Splatoon 3 builds on a successful formula with some new features, weapons, maps and modes, but doesn't stray too far from what made the previous games so fun and interesting. With Splatoon 3 being the first new Splatoon game in five years, the franchise follows the lead of other shooter franchises by making only minor tweaks to its gameplay and experiences, mostly through the addition of a few new weapons and maps and by addressing some user experience complaints fans had about Splatoon 2. As players progress through Splatoon 3, it's clear that the game is simply bigger and better than its predecessor with more for players to enjoy without feeling too overwhelming.
The Splatoon franchise is something of a paradox, a "family-friendly" shooter that doesn't want to glorify violence. Its solution was to focus its multiplayer mode on area control with teams trying to cover a map with their color ink in a short period of time. Because of its primary demographic, the franchise has always needed to have a more robust single-player mode as well in order to meet the needs of its players who are too young (or whose parents don't allow them) to play online. In some ways, Splatoon games have always felt like two distinct games built around the same underlying engine – the multiplayer mode is for quick, team-based, free-for-all splatter action, while the single-player mode focuses more on solving puzzles that use all the game's ink-based features in interesting ways. Splatoon 2 pulled this off to some extent, although I always enjoyed the multiplayer mode much more than the single-player mode, which almost felt like a glorified multi-hour tutorial.
At first glance, Splatoon 3 looks and feels almost identical to Splatoon 2, but with a fresh coat of paint ...or, I guess in this case, ink. Splatoon 3 still offers players distinct and separate single-player and multiplayer experiences. There are three different multiplayer modes: the standard Turf War in which two teams of four compete for three minutes to cover as much of the map with their color of ink as they can, the Salmon Run in which players try to defeat waves of enemies while collecting Golden Eggs, and a new Anarchy Battle mode which replaces Ranked Battles from Splatoon 2. Meanwhile, the single-player campaign starts to peel back the curtain on the post-apocalyptic world Splatoon is based in with players unraveling a new mystery in the strange land of Alterna.
Compared to its predecessor, there are a few immediate improvements that Splatoon 3 made that make the game much more enjoyable from the onset. For one, it's much easier to swap out weapons in the Turf Wars and Anarchy Battles lobbies, so players can make adjustment in between matches instead of having to leave the lobby entirely. This allowed me to swap out the long-ranged Tri-Stringer weapon when I realized it wasn't suited for a specific map without having to leave the matchmaking queue entirely. Also, Salmon Runs are now a permanent part of Splatoon 3 and are available to players at all hours instead of during specific times/days. As someone who is much better at the cooperative Salmon Runs than the team-based battles, I appreciated that I no longer had to clear my real-life schedule to play a preferred game mode. All in all, these changes are small but welcome and make the overall Splatoon experience better.
Splatoon 3's single-player mode has also received an upgrade with more to do and find during the course of the campaign. Players can complete individual levels using their Hero Gear or with two alternative weapons with more upgrades and collectibles to find over the course of a pretty extensive campaign. Players can attempt each mission with a number of pre-selected weapons including the player's default (and upgradable) Hero Gear. The different weapons add new wrinkles to each challenge, and most of the missions go by pretty quickly. While Splatoon 3's single-player mode still has the strange emptiness as its predecessor with wide open and mostly bland platform settings to explore, the campaign is much more engaging and held my interest for much longer.
Other additions to Splatoon 3 include two new weapons – the bow-like Tri-Stringer and the Splatana, a melee-focused weapon. Both are built around finesse and timing your attacks – charging the Tri-Stringer allows you to shoot small darts that explode after a minute, while charging the Splatana allows you to unleash a devastating forward attack that eliminates most opponents with one hit. Because of the fast and frantic nature of most multiplayer modes, these are weapons geared towards for veteran players instead of newcomers or casual players. Still, the weapons add another level of strategy on top of the already varied map styles and game modes.
Shooters have never been my preferred genre, but I've always enjoyed the Splatoon games. While the games have their limitations (the lack of an in-game chat feature has always been frustrating), I always thought that the bar to enjoying these games were much lower than standard shooters, if only because the primary objective is never to "splat" enemies. Luckily, Nintendo didn't switch up its already successful Splatoon formula for Splatoon 3. The game feels bigger than its predecessors, but most of the major changes are meant to improve players' quality of life in game. While some might feel frustrated by the seeming lack of innovation in Splatoon 3, I found that the game understands what works with Splatoon and keeps with it, making only modest changes to make an already fun experience even better.
Rating: 4 out of 5
Splatoon 3 is set to release on September 29, 2022, for Nintendo Switch. An advance copy of the game was provided by Nintendo for the purpose of this review.0comments

Star Wars theories can be pretty wild sometimes, with one of the most popular (and stupid) ones being Darth Jar Jar. This suggests that Jar Jar Binks is secretly a Sith Lord and has been playing the Republic for all these years, which is ridiculous since he doesn't even get a line in Revenge of the Sith. However, as ridiculous as it was, the theory did intrigue Jar Jar Binks actor Ahmed Best, who said that the theories got him excited to play Jar Jar again.
Many know that Best has gone through a lot of abuse from fans because Jar Jar Binks was considered such an annoying character back in the day. While he can be an earful and often distracts from some of the action in The Phantom Menace, many can agree that the character was made for kids and the hate for him was way too much. During an interview with Jamie Stangroom, he reveals how the Darth Jar Jar theory gives fans something meaningful to dissect, which is always fun.
"Like I've said before, there were some things I did that were picked up on, and it's quite fun, that idea, to think of that. And it goes along with the piece that's missing, which is the mythology piece — the thing that I think Star Wars is missing. The faith piece, the thing to believe in. That's always been layered, that's always been deep, it's never been just this surface thing. It's never been lightsaber fights, it's always been a lot more than that. When Darth Jar Jar came out, it came out from someone who's looking for more meaning."
While it doesn't excuse the behavior Best has received from Star Wars fans, we do like how he accepts those fan theories are a part of this franchise and how it gives people more to explore and possibly even enjoy. There are a lot of people who don't have time for fan theories, especially one as ridiculous as Darth Jar Jar, but it's nice to see Best be more patient and accepting of them.
Star Wars: The Phantom Menace is now available on Disney+ and digital stores everywhere.

Modified Ford Ranger Conquers Everything in Its Path
A lot of folks are (rightfully) concerned about the forthcoming Ford Ranger, which is a completely different animal in global spec than the Ranger we knew and loved here at home. But maybe we shouldn’t be too worried? After all, watching this modified Ford Ranger conquer the harshest conditions western Australia has to offer should put our minds to rest.
This particular Ranger is a 2013 model equipped with the PX trim, and with the turbocharged 3.2 liter, 5 cylinder diesel engine under the hood. It has all the typical off-road goodies us Americans employ on our rides, such as beefy bumpers, oversized skidplates, LED lighting, and a snorkel. A 2″ suspension, 1″ body lift, and some rather “meaty” 33 inch tires wrap up the mighty build. Dreamy, no?
In case you were skeptical about our friends down under, it’s clear by watching this video that the owner of this modified Ford Ranger is extremely passionate about his truck, and off-roading in general. According to the description, the owner custom fabricated his own running boards instead of buying a set off the shelf.
So, maybe we shouldn’t be too terribly worried about getting a “soft” version of the Ranger here in the States. Our friends across the globe have done quite well with the latest iteration of Ford’s midsize pickup, and there is clearly a robust aftermarket already in place.

The WHW wrap is just about done. And as soon as I find my stupid camera charger I will take pictures for you all to drool over. ;)
Last night I got lucky. I hit new posts on Mothering and saw someone wanted to sell some yarn. I clicked in to see what the yarn was and fell in love. It was organic. It was Mosaic Moon (I've been wanting to try their yarn). And it was in colors that I love and search out often. The mama selling it didn't have anyone showing interest so I sent her a message to see if she would do a trade. She said yes! I'm making her some toys for her daughter (who is the same age as S!). The yarn is fabulous! Here is proof:
When I posted asking about short circs there were a couple women who had had a pair or two at one time. Unfortunately they had either sold them or could not locate them. Tonight I got a pm. It was a lady asking for my address...she had something for me. I sent her my address and asked what it was. She had found a pair of the circs she thought she had sold!!! So she is going to send them to me. AND they are in the size I need for socks for DH.
I cannot wait for the mail this week. I am getting some fibery goodness!

A pair of National League teams trying to stay in the wild card race continue a series out in the city by the bay. The Pittsburgh Pirates play the second game of a four game series against the San Francisco Giants Friday night. Pittsburgh won the rubber game of their three game set on the road against the Rockies, prevailing 4-3 Wednesday. San Francisco was swept in a two game interleague set at home by Houston, falling 2-1 in the finale Tuesday. The pitching matchup for Thursday’s series opener saw Ivan Nova take the mound for Pittsburgh: he faced off with San Francisco’s Andrew Suarez. First pitch in the contest was scheduled for 10:15 pm ET.
Pittsburgh Pirates Fighting in NL Wild Card Picture
Pittsburgh took two of three on the road over Colorado as they won the rubber game of the set. The Pirates improved to 59-56 on the season: they entered Thursday 7.5 games behind the Cubs and five games behind Atlanta for the second wild card. Adam Frazier had three hits for Pittsburgh while Colin Moran (run, RBI) and Corey Dickerson (RBI) each had two hits in the win. Chris Archer (1-0) picked up the win for the Pirates in his second start for the team: he allowed two runs on five hits with two walks and three strikeouts over five innings. Felipe Vazquez threw 1.1 scoreless frames to record his 26th save of the season.
Trevor Williams takes the ball for his 23rd start of the season for the Pirates in this contest. He is 9-8 with a 3.88 ERA, a 1.267 WHIP, 40 walks and 80 strikeouts over 116 innings of work this season. Williams took the loss in his last start, which came at home against St. Louis Sunday. He threw five innings, allowing two runs on nine hits with no walks and three strikeouts in a 2-1 Pirates defeat. Williams is 2-1 with a 1.06 ERA, a 1.35 WHIP, five walks and nine strikeouts over 17 innings in his last three starts. He makes his third career start against the Giants in this contest: he has no record with a 2.25 ERA, a 1.00 WHIP, four walks and five strikeouts over 12 innings of action. Williams didn’t factor in the decision in his lone outing at AT&T Park, which came on July 2, 2017: he allowed two runs on three hits with a walk and three strikeouts over six innings in an eventual 5-3 Pirates loss.
San Francisco Giants Battling Through Injuries
San Francisco dropped both games at home against the Astros in low scoring affairs as the bullpen couldn’t get it done. The Giants fell to 57-58 on the season, entering Thursday 6.5 games behind Arizona in the NL West and seven games behind the Braves for the second wild card spot. San Francisco had only four hits in the game with Brandon Crawford scoring the lone run on a RBI single by Chase d’Arnaud in the second inning. Madison Bumgarner pitched brilliantly while recording a no-decision: he threw seven scoreless innings, allowing five hits with three walks and seven strikeouts. Ray Black (1-1) took the loss as he allowed two runs on three hits with two strikeouts in his one inning of action.
Derek Holland is on the mound for his 26th appearance and 22nd start of the season for the Giants in this contest. He is 5-8 with a 3.88 ERA, a 1.251 WHIP, 43 walks and 120 strikeouts over 118.1 innings of work this season. Holland didn’t factor in the decision in his last start, which came Sunday on the road against Arizona. He threw 5.1 innings, allowing two runs on three hits with two walks and six strikeouts in a 3-2 San Francisco victory. Holland has no record, a 2.76 ERA, a 0.92 WHIP, five walks and 15 strikeouts over 16.1 innings in his last three starts. He earned the win in his only career start against the Pirates, which came on the road earlier this year on May 13: he threw 6.1 scoreless innings, allowing four hits with five walks and seven strikeouts in a 5-0 Giants win. Holland is 2-3 with a 3.65 ERA, a 1.076 WHIP, 14 walks and 63 strikeouts over 56.2 innings in 12 career appearances, nine starts, at AT&T Park.
- Giants are 5-1 in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a losing road record
- Giants are 16-6 in their last 22 home games vs. a right-handed starter
- Pirates are 2-5 in Williams’ last 7 road starts vs. a team with a losing record
- Pirates are 2-6 in Williams’ last 8 Friday starts
- Pirates are 1-5 in Williams’ last 6 starts vs. National League West
The Bottom Line What to bet on this game.
Full-Game Side Bet
Both teams are hanging in on the fringes of the wild card race but they need to start picking up some wins. Both teams are fourth in their respective divisions coming into this contest and have some work to do to make up ground in the playoff picture. Williams has pitched well this season but the Pirates were just 26-27 on the road entering Thursday’s opener. The Pirates have 29 of their last 47 games on the road, which is a tough task for them. San Francisco has been good at home and they get the upper hand in this one as they try to gain ground in the playoff picture.
Prediction: Pick: San Francisco Giants -125
Full-Game Total Pick
The Giants were involved in a pair of extremely low scoring games against Houston though that can be attributed to two things: the depth of the Houston pitching staff and the fact that the Astros were minus Carlos Correa, Jose Altuve and George Springer. Pittsburgh had a decent showing on the road against the Rockies and now has to deal with the Giants. Both starting pitchers have been on a bit of a roll of late but can they maintain that momentum in this contest?
The over is 5-0-1 in the Pirates’ last 6 Friday games, 4-0-1 in their last 5 during game 2 of a series, 4-1-1 in their last 6 games vs. a left-handed starter and 4-1 in Williams’ last five starts. San Francisco has seen the over go 4-1 in Giants last 5 vs. National League Central foes, 4-1 in their last 5 games vs. a right-handed starter and 4-1-1 in Holland’s last 6 starts with 4 days of rest. The teams have combined to see the over go 6-1-3 in their last 10 meetings in San Francisco: look for this one to go over the total as well.
Prediction: Over 8
Full-Game Prop Bet
McCutchen has been swinging a better bat of late: after hitting just .227 in July, he’s gone seven for 26 in the month of August. He’s looking to show that his former team made a mistake in dealing him in the offseason, something he’s failed to do so far as he’s hit just .222 (four for 18) with six strikeouts, though he has doubled three times. This might be a good chance for him to put together a decent game with it not being a normal Pirates’ starter on the hill.
Prediction: Andrew McCutchen Total Hits+Runs+RBIs Over 2 -120
First Five Innings Side Pick
Pittsburgh flipped their starting pitchers for this one as Clay Holmes gets the nod instead of Trevor Williams, who was pushed back to Saturday. The Pirates are trying to hang in the playoff race but they have an uphill climb, as do the Giants. Both teams have been inconsistent this season and with Holmes, who has appeared in four games and started two this season, on the mound in an effort to give the Pirates’ rotation more rest, you have to wonder if they’re impacting their chances. San Francisco has no familiarity with Holmes but they should be able to get the edge halfway home.
Prediction: San Francisco Giants -125
First Five Innings Total Bet
The Pirates won the opening game of the set 10-5 but most of the offense came later in the contest. Pittsburgh held a 3-0 edge after the second inning and the score was just 3-2 after five frames. The Pirates went on to tally five in the seventh and two in the eighth while the Giants plated three in the last of the ninth. With that said, Holmes is an unproven commodity and Holland is a streaky kind of guy. This one could easily end up over the 4.5 mark.
Prediction: Over 4.5 -110
First Five Innings Prop Prediction
Both teams are up and down when it comes to putting runs on the board early in contests. Pittsburgh has tallied only 60 first inning runs this season while the Giants have been even worse in that department, scoring 53 times in the opening frame. Holland has a 4.29 ERA and a .239 batting average against in the opening inning this season. This one could go either way but it seems a safe bet that this one goes to the second inning scoreless.
Prediction: No to Will There Be a Score in the First Inning -125

One doctor at Augusta University has received a huge grant to develop a potentially revolutionary drug for the treatment of diabetic retinopathy. Dr. Shruti Sharma, who works at the university's Center for Biotechnology and Genomic Medicine, has received £1.2 million from the National Eye Institute to perfect her research on this drug.
Diabetic retinopathy is a complication from diabetes that affects the blood vessels in the eyes' retina. If left untreated for too long, this disease could lead to total blindness. Early symptoms of diabetic retinopathy include blurry vision, dark spots, and inability to distinguish colors.
Sharma wants her drug to inhibit inflammation within the retina's light sensitive epithelial cells. In particular, Sharma is looking into interleukin-6, an agent known to cause inflammation with these cells. Interestingly, epithelial cells don't have receptors designed to interact with interleukin-6, but doctors have observed that these two chemicals do affect one another.
Although doctors have known about this "trans-signaling" process between the interleukin-6 and retinae cells for awhile now, Dr. Sharma told reporters that no researcher has made it a central part of their study. Sharma's work has been dedicated to inventing a drug that will disrupt this "trans-signaling" process.
Sharma began her testing of this drug on human cells in a lab setting, and then she tested the drug on mice with diabetes. Sharma wanted to test her drug on a wide range of mice, so some of the mice had early-stage diabetes and others had late-stage diabetes.
Rather than cure diabetic retinopathy, Dr. Sharma wants to prevent it from happening in the first place. She is also hopeful that this drug can help people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and is now conducting a human clinical trial with RA patients.
Another interesting fact about this drug is that it has been in the works for quite some time. Sharma told reporters she was doubly excited about these trials because she is now re-purposing this drug.
While this drug is showing positive results in the lab, Sharma is still advising all diabetic patients to get regular eye screenings. With all the research coming out about diabetic retinopathy, primary care doctors should always tell diabetic patients to visit a certified ophthalmologist for an eye screening annually.
Visual symptoms of diabetic retinopathy only occur when the disease has advanced a great deal. This makes it even more important for diabetics to get checked early and often by a trained eye care professional.


After yesterday's smashing success around Santa Maria it was time to head home. I did have three stops planned to look for more birds. The weather forecast was for light but favorable winds which was a relief. I got started just before sunrise and made good progress, arriving at Zaca Station Road in the Santa Ynez Valley around 830.
I had good advice that this would be a fine place to find Lewis's Woodpecker. I am hoping to get back out to the Santa Ynez Valley but as I was passing right by why not look for this bird now? I searched for about 45 minutes before spotting one of these beauties. These large dark woodpeckers with the pink breasts can often be found flycatching off the tops of trees, as this one was this morning. I even managed a couple of distant photos. Lewis's Woodpecker joins the year's list at #277!
My next stop was a revisit to Gaviota State Park, hoping to find a Swamp Sparrow. By now the day was quite warm and the level of bird activity at the park was low. I saw few sparrows at all, none of them of the Swamp variety.
I continued down the coast enjoying the warm calm weather and excellent views of the ocean and Channel Islands. The riding was much more pleasant than the grind up to Santa Maria. My final stop was at the old Ocean Meadows Golf Course in Goleta, where the Grace's Warbler has returned for the winter. In fact it had been spotted there again this morning.
I decided to spend up to 45 minutes searching for this bird that has vexed me so many times this year. Well, 45 minutes came and went. I took some time to change a flat tire under some promising looking pine trees but the bird did not appear. A merlin hanging around the area was not helpful either. After a couple of "one last time" checks I departed after an hour and a half without a sighting of my nemesis bird. OK Mr Grace's Warbler - I'll be back!
The remainder of the ride was pleasant and uneventful. I was so grateful to be not fighting a headwind all day!
After the addition of this 1 species, the year's total stands at 277
The Score: Vermont 266, Green Big Year 277
Today I rode a total of 83.7 miles


Welcome to the MoshPod.
The three of us are long-time friends; we have an eclectic range of interests, anything meaty or controversial, anything that gives new insight into people and what makes us tick, or the world around us and how we relate to it.
We completely dig podcasts. New web media can find an audience anywhere so it doesn’t need to stick to the lowest common denominator formula that traditional media uses to find its largest market. The vast content of good quality commentary, interviews and storytelling that’s being pumped out via podcasts every week is truly phenomenal.
Herein lays our problem. We want to throw our hats in the ring but where to start? There are already at least 10 poor clones for every decent pod, and if there’s one thing we are acutely aware of, it’s our limitations. It’s our first effort so rather than adding to the poor clone pool, we’ve decided to go with this pirate podcast approach. Most of the pods we use have great production values and a large staff working to make it so, it just seems to makes more sense to “borrow” from the big boys, rather than trying to compete at their level.
We will NEVER pass off other people’s hard work for our own. Every pod we use is fully referenced in the show and links will always be in the show notes. We emphatically encourage our listeners to go and check out the original shows if you like what you hear, you’ll find loads more great content one click away. To put a minimising spin on it, we are really just a podcast review show that conveniently gives you the podcasts and the reviews in one file so you don’t need to download both. We hope we can add to the audience of the great shows we use.

This is a crazy week. Not only are we finding ourselves flipping between the E3 2016 gaming convention and Apple’s own developer conference (WWDC), Apple has separately decided to surprise us all with a much-requested, long-needed update: a sparkly new file system for iOS, OS X, tvOS, and WatchOS. It’s simply called Apple File System, or APFS, and it’s optimized for SSDs and flash-based storage solutions that are used in MacBooks, iPads, iPhones, AppleTV set-top boxes, and so on.
Apple describes APFS as a modern file system. According to a guide Apple provides here, APFS includes “strong encryption, copy-on-write metadata, space sharing, cloning for files and directories, snapshots, fast directory sizing, atomic safe-save primitives, and improved file system fundamentals.“ It supports “nearly” all of the features of the older HFS+ file system while offering improvements over the previous system in the process.
WWDC 2016: Apple wants iOS to be the first language your child learns
Apple’s original Hierarchical File System (HFS) is more than 30 years old, launched way back in 1985 and followed up by the currently-used HFS+ file system in 1998. These were created when customers still depended on floppy disks and hard drives with spinning platters that had storage capacities ranging from kilobytes to megabytes. And although the hard drives of today offer terabytes of storage capacity, flash-based solid state drives are becoming more mainstream as their prices become more affordable. They’re faster and more reliable too, making them ideal storage candidates for OEMs.
That said, Apple seemingly set out to not only provide a modern file system that natively supports flash-based storage, but to create a more secure file system in the process. “There is now also a greater importance placed on keeping sensitive information secure and safe from prying eyes,” the company says, seemingly pointing to the fiasco it endured with the FBI and the iPhone used by the San Bernardino shooter back in December.
On a technical level, Apple explains that the base storage unit used by APFS is called a container. “It generally maps 1:1 to GUID Partition Table (GPT) entries, and manages its own space allocations and crash protection scheme. Each container exports one or more volumes, or file systems, each of which have their own namespaces, or sets of files and directories,” Apple explains.
Apple points out that APFS does not directly implement software RAID. Instead, APFS can be used with an Apple RAID volume to support RAID 0, RAID 1, and JBOD. Direct-attached hardware RAID solutions can be used with the new APFS file system too.
The guide shows that APFS supports 64-bit inode numbers, essentially meaning that the information associated with a stored file is now larger. AFPS also supports one nanosecond timestamp granularity, supports sparse files, provides an expansive block allocator, and has built-in crash protection so that updates don’t cause serious issues. APFS supports TRIM operations too, just as HFS+ does, which are issued asynchronously once space is reclaimed or files are deleted.
On the security front, APFS combines the Full Disk Encryption feature that was made available in OS X along with the individual file encryption feature introduced in iOS 4. Thus, according to Apple, customers can choose from a number of encryption models for each volume in a container: no encryption, single-key encryption, or multi-key encryption that relies on per-file keys for file data and a separate key for sensitive metadata. Apple’s encryption method, AES-XTS or AES-CBC, depends on the actual device.
Finally, Apple says that volumes formatted with APFS cannot be read on OS X 10.11 “Yosemite” or earlier. However, these volumes can be shared using the SMB network file sharing protocol. Developers will need to update their existing utilities if they want their programs and applications to support the new file system.
Apple’s APFS file system is now available as a Developer Preview in OS X 10.12. The company plans to roll out its new file storage technology sometime in 2017.

What Are The Effects Of Eating Junk Food For Kids?
Kids should eat healthy, nutritious food to have a better future. Junk food harms a child’s health because of its lack of nutrients and high-calorie content. Most children are influenced by family members and friends who show them they should not eat healthy foods such as vegetables, fruits, and whole grain bread. Instead, they should eat unhealthy foods like fast food, potato chips, and soda.
Children are very impressionable, and most have no idea what is in the food that they are eating. So, what are the effects of eating junk food for kids? Here are some of the effects of eating junk food for kids:
Obesity is a health condition in which a person’s body weight is very high. The primary cause of this condition is a diet high in calories and poor in fiber and other nutrients.
Junk food is full of calories and has little fiber. Because of this, kids who eat junk food are likely to become obese. The calories are converted into fat, which is stored in the body. This makes the person look fat.
This condition can be dangerous to a person’s health, mainly if it occurs in childhood and lasts into adulthood.
The main symptoms of obesity include shortness of breath, back pain, depression, and heart disease. It is estimated that over one billion people across the world are obese.
2. Poor growth and development
Eating a diet high in energy and low in nutrients causes a deficiency in the micronutrients necessary for effective growth.
Micronutrients are vitamins and minerals. These micronutrients help build strong bones, muscles, and organs while aiding in cell repair and regeneration.
Kids who eat a high-fat, high-sugar diet may have abnormal bone growth, stunted growth, and decreased muscle mass. Lower physical development can lead to learning disorders, social isolation, and low self-esteem.
Studies have shown that children who eat a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains have better growth and development than those who eat junk food.
3. Digestion Complications
Digestion is the process by which food is broken down in the body. Eating a diet high in junk food causes digestion to slow down, causing stomach problems and indigestion. These problems can affect a child’s ability to absorb nutrients from food. Another problem is constipation.
4. Dental Problems
Junk food causes tooth decay and cavities. Tooth decay is a dental health condition in which a tooth’s enamel is broken down and replaced with bacteria, causing an infection in the tooth’s pulp.
Cavities are holes that form when not properly cleaned and filled. This disease is painful and annoying. Some foods containing high amounts of sugar are soft drinks, sweets, and candy bars.
5. Type 2 diabetes
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention lists foods that raise the risk of diabetes. The same list includes fast food such as burgers, fries, and pizza.
This can be dangerous if not appropriately managed by following a healthy diet. Diabetes is a chronic medical condition in which the pancreas does not produce enough insulin. It is a severe disease that can cause significant damage to the heart, kidneys, and blood vessels.
This disease can lead to blindness, amputation, and even death for children.
6. Heart Complications
Eating high-fat foods increases the risk of heart disease. Heart disease is when the heart does not pump enough blood. This condition causes fluid buildup, making it difficult for the heart to work and sometimes leading to death.
The symptoms of heart disease vary from person to person, but they usually develop when the condition is severe and can potentially lead to death. Symptoms of heart disease include shortness of breath, chest pain, and dizziness. The early symptoms appear due to heart failure.
7. High Blood Pressure
High blood pressure is a medical condition in which the blood moves through the arteries at extreme speed and pressure. This puts much stress on the organs and can cause fatal health problems such as strokes, heart attacks, and kidney failure.
Kids who eat processed foods are at high risk of high blood pressure because they contain large amounts of salt, sugars, and fats that are not good for their health.
The CDC recommends that people consume less than 1500 mg of salt daily. Overeating salt causes the body to store more water, which increases blood pressure.
Reducing the amount of salt in one’s diet can cause blood pressure to lower and become healthier.
8. High Cholesterol
Cholesterol is made by the liver and helps produce vitamin D, testosterone, and bile acids.
Cholesterol is vital for growth and development. However, when it is found outside of the cells, it can cause problems.
High cholesterol causes fat to build up around the walls of blood vessels, increasing the risk of heart disease. Too much fat within blood vessels also raises blood pressure and puts extra strain on the heart.
The dietary changes that need to be made include reducing fat intake and increasing the intake of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
9. Kidney Problems
Kidneys play a vital role in the functioning of the body.
In kids, the kidneys are responsible for filtering the blood and removing waste products. Kidney problems caused by junk food are a leading cause of death for children, who die as early as seven years old.
The first symptoms of kidney problems include light-headedness, fatigue, and bloating but can quickly progress to sepsis, an infection of the blood. If a child has this condition, they may need immediate medical treatment to save their life.
The first symptoms of kidney disease include fatigue, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.
10. Poor Sleep Quality
Eating a high-fat diet can lead to insomnia, a condition in which one cannot fall asleep or has inconsistent sleep patterns.
Children who are obese are more likely to suffer from sleep problems as they have trouble moving around enough to allow their bodies to release the chemicals that promote sleepiness.
Some children even have restless leg syndrome, which causes them to shake or jerk their legs.
This can indicate sleep apnea, a condition in which the child stops breathing while sleeping and causes them to wake up in the middle of the night. For sleep apnea, your child may need a CPAP or Continuous Positive Airway Pressure machine to help them breathe during sleep.
You may speak to a Respiratory Therapist about sleep apnea and CPAP machines. The majority of my patients in the hospitals have breathing issues and many have CPAP machines to help them sleep due to sleep apnea.
Asthma is a chronic medical condition that causes inflammation and narrowing bronchial tubes, making breathing difficult. Asthma attacks may be triggered by various factors, including dust and pollen.
Overweight children are more likely to develop asthma due to breathing problems caused by excess weight. Therefore, children must eat healthy foods to prevent this condition from occurring. In some cases, a child may have an allergy to a food that causes them to have an asthma episode, so it would be essential to know if any allergies are affecting the child.
The best way to determine if a child has an allergy is by visiting a doctor. A Respiratory Therapist can also help you within the hospital, as I am an RT, with your asthma or respiratory issues.
ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is a condition that causes the child to be hyperactive, inattentive, or both.
The World Health Organization estimates that around 1 in 20 children have ADHD.
Eating junk food regularly can increase the risk of ADHD because it increases insulin levels, making it harder for the brain to produce dopamine. Dopamine is responsible for controlling attention and emotions.
Unbalanced dopamine levels can make it difficult for children to focus and have a stable mood.
13. Poor Skin
Skin problems are common in kids who eat junk food filled with artificial ingredients that lead to acne scars and dry skin.
Some children who eat a poor diet develop Acute Flaccid Paralysis (AFP), which causes their facial muscles to weaken and temporarily become paralyzed. It usually occurs on one side of their face or body. The first symptoms of this condition include fatigue and sudden weakness.
To reduce the risk of developing adult-onset paralysis, kids must eat a healthy diet of whole foods. So eat good fats, not too much sugar, and processed foods.
14. Social Isolation
When kids eat junk food, they are less likely to be active outdoors and play with friends leading to social isolation. Social isolation is linked to depression and a lower quality of life.
Kids who have friends and participate in activities tend to have higher grades in school and better performance on standardized tests. Kids who eat junk food are more likely to develop a condition called psychogenic polydipsia, which is a condition in which the kid consumes unnatural amounts of water, causing them to urinate more often than usual.
15. Lower School Grades
Kids who eat junk food usually have lower grades in school, making it difficult to get into college or find a job. Their bodies are not as prepared for higher education and the workforce. Eating a poor diet of processed foods can lead to lower grades because it lowers their IQ and ability to learn critical thinking skills.
Kids who eat junk food are more likely to be obese, have a poor quality of life, have low grades in school, be socially isolated and develop psychogenic polydipsia. The foods kids should eat allow them to grow tall and robust such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, and whole grains. Eating these foods will help them become healthy and active.

Perhaps, you walk less than you used to as a result of muscle aches in your legs. Maybe you’ve had a sore on your foot that seemed to take forever to heal. Or you’ve also heard you suffer from poor circulation.
These are actually the sneaky symptoms of peripheral artery disease, according to WebMD. This disease narrows the arteries in the legs, thus limiting blood flow to the muscles.
Moreover, it can take you by surprise, resulting in no symptoms at all or the symptoms you may think are something else. Even mild cases can be a indicator that you might also have problems with other arteries.
Unfortunately, poor circulation can contribute to other health issues, such as oxygen deficiency in the tissues, cholesterol that clog the arteries in time, as well as bloodstream loaded with fat.
It often occurs since the arteries harden and narrow, which is known as atherosclerosis. The main causes of this health issue include high blood pressure, smoking, high cholesterol, and inactivity.
You’re more likely to get a worse case of peripheral artery disease that improves less with treatment in case you suffer from diabetes.
9 Exercises that Can Improve Circulation
Your blood circulation can be improved thanks to nine simple, but effective exercises. In addition, if you add a well-balanced diet along with these excellent exercises, then you will treat this health issue just within a short period of time.
Stretching – It should be performed after waking up. Consider making it a morning ritual that will only take you a few minutes as it is of immense importance for your muscles.
Joint exercise – Place your feet flat on the floor. Then, stand on your toes, and raise the heels for about 2 seconds. Tighten your calf muscles and make 10 repetitions.
Feet rotation – Sit on a chair and rotate your foot clockwise. Repeat it 10 times to improve the suppleness of your legs.
Pushups – After waking up in the morning do a set of 10 pushups. This ritual will provide you with enough energy throughout the day.
Walking – It is the most effective exercise for blood circulation because it improves the blood flow throughout the body, as well as relaxes and tightens the leg muscles. At the beginning, start with short walks, 2-3 times a week.
Cycling – It is thought to be the best exercise for improving blood flow in the lower body part.
Yoga – By practicing yoga you will actually perform incredible breathing techniques that improve the blood flow in the muscles and oxygen concentration in the blood.
Dancing – Interestingly, dancing is very useful for improving the blood circulation. What’s more, it eliminates the stress as well as the excess body weight.

When we started our "Fill in the Blank" interview series back in June, our mission was simply to track down local creatives and give them a platform to speak. We provided open-ended questions, encouraging St. Louis musicians to rant or rave on the subject at hand. When presenting the phrase "The St. Louis music scene could use..." we received some particularly thoughtful responses. While a few seemed content with the usual goings-on of St. Louis music, many were vocal about specific changes they'd like to see.
With a new year now looming before us, we thought it would be worthwhile to compile some of these thoughts. After combing through the answers from six months' worth of interviews, five basic notions were agreed upon: local support, unity, diversity, effort and appreciation. Read on, because this advice rings true for many bands, venues, booking agents and music fans alike, regardless of genre or personal preference.
Brothers Lazaroff: The St. Louis music scene could use... more wide-spread support of original local music. There is a strong core of support for local music, between the RFT, KDHX, Arch City Radio Hour, Eleven Magazine, St. Louis Magazine, the Post and great local blogs like I Went To A Show and Jarred Gastreich's Show Me Shows. There are a lot of great outlets for local bands to spread their music. But until there is more of a "support original local music" ethos in the city and suburbs at large, it'll be hard for local bands to maintain momentum and play regularly in St. Louis. Maybe more happy hour and early evening weekday shows would help?
Ultimately, people have to realize that it is worth the energy of getting off the couch for a night and taking in some original music or art. I guess we all fight that inertia, though! St. Louis is a major music city in respects to our history and talent, but we aren't a music-industry town so we have to find a way to create a larger base of concertgoers.
Nicholas Horn (guitar) of Brotherfather: The St. Louis music scene could use... more fans. I don't really know how to make that happen, though. It seems like the bottom line is that St. Louis is a place that's largely dominated by mass culture, and the majority of people aren't interested in hearing much of anything other than what Clear Channel's offering. Luckily, there is a small community of people in town who are very much interested in fostering creative activity, supporting artists in all kinds of different media and generally making St. Louis a more vibrant, interesting place.
Langen Neubacher (guitar, vocals) of the Defeated County: The St. Louis music scene could use... more folks that aren't directly involved in the business following the local music here. The St. Louis music scene is all love between the musicians and venues and artists involved — it's beautiful, but I genuinely believe we've got some local talent that could compete with the best national acts. We need more people outside of our circles to hear us.
Austin (vocals) of Animal Teeth: The St. Louis music scene could use... more unity. It sounds cheesy, but you do not see the same people at a punk show that you would see at a noise show. Give or take [the genres] differ in sound, but one should understand that we are all weirdos and should maybe collaborate on shows.
Jordan Lake (guitar) of Heavy Horse: The St. Louis music scene could use... more unity. Sometimes, it feels like there are multiple St. Louis scenes. I want more a family-like feel across the board.
Philip Lesicko (drums/guitar) of the Funs: The St. Louis music scene could use... more diverse shows. I feel like more people would attend if they were more interesting. I'm not hating on anything, but it seems bleak at the moment. It needs new blood. Suburb kids with a clean slate.
Mister Ben (guitar) of Beauty Pageant: The St. Louis music scene could use... more self-confidence, especially when it comes to weirdness. There's an obsession with paying tribute to indigenous folk music from half a century ago, which the RFT oozes orgasmic love for. I'd rather see more creeps lurking in the corner wielding contact mics, prepared to make utterly uncomfortable noises. Because it's OK, goddammit, to make those noises. You can get away with it here! It's cheap and easy! Maybe we could use a more flexible critical standard, or another beer.
Jeff Robtoy (vocals) of Pillow Talk: The St. Louis music scene could use... more bands that tour consistently, put out records, promote themselves and become recognized on a national level. There are so many crummy bands that are popular not because they are interesting or talented, but because they come from money, a cool part of the United States, or are not afraid to promote their product. St. Louis bands could really be big if they tried a little harder — myself included.
Julio Prato (guitar, vocals) of Kenshiro's: The St. Louis music scene could use... more drive to get outside. St Louis is great, but I feel like it needs a different approach to making it nationally. There's so much fantastic music being made in the city — I wish I could see So Many Dynamos headlining Coachella or something like that. I've gained a lot of respect for the scene because I discovered that I actually enjoy the music quite a bit, so I would like to see those bands propelling themselves into national territory, so that the country starts looking at St Louis and realizing the scene is worth a lot more than what people think.


Attorney General Eric Holder has a “lot of sleepless nights,” reported ABC News this morning. Chief among his concerns? The threat of “homegrown violent extremists.”
Asked the ABC News reporter, “Is that threat,” like the Boston Marathon bombing last year, “any less serious?”
“These lone wolves. These homegrown violent extremists are people who keep me up at night, as well,” said Holder. “Trying to monitor them, trying to anticipate what it is they are going to do. And the experience that we had in Boston is instructive. It only takes only one or two people to really do something horrific.”
The ABC anchor says the reporter and Holder talked about “homegrown terrorists who are motivated more by domestic concerns.” .
“Yes,” the reporter says citing a couple recent examples. “He said that is coming back, as well. There may be a resurgence. He said there are a lot of sleepless nights these days.”

The Mission of the Public Works Department is to manage, maintain, and develop the City's street system. This is accomplished by maintaining street pavement; operating and maintaining traffic signals, signs and markings; and planning and developing the street system.
The department's major functions include Pavement Preservation, Concrete Restoration, Base Restoration, Traffic Engineering, Traffic Signals, and Signs & Markings.
Public Works Services
The Flashing Yellow Arrow Signal, or FYA, are being installed at several local intersections throughout the city.
Banners for non-profit events or activities can be placed over the street at seven different locations in the city. The banners have to be permitted and there is a non-refundable application fee.
The Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon, or PHB, is an overhead signal-beacon designed to help pedestrians safely cross a busy street. A PHB signal works like any other push-button activated pedestrian, a red signal will appear allowing pedestrians to cross safely with a WALK signal.
The City prohibits work or activities that in any way obstruct a street, sidewalk or other similar public place except those operating according to a valid Public Right-of-Way Blockage Permit.
By City Ordinance, the property owner is responsible for sidewalk maintenance. Occasionally small stretches of sidewalk are repaired or replaced as part of a street project.
Corrections to your Street Maintenance Fee charge, requests for a change in land use designation, or requests for a Low Income Discount can be done with the forms provided here.
If you want to report a pot hole, a cave-in or any other type of street pavement problem, call the City's Call Center and a work order will be created.
You can request installation of certain traffic control devices. Examples include speed humps, stop signs, traffic signals, crosswalks, or parking restrictions.
To report traffic signals that are malfunctioning or street signs that are down or damaged, call the City's Call Center and a work order will be created.
Paving the way for you.

...and this seems like her most mature work yet, according to Cinematical:
Hit-Girl's career continues to barrel forward, this time with her first big, starring dramatic gig. Variety reports that Chloe Moretz will star in Andrea Portes' adaptation of her 2007 novel, Hick, and Derick Martini, one half of the Martini Brothers behind Lymelife, will direct.
Portes' debut book focuses on a Nebraska girl named Luli who runs away to Las Vegas. Her mother -- an "aging Brigitte Bardot" -- and father have run off, leaving Luli alone at home with a Smith and Wesson .45. She grabs the gun and starts hitching rides to Vegas, where she faces a number of unsafe and unsavory types from a drug addict to a rapist. In other words, it basically takes the cinematically adventurous kid-on-his-own story of Moretz's Hugo Cabret and gives it a heavy and unsafe dose of reality.
Something tells me that Moretz is done with the 100 Acre Wood. After a decent stint lending her voice to My Friends Tigger & Pooh, she quickly jumped up to the typical wise-for-her-years Rachel in (500) Days of Summer before becoming the "It" Girl Hit-Girl and snagging a number of lead roles in the likes of The Fields, The Invention of Hugo Cabret, and this fall's vampire romance Let Me In. Think she's ready for something a little heavier, or does this sort of drama just reek of Dakota Fanning territory?

Whether you're hiking through high desert pursuing a heavy pronghorn or scouting for that giant whitetail buck in the back forty, Aerowool is your best hot weather, active base layer.
SO WHAT DOES AEROWOOL DO?
The unique molecular structure and neutral charge of wool fibers prevents the attraction of odor-causing bacteria. Enhanced by hydrophilic 37.5 fibers, moisture is quickly pulled away from the skin and transported through the fabric, eliminating the moisture needed for bacteria to form.
When your body is not spending its resources and calories on cooling or warming its core, you're more efficient, you have more stamina, you think more clearly and you can make a better shot.
DELAY THE ONSET OF SWEAT
Aerowool works in the vapor stage before you break into a sweat. If your activity level increases suddenly or the temperature heats up and sweat appears, First Lite's Aerowool dries three to five times faster than competitive Merino products.
Leaning on Merino Wool's inherently soft fiber, Aerowool is one of the quietest base layer systems in the marketplace with its virtually silent movement.


Cutting Cost in Rising Temperatures
Air compressors generate heat. Heat creates condensation and as we talk about at great length here, moisture and your air compressor system just don’t get along. It’s one of the hard and fast rules of air compression.
What’s key here, is how you manage that heat.
Here’s a statistic- a whopping 94 percent of the energy created by an air compressor is converted to heat. You have to do something with it. Some facilities choose to funnel it out of the room where the air compressor lives.
Here’s something you may not have thought of- this heat produced by your compressor system can be re-purposed in your production process or used to heat water in your facility.
But how about this option- what if you could collect the hot air produced by your system and use it to heat your facility in cold weather months?
This is easily executed by ducting the air that passes through your compressor systems after-coolers to a part of your building that could use a little extra heat. These ducts will have a bypass that either sends the air outside to keep the compressor room cooler, or reroutes it to the heat-needing room.
The good news here is two-fold. Funneling the hot air produced by your air compressor into another part of your facility can keep your energy costs down, and some states have rewards and incentives in place that… well… reward your energy-conscious use of the compressors byproduct.
If you’ve got questions about managing the heat created by your air compressor system, from getting it out of the room to keep its temperature under control; to transferring it to another part of your building to heat it and keep your overall energy costs under control, don’t hesitate to contact us. We’ll answer your heat distribution questions and maybe even save you some money in the process.
