The South African poultry industry is on the road to recovery from recent Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza outbreaks that have plagued producers since January, says Izaak Breitenbach, GM, SAPA Broiler Organisation.
With strong biosecurity protocols and monitoring programmes in place, evidence suggests that the infection rate has peaked, and after very serious initial concerns, the recovery process is currently underway.
To date, 8.5-million chickens have been culled to curb outbreaks of the H7 and H5 bird flu strains; this includes slightly over 2.5-million broiler breeder chickens, and approximately 6-million of SA’s layer flock.
This is a significant portion of the national flock – many poultry farmers have been badly affected by the outbreak and are not compensated for these losses in line with the Animal Disease Act. The industry’s quick action has softened the worst of the outbreak, getting several mitigating solutions in place to ease the impact on farmers and consumers:
- The industry has extended the age of non-affected flocks by an additional 2-3 weeks, which will result in additional egg hatching production.
- The industry has started including the hatching of 2nd grade eggs.
- Producers are importing 83-million broiler hatching eggs to replenish flock – the first batch arrived earlier in October.
- Strategic reserves of frozen poultry stocks carried over from the recent winter (when there was a lower demand for chicken) will afford the industry an opportunity to alleviate any chicken shortages over the festive season. After the December peak, demand drops off and the poultry industry expects a balance between supply and demand from then on.
- Forecasted import volumes for the next three months look stable and increasing, which will also supplement local supply and help to address any possible shortage.
These interventions are designed to circumvent any short -term supply shortages. Following its swift action, the industry expects that any shortages this festive season will be minimal. Speculation about huge shortages of chicken this year and into 2024 is therefore not based on the facts and does not take any of these recent developments into account.
While it seems the domestic poultry industry has no shortage of opportunities to demonstrate its resilience, the outbreak has put many livelihoods at risk. Farmers are having a difficult time recovering costs, especially during a period of recovery. A change in policy is needed to support impacted producers, and such a cost recovery mechanism will serve well to keep consumer prices low and our farmers afloat.
Deputy President Paul Mashatile recently said that government is “looking into ways of compensating poultry farmers affected by the recent outbreak of bird flu”. While addressing questions from the National Council of Provinces, Mashatile stated that, “This scheme is about R3.5 billion. So, those farmers affected by influenza will get support from this scheme. But of course, details still being discussed by Treasury to ensure exactly what that support will constitute. Among others, it’s recommended that all affected farmers, especially small-scale farmers, will be compensated.” The Democratic Alliance has also lauded Deputy President Mashatile’s proposal; the implementation of such a scheme would serve as a great relief to both farmers and consumers. Minister of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development, Thoko Didiza, is expected to make the announcement in the coming weeks if the compensation fund is active or accessible.
Creating an emergency fund for farmers to recover costs and repopulate their flocks is much more beneficial to local consumers, producers, and the South African economy, than returning the taxes paid on a small portion of imports that will only arrive in the New Year. The suggested rebate is based on a supposed shortage of chicken which may not happen, and there is little expectation that any rebate on imports would reduce the consumer price of poultry.
The local industry is not opposed to imports (it welcomes fair competition!), unfortunately, a blanket rebate on import duties favours foreign producers and provides importers with a generous cost advantage over local producers; it won’t do much for consumers at all. It is not necessary to sacrifice taxes to encourage dumping. If enacted, the proposed rebate will undo the trade protection previously deemed necessary to support local poultry producers, in line with the Master Plan. South African poultry farmers simply can’t compete with highly pathogenic avian influenza outbreaks, the scourge of load shedding (with outages wreaking havoc on the birds, the farming houses and equipment), the critical lack of service delivery and access to fresh water, collapsing infrastructure, and now ceding market share to dumped or subsidised imports. It is evident from some of the larger integrated producer’s financial results that they are experiencing losses in the millions in order to keep South African chicken the cheapest chicken consumer rands can buy. However, you won’t hear about the losses of our small-scale farmers – a rebate may sound the death knell to their operations.

Sorry, I can’t help how life imitates art. I can’t help how the 2017 US president elect, to my mind at least, resembles some of the more odious elements portrayed in literature. I frequently use these elements in my writing and am loathed to harm their reputations by risking too long an association with a real life puer aeternus, a real life alazon, a real life Lord of Misrule.
Readers have asked me how intentional were the literary archetypes discoverable by the perceptive reader in my novel HOUSE OF LARGE SIZES. I answer that there may be some driven by my subconscious–god knows, I believe that is a massive part of the creative process–but for the most part I think the archetypes I tried to employ were deliberate.
I was pleased to see a review wherein the archetype of the puer aeternus (eternal boy) was noticed and briefly discussed. It’s pleasing to have the authorial usage of my academic heroes, Northrup Frye, Henry James and E.M. Forster discovered by close readers. Frye’s seminal work on structuralism, An Anatomy of Criticism, has been a teaching and writing guide during my entire career in the literary business, as has Forster’s Aspects of the Novel; so, as I developed House of Large Sizes it was natural for me to rely on what I had learned. I wanted to loosely base the book on the first known epic, Gilgamesh, whose main character of course is a classic puer; hence, the character Gilbert Pym.
A stickier issue is, which character in the my novel is ‘The Lord of Misrule’? And of course which characters are alazons and which are eirons? As the characters emerged they tended to choose their own roles, but some had to be nudged into shape like recalcitrant teenagers. I wanted a Lord of Misrule but didn’t want it to be too obvious. Overplaying these archetypes leads to lame characters and cliches, so it’s important to understand them well, whilst at the same time breathing their values obliquely into a novel’s homo ficti (fictional people).
Writers may find some brief definitions helpful, both for developing the character constellation of their novels, and for identifying real-life power-mongers, who, like fictional characters, need to be laughed off the stage before they cause too much damage.
Alazon: A deceiving or self-deceived character in fiction, normally an object of ridicule in comedy or satire, but often the hero of a tragedy. In comedy he most frequently takes the form of a miles glorious or a pedant.
Eiron: A self-deprecating or unobtrusively treated character in fiction, usually an agent of the happy ending in comedy and of the catastrophe in tragedy. He is cleverer than he seems and acts as the skewerer of the alazon; he’s designed to take air out of windbags.
Puer Aeternus: An eternal boy, a grown male prone to unwise or childish pursuits. An adult lost in childhood. In fiction a Peter Pan character. In real life, politicians, executives and churchmen who, despite being promoted to positions of power, are guided by the boy in their psyches rather than the man.
Lord of Misrule: A fake official appointed to oversee Christmas festivities during the 15th and 16th centuries. Lords of Misrule were furnished with absurd hobbyhorses, dragons, and musicians to further the fun. Polydor Virgil says the feast of misrule was derived from the saturnalia, the disorderly Roman festival held in December. In real life Lords of Misrule sometimes win elections if the populace that votes for them is gullible enough. Letting them keep power always spells disaster.
I would welcome responses as to how these archetypes are used in House of Large Sizes. Write here, on Amazon, or on Goodreads.

So you wonder what type of males that women are searching for to marry. Well, the short answer is; any sort of man. The long solution is a bit more complex however fairly easy to comprehend. What type of males that women are searching for to marry, have much different things that decide it from the type of men that women are searching for to date. As well as the type of men that women are searching for to date are generally not all the same possibly.
In other words, which men that girls are looking for to marry is unique than what sort of men that ladies are looking for at this point. Now, precisely what is important to bear in mind is, if you happen to be the sort of woman that’s looking for a relationship and nothing else, then you certainly are much very likely to find that you will possess no good luck dating any sort of men that you might want. After all, if you prefer a man that will treat you good and still provide for you, then you certainly are going to have to become willing to handle him great and https://livingwordbride.org/asia/vietnam/ provide for him. This includes providing for your children as well, which we know is very important for almost all women.
Yet , if you happen to end up being the type of woman that is buying husband or maybe a boyfriend, standard much easier time for you to have one. For starters, you will need to learn how to certainly be a bit more open with men and with each person that you date. After all, you need to make sure they know, without trying to be also pushy, that you’re interested and want to date all of them. Many times, this will likely make the males that are available to want to pursue you. And these are the sort of men that women are looking for to get married to.

|Misty Mountain Ring with Montana Agate|

RAW 52/29 - Misty Mountain Ring
Another incredible picture stone I picked up recently. It's a Montana Moss Agate that has landscape-like dentritic moss. I think it looks like one of those Chinese ink paintings where the misty fog hovers around a mountain top. To preserve the translucency of the chalcedony, I left the back of the ring open. It makes me want to stare at it to see if I can find any human inhabitant. Can you hear the two birds flying above?

HI all! I have been suffering with a rotator cuff injury and frozen shoulder for 6 months...I did 4 months of PT, 8 visits with a massage therapist, 10 visits of acupuncture, 2 cortisone shots (one was ultra sound guided) and finally trigger point injections for my neck (only thing that that has helped...my neck though not my shoulder. was dx with 2 herniated cervical disks years ago and the FS has irritated my neck to say the least). I am so discouraged. Nothing works! The orthopedic surgeon wants me to do the manipulation but I have heard from other medical professionals (4 PTs and a nurse practitioner) not to get it.....risk fracturing your arm. doesn't help your shoulder to unfreeze much faster, still need lots of PT, etc. The other alternative is letting my FS "burn out" as the surgeon says and heal on its own which could take another 18 months. This is so discouraging. I have done all the right things and MORE! I have spent so much time, energy and money on this! Those who have had the manipulation, can you post how it went? Or those who did not, what HAS helped? Thank you!

American foodservice equipment provider Middleby has announced that the company will not increase its offer to acquire Welbilt.
The announcement comes after Italian foodservice equipment manufacturer Ali Group raised its all-cash offer to acquire Welbilt.
In April, Middleby entered a definitive merger agreement to buy smaller contender Welbilt in an all-stock transaction valued at $2.9bn.
Middleby said that it will not make any changes to the proposed agreement and allow the five-day period in which it could match the offer from Ali Group to expire. This would lead to the termination of the merger agreement.
Under the deal, Middleby will be entitled to receive $110m from Welbilt to terminate the merger.
Middleby CEO Timothy FitzGerald said: “We believe that the previously agreed terms of the merger agreement between Middleby and Welbilt offered significant long-term strategic value to the Welbilt shareholders through the ability to participate in substantial upside opportunity from Middleby’s continued growth while remaining attractive to our existing Middleby shareholders.
“As we considered our options over the course of the match period, we concluded to deploy our substantial financial resources wisely. We are excited about the momentum of our business and future prospects of our three-industry leading foodservice platforms.”
This May, Ali Group proposed to acquire all the outstanding shares of Welbilt common stock for $23 per share in cash for nearly $3.3bn.
Earlier this month, Ali Group submitted a definitive proposal and merger agreement to the Welbilt board of directors to acquire all outstanding shares of the latter’s common stock for $24 per share in cash.
The decision of Middleby could further strengthen the Italian company’s proposal.

This specific ISBN edition is currently not available.View all copies of this ISBN edition:
AUTHENTIC, LEATHER-BOUND REPRODUCTION OF ORIGINAL 1830 EDITION This special edition of the Book of Mormon is an authentic replica of the first edition printed by E. B. Grandin in Palmyra, New York. Like the original, it features thick covers, leather binding, and a "European joint," which was much more attractive than today's binding. The pages have been photo-mechanically reproduced from a first edition at actual size, preserving the font and content exactly. As an intriguing conversation piece, your copy will reveal to family and friends what few have seen--the beauty of the original Book of Mormon. See for yourself how this sacred book appeared when early converts read it - which, in fact, was easier to read, before it was divided into verses and chapters that break up the flow like later editions. Gospel scholars will find this edition handy in tracking the minor changes that have been made in subsequent editions. Hardcover, leather bound.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
IMPORTANT NOTE! Many sellers on Amazon (and even in bookstores) are confusing a cheaper version of the Book of Mormon replica with ours. The one published by Herald House (of Independence, Missouri) sells for $23.95 and has a hardback cover made with paper exterior, which some people think is leather (because of the color). However, our version, at only $11 more, is the ONLY VERSION THAT IS BOUND WITH REAL LEATHER. 3 reasons why our version is more like the original: 1) The LEATHER COVER, as stated. 2) The THICK COVER, which only ours has, and 3) The "EUROPEAN JOINT," which allows the cover to lay flat all the way to the spine and is much costlier to produce. (The other version, with its "modern joint," has a large, deep groove which you can readily see along the left side.) To further help set ours apart, ours is the only version with a promotional "DUST JACKET," which clearly states on the front that it is "Leather Bound," and which has a bright RED SEAL.

Salt saturated single drop microextraction of gold from water samples and its determination by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry
A new microextraction procedure, termed salt saturated single drop microextraction, combined with graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS) was introduced and developed for the determination of gold in water samples. This is the first report of the extraction of a cationic species by direct immersion SDME utilizing a polar solvent. A mixture of benzyl alcohol–isopropyl alcohol was used as the extracting solvent from the brine sample, which can be considered as a form of salting-out solvent extraction. The factors influencing the extraction efficiency, such as type and volume of extracting solvent, extraction time, pH, agitation of sample, temperature and volume of sample were investigated and optimized. The developed protocol was found to yield a linear calibration curve in the concentration range of 25 and 550 μg L−1 with a limit of detection of 7.4 μg L−1. The total analysis time including microextraction was less than 10 min. The method has been successfully applied for the analysis of gold in three spiked tap, lake and seawater samples.

The latest edition of the Associated Press Top 25 college football poll has been released, and to nobody’s surprise, some of the usual suspects round out the top three schools listed.
Clemson, Alabama and Georgia round out the top three, while Penn State and Wisconsin clock in at No. 9 and 17, respectively.
The Michigan Wolverines come in at No. 19, improving one spot from last week’s position of No. 20.
Here is the full list:
Michigan is currently idle, and will kick off their season October 24 against the Minnesota Golden Gophers on the road.
Matt Patricia talks the need for growth during Detroit Lions bye week
The Detroit Lions are entering their bye week after having dropped their third of four games so far on their 2020 schedule, a 35-29 defeat at the hands of the New Orleans Saints at Ford Field this past Sunday. To make matters worse, they lost in historic fashion.
Head coach Matt Patricia, who has once again found himself in the crosshairs of the fan base, is looking at the break as an opportunity.
“The bye week every single year is a great week to really do a good self-scout, take a look at things that you’re doing well, things that you’re not doing well,” Patricia said. “Obviously, we have some tape now, so we can get some game tape that we have that we can put things on and evaluate it. Do we like some of things we’re seeing, or what do we need to change? Or sometimes it maybe a little bit less, sometimes we just have to narrow down the focus and just try to do some things really well instead of maybe too many things at one time. It’s a great week for us. It’s got to be a big growth week for us from that standpoint.”
Growth in the form of immediate and desperately needed improvement would certainly go a long way in alleviating the ever-growing criticisms of Patricia, some of which are now coming from former players.


This is the flagship model of the Coolpix range which offers a smaller package than the Digital SLR range. The camera is available in a range of colours. The functionality is very similar to the functions in a fully specified SLR.
If you feel that you do not want the full flexibility of a Digital SLR then this camera may be for you. Being much smaller than a Digital SLR, a camera such as this is easy to take where ever you go. There is none of the complexity of the SLR camera with interchangeable lenses, it is all about simplicity and capturing the image at a moments notice.
The P7100 Coolpix offers a pixel count of 10.1-million pixels and is equipped with a large 1/1.7 inch CCD image sensor and a 7.1 times optical zoom.
The camera acquires focus in approximately 0.16 seconds and a shooting time lag of approximately 0.22 seconds. A 3 inch, 921k-dot, tilting LCD monitor with wide viewing angle is provided.
The camera is equipped with two command dials and one rotary multi selector to enable operation similar to that of a digital SLR camera. The camera is equipped with a special effects mode incorporating four new special effects, zoom exposure, defocus during exposure, cross process and creative monochrome.
There is a built in neutral density, ND, filter to reduce the amount of light that passes through the lens, to give a three stop decrease in shutter speed.
A built in HD movie recording function allows you to preserve impressive scenes with 1280 x 720-pixel frames and stereo sound.

Review by James Lindorf
Director Alexandre O. Philippe is continuing his look at some of the most significant scenes and films in cinema history with Memory: The Origins of Alien. In 1971 a relatively unknown writer named Dan O’Bannon penned a 29-page script entitled Memory. Eight years later, the Ridley Scott directed film, now known as Alien, would go on to be one of the most beloved Sci-Fi movies ever. After grossing ten times its production budget and spawning seven sequels, the fascination with the world of Alien is still expanding. Never-before-seen materials from O’Bannon and H.R. Giger, including original story notes, rejected designs, exclusive behind-the-scenes footage and interviews, are the backbone of the film. The film features appearances from Veronica Cartwright (The Birds), Roger Christian (Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope), Tom Skerritt (Top Gun), Ronald Shusett, and Roger Corman (The Silence of the Lambs). Screen Media will be releasing the film nationwide and On-Demand on October 4th.
It is evident in every frame that everyone involved in this production reveres the work done by Scott, O’Bannon, and Giger. It is both its greatest strength and weakness. When everything is sacred, it tends to lose meaning, just like the film has a habit of losing focus. It is unclear if they wanted to make a profile on O’Bannon, discuss the cultural impact of Alien or do a deep dive into the Chest-burster scene like Philippe’s film ‘78/52’. The dissection and discussion of that iconic scene are easily the strongest of the three elements. The recontextualization of specific scenes and themes in a modern atmosphere is a close second. This segment was a bit short because Alien didn’t have a decision as questionable as having a white woman play a Latinx woman like its sequel, Aliens. Everything else about the documentary is tied for a distant third, not because it is poorly made or presented, but because it borders on sycophantic. As shown, everyone who was involved in the creation of Alien is an unquestionable genius, and anyone who walked away or declined to participate is an unmitigated fool.
There is new information here, but most of it is far from groundbreaking. Memory does work as a one-stop-shop for information that is available, but spread thin among behind-the-scene featurettes, commentaries, and books about the production. Memory: The Origins of Alien is well made and a must-watch for any serious fan of Alien or Sci-Fi in general, but may lack the focus and surprises to keep casual viewers around until the credits roll.

UNDATED (KSLA) - Authorities have now captured the second man wanted in the murder of an Ark-La-Tex teenager.
Agents with the U.S. Marshal's Fugitive Task Force have captured 20-year-old Norman "Don" Heflin in the state of Massachusetts, that's according to Shreveport Police.
Heflin was wanted by Shreveport Police in connection with the death of 17-year-old Phillipe Livigni at University Elementary School, back on June 5th.
Back on June 13th, the U.S. Marshal's and Rhode Island State Police took the other suspect, Joshua Parker into custody.
Both Parker and Heflin allegedly met with Livigni behind University Elementary School, located in the 9900 block of Smitherman for some sort of meeting, according to Shreveport Police.
One of the men had a gun and shot Livigni. Livigni later died at LSU Hospital.

What, another Sponsored Post for a Kickstarter watch you ask? Well yes, but not your typical Kickstarter watch. I’ve been pretty vocal in my dislike of the usual Bauhaus, minimalist quartz offerings on crowdfunding websites. So those of you who are familiar with me know that I won’t be going that route. The Octagon Watch by Mark Carson is a piece that the demanding ABTW audience should appreciate.
While I’ve driven fast cars on a few race tracks and have some personal history with aviation, you aren’t going to get one of those backstories with this watch. It was created out of my passion for design – not some long dead watchmaker who flew across the ocean into a hurricane and then landed his plane onto a race track and then drove a car to victory with 2 broken legs while suffering from temporary blindness. Sorry…
Background: I have been designing unique and award winning watches since 2010 with my first watches delivered to customers in 2012. My watches have been featured on aBlogtoWatch.com, WristWatchReview.com, TotalWatchReviews.com, WatchPonder.com, OracleOfTime.com, and mentioned in a number of blogs and watch forums. And, I’ve completed 2 successful Kickstarter projects. So this isn’t my first rodeo.
Since introducing the ground breaking “Ka La” watch in 2012, I went on to design the international “A Award” winning “Ka La Sport” watches.
The Crash of ’29 was successfully funded via Kickstarter in 2015 and the Skyscraper was successfully funded via Kickstarter in 2016. Most recently, I designed the case for the Art Deco “Speakeasy” watches by Rpaige Watch Co.
I’m back again with another bold design – the Octagon Watch. Its unique case, dial, and hands are combined with a newly engineered Swiss movement. The Octagon Watch by Mark Carson/Individual Design is a Limited Edition of 100 pieces. I’m offering 98 of the 100 pieces in this series (2 are reserved for my personal use).
As I mentioned above and on Kickstarter, if you are looking for an aviation or auto racing “inspired” backstory, you will have to go elsewhere. This clean sheet design was not inspired by any other watch – it is not an homage (rip-off) of a famous brand’s iconic watch nor is it a “Bauhaus” or “minimalist” generic watch churned out by a nameless Asian factory. This watch was designed in Hawaii and each one will be assembled in Hawaii by a professional watchmaker.
The Octagon Watch by Mark Carson charts its own course by combining an original design with a classical composure and a newly designed Swiss hand wound movement, the BL-109. I was working on a solid dial design when my buddy Richard Paige suggested an open dial since this movement has such nice top side decoration. So with precisely this movement in mind, I set out to design a skeleton dial that would complement it.
One of the challenges with the octagon shape is that it does not match up very well with 12 hour markers. Bvlgari, are you reading this? So my solution was to align the corners of an octagon with the minor hours (1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10 & 11) while extending the orthogonal sides where the 12, 3, and 9 are located. The 6 o’clock position is of course dominated by the small seconds indication. For even more dial-side depth, I added applied hour markers with C3 Super-LumiNova.
The major hours have Roman numerals while the minor hours have baton makers. But I intentionally made sure that the batons did not look like a Roman numeral “I.” Personally, I hate watches with mixed Roman and baton makers where 2/3 of the markers seem to be the number 1.

Surprised by Love by Julie Lessman
From the publisher:
Shy and unattractive as a child, Megan McClare has always been teased by her classmates. But when she returns home from her senior year in Paris, the wallflower has suddenly blossomed into a beauty. With ambitions to become a lawyer or doctor, Megan accepts an internship at the district attorney's office only to discover that she will be working with Devin Caldwell, a boy who mercilessly mocked her at school--and with whom she was hopelessly enamored. She turns to her dear friend Bram Hughes for support and advice. But Bram's vision is clouded by his sudden unwelcome attraction to a girl he had always thought of as a kid sister. He advises forgiveness, but can he forgive himself for pushing the woman he loves into the arms of another man?
Fan favorite Julie Lessman draws a romantic triangle that will have readers in a tizzy in this glittering Gilded Age tale of transforming love.
If you are a Julie Lessman fan this book will not disappoint you! You will find yourself immersed in San Francisco and the lives of the McClares and their friends.
This is the third book in the Heart of San Francisco series. Readers who have not read the first two books will feel somewhat lost in the beginning of this book with all the characters and the inside stories. So I recommend reading the other two books first.
Julie Lessman writes a passionate romance for her readers. This book is not just about Meg and Bram's romance but also is the conclusion for Logan and Cait's romance. There are love triangles and struggles galore and this will keep readers turning the pages to find out more.
I did enjoy that Julie Lessman does include faith through out the book as the different characters must take their desires and wills to God and let Him direct things.
I received this book free from Revell Reads in exchange for my honest review.

February 3 court date for man accused of stabbing
Christopher Thomas, Gleaner Writer
The case against a St James man, who reportedly stabbed another man after accusing him of attacking the defendant's mother, has been put off until February 3, as the case file in the matter is not yet complete.
Forty-one-year-old Andrew Vacianna, an auto-body painter of a Montego Bay address, was before the Montego Bay Resident Magistrate's Court on Monday on a charge of wounding with intent, when his case was deferred.
He had his bail extended until the next court date. The allegations are that on August 20, 2014, the complainant got into a dispute with Vacianna's mother and her boyfriend.
However, the complainant left shortly afterwards, after tempers had cooled. It is further alleged that two days after that incident, the complainant was walking along the North Gully area in Montego Bay when Vacianna approached him and used a ratchet knife to stab him in the belly.
The complainant ran but was chased and stabbed again by the accused. A report was subsequently made to the police and Vacianna was taken into custody.
Under caution, Vacianna reportedly said: "Di bwoy rude and outa order. Him kick down mi madda Wednesday night and run off."
When the matter was mentioned on Monday, clerk of the court Paula-Sue Ferguson told presiding Magistrate Natalie Hart-Hines that the prosecution was awaiting a further medical certificate for the complainant.
Hart-Hines subsequently adjourned the case until February 3 and extended Vacianna's bail until that date.

If you're looking to test-drive a low carb recipes menu or if your current meal plan needs rejuvenation, we've pulled together a 7 Day Meal Plan with all Low Carb Diet Recipes to help you meet your weight loss goals. It'll be hard to turn down these amazing healthy meal plan. We don't know why you'd want to because not only are they nutritious, they're also delicious. With a mix of savory recipes and healthy dessert recipes on this page, you're sure to find recipes that will help you curb your cravings! After all, you don't want to undo your progress by picking up a few unhealthy snacks at the nearest vending machine.
Hi, I buy my raw, grain free cat food from http://www.naturalpetstore.com.au. Their dehydrated raw food (with all the yucky bits that they need) literally saved my kitty’s life after we accidentally poisoned her with a Yucca plant. 4 vets were useless (wanted to operate or change her diet to their grain filled products). She had never had grains so I wasn’t about to start. I also gave her digestive enzymes which I think Deb at natural pet foods now stocks.
Hi Sam, it won’t work. You will be incredibly hungry and you won’t have any energy. The idea of the keto diet is to get your body used to use fat to burn energy not carbs. Since you won’t be eating carbs energy has to come from “something” and it can’t be protein. I can’t recall what happens when you have too much protein when doing Keto but it was something scary. In general, I do not recommend the Keto diet without some sort of supervision by your doctor or nutritionist that can watch your process and progress.
Hi Carolyn, ha ha, you must have read my comment on Jimmy Moore’s FB page. I have a cat and she happily eats “Fussy Cat” Grain Free cat food http://www.vippetfoods.com.au/V.I.P.-Petfoods-Grain-Free-Dry-for-Cats/0,27127,112732,00.html . I don’t know if this is the best, but she has this alernating with fresh meat. Since she has changed to this formulation, she has had no gingivitis (inflammation of her gums).
But even if you’re not trying to lose weight, the keto meal plans might appeal to you. By limiting sugars and processed grains, you lower your risk of type 2 diabetes. Eating an array of heart-healthy fats, like nuts, olive oil and fish, can decrease your risk of heart disease. And while some people stick to a super strict keto diet, with 75 percent of their diet coming from fat, 20 percent from protein and just five from carbs, even a less intense, modified version can help you reap the keto diet’s benefits.
Low-carb diets may improve high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and triglyceride values slightly more than do moderate-carb diets. That may be due not only to how many carbs you eat but also to the quality of your other food choices. Lean protein (fish, poultry, legumes), healthy fats (monounsaturated and polyunsaturated) and unprocessed carbs — such as whole grains, legumes, vegetables, fruits and low-fat dairy products — are generally healthier choices.
Hi. I stumbled on your site via FB. I follow a lot of the advice you offer already. I typically eat scrambled eggs with turkey, a piece of wholebread toast and coffee for breakfast, salad and breast of chicken with vegetables for lunch and something similar (chicken or red meat or salmon) for dinner, with 2 snacks of 3 rice cakes with 150 gr. of turkey and a protein shake if I go to the gym (weights training 3x week). In the first 3 months of eating like this my % fat went down from 17.5 % to 14 % (44 yr old male), while keeping weight constant, but another 4 months later I stay the same. I wanted to ask, if I want to continue to lose fat, should I:
Take a break from breakfast: If you’re not hungry, feel free to skip breakfast and just have coffee (with some milk if you want it). Many people find that within a few days of eating low-carb, high-fat meals, cravings and hunger decrease significantly. This can make it easy to skip a meal, perhaps especially breakfast. Skipping a meal is cheap, fast, and might increase the diet’s effectiveness for weight loss and diabetes. See intermittent fasting
Healthy fats & oils are back in too: Eating fat does not automatically clog the blood vessels in the way that poring oil down the drain will eventually block the drain. You make your own cholesterol and lipids and are more likely to increase your levels of the more damaging Very Low Density Lipoprotein (VLD), which is made in the liver when you eat a high carbohydrate diet.
You’re very welcome, Judy! I’m glad it’s helpful. If you are keto (as opposed to low carb), unfortunately peaches would not allow you to stay in ketosis. You can check my keto food list to help determine what is keto friendly. Of course, there are worse things than fresh fruit 🙂 but in the end our bodies still see the sugar. That being said, it doesn’t mean you sabotaged the whole day. Just pick up again – you got this!! (And for next time, try some fresh berries in moderation when you’re craving fruit.)
I have just moved from South Africa, where lchf is commio and very supported, to the Isle of Man, where people just don’t seem to be in the know. I am BATTLING to find my foods, especially grain-free beakfast ‘cereal’, mixed seeds and psyllium husk for baking into crisp breads. Can anyone let me know where to get them, please? Is there anywhere online that would supply them?
Meal plan Cheese lovers, your time has finally come! It’s basic knowledge (among cheese lovers, at least) that cheese makes everything taste better, so we’re dedicating this week to this wonderful ingredient. You’ll enjoy various types of cheese such as mozzarella, cheddar, feta, goat cheese… and we won’t skimp on the cream cheese either. Not a member yet? Try it out 1 month for free.
Keto recipes that include nachos?! Oh yes. You’ll begin by making the fat head tortilla chips first. Did I mention you’ll use two types of cheese for this step? Delicious. Next, you’ll load them up with a meaty sauce and finish them off with your favorite toppings, like guac, salsa or sour cream. While these make a delicious keto snack, they’re frankly filling enough to share as a meal.
Eat fat only until full. Don’t eat any more than you can handle. Sometimes people think they have to eat lots of fat whereas it is really eating the fat that naturally comes with a meal (i.e:not trimming a fatty steak) and adding as much fat as feels right to your meals through sauces and cheese for example. I don’t go our of my way to eat extra fat. If you are still hungry though but don’t feel like the heavy feeling some fat brings, add some coconut cream to your smoothies.
I know you posted a few months ago, but I thought I would reply just incase its still relevant. After having a daughter who LOVES veges, I then had my son who at a year old suddenly refused veges. It was getting so bad he would make himself throw it up if we forced him. But we kept on going trying everything we could while getting extremely frustrated (While also being told by everyone he was too small and sickly (Which he always was but got worse when he stopped eating the veges)
Good Morning – I am a subscriber of your newsletter/updates. I recently joined WW on-line and recently have been very sick. BP started to rise, something I have never had to worry about, hopefully the medication. Any way, my doctor suggested low carb/atkins diet to jumpstart my need to lose 30 lbs. All is so confusing!!! I have cancelled my WW subscription, not doing well with that and really can’t afford to continue. Anyway, what is the difference in your plan and Atkins. As I said, all confusing. Any help would be appreciated!! Thanks!
Hi Jose, I don’t have cheat days at all. If I do ever splurge, it is possibly eating too many low carb goodies I make myself. I just have completely lost the taste for junk food. As for weight loss, eating lasagne and cheesecake, pizza, burgers and nutella can easily undo all your hard work for the entire week. Why not try to have a cheats meal rather than a cheat day? Part of the ethos of going low carb is to eat unprocessed food so I have recipes for all of these foods you still love and can enjoy them AND stay low carb. Try my sugar free nutella, low carb waffles, FatHead pizza, bunless burgers, cheesecake. I am sure a major reason for LCHF being so successful long term is because eventually we don’t actually want junk food, it’s not a treat anymore. This for me, is groundbreaking as someone who has dieted all my life.
I’ve tried low carb on and off over the years. It’s never stuck, and I’ve read a lot of advice that just hasn’t make it any more livable for me. I’ve settled on a lowER carb diet, ditching all flours, grains, dairy, and most sugars. I never eat junk food, and cook nearly everything myself. I eat enough fibrous vegetables (broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower…) and leafy greens to stay somewhat full. Water and black/green tea are my only beverages. Even though I gave up fruit for three whole months before, it wasn’t worth it for me. I will never give up fruit again, and the whole fruit-in-moderation advice didn’t work for me, either. Fresh fruit is the very last true culinary enjoyment I have left, and my quality of life without fresh fruit–berries, citrus, melons–plummets. I don’t eat dried fruit, and I work out five to six days a week with high intensity, focusing on large muscle groups; and walk with friends or alone nearly every day. I’d rather exercise more than give up fruit. I just came back from a session with my trainer and after a lean, nutritious lunch working at my desk, just had a snack of about 3/4-cup blueberries before meeting up with a friend in about a half hour for a 5-mile walk. And that snack (I’d have had more if I’d had more berries in the fridge) made today’s workout worth it for me.
Use fat as a lever. We’ve been taught to fear fat, but don’t! Both keto and low carb are high fat diets. Fat is our source of energy as well as satiety. The key to understand, though, is that fat is a lever on a low carb or keto diet. Carbs and protein stay constant, and fat is the one you increase or decrease (push the lever up or down) to gain or lose weight, respectively. So if your goal is weight loss, eat enough fat to be satisfied, but there’s no need to “get your fats in” once you’re satisfied.

Police officers caught on camera extorting passengers of a vehicle (video)
Some police officers have been captured on tape extorting passengers of a vehicle at a checkpoint.
In the video that found its way to the internet, some officers could be seen inside the vehicle they had stopped, while another officer who was outside asked a passenger if he had “sent it”.
“You don send am? E don enter?” The officer asked a passenger who confirmed he had “sent it”.
Although it is yet to be confirmed where the incident happened, the video has sparked outrage from Nigerians on social media.
Watch video below,
This comes after the Benue State Police Command apprehended an officer identified as Sgt. James Aondona, for allegedly killing a trailer driver in Katsina-Ala Local Government Area of the state.
According to reports, the sergeant shot the driver dead on Sunday, June 27, after he refused to pay money allegedly demanded by police officers at a roadblock along Katsina-Ala-Zaki-Biam road.
Activist, Ukan Kurugh revealed that the trailer driver was stopped by the operatives who mounted a road block and was asked to remit N3000 but he gave them N1500 stating that he didn’t have a full truck and can’t pay more than that.
An argument ensued over the driver’s refusal to pay the illegal levy and the policeman allegedly shot and killed him. An eyewitness claims that the trailer driver was heading to Katsina-Ala Local Government Area of Benue State when the incident occurred.
Spokesperson of the command, SP Catherine Anene, who confirmed the incident in a statement on Monday, June 27, said that the culprit, Sgt. Aondona, has been arrested.
The PPRO identified the deceased as Aondohumba Terkula. SP Anene said a preliminary investigation revealed that one of its officers, Sgt. James Aondona was properly briefed on his schedule of duty and posted to an observation point at Ngibo, Kastina-Ala LGA.

When Walter Kautondokwa was offered an unforeseen shot to fight Demetrius Andrade late last month, it only took a couple hours to finalize a deal to replace Billy Joe Saunders if Saunders wasn’t granted a boxing license by the Massachusetts State Athletic Commission.
It has taken boxing fans, media and others longer to learn how to pronounce Kautondokwa’s last name. The unbeaten Namibian middleweight hasn’t taken any offense to the mispronunciation of his surname, but he plans to make the boxing world take notice by upsetting Andrade.
The top-ranked Andrade (25-0, 16 KOs), of Providence, Rhode Island, and the second-ranked Kautondokwa are set to fight Saturday night for the vacant WBO middleweight title Saunders relinquished last week in the main event of an 11-bout card at TD Garden in Boston (DAZN).
“My last name is Kautondokwa (pronounced Cow-ton-doe-KWA),” Kautondokwa told BoxingScene.com before a press conference Thursday in Boston. “I know after this fight on Saturday, everybody will know how to pronounce my name. The world will start looking at me. They will know how to say Kautondokwa.”
Beyond pronouncing his last name, it’s also tough to know what to make of Kautondokwa (17-0, 16 KOs). He has knocked out 16 straight opponents since going the distance in his four-round pro debut five years ago.
Though apparently powerful, Kautondokwa has faced a low level of opposition and has boxed outside his native Namibia only once. He won that June 2017 bout in Accra, Ghana, by stopping Ghana’s Obodai Sai (34-3, 26 KOs) in the fifth round.
The 33-year-old contender called out Saunders numerous times before the unbeaten British southpaw lost his title for failing a Voluntary Anti-Doping Association test for a banned stimulant. That’s why Kautondokwa didn’t hesitate to take a steep step up in competition against an undefeated, left-handed opponent on short notice.
“I’m very excited to get this opportunity because I’ve been waiting for such an opportunity to come,” said Kautondokwa, a close friend of former IBF/IBO/WBA 140-pound champ Julius Indongo. “I’m very happy to get a chance to fight for a world title. It’s going to be a great thing in all of Africa. In Namibia, it’s going to be good for me to be a world champion because everybody there is excited when they heard I’m going to fight for the world title. Everyone is happy and they’re waiting for me to bring the belt back home.”

Agency chairman Adele Biss, together with consultants Tim Payton and Elliott Vaughn, will handle the account, reporting to RAC head of public affairs Ann Skey.
Key issues for the RAC PA team include the safety of ‘hard shoulder running,’ when cars will be allowed to drive on the hard shoulder if motorways are congested.
A trial is planned for some stretches of the M42 in the Midlands next year, as part of wider traffic management initiatives.
But Transport Secretary Alistair Darling has announced he wants to extend the scheme before the trial is completed, to include other motorways.
The RAC is concerned about the safety of their members and workforce if the hard shoulder is used as a running lane.

Temperature control in edible fungi cultivation - 2019-04-29 17:36:41
In the process of growth, edible fungi need to decompose, absorb and use nutrients, which is a complex biochemical process and requires the participation of a variety of enzymes. As a catalyst, enzyme is a special protein. Its activity is restricted by various environmental factors, especially the influence of temperature.Therefore, it is very important to control the temperature at every growth stage of edible fungi in cultivation.
1. "three basic points" of temperature control in different growth stages
In the cultivation of edible fungi, temperature directly affects the process of each growth stage, determines the length of the production cycle and the effect of cultivation, and is also one of the determinants of the quality and yield of edible fungi products.
Different strains of edible fungi have different temperature requirements in different growth stages.
Cultivation to primordium differentiation on the optimum temperature is divided into different type, mushrooms, for example, high temperature strain for 15 to 25 ℃, the temperature strain for 10 to 22 ℃, low temperature strain for 5-18 ℃.
No matter what kind of edible fungi or what strains in different growth stage, should grasp its fertility, optimum temperature, maximum temperature, minimum temperature is known as temperature control of the "three points", "three points" temperature of the common edible fungi such as mushroom mycelia 6 ℃, minimum temperature 24 ℃ and 33 ℃, highest optimum fruit body growth lowest temperature 8 ℃, the optimal 18 ℃, the highest 20 ℃.
Abalone mushroom mycelia minimum, optimum and high humidity are respectively 10 ℃, 25 ℃, 35 ℃, minimum fruit body growth, the optimum and the maximum temperature 18 ℃, 25 ℃, 32 ℃.
Most of edible fungus hypha growth stages were 0 to 25 + / - 1 ℃ temperature control for good, and fruit body growth stage is different fungi require great differences.
In the actual cultivation, bacteria culture stage generally master 2-3 ℃ lower than the optimum temperature, the temperature of the primordium differentiation generally lower than the fruiting body birth optimum temperature 5-7 ℃.
Should also be talking about is that the temperature is refers to the "product" warm, of fungus bag here and bacteria culture room "room temperature" and the "temperature" under natural climate is different, is the product at room temperature, mild hair early bacteria (15 days) product temperature lower than the room temperature, room temperature should be controlled at the optimum temperature of above, hair mid bacteria (15 to 30 days) due to the hypha growth, send out quantity of heat is tasted more than the room temperature for 2-3 ℃, should control the room temperature is lower than the optimum temperature for 2-3 ℃.
2. the bacteria age problem
Mushroom age refers to the time required for the cultivation bags of edible fungi to reach physiological maturity at the optimum temperature after inoculation and enter the fruiting stage.
This is also a very important problem in cultivation. Without knowing the required age of culture bacteria, it is impossible to master the production season, or even cause failure.
Different edible fungi have different age, even the same kind of bacteria but different varieties or cultivation methods have different age.
For example, lentinus edodes of medium-high temperature and medium-low temperature were planted in the same 15 60cm stick bag, and their fungus ages were 80 days and 120-160 days respectively.
Abalone mushrooms take 60 days and poplar mushrooms 50 days.However, the number of days of culture is only a reference data, and whether the physiological maturity has been reached should be mainly based on the unique characteristics of physiological maturity of various edible fungi.
For example, wood rot fungi such as lentinus edodes and shiitake edodes often grow hyphae under inappropriate temperature, and their nutrient accumulation is insufficient, while substances formed by unfavorable fruiting entities in metabolism accumulate in large quantities, resulting in delayed fruiting or serious rotten tube.
It can also be seen that the effect of temperature on the physiological maturation of mycelia is a very long process, which is not limited to a few days in the culture period.
3. accumulated temperature problem
The sum of the temperatures necessary for a plant (including edible fungi) to complete a growth cycle is called the accumulated temperature.
Domestic accumulated temperature of edible fungi is not much, in the study of foreign countries, such as Japan more seriously, according to their research, generally low temperature log cultivated mushroom varieties, need effective accumulated temperature of 4000-5000 ℃, 3000-4000 ℃ high temperature variety, from a practical point of view, sawdust cultivation xianggu mushroom in our country needs much less accumulated temperature, according to our province high-yield, sawdust bag cultivation xianggu mushroom, from August 25 vaccination in low temperature type 087 strains bacteria culture under the warm to November 2, mushroom, total 68 days, bacteria culture period, the average temperature of 21.3 ℃, the effective accumulated temperature of 1108 ℃.
In the cultivation practice, if the problem of proper temperature culture and temperature accumulation is not paid attention to during the cultivation period, the fungus age will be greatly extended, and the physiological maturity will not be reached, which will affect the fruiting of mushroom. This phenomenon can be found in edible fungi such as tea tree mushroom, abalone mushroom, ostreatus vinifera mushroom, ferula ferula, and enoki mushroom.
In production, the use of natural climate for cultivation, the effective way to control the temperature is to grasp the local climate, species of species, and formulate a scientific seed making, bag making, culture and mushroom season;Those with regulatory facilities can set control and other management measures according to production requirements.
However, temperature is only one of many ecological factors in the life of edible fungi. In practice, edible fungi are influenced by many factors, so it is necessary to master comprehensive ecological conditions and apply them flexibly in order to obtain high quality and yield.

are a common fastener, often used to secure bolts or screws to mechanical components. They are usually made of metal and have internal threads that mate with the external threads of a screw or bolt so that the two parts can be securely joined together. Nuts come in many different shapes and sizes to suit a variety of applications. The most common is the hex nut, which has six sides and is commonly used in the machinery and construction industries. In addition, there are various other shapes of nuts, such as round, square, rectangular, octagonal, etc., to meet specific design requirements.Nuts can be classified according to the specifications of their internal threads. Common specifications include imperial, metric, and other standards. Nuts can also be classified according to their surface treatment, such as galvanized, chrome-plated, heat-treated, etc. Different types of nuts have different advantages and suitability for different applications. When selecting a nut, factors such as strength, corrosion resistance, temperature range and durability need to be considered.In conclusion, nuts are a very common mechanical fastener used in a wide variety of mechanical and construction applications and come in many shapes, sizes and specifications to meet different design needs.
is a common mechanical fastener, usually used in conjunction with a bolt, screw, etc., to connect two or more components. Here are some applications of nuts:Mechanical fastening: Nuts and bolts or screws are used in conjunction to fasten two or more parts together, such as splicing wood panels, metal panels, etc.Adjusting height: In some equipment or machines, nuts can also be used to adjust height or balance. For example, they can be used to adjust the balance of machine tools or to adjust the height of furniture feet.Locking: In some cases, nuts can be used to lock other fasteners to ensure they cannot loosen or unravel. This usage is usually more common in high pressure pipelines, aerospace and other fields.Emergency Repairs: Nuts can also be used as a temporary solution to keep machinery or equipment running when other fasteners are broken or loose.

MIDDLEBURY — Mary Hogan Elementary School board directors are hoping for a big turnout at the ID-4 school district annual meeting on Wednesday, April 8. At the 7 p.m. meeting at the school gym residents will vote on the Middlebury elementary school’s proposed 2015-2016 spending plan of $6,775,965, and also potentially change the date and manner by which future spending plans are voted.
VERGENNES — Vergennes aldermen in a 4-2 vote on Tuesday agreed to defend in court their support for a proposed East Street preschool playground.
The action came in response to a March 18 lawsuit that East Street resident John O’Donnell, who has spoken against the project at public meetings, filed in Addison Superior Court that sought a preliminary injunction ordering Vergennes to cease efforts to build the playground.
BRISTOL — A Bristol business dedicated to high-quality products is expanding with the help of a loan from the Addison County Economic Development Corp.
The ACEDC gave Vermont Farm Table a loan totaling $38,000, part of a financing program totaling $100,000, with additional funds coming from the National Bank of Middlebury. The company plans to use the capital to hire new staff to expand its operations and invest in product development.
VERGENNES — Vergennes police portray the man suspected of robbing two city banks as a desperate drug addict who was nevertheless remorseful for his actions.
Police arrested 44-year-old Addison resident Ricky D. Putnam, late on Saturday afternoon after he voluntarily came to the Vergennes Police Department.
VERGENNES — At their meeting on Tuesday, members of the Vergennes City Council dealt with a lawsuit against the planned toddler park (see story), and also:
ADDISON — The Addison Planning Commission is seeking input from town residents as it prepares updates to the town plan that will also help planners to make final some long-awaited changes to Addison’s zoning laws.
The commission is in the process of surveying residents on how they feel about a number of specific land-use questions and general issues about development and town priorities, and members are hoping for as broad a response as possible.
MIDDLEBURY — A Huntington man on Monday pleaded innocent in Addison Superior Court, criminal division, to six separate charges — including attempting to elude police, driving under the influence and possession of narcotics — following a chase in Monkton on March 14.
ADDISON — With Vermont Gas having pulled the plug on its Phase II natural gas pipeline plan, attention is now shifting to another project designed to funnel energy through Lake Champlain — although the proposal in question has not drawn the same controversy that the Vermont Gas application generated.
At issue is the New England Clean Power Link, a proposal by TDI New England for a 1,000-megawatt, high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission line that would stretch south from the Canadian border at Alburgh to Ludlow.


With the expansion of the city of Sydney, the number of residents has increased sharply, gentrification and the pressure on the city’s public space has increased. Industrial land in cities is gradually being removed or stopped, and the suspended industrial land needs to be revitalised and used again.The Bays Precinct is close to the Sydney Central Business District as the original industrial land. Simultaneously, it has close ties with many local centres and employment clusters in the inner west. With the increasing urbanisation and many residents who cannot afford to house, the ‘shelter for all’ policy promoted by the Inner West Council has attracted many people to live. The rejuvenation of The Bays Precinct requires establishing a new foundation of identity and sense of place. The landscape architect will be committed to injecting art for attraction and encouraging people to lead Phytoremediation action.The aim is to create sustainable artistry equal accessed environment for all the public. This area will initially be landscape led and revitalised by spontaneous local art occupation, later becoming established arts communities. Moreover, it will focus on increasing public social participation and promoting the ‘growth’ of society, environment, and heritage.

Torit, 11 January 2021; Heavy fighting between Dinka pastoralists group and native Lokoya community of Central Equatoria state has been going on for the last three days, a source from the area divulged to this publication this afternoon.
According to the source, the fighting started after Dinka pastoralists grazing their cows in the area attack Lokoya village and killed three young boys and a girl.
According to the unnamed source when the chief of Lokoya went to inquire about the killings of the three children the nomadic Dinka cattle owners detained the chief.
This, however, prompted the Lokoya youth to mobilized in self-defend, the youth armed themselves with traditional tools like arrows, spears, panga and attack the cattle camp.
The heavily armed Dinka cattle herders sponsored by South Sudan People's Defense Forces responded and repulsed the youth of Lokoya.
Our source said yesterday on Sunday the youth regrouped on the mountain with more reinforcement and laid tactical ambush since then more reinforcement from neighboring areas are coming. It is believed both sides have taken heavy causalities.
The same source said by Monday (Today) morning Dinka pastoralists have been pushed towards the Olubo area, as the youth are following them.
Meanwhile, another group of the Dinka has been spotted heading with a large number of cows toward the Acholi Agoro area, people from Bari, Olubo, and Lothugo are expected to join as of yesterday the Dinka were attacking passenger vehicles coming from Juba and Torit indiscriminately.
In meantime, other groups of cattle are said to be heading towards the Pageri Madi area, and in the next coming days, they will reach Pageri as they are seeking safety.
What is not clear is whether the government in Juba is planning to send reinforcement to back the Dinka pastoralists as some SSPDF were already been seen by eyes witnesses fighting alongside the Dinka pastoralists in Lokoya area Central Equatoria State.

Ladner is a community designed around automobile dependency, but that can be changed.
That's the vision of university students Alex Gaio and Aaron Meier, both Delta Secondary grads, who came up with the Ladner Crosstown Greenway Bike Route Concept. It's a series of potential bike/walk paths connecting East Ladner with the rest of the community.
The pair came up with the proposal in response to the Fraser Health, Coastal Health and UBC My Health My Community survey that suggested a strong correlation
between health and active transportation, but found Delta is a community that sees lower than average walking, cycling and transit use, while having above average car use. Gaio and Meir say there is a great opportunity to promote healthier lifestyles by providing safer walking and cycling connectivity.
Their concept can be seen on a website they set up at alex.gaio.me/ctg/that also includes an online survey and petition. They were confused by the lack of transportation choices for students and wanted to explore the option of improving mobility, so decided to gather feedback from residents.
Saying they haven't made a presentation to the Corporation of Delta, Gaio told the Optimist they're hoping to eventually get the engineering department to explore the feasibility of the potential route alignments once input from locals has been gathered. "We put those ideas out there as a catalyst to start a conversation," he explained.
Gaio said they'd like to eventually see a plan in place that would create a bike and walk path connecting Ladner to a new multi-use path that will be constructed in Tsawwassen, a partnership announced this summer between the Tsawwassen First Nation and provincial government, as well as the George Massey Tunnel replacement bridge, although those discussions would be further down the road.
"My primary goal for now is to help increase transportation choice in Delta and hopefully improving public health as a result," he added.
Gaio and Meir pitched their idea at a meeting of the HUB Cycling South Delta Committee, getting, as expected, a positive response.
The committee's Patrick Thompson said the time couldn't be better to start planning for safe bike routes that would create connectivity with most of South Delta to the new bridge. Right now, South Delta has a few good pockets of routes but those dots need to be connected, he said.
"It's one of our priorities at Delta HUB and we're in touch with the Massey Tunnel folks because we see that as a gate opening, essentially, with the bridge. Right now the tunnel is a major obstacle," he said.
As far as River Road, he said it has been improved and diverting trucks to the South Fraser Perimeter Road has helped, making it safer for people to cycle to Tilbury, but more is needed.

According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, organizers of Philly Pride Presents have disbanded after facing criticism over social posts seen by many in the LGBTQ community as 'tone deaf' and offensive. Their signature event had already been postponed from June to September before now, being canceled entirely.
The social post deemed to be the impetus for the dissolution was made on the Philly Pride Presents Facebook page on June 10. The post about the Stonewall Riots included language seen as transphobic and police-positive, positions the community in Philadelphia quickly condemned.
A week went by before the group issued an apology on the same Facebook page, which drew even more criticism of the group leaders. After a short time, the Philly Pride website was scrubbed of current events and the page was removed from Facebook.
There are groups organizing and planning to replace the events previously scheduled with new events. Abdul-Aliy Muhammad, co-founder of the Black and Brown Workers Co-Operative, tells the Philadelphia Inquirer, "It allows for something new to be born. It allows for something resonant with Black and brown queer and trans people in the city, for all LGBTQ folks in the city, to have a space that's truly held by the people in our community."
