Check out her performance of Elvis Costello & Burt Bacharach’s “God Give Me Strength”
Stephen Holden of the N.Y. Times wrote of this tune …“She found her mojo in a devastating performance of the Burt Bacharach -Elvis Costello ballad “God Give Me Strength,” introduced in the 1996 movie “Grace of My Heart.” It is a song that can only register if invested with an operatic intensity, and Ms. Kole rose to the occasion with an anguished performance …”

The specialized field in which the skills of medical science are applied to serve the needs of law and justice is called legal or forensic medicine.
Legal medicine is so intimately associated with human conduct that its development may be considered contemporary with that of the social development of man. And particularly with the recognition or punishment of crime. Biblical laws made a distinction between mortal and dangerous wounds and had laws relating to the subject of public medicine. The laws of ancient Greece and Rome demonstrate evidence that some of the more important medical problems were recognized. Suetonius recorded that the body of Julius Caesar was examined by a physician named Antisius, who declared that out of 23 wounds inflicted, the one which penetrated the thorax was the cause of death.
The Justinian Code (529-533 A.D.) required the opinion of physicians in certain cases and is often credited as the origin of recognition of the correlation of law and medicine in effecting legal justice. In a penal code formulated by the Bishop of Bamberg in 1507 A.D., it was stipulated that a medical examination was to be made in all cases of violent death. In 1532, the Diet of Ratisbon under Charles V designated in the Constitution Carolina that in all cases where medical testimony could enlighten the judge or assist in the investigation of personal injury or murder, such evidence was to be required. Thus, on the European continent the specialty of legal medicine developed as a specific function of government.
In England and Ireland at the time, we find a somewhat different approach to the legal problems of criminal violence. There the investigations were made by a representative of the King. The full title of this official was: "Custos Placitorum Coronae, more popularly the "Coronator". Eventually this title became Coroner. The exact date of the origin of this office in England is not know. Some believe that it originated under the Saxon Kings, perhaps as early as 958 A.D. Other dates of origin are presumed to be "soon after the conquest by William the Conqueror" (1066 A.D.) or under "Henry the First" (early in the twelfth century). Article 20 of the Articles of Eyre (1194) provided for the election of one clerk to act as custodian of the please of the Crown. His relation to deaths by violence was secondary to other functions.
When death resulted from violence, it was customary to seize the property of the victim. Objects producing accidental deaths were confiscated also. These were sold, and the receipts distributed as alms. It was supposed to mean that these alms, known as deodands, would serve as a means of appeasing God's wrath for the shedding of blood.
It is believed that William Penn, founder and Governor of Pennsylvania, was appointed the first Coroner in the American colonies. This appointment was made when a dead body was found on the banks of a river in Pennsylvania. The Coroner was instructed to investigate the facts concerning the death, proceeding in the same manner as was customary in England except that the property of the dead man was to be held in trust for the heirs.

Adam Gopnik writes about the influential British journalist and editor Harold Evans, who died on Wednesday, at the age of ninety-two.
At his first-ever job on a newspaper, at the Ashton-under-Lyne Reporter, outside his home town of Manchester, the young Harry Evans was approached by a surly editor who demanded that Evans tell him exactly how many spokes there are in a bicycle wheel. (In those parched wartime years, Evans was cycling fourteen miles to work.) “I don’t know, sir,” the cub reporter replied. “Find out! Curiosity is the thing in journalism. Curiosity! Ask questions, Evans!” the crusty editor insisted.
And the boy did. Of all the memorable things about Evans, who died on Wednesday, at the age of ninety-two, the most memorable one was the quality and constancy of his curiosity. Curiosity can seem a secondary virtue, like courtesy or punctuality, but the quality of Harry’s curiosity was always a reminder that in the right hands, or in the right mind, it could be a primary one—and that for newspaper and magazine folks, curiosity is, along with courage, the virtue that matters most. Harry was always curious—charmingly curious, omnivorously curious, demandingly curious, and, to the people who worked for him, sometimes exhaustingly curious: curious about politics, curious about writing, curious about love, curious about the world. Above all, curious about the truth of things—not the official truth or the acceptable truth or the cosmetic truth but the unvarnished reality of significant events. He sought that relentlessly and fearlessly, and the charm and ingenuous boyishness of his personal manner was never more than a cover for someone who thought that, whether about bicycle spokes or buried secrets, it was his job in life to know.
He begins his wonderful memoir of his newspaper life, “My Paper Chase”—published when he was already in his eighties, but still beautifully, breathlessly high-hearted in tone and spirit—with a story of seeing exhausted soldiers on a beach, just evacuated from Dunkirk, and realizing, though only a child, that the standard story of Dunkirk as a morale-boosting “triumph” was far from the lived experience of Dunkirk for its witnesses. That scene on the shore informed his life with the confidence that the official story was not necessarily, or even probably, the adequate story—and that the official story might contain elements of the truth rearranged.
Evans’s flight to America saw him transformed, in some measure, as the husband of his second wife, Tina Brown. Photograph by Ann Clifford / The LIFE Picture Collection / Getty
It was this pursuit of truth, often in the face of resistance, that made him the most famous newspaperman in Britain in the second half of the twentieth century. As a newspaper editor, he was on a level of legend that, in America, only Ben Bradlee at the Washington Post can quite equal. At his first significant editorship, of the Darlington Northern Echo, Evans led a quixotic fight to clear the reputation of a young man named Timothy Evans, who was wrongly convicted and hanged for murder. The reporting spurred the struggle against capital punishment in Britain and caused Evans to believe that it is just at the moment when a newspaper is getting bored with its own crusade that…

It’s rare to see a company CEO leak details of their upcoming product, this leak comes from the head of Meizu who showed their upcoming Meizu 16 flagship phone and whats interesting about this leak is that the phone seems to have an in-display fingerprint sensor and a near bezeless design.
The image was mainly to show the bezel thickness when comparing it to another phone. It shows the bottom sides of the phone where the chin is located, but whats more interesting about the image is that it seems to have a fingerprint sensor on the screen, indicated by a fingerprint mark. Wheather that is intentional or not, it’s really nice to see Meizu stepping up their game to bring next-generation technology to their phone. It is still unsure if they are going with Super AMOLED screens for this feature but from what we can see, the phone is looking really nice.
Specs-wise, the phone will come with a Snapdragon 845 processor, 6GB of RAM and up to 128GB of internal storage, all of this will come with a price tag of 3300 Yuan (RM2015.68). Its really nice to see Meizu is pulling all the stops on this phone, which is sure to be their most impressive and powerful phone to date.

New Delhi: Citing improvement in the COVID-19 situation, the Election Commission on Thursday lifted the ban on victory processions during the counting of votes and declaration of results in the five states where elections were held recently.
The Commission had imposed the ban in April 2021 ahead of the results for assembly polls in Assam, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, West Bengal and Kerala and continued with the restriction for Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Manipur, Goa and Punjab where elections were held this year.
In a statement, the poll panel said keeping in mind the current status of Covid-19 in these states, it has “decided to relax the guidelines on victory processions during and after the counting and has withdrawn the blanket ban on victory procession.”
“During the period of elections as the COVID situation improved, the Commission gradually relaxed the norms concerning electioneering in consultation with the Union Health Ministry and state governments,” the statement said.
The relaxation will be subject to existing instructions of state disaster management authorities and preventive measures imposed by concerned district authorities, it added.
After imposing restrictions on physical campaigning to prevent the surge of COVID cases at the time of the announcement of the poll schedule on January 8, the poll watchdog has been gradually easing curbs.

The City of Huntsville continues to move forward in efforts to balance their budget without another tax increase.
In a workshop Tuesday night, it was discussed that the City’s recommendation is to increase employee insurance premiums by 10 percent. The plan also calls for adding $100 prescription deductibles, and increasing co-pays–all geared toward a balanced budget.
The health insurance fund would be cut by $200,000. In the plan, employees would also pay for additional life insurance and long-term disability.
The City’s health insurance fund racked up a deficit of nearly $600,000 following spending over $800,000 from the fund balance.

The Mining Museum (Miami), 2018, steel plate and mesh, wood, computer server rack, Ethereum mining rig (motherboard, three graphics processing units (GPUs), battery, hard drive, Windows OS), smart contract, 60 x 27 x 17 inches (152 cm x 69 x 43 cm)
How agreeable it must be to recall that December in Miami when you first fell in love with contemporary art? And for how many years since have you returned, unfailingly, to attend to this obsession? Such immoderate pleasures can often place demands on one’s time and wallet. This might bring a degree of struggle that can, at times, be leveraged to advance the goals of a collection: to propel connections with challenging recent art that both speaks to and augments the coherence of previous acquisitions.
Over the past several years there has been much ado about art and blockchain. Buzz in the industry press has spilled over into conversations and salons with HUO and the CTOs of London galleries. They say that blockchain, like art, isn’t simply a bubble economy. Both are here to stay. As with most meaningful innovation it will be up to artists, we are told, to invent blockchain tools of uncompromising beauty and critical import.
Consider yourself fortunate to be back in New York encountering an object that can form a meaningful partnership with artists working with blockchain. At the center of this gallery is the Mining Museum (Miami), hereinafter referred to as “MMM”, a faceted steel enclosure that discloses the signature profile of a private museum that might be sited somewhere in the eclectic Art Deco District of Miami Beach, the Design District across the causeway, or Wynwood. The MMM eliminates the burdensome task of museum entrepreneurialism for the democracy of domestically-scaled sculpture. Once installed in your home’s great room or gallery the enchanting pink powder-coated surface becomes a container for a computational core that mines Ethereum, which is the code to enable smart contracts.
Now, let us turn to contracts. We can certainly agree that the asymmetric and extractive market between artists, collectors, and institutions is unsustainable, yet it persists through opacity and a lack of systemic regulation. To ensure transparency and accountability, let us consider this document as the first step toward mediating a set of mutually beneficial terms. Such conditions will connect the producers of artworks more closely to its custodians. We are not creating a market where there was none before – we are simply upgrading the market we have.
As the custodian and/or consignee of the MMM you will be required to provide a 120V electrical current to keep the sculpture powered at all times. Inside the MMM is a steel beam rack that supports computer hardware optimized to mine the Ethereum cryptocurrency. As one node in a decentralized network of computers working to cryptographically verify, or hash, activity on the Ethereum distributed public ledger, the MMM requires that a strong and steady internet connection be provided, either LAN or Wifi. The MMM carries out a proof of work through a computationally intensive process that yields a cryptographic string. Ethereum is tokenized (Ether) as an incentive to participate in the network’s work protocols and is currently transferrable to other currencies on digital exchange platforms. All Ether generated by the MMM will be transferred to the digital wallet of the consignors João Enxuto and Erica Love:
This mining process not only produces Ether but also a thermal surplus that transforms a living space into a heat sink for an accursed share. With cryptocurrency mining, energy that would otherwise dissipate can now be captured as derivative value. As engines of market capitalization, artists rarely profit from what comes after an artwork is sold. Long-term mutuality is our goal.
As an early investor in our venture you will take part in the exciting and unpredictable journey toward the blockchain horizon. Undoubtedly you’ve heard that mining cryptocurrencies comes with undesirable environmental consequences, but with continued technical refinements this impact will surely be overcome. Mining Ether with the MMM is only an intermediate step in a longer process which will see the entire art market eventually move to the blockchain. Once there, we can transition to agents in decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), organically enforcing contracts that are specified in terms of networked regulations and networked currencies. Join us is in building the automated system that will finally yield a fair, trusted, and equitable market.

In case you didn’t get the memo, Charlie Sheen is a big proponent of winning. But Monday, the troubled actor was losing in a big way — namely, his job.
The future of “Two and a Half Men,” which halted production after Charlie made disparaging remarks about the show’s creator, is still up in the air, but one thing’s for sure: If it returns next season, he won’t be a part of it.
“After careful consideration, Warner Bros. Television has terminated Charlie Sheen’s services on ‘Two and a Half Men,’ effective immediately,” the production company said in a statement Monday. (We’re guessing John Stamos immediately placed a call to his agent.)
In a letter to Charlie’s lawyer obtained by TMZ, the production company explains the termination by charging “that Mr. Sheen has committed felony offenses involving moral turpitude (including but not limited to furnishing of cocaine to others as part of the self-destructive lifestyle he has described publicly) that have ‘interfere[d] with his ability to fully and completely render all material services required’ under [his contract].”
We’re no legal experts, but we’re pretty sure that translates to “He’s a train wreck, so we fired him.”
Demi Lovato is speaking out to her fans for the first time since leaving rehab. The Disney starlet was pulled from the Jonas Brothers tour in November and entered treatment for emotional issues after allegedly sucker-punching a backup dancer.
Calling her recent troubles “probably the darkest time in my life,” the “Sonny With a Chance” star effused to supporters, “I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for you. Your support is what got me through this.”
Demi, whose struggles were rumored to involve an eating disorder and the self-destructive habit of cutting, explained only that “I was dealing with issues that I know not only girls just my age but girls of all ages are dealing with.” She added, “I hope to one day raise awareness of everything so that I can help people just like you guys helped me through this rough time.”
She confided, “The journey has been very, very difficult,” but struck an upbeat note, saying, “I am excited to get back to work. I can’t wait to tell you guys what the future holds.”
We assume she’s talking about upcoming projects — but we’re more curious to know what the future holds for Demi and rumored beau Wilmer Valderrama. An 18-year-old struggling with emotional issues and a 31-year-old Hollywood scenester doesn’t strike us as the best combination, but we’ll keep an open mind.
Now that the cat’s out of the bag about Justin Bieber’s romance with Selena Gomez, the tween heartthrob is publicly gushing about his gal pal.
Over the weekend, the “Baby” singer tweeted to the “Wizards of Waverly Place” star from Europe, where he’s touring: “I miss you.”
And he’s not shy about telling the world why Selena has won his heart.
“She’s hot,” the Biebs declared to a British magazine. “Of course every guy likes the girl to be hot, which Selena is. But I like to mess around and pull jokes on people, so I like to be around people who make me laugh and share my sense of humor. That’s Selena for sure.”
The teen couple were snapped on vacation together months ago, but it wasn’t until an Oscars after-party last month that they were publicly photographed together being affectionate.
Justin concludes, “She is a really great person and I think she has the best smile in the world.” Awwww.

Kenyan musician Vivian attracted backlash for approaching TikTok star Azziad Nasenya to promote her song for free.
In an Instagram live interview, the musician noted that she reached out to the Aziad to post her new song Simpo Simpo featuring Stivo Simple Boy.
“We asked her if she can share my new song and she asked to be paid. That really suprised me. She is new in the industry,” the artiste stated.
Her sentiments attracted backlash on social media with a number of Kenyans accusing the musician of not appreciating the value of the digital influencer.
In a video retweeted over 300 times with more than 500 replies, many were of the opinion that the musician erred in her demands.
“What is wrong with Kenyans and respecting other people’s hustle, you want people to create content and promote you for free?” one user Moran stated.

Authenticity is one of those characteristics that you assume you're born with and can exude quite naturally. By definition, it means you are being genuine in your approach to everything you say, do, think and feel. But do we? Truly? Do we go about our daily lives not worrying about how others think of us or afraid of others judging us?
Look at the number of people on social media - including yours truly - and you can see that we’re putting ourselves out there to contribute to the conversation, to the community. How are we putting ourselves out there though? Each one of us has a distinct voice. But knowing that contributing also lends itself to judgement and scrutiny, we sometimes don’t reveal our true feelings or our authentic self. We want to fit in, we want to be part of a greater whole.
Societal pressures to conform and your own need to feel accepted can distort or limit how authentic you can be. If you’re one of those lucky ones who has it all figured out, congratulations! Please teach me the way! For many of us though, becoming your ideal self where being real, being vulnerable and accepting of yourself and of others requires a journey. A journey that takes courage and self discovery - and this takes time.
As I mentioned to my friend Samantha last night at dinner - I feel like I'm still on this journey. I've only been blogging for a few years but what I've noticed is that I'm finally beginning to find my voice. What I blogged about initially is not what drives me, what lights a fire. It’s not my passion. Writing yet another post on a pair of shoes is fun but not substantive enough for me. I want to help people - I want to contribute by making a difference in someone’s life - whether to encourage, empower, engage or inspire others to live a more balanced life, that is what I can contribute. And that took time to evolve and for me to discover. That's my authentic voice.
Blogging can be such a wonderful thing. To educate, to connect, to build community. It's an outlet, a channel, a device - all for the purposes of delivering your voice: what matters to you, what you're passionate about that others may share. While the topics may be different for each of us, the desire for community remains the same.
So the net here is, if you're gonna do something, make sure it's something that you can put your heart and soul into. Something that you have knowledge about - that can help others. Don’t do something because everyone else is doing it or because it’s trending. Be true in your voice, to your audience and most importantly, to yourself.

So you are not brokers!, that is usually the start of any conversation about CIEX, then what do you do? is usually the next question.
CIEX is a Marketplace Operated by Accountancy Firms where Businesses are Bought & Sold on behalf of Clients.
Why? (then follows) - ACCESS - there is no single recognised marketplace for selling, buying, or investing in sub €10m businesses. It is often difficult to generate an expression of interest let alone competitive bidding for a client’s business. On the other hand finding the right business to buy is equally difficult. The current methods lack continuity; traditional advertisements disappear from public view within a couple of days. Confidentiality is also a major issue for those who want to keep their intention to sell below the radar, traditionally competitors are often the first parties approached so confidentiality or anonymity are difficult to implement.
The current system of “known investors” does not recognise that this extended period of low interest rates has generated many investors who are looking for alternative investment opportunities. The lack of a recognised marketplace is a major hindrance to investors’ access to deals which reduces competition.
CIEX provides this marketplace, it facilitates deals by providing a professional, confidential, and anonymous platform solely for those interested in investing in, buying or selling businesses.
The how is easy , the CIEX format is simple:
The accountant represents their client, with no third party involvement, secure in the knowledge that they are reaching the widest possible audience of interested parties.
From our experience to date from visits to the CIEX website there is huge interest among business people in finding accountancy practices who offer M&A and TAS services for sub €10m businesses as the majority of hits on www.CIEXGlobal.com end up on our “Members Accountants” page.

The Porsche 911 GT2 RS has taken the Nürburgring lap document again from Lamborghini
The Porsche 911 GT2 RS has reclaimed the title of quickest road-legal automotive across the Nordschleife
The Porsche 911 GT2 RS has posted a lap time of 6:40:30 on the Nürburgring, Porsche claims, beating the earlier road-legal lap document of 6:44:97 set by the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ earlier this yr.
The GT2 RS’s chassis and suspension had been modified particularly for the 12.9-mile Nordschleife circuit by a workforce of engineers from Porsche and the US-based Manthey-Racing, which fields 911 RSR race variants within the World Endurance Championship and manufactures aftermarket components for Porsches within the US.
Porsche mentioned that, regardless of the modifications, “the technicians centered on suitability for on-road driving always”. The GT2 RS's 700bhp three.Eight-litre engine remained untouched from that in buyer vehicles.
Porsche affirmed that the one modification between the record-breaking automotive and the observe day-prepped GT2 RS MR offered by Manthey-Racing within the US is the set up of a racing bucket seat. The German producer pointed out that this was carried out in keeping with Nürburgring security suggestions and supplied no weight advantages.
Regardless of the modifications, the GT2 RS stays appropriate for off-track use in Europe, rendering it eligible for the road-legal lap time document.
On the wheel for the record-breaking lap was Lars Kern, whose 6:47:25 lap time in an unmodified GT2 RS final yr beat the earlier better of the Lamborghini Huracán LP640-Four Performante.
The general Nürburgring lap document can also be held by Porsche; its 919 Hybrid Evo race automotive went round in 5:19:55 earlier this yr.

1.4 million cannabis users in the UK
More than a million people are using cannabis illegally to self-medicate in the UK, according to a new YouGov poll. The survey found that there are 1.4 million users, half of which take the drug every day. The total spend on black market cannabis is an estimated £2.6 billion every year.
Cannabis usage was found across all demographics of society, with many people reporting that they take it for a range of illnesses.

Used the mirror cloth for the 1st time today and I like it. Why had I been using newspapers to wipe the long mirror 🤣

Items received in good condition. Works to sarisfaction with wiping the mirror off marks with a mist spray of water. The trick is to not use too much water.


Justin Champagnie Cementing Himself as One of College Basketball’s Elite
Coming into Tuesday night’s game against Duke, Justin Champagnie was second in the ACC in scoring and second in all of division one in rebounding. He was having a spectacular year. An all-time year.
But the best part about his season? It keeps getting better.
Now, we all knew he would be a very good player. It is fair to say everyone who follows Pitt basketball closely would have told you to watch out for Champagnie before the season started. But nationally? Not many saw this coming.
In his freshman season, Champagnie played a solid role for a Panthers team that finished 16-17. The 6-foot-6 wing averaged 12.7 points and seven rebounds per game, and finished sixth in All-ACC Freshman Team voting. Overall, a great debut season.
This year, he has not only built on that season, he has become one of the most dominant players in all of division one basketball. The Brooklyn native is having one of the greatest seasons in Pitt history and is quickly entering his name into not only the ACC Player of the Year conversation but also the National Player of the Year conversation.
After starting 7-2 on the season, Pitt found itself on multiple bracket predictions and on the radar of various national reporters and college basketball fans. One thing that would confirm what they thought they were seeing in Pitt? A win over Duke.
On Tuesday, the Panthers did just that, taking down the Blue Devils behind another tremendous double-double performance from none other than Champagnie. He scored a season-high 31 points on 12-for-15 shooting while hauling in 14 rebounds. He was 8 for 8 on shots within 3-point range, a perfect 100%. He had a game score of 32.9. For reference, ten is considered average. I’ll repeat that for you. Ten is considered average.
After his 31-point outburst, he is now averaging 20.3 points and 13 rebounds per game, both good for first in the ACC. He also ranks sixth in the conference in blocks per game, at 1.6. And now?
Everyone is taking notice.
It is time to starting talking about Justin Champagnie as a legitimate ACC Player of the Year candidate. 31 and 14 in Pitt's win over Duke. Panthers are now 8-2. Trending upward.

— Jared Wilson-Frame (@WilsonFrame) January 20, 2021
31 points, 14 rebounds and 4 blocks on 12-15 shooting for Justin Champagnie tonight as Pitt beats Duke. The best player in the country who isn’t talked about every night.
— Kevin Sweeney (@CBB_Central) January 20, 2021
While Champagnie is still just a sophomore, it is becoming clearer by the day that he is a very complete player, well on his way to becoming an NBA pro. Back in late December, Champagnie was listed on ESPN’s 2022 mock draft going 40th to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Since then, Champagnie has only gotten more dominant, even after being sidelined for weeks due to a knee injury.
If Champagnie were to get drafted, whether it be next year or the year after that, he would become the first Pitt player in the Capel-era to do so. He would become the first Pitt player drafted since Lamar Patterson in 2014. Not only would his personal goals be accomplished, but also the positive effects this would have on Capel’s program would be endless.
Recruits from all over would see that Capel can turn the No. 248 player in his high school class into a dominant college player and a pro, immediately putting Pitt on their radar. Recruits from New York would see how a Brooklyn kid went to Pitt and turned his dreams into reality, just like many former New York high schoolers came to Pitt to do in the program’s past successful years.
“Oh, Pitt is back,” Champagnie said after the win over Duke. “Thats what I think it [the win] solidifies. I think we are going to continue to keep this up and try our best to work hard and to take everything that’s not given to us. We feel like we are not given a lot of credit in this league and we want to go out there and show why we deserve the credit that we earn.”
The bottom line is this. Champagnie, since coming to Pitt, has turned himself into one of the best players in America. Capel will be the first one to tell you, Champagnie did this on his own. However, because of Capel’s pinpoint recruiting accuracy and gradual development of the kid from Brooklyn, Pitt is rising to the top of the ACC and once again receiving national attention.
Playing himself into an NBA draft pick after this year. Sorry to see him go this early.
He isn’t leaving after this year. He is a great college player right now but would be a 2nd round pick after this year and would play in the b league for a year or 2 before he got on a roster.
I think Justin enjoys college and turning the Pitt program around. He will be back next year.

The Power of Gelatin: Uncovering the Nutrition Facts and Health Benefits You Need to Know
What is Gelatin?
Gelatin is a protein that is derived from collagen, which is found in the connective tissues of animals. It is commonly used as a gelling agent in foods such as Jello, gummy bears, and marshmallows. However, gelatin has many other uses and health benefits that are often overlooked.
Nutrition Facts of Gelatin
According to Healthline, one tablespoon of gelatin powder contains approximately 23 calories, 6 grams of protein, and 0 grams of fat and carbohydrates. Gelatin is also a good source of essential amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein that our bodies cannot produce on their own.
Health Benefits of Gelatin
1. Improves Digestion
Gelatin has been shown to improve digestion by promoting the production of gastric juices and reducing inflammation in the gut. This can help alleviate symptoms of digestive disorders such as leaky gut syndrome, IBS, and Crohn’s disease.
2. Boosts Joint Health
As gelatin is derived from collagen, it can help improve joint health by promoting the growth and repair of cartilage. This can help reduce joint pain and stiffness in conditions such as osteoarthritis.
3. Promotes Healthy Skin, Hair, and Nails
Gelatin contains amino acids that are essential for healthy skin, hair, and nails. These amino acids help promote collagen production, which is important for maintaining the elasticity and strength of these tissues.
4. Supports Brain Function
Gelatin contains glycine, an amino acid that has been shown to improve brain function and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.
5. Helps with Weight Loss
Gelatin is a low-calorie, high-protein food that can help promote feelings of fullness and reduce overall calorie intake. This can be beneficial for weight loss and weight management.
How to Incorporate Gelatin into Your Diet
Gelatin can be easily incorporated into your diet by adding it to hot or cold liquids such as coffee, tea, smoothies, or soups. It can also be used as a thickening agent in recipes such as homemade jellies, puddings, and sauces.
While gelatin is generally considered safe for most people, there are some precautions to keep in mind. Those with allergies to beef or pork should avoid gelatin derived from these sources.

This means it can last for a long time. It is also able to be tumble-dried making it simple to keep clean and maintained.
Power to fill down
If you’re looking for a duvet for the summer heat you might want to consider a 4.5 tog bedding tog duvet. This kind of duvet offers a lightweight and breathable feel. It also has good temperature regulation. However, if you reside in a region that is cold during the winter, you’ll need an extra-warm duvet with a greater tog rating.
Compared to synthetic materials, natural down fillings are more resilient, breathable and hypoallergenic. A lot of are machine washable.
Down fill power measures the quality of the down that’s used in your duvet. Based on the quality of the down, goose Down 4.5 tog duvet you’ll need less filling to attain the same tog rating. A more firm, warmer pillow is produced by an increased tog rating.
If you’re considering a feather or down duvet, the tog rating of the duvet you choose is an important factor. Togs can range from one up to 15 tog. You can pick a duvet with a lower tog for the summer, but a high tog for the winter.
A 4.5-tog duvet that has a lot of down clusters will please those who enjoy fluffy down. These clusters trap air and create insulation. The loft of high-quality down is also more durable.
Your insulation capacity will be affected by the size of down clusters. Larger down clusters have better insulation properties. A larger down cluster will also lift higher.
Another aspect to consider is the weight of the down. The down fill capacity of a duvet with a weight of 4.5 grams is high however, it’s also heavy. The weight does not directly correlate with the rating.
If you are looking for a down duvet make sure that you purchase the highest quality. Several factors go into determining the quality of a down duvet, such as fill power, fabric and the structure of the duvet.
Synthetic fill power
The difference between a synthetic fill duvet and one made from natural fibres isn’t as clear cut as it seems. A synthetic duvet is a human-made product made of fibers like microfiber or polyester. It is manufactured in various thicknesses and widths, and also in different quality.
A natural duvet, on the other hand, is stuffed with goose or duck feathers. These feathers are lightweight, breathable, and highly insulation. They are also affordable, and a great option for families with small children. These duvets can be washed by machines which is a major benefit over synthetic products.
Although synthetic fillings are less difficult to clean than natural ones, they can still release microplastics into your environment. They also don’t possess the loft and insulation qualities of natural fillings. They are therefore not suitable for people suffering from asthma, allergies, and other respiratory issues.
Other types of filling are available, such as wool, silk, and hollow fiber that has been regenerated. These duvets are also referred as rPET or re:down.
It is vital to select the correct duvet, particularly in winter when warmth is crucial. The first thing you need to decide is whether you’d prefer a synthetic or natural fill.
A higher tog value is recommended in winter, and lower values are recommended for warmer months. An ideal solution is to get a duvet that is 10 tog for winter and a mid-tog one for summer.
The fill power of a duvet could range from 450 to 990 gsm (or grams of fill per square metre). Duvets with higher values of tog are more insulating and soft.
It is an excellent idea to look at the “t-shirt” that is the tog rating to determine what kind of fillings you prefer.
The Silentnight Cooler Summer Duvet makes a great summer duvet. It’s lightweight and made of breathable fibres that aid to regulate your body temperature. This could make a major impact on your sleep and is a good purchase on Amazon.
The duvet can also be machine washed, and it has a quick-drying composition. It can be dried and washed on the same day.
In addition to the cool-mimicking fabrics, the duvet is also filled with anti-allergy filling. This makes it ideal for those who suffer from allergies. Avoid duvets that are filled with feathers if have asthma.
The other main feature of a duvet designed for summer is its breathability. A lightweight duvet must provide plenty of space around the filling to make it more airy.
A duvet should have a low tog rating. A higher tog rating will offer better insulation. This is not the case with all duvets.
A 4.5 tog duvet is among the best options. A higher rating will allow you to stay comfortable in hot weather, however it’s not the breathable option.
The Silentnight Cooler Summer Double Duvet is a light, more insulating duvet that can be used during the summer months. It is available in double, single feather duvet 4.5 tog or queen sizes. It can be machine washed.

These kinds of duvets are also ideal for those who are allergic to dust mites since the fillings are synthetic, which is an excellent way to prevent the build-up of fungus and dust mites.
You may be asking yourself if you can dry tumble dry a 4.5 tog duvet. Always use the low or medium temperature settings. This will allow the shape to be kept and dry in a timely manner.
Before you put a 4.5 tog duvet into the dryer, ensure that it is completely dry. The dampness can lead to mildew or even mold. If you have a liner, it can also be an ideal option for drying the duvet.
The next thing you should consider is the type of dryer you’ll be using. There are different types including vented and vented. Ventless dryers are more gentle on the duvet material and accelerate drying time.
An airer is a different option. An airer is an air-tight drying rack that has an open, purposeful design. They are best suited to warm interior temperatures and allow proper airflow.
After you’ve chosen the ideal dryer for your 4.5 tog duvet, you’ll need be sure that it has a suitable capacity. Also, [empty] be sure not to overfill the dryer. Duvets that are too stuffed will not dry evenly and could take longer to dry.

This is a topic for people, who like (or at least strive for) good self-organization and proper project management. It is always good to stay on top of tasks and have a good overview of what needs to be done, what is work-in-progress, who has the most tasks, what are the deadlines, some reporting and finally, what is done. And it doesn't matter what is the size of your project, whether it is personal or you work in a team. Whenever you have clear goals, defined timeline, and scope of tasks, you can achieve more.
I am using some of these apps for myself: I organize my personal tasks such as doctor appointments, documents, events, etc. Moreover, I am working in a team on several projects, so we need to collaborate and these tools are vital for achieving any goal we set.
Some of these apps I have used for a while, some I have discovered while doing research for this post. So, without further ado let's check out some awesome tools for managing tasks.
Please note, that I am not going to mention big, complex and expensive task management tools like Jira. Such tools are more suitable for bigger teams and are not that easy to start with right away. But who knows, maybe we'll review Jira too at some point, so if you're interested - please subscribe to our newsletter!
Trello is quite simple and straightforward, yet powerful. It was purchased by Atlassian, the same company, which developed Jira, Confluence (popular team collaboration tools used by bigger companies) and bought Bitbucket.
A lot of people are using Trello for personal tasks because it is so user-friendly. However, according to Trello team, their app is used by companies and organizations like NASA, Google, Adobe, National Geographic, Kickstarter and others. This means that it is definitely worth taking a look at.
The best thing about it is how flexible it is and how it doesn't force one way to use it on you. You can adjust it to your needs. In my opinion, the free version of Trello is perfect for personal tasks or small projects.
How to use
Here is how the main kanban board looks like:
At first, it will be completely empty. You can create more columns by clicking "Add another list" and come up with a custom name for it. Then add cards with tasks and if necessary lists within tasks. You can set description, due date, add labels, members, checklist, comments for each task. When you are ready to move a task to another column, simply drag and drop it to another column. If you no longer wish to have a task on the board, you can archive it.
The free membership plan is usually more than enough for personal use or for small teams.
- Power-ups: right now you can add a calendar, custom fields, maps (attach locations), voting on cards and more power-ups are coming soon! Unfortunately, you can use only one of them if you have a free account
- Possibility to automate cards creation/moving to another column/archiving and many other things. Read more about their Butler here
- Possibility to integrate with tools like Slack and Google Drive
- Very user-friendly app and website
- Getting notifications about changes
- Seeing the history of changes
- Setting different background images
- Possibility to copy aboard
- Assign a user to a task and check, which tasks belong to you
Asana is a very powerful and user-friendly tool to have all the details about your work in one place. People love Asana for its design, integration opportunities, timeline view, awesome checklists, endless awesome features. It is used by Airbnb, Deloitte, GE among other great organizations. So let's take a look at details, shall we?
How to use
You can use Asana in many ways, but when you have a free version, essentially, you have two options: List view and Board view. You also have access to the calendar, status updates, etc.
So with lists, it's quite easy: just add a task/a section and whenever you're done with it, click on the checkbox. Each task can have a person assigned, a due date, a description. Also, it is possible to attach files to each task (Computer, Google Drive, Dropbox - you name it), subscribe to notifications, create sub-tasks, add tags, etc. You can sort and filter tasks, move them up or down, like them, add the whole project to favorites. Another awesome feature is that you can even convert a task into a project.
Some projects look better in a kanban view, like below. Here you can drag and drop tasks around, rename columns, add new tasks and have the same functionality within tasks as in list view. Personally, I prefer this view. You can just mark them as complete whenever you're done.
- Amazing collaboration features. View your tasks in the way you like, attach files, follow them, message team members - Asana does make collaboration easier
- MY FAVOURITE: Asana has templates, ready-made recipes for your tasks or your area of business. Check their templates here.
- Awesome integration with tools you use: Slack, Google Drive, Dropbox, Adobe Creative Cloud
- Great feature, which is, unfortunately, not available in Basic plan: seeing your project as a timeline with due dates of each task, dependencies, and assignees. This gives a perfect overview of the project and lets you check whether you can make it before the deadline
- Very nice design of both the website and the app. User-friendly, interactive. You even get to see a celebration whenever you finish all the tasks, which is a nice touch!
Zenkit is not as famous as Asana and Trello, but it is great and can be even more powerful. This app is unbelievably flexible: you have access to list view, kanban view, calendar, table, and even mind map view. The last one is particularly fascinating. You can easily switch between views in one click! Print your tasks, export them in CSV format, get some add-ons, comment, assign members, customize.
The app lets you create workspaces and collections within each workspace. Download a collection and you won't have to worry about internet connection - the collection with tasks will be available offline.
Also, they have a great possibility to integrate via Zenkit API.
How to use
When you create a workspace and the first collection within this workspace, you will be able to start adding tasks.
These tasks can have a description, a due date, an assignee, some other features. Tasks can be drag-and-dropped anywhere. If you would like to see those tasks in a different view, just click on Views (here it's Kanban) on the upper right corner and choose whichever you like. It's that easy!
Awesome Mind map view - haven't seen this feature anywhere else. Very interactive.
- First of all: mind maps are mind-blowing. Great idea and can be very useful
- Possibility to download tasks and view them offline
- A lot of different views available in the free plan, including a table view, which can be used as a spreadsheet and exported as CSV file
- Various templates, adjusted for different projects, check them out here
- User-friendly design of the website and the app. A lot of features to explore!
Nuclino takes collaboration tools one step further and combines task management with knowledge base creation. The app focuses on creating public or private workplaces (everyone can come up with their own use of them - like separate workplaces for each team), creating collections within workplaces, adding tasks and knowledge bases for each collection. It really focuses on collaboration, so Nuclino is especially perfect for teams, but can also be used by one person. The great part is that you can collaborate in real-time, mention team members, add comments. Graph view gives an amazing visual overview of the workplace. Obviously, Nuclino can be integrated with many useful apps.
How to use
Once you create a workplace, you can create separate collections. I created a sample company CVH as a workplace and company's departments as collections, but you can do whichever way suits you best. Kanban board is easy to use, you can drag and drop clusters to move them, create new clusters. Clusters can be tasks or posts. They can be shared, exported, commented on, moved, archived, etc. Moreover, you have access to a history of changes and can roll back anytime.
Graph view gives you an interactive overview of your whole workplace. And it is fun to work with it. Just click on any node and you can open up details of that task/post. Also, it is possible to move nodes around to spread them and see everything clearly.
In my opinion, it is a great idea to keep the knowledge base and task management in one place. While you're working on tasks, you can always refer to the knowledge base. You can format posts What You See Is What You Get style, add images and files and more. This functionality could also be used for creating meeting reports, agendas or brainstorming sessions. The search bar on the very top allows to quickly locate any file you need.
- Interactive graph view
- Big focus on collaboration: editing at the same time and seeing other person's changes, sharing, mentioning people, exporting files, creating clear instructions and documentation. Instant search and internal links bring this whole knowledge together
- Possibility to create a Knowledgebase and manage tasks within the same app. The app can be truly adjusted to your needs
- Smaller features like version history, hierarchical tags, adding images and files
- Possibility to integrate with Slack, Google G Suite, Microsoft Active Directory, YouTube, Codepen, Prezi and many more
That was a lot of information! But don't worry, we can sum it up very quickly. Which task management app should you choose? It all depends on your needs and your project.
Trello is good to manage your personal tasks. I am sure there are great opportunities in the paid version, where it becomes Jira-like, but it is more suitable for big teams and big projects. I'm using Trello for my personal tasks.
Asana is great for project management, good organization (templates!) and seeing the timeline. In my opinion, this timeline is a particularly useful feature and if I had a bigger team, I think I'd go for Asana for project management.
Zenkit has an awesome feature - mind maps. I think it's cool for visualization and brainstorming. Also, there are so many views of tasks, so different people can work according to their style. Definitely worth trying.
Nuclino is perfect if you have a lot of documentation in your project. Manage instructions, email templates, meeting agendas and tasks in one place. And keep the knowledge updated in your team.

With an offense like Coronado’s that churns out big statistical numbers and regularly lights up scoreboards, there is plenty of attention to go around.
SAN ANGELO -- Frenship stayed red-hot on the way to claiming the championship at the Nita Vannoy Tournament with three more victories on Saturday.
SAN ANGELO -- Coronado and Frenship got the weekend started right with three victories apiece Friday at the Nita Vannoy Classic.
Frenship and Lubbock High went toe-to-toe for a set before the Lady Tigers seized control and wore the Lady Westerners down on the way to a 25-21, 25-16, 25-6 victory Tuesday night.
As the husband of a teacher and father of two daughters, I have learned to understand how quickly each summer blazes by. Doesn’t make it any easier to accept, but I have learned to recognize that the early weeks of August are when the grind really starts to set in.
ABILENE -- Monterey stormed back from an up-and-down opening day at the Bev Ball Tournament to log three victories and take the Silver Bracket championship on Saturday.
SHALLOWATER -- Estacado broke the seal on its 2019 season with a pair of victories in three matches Friday at the BSN Shallowater Tournament.
DENTON -- Lubbock-Cooper roared back from a season-opening loss by dismantling three opponents on the first day of the Denton Ryan Kick-Off Classic on Thursday.
Monterey began the new volleyball season with a bittersweet day Tuesday, topping Greenwood then falling to Tascosa at The New Box.
Summer comes to an early end, with beaches and barbecues replaced by renewed expectations as volleyball teams around Lubbock get the 2019 season rolling in season-opening matches on Tuesday.
This introductory column originally ran on Feb. 4, 2019. Not much has changed, but the last six months have certainly recharged an old sportswriter's batteries.
An uncertain future is a scary thing for a competitive athlete who isn’t ready to reach the finish line. So when two of Lubbock’s best pitchers from the 2019 season were left to wonder what lay ahead and didn’t have a concrete answer, there was some understandable angst.
Intensity and hard work were two of the pillars that Ernest Mims got intimately familiar with when he was a three-sport high school athlete at Palo Duro.
When Sonny Dykes got back home to Texas in December of 2017, there were a handful of things he had to do to get reacquainted with the state where he has spent a good chunk of his life and coaching career.
A frustrating first season of watching & waiting at the college level prompted a transfer to Navarro College where the former Coronado star will play for Scott Parr.
When you think about the term “full-circle,” it makes sense to consider it a journey that starts and ends at the same place. One circular trip to get back where you once were.
If there is something Coronado can count on this fall, it’s that the Mustang offense will do some damage on a regular basis.
Back on a steamy West Texas night last August, Sawyer Robertson was right where he had dreamed of being for an awful long time.
Whenever a high school athlete endures an injury serious enough to cost them playing time, there tends to be a myriad of emotions.
A banner spring on the diamond featured seven of Lubbock’s eight schools punching postseason tickets and five of those advancing at least to the third round -- highlighted by Monterey’s journey to the Class 5A regional final before falling to state champion Colleyville Heritage and Lubbock C…
Three district champions and three second-place crews highlighted the 2019 season in Lubbock and created plenty of strong individual performance along the way.
High school athletes don’t always totally embrace the significance of a moment or the impact they can make.
Summer sports for high school athletes tend to be a casual way to make sure skills stay sharp, maybe with some team-bonding blended in for good measure.
Coronado knows the who and when for its trip to the Adidas Championships | Texas 7-on-7 Tournament this weekend in College Station.
It didn’t take a lot of math proficiency to figure out that Lubbock players would have an impact Saturday in the Greater West Texas Baseball Coaches Association All-Star Game at Pirate Field. Not with 19 players from the Hub City in action in the annual event.
The rich history of Lubbock Independent School Athletics will take a spin in the spotlight Saturday when the Class of 2019 Hall of Honor selections are officially inducted.
Lubbock players will be impossible to miss when the Greater West Texas Baseball Coaches All-Star Games unfolds Saturday at Lubbock-Cooper’s Pirate Field/First United Park.
Season-long dominance in District 3-5A helped Coronado, Monterey and Lubbock-Cooper fill up the 2019 all-district team voted on by the league coaches.
Not much separated the top four teams in District 3-5A this spring, and the all-district teams reflected as much. Amarillo, Coronado, Monterey and Lubbock-Cooper staged a five-week tug-of-war in league play, with the Sandies claiming the championship by a game over the Mustangs and Plainsmen…
An unexpected return provided a nice spark for Coronado on Friday at the McGavock 7-on-7 Tournament.
Seth Parr isn’t looking for a few good young men. He already knows he has several of those in place after another successful campaign in 2018.


AOL New Music featured the indie pop band Parachute, so I gave their debut album Losing Sleep a shot. The band sounds like a lovely cross between Adam Levine and Gavin DeGraw. They recently released their catchy first single "She is Love" and followed it up with "Under Control." The first reminds me of Plain White T's, and the second sounds a lot like if Colbie Caillat and Jason Mraz were lead singers of a band—melodic and passionate.
"She (For Liz)" is also a great track:
My favorite is the beautifully solemn "The Mess I Made" that sounds like a heartbreaking plea for a second chance:

Will Munnabhai do the gig again?
Dia, Junior Bachchan have put in special appearances for this one. Lage Raho Munnabhai score disappointsUpdated: Aug 28, 2006 13:48 IST
The wait is finally over. The good-hearted goon - Munnabhai, who made us guffaw as well as ponder over ills ailing the practice of medicine - returns to the marquees on September 1.
The first part, Munnabhai M.B.B.S, was released with no fanfare whatsoever in the winter of 2003. But it had gone on to become the sleeper blockbuster of the year in addition to setting higher standards for Indian cinema to follow. In fact, Munnabhai M.B.B.S has the unique distinction of being made into a Hollywood film by 20th Century Fox.
Actor Sanjay Dutt as Murli Prasad Sharma aka Munnabhai or Munna supported by Arshad Warsi as the inimitable Circuit will be seen again in Lage Raho Munna Bhai, a movie that is expected to witness a bumper opening.
The much-awaited new chapter in life of the much-loved Munna is attracting mounting enquiries for block bookings weeks before cinema halls open the window for advance booking.
|Munnabhai and Circuit return to the marquees on September 1.|
News reports say the Fame multiplex in Andheri, Mumbai, has already got the first 13 shows houseful on account of bookings through Internet and Short Message Services (SMS).
Expectations from the film by the writer-producer-director team of Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Rajkumar Hirani are sky-high to say the least, according to all trade indicators.
In the sequel, Munna, who confronts every situation with his unique street-wise attitude and humour, goes on an unexpected historical tour that brings him face-to-face with teachings of Mahatma Gandhi.
Much like this year's blockbuster - Rang De Basanti - the filmmakers are apparently trying to establish that the Father of the Nation and his ideals continue to have relevance in today's time.
Once again Arshad is Munna's trusted handyman who fixes everything for him, including his love life.
Among the changes, Boman Irani, who had entertained all as Dr J Asthana in the original, returns in a new avatar in part two. Ditto for Jimmy Shergill.
And Vidya Balan replaces Gracy Singh, who was Munna's love interest in the original. Dia Mirza is the other new addition and Abhishek Bachchan is rumoured to have put in a special appearance as her screen husband.
In take two Munna falls in love with the voice of popular Radio Jockey Jhanvi, played by Vidya. Complications arise when Jhanvi mistakes our good-hearted goon for a professor of history and forces him to give a lecture to her family.
As Munna tries to sort out this 'minor' entanglement in his otherwise perfect life, Circuit comes up with a bright solution. And then, the most unusual thing occurs in Munna's life including an interface with Gandhi.
Shantanu Moitra's score for Lage Raho Munna Bhai is nothing to write home about. But it is very likely it picks up once its situation or scenario is more obvious, once the film hits the theatre.
Unlike the original in which the novel characterisations were the best part of the film, the sequel has to deal with the fact that it has little surprises to offer.
Meeting expectations from the film to entertain as much as the original including delivering a social message will be doubly difficult for the film. Here is the hope Munna gets it right second time around, especially, because talks are already underway for part three.
