This program will facilitate transfer, minimize duplication of instruction and build on community college and university learning experiences. To qualify, students must complete a specified list of equivalent courses at COD, earning grades no less than a "B." Students must also enroll full-time (12 or more semester hours).
College of DuPage will assign each student with a transfer advisor to assist with course selection and registration, as well as offer general guidance until his or her transfer to UIUC.
For more information, please contact Engineering Pathways at [email protected].
"The fact that College of DuPage has a direct transfer program into U of I engineering is a testimony to the quality of the Engineering program at COD. The Engineering program at COD is just as good as, if not better than, most four-year institutions."
"The engineering and science departments have some really awesome professors, and without them I would not be on the path I am taking today."

Washington, DC (Oct. 6, 2017)—Today, Rep. Elijah E. Cummings, the Ranking Member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, released a letter to the White House, the Director of National Intelligence, the National Background Investigations Bureau, and the Defense Security Services following alarming statements from Defense Security Services Director Daniel Payne that “murderers,” “rapists,” and “pedophiles” are currently being given access to sensitive classified information through interim security clearances.
The Committee’s Subcommittee on National Security is scheduled to hold a hearing on security clearances on Wednesday, October 11, 2017.
Cummings requested that Payne, White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, and Director of National Intelligence Daniel Coats provide a wide range of documents relating to this issue, including specific information about any individuals with criminal convictions or others with serious security risks who have been granted interim security clearances.

Pre-settlement funding can ease the strain on your pocketbook while you wait for a lawsuit to settle.
Even with strong cases, processing a lawsuit takes time. A personal injury litigation can go on for months and sometimes years. In the meantime, you’re still responsible for bills and managing a household, in addition to paying lawyers fees. If your injury prevents you from working, you may also be missing an income during this time. Pre-settlement funding — also referred to as a lawsuit or litigation advance — is a way to receive immediate cash for structured settlement payments pending the outcome of a legal action.
The pre-settling funding company you choose to work with will coordinate with your attorney to review your case.
The pre-settlement funding company will submit a written agreement to purchase some of your settlement in exchange for an up-front payment to you.
You sign the agreement with your lawyer.
The company delivers the funds to your attorney’s office, who in turn will give you the payment.
Is Pre-Settlement Funding Right for Me?
Does my attorney agree with my decision to pursue pre-settlement funding?
What are the online reviews for the company I’m considering working with?
Is my case “high risk”? This may affect fees.
Am I able to secure funds in other ways, such as a private loan?
Lawsuit settlements are valuable assets. If you need cash now to meet immediate financial needs, you may be eligible to receive a cash advance of up to $30,000 against your future structured settlement payments. If the case is settled in your favor, CBC Settlement Funding as the funder will reclaim this money, along with a fee for our services.
CBC Settlement Funding assumes a certain amount of risk in this type of transaction. A pre-lawsuit settlement transaction is classified as a “non-recourse arrangement.” This means if you are unsuccessful in your lawsuit, you do not have to pay back the cash advance and CBC Settlement Funding loses the lawsuit cash advance we paid you.
Depending on the nature of your lawsuit and individual circumstances, you may wish to look into other alternatives before deciding on a pre-settlement funding arrangement. Seek counsel from your attorney to discuss options that best suit your financial situation. Our staff at CBC can arrange pre-settlement funding within 3 – 5 business days if you choose this option. If for some reason you do not win your case, you will not have to pay back the money.
What’s the Difference Between A Lawsuit Cash Advance and Payday Loan?
There is a significant difference between a litigation cash advance and a payday loan. If you have ever dealt with a payday lender, you were required to provide a social security number and other employment information. This way, the payday lender can collect its share directly the next time your employer pays you.
You will not have to provide this information when you apply for a cash advance because it is non-recourse. When a judge rules in favor of the defendant, the plaintiff is not required to repay the advance, and the structured settlement company providing the funding must bear the loss.
How Much are CBC Settlement Funding’s Pre-Settlement Fees?
CBC Settlement Funding does take on risk offering pre-settlement funding, and incurs a cost to provide these funds to our clients ahead of time. To cover these costs, CBC Settlement Funding charges nominal fees after a settlement is awarded. We do not believe in hidden fees. Our rates vary from case to case depending on the amount of funds you are requesting and how long it may take for the case to resolve. For a complete estimate tailored to your case, please contact a representative from CBC Settlement Funding.
What Do I Need To Know About Pre-Settlement Funding?
There Are No Out-of-Pocket Expenses – You do not have to pay anything upfront. The accumulated funding fees are paid to us from your settlement.
There is No Risk – Unlike loans that must be repaid, a lawsuit advance provider doesn’t get paid if there is no settlement. CBC Settlement Funding assumes all the risk and will only receive money if the case is settled.
Pre-Settlement is Not for Legal Fees – Most legal expenses are paid on a contingency basis once your settlement is made. Use your pre-settlement funding money to pay household bills, credit card balances and other expenses. For clients who are facing foreclosure, the advance can help them remain in their home.
No Case Involvement – We do not get involved in your case. CBC will only verify with your lawyer the details of your case to determine if you’re a candidate for pre-settlement funding.
No Credit Checks – As opposed to banks, CBC Settlement Funding does not check your credit as a part of our approval process.
What If I Don’t Win My Lawsuit?
If you do not win your lawsuit, you pay nothing, and CBC Settlement Funding absorbs the expense as a loss. Unlike payday loans, secured loans and cash advances, a litigation cash advance is a “non-recourse” arrangement. This means when CBC Settlement Funding provides you with cash for settlement payments against a pending court award, our company assumes the risk the judge may decide in favor of the defendant.
How Do I Pay Back The Money From A Settlement Cash Advance?
If you have applied for and received a settlement cash advance from CBC Settlement Funding, you will repay the advance from your court award or settlement, along with any additional fees. Repayment only occurs if your lawsuit is successful.
CBC Settlement Funding can provide you with a cash advance against your future settlement payments. Contact us today for more information on customized cash options to fit your financial needs.

Trying to eat healthier and be an eco-conscious consumer at the same time? You're in luck: Turns out the same food choices that are good for you are almost always good for the planet, too. By limiting the energy and resources used to prepare your meals, you'll get the benefits of fresh, nutrient-rich foods without artificial additives.
Substituting produce and plant-based proteins for traditional meat entrees will reduce your saturated fat intake -- and your carbon footprint.
Choose heart-healthy seafood that reproduces in great numbers and that fisheries obtain without damage to any natural habitat, such as Dungeness crab in season and wild Alaskan salmon. Alaskan black cod (aka sablefish) makes a tasty alternative to Chilean sea bass, serves as a great source of omega-3s, and its populations are constantly managed to remain abundant.
By preparing foods without the use of a stove, oven, or microwave, you save energy and natural resources. No-cook meals are also a great way to get more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
Growing your own herbs and produce will cut down on your grocery bills -- and the amount of pesticides in your food.
Choosing whole foods and meals made from scratch over factory-produced products and microwave dinners will help reduce energy expenditures and keep artificial preservatives out of your diet.
Today's food travels an average of 1,500 miles to get from farm to table. By eating locally produced fare, you can reduce the trucking and air travel required to transport food, support sustainable growing practices, and help out your own farming community. Plus, food tastes better when it's fresh.
Just because a food says "organic" doesn't mean it's the best environmental choice. Learn how to recognize a truly eco-friendly product.
Becoming a member of a local food co-op or community-sponsored agriculture program helps you pitch in and support regional farmers.
Keep reusable eco-bags in your purse, car, or anywhere else they'll be handy when you need to pick up groceries on the fly.
The beans in your morning cup of joe may have been grown on land where rainforests once thrived, now clear-cut to allow sunlight to reach coffee crops. Buying shade-grown coffee helps discourage this technique; look for brands with the Rainforest Alliance or Bird Friendly seal to ensure that the most eco-friendly farming practices were used.
Choose vino from winemakers who use organic, sustainable, or biodynamic farming practices.

Being Light: A Guide to Living in Multidimensional Realities is a compilation of material I have trans-channeled throughout my life. The main purpose of the book is to reveal and affirm our origin as light beings and explain each step of our soul and spirit journeys into the bodies we occupy and then transcend at death, providing a better perspective on why we know things beyond what we have been told or programmed to think, such as why we can sense a soul mate or a personal destiny. The book also seeks to clarify how light energy is a repository of information for humankind and how we can trans-channel it to guide our lives. Trans-channeling is the act of using the light energy flowing through us as information; when trans-channeling, we bypass the brain and become immediately linked to our spirits for guidance.
Further, the book illuminates human evolution from the perspective of our origin as light beings rather than our viewpoint as human beings. Trans-channeling light energy for human evolution reveals how it progresses as consciousness through various realities and levels to eventually enter physical reality. Knowing about light energy helps us gain the ability to use it as information to both validate our existence as light beings in form and also make more discerning choices in our lives.
Another purpose of this book is to demonstrate that human beings possess greater power to make choices in their lives than we may have previously realized. Sections explain how, as light beings, we choose our own realities long before progressing into human form. In effect, we write our parts into our own scripts coming in, and during our lives we play these parts to the best of our ability, making decisions guided by our spirits in much the same way that actors are guided by directors to achieve their best performances.
This book is also a useful guide for understanding our transformation from light energy to form to formlessness, as well as the types of choices our spirits choreograph for us along the way. Such choices and how they play out in physical reality make us unique and give us accountability. Accountability involves accepting responsibility for our lives knowing we chose our bodies, our parents, and our birth circumstances. Realizing that we made these choices can initiate an enormous shift in consciousness, further improving our decision making.
Ultimately, Being Light is a guide for living in the multidimensional realities of light and body, and thus living in the most beneficial way possible. Each of us originates from the same source of light energy, and thus we can all trans-channel light energy to obtain information for beneficial use in our daily lives, although some people, like myself, tap into it more readily and comprehensively than others.

« What happens at the juvenile court jurisdiction hearing?
Occasionally a child can be tried as an adult, even if their previous records are sealed because the three-stirkes law says that most serious and violent crimes that are committed by minors can count against them in the future.
A child who is 14 years old can be tried in adult court for some serious crimes.
-Escaping from a juvenile detention facility.
There are big differences between juvenile court and adult court. If your child as an adult, he/she can be sent to adult prison (CDCR). If your child is tried in adult court, talk to a lawyer.
Even if your child is sentenced to adult prison, he/she will stay at the Division of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) until he/she is at least 16.
If your child is at least 16, the judge can send him/her directly to adult prison but the judge may let him/her complete their entire sentence in DJJ if your child’s sentence ends before he/she turns 21. If the sentence is longer, your child will go to the CDCR on his/her 18th birthday.

Liza Motte (EDHEC BBA 2007), presents BURPEEZ, a merchandising agency offering tailored services for businesses to cover all their retail development needs.
Liza Motte: I’m from Nice and completed my higher education on EDHEC’s Nice campus. While studying at EDHEC, I had the opportunity to do several internships and was elected president of the Events Association, which organises the school’s graduation ceremonies. That experience gave me a taste for project development and challenging work.
Once I graduated, I got my first job in a communications agency in Paris, where I learned how to manage projects, handle pressure and adapt my skills to a wide range of demands.
I went on to work at two other agencies, one of which introduced me to the world of merchandising. After 5 years in agencies, I took up a position at Lagardère Travel Retail, where I helped open the merchandising unit and was appointed as a category head. After another 5 years with Lagardère Travel Retail and 10 years as an employee, I decided to try to achieve what I really wanted: to develop my own business!
EA: HOW DID YOUR PROJECT COME ABOUT?
LM: I came up with the idea when I was still at Lagardère TR. I began to wonder, “why not offer an outsourced merchandising service to businesses and retailers with the possibility of tailored options?” So I started developing a project to create my own merchandising agency, and Burpeez was born! This agency was made possible through a partnership with two other people: Sébastien Rodinger, a designer who has helped us come up with new retail concepts, and Sophie Laplanche, an expert in operational marketing.
LM: Burpeez is based on 3 pillars representing tailored services for businesses to cover all their retail development needs.
Design to develop on-trend innovative concepts for brands looking to stand out from their competitors.
Merchandising management for businesses in need of support and advice on how to orient their product catalogue, develop or implement category management practices, or achieve their merchandising goals.
Initiatives to ensure a dynamic brand image and activate all levers of retail growth: on-site commercial promotions, street marketing, point-of-sale digital technology, and contractors to install promotional material in retail outlets.
Studies have shown that consumers are increasingly demanding when it comes to their in-store experiences. To meet their expectations, businesses must surprise them, and that means taking certain risks. Burpeez is on hand to offer them support and advice on how to achieve this.
EA: WHAT’S YOUR INITIAL ASSESSMENT?
LM: Burpeez is a name that closely resembles a difficult fitness move known as the “burpee”, which perfectly illustrates the challenge of starting your own business.
”You start standing upright, you regularly find yourself on the ground following periods of doubt, difficulties or intense stress, you get back up because your belief is unshakeable, then you jump every time you land a new contract!” And we landed a few promising contracts in 2018, including Sephora. Entrepreneurship is a unique human adventure in which dreams can come true.
EA: any advice for young ENTREPRENEURS?
1/ Team up with people who have different personalities to your own. That way you can complement one another and achieve the perfect formula to progress even further every day.
2/ Be patient and humble.
3/ Don’t be afraid to fail, because it’s better to try and mess up than to stand around watching the days go by!
EA: WHAT’S NEXT FOR BURPEEZ?
EA: WHAT ARE YOUR EXPECTATIONS FROM THE ALUMNI COMMUNITY?
LM: If there is anything we can help you with, get in touch!

Improving your credit score can help you get approved for loans and credit cards and save you money by getting better rates for financing. While raising your credit score isn't fast or easy, it is possible when you follow some of the helpful tips below.
Make Sure Your Credit Report Is Accurate: Every year you're allowed one free copy of your credit report from each of the three major credit bureaus. When you get your credit report, make sure you review it carefully. A mistake could negatively impact your credit score. Potential errors can include incorrect personal information, accounts you don't recognize, and missing payments you know you made. If you find an error, be sure to submit a dispute.
Take Care of Late Payments: Delinquent payments can stay on your credit report for up to seven years. If late payments are hurting your credit score, you need to take some steps to get organized and solve the issue. Set up payment reminders so you don't miss a due date. If you're having problems making payments because all your bills are due at once, many lender websites will let you change your due date so that you can spread them out more evenly.
Clear Up Collection Accounts: Unpaid debt also seriously hurts your credit score, so you need to pay off your debt as soon as you can. While it's not always possible, some collectors will stop reporting debts to the credit bureaus in exchange for full payment.
Get a Credit Card: When used properly, a credit card is a good way to help build up your credit score. If you have a fair or better credit score, you likely have several credit card options available. If you have a poor or bad credit score, you need to look into a secured credit card. No matter which type of card you get, you want to make on-time payments.

Last week, I went shopping with my sister. After a half hour of viewing and thinking what watch should I buy, finally I bought a traditionally formal, not very expensive one. After all, I only wanted a watch that hasn't "for kids" appearance. Whatever, my new clock fulfills all that.
It's not usual for me to give presents myself. I have a great resistance to spend my own money. Soon this morning, I asked to my father if would be a good idea to buy a new 20-inch TV for myself. Although I have a TV tuner on my computer yet, I thought that having a "real" TV would be convenient for viewing TV and DVDs -my PC monitor is only 15-inch- and will help to spend less on electricity. In addition, it's supossed that the day I will leave home is coming soon, thus it's not a bad idea to start buying goods that will be part of my future home.

Each month Simplybepilates will be publishing a new exercises for you to develop a home Pilates workout. A little a day goes a long way!
This exercise, which targets your buttocks, back and shoulders, is performed on a mat.
Arms extended by your sides, palms faced up to relax the shoulders. Keep your head turned to one side on the floor.
Begin the exercise by lifting the legs (legs hip distance) keeping them straight and stretched from the hips. Shoulders off the floor about four fingers height. As we bring the shoulders off the floor extend the head and torso away from the hips lengthening the body. Think about lifting the collar bones rather than the head.
Draw the shoulder blades down the back and hold for 5 seconds. Reaching the hands towards your feet. Watch not to squeeze the shoulder blades together. Keep your torso stable and avoid rocking.
This Pilates exercise is not only great for strengthening the buttocks, back and shoulders it also gives you the practitioner the opportunity to monitor your breathing technique as we aim to keep the tummy tucked in and breath to the rib cage.

Megatrends encompassing significant social, economic, political, environmental or technological changes have a major impact on business and society as a whole, and will continue to do so for decades to come.
Of the key megatrends presenting major challenges to government, industry and civil society over the coming years, four are particularly relevant to ERM’s work with our clients within the wider context of sustainable development. As a leading sustainability consultancy, ERM understands the megatrends’ impact on the technical, business and societal challenges facing our clients.
Global political action, regional legislation, technology breakthroughs, market disruption, extreme weather events, investor priorities and consumer sentiment make the transition to a low-emissions future fundamentally important to all businesses. The way companies manage this transition takes on new significance as stakeholders look to accurately assess and measure the environment’s impact on a company’s business models, assets and reputation, as well as the organizational preparedness to cope with this unprecedented energy shift.
The low-emissions transition is well underway – driven by intensifying climate policy, advances in technology, changing investor sentiment and fundamental market shifts. In December 2015, the Paris Agreement set a global target to reduce the impact of climate change to below 2 degrees Celsius through Nationally Determined Contribution Plans (NDCs). According to the Emissions Gap Report 2017 issued by the UN Environment Programme, current state pledges in the NDCs cover no more than one-third of the emission reductions needed.1 Society must achieve even greater emissions reductions than those pledged by countries, recognizing continued forecast growth in global energy demand.
For many companies climate risk is already very real, creating value chain vulnerabilities and prompting consumer demand for change. For the investment community, the risks posed by a company’s greenhouse gas emissions, or its dependency on carbon in the value chain, is of particular concern. Climate-related risk is no longer just an environmental issue, but also one that has a direct impact on a company’s longer-term financial standing, reputation and ability to attract investment.
Technology is accelerating the pace of change. It drives new - and often disruptive – ways of doing business in response to multi-faceted and increasingly complex challenges. Cloud computing, robotics, the Internet of Things, machine learning and artificial intelligence are transforming customer expectations, product development, collaboration and organizational structures, while changing how citizens engage companies, government and civil society. This represents a significant opportunity for our clients - from how they engage with key stakeholders to how they optimize their operations.
Smarter products, better collaboration, faster processes and lower costs are just some of the drivers behind new technology adoption. Greater access to technology, particularly mobile devices, means greater access (for those with adequate bandwidth and skills) to education, work, financial services and information, as well as new markets and buyers for goods. By enabling greater productivity and agility, digital technology enables companies to evolve and improve their operations, but not without risks.
All of this is reliant on the flow of accurate and timely data. While real-time access to accurate and granular data has become essential to maximizing efficiency and agility, the risks associated with data integrity, security and privacy are of increasing concern to companies, governments and the public. It is the ability to derive insights from data that will set well-performing companies apart as they manage complex environmental and social challenges.
Greater availability and adoption of technology will play a key role in addressing a range of socio-economic and environmental challenges. At the same time, it presents a host of new environment and social impacts to address – from intensive energy use to the elimination of jobs.
According to the United Nations the world’s population is expected to increase by more than 30 percent to upwards of 9 billion between now and 2050. The additional food, energy, homes and transportation required for these extra people will place an additional burden on the planet’s already strained resources.
A large proportion of this population increase will occur in the world’s less developed regions, including Africa, Asia and Latin America.
More than 50 percent of the world’s population lives in urban areas today. By 2045, global urban population will increase 1.5 times to 6 billion people, according to the World Bank.3 Urbanization brings its own challenges, including access to clean water, unhealthy air, waste disposal issues and increased poverty.
With more people, the competition for vital and often scarce resources will grow. The ability to access sufficient food, water and energy for a growing population will have repercussions for the private sector, civil society and the environment. A collaborative approach is required to address these systemic issues due to their complexity and scale.
As incomes rise among the middle classes, so does access to information and education. Higher incomes and faster development rates mean that the emerging middle classes will have greater spending power and greater expectations. Women in particular will have greater access to education and employment, and they will play a larger role in purchasing and other decisions. These shifts in human development and social balance of the power have major implications for consumption patterns and living standards, as well as for sustainable development.
Experience and data show that although the emerging middle classes often want to retain their culture and traditions, they are keen to adapt their diets and lifestyles as their income increases. Consumption of processed food, meat and dairy products rises along with sales of manufactured goods such as phones and other technological devices, cars, household goods and appliances. The demand for better quality housing, infrastructure and public services rises as well.
The emerging middle classes present companies with new opportunities and new revenue streams. For many, this demand will create opportunities to expand into new markets and to launch new products. However, this upsurge in demand will also increase some long-term risks. It is estimated that more than 3.9 planet Earths would be needed to sustain a global population enjoying the current lifestyle of the average US citizen.5 Food, water, housing and energy, which are already under pressure due to population growth and climate change, will be particularly affected.
The four megatrends highlighted above interact with each other, creating complex implications for the environment and society. Meeting future energy needs, especially among the middle classes, will exacerbate efforts to reduce climate change emissions.
Climate change will alter where and which crops farmers can grow to feed an expanding – and increasingly urbanized – global population. Emerging technologies can greatly improve the quality of life and the environment, provided they are managed to avert potential risks associated with loss of jobs, data privacy and a less active lifestyle. How and when the business world addresses these megatrends will affect whether society can collectively achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Among our clients, we see a growing interest in contributing to the realization of the SDGs while achieving business value for their organizations. ERM is helping companies identify and manage the environmental and sustainability risks and opportunities related to climate change, digital transformation, population growth and emerging middle classes. Using the SDGs as a framework, we work with clients to set strategies and implement programs to maximize the positive impacts while minimizing the negative impacts resulting from these megatrends.
Achieving the SDGs will take contributions from governments, civil society and businesses. ERM’s contribution to the SDGs is driven not only by our own operations and the work of the ERM Foundation but, importantly, by how we influence and enable the efforts of our clients around the world.

Avoid Triglyceride Blasters: Eating Plan to Lower High Triglycerides - Full of Health Inc.
** Sucralose - a relatively new artificial sweetener sold under the name Splenda™. It is a high-intensity sugar substitute which is 50 percent sweeter but less toxic than aspartame. It is non-caloric and about 600 times sweeter than sucrose (white table sugar), already used in a variety of products (in the United States, approved for the use in 15 food and beverage categories). However, sucralose is NOT proven safe; it does NOT provide any benefit to the public (only for the corporations making and using sucralose); it does NOT help with weight loss (on the contrary: it my stimulate appetite); it has NOT been shown to be safe for the environment, and, finally, there are NO long-term (12-24 months) human studies on sucralose (similar to several years ago for aspartame). Its regular use may contribute to serious chronic immunological or neurological disorders.
Despite these concerns, Splenda is now used in over 4,000 products worldwide, from carbonated drinks and nutrition bars to desserts, confectionery and dairy products, according to its U.K. manufacturer Tate & Lyle. And this year (2005), the number one global soft drinks player launches a new version of Diet Coke, complete with Splenda sucralose logo on the packaging.
ALL fruit juices - fresh and bottled, store-bought and homemade.
Onions, tomatoes (fruit vegetables), peppers, parsley.
Summary: The greener vegetables, the better they are.
PLEASE NOTE: Contrary to the popular opinion, a healthy diet to help lower triglycerides should reduce or, preferably, eliminate grains as they are rapidly broken down into... sugar in the body.
Amount of water needed daily: ideally, 1 quart for every 50 pounds of body weight, or 1 litre for every 23 kilograms of your body weight *.
* According to the FDA Consumer Magazine (January-February 2005 Issue) in 2002 in the United States the average weight for men ages 20-74 was 191 pounds (86.8 kilograms); for women the same ages it was 164 pounds (74.5 kilograms). Ideally then, on average men should consume about 3.8 quarts (about 1 gallon or 3.7 liters) and women - about 3.3 quarts (3.2 liters) pure water daily.
Green tea - very limited amounts due to high fluoride content; accumulated by tea leaves from pollution of soil and air, fluoride can also adversely affect the beneficial action of individual antioxidants found in green tea.
The amount of food you should be eating is about the size of your fist per meal.
PLEASE NOTE: Almonds and walnuts contain beta-glucan - a fiber-type, cholesterol-lowering and immune-enhancing complex sugar (polysaccharide).
Although the dietary restrictions advised to help lower triglycerides may seem hard, it is heartening to realize you can achieve significant reductions without medication - if you put your mind to it.
PLEASE NOTE: This eating plan by all means is NOT dangerous; however, ALL diet regimens that do work for life require both eating in moderation and exercise.
If You Are Smoking - Do NOT Stop Now!
My husband was told that he had high cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL levels approx. 6 weeks ago. (He fasted for 12 hours in preparation for the blood test).
His triglyceride was 674, cholesterol was 364, LDL was unmeasurable -- the doctor told him it was extremely high and that they were not able to measure it.
He was instructed to take Crestor. And modify his diet (without really telling him what he can and cannot eat!).
He took it for about 2 weeks when he started getting muscle weakness. He stopped the medication.
I found your web site and asked my husband to read it. He did and he's been on this diet ever since.
Well, 6 weeks later, he is down from 220 to 195 pounds.
His triglyceride is now 74 (yes, 74), cholesterol is 230 (still needs some work), LDL was 160 (also needs some more work). And this is all without medication.
Please feel free to use our testimony on your website.
Drinking even two glasses of soy milk daily for one month has enough of the chemical to alter a woman’s menstrual cycle.
In recent years soy has emerged as a “near-perfect’” food, with supporters claiming it can provide an ideal source of protein, lower cholesterol, protect against cancer and heart disease, reduce menopause symptoms, and prevent osteoporosis, among other things.
Cause severe, potentially fatal food allergies.
With soy portrayed as both the hero and the villain, the debate will likely rage on between the pro-soy and anti-soy camps.
Unfortunately, "bad soy," or unfermented soy, is predominantly offered and marketed as a "healthy food." One of the most disturbing "bad soy's" effects to our health is its phytoestrogenic effect.
It is a well-known fact that phytoestrogens present in the products made from unfermented soy can mimic the effects of the female hormone estrogen. These phytoestrogens have been found to have adverse effects on various human tissues.
However, it is not that easy to stop eating soy! Unfortunately, unfermented "bad soy" is present in more than 70 percent of all supermarket products and is widely used in most fast food chains. Foods containing soy include a wide range of processed products, from hamburgers to breakfast cereals and mayonnaise.
But there's even more to this! Many foods do not list soy as an ingredient on their labels. For example, lecithin - an important ingredient of baking - is extracted from soybeans. Food labels on chocolate bars and cakes, however, will list "lecithin" as an ingredient instead of soy. Similarly, food labels on salad dressing and cooking oils extracted from soy simply list "vegetable oil" rather than soy oil.
Further, unfermented soy is used to feed animals. Whether you consume beef, lamb, bacon or processed chicken, chances are that animal was fed a soy diet, making it virtually impossible not to consume soy when eating any type of meat.
the myriad of other soy junk foods that have little to do with health foods.
As one doctor put it, eating unfermented "bad soy" products is like playing roulette: "You just don't know."
So far, about 16 allergens - water soluble proteins - have been identified in soybeans. For this reason, soybeans and its products should always be declared on the labels of prepackaged foods.
Although the prevalence of soybean allergy in the general population is probably below 0.5 percent, allergy to soybean formulas is common in food allergic children younger than 3 years of age.
Symptoms range from skin, gastrointestinal, and respiratory reactions to severe systemic reactions including anaphylaxis.
Fermented soybean products such as miso, tempeh, shoyu, and natto are potentially less allergenic than raw soybeans. However, even acid and mold-hydrolyzed soy sauce retain significant allergenic potencies.
While soybean lecithins can induce allergic reactions, highly refined soybean oils are generally safe (Internet Symposium on Food Allergens 2(Suppl.3): 1-35: 2000).
Wheat, and nearly all other grains, rapidly convert to sugar and rapidly accelerate aging and chronic illness in most, although certainly not all of us.
Intolerance to wheat is far more common than doctors typically recognize.
Unless you are seriously underweight, most of us would best be served by limiting or avoiding wheat altogether.
Rest assured that if you indulge in grains to excess you are heading for elevated blood triglycerides. With no doubt, avoiding wheat will likely mean an increased level of health for you.
What About Commercial (Pasteurized) Dairy?
By taking from raw milk its most vital qualities, pasteurization turns it into something that is definitely not what the milk sets out to be.
Despite the widespread notion that milk is healthy, drinking commercial, pasteurized milk is frequently associated with... a worsening of health.
This is particularly sad because milk is one of the healthiest foods available prior to its being commercialized, namely, pasteurized.
As opposed to the pasteurized dairy that is sold in most grocery stores, raw dairy is something nearly everyone should regularly consume.
However, cultured products (kefir, yogurt) and enzymatically altered products (cheese, etc.) are acceptable - but only in moderation.
Milk pasteurization kills off harmless and useful germs - such as the lactic acid bacilli - in raw milk, preventing its souring. As the pasteurized milk cannot become sour, it quickly decomposes encouraging the growth of undesirable germs - harmful bacteria.
Subjecting the raw milk to high temperatures also destroys some of its nutritious constituents, such as part of the vitamin C. Pasteurization also turns the sugar of milk, known as lactose, into beta-lactose, far more soluble and more rapidly absorbed in the system than lactose.
Probably pasteurization's worst offence is that it makes insoluble the major part of the calcium contained in raw milk. (In children, this frequently leads to rickets, bad teeth and nervous troubles).
Only California and Georgia still allow the sale of raw dairy products in stores.
Pasteurization also destroys 20 percent of the iodine present in raw milk and contributes to constipation.
Unfortunately, raw milk is not commercially available, and you will need to seek out a local dairy farmer as a supplier of the "illegal goods."
Why illegal? Because except California and Georgia, you can only purchase these products directly from local dairy farmers. And while grocery stores have nearly everything, you won't find raw dairy products there.
The milk industry has turned raw-milk consumers into... criminals. Over the years, representatives of the industry convinced the public and federal regulators that unpasteurized, unhomogenized raw dairy products pose a serious health risk.
But What About the Industry's "Strong Bones" Claims?
A 12-year Harvard study of 80,000 nurses showed that a high intake of commercial milk appeared to actually... increase the risk of bone fractures.
For more detailed information about the highs and lows of milk, read Dr. William Campbell Douglass' book Eat Your Cholesterol!
In this somewhat controversial book, previously titled "The Milk Book," Dr. Douglass - in his typical lively writing style - explains the many nutritional differences between pasteurized milk and raw milk.
Don't Steer Clear of Eggs!
For over 25 years eggs have been the icon for the fat, cholesterol and caloric excesses in the American diet, and the message to limit eggs to lower heart disease risk has been widely circulated.
No wonder many people steer clear of eating eggs altogether.
However, it is now known that eggs do not increase your risk of heart disease! (The Journal of the American College of Nutrition October, 2000: Supplement).
Egg yolks do contain cholesterol (approximately 213 milligrams of cholesterol each), leading to the traditional advice about limiting cholesterol consumption to 300 milligrams per day.
However, people who reported eating four eggs a week had a significantly lower mean serum cholesterol concentration than those who reported eating one egg a week (193 mg/dL vs. 197 mg/dL).
Organic eggs are one of the most nutritious foods you can eat.
Because cholesterol found in eggs is not the primary dietary cause of high blood cholesterol levels.
So why isn't regular egg consumption harmful to the cardiovascular health of healthy adults?
The researchers point out that despite their high cholesterol content, eggs contain substantial amounts of healthy nutrients.
For example, they are one of the best food sources of betaine which has been shown to substantially decrease blood levels of homocysteine - an important risk factor for heart disease.
So rest assured that having your eggs isn’t going to hurt you, for they are one of the healthiest foods in the world.
The truly healthy oil is coconut oil.
Polyunsaturated oils, which include vegetable oils like corn, soy, safflower and canola, are the worst oils you can eat, as generally Americans’ intake of omega-6 fat from these vegetable oils is far too high.
Experts looking at the dietary ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids, which are the healthy fats found in fish oil and cod liver oil, suggest that in early human history the ratio was about 1:1.
Currently most Americans eat a dietary ratio that falls between 20:1 and 50:1. The optimal ratio is most likely closer to the original ratio of 1:1. For most of us this means greatly reducing the omega-6 fatty acids we consume and increasing the amount of omega-3 fatty acids found in fish, nuts and seeds.
By all means, vegetable oils should NOT be regarded as healthy oils.
Polyunsaturated vegetable oils are the worst oils to cook with because they tend to become easily oxidized or rancid when exposed to heat from cooking. This results in the formation of trans fat and damaging free radicals.
Trans fat - formed when vegetable oils are hardened into margarine and shortening - is known to increase blood levels of low density lipoprotein (LDL), or "bad" cholesterol, while lowering levels of high density lipoprotein (HDL), known as "good" cholesterol.
It is found to increase the risk of heart disease.
The FDA has recently taken the position that “intake of trans fats should be as low as possible.” This is the only legal food ingredient that merits such strong concern by this agency.
One problem with the use of trans fat is that food companies are not required to list it on nutrition labels so we, consumers, have no way of knowing how much trans fat is in the food we are eating.
toppings and dips (nondairy creamers, flavored coffees, whipped toppings, bean dips, gravy mixes, salad dressings).
Unfortunately, many people often eat these "foods" they know are bad. For them trans-fat "foods" are just comfort food - dangerous, but tasty!
If you have high triglycerides you should avoid fruit juices and most fruits.
Further, many commercial orange juices are contaminated with mold from damaged fruit that are processed. So if you drink commercial orange juice regularly you will be exposed to these mold toxins.
This does not mean that you should avoid fruit, just fruit juice. When the fruit is intact and whole, its fiber will moderate the release of fructose into the bloodstream, as well as somewhat moderate insulin release.
However, if you are overweight, with high blood pressure, high blood triglycerides, or high blood sugar, it would probably be wise to avoid most fruits until you have these problems under control.
Three cups of orange juice a day over a 4-week period can significantly increase HDL levels and improve a patient's LDL:HDL ratio, suggests this small study of healthy adults with moderate hypercholesterolemia.
When Canadian investigators asked 16 men and 9 women with elevated total and LDL cholesterol and normal triglyceride readings to drink 1, 2, or 3 cups of juice a day in three separate 4-week periods, those on the highest dose (750 mL) saw their HDL levels increase by 21% and their LDL:HDL ratio decrease by 16%.
The researchers also observed a 30% increase in plasma triglycerides, but those readings remained in the normal range.
eating artificially sweetened foods and drinking artificially sweetened beverages might hinder your body's ability to count calories.
Artificial sweeteners thus, for the most part usually used in nutritionally worthless products, boost our inclination to overindulge (IJO 2004 28, 933-935).
Over the past 25 years, there has been a dramatic increase in the consumption of artificially sweetened beverages and foods. Obesity has also skyrocketed during this period.
According to a survey by the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), low-calorie, sugar-free products such as artificially sweetened sodas and desserts are regularly consumed by 144 million American adults.
As to the glycemic index, when compared with other sugars, Xylitol's effect on blood sugar levels is extremely low as it metabolizes in a dissimilar manner and may be used safely for diabetics and hypoglycemics.
Xylitol is extracted from birch cellulose and is considered to be a carbohydrate alcohol ("sugar alcohol").
Sugar alcohols are derived from monosaccharides by reduction of a carbonyl group (CO), so that each carbon atom of the sugar has an alcohol group (OH). That would lead most of us to believe that it is still a sugar, and should be disclosed as sugar on our labels.
However, the FDA, in its wisdom, decided that only sugars that are classified as monosaccharides and disaccharides would be disclosed as sugar on labels.
Since a sugar alcohol is neither of these, then, according to the prevailing food labeling laws, the Xylitol mints gums are considered "sugar free" by the FDA.
"Sugar-Free" chewing gum contains xylitol because it does not produce the bacterial support for increase of cavity causing acids. Bacterial salivary organisms do not feed, grow or ferment on xylitol as they do on other simple sugars.
The scientific conclusions from 1996 indicate that the use of xylitol in humans is safe. Therefore, it has been accepted as an approved food additive for use in foods for special dietary uses.
Also an Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) of "not specified" has been allocated for xylitol. An ADI - the amount of food additive that can be taken daily in the diet over a lifetime without risk - of "not specified" is the safest category in which a food additive can be placed. Also in Europe, xylitol has been determined "acceptable" for dietary uses.
Fish, especially fatty fish, are the main predominant source of omega-3 oils - the essential fatty acids, so named because without them we die.
However, if you really want to eat right for high triglycerides, here's great news... The ANSWER to your question: "What am I going to eat?"
Testimonial: "Your Diet is Working"
Testimonial: "This Site Has Saved My life!"
This site has saved my life! I found out on Halloween 2003 that my triglicerides were at 601 and my cholesterol was at 229.
I am a 5'4" 50 year old woman and was weighing 194 lbs. at that time. My doctor immediately prescribed Lopid. I was very upset after reading on the internet the effects of these drugs.
I luckily found your website and I read through all your articles. I immediately took action on Nov 1, 2003 to get my health back. I followed all your recommendations and I never cheated for 6 weeks.
I lowered my triglycerides to a normal 149 and my cholesterol to a normal 192. At that point I was weighing 170 lbs.
My doctor couldn't believe that I did this without the Lopid. Even she asked me what diet I followed!
I have continued the diet and once in a blue moon I cheat by nibbling on a little pizza or having some crackers but I am sticking to it religiously.
I am now weighing 155 lbs and have dropped from a size 18 to a size 10. I will recheck my lipids again in June.
I am so happy and I look 10 years younger!
P.S. I give you permission to include my story. I am so happy with your website that I want everyone who reads it to know about my personal experience! Thank you so much.
*This testimonial has been presented as true story. However, it has not been reviewed by Full of Health and is the opinion of the listed individual.
I am 36 and have tryglycerides of 500 and total cholesterol of 215. My doctor keeps just saying lose weight - with no plan or advice as to what to eat, what vitamins to take, etc. She just wants to give me drugs, but I don't want that. I am overweight by 35 lbs or so.
Your site has given me information I was totally unaware of, and I thank you for this free information. I have seen that what I thought was making the right dietary changes, were totally wrong - like eating huge amounts of carrots, soy, skim milk, iceberg lettuce, lowfat ham, rice, etc. Boy, no wonder my lipids are high!
Having undergone recent heart surgery and concurrent attempts to manage my diet (in the face of continued high triglycerides), this single nutritional information will virtually totally revamp what I had previously considered to be 'healthy' eating, e.g. skim milk, store bought fruit juices - natural, iceberg lettuce. etc., and help me concentrate on those alternatives that will positively affect my blood results going forward.
Thank you so very much for this detailed listing of 'AVOID' and 'Eat More.' I could not be more pleased and, frankly, my frustration substantially reduced as eating 'healthy' foods of the wrong type has obviously been a significant contributor to my high triglycerides.
I am forwarding this information to my cardiologist and his colleagues.
I dropped my triglycerides from 254 to 64, in 4 months, by changing my diet according to your guidelines.
I cut out sodas, candy and most starch. I also lost 18 pounds (208 to 190).
I feel MUCH better, and will never go back to my old ways.
I am a web application developer, and do not do regular exercise. I think to reduce my cholesterol (currently down to 225 from a high of 255) significantly, so I need to start some exercise.
You have a great site, keep up the good work!
Thank you for your website. However, as a public health nutritionist since 1976 and a family practice physician since 1986 I am disappointed with such extremist views.
Over the past four decades, the results of studies of carbohydrate-induced hypertriglyceridemia have been inconsistent. Human studies are expensive, time consuming, and have design constraints.

Mount Mahawu (Gunung Mahwau) is a volcano approximately 15 kilometres south of Manado in North Sulawesi. Reaching the crater at its summit (1324 m / 4344 ft) hardly qualifies as hiking. The ascent is a 10 minute walk up concrete steps to a view point. However, things get a bit more interesting if you decide to do the easy hike around the crater rim (50 minutes).
The path around Mount Mahawu’s crater is easy to follow. Going clockwise, it is paved at first. Tall grass offers limited views of the crater for the first half of the walk. However, it is worth continuing because there are great views to the left (west) towards Mount Lokon and Mount Empung. About halfway around the crater is a second viewing platform offering better views of the lake at its centre.
The final half of the rim hike offers ever better views down into the crater, with fumaroles smoking through the rocks. At least one short detour from the main path seems to offer a route down into the crater. People have clearly been down there previously as names have been spelt out with loose rocks. However, the lake seems reasonably active and even on the rim the smell of sulphur was strong, so a descent didn’t seem pertinent.
Many tour companies offer Mount Mahawu trips, but there is absolutely no need for a guide. In fact, had I paid for a tour I would have surely been disappointed – there is very little to justify the $100 US per person fee. Instead I hired a vehicle and driver from Manado Safaris and combined Kali waterfalls, Mount Mahawu, Lake Tondano, and Lake Linow in a full-day trip. I highly recommend Manado Safaris – they were organised, very responsive to communication, and my driver/guide was excellent.
Mount Mahawu (Gunung Mahwau) is an easy hike in North Sulawesi - 10 minutes to the crater rim and 50 minutes to walk around, with excellent views to Mount Lokon and Mount Empung.

"I am learning to appreciate the things about my body that make me unique and the authenticity of my imperfections."
If someone had told me years ago that I’d ever use the words "body" and "positive" in the same sentence, I wouldn’t have believed it. I mean, this body has been through many years of abuse and degradation so I’d became a prisoner to my defenses. I saw safety in maintaining a cloak of invisibility and had mastered the ability to shrink myself whenever possible—what was confidence?
Somewhere on the right path of navigating my trauma and reshaping my relationship with my body, I went all the way left. I’d replaced invisibility with deficiency and began obsessing over ways to make squares fit into circles. I spent so much time striving to lose this Caribbean tummy pouch for a specific bathing suit, planning to go on a date when I fit the "skinny" jean reveal, and really just wishing it was easier or cheaper to get a "nice" body. For a long time, this was my idea of self-care, because taking steps to become "better" is taking care of myself, no?
The concept and subsequent privilege of self-care had been foreign to me as a queer black woman moving through life in survival mode. It always seemed so luxurious to "self-center" and it didn’t help that self-care has historically been presented as inaccessible to people of color because of what it would "cost." In the earlier days, posters in a therapy office would show a group of women drinking champagne at the spa or men giving high-fives on the golf-course and read "Leave the kids with the nanny today, it’s you time!"
I had barely seen anyone in my family really rest, unless it was in the hospital, so I wasn’t sure why I deserved that either. I decided that taking care of myself would have to mean working myself numb so the bills got paid, losing weight so I’d feel attractive, and distancing myself from anyone who questioned either. Later that year, I succumbed to a lifetime of numbing and attempted suicide. Surviving that experience, atop the many traumas preceding it, created a non-negotiable shift for me in relation to my well-being. I needed to be well, from the inside out; no band-aids allowed.
These days, as I moisturize my brown body after a long, hot shower and run my fingers over the scars from my past, I’m no longer too anything for self-care. Self-care has become an act of resistance for me in a society that constantly craves outward acceptance. The struggle to maintain the priority of my well-being gets difficult as I navigate the hectic nature of my daily life, but I’m a woman on a mission. There are always going to be days when I’m scrolling through social media with my insecurities on high alert or I’m in a fitting room and nothing fits so I swear to juice cleanse for a month, but I’m learning to be kinder to myself. I am learning to appreciate the things about my body that make me unique and the authenticity of my imperfections.
I am honored to live in this body, that has carried me through the fire and forgiven me relentlessly for losing sight of the privilege. I can only hope to someday attain a relationship with myself that thwarts self-shame before it leaves my mouth but dammit, cheers to baby steps.
I’m a true work in progress, as I continue to find ways to show appreciation for things like my forever food baby, slightly dark knees, and barely manageable head of coils. I’m committed to using the leftover weight of my fading insecurities as a constant reminder that I am never too far gone and what my body deserves is always one positive thought away.

Is there any good reason for the H300 image being as large as it is?
That's a whopping 900kb extra, which makes the resulting manual about 80% larger than Ipod Video manual (the largest of the rest). And as far as I can tell, this is not visible, at least not on screen. Is such a large image really needed?
I've attached a smaller version, more similar in size to the archos units (300x490, 187kb).
Additional comments about closing: The h300 image is not _that_ huge anymore. Converted to jpg.
I just compiled a manual with this smaller version of the image, and there is of course a difference, but in my opinion it's not worth the large increase in size. YMMV.
I already noticed the font page image being huge and was thinking about a better solution -- converting the front page image from png to jpg gives me about 500kB file size decrease, and IMO the difference isn't notable (I was able finding jpg artifacts at 800% magnification).
The reason for having large (huge) images, is the fact that we want a decent quality when printing the manual. The huge size of the h300 image will still be less than 300 dpi at the current size. I have tried to get pdflatex to generate a on-line version of the manual (less quality, less size). I failed. But, it is possible to get pdflatex to reduce the dpi for the images used in the manual. I think the proper solution is to have a print version, with as high resolution images as possible and an online version with 72dpi resolution for the images. That is, keep the source with high quality images and let pdflatex do the scaling.

The supposed rule of thumb for avoiding controversy in polite society is not to have conversations about politics or religion. Apparently there aren't many people who can be rational or calm with either topic. Which could go a long way towards explaining why so many people, even those who nominally share his religious beliefs, have problems with Michael Muhammad Knight's books.
Of course the fact that he converted to Islam as a teenager is probably off putting to quite a number of Americans, but his work is controversial in the Muslim community as well. It seems not many approve of the fact he openly questions those aspects of the religion he doesn't agree with and his willingness to explore teachings alternative to mainstream Islam.
Although his fiction, The Taqwacores and Osama Van Halen are perhaps more well known to readers at large, it's his non-fiction; Journey To The End Of Islam, Impossible Man, The Five Percenters: Islam, Hip-Hop and the Gods Of New York and Blue Eyed Devil: A Road Odyssey Through Islamic America which have probably caused the most consternation among those of his own faith. Oh, sure the fiction books are filled with enough bad behaviour to make most parents think twice about sending their children to university no matter what their faith. However, because they're fiction they can be ignored and not taken seriously. It's another matter all together when Knight starts into both the autobiographical stuff of Impossible Man and his analysis of various different Islamic philosophies around the world and throughout history.
Like most converts to anything, Knight went through a period of attempting to be more Islamic than thou followed by a brief period of disillusionment. (Which, judging by what he's written about that period, seems to have stemmed more from his own issues rather than his religion) It was when he truly began to settle into his faith, that he began to delve deeper into its history and philosophies. While this included travels through Africa, the Middle East (including making a pilgrimage to Mecca) and South East Asia it also involved delving into the uniquely American versions of Islam which developed among African Americans.
For even though his education in Islam had been in first a mainstream mosque in America and continued in a madrassa in Pakistan, it had been the writings of Malcolm X that had attracted him to the faith in the first place. However, the Nation Of Islam, of which Malcolm had been a member until his split with them shortly before his assassination, he was soon to discover, is considered misguided at best, or a heresy at worst, by the majority of Muslims.
While the Nation of Islam might have been bad enough, it's an even more heretical group who Knight focuses on in his soon to be published Why I Am A Five Percenter, from Tarcher Books a division of Penguin US on October 25 2011 and Penguin Canada on October 13 2011. Knight delivers a concise and intelligent history of the The Five Percenters, also known as The Nation of Gods and Earths, and their philosophies, while dispelling many of the myths surrounding them - they have been accused of everything from wanting to kill all the white people. a front for gang warfare to a terrorist organization.
However, as in previous books, his primary concern is to further his very public discourse on Islam and his place in it. To this end he leads readers on a fascinating discussion on the nature of race and religion and a survey course on Sufi mysticism and Islamic studies as he attempts to reconcile his Five Percenter inclinations with his mainstream Islamic beliefs.
The issue of race is a major factor in Knight's personal journey. As a white American convert to Islam he was doted over by his teachers in Pakistan. For while it was fairly common for African Americans to convert, whites were few and far between. However, both the Nation of Islam and the Five Percenters were created by and for African Americans and make no bones about the fact they see white society as the biggest obstacle in the way of their community's advancement. It's especially problematic among the latter who teach self-empowerment and self reliance by denying the existence of any "mystery god" and insisting every black man has the potential to be their own god.
The answer to where does a young white dude fit into this is another question - what exactly is white? The definition has changed legally over the years in the US from where it used to exclude Irish, Italian and other non-Anglo Saxon Europeans in the 1800s to now where anybody of roughly European stock is considered "white" by all save for white extremists.
In actual fact there is no such thing as a white race genetically or any other way people would like to think.The only Caucasians in the world are a somewhat swarthy group of people, including many Muslims, who live in Eastern Europe in Georgia and other Baltic states. According to Knight, being white is more a state of mind than anything else. Now that may sound like he's justifying his position, but he freely admits that he's as capable of being as white as the next person.
It's a question of privilege. As a white male he is far more liable to be accepted by society as a whole than somebody of colour. Anytime he wants to he can walk away from his beliefs and be welcomed with open arms by the world at large - something none of the other Five Percenters, the majority of whom are poor people from Harlem and inner cities around America, have as an option.
How many of them can go to Harvard University to study? How many have the luxury to spend hours studying obscure Sufi mystics when they have to put food on the table for their families? Sure there are a lot of poor people who aren't African American, but history, the history that automatically granted a poor white person higher status than an African American no matter how wealthy or educated, isn't easily forgotten by anyone and colour still designates something. As one of the scholars Knight quotes in the book says, the only people who can afford to be colour blind are those whose colour has never been used against them.
You may or may not agree with Knight's assessment of race, ( I do) but you can't help but admire his ability for being honest with himself. He spends page upon page analysing the writings of Islamic scholars and mystics and a seemingly endless number of interpretations of the Qur'an attempting to find a way for the Five Percenter's rejection of a "mystery god" to be accommodated by Islam. However when he presents his ideas to a couple of Five Percenter gods, the elder one reminds him of one of their basic precepts. It's not just belief in a "mystery god" that allows for oppression and injustice, it's also the time wasted looking for proof of its existence. Five Percenter's teach that despite every attempt by society to degrade you and push you down, the universe is yours and you can accomplish anything. You are your own god.
Why I Am A Five Percenter is by turns fascinating, intelligent and funny. While Knight occasionally meanders into what appear to be exercises in religious and spiritual hair splitting in his examination of what he calls nine thousand pages of Sufi mysticism, which he then refers to as so much naval gazing, even that section of the book has its value. Too often Islam is represented as being a single minded monolith, but here we see the diversity of thought and belief which has developed over the hundreds of years of its history. However, that is only a sideline to his main focus; Five Percenters, the history of Islam among African Americans and his appreciation for the former.
Along the way he manages to touch on topics as diverse as race, the nature of religion and the role each of us plays in shaping a religion. He isn't trying to convince you that his way is the right way, only to tell you about it and why it appeals to him. It's possible the questions he has struggled with are ones readers might recognize as ones they've asked themselves, but he doesn't pretend his answers will be applicable to anyone but himself. He tells you why he is a Five Percenter, in as much as he can be, but never advocates it or any creed as the answer to anybody's problems.
Somehow Knight manages to blend scholarship and personal memoir and in the process of teaching us an important part of American history and telling us about his own quest to find a place in the world. All in all, for a book about subjects we're not supposed to talk about in polite society, a remarkable achievement.

Among the myriad oolong varieties grown in the Wuyi Mountains, Qi Zhong is a bit of a rarity. Indeed, its name means "unique varietal." Grown at lower elevations than our other Wuyi selections, this tea is an excellent introduction to the flavor profiles of this style, with no sharpness to the roast and little astringency in the finish.
The smooth and juicy finish also makes this tea ideal for everyday drinking. Subtle notes of baked apple or raisins and a bold topnote of burnt pie crust combine for a perfect addition to any collection.
Our Qi Zhong is forgiving to brew, especially on later infusions as fruity flavor notes come to the fore. Keep steeps short to yield many infusions.

How well does your team handle out of system balls? Improve their performance with this drill using a stability ball.
In this exercise, a coach creates an out of system play by hitting shots off a stability ball at the net. As the ball ricochets into the court, passers must chase after it and make the play.
The goal is to get players to start low and scramble for every ball, whether that means digging a hard-driven shot or running down a wild deflection. Watch the video for a demo of this unique defensive drill.

The way signal strength varies in a wireless network can reveal what’s going on behind closed doors.
Researchers at the University of Utah say that the way radio signals vary in a wireless network can reveal the movement of people behind closed doors. Joey Wilson and Neal Patwari have developed a technique called variance-based radio tomographic imaging that processes the signals to reveal signs of movement. They’ve even tested the idea with a 34-node wireless network using the IEEE 802.15.4 wireless protocol, the protocol for personal area networks employed by home automation services such as ZigBee.
The basic idea is straightforward. The signal strength at any point in a network is the sum of all the paths the radio waves can take to get to the receiver. Any change in the volume of space through which the signals pass, for example caused by the movement of a person, makes the signal strength vary. So by “interrogating” this volume of space with many signals, picked up by multiple receivers, it is possible to build up a picture of the movement within it.
In tests with a 34-node network set up outside a standard living room, Wilson and Patwari say they were able to locate moving objects in the room to within a meter or so. That’s not bad, and the team says there is ample potential for improvement by increasing accuracy while reducing the number of nodes.
The advantage of this technique over others is, first, its cost. The nodes in such a network are off-the-shelf and therefore cheap. Other through-wall viewing systems cost in excess of $100,000. The second advantage is the ease with which it can be set up. Wilson and Patwari say that adding a GPS receiver to each node allows it to work out its own location, which should dramatically speed up the imaging process. Other systems have to be “trained” to recognize the environment.
That’s ambitious, but if they do get their system to the point where it can be used like this, it raises another problem: privacy.
How might such cheap and easy-to-configure monitoring networks be used if they become widely available? What’s to stop next door’s teenage brats from monitoring your every move, or house thieves choosing their targets on the basis that nobody is inside?
Of course, in the cat-and-mouse game of surveillance, it shouldn’t be too hard to build a device that disables such a monitoring network. But only if you know it’s there in the first place.
There are fun and games galore to be had with this idea.

"Audi is currently planning to produce an electric car within the next decade, Mercedes-Benz is hoping to be completely petro free within seven years according to a recent report in The Sun. Dr. Herbert Kohler, who is responsible for Mercedes' advanced engineering, has reportedly suggested that "by 2015 motorists will have switched almost completely to alternative fuel cars." In order to make sure it's not left out, the automaker already has an electric car in the works for 2010 as well as plans to use its DiesOtto engine which will give motorists the ability to use biofuels should they choose. Still, aiming to phase petroleum completely out of its lineup by 2015 sounds overly ambitious from here, but we certainly won't complain if it achieves said goal."

With the cold winter finally releasing *some* of its grip, plans were hatched for Easter Long. Ranger Clay promised Stuckylife's annual gravel adventure on Victoria's twisting Lake Roads. But what better way to start a trip to Victoria then to ride there with the Ultranaut crew and hit Sooke pot holes "along" the way. Our routing took us through Victoria before back out towards Sooke, more westerly, taking advantage of the Galloping Goose rail trail so that Matt, Justin, and Andrew could test their gear before they begin a more epic week-long adventure through Oregon. The weather proved to always be better on Vancouver Island, though our night was filled with rain. It meant for some very quick beers around camp stoves instead of a true fire, but that's pretty common for backpacking adventures before true camp season opens. Dank lumber and no where to pack gas station logs, we make due with more beers and some solo time in our tents. The next morning brought a change of plans considering the wet. Matt joined me in my return to Victoria so that we could meet the Stucky life ride on Sunday morning. Some backyard camping, and some mild refreshments in downtown Victoria were welcome. We met Ranger Clay at Cafe Fantastico for a route that he described as mixed terrain, and the ominous "road bikes encouraged, not recommended". My Ti Romax had been a workhorse with my bike packing gear, but with all the camp gear and accessories unloaded it was feeling quite happy for our gravel attack. A few stalwarts kept that promise to shred road bikes, though many bikes, such as mine and Clay's SSCX edition pink Romax had been geared up for some gravel racing (Paris to Ancaster is coming up next week, and I'm hoping these rides awaken the legs from winter hibernation). Over five hours we only had three flats, one beer cash expertly placed and one completely unrideable section, with the threat that may increase if people keep bringing appropriate bikes. Post ride, some beers and pizza before the journey to the ferry and my own final leg home from Tsawwassen to Ladner before finally catching a bus as time constraints fell on me. Thanks for the rides Ultranaut and Stuckylife; getting pretty amped for adventure season.

Several years ago, Picture of the Day articles discussed the so-called “volcanic” plumes erupting from Jupiter’s moon Io. It was argued that they are plasma discharges from the moon electrically connected to the giant planet. Some astronomers acknowledged the electrical connection when Io’s electromagnetic “footprint” was seen in Jupiter’s polar aurora. Later, it was found that all four of Jupiter’s large moons leave their imprints in the aurora.
When NASA launched the New Horizons spacecraft on a mission to study Pluto and Charon, they trained its cameras on Jupiter’s environment as it flew by in order to test their resolution. The “plumes” of Tvashtar, one of Io’s “volcanoes,” were seen by the itinerant spacecraft to be filamentary, indicating that they are corona arc discharges from the electric “hot spots” linking Io with Jupiter.
Earth possesses an electrically active magnetotail (or plasma tail), extending for millions of kilometers, always pointed away from the Sun. Streams of charged particles from the Sun (the solar wind) are captured by the magnetosphere, collecting in a plasma sheet within the magnetotail, where they are held together by Earth’s magnetic field. The same structural factors doubtless govern Jupiter’s magnetosphere.
The light bursts from Jupiter’s aurorae are said to be the result of “magnetic reconnection” events. The solar wind is said to “stretch” its magnetic field like a rubber band. When it “snaps back” the over-stretched magnetic field lines explode, converting some of the “magnetic energy” to heat and light.
5. If a field changes from one instant to another, we cannot use “streaming video” to watch a given line move and change shape. This is because we must redraw a complete set of lines at each instant. It isn’t the same line that has moved it is the field that has changed. The two sets of lines describe the field at those two different times.
6. Magnetic lines of force do not move any more than lines of longitude do. A determined unwillingness to recognize this fact has led to the idea that lines can move toward each other, touch, merge, and then release energy. This last notion, if applied to circles of longitude that come together and “merge” at Earth’s poles, could be proposed as causing gravitational energy releases at those locations.
There is no such process as “magnetic merging” or “reconnection” of magnetic field lines in the real world.

Apart from the actual sporting event and the infamous halftime ceremonies that offers viewers spectacular live performances year for year, the annual Super Bowl is also notorious for its commercials which are by far the most expensive advertisements worldwide. Serving as perfect example for this year’s commercials, the spot of beer brand Bud Light has officially premiered Afrojack’s newest single ‘Ten Feet Tall’, with a free download being provided if you “shazam” the song. Contributing a ‘Cool Twist Edition’ of the final product for the spot, the Dutch heavyweight has now released the full track via PM:AM Recordings / Universal Music BV / Island Def Jam as yet another foretaste of his long-awaited album, which is going to be released this May.
Much like his recent hit ‘The Spark’, assisted by US-singer Spree Wilson, Afrojack’s latest output is a quite pop-oriented song that should easily make the crossover from dancefloors to radios. With an upcoming official music video to be shooted by Hype Williams, ‘Ten Feet Tall’ shows the more progressive side of the Wall Recordings boss, featuring soaring syths, ascending rises and the soothing vocals from LA-based indie singer/songwriter Stephen Wrabel.

Mediaworks and Classroom Technology Services, two areas of Information and Educational Technology that merged last fall, have a new name for the combined department: IET-Academic Technology Services.
The choice follows discussion and careful planning, both in and outside the department, with options reviewed by faculty and people from the campus library and the Teaching Resources Center. The naming committee wanted a choice that was logical and intuitive to the community, had a broad definition, and would still work if the department expands or changes its services in the years to come.
"These committees and individuals reviewed our proposal, and were unanimously in support of this approach," said ATS Director Liz Gibson. "All felt that this captured well the role of the combined unit."
ATS is a large and varied unit, offering services ranging from classroom tech support and audio-visual equipment rentals to podcasting, video production and graphic design. Its services are not changing.
IET has started to revise its brochures, signs and other material to remove the old names, and has acquired the Web domain name of ats.ucdavis.edu. A page should be active at that address shortly. For questions about the name change, contact Jennifer Winning at [email protected].
"I like the word 'academic' better than 'instruction' or 'classroom,' and I like 'technology' better than 'media,' " said Jon Wagner, director of the Teaching Resources Center and a professor of education. "The new terms are broader and suggest the complementary contributions of technology to both research and teaching."
Gail Yokote, associate university librarian for the sciences and interim associate university librarian for technical services, said the new name "more accurately reflected the range of services provided and the audience expected to be served."
"Also," she added, "it is easy to remember."

The body’s largest blood vessel, the aorta carries the blood pumped from the heart to the rest of the body. Because it is under high pressure, a problem with the aortic wall is potentially lethal.
The two most common aortic conditions are aneurysm (a weak area in the wall of the aorta that bulges outwards) and dissection (a tear in the inner lining of the aorta that allows blood in between the layers of the blood vessel). Treatment procedures either support or replace the damaged area to reduce the risk of a rupture.
When the aortic condition is severe or complex, surgery (to completely remove the damaged section of vessel and replace it with a synthetic graft) may be the best option. In some cases, the entire aortic arch may need to be replaced. Surgeons can also repair or remodel nearby sections of the aorta that appear to be in danger.
Procedures to repair and replace the aorta are highly specialized. At Temple, some aortic repairs can now be accomplished with endovascular techniques and new devices. Larger aortic repairs often require open surgery and sternotomy.
Penetrating aortic ulcers and intramural hematomas of the thoracic aorta are potentially dangerous and treated aggressively by Temple cardiovascular and vascular surgeons usually by an endovascular procedure. Aortic aneurysm or dissection can often be repaired by placement of a strong, tight-fitting mesh tube (stent) inside the vessel to support it. In this minimally invasive procedure, a surgeon guides the folded-up stent through the blood vessels to the site of the damage using a catheter. The stent then opens and is secured against the aortic wall, fixing the problem from the inside. This procedure is sometimes called thoracic EVAR, or TEVAR.
For patients with more complex conditions, open surgical repair of the aorta may be combined with another catheter-based procedure. For example, the patient might have surgery to repair an aneurysm in the ascending aorta, then an endovascular stent to strengthen the descending aorta. These hybrid procedures avoid multiple open surgeries and associated complications, and may be safer, and offer faster recovery.
If another heart problem contributes to the patient’s aortic condition, or vice versa, a Temple surgeon may recommend additional procedures or surgeries such as heart valve surgery, angioplasty, or insertion of a pacemaker or circulatory assist device. Some of these procedures can be done at the same time as the aortic arch surgeries mentioned above. Others are done as a follow-up. Many can now be performed using minimally invasive techniques.
Repairs to the thoracic aortic can be complex for many reasons. As a specialist center, the Temple Heart & Vascular Institute has access to sophisticated facilities—including hybrid operating rooms with special imaging equipment for complex procedures—and an experienced team who can help determine appropriate treatment measures and provide the highest standard of care before, during and after surgery.

Take note: I just had a really great lunch that consisted of burgers and fries right before taking these photos; reason why I felt and looked bloated. Haha! If you want to have big burgers with great meal deals, check out JW Marriott's Burger Lunch promotion. Wrote about it here: Burgers for Lunch - JW Marriott. Moving on from food, how's it going guys? Haven't really got around to blogging much due to the aftermath of both typhoon Hato and Pakhar. Never have I ever seen Macau, my home, go through so much devastation. It's been really dark lately; with fallen giant trees, knocked over walls and shattered glass everywhere. But Macau has been getting up, and now it's looking better... not as much as how we used to, but still better.
Gosh! I've totally went off topic! Sorry, was just expressing my feelings with the events that's been happening. Anyway, these pants were yet again another hand-me-down from my sister. It was kinda long that I had to find the right shoes if I didn't want it sweeping every street I pass by. It's also very pink, satin, and flamboyant... which I love! My top was also new at the time so I though of wearing them together. It looked like a great and breezy combination, considering that it was burning degrees the day we took these photos.
Not really sure until when would summer last. It's been a few glimps of sun and rain that makes it hard to tell! Well I don't really what else is there for me this time around, not even sure what to say anymore. I guess I'll talk to you next time! For now, ciao!

Day two I am not yet feeling the full withdrawals of the program (oh but I will) however while happily munching on my salad tonight I thought it needed more kick and only after adding more craisins (dumping them, really) did I wonder how such a tart berry could be sweet and why I was wanting to cram a full cup of them in my mouth? Ah. Sugar.
So tomorrow is day 1 again. But while the cranberry debacle is good enough I had a real issue tonight. First, I kept eating those damn cranberries thinking, Might as well finish them (I stopped myself after a few) and second I really thought about just having cheese and leftover pasta since I had already screwed up. Second day and I am ready to throw in the towel.
The truth is, nights are hard. Nights are where I have my binges and my snacking. They are the moments when life comes bubbling to the surface and I will do anything to ignore it. Usually a bunch of food will do.
I made it. With the help of peppermint tea and some coloring and Netflix. But I need a better plan.
Maybe no Netflix after 10. Maybe an after dinner walk. Maybe I keep coloring my damn book. All I know is, Whole30 is going to leave a hole where I used to put all my food feelings. I will now need to find a better way of handling that hole.

"Procter & Gamble Changed The Rules"
"P&G Cuts Advertising Allowances Leading To Diminished Brand Strength".....Now P&G Is Forced To Cut Brands!
Procter & Gamble led the Big "3" in slashing vendor advertising programs a number of years ago. Described in a more politically correct manner, P&G repositioned marketing/advertising funds to more accurately account for these funds. The new approach was to base advertising monies on the cases each retailer purchased.
However you want to look at it this is what happened. For generations Procter & Gamble demanded brand dominance with all of its products. Year after year P&G acquired brands and delivered success again and again.
"Advertising Center Store Items Effectively"
"The Ingredients Of The Center Store Purchase"
Most retailers today understand that big box retailers have a significant cost of goods advantage when it comes to center store products. Understanding that as a grocery merchandiser and not becoming complacent in your approach is the deciding factor in acheiving success or failure with your ad.

SHAFAQNA – In response to recent cases of violence against journalists by members of Israel’s security forces, Reporters Without Borders writes to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asking him to end the climate of impunity enjoyed by the Israel Defence Forces.
Reporters Without Borders, an international organization that defends freedom of information, would like to draw your attention to the many cases of violence against journalists by members of the Israeli security forces.
Two journalists working for Agence France-Presse – Italian videographer Andrea Bernardi and Palestinian photographerAbbas Momani – were savagely assaulted by Israeli soldiers while preparing to cover clashes between Israeli soldiers and young Palestinians in the West Bank village of Beit Furik on 25 September. The two men were easily identifiable as journalists, as shown in the video of the attack that was posted online. Nonetheless, they were brutally attacked and some of their equipment was smashed to the ground or confiscated.
The suspension of the officer in charge of the operation and the opening of an investigation represent a first step in the right direction but Reporters Without Borders believes that more measures must be taken to end the impunity enjoyed by he Israel Defence Forces.
This attack, which constitutes a direct and grave violation of freedom of information, is not an isolated case. Reporters Without Borders has registered many cases of violence against journalists by the Israeli police or IDF since the start of 2015.
During the Jewish New Year celebrations in September, at least ten journalists were attacked and prevented from covering the clashes in and around the plaza in front of East Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa Mosque. As well as being affected by the teargas fired by the police, some were targeted, manhandled and punched, and their equipment was damaged.
In 2014, the IDF killed a total of 15 professional and non-professional journalists during Operation Protective Edge in the Gaza Strip, which began on 8 July. Nine of these journalists were killed in the course of their work.
Since 2013, Reporters Without Borders has included the IDF on its list of “Predators of Press Freedom” because of its attacks against media outlets and journalists. Israel fell five places in the 2015 Reporters Without Borders press freedom index and is now ranked 101st out of 180 countries.
The attitude of some Israeli soldiers towards the media is unacceptable. Reporters Without Borders calls for effective investigations in order to punish all those responsible for attacks on freedom of information and thereby end this intolerable climate of impunity.

Original, hard driving, Americana Roots music featuring authentic three-part country harmony with stellar musicianship.
One of Nippertown’s very finest songwriters, Gaudet has a knack for crafting a mighty memorable melody – the kind that’ll get you singing along even on first listen. His delivery is wry and witty, often saying just as much with his pregnant pauses as he does with his lyrics. And lyrically, he’s poetic, literate and more than just clever.
After a string of excellent albums that culminated with “Give Up the Ghost” on the Prime CD label in 1998, Gaudet dropped out of the music scene for nearly a decade, but he came roaring back with with the sparkling “Re-Calling It Quits,” one of the best discs of 2007.
And fortunately we didn’t have to wait long for the follow-up, and this one is undoubtedly headed for the 2009 Nippertown Top 10.
While Gaudet fans will embrace the new CD with plenty of enthusiasm, “So Far So Good” is actually something of a departure from Gaudet’s earlier albums.
For one, this is a true band effort, and as befitting the first credited to Jim Gaudet and the Railroad Boys, the Boys – bassist Bob Ristau, mandolinist-lead guitarist Sten Isachsen and fiddler Tim Wechgelaer – get plenty of opportunity to shine in the spotlight.
But this isn’t just strictly a bluegrass album – not by any means. You’ll also find some whiskey-soaked roadhouse honky-tonkers (”Drive” and the love-gone-wrong nugget “Mind Over Matter”), a couple of chuggin’ train songs (the opening “Born to Be Lonesome” and the closing “Railroad Kill Bill”), some country twang (”Callin’ My Name”), a bit of finger-picking folk (”This Time”) and even some heavenly gospel (Gillian Welch’s “By the Mark,” the only cover song on the album).
In short, Gaudet has never sounded better or more confident. His voice is strong, and he takes more chances with it. Compare the title track with the version that Gaudet recorded for his 1994 album, “It’s a Colorful Life,” for example.
Much of the album was recorded live in Bender Studios in Delmar – the musicians playing all together at the same time, rather than layering on the one-at-a-time overdubs. And it shows. The proof is in the rich, warm, organic sound, which brings out the best in these stellar songs.

For those missing their catered ski holiday in Meribel, we’ll let you into a few French cooking secrets to ease your cravings. At Ski Basics, you enjoying a delicious home-cooked meal is important to us, so we handpick the best recipes to please all palates while still providing you with a nutritious diet suitable for an active weeks’ skiing holiday in the Alps.Of course the French are famous for their recipes, so here’s one for you to try at home to create your very own Meribel chalet!
In a pestle and mortar, crush the juniper berries with a sprinkling of peppercorns, salt and thyme and rub over the chicken legs before squeezing the garlic and bay leaves into the flesh, wrapping in cling film and leaving to marinade overnight in the fridge.
Wash the chicken legs and dab dry with kitchen paper before packing tightly in a roasting tin and covering completely in olive oil. Bring to the boil and cook at 150 °c for 2 hours before allowing to cool and placing in the fridge.
A couple of hours before serving time, remove from the fridge to let the fat soften and remove from the oil. Cook at 200 °c and put in a shallow roasting tin for 20 minutes or until the skin is crispy and golden.
To create a jus, soften the shallots before adding the wine and stock and allowing to simmer until reduced. Add the herbs to taste, with a dash of salt and pepper.
Finish with French beans. Boil until al dente (about 3-4) minutes before removing to chilled water. Fry the remaining garlic in olive oil and add the beans with a drop of water to steam, before adding the tomato strips.
Serve with warmed baguette for a traditional French dish!
Don’t fancy getting in the kitchen yourself? The good news is that our catered ski holidays in Meribel are available to book now for winter season 2013/2014, so you can look forward to a tasty week of food in your very own Meribel chalet!

The Learning Technologies exit poll quickly became one of our most popular campaigns, so why did we can it?
We’ve had lots of people asking where the Learning Technologies Exit Poll is again this year. For eight years (until the 2018 show), we questioned LT’s visitors as they left the building, crunched all the numbers and then published our poll’s findings within 24 hours.
We’ve asked literally thousands of show visitors hundreds of questions over the years and we think we’ve learned everything we can.
Are visitors browsing or in buying mode?
Do they have authority or budget to buy?
Do they usually find what they are looking for?
When visitors pre-plan their visit, what gets an exhibitor on their must-see shortlist?
These are the deeper analytical questions our exit polling has helped us answer over the past eight years, and the persona studies we’ve developed have become invaluable assets.
When you know what motivates L&D professionals to get out and visit, what they want to find inside, and what they remember when they leave, you just come up with better ideas for more effective marketing support.
We might be wrong, but it just feels like we’ve learned all we can from the exit poll, so we’re moving on.
Our new gig is the Top 100 learning development companies chart. There’s a global edition of the chart which monitors over 1,000 companies, then we create special editions for occasions like Learning Technologies.
It’s a new way for us to explore what’s going on.

THERE’S annihilation awakening about the attending of the new Z4 but its Australian designer’s adulation activity with BMW sports cars goes way back.
“This one’s acutely emotional, because there’s such a claimed connection,” says Calvin Luk. As a kid growing up in Sydney, he dreamt of anytime alive as a artist for BMW.
The brand’s Z-badged two-seaters were the capital attraction. “I admired the roadsters the most,” he recalls.
Luk, now in his aboriginal 30s, has formed as a BMW artist for a decade. The new Z4 is his third exoteric architecture into production, abutting the accepted X1 and X3 SUVs.
To bang off the action of abstraction the new Z4, the architecture aggregation spent a day active old Z cars from BMW’s ancestry collection, including the drop-doored Z1 from the backward 1980s, the mid-’90s Z3 and the rare, retro-look Z8 from 2000. Luk collection to the museum-car accommodated in his own first-generation Z4, which went into assembly in 2002.
But the ancillary appearance of the new Z4 isn’t like any antecedent Z. “This car is absolutely diving to the front, it’s absolutely array of advancing the road,” says Luk.
The beheld aftereffect is created by the curve abounding from the new Z4’s angled air blow aperture aloof abaft its advanced wheelarches. This characteristic beheld affection “drives the accomplished sculpture”, according to its designer.
The new Z4 lives up to its looks — at atomic in top-of-the-range M40i form, which was the alone alternative BMW brought to the car’s all-embracing barrage in Portugal.
As able-bodied as the M40i, which has a turbo 3.0-litre in-line six beneath its bonnet, BMW will aftermath the Z4 in 30i and 20i versions, both with turbo 2.0-litre fours. An eight-speed automated is accepted in all.
The three-model agency will ability Australia in about March. BMW Australia hasn’t yet finalised appraisement but the M40i is acceptable to be at atomic $125,000.
In the M40i, the agent is superb, carrying lots of adorable bound accompanied by a affable bass bankrupt note. This is one of the world’s best sixes, no question.
Equally bland is the Z4’s accomplished auto. It slurs from accessory to accessory back canoeing but becomes a abrupt shifter back the disciplinarian ups the pace.
BMW’s new two-seater handles as a sports car should. The abeyance feels firm, admitting not over-stiff, akin back the M40i’s Active Experience Control about-face is set to Comfort.
The adjustment is that the car corners collapsed and fast, responding absolutely to every tiny movement of its thick-rimmed, leather-trimmed council wheel.
Selecting Sport or Sport stiffens the abeyance in increments for akin bluff administration — it’s best adored for smooth-surfaced roads. In these modes, agent and manual akin are added acute to the accelerator pedal, at the aforementioned time as absolution added va-va-vroom appear from the tailpipes.
Roof-down on a coil clifftop alley aerial aloft the Atlantic Ocean alfresco Lisbon, the Z4 M40i absolutely lived up to the maker’s Pure Active Pleasure slogan.
Despite its animation focus, the new Z4 doesn’t avoid applied concerns. Compared to its predecessor, this one is best and wider, and has a abundant beyond boot.
The 50 per cent access in burden amplitude is a aftereffect of BMW’s accommodation to accord this one a able soft-top instead of the space-hungry folding auto is acclimated for the antecedent model. The 281L cossack accommodation is the aforementioned roof bottomward or roof up.
With the bolt roof up, aback eyes is bound but the autogenous is a quieter and cosier environment. This is a accelerated roof, too, demography alone 10 abnormal to accomplish at up to 50km/h.
The Z4’s cockpit provides admiring basement for two in a chic ambient in looks and feel alike.
There’s a aerial akin of accepted assurance tech, too. Pedestrian admonishing with burghal braking function, blow and lane-departure admonishing are amid the accepted driver-assist systems.
The options account will accommodate appealing able-bodied aggregate in BMW’s driver-assistance arsenal. It’s a agnate adventure with the infotainment.
Modern and able-bodied to attending at — and accomplished fun to drive on an abandoned ambagious alley — BMW’s new sports car doesn’t carelessness accustomed active needs. It’s the affectionate of sports car to accomplish Sunday mornings absolutely memorable and Monday to Friday calmly endurable.

Superlite Noodles, also known as shirataki noodles, are made from the root of the Asian konjac plant. The konjac plant primarily consists of a water-soluble dietery fiber called Konjac glucomannan and has been used in Japan for centuries. Glucomannan is one of nature’s richest sources of fiber boasting many health and weight loss benefits. Superlite noodles are carb free, sugar free, fat free, gluten free, soy free, wheat free, high in fiber, low in sodium, a highly alkaline food, and keeps you regular.
By replacing regular carbohydrates in your diet with Supelite Noodles you will immediately lower your daily calorie intake. You will cut out further calories by eating less because Superlite Noodles are so high in soluble fiber that it will keep you feeling fuller for much longer. The soluble fiber slows the body’s digestion process, which helps to absorb more nutrients, lower blood sugar levels, and block fat absorption.
When making a stir-fry: Put your wok or your pan on a high heat. Add a healthy oil to the pan (we suggest olive oil, peanut oil, or avocado oil). Add some low sodium soy sauce, some chilli paste, or some pesto to taste. Fry for 2 minutes. Add the rest of your ingredients.
When making a saucy dish: Bring water to a boil in a pot, add a dash of salt and boil noodles for 1 minute. Drain.
Water, konjac glucomannan, food-grade calcium hydroxyde.

The presence of a CCTV system in any commercial business is nothing new – the practice of making use of CCTV installers to place cameras in our businesses has been popular now for well over 20 years. However, many people still believe that these systems are just designed to capture footage from inside of the building and used as evidence whenever an incident rears its head – in fact, CCTV has a multitude of other benefits, aside from its abilities to record.
Here at Maxtag, we have been operating as CCTV installers and retail security vendors for over 2 decades now. Throughout that time, we have picked up a unique knowledge of retail security, as well as growing relationships with some of the most innovative and well-respected device manufacturers in the industry. As a result, we are able to offer not just great products that make a huge difference to the security of our clients, but also advice and assistance on how to get the best out of CCTV – so please read on to learn about the (other) benefits of CCTV.
Get A Discount On Your Property Insurance. An insurance company's game is risk; the higher the chances of them paying out on a policy, the more they'll charge for insurance to cover their costs in the event of a payout. Therefore, it stands to sense that a building that is able to pose less of a risk to the company paying out, is likely to be 'rewarded' with a lower insurance policy. As building insurance is mandatory in many cases, this offers an agreeable halfway house deal for the building operator and the insurance company – the operator gets their mandatory policy for a low price, whilst the company receive money safe in the knowledge that they are unlikely to pay out.
Making use of CCTV installers to implement a system within a building will help greatly with lowering those insurance rates. Research has shown that properties that have been monitored by cameras are less likely to be stolen from or damaged – apart from the fact they can record images, they also offer a deterrent that makes anyone with bad designs on the property, think twice.
Increase Your Deterrents With Signs. Whilst the obvious sight of a CCTV camera provides a deterrent for many, sometimes a literal sign is needed to get the message through to someone that the area is indeed being monitored. A great example is the use of signs and stickers in changing rooms of a clothing retailer – whilst the building operator cannot place cameras to monitor what happens inside of the changing rooms, they can place up signs that tell people that their exit from the changing rooms is being monitored. Often, this works to dissuade people who may have designs on stealing items via this classic method – the signs and CCTV working hand-in-hand to prevent shoplifting.
Footfall Analytics and Counting. One of the major benefits of modern CCTV installations have over their predecessors is their recording qualities. Classically, CCTV images have been portrayed as 'grainy footage that struggles to identify the features of a person'. Today, CCTV images can be recorded in high-definition, stored on The Cloud and transmitted to smartphones and tablets, live or recorded. With such depth of quality, CCTV images can be used to create statistics on your footfall – successfully and accurately counting how many people enter your store, which displays are interacted with the most – even which areas need more staff to attend to. Once you are able to understand your customer's behaviour, their buying patterns and trends, can you shape your store to better serve them – no doubt making for an increased level of business success.
Monitor Staff Performance. We'd love to be able to trust everyone in life, sadly the reality is very different. As a retailer, you're likely to employ people that you don't know very well and therefore, not aware of their nature or intentions. Whether they constantly turn up late, help themselves to stock or aren't where they're supposed to be in the store, a more-modern CCTV system can help to manage your staff, no matter where you may be.
Reporting Issues Outside Of The Property. It isn't just the inside of their buildings that operators wish to monitor; with incidences of traffic disruption, road closures, building works and anti-social behaviour regularly occurring outside of their properties, CCTV installers can provide building operators with the means to gather evidence to report to local authorities. Many incidents that occur outside a property won't strictly be a criminal act – but will still affect the business. As a result, CCTV images will help the business to make claims for loss of income due to the issues, or simply for some action to be taken.
If you're looking to take advantage of the immense benefits that a modern CCTV installation can have on your business, then we at Maxtag can help. No matter the size of your business, your requirements or budget, we are able to put in place a system that is able to both protect and increase the effectiveness of your store.

The “rent or buy a house” question has no clear answers. It depends a lot on your situation, where you live in the world and what your plans for the future are.
However, there are some general considerations that can give you better clarity so that you make the right choice.
EU’s statistical office, Eurostat, has charted how frequently people move from one home to another.
Within a five-year period, 17.7 percent had changed their housing in EU.
It’s a decent percentage of citizens who must take some pretty important choices about their housing situation.
The goal or vision of being financially free requires that you have a good balance in terms of saving and investing.
You get nowhere if you bought an expensive house and must pay off a lot of debt and interest.
It’s actually a paradox to have an expensive house that you can not use anyway because you have to work more to pay it.
In addition, you should also consider the other costs that are affected by your choice. Eg. your location in relation to your work and daily life. It can quickly become an expensive pleasure with long distances.
Personally, I don’t want a payment that exceeds 20% of my income but again it can be difficult to compare our different situations. However, you should make you some considerations.
To uncover this great “rent or buy a house” topic, I have received inputs from Jeff Anttila from REDFIN.
REDFIN is a well established real estate brokerage company that represents people buying and selling homes in America.
You might be moving to a new area or maybe your boss gave you a nice bump in your salary and you’re thinking about upgrading to a nicer house or condo.
Whatever the case may be, you’re questioning whether if you should continue renting or if now is the right time to buy a home.
There are no easy answers to this “rent or buy a house” question; however, here are six things to consider that may help you with your decision.
The decision to either rent or buy a house may very well come down to the specific area you want to live and what that housing market looks like.
Is it cheaper to rent a home in your area of interest? Or, is buying a home the more affordable option?
The real estate market can vary widely from coast to coast and from cities to suburbs to rural farming communities.
However, the law of supply and demand always remains the same.
For example, if there are few rental properties on the market and the demand is high (there are a lot of people wanting to rent), prices on available properties will most likely go up.
Some areas, like Seattle and San Francisco, housing prices soared during summer 2018 because the number of available properties for sale simply couldn’t match the demand.
💡 Start by looking into both markets in your area: rental properties versus houses for sale.
You may be pleasantly surprised that now is the time to buy a home. Or, maybe you need to wait a bit for the housing market to cool down so prices are more within your price range, and giving you time to save.
Though mortgages can be cheaper than rent in some areas, buying a house is still an expensive undertaking.
One of the first things you can do to help you understand your financial situation better and how much of a house you can actually afford is to use an Affordability Calculator (This one is for the American home buyers).
Though calculators such as these will not guarantee a home loan, they will give you a great overview of what you can afford for a mortgage.
There are several costs associated with buying a house. When you rent you generally pay for first and last month’s rent, a security deposit, and possibly a pet deposit.
When buying a house you should plan on costs such as a down payment (typically 20%), closing costs, inspections, insurance, taxes, and possibly several other costs that often are unknown to first-time homebuyers.
Buying a home can be a great investment, but if you’re not financially prepared, you may want to focus on paying down high-interest debt first, increasing your credit score, and save your money.
Buying real estate means you get to take advantage of tax breaks, such as deducting the interest you pay on your mortgage loan.
Most homeowners receive a statement from their lenders by the end of January (form 1098 in America) with the amount of mortgage interest paid during the previous year, which is often deductible.
Homeowners may also deduct annual real estate taxes paid based on the assessed value of their property, and certain energy-efficient home improvements.
You can install energy efficient heating and cooling systems, make certain roof changes, windows and doors, and other improvements.
These deductions may vary from year to year, so again, check the IRS.gov website (if you are from America) for the most up-to-date information regarding tax breaks for homeowners.
Straight and simple, renters have the freedom to move around more often and more freely.
Homeowners are committing themselves to an area for a longer period.
If a renter doesn’t like their neighbor, neighborhood, or city, they can move relatively quickly to a new area without any of the stress of prepping and selling a home. A process that can easily takes months or even longer.
For a homeowner to move to a new area, it’s not as simple as waiting for a lease to end before moving on.
To sell a home, a homeowner needs to get a listing agent, choose a competitive price for their area, prepare and stage their home, get listing photos, and do open houses to promote their property. To say the least, it’s a process that takes time.
💡 Ask yourself what you need most in your current life stage in relation to your goals and vision?
Home equity equals future wealth. Homeowners pay a monthly mortgage payment, which gradually reduces the principal mortgage amount over time.
Along with the value of real estate generally increasing over time, homeowners build equity in their home, meaning that homeowners own a little more of their property with every mortgage payment.
The result is that when they sell their home, they will get enough money to pay off their home loan, and they will have a surplus that they can use towards the purchase of their next home.
The more home equity one builds the more wealth they’ll have in the future.
In contrast, renters still make a monthly payment, but these funds do nothing to contribute to the renter’s long-term wealth.
Instead, their monthly rent payment typically helps someone else build equity in the rented property.
One of the primary benefits of renting a home is that you are not responsible for maintenance and repairs, the property owner is.
Homeowners must maintain the upkeep and integrity of their house.
If something breaks such as an appliance like a fridge, or worse, you have plumbing or heating issues, these unexpected costs can quickly add up and become very expensive to repair.
Renters don’t have to worry about the financial burden when such unexpected problems arise.
In some cases, renters maintain the property’s lawn (particularly if they rent a single-family house), but for those renting an apartment or condominium, property owners generally maintain outdoor and shared spaces.
Should you rent or buy a house? The decision of renting vs. buying a home is a personal one, and the right choice for every individual or family depends on multiple factors.
A careful review of your current financial circumstances, the market conditions, and other factors will help you determine if renting or owning is the best choice for you.
I hope this “Should I rent or buy a house” article gave you some thoughts about your current situation.
Good luck in your housing hunt!
I am writing continuously while I’m through the process myself. I therefore only write what has worked for me.
Thanks to REDFIN and Jeff for contributing in this blog post.
The next blog post is a great place to continue. It's about how money affirmations can help you reach financial independence.
Great post on renting vs. buying!
Buying is not as “set in stone” as it used to be for sure. Up until 2008 it was a no-brainer, but now we have to factor in the possibility of a house coming down in value 50% or more in a crash. They seem to always come back so if you’re in for the long run then it’s not a problem, but if you’re looking to grow, it certainly could be.
Just came across you blog and enjoying it so far. Thanks for posting!
I completely agree. Future plans are so important to consider in these contexts so it won’t end up being an expensive pleasure.

LAWRENCE — Bill Self knows the Kansas math. No matter what his roster looks like next fall, his fan base will expect an eighth straight Big 12 regular-season championship and a team capable of making a deep March run.
But right now, the math looks stickier than usual. It is mid-May, and with the late signing period coming to an end Wednesday, the Jayhawks still have four scholarships available for next season. For Self, the problem could get so much easier to solve in the coming weeks with some simple addition.
Five-star shooting guard Trevor Lacey of Huntsville, Ala., will sign on Wednesday with either Kansas, Kentucky or Alabama. Five-star forward DeAndre Daniels and three-star forward Jamari Traylor, who both play at IMG Academies in Bradenton, Fla., also have decisions to make. Daniels, rated the No. 10 overall player in the 2011 class by Rivals.com, is considering KU, Duke and Texas, but there's a prevalent feeling out there that Duke is no longer in play. Traylor is looking at KU, Indiana, Oklahoma State and Texas Tech.
"How we do in the next 10 days," Self said Sunday, "could very well determine whether or not we have a chance to win the league next year or have a chance just to keep our head above water. I think we'll be good no matter what. I like the guys. If we're able to finish strong (in recruiting), we'll be good."
"Our bargaining chip to try to convince them to do something immediately probably isn't as strong now," Self said. "They all know that we need them and want them."
As of now, Kansas returns what should be a solid nucleus in guards Taylor, Elijah Johnson and Travis Releford and forward Thomas Robinson. Center Jeff Withey will have his chance to earn a starting job, and incoming freshmen Naadir Tharpe, McLemore and Anderson will need to provide depth if nothing else. Conner Teahan, a former preferred walk-on who is now on scholarship, and walk-on Justin Wesley could also contribute.
"We have playing time to offer," Self said, "but it's not gonna be easy for anyone to come in and beat out guys that are returning. They're gonna have to come in and work and certainly perform in order to have a chance to play a lot."

As a little girl practicing the fundamentals of ballet, I longed to be a ballerina on Halloween. Why a ballerina? I had this thing about tutus. To me they were magical! They seem to suggest that one could fly. I wanted to don my ballet gear and go from house to house collecting candy in my ballet best! And a tutu would be the just the thing to set it off.
I guess around the age of ten I came to realize that it would never be warm enough on Halloween to wear a tutu without a coat covering it up. In that case, what would be the point?
Today I marvel at little girls walking down the street as free as can be wearing tutus, just because! It doesn’t have to be Halloween, or a party or any special event. These little cuties wear their tutus because it’s Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or any day of the week.
Today’s high in New York will be 56 degrees on this Halloween. I never thought I’d be happy to say it’s still too cool to wear a tutu without a coat on Halloween. But that might not be the case if we continue on this trajectory of each year being hotter than the last.
This Friday there will be a high of 73 degrees, days following Halloween. The old adage “be careful of what you ask for because you might get it” came to me as I marched across the Brooklyn Bridge to commemorate the 5th Anniversary of Super Storm Sandy. It was 70 degrees and it’s the last days of October. And though it feels good, we know this ain’t right!
All these years later, I wondered if my childhood wish for Halloween to be warm could have been that powerful? No, I don’t believe I’m quite that all-powerful. But with hard work, determination, education and presentations to spread the news, I do believe all of us are strong enough to influence change so that the seasons become what they should be, including, cold on Halloween wherever in the world it’s supposed to be cold.
If you’re a New Yorker, please vote in the upcoming elections on November 7. And please vote NO to Proposition 1. This is a proposal to amend the state constitution. Given our current political climate, this would not be a good move for us, or the planet. Your Weather Sister is depending on you to do your part.
And guess what? You and I can wear a tutu any time we please. Happy Halloween!

I have a lot of freelance design projects going on right now which is wonderful, but I took a break from my regular work this weekend to help my Uncle. He asked me to assist him put together the media materials for a memorial retrospective that he is hosting tonight for his wife, my Aunt Ivett, who passed away this summer.
I knew that Ivett worked as a Broadway actress early in her career but I had never known the details. I spent the last few days reading all of her reviews and going through her photos. Ivett was not only in some big productions she was also lavished with praise from the critics. My Aunt was already done with Broadway when I knew her and had moved on to work as a soap opera actress, then a Casting Agent, and finally as an Agent. It was a nice surprise to find out that she was one of the few people to make a great success of her time in the theater.
In case you were wondering, yes that is Rue Mcclanahan (Rose of the Golden Girls).
