FIGHTING FREE RADICALS
Antioxidants are vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that protect and repair cells from damage caused by free radicals. Many experts believe this damage plays a part in a number of chronic diseases, including hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis), cancer, and arthritis. Free radicals can also interfere with your immune system. So, fighting off damage with antioxidants helps keep your immune system strong, making you better able to ward off colds, flu, and other infections.
Antioxidants are compounds that neutralize the cellular-damaging effects of free radicals. Free radicals are produced naturally in your body, but when you exercise hard, your body pumps out more free radicals. Environmental factors such as pollution, the sun, cigarette smoke, and herbicides can also spawn free radicals. The danger is that free-radical damage may lead to cancer. Antioxidants interact with and stabilize free radicals and may prevent some of the damage that free radicals otherwise might cause. As an active person, more antioxidants may help you slow the aging process, ward off cancer and stress, and promote good health.
CURCUMIN (TURMERIC) DESCRIPTION
AN ANTI-INFLAMMATORY SPICE
Turmeric, also known as Curcumin and Curcuma longa, is part of the ginger family (Zingiberaceae) and is a popular spice widely cultivated throughout India, China and Indonesia. It is the major ingredient in curry, a spice that is used quite liberally in the Indian diet. Turmeric is useful as an anti-inflammatory, and has anti-cancer effects, but recent research studies have suggested that curry rich in Curcumin has the ability to reduce the effects of Alzheimer's. India has one of the lowest Alzheimer's disease rates in the world, estimated at one percent of individuals over 65, whereas, ten percent of Americans over 65 develop Alzheimer's disease.
Curcumin is the principal curcuminoid in Turmeric. Turmeric's other two curcuminoids are desmethoxycurcumin and bis-desmethoxycurcumin. The curcuminoids are natural phenols that are responsible for the yellow color of Turmeric. Curcumin can exist in several tautomeric forms, including a 1,3-diketo form and two equivalent enol forms. The enol form is more energetically stable in the solid phase and in solution. Curcumin can be used for boron quantification in the curcumin method. It reacts with boric acid to form a red-colored compound, rosocyanine. Curcumin is brightly yellow colored and may be used as a food coloring. As a food additive, its E number is E100.
TURMERIC - CURCUMIN ANTIOXIDANTS
Curcumin can potentially benefit health by promoting the immune system, helping maintain a healthy digestive system, supporting healtlhy bones, joints and overall skeletal system, helping to maintain cholesterol levels that are already within normal range and promoting healthy blood and liver functions. Turmeric antioxidants help protect cells from free radical damage. The antioxidant content within Turmeric comes from the active curcuminoid compounds. These compounds deliver antioxidants that may be 5 to 8 times stronger than vitamin E and also stronger than vitamin C, 3 times more powerful than grape seed or pine bark extract and strong enough to scavenge the hydroxyl radical, considered by many to be the most reactive all all oxidants.
The organic ingredients found in Turmeric can help promote healthy skin. Curcuminoids support important blood and liver functions, healthy joints and overall well-being, which in turn helps promote radiant, supple skin. Turmeric has been considered to be a skin food for thousands of years in India and other cultures. Turmeric helps cleanse the skin and maintain its elasticity, provide nourishment to the skin and balance the effects of skin flora. Turmeric can act against normal aging with its skin promotion and antioxidant capabilities resulting in outer beauty plus an inner purity.
Turmeric can assist your cells in three ways by helping neutralize substances that can cause cellular stress, maintaining cell integrity when threatened by occasional environmental stressors, and providing the antioxidants needed to help support cells against excessive oxidation and free radicals. Turmeric is also recognized as an adaptogen, helping to support the body against stress and providing immune support.
AYURVEDIC PRACTICE & TURMERIC
Ayurveda is India's ancient holistic system meaning "knowledge of life" with herbs lying at the very heart of Ayurvedic practice. Turmeric, like other herbs and spices, is a principle herb in Ayurveda with multiple uses, including blood cleansing and maintaining healthy skin. In Ayurvedic terminology, Turmeric includes the following:
- Verda sthapana: Promotes a healthy nervous system and helps with occasional discomfort.
- Sangrahani: Supports absorption of vitamins and minerals.
- Anulomana: Helps in purging out wastes and building healthy blood.
- Rakta stambhaka: Promotes the wellness of the circulatory system.
This is only a fraction of Ayurvedic uses. Turmeric has been used in Indian culture for thousands of years for a multitude of health-promoting reasons. An estimated 500 million Indian people still use the spice today.
Curcumin incorporates several functional groups. The aromatic ring systems, which are phenols, are connected by two alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl groups. The diketones form stable enols and are readily deprotonated to form enolates. The alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl group is a good Michael acceptor and undergoes nucleophilic addition. Western scientists first isolated the curcumin molecule in 1815 and obtained its crystalline form in 1870. The overall structure was first identified in 1910 by J. Mitobedzka, Stanislaw Kostanecki and Wiktor Lampe. Curcumin is used as an indicator for boron.
TURMERIC-CURCUMIN USES, HEALTH BENEFITS, & SCIENTIFIC EVIDIENCE
Turmeric is useful as an anti-inflammatory and can be used to reduce Alzheimer’s debilitating effects, but there are multiple studies that suggest Curcumin can have some potential in actually treating various forms of cancer by its ability to suppress tumor initiation, tumor promotion, and even metastasis (the spread of cancer). The studies suggest that Curcumin has enormous potential in the prevention and therapy of cancer. It has been shown to lessen the symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH).
Turmeric also appears to have a positive effect on gall bladder function and can aid in lowering cholesterol. The German Commission E approves Turmeric for a variety of digestive disorders such as gastritis, Curcumin is the active ingredient in Turmeric which induces the flow of bile and helps break down fats.
Preliminary studies have shown this herb may also help relieve the symptoms of osteoarthritis, prevent the blockage of arteries (athersclerosis), and treat roundworms and intestinal worms. As a topical, it can help prevent bacterial infection in wounds.
Although some preclinical studies suggest Curcumin may be useful for the prevention and treatment of several diseases, the effectiveness of Curcumin has neither been confirmed in sufficient preliminary research, nor has it been demonstrated in randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trials.
In one preliminary study, a daily dose of 2 grams of Curcumin extract was found to provide pain relief that was equivalent to ibuprofen for the relief of pain associated with osteoarthritis of the knee. A survey of the literature shows a number of other potential uses and that daily doses over a 3 month period of up to 12 grams proved safe. Some commercial capsules of Curcumin contain piperine, a compound found in pepper which aids absorption of Curcumin into the blood stream.
The effect of Curcumin on amyloid beta plaque build up, a possible major cause for Alzheimer's, has been studied in mice. According to theory, Curcumin may provide anti-inflammatory effects in a neuro-inflammatory cascade in plaque pathogenesis. The study demonstrated that both low and high doses of Curcumin reduced beta-amyloid plaque buildup, an effect that may be similar to that of aspirin which suppressed development of beta-amyloid plaque buildup in preliminary research.
Research in the latter half of the 20th century identified Curcumin as the agent responsible for most of the biological activity of turmeric. In vitro and animal studies have suggested potential biological effects associated with Curcumin. At present, these effects have not been confirmed in humans.
As of 2008, clinical trials in humans were underway, studying the effect of Curcumin on various diseases, including multiple myeloma, pancreatic cancer, myelodysplastic syndromes, colon cancer, psoriasis, and Alzheimer's disease.
Several preliminary research studies have identified Curcumin with potential biological effects:
- In both in vitro and animal studies, Curcumin has shown antitumor, antioxidant, antiarthritic, antiamyloid, anti-ischemic, and anti-inflammatory properties.
- Anti-inflammatory properties may be due to inhibition of eicosanoid biosynthesis.
- In one study, Curcumin protected mice from V. vulnificus-induced septicemia.
- A study found Curcumin hepatoprotective in combination with Absinthium in rats.
- A laboratory study found that low concentrations of Curcumin interfere with Herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) replication. It inhibited the recruitment of RNA polymerase II to viral DNA, thus inhibiting its transcription. This effect was independent of the effect on histone acetyltransferase activities of p300/CBP.
- One study found that Curcumin may be associated with protection from infection by HSV-2 in animal models of intravaginal infections.
- A study in rats found that Curcumin may act as a free radical scavenger and antioxidant, inhibiting lipid peroxidation and oxidative DNA damage, protecting against lead neurotoxicity.
- In rats, Curcumin was shown to be effective in protecting against toxicity and spatial memory impairment induced by amyloid beta-protein infusion.
- A study using a transgenic animal model indicated that Curcumin diminished plaque burden and overall inflammation, but it also increased plaque-associated inflammatory cells suggesting enhanced clearance.
- A study found that Curcumin shrank the size of plaques and reduced neurite dystrophy in an Alzheimer mouse model.
- A study found Curcumin to have a synergistic effect with fish oil to protect against cognitive deficits in a transgenic rodent model.
- Preliminary studies indicate that Curcumin may have a positive effect on neurogenesis in the hippocampus and may increase levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in rats.
- A Curcumin pyrazole derivative was found to improve memory and was neuroprotective, stimulating BDNF in vitro and in vivo. The compound was found to be protective in animal models of brain trauma and stroke.
- In rats, Curcumin may inhibit cardiac hypertrophy and affect cardiac health and repair through different mechanisms.
- In one preliminary human study, Curcumin increased insulin secretion from the pancreas.
- A human study of 240 subjects observed that Curcumin could reduce the risk of having a type 2 diabetes.
The potential anti-cancer effects of Curcumin have been the subject of several preliminary studies:
- Curcumin's potential anticancer effects may stem from an ability to induce apoptosis in cancer cells without cytotoxic effects on healthy cells. Curcumin may interfere with activity of the transcription factor NF-KB, which has been linked to a number of inflammatory diseases such as cancer.
- One study suggested Curcumin may inhibit a cancer-associated complex via mechanisms yet to be defined.
- An in vitro study in a human glioblastoma cell line reported that Curcumin may inhibit tumor cell proliferation, migration and invasion, and that these effects may be mediated through interference with a signaling pathway.
- When 0.2 percent Curcumin was added to the diet of rats or mice previously given a carcinogen, it reduced incidence of colon carcinogenesis.
- In one in vitro study Curcumin had phyto-estrogenic activity that might affect onset of breast cancer.
- In immunodeficient mice with breast cancer, Curcumin inhibited the formation of lung metastases, possibly through the regulation of cytokines.
- A study found that Curcumin might affect kidney function by reducing lipopolysaccharide-induced renal inflammation.
In Phase I clinical trials, dietary Curcumin was shown to exhibit poor bioavailability (i.e., low levels in plasma and tissues). Potential factors that limit the bioavailability of curcumin include poor absorption, rapid metabolism, and rapid systemic elimination. Numerous approaches to increasing Curcumin bioavailability have been explored, including the use of adjuvants like piperine.
The bioavailability of Curcumin ingested in foods may be increased as a result of cooking or dissolution in oil.
Overexpression of the ATP-binding cassette gene ABCA1 has been reported to confer resistance to Curcumin in terms of NFkappaB activation that can be reversed by ABCA1 silencing.

CURCUMIN-TURMERIC DOSAGE INFORMATION
Curcumin is the active ingredient of turmeric, and is also found in limited amounts in Ginger. It is a potent anti-inflammatory and cancer preventative molecule, and similar to Fish Oil it seems to be an effective metabolic syndrome band-aid. Black Pepper greatly enhances absorption.
There are various forms of Turmeric. You can use it to season your food, or buy it in capsule or pill form to take as a supplement. It is important to follow product label directions before use.
For any systemic purpose (requiring absorption from the intestines), then an oral supplementation of curcumin in the range of 80 to 500 mg would be required assuming an enhancement. Curcumin is poorly absorbed inherently, and one of the following is mandatory:
- Pairing curcumin with Black Pepper (Piperine).
- Curcumin phytosomes complexed with Phosphatidylcholine (Meriva or BCM-95).
- Curcumin nanoparticles (Theracurcumin).
- Water-soluble curcumin (Polyvinyl Pyrrolidone).
If one of the above enhancements are not used, then too little curcumin will be absorbed and even doses of up to 4,000 mg may be wholly inactive (8 to 16 g would only be slightly active). If using curcumin for intestinal purposes, then absorption from the intestines into the blood is not necessarily required. Due to this, one can simply use Turmeric at the dose of 2 to 4 g daily or take curcumin supplementation without any of the aforementioned enhancements.
Avoid supplements that contain unnecessary fillers, additives and excipients. An excipient is a substance added to the supplement as a processing or stability aid. One ingredient, magnesium stearate (known as stearic acid) is a potentially toxic metal additive from pill production. Dibasic Calcium Phosphate (DCP) may inhibit the absorption of essential minerals within your system. There are others, but the base line is - you do not want or need these ingredients in your turmeric supplement. Some can pose potential health risks and all are unnecessary.
Make sure your herbal supplement comes from a reliable certified organic producer committed to quality processing and products. Look for supplements that contain only 100-percent certified organic ingredients and with Turmeric extract, at least 95-percent curcuminoids. Do not rely on low quality grocery store spice.
Additionally, when the spice is heated during cooking many of the beneficial properties are lost. Look for supplements in a vegetable capsule and avoid gelatin-based capsules whenever possible. Do not settle for inferior products.

CURCUMIN-TURMERIC SAFETY, CAUTIONS, & INTERACTIONS
Turmeric is considered safe when taken in the recommended doses; however, taking excessive amounts may produce stomach upset and, in extreme cases, ulcers. NOTE: Normal therapeutic doses of Turmeric protect from ulcers, but at very high doses, it may induce ulcers. This is why it is very important to take only the recommended dose of this herbal remedy. Turmeric should not be taken by those who have been diagnosed with gallstones or obstruction of the bile passages without explicit direction from a qualified practitioner. Safety in young children, pregnant or nursing women, or those with severe liver or kidney disease is not known.
CURCUMIN SAFETY RESEARCH
Kawanishi et al. remarked that Curcumin, like many antioxidants, can be a "double-edged sword" where, in the test tube, carcinogenic and pro-oxidant effects may be seen in addition to anticancer and antioxidant effects. Carcinogenic effects are inferred from interference with the p53 tumor suppressor pathway, an important factor in human colon cancer. In vitro and in vivo studies suggest that Curcumin can have carcinogenic effects.
Clinical studies in humans with high doses (2 to 12 grams) of Curcumin have shown few side effects, with some subjects reporting mild nausea or diarrhea. More recently, Curcumin was found to alter iron metabolism by chelating iron and suppressing the protein hepcidin, potentially causing iron deficiency in susceptible patients. Further studies seem to be necessary to establish the benefit/risk profile of curcumin.
There is no or little evidence to suggest Curcumin is either safe or unsafe for pregnant women. However, there is still some concern medicinal use of products containing curcumin could stimulate the uterus, which may lead to a miscarriage, although there is not much evidence to support this claim. According to experiments done on rats and guinea pigs, there is no obvious effect (neither positive, nor negative) on the pregnancy rate or number of live or dead embryos. Curcumin has embryotoxic and teratogenic effects on zebrafishes (Danio rerio) embryos.

Curcumin, turmeric's active constituent, protects against free radical damage because it is a strong antioxidant. It is a powerful anti-inflammatory and protects against inflammatory calcium loss from our bones. It also reduces inflammation by lowering histamine levels and possibly by increasing production of natural cortisone by the adrenal glands. It protects the liver from a number of toxic compounds. It also has been shown to prevent platelets from clumping together, which in turn improves circulation and helps protect against atherosclerosis. There are also numerous animal studies showing a abnormal cell growth-preventing action of curcumin. This may be due to its antioxidant activity in the body.

Curcumin is impressing scientists around the world with its remarkable multiple health benefits. Curcumin is a polyphenol present in the spice turmeric and was first used by Indians over 3,000 years ago in traditional Ayurvedic medicine. Modern science has found that curcumin has remarkable antioxidative, immunomodulatory, proapoptotic, hepatoprotective and antiangiogenic properties.Curcumin is also found to increase detoxifying enzymes and promote healthy DNA function. Studies have tied inflammation to overexpression of a protein molecule called nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB). NF-kappaB acts like a switch to turn on genes that produce the bodys inflammatory responses. Because NF-kappaBs expression increases in aging adults, scientists have sought ways to modulate NF-kappaB and its effects in the body. Curcumin has been shown to exert powerful inhibitory effects on NF-kappaB activation within the body. Curcumin inhibits overexpression of NF-kappaB. In addition, curcumin inhibits the metabolism of arachidonic acid, as well as activities of cyclooxygenase, lipoxygenase, and cytokines (interleukins and tumor necrosis factor). Other clinical trials suggest roles for curcumin in helping maintain healthy lipid profile, bowel, and joint functions.Curcumin can also help maintain normal healthy platelet function,and have immunomodulatory effects by inhibiting histamine release from mast cells.Other studies show curcumins potential for supporting healthy brain function and offering neuroprotection. Curcumin may effectively support pancreatic islet health.Curcumins multifaceted effects include protecting against estrogen-mimicking chemicals, protecting against damaging free radicals, and promoting normal cell cycle growth. The problem is that curcumin is poorly absorbed into the bloodstream. Super Bio-Curcumin absorbs up to seven times better than conventional curcumin. So this patented formula represents the most cost-effective way to supplement with this critical nutrient. Studies show that one 400 mg capsule a day of this turmeric compound can provide curcumin blood levels equal to ingesting 2,5002,800 mg of commercial curcumin supplements. And not only does this turmeric formulation provide far greater peak blood levels, but the curcumin remains in the bloodstream almost twice as long as conventional supplements. And this enhanced absorption delivery complex provides other beneficial turmeric compounds in addition to standardized curcumin. Each 400 mg capsule of Super Bio-Curcumin is equivalent to 2,772 mg of a typical 95% curcumin extract.

ST. PETERSBURG — A Massachusetts man was arrested Tuesday after police said he grabbed Raymond, the Tampa Bay Rays' fuzzy blue mascot.
Trevor James Martin, who lives in a Boston suburb, was drinking beer as the Rays played the Boston Red Sox at Tropicana Field, St. Petersburg police said.
Martin, 27, reached across the stadium's railing and twice grabbed Raymond by the neck, officers said. Martin was staggering, slurring his words and smelled of alcohol, according to an arrest affidavit. Raymond pushed back and broke free, police said.
Martin, who told officers he drank two beers during the game, faces a misdemeanor charge of disorderly intoxication. The "victim within the mascot suit" declined to press battery charges, police said. Martin was released from Pinellas County Jail early Wednesday on $100 bail.

“Germany’s considerable efforts in helping asylum-seekers and refugees, in particular Syrians, is commendable and the support of the vast majority of the population is heartening. However, progress is needed to improve reception conditions, speed up fair asylum procedures and accelerate refugee integration” said today Nils Muižnieks, Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights, at the Bundespressekonferenz in Berlin while presenting his report on the visit to Germany carried out on 24 April and from 4 to 8 May 2015.
Recognising the challenges arising from the reception of an increasingly high number of asylum seekers, the Commissioner underlines the importance of always providing adequate reception conditions. To this end, he recommends the Federal authorities to adopt nationwide obligatory minimum standards for the operation of reception facilities and to increase their support to Länder and municipalities as regards the costs of reception. He also notes that further steps should be taken to improve asylum seekers’ access to health care. The Commissioner also urges the German authorities to ease the requirements for family reunification of refugees and other beneficiaries of international protection and foster their integration, in particular by strengthening language courses.
Welcoming the measures taken since 2013 to help Syrian refugees, the Commissioner recommends increasing the resettlement quota and aligning the status of resettled refugees to that of persons granted status through an asylum procedure in the country.
The Commissioner is very concerned by the rise of racism and intolerance in Germany and urges the German authorities to broaden their approach to combating racism, focusing not exclusively on the activities of extremist organised groups but also on racist acts committed by individuals not associated with these groups. “The NSU affair provides opportunities for progress to be made on this front. The amendments to the Criminal Code introducing racist motivation as an aggravating circumstance of ordinary offences are a good step in the right direction. Now it is necessary to provide formal guidance to the police and members of the judicial system on how to deal with racist offences and to better record and investigate hate crimes”.
The NSU affair also clearly indicates the need to look more deeply into how structural racism affects the conduct of law enforcement authorities towards minority groups. “I am concerned at reports of racially biased conduct, in particular racial profiling carried out by German law enforcement. Victims of discrimination by public authorities should be provided with effective legal protection. To effectively counter racism and discrimination it is also important to gather comprehensive data and disaggregate it by grounds such as ethnic origin.”
The Commissioner encourages the authorities to strengthen the existing legal framework on oversight of security and intelligence activities and to improve legal remedies against any abuse by these services. “The oversight currently operated by the Parliamentary Control Panel must be bolstered by considerably strengthening its support staff and technical expertise. Further resources should be allocated also to the G-10 Commission so that it has sufficient technical expertise to carry out its activities and capacity to effectively scrutinize intrusive data mining by the intelligence services. The authorities should also guarantee that all oversight bodies have access to all information, regardless of its level of classification.”
Lastly, the Commissioner commends Germany for having set up a number of national human rights institutions, such as the German Institute of Human Rights, the Federal Anti-Discrimination Agency, and the National Agency for the Prevention of Torture. At the same time, he calls on the German authorities to increase the powers and resources of such institutions in order to help them better serve the public good. He finally recommends establishing an independent police complaints mechanism able to deal effectively with complaints concerning all law enforcement officials.

Reply To: Does anyone here have a Crosman 262 or 180?
I’ve owned a couple of 180’s , the best was a sear’s model in that it has cope grooves ( most 180’s do NOT) and the better trigger like on the 160 or QB. Excellent rifles! All of them group well though I really need a scope, even the direct sear trigger was pretty good but the adjustable is much better. Two power settings on the coking know and some ( look for the extra screw in the cocking knob) have further adjustable power. When the Co2 get low it dumps the remaining gas, a feature I very much liked, much better than having to fire it down after the poi changes. Also very easy to work on and most all parts are still available somewhere or another.

When life gets busy (let's be honest, when is it not?), my number one secret weapon for eating well and feeling great is healthy meal planning and preparation. Starting to plan and prep healthy meals for an entire week can be overwhelming, but with these tried and true methods, you'll feel like a pro in no time. This blog post is the first of many in which I'll break down my methods for meal planning, purchasing, and prepping.
"WHAT DO YOU WANT TO EAT?" "I DON'T KNOW."
How often has that frustrating conversation happened in your life? Too many times, in my case. Avoiding 'Food Decision Paralysis' was my entire motivation for learning how to plan meals.
Start with a meal plan that includes your list of recipes and groceries to purchase. Without a meal plan, you might find yourself wasting time roaming around the grocery store, and ultimately purchasing too much (or too little) food. If you buy ingredients without intention, food inevitably goes bad or you waste time daily thinking about what to cook.
+ STEP 1: PLAN YOUR MEAL COUNT
Every Sunday morning, shortly after completing my morning routine, I brew a cup of coffee and sit down at my dining room table to plan my weekly meals. This is when you decide how many meals you're going to plan for each week: Every meal? Just dinners? Snacks and desserts, too?
To keep things simple, I usually plan to repeat meals for breakfast and lunch, opting to reserve different meals each night for dinner. The meal plan breakdown I use is as follows:
- Breakfast: 3 (2 for the weekdays, 1 for the weekend) - Lunch: 3 (2 for the weekdays, 1 for the weekend) - Dinners: 6 (with 1 night reserved for dining out on date nights)
This comes to a grand total of 12 recipes / meal plans that I create each week. I personally don’t plan for snacks because I don't have time to eat them during my typical workday; instead, I plan a lunch and make a smoothie to go. The meals I plan for weekday breakfasts and lunches are fairly straight-forward and simple. It’s where weekday dinners and weekend meals come into play that I get more creative with my recipes.
+ STEP 2: PLAN YOUR PLATE
One of the more difficult aspects of meal planning is ensuring that you are eating a well-rounded meal. If you’ve ever stressed over counting calories in order to stay healthy, give yourself a break. The template I use to structure meals is based on visual cues, in which the plate is divided into three sections according to the following ratio:
1. Non-Starchy Vegetables (50-70%): raw, cooked, sprouted, or fermented vegetables. 2. High-Quality Proteins (10-15%): grass-fed and -finished meats, organic or pastured poultry, wild-caught fish, organic or pasture-raised eggs, dairy, nuts and seeds, or bone broth. 3. Healthy Fats (20-30%): avocados, olive oil, nuts, seeds, or cheese.
The bulk of the plate (or bowl) is dedicated towards non-starchy vegetables, followed by a palm-sized portion of proteins, and a dose of healthy fats. As for starchy vegetables, legumes, and grains, it’s best to keep portion sizes small.
Use this template to easily put together a healthy breakfast, lunch, or dinner. You can download the FREE weekly meal planning template PDF below.
Here are some examples of meals for a breakfast, lunch, and dinner:
1. Breakfast - V: sautéed spinach and mushrooms - P: fried or poached eggs - F: avocado
2. Lunch - V: romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, celery, and red onion - P: chicken salad - F: avocado
3. Dinner - V: roasted broccoli, cauliflower rice - P: broiled wild fish with lemon juice - F: extra-virgin olive oil
BONUS! I’m all about giving you the tools you need to optimize your life, so I’m sharing a FREE weekly meal planning chart to help you map out your week and plan effectively. Get yours now!

Includes a place to write out your nutrition goal for the week. Some examples include: drink more water, eat 1,200 calories/day, increase veggie intake to 70%, no fast food, no sugar, eat a salad every day, etc. The possibilities are endless!
+ STEP 3: PLAN YOUR GROCERY LIST
Once you have chosen your meals for the week, go back through and create a shopping list. Write everything down, whether or not you have it in stock. Next, cross any ingredients off your list that you already have in stock in your pantry, fridge, or freezer. I do it this way so when I go to prep my meals (more details on this in another blog post soon), I can set aside ALL of the ingredients I need to cook, not just the items I purchased.
EXTRA BONUS! Here's a FREE weekly grocery list to help you plan your next shopping trip!
Click to download the FREE Weekly Grocery List template!
That's it... meal planning complete! Now give yourself a pat on the back for taking action to reduce your stress levels and avoid the dreaded 'Food Decision Paralysis.' The first few times you sit down to plan meals, it may feel overwhelming. There’s a lot to consider and you may overestimate your ability (or willingness) to cook a full meal on weeknights. I encourage you to take things easy and keep your meals relatively simple during the week and to live lavishly on the weekends when you can afford more time and energy to testing out new recipes and cooking skills. The process will become faster the more often you do it. Let me know how it goes!

The total amount would limit financial institutions to four payday improvements per debtor, every year
Minnesota State Capitol Dome (Image: Amy Kuck, Getty Images/iStockphoto)
ST. PAUL The Minnesota home has passed away a bill that may impose brand name limitations that are new payday lenders.

Dorholt, who works being fully wellness this is certainly psychological, states he offers seen clients get вЂњstuck for the reason why period of monetary obligation.вЂќ
вЂњIt is just a trap,вЂќ Dorholt reported. вЂњwe consider this become small-scale predatory lending.вЂќ
The legislation proposed once you consider the bill simply will push financing that is such back alleys or in the on line, they claimed.
вЂњIf we require that 5th loan, just whatвЂ™ll i actually do?вЂќ reported Rep. Greg Davids, R-Preston. вЂњHelp the folks invest their rent; assist individuals spend their property loan.вЂќ
Chuck Armstrong, a spokesman for Payday America, a leading loan that is payday in Minnesota, echoed that argument.
Armstrong accused the balanceвЂ™s proponents of вЂњpolitical pandering.вЂќ
вЂњthey undoubtedly are speaking with advocacy teams,вЂќ Armstrong stated related to proponents. вЂњthey aren’t speaking with genuine people that are utilising the solution.вЂќ
St. Cloud a hotspot
Armstrong stated state legislation bars his company from making a few loan at time and energy to a debtor. He reported the price that is standard their organizationвЂ™s loans just isn’t because much as 2 %.
Supporters from the bill released an investigation that says St. Cloud is the second-leading outstate Minnesota city for the level of interest and expenses paid to pay day loan providers.
The group Minnesotans for Fair Lending, which backs the bill, released the research, which it states uses data reported by financial institutions in to the Department of Commerce.
The investigation claims that from 1999 to 2012, Minnesotans paid $82 million in interest and expenses to pay day loan providers, many of them in residential region or areas that are outstate.
With this amount, $2.59 million have been paid to financial institutions in St. Cloud, on the basis of the research. It lists Payday America and folksвЂ™s Small Loan Co. once the payday this is certainly top in St. Cloud since 2004.
Ben Caduff, whom works when you look at the Newman Center at St. Cloud State University, lobbied area legislators to steer the balance. Caduff, the gutsвЂ™s manager of campus ministry and social dilemmas, called the bill вЂњa dilemma of fundamental fairness.вЂќ

Many of us have long argued that the welfare state underwrites irresponsible behaviour and crowds out the institutions that could have provided schools, hospitals and social insurances privately. Ultimately, of course, the welfare state leads to the nanny state as the government tries to regulate the undesirable private behaviour that, arguably, is encouraged by the welfare state. The action by the US government yesterday confirms that we now have a welfare state for bankers. The US government has sent a firm signal that irresponsible behaviour in financial markets will be underwritten by US taxpayers. Bankers gain from the upside of their actions and have the downside underwritten, so they will take more risks. The welfare state for bankers also crowds out the development of private mechanisms that could deal in an orderly fashion with difficulties within the banking and financial systems. Worst of all, of course, governments in the future will use the reckless behaviour that will result from all these Federal rescues to regulate the already over-regulated financial system more.
We need to get a few facts straight. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were completely unnecessary government creations: the Great Depression did not result from the failure of the private financial system but a failure of US government monetary policy. Secondly, our current bubble was again the result of a failure of monetary policy – interest rates held too low for too long. The government could help in the process of an orderly restructuring of the capital of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (whilst providing no financial help) if it is the case that current legal systems are unable to handle that process. But those who have provided capital to the ailing institutions should suffer the losses – not the US taxpayer.

Difference Between Synthetic And Conventional Oil
Conventional oil is an automotive lubricant derived from crude oil. To this base oil, certain additives are added for increased performance and engine protection. Although conventional oil provides decent protection against friction and engine wear, it’s not refined in the way that synthetic oil is.
On the other hand, Synthetic oil begins as conventional oil and is modified to improve its protective and lubricant properties. Synthetic oil generally performs better at high or low temperatures and better deals with engine dirt and impurities than regular oil.
Both conventional and synthetic oils are excellent in their ways. However, the important thing is first to consult the vehicle manufacturer manual and use quality lubricants like Castrol engine oil from distributors like Central Trading Company.

We present a semi-supervised segmentation framework for B-mode ultrasound imaging. It is applicable to any kind of target and imaging settings. Our methodology uses a graph of image patches to represent the ultrasound image and user-assisted initialization with labels, which acts as soft priors. The segmentation problem is formulated as a continuous minimum cut problem and solved with an efficient optimisation algorithm.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development would get a new executive position to handle the housing affairs of homeless veterans if a bill that passed the House on Tuesday advances through the Senate.
The special assistant for veterans affairs would ensure that homeless veterans have fair access to housing and HUD homeless assistance programs. The special assistant would also coordinate with the Department of Veterans Affairs on housing issues.
The bill, sponsored by Rep. Al Green (D-Tex.), passed 414-5.
There are 67,000 homeless veterans on the streets on a given night, according to the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans, which wrote a letter of endorsement in December to members of the House subcommittee that reported the bill.
The number of homeless veterans dropped 12 percent between January 2010 and January 2011, according to HUD figures released in December. HUD estimates 41 percent of homeless veterans live on the streets, in abandoned buildings and vehicles and on park benches.
President Obama’s fiscal 2013 budget calls for a 33 percent increase for homeless veterans assistance programs over last year’s budget.

Ever since President Trump announced plans to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement, city, state and business leaders have been tripping over themselves to show their support for — and intention to uphold — the international agreement on climate change mitigation. The latest case? The city of Santa Barbara, Calif., which just announced plans to switch to 100% renewable energy by 2030. Earlier this month, Portland, Ore. announced a similar commitment, with a 2050 target, rather than 2030.
“Cities are stepping up and re-committing to adopt, honor and uphold the Paris climate goals,” said Santa Barbara Mayor Helene Schneider. How Santa Barbara will reach 100% goal isn’t clear, but it’s already about 30% of the way there. Both Santa Barbara and Portland have joined nearly 300 cities in a pledge to uphold the Paris agreement. They’re among 90 cities committed to a 100% renewably-powered future (though 19 have given themselves until 2035 to get there).
The roster is not limited to liberal municipalities in coastal blue states. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, mentioned by Trump in his announcement, jumped on the Sierra Club’s 100% Clean Energy pledge after the White House’s announcement. The small town of Greensburg, Kansas, signed too. Its Republican mayor, Bob Dixson, was elected on a platform of sustainability and climate change mitigation after a 2007 tornado devastated the town. Columbia, S.C. Mayor Stephen Benjamin is co-chair of the 100% Clean Energy pledge. He’s a Democratic mayor in an overwhelmingly Republican state, as is fellow co-chair Jackie Biskupski, mayor of Salt Lake City, Utah. Benjamin says the city’s 1,000-year flood two years ago made it impossible for the city to ignore the signs of climate change. “We lost 19 people, hundreds of roads damaged, 45 dams destroyed, billions of dollars of damage here across our state,” Benjamin told CityLab.
“I tend to believe that most of the challenges we face are psychological,” Benjamin said. “There are certain things that we occasionally dismiss as just not possible, but more and more, I’m seeing people buy into the idea that we can be at the center of good, progressive policies that also strengthen our local economy, strengthen our businesses, strengthen our citizens.”
