Image of Fox News Channel around 7:45 p.m. EST shows a banner instructing viewers looking for the impeachment trial defense of President Trump to look online instead as the network airs a commercial next to a mute box of the trial.
It is a decision that was noted by many.
Breitbart reporter Joel Pollak, “I’m watching the #ImpeachmentTrial on @MSNBC because @FoxNews, for some reason, has former liberal Democrat Senator Barbara Boxer on to discuss her views instead of hearing @realDonaldTrump’s own lawyer defend the votes of 63 million Americans”
“But you can’t hear it on @FoxNews Mr. President. They chose to interview Barbara Boxer instead of allowing us to hear Robert Ray defend you! Sad move on their part. Several had to watch on C-Span and believe it or not @MSNBC”
“For the first time I’m watching CNN, since 2016. WTH @FoxNews!”
Also, in an apparent ‘if you can’t beat ’em, join’em decision’ the Trump campaign had Lara Trump appear on Fox during the presentation by Dershowitz.
Earlier in the day Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace angrily lectured Katie Pavlich during a discussion on impeachment trial witnesses, telling Pavlich to, “Get your facts straight!” It is part of a pattern of Fox alienating its conservative viewer base that has made Fox the top rated cable news network for years.
Fox continued ignoring the Trump defense presentation with the follow-up airing of Tucker Carlson at 8 p.m. EST, who promised viewers the network would cut in if anything important happened. Carlson closed an interview with Trump defense team member Rep. Debbie Lesko (R-AZ) as Dershowitz was defending the President by calling it “the nonsense ongoing in the Senate.”

We spent over a week at the Westin KORV (North) and enjoyed our entire stay. Our first night was in a studio (as our one-bedroom villa was not available – we had decided to come a few days early and was only able to book the studio), which was actually a very well-appointed room in Bldg 7. Our room faced the Molokai Lawn and river pool, the quietest of all the pools other than the adult pool between Bldgs 7 and 8. A couple of days later, our move to the one-bedroom suite was seamless: We merely checked out, had the hotel store our luggage while we were out for a day of adventure, and when we checked in for our “new” room, where we’d stay for the rest of our vacation, our bags were sent up soon after we entered.
The staff throughout the property were excellent. Everyone, and I mean everyone, no matter what time of day (and I wake up at 3:00am to hit the gym so I ran into staff in the wee hours), was courteous, friendly, and always offering to help. Speaking of the gym, I used the fitness center on the north side. Loved it. It was never busy (I usually went in the morning and tried the afternoon a couple of times). The spacious workout room provided towels, water, headphones, great music, personal TVs on the equipment, etc. That fitness center was close to Spa Helani, which I reviewed in a separate entry on TA.
Our one-bedroom villa still in Bldg 7 but had a view of the north – wide, green space with the ocean to the west. I was really happy with the amenities in our room – we were set for our vacation (we hit Costco for food and other items) – as the kitchen had everything we needed. We even did a couple of loads of laundry. Anyway, I doubt I can add more than other reviewers about what the premium villas offer. For us, it was a nice, spacious, clean and very comfortable “home base” for our anniversary trip.
We couldn’t understand the people who staked out lounge chairs at the pool and appeared to stay there all day. We’re in Hawaii, folks! But we did take it easy one afternoon after back-to-back activities and ordered food by the beach pool (food from Pailolo). We rather enjoyed our snack, but there was something weird about reclining by the pool and stuffing our faces with hamburgers and nachos – ha! We did go back to Pailolo during happy hour and tried more of their offerings – great service, good food. We also tried Ocean Bar & Grill on the south side – same type of food with live music (this was daytime, so it was nice to be in a quieter area while Pailolo was packed with sports fans).
We’ll definitely return to Westin-KORV North. We had such a great time in general in Hawaii, but it was made better by the fact that we had a really nice and comfortable place to stay. I’ve tried all types of lodging when I visit the Islands, and staying at the Westin was up there for comfort, great service, and ideal location. Seriously, no complaints at all during our trip. I hope we can get back to Maui soon!

The distance between Denver and Beaver Creek is 83 miles. – There are 109.7 miles between here and there. Breckenridge is a one-hour-and-45-minute journey from Denver via I-70 and Highway 9 (depending on traffic and weather conditions).
Take advantage of the convenience of a shuttle ride if you want to remain in Beaver Creek for your whole vacation. Renting a private car service is the better choice if you’re seeing more of what Colorado offers on your schedule and at your own pace.
Chauffeur-driven vehicle rentals, self-driving car rentals, luxury wedding automobiles, and more are all available via professional car rental services. Below are the top reasons why you should hire Denver to Beaver Creek car service:
· Best for occasional travelers:
If you just need a vacation vehicle, renting one makes more sense. Spending money on a vehicle, you won’t drive much is pointless.
· No parking issues:
Hiring a car service means you won’t have to waste time searching for someplace to leave your vehicle if you get lost. Upon arrival at your destination, your driver will meet you at the agreed hour and drop you off at the front door.
· Affordable option:
Putting a price on convenience would be akin to a price on time. A private car transportation Denver to mountains with chauffeur is well worth the cost when considering the amount of time and work it saves you. In addition, if you’re going on a group event with your buddies, such as a bachelor or bachelorette party, you may divide the cost. It’s not cheap to take a taxi or park a car when you’re only one person.
· Efficient choice:
Being chauffeured around eliminates the risk of getting lost. Rental car services drivers know their routes inside and out. Also, they know the quickest and most minor crowded routes to any given location on the map. Your car service driver is always on time for your appointments. You can count on your driver to be there on time and go above and beyond to keep you out of traffic.

I look out
past the weathered driftwood,
with sea birds surrounding me.
I draw in a long deep breath,
inhaling, the scent, of the roaring sea.
Against the seaweed incrusted rocks,
hits hard, the rolling tide.
As the white capped rippled waters lap,
the seashore far and wide.
A tune of peace, and tranquility it plays,
as sea birds, and water keep in time.
My soul refreshed and soothed,
it claims this heart of mine.
So calming, quaint and breathtaking,
it's beauty is to me.
As I look out upon the waters of the,
Turquoise Roaring Sea.

V4 Ministers of Finance met for the first time under the 2021/2022 Hungarian Presidency in Budapest. On the margins of the meeting, Mihály Varga and his Czech, Slovakm and Polish counterparts – Alena Schillerová, Igor Matovič and Tadeusz Kościński – signed a joint declaration on the re-launch of the V4 economies, including fiscal policies, cooperation in combating tax fraud and the support of families.
V4 countries expect the European Union to play a greater role in strengthening its external borders in the face of the new wave of illegal immigration, Mihály Varga said at a press conference following the V4 Finance Ministers' Summit. The Hungarian finance minister noted that the economic strength of the Visegrad Group is becoming increasingly important in Europe, therefore the relaunch of the European economy cannot succeed without the stronger performance of the region.
The combined trade of the Visegrád countries with Germany is double the rate of the German-French trade, and three times greater than between Germany and Italy. Varga added that the economy of the Visegrad Group grew faster before the epidemic and performed better during the crisis than the EU average.

Mini Bell yellow is a very productive, low growing, strong plant and it produces a prolific amount of small, bell pepper-shaped fruits that grow to about 4-5 cm in size. The delicious, sweet flavoured peppers ripen from dark green to bright yellow. This easy and fast growing variety is very well suited for growing in cooler climates. It can also be grown outdoors in large pots on a sunny spot with some shelter. Harvest the sweet peppers regularly to prolong the flowering and growing of new fruits till the end of summer. Height: 60 - 65 cm.
Sweet Pepper seeds
Days till harvest
Indoor sowing: february - april
Germination: 7 - 14 days
Germination temp. : 22 - 25°C
Sowing depth: shallow - ½ cm
Replanting: 2 - 3 weeks after sowing
Transplanting: after the Ice Saints
Plant distance: 40 - 50 cm
Plant position: greenhouse or glashouse
Days till harvest: 95 - 110 days
Soak, for a faster germination, the seeds about 12 hours prior to sowing in tepid water. This softens the seeds and make the germination a bit easier. Sow from february on in trays with some moist pottingsoil. Sow shallow and thinly and cover the seeds with a tiny layer of soil. Put the trays in a propagator with lid to keep the temperature as even and constant as possible. This helps also with the germination. Don't let the temperature drop during the night. Remove the lid when the seedlings emerge. Keep moist, warm and light. Transplant the seedlings to large, individual pots after approx. 2 - 3 weeks.
Transplant Your seedlings, after the Ice Saints have gone (half may), and there's no longer any danger of nightsfrost, outdoors in a greenhouse or hothouse. Sweet peppers love warmth and they need a lot of warmth, sunlight and shelter for a good harvest. Give Your plants a sturdy support and from the moment the fruits are going to set each week some liquid fertilizer. Harvest the sweet peppers by cutting them with scissors of the plant or by twisting them of the plant.

With summer quickly approaching, homeowners are making sure their AC systems are in working order. This is not only a matter of comfort and convenience, but one of safety as well. If you are having problems with your system, do not wait until the extreme heat is upon to get it checked out.
Many factors can contribute to AC system breakdown. A common culprit is a faulty AC sensor.
This article lays out some of the symptoms and causes of AC sensor failure. It also gives you some basic information on prospective fixes. Keep reading to find out more.
How AC Sensors Work
Almost every AC system has an ambient temperature sensor. This is a component located on the thermostat, usually near the evaporator coils. Some smart home systems have sensors that you can place in different rooms throughout your home.
An air conditioner sensor compares the ambient temperature with the temperature set on the thermostat. It then tells the system to make adjustments, activating the compressor when it is too warm and turning it off when it reaches the desired temperature. Without it, your system has no way of determining indoor temperature, which means it cannot make your AC cycle on and off.
Common Signs of AC Sensor Problems
Almost any failure of your HVAC system to kick on could be the result of a faulty AC sensor. There are other common clues that yours has gone out, though, beyond failure to start up.
One main sign is the failure of your AC to turn off when the space has reached its desired temperature. Even if it does finally shut off, this could be a sign that your sensor is damaged and not reading the ambient temperature.
If you notice your system running longer than usual or rooms becoming very cold, this could be a sign that your sensor reading is off. You may find yourself manually turning the AC off to keep it from blowing all the time.
Solutions to AC Sensor Issues
AC malfunctions could be the result of the buildup of dirt in the unit that is disrupting signals. A thorough cleaning inside the component may fix this issue. This DIY fix is worth a try if you can identify the location of the sensor.
Having your HVAC system components cleaned also ensures that it is running as efficiently as possible. This can save you money on your utility bill as well as reduce wear and tear on your system.
Improper installation of a new thermostat is another common cause. This issue has increased with the advent of smart thermostats that require a half dozen or more wires to operate your HVAC system. This too is a simple repair that warrants rewiring or––worst case––the installation of new wires between the thermostat and the system.
Another reason that an AC sensor is not functioning well is that it has become dislodged. This can inhibit its access to the surrounding air to read the temperature.
In some cases, sensors can be repaired. Although, replacing the broken thermostat may be the easiest course of action (depending on its age and functionality otherwise).
Find AC Sensor Repair Near You
Now that you understand the functions of an AC sensor and some indications that yours may be faulty, you can take steps to correct the issue. A reputable HVAC repair shop will be able to diagnose the issues and propose solutions.
Schwartz Air Conditions installs only the highest quality HVAC brands and products. We offer repair, installation, and maintenance services to ensure each of our customer’s needs are met. Reach out to us today to schedule a free estimate.

I had a different version of this installment written up, but then the first song here came up, and made everything else take a backseat. So, I guess I have next week’s post ready to go. If you’re new around here (welcome!) make sure to check out the backstory here, and if you’ve been watching since the start, good for you for being so cutting edge. Let’s get into it:
I was never a big fan of dancing. I mean, I like it just fine if I’ve had enough to drink – and have no problem indiscriminately shaking my ass when I’m a half a dozen drinks in – but I have no idea what the hell I’m doing. I’m sure if I were on the outside observing, I’d seem far less awesome than I imagine myself to be in the moment. But that awareness doesn’t stop me from enjoying it.
This particular song makes me kind of wish I had been involved in the house scene, because I’m sure it’s a floor filler. Each time it comes on, I have to listen to it three times at minimum. It is absolutely unstoppable, and though I may never dance to it anywhere other than my living room, I know that it’s a track that my collection would be incomplete without.
You can’t fight the funk. It’s best not to try. I gave myself over to it a long time ago, and I’ve been much happier since.

In the summer, getting outside and enjoying nature is great... until you start getting bug bites. Here are 10 aesthetic plants that can repel mosquitos around your home and outdoor spaces.
Citronella candles are very popular pest repellants. However, few people know that citronella is also a large grass that can be grown in the garden or in a pot to repel mosquitos naturally. Grow in full sun with well-draining soil.
Cymbopogon nardus. Common names: Citronella. Mana Grass. Used in insect repellents.

3. Lemon Balm
Lemon balm gives off a pleasant minty-lemon scent that repels mosquitos and attracts butterflies. Crushed leaves can be rubbed on the skin as a repellant. Lemon balm is hardy and invasive, so it should be grown in a pot to prevent spreading.
Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis), herb garden, St. Andrew's-Sewanee
The seasonal ageratum flower repels mosquitos well, although it should not be used directly on the skin. Ageratum is beautiful and very easy to grow in partial sun.

Peppermint is a tasty and fragrant mosquito repellant that is similar to lemon balm. Planting peppermint around your garden and doorways will keep mosquitos away, but be wary that it is invasive.

We have been to a number of Club Meds around the world and although this Club doesnt have the serene and calm feel of the Asian Clubs, it is a fantastic destination for a family vacation. We were a family of four including two teenage daughters, and found that the Club offered enough for everyone to find an activity to keep them busy. The beach is outstanding and is one of the best beaches at any of the Clubs we have visited. The food was fabulous, always lots of choice and the seafood availablity on the New Years Dinner was terrific. The club is well maintained however some wings of accomadation could do with a face lift. The atmosphere as always at a Club was friendly except my daughter who loves the trapeze found the GO's there to be not as friendly as other Clubs we have visited. All in all this Club is a great destination to enjoy some good family holiday time and did not disappoint at all.

Study: Lack of meritocracy, corruption primary reasons behind Greek ‘brain drain’
A perceived lack of meritocracy and corruption are the two primary factors fueling “brain drain” in Greece, according to the findings of a study published this week by ICAP People Solutions.
Another prominent reason, albeit secondary, is the punishing economic crisis in the country since 2009-10, with members of Greece’s highly skilled younger generation seeking better economic prospects overseas.
According to the study by the Athens-based business services group, the main conditions allowing for a possible return of younger “expats” is employment with corresponding pay and benefits, as well as an overall improvement in the country’s economy.
Respondents in the study who said they emigrated for professional reasons, but then returned to Greece, cited “family reasons”, such as obligations vis-a-vis parents or children.
In the study, the profile of younger professionals who left Greece for legal employment abroad shows that 92 percent are degree holders, and 60 percent said they emigrated after having first worked in Greece.
The majority selected the UK, followed by other EU countries to continue their career.
Most of the young Greek professionals that emigrated headed for the sectors of IT, construction, energy and financial-insurance sector, followed by education and health care.
Roughly half of the respondents in the study said they have worked abroad for more than three years, and one-third said they do not intend to return to Greece on a permanent basis.

Just taking some time off of my lunch break to post this, folks. Got a book to copy-edit. XD
When I came to the fifth and last book of the Percy Jackson series, I actually felt sad. I didn't want the series to end just yet, leaving all our characters (the ones still left alive, that is) at age sixteen, the peak of their adolescence. Yet somehow, part of me thinks that sixteen is a good place to leave them, if we have to leave them. Like many of our best-loved characters in books, like Peter Pan and Princess Sarah and Little Lord Fauntleroy, they will never age. Another part of me, though, wants Percy and Annabeth and Grover and Rachel and all the others to finish growing up, to see the kind of men and women they will turn out to be. In the end though, the decision ultimately rests in the author's hands.
I wouldn't say no to another five books though :P Anyway, our teaser for today is taken from "Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Last Olympian" by Rick Riordan. I couldn't help but think this is one moment I'd want to see on film, if they got the comic timing right.
"You cannot imprison me!" he bellowed. "I am Hyperion! I am-"
The bark closed over his face.
Grover took his pipes from his mouth. "You are a very nice maple tree."
-p. 226 of "Percy Jackson and the Last Olympian" by Rick Riordan
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

* Open to a random page

* BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)

Residents of the small village on Dartmoor in the UK can now boast the most comfortable bus stop. One fine morning Volkhempton - is the name of the village - woke up and discovered that the miserable and covered with graffiti bus stop turned into a warm and cozy living room, full of soft chairs and cushions, with lots of paintings on the walls, with pots of flowers on the windows and other decorations everywhere. This is not the first time such a "transformation overnight" - bus stop was redekorirovana more than once, and that the most interesting - no one knows who is responsible for this matter.
Now stop more like a toy house - a feeling creates a contrast between the home decoration and outdoor wall.
Before stopping often been vandalized - the walls were izrisoval street graffiti, and quite mediocre quality; Now the walls are decorated with paintings of beautiful landscapes and the locals are very pleased to such changes.
One of the residents Volkhemptona said: "We like got its own superhero who saves us from discouragement." The village lives only 850 people, but the news of the anonymous designer bus stops quickly bypassed the first all local and national television and then the UK, including the BBC itself. "This attention we definitely cheered" says Nick Shutt, one of the local - "It's nice that for us now all know."
On Helluin anonymous designer decorate pumpkins stop and other attributes of the holiday, and on the last Valentine's Day roses decorated it, the pads in the shape of hearts, candles and baskets with chocolate, and the ceiling has attached a red chandelier with flowers, fits perfectly into the atmosphere of the day of lovers.
Residents left several letters with gratitude addressed to an unknown designer to the bus stop, with the request that he continued his cause.
Perhaps an example will Volkhemptona impetus to intensify partisan designers worldwide. Maybe it's your time to become a defender of the bus stops?

As for types of tea, the five main groups are white, green, oolong, black, and pu’erh.
Is Chai Chinese or Indian?
First, a brief history of chai: “chai” translates to “tea” in Hindi and several other Indian languages (so Starbucks is being redundant—Chai Tea just means “tea tea”). Tea came to India from China, but was popularised largely in the British colonial era when large plantations were established.
How do I choose tea?
When steeped, excellent tea should be deeply aromatic and amplify the unique scents of the dry tea leaves. Taste: Great tea will have a strong, recognizable taste and mouthfeel. Sip slowly, allowing the tea to roll over different parts of your tongue; you should be able notice different flavor notes and mouthfeels.
Which city is famous for tea in India?
Assam, Northeast India Assam, located in India’s remote northeast, is the largest tea producing region in the country. Mostly grown in the Brahmaputra Valley, malty Assamese tea is brightly colored. Jorhat, in the central part of the valley, is often referred to as the “Tea Capital of the World”.
Which country grows the best Tea?
ChinaChina is the #1 largest producer of tea in the world, at 2,473,443 tonnes, and also has the most land devoted to tea growing, at 2,224,261 hectares.
Is Indian tea safe to drink?
With tea/coffee, it is usually unlikely that you’ll get stomach cramps even for tourists. Other things such as dodgy ice are far more likely to get you sick. Anything boiled should be safe to drink, and the dust on the cups shouldn’t really be a problem, either.

Limoneira buys stake in Chilean citrus packing operation
Limoneira Co. has purchased a 35 percent stake in a Chilean citrus business for $1.75 million.
Santa Paula-based Limoneira said Tuesday that it had made the investment in Rosales, a citrus packing, marketing and sales operation based in La Serena, Chile. The operation is located in the coastal region of northern Chile, which is a major citrus and avocado-growing region, Limoneira said.
“We are excited about our first international business investment,” Limoneira Senior Vice President Alex Teague said in a statement. “Our management team has a long-standing relationship with Rosales, and we look forward to working with them more closely following our investment.”
Limoneira is one of the largest lemon and avocado growers in the U.S. The company’s second-quarter operating income jumped 35 percent to $3.2 million, prompting it to raise its full-year outlook. The firm now expects operating income of between $10.6 million and $11.8 million this year, compared to previous guidance of $7 million. Large orchard acquisitions in Arizona and California over the last year, coupled with higher lemon prices, prompted the more positive outlook.
The investment in Chile “enables Limoneira to better evaluate future potential investment opportunities in Chile’s vast, productive agricultural properties,” Teague said.
Rosales, which primarily packs and sells lemons, sells its produce into Asian, European, and Chilean markets, Limoneira said.
Going forward, Limoneira will handle Rosales’ lemon sales to Asian markets. In return for the investment, Limoneira will earn equity income and 50 cents per carton on lemon sales to Asian markets, it said, resulting in an estimated at $200,000 to $300,000 per year in revenue.
“With its favorable climate for lemons and other citrus, we have been looking for the right opportunity to enter the Chilean agriculture market for some time and are very pleased with our partnership with Rosales,” Limoneira President and CEO Harold Edwards said in a statement. “Our investment in Rosales is consistent with our long-term strategy to expand our agribusiness internationally as a global, year round supplier of lemons.”
Last year, Limoneira paid $18.6 million to acquire Arizona citrus grower Associated Citrus Packers, followed by an $8.75 million deal to buy 760 acres of farmland in Porterville. Last month, the firm purchased the packing house operations of Marlin Ranching Co. in Yuma, Arizona, in a deal valued at up to $1.8 million. All three deals were aimed at securing a year-round supply of lemons, and Edwards has said in previous interviews with the Business Times that the company would like to consolidate the West Coast lemon industry.
The firm said it is also working on an expansion of its Santa Paula packing facility that it expects to complete in its next fiscal year.

If you have finally made-up your mind to live a healthier lifestyle, do follow the below mentioned tips to stay on the track for a longer period of time in a sustainable manner:
Eat a variety of food
For good health, we need a variety of nutrients which cannot come from one food. Having a balanced diet is a key to the good health. Eat your carbohydrates, protein and fats to nourish your body. Read to find different protein sources for vegetarians here.
Reduce Salt & Sugar Intake
A high salt intake can result in high blood pressure, and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Buy low-sodium salt and substitute salt with spices in food.
Sugary drinks and food are high in energy and should be consumed in moderation as an occasional treat. Use fruits, dates and even jaggery to sweeten favourite dish.
Control the Portion Size
Eating a variety of foods, regularly, and in the right amounts is the best formula for a healthy diet.
Skipping meals, especially breakfast, can lead to out-of-control hunger, often resulting in helpless overeating. Snacking between meals can help control hunger, but snacking should not replace proper meals. For snacks, we could choose yoghurt, a handful of fresh or dried fruits or vegetables (like carrot sticks), unsalted nuts, or perhaps some bread with cheese.
Paying attention to portion size will help us not to consume too much calories, and will allow us to eat all the foods we enjoy, without having to eliminate any.
Drink Plenty of Water
Adults need to drink at least 1.5 liter of water everyday and even more when it’s hot and when they are physically active. Read here to know when is the right time to drink water.
Stay Physically Active
Physical activity is important for people of all ages and weight ranges. It not only helps in burning extra calories but also keeps health in check. We don’t have to be a full time athlete to be active. Include small habits such as taking stairs, going for walk during lunch hours, making time for some activities during weekend. 150 minutes per week of moderate activity is advised.
Bring Lifestyle Changes Gradually
It’s easier to maintain lifestyle changes when introduced gradually. Major lifestyle changes introduced all at once are not sustainable. Begin with keeping a diary of your day to day activities and food you eat. Spot things you would like to change. Go slow. E.g. if you notice too little physical activity in your lifestyle, then start by taking stairs or going for 10 mins walk and gradually improve it. Sudden major changes will only backfire.
Eat Plenty of Fruit & Vegetables
Fruits and vegetables are among the most important foods for giving us enough vitamins, minerals and fibre. We should try to eat at least 5 servings a day. For example, a glass of fresh fruit juice at breakfast, perhaps an apple and a piece of watermelon as snacks, and a good portion of different vegetables at each meal.

Umpqua promotes Winterbourne, Braden
Umpqua Holdings Corp. announces a pair of major promotions
- Robert Goldfield, Special sections editor
As Umpqua Holdings Corp.’s growth continues, the Portland-based financial services holding company continues to promote managers to fill vital positions.
In September, Umpqua announced two key positions.
On the banking side, Steve Braden now manages Umpqua Bank’s operations in Portland, Vancouver, Bend, Salem, Corvallis and Albany.
Braden, executive vice president and regional manager, previously oversaw Umpqua’s bank operations in southern Oregon.
On the investing side, Umpqua Holdings promoted Jeani Winterbourne to president and CEO of Umpqua Investments Inc.
In those posts, Winterbourne will oversee business development and will also work with the wealth management division to expand financial planning offerings throughout the bank.
Winterbourne replaced John Noble, previously a UBS Financial Services executive in Portland, who was hired in December 2008 to lead Umpqua Investments.
For this Who’s Who section on banking and finance, the Business Journal asked Braden and Winterbourne to answer questions about their new roles. This section also contains Q&A interviews with several other prominent members of Portland’s financial services community.
As with Braden and Winterbourne, the other featured executives aren’t the top Portland leaders of the their organizations — for example, Umpqua Holdings CEO Ray Davis remains the face and leader of the publicly traded company — but they occupy strategic positions of influence that make them people to know and watch.

Saw this phenomenal 2 minute papers video on a recent publication by the DeepMind team on relational reasoning with images and text .
The paper describes composing an input deep-net that produces feature-maps describing a set of objects together with a functional unit called a relation network that learns relations between those objects. The resulting network is able to learn complex relations between a variety of objects, outperforming even humans sometimes!

In the past, women have often tried to make up deficits in their diet though the use of vitamins and supplements. However, while supplements can be a useful safeguard against occasional nutrient shortfalls, they can’t compensate for an unbalanced or unhealthy diet. To ensure you get all the nutrients you need from the food you eat, try to aim for a diet rich in fruit, vegetables, quality protein, healthy fats, and low in processed, fried, and sugary foods.
A year later, a second Harvard study added to the concern. The Physicians' Health Study of 20,885 men did not evaluate diet per se, but it did measure the blood levels of ALA in 120 men who developed prostate cancer and compared them with the levels in 120 men who remained free of the disease. Men with moderately high ALA blood levels were 3.4 times more likely to develop prostate cancer than men with the lowest levels; curiously, though, men with the very highest levels were only 2 times more likely to get the disease.
Hey Everyone! My name is Courtney Roberts and my husband and I recently moved to College Station. My husband works for Cellucor and is a proud Texas A&M Aggie Alum. I, on the other hand, am a LSU graduate, so the SEC rivalry is alive and well at our house! Before moving to College Station, I was a 2nd grade teacher for 7 years in The Woodlands. I got into biking and cycling about 9 years ago when my Mom was diagnosed with MS. My family became very involved in participating in the BP MS150 and bringing awareness to the illness. When Ashley gave me the opportunity to teach cycling classes, I jumped on the chance! When I am not cycling, I enjoy cooking, watching football, and hanging out with my dogs Beaux and Baleigh.
Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for the neurological and early visual development of your baby and for making breast milk after birth. Aim for two weekly servings of cold water fish such as salmon, tuna, sardines, herring, or anchovies. Sardines are widely considered the safest and most sustainable fish to eat, while seaweed is a rich vegetarian source of Omega-3s.
Vitamin D: Over the past decade, dozens of studies have revealed many important roles for vitamin D, the nutrient that skin cells produce when they are exposed to sunlight. The recommended daily intake of Vitamin D is 600 IU per day, although recommended levels are under review. If you avoid the sun or live in the northern half of the U.S., ask your doctor whether your vitamin D level should be tested.

Postmenopausal bleeding is caused by endometrial cancer only 9% of the time, but 91% of women with endometrial cancer have postmenopausal bleeding. For this reason, it’s always important that women have any unusual or postmenopausal bleeding checked by a doctor to rule out endometrial cancer. An ultrasound and biopsy are typically recommended to determine what is causing the bleeding. (Locked) More »

Calories. Most times, women need fewer calories. That’s because women naturally have less muscle, more body fat, and are usually smaller. On average, adult women need between 1,600 and 2,400 calories a day. Women who are more physically active may need more calories. Find out how many calories you need each day, based on your age, height, weight, and activity level.
It takes a lot of discipline to turn down a cupcake or roll out of your warm bed for a cold morning run. To make staying on track easier, it's important to make a real connection with your motivation, says Tara Gidus, R.D., co-host of Emotional Mojo. So think less about fitting into your skinny jeans or spring break bikini and more about emotional ties to the people you love. “Your relationships will grow stronger when you are physically healthy and taking care of yourself,” she says.
No matter how busy you are, eat lunch before 3 p.m., a Spanish study suggests. Researchers placed a group of women on a diet for 20 weeks; half ate lunch before 3 and half consumed their midday meal after 3. Although both groups’ daily caloric intake, time spent exercising and sleeping, and appetite hormone levels were the same, those who lunched late lost about 25 percent less weight than earlier eaters. Being European, lunch was the biggest meal of the day for these women, constituting 40 percent of their calories for the day, so consider slimming down dinner in addition to watching the clock.
Stress can wreak serious havoc on our bodies, but we actually need stress to a certain extent. For example, if we were running from a bear, we would need our stress response to kick in full force. We would start breathing faster, sending more oxygen to muscles to fuel movement, then our bodies would release stress hormones from our adrenal glands (cortisol) to heighten our focus by tapping into energy reserves for fuel so we could flee the danger. Cortisol isn’t always the bad guy, but when this response is high and chronic it tells your body to eat more than it “needs” because it’s thinking much more about survival, not stress over a work deadline or relationship woe. Cortisol is needed, but high levels of cortisol over time will contribute to those mentioned health impacts, especially abdominal weight gain! The problem is when we’re actually not in danger and our bodies are living in this state chronically. THIS is the magic piece of the puzzle – learning how we can turn off that heightened stress response when it’s not needed.
Having the proper footwear is essential for any workout, and for winter runs, that means sneaks with EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate), says Polly de Mille, an exercise physiologist who oversees New York Road Runner's Learning Series for first-time New York City Marathon runners. “Polyurethane tends to get really stiff and cold in the winter, which could increase your risk of injury.” Another important feature is a waterproof and windproof upper: Look for shoes made with Gortex, or wrap your mesh uppers in duct tape to keep feet dry and warm.
Getting enough water also is important. Many experts recommend at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water daily—more if you exercise frequently or are exposed to extremes of heat and cold. The 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans emphasize drinking more water and other calorie-free beverages, along with fat-free or low-fat milk and 100 percent fruit juices, instead of calorie-packed regular sodas.
Everyone seems to have food allergies these days, but in fact, such allergies are rare. According to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, while one in three adults think they have a food allergy or modify their family's diet, only about four percent do. A food allergy is an abnormal immune-system response to certain foods (most commonly, fish, shellfish, peanuts, other nuts and eggs). Symptoms can include hives, rashes, nasal congestion, nausea, diarrhea and gas. However, symptoms of food intolerance—such as intestinal distress—may mimic those of a food allergy. You may want to talk to an allergist about diagnosis and treatment. Whether you have food allergies or intolerance, you will need to develop a diet that fits your needs and avoids foods that trigger a reaction.
Folate or vitamin B9 (also known as folic acid when used in fortified foods or taken as a supplement) is another nutrient that many women don’t get enough of in their diets. Folate can greatly reduce the chance of neurological birth defects when taken before conception and during the first few weeks of pregnancy. Folate can also lower a woman’s risk for heart disease and certain types of cancer, so even if you’re not planning on getting pregnant (and many pregnancies are unplanned), it’s an essential nutrient for every woman of childbearing age. In later life, folate can help your body manufacture estrogen during menopause.
Sleeping seven to nine hours a night for five days straight may stave off bags under your eyes as well as saddlebags on your thighs. When women get enough sleep, they don’t take in extra, unnecessary calories to stay awake, according to a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Read: Adequate beauty rest can help you pass up pick-me-up snacks and head off added pounds.
Low-fat dairy products are excellent sources of calcium. Other good sources of calcium include salmon, tofu (soybean curd), certain vegetables (broccoli), legumes (peas and beans), calcium-enriched grain products, lime-processed tortillas, seeds and nuts. If you do not regularly consume adequate food sources of calcium, a calcium supplement can be considered to reach the recommended amount. The current recommendations for women for calcium are for a minimum of 1,200 mg per day.
For some simple suggestions about eating a healthy, balanced diet, check out the "New American Plate Concept" from the American Institute for Cancer Research. This concept suggests you fill your plate with two-thirds or more of vegetables, fruits, whole grains or beans and only one-third or less of animal protein. This simple principle can guide you toward healthier eating. For more details, visit http://www.aicr.org/site/PageServer?pagename=reduce_diet_new_american_plate.
