Chiquis Rivera’s Personal Life
Chiquis Rivera’s private life has been in a public review since she was young.
Her aunt Rosie accused Jose Trinidad Marin of sexually assaulting her and her nieces, Chiquis and Jacquie; medical tests confirmed the accusations. Her father was a fugitive for nine years before being sent to jail.
Chiquis and her mother Jenni were in a big fight; they didn’t speak because her mom accused her of having an affair with her husband, Chiquis’s stepfather Esteban Loaiza. Chiquis denied all the accusations, but the fight continued, and she didn’t speak with her mom.
Chiquis and her mom didn’t get the chance to reconcile because her mother died in a plane crash in 2012. Chiquis has said that they would have reconciled.
She had a relationship with Angel Del Villar from 2012 to 2015. She dated Lorenzo Mendez, and they married in June 2019, but after some time together during the Covid quarantine, they announced they were getting divorced.

She loved the experience of appearing on TV, and she starred in her mini web-series Chiquis Confidential. With her siblings, Chiquis started a spin-off of I Love Jenni called The Riveras. The series was the fourth and final season on NBC Universo on 11 August.
In early 2014, Chiqis started her singing career. Her first single was Paloma Blanca; she wrote the single as a tribute to her late mother.
Later in 2014, she appeared at Premios Juventud. The debut in her international career was the performance of “Esa No Soy Yo.”

Enchanted Rock State Park in Fredericksburg, Texas wants you to leave your four legged friend at home if you plan on visiting the park.
The park announced on Twitter, that 3 dogs have died within one week from heat stroke due to the high temperatures. The temperature on the granite gravel trails can quickly reach 130 or higher.
Enchanted Rock staff actually take temperature readings of the granite because that natural part of the park heats up the quickest.
Some easy tips to prevent your pet from overheating:
- Make sure your pet rests in a shady area.
- Be certain that pets have enough water when going on trails or hikes.
- Avoid hot surfaces such as rocks, asphalt or concrete as their paws can quickly burn.
- Take frequent breaks and don't over do it.
- Bring treats along with you so your pet(s) can keep their energy up.

Display text messages at concerts
Imagine this. You’ll go to a concert and local-text everybody on a large screen...for all to see and wonder what the hack are you trying to say! Anyway, this will happen beginning with the summer Clay Aiken tour. Finally, you can do a lot more with your phone than just wave it or stick it. In fact, it’s still marketing. I only hope it's a small phenomenon. Follow me…
Large screens in each venue on the tour will offer audiences a way to display text messages for all to see. There will be also a call-in number for purchasing a variety of official merchandise.So, the public will have their heads down the whole time, text messaging and buying stuff instead of enjoying the concert. I think Fred Durst will be very annoyed seeing people aren'y paying to much attention to his wanna be rock music.
You see something you like, and we deliver it to your home,Boomerang Mobile Media founder and CEO Glenn Field said.
These are exclusive items purchased through the security of your phone, and the day it should have arrived you’ll get a follow-up phone call to confirm you received it.Roger that. What’s next Glenn?


Mapping technology protects local turtles
Noosa Shire Council has introduced a new mapping tool to help protect the region’s turtles.
Noosa’s beach cleaning contractors will soon be issued with new Global Positioning System (GPS) mapping technology to help them steer clear of turtle nests on the eastern beaches.
The new technology will better protect the turtles and their nests during daily beach combing activities.
Contractors access the mapping tool using dash-mounted iOS, Android or Windows tablets.
The app alerts the drivers to nest locations.
“A lot of the time beach cleaning takes place before the sun is up,” explained Technical Officer Craig Smit.
“This new mapping tool means the contractor can navigate around the nests using GPS, rather than trying to work out their locations from a handwritten or printed list.”
Wildlife volunteers document the turtle nest locations and submit the details to Council using handheld GPS devices.
Council staff members then add this information to the digital mapping system used by the cleaning contractors.
“It is easy to implement and it’s helping protect turtles and their nests, which are often hidden in the dunes,” Mr Smit said.
He said injury to turtles on the beach due to beach combing was uncommon, but the new technology promised to minimise the risk further and provide the contractors peace of mind.
“The beach cleaners have been using the GPS maps for a short time and the feedback has been good,” Mr Smit said.


NHS trusts will be banned from purchasing new fax machines beyond January 2019, after the health secretary ordered a complete phase-out of the technology by April 2020.
Under the directive of Matt Hancock, NHS organisations have been instructed to remove all fax machines from operation by 31 March 2020 and move toward more modern and secure methods of communication.
NHS organisations will be monitored on a quarterly basis until they declare themselves ‘fax free’, the Department of Health and Social Care announced on 9 November.
The directive forms part of Hancock’s tech vision for the NHS, which will eventually require digital health services and IT systems to meet a set of open standards to ensure they can talk to each other across organisational boundaries.
Any system that does not meet these standards will be phased out and the government will look to end contracts with health IT suppliers who refuse to play ball.
Hancock said he wanted to “bring [the NHS] into the 21st century and use the very best technology available.”
“We’ve got to get the basics right, like having computers that work and getting rid of the archaic fax machines still used across the NHS when everywhere else got rid of them years ago,” the health secretary said.
“I am instructing the NHS to stop buying fax machines and I’m setting a deadline for getting rid of them altogether. Email is much more secure and miles more effective than fax machines. The NHS can be the best in the world – and we can start with getting rid of fax machines.”
Parts of the NHS have already made a move towards removing outdated tech from the health service, with the mission to phase out fax machines championed by Leeds Teaching Hospitals’ ‘Axe the Fax’ campaign.
Launched in September, the campaign encourages NHS organisations to commit to removing fax machines and share information, challenges and best practices that could help speed up the process. Previously, there has been no nationally-led incentive to do so.
Leeds Teaching Hospitals has pledged to remove 95% of some 320 remaining fax machines by 1 January 2019 and replace them will more modern processes, such as scan-to-email.
Richard Corbridge, CIO of Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, said: “There is a huge disjoint in the digitisation of the NHS. While some areas are looking at artificial intelligence, others are still faxing patient information from one area of the hospital to another.
“Today’s announcement that fax machines will not be purchased from next month and be banned from March 2020 is a landmark in the Axe the Fax campaign, which has been locally led and driven and received huge buy-in not only from NHS organisations across the country but as far as the US and Australia.”
The bid to eradicate fax machines followed a freedom of information request in July, which revealed a startling reliance on the technology within the NHS.
The request, made by the Royal College of Surgeons, found that there were some 9,000 fax machines still in use across the health service, which were scrapped by most other industries in the early 2000s.
Richard Kerr, chair of the Royal College of Surgeons’ Commission on the Future of Surgery, said: “It is ludicrous that so much of the NHS is still reliant on fax machines to communicate.
“There are very exciting technologies coming down the road that promise to transform the way we provide medical care to patients.
“The NHS needs a modern communications system that matches up to these technological advances.”

As Queen played behind them, the guys took on hits like "We Will Rock You," "Don't Stop Me Now,""Crazy Little Thing Called Love," "Another One Bites the Dust" and "Somebody to Love." While no one can ever live up to Freddie Mercury's amazing vocals, there definitely was a clearcut winner.

On Twitter, the Cuban institution recalled Cardoso, who was president of the UNEAC’s literature section and, in turn, invited to rediscover “his Creole and unique work.”
Some of his books are “Taita, diga usted cómo (Taita, Say How),” in 1945; “El cuentero” (The storyteller), in 1958; “El caballo de coral (The Coral Horse),” in 1960; “Cuentos completos (Complete stories), in 1962; La otra muerte del gato (The other death of the cat), in 1964; El hilo y la cuerda (The thread and the rope), in 1974; La cabeza en la almohada (The head on the pillow), in 1983; Negrita, in 1984, and Dos ranas y una flor (Two Frogs and a Flower), in 1987.
With his peculiar and eloquent voice, Cardoso bequeathed to generations of Cubans well-known stories such as the unforgettable Francisca y la muerte (Francisca and death), which is part of the curricula of the national education system.
He also worked as cultural advisor to the Cuban embassy in Peru in the mid-1970s, and on his return to the island he was elected president of the UNEAC literature section, a responsibility he took on until his death, on May 29, 1986.
Publishers from Russia, Hungary, Romania, Poland, France, Mexico, and Cuba, have published collections of his stories, which have been translated into more than 12 languages.
Among his many prizes, he received the status of Doctor Honoris Causa from the Simon Bolivar University, in Bogota (Colombia), and from the University of Havana, as well as a number awards.

Earlier this month, ESL and DreamHack signed a similar partnership with DouYu competitor Huya focused on Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Dota 2 events. A merger between both companies has been speculated on for several months, as both companies have received large investments from tech giant Tencent Holdings. In June, Beijing News reported that a merger is already in the works, citing people familiar with the matter.

Medical Humanities and Health Studies Seminar
Elizabeth A. Nelson, PhD, assistant professor, MHHS; adjunct professor, history, presents, "Treatment, Rehabilitation, and Care at Central State Psychiatric Hospital c. 1990."
Elizabeth Nelson will explore patient-staff interactions at Indiana’s Central State Hospital (1848-1994) in the years before its closure, revealing intricate technologies of care on the Dual Diagnosis Unit (DDU). Based on patient-produced newsletters, archival sources, and oral history interviews with former staff, Nelson reconstructs three rehabilitative technologies – Family-Style Dining, the Sheltered Workshop, and the Newspaper Club – and the tensions between the daily practice of care and the goal of achieving patient autonomy that each embodied. This talk not only sheds light on the experiences of patients with multiple disabilities and the roles played by allied health professionals at a state psychiatric facility, but also allows us to consider deinstitutionalization, at least in the case of the DDU, as a disruption of care.

Merry Karnowsky Gallery is proud to present a solo exhibition of new works by renowned American artist Todd Schorr. One of the most prominent pop surrealist painters working today, Schorr uses the exacting techniques of the old masters to paint colorful cartoon characters, corporate mascots and other pop culture icons in a unique style he calls “cartoon realism.”
The Opening Reception on March 28 will be hosted by actor David Arquette, and a portion of the evening’s sales will go to Feeding America, the nation’s leading domestic hunger-relief charity.
Schorr’s work is highly influenced by the popular culture of his childhood: post-war 1950’s America. His formative years were spent watching countless horror, sci-fi, war, cartoon, cowboy, and puppet shows on a black-and-white TV set, building styrene plastic models, reading comic books, and leafing through his parents’ National Geographic magazines.
The compulsion to replicate the characters he saw in cartoons, commercials, comic books and magazines led to a formal education at The Philadelphia College of Art. Schorr began his career as an illustrator in New York City, which exposed him to a new set of influences from the world of advertising and commercial art. Though his career as an illustrator was successful (his work appeared on the cover of Time Magazine in 1982), Schorr soon left the commercial world and began expressing his ideas on canvas.
Schorr says: “Like any artist of worth, it took many long years of struggle and investigative thought along with trial and error as well as constant honing of technique to reach the point where I felt I had created a language which, when spoken well, would command some semblance of purpose. I work in what is best described as a surreal style but filtered through the mind and eyes of what is, for better or worse, uniquely American.”
In 2008 Schorr’s work was shown at the Laguna Art Museum as part of “In the Land of Retinal Delights: The Juxtapoz School,” and a solo retrospective exhibition will be held at the San Jose Museum of Art in 2009.
Schorr’s work has been featured in Juxtapoz, Dangerous Ink, and in the documentary film, The Treasures of Long Gone John. Schorr’s most recent monograph is Dreamland, 2004, published by Last Gasp Press. His new book, American Surreal will be released in 2009. Schorr currently resides with his artist-wife Kathy in Los Angeles, CA.

Baths (a.k.a. LA musician Will Wiesenfeld) stopped by the A.V. Club this week to take part in the A.V. Undercover series with an LCD Soundsystem track. He explained his choice of the oft-covered “All My Friends” by saying, “I’ve always liked the song…it feels very timely and serendipitous and everything now that they’re breaking up, and it feels important that I get to do this song at this point in time.”
Wiesenfeld added, “I did the video edit [version because] I saw the music video first and I fell totally, totally in love with it. I thought it was beautiful.” That decision means that Baths’ cover lacks the soaring scope of the 8-minute original. Wiesenfeld also chooses to pare the song down to just vocals, piano, and soft handclap percussion. Judged by itself, the cover is a competent, quietly sad performance, but it’s hard to measure up to James Murphy’s much-lauded original. The abbreviated lyrics in Baths’ version feel gloomy when they’re not driven by LCD Soundsystem’s insistent, sparkling keyboard. Murphy’s arrangement is bittersweet, but it’s a celebration of nostalgia while Baths’ cover is more like a eulogy.

80 Year Old Richland Man Killed in I-84 Collision
Boardman, OR – Oregon State Police (OSP) is continuing the investigation into Monday morning’s multi-vehicle collision on the westbound lanes of Interstate 84 near Boardman that resulted in the death of 80-year old Melvin J. Mitchell of Richland.
According to Lieutenant Mike Turner, at approximately 7:47 a.m., an oversized heavy equipment load was being transported in the westbound lanes of Interstate 84 west of Boardman. The oversize load was escorted with support vehicles and a rolling slowdown of traffic was being deployed to prevent traffic from moving past the group of vehicles.
A Ford Explorer pulling a travel trailer was among a long stretch of slow moving traffic east of the Boardman interchange near milepost 164.5 when the trailer was struck in the rear by a 2012 Ford Mustang driven by 27 year old Mitchell E. Davis, from Mattawa, Washington. Davis’ grandfather, Melvin Mitchell was a passenger. After the initial collision the Ford Mustang was disabled and stopped in the right westbound lane.
After Davis got out of the Mustang and helped his grandfather get out, they were standing next to the car when three commercial vehicles approached from the rear and weren’t able to stop. One commercial truck passed on the right shoulder. A second commercial truck passed to the left and the third commercial truck struck the stopped Ford Mustang and Melvin Mitchell, resulting in fatal injuries. Davis received minor injuries but remained at the scene to assist investigators.
The driver of the commercial truck that struck the Ford Mustang was transported to Good Shepherd Medical Center in Hermiston with minor injuries. He is identified as 65 year old Ronald Cook of Lincoln, Nebraska.

In his paper Sampson is basically taking on the Broken Windows approach to disorder, that visible and quite real signs of disorder encourage people to engage in criminal and other deviant acts. In one sense, Sampson wants to bring Durkheim back into the picture, that anomie – or a spirit or sense of disorder – is also vital to sociology.
As he says, “My general thesis is that perceptions of disorder constitute a fundamental dimension of social inequality at the neighborhood level and perhaps beyond… I argue that the grounds on which perceptions of disorder are formed are contextually shaped by social conditions that go well beyond the usual suspects of observed disorder and poverty, a process that in turn molds reputations, reinforces stigma and influences the future trajectory of an area (6).”
Sampson brings an intriguing mix of photoethnography, historical and theoretical analysis, and quantitative data from Chicago. His main thrust is to say that “because the link between cues of disorder and perception is socially mediated, it is malleable and thus subject to change.” He wants to get away from a mono-causal view of disorder to an understanding of disorder as something more complex and interactive, as these two contrasting figures from his paper show.
Besides being a great read about Shane Battier and success in professional basketball, The No-Stats All-Star article by Michael Lewis in last Sunday’s New York Times Magazine carries a larger lesson about how our understanding of the world is shifting. One of its main points is that we are becoming increasingly statistics driven, with sports at the leading edge of this transformation. We can spend lots of money on stars, like the New York Yankees, or we look more closely at what actually leads to success and how we can achieve that with less money. Shane Battier epitomizes this change because his individual stats are rather mediocre, his physical skills rather normal for an NBA player. But he makes his team win.
The key question becomes, how does he do this? That is where Michael Lewis mixes qualitative research (interviews) and ethnographic insight (coming from Battier’s own experience) with an examination of new ways of measuring everything that might count about a basketball game. It’s a powerful mix.
For me it illustrates two important points about how we can develop better measures, ones that are closer to what actually determine outcomes and that don’t fall into so easily into measuring our own beliefs about the world. And yes, by “our own” I mean the researchers who come up with the measures. Here’s a relevant section describing Daryl Morey, the man behind the Houston Rockets new approach to figuring out what works:
What [Morey] will say, however, is that the big challenge on any basketball court is to measure the right things. The five players on any basketball team are far more than the sum of their parts; the Rockets devote a lot of energy to untangling subtle interactions among the team’s elements. To get at this they need something that basketball hasn’t historically supplied: meaningful statistics. For most of its history basketball has measured not so much what is important as what is easy to measure — points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocked shots — and these measurements have warped perceptions of the game. (“Someone created the box score,” Morey says, “and he should be shot.”) How many points a player scores, for example, is no true indication of how much he has helped his team.
Here is how it makes a difference. Battier doesn’t get great traditional stats – points scored, shots blocked, and so forth. But he does things that, on aggregate, make a bigger difference.
Dear readers. Dr. Charles Whitehead wrote a long and thoughtful response to my earlier post on the Flynn Effect, but I worried that comments may not get read as often (or carefully) as the main posts, so I’m taking the liberty of giving Dr. Whitehead his own post. For more about Charles Whitehead’s work and his online activities, see Charles Whitehead: Social Mirrors here at Neuroanthropology.
From an anthropological point of view cognitive scientists are being less than rational when they treat intelligence scales as though they are measuring something fundamental and innate in human beings. No doubt innate abilities are used by people when they tackle IQ tests, but it is unlikely that such abilities evolved under selection pressure for this kind of problem solving.
Intelligence scales are culturally embedded artifacts designed to meet the idiosyncratic needs of postindustrial western societies, and reflect the equally idiosyncratic assumptions found in the west – such as our habit of referring to someone as “brainy” when we mean “intelligent”, and the widely held assumption that brains got bigger during human evolution because of selection pressure for “intelligence” (and/or language: e.g. Deacon 1992). The idea that human intelligence is the ultimate pinnacle of biological evolution may be little more than colonialist propaganda, suggesting that “scientific” societies are the ultimate pinnacle of cultural evolution – and hence morally entitled to dominate others who formerly managed perfectly well without the blessings of “modernity”.
Sir Francis Galton devised the first intelligence test in the late 19th century and this was followed by the scale developed by Alfred Binet and Théophile Simon between 1905 and 1911 (Atkinson et al., 1993: 457-8). As early as 1884 Galton examined more than 9,000 visitors to the London exhibition and found to his chagrin that eminent British scientists could not be distinguished from ordinary citizens on the basis of head size (ibid: 458). From that point on the kind of assumptions made by Galton have continued to pervade scientific thinking with little or no empirical encouragement.
In this Perspectives piece in Nature Neuroscience Reviews, Han and Northoff review the evidence on how culture influences neural mechanisms, highlight the need to integrate social neuroscience and cultural cognition research, argue for transcultural neuroimaging as an effective method for cultural neuroscience, and lay out implications for the future of this emerging field.
But if you don’t take my word for it, here’s their abstract:
Our brains and minds are shaped by our experiences, which mainly occur in the context of the culture in which we develop and live. Although psychologists have provided abundant evidence for diversity of human cognition and behaviour across cultures, the question of whether the neural correlates of human cognition are also culture-dependent is often not considered by neuroscientists. However, recent transcultural neuroimaging studies have demonstrated that one’s cultural background can influence the neural activity that underlies both high- and low-level cognitive functions. The findings provide a novel approach by which to distinguish culture-sensitive from culture-invariant neural mechanisms of human cognition.
Cultural Effects on Cognition
Han and Northoff systematically cover research on “cultural effects on cognition,” including perceptual processing, attentional modulation, language and music, and number representation and mental calculation. Their Figure 1, presented below, summarizes research on culture and attention, highlighting context-dependent differences in attention between Americans and East Asians.
Maximilian Forte over at Open Anthropology recently covered an interview with Maurice Bloch that appeared in Eurozine. In his summary, Forte highlights certain parts of the interview in a way which struck me as quite relevant to neuroanthropology. Interestingly, Forte had a similarly positive reaction to Bloch’s statements, even though his Open Anthropology project is focused on a different sort of public engagement and synthetic approach than what we do here.
Here’s why, captured in one of the more striking lines from Bloch: “I would consider that all human beings are anthropologists: all are concerned with the general theoretical questions about the nature of human beings, about explanations of diversity and similarity. Of course I’m not worried about the continuation of this form of anthropology.”
What about anthropology in its present, institutional form? There, things are not so clear. Bloch makes this provocative statement, “anthropologists have not been addressing those questions that are burning questions for human beings. Other people have done it and have not made use of what anthropologists have learned… I think we should engage with the general questions that people are ask, rather than spending our time navel gazing.”
On the applied side, particularly with regards to development and anthropology, Bloch tells us that the anthropologists’ “role is one of caution. Because we have learned that easy answers don’t work. So we anthropologists will always have a negative role [in public debates] and I think that’s right.” In contrast, however, the development and conservation experts who come in with big money, big ideologies and big power do not necessarily want to hear the “it’s complicated” anthropology message.

In liver cirrhosis, the altered levels of vasoactive substances, especially endothelin-1 (ET-1) and nitric oxide (NO) lead to elevated intrahepatic resistance, increased portal-systemic collaterals and abnormal intra- and extra-hepatic vascular responsiveness. These derangements aggravate portal hypertension-related complications such as gastro-oesophageal variceal bleeding. Homocysteine, a substance implicated in cardiovascular diseases, has been found with influences on vasoresponsiveness and angiogenesis. However, their relevant effects in liver cirrhosis have not been investigated. In the present study, liver cirrhosis was induced by common bile duct ligation (BDL) in Sprague–Dawley rats. In acute study, the results showed that homocysteine enhanced hepatic vasoconstriction to ET-1 but decreased portal-systemic collateral vasocontractility to arginine vasopressin (AVP). Homocysteine down-regulated hepatic phosphorylated endothelial NO synthase (p-eNOS) and p-Akt protein expressions. Inducible NOS (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 expressions were up-regulated by homocysteine in splenorenal shunt (SRS), the most prominent intra-abdominal collateral vessel. In chronic study, BDL or thioacetamide (TAA) rats received homocysteine or vehicle for 14 days. The results revealed that homocysteine increased hepatic collagen fibre deposition and fibrotic factors expressions in both BDL- and TAA-induced liver fibrotic rats. Portal-systemic shunting and expressions of mesenteric angiogenetic factors [vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), PDGF receptor β (PDGFRβ) and p-eNOS] were also increased in BDL rats. In conclusion, homocysteine is harmful to vascular derangements and liver fibrosis in cirrhosis.

The vexed Sethusamudram project - which proposes to provide a navigable shipping channel across the Palk Straits between India and Sri Lanka - could see the light of day with the Centre set to clear an alternative route that avoids dredging through the Ram Setu.
Sources told HT that the Union cabinet will very shortly give its nod to the proposed new alignment, which will not damage the Ram Setu structure. The project, which would considerably reduce the time and distance travelled by ships between India’s west and East coast had led to acrimonious exchanges between the Congress and the BJP during the UPA-I regime over the proposal to dredge through the Ram Setu - a bridge believed to have been built by Lord Ram - considered a cultural and religious heritage. Environmentalists had also opposed the project on the ground that destruction of the bridge would lead to loss of a rich Thorium reserve in that area. The Supreme Court had in 2010 stayed further work on the project. “Once the cabinet clears the alternate route, an affidavit will be filed in the Supreme Court,” said a source.

Dallas, Texas (PressExposure) November 04, 2009 -- Competitive girls who want to improve their basketball skills with the hope of playing at the college level one day, will participate in a training camp and competition that will qualify them for a national event. The â2010 Lady Prodigy Basketball Regional Exposure Camps for Girlsâ have a limited number of openings for girls in 6th to 10th grade. Participants will spend two full days of training and competition against the best players in their region, according to Lady Prodigy Basketball CEO Reginald Grigsby. âThe 2010 Regional Camp Qualifiers were created to give players in the United States an opportunity to test their skills and game against the best players in their region,â said Grigsby.
The camps are highly recommended for competitive AAU girls basketball players who hope to qualify for an invitation to the prestigious 2010 National Lady Prodigy Basketball Camp held every July in Arlington, Texas. The only way to get to the national event is by attending their regional camp, according to Grigsby.
âAll players wanting an invitation to the National Lady Prodigy Basketball Camp must participate in their regional qualifier camp. Regional Camps will be held in Texas, Arkansas, Arizona, New York, California, Florida, New Jersey, South Carolina, and Washington. There are no exceptions,â he explained.
The Regional Camps will give each player a barometer of how they measure and rank with the top players in their region. The top players from each region will be selected to attend the National Camp.
âIf you have what it takes and want to be part of these exciting exposure girls basketball camps and showcases, then this camp is for you. If you think you have what it takes to compete with the top Jr. High School and High School Players in the nation, get on the roster for your local â2010 Lady Prodigy Regional Girls Basketball Exposure Camp. Itâs an Exposure Camp Phenomenon,â said Grigsby.
He warned that there are only 50 openings in each age group at each regional camp and the spaces are filled very quickly. The Regional camps are hosted only one time a year.

The Dallas Cowboys are planning to get the ball to Tavon Austin and utilize his skills much more than his previous team did.
After spending the first five seasons of his NFL career with the St. Louis/Los Angeles Rams, Austin was traded to the Cowboys last month for a sixth-round draft pick.
Buffalo released Williams in early September 2017 and he quickly signed with the Broncos practice squad. The Saints continued to keep an eye on Williams based on previous scouting and eventually signed Williams away from the Broncos practice squad leading to Week 11 of the 2017 season.
That’s one of the reasons why we went ahead and signed him to our active roster, Payton said. We thought he had real good vision and balance.
With half a regular season and the entire offseason to absorb the Saints ‘ scheme, Williams should be ready if called upon. And Thomas, who coached Williams at Arkansas, believes the running back’s skill set translates well within the offensive scheme.
“I would be surprised if we don’t make some progress on this play,” McKay said. “The changes that you are going to look at will have a positive impact.”
So kickoffs received a reprieve for 2018, but it is clear the changes will have to make the play safer for kickoffs to remain a part of the game long term.
Watkins showed promise in Years 1 and 2, registering around 1,000 yards in each, but foot problems hindered his lauded speed and change-of-direction suddenness and, with turnover at quarterback, he never carved out a defined role.
Owners will vote on several significant changes to the kickoff at their May meetings as the league seeks to make the play safer.
Competition committee chairman Rich McKay said the changes, which came largely at the recommendation of special teams coaches who participated in the league’s two-day safety summit, would make kickoffs “much more of a punt play,” Kevin Seifert of ESPN reports

Forex Trading Opportunities for the Week Ahead 12 August 2019
Note that this is my current view, but if market conditions change my view can change too. Generally I will trade in alignment with what I have noted here, though I will wait for a set-up before I enter. I base my view on technical and fundamental information. This is my beliefs and you are welcome to have opposite ones. Having a plan is more important than the actual direction for me.
- Wait DXY. – MT is sideways normal. The Dollar Index is now back to a sideways market type after it failed to successfully push through 0.98 resistance, thanks mostly to President Trump’s trade war with China which this week morphed into a currency war. The People’s Bank of China let the Us Dollar soar above the politically sensitive level of 7 vs the Chinese Yuan for the first time in over a decade, as a counter measure to soften the impact of Trump’s new tariffs. And that sparked the American President to call again on the Fed for more substantial rate cuts to bring the green back down and make it more competitive, while labelling China as a currency manipulator. The market now expects the Federal Reserve to cut 2 more times by the end of the year. We could see further headline driven losses in the US Dollar but as we head into the height of the northern hemisphere’s summer there might be a bit of a lull. This coming week we have some top-shelf macroeconomic data reports with CPI, Retail Sales and some Industrial updates which are worth watching as they may or may not support Trump’s call.
- Sell GBP/USD. – MT is bear normal. Can the Pound get any lower? It seems it can. The Sterling is in a bear market type in all timeframes, daily, weekly and monthly, as it approaches the important 1.200 psychological level. With the UK and European Parliament both in summer recess Brexit has been on the back burner but data has disappointed with the preliminary June quarter GDP coming in negative. The coming week is data-heavy with Employment, Inflation and Retail Sales reports. Watch for any miss on those.
- Sell USD/JPY. – MT is bear normal. The 105 support area and the January 3 flash crash low are likely to be tested sooner rather than later and a break below those levels would open the door to a test of much lower prices towards 100.
- Wait AUD/USD. – MT is bear normal. The Aussie last week ended a record long losing streak finding support at 0.67 just under the January flash-crash low. Here it formed a reversal pattern which is more likely than not to have some follow through in the coming days. It is therefore best to wait for the Aussie to pull back a little further before looking at selling again. The RBA, as expected, left rates on hold at 1% while June saw Australia posting the largest Trade Surplus on record. Iron Ore prices however have fallen sharply since the July peak, it will be interesting to see if that will be reflected in the July Trade Balance. In the coming week, data to pay attention to is on Consumer Sentiment, Wages Price Index and Employment.
- Wait EUR/USD. – MT is sideways normal. Over the past four sessions the Euro has been battling trying to push above resistance at 1.120 closing the week right on it. It’s worth keeping an eye on the pair this week, if prices start falling back we could see a move to retest the recent low toward 1.100. The political turmoil in Italy and data releases on German Economic Sentiment and GDP growth figures provide downside risk for the Euro.
- Wait NZD/USD.– MT is bear normal. The RBNZ has surprised the market in a big way by cutting rates by 50 basis point, despite solid Employment figures with unemployment reaching an eleven year low of 3.9%. It is becoming clear that the trade war is going to impact Chinese demand for New Zealand products, confirmed by a decline in dairy prices at the Global Dairy Trade Auction held on Tuesday. The Central Bank has therefore decided to take decisive pre-emptive action in the face of a deteriorating global outlook. The sharp fall following the release found support at 0.64 around last year’s low. If the Kiwi closes below that level we could see further downside toward the 2015 lows. However, the price action also suggests the possibility that the pair might have found a bottom at least for the time being.
- Sell USD/CHF. – MT is bear normal. The pair re-tested the 0.97 level and has remained contained below 0.98 over the past three sessions. A move lower from here at least toward 0.96 is the most likely scenario in the short term.
- Wait USD/CAD. – MT is bull normal. The Loonie found resistance at 1.33 with the Canadian Dollar supported by a recovery in oil prices in the latter part of the week. Employment data however was disappointing with unemployment ticking up to 5.7%. We would still prefer to be buyers but in the short-term lower prices are a possibility particularly if oil recovers further.
- Wait EUR/GBP. – MT is bull normal. Volatility has expanded considerably in the pair with the Euro closing the week at a level not touched since 2009 versus the British Pound. The move appears over extended, however the still unresolved Brexit issues make it difficult to take a contrarian bet on the Pound’s recovery at least until the chart prints a convincing reversal pattern.
- Sell EUR/CHF. – MT is bear normal.
- Wait AUD/JPY. – MT is bear normal.
- Wait NZD/JPY. – MT is bear fast.
- Sell GBP/JPY. – MT is bear normal.
- Sell EUR/JPY. – MT is bear normal.
- Wait CAD/JPY. – MT is bear normal.
- Wait CHF/JPY. – MT is bear normal.
- Sell GBP/NZD. – MT is bull normal. The Pound continues to be weak and the NZD might have found a bottom.
- Wait EUR/NZD. – MT is bull fast.
- Sell AUD/NZD. – MT is sideways normal.
- Sell EUR/AUD. – MT is bull normal. A reversal pattern has formed at long term resistance and AUD might have found a bottom.
- Sell GBP/AUD. – MT is sideways normal.
- Wait AUD/CAD. – MT is bear normal.
- Sell GBP/CAD. – MT is bear quiet.
- Wait EUR/CAD. – MT is bull normal.
- Sell NZD/CAD. – MT is bear normal.
- Sell GBP/CHF. – MT is bear normal.
- Wait CAD/CHF. – MT is bear normal.
- Sell NZD/CHF. – MT is bear fast.
- Wait AUD/CHF. – MT is bear normal.
- Buy Gold. – MT is bull normal.
- Wait Oil. – MT is bear normal.
- Wait S&P 500. – MT is bear normal.
- Sell DAX. – MT is bear normal.
- Sell Nikkei. – MT is bear normal.
- Wait T-Notes. – MT is bull normal.

Creating a sustainable business is like sculpting a human figure from a piece of stone. You begin with a large block, roughly the size and shape of the finished product. Maybe you sketch a few guidelines before you begin chipping away with a hammer and broad chisel.
In some areas you can chisel deep, while others take a finer touch. After a while, you begin to see the overall position of the body, but the details are still elusive. Every day, you come into your workshop and continue to coax life from an inanimate object.
Sculpting a business that makes you want to get out of bed each morning, takes time, focus, new skills, knowing when to push through and when to rest. It requires you to keep looking at your work from different angles, because it ‘s complex and multi-dimensional. You’ll eventually switch out rough instruments for finer chisels and files. Now it’s finally beginning to look like something!
This is how I view business, as a creative, always changing, intuitive masterpiece. And it’s a marathon, not a sprint, regardless of how many shiny Facebook ads promise you to help you make 6-figures in three months. Hey, no shame, at the beginning I watched countless webinars seeking one magical answer to make my company an overnight success. If that happens, bless you. The entrepreneurs I respect and follow have been at it for quite a while and I’m in it for the long-term.
What’s so great about running your own business? Setting the tone and culture for everything about your company. If you don’t like the way things are going, have a quick sit-down with yourself, make some changes and pivot.
Excited to create your own entrepreneurial masterpiece?

Great Taste, the world’s most coveted blind-tasted food awards, which celebrates the very best in food and drink, has announced the Great Taste stars of 2016.
Out of 10,000 products to be judged, Amhuinnsuidhe Castle Estate was awarded a 3-star Great Taste award for its saddle of venison.
The wild red deer venison from the hills of Harris and South Lewis proved a big hit with the judges, who described it as ‘really delicate, moist and tender with a fine texture, delicious flavour with gentle gaminess.’
Judged by over 500 of the most demanding palates, belonging to food critics, chefs, cooks, restaurateurs and producers as well as a whole host of food writers and journalists, Great Taste is widely acknowledged as the most respected food accreditation scheme.
“ We, at Amhuinnsuidhe, have enjoyed working alongside some of the best producers to fill our exclusive hampers and to stock our own estate shop with quality gourmet delights. In doing so, we noticed the importance and emphasis on Great Taste products and decided to try our luck with our own favourite!
“Knowing our venison has a great story, an ethical background and is simply delicious we thought it was time to introduce it to the outside world.
“We are delighted to know that it’s not just local residents who appreciate it’s flavour and texture, and hope that this award will lead to a piece of our pristine wilderness being enjoyed on plates further afield,” explains Cristina Morrison, Associate Director.

Kanye West is said to be in the process of installing a state of the art health facility at his Bel Air mansion.
Kanye West has reportedly splashed out on a hi-tech health suite.
The Yeezus rapper is putting his family’s wellbeing top of his priority list, and is said to be installing a state of the art screening room at his Bel Air pad, which is still undergoing renovations.
Wife Kim Kardashian, and baby daughter North, one, will be protected from any medical threats with a team of on-call doctors.
“The special suite will include an X-ray machine, CT scanner, ultrasound and blood-taking facilities," a family friend confided to British newspaper Daily Star.
“Other celebrities such as Madonna have taken similar measures in the past, but not on such a grand and costly scale."
Kanye, 37, has spoken openly about his battles with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder in the past, and even credits the mental health condition with fuelling his career and his need to succeed.
The team of health experts working for the superstar couple will reportedly be on hand to check them over, should the stars need it.“The facilities will enable the family to monitor their sugar levels, cholesterol and blood pressure.
“They will also have a team of private doctors around the clock, daily visits from top nurses and a full paediatric team for North," the source said.
The insider added that while 33-year-old Kim doesn’t totally agree with the addition to their new home, she’s happy for Kanye to build it if it’s what he wants.
“Kim believes it’s paranoid and a bit unnecessary. But she figures it can’t do any harm, and he might prove to be right one day,” the source divulged.

Allergy UK has recently conducted its own investigations using a typical Christmas basket to identify how costs on a widely enjoyed meal by millions in the UK compare for those with food allergies compared to those without. The findings revealed a clear ‘allergy penalty’ that is being paid by those who need to enjoy free-from foods this Christmas.
A comparison of Christmas favourites for example, revealed that favourites such asfree-from mince pies (four pack) cost up to 138% more than their standard ingredient equivalents. In fact, an analysis of a shopping basket of nine foods commonly found at Christmas dinner tables were on average 157% more for free-from alternatives than the standard offerings.
This means that in the current cost of living climate, for people with food allergies, staple foods and luxury Christmas items are now becoming increasingly difficult to afford for families living with food allergies. These staple food alternatives are essential to the diet of people with food allergies to help normal healthy development and prevent nutritional deficiencies.
It is a sad reality for many households with food allergies, that there simply is a financial – and a convenience – penalty which has to be paid, simply to be able to access foods which are safe to eat. This year it will be felt even more keenly with the cost-of-living crisis. For these families and individuals there isn’t a lower price point alternative for free-from foods and current labelling practices significantly reduce the choices available to these people even more. It’s a case of pay up or miss out on the favourite festive treats this year. This is why we are calling for labelling practices to be revised, especially with the cost-of-living crisis making free-from foods increasingly prohibitive. – Carla Jones, CEO of Allergy UK
The findings from Allergy UK’s research echo those published in a report by the Food Standard Agency recently. Entitled, ‘Estimating Financial Cost To Individuals With A Food Hypersensitivity’ the study shows that adults with food hypersensitivities, regardless of their specific food hypersensitivity condition, face an increased financial burden compared to those without, with an average household spend being 12% – 27% more on weekly food purchases for those living with a condition. In addition, FSA research found that just over 40 days a year are spent on food hypersensitivity related activities such as researching, shopping for suitable items and discussing their condition.
The study looked at households with food intolerances, coeliac disease and food allergies. Within the group of people who participated in the study, those with food allergies face the highest overall burden. Specifically, those with food allergies will typically spend 11% more on eating out than someone with coeliac disease and their medical costs are 1.6 to 2.5 times more than someone with a food intolerance or coeliac disease. In addition to the financial burden the report also highlights the burdens that cannot be monetised but need to be recognised. These include the social isolation, anxiety and depression that can also impact those living with food allergies.
There are things which can be done to help support families struggling with food allergies this festive season, and all year round. These include donating free-from foods to local food bank collections, so people with food allergies don’t go without. Items such as free-from foods, plant based UHT milks or wheat-free pasta and flour products are all welcome donations. With the cost of living crisis, set to be a backdrop to our daily lives for the foreseeable future, it is yet another reason why we believe at Allergy UK that it’s time to take allergy seriously.

Electric scooters are ugly ducklings looking for their mother.
They’re only allowed on sidewalks — for now — but are too fast to belong there. Machines moving 15 to 20 mph don’t mix well with strolling humans. When the scooters aren’t scooting, they sometimes block people’s path, particularly Denverites with mobility impairments.
Since scooters dropped in the end of July, Denver Public Works has received 74 complaints about scooters blocking sidewalks, according to spokeswoman Heather Burke.
Denver’s Bird, Lime Spin and Razor scooters fit fine on streets with or without bike lanes, city staffers say, but the law (for now) says they don’t belong there, either.
So you have this tool, that moves people in one very specific way, trying to exist on a transportation grid built for moving people in two other ways — driving and (to a lesser extent) walking.
“I don’t think that you can argue that the streets were designed for Lime scooters,” said Nicholas Williams, deputy chief of staff for Denver Public Works, in an interview Tuesday.
Williams had just presented new scooter rules to the Denver City Council’s Land Use and Transportation Committee, which voted unanimously to advance the bill to the full council. City Councilwoman Mary Beth Susman and City Councilman Paul Kashmann sponsored the rule change, which will work best if the streets change with them, some elected officials said.
The scooter decree sayeth:
- Scooter riders must operate in a bike lane, but not any faster than 15 mph.
- If there’s no bike lane, you can scoot in the street, on the right side — if the speed limit is 30 mph or lower.
- If there’s no bike lane or the street is too speedy, hop on the sidewalk but keep the speed to 6 mph or less.
“I think getting them off the sidewalks just seems like a no-brainer, but what this whole process has kind of shone a light on is how much work we have to do to provide safe passage for bicycles and scooters and anything other than private autos around the city,” Kashman said. “So hopefully this disruptive technology will have a silver lining along the way.”
Scooters did not start the city’s transportation woes.
“I wish we got this much attention on the fact that people are dying in car crashes every single week in Denver,” said Jill Locantore, executive director of pedestrian advocacy group WalkDenver.
Susman has advocated for more and wider bike lanes (she calls them “mobility lanes”). On Tuesday, City Council members Rafael Espinoza and Albus Brooks made clear their desire to repurpose on-street parking spots for other uses as well.
“There’s give and take — there’s decisions we have to make here — so you’ve got to have the serious conversation,” Brooks said. “So I’m letting my constituents know there will be parking coming up for bike lanes, so we can have multimodal access.”
Mayor Michael Hancock “has to be serious” about his commitment to 125 miles of new bike lanes in five years, Brooks added.
Espinoza brought a rendering of an on-street scooter corral, which he said would cut down on scooters blocking people’s path. Plus one less parked car would “daylight” dangerous intersections, he said.
“This opportunity to introduce scooters into neighborhoods and not just relegate them to bus stops and things like that is a win-win opportunity,” Espinoza said. “We would maybe institute a fee for these companies where we would visibly daylight intersections where people could store (scooters) out of the pedestrian pathway.”
Safe streets advocates like the rules in general but recommended that scooter riders not be forced to ride in bike lanes.
Piep van Heuven, Bicycle Colorado’s Denver director, asked City Council members to make some changes to the nascent rules.
“The network of lanes is still in its infancy and frankly may not be prepared for demand,” she wrote in an email to city council members. “Restrictions here are likely to create unanticipated safety consequences. What this all comes back to is the fact that our streets are unsafe, but limiting the operation of new devices and penalizing users only reinforces the status quo. Denver policy should prioritize the directions we are working to move toward, rather than re-enforce existing norms and road conditions.
Van Heuven also wants the city to create a singular definition for all electric mobility devices, like electric skateboards and one-wheels, she said.

In-Situ is an arts organization based in Pendle, Lancashire that supports art as a part of daily life. In 2013 In-Situ invited Amy to make work in response to the culture, history and communities of the town of Brierfield.
Amy created ‘The Drawing Shop’ in Brierfield Library – a drop-in, temporary space which invited anyone to join in. “The Drawing Shop believes anyone can draw,” read a sign above the installation; “it is a space for trying, learning and having fun.” The Drawing Shop proved popular, particularly amongst young people, who produced poems as well as pictures to be displayed on its makeshift gallery walls.
Amy also spent time in the local working men’s club. Here, she met 81year old Margaret, who spoke about her memories of the town. Together, Amy and Margaret made a film which shows Margaret speaking alongside archival footage of Brierfield, projected onto an empty book in her hands.
Finally, Amy worked with a local TV shop to create an installation of archival footage of Brierfield. The footage was drawn from local community groups, In-Situ’s archive, and newly sourced material about Northern Soul. This installation remained in the shop window for seven days, presenting a moving reflection of the town to people passing through.
Working across public, private and commercial realms, Amy’s residency grew out of a series of personal connections with the people of Brierfield. Her use of unconventional materials, techniques and sites translated every day experiences into creative acts, and suggested art as a communal, public activity, particularly in relationship to shopping. Despite its name, for example, The Drawing Shop fostered relationships instead of consumer transactions. Meanwhile, the installation in the TV shop window created a space for time, history and memory to co-exist with the promised futures of technology.
Most importantly, Amy worked in collaboration with the people she met in Brierfield. The Drawing Shop participants, Margaret from the working men’s club, and the owner of the TV shop are all co-creators in Amy’s work, which is as much about the nature of their individual relationships as it is about the town as a whole.

The number of people practicing veganism is on the rise. According to a 2017 report, six percent of American consumers now identify as vegan.
As more people make the switch to practicing a vegan lifestyle, the demand for delicious and healthy vegan recipes is growing. Just because you eat vegan doesn’t mean that you want to be stuck with the same meals over and over.
Trying to find creative vegan lunch ideas can be especially difficult during the week. You want something that’s easy to assemble and portable to take to work, but also something that is filling and delicious.
Planning ahead makes a difference when it comes to vegan lunches, and it helps to have a few great recipes to rely on.
Below, we’re sharing nine easy vegan lunch ideas so that you can have healthy and delicious meals all through the work week.
1. Do all of Your Prep Work on Sunday
We’re all so busy during the week, which makes our weekend time more precious than ever. Take some time on Sunday to do meal prep, and you’ll feel more ready for the week ahead.
Start by gathering all the ingredients you’ll need to make your vegan lunch ideas a reality. Before you go to the store, make a detailed shopping list of your favorite vegan items, like fruits, vegetables, grains and beans, and condiments.
You should also spend time on Sunday getting certain ingredients ready for use throughout the week. For example, if you make plenty of beans or grains then you can store them in individual portions and have them ready to grab and go.
Cleaning and shopping fruits and vegetables before storing them is also a great way to save time during the week, so plan to do that on Sunday as soon as you get home from your grocery store.
2. Make Spiralized Vegetable Noodle Salads
One of our favorite vegan lunch ideas is to make a variety of different “noodle” salads, where spiralized vegetables stand in for the noodles.
This is both a great way to eat vegetables and a healthier way to enjoy the same flavors of your favorite vegan pasta dishes.
To build a spiralized vegetable noodle salad, start by preparing your vegetables. Zucchini is a popular substitute for traditional noodles, but spaghetti squash and sweet potatoes work as well.
Once you have your base of vegetable noodles, you can build flavor with a sauce or other toppings.
Go Greek-inspired by adding sun-dried tomatoes, kalamata olives, and a red onion. Or give your dish an Asian flair with a dressing made from peanut butter, soy sauce, and sesame oil.
The best thing about vegetable noodle salads is that they get better the longer they sit because the flavors have a chance to marry together. You can make them over the weekend for the night before work, and then have a healthy and delicious lunch to grab in the morning.
3. Create Your Own Grain Bowl
Similar to a vegetable noodle salad, a grain bowl is one of the easiest and most delicious vegan lunch ideas. You can prep it beforehand, and have it ready to go at any time throughout the week.
Grain bowls are especially easy if you’ve made a big batch of your base – like quinoa, brown rice or couscous – over the weekend or at night.
Making the grains is the most consuming part of assembling the bowl, so once that’s done, the rest is easy. Choose your favorite vegetables and vegan proteins to mix in. You’ll end with a filling meal that will give you the energy you need to make it through the rest of your workday.
4. Try a Vegan Version of Your Favorite Sandwich
Going vegan shouldn’t – and doesn’t have to – mean giving up on all of your favorite comfort foods. There are lots of ways to incorporate the flavors you love into vegan sandwiches that make for perfect lunches. Here are a few favorites:
- Buffalo Chickpea Wrap: It makes for a great vegan alternative to a more traditional non-vegan staple, and it can satisfy any craving you might have for tangy, vinegary buffalo sauce.
- White bean and avocado salad sandwich: This sandwich filling is easy to assemble with a can of white beans and creamy avocado slices. Add bean sprouts or red onion for crunch and texture.
- Veggie hummus wrap: Creamy hummus and crunchy vegetables are a perfect match for a quick lunch wrap. Try differently flavored hummuses – such as red pepper or roasted garlic – to switch things up.
5. Mason Jar Salads
You’ve probably noticed that mason jars have skyrocketed in popularity over the past couple of years. Trendy or not, what we love about them is that they are a convenient way to build and pack a salad and are one of our favorite vegan lunch ideas for busy days.
A great vegan mason jar salad is all about the layering. That helps all the individual salad elements maintain their structure and texture until you’re ready to eat.
Start with your dressing on the very bottom of the mason jar, and add from there. Crisp veggies like cucumbers, red onion, or peppers make for a good second layer because they won’t get soggy.
From there, you can use your imagination when it comes to adding beans, grains, and greens. You do want to make sure that any greens you decide to add are the very top layer, so they won’t come in contact with the dressing too soon.
When you’re ready to eat, shake up the jar with the lid on so the ingredients get all mixed together.
6. Get Familiar with Vegan Protein Sources
Including protein in your lunch meal is especially important because protein is what keeps you feeling full and satisfied. When you eat enough protein with lunch, you won’t be tempted to snack on unsatisfying and unhealthy foods later.
There’s a common misconception that vegans have a hard time getting enough protein, but that doesn’t have to be the case.
If you are aware of the best vegan sources of protein, you’ll find that it’s easy to incorporate protein into your meals:
- Tofu: 10 grams of protein per cup
- Peanut butter: 8 grams of protein per two tablespoons
- Chickpeas: 8 grams of protein per half cup
- Tempeh: 12 grams of protein per cup
- Hemp seeds: 13 grams of protein per cup
Get inspired to come up with vegan lunch ideas by picking your protein first and building from there. You’ll get a satisfying meal and may even find a new flavor combination you love.
7. Try a Vegan Subscription Box
As much as we aspire to prep and put together five separate work-ready vegan lunches every week, there are times when it just can’t happen.
Vegan subscription boxes are one of our favorite vegan lunch ideas to turn to in a pinch. There are a variety of options out there, but we love the idea of being sent vegan snacks that are delicious and portable.
It may not be as satisfying as making lunch from scratch for yourself, but it’s nice to have a variety of vegan snacks to get you through the busiest days of your work week.
8. Have Strategies for Eating Out
Grabbing lunch with co-workers is an important ritual. It gives you an excuse to get outside and can be a way to decompress and relax for an hour with the people in your office.
You shouldn’t have to pass up on lunchtime invitations just because you’re vegan and your co-workers aren’t. A few strategies for eating vegan at any restaurant:
- Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Anyone who works at a restaurant should be well-informed about the menu and can help guide you to vegan choices.
- If possible, call ahead or look online to form a game plan for ordering once you get there.
- Sides are more likely to be vegan than main courses, so order two or three to make a complete meal.
If you truly can’t find anything to order, you can still join your co-workers for the social aspect of the meal, and eat your own vegan lunch later. Explain the situation to them so they don’t feel awkward, and everyone can have a good time escaping the office for a bit.
9. Don’t Forget About Dessert!
If you think desserts without eggs or dairy can’t possibly be good, think again! Vegans have a sweet tooth too, and there are lots of delicious vegan desserts that can satisfy a sugar craving and be a great workday pick-me-up.
Fruit makes for a great base for vegan desserts, and once you get comfortable with popular vegan baking substitutions, you’ll be whipping up your favorite treats in no time!
Ready to Try These Vegan Lunch Ideas?
Adopting a vegan diet is a commitment. It isn’t always easy, but it should always be delicious. These tips and vegan lunch ideas can help you prepare for the work week so that you can cut down on prep time and have great grab-and-go options.

Research into potential heart attack test part of 'Pint of Science' festival
Members of the public can hear University of Bradford academics talk about the latest in cutting edge science, including Dr Kirsten Riches-Suman whose expertise is on blood vessels and what causes them to prematurely age.
One aspect of the research is looking at the links between major blood vessels of the heart and smaller blood vessels in the skin to see if they share common signatures.
Dr Riches-Suman, pictured above, said: “If there are common signatures, that means we could detect the condition of the major blood vessels by using a small ‘punch’ biopsy from the skin on a person’s hand, which could be carried out by a GP or in a clinic.
“In the future, it could be part of routine screening on people, say, over 40 years old and develop personalised medicine for vascular disease.
“The ultimate aim is to save lives.”
Tickets for the talks, to be held at BrewDog, Cafe Liza and Theatre in the Mill, cost £5.
- 'The healthy fat that makes you thin,' with Dr Gisela Helfer
- 'Should cash be abolished? If so, what comes next?' with Dr Rashmi Arora
- 'A hair-raising adventure,' with Dr David Ansell
- Blood vessels: Ageing, disease and repair,' with Dr Kirsten Riches-Suman
- 'Does how you live determine whether you get dementia?' with Dr Ritchie Williamson
Organiser Dr Ritchie Williamson, Director of Research - Life Course, University of Bradford, said: "Pint of Science makes science accessible. Everyone is welcome to come along and listen to engaging talks by leading researchers over a cup of tea or a pint of beer.
"We've got some fantastic talks this year, ranging from whether we should abolish cash to how pollution affects the heart, all delivered in a really easy to understand and engaging way. You don't need to be a scientist to come, you just need to be interested in topics that affect our everyday lives."

Experts claim that since fashion is a lens that helps us better understand our society, army tops and jackets play a comforting role, as fashionistas are worried about where the world is heading. Regardless of your opinion on world politics, I recommend checking out this latest trend anyway, as a military wardrobe does make you feel more powerful.

THQ has announced the signing of two very famous and considerably bonkers film stars for its new Wii game.
Dennis Hopper and Billy Bob Thornton have both agreed to provide voices for Deadly Creatures, which is out in February. It's a third-person action adventure in which you control a scorpion and a tarantula, fighting lizards, black widows and the like.
"What surprised me about Deadly Creatures is how it looks like watching a movie," said Billy Bob Thornton about the Wii exclusive. "The scorpion and tarantula are like two actors meeting up for a gun fight."
"Gamers are really going to love Deadly Creatures," added Dennis Hopper, apparently. Of course, he knows just what gamers love, having appeared in the Super Mario Bros. movie. Last month Hopper admitted he only took the job to buy his son shoes. Presumably they've worn out.
