- 背景
In the human body the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is lined with mucosal tissues or mucosa. As shown in Figure 7.0.1, mucosa is primarily comprised of epithelial cells that are attached to the basement membrane. Protruding from the wall of the intestine are tiny, finger-like projections called villi that increase the absorptive area and the surface area of the intestinal wall. Digested nutrients (including sugars and amino acids) pass into the villi through diffusion. Circulating blood then carries these nutrients away. Unlike the mucosal tissue of the inner surface of the eyelids or the mouth, the epithelial cells which line the inside of the stomach are exposed to much harsher conditions, e.g., acid (i.e., hydrochloric acid), sometimes alcohol, enzymes (e.g., pepsin) for digesting food and waste generated therefrom. Mucous secretion essentially protects the cells on the inside of the stomach and duodenum from damage by acid or enzymes, for example by presenting bicarbonate to neutralize some of the effects of acid on the stomach's inner lining, as well as inhibitors to block the enzymatic activity. Once the mucous secretions of the epithelial cells stop, the inner lining of the stomach or duodenum would eventually be eroded by the combined action of acid and enzymes, leading to ulcer.
1. El fondo
En el cuerpo humano, el tracto gastrointestinal (GI) está revestido con tejidos mucosos o mucosos. Como se muestra en la Figura 7.0.1, la mucosa está compuesta principalmente por células epiteliales que están unidas a la membrana basal. De la pared intestinal, sobresalen pequeñas proyecciones en forma de dedos llamadas vellosidades que aumentan el área de absorción y el área de superficie de la pared intestinal. Los nutrientes digeridos (incluidos azúcares y aminoácidos) pasan a las vellosidades por difusión. La sangre circulante toma estos nutrientes. A diferencia del tejido mucoso de la superficie interna de los párpados o la boca, las células epiteliales que recubren el interior del estómago están expuestas a condiciones mucho más duras, por ejemplo, ácido (es decir, ácido clorhídrico), a veces alcohol, enzimas (por ejemplo, pepsina) para digerir los alimentos y los desechos generados por ellos. La secreción mucosa esencialmente protege las células dentro del estómago y el duodeno del daño causado por el ácido o las enzimas, por ejemplo, al presentar bicarbonato para neutralizar algunos de los efectos del ácido en el revestimiento interno del estómago, así como inhibidores para bloquear actividad enzimática Una vez que las secreciones mucosas de las células epiteliales se detienen, el revestimiento interno del estómago o el duodeno finalmente se erosiona por la acción combinada de ácido y enzimas, que conduce a la úlcera.
An ulcer is a deep defect in the esophageal, gastric, duodenal or intestinal wall involving the entire mucosal thickness and penetrating through the muscular mucosae. Figure 7.0.2a shows a photomicrograph of gastric ulcer and its two major components involved in healing: ulcer margin and granulation tissue. Tarnawski et al. (1990) "Healed experimental gastric ulcers remain histologically and ultrastructurally abnormal" J. Clin. Gastroenterol. 12(Suppl 1):139-147. It has been generally recognized that ulcer healing, a genetically programmed repair process, includes inflammation, cell proliferation, reepithelialization, formation of granulation tissue, angiogenesis, interactions between various cells and the matrix and tissue remodeling, all resulting in scar formation. See review by Tarnawski (2005) "Cellular and molecular mechanisms of gastro-intestinal ulcer healing" Digestive Disease & Science 50: Sup. 1 S24-S33. Figure 7.0.2b shows a photomicrograph of gastric mucosa from the area of macroscopically healed ulcers with scar. Studies demonstrated that reepithelialized mucosa of grossly "healed" experimental gastric ulcers has prominent histologic and ultrastructural abnormalities: reduced height, marked dilation of gastric glands, increased connective tissue, a disorganized microvascular network and increased capillary permeability. Tarnawski et al. (1990), supra. These prominent abnormalities may interfere with mucosal defense and cause ulcer recurrence when ulcerogenic factors are present. Therefore, the quality of mucosal structural restoration may be the most important factor in the determining future ulcer recurrence. Tarnawski et al. (2005), supra.
Una úlcera es un defecto profundo en la pared esofágica, gástrica, duodenal o intestinal que afecta todo el grosor de la mucosa y penetra a través de las mucosas musculares. La figura 7.0.2a muestra una microfotografía de úlcera gástrica y sus dos componentes principales involucrados en la curación: margen de la úlcera y tejido de granulación. Tarnawski y col. (1990) "Las úlceras gástricas experimentales curadas siguen siendo histológicamente y ultraestructuralmente anormales" J. Clin. Gastroenterol 12 (Supl. 1): 139-147. En general, se ha reconocido que la curación de úlceras, un proceso de reparación genéticamente programado, incluye inflamación, proliferación celular, reepitelización, formación de tejido de granulación, angiogénesis, interacciones entre varias células y la matriz y remodelación de tejidos, todo lo cual resulta en la formación de cicatrices. Ver revisión de Tarnawski (2005) "Mecanismos celulares y moleculares de la curación de úlceras gastrointestinales" Digestive Disease & Science 50: Sup. 1 S24-S33. La figura 7.0.2b muestra una fotomicrografía de la mucosa gástrica del área de úlceras cicatrizadas con cicatriz macroscópicamente. Los estudios demostraron que la mucosa reepitelizada de úlceras gástricas experimentales muy "curadas" tiene anomalías histológicas y ultraestructurales prominentes: altura reducida, dilatación marcada de las glándulas gástricas, aumento del tejido conectivo, una red microvascular desorganizada y mayor permeabilidad capilar. Tarnawski y col. (1990), supra. Estas anormalidades prominentes pueden interferir con la defensa de la mucosa y causar recurrencia de la úlcera cuando hay factores ulcerogénicos presentes. Por lo tanto, la calidad de la restauración estructural de la mucosa puede ser el factor más importante para determinar la recurrencia futura de la úlcera. Tarnawski y col. (2005), supra.
- Cloning of Gastrointestinal Villi in Cell Culture from Single, Isolated Cells
Normal human living intestine was obtained from surgical operations, and enzymatically digested so as to obtain dispersed single cells from the intestine samples. The suspended intestinal cells were cultured in MEM medium and divided into two groups: test group and control group. The MEBO regenerative nutrients were added to the cultures in the test group, while the control group did not receive any supplement. Every 3 days the old growth medium was discarded and fresh growth medium same as the first round was added to the cultures in the respective groups.
After 55 days of culture, in the treatment group the cells had grown into groups of cells appearing in various forms, including proliferation and differentiation of the cells isolated from human intestine samples. As shown in Figure 126.96.36.199a-c, in some areas, some of cells formed clusters that appeared to look like pieces of tissue. Surprisingly, it was observed that in some areas, tissue pieces resembling a fully assembled villus structure appeared in the culture Figure 188.8.131.52d. In comparison, most cells in the control group had died by Day 55.
To verify whether intestinal villus can be formed from proliferation and differentiation of isolated dispersed intestinal cells in vitro in the presence of the MEBO regenerative nutrients, experiments were conducted using intestines isolated from a mouse fetus (Figure 220.127.116.11a-c). The mouse fetal intestine was cut into small explants and cultured in cell culture medium in the presence or absence (control) of the MEBO regenerative nutrients (Figure 18.104.22.168d-f). Consistent with observation of cells from human intestines, single cells migrated from the explants started to form clones (Figure 126.96.36.199h-i) in the culture which grew to form tissue pieces having the same structure of a villus were formed in the presence of the MEBO regenerative nutrients (Figure 18.104.22.168j-m). In comparison, intestine explants in the control culture disintegrated (Figure 188.8.131.52g). A cross-sectional view (Figure 188.8.131.52n, p) of the villus shows that the tissue formed in vitro in the presence of the MEBO nutrients has the same structure as that obtained from tissue sections of intestines of a mouse fetus (Figure 18.104.22.168o) as shown in Yang et al. (2001) "Requirement of Math1 for secretory cell lineage commitment in the mouse intestine" Science 294:2155-2158.
These results are groundbreaking as they demonstrate that the MEBO regenerative nutrients can sustain vigorous proliferation and facilitate orderly differentiation of somatic cells for a long period of time to form multiple cell types that are linked together to form tissue with physiologically correct structure in the culture. From single, isolated cells from human and mouse intestines at least 4 types of cells are formed: entercytes, mucus-secreting goblet cells, enteroendocrine cells, and Paneth cells which are originated from epithelial stem cells in the crypts of the intestine. Although it remains to be ascertained the nature of the single, isolated cells that produced the multiple cells types in the culture containing the MEBO nutrients, it is significant that physiologically correct tissue has been cloned in vitro from single cells isolated from intestines. To our best knowledge, there is no report from others with the same results.
- Brief introduction of MEBO in GI regeneration
Gastrointestinal regeneration and restoration technique is a technique nourishing and promoting somatic cells which have potential regenerative ability existing in the gastrointestinal mucosa induced into stem cells, and then in situ regenerate new mucosa tissue, and in situ replace aged mucosa; further prevent gastrointestinal mucosa damages, and recover the structure and function of the gastrointestinal mucosa. In this way, this technique can ensure the digestion and absorption of nutrition to supply adequate nutrition for the cells in all tissues and organs of human body, prevent primary diseases and retard tissue aging. Meanwhile, personal biotic clock diet plan is enacted according to personal condition of gastrointestinal biotic clock to maintain the physiological condition of the gastrointestinal mucosa all along.
Gastrointestinal regeneration and restoration technique is realized through the collective effect of cell regeneration gastrointestinal mucosa in situ technique, MEBO Gastrointestinal Capsule as well as the biotic clock diet plan.
3.1 Scientific proof of the protection function of MEBO GIC for mucosa
The protection state of GIC on the mucosa surface
3.2 Scientific proof of the protection function of MEBO GIC for mucosa
Animal experiment showing GIC can prevent alcohol damage
The content of MEBO GIC sticks on the gastric mucosa surface, which can strengthen the protection function of mucosa mucus, prevent the stimulus of alcohol, spicy food and chemical medicine.
- Four Effects, One Plan
Gastrointestinal regeneration and restoration technique is one of the techniques of Human Body Regeneration and Restoration Science, which solves the problem of gastrointestinal aging in advance, the problem of ulcer healing with scar formation, and the problem of GI damage and constipation. Personal biotic clock diet plan is enacted according to personal condition of gastrointestinal biotic clock.
The First Effect: Solve the problem of gastrointestinal aging in advance
For human, even though we firstly see the skin getting old, while actually, it's the gastrointestinal mucosa which firstly starting to age. More worse, GI aging leads to the aging of our whole life. The life of the gastrointestinal mucosa is maintained through continuous self renewal depending on gland tissues under mucosa. The renewal of mucosa is fulfilled through the proliferation and differentiation of the stem cells existing in the gland tissues. For example, there are about 250 cells in the intestine gland tissue and there are certain stem cells among these cells. When one generation of mucosa tissue cells getting old, these stem cells will produce and form a new generation of mucosa organ. Thus, the life of mucosa organ can be maintained actively and ensure the absorption of nutrients of human body. However, the self-renewal ability will decrease with the increase of age and the long-term damage of mucosa, the number of stem cells are getting fewer and fewer, which will slow down the renewal speed and the atrophy and further cause aging in advance of the mucosa organ. And the aging of mucosa organ will decrease the digestion and absorption ability, which will lead to primary diseases for other organs. The experiments proved that the nutrient composition in MEBO Gastrointestinal Capsule can promote the stem cells and potential regenerative cells inside the gastrointestinal mucosa to in situ regenerate gastrointestinal mucosa organ, which can then prevent the aging in advance of mucosa.
In daily life, the aging of gastrointestinal organs is recognized as easy to tired, listless, adiposity or marasmus and etc. Since the absorption and digestion ability have decreased, most mid-aged people find themselves troubled with the symptoms above. MEBO Gastrointestinal Capsule can largely retard aging and help people to maintain the absorption and digestion ability of mucosa and recover the functions of aged mucosa organs.
The Second Effect: Solve the problem of scar formation after gastrointestinal ulcer treatment
The healing of gastrointestinal ulcer and inflammation is not a puzzle any more with the development of Modern Medicine. However, the remaining problem is, the ulcers will always be healed with scar formation and the healed part doesn't have physiological function and structure, which in one way will decrease the digestion and absorption function and in the other way will lead to abdominal discomfort or even stomachache and abdominal distension. MEBO Gastrointestinal Regeneration and Restoration technique can promote the residual stem cells and potential regenerative cells existing in ulcer wound to in situ regenerate new gastrointestinal mucosa organ, which will finally achieve ulcer healing without scar formation and recover all physiological structure and function completely.
The Third Effect: Solve the problem of damages caused by drinking, taking medicine and food
Drinking, taking medicine or even diet can cause gastrointestinal mucosa damages, which will lead to gastrointestinal function disorder or even maldigestion and malabsorption. The main reasons for diet to cause mucosa damages includes: people don't know what best fits gastrointestinal mucosa and no preventive protection is carried out during digestion. When the mucosa is damaged, the nutrients can not be efficiently digested and absorbed and damages will be directly led to human body organs and cause the nutrient defect disease in advance. The self-protection of mucosa is mainly realized through the mucus released by GI organ and adhered to the surface of mucosa. When the mucus decreased or damaged, gastrointestinal mucosa will be damaged by gastric acid and pepsin. Even though the self-renew ability of GI mucosa is kind of strong, while the long-term damage irritation; the decrease of mucus renewal and long-term damage from food can also cause many GI diseases. MEBO Gastrointestinal Capsule used in the Gastrointestinal Regeneration and Restoration technique has the function of sticking to the gastrointestinal mucus, which can strengthen the protection function of mucus to mucosa. Experiment results proved that the administration of MEBO Gastrointestinal Capsule can prevent the stimulus of alcohol and chemical drugs from damaging mucosa.
The Fourth Effect: Solve the problem of constipation
Constipation, sounds very common, but will threat to life if serious. Especially for middle aged or aged persons, constipation will always initiate heart and cerebrovascular diseases. The medical divisions of constipation are as following: intractable constipation caused by birth defect, functional constipation caused by non-disease causes and organic constipation caused by diseases. There are few effective solutions to constipation so far worldwide. We divide constipation into two types: excluding the intractable constipation and birth defect, all the other types of constipation are caused by the abnormal cells in the defecation system. Basically after the application of normal biotic clock diet plan, constipation will not occur. What's more, MEBO Gastrointestinal Capsule has the function of removing constipation. The gastrointestinal regeneration and restoration technique solves the constipation problem through the regeneration of muscular layer cells of intestine, rectum mucosa and intestinal wall.
One Plan: Biotic clock diet plan
The research shows that one of the main reasons causing gastrointestinal mucosa damage, ulcer, and chronic inflammation and aging in advance is that the biotic clock diet is not followed. So mastering the correct biotic clock diet is very important in order to retard aging and diet without damages to gastrointestinal mucosa. MEBO Gastrointestinal Regeneration and Restoration technique helps people to enact personal biotic clock diet plan according to individual physiological habits and conditions.
To further test the ability of the MEBO regenerative nutrients to facilitate cloning of physiologically correct tissue in vitro, experiments were conducted on explants of mouse intestine. Explants of mouse intestine were obtained and a few villi on the explants were excised and cultured in normal cell culture medium. The cultured explants were divided into two groups: test group and control group. The MEBO regenerative nutrients were added to the cultures in the test group, while the control group did not receive any supplement.
As shown in the panels in Figure188.8.131.52a-d, in the treatment group the explants not only survived but also grew new villi from the wound where the original villi had been removed. By day 6, nascent structure of villus started to appear on the wound, and by day 8, regeneration of multiple new villi with the same physiological structure as the original ones was complete. By contrast, explants in the control group gradually disintegrated and died in the culture (Figure126.96.36.199a-d).
So far our extensive literature search has not found reports of such results of regeneration of villus from explants cultured in vitro. These results are significant as they once again demonstrate that the MEBO regenerative nutrients are able to promote regeneration of injured tissue and organ, consistent with the clinical results obtained from wound and ulcer patients. Scientifically groundbreaking is the fact that under the condition provided by the MEBO regenerative nutrients, normal somatic cells can behave like stem cells to proliferate vigorously and differentiate orderly to produce multiple cell types which eventually form tissue with physiologically correct structure, both in vivo and in vitro.
These findings are illuminating in that the MEBO regenerative nutrients can be delivered not only topically but also systemically to facilitate regeneration of injured or aged tissue and organ in the body.
Built upon MEBO's innovative technologies and products for the regeneration of wounded skin that leads to restoration of normal skin structure and function, MEBO has developed a series of products that are formulated for oral delivery and can be taken conveniently in the form of soft gel capsules by users to maintain the integrity of or to repair/regenerate the mucosal tissue without scar formation. Similar to the process of regeneration of the epithelium of the skin, repair or regeneration of damaged or eroded epithelium on the mucosal lining can be achieved by activating and sustaining intrinsic regenerative potential of the body and cultivating stem cells of the body in situ, i.e., right at the site of ulcerative lesion.
As shown below, the mucosal tissues of those who suffered from various GI disorders (such as gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer and erosive gastritis due to the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation) can be regenerated after a month of taking the MEBO regenerative nutrients. The newly regenerated mucosa is scarless.
Case I: Female, age 46, peptic ulcer in the antrum of the stomach.
Case II: Female, age 50, peptic ulcer in the antrum of the stomach.
Case III: Male, age 41, duodenal ulcer.
Case IV: Male, age 59, peptic ulcer and erosive gastritis due to pancreatic cancer chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
- Regenerative Restoration of GI Tract
7.1 The gastrointestinal mucosa healthcare effect of MEBO GIC
After the composition of MEBO GIC entering the gastrointestinal tract, the composition will mix with mucus and form more solid prevention layer to prevent the stimulus of food, gastric acid and other destroying factors. If damage occurs, the composition will search it immediately and adheres to the damaged surface because of the high affinity. Then a protection layer will form to prevent secondary damage. So this product can not only protect gastrointestinal mucosa from damage, but also assure the normal digestion and absorption function.
GIC can prevent gastrointestinal mucosa from the damage of the habit disturbance such as: drinking, smoking, spicy and cold food.
7.2 scientific prove of the anti-aging function of MEBO GIC, animal experiment
The experimental animal: 10-month-old male albino rat with the average life of 480 days. The experiment lasted for 526 days. The experiment proves: MEBO Gastrointestinal Regeneration & Restoration technique (including MEBO GIC) can maintain the vigorous life of the gastrointestinal mucosa, the related gland tissues, muscular layer of the smooth muscle. However, animals without the administration of GIC appear: the atrophy of gastrointestinal mucosa, obvious aging, obviously decreased gland, thinning of muscular layer of smooth muscle.
The experimental results are as follows:
7.3 Regenerative restoration of GI tract in humans
As shown below in Figures 7.3.1 and 7.3.2, healthy adult humans, even if having degenerated/atrophic shortened villi on the GI lining due to aging, can still benefit from the regenerative power of the MEBO nutrients which promote re-growth of lush, longer villi (which are associated with a more youthful human body). By using the MEBO nutrients to regenerate the GI lining without scar formation, the GI system is revitalized functionally to allow better absorption of nutrients to the body, which, in turn, leads to nourishment of the body systematically.

SMART goals...most folks will have heard of them, and are likely to know that they are a mnemonic acronym for: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Timely.
SMART goals might not be useful in every coaching or mentoring context or conversation, but they can be a powerful way for you to map out a way forward, and build in self-accountability. The added benefit is that SMART goals offer a way to see how you are progressing, and to share that progress with others.
In a previous post, How great goal-setting can help turn your dreams into reality, I've shared some ideas about effective goal setting. Building on that, you may find it useful to see an example from a developing coach and mentor (who has agreed I can share it with you).
The developing coach and mentor - let's call him Nick (not his real name) - had identified that he would like to develop a specific skill - 'active listening', and, during the course of a couple of coaching sessions he came up with the following.
One of the coaching skills I would like to develop further in the next six months is focussed, active listening. A complementary aspect is to further develop my ability to ask really open questions that help my coachees focus on their solution rather than the problem. To help me develop these coaching skills I will:
SMART goal 1: During each of my coaching sessions until September 2016 I will type notes as I listen in an online Google document (that is also shared with my coachee). Typing the notes will mean that I can capture what I hear being said in a way that will help free up my short term memory and enable me to listen to comprehend.
The associated actions would include
- Invite the coachee to read, check and comment on the notes I take (as another way of checking my understanding and signalling that I am interested / listening) - either during the session or afterwards.
- Use the notes to frame powerful questions 'in the moment' (i.e. I will not be tempted to think of the question as I am listening, which will mean I can listen more openly)
- Consciously focus on remaining neutral and non-judgemental by listening to the words that are being said, as well as to the pauses, emphases, and silences.
- Use, while I am typing, noncommittal responses (e.g. "uh huh"), or short prompts (e.g. "I'd like to hear more about that") to signal interest and engagement.
- After every second session ask each coachee what the impact has been for them of me typing notes, and whether they would like me to continue.
- Reflect on the impact I feel my note taking has had on my own ability to focus more and listen deeply.
- Acknowledge improvements I recognise and / or positive feedback from coachees by sharing them with my own coach.
SMART goal 2: During each of my coaching sessions until 18th September 2016 I will ask at least 3 open questions (starting with 'what', 'how' or 'if') that encourage my coachee to focus on a strategy to move forward and / or on their next steps.
- After each session I will go through the notes I took, and identify (at least) 3 open questions that I asked and recorded in my notes during the session.
- Reflect in writing (about 100 words) in my notebook on what the impact of the 3 questions was and use this to inform my coaching sessions going forward.
- Note and record positive impacts so that I can acknowledge and celebrate my progress with my own coach.
While the example from Nick is specific to coaching, it provides a clear outline of setting SMART goals, which are specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and timely. He fed back that he found it really useful to work through the process, and a good sense of accomplishment as he could clearly see the impact he was making for his coachees.
What are your thoughts? How do you use SMART goals? What could they do to develop your practice, and your organisation further?

Good morning!! I'm practically bouncing in my chair with excitement – do I have news for you! As you all know, I'm a co-host of the #HistoricalFix twitter chats along with Erin and Ellice. (A quick recap: the first chat's recommendations, recommendations from the second chat, recommendations from the third chat, and an awesome guest post from one of our featured authors.)
Since April, ideas for a book club have been tossed around. After all, it only seems natural for a group of historical fiction readers to all want to read and discuss the same novel! It wasn't until our December 1 chat, a bonus chat that focused on tv shows and movies, that we started seriously discussing the possibility of a book club. After the chat ended, Erin, Ellice, and I put our heads together and began planning it out. Fast forward to a week later and, finally, I'm able to say the book club is happening!
Like most 18th century Venetians, Adriana d'Amato adores music-except her strict merchant father has forbidden her to cultivate her gift for the violin. But she refuses to let that stop her from living her dreams and begins sneaking out of her family's palazzo under the cover of night to take violin lessons from virtuoso violinist and composer Antonio Vivaldi. However, what begins as secret lessons swiftly evolves into a passionate, consuming love affair.
Adriana's father is intent on seeing her married to a wealthy, prominent member of Venice's patrician class-and a handsome, charming suitor, whom she knows she could love, only complicates matters-but Vivaldi is a priest, making their relationship forbidden in the eyes of the Church and of society. They both know their affair will end upon Adriana's marriage, but she cannot anticipate the events that will force Vivaldi to choose between her and his music. The repercussions of his choice-and of Adriana's own choices-will haunt both of their lives in ways they never imagined.
Last week I received a copy of The Violinist of Venice from the publisher (thank you, St. Martin's!) and Erin mentioned she had a copy too. What initially was going to be a buddy read turned into the club's first pick and I couldn't be more excited!!
So now for the rest of the details:
Anyone who wants to be a part is completely welcome and encouraged to join in! You do not have to be a regular #HistoricalFix chatter. We want to keep this light-hearted and fun and longtime followers of our blogs as well as new readers are invited!
Somehow I've gone from a girl who has always wanted to be a part of a book club but never was to a girl who's semi-leading one! We're super new at this, so please bear with us during the craziness while we get into the swing of things! We'll have chats scattered every few months and we can't stress enough that these are separate from our #HistoricalFix chats. We understand that not every chatter wants to participate and not everyone in the book club will want to be a regular chatter. We don't want anyone to feel excluded or cast aside, though by all means, if you want to attend all of them, please join!!
Because The Violinist of Venice doesn't come out until December 15 we want anyone interested to be able to have plenty of time to get a copy of the book (whether it's by buying it or getting one from the library) and read it. ALSO, our next #HistoricalFix chat is January 26, so we didn't want to cut into the chat's time (though I'm sure we'll be taking a moment or two to talk about the book club for anyone who's missed the announcements.) SO! The chat will be February 24, 8:30 PM EST at #bookclubfix.
We'll also be watching Poldark during December and January too! (Hello, Aidan Turner ♥)
I don't know about you but I am SO insanely thrilled that our idea for a book club is now a Thing! Please, please spread the word and join in! We would love to have you there – we'll also be choosing the next book during the #bookclubfix chat, so bring your best recommendations!

I've written frequently about Environmental Working Group's Dirty Dozen produce list. The list names the 12 fruits and vegetables with the highest pesticide load. It helps consumers to avoid those foods.
I just discovered that Food and Water Watch has its own dirty dozen list for seafood. These are 12 fish that fail at least two of Food and Water Watch's criteria for safe and sustainable seafood. Unlike EWG's produce list, which is ranked in order of the highest offender to the lowest, the seafood list is not in any specific order.
Here are the top 12 fish to avoid. To find out the reasons why, you'll need to head on over Food and Water Watch's website.
- Catfish, imported (also known as Basa, Swai, Tra or Pangasius)
- Caviar, especially from beluga and other wild-caught sturgeon
- Cod, Atlantic
- Eel, American (also known as "yellow" or "silver" eel)
- Flatfish, Atlantic (e.g. flounder, sole and halibut)
- King crab, imported
- Shrimp, imported
- Orange roughy
- Salmon, Atlantic and farmed
- Seabass, Chilean
- Shark
- Tuna, Bluefin, Atlantic

Shellie is amazing. She cares so much about healing her clients and will go above and beyond to do so.
Shellie is a fantastic massage therapist with a heart of gold! My husband & I both have seen her on a regular basis for over a year. We are both competitive runners & are impressed with her deep sports massage. We recommend her to all of our runner (and non-runner) friends. If we have any muscular problems, we are certain she will work it out for us! My husband also has been to the new therapist Valerie & says she is great as well. I highly recommend that you try out Amazing Hands!

SeThey removed 11 overgrown shrubs, shredding them on site. These shrubs were approximately 10-15 ft. tall. The process went very smoothly and in a orderly fashion. Care was taken when removing the shrubs not to interfere with power lines on property, etc. The clean up afterwards was quick and efficient, removing all branches and debris.
Mr. G., Pompton Plains, NJ
The crew that took down my massive tree worked like a well oiled machine. The day they took down that monster was not a nice day. They worked thru the pouring rain without complaint. In my estimation you could not find a more diligent crew.
If you need tree work done, these are the guys and gal you want to work for you.
The tree top guy was awesome (nerves of steel) and the crane operator was an artist, he really knows what he is doing. This is definitely the A team.
Mr. B., Wayne, NJ
I'm letting you know that I was extremely pleased with the job that was done by your company.
The service men that came were very pleasant and very good at what they were doing.
They took precautions with the surrounding area to make sure nothing would be damaged.
They came the time they said they would come and the job was done in a timely fashion.
An extremely professional group of people.
I would highly recommend your services to anyone looking for a good dependable tree service

Hey y'all! So I figured that it might be helpful to some people if I did a comparison of two products that do the exact same thing, but have different ingredients and are used differently. The Murad Rapid Age Spot & Lightening Serum is a product that I've used for a few years now. I used it religiously in the past, but didn't like how it felt under my moisturizer. I switched to the Philosophy Turbo Booster C Powder because it was easier to combine with my moisturizer. The Murad retails at Sephora for and the Philosophy retails for .

DevSecOps Challenges in a Cloud Native World
The Kubernetes Phenomenon: More Than Just A Technology
You Build It, You Secure It: Introduction to DevSecOps
Early on in the "cloud," Werner Vogels made his famous quote "You Build It, You Run It". With DevOps we learned that this became a mantra for shared responsibility between developers and operations. Operations learned how to process infrastructure as code and participate early in the supply chain of a service's life cycle. Developers learned that they had responsibilities to enable and in some cases operationalize their service. Now there is a new movement to include and collaborate in a similar way with Security. This is all part of an "everything" shift left ideal. Developers and operations are taught the importance of including security in the stories and all parts of the delivery pipeline including security gates as well as code test gates. Listen in on this session featuring DevSecOps expert, John Willis, as he goes through an introduction to DevSecOps. We discuss: Why traditional DevOps has shifted and what this shift means How DevSecOps can change the game for your team Tips and tricks for getting DevSecOps started within your organization About the Speaker: John Willis is VP of DevOps and Digital Practices at SJ Technologies. Prior to SJ Technologies he was the Director of Ecosystem Development for Docker, which he joined after the company he co-founded (SocketPlane, which focused on SDN for containers) was acquired by Docker in March 2015. Previous to founding SocketPlane in Fall 2014, John was the Chief DevOps Evangelist at Dell, which he joined following the Enstratius acquisition in May 2013.

Agility is the cornerstone of the DevOps movement. Developers are working to continuously integrate and deploy (CI/CD) code to the cloud to ensure applications are seamlessly updated and current. But what about ensuring they are secure? Security best practices and compliance are now the responsibility of everyone in the development lifecycle, and continuous security is a critical component of the ongoing deployment process. The challenge is that not everyone knows how to integrate these two camps in a seamless and successful manner. Listen in on this session for an interactive webinar featuring George Gerchow, VP of Security and Compliance at Sumo Logic and DevSecOps evangelist, to discover how to: Incorporate fundamental and high impact security best practices into your current DevOps operations Gain visibility into your compliance posture Identify potential risks and threats in your environments
Analytics & Machine Learning Drive ITOA 2.0 for Better App Performance - Webinar
Today's leading enterprises are striving to deliver high performance, highly scalable and always-on digital services. Built using a host of modern tools including microservices, multiple cloud platforms, containers and DevOps practices, these apps present new challenges for operations teams when it comes to understanding and driving performance. Although IT operations analytics (ITOA) tools bring visibility to IT teams, they don't operate well in today's complex and heterogeneous environments. A new breed of ITOA solutions (ITOA 2.0), driven by advancements in machine learning and big-data technologies are poised to better respond to the needs of IT pros responsible for the modern complex applications. In this webinar, we will discuss: •The driving factors behind the evolution of ITOA to ITOA 2.0 •How machine learning and analytics play a central role •Why correlation of logs and metrics is becoming critical for monitoring tools •How organizations can leverage ITOA 2.0 technologies to reduce mean time to identify the source of problems and repair them
We can't "hold on a sec" - Webinar
DevSecOps means everyone is responsible for security and compliance from Day 1. A DevSecOps culture is a must to maintain speed, agility and innovation while simultaneously meeting regulations and staying ahead of attacks. Learn how to bake it into your technology's DNA from Day 1. Ultimately, the challenge is to deal with imminent cloud-based attacks, whilst having visibility into processes in order to safeguard user and corporate information. This is easiest, and most scalable, under the mantra of DevSecOps. Do it from Day 1, and you won't regret it on Day 1,000. In this session, George will share best practice of how companies have achieved this, as well as the benefits they have realised -- and potential catastrophes they have avoided. Some of the key takeaways will include: How DevSecOps is changing how organisations approach security and compliance A practitioners' guide to Securing the Cloud and Demystifying GDPR How to successfully implement and maintain a DevSecOps culture
How to Avoid the Pitfalls of Microservices
Microservices are front and center on every company's IT operations radar. It's an approach very different from its monolithic predator, and much of it goes against the grain of traditional thinking. It has modular, independent components and teams, yet it requires complete company involvement and end-to-end management. To some, its "iterative development" approach (multiple cycles of redevelopment for the same service) resembles repetitive failure rather than ongoing learning. Yet industry giants like Amazon and Netflix have made great strides with it. So, is microservices the answer? What are the pitfalls? Is this the path you really want to lead your company down? Is it worth the transition from monolithic, and if so, what should you look out for? For the answers to all these questions and more, listen in to this engaging webinar featuring JP Morgenthal, Managing Editor of Microservices Journal, and a specialist in the integration of people and technology in the business sphere, as they discuss the ins and outs of microservices, including: Common pitfalls of microservices Management, sprawl, and decomposition How to avoid microservices pitfalls
Trouble in the Land of Open Source
How Hootsuite replaced ELK and Graphite with Sumo Logic to deliver amazing service to their customers Today's businesses run on modern applications.

Correlate Your Logs and Metrics to Improve Application Experience
To effectively manage your application, it's critical to have visibility into both logs and metrics. Metrics can provide app and infrastructure KPIs, while logs provide context into application and infrastructure execution KPIs. Managing one without the other, provides you with incomplete data; you need both to troubleshoot application issues quickly and efficiently.

Bring your Graphite-compatible Metrics into Sumo Logic
If you use open source Graphite software to monitor mission critical applications, you know well the challenges in running, managing and scaling Graphite. Graphite may be ok to get started, but it creates lots of cost and complexity and total-cost-of-ownership headaches as your environment scales. Sumo Logic provides the industry's first machine data analytics platform to natively ingest, index and analyze metrics and log data together in real-time. In this webinar, we will show a live demo of how to: Ingest graphite compatible metrics into the Sumo Logic service Analyze and dashboard the metrics to get real-time insights Correlate Graphite metrics and logs to troubleshoot issues faster See how easy it is to migrate from graphite to Sumo Logic.
Implementing and Maintaining a DevSecOps Approach in the Cloud
It's no secret that continuous innovation and speed to market are mandating dynamic paradigm shifts in how companies conceive, develop and implement IT operations and security strategies. While this is all fine and well for the DevOps teams, for the folks managing security, these innovations bring up new challenges. Modern applications must be architected and managed with security in mind from the get-go, and building a SaaS offering that has security baked in is a whole new game. DevSecOps is the name of the game, but there isn't always a clear path to implementation and adoption. Between protecting against major attacks that arrive on a daily basis to maintaining compliance with strict regulations, leaving the boundaries of traditional IT can leave some security professionals quaking in their boots. Fear not, friends! There is a way to be secure and compliant in the cloud with the right approach. In this webinar, George Gerchow, VP of Security and Compliance at Sumo Logic, will do a deep dive into the steps it takes to successfully implement and maintain DevSecOps in your organization at scale.

It has been nearly impossible to keep my mind on school and work this week. Just as a I start to research prices on equipment for my boss, or research homework at home, I get sidetracked and wind up surfing for things such as:
- Free and cheap things to do in NYC with your kids;
- Subway routes to and from La Guardia airport;
- Finding Joel's apartment on Google Earth; and
- Museum hours and info.
I was hoping the tree in Rockefeller Center would be decorated and lit when we got there, but according to the NYC websites I've seen, the tree lighting ceremony isn't until Nov. 28. Bummer! However, The Rink at Rockefeller Center is open, so maybe I can get some good pics of Jamie ice skating. I won't be ice skating, though. Don't think my foot can handle it yet.
The most important thing, though, is seeing Joel and Leah. I can't wait for them to see how much Jamie has grown. My brother, bless his heart, has even been researching online how to play Jamie's Avatar: The Last Airbender trading card game with him. Jamie will be thrilled, because I won't play it with him. I don't understand the rules, and frankly, I don't think Jamie does either. Each time I've attempted to play it with him in the past, what he says the rules are changes. I think once Joel figures out how to play it, he may be the one teaching Jamie how it's really supposed to be played. Can't wait to see you guys!
(And yes, to my Kentucky folks, I'm really looking forward to seeing you guys, too! Love you all great big bunches!)

Hamburg Marketing, Hamburg Ministry of Culture, and 300 cultural institutions of the Hamburg Metropolitan Region have joined forces to promote the city's cultural assets by a national poster campaign due to be launched next week
Make diversity visible
With 300 cultural institutions, including 60 museums and 45 theatres, Hamburg's cultural landscape is rich, varied, and of high quality. With the new cultural marketing campaign developed by Hamburg Marketing GmbH in co-operation with the Ministry of Culture and Hamburg's cultural institutions, this diversity is now made visible in a uniform way, without neglecting the individuality of each participant. Barbara Kisseler, Hamburg Minister of Culture, says: "Hamburg is a city of culture, and we promote this particular quality by our accented cultural marketing. The campaign designed by the Hamburg agency gürtlerbachmann allows all cultural institutions and initiatives to get involved and to show their assets, thus emphasising the fact that Hamburg is a liberal and open city for all forms of art and culture."
16 Iconic Posters
In close collaboration with cultural partners, 16 posters were designed and linked by a key visual. In the campaign, Hamburg's "Große Freiheit" – once referring to the freedom of religion and trade in Altona – is re-interpreted for the city's cultural offers, where culture does not retreat to houses and or hide behind curtains, but makes the city a stage, with styles and genres co-exist and mixing to create new, hybrid forms. While ten institutions were partners at the start of the campaign in Hamburg in November 2014, further partners such as Deutsche Schauspielhaus, Ensemble Resonanz, Ballinstadt emigration museum, Elbjazz, and Reeperbahn Festival have joined the initiative with posters featuring their assets.
Campaign Culture At Elbphilharmonie's Construction Fence
"Hamburg is a city of culture, and we promote this particular quality by our accented cultural marketing. Our campaign allows all cultural institutions and initiatives to get involved and to show their assets. By opening the campaign to new partners and featuring it on the building fence of Elbphilharmonie, we underline the fact that future concert hall has been part of our cultural landscape already today." Thorsten Kausch, managing director Hamburg Marketing GmbH, adds: "From the very beginning, our target has been a long-running, holistic campaign. Now, we have reached the next level. Since the announcement of the official opening date, Hamburg's city marketing has been increasing its activities in promoting Hamburg's assets as a city of music and culture at home and abroad. Our cultural marketing campaign is quintessential to these efforts."
In The Sign Of Culture Also At ITB
To finance the campaign, the Hamburg Senate provided funds from the city's cultural and tourist tax. In addition to other national campaigns, the launch of a new Hamburg culture app is currently being prepared with Hamburg Tourismus GmbH (HHT) as partner. In addition, HHT will showcase the campaign at the International Tourism Exchange (ITB), where Hamburg will present its cultural landscape to more than 200,000 trade visitors. "Especially in view of a our Olympic bid, we want to show that Hamburg is synonymous with innovation, vitality, and passion. This manifests itself nowhere better than in Hamburg cultural scene", said Thorsten Kausch.

I have furniture in my kitchen where it so does not belong. But….
My new carpet is being installed as I'm watching. The tacky, ugly beige Berber carpet that came with the house will be no more. I'm so excited. Poor Oscar doesn't know whether to shit or go blind. Three strange men going in and out of the house at will and I'm just sitting, doing nothing. He keeps running up to me and staring, like I should be stopping these men from taking his stinky carpet away.
I am so impressed with these guys so far. Very polite and fast working. They got here right on time and within a half hour they have everything torn up and the shop vac running to make sure there is nothing under the new carpet dirt wise.
I always thought the floor under the carpet was cement, but it's actually peel and stick tile, and from the looks of it, several different boxes and colors were used.
Now that I'm looking at the size of the room, I'm thinking of turning this space into a "game room". I can see a pool table in here, with a race track that drops from the ceiling and a couple of pinball machines, a video game in the corner. Yep, this room could rock as a game room.
Neon signs on the walls, door leading out to the deck and the pool. I would take the table out of the breakfast nook and put some cozy chairs in here, get rid of the white picket fence between the rooms, I can see it now. The perfect "Man cave", adapted by a woman. Now I can order my new blinds and curtains for the room. I get to lose the dark blue mini blinds that were installed by the old owner and put some bright white ones in. I wish I could resurface the brick fireplace wall with river rock. It would add such a dimension to the room.
It looks so nice and they've only just started to lay it down. One nice big piece so there are no seams to deal with.
They are finished, the furniture moved back in and the room looks amazing. I think we need to lose the paintings on the walls though. I'm thinking of going with old sepia prints in old wood frames. If I have to deal with paneling, I might as well make it work for me. Now I have to decide if I want to run errands for a while or just sit and enjoy my new carpet.
I know, I'll run errands for a couple of hours then come home and nap. It's still early enough to sneak in a pedicure and some shopping before I crash for the day.
Have a marvelous week everyone.
