Although technically March doesn’t start until tomorrow, my Breathe Journal does 4 week cycles which means technical the next cycle has begun. With that in mind, I thought it could do no harm to kick things off a little early. And the Breathe Journal makes you select what you are doing on a week by week basis, so here are the fun things I will focus on this week*:
- Picking out and listening to a fun audio book
- Go to the cinema (The Viceroy is out on Friday and I’d really like to see it)
- Lazy reading on the couch day
- Horse back riding on Sunday as always
- A massage – scheduled for Thursday
Tonight I have selected my fun audiobook. It is Engulfed by David Sedaris. I love David Sedaris ever since I heard him on NPR probably 15-20 years ago now. He holds a very special place in my heart too because he first lived with his partner in Paris and now they lived in London. I listened to him on the BBC one day talking about getting his Indefinite Leave to Remain and British Citizenship, just like I had done. It was, of course, hilarious but particularly poignant for myself and other immigrants.
Another special place David Sedaris holds in my heart is from around just after my dad died, and my mother and I didn’t want to go anywhere or do anything. Since it was close to Christmas, and we didn’t want to give presents because it was just too much that year, we peeled ourselves off the couch and forced ourselves to go to a theatrical performance. It was a two part performance. The second part was A Christmas Memory by Truman Capote. My mother wanted to see that in particular. She likes to watch sad things when she was sad. But it was the first part that spoke to me. It was SantaLand Diaries by David Sedaris. I had not heard his work in a long time and even though it wasn’t him performing it, I laughed for the first time with David during his epic battles as a Christmas elf. It pulled me from the shadows of my own mind in a way very little else could at that time. So, I salute you now Mr Sedaris for the time you pulled me away from the dark, by purchasing your audio book. May we have many good laughs together this week.


Sony Unveils PlayStation 5 Logo At CES 2020
Sony has been having a field day at the CES 2020
There was a lot of interest surrounding Sony’s presence at the CES 2020. Gaming enthusiasts all over the world were hoping for more news about the company’s upcoming PlayStation 5. Sony did not disappoint though as CES 2020 saw the unveiling of the logo for PlayStation 5. In addition, Sony also unveiled a new concept car in Vision-S.
The PlayStation 5 logo reveal from Sony came during a CES 2020 press conference where they also announced that Sony had sold more than 5 million PlayStation VR headsets since its launch in October 2016. Moreover, Sony also shared the news that it has sold 104 million PS4 units. The best-selling game console for Sony has been the PS2 which sold 158 million units.
The logo revealed by Sony is minimalistic and follows the same pattern as PS3 and PS4 logos. While there is not much official news about PlayStation 5, Sony has confirmed that it will support 8K graphics, ray tracing, super-fast SSDs, and PS4 backwards compatibility. In addition, the newest offering from Sony is expected to have an eight-core CPU and a custom GPU. There is no information as of yet about the design, release date, or price range of the PlayStation 5. In contrast, Microsoft’s Xbox X was unveiled at The Game Awards 2019.
However, Playstation Boss Jim Ryan has promised that more news regarding the PS5 will soon be forthcoming.
“There’s plenty to share about the PS5 in the months ahead. And we look forward to sharing more details, including the content that will showcase the platform and the future of gaming.”

This augmented reality (AR) mobile application integrates a 3D geological model of the Berlin area with groundwater flow and quality simulations to immerse the user into the geological subsurface.
It relies on the potential of AR to inform the public about the role and challenges of groundwater in an engaging and informative way. The application may be used anywhere in a table-top mode to access a holistic view of the Berlin area and individual sites of interest (e.g. specific drinking water wells, lithological structures), or location-based with site-specific information on aquifers and groundwater flow.
Groundwater and the drinking water extraction process are crucial but hidden components of the water cycle, and so can be difficult to assess, evaluate and communicate. Groundwater processes are typically shown using schematic visualisations, physical sandbox models or numerical models. This digital solution expands these traditional visualisations into spatial, interactive views combined with a strong narrative that appeals to a broad audience, ensured by user centric design.
Limitations of current practices
Virtual reality and AR tools are being increasingly developed in all kinds of disciplines, making it possible to “look inside” otherwise hidden structures and processes. In geosciences, available products include 3D data visualisations or the superimposition of interpolated information to surface views; however, no dedicated tool is available for groundwater visualisation. Most user-facing mobile applications by utility companies address consumption/ billing or provide general information on water quality or outlet location. This AR visualisation will go beyond the state-of-art by providing both a location-based look into underground processes, as well as an innovative table-top view that can be used anywhere.
The solution provides a new communication channel between utilities and citizens. The ability to run and visualise simulations goes beyond the static depiction of facts and figures, making it possible to interact with the public and assess its perception on drinking water sources.
It enables the visualisation of geology and groundwater and highlights its relevance as a drinking water resource and a “hidden part” of the water cycle.
The application can be used for multiple communication purposes (tourism, education, conflict management, discussion with environmental agencies, etc.), making geology and groundwater visible. In addition, the supporting visualisation can prove valuable in other professional areas as well, where situational awareness of inaccessible areas is key, e.g. in renaturalisation of polluted subsurface and underground bodies.
The solution will be deployed in Berlin at selected drinking water wells and will be available for general use via major application providers (e.g. Google Play Store, Apple App Store). It is used to communicate with the public on major local issues, for example highlighting excellent drinking water quality, fostering tap water consumption against bottled water and raising acceptance among citizens for necessary investments to tackle infrastructure challenges.

A Bumpy Ride As UW Works To Increase Native American Enrollment
Historically, many say the University of Wyoming has not been a supportive place for Native American students. In 2015, the UW Bookstore falsely accused several visiting Native American high schoolers of shoplifting during a recruitment visit. And a general lack of support has caused some tribal students like UW senior Mia Holt to feel unwelcome.
On Saturday the first ever Native American Student Summit wrapped up in hopes of solving that problem. The initiative brought over 30 Native American high school students to visit UW. Holt was a peer-mentor with the program.
“This experience is really good,” Holt said. “I wish the summer institute was here when I was in high school. It would have definitely helped me adjust to college life, and especially here at the University.”
Holt said she felt isolated and disconnected from her family and culture when she first started at UW. She said now she knows there are Native Americans on campus, but they weren’t as visible. And with a new American Indian Center opening soon on UW’s campus, Holt said now she feels more confident encouraging Native American kids to come to UW.
As a peer-mentor, she said, “We were just kind of like role models. We come to school here. We are getting our education and we wanted to show them you can do it. We’re doing it right now, so it’s not like we are trying to push them into something that we’re not even doing.”
However, the Laramie Boomerang reported that last Thursday, some of the institute’s students walked out of a play presented by the UW Theatre Department because it depicted derogatory images of Native Americans. Reinette Tendore, one of the summit coordinators, said the incident did not overshadow efforts by UW to welcome Native American students. Tendore said she's thankful to the Native American faculty and staff, as well President Laurie Nichols and her husband Dr. Tim Nichols, for spearheading efforts to be more inclusive of Native American students.

Thursday, August 16th, 2012
She sent me books, two a year, one for my birthday and one for Christmas, signed in her tidy handwriting, throughout my childhood and adolescence. I still have them all.
She was a librarian, a research librarian. She seemed to know everything, and if she didn’t know it, she could find it out for you.
She was head of the Bay Shore-Brightwaters Library on Long Island. She dedicated her life to that library and its community, and she was named a New York State Woman of Distinction for doing so.
She showed me New York City, as a kid and as a college student. When my brother and I were young, she showed us the architectural canyons of Manhattan, Radio City Music Hall, the Statue of Liberty from the Circle Line. When I was in college and obsessed with medieval history, she ran me into the Metropolitan Museum of Art so I could see the Unicorn Tapestries.
She was an Irish dynamo, small, dark-haired, bustling, organized and organizing, holding everything and everyone together.
She was a dear friend of my mom’s from college. Not a “blood relative”, but so much closer to me than many of the people I could claim as relatives.
I stayed with her and her gentle, ailing mother once as I was passing through New York on my way back to Germany. We ate dinner at the River Cafe, and as we sat there under the Brooklyn Bridge and peered at the glittering Manhattan skyline, I told her I had fallen in love with an Irish boy.
I last saw her in London several years ago. She finally got to meet my Irish boy, and we all went for lunch at the marvelous Mandarin Oriental. It was a sunny day, the restaurant was washed in light.
I spoke to her on the phone last year. Jeremy and I were in Brooklyn, she was in the hospital. She wasn’t taking visitors, but she was happy to hear from me, and I was happy to hear her voice, as vigorous and New York as ever.
I sent her flowers last week, because I didn’t know what else to do. I sent a note and told her I loved her and that Jeremy and I were thinking about her.
I thought I had shed all the tears there were to shed for her, until reading your loving remembrance. You are my very dearest girl…and you were her very special “Jessica”.

CoStar To Quadruple Richmond Office Campus With 750K SF Development
The move is a vote of confidence in the long-term future of office space by CoStar, which has stressed the importance of returning this year. The delta and then the omicron variants of the coronavirus have prompted companies to delay their return-to-office plans.
The new buildings are slated for development on a campus near the James River in Richmond and total 750K SF. The Washington, D.C.-based company is planning to centralize its tech, research, operations and sales functions in the buildings, which will be adjacent to its existing offices on Fifth Street. Altogether, the CoStar campus in Richmond will total about 1M SF.
The new buildings will include a 26-story LEED Platinum-targeted office tower and a six-story, mass timber multipurpose building as a hub for employee and community amenities, according to the company, which didn't specify when construction would start.
Plans for the campus include fitness and wellness amenities, conference space, an auditorium and 50K SF of green roof terraces, along with retail and restaurants. The campus will also sport more than 2.5 acres of outdoor green space.
CoStar CEO Andy Florance cited Virginia's business-friendly climate, under both the outgoing Democratic governor and the incoming Republican one, as a key consideration in the company's further commitment to Richmond.
“We look forward to bringing thousands of our colleagues from across the country and from around the world to Richmond for training, advanced research and collaborative product development,” Florance said in a statement.
CoStar has been keen to see its employees return to the office this year. As of midsummer, ahead of the delta variant, 85% of its employees had returned, both to its Richmond office and to D.C.
"We evacuated our offices last March because of a global pandemic, not because of an HR innovation that discovered that remote work was more productive," Florance told the Washington Business Journal.
CORRECTION, DEC. 17, 12:55 P.M. ET: A previous version of this story incorrectly referred to the Richmond, Virginia, development as CoStar’s headquarters. The story has been updated.

Kramers Ergot has always been a reflection of editor Sammy Harkham's current interests in comics past and future. So it is in this spirit, with this new volume, that he severs the anthology from many of the formal and stylistic elements with which it made its name.
Whereas past issues were oversize, colorful and filled with a variety of artists all designed to overwhelm the reader with raw power, Kramers Ergot 8 is a complete shift both aesthetically and physically. The size of the book is smaller, to encourage a more intimate reading of the material, and the content reflects a focus on substantial works from a small group of no more than a dozen artists who, rather than being aesthetically disparate, reflect a more specific and unified aesthetic space of discipline, sophistication and quiet power.
Among the contributors are Gary Panter, C.F., Kevin Huizenga, Ben Jones, Jason T. Miles, Sammy Harkham, Leon Sadler, Johnny Ryan, Dash Shaw & Frank Santoro, Ron Embleton & Frederic Mullally.
Packaged in clothbound covers designed by artist Robert Beatty, this is the essential comics title of the year.

English translation from Swedish by Raymond E. Johnson. A large number of Swedes came to Chicago in the 1880s to live in the model town of Pullman and to work in the factory that produced luxury sleeping cars. The two main themes of this book are: 1) Two families among a group of immigrants from the Nykyrke Parish in Sweden-how they adapted to a new life and culture and founded their Lutheran church; and 2) Railroad car magnate George M. Pullman, who built the factories and the town where the Swedes came to work and live, in this "social experiment." The immigrants' stories are told through a collection of letters from a young man who came to Pullman in the early days and faithfully chronicled his workdays, housing, and his amazement and fascination with the big city of Chicago. Another man whose family stayed in Sweden writes a charming account of his life growing up in a tiny village-the life the emigrants left behind. George M. Pullman is portrayed as a leading industrialist and entrepreneur in the early development of American railroads, contributing many technological advances in the industry, making the rapid expansion of the railroads and the city of Chicago possible. His paternalistic attitude, typical of the time, led to the great strike of 1894 and the failure of the social experiment. The town thrives today under private ownership, protected by historical landmark status. This book contains many vintage photos and illustrations; a supplemental list of several hundred names of Emigrants from Nykyrke Parish, 1850-1910 (including dates of immigration and places of origin), and a fullname index.

Breitbart Texas reviewed preliminary arrest data indicating some migrant demographics encountered in October have increased upwards of 9,000 percent when compared to October 2020. The documents were provided by a source within Customs and Border Protection (CBP) not authorized to speak to media.
CBP does not normally release these data and instead will combine migrant arrests of citizens outside Mexico and northern triangle Central American countries as “Other.”
In October, nearly 8,000 Brazilian nationals were arrested, a more than 4,000 percent increase over last October. More than 13,000 Venezuelan nationals were arrested representing a 9,000 percent increase over the same period. More than 9,000 Nicaraguans were encountered, marking an increase of 3,500 percent.
A total of 30,537 migrants were apprehended from these three countries in October. Nearly half were single adults. More than 15,000 were members of family units and less than 400 were unaccompanied minors.
As for the Venezuelan nationals, many moved to neighboring Colombia and other third countries before heading to the United States.
The Border Patrol is frequently encountering large groups from Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Brazil in rural West Texas. Groups nearly 200 have become the norm near Eagle Pass.
The spike in arrests of migrants from outside the Northern Triangle countries, according to the source, demonstrates the likelihood that pull factors caused by reduced deportations are having a greater influence than problems in home countries.
The source says the increase in migrant arrests from Venezuela, Brazil, and Nicaragua threaten to add to an already untenable situation along the southern border.

Opponents of a plan to convert Melbourne's Palace Theatre into a 30-storey apartment building have upped the volume of complaints online, as Planning Minister Matthew Guy signalled he would reject the development in its current form.
Last Friday, property developer Jinshan Investments announced it had submitted a proposal to demolish the existing theatre to build a five-star hotel with 205 rooms, as well as 145 apartments. The entire project would require a $180 million investment.
However, the plan went down like a 'lead zeppelin' with music fans, who took to the internet to vent their disgust.
An online petition begun on Saturday morning has more than 14,000 signatures, while a Facebook group called "Save the Palace Theatre - Melbourne" has attracted more than 24,000 likes.
Laura Ibic was one of those to sign the petition, adding: "Many of my happiest moments have been at this place! I can't imagine Melbourne without it!"
The venue at the east end of Bourke Street, has hosted live music since 1987, and dates back more than one hundred years as a theatre and cinema. Kylie Minogue, The Dandy Warhols and Kaiser Chiefs have all played there.
On Saturday, Mr Guy told ABC News he was no fan of the proposal either.
"The developer is dreaming if he thinks the government is going to approve this in the form in which it has been submitted," Mr Guy said. "It is too tall, it is in the wrong location."
The minister is yet to formally consider the application.
Music Victoria chief executive Patrick Donovan said losing the Palace Theatre would leave a critical gap in venues catering to about 2000 people after the closure of the Palace in St Kilda. As a result he said some touring performers may skip Melbourne altogether.
"We have lost the two standing room, mid-range venues", Mr Donovan said. "The problem is no one is building these kind of theatres so we really need to protect those that we have."
The developer bought the three-storey building at a public auction last year after the former owners went into administration. A short term lease has been granted to the former owners to continue to hold concerts.
The Melbourne Heritage Action group plans to oppose the redevelopment in order to see the interior of the building preserved as well as its heritage-listed facade.
A spokeswoman for Jinshan Investments said heritage reviews had been done and that the developer had not yet heard back from the government to discuss what needs to be reconsidered.
The spokeswoman said: "Although we recognise that many of us have had great experiences in the past permutations of the site, we firmly believe that these experiences do not outweigh the need for the area to be regenerated."

The German Money Laundering Act (Geldwäschegesetz - GwG) requires obligated parties to take appropriate business- and customer-related internal safeguards to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing. These internal security measures include, in particular, the appointment of a money laundering officer and his representative. The obligation to appoint a money laundering officer or a representative exists either directly by virtue of the law (Section 7 (1) Sentence 1 AMLA) or on the basis of an order issued by the competent authority (Section 7 (3) AMLA).
This order was issued in mid-August 2021 for all Bavarian administrative districts for commercial dealers in goods whose main activity (more than 50% of total sales in the previous fiscal year) is trading in precious metals such as gold, silver and platinum, precious stones, jewelry, watches, art objects, antiques, motor vehicles, ships, motorboats or aircraft, where on the last day of the previous fiscal year a total of at least 15 employees were employed in the areas of acquisition, cashiering, customer accounting, sales and distribution, including management personnel (in particular management) and who, pursuant to Section 4 para. 5 No. 1 of the German Money Laundering Act (GwG) to have an effective risk management system in place.
The competent authority must be notified in advance of the appointment of a money laundering officer and a deputy or their dismissal (Section 7 (4) sentence 1 AMLA). We recommend the forms that can be downloaded under "Forms" for the notification (notification of change / deputy regulation / discharge).
Pursuant to Section 7 (2) GwG, an application for exemption from the obligation to appoint a money laundering officer may be submitted to the locally competent supervisory authority.
Pursuant to Section 6 (7) Sentence 1 GwG, a contractual agreement may be concluded by the obligated party to transfer the duties of the money laundering officer to third parties. The consent of the supervisory authority is not required for this. Rather, prior notification of the transfer is sufficient.
Information on the contractual requirements can be found under "Further links".


SALEM, Ore. (AP) — A state investigation released Thursday finds Oregon lawmakers didn’t do enough to stop sexual harassment in the Capitol.
As a result, the five-month investigation by the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries, known as BOLI, concludes the state Capitol is a hostile workplace, Oregon Public Broadcasting reported.
The findings largely align with the complaint Labor Commissioner Brad Avakian filed in August on behalf of four women who said they had been harassed in the Capitol.
The report echoes Avakian’s initial complaint that top lawmakers haven’t done enough to curb harassment they knew or should have known was occurring. As the complainant in the case, Avakian didn’t participate in the investigation.

How many times have you heard of it?
Unfortunately, however, food, the most nutritious, is also very rich in calories.
For this reason, I am here to talk to you about healthy and tasty foods that but they don't have many calories, to be precise.
Foods that shouldbe part of a personalized diet
Healthy foods , therefore, but at the same time nutrients that you can include in your diet to make it tastier.
Chicken breast is what is generally considered lean meat.
But what does lean meat actually mean?
In the first place that means low fat content and while fat is not a bad thing in itself as I already wrote to you in the article where I promoted diets high in the right fats by comparing them with those with low carbohydrates, meats that are at low in fat are fantastic because they are almost entirely protein.
And muscles are certainly important because muscles increase our metabolism and therefore we burn more calories!
In fact, every muscle burns at rest from 6 to 10 calories in an hour. With muscles you burn calories in excess even while sitting.
Moreover, eating proteins and linking this to good physical activity does nothing but make you lose weight.
DOWNLOAD GUIDE IN PDF[dkpdf-button]
We can consider proteins good for losing weight but it's not just that. Proteins are building blocks for our body. Above all, proteins are fantastic for everything from bones, cartilage, skin, which are all connective tissues that are needed to keep joints strong. Protein is also a building block for your blood, getting important nutrients to get where they need to go, as well as for your enzymes and hormones, which serve a lot of important things in your body by doing so that different systems work properly – from the immune system to your digestive system! Proteins are also fundamental for the effect of thermogenesis they have on our metabolism, so let's say that a dish containing a protein of 700 calories will never be 700 calories because the protein will have burned some of itself! Cute, isn't it?
Besides, chicken breast has more than84% protein in it! Moreover, this fantastic element can also be cooked in a thousand million different and all good ways, you know it too!
Do you like breakfast? On the other hand, it is the most important meal of the day. Also because if you don't eat breakfast it is clear that then you will tend to eat too much. In short, if you don't eat breakfast then you'll be eating trash like snacks and unhealthy things all day. Instead, starting off on the right foot and with a protein is what you need. We always return to the same argument that thermogenesis also applies to eggs, so we start burning calories early in the morning. Eggs are exceptional, each egg has on average 6 grams of protein. Eggs are also low in calories, and have tons of healthy fats. You heard right, let's talk about healthy fats. You see, not all fat is bad for you. Healthy fats, like those found in eggs (and other foods, which we'll discuss later), are just as filling you up as protein! Combining the two together by eating less is the best thing to do!
Eggs are good for everything: the skin, hair, eyes, bones and muscles. Even egg yolk, where there is more fat, is healthy fat, you can eat it. Whole eggs are the best way if you want to get all the benefits associated with eggs. Which not only include proteins and fats, but also six different vitamins (A, B2, B5, B12, D, and E, if you were wondering), iron (very important for healthy blood), iodine (helps the thyroid ), biotin (hair, skin and immune system health), choline (metabolism and liver function), folic acid (not the deadly kind of acid, thankfully), phosphorus (helps maintain teeth pearly white), lutein and zeaxanthin (protects the eyes from the negative effects of aging) and selenium (the immune system and thyroid). Also in the case of chicken breast there are thousands of ways to cook eggs and they are all good. I am crazy about omelettes but there are so many, then you will write them to me!
Salmon is not only rich in proteins like chicken and eggs but also another fundamental healthy element: omega-3. Omega-3s are essential for many things, the first being the heart and also skin, hair and eyesight. If we combine salmon or seafood even a couple of times a week with the above elements, this will make our diet truly perfect!
Drinking milk is good for us, it they say from an early age because of football. Possible is, we know, get calcium from other sources, such as supplements, soy or almonds. So why is it important to drink milk? Because milk is rich in calcium bioavailability that is, it retains and excretes the right amount of calcium that your body needs. This is not to say that drinking milk is necessarily better than almond milk.lactose intolerance for example, it is a problem that afflicts a large part of the population and the amount of calcium can be taken through other means. But if we are not intolerant, drinking milk can only make us feel good!
If you are really thinking that you don't want to drink milk, you could always think of yogurt but also in this case not to a normal yogurt but to the Greek one. Because Greek yogurt contains double the proteins of regular yogurt and has less sugar than regular yogurt. For those who find it difficult to eat it because of the slightly strange taste, I recommend the Greek one from Danone which is a little smoother and has a more pleasant taste in general.
We talked about salmon and now let's talk about shellfish, specifically shrimp. Shrimp as well as other crustaceans but also seafood contain a lot of proteins and omega-3s. But in addition, shrimp is rich in zinc which tends to improve the immune system, manage stress levels, reduce acne and improve the healing process of wounds and lesions.
If you are lactose intolerant, as mentioned before, this is the ideal solution: almond milk! And why almond milk among all the alternatives? Because that's what tastes best. I could have told you soy but lately soy has come under fire because it increases estrogen levels and can cause breast cancer to develop. So absolutely not.
Almond milk is tastier and healthier, there's no doubt about it.
Since we're on the subject of almond milk we are talking about almonds which are loaded, like other nuts, with healthy fats which are a panacea for the heart.
Besides this, almonds are also full of wonderful nutrients like biotin, phosphorus, vitamin E, and fiber. They make for a very filling and healthy snack, and if you're as busy as I am, you'll love the fact that there's no prep to having to eat them.
So, keep some in a bag of plastic or in a small plastic container are valid either as a snack, topping or side dish and are full of nutritional value!
It is certainly no coincidence that horses are given oats because oats it's good for you!
Decreased heart disease
Manages blood pressure
Lowers bad cholesterol
Improves the immune system
Reduces the risk of diabetes
And then you can eat it with the old yoghurt!
No, I'm not talking about french fries! I'm talking about potatoes loaded with nutritional values, such asvitamin B6 which bring tons of health benefits, including stimulating the brain and nervous system health and are a decent source of vitamin C, potassium and dietary fiber (among others). The fact is that many of us eat potatoes with a lot of bad things or even just fried. Try cooking half a potato with its skin in the oven with a little salt and then we'll talk about it.
Cabbage is the most nutrient of the world! Going above and beyond in terms of vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin K1, and a number of healthy minerals, kale dominates when it comes to health benefits.
I love fruit and I love blueberries! The absolute fruit with the greatest antioxidant value in existence. The health benefits of these intriguing substances are astounding, from improving memory to lowering blood pressure and even, in some animal studies, possibly fighting cancer. In addition to blueberries, most fruits add value to your daily diet. Smoothies are surprising ways to eat more fruit. Combine Greek yogurt, milk, blueberries, strawberries, and half a banana in a blender and you have a delicious – and highly nutritious – smoothie for breakfast or mid-day when you need an energy boost.
Garlic has been shown to reduce the risk of lung cancer, reduce the risk of osteoarthritis, lower blood pressure, and help fight against several types of cancer. How amazing, right? And it's so easy to add garlic to your diet.
Crush it and sprinkle it on chicken or fish, or even eggs if you like (I don't, but it's worth a try). Try it on salads.
Cinnamon is one of my favorite spices, probably because as a child I ate it in industrial quantities, on sweets or on bread with butter and sugar.Cinnamon can be helpful when trying to lose fat, it helps control insulin, lowers cholesterol and blood sugar, and speeds up metabolism.
But how? All healthy foods and then finally chocolate?dark chocolate (with a high cocoa content, think 70%) is higher in antioxidants than even blueberries – a food known for its antioxidant content.
And you surely don't know that dark chocolate also has large amounts of fiber, iron and magnesium. I bet you didn't expect it, huh? So in reality, as always, it is enough just not to exceed to make any food healthy for our diet, even chocolate.
And you? Will you follow my advice? Comment below and let's talk about it!

NOT A WORD ABOUT POLITICS!
by Roman Osminkin
5'' x 7'' perfect bound book
The first English language collection of the work of radical Russian poet, crooner, rapper, artist and activist Roman Osminkin. This edition is a double facing (Russian originals included) collaborative work between writers, artists and translators spanning East to West.
“Not a word about politics!” – enough of chattering insipid fantasies. Politics is a task for everyone, it can be and it is enacted every day by every historical subject in her micro-social practices. When such practices are popularized, they can grow into a demand which resounds so loudly that it is impossible to ignore. Poetry, songs, rap – these are essential forms for crafting a solidarity of the word, for making the word political. Speech, not only the speech of a lexicon but of gestures and movement, politicizes dead language when it reorders the connections between old meanings and their referents, performing reality through “language in action.”

Great for a quick burger right across from the resort. Cool atmosphere, great service and good old rock and roll playing while you eat.
1 - 10 of 87 reviews
This guy assured me ot would be great even though I wanted to eat at the fish place next door. I am pretty sure he just went to them for my food and it was amazing!
Great place to try brews, cocktails, champagne, or any other libations. Good food, fun crowd and super fun staff. Don't miss this one!
My husband and I ate lunch here at looking at a few menus along the marina. This one had the most reasonable prices. Great staff and awesome non-alcoholic pina coladas.
Great little spot we fell onto while checking out the marina of Cabo. Had the shrimp and blacked fish tacos complete with pico and homemade guacumole. Add in the 2 for 1 "Bulldogs " a Margarita with a coronita and you have great food and...More
We stopped in here after an activity and enjoyed a couple of drinks. It is a small restaurant, but clean and comfortable. Good music playing on the stereo and a very simple concept that works well.
Burgers and fries are awesome. So good we returned again later in the week for another feast!! Portions are big enough to share.


3D scanning is a modern and advanced technology, used nowadays in many industries like manufacturing, medicine, aerospace, design. Though the technology is rather fresh, it rapidly advances and quickly took a big niche in the professional environment. This technology satisfies the needs for reverse engineering and can regarded as a window to CAI – Computer-Aided Inspection, which simplifies and speeds up the analyzation and quality control of parts and also provides precision of up to micrometers.
The scanning is performed by capturing digital information about the shape of a part through the light or laser technology to determine the distance from the scanner to the part. Both small (even very small) and very big objects can be scanned using a 3D-scanner.
What 3D scanning technology can offer:
- An ideal tool for working with complex shapes
- Time saving
- High precision of measurements
- Reverse Engineering faculties

Evan Bass and Carly Waddell can't wait to meet their "Paradise baby!"
ET's Lauren Zima sat down with the Bachelor in Paradise alums on Monday, where they gushed about their recent wedding and their "surprise" baby on the way!
"It was a great surprise, it's a great little miracle," Waddell shared. "We took a pregnancy test in Mexico, and we saw the thing [in Spanish] and were like, 'What does that even say?' So we googled it!"
"It's a Paradise baby!" Bass gushed, revealing that while their nuptials will air on Tuesday's episode of Bachelor in Paradise, the moment they found out they were pregnant was not caught on camera.
A few weeks later, the newlyweds are now looking forward to finding out the sex of their baby.
"We actually just took a blood test because we want to know really fast!" Waddell explained. "So we should know in the next like, week or two."
"[We need] to start planning!" added Bass, who has three sons from a previous relationship. "I mean, we got things to buy!"
"He's telling everyone it's going to be named Evan," Waddell revealed of possible names for their little one. "I think that's so confusing. If I'm mad, and I'm like, 'Evan!' and then you both run in like, 'What?' that's so confusing."
Before the baby arrives, fans will watch the cute couple walk down the aisle, in what they describe as an "emotional" and "electric" day -- despite the fact that it was filmed during Bachelor in Paradise's controversial shutdown.
"The wedding was going to happen [regardless]," Bass said of the big day, which guests like Ashley Iaconetti and Sarah Herron told ET they "panicked" about before flying down to Mexico. "It was perfect. I mean, you picture a dream wedding and this was everything that you could ever want and we just feel super honored and, so special."
But the couple, who say they want "one or two" more kids in the future, really can't wait to see themselves when their wedding airs on Tuesday.
"I have such a soft spot in my heart [for Bachelor in Paradise], because I know that it works. I mean, it worked for Jade and Tanner, it worked for us. Like, we just love it so much!" Waddell said, adding that it's their "dream" to have their future child possibly fall in love with Tolbert and Roper's soon-to-be baby girl on a future version of Paradise.
"That would be amazing!" she said. "It was so fun, the day before her baby shower, I was like, 'Jade, I have some news for you.' She's so excited! I mean, like, six months apart, so our kids will obviously be friends. Like, we're just really excited and I was like, 'Jade you can give me all of the tips!' And she was like, 'OK,' and I'm like, 'I'm glad you're going first!'"
As for whether the family will head to reality TV before their little one is grown, they said they're taking it "one step at a time" -- but they do have thoughts on who should be the next Bachelor.
"I think Wells [Adams] would be the greatest dark horse candidate," Bass revealed. "Dean [Unglert] is too young. Peter [Kraus] was on a mission to be the Bachelor, which if he makes it, good for him, but he was smart. That guy, he said all of the right Bachelor things to say, and kudos to him for doing it... but I think Wells would be a great choice."

Title: Step-Down Procedure Of Sonic Nozzles Calibration
Author: Jae Myoung Limf, Bok Hyun Yunf, Hae Man Choi, Kyung Am Park
Source: Flomeko 2007
Year Published: 2007
Abstract: The aim of this paper is to develop the step-down technology of sonic nozzle calibration in very small gas flow rate required in the fields of semiconductor process and NT(Nano Technology). To reach the aim mentioned above the following measuring method was developed. Firstly, several sonic nozzles of the same throat diameters with the same configuration were manufactured and calibrated by means of the standard measurement system. Then a group of sonic nozzles with the similar characteristics was selected. Lastly one of those sonic nozzles is installed upstream, and two or N of the others downstream. In this way characteristics of downstream sonic nozzles were obtained at the low flow rate.

Tax Deductions For Donating a Car
If you want to get tax deductions for donating your car, then read on.
This article contains information about Tax deductions for donating a car and where to get a tax receipt for your donation.
Here are some charities that accept all kinds of cars.
If you’re donating a car to charity in California, you can choose from any of these options.
There are many benefits to donating your car to charity.
Tax deductions for car donations.
Most charities report the selling price of donated cars.
But the IRS recommends using a reliable used car price guide to determine the true market value of the vehicle.
If you do not know how to determine the value, the Kelley Blue Book is a great resource.
You can also use a private party’s price as a basis for determining the value.
The IRS also recommends that you hold onto your records in case of an audit.
Before you donate a car, be sure to research the tax benefits of donating the vehicle.
Donations may be tax deductible if you donate it to a 501(c)(3) organization.
Also, try to choose a reputable charity that can help with the paperwork and the IRS.
If you’re not concerned with maximizing your tax benefits, donating your car to a charity will still benefit those in need.
If you donate a car that you no longer need, it can still generate a significant tax deduction.
The Internal Revenue Service has set two rules for determining the amount of the tax deduction.
A charitable car donation can only be deducted for the amount of the sale price,
whereas other vehicles can be written off based on their fair market value.
If you donate a car that was in great condition and is still in good working condition,
you will probably receive a tax deduction equal to half of the fair market value of the car.
Tax deductions for car donations to charity
California can be significant. You may be able to claim up to $500 of tax benefits from donating your car.
However, it’s best to contact the nonprofit organization in advance to find out what the requirements are.
Donating a car to a charity that is an approved 501(c)(3) organization is your best option.
You’ll also be able to get a tax deduction for the value of the car.
Charities that accept any kind of vehicle
There are many charities that accept any kind of
vehicle, from junk cars to classic cars.
You may be surprised to learn that some of these charities even accept
unusual or non-running vehicles.
For instance, the American Diabetes Association,
which aims to prevent and improve the lives of people with diabetes,
works with car donation services to collect donated vehicles and sell them for charity at auction.
Donated vehicles are recycled after the auction and are used for various programs.
If you’re considering donating a car to charity, there are a number of organizations that accept vehicles in California.
Catholic Charities is a good option because the donation is tax-deductible and the charity will pick up the vehicle free of charge.
You may even be able to designate a specific region or program for your donation.
No matter what type of vehicle you own, donating your vehicle is a great way to give back to a good cause.
If you want to help disabled veterans, consider donating your car to Vehicles For Veterans.
Veterans often face challenges upon returning from overseas.
The donations provided by Vehicles For Veterans provide a helping hand to these veterans and fund veteran and disabled programs.
Donating your car helps these veterans live better lives after serving their country.
And because of its free pick-up service,
Vehicles For Veterans can accept any type of vehicle in California.
Limitation on tax deductions
The IRS limits the amount you can deduct for donating a car to a certain dollar amount.
However, if the vehicle is donated to a charity, you can still deduct up to $3,000 for this donation.
However, this deduction only applies if you itemize your expenses and use the total from Schedule A.
In addition, the car must be sold at a price below its fair market value to qualify.
If you want to claim maximum tax benefits for donating a car, you can consider selling the car yourself.
While the car donation process is simple, it requires a good deal of paperwork and careful documentation.
If the car isn’t worth much, you can sell it for a few hundred dollars in the salvage yard.
In California, the value of a car may be as little as $120.
If you are donating a car to charity in California, you must meet certain
requirements before claiming the deduction. For example, if you donated a car to charity in the state of California,
the charity must be a nonprofit. To qualify for a tax write-off, the car must be in good condition.
InThe IRS also requires that the charity make substantial material improvements to the car before the sale.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act has lowered tax rates and adjusted income brackets. The new tax law may allow you to claim the full value of your donated car.
However, the new tax law may require you to itemize in order to claim the full deduction.
You’ll have to do your research and decide which option is best for you.
In any event, you’ll be glad you donated your car to charity.
Getting a tax receipt for a car donation
Once you’ve donated your car, you’ll most likely receive a tax receipt.
You may also receive an acknowledgement letter or Form 1098-C document.
If you’re planning to use the receipt for tax purposes, you’ll need it.
Whether you donate less than $500 or more, you may be able to use the same information from your receipt to reduce your taxes.
The vehicle donation receipt must be filled out accurately. In the Organization Name field,
you’ll need to enter the legal name of the recipient organization.
Next, the Address field should contain the street address and city, state, zip code.
Make sure to include these information in a legible way.
Once you’ve entered all of these details, the receipt is ready for printing.
It’s important to remember to save the document and keep it for future use.
The charity will report the sale price on a Form 1098-C and you can claim up to $500 of the car’s fair market value.
The IRS recommends using a reputable used-car price guide,
such as Kelley Blue Book, to estimate the car’s value.
You should also consider obtaining private party prices for the car.
This will help you determine the tax deduction amount.
You may be eligible to deduct the fair market value of the vehicle if you donate it. For deductions exceeding $5,000, a written appraisal is required.
You must obtain this appraisal within 60 days of donating your car.
Once you’ve obtained a tax receipt for your car donation, you can keep these records for future reference.
Then, you’ll need to file a Form 1098-C with the IRS.
And you should file Section A of Form 8283 as well.
Scams to avoid
Donating your car to a charity should be an enjoyable experience.
Moreover, the proceeds you receive should go to the charitable cause you’ve chosen.
To avoid scams when donating your car to charity, check its sources first.
You can look up Wheels For Wishes reviews on Trustpilot to find out what its
customers have to say about the charity.
The organization’s overall reputation is good, with low complaints and a high rating on Trustpilot.
First, check if the charity is registered with Charity Navigator.
Many car donation scams use the good name of legitimate charities.
Make sure the charity you’re considering is a registered charity, not a fake one.
Secondly, make sure the agent you’re working with is actually from a charity with the 501(3)(c) status.
Only then can you get a tax deduction on your car donation.
Another warning sign of a car donation scam is a middleman,
who doesn’t have a direct affiliation with the charity.
A middleman will take a percentage of your donation and then give it to the charity.
The result is a scam. While donating a car to a charity in California, keep these tips in mind to avoid scams.
There are many legitimate car donation organizations in the state, and you can choose one that meets all your requirements.
Don’t give out any personal information, even if it’s on the website.
Using your credit card or wire transfer is much safer.
However, it’s best to avoid using cash or gift cards if you’re unsure about a charity’s reputation.
Don’t click on any links in unsolicited emails; otherwise, you may end up with malware.
Also, be cautious when responding to pleas for help via social media or crowdfunding sites.

She misses her boyfriend and best friend. She loves music and dancing. She was deeply affected by the loss of her father. She doesn’t want to move to rural Connecticut and is mad at her mom for making her leave Brooklyn.
The second Pemba and her mother move into their kinda spooky colonial house, strange things start happening. That very night Pemba has disturbing dreams and wakes up in the attic even though she fell asleep in her room.
Pemba knows she’s not crazy, but her headaches are getting worse and she keeps seeing an apparition in the mirror who is sending her visions. Pemba befriends an old man, Abraham, who begins to help Pemba understand the history of her town and even her own house.
Soon, Pemba realizes that Phyllis, an 18th century slave girl, is trying to reach out to her from beyond. Phyllis has a story to tell and she knows Pemba is the only one who can help her. Is she gifted enough to help Phyllis? But how will Pemba be able to solve a mystery that is hundreds of years old?
The story itself is intertwined with Pemba’s journal entries and poems. Each one provides the reader with insight into Pemba’s heart and emotions. I really felt like Pemba was a believable and realistic character and I enjoyed getting to know her in this unique way.
Also, this book is pretty spooky at times. To be honest, I finished this one at night after my husband was already asleep and I was creeping myself out at any noise I heard!
I’m pretty positive that my students are going to love this one.

“It’s a funny thing to say, but I’m very proud of our divorce,” Moore wrote, according to TheNew York Times. Moore went on to explain that at first, she thought Willis was afraid she would make their dissolution dreadful for him.
“I think Bruce was fearful at the beginning that I was going to make our split difficult, and that I would express my anger and whatever baggage that I had from our marriage by obstructing his access to the kids – that I’d turn to all of those ploys divorcing couples use as weapons, ”she said. “But I didn’t, and neither did he.”

She noted that although her breakup from Willis “wasn’t easy at first,” they both made a concerted effort to redirect the “heart of our relationship, the heart of what created our family , into something new that gave the girls a loving, supportive environment with both parents. ”
