Parents should be able to send their children to school knowing they will be safe from bacteria and viruses. However, finding out that kindergartens, preschools, and other early childhood care centers are cleaned and sanitized with strong chemicals is concerning for any parent, especially when these harsh chemicals leave residues that children may be exposed to daily.
The COVID-19 virus is compounding the worries of parents. As schools reopen in some regions, school districts are implementing more robust methods of disinfecting their schools and keeping kids safe from infection. But some may not know that one of nature’s best weapons against viruses and bacteria is ozonated water.
Ozone is a strong oxidant that acts as a natural sanitizer. Sanitization using ozone removes the need for dangerous chemical disinfectants and is an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional sanitization products. Ozone acts 3,000 times faster than chlorine and is 50 times more effective. After the sanitization process ozone simply reforms into oxygen molecules, without emitting any harmful by-products.
Ozonated water, or aqueous ozone, has tremendous oxidation and bacteria-killing properties. There are still some misconceptions regarding the safety and efficacy of using ozonated water as a disinfectant. There may be concerns about the side effects of ozone. In this article, we will discuss common misconceptions about ozonated water and how it can keep your early childhood center safe.
How Is Ozonated Water Formed?
When oxygen is treated with a low-voltage current, its molecules break down and then rejoin. This process forms activated oxygen, (O3) known as ozone. Ozone is commonly found in the atmosphere. When ozone is made from water by using an electrolytic ozone generator, the newly-ozonated water becomes a powerful disinfection agent.
Keeping Your Early Childhood Center Safe from Viruses and Bacteria with Ozone
Among the Covid-19 pandemic, maintaining a sanitized environment has become more important than ever. But parents may be concerned about the disinfecting methods schools are adopting and wonder if their children will be kept safe. Here are some safe ways to keep viruses and bacteria at bay, which can help educational centers get back on their feet.
Install ozonated water generators on taps
Using sanitizers and spraying disinfectants every hour is great for high-school students, but how do you keep kindergarten and preschool students safe? Children can be messy and careless, therefore we recommend that schools install ozonated water systems in their plumbing to ensure children wash their hands with ozonated sanitizing water rather than just tap water. The Water Disinfection System (WDS) from BioSure can be installed on a tap and used to generate ozonated water. This allows students to rinse their hands with ozonated water after thoroughly washing them — a crucial final step to help eliminate viral threats.

Maintain a Chemical Free Environment
Conventional industrial chemicals are commonly used to kill bacteria and viruses in large public spaces like schools. However, these chemicals can be harmful to children who can be sensitive to their harsh odors and chemical residues. Chemical sanitizers release harmful gases that have a pungent smell, making it difficult for some to breathe. Moreover, these chemicals, over time, can cause health conditions such as asthma. Ozonated water is a better alternative for early childhood centers as it is odorless and colorless, making it the safest choice for use in schools. Additionally, ozonated water has high oxidation properties that can remove toxic elements.
Use an Environmentally Friendly Disinfecting Solution
Educational institutes have a responsibility for providing a safe learning environment. Using chemical products can leave chemical residues that damage the environment. One of the biggest downsides of chemical-based cleaning products is that they end up in natural waterways after being used to clean. Research shows that every year the average American uses 40 pounds of toxic chemicals for cleaning that harm our natural environment.
While ozonated water is considered to be 3,000 times more powerful than bleach, it is an environmentally friendly disinfecting solution that’s safe for humans and harmless to the environment when discarded. Since ozonated water quickly reverts back to clean, pure water, it does not harm the environment in any way.
Disinfect Playground Surfaces
Children spend a large part of their time outside the classroom on the playground. The playground, however, is a red-zone for viruses and bacteria since it’s out in the open. Use an ozone spray bottle such as the OSB from BioSure to spray playground surfaces with high-concentration ozonated water that’s still safe for kids. Spraying ozonated water on play equipment before recess can minimize the chances of catching deadly diseases from surface contact with slides, swings, and other playground equipment.
As a second layer of defense, installing ozonated water taps can minimize viral infection risks from the playground. This way, children can wash their hands before and after going to the playground by using disinfecting ozonated water.
◀ Ozone Spray Bottle Pro
Benefits in Using Ozonated Water for Preschools and Early Childhood Centers
Ozonated water has been used in commercial cleaning for more than a decade and has been used to disinfect municipal water sources for almost a century. Businesses and homeowners have found there are real benefits compared to using chemical disinfection agents. Here are some benefits to using ozone generators for early kindergartens and early childhood centers.
Ozonated Water is Safe For Children
Although ozonated water has been used for a hundred years, it’s only relatively recently emerged as a mainstream sanitizing agent. Using ozonated water for disinfection is entirely safe. Its oxidizing properties are able to kill water-based pathogens that even chlorine can’t eliminate.
Ozonated water or misting ozone from a Space Sanitizer System (SSS) by BES is safer to use around children than chemical sanitizers that leave pungent odors and residues. Ozonated water has activated oxygen molecules that are highly reactive but revert back to clean, pure water in just minutes, leaving no such chemical residues. It can be prepared on sight, so there is no need to transport and store it, as you would with large vats of chemical sanitizers.
◀ Space Sanitizer System Plus
Ozonated Water Has no Odor
Ozonated water is odorless and releases no odors even after making contact with surfaces. Meanwhile, chemical sanitizers like chlorine have strong odors that can irritate eyes and nasal passages for hours after being used. Young learners are particularly sensitive to these chemicals and may not have a strong enough immune system to fight off allergies and irritation from these chemicals.
Ozonated Water Saves Money
With the widespread use of hand sanitizers made from 75% alcohol spray, preschools and childcare centers are racking up the high costs of stocking enough of these chemical sanitizers for potentially hundreds or thousands of students and staff. With an electrolytic ozone generator that attaches to a water line, students can simply turn on the tap and have an endless supply of hand sanitizer available. This substantially cuts down costs over the long term for schools that are taking measures to protect their students from viruses and bacteria.
As COVID-19 infections increase worldwide, educators have to do their part to keep themselves and others, especially our children — safe from infection. Ozonated water is a solution that is both safe for young kids and better for the environment. It’s also more economical over time and extremely effective, even when compared to strong chemical cleaning agents. Let’s give our kids the best chance of staying healthy during these uncertain times. Installing ozonated water systems in childhood care centers is a smart and easy way to keep learning environments safe.

Like many of you, I was affected by the faulty high pressure a/c hose design on my 2014 Silverado. Fortunately for me it was only February in Texas and I barely needed it. Even more fortunately though, I still had 80 miles left on my CPO warranty so I didn't have to haggle with the dealer about repair costs. We'll see how long my condenser cooperates as I figure it's next to go on the A/C system. While my truck was in the shop the dealer loaned me a fully-loaded (of course) 2018 Sierra with a 5.3 for a day. Once I got over the Sierra having just about every bell and whistle my rig didn't have, I noticed just how good the acceleration was compared to my truck. So much so that I was convinced that GM had bumped the horsepower/torque ratings between 2014 and 2018. Once I verified that they hadn't, I went on a fact finding mission to figure out why this truck drove like a beast on acceleration while mine felt like a 4 cylinder. I had researched buying a pedal controller to see if that would help my lousy tip-in on acceleration but simply could not justify the cost. I did know that I was tired of the lackluster get-up-and-go of the first 1/3 of the pedal travel of my truck--especially after my experience with this peppy loaner. The first modification I made to my truck after buying it was to shim under the lower portion of the metal assembly that the accelerator pedal attaches to as I had been following this forum and knew it had been identified as a problem. I opted for using half of a clothespin which took 99% of the flex out of the pedal assembly, so I knew that was not my problem. Instead, I crawled under my loaner 2018 Sierra's dash and took a picture of the part number on the gas pedal assembly--it was GM# 23362231. Once I got my truck back, I peeked at the number on its pedal assembly and it was GM# 20972082. After some research I could not determine when this older number got superseded, but I knew if the price was right I'd buy the new part number and see if it helped my truck. I picked one up off a well known auction site for about $54 and installed it the day I got it. I waited almost two months to share this because I wanted to verify that it improved my acceleration for real and not just in my imagination. I can definitively say, for my truck, that the initial acceleration has improved noticeably. I will even go so far as to say that the low-speed transmission shifts that seemed to startle the truck into what I would call "panicked shifting" garbage-truck-style have improved about 80%. Once I get a my valves cleaned by a shop that has the BG cleaner I think it will accelerate like the 2018 I was loaned. The swap of the pedals is pretty simple. Two 10mm bolts on the lower left and upper right as shown in the attached picture. A 1/4 inch deep well socket with a small extension did the trick. The upper right bolt is a bit of a stretch but not too bad.I unplugged the old one and plugged in the new one and put the bolts back in. I did not do a side-by-side multi-meter test of these pedals to verify the voltages with pedal travel because I did not have an electrical diagram of the several contacts in the wiring harness connector on the pedals. I started to try and it was simply futile. So I just installed the new part and took it for a test drive. To repeat, the new GM Part Number is 23362231 and it worked for my 2014 Silverado with the 5.3. I hope that these results can be duplicated (and enjoyed) by you folks in the forum. I like my truck a lot better now since this "upgrade." If anyone else tries this, please report your results!
Hi all, my Sierra went into reduced power mode a few weeks ago and I replaced the accelerator pedal position sensor after reading P1125. The code went away immediately and all was well. Today, my car went back into limp mode. I took the tape off my APPS connector wires and they seem to be in fine condition, the guy must have just wanted to keep them bundled together. After unplugging my apps, I plugged it back in and it got out of limp mode and I was able to drive it for like 5 miles until it went back into REP. Same code, 1125. Again, I tried unplugging/plugging the connector back in and the code is gone. Any thoughts as to why it keeps going back to reduced power and goes away for a bit after unplugging and plugging the APPS back in?

The former owner and manager of a Halifax nursing home have been accused of accepting a system of poor pressure sore care resulting from staff and equipment shortages.
Police and health officials went into Philip Bentley's Elm View premises back in October 2011 and yesterday a jury heard allegations that at-risk residents were not regularly turned or taken to the toilet and the home did not have enough equipment such as pressure relieving mattresses.
Bentley, 65, of Woodthorpe Drive, Sandal, Wakefield, has denied charges relating to the alleged neglect of three elderly women who developed pressure sores at the home in 2011.
The homes former manager 49-year-old Faheza Simpson, of Huddersfield Road, Holmfirth, has also denied those three neglect charges and a further neglect allegation relating to a man who suffered pressure sores while staying at the home for a week.
The jury at Bradford Crown Court began hearing closing speeches from prosecution and defence counsel.
Prosecutor Nicholas Askins said the four complainants were provided with a degree of care while at the home, but he alleged that it was plainly inadequate.
Mr Askins highlighted the evidence of former employees at the home who alleged that it was so short of staff in 2011 that they were unable to do all the work required.
Simpson's barrister Michelle Colborne QC said her client had only had five days off work in the six weeks leading up to the police visit to the home which had 22 residents at the time.
She alleged that Simpson was lacking vital support, equipment and resources and was not coping with her workload.
''Faheza Simpson, you may readily accept, was battling with staff who would not follow instructions and were blatantly undermining her and a boss who didn't care either way,'' Miss Colborne told the jury.
The trial continues.

Scots are being encouraged to visit farms and buy local food during their summer staycations this year as part of a new campaign.
Red meat levy body Quality Meat Scotland (QMS) has teamed up with Scottish Agritourism and VisitScotland to encourage people to visit farms and crofts for day trips or their holidays, and to buy local food and drink including Scotch Beef and Scotch Lamb.
The six-week campaign, run under the Go Rural brand, will encourage travellers to try out agritourism, support local businesses and enjoy Scottish produce.
“Around 80% of our agritourism members produce Scotch Beef and Scotch Lamb and we are seeing an increase in demand for being able to enjoy tasty meat on a BBQ as part of a farm visit, taking part in unique field to fork dining experiences or having a full stocked fridge with local produce as part of a holiday,” said Scottish Agritourism sector lead Caroline Millar.
“Working with QMS and VisitScotland on this campaign will help to support many hundreds of agritourism businesses across Scotland to drive sales as well as raising the profile of the Go Rural brand as a trusted source when booking an agritourism experience.”
QMS director of marketing and communications, Lesley Cameron, said the campaign would promote field to fork at its finest.
She said: “The activity will allow visitors to learn where their food comes from and further their appreciation about the fantastic countryside and farms we have in Scotland.
“We are looking forward to reaching consumers with recipe inspiration, hints and tips, encouraging them to buy and enjoy red meat as part of their Scottish agritourism experience.”
VisitScotland’s director of marketing and digital, Vicki Miller, said agritourism had grown in popularity in recent years and the campaign would build on this by encouraging visitors to seek out local produce to further immerse themselves in the place they are visiting.
She added: “VisitScotland is focused on the recovery of the industry, building a destination and visitor experience which allows tourism and events to flourish now and in the future. We’ll continue to work with, and support, businesses to ensure we rebuild this vital part of Scotland’s economy.”

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong is gathering momentum on his quest to become the new face of cryptocurrency in the United States. After Sam Bankman-Fried’s scandalous fall from grace and the collapse of the FTX crypto exchange, the blockchain industry desperately needs a new champion.
Brian Armstrong is doing what every other crypto founder promised to do. Through Coinbase, Armstrong is simplifying cryptocurrency. He’s introducing popular coins like Ethereum to retail investors and onboarding millions of new users into the Web3 world.
Is Brian Armstrong a positive influence on the crypto industry, or is he just another Bitcoin billionaire? Who is the smiling co-founder behind the world’s most accessible crypto exchange?
Who is Brian Armstrong?
Brian Armstrong is the CEO and co-founder of Coinbase, one of the largest exchanges in the cryptocurrency industry. He’s also a respected advocate for blockchain technology and its potential. Considered a thought leader within the space, Armstrong is a popular guest on crypto podcasts and discussion panels.
The Coinbase chief executive always had a keen interest in technology and programming. Brian Armstrong enrolled at Rice University in 2001, where he first completed a dual bachelor’s degree. Majoring in economics and computer science, Armstrong also launched a business within the university that paired tutors and students.
After his undergraduate degree, Armstrong continued his studies and completed a master’s in computer science. He briefly worked for an education company in Buenos Aires, where he saw firsthand how uncontrolled inflation decimates a local economy.
Bitcoin was not yet a reality, but it was already needed. This experience planted a seed of curiosity in Armstrong, which gave him the conviction he needed to back bitcoin and blockchain technology when it burst onto the internet just a few years later.
Brian Armstrong began his career as a software engineer and developer. He held positions at some of the world’s most recognizable firms, such as IBM and Deloitte. During this time, Satoshi Nakamoto published the Bitcoin whitepaper. Armstrong was fascinated. He began writing software for buying and storing crypto in his spare time.
In 2011, Armstrong joined AirBnb’s team of talented software engineers. At the time, AirBnb was managing over 190 different fiat currencies. International payments and transactions for the business were a nightmare, reinforcing Armstrong’s belief that digital currency was the ideal solution.
The Birth of Coinbase
While he wasn’t interested in mining, Armstrong’s entrepreneurial side saw the value in managing Bitcoin transactions and holders for others who struggled with the technical side of blockchain technology. He’d already been writing his own code for crypto management and presented his findings to Y Combinator, who funded Armstrong $150,000 to continue developing the project.
Brian Armstrong trawled the internet looking for his perfect co-founder. After over 50 attempts, he finally found Fred Ehrsam in a crypto subreddit. In 2012 they launched their startup and co-founded the Coinbase we know today.
Coinbase: A Publicly Traded Crypto Exchange
Coinbase has proved a roaring success since it launched back in 2012. The crypto exchange claims to host over 110 million verified users. Expanding beyond trading and storage, Coinbase has opened the possibilities of extra features, like its own NFT marketplace, crypto wallet, and staking services.
In December 2020, Coinbase filed a listing with the SEC and became a publicly traded entity. The company’s COIN stock debuted on the NASDAQ stock exchange in April 2021 with a valuation of $85 billion.
Trouble in Paradise
It hasn’t been smooth sailing despite Coinbase’s evident success and astronomical growth. 2022 was a difficult year for the cryptocurrency industry, with multiple black swan events like the Luna Collapse and FTX insolvency devastating markets. This has led to calls for tightened crypto regulation and a sustained bear market.
The enduring crypto winter meant Brian Armstrong had to make significant restructuring decisions amongst Coinbase employees. Mass crypto job layoffs were inevitable, with the company reducing its headcount by 20% in January 2023. This announcement came just six months after the firm initially severed ties with 20% of its team in June 2022.
Base – The Coinbase Blockchain
For many retail crypto enthusiasts, the world of on-chain transactions and decentralized finance seems remote and complex. In his most recent attempt to bring blockchain technology to the people, Brian Armstrong and Coinbase announced they’d launch their Ethereum scaling solution.
Base will be built using Optimism’s OP Stack, an open-source development that helps businesses deploy their Layer-2 blockchains using Ethereum and the base layer. Armstrong intends to use the Base blockchain as to platform to onboard Coinbase’s millions of users into the world of on-chain activity, including DeFi and NFTs. The move is widely considered a positive step for the blockchain industry.
On The Flipside
False idols and cult figures plague cryptocurrency history. Sam Bankman-Fried, Do Kwon, and the notorious ‘Bitconnect Guy’ Carlos Matos were all adored and worshipped by their supporters. These very same supporters suffered the most when these ‘leaders’ hollow empires were exposed.
While there is nothing to suggest that Brian Armstrong has bad intentions or is inadequately equipped to run Coinbase, it’s important to always do your due diligence. Blindly supporting charismatic founders has burnt crypto enthusiasts in the past.
Why You Should Care
Coinbase is one of the most well-respected crypto exchanges in the industry. It’s beginner-friendly and has helped bring millions of people into crypto. It’s important to know more about the team and leadership behind Coinbase, which may overtake Binance and become the largest exchange in crypto.
How much is Brian Armstrong worth?
According to Forbes, Brian Armstrong has a net worth of roughly 2.6 billion USD.
How does Coinbase make money?
Coinbase is a cryptocurrency exchange. Therefore, it makes most of its revenue by collecting trading fees from its users.
What did Brian Armstrong do before Coinbase?
Before co-founding Coinbase in 2012 with Fred Ehsram, Brian Armstrong was a software engineer. He previously worked at industry-leading firms like IBM, Deloitte, and AirBnb.
How much of Coinbase does Armstrong own?
Since Coinbase went public in 2021, Armstrong has owned approximately 19% of the company’s total shares.

Lincoln MP Karen Lee has been criticised for deleted online comments, in which she praised Labour’s decision to lift the suspension of Chris Williamson.
Karen Lee posted on her personal Facebook page that she was “chuffed to bits” that Mr Williamson had been readmitted after his suspension for alleged antisemitism.
She has since erased the post, telling reporters she accepts she “did not address the sensitivity of his case”.
Karen Lee previously wrote in full on her Facebook page: “Absolutely chuffed to bits with this news. A principled, kind man who has worked so hard for the Labour party and his constituency. Great to have him back on board.”
We approached Karen Lee for an explanation over the deleted post and were told that she condemns antisemitism.
Karen Lee told The Lincolnite: “Chris is a colleague and was particularly helpful when I succeeded him as Labour’s fire minister.
“I deleted my hastily written post because I did not address the sensitivity of his case.
“I abhor antisemitism in all its forms and I will continue to celebrate and support the Jewish community across the UK.”
Mr Williamson was given a formal warning after saying that the Labour party had been ‘too apologetic’ over antisemitism.
A three-person national executive committee (NEC) panel also warned him that if his behaviour was repeated then it could lead to more severe sanctions.
Chris Williamson MP posted on his official Facebook page: “I’d like to express my heartfelt thanks for the avalanche of goodwill messages from grassroots members.
“I can now focus on representing local people in Derby North and working for a Corbyn-led Labour government to positively transform the lives of millions.”
Karen Lee’s comments came as representatives from the British Jewish community were heavily critical of Labour’s decision.
Amanda Bowman, vice president for the Board of Deputies of British Jews, said: “This is an utter disgrace. Despite years of baiting the Jewish community – calling antisemitism allegations ‘proxy wars and b******t.’
“He has also been actively supporting people suspended and expelled from the party antisemitism, attacking the Board of Deputies on the day of the Pittsburgh attack, and saying that Labour had been ‘too apologetic’ over antisemitism.”

Early stage funding has been tough to come by in recent years, and state cutbacks threaten the economic development entities, Innovation Works and Pittsburgh Life Sciences Greenhouse, which are the most active local investors. Draper Triangle Ventures, based downtown, completed its last fund of $70 million in 2006: That is almost completely invested.
Draper’s new fund was revealed last July when the Commonwealth Financing Authority said it approved a $4 million infusion to Draper’s $100 million fund, Draper Triangle Partners III LLC. Draper Managing Director Jay Katarincic declined comment, but CFA’s release said Draper’s fund will make 15 to 20 investments in seed and early stage technology companies with about $50 million — half the fund’s goal — in western and central Pennsylvania.

The audiophiles over at Original Sound Version have put together a glowing review of Torchlight's soundtrack, which you may recall was scored by Diablo/World of Warcraft veteran Matt Uelmen.
Matt Uelmen has been gone for far too long, and it's great to hear his music again. While his soundtrack for Torchlight is great, especially when it comes to tracks like (Torchlight) and (Mines,) both of which are some of his best work, I would love to hear this stuff redone with a live orchestra, but he certainly did the best with what he had. I can't wait to hear what he does for the MMO that Runic Games will be working on after Torchlight is out there for fans to enjoy.
While there are no official plans on the books to distribute the game's soundtrack, it's entirely possible that the music files might be present in the install folder of the game. I highly recommend checking them out, especially if you're a fan of Uelmen's work on the Diablo series or World of Warcraft.

For once in my life, I find myself in agreement with the Reverend Al Sharpton:
“It would almost be unthinkable for a man who lived such a sensational life to go away quietly,” Sharpton said in an interview from Georgia, where he was making funeral arrangements with Brown’s children.
Sharpton said Brown always knew his place in history.
“He used to tell me, `There are two American originals, Elvis and me,'” Sharpton said. “‘Elvis is gone, and I’ve got to carry on.'”


At times you may run into situations where you want to take a Windows backup on your Mac. It could that you want to get back a file or group of files from old Windows systems on a Macintosh. Nonetheless, it is merely not possible to restore Windows backup files with Time Machine. Instead, you will have to recover using manual techniques. So, in this post discover how to restore Windows backup files on a Macintosh.
How to restore files from Windows file history?
Windows 10 and 8.1 includes the File History feature to backup data or files. If you have set up an external hard drive to store backup files with file history then you can extract them on Mac. Simply connect the external hard drive to Mac and find the folder named File History. Connect the external drive containing Windows backup to Mac. Open up the File History folder and browse the files that you want to revive. Besides this, you can use the Mac finder to get the files under the file history backup folder.
On Windows 7 systems – Here it is quite tricky to get to files in the Windows backup folder. Though tricky and it consumes a little much of time, you can get back the files and copy and transfer to other storage drives. Here as you connect the external storage to Mac OS X, you will get to see the name of your Windows computer. Click on that and find the folder named Backup Set. You can then get through the set of all backup files along with the dates. The files might be in a compressed format; i.e., with .zip extension. Therefore, you will have to extract the files that you want in order to access them.
How to recover backup files from Windows System Image?
If there is system image backup in the drive then you will have WindowsImageBackup and MediaID.bin files in it. However, it is not so easy to get the backup files individually. These files are usually stored in the virtual hard disk and Mac OS X cannot access it. To access them, you will need some mounter application (Paragon Virtual Disk Mounter). After mounting it you can access the VMDK file and continue to access the backup files from the Windows System Image.

It's not just what you eat that can pack on the pounds. It's also how you eat. It seems it pays to be the last person to finish a meal, even if it drives the rest of your dining companions crazy.
Research shows that people who wolf down their meal and eat until they're full are three times more likely to be overweight than those who eat slowly and modestly.
Eating slowly is often advised for weight loss because slower eating allows appetite-related hormones to kick in and tell your brain you've had enough to eat before you overeat. Since it takes roughly 20 minutes for these signals to register, it makes sense that eating quickly can cause you to eat too much before you're fully aware of it.
In one study, researchers from Osaka University in Japan tracked the weights and eating habits of 1,496 men and 2,644 women aged 30 to 69. Participants were asked whether they usually eat until feeling full (yes or no) and to rate the speed of eating (very slow, slow, medium, or quickly).
Both types of eating behaviours were common among men and women. The eating until full group was twice as likely to have a body mass index classified as overweight compared to those who stopped eating before feeling full. (A body mass index, or BMI, of 25 or more is considered overweight.) The eating quickly group was also twice as likely to be overweight than those who ate more slowly.
But the combination of eating habits - eating until full and eating quickly - caused what the researchers termed a "supra-additive" effect on body weight. Engaging in both habits boosted the risk of being overweight by threefold.
Earlier studies have also revealed that fast eaters consume more calories and at a rate 3.5 times faster than slow eaters.
Eating slowly and savouring food may also explain, in part, why rates of obesity are lower in France than North America, despite a fatty diet. A 2003 study reported that the average American McDonald's customer spent 35% less time at the table. The French spent 22.2 minutes eating and sitting at McDonald's, while Americans left the table in 14.4 minutes.
Until recently, we didn't have the opportunity to eat enough calories to promote fat storage. But today a number of factors predispose us to overeat and eat too fast: super-sized portions of processed and fast foods, fewer family meals together, and multi-tasking meals with other activities like watching TV or driving.
It can be challenging to eat slowly, but it's not impossible. Changing the way you eat requires concentration and awareness. The following tips will help you slow your eating pace, savour your food, and possibly even lose a few excess pounds.
To help fill your stomach, drink 8 to 12 ounces (250 to 375 ml) of water before eating your meal. Take sips of water between bites.
Pause between bites
After every bite, put down your knife and fork and chew thoroughly. Do not pick up your utensils until your mouth is 100% empty. Chewing food thoroughly also leads to better digestion.
Assess your hunger level
Listening to your body's hunger cues can help reduce your calorie intake. Determine how hungry - or satisfied - you feel before you eat, halfway through a meal, and after you finish eating. Stop eating when you feel satisfied, but not full (level 5 on the chart below).
Use smaller plates
Instead of piling your food on a large dinner plate, serve meals on luncheon-sized plates. The plate will look full and you'll end up eating less.
Push your plate away as soon as you feel satisfied. Don't pick at food left on other people's plates or take second helpings. To resist the temptation to eat seconds, don't serve food "family style" and cook only one serving per person.
Brush your teeth
To prevent nibbling while cleaning up after meals - and snacking after dinner - brush your teeth after eating to dampen the flavours of the meal. Chances are, your craving for more food will pass.
If you feel famished, you're more likely to eat quickly and more food than you need. Go no longer than four hours without eating to prevent becoming overly hungry. Include between meal snacks such as fruit and yogurt, a handful of almonds, or a small energy bar.
Plan family meals
Sit down to meals with your partner or family and make conversation part of the meal. Talking during a meal slows down the rate of food consumption. Studies also suggest that more family meals mean less fried and sugary foods and more fruits and vegetables.
Eating in front of the TV, while reading, or while driving leads to mindless eating - and overeating. Reserve the kitchen or dining room table for meals and pay attention to the fact you're eating.
Dine to music
If you overeat when you're anxious, stressed or depressed, consider turning on your stereo during meals. Research shows that listening to music can help reduce anxiety, irritability, fatigue and depression. To slow your eating pace, choose mellow music. Calm music with a slower beat helps you relax and slow down eating.
How hungry are you?
Use the following scale you rate your hunger level before, during and after meals.
1 You feel starving. You can't concentrate and need food now.
2 You feel hungry but you could wait a few minutes before eating.
3 You feel slightly hungry. You could eat something, but not a large meal.
4 Your hunger has almost disappeared. You could eat another bite.
5 You are no longer hungry. You feel satisfied, not full.
6 You feel slightly full.
7 You feel overly full and uncomfortable. Your waistband is noticeably tighter.
8 You feel stuffed, bloated, even a little nauseas (a.k.a. "Thanksgiving Day" full).

Buy now pay later: young risk debt using ‘predatory’ credit-linked discounts
Major online retailers have been accused of “predatory tactics” in encouraging young people to rack up debt by offering discounts if they sign up to buy now, pay later schemes.
Shops such as Asos, JD Sports, Millets and Blacks have offered discounts to customers if they pay using popular buy now, pay later (BNPL) services such as Klarna and Clearpay.
Martin Lewis, a financial campaigner, told The Times that he was worried that increased use of the schemes would “catastrophise the finances of young people”.
Charities, MPs and campaigners have called for the retailers to stop offering the discounts and for the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to take action as part of a review it is conducting into unregulated credit.

DC Takes Federal Largesse, but Rejects Law Enforcement Help
Last updated 9/2/2020 at 11:37am
Protesters in the nation’s capital—one of the largest recipients of federal aid—became a rowdy mob Thursday night outside the White House after the conclusion of President Donald Trump’s acceptance speech during the Republican National Convention.
Harassed guests who were present for the president’s speech credited officers of the Metropolitan Police Department with protecting them as they departed the White House.
D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser has rejected additional federal help in law enforcement despite the unrest that swept the District in the past two months.

Rumors surrounding Grand Theft Auto 6 have been remarkably quiet as of late.
Following on from a Kotaku article published earlier this year that reported the sequel to be in active (but early) development, the usual onslaught of hearsay and unverified leaks have since appeared to run dry. That could be a result of Rockstar finally patching the apparent leak from which all of this information has been spreading, though we imagine it to be far more likely that such claims have steadily been attracting less attention and more scepticism. Indeed, fans have as much official knowledge about GTA 6 now as several years ago and, sadly, the situation doesn’t appear to be changing anytime soon.
Considering the recent confirmation from Rockstar that Grand Theft Auto V will be making yet another jump between console generations (it originally launched for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, remember) with the launch of Series X and PS5, it’s looking more likely than ever that the developer is still a ways off from revealing GTA 6.
It comes as somewhat of a surprise, then, that a new post has recently surfaced on Reddit claiming to have inside knowledge about the franchise’s future. Stating that their roommate is a former employee of the company, MarkoTheMexicam reveals the following information:
- Grand Theft Auto 6 is set in Vice City during an undetermined time period.
- While they didn’t work directly on the project, the roommate in question supposedly contributed to weather systems. Specifically how they interact with the game world and NPCs.
- An official announcement is tentatively scheduled to be made within the next 12 months though the lack of a deadline means plans can change.
Are these some of the flimsiest claims made so far? You bet, though where this particular ‘leak’ differs to others is the inclusion of additional details concerning GTA Online. If you fancy reading a brief work of fiction over your lunch break, hit the link below.
Grand Theft Auto 6 is rumored to be in development for next-gen consoles.

Microsoft Shared Financial Data Of Indians With US Intelligence; Indian Banks Knew This
This raises a major question mark on data privacy of Indians.
As per an exclusive report by DNA Money, it has been revealed that Microsoft, world’s 3rd largest company and one the torch-bearers of IT revolution globally, has shared financial data of Indias with US intelligence agencies.
RBI has observed this, and have questioned banks about this data sharing practice.
The most interesting aspect: Indian banks knew about this, but remained silent.
This raises several questions about data privacy of Indians, and how banks are willingly allowing global MNCs to compromise with it.
There are more than 100 million users of Microsoft’s Office 365 suite, which bundles an email client among other popular software such as Microsoft Word, Powerpoint and others.
Among these users are most of the Indian banks, which uses this software, and have come into agreement with Microsoft.
As per this agreement, Microsoft is bound to share data with US intelligence agencies, if need arises. Hence, using this clause, it seems that Microsoft has shared Indian banks’ customers data with US intelligence.
But How Am I Affected?
Say I am a customer of SBI, which is using Office 365 Suite provided by Microsoft. This means SBI employees use this cloud-based email service to communicate.
Now, if any US Intelligence agency wants me to track, and know about my financial details, then they can ask Microsoft to share my data which SBI has.
And Microsoft will willingly do so, even if they don’t have ethical or moral right to do so. But since SBI has signed a contract with Microsoft to use their Office 365 suite, they can poke into any customer’s data which resides with their cloud service and hand it over to US Intelligence agencies.
Is This A Risk For Banks?
Ofcourse! A huge, massive risk of data and privacy violation. The customer, that is me, have never allowed Microsoft to access my SBI data, but they are doing so.
RBI has understood the grave danger this possess, and this is the reason they have mentioned this is Risk Assessment Report (RAR), and have asked banks’ audit committees to respond.
In their report, RBI said, “All the mailboxes had been migrated to office 365 Microsoft cloud environment. It was gathered from the Microsoft transparency hub that Microsoft is bound to share customers’ data under US Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and US national security letters as and when required by the US authorities.”
But Were Banks Aware Of This?
The most interesting aspect is that yes. All the banks which are using Microsoft’s Office 365 Suite were fully aware of this data sharing agreement of Microsoft, but remained silent.
When DNA Money contacted banks about this, then only SBI and Bank of Baroda have responded. As per SBI’s reply, no such requests to share data was made by Microsoft in 2016 and 2017; but one request was made in 2018, and it turned out that the customer was not from SBI.
Bank Of Baroda has made a generic statement: “Protecting the interests of our esteemed customers is of paramount importance to us. The bank’s ‘systems and operations’ are robust – we stand committed to protecting our customers’ interests, and we have all the necessary systems in place to ensure the same.”
Microsoft has responded on this, and have confirmed that if there is a legal procedure, they will share their users’ data.
The statement said, “No government has direct access to any of our users’ data. Data privacy is a top priority for us. We never provide customer data unless we receive a legally valid warrant, order or subpoena about specific accounts or individual identifiers that we have reviewed and consider legally appropriate and consistent with the rule of law and our Microsoft principles. Absent extraordinary circumstances, in the vast majority of cases we redirect governments to seek data directly from commercial customers or to allow us to tell our commercial customers when the government seeks their data.”
This can snowball into a major controversy, as financial data of Indians is being shared with a foreign nation, by a reputed IT company. There are so many US based cloud service providers in India, and if this can happen with Microsoft, this can happen with anyone.
We will keep you updated, as more details come in.

COLUMBUS, Ohio – During National Diabetes Awareness Month, health professionals are trying to get the message out about a serious complication that often comes with the disease – diabetic foot ulcers, or DFUs.
Dr. Gary Gibbons, a vascular surgeon, says several things cause DFUs.
One is diabetic neuropathy, which is when the nerves in diabetics are affected by sugar and it causes loss of sensation in the foot.
Many diabetics also have circulation problems, and often wound healing is much slower in those with diabetes.
Gibbons says 29 million Americans are diagnosed as diabetic, and another 8 million have diabetes but don’t know it.
“We have another 80 million people with prediabetes who can develop the complications and foot ulcers are a significant complication,” he points out. “About 25 percent of diabetics will have some type of foot problem or ulcer during their lifetime.”
About 1.3 million Ohioans have diabetes, and another 3 million have prediabetes, which means they’re at risk of developing the disease.
Native Americans, African-Americans, Hispanics and older men are more likely to develop foot ulcers, along with people who use insulin, or have diabetes-related kidney, eye or heart disease.
Gibbons says we can do something to prevent diabetes.
“Diabetes is actually going up about 1 percent per year,” he states. “Probably the greatest two reasons is faulty diet and lack of exercise.”
Gibbons says as soon as someone is diagnosed with diabetes, he or she should be careful because ulcers can lead to amputations and even death.
“Yes, you can exercise and you certainly can diet, but it’s really looking at your feet, taking care of your feet and realizing that foot complications are a common occurrence,” he explains.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says diabetes is the seventh leading cause of death in the United States, killing nearly 80,000 people every year.

DRUG & ALCOHOL REHAB HELP REQUEST FORM
Fill out the form and a counselor will respond shortly.
Drug Rehab in Shreveport, Louisiana
People who are hooked on drugs or alcohol may not reach out for the help they require, before it is far too late. Loved ones usually have to intervene to get them help, and it is important that anyone trying to find effective drug treatment understand what types of drug rehab in Shreveport, LA. are available and which of them will prove most beneficial. Not all drug rehab in Shreveport is the same, as an example you can find short term alcohol and drug rehab facilities and long-term facilities, as well as outpatient and inpatient facilities. There's also residential facilities, and this type of drug rehab in Shreveport, Louisiana is an ideal environment for individuals who go with a long-term rehabilitation option, because they will be in drug rehab in Shreveport, LA. for some time and these kinds of facilities offer lots of the comforts and amenities of home.
A lot of people searching for drug rehab in Shreveport or their family who are trying to find a rehabilitation option prefer programs and rehabilitation facilities that will return the addicted person home and also to their typical lives immediately. Obviously anyone that is in drug and alcohol rehabilitation would like to make it through the process and get to their commitments, loved ones, etc. as soon as possible. That is why outpatient and short-term drug rehab in Shreveport, Louisiana looks like the best rehab selection for addicted individuals in addition to their families. In many cases however, individuals develop a deep physical and in many cases psychological dependency to drugs and alcohol which makes these seemingly convenient drug rehab in Shreveport, LA. choices unworkable.
While initially in any sort of drug rehab in Shreveport, those who are recently abstaining from drugs and alcohol are detoxed and preferably assisted through this, with withdrawal made a bit easier with the assistance of detox specialists. Even though someone is detoxed however, they are still likely to experience intense cravings to drink or use drugs, cravings which can persist for many years. A lot of people claim that they experience such cravings throughout their lives, but ideally cope through them with the life tools and effective coping methods they obtain within an effective Shreveport, Louisiana drug rehab. Let's say someone is within an outpatient drug rehab in Shreveport, LA. while still experiencing these intense cravings, and return home on a daily basis during rehab. Research indicates that substance abuse is often times triggered by environmental elements, for example life stressors, or even people their environment who may trigger it. This could be an abusive relationship, somebody that promotes and participates in the person's habit or another situation which could cause the individual to turn to drugs or alcohol as a social aid, as an escape or to self medicate. This will make an outpatient situation the least ideal, since the whole purpose of drug rehab in Shreveport should be to resolve all of these situations while there. This is why relapses are very common with outpatient drug rehab.
Also, short-term drug rehab in Shreveport, Louisiana which offers treatment for thirty days or fewer are truly the least ideal rehab settings even if receiving inpatient or residential treatment. As stated earlier, those who have recently abstained from alcohol and drugs need quite a bit of time to recover physically and also stabilize from the dependence caused by their drug abuse. After only a few weeks, individuals in drug rehab in Shreveport, LA. are just adjusting to a drug free lifestyle, and figuring out how to adjust physically, mentally, and emotionally without their drug of choice. This leaves not much time to enable them to clearly target what can actually assist them to maintain a drug-free and healthy way of life when they return home, and this can take quite some time for many who may need to make considerable and life changing decisions and changes in lifestyle.
Long-term drug rehab in Shreveport is an excellent rehabilitation option for numerous reasons, but first and foremost it offers the much needed change of environment along with the intensity of treatment needed for many who wish to reap all the benefits of rehab and be able to sustain these successes when they return home to their normal lives. Long-term drug rehab in Shreveport, Louisiana is available in either an inpatient or residential treatment center, with the principal differences being inpatient provides rehabilitation services for individuals who make require medical treatment as part of their treatment process. This may be true for someone that's suffering from a physical ailment or life threatening disease which has been worsened due to their drug abuse, or someone that might need help being weaned from medical drugs which they have become dependent to.
When it comes to long-term residential drug rehab in Shreveport, LA., these facilities offer lots of the comforts of home therefore the individual can feel relaxed during the often lengthy drug treatment process. Even though it is hard to be away from family members while in rehabilitation for many months, such a program can make it much easier to endure through the process. And after all, the sacrifice makes it worth it in the end once the individual can return home ready to live a happy, productive and drug-free lifestyle.
Anyone considering what sort of drug rehab in Shreveport they will ultimately take part in or should they be making this decision for a loved one should understand that there are several kinds of different treatment approaches, not just the conventional 12-step and disease model facilities. Alternative centers offer many benefits unavailable at programs and facilities which offer only 12-step or the like, like holistic rehabilitation and treatment which offers a lasting solution which isn't even the goal at other centers. Because holistic and also other alternative drug rehab in Shreveport, Louisiana provide drug free rehab and don't operate from the disease model, they really "cure" a person's drug abuse, and don't offer only a fix which will need to be continually monitored and managed. So consider alternative drug rehab in Shreveport, LA. as a primary treatment option, preferably in a long-term residential or inpatient rehab setting.

Inline Fan Overview:
An inline fan is a versatile ventilation system that allows users to control its speed based on specific conditions. The fan can be adjusted in three distinct ways, offering flexibility in operation.
a. Temperature and Humidity Control: Users can configure the fan to respond to temperature and/or humidity changes. By setting high and low points for temperature or humidity, the fan will adjust its speed accordingly (refer to the fan theory section for detailed examples).
b. Manual On/Off Times: Users have the option to manually set desired on and off times for the fan operation.
c. Cycle Settings: Users can define specific cycle times for the fan to turn on and off at regular intervals.
Fan Setting Theories:
Temperature-Triggered Fan Speed: Users can establish a high temperature trigger and a transition temperature. When the ambient temperature reaches the high trigger, the fan starts to speed up. A transition temperature is set, and the fan accelerates by 10% for each transition step. This process continues until the fan reaches 100% speed. A similar mechanism applies in reverse for low temperature settings. It's crucial for users to set a neutral fan speed within the normal operating range.
Example: If a user sets a high trigger at 80 degrees with a 3-degree transition, the fan speeds up by 10% at 80 degrees, 10% more at 83 degrees, and so forth, until reaching 100% speed.
Temperature and Humidity Spread Adjustment: Users can define high and low points for both temperature and humidity. The fan automatically adjusts its speed levels to match the temperature and humidity spread within the specified range. The larger the spread, the more significant each speed adjustment becomes.
Example: If a user sets a low temperature of 60 degrees and a high point of 80 degrees (20-degree spread), the fan adjusts by 10% for every 2 degrees of temperature change. This process continues until 100% speed is reached at the high set point. Adjusting the high temperature setpoint to 90 degrees changes the speed adjustment to every 3 degrees of temperature change.

Life wasn’t so great for these Great Danes.
Police and animal advocates rescued 84 of the huge hounds as they lived in squalor inside a gated Wolfeboro, NH, mansion that was operating as a puppy mill, according to the New Hampshire Union Leader.
Feces and urine so thickly covered the floor of the eight-bedroom, nine-bathroom, $1.45 million manse that dogs were sliding around in it when they were discovered, the paper reported.
“It was horrifying in and of itself, but I’ve never seen conditions like this in a house of that magnitude,” said Lindsay Hamrick, state director for the Humane Society of United States.
Cops arrested Christina Fay, 60, of Wolfeboro and charged her with two misdemeanor counts of neglect. She was released on bail on condition she does not possess any animals while charges against her are pending, the Leader reported.
Cops also seized nine dogs that Fay kept in nearby Bartlett.
Fay was living with two other adults in the mansion, but they have not been arrested, the paper reported.
Police began an investigation in early May but did not retrieve the Danes sooner because they needed to line up resources to treat the massive dogs, some of whom weigh up to 300 pounds, according to the Leader.
Rescuers needed a tractor-trailer and two horse trailers to haul the hounds away.

Lucky dad wins €500k after buying a €20 scratch card
THE luck of the Dubs may not have been with the hurlers at the weekend but one native of the capital was lucky enough to win €500,000 on a scratch card.
As a result, a son of the lotto winner does not have to emigrate.
The lucky scratch card cost him €20.
The dad-of-four, who doesn't wish to be named, said that the €500,000 jackpot will make a world of difference to him and his family.
"One of the kids was looking at having to go away for work, and now I'm able to help them out so they can stay at home," he said.
"I nearly sold our home a few months ago, and now I can pay off the mortgage and credit cards," he added.
Winning the jackpot left the Dublin man stunned.
He said he thought the winnings were actually €50,000 until his wife pointed out that the prize was actually 10 times that.
"I took it home and showed it to my wife and she pointed out that it was €500,000, not €50,000," he said.
The win was the fortunate man's second in a matter of weeks.
"I'd been lucky a few weeks ago on a scratch card when I'd won €1,000, so I thought I'd try my luck again with the same one," he explained.
His family had different reactions to the news that he had won the huge cash prize.
"My daughter said, 'are you sure that's not a dud dad?'" he said.
The man struck it lucky on an All Cash Extravaganza that he picked up at a service station in Lusk last Friday.
The winner is now excitedly planning his first holiday in years with his other half.
"I haven't been on one for years and my passport had expired," he said, adding that "the passport application is all filled out and ready to go".
The half a million euro jackpot is the largest ever to been won on a National Lottery scratch card.

Five years separated Bob Hoskins’ work in Who cheated on roger rabbit? with his role in the movie Super Mario Bros. Five years that the amazing artist Rachael Moceri he wanted to pay tribute to him 28th anniversary from one of the most infamous movies in the video game world.
Uniting both worlds in a collection of spectacular and promising images promising to continue to gain weight with new creations, the artist combines the best of both worlds with her particular style cartoon from the 90s. Here you have the trailer from the movie, to remind you of old times.

The images They have no waste and those that have remained in the pipeline like the one you have under these lines are just as promising. It’s worth keeping a close eye on her to see how she continues her work and if she ends up gifting us with more wallpapers.
For now it is unknown what style they will follow Illumination Y Nintendo to shape the mythical characters of the new film, but hopefully they will opt for a more classic and recognizable style of the character.
A pity, actually, because following in the wake of crazy things like the one in the character’s manga or the one devised by Moceri could be a gift for the fans. We will leave doubts in a year, when it hits theaters sometime in 2022.

Watch the video and pay attention to how many times there are two or more players from the same team are within 10 feet of the ball. Watch and see if you can identify the problems it creates and what the outcomes are in the game.
Top 10 Reasons Why Players Converge On The Ball
Instructions yelled at them from the sideline from adults “Go Get The Ball”: Young players often follow the directives of adults on the sideline, whether they are coaches or parents. These well-intentioned but often misguided instructions can lead to players swarming around the ball, as they are simply trying to follow the guidance they receive.
“Go Get The Ball”
There is only 1 ball, and young players want the ball; that’s where the game is to them: For many young players, being close to the ball is equated with being involved in the game. They may not yet understand the importance of positioning, spacing, and team dynamics, so they are naturally drawn to the ball, as it represents the centre of the action.
Only 1 Ball
If I do what the player with the ball is doing close to them, then I am playing too: In their eagerness to participate and contribute, young players may unconsciously mimic the actions of their teammates who have the ball. This can result in clustering around the ball as they try to emulate successful behaviour.
Too many players
Too many players on a team at young ages: This makes the concept of 1 player to the ball more difficult, as they don’t know who is the closest player. With a larger number of players on the field, it can be challenging for young children to understand and apply the principles of spacing, positioning, and determining who should go for the ball.
Low Confidence In Team Mates
No confidence in the player on the ball. They want to take over; they think they can do better: In some cases, players may swarm the ball because they lack trust in their teammate’s ability to handle the situation effectively. They may believe they can contribute more positively to the play, leading them to close in on the ball.
Want To Help
They want to help their teammate out: Young players may also be drawn to the ball out of a genuine desire to support and help their teammate who has possession. They might not yet understand that crowding the ball can actually hinder their teammate’s options and ability to make effective decisions.
Low involvement in the game; they don’t see the ball enough, so they want to get the ball: Players who feel they have not been sufficiently involved in the game may be more inclined to swarm the ball in an attempt to increase their engagement and participation. They may be seeking opportunities to touch the ball and showcase their skills.
Lack of understanding
Lack of tactical understanding: At a young age, players may not have fully grasped the tactical aspects of soccer, such as maintaining proper positioning and playing within a specific formation. This lack of understanding can lead to players instinctively chasing after the ball instead of maintaining their designated position on the field.
Don’t Want To Be Left Out
Fear of being left out or feeling unimportant: Young players may gravitate towards the ball to feel included in the game and avoid the feeling of being left out or perceived as not contributing to the team’s effort. This desire for inclusion can override any understanding of proper positioning and spacing.
No Spatial Awareness
Limited field or spatial awareness: Young players may have difficulty visualizing and understanding the concept of spacing on the field. This can lead to them instinctively moving toward the ball without considering the consequences for their team’s overall play and positioning.

A certified organic fast food chain.
Yep, it’s REAL people.
Are you like me and have driven around feeling hungry and thought, I’d just love to get some fast food that wasn’t the usual crap? I have … plenty of times … and I kept dreaming as I paid for some soggy Maccas salad option.
Enter Oliver’s Real Food.
Now, I haven’t had the pleasure of trying Oliver’s yet, as unfortunately, there aren’t any stores located near me yet – I hope. But since I discovered them, they are on my radar, and if I am ever heading their way, I will be sure to make a pit stop. So far, they are situated across 19 locations on the east coast of Australia in NSW, VIC and are opening soon in QLD. You can see their franchise locations on their website.
According to their website, Oliver’s Real Food believes that a vital component of good health is when a person takes interest in the quality of food they are eating.
They ask – What did you eat yesterday? Are you feeling gorgeous today, with clear skin and sparkly eyes? Are you feeling happy and bursting with energy?
We Are What We Eat.
This resonates so much with me, as it’s the lesson my mum taught me as a young girl. We grew up with not a lot of money, so luxuries were hard to come by. But mum always said, no matter if you can’t afford other things, never scrimp on food and always buy the best you can, as your body needs nourishing from the inside out. #lifelessons
But it gets BETTER!
They use ZERO pesticides, fungicides, herbicides, and aside from the wide menu variety of healthy breakfast, lunch, snack and cafe`options, they also have a store (online also) that sells some of their more popular food products and health-inspired books, DVDs and CDs.
So our recommendation for your next healthy fast food fix –
