The Daily Dish: March 30, 2016
Dishing out the latest and greatest in food news
Today’s first course?
Sonic Drive-In, the fast food chain that’s notorious for its drink and slush menu, has introduced ‘Soda Pop Shoppe,’ a new line of sweet cream sodas available for a limited time only. In a release, leaders describe the drink as “a throwback taste of classic flavors the old-fashioned way with a new-fashioned pop.” Old Fashioned Sweet Cream Sodas mix carbonated water, flavored syrups, and sweet cream, while Classic Sweet Cream Sodas are made with flavored syrups, sweet cream, and iconic sodas including Dr. Pepper and Coca-Cola. To see what flavors they’ll feature, check out this story in our Drink section.
McDonald’s is trying to hit home with its new image and menu transformation. The fast food giant has filed to register a trademark on the slogan, “The simpler, the better.” The new marketing phrase has not been announced officially, but, according to Fortune, if the company ends up using this new slogan, it would fall in line with its new attempt to streamline and clean up a menu to revamp its image and speed up service. But the possibly-new slogan is definitely making people scratch their heads. After all, “the simpler, the better” sounds like a phrase you’d hear in a Whole Foods advertisement, rather than the chain that gave us all-day breakfast and 660-calorie Shamrock Shakes.
After a wave of black burger buns made with squid ink became popular in Asia, Burger King is introducing a colorful burger bun to its American customers, and this one’s red and angry. The limited-edition menu item will be available at participating Burger King restaurants with prices ranging from $5.49 to $7.49. The announcement comes months after the A1 steak sauce-infused black bun burger was released as a limited-edition menu item for Halloween.
That’s today’s Daily Dish, thanks for watching. Stop by tomorrow for another helping.


... I can't seem to stop singing.
1- Laura Pausini. "Se Fue" (He's Gone)
Why is it bad? Well, the lyrics go "he's gone, only his poison is left" and "I'd even go to jail with him." It's fucking perfect.
2- Celine Dion. "It's All Coming Back To Me Now"
I think this is pretty self-explanatory. It's also perfect for the shower.
3- The Larry Bagby Band. "Counting My Lucky Stars"
This song is so AWFUL and cringe-inducing that it only appears in a youtube montage. Yeah.
4- Britney Spears. "Don't Let Me Be The Last To Know"
Man... fucking Britney. And yeah, when I said I can't stop singing these songs I really meant it. I'm the bitch in the red hat.

ANN: "The Box Office Mojo website reports that Hiromasa Yonebayashi and Studio Ghibli's anime film The Secret World of Arrietty (Karigurashi no Arrietty) has earned an estimated US$233,000 during the March 16-18 weekend, its fifth weekend in American theaters. Arrietty's theater count dropped by 197 as 304 theaters continued to screen the film, and the film had a per-screen average of US$766. Ticket sales fell 44.2% from the fourth weekend.
With a current total of US$18,011,000, Arrietty remains the fourth highest grossing theatrical anime release in the United States (although not when adjusted for inflation). It is about US$1.8 million below #3's Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Movie (US$19,765,868)."

Did you Know?
An average family in the west throws away around 20-40 kgs of food packaging waste every month.
It takes 5,000 litres of water to make 1kg of cheese, 20,000 litres to grow 1kg of coffee, and 100,000 litres to produce 1kg of hamburger beef.
The food industry annually spends over £10.5 billion on chemicals to add to food and alter it.
A third of all fruit and vegetables we eat contain pesticide residues
Avocados contain a special kind of sugar that helps prevent low blood sugar, so may be the ideal diet food.
Source: John Farndon
Why Eat Organic?
For Health - On average, organic fruit and vegetables contain higher levels of vitamin C, essential minerals and cancer-fighting antioxidants.
No Nasty Additives - Amongst the many additives banned by the Soil Association are hydrogenated fat, aspartame (artificial sweetener) and monosodium glutamate (MSG).
Avoids Pesticides - Over 400 chemical pesticides are rountinely used in conventional farming. Pesticides are often present in non-organic food.
Care for Animals - No system of farming has higher levels of animal welfare standards than organic farms working to Soil Association standards.
Good for Wildlife and the Environment - Organic farming is better for wildlife, causes lower pollution from sprays and produces less carbon dioxide - the main global warming gas.
"Food is steeped in oil. About 400 gallons of diesel are needed to produce the average American's food annually, and a similar figure holds here. Most of our food is produced using nitrogen fertiliser, the 'wonder chemical' enabling non-organic farmers to maximise the productivity of their fields. But such chemical fertility doesn't come free. Each one tonne of fertiliser takes one tonne of oil and 108 tonnes of water to make, giving off seven tonnes of carbon dioxide in the process. If farming is to become climate-friendly, it must rely less on fossil fuels. That means fewer chemical fertilisers, more use of rotations and natural fertility-buliding crops like clover"
Organic or not Organic:
- It is important to remember that all fruits, should be sub ripened and grown organically. The same rule should be applied for vegetables, grains and the way farm animals are raised.
- The sooner the produce is utilized after harvest, the more alive and nutritious it is. Therefore, sprouts and grasses, which can be grown all year round in any climate and homes, are so beneficial.
- Good food is dependent upon healthy soil. Just as certain bacteria in our intestines are necessary for the proper digestion and assimilation of food, so plants need certain bacteria to enable them to flourish.
- Soil that is extensively treated with chemicals becomes so depleted of enzymes and nutrients, that the resulting produce lacks vitamins and minerals, which is then often compensated for by more chemical injection. Unfortunately, the conventional method of growing produce today is dependent upon chemicals: to fertilize the soil, to control pests and diseases, to enhance growth and appearance and to prolong the shelf-life of produce.
- Unfortunately, every chemical that has been used on plants or animals will be there when we eat it, and they can’t be washed away with water. Plants and animals, like us, absorb everything that has been given to or used on them during their lifetime. More disturbing is the fact that our body must cope with the toxic residues that becomes part of our food.
- These types of toxins are not easily eliminated by our gastrointestinal systems. They build up over time and attack our immune system, leaving us susceptible to allergies, diseases and degeneration. Today, more and more people need to take vitamin and mineral supplements in order to replace what is not present in the food we eat, so called ‘empty food’.
The Alphabet of Food Additives:
- Acidity regulators, used to alter and control the acidity or alkalinity levels for different desired effects, which can include preservation, added/altered tartness, colour retention and to assist raising agents.
- Acids, used to control to what degree other substances function and/or to impart a sharp taste. Assists in the release of carbon dioxide in raising agents and can have a preservative effect.
- Anti-caking agents, used to ensure the free flow in products such as dried milks, icing sugar and table salt.
- Anti-foaming agents, used to reduce or prevent foaming (frothing) on boiling and to reduce scum forming.
- Antioxidants, used to protect food against deterioration caused by exposure to air (oxidation), such as fat rancidity, flavour deterioration or colour changes.
- Bleaching agents, used to artificially whiten flour.
- Buffers, see acidity regulators.
- Bulking agents, used to increase volume without significantly adding to the energy levels of the food. Normally used in diet foods but can also be used to pad out expensive ingredients. Not usually digested and acts as a source of dietary fiber (roughage).
- Carriers and carrier solvents, used to modify a food additive (by dissolving, diluting or dispersing etc.), without changing its function, to enable easier use or handling.
- Colours, used to restore or reinforce colour lost during processing or storage, to give colour to foods which otherwise would be virtually colourless (such as soft drinks) and to ensure uniformity from batch to batch.
- Emulsifiers, used to aid in the formation and maintenance of the dispersion of two or more substances, which would normally separate and not normally mix, such as oil and water. Milk, mayonnaise and salad dressings are typical oil in water emulsions, butter and margarine water in oil emulsions.
- Emulsifying salts, used to disperse protein so reducing the stringiness in cooked cheese.
- Firming agents, used to make or retain firmness or crispness in fruit and vegetables and to strengthen gels.
- Flavour enhancers, used to enhance or bring out the flavour and/or odours in foods without imparting a distinctive flavour of their own.
- Flavours, there are around 4,000 flavours and they are used for the same reasons for flavour as colourings are for colour, to restore, reinforce, add what is not there and to ensure batch uniformity. They are not presently subject to the 'E Number' system nor are they required to be separately shown on food labels. About labels and flavour, note that 'xx flavour' means just what it says, the product does not need to contain any xx, just taste as though it does. However, 'xx flavoured' on the label means that the product must contain xx. The 'ed' makes all the difference.
- Flour improvers, used to enhance the elastic properties and aid the development of dough. Also accelerates the effect of bleaching agents.
- Foaming agents, used to provide a uniform dispersion of gas in a food.
- Gelling agents, used to form a jelly to provide texture to a product.
- Glazing agents, used to produce a protective coating or to impart a polish/sheen on the surface of a food such as confectionery or citrus fruit.
- Humectants, used to retain moisture in foods by absorbing water from the air to prevent drying out.
- Modified starch, used for various functions including adding texture, adding bulk, stabilizing and as a thickener.
- Packaging gases, used to replace air in the packaging of foodstuffs susceptible to oxidation Not necessarily shown on food labels.
- Preservatives, used to extend the shelf life of products by preventing the growth of micro-organisms, which could otherwise cause food decay and, in some cases, food poisoning.
- Propellants, a gas or volatile liquid used to expel foodstuffs from aerosols.
- Raising agents, used to increase the volume of doughs and batters by promoting gas release (aeration).
- Releasing agents, used to prevent foodstuffs sticking to machinery, molds, packaging etc. but not necessarily shown on food labels even though some may remain in the food.
- Sequestrants, used to combine with trace metals in the environment to render them inactive.
- Stabilisers, used to maintain the physical state of a food and to stabilize, retain or intensify the existing colour of a food, particularly emulsions, and therefore often used with emulsifiers.
- Intense sweeteners: they have a sweetness many times that of sugar and are therefore used at very low levels. They are used in products such as diet foods, soft drinks and tabletop sweeteners.
- Bulk sweeteners: they have a similar sweetness to sugar and are used at comparable levels. Unlike intense sweeteners they also provide bulk (although their main function is to provide sweetness). They are used in products such as sugar-free confectionery and foods for diabetics.
- Thickeners, used to increase viscosity, modify texture and impart stability.

Mr Wilkins Visits CERN
Tuesday, 21 March, 2017 | Filed in: Science
On the 7th of February I was lucky enough to be chosen to take part in the annual Welsh Teachers Visit to CERN, the huge science experiment in Geneva, Switzerland. The program was aimed at providing 24 Physics teachers, like myself, with first hand experience of the cutting edge research being carried out at the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN). Over four days, we attended tailored lectures and workshops delivered by a variety of speakers, all leaders in their fields. I found it surprising how many of these eminent speakers were either Welsh or working at Welsh universities. One of the most fascinating talks was on the researching of anti-hydrogen, a project run by the University of Swansea, with their findings only recently published.The highlight of the trip was a visit to the CMS detector, one of the experiments set up on the Large Hadron Collider in an attempt to prove the existence of the Higgs Boson. We were fortunate that the visit coincided with the winter maintenance program meaning the collider was shut down. You’d think this was a bad thing but actually meant we were able to go down into the tunnels and see the equipment first hand. It was doubly fortunate that the CMS detector was under going maintenance, with the protective shield removed and the inside elements opened up. It’s hard to describe the scale of what we were able to see, but imagine an object the length and width of a swimming pool and the height of a four story building. All of this science equipment is taking 75 Megapixel images 40 million times per second!
It wasn’t all about the unravelling of fundamental physics, we also had some talks and looked at the technology that has been developed at CERN that has a huge impact on our lives. I posed outside the office where the Internet was born; spoke to the team responsible for the super cooled magnets where new developments are leading to smaller and cheaper MRI and PET scanners in UK hospitals. One of the most exciting developments in the treatment of cancers that will soon be available in the UK will be proton beam therapy. These will work using the magnets, electronics and super cool technology developed and improved at CERN to provide potentially life saving technology back here in Wales.You can find out more about my trip, including some of the terrible selfies taken by visiting the Science Departments Twitter feed, @YBEScience.

He just does not listen.
You know you’re not supposed to yell. And you’ve tried, hoo boy have you tried, to stay calm, ask nicely, and resist the urge. But sooner or later your fuse snaps and that mean voice… it just comes out. And then – hallelujah – he finds his shoes/brushes his teeth/puts the marker away. In other words: he listens. You feel awful, but what the heck else are you supposed to do?
I was lucky enough to attend an Oakville Parent-Child Centre parenting conference this past weekend (thanks DTJ for the invite!). I hadn’t heard of the keynote speaker because yes, I often live under a rock, but she. was. awesome. I know I use that word a lot, and I’m even more aware of how annoying it can be since ‘Everything is Awesome’ is in fierce competition with ‘Let it Go’ in our house, but it’s true guys, she really was. I thought I had this parenting thing down but she, well, nailed it. Jennifer Kolari, the founder of Connected Parenting and go-to Child and Family expert for Steven and Chris, Canada AM, and Breakfast Television, taught us how to stay CALM. I don’t know about you, but with three kids pulling me in twelve different directions every minute, let’s just say I could use a little more calm.
Here’s how it works. Say your darling child is freaking out because she doesn’t want a single bite of dinner. And you’re about to go all Mommy Dearest because it’s her mealplan choice and you just spent an hour making it with her “help”. Here’s what you do:
- Connect. Fuggedabout your agenda, put yourself in her shoes, and create a safe place.
- Affect matching. This means copy her body language to display the same emotions. Be genuine – not drama queen.
- Listen. Do this by paraphrasing, summarizing, clarifying, and wondering.
- MIRROR. Which you’re already doing avec all-of-the-above, but what kind of technique would it be if it was called CAL?
So instead of “I already told you to eat it,” try “You are not interested in food tonight,” while wearing her furrowed brow/pouty lip/crossed arms. After a few more sincere responses à la “You really thought you wanted this, but now you don’t,” and “You’re right. That broccoli is a lot greener than it was before we cooked it,” the magic starts to happen. In other words, she starts to chill. That’s when Jennifer suggests you take a step back, as in “I know you don’t feel like eating right now, but the problem is your tummy will be hungry when you’re trying to fall asleep. I’m just going to go to the bathroom while you think about it. Be right back.” And then you walk away, or at least turn your back, to giver a moment to reflect. If she starts eating before you return, which apparently is quite likely once you’ve got this CALM thing down, you give her a thumbs-up and a smile – NOT a happy dance. If she’s a little more stubborn, well, I hear ya. Jack can finish a bowl of ice cream in half a second yet has to chew one spoonful of rice for ten minutes. Your stubborn little picky eater needs a calm explanation (see what I did there?) of a natural consequence. In our house, one of our dinner rules is you have to try one bite of everything and have at least the same number of total bites as your age before you can bail with fruit, so for us that consequence would be “Okay, Jack, I see you’ve decided not to eat anything at all. I guess that means no fruit since you’re just not hungry.” And then the key: consistent follow-through. We’ve only ixnayed the uitfray once – he didn’t starve.
A few other takeaways from the talk:
- Timeouts shouldn’t have such a bad rap. In Ms CALM’s words “You hit, you sit.”
- Yelling is only ever scary or hilarious… probably not what you’re going for. As JK put it, ask yourself ”Am I about to say something that I feel like saying or something that my child needs to hear?”
- Baby play is important to connect with a kid no matter how old she is. I’ve been amping up my go-to baby tickle rhymes on Alex and Jack to test this theory. It’s correct.
- Extra sensitive kids need food every one and a half to two hours to avoid those sugar crashes. I’d go even farther to suggest that pretty much any kid could be fed every one and a half to two hours to avoid those sugar crashes. Just keep the snacks healthy and on the small side if you’re struggling with a picky eater.
- Giving your kid permission to have a tantrum, neigh, helping them set-up to have a full-on freakout, is the best way to cut it off. She used a fancy psychology term about paradoxical something or other, but the gist is that giving your approval takes all the fun out of it. Or something like that.
We ran out of time for all of the wisdom that Jennifer Kolari wanted to share, but luckily she’s smart enough to have written it down. Check out Connected Parenting for your younglings, You’re Ruining My Life for your teens, and ConnectedParenting.com for all of the above.
If you’ve fallen into a pattern where he only listens when you yell, the only one who can break that pattern is you. Instead of dismissing him with a “You’re okay,” try some active listening and see where it takes you. You listen to him… he listens to you… you listen to him… it’s kinda like you’re part of a team. Awesome.

How to Care for the Amaryllis
The amaryllis makes a great indoor plant. They are very resistant and can do well when placed indoors. They are particularly beautiful during winter because this is when they bloom. This way, they can provide lots of color for your home.
If you wish to make your Amaryllis thrive, you need to provide it with proper growing conditions. These plants are not difficult to care for, but there are certain requirements that you need to provide.
How to Care for the Amaryllis: Growing Conditions
One of the key things to make your Amaryllis thrive is to keep it actively growing after it has finished blooming. Once that the flowers have faded, cut them off – this will prevent the plant from developing seeds. You wish to discourage seeds because they take the energy from the plant.
You need to keep your Amaryllis in a place that is sunny and warm. Choose the sunniest spot in your home, such as near a window, and make sure that the plant is not under any drafts or cold air. This promotes leaf growth, which makes easier for plant to collect energy and perform photosynthesis.
Keep in mind that you need to know how to care for the Amaryllis after it’s replenishing, right after it has stopped blooming. This is when its bulb is depleted of minerals and only the stalk remains, so cutting the tops of the stalks down while leaving the leaves will be beneficial for the plants.
It is important to water your Amaryllis twice per week. Also, make sure to provide your plant with enough minerals. You should fertilize it once in 2 to 3 weeks. This will give your Amaryllis enough nutrients and it will keep it healthy throughout the year.
In case you wish to keep it outdoors during the warm periods, you need to acclimatize your plant to the outdoor conditions. Start by placing it outdoors in a shady area, and after a few days of doing this, place it into sunlight for a little while. You should expose it to more and more sunlight every day.
You should slowly move the container with the Amaryllis to a location in your garden. Eventually, you wish to place them in a spot where they can receive at least 6 hours of sun per day. A sunny location on your deck of patio is ideal for your Amaryllis.
At this point, you should continue to fertilize once per month. This should help the bulb get all the nutrients it needs so it can produce flowers the next year.
If you choose to take your Amaryllis outside, make sure to return it indoors in the fall. These plants cannot withstand cold temperatures. Ideally, you will keep your Amaryllis at a spot that it is at least 50 to 60 degrees F.
How to Care for the Amaryllis: Flowering
It is important to remember that Amaryllis is a plant that is easy to bring to bloom. You can do this both indoors and outdoors, and the good news is that you can make your plants flower for a long time. Amaryllis in blooming is unforgettable. They have massive, bright flowers in many different colors. The flowers are 8 to 10 inches big and they display a wide variety of colors, such as white, red, pink, orange, salmon and more. There are also bicolors. In addition to this, there are also doubles and miniatures you may choose for your home.
The flowers are started from bulbs. The bulbs are large, about the size of a grapefruit. It’s important to know that the larger the bulbs, the larger and more numerous the flowers. These bulbs are often sold in pre-planted started kits, so it’s easy to start your amaryllis.
You should plant a bulb in a loose planting mix. It’s the best to use a pot that is only slightly larger than the bulb. Make sure to position the bulb half way out of the soil. After the bulbs are planted, water thoroughly. Allow it to drain and when the soil is two-thirds dry, start a watering routine. You should also make sure that the plant receives at least half-day of bright light. Don’t forget to fertilize once a month.
Standard-size amaryllis has flower stems that emerge before the leaves. They grow quickly to the height of 12 to 24 inches. After this, they begin a sequence of blooms that lasts for about a month. After they bloom, you should cut the flower stem off. Cut just above the top of the bulb, but make sure not to cut the leaves.
If you want to grow amaryllis to produce blooms for years to come, you should water them as any other houseplant for the whole winter. During summer, keep the plants indoors in the bright light, or you may set them outside. Don’t forget to fertilize. If you choose to put your amaryllis outside, make sure that there is no chance of frost. Bury pots in a partially shaded location. You should bring the plants indoors in early September.
When you put them indoors, stop watering. Cut all of the yellow, old and dried leaves from the bulbs. Place them in darkness for a month in order to rest. After this, you should repot them in fresh soil and start with the watering regime to make the plant produce blooms.

England lost the European Championship to Italy on Sunday afternoon, 11 July. But on the morning of the same day, from the commercial spaceport America in the US state of New Mexico, wealthy and eccentric British entrepreneur Richard Branson, the founder of the Virgin group of companies, realised his long-cherished dream.
At almost 71 years of age, the Londoner has won the race to be the first to be the star of a flight that, if successful, should lead to commercial suborbital flights in 2022 for a price of around 250,000 euros. Branson has achieved this after creating the company Virgin Galactic and with a plane specifically designed to fly to the vicinity of the frontier of space.
The historic maiden flight of Richard Branson and his three companions began when the SpaceShipTwo suborbital aircraft, christened VSS Unity, took off at 16:40 local time on Sunday 11 July, fixed under the belly of the WhiteKnightTwo mother plane.
When WhiteKnightTwo had reached an altitude of 14 kilometres, the VSS Unity detached from its carrier aircraft and fell a few dozen metres. Soon after, its two veteran pilots ignited the unique aircraft's single hybrid rocket engine, which began a near-vertical ascent to a speed approaching Mach 3, three times the speed of sound.
Once the fuel had been consumed and the rocket engine shut down, the unique aircraft continued its ascent to 86.1 kilometres, turned back on itself and described a parabolic trajectory. It was then that the privileged travellers were able to unfasten their seat belts, float in microgravity conditions and feel the sensation of weightlessness in their bodies for about three minutes. At the same time, they were able to admire the curvature of the Earth from the 12 circular windows of the passenger cabin.
The spacecraft began the return flight without propulsion, thanks to the control system that regulates wing configuration and the expertise of its two veteran pilots, Dave Mackay and Mike Masucci. They tilted the aircraft's peculiar moving surfaces by 60 degrees to stabilise the aircraft in the upper layers of the atmosphere and achieve the necessary tilt during the critical stages of the ascent and return flight to Earth.
Less than 20 kilometres from the runway, the pilots repositioned the wings to their initial configuration to begin the approach and land on the long runway of Spaceport America. With his feet on the ground, Branson has reconfirmed that he wants to take "anyone" to the ends of the Earth.
His intention is that all human beings should have an equal chance of accessing outer space. His company Virgin Galactic wants to "turn dreamers into the astronauts of today and tomorrow, regardless of age, background, gender or ethnicity," he said. But each ticket costs around 250,000 euros.
Richard Branson has given the go-ahead to travel to the heights of the planet, from where it is possible to contemplate the spherical shape of the Earth and feel weightlessness for a few minutes. The Briton is just 9 days ahead of Jeff Bezos, with whom he is competing to lead a new travel segment that is opening up to tourists from all over the world. But his personal triumph and that of his company Virgin Galactic is limited.
The American tycoon will take part in the next chapter of the competition on 20 July, when he will take off with three other passengers aboard a launcher, on top of which sits the New Shepard capsule, which is prepared to travel more than a hundred kilometres in altitude.
Jeff Bezos is consoled by the fact that Richard Branson has only reached an altitude of 86.1 kilometres, almost the maximum power that the engine of his suborbital aircraft can deliver. This means that, for the vast majority of aeronautical and space institutions around the world, he has not crossed the boundary between the atmosphere and outer space, which is delimited by the so-called Karman line, a theoretical barrier located at 100 kilometres above the Earth's surface.
Failure to cross this boundary means that Branson and his companions are not true astronauts, for example, in the eyes of the International Astronautical Federation, the world's leading astronautical organisation. However, in the United States, the Air Force, the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) do recognise those who reach 80 kilometres as astronauts.
The reason is none other than that this is the distance above the Earth to which Alan Shepard managed to fly on 5 May 1961 aboard the Freedom 7 capsule, as a replica of the success of the Soviet Yuri Gagarin, who 12 weeks earlier had become the first cosmonaut to make an orbit around the Earth. Alan Shepard's was a suborbital flight of just 15 minutes, i.e. up and down, with the Americans satisfied that they had matched the Soviet Union, which was not true.

Hannah Kerr is one of our favorite newer singer-songwriters in the last couple of years, anchored by her strong debut, Overflow (buy). Dipping her toes into the holiday waters, Kerr has now released Emmanuel (buy), a six-song Christmas EP with four traditional songs and two new ones, including the title track and “Christmas Eve In Bethlehem.” The former is an inspiring, intimate tune co-written by Andy Gullahorn and Jill Phillips and is a warm reminder of the miracle of Christ’s incarnation. The latter is another slower number that places us all at the scene of Jesus’s birth and asks what our response would be. Fans of Overflow will enjoy this addition to Kerr’s growing catalog and her take on yuletide favorites.

|People struggle through hail and debris during an epic|
storm in Istanbul, Turkey this week.
On Thursday, an epic hail and wind storm and flash flood struck the sprawling city, injuring 10 people and, as you might expect, caused widespread damage.
Countless car and building windows were blown out, a number of roofs collapsed and flooding caused additional destruction.
Thursday's storm also knocked a crane over onto some oil barrels, setting off a large fire. An airliner had to make an emergency landing after hail badly damaged its front cone.
This was the second severe, very damaging storm in Istanbul this month.
Here's hail at least as big as baseballs hitting a street inundated by the flash flood:
Here's a video compilation, which includes outdoor tables at a restaurant disappearing into the maw of the storm, traffic navigating through the hail with car windows blown out, and flash flooding in the streets of Istanbul:
I don't know the veracity of this video, so it could well be a fake joke, fake news, but it's supposedly an Istanbul reporter outside in the storm who is perhaps too dedicated to her job.
Reputable news organizations have also shared this video, so I'm assuming they checked and it's legit. In any event, it's goofy enough to post:

Vaccinium myrtillus L. [Fam. Ericaceae]
Bilberry leaf tea; Bilberry leaf extract standardized for myrtillin
– Appetite Stimulant
– Astringent (externally)
– Blood Purification
– Blood Sugar Balancing
– Bone and Joint Problems
– Breathing Disorders
– Circulatory Disorders
– Digestive Disorders
– Gastrointestinal Problems
– Skin Problems
– Urinary Tract Problems
– Vascular Disorders
According to the German Pharmacopoeia, the leaves of bilberry, Vaccinium myrtillus L. [Fam. Ericaceae], were used traditionally as a tea for preventing and treating blood sugar control problems, disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, the kidneys and urinary tract, the respiratory tract, for bone and joint disorders, skin complaints, hemorrhoids, vascular disorders, for stimulating metabolism and for purifying the blood. The leaves are rich in tannins and a compound called myrtillin (methoxylated glucoside of gallic acid), known for its powerful ability to lower and/or normalize hyperglycemia. Both the leaves and berries of bilberry are listed by the German Commission E for their tremendous benefits for individuals unable to control their blood sugar. Myrtillin can safely help to normalize blood sugar levels in many people who have lost this ability. Bilberry leaf also contains remarkably high amounts of chromium (9.0 ppm), which increases the glucose tolerance factor. Chromium enhances insulin's role in oxidizing glucose by up to 100 times. Everyone needs approximately 200 ug per day, but many people do not even get the bare minimum of 50ug. Bilberry leaf tea was one of the top treatments for people suffering from blood sugar disorders before the discovery of insulin. Although less potent than insulin, it is also considered by some researchers to be less damaging to the body over long-term use. The recommended effective dose of myrtillin is 1g/day. A single dosage can produce blood sugar balancing effects lasting for several weeks. Dr. Allen (1927) showed that with this dosage of myrtillin, an individual could quickly become able to make an increase of diet or a decrease of insulin or both, and to prevent hypoglycemic attacks. Modern studies confirm the powerful hyperglycemic effects and other benefits of bilberry leaf and its extract.
The leaves of Bilberry contain: 0.8-6.7% catechol tannins; oligomeric proanthocyanidins; flavonoids including quercetin and quercetin glycosides; myrtillin and neomyrtillin (glucokinins); phenol-carboxylic acids and iridoids; Arbutin and hydroquinone (in trace amounts only); manganese; chromium; quinolizidine alkaloids, myrtine and epimyrtine.
For Hyperglycemia: Unless otherwise prescribed, 1 gram of myrtillin is taken daily. Alternatively, boiling water is poured over two teaspoons of finely chopped bilberry leaves and after ten minutes strained. Bilberry leaf tea is taken 3-5 times per day, or as required. Bilberry leaf tea is not recommended for prolonged use, due to the high tannin content of the leaves that may damage the liver. One Teaspoon = ca. 0.6 grams.
Bilberry leaf tea and myrtillin extracts may reduce the required dosages of insulin for individuals with blood sugar control difficulties.
Bilberry leaf tea is not recommended for prolonged use, due to the high tannin content of the leaves that may damage the liver.
There can be some concern about the effect of long-term tannin exposure to the liver from an aqueous bilberry leaf extract, as opposed to treatment with pure myrtillin, so those interested may want to research this point further. The studies done with Dr. Allan were conducted using purified myrtillin, which he reports, is found in all green plants but is most abundant and easy to isolate from blueberry leaves and other myrtles. One animal study in the older literature reported severe hydroquinone-type poisoning reactions with long-term use of bilberry leaf tea, but these effects were never repeated and it is now understood that hydroquinones and arbutin in bilberry leaf are present only in traces.

CMS AWARDS FIRST OF 15 CONTRACTS TO PROCESS AND PAY MEDICARE PART A AND PART B CLAIMS
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) today announced the award of the first of 15 contracts for the combined handling in six states of both Part A and Part B Medicare claims. The winning contractor is Noridian Administrative Services, LLC, (NAS), headquartered in Fargo , N.D.
As the new Part A/Part B Medicare Administrative Contractor (A/B MAC), NAS will serve as the first point-of-contact for processing and paying fee-for-service claims from hospitals and other institutional providers, physicians, and other practitioners in Arizona , Montana , North Dakota , South Dakota , Utah and Wyoming .
“The contract award is a major step to improved Medicare service for beneficiaries and providers, and significant cost savings from greater efficiency in managing the original fee-for-service Medicare program,” said CMS Administrator Mark B. McClellan, M.D., Ph.D. “Noridian Administrative Services was selected through a full and open performance-based competition to administer the program as effectively and efficiently as possible.”
The A/B MAC contract, which has a value of $28.9 million for the first year of performance, is the first of 15 to be awarded by 2011 to fulfill requirements of the contracting reform provisions of the Medicare Modernization Act of 2003. NAS will immediately begin implementation activities and will assume full responsibilities for the claims processing work in its six-state jurisdiction no later than March 2007.
Under the current system, fiscal intermediaries process claims for Medicare Part A providers, including hospitals and skilled nursing facilities. Part B contractors, known as carriers, handle claims for doctors, laboratories and other practitioners. When contracting reform is fully implemented, the fiscal intermediaries and carriers will be replaced by MACs that will be responsible for both Part A and B claims.
“For beneficiaries and providers, the new structure will mean that they each have a single point of contact with the Medicare program,” Dr. McClellan said. “The MACs will serve as the point of contact for all Medicare providers and physicians in their respective jurisdictions, while beneficiaries will pose any questions about their claims to a Beneficiary Contact Center .”
CMS awarded the A/B/MAC contract to NAS which offered the best overall value to the federal government, when both cost and technical qualifications were considered. The contract, which includes a base period and four one-year options, will provide NAS with an opportunity to earn award fees based on its ability to meet or exceed the performance requirements set by CMS.
These requirements, based on CMS’ key objectives for MACs, are enhanced provider customer service, increased payment accuracy, improved provider education and training leading to correct claims submissions, and cost savings resulting from efficiencies and innovation. In accordance with the Medicare Modernization Act, MAC contracts must be put up for competitive bidding at least every five years.

Fall finally arrived and it’ll be noticed in the temperatures
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - Fall has finally arrived!
A pleasant end to the work week ahead...
- Chilly starts, comfortable afternoons through Saturday
- Another cold front moves through Sunday into Monday
- Keeping an eye on the tropics...
Charlotte reached a high temperature of 96-degrees to start off the first day of fall... But a strong cold front has ushered those fall-like conditions back into the area as we near the weekend! Gusty winds are ushering in drier, cooler conditions and temperatures will start off in the 40s and 50s across the region Friday morning as a result.
With high pressure building in, anticipate lots of sunshine Friday afternoon as highs only reach the 60s and 70s. Saturday morning will be even cooler before a gradual warming trend takes us into the second half of the weekend. Highs will be back in the mid 80s by Sunday afternoon and the humidity will be a little higher as well. Eventually, another cold front will bring cooler and more comfortable conditions our way once again, and maybe even a few showers and storms in the process.
Although the rest of the 7-day forecast looks dry and comfortable, the Southeast will have to keep a close eye on the tropics for any possible impacts into the extended forecast. Here’s your early heads up/first alert to check in for frequent updates over the next week or so as we monitor what comes of Invest 98L. Invest 98L will likely become a tropical depression or tropical storm within the next day or so.
A move into a more favorable environment for intensification in the Central/Western Caribbean is then possible from there. But, because this system has not developed yet, we have much to learn over the next couple of days. We’ll keep you posted!

Harald Jähner’s Aftermath, which is published in paperback this April, starts where most popular histories of Europe’s bloody 20th century end, with Nazi Germany’s surrender in 1945. Rather than focusing on diplomatic treaties or political decisions, it explores the overlooked decade after the end of the second world war through the lives of ordinary people, diving into memoirs and trends in popular culture.
Jähner, 69, was previously the editor of Berliner Zeitung’s arts section and is now an honorary professor of cultural journalism at the Berlin University of the Arts. Aftermath, which is his first non-academic book, won the nonfiction prize at the 2019 Leipzig book fair and Shaun Whiteside’s English translation was shortlisted for the Baillie Gifford prize in 2021.
The original German title of Aftermath is Wolfszeit, or “Time of the Wolves”. What was wolf-like about the first decade after the end of the second world war?
“Time of the wolves” was a commonly used phrase in Germany at the time, referring to the Latin “Homo homini lupus” – “man is wolf to man”. It painted a picture of a state of anarchy: everyone only cared for their own pack, their own family. The idea of community collapsed.
Nowadays we know that wolves are very flexible creatures that maintain complex relationships with one another. In postwar Germany, there was often great cohesion among people, for example among the trümmerfrauen or “rubble women” who formed chains to clear up the debris left behind by the bombs. Those who lost everything did a lot to help one another. There was an experimental approach to new forms of human interactions that also made this period very exciting. People yearned for one another as much as they were scared of one another.
There was also Goebbels’s propaganda myth of the “werewolf”: resistance fighters who would terrorise allied forces after the defeat of Nazi Germany. Apart from a small number of isolated cases, that myth never became reality. The vast majority of Germans were fed up with fighting. They had started to see the true face of nazism in the final months of the war, when the SS combed through a war-ravaged society in search for teenagers and pensioners they could send to the front. The same nation that had fought fanatically until the regime’s capitulation suddenly became very peaceful and obedient.
You were born in 1953, almost at the end of the period you describe. What was your family’s experience of the aftermath of the second world war?
I was 15 in the seminal year of 1968, and like many young people I demanded answers from my parents. I was outraged by the pictures of atrocities in concentration camps that had gradually found their way in to the press, and I wanted to know what they had done. My father had been in the navy, my mother had been a teacher in occupied Poland. Their answers were evasive, sometimes helpless. Their inability to talk about what happened to the Jews shocked us. We had a lot of fights.
Did your research for this book make you look differently at your parents’ generation?
Definitely. One question that animated me was how Germany has managed to become a reliable democracy. When did the Germans lose their narcissistic streak? When did these learning processes start? It can’t have been through reading Alexis de Tocqueville or the German constitution; the change of mentality must have happened at a deeper level.
I started to suspect early on that my own generation’s thesis, that only the student revolution of 1968 had made Germany habitable again, was false. Our parents’ generation had learned lessons of its own accord. One extremely formative experience was the black market that flourished in the years after the end of the war. For example, the black market taught them that things were relative. The kings of the black market were young traders, 15 to 17 years old, many of them former Hitler Youth, who traded with Nazi memorabilia. During the war, objects such as the SS honour dagger had a mythological value – now they went for two cartons of Lucky Strikes. This was a generation trained in looking at the world completely without pathos. It made me understand my parents differently, and better, though I wouldn’t say I have entirely made peace with their generation.
In the decade after the Holocaust, Germany tried to repress its past and it largely managed to do so. That makes it hard to love that generation. I feel very uncomfortable with Germans who stylise themselves as world champions of coming to terms with your own history and want to hand out lessons to other nations. I have the feeling that this critical engagement with the past is something that is now easily championed, but I am not sure we have all learned the lessons.
Are there lessons to be learned from the way Germany, once so notoriously aggressive, was pacified after the war?
The allied nations of the Americans, the British and the French played a key role. American entertainment culture had a very pacifying effect on Germany: its films taught us previously unknown, relaxed and laconic attitudes. It wasn’t just chocolate and cigarettes that made American GIs attractive to German women, but because they embodied a freer lifestyle. They were softer than their German counterparts: American soldiers were seen pushing prams through bombed-out cities, which was absolutely unheard of at the time. Germany learned less about liberalism through official denazification programmes than through pop culture. If there is a lesson for these modern times, it is how important it is to keep on caring for a nation even once it has been defeated.
The attitudes to war we are seeing in Germany now are also a result of the experience of the cold war, of seeing your country divided into two spheres of influence and imagining that you may have to fight against members of your own family. That created a much more dominant yearning for peace than in other European nations, like Poland. As a result, many Germans nowadays value peace more highly than freedom.
What are you working on now?
I am working on a book about the Weimar Republic, the time between the wars. As in Aftermath, I am interested in mass culture, popular song, dance styles, and the relations between the sexes.
Which books are on your bedside table?
I am reading a lot of novels from the 1920s, for example the novelist Ruth Landshoff-Yorck’s The Many and the One and Klaus Mann’s autobiography The Turning Point. When I try to relax, I pick up the collected works of Adalbert Stifter.
Which book would you give to a young person?
Show Them a Good Time by the young Irish short story writer Nicole Flattery, who has a better understanding of teenage despair and lust for life than anyone I’ve ever read.

La Corbina sits by itself near the top of a hill, with an astonishing view of surrounding hill-top villages, the unblemished valley below and undulating hills in the distance. La Corbina is surrounded by a vineyard and olive groves and is part of a small working farm. The house itself is a restored stone farmhouse which was originally built in the 18th century. This freestanding house is the only rental unit. The two of us live in a small stone house next to the farmhouse .
We lovingly restored the farmhouse using the building materials we found on the site, supplemented, where necessary, with antique building materials such as terracotta floor and roof tiles and stone sinks. It was for years our own home and therefore feels like a home, not a rental property. Our design philosophy is 'less is more' and everything is of the highest quality. The furniture is a mix of new designer pieces and antique, rustic furniture with simple, straight lines.
We make our own wine and olive oil and have two vegetable gardens. The crop depends on the season and includes a wide variety of vegetables such as tomatoes, zucchini, eggplants, peppers, tomatillos, peas, beans, leaks, artichokes, cabbage, sun chokes and many more. We use organic methods for the cultivation of our plants. The property also has fruit trees and berry bushes. If you enjoy cooking, you can pick your vegetables and herbs right in front of the house.
Our large (14 x 7 meter) infinity pool sits above the house on top of the hill and has breathtaking views. There are several areas with tables and chairs around the house which invite to al fresco meals. The kitchen is very well appointed and a dream for the passionate chef.
If you want to ever leave this place, Siena, Montalcino, Arezzo, Cortona and Florence can all be reached in around an hour or less by car. We can also help you find the best vineyards and restaurants in the area.
The house is about 160 square meters (about 1,700 square feet) on two levels with a split level kitchen. The bedrooms are spacious (25 square meters / 270 square feet). The upstairs bedroom has a large bathroom with an open shower. The downstairs bedroom has a bathroom with a big, deep custom made bathtub and a separate shower. The kitchen is also spacious with 30 square meters / 320 square feet, has a lot of white marble counter space, two big sink areas, and an antique kitchen table that can be expanded to seat up to ten people. The living room is relatively small (20 square meters / 215 square feet) but cozy with a large wood burning fire place.
The covered upstairs balcony never gets too hot, even on the hottest days. There is always a light breeze to keep you cool. The deep teak bench with its thick mattress is the ideal space to 'recover' from a long, lazy lunch. The balcony also has stunning views of the valley below and the hill top villages nearby. Outside the kitchen there is an enormous marble table which seats twelve guests and which has beautiful morning sun. Here you are also surrounded by potted herbs and have a view of the small vineyard next to the house. There are many more spaces around the house and the pool which wait for you to be discovered!
How to reach La Corbina
La Corbina is a rural, isolated place and the access roads for the last five kilometers are not paved, but are maintained gravel, stone and dirt.

“As we start to map out the 2017 schedule ahead of the ICC Women’s World Cup, we also firmly believe that we must factor in sufficient time for the women’s county 50-over competition and for club cricket.”
The decision has been reached as part of the ongoing review of the inaugural T20 competition, in which the ECB is talking to the six hosts as well as players and partners.
CRICKETher understands that there had been some significant disquiet amongst the counties, who feared that a 50-over Super League would leave the Women’s County Championship unviable due to limited player availability and scheduling constraints.
The 2017 season already looks to be congested, with the World Cup due to take place in July, and it was unclear how a 50-over KSL competition could be fitted in around existing domestic commitments. One proposal, to hold a 50-over KSL in May, would have led to severe shortage of players, given that many have work / educational commitments during that period.
It is as yet unclear whether a 50-over KSL will go ahead in 2018.

In Reply to: Happy Birthday George!!! posted by Sarah M. on August 20, 1999 at 22:15:54:
: Today, the 21st, is the nnth birthday of the site historian, George Bray, a Major with Rogers Rangers. Donna and I had the pleasure of meeting George at the Grand Encampment at Crown Point last weekend. He gave us an extraordinary tour of the ruins and told us all sorts of interesting facts, as the man is a walking F&I Encyclopedia. George occasionally answers questions here on this board; he told us he helps with questions on F&I history and detail of historical accuracy (e.g., the color of the braid on different uniforms!), and is responsible for some of the content on this site (including "The Fine Art of Scalping"). Don't know if Rich and Elaine found him or vice versa, but we all win from that connection!
: And he said he would be celebrating all alone, so the best we can do is say Happy Birthday George!!! Many happy returns of the day!!
Dear Sarah, Elaine, Victoria, and Marcia,
Thank you all for the birthday well wishes. I am most grateful for them and they mean alot. And additionally, thank you for your kind words. I am pleased that my input has been both welcome and helpful to the site, and I have some more to contribute as soon as I can get it organized and sent up. One of the things I will introduce is a bibliography for your use and some information relative to Lt Col John Young & the Rangers at the siege of Fort William Henry.
Speaking of Fort William Henry, David Starbuck is digging there again this season and I spent some time with him at the site on my way to Louisbourg a month ago. I had not seen him for sometime and it was nice to get to converse with him awhile. He was just starting the 2nd day of the dig for a period of 6 weeks. Do not know what he has found this season, but things found in previous digs were on display in a room that had been reset up just to show them. Also a video was playing showing Dave down in the well and he was telling me a bit about that. As I learn what might have happened there I will try to relate it here and on my webpage.
I would also like to say it was great meeting Sarah and Donna at Crown Point and I had a great time showing them about the site and talking to them about the French and Indian War. They both are wonderful people and really interested in the conflict and the reenacting scene. I was honored to have narrated the battles during the event, and to also narrate a couple other happenings as well. I hope to meet them again and others on the board as time goes by.
Thank again to all of you and hope you are all having a wonderful summer and that the rest of the year is nothing but outstanding for all. Talk to you all soon.
George A. Bray III

|Population||2,934 (2016 census)|
|LGA(s)||Shire of Waroona|
Waroona is a town located in the Peel region of Western Australia along the South Western Highway, between Pinjarra and Harvey. The town is the seat of the Shire of Waroona. At the 2016 census, Waroona had a population of 2,934.
The town was originally known as Drakesbrook, and was first settled by John Fouracre in 1891. A railway station on the Pinjarra to Picton Junction railway line with the name "Drake's Brook", named after William Henry Drake, an Assistant Commissioner General and original landholder in the area (1847), opened in September 1893 and the town was surveyed and gazetted by March 1895. The surveyor-general of the day recommended the name change from Drake's Brook to Drakesbrook as "it is more euphonious and would look better on the plan". The change was made official in October 1896, and in the same year a post office was opened.
In 1895 Joseph McDowell built a timber mill in the northern end of the surveyed townsite at present-day Mill Street, near which a railway siding was opened. Due to the unpopularity of the initial subdivision, new lots were surveyed near the mill, which became known as Waroona. This name was most probably a corruption of Werroona near the Bendigo goldfields in Victoria, believed to be McDowell's hometown. (The original word meant "resting place" in the Djadjawurrung language.)
The town was boosted by the building of the railway, for which local timber was milled for sleepers. It catered to the needs of the mill workers with a post office, general store, school, blacksmith, a number of hotels come boarding houses, churches, doctor and dentist. The farms supplied butter, fruit and vegetables for the men of the mills, and chaff for the horse teams that hauled the logs.In March 1899, McDowell's Siding was converted into Waroona Station, and figures for rail traffic on the South Western Railway reveal that total earnings of outgoing traffic from Waroona was the highest of any station from 1904–47.
Development was confused in the early years as Drakesbrook and Waroona both persisted in usage - in the 1890s referring to the separate towns 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) apart (of which Waroona was the focus of most major development) but often coming to be used interchangeably. The two settlements gradually merged into one town, which became known as Waroona. The name was officially changed in 1946.
The first Waroona Dam, now the Drakesbrook Dam, was built in 1931–32 under the guidance of the Waroona Irrigation District by unemployed people on work programmes during the Great Depression. The completion of the dam, together with drainage and irrigation works, were the start of a period of considerable development in Waroona. The present Waroona Dam, further up in the hills, was officially opened in 1966.
The railway cottages, built in 1896 to accommodate railway employees (until about 1970), and which have survived to the modern day and have been heritage-listed, are the only surviving timber and iron clad platelayers' cottages in Western Australia and are among a very small number of nineteenth-century timber and iron railway houses extant in 2003.
The local dairy industry included a local Nestlé milk factory, which was functional until the mid-20th century. It has since become a private compound for heavy machinery.
Following a lightning strike near Nanga Brook a bushfire broke out that caused extensive damage to bushland, properties and infrastructure in the area including the collapse of the Samson Brook bridge on the South Western Highway. The fire started early on 6 January 2016 and as at 4 pm on 7 January it continued to burn out of control with in excess of 21,000 hectares (52,000 acres) burnt and residents being evacuated to facilities in Pinjarra or Australind. The towns of Yarloop and Harvey were also threatened by the fire with residents urged to evacuate; most of Yarloop was destroyed by it. The town of Preston Beach was isolated with residents sheltering on the beach or evacuated by boat.
Waroona is located on South Western Highway, 113 kilometres (70 mi) south of Perth at the foot of the Darling Range and has a population of about 1,800. Agriculture (including dairying) and tourism are the major economic activities, and an irrigation system from the Drakesbrook Weir waters the town and nearby agricultural areas. Every October the town hosts the Waroona Agricultural Show.
Waroona has a recreation centre and two public sports ovals. Until the 1990s, an abattoir operated from the town, but one in nearby Harvey now fulfils this purpose, and some Waroona residents work there. Shopping needs are met by local businesses and supermarkets. Nearby Waroona Dam and Drakesbrook Weir are now popular tourist and picnic spots and camping grounds, offering activities such as canoeing and water-skiing. Several heritage trails and art and craft shops are also located in Waroona. The shire president is Noel Dew.
There are two local schools: St Joseph's Primary School (Catholic) and Waroona District High School, which is a primary (elementary) school including kindergarten and junior high school. Senior high school is usually completed by local students in the towns of Pinjarra, Harvey and Mandurah.
On 26 July 2005 the Drakesbrook School House, first opened in 1898 as a one-room school and located in Centennial Park, was burnt down. It had been closed since the 1980s but maintained as a historic site. After police investigations, the remaining structure was removed, but a year later the Council approved a memorial to the school to be built on the site in consultation with the Waroona Historical Society.
The Waroona Visitor Centre is the location of a local art and craft gallery. Public artwork has been installed around the town site since 1998, as part of the Alcoa and Fremantle Arts Centre "Art in the Community" project. These include the "forest" of heritage bush poles near the northern tourist information bay, which are jarrah poles that have been carved and painted, as well as a 24-tonne (53,000 lb) concrete sofa with patchwork quilt, knitted by more than 60 local women, with pieces depicting life in Waroona. The Waroona Heritage Trail – which can be walked or driven – passes by historic buildings and sites, and is marked by artistic bollards. The trail's guidebook is illustrated by sketches of the sites drawn by local artists.
The main road route through the town is the South Western Highway (Route 20; Perth to Bunbury via Pinjarra and Harvey).
Waroona is located on the South Western Railway and is a stopping place for the Australind passenger train from Perth to Bunbury.

|The breast reduction procedure removes fat, glandular tissue and skin from the breasts, making the breasts smaller, lighter and firmer. Breast reduction can also reduce the size of the areola – the darker skin surrounding the nipple. The goal of this procedure is to give patient smaller breasts that are in proportion with the rest of her body. Breast reduction is usually performed for physical relief as also for cosmetic improvement.|
Although techniques vary, the most common breast reduction procedure involves an anchor-shaped incision that circles the areola, which extends downward, and follows the natural curve of the crease beneath the breast. Dr. Viral Desai will remove the excess glandular tissue, fat and skin, moving the nipple and areola to their new positions. He will then bring skin from both sides of the breast down and around the areola, shaping the new contour of the breast. The surgery lasts for about 2 to 4 hours. This procedure may be used in conjunction with liposuction to remove excess fat from the armpit area.
WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER THE SURGERY
RISKS, COMPLICATIONS AND SIDE EFFECTS
Side effects include noticeable scars (poor healing and wider scars are more common among smokers), slightly mismatched breasts, unevenly positioned nipples and possible loss of feeling in nipples or breasts. Since breast reduction surgery removes most of the milk ducts leading to the nipples, future breast-feeding may not be possible.

Just one day after bringing him in for a visit, the Seattle Seahawks have signed free agent Aldon Smith.
Aldon Smith Seahawks News
The Seahawks ranked top-10 in the NFL in sacks last year, but not a lot of that pressure came from their edge rushers — none of whom ranked any better than third on the team or had more than 6.0 sacks.
Aldon Smith Stats
Smith was one of the most promising young pass rushers in the league early in his career, racking up an absurd 33.5 sacks across his first two seasons, being named an All-Pro in 2012.
Inactive due to suspensions since the 2015 season, there was plenty of room for concern that he wouldn't be the same player when he returned with the Dallas Cowboys in 2020. He still tallied 5.0 sacks and 14 QB hits though, earning a pass rush grade of 70.0 from Pro Football Focus. That beats Carlos Dunlap (64.8) and Benson Mayowa (61.5). Smith can clearly still play.
FanDuel Sportsbook's odds for the 2021 season have the Seahawks tied for ninth at +2300 to win the Super Bowl.
