Larger than life
Bal Thackeray's story and the Sena's. Ranjitt C Khomne writes.books Updated: Mar 04, 2013 12:49 IST
Bal Thackeray & The Rise of the Shiv Sena
Vaibhav Purandare
Roli Books
Rs 350 pp 288
The Shiv Sena has inspired awe and been accused of intimidation. Much of this is thanks to the larger-than-life image of its late chief Bal Thackeray. Often derided as a group comprising misguided youngsters, the Shiv Sena did once come to power in Maharashtra in 1994.
It has also been in the saddle in the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation, one of the largest civic bodies in Asia, for several years now. How did Thackeray, a cartoonist at the Free Press Journal, manage to achieve what he did? Vaibhav Purandare's well-researched book provides the answers to these questions with the help of facts, figures, statistics and quotes from both, the Sena's friends and foes.
The book cites the work of researchers and authors like Mary Katzenstein, DK Lakdawala, VS Naipaul, Dipankar Gupta and others to show how the Sena's work in the slums and its ambulance service especially endeared it to people and highlights how Marathi natives did actually occupy proportionately fewer jobs when Thackeray took up the issue. It also cites several cases when the Sena didn't cast the first stone, literally or metaphorically.
For instance, it was the sudden refusal of cinema houses in Chennai to screen Hindi films in 1968 that gave Thackeray the chance to exploit the issue in Mumbai. Purandare also examines how the provocative statements of leaders like YB Chavan, the first CM of the state, who called Nehru greater than Maharashtra and opposed the idea of a unified Maharashtra with Mumbai as its capital, helped the Sena strengthen its struggle.
It's interesting to note that the same Thackeray could address a poll rally for Congressman AR Antulay and get rivals George Fernandes and Sharad Pawar to join him in lambasting the Congress from Shivaji Park! Even while he did this, he was all praise for Indira Gandhi's Emergency.
As PM, she had described the Shiv Sena as a 'threat to the unity and progress of the country' but when she died, Thackeray called her a 'jewel on earth, a gift of gods, a Maha-maata!' The book notes that Thackeray had acquired cult status in Maharashtra as was clear from the millions who gathered for his funeral -- an honour that only BG Tilak and BR Ambedkar were accorded during their last journey.
If Thackeray was hero worshipped by followers, he was also a hate figure for many. But whatever their feelings, no one could ignore him for the impact he had on Mumbai, Maharashtra and the Centre. The book neither glorifies nor condemns Bal Thackeray. It demystifies him and the Shiv Sena. This makes it a book that, like its subject, cannot be ignored.

The initial issue of the namespace was on 2007-06-01.
On 1/14/2008 the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative announced "a set of editorial revisions to terms in the set of DCMI Metadata Terms", to synchronize syntax with their Abstract Model (DCAM). In the words of the late Lane Kirkland's late dad; "Never bet your bladder against the brewery and never argue with people who buy ink by the barrel.". That would be Editorial Boards. The RUSTPrivacy.org Marketing Department remains commited to offering the latest innovations, and everybody else will try like heck to keep their heads above the ink; brewer cooperation withstanding.
This document reflects DCMI usage as of 2008-01-14. Additional clarifications to the domain and range of elements in the namespace were added 2008-04-01 along with a formal accrual policy for new elements.
On 2008-06-18 the [aka] element was modified to have a range of Agent. This is the (reflective) identity element of the name space - as a token in a reference to a Bibliographic Resource, it replaces "any name for self". This is a major change and a new version for the [aka] element. For example, the text:"Ben Franklin, writing as Poor Richard, ...", means both 1) "Ben Franklin, writing as [aka], ..." and 2) [aka], writing as Poor Richard, ...", but also 3) "[aka], writing as [aka], ...". While a reference to a Bibliographic Resource need not be fully anonymous (3), care should be taken that only one name is telegraphed (1,2).
It was pointed out that all of the elements, of type rdf:Class, should start with a Capital Letter. Unfortunately all the elements were and are, rdf:Properties. This mistake has been rectified. The parties responsible; forced to subsist on Beer, Pizza and Cigarettes; are quite unaware they are being punished.
On 2008-08-08 the [image] element was added. This is an instance of [rdfs:range] <http://purl.org/dc/terms/Image> class, with the additional constraint that the Image, whatever form it takes, must identify at least one person, that is, it must contain Personally Identifiable Information.
|http://purl.org/pii/terms/[any term]
HTML4 definition of the anchor tag rel attribute. This link points forward from the data (anchor) to term in the class of data (i.e. a term in the namespace).
HTML4 definition of the anchor tag rev attribute. This link arcs backwards from the elements, list of valid terms, in the namespace to a specific instance of document data content, provided such an arc logically exists. In HTML, a "@rev" relation in the PII Name Space exists when the link identifies a person. Just because there is an anchor does not mean there is an arc to an identifying element, and this is never more true than in the case of PII - the "dots" are hardly to blame when they lack a connection.
<http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml#term>. What we actually mean is:
http://purl.org/dc/terms/DCMIType. Other (registered) DCMI Vocabularies - DCMIType, DDC, IMT, LCC, LCSH, MESH, NLM, TGN, UDC - can be used in the body of XHTML documents with the same syntax (as an anchor "title" attribute). However, GRDDL transforms should be "smart" enough to validate the "terms" from the glossary URI so that the "title" attribute is not restricted to a small range of "registered" acronyms for Vocabulary Encoding Schemes.
http://purl.org/dc/terms/BibliographicResource. Accurate resource descriptions depend upon isolation of the resource. In the case of PII, the meta data must have been visible and bounded at some point in the document being described. This is the <rdfs:domain> of the scheme, meaning that ever member element resides in this domain - is a member of the class <dcterms:BibliographicResource>.

Along with the arrival of summer comes a number of Music Festivals to the Cowichan Valley. This year we were delighted to have Murray McLauchlan – a headliner for The Island Folk Fest 2014 at Providence Farm – come stay with us for the weekend. In addition to his performances at the Folk Festival, we were honoured to have him perform a private concert at Affinity on the Sunday evening with all proceeds going to Providence Farm. Murray, one of Canada's most influential songwriters, entertained the evening's guests with some of his most popular songs including the Farmer Song and Down by the Henry Moore. In addition to his musical skills, Murray's storytelling skills captivated the audience as he wove 5-10 minute narratives leading up and into each song. The unplugged guitar, grand piano, harmonica and direct crowd interaction in the Affinity lower lounge area enhanced the atmosphere for this intimate gathering. We thank you Murray for such a wonderful evening. In addition, we also thank Katie and John Ehrlich of the Alderlea Café for providing us with the delicious canapés served throughout the evening.
Affinity Guesthouse would like to congratulate Dayna and Thomas who held their wedding and reception at The Affinity Guesthouse several weeks ago. To quote the mother of the bride "The use of the property for the wedding was perfect in every way. Although the weather could have been sunnier, we made the most and continued with our plans, including the campers…… you were extremely helpful and pleasant to deal with. I will definitely recommend Affinity Guest House for anyone planning a wedding." We wish you two the very best as you begin this new chapter of your lives together. Remember….The Joy is In The Journey! Enjoy!

The few people who read this blog know that I love Pierce Brown's "Red Rising" series. And if you're new, just check here and here. Unfortunately, I missed him last year at Phoenix Comicon, when he was just an up-and-coming YA author promoting his debut novel.
Since then he's won the Goodreads Award for Best Debut Author and topped dozens of best-of lists. So I'm seriously jazzed that he's coming back this year.
If you are unfamiliar with Brown, he is the author of the bestselling Red Rising and its sequel, Golden Son, which follow Darrow, a slave on Mars who is genetically modified and trained to lead a revolution.
They are two of the best sci-fi novels to come out in the past year, are being hailed as the next big YA series, have sparked a Hollywood bidding war and generally just been awesome.
And he's coming back to Phoenix.
So all you Sons of Ares, come on out to see one of the hottest new names in sci-fi and YA lit. It's gonna be gorydamn epic.
— Michael Senft

As a mother of four and grandmother to twelve, it was my children and grandchildren's love of their "blankies" that inspired me to create Goochie Goo Garbs, LLC. I wanted to create a luxuriously soft keepsake blanket that was pretty and practical. Hence, Goochie Goo Garbs was born!
After selling wholesale to brick and mortar boutiques throughout the USA, and working with sales reps and showrooms for several years, we decided it was time to create a retail anchor store here in our home town of Scottsdale, Arizona where we could show off our complete line of Goochie Goo Garbs and utilize all of our wonderful local resources. We can now offer our customers personalization with monograming, custom-order blankets and throws and even fun photo op events with one of the valley's favorite children's photographer, Jamie Pogue of Pogue Photography.

Photography: A Cultural History, 4th Edition by Mary Warner Marien, published by Laurence King Publishing.
I have just finished reading Photography: A Cultural History that I began reading back in late May and have finally finished reading today. This book was very dry for me and I had to interrupt reading it by reading about four other books in the meantime. However, I have persevered and finished it. To be fair it is a good book all the same, as it tells a good comprehensive history of photography from conception to present day. This book explaining the influences from art, politics and national cultures that has shaped photographic practices throughout the world from the 1830's to present day with details on photographers / artist with examples of their work that have been of influence.
Certainly a must read book for any photography student and I do now have a better understanding of Surrealism, Modernism, Postmodernism, etc. than I did before.

This review is just based on July 2010 situation, when Opera Mini 5.0 final and BOLT 2.1 are released, UC Browser (UCWEB) version 7.2 is officially released as well. All this comparison is based on my own experience. The purpose is to introduce you the alternative choice for mobile internet surfing
Scale used (points)
1. Feature is missing.
2. Feature exists but implementation is poor.
3. Implementation of the feature is adequate.
4. Feature is well implemented, aka it's good.
5. Implementation of the feature is excellent
OS Supported
- Bolt 2p
- Opera Mini 4p
- UC Browser 3p
Bolt is a Java ME based mobile browser, its rendering and processing is restricted by the Java MIDP 2, especially in Symbian and WM OS. Except Java based version, Opera mini could support Blackberry/Windows mobile/Android. To UC Browser, exclude the generic Java version, the dedicated Symbian/Blackberry/Windows mobile/iPhone/Android version is all available
But is it too much and complex for the user to download? Whatever, more choice is better.
Speed and traffic cost
- Bolt 4p
- Opera Mini 4.5p
- UC Browser 5p
Opera mini and UC browser is based on proxy server-to-client architecture, the speed and traffic cost is much better than Bolt.
With the same architecture, it seems that the UC browser compressed more than Opera mini, But the high speed and less traffic UC gained is at cost of page quality loss.
Please see the rendering comparison below. At least, according to the speed and traffic volume tested , UC browser is the winner.
Bookmarks favorites
- Bolt 5p
- Opera Mini 4p
- UC Browser 4p
Here are only assessed the simplicity and efficiency how bookmarks can be arranged on client side, not the possible synchronizations tools.
Image 1: Bolt has bookmarks tab on start page. Opera Mini has speed dials and bookmarks are accessed via menu. UC Browser has separate bookmarks tab on start page.
Managing bookmarks on Bolt 2 is quite simple. Bookmarks are displayed on start page for easy access. Folders can be used, and what is best is the possibility to arrange bookmarks and folders. Therefore it is actually possible to do the same as on Opera Mini: show few "speed dials" at first and then all the rest in folders. Access is easy thanks to #0 key shortcut.
Bookmark folders are finally implemented on Opera Mini 5 as well. However, bookmarks and folders can't be arranged, but they are in alphabetical order. Access to bookmarks is under menu, so several steps (clicks or finger moves) have to be taken to use bookmarks. User can however, create nine speed dials on start page. Unfortunately only small thumb nail images are displayed for speed dials. In case you have two exactly similar speed dials for the same Web site, you can only rely on your memory to distinguish them. Using speed dials and bookmarks are made simple and easy especially for touch screen phones, but this turns into disadvantage on non-touch screen devices.
Using bookmarks on UC Browser 7.2 is somewhat similar as on Bolt 2. Bookmarks can be rearranged and organized into folders. Access to bookmarks is almost just as simple as on Bolt. The bookmark can be synchronized and backup both from/to local mobile phone and server. You could share your bookmark both by SMS and Bluetooth.
Cookie and password manager
- Bolt 5p
- Opera Mini 5p
- UC Browser 5p
Saving passwords and using cookies is possible on Bolt 2. Keeping passwords saved is very useful since some sites just does not seem to keep login cookies saved. All private information can be cleared at once.
Opera Mini 5 gives possibility to save passwords and keep the cookies, just like Bolt 2. There's separate settings to clear passwords and cookies.
There's no password manager on UC Browser 7.2 but cookies are saved. There is a option to clear the cookies as well
Download and upload manager
- Bolt 3p
- Opera Mini 4p
- UC Browser 5p
Downloading and uploading works somewhat fine on Bolt 2. No special or highlights in Bolt
Downloading and uploading files on Opera Mini 5 works as well. Currently there is some server issues because uploading fails sometimes, and it has to be started again.
Some People keep on claiming UC Browser has the best file manager on J2ME browsers. According to my experience this time, it is much better than the others.
Fast speed, resume broken downloads, maximum 9 concurrent download tasks, maximum 3 downloading tasks, manually default download folder setting, and etc…
All files downloaded even deleted are remembered in download manager, so once you re-download it again, the system will remind you so that you could save your time and traffic.
Select, copy and paste text
- Bolt 3p
- Opera Mini 4p
- UC Browser 4p
Select, copy and paste text works adequately on Bolt 2. Personally I find the Bolt's "select box" cumbersome and inaccurate.
In Opera Mini 5, complete new and improved tools to select, copy and paste text were introduced. Selecting text works almost as it does on desktop browsers. You can select and copy almost anything, and paste it exactly where you like using inline mode. Only reason why I did not give full 5 points is lack of possibility to copy link URL.
I like very much is the possibility to copy link URL. This makes it possible to copy URL without need to open the page, but what is even more important is the possibility to copy URL addresses of PDF and other closed source format files. The copied content is stored in mobile clipboard rather than browser clipboard which can allow you to send the content by SMS or Bluetooth.
Settings preferences
- Bolt 3p
- Opera Mini 5p
- UC Browser 4p
There are adequate selection of preferences on Bolt 2. Worth to mention is possibility to install fonts. Personally I find no use for it but I admit it can help making the UI more usable with proper choice of font used.
Opera Mini is full of useful settings. For some strange reason part of them are located on so called power user settings page.
There are plenty of preferences on UC Browser 7.2. Worth to mention are possibilities to change the shortcuts and choose the night theme (useful at night time).
- Bolt 4p
- Opera Mini 5p
- UC Browser 3.5p
Page rendering aka way how pages are displayed is very delicate issue and certainly a matter of personal tastes. All the comments here are certainly just my own opinions but when it comes to rendering, it's important to remind the reader about this.
Bolt 2 continues showing Web pages as true as possible. This approach has it's advantages. For example many pages and features that just does not work on any other J2ME browser works on Bolt, and looks just the same as on desktop browsers. For example here at MyOpera I can easily access all features of my photo albums. I can edit and sort photos etc. There's also rather interesting split screen view available on Bolt, which is useful sometimes. However, I personally like Opera Mini's zoom more.
Image 2: Links to album details and to sort MyOpera photos displayed on Bolt and UC Browser, but for some reason these links are missing on Opera Mini.
In case of Opera Mini 5, I must confess being just so used to the way it renders the pages. I don't care if pages are not always showed exactly as they are on PC browsers. Usability is the most important issue for me and if the Web site provides a page that looks nice and is easy to use, then I really don't care if mobile site is different than users on PC can see. Many Web sites have finally started to understand how important it is to offer all the same features for all users, no matter what device they use. It is perfectly acceptable to give different content for mobile phone users, but it just should never be something less or limited compared to desktop browsers. Opera Mini 5 shows pages as I want to see them and that's all I have to care.
Rendering on UC Browser is not so good as opera mini. But I still have to say it's adequate, because at least they tried to offer a sort of desktop view. Their default setting is page view which is more fit able for the mobile with small-sized screen. In desktop view, many pages I use just looks not so good as opera mini. But on normal mode many pages are much better.
Save page
- Bolt 3p
- Opera Mini 3p
- UC Browser 4p
Save page works just fine on Bolt 2 and it's easy to access saved pages on start page.
Save page feature works fine also on Opera Mini 5. It's easy to save pages and open them via menu. On Opera Mini 4.2 I liked the possibility to show few of the saved pages on start page. This is no longer possible on Opera Mini 5 but the lack of this feature is a question of start page features.
Except the saved URL page as opera mini and bolt, UC Browser 7.2 has an option to save the page as txt format which could save the mobile memory and easier to extract the content you like. Then you can easily copy to your word document or send SMS to your friends. After all, the content is more important than the URL, isn't it?
Conclusion and summary
- Bolt 3.55p
- Opera Mini 4.27p
- UC Browser 4.22p
From the point perspective, Opera mini is the most function-Rich browser with
most users around the world, and actually it is!
But its leading position is facing the challenge from new mobile browser players such as Bolt and UC browser. Especially for UC browser, comparing with its 7.2.0 version, more function and optimization is deployed in version 7.2.2.Bolt is good as well. But not good enough. As a java based mobile browser, the function they provided is enough for the java supported feature phone. But not for the smartphone with high processing ability and more memory. Bolt should consider how to satisfy these customers.

DOPE!!!! Bruno Mars x Cardi B "Finesse (Remix)"
WHAAAAAT!!!!!! Yo if you know anything about me then you'd know that I love the 90s! I was born in the 80's but nothing comes close to the music, fashion, and vibe of the 1990s. Bruno Mars brought along Cardi B for an ill remix of Finesse and the visuals pays tribute to my favorite sketch comedy show In Living Color. Cardi could definitely pass as a Fly Girl.
This is how you start the year off!

Favorite game console startup gets the call to announce Season Two of The CXOff Cyclocross Racing Project. I'll have more info on what I have planned and who's joining me again and a few new additions.
Until then, enjoy some preseason shenanigans below…
It Was 🔥🔥🔥 For Jeremy Powers DC CX Camp!!
Breaking off the rust on an extremely 🔥🔥🔥 day 1 of 2 at the Jeremy Powers DC CX Camp. The weekend at the Armed Forces Retirement Home and site of DCCX with Jeremy, Bill (@CXHairs), and the coaching crew was perfect despite the blistering and decidedly non-cross temps.
I learned some new tricks and refined the skills I learned last year. I can't emphasize enough how a camp or clinic for cyclocross will accelerate your learning process. I knew nothing last year and came away with everything I needed for a fun and successful season. This time, I had some definitive areas of improvement I wanted to focus on. I addressed them as planned and came away with an unexpected improvement in technique for my starts.
I'll explain more later—I really just want to get this first video posted!!
Note: Apologies for the wind noise but I kept losing the dead kitty on the Sony mic so I left it off halfway through the video. Need a better solution for that, because it obviously didn't work.
¡Support Boredom!
SHARE! RETWEET! SUBSCRIBE! Every little bit helps. Long story short: I need to sell ads, companies need to see high page views, and page views come from putting this in front of as many eyes as possible. Subscribing to my channel on YouTube helps as well.

To you, perfection is paramount. It manifests in form, function and a surprising ease of use. This high expectation can be perceived throughout your home, where everything is of high quality and thought through to the last detail. Of course, also your home appliances excel with excellent quality results and stand out with first-class design: These are the home appliances of Series 8.
During the pyrolytic cleaning function, the oven heats up to 480°C to burn off grease and food residue. What's left is a small residual amount of ash in the base of the oven that can be easily wiped clean.
Bosch Series 8 ovens offer up to 71 usable litres of cooking space and larger baking trays. The increased cavity creates more uniform baking results due to the improved heat circulation between the racks.
Thanks to 4D HotAir, you can place your food on any shelf from level one to four, and the results will be consistently perfect. The rotating fan alternates its direction during cooking to distribute heat evenly on every level.
HotAir Eco uses less energy by using a single tray. This energy efficient function distributes less heat into the oven and uses residual heat to maintain the set temperature.
Every dish is a perfect success thanks to the 10 pre-set automatic programs.
Electronic thermostats monitor the ovens cavity temperature to maintain temperature consistency during the cooking process.
Easy-to-use thanks to the control ring with clear text and touch symbols.
For added safety, selected Bosch single ovens are fitted with quadruple-glazed CoolTouch doors. The reflective inner glass is designed to keep the heat in, while providing a safe-to-touch door on the outside.
When the appliance is switched off, the display ring shows the residual heat in the cooking compartment. As the residual heat cools down, the display ring becomes darker then disappears.
Bosch Series 8 ovens are equipped with a child lock that prevents unwanted changes to settings. The control panel is locked so the appliance can only be switched off using the On/Off button.
Integrated halogen lighting ensures the interior cavity is brightly lit. More efficient than standard lights, they are durable and are designed to last longer.
Thanks to a special damping mechanism, the oven door opens and closes softer and quieter than before. This convenient feature not only offers a premium finish, it also protects the oven and door during the life of the oven.
Over the years, Bosch has been surveyed to be one of the most reliable brands of washing machines by a leading independent consumer organisation in Australia.
All Bosch home appliances are produced with maximum care with high-quality materials. BOSCH promises a 2-year warranty on all appliances.

Born in western New York, Jon's family moved to Oregon when he was in the second grade. Jon grew up in NW Portland and graduated from Lincoln High School with varsity letters in swimming, cross country, and track. He studied Political Science at Southern Methodist University and was a member and officer of the Kappa Sigma fraternity.
While traveling the country Jon discovered his passion for architecture and design and eventually earned his architecture degree from Portland State University. Upon graduation, Jon was hired as an apprentice at a Lake Oswego remodeling company. He immediately fell in love with the people and places of Lake Oswego.
Jon continued to work and save, ultimately buying the company that first hired him. Jon's love of remodeling spurred him to earn his real estate license so that he could buy/sell and invest in real estate. In addition to speculative remodeling, and new construction, Jon has successfully developed several condominium projects.

Its hard to believe. A female recruit/student at the Nigerian Defense Academy was told to put her head on top of a wood while raising up her body in a 90 degrees angle after being rolled in mud. She was flogged by senior male recruits before she was put through this excruciating punishment all in the name of N.D.A training. Please watch the video and see more photos after the cut...
Why were male cadets torturing a female cadet? that's strange. Why were they doing it away from other cadets in the N.D.A? Aren't Female cadets in the N.D.A suppose to have their own quarters while male have theirs?
Conversation between the senior male cadets and the woman and more pictures after the cut.
Senior Cadet: Answer me , is this the Airforce of your dreams?
Woman: (while sobbing) Yes Sir
Senior Cadet: What is your name?
Woman : ...H.T Ebenezer sir (while crying)
Woman: Sir please
Senior Cadet: What of your Fiancee? Do you have a fiancee?
In the video the other senior male cadets could be heard telling the woman ' Don't worry after this weeks of training you will appreciate it'. 'I will flog you again o, Ebenezer'.

They became a trend of fashion dresses 2020. Knitted clothing gives a special unique charm to its owner.
Skirt-shorts perfectly combine the beauty and femininity of the skirt and the convenience and practicality of shorts. Initially, it is a model for sports.Today, short skirts have many modifications and are more popular than ever.

A dress with a plush skirt is the bell style.Soft folds of the skirt, a wavy bottom is relevant for the dress-bell. Dress-bell is also in women fashion 2020.
A lush skirt on a dense cover is an extreme version of the dress. It visually resembles a bell. Dresses in style of bell direct the look to the slender legs and the waist of the girl.
The style of summer dresses "on one shoulder" is associated with ancient Greek. Greek dress is the second version of this outfit, which is more closed and strict.
The Greek dress looks perfect from silk or chiffon. It looks great in all colors. Pastel colors are especially appropriate for this style. Blue and violet models with a flared skirt look interesting.
2020 fashion trends: trendy blouses
Asymmetry in clothing is in 2020 fashion trends. Asymmetric blouses can be semi-open or simply originally sewn-out variations of the classics. Models on one shoulder or with an uneven bottom look stylish.
In 2020 fashion trends are cutouts on the waist, shoulders or back. Try to experiment with these blouses, carefully selecting them for the characteristics of your figure.
Fitted blouse will suit even the owners of magnificent forms. The dark color blouse doesn't accentuate the drawbacks of the figure, emphasizes the waistline and hides the magnificent volumes.
Cargo, palazzo, slims, and skins are trendy in this season. They fit with woman's tuxedoes, jackets, bright blazers, business blouses. Experiment with guipure or openwork on the legs visually adds charm, makes the posture aristocratic.
Pants can look more stylish using a satin tuck on the sides. A white, beige, caramel, spectacular red "line" is suitable. For a smart image, use a tuck in the color of marsala, sapphire, menthol or with the addition of shimmering sand, sparkles. I
t's also in 2020 fashion trends. Get tight-fitting or shortened versions of trousers in the technique of tie-dye in order to become the embodiment of femininity. Floral drawings are perfectly combined with translucent blouses of pastel coloring, or openwork shirt.
It is worth carefully using decorative elements on the trousers for the business style. Pay attention to a single pocket with a floral print, animalistic insert with a side edge, a pair of rivets at the waist.
Latest fashion trends 2020: fashionable trends
Free sweaters are at the peak of fashion. These can be flywheels with asymmetrical corners, an oversized sweater, or a large knitted sweater as if stretched or several sizes larger.
Sweater poncho is an independent element of the wardrobe, and as a cloak as outerwear. You can meet this bold style in latest fashion trends 2020.
Bright and unusual coats in the style of pop art will look extravagant. There is a place for incredible embroideries, prints, applications. Such outfits will suit young, daring and outrageous people.

Women fashion 2020: trendy colors
Light pink color is ideal for creating a romantic, gentle image. Particularly effective will look to the girl gently pink dress-case without strapless.
Bordeaux is a saturated noble color which requires simplicity of cut.
Accessories are better to choose black or beige. It's an extravagant color in women fashion 2020. Olive is a very beautiful and deep color, which will suit lean girls and girls with an ideal figure. Perfectly goes in pair with accessories of gold and black color.
The blue color represents youth.
This color scheme will transform a young girl but will ruin the image of a woman of solid age. Blue well emphasizes the eyes of the same shade, beautifully shades the hair of the color golden blond and contrasts with the dark hair of the brunettes.
The emerald color is the 2020 season trend. Emerald shade is perfectly combined with dresses fitting silhouette, delicate lace and models with soft folds.
Golden yellow and champagne with metallic are the most relevant shades of yellow this season.

Joost fired its CEO and laid off 100 people yesterday. What went wrong at the once-promising Web TV startup?
Lots!, writes Om Malik of GigaOM.
You'll want to read the full analysis, but here are Om's top five bulletpoints:
- Too Big, Too Fast: Joost hired too many people, too quickly. It never behaved like a startup but instead always felt like a grown-up company with too many bureaucratic layers.
- Too Geographically Spread Out: The company was based in multiple geographic locations — New York, London and The Netherlands — and as a result, each location became somewhat of a silo.
- Not Enough Focus: Remember what your mum used to say when you took too big of a bite? If you're not careful, you're going to choke. Startups are just like that. Unless you focus, you're going to choke. Joost couldn't focus on one single market — and startups need to focus on one market at a time in order to win.
- Too Much Hype Too Soon: Like many, we were one of the early fans of this start-up. Its founder pedigree generated in a lot of pre-release interest. Nearly 250,000 folks signed-up for the beta version of the software. But when technology problems hit, the pre-release buzz turned into buzz kill.
- Slow to Fix Its Technology Problems : Joost's P2P network had technical problems early on that resulted in user defection. The company didn't move to address those concerns fast enough. These technology problems have continued to nag the company through all its life even when it switched to a browser-based focus.

Is it possible to fix the glitches that occurr when you make really huge sectors? What happens is that some sectors inside that sector is partially or completely clipped away from some angles. I am working on a map and always have to revert to that old backup no matter what methods I try. I know splitting sectors help, but it is not desirable in this case. Is it possible to fix this glitch in any way?
I had the same problem with my Sonic 3D levels (they're TOO huge). But i don't needed to revert to that old backup, cuz Craigfatman explain to me, how to fix these glitches with help of LeBuild. It's easy.

1. Wisdom and courage as yet another church discipline (this time, here in Esbjerg) issue has come up that I am trying to deal with.
2. Endurance for Hansy these last two months of the pregnancy.
3. Evangelistic DVD outreach. We are looking at passing out a new DVD which presents the gospel of repentance and faith clearly to all the college students here in Esbjerg. (http://www.wretchedradio.com/biggestproject/)
We have begun some major remodeling and construction projects on the main camp buildings. They involve enlarging the women's bathroom and eventually, adding 12 new family apartments for our large camps. We need to have these at least semi-completed before our next large family camp (the beginning of April). Please pray that the Lord would provide for us all the help we need to finish these projects on time.
Pray for the preparation of numerous Bible teachings for this Easter camp—so that the Lord would guide each one of the various teachers as they prepare, and that the result would be great growth and edification in the lives of the believers who attend the camp.
Please continue to pray for the new believers in our church. Pray that this would be a year of deep spiritual growth in their lives.
We have written in the past concerning Sara, who knows the Lord and attends the church with her 4 children. She and her family have suffered greatly because of the actions of her husband, Leonard. For the last 2 years, he has been very negative towards hearing the word of God or having any kind of relationship with us. Last Tuesday, however, I visited alone with him for several hours. I left him a couple of evangelistic movies to watch and am praying that God will humble his heart to hear the gospel. His wife let me know that he watched one of the movies very intently. Tomorrow I plan to have breakfast with Leonard and share the gospel with him. Pray with us that he will either start reading the Bible on his own or begin am evangelistic study with me. Romans 10:17 "So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ."
Freddy and Eileen first heard about Christ through Florencio and Eusebia, who encouraged them to participate in a Bible study with us. Freddy and Eileen's work schedules and activities have made it difficult for the study to be consistent. Pray with us that God will use His word to bring faith to their hearts. This last Friday we studied through the first half of John 1. Freddy appears somewhat skeptical but is listening; Eileen absorbing it all up like a sponge.
2. Pray for Bobby and Namatha's health as they get ready for their states side trip which begins on March 6. Pray for their health. The family has been battling flu like symptoms for a couple weeks already!
Praise for a God-honoring, very successful first attempt to hold a teenage winter retreat. We had prayed for snow and cold weather in order to do broom ball down on the lake and do to other winter activities. God answered as the snow was too deep to get down to the lake with a vehicle and it was so cold we couldn't walk them down as it was the coldest day of the year with temps hovering around 0 degrees. But the teaching of the Word, the godly counsel of excellent adult counselors and the fellowship around the 2 different blazing fireplaces was so precious. All but 2 of the girls in the bunkhouse responded overwhelmingly in testimonies to God working in them. The guys also had great response to the Word. Praise His Name!!
Most urgent request: the need to build the new dining hall is urgent as we could barely get the 32 campers and 12 counselor/speakers into our meeting room(certainly couldn't feed them on the patio as we do in the summer). Our summer camps are much larger so the need is pressing. We are just a little short of funds to begin. Also need volunteer cement finishers and much earth moving to lay the foundation.
Next request: volunteer college-age counselors and speakers for summer camps.
(1) For Camille and Francis, who are learning to read and write Glaro. They are both having difficulty writing Glaro right now, but I'm not too concerned about it b/c they are in the very early stages of learning how to identify and write the tones of their mother tongue. Pray that they would be able to do this as the weeks progress. (We three and BK get together 2x/week --- Friday mornings and Sunday afternoons, for about an hour each time.)
(2) For Claudine, who told me that she wants to learn how to read and write Glaro again (she was in the class in 2001, but said she's forgotten everything she learned…). I've invited her to join us on Fridays and Sundays. Pray that she will. I'm hoping that if these three could become proficient in reading and writing Glaro that, in the future, I could pull them into my work of translation in some capacity, which would be a tremendous help to me.

Actor Danny Trejo Opens Vegan-Friendly Taco Restaurant!
Danny Trejo is known for his iconic roles in films such as From Dusk Till Dawn, Reindeer Games, Con Air, Machete, and more.
Now the actor is planning to have the soft opening for his new vegan-friendly taco restaurant next week. It will be located in the neighborhood of Miracle Mile in Los Angeles, called "Trejo's Tacos" with a very appropriate logo. The menu itself was crafted by chef Daniel Mattern, and features many options that will appeal to all types of diners. Trejo stated:
"We have 10 different tacos. It's just stuff that everybody likes. Here, we wanted to include everybody, so we have a great vegan menu and gluten-free menu."
And what are some of the plant-based options available? Organic kale salads, mung bean tortillas, vegan tacos, quinoa and brown rice bowls, house-made salsas, fried avocado, and black pepper tofu. The menu will also feature beverages such as aguas frescas, horchata and kombucha on tap, as well as Trejo's own brewed beer Cerveca, and his South American coffee blend that is roasted locally.
Trejo also stated that no food would be kept overnight, and any leftovers will be donated to a local homeless shelter when the restaurant closes.
Although this location will just be opening up, there are already plans for a second one in Hollywood, as well as Trejo's own ice cream sandwich line, which hopefully will also have vegan options!
Click here to see the website and the official menu (coming soon).

On Wednesday, September 29, Christie's auctioned off about twelve million dollars worth of artwork from the wreckage of Lehman Brothers. (Auction catalog.) While the pieces that made the news were Ethiopian artist Julie Mehretu's "Untitled 1," which went for slightly more than $1 million, and Chinese artist Liu Ye's "The Long Way Home," which sold for slightly less than $1 million, historians can learn from the collection as a whole. It shows the history of the Lehman Brothers enterprise from its origins in the antebellum South through the collapse of 2008.
In a Wikipedia nutshell, the history of Lehman brothers runs like this:
What would become Lehman Brothers started in 1844 when Bavarian immigrant Henry Lehman opened a dry goods store in Montgomery, Alabama. Soon Henry's brothers, Mayer and Emanuel Lehman, arrived in America, and the three became cotton traders, organized as Lehman Brothers. The company opened a branch office in Manhattan in 1858, and moved headquarters there after the Civil War. By the 1880s, the surviving Lehman brothers (Henry had died of the dreaded yellow fever before the war) were heavily involved in the worlds of trade and finance.
So far, so good—at least as far as I know. But while Wikipedia goes on to list the company's involvement with stocks and financial instruments, the artwork Christie's sold tells a different story.
Notable, if you look through the collection, is the large number of Chinese art and artifacts. This suggests that Lehman Brothers was deeply involved in the late nineteenth-century Pacific trade, which took off after the 1868 Burlingame Treaty opened China to US business, and which brought enormous wealth to America before WWI. A number of paintings sold on Wednesday were of ships, both merchant ships and navy ships (and one excursion steamer painted by Gideon Yates*). The Lehman brothers clearly recognized the importance of ships both to carry and to protect their business ventures. They were—if you can trust their art—almost certainly involved in China.
The rest of the collection sold Wednesday tells another story. The many early eighteenth-century British paintings and prints were undoubtedly a way for rising immigrant businessmen to nail some status to their walls. And the recent years of world-wide investment banking not surprisingly added the sophistication of modern art to the collection.
The earlier and later art Lehman Brother gathered seems to me about what you would expect from a longstanding business's art collection. But the Chinese pieces and the maritime art was a surprise. I had never thought that the Lehman Brothers that collapsed so spectacularly in 2008 might have been a player in America's nineteenth-century ocean trade.
*No, guys, I'm not kidding. It sold for $3,748.

principal, interest, taxes, and insurance payment
Principal, Interest, Taxes, and Insurance
The components of a real estate owner's mortgage payment. When considering whether to loan money for a mortgage, a bank often considers what the PITI will be as a percentage of the potential borrower's gross monthly income. Generally speaking, mortgage banks prefer PITI to be 28% or less of the borrower's income.
principal, interest, taxes, and insurance payment
Usually a consumer mortgage loan arrangement that allows the borrower to pay small amounts each month toward anticipated annual expenses for taxes and insurance.The lender keeps the tax and insurance portions of the payment in an escrow account, ready to pay the bills when they come due. If the borrower sells his or her home before the taxes or insurance are due, the borrower may be entitled to a refund of monies in the escrow account.

2017 Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) and Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA)
Grant Announcement
The State of Colorado through the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (DHSEM) serves as the applicant to FEMA pursuant to program guidelines. Project sponsors are defined as subapplicants per Federal regulations.
FEMA has formally announced the Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) and Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) grants. These nationally competitive grants provide mitigation funding on a cost share basis to local communities for the completion of eligible, cost effective mitigation projects. FEMA's announcements state that $90 million and $150 million have been allocated to the PDM and FMA programs for FY 2017 respectively.
Eligible project types include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Hazard mitigation planning
- Localized flood control to protect critical facilities
- Wildfire mitigation (to include hazard fuels reduction, defensible space and ignition-resistant construction)
- Floodwater storage and diversion
- Floodplain and stream restoration
- Property acquisition and demolition in high hazard areas
- Water and sanitary sewer system protective measures
- Utility protective measures
- Community safe room construction
FEMA FY 2017 PDM and FMA grants require a 25 percent local cost share while 75 percent of project funding for approved projects will come from FEMA. The Period of Performance (PoP) for these grants is 36 months (3 years) from the Funding Selection Date. For local Hazard Mitigation Plans (HMP) the PoP is 2 years. The current projected PoP end date for FY 2017 PDM and FMA project grants is January 30, 2021.
To be eligible for project funding under either the PDM or FMA grant, it is a requirement that subapplicants have adopted a current (non-expired), FEMA-approved local Hazard Mitigation Plan, both at the time of subapplication submission to FEMA and at the time of FEMA project award obligation. Subapplicants proposing to develop a hazard mitigation plan are not requried to have a FEMA approved HMP at the time of application or award. For information on whether a community has a FEMA approved HMP, please consult the Approved Plans webpage on the Colorado Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (DHSEM) website.
Information Requests
The DHSEM encourages local communities throughout the state interested in learning more about this opportunity to contact their assigned Hazard Mitigation Specialist for additional information. To determine your community's Hazard Mitigation Specialist, please consult the DHSEM Mitigation Roles and Responsibilities webpage.
Application Process Requirement
DHSEM is implementing a new process for PDM and FMA subapplicants for FY 2017 grant funding. DHSEM is requiring subapplicants use EMGrants to notify DHSEM of formal interest by submitting a subapplication for grant funding. DHSEM is no longer accepting paper Notices of Interest (NOI) as in previous years. Interested subapplicants are encouraged to contact their assigned Hazard Mitigation Specialist to determine if an active account in EMGrants exists or if a new account is required. For information on which Hazard Mitigation Specialist to contact, please consult the DHSEM Mitigation Roles and Responsibilities webpage.
Communities interested in pursuing funding for local Hazard Mitigation Planning subapplications please contact Mark Thompson (email@example.com or 720-630-0770) or Patricia Gavelda (firstname.lastname@example.com or 970-749-8280).
For additional information specific to grant program funding priorities, project funding limits, and eligible project types, please see the DHSEM 2017 Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) and Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) Program Grant Priorities.

It's time to recover the "maglia nera" jersey, the one that identified the last classified of Giro d'Italia between 1946 and 1951.
At the time this merit had, apart from a cash prize, quite a social prestige among cyclists. The wiliness of some to classify last made them hide in bars and farms in order to lose time."
Many fans still remember the name of the last classified in 1951, younger ones had to seek in the archives, but they all recognize the name Giovanni Pinarello: an unknown at that time, but todays world-renowned cyclist. The following year he would be fired from his team (maybe for this?). The compensation money was the origin of the Pinarello bicycle factory.
The gregarious who work day after day to help their leaders deserve much more recognition, especially in the 3 major races (Tour de France, Giro d'Italia and Vuelta a España). Sometimes ending last is not voluntary, it can be the result of an injury, a fall, or just because at certain age you are still learning to compete in three-week races.
It may seem like a misunderstanding, and maybe even not ethical to compete to finish last, but the sport is full of doubtful acts and nobody seems to be concerned. You just need to remember those soccer games where the tie is agreed. Some regular season games, in any team sport, are lost on purpose in order to play against a weaker team during the play offs, or strangest results that they seem tailor made for bets.
To finish last you do not need to be the strongest, but you do need to know your limitations and pedal very intelligently so not to finish outside the time limit and become eliminated.
Historic runners like Jacky Durand, Jimmy Casper, Joseba Beloki, Rob Harmeling, Bradley Mcgee and Robbie McEwen have ended last in some classifications, which is unknown to most people.
In Letsvelo bike tours opinion, Sam Bennett, Adriano Malori, Sébastien Chavanel, Svein Tuft, Jimmy Engoulvent, Fabio Sabatini, Giuseppe Fonzi, Marco Coledan, Jetse Bol, Davide Apollonio, Jos Van Emden, Tom Veelers, Cheng Ji , Massimo Graziato, Andrea Guardini, Nikias Arndt and Boy Van Poppel, among others cyclists who have been competing for the last few years, should deserve a higher recognition.

Once upon a time I had a really productive semester. I made a schedule for myself and stuck to it, getting up at 8 a.m. every day and working on my writing in the mornings (or teaching prep on teaching days) and going into the office in the afternoons/evenings. I wrote a long article that had been commissioned for a book project and submitted it in late February. I made significant progress on another research project. I also taught my courses (which were all repeats, to be fair) and did a fair amount of departmental service. My apartment was neat. I went to the gym six days a week. My life was orderly.
Sometimes now I look back on that semester and wonder if I will ever reach that smooth level of productivity again. Now, another story of that time in my life would emphasize the fact that I had broken up with my then-girlfriend two months before and spent that semester depressed, lonely, and sad. I was in therapy. I was planning a life of celibacy.
A few months after that semester ended, I fell in love with my current partner. We moved in together a few months after that. I became a dog mom. And ever since, my life has been much richer emotionally and much less organized. I think that's a good trade-off -- I know I'm happier in deep ways that really matter to me. But there's also that little voice in my head that says I'm a bad academic, that I could be more productive if I just tried harder.
I'm not saying that there aren't things I can do to improve my workspace, my time management, and my attitude. I know a lot of strategies that work well for me. That's not really what I'm getting at.
One of the most important things I learned a few years ago was to stop saying or thinking "I have to do X" -- that acknowledging to yourself that everything you do is a choice reduces some of the resistance or ambivalence: "I choose to...grade, clean the bathroom, etc."
So: I choose to spend time with my partner. I choose to spend time with our dogs. I choose to make our home clean and comfortable. I choose to practice yoga. I choose to be a productive scholar. I choose to be a motivating and generous teacher. I choose to be a responsible member of my department and profession.
It's not a prioritized list. Even as I typed that paragraph, I had to resist the urge to put scholarship and teaching higher in the list, so as to persuade you of my seriousness. Quite frankly, I think my primary relationship and the family we've created comes way before my academic work. Probably keeping the house clean is further down the list. Where's yoga? where's service? I don't know. That's part of my job to figure out this semester, so I can make up some new sort of plan that will work for my new life. I can't go back, and don't want to go back, to my depressed & lonely but article-publishing schedule. Can I be happy and still publish? enough?
(In the interest of full disclosure, and to make it clear that I am in no way suggesting that relationships necessarily reduce one's output: I have published several articles and a book in the years since I've been with my GF. But I've been stalled out for the past year and so find myself looking back to past periods of productivity to see what I can learn.)

When it comes to health conditions it is quite essential that you must always get yourself checked on a regular basis. The present conditions which we are facing these days and the type of lifestyle that is maintained will always lead to various kinds of disease. All such ailments are indeed recognized as lifestyle diseases. One such essential disease is Diabetes.
Diabetes is one such disease, which engulfs its preys with high blood sugar levels, and as a result of which one gets succumbed to it. There are various other kinds of issues which you will face along with this particular disease. Hence it will roll its victims under a severe condition.
Hence it can be said that falling prey to such a disease is never an option and you must actually get yourself checked before. It is essential to detect which type of diabetes you have and for this a test for diabetes is a perquisite. Therefore, it is really important to know this ailment. There are many blogs which you must have gone through to acknowledge the treatment for diabetes, but we will analyze what diabetes is, along with its various aspects.
What Is Diabetes?
People who have diabetes may always hear or read a lot about controlling, or managing, the condition. But first we need to know what diabetes is and why it is so important to control the same. The number of people suffering with diabetes is rocketing these days. Up from under half a million its three million today. According to various reports people are as well suffering from high blood pressure with this condition. As with so many conditions information and prevention is always better than cure.
Diabetes exists in more than one of a kind
There are mainly two main kinds of diabetes, Type 1 and Type 2. The Types 1 usually starts before the age of 20 and always stands on the pillar of insulin injections. The Type 2 one, is a condition which tends to start later in life with a simpler version of treatment. Yes it is said that in Type 2 diabetes the condition usually clams down with tablets and some lifestyle changes.
It is also true that about 95% of people suffer from Type 2 diabetes.
Besides these two major types, there is also a form of diabetes, known as, Diabetes Insipidus. This types of diabetes is caused due to lack of anti-diuretic hormone within the body. As a result, one has to go for a Diabetes Insipidus test for the confirmation of the illness. While the mild cases of the ailment are treatable with increase in amount of water intake, severe cases may require proper medication and therapies. There are situations, when the ailment may show abnormalities within the body of the patient.
Symptoms of Diabetes
How can you tell that you have diabetes? Most of the early symptoms and some signals are always enough to tell you about diabetes. For the Type 2 diabetes, some of the symptoms are so mild and common health issues that people usually tend to ignore them. Some people even do not recognize their disease, until some harm is caused with its negative effects. So, before you go for a diabetes blood test, you need to go examine the following symptoms.
The Common Symptoms
Both type of diabetes have some telltale warning signs. These are some of the signals which are usually noticed from the very beginning and hence helps in recognizing the correct ailment. Let us have a look at some of the common symptoms for both, namely:
- Hunger and Fatigue
Our body converts food into glucose and hence convert the same into energy. However Insulin is required to get this change done. When you are suffering from diabetes, the production of insulin gets reduced or restricted and hence body does not make any kind of glucose, it begins to feel hungry and fatigued.
- Peeing more often
One of the turnkey factor or symptom which would help you get an indication about your diabetes is that you will pee more often than you will thirsty. An average person pee between four to seven times in a day. However people with diabetes may go a lot more.
- Dry Mouth and Itchy Skin
Since your body begins to lose more amount of fluids, it is obvious that it will gradually become dry. There will always be less amount of moisture in your body. You go dehydrated and begins to feel dry, along with an itchiness in the skin.
- Blurred Vision
The changing fluids in your body usually make the lenses in your eye balls swell up. They usually change the shape and accordingly lose their ability to focus.
The Symptoms of Type 2 Diabetes
yes there are however some change in the individual diabetic symptoms. Let us have a look at some of the aspects.
The Yeast Infections
Both men and women with diabetes is liable to get these. Yeast feeds on glucose, therefore having plenty around makes it thrive. Infections can indeed grow in any warm, moist fold of skin, even including the areas like:
- In-between fingers and toes
- Under breasts
- In or around sex organs
The Process of Slow-healing sores or cuts
Yes it is true that over time, the presence of high blood sugar can affect your blood flow and even cause the nerve to damage that makes it hard for your body to heal wounds.
The Pain or numbness in your feet or legs
When you have diabetes you might always feel some kind of numbness in your feet or legs. This is nothing but another result of nerve damage.
The Symptoms of Type 1 Diabetes
Another type of diabetes is the Type 1. Along with having all the common types of symptoms there are some specially recognized Symptoms. Let us have a look at some of those symptoms.
An Unplanned weight loss
If your body is unable to get energy from your food, it will start burning the muscle and fat for energy instead. You may at such juncture lose weight even though you haven't changed on how you eat.
The Nausea and Vomiting
When your body resorts to the process of burning fat, it makes some 'ketones'. These are the one that can build up in your blood to such dangerous levels, a possibly life-threatening condition, more commonly known as diabetic ketoacidosis. Ketones can indeed make you feel sick to your stomach.
Symptoms in Male
Yes diabetes is such a disease which often has difference in its establishment among male and female. The symptoms in male are always different, like;
- Reduced strength from loss of muscle mass.
- Recurrent episodes of thrush around the genitals.
- Itching of or around the penis.
- Erectile dysfunction
Symptoms in Female
As said earlier, the symptoms in female also differs a lot. There are specific reasons and symptoms which always takes a different shape among females, like;
- Vaginal and oral yeast infections and vaginal thrush
- Urinary infections
- Female sexual dysfunction
- Polycystic ovary syndrome
When you should call your doctor
When you are suffering from diabetes and is older than 45, it is always important to get things tested. When you spot such things or such conditions early, you can avoid nerve damage, heart trouble and various other complications. However there are some conditions when you need to call a doctor, such as
- Feel sick to your stomach, weak, and too thirsty
- When you are peeing a lot
- Have a very bad stomach ache
- Are breathing more deeply and faster than the normal condition
- Have sweet breath that smells like nail polish remover
- If your blood tests for diabetes result is positive
What are major risks of diabetes?
Let us be very clear that there is nothing known as mild kind of diabetes. There are basically two types of diabetes, among which the Type 2 have fewer symptoms in comparison to the Type 1.
Let's be clear – there is no such thing as 'the mild kind' of diabetes. The Type 2 diabetes usually has fewer number of symptoms to begin with but, without enough and accurate treatment, it greatly increases your risk of undergoing a heart attack and at times even a stroke. Fortunately, keeping with your blood sugar, cholesterol and even blood pressure under control may help you to a certain extent. At times even a combination of diet, exercise and medicines can dramatically cut such risks.
What are Causes of Diabetes?
Diabetes is definitely one such kind of disease which is supposed to be genetic mutations affecting Beta Cells, Insulin, and Insulin Action. These can as well be listed as some of the most important causes of diabetes. There are some relatively uncommon forms of diabetes, which are caused by mutations, or changes, in a single gene. These are the mutations which are usually inherited, but sometimes the gene mutations, occurs spontaneously. This therefore causes diabetes thereby reducing the performance of the beta cells to produce body insulin.
There are many other reasons which ultimately cause for such a change in your health. In fact you'll be surprised to know that like the specific genre division in type, diabetes also have some divisions in its causes. Hence the causes for Type 1 Diabetes and Type 2 diabetes are different. Let us have a look at some of the instances.
The Causes for Type 1 Diabetes:
There are many reason which causes for Type 1 diabetes and if we consider then the list will be prepared in the following order:
The Genetic Susceptibility
Heredity is one such aspect which plays an important part in determining who is likely to develop the type 1 diabetes. Genes are always passed down from the biological parent to child. These Genes on the other hand carry instructions for making proteins needed for the body's cells to function. There are however many genes, which have interactions among them, and are at the end of the day thought to influence susceptibility to and protection from type 1 diabetes.
The Autoimmune Destruction of Beta Cells
When we talk about the Type 1 diabetes, then white blood cells commonly known as T cells attack and destroy beta cells. This is the process that begins well before diabetes symptoms appear and even continues after diagnosis. Often, this type 1 diabetes is not the one diagnosed until most beta cells have already been destroyed. At such a juncture, a person needs some daily insulin treatment to survive. Therefore finding ways to modify this autoimmune process and preserve the beta cell function.
The Environmental Factors
Environmental factors, such as foods and toxins, may always play a very important role in the development of type 1 diabetes, but the exact nature of their role has actually not been determined. Some theories suggest that there are environmental factors which trigger the autoimmune destruction of beta cells in people with a complete genetic susceptibility to diabetes.
The Viruses and infections
A virus cannot cause diabetes, but however people are sometimes diagnosed with type 1 diabetes during or after a severe viral infection, suggesting the existence of a link between the two. Also, the complete onset of type 1 diabetes mostly occurs frequently during the winter, especially when viral infections are more common.
Infant feeding practices
There have been some Diabetes testing surveys, which suggests that dietary factors may always raise or lower the risk of developing type 1 diabetes. For instance, the breastfed infants and infants receiving vitamin D supplements may always have a reduced risk of developing type 1 diabetes, while early exposure to cow's milk and cereal proteins.
The Causes for Type 2 Diabetes:
There are many causes which are also present for the Type 2 diabetes and it is as well true that these are some of the most important factors. Let us have a look at some of the aspects.
The Genetic Susceptibility
Genes are one such aspect which always play an important role in the susceptibility to type 2 diabetes. Having genes or rather one should say combinations of genes may actually increase or even decrease a person's risk for developing the disease. The role of these genes is suggested by the high rate of type 2 diabetes in families and some identical twins and wide variations in diabetes prevalence by ethnicity.
The Obesity and Physical Inactivity
When it comes to physical inactivity and obesity, these are considered strongly associated with the development of type 2 diabetes. People who are indeed genetically susceptible to type 2 diabetes are all the more vulnerable when these risk factors are present.
The Insulin Resistance
Another most important point is the insulin resistance is a common condition in people who are actually overweight or obese, have some excess abdominal fat, and are not physically active. Muscle, fat, and even liver cells stop responding properly to insulin, thereby forcing the pancreas to compensate by producing extra insulin. As long as the beta cells are able to produce enough insulin, blood glucose levels stay in their normal range. But when insulin production indeed falters because of beta cell dysfunction, the glucose levels rise, leading to diabetes.
The Abnormal Glucose Production by the Liver
In some people who are suffering with diabetes, there is always an abnormal increase in glucose production by the liver which as well contributes to the high blood glucose levels. Normally, the pancreas are the one that releases the hormone glucagon when blood glucose levels are low. Glucagon thereby stimulates the liver to produce glucose and hence release it into the bloodstream. But when the blood glucose and the insulin levels are high after a meal, glucagon levels drop, and thereby the liver stores excess glucose for later.
How low is too low for your blood sugar?
There are some medicines for diabetes and mostly insulin injections and tablets more commonly known as sulphonylureas are available in the market. It is also true that this can drop your blood sugar too much, causing hypoglycaemia. This indeed makes you feel very unwell and can at the end of the day cause severe complications including brain damage and even heart attack in some cases.
How do I recognize that I have low blood sugar?
If you have diabetes and your blood sugar is too low, then it might happen that you may feel irritable, dizzy, hungry, and even trembling and tired. At such situations you may as well have problems concentrating or seeing things clearly. If someone within your close relation has diabetes and looks sweaty and pale or even begins behaving as if they're drunk, always ask yourself if they may be having a 'hypoglycaemia' condition.
How can I actually help myself?
One of the most common cause of type 2 diabetes is being overweight. Yes believe this or not but it is true that being overweight can make you suffer from diabetes. The presence of Type 2 diabetic ailment can also be one of the main reasons for getting complications like heart attack and kidney or even eye damage. If you can actually cut your weight by just 10%, or even you can lower your fasting blood sugar by almost 50% then a cure is always possible. Your doctor will always be delighted to help you look at your diet and exercise to see how they can help.
Getting regular blood test for diabetes is an absolutely turnkey solution. If you're prescribed any kind of medication, do always speak to your pharmacist if you get side-effects, rather than just stopping it. You shall also take special care of your eyes. A good and maintained diet might as well help you solve your situation.
Diabetes Diet
If your Diabetes test confirms the presence of the illness then it is always suggested by a dietician to reach certain health and nutritional goals. These will never make a huge difference, yet will affect your condition tremendously. Drastic changes to your food intake or even the exercise usually result in eventual rebounding. There are various kinds of goals which are listed, and hence these nutritional facts labels that you are armed with all the equipment to fight diabetes. Let us just a complete wind up for the whole chart in order to achieve results completely.
Whether you meet with a dietitian or even diabetes educator and create plans together, or when you have the motivation to do it on your own, here are certain things to keep in mind: Being realistic is the turnkey solution!!
It is really critical that your goals are in fact doable or given your time, budget, and lifestyle.
Another most important tip for those of us with diabetes who are also looking to maintain or rather improve their weight, is by engaging Blood sugar management, which is going to be a priority, because if your blood sugars are all over the place, this can disrupt your metabolism, hunger cues, and insulin needs. Yes it is true that keeping blood sugar under control, as one of your priority will definitely help allow all of the other positive changes you are seeking to fall right in line.
Now without further commotion, here are some information to always keep in mind when reviewing a Nutrition Facts label:
- The Serving size
Always make sure that you can estimate and even stick to the serving size suggested on the label. Do not ever just eat out of the box or bag, since as a result of this you will almost definitely go over the serving size.
- The Calories
It is also very important to note the source of the calories you are thinking of eating and determine whether it is beneficial for all your blood sugars and overall health.
- The Fat
It is also true that providing nine calories/gram, fat is an extremely important factor in your weight control. And new research has indicated that the saturated fat may not be as bad for our bodies as we have once thought. One thing is for sure, that when it comes to blood sugars, fat slows down absorption of food, thereby causing gradual blood sugar rise instead of an immediate spike.
- The Sodium
The purchase of the low-sodium version of anything you like, at least once, is enough to see a marked difference.
Hence, it can be concluded that when it comes to your health and health related issues it is always suggested to keep everything in your lifestyle in complete order. Yes as modern society claims diabetes nowadays does fall under the genre of lifestyle diseases, but you can still avoid it with regular tests for diabetes. This is one such ailment which will always take an essential part of your life and will at the end of the day make you deprived of many novel aspects.
Finally, if you want to understand the symptoms of diabetes — both the symptoms unique to women and also those women and men experience. Though women indeed haven't seen the same drop in diabetes, specially related to the mortality that men have, understanding and managing the symptoms of diabetes as well as its complications can help you lead a far healthier and satisfactory life.
