a work place environment.
Professional qualifications are also contained within the Accountancy and Food and Drink Technologies frameworks, which enable learners to gain industry specific skills within their apprenticeship.

When people think about Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, they envision the Wrangler. The Wrangler's iconic appearance is one that people relate to the rugged outdoors - terrain that this vehicle was designed to dominate. Bold, sturdy, and ready for adventure, this is the vehicle that we here at Eide Chrysler recommend to any Bismarck drivers looking to do some off-road exploration.
There is no part of the 2018 Wrangler that was not created to be able to withstand harsh terrain. The Sway Bar Disconnect system gives you the ability to disconnect the front sway bar when you are driving in (4LO mode) at speeds lower than 18 miles per hour (mph). This lets the front wheels drop up to an additional 29 percent. The Dana 44 Heavy-Duty Axle helps to make your ride both quieter and smoother, and also gives you some extra ground clearance. If you go with the Rubicon model, you will get Tru-Lok Locking Differentials (to improve traction), Mud Terrain T/A tires, and electronic sway bar disconnect. All Wrangler models are built to give you a substantial amount of ground clearance at 10 inches, as well as an approach angle of 42.2 degrees, a breakover angle of 25.8 degrees, and a departure angle of 32.3 degrees.
Under the hood, the 2018 Wrangler has all it needs to make it the ruler of off-road. The standard engine is a 3.6 liter (L) Pentastar V6 capable of spitting out 285 horsepower (hp) and 260 pound-feet (lb-ft) of torque, paired with either a five-speed automatic or six-speed manual transmission. There are two different 4x4 systems offered on the newest Wrangler: The Command-Trac and the Rock-Trac. Command-Trac ensures that equal amounts of power arrive at all four corners of the vehicle, while the Rock-Trac gives you a 4:1 low-gear ratio, improving your ability to crawl over rocks at a lower speed with more torque in the wheels. Should you plan on towing with your Wrangler, you will be happy to know that it has the ability to tow up to 3,500 pounds (lbs).
Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram has made sure to augment the Wrangler's exceptional 4x4 capabilities with safety measures to ensure that no matter where you are roaming, you will be protected. The B-pillar is bolstered by high-strength steel in order to improve the vehicle's stiffness and reduce the force of side-impact. The mid-mounted fuel tank is protected by wide-spaced frame rails between the wheels. In the event of any understeering or oversteering, Electronic Stability Control, in tandem with Electronic Roll Mitigation, works to correct that and also minimize the chances of a rollover. If you are planning on using your Wrangler to do any towing, the Trailer Sway Control feature will help to keep your trailer on the correct course while you are driving.
With a vehicle this determined to dominate any Bismarck ND terrain, it needs an exterior that looks both tough and powerful. To that end, you can customize the Wrangler's appearance so that it suits you best. You have a choice of three tops - soft, hard, or topless. The hardtop can either be the same color as the body, or you can choose to go with a contrasting black hardtop. You also get your pick of door configurations - you can have no doors, half doors, or full doors, based on your preference.
Created to go where no other vehicle can go, the Wrangler is the perfect 4x4 for anyone who is an explorer at heart. It is outfitted with all you will need to blaze a trail away from the highway, giving you the perfect excuse to escape the city on the weekends. The 2018 Wrangler is truly in a class of its own, and that is why we at Eide Chrysler are so eager to show it off.

Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. My office is quiet. Time is passing. Various deadlines loom large: a concert in two days. Porchfest. This. That. But in the middle of all that, my clock. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. It's the only sound in my office until...
...a car. Down Commerce Street. I wonder where he's going. Or she. Another car. And another. A rustle of papers from across the hall; Mitch is cleaning his office. It occurs to me that all the people I know are doing something at this very second. Where are they? What are they thinking of? Is it hot? Cold? Have they noticed the temperature? Maybe it's comfortable. I don't know.
What I know is my world. Right here. I know I'm neither hot nor cold. I know what I'm smelling and seeing. I know where I have to go, and I know where I have been. This morning I was at my house. I had a little talk with myself in the mirror. Nothing important. I might have made a few faces at myself. But I don't know where you were. I don't know what you were doing. All I know is that for both of us, the clock. Was. Ticking.
For a lot of people that's ominous. Every second past is a second closer to our end. And I guess that's true to one extent or another. The logical conclusion is that we should choose very carefully how we use our seconds, because each one is a non-refundable investment. You've probably read that article before. If you bought into it, you may already be regretting that you've decided to read this one. Good news. This isn't that article again (though honestly I can't promise you it's any better use of your time).
What realities unite all of humanity? Birth. Death. Taxes. Time. Those are the easy ones. Are there others?
Faith. Belief in something. Maybe God. Maybe NOT God. Even people who claim belief in nothing nevertheless believe in something, if only believing in their own self-sufficiency. Love. Love of others? Love of self? Love of something? Love of an ideal, even if it is absent? There are more, of course. Animal desires, even if some are better at squelching them than others. And needs. Universal needs. Ever-present even if buried so deep and burning so dimly that they are imperceptible even to ourselves.
We have much in common. As much as we have in difference or even more. Science tells us that our DNA is 99.9% similar from person to person. But despite those similarities. Despite our commonality, we are most inclined to focus instead on those things that divide us. That makes sense, really. We want to be unique. We want to separate ourselves. Ironically we are unified by our need to be unique.
But in a garden full of fruit we can't resist the apple. We go beyond exploring our diversity when we allow it to divide us, or when we use it to divide ourselves. The foot says, "I am not an eye." We create a symbolic world in which order matters. And then we place ourselves in order, blind ourselves to those below us, and set about moving up at any cost.
Enter Christ, who taught us the importance of embracing unity in our diversity. Not that we are all identical, no. Rather it is precisely our fundamental unity that allows us to embrace our diversity. It is our reliance on others that allows us to become who we are. Our unifying trust in each other allows us to explore our diversity. We are one body in the one Lord.

The City of Canning's New ERP System is Now Live.
The City of Canning has shfted to a new enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform known as 'OneCouncil' to increase efficiency, streamline business process and improve collaboration with our suppliers. The new ERP was implemented as planned on April 30th 2018.
As a result of this implementation, a number of the City's business rules with its suppliers and contractors have changed.
The Business Rule Changes are summarised below:
Changes to Purchase Orders
All goods and services will be ordered under a new purchase order format
Where the supplier has received an order in the previous system which is not yet complete, this will be re-raised within the new system for the outstanding items
Invoices for remaining quantities are to reference the new purchase order number
The City's purchase order numbers will be reset, and begin as PU000001/0
The number after the '/' denotes the backorder number, which will increase as backorders are issued for unreceived stock – this is not a new purchase order
Purchase orders confirmations, amendments, back orders and cancellations will be sent to a supplier's nominated email address automatically, in a PDF format
The delivery date nominated on the purchase order will be the latest date the shipment is to arrive at the designated delivery location
Should this delivery date be unachievable, the supplier must advise the City within two (2) business days of purchase order confirmation with the revised date
Continuously late deliveries may affect the suppliers standing with the City
Suppliers are to review each purchase order to ensure it reflects the manner in which the quotation was provided and is appropriately itemised as such
Where a purchase order does not reflect the quote provided, the supplier should reject the order and ask the City officer to amend accordingly
Changes to Receivables
Suppliers must not deliver any goods or provide a service without a City system generated purchase order number. Continuously providing goods or services to City officers without an official purchase order may affect the suppliers standing with the City.
All goods delivery shipments must include a packing list which references the purchase order number, and the line number from that order of the goods being delivered
Suppliers must not ship quantities in excess of the quantity on the purchase order, if additional quantities are required, the purchase order will be amended by the City to reflect the new quantity and reissued prior to delivery
Changes to Invoices and Payments
ALL invoices must:
be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com and not directly to the requesting officer
Reference the City's system generated purchase order number and purchase order line number
Not be consolidated across purchase orders
Where the invoice is requested to be sent to a City Officer, they are to be included as a cc recipient only.
Any invoice which does not reference a City system generated purchase order number will not be processed for payment, and instead returned for correction, including a revised invoice date.
The City's terms are 30 days from receipt of a correctly rendered invoice, unless otherwise agreed in a signed contract.
Early payments may be made at the absolute discretion of the City, and will be wholly reliant on a early payment discount being offered.

The Iraqi archaeological site of Nimrud is being destroyed by Islamic State militants who are using bulldozers and explosives, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) reported Tuesday.
The agency mandated with protecting heritage sites said the actions taken by the extremist organization on the historic site located 30 kilometers south of the crisis-hit city of Mosul, are deliberate damage of culture and thus a "war crime." The organization has pledged to do everything possible to fight it.
"I condemn this mad, destructive act that accentuates the horror of the situation. It confirms that the terrorists are not only destroying representations of figures and bas-reliefs," said the Director-General of the UNESCO Irina Bokova, in a statement to the press.
Bokova's statements followed the release of a video showing alleged Islamic State's militants vandalizing the ancient reliefs at the site, which houses archaeological artifacts dating back to the 13th century BC.
In early 2015, the extremists announced their intention to destroy many of the ancient artifacts. The militants have also destroyed mosques, as well as thousands of books and manuscripts in Mosul.
The Islamic State group have been committing horrendous crimes across the region, including the mass execution of civilians as well as Syrian and Iraqi army troops and police officers.

What do you think about vintage clothing? Do you wear vintage clothing? And what do you love about it? I started to buy vintage clothing and bags since 2 years ago. I'm a big fan of vintage because it's a great way to incorporate unique pieces into your wardrobe that you can't find just anywhere. If your a vintage lover you might love the fact many brands and designers are going back to their roots. The relaunch of classic, original, sophisticated pieces. Benetton is a great example of this. They launched an exclusive revival of United Colors of Benetton knitwear from the seventies and eighties named lana vintage. Veritable classics of Italian taste, reproduced in the original colors, with luxury yarns and sophisticated knitting techniques. Innovative design but still contemporary. I created 3 different looks with 3 knits from this knew collection. All in combination with classic, heritage items. An unique but interesting mix, right?

FDA Approves Liquid Cannabinoid Product
The FDA has approved an orally administered liquid formulation of the cannabinoid drug dronabinol (Syndros, Insys Therapeutics), a pharmaceutical version of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Liquid dronabinol is indicated for use in treating anorexia associated with weight loss in patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), and in treating nausea and vomiting associated with cancer chemotherapy in patients who have failed to respond adequately to conventional antiemetic treatments. The product is currently awaiting scheduling by the Drug Enforcement Administration.
Dronabinol may cause psychiatric and cognitive effects and may impair mental and/or physical abilities. Patients with cardiac disorders may experience hypotension, hypertension, syncope, or tachycardia. Products containing disulfiram or metronidazole should be discontinued at least 14 days before treatment with liquid dronabinol and should not be administered within seven days after treatment.
Clinicians should weigh the potential risks versus benefits before prescribing liquid dronabinol to patients with a history of seizures, including those requiring antiepileptic medications or with other factors that lower the seizure threshold. In addition, clinicians should assess the risk for abuse or misuse in patients with a history of substance abuse or dependence before prescribing liquid dronabinol and should monitor patients for the development of associated behaviors or conditions. Clinicians should also consider dose reductions or discontinuation if symptoms of paradoxical nausea, vomiting, or abdominal pain worsen during treatment.

Note: This article is a continuation of my previous post, Destiny Raid Diary I: Let's Do This.
The team was handsomely rewarded for vanquishing the Templar. Some much-needed Ascendant Shards would further level up my Armamentarium chest piece, though I was holding out for something slightly more special.
As a small nook poked out from the Templar boss area, we figured it must be the next passage to take; the central cube revealed a small opening in its side. Everyone was a in a crouch position for a long time with so little room to move, like a bunch of ants trying to navigate the inside of their hill.
It was dark – really dark. The team was in single file and the only thing I knew was that we were going down – into what, I didn't know.
Stage Three: Evading Gorgons, Loot, and Vanishing Stairs:
Right when I was thinking: "when is this crouching going to end?", the ground gave way and I landed on a ledge. It wasn't a huge drop but it was enough to get startled.
There was another ledge a bit lower, and one after that, and another after that. In fact, there were about a dozen ledges leading to the bottom. The drop was straight down, but everyone ignored the safety of the platforms and used their double-jumps just before landing on the surface.
There was no going back as the climb back up was too great. A shallow stream in a huge cavern, with three alternate routes, was the only way to progress.
Our team leader knew of a chest, up high, which would guarantee the group good loot. Again, first-person platforming was required – but made all the more easy thanks to the Titan's 'increased height' perk for jumping.
The chest sat below golden light and yielded Ascendant Energy for me. Though I failed to get a weapon, I upgraded the damage output of my Prestige IV void machine gun. A few members bragged about their spoils as we made our way back to ground level.
But we weren't done. Upon finding another chest, taking the right-hand path, I got more Ascendant Energy – apparently common, as all but one member obtained the same loot.
"The next part is easy if we stick together," said the leader. We had to navigate the Gorgons' Labyrinth. If the Gorgons, a souped-up version of Harpies, spotted anyone, the whole team died; the pressure was on.
Again, the fireteam were single file in a crouched position. Sneaking our way to the left, then up the middle, then to the right. Keeping quiet was a high priority, so slides and double-jumps were a big no-no. The Gorgons' numbers weren't overwhelming but they kept a tight watch on all pathways, advancing forwards and then back again.
Nobody got separated and we all arrived at the next trial. Arriving at a cliff face there was a gap to the next pathway of gigantic proportions. I spotted the vanishing platforms, proving a pain to jumping to at the right moment.
I was the last to make it across and it was slightly amusing watching everybody sitting down and dancing inside a Ward of Dawn. Timing the initial jump right before the middle platform appeared was difficult, followed by a quick landing to regain some boost power.
Boosting around the ledge was no trouble, despite the nearby wall (which can push you off) and bottomless drop. With all members accounted for, the final test was upon us.
Stage Four: The Gatekeeper, Separate Squads, and Defeating Atheon:
Entering the Vault of Glass for the first time was a great feeling, I have to say. But there was a welcoming party waiting for us and shit just got real.
The fireteam cleared the room of all enemies with no problems. However, that was just a taste of what was to come, as a robot named The Gatekeeper had appeared in the centre of the Vault and spawned a shitload of Vex – from caves on the left, right, and out of portals on either side.
The sync plates from the opening phase reared their ugly head again, as it was time to control a point and destroy all oncoming Vex. Goblins were no match for my Suros Regime and when the plate was secured our team suddenly halved.
I had no idea what just happened and started to get a little flustered. Our team leader, a Hunter and a Warlock had gone into a portal in order to grab a relic to damage The Gatekeeper. That proved almost instantaneous, as he was defeated within a couple of minutes. Another checkpoint earned, another tough challenge to come.
My headset was a constant buzz of chatter and from here specific squads were set up. "Team Portal" would accompany the relic holder inside a second portal to retrieve a second relic, I was told. All the while, 'Team Conflux" would defend a point from Vex – mostly Minotaurs – and prevent any sacrifices to the conflux.
Whilst I was pleased not to have the responsibility of relic holder, my enthusiasm took a hit when I was chosen to defend the point. Myself, another Titan and a Warlock were shouting enemy locations constantly. They never let up and converged from every angle. So stressful.
Team Conflux was close to death when Team Portal arrived. Their entrance was even more epic when two Warlocks instantly used Nova Bombs to clear the battlefield. Those members still active were cleansed by the relic pronto and the fight continued.
Silencing the Vex's leftovers from the conflux battle gave more loot in the form of Ascendant Shards. I felt very unlucky as a few screams of legendary weapons and armour filled my ears. Bright side, though: another checkpoint acquired.
The final struggle in the Vault of Glass was Atheon. This fucker proved extremely tough to beat. Not because of excessive health points, or overpowered attacks, but because of the sheer amount of co-ordination and communication required within the team.
I was given a quick run-down of what would follow: Mars equals left plate, Venus equals right plate and destroy any Oracles if you get teleported.
Atheon soon teleported three Guardians and the deafening sound of Venus had me running. I was ready but, in the heat of the moment, I realised I'd run to the wrong side! My teammates stood atop a pillar away from the kamikaze Harpies, called Supplicants, but it was okay; for this wave, I gave support from afar.
Team Portal came through just in time, three heading for a nearby platform and three others supporting from the back columns. A Time's Vengeance buff, as well as my Weapons of Light shield, gave Team Platform huge amounts of damage. Team Column also voiced their satisfaction, reeling off sniper hits in excess of 8,000 to both Atheon and Supplicants coming from the flanks. Two-second cool downs gave the team free rein of their abilities and there were grenades constantly being flung at Atheon.
But his shield sprang back up and three random Guardians were sent to another location. I was one of them, shouted out "Venus!" and instantly began chucking grenades at oncoming Vex – a Minotaur, in particular – as well as looking for Oracles throughout the map.
One cleansing teammates, one on enemies, another on Oracles; the teams were in sync now. All Oracles had been dispatched and moving through the portal proved a disorientating experience. I just stood still and waited to be cleansed again.
After picking off Vex stragglers both teams returned to previous positions ready for Time's Vengeance to kick in. After numerous attempts took us a while to have a second crack at Atheon – the adrenaline was real and it was heart-pumping stuff.
Our buffs ran out and we figured one more round would wrap it up. I was teleported again and, like before, shouted "Mars!" and sought to damaging the Minotaur and keeping an eye on Oracles. My ammo was low, with an empty auto rifle and machine gun, but got the last Oracle with two fusion rifle bursts left.
Morale was at a high when Team Portal appeared. Team Vault's sync plate was about to be overrun and required immediate support. Ammo synthesis on my Suros was followed by a quick cleanse from the relic holder, as the Vex were cleared out and we made our final push.
When Atheon went down from the barrage of explosions I was ecstatic – as was everyone else – and a dance party immediately followed. I had just completed Destiny's end game and was justly rewarded for it: A void auto rifle, a new class item and an outfit shader.
The Vault of Glass isn't the most challenging co-op experience I've had. But I can definitely say it's enjoyable, hectic and highly satisfying in that final area.
As Parts I and II were done in separate sessions, with Part II completed post-Atheon patch, there are some gamers out there I'd like to thank for guiding me through Destiny's first Raid:

There are times in my life when I look at people who are making choices that are radically opposite what I would make and think, "How in the world could you come up with that?!? Why would you even think that would be good (or even acceptable) to anyone?"
Then, I have to take a step back and realize that I do not have all the answers in life, nor am I the final arbiter of what is right and wrong.
Yet there are some issues in this world that I know beyond the shadow of a doubt are right and wrong. For Christians, the Bible gives us guidelines on what God deems right and wrong, appropriate and inappropriate. There can be differences of opinion on how to read what is right and wrong, but it is there. No one can argue that God does not specify that some actions are simply wrong, and others are fundamentally right.
Where Christians get in trouble, though, is when they expect people outside of the Church, people who are not Christians, to readily understand the truths contained within the Bible, Christians' holy scriptures. In fact, Paul has something to say about this in the passage today:
It isn't a wisdom that comes from the present day or from today's leaders who are being reduced to nothing. We talk about God's wisdom, which has been hidden as a secret. God determined this wisdom in advance, before time began, for our glory. It is a wisdom that none of the present-day rulers have understood, because if they did understand it, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory!
The idea here is that without the Holy Spirit in our lives, we will never understand who God is, what God desires, or the kind of life God calls us to live. More simply, without the Holy Spirit, no one can really understand the Bible–let alone try to put its precepts into practice in their lives.
Paul's immediate context is the Jewish leaders who handed Christ over to Pilate. Had they actually understood the Scriptures, they would not have done so. The implication is clear. We cannot assume that just because people can read, or are even highly educated, that they will understand (what to Christians are) the self-evident truths of the Bible.
It is the Holy Spirit that gives people the possibility of understanding and accepting the Bible and all that is within it. People can receive this insight and ability from God by reaching out with whatever amount of faith they may have in a sincere desire to understand from God's point of view. God will take whatever we can offer. If it is the size of a mustard seed, then God will use that amount of faith and grow it.
But for those who have no desire to know God, or no desire to understand the Bible as God's special revelation to humanity, they will never understand the Bible. Sure, they may be able to read it. They may even be able to read it in its original languages and analyze its history, transmission, organization, and any other aspect of the Bible, but they will never truly understand and comprehend its meaning.
Without God in our lives, it is impossible to understand God's revelation. The Good News is that God offers himself to all of us. The catch is that we have to be willing to accept that offer.

– Aim is to continue the form of last year and keep the title safe at home: Coach Cedric D'Souza
New Delhi, 19 December 2014: The second edition of the Hero Hockey India League saw some of the most captivating moments coming in from the Delhi Waveriders, coached under Cedric D'Souza and went on to becoming the champions of the HHIL 2014. There were moments of awe and despair for the team as it strived to obtain the top slot in the Pool table. Missing the position by 1 point to Jaypee Punjab Warriors, the Delhi Waveriders took it on themselves to get their name carved on the trophy of HHIL 2014 and which they did against JPW on the final day. The Finals saw Delhi Waveriders riding on goalkeeper Nicolas Jacobi's brilliant show under the bar to eke out a hard-fought 3-1 win over Jaypee Punjab Warriors in the shoot-out after the two teams ended the regulation time locked at 3-3.
His teachings that involved the tips and tricks to steal away the match from the opponents was implied successfully on the field and yielded favourable results for the team. Adding more flavours to the team's performance this year as well, Head Coach Cedric D'Souza will be seen guiding the Delhi Waveriders' clan to put up yet another breath-taking show during the third edition of the Hero Hockey India League.
Boosting his defence line-up with Andrew Hayward from New Zealand, getting picked up in the Auctions held last month, Cedric will be looking at the strong line up with names like Rupinder Pal Singh, Tristan White, Steven Edwards, Andres Mir Bel, Surender Kumar giving a tough time to the opponents on the field.
Speaking on the third edition of Hero hockey India League, Delhi Waveriders' Head Coach Cedric D'Souza said, "Yes, I am excited and waiting for the 3rd edition of Hero Hockey India League. It was a pleasure seeing the team winning the trophy last year and this time around everyone is aware that it will not be an easy task keeping in mind that the game of hockey has evolved a lot in the last one year. The players have grown in terms of physical strengths as well as strategising quickly on the field. We will also follow the recently culminated Champions Trophy which will give us a fair idea on the kind of play that the players are following on the field. The aim of course if to retain the title, while it will be difficult but I see no reason why we can't achieve it yet again.
The third edition of the Hero Hockey India League is all set to roll out from the 22nd January 2014 and will witness Delhi Waveriders defending the title against the five franchisees, all gearing up to steal the show this year. The opening day of the League will witness Kalinga Lancers taking on Ranchi Rays in Bhubaneswar.
