Immunology is the teaching of human and animal defense against the microflora of the biosphere, i.e. the teaching of the immune system, its structure and function. The immune system is part of a number of processes that determine the protection of the organism against infections, such as viruses, bacteria and fungi, as well as some cancers.
It is involved in all forms of inflammation, including the many forms that are not triggered by microorganisms, but, for example, of physical trauma.Read more

While he’s only been with the Boston Celtics since summer, Phil Coles — Boston’s Executive Director of Performance likes what he sees from the development of Celtics All-Star forward Jayson Tatum’s growth this season.
Then again, it’s kind of hard to miss just how much the third-year swingman has grown since his sophomore campaign, nearly doubling his 2018-19 scoring rate of 15.7 points per game in February of 2020 with 30.7 points per game for that month.
“It’s always great to see young players continue to improve,” offered Coles via Omnisport.
“Like all great players, they have that mix of talent, drive and work ethic,” he added. “He is a good example of that but there’s lots of examples. It’s a young squad in general and there’s lots of good young players who work really hard and are all progressing.”
Coles, who came to Boston after a stint with the San Antonio Spurs helping that team boost what they can get out of their athletes, is originally from Australia, and began his career working with soccer and rugby teams before making the jump to basketball.
“I’m new here, so I can’t say I’ve followed [Tatum’s] progression as closely as some of the other staff,” added the performance specialist. “But everyone in the club and in the city who supports the club are excited to see the development is there and see him really blossom into a superstar.”
With news that the league is ramping up towards restarting the coronavirus-interrupted season in a single site location — likely Disney in Orlando, Florida — we may get back to that blossoming soon enough.
And that means Coles’ job is kicking into high gear to help the players prepare for a return to action after a long hiatus.
“It will vary from individual to individual,” noted the Australian, “From our perspective, we will do the best we can with the timeframe we’re given.”
“[Our approach] would be very individual. Some players would be in great shape and ready to go and others will need some more time to build up. And depending on what their role is in the team and the structure for if and when we come back, it will be different.”
With a mid- to late-June return to camp and a mid-July return to play looking like the most likely timetable, Coles and company will have their hands full getting Boston ready for high-level play.
But with every team in the NBA facing varying degrees of the same problem, it will be a shared challenge around the league to properly prepare teams not only to improve their play, but also to prevent injury.
“Everyone is in the same boat,” explains Coles, “so I don’t know that there needs to be an ideal timeframe, it just needs to be something that everyone is agreed upon.”

It was [Herbert] Marcuse who answered the question as to who will make the revolution: in place of the workers there would be a new cultural underclass of revolutionaries drawn from youth, women, ethnics, and homosexuals; whatever elements could be disaffected and alienated from Western civilisation; that is, what became the New Left and what has metamorphosed into other movements to the present. The Encyclopedia of World Biography states:
His application of the theories of Sigmund Freud to the character of contemporary society and politics was the subject of much research, scholarly and otherwise. He was considered by some to be a philosopher of the sexual revolution.
In 1934 Marcuse emigrated to the US and joined the Institute of Social Research in New York. The Encyclopedia states further:
During World War II Marcuse served in the OSS (Office of Strategic Services, which later became the Central Intelligence Agency). He worked for the U.S. Department of State until 1950. For several years thereafter he was a member of the Russian Institutes of Columbia University and Harvard University. From 1954 to 1965 he was a professor at Brandeis University.
Marcuse’s biographer Douglas Kellner writes that after the dissolution of the OSS Marcuse: ‘. . . In September 1945, . . . moved over to the State Department . . . becoming head of the Central European bureau, and remaining until 1951 when he left government service.’
The CIA, the successor to the OSS, plays a major role in the contrived ‘revolution from above.’ Frances Stonor Saunders states of the OSS that its initial recruits came from ‘America’s most powerful institutions and families.’ Apart from the Mellon family, which will be considered later, the families of J. P. Morgan, Vanderlip, DuPont, Whitney, and others were represented in it.
Professor Martin Duberman, a leading Left-wing academic theorist and activist for the ‘gay’ movement, states: ‘The philosopher Herbert Marcuse predicted that the new ‘sexual liberation movements’ would become a powerful force, the agency for producing significant social transformation.’
During the 1960s, Marcuse achieved world renown as ‘the guru of the New Left’ . . . his work was often discussed in the mass media. A charismatic teacher, Marcuse’s students began to gain influential academic positions and to promote his ideas, making him a major force in US intellectual life. After working for the US government for almost ten years Marcuse returned to university life. He received a Rockefeller Foundation grant to study Soviet Marxism, lecturing on the topic at Columbia University during 1952-53, and Harvard from 1954-55.
In 1964 Marcuse published One-Dimensional Man. Kellner continues:
In contrast to orthodox Marxism, Marcuse championed nonintegrated forces like minorities, outsiders and radical intelligentsia, attempting to nourish oppositional thought through promoting radical thinking and opposition . . .
Marcuse’s Eros and Civilization funded by the Rockefeller Foundation, became a manifesto of the 1960s counterculture and the New Left. Marcuse also received Rockefeller funding for One-Dimensional Man, stating in the Acknowledgments: ‘The American Council of Learned Societies, the Louis M. Rabinowitz Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the Social Sciences Research Council have extended to me grants which greatly facilitated the completion of these studies.’
Marcuse became a cult figure among the youth of the 1960s and in 1968 when students rioted in Paris their banners proclaimed ‘Marx, Mao and Marcuse.’ Marcuse advocated the Gramscian strategy of ‘working against the established institutions while working in them.’
Among Marcuse’s students were Abbie Hoffman, the radical anarchist New Left leader, and Angela Davis, the Black Communist Party militant. Davis now works as professor in the History of Consciousness program at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Davis stood twice for the US Vice Presidency as a Communist Party candidate, and was active with the paramilitary Black Panthers. Abbie Hoffman, who died in 1989 at the age of 53, was the flamboyant nihilist youth leader of student revolt during the 1960s, co-founding the Yippies (Youth International Party) in 1967, and one of the ‘Chicago Seven’ arrested for organising a violent demonstration at the Democratic Party National Convention in 1968. Marcuse helped spawn many academics who continue to teach at universities throughout the world, in particular the US and Germany.
It is evident that much of what became modern feminism and today’s political correctness had its origins in the Frankfurt School. Erich Fromm was one of the first to state the feminist dictum that differences between the sexes were not hereditary but the result of cultural conditioning. As the conservative commentator Patrick J. Buchanan states: ‘Fromm became a founding father of feminism.’ To Wilhelm Reich, ‘The authoritarian family is the authoritarian state in miniature. Familial imperialism is . . . reproduced in national imperialism.’ To Adorno ‘the patriarchal family was the cradle of fascism.’
All the while the present-day youth who are heirs to the 1960s New Left generation spawned by the CIA and the foundations during the Cold War, supposing that they are fighting globalisation and capitalism, are simply the products of the dialectic that has welded them into a malleable mass at the service of those they think they are opposing.

Born 1955 in Dallas, Texas, Kyle Gann is a composer of both microtonal and conventionally-tuned music, and the author of seven books on American music. His magnum opus is Hyperchromatica (2015-17), a two-and-a-half-hour cycle of pieces for three retuned, computer-driven pianos in a 33-tone scale (on the Other Minds label). His books include:
The Arithmetic of Listening: Tuning Theory and History for the Impractical Musician (University of Illinois Press, 2019); Charles Ives’s Concord: Essays After a Sonata (University of Illinois Press, 2017); Robert Ashley (American Composers Series, University of Illinois Press, 2012); No Such Thing as Silence: John Cage’s 4’33” (Yale University Press, 2010); Music Downtown: Writings from the Village Voice (University of California Press, 2006); American Music in the 20th Century (Schirmer Books, 1997); and The Music of Conlon Nancarrow (Cambridge University Press, 1995)
He also wrote the introductions to the 50th-anniversary edition of John Cage’s Silence and to the new edition of Robert Ashley’s Perfect Lives. Since 1997 he has taught at Bard College, where he is the Taylor Hawver and Frances Bortle Hawver Professor of Music, and from 1986 to 2005 he was the new-music critic for the Village Voice.
Gann studied composition with Ben Johnston, Morton Feldman, and Peter Gena, and about a fourth of his music is microtonal, using up to 58 pitches per octave. His rhythmic language is steeped in polytempo, phase-shifting, prime-numbered meters, and other such numerical devices. His early works, up to Custer and Sitting Bull – a microtonal, one-man music theater work he’s performed more than 30 times from Brisbane to Moscow – often draw from American Indian sources. Other major works include Sunken City, a piano concerto commissioned by the Orkest de Volharding in Amsterdam; Transcendental Sonnets, a 35-minute work for choir and orchestra commissioned by the Indianapolis Symphonic Choir; The Planets, commissioned by the Relache ensemble via Music in Motion and continued under a National Endowment for the Arts Individual Artists’ Fellowship; and Proença, a chamber song cycle on Ezra Pound. In 2007, choreographer Mark Morris made a large-ensemble dance, Looky, from five of Gann’s works for Disklavier (computerized player piano).
Gann was a co-founder of the Society for Minimalist Music, and has given keynote addresses at conferences around the world. His writings include more than 3500 articles for more than 45 publications, including scholarly articles on La Monte Young (in Perspectives of New Music), Henry Cowell, John Cage, Edgard Varese, Ben Johnston, Earle Brown, Julius Eastman, Mikel Rouse, John Luther Adams, Dennis Johnson, and other American composers. His blog PostClassic (2003-2016) was for many years the most widely read blog by a single composer. From 1999 to 2010 he wrote the “American Composer” column for Chamber Music magazine, and he was awarded the Peabody Award (2003), the Stagebill Award (1999) and the Deems-Taylor Award (2003) for his writings. His music is available on the New Albion, New World, Cold Blue, Lovely Music, Mode, Other Minds, Meyer Media, New Tone, Innova, Microfest, Vous Ne Revez Pas Encore, Brilliant Classics, and Monroe Street labels. In addition to Bard he’s had teaching gigs at Bucknell, Columbia, Brooklyn College, and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. In 2003, the American Music Center awarded Gann its Letter of Distinction, along with Steve Reich, Wayne Shorter, and George Crumb.

My name is Matt Winick and I like to study history and social justice. Also I enjoy writing letters to people ranging from celebrities through public officials including judges who I find inspiring to me or how I believe that they make a great difference.
The Office of His Holiness the Dalai Lama
Thekchen Choeling Complex

Dear Dalai Lama,
My name is Matthew Winick and I have a strong interest in history and world culture to understand not to repeat the same mistakes in the past and to learn more about how different people with diversity help shape the world with their culture. I’m a Christian, but I enjoy studying about Buddhism because I like their ideas. Your beliefs with your ideas really inspire me. We both share the same ideas like need to help the poor, believe in equal rights for everyone no matter what background they are from, human rights, and peace to end conflicts in the world. Your speeches and spreading ideas made me feel proud because we need more people coming out to help support people and help inspire people to not give up hope. Some times I dream of a world to be a better place where there is peace instead of wars and conflicts, people affording health care, poor getting help in order survive, people having equal rights with human rights from discrimination along with oppressive government, and protecting the environment to help improve better life quality for people along with animals from pollution. When I wake up every day I find life is hard for me because I get teased by people because I'm different. I work hard to do the best as I can and to help other people. Currently I’m a volunteer at a children’s museum to help teach children by doing hands on science demonstrations because I strongly believe that an education is a right, not a privilege no matter what preference people come from. As Asian American, volunteer, student, and an idealist I strongly believe in peace, human rights with equal rights for everyone, protect the environment for better quality of life, and to help the poor who are struggling. Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. I’ll pray for you to do well and keep using your ideas to help people benefit well in the world.

Linear, profile and connecting technology for hygienically sensitive areas
From the working platform system to the linear unit
Hygienically critical production areas make particular demands of the machines, systems and technical components used there. RK Rose+Krieger GmbH supplies a whole series of products for different hygiene standards in industry. The range covers everything from usages in cleanrooms in classes 1 to 9 to applications in food sectors.
With the ITAS series, RK Rose+Krieger supplies a stairs and working platform system which offers numerous benefits in the cleanroom: The components impress with their high-quality appearance and a simple design thanks to standardised elements and available 3D datasets. The parts are made of corrosion-resistant cast aluminium, thus creating smooth transitions, which makes it easier to clean the system. The ITAS components can be installed and removed easily, meaning that individual parts or pre-assembled assemblies can be transferred to cleanrooms. Thanks to the low weight of the aluminium elements, no load bearing equipment is needed either. The internal clamping system can be supplied in various custom materials on request – e.g. stainless steel.
For class 1 cleanrooms – in which sensitive components, such as semi-conductors, are manufactured – RK Rose+Krieger has the profile linear units of the RK Duoline clean series for automation tasks in the range. For cleanrooms in classes 5 to 9, the company supplies the Mulitilift II clean lifting column, a hygienic solution for ergonomic workstation systems. All components have been tested and certified accordingly as per EN ISO 14644-1.
For mechanical processing and packaging of food items, RK Rose+Krieger also supplies the E-II single-tube linear unit and the Robust Clamps tube connection elements in stainless steel. The company thus supplies robust, corrosion-resistant, wash-down solutions which meet the sector's hygiene requirements.

When you download your copy of the “Holiday Stress Survival Guide” and learn how to cope with all those annyoing stressors that send you off the deep end.


Doping a semiconductor will eventually lead to the emergence of a metallic ground state. In contrast to silicon and germanium, infinitesimal doping transforms strontium titanate (SrTiO 3 ) to a metal. Thanks to its long Bohr radius, the dilute metallic state hosts extremely mobile carriers in a shallow Fermi sea over a seafloor carved by distant dopants. Two mysteries will be highlighted in this talk. The first is the occurrence of superconductivity in spite of the tiny Fermi energy, thirty times lower than the Debye energy . Our recent results point to s-wave symmetry of the superconducting order parameter. The second is the persistence of T 2 resistivity in the dilute limit. Electron-electron scattering generates a distinct contribution to electrical resistivity following quadratic temperature dependence. The T 2 behavior in SrTiO 3 can be tuned over four orders of magnitude. It persists in the single-band dilute limit despite the absence of two known mechanisms for T 2 behavior, distinct electron reservoirs and Umklapp processes .

This past week a local radio host brought up the subject of Hurricane Rita and how some people have forgotten about the damage Hurricane Rita did to Louisiana. Five years ago I was toying with returning home. But with Hurricane Rita on the way, roads were closed into New Orleans. By this point I had already visited many of the art museums in Memphis. So, I searched for places to go in Nashville.
acrylic on canvas, 5" x 5"
I made a day trip to Nashville to see several art exhibitions. One place I traveled to was Cheekwood. It is an art museum and botanical garden. While exploring the gardens there, I visited a Japanese Garden. In it was a corridor with walls of dark green bamboo. Following my day trip I created this painting.
This painting was a turning point for my series. Something clicked while I was painting this one. Not only was I inspired to finish it. But suddenly I had ideas for more paintings.

I’ve a special fondness for mystery series set in the Appalachian Mountains, even though there aren’t a lot of good ones and a lot of not so great ones. Sharyn McCrumb’s Ballads series had some memorable outings, particularly among the later novels, and one which was outstanding, Ghost Riders.
I stumbled upon Philip DePoy’s series in a used bookstore called The Green Hand (which was of course named after the Stephen King novel) and read all six of them in order (save for the first volume), which was a great delight. (Finding a hardcover edition of the first novel was a difficult quest indeed.) So let me discuss the first novel without going into any too detailed a manner. I was originally going to review the entire series but that would involve divulging too much of the story so I decided not to do that.
Fever Devilin is a retired anthropology professor now living back in the Georgia region of the southern Appalachians. However, his arrival is less than auspicious when he finds a body on the porch of his house — a half brother he didn’t even know existed.
What secrets there are about the brother, Fever, and their family are going unanswered, as anyone in the local area will remain quiet unless Fever can figure out what it is in his family history that no one will talk about. And given his messy family – an adulterous mother whose fate is unknown and father whose identity was never known – only knowing those secrets will help him in knowing who murdered his half-brother.
It’ll take another murder, much more brutal this time, for Devilin to realize his beloved community holds dark secrets, sacred and profane, and that someone is willing to kill in order to keep them secret.
OK, a good mystery needs a number of things — a compelling sympathetic narrator (and I prefer first person singular, which we have here), secondary characters that round out the cast, so to speak, a well-crafted representation of the setting, and, of course, superb story lines. All of these are here in one of the best mystery series I’ve had the pleasure to read.
DePoy has a firm and deft manner of telling his story that keeps it from becoming the hackneyed tale that many writers setting their mysteries in the southern Appalachians end up telling. Certainly I was not disappointed at the time it took the read all six books released so far. Indeed I’ll likely read them again at some point. And I’m eagerly awaiting the next novel!

Sugar consumption has been linked to an increased risk of many diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and chronic kidney disease (CKD). When the blood sugar level gets too high, the kidneys start to spill sugar into the urine. The higher the blood sugar, the more your kidneys work.
This condition is called hyperglycemia, which poses a significant health risk when you have CKD. Hyperglycemia is a problem among diabetics as uncontrolled high blood sugar can result in the increased decline of kidney function, cardiovascular disease, vision loss, etc. Diabetes can damage the kidneys’ blood vessels, which can negatively impact kidney function. This results in fluid, sodium and waste material building up in the blood.
Normal blood sugar level
The amount of sugar in the blood is referred to as blood glucose level. Glucose is the sugar that is present in the blood at all times. Your blood sugar level can be normal, low, or high depending on the amount of glucose in your bloodstream. A normal blood sugar level is less than 100 mg/dL in the morning, for anyone without diabetes or prediabetes.
Note that blood sugar levels can fluctuate throughout the day depending on a range of factors. These factors include diet, physical activity, medications, age, stress, alcohol, menstrual periods, etc. Blood sugar levels over 130 mg/dL before a meal or 180 mg/dL within one to two hours after a meal are considered high. Having high blood sugar levels could mean an underlying health condition that may need medical attention.
Blood sugar tests
The glycated hemoglobin (A1C) test measures the percentage of blood sugar attached to hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is a protein in the red blood cells that carries oxygen to the body’s organs and tissues. The higher the blood sugar gets, the more sugar gets attached to the hemoglobin.
An A1C test will give an estimate of the average sugar level in the blood for the past 3 months and gives an overview of how much impact the sugar has in the body, especially the kidneys. A normal A1C test is less than 6% for people who don’t have diabetes. An A1C level of 6.5 percent or higher on two separate tests show that you have diabetes. An A1C level between 5.7 and 6.4 percent indicates prediabetes. Generally speaking, diabetics should aim for A1C below 7 percent.
Note: Always check in with your primary healthcare provider to determine your A1C goal. Work with them to use your blood sugar tests as a guide when deciding your food choices, physical activity and medications.
Meanwhile, your doctor may request different blood tests if your A1C test results aren’t consistent, you are pregnant or have an uncommon form of hemoglobin called hemoglobin variant. These tests include:
- Random blood sugar test (RBS) - A blood sample is drawn randomly regardless of the last time you ate. This type of testing is helpful because healthy people don’t have varying glucose levels throughout the day. A blood sugar level of 200 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) — 11.1 millimoles per liter (mmol/L) — or higher may indicate diabetes.
- Fasting blood sugar test - A blood sample will be taken after an overnight fast. A fasting blood sugar level of less than 100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L) is normal. A fasting blood sugar level from 100 to 125 mg/dL (5.6 to 6.9 mmol/L) is considered prediabetes. If it's 126 mg/dL (7 mmol/L) or higher on two separate tests, you have diabetes.
- Oral glucose tolerance test - This type of test requires overnight fasting. An oral glucose tolerance test is used to measure your response to glucose and screen diabetes 2. A blood sample is taken before you are asked to drink a liquid with a certain amount of glucose. Your blood will be drawn again every 30 to 60 minutes after you drink the liquid. The test may take up to 3 hours. A reading between 140 and 199 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L and 11.0 mmol/L) indicates prediabetes. Your urine will be tested if you are suspected to have type 1 diabetes.
Managing blood sugar levels
As mentioned, diabetes is one of the leading causes of kidney disease. Managing your blood sugar levels help manage diabetes, thereby reducing your risk of developing CKD. We have a dedicated blog for diabetes and CKD. Click the link here.
Artificial sweeteners for CKD
Also called sugar substitutes, artificial sweeteners provide the sweetness of sugar without calories. Since artificial sweeteners are much sweeter than sugar, foods made with artificial sweeteners may have fewer calories compared to their sugary counterparts. Sugar substitutes don’t spike your blood sugar levels the way regular table sugar does.
Most artificial sweeteners are considered "free foods”, which contain less than 20 calories and approx. 5 grams, or less, of carbohydrates. However, note that the other ingredients in foods that have artificial sweeteners can still impact your blood sugar level.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved eight types of sugar substitutes that can be used in food, drinks, and medications. Among the famous substitutes are:
This sugar is made from two amino acids, the building blocks of protein. It is an odorless, white powder that is not very stable when cooked. Among its brand names include NutraSweet and Equal. Aspartame is typically used to sweeten sodas and sugar-free chewing gum. A 2017 review showed that aspartame may affect the immune system. It may lead to oxidative stress, inflammation and could affect the kidney cells and other cells of various body organs, including the brain, the heart, and the liver.
It is marketed under the brand names of Sweet'N Low and Sugar Twin. It is one of the first sugar substitutes that become available commercially. In 1981, saccharin was banned due to fear of possible carcinogenesis. However, experimentally, no harmful effects on humans were observed with consumption of 5 g saccharin daily over 5 months.
While sucralose is not sugar, it is derived from sugar molecules that have been selectively modified with atoms of chlorine. It prevents the body from being able to absorb it or obtain energy from it during digestion. Sucralose is often used as a baking substitute in place of sugar in recipes. Splenda is among the brands that have sucralose. It is typically used to sweeten lower-calorie dairy-based products like yogurt and ice cream. This sugar substitute is reportedly good for the kidneys even when on dialysis.
4.) Stevia Rebaudiana (Rebaudioside A or Reb A)
Stevia typically refers to the leaf, which is available as a herbal dietary supplement. This artificial sweetener is typically referred to as “all-natural” based on the fact that it is derived from a plant and has similar processing to sugar. Truvia, PureVia, and SweetLeaf are among the stevia-based products. Meanwhile, stevia leaves or "crude stevia extracts" isn’t FDA approved for food additive usage.
5.) Acesulfamepotassium or Acesulfame K)
When Acesulfame K is combined with other non-sugar substitutes, it is said to mimic the taste of real sugar. It is often mixed with saccharine or sucralose in diet sodas to get a sweet taste without a slightly bitter aftertaste. Acesulfame K can be used in baking and is often used in products requiring a longer shelf life. Among their brand names are Sunett and Sweet One.
Although “sugar-free” foods usually mean that there is no sucrose or table sugar in a particular food item, and they typically have lower calories than the full-sugar version, sugar-free items may still have carbohydrates and fat. Hence, it’s important to read the nutrition label completely to help you make sound decisions.
Artificial sweeteners have been under hot water for their potential in causing different health issues such as cancer. However, FDA has established an acceptable maximum daily intake that is considered safe to consume. More so, some people are still skeptical about artificial sweeteners as these substitutes may not reduce the risks of developing diseases such as obesity, diabetes, stroke, hypertension, and heart diseases. Artificial sweeteners may not spike blood sugar as regular table sugar does, but they could deceive our taste buds, stimulate the appetite and cause us to overeat.
Consume these healthier alternatives to sugar and artificial sweeteners instead:
Raw honey has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties that are beneficial for CKD patients, who are prone to infections due to their immunodeficiency background.
Adequate research is still needed to explore honey’s role in treating and preventing infections in CKD.
2.) Maple syrup
Pure maple syrup does not cause the same insulin spike as some other sugars. It may be because it comes directly from the sap of the maple tree and doesn’t need any chemicals during the manufacture.
Dr. Keiko Abe, University of Tokyo shared that the maple syrup may have a positive effect on metabolic syndrome [Type II Diabetes] and could play a role in Type II Diabetes prevention. Maple syrup contains zinc that provides immune support.
3.) Coconut Sugar
The Glycemic Index (GI) measures how quickly foods raise blood sugar levels. Coco sugar has a lower GI compared to regular table sugar due to its fiber called inulin.
Inulin slows down sugar absorption, leading to better sugar control. It’s still unclear, however, whether this modest difference in GI has any health relevance. Coco sugar is also loaded with minerals such as zinc, calcium, potassium and iron.
This sugar alternative is touted as safe and healthy, as it can sweeten foods without the negative health risks associated with common table sugar.
Stevia reduces calorie intake, blood sugar levels, cholesterol levels, and risk of cavities. Nevertheless, commercial stevia products may be highly refined and combined with other sweeteners including erythritol, dextrose, and maltodextrin that may counter its potential health effects.
Managing blood sugar is important for people with CKD, or those who are also suffering both from Diabetes and CKD, to delay the progression of the disease. Read food labels regardless of whether you are using artificial sweeteners or sugar alternatives, since other food ingredients could also be spiking your blood glucose. Consider limiting sugar altogether– regular sugar or its alternatives– and stick to whole foods that are gentle on your kidneys.
Work with your primary health care provider to know more about your A1C level and how to tailor-fit your renal diet to reach your health goals.

From time to time, the Utility receives complaints from customers regarding their water and the appearance of an oily surface film that is particularly evident when preparing coffee or tea. This "film", although not appealing, is not harmful and is the result of a chemical phenomenon that occurs during the water heating process. A more detailed explanation of this phenomenon is as follows:
1. The Village of Grafton water supply is characterized as “very hard” water. Chemically speaking, this means it contains high levels of calcium carbonate. During the heating process, calcium carbonate will normally "precipitate out" from water and cause a scale build-up that adheres to surface. Grafton adds a polyphosphate chemical to its water supply that normally inhibits the precipitation or "scaling" process; however, as temperature rises (i.e., during the water heating process), the effectiveness of the polyphosphate chemical is reduced).
2. Coffee and/or tea contain a derivative called “tannin”. This is the "color" which leaches out during the preparation process. When the polyphosphate chemical becomes less effective during the heating process and fails to condition the water hardness (prevent scaling), the tannin from the coffee or tea reacts as a substitute conditioner and in effect, forms the "oily film" which becomes evident on the surface of your coffee or tea.

City may change sewer policy
Access change would require some developments to annex
Published: Wednesday, September 15, 2010 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, September 14, 2010 at 11:48 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | The Tuscaloosa City Council is considering a change in its sewer access policy that would require new commercial development in the Alabama Highway 69 South area to annex into the city.
For now, the policy change wouldn’t include new residential developments, but that could come later. Council projects committee members decided to bring the ordinance back to the table next week and discuss including new residential customers later.
“All I care about now is commercial,” said Bill Snowden director of economic development.
In 2007, the city changed its sewer access policy to require anyone who wanted city sewer service to be annexed into the city. The policy, however, excluded an area roughly south of Bear Creek Road that was served by the city.
The proposed ordinance would end the exemption for all new development in the area except residential. The same rules that apply everywhere else would apply in that area. The ordinance would only affect new development, not existing customers.
City Attorney Bob Ennis said the city included the exemption because people in the area were already planning developments counting on accessing sewer without being annexed into the city.
“The people who are building there want to go to the county schools there,” Ennis said. “There was no way they were going to annex into the city. We decided why buy into that fight and inconvenience all those people when we don’t have any city schools down there and there are county schools in the area.”
The city first extended water and sewer lines into the Highway 69 South area in the late 1980s and early 1990s after Hillcrest High School opened and the area began to develop residentially. Ennis said the city was concerned that if it did not extend water and sewer into the area, people would form their own municipality in the area.
“Then you’ve got another municipality on your city limit line, and the city’s not going to grow anymore,” Ennis said.
The city charged businesses and residents outside the city limits a “tapping fee” to tie on to city sewer.
But with the area largely developed, businesses must now rely on city water and sewer in the area. The city would gain tax revenue and business license fees if businesses are required to come into the city.
Ennis said John McConnell, director of planning and development services, is concerned about how commercial property is developing in the area. Developers are constructing buildings that don’t conform to city zoning codes and then immediately annexing into the city. It has become a way to get around city zoning laws, Ennis said.
Councilwoman Cynthia Almond questioned why the city should exclude residential property. The sewer system is reaching capacity in the area, and there seems to be no advantage for the city to allow new development outside of the city to tie on to the city sewer.
“That would be a policy decision for you to make,” Ennis said. “If you want to go back and include residential, too, I can write it (the ordinance) that way.”
Robin Edgeworth, an administrator in the Office of the City Attorney, and local engineer Jack McGuire noted that there might be an advantage to continuing to allow new residential developments outside the city to tie on to the city’s sewer. The city wants commercial development in the area, they said.
Requiring new residential developments to annex into the city might slow growth in the area, McGuire and Edgeworth said. Commercial growth depends on residential growth, and if residential growth slows, commercial growth might slow as well.
Other committee members noted that new residential developments might build private sewer systems, raising concerns about those systems failing in the coming decades. That could create health problems in the area.
“If you’re going to include residential, you’re going to ruffle some feathers,” Councilman Lee Garrison said. “There might be some people with some prospective property out there that they’re thinking of developing.”
City Engineer Joe Robinson said sewer system capacity will limit growth eventually. The city will maintain the current system but it has no plans to expand the system, he said.

Now that you’re retired, we wouldn’t be surprised if you drive less often than before because you’re not commuting to work every day.
Chances are you’re probably putting fewer miles on your car.
That means you might save money by switching to pay-per-mile car insurance. Metromile’s pay-per-mile car insurance policies only charge you for the miles you drive, which gives you more control over how much you pay.
With that in mind, let’s take a closer look at why Metromile might be the best car insurance for senior citizens.
5 reasons pay-per-mile insurance makes sense for seniors
Let’s take a look at how senior drivers could save money with Metromile:
1. You’re not ready to give up your keys just yet.
Seniors are driving later in life than ever before.
According to the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration, more than 45 million people who were 65 years or older had a driver’s license as of 2018, the most recent year for which data is available. That means about 72% more senior drivers are on the road than 20 years prior in 1998.
That might not surprise you, but what’s more astonishing is that more than 4 million of these senior drivers are at least 85 years old.
We believe driving can give seniors a sense of independence. If you have your own car, you don’t have to rely on family or friends to get around; you can continue to take care of yourself instead of depending on others.
That’s a great reason to stay behind the wheel, and as a responsible driver, you’ll need a car insurance policy that matches your driving habits and lifestyle.
2. You don’t drive as much these days
While you still enjoy driving, you probably don’t get behind the wheel as much as you used to.
Seniors drive an average of 7,646 miles per year, which is about half as much as most drivers, according to the Federal Highway Administration.
This sharp decline might be a reflection of the fewer responsibilities you have at this stage of life. For example:
- If you recently retired, you no longer have to drive to work five days a week.
- If you’re an empty nester, you probably stopped driving your kids around a while back.
You also might have cut back on driving for health reasons.
Older adult drivers are more than twice as likely to report having a medical problem that makes it difficult to travel, according to a recent U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report.
One such problem is arthritis, the National Institute on Aging points out.
Your joints may get stiff, and your muscles may weaken as you get older, the institute explains.
The National institute on Aging continues: “Arthritis, which is common among older adults, might affect your ability to drive. These changes can make it harder to turn your head to look back, turn the steering wheel quickly, or brake safely.”
That’s not to say you don’t drive at all anymore. Just that you don’t drive as often as you used to.
Whatever the reason may be, if you’re driving less frequently, you might save money with Metromile’s pay-per-mile car insurance.
3. You’re living on a fixed income
You might be living on a smaller income in retirement.
If you don’t have a large nest egg and you’re mostly relying on Social Security checks, you could be facing a tighter budget than you did when you had a full-time job to pay for your expenses.
With pay-per-mile car insurance, control how much you pay each month. Car insurance can be one less thing you have to worry about.
4. You could get a discount
Metromile offers a mature driver discount in most states.
We recognize that your decades of experience behind the wheel usually translate into safer driving practices.
Generally, older adults drive more safely than other age groups, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Older adults are more likely to wear seat belts, drive when conditions are safest, and don’t drink and drive.
These safe driving habits can help you avoid accidents. “Even at 85, senior drivers crash less often, per mile, than teens,” a Consumer Reports study found.
5. You drive an older car
Insurance companies consider the type of car you drive when determining how much you might pay for car insurance. Older vehicles tend to be cheaper to insure.
So if you drive an older car, we’re happy to pass the savings on to you.
How much do Metromile customers save?
People who don’t drive often (the majority of Americans) and switch to Metromile can save hundreds of dollars. The table below shows you just how much the average driver can expect to save based on how many miles they drive each year, month, or week.
Keep in mind: seniors drive an average of 7,646 miles per year, which means they could save between $500 and $700 a year.
When you break it down by gender, older men drive 10,304 miles per year, while older women drive only 4,785 miles per year.
As life slows down, you might find yourself driving less than you used to when you had a job to get to or kids to bring to school.
That’s why today could be the perfect time to switch to pay-per-mile car insurance.
