The Chilean National Economic Prosecutor’s Office (FNE) filed a lawsuit against Oxxo before the Tribunal de Defensa de la Libre Competencia (TDLC) of this country, due to the fact that the company had provided allegedly false information in relation to the purchase of about 130 SMU stores, Ok Market in February of last year, in addition to having failed to comply with the mitigation measures that forced it to cease exclusivity clauses agreed in contracts with landlords.
In addition, the agency found that Oxxo, which is part of Femsa’s Proximity Division, headed by Carlos Arenas Cadena, did not renounce exclusivity clauses of at least 56 lease contracts.
If found guilty, it is estimated that the company could pay a fine of about 6.4 million dollars.
Oxxo reported that it is analyzing the requirement of the FNE to attend to the process in strict adherence to the law, in collaboration with the corresponding authorities and in the conviction that it has always acted in good faith.
Get up early in the CRE
Everything seems to indicate that Rocío Nahle, in charge of the Energy Secretariat, does not want to wait for the Executive to send a shortlist of candidates to the Senate to replace Leopoldo Melchi, who served as commissioner and president of the Energy Regulatory Commission (CRE). ) until 2022. Nahle’s intention would be for her countrywoman and commissioner since 2020, Guadalupe Escalante Benítez, to assume the interim presidency of the independent body, despite the fact that the powers to appoint a president, in the absence of a holder, are exclusive of the plenary session of commissioners. Thus, the CRE joins the list of organizations that, together with the Bank of Mexico, require new members that have to be approved by the majority of the senators and whose operation must be independent. We will see if the plans of the head of Sener materialize.

Tracey, from Heaton Moor, said: “I was diagnosed with myeloma in 2012, and my young family have been extremely supportive and brave throughout my treatment.
“Barney decided he wanted to do something to help raise some money to help find a cure for myeloma, so he took part in a very wet cold and muddy 5km Gung Ho Challenge at Heaton Park along with friends Louis Comerford and Jack Comerford.
“They really enjoyed it, and they gave out sweets and balloons, and even got a mention on the PA system.
“Barney set up a Just Giving page and set a target of £200 but has smashed that – I am super proud of him.”
Barney’s dad Craig owns Craig’s Barbers in Heaton Moor and he also has a younger brother, six-year-old Harvey.

The way each component is actually understood and the relative emphasis it receives varies nonetheless from one PAR theory and practice to another. This means that PAR is not a monolithic body of ideas and methods but rather a pluralistic orientation to knowledge making and social change. Participatory Action Research in a Venn Diagram. PAR has multiple progenitors and resists definition. All formulations of PAR have in common the idea that research and action must be done ‘with’ people and not ‘on’ or ‘for’ people.
Inquiry based on PAR principles makes sense of the world through collective efforts to transform it, as opposed to simply observing and studying human behaviour and people’s views about reality, in the hope that meaningful change will eventually emerge. PAR draws on a wide range of influences, both among those with professional training and those who draw on their life experience and those of their ancestors.

Based on his research with peasant groups in rural Boyaca and with other underserved groups, Fals Borda called for the ‘community action’ component to be incorporated into the research plans of traditionally trained researchers. Do not monopolise your knowledge nor impose arrogantly your techniques, but respect and combine your skills with the knowledge of the researched or grassroots communities, taking them as full partners and co-researchers. Do not trust elitist versions of history and science which respond to dominant interests, but be receptive to counter-narratives and try to recapture them. Do not depend solely on your culture to interpret facts, but recover local values, traits, beliefs, and arts for action by and with the research organisations.

This is the most devastated area here in the town of Branquinha, located around next to the Mundau River, which broke its banks and flooded all of this area. Take a look at what's left of that building. That room there could have been a bathroom, could have been a kitchen, who knows, is just destroyed and all that's left are piles of mud and sand, some bricks, pieces of furniture. Very little that can be salvaged and that's probably one of the reasons why the mayor here says that she doesn't really want people to rebuild, she would rather have people relocate to an area where this doesn't happen again.
Officials are comparing this catastrophe to a tsunami, and this is why the flood came with such force that it tore off the railroad tracks from their base, leaving only twisted medal attached to wood beams.These Brazilian soldiers have just finished stacking up supplies for the people in this town. They are using this church as a warehouse and they have brought bags of food containing beans, corn, oil, rice, sugar, some other necessities. There are also storing clothes and water for the people in this town.
Not only do people in this small community have to worry about food, water, basic necessities, where they will work or live, but also they worry about the missing, their friends and relatives. They wonder if they will ever see them again.
Rafael Romo, CNN, Branquinha in Brazil.

😞 We don't have a program for this festival yet. Would you like to help us add it?
IndieLisboa focuses on bringing independent cinema closer to the audiences, showing films that do not reach the regular distribution circuit. The festival screens mostly films (features and shorts) in competitions of both young and renowned directors. It is also a platform to premiere and release new films, thus an important ally for Portuguese distributors. IndieLisboa fosters cultural and linguistic diversity by diversifying its geographical scope.
The festival aims to draw the spotlight to worldwide productions and also to the discovery of Portuguese recent films (some even works in progress) through its competitions and industry-oriented activities. It has also focused, for this reason, in successfully expanding its industry core. In 2021 we expect to reach an audience in screenings of around 40.000 people and an overall audience of 50.000 people, once again confirming IndieLisboa as the best attended film event in Portugal.
The activities that go beyond regular screenings - workshops, masterclasses, debates, a scriptwriting lab, a film fund, a pitching forum, screenings of works in progress for industry guests, networking events, etc. - will continue to expand in 2022, consistently supporting our mission of film literacy and promotion of independent cinema. Like in 2020, we expect a growth in industry attendees (programmers, directors, producers, distributors, sales agents, film critics, etc.), actively contributing to the dynamics of the European film exhibition and distribution network.

You have to give the guy credit: Jose Canseco wants to play baseball.
A few months back, Canseco was under contract with the Worcester Tornadoes of the Can-Am League, and then left to join the Rio Grande Valley WhiteWings of the North American League. That deal never came to fruition, but he’s back in Texas and he’s ready to play.
The Valley Morning Star reported that Canseco will be in town this weekend to play in some Texas Winter League games.
The Texas Winter League, which was an affiliation of the now defunct North American Baseball League, looks for players who are interested in improving their skills under the tutelage of experienced managers and coaches.
And according the to the TWL website, they have confirmed that representatives of the Baltimore Orioles, Arizona Diamondbacks and Miami Marlins will be attending.
Canseco, who was quoted in the Morning Star, is looking forward to some batting practice, where he’ll no doubt put on one hell of a show, and will be looking for a deal, whether it’s playing or managing.
“I’m looking forward to playing again,” Canseco said. “I want to play again, see the town, see the city. ... We’ll be taking (batting practice), I’ll be bringing my bat, launching some balls.”
“(A deal’s) out there, it most likely will be offered to me,” Canseco said. “I will definitely consider playing there or other opportunities out there, playing or managing.”
If anyone is near Harlingen Field in Harlingen, Texas, you definitely check this out.

Orthodox Psalter Psalms 3 CD Set
A beautiful 3 audio CD set of The Psalter from our friends at the Hermitage of the Holy Cross (2011). They have recorded the reading of the Psalter in English on three compact discs (214 minutes). The text of the Psalms was translated by Holy TransfigurationMonastery in Brookline, MA, from the 1821 Moscow edition of the Greek Septuagint Psalter, the most trusted and reliable of all extant printings of the the traditional Greek text of Orthodox Church. The Psalms are read in a manner common to Orthodox prayer services: a simple intonation minimizing any possibility of subjective interpretation. The arrangement of the Psalms into tracks on this disc also follows the liturgical practice of the Orthodox Church, where the whole Psalter is divided into twenty Kathismata and each Kathisma into three stases. Each stasis is concluded with a Trinitarian Doxology. The Psalter is read (spoken) by a monk of the Hermitage of the Holy Cross. The packaging is full-color, with the three discs attached to a tri-fold “digi-pak”, all of which slides into a sturdy slipcover. Our hope is that those who purchase this recording will reap years of spiritual benefit from the use of the recording, which is an excellent accompaniment on a daily commute, road trip, or a day at work (from the Hermitage of the Holy Cross).

Ostrov (The Island)
The best representation of Orthodox monastic life ever portrayed on film! The story begins in northern Russia during World War II. A Russian coal barge with a two-man crew is captured by a Nazi patrol boat. The Nazis force the young cowardly Russian furnace stoker, Anatolii, to shoot his captain. The Nazis blow up the barge but Anatolii is rescued by monks from a nearby monastery. Anatolii spends the rest of his life repenting in sorrow, and through this repentance becomes a God-bearing Fool-for-Christ who, with his God-inspired insights into human hearts, gives miraculous help to suffering people who come to him for aid. Nearing death Anatolii’s own suffering is resolved through a miraculous manifestation of forgiveness. Very powerful, and moving story!

Sacred Hymns of the Divine Liturgy - Eikona
Eikona is sisters Presvytera Stacey Dorrance and Presvytera Marika Brown and Chrysanthy Therianos. These three sisters grew up in Denver, Colorado, attending Assumption Greek Orthodox Cathedral. Their love for music was nurtured from an early age by their parents and from childhood into adult life they sang in choirs, studied music and wrote their own pieces.
After each of the three sisters had started their own family, they decided to come together to record some of their favorite hymns and their original compositions as a gift for their parents. This recording became Eikona’s first: O Gladsome Light. For over fifteen years, Eikona has continued to record beloved services of the Orthodox Church, special hymns, and original compositions. The Greek word eikona (pronounced ee-kona) means image. It is the goal of Christians to imitate Christ. While we are created in the image of God, it is the patient and consistent striving throughout life that brings us closer and closer to Christ, to make our lives a witness and true image of God. The group chose the name, Eikona, in order to set before them the goal of growing in the Image of the Living God through their music.
This beautiful CD is a compilation of several well known liturgical hymns of the Orthodox church, sung in several modes. It features the beautiful hymn Agni Parthene.

Saturday Service of Great Vespers - Eikona
Centuries old, Byzantine Chant is the traditional liturgical music of the Greek Orthodox Church.
The chant is monophonic, that is, it consists of a single melodic line with no harmonization, and is accompanied by a vocal drone called isokratima(literally "holding the same").
The music on this recording is primarily influenced by the theory of performance practice developed by Simon Karas in the mid-to-late twentieth century in Athens.
The music was adapted from the Anastasimatarion, and Mousikos Pandektes, both published by Zoe in Athens, and Simon Karas' Methodos, also published in Athens. A portion of the Anoixandaria, (the chanting of the last 10 verses of Psalm 103), was presented to demonstrate their use in special feast days or vigils.
The Akathist Hymn - Eikona
The Akathist Hymn is a Service of the Orthodox Church that invites the faithful to rejoice in the unique and sublime role the Virgin Mary played in the salvation of mankind.

S. military infantryman and veteran of the conflict of Yonkers
“Two hundred million zombies. Who may visualize that kind of quantity, not to mention wrestle it? . . . For the 1st time in historical past, we confronted an enemy that used to be actively waging overall conflict. they'd no limits of patience. they might by no means negotiate, by no means quit. they might struggle until eventually the very finish simply because, not like us, each one among them, each moment of each day, was once dedicated to eating all lifestyles on the earth. ” —General Travis D’Ambrosia, preferrred Allied Commander, Europe
Welcome to Parr's touchdown, inhabitants 1,528 . . . and shrinking.
The yr is 1972. Widowed Christina Parr, her daughter Morgan, and her brother-in-law Jeremy have lower back to the distant northern Ontario mining city of Parr' s touchdown, where from which Christina fled sooner than Morgan used to be born, looking shelter. Dr. Billy Lightning has additionally lower back looking for solutions to the secret of his father' s brutal homicide. All will locate a few a part of what they seek-- and extra.
Built at the web site of a decimated 17th-century Jesuit venture to the Ojibwa, Parr' s touchdown is a city with secrets and techniques of its personal buried within the caves round Bradley Lake. A three-hundred-year-old horror slumbers there, calling out to the insane and the murderous for hundreds of years, begging for release-- a call for participation that has eventually been responded.
One guy is following that voice, slicing a swath of violence around the state, bent on a bad resurrection of the traditional evil, plunging town and all its humans into an unending evening.
Susan Harris lived in self-imposed seclusion, in a mansion that includes quite a few automatic platforms managed by way of a state of the art desktop. each convenience was once supplied. Her safety was once absolute.
But now Susan’s safety approach has been breached—from the interior. within the privateness of her own residence, and opposed to her will, she is going to adventure an not possible act of terror and develop into the item of the last word computer’s eating obsession: to profit every little thing there's learn about the flesh…

After a devastating earthquake that left so much of Japan in ruins, the district ward of Shinjuku in Tokyo has unfolded a doorway into one other measurement - turning into the halfway-house suspended among the mortal international and the supernatural. It has develop into a spot the place the dwelling struggle a wasting conflict with monsters and demons from the netherworld - a continuing fight for keep watch over on grounds which necessarily may perhaps plunge into the depths of Hell.
Factory supervisor through day and moonlighting P. I. by means of evening, Setsura Aki is not any stranger to risk. focusing on missing-persons situations and regarded the simplest "man hunter" within the enterprise, he allies himself with good friend and rival, health professional Mephisto, a wizard of actual and religious surgical procedure. jointly in conflict, there's none which can compete with their mixed wit and tool - in the past. Coming from the private and darkest elements of China, 4 immortal vampires, led by means of one in every of unequalled attractiveness who is going through the ever-present name "Princess," mystically sail into landlocked Shinjuku aboard an historical ghost send. She and her historical undead entourage with powers by no means ahead of visible of vampires, have surmounted 4 thousand years of area and time to grab regulate of Shinjuku and make it their very own.
It is as much as Setsura and Mephisto to discover their new ambitious foes' precise origins and to bare the reality at the back of the Princess's darkish plans for the town.

Momentarily he imagined the air full of electric particles; if he breathed, his lungs would be electrocuted. Then he was up and ran stumbling into the darkened living room and stood by the fireplace, clutching the daubed stream rock with both hands. He turned round and round. Then he put his hands in his pockets and walked quite casually to the corner of the room and pressed his shoulders against the walls, pressed his face hard into the corner. He kept quivering, but he felt that now it was all right to breathe.
His mind was empty. He let his shoulders rise and drop. Helpless. Coke Rymer spoke, his voice at once belligerent and whining. I don't see why you want to put up with him. What do you want with some crazy old drunk anyhow? Hush, she said. Me and Mr. Leland's still got lots of things to do together. Don't we, Mr. Leland? He nodded numbly. Even if you can't fuck no more. He nodded again. She rose easily and came toward him and he sank back in himself, though his body didn't move. Her silvery eyes held the whole range of his knowledge; she placed her hand casually on his penis, withdrew it without haste.
It seemed to me that I would like to struggle to come alive again, to make myself alive somehow, but I didn't know how. Even if I knew how I wouldn't have dared, I didn't have courage, I didn't have the strength to find courage. God spoke through the sky to me, and then I was dead, but I came back to life. I had to be killed first, you see, truly killed. The trouble was, you know, not that I didn't have courage to come to life, but that I didn't have courage to be truly dead. I had to accept that I was dead before anything good could happen like that for me.

Lightweight construction concepts have become an indispensable part of today's production technology. The automobile industry, for example, uses press-hardened and ultra-high strength steels with a tensile strength of up to 2,000 MPa in car body construction to reduce weight. Compared to steels with lower strength, these high-performance steels allow smaller sheet thicknesses leading to lighter components, which in addition exhibit equally good or even improved crash behavior. To process these demanding high-performance materials, laser material processing is the method of choice.
Together with project partners from science and industry, scientists from the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT have advanced the development in separation and joining as well as heat treatment technologies. They will present selected results at the EuroBLECH from October 25 to 29 in Hanover, Germany (Hall 11, joint Fraunhofer Stand B135).
Laser combi-head for cutting and joining as well as additive manufacturing by means of laser metal deposition.
Fraunhofer ILT, Aachen.
Laser Processing of Ultra-high Strength Steels
Sheets made of ultra-high strength steels are commonly used for B-pillars or side door sills of passenger cars, where an extremely high absorption of kinetic energy is a key issue in the event of an impact. However, the high strength of these materials makes it necessary to adjust the processing methods, such as cutting and joining. Conventional mechanical cutting and joining processes, such as stamping, clinching or riveting, cannot be used at a reasonable expense.
As an alternative, the tool “light” has proven its value as a processing method in industrial applications. Laser cutting has already proven itself many times as a separation process, while joining is essentially achieved by spot welding. Both methods, however, lead to metallurgical effects that can adversely affect the component properties. During cutting, hardening occurs in the edge zone of the cut edge; in the case of spot welding, a heat-affected zone forms with a distinct hardening reduction around the welding spot.
These two effects lead, in the worst case, to the failure of the joint and thus, in the case of damage, to a reduced absorption of the kinetic energy in the component. By means of local laser heat treatment in the cutting edge region and in the joining zones, this weakening can be counteracted. The hardness and ductility of the material can thus be adjusted locally to tensile elongations of 10 to 15 %.
Joining ultra-high strength materials requires a low energy per unit length. This can be achieved with laser welding at 20 to 80 kJ/m. For thin plates of chromium steels with martensitic microstructure and tempering steels, suitable fusion welding parameters have been developed at Fraunhofer ILT. TWIP steels containing high content of manganese have also been successfully joined by laser welding in joints with the same as well as with dissimilar materials. A loss of the strength was countered here by a suitable load control.
Laser Combi-heads for the Processing of Car Body Components
Last but not least, it makes sense to combine individual process steps in one tool for economic reasons. This is the starting point of the collaborative project KLASSE, sponsored by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF); the project is being carried out by the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT along with partners from the automotive industry and laser plant construction. The work in "KLASSE" has resulted in a combined processing head with a hybrid laser beam source consisting of a diode laser for heat treatment and a fiber laser for cutting.
For several years now, a laser processing head developed by Fraunhofer ILT and marketed by Laserfact GmbH has been successfully used in the industry, combining different work steps. The head incorporates the two process steps "cutting" and "welding" into one machine without a need for retooling. In the spring of 2016, a powder nozzle was integrated into the combi-head, enabling it to carry out additive manufacturing steps by means of laser metal deposition.
Thanks to this integration, set-up times can be minimized and highly flexible production made even more efficient. In addition, the combi-head can also be used to cut composite materials, e.g. carbon-fiber reinforced components, which are becoming increasingly popular in car body manufacturing due to their low weight and excellent mechanical properties.
Local Softening of Cold-rolled Steels
After cold-rolling, cold-strengthened steels are generally subjected to overall recrystallization annealing. In the cold-strengthened state, the thickness of the steel sheets can be reduced, but the material can only be deformed to a lesser degree, and its ability to absorb energy – in the event of a crash – is reduced significantly. A local heat treatment can improve the crash properties of the components (e.g. controlled folding of a crash box) by introducing soft zones into it. In sheet-metal plates made of low-alloy steels, a combination of cold rolling and local laser heat treatment prevents cracks from occurring in the subsequent forming process at particularly stressed areas, typically at the edges of shaped components.
The project "Local Laser Heat Treatment of Cold Strengthened Steels for Improvement of Forming and Functional Characteristics" (LAKS) is being funded by the German Federation of Industrial Research Associations (AiF) and carried out at Fraunhofer ILT and the Metal Forming Institute (IBF) at RWTH Aachen University. Based on parameter studies, the institutes are first determining correlations between the temperature-time profiles and the resulting properties and mechanical properties. Subsequently, deformation tests and crash tests shall be carried out. The latter will be validated in forming tests under quasi-static as well as under sudden loads. In future development steps, the institutes shall investigate corrosion properties, simulate the deformation in production and operation as well as arrange the process into the production process optimally.

I know there are plenty of checkpoint plugins out there, but to the best of my knowledge, none of them are capable of saving an unlimited* amount of checkpoints, store all checkpoints persistently or offer an API for bhop / surf timers, which is why I decided to create my own:
"Checkpoints is a SourceMod plugin that allows players to save their location, view angles and velocity as a checkpoint. In addition to providing several commands to access and manipulate these checkpoints, it offers automatic database storage and a SourceMod plugin API which can be used to integrate it with other plugins such as bunnyhop / surf timers, or to override its default behaviour."
Commands include (but are not limited to):
!save, !tele, !next, !prev and !cp

A new study released by the journal 'Circulation' finds skipping breakfast could increase your risk of a heart attack.
FOX News Radio's Lisa Brady reports:
The study started in 1992 with a survey of nearly 27,000 men. For the next 16 years, Harvard researchers tracked how many suffered heart attacks. And, taking other factors into account, they found those who regularly skipped breakfast had a 27% higher risk of heart attack than those who had breakfast.
One theory is that skipping breakfast leads to larger meals later in the day, possibly spiking sugar levels and ultimately clogging arteries.
But this was an observational study, only involving men at least 45 years old and it stopped short of asking what the breakfast eaters ate.

Madonna shared a slideshow of photos on her Instagram at this time.
The dramatic photos had been accompanied by a caption that learn, “All dressed up and Nowhere to go…………….👠 …….. However Quickly, Very Quickly, I’ll be touring to you. #celebrationtour.” Madonna’s highly-anticipated tour is about to start on October 14 at The O2 Area in London.
Within the images, the “Hung Up” songstress was clad in a mess of black-centric ensembles together with a myriad of corseted tops and a mesh bedazzled “Materials Lady” high. Moreover, Madonna sported a black trench coat made to appear to be a pinstriped swimsuit. Most of the corseted ensembles she wore had been accompanied by mesh of some type and her signature black leather-based fingerless gloves.
On her toes, the performer sported a pair of black platform boots from Marc Jacobs. The pair had been crafted out of black leather-based and featured buckle closures that crossed over her calves together with thick platform soles, facet zip closures and 8-inch block heels that gave the star a towering look.
Madonna is famend for her edgy and groundbreaking private type, each in her personal proper and as a muse for designers together with Ford, Jean Paul Gaultier and Jeremy Scott. Her footwear follows an equally modern and edgy route, usually consisting of pointed-toe and platform pumps and boots on the crimson carpet.
Off-duty, Madonna will be seen in a spread of sneakers and boots from manufacturers together with Nike and Puma. A frequent Met Gala attendee, she is thought for making daring style statements and has additionally launched her personal style initiatives over time. These have included an M by Madonna H&M assortment (2007), the MDG sun shades line with Dolce & Gabbana (2010), teen style line Materials Lady (2010), and a style line, Reality or Dare (2011) — with footwear created in partnership with Aldo.

The Keto Box
**This post contains affiliate links. Buy making a purchase from one of these links I will get a small commission at no extra cost to you**
Let me start off by saying I am thrilled with this box! This is my first ever Keto monthly box and I am very pleased with it!
This box is $40 shipped.
The box came completely packed and it was heavy. It also had a huge variety of items from drinks, snacks, meals and ingredients.
Steviva Blend – $9
0g Net Carbs
I was actually really happy to see this in the box because I knew it would be something I would use. While I have other sugars that I currently use I love trying out new products. I could imagine not everyone would like a product like this in their Keto box but for me I personally love the variety of products and love that it included a staple I knew I would use.
The Nutrition shows that it has 0 Net Carbs per serving, the current sugar that I use has a small amount of net carbs per serving.
Besides baking this can also be used to sweeten drinks.
Foods Alive – Italian Zest Flax Crackers – $8
2g Net Carbs
(5 Crackers, 4 Servings per Package)
So this is one of the snack products I was really looking forward to! I tend to run low on a variety of snacks to satisfy my hunger so I was really excited to see this in the box!
I tried these shortly after opening the box and the flavor is actually really good. This would be great paired with something Italian such as my version of ‘Spaghetti’, whether that be low carb pasta or zoodles.
I have seen some recipes to make something similar to this but it requires a lot of ingredients I don’t typically keep in my kitchen, I may try it to compare though. The price seems a bit high as I find I tend to go over my budget when I buy a ton of snacks such as these so I tend to avoid them now.
Cauli Rice – $1
2g Net Carbs Per Package
I was really excited for this product. I love Cauliflower rice but I find I like it best made from scratch, that being said I still keep the freezer packs and chopped packs readily available in my kitchen for easy cooking. These packs are only $1 so I had high hopes for them, as compared to $2.99 for the freezer packs and chopped packs I keep.
The have 4 flavors available on their website, however, all but the original are filled with sugar.
You open the packet and stick it in the microwave for 2 1/2 minutes to 3 minutes, the idea reminds me of minute rice.
Perhaps I should have tried one of their recipes but I could not eat this product. I made it plain and the smell was TERRIBLE, the taste wasn’t much better. I then cooked the ‘rice’ on the stove with sauce like I normally would with any other Cauliflower rice and the bitter taste just never went away.
Skout Organic Roasted Pumpkin Seeds – $4
1g Net Carb
2 Serving per Package.
So while I am excited for another snack in this box the price seems a bit steep. The package is only filled up to about the top of the ‘Organic’ title, the bag is resealable which is a plus, the seeds also come in a total of 3 flavors which are all low carb.
Flavors include Pink Himalayan Salt, Spicy Texas Chili, and Paraguayan Cane Sugar. Both other flavors only have 2g Net Carbs per serving and may be worth the price if you are looking to change things up from your ordinary pumpkin seeds.
They are available only in packs of 6 and are cheaper on Amazon than compared to their normal site at about $23 per case.
Role Iced Tea Blends – Yurmeric + Ginger – $3
This is another example of the great variety that The Keto Box has to offer! I love that it offered a new drink to try!
While some of the ingredients do intimidate me such as the ginger I am really interested in others such as the apple juice! So long as I like it I can see myself buying a few here and there to keep around as a treat!
The drinks are $3 each so I can’t see myself drinking them often. They also come in three different flavors, however, this is the only one that is Keto or Low Carb friendly as the others have 20g+ sugar.
Buff Bake Rocky Road Protein Peanut Spread – $10
7g of Net Carbs
11g of Protein
2 TBSP per Serving
I’m a bit surprised this was included in the box. I was excited when I saw it but it’s hard to incorporate into a Keto diet.
Made with Whey Protein, Unsweetened Chocolate, Unsweetened Chocolate Chips, Walnuts, it seems like a great balance, HOWEVER, it also has Marshmallows made with CANE SUGAR. The Marshmallows are whole and could be removed while eating but I am not quite sure why they were included in the spread. They are hard and prevent the spread from being ‘spreadable’. I like the concept of the spread but it’s hard to incorporate into the diet as is unless you use it as a treat on occasion and really watch the amount you use or remove the marshmallows.
The spread does taste good. It reminds me of cookie dough but it seems a bit thick.
Simply Delish Peach Jel Dessert – $3
0g Net Carbs
I always see the debate as to whether or not sugar free Jello is Keto or not. If you are concerned about it or looking for an alternative here is your solution.
These are $3 each which is much more than Jello but that is no surprise. This ‘Jello’ takes 1 hour to cool as compared to 2-4 hours for regular Jello.
Know Double Chocolate Cookie – $2.50
4g Net Carbs
These come in packs of 4 for $10. They are available on Amazon which is a huge plus! I have bought KNOW products before and have enjoyed them. I have seen the advertisement for the cookie a lot and am really excited it came in this box so I could try it!
The cookie is quite large and extremely filling. The double chocolate chip was really good but a bit dry so I added some whip cream to it! I love the amount of protein that comes in the cookie as well.
It didn’t have the bitterness that some sugar free products have either.
This one is definitely a go!
2GO Coconut Oil – $1.50
0g Net Carbs
This is a great solution for anyone that drinks BPC on the go! I personally have yet to try it but I do plan to with one of these packets!
Each packet also contains MCT Oil to give you a burst of energy!
It’s a great idea to keep at your work or in your purse for those that may buy coffee from places like Quicktrip, Seven Eleven, or Fast Food Places.
Total Retail Value $41
I am pretty pleased with the box! I was nervous about purchasing it but I more confident in purchasing it again now. The only item I have yet to like is the Cauli Rice which only makes up a $1 of the Total Retail Value.

text: I used to catch the train with my neighbour and she would always misplace her card. So when I came across this mini scrap wallet, I thought of her. I added a wristlet as well, and once I was finished I realised that she is allergic to cats and probably wouldn’t want to have something like this hanging off her wrist! Which leads me to my next post… Although I’ll probably just make her another one with some other fabric! I also should have put the wrist strap up way higher.

Nanaimo council to webcast finance meetings
Less formal and more frank discussions by city councillors and staff will soon be available to Nanaimo residents through webcasts.
While regular open council meetings are already televised and then uploaded to the city's website generally every second Monday, finance and policy meetings, held on alternate Mondays, were not.
Finance/Policy Committee of the Whole meetings were historically held in the tight quarters of the city hall boardroom. After recent pressure from city watchdogs and a special interest group interested in wheelchair accessibility, meetings were moved to the Shaw Auditorium.
Coun. George Anderson said that created an opportunity to broadcast finance meetings to the public because the recording infrastructure was already there.
Council approved Anderson's motion Monday night.
"I thought it was important that since we had the ability to have our meetings recorded that we do that," said Anderson. "People need to know what council is doing and what members of council are saying in regards to certain issues. There are rather big policy decisions being made, such as conflict of interest policy and the discussion surrounding a communications manager. People should know how council is spending its money."
Bylaws and bylaw amendments are not voted on in finance meetings, but members of the public are invited to attend and make presentations as they are at open council meetings.
Anderson added that beginning the meetings at 4:30 p.m. makes it difficult for many citizens to attend, and archived webcasts could provide an opportunity for people to watch the issues being discussed at their own leisure.
The city's IT department estimates about 20 people tune in to the live webcast of open council meetings, followed by anywhere from 100 to 150 hits on the video upload on the city's website in the week after the meeting. It is not known how many people watch the live televised open council meeting on Shaw TV.
It will cost taxpayers $2,500 up front, plus an additional $250 per meeting to use Shaw Television resources and staff to record and upload finance meetings, as well as several hours of city IT staff time. The city must also pay more than $800 per meeting to rent the Shaw Auditorium.
Nanaimo Mayor John Ruttan said he isn't convinced there is a public demand to record and upload finance meetings.
"If I knew Nanaimo citizens were so anxious to hear those discussions as well, then maybe the money would be well spent," said Ruttan. "But by my count there were six people in the audience at the last FPCOW meeting, and it was all the usual people. I'm just not sure it's money well spent."
Recording FPCOW meetings could be short-lived. Council already voted to move the meetings to the new city annex when it is completed later this year or early 2013. That facility will have wheelchair accessibility, but is not wired to record meetings.
Ruttan estimates that if council wishes to record and upload finance meetings at the annex, it would cost about $250,000 in upgrades.

NEW YORK (Web Desk) – After its release, it went online, and less than 18 hours later, it was well on its way to 20 million views.
The trailer, just two minutes and 35 seconds long, has fans captivated and teeming with speculation. It looks as if Rey (the character that seems to be mimicking Leia in deed and appearance) will be the movie’s main heroine, but there has also been speculation that one of the main characters will die in the end.
The trailer shows that the seventh installment of the Star Wars saga likely won’t be much different as far as plot structure as the other films. The Force will be strong, characters will fight a greater evil, and droids will serve as comic relief.

We will be running a Stackhouse Poland Charity Foundation Day on 9 November, with fundraising events taking place across our network of offices. We will be supporting an insurance sector initiative, Insurance United Against Dementia.
Insurance United Against Dementia is an Alzheimer’s Society movement supported by organisations from across the insurance industry, and has already raised in excess of £100,000 this year to fund vital research. The movement hopes to raise £10 million in total, and is committed to transforming the lives of people affected by dementia.
Employees from our 19 offices are hosting a variety of events in support of the charity, and we are delighted to be part of this initiative. The Stackhouse Poland Group has a proud history of encouraging its employees to support both national and local charities, and every office has a charity representative.

“Fill the Plate” Telethon to Help Feed Older Adults
The Heritage Area Agency on Aging is hoping the public dials in to help feed at-risk older adults in eastern Iowa. Heritage is excited to announce the return of the Fill the Plate telethon to bring greater support and awareness for its Senior Nutrition Home Delivered and Congregate Meal program. Last year’s telethon raised over $105,000 to help provide nutritious meals to older adults throughout eastern Iowa.
The Heritage Agency’s Elder Abuse Prevention and Awareness Program’s Elder Rights Specialists can help individuals age 60 and older who are victims of abuse, neglect, and exploitation by presenting options to improve their quality of life, while reducing risk and/or eliminating the abusive situation.
It's officially National Family Caregivers Month and we want you to help spread the word about the 2014 theme, "Care Comes Home." This theme focuses on the care provided by unpaid friends and family within the home and community.
The Office of the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman is seeking volunteers for its new Volunteer Ombudsman Program (VOP). The VOP wishes to place 1-2 volunteers in every nursing facility, residential care facility, and elder group home in Iowa.
The Older Iowans Legislature met in legislative session in the House Chamber of the Iowa Capitol on Monday September 29 and Tuesday September 30. The annual meeting of the Older Iowans Legislature was convened on Tuesday September 30 after the adjournment of the legislative session.
Seventeen (17) bills were debated by the Older Iowans Legislature, first in committees on Monday September 29 and then on the House floor on Tuesday September 30. Bills that were enacted on the House floor on Tuesday were prioritized by each of the Representatives.


New multiple-warhead missiles to break arms treaty limit
Russia is doubling the number of its strategic nuclear warheads on new missiles by deploying multiple reentry vehicles that have put Moscow over the limit set by the New START arms treaty, according to Pentagon officials.
A recent intelligence assessment of the Russian strategic warhead buildup shows that the increase is the result of the addition of multiple, independently targetable reentry vehicles, or MIRVs, on recently deployed road-mobile SS-27 and submarine-launched SS-N-32 missiles, said officials familiar with reports of the buildup.
“The Russians are doubling their warhead output,” said one official. “They will be exceeding the New START [arms treaty] levels because of MIRVing these new systems.”
The 2010 treaty requires the United States and Russia to reduce deployed warheads to 1,550 warheads by February 2018.
The United States has cut its warhead stockpiles significantly in recent years. Moscow, however, has increased its numbers of deployed warheads and new weapons.
The State Department revealed in January that Russia currently has exceeded the New START warhead limit by 98 warheads, deploying a total number of 1,648 warheads. The U.S. level currently is below the treaty level at 1,538 warheads.
Officials said that in addition to adding warheads to the new missiles, Russian officials have sought to prevent U.S. weapons inspectors from checking warheads as part of the 2010 treaty.
Disclosure of the doubling of Moscow’s warhead force comes as world leaders gather in Washington this week to discus nuclear security—but without Russian President Vladimir Putin, who skipped the conclave in an apparent snub of the United States.
The Nuclear Security Summit is the latest meeting of world leaders seeking to pursue President Obama’s 2009 declaration of a world without nuclear arms.
Russia, however, is embarked on a major strategic nuclear forces build-up under Putin. Moscow is building new road-mobile, rail-mobile, and silo-based intercontinental-range missiles, along with new submarines equipped with modernized missiles. A new long-range bomber is also being built.
“Russia’s modernization program and their nuclear deterrent force is of concern,” Adm. Cecil Haney, commander of the U.S. Strategic Command, which is in charge of nuclear forces, told Congress March 10.
“When you look at what they’ve been modernizing, it didn’t just start,” Haney said. “They’ve been doing this quite frankly for some time with a lot of crescendo of activity over the last decade and a half.”
By contrast, the Pentagon is scrambling to find funds to pay for modernizing aging U.S. nuclear forces after seven years of sharp defense spending cuts under Obama.

Nowadays, there are many means of transport to travel around
the world such as train, ship,car, airplane. Almost all people
First of all, I like to emphosize the fact that I love travelling
In my opinion, it is the fastest and the most comfortable.
When you want to travel long distances, the plane is the ideal
means of transport. Moreover, you have the chance to admire
the world from above and feel like flying yourself. You can
capture a spectacular sunrise or sunset or the fluffy clouds.
There are some advantages and disadvantages, too.
The biggest advantage of flying is that it is often the fastest way
to get from one place to another, especially when long distances
are involved. It helps us save a lot of time, so we can do more
things. Secondly, I think the comfort of air travel makes people
satisfied. When we traveling by air, can sit comfortably in an arm-
chair, reading magazines, listen to music, read books, play games
or watching a free film on television.
The process of making arrangements to fly can be quite
convenient. A plane ticket can be purchased by telephone or
on the Internet. We don’s have to cope with crowed at air
port as other stations for buying tickets.
The flight attendants are always friendly, we can "call"
them when we need. Moreover, some meals have taste well
on the plane.
Apart from these advantages, however, traveling by air has
its disadvantages, too. First of all, flying is often the most
expensive form of transportation, especially if reservations
are not made well in advance. It amounts to hundreds of
dollars or even millions.
Some people might not be able to afford to fly on the budget
airline. Then air travels have the reputation of being
dangerous and even hardened travelers are intimidated by
There are plane crashes in which the crew and passengers
Finally, traveling by air, we can’t stop wherever we want to
enjoy beautiful landscapes on our way as we do in a trip by
car or boat. Sceneries seen from plane are merely vague
sights. The sights below become very small, cities are small,
mountains are small too, everything is small.
In conclusion, there are both pros and cons of traveling by
air. People should choose the suitable means and that means
suits their standard.

Listed as one of the best wet food brands on the market, Nature’s Recipe Grain-Free cat food features real chicken as the first ingredient used to provide the high amount of protein amount.
This protein-rich formula is free from artificial additives such as preservatives, flavors, and colors. Above all, a great feature of this product is that it contains omega 6 and omega 3 fatty acids to reduce shedding of the coat of your cat.
This cat food is a perfect choice for cats that suffer from chicken and meat based allergies for the reason that tuna is the first ingredient in this grain-free cat food.
The tuna fish is a great source of protein and provides a high concentration of protein. Besides that, it also contains chickpeas and sweet potatoes to boost your cat’s energy levels and to provide dietary fibers for gentle digestion.
This formula contains 36 percent crude protein, 12 percent crude fat and 5 percent crude fiber that ensures your feline always stays healthy and cheerful.

Some kittens may be sensitive to sea food ingredients
We really like Tiki Cat foods. Their canned foods are high in protein and extremely low in carbohydrates.
They are complete and balanced for all life stages. And they are hand-packed. For example, Hana Grill Ahi Tuna with Crab In Tuna Consommé has 16 percent protein, three percent fat, and two percent carbohydrates.
The first three ingredients are tuna, tuna broth, and crab. This food has 75 kcal per 2.8 ounce can. It’s typical of Tiki Cat foods.
They have lots of other fish-based canned foods as well as a line of similar chicken-based foods.
They also have some good variety packs. Their After Dark line includes organ meats. We think Tiki Cat’s higher protein and low carb canned foods would be a good choice for diabetic cats.
This cat product is well known to follow a holistic approach to pet nutrition. The formula of Halo is proven for superior digestibility which is works well for senior cats.
Besides that, it includes vitamin E and important fatty acids to promote the healthy and shiny coat of your feline. Additionally, this healthy recipe has reduced fat and calories, which is highly recommended for senior cats to maintain ideal weight.

This cat food from Hill’s comes with an extremely affordable price tag yet it contains all the essential nutrients that your feline needs. Hills’ prepares a delicious and balanced blend of natural ingredients. Chicken, which is the first ingredient in this grain-free recipe helps your cats build strong and lean muscles.
Additionally, the formula is also enriched with vitamins and minerals that enhance your cat’s defense system.
What to Look for When Choosing a Grain Free Cat Food For Your Cat
Most cat lovers know that cats are considered obligate carnivores. This means that they have to have meat in their diet.
Cats also have to have taurine which comes from muscle meat, among other sources. Taurine can also come from shellfish and fish. Cold water fish is an especially good source of taurine.
Cats also need a special form of Vitamin A. They lack the enzyme to convert regular Vitamin A into a form they can use so they must have the active form of Vitamin A that comes from animal sources.
Here’s a look at the things cats need in their diet:
Plenty of meat protein;
The active form of Vitamin A – retinol;
Arachidonic acid, an essential fatty acid;
Arginine, an amino acid;
Linoleic acid, a fatty acid;
Niacin, a B vitamin;
Taurine, an amino acid;
We also suggest that you try to avoid artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives.
The minimum percentages a healthy adult cat needs in her diet are 26 percent protein and 9 percent fat. Many people prefer to feed a higher percentage of protein.
Most sources recommend that 50 percent of your cat’s calories come from animal-based protein.
About 40 percent of the calories should come from fat.
1-2 percent of calories should come from carbohydrates.
The food should also contain plenty of moisture.
What Sre Common Grains Used in the Pet Industry?
For those that may be a little more unfamiliar with what grains actually are, here’s some clarity.
Grains can be explained to be seeds from specific grasses that humans have begun to consume ever since they got civilized.
Not to mention that these grains usually contain a large number of carbohydrates, which is a good source of energy.
However, depending on how much is consumed, it can be good or bad for a specific animal.
The reason for this is that products with too many carbohydrates contain little to no protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
To give you a better idea about grains, below-listed are some common examples that we may have seen or heard of. You may also discover them in your cat food:
The Pros & Cons of Grain-Free Food
There has been a lot of argument over the years on whether or not grain-free food or food that contains grains are worth eating.
On one side some people state that it is not natural to be eating grain-packed products, while others note that grain-free is no better for the pet.
Some of the noted positives of feeding your pet with grain-free food include:
Increase in activity levels – Since some grain-free foods include high-protein, some cat owners found their pets to turn more active.
Improvement in pet’s health – Some owners have stated that they’ve noticed their pet getting stronger and healthier with the absence of unnecessary grains.
Easier to digest – Corn and other grains are said to be a wee bit difficult for cats or dogs to digest, so any product that is grain-free will be easier to digest.
Processed grains are not healthy – This argument is why many tend to stick to grain-free food, rather than running the risk of feeding them with something that is not even considered healthy.
First of all, there is no perfect cat food. As shown below is a list of some of the noted negatives of feeding your pet grain-free food.
Can cause weight gain – It may be a lot easier for your cat to gain weight through eating grain-free food since it is packed with other high-protein ingredients. Unless you feed this to active pets, this could be even more of an issue.
Contains too many carbohydrates – A lot of the non-meat products listed on the package tend to contain more carbohydrates, which is non-nutritious.
Expensive – Grain-free food tends to be more expensive than the typical grain-packed pet foods.
Food Allergy Symptoms
The thing about unnecessary grains in your beloved kitty’s food ultimately causing allergic reactions is not only scary but unwanted.
To analyze this further and to figure out whether your pet is suffering from such reactions, there are plenty of things that you can do.
To begin with, you can go about examining whether or not your cat is suffering from an allergic reaction. You can do that by looking out for the food allergy symptoms as shown below.
Itchiness – You will find your cat itching away more, and if this isn’t due to some flea infestation or any other cause, you might consider allergies to be the culprit.
Hair loss – Often, cats that are not responding well to certain foods experience sudden and excessive hair loss.
Bald patches – This is due to the point above, but with excessive hair loss comes an array of other problems such as random bald patches.
Sores and scabs – An interesting symptom to look out for are the sores and scabs that are found all over the body. This may be due to the incessant itching.
Some diets claiming to be grain-free as a matter of fact had some grain inside it.
The average grain-free diet had lower amounts of carbohydrates than grain-containing diets. However, there were also grain-free diets with similar or higher amounts of carbohydrates than those with grains.
Poultry, egg, and fish continued to be the most commonly sourced animal sources of protein.
In grain-free diets, exotic meats such as bison or rabbit were found.
Also, the calories were almost similar in both the diets.

I’ve now received upmteen notices, through various family, friends, and psychiatric publications, that the DSM 5 has made an about-face.
It’s not the first, by a long shot. Remember the narcissists? Out one day–back in the next? That was a good switcher-oo.
And now, it seems, the Committee has dropped two diagnoses considered somewhat controversial.
One of them out on its ear is “attenuated psychosis syndrome,” used to describe children with at high-risk of developing schizophrenia.
Apparently this one was a bit problematic since research has indicated that only about 8% of those determined to be high-risk actually go on to develop the schizophrenia–seriously undercutting the validity of the disorder. It’s kind of an ‘oops’ moment.
Wrote the Committee:
The APA is no longer considering “Attenuated Psychosis Syndrome” as a new official disorder in the DSM-5. The proposed diagnosis was supposed to help identify children at risk for developing a psychotic disorder, but research has shown that 2/3 of children who qualify as “at risk” never progress to true psychosis.
If you remember Allen Frances from previous posts, the editor of the DSM-IV, and the full-time critic of the current DSM process, he was like a cat who’d swallowed the canary when he heard about the reversal:
The world is a safer place now that ‘Psychosis Risk’ will not be in DSM-5. Its rejection saves our kids from the risk of unnecessary exposure to antipsychotic drugs (with their side effects of obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular problems, and shortened life expectancy). ‘Psychosis Risk’ was the single worst DSM-5 proposal — we should all be grateful that DSM-5 has finally come to its senses in dropping it.
The second concern was with ‘mixed anxiety depressive disorder,’ which had lower criteria for both the depression and the anxiety components to meet the diagnosis, and thus would have led to over diagnosis of people who were managing without a psychiatric label.
Second update from the APA DSM-5 committee:
The APA is no longer considering “Mixed Anxiety Depressive Disorder” as a new official disorder in the DSM-5. Many psychiatrists worried that the new diagnosis was too vague and that too many people would qualify.
Under the diagnosis itself, they write,
the condition is being recommended for further study in Section III, which is the section of the DSM-5 text in which conditions that require further research will be included.
Bingo. Seems we have enough of run on our mental health system without creating diagnoses so vague that we’ve all got them.
The DSM 5 Committee actually published a “DSM-5 Draft Criteria Open for Final Public Comment,” open through June 15th, noting some changes, and providing opportunity for comment. Peruse it, and avail yourself of the opportunity.
David Kupfer, chairman of the current task force, claimed the changes made just demonstrated how the Committee was open to outside input. He said,
We have not made decisions ahead of time. I am spending 24-7 with 160 colleagues trying to do the best we can to listen to everybody.
Frances has some alternative views. He suggested the turnabouts might be:
attributed to the combination of: 1) extensive criticism from experts in the field; 2) public outrage; 3) uniformly negative press coverage; and, 4) the abysmal results in DSM 5 field testing,
and then goes on to catalog a list of problems that the Committee should attend to post-haste, now that their eyes have been opened.
We’ll wait to see who has the last word. . .
