We're not surprised since he comes from fine East London acting stock, with a mother known for playing the legendary Bianca Jackson in EastEnders...
And it was Patsy who revealed he's her son, after sharing an image of the pair on her Instagram account, writing: "We didn't do bad did we my amazing boy... Always trying to guide you ..
"I said trying to.. Our children are not our property we do not own them .. We love them !!!! @fancyagram ... I did say try.. Lol".
And before you try stalking Charley, we're sorry to break the news that his Instagram is private so you'll have to follow him and hope he accepts you - we're pretty sure he's about to get 16,000 more followers, too.
Patsy also shared an image of Charley alone, writing: "When a star is born you can't stop em!!!! ... SOOOOO proud Of our big boy..
"Killin it right now .. Movies .. TV .. Directing .. Go get em tiger we love you to the moon and back !!!! @fancyagram can't wait to see u soon .. @gqstyle @gq"

One of Patsy's followers wrote next to her photo: "That's never your lad! Blimey, where does time go? You've got a good looking fella there!"
Get ready for your Instagram to explode, Charley.

I'm not very good at rhyming, but I'm good at rambling. Here's a poem with no title.
I never could get used to your kisses.
They always felt like a door being locked, a secret being told.
I'm not sure what we were doing, all hushed and closed.
Maybe inside of an infinite skyline we were watched by shadows and whispering leaves.
There was an open door that we kept locking.
But enough of the quiet. I want love to be open, full and willing.
I want it to be equal and the color of the sun on fluffy clouds.
The way the clouds look on a summer night. That kind of pink and happy.
I want it to work and work hard.
I don't want it to be easy.
I want a bike built for two.
One seat for me. One seat for you.
I want the doors to be always open, waiting for us to rush in.
The beds won't be made, the kitchen will be clean, the kids will be dirty.
We might build a house or a garden or both.
But you chose a shadow and a secret.
Hidden behind closed windows,
Inside a quiet house.

ACLU of Rhode Island Announces Settlement in Case of School Softball Coach Who Was Denied Job Because of His Gender
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PROVIDENCE, RI — The American Civil Liberties Union of Rhode Island announced today that it has settled a discrimination complaint against the Town of North Smithfield on behalf of Thomas Bourgeois, who was denied appointment as a school coach last year solely because of his gender.
“I am pleased that this matter has been resolved, and that Mr. Bourgeois will be able to start coaching in a job for which he is eminently qualified,” said ACLU of Rhode Island Executive Director Steven Brown.
The settlement, agreed to by the town school committee at a meeting last night, resolved an administrative complaint filed by the ACLU in December with the Rhode Island Commission on Human Rights. In a complaint filed by ACLU volunteer attorney Lynette Labinger, the ACLU charged that Bourgeois had been passed over for selection to serve as the North Smithfield Junior High girls’ softball coach solely so that a woman could be hired for the position instead.
After Bourgeois applied for the position, he was told he was the only candidate. In addition, his name appeared as the recommended candidate on the advance agenda for the School Committee meeting. On the night of the meeting, however, his name was struck out, and that of a woman written in his place, the ACLU said in legal papers. When the school superintendent, who is no longer employed by the district, was asked to explain his actions at a school committee meeting the next month, he stated that he believed that a woman should be appointed to the position, and that he had searched out a woman candidate, instead of recommending Bourgeois, for that reason.
At the time Bourgeois was denied the appointment on the basis of his sex, North Smithfield employed other men as coaches and assistant coaches for girls’ sports. Bourgeois had 10 years’ experience coaching softball in the town’s Little League program when he applied for the school position.
As part of the settlement, Brown said, the ACLU agreed to waive its entitlement to attorneys’ fees.
Today’s settlement follows on the heels of the ACLU’s closure of its successful lawsuit last year against the Town when it attempted to hire as the municipal fire department the all-male, all-white private fire rescue service serving North Smithfield.
Every month, you'll receive regular roundups of the most important civil rights and civil liberties developments. Remember: a well-informed citizenry is the best defense against tyranny.

All names are redacted and some details have been changed to protect the women's identities.
"My father rejected me because he was ashamed of me, after someone abused me sexually. Later on my entire family abandoned me and I ended up in prostitution."
The words are Alicia's. She fled her home country and joined a relative in Europe, but after losing her job as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, she found herself in a vulnerable situation again and was lured to Sweden by an older woman who promised her a job. Once there, Alicia was forced into prostitution and endured rape and psychological violence. One day, the police in southern Sweden raided the house and arrested two pimps who were detained pending trial.
Alicia participated in the police interrogation and subsequent trial, which eventually led to the perpetrators being sentenced to prison. Having no other means of support, Alicia returned to prostitution, but a caring police officer continued to keep in touch with her and persuaded her to contact Talita.
Alicia took part in our one-year rehabilitation program and enthusiastically participated in everything from Swedish classes to internships. Today, she is doing well and her dream is to go to university, preferably to study law.
Rita was lured to Sweden from a poor country with the promise of a job as a cleaner, but instead of a cleaning job, a life of utter misery awaited her where she was forced to sell her body, night after night, to sex buyers under threat.
Some of the men mocked and abused her, calling her a 'cheap slut'. One night, we met her after the police asked us to come to an apartment where they were conducting a raid. Rita listened when we told her that help was available, but was scared and refused. A few months later, the police found her again - and this time she dared to accept Talita's help.
Rita moved into one of our shelters and joined the program. In the beginning she was afraid that the traffickers would seek out her mother in her home country and punish her for her daughter's escape from them, but when nothing happened and her mother was fine, Rita was able to land and focus on her own inner healing.
Some time ago we celebrated the end of her year with us, and when she received her diploma and flowers, we came face to face with a completely different girl than the one we met that night when she arrived. Rita is a great person, a real fighter, and she has already got her first job.

The former attorney for the scorned Larry Nassar will represent a Washington Township man who likely will receive a second trial for the death of his girlfriend’s son.
Shannon Smith will represent Ronald Dimambro Jr., 31, whose 2014 conviction for killing 2-year-old Damian Sutton was overturned last October by the state Supreme Court due to an evidentiary issue.
Smith appeared Thursday at Macomb County Circuit Court for a pretrial in the case, although she and Assistant Macomb Prosecutor Josh Van Laan didn’t go on the record in front of Judge Jennifer Faunce and Dimambro was not transported from prison to court.
“This is a very sad case all the way around,” Smith told The Macomb Daily.
A pretrial in the case was scheduled for July 12.
Smith was retained by Dimambro’s family shortly after the high court ruling.
She was the attorney for Nassar, who is accused of molesting dozens of female student athletes as a sports doctor at Michigan State University. Nassar, 54, a Farmington Hills native, was sentenced earlier this year to 40 years in prison in two state courts in the Lansing area after admitting to 10 counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct. In December, he was sentenced to 60 years in prison on federal pornography charges. He is currently in federal prison in Arizona.
MSU recently agreed to pay $425 million to 332 women who say they were molested by Nassar and $75 million to future claimants.
On Wednesday, USA Gymnastics CEO Kerry Perry apologized for the “horrific acts” of Nassar, who served as a doctor for that organization, at a congressional hearing.
Smith has been involved in other high-profile cases in metro-Detroit, typically those involving children as victims of a sex crime or violence. She is representing Northville Dr. Jumana Nagarwala, one of the defendants in the federal genital-mutilation case in U.S. District Court in Detroit, with a trial scheduled for January.
In the Dimambro case, attorneys said they expect a fall trial, unless there’s a surprise plea in the case.
Dimambro was convicted of first-degree child abuse and felony murder for the 2013 death of Damian. Prosecutors say Dimambro delivered two fatal head blows to Damian while under his care in his home. He was sentenced to life in prison without parole. He was sentenced to life in prison without parole.
Judge Faunce, who presided over the trial in January 2016, ordered a new trial based on the prosecution and medical examiner withholding 32 autopsy photos from Dimambro’s defense attorney, known as a Brady violation. Faunce opined the outcome may have been different if the photos were included.
The appeals court in Decmeber upheld Faunce’s decision in a 2-1 vote. The top court agreed in a 4-3 decision.

There is at least one fatal flaw in Rep. Paul Ryan's kinder, gentler version of how conservatives would change federal antipoverty programs: The proposal at the center of his vision, as are the conservatives in whose hands Ryan would entrust it, would be neither kind nor gentle.
The core of Ryan's latest proposal to remake the nation's safety net programs in a conservative mold, "Expanding Opportunity in America," would be to combine 11 major federal programs into a single block grant to the states. Those programs would include the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (best known as "food stamps"), Temporary Assistance to Needy Families ("welfare"), several housing subsidy programs, child care assistance, low-income heating and weatherization assistance, aid to dislocated workers and the Community Development Block Grant.
His aims sound noble. There are a lot of community organizations that are making a difference in lifting people into economic self-sufficiency. But federal aid programs aren't integrated well and their rules don't always fit the real-world needs of people working to get out of an economic crisis, Ryan said. "My thinking is, listen to the 'boots on the ground'—the local leaders who are changing the status quo. Let them try unique and innovative ideas with a proven track record. And then test the results," he said.
But the block-grant approach has fundamental flaws. A 2014 analysis by the Center for Law and Social Policy, or CLASP, summarized the problems: "Block grants do not respond well to economic downturns like the recent Great Recession, thus leaving families, communities, and states without resources just when they need them most. They are ill-suited to supporting core national goals – such as ensuring that every American starts life healthy and well-nourished – but instead contribute to disparate life chances based on where a child is born. And, since there is no direct link between spending and need, Congressional appropriations for block grants tend to shrink over time."
Ryan's promise that the consolidation of these programs is not a cover for cutting the total federal spending on these programs is belied by Ryan's own spending proposals as the chairman of the House Budget Committee. The Coalition for Human Needs lists Ryan's promise as one of their "head smackers."
Ryan’s budgets, annually passed by the House for the past few years, would drastically cut most of the programs he would pool in this block grant. SNAP/food stamps is one of the programs in the proposed “Opportunity Grant” – his most recent budget slashed SNAP by $137 billion over 10 years. The other programs that could be added to this super-block grant include the nation’s biggest rental assistance programs, home heating assistance, and a job training program for dislocated workers. These programs require annual appropriations, and the Ryan budget proposed deep cuts to appropriations other than defense – about twice as deep as those that would be required if Congress lets new rounds of automatic (“sequestration”) cuts take place. So it is very hard to see how he could keep the promise that the lumped-together programs would get the same funding they do now if his own budget (approved by the House) were to become law.
Further, we only have to look to the implementation of the Affordable Care Act for a vision of what would likely go wrong if Ryan's vision were implemented. Earlier this week, The New York Times noted that red-state refusal to accept federal funds to expand Medicaid has widened disparities in access to health insurance and care. "Recent surveys show that those states that did expand [Medicaid] have significantly reduced their uninsured population. An Urban Institute survey found that the uninsurance rate among adults under 65 had declined by 6.1 percentage points in states that expanded, compared with only 1.7 percentage points in those that didn’t," the Times reported.
Ryan said that he formulated his latest plan based on visits with low-income people and the grassroots organizations that work with them. He clearly learned some positive lessons from his face-to-face conversations with people on the front lines of poverty. One of those lessons is his appreciation for the importance of the Earned Income Tax Credit, widely credited as an effective way to get cash into the hands of low-wage workers. Another is his understanding that low-income people need a set of services that work together to help them get back on their feet.
But, as the CLASP analysis points out, federal programs don't need radical restructuring in order to be made to work more effectively. Officials in at least six states under the Work Support Strategies initiative – Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, North Carolina, Rhode Island, and South Carolina – are integrating aid programs under their existing structure. All of these states "have discovered enormous opportunities to integrate their administration of these programs," the report said.
The biggest elements missing in Ryan's proposal are the things that would do the most to lift people out of poverty – steps toward creating a full-employment economy of living-wage jobs. Ryan talks of holding aid recipients to "contracts" that would require them to take steps toward getting jobs as a condition of their aid (and "sticks" for not meeting the terms of the contract), but says nothing about what should happen in an economy, like the one we have now, when there is above-average slack in the labor market and in which the number of unemployed people are still close to three times the number of jobs available. What he does say is that the money in his opportunity grant plan can only be spent on direct aid, "not roads, not bridges, no funny business."
But what Ryan dismisses as "funny business" has to be a key part of the agenda for lifting families out of poverty. A plan now to invest in bringing our public assets, such as our transportation network, schools, up to 21st century needs would create millions of good jobs. So would helping states replace the hundreds of thousands of teachers and other public workers laid off during the Great Recession.
Also, if Ryan had really been listening to the low-wage workers he encountered in his touring the country, he would have, on the fifth anniversary of the last time the federal minimum wage increased, to $7.25 an hour, that it is time to increase that wage. However noble it might be to expand tax credits for low-wage workers, that is a poor (and ultimately deeply problematic) substitute for paying working people a wage for full-time work that lifts them out of poverty.
A calculator newly posted by the Center for Economic and Policy Research shows that if the minimum wage had merely kept pace with inflation since 1999, workers would have earned close to an additional $6.1 billion. If the minimum wage in 1999 had been raised to match its peak value in 1968, workers would have earned an additional $300.8 billion.
Ryan's fellow conservatives are deeply hostile to any moves that would address the ways the economy is rigged against working people and has moved wealth away from working people and into the hands of the ultra-rich. They also too often regard people in poverty as people who deserve their fate, and thus our aid to them should be begrudging at best. Those realities overshadow any efforts Ryan might make to paint himself as a "compassionate conservative." Ryan says he wants to have a conversation about how to address lingering poverty in America, but unfortunately we already know how far that conversation is going to go as long as right-wing extremists have a stranglehold on government.

125I radiation downregulates TRPV1 expression through miR ‑1246 in neuroblastoma cells.
125I radiation downregulates TRPV1 expression through miR‑1246 in neuroblastoma cells. Oncol Rep. 2019 Apr 22;: Authors: Zhang D, Xu H, Wang Y, Wang K, Wang Y, Wu B, Zhu J, Peng L, Gao J, Li Z Abstract Iodine‑125 (125I) seed radiation applied around the celiac ganglion can relieve the refractory pain in pancreatic cancer. In an in vitro cell radiation model of human neuroblastoma cell lines, the impact of 125I radiation on the expression of transient receptor potential vanilloid‑1 (TRPV1) was investigated. The results indicated that the radiation delivering doses 3.12 Gy significantly reduced cell viability. The reduced TRPV1 mRNA level was dependent on the doses, while the reduced protein level occurred at lower doses (2.63 and 4.27 Gy), then returned to normal at an intermediate dose of 5.09 Gy, and decreased again at higher doses (5.91 and 6.73 Gy). The miRNA profiling at the dose of 2.63 Gy revealed 32 and 22 miRNAs that were significantly upregulated and downregulated, respectively. In addition, the upregulated miR‑1246 target, regulated the expression of TRPV1, indicating that miR‑1246 may be a new therapeutic target for pancreatic pain.

Authors: Rustagi N, Pareek P, Verma M, Sharma PK Abstract Quality home-based care for patients with the end-stage disease is increasingly being preferred. Responding to disease associated symptoms and complications may pose an array of challenges in evolving palliative care systems, as no formal institutional mechanism exists to respond to patient and caregiver's wishes. Family and primary care physicians can play an instrumental role in such scenarios by bridging the gaps between cancer specialists and patient and caregivers expectations.

Alyssa Dyal was 23, a film student in Boston, fooling around with a guy she'd met on a dating app, when everything changed. Within months she was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer.
ConclusionsThe results confirm both the traditional use of O. campechianum and the importance of the leaf infusion as a potential source of antihyperglycemic agents. The isolation of 5-demethyl nobiletin (1) and 5-demethyl sinensetin (2) from O. campechianum and other Ocimum spp. suggests that polymethoxyflavones can be considered chemotaxonomical markers for the genus.Graphical abstract
ConclusionIn conclusion, this study showed that Aloe vera extract and its active component aloin activated the Wnt/β-catenin pathway and inhibited the Notch pathway in the presence of Wnt3a. While another active component, aloesin, activated the Wnt/β-catenin pathway and inhibited the Notch signaling pathway independent of Wnt3a. Given that Wnt/β-catenin and Notch pathway are closely associated with the progression of CRC, these findings would be helpful to better understand the colonic carcinogenicity of Aloe vera.Graphical abstract

The César Chávez Peace and Justice Committee of Denver (CCPJC) began a tradition honoring the late leader in 2002. The memory of César Chávez continues in Colorado on Saturday, March 31st.
The Chávez Marcha will begin at 9:30am at the Regis parking lot (near St. John Chapel), located at 3333 Regis Blvd. in Denver. No mass will be held this year. The traditional march will proceed to the César E. Chávez Park located at 4131 North Tennyson St., honoring the spirit of César Chávez and recognizing his peaceful and nonviolent ideals.
The celebration will feature poetry, art, music and food and will add to the spiritual gathering to remember one of the world’s greatest leaders of peace.
The Committee invites the participation of all individuals, community organizations, religious and educational institutes, and businesses to walk the march, present a booth, or join the CCPJC volunteer team.
In the late 60’s and early 70’s, Chávez led a nation of support for the country’s farmworkers who continually faced abuse, low pay and sometimes no pay, and inhumane working conditions. He created awareness for the people who had no voice, and was instrumental in creating the United Farmworkers Union, demanding rights for the people of the fields.
In 2001, former State Representatives Frana Mace and Rob Hernández sponsored a bill to create a state holiday, and former Denver City Councilwoman Ramona Martínez initiated a City holiday in Denver recognizing Chávez and his accomplishments in the fields.
Over the past few years, the committee has worked with the City and County of Denver Parks and Recreation to rebuild the César E. Chávez Park in northwest Denver, which included the unveiling of a bust featuring the parks namesake.
The park was rebuilt to increase access and include cultural icons important to the struggle for equal rights of all people.

and second within five days -- the Los Angeles Galaxy and Colorado Rapids played to a scoreless draw in a midweek meeting at Invesco Field at Mile High in Denver.
The Galaxy extended their unbeaten streak to four games though their winning run ended at three. Still, Los Angeles came away with a win and a draw in the series between the two clubs, a series Rapids coach Tim Hankinson could go far in defining the Western Conference race over the second half of the MLS season.
Both goalkeepers, Joe Cannon for the Rapids and Kevin Hartman for Los Angeles, made vital saves in keeping the other side off the board.
Ruiz put his 23rd minute attempt on net after being set up from his fellow front-runner Jovan Kirovski. A perfectly-placed diagonal ball through the Rapids back line put Ruiz in alone against Rapids goalkeeper Joe Cannon and he smartly attempted to lift the ball over the sliding Cannon, but the 'keeper got his hands up to keep the game tied.
One minute later the home side thought they should have had a penalty kick after John Spencer went down in the box under a challenge from Herzog. The referee saw no foul, though, and play continued.
Ned Grabavoy - who scored his first professional goal Saturday in the Galaxy's 2-0 win against Colorado - made a blistering run up the right flank before dumping the ball off in the box to Ruiz, but the Guatemalan international didn't get much power on the shot and Cannon had time to dive to his right and make the save.
After the break, it was the turn of Galaxy 'keeper Hartman to lift his team. Ten minutes after the intermission speedy winger Chris Henderson got forward for the Rapids and controlled a long ball over the top, but Hartman was quick off his line to smother the chance.
Henderson was gifted a second chance to beat Cannon in the 69th minute after a mistake in the back by the Galaxy. Defender Ryan Suarez misplayed a back pass to create the opportunity, but his 'keeper bailed him out with another fine save.
Rapids midfielder Mark Chung nearly provided the winner at the 74-minute mark. Henderson created space for himself on the left flank with a series of cutbacks before crossing the ball into the heart of the box. Chung flew through the air to connect on a diving header, but it was parried away by Hartman in a remarkable stop.
The hosts had one final chance to grab three points deep in injury time and they came within inches of doing it. Defender Pablo Mastroeni floated in a cross and Nat Borchers challenged to get on the end of it, while Hartman came off his line. Hartman tried to punch the ball away but didn't make contact and the ball caromed off the left post, but was scrambled away to safety.
Los Angeles continues their four-game road swing on Saturday when they face D.C. United at RFK Stadium (7:30 p.m. ET, FSW/FSE). Colorado heads back to California where they will take on the reigning MLS Cup champion San Jose Earthquakes at Spartan Stadium at 4 p.m. ET (ESPN2).

A quick word about stop loss orders. One of the very basic tools that can help you in your investment strategy is aÂ stop-loss orders.Â These areÂ sales orders conditionedÂ to a particular event, generally a fall in the share price.Â So, for example, we buy a certain stock,Â but at the same time we give orders that if the share price falls more than 5%, the stock will automatically be sold.
The usefulness of these orders is clear a priori.Â They serve to hedge our bets and protect our downside. TheyÂ help us to limit losses.Â This is a method recommended by most analysts…but not all.
One rationale is thatÂ stop-loss orders can avoid a higher gain.Â Sometimes the markets take a little breath before continuing the bullish path.Â And in that respite, aÂ stop-loss order was triggered. Stock movements are not always predictable and they do not always increase steadily. There may be moments of flat or declining growth. This could last a few hours, days, weeks, or even months. However, a stop loss order doesn’t take this into account.
It all comes down to your risk profile.Â Stop-loss helps those with a safer profile avoid large losses.Â Taking greater risks, however, could potentially result in larger gains.

Transcript from podcast “What you need to know about fasting”
Today we are going to be talking about the specifics of fasting. My husband and I just got done with the three day fast. I did one alone a couple of months ago and did a full five day fast, and I really wanted to give you some idea about what that looked like, what symptoms fast he can help with the physiology of why you might want to try fasting, how to do it if you should do a program or juice fast, how to understand what to do when there are so many different options out there, and then what we learned while we were fasting about our food, about ourselves, about our health, and then the results that we got was, were pretty awesome.
So what can fasting help with?
The number one thing I think of is Type two Diabetes or insulin resistance. This can help manage blood sugar level, help resensitize yourselves to glucose and sugar.
Now if you have type one diabetes, we don’t want you to fast. That’s absolutely something you should not do. But if you’re just insulin resistance and just dealing with some sugar issues like that, or if you’re a mild level of type two, this might actually really help. This is because insulin upregulates fat in fat cells and the liver, which leads to fatty liver and really yourselves all over your body start to stop responding when they become too inundated.
That’s where that resistance comes from. With insulin resistance, it means that your cells have been hit on the head so many times with insulin and sugar, that they’re just not responding anymore and they’re not going to do the work that they need to do.
What happens is that over time that the glucose gets stored as fat in the liver instead of an accessible sugar storage use. And then it also gets stored obviously in fat and muscles as fat. Instead of glycogen or proteins or anything that we give yourself some source of fuel. The other thing is linked to high cholesterol because of increased insulin it was also linked to an increase in blood pressure because of the higher levels in the insulin, which keeps sodium and water in your bloodstream. That increases the blood volume and increases your blood pressure.
Fatty liver is the next thing that I would recommend fasting for because it’s either happening on its own or it’s happening alongside blood sugar issues. And again, because that liver becomes so resistant, insulin that it cannot keep up with regulating sugar in keeping it stored within the liver where most of our sugar is actually stored for use. Then what happens is that glucose and sugar are just floating around in your bloodstream and you’re told, well, now we need to take Metformin to keep it pushed down. And if that doesn’t start working, we need to get you on insulin because the cells just aren’t responding again.
The next category is reactive hypoglycemia. Which is the opposite of insulin resistance, where your blood sugar is really going up and down on a roller coaster.
That one is me. I’m the kind of person who has to eat every two hours, always have a snack with them. People like me wake up, they’re not hungry at all. Usually grab a cup of coffee. Most people like to go through the drive through, get coffee and a muffin, and that’s their breakfast, like really heavy on the carbs and sugar. And then you get really hungry or irritable between meals. You crash around four o’clock in the afternoon, you have trouble sleeping through the night.
When I heard, you know, okay, if you have reactive hypoglycemia, you should fast. I was like, no, never do that. Never do that. And part of that reason is because when we’re in school and when we were taking boards, we learned about insulin dependent cells and receptors and how we transport sugar into the cells. So we need insulin, we need to eat sugar, we need to blah, blah, blah, do all these things the right way because of insulin dependent cells.
But what happened is what we learned that in functional medicine, when we’re actually looking at the physiology, that we have insulin independent receptors on most of our body. So we’re talking about the brain, the heart, the pancreas, fat cells, muscle cells, liver, all of these organs that require sugar, glucose, protein to work actually have many different modes of transportation into and out of the cell.
So you don’t have to have an insulin issue to be able to do fasting or to have blood sugar issues. We can still fast and shift that paradigm of how we look at sugar going into the cells. Fasting gives all of yourselves a break from that onslaught of sugar, it really sensitizes all of your cells all over your body, helps the cell receptors become more sensitive so the insulin can work when it needs to.
And the other big one that I like to have fasting as an option is for people who struggle with brain health symptoms like memory issues, brain fog, headaches, all of those issues that happen with the brain because the brain needs good glucose, good sugar. It also needs good fats and good proteins. So when we change up the amount of sugar that the brain gets and feed it more fat, that will reduce the amount of oxidation from the brain, which would obviously going to help reduce inflammation.
Of course you always have to talk to your physician before you start any type of fasting program because you have to make sure one that it’s right for you. You have to monitor your medications, your supplements, your blood sugar, your blood pressure, all of those things. So don’t just start a fast because honestly you listen to this podcast.
Next, we have to figure out what’s going to work best for you, for your body, what is safe and what is effective.
What happens when you do fast? You really lower the release of insulin and give the cells on your liver, pancreas, brain, and muscles a break, which allows them to desensitize and resensitize to the constant insulin and sugar. Cells can reduce and can create and remove receptors on their cells. So the more insulin you have, the more insulin receptors yourselves will create to manage that load. When you take the constant sugar away, it will help remove some of those receptors so the cells become more attuned to what they actually need to be doing.
Fasting decreases mitochondrial stress in the neurons of the brain because ketones produce less free radicals, which means good fats will help reduce inflammation in the brain.
Now we’re talking about memory. We’re talking about Alzheimer’s types issues. We’re talking about brain fog. And this even goes into hormones because the healthier fats that are in your body that you’re taking in, you’re going to make healthier hormones as well.
Fasting reduces fat levels and sugar storage in the liver. And anytime you can take a load off the liver, you’re going to really improve your health, your hormones, your biotransformation, all of its really good.
One of the reasons my husband was doing fasting was because it allows the bacteria in your gut to either die off or heat balance, which helps with bloating, IBS type symptoms and allows your gut to reset as well.
How to fast is something that we’re going to go into next. I’m going to have my husband come in and share a little bit about what he did and what I did, why we chose to do them differently because that’s always an option and give you guys some ideas. So let me go grab him for you.
Okay, so now we have my husband Jake with me here. He is going to help us talk about his fasting experience so you can get an idea of what we did differently and how it worked differently for each of us.
When I fast or when I go without food for too long, usually my stomach starts cramping like around three o’clock. I get really cranky and I just can’t handle the pain anymore. That’s usually when I stop eating. So I had to find a program that allowed me to eat and I used ProLon, which is a five day fast and they give you a box of food for each day and your supplements and your drinks so that know what you’re doing. And that helped me because I was able to keep my digestive system happy, but my cells thought they were fasting.
I’m going to put a link to that program in the comments. And if that’s something you’re interested in or you’re scared of fasting and going without food, that program can really help you. Jake hasn’t fasted before officially, but you do okay without food, right?
I’m reactive hypoglycemia, which means if I go without food, I get real shaky and irritable and hangry. That means I usually have to eat every two hours where Jake is more insulin resistant. So he is fine without food or whatever food happens with you. Right? You’re pretty much, okay. So why did you decide to do the three day juice fast?
Jake: Because I been feeling, I guess bloated and overwhelmed with everything we’ve been doing, eating and not staying on track with our, uh, diet for my SIBO and everything like that. So I just kinda wanted to give my body a break and refresh. So I decided I would do three days, no food and just liquid vegetables and fruit. So I would be getting stuff that I need, but I give everything in my body a chance to catch up.
Alison: So Jake has SIBO, which is small intestinal bacteria overgrowth. You can go back and watch the video we did together about his SIBO story.
But over the past year, some things were working, some things weren’t. And I thought the fast would be a great way for his intestines to help with the die off of the extra bacteria in the small intestines that weren’t supposed to be there. And that really did help.
So I think it’s also great when you fall off and you realize that you’ve been eating too many donuts every weekend that we just got that it does help reset and it gives you some really good tools.
I’ll say what I learned while fasting. When I did this in September a couple of months ago and then I just did it again. I realized that I just mindlessly go for food.
Like I’ll just grab a fruit snack or food without even thinking cause either I’m bored or I’m super stressed and that’s where a lot of my weight issues are coming from as well as my food sensitivities cause I’m just eating mindlessly throughout the day, especially cause we’re home. I can just go into the pantry.
I really learned how to be present when I was eating. Even the small amount of food like soup, like I learned to sit down and enjoy it and focus on it because that was my like one little meal of the day. I really wanted to give my brain the experience of eating food and being present.
The first time I did the fast, it wasn’t as hard as I anticipated. I had to make my daughter’s birthday cake and all of her frosting and I couldn’t eat it. And that was really typical because I’ve never made a cake and not eaten it, but I made it through.
There’s always going to be a party, an event, something that you’re going to have to miss or skip out on or show up and be like, Hey, I’m here and I’m not going to drink or eat. And I’m cool with that. And everybody else can be okay with that too. So there’s never a good time to fast. There’s never a good time to put this in your schedule. Your health is way more important than a piece of cake because there’s always going to be cake and there’s always going to be leftovers and you can just have it later.
You don’t have to have it right now. And that was hard because I wanted to eat the birthday cake and all of the frosting, but I did. And what did you learn?
Jake: I learned that fasting is, I guess I could say it’s easy if, if you’re not like her, like where you have to eat every two hours. I’m used to intermittent fasting, so I feel like I just had to push past the last part of the day that I normally would eat. I found that the third day sucks the most, but when I woke up on the fourth day, I felt like I could keep going. So, if you’re going to go with the route that I went, just bear in mind at day three blows. So can I say that?
Alison: Oh, yeah, absolutely. I think I asked you a couple of times like, you’re going to learn about your food and how you feel about your body. And he’s like, no, this sucks. I want to eat, I don’t care, but your method of getting through was complaining, which is okay.
Jake: I complain about things as I’m going through them and then that just gets me through them. So, um, you know, mission successful. I got, I did it. And I felt really good on the fourth day and like I said, I felt like I could probably do it for another three days if I wanted to, honestly. But that the third day was difficult.
Alison: Do you think you’re going to try four days at one point or five days?
Jake: Try five days just to see if I can make it that long. And um, now it’s kind of like a, a challenge almost.
Alison: We are going to start doing juice fasting on Mondays, like one day a week because it was really helpful. What did you use when you juiced? What vegetables?
Jake: I drank three juices. The first juice was, I have to, sorry, I had to remember, carrots, celery, beets, a cucumber, spinach, a granny Smith, Apple and the whole lemon. And then the next one, this same minus the beets and threw in an orange instead of the beats. And then for my last juice, it was the same recipe, but minus the orange or the beets. I put strawberries. The middle one was probably the best tasting. They didn’t, none of them tastes like amazing. It’s not, it’s not very fun. A drink to drink. I usually just chug it. It makes about 20 ounces of juice. So just chug it down.
Alison: So what happened for you when it was over after that three days? So on day four, what did you notice about your body?
Jake: Well, I definitely, the, my main objective for this was to get rid of the bloating from the SIBO and it was gone. It was effectively gone. I knew that I could eat, I knew I was going to allow myself to eat and I was staring at my food and felt calm and you know, understood that I didn’t have to eat it. And I felt confident that I could keep going if I wanted to. It helped me slow down while I was eating, like in, I guess enjoy the food that I was eating, like value it a little bit more.
Alison: Instead of just eating as much as you can, as fast as you can…. did you lose weight?
Jake: Yes, I did. I lost over nine pounds
Alison: Crazy. So when I did the five day fast, I lost about six pounds. But what I liked about the ProLon and what it did for me, and I don’t know if it was a time or if it was the kit, but it reset my metabolic weight.
I lost six pounds, but I stayed at that weight for quite a few months, which has never happened to me for before where I’ve done a lot of different diets and programs, got down to my weight and then three weeks later I was back up to my standard weight.
I’m really happy that it was able to reset my metabolic, my natural weight state, and my body just stayed there naturally. And I would say the same thing it taught me because of the program to eat breakfast again, eat lunch, eat dinner, not skip meals because you just train yourself to eat food consistently. That’s really important for reactive hypoglycemia.
And I really did feel like my cravings went down a little bit and I’m not as dependent on coffee because you can only have one glass of coffee with that program. I wasn’t drinking a whole pot every single day, which was awesome. I think it was really successful for the both of us.
Jake: If you have an illness like I do and you are able to stick with the fasting, it helps you stay more on track with your diet when you actually start eating again because you don’t want to ruin all the time and work you put into fasting.
Cause I mean, it’s tough. I said it was easy, but it’s like, it’s a mindset. It’s easy if you got the right mind for it, but it’s still, you still have to go through this suck of three whole days of not eating. It’s going to not feel good, but there is a level like it. Yeah, it has have helped me to make sure I stay on track, not to ruin my progress.
Alison: That, and you see the big difference that it made for your gut and your SIBO that going back to where you were and feeling as sick as you were, wasn’t worth it. Fasting helped us both that a lot. Thanks for sharing your story. I appreciate it. We will see you guys next week and our next week’s podcast.

invented by Anthony Bourne
( Winner )
The Load Choker enables you to choke straps or chains in a legally acceptable manner.
About the Inventor
Anthony Bourne is a truck driver from the outer Melbourne suburb of Hurstbridge who runs a small transport operation. He is also a farrier and self-taught fabricator. Anthony's son Jordie has already been on New Inventors as a Bright Spark with his skateboard invention the SK8 brake on 14 May 2008.
For more information about Load Choker, contact the following:
Read what others have said or have your say.
Anthony has spent many years trying to safely restrain complicated loads using straps and chains and found it impossible to choke multiple items on a trailer.
While skiing at Mt. Buller he explained his idea to his friend John. They were both so excited about it they got off the chair lift and immediately began drawing designs in the snow.
The Load Choker enables you to choke straps or chains in a legally acceptable manner. The term "choke" refers to a method of looping a chain or strap around itself which is very common practice in transport. The load choker is easy and quick to use, and the fact that it enables you to create 100% tension over the load, means that your load has very little chance of slipping and is therefore safer. It increases productivity and reduces O & HS risks.
It's easy to use the Load Choker to restrain difficult loads
Just hook the ends of the strap or chain together with the choker and tighten with a ratchet.
The 2:1 leverage pulls the load together, restricting movement in all directions.
The Load Choker restrains loads that are near impossible to secure, and products of differing shapes and sizes can be quickly and effectively restrained with fewer straps or chains.
The top layers can be securely belly wrapped to stop the centres of load shifting forward under braking. There is no need to pyramid stack, therefore maximising payloads.
Loads on trade racks and machinery can also be secured faster and safer than conventional methods. Different size and different shaped products are easily and safely secured with fewer straps or chains saving time and eliminating safety concerns

Kook by Chris Vick
Illustrated by: n/a
Published: 2016, Harper Collins
Length: 389 pages
Narrated By: N/A
Genre: Fiction, Contemporary Fiction, Romance, YA Romance, Realistic Fiction, British Fiction, Young Adult Fiction, YA
Where Did I Get It? I got a copy as part of my ticket for YALC 2016
Blurb: Kook: (surfer slang): a learner, a wannabe.
Fifteen-year old Sam has moved from the big city to the coast of England—stuck there with his mom and sister on the edge of nowhere.
Then he meets beautiful but damaged surfer-girl Jade. Soon he’s in love with her, and with surfing itself. But Jade is driven by an obsession: finding a legendary huge wave no one has ever ridden.
As the weeks wear on, their relationship barrels forward with the force of a deep-water wave—into a storm, danger…and heartbreak.
Jade got me in trouble from day one.
My Review: Wow, Kook was not the book I expected from when I picked it up, but it was truly incredible.
I will confess to expecting a bit of a fluffy summer–surfer-romance set in sunny Cornwall and it is very much not that at all, but it was brilliant.
There is Cornwall and there’s definitely surfers, there’s even some summer, but it was nothing like I was expecting.
Kook is gritty and hard-hitting, touching on subjects such as drug and alcohol abuse, domestic violence, and family loss but the edges are softened by a blossoming romance between Sam and Jade – which is as bumpy as any teenage romance in reality – and also by Sam’s new-found love of the ocean.
If nothing else Kook is a love-letter to the ocean. From the gentle blue sea of summer, to the roaring, grey beast of autumn and winter – the water is a character in itself and the book sings with love for it. Love, fear and respect.
I know nothing about surfing and neither does Sam at the start of the book – I loved discovering it through his eyes. I felt the rush as he stood on the board for the first time (for a split second) and was almost as eager for him to get back in the water again and again as he was.
His troubled relationship with Jade was beautifully crafted and the highs and lows were biting and brilliant – it felt like a genuine, confusing, all-consuming teenage relationship that left you exhilarated and exhausted.
Jade has been forever changed by her parents’ behaviour and seeks solace from them in her friends, drugs, drink and, most of all, the ocean. She dreams of hitting it big in the free-surfing world, of discovering the fabled Devil’s Horns island and riding a monster wave that puts her on the surfing map. She dreams of escaping any way she can that involves a surfboard and the ocean.
Her dreams, ultimately, break Sam’s heart.
Kook will batter you and leave your heart broken on the rocks of the Cornish coast whilst you bleed out nothing but love for the ocean itself. A shatteringly beautiful read.

Casino Games: Online Slots
There is one particular casino game that I have always loved to play – blackjack. At the very least, I’ve always loved playing it. It is the one casino game that I know almost by heart. So, when I was offered the chance to try out a new online casino game I was all excited! But there were a few things that I had a need to consider first before jumping in.
For starters I did have to find an online casino game with blackjack that offered a big jackpot. I found several places that offered a nice chunk for a couple dollars. But the most the available games only offered around five dollars. We were holding not games that I was interested in playing for a long period.
After visiting several these places I decided that it was time to try something a little different. So, off I went to my favourite internet search engine and began searching. Eventually I came across the game called Slots. Slots is truly a video slot machine that you could play from your computer. This is a good plan because it makes it easy to apply any skills you have with any casino game before you actually play it on the live casino floor. It is possible to practice for hours and gain some real skills with this particular game.
Once I installed Slots on my computer, I was instantly impressed with the graphics and the sounds that this game had. Everything looks so real and you will really feel the vibrations of the machines as you play. The sound files are so real life that you almost feel as if you are in charge of everything that is going on on the screen.
This game also enables you to play both as a player and a machine. Which means that you can choose to play against the dealer or simply try to win the amount of money that is displayed on the screen. In any event it really is incredibly exciting to play this casino game online. The truth that there are different levels gives the players a great possiblity to become more skilled at the game as they advance.
There exists a limit to how much you can win on each machine though. You will have to set this number before you start playing so that you could only bet as much as you have to. A lot of people tend to play this game with what they have in their pockets, which isn’t necessarily a very important thing. Should you have $2021 in your pocket, you are probably better off playing the traditional slots game where you can walk away with more money than you put into the pot. This is exactly why slot machine games tend to pay off much better than regular casino games.
Another great part of playing Slots online may be the bonus rewards. These bonuses can either be earned by playing for a certain time frame online or by cashing in on a bonus coupon that can be found on any page associated with Slots. You can find often large jackpots waiting to be won when you play this casino game. There is really no limit to the sum of money that can be won through the use of these bonuses.
One last good thing about playing Slots online is that it’s free to play. Even though you SM카지노 do have to go to a casino game and use real cash you don’t need to pay an additional fee to take action. It is just as fun and rewarding to play this casino game for free as it is to pay money to do so. With that said, there is no reason that you should not give it a go today.

AASHTO Journal, 3 February 2012
According to Wyden’s office, the plan would transfer $900 million annually collected from customs users fees into a TRIP Bond Trust Account. Those funds would be invested for the life of the bonds to generate interest that would repay the $50 billion in bond principal. The interest on the bonds would be covered by tax credits.
Whitfield said during a news conference Tuesday in the U.S. Capitol that TRIP bonds are an innovative idea and exactly what is needed to help states shore up aging transportation systems. That sentiment was echoed by Wyden, who called the bonds “a shot in the arm for the transportation sector and jobs.”
Hoeven, who said the legislation’s strength is the way it leverages private-sector investment, cited the importance of allowing states to have control over how to spend the dollars and prioritizing the projects they need to do.
Jack Basso, director of program finance and management for the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, appeared at Tuesday’s news conference.
“America has an infrastructure deficit that in many ways is starting to rival the national debt that we face,” said Basso, who worked with legislators to draft the bill’s language. “We should not lose sight of our fundamental need for our overall investment. These bonds are a down payment.”

The 2014 TSX Sport Wagon is the perfect example of Acura giving shoppers a competitive, unique and well-built luxury station wagon for just above $30,000. And what does the market say in response to the only low-roof hauler in a time when Shooting Brake and coupe bodies have never been hotter?
The market yawns, then saunters over to the RDX sitting nearby in the (usually totally empty of humans) Acura showroom floor. A slightly taller ride height and a V-6 engine are available for a few thousand over this classy and nimble TSX Sport Wagon.
For that cash, the RDX brings much, much newer infotainment controls and available AWD that the TSX lacks.
But the RDX is wearing (even worse) looks these days that are like a melted and shrunken MDX. Or maybe a mushed up Starburst candy.
After being outsold by the brand’s crossovers by more than twenty to one, the TSX wagon is 100-percent carryover for 2014. Some new pics that are not renderings or a photochop are welcome from Acura , but the TSX is in a holding pattern while Acura tries to define its future strategy.
The TSX Sport Wagon is not alone in offering frugal family transit with great quality and handling. The BMW X1 is a sporty and quick rear- or all-wheel-drive crossover new in America for 2013, while the Mazda CX-5 is even a bit more eager in corners than the Acura .
But for the shopper who really wants to make a wagon envy statement?
Please follow the jump for all the details on the 2014 Acura TSX Sport Wagon.
The Sport Wagon is the best-looking TSX out there. Rich paints look terrific and the lines in profile and the rear are quite refined and luxurious.
Taut creases are a welcome merit versus the fugly TL, and even the door handles have a very special nickel brightwork. These door handles are unique to the TSX and the Euro Accord, many people will be delighted to know.
In front, things are a total disaster zone. Like a car styled well at first, but then ruined with the beak-like nose, some retro headlights and a width that seems like a bumper car. Too narrow and tall to really ace the fast wagon styling test.

Buyers may also find it is a bit tight on elbow room and cargo space, to say nothing of the miniature back seat.

The TSX wagon is slower than the sedan, thanks to a slightly higher curb weight than the base TSX automatic. The dimensions also grow about four inches in length, thanks to a longer rear overhang.
The overall driving enthusiasm of the TSX shines through in the TSX wagon. The wagon even has more neutral handling than the sedan with thanks to a weight distribution closer to 50:50 versus the sedans. The wagon comes in at 57:43 front-to-rear ratio front to rear versus the TSX V-6 sedan’s 62:38. The shift toward the rear helps the TSX wagon hold corners tighter than expected and makes the car much less prone to under-steer.
The only drivetrain for the wagon is a front-engine, front-drive 2.4-liter four making 201 horsepower for an estimated 8.2 second 0-to-60 sprint.
2014 Acura TSX Sport Wagon - Mechanical Specs
|Trim Level||TSX Sport Wagon – Automatic|
|Engine Size and Type||2.4-liter 16-valve I-4 i-VTEC VTC, chain-driven DOHC|
|Peak power||201 horsepower|
|Peak torque||170 pound-feet|
|Top Speed||138 mph, limited|
|EPA Mileage City/Highway/Combined||22/30/25|
The 2014 TSX Sport Wagon is priced from $31,985.
The cute and perky CX-5 is a huge hit with shoppers. It blends some big-crossover road stance with a sharp new styling suit outside. As ever, the Mazda is an eager little beaver that is more than happy on mountain roads.
The BMW X1’s base pricing is in the TSX neighborhood, but the only one that really stands out is the M Sport trim with color-matched bumpers versus faux off-road items on the entry trims. Even so, the X1 is fast and really fun to drive in standard rear- or available AWD.
Acura is in a really bad place. The new MDX and RLX are barely light facelifts, maintaining or worsening the serious problems the cars must face in a hyper-competitive luxury market.
In the market, Acura’s brand cache is barely on the radar either. It is perhaps above Hyundai if you say so, but not really.
Such little product or footprint for the luxury brand means the future is not yet a sure thing. We bet most Acura dealers would change the sign out front to a big H in a heartbeat if given the chance.
- Still unique as a compact luxury wagon
- Decent fuel economy
- Quite compact
- Not nearly as luxurious as its competition
- Looks rather old
- Slow as slow can possibly be in this day and age

Nothing new there.
Stay turned. More on that later!

The proposed transaction is expected to close before Barracuda’s fiscal year end of Feb. 28, 2018, and is subject to approval by Barracuda’s shareholders and regulatory authorities, and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.
