Connecting state and local government leaders
A coalition of states, cities and advocacy groups argue that adding the question will drive down response rates ahead of the 2020 decennial count.
A lawsuit challenging the Trump administration's decision to ask people about their citizenship status during the 2020 Census can move forward, a New York federal judge ruled Thursday.
U.S. District Court Judge Jesse Furman found that the U.S. Census Bureau generally has the right to ask about citizenship. But he will continue the lawsuit because plaintiffs "plausibly allege" that Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross' decision to add the question stemmed from "discriminatory animus and that its application will result in a discriminatory effect."
But Furman cautioned that plaintiffs might not ultimately be victorious, underscoring that Ross has "broad authority" over the census.
A group of 17 states, along with advocacy organizations and cities, filed the lawsuit earlier this year, arguing that the decision to ask census respondents about whether they are legal citizens would "drive down response rates" and therefore result in a count that doesn't accurately reflect the population.
The concern is that non-citizens will not participate in the census because they are afraid it will result in an enforcement action by immigration authorities, which would then result in undercounting of the number of people living in certain places. This could lead to locations with high numbers of undocumented immigrants losing out on federal grant dollars, while also potentially leading to certain states or cities being penalized when congressional boundaries are drawn based on population.
The Census Bureau and Commerce Department have retorted in court filings that there is "little 'definitive, empirical' evidence" about the effects of asking about citizenship, while saying the bureau has procedures for getting information about households that don't respond.
The bureau eliminated the citizenship question entirely in 2010 and hasn't used it with all census respondents since 1950. In his opinion, Furman wrote that Census Bureau officials in recent counts—which under the U.S. Constitution must take place every decade—have opposed efforts to reinstate it across-the-board, warning it will result in inaccuracies.
Earlier this week, The New York Times reported that emails filed in the court record as part of the lawsuit showed Trump administration officials from the very beginning of the president's time in office urging Commerce officials to move on the issue of including a citizenship question. The article noted these emails undermined the Commerce Department's contention when reinstating the question that they acted at the request of the Justice Department, which said the information was necessary for Voting Rights Act enforcement.
But a Commerce spokesman responded to the Times that the documents filed as part of the case merely show the good government practice of officials discussing issues before making policy changes.
After Furman's opinion, an agency spokesman said Commerce officials were pleased that the judge recognized Ross' "broad authority" to deal with the census. "We are confident that this includes the authority to reinstate a citizenship question and that plaintiffs’ remaining claims will be dismissed after discovery shows that the secretary lawfully exercised his discretion to do so," he said in an email.
But New York Attorney General Barbara Underwood countered in a statement that the opinion allowing the case to proceed is a "big win."
"As we’ve argued, the Trump administration’s plan to demand citizenship status as part of the Census is unlawful—and it would potentially cause a huge undercount that would threaten billions in federal funds and New York’s fair representation in Congress and the Electoral College," she said.
Not all states are opposed to the inclusion of a question about a person's citizenship status. The state of Alabama has filed its own lawsuit against the bureau to block counting people without legal documentation. State officials argue Alabama could potentially lose a congressional representative if undocumented residents in other states are counted.

November 5th, 2014 • iizthatiiz
Representative-Elect Mia Love of Utah, soundly rejected an attempt by CNN anchors to paint her win at the polling booths as some sort of ‘racial’ or ‘gender’ victory. Love was introduced into the post-election segment by CNN Morning host Michaela Pereira who acknowledged Love’s victory by inquiring of the winning candidate, why she had “won this time?” (*Love had run for the seat in 2012).
Ever gracious, Mia ignored the jibe, and acknowledged the citizens of her district who had responded to her positive campaign message, telling the network anchors that she was “absolutely humbled” by the confidence shown in her by her fellow constituents, and “proud” of her state.
That .. was not the answer CNN Morning anchors were aiming toward, as co-host John Berman interjected.. “Proud because they made history! You are the first black Republican woman to be elected to the House of Representatives!” As Michaela smirked alongside, Berman continued, “What took so long? And what needs to happen, what do you think needs to happen for more.. perhaps minorities to be elected by the Republican party?”
The soon-to-be Congresswoman wasn’t buying into CNN’s narrative, and calmly deflated the anchor’s entire premise.
“Well first of all, I think what we need to mention here, is this had nothing to do with race. Understand that Utahan’s have made a statement that they’re not interested in dividing Americans based on race or gender. That they want to make sure that they are electing people who are honest, and who have integrity. Who could be able to go out and actually make sure that we represent the values that they hold dear. And that’s really what made history here. It’s that race, gender .. had nothing to do with it. Principles had everything to do with it. And Utah values had everything to do with it. So that’s the history that we made here.”
Pereira took her turn: “I wanna challenge you on one point though, because there will be those that will say, not so much dividing on the basis of race, but just making sure everyone has a seat at the table..”
Love replied, “I wasn’t elected because of the color of my skin. I wasn’t elected because of my gender. I was elected because of the solutions that I put at the table. Because I promised I would run a positive, issues oriented campaign, and that’s exactly what resonated.”
Love’s responses were the perfect answer to a false, liberal media narrative. What these network anchors fail to grasp are common sense values .. such as, no one should get a ‘seat at the table’ based upon race or gender. Is it not much better to get there by earning the trust and faith of your fellow citizens? Trust in our ‘representation’ isn’t something to be handed out.
Kudo’s to the area residents of Saratoga Springs, who have wisely chosen a Congresswoman that will truly represent their issues and concerns. and who politely refused to fall sway to an attempt by the media to impose “their” narrative onto the citizens of her district.

War is often described as hours of tedium punctuated by moments of terror. It’s an apt description of protecting the Capitol during the shutdown, too.
This week, cops patrol hallways, statuaries, and rotundas that are completely devoid of people (“Welcome to my hall of boredom!” exclaims one officer walking toward the Senate chamber). Last week, however, they scrambled to respond after gunshots left one woman dead and the entire complex on lockdown. Either way, it’s not a job people want to do without collecting a paycheck — or at least knowing when they’re going to get one.
Across the country, there are about 2 million federal workers who could miss paychecks while the government is shut down. They are FEMA workers, park rangers, and Pentagon personnel, to name just a few. But there’s one group who are forced to spend their days protecting the very lawmakers who stopped the paychecks: the Capitol Police.
They are almost guaranteed to get back pay — especially after President Obama said he would support a bill passed unanimously in the House of Representatives that promised to pay the nearly 800,000 people furloughed — but have to wait until the government reopens for business. No one knows when that will be.
“There can’t be an end for something until there’s a beginning,” said one officer standing outside the Capitol.
The force will be paid for its work in September by Oct. 17, but if the shutdown continues for long after that, it’s unclear the next time they will be paid. Missing a pay period, even for a group of people with a starting salary of about $56,000 (among the higher base salaries for area officers, according to a 2012 Government Accountability Office report), isn’t an easy thing.
Some officers’ spouses are also federal employees not getting paychecks until the shutdown ends. Some are calling banks to work out mortgage payments, while others are relying on savings if the shutdown drags on.
“It’s like the guys who come back from war missing a leg,” said one officer. “You can either commit suicide or go on. There’s just nothing we can do.”
Lawmakers on the Hill have acknowledged their sacrifice. “Today and every day that the federal government remains closed for business, these Capitol Police officers — and tens of thousands of other public servants, including many law-enforcement officials — are working without pay,” said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., who once worked on the force.
Even Senate Chaplain Barry Black, who has lately injected himself into the shutdown debate by praying for God to do things like “save us from the madness,” highlighted the irony. The day after a woman drove at a Capitol grounds barricade, Black began the Senate session by intoning, “May we go beyond applause in expressing our gratitude but make decisions that will ensure their timely and fair compensation.”
And it’s not just in front of the bright lights and cameras that members profess their support. It’s always been something of a trope for lawmakers to get chummy with the force, but the shutdown has kicked it up a notch. “It’s extra right now,” one officer noted. “They’re really hamming it up.”
It doesn’t always come across as genuine.
“They don’t care,” an officer said about the members of Congress who have offered public support. “What we need to do is freeze their bank accounts and their wives’ bank accounts. That’d get them to act.”
Thursday, the day the Capitol was on lockdown and shots rang through the air, was particularly difficult. “The general consensus is that eventually we’ll get paid; at the end of the day it’s just delayed. But there’s real anger at people being disrespectful at the police who are protecting them from imminent harm,” said one officer.
But even that officer noted that a number of members of Congress, even those he’s never spoken with, have “apologized profusely” to him. And he believes they are sincere.
“If Halloween comes and goes and there’s no candy on the table, people are going to freak,” an officer said, “and no one I’ve talked to can handle it if it goes like last time.”
The last government shutdown went on for 26 days.

After initially promising it in August, "President Trump said Monday that he will declare a national emergency next week to address the opioid epidemic." When asked, he also "declined to express confidence in Rep. Tom Marino (R-Pa.), his nominee for drug czar, in the wake of revelations that the lawmaker helped steer legislation making it harder to act against giant drug companies."
In the wake of Sunday's blockbuster 60 Minutes/Washington Post report on opioid regulation and enforcement, Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) has introduced legislation that "would repeal a 2016 law that hampered the Drug Enforcement Administration’s ability to regulate opioid distributors it suspects of misconduct." In a statement, McCaskill said: “Media reports indicate that this law has significantly affected the government’s ability to crack down on opioid distributors that are failing to meet their obligations and endangering our communities."
"The United States military said on Monday that it would practice evacuating noncombatant Americans out of South Korea in the event of war and other emergencies, as the two allies began a joint naval exercise amid heightened tensions with North Korea. The evacuation drill, known as Courageous Channel, is scheduled from next Monday through Friday and is aimed at preparing American 'service members and their families to respond to a wide range of crisis management events such as noncombatant evacuation and natural or man-made disasters,' the United States military said in a statement."

A matrix converter based Inductive Power Transfer system
Bac, Nguyen Xuan, Vilathgamuwa, D. Mahinda, & Madawala, Udaya K. (2012) A matrix converter based Inductive Power Transfer system. In Proceedings of the 2012 Conference on Power & Energy (IPEC 2012), IEEE, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, pp. 509-514.
Typical Inductive Power Transfer (IPT) systems employ two power conversion stages to generate a high frequency current from low frequency utility supply. This paper proposes a matrix converter based IPT system that facilitates the generation of high frequency current through a single power conversion stage. The proposed matrix converter topology transforms a 3-phase low frequency voltage system to a high frequency single phase voltage which in turn powers a series compensated IPT system. A comprehensive mathematical model is developed to investigate the behavior of the proposed IPT topology. Theoretical results are presented in comparison to simulations, which are performed in Matlab/ Simulink, to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed concept and the validity of the developed model.

This article covers a question relative to the double determination and dialecticityin the concept of labour, as developed by Marx from the Hegelian dialectics. It seeksto demonstrate the ontological signiﬁcance of the concept to the Marxian thought,a key element in his critics as a path to self-conscience and as a territory foralienation. Through the inquiry on the concepts of abstraction concreteness inrelation to labour, it hopes to clarify its employment and epistemological reach asit provides an understanding of alienation as a process of abstraction that,projected in the social relations of production, becomes concrete.

Daffodils, primroses harken spring
BOYLSTON -- In Greek mythology, Narcissus was a young man whose beauty was so great, he fell in love with his own reflection.
In nature, narcissus is another name for the daffodil, the flower which locally is one of the first signs that a harsh winter has reached its end. Is it any wonder that the sight of hundreds of daffodils in bloom is bound to take your breath away?
That will be the case this weekend at Tower Hill Botanic Garden, which plays host to both the Seven State Daffodil Show and the 56th National Primrose Show, honoring two types of plants whose appearance signal "spring."
This year marks only the second time in its 56-year history that the National Primrose Show has been held on the East Coast -- previous shows have been held in Washington, Alaska and British Columbia, a tribute to the primrose's dominance there. On the East Coast, primroses pop up as the potted plants with bright pastel flowers that brighten garden centers and grocery stores in February and March, said Michael Arnum, public relations coordinator at Tower Hill.
"Many (local) gardeners do use them in rock gardens, but you need the right conditions," Arnum said. "Many are hardy, but they need a lot of moisture plus good drainage."
The Seven State Daffodil Show, meanwhile, will feature hundreds of cut daffodil specimens from gardens around New England and New York state. While the classic daffodil is yellow, varieties range from cream, orange and red to pinks and greens. Daffodils will be judged in 13 divisions, along with a floral design competition to showcase the exhibitors' creative talents.
The indoor and outdoor gardens at Tower Hill now boast tens of thousands of daffodils, along with other spring flowers.
The Primrose Show opens to the public at 11 a.m. on Saturday. A presentation by Matt Mattus of the American Primrose Society will be held at 1:30 p.m., followed by a slide lecture by American Primrose Society President Ed Buyarski at 3:30 p.m.
On the daffodil side, a daffodil tour of the Tower Hill grounds will be held at noon with David Burdick, daffodil grower and expert. The show itself will open around 1 p.m., at the conclusion of judging.
On Sunday, both shows open at 10 a.m., with an 11 a.m. slide presentation by Dianne Mrak of the Daffodil Society on "Daffodils in Landscapes and Arrangements." At 2 p.m., there will be a presentation by Janet Sacks and Marty Schafer on growing primroses from seed.
The Seven State Daffodil Show and the 56th National Primrose Show are included with regular admission to Tower Hill Botanic Garden, 11 French Drive, Boylston. Admission is $8 adults, $5 seniors and youth aged 6-18. For more information call 508-869-6111 or visit www.towerhillbg.org.

The Freedom of Information (FOI) Act is an important piece of legislation which has been passed in many countries to promote transparency in the government's administrative process. With this act, citizens are empowered to make a formal request to get information which is held by the government, barring certain sensitive and important data related to the nation's security. In some countries, this law also states that the government is duty-bound to publish information in the spirit of openness and transparency.
In most countries, their constitutions provide the right to information. However, unless this has been passed as legislation, it does not have much power and the request for information can be rejected. Unfortunately, this has been the case in Philippines for the past fourteen years. While Section 7 of Article III recognizes the right to information, and even the Supreme Court has passed many decisions based on this right, still there is no legislation which lays out accessing procedures for information, or penalties when this right is denied.
A Lower House bill for FOI was passed in the Philippines in 2008, but the counterpart bill needed in the Senate to make it into a law is still pending. In 2009, the bill failed ratification because the House of Representatives lacked the required quorum. Several attempts were made after that but the situation remains almost the same. President PNoy has lately come under a lot of criticism for failing to make FOI a priority bill.

- President Aquino flip-flops on Freedom of Info bill | Inquirer News
President Benigno Aquino III indicated he was not ready to include the freedom of information (FOI) bill on his list of priority measures, saying too much transparency may prove to be a bane rather than a benefit.
Open Government Partnership 2012
Many people are quite confused about the president's intentions as he seems to be sending mixed signals. On one hand the president is participating with eight other countries in the Open Government Partnership (OGP) initiated by President Obama of United States. This partnership is for promoting active participation of citizens in the governing process and increasing transparency in all procedures.
On the other hand, the president is not taking any credible steps for making the Freedom of Information Act a reality. He even failed to discuss FOI in his recent address to the nation which was only a few days after the OGP meeting.
The main argument of the government is that it is difficult to achieve the right balance between stopping the revelation of sensitive data and providing information which may be required by the public. The congress and government have been working on the bill for a long time but have not come to a conclusive format and it may take longer to draft the ideal bill.
In this regard, it is important to discuss the merits and demerits of Freedom of Information Act in general. The merits of course are many, and the main ones are transparency in governing processes and legitimate distribution of funds allotted for various public purposes. In any governing body, there are always different levels of bureaucratic corruption which can be drastically reduced by a strong FOI act. People can access info about the allocation of public money and how it is being used. Government departments can be held accountable if there is any discrepancy in the data and the actual work done. People can also gather data about projects which are unduly stalled and form a strong case against the public officials. In many countries which have strong FOI laws, there is an emergence of activist groups who keep a strong eye on various aspects of the governing process. They act as watchdogs, which in itself serves as a strong deterrent for any misuse of funds or complacency.
Disadvantages of Freedom of Information Act
Although there are many merits to having a Freedom of Information Act, there are certain disadvantages that cannot be overlooked. The main one is the threat to national security, which can be internal or external. Certain information could be used to incite strong public disturbance and riots which could possibly destabilize the government. Complaints of a frivolous nature can cause a huge waste of time and funds of the government, or for discrediting politicians and public officials for partisan purposes and gain. External threats also cannot be ruled out, as certain sensitive financial information can get into the hands of other countries that are plotting to cause trouble.
However, one cannot disregard the Freedom of Information Act solely on the basis of these demerits. They can be overcome by putting in clauses and safeguards which can offset the disadvantages. Neighbouring countries like India, Indonesia and Thailand have passed effective legislation, which not only empower the public to get the relevant information but also safeguards the sovereignty of these respective countries. Therefore, it is quite clear that effective legislation is possible and that it simply all boils down to the will of the Philippine government and the politicians to make this into a reality.

DELAFIELD, Wis. (Stockpickr) -- Professional traders running mutual funds and hedge funds don't just look at a stock's price moves; they also track big changes in volume activity. Often when above-average volume moves into an equity, it precedes a large spike in volatility.
Unusual volume can also be a major signal that hedge funds and momentum traders are piling into a stock ahead of a catalyst. These types of traders like to get in well before a large spike, so it's always a smart move to monitor unusual volume. That said, remember to combine trend and price action with unusual volume. Put them all together to help you decipher the next big trend for any stock.
With that in mind, let's take a look at several stocks rising on unusual volume recently.
Changeyou.com (CYOU) develops and operates online games in the People's Republic of China. This stock closed up 5.5% at $30.85 in Monday's trading session.
Monday's Volume: 781,000
Three-Month Average Volume: 344,692
Volume % Change: 165%
From a technical perspective, CYOU jumped higher here back above its 50-day moving average of $29.90 with above-average volume. This move is quickly pushing shares of CYOU within range of triggering a big breakout trade. That trade will hit if CYOU manages to take out its 200-day moving average at $31.19 and then once it clears more resistance at $31.69 with high volume.
Traders should now look for long-biased trades in CYOU as long as it's trending above Monday's low of $29.50 or above $29 and then once it sustains a move or close above those breakout levels with volume that hits near or above 344,692 shares. If that breakout gets underway soon, then CYOU will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance level at $34.32. Any high-volume move above that level will then give CYOU a chance to re-fill some of its previous gap-down-day zone from last October that started at $38.

The human brain is one of the most fascinating and essential body parts. It helps us develop creative processes to do our work effectively, store all our favorite memories, perform challenging tasks, and much more. It is how important the brain is. If your brain stops functioning, you won’t be able to perform a single activity.
Unfortunately, most people don’t ignore brain health until they reach old age or are diagnosed with memory loss, cognitive problems, and other brain-related challenges. If you want a healthy life away from any brain disorders, you should make efforts to keep your brain healthy from a young age.
While some people may require neurological supplements to maintain a healthy brain, others can do it in natural ways. You don’t have to perform extreme tasks to keep your brain healthy. Small yet consistent efforts are all that are needed. To help you move in the right direction, we’ve curated this ultimate guide that covers the top five ways to keep your brain healthy, regardless of age. So let’s learn more about the ways shared below.
After talking to healthcare experts, we found that keeping the heart healthy is crucial for your brain. You won’t encounter any chronic brain disorders as long as the blood keeps moving smoothly through your heart and blood vessels. Hindered blood supply to your brain can increase the risk of neurodegenerative diseases. Even your artery walls hardening due to plaque accumulation can result in atherosclerosis.
It is a condition where the brain fails to receive the required amount of blood to nurture brain cells. If timely medical intervention is not done, it can develop into an ischemic stroke, causing significant brain damage. If you’re taking neurological supplements, things can be better for you. But those who don’t should make all efforts to keep their heart healthy. Following a nutritious diet, not smoking, regular exercising, and maintaining a BMI of less than 25 can help you maintain a healthy heart.
Your brain helps do all tasks when you’re awake, so giving it some rest is essential. Many medical experts believe people should get at least seven to nine hours of sleep daily. Proper sleep helps reset the brain, allowing it to heal, and restore. The brain tends to clear out toxins like beta-amyloids when we sleep. These toxins can lead to Alzheimer’s and other chronic brain disorders if the toxins are allowed to stay for long.
If you have difficulty sleeping, try some meditation before going to bed. Keeping your gadgets and devices away also helps in sleeping. You can consult a doctor regarding neurological supplements if you feel they can help you sleep better.
People believe that being active during the day only helps lose fat and get in shape faster. In reality, physical activities can also help you maintain a healthy brain. Whether you go out for a 30-minute walk or do an intense cardio session; any physical activity would work as long as you’re consistent with it. Exercising or moving our body helps maintain a seamless blood flow to the brain.
Several studies have highlighted that proper blood flow can increase the hippocampus size, which generally tends to shrink with age. Hippocampus is the brain part responsible for our memory. You can also consider pairing regular exercises with some neurological supplements to improve your overall brain health.
One of the most highly effective ways to keep your brain healthy throughout your lifetime is by consuming a nutrient-dense meal regularly. Food items high in omega-3 fatty acids and low in saturated fats can have a massively positive impact on your brain health.
You will have difficulty maintaining a healthy brain if you rely primarily on junk food high in saturated fats. To start seeing better results, try switching to a healthy diet. You can include items like leafy vegetables, fish, fruits, nuts, etc., to fulfill the desired nutritional requirements. If you drink high quantities of caffeine, try to limit its consumption to 2 cups a day, as anything above this quantity will start giving adverse effects. If you truly don’t want to rely too much on neurological supplements, try switching to a healthy diet today.
You can notice considerable improvements in your brain health if you socialize more offline instead of spending hours on social media platforms. When you socialize more, you make it easier for blood to circulate to different brain parts. The blood flow happens when you’re busy listening or formulating responses. Increased socialization also helps reduce your chances of developing depression. If you don’t have enough friends, you can consider spending time learning a new skill.
We cannot emphasize enough the importance of having a healthy brain. It is the one element that helps you perform all daily activities easily and perfectly. If you don’t want your life to have unpleasant hindrances, having a healthy brain is a must. You can use some doctor-recommended neurological supplements to maintain your brain’s health or follow the simple yet effective ways discussed above. These ways are time-tested, so you won’t be disappointed.

Recently a patron asked me why he was unable to find information on his ancestors who arrived before the Mayflower. I explained that Plymouth Colony was the first permanently settled colony in New England. What I told him was technically true, but I later discovered that an earlier colony had been established in Maine. During the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, England, France, and Spain all had their eyes on the New World, hoping to take advantage its great wealth of resources.
Explorers had visited this area of the Maine coast many times, but the history of what would become known as the Popham or Sagadahoc Colony really began with the voyage of Captain George Weymouth to the mouth of the Kennebec River in 1605. Weymouth scouted the area of the Kennebec, noting the rich forests, fields, and streams strong enough to power mills. Making friends with the natives, he subsequently betrayed them by abducting five of their number and conveying them to England.
The arrival in England of Captain Weymouth with his captives created quite a sensation. Sir Ferdinando Gorges, a favorite of the king’s, took three of the Indians into his own home. Sir John Popham, Chief Justice of England, became guardian of the remaining two. After learning the English language, they were able to confirm all that Captain Weymouth reported. It was this information that led the way to the settlements of Jamestown, Sagadahoc, Plymouth, and Massachusetts Bay.
Encouraged by their promising accounts, Gorges obtained a grant on 10 April 1606 from King James I for territory in Virginia and all land north to the St. Lawrence River. He enlisted Popham in his scheme and with the support of others arranged for the settlement of two plantations in America.
Organizers of the First Colony, which was undertaken by certain noblemen, gentlemen, and merchants in London, sent a ship to southern Virginia, the future Jamestown Colony, on 20 December 1606. In their enthusiasm to establish the Second Colony, Popham and Gorges dispatched a ship to the new world in August of 1606 but it was captured by hostile Spaniards.
[The] experiment was an unfortunate failure…
Undaunted, Popham and Gorges sent two more ships to Maine on 31 May 1607 with 150 men and boys on board which arrived on 8 August. It is said that the first sermon conducted in New England was given shortly after their arrival. It was also claimed that the first ship constructed in New England was built in the Popham Colony and sailed to England a year after its settlement. This claim has since been disputed.
In any case, the experiment was an unfortunate failure. A few months after their arrival some of the settlers returned to England. Interestingly, the colony did not experience the severe famine and disease that decimated Jamestown and Plymouth in the first winter. The death of one of their leaders, George Popham, the failure of the colony to be financially self-sufficient, and the harsh winter climate convinced the remaining population to return to England the following year.
While in Maine, they did have some successes. They built a fort and managed to ship some sassafras and timber, but the spices they desired and the metals and minerals they expected to mine failed to materialize.
As a side note, the actual location of the fort was unknown for more than two hundred years. In 1888, a researcher for an American diplomat discovered in a government archive in Madrid a map of the fort drawn by a Popham colonist. Most likely it was taken or copied by a Spanish spy shortly after its arrival in England. Surprisingly, there was little or no interest in the map until 1995. Using the map as a guide, an archaeological dig discovered the fort two years later.
My initial interest in Popham was the possibility of another colony in New England preceding Plymouth. However, learning of the role that the Popham Colony played in the establishment of the future settlements in America became an even greater interest to me.

Ahead of the 2019 general elections, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has explained the controversy trailing the alleged creation of additional 30,000 additional polling units across the country.
Rotimi Oyekanmi, who is the Chief Press Secretary to INEC Chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu on Tuesday during Channels Television’s Breakfast Programme, Sunrise Daily, said the allegation is false.
“INEC is not about to create 30,000 polling units. What happened is that we received requests from all over the country.
“In total as we speak, about 3,789 requests from all over the country from people asking us to create new polling units in their new settlements,” he said.
The electoral umpire has come under serious criticism from political stakeholders, especially the main opposition party Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of planning to rig next year’s election with the creation of additional polling booths.
But Oyekanmi debunked this claim. He said the Commission only received requests to create more polling units due to increase population and other factors.
“This should not be unexpected because the population is growing, new settlements are springing up and because of clashes all over the place, people are moving from one place to the other.
“And we have existing polling units. So if new settlements are coming up and the number is increasing, it is natural for people to say we would like to participate, come and create polling units.”
The INEC official explained that despite the requests, the commission was not in a hurry to create more voting centers.
“When we receive such requests, we decided then to ask our Resident Electoral Commissioners in the state for information.
“We wanted to know the new settlements, areas where there are barriers, areas where communal clashes push people out to places and it is based on this report that we will now look at what could be done about the profiling in the country,” he explained.
With the election about 300 days from now, Nigerians expect that INEC would avoid distractions from political gladiators and focus on how to deepen the nation’s democracy by improving on the electoral process. (Channels TV)

Welcome back superhero enthusiasts, 1990s culture enthusiasts and comic book collectors! Today we go back to the early 1990s and explore a part of the Valiant Comics shared universe through the Harbinger monthly series.
In my previous retro review, Peter/Sting, Kris, Faith/Zephyr, Charlene/Flamingo and John/Torque travel to another city where they meet Ax, a computer specialist with Harbinger potential. This gradually sparks a chain events that lead to one wild outcome to another. Indeed, issue #3 was really fun and compelling to read.
With those details laid down, here is a look back at Harbinger #4, published in 1992 by Valiant Comics with a story written by Jim Shooter and drawn by David Lapham.
The story begins inside an alien facility on the moon. With her teammates unconscious and Ax suffering from the intense pain on his genitals, Flamingo finds herself alone facing a freakish cyborg and alien pawns. She only has her power of heat as her weapon and defense. Even though she got hurt, Flamingo manages to heat up a part of the floor near her which causes the freakish cyborg to fall down into an unexpected deep pit.
With not much time left, Flamingo manages to free Sting, Kris, Torque and Faith. Just before leaving for Earth, Sting decides to bring the traitorous Ax with them into the space ship. After some computer work done by Ax, the ship then shifts into auto-pilot mode going to Earth…
The story here is remarkably written, believable and engaging to read. While the events in issues #2 and #3 had their respective wild turn of events, the story here literally grounded itself yet managed to deliver spectacle as well as a new conflict for the readers to focus on. Without spoiling the plot, I can say that Ax, the newcomer in issue #3, has a stronger presence in this comic book and you will get to see more of the impulsive and obsessive sides of his personality which leads to a new conflict (note: Sting and the team face-off with a worthy force of opposition).
The most attractive feature of the writing done by Jim Shooter for this comic book is characterization. Remember how the main characters in The Empire Strikes Back got developed a lot as a result of getting separated? You will some of that here and you will be delighted to see Faith, Kris, Flamingo and Torque return into their private lives which is a creative pay-off in relation to how much time they spent together in the previous issues. Along the way, you will feel their emotions and even relate with the changes they went through. Like a 1980s Hollywood movie about American teenagers, the story sheds light on the aspect of young adults wanting to be with each other as a result of them living with a false sense of maturity or independence. Remember when I mentioned that Peter and his team got away with committing crime in issue #2? Their complete disregard of guilt highlights their failure of taking responsibility of their actions.
If you are looking for superhero spectacle, you will find a good amount of that right here. You should read this comic book and find out why.
Harbinger #4 (1992) is another very solid read from the Shooter-Lapham team. This comic book literally grounded itself into Earth but still delivered a careful mix of plotting, character development and superhero action. At this stage, the team of Sting, Torque, Kris, Flamingo and Faith just keeps on persevering with their shared co-existence even though they have an uncertain future with the Harada organization still hunting them.
Overall, Harbinger #4 (1992) is highly recommended!

Groundbreaking Ceremony to Celebrate New High School
The funding for construction of the school was provided by the community's passage of a no-tax increase bond issues in April 2007 and 2010. A committee of community members, parents and school district staff worked with the architecture firm DLR Group in conjunction with Simon Oswald Associates and Engineering Surveys and Services to design the approximately 300,000 square foot building.
The design includes numerous environmentally friendly features and will have a capacity to hold 1,800 to 2,000 students. The administration areas, gymnasium, physical education space, auditorium, media center and commons areas are organized to provide maximum flexibility, convenience and comfort for staff and students.
Academic classrooms are located throughout the building to best meet the needs of the program, teachers and students. Shared public spaces such as the gym, auditorium, media center and commons area are designed to be easily accessible by community members and district patrons.
Additional information about the school construction and planning process is available on the Columbia Public Schools' Web site at www.columbia.k12.mo.us.

PARIS - The trial of 20 men accused in a series of coordinated attacks on Paris in 2015 that spread fear across Europe and transformed France opened Wednesday in a custom-built complex embedded within a 13th-century courthouse.
Nine Islamic State group gunmen and suicide bombers struck within minutes of one another at several locations around Paris on Nov. 13, 2015, leaving 130 people dead and hundreds wounded. It was the deadliest violence to strike France since World War II and among the worst terror attacks to hit the West.
The worst carnage was at the Bataclan concert hall, where three men with assault rifles gunned down scores of people and grabbed a handful of hostages. Others targeted the national soccer stadium, where the president was attending a game, as well as cafes filled with people on a mild autumn night.
The lone surviving attacker from that night, Salah Abdeslam, is the key defendant — but he has so far refused to speak to investigators, denying them answers to many of the remaining questions about the attacks and the people who planned them. Abdeslam, whose brother was among the suicide bombers, appeared wearing a black short-sleeved shirt and black trousers, his long hair tied back.
When asked to state his profession, he declared he was "a fighter for Islamic State" after intoning a prayer.
A French Gendarme officer stands guard as people arrive to attend the start of the trial of the November 2015 Paris attacks' defendants, at a temporary courtroom set up for the proceedings, at the Palais de Justice of Paris - Paris' courthouse, on Se
Abdeslam, who fled the night of the attacks after ditching his car and a malfunctioning suicide vest, is the only defendant charged with murder. The other defendants present face lesser terrorism charges.
The presiding judge, Jean-Louis Peries, acknowledged the extraordinary nature of the attacks, which changed security in Europe and France's political landscape, and the trial to come. France only emerged from the state of emergency declared in the wake of the attacks in 2017, after incorporating many of the harshest measures into law.
"The events that we are about to decide are inscribed in their historic intensity as among the international and national events of this century," he said.
Dominique Kielemoes, whose son bled to death at one of the cafes, said hearing victims' testimonies at the trial will be crucial to both their own healing and that of the nation.
"The assassins, these terrorists, thought they were firing into the crowd, into a mass of people. But it wasn’t a mass — these were individuals who had a life, who loved, had hopes and expectations, and that we need to talk about at the trial. It’s important," she said.
Of the 20 men charged, six will be tried in absentia. Abdeslam will be questioned multiple times — but it remains to be seen if he will break his silence beyond the sort of allegiance he offered Wednesday to Islamic State groups.
"We were expecting it, and we were prepared for it and in fact, we’re not expecting anything from him," Kielemoes said after Abdeslam first appeared.
The same IS network that hit Paris went on to strike Brussels months later, killing another 32 people.
Authorities have to extraordinary lengths to ensure security at the trial, building an entirely new courtroom within the storied 13th-century Palais de Justice in Paris, where Marie Antoinette and Emile Zola faced trial, among others.
Survivors of the attacks as well as those who mourn their dead on Wednesday packed the complex's rooms, which were designed to hold 1,800 plaintiffs and over 300 lawyers.
For the first time, victims can also have a secure audio link to listen from home if they want with a 30-minute delay.
The trial is scheduled to last nine months. The month of September will be dedicated to laying out the police and forensic evidence. October will be given over to victims’ testimony. From November to December, officials including then-French President François Hollande — who was at the Stade de France on the night of the assaults — will testify, as will relatives of the attackers.
In the wake of the attacks, France changed: Authorities immediately declared a state of emergency and now armed officers constantly patrol public spaces. The assaults sparked soul-searching among the French and Europeans more broadly since most of the perpetrators were born and raised in France or Belgium. And they transformed forever the lives of all those who suffered losses or bore witness to the violence.
"Our ability to be carefree is gone," Kielemoes said. "The desire to go out, travel — all of that’s gone. Even if we still do a number of things, our appetite for life has disappeared."
For Jean-Luc Wertenschlag, who lives above the cafe where his son died and who rushed downstairs soon after the first gunshots to try to save lives, it has even changed the way he moves around the city where he was born and raised. He never leaves home without the first aid gear he lacked that night, when he ripped off his shirt to stanch the bleeding of a victim.
"What we did that evening with other people, to provide assistance to the people wounded during the attack, was a way to stand against what these monsters had tried to do to us," he said.
Among those scheduled to testify is Hollande, who in addition to being present at one of the scenes of attack gave the final order to police special forces to storm the Bataclan.
Hollande said Wednesday he would speak "not for the sake of French politics, but for the victims of the attacks." He said he keenly felt the weight of responsibility that night and for the days and weeks after it.
"When the cameras are turned off, you go back to the solitude of the Elysée (presidential palace)," Hollande told told France-Info. "You ask what can I do? ... Is what just happened going to change society?"
Wednesday's hearing paused briefly after one of the defendants appeared to have a medical issue. When it resumed, Abdeslam burst out in fury.
"We should be treated like human beings. We're not dogs," he said, before being ordered to be silent.
None of the proceedings will be televised or rebroadcast to the public, but they will be recorded for archival purposes. Video recording has only been allowed for a handful of cases in France considered to be of historical value, including last year's trial for the 2015 attacks against the Charlie Hebdo newspaper in Paris and a kosher supermarket.
Associated Press journalists Angela Charlton, Alex Turnbull and Catherine Gaschka contributed to this report.

I have done many different looks and love the diversity of locations I have been able to work in. From motorcycle shoots to studio, indoors and out, I enjoy it all. My nationality is Hawaiian, Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Germany, and I'm sure there is more. As you can see I'm a bit of a mutt. The benefit of being a mutt is I can pull of several different looks like an island girl, perhaps an Indian princess, cowgirl, or just your everyday brown eyed girl! I want to have fun and help create beautiful images for everyone to enjoy. I am looking forward to expanding my career in modeling and hope to hear from you soon!!! I'm looking for professional photographers only as I already have a portfolio built. No TFP thank you! To see more pics check out my facebook page- Mi Cherie' Modeling!

Former Aviva executive joins utility
New British Gas boss handed multi-million pound pay deal
Mark Hodges, who joins on 1 June, will receive up to £2.5 million a year if he exceeds his targets, with the prospect of a further £2.5m in cash and shares over three years.
His remuneration consists of £625,000 in basic salary and an annual bonus equal to the same amount if he hits his targets and twice that sum for outperformance.
In addition, there is an annual long term incentive award of up to 300% of salary based on a mix of financial and non-financial measures over three years, with any shares due released after five years.
The pay and bonus deal comes as an inquiry is under way into charging by utility companies. Mr Hodges may also face an immediate challenge if Labour comes to power next month. Ed Miliband has promised to freeze household energy prices and give consumers a better deal.
Mr Hodges, a former UK chief executive of Aviva, spent more than 20 years with the company, formerly known as Norwich Union.
Most recently he was group chief executive of Towergate Partnership, the specialist insurance broker.
Centrica said he brings a “strong understanding of the UK consumer market and a track record in improving business performance”. It said his experience of working in a regulated environment was another key factor in his appointment.
Ian Peters, interim managing director of British Gas, which trades as Scottish Gas north of the border, will remain with Centrica and take on the role of director, customer facing strategy.

The fact remains that stress doesn’t cause ulcers. Peptic and duodenal ulcers are caused by a bacteria called H. pylori. It’s like saying mosquitoes cause Malaria when in real sense it’s caused by Plasmodium spp. Stress is just like a catalyst (doesn’t part in reaction but speeds up rate of reaction).
Other than H.pylor, Peptic and duodenal ulcers are caused by prolonged use of Non-steroidal Inflammatory
This is the scientific approach basing on body physiology.
When you are exposed to a psycological trigger that is a danger or a shocking thing, your body responds by the hypothalamus part of brain releasing hormones that act on adrenal gland on kidney to produce stress managing hormones.
The adrenal medulla secretes adrenaline hormones: epinephrine and norepinephrine thus intiating “fight and flight responses” This is like body alarm, it will stay on unless the situation is solved.
The adrenal cortex secretes hydrocortisone or cortisol hormone. This is a primary stress hormones that also affects blood pressure, blood sugar among other physiological function.
One particular function that’s impaired to stomach is reduced gut motility. There is reduced blood supply to the stomach and intestines. This even slows digestion and results to loss of appetite. Staying on empty stomach allows the susceptibility of stomach tunica mucosal layer to action of hydrochloric acid. This will corrode the wall and still result to symptoms of ulcers.
The prolonged pyscological stress is even worse to the suspected, those healing, or those on ulcer monitoring program.

Corey Hart hasn’t played since June 21, 2015 after a series of knee injuries sapped his effectiveness and pushed him out of the game. At the time he was with the Pittsburgh Pirates. In 2014 he played for the Mariners.
His career, however, was defined by the nine seasons he played for the Milwaukee Brewers, where he hit .276/.334/.491 and was a two-time All-Star. He didn’t have a formal retirement ceremony back in 2015 — he just told his agent to stop taking calls from teams — but he’s getting one now.
The Brewers are honoring Hart with induction into (onto?) their “Wall of Honor.” He’s getting a plaque commemorating his career permanently installed at Miller Park and he’s being honored him with a pregame ceremony prior to that night’s contest against the Miami Marlins. Oh, and he’s signing one of those one-day contracts so he can officially retire as a Brewer:

After a rough few months, August had crypto investors talking about a bull run again. The total market cap for the whole cryptocurrency market went back above the $2 trillion mark for the first time since May. Ethereum’s (ETH) London upgrade and speculation on Cardano’s (ADA) smart contracts saw both coins post healthy gains.
So which coins should be on your watchlist this month? Let’s take a look.
1. Cardano (ADA)
Cardano’s price already increased over 100% in August, but September will still be a big month for the coin that wants to use blockchain to solve real-world problems. On September 12, Cardano will finally launch its smart contract functionality. (Smart contracts are tiny pieces of self-executing code that live on the blockchain.) And on September 25–26, Cardano will host a series of virtual and live events in the Cardano Summit.
Cardano has its share of critics, and it might be that early speculation on the September launch means we won’t see more big short-term gains. But in the long term, it is still one of the most solid and exciting undertakings in the crypto world. Its research-driven approach may be slow, but should result in a robust and sustainable platform. And it is already delivering several projects in Africa. The big challenge will be attracting developers once the smart contracts are up and running.
2. OMG Network (OMG)
In addition to having a great name, OMG is making strides in the digital payment space. It works directly with banks and aims to create products that appeal to both existing banking customers and those who don’t currently have access to banking services.
OMG’s strategic partner and core contributor, Enya, has just launched Boba Network, which it describes as a “next-generation” layer 2 solution. Boba promises to process thousands of transactions a second and at a fraction of the cost of the Ethereum network.
Layer 2 solutions refer to various protocols that sit on top of the existing blockchain and improve its scalability. For OMG, formerly OmiseGO, this means its payment processing speed could rival Visa’s. OMG aims to create a wallet that people could use to easily move any asset between different payment platforms — from traditional money to cryptocurrencies or even reward points. It isn’t clear how the partnership with Enya will unfold, but the deal combines Enya’s privacy and security with OMG’s payment solutions, making it a project to keep an eye on.
3. Helium (HNT)
Blockchain meets wifi in what the company calls the “People’s Network.” Helium can provide 5G connectivity around the world without the same costs associated with traditional telecoms infrastructure. It’s a powerful concept and a great example of how blockchain technology and cryptocurrency can solve day-to-day problems.
Helium’s hotspots are a bit like the wifi router in your house, but much more powerful. Called LongFi, they can reach 200 times further than an ordinary router. Individuals can set up Helium hotspots in their homes or offices and earn HNT tokens as a reward for providing increased wireless coverage to their communities.
There are already almost 150,000 hotspots around the world, including many in U.S. cities. For example, there are over 3,000 in Los Angeles alone. The company raised over $100 million in August, finding backing from prominent names in crypto investing like Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), Alameda Research, and Ribbit Capital.
4. VeChain (VET)
VeChain already gained 40% in August, as the supply chain platform continues to show what blockchain can achieve. VeChain uses blockchain technology to improve business processes and track each stage in the supply chain. For example, it already works with Walmart to track food products at each stage of the production and distribution process.
Last week, it announced a new platform that uses the blockchain ledger to track carbon footprints. VeChain’s tool is a transparent way for companies to monitor their carbon consumption across the whole supply chain. It says businesses could use the tool to provide their customers with “full oversight of carbon data and green claims.”
Do your own research
The coins listed above are available from several top cryptocurrency exchanges. I’ve also been watching some other less widely available coins this month like Audius (AUDIO), a decentralized music streaming service that has just partnered with TikTok.
A word of warning: Many analysts are concerned that Bitcoin (BTC) could dip again in September. Bitcoin has an outsized influence on the market as a whole. If it does fall, it could knock down the overall value of your portfolio, as the prices of various altcoins would probably follow suit. At the same time, this could present some good buying opportunities.
It may not happen — the crypto market is notoriously unpredictable and volatile. And other analysts are optimistic that Bitcoin can continue to increase. But it is another good reason to research carefully before investing, and keep an eye on the wider market trends.
Buy and sell cryptocurrencies on an expert-picked exchange
There are hundreds of platforms around the world that are waiting to give you access to thousands of cryptocurrencies. And to find the one that’s right for you, you’ll need to decide what features matter most to you.

Chamber consolidating Davenport sites; moving Moline office
Comment on this story
By Dawn Neuses, firstname.lastname@example.org
The Quad Cities Chamber of Commerce announced today it will consolidate its two downtown Davenport locations and move its Moline office this summer..
The chamber will sell its building at 7th Avenue and 19th Street in Moline and move into leased space in River Station, 1601 River Drive.
In addition, the Chamber will vacate offices it leases at 2nd and Main Streets in Davenport and consolidate its Iowa-side presence in space already used and owned by the Chamber at the New Ventures building at 3rd and Ripley streets.
The target date for the move is August 1.
According to a chamber news release, the goal is to increase the efficiency of operations while preserving easy access for members.Chamber leaders say the move meets current and future space needs.
"Since forming the Quad Cities Chamber of Commerce in 2010, we've taken many steps to run the most efficient, cost-effective organization possible on behalf of our members and the region," said Chamber CEO Tara Barney.
"We integrated four organizations into one and have gone from five offices in 2010 to three in 2011 and now look forward to operating comfortably and more efficiently in two," she added.
Volunteers serving on the chamber's Facilities Task Force believed havingprograms and services equally accessible in Illinois and Iowa was an important consideration. Task force chairman Paul VanDuyne said his committee spent several months studying the space needs of the organization, developing criteria for optimal functioning, and exploring commercial buildings throughout the Quad Cities before recommending the Moline and Davenport locations.
"We are excited to have the unanimous support of our board in developing what we believe will be professional, state-of-the-art work spaces that will be inviting for members and elevate the image of the Quad Cities as we deal with prospects for business attraction and expansion," said Mr. VanDuyne.
"We are especially pleased that our members will continue to have easy access to all Chamber programs and services from either location," he said.

As if Paul Bergrin needed another reason to appeal his conviction…
According to an article published online this morning by the Star Ledger, a juror by the name of Tad Hershorn went on record yesterday to discuss his role as a federal juror in the recently concluded trial of criminal defense attorney Paul Bergrin, who was convicted Monday afternoon on all 23 counts for which he was standing trial in a federal courtroom in Newark. The verdict was the culmination of a federal investigation that began in 2001 into allegations that Bergrin was using his Newark-based law firm as a guise for his criminal enterprise – an enterprise later accused of the most serious of crimes including Murder, Conspiracy to Commit Murder, Witness Tampering, Drug Trafficking, and Racketeering.
Hershorn initially admitted that he had read certain articles published in 2009 regarding the arrest of an allegedly greedy and dangerous lawyer accused of plotting the killing of witnesses in cases pending against his clients. He later realized, when he showed up in January of this year for federal jury duty, that the lawyer he had read about was Paul Bergrin, and he would be asked to serve as a juror on the trial that would see Bergrin face those very accusations – and many more.
Hershon, an archivist for the Institute of Jazz Studies, later called the case a “zoo,” and talked about the scope of witnesses that were paraded through the courtroom during the trial, “all the way from felons convicted of serious offenses to the murderer of a federal witness.”
Most alarming was Hershon’s repeated reference to the mounting testimony, documents, and tapes put forth by the federal prosecutors that created a pattern of criminal activity which, according to Hershon, in its totality, was impossible to deny. “I think the accumulation of evidence and witnesses and exhibits and the presentation was important…in terms of blending into an overall scope of the story,” said Hershon.
This statement appears, at a minimum, to support an inference that jurors did not heed instructions to consider the evidence as it pertained to each count of the indictment separately, and not be swayed by the perceived totality of the evidence.
Bergrin’s court-appointed supporting counsel, Lawrence Lustberg, had voiced the same sentiment following the announcement of the verdict. It will likely be a key issue on appeal for Bergrin – that it was critical error for US District Judge Dennis Cavanaugh not to sever out certain counts of the indictment and try them separately.
Lustberg echoed his concerns after the publication of Hershon’s interview. “When I hear a juror talking about the accumulation of evidence, it makes me extremely concerned that the jurors did not follow the judge’s instructions that each count must be considered separately,” Lustberg said, reiterating that the accumulation of evidence – 8 years worth of a government investigation – would be near impossible for a jury to ignore. “That was the reason that we moved for a severance.”
Less critical but still alarming were Hershon’s comments about the concerns that he had for his own safety in being tasked with judging Bergrin and the credibility of various felon-witnesses that were called to testify. “I had mixed feelings,” Hershon said, “I don’t know if I want some of these people sitting around for three months getting to know what I look like.” Hershon also managed to comment on the credibility of Bergrin himself, calling him a “somewhat seedy, swachbuckling lawyer” and criticizing him for representing himself. “As smart as he is…you cannot totally disguise who you are.”
Yet, despite the breadth of the evidence and the complexity of the charges against Bergrin, the jury was unanimous on all 23 counts in less than 2 days. With the insight now provided by Hershon’s interview, there are many questions swirling…
Had Hershon, and perhaps other jurors, pre-judged the case
Is it possible that the jury began discussing their verdict before deliberations formally began
And, most importantly, did the jury disregard instructions to consider each count separately and, instead, decide Bergrin’s fate based on the “totality of the evidence ”
We will likely never get definitive answers those questions, but one question will inevitably be answered…
Will Bergrin’s conviction stand Stay tuned…
For more information on the Hershon interview, see the Star-Ledger article entitled, “Juror in Bergrin trial talks about verdict and a case he’ll never forget.”

|Identify Bean & Veggie 60 Cap|
Quantity in Basket:
Free Shipping to All US Addresses
Manufacturer: Enzyme Science
Carbohydrates are our main source of fuel for the body, both immediate and in the long term. They are necessary to sustain life, as other food nutrients (fat and protein) cannot be properly assimilated by the body without them. Carbohydrates provide a continuous source of energy between meals and even while we are sleeping. This energy supports our immune system, promotes the growth of bones and assists in skin rejuvenation.
Some medical experts recommend that 45-65% of our diet be made up of carboyhdrates of which the majority should come from complex carbohydrates (vegetables & beans) and only a few from simple (sugars). Unfortunately, many individuals experience digestive discomfort when consuming a diet rich in fibrous food. Grains, seeds, beans and vegetables contain high quantities of cellulose, and the human body does not produce cellulase, the enzyme needed to break down this dietary fiber.
Identify Bean & Veggie contains a full spectrum of carbohydrate and fiber digesting enzymes to assist in the digestion of gas-forming foods. Crucial to the formula is the enzyme alpha-galactosidase which digests the sugars from legumes (beans), grains and cruciferous vegetables.* Additional enzymes are included to promote digestion and assimilation of starch, glycogen and related polysaccharides.
