The style of your furniture is an essential aspect. If you aren't buying a whole furnishings established (which means a group of furnishings which are easily matched up) make sure that every piece of furniture fits completely with each other. Also, don't pick furnishings with sharp sides, particularly if you have children.
Last is to consider the cost. Expenses of recent furniture purchase ought to be given serious attention. Mindlessly buying furniture you like is a waste of hard earned cash. Take into consideration each of elements above and surely you will have the best house using the best, distinctive bits of contemporary furnishings.

Spinach, White Bean and Pine Nut Galette
Serves 8 (with a 13-inch tart).
Note: This tart is free-form, so if you don’t have a platter large enough to hold a 13-inch round, you can make it smaller, or you can serve the slices on a rectangular platter. Vegans can use shortening in the crust, and mash a Yukon Gold potato to replace the egg in the filling, and use the nondairy cheese of choice. For a vegan egg wash, whisk a tablespoon of agave with a tablespoon of plain soy milk. From Robin Asbell.
• 1 lb. spinach leaves
• 3/4 c. unbleached flour
• 3/4 c. whole-wheat pastry flour
• 1 1/2 tsp. salt, divided
• 8 tbsp. (1 stick) unsalted butter, or shortening
• 1/2 c. plus about 3 tbsp. ice water
• 2 large green onions, chopped
• 1 tsp. dried thyme
• 1/2 tsp. black pepper
• 3 eggs, divided (see Note)
• 4 oz. aged Gouda or Gruyère, divided
• 1 (15-oz.) can navy beans, rinsed and drained, dry
• 3 tbsp. pine nuts
• 1 small roasted red pepper, slivered
Line a large rimless sheet pan with parchment paper (an AirBake works well). Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Bring a pot of water to boil for the spinach. When it boils, add the spinach, stirring as it gets full. Bring back to a boil, just a minute or two, and when the spinach is bright green, drain in a colander. Rinse with cold water, then wring out spinach by the handful. Place the spinach on a kitchen towel, then roll up and twist to wring out as much water as possible. Reserve.
In a large bowl, combine the unbleached and pastry flour with 1 teaspoon salt, and whisk to combine. Using a grater, shred the cold butter into the flour mixture, tossing to coat. If using shortening, cut in with a pastry blender. Drizzle in 1/2 cup ice water, tossing the flour mixture with a fork. As the dough forms, press it together gently with your hands, adding 3 tablespoons ice water, a tablespoon at a time, to moisten any dry flour and mix it into the dough. When the dough holds together, press into a disk, then chill for an hour.
In a large bowl, place the prepared spinach, green onions, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, pepper, and 2 eggs (or mashed potato) and mix well. Mix in half of the shredded cheese, then fold in the beans. Reserve.
Whisk the remaining egg in a cup with 1 tablespoon water to brush on the pastry.
On a floured counter, roll out the dough to a 15-inch round. Carefully fold it in half and transfer to the prepared baking sheet; it may hang over the edges. Spread the filling on the dough, leaving an inch of pastry bare around the edge. Fold 2-inch-wide lengths of the dough over the filling to form a rim. Brush the pastry with the egg and, if there is some left over, spread it over the filling. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and all the pine nuts, and arrange pepper strips on top.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and crisp, and the filling feels firm when pressed in the center. Cool on a rack, then serve.

Let’s talk about nitrates in vegetables versus meat. Are the nitrates in vegetables Vs meat bad for you? Or are these nitrates good for you?
Is there a difference to how our bodies treat and interact with the nitrates in vegetables Vs nitrates in meat? Which of these nitrates is safer to eat? is it better to eat vegetables because of the nitrates and should we avoid meat because of the nitrates in meat?
I will endeavour to answer all of these questions in this article.
There has always been this debate about nitrates in food. We are all too concerned about our health these days and for good reason too. I’d like to know if what I am eating, especially on a regular basis, is good for my health. Or is it possible I’m unwittingly damaging my health.
Time for “travelling in the dark” is far gone. The first thing to note is that; there are nitrates in both plant produce and animal products.
I should say this upfront. I eat a plant-based diet.
But that is not to say, I don’t eat meat. I eat meat, fish and plants but I limit how much meat I eat. So, this article is not written with a vegan bias or anything like that because I am a full-blown flexitarian.
What’s the deal with these Nitrates and Nitrites in our food?
Nitrates are naturally occurring in plant food produce but in animal foods, they are artificially added to preserve these foods.
Nitrates are relatively harmless on their own. It is when they get converted to their subunits that the potential to cause harm arises.
Nitrates have 3 oxygen molecules attached to the Nitrogen atom.
However, nitrates become bioactive when one of the oxygen atoms is removed leaving 2 oxygen atoms attached to the Nitrogen atom. A Nitrogen atom with 2 oxygen molecules instead of 3 becomes a Nitrite.
So, the bioactive form of Nitrate is the Nitrite.
This conversion from Nitrate to Nitrite is trigerred by bacteria, fermentation, acid in the gut and ensuing enzymatic activity. And that enzymatic activity begins in the mouth.
Why Nitrates are good for you?
This breakdown of Nitrate does not stop at the Nitrite step.
If you have ever pondered the question: are nitrates in vegetables bad for you?
Well, you are going to love this analysis below because; it explains why nitrates in vegetables are not bad for you. It will encourage you to eat more vegetables, if anything.
Here it is:
The Nitrite from the nitrate is further broken down to 2 other potential compounds – Nitric Oxide and Nitrosamines (N-Nitroso compounds also called NOCs).
The first piece of good news is; nitrates in vegetables tend to get converted to Nitric oxide more by default. Nitrates in meat on the other hand, have more potential to get converted to N-nitroso compounds for reasons I will explain later on.
You should celebrate Nitric Oxide because you want and need it. Plenty of it. Nitric Oxide optimizes our health in leaps and bounds.
Nitric oxide is beneficial to our health immensely.
What’s weird is that, nitric oxide is actually a free radical but a nice free radical.
Usually free radicals are a ‘nasty piece of work’ as far as health is concerned, but Nitric oxide is one free radical that you don’t want to get rid of. You want it. Why?
…because Nitric oxide is a biological signalling molecule that enhances the function of the lining of our blood vessel walls. Not only that, Nitric oxide also protects the organelle in every cell of our body called the mitochondria.
Mitochondria is where energy production takes place. Every cell needs to make its own energy to function. That production factory is called mitochondria.
As it happens, Nitric oxide made from nitrates protects these tiny mitochondria organelles. This guarantees continuous efficient energy production.
The job of the Nitric oxide is to make the blood vessels walls pliable and more compliant. This enhances unhindered blood flow inside our blood vessels. Meaning oxygen and nutrients are carried to our tissues much more readily.
This allows for optimal health because this function of Nitric oxide lowers your global blood pressure – a recipe for control of high blood pressure.
Now you know why we advice you to eat beets, spinach, kale, celery, collard greens to lower high blood pressure or maintain a normal blood pressure. Nitric oxide supplied from the nitrates in these vegetables is the reason why.
Talking about optimal health, nitric oxide from nitrates in vegetables also prevents the stickiness of blood because it prevents what we call platelet aggregation. This activity thins your blood and helps prevents strokes and blood clots.
Why nitrates may be bad for you?
Nitrates can be a double-edged sword. They can swing either way.
As I said earlier, nitrates when broken down to nitrites could either become nitric oxide which we love and covet or become N-nitroso componds (NOCs) which you don’t want to touch with a barge pole.
These Nitrosamines (N-Nitroso compounds also called NOCs) are not really health-friendly. If you ever wondered about nitrates in food side effects, it is these N-nitroso compounds that are to blame. And I will talk about these nitrates in food side effects shortly.
Nitrosamines are bad news for your health.
The good news is that the nitrates in vegetables don’t appear to form the dreaded N-nitroso compounds. It is the nitrates from meat that tend to form these nasty N-nitroso compounds (NOCs).
Straightaway that’s the essential difference between nitrates in vegetables vs nitrates in meat. I shall explain later why the nitrates in vegetables behave differently to the nitrates in meat.
There’s plenty of evidence to support the notion that nitrates in meat are harmful.
Here is one.
This analysis done by the World Cancer Research Fund found that eating just 1.8 ounces of processed meat per day — about one sausage or two to three slices of bacon — raised your likelihood of bowel cancer by 20%.
Are environmental Nitrates harmful?
From the epidemiological standpoint, nitrates are seen as harmful to human health. That is the reason there are regulations as to how much nitrate can be allowed in our drinking water. The amount of nitrate allowed in drinking water should not exceed 50 mg/l.
Because there is a risk of blue baby syndrome or what in medical parlance is called Methemoglobinemia. Young babies especially under 6 months of age are not able to deal with a large nitrate load. That environmental nitrate regulation is therefore essential.
The amount of nitrates in the soil is also subject to regulation. Why is this?
Excess nitrate in the soil will lead to a huge concentration of nitrates in our fruits and vegetables. We want some nitrates in our vegetables but we do not want excess nitrates in our plant produce.
More evidence to support the difference in Nitrates in Vegetables Vs Meat?
Well, the truth of the matter is research seems to tell us that there is a difference between nitrates in vegetables Vs meat.
The most studied vegetable is beetroot. There’s plenty of research evidence to support the beneficial effects of beetroot. This study even went further to look at the dose-dependent response of athletes to beetroot juice. It looked at cardiovascular health enhancement of beetroot juice and exercise performance.
The evidence seems to support the view that nitrates from vegetables like beet, celery, spinach, kale etc are safe and actually good for you.
Gunter Kuhnle, a professor of food and nutritional sciences at the University of Reading in the UK says:
“The nitrates in vegetables may be beneficial. When you eat nitrates, they are converted to nitrites by bacteria in your mouth”
Nitrates from animal sources however are not really naturally occurring. Nitrates in meat are added as preservatives.
The most commonly used nitrate in animal products is Sodium Nitrate. This and other nitrites are added to the meat to stop the growth of deadly bacteria. That way, you can eat your meat safely without the risk of food poisoning.
The nitrates and nitrites in meat also enhance the flavour of the processed meat whilst conferring on it a red or pinkish colour. What kind of meat are we talking about?
We are talking about hot dogs, bacon, chorizo, pepperoni, ham, bacon, sausages, pastrami and salami. These processed meats contain artificial nitrates or nitrites in them. The nitrates in these processed meat are thought to be harmful to health.
There is a reasonable association between meat consumption and colorectal cancer and a possible explanation seems to be the nitrate in the meat.
This study examined the association of red meat, processed meat, and poultry consumption with the risk of early death in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC).
The study conclusion:
“The results of our analysis support a moderate positive association between processed meat consumption and mortality, in particular due to cardiovascular diseases, but also to cancer”
Why are the nitrates in vegetables like beet, celery, kale, spinach, arugula not harmful and the nitrates in meat harmful?
This question is not a very straightforward one but I shall do my best to clear the muddy waters.
For a start, it doesn’t matter the source of the nitrates. Whether you get your nitrates from vegetables or from meat, the increase in the amount of nitrates or nitrites absorbed into the circulation is essentially the same.
So, something else must be going on for this differential outcome between plant nitrates and meat nitrates.
Here’s what’s going on:
About 12 g of proteinacous material is offloaded into the large intestine every day. 50% of that is from dietary sources. This amount might vary a little bit depending on how much dietary protein is consumed and the physical form of the food consumed.
A careful breakdown of all of this consumed protein load takes place by bacterial action leading to deamination, decarboxylation and fermentation.
This process is dynamic, hence a higher concentration of amine byproducts are found in the tail end of the gut – the colorectal region compared to the earlier aspects of the intestines.
These amine substances react with nitrosating compounds leading to formation of N-nitroso compounds(NOCs) which are basically nitrosamines. These nitrosamines are not nice.
Nitrosamines (N-nitroso compounds) have been implicated in mutations and hence carcinogenicity.
This explains why the damage by these toxic substances is a lot more serious. For instance, cancers in the colorectal region. Mainly because the large intestines is a very fertile site for nitrosation and formation of nitrosamines, phenols and cresols.
But why does the nitrate in meat cause harm to health and nitrate in vegetables not lead to harm?
A scholarly explanation for nitrates in meat causing cancer has to do with the presence of heme-iron in meat as opposed to presence of non-heme iron in vegetables like celery, spinach, beet, kale, arugula.
Here’s what I mean.
We’ve already agreed that bacterial action in the large intestine acting on nitrates and nitrites leads to formation of toxic compounds like nitrosamines, phenols, cresols etc through fermentation.
Obviously this fermentation foisted by bacterial action applies to both meat and vegetable foods, right?
But the essential difference is the heme factor.
It would appear that the heme in the meat products up-regulates the formation of these potentially carcinogenic substances. You end up with more of these toxic mutagenic substances that are harmful to health when you consume meat.
Plus meat has saturated fat which may play a contributory role too.
Here’s what Professor Kuhnle had to say on the subject:
“What makes processed meats so ideal for forming N-nitroso compounds is that they have a combination of nitrite and proteins from the meat. And the meat’s heme seems to help convert them into N-nitroso compounds”
In contrast, plant foods like beet, celery, spinach, kale, collard greens (even though have nitrates) have non-heme iron and no saturated fats, so you have lower levels of these potentially harmful substances being formed. The levels do not reach a threshold that could induce colorectal cancer.
In addition to that; plants have hundreds of micro-nutrients that meats do not possess and these extra micronutrients in vegetables may offer our bodies a protective effect against cancer.
For instance, vegetables have Vitamin C and polyphenols that make it a harder task for nitrosamines to form. Meat hasn’t got Vitamin C nor does meat have polyphenols. This point should not be underestimated.
Hence, in the nitrates in vegetables vs meat debate, vegetable nitrates are safer for the human body to deal with. Meat nitrates on the other hand are potentially carcinogenic.
So, the bottomline is nitrates in meat are best avoided if you want to prevent colon cancer.
What can you do to make your meat safer?
See video below. You can make your bacon safer by using that preparation technique in the video below for your bacon.
Frying your bacon, baking it, broiling it or cooking in a baconer produces the most nitrosamines. The method in that video according to research produced the least amount of nitrosamines, hence it is recommended.
You may also use nitrate-free bacon, nitrate-free sausages, nitrate-free ham, nitrate-free hot dog.
Use any of those, if you are someone who cannot do without processed meat in your diet.

"Most publishers send out 100 to 200 galleys/books to reviewers (this number will vary depending upon how well known you are, if you’re a first time author, the size of your publisher, etc.). These promotional copies go to recognized book reviewers and A-listers in a segment. I decided to target a different review audience. I own a site that aggregates RSS feeds from about 20,000 bloggers. I offered a review copy to all 20,000 people no matter what their blog topic; 1,300 requested a copy, and we sent one to anyone who asked. I also used eCairn to identify the key social media bloggers and offered a copy to them, too. Because I wanted broad adoption of the ideas in this book, my goal was to get reviews in as broad a spectrum of blogs as possible, instead of only the usual book review and business blogs. All told, we sent out approximately 1,600 copies. This resulted in approximately 150 interviews and 200 reviews before the book was available. These reviews appeared in blogs that covered areas ranging from beauty products to dog training. The amount you can expect to pay for something like this depends on how you count the cost of a galley or a book plus shipping. A good estimate is $10 per book or galley including shipping, so this cost $16,000, but my publisher paid for this, not me. I also compiled all the reviews on a webpage for two reasons. First, to create the overwhelming impression that reluctance to read the book was futile. Second, to acknowledge all the reviewers for their hard work. The lesson here is to cover the earth with as many product trials as possible. Don’t focus on only the A-listers — “nobodies” are the new somebodies in the flattened, social networking world we now live in. You never know who’s going to make your product “tip.”"

CSR initiatives, organizational performance and the mediating role of integrating CSR into management control systems: Testing an inclusive model within SMEs in an emerging economy
Source of Publication
Journal of Management Control
This paper addresses a current gap in the literature by investigating the mediating role that integrating corporate social responsibility (CSR) into the management control systems (MCS) of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can play in the relationship between CSR initiatives and organizational performance. We propose, and empirically validate, an inclusive model to examine these relationships. The study then extends further by embedding two constituents of CSR integration into MCS: namely, management control technology and involvement of management accountants in CSR management. Our study is distinguished by validating, as a contribution, a single construct for each of these two constituents. Data were collected from 117 SMEs in an emerging economy, Abu Dhabi-UAE. PLS structural equation modeling was used in the data analysis. We find that CSR initiatives in SMEs influence organizational performance both directly and indirectly through MCS. Interestingly, the results show that only the involvement of management accountants in CSR management mediates the relationship between CSR initiatives and SME performance. This indicates that the role of human intervention prevails over technology intermediation in conveying the positive effect of CSR initiatives on organizational performance. Overall, the findings help to understand how MCS is an important driving mechanism whereby SMEs may derive performance outcomes from deploying CSR initiatives. The study concludes with implications for future research and policy-makers.

Are you happy with the console you bought last year with regards to the PS4 and Xbox One launch consoles? Sony appears to be in a very good place at the moment, as we’ve heard from the company this week talking about the ‘lead’ that they have gained over Microsoft’s console.
While you may disagree with how the current next-gen console war is going, Sony are very confident it seems. It’s no surprise that the system is a massive step up from the PS3 experience, but in Sony’s opinion their secret to success is all down to listening to developers.
Sony’s Fergal Gera has given an interview this week, revealing that the PS4’s great start since November is due to listening specifically to want developers wanted to see with the new system.
A quote on the current status of the PS4 according to Gara:
“It is as simple as that. PS4 is much easier to develop for, and it is performing and packing the punch that developers want. We came up with the right product at the right price, for the right core audience to get us off to a strong start. We think we’ve done that very, very well.”
A lot has been made about the PC-like architecture underneath the hood and there’s no doubt that developers now seem to treat the PS4 with open arms, perhaps in a different way that we didn’t see during the PS3 era.
Is the PS4 easier to develop on, compared to the Xbox One though? That’s the interesting question which we’ll find out over the space of this year – bear in mind that the PS4 also appears to have an edge when it comes to outputting at full 1080P HD, where the Xbox One has been shown to struggle in this department.
It’s all down to personal preference of course, but it definitely looks like the battle is going to be a much closer affair compared to previous-gen.
What do you think of Sony’s confidence? Are you very happy with your PS4 right now?

Obama pic sets record for retweets
November 8, 2012
Viewership for this year’s presidential election results may have been down on television, but it set some records online.
Barack Obama’s tweet announcing that he had won re-election became the most-retweeted tweet in the history of Twitter.
Issued at 11:16 p.m. Eastern time, just minutes after most of the networks had declared him the winner, Obama’s tweet said simply “four more years” and linked to a photo of him embracing wife Michelle Obama.
The photo was retweeted more than 781,000 times as of this morning.
And the same picture posted on Facebook became the most-liked photo in the site’s eight-year history, drawing more than 3.9 million “likes” as of this morning.
Twitter clearly saw an election boost. The site reported 30,000 tweets per second at the height of the election results tabulating on Tuesday night, and it served up 31 million election-related tweets on the day.

Bangkok is home to dozens of ultra-malls — bewildering, sprawling, high-tech retail centers. Malls in the United States pale by comparison. Siam Paragon is the equivalent of more than half-dozen Lenox Malls stacked on top of each other. Central World — rebuilt after it burned down during the riots two years ago — is less swanky, but just as multi-layered and frantic.
Terminal 21 at the Asok SkyTrain Station is a mall so huge it’s designed like an airport terminal, with each of eight floors decorated as different world cities. Shoppers “depart” Rome and arrive, via escalators, in San Francisco, Tokyo, London, Hollywood, Istanbul, or Paris. Storefronts (and even the restrooms!) feature elaborate architectural touches. On the Istanbul level, awnings, hanging lanterns, columns carved with whirling dervishes, and twisting passageways lend the knick knack shops a Turkish ambiance, while the restrooms in London are Tube stations (complete with life-size replicas of subway trains).
Low labor costs and the Asian passion for live demonstrations guarantee that something is always going on, from candy-making (above) to fashion shows to quintets playing pop tunes rewritten for stringed instruments. The result is a fusion of theme park and live theatre unlike anything else on the planet.
In direct opposition to American trends toward diversity and financial caution, Thai consumer culture is all about class distinction and conspicuous consumption. Your skin can never be white enough. You can never be thin enough. You must drink any number of concentrates and tinctures in order to have glossy hair, clear skin, and a higher IQ. Perfection awaits, just one laser treatment, liposuction session, and one “caucasian eye cosmetic surgery” away.
The paler you are, the more likely it is that you have escaped the laborer class and moved into office work; as a result, there are hundreds of bleaching creams on the market (and Thai women with faces actually painted clown white in an attempt to look even paler than bleaching can achieve). Billboards proclaim that “Whiter is Better,” and every single face in Thai commercials and on Thai fashion magazine covers makes me look tan by comparison.
The thinner you are, the more likely it is you’ve stopped eating street food and switched to more expensive gourmet offerings from megastores and grocery chains. And you are taking supplements, aren’t you? Because without them, you’re just average … and no one wants to be just average, do they?
Bangkok is three worlds in collision. Here, tranquil temples, saffron-robed monks, and crumbling ruins. There, inside the malls: air conditioned paradise, populated with the young and beautiful. And there, outside the malls: sprawling, steaming streets teaming with the dark-skinned, unkempt masses. And everywhere you look, there is a billboard, giant video screen, or poster making it very, very clear which world *everyone* should aspire to.

Jeremy Denk Contributes Article to The New Yorker, "Every Good Boy Does Fine: A Life in Piano Lessons"
Jeremy Denk has written a personal history for The New Yorker titled "Every Good Boy Does Fine: A life in piano lessons." In the article, his second contribution to the magazine, Denk offers insight on the relationship between music students and teachers by recounting a few such relationships in his own life. The New York Times, reviewing Denk's solo recital at Carnegie Hall last week, says his “colossal interpretations conveyed the sense of composers grappling with the ineffable, inventing new vocabulary to express the inexpressible." Following his recent solo debut at Boston's Jordan Hall, the Boston Globe exclaimed: “Denk gave a revelatory performance ... It would be foolish to understate how remarkably talented he is.”
About this Album
Click HERE to read Jeremy Denk's Ligeti/Beethoven liner note.
Nonesuch releases the label debut from acclaimed pianist Jeremy Denk, Ligeti/Beethoven, on May 15, 2012. The solo recording features Ligeti’s Piano Études, Books One and Two, which Denk memorably performed in a series of recitals in 2011. The New York Times said his reading of the works left “audience members grasping for superlatives at intermission.” The sets of études, six from Book One and seven from Book Two, bookend Denk’s recording of Beethoven’s Sonata No. 32 in C Minor, Op. 111, on the album. The Times said of Denk’s 2010 Mostly Mozart Festival performance of the work: “This account, alive to every suggestion and nuance in the score, was an absolute joy to witness. Mr. Denk, clearly, is a pianist you want to hear no matter what he performs, in whatever combination—both for his penetrating intellectual engagement with the music and for the generosity of his playing.”
In his Ligeti/Beethoven liner note, Denk explains his reasons for recording these works together: “One curious connection…is the way both Ligeti and Beethoven relate themselves to jazz (and to syncopation, rhythmic dislocation generally). Many people get disturbed, or confused, by Beethoven’s anachronistic boogie-woogie; but I can’t help thinking that however unlikely, this is an outgrowth, too, of ecstasies latent in the holy theme. There is a sense of ecstasy, too, in the discombobulations of Ligeti …
“But the most significant connection for me is between Beethoven’s vast timeless canvas and Ligeti’s bite-sized bits of infinity. Almost every étude visits the infinite; Ligeti uses it almost as a kind of cadence, a reference point. From simplicity, he ranges into unimaginable complexity; he wanders to the quietest and loudest extremes; he veers off the top and bottom of the keyboard. Always the infinite is lurking around, reminding you that it’s not impossible, that it exists. I think of the way, among other things, Beethoven drifts off at the end of the Arietta, the way he indicates ending without ending, implies an infinite space of silence surrounding the work.”
Jeremy Denk has steadily built a reputation as one of today’s most compelling and persuasive artists with an unusually broad repertoire. He has appeared as soloist with many major orchestras, including the Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, New World, St. Louis, and San Francisco symphonies, The Philadelphia Orchestra, Orchestra of St. Luke’s, Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, and Philharmonia Orchestra in London. He appears often in recital in New York, Washington, Boston, and Philadelphia. Denk maintains working relationships with a number of living composers and has participated in many premieres. Denk’s recording of music by Charles Ives, released on his own Think Denk Media label, made many Best of 2010 lists, including those of the New York Times, Boston Globe, Washington Post, and New York magazine. He also is an avid chamber musician and a respected writer, both on his blog and in such publications as The New Yorker.

Parish workers in line for a pay raise
Published: Monday, June 25, 2012 at 9:31 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, June 25, 2012 at 9:31 a.m.
Pay hikes are on the agenda for parish workers at the next Lafourche Parish Council meeting.
The council will meet at the Mathews Government Complex at 5 p.m. Tuesday.
The council will decide on approving a 2 percent cost-of-living pay increase for parish employees. The measure would make parish employees eligible for a 2.5 percent merit increase based on evaluations.
The increases apply to all parish employees not paid by federal grant money. The increases also do not apply to the parish president or council members whose pay is set in the parish charter.
After hearing concerns last year about the relatively small amount of increase for some of the parish’s lowest-earning jobs, Parish President Charlotte Randolph set the minimum increase at 25 cents per hour.
The council approved similar increases last year.
The council will also discuss funding for the new parish prison.
Councilman Lindel Toups said parish officials have agreed that a 600-bed facility should be built to replace the current three-decade-old facility, which has infrastructure and space problems. But where to get money for the project hasn’t been decided.
Randolph said the parish is working to see how much it can pay for through existing taxes before considering a new tax to pay for the prison.
The council is also set to recommend an architect to plan the prison.
In other action, the council will discuss the distribution of recreation money to individual recreation districts across the parish.
The council previously approved a supplemental appropriation for the individual recreation districts. Randolph said because of the BP oil spill, appropriations for recreation were left intentionally slim in anticipation for dropoff in tax collections.
But as tax collections were healthy, the parish restored typical budget balances for the recreation districts.
Seeing some districts were receiving more than others, some parish council members complained that the method used to give the districts money is unfair.
The administration is scheduled to present its method for appropriating money to the districts before the council discusses potential changes.
The meeting will also involve ordinances banning alcoholic beverages and smoking at youth activities at parish recreation parks and facilities.

Excerpts from Smith's Los Angeles Times columns--lots of L.A. nostalgia, lots of good-humored defense of the city, little that travels very well outside the immediate area. Smith likes the freeways (they provide time alone to think). He likes the earthquakes (""they point up the human faculty for worrying about the wrong things""). He even likes the Getty Museum and plastic trees along the boulevards (""They won't engage publicly in sex""). He doesn't like all those anti-L.A. articles (by Jan Morris, et al.) or the fact that ""our current novelists feel almost obliged to throw in a couple of paragraphs about what a terrible place Los Angeles is."" But most of all he likes to summon up L.A.'s past, answering such questions as ""Was there really a Ptomaine Tommy, and did he invent the dish we call the 'size'?"" Or: ""Was there really a Montmartre restaurant on Hollywood Boulevard where all the stars ate out and Joan Crawford danced the Charleston?"" Or: Where was Lana Turner really discovered? (It wasn't Schwab's drugstore, folks.) Or: Did the stars really wait on tables at the Hollywood Canteen? (Alas, no.) A speck of movie-fan appeal, then--but mostly these pleasant little snippets are strictly for local consumption, full of references and jokes sure to be lost on anyone east of Burbank.

The accuracy and reliability of the main components of travelling wave natural frequency is the key of travelling wave in the fault location method based on the natural frequency. To avoid the problem that traditional algorithms rely on a single primary natural frequency are not reliable, a new method considering the global primary natural frequency which is stroked by the fundamental and harmonics is proposed. The calculated fault distance is more accurate and reliable. And the key in the extraction of the natural frequency of the main ingredient adopt the ensemble empirical mode WVD algorithm to improve frequency resolution while effectively suppressing white noise, thus further improving the location accuracy. Simulation experiment by EMTDC show that the method proposed in this paper can get better stability, higher reliability, reduce ambient noise, and the position is not affected by fault distance or other factors.

Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes, and unlike type 1 diabetes, it usually occurs in people over the age of 40, especially those who are overweight. Type 2 diabetes is caused by insulin resistance, which means that the hormone insulin is being released, but a person doesn’t respond to it appropriately. Type 2 diabetes is a metabolic disorder that’s caused by high blood sugar. The body can keep up for a period of time by producing more insulin, but over time the insulin receptor sites burn out. Eventually, diabetes can affect nearly every system in the body, impacting your energy, digestion, weight, sleep, vision and more. (5)
This makes Darkes' story seem less plausible, said Dr. Matthias von Herrath, a professor of developmental immunology at La Jolla Institute in California, and an expert in type 1 diabetes. This type of claim is "earth-shattering," he said. "If it's not well corroborated, it's like your grandmother's rumor kitchen" — there's nothing backing the story. If there is a clinical record and the data are clear, the doctors should publish a case report, Von Herrath told Live Science.
The diabetes health care team also will let you know what your child's target blood sugar levels are. In general, kids with type 1 diabetes should test their blood sugar levels with a blood glucose meter at least four times a day. Depending on your child's management plan and any problems that arise, blood sugar levels could need to be tested more often.
So, let's understand why a cell does not accept the Insulin fast enough. A healthy cell has a Sodium:Potassium ratio of 1:8. This varies a little from person to person depending on the amount of activity he/she does. A diabetic cell on the other hand has a very bad ratio. Any naturally available food always has more Potassium and less Sodium. When heated, Potassium is lost but Sodium is retained. And we add more Sodium to the food in the form of salt. We only require about 500mg of Sodium per day for normal activities which is naturally available in all types of food even without adding in the form of salt. A person who does more physical activity as part of his job or is an athlete etc. will require more Sodium not exceeding 2000mg. On the other hand, Potassium requirement is around 4700mg.
According to TCM, Xiao-ke is attributed to three main factors: improper diet (consuming large quantities of sweets, fatty or greasy foods, alcohol, and hot drinks such as hot coffee or tea), emotional disturbances (stress, anxiety, depression,) and a constitutional Yin deficiency (fatigue, weakness, lethargy, pale complexion).7 To the Western ear, TCM diagnoses sound esoteric, even poetic. In the case of a person with diabetes presenting with symptoms of excessive thirst, the diagnosis can be described as kidney Yin deficiency along with lung Yin deficiency and “internal heat that consumes fluids, thus bringing on wasting and thirsting.”7
Western or conventional therapies for diabetes have been geared toward regulating blood glucose with a combination of diet modification, insulin and/or oral pharmacological agents, weight loss when appropriate, and exercise. Although Western medicine and Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) share the diabetes treatment goals of reducing symptoms and preventing complications, their approaches to conceptualizing, diagnosing, and treating the disease are very different. This article will outline the key concepts and therapies of TCM that play a role in the evaluation and treatment of diabetic patients.
Momordica Charantia goes under a variety of names and is native to some areas of Asia, India, Africa and South America. Marketed as charantia, it is also known as karela or karolla and bitter melon. The herb may be prepared in a variety of different ways, and may be able to help diabetics with insulin secretion, glucose oxidation and other processes.

The three primary types of diabetic medication include oral diabetes medication, insulin, and other types of injectable diabetes medicine. Within these broad groups, diabetic medication can be classified more specifically as belonging to certain classes. The following article provides a list of diabetic medication broken down by type and class of medicine.
Aside from the financial costs of diabetes, the more frightening findings are the complications and co-existing conditions. In 2014, 7.2 million hospital discharges were reported with diabetes as a listed diagnosis. Patients with diabetes were treated for major cardiovascular diseases, ischemic heart disease, stroke, lower-extremity amputation and diabetic ketoacidosis.
You can talk to your diabetes health care team about planning your exercise along with your meals and insulin. They'll offer specific suggestions to help you get ready for exercise or join a sport and give you written instructions to help you respond to any diabetes problems that may occur during exercise, like hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), or hyperglycemia (high blood sugar).
This medical-grade polyester is currently used in teeth guards that kids and adults wear at night, in tiny tubes used to guide the growth of damaged nerve fibers and in surgical sutures. Researchers are also looking at PCL’s potential as an implant to deliver medications directly to the eyes and to tumors and as a scaffold for growing human tissue. PCL may be an ideal package for islet cells, the studies note, because it can be used to create thin, flexible membranes with pores that let in glucose and nutrients, let out insulin and exclude bigger immune-system molecules.

You should have no more than three of these “feeding times” per day. The reason limiting the number and duration of your meal times is so important has to do with staying out of the vicious cycle of increasing insulin resistance.

January 28, 2021 marks the undecennial Bell Let’s Talk Day, on which one of the Canadian telecommunications leaders Bell Canada donates 5¢ towards mental health initiatives for every applicable text, call, tweet with #BellLetsTalk hashtag, social media view, or use of a branded filter. With online events, this year’s campaign has a special focus on the pandemic and its impact on the mental and emotional health of Canadians.
“With COVID-19 affecting every aspect of our lives, Canadians are feeling the impact of the pandemic on their mental health,” Bell writes on its campaign page. “Now more than ever, mental health matters and every action counts.”
To celebrate, Bell Let’s Talk is hosting virtual events to boost awareness and education about mental wellbeing, including special program “In This Together,” webinars, documentaries, and TIFF screenings. In Newfoundland and Labrador, over 2,400 junior high students will receive free breakfast and engage in a discussion of youth mental health.
In conversation with the Toronto Star, Bell Let’s Talk chair Mary Deacon said that the organizers wanted to put the psychological ravages caused by the pandemic at the forefront of this year’s Bell Let’s Talk Day.
“When we began planning in April for what would be Bell Let’s Talk 2021, it was evident we needed to acknowledge the reality we’re all living in, and what the research is showing on the impact of the pandemic on people’s mental health,” said Deacon, who worked at Centre for Addiction and Mental Health for ten years.
“Every person I talked to would inevitably talk about the struggle they were having with the social isolation, the lack of routine, the fear of the future.”
Celebrity ambassadors of the 2021 campaign include Michael Bublé and Maxim Martin, who both appear on social media promotional videos that raise 5¢ per view.
In 2020, Bell Let’s Talk Day set a new single-day record with 154,387,425 messages across all platforms, raising $7,719,371.25.
For those unsure of how to initiate dialogue about mental health, the campaign also offers a conversation guide to facilitate community and interpersonal discussion. The guide recommends example scripts, talking points, and exercises.
“There are important reasons to start talking about mental illness,” the toolkit reads.
“While one in five Canadians will experience a mental illness at some point in their life, most will be cautious about talking to a coworker, friend, or family member about the issue, let alone seek treatment.”
The Bell Let’s Talk initiative, however, has received its fair share of criticism from detractors, who allege it is but a marketing tactic under a veneer of goodwill and charity.
In 2019, Jasmine Vido conducted a critical investigation of the campaign as her master’s thesis at the University of Windsor. She argued that Bell is reaping “financial reward in exchange for the publicity of the campaign” that has helped the country’s largest telecommunications company one-up its competition.
Vido argued that Bell turned mental health awareness into a commodity that the company sows and harvests. The campaign “makes people feel socially responsible” to eradicate the taboo of mental illness while simultaneously promoting the company’s positive reputation as participants “mindlessly [endorse] its services.”
“For Bell, this marketing strategy is brilliant,” Vido wrote. “Bell has found a way to generate online discussion – not only about mental health, but about Bell itself.”
When asked about the corporate overtones of the campaign, Deacon said there will always be criticism.
“I would not have gone to Bell if I did not believe there was truly authentic engagement, and I know that to be true from people in leadership positions at Bell back then and still today.”
Since the inaugural Bell Let’s Talk Day, it has amassed a total of 1,168,302,700 interactions, which is the same as every single Canadian texting, calling, tweeting or otherwise engaging with the campaign about 31 times since 2011.
This engagement translated to a grand total of CAD$113,415,135 that Bell has committed to mental health initiatives in the form of community grants for youth, Indigenous communities, and military families. According to the campaign, Bell Let’s Talk has supported 4,422,134 Canadians with access to mental health resources.
This year, the campaign launched a Post-Secondary Fund to help educational institutions across the country implement what is called the National Standard of Canada for Mental Health and Well-Being for Post-Secondary Students — or simply, the Standard. The cross-Canada program is “is a set of flexible, voluntary guidelines to help post-secondary institutions support the mental-health and well-being of their students.”
Those eligible can apply for the Post-Secondary Fund — as well as a Community Fund and a Diversity Fund — on the campaign website.
The awareness campaign, founded in September 2010 and inaugurated in January 2011, is designed to normalize conversations about mental health as well as fulfill its four pillars: anti-stigma; care and access; research; and workplace health.
“At that time, most people were not talking about mental illness. But the numbers spoke volumes about the urgent need for action,” the company said about the infancy of the campaign.
Bell had initially envisioned Bell Let’s Talk as just a five-year project. In March 2020, Bell renewed the project for another five years, with a funding commitment of at least CAD$155 million.
“Building on ten years of increased awareness and acceptance around mental health, Bell Let’s Talk is focused on engaging Canadians to take action to create positive change in mental health.”
