Baked Trout With Almonds and Ginger Butter is a fabulous fish dish that we regularly enjoy. It’s economical, it’s delicious, it’s quick and simple to cook and it’s… full of fat.
Not a problem when you’re already experiencing the health-restorative benefits of a Primal ketogenic diet, but probably concerning for people who still believe conventional wisdom telling them to stay away from fat, particularly saturated fat, because it clogs up your arteries and contains cholesterol that will kill you!
The consumption of saturated fat and cholesterol foods does not raise blood cholesterol and trigger the heart disease process. In fact, the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans state: “dietary cholesterol is no longer a nutrient of concern”. Shame that since the early 1960’s, the medical establishment, government and food industry have been indoctrinating people with the idea that vegetable oils are good and butter is bad. I honestly believe that if my father hadn’t been told by his doctor to ditch butter and lard and use Flora margarine and Mazola corn oil instead, he might not have suffered the stroke that disabled him in his early fifties, and a further stroke that killed him when he was just 57 years old.
Finally, the tide is beginning to turn; the flawed diet-heart hypothesis is being rejected and the health conscious already know that low-fat diet advice is dead. Not that food processing giants, grain producers, many diet ‘experts’ and hitherto well-respected doctors are about to change their minds. They still postulate that a lower intake of fat, a move away from saturated fat or an increase in PUFAs (polyunsaturated fatty acids), is best diet advice. With the exception of omega-3 fatty acids, nothing could be further from the truth.
Saturated fat and dietary cholesterol are not your enemy. The real risk factors for heart disease are oxidation and inflammation in the blood stream, which is caused by poor dietary and lifestyle choices. One of the most pernicious dietary causes of systemic inflammation and oxidation is the consumption of highly unstable, highly inflammatory, highly processed and refined vegetable oils - notably sunflower, corn, soybean, cottonseed, rapeseed (canola), safflower and peanut and the margarines, shortenings and spreads that contain them.
Vegetable oils are divided into two types: omega-6 and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). Omega-6 essential fatty acids are pro-inflammatory - they not only fuel inflammation throughout the body but also reduce the availability of omega-3s, resulting in more inflammation. Omega-3 essential fatty acids are widely accepted as anti-inflammatory.
Both omega-6 and omega-3s are called “essential” fatty acids because they can’t be made in the body and so must be obtained from food.
Whilst both are “essential” nutrients, you don’t need a lot of either and they need to be consumed in the right ratio of omega-6s to omega-3s; thought to be 4:1. This doesn’t happen in the modern diet - most people massively over-consume omega-6 fatty acids and under-consume omega-3s.
One of the most helpful analogies I’ve found compares these vital nutrients to hot and cold water taps. Omega-6 is the water coming from the hot tap (pro-inflammatory) and omega-3 the water from the cold tap (anti-inflammatory). Since you neither want your water too hot or too cold, you need just the correct mix of water from both taps to get the temperature just right.
When the water gets too hot (too much pro-inflammatory omega-6) the best remedy is to reduce the amount of water coming from the hot tap rather than adding more cold water (anti-inflammatory omega-3s) because excess consumption of polyunsaturates per se has been shown to contribute to a large number of diseases including increased cancer and heart disease; immune system dysfunction; damage to the liver, reproductive organs and lungs; digestive disorders; depressed learning ability; impaired growth; and weight gain.
So what of the cheap, clear, tasteless, vegetable oils found in clear plastic bottles on every supermarket shelf that for decades many health “experts” have urged us to eat? In contrast to the much maligned, saturated, nutrient-rich, natural fats found in butter, lard, tallow, dripping and coconut oil, which we traditionally ate and cooked with up until the 1900’s, PUFAs are extremely unstable and easily damaged when exposed to heat, light and oxygen. Thus, you should never cook with them. One reason the newfangled, so-called “vegetable” oils (actually they’re seed oils) are so injurious to health is because they’re subjected to insane amounts of toxic chemicals and immense amounts of heat during processing and refining, which causes them to oxidise and go rancid.
Rancidity causes lots of free radical damage that wreaks havoc in your body. Free radicals are renegade molecules that attack cell membranes and red blood cells and damage your DNA, triggering mutations in tissue, blood vessels, organs and skin (hello premature ageing and wrinkles!) plus a host of diseases from liver damage, to heart disease, to cancer.
If that wasn’t bad enough, most of these industrial oils are made from genetically engineered crops; are contaminated with glyphosate and residues of chemical solvents (hexane is a neurotoxin commonly used to extract seed oils); have most of their protective antioxidants removed; and are loaded with damaged omega-6 fatty acids. The oxidised oil further degrades inside its plastic bottle from continued exposure to light and from heat applied during cooking - particularly the repeated re-heating of the same batch of cooking oil, as is common in the food industry.
The single most important thing you can do for health is to avoid refined vegetable oils and all processed food that contains them e.g. salad dressings, baked goods, fast food, French fries and processed snacks such as nuts, popcorn and crisps. Whilst you’ll struggle with most restaurant food and takeaways, at least you don’t have to opt for cheap heat/chemical-extracted oils when you’re cooking and eating at home.
Ignore the Diet Dictocrats and media nonsense that would still have you believe that saturated fat and cholesterol is bad for you and that low-fat and vegetable oils are good. Grass-fed butter is one of the healthiest foods known to man, which you can read about in Weston A Price’s article Why Butter Is Better.
Don’t let the nay-sayers cause you to throw the baby out with the bath water. Start enjoying plenty of natural fat (without sugar, of course!) to help your body absorb nutrients, maximise metabolism and maintain optimal nerve, brain and heart function. This should be music to your ears if you’re trying to lose weight and stay trim. The main reason why high-fat, low carb diets, like the keto diet, are so effective for weight loss is because they help you eat fewer calories without noticing. Delicious LCHF (low-carb, high-fat) recipes such as Baked Trout With Almonds and Ginger Butter are fundamental to burning stored body fat as fuel for energy, while preserving all the pleasure of eating. For a list of fabulous fats Primal Plate recommends, please refer to Notes below.
The tastiest, freshest and easiest way to get two of the three omega-3 fatty acids (EPA & DHA) into your diet is to eat more oily fish like rainbow trout, mackerel, salmon and sardines, twice per week.
A cooked serving of rainbow trout is one of the richest sources of omega-3 fatty acids and also provides two days worth of B12 - essential for healthy nerves, blood cells and DNA - as well as calcium, potassium and selenium. Looks like I’m on a roll with today’s recipe!
The rainbow trout that I always purchase from Abel &Cole, have bright eyes and beautiful, glistening, silvery skins flanked with shimmering streaks of blue, pink and purple that lives up to their name. Far more economical than organic or wild salmon and available all year round, they are a great choice for dinner because they’re raised in an ecologically responsible way, they’re generously sized and as ‘fishy-on-a-dishy’ recipes go, they don’t get more enjoyable than a soft mouthful of delicate, pretty pink trout flesh happily paired with the buttery crunch of golden almonds and fiery fresh ginger juice.
Totally satisfying, totally yum, this dish contains nothing but good fats that are needed to protect your heart and brain and soothe inflammation from the inside out. Bye-bye eczema, allergies and brain fog. Hello health and happiness.
Baked Trout With Almonds and Ginger Butter (serves 4)
125g organic salted butter
4 whole rainbow trout, cleaned and prepped (see Instructions below)
75g fresh organic root ginger, finely grated
100g organic flaked almonds (also, Sainsbury’s SO Organic flaked almonds @ £1.95 for 100g)
Pre-heat the oven to 180℃ / 350℉ /Gas mark 4. Warm 4 large flat serving plates.
Line a large baking tray or oven grill pan with non-stick tin foil. Gently melt 25g of the butter in a small saucepan and with a pastry brush or piece of kitchen paper use some of it to lightly grease the non-stick foil.
Brush more melted butter inside each trout before seasoning with salt and pepper. Then use the rest of the butter to brush over both sides of the fish before seasoning with more salt and freshly ground pepper and laying them down on the foil-lined tray.
Place the tray on the top shelf of the pre-heated oven and bake the trout for 8 minutes.
Turn the oven grill to high and grill for a further 4 minutes.
While the trout are cooking, squeeze the grated ginger over a small bowl to extract the juice. You should have about 3 tablespoons.
Melt the remaining 100g of butter in a frying pan and when it starts to foam, add the flaked almonds and cook gently for 2-3 minutes until the nuts are golden.
Add the ginger juice and heat through for a few seconds before spooning it over the fish.
Serve with lightly steamed tender stem broccoli, fine green bean or sautéed spinach and mushrooms.
Although Abel & Cole’s rainbow trout arrive individually wrapped and cleaned, on the day you want to eat them I recommend you unwrap them and, with a sharp pair of heavy-duty kitchen scissors, remove the fins and gills and van-dyke the tails (cut into a neat ‘v’ shape). Heads can also be removed, if preferred.
Quickly rinse the fish under cold running water before drying off with wads of kitchen paper. If you’re not eating straight away, set the prepared trout out on a plate, cover and refrigerate until you’re ready to cook them.
Now, to meet those fat needs, here are some of the healthiest fat sources to choose from and include in your diet:
Polyunsaturated fats: cold pressed and rich in omega-3 fats and vitamins A & D: cod liver oil, perilla seed oil, fresh flaxseed oil (buy in small quantities and store in dark glass bottles in a refrigerator). ½ -1 teaspoon per day.
Organic 85-100% Dark Chocolate A small amount per day - 10-20 grams is about right for me!
Organic Nuts: Macadamias, almonds, pecans, pistachios, brazils, walnuts; not peanuts. No more than a small handful per day. If you’re following a ketogenic diet, it’s far too easy to snack on too many nutritious, but highly calorific nuts. If you’re trying to lose weight, you may be better off resisting the temptation and eliminating nuts from your diet entirely. Macadamias are my favourite because they’re a highly anti-inflammatory nut with a high monounsaturated fat content. Almonds are the second most anti-inflammatory nut and are a brilliant alternative to wheat flour and other grain flours for baking. Again, home-baked cake, cookies and crackers made with significant amounts of ground nuts are hard to resist; try to restrict how many of these foods you eat. Walnuts are the best nuts for omega-3 but but also the worst in terms of their omega-3 / omega-6 imbalance, which means you’d have to eat a lot of omega-3 foods to counteract their inflammatory effect. Because all nuts are high in polyunsaturates they’re best stored in cool, dark, airtight conditions. Freezing them isn’t a bad idea.

World Oldest Person Died
The world oldest person died on April 9 in Japan. Kane Tanaka considered the world’s oldest person died at 119. Although she didn’t make the goal of 120, she still lived long enough to become the oldest person in the Guinness world record.
Kane lived at a nursing home in Fukuoka for the past few years. Her family said she kept her body and mind engaged by doing math and other similar activities.
Kane Tanaka’s life:
On January 2, 1903, she was born before the Wright brothers brought power flight to the world. And this world oldest person died before reaching 120. Kane Tanaka was the seven number in her family, out of nine siblings.
When she was 19, she married the rice shop owner, Hideo Tanaka. She had four children, and she adopted the fifth one. She supported the family business by selling udon, sticky rice, and Japanese dessert zenzai.
Kane Tanaka loved chocolates. In 2019, a ceremony was held to celebrate her being the oldest person alive. At the ceremony, her friends gave her a box of chocolates. She immediately opened the chocolate box and started eating.
Throughout her life, she survived cancer twice and lived through two pandemics – the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic and the Covid-19 pandemic. According to the Guinness world record, Tanaka was also the second oldest person ever recorded, behind only Jeanne Calment, who lived at 122.
In January 2021, she celebrated her 119th birthday in Japan. Moreover, her family said she intended to live another year to reach her 120th birthday. Junko Tanaka, Tanaka’s great-granddaughter, launched a Twitter account in honour of her great-grandfather. She tweeted the birthday photos of her grandfather.
Other World records:
Sarah Knauss of the US had been called the second longest-lived woman in recorded history. Until now, a French women Louise Calment remain the longest-lived person at 122 years and 164 days. The oldest living person is now Lucile Randon, a 118-year-old French nun.
In Japan, out of 1565 people, only one crosses over 100 years of age, and most of them are women. According to statistics. Women have a life expectancy of around 87.45 years, while men have an average of 81.4 years.

Anemia is a major global disease burden factor linked to an adverse impact on overall prognosis and negatively affects the quality of life. Some suggested findings for anemia on non-contrast chest CT, like relatively dense interventricular septum (septal sign) or fairly dense aortic wall (aortic ring sign). The measured attenuation value is a reproducible physical density measurement, readily obtainable from a standard CT examination. There is no reliable cut-off for blood attenuation to suggest anemia on the non-contrast chest CT. The current study evaluated subjective and objective criteria’ diagnostic accuracy for diagnosing anemia on unenhanced thoracic CT.
Patients admitted to our academic hospital between June 2019 to March 2020 were candidates to be enrolled in this retrospective study. For the subjective assessment, the radiologists were asked to record the presence or absence of the “Aortic Ring Sign” and “Interventricular Septum Sign.” For the objective evaluations, blood density was measured at various anatomic locations.
A total of 325 patients were included in this study. There was a significant correlation between blood attenuation in all measured segments and Hb level. subjective analysis revealed that the aortic ring sign was more sensitive than the interventricular septum sign in detecting anemia, whereas the latter character was more specific
The results suggest that it is possible to detect anemia from an unenhanced chest CT scan. Both objective and subjective criteria show promising sensitivity and specificity.

Patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) are poor candidates for anticoagulant medication if they also have a high risk of bleeding due to frequent falls, gastrointestinal conditions, or prior stroke. For these patients who have a high CHA2DS2-VASc score—an instrument used to assess the risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation—the Watchman left atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion device can be considered an appropriate alternative to anticoagulants.1, 2
An 83-year-old man with a history of NVAF was referred to M Health Atrial Fibrillation Center specialists at University of Minnesota Health Clinics and Surgery Center. He had undergone successful prior ablation for atrial tachycardia and was on anticoagulant medication for atrial fibrillation not related to valve disease. The patient, however, had begun to experience frequent falls with activity due to frailty with age. His physicians at the clinic were concerned that this risk, combined with his use of the anticoagulant warfarin to manage chronic NVAF, put him at high risk of cerebrovascular hemorrhage or bleeding from a fall.
The patient’s history of heart problems combined with hypertension put his CHA2DS2-VASc score at 4, putting him at moderately high risk for cardioembolic stroke. He was considered a candidate for LAA occlusion with the Watchman device. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) indicated that the patient’s LAA anatomy was suitable for placement of the device, and the patient agreed to the procedure. At the clinic, an interventional cardiologist and a cardiac electrophysiologist, skilled respectively in complex catheterization techniques and analysis of cardiac rhythm, deployed a 21 millimeter Watchman device without complication. TEE showed that the device had optimal position and anchoring within the LAA and was appropriately compressed to ensure that the appendage had been completely sealed.
The patient was continued on warfarin and aspirin for 45 days to prevent clots as scar tissue formed over the LAA. An additional TEE confirmed that the device remained anchored in place with new scar tissue. He was allowed to stop taking warfarin but continues to take aspirin together with clopidogrel, another antiplatelet agent. At 6 months postprocedure, he can expect to discontinue clopidogrel and continue with aspirin.
A history of frequent falls or significant bleeding while on anticoagulants should prompt an evaluation of continued use of warfarin for NVAF. LAA occlusion with the Watchman device can be considered as an alternative to warfarin for NVAF patients with a high stroke risk who also carry a high risk of bleeding from other conditions of advanced age.3
Left atrial appendage occlusion provides an alternate approach to addressing stroke risk in patients with atrial fibrillation. The appendage is the origin of most atrial clots in those with nonvalvular A-fib.Continue reading

The latest mid-term election prediction from the chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, Rep. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland: Democrats are going to have some tough contests in 2010, that doesn’t mean Republicans are going to take over the House.
Jennifer Bendery of *Roll Call* reports that Van Hollen told Thursday’s Bloomberg Washington Summit: “People who think this is a redux of 1994 are totally misreading the current situation.”
That, of course, is the year that Democrats lost their majority in the House for the first time in four decades.
Given that recent polling shows that just 20 percent of Americans identify themselves as Republicans, a drop of 8 percentage points from the 2008 elections, according to Van Hollen. “To suggest that the Republicans are going to run to the rescue of the American people who think they’re the answer, at least as we sit here a year out, is very wrong,” he said.

This post is part 7 of our 12-part “Protect Medi-Cal Funding” series. Medi-Cal provides a long-term investment that helps Californians succeed. This blog series highlights the importance of Medi-Cal for women with HIV in California.
California’s Medicaid program, Medi-Cal, covers more than 45,000 Californians living with HIV. Medi-Cal covers a range of services to treat and support people with HIV, ensuring that those infected with the disease get the care they need. Women living with HIV are disproportionately women of color, and their communities benefit significantly from the coverage, treatment, and care Medi-Cal provides. The Better Care Reconciliation Act (BCRA) under consideration by the Senate cuts federal Medicaid spending by $772 billion over ten years and caps Medicaid funds to states. These cuts are just as bad as those made by the American Health Care Act (AHCA), passed by House Republicans in May.
In addition, the recently released White House budget proposes to further cut federal Medicaid spending by an estimated $1.3 trillion over the next decade. These Medicaid funding cuts will shift costs to the state, including California, which anticipates a $30 Billion cut over the next 10 years under the BCRA.
Faced with these cuts, the state may seek to:
- Cut services in Medi-Cal, such as prescription drugs or adult dental services, that women with HIV need to stay health;
- Enact higher out-of-pocket cost-sharing or other utilization controls to restrict or delay access to Medi-Cal services needed by women with HIV;
- Eliminate Medi-Cal coverage for adults eligible for the Medicaid expansion, including women with HIV.
Cutting services or placing barriers on access to care will harm low-income California women with HIV by forcing them to forgo or delay care at risk to their own health. In addition, if Medi-Cal coverage is unavailable or access to care is more difficult, women may forgo HIV screening in the first place, and remain unaware that they are infected with the disease. Women who have HIV but don’t know it may spread the disease to their partners, and are unlikely to receive necessary treatment. This could create a public health crisis in California.
Check out our Protect Medi-Cal Series, Issue #7, for a “deeper dive” on the importance of Medi-Cal to women with HIV, and how this population is threatened by Medicaid funding cuts.

WWE has released their earnings results for the fourth quarter of 2019, as well as an outlook on their 2020 business expectations.
They highlight a quarterly revenue of $322.8 million, which is the most quarterly revenue in the history of the company. As you can see in the picture below, this revenue was primarily driven by increases in their Media segment, which is tied to their televisions rights fees from their new deals with Fox and USA networks that kicked off in fall 2019.
These numbers also show a sharp decline in live event revenue, which is consistent with rumors that WWE is making drastic changes to its struggling house show business.
WWE notes that this revenue growth was partially offset by a decline in WWE Network revenue. The average paid subscriptions to their streaming service decreased 10% to 1.42 million. They also note that revenue growth was partially offset by the absence of Mixed Match Challenge on Facebook Watch, which is reflected in the “Other” category in the graphic below.
As far as live event business is concerned, WWE cites the lack of Super Show-Down (the late 2018 iteration from Australia) as a key difference in the numbers between the fourth quarters of 2018 to 2019. Overall, WWE only ran 70 total live events in the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to 87 live events in the previous year’s fourth quarter. WWE goes on to highlight their partnership with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as a significant success in their Live Event segment.
As far as the full year 2019 performance goes with Live Events, WWE states that revenues declined 13% from the prior year. This is primarily attributed to “lower ticket sales, driven by the staging of 56 fewer events worldwide and lower average attendance, as well as the absence of Super Show-Down, a large-scale event in Australia.”
When discussing decreased performance in the Consumer Products business segment, WWE says that it’s primarily a result of “lower video game royalties, which were driven by the Company’s franchise console game WWE 2K20.” That sounds appropriate, considering the reception that game has received.
One of the most interesting lines in the release comes when discussing their business outlook for 2020:
The Company is pursuing several strategic initiatives that could increase the monetization of its content in 2020 and/ or subsequent years. These include distribution of content in the Middle East and India as well as the evaluation of strategic alternatives for the Company’s direct-to-consumer service, WWE Network. At this time, the outcome of these initiatives is subject to considerable uncertainty.
The evaluation of strategic alternatives to WWE Network? What in the world could that mean?
Overall WWE’s revenues are higher than ever due to their televisions rights, but they acknowledge performing on the lower end of their expected range due to decreases in their other business segments.
Which numbers stand out to you the most from WWE’s financial results, Cagesiders?

Transports Slump On Profit News
The major averages have been caught in a holding pattern, reflecting valuation concerns and worries regarding Britain's vote on whether to leave the European Union. For now, as a partial hedge, we're holding 16.5% to 17.2% of our equity portfolios in a short-term bond fund. A rally that lifts the Dow Industrials above 18,096.27 and the Dow Transports above 8,109.19 would be bullish — and a reason to boost our equity exposure.
Freight volumes remain sluggish
For the S&P 500 Index, the June quarter is expected to be the fifth consecutive period with lower year-to-year earnings and the sixth consecutive period of lower revenue. Yet the index trades at more than 16 times expected year-ahead earnings, above the 10-year norm near 14, according to FactSet.
One mitigating factor: Much of the market's overvaluation is concentrated in the safest stocks, like consumer staples and utilities. As shown on this page last week, the 40% of S&P 1500 stocks with the least-volatile share prices trade at substantially higher price/earnings ratios than their norms since 1994. By comparison, the other 60% of stocks trade roughly in line with their historical norms, on average.
With an improved outlook for corporate earnings growth, investors would have incentive to look beyond the slow-growth, bond-like stocks that have led the market this year. That is one reason to keep a close eye on the market's reaction to June-quarter earnings season, which begins in the second week of July.
For the same reason, we keep a close eye on the Dow Transports, which are highly sensitive to the economic outlook. So far, early reads on the June quarter for the transportation sector have not been encouraging.
• On June 20 and June 21, truckers Covenant Transportation ($18; CVTI) and Werner Enterprises ($22; WERN) warned that June-quarter earnings would fall short of consensus estimates because of sluggish freight volumes and higher costs.
• Canadian Pacific ($127; CP), Canada's second-largest railroad, warned on June 21 that June-quarter earnings would be well below expectations, reflecting declining shipment volumes.
• On June 21, FedEx ($157; FDX) delivered better-than-consensus earnings on June 21. But the stock slumped 4.5% on the report, reflecting disappointing guidance for the year ahead.
The Dow Transports, historically a good barometer for the more cyclical parts of the economy, merit close attention. For new buying, we're finding opportunities among somewhat cyclical shares with solid profit outlooks, including Mohawk Industries ($195; MHK) and D.R. Horton ($31; DHI).

Revellers at Stonehenge celebrate Summer Solstice
2010 06 21
About 20,000 revellers were at Stonehenge to mark the Summer Solstice, each hoping to see the sun as it rose above the ancient stone circle at dawn.
Police described the event on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire as one of the safest in years, although 34 people were arrested for minor drug offences.
Sunrise, marking the longest day of the year north of the equator, occurred over the circle at 0452 BST.
The Heel Stone, just outside the main circle, aligns with the rising sun.
Peter Carson from English Heritage said: "It has been quieter this year but it’s been a great solstice.
"It’s an improvement on the last few years - the last time I remember seeing the sun rise was in 2003 - so it’s great to see the sun has put in an appearance.
"This year there are about 20,000 people and last year it was about 35,000 - so that is quite a bit down which has meant the operation is a lot easier. "
He said two years ago the solstice happened early on a Saturday and about 30,000 people attended.
He added: "I think the days of the week do make a considerable difference to the number of people who come along - this year it’s a Monday morning.
"The people who are streaming out now - a lot of them are going to work."
Victoria Campbell, 29, was among those marking the solstice.
She said: "It means a lot to us...being British and following our pagan roots."
The Londoner, who works in the finance industry, added "getting away from the city" was a major draw.
On Sunday police chiefs said they had planned for "all eventualities" ahead of the event.
Last year a record 36,500 revellers attended, causing traffic chaos and road closures.

Wine Beats Yogurt in Health Stakes
Yet more good news for wine lovers, after scientists announced that healthy probiotics bacteria have been discovered in wine and may be beneficial for people's health.
The bad news is that the process of adding sulfites (or sulfur dioxide) to wine, kills them off, meaning either winemakers have to isolate the probiotics before adding sulfur or drinkers have to stick to natural wines with no added sulfites.
Researchers in Spain isolated 11 strains of bacteria from wine, including Lactobacillus, which is also found in yogurt, as well as Oenococcus and Pediococcus bacteria, which are associated with the winemaking process, according to the LiveScience website.
"Up to now, many studies have reported that the best [foods] to deliver probiotics are fermented dairy products, so that the probiotic properties of wine-related [Lactobacillus] were hardly studied," said Dolores González de Llano of Universidad Autónoma de Madrid in Spain.
"Nowadays, there is a need for novel and non-dairy probiotics, from the increasing number of lactose-intolerance cases occurring in the world population, coupled with the unfavorable effect of cholesterol contained in fermented dairy products."
In the study, the researchers examined the ability of the bacteria they isolated from wine to survive in conditions similar to those found in the human gastrointestinal system.
The researchers looked to see whether the bacteria in wine could survive when exposed to simulated gastric juice, bile and lysozyme, an enzyme that is highly concentrated in human saliva that can damage bacterial cell walls.
They found that the bacteria could survive in such conditions, and their survival was comparable to or even better than the survival of several strains of bacteria known to be beneficial to human health. In particular, one strain of bacteria found in wine, called P. pentosaceus CIAL-86, had an "excellent" ability to stick to the intestinal wall and "good" activity against E. coli, the researchers said.
Probiotics are live organisms that are believed to be beneficial primarily for maintaining a healthy community of gut bacteria and bowel function, and may also have anti-cancer and cholesterol-lowering properties.
Sadly, the report did not mention whether red or white wines produced the best probiotics, but red wine has been largely accepted as offering health benefits when drunk in moderation as part of a healthy lifestyle.
However, it might be a while before it becomes socially acceptable to pour Cabernet on your cereal. Downing a couple of glasses of wine is unlikely to give the same probiotic effect as a bowl of yogurt, as healthy, moderate servings of alcohol do not contain enough of the probiotics to make a difference. Instead, the study said they could be harvested from the wine and distributed separately.
The findings of the new study will be published in the December issue of the journal Food Microbiology.

Duke of York
Contrary to inaccurate reports, the Duke of York has not met Saif Gaddafi since November 2007 and he is not a friend
Sir, In 1999 the Duke of York was invited to take on a role to encourage inward investment into the UK and to support the effort of the Government to increase international trade (leading article, Mar 2). He has undertaken more than 100 overseas visits in support of British business and has fulfilled many thousands of engagements. It is a role that he continues to be privileged to undertake on behalf of the UK.
The Duke was asked by the Government to visit Libya in his capacity as UK Special Representative for International Trade and Investment. At the Government’s specific request he met Saif Gaddafi twice in 2007. Both events were recorded in the Court Circular. The discussions centred on the Government’s business

WEDNESDAY, December 14 sees Thomas Del Mar Ltd’s inaugural sale of arms and armour at Sotheby’s Olympia.
Mr Del Mar ran the department for Sotheby’s at Olympia and oversaw the arms and armour element of the recent gargantuan Hanover sale. He has now struck a similar deal with Sotheby’s as coins and medal specialists Morton & Eden, costume and textiles specialist Kerry Taylor and sporting memorabilia specialist Graham Budd. These arrangements effectively allow Sotheby’s to buy in the expertise for their sales programme as and when they require it, while allowing the specialists to develop their own businesses and client services.
In Mr Del Mar’s case, he will still be based at Olympia – a policy that makes sense for storage and security purposes – holding two sales a year, one in June, the other in December.
Taking colleagues Ian Eaves and Franciska Ekman with him, he will produce larger catalogues than the traditional Sotheby’s Olympia publications, which will allow for larger images of lots, and he will also drop the Olympia policy of a £1000 minimum lot value so that he can bring in interesting but low-value items to complement collections.
“Our independent structure will make us more flexible for clients which will be key in building business further,” he told ATG.
The sale starts at 2pm. Contact 020 7602 4805 for further details.

From 2007 through mid-2009, the federal minimum wage was increased by over 40%. Combined with other minimum wage hikes at the state and local level and low inflation in the U.S. in the years since, there has effectively been no recovery for teen jobs in the United States:
What increasing the minimum wage by so much did was to make the hiring of these least educated, least skilled and least experienced portion of the U.S. civilian labor force undesirable for U.S. employers, especially those who can only justify the hiring of teens if they can reasonably expect to cover their costs of employing them.
In essence, the minimum wage hikes from 2007 onward are directly responsible for creating structural unemployment in the United States, which is what we directly observe in our chart above. They would appear to have permanently displaced roughly 1.4-1.5 million Americans from the U.S. job market.
Faced with these kinds of artificially inflated costs for doing business, employers who might previously have been able to cover the cost of employing teens, including their costs for training them to do the entry level jobs they were willing to make available to them, were put in the position of telling ambitious teens seeking to gain employment experience and money to pay for things like a portion of their college education that they would not consider hiring them.
In fact, in states that have recently acted to boost their own minimum wages well above the current federal minimum wage level in the next several years, employers are already telling teens in those states to not bother applying for jobs:
Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick set the highest minimum wage in the country Thursday when he signed a bill that would lift the state’s pay floor to $11 an hour by 2017.

Toward the end of a seven-hour meeting Monday, Billings trustees voted 4-3 to support $135 million in future K-8 school construction and expansion.
Earlier, they voted 4-3 to put a $1.2 million K-8 technology levy on the ballot.
However, the seven trustees were unanimous in voting to place a $1 million operating levy request on the May 7 ballot. If voters approve that request, the money would be used to hire elementary teachers to reduce the number of overcrowded classrooms, which now stands at 99.
Passing any levy at any time will require a lot of work to inform voters and it will require strong board support. Ideally, the board would be united on major ballot issues.
Clearly, neither the technology levy nor the school master plan choice is ready for a ballot.
While the board Monday gave final approval to putting the teacher funding levy on the May 7 ballot, it voted only on “intent” to place the tech levy on the ballot. That levy still needs one more board vote to go on the ballot.
That further consideration is scheduled for a special meeting at 5:30 p.m. on March 13 in the Lincoln Center boardroom. Also on the agenda, at the request of Trustee Travis Kemp, who was joined by Trustee Connie Wardell, is reconsideration of the master plan vote.
Both of these issues require further board discussion.
Four trustees, including Kemp and Wardell, voted Monday to support building two 6-8 middle schools, expanding Broadwater and McKinley elementary schools and building a new K-5 elementary all as part of the first and largest phase of a new master facilities plan.
Superintendent Terry Bouck had recommended delaying construction of a new elementary school into a second phase of the master plan.
Bouck also advised trustees to put only the operating levy for teachers on the May ballot, not the tech levy.
First things first
We certainly agree that classroom technology would benefit Billings students. However, first things first. This district’s biggest, most pressing problem is inadequate funds to staff elementary classrooms. Most of the 99 oversize classes are in K-2 where no more than 20 students are supposed to be in a class. Some Billings primary classrooms have 28 students. Some of those schools don’t have another classroom to use even if the district had the money for another teacher.
A levy request for new facilities and improvements to existing schools won’t be on the May ballot. Whenever that request is taken to voters, it will require solid support and the school district will have to demonstrate that it has ongoing resources to properly staff new and existing schools.
In this case, the most urgent need -- money for elementary teachers -- is also a long-term priority that would enable the district to move forward with facility improvements to enhance the educational opportunities for all our students.
When trustees take another look at a tech levy and the recommended sequence for new facilities, they should be clear that saying “not now” doesn’t mean “never.”
A $1 million boost in the elementary budget would go a long way toward reducing the number of oversize classes. It would cost the owner of a $200,000 house about $17 a year in additional taxes.
If trustees and other education advocates work very hard, they can communicate the benefits of that proposition to voters who will start casting ballots in mid-April. All registered Billings voters will receive ballots in the mail.
We urge trustees to focus on reducing oversize classrooms as the highest priority for the May election, to work to earn community support for that important step and then build on positive momentum into the future.

A fork in snowy logging roads.
When I turn right, the route devolves
from second-growth scrub oak and pine
into marsh that’s mucky-warm
even in midwinter. Years ago,
trying to blaze a route to Colebrook,
I drove down rutted woods roads
until my truck stalled. Then I climbed
a hill and looked over my shoulder
at the landscape I’d left behind.
A huge sprawl of lake shivered
deep and glossy gray, motionless,
drowning all the scenery
I’d imagined I’d driven through.
Walking ten miles back to Colebrook,
I met someone who claimed he’d escaped
from a carnival freak show the week
before, having slain his keepers.
He gave me the folding knife he’d used
to hack the thugs to blubber. No trace
of blood remained. What sort
of freak was he? A common man:
husky but hardly fat, plain
but pleasant face, he embodied
nothing of the transmundane,
so I dismissed his tale. In Colebrook,
however, a newspaper reported
someone had knifed two employees
of a traveling carnival
and then vanished with the cash box.
Now I turn away from the marsh
and mount the slope and refuse
to look back. I learned that much,
anyway, the forest cringing
in a creaky metallic breeze
and the cries of the murdered men
still adhering to the knife I keep
in my pocket to remind me
how possible all crimes are.

Jalyn (dutasteride and tamsulosin hydrochloride)Jalyn (dutasteride and tamsulosin hydrochloride) is a prescription medicine used to treat the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men with an enlarged prostate. The 2 medications in Jalyn work in different ways to improve symptoms of BPH. Dutasteride shrinks the enlarged prostate and tamsulosin relaxes muscles in the prostate and neck of the bladder. These 2 medications, when used together, can improve symptoms of BPH better than either medication when used alone. Jalyn may cause serious side effects including decreased blood pressure, rare and serious allergic reactions, a higher chance of a more serious form of prostate cancer, eye problems, and a painful erection that will not go away.

The Atlantean Pyramid creates the illusion of realities in time on the Earth plane.
The soul who oversees this pyramid goes by the frequency, Arlis-Cochizel.
In the temple of the crystals the goddess sits,
she whose consciousness creates all and everything from within.
Through this crystal matrix a race of evolved humans was born.
And when it was time for those souls to once again submerge in the
sea of creation to evolve into a new experience the crystals would
echo the harmonics and the souls would remember and align for transition.
The Atlantean Pyramid has great mythology about an ancient time when man used
his gift of intuition and worked with spirit. It tells of priests and priestesses who used
massive crystals and walked with giants and strange creatures on the surface of the planet.
This pyramid tells of I, Thoth, known as Thoth the Atlantean, or Tehuti, who ruled the
land of Atlantis for thousands of years known there by many names and descriptions.
It is written that before the great civilization of Atlantis fell,
I went with my consort and our high priests and priestesses
in great spaceships, to create a new home and a new civilization.
That this place would be the land of Khem, known to you as Egypt.
That I, and others from Atlantis, would record and store information
in great libraries, in a place to be known as the Halls of Amenti,
'Amenti' meaning 'Mankind'.
Listen now for the echoes of their tones within your mind.
And many would search for these records in their quest to
remember why they have come here and who they are.
And they would feel that they have greater purpose in this
timeline and seek to find out what that purpose might be.
The Atlantean Pyramid would create tales of the fall of this great civilization
as warning to those who would walk the earth at the time of this reading.
And humanity would worry about the destruction of its earth home.
Fear not, as the souls need only remember their way home, into the light.
For there is no beginning,
nor is there an end.
And I, Thoth the Atlantean, shall now take you to the
Pyramid of Atlantis so you may experience all that you are.
And you will understand what happened in the game of
Light vs. Darkness. And you will remember what you must do.

(Staten Island, NY – November 21, 2022) Commissioner Thomas Foley of the NYC Department of Design and Construction (DDC) announced today that a temporary art installation by DDC Public Artist in Residence (PAIR) Melanie Crean now graces the front of the Staten Island Courthouse, covering most of a construction fence in front of the building and also occupying the spaces between the six large stone columns that are part of the building’s façade.
Five banners measuring 20-feet high by 6-feet wide are hung between the courthouse’s pillars. An additional 50-foot long by 7.5-feet high supergraphic print is placed on the construction fence. The installation will be on display until December 10th.
“DDC is proud to participate in the City’s public arts programs while doing critical public work. We are able to use construction sites to engage New Yorkers even while our projects continue,” said NYC Department of Design and Construction Commissioner Thomas Foley. “We thank Melanie Crean, our community partners, and our colleagues in government for advancing the valuable ‘Public Artist in Residence’ program.”
“As Public Artist in Residence with DDC, Melanie Crean has done eye-opening work with local youth to explore and render their experiences into the remarkable ‘Reify’ public artwork,” said NYC Department of Cultural Affairs Commissioner Laurie Cumbo. “Projects like this one demonstrate public art's power to manifest unique experiences and point of view, and to transform the everyday into something remarkable. We’re proud to work with Melanie and DDC to bring this amazing installation to life.”
“Public spaces have been the center of meaningful discourse for centuries, and we proudly support the use of the courthouse for this gripping expression of art by Melanie Crean,” said NYC Department of Citywide Administrative Services Commissioner Dawn M. Pinnock. “We are fortunate to work with our sister agencies DDC and DCLA, and applaud the Public Artist in Residence Program which has transformed the ongoing construction site into a canvas worthy of admiration and discussion.”
“I really respect the work done with the project participants, who took on the difficult challenge of voicing personal opinions and experiences related to justice, and then strategizing how to translate these into photography that would be seen in such a large public forum,” said DDC Public Artist in Residence Melanie Crean. “I'm grateful that they remain involved in the project and look forward to continued discussions with them about the relation of creativity and the future of justice in Staten Island.”
“I especially enjoyed sharing experiences and hearing the perspective of people from different backgrounds about the justice system, and then seeing those ideas be represented as images through tableaus,” said Project Participant Manya Sabu.
Ms. Crean was named DDC’s Public Artist in Residence (PAIR) in late 2021 as part of the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs’ (DCLA) PAIR program, which embeds artists within New York City agencies in order to propose creative solutions to civic challenges. At DDC, Crean’s residency was committed to transforming a DDC construction site into a platform for exploring, imagining, creating and enacting connections between affected communities and the public works that impact a neighborhood. For this installation, named “Reify,” the artist conducted a series of workshops with local young people where they described their relationships to the justice system. The images featured on the fencing and hanging banners in “Reify” echo people forging connections with each other across multiple divides.
The 1913 courthouse at 18 Richmond Terrace is currently undergoing a $5.2 million capital project to restore the historic front stairs, handrails and other items on the façade. The project began in April and will be completed in fall 2023, is being managed by DDC for the NYC Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS).
The project includes the replacement of the building’s existing limestone steps and landings with more durable granite stairs with bluestone landing pavers. The concrete adjacent to the steps will be replaced and the existing structural support beneath the stairs will be rebuilt with new reinforced concrete columns and beams. New ornamental bronze handrails intended to look like the building’s original handrails as seen in historic drawings will be installed. The project will also replace the coping stone and iron picket fence above a retaining wall located along Schuyler Street. A new sidewalk and curbs will complete the project along Richmond Terrace.
“Reify” is part of City Canvas, a DCLA initiative supported by DDC and the non-profit organization ArtBridge. Special thanks to the Staten Island Justice Center, the Staten Island Urban Center and the Mayor’s Office of Criminal Justice for their assistance. The project is made possible in part by funding from the Ford Foundation.
A viewing and community discussion with Ms. Crean are being planned near the art installation for the afternoon of December 3, 2022. For more information and to RSVP, e-mail email@example.com.

The first step is to meet with an attorney for an initial consultation. Most attorneys charge for this service. Don't underestimate the importance of hiring somebody you are comfortable with. Legal representation is a personal service. It is important that you are confident in the attorney advocating for you. Bring all of the documents you believe will be important in determining the issues of your divorce. These may include a current mortgage statement, credit card bills, current auto loan statements, and other documents. If you have already been served with a Complaint for Dissolution of Marriage, bring that as well.
Commencing the Case: After you retain an attorney, he or she will file a Complaint for Dissolution of Marriage on your behalf. If you have already been served with a complaint filed by your spouse's attorney, your attorney will file with the court a written Answer to the Complaint. If you have been served, it is important that you retain legal counsel as soon as possible. You have thirty days from the date you are served to file an Answer to the Complaint.
Temporary Motions & Orders: Your attorney and/or opposing counsel may file a Motion for Temporary Relief. If either side does so, you will have a hearing. These temporary hearings are usually done by affidavits in the Judge's chambers. Only the attorneys and the Judge are present.
Some typical requests for temporary relief include a determination by the Judge as to who will reside in the marital home until the final Decree is entered, a determination of temporary spousal or child support, temporary child custody and parenting time, and temporary restraining orders. The hearing for temporary relief will result in a Temporary Order by the Judge regarding the issues raised at the hearing.
Preparing for Trial: The trial preparation phase is also called the "discovery" phase of litigation. Your attorney may serve the other side with Interrogatories and/or Requests for Production of Documents. These are tools for obtaining sworn statements and documentary evidence for use at trial, or to aid your attorney in reaching a fair settlement on your behalf.
Your attorney may also issue subpoenas for third parties to obtain documents or testimony.
Depositions are also commonly used. During a deposition, your attorney will ask questions of witnesses for the opposing side. The witness oral statements are taken under oath by a court reporter. Opposing counsel will be present. Clients usually attend depositions
Settlement: During this process, your attorney should work to reach a settlement on your behalf, on the terms you approve. Occasionally attorneys will hold a settlement conference where the parties and their lawyers try to reach an agreement. Mediation may also be helpful.
Trial: If settlement isn’t possible, a trial will be had. Both sides will present evidence, including documents and testimony, supporting their position. In a divorce trial, the Judge is the decision maker. Juries are not used in domestic relations cases.
The trial will result in a Divorce Decree. The Decree can be appealed from for thirty days after it is issued. You cannot marry anywhere in the world for six months from the date your Divorce Decree is issued.

Alternative sweetener is an important food additive that provides sweet taste to food similar to that of a sugar while containing very low number of calories. Both natural and synthetic types of alternative sweetener are available for sale in the market. The market of alternative sweetener across the globe is anticipated to experience a steady growth during the forecast period. Rising demand for low calorie content food products by the health conscious consumers across the globe is the primary factor analyzed to boost the demand for alternative sweetener in the coming years. Due to rising health consciousness among the consumers, various manufacturers aim to introduce different types of sugar substitutes into the market. In addition, fluctuating prices of sugar is expected to boost the demand for alternative sweetener across various application segments in the coming years. Moreover, the health concern relating to the problem of cancer on using low calories sweetener is also curtailed by a recent study. Alternative sweeteners are used to reduce carbohydrates and to manage the calorie count of an individual. Thus, improving the overall health of the consumer. On the other hand, rising rate of obesity, increasing number of diabetic population and other high calorie related health problems are also predicted to fuel the demand for alternative sweetener in the coming years.
The alternative sweetener market has been segmented on the basis of product type, application and geography. On the basis of product type the alternative sweetener market is classified into high intensity sweetener (HIS), low intensity sweetener (LIS) and high fructose syrup (HFS). The high intensity sweetener is further categorized into, aspartame, sucralose and saccharine among others. Ace-k, neotame, stevia, thaumatine, alitame, agave nector, cyclamate and polyols is included in the others segment. Alternative sweetener also finds its applications across food industry and beverages. The others segment under applications include pharmaceuticals industry and personal care products. For understanding the market trend of alternative sweetener across various regions, the regional segments analyzed include North America, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Middle-East and Africa (MEA) and Latin America. Across various applications, the beverage sector held the largest market share in the alternative sweetener market. Rapid growth in the beverage industry across various regions is one of the primary factors fueling the demand for alternative sweeteners in the coming years. Low intensity polyols and sweetener are generally replacing the high intensity sweeteners and very high fructose syrup in the different beverage applications.
Geographically, North America majorly drives the alternative sweetener market and is expected to hold its dominance in the near future due to the rising demand of alternative sweetener from leading markets such as Mexico and U.S. However, Asia-Pacific is predicted to experience a promising growth during the forecast period owing to the increasing number of health conscious consumers. Moreover, the strong presence of food and beverage industry in this region coupled with rising demand for low calories food products is also responsible behind this region’s growth. On the other hand, due to high market penetration of alternative sweetener in Europe, the market is anticipated to experience a sluggish growth rate during the forecast period.
However, the harmful effects arise from over consumption of low calorie sugar substitutes. Also, safety regulations imposed by the governments of different countries on food products is majorly anticipated to restrict the growth of alternative sweetener market in the coming years. Some of the major players operating in the alternative sweetener market are Tate & Lyle Plc, Ajinomoto Co. Inc., Cargill Incorporated, Archer-Daniels-Midland Company, E. I. du Pont de Nemours and NutraSweet Company among others.

Manager Looking For Positive Start To The Season
The new football season is now just a day away and Paul Ince admits he is as excited as anyone to get the campaign underway after three months without league football.
He takes his Blackpool side to newly promoted Doncaster Rovers and is expecting a typically tough test against a side who are still on a high after last season's success.
"I think everyone is looking forward to the start of the season," said Ince.
"When you come into pre-season and you're getting yourself fit, you just can't wait to get the games started.
"We've had four or five games building up to Doncaster and I think the lads are chomping at the bit."
Former Pool forward Paul Dickov took over the reins at the Keepmoat Stadium in May after a few months out of work and Ince knows only too well the determination and drive that a manager has after time out of the game.
"Doncaster have just come up and have got a new manager so they will be wanting to impress. There will be a good atmosphere there.
"Dickov plays the right style of football as do ourselves, so I think it will be a good game and it's important to get off to a good start.
"We all know what The Championship is like - it's 46 cup finals. Every game is demanding and you want to be able to rest players and you can't do that with 13 players, but myself and the chairman are working hard on bringing some more players in," added Ince.

I got the game on Origin yesterday. I have a weird issue where out of a sudden the game won't accept any input/interaction anymore. It can happen anytime during the game, e.g. in the hangar or at the start of a mission.
If I kill the game and restart it works again for an hour or so.
My drivers are all up to date. I have disabled Origin Overlay already. I use mouse and keyboard, no joystick or anything else connected.
Anyone else came accross this and knows how to fix it? Here's a video of the behaviour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKkNxN6GEhQ&feature=youtu.be
It happens to me every time between missions. I don't know what's causing it and have to restart the game as none of the other buttons or keyboard input works.
