“A one-day event from HuffPost Parents for moms and dads who survived the baby years and now have children who are starting to navigate the world on their own.”
Stream the Conference here!
“Dreiske’s thoughtful arrangement is taking shape in a windowless and vacant tier of Division 5 at the Cook County Jail. A guard in a control booth looks through a pane of glass to a large, echoey day room surrounded by empty cells.”
“Created by ICMC Executive Director Nicole Dreiske, “WorldScene” aims to help cultivate personal agency and self-determination among detainees while empowering individuals to engage critically with the media they consume. The 18-week film immersion program prompts thought-provoking peer-to-peer discussions of 40-50 short films, addressing topics such as non-violent conflict resolution, developing empathy and forming positive connections with friends, family, and members of the opposite gender.” –Lawndale News
“I created Fast Focus to help teachers restore that energy they have in the classroom,” Dreiske said of her semi-new program. “It gives teachers super fast brain-body exercises that unify the classroom focus. It improves students’ connections to remote learning without taking time away from lesson plans.” -Daily News
“When it comes to our children and learning, what’s the best way to make sure e-learning can live up to the classroom experience? Nicole Dreiske talks about her company’s goal to change the way children view and engage in media.” -FOX32
Teach Your Children Well– The Physical Side of Remote Learning
“Remote learning requires a parent-child partnership. As we muddle through this pandemic, parents are faced with the issue of keeping kids engaged in their schoolwork. What was once an entertainment device, is now a tool for learning. So how to keep your child engaged in a remote learning environment? Get physical.” –You Don’t Say…
“Together, these tools can provide educators and parents techniques for keeping students engages and actively learning, with less risk of falling behind this fall and in the future.” -FOX17
Joan Esposito interviews Nicole about e-learning, Screen Smart® and Fast FOCUS.
The problem is, there isn’t enough dialogue on the matter between parents and kids, Dreiske says. She wants parents to communicate better with their kids, and even play games with them to get a sense of the habits, reactions, and intensity.
“What are the three words that constitute the dialogue around screen time in our country? Turn it off,” Dreiske said. – WGN
“Nicole Dreiske, the founder of International Children’s Media Center, dishes out some helpful tips for educators looking to enhance their remote teaching during the pandemic.” -FOX32
ICMC Executive Directive Discusses her Book in this Episode of Off The Shelf
“It’s become one of the toughest day-to-day jobs for parents – protecting children from what they see online and regulating how much screen time they’re getting every day. [Dreiske] says the solution is found in how they are engaging and interacting with that screen.” – WKRC
“The problem [about gaming addiction] is, there isn’t enough dialogue on the matter between parents and kids, Dreiske says. She wants parents to communicate better with their kids, and even play games with them to get a sense of the habits, reactions, and intensity.” – CLTV
“We don’t include all those great family interactions, that we’ve built up, with screens. One of the things that parents need to do a little bit more is spend time with their children, with these screens.”– Nicole Dreiske on Fox 32
“Technology isn’t bad. It’s what we do with our minds while using screens that counts. I teach kids that there’s more going on in their minds than what they see on screens, that they’re unique individuals with great potential, purpose and creativity. They just need to turn on the mind before turning on the screen.” – Nicole Dreiske for the Chicago Tribune
“My approach is different because it’s based on wishes voiced by parents (and teachers and pediatricians and counselors) who told me what they want from technology for their children. I took their lists to heart and put together a fun, neuroscience-based approach drawn from my experience with accelerative learning and inquiry-based methodologies.”– Nicole Dreiske for Voyage Chicago
“While my instinctive adult response may be to corral and contain the child’s emotions, we can turn these disturbing media moments into opportunities for family bonding if we talk less, listen more and ask questions.”– Nicole Dreiske for PTA’s Our Children
“In school workshops, Dreiske says, she “first primes children’s minds” and then guides them through a close analysis of a short video or app as if it were a storybook. In addition to drawing on literacy skills during screen time, she encourages children to talk about what the character was feeling and how they, as the viewer, felt about it. It’s important for all of us to turn on our minds before turning on our screens.” – Nicole Dreiske for JWC Media
“You already teach your children social skills, empathy and civility by example and instruction. Because digital devices are social media tools, it’s logical for us to extend those social skills to phones, tablets and computers.”– Nicole Dreiske for MovieMom

A Massachusetts sheriff wants to offer his jail inmates a deal: Do community service by volunteering to go build President-elect Donald Trump’s border wall.
Bristol County Sheriff Thomas M. Hodgson detailed the offer as he was sworn in to a fourth term in office on Wednesday. He hopes Mr. Trump will take him up on the plan, which he said would pay dividends for the country and the inmates.
“I can think of no other project that would have such a positive impact on our inmates and our country than building this wall,” Sheriff Hodgson said in remarks prepared for his swearing-in ceremony. “Aside from learning and perfecting construction skills, the symbolism of these inmates building a wall to prevent crime in communities around the country, and to preserve jobs and work opportunities for them and other Americans upon release, can be very powerful.”
It was a bold statement at a time when many other local officials across the country are moving the other direction, promising to try to thwart Mr. Trump’s immigration plans.
Mayors and city councils have said they will fight to keep their sanctuary status by refusing to cooperate with deportation agents, even if it means losing federal funds that help them staff their jails and police forces.
The council in Boulder, Colorado, which has refused to cooperate with federal immigration authorities, voted Tuesday to formally declare itself a sanctuary city. East Montpelier, Vermont, and Iowa City, Iowa, began debates this week about whether to become sanctuaries.
Nearly 280 cities qualified as sanctuaries in fiscal year 2016 by refusing to comply with a detainer request from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
But Sheriff Hodgson’s offer of help on the wall suggests that other municipalities are eager to work with an administration that has promised to step up enforcement of immigration laws.
One program that is likely to get renewed attention under Mr. Trump is known as 287(g), which enlists local police and jails to help apprehend and process illegal immigrants.
President Obama severely curtailed the program, canceling task forces that helped train officers in the field who might encounter illegal immigrants. The administration said those programs weren’t effective and could lead to profiling.
Instead, the administration restricted the 287(g) program to scouring jails for illegal immigrants with serious criminal records.
Sheriff Hodgson said the program is a valuable tool for law enforcement agencies that want to cooperate.
Mr. Trump, in a major campaign speech on immigration, praised the 287(g) program and another federal jail-combing immigration enforcement known as Secure Communities, and vowed to “revitalize” them.
But it was the border wall that garnered the most attention during the campaign, and the Trump team insists the wall will be built.
“We’re going to keep our promises to end illegal immigration, build a wall,” Vice President-elect Mike Pence said after meeting with congressional Republicans on Wednesday.
The Reuters news agency reported this week that the Trump transition team had asked the Homeland Security Department to detail what assets it had available for wall and barrier construction at the border.
During the last major border-barrier building spree, under President George W. Bush, the National Guard was called to assist.
Sheriff Hodgson said his idea is to build a network of jails committed to having inmates perform community service. The sheriff said the inmates could be deployed to help rebuild communities after natural disasters, but would also be the labor pool for major infrastructure projects.
Jessica Vaughan, policy studies director at the Center for Immigration Studies, said she hopes the Trump administration adopts Sheriff Hodgson’s idea. She said it made sense for jail inmates to be put to work on this project.
“Let’s not forget that some of the people most harmed by illegal immigration are people who have not had the chance to acquire education or skills, who sometimes turn to crime as a result, so if this project helps address their life challenges simultaneously from a policy angle and a personal angle, that’s really worth it,” she said.
She added: “And if illegal immigration is successfully slowed and enforcement increased in the interior, then construction is one of the industries where there should be some better job opportunities for Americans and legal immigrants.”
Ms. Vaughan said the administration would have to consider security issues, as with any inmate work program. She also said the border has plenty of surveillance tools aimed at stopping illegal migration, and those could help prevent absconding inmates.
Mr. Trump has vowed to force Mexico to pay for the wall — a promise the Mexican government says it will foil.
Among the ideas Mr. Trump has floated to soak the money from Mexicans is to cut off most of the nearly $25 billion in remittances Mexicans wire back home each year from their jobs in the U.S. Mr. Trump also said during the presidential campaign that he might cancel visas issued to Mexicans as a leverage point, or impose a fee increase and use the revenue to fund construction.
Ms. Vaughan said Sheriff Hodgson’s idea is another option.
“Using inmate labor is not quite the same thing as having Mexico pay for the wall, but it’s equally beneficial for taxpayers; plus, the inmates are available right now,” she said.

LOTUS F1 HELMET for HEADS EVENT
F1 Season has passed in Singapore just a couple of weeks ago and I was able to attend one of the press events held at the Ritz Carlton for Lotus F1 and CLEAR. The 2 powerhouses sponsored this initiative to bring awareness on the need for safe driving – of course through one thing they have in common: protecting heads [one through sensible & safe driving and the other via the scalp against scalp problems]. The teams advocated helmet wearing and even had Lotus F1 drivers – Kimi Raikkonen, Romain Grosjean and Jerome D’Ambrosio – sign helmets for an auction that will profit the advocacy of road safety and helmet wearing. Truly, it was a note worthy cause deserving of the hype and publicity!
Anyways, the night was filled with a ton of activities for members of the press. Check out some of the snapshots above from the event itself. And of course, I couldn’t resist the opportunity to have fun and dress up for the event myself no?
CLICK next for more photos from the event itself! Apologies for the quality of some of them as I had to take them from a distance, nonetheless still worth sharing.

Polystar's high efficiency, one-step plastic recycling machine HNT-V is designed for the reprocessing of PE polyethylene (HDPE, LDPE, LLDPE) and PP polypropylene flexible packaging material, printed and non-printed. This cutter integrated pelletizing system eliminates the need of pre-cutting the material, requires less space and energy consumption while producing high quality plastic pellets at a productive rate.
The pellets produced by the recycling machine can be put directly back into the production line, in most cases for blown film or pipe extrusion processes.
1. Pellets from in-house, post-industrial recycling
On average, post-industrial waste makes up 5% or more of the entire production line, making in-house recycling very important nowadays as it can significantly reduce the cost of raw/virgin material purchasing. The plastic pellets produced from in-house waste are almost like-new and can be re-used for producing high quality plastic products once again.
The HNT-V is also designed to work with washed, post-consumer and used agricultural film. The cutter compactor, which generates frictional heat during the compacting process, helps to further dry and remove the water moisture from the washed film flakes (processed first by the washing lines). The recycled pellets can be used again in extrusion process, whether 100% (such as garbage bag, LDPE pipe production and etc) or as part of the mixture to reduce raw material cost. The pellets quality can also be improved by direct dosing of masterbatch and additives.

Born & raised in Quebec City, William Hennessey Poulin alias Maldito started playing a two-stringed guitar at the age of 11. A little later, he began composing his own songs, inspired by images in his head. Since then he has never looked back. During his teen years, he was part of several rock/hardcore/metal bands. He began a solo career at 18 with a piano and a guitar. An amazing Singer-songwriter, Maldito's universe has no limits and he is way beyond the barriers of a single musical style.
Maldito has always been highly influenced by all kinds of music: Classical, Metal, Hardcore, and Hip-Hop. But he would often listen and analyse the beauty of Coldplay and Ludovico Einaudi. Having accomplished most of his music and art without really getting it out to be heard and seen in any way, Maldito finally decided in 2007 to motivate himself in truly creating something that would bring him to his dream.
Associated with Higher Reign Studios and his label Higher Reign Music Group, Maldito will release his first album, The Indigo Kid, available in late 2012. This LP will contain every aspect of his musical influences. With more than three years of perseverance, motivation and willingness, Maldito is aiming for the top. Armed with the support of an early fan base, his album will hit strong. Go check on your friend’s iPod... Maldito might be there.

LGBTQ dissolutions have become somewhat settled law the last couple of years. However, by no means does this mean that same sex and queer dissolutions are settled territory in the law without issues. For example, for years gay and lesbian couples could not form an equivalent legal relationship to straight couples, now LGBTQ couples can form more kinds of legal relationships than their hetero counterparts.
In California same sex couples have the option to both get married and to become registered domestic partners, while straight couples under the age of 65 can only become married. This can lead to some tricky legal situations. For example, if a same sex couple forms a domestics partnership, and then before getting married, signs a prenuptial agreement, a question of whether the prenuptial agreement applies to both the partnership and marriage, or, just the marriage, can raise real issues.
Potential legal landmines like these have diminished as LGBTQ rights have become integrated into the law, but the vestigial legal devices on the road the equality have left some treacherous terrain for the unwary.
The San Francisco based lawyers and Jones & Devoy have stayed at the forefront of LGBTQ2+ law since its inception. Our experience and understanding of the unique issues same sex, gay and lesbian couples make, can make sure that your family law case in the bay area is handled with care and professional precision.

If you start teaching your kids good oral hygiene habits at a young age, you can put them on a path toward life-long oral health. Some actions become so engrained that it just doesn’t feel right not to complete them. Have you ever noticed that it is difficult to fall asleep if you go to bed before brushing your teeth? If so, it means that you have so firmly established the habit of brushing your teeth before bed that it feels wrong not to follow through. When it comes to teaching your kids about oral hygiene, the goal is to get the good habits so ingrained that they continue them throughout life.
Brushing is the quickest and simplest oral hygiene habit. You do have to be intentional in the way you brush to get the best results. But brushing correctly is not complicated. School-aged children can learn to brush thoroughly and will eventually be able to be trusted to complete the task without supervision. The two key elements to brushing properly are time and coverage. You need to teach your kids how long to brush and how to cover all of the areas in their mouths. The time element is simple – put on a song they love or use a timer. It will take a little more effort to make sure they reach all the spots while brushing. It can help to create an order for your kids to follow such as: behind bottom teeth, then behind top teeth, front of bottom teeth, then front of top teeth, etc. The pattern you choose doesn’t matter as long as it helps your kids consistently get to all of their teeth while brushing.
Flossing is an important oral hygiene habit to teach your kids. It gets to areas of your mouth that brushing simply cannot reach. Many adults avoid flossing so it is very important to be intentional about creating this habit in your children. It will take some effort to teach flossing. Young kids may lack the dexterity to floss correctly. And, it can be a little scary to floss for kids if it leads to bleeding gums. If flossing always goes along with brushing your kids will expect it to be part of their routine. You may have to assist your kids with flossing a little longer than with brushing. One option is to purchase dental flossers designed for kids. The flossers will be easier for your kids to handle when compared to traditional floss. And, the bright colors will make things more fun. The key to creating the habit of flossing for your kids is to be consistent and patient.
Visiting the Dentist
Visiting the dentist for routine dental care only happens a couple of times a year but it is an essential part of proper oral care. The way to create this habit is to be consistent with routine dental visits. Take your child to the dentist on the appropriate schedule for cleanings and exams. And, let your kids see that you make routine dental visits a priority.
Good oral hygiene habits can start at a young age. Begin teaching your kids these important habits as soon as possible. The sooner you start the sooner brushing, flossing, and visiting the dentist will become a normal part of your kids’ oral care routine.

In the age of rapid technological advancement, the field of detection technologies is facing a new and complex challenge. As innovative methods for detecting and analyzing various substances and materials continue to evolve, so too do the methods in which these substances and materials are manipulated and concealed. This has created a new challenge for detection technologies: keeping up with the ever-evolving tactics of those seeking to evade detection.
One of the primary areas where this challenge is evident is in the realm of drug detection. With the rise of synthetic drugs and new chemical formulations, traditional detection methods are struggling to keep pace. In addition, drug traffickers are constantly developing new techniques for concealing their shipments, making it increasingly difficult for detection technologies to effectively identify and intercept illegal substances.
Similarly, in the field of counter-terrorism and security, there is a growing need for more advanced detection technologies that can identify and thwart potential threats. As terrorists continue to adapt and innovate their tactics, detection technologies must also adapt to effectively detect and prevent potential attacks.
The rise of bioterrorism and biological warfare presents another significant challenge for detection technologies. With the increasing availability of advanced biotechnology, the potential for using biological agents as weapons is a very real threat. In response, detection technologies must be capable of identifying and neutralizing these highly complex and nuanced threats.
In the realm of cybersecurity, the challenge for detection technologies is equally daunting. As cybercriminals and hackers become more sophisticated in their tactics, traditional methods of detecting and preventing cyber threats are no longer sufficient. There is a growing need for advanced detection technologies that can rapidly identify and respond to emerging cyber threats.
To address these challenges, researchers and innovators in the field of detection technologies are hard at work developing new and advanced methods for detecting and identifying a wide range of threats. From the development of more advanced sensor technologies to the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning for rapidly analyzing and interpreting data, the future of detection technologies holds great promise.
In conclusion, the field of detection technologies is facing a new and complex challenge as the tactics of those seeking to evade detection continue to evolve. However, with ongoing research and innovation, there is great potential for the development of new and advanced detection technologies capable of effectively addressing these emerging threats. It is imperative that the international community continues to invest in and support the development of these technologies to ensure the safety and security of people around the world.

The hits hold coming for Peloton; at present the corporate introduced a recall of roughly 2.2 million of its bikes due to rider accidents from a defective seat submit.
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, Peloton obtained 35 stories of the seat submit breaking and detaching from the bike throughout use, which led to 13 accidents together with a fractured wrist, lacerations, and bruises. The recall particularly impacts Peloton Bikes with mannequin quantity PL01, which had been bought from January 2018 by means of May 2023 at Peloton shops, Dick’s Sporting Goods, and Amazon.
Consumers are being suggested to “immediately” cease utilizing the recalled bikes and call Peloton for a restore. The firm is sending out a free seat submit that may be self-installed with out having to ship bikes again to the producer.
The recall is simply the most recent of Peloton’s woes, which have been plaguing the corporate in recent times. In May 2021, a recall of Peloton treadmills was issued after a baby died from being pulled underneath the treadmill and practically 40 others sustained fractured bones and different accidents from the gadgets.
The following February, 2,800 workers had been laid off and the CEO resigned amid plummeting inventory costs. The firm by no means managed to keep the steam it gained within the early levels of the pandemic when individuals had been caught of their houses and in want of its no-gym exercise merchandise—notably as rival firms started emulating Peloton’s internet-connected streaming mannequin.
After information of the recall hit on Thursday, Peloton inventory dropped one other seven %.

KEEP IT SIMPLE, STUPID – KELLY JOHNSON
A quote from Kelly Johnson that I think really suit my working flow in street photography. Make everything simple, focus on shooting and making composition, other things are only complementary.
Here are things that I think we need to simplified in process to “work” in street photography world:
Do not ever think to not start or keep shooting on street because we do not have camera that we desire. Always remember Camera is only a Tool (Read here). Basically we able to shoot on the street with any cameras in market right now, do not overthink about image quality or specification. I believe all modern cameras produce decent to great image quality, none of them is bad. Choose a camera that we feel comfortable to shoot with (some factors like buttons layout, menu layout, and size).
Also, it is totally fine if we become an active street photographer by using only smartphone camera (I know some people who produce amazing street photos with their phone), or any cameras that we may already have in our cabinet (even film or old digital camera is fine). Street photography is art, art is coming from our vision and imagination. Camera is only a light recorder. Start shooting with any camera you currently have.
I love prime lens (lens that can not zoom) on the street because their simplicity (5 Reasons why I love prime lens). Instead of keep bugging my mind which focal length I need to use when see a scene, I will try to “compose” a photo in my mind first and then shoot it.
I like the fact that I only have 1 focal length, therefore I only need to be creative with it, instead of keep confusing myself whether I should shoot a scene in wide or tele angle. Because when use prime lens after certain amount of time, lens will become the extension of our eyes. We will be able to visualize a shoot even before we raise camera to our eye.
My regular camera set up for street practically is always the same:
Auto ISO (200-6400), Auto Shutter Speed (Program, minimal 1/500s before reach ISO more than 6400), Manual Aperture (Aperture priority) and Autofocus (Read here for Tracking Autofocus).
Why not shoot full manual? Because my mind will get distract by the fact that I need to check my camera setting all the time instead of focus on moment that lies around me. There is a chance moment already gone when I finished set up (even one second different can ruin a great moment).
I do still use manual aperture setting due to my style to shooting street. There are times when I think shallow depth of field (big aperture) able to enhance surreal effect of a scene, while at other times I need all elements in focus (small aperture). However, only need to change aperture frequently is still a simple step that I can do easily. Will not make me miss a moment. (Thanks to Fujifilm lenses that have dedicated aperture ring).
If I need to change my exposure (to underexpose or overexpose a scene) then I change it with exposure compensation dial. Again, thanks to Fujfiilm camera with dedicated exposure dial, it is really suit my shooting style.
RAW vs JPEG?
My habit is to shoot everything in RAW + JPEG format. Most of my shoots are result of RAW file that I post processed in Lightroom CC. Main reason is because RAW give me more freedom to post pro, better recovery of highlight and shadow if needed. I do still make tweak process simple though, by apply same presets to all of my photos (1 preset for colour, 1 preset for black and white). I do not need to confusing my self anymore which presets will suit my photos.
In case you are wondering, my street colour preset is Fujifilm Classic Chrome, and for black and white is Fujifilm Acros. Honestly, I do have a ton of presets in my Lightroom, but in the end I just want to simplified my workflow by only use 2 presets above.
I also shoot in JPEG when I do not have my laptop with me. Especially when I’m on trip to other city or overseas, because I feel laptop is too hassle to carry around. Thanks to today’s technology, actually JPEG result already great in most of modern cameras. If you think shoot RAW is too complicated (not all software able to read RAW), then shoot with JPEG is a good move as well, and nothing to be ashamed of. In fact, it is more simple and faster to do.
Do not underestimate the side effect of complicated workflow, I know few people who love to shoot (like everyday), but in the end they only store most photos inside their hard drive, because they feel too lazy to post process them. Note: If you feel too lazy or do not have spare time to post pro, then just shoot JPEG.
Street photography is all about create art based on decisive moment. The contents inside our image is in top priority. Focus on select a scene, compose, and capture it. Make our workflow as simple as possible so we will have more time to give our attention to moments that happen out there.
Keep shooting and make it simple,

Harlow fire deaths: Local private CCTV may hold key clues
CCTV in an area of Essex where six members of the same family were killed by a house fire could reveal key clues.
Sabah Usmani, sons Muneeb, nine, and Rayyan, six, and daughter Hira, 12, died at their home in Harlow.
Sohaib, 11, and daughter Maheen, three, died later in hospital. Dr Usmani's husband, Abdul Shakoor, was the only survivor of the blaze on 15 October.
Police are asking people with private CCTV cameras in the Barn Mead and Whitewaits areas to contact them.
A car parked nearby caught fire at about the same time.
An Essex Police spokesman said: "Any pictures could provide detectives with vital information concerning the suspicious house and car fire."
The force has also said it believed a burglary took place on the night of the fire after the family went to bed.
Police are searching for Dr Shakoor's black Toshiba Satellite laptop, which was in the lounge when he went to bed that evening.
Officers want to talk to a group of teenage boys wearing tracksuits and baseball caps.
Two teenagers on pedal bikes were seen in Barn Mead during the early hours of 15 October.


The International Space Station performed a manoeuvre on Friday to temporarily swerve away from a fragment of a US launch vehicle, the head of Russia’s space agency said.
Dmitry Rogozin, who heads Roscosmos, said the station’s orbit dropped by 310m for less than three minutes to avoid a close encounter with a fragment from a US launch vehicle sent into space in 1994.
Rogozin added that the manoeuvre would not affect the planned launch of the Soyuz MS-20 rocket on 8 December from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan and its docking at the ISS.
Space debris, or space junk, consists of discarded launch vehicles or parts of a spacecraft that float around in space and risk colliding with satellites or the International Space Station.
Space debris forced Nasa on Tuesday to postpone a spacewalk placed to replace a faulty antenna at the ISS.
US officials also said last month that an anti-satellite missile test carried out by Russia had generated a debris field in low-Earth orbit that endangered the ISS and would pose a hazard to space activities for years. — Gabrielle Tétrault-Farber, (c) 2021 Reuters

“British espionage service abused leak Kaspersky AV suite and Cisco routers
British intelligence service GCHQ has leaks in the antivirus software Kaspersky try to exploit. In addition, the service managed movement of Cisco routers to lead to its own systems. According to new Snowden documents.

The Guardian also mentions a 2009 report by the US National Intelligence Council, which stood on the intranet of the GCHQ. This report provides a forecast for five years of Internet threats for the information infrastructure of the US The document would be that espionage, sabotage and crime poses a major threat to businesses and citizens because encryption and other protective measures to be implemented more slowly than expected. The defensive capabilities would therefore remain in the offensive.
In the report would be notified that encryption is the best defense to protect data and in particular multi-factor authentication would help. Prime Minister David Cameron of the United Kingdom earlier this week just insinuated that it should not be impossible that public communications were eavesdropping, which he seemed to imply that strong encryption forbidden to be had. Also, he would like President Obama pressured set to allow tech companies cooperate better with espionage services.Viewing:-292

“This is a great way of eating that I highly recommend to many clients, and I even model in my own life,” says Elizabeth Shaw, RDN, who is in private practice in San Diego and is the co-author of Fertility Foods Cookbook. “Since the premise of the diet is designed to help people who have high blood pressure, low-sodium foods are recommended. But considering that most Americans exceed their daily sodium levels anyway, it’s not surprising that dietitians recommend this style of eating for treating many different conditions, such as heart disease and obesity.”
Switch to Lighter Alternatives. Whenever you can, use the low-fat versions of salad dressings, mayonnaise, dairy products, and other products. "You can trim calories effortlessly if you use low-fat and lighter products, and if the product is mixed in with other ingredients, no one will ever notice," says Magee. More smart substitutions: Use salsa or hummus as a dip; spread sandwiches with mustard instead of mayo; eat plain roasted sweet potatoes instead of loaded white potatoes; use skim milk instead of cream in your coffee; hold the cheese on sandwiches; and use a little vinaigrette on your salad instead of piling on the creamy dressing.
To reach your get-lean goal, you must also follow a get-lean diet, filled with the best foods to burn fat. Why? Even if you work out hard for an hour every day, that still leaves 23 more hours for you to wreck all your hard work in the gym with just one slip-up: a measly handful of chips, a beer with the guys, or a burger at lunch. Diet is a huge, so to speak, part of the fat-loss equation. It's the backbone of your entire plan, the foundation of a hard body.
Real talk: It could take weeks or months to see the metabolic effects of exercise on the scale, and even then, building muscle, which is denser than body fat, could lead to weight gain. "Do what you like because it’s good for you," Dr. Seltzer says, noting the way exercise is awesome for your heart, mental health, and more—and that not all measure of progress can be seen on the scale.
Make sure that the diet has been studied extensively for safety — and discuss any changes with your physician or registered dietitian before beginning a new diet. (If you don’t have a dietitian, find one in your area at the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics website.) And do a self-check to ensure the diet fits with your own values and preferences.
Keep in mind that the first time that you sit down and plan meals to lose weight the process will take a little longer. But once you have a system in place, you'll breeze through the ritual—you might even start to enjoy it. Getting organized feels good and reaching your weight loss goals feels even better. So take enough time to follow through with the prep steps to get used to your diet plan and stay on track.
Similar to the CICO diet, the Body Reset has gained popularity via social media, and there isn’t any definitive research that suggests the approach is safe and effective. Celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak created the plan, which is essentially a three-phase liquid diet comprised of smoothies and moderate exercise. While U.S. News notes you may lose weight on the diet, it may be tough to stick with, and isn’t safe for people with diabetes and heart disease. (38)
Basically, the effect of exercise on our weight is vastly overrated. That’s why it’s only number 15 on this list. There are other things you need to take care of first. It’s not a good idea to eat bad food, drink sugar water (so-called “sports drinks”) or be on medications which force you to exercise for hours daily just to compensate. Metaphorically that’s like digging a hole, into which you put your ladder, on which you stand and paint the basement-level windows of your house.
Try to do at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise, such as a fast walk or a low-impact aerobic class, five days a week. Additionally, you want to work out all the major muscle groups with strength-training exercises, such as lifting weights or using a resistance band, for 30 minutes two days a week. As you lose weight and your fitness level improves, you may want to increase your exercise to up to 60 minutes a day to burn more calories, but with your doctor's permission and supervision.
Since we are talking about setting a meal plan, we need to talk about how many calories you should plan to eat. If your goal is to lose weight, all you need to know is your goal weight. The equation is easy; add a zero to the end of your goal weight to find your daily calorie goal. Just be sure not to go under 1200 calories per day as this will send your metabolism into preservation mode, which may cause your body to hold onto weight instead of releasing it.
Be choosy about carbs. You can decide which ones you eat, and how much. Look for those that are low on the glycemic index (for instance, asparagus is lower on the glycemic index than a potato) or lower in carbs per serving than others. Whole grains are better choices than processed items, because processing removes key nutrients such as fiber, iron, and B vitamins. They may be added back, such as in “enriched” bread.
This plan was developed by nutritionist Dawn Jackson Blatner, RD, to allow vegetarians to have a burger every once in awhile. There is no specific weight-loss claim, but the guidelines recommend around 1,500 calories per day, so there’s a good chance you’ll lose weight. Recipes are available online and in Blatner’s book. Vegetarian diets have been linked with reduced risk for diseases such as diabetes and heart troubles, but you have to make smart food choices to avoid nutrient deficiencies. Learn about the healthy diet plan nutritionists recommend for weight loss.
Many diet plans cut out entire food groups, which can create nutrient deficiencies as well as health problems. For instance, if the diet is very low in carbohydrates and you have type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes, it’s probably not a good fit. And if it’s too restrictive and you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, it’s not a good idea, either. Keep in mind that pregnancy is not a time for weight loss. Speak with your doctor before making any changes to your diet if you are pregnant or breast-feeding.
This well-known plan promises weight loss of up to two pounds per week, and it has plenty of evidence to back it up. The bonus is that it’s built around real food. Weight Watchers has a strong community to support your success and offers personal coaching for an additional cost. The latest plan, WW Freestyle, has 200 zero Points foods, which makes tracking what you eat less of a burden. If you have a sweet tooth, this plan may be tough because sugar is heavily penalized. Weight Watchers doesn’t accept children under 13, pregnant women, or those with eating disorders. Find out which supermarket foods are best for weight loss.
If taking the time to slice and dice vegetables holds you back from eating them, then invest in the pre-chopped or pre-washed vegetables. Rene Ficek, RD, the lead nutrition expert at Seattle Sutton’s Healthy Eating says fresh produce is the cornerstone of healthy nutrition—and using pre-chopped vegetables could cut your cooking time in half. “Plus, keeping sliced veggies and prepared dips like hummus are great to have on hand at all time,” Fieck adds.
This meal replacement plan has mixed scientific evidence to support it. SlimFast promises a reasonable one- to two-pound loss per week, but you’ll need to buy its shakes, bars, and other products. The 1,200-calorie plan allows for one 500 calorie meal of regular food daily, with the rest of the calories made up of SlimFast products, fruits, and vegetables. The hard part will be sticking with the program; also, the SlimFast foods contain a lot of processed ingredients and artificial sweeteners. This isn’t for people younger than 18, or pregnant or breastfeeding women without medical supervision. Make the most of your one meal with 11 simple swaps that lead to dramatic weight loss.
“A lot of people think the foundation of a paleo diet is high-fat meat, but I suggest that it’s vegetables,” says Hultin. The concept is to eat only foods — including meat, fish, poultry, eggs, fruits, and vegetables — that would have been available to our Paleolithic ancestors. This means grains, dairy, legumes, added sugar, and salt are all no-no’s.
It might seem like swapping regular products for “sugar-free,” “fat-free,” or “diet foods” is an easy fix. But they could do more harm than good. In fact, artificial sweeteners they could even cause weight gain, according to research published in Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism. As for fat-free foods, choosing the full-fat option will keep you fuller longer, according to Pashko. Steering clear of ravenous hunger will ensure you don’t overeat later.
Meal prep is one of the best ways to ensure you’re eating healthy all day long and prevent the vicious cycle of skipping meals during the day and binging on unhealthy foods once you’re finally home in the evening, one of the problems many people who are struggling with losing weight are facing with every day. Plus, it’s so much easier to grab and eat food you’ve already prepared than to struggle with also cooking and/or prepping it when you’re hungry.
Being in optimal ketosis for a prolonged period of time (say, a month) will ensure that you experience the maximal hormonal effect from eating a low-carb diet. If this doesn’t result in noticeable weight loss, you can be certain that too many carbs are NOT part of your weight issue and not the obstacle to your weight loss. There are, in fact, other causes of obesity and being overweight. The next three tips in this series might help you.
The idea of this meal plan is for you to focus on enjoying your food and having meals prepped for you that you know are well-balanced so you don’t have to worry about counting calories. I find calorie counting to be tedious and I get overly obsessive so I like to choose meals that are naturally healthy and nutritious to add into my meal preps like the recipes I’ve chosen for you today.

Japan’s mountains are shrinking faster than ever, but some of the country’s most ancient mountain ranges remain largely untouched.
A new study by researchers at Kyoto University shows that the shrinking glaciers in Japan have a significant impact on the region’s environment.
In the last 15 years, Japan has lost more than 60% of its mountain ranges.
But the shrinking of the Himalayas and the east coast has also accelerated, with a recent survey showing that almost half of Japan’s total glaciers are shrinking.
The Kyoto University researchers analyzed satellite imagery to track the extent of glaciers across Japan.
The researchers used data from the Japan Meteorological Agency and the Japan Geological Survey, which provides climate information.
The data was collected between 1999 and 2008, and includes data from Japan’s Mt.
Fuji and Mount Kishio, both of which are located in the northeastern mountainous region of the mountains.
Kawaguchi said that although the study showed a decrease in glaciers in recent decades, they were still relatively high.
For example, the glaciers in the central mountainous region were shrinking more rapidly than those in the rest of the area, Kawaguchi told The Jerusalem Times.
He said it was important to understand the effect of this change on the environment.
“It’s important to remember that the glaciers were always quite high and there are still some glaciers in certain areas.
But they are decreasing rapidly,” Kawagachi said.
The study is the first to show the impact of glacier changes on the climate of Japan, Kawas said.
It’s possible that the changes will be more significant over time.
“The results of the study suggest that glacier changes are likely to have an impact on climate in Japan and the world,” Kawas added.
Japan’s shrinking glaciers have been the subject of debate since at least 2003, when a series of earthquakes triggered a series in the mountains, killing about 50 people.
The region has also experienced a series on Mount Fuji in recent years, with more than 1,000 landslides in recent months.
The glaciers in northern Japan have also been shrinking in recent times, with some regions losing up to 50% of their ice, according to Kawas.
The glaciers in central Japan have lost more.
A recent report by the Japanese government’s National Disaster Mitigation Agency found that more than 3,000 people died as a result of the earthquake and tsunami that struck the region in March 2011.
The scientists at Kyoto said they hope to develop a model that would predict the future impact of climate change on glaciers in different parts of the world.
“If we want to understand climate change in the future, we need to look at how these glaciers are changing and how much of the ice they are losing,” Kawashima said.
“I hope that the model we develop will be able to help us understand the impact.”

Cryptocurrencies have multiple applications in the real world. The latter can be the source of substantial productivity gains in certain industries. The VeChain (VET) project is working in this direction, through a blockchain technology dedicated to the traceability and authenticity of products. With the main objective of combating the proliferation of counterfeits. And it is not surprising that luxury groups and the food industry are very interested in it.
This analysis is offered to you in collaboration with Le Trading du Coin and its algorithmic trading solution.
While the VeChain project had seen tailwinds in the first months of 2021, this dynamic has taken the lead in the wing with a cycle logic of cryptocurrencies. And the least we can say is that it is struggling to regain its previous levels. To the point of wondering where exactly are the prices of VET? And this is what we will see by analyzing the charts in weekly and daily units.

The weekly chart leaves no doubt that VeChain’s trend is unmistakably bearish. Indeed, the downward line initiated since its last ATH in April 2021 seems firmly anchored. With high points always lower and lower. And two major downward waves which unfortunately show that no altseason seems to be on the agenda.
Nevertheless, the ability of VET prices to preserve its $0.03-0.04 support is currently a favorable technical signal that cryptocurrency investors can latch onto. But in contrast, the rally in technical indicators over the past few weeks is beginning to fade. And this is explained by the two successive weekly bearish candles, including this week’s.
Thus, it would not be excluded to see this cryptocurrency return to test this critical support. With, in the event of a break from below, an obvious risk of further accentuating the current downtrend. And, at the same time, a possible capitulation of buyers. But conversely, perhaps the worst is behind us. But in this case, the VET would be well advised to approach the descending line engaged since its last ATH.
VeChain – The $0.06 support as a reinforcement?
From the start of April, the VeChain saw its recovery initiated since mid-March stopped short at the resistance of $0.08. Then, following the failure of Bitcoin in its desire to permanently overcome $46,000, a sharp fall pushed it towards the support of $0.06. And although the last three daily bullish candles, including today’s, favor a rebound on this threshold, they are struggling to erase the losses recorded on April 11th.
However, these timid upward tendencies have the merit of curbing the poor dynamics of technical indicators in daily units. On the one hand, the MACD begins to return to the contact of the zero line. And on the other hand, the RSI resumes its forward march towards the neutral zone at 50.
In view of what is happening hot on the daily chart, breaking through the resistance at $0.08 may well drive VET prices close to its descending line. But in the opposite case, the critical support of $0.03-0.04 would become an option to consider, in the event of a breach of the $0.06 level.
VET – Bread on the board against Bitcoin
The balance of power between the VET and the BTC does not suffer from any discussion. Because since the peak in April 2021, he is in favor of the mother of cryptocurrencies. The fact of noting that its high points rise less and less, testifies to the dominance of Bitcoin against this altcoin. Especially when the general trend is gloomy, as it has been for several months.
As long as the VET/BTC pair does not manage to cross its descending line, investors have every interest in staying away from this cryptocurrency dedicated to the traceability and authenticity of products. And at the same time, an allocation in favor of Bitcoin would be more appropriate as part of a healthy and thoughtful diversification of a portfolio dedicated to risky assets.
When it comes to the VeChain chart, there are three key levels to watch in coordination with Bitcoin’s future moves. To start with the resistance of $0.08 which is a hindrance to the current rebound to the downline. Next, the $0.06 support could become a resistance in case of rupture. And finally, the $0.03-0.04 support is the one that matters the most, as it could determine the price fate of VET in 2022.

Biden Gave an Update to the Nation About the Private Sector Vaccine Mandate
President Biden on Thursday addressed the “unacceptably high number” of unvaccinated people in America and said his mandate for the private sector will go into effect “soon.”
While “daily cases are down 47 percent” nationally, and “hospitalizations are down 38 percent over the past six weeks,” Biden said there are still 66 million unvaccinated Americans. This is down from 100 million in July.
Insisting that his vaccine mandates are working, Biden said the Department of Labor will “soon be issuing an emergency rule” for private sector companies with 100 or...

CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, Ohio –- Cleveland Heights Mayor Ed Kelley has officially endorsed the Cleveland Heights-University Heights School District's $134.8 million bond issue.
If voters pass the bond issue on Nov. 5, the money will be used to pay for the first phase of a facilities plan, which includes renovations to Heights High School and Monticello and Roxboro middle schools.
“Our young people deserve the best education possible in modern, sustainable facilities,” Kelley said in a statement released Friday. “Issue 81 would give them modern classrooms and technology and science labs. Also, having energy-efficient buildings will save money.”
Kelley said passing the bond issue will not only help the schools, but will also be good for the city of Cleveland Heights.
“The passage of Issue 81 would create a number of construction jobs in our city,” Kelley said. “It would generate over $1 million in new income tax. In addition, the city would receive additional funds from permits and fees.”

Growth – Challenge for European Cities
Europe’s metropolises are faced with new challenges: for some time now, the population has been increasingly attracted to the conurbations. A conference in Frankfurt is now focusing on the opportunities and limits of growth.
Globally, agglomerations are attractive to the population in rural areas and are therefore constantly growing. Also in Europe, there has been an increase in migratory movements from the countryside to the city, so city planning is facing new challenges. On 16th of May, the Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences is organizing a conference about the subject. Under the title “Europe’s Agglomerations – Challenges to Planning and Building”, experts and participants exchange views on the trend in Europe.
Opportunities and limitations of urban development
The aim of the conference is to identify the opportunities and limitations of urban development. For this purpose, current research results and solutions are to be discussed and evaluated. To deal with the complex subject matter, the congress deals with building-related, legal and economic aspects as well as social and cultural developments. The broad topic area is divided into two forums, in which the participants can inform themselves and exchange information through speeches and discussions. While Forum I deals with business, law and infrastructure, Forum II concerns with gentrification, dependency on the car and the digitalisation of planning data. Afterwards, the challenges of growth in terms of their ecological and social aspects are discussed in a joint forum.

How are you feeling? What are you doing to take care of your mental and emotional needs? Do you ever feel like you need more support than you have?
Several weeks ago, the psychologist Lisa Damour wrote a Well column about how adults could help teenagers attend to their emotional needs as school resumed for a school year that seemed likely to be a challenging one. Some teenagers who read the column responded by asking Ms. Damour to write another column, this time addressed to them rather than to their parents.
In “Dear Teenagers, Here’s How to Protect Your Emotional Well-Being,” Ms. Damour does just that — and offers these five suggestions for young people.
Make the Most of Your Emotional Superpowers
Teenagers experience feelings more intensely than adults do, both negative and positive ones. While this amplifies the psychological discomfort you’re certainly experiencing right now, it also means that you get more out of pleasures and delights. These days the only bright spots many of us are finding are small ones, and for a lot of adults, these don’t feel very satisfying. But for you, small comforts and joys are more comforting and joyful than they are for adults. So, when your mood needs a lift, make the most of this emotional superpower.
What makes this power work for you will be highly personal. You might enjoy video games, pumpkin spice treats, cuddling your pet, being in nature, listening to music, going for a run or doing something else altogether. The adults in your life might not quite grasp how happy it makes you to watch your favorite movie for the umpteenth time. That’s OK. Just know what gives you a boost right now and enjoy it fully.
Trust Your Feelings
When you are worried, sad, stressed, frustrated or anything else, trust that you are almost certainly having the “right” feeling. I say this because you have been raised in a culture that is unnecessarily fearful of unpleasant emotions and which may have given you the impression that emotional distress invariably signals fragile mental health. This is not true. In upsetting times, feeling upset proves, if anything, that your emotions are working exactly as they should. You are in touch with reality — a painful one though it is — and attuned to your circumstances.
When your mood is good, trust that too. With the world off its axis, you might wonder if it’s all right to let yourself feel at ease. It is. Should you notice that calm emotional waters follow stormy waves of distress, don’t assume that you have somehow lost touch. In all likelihood, you have processed and moved past a painful mood, largely by allowing yourself to have it.
Count on Your Psychological Circuit Breakers
Sometimes we helpfully make room for unpleasant feelings. Other times psychological defenses kick in on their own like circuit breakers to protect us from emotional overload. Though psychological defenses can be problematic, such as when people use denial to ignore a painful truth, they are often healthy and can help us regulate how much of an upsetting situation we take on all at once.
For instance, you might notice that the anger you feel about your disrupted school days gives way to an appreciation for your growing self-sufficiency. Shifting from exasperation to rationalization maintains your connection to what’s happening while reducing the emotional charge. Using humor — say, when you are inspired to find inventive ways to crack up your classmates to manage the sheer frustration of sitting through online classes — works the same way. Here’s the point: Your mind is built to help you through this hard time. Put stock in its ability to keep your emotional current at manageable levels.
Have a Basic Plan for Mental Health Maintenance
Plenty of sleep and physical activity will improve your mood, reduce your stress, and increase how much you like yourself and other people. Enjoy the company of people who soothe and energize you. Steer clear of those who leave you feeling stirred up or spent.
Distribute your mental energy with care. So much will go sideways this year, and you have every right to resent the challenges and frustrations of Covid-19. Allow yourself time to be upset. Then try to direct the bulk of your energy toward that which you can control. What kind of friend do you want to be this year? What do you want to learn and get better at? What can you do to support others? Focus on what remains within your power, because exercising that power will help you feel better.
Understand When to Worry
If distress is to be expected, when is it time to worry? A first reason would be if your unwanted emotions start to feel like bad roommates: constantly around and taking the fun out of everything. It’s one thing if sadness, anxiety, irritation, outrage or grief stop by for a visit. But it’s another if they move in or linger for more than a day or two.
A second reason for concern would be if you find yourself routinely using unhealthy strategies to numb or contain painful feelings. Avoiding everyone, being cranky all the time, misusing substances, or sacrificing sleep to binge on social media may bring relief in the short term but create bigger problems down the line.
Finally, you should be worried if you feel you might harm yourself or do not feel safe in some other way. Should you be concerned about your own well-being, or that of a friend, reach out to a trusted adult. Tell a parent, a counselor at your school, or any other grown-up you can count on to take the situation seriously and mobilize the proper supports.
Students, read the entire article, then tell us:
What advice in the column do you think is most helpful for teenagers? Why?
What are the small comforts and joys in your life? How have these helped you get through the challenges of this year?
Ms. Damour writes that “teenagers should not underestimate the value of their own special strengths.” What do you think are your special strengths? Give examples.
Who — or what — has helped you the most in taking care of your emotional well-being this year? In what ways?
Ms. Damour recommends that teenagers have a basic plan for mental health maintenance. To help teens come up with their plan, she asks these three questions: “What kind of friend do you want to be this year? What do you want to learn and get better at? What can you do to support others?” Choose one or more of these questions to answer.
The column offers five pieces of advice for teenagers. If you were to add one more piece of advice, based on your own experience and insights, what would it be? Why?

Disappointed by the performance of public and private sector banks in Bihar, the state government has decided not to deposit government funds in 21 banks. On the matter, the Deputy Chief Minister of the state, Mr. Sushil Kumar Modi, said that the banks failed to provide loans as per the four point criteria because of which the government has decided to withdraw funds from these banks and will not make any deposits in these banks, until further notice.
It is reported that the Bihar state government had directed the banks to provide loans for developmental purposes. To ensure that the banks adhered to the state government's directive, the government provided the banks with ‘four point criteria' of advancing loans. The banks' performance is measured according to this criteria which has parameters such as credit deposit ratio, agriculture sector lending, Kisan credit card and primary sector lending.
On the performance of various banks Mr. Sushil Kumar Modi said that 21 banks, consisting of well known private sector banks - ICICI Bank and Axis Bank, have attained just 25 points out of a total of 100 points. About 13 banks could not attain any points and have scored zero while the rest could score only between 7 to 23 points. As a result, the state government has chosen to withdraw funds from these banks and it will also not make any deposits with them till the time government gives them further orders on the matter.
He also said that he regrets that in spite of having a remarkable loan repayment record, some banks are not advancing loans for developmental causes.

The Cubs on Saturday finally made official their signing of right-handed pitcher Carlos Villanueva to a two-year, $10 million deal. Villanueva gets $5 million in 2013 and $5 million in 2014.
The 29-year-old Villanueva has pitched the last seven seasons with the Brewers (2006-10) and Blue Jays (2011-12). He is 33-35 with a 4.26 ERA and 6 saves in 301 big-league appearances, 56 starts. His lifetime WHIP (walks plus hits per 1 inning pitched) is 1.30.
Last season for Toronto, he was 7-7 with a 4.16 ERA in 38 games, 16 starts.
The Cubs are expected to use him as a swing man, with their starting rotation looking full going into spring training.
To make room on the 40-man roster, the Cubs designated reliever Lendy Castillo for assignment. Castillo, obtained last off-season in the Rule 5 draft, made 13 appearances for the Cubs in 2012, going 0-1 with a 7.88 ERA.
The Villanueva deal was reported several weeks ago, but the Cubs are just now making it official. He had to undergo a physical exam, and the Cubs had to clear space for him on the 40-man roster.
The Cubs this week are expected to announce the signing of outfielder Scott Hairston to a two-year contract.
