Carlsbad Caverns’ 2012 Star Parties
This summer Carlsbad Caverns National Park has planned several free Star Party events.
“The park is a perfect spot for viewing the wonders of the night sky due to its location miles away from the lights of the local communities.”
Because the rangers are asking that people arrive before dark (because bright headlights impair night vision), why not get there earlier in the day and take a tour of this fantastic, cool [56°F (13°C) average temperature] natural wonder.
Summer extended hours: May 25 – Sept. 3, 2012
Last Cavern Entry:
- Via Natural Entrance: 3:30 p.m.
- Via elevator: 4 p.m.
Visitor Center Open: 8 a.m. – 7 p.m.
2012 Star Party dates:
July 14, Aug, 18 (Perseid Meteor Shower), Sept. 15, Oct. 13

Nearby New Mexico State Park Campground
If you plan to be RVing or tent camping while in that area of southern New Mexico, one campground you might consider is Brantley Lake State Park. It is located 12 miles north of Carlsbad, NM, on U.S. 285, then 4.5 miles northeast on Eddy County Road 30.
While we were camped there in our recreation vehicle a couple years back, we met two memorable solo travelers, each going their own way, each with a unique story.

In the midst of the COVID-19 crisis, some companies are dramatically changing their human resource practices to reflect the inability for personal contact. Those firms often turn to virtual hiring and onboarding practices. And from a potential employee’s perspective, even in this work environment, they want to understand whether they will be in a job or a career.
Note: For those unfamiliar with the concept of onboarding, we look to Exact Hire. Onboarding is also known as organizational socialization. It refers to the mechanism through which new employees acquire the necessary knowledge, skills, and behaviors to become effective organizational members and insiders. Also, look at the following chart from HR Technologist.
The Move to Virtual Hiring and Onboarding
For a good sense of virtual hiring and onboarding, we refer to the Wall Street Journal. As reported by Kathryn Dill:
“Bringing new employees onstream virtually may be easier for companies that already have remote workers and offices in different time zones.Than for firms with geographically concentrated staff. For example, Kevin Bandy was supposed to have for an interview for a job at Atlanta-based software firm Calendly. But instead, he did the interview online. Including a technical segment requiring collaboration among developers. Usually done in person. ‘Some people interviewing me actually resided in Europe. I didn’t even realize that,”
“Offices remain closed to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. As furloughs and layoffs continue. Employees fortunate enough to start new jobs dive in. Usually alongside colleagues they haven’t met in person. Human-resources departments and managers enlist virtual coffee dates, In addition to Zoom sessions and other ways to integrate new employees into the workflow of offices they have never visited.”

In early 2019, I worked with the Traverse City Area Chamber of Commerce to refine their visual assets. This included re-working the organization’s main logo, and the creation of several additional logos to represent the Chamber’s sub-programs. You can find more on the outcomes of that project here (link coming soon).
Later that year, the executive director reached out to me again. She told me the Chamber was undergoing major organizational changes, including (but not limited to) combining with their parent entity, Traverse Connect. They were in the process of determining what name was most appropriate to the new organization, with its new service offering.
The recently re-worked logo was used as a method of test-driving potential new naming conventions; I put together several presentations articulating the visual strengths and challenges of each direction. After lengthy internal discussions, they determined that the “Traverse Connect” name better represented the new, combined organization, and accommodated their wider array of services.
The name change raised concerns about continued recognizability in the community; in lieu of the “Chamber of Commerce” language, retaining the maximum amount of visual equity from the previous Chamber brand became a chief concern. For that reason, we stepped back from the logo updates we’d made earlier in the year, opting instead for a re-drawn version of the organization’s earlier logo (no longer available in high-res or vector formats) with the new name attached.
Once the changes to the logo were finalized, the new assets were furnished to Lake Effect Digital for use in creating Traverse Connect’s new website, which launched later the same year, at which time the new, combined identity was also formally announced.

• The Citizenship Amendment will give citizenship to non-Muslims from Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan
• In August a new citizens register did not recognise two million mostly Muslim people in Assam
There was rioting yesterday in Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Calcutta over a new Citizenship Amendment Bill that could grant Indian citizenship to non-Muslims from Bangladesh, Afghanistan and Pakistan.
India has a Hindu nationalist government led by the Bharatiya Janata Party. The riots are a reaction to perceived Hindu supremacism.
In August two million inhabitants, mostly Muslim, of Assam were left off a citizens register because their families could not prove they came to India before 1971. They are furious that non-Muslims from neighbouring countries now have a potential route to citizenship.
They reject the argument that the Bill is protecting religious minorities because the Bill does not offer citizenship to Rohingyas in Myanmar or Ahmadis in Pakistan.
India has 200 million Muslims among its 1.3 billion population but the BJP government of Narendra Modi has been pushing an avowedly Hindu agenda since it came to power in 2014.
The trouble with a sectarian religious government is that it automatically discriminates against some citizens. That leads to disgruntlement and that is why Indians are now rioting against the BJP government. Governments should not favour one religion over another.

I attended Word on the Street on Saturday in Lethbridge with my publisher, Dream Write Publishing. We arrived rather too early to set up as the organizers were only just putting out the tables and chairs at the time we were informed we could set up. However, it wasn’t long before we saw our allocated tent was ready and we proceeded to arrange our display. There is even a photo of us doing just that! Are we eager or what?
With only room for a selection of Dream Write books (there are nearly 90 titles in total) we arranged the books we had brought and I was allowed to spotlight my romance novel, The Twesome Loop at one end. Unfortunately the weather was not kind as it was really cold so jackets and scarfs remained on almost all day until the afternoon sun showed its face.
My first sale of The Twesome Loop was to a member of the Lethbridge writing group, The Riverbottom Writers. Thank you Amanda! She was rather pleased with my written comment inside her signed copy.
My second sold copy went to Leslie, who is also a Riverbottom Writers member – thank you for supporting my writing.
Next Saturday is Words in the Park in Sherwood Park and it will be the official launch of The Twesome Loop.
I have created a prize basket, which is Italian themed and includes a copy of the novel. I wanted it to be as tempting as possible – note the bottle of red wine & wine glass!
After months of planning everything is ready for the 10th anniversary of Words in the Park, which in an official ‘pop-up’ site for Alberta Culture Days (also celebrating 10 years). We expect a great attendance with 33 authors and 7 artisans displays, discussing and selling their books/crafts. There is also interactive sessions, children’s activities and food to enjoy. http://wfscsherwoodpark.com/words-in-the-park
I have some downtime after this event until 7th October when I will be making a presentation for a local company, Pinebox Funerals at their annual event. This falls under my other writing hat – freelance writer.
This will be followed with an author event on 11th October at Audreys Books, Edmonton.
So as you can see I’m rather busy. I need to make a decision on the excerpt I will share of The Twesome Loop at this venue – romantic rather than erotic I feel would be preferable.
What events do you have coming up? Why not share them in the comments. Free publicity is never a bad thing!

Pulong withdraws from Speakership race, backs UngabPosted on
DAVAO CITY — First District Rep. Paolo “Pulong” Duterte said Saturday he has withdrawn from an earlier plan to enter the House Speakership race following a meeting with his father, President Rodrigo Duterte.
In a statement released to the media, the Presidential son bared that he had spoken to President Rodrigo R. Duterte about his plan to run for the top House post.
“We both agreed that this will not be the right time for me to be Speaker and I can still help his administration from the House in a different capacity,” the younger Duterte said.
Instead, the lawmaker said he will be supporting the candidacy of 3rd District Rep. Isidro Ungab, who was earlier endorsed by the Hugpong ng Pagbabago (HNP) and the Hugpong sa Tawong Lungsod (HTL).
HNP is a regional party co-founded by Pulong’s sister, Mayor Sara Z. Duterte, while HTL is a local political organization founded by President Duterte when he was mayor of Davao City.
Pulong initially signified interest to join the race after the Speakership race was racked with divisions that threaten to break up the pro-administration coalition in the House of Representatives.
The three current contenders–Taguig Rep. Alan Peter Cayetano, Marinduque Rep. Lord Allan Velasco, and Leyte Rep. Martin Romualdez–are all administration allies.
Pulong said he was hoping he can unite the House and prevent a potentially bitter contest among the three. The young Duterte also proposed that the Speaker of the House post be shared by representatives from Mindanao, Visayas, Luzon, and the party-list groups.
Pulong said the President has been briefed about the entry of Ungab in the Speakership race.
President Duterte has repeatedly said he will not interfere in the race for the next Speaker of the House, noting that all candidates are all his allies.
On Friday, HTL and HNP released a joint statement calling House members to join the Duterte Coalition, in an apparent move to solidify support for Ungab.
The coalition even invited Romualdez, Cayetano, and Velasco to join the group. -PNA

After 14 regional airports and Piraeus Port Authority, Greece’s leftist-led government confirmed its third privatization project on Thursday – against the odds – approving the sale of railway service company Trainose to Italy’s Trenitalia.
The governing board of state privatization fund TAIPED yesterday accepted the sole offer made by Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane (widely known as Trenitalia) for 100 percent of Trainose. The Italian company bid 45 million euros and was selected as the preferred bidder. If all goes well, the transaction will be completed within 2016.
According to its statement on Thursday, TAIPED accepted Trenitalia’s offer after taking into account the favorable opinion of its consultants regarding the validity of the offer on the table, the two assessments made by two separate consultants, and the positive opinion by the Experts’ Council.
Sources say that both assessments TAIPED received concerning Trainose were below the price that Trenitalia offered, and it is in fact the first time since TAIPED was founded that it has not had to ask for an improved price in a major tender with only one bidder.
On Thursday the head of Trenitalia’s international activities, Renato Mazzoncini, assured TAIPED board members and the Experts’ Council that the Italian company intends to develop Trainose, while he stressed that Trenitalia wishes to work with the cooperation of both existing employees and Greek society.
Crucially, Mazzoncini added that Trenitalia is also interested in Rosco, the Greek railway maintenance company that failed to attract any suitors in its first privatization tender. A new tender is expected to be announced in the next few days.
Sources add that the Italian officials have further said they have more plans for Greece, with market professionals estimating that Trenitalia could enter the development of railway infrastructure or even seek the management of the planned Thessaloniki metro.

The freezing material of water is considered primarily due to its unique water features. For example, Boiling Point, Point Surface Tension, Heat of vaporization, air temperature, and Cohesion are Solid-State and Liquid Region.
How does it take for water to Freeze?
70% of our earth is seawater, and 65% of our bodies are water; it is hard not to describe how important it is to our lives. How long does it take to freeze, depending on the three types of water? These three different types of phases of water, or H2O, are known as solid, liquid, and gas.
Similarly, the hardness and softness of the water also play an essential role in this regard. Hardness is a water commodity that poses health problems and creates global ills in this age of emerging pollution.
As a result, solid water can cause the accumulation of minerals in pipelines, refineries and, water heaters. In addition, the total duration of any liquid depends on the juice, water, ice cube or, any other primary water type.
Further to add, water freezing can be influenced by latent heat and areas affected by frost. At the domestic level, changes in heat energy inserts affect the functioning of the regular freezer and give us a wide range of freezing temperatures.
What Takes Place When Water Is Affected By Frost
Alteration in water phases occurs when water is strongly influenced by frost in a body of water. It affects water capture and physical health (plants and animals) equally. A thin layer of ice formed on the water’s surface in the cold upper part that meets its temperature below freezing is called Snow. And that leads to the transition of phase. It is present close to the ice crystals; in cold climates. It occurs in a wide variety of forms. The diffusion of crystal formation occurs through the process of nucleation.
Thus, this developed ice promotes the fractal process. The depth of the ice crystals varies depending on the amount of time they have accumulated and the water vapor saturation. In addition to this, it involves the effect of Snow on water; snow crystals may be invisible (black), transparent (bright), or white; when a pile of snow crystals produces adhesive layers.
When it comes to plants that have grown in tropical areas are damaged when temperatures drop enough to freeze water from plant tissue cells due to the significant frost effect on plants. So, the damage to their tissues is caused by a process called “frost damage.” Farmers in these regions where frost is known to damage protect the crops from such intensive snow damage.
How long does it take for the Liquid to Freeze?
Different liquids take different distances to freeze. It is closely related to the temperature, and the average time to harden it is 4 hours in the boot. The reason is that the liquid in the bottle is too cold, and the liquid temperature is below. It requires something to begin the freezing process and encourage the small number of non-liquid atoms to combine to form intermolecular.
When they do in a crystal, instead of moving freely, this process is called nucleation because it stimulates fluid-producing cells to form a crystalline nucleus through which others can connect. A kick-start can be given through a shock wave when you blow a bottle out of the fridge. These shock-absorbing shock absorbers are used in a new ‘wine warmer’ containing a very cool liquid that causes the thermal effect. Therefore, each drink provides us with different freezing temperatures.
Does Water Of Different Heating Degrees Harden Equally Fast?
Yes, it is said that water with different degrees of heating hardens equally quickly. Perhaps you have noticed the mineral deposits in the dishes where you cook your food. These are not signs of house mismanagement or pollution; and instead, these are signs of coming out of municipal water. Solid water is a type of water containing cation with a +2 charge, which includes Ca2 + and Mg2 +. Interestingly, such ions do not pose a health threat, but they can be involved in a process that leaves mineral deposits in our vessels. These funds give unsuitability to water for many uses. Hence, many techniques have been developed to “soften” solid water, removing calcium and magnesium ions.
How Long Does It Take to Freeze Water?
How long does it take for water to freeze? It takes about three to four hours for the regular water ice to freeze to room temperature. It is in a powerful freezer having a temperature of 0 ° F or -18 ° C. By testing, if you fill 12 or more spaces in an ice tray with normal temperature water and put it in the fridge, it will do just that. It takes three to four hours, the maximum time before the water turns to ice. The average temperature can be calculated by using the equation.
E = cm∆T.
It is also subjected that freezing temperature is different for warmer water, tap water, ocean water, and bottled water.
Does Water Hardens Equally Fast Everywhere?
Change in water density depends on the change in weather and climate. The reason is that water is rich in dissolved minerals, especially calcium and magnesium, which you may experience effects. Depending on the hardness of your water, after using soap for washing, you may feel that there is a residual film left in your hands. This scale can reduce equipment life, increase the cost of heating water, reduce the efficiency of electric water heaters, and shut off pipes.
And, yes, hardness in water is observed in your home, why some people occasionally use vinegar (acid) in a pot. This type of vinegar acidity helps to dissolve mineral particles by making them charged. Depending on the hardness of cold water, warm water and warm water can differ; for example, water samples taken from America and Europe carried high hardness.
The Abnormal Properties of H2O
Many unusual structures have been fitted with H2O. The first is its boiling point and the Freezing point. It is found that boiling points of hydrides decrease as the size of the molecule decreases for the hydride of tellurium H2Te (hydrogen telluride) to have a boiling point of -4 ° C. In the same way, the H2O hydride (WATER) provides the same forecast; the boiling point of water is 100 ° C. So despite its molecular weight, it has a vast boiling point. The second asset is related to the Surface conflict. Water has a very high water content in all types of liquids.
The high water resistance is due to the interaction of hydrogen in water molecules. Water has a very high evaporation temperature of 41 kJ / mol, the third most popular water source. Evaporation can be seen when the liquid turns into a gas, entering the water through an endothermic reaction. Vapor pressure is related to intermolecular forces and is another watery substance. Intermolecular solid forces have low vapor pressure and reliable intermolecular forces, hence the pressure of low vapor pressure. But it is even lower than the larger molecules with low vapor pressure associated with the viscosity structure.
Finally, water is considered a Universal Solvent. Due to the polarity of water, water can disperse or separate many particles. Oxygen has a slightly negative charge, while two hydrogen atoms have a somewhat more efficient order, and these costs make water polarity much higher. That is why water dissolves most solvents themselves and is known as the universal solvent.
Freezing Time for Different Capacity of Water
In most cases, frosty areas have the same temperature; however, some substances have different temperatures in fluids. For example, same like water, agar showed hysteresis in its melting point and freezing point at 85 ° C (185 ° F) and hardened from 32 ° C to 40 ° C (89.6 ° F to 104 ° F).
How long does it take ice cubes to Freeze?
In the case of ice cubes, a standard plastic ice tray that holds 12 cubes filled with room temperature water will take about 3 to 4 hours to freeze generally in the home refrigerator. Interestingly, the use of steel ice cube trays takes less time to freeze fine and tapered cubes.
FAQ – How does it take for Water to Freeze
Many simple questions are provided here about water. It will provide common knowledge which all should know of us.
Ice spikes on an ice cube tray turn into ice. First, the water forms ice at the top, at what will constitute the ice. After that, the ice until a small hole is left freezing on the surface of the water. At the same time, when the cover is cold, ice begins to thicken around the sides of the cubes. As the ice freezes, the underwater ice begins to push water through the ice cap.
Water can be forcibly removed from the ice cap and can freeze to form an ice spike. But the water does not fall on the sides of the thin end formed. In this way, it is different from the volcano; instead, the water freezes around the tube, thus increasing its length. The spike can continue to grow until all the water freezes over metal trays. As a result, the highest point we see growing on cube trays is 56 mm or 2.2 inches long.
With climate change or seasonal changes, the entire lake reaches 40 F, and the surface water cools again, dropping below 40 F. Due to this phase change, the water is now less dense than the surrounding water. When the surface water temperature drops to 32 F, it is cold, and this ice is thick and floats on the lake.
Suppose that if ice were to float in an ice-free lake, it would freeze over and destroy all life on the lake. However, the ice is deep, and the fish can survive under the ice in a lake in winter. Ice blocks generate insulating effects. Additionally, this type of water temperature makes living organisms thrive, and ice becomes increases its volume. It explains why ice floats on water. In winter, the lakes begin to freeze, the water from freezing and deep into the water; this explains why people can ski or fall into an icy lake.
In addition, the ice covers the ponds at higher temperatures outside and provides elasticity in the water below them. It allows the frozen pond and to maintain the lake’s biodiversity.
Testing proves that 4 inches of water take 1 to 2 hours to get ice cubes in the heat. And if the method is used to freeze the water immediately, the temperature should adjust to 24 degrees Fahrenheit.
In scientific terms, a cold is a phase in which a liquid turns into a solid when its temperature drops below freezing. By the established international definition, freezing means a change in the solidification phase of a liquid or liquid substance, usually due to cooling. Typically, melting points and refrigerators are at the same temperature; however, some substances have different solids varying degrees of fluid temperature. Thus, it freezes from 32 ° C to 40 ° C, which is an exact temperature.
It is predicted that scientific experiments have found a good illustration of how icy liquids (cold drinks and so on) can prevent freezing despite the rapid cooling of water. Even when those temperatures drop significantly below freezing, they remain stable.
You will only need a few simple ingredients for this cool science experiment demo. It includes ice, salt, and several unopened plastic bottles for clean water. In short, bottled water takes 3 to 4 hours to freeze. This list can change by using metal containers, unlit plastic bottles, countertop ice makers, and bottled mineral water. Because ice builds in such a water bottle at a quick price.
Tray ice cube trays take -13 ° F to freeze. When people are ready to drink juice, they can drink their fluids, kept at -0.4 ° F. The reason is that temperature setting helps to save cold water or juice for a long time.
The hot liquid may be colder than the same liquid at first; under the same conditions, it is called the Mpemba effect. There is some criticism about its theoretical basis and the parameters needed to produce the result. But the Mpemba result is named after a Tanzanian schoolboy born Erasto Mpemba in 1950. His story in 1963 became very popular at the time, as he opened up the concept of water intake and told that ice water is directly related to heat.
This effect is often seen in water passing through a transition phase. There are very different structures in normal water. It is closely monitored for the effect of intermolecular energy between individual water molecules, the effect of temperature, and the effect of subtle heat and rapid cooling. Therefore, boiled water quickly freezes due to all these indicators.
Laboratory analysis has shown that If people put liquids into cups with zero turbidity or density, then check the freezer output of that water after every 30 minutes. Water will freeze the fastest, which suggests that water freezes fastest because water doesn’t contain other ingredients in this condition.
Final Words – How does it take for Water to Freeze
It is concluded that water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit or 273.15 Kelvin, an average freezing temperature for all types of waters. Although in some conditions, artificially or naturally colder freezer or powerful freezer is applied to get colder water. But the most apparent effect on the freezing point of water is inserted due to the wide range of factors, including hardness, softness, thermal contact of water with its geographical areas, air pressure, and presence of hydrogen bonding in the molecules of water. Furthermore, the freezing point of water may also change due to the change in its phases from a liquid to solid or from drink to gas.

Kristian Clarke came up with an all-round performance to help New Zealand beat the West Indies by two wickets in a low-scoring affair and enter the semi-finals of the ICC Under-19 World Cup, in Benoni, South Africa, on Wednesday.
Clarke (4/25) first shone with the ball to restrict the West Indies to 238 and then scored an unbeaten 46 off 42 balls to take New Zealand home in the company of Joey Field, who was not out on 38.
Batting first, the West Indies were bowled out in 47.5 overs with Kirk McKenzie top-scoring with a 104-ball 99.
Besides McKenzie, Kevlon Anderson (33) and Antonio Morris (31) also made useful contributions with the bat.
Right-arm pacer Clarke picked up four wickets for New Zealand, while left-arm spinner Jesse Tashkoff (2/35) and Field (2/52) shared four wickets between them.
Chasing the modest total, New Zealand lost wickets at regular intervals and found themselves in a spot of bother at 153 for 8 in 34.5 overs.
But Clarke and Field had other plans as they joined hands and shared an unbeaten stand of 86 runs for the ninth wicket to take New Zealand home, the Kiwis finishing with 239 for 8 in 49.4 overs.

By The Sea is an arthouse beaut that is so narratively hallow, it will leave viewers infuriated.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt take a gamble on arthouse cinema and they beautifully fail. Yes, the vintage film and cinematography is wonderfully captured in Jolie’s picture, but the story and narrative depth is so shallow it engulfs the rest from achieving. This voyeur adventure is not intriguing enough to most viewers who are looking for something with more structure.
Jolie and Pitt pitch to us a dull story of a ‘70s marriage gone stale. Unfortunately, the script is just as stale as the marriage. The couple suffers gorgeously throughout the film and takes a vacation to a ritzy hotel in Malta. Jolie and Pitt throttling through the film with endless pain will leave viewers numb by the end. By The Sea is a cinematic beaut with disappointing results … damn.
By The Sea is rated R (Restricted). For strong sexuality, nudity, and language.

Ed Sheeran premiered the official music video for his latest single “Perfect” this Thursday morning on YouTube, and just like the title of the song, this music video is PERFECT. It’s so romantic, it’s so Christmassy, and it’s so perfect. Directed by Jason Koenig, the MV sees Ed Sheeran and his lifetime crush finally falling love while sharing a winter getaway to the mountains with a group of friends.
Watch below and have the tears-wiping tissues nearby:
We lost count of how many “awwwwws” we uttered at the screen. This “Perfect” music video is so cute. And it was such a clever idea from Ed and the director to give it a winter theme, given it’s almost Christmas and it’s almost the time of the snow. Ed may as well be turning “Perfect” from the ultimate love ballad to the ultimate Christmas ballad – for Christmas is not only about presents and Santa Claus, it’s also the time to remember a little bit more intensely those that you love.
"Perfect" is lifted from the album "Divide".

Lots of life-y things have been happening lately. That's good, since it feels like all I've been doing is worksleepworksleepcookworksleepblogworkworkwork. I'd prefer more cooking and blogging in there vs the working aspect, but c'est la vie, right? While I don't have a recipe for you in this post, I DO have lots and lots of pictures of yummy food and cultural things and pretty flowers!
My awesome OB/GYN friend Carolyn must have been a travel agent in a previous life. She very may well moonlight as one here in Okinawa, because holy cannoli that girl knows where everything is and how to get there! It's very much a skill I wish I possessed. She and her dog Sammy go on adventure drives often and find the coolest things that I would never have thought existed here.
I must explain to you non-Okinawa dwellers: since things here are usually not in English, sometimes it's hard to branch out of our "English bubble" of things that are written in English. There is a website we reference here often called OkinawaHai! which is a complete lifesaver because it's basically user reviews of places people have tried out, with pictures, menus and directions. It's great, but limited to places people have been to, more often than not within the English bubble.
Anyway, Carolyn found this place where you can pick your own strawberries- right off the vine! I have fond memories of this activity from Travis' time in southern California- we picked probably 2 pounds and I made quite possibly the most amazing strawberry jam in the universe. So naturally I was super excited about making more fresh strawberry jam. We got to the strawberry farm, which turned out to be a hydroponic operation (pretty cool!) but due to the language barrier it took about 15 minutes to figure out we were not allowed to take the strawberries OUT of the picking area.... it was an all you can eat type of thing. Only in Japan! It was still a lot of fun- they had strict instructions on which ones we were allowed to pick- only the most very red and ripe- and they gave us a small paper envelope for the stems. I just wish I had not eaten breakfast beforehand!!
April 25 was our 3 year wedding anniversary. It's not only a special day because it's the day we got married, but exactly one year before the wedding, we got engaged, so it's particularly sentimental for me. Due to our jobs and never having lived in the same city prior to moving to Okinawa (5 years long distance, baby! I do not recommend it...) and we tried out a new restaurant last year which turned out to be awful food, I wanted the celebration to be as special as the day meant to me. Through word of mouth from colleagues, I found a woman on island who makes and decorates these beautiful cakes. It was pricey, but considering I just switched back to nights and only had the energy for a boxed cake mix, it was worth it. Chocolate on the bottom, carrot cake on the top, two of the 5 flavors we had at our wedding. It was slightly overkill for the two of us, but made for a special moment on our day. We even got to exchange and unwrap presents-- together, face to face, on the day of the celebration-- basically a Jordyn-Travis relationship first considering our long distance/having to work or be deployed on many holidays. The normality of it all was wonderful, albeit a little strange!
|Cherry blossoms in Hiroshima|
Travis and I were also fortunate enough to take advantage of a three day weekend and travel to Hiroshima for a short vacation. I had gone back in October with a couple close girlfriends, and it was absolutely wonderful, so I wanted to share the beauty of mainland Japan with Travis too. We went at the perfect time- just after the cherry blossom festival so we avoided the crowds but right before the blossoms dropped, so I got some nice pictures. The weather was crisp and cool and wonderful.
|Cherry blossoms in Hiroshima|
|At a flower festival on Hiroshima|
|Cherry blossoms on Miyajima Island|
|Oysters on Miyajima Island|
One of the famous side trips from the city of Hiroshima is Miyajima island. You probably have seen the pictures of the famous torii, where the currently standing one has been in place since the late 1800's. It's a magical place- really it is. Quiet, quaint, picturesque- they have sacred deer wandering freely all over the place, and are also famous for a sponge like cake/cookie with different flavored fillings inside. A staple there is also their freshly caught and grilled oysters, which Travis happy enjoyed. I do not care for the texture so I was happy to take pictures of them.
|Okonomiyaki with raw egg and udon noodles|
The ones in Hiroshima are different than the Osaka okonomiyaki because there the ingredients are all mixed together, whereas in Hiroshima they are layered like a lasagna. Above was Travis' okonomiyaki with a raw egg and udon noodles. I did not want a raw egg so I got garlic chips and soba, which is thinner than udon. It has a more spaghetti like flavor to it, where as udon is more flour-y, if that makes sense. Both noodles are good, but Travis and I agreed that the soba held up better inside the pancake. Neither of us were able to finish our pancakes, as they are literally the size of an American dinner plate!! You are given a small metal spatula with which to cut the okonomiyaki, and otherwise you eat it with chopsticks, of course. Managing all of those ingredients can be quite interesting with only two thin pieces of wood....
On our last day in Hiroshima we were slightly A-bombed out, since that's a big focus in the city, so we decided to take the bullet train back to Kobe, where we were catching our flight back to Okinawa. We were able to have a (rather expensive) lunch there that included REAL KOBE BEEF! It's been something we have wanted to try for a very long time, so decided to bite the bullet on the price and go for it. Oh. My. Goodness. It was worth every cent!! Our total bill for the two of us came out to around 12,000 yen, which translates to $150. I tell you, it was worth it. We were not asked how we'd like the steaks cooked, and our salads were literally shoved out from in front of us once the meat was ready. The chefs there take the beef very, very seriously. It came to us sizzling on a cast iron skillet with garlic pieces, onion slices and potato. I often have trouble with beef in Japan because you can't exactly cut them into smaller pieces with chopsticks without looking like a complete idiot, and I like really small bites of food- don't ask, I don't know why, it's just a thing I have.
|Okonomiyaki with garlic chips and soba noodles|
|Inside view of the Okonomiyaki|
|Beginning stages of the Okonomiyaki|
Y'all.... I did not even need to worry about that with this beef. I took a small bite of the end of my chopstick and it literally fell off itself. It melted, that's how tender this beef was. Being a medium to medium-well steak person, (Travis tells me this means I like my steak "burned") I let the residual heat of the skillet continue cooking the beef ever so slightly so it was not moo-ing anymore, but it was so good I ate every last bite, not really caring how rare it was cooked. I left that restaurant so very stuffed, and it was completely worth it.
This was the sight we experienced when we found our car in the parking garage in Okinawa. They really do park anywhere they want.... I hope you enjoyed the stories of my gastronomic adventures lately. Next post will be back to normal recipes that I've made. I promise!!

The firsthand account of a personal journey through Nebraska, Wyoming, Colorado, and Kansas in the 1840s, this classic work of American adventure is not only an excellent resource for eyewitness observations of Native American culture in the mid 19th century but also an essential document of the cultural attitudes and prejudices of Eastern European-descended Americans of the era.
Criticized by contemporary reviewers, including Herman Melville, as demeaning to Indians, Parkman's tale nevertheless remains a fascinating and entertaining read. Originally serialized in Knickerbocker's Magazine and first published in book form in 1849, this replica edition returns to print a previously hard-to-find work of American history.
American horticulturist and historian FRANCIS PARKMAN (1823-1893) helped found the Archaeological Institute of America. He is the author of The Jesuits in North America in the Seventeenth Century and the eight-volume France and England in North America, both considered among the great masterpieces of historical literature.

The first solo LP from Rilo Kiley’s Jenny Lewis accompanied by vocal duo the Watson Twins, this is a strong attempt at an indie-country album that falls fractionally short of its initial promise. Brilliant a cappella opener, Run Devil Run, sets up the gospel overtones beautifully. The strong presence of Biblical themes that is common to the best country music is certainly present here; there are ‘devils’ and ‘mercies’ a-plenty, but sometimes they don’t seem entirely real. Lewis seems to be playing with the traditional preoccupations of the country singer. She may invoke ‘God’ and ‘the Devil’, but with far less certainty than her more orthodox predecessors. Her perspective is more liberal, more freethinking than the traditional country stance.
Regardless of whether or not Lewis is ‘playing’ at being a country singer, something she could be uncharitably accused of, her voice doesn’t quite seem capable of conveying the degree of passion and pain necessary for the topics about which she is singing. At least, this is the initial impression one gets from the album. However, repeated listens reveal subtle tones and inflections that, while subdued, work well in many of the songs to express the necessary degree conviction and heartache. Lewis is ably backed by the Watson Twins, whose fantastic gospel vocals harmonise and soar through a Southern sky where the clouds are delicately tainted with disease and death. Their voices really do bring something unearthly to the album.
The song writing is a real strong point: these broken tales of drug abuse, violence and tragedy are gently affecting, although Lewis finds it necessary to supplement her own songs with a cover: the Travelling Wilburys’ Handle With Care. The Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison and George Harrison roles are played by Conor Oberst, M. Ward, Ben Gibbard (Death Cab For Cutie/Postal Service) and Lewis. It’s a straight cover, and reinforces the folksy, homely feeling of the project.


Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov commented on an event on Saturday as he attacked Western sanctions on Russian interests.
“As for the concept behind the use of coercive measures, the West is making it clear that it does not want to try to change the policy of the Russian Federation … they want to change the regime, practically no one denies it,” Lavrov said in a meeting of a foreign and domestic policy council in Moscow.
His words reflect the deterioration of his government’s relations with the United States and many European nations due to the conflict in Ukraine. Western powers accuse Russia of sending troops and equipment to help separatists in eastern Ukraine in their fight against Ukrainian government forces.
Moscow has expressed moral support for the rebels and sent aid convoys to the region, but has repeatedly denied military involvement.
‘A new low in relationS.‘
Lavrov’s comments on Saturday represent “a new low in relations,” according to Russian expert Ben Judah.
“Not since 1984 has a Russian foreign minister described ties with the West and his plans for” regime change “in such obscure terms,” Judah, the author of a book on Russia under President Vladimir, wrote on Twitter. Putin.
Putin has been in power in Russia, both as prime minister and president, for the past 15 years.
Lavrov’s words seem to follow Putin’s comments earlier this week that the West, particularly the United States, is still striving to “subjugate” Russia.
Biden slams “Russian aggression”
Western officials, meanwhile, continued to criticize Russia’s interference in Ukraine.
US Vice President Joe Biden, visiting Kiev on Friday, said he discussed “the threat to Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity represented by Russian aggression” in his conversations with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko.
Biden made it clear on Friday that the takeover of Crimea remains a backbone in U.S. relations with Russia.
“Let me say as clearly and categorically as possible, America does not and will not recognize the Russian occupation and the attempted annexation of Crimea,” Biden said. “We will not do it, we will not do it and we insist that others do not accept this illegal annexation.”

How They’re Made
Precision shoulder screws are turned from bar using CNC machine tools that tightly control tolerances and dimensions. While most machine screws are cold forged from coil using cold heading equipment with rolled threads as a secondary process, U.S. Shoulder Screws feature cut threads specifically engineered for precision applications.
Cut Threads vs. Rolled Threads
Rolled threads tend to be stronger, because no material is removed when rolling the threads and the grain flows in the metal run in more than one direction. However, rolling threads results in diameter reduction. For example, on a 1” diameter bar, after rolling the major diameter of the threads is reduced to .912.”
Rolled threaded product is typically produced using a forging process, which overall is less precise as a manufacturing method than turning, and tooling costs are prohibitive for smaller production lot sizes.
Benefits of Cut Threads
Though more expensive to manufacture, cut threads are highly precise. Because parts are turned from bar, there are other benefits of the precision manufacturing attributed to cut threads, including:
- Undercuts beneath the head to ensure that the head can lay flush against a perfectly flat surface – which are common in tool and die designs.
- A precision shoulder that is undersized to the nominal size to provide a clearance fit when installed in a hole. The smooth shoulder acts as a pivot or bearing surface while minimizing wear and resistance from friction.
- A precision head that is carefully controlled for height and diameter. Other head features such as knurling for finger loosening and tightening can be done in a single manufacturing process, whereas with forging, such features must be completed as a secondary process.
- A drive system to enable torqued installation using tools. Standard drives are hex-socket. Six-lobe designs (Torx™ style) are available in limited supply from stock, but can be manufactured to order.

A SERIAL post box thief has stolen more than a dozen from across Wiltshire in just over two months.
Since the end of August, Wiltshire Police officers say they have received 12 reports of Royal Mail boxes being stolen at various locations across the county.
Four of these were stolen on September 12.
They are all working post boxes, the type which are fixed to a pole, and have apparently been cut free from the posts and stolen.
Officers believe they have been stolen for their scrap value.
The locations are:
• West Lavington (stolen on August 31).
• Fonthill Gifford (September 10)
• Langley Wood, Salisbury (September 12)
• Briar Leaze, Compton Bassett (September 12)
• Corsley Heath, Corsley, near Warminster (September 12)
• Springfield Road, Rowde (September 12)
• Manningford Bruce (September 23)
• Manningford Abbots (September 26)
• Wilsford (September 27)
• Easterton Sands, Easterton (October 9)
• Westwood Road, Trowbridge (November 1)
• Mill Lane, Poulshot (November 2)
PC Michelle Haley said: “These are the 12 offences which have been reported to us, but there is a possibility that there have been further incidents which haven’t yet been reported.
“The thieves seem to be targeting post boxes in quieter, rural areas, and not only are they stealing the boxes but also the mail inside.
“These boxes may have been stolen for their scrap metal value, or perhaps because they may be collectable items, so we are appealing for anyone with information to come forward.
“If you have seen any post boxes for sale in unusual or suspicious circumstances then please contact us.”
Anyone with information should call PC Haley on 101, quoting crime reference 54190109101. Alternatively you can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.

Flowers at a wedding are not only traditional, but also perform a role themselves. Choosing flowers in vibrant tones will make a statement, but must be very carefully coordinated with the theme and color palette selected for the wedding. Muted shades in creams or lilac create a dreamier effect and a peaceful backdrop for the exciting day. Also, it is not simply about the color combinations; you need to think about the combination of scents as well! Whatever your preference, choosing your wedding flowers is no easy feat, so finding the right florist is extremely important.
Flowers share your journey down the aisle and appear in many of the photographs, so whether you choose to make them a focal point or not, they still do need to be fabulous. When considering the choices, start with the seasons. While you can have flowers flown in from the far-flung corners of the world, we recommend working with the blooms that are naturally flowering at the time that you are getting married. The flowers will be fresh, vibrant and naturally blend with the landscape around you in the photographs. It will also be far less costly in most instances.
Petals may be pretty and claim the hearts of most, but do not neglect foliage. Some of the best bouquets combine greenery and blooms to charming effects. The green, silver and blue tones that foliage can introduce will add depth to your bouquet and succulents and herbs have become popular in recent months.
The bride’s bouquet in particular, will be on display and it will be next to her gown. Although it should go without saying that the style and shape of the flowers will need to suit the dress. Handtied trailing arrangements work for rustic brides, but more compact arrangements of roses, peonies or hydrangeas complement a more structured dress.
Although it is often the part that couples least want to acknowledge in wedding planning, you do need to keep your budget in mind. Starting with seasonal flowers sets you on a good path to avoid paying a premium, but there are other options. If you have a green thumb or have someone close to the wedding party who does, try sourcing some of your flowers wholesale and arranging them yourself or with the help of a friend or family member who has the eye and experience. You may have a floral star in your midst without even realizing it. You do not have to take the entire wedding on. Perhaps choose to do the reception arrangements yourself and leave the bouquets to the professionals.
Alternatively, choosing blooms with larger flower heads can also help you spend less. A larger flower size means you will need fewer of them to make the same-sized arrangement, so it can help to keep costs down. This approach works particularly well for bridesmaids bouquets, which often have simpler designs.
Once you have explored the flower options and find yourself inspired, it is time to select a florist to make those ideas a reality. The real key to success here is to match your florist to the flowers you want.
Ask to see the portfolios from as many different local florists as you can. You are looking for the one who has experience creating flowers in a similar style to what you envision for your wedding. Ask questions – getting the florist talking about their own designs is a great way to see how well that florist will fit your wedding theme and bridal style. Finally, if you are not a flower fan or have allergies, why not go faux with a crystal, button or fabric flower bouquet instead. There really is something for every bride when it comes to wedding flowers.

We asked five experts if DNA testing was worthwhile. Four out of five said yes.
Genetic testing companies are offering tests that analyze the ends of your chromosomes – telomeres – to gauge your health and your real age. But is there scientific evidence to support such tests?
Most common chronic diseases are the outcome of complex interactions between genetic, environmental and social risk factors, so a genetic risk score, on its own, isn't much help.
Estimating our ancestry is hard – because our backgrounds are much more mixed up than we thought. So don't take your DNA ancestry test results literally: they're just a prediction.
The results of genetic ancestry tests are grossly over-simplified. A new study shows the tests reinforce what you want to believe rather than offering objective, scientific proof of who you are.
Genetics is influencing more and more of our decisions, but we can't make the right choices if we don't understand it.
Data and privacy issues are tangled up in the DNA reports consumers get from big genetic testing companies – and the third-party sites they turn to in order to glean more from their raw DNA.
More people are sending off saliva samples to find out about their genetic roots. But the raw DNA results go way beyond genealogical data – and could deliver unintended consequences.

Low visibility cancels 8 trains as cold wave grips north India
NEW DELHI: Mercury levels dropped significantly across north India, after a cold wave gripped multiple parts of the region on Sunday, with the railway services taking a hit.
19 trains were delayed, two rescheduled and eight cancelled due to low visibility in the national Capital, while the air quality remained "moderate" throughout the day.
The Central Pollution Control Board stated that high moisture content in the air could increase smog in the coming week.
With minimum temperature recorded at 7.8 degrees Celsius, Delhi woke up to a clear Sunday morning. Humidity was recorded at 73 per cent at 8.30 am, an official of the Indian Meteorological Department said.
Visibility was recorded at 1,500 meters at 5.30 am, and improved significantly to 3,000 meters at 8:30 am.
The CPCB also observed that Delhi was faced with a complex set of meteorological factors in early November, when pollution levels had peaked.
The situation, between November 7-12, was more hostile as compared to last year's peak pollution episode, recorded between October 30-November 7, CPCB's air lab chief Dipankar Saha said.
According to data shared by the CPCB, the concentration of PM2.5, particulates measuring less than 2.5 microns, ranged between 357 and 611 micrograms per cubic metre (ug/m3) during this year's week-long emergency pollution spell.
Last year, the levels oscillated between 197 and 709 ug/m3. Products of vehicular and industrial combustion among others, PM2.5 are air-borne particles which can lodge deep in the lungs and trigger respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. Winds blew at a rate of 1 to 1.4 metres per second, while during last year's emergency spell, it had gone up to 3 metres per second.
Relative humidity this year oscillated between 60.2-75.8 per cent this time, as compared to last year's 47.8-63.3.
High humidity signifies the presence of moisture in the air, which helps trap pollutants near the surface, spiking levels of pollution. Lastly, average levels of temperature hovered between 21.6-23.6 degrees Celsius, lower than 22.9-26.1 recorded in 2016.
During winters, there is a drop in inversion layer, which is a boundary beyond which pollutants cannot disperse into the upper layer of the atmosphere.


BIZARRE moment UFO disappears behind clouds
The odd "doughnut-shaped" object is seen moving along at apparently the same speed as the ISS itself.
According to Streetcap1, who uploaded the footage to his YouTube channel, the object was a UFO and one viewer said it leaves "displaced tracks" as it fades away.
He wrote with his video: "Not a clue what this is but was lucky to catch it on the HD cams tonight.
One viewer posted on YouTube: "Remember UFO is not an alien spaceship, it means unidentified flying object."
Another said: "Cool. You could even see the cloud displacement/tracks."
The alleged UFO or lens flare that disappeared into a cloud
It is not the first time a "doughnut UFO" has been filmed by the ISS - and so far they have all been exposed as lens flares.
Lens flares occur when light refracts inside the camera and the a reflection of the light appears on the projected image, meaning nothing is actually there.
Scott Brando, a forensic UFO investigator, said the latest "find" by Streetcap 1 was just another lens flare.
He has previously scoured the original footage from the ISS to find the source of the lens flare and then uploaded a video exposing the hoax to his website ufoofinterest.org.
Ufoofinterest.org shows how lens flares are mistaken as UFOs.
Strange craft filmed from ISS... Is it a UFO?
This is a typical lens flare, the type of which has already been explained many times.
Speaking about the later video, he said: "This is a typical lens flare, the type of which has already been explained many times."
Despite the evidence, there is no convincing Scott C Waring, editor of ufosightingsdaily.com, that it is not a alien space craft.
He blogged: "This is an extraordinary find by Streetcap1 of Youtube.
"This is a UFO recorded on the live NASA space station cam.
"The interesting thing about it is that it actually passes below the clouds.
"That means this object has perfectly matched the speed of the space station and is traveling at an altitude of most passenger jets.
"Sure alien tech has no difficulty in keeping up with the 27,600 km/h space station, but still its remarkable to see it pass below those clouds.
"The size of the UFO looks to be about 1/3 that of the space station. That makes the UFO about 33 meters across."

Living life well: Rehabilitation matters (Professor Marion Walker MBE)
Our Keynote Lecture showcases the latest advancements being made in stroke research. It took place this year on Wednesday 2 May at Guildhall, London.
This year's lecture was delivered by Professor Marion Walker MBE, Professor of Stroke Rehabilitation and Associate Pro Vice-Chancellor for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion at the University of Nottingham.
Professor Walker has a strong research portfolio covering a wide area of local, national and international research projects. She is a strong advocate of patient partnership and has co-chaired the Nottingham Stroke Research Partnership Group for 10 years. She is also a Stroke Association trustee. Marion was awarded an MBE in 2012, as part of The Queen's New Year Honours list, for her service to stroke rehabilitation and stroke survivors.
Professor Walker addressed the audience with her lecture: 'Living life well: Rehabilitation matters', which covered the crucial part rehabilitation plays in restoring the quality of life, not only for the patient but also for those close to them. We heard from Martin, a stroke survivor, who shared his personal experience of how rehabilitation played a very significant role in his recovery process.
Professor Walker also discussed the current state of rehabilitation provision highlighting the important role that the Stroke Association plays in developing research capacity in this vital area.
Research Awards Ceremony

LONDON: Sport needs more sophisticated tests to outwit athletes taking performance-enhancing drugs, according to Britains Olympic triple jump champion Jonathan Edwards.
Unfortunately, it is an inevitable part of modern sport that there will be people trying to cheat, Edwards said on Tuesday.
The recent discovery of the previously undetectable steroid THG has shaken the world of sport. Test results on samples taken from this years World Championships in Paris revealed that two athletes tested positive for THG.
Five athletes, including Britains European 100m champion Dwain Chambers, have tested positive.
I certainly hope he (Chambers) took it believing the advice he got was good, Edwards said.
Chambers was suspended this month and now faces a disciplinary hearing.
Edwards was speaking at the launch of a new partnership between the British Olympic Association (BOA) and the Engineering Technology Board (ETB), a professional body working to improve the profile of science and technology in Britain.
Edwards believes science can help fight doping in sport, particularly through the development of new tests.
We need to be as clever as the people cheating, he said.
THG was unearthed by the United States Anti-Doping Agency when an unnamed track and field coach provided the body with the names of US and international athletes who he said were using the steroid.
THG had been tweaked by chemists to make it undetectable under normal testing conditions.
ETB chiefs hope science and technology can provide British athletes with the best chance of success at the 2004 Athens Olympics. Reuters

Potency enhancing products contain high quality protein in an easily digestible form, vitamins, macro and micro elements. Classic set: seafood, fish, lean meat from animals and birds, vegetables and fruits. With spices you can increase the effect even more.
Seafood are considered to be the most effective for increasing potency due toa high content of zinc, high-quality protein, as well as phosphorus, B vitamins (with their deficiency, the conductivity of nerve fibers deteriorates), selenium. . . Zinc is an important ingredient in maintaining male reproductive health (Best Zinc Food For Men). It takes part in the synthesis of testosterone, inhibits the process of its breakdown and conversion into female estrogens. Zinc deficiency manifests itself in a decrease in potency and vitality in general.
Seafood includes invertebrates that live in the oceans:
- Shellfish: oysters, clams;
- Crustaceans: crabs, prawns;
- Cephalopods: squid, octopus;
Fish is a food category of its own. To increase potency, the following varieties are particularly useful: salmon, mackerel, flounder, halibut, sardines, tuna.
Quail eggs, along with oysters, are considered a classic dish to increase potency, but ordinary chicken eggs are not far behind them. Contrary to popular belief, the cholesterol contained in the yolk does not clog blood vessels, but is a building material for testosterone and cortisol molecules. Regular consumption of eggs lowers the amount of bad cholesterol in the blood, which reduces the risk of vascular erectile dysfunction. The egg yolk also contains zinc, iron and the fat-soluble vitamins D, A, E, which are essential for the function of the gonads.
In addition, in order to maintain normal potency, a man needs protein and egg is almost 100% ingested. An adult can safely eat several eggs a day.
Nuts and seeds
Nuts are heavy food for the stomach, but healthy for potency. To avoid digestive problems, you cannot consume more than a handful per day. Nuts contain a lot of zinc, magnesium, potassium, selenium and amino acids. Their presence in food improves the condition of the cardiovascular and endocrine systems and stimulates the functioning of the gonads.
The following nuts are most useful for potency:
To increase potency, best in a mixture with honey or in the form of nut milk, which you can make at home. For preparation, the nuts must first soaked for 6-8 hours, then diluted with water in a ratio of 1: 5 (100 g of nuts to 500 ml of water), grind in a mixer, strain the resulting mass. Milk can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
An in-depth article on nuts that improve male potency.
Of the seeds for potency, pumpkin seeds are the most useful - they are valuable for their high zinc content. However, in addition to this element, there are many other nutrients that are necessary for the normal functioning of the reproductive system:
- A complete set of B vitamins.
- Vitamins A and C.
- A complete set of vitamin E tocopherols (ideal for assimilation).
- Calcium, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus.
- Fatty acid.
Seeds of industrial hemp, flax, chia, oat germ and wheat are also useful for potency.
In animal and poultry meat there is little fear of especially cholesterol and many amino acids, which are necessary for building muscle and maintaining the balance of sex hormones. To increase potency, you need to choose low-fat varieties of young people and cook them using gentle methods: in the oven, steamed or grilled. In this way, the nutrients are better preserved and their later absorption through the stomach is made easier. Fried steaks, kebabs or fat ribs are obese, bad cholesterol and carcinogenic.
To maintain potency, the following types of meat are the most useful:
- beef. . . It contains a lot of zinc, amino acids, vitamins B, A, E, PP. The meat is tough, so it is advisable to cook minced meat from it first and then steam cutlets, meatballs, meatballs and casseroles.
- Rabbit meat. . . It exceeds chicken by 21% in protein content, 90% is absorbed by the body (beef only 60%).
- veal. . . The meat comes from animals between 3 and 5 months of age. It is a valuable protein product with a high content of protein, iron, B vitamins.
- Turkey meat. . . It is considered to be the safest of all industrial poultry meats.
- Quail meat. . . This is a diet product that is high in retinol, B vitamins, PP, phosphorus, and potassium.
Chicken and pork have been of questionable quality in recent years due to growth-promoting additives. Meat from wild animals is also useful to increase potency, but must be properly prepared before the heat treatment.
Of the vegetables for improving male potency, the most valuable are:
- Beet, carrot, pumpkin;
- Tomato puree;
- Romaine lettuce, rocket, watercress;
Remember that eating too many raw vegetables leads to gas and bowel discomfort. The diet should be balanced: 2/3 fiber and 1/3 animal protein.
Fruits and berries
Fruits and berries are not only rich in vitamins, but also in acids that strengthen the vascular walls and promote blood circulation.To increase potency, it is recommended to use watermelons, avocados, figs, Bananas,Cranberries, goji berries. . . From garden berries to stimulate libido, raspberries, strawberries, sea buckthorn are useful (more foods that increase libido in men).
Potency improves if you drink a peanut milkshake with bananas, strawberries and other berries 2-4 times a week.
herbs and spices
The following spices increase the potency:
- Caraway seed.
Turmeric (turmeric) is also useful for potency.
Few men regularly consume bee products. However, they are the most easily accessible source of bioactive substances that are valuable for potency. The most common product used in beekeeping is honey. It can be added to morning porridge, cocktails, mixed with nuts.
Perga (pollen in lumps) is less popular. Men who want to improve their potency are advised to take one tablespoon daily on an empty stomach. This natural product contains almost the entire periodic table.
Recipe for male potency from honey, walnuts, propolis and pollen
What fruits are good for men
For the normal performance of sexual function, the body must receive a sufficient amount of vitamins and minerals. They contain fruits. Sometimes you can build sexual function just from a fruit diet. With the use of these natural products, sexual function can be restored. Fruits rich in folic and ascorbic acid are of particular importance in this context.
Citrus fruits are excellent sources of ascorbic acid for the body. The body as a whole is strengthened and the sexual sphere is of higher quality. Mangoes, figs, kiwi and pomegranates are very useful.
Products for fast-acting potency - are there any?
Instantly activating potency from eating a certain food won't work, but you can increase blood flow and make nerve endings more sensitive. Fresh seafood, sour cream, nuts are suitable for this.
Among vegetables, the most useful roots of ginger, horseradish, parsley and garlic are the most useful for quickly improving potency. It is better to use them in the form of alcoholic tinctures:
- On garlic: pour 200 g of crushed garlic, 200 ml of alcohol (70%), let rest for 10 days, drain. To be taken with milk: 5 drops of tincture per 50 ml of milk.
- On ginger: 400 g of root per 1 liter of vodka. Insist 2 weeks. You can add a few tablespoons of honey (a good preservative). To increase arousal, it is enough to drink 30-50 g.
Alcoholic tincture made from ginger
- On horseradish ("horseradish"): 100 g grated horseradish root, 30 g ginger root, 1 liter of high quality moonlight, 2 tablespoons of honey. Let the mixture steep for 3-4 days. To improve potency, you can drink about 50 g just before sex.
- On parsley: 125 g of chopped roots, pour 0. 5 liters of vodka, leave to rest for 3 weeks. Drink a vigorous infusion of 15 ml daily.
Garlic, ginger, and parsley tinctures are especially good for men over 50. They improve potency by stimulating the sex glands and increasing blood flow.
It is advisable to eat parsley and celery greens not only fresh, but also freeze them for the winter (there are a lot of nitrates in greenhouse products).
Drugs to improve erectile function
The quickest way to get the boner back and prolong sexual intercourse is to take a drug that increases the erection. However, it is impossible to abuse drugs as they are addicting, have certain contraindications and side effects.
If erectile problems rarely occur, there are no chronic diseases, then you can take stimulants in the form of tablets - they act quickly, the therapeutic effect lasts for several hours. To avoid counterfeiting, first of all, you can see what the drugs look like in the photo.
List of effective drugs:
Potency pills should not be taken if there are problems with the heart, blood vessels, liver, ulcers, hypotension. It is not recommended to combine the drug with alcohol and fatty foods.
Means for external use are safer than pills, but their effect is shorter, so they need to be applied 5-15 minutes before sexual intercourse.
A short but strong and sustained erection can be achieved after applying the usual nitroglycerin or heparin ointment to the penis. They quickly expand blood vessels, activate blood circulation, are characterized by low cost and safety.
Drops and supplements
The preparations of the drop idea are characterized by their natural composition, cumulative effect and ease of use.
They contain a lot of vitamins and trace elements, the drug helps eliminate erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, increases libido, improves semen quality and promotes testosterone synthesis. You need to take 3-5 drops once a day for 15-30 days. Bad, not a drug.
Products that reduce potency
For potency, products are harmful, the use of which has a negative effect on the condition of blood vessels and blood composition, promotes weight gain and distorts hormone levels. These include:
- Trans fats. . . Almost all fast food and semi-finished products are made on their basis: hamburger chops, chips, crackers, snacks, sweets, dumplings. Frequent consumption of such foods in the diet inevitably leads to an increase in high cholesterol, blood thickening, worsening of erection and decreased libido. It is very difficult to get rid of the fat accumulated from such a diet. The WHO recommends reducing the intake of trans fats to 1% of the daily calories.
- Sweet. . . Those with a sweet tooth only know about health problems when they encounter obesity and the risk of diabetes mellitus. Elevated blood sugar leads to nerve damage and impotence. Body fat actively converts testosterone to female estrogen.
- Smoked meat. . . Substances contained in smoking liquids and vapors impair the function of the testicles. The testosterone synthesis decreases with a subsequent deterioration in potency.
Beer does great harm to potency. A rare man will not get a heavy stomach or enlarged mammary glands due to its regular use. Beer disrupts the hormonal background, there is a tendency to estrogen, potency decreases, and andropause accelerates.
Another option for drinks that extremely negatively affect potency is sweet carbonated alcoholic cocktails, as well as carbonated sweet drinks and other soft drinks.
To lose weight
Apple cider vinegar can help you lose weight for several reasons:
One of the most important ingredients in vinegar is pectin, a soluble fiber found in a wide variety of fruits and vegetables.
Pectin is able to "trap" sugars present in the intestines, slowing their absorption and releasing less insulin.
In order to prevent the accumulation of fat and excess pounds, it is very important to maintain constant and low levels of insulin, low levels of insulin stimulate fat loss, and on the contrary, high levels of insulin activate fat accumulation. Pectin stimulates intestinal motility and promotes good colon cleansing, which prevents constipation and flatulence
Pectin stimulates intestinal motility and promotes good colon cleansing, which prevents constipation and flatulence.
In addition, pectin shortens the absorption time of nutrients in the intestinal tract and makes you feel full.
All of these factors will help you lose weight and control your weight.
In addition, natural apple cider vinegar helps remove excess fluid, has a diuretic effect, prevents swelling and cellulite.
It also helps flush out toxins that build up in the body, polluting it, and slowing down various processes including the process of losing weight.
Unfiltered apple cider vinegar contains sediment, this sediment is rich in probiotic bacteria that promote intestinal health.
Of course, in addition to taking apple cider vinegar, you need to stick to a healthy diet, eat in moderation and not sit all day.
How Much Apple Cider Vinegar Should You Drink Each Day to Lose Weight?
It is recommended that you take a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar about 30 minutes before each meal and dilute the vinegar in a glass of room temperature water.
For flavor, you can add a spoonful of honey. Don't use apple cider vinegar if you have a hydro-salt imbalance.
If you have cardiovascular problems, moderate intake of apple cider vinegar is recommended due to its high potassium content.
Excessive doses can cause some side effects such as nausea, gastrointestinal upset, and irritation.
In Japan, a study involving men was conducted and they were divided into two groups. Part of them drank 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar diluted with water. For 12 weeks, and the other part drank a placebo. At the same time, the participants did not change their diet or lifestyle.
The men who drank apple cider vinegar lost 2 kg in 12 weeks. This is explained by the fact that vinegar has a filling effect, decreases appetite and decreases calorie intake.
As strange as it sounds, meat is an excellent tool for enhancing a man's sexual activity. Of course, if it is consumed in large quantities, it will overload the stomach. Then the blood flow is directed to the digestive organ so that the matter does not get into sexual intercourse. But with moderate consumption of meat, a man's potency increases.
Do you want to be a real Casanova? Then be sure to include the following types of meat in your menu:
- a rabbit
Eat pork and duck in small quantities. It's too greasy, contains a lot of cholesterol. The positive effect of meat on male strength is determined by the type of preparation. To better absorb the product, use it cooked. Fried and smoked meat will only make the situation worse.
What lowers libido
What not to eat, especially regularly:
- Chips and salty snacks- they contain abnormal doses of salt. This is due to a deterioration in blood flow, which is reflected in insufficient blood flow, including in the reproductive system.
- Sweets. . . The second most important problem for the cardiovascular system, and therefore erection - sugar, which is used in the industrial manufacture of sweets, cakes, desserts and cheap chocolate products. It is better to stay away from such products that have a negative effect on a man's strength.
- Pizza, white flour products- such foods are harmful to the proper functioning of the reproductive system, reduce libido and testosterone levels.
- Fatty foods- in particular trans fats (margarines, fried foods, french fries, various ready meals).
- alcohol- An aphrodisiac in small amounts, but with excessive use it becomes a killer of male power.
These are products that reduce potency, so it is recommended to use them infrequently or to refuse them completely. They not only have a negative effect on sexuality, but also on health in general.
Let's talk about drinks
If you are eating the "right" food, you need to know what to drink for good potency.
Caffeine stimulates emotions. Just 1 cup of coffee improves metabolism, increases blood pressure, and increases stamina by releasing fat and converting it into energy. This quality is capable of sustaining sexual activity throughout the night.
1 ELAloe vera gel with 1 teaspoon of honey, taken 3 times a day, activates the blood circulation in the pelvic area and ensures maximum sexual performance. You can buy aloe juice from a pharmacy.
Ginger + ginseng
Ginseng helps with erectile dysfunction and forms the perfect mixture together with ginger, which has a warming effect. Prepare ginger tea (2 teaspoons of crushed root per 250 ml of boiling water), after cooling slightly, add 20 drops of ginseng extract.
Green or black tea
Thanks to its antioxidants, green tea has good effects on the cardiovascular system. It can be a great alternative to coffee, which is not recommended for people with high blood pressure. Green tea is a great energy and vitality donor, including in the genital area for men's health. High-quality black tea is also suitable for this.
