There is a movement in science and it is happening around the world. It is a movement of scientists of all kinds towards the idea of Intelligent Design and Creationism. The primary reason that this is happening is because of the march of science towards learning more and more about the Universe and about living organisms. Living organisms are obviously designed. If there were not scientists who were metaphysically repulsed by the concept of God then this would be an accepted fact. Really, there is simply no hope that life could have evolved from non-life for several very good reasons. I have posted in detail how there are chemical barriers to the formation of the components of DNA. The Miller-Urey experiment was actually a failure for Darwinism, because it demonstrated that only a small portion of life components could be produced under very strict circumstances that do not mimic anything happening in the real world and that these components are insufficient to construct any form of life.
Francis Crick, upon discovering the DNA string, realized that this discovery (normally attributed to Crick and Watson but they did not work alone) precluded a natural cause for life. So metaphysically determined to deny the concept of God, he immediately hit upon the concept of Directed Panspermia, that life came from somewhere else since it could not happen here. Here is a paper quoting Francis Crick via the folks who are planning to build a creation museum in Idaho, The NorthWest Science Museum.
Dilbert by way of this site.
The Odds of an Amino Acid Sequence Happening by Chance
Francis Crick, an ardent evolutionist, won the Nobel Prize in 1962 along with several
others for their discovery of the molecular structure of DNA. He has written several books and
has made some startling discoveries about the origins of life.
He writes,
"If a particular amino acid sequence was selected by chance, how rare an
event would that be?
"This is an easy exercise in combinatorials. Suppose the chain is about
two hundred amino acids long; this is, if anything, rather less than the average
length of proteins of all types. Since we have just twenty possibilities at each
place, the number of possibilities is twenty multiplied by itself some two hundred
times. This is conveniently written 20^200 and is approximately equal to 10^260, that
is, a one followed by 260 zeros!"i
This number is so huge that it doesn't have a name. When numbers reach a certain size
they are said to be 10 to the 100th power or 10^100. That is a 1 with 100 zeros behind it. It is very
hard for the human mind to comprehend such numbers. This author is going to demonstrate this
by writing out the numbers so they can be compared. This helps our understanding if we can see
it visually.
Francis Crick states that the odds would be 10^260 of an amino acid happening by chance.
That number would be written out as such:
Francis Crick goes on to state,
"This number is quite beyond our everyday comprehension. For
comparison, consider the number of fundamental particles (atoms, speaking
loosely) in the entire visible universe, not just in our own galaxy with its 10^11
stars, but in all the billions of galaxies, out to the limits of observable space. This
number, which is estimated to be 10^80, is quite paltry (or measly) by comparison
to 10^260. Moreover, we have only considered a polypeptide chain of a rather
modest length… The great majority of sequences can never have been
synthesized at all, at any time."ii
What is he saying here? He states there are 10^80 atoms in the visible universe, and the
chance of one amino acid chain forming is 10^260, which is such a huge number it is beyond all
comprehension. Even the number10^80, which are all the atoms in the visible universe, is so huge
as to be not comprehended by our minds.
We have 50 to 100 trillion cells in our bodies, and many atoms to a cell, and there are
many different kinds of cells with different structures of proteins. There just simply is not
enough time for proteins to have "evolved", let alone a single cell. Cells are the building blocks
of organisms, and, therefore, life. If there are no cells, there are no living organisms or life.
Let Us Compare Some Numbers
If the universe is 20 billion years old as (some of the)* the evolutionists' say, then let us see how many
seconds there are in 20 billion years. First you multiply 60 seconds in one minute, times 60
minutes in one hour. That gives us 3,600 seconds in an hour times 24 hours in a day which gives
us 86,400 seconds in a day. 86,400 seconds in a day times 365.25 days in a year gives us
31,557,600 seconds in a year times 20 billion years. That gives us 631,152,000,000,000,000
seconds of time in 20 billion years.
If there were an evolutionary change every second there is not enough time for anything
to "evolve". If evolution were still taking place, why is there not any new life forms arising every
day? It would take many billions of times 20 billion years for life to have evolved the way
evolutionists say it happened. There is only one answer. It had to have all been made by a great
This is how many changes there needed to be every second for just one
moderately sized polypeptide chain to be formed.
000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000
This would be written as approximately 10^242. This is a huge number so far
beyond our comprehension we could never understand it.
When you put it all together and look at it objectively, you can see what a "joke"
evolution really is. There would have to be many changes take place every second for evolution
to have taken place. For one modestly sized polypeptide chain to happen by chance there would
have to be 10^260 changes taking place before you even have a modestly sized polypeptide chain.
We don't see any changes happening today. This is some good evidence that it never happened.
We have never witnessed it taking place. It was tried in a laboratory, (i.e. the Stanley Miller
experiment) but it didn't really work.
Let us compare the numbers and get a visual comparison so our minds can sort of grasp
what the Law of Probabilities is showing us.
The odds of an amino acid sequence being selected by chance are 10^260 which are written
out as such.
The estimated number of atoms in the universe is 10^80 which is written out as such.
The number of seconds in 20 billion years is very small compared to the odds of an amino acid
This is the number of changes there needed to be every second of 20 billion years for one
moderately sized amino acid chain to be formed.
000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000
When you see the numbers written out and can look at them, you can see the magnitude of the
impossibleness of evolution happening at all as we are taught in schools and universities. To
"SEE" it written down so you can compare gives you a whole different perspective.

by this site.
After years of studying the subject of origins, I can tell you why a Darwinist will say, "We are working on that" or "There is some interesting work in this field being done" and then move on to another topic. Because there is no way to hurdle the barriers to the raw materials needed for DNA to even form and remain extant in the wild. Even before we consider the odds of them forming a DNA string and even before we consider the odds that such a string would actually have information contained within it to code for the millions upon millions of functions that it must get transmitted and the wide variety of choices for speciation contained in the genome and the meta-information and beyond that the cell and the cell wall protecting that cell so that the DNA/RNA process could operate. But wait! We need the cell to host the DNA/RNA operations but without DNA/RNA we have no way to build a cell! And by what means do we power this operation? We need the ATP Synthase motor to produce the raw cellular power and they require a cell to exist and DNA to code them.
As previously mentioned, this incredible impossibility is just the statistical improbability of one very small string of amino acids, not enough to code for a living organism. Not enough to code for one cell. With no means to actually put the sequence into an order that would mean anything. On top of that a human being has about ten microorganisms for each cell, so that the impossibility of one human being happening by chance is a far more unlikely event than the one pondered by Crick. By the laws of statistics even one small one-celled creature could not happen. So why do people believe it? How can people believe in such a ridiculous impossibility? It all comes back to worldviews again. Do you really want to bet your eternal life on such a flimsy premise as Darwinism? Seriously?
So my next posts will explore the Biblical model in terms of going through the classic "buts" that Theistic and Old Earth Creationists (OEC) will champion as opposed to my Young Earth Creationist (YEC) position. This should be of interest to believers who want to see the various positions held by non-YEC believers and why they hold them and of course why I think they should not!
My workload is such that I will be making shorter posts again for awhile (Lista should appreciate that and in fact I think my wife would prefer that and I am trying to make more shorter posts) and will focus on some objections raised by those who make a minimal commitment to creationism but with corollaries included. At some point within all of this I will do the Jon Woolf List of Questions and I want that one to be a good one so work and all the responsibilities we have with the weekend Summerfest limits my blogging time and therefore I will have to squeeze it in when I can grab the documentation and go for it! There are disadvantages to getting involved in the community because sometimes you have to work to make things happen. Fourth of July weekend means my wife and I are doing a lot of volunteering.
So the Fourth is coming soon and I hope you American citizens appreciate your freedom to do things like blog and comment on blogs and own a gun and have property and vote and speak your mind. The right to set off loud fireworks is definitely NOT APPRECIATED by my dogs, but they'll live through it. My grandkids love fireworks more than the dogs hate them, so there you go. I will be thanking God for the fact that I was born an American and raised to be a thinker rather than a drone and that God reached out to me and brought me into His family. Now me and my wife and all of my kids are all Christians and we are bringing in the grandkids, too. It is communicable and, once you are a Christian there really is no "cure."

Datagram is better if numbers of packets are not very large. As it is a connectionless service there is no need to prior call set up. Therefore, It is more flexible and provides alternate route to avoid the congested part of the network.
In virtual circuit a logical, path is setup prior the transmission and therefore, no routing decision is to make which ensure that packet are forwarded more quickly than datagram. The logical path between destination and source also assure the sequencing of packet and better error control. However, VC is less reliable because Interruption in a switching node looses all circuit through that node.

I want to implement a "threatre" mode for our MDI application. This will be like what IE does when one hits the F11 key. I have the basic stuff in place. My app fills the monitor and the active MDI child window does too.
But does the CodeJock frame class provide any direct support for this type of behavior. What I am looking for is some support so that when I move the cursor near the top of the screen, I see the menus/ribbon slide down so the user can access them (hit F11 in IE and move the cursor to the top of the screen). And I would like the same behavior when the user moves to the left or right of the screen wrt docking bars. That is, I want the tabs to slide out into view and allow the user to move over a docking bar tab and have it slide out too.
I looked at the CXTMDIFrameWnd class include file and searched the CJ source but didn't see anything that led me to believe CJ supports this. But it sure would be nifty if it did. Have I missed something?

Mike Hulme is a professor of climate change and director of the prestigious and controversial research Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research . The book is not a book on the science of climate change. If it were only about the science, Hulme argues, reaching agreement would be straightforward. Rather, disagreements on the science of climate change are symptoms of much more fundamental differences in human nature.
Such underlying reasons include:
- Different ways people look at science and understand its limitations
- Different ways people see the relation between (scientific) knowledge and policy
- Different ways people consider risk;
- Different ethical positions people take about their responsibility for future generations and are willing to invest for future welfare (quantified in the 'discount rate')
- Different beliefs in our duty to others, who's responsible for climate change and our religions
- Different world views, described by Douglas and Wildavsky's Cultural Theory
- Different ways people communicate about climate (no message is neutral) and interpret those messages
- Different ways people think climate change should be governed.
Cultural Theory distinguishes four dominant world views, expressed by the intensity of bonds between people (individualist vs collectivist) and the extent to which people believe that few or many rules are necessary to control behaviour.
- Fatalists: nature is a lottery, there is nothing we can do
- Hierarchists: experts can manage the outcomes if we get behind them
- Individualists: it's down to individuals and markets
- Egalitarians: altruism and common effort, built on social justice, are the way forward
The cultural dimension of climate change is also revealed by the language and images we use. Expressions like 'dangerous' climate change, 'save' the climate, 'tipping points' and 'fragile' climate express different views on climate. Greenpeace has used a range of images of the years, from the 'climate change bomb' to the polar bear to communicate climate change to different target groups.
In discussion on avoiding 'dangerous' climate change, questions such as whose climate (small island states, Western Europe, Saharan Africa…), dangerous for whom and what climate is desired (pre-industrial, Holocene…) are often glossed over.
These underlying differences have created various 'stories' about climate change, inspired by 4 basic human desires:
- nostalgia for a lost 'ideal' climate
- fear for the unknown future
- mastering and controlling nature
- call to respond to social injustice
Climate change has become a central concept in development as well. Climate change prominently features in calls for proposals or as a transversal theme in programmes. At first sight, this might seem strange. Does it make sense to invest funds in the welfare of future generations if current generations lack basic amenities such as basic healthcare and education. Investing in the economic development of the poor will enable them to protect themselves better against any natural disasters. Limiting fertility rates (as a result of economic development) is likely to do more for climate change than any planned 'development' intervention (as China likes to point out). Climate change mitigation and development are frequently in conflict each other. Projects under the Clean Development Mechanism rarely benefit the poorest. Increasing trade is bad for the carbon level in the atmosphere but has lifted millions out of poverty. The European decision to subsidize biofuels has pushed up food prices.
However, if you look at climate change as an idea (like 'democracy' or 'terrorism') that has as much to do with science as with culture, it makes more sense. Climate change as an idea carries a variety of meanings and interpretations. Then, climate change becomes a tool to advance development agendas of social justice, better functioning markets or public welfare.
As solution, the book gives some recipes from complexity science. Rather than aiming to find one global solution, a variety of approaches catering to different world views, ideas about governance, science etc. stands a better chance at curbing climate change. Climate change derives from various other problems, such as population growth, unsustainable energy, endemic poverty, food security, deforestation, biodiversity loss… Rather than framing climate change as a mega-problem, requiring a mega-solution, Hulme argues that disentangling the issue, moving climate change to the background, is more likely to yield effect.
If you like an intelligent take on why climate change is about so much more than debates on science, then this book is for you. For development people, discussions on the IPCC, the Stern Report and the disagreements between North and South are all there. Duncan Green from Oxfam also has a fine review of the book.

The Mutation of the "Moderate Muslim"
The mutation of the Moderate Muslim not only proves convenient for the asymptotic in the Counter-Jihad; it seems to have been created within the ambit of the Counter-Jihad. At least, that's where I have seen it most.
For the asymptotic in the Counter-Jihad, whose ethical conscience has been nagging at him, semi-consciously anxious about what would seem to portend were we to follow our reasonable prejudice based upon bloody fiery mountain ranges of inferential evidence leading us to condemn all Muslims, he cannot simply abandon the Moderate Muslim. The function it provides proves too important to him after all.
This poses a dilemma for the asymptotic in the Counter-Jihad, however, because being in the Counter-Jihad, he knows too much about Muslims to so glibly dismiss the concerns about them. And he has come to learn (if he doesn't remain at the Daniel Pipes stage of retardation, that is) that the "Moderate Muslim" demographic is laughably specious.
What to do? Luckily, there comes along a way to save vast swaths of Muslims from our condemnation (and, more importantly, to save ourselves from the ethical anxiety we may feel at being condemners of so many hundreds of millions of Brown People)—by simply repackaging the Moderate Muslim demographic as something else (while having the gall to pat oneself on the back as a no-nonsense hardliner): thus, the Lax Muslims will do; and the Muslims Who Don't Know Their Own Islam also come in handy; as well as the Muslims Who Are Too Afraid To Come Out of the Secularist Closet -- or more recently comes along the MINO ("Muslim In Name Only", echoing the RINO, the "Republican In Name Only" or false Conservative).
I'm sure there are many other permutations where these came from, and asymptotics will generate new ones in order to continue to indulge their De Nile.

"Attack them now... Kill the Dwarf filth while they sleep."
Narzug, Outside Beorn's house, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug
The Hunter Orcs of Middle Earth are a ruthless band of Orcs who serve Azog the Pale Orc and followed Fimbul and Yazneg. The Hunter Orcs that roam the lands east of The Misty Mountains are a particularly aggressive kind of Orc, they are wild hunters who don't really mind much what prey they're after, be it Hobbits, animals, men... they're not picky eaters.
Mounted on hoards of vicious Gundabad or Fell Wargs, they can quickly cover and control large territories. The hunter orcs do not speak common tongue but they speak an ancient orc language. Indicating they are proud of being orc and despise man. The fast-moving and fanatical Hunter Orcs serve as the right hand of Azog, a relentless band who will stop at nothing to slay his quarry.
Below is my progress for month 1 - to complete a full warband and hero to lead them. I have painted 12 hunter orcs on foot and converted a mounted Narzug to lead them.
Here are my progress pictures.

Everyone wants to work out and get in shape, however when it comes to really doing it, very few succeed. The main excuse for most is the fact that they do not have sufficient time for exercising one hour per day for 5-6 times a week. What if these people had a system that enabled them to get the exact same effects with just 25 mins of exercise five days a week? They have it now. It's Focus T25, a new workout program that's going to change the ways individuals exercise.
How Focus T25 Works
Any honest Focus T25 review is going to tell you that this system is made of twenty five minutes of non-stop movement. This exercise is very successful in terms of developing power and stamina, as well as losing inches and pounds, but it can prove to be a bit too challenging for beginners, who are certainly not conditioned to resists this type of a continual effort.
The very best benefit of Focus T25 is the fact that each video comes with a lower impact variation, namely the Tania modifier. This modifier is a lot easier than the main version of this program, therefore newcomers can begin with it and slowly work their way to the perseverance that'll give them the sought after rewards in wellness and appearance.
Focus T25 Benefits One Can Be Expecting To Get
Beachbody, the makers of this system, usually use test groups to be able to figure out exactly how their brand new products will impact the customers. This Focus T25 review won't go into the details of these tests but it is sufficient to say that there was a noticeable growth within as low as 1 calendar month of training courses.
The creators of the program are so comfortable with their work, that they offer a 30 day money back guarantee to all the people willing to give it a try. If it did not meet your needs, just ask for a reimbursement and you'll get it.
Advantages of Focus T25
You will not find a Focus T25 review that claims this program was too challenging, that is why it was impossible to follow it through. On the contrary, Focus T25 is one of the simplest exercise programs on the market, created to work for numerous levels of physical fitness as well as for different types of people. Busy moms, active business owners, gamers or couch potatoes, every one of them could find their individual rhythm and easily stick to Focus T25 Review enough time to obtain noticeable results. Since there is no need to have costly or bulky gear, the program is not difficult to adhere to by anybody that is willing to do something special for his or her health. People who have hectic agendas will have the ability to follow it through, because they can do it when they have some spare time throughout each day, without having to arrange appointments with individual trainers in far away gyms. 25 minutes each day for five times a week is all you need to have to be able to improve the overall way you look and feel. Stick to it for long enough and you will turn it into a long-term habit that will help keep you in awesome shape.

Blessing for North Hawai`i Education and Research Center
UH Hilo Home > News and Events > UH Hilo Press Releases
Date: Thursday, July 15, 2004
Contact: Gerald De Mello, (808) 974-7567
For Immediate Release
A blessing will be held to celebrate the renovation and construction of the North Hawai`i Education and Research Center (NHERC), formerly the old Honoka`a Hospital, on Thursday, August 12, at 10:00 a.m. The event is free and open to the public.
The festivities mark the beginning of $1.75 million in renovations to the building, which will include construction of classrooms, computer labs for Web-based education, a multi-purpose room and offices.
The University of Hawaii at Hilo , in concert with the community, developed the Center concept to provide opportunities in higher education and to come up with new approaches to meeting the challenges of Hawai`i's economy in the 21st century.
"This is an important development for both UH Hilo and the North Hawai`i community," said Chancellor Rose Tseng. "We're very excited about establishing a university presence in an area traditionally under-served by higher education, and the opportunity to play a role in its community development activities."
The North Hawai`i region includes the communities of Laupahoehoe, Honoka`a, Waimea, Kohala and Waikoloa. With its central location, the Center will take advantage of the workforce community initiatives established by State Representative Dwight Takamine, the wellness activities in Waimea initiated by Five Mountains Medical Group and the aging population of the North Hawai`i community.
"When you look at the big picture, the Center has become part of a larger strategy that is re-shaping the entire North Hawai`i community," said Gerald De Mello, director of university relations. "Waimea is already recognized as a health care community through the addition of its acute care facility and Five Mountains. Similarly, the Center will become the anchor that transforms Honoka`a into a full-service educational community by adding higher education to its existing K-12 institutions."
The availability of the vacant hospital building helped expedite the project by providing an existing structure in reasonably good repair. Romel Dela Cruz, director of Hale Ho`ola Hamakua, the long-term care facility next to NHERC, sees a symbolic parallel.
"The old hospital site is an appropriate venue for this initiative because it served for so many years to meet the well-being of the community in a health context," said Dela Cruz. "Its re-birth as a research and educational facility truly symbolizes the community's recovery from the devastating impact of the sugar industry's demise ten years ago."
A combined 1,200 jobs were lost due to the shutdown of large scale sugar operations. Workers have been sustained in part through job training, out-reach programs and grassroots community development. But community leaders concluded that any effective recovery plan must include an educational component.
The credit and non-credit programs offered at the facility will serve college students, advanced placement (AP) high school students, adult learners, trade union members, seniors, and displaced workers with in-service training for professionals, ag extension support services and training, and computer classes.
Economic benefits will be generated in part by attracting visitors to the area who will provide new sources of revenue for local merchants. Additionally, the Center will host a constant flow of varied users who are expected to be drawn to it by activities including special events, programs, conferences, retreats and town meetings.
"This is a classic win-win situation," Tseng said. "You have an initiative that matches the needs of the community with the mission of the University, and an empty building in an ideal location. The Center is definitely an idea whose
time has come."

It's that time again!
Count on lots of bitching, half-assed programmer art, and plenty of punitive calls for termination. Gameface Status: On.
Switched to the Andrea theme by Mr. Marin since it displays my code better and with less scrolling. Plus blue. :3
I ran into an interesting issue very recently. I needed a way to check if a string was a number. Piece of cake. Skip to the bottom for the solution.
>> parseInt("10")
> 10
So far so good.
>> parseInt("hurr");
> NaN
Excellent. With a little Underscore JS action...
>> !_.isNaN(parseInt("w")
> false
>> parseInt("w10")
> NaN
>> parseInt("10a")
> 10
Wait what?
>> parseInt("10b")
> 10
Uhh. Must be interpreting the 'a' or 'b' as hex?
>> parseInt("10w")
> 10
Well what about Underscore's internal _isNumber?
>> _.isNumber("10k");
> false
HAH! Great. Let's check the base case...
>> _.isNumber("10");
> false
Well, after a great deal of deliberation, I threw together the following effective, if gross method:
_.reduce(x, function(memo, val) {return memo && !_.isNaN(parseInt(val))}, true);
Or, wrapped more nicely:
isNum = function(x) {return _.reduce(x, function(memo, val) {return memo && !_.isNaN(parseInt(val))}, true)}
>> isNum("10a")
> false
>> isNum("10")
> true
>> isNum(10)
> true
Addendum: This method may plausibly be faster, considering Underscore defers to the native every when available, and allows for early-out:
isNum = function(x){ return _.every(x, function(y){ return !_.isNaN(parseInt(y)); }); }

The Reunion Wagon Rolls On
The BBC reports on the glut of reunions. I have to agree with Phil Collins: Sting isn't reuniting with the Police for money. If he was worried about money he wouldn't be touring with his lute, now would he? They've all got plenty of cash for the rest of their lives. Sure, the money is fun, but a solo tour makes lots of money for Sting too. By the way, the Police have found their rehearsal space in Vancouver. Oh and Crowded House aren't just touring -- they're also working on a new album.

Blac Chyna Accuses Rob Kardashian of Undergoing Weight Loss Surgery
Blac Chyna has accused Rob Kardashian of spending $100,000 on weight loss surgery.
The formerly engaged couple have been faced with a number of obstacles since they split up for good in February (17), with various lawsuits filed including one regarding custody of their daughter Dream, who turns one in November, and a restraining order against Rob after he leaked explicit photos of Chyna online.
Now, in documents filed by Chyna, real name Angela White, she claims the reality TV star dropped $100,000 on procedures to get trim, but publicly said his weight loss was down to exercise and diet.
This comes after sock designer Rob revealed Chyna had post-baby surgery after welcoming their little girl by sharing photos of her in a hospital gown on Instagram.
"In fact, Rob Kardashian himself underwent weight loss surgery that cost $100,000, whereas Ms. White's surgery was for a lesser amount," the lawsuit, obtained by Mail Online, stated.
The documents also allege that Chyna underwent minor cosmetic surgery, including a breast reduction and "small amount" of liposuction around her belly button.
"Ms. White is a well-known social media influencer and trendsetter who professionally endorses health, lifestyle, and diet products in her Instagram and Twitter accounts. Accordingly, the manner in which Rob Kardashian revealed Ms. White's personal medical information jeopardized Ms. White's endorsement deals with several weight loss, fitness, and diet companies – that all pay Ms. White to promote their products on social media."
Rob, 30, previously claimed he forked out on Chyna's surgery on their anniversary, only for her to leave him. He also insisted Chyna only had a child with him "out of spite" to get back at former beau Tyga, who is also the ex-boyfriend of Rob's half-sister Kylie Jenner and the father of Chyna's son King Cairo, five.
This is the latest lawsuit for the 29-year-old model, who recently filed lawsuits against the entire Kardashian family following the cancellation of her and Rob's reality show, Rob & Chyna.

Check Your Credit Score 6 Months Before Trying to Buy a Home
Nearly 3 out of 10 Americans have a credit score of 620 or lower, and are unlikely to qualify for a conventional mortgage loan.
And the lowest mortgage rates usually go to people with credit scores of 740 or higher. According to myFICO.com, in September 2010, 47% of Americans had a credit score over 720, but as of September 2013, that number is 40.3 percent.
When you're ready to buy a home, you want to avoid any unpleasant surprises, so it's important to make sure your credit is in good standing.
At least 6 months before trying to purchase a home, check your credit score. Fix any mistakes, and make sure you keep paying all your bills on time. Also, don't take out any loans or new credit before closing on your new home.

It should come as no shock to anyone that the obesity epidemic has been increasing on a worldwide scale. A recent study published in the Bulletin of the World Health Organization has found that there is a relationship between food regulation and obesity- the less food regulation a country has, the greater the increase in obesity has been over the past years1,2. The study looked specifically at regulation of the fast food market, and per capita fast food transactions compared to body mass index (BMI). While the average number of fast food transactions and BMI did increase per capita in all 25 countries in the study, countries where there are stricter food regulations, such as Italy, Greece, the Netherlands, and Belgium, saw a much lower increase in both areas. The countries with the largest increases were Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland1,2. The researchers on the study are now urging governments to enforce stricter food regulations in order to slow, and hopefully reverse, the obesity epidemic. Recommendations have included banning all unhealthy foods and sugary drinks from public places (schools, hospitals, etc.), taxes on fats, incentives for growers to grow healthier and fresher produce, and a reduction in unhealthy food marketing (specifically to children and teens)1,2.

Hello and welcome to one of the most fascinating cities in North America!
I have loved San Francisco since my first visit and I hope you will enjoy The City by the Bay as much as my family and I do.
I sincerely hope we will have the opportunity to show you the San Francisco we treasure, with it's soothing fog, rolling hills, wonderful mix of cultures, languages and lifestyles. From my travels around the world, I've met so many people and encourage them to visit us in beautiful San Francisco. So many of them have listened as San Francisco is one of the top visited cities in the world and I hope you will visit us as well.
It has always been my goal that everyone visiting feels they have a personal friend to guide them around this city and that is exactly what our tours allow. Our Segway tours are an incredible way to explore San Francisco. We know that visiting San Francisco is often a once in a lifetime experience, and though it's a beautiful thing; it can be exhausting. It's crowded, diverse, and the steep hills can be intimidating. Our Segway tours are the perfect solution to that problem. They help guests literally glide from site to site, all the while having the time of their lives.
I remember the first time I saw Segways; I knew instantly that they were perfect for our tours! After being the first company in the world to offer Segway tours, we have grown and perfected them for touring in all our cities, San Francisco and beyond.
All of our tours are aimed at giving each customer the best private and personal experience while they visit San Francisco. I am proud of our entire team as we offer the best customer service through limited group sizes, unparalleled tour guides, and a fantastic attention to detail.
I look forward to welcoming you on our tours and to creating the same memories for you and your friends and family that have made us world famous since 1999.

text: Home > Experts > Question Question Posted by: m | 2010/06/22 kilojoules hoeveel kilojoules mag ''n vrou per dag in neem, as sy oefen of nie oefen nie. wat is die gesondste Not what you were looking for? Try searching again, or ask your own question Our expert says: FitnessDoc Hi mThe most basic way of looking at calories and weight loss is to say that to lose weight, you need to eat fewer calories than you burn. You put calories in by eating and you burn them by exercise, and by just going about daily living. Now, to lose weight, you need to address both sides of this equation. In otherwords, you must both increase what you burn (by means of exercise) and you must decrease what you consume. However, the reality is probably not quite as simple as this. Hi thereThere is no answer to this one, because it depends completely on the person, their situation and their diet. Let's say your diet gives you 2000Cal per day. During 24 hours, you might burn about 1600 Cal WITHOUT exercise. That would mean 400 need to be burned during exercise, in order to reach perfect balance. This is the idea in theory, but there are 3 reasons why it just doesn't work to think like this, and only causes problems.First of all, it's impossible to know exactly how many calories you take in. You would have to weigh all your food, and that is a nightmare to do. You would have to sit and weigh each part of your meal, know exactly what you eat and drink and then sit with a calculator and work out how many calories you've taken it.Secondly, it is even more impossible to know how many calories you have burned during the day. Even during exercise, it's not possible to measure with 100% accuracy how many calories you have burned, because the heart rate monitors and machines are just guesses or estimates. And that's not even talking about the other 23 hours a day, where you burn far more calories. So this makes it impossible.And lastly, it really doesn't work as simply as this anyway. The body is so well created that it can match intake to use over many many years. If you think about it, someone who remains at a stable weight over a period of just 10 years, is probably eating an average of 8 or 9 million calories during this period. In order to remain at the same weight, the body is somehow balancing this amount by using about 8 or 9 million calories too! So, it's staggering that the body is able to do this as efficiently as this, and for this reason, being very particular about counting calories all the time is probably a lost cause. It's also the reason why sudden crash diets, where you cut right back on eating and live on lettuce every day, for example, will not work. The body simply adjusts its metabolism and so you use fewer calories. This also promotes weight gain when you do eventually start eating again.So, rather than taking drastic steps, you have to realize that slow and steady progress is the key. It is a useful idea to become educated about what you are putting into your body, and then to be sure that it's not excessive. The general recommendation is that for a sedentary, inactive person, you should aim for about 29 calories per kilogram (A 70 kg person, for example, would need about 2000 Cal per day). If you check out your diet, and read up how much you are putting in, and it's around 2500 or even 3000, then you will never lose weight (or you would have to exercise like a demon, which is probably not an option). It's also not a good idea to be consuming way under 2000 Cal per day, because this will cause the body to slow its metabolism down, as I mentioned earlier.So, the key is to cut down on those calories very slightly (and this is simple enough to do if you take practical steps – slightly smaller portions, less variety, eat foods like apples and citrus fruits that are high in fibre etc.), and to increase your energy expenditure by means of exercise. Just 30 to 45 minutes, 4 or 5 times a week is enough to increase your overall energy expenditure by a large amount. For example, 30 minutes of walking burns about 300 Cal, and the effects last longer than just the actual exercise time. Therefore, if you are inactive now, and you suddenly start exercise by walking 30 minutes, you will be using 300 Cal more than you were previously. At the most simple, this means that if you diet stays the same, you will lose weight.I hope that this has helped a little – I have tried to just give you a general idea. For a specific diet and eating plan, a dietician is far more qualified than I am to advise you, and I would suggest getting in contact with one to discuss this.Good luck The information provided does not constitute a diagnosis of your condition.

Michael Fassbender has been talking quite a bit about what to expect in the upcoming sequel to Prometheus. Now, new pictures show that it's going to be pretty terrifying.
Potential spoilers ahead.
The Daily Mail (Head over to their site to take a look) captured a bunch of new photos from the set, showing off what appears to be a massacre, near some sort of temple with some alien hieroglyphs. The carnage looks pretty horrifying, as though a group of people were burned alive. Another image shows two figures attacking one another, as well as giant sculptures, much like what we saw in Prometheus.
It'll be interesting to see just what this turns out to entail, but it certainly looks like they're aiming for that 'R' rating.
[Daily Mail, via The RPF]
Alien: Covenant is scheduled to open on October 6th, 2017.

The official opening of the Somervell County Historical Library and Research Center, which includes the former Somervell County Heritage Center, is expected to be in July.
The center, which houses extensive volumes of county history, genealogical records and obituaries, will be inside the Somervell County Library at 108 Allen Drive in Glen Rose.
Joan Taylor, volunteer coordinator of the center, said that July will also be the time frame for an open house, with the exact date yet to be announced.
"Once we get it completely organized, we will have an open house. Hopefully toward the end of the month it will be ready for people to come in," Taylor said Monday.
Volunteers packed up the items for the move, and county employee John Morales along with a couple of helpers loaded the material and transported it to the new location.
"We could not have done any of this without volunteers," Taylor said. "The community came together."
Another crucial factor was that Somervell County Librarian Peggy Oldham made room for the material, clearing out two rooms inside the library.
One of those rooms had been for meetings and the other was where the large-print books were kept. A couple of large closets were also cleared out to be used for extra storage space for the center's material.
Approximately 300 boxes filled with unnecessary material accumulated over 23 years were discarded, made possible with "muscle" provided by about 50 Glen Rose High School football players who volunteered to help.
The trim-down process also includes a book sale will be held at the old downtown Heritage Center Library building today through Saturday (9 a.m.-3 p.m.). All proceeds go to support the Paluxy Valley Archives and Genealogy Society.
Volunteers who operate the center learned last November that the contents would have to be moved out of the former downtown building at 100 N.E. Barnard St. by July 1.
That's because Somervell County Commissioners voted by a 5-0 margin that the building had to be vacated so it could be put up for sale.
"We just couldn't see them closing it," Taylor said. "It's very dear to most people. Somervell County has more people who were born here, stay here and die here than any place I've ever lived.
"This is a new chapter in the book for the locals. You become complacent if you don't change. I'm excited about this. I hated leaving. I loved that building."
Genealogy service will be offered at the new location as well. Betty Gosdin serves as a certified genealogist for the center.
"We have to get this over to the young people," Taylor added. "We have to pass this on to them. I think it will be something the community is going to be proud of. I think people will be surprised at what we've put together."
The move will also include items belonging to the Somervell County Historical Commission, as well as the historic Vernon Lemens Legislative Library. Both had been in the downtown location.
Lemens, a former Somervell County politician, was elected to the Texas House of Representatives in 1929. He became a member of the Texas Senate in 1936. The Lemens Library includes not only his papers and records, but also the desk he used in his Austin office. A place has been cleared in the center of the Somervell County Library for the desk.
Somervell County Librarian Peggy Oldham said that the process of moving the contents of the center into the library turned out well.
"They've got it looking pretty nice. It's going to be OK," Oldham said. "They really had a big job. They had so much. It's an overwhelming job."
Taylor said the center will need more volunteers. Anyone interested finding out more can reach her by calling the library at 254-897-9073.
The hours of operation will be the same as the Somervell County Library — 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday through Wednesday; 11 a.m.-7 p.m. Thursday; and 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Friday. Both the library and the center will be closed on Saturday and Sunday.

Greenpeace has leaked hundreds of pages from the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) negotiations.
The TTIP is a bi-lateral trade agreement between the EU and US that aims to reduce regulatory barriers to trade, including food safety regulations, banking regulations, environmental legislation and the sovereign power of individual nations. The agreement is designed to support business in the EU and the US, but it would particularly benefit US corporations trading in Europe, where the economy is generally more regulated.
However, there has been a broad array of objections to the TTIP, including the consequences for food safety and the environment, the risks of removing restrictions on bankers that were put in place after the financial crisis, unemployment as jobs move to the US, and the further breaking up of public services such as the UK's NHS by opening them up to US companies.
Detractors also perceive a threat to democracy through the introduction of Investor-State Dispute Settlements (ISDS), which would allow companies to sue governments for policies that result in a loss of profits.
The negotiations have been happening largely in secret. But the leaked documents publicly reveal certain details for the first time, such as that American companies would have as much input in EU regulation as Europeans, while no mention at all is made of global efforts to reduce CO2 emissions.
However, negotiations could be on the brink of collapse, according to campaigners, especially following this leak.

Format the car sale ad properly and increase your chances of a quick sale. People use search queries to quickly find the model they are interested in buying. So if you don't specify the model name in the ad properly then chances are that your ad won't turn up in search results. Examples: "honda 125"(bad), "honda cbr125r"(good), "beemer"(bad), "bmw"(good). A buyer would be more interested in car sale ads that includes following information:-
- Title format: The one line title of the car ad should give as much information as possible. The minimum information that it should have is Year, Make, Model and Price. Example: "1992 Honda Prelude SR 150k miles, moving sale $2500 – (Seattle, WA)"
- Odometer reading: Include odometer reading total ~ km's or miles.
- Pictures: Include pictures of the car. Pictures can save lot of time from unnecessary communication. Craigslist listing/search has an option to filter out ads without pictures and lot of buyers do use it. If you have customized car then post pictures showing the customized part. If the car has been in a (minor) accident or fender-bender then post pictures of before and after repair. This might get buyers interested into the car who would otherwise get spooked by mere mention of accident / claims.
- Car history report: If you know that the car has clean title then spend $50 and obtain a car history report from services like Car Fax reports or Car Proof. Mention in your car ad that the history report is available for the buyer to view. Also giving out VIN# in email to the prospective buyer should be fine.
- Contact information: Preferably provide both email and phone number in the ad or atleast email. If using craigslist site then use there anonymized email.

Another major win – If I can manage a win per week, I will be happy – was discovering the local naturist swim.
I'd intended to go back in November, where instead I broke my leg, and then had somehow been busy every time the session was on since.
Signing up was a bit like joining the Masons, or something – Not meant to say exactly when it is, or where, and specifically not meant to say who was there. Arriving, I said "One to swim, please!" and got the guilty-sounding reply of "The normal swim, or…"
I quickly confirmed that I did mean the naturist swim, and suddenly everyone was all smiles and welcome – I was led through to the poolside, introduced to everyone with a broad arm gesture, then generally got to swimming.
As ever, I was the fastest person in the water, and one of the youngest (Though there was a handful who were definitely younger than me, or about the same age), and it was generally lovely to feel warm water, and steam, and to be around other people for a short and defined period of time, having light-hearted, basically meaningless conversation. Everyone was slightly over-keen to engage in conversation, but they avoided the usual topics (Crippledom, tattoos) and instead I discovered that a huge number of the local naturists are also bikers (I knew that there was a big naturist-biker overlap, but it'd hadn't occurred to me what that would mean in practise). Which was a delightful realisation. My complete inability to remember names means that all the bikers are now stored in my memory by their scoots, and all the non-bikers are stored by vaguely where they live. I'm sure I'll get people's names eventually, and they seem like generally the type of people that would forgive me for forgetting. I ended up nicknamed within about ten minutes of meeting him by an old gent who looked like a second world war flying ace, and was generally accepted by everyone there basically immediately.
It is basically true that, absent social clues like clothes, we all start being much nicer to each other. Or possibly just that the kind of people who go to naturist events are more prone to be nice to each other in the first place. I was (slightly awkwardly) hugged by a woman who was probably about my age, and who swapped numbers with me and who immediately wanted to be friends. I must admit, I was about as gleeful – We'd both admitted to not seeing people very often, being not-far-off-housebound, and generally finding it difficult to get into conversations. It was refreshing to have this just be "another fact" rather than a point of shame.
The bath itself is one of the late Victorian ones, with the massive skylight, wrought-iron galleries, and plumes of warm steam in the air, making the swim itself look a bit like an odd re-enactment of Jean-Léon Gérôme's Harem Bath painting, complete with people showering in the background, small groups sitting chatting with their feet in the water, and (sadly) one person limping around in the foreground, being held up by one of their fellows, in this case with a dislocated hip. It took about ten minutes in the steam room to heat it up and put it back together, but other than that it was just a lovely evening out.
Definitely going back next time. It's a short, pleasant ride away from home, at a convenient time, and with nice people. Plus, it's exercise – After three months of no-swimming after three years of swimming at least three nights a week, I am feeling floppy and useless. Hopefully this will make me more mobile and fitter again, as well as giving me a designated time to go out, forcing me to interact with other humans, and getting me some very simple regular bike time.
All good. Hopefully, it'll stay good.

I have difficulty understanding how McCain is targeting the millennial generation. When I look through my lens, it's like he doesn't even exist. His marketing campaign is so skewed that his presence is invisible to me.
Barack Obama on the other hand, is overtly present. Every time I log on to facebook, my sidebar is adorned with some sort of pro-Obama promotion. A quick 20 refreshes on my profile, and Obama's presence was there a whopping 17 times, compared to McCain's zero. And in case you're wondering, I don't indicate any sort of political preference in my information.
I, like most of my generation, rely heavily on social media sites. I'll check facebook an average of 20 -30 times per day. When I watch TV, it's digitally recorded, so I skip through the commercials. Actually, I get more of my entertainment from places like Netflix and hulu.
To me, it's like McCain doesn't even care about my vote. If he did, wouldn't he want to interact with me? I've told you how to reach me. Now where are you? I'm an undecided voter, a prime target. But you're spending your advertising budget in ways that I'll never see you. Barack seems to care. He's interacting with me. So you've essentially given my vote to him simply because you didn't show up.
So just what does this impact mean? Well, there are 42 million members of Gen Y who could vote this year. According to a recent survey from MeriTalk, 73% of Gen Y respondents plan to vote in the next election.
That's over 30 million votes that John McCain is ignoring.
Not smart marketing if you ask me.

Pretty much every Wednesday morning during term time for the last three and a half years, I've been taking, first the big Tonju, and now the little one, to a playgroup in my area. This playgroup, I have to say, is simply the best one I've been to. It is held in a chapel and the pastor who runs it couldn't possibly be more enthusiastic and engaging with both the children and the parents. Everyone talks to everyone and there is such an informal and welcoming atmosphere that new parents feel at ease on their first visit. It has been a great blessing to be able to attend such a place, and has really helped me personally, with big Tonju's transition to nursery, knowing so many local mums and also the vibrant community initiatives, including the playgroup, which are going on underneath my nose.
One admirable such initiative is something I'm aware of because of attending the playgroup. Local supermarkets donate food which is close to its expiry date to a local forum with which the chapel, and particularly the pastor, are heavily involved. The food is distributed equally into 30 bags, with a range of items in each bag, and the bags are then handed out to people who are not in the position to be able to afford the contents of the bags for the full price. A fantastic use of food which would ordinarily go to landfill, which is outrageous in itself. Anyway, because the chapel is the "distribution centre" for these bags of food, it means the chapel is left with an amount of food left over each week which they haven't been able to add to any bags, I believe due to the sheer amount of food they've been given. The playgroup then lays out what they have left, and parents can take their pick and make a donation to the forum, which goes back into the community.
So last week I left with my bag of goodies, which included a packet of fresh linguine, and, since I usually purchase dry rather than fresh pasta, I thought it would be a good opportunity to come up with something original, rather than following a recipe. I then decided the recipe should be made up only of items I already had at home, and that it should include fish, and be creamy. I had a quick browse in the fridge, freezer and cupboards, and thus, Creamy Cod with Leeks and Linguine was born. And if you want some justification for cooking it, Husb said I should cook a meal like this every night, so it went down well!
1 cod fillet per person, fresh or defrosted from frozen
Handful prawns per person
Bag fresh linguine
1 - 2 onions
2 -3 leeks
300 ml chicken stock
100ml white wine
100ml double cream
One large or two small bay leaves
Grated parmesan
Fresh flat-leaf parsley
20g butter and/or slug of olive oil
Place a deep frying pan on the hob and put butter and/or olive oil on a medium heat, taking not to burn the butter.
Slice onion and leek and add to pan along with the bay leaves.
Cook gently for around ten minutes until onion and leeks are soft. Season.
Whilst the onions and leeks are cooking prepare the white wine and stock, ready to add to the pan.
Once you've seasoned the veg, add the white wine, increase the heat so it gently bubbles, and reduce until most of the wine has evaporated.
Add the stock to the pan, then place the fish and prawns as much beneath the surface as possible.
Bring to the boil, cover, and simmer gently for around seven minutes, until the fish and prawns are cooked. At the same time as adding the fish, put on a saucepan of water for the linguine, and bring to the boil.
Remove the cod fillets and place them aside for a few minutes, turn up the heat and reduce the sauce to make it much thicker.
Add linguine to boiling water, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 2 -3 minutes.
Measure out cream.
Return the cod to the pan and flake into smallish pieces, around 1", and mix in.
Add the cream and mix it all in nicely.
Warm back up to serving temperature and drain the linguine.
Serve. Place the linguine into bowls, top with the creamy fish and finish with a generous sprinkling of parmesan and chopped flat-leaf parsley.
Please ignore that rather conspicuous bottle of Bishop's Finger ale: it was actually for a steak and ale casserole I made this evening, and I tend to choose the most reasonably priced ale when using it for cooking, as neither Husb or I would actually drink it! I had yet to put it away.
The general consensus
The fresh linguine worked really well with the children, as fresh pasta has more of a tendancy to stick together than dried, which meant it clumped together a little and could be chopped up and easily combined with the fish and leek sauce. This made it much easier for the boys to get a good mouthful of everything on their forks. I have to say, they loved it. Big Tonju declared it was the best meal ever; quite an accolade!
If it's helpful, for a family of four with two adults and two under fives, I used three cod fillets and two generous handfuls of prawns. Just use as much as you know you like to eat. The same with the leeks. It's not the kind of meal where the amount of main ingredients will affect the outcome particularly, other than giving you a larger portion on your plate. If you only have dried linguine to hand, use that, or indeed any other pasta shape you like. I think it's a really liberating feeling to know one doesn't need to stick rigidly to a recipe, but can rather use it as a guide, amending where one sees fit (or knows better!)
I hope you enjoy it, thanks for reading :)

National Parks Pass
An annual "America the Beautiful" pass good for U.S. national parks and federal recreation lands costs most people $80. But not if you're 62 or older, in which case a lifetime membership costs only $10. As an added bonus, the pass also applies to a car of non-senior adults as long as the pass holder is aboard. Not at a drive-in area? Up to three adults can accompany the pass holder without paying. The pass also cuts 50 percent off most in-park amenities, including camping, swimming and boat launch.
This replaces the former "Golden Age" passport. Travelers can pick the pass up in person at the entrance to any national park.

One more defendant in Kazan Cathedral terror plot case to be imprisoned
ST. PETERSBURG, December 6 (RAPSI) – A native of Tajikistan having Russian citizenship Firuz Kalavurov has been sentenced to 3.5 years in penal colony for failure to report plotting of a terror attack in St. Petersburg's Kazan Cathedral to police, the United press service of St. Petersburg courts has told RAPSI.
Moreover, a court found that Kalavurov was keeping explosive in his apartment.
Kalavurov is the only defendant in the case, who pleaded not guilty. Other defendants cooperated with investigators and made confession.
According to prosecutors, Russian citizen Yevgeny Yefimov decided to commit a terror attack on November 8, 2017. Investigators claimed that he planned bombing to happen on December 16 but failed to actualize his plan as he was arrested on December 14. He repeatedly discussed the crime's details with Kalavurov and two other defendants Shamil Omargadzhiyev and Aliskhan Esmurziyev.
On June 27, Esmurziyev received 2 years in penal colony settlement and a 50,000-ruble fine ($750) as part of the case. The defendant pleaded guilty to failure to report a crime.
Yefimov was given 5 years in a high security penal colony on August 9.
Omargadzhiyev was found guilty of failure to report a planned terror attack and illegal possession of the Kalashnikov assault rifle in late June. In September, the St. Petersburg City Court mitigated his 2.5-year prison sentence by 6 months and reduced a fine imposed on the defendant from 50,000 to 30,000 rubles ($450).
