Call it a vegetable or a fruit, the tomato is in a food class by itself. Interestingly, cooked tomato products, like tomato paste, puree, stewed tomatoes, and even ketchup, deliver more of its well-known antioxidant lycopene, a cancer fighter, and potassium than when eaten raw. Tomatoes also have vitamins A and C and phytochemicals that make it an nutrition essential for women’s health.
Research findings can take some time before becoming routinely implemented into clinical practice. Clinical medicine needs to incorporate the information already available from research studies as to the different ways in which diseases affect women and men. Many "normal" laboratory values have not been properly established for the female population separately, and similarly the "normal" criteria for growth and development. Drug dosing needs to take gender differences in drug metabolism into account.
Women also understand the relationship between working out and how it can affect everything they do in life. Most major health issues affecting women can be treated or improved by a simple workout plan. Weight loss and cardiovascular exercise help everything from stress and heart disease to diabetes. And don't forget the small, but important "fringe" benefits of fitness such as just feeling better about yourself, having more energy for your family and loved ones and living a life that begins every day by feeling good about getting up and getting moving.
Recent research by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed that ART babies are two to four times more likely to have certain kinds of birth defects. These may include heart and digestive system problems, and cleft (divided into two pieces) lips or palate. Researchers don't know why this happens. The birth defects may not be due to the technology. Other factors, like the age of the parents, may be involved. More research is needed. The risk is relatively low, but parents should consider this when making the decision to use ART.
In addition to addressing gender inequity in research, a number of countries have made women's health the subject of national initiatives. For instance in 1991 in the United States, the Department of Health and Human Services established an Office on Women's Health (OWH) with the goal of improving the health of women in America, through coordinating the women's health agenda throughout the Department, and other agencies. In the twenty first century the Office has focussed on underserviced women. Also, in 1994 the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) established its own Office of Women's Health (OWH), which was formally authorised by the 2010 Affordable Health Care Act (ACA).
We live in a modern world with amazing advancements in technology, yet our soil lacks minerals that it once contained causing whatever grows out of it (i.e. fruits, vegetables, and whole foods) to be significantly lower in minerals than it once was. Not only is our soil different, but our food takes a long time to get to us! Unless we’re growing our own whole food in our gardens, picking it out with our bare hands, and washing it off before eating, most likely our produce has been picked weeks before it reaches your grocery store and is purchased by you. This entire process can take weeks and cause nutrients to be depleted from the whole food (2).
“Nuts are a great source of protein and monounsaturated fatty acids,” says Hincman, as well as much needed vitamin E. Examples of great choices include walnuts, almonds, and hazelnuts. Nuts are also very calorie-dense, however, so you need only a palmful for good nutrition and to feel satisfied — just one-half ounce of nuts is considered equivalent to one ounce of a typical protein choices, like chicken or beef. Hincman suggests extending the volume in a serving of nuts by adding in raisins or dried cranberries.
Frankly, looking around, it seems your choice is either a magazine that barely addresses fitness, or going straight to the hardcore muscle-building mags. I was hoping for something reasonably in-between with Women's Health, but failed to find it. If someone knows of such a magazine, I'd be interested to hear it (I tried Women's Fitness, which suffers from the same problems as Women's Health). The good news is that my subscription to Women's Health seemed to get me a good price on Men's Health, which I am switching over to because some reviewers recommended it for those disappointed with the content of WH. I'll see how that works out.
While defended by those cultures in which it constitutes a tradition, FGC is opposed by many medical and cultural organizations on the grounds that it is unnecessary and harmful. Short term health effects may include hemorrhage, infection, sepsis, and even result in death, while long term effects include dyspareunia, dysmenorrhea, vaginitis and cystitis. In addition FGC leads to complications with pregnancy, labor and delivery. Reversal (defibulation) by skilled personnel may be required to open the scarred tissue. Amongst those opposing the practice are local grassroots groups, and national and international organisations including WHO, UNICEF, UNFPA and Amnesty International. Legislative efforts to ban FGC have rarely been successful and the preferred approach is education and empowerment and the provision of information about the adverse health effects as well the human rights aspects.
Although creating financial incentives to lose weight isn't a new idea, now we know cashing in to stay motivated works long-term. In the longest study yet on this topic, Mayo Clinic researchers weighed 100 people monthly for one year, offering half the group $20 per pound lost plus a $20 penalty for every pound gained. Those in the monetary group dropped an average of nine pounds by the end of the year, while non-paid participants shed about two pounds. If you’re ready to gamble away weight, consider sites such as Healthywage, FatBet, or stickK.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) food pyramid system (www.mypyramid.gov) provides a good start by recommending that the bulk of your diet come from the grain group—this includes bread, cereal, rice and pasta— the vegetable group; and the fruit group. Select smaller amounts of foods from the milk group and the meat and beans group. Eat few—if any—foods that are high in fat and sugars and low in nutrients. The amount of food you should consume depends on your sex, age and level of activity.

The daily calcium recommendations are 1,000 milligrams a day for women under 50, and 1,500 milligrams a day for women 51 and older. Oddly enough, these are the same requirements for men, who are much less prone to osteoporosis than women. But the recommendation takes into account the fact that women are smaller than men. Thus the amount of daily calcium is greater for women on a proportional basis.
Many nutrition-sensitive approaches were delivered in broader community-based settings and more equitably reached women across the life course. Non-facilities-based settings more equitably delivered nutrition interventions to women who were not pregnant or lactating, and who were less engaged with health clinics and schools. For instance, food fortification, which was often delivered through markets, home visits, and community centers, seemed to be more effective at reaching women of reproductive age than health center–based delivery platforms. Community-level interventions are often reported as more equitable than platforms that require access to “fixed and well-equipped health facilities” (212). This aligns with our findings, where we found that community-based platforms such as home visits, community centers, homes of community leaders, work, mass media, mobile phones, and commercial settings were effective at reaching women across the life course (Table 1). Other delivery platforms such as marketplaces, water points, tailoring shops, and agricultural points for seeds or inputs were also effective. These locations need to be context-specific in order to capture where women spend their time. For instance, in countries where many adolescent girls do not attend school, school-based delivery platforms might be less effective. Delivery platforms also need to be sensitive to the sociodemographic differences that influence where women spend their time, such as differences for women in rural and urban areas, and of different socioeconomic statuses. Additional research needs to identify and report where women and adolescent girls are, and how best to reach them.
Grains, vegetables and fruits are essential to getting the vitamins, minerals, complex carbohydrates (starch and dietary fiber) and other nutrients you need to sustain good health. Some of these nutrients may even reduce your risk of certain kinds of cancer. But experts say we rarely eat enough of these foods. To make matters worse, we also eat too much of unhealthy types of food, including fat (and cholesterol), sugar and salt.
These challenges are included in the goals of the Office of Research on Women's Health, in the United States, as is the goal of facilitating women's access to careers in biomedicine. The ORWH believes that one of the best ways to advance research in women's health is to increase the proportion of women involved in healthcare and health research, as well as assuming leadership in government, centres of higher learning, and in the private sector. This goal acknowledges the glass ceiling that women face in careers in science and in obtaining resources from grant funding to salaries and laboratory space. The National Science Foundation in the United States states that women only gain half of the doctorates awarded in science and engineering, fill only 21% of full-time professor positions in science and 5% of those in engineering, while earning only 82% of the remuneration their male colleagues make. These figures are even lower in Europe.
The recommended daily intake for vitamin E is 15 mg. Don't take more than 1,000 mg of alpha-tocopherol per day. This amount is equivalent to approximately 1,500 IU of "d-alpha-tocopherol," sometimes labeled as "natural source" vitamin E, or 1,100 IU of "dl-alpha-tocopherol," a synthetic form of vitamin E. Consuming more than this could increase your risk of bleeding because vitamin E can act as an anticoagulant (blood thinner).
Picture your perfect self with your flat abs, firmer butt, and slim thighs every day. Seeing really is believing: “You become consciously and acutely aware of everything that can help you achieve the visualized outcome that you desire when you impress an idea into the subconscious part of you,” says celebrity yoga coach Gwen Lawrence. “It eventually becomes ‘fixed,’ and you automatically move toward that which you desire.”
Iodine is needed for normal mental development of the baby, but it can be difficult to get enough from food. Ways of increasing iodine intake include using iodised salt, eating fish and seafood weekly (see your health professional for advice about safe types and amounts of fish), or using a multivitamin supplement that contains iodine and is safe for pregnancy.
The total fat in your daily diet should average no more than 30 percent of your total calories consumed. And saturated fat should be no more than 10 percent of those 30 percent of calories. The amount of fat and saturated fat you eat depends on the foods you select and consume that have fat in them. Consider consulting with a nutrition professional to learn more about how to calculate your fat needs and to not exceed what are healthy amounts. There are many tools available to help you determine how much fat you should consume each day based on your current energy and nutrition needs. Reading food labels is one way to begin to identify where and how much fat is in particular food items.
The trick to biking uphill is to look ahead and anticipate. “Try to plan for what's coming,” says Georgia Gould, a LUNA pro athlete and 2012 Olympic bronze medalist in women's mountain biking. “Start shifting down one gear at a time for a smooth, energy-saving transition. Ideally your cadence should stay the same as you transition from harder to easier gears.”

Behavioral differences also play a role, in which women display lower risk taking including consume less tobacco, alcohol, and drugs, reducing their risk of mortality from associated diseases, including lung cancer, tuberculosis and cirrhosis. Other risk factors that are lower for women include motor vehicle accidents. Occupational differences have exposed women to less industrial injuries, although this is likely to change, as is risk of injury or death in war. Overall such injuries contributed to 3.5% of deaths in women compared to 6.2% in the United States in 2009. Suicide rates are also less in women.
Globally, women's access to health care remains a challenge, both in developing and developed countries. In the United States, before the Affordable Health Care Act came into effect, 25% of women of child-bearing age lacked health insurance. In the absence of adequate insurance, women are likely to avoid important steps to self care such as routine physical examination, screening and prevention testing, and prenatal care. The situation is aggravated by the fact that women living below the poverty line are at greater risk of unplanned pregnancy, unplanned delivery and elective abortion. Added to the financial burden in this group are poor educational achievement, lack of transportation, inflexible work schedules and difficulty obtaining child care, all of which function to create barriers to accessing health care. These problems are much worse in developing countries. Under 50% of childbirths in these countries are assisted by healthcare providers (e.g. midwives, nurses, doctors) which accounts for higher rates of maternal death, up to 1:1,000 live births. This is despite the WHO setting standards, such as a minimum of four antenatal visits. A lack of healthcare providers, facilities, and resources such as formularies all contribute to high levels of morbidity amongst women from avoidable conditions such as obstetrical fistulae, sexually transmitted diseases and cervical cancer.

Share repurchases have soared since the Great Recession ended, totaling more than $950 billion just in the past two years alone.

Tallahassee Reports has learned that the owners of the Edison Restaurant in Cascades Park, did not disclose investors in the Edison restaurant on the application for a beverage license, as required by Florida state law.
Cascade Holdings, LLC, doing business as The Edison, filed for a Florida state beverage license on September 2, 2015. The license allows for the sale of alcohol on the restaurant premises.
The beverage license application states:
I swear under oath or affirmation under penalty of perjury as provided for in Sections 559.791, 562.45 and 837.06, Florida Statutes, that I have fully disclosed any and all parties financially and or contractually interested in this business and that the parties are disclosed in the Disclosure of Interested Parties of this application. I further swear or affirm that the foregoing information is true and correct.
Both Adam Corey and Ryan Grindler, managers of Cascade Holdings, signed the documents in the presence of a notary public. See application here.
The Tallahassee Democrat reported for the first time, in an article on October 18th, 2015, that there were financial investors beyond Corey and Grindler.
From the article:
One of the investors is Sean Pittman, whose company, ESP Media, has worked for Gillum’s campaigns. Pittman also is a city lobbyist, who for years has subcontracted under powerful Florida lobbyist Ron Book.
Pittman is one of about a dozen wealthy investors. The smallest investment is one percent, representing $12,500, Corey said, and no one owns more than 10 percent. Corey secured a commercial loan to transform the eyesore into a showpiece.
Corey and Grindler told the Democrat that they had rather not reveal the names of the investors.
However, the application for a Florida state beverage license includes one page dedicated to disclosing investors and related questions. Go to page 7 of the application here.
Corey and Grindler disclosed that they were the only owners, which contradicts the statements made to the Tallahassee Democrat.
Tallahassee Reports talked to Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) and was told that all investors with more than a 1/2 percent interest would have to be disclosed, even if the investment occurred after the beverage application was filed.
A public records request by TR revealed that no such disclosure has been filed with the DBPR.
In addition, sources tell TR that there are questions about the timing of the investments and the filing of the beverage license application.
As previously stated, the application for the Edison was filed on September 2, 2015.
Sean Pittman, an investor, tweeted on September 14th that he was a partner.
Did any individual investment from other than Corey and Grindler take place before the beverage application was filed with the state of Florida on September 2, 2015?
If so, penalties could include revocation of the beverage license.
DBPR told Tallahassee Reports that the only way this could be determined would be with an investigation initiated by the Division of Alcohol, Beverages and Tobacco.
Editor’s Note: Tallahassee Reports continues to get calls and emails from citizens and business owners regarding the operation of the Edison. When we can verify information with documents we will publish reports.
Hmm, I wonder how this might tie in with the current Meyers park public land grab proposal right around the corner.
Fools by the time the investors cash in on their free years worth of profits. Serving 100 guest cheap appetizers and building sales are 30k for a night most consider a failure. Srx letting them sell alcohol without that 400k license .
Right now investors have made huge gains because they will not be able to pay the rent, they used the free year to boost profits.
What are the chances that some of the invested funds came from a recent Bitcoin/bank fraud scheme? Look at Corey’s past restaurant partners.
Not surprised by this corruption…the Democrat ignores any bad news, for example, the weekly murders. Typical southern good old boy crime….they would not last a day in the North
Soooo, what’s the over/under that the reason Corey and Grindler don’t want to disclose the names of the investors is that Andrew Gilliams name tops the list???
It is very easy for a restaurant to get a liquor license in the state of Florida provided they sell more food than liquor. For bars that don’t sell food or little food, it is very expensive. I can assure you with a 100% personal knowledge that ownership in restaurants is rarely revealed for this form of license or others and it’s never checked. Right or wrong that’s just how DBPR has decided to operate. DBPR has so many issues yet no one is willing to investigate them. Their investigators are told to find violations even when none exist. Just talk to the investigators who left knowing on good conscience they couldn’t do what they were asked to do.
I don’t see anyone revoking this license or any other for potentially not disclosing investor information.
I am not an expert in this field, but friends who are, tell me to get a liquor license in this town is harder than getting a marriage annulled by the Pope of Rome. And more expensive to the tune of $400,000. TR may want to find out how the owners of Edison got their liquor license.
None of this is surprising because the laws do not apply to them. More to the truth, they know our State Attorney, Sleepy Willie Meggs, is too lazy to prosecute these white collar cases because they are and I quote him “too hard”. So there is the incentive to lie on the application because they know there is no enforcement.
I’ve lived in Tallahassee for the past eight years. Prior to this I lived in Orlando and Tampa Bay for a larger number of years. Perhaps now I’m more inclined to observe politics and elected official conduct these days than in my main working and child-raising years when I was focused on other priorities.
However, just from my eight years as a Tallahassee resident, I can honestly say I’ve never seen a more corrupt, collusive, devious, dishonest local government and group of elected officials than in Tallahassee. (Other than the last eight years of the Obama administration, who dominate the category hands-down.)
Hopefully the liquor license will be revoked so those who omitted (lied on) the legally-required investor information are at least punished to some degree. One wonders if taxpayer funds were somehow diverted or “redistributed” as loan money for some of the investors. Perhaps if this sort of conduct goes on long enough, the law violations will be serious enough for criminal prosecution, and Tallahassee can at laest start the process of finding better-quality people to elect to city government.
I believe someone needs to be arrested.
The State has someone who oversees hotels and restaurants; Hotel and Restaurant Administration it was called. If it no longer operates under that name there is still someone. Also, there is an Association (or was)of a similar title that lobbied for those businesses. Under whatever name those interests exist, what say they?
I don’t know which I enjoy more: The dumb antics of our local dimbulb, petty crooks or the artful way TR always shines a light on them.
I cannot believe these people are allowed to continuously circumvent (liberal for “break) the law! Ordinary citizens would go directly to jail, liquor license revoked and put out of business. Could citizens file a suit against the city for misleading the taxpayers and refusing to release records and continue to finance these criminals with our money? Seems lawyers are always helping the politicians scam the system, what about attorneys to stand up for us?
I believe it. Voters don’t care what their politicians do so long as they make the right noises.
I wonder if any elected officials are investors…

Alan Thicke has died at age 69, The Hollywood Reporter reports. The actor — who was best known for his role as Jason Seaver in Growing Pains, and more recently, as Mike on Fuller House — passed away from a heart attack while playing hockey with his 19-year-old son, Carter. He was transported to Providence St. Joseph's Medical Center in Burbank, CA, around noon and pronounced dead there. He is survived by wife Tanya and his three sons, Robin, Brennan, and Carter.
Robin spoke to The LA Times after the news broke and called his father "the greatest man I ever met" and "always a gentleman." "The good thing was that he was beloved and he had closure. I saw him a few days ago and told him how much I loved and respected him," he added. Alan's Fuller House costar, fellow TV dad Bob Saget, also tweeted his condolences that same evening.
So sad is the passing of Alan Thicke. Such a good husband, father, brother, and friend. He will be deeply missed. Rest in peace dear Alan.— bob saget (@bobsaget) December 14, 2016

For the people struggling with metal illness and mental health issues on a daily basis, today is about creating a safe space for conversations to happen, to take mental health issues out of the dark, taboo places and insinuate them into the general population. To create awareness. To create empathy and understanding. To educate and attempt to eradicate some of the stigma that plagues any illness that is not physical in nature.
And I have a theory.
I believe that we all struggle with mental illness and mental health. Every single one of us. Depression, anxiety, addictions, narcissism, social dysfunction, phobias, compulsions, delusions, we all have something. Some of us battle daily. Some of us battle once in our lifetime. Some of us are triggered seasonally. And some of us completely unaware that we are suffering from an actual illness and think we’re just fine, but can’t explain why we do, think or say the things that we do. Not understanding why some things just keep on happening ‘to us.’ Some of us struggle our whole lives and some of us struggle with mental illness and health during various phases of our lives. The point is, no one gets out unscathed. This effects us all.
And that is okay.
It is okay not to be ‘perfect’ and have it all together, all the time. It is okay to need a little (or a lot) of help. It is okay to need medication, therapy, comfort, and to retreat to regroup. It is okay to not be strong all of the time and really, sometimes we are the strongest when we are the most vulnerable.
I am very aware of my imperfections, issues and struggles 365 days a year. The older I get, the more issues I realize that I have. And that is okay. We are all imperfect. We are all in this together. If I see you struggling, I will offer whatever help that I can. Be it an ear to listen, advice, chocolate, or, if we’re really good friends, help hiding the body.
My door (virtual) is always open (I’d keep my actual door open, but last time I left the screen unlocked a racoon walked into my kitchen and stole the cat food, so I keep things pretty Fort Knox’d now). If you’re feeling like you’re the only one who yelled at her kids, didn’t do mothering perfectly, fed her family whatever was around, screwed up at work, ate too much or too little, are overwhelmed by all of the demands placed on you – for your time, you attention, your affection, for your YOU – you are not alone.
My door is open. So for this Bell Let’s Talk Day, and everyday until the next one, Let’s Talk.

Toronto Star Article Chantaie Allick Staff Reporter
Waiting list for mental-health services is a major problem facing patients
Austin Williamson, 15, has attended 20 schools and been on waiting lists for counselling services most of his life. It is only now that there’s a glimmer of hope.
He waited until he was 9 before being diagnosed with attention deficit disorder, and an array of related developmental problems — autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, pervasive development disorder not otherwise specified, intermittent explosive disorder.
And it is only now — after a wait that spanned five years — that mother and son are feeling a glimmer of hope for the future.
Waiting times for access to counselling or mental health services has been identified as a major barrier in Canada. And the case of Kim and Austin Williamson offers a good example of the difficulties families face.
In his early years, Austin lived with his mother in Durham, where they could find few agencies equipped to help children with the difficulties he faced. So mother and son moved to Toronto, where there are many more services — and similarly lengthy waiting lists.
As a result, Austin received no treatment for his episodic rages. Williamson, a single mother, recalls a night when she had to take him to the emergency room — on the way he was punching the car windows so hard she thought he would break them. The hospital sedated him.
Austin’s difficulties escalated when he was about 9. It seems as if he was being sent home from school every day. At this point he was only diagnosed with ADD and was on another waiting list for treatment. Williamson couldn’t afford a psychiatrist to have him reassessed and diagnosed.
“It got to the point where we were in crisis every day,” she says. “I just couldn’t wait any more. We were falling apart.”
Williamson realized there was only one thing she could do: She took him to the Children’s Aid Society, “because I knew if I did that we would get the help we needed right away,” she says. They did. Austin stayed in a group home for almost two years, giving his mother time to regroup and get services in place.
Williamson and Austin moved to Scarborough last year and, for the first time, progress is being made.
“I just thought I’ve got to do something different for our lives,” says Williamson. Even their proximity to the bus system has helped because Austin can now attend appointments on his own.
In June, he will complete his first full year at a single school. It’s his 20th school.
In short, they have finally started to get consistent help after a lifetime of waiting.
Austin has access to regular couselling services and recently was assigned a personal support worker (albeit after waiting since September). He is in a special-education program at school and there are number of after-school and youth services for him to get involved in close to their apartment.
While he was waiting to be assigned a case worker, Austin used the walk-in clinic at East Metro Youth Services. The What’s Up Walk-In is a new program that provides counselling for youth five days a week. There is no waiting. It’s a rare fix in a broken and breaking system. (The centre’s regular counselling service has a six-month wait list.)
The hope is that the walk-in clinic will reduce hospital emergency room visits and provide treatment for issues teens face before they escalate.
It has helped more than 350 teens since the Scarborough location opened in November. Youth meet with two counsellors for up to 90 minutes, no OHIP card necessary. The kids leave equipped with solutions to address a specific mental health challenge they are facing. Two more locations were opened recently.
“It’s a comfort,” said Austin who smiles easily and talks about his diagnoses with the confidence of a teen used to speaking to adults. “Never before have we had everything right next to us.”

A farmer was fatally stabbed during a dispute over $100 in Mavis Bank, St Andrew on Monday.
The dead man has been identified as 28-year-old Janney Walker otherwise called Tedi, a resident of the community.
Reports are that Walker and another farmer were gambling in West Phalia square when an argument developed.
The argument escalated and the men got involved in a fight which the residents managed to stop.
The police reported that a few hours after, both men again crossed paths in another section of the community.
Another altercation developed, which led to a fight.
During the fight, Walker was stabbed several times. He was taken to hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The suspect has since been taken into custody.


One time late at night at Toronto’s Dakota Tavern during Jason Collett’s annual Basement Revue, Jimmy Shaw, the guitarist for Metric, sat down at the piano and played Pink Floyd’s Nobody Home. Already, there had been a series of unique performances — readings by poets from across Canada, a seemingly improvised story from a novelist and a crazy jam session between members of Broken Social Scene and Stars; the tightly packed club seemed ready to explode.
“We’re drawing from the greatest writers in the country, in music, and also in novels and poems,” says Collett, who has curated the Basement Revue for the past five years. “I get a real kick out of being the yenta of the whole thing.”
The Basement Revue, which is held across four Tuesdays in December at the west-end club, has become an annual highlight in both the literary and music communities. Damian Rogers, a poet and author of the book Paper Radio, says the Basement Revue provides an important boost to the country’s independent men and women of words.
“Poets are used to having a very small audience made up mostly of other poets and disinterested colleagues,” says Rogers, who stresses that the collaborations between musicians and authors has led to some of the evening’s most provoking work.
Rogers, whose husband plays drums in a rock ’n’ roll band, says she often feels nervous before she gets onstage to perform at The Dakota, but that the crowd ends up being receptive of her work.
“I imagine the audience, who isn’t essentially there for a reading, is going to be hostile, but I’ve witnessed crowds pay better attention at The Dakota than I have at many book launches,” she says. “What’s amazing about the Revue is Jason’s spirit and how he speaks to the audience and encourages them to get into the energy of what’s going on.”
This year marks a turning point for the Basement Revue as Collett says it’s the last time he’ll hold his festival at the beloved Dakota. With eyes on turning the four-night series into a larger event — securing funding and bringing in international acts, such as, perhaps, Patti Smith — the musician says this December’s incarnation will likely be a can’t miss event.
“People walk away feeling like they’re not just getting entertained, but, dare I say, seeing something kind of high brow, even if it’s with a lot of goofiness and frivolity at the same time,” says Collett, currently busy at work in a Toronto studio with Howie Beck and mixing his sixth disc. “The idea was always just to cultivate something that people knew would be good.”

Morley replaces Matthew Dearden, who has been promoted to president of Clear Channel Europe.
He resigned as Motorola's vice-president and general manager in the UK and Ireland in April, following its $2.9bn (£1.7bn) sale to Lenovo. A well known marketing leader, previously, Morley has been international vice president at Motorola, marketing director at Harrods Group and BSkyB, and a European marketing director at Ford.
Dearden joined Clear Channel four years ago to lead the UK business, and has helped develop a new investment strategy for the outdoor company.
He has lead the innovation programme with the introduction of the UK's first small-format digital network in London and more recently led in the roll out of Connect, Clear Channel's interactive mobile advertising platform, across the country.
He will continue to be based in London, and will still be involved in the UK business as part of his European role, and as Chair of Clear Channel UK.
Dearden told Media Week: "I have thoroughly enjoyed my role in the UK business, and I am really looking forward to the opportunity to now work on an international level as well. There are three key areas that I want to focus on.
"Firstly, harnessing powerful understanding of our advertisers, partners and markets. Secondly, designing and executing effective strategies using this insight.
"Finally, and most importantly, I will be working with leaders across the business to refine and develop all their ideas and develop them into clear action plans which drive the business forward."

Low-cost airline Jet2 nosedives to a £374m loss as pandemic turbulence wreaked havoc on its bottom line and passenger numbers plummeted
- Jet2 reports huge annual loss as pandemic hit sales and profits
- Transport Secretary Grant Shapps announcing travel updates today
Jet2 has revealed it slumped to a thumping £373.8million loss last year as Covid-19 forced it to ground its planes for months on end.
The airline said it had endured 'unparalleled operational and financial challenges' and only carried 1.32million passengers, marking a 91 per cent drop on the year before, when it carried over 14million people across its network.
The group had 370,000 package holiday customers travel on its planes last year, while the year before more than 3million people hopped on board for a break.
Details about how and when fully vaccinated travellers can return from certain countries without having to quarantine are to be set out later today by Transport Secretary Grant Shapps.
Keen to move on: Steve Heapy, the boss of Jet2, called for 'openness and transparency' on coronavirus data
In its financial update today, Jet2 said it had accessed £1billion in additional funding through shareholder and bank support last year to help it survive the pandemic.
The holiday and travel sector has been weighed down by travel bans, uncertainty and rapid rule changes in the past year, prompting, in many cases, mass job cuts, and dwindling sales and profits.
Holidaymakers in England are currently following a traffic light system which dictates if they have to quarantine when they return home, and how many coronavirus tests they have to take.
Shares in the Leeds-based firm have fallen this morning and are currently down 1.05 per cent or 13.00p to 1,225.00p.
A year ago the group's share price was 763.50p, meaning it has risen by around 60 per cent since then.
Looking ahead, Jet2 said it was optimistic that the summer of 2022 would see a 'considerable improvement' in sales, when compared against last year and this year.
It said: 'We are confident that once normality returns, our Customers will be determined to enjoy the wonderful experience of a well-deserved Jet2 holiday and that Jet2.com and Jet2holidays will continue to have a thriving future, taking millions of UK holidaymakers annually, to the Mediterranean, the Canary Islands and to European Leisure Cities and that Jet2 plc will emerge from this crisis an even stronger company.'
Last month, the cost-cost airline pushed back the resumption of flights and holidays from 24 June to 1 July, following government changes to travel lists, including switching Portugal from the 'green' list to 'amber'.
The firm's boss, Steve Heapy, called for 'openness and transparency' on coronavirus data so that the industry could better understand decisions affecting airlines and their customers.
But, remaining upbeat, Jet2 said today: 'We believe opportunities for a financially strong, resilient and trusted operators will only increase.'
Stinging loss: Jet2 slumped to a whopping £373.8m loss last year, today's figures show
Jet2's chairman, Philip Meeson said: 'Unsurprisingly given the continuing short-term uncertainty, customers are booking significantly closer to departure for summer '21.
'Bookings to date for winter '21/22 are satisfactory, they have slowed more recently given the ongoing speculation around international travel.
'Bookings for summer '22, for which package holiday bookings are displaying a materially higher mix of the total, are encouraging and with the vaccination progress being made, we are optimistic that summer '22 will be a considerable improvement.'
Neil Shah, director of research at Edison Group, said: 'With the past year being one of the hardest for the airline industry in the recent future, it is no wonder that Jet2 has reported a mixed set of results today.'
He added: 'With the majority of the UK anticipating positive news regarding foreign travel in the near future, Jet2, like many other airlines, will be looking to capitalise.
'However, it still looks that there may be some uncertainty regarding government restrictions, and a complete return to normality could be some way away.
'Undoubtedly there is a demand for tourists to head to the continent in the near future, however, with no firm rules from the UK government, and some form of restrictions looking likely to continue for the next month or so, this summer may not have the surge in popularity airlines like Jet2 were hoping for.'

This holiday season, WCCO is proud to partner with the Minnesota Assistance Council For Veterans (MACV) for “Home for the Holidays”. Our goal is to bring awareness and support to veteran homelessness in our community. MACV provides comprehensive programs and supportive services to veterans who are homeless or on the edge of homelessness.
During Vietnam, StandDowns provided a safe retreat for units returning from combat operations. They afforded battle-weary soldiers the opportunity to renew their spirit, health and overall sense of well-being. MACV has created their own version of a StandDown for veterans experiencing homelessness in our community. Their StandDowns bring veterans into one location and connect them with services to help bring a sense of security to their lives.
As part of “Home for the Holidays”, WCCO will host a Holiday StandDown on Thursday, December 14 at Target Field. 300 veterans will receive services such as haircuts, legal assistance, dental and medical care. We will provide a warm holiday meal along with a special program featuring Minnesota Twins notables and a musical performance by Kat Perkins.
On Tuesday, Nov. 28 and Dec. 5, join WCCO as we host phone banks benefiting MACV. Volunteers will be taking your calls during all WCCO newscasts. Proceeds from the phone banks will provide warm weather gear and essential needs kits for the veterans. Any additional money raised will go towards MACV’s overall mission to support homeless veterans in our community.
One of MACV’s biggest programs provides transitional and permanent housing to help veterans achieve self-sufficiency. The goal of the program is placement in appropriate housing with services that meet the needs of each veteran. While living in a safe environment, veterans can receive services such as job skills training, mortgage assistance, food vouchers and job search assistance.
To help spread the holiday cheer, WCCO is asking viewers to send us ornaments to hang on our Home for the Holiday’s Community Tree. Once the tree is filled with ornaments from around the state, we’ll bring it to one of MACV’s new transitional homes for the current family to enjoy this holiday season. WCCO hopes the Home for the Holiday’s Community Tree will bring joy to the family currently living in the home as well as future families that arrive at the MACV home. To learn more about donating an ornament, visit wcco.com/ornament.

7” dynamic flow iron maintains well pressure during operations and the has the ability to precisely position the crossover to the FracLock.
Dynamic flow iron attaches to the wellhead through the FracLock to allow high
pressure fluids to be exchanged from the surface into the well. The dynamic flow iron
is constructed with 5 axes of rotation to easily maneuver around the well site.
Designed to Safely Contain Well Fluids During Operations and to Efficiently Move
Around the Location for Proper Placement of Equipment
The dynamic flow iron is constructed for high pressure operations through exhaustive
analysis, simulations, and testing. It is fixed to the articulated arm with fasteners that
allow necessary movement while keeping it completely restrained.
Engineered Flow Path Reduces Erosion and Extends Life of Equipment
Elbows, swivels, and joints are optimized to reduce erosion which significantly extends
the life of the construction material. After testing for 3,960 hours, erosion approached
20% while maintaining a safe wall thickness without predictive failure or washout.


Police are looking into at least three possible motives behind the barbaric murder of Buddhist monk Maung Shue U at Naikhongchhari upazila in Bandarban.
“We are considering three different possibilities – the problems with the construction of Maung's temple, his family feuds, and the militants,” said Mizanur Rahman, superintendent of police in Bandarban, on Monday.
He further said there was another possibility of Rohingyas being involved in the murder.
The monk, 70, was found in a pool of blood by his daughter-in-law around 5am on Saturday when she went into the temple to give him food, local sources told the Dhaka Tribune. Police said the monk had been hacked in the neck.
Maung's family claimed that he did not have any enmity or dispute with anyone in or outside his family. His son Ching Sa U Chak filed a murder case with Naikhongchhari police station on Saturday evening.
According to locals, the Buddhist temple in Chakpara was established two years ago in a quite place. As part of religious rituals, Maung had been living in the temple alone for two years, meditating.
Police sources said drives were in progress around Naikhonchhari to detain suspects of the murder, and additional teams had been deployed to patrol the area.
In addition to the local police, six senior officials from the district Detective Branch have been sent to investigate the murder, said Naikhonchhari police station OC Abul Khayer.
Police have already arrested three people in connection with the case. They were picked up on early Sunday in the upazila's Baishari union.
The arrestees are Ziaur Rahman, 25, Abdur Rahim, 40, and Chha Mong Chak, 45. Of the trio, Zia and Rahim are Rohingyas, police said.
Superintendent Mizan said police did not obtain any significant information during the primary interrogation of the detainees, which is why they would petition to place the arrestees on remand.
“We are hopeful that we will be able to solve this mystery soon.”
Maung's funeral was held yesterday afternoon in Chakpara. The ceremony was attended my Buddhist monks who came from around the country.
Protests have been taking place to demand justice for the slain monk. The murder has created widespread panic among the minorities in the area.
“We still cannot believe that someone like Maung would get killed. He was a calm person who lived by himself,” said Mongbaching Chak, local Awami League leader.

Nollywood actress and billionaire wife, Regina Daniels clocked a year older on October 10, 2021, and she marked it in classic celebrity style.
The gorgeous young mother of one is no stranger to the luxurious side of life, having gotten married to one of the richest men in Nigeria, Ned Nwoko, and it shows in the way she dresses.
And with a new fashion house up and running, Regina made sure to come correct for her birthday shoot.
The Nollywood star on her big day, uploaded photos of herself in an interesting look that once again reminded her fans just how unpredictable she can be.
Rather than the usual ball gowns and structured pieces most celebrities often rock for their birthdays, Regina opted for a black two-piece with a floor-length sheer train that also served as a coverup.
PAY ATTENTION: Join Legit.ng Telegram channel! Never miss important updates!
The ivory beauty who held up black balloons finished off her look with a sparkly tiara elegantly placed on her long blond weave.
Sharing the photos, she captioned:
"The beautiful thing about life, is that we will never reach an age where there is nothing left to Learn, See or Be; it’s magical really. Happy birthday once again dear REGINA (queen)."
See another photo below:
Shaffy Bello's birthday shoot
Talented Nollywood actress, Shaffy Bello, clocked a year older on Friday, October 8, 2021, and she has taken to her Instagram page to mark the day in style.
The screen diva whose sense of style has earned her a place on the Nigerian fashion scene did not disappoint her fans and followers as she first released a photo of herself in a now-popular design by Xtrabrides Lagos.
Well, Bello decided to get a piece of that pie as well, only she got hers in form of what appears to be a jumpsuit.
Jackie B's fashion transformation
Jackie B didn't exactly win a lot of hearts with her sense of style during her stay in the Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) house, but all that has certainly changed since her shot into the limelight.
The curvaceous mother of one has been serving it to her fans 'hot hot' and everybody is here for the heat!
While she appeared a bit more reserved and conscious of herself - as it reflected in her dress sense - Jackie B has proven that she now means business when it comes to rocking impressive ensembles.


The Penguin Foundation hosted two groups from Deloitte as part of their Impact Day. The volunteers visited the Penguin Parade Visitor Centre where they learnt all about Little Penguins, oil spills and the Knits for Nature jumper program. They then assisted the Foundation team in sorting hundreds of jumpers for rehabilitation, education and retail sales. Another group received a tour of the Koala Conservation Reserve and participated in sorting, categorizing and recycling or disposing of marine debris which was collected on beaches across Phillip Island.
Corporate team building plays an important role in supporting the Penguin Foundation’s work to protect and enhance Phillip Island’s natural environment and its native wildlife. We provide four activities including revegetation, weed removal, beach cleans and penguin jumper sorting with all experiences run by knowledgeable and passionate staff. Book a meaningful experience in nature with employee, company and environmental benefits and leave knowing you made a positive impact.

The Eindhoven cultural organizations are angry about the new plans that the municipality has for the sector.
Councillor Fiers wants to make the cultural sector more flexible. Organizations will be receiving less money in the long term. They will also have to show evidence of their success every year to be eligible for the grant amount for the following year.
The councillor wants to use the culture budget more for incidental projects. According to the culture organizations this will cause business organizational problems. They see the plan as a new round of austerity measures.
Through the new plan, the Council wants the sector to have more focus on cultural education and wants the current institutions to show more entrepreneurship.
The organizations are still assured of their structural grant until 2017. In two weeks, the City Council will discuss the proposed cultural plan.

A few dragonfly photos as I’m in the process of some artwork. I think that she was probably on her last day or close to expiring. I think this because of docile behavior and because she looks old in the face and the jagged wing tips.
I was asked recently if I illustrate dragonflies. I do but have not posted one. The reason being that most of the insects I illustrate are created with field guide quality in mind. In other words, one should be able to use my illustrations for identification purposes. When identifying a dragonfly the markings often used are the cells and veins on the wings right down to the smallest detail. Those details may only be noticeable to the trained, keen-eyed entomologist. Though keen-eyed, I am not a trained entomologist. That said, this illustration is very accurate however, I cannot guarantee that I did not leave out a vein line or add extra cells.
So Vani suggested that I paint something uhh a little less technical. He told me to begin with only paintbrush and paints. NO pre-drawing, NO planning and NO thinking. Grrrrrr! I worked at it for days and I’m still not sure if I like it or if it’s finished. She went through several incarnations before settling on this one. She is similar to the Lilliputians that I draw in my sketchbooks, but they rarely meet canvas and paints. Any suggestions-positive or negative- are welcome. The painting can use a name too….

Glycemic control and the psychosocial benefits gained by patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus attending the diabetes camp
ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of diabetes camp on glycemic control, knowledge, and psychosocial benefits among patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Glycemic control among patients with infrequent and frequent self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) was also compared.
During a 5-day camp, 60 patients were taught diabetes self-management education (DSME). After camp, patients were divided into two groups based on frequency of SMBG (<3 versus 3-4 times/day) and were followed up until 6-month post-camp. Patients' HbA1c levels and knowledge were assessed at baseline, 3- and 6-month post-camp. Patients' impressions towards camp were assessed.
In both SMBG groups, HbA1c levels decreased significantly at 3-month post-camp but did not sustain at 6-month monitoring. The patients with frequent SMBG had a lower mean HbA1c level. A significant improvement in knowledge was noted and sustained up to 6-month post-camp. The patients found diabetes camp of benefit and felt they could better cope with diabetes.
Although the effect of the diabetes camp on glycemic control was short-lived, an improvement in knowledge and a better attitude towards having diabetes were seen among participants.
The psychosocial benefits and knowledge gained by patients attending diabetes camp underline the importance of including a camp in a diabetes management plan. To improve patients' long-term glycemic control, a continuous education is required.

ABSTRACT: To examine the effects of insulin dose adjustments on rates of hypoglycaemia for school-aged children with Type 1 diabetes attending camp. Camp records for 256 children aged 7-15 years (55% on continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion) attending a week-long residential summer camp were analysed. In anticipation of increased physical activity, basal insulin was decreased for all children on continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion and injection therapy by 10% upon arrival at camp. During the first day, children on continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion received 11.1±6.3% less basal insulin than home doses, whereas children on injections decreased intermediate/long-acting insulin by 8.2±12.8%. Despite these decreases, 60% had at least one blood sugar level <70 mg/dl (3.9 mmol/l) during the first day. Children on continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion were more likely to have hypoglycaemia during the first day than those on injections. The number of episodes of hypoglycaemia increased with increasing camper age. Overall, children did not have further significant reductions in their total daily insulin dose by the last day of camp. However, on the last day, children had fewer episodes of hypoglycaemia than during the first day (0.7±0.9 vs. 1.1±1.2, P<0.001) and 51% had no low blood sugar levels that day. An empiric 10% reduction in basal insulin appears reasonable, as nearly equal numbers of children required dose increases as dose decreases as camp progressed. However, hypoglycaemia was still common in all age groups. Prospective studies characterizing individual variables are needed in order to facilitate tailored insulin dose adjustments that minimize glycaemic variability while optimizing control in the diabetes camp setting.Diabetic Medicine 12/2010; 28(4):480-6.

ABSTRACT: AIMS: The objective of this retrospective analysis of blood glucose values at a week-long residential summer camp for children with Type 1 diabetes was to provide experiential data to reinforce current summer camp guidelines and to determine if specific interventions implemented between 2009 and 2010 were effective in lowering average blood glucose among our campers without increasing risk of hypoglycaemia. METHODS: Blood glucose records were obtained from a random selection of children who attended six 1-week camp sessions, three each in 2009 and 2010. Five values per day: pre-meal breakfast, lunch and dinner, pre-evening snack and midnight values were analysed. RESULTS: A total of 13 267 blood glucose values were included. There were no severe hypoglycaemic episodes, seizures or need for full-dose glucagon or intravenous glucose in either year. Mean blood glucose was significantly lower in 2010 compared with 2009 (9.22 vs. 10.06 mmol/l, P < 0.001). Older age and camp year were associated with lower mean blood glucose, even when controlling for gender and duration of diabetes. CONCLUSIONS: This analysis is the largest so far conducted at a residential diabetes camp. Mean blood glucose levels were lower than other published studies. Although we cannot attribute a cause-and-effect relationship between our interventions and the improvement in blood glucose between 2009 and 2010, the use of pre-meal insulin bolus doses, low glycaemic meals and highlighting blood glucose levels in logs before being reviewed by endocrinologists are strongly encouraged. From this study we hope to establish benchmarks for comparison among camps and begin to identify best practices. © 2012 The Authors.

ABSTRACT: Advances in medicine have reduced mortality among children with complex medical conditions, resulting in a growing number of young patients living with chronic illnesses. Despite an improved prognosis, these children experience significant psychosocial morbidity, such as depression and anxiety. Therapeutic summer recreation camps have been proposed as an intervention to enhance quality of life among these children. The purpose of this systematic review was to assess the psychosocial impact of camp for children with chronic illnesses. A systematic review of central databases was undertaken using key words, and a rating tool – the Effective Public Health Practice Project (EPHPP) Quality Assessment Tool for Quantitative Studies – was employed to rate methodological quality. 21 studies were included in this systematic review. Although overall methodological quality was weak, camp participation appeared to offer short-term psychosocial benefits on some parameters in children with a variety of chronic illnesses. There was some consistency in improved social outcomes, such as social interaction and acceptance. Based on the available evidence, it is premature to make robust claims regarding the psychosocial impact of camp as a therapeutic intervention. Theoretically informed camp programs, long-term follow-up, and incorporating camp-based messaging into routine hospital care, may enhance the utility of camp as a potential psychosocial intervention in paediatrics.Child Care Health and Development 11/2013; 40(5).

Becca and I met Ashley over coffee at Starbucks. There was an instant ease when we started chatting. She was extremely organized and I could tell right off the the bat that we were going to be a great fit. She was one of those clients that you don't mind meeting with, love the phone conferences because they are so productive, and a client that affirms you rock at your job. I loved every second of this wedding. She had hired us for a Day of Service plus Design, but it ended up being a little more planning as there were so many logistics to pulling this day off!
Ashley and Matthew decided to get married in his parents front lawn. When she took me out to the property, I could see exactly why she wanted it there! It was beautiful! The house was a gorgeous back drop and the fields in the distance made this "southern elegance" wedding perfect.
She was a no fuss bride and that translated into her design. She loved simplicity, white, and metals. Nothing too glitzy, a simple, understated, elegance with a hint of southern hospitality mixed in. I loved it! I loved her vision and the design came so naturally.
We picked Mitchell's mostly because of their ability to handle a 200+ crowd and of course their awesome food! She wanted it to be more a cocktail party, so we had 4 different stations that guests could try. The plan was to have it spilling outside of the tent some, but this was the first Saturday in a string of Saturdays that fall that it just plain rained every.single.wedding. She took it in stride and we executed our very thought out rain plain beautifully.
The night was perfect. The couple was gorgeous! Seriously Ashley should be a model! She was just glowing and so calm the entire night. Matthew was so sweet and you could tell that he just thought the world of Ashley. It was a sweet ceremony and I loved seeing the two of them just grin at each other the entire time.
The tent was gorgeous with a full liner and crystal chandeliers The linens were stunning, and the flowers were just the cherry on top. I loved the bouquet Courtney created and LOVED the centerpieces with our new mercury glass candlesticks. The band crushed it. Seriously. They were awesome! The bride requested some good 'ol classic late 90's early 2000 songs so they did a mashup of Backstreet, N'sync, Britney, and Spice Girls. It was so much fun!
It was sad to put this folder in my "past brides" section! I am so thrilled to show you some of my favorite images from an amazing night!

Iran is taking quite seriously Saudi Arabia’s accusing it of an act of war for supplying Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels with a missile aimed at the Saudi capital, Riyadh. The Saudis also warned Lebanon,, dominated by Iran’s proxy, Hezbollah, that “the coming developments will definitely be astonishing.”
The Iranian regime became upset when its own hard-line Kayhan daily confirmed the Saudi charges by boasting “Ansar-Allah’s missile fires at Riyadh, the next target, Dubai.” The mullahs punished Kayhan for its true but indiscrete revelation by suspending its publication for two days.
Jerusalem Post columnist Caroline Glick hails the Saudi shakeup ordered by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. She notes that
“There can be little doubt that there was coordination between the Saudi regime and the Trump administration regarding Saturday’s [internal Saudi purge] actions. The timing of the administration’s release last week of most of the files US special forces seized during their 2011 raid of al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan was likely not a coincidence.
“The files, which the Obama administration refused to release, make clear that Obama’s two chief pretensions – that al-Qaida was a spent force by the time US forces killed bin Laden, and that Iran was interested in moderating its behavior were both untrue. The documents showed that al-Qaida’s operations remained a significant worldwide threat to US interests.
“And perhaps more significantly, they showed that Iran was al-Qaida’s chief state sponsor. Much of al-Qaida’s leadership, including bin Laden’s sons, operated from Iran. The notion – touted by Obama and his administration – that Shi’ite Iranians and Sunni terrorists from al-Qaida and other groups were incapable of cooperating was demonstrated to be an utter fiction by the documents.”
Angelo Codevilla concludes his four-part series on terrorism and the Euro-American ruling class’s failures by stressing how disarmed the West has become by denying state sponsorship of terrorism, playing down its Islamic background, and expanding Islamic immigration, despite the cultural incompatibilities.
The British royal family not only has bowed out of honoring Israel’s existence and the centennial of the Balfour Agreement, but an anti-Semitic letter that Prince Charles wrote in 1986 has come to light.
For the first time, Prince Charles was permitted to stand in for his mother, Queen Elizabeth, in laying the memorial wreath on Remembrance Day Sunday, the UK equivalent of the US holiday of Armistice Day / V

It's one of the most fundamental compounds on Earth, and it makes up roughly 60 percent of the human body, and yet water is turning out to be stranger than we could have ever imagined.
Researchers have been investigating the physical properties of water, and found that when it's heated to between 40 and 60 degrees Celsius, it hits a 'crossover temperature', and appears to start switching between two different states of liquid.
As a chemical compound, water is so vital to life on Earth, we've been underestimating how legitimately weird it is.
We've all gotten so used to it, it's hard to imagine things getting any more complex than the three basic states: solid, liquid, gas. (Under very rare circumstances, a plasma-like state can also form.)
But in many ways, plain, old water is unlike any other substance on the planet.
With the exception of Mercury, water has the highest surface tension of all liquids. It's also one of the only known substances whose solid state can float on its liquid state, and unlike almost every other known substance, water expands when it freezes.
It also has a bizarre boiling point. While the boiling points of other hydrides, such as hydrogen telluride and hydrogen sulphide, decrease as their molecule size decreases, H2O has a surprisingly large boiling point for such a small molecular weight.
"No one really understands water," Philip Ball points out in Nature. "It's embarrassing to admit it, but the stuff that covers two-thirds of our planet is still a mystery. Worse, the more we look, the more the problems accumulate: new techniques probing deeper into the molecular architecture of liquid water are throwing up more puzzles."
Now physicists have demonstrated that somewhere between the temperatures of 40 and 60 degrees Celsius (104 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit), liquid water can 'switch' states, exhibiting a whole new set of properties depending on the state it flips to.
To figure this out, an international team led by physicist Laura Maestro from the University of Oxford in the UK looked at a number of specific properties of water.
They looked at things like thermal conductivity, refractive index, conductivity, surface tension, and the dielectric constant - how well an electric field can spread through a substance - and how they responded to fluctuations in temperature between 0 and 100 degrees Celsius.
Once the water hit 40 degrees, things started to shift, and properties were changing all the way up to 60 degrees. Each property had a different 'crossover temperature' somewhere within this threshold, and the researchers suggest that this is because the liquid water had switched into a different phase.
The team lists a few of these crossover temperatures: approximately 64 degrees Celsius for thermal conductivity, 50 degrees Celsius for refractive index, about 53 degrees Celsius for conductivity, and 57 degrees Celsius for surface tension.
"These results confirm that in the 0-100 degrees Celsius range, liquid water presents a crossover temperature in many of its properties close to 50 degrees Celsius," they conclude.
So what's going on here? It's not yet clear, but the fact that water could be switching between two entirely different states of liquid at certain temperatures could be linked to why H2O has such unusual properties in general.
Water molecules maintain only very short-lived connections between each other, and these hydrogen bonds are actually far weaker than the bonds that link the individual hydrogen and oxygen atoms inside the molecules.
For this reason, the hydrogen bonds that link water molecules together are constantly breaking and reforming, and yet within all that chaos, set structures and 'rules' persist. Physicists suspect that this is what gives water its unusual properties - but no one's entirely sure how it works.
"Everyone is agreed that one aspect of water's molecular structure sets it apart from most other liquids: fleeting hydrogen bonds," Ball writes for Nature.
"These feeble bonds that link the molecules constantly break and form above water's melting point, yet still impose a degree of structure on the molecular jumble. That's where the consensus ends."
While Maestro and her team's results will need to be replicated by an independent team before we can start rewriting textbooks to reflect the four (or 3.5?) states of water that could potentially exist, they say their discovery could have big implications for our understanding of both nano and biological systems.
"For example, the optical properties of metallic (gold and silver) nanoparticles dispersed in water, used as nanoprobes, and the emission properties of … quantum dots, used for fluorescence bioimaging and tumour targeting, show a singular behaviour in this temperature range," they write in their paper.
"[It also] raises the question of whether temperature-driven structural changes in water affect biological macromolecules in aqueous solutions, and in particular in proteins, which are the vital functional biological units in living cells."
The research has been published in the International Journal of Nanotechnology.

A teacher whose school failed to deal properly with 18 months of racial abuse from pupils has won £10,000 in compensation.
The payout was among £14.9 million that the NASUWT teaching union secured for its members in 2018.
The payments were awarded for successful claims including unfair dismissal, unlawful discrimination, personal injuries and criminal assault.
Compensation: £250k for teacher who fell off a table
Exclusive: Call for schools to do more for teacher mental health
Read: Teachers get thousands in compensation claims
The union, which released details ahead of its annual conference over Easter, said it had experienced a “significant increase last year in cases relating to unlawful discrimination by employers towards members”.
The £10,000 was secured for a 33-year-old teacher from South Yorkshire who was subjected to verbal racial abuse on more than a dozen occasions over the course of 18 months by pupils at her school.
Her employer failed to take appropriate action to address the students’ behaviour, failing to respond in some instances when the teacher reported the abuse and dealing with other incidents inconsistently.
She ultimately left the school due to the poor response from her employer.
The union said it lodged claims for racial discrimination and for constructive dismissal, and the settlement was agreed after the employer was unable to produce significant documentation demonstrating their robust handling of the racism.
The union also highlighted a settlement of £45,000 for a 54-year-old disabled member from the East Midlands who was dismissed after querying the failure to put in place reasonable adjustments to enable him to do his job.
He had multiple disabilities, including a form of arthritis, hypertension, gout and diabetes, which the employer was aware of.
The union said he had requested a trolley to aid his mobility, for disabled parking bays to be kept free for those with disabilities, the removal of classroom equipment that was in his way and for an interactive whiteboard, large wireless keyboard and stool to be provided for his classroom.
The union helped another teacher, aged 57, secure £9,611 from the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority after an assault by a pupil who was known to demonstrate aggressive behaviour left her with a PTSD diagnosis, vertigo and tremors.
Chris Keates, general secretary of the NASUWT, said: “While the NASUWT has been successful in securing record compensation for members, the fact is that behind these figures is a catalogue of appalling treatment teachers have suffered at the hands of their employer.
“In most cases the money awarded does not compensate for the fact that a teacher’s physical or mental health may have been affected and they can no longer work in their chosen profession.”

In June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2018-08, Not-for-Profit Entities (Topic 958): Clarifying the Scope and the Accounting Guidance for Contributions Received and Contributions Made. This ASU clarifies the guidance presented in Topic 958, “Not-for-Profit Entities,” of the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) for evaluating whether a transaction is reciprocal (i.e., an exchange transaction) or nonreciprocal (i.e., a contribution) and for distinguishing between conditional and unconditional contributions. The ASU also clarifies the guidance used by entities other than not-for-profits to identify and account for contributions made. To assist in understanding the clarifications made by ASU 2018-08, we have prepared a white paper, Changes to accounting for grants and contributions made and received. The white paper includes the following:
- An overview of the clarifications made by the ASU
- An overview of its effective dates (some of which are fast approaching) and transition provisions
- The flowchart in ASC 958-605-55-1A, which summarizes the thought process that resource recipients should use in accounting for resources received
- The flowchart in ASC 958-720-55-1A, which summarizes the thought process that resource providers should use in accounting for resources provided (which addresses both not-for-profit and other resource providers)
The white paper also provides a summary of the opportunity and challenge that the implementation of ASU 2018-08 represents.
