Scope and Contents
Photographs includes portraits of famous African-American luminaries such as Booker T. Washington, W.E.B. DuBois, and many other artists, intellectuals, educators, entertainers, etc., as well as documentation of Washington, DC, including both the African-American community and national political life, and important photographs of Howard University; also commercial photography, including color materials.
Color separation materials include sets of black-and-white color-separation negatives, sets of matrices for the Kodak Dye Transfer process (full-color Dye Transfer prints are storied in a different series).
Business records: The photography studio records and Custom Craft records are in separate series, reflecting the fact that they were operated as separate businesses.
The collection includes all forms of photographs produced by the studio, such as prints in black-and-white and color, black-and-white and color negatives, color transparencies, black-and-white dye-transfer matrices, slides, etc.; as well as business documents, studio session ledgers, appointment books, business and personal correspondence, tax documents, and books, catalogs, and other publications. This material documents not only the photographic output of the business, both commercial and artistic, as well as the personal and business side of the enterprise.
Some photographs in the collection were not created by the Scurlocks. Some black-and-white and color prints seem to derive from assignments in the Capitol School of Photography, and are therefore student work. Also Custom Craft, the professional color processing service provided by the studio, made prints for other photographers, and samples for printing reference, as well as studio decor, have been retained in the collection. Custom Craft worked for such diverse photographers as artist Robert Epstein and well-known Washington photographer Fred Maroon, for example.
The collection numbers several hundred thousand photographic negatives, prints, and transparencies made by the Scurlocks and other staff photographers of the studio in its various Washington locations. The negatives are estimated at approximately 160,000-200,000 in number, and the prints of all sizes and types at nearly 57,000. The vast majority of the photographs are portraits of individuals, family groups, and organizations, as the primary business of the studio was portrait photography. They date primarily from the 1940s to 1990s. There are also a number of images, made for commercial clients, of building interiors and exteriors, and food. A small group of photojournalistic documentation also exists. The subjects also include architectural and industrial views, scenes in and around Washington, including children and street laborers, political events, social events, and 35mm slides of President Kennedy's funeral, 1964. There are also more personal artistic images, including still lifes with plants and flowers, and a few nudes; Robert's wartime service is also documented by his photographs, including European landscape photographs.
In addition to images taken by the Scurlock studio photographers, there are some prints, especially color, of images by other photographers who were clients, such as Fred Maroon, a prominent Washington photojournalist, and Robert Epstein, a teacher at the Corcoran School of Art. A print of one of Maroon's pictures had been displayed in the studio reception room at the time the studio was closed.
A large group of manuscript items, business documents, ephemera, and office and studio supplies constitutes a separate series from the photographs. An important adjunct to the photographs, a set of ledgers recording and identifying portrait sittings, highlights this group.
Nearly all of the photographs and documents stored in the studio and auxiliary storage locations were accepted for acquisition in order to form a complete history of this family business's production and operations over the better part of a century, whereas a selection of photographic apparatus and studio equipment was acquired by the Photographic History Collection: these items have been inventoried and catalogued separately.
The majority of the surviving photographic negatives and proof prints were made in connection with the studio's portrait work for a wide variety of clients. These portraits include images of famous people, such as political figures, entertainers, and noteworthy persons in a variety of fields, including scientists, writers, intellectuals, and academics. The majority of the figures depicted among both the famous and the not so famous are black. The greatest number of studio portraits, most of which are identified and dated, depict a general clientele who visited the studio for portrait sittings. Although the individual images in this vast quantity have limited research value in the usual sense, the aggregate represents a chronology spanning almost ninety years, which may be useful for demographic and genealogical information and as visual evidence of changing styles in clothing, hair, and accessories. It constitutes a panorama of a significant percentage of Washingtonians of the period, especially the black community.
Portraits of famous personages include George Washington Carver, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Duke Ellington, Marian Anderson, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Sammy Davis, Jr., Sugar Ray Leonard, Muhammad Ali, Mayor Walter Washington, and Presidents Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush, and Clinton, Mayor Marion Barry, DC Council members, statesmen such as Ralph Bunche, and many other noteworthy figures. Of particular interest is a signed group portrait of the US. Supreme Court with Chief Justice Berger presiding. There are also large- format portraits of Justice Thurgood Marshall and J. Edgar Hoover.
Group portraits include both formal sittings and the informal documentation of banquets, convocations, and similar events. This material includes groups at Howard University; Dunbar High School; the Post Office Clerks' Banquet; the Bishops' Meeting of the AME Church; a YMCA camp, cira 1947 1949; the 23rd annual conference of the NAACP, 1932, etc.
Several thousand black and white negatives and prints, 1930s-1960s, depict the people, facilities, and events of Howard University, with which the Scurlocks had a long business relationship. There are various portraits, including Howard University Medical School, represented by 850 negatives and 100 prints. A group of law school and medical school images numbers some 800 negatives and 200 prints. In addition, there are class portraits, as well as images of famous guests speaking at Howard convocations, such as President Herbert Hoover.
An important aspect of any portrait studio's output is wedding photography, and the Scurlock studio was no exception. Bridal portraits, group pictures of wedding parties, and the complete documentation of weddings, in both black and white and color, constitute a significant part of the collection. African-American weddings predominate and provide important insights into this aspect of the society.
The studio's work was shown in special public exhibitions over the years, and several of these are included in toto. The most important was an extensive retrospective display of 121 prints of Addison's work, both vintage and posthumous, prepared by Robert for the Corcoran Gallery of Art in 1976. Others include: (1) a set of 32 black and white images made by Robert at the Ramitelli Air Base, Italy, while he was a major in the US Air Force during World War II; (2) a group of portraits from a Black History Month exhibit at Woodward and Lothrop; and (3) a set of sixteen vintage and modern prints which Robert displayed in an interview on the "Today" television show in the 1980s.
This category includes architectural and industrial photography for commercial clients, food and still life photographs, etc. Much of this material is comparatively recent and was made in large format color, and includes transparencies and enlargements. It is possible that some of the prints represent Custom Craft work for other photographers rather than the camera work of Robert and George Scurlock. Thus far, prints by artist Robert Epstein have been identified as extra prints of his work from orders which he placed with the firm. At least one image by Fred Maroon has been identified.
A group of color prints constitutes copies of artworks, primarily in the National Portrait Gallery, for which the Scurlocks worked. Prints in 8" x 10", 11" x 14", 16" x 20" and 20" x 24" sizes are included, and undoubtedly negatives and transparencies corresponding to these subjects will be found.
In addition to the formal studio portraits and pictures documenting formal events, the Scurlocks took candid photographs of the everyday life of their city, as well as extraordinary events of local and national significance, ranging from occasions such as John F. Kennedy's funeral and the 1968 riots to political rallies and demonstrations.
Capitol School of Photography
The collection includes a variety of materials, such as books and ephemera, which document the activities of the Capitol School of Photography, a sideline of the Scurlock business. Some of the photographs apparently represent student work. The most famous student of the school was Jacqueline Bouvier (later Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis), although no documentation of her association with the school has been located thus far. There are 45 photographs, circa 1950s, showing the photography lab, men retouching prints, students with cameras, etc.
A few photographs of the Scurlock family are included in the collection in various forms and formats, including enlarged portraits of Addison and Robert. A self portrait of Addison and Mamie Scurlock is included in the Corcoran Gallery of Art exhibition series. Other photographs which represent personal artistic expression, such as a few nude studies and floral and plant still lifes, are included.
Series 6 consists of photographic materials including color transparencies, slides, film, and proofs but occasionally includes notes, forms, and envelopes associated with the orders.


text: This book is the definition of the word “raw”. It’s so unflinching and plainspoken that the facts of the story are all that’s need to speak volumes, and at times, scream. Linda is a thirteen year old that has been taken out of her incompetent mother’s care after one of the men her mother has been involved with kills another–over Linda. But that’s just the beginning of the facts that Linda has to tell. Linda’s been dragging around the consequences of her mother’s actions for years, including taking care of her two younger brothers and one of her mother’s many lovers, an old senile man that her mom just ups and leaves with her for weeks, alone. Linda accepts these facts with the resigned air of a person who has been an adult for a long, long time. After reading this book once, I knew I would never forget it. Sweet Valley High may come and go, but The Facts will always remain the same–powerful.

Breathe, hold, repeat
Why drink your shot when you can inhale it? An Andheri restobar brings the craze sweeping bars in the West to aamchi talli Mumbai
While browsing the Internet, Jaasjyot Surri, CEO and co-founder of SJI Hospitality & Foods Private Ltd., came across a report on alcohol mist, a bizarre trend that has caught the fancy of bar visitors in the UK and the US. The accompanying video showed guests inhaling vaporized vodka from balloons. "I tried to find out if Mumbai restobars were offering this," says Surri. When his research showed no results, he decided to import the technology from America and introduce it at his Andheri nightclub, ABCD-Any Body Can Driink.
It's been a month since, and the sales are seeing a steady rise. Funnily, Surri is a teetotaller. "I haven't had a drop of alcohol in my life so I will have to rely on your feedback on whether this works or not," he laughs.
The technology essentially consists of a compact machine that fills disposable latex balloons with a fine mist containing micro-droplets of liquid. While the norm has been to serve vodka, ABCD serves it with a premium spirit of your choice. We opt for a Chivas Regal 12 years. While the company recommends six shots an hour, Surri has reduced it to three in 60 minutes to ensure you don't overdose.
First up, the machine is filled with a bottle of liquor. The machine transforms the alcohol to a fine mist containing micro-droplets of liquid alcohol which are filled into a latex balloon. The shot is then inhaled. "The kick is equivalent to a 30 ml shot," says Surri.
But there's a method to the intoxication. Once you breathe in the alcohol mist from the balloon, you have to hold your breath for 10 seconds. "When we did the first trial, our worst fear came true. Out of six, four volunteers said they felt nothing. Two said they felt something. They did it all over again, correctly this time. The first time they felt nothing because they had unwittingly exhaled," Surri explains.
So, the faster your intake, the stronger the effect. What the mist does is that it bypasses the process of drinking and directly enters the bloodstream. "The system is designed to allow only 1/60th the amount of a normal 30ml shot, which is less than a single drop of alcohol. It uses a tiny amount of alcohol per shot and each one has only 1/60th of the calories of a regular shot," says Surri.
We begin to feel a pleasant high almost immediately, which brings out the true flavour of the liquor, making it an unexpectedly aromatic experience. Despite being a whiskey drinker, this writer enjoys the taste of the orange flavoured vodka more.
What's interesting is that the inhaled alcohol also leaves your system faster than the traditional alcohol shot. In the next 30 minutes, we are good to go, and able to punch out this article in 20 minutes flat.
The equivalent in liquid alcohol of the inhaled shot

The REAL Dr. Don Shirley - GREEN BOOK - extremely RARE live concert footage HAPPY TALK
Uploader: John Dell
Size: 2.59 MB
Dr. Donald Shirley's piano interpretation "Happy Talk" - a show tune from the 1949 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical South Pacific. He is joined by bassist Robert Field.
This video footage of Donald Walbridge Shirley is some of the only known live concert footage in existence. This virtuoso musician remained somewhat of an enigma during his career, due to the fact he could not or would not be categorized. He is the subject of the highly anticipated film GREEN BOOK starring Mahershala Ali and Viggo Mortensen. The film was written by Nick Vallelonga, Brian Hayes Currie, and Peter Farrelly who also directed the film.
My father and his Canadian vocal quartet were fortunate to have met him in New York city during the 50's - his hay-day, playing in concert halls and clubs for celebrities like Marilyn Monroe and Jimmy Durante. Don helped my Dad's group The Gamsmen get auditions with record labels and industry heavyweights. He and Don remained good friends for 60 years, up until his death in 2013. Here is a news story about their friendship; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uF9zsNlAP5k
In 2001, we were privileged to attend a benefit concert in Detroit MI. in support of The Brazeal Dennard Chorale in which Dr. Shirley was featured. We drove down for London Ontario for the gala dinner/concert and had a wonderful private reunion with Don afterwards in his dressing room. Special mention to my brother Joel and his 8mm video camera (apologies for the poor quality). I had broadcast equipment available, but Don was very hesitant to do something on a larger scale. Luckily we have this footage we can share with the public. I have the full concert and other backstage footage that will be uploaded in the near future.

A new documentary trailer on the life of Dr. Donald Shirley has just been released. Directed by Josef Astor.( Lost Bohemia ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DY69eoacdLg&t=16s

Cliff Avril was a force for the Seahawks; a force of destruction on the field, and of creation off it. He will be sorely missed for both his roles.
Yesterday the Seahawks made an announcement that has been expected for months, that thye were releasing defensive end Cliff Avril. The expectation didn’t do much to soften the blow. Seattle played 12 games without Avril last season, so we’ve all had a taste of life without Avril on the line.
The Seahawks adapted pretty well to Avril’s loss in 2017. Sacks dropped from 42 to 39, and passing touchdowns allowed dropped from third best in 2016 to seventh in 2017. But the red zone defense actually improved, from 20th in 2016 to 7th last season. Overall, the Seahawks adjusted better than could have been expected.
Not having Cliff Avril on the team in a larger sense, though, that’s going to be a major adjustment. It isn’t simply a matter of plugging in Dion Jordan, or whoever winds up opposite Frank Clark. It’s more than replacing 34.5 sacks, more than stepping in for a Pro Bowl talent. Cliff Avril was a key player in the Super Bowl group, even though he only got two starts that year, his first in Seattle. With the departures of Michael Bennett and Richard Sherman, this is one more change to the Seahawks identity.
Avril does more than play football
Cliff Avril is much more than a football player. He established the Cliff Avril Family Foundation, which educates kids about the importance of nutrition and a healthy lifestyle. When others relax in the offseason, he builds homes and schools in Haiti. The Seahawks still have a lot of players that give back to their community, like Doug Baldwin and Russell Wilson, but it still hurts to lose a hero like Cliff Avril.
Avril wrote a beautiful, funny, touching thank you letter to the 12s in The Players Tribune. Hard to get through it without tearing up, so don’t say I didn’t warn you. One of the highlights:
"I’ll always remember the sound in our stadium on game day. The times I missed being on the field the most this past season were when I was on the sidelines at The Link and you guys were going so crazy that I could feel the ground shaking beneath my feet. I could feel your passion. And in those moments, the only thing in the world I wished I could do was go out on that field and represent you.There are no fans like you anywhere else in professional sports.Anywhere."
Cliff Avril’s football career may be over, although he’s made it clear that he’ll do his best to make it back onto the field. No matter where his life takes him now, as he wrote in his letter to the 12s, he’ll always be a Seahawk. We wish him the very best.

APC’s Take Back the Tech! campaign is honoured to be a finalist for the Womanity Award together with its scale-up partner La Sandia Digital from Mexico and their project Luchadoras, and congratulates all the other finalists of this prestigious award.
The Internet Governance Forum (IGF) is a unique multistakeholder forum which allows civil society organisations to discuss with the public and private sectors on policy issues related to internet governance.
This is a reflection on the 10th annual Internet Governance Forum (IGF) which I attended in João Pessoa, Brazil from 9 to 13 November 2015 as a council member of APC representing the “Community Education Computer Society (CECS)”:http://www.cecs.org.za/.
As the Arab Internet Governance Forum reaches its fourth iteration, it continues to struggle to mature into a space where multistakeholder engagement can start producing the dialogue and efforts the region needs in order to face the many challenges in the f
“It is all about education, which Arab states don’t always care about. It is a matter of culture, educating the younger and also the older generations.”
New issue paper: How the technical community frames the Internet and economic, social and cultural rights
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the issues surrounding strategies for cooperation with the technical community in the effort to advance economic, social and cultural rights (ESCRs) on the Internet. The paper describes the framework for the analysis of the functional environment of the technical community. It later outlines some opportunities for making progress.
For nine years, feminist activists struggled to bring gender issues out of the peripheries at the Internet Governance Forum (IGF). The 2015 IGF which took place in Joao Pessoa, Brazil, proved that the link between gender and internet governance is being more and more recognised. This GenderIT.org edition gathers feminist reflections on the 10th IGF, pointing to evident advances as well as some still pending issues.

Economic Times reported that South Eastern Railway has achieved a 6.12% growth in freight loading at 113.26 million tonne in April February 2012 to 13 against 106.73 million tonne loaded during the same period last year. The increase in freight loading during the period under review was largely on account of a higher loading of iron ore the main commodity carried by SER.
It carried 61.50 million tonne of iron ore a 8.87% growth against 56.49 million tonne of iron ore loaded during the same period last year. SER also recorded a positive growth in loading of coal and other raw materials to steel plants, pig iron & finished steel as well as cement, food grains and fertilizers.
Incidentally SER loaded 6.32 million tonne more than the Railway Board’s laid down target till February 2013 an increase of 5.91%.
Earnings from freight traffic have recorded a considerable jump of 10.44% during the first 11 months of the current financial year compared to the corresponding period last year.
During the 11 months of the current financial year April 2012 to February 2013 SER earned INR 7,855.45 crore from freight traffic as against INR 7,113.09 crore earned from freight sector during the same period last year.

Published Apr 17, 2013Along with dropping their new album Vanishing Point earlier this month, the guys in Seattle fuzz-rock outfit Mudhoney have been digging through their own past quite a bit recently. The Seattle quartet recently released the documentary I'm Now, chronicling their 25 years together, while !K7 recently unearthed concert footage from the band's very first overseas gig in Berlin. According to frontman Mark Arm, it was that show, documented in the appropriately titled Mudhoney – Live: Berlin 1988, that set the stage for the band in Europe, as several industry people caught their short festival set.
"We played that show and the people in the audience ended up being the people that we worked with, like our Dutch, French and English booking agents," recalls Arm in a recent interview with Exclaim! "All these people just ended up being there and watching us instead of just being someplace else. I guess that was the whole point of that show, little did we know or understand at the time."
Despite its seeming historical importance, Arm recalls the gig as being far from their best. "We only had one single out and that hall was a large hall. There were not enough people in it, which you can kind of tell. There aren't any audience shots in [the film]."
It was in Europe, says Arm, that Mudhoney and later, many of their Seattle peers, got their first taste of success. "Something clicked in the UK first," he says. The country's popular and powerful music weeklies — at the time Sounds, Melody Maker and the NME — were quick to champion the band.
"They went from covering really important cultural music touchstones like the Beatles and the Stones and punk rock to building up and tearing down bands every other week. And we just happened to be the new fresh thing at the time."
Arm says that the British weeklies at the time really ran with the idea that the band were rockist. "Like, it's too rock," he says. "[Us] looking back into history and applying some of our favourite things at that time, it seemed new to them. Like maybe a fresh take on being a rock band."

Barrick's aggressive bid is coming at the right time: Shareholder
Barrick Gold Corp. (ABX.TO) said earlier this week it’s pressing ahead “expeditiously” with its plan to swallow Newmont Mining Corp. (NEM.N) in an all-stock US$17.8-billion deal. For investors, that may bring back unpleasant memories.
Billing the takeover as an “Unprecedented value creation opportunity,” Toronto-based Barrick said it doesn’t need to devote too much more time to actually assess the quality of Newmont’s assets.
“We have completed extensive due diligence and analysis of this transaction based on publicly available information,” Barrick said in its news release on Monday. “As a result, our diligence requirements are limited and confirmatory in nature and would be able to be addressed within a compressed timeframe.”
But Barrick has previously moved fast and ended up breaking things, and there may be some lessons to learn for its latest takeover attempt.
In February 2013, the company took a writedown of US$3.8 billion on its copper business. Most of that was on the Lumwana mine in Zambia, which was acquired in the 2011 takeover of Equinox Minerals for more than $7 billion.
“As most of you know, the operating results at Lumwana have been disappointing since we acquired Equinox,” then-CEO of Barrick Jamie Sokalsky said. “They've been unacceptable actually.”
Lumwana might have been less disappointing if Barrick had spent more time checking out the asset. But the company bought the mine in the middle of takeover battle, outbidding an offer from China's Minmetals Resources Ltd. As such, there was scant opportunity for extensive due diligence on the African mine.
The rushed deal, backed by Barrick’s founder, the late Peter Munk, was unpopular with investors who wondered why Barrick was plunging into copper.
Within a year then-CEO Aaron Regent was fired. The Equinox takeover “was my first major mistake – entirely attributed to hubris," Munk later admitted to the Globe and Mail.
Nevada – which accounts for almost 40 per cent of Newmont’s mining assets, according to Scotiabank – is familiar territory for Barrick. For years, the company has looked at combining its operations in the state with Newmont’s.
“There’s always things that come out of the closet,” Livermore Partners Managing Director David Neuhauser told BNN Bloomberg on Tuesday. “But they know this asset.”
Still, if Barrick does end up issuing almost $18-billion worth of shares in a successful bid for Newmont, cautious investors will be keeping a wary eye on that closet door.

Micronutrient testing, or nutrition blood tests, are often very insightful for helping people improve their health.
But there are some important details you should know about these tests before you pursue them.
Table of Contents
Micronutrient testing overview
- Your standard lab panels, such as complete blood counts (CBC), complete metabolic panel (CMPC), or basic metabolic panels (BMP), do not include vitamin deficiency labs.
- Micronutrient deficiencies aren’t always accurately detected by your typical vitamin blood tests either.
- Specialized testing for certain minerals and vitamins can be helpful for people, especially people with digestive issues.
- You can often identify micronutrient deficiencies using symptom evaluation with a skilled practitioner instead of expensive blood tests.
- If cost of the tests are an issue, most people are better off getting a high-quality multivitamin with mineral supplement instead of paying the relatively high cost of micronutrient tests.
Best micronutrient test types
However, not all blood tests are what meets the eye.
For example, nutrient tests like vitamin B12 levels can be helpful, but normal ranges don’t usually list optimal levels.
In order to get the best micronutrient tests, you will need to have some savvy about what types of tests to order or have your healthcare provider order.
This is because most vitamins and minerals aren’t stored in the blood. And sometimes urine markers or organic acid tests are more helpful than blood tests.
Best types of vitamin tests
Micronutrient levels of vitamins can make or break your health.
But, checking blood levels can be tricky because most vitamins aren’t stored in the blood.
Rather, they tend to be stored in muscle, fat, liver, and other tissues in the body.
Still, overall health depends on getting optimal nutrients from the diet and sometimes supplements.
The only way to know if you are getting enough of some types of nutrients is by testing blood or urine levels of these nutrients.
Here is a breakdown of tests that are accurate and those that aren’t as accurate.
Vitamins tests that are always worth testing
- Vitamin D– the test for vitamin D is called serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D. It is a very accurate marker of vitamin D deficiency. Optimal levels are over 40 ng/ml [R]. Vitamin D deficiency is a risk factor for many diseases so you should ideally check your blood levels twice a year. It is critical for your immune system, brain health, joint health, muscle health, and more.
- Homocysteine-high levels of homocysteine usually indicate deficiencies of folate better than folate tests [R]. It also is elevated if you are low in vitamin B6 or vitamin B12 [R, R].
- Vitamin B12-plasma vitamin B12 and urinary methylmalonic acid are good tests to check if you suspect vitamin B12 deficiency. Of note, methylmalonic acid levels are high with vitamin B12 deficiency. . Optimal plasma vitamin B12 blood levels are over 400 ng/ml so reference ranges on tests underestimate deficiency [R]. Your body needs plenty of vitamin B12 for energy and to help protect nerves. Luckily, supplements of vitamin B12 have no toxicity levels.
Possibly worth testing
- Vitamin A-serum levels of vitamin A are low if intake is low. However, it only is accurate with severe deficiency.
- Vitamin B1 (thiamin)- a test called erythrocyte transketolase index or urine levels of branched-chain keto acids are markers of thiamine nutritional status. Taking a natural stress B-complex vitamin is much cheaper than going to the expense of checking vitamin B1 levels.
- Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) is tested by checking urine ethylmalonate. This test measures your riboflavin levels indirectly. High levels indicate deficiency. Adding a natural B-vitamin to your routine is much cheaper than getting this test and supplementing is safe.
- Vitamin B6– is tested by checking erythrocyte transaminase (EGPT) in the blood. These levels are low with vitamin B6 deficiency. Homocysteine can be checked instead and the level will be high with vitamin B6 deficiency. Certain medications commonly cause vitamin B6 deficiency, such as birth control and blood pressure pills. P5P is the preferred type of B6 supplement.
- Folate-requires a special micronutrient test via gene testing. It is called MTHFR gene testing because over 40% of people don’t metabolize folic acid [R]. You can also check plasma homocysteine and when it is high, you may be low in folate. You can also check red blood cell folate levels. Supplements of natural folate are cheap, so it may be better to just take a good multivitamin with natural folate than get expensive tests.
- Vitamin E-deficiency of vitamin E can be tested by measuring tocopherol/triglyceride ratios in your serum. A much larger percentage of the population has vitamin E deficiency than previously thought. Make sure to supplement natural vitamin E if you are adding supplements.
Not worth it
- Vitamin C-has such a short lifespan in the body so measurements of vitamin C aren’t typically accurate.
- Biotin-lab tests are currently available in research but not available to the public.
- Vitamin K-lab tests aren’t readily available except in research at this time. Supplemental vitamin K2 is a smart option for most people instead.
- Vitamin B3 (Niacin)-tests are difficult to interpret and moderate supplementation is safe.
A micronutrient test you also may want to consider is for certain minerals. Similar to vitamin tests, some mineral tests are accurate and some are not.
In other words, getting a blood test for mineral deficiency can be as problematic as checking vitamins.
Let’s take a look.
Minerals possibly worth testing
A blood test for minerals can be useful in some situations. The following minerals can be tested. Keep in mind that they can be very expensive to test.
Magnesium-you can measure magnesium by a blood test, but make sure to have your doctor check RBC magnesium instead of serum magnesium [R]. Even if your blood levels are normal for magnesium, clinical signs of magnesium deficiency may mean you still need to supplement magnesium.
Selenium-RBC selenium levels can be an indicator of your selenium status [R]. You can also test the enzyme called glutathione peroxidase as a functional marker of selenium deficiency.
Chromium– it isn’t possible to get accurate blood levels, but an indicator of chromium status is checking for an abnormal glucose-insulin tolerance test. It normalizes when you give chromium if you are chromium deficient.
Copper– tests for nutrient levels of copper are red blood cell copper, ceruloplasmin, and urine copper levels. Excess copper levels are just as common as deficiency due to the use of copper pipes or cookware which can lead to poisoning.
Iodine-iodine deficiency is relatively common and you can test urinary iodine levels along with TSH, T3, and T4 levels to determine iodine status [R]. Alternatively, you can help ensure you are getting enough iodine by getting a high-quality multivitamin with minerals.
Iron-deficiency of iron is very common, so you should have your doctor check ferritin, transferrin saturation, and total iron-binding capacity to determine your levels [R]. Contrary to popular thinking, hemoglobin levels aren’t adequate when screening for iron deficiency. Around half of women with iron deficiency have normal hemoglobin levels.
Not very accurate
Zinc-getting a zinc test is difficult because blood levels account for only 0.5% of total zinc. Urine zinc tests aren’t very accurate either. A zinc taste test is a simple and fairly accurate test you can do at home, however. When in doubt, getting a broad-spectrum multivitamin with minerals will help ensure that your body gets enough zinc. Many medications also rob the body of zinc and restrictive diets can cause a zinc deficiency. So, it’s really important for many people to supplement a multivitamin with minerals that contain zinc. Supplemental zinc may even help prevent diseases like diabetes [R].
Calcium-blood levels don’t usually reflect dietary intake very well. Urine calcium is a better marker of calcium status, but it can also point to other issues such as kidney disease, kidney stones, and parathyroid issues [R].
Sodium-can tell more about hydration status than it does about sodium status. There really isn’t a great nutrient deficiency test for sodium. However, a good practitioner can interpret serum sodium when taking into account your other health factors.
Other nutrient tests
Macronutrients like fats are also challenging to test.
But getting your blood fatty acids tested can be really helpful too.
For example, checking your omega 6 fatty acid-to-omega 3 fatty acid ratios can tell you a lot about your risk for heart disease.
Grassroots Health has a kit that tests both your omega-3 index and vitamin D levels. Plus, the company is very helpful in interpreting your results. The result is given as a percent of total RBC fatty acids. This is a long-term and stable marker of omega-3 status throughout the blood and tissues.Best micronutrient testing options
A functional medicine doctor or functional nutrition dietitian is usually trained in nutrient analysis. So it is best to visit a local provider where they can determine the best micronutrient testing options for you.
They can do a more thorough clinical assessment to help you narrow down what you should check.
Micronutrient testing at home
One source of micronutrient testing can be a micronutrient test kit that you order online. From there, you can take it to your local lab where they can draw your blood for you.
Then you send in your blood sample and the lab testing company sends you your results. A Spectracell micronutrient test or Let’s Get Checked are examples of reliable micronutrient blood test kits for home.
Micronutrient testing cost varies a lot by the type of tests you order and the company you go with.
These tests can still have their own set of limitations because they often don’t measure both vitamin B12 and methylmalonic acid for an example.
Importance of Micronutrients
In each split second, your body’s micronutrients are helping the body function. They are critical for absolutely every cell in your body.
This is why testing for levels seems like such a smart idea. And it sometimes is as in the case of the vitamins and minerals listed above that are worth testing.
Eating a great diet full of whole foods is the cornerstone of getting enough nutrients as well.
As mentioned previously, adding a natural vitamin and mineral supplement can go a long way to fill in micronutrient gaps in the diet.
A healthy diet isn’t often enough. Soil concentrations of nutrients have slowly gone down since the advent of industrial farming [R].
And let’s face it; Americans love to eat low-quality, highly processed foods that have minimal nutrients.
I’ve personally never met a human that met all of their nutrients for optimal health with their diet alone. And I’ve worked as a dietitian for over 20 years, so that’s a lot of people I’ve met along the way.
When comprehensive micronutrient testing is worth it
Some people have digestive issues that cause nutrients to be robbed from the body. Examples are digestive disorders like celiac disease, Crohn’s disease, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), and short gut syndrome.
Additionally, surgeries that remove part of the digestive tract can majorly reduce the body’s ability to absorb nutrients.
If you have any of these conditions, it makes sense to have a more thorough nutrient panel for both blood and urine tests as described above.
Interpreting micronutrient testing levels
It is important to know that “normal” reference ranges for lab values do not always mean optimal vitamin levels.
A good example of this is vitamin D. The normal range is anything over 20 ng/ml, but extensive research shows that optimal vitamin D levels are usually over 40 ng/ml.
Another perfect example is vitamin B12. Reference ranges can show that normal levels are anything over 200 pg/ml. But people can be deficient and get nerve damage with anything under 400 ng/ml of vitamin B12.
And keep in mind, the type of test that is ordered is just as important. Serum tests are commonly ordered.
But red blood cell tests are sometimes more accurate than serum levels. This is the case for magnesium and selenium.
Micronutrient testing summary
Specific nutrients like vitamin D, iron, and vitamin B12 are easy to test and can be checked just about anywhere.
However, if you are looking for more advanced nutrient testing like selenium, vitamin E, vitamin A, and other B vitamins, you are going to need to seek out specialized and expensive blood and urine tests.
Rather, it makes sense to get a comprehensive natural multivitamin with minerals instead in most cases. The exception to this rule is usually in people who have malabsorption or major digestive issues. In these cases, nutrients don’t absorb well.

The Jobs With The Biggest (and Smallest) Gender Pay Gaps
5:30 pm, February 13th | by Colette McIntyre
As working women out in the world, dressed in our Melanie Griffith finest, we know the sad, unequal state of affairs: women consistently earn less than men. Despite performing the same work and having similar credentials, women make about 70 cents to every dollar earned by men. We can recite these statistics in our sleep. Now, thanks to data provided by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, we also know where the pay gaps are widest, and the results may surprise you in just how unsurprising they really are.
The data, published by NPR’s Planet Money, compares women’s earnings to their male counterparts’ across hundreds of jobs, basing the comparisons on full-time workers only. According to the findings, the five jobs with the biggest income disparity are insurance sales agents, where women’s earnings are just 62.5 percent of men’s, retail sales (64.3%), sales and related workers (65.6%), real estate brokers and agents (66.0%), and personal finance advisors (66.3%). The five careers where the wage gap is the smallest include health technicians, counselors, pharmacists, buyers for wholesale and retail, and officer clerks. Health technicians and counselors are the only major occupations where the median female salary exceeds the amount paid to men, earning 3.7 percent and 2.6 percent more than their male colleagues.
A detail worth noting: the jobs with closer income parity pay less, on average, than those with the largest wage disparities. The average weekly pay is $1,087 for jobs where the gap is biggest, and $773 for jobs where the gap is smallest.
So, while female cafeteria workers are making just 2.1 percent less than their male colleagues, female surgeons and stock brokers experience a far greater wage gap. This seems to suggest that longstanding gender biases are getting in the way of pay equality. Lower-paid specialities and care work are deemed acceptable for women so it makes sense that those professions claim the smallest wage gaps. High-paying finance and medical careers require logical thinking and aggressiveness, traits that society codes as masculine, so women face increased discrimination in these fields. Also, female professionals suffer whether or not they take maternity leave: businesses often operate on the assumption that a woman will take time off to care for children — because that’s what women are supposed to do — and lower her wages accordingly. Because we still operate in a culture that implicitly associates high-education sectors like finance and law with men and “male characteristics”, it is harder for women to achieve professional equality in these fields.
In the World Economic Forum’s 2012 ranking of the world’s twenty best countries for women, the United States was 22nd, a new low for a country that ranked at 17 in 2011 and 19 in 2010. Our large salary gap, low relative numbers of women in the work force, and scarcity of women in leadership positions — only 3.2 percent of major CEOS are women — placed us below most of Europe, Nicaragua, South Africa, and the Philippines. If that doesn’t outrage you, you’re not paying attention.

Sarah Lindstrom and Desiree Shelton win right to attend Champlin Park H.S. pep fest together
The lawsuit is off and the kids are alright.
Openly lesbian Champlin Park High School students Sarah Lindstrom and Desiree Shelton have won the right to walk together in the processional for the school's annual Snow Days Pep Fest.
That's what the school's students voted for in the first place when they elected both women to the Royalty Court for the event, which functions as a basketball team homecoming celebration. But the high school tried to rig the event to stop the girls from being in the processional together.
That drew a lawsuit on Friday from the Southern Poverty Law Center and the National Center for Lesbian Rights, with assistance from Faegre & Benson's lawyers. The Minnesota Human Rights Act explicitly prohibits schools from discriminating against students based on their sex or sexual orientation, and the lawsuit also said the high school's move violated the girls' rights under the First and Fourteenth Amendments.
A day later, the Anoka-Hennepin School District, the school, the girls and their advocates found some common ground.
SPLC issued a joint statement on everyone's behalf, after reaching agreement in federal court:
Each member of Royalty Court will select a meaningful person in their life to escort him or her in the coronation procession following introductions at this year's Pep Fest. This will enable Sarah Lindstrom and Desiree Shelton to walk together in the processional.
"After today, I think that working with the school and creating these changes is really positive and really good for everyone," Shelton told WCCO. "This is what we both have been hoping for. We both are looking forward to it."
The uproar may also have turned into a positive learning experience for the school district, which can't seem to get its head around the challenge of making its schools safe for GLBT students.
The joint statement said the district promised to work harder to "realize the district-wide objective of honoring all students."
Here's the full statement:

Great fit, easy install and works great. Forest service doesn't even question me when inspected after seeing FMF Turbine-core.
FMF Turbinecore Silencer
- 6 Reviews
- 2 Questions
Compact in size and lightweight, the Turbinecore spark arrestor system uses the exclusive "Turbine Dampening System" making it a U.S. Forest-approved silencer. Now older machines can be U.S. Forest legal with an updated factory look and sound. Re-packing is made easy as there are no rivets to drill out.
- Maximum performance, minimum noise.
- Constructed of an extruded aluminum canister with nickel-plated stinger and concave end cap.
- Fits stock pipes as well as aftermarket pipes (unless noted).
Note: For closed course competition use ONLY. Not intended for street use.
This is by far the coolest looking silencer for a 2-stroke 500. I wish I had some options with end cap colors, but still awesome. I didn't lose any power or nothing noticeable in this department. The biggest issue was a sticker that was on the inside of the silencer that I can't power wash off.
Everything was great with the purchase. I actually started out buying plastics for my old 1990 cr250, (which I couldn't find anywhere but here) then decided to skip the plastics and get a silencer instead. Customer service was very helpful and I was able to return the plastics the same day and received my silencer a few days later. Will be doing further business with motosport for sure.
I say it's better than stock, but only slightly. I have to have a spark arrestor where I ride, and this is a spark arrestor. It rubs on the sub-frame, but only a little...
ALONG WITH MY KX 500, I NOW ALSO OWN A CR 500. IT CAME WITH THE TURBINE CORE SILENCER AND A BEAT UP STOCK PIPE. THE EXHAUST SOUNDED AND LOOKED BAD. I WENT WITH THE PRO CIRCUIT PLATINUM PIPE AS AN UPGRADE,HOWEVER LEFT THE SILENCER ON IT. MUCH BETTER, HOWEVER, I'VE NOTICED THAT THE FMF FOREST LEGAL PIPE HAS A MUCH MORE ANNOYING METAL BAFFLE "CLICKING" NOISE TO IT OPPOSED TO THE PRO CIRCUIT FOREST LEGAL SILENCER. INSTALLED THE PRO CIRCUIT 304 ON THE CR, SOUNDS MUCH BETTER.
Looks great, sounds great, fits great and is legal in the forest with no loss in power. A no brainer!

Japan Echoes Growth Worries as the Fed Looks to Hike
- Mr. Abe sited global economic pressure with continued slowdown in emerging markets as primary reasons for the delay; and this is somewhat counter to the tone taken on by the Fed as the American Central Bank looks to normalize policy by hiking rates. Which Central Bank is correctly forecasting global economic direction?
When Shinzo Abe re-emerged in the Japanese political spotlight in 2012, he brought with him hope and a loosely formulated plan. After two-plus decades of deflation had reverberated through the Japanese economy, there were few ideas as to what may actually help to turn the low-growth tide that had continued to plague the economy through the technology and housing booms that sprang up all over the world. But Mr. Abe, after having resigned the Japanese PM post in 2007, went back on the campaign trail with his aggressive plan to attack economic deflation and the low-growth symptoms head-on with his ‘three arrows’ approach, which has since been dubbed, and even referred to by the man himself as ‘Abenomics.’
Mr. Abe’s three arrows are 1) fiscal stimulus 2) monetary easing and 3) structural reforms. He was able to institute two of these fairly quickly after winning over Japanese voters in the fall of 2012, but the third has remained an elusive. Fiscal stimulus and monetary easing have been addressed numerous times through multiple rounds of QE over the last three-and-a-half years, but addressing structural reform has been significantly more difficult. And perhaps more troubling, the Japanese economy continues to struggle to achieve that elusive 2% inflation target despite these numerous rounds of easing.
A major aspect of structural reforms for the Japanese economy have been increasing sales taxes, of which Japan still has some of the lowest in the world. In 2012 before Mr. Abe came back into power, the Diet of Japan (like Congress, Parliament, etc.) had passed a bill to increase the consumption tax to 8% in 2014 and 10% in 2015 with the goal of balancing the national budget while also discouraging domestic consumption. And the last time Japan hiked taxes, from 3% to 5% in 1997, the Japanese economy went into a deeper state of recession and deflation only worsened. When the scheduled tax hike went through in 2014, the Japanese economy again went into recession.
So when the scheduled tax hike in October of 2015 was set to take place, Japan balked at the idea of actually pushing it through for fear of the same thing happening. So that hike was delayed into 2016 until last night, when Mr. Abe announced that this hike to a 10% consumption tax will be delayed for an additional two and a half years for fear of sending an already fragile economy back into deflation. Mr. Abe presented the decision as a necessary step to offset external risk factors, such as a slowdown in China and emerging market economies.
But this delay of an increase in sales tax wasn’t the only announcement from Mr. Abe as he also went on to say that Japan will launch a ‘comprehensive, bold economic package this autumn.’
Curiously, Japanese markets did not respond as they normally have after a stimulus announcement over the past few years. While previous announcements of stimulus brought on Yen weakness and Nikkei strength, last night brought on the opposite of that theme as we saw Yen strength and a brisk fall in the Nikkei; both risk aversion-like moves.
Two weeks ago, we looked USD/JPY as the pair continued to retrace higher in the bigger picture down-trend that’s been the predominant theme for the better part of a year. As mentioned, USD/JPY had built a steady up-trend during this retracement, producing a well-tested trend-line while also showing higher-highs and higher-lows. We pointed out the level of 109.10 as a potential support level, as this was a prior swing low as well as being a 23.6% Fibonacci retracement of the prior major move.

The Nikkei is also interacting with an interesting trend-line, and this can be found by connecting the lows on May 6th to the lows on May 23rd.

Japan Sending Warnings While the Fed looks to hike?
One of the more noteworthy observations at the moment is the divergence between American and Japanese economic policies. While the Fed is talking up strength in the American economy, Japan is seemingly sounding the alarm bells. Last night’s moves in response to the news that was delivered out of Japan highlight the fact that Mr. Abe and Japan may have sparked another bout of risk aversion by communicating a rather dire message, similar to how the move to negative rates in January only ended up bringing on even more Yen-strength.
It is always dangerous to assign too much value to any single day’s worth of price action, but this is a theme that should be worthy of watching as we near the next Federal Reserve meeting on June 14th-15th. Previously, the Fed has backed down from rate hikes for fear of global economic pressures, as we saw in September of last year.
We’ve previously written about the ‘Fed Feedback Loop,’ in which the Federal Reserve appears to be responding to stock prices by becoming more hawkish or dovish towards future rate hikes based on market dynamics. And after the Fed started to go dovish in February of this year, equity markets began to rally. And as stock prices began to approach prior highs, the Fed became more and more hawkish. So as we near the June rate decision, there is a legitimate chance of seeing the bank move policy in two weeks as stocks sit near all-time highs.
Interestingly, this bearish tone taken on by Mr. Abe has brought in a quick reversal of the prior move, and a longer-running trend-line connecting the swing highs of last year has come in as resistance twice over the past six weeks. Again, we don’t want to assign too much value to a single day’s worth of price action, but should this resistance hold, there could be some significantly volatility on the way very soon.
The big question at this point is which Central Bank is correctly forecasting the direction of the global economy. The United States and the Federal Reserve as the bank looks to further normalize policy, or Japan sounding the warning sirens while they continue the decades-long struggle to battle deflation?

The current members of the Nantucket Community Music Center's Women's Chorus all have different musical backgrounds.
Cathy Aguiar, who joined the group in 2008 at the urging of her sister Meg, sang in a youth choir, the high school chorus and musicals and NCMC's Community Chorus.
"Also, I was raised in a home where friends and family would get together, play guitars and sing," Aguiar said.
Kristen Hull, who started with the Women's Chorus in 2009, sang in her seventh concert with the group in June. She was part of the Accidentals and Naturals - Nangroup - and the Madrigal Choir at the high school. Sally Ure began three years ago, and only dabbled in joys the group because it's fun, friendly and challenging, she said.
The Nantucket Community Music Center's Women's Chorus concert is scheduled for 4 p.m. Sunday at St. Paul's Church, 20 Fair St.

High school student Ferris Bueller (Matthew Broderick) wants a day off from school and he's developed an incredibly sophisticated plan to pull it off. He talks his friend Cameron (Alan Ruck) into taking his father's prized Ferrari and, with his girlfriend Sloane (Mia Sara), they head into Chicago for the day. While they are taking in what the city has to offer, school principal Ed Rooney is convinced that Ferris is, not for the first time, playing hooky for the day and is hell bent to catch him out. Ferris has anticipated that, much to Rooney's chagrin. This '80s movie is filled with bonus DVD materials that will give you an insider's view of this hilarious comedy directed by John Hughes.
Against Me! made the mistake of releasing one of the more beloved independent label debuts of the decade with 2002's Reinventing Axl Rose, and have been playing a game of catch-up ever since. Tom Gabel's Billy-Bragg-meets-the-Clash songcraft melded punk and folk, the political and the personal, and rocked pretty damn hard as well. Their output since then, while not at all disappointing, has necessarily lacked that shock of discovery. But with New Wave, one gets the sense that the band is hoping to finally move on. Released on a major label with big-time producer Butch Vig onboard, it's a rock record, full of straight-up stomp and swagger. Tracks like "Thrash Unreal" and "Americans Abroad" tear it up with a party-band brashness reminiscent of something like Rocket From the Crypt, or even Jimmy Eat World. But of course, Gabel has more on his mind than just a good time, and beneath the headbanging is a core of frustration and burning discontent with the world, with fame, with being chronically misunderstood. Lines like "you have to fight to stay in control of the situation" (from "Borne on the FM Waves of the Heart") and "are you restless like me?" (from "Up the Cuts") keep barking out from under the guitars, culminating in the soul-searching final track, "The Ocean." You'll have a good time with New Wave, but a sense of unease will be there in the morning, picking at your brain like a memory you can't quite place. –Matthew Cooke
"This is like one big orgasm!" says singer-frontman Danny Elfman toward the end of Oingo Boingo's final concert on Halloween night, 1995. That's an apt comparison, since this two-hour, 45-minute performance plays like an extended climax, with Elfman and his bandmates putting out enough energy to light a small city and turn their costumed devotees into a pulsing mass of mutual love. Elfman's like a supernova onstage, maintaining a miraculous pace through 32 songs, any one of which qualifies as definitive Boingo (though we're partial to "Insanity," "Dead Man's Party," and the Dr. Moreau-inspired "No Spill Blood"). In retrospect it's clear that Oingo Boingo wanted to cap 17 years of success with their finest concert, and this one arguably meets that goal. Thorough but inconspicuous camera coverage captures the whole show from start to finish, and the Dolby 2-channel stereo is crisp and clear. Watch it all at once–we guarantee you'll be euphorically exhausted. –Jeff Shannon

Punk/New Wave mad scientists Devo were among the few bands to understand the music video's potential as art form during its infancy in the eighties. Their brilliant and bizarre videos were compiled on VHS and then on laser disc; that long out-of-print disc, The Complete Truth About De-Evolution, has finally arrived on DVD, which should please longtime fans of this eclectic outfit. Rhino's DVD is essentially the same as the Pioneer disc, which featured 17 videos (including their radio hit, "Whip It") as well as the amusing and award-winning corporate film parody "The Truth About De-Evolution," and commentary by band members Gerald Casale and Mark Mothersbaugh. Live clips from the VHS releases are also included; the video for "Are You Experienced" unfortunately was nixed by the Jimi Hendrix estate, but its replacement–a rarely seen video for "Mongoloid" by experimental filmmaker Bruce Connor–makes up for its exclusion. Fans may wish that Rhino had remastered the live clips, but the fact that these fascinating videos are available at all (and at a low retail price) should convince fence-sitters of its must-have status. –Paul Gaita

A Bugatti 57SC Atlantic built in 1936 made forgotten every other car sale we could think of. The highest prices for collectible cars were shattered by the sale of this vehicle to a museum for 30 million dollars being three times more expensive than the previous “most expensive car”.
Bidding was done discreetly only between the legal representatives of the seller – Dr. Peter D. Williamson and the buyer: Mullin Automotive Museum.
For a museum, this acquisition seems incredible, and some people say it would actually be for an anonymous collector.
The price may be justified by the fact that in the world at this moment, there are only two such jewels, the other one belonging to the famous fashion designer Ralph Lauren.
Previous car that has gained the label “most expensive” now seems not at all important: a Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa from 1957 that was purchased just a year ago, for only12.2 million $
