So you have decided to lose weight using non-invasive treatments? But, have done proper research to find out what kind of treatment works best for you? To achieve your weight loss goal, you need to reduce your caloric intake to a great extent, but for that you must consider all the measures that need to be taken to reach your target weight.
Once you have made the decision to lose weight, you will probably want to start while your motivation is at its peak. But if you do not develop a plan, you probably will not have the tools to overcome the obstacles. It would be too easy to give up, and you might even regain the lost weight, if the weight loss treatment is not ideal.
The Million Dollar Question: Can you get lean, increase body mass and lose fat at the same time? Well the answer is Yes and No. Understand that the body does not accept contradictory practices, the results attained will not be effective. Increasing muscle mass is an anabolic process and the fat loss process is catabolic: In order to increase muscle, you need to eat more calories that you burn, your diet should contain enough calories, and the cardiovascular system should be balanced. For proper fat loss, you need to follow a strict diet and exercise routine. You can lose fat without losing a lot of muscle mass or increasing lean muscle mass without increasing the fat.
If you want effective yet faster weight loss, consider non-invasive weight loss treatments like laser-like lipo and body contouring. Our hormones have a bog role in whether our body will attain the desired level of weight loss. Whether you opt for losing weight through simple lifestyle changes, or chose to undergo a non-invasive treatment, it’s important to do it in a steady manner. The hormonal activity in our body is more optimum when there is not a significant amount of fat, balance is essential.
If you are male, your fat should be between 10-13% maximum. If you are a woman, your fat should be between 19-23%, so consult your doctor accordingly. If you have already lost fat and are within the mentioned fat percentages, then give yourself 2-4 months to work on muscle mass and then work on attaining weight loss. But this is the usual yet tiring way of losing weight, which doesn’t always work for every individual. This is where non-invasive weight loss strategies can help. But a nutritious diet is equally important, let us look at some of the important diet necessities that can aid in the weight loss process.
Losing Fat By Combining Diet and Weight Loss Treatments
You need to burn more calories than you can consume. There must be a calorie deficit created by a reduction of calories in the diet (300-500 Cal) and an increase in caloric expenditure with exercise or treatments like laser lipo. Consume at least 5-6 meals a day every three hours, this can control the appetite, insulin and also improve the nutrient absorption capacity of your system. You should consume more protein than any other macro-nutrient, lower carbohydrates, eat them early and increase some healthy fats, exercise occasionally and undergo all the sessions of the non-invasive weight loss treatment.
Essential Foods To Gain Lean Muscle Mass While You Lose Body Fat
We want to consume particular food that are quite essential for your body and manage to attaining a healthy system. Non-invasive weight loss treatments cannot work all the magic. To consistently decrease and manage weight, you need to consider your diet as well. Give enough importance to foods that are proven through clinical studies to aid in gaining lean mass and help with weight loss.
Make sure to consult the medical expert who is offering the laser-like lipo or body contouring service, to give you some tips on clubbing proper diet with the treatment. The aim is to attaining muscles and not fat. This will help you lose body fat and attain the goal that you have set for yourself:
We are talking about whole eggs, yolks and egg whites, leaving nothing out. Researchers found that subjects who underwent weight training and treatment and consumed two whole eggs per day, had gained lean muscle mass and strength over those who did not eat more than one whole egg per day.
It may be considered as a supplement for some, but we are going to label it as food here. Whey protein is the quickest to digest. It is also rich in branched amino acids or BCAA’s and provides peptides (small fragments of proteins) that improve blood flow. For people who want to build lean muscle, drink a whey protein shake every day upon waking, as well as before and after rigorous workouts. One of the benefits of non-invasive weight loss programs is that it does not deter you from getting back to your fitness routine after the treatments are done.
Casein protein is also critical to gaining lean mass. Research shows that those who add casein to their whey after workout gains more muscle mass than those who do not. Another study found that while whey significantly reduced hunger and leads to reduced food intake, casein protein did not. When you are trying to gain lean muscle, you have to eat a proper nutritious meal. Casein will help you attain a lot of protein and calories without filling your stomach too much.
Red meat has received a severe blow almost everywhere, except in the bodybuilding community. Its good reputation is still maintained. Saturated fat and cholesterol in meat are known to increase testosterone levels as well as strength and lean mass. Beef also contains iron, vitamin B12, and zinc, among other nutrients, which promote the growth of lean muscle mass and the supporting force. But make sure to eat it in moderation and consult a nutritionist before following any diet plan. You do not want an improper diet ruin your non-invasive weight loss results.
To attain lean body mass, you should also integrate omega 3 fatty acids. For example, the essential fatty acids found in salmon are known to stimulate muscle growth, decrease muscle breakdown, increase fat burning in the body and provides other health benefits. Try to consume at least 2 to 3 salmon meals a week. Walnuts also contain a high amount of omega 3 fatty acids, so do flax seeds, which taste great when sprinkled over cottage cheese or peanut butter.

Follow along as eXtasy Books unveils a new book each day as part of the Twelve Days of Christmas collection!
On the eighth day of Christmas my true love sent to me…
Two men, a smart little girl, and a pet cow…
Ballet dancer Jamie has never fit in with his loud and brash blue-collar family. They grudgingly accepted him being gay, but when Jamie’s father finds him wearing one of his sister’s dresses, Jamie ends on his best friend’s sofa. An ad for a female live-in nanny position in rural Kansas seems like a Christmas gift from above and a solution to his homelessness. Never mind that Jamie knows nothing about farm life. Or cows. Or kids. At least he knows how to rock a dress.
Ben Franklin—yes, his parents are crazy like that—is a dairy farmer in desperate need of female assistance. At least that were his mother’s last words before she left for Florida with her new husband. All Ben knows is raising cattle. Now he’s tasked with raising his niece Charlie as well. The last thing Ben expected when he placed an ad for a nanny was to develop confusing feelings for the beautiful Janie.
With a little Christmas magic, the help of a pet cow, and a mischievous little girl, two men might find the true meaning of home, family, and love.
She started writing in college when she found herself unable to ignore the guys living in her head any longer. And to distract herself from the stifling, non-fiction stuff taught in class. Liza is really fond of the dudes whispering in her mind—no matter if handsome or flawed, big or small, sulky or easy-going. They all deserve love and their HEAs.
When she’s not writing, you can find her curled up with a good book and a cup of tea, a cat in her lap, or a camera at the ready.

Why It's Good For Your Health And The Environment
The Mediterranean diet is a healthy and sustainable nutritional model, based on the consumption of food produced in the Mediterranean countries and combined according to traditional recipes based on seasonality, balanced and complete from a nutritional point of view through the combination of nutrients fundamental to the well-being of our organismThe Mediterranean diet, thanks to its variety and balance, is considered a preventive factor for various pathologies and disorders. That is why it is important to educate children about this type of diet so that it becomes a habit from an early age.What is the Mediterranean Diet?The Mediterranean diet (DM) is a dietary model based on biodiversity and shared by Mediterranean countries.Each nation has different local dishes and culinary traditions, but they are united by food choices unlike those typical of Northern Europe or North America.In fact, the Mediterranean diet is based on a wide variety of seasonal fruits and vegetables, grains and legumes, as well as fish, eggs, meat and the precious extra virgin olive oil (EVO).The abundance of fresh food makes it particularly easy to put together balanced dishes.The 'Healthy Plate' is an example of this: half composed of raw and/or cooked vegetables, the other half divided equally by a protein source of animal or vegetable origin and one of preferably whole-grain carbohydrates.
All seasoned with EVO, to taste you can add aromatic herbs that are abundant in the Mediterranean area and possibly dried fruits and seeds.When we talk about nutrition, we generally do not mean a diet of deprivation, but a range of healthy food choices that contribute to psychophysical well-being.The Mediterranean diet guarantees a correct intake of proteins, carbohydrates and fats, has a high intake of dietary fiber and a low glycemic index.55-60% of the Mediterranean diet includes the consumption of carbohydrates in the form of grains, preferably whole grains, and 10-15% from proteins (in turn divided into 60% animal and 40% vegetable), only 10% of this diet is represented by simple sugars (excluding fruits).Therefore, it is a type of diet suitable for any regime, be it normal, low-calorie or high-calorie.The benefits of the Mediterranean dietThe Mediterranean diet is an important preventive factor when it comes to certain chronic degenerative diseases whose incidence is increasing in our country, such as diabetes, obesity and metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular and osteo-articular diseases and cancer.The increased incidence of these disorders is partly caused by a deviation from traditional Mediterranean eating habits.The hectic lifestyle that characterizes our society and our work rhythm often forces us to consume pre-packaged food or to resort to restaurants, bars and canteens more than we should.In addition, the increased availability of foods outside the traditional model can sometimes also lead to nutritional imbalances.The benefits of DM are mainly due to some of its components, such as monounsaturated fatty acids (especially oleic acid from olive oil), dietary fiber from vegetables, fruits, and legumes, and antioxidants that color fruits, vegetables, and red wine (such as bioflavonoids).Last but not least, the satisfaction of the palate that also makes the Mediterranean diet a valuable ally of the figure.The Mediterranean diet, which can draw on a wide variety of foods, helps to prepare many different and colorful dishes in all seasons, even quickly, without boredom setting in.Seasonality and sustainability: why they matterChoosing to buy fruits and vegetables in season has several advantages.
It provides food biodiversity that is important for everything our bodies need to stay healthy.This is because the fruits and vegetables consumed during their natural ripening period provide maximum levels of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that are beneficial precisely at the time of year in which they grow; therefore it will also be tastier, more colorful and more fragrant.Last but not least, seasonal products are often cheaper.Seasonality is not only an advantage for us, but also respects the environment and ensures crop rotation and the production of different vegetables in each area, taking into account the biodiversity of the areas.Respecting seasonality is therefore a particularly important part of our food choices that we should never give up if possible.As we have said, an important part of the Mediterranean diet is represented by grains, legumes and vegetables, which require fewer natural resources and fewer greenhouse gases than foods of animal origin.A lower environmental impact is also due to the portion size of the Mediterranean tradition, which is generally moderate, and to the consumption of a lot of fresh and unprocessed (or at least with limited processing) foods.


Held at NESCO Grounds, DNA Auto Expo saw a host of cars on display. The Baja car designed by 22 students from Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute (VJTI) was declared the Mumbai winner at Pithampur earlier in the year at Baja 2014. The competition organized by Society of Automotive Enthusiasts saw 125 projects shortlisted by judges of 327 registered teams.
The car was put through a series of test drives on off roading conditions. The car had to run for 300 to 400 kms both before and during the competition. All participating cars were tested on the basis of safety, reliability and efficiency. This competition is held each year for engineering students across India with the main event being held in Pithampur, Indore where elimination rounds were held.
Much planning and design went into each of the participating cars with concentration on dimension of chassis, body of car, choice of tyres and suspension system, steering mechanism and transmission all being taken into consideration. The Baja car was made over a period of 1 year 3months and runs on a single petroleum engine. Not resting on their laurels, VJTI Racing is currently working on making a Formula Racing car for national level competitions, SUPRA.

If you were to do a survey of the gaming populace most people will tell you that they grew up with Nintendo. Indeed even my first game was Super Mario Bros. for the NES and I wasn't born until 1993. This legacy plays a key part in Nintendo's success and their actions and is a big part in why they are so iconic. The thing is though is that, back in those days, there were only really the consoles from Sega and Nintendo, there were others but they couldn't really compete. Of course things have changed a lot since then.
Though my first console was a NES I was so young at the time that my memories of it are hazy, I would certainly never say I grew up with it. The console I grew up with was the PlayStation. Yep, I'm a Nintendo fan but I didn't grow up with their consoles.
New generations are getting into gaming and the choice of console is broader now and all of them appeal to children one way or another so now we see people who didn't grow up with Nintendo, there are even people who are gamers but haven't played Mario, Zelda or Metroid. Needless to say this could have an interesting effect on the industry, Nintendo may find themselves no longer considered as the spiritual fathers of the industry, Sony or Microsoft might find they have the monopoly on childhood memories and gaming.
Of course with the Wii Nintendo still dominate the child market but perhaps with the growing success of Kinect and PlayStation Move Sony might be able to dethrone the Wii, especially with the Wii U likely to lose much of the child market that the Wii held.
So what console did you grow up with? Was your childhood defined by Nintendo, or was it it Microsoft or Sony? Perhaps you're older and maybe remember when the choice was pretty much between a NES and a Genesis, or maybe you're weird and had some other console.

Members of the Congressional Gaming Caucus are waiting for a report on whether raising the tax threshold on slot machine winnings is feasible.
Nine months ago, Congress passed legislation requesting the US Treasury Department to raise taxes is practical. Currently, the tax reporting threshold stands at $1, 200.
Members of the caucus sent a letter to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Friday reminding her about the report. It is the right moment, especially when lawmakers in Capitol Hill seek to finalize the 2022 spending bills.
The letter requested the department expeditiously prepare the report and deliver it to Congress to address the burdensome issue. The Treasury has until 27th March next year to submit.
The current $1, 200 threshold on slot winnings was set in 1977 by the federal government. However, the caucus claim that the size of the jackpot has become increased.
“Because the threshold has not kept up with inflation, this outdated policy has produced a dramatic increase in the number of reportable jackpots, which has increased the operational costs and associated burdens for casinos, their patrons, and the internal Revenue Service.”
However, this is not the first time Treasury has been requested to raise the threshold. In 2019, reps. Dina Titus, D-Nev, and Darin LaHood, R-III wrote to Treasury Assistant Secretary David Kautter asking the threshold to be raised to $5, 000.
Similar came up in May 2020 after Trump signed an executive order calling for federal agencies to depart from a policy that would hamper the country’s recovery efforts from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Adeeb Alshalaf grew up in the neighborhood of Baba Amr in Homs, a neighborhood of both rural and urban character since it had been part of the countryside before it was administratively added to the city of Homs after urban expansion.
Adeeb was influenced by his father, a senior army officer and director of the Military Academy, who urged him to enroll in the academy in 1982 and later join the Ministry of Interior.
Adeeb graduated as a police officer after studying for three years at the Military Academy followed by six months at the Police Academy.
“Sectarianism was strongly prevalent in the Military Academy. About 90% of the students were Alawites, most of whom joined the Ministry of Defense as army officers, and we formed friendships with them that lasted for many years,” says Adeeb.
“From the 1980s until the mid-1990s, the Ministry of Interior was considered a Sunni ministry, and most of its officers and the Minister of Interior were Sunni. However, the situation changed in the mid-1990s, when Alawite officers outumbered Sunnis,” he adds.
In 1986, Adeeb was appointed to the Criminal Investigation Department within the Criminal Security Branch in Homs, a department specialized in detecting all types of crimes, especially unsolved ones. He then moved to the Anti-Narcotics Department, which he headed for five years until 1996.
“Fortunately, organized crime did not exist in Syria before 2011,” says Adeeb. “If that kind of crime had occurred, we would have definitely failed to fight against it because we did not have the necessary means, such as advanced criminal or judicial evidence.”
“For example, during my entire term of service in the police, we were unable to detect a single crime by means of fingerprinting because of the primitive tools used,” he adds. “24 hours after a crime was committed, the expert would say that fingerprints could no longer be collected.”
In the 1990s, drug abuse was rare in Syria. For instance, in 1991, the rate of drug abuse was less than one per thousand, despite Syria being geographically close to Lebanon, a producer of hashish. In the same period, Adeeb was assigned to participate in a training course in the Republic of Egypt and was surprised to learn that the rate of drug abuse in Egypt was 50%.
“On the other hand, the biggest dealers of Captagon pills in the Middle East were Syrian since Syria was a transit country for trucks heading from Turkey and Lebanon to the Gulf states,” said Adeeb. "These dealers were protected by high-ranking officials in the Syrian state.”
The Anti-Narcotics Department could not detect these drug shipments, even if suspicious trucks were inspected. It was very difficult to locate the goods in the truck, unless the entire structure of the truck was cut open, or the exact location of the goods was identified by the detective.
“Drug dealers worked with senior State officials, especially intelligence officers. On one occasion, I was threatened by the Head of the Political Security Branch just for calling a person known for smuggling drugs,” Adeeb says. “If a dealer was caught red-handed, everyone sidestepped and denied any knowledge.”
In 1996, Adeeb was transferred to the city of al-Qatifa in the countryside of Damascus because he refused to succumb to pressure by the Political Security and release criminals arrested for drug abuse.
The Political Security Directorate was considered responsible for the security of the Police Force, and the two organizations were supposed to be under the Ministry of Interior. However, the Minister of Interior had no power over the Head of the Political Security Directorate, who was always appointed by the Alawite community.
“Branches of political security were found in all governorates, and its members were responsible for writing malicious reports against police officers who did not obey their orders,” says Adeeb.
Adeeb believes that the most important reasons for the corruption of police officers were their low salaries compared to the cost of living, and the Political Security’s control of them. Police officers used to pay off Political Security officers so that they would leave them alone.
Adeeb was promoted until he reached the rank of Colonel. He moved from al-Qatifa to the largest police station in Syria, in the Mezzeh municipality of Damascus. He oversaw important neighborhoods inhabited mostly by State officials, such as the Mezzeh Autostrade, Mezzeh Villas and Mezzeh 86, a popular area that was one of the most difficult to work in. Adeeb says, “Mezzeh 86 was a slum area with the majority of its population belonging to the Alawite community and the Republican Guard. Many problems prevailed, such as theft, drug abuse, prostitution and robbery. Most of those involved were former members of Rifaat al-Assad's Defense Brigades or members who had been expelled from the Republican Guard.”
“The Presidential Palace, the Minister of Interior, and even the Prime Minister could have interfered with any problem referred to the Mezzeh department,” says Adeeb. “So, I tried to implement the law and immediately present the public defender with the reports to avoid pressure and mediation.”
Adeeb served as Head of the Works Division in the Administrative Branch in the Damascus countryside from 2007 till 2009. He then enrolled in the senior leadership course and was promoted to the rank of Senior Colonel in conjunction with his appointment as Head of al-Tabqa district in the Raqqa Governorate in 2009.


Reach Subsea Orders Two Unmanned Vessels for ROV Services
Subsea services company Reach Subsea has signed a contract for the construction of two unmanned vessels for subsea services, which will be among the first ships of their kind.
Kongsberg Maritime will implement the project and deliver two purpose-built unmanned vessels, each capable of supporting underwater ROVs by supplying a power, data centers and comms platform at sea. Both the surface vessels and the ROVs will be operated remotely from a shoreside control station, removing the need for habitation spaces on board the vessel itself.
“We are happy and proud to achieve this important milestone for the Reach Remote project, which will be a gamechanger for the industry and for us. Reach Remote will enable 20-30 percent reduced cost for clients and 90-100 percent reduction in emissions compared to today’s large, manned control vessels,” said CEO of Reach Subsea, Jostein Alendal.
The "Reach Remote" project is a joint effort between Reach Subsea, its part-owner Wilhelmsen, the Wilhelmsen/Kongsberg joint venture Massterly, and Kongsberg Maritime. Wilhelmsen is a leading investor in vessel-autonomy technology, and through Massterly, it has had a hand in some of the most high-profile autonomous-ship projects in recent years.
The cost was disclosed, and it comes to a total of roughly $45 million for both vessels and associated shoreside infrastructure. The delivery of the first two units is expected in 2023.
"We see firm demand from the traditional oil and gas segments combined with rapidly growing emerging market segments like renewable energy. The interest in Reach Remote is strong in all parts of our global network of customers,” said Jostein Alendal.
The concept is roughly comparable to Ocean Infinity's Armada project, which is also developing autonomous USVs to host and deploy AUV and ROV survey assets without onboard crew. The first Armada vessels are under construction at GMV shipyard in Norway and Vard's yard in Vietnam.

It has become tradition. Every year, in July, the investment bank Allen & Company performs the Sun Valley conference, in the homonymous city of the USA an event popularly known as "the camp of the powerful millionaires". And every year, since 2011, Tim Cook and Eddy Cue are present at the event. This time, it couldn't be different.
Photos posted on social networks show the CEO and senior vice president of software and services for Apple's Internet circulating in the conference space. Other event attendees include the tycoon Rupert Murdoch (Fox), Jeff Bezos (Amazon), Sundar Pichai (Google) and Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook).
As usual, the themes of the lectures and conversations held at the event are not revealed, but it is known that Sun Valley is a fertile ground for agreements and businesses of all kinds; There, the first negotiations for the acquisition of Yahoo by Verizon, the Washington Post by Jeff Bezos and ABC by Disney, for example, arose.
Considering that the conference also receives important names from Hollywood and the world of the arts, it should come as no surprise if the coming months come with a lot of news for the service of streaming of Apple videos. We hope they are good!

Belgium face Canada, Japan stun Germany, Spain thrash Costa Rica
Main the Belgian assault within the absence of injured talisman Romelu Lukaku, Batshuayi scored in opposition to the run of play on the stroke of half-time to place the Purple Devils prime of Group F forward of Morocco and Croatia who earlier drew 0-0.
Of their solely different World Cup look in Mexico in 1986, Canada misplaced all three matches and failed to attain a purpose.
They appeared as if they might register their lengthy awaited first purpose when Belgium’s Yannick Carrasco dealt with the ball within the eleventh minute and Alphonso Davies stepped as much as take the penalty with the Canadian supporters roaring.
However Courtois, one of many world’s finest goalkeepers, denied Davies an historic rating by stopping his weak spot-kick.
The Canadian assault continued to press, their velocity creating havoc within the Belgian defence and conserving Courtois busy all through the primary half.
However in opposition to the run of play Belgium took the lead when Batshuayi broke between two defenders, ran on to a protracted ball and shot previous goalkeeper Milan Borjan within the forty fourth minute.
Canada coach John Herdman mentioned his males would deliver a nothing-to-lose strategy to their opening recreation in opposition to the second-ranked Belgians who arrived in Qatar saddled with the burden of expectation.

From SHAMIM AHMED RIZVI,
Jan 27 - Feb 02, 2003
The boom in the markets in Pakistan is the subject of discussion of all economic forums and business houses.
Seen in the international context it is a rare phenomenon. KSE registered unprecedented rise of 112 percent during 2002 and is still climbing while almost all the world markets have been hit by worst slum during this period. Except for Colombo, which managed a gain of 36 per cent, all market across the world had hit the floor during 2002. The European bourses and US Dow Jones plunged to their seven years low. As against this Pakistan's stock market is bashing in the limelight due to unprecedented rise in the index in recent months. The KSE has started 2003 on a refreshing note.
Commentators across the country are trying to establish a link to the factors and perhaps even the institutions/"people" responsible for this phenomenal growth. While some attribute this to surplus liquidity, interest rate rationalization and overall reforms, others talk of regulatory framework or even a mere bubble. But can an institution alone take credit for the performance of the market? And if so, would this institution also accept the responsibility when the boom period ends and the bears take charge?
At this time of hope and skepticism from various commentators trying to develop casual linkages for the exceptional performance of the stock market, perhaps the most significant comments would be of the Chairman of the capital market watchdog. PAGE approached Khalid A. Mirza, Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan, who has never, in any of his public utterances, acclaimed credit for the market rise, to comment on his opinion of the factors responsible for the stock market performance over the past 6-8 months and who should take credit for it.
He commented as follows while talking to this correspondent in his office in Islamabad.
Over the past three years, the SEC has been taking measures to restore the confidence of investors in the capital market. The nominal rise and fall of stock markets is not something of a major concern to regulators — the job of the regulator is to ensure that there's no foul play and there are no systemic crises and that is what the SEC has been focusing on. Therefore, I can only comment on the reasons for the rise in investor confidence; not attribute factors to the rise in the stock market.
In our considered view, the major reason for this enhanced level of investor confidence in the stock market appears to be the implementation of structural reforms focused on governance, transparency and efficiency of the market. It is the market perception that attracts investors. Furthermore, the macroeconomic reforms of the government have created a backdrop for these reforms which have been supported by higher levels of liquidity, macro-economic stability and interest rate rationalization.
However, the market rise, which seems to be the question on everyone's mind, is more of a sentiment than fundamentals. It always takes a futuristic view.
WHO SHOULD TAKE CREDIT?
Before answering this question, I would like to make one thing unequivocally clear. The SEC does not, repeat not, take any credit whatsoever for the rise in the market. We have never taken any credit for this nor will we ever do so! No regulator should claim any influence over market movements, direct or indirect. It would be stupid for us to suggest that regulatory actions or measures on reforms have carved the market to go up. Anyone who says that we have ever claimed credit for this is either a liar or totally diabolical.
Furthermore, in the opinion of the SEC, no institution, especially the government or SEC, can or should take credit for the improved performance of the market. There could be a number of factors for market rise. Markets go up and down — that is natural. What is imperative though, is for the regulator — the SEC, to ensure that the market functions in a smooth and transparent manner. The SEC is vigilantly observing the market and is pleased to see that the regulatory mechanisms put in place are working towards minimizing elements of systemic risk and other possible defaults.

Fantasy football season is getting closer and closer. Every year millions of people play fantasy and with that comes the prep work to make sure that every draft is one that can produce a champion. This article will go through and show what happened in an ESPN 2022 fantasy football mock draft and analyze the results. This is for a 10-team, standard-scoring league. Here is the 2022 fantasy football mock draft: July edition.
Roster: QB Tom Brady, RB Derrick Henry, RB Saquon Barkley, WR Mike Evans, WR Jaylen Waddle, TE Dawson Knox, RB Josh Jacobs, D/ST Cowboys, K Graham Gano, WR Amon-Ra St. Brown, WR Hunter Renfrow, WR Brandon Aiyuk, RB Rhamondre Stevenson, RB Michael Carter, RB Raheem Mostert, WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling
Team 1 has a solid roster if the running backs can stay healthy. Over the last few years, Henry, Barkley and Jacobs all have had injury issues. What makes it worse is that there is not anyone else on the roster who gets a majority of the workload out of the backfield on the roster. This team can make the playoffs, as they are great in other positions, but running back health is the big question mark.
Roster: QB Lamar Jackson, RB Jonathan Taylor, RB Leonard Fournette, WR CeeDee Lamb, WR Terry McLaurin, TE George Kittle, WR Michael Pittman Jr., D/ST 49ers, K Matt Prater, WR Devonta Smith, WR Drake London, WR Kadarius Toney, RB Ken Walker III, WR Tyler Boyd, RB James Cook, WR Robby Anderson
Team 2 has some star power with Lamar Jackson and Jonathan Taylor. The receivers and tight end are solid. Running back depth is an issue, especially if Leonard Fournette doesn’t get into shape. One of this team’s rookie running backs needs to work out for this team to be successful.
Roster: QB Josh Allen, RB David Montgomery, RB Antonio Gibson, WR Justin Jefferson, WR Mike Williams, TE T.J. Hockenson, WR Jerry Jeudy, D/ST Buccaneers, K Nick Folk, WR Darnell Mooney, WR Michael Thomas, WR Chris Olave, QB Matthew Stafford, WR Kenny Golladay, TE Hunter Henry, TE Irv Smith Jr.
Team 3 is loaded at wide receiver, but it is because they completely ignored the running back position after their first two. This team went on auto draft and will have to pay the consequences.
Roster: QB Kyler Murray, RB Austin Ekeler, RB J.K. Dobbins, WR Stefon Diggs, WR Gabriel Davis, TE Mark Andrews, RB A.J. Dillon, D/ST Saints, K Brandon McManus, WR Adam Thielen, RB Tony Pollard, TE Dallas Goedert, WR Russell Gage, RB Ronald Jones II, WR Jahan Dotson, TE Noah Fant
Team 4 has a solid starting lineup and at least one good wide receiver and running back on the bench. On top of that, they have one of the best tight ends in Mark Andrews. If Dobbins returns from his injury well and Davis lives up to the hype the team can make the playoffs.
Roster: QB Trey Lance, RB James Conner, RB Breece Hall, WR Cooper Kupp, WR Tyreek Hill, TE Darren Waller, RB Elijah Mitchell, D/ST Ravens, K Daniel Carlson, RB Cordarelle Patterson, WR DeAndre Hopkins, RB Kareem Hunt, WR Christian Kirk, WR Jakobi Myers, TE Pat Freiermuth, TE Tyler Higbee
Trey Lance is a huge risk at the quarterback position, but if it pays off, this team can win. The running back depth is good, while the wide receivers on the roster have star power. The team hinges on Lance’s play this season.
Roster: QB Dak Prescott, RB Christian McCaffrey, RB Nick Chubb, WR Diontae Johnson, WR Brandin Cooks, TE Kyle Pitts, RB Ezekiel Elliott, D/ST Steelers, K Evan McPherson, WR Elijah Moore, WR Rashod Bateman, RB Chase Edmonds, RB Melvin Gordon III, WR Skyy Moore, RB Marlon Mack, WR Marvin Jones Jr.
Team 6 is loaded at running back, as long as McCaffrey can stay healthy. The wide receiver position is very weak and could cost this team. Johnson’s production could be in question, as he has a new quarterback. Cooks is always solid, but likely won’t be a league-winner. This team needs to trade running backs for more impactful wide receivers.
Roster: QB Jalen Hurts, RB Joe Mixon, RB Alvin Kamara, WR Tee Higgins, WR A.J. Brown, TE Cole Kmet, WR Courtland Sutton, D/ST Colts, K Tyler Bass, RB Travis Etienne Jr., WR Allen Robinson, RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire, WR Chase Claypool, RB James Robinson, WR Allen Lazard, WR Mecole Hardman
This team is largely dependent on the Bengals and Eagles having good offenses. The talent and depth are there on this roster, but having a top wide receiver is a question.
Roster: QB Patrick Mahomes, RB Javonte Williams, RB Miles Sanders, WR Ja’Marr Chase, WR Deebo Samuel, TE Dalton Schultz, WR D.J. Moore, D/ST Commanders, K Harrison Butker, WR Tyler Lockett, WR Treylon Burks, WR Garrett Wilson, QB Derek Carr, WR Jarvis Landry, TE David Njoku, WR Jameson Williams
Unless this team can trade some of their rookie wide receivers for a running back, they will struggle. Another autodraft team destined to fail.
Roster: QB Justin Herbert, RB Najee Harris, RB D’Andre Swift, WR Keenan Allen, WR Marquise Brown, TE Mike Gesicki, RB Aaron Jones, D/ST Packers, K Matt Gay, WR Chris Godwin, RB Devin Singletary, QB Aaron Rodgers, QB Russell Wilson, TE Zach Ertz, QB Kirk Cousins, RB Dameon Pierce
Before this team went off rails with the quarterback selections, it was actually built pretty well. There are three great running backs three solid receivers and a star young quarterback. Depth is an issue, but the starting lineup is quality.
Roster: QB Joe Burrow, RB Dalvin Cook, RB Cam Akers, WR Davante Adams, WR DK Metcalf, TE Travis Kelce, WR Amari Cooper, D/ST Bills, K Justin Tucker, WR JuJu Smith-Schuster, RB Damien Harris, RB Rashaad Penny, WR Robert Woods, WR Christian Watson, WR DeVante Parker, RB Alexander Mattison
Team 10 has a shot to win the championship. Not only do they have a top-tier running back and wide receiver, they also have Kelce at tight end. The depth is solid and they should be able to win plenty of games.

An extraordinary gathering of world religious leaders -- Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Sikh and Buddhist -- will assemble at the Vatican in mid-November to affirm the complementary roles of men and women in marriage.
Faith leaders representing 14 faith traditions from 23 countries will participate in the three-day event, Nov. 17-19, that will open with remarks from Pope Francis, who last year said, “It is very important to reaffirm the family, which remains the essential cell of society.”
The website for the event, titled Humanum: An International Interreligious Colloquium on The Complementarity of Man and Woman, said speakers “will draw from the wisdom of their religious tradition and cultural experience as they attest to the power and vitality of the complementary union of man and woman.”
The conference comes amid a continuing global debate over same-sex marriage and the role of marriage in society. An October decision by the Supreme Court of the United States paved the way for a number of states to issue marriage licenses for same-sex couples.
‘A positive direction’
Helen Alvaré, a family law professor at George Mason University in Arlington, Virginia, said Cardinal Gerhard Müller presented the idea for the upcoming conference to Pope Francis a year ago.
“Considering that you can look at the law, the culture, the news coming out of almost any country, and marriage is experiencing considerable difficulty, this (conference) is a good start,” Alvaré said. “There’s a lot of conversation in the world and the media about men and women, but not a lot to enlighten and support.”
Alvaré said much of that conversation is “sensational,” as opposed to “helping billions of people to find their way to the institution that becomes a make-or-break component of happiness for themselves and their communities.”
She hopes the Vatican event “will move people in a positive direction.”
In addition to 30 presentations by various faith leaders, the colloquium will include the premiere of six short films about men and women and marriage around the world, including “The Destiny of Humanity: On the Meaning of Marriage” and “A Hidden Sweetness: The Power of Marriage Against Hardship.”
Archbishop Charles Chaput, who heads the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, will make a presentation on the 2015 World Meeting of Families, a Catholic event, scheduled Sept. 22-27 there.
The colloquium will close with the presentation of a declaration on marriage, organizers said.
Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks, former chief rabbi of the United Kingdom, will make a presentation. Dr. Janne Haaland Matláry, the former secretary of state of Norway, will give a presentation titled, “The Family -- Still the Basic Unit of Society.”
Also presenting will be President Henry B. Eyring, first counselor in the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, who will be accompanied by Elder L. Tom Perry of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and Bishop Gérald Caussé of the Presiding Bishopric, according to an LDS Church news release.
Other speakers will include the Rev. Russell D. Moore, president of the Southern Baptist Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission. He wrote about the conference Monday on his blog.
“I am willing to go anywhere, when asked, to bear witness to what we as evangelical Protestants believe about marriage and the gospel, especially in times in which marriage is culturally imperiled,” he wrote.
Moore also wrote that he “has been charitably (I hope) critical of Pope Francis,” including last month during the widely publicized Vatican Synod on the Family, held Oct. 5-19.
That conference sparked media reports that the Catholic Church was softening its teachings on gays and lesbians, but the final synod report pulled back on that language.
The Rev. Rick Warren, author of “The Purpose Driven Life” and senior pastor of Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California, is expected to present at the event.
Warren urged last month’s Synod on the Family to defend traditional marriage, in an open letter to Pope Francis also signed by 47 other Christian ministers and scholars.
One suggestion in that letter was to support efforts to “restore legal provisions that protect marriage as a conjugal union of one man and one woman.”
Another American participant in the upcoming Vatican event said he hopes the conference will help change the tone of discussions about the nature of marriage and the male-female relationship.
Supporters of marriage from different faith traditions “are talking past each other in some ways,” said Luis Tellez, president of the Witherspoon Institute in Princeton, New Jersey, “but we need to pay attention to what each one brings to the table, and this has been lost in the conversation we have been having in recent times.”

I chose The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn as a book for my report because this title caught my attention. I have never read other books from this author, Mark Twain, and nobody recommended it to me. I only picked up this book because of the topic: adventures. Adventures histories always interest me because they frequently have exciting parts such as try to safe someone, putting the main character in risk of life.
2. The history happened probably before 1860s because one of the characters, Jim, is a slave. The history begins in the Widow Douglas' house, the woman that is in charge of the main character, follow in the Pap's house – father main character's house, but the most scenes is on the river, in a canoe or raft. It ends at the Aunt Sally's house.
3. The main character is called by Huckleberry Finn, or just Huck Finn. He is a young boy with blond hair. Huck does not have mother, only father who is too rude with his son. So, Huck learned to be impolite. He always appears without shoes and getting in troubles. In spite of this, he is smart and always know how to scape from a problem. I liked this person because despite he looks like a bad boy, he has a good heart. For example, when he saw two adults trying stolen money from a girl, he helped this girl. So, for me, he just dislike live in polite ways that the society said that is right, he prefers the freedom. .
4. This book is about the adventures of a young boy called by Huck Finn. This character lives with Widow Douglas who tries to teach him good manners. It is not a kind of thing that he likes, so he plans run away from her house. But, before he does it, his father arrived in the town and gets him to his place. Huck had $6.000 that he found in a cave, and his father (Pap) wanted this money. When Pap figured out that his son did not have more the money, he started to hit Huck, locked him in a room and leave him there more than one day alone.

Government has deferred the setting up of safe homes for gender based violence victims to next year owing to lack of funds.
The country only has five safe homes, which are inadequate to provide temporary shelter to gender based violence victims, whose numbers continue to increase each day.
Although the Minister of Women Affairs, Gender and Community Development, Cde Oppah Muchinguri conceded in November that the provision of safe homes was a long standing programme that her ministry needed to urgently work on, however, the project might not take off sooner than expected, owing to lack of funds.
"It has also been Government's wish to build shelter homes for the up-keep of sexual and gender based violence victims, so that we can lessen the burden on the civil society.
"However, we have not able to achieve the goal because the money has not been enough to cut across all our needs," she was recently quoted.
The ministry's budgetary allocation from the treasury increased by six percent from last year's US$10,1 million to this year's US$10,8 million. However, the increased funding will not be enough to cater for the setting up of safe homes, after it emerged that several programmes within the ministry that needed urgent attention did not get adequate funding.
Funding for gender mainstreaming – a crucial project within the ministry – was cut by 50 percent, while Treasury also reduced its allocation towards the Women's Development Fund, aimed at funding women's projects across the country.
What this effectively means is that the country will continue relying on the five safe homes, against a backdrop of spiralling gender based cases involving women and children.
A safe house is temporary accommodation that is provided by organisations like the Msasa Project to house victims of sexual and gender based violence while they are waiting for their cases to be dealt with either with the police or other institutions.
Speaking during the launch of a national rape campaign in Harare in December last year, the director of Musasa Project, Mrs Netty Musanhu highlighted the serious challenges of accommodating victims of gender based violence, particularly those who were often stalked by their partners before their cases could go to court.
"We are calling on the Government and other partners to assist us in setting up safe houses for the increased numbers of gender based violence victims.
"More often than not, we are often overwhelmed by the number of abused women, who visit our offices, seeking assistance," she said.
The safe house concept is based on the premise that effective work against sexual and gender-based violence cannot be achieved without providing support and protection for survivors or victims of violence, who may experience all forms of abuse from their perpetrators before they have had time to heal.
Safe homes that are spouted in nondescript but different neighbourhoods across Zimbabwe have proved to be welcoming places for women and their children, who often arrive battered and with nothing but the clothes on their backs.
While the services offered at each safe home may vary from each safe home depending on the available resources, several of them offer a holistic approach that includes shelter, health care, food, group counselling, clothes for survivors of violence and their children.
They also offer self-defence and life skills and sometimes professional training in different fields.

Australians still have confidence in cattle farmers and their products despite the Indonesian export controversy, Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA) says.
Exports to Indonesia were suspended in June after video footage screened on the ABC's Four Corners program revealed cruel slaughtering practices in some Indonesian abattoirs.
Since the ban was lifted in early July, only Elders and Austrex have been granted export permits under a new regulatory framework.
The first load of cattle was exported on Wednesday out of Darwin.
MLA's managing director Scott Hansen said the ban had had little impact on how Australians perceive the industry.
He said an independent survey commissioned by MLA on July 1, 2010 found 65 per cent of Australians thought cattle producers were trustworthy.
Exactly one year later, and three weeks after the footage was aired, that number had risen to 70 per cent.
Meanwhile in 2010, 57 per cent of those surveyed thought positively about Australian beef, and that had increased to 65 per cent this year.
"Producers had not lost the trust of the Australian public," Mr Hansen told a breakfast hosted by the Rural Press Club.
He said the new regulatory framework imposed by the federal government meant exporters had to be transparent about their supply chain in Indonesia.
He said the new arrangements would protect the industry from future across-the-board shutdowns.
"It should enable those that are good performers ... to continue to go about their business without political interference, while those who aren't able to meet those required standards will continue to face repercussions and political interference," he said.
"That is more secure footing we should find ourselves on."

Welcome to this week's Readings & Viewings, a collection of news, analysis and other interesting snippets we've spotted from around the world during the latest week for your reading pleasure.
In what was going to be the first meeting between a US president and North Korean leader in history, the week was rounded out with Donald Trump cancelling the meeting and (of course) publishing his 'break-up' letter to Kim Jong-un on Twitter. According to North Korean officials, the State is still willing to meet at "anytime and in any format". It'll be interesting how this plays out in the coming months.
Geopolitical tensions and spiking bond yields are just two of the reasons some investors are growing nervous about share markets. Long-dated US bonds have been in a bull market since the early 1980s, propping up equities because of the lower cost of capital for companies. This could all change, and quite quickly at that.
But some sectors actually tend to benefit from rising bond yields.
And, as investment bank Macquarie basically points out, rising yields are all relative anyway (see Figure 6) — big spikes in the US 10-year have been commonplace over the last 40-odd years, many having little bearing on share markets.
Company budgets certainly seem to suggest things are still going ok. Citi's latest review of nearly 780 non-financial publicly-listed US companies showed that six of the nine sectors registered higher budgets than three months ago. Companies in the IT sector (home of the FAANGs) have flagged the biggest budget uptick overall, but those in the business of materials, consumer discretionary and utilities are also looking to meaningful increase their capital expenditure too.
All systems go?
If you're in Victoria, QLD or NSW, it may look that way.
Over the March quarter, construction work done across Australia rose 0.2 per cent – the fifth gain in six quarters. A caveat though, construction for the public sector rose 2.7 per cent, while private sector construction declined by 0.5 per cent.
That said, if you're seeing a lot of cranes overhead, Victorian construction is at record highs – up 6.5 per cent on the quarter – and QLD and NSW is looking good too. On the contrary, construction fell in every other state or territory over the same period.
Regardless of where you are though, you're probably not going to be happy at the petrol bowser. CommSec also reveals the key petrol benchmark for Australia, the Singapore gasoline benchmark price, is holding at a 3.5 year-high of $US91.7 per barrel.
Speaking of high prices, if you're interested in alternatives you might be curious to find out where the former Malaysian Prime Minister's wife hedges her bets – Hermès Birkin bags.
Mansor's 248 Birkin boxes have been seized by police as they are currently investigating the recently ousted PM for misusing government funds. If Rosmah did manage to retrieve the boxes, she'd certainly be sitting pretty for retirement. Birkins have outperformed gold and S&P 500 stocks for the last 37 years.
Some of us wouldn't mind getting our hands on those Birkins (or these gold chicken wings, even if that's taking fine cuisine to a whole new level).
We also wouldn't have minded getting our hands on these watches before they were (selfishly) destroyed. Richemont, the owner of Cartier, told the market this week it destroyed around $US539 million of its own watches, for a seemingly ridiculous reason. One has to ask, is this just an accounting measure?
It's a problem that Tiffany, another staple on the high street, seems unlikely to run into anytime soon. The luxury retailer's sales and profits topped forecasts, rising a shiny 23 per cent on Wednesday.
Big money. Comcast reckons it will trump Disney's $US52.4 billion stock bid for 21st Century Fox, and fellow media maven Sony has purchased EMI Music, but there's no Thriller in this story. And Netflix probably isn't fazed by these games being played.
For the first time in its 226-year history, a female will take the top spot.on the New York Stock Exchange. The appointment of Stacey Cunningham means that two Wall Street exchanges are now headed up by women – In January 2017, Adena Friedman became the Nasdaq CEO. In a similar move, cosmetics brand, Revlon Inc has, for the first time also appointed the female CEO.
Youth unemployment, and underemployment, is a problem in Australia. But in America? A student loan crisis seems to be brewing because of it. The trend suggests nearly 40 per cent of the 2004 entry cohort may default on their student loans by 2023. And it turns out it's going to be a much bigger problem for female graduates. According to the American Association for University Women, on average, female bachelor's degree recipients graduated with $US2700 more debt than their male counterparts in 2016.
It probably doesn't help that jobs are being automated.
Although IBM is picking up some slack, and hiring into artificial intelligence departments of all places. IBM announced it will hire 1800 people to focus on blockchain and AI.
We need people to iron out these wayward algorithms. Amazon is under fire for its very secretive facial recognition program, which involves the City of Orlando in Florida. These programs are far from perfect, with particularly high error rates for women and people of colour.
On that note of automation and Amazon, did you know the company actually pays employees to leave? However, there is a catch – if you take the offer, you can never work for the company again.
Electric cars are so passé. This week a Boeing-backed startup announced plans to deliver its first hybrid electric aeroplane in 2022. Good news for those in the aviation business, especially considering jet fuel prices have climbed 15 per cent already this year, according to S&P Global Platts.
He probably hadn't gotten around to reading Consumer Reports, which found "big flaws" with Model 3's performance compared to other vehicles in the same league. Speaking of electric vehicles, The Atlantic published an interesting think-piece on the culture of ‘bird hunting' – no, not hunting birds, hunting electric scooters in Los Angeles.
It's unlikely to start selling Birds, but General Electric is still trying to engineer a major makeover. The company is selling its century-old railroad business to Wabtec for around $US11 billion, the first big move since CEO John Flannery took the helm in August. While big tech companies are steadfast on remaining concentrated giants, GE is resorting to a different approach — breaking up its assets left, right and centre.
Meanwhile, in Europe, some drivers might be a little happier today after this news from Uber.
German stock exchange Deutsche Boerse is considering offering crypto-related products. First things first though, the company is trying to understand the space first, and where it stands in the eyes of European regulators.
And a record number of Brits are taking up German citizenship.
Don't get caught in the Beanie Babies trap. Here's a case study in manipulating the mechanisms of supply and demand. After skyrocketing into the hundreds of thousands, driven by scarcity, sales declined by more than 90 per cent. By the early 2000s, the soft toys were worth just 1 per cent of their original sale price – leading several to become ‘bankrupt by beanies'.
This doesn't bode well for bitcoin. The immediate fallout?
Since then the cryptocurrency has gone back up — we think bitcoin just needs a bit of adult supervision.
Let's finish with a fun fact. On May 22, 2010, a programmer and early adapter of bitcoin, Laszlo Hayecz, brought two Papa John's pizzas for 10,000 bitcoins, worth around $30 back then. Fair enough. This order was considered the first purchase of a product with the cryptocurrency. Right now, that same order would have cost him a few million for a slice. It all sounds absurd, right?
Find yourself some cheap pizza, and enjoy your weekend.
Ps. A Federal Court has ruled that Trump can't block anyone on Twitter anymore — go nuts.

EcoGro supports the Aquaponics community. You can raise fish and edible plants on your own organically and economically. We provide the equipment and supplies necessary to construct and maintain your own aquaponics system.
Aquaponics is a sustainable food production system that combines the growing of fish and plants together in a closed recirculating system.
The fish are housed and fed in an appropriate tank and the water is circulated to growing areas for a very diverse crop of vegetables, herbs, flowers and other plants.
The plants, helped by beneficial bacteria, effectively clean the water by utilizing the nutrients excreted by the fish and the clean water is then recirculated to the fish.
Very little land area, water or electricity is required to operate an aquaponics system.
Research indicates that:
Aquaponics uses a small fraction of the water than traditional farming does.
Aquaponics is energy-efficient: current systems use one-tenth of the energy conventional farming does.
Aquaponics has eight to ten times more vegetable production in the same area and time.
Aquaponics is fully scalable from indoor systems to backyard family systems to full commercial systems.
Aquaponics is pure, clean, and natural: systems can be USDA Certified Organic and Food Safety Certified.
Existing ponds (take note Koi pond people) are perfectly suited for Aquaponics since you can raise a vegetable or flower garden while cleaning and oxygenating the water for your fish.

3.89/5 rDev -2.5%
On tap at Pearl Street Grill and Brewery in Buffalo, NY.
Pours a fairly dark black, with a small half inch head, and a little bit of foamy lacing.
Smells like earthy roasted malt, some smoke, and a marginal amount of chocolate. Not the strongest smelling stout ever, but it is a session stout, not going to bowl me over here, I'd guess.
The taste is similar, and pretty solid. Tastes like a cross between an oatmeal stout and an Irish dry stout. A good amount of roasted malt, some chocolate, and the slightest wisp of smoke. Mildly and pleasantly bitter.
This one goes down incredibly easy, like a good low ABV stout should. Definitely tastes stronger than 4.5%, but drinks like it's 4.5%. Creamy, smooth mouthfeel, finishes dry.
An excellent session stout, could drink a few of those easily.

Pours jet black with a light tan film for a head.
Smells of smokey mesquite, oats, cocoa, coffee, and a hint of vanilla.
Flavor has a mesquite flavor at first, followed by some oatmeal and vanilla with a hint of cocoa.
Medium body with a tingle of carbonation on the tongue.
Pretty nice slightly smokey stout with good flavor and aroma, worth trying for sure.

3.93/5 rDev -1.5%
Second lunch pint, which I enjoyed with the molten lava cake for dessert. Definitely the right brew for the job.
Poured into a conical pint glass. Dark, nearly black, with a surprisingly thin head that receded into a fine little ring. Some lacing spots.
Sweet chocolate malt, roasted mild coffee, caramel and marshmallow to the nose.
A solid dry stout (though certainly a bit sweeter than I'm used to!) Caramel, chocolate, medium roast coffee, toasted bread, mild roasty bitter finish. Milder than some, but certainly enjoyable and above average for a brewpub offering. Creamy, but slightly thin.
A damned fine little brew, perfect to close off the meal. Well worth a try.

Transcribed from notes dtd Sa, 30 Oct 2010.
I began Day 2 of the General Sutter Cask Fest with a gravity-poured beer that did not produce much head. It was handed to me with a light, soapy, light-tan head with the lifespan of a fruit fly. Color was a deep dark-brown with ruby highlights. Nose was slightly smoky but with a dried dark fruit overlay, like raisins. Mouthfeel was slightly thin, but given the smokiness of the taste, I was willing to forgive almost anything. Finish lingered with a nice mix of smoke and dark fruit.

On tap at the brewery. Served in a pint glass.
A - Dark black with small amount of espresso coloured head
S - Somewhat weak nose. Some roasted malts with no other flavours present.
T - A nice roasted malt flavour with some chocolate. Somewhat sweet. A nice dry and slightly bitter finish.
M - Light to medium body. Lightly carbonated.
D - A nice stout. Definitely worthy of purchasing on my next visit

On-tap at the brewpub. Drier than their other stouts. Oatmeal is undetectable. Sourish finish. Aggressive carbonation. Very dark brown, with a bit of head and follow up lace. Forgettable really,abouut average mouthfeel. Drinkable, but comes up short which is par for the product line.

Pitch black in color with nice tension. Smells of roasted malts and molasses with good retention on the volume. A crisp sense of smoothness among the soothing flavors of coffee bean in toe. Loose in the mouthfeel department, goes down easy but without hurry. One of the best from this gentrified structure they call a brewery.

Essentially a renaming of the Canal Street Stout, so for more opinions look over there. Black body with a think tan coloured head. Mild roasted malt aroma with a touch of brown sugar and cream. The mildness extends to the flavour with all the aforementioned element showing up. Its quite nice but needs a bit extra to become top notch. Smooth, creamy mouthfeel and good drinkability.
Good, without being exceptional.

presented with a black ruby tinged pint with a cocoa colored head that left nice lacing
smell was all rich black coffee
taste was again big on the coffee but not so much bitter as the oats smoothed it out
mouthfeel was medium to full with a rich creaminess
drinkability this is like liquid breakfast and way too tasty to not have a few

Pours oil black with reddish tints and a nice dark brown head that fades fast. The smell is inviting, powerful roasted, sweet and chocolate notes, a nice malty aroma, with slight alcohol tones. The taste isn't as sweet as I thought I would be but still good. Starts sweet and roasted, finishes with a strong malt presence, with a roasted chocolate aftertaste. The mouthfeel is nice, very smooth, good carbonation, nice heavy stout. This one is a very easy drinking stout, the flavor isn't powerful to drive you away, but definitely delivers. Definitely worth checking out.

The beer pours a dark black color with a 1/2" tan head that slowly fades to lacing. The aroma is good. It has a dry, roasted malt scent that's quite earthy, yet has a bit of chocolate malt aroma as well. The taste is great. It has a smooth chocolate malt flavor that goes down easy and finishes dry with an earthy/coffee-like feel. The mouthfeel is good. It is a full bodied beer with adequate carobnation. This is a very enjoyable stout. It's complex in nature and drinks incredibly well.

Tried a 16oz. draft pint at the Pearl Street Brewery during a wedding rehearsal dinner.
A - Nice dark brown color with a thin light brownish head (the pouring seemed a little conservative).
S - smelled great with hints of coffee and some chocolate sweetness. Malt very present in the nose.
T - the taste left a little to be desired but it was good overall with hints of coffee, chocolate and some nuts.
M - very light for a stout. This was the only thing that turned me off about it
D - very drinkable in fact even thirst quenching

App.-very dark with a very light lace, barely a small dark head.
Sm.-Toffee and caramel smells come up from the warming smells.
Taste-Very rich in outmeal and caramel. served slightly warm, the way a good stout like this should be.
Mou.-Very palateable and a joy for your mouth to enjoy, from the time it touches your lips the the last drop.
Drnk.-Not a beer that you can really take more than a few sips of.
All in all a very good well rounded stout. If you really enjoy outmael stouts and are in the buffalo area pearl street is a must stop.

Why is this a “warm” gratitude list? Because I’m keeping warm, trying to feel better despite this viral infection; because when I think of these things, I get that lovely warm feeling in my heart – and because I hope that you’ll get a lovely warm fuzzy feeling reading it!
In this moment, I am grateful for:
- the fact that I am able to take today easy, to get well soon
- food in the fridge, tea in the pot and clean water from the taps
- central heating
- that my inner critic is behaving herself (perhaps I should be grateful that, despite feeling unwell, I am still practicing my inner critic appeasing methods!)
- that, despite feeling lousy, I can still find things to be happy about.

Russian cyber espionage against American political targets has dominated the news in recent months, intensifying last week with President Barack Obama’s announcement of sanctions against Russia.
Cyber espionage is, of course, nothing new. But using data collected in cyber espionage operations to interfere in the U.S. election process on behalf of one of the candidates — one who appears to be smitten with Russian President Vladimir Putin — is a brazen and unprecedented move that deserves a firm political response from the U.S. government on behalf of the public interest.
The expulsion of 35 Russian diplomats, the shutting down of two Russian-owned estates the US claims were used for intelligence activities, and the targeted financial sanctions on Russian individuals and organizations all show the Obama administration understands at least part of what such a firm response should entail.
Unfortunately, the White House was unable to produce the most critical part for the credibility of their action: that to be politically effective in today’s Internet age, such a response also needs to be backed up with solid evidence. Here, the administration failed miserably, but also predictably. And it’s not necessarily because it doesn’t have the evidence. Instead, the U.S. government simply failed to present it.
My latest piece is an analysis of the DHS/FBI report on Russian cyber espionage, published in Just Security. Read the entire piece here:

The United States has plenty of natural gas reserves trapped in shale formations around the country at a time when we desperately need clean energy resources to be more self-sufficient. Very convenient, but not without a flurry of controversy on the method of extraction — horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing.
Over the years there have been advances in horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing technologies, enabling safer and easier access to the natural gas that exists in the nation’s shale formations. If the public, businesses and the government can agree on a plan for responsible acquisition of these resources, our country will prosper economically and not be as dependant on outside energy sources.
Currently the EPA is working with states to help ensure that extraction is done properly and will not endanger the environment or public health. The EPA is working to set up additional rules and regulations for hydraulic fracturing to enhance current health and environmental safeguards. Simultaneously, the Department of the Interior is conducting a national study to better understand natural gas and shale gas extraction.
Some of the fears that arise when discussing drilling and fracking are:
• The withdrawal of large amounts of water used in drilling and hydraulic fracturing. Golf courses use more water to keep their grass green than fracking does.
• Contamination of underground sources of drinking water and surface waters resulting from spills, faulty well construction, or by other means. This scenario can be avoided by proper use of equipment by well-trained employees and enforcement of strict rules and regulations.
• Adverse impacts from discharges into surface waters or from disposal into underground injection wells. Underground injection wells are far below the water table and are sealed to avoid any discharges.
President Obama said early in his Presidency that his administration’s priority is to continue to expand safe and responsible domestic energy production. To that end, the Department of the Interior is tasked with creating what they call “commonsense updates” that “increase safety while also providing flexibility and facilitating coordination with states and tribes on Indian land.” Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell stated in May, “As we continue to offer millions of acres of America’s public lands for oil and gas development, it is important that the public has full confidence that the right safety and environmental protections are in place.”
The three main components of these safety regulations are:
1 – Operators must disclose the chemicals they use in hydraulic fracturing.
2 – Well-bore integrity is of the utmost importance in protecting groundwater from fluids used during fracking.
3 – Oil and gas operators must have a water management plan in case any handling fluids flow back to the surface.
What all of this boils down to is that both government and businesses need to work together to ensure that all hydraulic fracturing is done properly. The job needs to be meticulous to avoid contamination due to sloppy or poor quality work by the companies performing the hydraulic fracturing. This way our country will benefit from the jobs created and the self-sufficiency of having viable energy sources at home.
