BMT Unveils New Hybrid Eco Ferry Design
BMT has launched a new hybrid ferry design believed that it could pave the way for a cleaner, more cost-efficient energy option for ferry operators.
At 31 meters, the 149-passenger Eco Ferry has a top speed of 20 knots and offers an intelligent hybrid system delivering “smooth, silent and vibration-free power.”
“Greener ferry systems have to be the future and we’re extremely excited to be launching this new hybrid design,” John Bonafoux, Managing Director at BMT said.
“In our recent case study of an example river commute in New York, the Eco Ferry engines are completely off for 63% of the time. That’s a huge saving on fuel consumption and emissions, not to mention engine hours and maintenance,” Bonafoux explained.
Working in collaboration with BAE Systems, the Eco Ferry uses the Hybrid-Drive system. When the upper end of power is needed, the diesel engines are there to support, keeping the batteries topped up at the same time. The vessel’s 160kWh energy storage system can also be further charged whilst alongside and by a solar array on the vessel roof, according to the company.
“It’s an all-round, nicer experience for passengers. The Eco-ferry glides in and out of dock silently and smoke free, completely under electric power. No longer will there be noise and diesel fumes at the dock as passengers embark and disembark,” Bonafoux added.

ASUNCION (Reuters) - Political newcomer Horacio Cartes led the latest opinion poll ahead of Paraguay's April 21 presidential election, in which he hopes to bring the business-friendly Colorado Party back to power after four years on the sidelines.
Cartes, a 56-year-old millionaire, got 37.6 percent support versus 31.7 percent garnered by 50-year-old lawyer Efrain Alegre of the ruling Liberal Party, according to the survey of 1,846 voters by polling firm First Analysis and Research.
The center-right Liberal Party took over the presidency in June when Congress impeached left-leaning President Fernando Lugo, a former Roman Catholic bishop.
The platforms of Cartes and Alegre are similar. Well to the political right of former leader Lugo, both top candidates offer business-friendly policies and support the use of genetically modified soybean seeds to promote Paraguay's key farm sector.
One of South America's poorest countries, Paraguay is the world's No. 4 soybean exporter. It was ruled by the Colorado Party for six decades until Lugo broke its lock on power in 2008.
Polling in third place with 10.9 percent of voter support is local TV host Mario Ferreiro, who is leading the Avanza Pais coalition of leftist parties.
The survey had a margin of error of 2.9 percent and was published on Friday in newspaper ABC Color.

Victoria Beckham’s new short blonde crop seems to have set off a wave of new pixie dos, and not just with the girls — husband David Beckham appears to be the latest copycat. The fabulous couple stepped out last night at the 2007 Sport Industry Awards in London with almost perfectly matched short, asymetrical blond hair. We love that these two take such care with their appearance, but we’re guessing most couples wouldn’t go to such (short) lengths to be in sync with each other. Tell us: Would you match your cut and color to your spouse? Would you want them to match to you?

The rise of Christianity in Ancient Rome was an unexpected event that took place in the first few centuries of the common era. It was the new religion’s ability to stand up against the Roman power, and reach its people that made it so successful. While Rome had many other beliefs in its population, Christianity was the only religion to truly make a serious impact. From its humble beginnings, Christianity rapidly grew from an underground faith to being the official religion of the Roman Empire under Emperor Constantine in the fourth century.
The main source of Christianity’s success lies in its ability to make a strong connection with the Roman people. Rather than being viewed as an alien belief, Christianity was seen as an extension of the Roman faith, offering a new and personal relationship with their God that was both comforting and powerful. For the common people, it provided stability and assurance in a time of chaos and troubled economic times. Additionally, the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth resonated with Romans, and his messages of love and mercy found a home within the Empire.
A great example of how Christianity quickly established a foothold in the Roman Empire can be seen through the writings of St. Paul. His letters to the churches of the Roman Empire were some of the earliest Christian texts we have, and it was his mission to bring the new faith to the people of the empire. Within a few decades, Christianity had made its way from being an obscure sect to a powerful religion in its own right.
To this day, the rise of Christianity in Ancient Rome remains a watershed moment in world history, and it is seen as the moment when the faith truly established itself as a world religion. The impact of the Roman Empire in spreading Christianity can be thought of as a turning point in human history. Christianity, in its various forms, has become one of the world’s leading religions, and the early roots of its growth and acceptance can be found in Rome.
The Spread of Christianity Across the Roman Empire
The spread of Christianity across the Roman Empire was a lengthy process that extended over centuries. From its roots in the Middle East and North Africa, the word and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth began to spread into other areas as Roman power expanded. Eventually, as Roman governance took hold, Christianity followed with it, becoming a part of the established order within the Empire.
By the fourth century, Christianity had made serious inroads in the Empire, with the new religion being tolerated by Roman leaders and gaining a significant following.The rise of Emperor Constantine to the imperial throne was a major tipping point in the history of Christianity. His Edict of Milan in 312 AD declared Christianity to be a legal religion in the Empire, and it ushered in a period of great growth for the new faith.
The next few centuries saw Christianity continue to spread throughout the Roman world, and it cemented its place as a major force in the culture and faith of the Empire. This period would also be one of great growth for different Christian sects and dogmas, allowing Christianity to become the religion that we know today.
The Long-Term Impact of Christianity in the Roman Empire
The long-term impact of Christianity in the Roman Empire was far-reaching and profound. It had a deep influence on the culture and beliefs of the Roman world and was the dominant faith for centuries. In fact, the influence of this faith can still be seen in many aspects of life and culture today. Christianity helped to form the moral and ethical foundations of the modern world and provided a basis of understanding that continues to shape society today.
Christianity also had a deep impact on Roman government and politics. Religious and civil laws were largely based on Christian morality and the church had deep influence in important political decisions. This had an effect on the subsequent cultures and civilisations that arose out of the former Roman Empire.
At the same time, the rise of Christianity in Ancient Rome meant that the people of the Empire were no longer held to one particular religious belief. It opened the door for other faiths to arise, and to be accepted, making Rome a much more open and inclusive society than it had been before.
Persecution of Christianity in Ancient Rome
Persecution of Christianity in Ancient Rome was a part of the story, though it was not as common as some may believe. While the Roman Empire was often hostile to those of different faiths, there was a period of tolerance for Christianity, with the faith being granted a degree of respect from Roman rulers.
At times, pressure from both outside forces and within led to some persecution of Christians. This began most significantly with Emperor Nero in 64 AD, when Christians were blamed for a devastating fire that hit Rome. In later years, more extreme persecution involved the Roman emperor Diocletian and his attempt to revive Paganism as the official religion of the Empire. However, his attempts were not successful, and Christianity continued to increase in popularity across the Empire.
The Legacy of Christianity in Ancient Rome
The legacy of Christianity in Ancient Rome is one of both progress and perseverance. Its rapid growth and ultimate success in the Roman Empire is remarkable, and it is a testament to the faith’s strength and determination. Christianity provided a deep sense of comfort and hope for the people of the Roman Empire and its influence can still be felt in many aspects of the world today.
It also played a major part in the eventual downfall of the Roman Empire itself, with Christianity providing an alternative spiritual answer to the political structure of the Empire. The spread of the religion provided the people with an alternative power structure, one that was based on faith rather than violence and domination.
The legacy of Christianity in Ancient Rome is one that has seen its impact throughout history, and it can still be seen in many aspects of modern life. It provided a foundation of faith that permeates many of the world’s societies, and its teachings have guided and shaped the way we understand the world today.
The Influence of Other Religions on Christianity in Rome
While Christianity was clearly the dominant belief in Ancient Rome, it had a deep influence on other faiths, and vice versa. Other religions, such as Judaism and Paganism, had a lasting influence on Christianity, as certain aspects of their beliefs were assimilated and incorporated into the new faith.
At the same time, Christianity also had an influence on other beliefs in the Roman Empire. Pagan practices, for example, were changed and adapted over time, with some aspects being adopted by followers of the new religion. Other religions also adapted and borrowed from the teachings of Christianity, allowing them to remain relevant in a changing world.
The influence of other religions on Christianity in Ancient Rome is an important part of the history of the faith, and it is a reminder of how interconnected the various belief systems were in the Roman world. It is a testament to the strength and power of the faith, and its ability to accept and be influenced by outside sources.
Conclusion of the Rise of Christianity in Ancient Rome
The rise of Christianity in Ancient Rome is one of the most captivating and impactful moments in all of human history. This period of Christian expansion saw the faith go from being an obscure and underground sect to being the official religion of the most powerful Empire in the world. Its influence has been felt for centuries, and its legacy can still be seen in many aspects of the modern world.
At the same time, the story of Christianity in Ancient Rome is one of adaptation and growth. It was accompanied by other faiths, some of which had a deep influence on the new religion, while the faith of Christianity also influenced other beliefs in the Roman world. This interplay between different beliefs is an important part of the history of Christianity and a reminder of the interconnectedness of belief systems.

An alarming number of Redwood High School students have easy access to marijuana it seems.
Corte Madera Vice Mayor Bob Ravasio reported during Tuesdsay night's Town Council meeting that a survey found 40 percent of juniors at Redwood have used marijuana within the past 30 days.
"That is much higher than the state average. That is higher than the national average," Ravasio said of the findings from the 2009 California Healthy Kids survey.
Police could not say for sure how the students are getting the drugs, but suggested they could be getting it from friends or relatives who are clients of the dispensaries.
That news was revealed after the Town Council voted unanimously to extend for one year a moratorium against any new medical marijuana dispensaries opening in Corte Madera. Marin Holistic Solutions, located in the Tamal Plaza office park, is the only medical marijauna dispensary currently in Corte Madera.
TCPD Sergeant Hamid Khalili confirmed "A majority of the kids we encounter who claim to be in possession of medicinal marijuana are getting it from local dispensaries."
"With all of the juvenile marijuana incidents we’ve had from Jan. 1 through Sept. 30, 2011 (44), there have only been three incidents where dispensary containers were discovered. It may be true that they are getting the (marijuana) from friends/relatives that are dispensary clients," TCPD Chief Todd Cusimano clarified in an e-mail. "However, studies have shown that prices for (marijuana) in the dispensaries and illicit (marijuana) on the street are relatively comparable. If someone is buying it at the dispensary and then reselling it, trying to turn a profit, they would have to sell it for an even higher price than the dealers are selling it at… In our opinion, (that is) not as likely."
The dispensary and Twin Cities Police are working together to identify members who might misuse prescriptions by tracking bottles issued by the dispensary, according to Scott Candell, attorney for Marin Holistic Solutions. Candell says the dispensary operates much like a convential pharmacy, with an employee to help patients find the right product for their illness.
Candell reports that only once in the collective's history has a prescription bottle from Marin Holistic been found in the possession of a teenager. "In that case, we tracked the bottle to the patient who was given the medicine and that patient's membership was immediately terminated," Candell reported.
According to Candell, the dispensary does not allow drug use on the premises or within 500 feet of the office.
Cusimano says the TCPD has a good relationship with the collective. "At this time, Marin Holistic Solutions has done everything we (police) have asked of them and they have been very responsive to any of our concerns," he said.
Cusimano agrees the numbers of teen drug and alcohol use in the area is a serious concern, but also one that can be difficult to control.
"Per SB420, the dispensaries are supposed to sell (marijuana) only to persons with county issued cards, issued through the Health and Human Services Department. And they are also only supposed to sell to persons that live within the county they are located in," Cusimano wrote. "However, it’s been proven many times that (despite the fact they are supposed to (be) “collectives” and “non-profit”) that they will sell to anyone who has the cash… (with whatever appropriate documentation they require, usually just the doctor’s recommendation.)"
"They're not going about it the right way. They're not getting the County Department of Health marijuana cards" Khalili said. "You can go online, pay some amount and get a (fake) doctor's note and they take that to the dispensary and the dispensary gives them medicinal marijuana."
Despite recent actions against dispensaries and growers from the Federal government, Candell says there has been no pressure brought on Marin Holistic, according to Candell. There has been no action against Marin Holistic since a 2010 settlement with the Town in which the dispensary agreed it would not take on any new clients under age 21. Previously, the dispensary restricted membership to clients ages 18 and older.

The Edmond Public Schools District has been on an A and B learning model since they started back to school. That means that half of the students come to school on Monday and Tuesday. Everyone is virtual on Wednesday and then the other half of the kids go to school on Thursday and Friday.
Wednesday morning dozens of parents showed up early to the district administration building to peacefully rally to do away with the A and B model to allow their kids to go back to the classroom five days a week.
“We want the five days,” said Chris Thiessen. “We believe in our teachers and we support them. We don’t want to just complain but we want to be a part of the solution.”
Parents in the crowd all shared similar stories of how their kids have struggled to learn at home.
“At any given point there are tears,” said Anna Tew. “I have been so patient, and they aren't in trouble. But, for my one kid she is a perfectionist and if she has any mistake and you’re trying to help her - she just starts crying and once those tears start, they don't stop."
Even the kids voiced their stresses and hopes to go back to school to see their friends and learn.
The district responded to the rally, sending News 9 a statement saying:
"The district remains engaged in ongoing discussions with board members about how and when to safely reopen five days a week."
But right now, a meeting isn't planned to discuss or vote on the issue. Parents said they will be rallying every Wednesday morning until they feel their voices are heard or see some change.

Damsel in distress
Hollywood beauty Nicole Kidman says her new psychological thriller Trespass left her emotionally disturbed.hollywood Updated: Nov 04, 2010 00:40 IST
Hollywood beauty Nicole Kidman says her new psychological thriller Trespass left her emotionally disturbed.
The Moulin Rouge star, who will be seen sharing screen space with the veteran actor Nicolas Cage in the film, cried out because of the story, which traces the story of a wealthy husband and wife who find their home encroached by strangers, Contactmusic reported.
Meanwhile, the movie’s director Joel Schumacher insisted that the film, slated for a next year release, creates panic on people’s mind about strangers entering their house.
“I think that’s probably most of our fears, that, in the middle of the night, you’re going to wake up and there’s somebody in your house. We’ve seen it in all the news stories and it’s a question of why are these people breaking in on this night and how did they know to do this,” said Schumacher.

Resurrecting details from a long-ago family hike
July 1, 2018
While looking for something else, I recently came across a photo that instantly brought back many good memories. In the photo, my Dad, my three siblings and I are standing by the Resurrection Pass signpost during the last family hike I participated in.
In July 1972 we hiked the Resurrection Trail along with family friends Charles and Jimmie King. The trail was 36 or 38 miles long, depending on which sign post you believed. We started in Hope on a Friday evening and ended near Cooper Landing on Sunday at noon. We couldn’t dawdle because one of my sisters had to register for her music camp in Wasilla by Sunday evening. Mom didn’t hike, but went along for logistic support as well as to visit several friends in the area.
My family drove from Glennallen, while the Kings left from Anchorage after they got off work, and we all planned to meet in Hope around 6:30 p.m. The Kings were packed and ready to set off upon arrival. But our family had thrown all the needed gear and food into our vehicle and everything still had to be sorted and packed into the backpacks while we ate our picnic supper. After we changed our foot gear, Mom made us kids each drink a glass of milk before setting off and gave us each a small piece of paper on which she’d written a scripture verse. By this time, it was almost 8 p.m.
Jimmie had reserved cabins for our two nights on the trail, but with that late start, she was concerned that we wouldn’t have enough time to hike the seven miles to sleep in the first cabin. Sure enough, she was right. After a couple of hours and with no tents, the Kings spread a tarp between two downed logs and Dad tied a tarp among some trees under which only four sleeping bags fit, creating a rather primitive campsite. Saturday morning breakfast was cooked on a campfire. Each family brought what food they needed, but we shared some items, too, such as the popcorn Dad brought.
Although that first evening was misty and damp, we had good weather the rest of the weekend. Saturday and Sunday we enjoyed beautiful views of Juneau Lake and Juneau Falls and noticed a large pollinating spruce tree, the ruins of an old cabin and fresh bear tracks. We also encountered the usual sights of a beaver house, spruce grouse, marmot, and in the pass there were still patches of snow on the ground.
At the time, Dad was the oldest at 58, Charles 41, Jimmie 39 and we kids were 16, 15, 13 and 10. Dad carried his backpack, his 30.06 rifle for bear protection and at times my brother’s pack. This was in the days before backpacks became so sophisticated, and we were a ragtag looking group with more than one worthless pack. However, Jimmie’s boss had given her a brand new backpack and Dad and I were comfortable in army surplus pack boards.
We hiked 18 miles on Saturday and stayed at the Juneau Lake cabin that night. Sunday morning we chugged along the remaining miles at a fast clip, arriving at the trail end a few moments after noon. But, here is where things fell apart. Although Mom was scheduled to meet us in the parking area near Cooper Landing at noon, she didn’t think we could make that deadline.
As we hiked down the final hill, Charles, who was out in front, could see her green station wagon pull into the parking area. Not getting out of the car, Mom didn’t see us and pulled on through, driving away. Quite disappointed after all those miles, Charles set out south on the Sterling Highway to look for her and Dad set out north. Dad checked Gwin’s Lodge but didn’t find her until closer to Cooper Landing, walking even more miles.
The Resurrection Trail was a strenuous hike considering our time frame and we were tired and sore at the end. Despite the pick-up snafu, not having enough proper equipment, and some blistered feet from hiking too fast, we’d accomplished our goal. By the next summer I had married and left home, so that last family hike was especially meaningful for me.

By Various Artists
You would have thought that Lancastrians would have come to terms with the fact that they're never going to get the better of us lot, but it would appear that they're still up for the challenge. This CD seeks to showcase local talent in much the same way that the first couple of DTTR efforts did (y'know - before they went all cosmopolitan on us with 'Something I Learnt Today'.) I suppose Lancaster can't really be seen as a direct competitor of Leeds, but it's interesting to see what they have to offer nonetheless.
3D Tanx kick off the album with a scuzzy low-fi look at the human condition, summarized in a basic 6 note structure. The couplet "Just looking for a kiss / Just looking for a fix" pretty much summarizes their take on life. Premier Kiss Off are tight without ever quite snapping you to dancefloor attention, whereas 3 Ages Of Elvis purvey somewhat reserved indie rock. Sadly, the most interesting moment turns out to be some whistled feedback towards the end of the middle eight.
Death In Public provide sinister, brooding verses punctuated by frightening guitar noise. The vocals are gently malevolent throughout, but an understated rhythm section really hold it together. U R Penetrators are far more arresting. Fab Gossip-style riffs, choppy percussion and frenetic boy / girl vocals make 'Got To Get It Right', for me, the album highlight. And it's danceable as you like; surely this lot can't be genuine Lancastrians... ?
The next two tracks provide some mid-disc jocundity. Inertia's po-faced urban offering is obsessed with narcotics, whereas Kriss Foster prefers his kazoo and knowingly mundane observations about the joys of seaside life. "Morecambe, it's a place that's by the sea / It's just like Venice, but it's not in Italy" may rhyme and even scan (very nearly), but this is not the tag line of a song aiming for credible appreciation. These may be two of the more memorable tracks on the album, but are far from being the best.
Beat The Radar provide flailing guitars and female vocals, but unlike their white rose counterparts (Sky Larkin, for example) subtlety and depth are sadly lacking from their armoury. Similarly, The Missionaries are unlikely to convert too many listeners to their brand of arch-racket pop using only the persuasion of some slightly tremulous vocals.
Dolore are brooding yet uninspiring directionless; definitely one for fans of the Manics. As for Ulcat Row, I don't know what an 'ulcat' is, but this is definitely one hell of a row. File this one next to Whores Whores Whores in the section labelled 'Blunt, Uncompromising and Slightly Weird'. LegoHair, meanwhile, may apparently be named for a recent Hadouken! lyric, but seem a world away from that band's exciting sounds. Think of the (already execrable) 'You And Me Song' being performed by a tuneless tramp and you won't be too far from the mark. Fortunately, Impartial Entity put us back on track with a funky electrified shake-down, seeming to draw equally from the Stone Roses and 70s cop show incidental music.
Now if your Uncle Jeff had formed a Lancastrian stab at being the new Clash or Libertines then he might've ended up churning out something like 'Beggin' For A Meteorite'. However, like many a drunken uncle before him he overstays his welcome - on this occasion with a moody, yet unnecessary, coda. Justifiably lengthy, on the other hand, is the fantastic album-closer 'Spiderwebs' by Thishumansoundrack. Equally reminiscent of Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream and Sigur Rós, what more could any discerning listener possibly ask for?!
So, in spite of this late burst of prog, the LP doesn't necessarily demonstrate that Lancaster is going to be giving Leeds a run for its money any time soon. But in fairness, Lancaster long since passed the mantle to Liverpool and Manchester on that side of the Pennines, in music as in so much else, as did York (barring good old Shed 7, of course) to Leeds and Sheffield on this. And so with this in mind, it really isn't a bad little collection for a small town, if not quite enough yet for me to cast aside centuries of irrational animosity.

13 – 15 November 2020
We had 20 club members (12 vehicles) gather at the Kromrivier (Riviersonderend 4×4) campsite at the foot of the Riviersonderend mountains the weekend of 13-15 November.
The campsites (we all shared one huge site) offer plenty of shade, and are situated near a farm dam and we had a small river running through the woods behind us. To Andy’s delight there was a huge supply of black wattle stumps (the farmer is busy clearing the river of black wattle trees) near the campsite. These were used to build huge campfires both nights, it got so hot that we could hardly get coals from under the burning logs. Plans were discussed to bring long or telescopic shovels for future
“Andy” campfires! About 100 meters from our campsite was the ablution facilities: a number of donkey stoked showers (these worked very well) and some flushing toilets.
Friday evening was as usual the social “kuier” and braai around the campfire. Saturday morning after a relaxed start, some of the group drove some way into the 4×4 route and did a circular hike in the mountains where they saw beautiful flowers, trees and a small waterfall. Some of us went mountain biking, but after trying the first climbs on the 4×4 route we turned around and did a circular route via
the farmhouse to the campsite for an easy +-19 km loop. Rob fired up his trails motorbike and explored some of the farm tracks.
John Little arrived around lunchtime (he had some work commitments to attend to) and brought his pet
baby owl along. This little creature fascinated us all and quite a few of our female members wanted to
Saturday evening we had a campfire that could have put some volcanoes to shame as far as heat is concerned! I got my face burned red from the intense heat in trying to shovel some coals out! Again the evening was a great social get together and by 11 pm everybody was off to bed for a well deserved rest.
Sunday morning some of the group started packing after a leisurely breakfast. Sanette and I did another ride on our mtb’s and Rob did some more exploring on his trails bike. After lunch the last Sanette, I and Rob packed up and headed home.
We enjoyed the weekend and hope the rest of the group did too. Kromrivier (Riviersonderend) campsite turned out to be a great camping destination not to far from Cape Town.
Regards and see you when we camp again.
Jurie and Sanette

The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America opted for a new course in electing Rev. Elizabeth Eaton this week as the first woman to serve as presiding bishop.
It was a surprising defeat for Bishop Mark Hanson, who has led the four-million-member ELCA for the past 12 years. He led the church through such difficult decisions as allowing partnered gays to serve as clergy in the church.
The Rev. David Ritterpusch, of Advent Lutheran Church in Springettsbury Township, said Eaton's gender certainly had nothing to do with her getting the job.
"The ELCA has been ordaining women for 43 years, and I suspect that this is a case that the best person for the job just happened to be a woman," he said.
Eaton has been ECLA bishop of Cleveland. A graduate of the Harvard Divinity School, she is married to an Episcopal priest. The ECLA and the Episcopal Church are in full communion and at times share ministries.
The decision to permit gays has somewhat split the ELCA, with many congregations leaving to join the more conservative North American Lutheran Church. St. Jacob's (Stone) Lutheran Church in Codorus Township and St. Paul (Ziegler's) Lutheran Church in North Codorus Township voted to leave the ELCA in 2011.
Eaton won on the fifth ballot with 600 votes, defeating Hanson, who is finishing his second six-year term. Hanson received 287 votes.
Eaton, at a news conference after she was elected, urged Lutherans to be welcoming to newcomers in their churches. She insisted the denomination could stay unified despite differences over what the Bible says about same-sex relationships.
"We're not defined by that single issue," Eaton said. "We don't agree on everything in this church, but we do agree on the cross of Christ, and we do agree we're going to stick together to have that conversation."

As a diabetic, planning what to eat and when is incredibly important – What you eat will have a direct impact on your blood sugar level, and keeping this under control is vital if you want to manage your diabetes successfully.
Thankfully, there are plenty of tools and resources available to help you plan your diet effectively.
One tool that’s particularly useful is the “glycemic index”. Here’s what you need to know about it, and how to get started:
The glycemic index (GI) is a measure used to describe how quickly a food raises your blood sugar level after you eat it. It’s a scale from 0 to 100.
High GI foods are foods that you digest and absorb quickly, causing a rapid spike in blood sugar level – White bread, sugary drinks and candy are examples of high GI foods.
Low GI foods are foods that you digest and absorb more slowly, resulting in a slower and more gradual increase in blood sugar level – Whole grains, fruits, vegetables and legumes are examples of low GI foods.
A variety of factors affect a food’s GI rating. These include:
For example, foods that are high in fibre usually have a lower GI because the fibre slows down the digestion and absorption of the carbohydrates.
High GI foods:
Medium GI foods:
Low GI foods:
To measure the glycemic index (GI) of a food, a specific amount of that food (containing 50 grams of carbohydrates) is fed to a group of people and their blood sugar levels are monitored for the next 2 hours – This is done in a clinical setting (e.g. a hospital or research facility) under controlled conditions.
At a different time, the same group of people are also fed a ‘reference’ food (such as glucose or white bread).
The effect of the reference food and the test food are then compared. The reference food is assigned a GI value of 100. The GI value of the test food is then calculated as a percentage of the reference food’s GI value – This is done by taking the area under the curve of the blood sugar response to the test food and dividing it by the area under the curve of the reference food's blood sugar response. This gives a value between 0 and 100.
As a diabetic, knowing a food’s glycemic index (GI) lets you make more informed decisions about what you eat, and how much of it you eat. This is because a food’s GI value gives you an idea of how quickly it can raise blood glucose levels.
Foods with a high GI can cause your blood sugar level to spike rapidly. This is a problem, because over time high blood sugar levels can damage blood vessels and nerves, leading to serious complications (such as heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, and neuropathy).
Foods with a low GI are broken down more slowly, so your blood sugar level increases more gradually. This gives you more time to address it, and take medication (e.g. insulin) to lower it again if needed. And by managing your blood sugar level better, avoiding spikes and high blood sugar levels, you reduce your risk of complications.
Here are some common Indian foods which have a high GI value (70 or over):
Here are some common Indian foods which have a medium GI value (between 56 and 69):
Here are some common Indian foods which have a low GI value (between 40 and 55):
Here are some common Indian foods which have a very low GI value (between 25 and 39):
Here are some common Indian foods which have an extremely low GI value (less than 25):
Knowing a food’s glycemic index (GI) can be useful for managing diabetes. However, there are some drawbacks to relying only on foods’ GI values when planning a diabetic-friendly diet.
Here are some of the limitations and drawbacks of the glycemic index:
When making dietary decisions as a diabetic, understanding foods’ glycemic index (GI) value can be useful – Low GI foods are better for diabetics, giving you a greater chance of successfully managing your blood sugar levels and reducing the risk of complications.
However, it's important to keep in mind that the GI values of foods can vary depending on a number of factors (including the preparation method). And bear in mind, everyone’s different and the impact of your diet is subjective – How a food affects your blood sugar level can vary, and will depend on things like your insulin sensitivity, level of physical activity, and other foods you ate at the same time.
When planning a healthy diet, you also shouldn’t focus solely on your foods’ GI. You need to consider additional factors as well, like how much fibre, fat, and protein they contain, as well as vitamins and nutrients.
If you’re keen to prepare a healthy diet plan it’s a good idea to talk to a specialised healthcare professional, like a diabetes educator or a nutritionist. They can help you develop a customised diet and diabetes management plan, tailored to your unique needs and goals.
Enjoy rich flavours of India with a diabetes-friendly twist. Grilled tandoori chicken with cauliflower rice is a balanced meal that doesn't compromise on taste.
Indulge in a diabetes-friendly cardamom almond cake. This moist and aromatic cake is perfect for satisfying sweet cravings while keeping blood sugar in check.
Idli with sambar and green and red chutney is a traditional South Indian breakfast. This diabetes-friendly option starts the day without raising blood sugar.

Having studied 55 products labeled "probiotic," Belgian biologists conclude that in fact, not every product that claims to be "probiotic" actually contains the bacteria associated with this claim. In addition, in many cases the researchers found bacteria other than those named on the label.
"Probiotic" refers to foods that contain certain bacteria, which are said to have beneficial effects on colon flora and the immune system.
The researchers studied the micro-flora of 25 dairy products and 30 powdered products that are used as nutritional supplements. More than a third of the powdered products contained no living bacteria whatsoever - unlike the dairy products, which contained up to a billion living microorganisms per milliliter.
In identifying the bacteria, they found that only thirteen percent of the products contained all bacteria types included on the label.
Meanwhile, in one third of all the products, the researchers found other bacteria not listed on the label. However, these could be classified as harmless. The researchers criticize that the packaging often features incorrect, but nice-sounding bacteria names. They say that in the interest of the consumer, it is necessary to have label the products correctly.
This research will be published later this year in the International Journal of Food Microbiology.

You don’t start out writing good stuff. You start out writing crap and thinking it’s good stuff, and then gradually you get better at it. That’s why I say one of the most valuable traits is persistence. – Octavia Butler
I’ve had a lot of new blog followers over the recent weeks, and that’s fantastic! Welcome! I hope I can simultaneously manage to be real without oversharing, energetic without straight up lying to you (I’m tired!), friendly without the saccharine, “truthy” without sanctimony, and inspiring without making you all roll your eyes and eventually hate me.
I’ve been writing here since…2011…I think? My stats tell me that people think my posts about travel and photography are swell, are mildly interested in recipes (although that baked buffalo wing post is killing it on Pinterest), and love reading about my family. Most people stumble upon my blog whilst searching for famous quotes, as above, or, and this amuses me, because they’re looking for a photo of SpongeBob crying or Homer Simpson drooling. Occasionally people find me because they’ve lost a parent and are looking for support. That’s something I’m proud of (and if you’re here for that reason I’m giving you virtual hugs).
I enjoy looking at these kinds of things, but I admit that I don’t let them persuade me in what I write. Very few people read my post about tutoring a little boy in Indianapolis, but it remains one of my favorite pieces of writing. My post on art and design in Lima, Peru was Freshly Pressed, but as I look back on it I wish I’d done it a bit differently.
Abel Bentin exhibit in Lima, Peru. If you came here looking for vaguely threatening ice cream cones, I’ve got you covered. This piece is called “I don’t believe in Guilt.”
All this has had me thinking, though, about how I write. Like, how do I decide what to talk about? And then how do I put idea to keyboard?
Honestly it varies. In the olden days of Loni Found Herself I’d plan weekend trips with the very idea of taking photographs and writing about my experiences. I had a lot of fun doing that, too, but then it felt like I wasn’t really absorbing the experience so much as documenting it. Around the time I had Margot I read an article imploring women, especially, to put down the cameras and phones, stop recording every moment of their child’s life, and actively participate in those moments. What’s more important? Having photos of your child so that they can have memories or actually being a part of those memories? Will Margot remember me as the mom who stood off to the side taking pictures of her swimming, or will she remember me as the mom who jumped into the pool with her?
So now I write less about outings (though I still do from time to time) and more about, well, other stuff. Really, whatever strikes my fancy. Sometimes the idea comes to my head and I mull it over for a few days. Sometimes I sit down intending to write one thing and, through the course of typing, it turns into something else entirely. Like this post. I thought it would be a list of my favorite pieces of writing from my blog. You can see where it maybe could have gone in that direction, just after the paragraph about tutoring and Peru.
Is this blog any good? I hope so.
And, more than that, I hope it’s getting better.

Why the War on Yemen Continues
The Saudis are blaming Iran for the continuation of a war on Yemen that they escalated and choose to keep fighting:
Saudi Arabia on Sunday accused Iran of blocking peace efforts in Yemen, slamming its political archrival over support for the Yemeni rebels Riyadh is fighting against.
The Saudis and their allies embarked on a reckless intervention two and a half years ago on the assumption that they would prevail quickly, and they were pursuing unrealistic goals from the start. Thirty months later, they remain bogged down in a war they can’t win, but they still refuse to stop. The coalition remains wedded to a set of political conditions that their enemies won’t accept. All parties to the conflict are responsible for keeping the conflict going, but the outside governments intervening in Yemen bear a large share of the responsibility for escalating and prolonging the war. The result is a country wrecked by bombing and starved by blockade and a population suffering from the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.
The Saudis are eager to deny responsibility for the disaster they have done so much to create, but their desperate attempts to blame others for their wrongdoing don’t hold up under scrutiny. One of the chief obstacles to a cease-fire and a possible political settlement is the Saudi-led coalition’s determination to persist in their foolish campaign. The Saudi crown prince just reaffirmed that determination in his usual delusional way. As for the Saudis’ accusation, it is not credible. Iran’s role and influence in Yemen are minimal, so it is doubtful that their government would be able to prevent the Houthis from accepting a compromise if the latter thought it was in their interest. Iran reportedly advised them not to take capital in 2014, but they ignored that advice. The problem is that no compromise is being offered, because the coalition still imagines that it can win despite all evidence to the contrary. The U.S. and the coalition’s other Western backers keep indulging them in this fantasy through their continued support for the campaign. The Saudis are predictably trying to shift blame for the continuation of the war to everyone except themselves and their allies, but no one should take their claims seriously.

Ruby’s Tuesday until £50 million fall
Willie Mullins, the Irish champion, became the first trainer to win four grade one races on a day of the Cheltenham Festival yesterday. Bookmakers, however, claim they were saved from a £40 million payout, potentially the biggest racing loss in history, when the fall of Annie Power, ridden by Ruby Walsh, wrecked thousands of accumulator bets on four Mullins-trained favourites.
Cheltenham is perennially the theatre of the unexpected but the domination of Mullins was signposted for several weeks. The in-built hazards of jump racing militate against predictable results but, shortly after 4pm, Annie Power was storming to the final flight of the mares’ hurdle with a fortune resting on one jump.
Douvan, Un De Sceaux and Faugheen had won their respective races under Walsh, the

Female genital mutilation (FGM) is a collective term for the deliberate alteration, removal and cutting of the female genitalia. It has no known health benefits and can have negative physical and psychological consequences. The number of women and girls in the UK that are affected by FGM is unknown. Recent NHS data suggested that FGM has been evident (declared or observed) in women who have accessed health care; however, there are gaps in knowledge and a limited evidence base on the health consequences of FGM. This article explores the urological complications experienced by women who have undergone this practice, and the effects this can have on their health and wellbeing.

How long after surgery can you use nicotine?
Your surgeon will also tell you not to smoke for at least two weeks after surgery, three weeks is even better. Not smoking helps ensure reduced levels of cell death, which may occur if a patient continues to smoke during the recovery period.
Does nicotine affect healing?
Nicotine is a vasoconstrictor that reduces nutritional blood flow to the skin, resulting in tissue ischemia and impaired healing of injured tissue. Nicotine also increases platelet adhesiveness, raising the risk of thrombotic microvascular occlusion and tissue ischemia.
Does nicotine mess with anesthesia?
Having any amount of nicotine in your system will affect anesthesia in a number of ways. Smokers often require more anesthesia to produce the same effect, which can throw off anesthesiologists. If you smoke or vape nicotine, it can also affect your lungs and heart, which are stressed during any surgical procedure.
Why is smoking bad after surgery?
Smoking distorts a patient’s immune system and can delay healing, increasing the risk of infection at the wound site. Smoking just one cigarette decreases the body’s ability to deliver necessary nutrients for healing after surgery.
Can I have a cigarette after surgery?
After surgery, it is important you do not start smoking again, even if you only quit 12 hours before surgery. Allow your body time to recover and heal properly. Smoking makes recovery harder by stressing your heart, affecting your blood pressure, reducing oxygen in your blood and body tissues, and damaging your lungs.
Can I chew nicotine gum after surgery?
Cigarettes, cigars, chewing tobacco and nicotine gum/patches impair incision healing. Cigarettes, cigars, chewing tobacco and nicotine gum also increase the risk of infec- tion after injury or surgery. supply and makes the heart work harder to deliver oxygen to the body.
Does vaping slow down wound healing?
“Basically, nicotine makes your blood vessels smaller and your blood stickier,” Spiegel says. As a result, blood circulation is reduced, especially to small microvessels found in the skin, making it much harder for the body to repair injuries.
How long after surgery can you vape?
I require patients to stop using nicotine a minimum of 6 weeks prior to their procedures and 6 weeks after. Resuming smoking or vaping during recovery, before your incision sites have healed, puts you at risk of poor healing, infection, and other dangerous complications.
Can a surgeon tell if you smoke?
Yes, your doctor can tell if you smoke occasionally by looking at medical tests that can detect nicotine in your blood, saliva, urine and hair. When you smoke or get exposed to secondhand smoke, the nicotine you inhale gets absorbed into your blood.
Can nicotine be replaced before surgery?
People who start nicotine replacement therapy at least four weeks before surgery can halve their risk of poor wound healing, according to a new study. People who start nicotine replacement therapy at least four weeks before surgery can halve their risk of poor wound healing.

Not gonna lie I hadn’t heard of this book until I saw the movie trailer on Facebook. I don’t know if anyone else is like me but I always love to read the book before I watch the movie. The book starts out from the point of view of Stella who had been battling Cystic Fibrosis since she was really young. During her latest trip to the hospital she sees her usual hospital friends nurse Barb and her friend Poe. Soon into her stay she notices a new CF patient, Will. Over the course of her stay the grow closer and soon start to fall in love. This story takes many many twist and turns and let me tell you don’t plan on finishing it with dry eyes.
Overall this book was amazing. You get to see the story take place from both Will and Stella’s point of view. The story really brings you in and makes you care for the characters. The story line is amazing and flows well. You get to really know the characters not only the main ones but the supporting characters as well.
Earlier today I finished reading Red Queen by Victoria Averyard. To begin lets talk about the cover. I mean wow. The way the cover plays with light undertones and uses the red to draw you in. It really helps emphasize the crucial role that red blood will play in the story.
Now on to the good stuff. The story itself is pretty amazing. It brings in supporting characters that end up playing important roles within the story and are mentioned continously throughout the plot. We follow the main character Mare as she ascendes from a lowly red living in The Stilts to a silver blooded princess living in the Capital. Mares journey takes a dramatic twist when she falls onto an electrified shield and doesn’t get shocked instead that collision awakens an ablilty she never knew she had. From that point on she is thrown into the royal family so they can try to cover up the possiblity that a red could have the powers that only silvers are suppose to have. She becomes betrothed to prince Maven but quickly learns she has feelings for his older brother Cal. Soon into her life at the palace she becomes involved in a rebellion group called the Scarlet Guard. Things quickly become more complicated for Mare as the stakes become higher and more people become involved in her life. Also something to be aware of is the MAJOR plot twist at the end.
This book drew me in as soon as I started reading it. As you continue to read the story more and more information gets given to you. I really enjoyed how the author brought in lots of supporting characters and didnt leave us hanging on what happend to them. The relationships she creates for Mare shows the complexity of the world she lives in. The author gives you so many male charactrers that become a possible love interest for Mare that it becomes hard to decide who you want to root for. Honestly I think I enjoyed this book so much because of its complexity and how it never got boring there was always something happening.
Red Queen is the first book in the 4 part series by Victoria Aveyard. Overall I would 100% reccommend this book.
Since I can remember reading has been a passion of mine. I’ve always had the urge to do something with the books I’ve read and those I plan on reading and some that I’ve already read. To turn something I love to do into something larger. As I contemplated this over the past year I got the realization that I could create a blog that told my opinions and thoughts after reading a book and hopefully share a little bit of magic with those who decide to follow my literarey journey.

Diary Quote of the day
Who else but me is ever going to read these letters?
I keep a diary in order to enter the wonderful secrets of my life. If I didn't write them down, I should not probably forget all about them.
Find out your most limiting tasks and deal with them as early as possible. Use a diary, and jot little points of reminder about specific tasks for reference later.
Even if you listen to all the advice from your parents, friends, teachers, and mentors, if you don't end up happy, you still have nobody to blame. Nobody's perfect.
Help me to help you consider and appreciate your worst of nightmares and best of dreams.
Set your end goal...the steps in between - is your path
I arise to face my failures every morning, but I never fail to face them.
The platonic love I feel for my cousin, made me write this diary ...”Leione
Go outside and try to recapture the happiness within yourself
Every book has to wait for the right time to be read and understood.
Today was very full, but the problem isn't today. It's tomorrow. I'd be able to recover from today if it weren't for tomorrow. There should be extra days, buffer days, between real days.
I'm sorry. This is diary, not enlightenment.
I need to make myself strong on the inside instead of what is on the outside. I know all of this, but why can’t I put any of it into action? I guess that’s why I am in this place.
Because zombies can’t go out into the sun, most of them tend to be afraid of anything that can go into the sun and live to tell the tale.
Man is adept at navigating the globe and beyond - yet doubt finding his own destiny
A diary with no drawings of me in it? Where are the torrid fantasies? The romance covers?
Each new day is a blank page in the diary of your life. The secret of success is in turning that diary into the best story you possibly can.
He will never let her go. Never. she belongs to him..Forever.
She is not an ordinary girl. She is my fairy who will change my life and make it beautiful with her smiles.
Yes, Rose. Love is a wonderful feeling!
Why bring him in my life at all when he never was meant to stay?
So what if he is not part of my present but he is in my future, I know. And everyday I'm going a step closer to my future, to him.
If you do not write the thoughts of the moments, it is lost forever.
Rose, we are here today. Tomorrow we don’t know where life will take us to. So, as long as we have today in our hands, let’s not slip it from our hands. Let’s live it!
That's not FOR REAL.
Love is beyond space and time. It reaches out to the heart of the person that you are missing. Love binds two souls and not two bodies.
She believes in love, in destiny and she knows ...she feels her prince in her destiny. She just has to wait for the right time.....
your only barriers are what you let it be
In a world of increasing uncertainty, expect...
Issues are like tissues. You pull one out and another appears!
You ought to write down your goals. It serves as a guidepost and gives strength for purposeful action.
If you're reading this, then I guess someone, somewhere does go through the rubbish and read every piece of paper that gets balled up and tossed away. So in that case here it is- my name's Sal.
I put artistic values above all others. Because writing, for me, is an expanded world, a limitless world, containing all.
We are all born as storytellers. Our inner voice tells the first story we ever hear.
Isn't it lucky?
In chaos, there is fertility.
My journal has become a paper mirror, a topographic map to my mind. It is where I go to sort out confusion and decipher the invisible.
What a difference! Under the esthetic sky, everything is buoyant, beautiful, transient! when ethics arrives on the scene, everything becomes harsh, angular and infinitely boring
Today I bumped into you again. You seemed like that flower long forgotten in the old diary.
Every guard and every weapon have one weakness in common, and that is who wields them.
I had seen the world as either white or black.It is only when I read the pages of her diary that I understood why the sky looked so grey.
Amidst a symphony of entropic cascades, each and every drop still has enough gravity to make lightning or life.
The only shameless glory that rivals grace is unconditional love.
To ask the meaning of life is silly, with rhetorical rhetoric. Life is the meaning.
I long for the day I no longer long for him.
A picture is a personal diary where only the artist knows the meaning.
For whatever time I have to live, I intend to enjoy myself." - Midge Rylander in Eighteen Months To Live.
I laughed when I read about being born with two hearts, one of which is devoted only to destroying humanity.

Now I don't think there's anyone who believes that CDs sales are going to increase under any circumstances, but there are people that still buy them, and it might be possible to slow that spiral down. But how?
According to an article in the Financial Times, the UK retailer Tesco is trying to get the major labels there to implement a novel idea that might give the retailer some relief so it's it's able to stock more CD inventory. Instead of paying $11 to $13 dollars up front for a CD (in the US it's more like $8 to $9), they're asking to pay just 80 cents up front, with the remainder paid after the sale. The idea is that this amount will cover the actual manufacturing cost of the disc only, although that doesn't even touch the royalties, overhead, production costs and more.
A trial is now being made with Robbie Williams, and Tesco claims that sales are up 40%. That doesn't tell us much however, since the only way the program would make a difference is if more different CDs were stocked than before to give consumers more choice.
In any event, it's a step in the right direction. Record stores are vitally important to the music business, and it's important that they get any help they can from any place they can. Let's hope something similar takes place in the US.

I cannot square with how people are calling Trump's election a vote against the establishment, when so many Republican incumbents were re-elected. That is a false notion. Clinton and Democrats lost because they didn't speak to middle class economics. People are freaking out about losing their jobs. That hasn't changed. If you worry about being able to support yourself and your family every day all day and no matter what you do, it still feels like you are losing that, you are going to be looking for someone to blame. The old jobs aren't going to come back in the way that they were here 20-30 years ago. They are gone. This is not because Obama or liberals wished them away. Corporations made these decisions. You can't blame them from a business standpoint: Why pay someone who will work 5 days a week for 8 hours a day at $15 an hour when you can spend money building a factory on the other side of the world and pay many someones who will work 7 days a week for 12-16 hours a day at $3 an hour? As a publicly held company, you are beholden to your shareholders to make the most money while spending the least. Another wrinkle is you as a shareholder in your 401(k) or if you are lucky enough to still have a pension DEMAND this kind of behavior from businesses, because then you make a better return on your investment dollars. The irony here is that these kinds of corporate behaviors are championed by establishment Republicans. Yet as a whole the party still holds a ton of sway.
Enough with the Clintons. Enough with the Bushes.
I believe in Bernie. I believe in Warren. They actually have solutions that speak to all Americans.
I hoped Clinton would win, because she was not Trump, or Stein, or Johnson. But she was not a good candidate. It was not because she is a woman. It is because she is a Clinton.She has too much history and baggage, fair or unfair as that is. There's a lot of misogyny out there, but that's not why she lost. She lost because people in key areas wanted change, and Clinton was more of the same.
John Stewart spoke with David Axelrod after the debate, and he NAILED it at the 17:18 mark. This is the reason why I won't vote Republican. We have a political party in this country whose public platform is "Government doesn't work." They get into office, and either DO NOTHING or SMASH the institutions and rules and gum up everything, then they turn around and say "See, Government doesn't work." Half this country agrees with this approach. I hope people vote for them because they think that "I agree that government doesn't work, so I'm going to vote for you to fix it." But Republicans NEVER fix it. This is why compromise is such an anathema to them. Compromise means solving problems, and the only problem they want to solve is staying in office. Democrats are at least TRYING to solve problems. It's like a marriage where one person wants it to work, and trys and trys and makes mistakes doing so, while the other one does nothing except yell and tell the other person that they suck, then this person turns around and says that they don't believe in the institution of marriage and that it's a sham. Come on!
This article sums up a lot of good stuff, and also contradicts some of what I just said above.
Canaries in the Coal Mine: Some people have watched their fellow Americans on the coasts ride a tech, finance and real estate rocketship, while their mortgages are underwater, their jobs have gone overseas or been automated, and the awareness of their critical value to the country has been systematically diminished. Consider a coal miner from Wyoming or West Virginia. For generations, his family has been powering America; literally providing the fuel that drove ecomomic revolutions. And now, not only is his business shrinking, he’s being told by all the environmentalists, billionaires, and Hollywood types that his industry has been poisoning the world. That his sacrifices, hard work, and health risks (and those of his father and his father) are all part of some historic wrongdoing. You’re worried about climate change? He’s worried about dinner. Does that mean alternative energy is bad. No, it’s the future. But you don’t have to be a complete dick about it.From the Trickle Downers site:
Tax Cuts for the rich. Deregulation for the powerful. Wage suppression for everyone else. These are the tenets of trickle-down economics, the conservatives’ age-old strategy for advantaging the interests of the rich and powerful over those of the middle class and poor. The articles in Trickle-Downers are devoted, first, to exposing and refuting these lies, but equally, to reminding Americans that these claims aren’t made because they are true. Rather, they are made because they are the most effective way elites have found to bully, confuse and intimidate middle- and working-class voters. Trickle-down claims are not real economics. They are negotiating strategies. Here at the Prospect, we hope to help you win that negotiation.
