Product Information
The Miele induction hob fits in to your kitchen seamlessly with its sleek ceramic design and elegant, stainless steel, all-round frame. The hob works to deliver efficient, quality cooking whilst making your time in the kitchen easier. Featuring 4 versatile cooking zones each with 9 power levels and the shortest heating time thanks to booster options. With a number of safety functions the Miele hob gives peace of mind whilst being a stylish addition to the kitchen.
The Miele induction hob cleverly detects when a pan is on the hob and will only provide heat when the pan is detected, keeping the surface safer. It also recognises the size of the pan, supplying heat to this area only, an efficient use of energy.
Cooking with induction is much more efficient as no heat is lost. Heat is only generated where it is needed which is at the bottom of the pan. Induction cooking is also particularly safe as the ceramic glass remains comparatively cool.
The hob intelligently monitors the temperature of the pans base, this way it can effectively keep food warm ready for serving, without burning. Enabling you to concentrate on creating the rest of your menu.
This Miele automatic setting turns down the heat from its initial power for fast heating to a lower temperature for further cooking. This way you won't forget to turn down the heat in time, food won't burn and you save energy.
The smooth ceramic glass top is super easy to wipe clean and hardly anything can burn onto it. Splatters and spillages can easily be wiped away thanks to the slick surface, even when the hob is in operation as the surface remains relatively cool.
If a pan is not in place on the switched-on cooking zone or the pan is unsuitable the zone won't start. A maximum operation duration is defined for each power stage. If the hob detects that a zone has been operating on the same power stage for an unusually long time it switches off automatically.
With the safety lock any inadvertent changes to the chosen power levels during cooking are prevented. The lock prevents from accidental switch-on too. Each zone is equipped with overheating protection. This automatically switches off the heating element of the cooking zone in case of extreme use before the ceramic glass or other components can overheat.

What are you creating? What are others creating?
What is the collective consciousness of different groups, organizations and countries creating?
The beliefs held in your subconscious mind are creating your reality.
They are the underlying cause of all of your relationships,
successes, health, experiences, and ultimately your happiness.
Look around in your life today. Look around at the world today.
What are we creating together collectively?
How we respond to events and situations depends on what and how the information given to the subconscious mind is received and interpreted through the feelings created. This then forms a belief about someone, something or our self, others, one's environment and conditions. Think about it. Because the beliefs we create that are limiting, do not align us with an actual 'truth' - but what our perception of a truth is. At a certain point in time, these limiting beliefs can actually protect us depending upon the situation. Once they are formed however, they lock in place wiring our body's chemistry, create our experience and emotions.
Conscious efforts to create change can be difficult, taking months, even take years, or a lifetime, as it is our subconscious mind that governs us. Through this breakthrough methodology, change happens very quickly. Very easily. Very effortlessly. These 'programs' may be developed in childhood or formed throughout our lifetime In addition, the new science of Epigenetics has proven that more than 80% of our beliefs are inherited genetically from our parents and ancestors. While our ancestors have sacrificed and given us many wonderful things, abilities, talents and knowledge, they have also passed down their limiting beliefs and inter-generational trauma.
Using the ThetaHealing® meditation, we are able to do something called 'belief work' which allows us to remove negative programs or thought patterns and instill new beliefs and feelings to create shifts which allow us to move into our desired result. ThetaHealing is a powerful technique rooted at the intersection of neuroscience, epigenetics, quantum physics, and consciousness. It allows individuals to move forward at an accelerated rate.
Epigenetics proves that everything in our life is based on our surrounding environment, thoughts, feelings, behaviors and beliefs which we create and hold at the cellular level. We can actually choose which genes to express in the genetic code instead of being controlled by our genes and DNA. What you are choosing to observe or perceive is absorbed in the mind causing your body to respond by producing chemicals or hormones that affect cellular responses within the body.
We can actually change our DNA when we change our beliefs, feelings and perceptions. This is done through quantum physics where the information stored as energy or a cellular program is reorganized into a different potential, allowing for the creation of a new shift. We do this by connecting with the quantum field through the ThetaHealing technique though a simple meditation which lowers our brain wave into a theta and delta state. In these states, we connect with an infinite intelligence - or energy.
Through the ThetaHealing Meditation Technique, we can tap into this infinite source instantly and use this energy to change the synapses in the brain. The neuroplasticity creates new beliefs, thoughts, feelings and perceptions to be absorbed. This shift also aids in reorganizing your body's chemistry allowing you to heal your body, mind and spirit together at the same time. In addition to that, the technique can be applied and used for many different things.
Quantum Physics proves that the Universal Mind or Infinite Intelligence exists and that everything is frequency or resonance - vibrating energy that creates everything. The science of Unified Physics has recently proven this mathematically through an equation - building upon Einstein's initial work. We are all connected is no longer a new age mantra. It is a real, visceral reality and experience that is so great that we may even have trouble beginning to comprehend the magnitude of this concept. Every ancient tradition has known this fact. Now science has proved it. The science of the mind and how it can direct energy potential through thought to access altered states to change reality is at the forefront of the future itself. When a person has acquired enough virtues and cleared enough limiting beliefs, their ability to direct energy potential becomes stronger. They become co-creators of their reality with infinite intelligence. They become the observer as they witness infinite intelligence do the work. ThetaHealing is described as an attainable miracle in your life.
Spiritually speaking, the philosophy of the ThetaHealing technique teaches us that our soul sets up lessons in our life in order for us to learn and master virtues - which are a living energies, each with its own consciousness. ThetaHealing allows us to work through situations or get to the next level quickly through understanding the lessons our soul is asking us to learn, attaining the virtue while clearing the limiting beliefs which were in place that initially set up the pattern or cycle to complete the learning. When enough virtues have been attained and mastered, we can connect to these energy potentials through conciousness to interact with source energy and the laws of the universe to become creators of our own reality.
How This Works
The ThetaHealing technique is a meditation technique utilizing a spiritual philosophy with the purpose of improvement in mind, body and spirit while getting closer to the Creator of All That Is. It is a focused meditation to the Creator or Infinite Intelligence and allows you to train your mind, body and spirit to clear limiting beliefs and live life with positive thoughts, developing virtues in all that we do. Through meditation, the ThetaHealing Technique creates a positive lifestyle.
The ThetaHealing technique is always taught to be used in conjunction with conventional medicine. It teaches how to put to use one's own natural intuition, relying upon unconditional love of Creator Of All That Is to do the actual "work." We believe by focused meditation utilizing a "Theta" and "Delta" brainwave (incorporating physics and quantum physics), you can actually witness the Creator Of All That Is create instantaneous physical and emotional wellbeing. We have learned that through the ThetaHealing Technique intuitive abilities can be used to bring about spontaneous changes and physical and emotional wellbeing.
'The Creator of All That' is a name that encompasses all of the names that refer to the same thing – the energy that creates everything. This energy has many different names to different people from 'universal intelligence', 'unconditional love', 'the Divine', 'spirit', or in scientific terms, 'energy'. During a session, you will hear the Practitioner use this term.

Origins of ThetaHealing®
Vianna Stibal is a world renowned spiritual teacher who teaches her spiritual philosophy and meditation technique, ThetaHealing®, throughout the world. The ThetaHealing technique is a meditation that was created by Vianna in 1995 during her own personal journey back to health. Her original book details her personal healing journey and her connection to the Creator utilizing her meditation technique. She did not start teaching the ThetaHealing technique until 2006 or so, after she had perfected the technique on herself.

Liberty Sets Starz Spin Date
Liberty Media has set Jan. 11 as the effective date for its planned spin-off of its Starz premium channel, adding that the stock should begin trading on a when-issued basis beginning Jan. 10.
Liberty had announced its intention to separate its Starz assets in August.
Liberty said it plans to begin distributing shares in the new entities at 5 p.m. on Jan. 10, with shares trading on a when-issued basis on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbols "LMCAV" and "LMCBV" on Jan. 10 and Jan. 11. The distribution is expected to be completed as of 5 p.m. on Jan. 11.
Official trading will begin on Jan. 14 with the Starz entity trading under the symbols "STRZA" and "STRZB" and the Liberty entity under the symbols "LMCAD" and "LMCBD." On Jan. 22, the Liberty entity will trade under the symbols "LMCA" and "LMCB."
Essentially Liberty is spinning off its non-Starz assets into a separate entity tentatively called "Liberty Spinco" in which current Liberty shareholders will receive a dividend of one share of stock for every Liberty Media share they own. After that distribution, Liberty Media will change its name to Starz and Liberty Spinco will become Liberty Media.
The Starz entity will include 100% of the assets of Starz LLC, about $1.5 billion in debt and an undetermined amount of cash. Liberty Media will house all the non-Starz assets, such as the Atlanta Braves Major League Baseball team and location technology company TruePosition, interests in Sirius XM Radio, Barnes & Noble and Live Nation and minority equity investments in Time Warner Inc. and Viacom.
Speculation has run high that Starz, which has pumped a substantial amount of capital into original programming like Spartacus: War of the Damned, Davinci's Demons and Magic City, could be an acquisition target after the spin-off is complete. Possible suitors include Home Box Office parent Time Warner Inc. and Showtime owner CBS, as well as Comcast, News Corp., Walt Disney Co. and Netflix.

Click here to see the dates when our Giants tickets right behind home plate are available!
Here's how scalpers can rip you off if you buy paper tickets from them on the street outside AT&T Park (or anywhere else that you buy a paper ticket from a stranger):
1. They buy a legitimate paper ticket, then sell it on StubHub, which transfers the ticket electronically. The paper ticket is now worthless, despite all the beautiful Giants logos and bar code. It is in fact an original Giants printed ticket… but all of its value has been transferred.
2. They show you the (beautiful) worthless paper ticket and you give them cash. When you bring your ticket to the ballpark the ticket-takers scan the bar code printed on the paper ticket and tell you it's dead and you can't come in.
Most of the scalpers you see are selling live tickets, but there are crooks mixed in and there will be no easy clues to tell the crooks from the scalpers whose tickets are valid.
Shouldn't the credit card registered with StubHub keep this plan from working? It should, yet we see people with dead tickets in line in front of us as we arrive at the turnstiles at AT&T Park a couple of times each year.
When we left the 2010 All Star Game in Anaheim we passed two people who were victims of a double-sale there, one of the most intensely supervised games in Baseball.
The scam is also present on Craigslist, and we've seen various online tales of woe when people could not get into the ballpark.
We use the Giants' own Ticket Relay system to deliver to people who buy our spare season tickets, which is the team's official electronic record of the ticket owner and ensures that the ticket rights go to you.

Before leaving for London, I wrote a letter to the people living in the house in Hampstead where I lived for a time in 1967, asking if they would allow me to come into their home and take a nostalgifying look around.
What follows is a peek into a writer's process, tracking my efforts to make my letter to these people as persuasive as possible. It will also bring into question the writer's character. Am I admirably meticulous? Or terminally anal? The decision on that matter will be yours. Though if you choose "anal", I may not agreee.
For maximum enjoyment, print up the final version of the letter, and follow along as I delineate my writing decisions. To add an interactive component, play along, imagining what you would do in my place. Make a game of it, with scoring, a winner, and perhaps even a trophy.
It's fun for the whole family.
And it's free.
Okay, here we go.
Two hundred and fifty-seven words.
And what they went through to become the following final version of my request:
Dear 10 Church Row Homeowner(s),
My name is Earl Pomerantz. I am sixty-six years old, and I live in Santa Monica, California, a sort of beachside suburb of Los Angeles.
From December 1966 till July 1967, I lived in your house, renting a flat on your top floor, with a roommate, and later, moving down to a large room on the floor immediately below. Since then, on subsequent trips to London, I have made pilgrimages to Church Row many times, standing across the street from your home, wishing I could ring your bell, and request a brief visit to my past. To date, I have abstained from doing so, for fear of intruding on your privacy.
Now, from the upcoming Christmas Day until the following January 10th, my wife and I will have the pleasure of being in London once again. It was suggested to me that an appropriate approach to the proposal of a visit was to put my request in writing prior to my arrival.
This is that request.
If you are amenable to my dropping by, so I can show my wife where I once used to live, and also engage in a personal exercise in nostalgia, please contact me at (my private e-mail address), and let me know. It is certain that such a visit would be a substantial highlight of our trip.
I hope this request itself is not too much of an intrusion.
Wishing you and your family Happy Holidays, and a joyful New Year.
Earl Pomerantz.
Okay, back to the top.
Dear 10 Church Row Homeowner(s)
I thought of "Dear The People Who Live At 10 Church Row", but is sounded too cutesy. "To the Residents Living At 10 Church Row", sounds like a foreclosure notice. "To Whom It May Concern" wafts the institutional vibe of a neighborhood fumigation announcement. I thought about "Hi, there", but rejected it, as risking rubbing potentially stuffy English people the wrong way. I finally, though not entirely happily, settled on "Dear 10 Church Row Homeowner(s), bracketing the pluralizing "s" to avoid charges of "Man-of-the-house" sexism.
You see how complicated this is? And I'm still on the salutation.
I start with my name and my age, including the age to add weight to my request. "The man's sixty-six. Who knows how long he's got left?" I mentioned where I was from, including the more familiar "Los Angeles", in case they don't know where Santa Monica is. I could have said I was from Los Angeles, but that wouldn't have been accurate; I'm from Santa Monica. Accuracy is important, don't you think?
I informed them precisely when I lived at 10 Church Row, and alluded to the house's layout, all to affirm my credibility, and by so doing, elude sounding like, "Hi, I'm a burglar, and I'd like you to let me in, so I could rob your house." I then added,
"Since then, on subsequent trips to London, I have made pilgrimages to Church Row many times, standing across the street from your home, wishing I could ring your bell, and request a brief visit to my past."
Can you imagine me, standing forlornly across the street? You'd let that guy in, wouldn't you?
"To date, I have abstained from doing so, for fear of intruding on or privacy."
Come on! I'm a sweetheart!
I then let them know when we'll be in town, buttering them up, hopefully not too obviously, by saying,
"...my wife and I will have the pleasure of visiting London once again."
I could have just said we'll be "visiting London once again." But I wanted them to know it was a pleasure.
"If you are amenable to my dropping by…"
"Amenable", a second shot at it, felt like a fine, English-sounding word. It was originally "If you are open to my dropping by…" But I thought "amenable" was more "burgundy smoking jacket with leather patches", so I changed it.
"It was suggested to me that an appropriate approach to the proposal of a visit…"
First, it was "a polite approach", then, for a moment, "a respectful approach", then, finally, it was "an appropriate approach." It seemed better. In a country where they say things like, "It's just not done!", "appropriate" fits right in.
Also, check out my modus operendi. I didn't inflict my will on the issue. I solicited suggestions on how to handle things. Appropriately.
"I hope this request itself is not too much of an intrusion."
That one gave me some concern. Was I being sweetly solicitous? Or was I sucking up, to the point of parody?
"Wishing you and your family Happy Holidays, and a joyful New Year."
Generic but respectful, alluding subtly to Christmas by capitalizing "happy" and "holidays." Possibly too subtle, but I had nothing to lose. Capital letters come cheap.
Finally, the "sign-off. " At first, I didn't have one. But then, I went back , thinking English people expect a "sign-off."
Hardly original. But better than "Yours truly" – I have never understood what that meant – and considerably better than the alternatives, "Take care, you guys" and "I'll see you around." "Cheerio" didn't not even enter the picture.
It took me twenty minutes to write the original draft of the letter and two hours for the revisions, the proportion being not that different than when I'm writing my blog posts.
Did I make it better? I hope so. But I don't know.
Did I make it better? I hope I did. But I really don't know for sure.
Did I make it better? I think so. But I may be fooling myself.
Did I make it better? "Two hours" to make it worse? I have to believe I did.
Did I ma…"
"Stop it!"
I'll let you know if I hear back.

"Do you see this lantern?" cried Syme in a terrible voice. "Do you see the cross carved on it, and the flame inside? You did not make it. You did not light it. Better men than you, men who could believe and obey, twisted the entrails of iron and preserved the legend of fire. There is not a street you walk on, there is not a thread you wear, that was not made as this lantern was, by denying your philosophy of dirt and rats. You can make nothing. You can only destroy. You will destroy mankind; you will destroy the world. Let that suffice you. Yet this one old Christian lantern you shall not destroy. It shall go where your empire of apes will never have the wit to find it."

Joe Wicks reveals how to shape up without paying for a fancy gym – and YOU can do it too
The Body Coach wants to convince you that his diet-free, carb-filled recipes and at-home high intensity workouts are the key to losing weight
JANUARY is in full swing and most of us are thinking about eating more healthily and getting into shape.
But before you sign yourself up to the latest fad diet or an expensive gym membership, listen up.
Fitness guru and all-round beacon of health Joe Wicks is on hand just for The Sun to convince you that his diet-free, carb-filled recipes and his at-home high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts are the key to long-term weight loss.
Here, in the second instalment of our exclusive serialisation of Joe's new book The Fat-Loss Plan, we bring you more of his fabulous recipes and workouts.
Joe, aka The Body Coach, says: "I believe working out from home is the future.
"We are getting busier and busier, we don't have the time or resources to get to the gym.
"If you follow my plan to workout at home, and stick to it, you can truly transform the way you live.
"These workouts give you energy and so many positive changes. You'll be more productive, feel happier, be nicer to people around you and feel more in control.
"Once you get this feeling, it will keep you motivated long-term and will also totally transform your body."
Joe, 31, warns against the perils of calorie-counting, any diets that encourage you to cut out food groups and says he knows what the key is to a happy, healthy body — balance.
He says: "Brands get in touch and offer me silly money to promote their products. But I always have to think, 'Do my followers really want to see me promote a juice or drink or cleansing tea-tox I don't think that's going to be good for them?'
"So why would I promote it?
"I don't list the calorie content of my recipes.
"Counting calories is an old-school, outdated approach to nutrition — and not all calories are equal.
"Who wants to have to track, monitor and obsess over hitting a certain daily calorie intake? Not me."
Joe says that instead of obsessing over calorie counts, you should eat filling meals to ensure you keep hunger at bay.
He explains: "I think to an extent we are all emotional eaters.
"When we feel happy and in control we want to eat certain foods and when we feel sad, stressed or angry we choose to eat other stuff to make us feel better.
"An emotional binge-eating session often feels like a great idea at the time but you know that not long after you will start to feel down about it. You regret it.
"I'm hoping, [after completing my plan] you will not experience this as much because you will have ditched the low-calorie diets, be eating more food and have cleared out the bad stuff you usually reach for."
Joe, who is known for having one of Britain's most famous six-packs, stays in shape with four or five 20-minute workouts a week — and insists this is all YOU need to keep fit and lean.
He says: "It's a myth that you have to spend hours in the gym every day to get a great figure.
"Working hard for just 20 minutes is more than enough to help you burn fat, feel great and build muscle.
"Once you realise this, you're sorted."
The workout
JOE'S high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts involve you performing each exercise for 30 seconds, then having a 30-second break before moving on to the next. Repeat each of the circuits five times and ALWAYS warm up before exercising.
After yesterday's four exercises, below are four more for you to try.
Squat thrusts
Start in a strong plank position with your core engaged and back straight. Then jump both feet forward toward your hands.
Kick them back out again into the plank and repeat as fast as possible.
Lunge jumps
From a standing position, jump into a wide-leg squat, keeping back straight and chest up.
Jump up and into a forward lunge position, one leg forward with the back knee bent towards the floor.
Then jump back into a squat position.
Mountain climbers
Be sure to keep your abs engaged to prevent your back from dipping and arching.
Avoid sticking your bum in the air.
When you have achieved this flat back, one at a time, drive your knees toward your chest as fast as you can.
Squat pulses
Place your feet a comfortable distance apart and lower yourself as if you're about to sit into a chair.
Rather than standing up fully, just pulse up and down, staying low to keep the tension in your quads in your thighs.
- Always consult a doctor before undertaking a new exercise regime.
Recipe - breakfast
Raspberry, banana and buttermilk pancakes (post-workout, makes three)
- 120g self-raising flour;
- pinch of ground cinnamon;
- 1 tbsp golden caster sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder;
- 1 tbsp protein powder;
- 1 large egg;
- 100ml buttermilk, plus extra (optional);
- 100g raspberries;
- ½ banana, roughly chopped
- 1 tbsp coconut oil, melted
- runny honey, for drizzling (optional)
METHOD: Place the self-raising flour in a mixing bowl with the cinnamon, golden caster sugar, baking powder and protein powder. Stir to mix well.
In a bowl, whisk the egg and gradually stir in the buttermilk. Add to the dry ingredients, whisking to combine evenly to make a smooth batter (add a little extra buttermilk if the batter is too thick).
In a bowl, mix the raspberries and chopped banana together.
Pour the batter into a measuring jug. Brush some of the coconut oil on the base of a non-stick frying pan (about 12–14cm) and place over a medium to high heat.
Pour one-third of the batter into the pan and cook for 3–4 min. Scatter one-third of the raspberry and banana mixture over the top.
Flip the pancake over and cook for 1–2 min, or until lightly golden and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter and raspberry and banana mixture to make three pancakes in total.
Serve the pancakes stacked, with a drizzle of honey if desired.
Recipe - lunch
Joe's cheesy meatball skewers (reduced carb, serves one)
- 250g extra-lean steak mince;
- salt and pepper;
- 1 red pepper, de-seeded and cut into bite-sized pieces;
- 1 yellow pepper, de-seeded and cut into bite-sized pieces;
- 4 cherry tomatoes;
- 1 small red onion, peeled and cut into 8 wedges;
- 2 tbsp grated cheddar cheese;
For the herby yoghurt drizzle:
- ½ clove garlic, crushed;
- 100ml natural yoghurt;
- Juice of ½ lemon;
- 3 tbsp parsley, very finely chopped.
METHOD: Mix the steak mince with salt and pepper and knead until well combined. Shape into six meatballs. Preheat the grill to medium-high.
Whisk together all the ingredients for the herby yoghurt drizzle.
Alternating between each ingredient, thread the meatballs, peppers, cherry tomatoes and red onion pieces on to two metal skewers.
Place them on a rack under the grill and cook for 5–6 min.
Turn the skewers over, scatter the cheese over the meatballs and grill for a further 5–6 min, or until lightly golden and cooked through.
Place on a serving plate with the salad and drizzle over the herby yoghurt.
Recipe - dinner
Crispy cod with teriyaki and sesame stir-fry (reduced-carb, serves one)
- 2 tbsp teriyaki sauce;
- 1 tbsp sweet chilli sauce;
- Zest and juice of 1 lime;
- 180-190g cod fillet, skin on;
- ½ tbsp coconut oil;
- 300g pack stir-fry vegetables;
- 2 tbsp soy sauce;
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds.
METHOD: Mix the teriyaki sauce, sweet chilli sauce and the lime zest and juice in a large bowl. Add the cod fillet and turn to coat evenly.
Melt the coconut oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Reserving the marinade, drain the fish and fry, skin-side down, for 4–5 min, until slightly crisp and blackened.
Turn over the fish and cook for another 2–3 min, or until cooked through. Set aside.
Cook the stir-fry vegetables in another pan with a splash of water and add the soy sauce and reserved marinade, cooking for a further 2–3 min or according to the packet instructions.
Pile the stir-fry vegetables on to a plate and top with the crispy cod.
Scatter over the sesame seeds and serve.
JOE recommends eating two snacks a day, whether you have done a workout or not.
He suggests turning to either an apple, 75g of blueberries, a boiled egg or 30g of nuts – bite-size portions that will quell your appetite while keeping your plan on track.
1. IN one week you will work out four or five times for 20 minutes, with two or three rest days. You will eat either:
- Workout day meals – two reduced-carb meals, one post-workout meal, two snacks, or

Construction on vital interchanges west of Toowoomba – as part of the $1.6 billion Toowoomba Second Range Crossing (TSRC) project – is well underway, with earthworks ramping up on Stage 2 of the Gore Highway upgrade at Athol as well as on the Warrego West interchange projects.
According to Federal Minister for Infrastructure and Transport Darren Chester, the new interchanges will help improve freight efficiency as well as reduce congestion in the region and help save lives.
"Creating good connections for heavy vehicles using TSRC means fewer trucks through the middle of Toowoomba, quicker travel times for all drivers and improved safety all around.
"The Australian Government is investing up to $1.137 billion in the TSRC – money well spent when it comes to boosting the local, state and national economy and keeping people safe on our roads," Mr Chester said.
Federal Member for Groom John McVeigh said that linking the Gore Highway to the TSRC at Athol will help improve the efficiency and safety of the interstate road network.
"The project will also improve safety for Toowoomba locals with fewer trucks travelling through the Central Business District. This is an exciting step forward, with Nexus starting construction of the TSRC on and off ramps, and a bridge over the Gore Highway," Dr McVeigh said.
As part of the project, the Warrego West interchange will be future-proofed and it will involve longer overpass bridges over the west-bound lanes of the Warrego Highway, which will leave room for a possible cloverleaf link between the two roads.
The Warrego West interchange will also transition from dual to single carriageway on the TSRC. There will be two lanes on each direction from the Warrego Highway at Helidon Spa to Charlton, whereas the western extent of the bypass will have one lane in each direction.
Construction on the two interchanges is expected to be completed by the end of 2017.

Camera questions
BobbyBacala replied to BobbyBacala's topic in ARMA 2 & OA : MISSIONS - Editing & ScriptingI see, thanks. Another one: do the commands setCameraInterest work?? I'm trying to make a scene where there 2 units, one close to the camera, the other one is 30m away and I want the camera to focus on the one that is further away. I tried with setCameraInterest but I see no results. Thank you _camera = "camera" camcreate [0,0,0] _camera cameraeffect ["internal", "back"] ;comment "18:30:21"; _camera camPrepareTarget [-58517.43,82171.87,-3742.54]; _camera camPreparePos [527.88,1550.53,1.66]; _camera camPrepareFOV 0.260; _camera camCommitPrepared 0 _camera camPrepareFocus [50,1] _camera camCommitPrepare 0 a2 setCameraInterest 50 a1 setCameraInterest 0

BobbyBacala replied to BobbyBacala's topic in ARMA 2 & OA : MISSIONS - Editing & ScriptingI read about it, I see that "camera.sqs" use it when I save the position with LMB, I know what "prepare" means in english. But I dont get the diference between campreparetarget and camsettarget? If it "prepares" the target, what does exactly imply??

Camera follow unit, but with only one coordinate
BobbyBacala posted a topic in ARMA 2 & OA : MISSIONS - Editing & ScriptingHello, I know how to make a camera follow a unit, but what I really need is to make it follow a unit while updating only one coordinate of that unit. For ex, I want to follow a chopper that is moving accros the map, but I dont want the camera to change the altitude when the chopper does it. Im thinking this _cam = "camera" camcreate [0,0,0]; _cam cameraeffect ["INTERNAL","BACK"]; _cam camsettarget heli; _cam camsetrelpos [0,-15,0]; _cam camcommit 0; _pos = getpos _cam; _cam cameraeffect ["terminate", "back"]; camdestroy _cam; _cam2 = "camera" camcreate [0,0,0]; _cam2 cameraeffect ["INTERNAL","BACK"]; _cam2 camsetpos _pos; _cam2 camcommit 0; while {alive player} do{ _cam2 camsetrelpos [(getpos this select 0),(getpos heli select 1), (getpos this select 2)]; _cam2 camcommit 0; }; but loop doesnt work

Slide 18: PROGNOSIS-: It is a reversible condition. If it is treated , pulp will return back to its normal status. If it is left untreated , it will not return back to its normal status but it will enter the next phase.... ACUTE PROGRESSIVE PULPITIS : ACUTE PROGRESSIVE PULPITIS Slide 20: CLINICAL FEATURES: - Duration : - more than 10-15 minutes, severe and continuous, especially at night Precipitating factors of pain : - spontaneously as well as hot and cold agents Nature of pain : - Throbbing continuous and radiating pain The pain does not stop even when precipitating factors are removed. Slide 21: PROGNOSIS: - If it is left untreated, it will change to chronic pulpitis or pulp necrosis CHRONIC PULPITIS : CHRONIC PULPITIS Slide 26: It is a chronic inflammation of pulp tissue characterized by specific clinical features. CLINICAL FEATURES: - Signs and symptoms: - painful Duration: - long duration (few days to months). Slide 27: Precipitating factors of pain: - hot, cold agents and during biting. Nature of pain: - Mild and intermittent pain The pain stops when precipitating factors are relieved and when the tooth is treated Slide 28: The pain depends on: - The size of exposed pulp (size of dental caries) Severity of pulp inflammation Age of patient Nature of covering dentin HISTOPATHOLOGICAL FEATURES: - : HISTOPATHOLOGICAL FEATURES: - The pulp tissue contains dilated blood vessels with varying sizes. Degenerated odontoblasts seen. Areas of chronic inflammatory cells and fibrosis can be seen around inflamed areas Slide 30: PROGNOSIS: - It is dependant on the success of pulp capping. CHRONIC OPEN HYPERPLASTIC PULPITIS( Pulp Polyp ) : CHRONIC OPEN HYPERPLASTIC PULPITIS( Pulp Polyp ) Slide 32: It is a chronic inflammation of pulp tissue characterized by hyperplasia of connective tissue of pulp in the form of polypoid mass which originates from exposed pulp chamber Slide 33: CLINICAL FEATURES : - Site: A grossly carious molar (permanent/deciduous) where pulp chambers are wide, having multiple roots with highly vascular pulp tissue Shape : nodular fungated mass fills pulp chamber Slide 34: Size : variable Colour : reddish, bleeds readily Covering surface : intact or ulcerated HISTOLOGICAL FEATURES: - : HISTOLOGICAL FEATURES: - Mass consists of proliferation of granulation tissue with newly formed, dilated blood vessels of varying sizes, chronic inflammatory cells and fibrosis Generalized degenerated odontoblasts also called "Wheat Shafing" of Odontoblasts The mass is covered by hyperplastic stratified squamous epithelial surface Source of epithelial cells are from saliva or desquamated mucosa of cheeks or gingiva PULP CALCIFICATION (Pulp Stone or Denticles) : PULP CALCIFICATION (Pulp Stone or Denticles) Slide 42: It is a localized / generalized condition of pulp tissue characterized by formation of pulp stone in the form of calcified bodies CLINICAL FEATURES : - Site: coronal or radicular pulp Size: variable Signs and symptoms : painless Slide 43: RADIOGRAPHIC FEATURES: - Radiopaque mass / masses with variable sizes inside the pulp chamber or pulp canals. Slide 44: HISTOLOGICAL TYPES: - True pulp stone - consists of dentinal tubules. False pulp stone - consists of concentric calcified rings Free pulp stone - is freely located within the pulp tissue Attached pulp stone - is adherent to dentin wall Embedded pulp stone - is surrounded by secondary dentin Slide 48: COMPLICATIONS: - It interferes with root canal treatment. Can cause pain if it impinges on major pulp nerves. PULP NECROSIS : PULP NECROSIS Slide 51: It is an irreversible condition of pulp tissue characterized by dead pulp tissue and degeneration ( necrosis ) AETIOLOGY : -Severely irritant agents. CLINICAL FEATURES : - Signs and symptoms : painful Duration : 10-15 minutes, severe and short Slide 52: Precipitating factors of pain: hot and cold agents Nature of pain: Throbbing, continuous and radiating. The pain stops when precipitating factors are relieved. PERIAPICAL GRANULOMA : PERIAPICAL GRANULOMA Slide 56: It refers to a mass of chronically inflamed granulation tissue at the apex of a non vital tooth. May arise either after an acute condition like periapical abscess becomes quiet or it may arise de novo. Important – these lesions are not static and may transform into periapical cysts or undergo acute exacerbation. Slide 57: CLINICAL FEATURES: - Mostly asymptomatic. Pain & sensitivity can develop if acute exacerbation occurs. No mobility or sensitivity to percussion of involved tooth. Pulp vitality tests are negative. Slide 58: RADIOGRAPHIC FEATURES: - Lesion can be either well / ill defined. Variable sized from small to large. Loss of apical lamina dura. Root resorption is common. Cannot distinguish periapical granulomas from periapical cysts on a radiograph. Slide 59: HISTOLOGICAL FEATURES:- Lesion shows inflamed granulation tissue containing a dense lymphocytic infiltrate mixed with PMNL's, plasma cells and macrophages. Epithelial rests of Malassez may be seen within the granulation tissue. Slide 60: Cholesterol clefts may also be seen along with associated multinucleated giant cells. Areas of extravasation of RBC's and hemosiderin pigmentation is also common. RADICULAR CYST(Peripaical cyst / Apical periodontal cyst) : RADICULAR CYST(Peripaical cyst / Apical periodontal cyst) Slide 62: By definition, a radicular cyst arises from epithelial rests of Malassez located in the PDL as a result of inflammation. Often, radicular cyst remains behind in jaws after removal of infected tooth – then called RESIDUAL CYST. Slide 63: CLINICAL FEATURES: - Age incidence: peak in 3rd, 4th and 5th decades. Sex incidence: Slightly more in males. Site predilection: Maxillary anterior region. Frequency: Commonest cystic lesion of jaws. Slide 64: Signs & symptoms: Primarily symptom less. Discovered accidentally during routine dental X ray exam. Slide 65: Slowly enlarging hard bony swelling initially. Later, if cysts breaks through cortical plates, lesion becomes fluctuant. Diagnostic criteria – associated teeth are non vital Rare in deciduous teeth. Slide 66: RADIOLOGICAL FEATURES: Classically presents as round / ovoid radiolucency with sclerotic borders and associated with pulpally affected tooth / teeth. If infection supervenes, the margins become indistinct, making it impossible to distinguish it from a periapical granuloma. Slide 67: DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS: - Following lesions must be distinguished from other periapical radiolucencies– 1. Periapical granuloma 2. Peripaical cemento – osseous dysplasia (early lesions) Slide 68: PATHOGENESIS: - 1. PHASE OF INITIATION: Accepted generally that rests of Malassez included within a developing periapical granuloma proliferates to form the lining of radicular cyst. How these cells are stimulated is not clear. Some product of non vital pulp can be responsible which simultaneously evokes an inflammatory response in CT. Immune factors also held responsible as plenty of plasma cells are seen in a periapical granuloma. Slide 69: 2.PHASE OF CYST FORMATION: Can occur in two possible ways. One theory states that epithelium proliferates and covers the bare CT surface of the abscess cavity. Another theory – cyst cavity forms within proliferating epithelium as the cells in center move away from their nutrient source. Prepared by Dr Sundeep S Bhagwath Slide 70: 3. PHASE OF ENLARGEMENT: - Enlargement occurs by collection of fluid within the lumen of the cyst. Osmosis plays an important role here as the cyst wall appears to have the properties of a semi permeable membrane. Slide 71: HISTOLOGICAL FEATURES:- Lined partly / completely by non keratinized epithelium of varying thickness. Epithelium usually shows arcading around the CT. The CT wall shows inflammatory infiltrate mainly in the form of lymphocytes and plasma cells. Slide 72: Hyaline / Rushton bodies are found in epithelium and rarely in CT wall. These are curved or linear structures with eosinophilic staining properties. Slide 73: Cholesterol crystals in from of clefts are often seen in the CT wall, inciting a foreign body giant cell reaction. Originate from disintegrating RBC's in presence of inflammation. Different types of dystrophic calcification are also seen in CT wall. Slide 74: Mucus cell metaplasia as well as respiratory cells may be seen in the epithelial lining. Keratinization if found is due to metaplasia and must not be confused with an OKC. PERIAPICAL ABSCESS(Acute dentoalveolar abscess) : PERIAPICAL ABSCESS(Acute dentoalveolar abscess) Slide 76: Collection of acute inflammatory cells at the apex of a non vital tooth is called periapical abscess. Acute lesions may arise either as in initial pathosis or as an acute exacerbation of a chronic periapical pathology (Phoenix abscess). Slide 77: CLINICAL FEATURES:- Initial stages – tenderness of affected tooth. Later – pain becomes intense, with extreme sensitivity to percussion. Extrusion of tooth in its socket. Systemic findings – fever, malaise, chills. Slide 78: Abscess may spread along path of least resistance through medullary spaces resulting in Osteomyelitis. Can also perforate cortical bone and spread to soft tissues – Cellulitis. It can also drain through an intraoral sinus tract. Opening of such a tract is usually covered by a granulation tissue – Parulis. Slide 79: Periapical abscesses may also channelize through the overlying skin and drain via a Cutaneous sinus. If an abscess begins to drain, it becomes asymptomatic due to lack of collection of pus within the cavity. Slide 80: RADIOGRAPHIC FEATURES: - In initial stages – thickening of periodontal ligaments. Later – ill defined radiolucency. Slide 81: HISTOLOGICAL FEATURES: - Microscopic sections are not usually made as specimen is fluid. Abscess contains abundant PMNL's mixed with inflammatory exudate, cellular debris and histiocytes. Phoenix abscesses may also contain soft tissue component comprising of granulation tissue mixed with areas of abscess CELLULITIS : CELLULITIS Slide 83: It is a rapidly spreading inflammation of the soft tissues characterized by diffuse pus formation. This happens if an abscess is not able to establish drainage through the skin surface or into oral cavity. Slide 84: TYPES: - Cellulitis arising from dental infection and spreading through soft tissues of head and neck can take various forms. Mostly, infection spreads through tissue spaces like canine space, infratemporal space, pharyngeal space, buccal space, submental and submandibular space etc. Slide 85: Two especially dangerous forms of cellulitis are – - Ludwig's angina - Cavernous sinus thrombosis Slide 86: Canine space infection Infection involving multiple spaces LUDWIG'S ANGINA : LUDWIG'S ANGINA Cellulitis of submandibular region involving sublingual, submandibular and submental spaces. In 70% cases develops from spread of infection from mandibular teeth. Increased prevalence in immunocompromised patients like AIDS, aplastic anemia, organ transplantation etc. Slide 88: CLINICAL FEATURES: - After reaching submandibular region, infection extends to lateral pharyngeal and retropharyngeal spaces. LA causes massive swelling of neck extending close to clavicles. There is posterior enlargement and protrusion of tongue. Pain in neck and floor of mouth. Slide 89: Other symptoms – dysphagia, dysphonia, drooling and sore throat. Lateral pharyngeal space involvement may cause respiratory obstruction due to laryngeal edema. In sever cases – tachypnea, dyspnea, tachycardia, stridor may also be noted. General signs – fever, malaise, leukocytosis, and raised ESR. CAVERNOUS SINUS THROMBOSIS : CAVERNOUS SINUS THROMBOSIS Occurs when infection from maxillary premolars / molars perforates buccal cortical plate and enters maxillary sinus, pterygopalatine space or infratemporal space and reaches the orbit. From here, infection enters cavernous sinus through cranial vault. Slide 91: CLINICAL FEATURES: - Periorbital edema including lateral border of nose, protrusion and fixation of eyeball. Pupil dilatation, lacrimation, photophobia and loss of vision may also occur. Pain along distribution of ophthalmic and maxillary branches of Vth cranial nerve. Proptosis, chemosis and ptosis seen in 90% cases. Fever, chills, headache, sweating, tachycardia, nausea and vomiting also occur. OSTEOMYELITIS : OSTEOMYELITIS Slide 93: Refers to acute / chronic inflammatory process in medullary spaces or cortical surfaces of bones. Various patterns recognized like focal and diffuse sclerosing, proliferative periostitis etc. Slide 94: TYPES OF OSTEOMYELITIS: - Acute osteomyelitis Chronic osteomyelitis Diffuse sclerosing osteomyelitis Condensing osteitis (Focal sclerosing osteomyelitis) Osteomyelitis with proliferative periostitis. Alveolar osteitis Slide 95: PREDISPOSING FACTORS: - After odontogenic infections Trauma to jaws Presence of ANUG Chronic systemic diseases Immunocompromised states Tobacco and alcohol abuse Diabetes mellitus Exanthematous fevers Malignancy Malnutrition ACUTE OSTEOMYELITIS : ACUTE OSTEOMYELITIS Acute osteomyelitis occurs when acute inflammation spreads through medullary spaces of bone. CLINICAL FEATURES: - Age incidence: Any age Sex incidence: Strong male predilection Site predilection: Mostly in mandible. Maxilla is involved primarily in children. Slide 97: Signs & symptoms: Fever, leukocytosis, lymphadenopathy and soft tissue swelling of affected area. X-rays can show an ill defined radiolucency. Occasionally, fragments of necrotic bone can be seen separating from surrounding normal bone – Sequestrum. If sequestrum is surrounded by vital bone – Involucrum. Slide 98: HISTOLOGICAL FEATURES: - Biopsy specimen usually contains necrotic bone, showing loss of osteocytes from lacunae and bacterial colonization. Bone periphery shows necrotic debris and infiltration with PMNL's. Specimen diagnosed as sequestrum unless there is good clinico-pathologic correlation. CHRONIC OSTEOMYELITIS : CHRONIC OSTEOMYELITIS It can arise either de novo from the onset or as a continuation of acute osteomyelitis, if it is not resolved quickly. CLINICAL FEATURES: - Age incidence: Any age Sex incidence: Strong male predilection Site predilection: Mostly in mandible. Slide 100: Signs & symptoms: Pain, swelling, purulent discharge, sinus formation, sequestrum formation, tooth loss. Frequent acute exacerbations may occur if infection continues for a long time. X-rays reveal ill defined, moth eaten radiolucency often showing a central radiopacity (sequestrum). Slide 101: HISTOLOGICAL FEATURES: Biopsy material contains significant soft tissue component consisting of chronically inflamed fibrous CT filling intertrabecular areas of bone. Scattered areas of sequestrum may also be noted. DIFFUSE SCLEROSING OSTEOMYELITIS : DIFFUSE SCLEROSING OSTEOMYELITIS Characterized by pain, inflammation, varying degrees of periosteal hyperplasia, sclerosis and radiolucency of affected bone. Can be confused clinically and radiologically with certain other intrabony pathoses like florid cemento-osseous dysplasia or Paget's disease of bone etc. Slide 103: CLINICAL FEATURES: - Age incidence: Almost exclusively in adults. Sex incidence: Nil Site predilection: Primarily in mandible Signs & symptoms: Pain and swelling are uncommon. To make a definitive diagnosis of diffuse sclerosing osteomyelitis, microbiological cultures must be positive. Slide 104: RADIOGRAPHIC FEATURES: - Increased radiopacity around sites of chronic inflammation like periodontitis, pericoronitis, periapical pathology etc. Sclerosis occurs more in alveolar crest regions of tooth bearing areas. Slide 105: HISTOLOGICAL FEATURES:- Sclerosis and remodeling of bone. Significant inflammation of bone is not seen even though sclerosis occurs adjacent to inflammation. Necrosis of sclerotic bone secondary to inflammation may occur. In this case, necrotic bone separates and is surrounded by granulation tissue FOCAL SCLEROSING OSTEOMYELITIS(Condensing osteitis) : FOCAL SCLEROSING OSTEOMYELITIS(Condensing osteitis) This refers to a focal area of bone sclerosis associated with apices of pulpally involved (caries, deep restorations or pulp necrosis) teeth. To be diagnosed as condensing osteitis, association with inflammation is essential, as it resembles several other intrabony pathoses. Slide 107: CLINICAL FEATURES: - Occurs mostly in children and young adults. Mostly occurs in mandibular premolar/molar area, associated with pulpitis / pulp necrosis. Localized, uniform zone of increased radiopacity seen adjacent to tooth apex. No swelling / cortical expansion noted clinically. Slide 108: DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS: - This lesion must be distinguished from Focal cemento osseous dysplasia – it shows a radiolucent border. Idiopathic osteosclerosis – here, the lesion is separated from the tooth apex. OSTEOMYELITIS WITH PROLIFERATIVE PERIOSTITIS : OSTEOMYELITIS WITH PROLIFERATIVE PERIOSTITIS Also called Periostitis ossificans or Garrѐ's Osteomyelitis. It is a type of osteomyelitis associated with periosteal bone formation. Slide 110: CLINICAL FEATURES: - Age incidence: Children & young adults Sex incidence: Nil Site predilection: Mostly in premolar/ molar regions of mandible. Slide 111: Signs & symptoms: Swelling may be noted on lower border of mandible. Pain may / may not be present. Radiographs demonstrate radiopaque laminations roughly parallel to each other and the underlying cortical surface (onion skin appearance). Slide 112: HISTOLOGICAL FEATURES: Shows parallel rows of higly cellular, woven bone in which the individual trabeculae are oriented perpendicular to surface. Sometimes, trabeculae are interconnected or they may be scattered, resembling fibrous dysplasia. In between trabeculae, fibrous CT is relatively non inflamed. ALVEOLAR OSTEITIS(Dry socket / Fibrinolytic alveolitis) : ALVEOLAR OSTEITIS(Dry socket / Fibrinolytic alveolitis) Sometimes, the blood clot at the extraction site fails to organize which eventually leads to delayed healing and causes a condition called "Dry socket". Research shows it is due to transformation of plasminogen to plasmin with resultant lysis of fibrin and formation of kinin (pain mediators). Slide 114: PREDISPOSING FACTORS: - Local trauma Estrogens Bacterial toxins Inadequate irrigation of surgery site Tobacco abuse. Slide 115: CLINICAL FEATURES: - Age incidence: Between 20 – 40 years Sex incidence: Nil Site predilection: Posterior mandibular teeth, especially impacted third molars. Slide 116: Signs & symptoms: Affected extraction site filled with a dirty gray clot, which is lost, leaving behind a bare, bony socket (Dry socket). Diagnosis is confirmed by probing of socket which shows an exposed and extremely sensitive bone. Severe pain, foul smell and lymphadenopathy develop within 3 – 4 days of extraction.

The nearly 80 research institutes of the Max Planck Society conduct basic research in the interest of the general public in the natural sciences, life sciences, social sciences, and the arts and humanities. They have a total staff of approx. 13,000 permanent employees, including 4,700 scientists, plus around 11,000 non-tenured scientists and guests. Their budget for 2006 was about €1.4 billion, with 84% from state and federal funds.
Type for the Offer
Young Researchers
10 Doctoral Fellowships
Job Offer from October 04, 2012
The International Max Planck Research School (IMPRS) for Neural Circuits was funded in 2011 by the Max Planck Society and offers ten positions every year for talented students holding a relevant Master´s or Bachelor´s degree to perform research resulting in a PhD. The program is taught in English.
Research focus
The common focus of the IMPRS for Neural Circuits will be the understanding of neural circuits (from the simple to the large and complex), at all scales required to achieve this understanding. This ambitious objective will require analyses at the molecular, cellular, multi-cellular, network and behavioral levels, with the full understanding that macroscopic phenomena (spatial patterns, dynamics) can be scale-dependent, and that reductionism is not always sufficient as a method.
Our offer
In the IMPRS for Neural Circuits we offer a multidisciplinary program to excellent doctoral students with backgrounds in neuroscience, mathematics, physics,computer science, (bio) chemistry, biology and medicine as well as research experience in the participating institutions of the Frankfurt Neuroscience community. Students will participate in a tailor-made educational program including research rotations and neuroscience courses but also in trainings in transferable skills as well as summer schools, lecture series and exchange programs with excellent research institutes abroad.
Your application
We welcome excellent students to apply to the program. Till January 15, 2013, it will be possible to apply for a position starting in the Fall of 2013. You can apply via our electronic registration system. After the deadline, the Faculty members will select around 25 students to participate in the interview symposium in Frankfurt, taking place on March 18 and 19, 2013. Shortly after the symposium, the students will receive a letter with an offer or rejection.
More information can be found on our website www.imprs.brain.mpg.de. Please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com if you have more specific questions.

|A CDC study found that 9/10 American kids eat too much salt.

As young students across the country head back to school this month, parents and guardians should be mindful about what they are packing in school lunches, and cooking at home for dinner. According to a new report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), an astonishing nine out of 10 American kids eat more salt than they should, which raises their lifetime risk of high blood pressure and heart disease.
Many grown adults have a complicated relationship with salt. Home cooking encourages the use of spices and seasonings when preparing meals with local, nutritious ingredients, but many Americans don't have the time or the budget to cook every meal from scratch. Chips, packaged snacks, and ready-to-make meals like frozen pizza and boxed macaroni and cheese are affordable for larger families and fast and easy to make. Unfortunately, they are also loaded with sodium and processed ingredients.
I've talked before about my own personal experiences unpeeling myself from the processed food salt craze. Moving away from packaged food and cooking more at home can be a hassle—especially if you're not used to it—and sometimes our palates take a while to adjust to less salt. In my experience, though, once my body did adjust to less salt, I stopped feeling like it needed to be added. Nowadays, I only infrequently use salt while cooking – and really only a dash or two when I do decide to use it.
But I didn't make the choice to use less salt—in fact, I didn't even think about it until we just had to cut it out of the family diet because of my dad's health issues. Many adults and children don't realize just how prevalent salt is in the foods we eat—and it's becoming a huge problem.
Based on the CDC's findings, about 43 percent of the salt ingested by children comes from the ten foods they eat most often. According to WebMD, "these foods include pizza, bread and rolls, cold cuts and cured meats, savory snacks, sandwiches, cheese, chicken patties and nuggets, pasta dishes, Mexican dishes, and soups." For busy families, many of these foods are ideal because they are appealing to children and easy to make.
One of the most important takeaways from the CDC study is that the high ingestion of salt a child can affect health later on.
Explains Dr. Erica Brody, "Though kids do not have the same short-term risks from high-salt diets that adults do, as with all aspects of childhood nutrition, the foods our children eat now affect the choices they will go on to make as adults." Dr. Brody works in the department of pediatrics at the Kravis Children's Hospital at Mt. Sinai in New York. Named for prominent hospital donor Henry R. Kravis, the Children's Hospital is ranked among the top medical institutions in the world.
Dr. Brody and many other childhood nutrition specialists, including CDC Deputy Principal Directory Ileana Arias, agree that it is vital for young people to start learning about healthy, nourishing foods early, to prevent bad habits down the road. "This includes excessive sugars, fats, and, of course, salt as well," Dr. Brody says, of the unhealthy ingredients that are heavily marketed towards children.
Sarah Sproule, artisan salt maker and owner of Urban Sproule in NYC recently told Kinfolk, "Now we see convenience food companies […] loading their chips and crackers with enough salt to make them shelf-stable for years. People are concerned about salt intake—I like to call it the "sodium craze." But health conditions related to sodium intake haven't come out of garnishing with your favorite artisanal flake salt: They've come from consuming packaged foods loaded with overly processed sodium," of the difference between garnishing meals at home with salt and exclusively eating heavily salted, processed foods. Arias agrees, noting that families can serve more fresh fruits and vegetables and by preparing foods that contain less salt, rather than opting for ready-made meals like pizza, when possible.

In a comment on GitHub the question was asked why one should care about IPFS and the integration of the technology into Nix. I want to answer this question with this blog post.
First of all, let me rephrase the question to a "Why should we care about IPFS?" instead of "Why should I care?" since this question concerns all users of the very centralized inter-net. That also includes users and developers of Nix(OS).

Howlite is a stone that looks like ancient bleached bones. In fact, it can help absorb calcium and strengthen teeth and bones, yet its bone-like appearance can connect us to the bones of our previous lives.
While many people will tell you tales of previous lives at King Arthur's court or their life as Egyptian royalty, howlite helps us to remembers past lives and maybe it will tell you of your previous life of fox, owl or even a great elk. This set feature a wonderfully gnarly antler tip from a wildcrafted naturally shed White-tailed deer antler, maybe you might remember a previous life as deer? Surely all our previous lives weren't human and for those lives that were human who is to say that they were lived out on planet Earth!
Priestess Zhann from the show TV Farscape
Howlite also offers us qualities of soothing our emotions whether that be anger or stress. It calms an overactive mind and howlite prayer beads are particularly useful in meditating with before sleep to help calm your mind if it often races with worries which keep you awake. It is a stone beneficial in recalling information – wither it's the past lives we mentioned earlier but if you're like me and have trouble remembering your dreams, howlite can help recall that wisdom that came to us when sleeping.

Apricot-Chocolate Chip Granola Bars
These might be the best granola bar recipe I've tried. They don't contain peanut butter at all (yay, Faith hates PB) and there is no added sugar, they are sweetened with honey and whatever filler you choose to use. We opted for dried apricots and chocolate chips this time. In the past, we've used dried apples and cinnamon, dried blueberries and strawberries, dried cherries and chocolate chips, probably some other combos I can't think of.
Homemade Granola Bars:
3 1/4 cups rolled Oats (or combination of oats and other whole grains)
3/4 cups Whole Wheat flour (or all-purpose)
3/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 T. Vanilla Extract
1/4 cup vegetable oil (I used canola)
1/2 cup honey, at least
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 1/2 cups "Stuff" (I used about a cup or so of chopped dried apricots and a 1/2 cup of chocolate chips)
Preheat oven to 325.
In a large mixing bowl combine oats, flour, baking soda, and any spices you want to use.
In a separate bowl, combine vanilla, oil, and honey.
Pour wet mix into dry and stir to combine.
Stir in the "stuff" you want to use.
Spray an edged cookie sheet or pan with cooking spray and press VERY firmly into cookie sheet. (I used a 7x11 pan that was perfect for this).
Bake at 325 for 18-20 minutes until top is turning golden brown.
Remove from oven and firmly press down bars again with a spatula or similar, and allow to cool for 10-15 minutes.
Cut into bars--they are hard to cut if you allow it to completely cool.
Allow to finish cooling completely before removing from pan.
Two notes:
1. Press the bars firmly down in the pan with the flat edge of a spatula before baking. Do this again after baking, and once more before you cut it. If they aren't packed down, they will crumble.
2. Regarding the honey, start with the 1/2 cup. If the mixture seems too crumbly, keep adding honey by the teaspoon. The amount needed seems to depend on the fillings. The chocolate chips melt a bit, which seems to require less honey, whereas the apple-cinnamon ones seemed to require more, based on the dryness of the cinnamon.

Hi! I'm your newest follower from The Homeschool Lounge in the Blogging Basics group. I have a very new blog for our homeschool adventure and have no followers so I was trying to see what all of you veterans have to offer in the way of advice. I am running down the roll and saw yours...this recipe sounds absolutely delicious...I am going to copy it to my recipe file right now.ReplyDelete
Yum! I've only done granola once and felt there was way to much sugar involved! These look and sound great!ReplyDelete
Would love for you to share at Calling All Crafters!
I just made my first batch. I copied your idea of apricots and chocolate chips and then added slivered almonds (they kind of got lost) and flax meal. They are amazing! Way better then store bought and so much for healthy! And so easy to make too. Only next time I'll probably do a double batch because they are going to be gone too fast! Thank you so much for sharing! I love your blogs!ReplyDelete

South Korean pop-star Psy can't stop, won't stop. The 34-year-old dancer, singer, rapper, did I mention dancer?, was on hand at the Grove in L.A. yesterday paying a visit to masterminds Maria Menounos and Mario Lopez on the set of Extra when he got a little surprise. While teaching Maria/o to do the Gangnam Style, he was suddenly whisked away into the crowd where, unbeknownst to Psy, a bunch of people were waiting to show of their dance moves, as well. It was a flash mob, and Psy was totally swept up in a sea of strangers doing their best horse-riding impressions. Watch:
The fact that so many people were a part of this flash mob shows just how popular Psy is becoming. He's gaining fans by the minute because, come on, who doesn't love a pudgy guy in a blue sweater vest rapping in Korean?
Psy is the antithesis of what we've been programmed to idolize in our celebrities -- he's not especially good looking, nor buff, nor stylish -- but his charm, charisma, and fun-loving attitude have drawn us in. Psy's like the new Snooki, only with talent. Both represent the complete opposite of an Angelina Jolie or a Kate Middleton or a George Clooney, yet we can't seem to turn them away. Psy's got staying power.
Can't wait to see what he does next.
What do you think about Psy?

I just have to say my husband is amazing. Not because he gave me a pain-free trigger shot this morning at 2AM, which by the way was a whole better than the Super Nice Doctor Gal but because he just my best friend!
(Oh i have to tell you what I did.....I went to the pharmacy where I get my daily injections, and I had Super Nice Doctor Gal mark my b.u.t.t. with a pen...she drew a square in pen so DH would know exactly where to inject me....when he saw it, he said man, that was a good idea... it was. )
Ok..... I know so many of you too, dealing with this wonderful infertility we've been dealt, have great supporting spouses too. We are lucky indeed ladies....
Doesn't it just make it all the more easier? Not easier I guess, but at least we have the strong support of that one person who is so close to us and who too, is experiencing infertility first hand.
Do any of you ever feel bad for your husbands? (This is probably a statement that a shrink would analyze and have lots to tell me about myself) But sometimes, I just feel so guilty. I know its not my fault that I can't seem to get pregnant, but he is so darn patient and so supportive and sometimes I just think, "what if he married someone else and had a wife who could get pregnant, and didn't have to deal with this shit we have been dealing with for 10 years now...."
Then, I smack myself and know that those thoughts are wrong. Our being brought together was SO from God, big, big time. We have weathered tons of stuff , he has been so forgiving and patient with me, and in the end it has made us both so much stronger and the made us the people we are today. And you know what I am good with that. Baby would be great though.... LOL.
Anyway, just rambling here, but am feelng really good about this, this time.
We are planning a blastocyst transfer for Thursday as I said before. Not sure yet how many they will replace, we'll see I guess how many eggs they get tomorrow and then how many embabies are created.
Looking forward to retrieval tomorrow actually. For us, its a really special day for more than one reason actually. Its a spiritual reason and we are really optimistic that God Will Grant us our most asked for supplication, of course that being a healthy baby.
So my dear friends, I love you all and have a great day wherever you are. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your warm wishes, prayers and thoughtful commments. I so love that I have "met" all of you and you guys mean so much to me!
Hey when we have our baby, I'll have a big party and want you all to come to Cairo, ok? We can take the baby with us sightseeing and stuff....wouldn't that be a blast? I wish i could buy you all tickets to come, really I do! xoxoxoxoxo

Pain free and he's da man!

I just wrote an entry on how I am blessed to have a husband who is caring and understanding and who stands by my side no matter what. We are truly blessed right?ReplyDelete
Me and hubby have always wanted to go to Egypt for a vacation. This was after we had a wonderful time at Turkey 2 years ago. So if you are going to have that party do extend your invitation to us ok... (Shameless me!!!) YOu dont have to pay for my tickets. I will pay for it myself. Hehehe...
Sounds like you have a wonderful husband who you totally deserve, my friend. I have good feelings about this cycle for you!ReplyDelete
I'm praying, girl!!! So exciting!ReplyDelete
I would love to come celebrate in Cairo! :)
I'm so glad you are triggered up and ready to go. I hope all goes great with your retrieval and can't wait to hear all about it!!ReplyDelete
I have had those same thoughts about "what if he were with someone else?" It's hard when we feel like it is only our problem getting pregnant. Truth is, I know they would take us over some random fertile myrtle any day of the week!!
Party in Cairo!! I am so there. LOL. (-;
just wanted to wish you all the best with this cycle!ReplyDelete
Yes, you are correct. Having a supportive spouse is such a boon! Although issues change from relationship to relationship, when the cause of infertility gets fixed on a particular partner. But when you are as lucky as us, when the doc says, we don't know what is so darn wrong with any of you, life does get easier. (See, I can ramble too).ReplyDelete
And all the best for that transfer!
And I am not really thinking too much about what I am writing, especially in the first part of the message. Burp!ReplyDelete
Glad you have such a rock to lean on. It is invaluable, I know. Looking forward to the retreival and beyond! I'm excited for you.ReplyDelete
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE comments! To me its like getting a present from a mystery person, ok well some of you are not such a mystery... but u feel me. You can subscribe to my updates via email or in your feeder of choice. Thanks so much for stopping by!
