K2-D3 is an excellent adjunct to one's bone care regimen and general health. Menaquinone-7 is a natural natto-derived Vitamin K2. It is documented for its role in calcium metabolism benefiting bone density and cardiovascular health. Contrary to vitamin K1, MK-7 offers far superior bioavailability and bioactivity due to its extended half-life in circulation. With the addition of D3, this supplement promotes bone calcium via 2 essential mechanisms. K2-D3 offers optimal dosing of these bioactive vitamins and should be considered equally as important to bone health as calcium itself.

Intercell launches Jeev vaccine in India
Austrian biotech group Intercell has launched its Japanese encephalitis vaccine in India, and hopes to win approval for other Asian countries, it said on Thursday.business Updated: Sep 13, 2012 12:52 IST
Austrian biotech group Intercell has launched its Japanese encephalitis vaccine in India, and hopes to win approval for other Asian countries, it said on Thursday.
The company had expected the Indian launch of the vaccine - its first product on the market, which helped it swing to a profit in the second quarter - in the first half.
The vaccine, which will be called Jeev in India and is known as Ixario in other markets, is already available for adult travellers and military personnel in Europe, north America, Hong Kong, Singapore, Israel and Australia.
"We have taken a major step forward in achieving our goal of rolling out this Japanese Encephalitis vaccine in endemic countries with a high medical need in order to protect children and adults," Intercell Chief Executive Thomas Lingelbach said.
The mosquito-borne disease, which can cause fever, convulsions and coma, is most prevalent in southeast Asia and the Far East, and is more likely to kill children than adults. Tens of thousands of cases are reported annually in Asia.
Intercell said it expected the approval for other Asian territories through the World Health Organisation, and said Swiss drugmaker Novartis would be responsible for marketing and distribution in those countries.
Novartis owns 14.9% of Intercell.
In India, Jeev was launched by Intercell's partner Biological E., which makes the vaccine at a plant in Hyderabad. First deliveries are expected in the second half of September, with full-scale commercial manufacturing shortly afterwards.

It was a hot summer’s day in Amsterdam, and England’s cricketers were intent on making their own fun.
And so, on June 17, 2022, they set about posting a world record score of 498/4 in an ODI game against their beleaguered hosts, the Netherlands.
Jos Buttler led the way with 166 – posting the second fastest ODI century in history by an Englishman, and failing to break his own record by just one ball.
There were also centuries for Phil Salt and Dawid Malan, while Liam Livingstone notched England’s fastest ever ODI half-century off just 17 balls.
In amongst all of the carnage, captain Eoin Morgan was out for a miserable golden duck!
England broke their own ODI record set back in 2016, which in turn had trumped their best mark set two years prior to that. These Lions really do know how to put a big score on the board….
Highest Ever ODI Cricket Scores
|Sri Lanka||Netherlands||443/9||July ’06|
|South Africa||West Indies||439/2||January ’15|
It could be argued, perhaps, that England’s former record set against Australia is more impressive – they are a recognised test-playing nation, after all. That day, there were big hundreds for Alex Hales and Jonny Bairstow in their country’s barnstorming win at Trent Bridge as they posted a mammoth 481/6.
That came less than two years after the previous record was beaten by a solitary run – Hales again the catalyst at Trent Bridge against Pakistan, smiting 171 from just 122 balls.
Unfortunately for them, the Netherlands have now conceded two of the four biggest ODI scores in history.
What are the Highest Test Innings Scores In History?
With five days to bat for, in theory, it’s no wonder that some astronomical innings scores have been compiled in test cricket.
Twice the 900-run mark has been breached, with the most recent also being the highest – Sri Lanka posting a gargantuan 952/6 declared against India back in 1997….they could even have gone on to breach the 1000-mark for the first time ever had they not closed their innings prematurely.
There was a treble-hundred for Sanath Jayasuriya, although his effort of 340 pales in comparison to the record individual score in tests – Brian Lara’s 400 not out against England in 2004. There was also a double-hundred for Roshan Mahanama and a century from Aravinda Da Silva in a game which, shock horror, ended in a draw.
The other occasion that the 900-run ceiling has been smashed came at the hands of England back in 1938. They hammered 903/7 declared against Australia at The Oval, although in those games test matches were ‘timeless’ – that is, when the contest had to end with a winner, and the action continued accordingly.
That should not detract, however, from the extraordinary achievement of Len Hutton, whose score of 364 remains an English record in test cricket to this day. Eventually, after more than 400 overs of cricket, England would eventually bowl out Australia twice to clinch victory.
What are the Highest T20 Scores In History?
First introduced as a format of cricket in 2003, it goes without saying that there’s been less time for the record books to be torn up and re-written.
But even so, some astonishing scores have been posted in the shortened format of the game – not least the T20 scoring record, which was contributed by Afghanistan against Ireland in February 2019.
The Afghans scored at a remarkable 13.9 runs per over in their 278/3, with Hazratullah Zazai’s score of 162 not out off just 62 balls still the third highest mark in T20 cricket today.
It should be noted that the 278 from Afghanistan actually ties the highest T20 score, but the other instance – Czech Republic bashing Turkey around back in August 2019 – was not in a recognised international.
Domestically, the highest score was contributed by the Melbourne Stars against the Hobart Hurricanes in the Big Bash of 2022. Their tally of 273/2 was given a major piggy-back by Glenn Maxwell’s score of 154 not out, which included 22 fours and four sixes.
What is perhaps most surprising is that the highest individual innings in a T20 game – Chris Gayle’s scarcely-believable 175 not out for the Royal Challengers Bangalore against Pune Warriors in IPL 2013 – did not form part of the highest team score. RCB would ‘only’ post 263/5 on that fateful day.

New Orleans-area gambling establishments brought in $51.6 million during March, a 119% increase over what the properties brought in during COVID marred March 2020.
Statewide, the 13 riverboat casinos, Harrah’s land-based casino and four racinos brought in $225.1 million during March, according to figures released Monday by the Louisiana Gaming Control Board. That’s a 132% increase over what 15 riverboats, Harrah’s and four racinos generated during March 2020.

The declaration is part of a broader multilateral deal under which North Korea, which apparently detonated an atomic device in October 2006, had agreed to abandon all its nuclear programmes in exchange for economic and diplomatic incentives.
Kim said: "The US needs more time, while North Korea's preparations are almost done."
Earlier last month, Christopher Hill, the top US negotiator with Pyongyang, said North Korea appeared close to making the declaration.
The declaration was held up also partly because of the North's reluctance to answer US questions that it transferred nuclear technology to other countries, notably Syria, and had a secret programme to enrich uranium for weapons.
Once the declaration has been produced, the US is expected to drop North Korea from its "terrorism" blacklist and end sanctions imposed under the US Trading With the Enemy Act.
North and South Korea, the US, China, Japan and Russia have been involved in long-running "six-party" talks aimed at curtailing North Korea's nuclear plans, a process that intensified after Pyongyang's nuclear weapon test in 2006.


Good evening and thank you all for coming today. I have just concluded my first official ten- day mission as Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Myanmar. The objective of my visit was to assess the human rights situation in Myanmar through a better understanding of the realities on the ground. Accordingly, I sought to engage constructively with a broad spectrum of stakeholders, including Government officials, political, religious and community leaders, civil society representatives, as well as victims of human rights violations and members of the international community. I was pleased to have had a frank and open exchange of views on a range of matters related to my mandate. And I am grateful that many were so forthcoming in their views on sensitive issues.
Today, I would wish to highlight some preliminary observations from my mission and from additional background research. These issues, along with others, will be elaborated in more detail in the report I will present to the 69th session of the General Assembly later this year.
I would like to warmly thank the Government of Myanmar for its excellent cooperation and flexibility throughout my visit. I would particularly like to note with appreciation the efforts made to ensure my safety and that of my team, including in challenging circumstances. I would also like to thank the United Nations Country Team for giving their full support to this mission and for their invaluable assistance and advice in organizing my programme of meetings.
In Nay Pyi Taw, I met with the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Director –General of the ASEAN Affairs Department in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Attorney General, the Chief Justice and members of the Supreme Court, the Chair and members of the Constitutional Tribunal, the Minister of Defence, the Minister of Border Affairs, the Minister of Information, the Minister of Social Welfare, Relief and Resettlement, the Minister of Labour, Employment and Social Security, the Minister of Immigration and Population, the Deputy Minister of Education, the Minister of Health and the Minister of Home Affairs. I also met with Ministers U Soe Thein and U Aung Min in the President’s Office, and the Legal, Political and Economic Advisers to the President. Additionally, I met with the Union Election Commission. I was grateful that many provided detailed information highlighting the sequence of events and the context in which certain policy decisions were made or actions were undertaken.
Also in Nay Pyi Taw, I met with the members of various parliamentary committees of the Amyotha and Pyithu Hluttaws and with the Parliamentary Constitutional Amendment Implementation Committee.
I also had a meeting with Daw Aung San Suu Kyi.
In Yangon, I met with members of the Interfaith Friendship Group of Myanmar and the Interfaith Dialogue Group, the Myanmar National Human Rights Commission, as well as with civil society actors working on a wide range of human rights issues, media professionals, lawyers and lawyers groups, members of the 88 Generation Student Group and released prisoners of conscience. I visited Insein Prison and met with six prisoners of conscience: Dr. Tun Aung, U Saw Gay They Mu, U Chit Ko, U Saw War Lay, U Htin Kyaw and U Nay Linn Dwe. I also held meetings with the United Nations Country Team, the Humanitarian Country Team and the diplomatic community.
During my mission, I also visited Rakhine State, Kachin State and Mandalay Division. I will elaborate on those visits shortly.


Western Quebec school Board Director General announces retirement
Mike Dubeau, General Director of the Western Quebec School Board (WQSB) since 2017, has officially announced his retirement. Throughout his career, he served as Director of Education, Technology, and Human Resources, and overseeing the departments of Transportation and School Organization.
“During his 6 years as Director General, Mr. Dubeau has led the school board with transparency and professionalism. He has fostered a culture of trust and care for all, while never losing sight of our core purpose or our responsibility to our learners,” said WQSB Chairman Wayne Daly, in a letter announcing Dubeau’s retirement. “I would like to thank Mr. Dubeau for his commitment and dedication to the school board, to our students and to our communities.”
When asked what led him to a career in education Dubeau said he was the youngest of eight children in a tight knit and supportive family. “I grew up in an environment throughout my formative years where I was supported to be the best I could be. This led me to want to do the same, it felt like a natural progression.”
Dubeau started his career teaching at what was called Pontiac School Board at the time, and he then went on to become a school administrator with the WQSB in 1998. Later in 2008, he started in board-level administration.
As principal of Pontiac high school, Dubeau created a welding program that helped students get their welding certificate and high school diploma. “We were able to reach a whole group of students for whom school didn’t fit, it gave them something to be excited about at school,” said Dubeau.
Later, as a Director of Education, Dubeau developed and led a Teacher Induction Program. The program aims to support teachers so they can deliver high quality education. “My personal mission statement is to help people be the best they can be,” said Dubeau.
“I am most proud of the accomplishments of our students and our staff. The successes were things like playing volleyball with students or watching a student that struggled in history pass the final exam,” said Dubeau, when asked about his career’s accomplishments.
Dubeau will stay on until June to help with the transition to the new Director general. The WQSB are accepting applications internally and externally to fill the Director General position by the end of June 2023. The application deadline is April 7th.

‘Russian hackers leaks deliberately false information’
Russian hackers modify documents that they stole from, for example, America or France. The documents, leaks them together with real material.
In that way mislead the public, say researchers from the Citizen Lab of the university of Toronto in a new report.
In the report is a great hackcampagne described, which is linked to Russian groups. Over two hundred persons were the target of the campaign, including people from the Russian media and a former Russian prime minister.
Among others, journalist and author David satter will take, in his work, especially on Russia to turn to, was hacked. His e-mails were stolen, but also modified before they leaked. As soon as the documents on a Russian activist website came up, used the state media the erroneous information according to the researchers, to a conspiracy with the CIA to invent.
“Russia has a long history with misleading information,” says Ron Deibart, a professor of political science and leader of the study, compared with Wired. “This is the first cyberspionagezaak where I aware in which custom documents to be compared with the original versions.”

Saying it wants to make an example of unlicensed contractors and businessmen who thumb their noses at the law, the Broward County Consumer Protection Board Wednesday levied heavy fines against tradesmen and businessmen who violated the county's consumer code.
Contracting without a license "is one of the biggest (consumer) offenses in this county," said M. Ross Shulmister, chairman of a three-member panel that heard cases on behalf of the board.
He and his two colleagues levied a $500-a-day penalty against part-time painter Ken Borgman of Lauderhill for every day he continues to work without a county certificate of competency.
They also imposed a $500-a-day fine on Neil Wolf and his corporation, Fabulous Fiberguard Inc., after hearing testimony that he was intentionally stalling and dodging the panel. The corporation was doing business as D. Barry Convertibles and Sofas at 9470 State Road 84, Fort Lauderdale.
"This will be a deterrent to others," Ben Portner said.
Shulmister, Portner and board member George Baer also levied a $75-per-day, per-count fine against painter Walter P. Warenda Jr. and his firm, Budget Professional Painting Inc., on a seven-count complaint made by Mildred Smith of Davie.
Smith accused Warenda of abandoning a $1,650 painting contract before it was half done. The board ordered the painter to refund $200 of her $760 deposit or face the fine.
Neither Warenda nor Borgman appeared for Wednesday's hearing, but both said afterward that they do not hold competency licenses as required to work as tradesmen in the county.
Borgman said he had received no notice of the hearing. Warenda said he thought the hearing was scheduled for Friday. Both denied the charges against them and said they would have attended the hearing had they known it was Wednesday.
The panel members said both men were properly served notice of the hearing by the Consumer Affairs Division, where the charges were filed.
Not having a county license "isn't going to stop me from working," Warenda said. He said he applied for a certificate of competency twice, but failed the tests because "I just block out" during them.
"It's head hunting (by the panel). That's what it sounds like," Warenda said.
Borgman, who said he only does painting as a sideline business, said he would "do what I have to do" to avoid being fined.
The panelists saved their harshest comments for Wolf, the furniture store operator.
They found he violated the consumer code by failing to refund a $386 deposit to Robert Caisse of Fort Lauderdale. Caisse had asked for his money back a year ago when Wolf could not obtain the color fabric his customer had ordered for a custom-made bed set.
"This man thinks you have no power, and I want you to show him you do," Caisse said.

Twenty-five-year-old Maine resident John Bennett was arrested on Wednesday for attempting to cross the border illegally into Canada. No, he wasn’t desperately craving Timbits or attempting to spot a glimpse of shirtless Justin Trudeau: Bennett had been trying to reach his pregnant Canadian girlfriend and was previously turned away at a border crossing due to the mischief charges he was facing in the United States.
In the face of adversity, he did the next best thing: He bought an air mattress at Walmart, inflated it, and tried to float across the St. Croix River. Lawyer Peter Thorn, who’s representing the federal Public Prosecution Service of Canada, told CityNews that “he said [his Canadian girlfriend] had an ex-boyfriend who was threatening her, but that hasn’t been confirmed by the other party.”
Bennett was sentenced to two months in jail on Thursday, but, most notably, may be the first man in history whose “girlfriend who lives in Canada” actually exists.

If we assume that both of those above statements are true than we must ask ourselves these two questions:
1. Is it really that important to have trust?
2. How much trust needs to be earned?
During my "Techniques for Success Group", I asked the individuals, "Why is it important to trust somebody?" The response I got was that of a crowd that did not speak the same language as me, silence. I decided on switching up the question and asked the group, "Why is it bad to trust somebody?", and suddenly they knew what to say.
Within 10 seconds I received feedback that would make you truly believe that trust is something horrible you want to stay away from.
"Trusting people gets you hurt"
"You get screwed over"
"People take advantage of you"
"You become weaker to other people"
The human mentality to pursue pleasure (instant gratification) and avoid pain has made even the ability to trust a painful thing. So what needs to happen? In order to reestablish our trust in trust, we must follow the "Top 2 Ways to Improve Trust".
I. Finally give ourselves some credit!
Although we may believe that others need to "earn your trust", you give out enough for free. Humans inherently want to love and be loved by others. This allows us to trust people right away. Of course, the degree of trust and the events that can diminish or ignite it can vary greatly, but as a whole, we innately want to trust other humans.
Have you said hi to a stranger in the past 30 days, had a conversation with somebody you didn't know too well, or played on a sports team before? If you said yes to any of these questions, you are guilty of instilling trust into another human instantly. We do this all of the time, and that is ok, even great at times. Understanding that there is a standard amount of instant trust you allow for each individual (will vary per individual) and learning how to build on it will allow you to fulfill your need of connection/love far greater and faster than before.
GIVE YOURSELF CREDIT!
II. The Million Dollar Question to building trust.
After acknowledging and accepting that you allow other individuals to have a small amount of "instant" trust and giving yourself credit for it, you must ask yourself this question.
If you were to be paired with a complete stranger and placed in a room for 1 hour with the goal being to leave the room 1 hour later trusting each other the most possible, what would you be doing during that hour?
This simple question that is easy for some and near impossible for others will create a cheat sheet for easy ways to develop secure connections and trust.
Share in the comments section your
answer to the question.

Moldavia State Publishing House
The Moldavia (Moldovan) State Publishing House was formed after 1940. Its offices were based in the capital city of Chişinău (Kishinev) and in Bacău. The Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic was the first state in history formed on the basis of nationality, a term used by the Soviet Union at the time. The republic was formed in August 1940 by combining Bessarabia (a historical region in Eastern Europe) with parts of the former Moldavian Autonomous Republic in Ukraine.

A Tribe Called Quest member Phife Dawg’s life was tragically cut short in 2016 when he passed away due to complications related to type one diabetes. Even just one year after he passed, memorials, tributes, and remembrances were still pouring out in celebration of the legendary figure. Of course, there was the Tribe farewell album released in 2016 that included a few appearances from the late MC, but then rumblings began to stir that a posthumous album from Phife himself would be making its way into listeners hands at some point.
In late 2020, those rumblings became official and now a few songs have been released to help promote the album. First, the album title was revealed to be Forever, a fitting label for a posthumous release, and then the debut single “Nutshell Pt. 2” featuring Redman and Busta Rhymes was released in early February. An animated lyric video for that track followed up, and today, a second single has debuted. “French Kiss Deux” features J. Dilla’s younger brother Illa J and is an homage to Montreal, Canada.
Produced by Potatohead People-produced, the song hews closely to its title and focuses on a potential romantic connection. Listen to the track below and look for the full album Forever coming out later this year.

Consumers who have the means of purchasing food produced in quantities have been advised to do so because there is going to be a food shortage in the country in the coming months.
According to the Peasant Farmers Association of Ghana, “consumers should purchase food items like maize, rice, millet, among others and store them because the prices are going to escalate”.
The Head of Programmes and Advocacy for Peasant Farmers Association of Ghana, Dr. Charles Nyaaba, gave the advice in an interview on 3FM’s Sunrise on Monday, March 14.
Dr. Nyaaba was speaking about the cost of living and the price hikes in the country, especially fuel prices.
“Those consumers who can buy and stock for 2023 and beyond should start doing so. I will advise them to buy things like maize, rice, millet; the prices are going to escalate because we are not getting fertilizer.”
Dr. Nyaaba said “increase in fuel prices have increased the cost of tractor services, while prices of other inputs have gone up”.
“Ghana should find a way to increase budget allocation to fertilizer subsidies. Things are hard now but if they can afford, they should buy and stock.”

- This study presents the complete genome sequence of Lactobacillus gasseri ATCC 33323, a neotype strain of human origin and a native species found commonly in the gastrointestinal tracts of neonates and adults. The plasmid-free genome was 1,894,360 bp in size and predicted to encode 1,810 genes. The GC content was 35.3%, similar to the GC content of its closest relatives, L. johnsonii NCC 533 (34%) and L. acidophilus NCFM (34%). Two identical copies of the prophage LgaI (40,086 bp), of the Sfi11-like Siphoviridae phage family, were integrated tandomly in the chromosome. A number of unique features were identified in the genome of L. gasseri that were likely acquired by horizontal gene transfer and may contribute to the survival of this bacterium in its ecological niche. L. gasseri encodes two restriction and modification systems, which may limit bacteriophage infection. L. gasseri also encodes an operon for production of heteropolysaccharides of high complexity. A unique alternative sigma factor was present similar to that of B. caccae ATCC 43185, a bacterial species isolated from human feces. In addition, L. gasseri encoded the highest number of putative mucus-binding proteins (14) among lactobacilli sequenced to date. Selected phenotypic characteristics that were compared between ATCC 33323 and other human L. gasseri strains included carbohydrate fermentation patterns, growth and survival in bile, oxalate degradation, and adhesion to intestinal epithelial cells, in vitro. The results from this study indicated high intraspecies variability from a genome encoding traits important for survival and retention in the gastrointestinal tract.

I've mentioned before that I'm not a big lover of fondant icing/ready roll/sugarpaste or whatever you want to call it, but that's not why I wanted this book. I wanted it so that I could decorate cakes beautifully for people who do like it. There are lots of ideas in this book, not all of them to my taste but there is plenty to inspire you to create your own designs. I really like the look of the butterfly cascade and hope that one day I can recreate it. I looked through this book with my boyfriend and as he loves fondant, I had to hold the book at arms length to stop him drooling all over it! The first and so far only thing that I've made from this book are the 'Pretty in Pink' biscuits on page 94. I used Ruth's recipe for vanilla sugar cookies on page 30 and used a 9cm cutter for the biscuits. This biscuit recipe is easy and it makes loads of biscuits, I might have rolled some of them a bit thin but I managed to get about 24 biscuits out of the dough. Having to roll the dough between sheets of greaseproof paper and then chill is a bit of a faff but the biscuits turned out well and didn't spread too much. I recut each of them after baking to get perfect circles and of course I ate the trimmings, who wouldn't? I made these biscuits for my boyfriend's Mum as it was her birthday last week and he suggested that I try something relatively simple from Ruth's book. Mainly so he could do 'quality control' before giving them to her. I gave her 16 biscuits in the end because I didn't have enough icing to cover all of them, plus I wanted to eat a couple of plain ones and they are delicious for something so simple. I did have one with all the icing on as well and it was a bit too sweet for me.
The original plan was to pipe decorating icing (i.e. icing sugar and water) over indentations I made with a flower cutter as per Ruth's design. I thought I would be able to do it. I was wrong.

history: The exact origins of water kefir grains (also known as ‘tibicos’) are unknown. They were documented from the late 1800s, but are speculated to have been around much longer. The origin most likely points to Mexico where water kefir grains were harvested from the Ountia cactus.
what is it ? Water kefir is a fermented, naturally carbonated drink, produced by culturing water using water kefir grains and sugar.
flavour: Semi-tart, mildly zesty and sweet
Water kefir grains are clusters of bacteria and yeast with a clump-like appearance. The bacteria and yeasts in the grains utilise the sugar in water kefir to produce lactic acid, carbon dioxide and a small amount of ethanol.
30g water kefir grains
20g cane sugar
800ml filtered water (room temperature)
wooden or plastic spatula
clip top bottle
Store in the fridge for up to a month unopened. Once opened, best consumed within 30 days.
Without the sugar there is no fermentation. The sugar in water kefir is what the culture feeds on as it ferments. As it does so, the kefir grains consume the sugars and convert them to lactic acid and carbon dioxide. You can use less sugar than the recipe recommends, but we don’t suggest going below 5% of the total volume of your mixture as the ferment may not take hold.
Yes, they naturally change shape. If not fed consistently they will be smaller and sand-like, if nourished by being fed often, they will grow into larger clumps.
It is not possible to successfully exchange one for the other as the specific strains of microorganisms in milk kefir and water kefir are uniquely equipped to thrive off different sugars (lactose vs. glucose).
Place the grains into the fresh sugar water and put them in the fridge in a covered container. They can rest in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
Yes, it is normal for the liquid to turn cloudy as it ferments.
Not necessarily, however certain sugars are better for water kefir grains as they’re easier for the microbes to process. We use unrefined cane sugar, though brown sugar and even honey will all work, each add their distinctive flavour to your brew. Refined sugar will feed your kefir grains for a period, but it’s lacking in some of the complex organic molecules and minerals you might find in other sugars.
Absolutely! Water kefir can take whole chunks of fresh or dried fruits which will lend their flavour to the brew. When it has finished fermenting, you can simply strain out the solids and separate them from the grains. Generally, think about adding 20% of the volume of your water kefir in fresh fruit (cut up into a medium dice), or 10% in dried fruits.
Great additions for fresh fruits include berries, stone fruits like apples or pears, or tropical fruits like mango and pineapple. Feel free to even substitute some of the water/sugar mixture for fruit juices if you so desire. There’s lots of room to be creative.
Check out our strawberry and lemongrass water kefir recipe.
*Fermented foods may not be suitable for everyone, for example, if you are immunocompromised. Speak to your medical professional if you have any concerns.

Fabrice Muamba no longer critical
LONDON -- English soccer player Fabrice Muamba began breathing independently and responding to family members on Monday, showing significant signs of recovery in intensive care two days after suffering a cardiac arrest during a match.
The 23-year-old Bolton midfielder collapsed on the field just before halftime at Tottenham on Saturday. Initial attempts to resuscitate him were unsuccessful, and his heart started beating on its own again only later in the hospital.
For two days, amid ...

Baker first ran for governor in 2010 but came in second in a three-way race against Democratic incumbent Gov. Deval Patrick and independent former state Treasurer Tim Cahill. Patrick is not running for a third term, and former Lt. Gov. Tim Murray has previously announced he would not seek the position.
Chapman said there is a side to Baker other than just politics and business.
“He’s an incredibly wonderful family man who has dear and close friends who support him,” Chapman said. His core group of friends recognizes his leadership abilities. Even though his son, A.J., a former football standout, has graduated Swampscott High, Baker continues to go to games to support Big Blue, Chapman said.
In his video, Baker also struck themes of the economy and jobs, improving schools and the safety of communities. He spoke about the need for “bipartisan leadership” to help ignite the state’s economy and promote small business.
“I can do it, because I’ve done it before,” Baker said. He touted his governmental roles as state Secretary of Administration and Finance and Health and Human Services Secretary in the 1990s under former Govs. Bill Weld and Paul Cellucci. In the time Baker worked under those administrations, the state erased a $1 billion deficit, created 250,000 jobs and led the way for Education Reform, he said.
As CEO of Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, Baker brought the company out of state receivership to become a top-rated health care firm. After losing to Patrick in 2010, Baker took a job as an entrepreneur-in-residence with the venture capital firm General Catalyst Partners in Cambridge. His focus was on midsize health care services firms, according to the firm’s website.
In politics, he served one three-year term as a Swampscott selectman.
“I am really excited,” said Ben Adner, a Swampscott resident and Danvers businessman who is a Baker supporter and friend. “I think he will make a huge difference in the state. He knows Massachusetts politics inside and out; he knows the details of how to run the office.”

This is a simplified version of the Classic Italian Bolognese Sauce. Full of flavor but you can whip this up in 30 minutes for dinner any night of the week.
Here are a few additional Italian inspired recipes you might enjoy:
- 500 g (1 lb) of quality ground beef (max 15% fat) or 350 g (3/4 pound) Italian Sausage
- 1 Small Carrot
- 1 Celery Stick
- 1 Medium Onion
- 2 Cloves Garlic
- 12 oz can diced tomatoes
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- Seasoning (black pepper, basil, oregano, thyme, balsamic vinegar, sugar) to taste
- Grate or finely chop the carrot and celery (celeriac), onion and garlic. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat, add the vegetables, and sauté gently until softened. Make sure the garlic doesn’t burn or it will become bitter.
- Add the minced beef and the salt and sauté until browned at medium to high heat. Then add the red wine and allow the alcohol to evaporate.
- Then add the tomato paste and tomatoes. Add only enough of the chopped tomatoes so the sauce does not become too runny. Allow the sauce to simmer gently for about 15 minutes over medium to low heat.
- Finally season the sauce with pepper, basil and other herbs, and balance the taste if necessary with more salt, a pinch of sugar or a drop of balsamic vinegar.
Pin it for later

If 2011 is your year to gain financial independence by mastering the internet, our Five Days In January Bootcamp is your guaranteed step to accomplish that.
I was watching an exchange between MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow and Daily News’ Jon Stewart, when one of Jon’s observations hit me like a brick. He disagreed with Maddow on her statement that they were both in the same game of distributing news as entertainment. Stewart however considers himself “yelling from the stands“, while Maddow is operating on the Playing field.
With that observation I realized that news as a sellable item has come full circle. In the early days of exchange, news was an item in instant action, usually directly related to danger. Smoke signals, marathon man messengers, wild pony rides, news had an life threatening urgency. When the industrial revolution came about news expanded into longer term information. The telegraph challenged every horse and buggy or locomotive on their importance in the cycle of news, and the telephone took out the telegraph. Now that the phone has become digital the original media that brought us news have lost their relevance. Both Maddow and Stewart realize that they are not in the news business, because the essence of unbiased News is now Internet Territory, as in a 140 character newsbit on Twitter that says: G-20 in South Korea closed without decisions. That part was the news; what follows after that are nothing more than opinions, educated guesses and politically colored viewpoints, reporting to a specified audience if you like.
With the global internet speed, former “newspapers” try to maintain the resemblance of news distribution, but in essence their content boils down to triple time chewed and re-hashed opinions of events that were mostly covered with a ideological predisposition. I do regret that there are only a handful of former ‘news’papers left that have the financial ability to publish investigative reporting that may qualify as news.
But even though I have to admit that I hardly ever watch TV News or read a newspaper anymore, I’m still on information overload, caused by the thousands of information sites and immediate news sources that engulf me on the internet. Being bombarded with questions, statements, rumors and opinions about whether the economy is improving, or crashing, whether inflation is going to kill off our last nest eggs, should I buy gold or should I buy oil, or should I buy both. Where should I buy it? If the price of gold was $900 an ounce in August of 2009 and passed $1,400 an ounce last week, why do I pay $1,600 and am I buying a bubble run or will gold and silver go much higher? And if I buy, do I keep it at home, or at the bank and should I insure it? If I keep it in a bank depository, will Washington claim it like they did in 1933 and consider it an act of Patriotic Homeland Security for me to accept a useless dollar amount in return? What does it mean and who is right when issues like deleveraging and deflation projections for the next decade, attack my retirement nest egg?
Should I drink coffee, eat red meat and drink a glass of red wine or is it all just badly processed junk for my body? Is it safe to vacation in Mexico and what about the price for a European Vacation? What is a staycation? What?? Oh just staying home but visit a different local spot every day. How about an altercation…is that an alternative vacation?
In my ‘circle of friends’ we keep encouraging each other with the euphemistic expression “We’re living in interesting times”, and everyone enigmatically smiles as if it is old Chinese philosophy at the helm, guiding us through the rough times, always chanting Hope, Hope.
Crap! We’re living in dangerous times, escalating daily into the abyss of insecurity, desperation for many and most of all clueless on what the future will bring. The “experts” all have UNCHARTED WATERS in their daily vocabulary, as if that justifies all the terrible financial decisions made in the past twenty years of cheap money.
Never mind that I hold post graduate degrees in economics and marketing, have 35 years of experience in building and pioneering a great variety of businesses all over the world, not all of them successful mind you, and spend the better part of a work-day on the internet analyzing developments, decisions, opinions and global eco-political ramifications. I too, am often confused about where we are and where we’re going. But not by choice or free will.
The Principles of Big History
And when I am… I claw my way back to the Principles of Big History and go back to re-thinking the fundamentals of life and progress, with a deliberate allowance for technological advancements.
Why? Because Big History is a crash course in my connection to everything: earning a living, my family and friends, other people, the natural world, the rest of the cosmos. I find profound benefits in this increasingly larger perspective when I free it from the irony that our world has never been more interconnected, yet we typically define ourselves in the ways that divide us: national boundaries, culture, language, religion, race, education. We magnify ethnic and racial differences that in perspective are merely “storms in a glass of water,” isolated from time and distance.
The truth is that we are all united in the most profound ways, not just as a global community but as a cosmic one. -If you think this sounds a little like 1960’s Kumbaya, then it’s time to pull your head out of the sand and realize that it doesn’t make it any less true.- Understanding the past allows us to think more clearly about the future. Understanding the cosmos is virtually impossible, considering that most people can now pronounce a Trillion dollar debt, but have no clue what the next step up from a trillion is called.
Embracing the Internet with Focus
With the advance of the internet, people with creativity now have a set of tools that can launch their ideas into a world of accepting niche markets. With the internet our world has forever changed. Period.
Anyone who talks about measures of Protectionism, defies the fact that we now live in a Global structure. Good or bad, the entire world is from here on the playing field, the global market place. If you operate something as simple as an Ebay account, you’ll find yourself buying and selling to New Zealand, South Africa and all corners of the world. UPS, Fedex, DHL, the Postal Systems, they are all set up to ship and receive to and from the corners of the globe. If you don’t bury your head in the ignorant notion that only protectionism and patriotism are worth considering in your aim to have a prosperous, fulfilling and selfreliant life, you can make money all over the world, 24/7/365.
Embrace the opportunity!
Fundamentals require an understanding that you, and only you, can define and count on to change your destiny. And your destiny is not served by chauvinistic emotions that blur the global realities. You’re better than that. Being a globalist does not preclude you from holding onto and respecting local, regional or national traditions, it just makes you aware that your financial and emotional future plays on a global level. That’s were your opportunities for independent wealth building and happiness lie. And guess what? For the time being and in the foreseeable future, the US dollar is still the world’s reserve currency and English the default language of choice. We’re still the nicest house in the neighborhood, even though we could benefit from a fresh coat of paint. For businesses and people who think their product(s) or service(s) are only applicable in a local market, they may want to rethink that thought based on some simple observations in my household:
• We are entering the Holiday Season and I’m looking forward to possibly receiving a repeat of last year’s gift of a Dutch Cheese Selection, ordered directly from Holland via the Internet.
• My stepson here on Amelia Island turned 25 last week and his girlfriend ordered him his 2 favorite pizzas from Ferraros Pizza in Racine Wisconsin, 1400 miles north of here!
• My apprentice just wrote and produced a downloadable book that holds a wealth of information on how to prepare and celebrate the holidays on a strict (frugal) budget, which will be available to the rest of the world on the Internet in a couple of days, together with videos on tasty recipes for inexpensive dishes. The cost? $7.95. In the store it would have to cost $29.95 and another tree would bite the dust.
• My wife just yelled from upstairs that she sold an Alligator belt to a guy in Romania who wrote her a thank you note because he got a deal at $84 plus shipping.
Oh yes I can continue until the sun comes up with examples of how the world is now our marketplace. In our household we have learned that we do not need to rely on any Government Services in financing the Golden Years. We have that part of our future solidly in our own hands.

Christmas in France. It was beautiful to be in France during Christmas. All of the tiny streets were decorated for Christmas, and markets were set up, with artisans selling home made crafts. For Christmas Eve, the town of Anduze had a big celebrations in the town square, where Santa visited the children, and everyone drank warm spiced wine and apple cider.

Raven is a Tamaskan husky puppy who wanted a friend but her human mom Christina wanted her to choose her friend, instead of a random pet. So she took her to a shelter so that the husky could pick up her own best friend.
The owner Christina said that she has always wanted a dog and a cat to grown up together, and its really great that they have become best friends. I always wanted Raven to choose her new friend, so I took her to the shelter to take the decision herself.
Raven could choose among 4 kittens, and only one kitten named Woodhouse showed interested in her. So she took her home and now they are best friends. Even after a year, they are inseparable. They used to cuddle a lot when they were young, but that has decreased significantly recently. Even then, they are always playing together.
1. The owner of the Tamaskan husky Raven took her to a shelter so that she could choose a kitten of her own choice.

When net first came, folks expected and believed we’d come across purposes in schooling and information, but the effect on our everyday lives are modest, the reverse is the reality. Internet is a massive source nowadays rather than just in news and education but it has gotten extremely large in the area of amusement. Online gaming is one of the extremely common online entertainment kinds. If you aren’t comfortable from the realm of internet gaming that this guide might provide you a fast introduction into the world of internet gaming. More info https://htmlmahjonggames.com/
Online games are games played online or an identical technology. Games can vary from simple text based games to virtual worlds and games which incorporate images. Massively multi-player online role-playing games (MMORPG) are played around the globe via the world wide web.
A lot of those online games have internet communities, making the online games a social action.
A sport for each interest
In the realm of internet gambling you will find many different sort of games it does not matter what your own personal interests are, there’ll always be an internet game you will enjoy. There are many games if you enjoy science fiction. It is exactly the exact same thing, the quantity is shocking. But you will find gaming you name it and it exist, community games puzzle games, puzzle games, experiences. The games from 2007 provide a vast array of games to pick from.
The fantastic popularity of several online games could be explained by the fact that players can make a personality, a new character for themselves with which they may play a role. Many people today find this harmful and therefore are frightened that players shed their character and eliminate control of fact. In reality role playing it’s merely a diversion in the day to day live. And there are individuals who take gambling badly and can get hooked but their numbers are minuscule when compared with in playing those games, the men and women who have discovered a hobby.

Funny fun fun
It made me laugh it made me cry...it made me laugh more.
Bringing back the tradition of storytelling
I can't get enough of hearing people share their lives with others. The Narrators (along with Risk!, This American Life, and the Moth) extends a traditional practice of sharing stories from people to other people. In this tech-heavy world that people seem to feel connected to, when in reality no one is truly connected to one another, podcasts like this, where a storyteller can convey personal experiences to other people is magical. Good show!
A storytelling show with fabulous hosts and incredible guests. One of the best.

To find cars under $5,000, visit online automobile sales platforms like Edmunds.com and look for used cars, ask a local mechanic to look out for cars within your budget, or seek referrals to private sellers from friends and family. Hire a mechanic to inspect the vehicle before purchase.
Automobile sales websites such as Edmunds.com give recommendations for car choices in the used car market. To find cars under $5,000, look for non-luxury models like the 2004 Hyundai Elantra. Most reliable cars that sell for $5,000 or less are usually five years old and above and have a mileage of about 100,000. Alternatively, befriend a mechanic who knows the service history of cars in the locality, and ask him to look out for a budget car in good condition.
Unlike car dealers, private sellers may not outmatch your bargaining skills and offer better deals. Ask around, and seek referrals to people willing to sell the cars they don't use. Check several cars to gauge and compare the relative value of different models. Carry a car checklist to ensure you don't miss vital components, and have a mechanic inspect the car of choice before purchase. If the mechanic finds defects in the car, it is an opportunity to negotiate for a lower price.

Make My Monday has a new theme challenge for you starting today. I know you will enjoy it as much as I did – “Tone on Tone Backgrounds” and hosted by Dawn. I had just blogged a pretty one on Friday but this theme lends itself to so many possibilities, that I don’t feel redundant at all. All I had to do was to go through my beautiful Stampin’ Up! designer papers. Bingo! I quickly found Mosaic Mood Speciality Designer Paper that I love but haven’t used nearly enough. My photos just can’t do it justice! Most all of the papers have gorgeous embossing on the designs. With just a little (ok, more than that) fussy cutting, this card had a pretty design and a sentiment from Good Morning Magnolia.
MY SECRETS TO MAKING THIS PROJECT
- This A6 card really was easy to create. I cut the Garden Green cardstock to 9″x 6 1/4″ and scored at 4 1/2′ for the card base.
- The background DSP was cut and backed with Very Vanilla, then adhered to the card base.
- Watching my favorite shows, I fussy cut the rose, leaves and hummingbird.
- I wanted to anchor the hummingbird to the sentiment, which had been stamped in Soft Suede ink and cropped with the stitched circle die. The patterned piece was cut out and wrapped with linen thread, then I adhered it to the card base.
- The hummingbird was adhered to the circle die and the rose with leaves attached to the to the card base.
Mosaic Mood Specialty DSP is on SALE!
I am submitting this card to the following challenges:
- 2 Crafty Critters Crazies Challenge: Anything Goes with Critters
- All Fun Challenges: Anything Goes
- Scribbles Designs Challenge: Bird or Bunnies

The influence of AGEs and enzymatic cross-links on the mechanical properties of collagen fibrils
J Kamml and CY Ke and C Acevedo and DS Kammer, JOURNAL OF THE MECHANICAL BEHAVIOR OF BIOMEDICAL MATERIALS, 143, 105870 (2023).
Collagen, one of the main building blocks for various tissues, derives its mechanical properties directly from its structure of cross-linked tropocollagen molecules. The cross-links are considered to be a key component of collagen fibrils as they can change the fibrillar behavior in various ways. For instance, enzymatic cross -links (ECLs), one particular type of cross-links, are known for stabilizing the structure of the fibril and improving material properties, while cross-linking AGEs (Advanced-Glycation Endproducts) have been shown to accumulate and impair the mechanical properties of collageneous tissues. However, the reasons for whether and how a given type of cross-link improves or impairs the material properties remain unknown, and the exact relationship between the cross-link properties and density, and the fibrillar behavior is still not well understood. Here, we use coarse- grained steered molecular models to evaluate the effect of AGEs and ECLs cross-links content on the deformation and failure properties of collagen fibrils. Our simulations show that the collagen fibrils stiffen at high strain levels when the AGEs content exceeds a critical value. In addition, the strength of the fibril increases with AGEs accumulation. By analyzing the forces within the different types of cross-links (AGEs and ECLs) as well as their failure, we demonstrate that a change of deformation mechanism is at the origin of these observations. A high AGEs content reinforces force transfer through AGEs cross-links rather than through friction between sliding tropocollagen molecules, which leads to failure by breaking of bonds within the tropocollagen molecules. We show that this failure mechanism, which is associated with lower energy dissipation, results in more abrupt failure of the collagen fibril. Our results provide a direct and causal link between increased AGEs content, inhibited intra-fibrillar sliding, increased stiffness, and abrupt fibril fracture. Therefore, they explain the mechanical origin of bone brittleness as commonly observed in elderly and diabetic populations. Our findings contribute to a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying impaired tissue behavior due to elevated AGEs content and could enable targeted measures regarding the reduction of specific collagen cross-linking levels.

Florida at Toronto
When: 7:30 PM ET, Thursday, March 26, 2015
Where: Air Canada Centre, Toronto, Ontario
The Florida Panthers have a new team to pursue in their quest for an Eastern Conference playoff spot. The Panthers look to gain ground on the streaking Ottawa Senators as they visit Air Canada Centre on Thursday night for a date with the Toronto Maple Leafs. Florida had been chasing the Boston Bruins for the final wild-card berth, but the Bruins' five-game skid - coupled with Ottawa's seven-game winning streak - has put the Senators in the spotlight.
Regardless of which team is in their sights, the Panthers know they'll need a better effort than the one they showed in Tuesday's 4-3 defeat at the hands of the Tampa Bay Lightning. It was a costly loss for the Panthers, who erased an early two-goal deficit with three second-period tallies - only to watch their cross-state rivals score two in the third to prevail. The Maple Leafs have lost six in a row and have amassed just eight wins since mid-December.
TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, Fox Sports Florida, TSN4 (Toronto)
ABOUT THE PANTHERS (33-26-14): Florida must like what it has seen from trade-deadline acquisition Jaromir Jagr, with George Richards of the Miami Herald reporting that the team is interested in re-signing the 43-year-old forward. Jagr has scored twice and added six assists in 11 games since coming to the Panthers in a trade with New Jersey, and says he's only focused on the task at hand. "My goal is just to help this team make the playoffs," he told the Herald. "I never think about the future."
ABOUT THE MAPLE LEAFS (27-41-6): In the recent past, no amount of losing would keep Toronto fans from filling the ACC to capacity on a nightly basis. But with the defeats piling up at an alarming rate, supporters are becoming more vocal - and sent a significant message with their wallets earlier this week, as the Maple Leafs drew an ACC record-low 18,366 for Monday's loss to the Minnesota Wild. Yet, despite the difficult season, Toronto ranks seventh in the league in average home attendance at 19,076.
1. Florida has won four of the last five meetings, though Toronto prevailed 3-2 in the previous encounter March 3.
2. Jagr is six points away from tying former teammate Ron Francis for fourth on the all-time list.
3. Florida has dropped five straight games against teams that scored two or fewer goals in their previous encounter.
PREDICTION: Maple Leafs 3, Panthers 2
