Legislative leaders want to change the way they do business
December 28, 2023
A change is gonna come. Leaders of the Nebraska Legislature want to streamline the process and perhaps change a few rules during the upcoming short session to avoid the mess of last year's 90-day struggle.
A short recap. An Omaha senator introduced a measure to limit medical care for transgender youth, clearly something that is part of the Republican Party national agenda, but not a Nebraska issue. What resulted was months of filibuster by two other Omaha senators that slowed the Legislature to a near halt.
Opponents of the measure, which ultimately passed, showed up every day to protest lo...

TORONTO - Strong demand for trucks helped many Canadian automakers boost their sales in May as they entered into the peak selling season, according to data compiled by DesRosiers Automotive Consultants on Monday.
Sales of light vehicles in Canada totalled 185,040 last month, up 5.3 per cent from the 175,716 sold last May.
Year to date, sales are up 2.4 per cent to 712,059, compared with 695,451 a year ago.
The largest gain was in truck sales, which climbed 7.9 per cent to 98,993, from 91,710 in May 2012.
Tony Faria, co-director of the Office of Automotive Research at the University of Windsor, says that's good news for automakers.
"It's the truck that makes the big margins for them," said Faria.
"So certainly while they'd like to do as well in cars, if they're going to sell more vehicles, all of the companies would rather sell more trucks."
Faria said low interest rates, the availability of credit and incentives from auto companies should keep sales strong throughout the summer months.
Ford Motor Company of Canada took the top spot, selling 32,490 vehicles @ 0.5 per cent more than the 32,338 it sold in May 2012.
Year to date, Ford's sales are up 5.7 per cent to 117,987.
While Ford saw its car sales slip 8.9 per cent to 8,953, truck sales rose 4.6 per cent to 23,537, compared with 22,509 a year earlier.
Chrysler Canada took second place, selling 12 per cent more vehicles this May compared to the previous year, but still falling short of Ford's total.
Chrysler sold 29,249 vehicles last month, compared to 26,218 a year ago, helped by strong sales of its Ram trucks and passenger cars.
GM Canada sold 23,654 vehicles last month, a 1.6 per cent gain from the 23,287 sold in May 2012.
Truck sales grew by 0.5 per cent to 15,419, while car sales grew by 3.6 per cent to 8,235.
Toyota Canada Inc. sold 22,250 vehicles in May, including its Lexus and Scion brands. That's 12.3 per cent more than the Japanese automaker sold in May 2012.
Toyota Canada's truck sales totalled 8,550 for the month, a gain of 14.2 per cent, while Lexus sales grew 11.9 per cent to 1,566 and Scion sales were up 62.9 per cent to 601.
Honda Canada Inc. sold 16,723 vehicles, including in its Acura division, up 22 per cent from last May.
"The spring selling season is underway and this is the type of momentum we really like to see," said Honda's vice president of sales and marketing Dave Gardner in a statement.
Meanwhile, Kia Canada Inc. saw its sales decline to 7,558 in May, 10.7 per cent lower than May 2012.
Nissan's Canadian sales were also down in May.
The automaker sold 8,367 vehicles, 9.1 per cent lower than last May's total of 9,204.
Sales at its Infiniti division were down 11.8 per cent to 733.
BMW's sales were down 13.2 per cent, while Mercedes-Benz was down 3.1 per cent compared to a year earlier.
"With the exceptions of Audi and Porsche, German luxury brands experienced uninspiring May sales," DesRosiers said in a note.

This morning I want to speak about something that some of you might feel inappropriate, although it is natural and healthy and the central image of the passage read to us from the book of Isaiah. I want to speak about the menstrual cycle.
We have heard read these words: ‘We have all become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous deeds are like a filthy rag.’ That sounds like a negative image, telling us that human beings are dirty before a clean God, and condemning those who think they are acceptable through works rather than through faith. But is that really the message Isaiah is conveying?
I don’t think so. Indeed, quite the opposite. And that is why the image needs a second and closer look. It is better translated in this way: ‘We have all become like a woman in her monthly confinement, and all our righteous deeds are like a menstrual cloth.’ To understand this image, we need to understand something of Jewish custom.
In Jewish custom, certain people were considered ‘unclean’ at certain times. This included women during their period, and following childbirth. ‘Unclean’ meant that the person was required to withdraw from public life, to be set apart for a certain duration and then welcomed back into everyday life. Orthodox Jewish women still remove themselves from the world, including their closest family, during their period – and consider it a gift, not a punishment.
To say that a woman in her monthly confinement is ‘unclean’ is not to say that biology is dirty, or that reproduction is dirty, or that simply being a woman is dirty – unless by dirty we mean the honest dirt of rolling up our sleeves and engaging with the world, as God does. The confinement of the ‘unclean’ is, rather, a sign, to themselves and to the wider community; a cause to stop and to be reminded of something. A visible sign pointing to an invisible experience.
Likewise, a menstrual cloth is a sign – and one that reveals what kind of ‘unclean’ person Isaiah refers to. It is evidence of two things: that a woman has the potential to be pregnant; and that she is not pregnant. That a woman has the potential to carry life within her; and that, for now, this remains unrealised potential. Being late is often the clue that a woman might be pregnant. And post the menopause, the potential to bear life draws to an end.
So if our righteous deeds are like a menstrual cloth, that is not to say that our righteous deeds are something negative – how could living in right relationship towards God and our neighbour, the very thing we are called to do, be considered negative? If our righteous deeds are like a menstrual cloth, this is to say that our righteous deeds are a sign that points to something.
To say, ‘We have all become like a woman in her monthly confinement, and all our righteous deeds are like a menstrual cloth’ is to say that Isaiah’s community has become a sign. A sign of the tension between the real potential to experience God’s presence in our midst and the actual experience of God’s absence.
Isaiah is saying that, as we long for God to come to us, we live with the paradox of hope and absence.
But Isaiah is addressing God, and what he is saying to God, around this image, is: please hasten your coming and do not delay; because in the same way that a couple hoping to conceive lose hope that it will ever happen, so people have lost hope; and having lost hope, they have fallen short of the love that contends for the greatest possible good in all circumstances, and have settled for something less.
Which is what is meant by sin.
God, you have hidden yourself from us, and we have settled for less.
Before we move on, I want to say this: that there are times when Scripture employs male pronouns and images to describe God or his people, where only a male image will do; and there are times when Scripture employs female pronouns and images to describe God or her people, where only a female image will do. I know that some people are uncomfortable with one, or the other, but these images are those that are given us by our faith tradition in order to point to deep truths. And they honour male and female, who bear the likeness of God – even if particular individuals we have known do not seem to us to be worthy of honour. Isaiah has given us an image that honours women, and that includes all humanity in a longing that the lived experience of women reveals.
Let us turn from Isaiah to Paul, writing to the church in Corinth. They are waiting for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ. And in their waiting, Paul assures them that God will strengthen them to the end, and reminds them that God is faithful.
Paul’s community faces the same tension of hope and absence that Isaiah’s community faced. Isaiah prayed for God to come to his people, and 600 years later, Jesus came into the world. Imagine how much longer it would have taken if God hadn’t listened to Isaiah’s prayer! For the community in Corinth, Jesus had come into the world, but he had ascended to the Father and they were longing for his return.
We experience the same longing, as we look back to the first advent and look towards the second advent of our Lord, of God-with-us.
Let us, then, turn from Paul to Jesus. In our reading from the Gospel According to Mark, Jesus addresses the same theme. The tension of hope and absence, which will become the experience of those who wait. It is, as I hope you will have realised, the theme of the season of Advent, which begins today.
We hope for what we do not yet see, for when we see that which we have put our hope in, hope has served its purpose. Yet hope deferred eventually causes the heart to grow weary, causes us to draw back. Another cycle, another Advent, and Jesus still hasn’t returned.
Jesus says, ‘Keep awake.’ Paul writes, you have been enriched with everything you need, to persevere to the end. Isaiah gives us the poetic image that our being set apart for this period at the start of every new year, along with every act of being in right relationship with our neighbour, is a sign to us and to them that while we do not yet see the one we wait for, hope is still alive. Absence may continue, for now, but hope is renewed.
That is why we need Advent. That is the gift of Advent to us. Let us, then, enter our confinement gladly, and be strengthened by God, so that we may be ready to meet our Lord Jesus Christ on the day when he comes.
Maranatha! Come, Lord Jesus!

Washington (CNN) – Could the Boston Marathon bombing have been prevented?
That was the question legislators tried to answer at Thursday's House Committee on Homeland Security hearing, where the members of Congress asked a former senator, Boston's top cop and two experts on public safety about whether or not the intelligence community dropped the ball when they closed an investigation into one of the alleged Boston bombers before the marathon bombing in April.FULL STORY
Washington (CNN) – A new Census Bureau report shows a higher percentage of African-Americans than whites voted in a presidential election for the first time in history last year during the matchup between President Obama and GOP nominee Mitt Romney.
Washington (CNN) – The Obama administration's handling of the aftermath of the Benghazi terror attack has long sparked outrage from Republicans on Capitol Hill and fueled conspiracy theories on talk shows and across the blogosphere.
And those sparks are likely touch off fireworks Wednesday, when three current State Department employees are expected to contradict their leadership in testimony before Republican Rep. Darrell Issa's oversight committee.FULL STORY
Washington (CNN) - A few months after turning 50 years old, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie secretly underwent lap-band surgery in February for the sake of his wife and kids, a source close to the governor confirmed to CNN.
Christie told the New York Post, which first reported the story early Tuesday morning, that the invasive procedure came after his family and friends urged him to start improving his health.
Washington (CNN) - The saying goes: "Time heals all wounds." And for most former U.S. presidents, that appears to be true.

(CNN) – A top House Republican influential on homeland security matters said cutting federal spending for local law enforcement can have serious consequences for fighting terrorism.

Washington (CNN) - As the Supreme Court considers two major same-sex marriage cases that could change marriage in the United States, religious leaders on both sides of the debate believe they are on God's side of the contentious issue.
In the months leading up to this week's Supreme Court hearings, religious leaders from across the country have held prayer vigils and rallies for their respective causes.FULL STORY
Washington (CNN) - A majority of all major religious groups in the United States, according to a survey released Thursday, support a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants currently living in the country.
From American Jews to Mormons, from Catholics to white evangelical Christians, Robert P. Jones, the CEO of Public Religion Research Institute, said the overwhelming support for a pathway to citizenship has been growing in the last few years and is a noticeable reason many in Congress are warming to the idea.FULL STORY
(CNN) – When Rob Portman signed on to the Mitt Romney campaign in January 2012, he was seen as a key supporter - a rising star in the Republican Party, a swing state campaigner and a staunch conservative who could protect Romney on the right.
For the next 11 months, Portman zipped around the country, pitching the candidate he said was "exactly what our nation needs."FULL STORY
Washington (CNN) – President Barack Obama emphasized the need to get immigration reform accomplished this year in a meeting with a diverse group of faith leaders at the White House on Friday.
Religious leaders that attended the meeting said the president spent more than an hour with them, and after making a few remarks at the top of the meeting he let each group discuss their priorities and problems with comprehensive immigration reform. During the discussion, these faith leaders said, Obama made it clear that he wanted to see a bill on immigration reform in the next 60 days.FULL STORY


The impact of individual stories in the Grantville Gazettes will likely never be truly known, because even the bad ones have shaped the action, commentary, and thought on the web-forums 1632 Tech and 1632 Comments. Even those that fail to meet the final test of espousing "canon" developments in the neohistory have influenced later written works.
Eric Flint is a New York Times bestselling author and the creator of the 1632 series. In addition to the 1632 series, he created the "Joe's World" stories and with Dave Freer the Rats, Bats and Vats universe, and with Ryk Spoor the "Boundary" universe. With over five million words in print and professional magazine devoted to the series, 1632 is a unique creation in literary history.

Parents can reduce competition between twins by removing unnecessary competition. For example, instead of seeing which twin can count the highest, have the twins count together with you. And when the twins play outside, stress physical activities that are fun for everyone, rather than those that establish one or the other as the fastest runner or highest jumper.
Competition between twins or any siblings lessens when each child feels valued as a unique individual. Each child needs to receive an abundance of affection and to have some special time alone with you doing a favorite activity. Plus, it is more effective to praise young twins for behaving cooperatively rather than chastising them for competing with each other.
Besides talking to the teacher about your children, you should visit their classroom to see firsthand how they are behaving. If their teacher and/or classmates are constantly comparing your sons, it will cause them to become more competitive. After observing the level of competition between the twins in the classroom, you may wish to discuss with the teacher the possibility of placing them in different classrooms. While most twins in preschool benefit from the social support they give each other, the same classroom does not work for all twins.
You can find out more about raising twins and their special needs online. Visit such websites as National Organization of Mothers of Twin Clubs, Inc. and Twins Magazine.

The FA will next week deliver its long-awaited response to the government's questions on the future of football, but it is understood that the chairman Lord Triesman's more radical proposals have been watered down in an effort to maintain a boardroom consensus.
The FA board met to finalise its response to the culture secretary Andy Burnham's seven questions, first posed last October, around issues such as debt levels in English football, whether more could be done to encourage homegrown players and issues around "competitive balance".
But with three representatives from the Premier League, including its chairman Sir Dave Richards and Manchester United's chief executive David Gill, and two from the Football League on the 11-man board, it is understood the FA response will broadly focus on those areas where there is a consensus between their submissions.
As such, it is likely to add its voice to proposals for a new fit-and-proper- persons test, welcome moves on homegrown players and support improved financial controls. Although it was not included on the agenda, which is drawn up weeks in advance, it is understood that the board also discussed proposals to make the FA a more diverse and representative organisation.
As revealed by the Guardian, an embarrassing error that resulted in a BNP councillor being invited to this week's World Cup 2018 bid launch sparked a crisis meeting with organisations including the Kick It Out anti-racism campaign and the Professional Footballers' Association, at which Lord Triesman advanced a number of proposals to make the FA a more representative body.
Shortly after taking the job, the chairman caused a rift with the Premier League when he hit out at the levels of "toxic debt" among top-flight clubs in an incendiary speech at Stamford Bridge in which he also called for the fit-and-proper-persons test to be strengthened. "Transparency lies in an unmarked grave," he said.

We weren’t too comfortable with this stop – the llamas and alpacas seemed a bit scared and people standing all day in the sun just to please tourists was a bit sad, but they were so lovely with the children and Xavi loved the animals again!
This stop to see how they make the natural dyes was surprisingly interesting. It’s amazing the colours that can come out of plants and we saw real cochineals for the first time – Xavi loved crushing them up on his hand and adding lemon juice to change it from red to orange.
Poor little guinea pigs waiting to become dinner! Xavi didn’t seem to mind, he still wants one as a pet.
Typical Allman though, he did find a gorgeous little kitten and stopped off for a cuddle - so gentle and docile, it would have been a keeper had we been at home!

As soon as you go outside of the cities it's all a bit of a mess!

Panic about coronavirus will cause more trouble: IEDCR
Pointless panic about the novel coronavirus will hinder efforts to prevent the disease, according to the Institute of Epidemiology, Disease Control and Research or IEDCR.
Rumours should not be spread on the issue, IEDCR Director Prof Meerjady Sabrina Flora said at a media briefing on Saturday.
Foreign nationals or Bangladesh returnees from abroad are being harassed, she said.
"Some overenthusiastic people are creating embarrassing situations. We were informed that house owners are not letting their tenants enter the houses. A Chinese national was not allowed to enter his rented house and had to spend the night in a hotel," she said.
Prof Meerjady Sabrina Flora, the director of IEDCR, briefs the media on Tuesday on the health condition of Bangladeshis evacuated from China amid the new coronavirus outbreak. Photo: Mahmud Zaman Ovi
If someone is really infected with the coronavirus, then keeping them outside will spread the disease furthermore, Flora said.
"We have said the China returnees should remain at home. We'll put the entire country at risk by not allowing them to enter their apartments. Now, if anyone has the symptoms of the disease, they'll conceal it fearing the social stigma." In Bangladesh, 77 people were checked for coronavirus infections but none of them tested positive, said the IEDCR director.

Air Force, Cignal open Spikers' Turf Finals series
Mark Escarlote on Jul 04, 2016 09:08 AM
Air Force and Cignal lock horns on Monday to begin their best-of-three title series.
Undefeated Cignal and Philippine Air Force open their best-of-three 2nd Spikers’ Turf Open Conference championship series on Monday at the PhilSports Arena in Pasig City.
The HD Spikers and Airmen clash in the scheduled 4:00 p.m. showdown looking to draw first blood before the league takes a long break.
The match will air live over ABS-CBN Sports+Action Channel 23, ABS-CBN Sports+Action HD Channel 166 and via livestream on sports.abs-cbn.com/livestream/spikersturf.
Cignal racked up seven straight victories including a four-set win over Air Force, 25-16, 25-19, 21-25, 25-16, last June 4 in their elims faceoff.
Top seed in the semis, the HD Spikers made quick work on Sta. Elena Construction sweeping the Wrecking Balls in the best-of-three tussle. Cignal clinched a spot in the elims with an emphatic 25-23, 25-16, 25-17, demolition of Sta. Elena Construction last Saturday.
Ysay Marasigan, who scored 15 points against Air Force in the elims, and Raymark Woo are again expected to lead the HD Spikers’ assault.
The former Ateneo de Manila captain Marasigan and De La Salle skipper Woo average 13.1 and 14.1 points, respectively, in Cignal’s seven games.
Coming off a series sweep against Instituto Estetico Manila, the Airmen are raring to march into battle and settle an unfinished business with the only team that blemished their record this conference.
Air Force finished off the pesky IEM side, 25-15, 25-21, 34-32, last Saturday to forge a Finals showdown with Cignal.
It will be a shootout between the two squads with former Emilio Aguinaldo star and reigning NCAA MVP Howard Mojica and National University’s Fauzi Ismail posing as the Airmen’s big guns.
Ismail averages 14.1 points per game while Mojica has a norm of 10.2 markers per outing.
Game 2 is on July 13.

Virtual reality has the magical power to transport you, at least visually, to new worlds. Peter Sassman of HapticSol is hoping to add another sense to that, by allowing you to smell what’s going on in VR.
I ran into Peter at Midwest RepRap Fest and had to know what this thing around his neck was. As it turns out, this is a product he’s been working on, called Cilia, to allow you to smell stuff happening in virtual worlds.
The device uses an array of tiny bottles of oil. When each item is triggered in the game engine, a tiny fan blows over a wick, directing the smells toward your nose.
The concept is interesting, as the immersion you would get out of an accurate smell system could be surprisingly high. Right now, the device is limited on the amount of oils you can load in it, so there may be some creative mixing of odors necessary. Add this to some other haptic devices, such as weight simulation, and you’re starting to really get a more full picture!

He smiled at his good fortune. For even a person who was extremely bitter, the taste of ice cream still felt sweet. It was rather funny really; all his life he hated little things. He hated their existence. He hated how he would always notice them only to be dubbed as “observant” in a group of people whose existence didn’t concern him. He had so much hatred filled inside of him that it had started to ooze out. It didn’t really matter to him if people called him a cynic or useless for he knew his words held power. He knew that even without the course of any action, his words retained their power for they were often well thought out and meticulous but there were times when he spoke without thought.
Oh how he regretted those simple words he used to utter in his folly. He always tried to justify to himself that people should had understood him better but somewhere deep down in the shattered remains of his heart, he knew it to be nothing more than a bleak lie. Perhaps that was why people hated him so much. No one really bothered enough to take a stand for him, heck they didn’t even bother when he wanted to take a stand because for them, he was nothing more than a source of entertainment. An entertainer of sorts that they thought they controlled; someone who dedicated a good part of his life to certain puppeteers only to be churned aside like a filthy, torn ragged doll.
People always jeered at him. Some did it because they felt insecure in his presence while others did it as means of testing his limits. No matter what their reason was, he never cared. For him, the whole concept of society was nothing more than a sham. A sham orchestrated by the most cynical of composers in perfect unison. He wanted to stand up and play his own tune but every time that he tried, he was booed down and forced to sit.
He sighed as he took a spoon of the frozen chocolate dessert into his mouth. His luck was finally changing or so it seemed. It was rather funny to him how people used to smite him down, filling him with more hatred and then asking “Why are you so bitter?” He often responded the only way he knew how to: sarcastically but in his heart he couldn’t help but feel sorry for the words that escaped the confines of the prison that was his mind. He wanted to say he didn’t care about anything but he knew that would be nothing more than a lie. A lie, something which everyone around him excessively told as it was a necessity to feel alive. Each day they lied about their emotions, their feelings towards one another with a smile while he suffocated for the truth. Perhaps he had smoked so much poison that now even the cure to his diseases sounded nothing more than a pure fallacy i.e. another poison.
He licked the spoon like a kid as he stared at the ice cream before him. He wanted nothing more to do with people or big things anymore, for they had brought him nothing but pure agony. Even the sweetest of the heavenly delights of this earth had turned out to be nothing more than a sweet poison. Whatever he had touched in the past had turned to dust but today it was different. When he least expected it, when he had given up all hope, when he stared in the face of power cuts ranging for hours at a time, somehow his melted bowl of ice cream had decided to freeze once again. He could see the sun rising through his open window, life was good and hopeful once again… nothing could hurt him anymore for he had a whole liter of chocolate chip ice cream.

A ketogenic diet for beginners Keto Avocado Lunch Recipes
A keto or ketogenic diet plan is a low-carb, moderate protein, higher-fat diet that can assist you burn fat better. It has lots of advantages for weight-loss, health, and performance, as displayed in over 50 studies.1 That’s why it’s advised by many medical professionals.
A keto diet plan can be specifically helpful for losing excess body fat without cravings and for type 2 diabetes.
Here, you’ll learn how to eat a keto diet plan based on real foods. Get going with our visual guides, dishes, meal strategies, and easy 2-week Get Started program. It’s everything you require to be successful on keto.
1. What is a keto diet plan?
The keto diet is a very low-carb, higher-fat diet. It’s similar in numerous ways to other low-carb diets.
While you consume far less carbs on a keto diet plan, you preserve moderate protein usage and may increase your consumption of fat. The decrease in carbohydrate intake puts your body in a metabolic state called ketosis, where fat, from your diet plan and from your body, is burned for energy.
What “keto” means.
A “keto” or “ketogenic” diet is so called due to the fact that it causes your body to produce little fuel particles called “ketones.” This is an alternative fuel source for your body that can be utilized when blood sugar (glucose) is in short supply.
When you eat very couple of carbs or extremely couple of calories, your liver produces ketones from fat. These ketones then serve as a fuel source throughout the body, especially for the brain.
The brain is a hungry organ that takes in great deals of energy every day, and it can’t run on fat directly. It can only operate on glucose– or ketones.7.
On a ketogenic diet, your whole body changes its fuel supply to run primarily on fat, burning fat 24-7. When insulin levels drop very low, weight loss can increase dramatically. It ends up being easier to access your fat stores to burn them off.
This is excellent if you’re trying to drop weight, however there can also be other benefits, such as less cravings and a constant supply of energy– without the sugar peaks and valleys that typically occur when consuming high-carb meals. This might assist keep you alert and focused.
When the body produces ketones, it gets in a metabolic state called ketosis. The fastest way to get there is by fasting– not eating anything– however nobody can regularly quickly forever.
A keto diet plan, on the other hand, likewise results in ketosis and can be eaten forever. It has a number of the advantages of fasting– consisting of weight reduction– without needing to fast long term.
Who should NOT do a ketogenic diet plan?
There are controversies and misconceptions about a keto diet plan, but for most people it seems very safe. However, three groups typically require unique consideration:.
- Do you take medication for diabetes, such as insulin?
- Do you take medication for hypertension?
- Do you breastfeed?
2. What to eat on a keto diet.
Here are normal foods to take pleasure in on a ketogenic diet. The numbers are net carbs per 100 grams (3.5 ounces) of food.13 To remain in ketosis, lower is usually much better:.
Keto diet foods: Natural fats (butter, olive oil); Meat; Fish and seafood; Eggs; Cheese; Vegetables that grow above ground.
What’s the most important thing to do to reach ketosis? Avoid eating a lot of carbohydrates. You’ll likely need to keep carbohydrate consumption under 50 grams of net carbs per day, ideally below 20 grams.14.
The fewer the carbs, the more effective the diet plan appears to be for reaching ketosis, reducing weight or improving type 2 diabetes.15.
Counting carbs can be handy at first. But if you adhere to our advised foods and recipes you can stay keto even without counting.
Try to avoid.
Here’s what you should avoid on a keto diet plan– foods consisting of a great deal of carbohydrates, both the sugary and the starchy kind. This consists of starchy foods like bread, pasta, rice and potatoes. These foods are really high in carbs.
Foods to avoid on a ketogenic diet plan: bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, fruit, beer, soda, juice, sweet.
The numbers are grams of net carbohydrates per 100 grams (3.5 ounces), unless otherwise kept in mind.16.
Likewise avoid or restrict extremely processed foods and rather follow our entire foods keto diet advice.
You must likewise avoid low-fat diet plan products. A keto diet plan must be reasonably high in protein and will probably be higher in fat, given that fat provides the energy you’re no longer receiving from carb. Low-fat items normally supply too many carbs and not enough protein and fat.17.
More specific recommendations on what to eat– and what not to consume.
What to drink.
Keto drinks: water, coffee, tea, dry wine.
What can you consume on a ketogenic diet plan? Water is the best drink, and coffee or tea are fine too. Ideally, utilize no sweeteners, particularly sugar.
A splash of milk or cream in your coffee or tea is OK, however beware that the carbs can accumulate if you consume multiple cups in a day (and definitely prevent caffe lattes!). The periodic glass of red wine is great too.
Check out our full guides to keto drinks and keto alcohol.
How low carb is a keto diet?
A keto diet is an extremely strict low-carb diet plan, including less than 20 grams of net carbs each day.
We suggest starting out by following the dietary advice as strictly as you can. When you enjoy with your weight and health, you could thoroughly attempt consuming a few more carbohydrates (if you want to). Find out more.

3. Keto benefits: Why eat a keto diet plan.
The advantages of a ketogenic diet plan resemble those of other low-carb and higher-fat diets, however it seems more effective than liberal low-carb diet plans.19 Think about keto as a super-charged, low-carb diet plan, taking full advantage of the benefits. Nevertheless, it may also increase the danger of negative effects a bit.
Turning your body into a fat-burning device can be useful for weight reduction. Fat burning is significantly increased, while insulin– the fat-storing hormonal agent– levels drop greatly. This appears to make it far easier for body fat loss to take place, without cravings.
More than 30 premium clinical research studies reveal that, compared to other diets, low-carb and keto diets result in more reliable weight loss.
On a keto diet you’re likely to acquire much better control of your appetite. It’s an extremely common experience for sensations of hunger to reduce drastically, and studies show it.23.
This usually makes it easy to eat less and lose excess weight– just wait till you’re starving prior to you eat.24 It also makes intermittent fasting easier, something that can boost efforts to reverse type 2 diabetes and accelerate weight loss, beyond the results of keto only.25.
Plus, you might conserve time and money by not needing to snack all the time. Many people only feel the need to consume twice a day on a keto diet (typically avoiding breakfast), and some simply eat once a day.26.
Not needing to combat sensations of appetite might also possibly aid with issues like sugar or food dependency.27 At last, feeling satisfied can be part of the service. Food can stop being an opponent and become your pal, or simply fuel– whatever you choose.
Low carb and diabetes reversalControl blood sugar and reverse type 2 diabetes.
Research studies prove that a ketogenic diet is excellent for managing type 2 diabetes, in some cases even causing complete turnaround of the illness.28 It makes perfect sense, because keto reduces blood-sugar levels, reduces the need for medications and minimizes the possibly unfavorable impact of high insulin levels.29.
Since a keto diet might reverse existing type 2 diabetes, it’s likely to be efficient at avoiding it, along with reversing pre-diabetes.30.
Keep in mind that the term “reversal” in this context just suggests that the illness improves, improving glucose control and lowering the requirement for medications. In the best case, it can be so much improved that blood sugar returns to typical without medication, long term. In this context, reversal means the opposite of the disease advancing or getting worse.

4. How to enter ketosis on a keto diet.
Here are the seven most important things to increase your level of ketosis, ranked from many to least important:.
Limit carbs to 20 digestible grams daily or less— a rigorous low-carb or keto diet. Fiber does not have to be restricted, it might even be useful for ketosis.50.
Often, just limiting carbohydrates to extremely low levels results in ketosis. So this may be all you need to do. But the remainder of the list below will assist make sure that you succeed.
Consume enough fat to feel pleased. A keto low-carb diet is normally a higher-fat diet plan, since fat supplies the energy that you are no longer getting from carbs.51 This is the huge distinction between a keto diet plan and starvation, which also results in ketosis. A keto diet plan is sustainable while starvation is not.52.
If you feel as if you’re starving, you’re most likely to feel tired and wish to give up your diet plan. However a ketogenic diet plan needs to help you prevent getting too hungry, making it sustainable and perhaps making you feel excellent.53.
So eat adequate protein foods and low-carb veggies, with enough added fat to feel satisfied. If you’re hungry all the time, check that you are getting sufficient quantities of protein at most meals and, if so, add more fat to your meals (like more butter, more olive oil, or some delicious sauces).
Our keto recipes have plenty of fat consisted of, but you can adjust up or down, according to your own needs.
Keep a moderate protein intake. A keto diet is not implied to be a very-high-protein diet plan. We advise 1.2 to 1.7 grams of protein per kg of reference body weight each day.54 This indicates about 100 grams of protein per day if your lean body mass weight is around 70 kilos (155 pounds). Check out our target protein ranges to discover just how much protein you should be going for each day.
Regardless of concerns that people on keto diets eat “excessive” protein, this does not seem to be the case for many people. Because it is very filling, most people find it tough to overindulge protein.55.
Although amino acids from protein foods can be converted to glucose, under speculative conditions, just a little portion actually are.56 This may be connected to specific aspects, such as degree of insulin resistance.57 Nevertheless, even people with type 2 diabetes generally succeed with the sufficient levels of protein Diet Medical professional suggests, if their diet plans are also low carbohydrate.58.
At the same time, insufficient protein consumption over extended time periods is a serious issue. It can lead to loss of muscle and bone, particularly as you age.
Avoid snacking when not hungry. Consuming more often than you require, simply consuming for fun, or consuming due to the fact that there’s food around, lowers ketosis and decreases weight loss.59 Though utilizing keto treats may lessen the damage when you’re starving between meals, attempt to change your meals so that snacks end up being unneeded.
If necessary, include periodic fasting. For example, skip breakfast and only consume during 8 hours of the day, fasting for 16 hours (i.e. 16:8 fasting). This is effective at increasing ketone levels, along with accelerating weight-loss and improving insulin resistance.60 It’s also generally easy to do on keto.
Add workout. Including any kind of physical activity while on low carb can increase ketone levels reasonably.61 It can likewise assist speed up weight-loss and enhance type 2 diabetes.62 Exercise is not necessary to get into ketosis, however it may be handy.
Sleep enough and lessen stress. Most people benefit from a minimum of 7 hours of sleep per night, usually. And try to keep stress under control. Sleep deprivation and stress hormonal agents raise blood sugar level levels, slowing ketosis and weight-loss.63 Plus they may make it harder to adhere to a keto diet and withstand temptations.64 So while handling sleep and stress will not get you into ketosis by themselves, they are still worth thinking of.
Keto supplements are not required. Note what’s not on the list above: you do not require pricey supplements, like exogenous ketones or MCT oil (medium-chain triglycerides). These supplements will likely not assist you drop weight or reverse illness. A minimum of there’s no proof for that.65 Learn more in our ketosis guide.

The global skincare devices market is estimated to generate a revenue of $7,787.4 million in 2017, and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 11.2% during the forecast period. The skincare devices market size will be led by skin treatment devices as the treatment of skin problems require the use of different types of devices, whereas the diagnosis of many skin diseases is possible through visual inspection also, i.e., without the use of a device. Also, many skincare treatment devices such as liposuction and cryotherapy devices, come at a very high cost and have aesthetic applications such as enhancement of skin and body appearance.
GLOBAL SKINCARE DEVICES MARKET, BY APPLICATION, $M (2013–2023)
Among all applications, skincare devices are mostly used for cellulite reduction. However, skin tightening and body contouring services are seeing a boom due to the increasing prevalence of obesity and growing number of people undergoing liposuction, who require skin tightening for avoiding the problem of loose skin. Thus, skin tightening and body contouring devices are expected to witness the fastest growth in demand at a CAGR of 12.5%, in the skincare devices market during the forecast period.
Geographically, North America led the global skincare devices market with an estimated share of 35.8% in 2017. This leading position of the region is driven by high expenditure on healthcare, greater awareness with regards to skin problems and its treatments, high per capita income leading to affordability of skincare devices, and health coverage for skin cancer through Medicare and Medicaid in the U.S.
Skincare Devices Market Dynamics
The increase in medical spa treatments and increasing use of home-use skincare devices are some of the leading trends that have been observed in the global skincare devices market. The market for home-use skincare devices has steadily grown around the world, especially in Asia-Pacific. Home-use devices often treat conditions at the skin surface, such as wrinkles, scars, pigmentation, and the treatment can be done on most parts of the body.
Some of the most popular therapies of this type include laser and LED devices to treat blemishes, wrinkles, rosacea, hair removal, and other cosmetic conditions; and radio frequency and sonic brushes that clean pores and stimulate circulation to reduce the frequency of breakouts.
Some of the major factors contributing to the growth of the skincare devices market include increasing prevalence of skin cancer and skin related disorders, increase in disposable income, growing appearance consciousness among people, and technological advancements in skincare devices.
The prevalence of various skin disorders such as melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer is increasing due to excessive exposure of general population to ultraviolet radiation and continuously rising environmental pollution. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 132,000 cases of melanoma and between 2-3 million cases of non-melanoma skin cancer occur every year, globally. As per the statistics reported by the Skin Cancer Foundation, it is likely that one in every five Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime. Some of the other most common skin diseases are acne, eczema, seborrheic dermatitis, and psoriasis.
Technological improvements in skincare devices and treatments ultimately help in the enhancement of human skin features. These technologically advanced devices can more effectively treat fine lines, wrinkles, sun spots, and cellulite to enhance skin appearance. Some of the advantages of these devices include non-invasiveness, and workability on energy-based solutions. Due to these advantages, the adoption of such devices in hospitals and clinics to treat wrinkles and stretch marks has increased. The skincare devices market is seeing many technological advancements. For instance, in February 2017, Clarisonic, Inc. launched a skincare product, the Smart Profile Uplift, to uplift 15 signs of aging on the face, neck, and décolleté.
The increase in medical spas in emerging countries and increasing medical tourism present growth opportunities for the skincare devices market. Medical tourism is among the major factors contributing to the growth of the skincare devices market in developing countries such as India, South Africa, Thailand, and Mexico. Tourism Research Australia reported that more than 10,000 medical tourists flew into Australia in 2013, pumping more than $26 million into its national economy. Mexico’s Secretary of Tourism reported that almost 12 million international visitors arrived in Mexico in 2013 and 6.5 million of the visitors were from the U.S.
Skincare Devices Market Competitive Landscape
The key players in the skincare devices market are partnering with the companies offering skincare products, to strengthen their product portfolio and increase their market share.

The collaboration is aimed at expanding skin care solutions for individuals who seek daily skin care products which can be used with traditional facial injectable aesthetic treatments.
In March 2016, Syneron Medical Ltd. collaborated with Allergan plc to offer three of Syneron Candela’s body sculpting and skincare platforms to the members of Allergan's healthcare provider loyalty program, Allergan Partner Privileges. The partnership is aimed to bring together the two aesthetic product portfolios to provide physicians and patients access to some of the most in-demand treatments, including body contouring and skin treatments.

By Dr. Marciene Mattleman
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – College retention rates have always been lower than one should expect and there’s much talk recently about the value of a college degree. Having fewer financial resources and poor job prospects for the past few years, many have questioned completing school.
Still, the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center, tracking students of any age entering college for the first time in 2007 and earning degrees or certificates within 6 years, suggests the numbers remain unchanged. The students were followed even if they transferred to another college, sector or state.
Only 22% of part-timers earned credentials, and 4-year private colleges had the highest completion rates, as you might expect.
Working students, parents and others who could attend part time only were the least likely to graduate in six years. More than 10% of students are women.
While there are many reasons why college students stop, drop out or transfer but it’s important to consider data when selecting a school.
