Route description and serviceEdit
The B67 route starts at McDonald Avenue and Cortelyou Road in Kensington, near the Ditmas Avenue station (F and <F> trains) on the New York City Subway's IND Culver Line. This terminus is shared with the B69. The two routes then continue up McDonald Avenue passing the Church Avenue station (F and G trains), and connecting with the B35. North of Albemarle Road, the Culver Line turns away from McDonald Avenue and runs to 20th Street, where it runs northwest on 20th Street to 7th Avenue. Here, buses run up the corridor, serving a commercial street in Park Slope. At Ninth Street there is a transfer to the Culver Line's Seventh Avenue station (F and G trains). Both routes continue up Seventh Avenue until Seventh Avenue meets Flatbush Avenue, at the Seventh Avenue station on the BMT Brighton Line. At this location, the B69 turns south towards Grand Army Plaza, while the B67 continues up Flatbush Avenue with the B41. The line then heads into Downtown Brooklyn, interchanging with the B45 at the Atlantic Avenue–Barclays Center station (2, 3, 4, 5, B, D, N, Q, R and W trains) by the Atlantic Terminal mall and adjacent LIRR station.
All routes then head past the Barclays Center, making no stops, until it reaches Livingston Street where buses turn onto Livingston to head into Downtown Brooklyn. The B67 diverges from the B41 and B45 at Jay Street and serves the Jay Street–MetroTech station (A, C, F, <F>, N, R, and W trains). This stop is shared by the B57 and B62 buses, which split off from Jay Street at Tillary Street. The B67 then continues along Jay Street, paralleling the IND Sixth Avenue Line (Template:NYCS Sixth Ritgers train) to the York Street station, where it enters Dumbo. Once in Dumbo, B67 buses meander through several streets until it turns south onto Gold Street and then east onto Sands Street. The line then continues via Sands Street until it reaches the Brooklyn Navy Yard, where buses enter through its Sands Street gate. Once in the yard, buses also travel via several streets, making two stops until it exits the yard at Clymer Street and Kent Avenue in Williamsburg, where it runs north to its terminus at Division Street and Wythe Avenue.
On weekdays, buses travel the full route from Kensington to Williamsburg, via the Brooklyn Navy Yard to serve Dumbo and Vinegar Hill. On weekends, the northern terminal of the line is at Jay Street and Sands Street, and does not continue into Williamsburg. There is no overnight service.
In June 2010, late night service was discontinued, and the B69 bus was rerouted along Seventh Avenue south of the Brighton Line, all in part of the budget cuts. Service was also reduced on both routes so the service on Seventh Avenue was similar to before.
On September 9, 2013, the route was extended into South Williamsburg via the Brooklyn Navy Yard and Vinegar Hill to serve new economic activity. Along with Downtown Brooklyn, both Dumbo and the Brooklyn Navy Yard are part of the Brooklyn Tech Triangle, a cluster of economic activity occurring in Brooklyn.

About The Fire Pack Bubble Hash Sampler
Do you want to try a variety of premium bubble hash? We make it easy for you with our bubble hash sampler containing individually packaged 0.5-gram units of Lillooet Gold, Tundra and God's Green Trip. All were made using organically grown fresh flowers and contain only 45-173µ trichomes from the first wash.
What is Aged Hash?
Hash like a fine wine can be aged for many years prior to consumption. A full spectrum ice water hash also known as bubble hash can be aged like traditional hash to deliver a flavour that you do not get with fresh hash. Like how liquors and wines can be aged in barrels or bottles, our bubble hash is aged in our initial mylar final packages and has not been opened since the date it was final packaged on.
The chemical composition of cannabis varies with age as the main cannabinoids, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabinol (CBN) and their respective acidic forms are unstable to oxidation in air and exposure to UV. Hash from different geographical areas has a different physical appearance, density, elasticity, moisture, flavour and content. This is due mainly due to different ageing processes, storage conditions and the process the hash was created initially through, as samples of hash tested from different geographical areas of the world produced differently to show different degrees of changes in Phytocannabinoids over time.
Therefore, an aged hash is freshly cured hash that has undergone a chemical transformation to be more malleable, smoother in texture, darker in colour, and burn slowly when compared to a fresh hash, while stored at set environmental conditions for a length of time.

The green trip was my favorite, but all of them were excellent!
From beginning to end, the process and product were all first rate!
Love this sample pack idea. I’ve had a couple grams of the Tundra bubble and rosin previously and I’ve also had a couple of the Lillooet Gold bubble before. Both excellent full melt. Maybe a bit of residue for some folks but it’s definitely clean enough for my nail. The Tundra I find to be an excellent sativa that will make your eyes red. The cedrene really pops in it. The Lillooet Gold is a nice hybrid that’s a good all around stone with skunky terps. God's Green Trip Was new to me. This one I would consider a partial melt like the Blueberry Punch. Another great candidate for the Dynavap. The God Bud flavours come through strong on this one. Though not full melt still a very lovely hash. This is a great option for people new to hash to get to try some different degrees of melt and some different flavours. Shows how different genetics can make different qualities of hash. I’ll definitely be grabbing more of these.

This Rasa Malaysia recipe for roast chicken may not be quick & easy, but it does yield really great crispy skin and juicy, well-seasoned meat. Plus, I had all of the ingredients lying around the house except for the chicken. Incidentally, if you are a fan of making Chinese food at home, invest in a bottle of dry sherry. It comes up more than you would think.
- 1 chicken, about 2 1/2 – 3 lbs
- 4 garlic, lightly pounded
- 1-inch piece ginger, peeled and sliced
For the marinade:
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 1/2 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dry sherry
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 dashes white pepper
For the skin coating:
- 2 tablespoon Chinese rice vinegar (clear in color)
- 1 1/2 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon dry sherry
First, I rinsed the chicken and patted it dry. As much as I love roasting chicken, I hate, hate, washing and drying chicken. It is a pain. Anyway, I trussed the chicken following the directions from this very simple video. I didn’t realize it until I read that post, but the reason you truss a chicken is to ensure a juicy breast. Good to know, as I HATE dry chicken breast and consequently, avoid making/eating it.
Next, I mixed the marinade ingredients in a small bowl and rubbed it all over the outside and inside of the chicken. I threw the garlic and ginger inside the cavity and then stuffed the whole chicken into a super huge plastic Ziploc bag and poured the marinade in over the top. Then I put it in the fridge (sitting inside of a large plate in case of leaks!) to marinate overnight, turning the bag once.
The next morning, I mixed the skin coating ingredients together a small bowl. I liberated the chicken from the plastic bag, removed the garlic and ginger in the cavity and scalded the chicken with hot boiling water by pouring the water all over the chicken (I’ve never done this before, but apparently it removes the marinade on the chicken skin.)
I shook the chicken off and aired dried it at room temperature for about 30 minutes or until the skin surface was no longer wet. Then I rubbed the skin coating mixture evenly on the chicken skin and continued to air dry the bird until dinner time using the harness technique I created when I made Peking duck last year.
Near dinner time, I heated up the oven to 400 degrees and roasted the chicken in a roasting pan for about 10-12 minutes breast side up, and then turned it over and roasted for an additional 45 minutes-hour, or until the skin was nicely brown or golden brown and the meat was cooked all the way through. I let the chicken rest, carved it up, and served it with some steamed white rice, drizzling both the meat and grains with the pan juices in the roasting pan.
Like I said up top, this is a bit of a time-consuming recipe. I'm not entirely sure I think it was worth all that effort. BUT it is pretty good, and given that I almost always have the ingredients for it, I wouldn't be surprised if I end up making it again sometime.

Betty Boop is returning to the small screen for the first time in 30 years. There is a new animated series now in the works that will introduce Betty Boop to a new generation of teens and tweens. The cartoon is set to arrive in 2018, and the first season will consist of 26 episodes.
The new Betty Boop series is coming from Normaal Animation in partnership with Fleischer Studios and King Features. Normaal is the same company behind the new Peanuts TV series.
Mark Fleischer, President and CEO of Fleischer Studios, spoke about the new series. According to Deadline, he said:
“We are delighted to be partnering with an innovative production company such as Normaal Animation. My grandfather, Max Fleischer, created Betty Boop as a fun, feisty and fashionable female – and she has proven to be a character for all time. It is extremely gratifying to know that this new television series will introduce Max’s beloved icon to new generations of fans in an engaging, relatable way.”
The title of the series has not yet been revealed. Will your family watch the new Betty Boop series? Tell us what you think.


In 2010, one-third of all American workers were independent – that means freelance, self-employed, or part-time, explains the Freelancers Union. And many of those workers are now seeking new jobs on online freelancing marketplaces like Freelancer.com, which has 7 million freelancers.
On top of that, newly minted freelancers are coming out of hacker schools and online education programs from sites like Coursera and Udemy, which are cheaper than a university education. Cash-strapped small businesses are clamoring for more freelancers, rather than dumping their savings on consulting agencies or full-time employees with benefits. And, as international director Adam Byrnes points out, billions of people worldwide will soon get Internet for the first time, and the first thing they’ll be searching for is a job.
“There’s never been a better time to become a freelancer or to employ freelancers,” he says.
But the freelancing market isn’t without its issues. Many skilled freelancers feel they have no chance against the cheap talent available overseas – talent that, thanks to online collaboration tools, is easier and easier to work with. But according to Byrnes, these freelancers are mistaken.
“We’ve actually done a few studies, and we found that employers always – 99 percent of the time – pick based on reputation rather than price,” he says.
That’s partly the reason why Freelancer.com introduced a new crowdsourcing feature on May 28. Before, only design jobs like a logo or app icon could be listed as competitions, and companies would select winners from among the entries. But now, any job on Freelancer.com can be “crowdsourced” this way, from mobile apps to websites to backend architecture.
This may seem like a chore for freelancers, and it sometimes is. A competition with 500 entries probably isn’t worth a freelancer’s time and effort. But smaller competitions can help newbies with little experience get discovered. It’s arguably a more meritocratic system, an antidote to the “who you know” hiring process that hurts newbies and companies alike when the wrong person is hired.
If you do get hired via Freelancer.com’s new crowdsourced competitions, you’re on the road to more work. Freelancer.com rates freelancers from 0-5, and winning a competition nets you five times the reputation boost of simply completing a project. And even if you lose, you practiced your craft and created something beautiful – more than we can say about an unsuccessful job application.

San Antonio Will Celebrate Diwali Virtually This Year
The annual Diwali SAis taking place this Saturday.
The origins of Diwali differ across the 29 states of India, but here in San Antonio, festival spokesperson Kausi Subramanian described its backstory in general terms.
“It's the celebration of the victory of good over evil. The emergence of light over darkness,” she said. “So really, it's something that anyone and everyone can relate to.”
For the past 11 years Diwali has filled Hemisfair Park with tens of thousands of festival-goers taking in the food, music and culture of all 29 of those states, but with COVID-19, this year that simply wasn’t possible.
“We're basically having an online all-day festival. It's starting at 9 a.m. on Saturday, starting with yoga. And then it moves on to a healthy Indian cooking segment,” said Subramanian.
Next up is their popular and quite physical Bollywood Zumba class. At 11:30 a.m., one of the festival’s most anticipated in-person attractions — getting temporary henna — has morphed into an instructional video on the creation of the dye.
“People come to the Diwali SA looking forward to getting their henna done, and so we're going to show people how they can do their own,” she said.
Diwali continues all afternoon with Indian clothing sales, a how-to on sari wrapping, jewelry sales and more.
In the evening their Happy Hour will reveal how to make Indian-inspired cocktails. Then online viewers can enjoy a talk with popular San Antonio actor Sendhil Ramamurthy.
“He is also currently acting in the CW series "The Flash". So, that's going to be kind of done like a fireside chat type of style,” Subramanian said.
To wrap up, festival organizers created a video with Diwali events from years past, and with online streaming, viewers worldwide can tune in to see Diwali as San Antonio does it, for the very first time. Despite the inability to do Diwali in person, this aspect is a small improvement.
“There’s something good that comes out of everything,” she said.
The evening ends with a traditional candle-flickering diya ceremony, thus light overtakes darkness yet again.

Study Finds Focalin XR Works Quicker Than Concerta
A study has found Novartis’ attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) drug Focalin XR worked better than Ortho-McNeil-Janssen Pharmaceuticals’ Concerta in children two hours after they took it although Concerta worked better 12 hours after dosing.
The study, published in the June Journal of Child and Adolescent Psychopharmacology, compared the efficacy and safety of 20-mg and 30-mg daily doses of Focalin XR (dexmethylphenidate HCl) with 36-mg and 54-mg daily doses of Concerta (methylphenidate HCl) in 84 children age 6–12 with ADHD. The clinical trial took place in a laboratory classroom setting.
“Both doses of [Focalin XR] had a more rapid onset and greater morning effect relative to [Concerta], while [Concerta] had a greater effect at the end of the 12-hour day,” the study abstract said. “All active treatments provided a significant benefit over placebo at most time points to 12 hours post-dosing. Both treatments were well tolerated.” Efficacy for the two drugs was similar at the eight-hour mark.
Primary efficacy was measured by Swanson, Kotkin, Agler, Mylnn and Pelham Rating Scale-Combined scores, a standard assessment tool used in laboratory classroom clinical trials to evaluate attention and behavior, Novartis said. The lead author of the journal article, Rafael Muniz, is a Novartis employee.

The 6 colours available are Grey, Red, Pink, Yellow, Green and Blue. They’re all bold and quite striking, but semi-transparent allowing the fact you’re holding an iPad to show through. I took a look at the Blue one, with a “kaleidoscopic” pattern that consists of a grid of triangles and squares with solid fills or scan-lines. It looks reasonably good, but isn’t a style I would personally pick out, simply because it’s a little too noisy and detailed to be what I would consider a good stylistic fit for the iPad. For those who want their devices to look a bit different, though, the choice of colours is good and the pattern adds that little extra interest to the mix.
The Gelli is definitely lighter and more flexible than the only silicone case I have to hand, the Proporta Mizu Shell, however it demonstrates some rough injection moulding lines, and clear points where the case has been cut from its sprue. The cutouts in the Gelli, however, are far cleaner than those on the Mizu Shell and there’s also a cut-out for the volume rocker, instead of the press-able area of case that the Mizi Shell touts.
Similarly, there’s a cut-out for the power button. This can be seen as a good or bad thing depending on your preference, personally I often find that it’s harder to press these quite small buttons through a cut-out in a case, and prefer having an area of the case which transfers the force of a press to the relevant button. The Mizu Shell demonstrates this both on the power button and volume rocker, but often these rubber/silicone cases are quite firm, making it slightly harder to press the buttons.
When all is said and done, the Gelli edges out the Proporta Mizu Shell slightly with its translucency, but massively fails to compete on price, being a whole Â£10 more expensive than the Proporta alternative. Ultimately, it all boils down to whether or not your personal favourite colour (if it’s available), the pattern, the translucency and the slightly better material with which the Gelli is made is worth the Â£10 premium. To be fair, it’s a tough call to make. If you like what you see, you can pick one up for Â£34.99 at CleverKit.com

Needless to say, Tom Hiddleston is a much nicer guy than Loki, the supervillain he’s played in six Marvel movies and an acclaimed Disney+ series that has just started filming its second season in England.
And despite the ubiquity of the Norse god of mischief, the Cambridge and Royal Academy of Dramatic Art-educated actor has other interests. His stage resume is impressive, as is the lineup of writers he has worked with: Joanna Hogg, Steven Spielberg, Woody Allen, Terence Davies, Jim Jarmusch, Guillermo del Toro, Ben Wheatley. There’s also prestige TV like The Night Manager and now The Essex Serpent, which launched on Apple TV+ in May.
Still, “‘Loki’, ‘Essex Serpent,’ have occupied you for the last two years of my life,” Hiddleston remarks on a warm afternoon in an LA hotel garden.
Of course, there’s been more than Essex and the first season of Loki in recent years. Hiddleston found time in March to propose to Zawe Ashton, his co-star in a West End revival of Harold Pinter’s Betrayal.
“I’m very happy,” is all he has to say, perhaps shy about personal matters since a super-investigated romance with Taylor Swift in 2016. But let’s just start with the latest shows….
“I love playing Loki, I’ve loved playing him every time,” says the actor of Thor’s changing brother. “Each story has had a different iteration, a different director, a different spin on the ball, if you will.”
The “Loki” series is set in a different timeline before/after he was killed in the last two “Avengers” movies. This trickster version is stopped and stripped of his powers, if not his arrogance, by a kind of cosmic bureaucracy, the Time Variance Authority.
“If you take away everything the character knows and understands, what is left?” Hiddleston submits. “Something will be revealed to us and Loki about who he is. The idea of him being subjected to an almost psychoanalytic interrogation with Mobius of the TVA, played by Owen Wilson, and being confronted with repetitive patterns of destructive behavior that only led to his loss and loneliness was extremely compelling to me.”
Another first for Marvel and Loki: he came out as bisexual to the series’ other main nemesis, Sophia Di Martino’s Sylvie, a female variant of himself.
“In my research on the character and the ancient stories, Loki’s identity in terms of gender and sexuality has always been fluid,” notes Hiddleston. “It was a privilege to speak about it this time. I know it’s a small step and there’s still a long way to go, but I hope it made people feel represented.”
Contemporary concerns are also represented in Sarah Perry’s historical bestseller, The Essex Serpent. It’s set in a scientifically burgeoning year, 1893, while superstition still haunts the Blackwater Estuary on England’s east coast. People go missing, a large underwater thing bumps into fishing boats, and some believe a folklore dragon has returned.
Claire Danes plays Cora Seaborne, recently widowed from an abusive marriage and an amateur paleontologist coming from London to do some research. An attraction develops between her and the local married vicar Will Ransome of Hiddleston. All six episodes were directed by another of the actor’s admired auteurs, Clio Barnard (“The Arbor”, “Dark River”).
“I loved the combination of her and the story,” says Hiddleston. “It tackles some very resonant themes: uncertainty, fear, and how fear of what we don’t understand can sometimes collectively distort reality. There’s an ideological debate between science and religion that’s enacted in the dynamic between Cora and my character, the very progressive yet loyal reverend of the community.
“It felt like we were all dealing with so much uncertainty during the pandemic,” he continues. “That’s what it’s about, but of course there’s a very psychological metaphor about the snake, things that lie beneath the surface.”
Hiddleston tried to be a gracious host to his American co-star when they were filming on the Essex salt marshes 13 months ago, but fears he may have gone too far.
“It’s windy and muddy and wet,” he says of the shoot. “Claire has been incredibly playful with all of this. I became sort of a cliche Englishman, endlessly promising that the weather would get better. Every day I thought, ‘It’s getting better, Claire! Just wait, spring is lovely in England!’”
Cliché or a particularly nice guy?
“I was very fortunate when I was younger,” says Hiddleston of his reputation. “I’ve worked with some great actors and I could see that they really cared about the work and were very kind and in that way inspiring. I was younger than Kenneth Branagh and Judi Dench and Chiwetel Ejiofor and Ewan McGregor; these are the best guys that do it.
“I try to be my best self,” he concludes, then adds with a sheepish grin, “It’s hard to talk about.”

Who knows how long two Earth decades is to those creepy invading aliens, but it might as well be a millennium in show business. But Fox today secured a July 3, 2015, release date for Roland Emmerich’s Independence Day 2 – 19 years and one day after the original opened en route to becoming the biggest movie of 1996 and making Will Smith a bona fide movie star. Also slated for Fourth of July weekend a couple of years hence is Universal’s Untitled Illumination Entertainment Project, which is being kept under wraps. Fox also said today that Tim Burton’s adaptation Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children will bow four weeks after ID2 on July 31, 2015. As of now, the pic appears to have that weekend to itself.

Studies of ocular malformations induced by teratogen exposure have been helpful in identifying sensitive periods during development. Microphthalmia and anophthalmia may result from insult at a number of developmental stages. Acute exposure to teratogens during early gastrulation stages results in an overall deficiency of the neural plate with subsequent reduction in size of the optic vesicle. This aberration results in microphthalmia, which may be associated with a spectrum of secondary malformations including anterior segment dysgenesis, cataract, and PHPV.24,27,28 Deficiency in size of the globe as a whole is often associated with a corresponding small palpebral fissure. Because the fissure size is determined by the size of the optic vesicle (most likely during its contact with the surface ectoderm), support is provided for a malformation sequence beginning at the time of formation of the optic sulcus or optic vesicle.
Failure or late closure of the optic fissure prevents the establishment of normal fetal IOP and can result in microphthalmia associated with colobomas, that is, colobomatous microph-thalmia (Fig. 1-27). This syndrome may be associated with orbital (or eyelid) cysts (Fig. 1-28). It is important to recognize that delay in closure of the fissure during a critical growth period may result in inadequate globe expansion. However, if the fissure eventually closes, it may be difficult to distinguish between colobomatous and noncolobomatous microphthalmia. In colobomatous microphthalmia, the optic vesicle size is initially normal and a normal-sized palpebral fissure would be expected, whereas with microphthalmia that results from a primary abnormality in the neural plate and optic sulci, the palpebral fissure would be small.

Sometimes a game can turn as quick as a referee heading back to the video review board for a second look.
That’s what happened in the 90th minute Saturday, when the Union saw Montreal have a game-tying goal scored, wiped away, then reinstated by VAR, on the way to a 3-2 Union loss North of the border.
It befitted the chaos of a game – manager Jim Curtin called it “a crazy game from Minute 1,” among other less printable critiques – which featured a penalty kick by Montreal in the second minute and a pair of yellow cards to Julian Carranza. That allowed Chinoso Offor’s goal in the 90th minute to stand, and then for Romell Quioto to rise over Olivier Mbiazo in the eighth minute of stoppage time to give Montreal (1-3-0, 3 points) its first win of the season.
The Union (2-2-0, 6 points) were playing catchup from the second minute on, when a goal-bound shot hit the arm of Jakob Glesnes. Referee Nima Sagafi correctly – and without assistance – pointed to the spot, and Quioto blasted home the first goal for Montreal on the season.
The Union fought their way back in. It was building all through the first half, testing reserve goalie Jonathan Sirois early and often. Mikael Uhre cashed in just 90 seconds into the second with his first goal of the season from the top of the box, Daniel Gazdag getting the assist. Uhre made it three on the hour-mark, Gazdag freeing him into space down the left wing for the Dane to bury a shot.
But Carranza, who was red-carded in Montreal at the beginning of last season, picked up yellows in the 58th and 69th minutes. The Union stood firm, with Andres Perea and Damion Lowe stepping up to help turn away the hosts in an uncharacteristically chaotic finish.
It escalated when Offor headed home on the doorstep on the 90th minute to tie it, first to a ricochet off the crossbar from a header by Mathieu Choinere. It was originally allowed as a goal, then wiped off by VAR, then the erasure was erased (correctly, Curtin acknowledged) with Kai Wagner keeping Offor offside in what was apparently originally off-screen to the far.
“I’ve never seen anything like that in my life,” Curtin said.
He also didn’t see the Union do much of what they did next, which was have a stoppage-time letdown, Quioto rising to meet at Choinere header in the eighth minute and pump home the winner.


Sleep isn’t any doubt a fundamental part of a general healthy existence study, yet how long sleeping has dropped considerably within the U.S. in the last twenty years. 16 percent of males contributing to a quarter of women experience inadequate sleep.
This insomnia might not simply be causing us to be feel unrested during the day but possibly even result in the growth and development of metabolic conditions. New research finds that women that are pregnant who don’t get enough sleep might be growing their chance of gestational diabetes.
Diabetes brought on by pregnancy
Gestational diabetes, as it would seem, develops while pregnant. It’s just like other kinds of diabetes present in other non-pregnant individuals but has a tendency to usual to couple of signs and symptoms. However, getting the problem increases the chance of dangers towards the developing fetus along with the mother.
If not treated, babies of moms with gestational diabetes are in an elevated risk to be too big, getting low bloodstream sugar after birth, and jaundice. The chance of stillbirth can also be elevated.
Because gestational diabetes carries significant risk for the mother and child, it’s routinely screened for between 24 and 28 days of being pregnant. If gestational diabetes may be diagnosed, bloodstream sugar levels typically go back to normal when the baby continues to be born. However, affected women generally have an elevated chance of developing diabetes type 2 later in existence.
Assessing multiple sleep studies
The research under consideration checked out several studies inside a meta-analysis that incorporated over 17,000 women that are pregnant. All studies assessed for sleeping using self-reported questionnaires except for one, which used accelerometers—a device that fairly tacks quantity of sleep. Gestational diabetes development seemed to be adopted.
The outcomes reveal that women that are pregnant by having an average sleep time period of less than six hrs possess a 1.7-fold rise in the chance of being identified as having gestational diabetes.
Participants who have been a part of studies where sleep was measured fairly where individual patient data is made available and rested under 6.25 hrs every night were built with a 2.84-fold rise in the chance of gestational diabetes development when compared with ladies who rested greater than 6.25 hrs every night.
“This may be the first meta-analysis to locate that both self-reported and fairly measured short sleep duration was connected with elevated blood sugar levels in pregnancy in addition to an increased risk of developing gestational diabetes. More research is required to confirm our findings, and also to see whether sleep extension might be advantageous in reducing the chance of gestational diabetes.”

Below The Mountain | Bendigo Wedding Photographer
Tara & Michael celebrated their wedding day at Sutton Grange Winery at the foot of Mount Alexander, an amazing backdrop for what was to be a particularly cold, wet and windy day for March. The couple chose the comfort of inside to read their vows to each other in front of a toasty open fire surrounded by their nearest and dearest both on ground level and in the wings above! Later they and their bridal party put on a brave face to head outside to capture their portrait session, sharing the paddocks with the local cockatoos. And while we froze the rain in these images, we also froze a moment in time that these two could cherish forever as their best day ever!

Poverty is linked to poor health for many reasons.
People who can’t afford health insurance don’t go to the doctor when they’re sick and often get sicker.
Poverty has been linked to a higher rate of diabetes, high blood pressure and other illnesses.
And without enough money to pay for housing and other necessities, low-income people often eat cheaper, but unhealthy, processed foods.
The Greenville Free Medical Clinic provides care for uninsured residents and medicines to those suffering from diabetes and hypertension, among other conditions.
Now it also hosts a weekly farmers market in partnership with Loaves & Fishes to offer patients an assortment of fresh foods to help improve their health.
Patients eagerly line up each Thursday for the apples, grapes, spinach, carrots and other fruits and vegetables that are provided free.
What’s more, researchers looking at the program’s impact have found that it’s yielding positive health results as well, said Suzie Foley, executive director of the clinic.
Poverty and poor health go hand in hand, said Dr. Georges C. Benjamin, executive director of the American Public Health Association.
“In fact,” he said, “you’re more likely to die many years sooner than those who are more wealthy.”
A recent heartbreaking survey of patients revealed just how needed the farmers market is, Foley said.
Half said they had been hungry in the past 12 months but didn’t eat because they didn’t have enough money for food, she said.
And when asked if the food they bought that week didn’t last or they didn’t have enough money to get more, 37 percent said that was often true while 54 percent said it was sometimes true, she said.
Tifnye Good has been coming to the clinic for about three years.
The 49-year-old Greenville woman worked at a small business for six years, but it didn’t provide any insurance. It’s been hard finding another job since that one ended and she’s still uninsured.
In addition to the regular care she gets at the clinic, she attends a class where she learns how to manage her prediabetes.
And the farmers market has been a big part of that.

“Eating properly was something I could not do without the program because it costs a lot to buy fresh vegetables and fruits,” she told The Greenville News.
“Meats are so high and putting the money you have towards meats, you can’t buy the vegetables,” she added. “Here, you get it fresh and you’re able to cook fresh. I love that.”
Since she’s been getting fresh foods and learning how to prepare them, Good said she has lost more than 60 pounds.
“This has kept me from going into full diabetes,” she said. “And next check, I’m sure I will no longer even be prediabetic. I’m taking no (diabetes) medicines and no drugs for high blood pressure. The clinic has been a major asset for me.”

Neither job offers health insurance.

So the 59-year-old Greer man goes to the Greenville Free Medical Clinic to be treated for type 2 diabetes.
His doctor told him that eating a diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables would make a difference in his condition. But those foods cost more than he can afford on his income.
So Smith, who is a father of two and grandfather of three, joined the diabetes class, began getting healthy food at the farmers’ market, quit eating burgers, fries and other fast food, and is proud to say he’s no longer diabetic.
“The farmers market is a great help for people who really cannot afford a lot of groceries,” he said.
“But I can come here and get an amount of food that I can eat for a week,” he added. “And it’s good, healthy food. It’s made a big turnaround for me.”
Cost and availability
The farmers market, off the clinic waiting room, displays cartons brimming with lettuces, tomatoes, oranges, bananas and other produce nearing its sell-by date from grocery stores and overstocked food warehouses, Foley said. Sometimes fresh dairy and meat products are also available.
It’s a far cry from the boxed mac ‘n’ cheese, white bread, bologna and other processed foods typically consumed because of cost or because there is no grocery store nearby.
“We incorporated this into our program recognizing that many of our patients live in a food desert and are not near a healthy food grocery store,” Foley said. “The other factor for our patients is cost. Fresh foods are often more expensive than the unhealthy foods, like the fast food restaurants with $1 menus.”
The market averages about 150 to 200 patients a month, but feeds about 500 people once their households are factored in.
Along with the market are cooking demonstrations and recipes for preparing the foods in the healthiest ways — baking instead of frying, for example.
“I frequently say, I cooked like my mother cooked and she cooked like her mother cooked,” Foley said. “Culture and the background determines the way you cook and eat food.”
The market gets different products every week. And sometimes it’s produce that clients may not be familiar with, such as bok choy, kale or pomegranates, Foley said. The healthy cooking demonstrations come in handy there, too, by showing patients how good these foods can taste.
“Many of our patients have not had much opportunity to eat healthy foods,” she said. “And there are patients who say, ‘I don’t want that.’ But they see how to fix it and get to taste it. And it’s surprising how many patients say that it’s pretty good.
“Now they feel very comfortable walking through the market line and getting a box of spinach or a carton of mushrooms or a bag of lentils and knowing what to do with it.”
Food and health
Good said she enjoys the cooking demonstrations as much as the food.
“They have different stuff every week,” she said. “And I do love pretty much everything that we’ve prepared.”
“I learn lessons here about cooking and get a lot of recipes. I go home and try them,” he said. “I got away from the fried stuff. I’m doing more baked, grilled and broiled now. And I love steaming vegetables. Baked chicken, green vegetables and brown rice is great.”
The program is based on the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Diabetes Prevention Program, which promotes healthy eating and moderate exercise, Foley said.
And since it began, it’s paying off. A number of patients have lost weight, she said. Once diabetic and prediabetic patients now have normal blood sugar levels. Blood pressures have been lowered too. Some patients have even come off medications.
“Some of the preliminary results show that it is making a difference,” she said. “So it’s encouraging for us to be able to continue to provide healthy foods.”
Good food really is an important part of good health, Foley said. And the lower income population is more vulnerable.
“Men and women who are in low-income households are two to three times more likely to develop type 2 diabetes than higher-income households, for example,” she said.
“Why would we not want to step in and try to turn that around?”

Beartooth Basin plans to operate 100% on biofuels this season. Beartooth Basin instagram photo.
One of America’s oldest ski areas, Wyoming’s Beartooth Basin, has announced plans to become the first ski area to operate all lifts on biodiesel starting this season. The operation, located at 10,000 feet in the rugged Beartooth Mountains outside Yellowstone National Park, is only open during the summer months, catering to big-mountain enthusiasts and those who simply cant put away their ski boots.
The tiny ski area’s two surface lifts have been operating off a single diesel generator since the 1960s. This year, Bozeman, Montana’s Full Circle Biofeuls will provide biodiesel to run the generator. Running this type of fuel at high altitude in questionable weather conditions will require testing.
Accoriding to a press release, the equipment will initially run on a B20 biodiesel blend consisting of 20% locally-produced biodiesel and 80% regular diesel. As the season progresses, plans are to increase the ratio of biodiesel up to B80, and maybe even B100, to see how the generator performs under different weather conditions as biodiesel fuel can congeal at temperatures below freezing.
“We are excited to provide an alpine laboratory at almost 11,000 feet. There are numerous ski areas throughout North America that could benefit from converting to bio-diesel for diesel generators and even snowcats when properly managed. Many thanks to STOKE Certified and Mountain Rider’s Alliance for making the connection as well as Full Circle Biofuels for guiding the transition,” says Austin Hart, Beartooth Basin’s Owner and Operator.

The catalyst to adopt the use of biodiesel fuel was the Summer Shredfest at Beartooth Basin, an annual event hosted by the Mountain Rider’s Alliance. The event’s mission is to reduce emissions, support local businesses, and become a STOKE Certified sustainable event. “We’re grateful to FCB for making this initial step towards 100% biodiesel possible with their expertise and sponsorship of the event and to Beartooth Basin for embracing the idea from day one,” says Jamie Schectman, CEO of Mountain Rider’s Alliance.
TGR is stoked to see a local ski area taking the initiative toward sustainability and reducing emissions, and look forward to seeing some of our favorite IFSA groms compete there at the upcoming Summer Shredfest.

The light emitting diodes are some of the most amazing technological advancements when it comes to the lighting industry. These are small and solid light bulbs which are very powerful and there are a lot of benefits that are likely to come from them. They are also operated in quite a different way as compared to the rest of the traditional light bulbs. The main reason as to why you should consider LED lighting is that it is the most efficient method of lighting a given room. Since they are packed with enough energy, they are very efficient. This means that they are also going to use very little energy as compared to the rest of the traditional bulbs. They are therefore considered to be very important since they are capable of ensuring that the power costs have been reduced and therefore the large amount of money used for the payment of the electrical bills will be used for some other important purpose. These light bulbs also have a very long lifespan some of them are actually able to run for sixty thousand hours as compared to the rest of the traditional incandescent bulbs which are only capable of staying for only one thousand five hundred hours. Unlike the rest of the florescent bulbs that struggle to complete a year while functioning, the LED laps are capable of staying for as long as seven years without them getting destroyed. The amount of money required for maintenance is also saved on. It is therefore very important for you to ensure that you have snatched a led lamp for yourself to continue enjoying these benefits.
The importance of the LED lamps is that they are very safe to use and there are no hazards involved. This is because they actually release very little heat. They are cool to touch even if they are still functioning. Therefore, they also ensure that little energy is lost in form of heat as compared to using the florescent bulbs. Therefore, the importance of the LED lamps is that they are capable of ensuring that dangers have been minimized, dangers that are likely to cause harmful burns and fires. The semiconductors that are used for the manufacture of the LED bulbs do not release a lot of heat like the filaments and they are also not dangerous to use. The semiconductors are non-toxic and they are safer to use as compared to the neon lighting which may contain mercury. Unlike the rest of the florescent bulbs that are used for lighting, the importance of the LED bulbs is that they are capable of ensuring that you have been provided with a variety of bulbs to choose from which provide with different lights. Some of the colors include red and amber and you can also find one that provides with red light.

How to Grow Cauliflower from Seeds
Gardening is a great hobby to have.
It offers not only exercise but also the opportunity to provide your family with healthy, natural produce.
One of the vegetables that many gardeners enjoy growing and harvesting for their families is Cauliflower.
This article will explain how you can grow Cauliflower from seeds so that you can plant them in your garden this year.
How to Grow Cauliflower from Seeds?
Cauliflower is a vegetable that can grow in many different environments but typically grows best at 60 F.(15 C.).
The plant will not thrive below this temperature and risk dying or above it, resulting in the head "buttoning" into small pieces instead of remaining solid as desired.
To avoid these extremes, Cauliflower should be grown early on from seeds then transplanted outside during springtime to maintain optimum conditions for growth.
You can grow Cauliflower all year long, but it is best to plant the seeds in early winter.
Start your plants indoors, sow them about 4-7 weeks before your last average frost date, and water thoroughly after planting.
Keep soil moist by covering with plastic wrap until seedlings sprout.
Cauliflower is not your typical vegetable.
The seedlings usually take 8-10 days to form, but once they appear, be sure that you remove the plastic and keep them moist for optimal growth conditions.
Once these little sprouts are formed, it's essential to make sure they get enough light, so place grow lights or fluorescent lamps just 4 inches above their heads - this will prevent long leggy plants from developing over time.
Transplanting Cauliflower seedlings outside can be a complicated process to get right.
They are sensitive and require careful handling, but it's not too hard if you're prepared for the task.
Transplants should ideally go outdoors 2-4 weeks before your last frost date or when they've reached about 6 inches tall (or sooner).
Before planting them in their new home, make sure that each plant has been hardened off properly by gradually increasing outdoor exposure time from 1 hour up until 5 hours per day.
Depend on weather conditions such as temperature and wind speed - skipping one day of cold treatment may have adverse effects on plants.
How long does Cauliflower take to Grow from Seed?
How quickly do you want your crop of cauliflowers to be ready?
If the answer is less than ten days, start them indoors 5-7 weeks before the last frost.
This will give their roots a headstart, and they'll have an easier time adjusting if transplanted outside then.
Otherwise, expect germination in about 8-10 days when sowing seeds directly into the soil after all danger of freezing has passed.
What is the Best Month to Plant Cauliflower?
Cauliflower is the delicious and often overlooked member of the Brassicaceae family.
Cauli-broccoli, as it's sometimes called (though broccoli doesn't produce side shoots like Cauliflower), thrives in warm weather with temps around 60 - 65 F.
If you're not careful about which temperatures to grow your little veggie at, then expect a lackluster head on top.
When the temperature exceeds 75 F., plants tend to bolt or button.
Cauliflower, which is one of these fast-growing vegetables that are best planted in springtime before summer gets too hot, can be grown and harvested for its head while it's still tiny if you time your planting correctly.
However, not all varieties are suited for this timing--some should be planted mid-summer so they will grow during fall when cold weather sets in again.
If you're looking for something different than Cauliflower with an autumn flavor, then try Romanesco - a pointy green cousin.
How to Water Cauliflower?
It is vital to give your water cauliflower enough love in dry weather.
Water the plants every ten days and make sure that they are completely wet before you stop watering them.
Once the plant begins growing well, add a high nitrogen fertilizer such as sulfate or ammonia, boosting growth for better curds.
How to Fertilize Cauliflower?
Cauliflower is one of the most versatile veggies you can grow.
It grows best when planted in late winter or early spring before a final frost, but it also has some cool-weather growing tricks to keep this delicious veggie flourishing all season long.
Cauliflower does well with its bed and foraging area -- make sure not to overfeed your cauliflowers because they do better without too much fertilizer.
Compost improves soil texture, boosts fertility, and is best applied a few weeks before planting time.
Spread the 2- to 3-inch layer of compost over your garden bed where you'll be growing Cauliflower - or any other plant for that matter.
Work it in with either a spade or tiller so that its nutrients can seep into the top 6 to 8 inches of soil.
Cauliflower is a delicate crop with specific needs when it comes to soil.
It prefers the pH level of 6.5-8 and can be grown successfully if your garden has acidic or alkaline soil that falls within this range.
If you're looking for an organic way to help keep Cauliflower healthy in both types of soils, try using limestone as a treatment solution—it's effortless: mix powdered lime into the water until desired consistency is achieved before watering plants.
Soil pH levels can be improved by adding a soil amendment when you work in compost.
Consult the package to find out how much of your chosen amendment will suffice, then check with a gardening expert for more information about this topic so that no mistakes are made and produce is not wasted.
Cauliflower seedlings are demanding plants, requiring continual care and attention.
To get their growth off on the right foot. Start them with compost tea.
Compost tea is made by soaking aged compost in a clean bin of water for at least one day.
After adding enough clear water to the mixture until it becomes very light brown, pour this liquid onto your cauliflower seedling's soil and leaves.
As a result, they have plenty of nutrients and protection against pests such as aphids or cabbage worms that might be lurking nearby waiting for an opportunity like this.
Your cauliflower seedlings will grow quickly, forming head within a few weeks.
Use this time to give them more nutrients by watering the plants with compost tea as described in the "at planting" section or feeding dry compost side-dressed along each row of Cauliflower every other week.
The latter method is better for organic farms with access to equipment like irrigation systems and water tanks.
How to Harvest Cauliflower?
Cauliflower is a type of vegetable that can be harvested throughout the years, depending on your sow time.
They generally take three to five months from sowing until they are mature for harvesting, but this varies by variety and weather conditions, so make sure to check your seed packet.
Different varieties come in different sizes as well, so it's best not to harvest them too early or too late- wait at least three months after sowing before picking up some fresh cauliflowers.
Harvesting your Cauliflower head too early can lead to a bitter taste.
The leaves are edible, but it's best not to get them wet unless you're using them for soup stock or something similar, as they'll go limp and spoil faster than the Cauliflower itself.
Cut off any brown bits that may be around with a knife (no need to peel) before taking what is known by some foodies as "the king of vegetables" home.
When to Harvest Cauliflower?
Cauliflower is one of the most delicious and versatile vegetables in your kitchen.
Did you know cauliflower heads should reach 6 to 8 inches in diameter before they are ready for harvesting? When it comes time, be sure that the head has a compact shape and firm texture; small but opened-up heads may still need to be harvested.
Cauliflower with coarse-textured leaves means it's over mature and shouldn't make an appearance on our plates or shelves any longer - go ahead and pitch those plants away.
To harvest them properly, cut from their stem 2+ inches so we can store this vegetable safely at home without worrying about wilting too quickly when placed into cold storage packaging like plastic bags inside refrigerators.
Does Cauliflower Regrow After Cutting?
Your cauliflower plant will continue to grow even after you cut off the head.
However, it needs more than just water; give your plants 1-1.5 inches of water per week from average rainfall and watering for them to remain healthy and happy.
Does Cauliflower need Full Sun?
Cauliflower likes to grow in full sun, so they need fertile soil with a pH between 6 and 7.
When starting the garden for your Cauliflowers this year: till it as deep as 15 inches; water regularly throughout the season (once or twice daily).
Next, after tilling up an area of about 2 feet by 3 feet on both sides of a row where you would like to plant your cauliflower seeds - make sure that there is space left at each end, then sprinkle some Miracle-Gro Garden Soil mix into one side and cover everything but 1 inch over the top.
Then keep watering until seedlings appear.
Once these have sprouted from their tiny cocoon shells, remove all dirt except for what was covered initially.
Now that you know how to grow Cauliflower from seeds, it's time to get started.
We hope these tips will help you achieve your goal of growing a healthy and bountiful crop of nutrient-rich Cauliflower this season.

Citrus County spent about half what it expected in the first round of CARES Act grants to small businesses, and commissioners will decide at their Aug. 25 meeting how to proceed with the next phase.
With Friday’s deadline to apply in the first round, the county approved about $1.9 million in one-time $7,500 grants to businesses that were either ordered shut or significantly restricted by government order to curtail the spread of COVID-19.
The county received $6.5 million to provide to companies with fewer than 35 full-time employees to cover business expenses. The money must be spent by Dec. 30; any amount left over is returned to the U.S. Treasury.
The county received 618 applications. Of those 290 were approved, 206 denied and the remainder are still in the review process. Of those approved, the county sent out 255 checks, budget and management director Colleen Scott said.
Officials had expected to spend close to $4.75 million in the first round, based on their estimates that 600 to 650 Citrus County businesses met the criteria for the first round.
Those that were denied either were not closed by government order, or they didn’t have county business licenses.
Oliver said the county may expand the next round to include retail nonprofits, massage therapists and food trucks.
Also, he said, he may recommend the county provide a second $5,000 grant to bars, which still have been unable to open due to government order.
Commissioner Ron Kitchen Jr. said he thinks businesses still hurting, such as restaurants still limited to 50% capacity, should be given a second grant.
“Some businesses haven’t opened at all,” he said during the Tuesday, Aug. 11 board meeting. “They definitely should be at the top of the list.”
Board Chairman Brian Coleman said he thinks the second phase should expand the criteria to include more businesses. For the third round, he said, the county can provide more financial relief to businesses that have not recovered.
“My goal is to get it all out,” he said during the board meeting.
The county is also administering the grant on behalf of the cities of Crystal River and Inverness. Commissioner Scott Carnahan suggested the county invite representatives from both cities to the next board meeting as the second phase criteria is discussed.

Feds Interview Countrywide Whistleblower
Federal investigators have interviewed a former loan officer with Countrywide Financial, the fallen home lender that allegedly gave high-profile clients discounts on their personal home mortgage loans, NBC News reports today.
The whistleblower, Robert Feinberg, apparently spent six hours last week with a six-person team from the Justice Department, including prosecutors from the public integrity section, which handles public corruption investigations, the report says.
Feinberg's attorney, Anthony Salerno, said the Justice Department was starting a "very serious inquiry" into possible wrongdoing involving several public officials.
Salerno said investigators appeared interested in "whether the preferential treatment given to VIP customers was part of an effort by Countrywide to buy influence - as well as on the conduct of each public official who received a mortgage from Countrywide."
Former Countrywide chief executive Angelo Mozilo allegedly personally priced loans to certain powerful clients, according to Conde Nast Portfolio's Dan Golden, who broke the story about the special VIP program this summer.
Among those reportedly getting the discounts were Sen. Christopher J. Dodd (D-Conn.); Sen. Kent Conrad (D-N.D.), former Fannie Mae chief executive Franklin Raines, former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Alphonso Jackson, former Secretary of Health and Human Services Donna Shalala and former U.N. ambassador and assistant Secretary of State Richard Holbrooke, as well as congressional staffers involved in housing issues.
"People are referred into that department as 'very important people.' You're told that your loan is priced from Angelo. As the 'Friends of Angelo department,' (the department) has to give them a sense of importance and explain the reduction of fees and the rate as a result of being a 'Friend of Angelo,'" Feinberg told The Wall Street Journal.
Among the public officials that allegedly benefited from the deal, Dodd has come under the most intense scrutiny. His approval ratings have fallen since a Senate ethics inquiry was announced in June. The Hartford Courant noted that the polling dip is a problem for Dodd considering he is "a key player in the federal response to the financial services crisis, who is gearing up to seek re-election in 2010 for a record sixth term."

Collusion? Look no further than what lawmakers do to stay in power
I have very little respect for Congress for a variety of reasons.
I can't believe the hypocrisy demonstrated by both parties concerning Russia's involvement in our last election. The Russians may have preferred Trump, but I am sure that other foreign leaders tried to help Clinton.
Gerrymandering, an example of collusion, is a common tactic employed by both parties to win elections. It occurred in Florida and cost taxpayers millions of dollars.
There are cases of gerrymandering involving North Carolina, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin before the courts now.
Both parties collude/conspire to ensure that a third party cannot be successful in America. More than 93 percent of members of Congress win re-election. This
is not an example of democracy in action.
We had collusion from Debbie Wasserman Schultz, chair of the Democratic National Committee, to ensure that Hillary Clinton got the nomination over Bernie Sanders. The opposition by both parties to term limits is further evidence of collusion.
We have term limits for the president, governors, state Senate presidents, but none for members of Congress.
Congress has a history of raiding Social Security and overspending to enhance incumbents’ chances for re-election.
Lawmakers collude with lobbyists to spend taxpayers' dollars on foreign aid for undeserving countries. This is while we could never raise $800 million to fix the Lake Okeechobee dike.
Congressional arrogance is further demonstrated by several recent events.
First, Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, asked for an additional $2,500 per month housing allowance due to the high cost of living in D.C.
Second, both parties spent $50 million on the special election in Georgia's 6th District (two-year term).
Now we have the shutdown. The solution is simple: Drain the swamp by voting against all incumbents.

Recently our third-grade class celebrated a student’s birthday, As is our tradition, the student’s parent came to read to our class. This is always one of my favorite times. What’s not to like? I’m on the audience side of the read aloud, and I often discover books that are new to me.
On this particular morning, I was treated to both benefits again. As Sam’s mom (name changed) pulled out the books Sam had chosen, she pointed out the one with Sam’s picture on the front and said, “We brought Sam’s favorite book. It’s about Sam’s favorite topic!” I love the way we all smiled knowingly. There was no bragging quality to it. We collectively smiled because we understood. Of course the “All About Me” Shutterfly-style photo book would be Sam’s favorite. Don’t we all like things that are especially for and about us?
I thought Sam’s mom would flip through a few pages and then move on to the other book she had brought. Instead, she began on the first page and continued flipping pages, telling the stories behind the pictures.
These are pictures of when Sam was born. This is when Sam came home from the hospital. This was Sam’s favorite thing to do: sucking a thumb. This is Sam when…
I was compelled to take picture after picture of Sam’s mom telling the stories of the each family photo. Why? Because of what was happening all around the room. Sam’s mom held the book while Sam, and Sam’s younger sibling, who joined us for the birthday read aloud, were leaning in, periodically exclaiming and pointing, “Oh! That’s the time when…” The rest of the class was riveted as well. Necks were stretched to see the pictures, and smiles and nods accompanied many of the stories.
You might think that a photo book and oral stories of one student’s life would bore a class of wiggly third graders, but evidence to the contrary, these stories held our rapt attention. My theory on why? Because Sam is one of us, so Sam matters to us, and because Sam’s stories are also our own stories. We can relate to the birth stories, and the holiday stories, and the friendship stories, and the family trip stories. We can relate to the stories.
What a powerful opportunity to see the power our personal stories can have on any audience of readers and writers. Makes me wonder how I will capitalize on that power even more!
As this mom left, I thanked her for sharing the book, and told her what I’d observed, promising pictures of those precious moments. In our conversation she pointed out that there is another special aspect to a photo book of memories, and the accompanying oral histories: “They help you remember and they keep the stories alive.”
So true! Isn’t that the reason we write and read?

Drug induced nutrient depletion’s can be a significant contributing factor to a wide range of health problems. Add to the issue: a stressful life with a poor diet, a decline in the food supply’s nutrient content, commercial farmers not replenishing the soil with trace minerals, and environmental pollution – leaving us all vulnerable. As doctors prescribe one or more medications for a particular health issue that create the depletion of nutrients, one may find themselves with another health problem as a result.
This article will address several classes of medications, their nutrient depletions and what one needs to do to prevent or correct other health problems.
Blood pressure medications. Within this class, CoQ10 and Zinc are the common nutrients depleted. If you are using multiple BP medications you therefore are compounding the depletions. CoQ10 is an essential antioxidant and critical for energy production within the cells. If you are taking a blood thinner, this enzyme should not be used without the close supervision of your doctor. Zinc is important for immunity and wound healing.
The Statins. These cholesterol lowing drugs deplete CoQ10. Your LDL cholesterol ”the supposed bad one” is problematic when its oxidized . CoQ10 travels in unison with LDL in the bloodstream to protect it from being oxidized. When LDL is oxidized it will damage the cell walls of arteries. The body will try to repair the damage with cholesterol and plaque deposits, creating inflammation. The heart is also weakened when CoQ10 levels are lowered. CoQ10 is required for energy production, and the heart is the most energy demanding muscle in the body working to drive fluids throughout the body.
Magnesium is also a vital cardiovascular nutrient. It decreases platelet aggregation like ASA, it thins the blood like warfarin, acts as a calcium channel blocker like nifedipine, relaxes blood vessels like ACE inhibitors, and is nature’s muscle relaxant (great for legs cramps, PMS and migraines too). Choose your magnesium wisely. Magnesium oxide is the cheapest and the least absorbed. Magnesium glycinate is best absorbed and can be found at compounding pharmacies or health food stores. Also, if you start taking Mg and are on cardiovascular medications please involve your doctor.
Anti-Diabetic drugs. This class will deplete CoQ10, B12 (metformin) and folic acid. B12 is needed to create the myelin sheath that protects our nerves. Without this protective layer, irreversible nerve damage can occur. B12 is best absorbed in its methylcobalamin form in either sublingual drops or by injection. Folic acid deficiency can lead to depression, anemia with weakness, birth defects and cervical dysplasia.
Anti-inflammatory drugs. If you are taking long-term corticosteroids you need to be on a high dose multivitamin and mineral supplement, as this group depletes A,C,D,B6, B12,B5,folic acid, calcium, Mg , potassium, selenium, zinc, iron, Beta-carotene and melatonin. The NSAID group (i.e. ibuprofen, naproxen) depletes melatonin and folic acid. Melatonin is required to regulate sleep, and acts as a powerful antioxidant as well.
The aforementioned drug induced nutrient depletions are not all inclusive. I simply chose the most important deficiencies which affect our overall health. As always, it is important to be proactive and preventive in the ageing process.

From School Library Journal
Adult/High School-An excellent, comprehensive overview for students with some science background. Less knowledgeable readers will understand much of the introductory material, but may feel intimidated by the small print and crowded pages. The book is arranged in broad sections covering astronomy, physics and quantum mechanics, the universe, our solar system, and space exploration. The table of contents not only outlines the chapters but also includes paragraph summaries of some of the topics covered. Boxed inserts appear throughout. This subject approach will assist general readers, and the detailed index will enable researchers to locate specifics. Thousands of color photographs and diagrams highlight and draw students into the accompanying passages. More balanced in approach than many texts, this volume includes information on non-Western astronomy and math. The extensive reference section includes statistical tables, historical data, mathematical tools, and a summary of laws and formulas.Claudia Moore, W. T. Woodson High School, Fairfax, VA

From Library Journal
This richly illustrated encyclopedia provides an overview of what is known about the universe and of the physics essential to understanding it. Editor of Norton's Star Atlas and Reference Handbook and Oxford's Dictionary of Astronomy, Ridpath has assembled a group of astronomy experts to create a sourcebook covering topics ranging from subatomic particles to galaxies, from the origin of the universe to its future. The articles are two pages long, but almost half the space is occupied by illustrations and sidebars. The eight chapters include "The History of Astronomy," "Contents of the Cosmos," and "Space Exploration," and the reference section offers a glossary, bibliography, directory of web sites, listings of spacecraft missions, mathematical concepts, and celestial data. This encyclopedia is a source of useful information, but it will work better as a supplement, and, unlike the more in-depth Encyclopedia of Astronomy and Astrophysics (LJ 7/01), it is geared more toward undergraduates. The subject-based arrangement makes it challenging to find quick answers, for which Companion to the Cosmos (LJ 2/1/97), with its dictionary arrangement, is more appropriate. Nevertheless, both public and academic libraries with astronomy collections will find this encyclopedia useful and up-to-date. Recommended. Teresa Berry, Univ. of Tennessee Libs., Knoxville

Sarcoidosis triggered by Lyme disease
Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory disease that affects multiple organs in the body, typically the lungs and lymph glands. The exact cause of sarcoidosis is unknown. But some researchers believe it may be a type of autoimmune disease, involving an abnormal immune response.
According to the American Lung Association, an “infection or exposure to something in the environment can trigger the immune system to overreact,” resulting in sarcoidosis.¹ In a 2018 study, van Dee and colleagues suggest that Borrelia burgdorferi, the Lyme disease bacterium, may be one of those infectious pathogens capable of triggering sarcoidosis. ²
Their study entitled “Systemic Sarcoidosis Associated with Exposure to Borrelia burgdorferi in a 21-Year-Old Man” describes the case of a 21-year-old forestry worker who was admitted to the emergency department with a history of headaches, a droopy left eyelid and swelling and redness of both legs.
The patient also had “a stinging pain behind his sternum, fatigue, weight loss, loss of appetite, thirst and nycturia,” the authors wrote.
Results from lymph node and skin biopsies indicated non-caseating granuloma, leading to a diagnosis of systemic sarcoidosis. The condition had impacted the man’s lungs, kidneys and skin.Lyme disease triggers sarcoidosis, an inflammatory disorder that usually affects the lungs and lymph glands. Click To Tweet
Following the sarcoidosis diagnosis, a spinal tap for Lyme disease was performed based on the patient’s exposure to ticks as a forestry worker and his symptoms.
Lyme disease test results were positive. He was treated with a combination of high-dose prednisolone and antibiotics. He also received 2 weeks of intravenous ceftriaxone followed by 4 weeks of oral doxycycline.
“The patient recovered quickly within a few days of starting a high-dose prednisolone regime, and was discharged free of symptoms and in good health,” the authors wrote
Additionally, “Borrelia-like” organisms have been described within biopsy specimens in patients with cutaneous sarcoidosis, according to a 2009 study.³
“Usually single spirochetes, rarely pairs or small clusters of bacteria were observed between collagen bundles or at the periphery of granulomas,” the authors wrote
Clinicians “should maintain a high index of suspicion for underlying infectious processes like neuroborreliosis in patients with new-onset sarcoidosis before starting immunosuppressive regimens,” van Dee suggests.

When Frisco’s Animal Services Department is unable to immediately reunite lost pets with their owners, it transports those animals to the county shelter in McKinney. A group of Frisco pet owners wants that to change.
Members of the Frisco Pet Project group are advocating for the city to construct an animal shelter within city boundaries.
For now, though, the city of Frisco plans to continue its partnership with Collin County, officials say.
As part of an agreement with the county, the Frisco Animal Services Department transports any pets not reunited with their owners in the same day to the county animal shelter.
In 2018, the Frisco Animal Services Department transported a total of 450 animals to the county shelter. The department, which falls under the umbrella of the Frisco Police Department, transported 114 animals in the first quarter of 2019.
Marla Fields is one of the original organizers of the Frisco Pet Project. She said she saw a need for a Frisco-based animal shelter while rescuing cats from local organizations.
“Many of the [rescue organizations] are doing fabulous things, but they don’t have a facility,” Fields said. “They are working in cooperation with the PetSmarts and the Petcos and the Hollywood Feeds to do adoption programs.”
Frisco Mayor Jeff Cheney said city staffers have considered allocating funding to build an animal shelter in the past but determined the benefits of partnering with the county outweighed the negatives.
“We have a partnership with Collin County along with other cities to collaborate as a region to try to provide the most cost-effective services for this need,” Cheney said.
Building an animal shelter would likely be funded through bonds. But the city did not include a shelter among the projects in the May 4 bond election.
“The pros to working as a region is you have a lot more resources available,” Cheney said. “You’re pooling money to service, in our case, the 450 [animals] that were transported [in 2018]. It’s just much more efficient and cost effective.”
Fields said one of the other primary reasons the pet project wants an animal shelter in Frisco is to shorten the commute that residents make when picking up their pets in McKinney.
“Sometimes the hours aren’t conducive to your hours,” Fields said. “And you may not discover that your pet has gotten lost … until after hours, and then the pet has to stay over there.
“You’re also checking The Colony and Plano and Little Elm because, you know, pets don’t know boundaries.”
Cheney said the distance between Frisco and the McKinney shelter is an incentive for the city’s animal services department to locate the owners of lost pets within the same business day.
“What our city staff does is work extra hard to try to bring the pet back to their home,” Cheney said. “Using social media, Nextdoor, waiting until they’ve exhausted their opportunities to actually return that pet to their homeowner has actually proven … to be more effective.”
