A vegetarian diet may reduce the risk for colorectal cancer in some people. A pescatarian diet, one that includes fish, may offer the most benefits.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a type of cancer that affects your colon and rectum. Your colon and rectum make up your large intestine. CRC starts when abnormal and pre-cancerous growths in the inner lining of the intestine, known as polyps, start to get bigger, which in time can turn or evolve into cancer.
Research has long established that colon cancer is lifestyle-related and that certain dietary choices, such as diets rich in processed and red meats and refined grains, may
The vegetarian diet is a plant-based diet that focuses on consuming:
People following a vegetarian diet may or may not also consume animal-derived products, such as eggs, dairy, or honey.
Because of these dietary choices, numerous studies and clinical trials have linked vegetarian diets to a reduced risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) compared with omnivore diets. Omnivore diets are those that include both animal- and plant-based foods.
Read on to learn more about the research behind vegetarian diet and your risk for CRC, plus other ways to reduce your risk for this type of cancer.
According to the results from a 7-year

Vegetarian diets are
Some of the beneficial effects of fiber on CRC risk include:
- Increased stool weight: This
helpsdilute or trap cancer-promoting substances, which end up being excreted instead of absorbed.
- Reduced transit time: Fiber metabolism
leads toa low pH environment, which leads to stool being passed faster, reducing your bowel cells’ exposure time to potential cancerous substances.
- Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) production: Fermentation of fiber releases SCFAs — namely butyrate, propionate, and acetate — which

Vitamin D, which is present in fortified dairy products, keeps cancer cells from growing and spreading to neighboring tissues and prevents blood vessel growth, which helps starve tumors.
According to research, lactic acid bacteria in these products may improve the composition of your gut’s friendly bacteria, deactivate and reduce the absorption of cancer-promoting substances, and reduce intestinal inflammation.
They avoid red and processed meat products
Being a plant-based eating pattern, a vegetarian diet avoids the intake of animal-based proteins, including red and processed meats.
Red meats include:
In contrast, processed meats, such as sausages or ham, are meats that have been smoked, cured, salted, or fermented to improve their flavor and extend their shelf life.
For example, according to a results from a 6-year study in 475,581 people, those who consumed an average of 76 grams of red or processed meats per day had a
They’re typically low in refined carbs
Vegetarians typically center their food intake around low-calorie, nutrient-dense foods such as vegetables, legumes, whole grains, and fruits. This can lead to
By choosing whole over refined carbs, vegetarians
While human studies haven’t found a clear link between sugar intake and CRC risk, researchers have found an association between
Research suggests that obesity increases blood levels of sugar- and hunger-regulating hormones, as well as inflammatory markers, and reduces the levels of protective compounds. This
By choosing healthier foods that help you manage your weight, vegetarian diets may protect against CRC.
When it comes to vegetarianism, there’s a somewhat broad umbrella of eating patterns that range from the most flexible to the most rigid.
The six main types of
- Lacto-vegetarian: This includes dairy products but excludes eggs and meat products.
- Ovo-vegetarian: This doesn’t include meat and dairy products, but does include eggs.
- Lacto-ovo-vegetarian: This includes eggs and dairy products while restricting meat products.
- Pesco-vegetarian: Also known as pescatarian, it includes fish intake but limits consumption of other meats like poultry or beef.
- Flexitarian: Also known as
semi-vegetarian, it includes both fish and other meats, but limits the consumption of these animal products to no more than once a week.
- Vegan: This doesn’t allow for animal products, including animal-derived ones like honey.
While there are
For example, compared with meat consumers, pescatarians have a

- inflammatory bowel disease
- genetic conditions, such as familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) or lynch syndrome
- family history of CRC
In contrast, modifiable or lifestyle-related risk factors may include:
- sedentary lifestyle
- low fiber diet lacking in fruits and vegetables
- high fat diet rich in red and processed meats
- overweight and obesity
- alcohol and tobacco use
While nonmodifiable risk factors, like genetics, are harder to control, improving the modifiable ones may help reduce your risk.
Aside from the dietary modifications mentioned above, which focus on reducing the intake of refined grains and red and processed meats while increasing the intake of fiber-rich foods, the CDC recommends doing at least
This will help get your body moving and reduce the risk of obesity at the same time, both of which have been linked to a
Lastly, since tobacco use is not only linked to CRC development but also to numerous different cancers all over your body, the
Regular CRC screenings are also important!
Since CRC almost always starts from abnormal growth of polyps in the large intestine, the best way to prevent CRC is to do regular screenings.
According to the
Additionally, they can help find cancer when it’s still in its early stages — when treatment is more likely to be more effective.
Do vegetarians get colorectal cancer?
Yes. While vegetarian diets have shown promising results in reducing the risk of cancer, vegetarians could still get CRC, and the risk may increase due to lifestyle-related circumstances, such as smoking, drinking, and leading a sedentary life.
Do vegetarians have a higher risk of cancer?
Are vegetarians at lower risk for cancer?
Can a plant-based diet reverse colon cancer?
Plant-based diets are associated with numerous
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a lifestyle-related cancer that’s heavily influenced by your dietary choices. Research supports vegetarian diets as a means to reduce its risk.
While all vegetarian diets may offer protective effects due to their high fiber and low red and processed meat intake, pescatarian diets, the kind that allows for fish intake as well, seems to be the one that protects the most.
While making some dietary changes may reduce your risk of CRC, other essential factors to consider include keeping a moderate weight, exercising, and avoiding alcohol and tobacco use.

John Stamos looks back on one of his last conversations with Taylor Hawkins†
After the news of the Foo Fighters star’s death emerged over the weekend, the Full room actor took Twitter to share a message he recently received from the drummer. “This was Taylor Hawkins’ last text to me: ‘Yeah, we’ve got it all – Got a put that st together before we die,'” Stamos tweeted on March 26. “Wise words from my friend – put that together! I’m so damn sad. Another one gone too soon.”
Stamos, who also lost his friend and co-star Bob Saget in January, later shared a throwback video of Hawkins in which the late musician pretended to be mad at the TV star for getting a GEICO commercial in which Stamos flipped a knitting needle like a drumstick.
“Stamos is a good friend of mine. He’s a good guy. I really like him a lot. He’s a great drummer and he’s just a great guy, all those things,” Hawkins said in the old clip. “But I’m actually kind of mad at him, I gotta be honest with you because I should have done that GEICO commercial…Originally that was mine, but they decided to go with Stamos because he looks better. But I’m the best stickflipper out there Sorry, Stamos… Tommy LeeStamos.”

Grammy report: Killer Mike gets 3 awards & arrested
Henny Jay-Z showed up to get the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award
The Grammys* are always sure to make headlines and this year was no exception. KRS-One refused to participate in the Grammys Hip Hop is 50 celebrations last year and asked the question, “What happened to the other 49 years?” The Blastmaster was proven right when the Grammys presented all the Hip Hop awards before the televised broadcast, which was the exact thing that the Fresh Prince and Jazzy Jeff and Jay Z boycotted years ago. Maybe the Grammys will turn back to Hip Hop at the 100th anniversary.
There were good and bad Hip Hop moments. Atlanta’s Killer Mike, who released the album Michael in 2023, won three awards, Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance for ‘Scientists & Engineers’ and Best Rap Album. Then, right before the awards were about to start, he was arrested and taken out of the arena. Videos posted to social media showed the 48-year-old cuffed up on the way out.
When asked about it the morning after, Killer Mike played coy to radio host Tigger’s questions. “I won a Grammy,” Killer Mike said to the question of what happened. “We party all night. Shout out to my record label. Ain’t nothing had happened, man. But we winners. That’s it.” When pressed, Mike said, “We hit a speed bump and then we hit back to the party.”
The other exciting Hip Hop news was that Jay-Z got the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award. He came up and gave a speech that was more Henny Jay than Billionaire Jay. He asked why his wife has more Grammys than anyone else and hasn’t won Album of the Year [while Taylor Swift won her FOURTH!!!! More than anyone ever]. He joked about how he boycotted the Grammys and still watched it from a hotel room. And then to top it off, he put some Henny in the Grammy and drank from it. We need Henny Jay-Z to make a new album now.
*LiFTED’s predictions were two for five this year.

I will be continuing our previous blog.
In the last blog, I described about the significance of liver and why its damage will damage our routine and life. To recap about it, let me ask a simple question.
Q#1. Liver damage or cirrhosis by hepatitis leads to weakening of our immune system. Is it a true statement or not and why?
A#1. The statement is definitely a true statement.
Our liver cells or hepatocytes carry cytochrome p450 system which is an endogenous system where metabolism of drugs, toxins occurs and it helps fighting against pathogens. They carry monooxygenases which metabolise many xenobiotics (A#1) that may potentiate a complication.
A#1. Xenobiotics: These are any chemical that can be found without or within an organism (not necessarily produced by that organism) which may be grouped as a pollutant, drug, carcinogen or pesticide. This is what gets neutralized by hepatocytes.
Hope you have gotten it right. Now let us move into the understanding of viral hepatitis.
Virus: Hepatitis A virus or HAV is an ssRNA virus belonging to a family picornaviridae.
Transmission: To understand this, imagine a couple who is going to travel around the world after leaving their child in a day care. Such a shameless couple! But we are not here to judge. They shall be judged by the universe! Sorry for being overly dramatic. So, after eating sea foods such as oysters they found out that they have hepatitis. Well, here is the judgment. But what more, even their child got hepatitis. So, what does it say? It says about its transmission which is…
- Transmission is fecal-oral route.
- Can be referred to as traveler’s diarrhea as easily acquired during travelling.
- Can occur after eating shellfish which has been contaminated from virus containing water body.
- Children are easy targets when they get in contact with dirt like blood or stool, or eating or drinking contaminated food or water.
Though hepatitis A is self-limiting in few weeks to months in adults. In children, it remains asymptomatic for around a month due to their incubation period.
Symptoms: Symptoms of almost all viral hepatitis are similar.
- Jaundice (icterus)
- Abdominal pain
- Nausea or vomiting
- Appetite loss
- Lab findings are also similar for all hepatitis.
- Increase of AST and ALT in blood.
- Aspartate aminotransferase is an enzyme for amino acid metabolism that is produced by liver. Its normal range fluctuates between 8 to 45 units/liter. Therefore, above 45 U/L in serum indicates that there might be some liver damage. Though, it is just an indicative test and not confirmative as AST (some test may name it SGOT instead of AST as SGOT means serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase which is the same) is also produced by cardiomyocytes, brain, pancreatic, lung, kidney cells etc.
- Therefore, often ALT (alanine aminotransferase or SGPT i.e. serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase) is also measured as it is primarily produced by liver cells.
- Liver biopsy
- Hepatocyte inflammation. Well why not?
- Presence of monocytes in blood
- H and E staining test i.e. hematoxylin (base) and eosin (acid) staining where hepatocyte appear pink (characteristic of acidophilic cells otherwise purple in basophilic cells) due to presence of apoptotic councilman bodies (A#2).
- Antibody test
- Presence of IgM (earliest immunoglobulin to form during infection. If you want to know why, follow this link.) indicates the active stage of infection.
- IgG either indicates the immunisation or prior infection.
Prevention/treatment: Prevented by HepA vaccine which is administered in child of 12 months old or older and followed by another dose with 6 months apart.
A#2. Councilman body: Also called councilman hyaline body which is formed due to infected hepatocyte which are dying (by necrosis or apoptosis) and are, hence, surrounded by parenchyamtous material.
- Formed in hepatitis (viral often), yellow fever (caused by same vector that cause dengue fever i.e. female aedes aegypti).
Virus: HBV is an incomplete dsDNA i.e. the 2nd strand of the DNA is partial, containing virus. It has a unique enzyme i.e. DNA polymerase that can use either DNA or RNA templates for its activity.
- The partial strand completed by the DNA polymerase enzyme as the virus enters into the host cell.
- Then the enzyme transcribes mRNA from the viral closed circular DNA which makes the necessary viral protein molecules.
- Then with reverse transcriptase activity of the same enzyme, it forms DNA from viral RNA for the progeny viruses.
Transmission: By parenteral route i.e. by blood transmission through transfusion or IV drug abuse or by perinatal route i.e. from mother to child or by sexual intercourse.
- Initially appears- fever, body ache, allergic reactions such as rash. Though one should not confuse initial symptoms as the quickly developing symptoms as these symptoms also takes months to show up due to long incubation period.
- Mostly remains acute but 1/5th of the cases can turn chronic.
- Later it most probably can lead to hepatocellular carcinoma (A#3).
- Children are affected the worst.
- The characteristic identification of chronic hepB infection is presence of ground glassy appearance of hepatocytes.
- Hepatocytes are eosinophilic, granular and glassy due to accumulation of viral surface antigens in endoplasmic reticulum in the cytoplasm that makes the light microscopic study looks like a glassy showcase.
- Other techniques such as AST/ALT and Ig testing like already described in HepA can also be performed.
Prevention/treatment: HepA vaccine can prevent HepB infection also. Most of the adults get fully recovered. Though, they may become a carrier too. The risk group, like earlier mentioned, are children.
- HepB vaccine and immunoglobulins can also be used to prevent the progress if given within 24 hours of exposure.
- In infants, the 1st dose of vaccine given at the period of birth followed by 3 or more doses after months interval.
- Now-a-days, a recombinant DNA vaccine is popular named Engerix B.
- It contains non-infectious subunit of HBsAg i.e. hepB surface antigen.
- It is produced by genetic engineering by using Saccharomyces cerevisase or yeast.
- For treatment, oral antiviral drugs such as adefovir (Hepsera) or lamivudine (Epivir) are used that slows down the progression.
A#3. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC): Cancer of liver.
- Causes: Most common cause is HBV or HCV.
- Cirrhosis where liver cells are damaged by HBV or HCV, too much alcohol.
- Excess iron accumulation in the body that is stored in the liver.
- Obesity which leads to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
- Diabetic patients are at high risk.
- Symptoms: Pain in upper abdominal region.
- Weight loss
- Nausea or vomiting
- Bloating or feeling of fullness in belly
- Treatment: Like any cancer, it is also treated with chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy or combination.
Virus: It is caused by an ssRNA containing virus.
Transmission: Most commonly through parenteral route i.e. IV drug abuse.
- Can be transmitted during sexual intercourse.
- Many people are scared of its transmission through kissing, exchange of saliva, using towel or utensil of infected person. But it is just fake information.
Symptoms: Can take months before appearing i.e. long incubation period.
- Very likely leads to chronic infection.
- Again can lead to formation of carcinoma or cirrhosis. Although, has less tendency than the hepB infection.
Diagnosis: Microscopic studies are done.
- Under microscope, hepatic macrovesicular steatosis is seen.
- In this, a large fat filled vacuole is seen in the hepatocyte displacing the nucleus to the periphery.
- Also can be confirmed by the presence of HCV RNA.
- If the repeated tests indicate the reduction of the RNA particles then it means the infection is improving otherwise persistent levels indicate chronic state.
Prevention/treatment: No vaccine available (Q#2).
- Though oral antiviral drugs are available and treatment is highly effective and treats almost all of the patients.
Q#2. Can you think of a reason of why no vaccines are there for HCV?
A#2. Here’s a hint. They show antigenic variation.
Now the question comes, why they show antigenic variation.
Actually, as you may know that hepatitis viruses are enveloped of lipid bilayer. This envelope also has surface proteins or antigens.
Therefore, in case of HCV, these antigenic variation is shown in case of surface proteins which occurs due to lack of 3′-5′ exonuclease activity i.e. polymerase enzyme lacks the ability to recognise and correct any incorrect base pair. This leads inability to proofread and creation of antigenic variation.
Virus: HDV is an ssRNA virus of genus deltavirus.
- The virus is unique on its own as it is highly associated with HBV. How? (Q#3)
- Well, HDV can either occur along with HBV or after chronic HBV infection leading to coinfection or superinfection respectively.
- Can you answer which one is more severe between both of these infections?
Transmission: Same as HBV.
Symptoms: Same as that of other hepatitis infections but have high chances of severe complications like liver failure, cirrhosis and cancer.
Diagnosis: Ground glass appearance with granular eosinophilic present cells just like in HBV infection.
Prevention/treatment: Currently there are no drugs or treatments available for HDV. Though, most of the cases whether it is a coinfection is limited to acute hepatitis.
- Although, as it is associated with HBV, vaccine against HBV also protects against HDV to some extent.
Q#3. Well we covered the association of HBV and HDV of how, but not why? I mean, what does HDV get from HBV and why it can only occur in presence of HBV?
A#3. Actually hepD can’t proliferate on its own and need hepB surface antigen for its multiplication. That’s why they almost have same mechanism and symptoms. This is the reason hepD is also called a defective RNA virus. Sometimes I wonder, if D means defective or delta.
Virus: HEV also contains ssRNA just like HAV. You will find out many such similarities between both.
- The virus is famous to cause epidemic in developing areas such Middle East Africa and Asia or in central America. Here is the direct link to WHO to know more about it.
Transmission: Just like HAV, it is also a waterborne infection i.e. via fecal-oral route.
Symptoms: Its incubation period is very short and leads to fulminant hepatitis in pregnant women.
- Leads to liver failure and necrosis within days.
- Though, it is not associated with cancer. But I believe, it doesn’t make much difference.
Diagnosis: During histological study, one can observe characteristic spotty necrosis i.e. hepatocytes death in clusters.
Prevention/treatment: Well I have mentioned that it will most likely lead to death of a pregnant lady. In other cases, it is not so serious. It only causes acute hepatitis and can be prevented by drinking sanitised and filtered water.
Well like I promised, I explained everything what I could do on the topic of hepatitis. I hope you have gained something from it.
Now you can answer and differentiate easily between all viral hepatitis types.
Leave the comment if you have any question and to show your love.

Insulated vessels play an essential role in generating safe and efficient environments for the transportation, storage and use of many substances, including cryogenics. The many possibilities in their design mean that businesses should work with a trusted supplier that is able to conceive and manufacture exactly the vacuum insulated vessels they may need.
Keep reading to find out what exactly are insulated vessels and how to make sure your business selects the right ones.
What is a thermally insulated vessel?
A thermally insulated vessel is a part of an installation that allows for the storage and transportation of substances at a controlled temperature. These substances may be in a solid, liquid or gaseous state and typically require a restricted atmosphere to maintain their optimal conditions until they’re needed.
Insulated vessels are thus common across diverse industries that may be in need of having readily access to technical gases. Among their advantages are:
- Protection against exterior temperatures and phenomena, such as solar radiation
- A reduction of heat loss
- Guarantees an optimal storage of temperature-sensible substances, such as cryogenics
How do insulated vessels work?
The main technology that supports insulated vessels is the insulation system. It typically consists of an inner vessel (in charge of withstanding low temperatures) and an outer vessel, both insulated from each other.
Among other technical parts in such installations are pressure and vacuum safety valves.

Insulated vessels: an adaptive technology
There are a number of factors to take into account when choosing the right insulated vessels, as these can be adapted according to each project’s needs.
- Sizes may vary and may even include the possibility of large-scale cryogenic storage
- Technologies may diverge in order to meet different substances’ needs, including different types of valves
- Materials used can range from stainless steel to carbon steel. Additionally, some common insulating materials include cellular glass, expanded perlite or rockwool.
This translates into the need to find a trusted partner when it comes to choosing the right insulated vessels, so that companies ensure they access efficient equipment that also meets their budget goals and product needs.
At the same time, insulated vessels are designed to meet specific regulations, including national and international legislation as well as quality standards. This includes the testing of vacuum insulated vessels so that safety is guaranteed.
All in all, because insulated vessels present such a range of diverse possibilities, trusted partners should be able to provide the right solutions to their clients’ needs.
For instance, at Cryospain we’ve recently been in charge of designing and implementing a vacuum insulated piping (VIP) project for the transfer of LNG in bunkering port terminals. Thus, we designed and manufactured 1.5 kilometers of vacuum-insulated piping according to the project’s specific needs
A different approach was needed for our cryogenic vacuum-insulated pipelines in the Netherlands where design engineers and draftsmen worked to develop a customized set of insulated vessels which was then sent to their final destination.
Things to keep in mind when working with insulated vessels
There are a number of factors that play an important part when designing insulated vessels and that shouldn’t be overlooked:
- Fatigue cycles in the system. For instance, those that are in operation may always be cold but others experiment cold and heat cycles that can potentially lead to failure.
- The quick opening of valves that is needed in certain operations might cause surges in insulated vessels that need to be analyzed in order to avoid issues.
- Because it’s not a completely rigid system and undergoes a series of thermal disparities, a thermally insulated-vessel system might experience certain displacements.
In order to guarantee that insulated vessels are correctly designed, manufactured and maintained, the use of professional software will provide the appropriate calculations and take into account the issues mentioned above.
Cryospain: our insulated vessel projects
At Cryospain, we’re experts in designing and manufacturing large scale vacuum insulated vessels. Through the use of cutting-edge technology and our team of expert engineers, we’re able to provide customized insulated vessels tailored to the needs of our clients.
Our cryogenic storage systems come at a range of sizes and capacities, starting from 500m3, bringing cutting-edge technical solutions to market in record time. These include vent valves and pressure and vacuum safety valves, guaranteeing the highest quality.
Additionally, our vacuum insulated vessels meet our clients’ required legislation, regulations and quality standards, including European Directive 2014/68/EU and the design code ASME VIII, div 1
At the same time, we provide a post-sale and maintenance service to our clients, so that their insulated vessels are always in good hands.

The American Academy of Ophthalmology and the Pan-American Association of Ophthalmology announced that they are establishing a Hurricane Relief Fund in response to the devastation caused by Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Katia. The goal is to help those in affected areas – who have suffered unimaginable loss – get the vital services and help they need.
The organizations are seeking contributions from their combined 35,000 members, with 100 percent of donations going to Americares.
Americares is a non-profit disaster relief and global health organization providing immediate response to emergency medical needs and supporting long-term health care initiatives for people in the United States and around the world.
Americares was chosen because more than 97 percent of all donations directly improve the health of people in need, while less than 3 percent are used for administration and overhead. For every $10 donated, Americares can provide $200 in aid.
"We extend our thoughts and prayers to the people who have been affected by the catastrophic winds and rain associated with Hurricane Harvey and Irma,” David W. Parke II, MD, CEO of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, said in a news release. “We are eager to help and support the work of Americares.”
Right now Americares is responding to the urgent needs of people in Hurricane Irma’s path. And they are still in Texas, distributing water, aid and mobilizing medical outreach with local partners.
“We are lucky to partner with the Academy to help the Americas in these difficult times,” said J. Fernando Arevalo, MD, FACS, president of the Pan-American Association of Ophthalmology. “We know of many patients in the Caribbean who are dealing with dual devastation, eye sight problems and the hurricane. Our colleagues are struggling to get back on their feet to treat their patients after the destruction caused by Irma. Victims from Harvey in Texas, from Katia, which struck the east coast of Mexico, and the earthquake in Mexico, are also in our minds and prayers.”

The clichéd idea that children prefer to play with a box than the expensive gadgets contained within may finally be on the wane, as a new generation of technology-savvy tots have hit the headlines this week.
After a recent poll showed that over 50% of mums and dads allow their babies to play with a mobile device, such as an iPhone or tablet, a London psychiatrist has revealed that he is treating a four-year-old girl for iPad addiction.
Dr Richard Graham, who specialises in adolescent technology addiction, has said of his tiny patient, “In the year running up to contacting the clinic, the parents noticed her use of the iPad was escalating. She was using it three to four hours every day and showed increased agitation if it was removed.”
“She had developed an obsession with the device and would ask for it constantly. She would become very distressed and inconsolable when it was taken away”
While Dr Graham believes a rise in similar cases is highly lively due to our increasing reliance on digital devices, many would argue that technology is actually beneficial for our children’s education.
Technology behemoth Apple has recently mooted “field trips to the Apple store for students and teachers” as an enriching experience for school children.
In the statement, the trailblazing brand claims, “Our store is their classroom. Students create projects from scratch or come to showcase the remarkable work they’ve already created. (They can) experience the Mac, iPad and other Apple products as learning tools.”
Unsurprisingly, this has proven a divisive proposal, with The Times’ Kevin Maher archly dismissing it as “laden with high-tech West Coast benevolence and corporate altruism” while Twitter has been awash with mixed reactions from students and education professionals.
One stateside teacher gleefully posted “1st field trip for ECLC Nursery & 5th grade going to the Apple store to learn to create digital stories using iMovie #SISRocks”
So what do you think? What is the value of technology in our children’s lives? Let us know by leaving a comment below or join the debate on our Facebook page.

KS | In a ceremony on the south steps of the state capitol building, Kansas Insurance Commissioner Vicki Schmidt today took the oath of office to begin her second term.
Re-elected in November to her second four-year term, Commissioner Schmidt received the most votes of any statewide candidate for office.
“I am very honored and humbled that Kansans have again placed their trust in me to serve as Insurance Commissioner,” Schmidt said. “The Kansas Insurance Department remains focused on being an advocate for all Kansans and their insurance matters, and I look forward to building upon the success of the last four years.”
Since taking office in 2019, Commissioner Schmidt has worked to advance the core mission of the office by fairly regulating the insurance industry, educating Kansans about insurance and securities, and advocating on behalf of Kansans. Under her leadership, the Department has returned more than $26 million to Kansas policyholders, including $7.6 million in 2022. Schmidt spearheaded an operational overhaul that lowered the cost of doing business in Kansas for the insurance and securities industries by more than $36.5 million.
Before serving as insurance commissioner, Schmidt spent 14 years in the Kansas Senate, representing Shawnee and Wabaunsee counties. A pharmacist by trade, she chaired the Public Health and Welfare Committee and served 12 years on the Financial Institutions and Insurance Committee. Schmidt currently represents Kansas at the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, where she serves as Secretary/Treasurer for the Midwest Zone.
A native of Wichita, Vicki is married to her high school sweetheart, Mike. They live in Topeka and have two sons and four grandchildren.

Trump’s proposed 2021 budget includes another significant increase for the Department of Veterans Affairs: a 13 percent increase to $90 billion for medical services, another $19.5 billion in other discretionary spending, and $134 billion in mandatory funding for veteran benefits. It’s one of only a handful of agencies with proposed bumps; the others are NASA, Homeland Security, Treasury, and Defense — but none see such significant boosts. Conversely, all other departments have proposed cuts, from a 2 percent cut for Justice to a 37 percent cut for Commerce.
Does this signify Trump supports veterans? Hardly.
We do not transition out of the military and live in veteran-exclusive bubbles. Let’s take a look at some of the ways veterans — along with our fellow Americans — stand to be harmed by these slashes.

Wellesley Fudge Cake circa 1898
4 squares Baker's unsweetened chocolate (I used Ghirardelli semi-sweet) 4 squares = 4 ounces
1/2 cup hot water

Pour into 2 greased 9-inch layer pans. I used 9x13 inch pan.
Bake in preheated 350º oven for 30-35 minutes, or until cake tests done.
Cool 10 minutes, remove from pan (only if you are using the 9-inch pans - otherwise just leave in the 9x13)
When cool, frost with:
Classic Fudge Frosting
Melt 4 squares chocolate (again, I used Ghirardelli semi-sweet because it is what I had in the house) with 2 Tablespoons butter over very low heat.
Combine 4 cups unsifted confectioners sugar, a dash of salt, 1/2 cup milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla.

“The supreme accomplishment is to blur the line between work and play.” – Arnold Toynbee
I’m on a mission to be a better, happier and healthier person. I’m dedicated to finding and doing what I’m passionate about every single day. My goal for the next year is to literally leap out of bed every morning because I’m so excited about the life I’m living.
Of course, I’ll need to break that down into smaller chunks… but I think I’m off to a strong start!
The Short Guide to Finding Your Passion
1. What are you good at?
Sometimes the most obvious isn’t always the answer. As years pass, it can be easy to forget what you were good at 5, or even 10 years ago. Was it writing? Drawing? Organizing? Dancing? Teaching? Spend at least 30 minutes thinking back on old jobs and hobbies. Create a list of possibilities.
2. What excites you?
This can be anything. A small part of your job, something you do on the side. Do you volunteer and enjoy spending your time there? Do you like cooking for your family or thinking of fun activities for your friends? Again, this could be something you haven’t done in awhile so THINK! Don’t shortchange yourself. Keep adding to your list…
3. What do you read about?
If you spend time reading it, chances are it interests you. What do you read online? What’s the first website you visit? What blogs do you follow? What types of books do you read? Again- add them to your list!
4. What have you secretly dreamed of?
I know there are several ridiculous dream jobs I’ve always imagined myself doing. Think of a job you’ve always wanted but thought impossible. A novelist, an artist, a designer, an architect? For me, it was usually fear and self-doubt holding me back, causing me to dismiss the idea. Even if it’s unrealistic, continue with the list.
5. Learn, ask, take notes
Look over your list and choose what excites you the most. Read about it and contact those who have been successful in the field. Most likely someone has found a way to capitalize on it. Connect with them through their blog or send them a quick email. Make a list of notes of things you need to learn and improve on to take the next step.
6. Experiment, try
Here’s where the learning really takes place. Start to do the thing you’ve chosen. JUST DO IT. Make it public however you can. This motivates you to improve and gets you feedback. As you continue on this path, your reputation will improve. Blog about the experience. Pay attention to how you feel doing it and ask yourself if it’s something you look forward to and want to share.
7. Narrow things down
Pick three things from your list and do steps 5 and 6 with them. Which one gets you the most excited and produces something people will pay for and get excited about with you? Which one can you see yourself doing for years? Don’t necessarily go with the most traditional career path. Make it into a career if possible. If that doesn’t work out, try the next thing on your list. Failure teaches valuable lessons that will drive your success in the next attempt.
8. Banish your fears
This is definitely my biggest problem: getting rid of self-doubt and fear of failure. It helps to acknowledge it rather than ignore or deny it. Feel it and be okay with it. Even if the worst possible scenario happens, know that it won’t be the end of the world. Prepare yourself and then do it. And my favorite part: celebrate your successes, no matter how small!
9. Find the time
If you think you don’t have time, you’re wrong. Make the time, darn it! If it’s a priority, you’ll rearrange your life until you do. This might mean waking up earlier, canceling commitments, simplifying your work routine or doing a lot of work in advance. Whatever it takes, do it.
10. How to make a living doing it
This doesn’t happen overnight. It requires doing something, succeeding at it and being passionate about it. Having fun with it is the most important part. It’s at this point where you are so invested and so great at what you’re doing that others are willing to pay you for it.
It won’t necessarily be easy. It will require a lot of reflection and soul-searching. And after, that a lot of courage, learning and experimentation. Lastly, but most importantly, it will take a lot of commitment.
But it’s all worth it. Every second, every ounce of courage and every bit effort. In the end, you’ll have something that will transform your life, giving you that reason to jump out of bed.

The newest aviation industry market reports from Sandhills Global reflect considerable increases in the asking values for piston single and turboprop aircraft in Sandhills marketplaces in just a short span of time. Month-over-month trends in the used aircraft market highlight these rapid gains. From January to February, piston single asking values rose by 9.0%, while turboprop asking values climbed by 6.9% in the same time period. These value increases continue to be driven by low inventory levels.
Sandhills’ aviation products include Controller, Controller EMEA, Executive Controller, Charter Hub, Aviation Trader, Aircraft Cost Calculator, and AircraftEvaluator. AircraftEvaluator is Sandhills’ proprietary asset valuation tool for all types of aircraft, built using the same technology behind FleetEvaluator. Widely used and trusted across equipment, truck, and trailer industries, FleetEvaluator identifies asset values with unparalleled accuracy.
The key metric used in all of Sandhills’ market reports is the Sandhills Equipment Value Index (EVI). Buyers and sellers can use the information in Sandhills EVI to monitor equipment markets and maximize returns on acquisition, liquidation, and related business decisions. For 2022, Sandhills has enhanced its EVI with new metrics. The data now includes model year equipment actively in use, which grows the used equipment population beyond aircraft available in retail markets. New EVI data, already available for the United States, is also now available for Canada to better reflect aircraft values by location. The enhanced version of Sandhills EVI requires Sandhills to restate the values starting in January 2022, so prior numbers will not be comparable to the new, more insightful values.
This report includes detailed analysis of asking values and inventory trends in the U.S. used aircraft market along with charts that help readers visualize the data. This report describes and quantifies crucial trends for the 0- to 10-year age groups in used piston single and turboprop aircraft. The 0- to 10-year age group is the smallest inventory category for both types of aircraft.
U.S. and Canada Used Piston Single Aircraft
- The Sandhills Equipment Value Index (EVI) for the piston single aircraft category posted a 24.2% year-over-year asking value increase in February. The asking EVI was $237,000, up from $191,000 in February 2021.
- In the piston single aircraft category, units in the 0- to 10-year age group make up just 15% of the total inventory. With a 32.8%YOY drop in overall inventory, this limited supply is driving significant month-over-month asking value gains. The 0- to 10-year age group values increased by $49,000 between January ($544,000) and February ($593,000).
U.S. and Canada Used Turboprop
- The Sandhills EVI for turboprop aircraft logged a 10.5% YOY value increase within the asking market. February 2022 asking values came in at $1.57 million in contrast with $1.42 million one year prior. Turboprop aircraft inventory overall decreased sharply, by 70.0% YOY.
- Asking values for 0- to 10-year aircraft, which represent 12% of the turboprop category, grew by $225,000 between January ($3.26 million) and February ($3.48 million).

Space is a big thing and if you don't have it you need to try to figure out how you can get it. Remove a wall to expand your space is always an option you may want to consider. Try to find a dining room set that fits your space properly. If you have something that is too big or too small it you'll run into problems. Having the extra space at a big table is nice, but if people feel crowded they won't be comfortable.
The dining room of your home is the most important place when it comes to having meals with your entire family. This special room requires modern dining room furniture that serves the functionality of serving meals and comfort at the same time. The modern dining room furniture that is manufactured by most companies ensures that you get many designs that suits your needs and tastes. This form of modern furniture is the most purchased and popular piece of furniture that is purchased by millions of people all over the world today.
Chairs are the pieces of furniture that get most of the abuse. They are scooted across carpet and rugs to loosen the legs, items that are in pockets scratch them and many times the backs become loose as well. Some people even end up mismatching their dining sets by buying mismatched chairs. If this happens to you, consider using slipcovers to cover them up during a dinner party. Slipcovers hide the little imperfections your chairs may display while making a beautiful setting for your dining room.

The Dabompa School is a poor school in a poor country. The founder, Ahmed Soumah, gave up the opportunity to live in America so he could work for the “cultural development of the youth of Guinea.” He established a non–profit organization, recruited six teachers, created a curriculum rich in language and culture, and solicited enough money to get started six years ago.
I visited Dabompa School where I was impressed with the eagerness of the students and teachers and saddened by the poor conditions. One hundred students pay $2 a month tuition for a total school year revenue of $1,980. Ten students are on free tuition. Rent ($420) and teachers’ salaries ($4,860) alone exceed the revenue by $3,300.
“How do you manage?” I asked.
“ We are proud of our school,” replied Ahmed. “Half our students pass the government exam and move into secondary. But many months, teachers don’t get paid. We all sacrifice for the children.”
“What do you do for desks and books?” I asked.
“We make our desks from wood we salvage from local shops. We sometimes receive books as gifts, but most of our lessons are written on the chalkboard, and the students write them down in their notebooks,” he replied pointing to a few smiling students with notebooks.
Ahmed spends much of his time fundraising from the parents. He calls it investment. Last year he got one large investment of $250 and several smaller ones of less than $10.
Jim Fisher and I asked Ahmed to work with Bah Oure, director of ERA/Guinea, to come up with a plan whereby we could help the school. We said we would not simply give money. We had to have a definite plan, and the results would be monitored.
A few weeks later, we received an email from Bah. The plan focused on making the school more attractive. This, they reasoned, would bring in more students and allow them to raise the tuition. The cost to paint the school would be $664.
Linda and I agreed to put up $500 if Ahmed could raise the additional $164. Jim agreed as director of ERA/ USA to pay Bah $50 to serve as contractor and inspector. Bah drew up the contract, and all parties signed them. The understanding was that success would bring more “investment.”
We sent our money and hoped for the best. In the meantime, the economy of Guinea hit rock bottom, the price of rice soared, students protested and were jailed, the university was closed, and a nationwide teachers strike was called.
Next week: A plan that works

The 25 tests produced a rise intraocular pressure between 15.2 kPa and ninety nine.3 kPa (114.three mmHg and 744.7 mmHg). Calculated blade velocities ranged between 16.0 m/s and 25.4 m/s. Injury risk for lens damage, retinal injury, and globe rupture was zero.0% for all checks. Blade design parameters such as length and mass did not affect the danger of eye harm. This is the first research to quantify the chance of eye harm from RC toy helicopter blades.
The working mechanism of a remote control toy is based on the strategy of sending and receiving electro-magnetic or radio waves. An antenna is present on the remote, and it sends alerts to a circuit board situated contained in the toy and prompts the motors, thus enabling the toy to move within the desired course. Broadly stating, the remote control toys work with four components, namely, transmitter, receiver, motors, and an influence supply. These toys have been trending out there since the previous couple of a long time. Initially, remote controlled toys additionally consisted of long wires; later, wi-fi technology was developed.
Corneal abrasion was assessed submit-impact utilizing fluorescein dye. Intraocular stress was correlated to harm risk for hyphema, lens damage, retinal damage, and globe rupture using printed threat features. All tests resulted in corneal abrasions; however, no different injuries had been observed.

Eye injuries may be caused by quite a lot of shopper merchandise and toys. Recently, indoor remote managed (RC) toy helicopters have become extremely popular.
All remote control toys require a transmitter or a remote, which has control buttons, or a joystick, or triggers, or a wheel for turning, and so on. The distance from which the remote control toys could be operated varies depending on the kind of energy and the construction and mechanism of the toy.
The objective of this examine is to quantify eye harm danger associated with five commercially out there RC toy helicopter blades. An experimental matrix of 25 checks was developed to test five completely different RC toy helicopter blades at full battery power on six postmortem human eyes. A strain sensor inserted via the optic nerve measured intraocular stress.

Herald of the New Year
I've been drawing superheroes and costumes for superheroes ever since my early childhood, using crayon and colored pencil. Nothing much has changed, except that I've switched from crayons to the Cintiq. This costumed figure is "Lightningball," as I knew him when I designed him. To spare the modest slightly, I've re-named him "Lightning Rod," which isn't much better. The Legion of Superheroes had "Lightning Lad," "Lightning Lass," and "Lightning Lord," but I can't use them. My "Lightning Ball" had a velvety black bodysuit with gold trim and gold cape. He had three "rings" on his gloves and boots which concentrated the lightning force. His weapon, the lightning rod here used as a banner pole, could not only shoot bolts but collapse to a shorter staff weapon or fighting stick. The helmet is based on Renaissance parade armor. I don't have any "backstory" for Lightning Rod, at least at the moment.
Having seen this so far, you can guess what my sketchbook journal theme is for 2017. I will be drawing and painting and coloring superheroes, their costumes, and other fantasy characters in comic book style. Most of them will be my own inventions but I might sneak some already existing characters in there too. I will use frames which is good practice. This one is colored in Photoshop but I will also offer up more "traditional" drawings in colored pencil and markers. There will also be geometrix accents on the pages.
"Lightning Rod" is brown tech pen on sketchbook page, 5 1/2" x 8",colored in Photoshop,

Ebuhuel: Breath & Hammer Version
For this album, we created the raw material by recording thousands of our own clarinet and piano sounds. We then wove together extended techniques and our completely untreated samples to create a large scale quasi-orchestral tapestry. No other instruments or samples are used, and many of the pieces are made up of 40 or more layers of prepared “piano orchestra” and clarinet. Fundamentally Breath & Hammer is about connections between people and a celebration of identity through music. The album is a mix of our own compositions along with our arrangements of song-form pieces gifted to us by our brilliant friends and collaborators from totally different backgrounds, genres and musical points of view: New York saxophone maverick John Zorn, Syrian clarinetist and composer Kinan Azmeh, Cuban percussionist Roberto Rodriguez, accordionist and forró specialist Rob Curto, and traditional master of Moldavian music Emil Kroitor. Our journey is global yet somehow very personally connected to the two of us; with our own pieces that reflect on cultural heritage, Curto’s Brazilian forró tune which we cast over a “drum circle” (all made of piano samples) inspired by Nigerian traditional musicians, a danzón from Rodriguez’s collection of imaginary Cuban Jewish music, Azmeh’s haunting evocation of the feeling of home and belonging, two pieces from Zorn’s magnum opus: “The Book of Angels” and Kroitor’s poignant ode to his homeland.
We invite you to join us on this voyage that we call Breath & Hammer: The Ties That Bind Us.

Hi everyone here is PseudoAzerty for a new video on how to boost your laptop thanks to an external graphics card called eGpu. You will use it to boost your computer for pretty cheap, with less than $150 you can have a pc gamer laptop. […] So, let’s meet again with the computer. To start with this project, you will need start installing the latest BIOS you will find below in the description for Lenovo Laptops as mine, which is an x230. You will also need to buy an Nvidia graphics card. Why Nvidia, because they compress the signal sent to the computer while the AMD do not and therefore would not work. So here is the graphics card, it is a Nvidia 750TI, […] you will need also a power input, I recommend DELL 220W DA-2 AC […] that costs about $ 20, […] the graphic card costs about $100 and the support […] about $30 […] that allows to plug in the graphic card and connect it to the computer through an Express Card. In fact, there are 2 connection types […] , the one I use is the Express Card it is a little slower than the MPCIE MPCIE but easier to install, signal speed ~ 1GB / s. So, let’s plug it into the Express Card port […] So, there it is after all pretty simple you just turn on the computer and the graphics card launches. Now I disconnect it because I do not need it. Afterwards there is another type of card, MPCIE cards, they are a little faster, but difficult to install ( open the computer, remove the Wi-Fi card and use an Ethernet cable or an USB Wi-Fi ) […] The external graphics cards are limited to around 70% of their normal speed through an Express Card, because the signal speed is limited and here using laptop screen has to go back which slows down a bit more. […] Installing a graphics card more powerful than a GTX 1060 would useless due to signal limitations 1GB/s. As I mention before, use Nvidia over AMD, because the Nvidia compress the signal while AMD does not Now we are going to test with GTA5 […] The game crashes without graphics card. […] With the Graphic card, you see it works really well […] with very high graphic quality Like, subscribe and share the video, thanks for watching!

A new report is highlighting the financial distress that some Pennsylvania families are experiencing. Even before the pandemic, almost 1.4 million households in the state were one emergency away from financial ruin, and now the situation is worse the study shows.
The ALICE report was published through an initiative of the Pennsylvania network of United Ways. The acronym stands for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed, and it is used as a way to raise awareness of the financial issues facing Pennsylvania’s low and middle income working families.
Appearing on Smart Talk Friday to talk about policy priorities are Kristen Rotz, President, United Way of Pennsylvania and Executive Director of PA 211 and Rebecca O’Shea, Advocacy Coordinator, United Way of Pennsylvania.
#SaveOurStages secures a lifeline for independent theaters, venues and festivals
As it became clear the Pandemic restrictions would carry into 2021, a group of over three thousand independent entertainment venues across the country banded together to ask Washington for help.
That help came as part of the most recent COVID-19 relief bill and is called the Save our Stages Act. It is not only independent venues that may benefit, but also zoos, museums, theaters, and even festivals.
Karl Blischke is the Executive Director of the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts and he, along with Hal Real, founder and president of World Café Live and a co-founder and board member of the National Independent Venue Association will join Smart Talk Friday to explain how the relief will be distributed.

Duterte administration relentless in acquiring COVID-19 vaccines – Galvez
MANILA, Philippines — National Task Force Against COVID-19 (NTF) chief implementer and vaccine czar Carlito Galvez Jr. on Sunday assured that the Duterte administration is “relentless” in acquiring COVID-19 vaccines for the Filipino people.
“Rest assured that the Duterte administration has been relentless in acquiring these vaccines to ensure that the country will have a fair share of the doses,” Galvez said in a statement.
He also addressed the perceived slow vaccination rollout, saying that the current supply is reserved for medical frontliners.
“The inoculation of medical workers must be carried out in a deliberate manner. Considering the crucial task they perform, their vaccination must be done in batches in light of possible adverse effects and the impact on the manning requirements of health facilities,” he said.
“When all our medical frontliners and health care workers are inoculated and our country already has sufficient vaccine supplies, we shall significantly pick up the pace of our vaccination program,” he said.
Galvez added that almost 90 percent of the vaccines on hand have already been deployed in the past two weeks.
‘As much as we would like to conduct a full-scale vaccination program, we are, however, constrained by the current limited supply of vaccines in the world market. And this is the same problem being faced by most nations around the world,” he said.
To date, the Philippines has acquired 600,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccine from China’s Sinovac Biotech as a donation from the Chinese government.
Another one million doses is expected to arrive on March 21.
The Philippines also got 525,600 doses from British-Swede drugmaker AstraZeneca. The first shipment—consisting of 487,400 doses, arrived on March 4, while the remaining 38,400 doses arrived on March 7.
Vaccines from India, Russia
Meanwhile, Galvez reported that he visited India to directly deal with the Serum Institute of India to guarantee both short and long term vaccine supplies.
Another team is expected to fly to Russia to further conduct a study on the Sputnik V vaccine produced by Gamaleya, he added.
He also responded to the allegation that country has borrowed over over P10 trillion pesos to support its vaccination program.
Galvez, citing Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez III, said that government is working on an overall budget of P82.5 billion for the national vaccination program, of which P62 billion in financing is sourced from development partners and the rest is financed internally.
“We have secured enough funding from abroad right now as the World Bank, Asian Development Bank and Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank approved just this week separate loans to cover the entire P62-billion component that we plan to secure overseas,” he said.
“All copies of the loan and grant agreements signed by the Department of Finance are uploaded in the agency’s website and can be viewed by anyone who wishes to check their veracity,” he added.

Packaging: Not so much.
I was disappointed when the CD insert didn't have the lyrics to the songs. The lyrics and an explanation of some of the sailing terms would have been ideal (raise your hand if you know what "jubeju" means). Even looking them up online is tricky since there seems to be a lot of variations on these songs.
But the songs are great. I especially like the fact that there is no musical accompaniment, it really gives it a feel of sailors singing as it would have been. I've bought some other CD's similar to this and they all use instruments that makes them sound less like sailing songs and more like folk music.
This type of thing is totally out of character for the types of stuff I normally like, but it's hard NOT to like Blow the Man Down as sung here. I confess to singing some of these songs myself when nobody is looking and I'm doing the dishes or something else noisy. :)
So it's a shame about the missed opportunity to turn this into something special by giving us a good CD insert, but the CD itself is fantastic.
This CD offers good, pleasing harmony and solo male vocals throughout, all well recorded and engineered. If you're expecting any instrumental accompaniment you won't find it here but it doesn't detract a whit from these recordings.
If you like traditional sea shanties, add this to your collection.
