Palo Alto offers a variety of clubs that students may take part in to build their resume, network and improve their leadership skills while forming lasting friendships.
At the beginning of the spring semester, Palo Alto College held an event called Club Rush, where students were able to ask members of the clubs for more information about joining.
Students join clubs to interact with fellow students and for their own personal development.
“I really wanted to learn more about the principles and factors that go into being a leader and all the lessons I learned from it, they really helped me grow academically and personally,” said Steven King, a freshman who is the academic success officer for the Student Government Association, an organization that is the voice of the students. Concerns/issues are brought to SGA’s attention so the members might address them.
Time management in college can be difficult with so much free time compared to high school. King believes free time is detrimental to a person’s routine.
Joining a club comes with travel opportunities. Last semester the Somos MAS organization took a trip to Austin to protest a racist textbook that was being considered for Texas History. One of the general purposes of this cultural organization is to promote activism.
“The week before, we were painting picket signs. It was really amazing. They invited us to go up to where the board was doing the hearing. We got to shake hands with the people who represent us for the Texas Board of Education, and I actually got a few phone numbers,” said Yuritzi Perez, a senior at Texas A&M University San Antonio who is a Somos MAS member.
Joining organizations provides opportunities to meet important people who can potentially impact a student’s life.
For some students, they have built lifelong friendships in clubs with members who share a common interest.
“I came in here with no friends at all, and now I go out more. We go to museums. You do make great friendships when you join,” said Fernanda Hernandez, a sophomore who is Somos MAS’ president.
Clubs also bring academic benefits to students in different ways.
“I also met people who have given me scholarships. When I bring up Somos MAS and say that I’m president, that’s mainly the part that I tell them, and it opens so many doors for you when you join organizations like this,” said Hernandez.
Palo Alto currently has 22 active clubs to join. They include Ambassadors of Business, Club Earth, Club STAND, Delta Sigma Omicron, Destino, Drama Club, Future Educators of America, Horticulture Club, Logistics Club, Lone Star Ag Club, National Society of Leadership/Success, Palomino Alliance Coalition, Phi Theta Kappa, Puente Club, Shutterbugs Photography Club, Sigma Alpha Pi, Society of Future Engineers, Somos MAS, Student Government Association, Student Veterans Organization, To Dye For Cosmetology Club, and Tri-Beta Biological.
Each of these organizations has its own page on OrgSync, an easily accessible website found on each student’s ACES account under the student tab. This website acts almost as a Facebook for the organizations, where it keeps students updated on upcoming events.
Get involved! Find a club of your interest and put your social and leadership skills to work.

The frustrating quest for dark-matter continues. An unidentified X-ray signature recently observed in a nearby galaxy clusters is not due to the decay of dark matter, researchers report. The findings ruled out previously proposed interpretations of dark matter particle physics. But the near future for solving this great mystery of 21st-century astronomy looks bright.
Despite its cosmological abundance and the well-established astrophysical evidence of its existence, little is known about the mysterious, invisible dark matter particles. Some models of dark matter predict that they might slowly decay into ordinary matter. If so, the process of dark matter decay would produce faint photon emissions detectable by X-ray telescopes.
Unidentified X-ray Emission Line
Recent X-ray observations of nearby galaxy clusters have detected an unidentified X-ray emission line at 3.5 kiloelectronvolts (keV), which has been interpreted by some as a signature of dark matter decay. Specifically, the X-ray emission was linked to a hypothetical dark matter particle known as a sterile neutrino – a theoretical particle that is believed to interact only via gravity and not via other fundamental interactions of the Standard Model. If this is correct, dark matter surrounding our Galaxy should decay and produce a similar X-ray emission line, spread faintly across the entire night sky.
Physicists have suggested that dark matter is a closely related cousin of the neutrino, called the sterile neutrino. Neutrinos – subatomic particles with no charge and which rarely interact with matter – are released during nuclear reactions taking place inside the sun. They have a tiny amount of mass, but this mass isn’t explained by the Standard Model of Particle Physics. Physicists suggest that the sterile neutrino, a hypothetical particle, could account for this mass and also be dark matter.
Searching the Milky Way’s Dark-Matter Halo
Christopher Dessert and colleagues searched for the 3.5 keV signal within the ambient halo of the Milky Way using data from the European Space Agency’s XMM-Newton space telescope. “Everywhere we look, there should be some flux of dark matter from the Milky Way halo,” said Nicholas Rodd, currently a particle phenomenologist at CERN, because of our solar system’s location in the galaxy. “We exploited the fact that we live in a halo of dark matter.” Rodd’s research focuses on the search for dark matter in astrophysical datasets, an approach known as indirect detection.
Dessert, Rodd and colleagues analyzed blank-sky observations (parts of the sky away from large X-ray emitting regions) with a total exposure time of roughly a year, finding no evidence for the predicted 3.5 KeV line. According to the authors, the findings rule out the predicted signal strength by over an order of magnitude.
“When searching for X-ray photons coming from dark matter, arguably the two most important parameters of your telescope are: 1. How well it can determine the photon energy; and 2. How many photons it collects. It is very challenging to make strides on the second of these,” Nicholas Rodd wrote in an email to The Daily Galaxy. “We already have instruments like XMM-Newton that have been collecting X-rays for over two decades, giving them a significant head start on any new telescope,” he explained.
“But technological improvements will allow new instruments to determine X-ray energies far more accurately,” Rodd observed in his email. “This matters for a potential dark-matter signal like the 3.5 keV line, because as the name suggests, it is expected to be a very narrow line in X-rays. Future instruments – including the NASA’s X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission
(XRISM), due to launch within a year, and in the longer term Advanced Telescope for High-ENergy Astrophysics (Athena) – should start to see a very narrow feature coming from dark matter, if that’s where the anomaly originates, and play a key role in resolving this dark-matter mystery.”

We are losing our freedoms one little "nugget" at a time. We're dying from 1,000 cuts. We will not recognize the United States of America 10 years from now. That America will have died. In it's place a Socialistic/Communist Utopia with everybody on the public dole unless you work for the government.
Is so intellectually dishonest it's not even laughable anymore. Everyone, conservative or liberal should be concerned when the government oversteps it's boundaries. I was against Bush forming Homeland Insecurity and also passage of the Patriot (misnomer) Act.
If EVERYBODY is on the public dole, then where would the money come from? You can't have tax income without people having jobs and paying those taxes.
"We will not recognize the United States of America 10 years from now. That America will have died. In it's place a Socialistic/Communist Utopia"
But I thought the glorious GOP was going to rescue us from that nightmare. Where is YOUR Republican savior? You must be an actor or, at least, a drama queen.

One of the hardest problems with Anxiety is trying to sleep at night. I find it very difficult to switch off and mostly when it’s time to sleep. When I’m lying in bed, all I can think of is things I did wrong that day, things I wish I did or worrying about tomorrow.
There are a few things you can do to help you sleep at night like, write lists, play music or sounds (water, birds, etc) but for me the most successful way to fall asleep is to watch a film. Some people might think that’s a weird way to get to sleep but I find depending on the sounds, music or story, it really helps.
Sometimes, it’s a film with a soothing score or it could be a film I’ve watched 1000 times and I know it so well it sends me off because I know whats coming next. Basically I could play it all in my sleep. There are a few films which are so bad that they bore me to sleep too but most of the time it’s the music that gets my head down fast.
I find the best films to send to sleep are SciFi films. They typically have comforting soundtrack which is easier to listen to at night than say a action packed score or horror flick with abrupt sounds.
I would NEVER watch a new film to go to sleep. I end up watching the whole thing! Here’s some of my go to films to send me to sleep…
This film is completely in Spanish and has English subtitles. It’s such a beautiful movie but also has an epic score which get’s me to sleep every time.
This is one of my favourite Sci-Fi films in years and I’ve lost count how many times I’ve watched it. Again, it’s also got a beautiful soundtrack so I sometimes put this one on at night as my go to film.
Again, I’ve over played this one to death. I do like this film but I’ve watched it do many times I can play the whole thing in my head without even watching it.
Not only does this film have a great soundtrack but it’s SO LONG I know I’m going to be out of it by the half way mark.
Waaaaaall Eeeeee! I love the 1930s music in this film. I’m usually passed out before Wall-E heads into space.
Other than Harry Potter, this is probably my favourite franchise. I’m just a massive Jennifer Lawrence fan. As well as watching these films to death, I also love the music.
Lord of the Rings
Let’s face it. These are the LONGEST FILMS IN HISTORY. If I think it’s going to take me a while to get to sleep, then I put one of these films on. I’m usually out before Frodo leaves the shire.
Ready Player One
One of my favourite films this year. I can’t get enough of this film and love the 1980’s soundtrack. Just an easy film to listen to at bedtime.
Fun fact. I’ve watched this film so many times and I still don’t know how it ends. Fact.
The Darkest Hour
This film…is so bad…but sort of a guilty pleasure of mine. Yet, it does the job.
I love this film. No real music in this but I’ve watched it so many times that it’s great to fall asleep to. Just don’t have it on too loud.

Kubernetes has become a standard way—many would say the standard way — to deploy containerized applications at scale. But if Kubernetes helps us to tame sprawling and complex container deployments, what’s available to help us tame Kubernetes? It too can be complex, messy, and difficult to manage.
As Kubernetes grows and evolves, it is likely that some of its excesses will be tamed from within. But some people aren’t waiting around for Kubernetes to get any easier to work with, and have rolled their own solutions to many common problems with Kubernetes in production.
Here we highlight 10 projects that simplify Kubernetes in various ways, from easing command-line interactions, to simplifying application deployment syntax, to integrating with AWS, to providing a window into multiple clusters.

Tara Westover was seventeen the first time she set foot in a classroom. Born to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho, she prepared for the end of the world by stockpiling home-canned peaches and sleeping with her "head-for-the-hills bag." In the summer she stewed herbs for her mother, a midwife and healer, and in the winter she salvaged in her father's junkyard. Her father distrusted the medical establishment, so Tara never saw a doctor or nurse. Gashes and concussions, even burns from explosions, were all treated at home with herbalism. The family was so isolated from mainstream society that there was no one to ensure the children received an education, and no one to intervene when an older brother became violent. When another brother got himself into college and came back with news of the world beyond the mountain, Tara decided to try a new kind of life. She taught herself enough mathematics, grammar, and science to take the ACT and was admitted to Brigham Young University. There, she studied psychology, politics, philosophy, and history, learning for the first time about pivotal world events like the Holocaust and the Civil Rights Movement. Her quest for knowledge transformed her, taking her over oceans and across continents, to Harvard and to Cambridge University. Only then would she wonder if she'd traveled too far, if there was still a way home.

The opening and title track to "One Hundred Years Old" by Low Branches starts things off on a pretty heavy note. Sparse and low percussion are suddenly accented by a very intimate and soft female vocal, singing: "My daddy told me, we only live to be one hundred years old... at the most".
A melancholy and thought provoking tone is instantly established, and continues with the opening of the second verse (now complemented with more instrumentation) which unravels the revelations of her mother: "And my momma told me, love happens naturally, she said there's no use in trying... you know you'd just be lying... to yourself". These sentiments in the context of their surrounding sound seem equal parts comfort and damnation, quite an emotional feat for an opening track.
As the record unfolds a type of sad yet enjoyably relaxing sound is sustained. The overall feel kind of reminds me of the works of Norah Jones, not really in instrumental production, but in spirit. Overall it's very good rainy day music to enjoy with tea.
"One Hundred Years Old" by Low Branches is available at their Bandcamp page.

Soon, British Columbians will be facing important issues such as the Northern Gateway pipeline, fracking, the Clean Water Act and land use. Christy Clark and her majority government will decide what they plan to do about it.
We, the citizens, will have no choice but to accept their decision. B.C.’s non-binding Referendum Act, put in place by the NDP and labeled as unworkable by former Liberal opposition leader Gordon Campbell, will make it practically impossible to launch a referendum against any Clark government decisions.
In B.C., there can only be one referendum proponent, an individual and registered voter, and not an organization, whereas there can be any number of opponents, consisting of organizations and individuals, creating a bias in favour of opponents in terms of fundraising and networking potential. The proponent and his or her canvassers must work hard to collect the signatures of at least 10 per cent in each of B.C.`s 85 ridings. If only one falls short by even one per cent, all is for nought. Opponents, however, need only to concentrate their efforts in two or three ridings to make sure that at least one fails. In California and Washington State, the signatures of only four per cent of the voters statewide, who voted in the last gubernatorial election, are needed to launch a binding referendum. B.C. could apply the same rule, requiring the signatures of four per cent of the voters who voted in the last provincial election. Due to B.C.’s geography, most signatures would be collected in southern areas, but all British Columbians would be asked to vote on the proposal.
In B.C., canvassers must be registered voters, government approved and registered, a time-consuming and expensive process. In California and Washington State, anyone can display, distribute and circulate referendum petition forms.
When it comes to a vote, the above states require a simple majority of those who take part in the vote, whereas in B.C. a majority of all registered voters is required. If 50 per cent of the registered voters turned out to vote and 100 per cent of them voted in favour, the referendum would not pass. It would fail by one vote. To top it all off in B.C., under existing rules, a positive result of a referendum goes back to debate in the legislature, which still has the power to trash the vote, thus turning the referendum into an expensive poll and B.C. into a pseudo democracy. Voter participation in B.C. provincial elections since 1928 has averaged 67.26 per cent, but only at 52 per cent in the last election. By comparison, it is interesting to note Premier Christy Clark herself was elected by only 23.8 per cent of registered voters in her riding. This begs the question: Why do we British Columbians need more than 50 per cent of B.C.’s registered voters to vote to overturn any of her decisions?
In California and Washington State, legislative change is the law and automatic in case of a positive referendum result. I can cite the case of Switzerland, where for the last 150 years or so, the signatures of only one per cent of registered voters are required to force a binding referendum, and only two per cent for the proposal of a new law (initiative). I lived in Switzerland for a number of years and while there, I observed that the very existence of the Swiss referendum law — enabling the citizens to have a final say on any issue at any time – created a far more harmonious relationship between the electorate and the elected. It appears not to be an us-against-them, but an us-and-us relationship, working together toward a common goal, but also assuming a common responsibility for the outcome. People’s referenda also help suppress corporate influence in law-making and corruption. Unfortunately, during an election campaign in B.C., the parties will tell us one thing, only to do a 180-degree turn once elected with a majority, because they know that the electorate cannot effect immediate changes to government decisions.
Our government must change the Referendum Act. Let us all turn the existing pseudo democracy in B.C. into a real democracy where citizens have the right to challenge the government on any issue by means of binding referenda or binding initiatives. Call your MLA.

Can you work it out, or is they time you ended it?
But sometimes it’s difficult to decide whether a prolonged duration of arguing and feeling frustrated and enraged is just a “rough patch”, or an indication that union has reached situation aim – that you have fallen out from enjoy with one another.
It’s easy to shrug down 2-3 weeks – and sometimes even period – of bad era inside union as a rough plot, wanting circumstances are certain to get better. But, in accordance with Ammanda vital, a partnership therapist and mind of solution high quality and clinical practice at associate, some behaviours or problems in your partnership could suggest that it’s significantly more than a rough area, and therefore the really love your when had each additional may possibly not be retrievable.
Take note: Ammanda’s suggestions will be based upon common connections, and must not be applied in scenarios including punishment of any sort.
Is harsh spots regular?
“Every union features crude spots, plus they are typical,” Ammanda says. “They can occur anytime and be about nothing. But, they may be about two different people, therefore you should be familiar with the part you have got probably played with it. It is more about approaching what’s happening when you look at the connection.
“know about the part you’ve got probably played inside it”
“You might have come functioning late, or coming room and being snappy for example. Frequently, what individuals are making an effort to say [when they react that way] try, ‘i want your own help and help’, nonetheless they don’t in fact place it this way. Getting sad and mad are often the ways we program anyone we’re unsatisfied. It’s simpler if you’re able to request that directly. Because normally this “rough plot” will become program, and if it’sn’t resolved that’s typically when it contributes to anyone getting unsatisfied.”
Exactly what constitutes a crude area?
It certainly varies according to you and what are you doing in those days, Ammanda describes. “Consumers will frequently reach me personally and state they’re creating a crude plot after a child, because they’re acquiring no rest and intercourse is actually a distant mind. If so, it’s about having the ability to observe what’s going on at that time sits into a wider visualize, and understanding you will find light at the end associated with the canal. But, you ought to be in a position to support and help both throughout that journey if you wish to get through the crude patch.”
She explains its if the communication actually starts to digest, it can easily being a bigger problem which could need handling with professional assistance.
Very first, know what “being crazy” method for you
Ammanda states before we could ascertain whenever we’ve fallen out from appreciation with someone, we ought to ask our selves how exactly we personally establish staying in enjoy. “everyone typically mention it feeling butterflies and pleasure, having great intercourse, being unable to get notice off your partner, and visualising time using them. They are the middle in your life and existence.”
But, as relations aged and create, it really is normal for many thoughts to pass away down quite. Instead, they get substituted for a deeper information and knowing about this lover. Thus, if you have ceased acquiring those butterflies, it doesn’t indicate which you don’t like see your face any longer. It simply implies that probably which you’ve moved to another stage when you look at the partnership – one that a lot of people discover much more rewarding.” Thus before you could know if it’s a rough area and/or end, remind your self just what in adore methods to your.
How can you determine if the love moved?
“often [you can query if you’ve fallen out of really love with somebody] after a significant show like an affair, and everything planning you had you now understand you probably didn’t has. Often it is generally because you discover something out about a partner that causes that severely question everything have,” Ammanda clarifies.
“partners can reconnect in order to find one another once again”
“often I see individuals coming along feeling whether they’re in no way certain that they love their lover. It’s typically because life has had over, whether that’s young ones, or loved ones or perhaps the work/life balance. It’s today come to be very hard observe someone as somebody rather than just people to display the activities. Often, gender enjoys flown outside of the window and so they can’t recall the final times they achieved it.”
But it doesn’t necessarily mean the really love has gone, which isn’t finding its way back. “it is often your situation that people can reconnect in order to find both again,” she says.
If you are consistently creating doubts regarding the relationship
Creating doubts in regards to the connection and questioning when it’s best for your needs, is very typical Ammanda says. “There’ll feel bumps on the way and simply as you starting experience some thing isn’t functioning does not mean the connection is finished. What it really does suggest though is that some thing changed, and also you ought to do things about it.”
Needless to say, you are likely to look for assistance whilst still being decide to end the connection. But Ammanda states generally, “when anyone would deal with the problems at an early on level, they’re going onto reinvigorate the partnership and carry on such that’s pleased for both of these.”
Whenever certainly one of your changed as someone
Its extremely common for relationship counsellors to see couples which feeling they’ve basically changed since they have with regards to mate. She clarifies, “that may be this 1 partner has actually considerably altered and feels their unique partner featuresn’t changed in tandem with these people. Or both couples might feeling they’ve both fundamentally altered and can’t fulfill each others’ requires – mental and/or sexual – any longer. Even though you can go over exactly what those goals might-be, perhaps impossible to revive everything you have in the first place.”
When it is more than just a harsh spot
But, naturally, often the adore really isn’t retrievable. “in this situation, lovers have to decide what to accomplish about this. Carry out they want to inhabit a relationship that’s not considering prefer? And rather stay together in a companionship?” she says. “Some people know if any relationship isn’t meeting an adequate amount of their demands that they have to conclusion it.”
After your day, everyone’s needs and borders are very different in a relationship. Deciding whether the rough spot is truly something extra, relates to what you would like and need in a relationship. Despite, it’s always helpful to find professional advice.

United States District Court, S.D. Ohio, Western Division, Dayton
H. Rice District Judge
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS
L. OVINGTON UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Phyllis Baldwin brings this case challenging the Social
Security Administration's denial of her application for
period of disability and Disability Insurance Benefits. She
applied for benefits on January 6, 2012, asserting that she
could no longer work a substantial paid job. Administrative
Law Judge (ALJ) Scott R. Canfield concluded that she was not
eligible for benefits because she is not under a
“disability” as defined in the Social Security
Appeals Council denied Plaintiff's request for review,
and she filed a previous action in United States District
Court for the Southern District of Ohio. See Baldwin v.
Comm'r of Soc. Sec., No. 3:15-cv-419, Doc. #s 8-9
(S.D. Ohio April 21, 2016). Upon the parties' Joint

The end of the growing season is upon us here at Straight Arrow Homestead, and I am really surprised at our harvest! It makes me fall in love with the idea of being self sufficient all over again!
We didn’t get much from the garden, unfortunately. In Utah we are in a drought, and in my part of the state we have run out of water for irritating every year for about 4 years. I was just glad to have the few ears of corn and what we got in the greenhouse. We definitely count ourselves lucky! Honestly, the greenhouse saved a lot of water. So we put the plants that need the most in there. The tomatoes and peppers grew really well, and we got a decent yield.
Fall also gives us a great opportunity to reflect and plan. Since this is our first year, we learned a lot from mistakes and miscalculations. But it seems like we have a system figured out now, and we have big plans for next year!
On the agenda right now is the following :
- Build a new greenhouse. The one we have doesn’t hold up well enough for our rocky mountain winter weather. We are planning a wooden frame so we can give the roof enough pitch, to help the snow melt so we don’t have issues with it collapsing again.
- Build a root cellar. We gotta figure out where to put it so we have winter storage for all the apples and potatoes.
- Build a smokehouse. This is critical, since we plan to raise our meat and hunt. We need a place to cure them, and that seems like a simple, but ongoing solution.
- Build raised beds and hügel-mounds. We built a mini one this year and I’ve been really happy with the results. We mostly need these for water conservation.
- Start working on a pole barn. This is going to take a LOT of time, the parts are expensive. And while my husband and I both work, we don’t make a lot of extra money. But if we start now, and build a little art a time it shouldn’t be too bad.
- Expand and fix the chicken run.
- Repair the rabbit hutch.
- Mulch the perennials and trees
I’m sure there is more I’m forgetting, but that’s the list for now.
Here are some images of the projects from earlier this month –
Spreading sand to even out the ground and building a place to park our 4 wheelers and trailers.
Miss Molly and Smeagle eating the apples the deer have knocked off the trees.
That wraps it up for now. We are heading out after deer, hoping for the meat to help feed us through the next year.

ABOUT THE ART
A low-poly portrait of the late Rik Mayall.
Richard Michael "Rik" Mayall (7 March 1958 – 9 June 2014) was an English comedian, writer, actor and voice-over artist. Mayall was best known for his comedy partnership with Ade Edmondson, for his energetic "post-punk" style of acting, and as a pioneer of alternative comedy in the early 1980s. He appeared in numerous cult classic sitcoms, including The Young Ones (1982–84), Filthy Rich & Catflap (1987), The New Statesman (1987–94), Bottom (1991–95), and Blackadder, and in the comedy films Drop Dead Fred (1991) and Guest House Paradiso (1999).
At the time of his death, Mayall was described by Danny Cohen, director of BBC Television, as a "truly brilliant" comedian with a unique stage presence, whose "fireball creativity" and approach to sitcom had inspired a generation of comedy stars.

The Importance of Separate Backup Infrastructure
Many companies assume that if they pay for a backup security infrastructure, their business-critical data will be stored and secured on a separate cloud – but this is often not the case.
Instead, most alternative cloud backup solutions store your backed-up data on the same public cloud infrastructure that hosts your primary data, which potentially exposes your company to several different risks.
In their Cloud Computing study published in 2020, Foundry reported the top challenges associated with public clouds to be:
- Lack of cloud security skills or expertise (30%)
- Compliance and governance (30%)
- Security challenge and data privacy issues (38%)
- Controlling cloud costs (40%)
By choosing to store your backup data in the public cloud, all of your data (including your only backup copy) is being managed under the same administrative infrastructure. And this is still the case if you choose a different data center for your backup that is separate from your primary data.
The solution: A "true backup" cloud independent of the public cloud
We believe that offering “true backup” means we can guarantee that your company’s backup data is not stored in the same logical infrastructure as your primary data – regardless of the SaaS application or workload needing protection.
With Keepit, your company’s backup data is stored on an independent cloud infrastructure in two mirrored data centers in the data center region of your choice, ensuring data availability and sovereignty.
Keepit is the only dedicated SaaS data protection cloud to date – running on autonomous regional data centers, operating on separate hardware, and managed by trusted employees independent of any public cloud.
5 benefits of building and owning a vendor-independent backup cloud
Having a dedicated private cloud is a fundamental requirement for any legitimate backup solution. Choosing Keepit as your reliable, vendor-neutral backup solution compared to other third-party providers comes with considerable benefits for customers:
- Pandemic-proof: When the COVID-19 virus spread worldwide, the leading public cloud vendors could not handle customer workloads and pushed customers offline. Meanwhile, Keepit’s dedicated private cloud service continued business as usual.
- Accessible 24/7: With a dedicated backup cloud, you never lose access to your company’s information or worry about duplication or compressed data.
- Speedy: With Keepit, the licensing model is uncomplicated, allowing you to get up and running in no time. There are no API transaction fees, network fees, or storage consumption fees. Our intuitive and easy-to-use search tools make sure you can locate, preview, and restore data in seconds.
- Cost effective: The higher degree of control Keepit has over the supply chain means considerable cost-saving benefits and easily scalable options. As a Keepit customer, you don’t need to worry about storage consumption fees or hidden costs. Storage is included, and you can expect predictable and straightforward pricing.
- Constantly evolving: Unlike other third-party security and backup providers, we retain the freedom to innovate and develop our cloud storage technology behind the scenes—something that would not be possible if we were using a public cloud.
The final word: Keep your digital eggs in separate baskets
In the realm of backup, “divide” and “separate” are positive terms, and adhering to the 3-2-1 principle is the most effective way to safeguard your data by having it stored separately from your day-to-day operations.
The 3-2-1 principle of backup mandates that you must have one copy of your data off site. In the days of tape backup, where fire and theft were the only credible threats to your backup data, the off-site copy effectively ensured that your backup data would survive any calamity that could befall your primary data and your primary site.
In the cloud age, however, backups have become much more complicated: geographic dispersal is insufficient to ensure your data is secure, and hidden risks are introduced by relying on clouds that may be taken offline to protect the providers’ primary business interests.
You can read more about that in our Security Guide: Raising the Bar for Data Protection in the Cloud Era.

All this said, I still think it's worth buying if you are looking for more variety in your Whole 30 meals. I think the least complicated section is breakfast and lots of them look delicious. However, anticipate that this cookbook may surprise some people who were used to the recipes and format from the 30 Day Guide. This one is definitely more work. I would love to see one like the 30 Day Guide, with more one pot meals, "make it a meal" options, etc...
Since then, I've reintroduced legumes, soy, added sugar, and dairy back into my diet. Since I'm lactose intolerant, I was most afraid of dairy, but it seems as of my dairy intolerance has disappeared, which is an unexpected positive. I definitely sleep worse, though, and feel more bloated when I enjoy dairy or carbs with gluten. So going forward, I'll be eating these with more moderation than before.
When it comes to humans, we’re all just victims of our own biochemistry. Our brains are controlled and ruled by chemicals - from what we eat; to how and when we sleep; even to who we choose as a life partner. Biochemistry - or ‘biological chemistry’ - is concerned with all of the biochemical reactions which take place within our bodies and brains. This means that the simple act of eating a meal is actually composed of thousands of tiny...
It's that time of year again, when all of your friends and family members are making resolutions to be healthier in 2019. Expect to see lots of the following on Instagram in the next month: #DryJanuary, #NewYearNewYou, #Whole30. And for anyone looking to try the latter, I applaud you — and I encourage you to do it. I decided to give the much-buzzed-about Whole30 diet a try last November.
Downsides: Prepare for a bit of a rise in grocery cost. Prepared foods cost less than whole foods. This is American governmental ag subsidies in a nutshell. It's unfortunate and unfair, but true. Also, as others have mentioned, you will be in the kitchen more. Again, it helps if one of you cooks and the other cleans up. It's a little annoying to be sure, but the results are more than worth the annoyances. It is also very difficult to eat out. You pretty much are limited to places that are expensive and accommodating, delis where you know and trust the ingredients, or Chipotle. Again, the slight isolation (if you can do this or at least begin it when you have a little time to spare and don't have a lot of socializing) helped.
Peel/slice/dice all vegetables and store them in food storage containers in the refrigerator. Carrots, peppers, and potatoes should be stored in water to keep them from drying out and browning. Brussels sprouts should be stored in a dry container. This will drastically cut down on meal prep time each evening and will allow you to have fresh veggies on hand if you need a quick snack between meals.
A few days ago I was delighted to learn that Dr. Oz was going to again feature The Paleo Diet on his nationally syndicated television show along with one of my co-authors, Nell Stephenson, of The Paleo Diet Cookbook. I tuned into the Dr. Oz show and was happy about most of what I saw except for Chris Kresser, expounding upon the health virtues of a food group, beans and legumes, that definitely are not Paleo. Please read the following...
The Whole30 program is only 30 days, but it’s a very restrictive 30 days. You’re urged to eat real, whole foods, including lots of veggies, while carving out things like sugar, grains and dairy. There is no “cheating” – even a chew of sugar-free gum or splash of skim milk in your coffee sends you right back to day one so the body can completely heal from inflammatory foods, diet co-creators Melissa Hartwig and Dallas Hartwig say.A couple things you don’t have to worry about on the Whole30 plan are counting calories and weighing or measuring yourself. In fact, the plan forbids the latter in order to bring participants’ attention to the benefits of healthy eating outside of weight loss. If you usually go out to eat or order take-out, you’ll need to learn to meal prep, grocery shop (with a plan!) and cook. If you’re a social butterfly, you’ll need to strategize how to order water and carrot sticks at the bar instead of beer and wings – or stay home. Fortunately, the program’s resources suggest solutions to these and other conundrums that may pop up. What’s more, the program’s strong emphasis on social – much of it virtual – support can keep participants inspired and accountable.The Whole30 program is outlined neatly online, where followers can read FAQs, lists of foods that are and aren’t off-limits and download a program guide. Melissa Hartwig’s latest book, “Food Freedom Forever: Letting Go of Bad Habits, Guilt, and Anxiety Around Food,” details how to stay in control of food, rather than allowing it to control you, for a lifetime.
Glassman is proud of his role in all this, but the system puts him and CrossFit at a very real risk. As the world of CrossFit grows, as more businesses enter and profit, and his share of it becomes smaller, CrossFit's greatest success--gaining mainstream acceptance as exercise and a sport--could turn it generic, like baseball or skiing. "One of our greatest fears is becoming escalator," says Dale Saran, CrossFit's general counsel, referring to what was once a trademarked name brand of Otis Elevator. So, although Glassman keeps the CrossFit business model radically loose and open, he protects the brand name with an iron fist.
Food and Western Disease: Health and nutrition from an evolutionary perspective by Staffan Lindeberg (MD at Lund University in Sweden) is the newest book promoting the paleo diet. It covers the link between diet and disease in the Western world (all major diseases, including cancer, heart disease, obesity, stroke and dementia) and towards a greater knowledge of what can be defined as the optimal human diet. Benefits and risks are detailed. The Amazon reviews are all 5 stars. Especially read Susan Schenck's detailed review. You can read a preview at Google Books
[…] I don't like the word "diet", so I'll say that this is more a way of changing what you eat long-term. It's all based around what our ancestor hunter-gatherers would have eaten, and what we've evolved to be able to process and absorb. The very basic level of it, is that you don't eat carbohydrates, processed meats or sugars, and cut out dairy products. You instead eat plenty of fresh meat, fish, vegetables, fruits and nuts. You can still have oil, provided it's natural – so coconut, peanut & olive oil are all good. The good thing is that you're also allowed to take this to your own level – so if you want a couple of days off a week – say, weekends, you can do it & it will still be a lot healthier for you. This is a really helpful site I've used to make a note on my shopping list of what's allowed: The Ultimate Paleo Diet Food List | Ultimate Paleo Guide […]
Our ancestors didn't chase cows and chickens around in the wild. They hunted game, antelopes, buffalo, and probably some animals we've never heard of that are long extinct. Their meat was generally quite lean, and provided more healthy omega 3s than meats from modern day animals, even the grass-fed ones, according to Dr. Katz. Many of the plants that thrived back then are also extinct today, making it impossible to truly follow their meal plan, he says.
There is little argument over the health benefits of fruits and vegetables. They are chock-full of vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants. The only caveat for paleo dieters is that some vegetables are starchy (e.g., potatoes) and some fruits are higher in sugar (e.g., bananas). So, if you are trying to lose weight or watch your blood sugar levels, eat these in moderation. In fact, potatoes are banned from some strict versions of the diet.
For instance, the fat allowance of the diet may be problematic. “My biggest hang-up with the paleo diet is all of the saturated fats it promotes with all of the meats,” explains Holley, noting that you could look for a locally sourced meat, whose origin and method of raising you're aware of, as a healthier option. Saturated fat from meat has been linked with an increased risk of early death. (9)
I personally struggle on a regular basis because I’m much more interested in heavy strength training than anything else – and I’m one of those people who really likes seeing very linear graphs and results to my training, and I do want to specialize. I have a very hard time creating workout plans because with CrossFit, you never know what’s coming next.
To the outside world, though, as Glassman's company has exploded from a cult fitness website to a gym concept primed to have more locations than Curves by the end of 2013, CrossFit can appear risky, unhinged: Here is a fitness routine that has sent people to the hospital, overseen by people who may have had no more than two days of instruction. (Although every real trainer I met had considerable experience and was genuinely excellent, I attended the seminar and passed the test on my fourth day reporting this story. I am, believe me, no fitness savant.) And it's all led by a man who, in a 2006 CrossFit.com comment, wrote, "We have a therapy for injuries at CrossFit called STFU." As in, Shut the f-k up. That's enough to make even the most devoted laissez faire-ists get a little, well, Uncle Pukie.
For your body to enter ketosis, a good percentage of your calories (generally, somewhere between 60-80%, according to keto experts) needs to come from fats (this is why people frequently associate the Keto Diet with foods like bacon, even though most nutritionists say it's better to eat healthier items like avocados, nuts and seeds, eggs, and lean meats). The idea is that all of that fat-burning will help you lose weight, says Kizer.
Transformed cells adapt metabolism to support tumor initiation and progression. Specific metabolic activities can participate directly in the process of transformation or support the biological processes that enable tumor growth. Exploiting cancer metabolism for clinical benefit requires defining the pathways that are limiting for cancer progression and understanding the context specificity of metabolic preferences and liabilities in malignant cells. Progress toward answering these questions is providing new insight into cancer biology and can guide the more effective targeting of metabolism to help patients.

2013-09-03 15:05:55 - Limerick City has lost its ‘moderately littered’ tag and is now ‘clean to European norms’, according to the latest survey by Irish Business Against Litter (IBAL).
The survey was carried out by An Taisce, which is commissioned by IBAL to undertake the monitoring of litter in towns and cities throughout the Republic of Ireland under its ‘All Ireland Anti-Litter League’ campaign.
Limerick City this year rose from 35th to 22nd in the IBAL League of 42 surveyed Irish towns and cities, the highest ranking achieved by the City in the competition to date.
According to Mayor of Limerick Kathleen Leddin: “An Taisce’s survey of Limerick found that considerable progress has been made by those who live in, visit and manage the City in terms of litter management. I believe that Limerick City Council and local communities have worked very well together in combating litter, which can have a
negative effect on the local economy and tourism. This collaborative approach is particularly evident in such community schemes as Limerick Going for Gold, the National TidyTowns Competition, Pride of Place and the Council’s Environment Improvement Grant Initiative.”
“I would ask everyone who lives in and visits Limerick City to play their part in supporting a cleaner environment. Community participation is key to this objective being met and I want to commend the excellent work that has already been carried out by local community groups, the business community and the staff of Limerick City Council,” the Mayor added.
As part of the IBAL Anti-Litter League, An Taisce monitors towns of population 6,000 and over, independently and in accordance with international grading standards. The programme is run in conjunction with the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government.
