In your article, you forgot one thing: Paul Krugman won a Nobel prize for economics and you didn't. He is one smart gentleman. Do have a glorious Christmas and may your heart be softened may you speak of and about the President. Happy Christmas Eve. Maybe I'll say a prayer for you at Midnight Mass. Who Made Krugman the Expert? Cronies Did
Dear Comrade Jones,
I dont forget that Krugman has a Nobel prize. I discount the award to present value:
The sum of which equals BS.
Youre talking about the same anti-Semites who only awarded only ONE Nobel prize to Albert Einstein the greatest physicist ever; who gave Yasser Arafat, Jimmy Carter and Al Gore a Nobel prize and... a Nobel prize to Barack Obama?
Come on. Explain to me why Obama deserved a Nobel prize?
I still havent heard a credible explanation about how he earned that prize.
It seems more like he got one for making a cameo appearance as a black man in the government of the United States. Liberals have no shame that way.
If you told me he got an Academy award for best supporting actor, Id believe it. But Nobel prize? Come on.
The Nobel prize thus has no meaning for me.
So, if you want to remind people that Krugman has a Nobel then go ahead.
This is what I know: Despite following Krugmans recipe for economic success more money, more money, more moneyObamas produced an economy that is sending corporate profits up and job creation down.
There has never, ever been more money than there is today. Ever. The rate at which money travels through the system has never, ever been as slow. Ever.
Both the money supply and the money velocity is something that can be helped or hurt by government policy.
And despite this unprecedented money supply, regular folks arent benefiting.Rather the government is benefiting big time. Being located near enough to D.C. to know how much the city has swelled since the 1970s, it should be obvious to you who has benefited the most from increased government spending.
Assuming our GDP is somewhere around $16.5 trillion this year, government spending-to-GDP will come out at about 39 percent of GDP. From 1938 through 1944, the height of the New Deal AND the war effort, federal government spending was only 26.5 percent of GDP.
And what do we have for it?
As of 2012, according to the most recent figures reported by the Census Bureau, median (midpoint) income for all U.S. households was $51,017, writes Obamas friends at FactCheck.org, which was 4.9 percent lower (in inflation-adjusted dollars) than it was in 2008, the year before Obama took office The number of persons living in poverty also worsened again in 2012, according to the most recent Census figures. As of last year, 46,496,000 persons lived in households with income below the official poverty line, an increase of nearly 6.7 million since 2008 and 249,000 since 2011. The total poverty rate remained unchanged in 2012 at 15 percent of the total U.S. population. So for the second straight year, the poverty rate was 1.8 points higher than it was in 2008.
According to a report by Intrest.com, there is only one major city where the average household income is sufficient to buy a new car.
You guessed it: Washington, DC.
According to the 2013 Car Affordability Study by Interest.com, says CNBC via Yahoo Finance, only in Washington could the typical household swing the payments, the median income there running $86,680 a year. At the other extreme, Tampa, Fla., was at the bottom of the 25 large cities included in the study, with a median household income of $43,832.
Only the countries of Lichtenstein and Qatar enjoy higher per capita income than DCs median income of $86,680 a year.
Thank goodness. All this time, I thought that the runaway federal spending was just fueling a sense of entitlement, privilege and contempt for us commoners amongst the people who run our government.
So whatever else Krugman knows about, he doesnt know nothing about how an actual economy works.
Even he admits as much, although he doesnt even realize it:
On both the healthcare and inflation fronts, Krugman wrote in early December what you have to conclude is that there are a large number of people who find reality the reality that governments are actually pretty good at providing health insurance, that fiat money can be a useful tool of economic management rather than the road to socialist disaster just unacceptable. I think that in both cases it has to do with the underlying desire to see market outcomes as moral imperatives.
If thats the kind of result that wins you a Nobel prize, then I would discourage Nobel prizes.
I see it as the economic equivalent of peeing in the well from which you drink.
That said: I wouldnt worry about Sarah Palin if I were you. She seems to be doing OK, without interfering at all in your life.
When youre at church you can thank Jesus for being the reason for the season, and while youre at it you can explain to him why you tell people happy holidays instead of Merry Christmas.
And since youre a hypocritical Catholic, who thinks that he can preach to me about how Jesus was a socialist, let me tell you that I ALWAYS pray for you.
Every night I do.Every night.
There is no maybe for me.
Robert wrote: I wish you were gay. You send shivers up and down my leg. How's "Tingle Down" Economics Working for You Comrade Chris Matthews?
Yeah! And Obama got a “Peace Prize” and we have been at war ever since.
And that is a fact
Every time I see that pic, it makes me want to throw up. The very Idea that ANY US OFFICIAL would ever give this morally bankrupt, gangster rapper, POS, recognition of even being alive is repulsive, but it is John Kerry and he did serve in Vietnam. Un Frickin Believable, we really do live in a TRUE BANANA REPUBLIC now.
And people ask why I don’t watch TV
According to Krugman and Krew, a rising tide raises all boats, but it has to rise big Gummint’s boat first to be any good.

More than 2m couples hold-off awkward financial conversations
One in seven couples over the age of 40 admits that they have never discussed their finances with each other. This is around 4.22m people in the UK.
15% of those surveyed said that they feel uncomfortable talking to their partners about financial planning.
Vince Smith-Hughes, retirement expert at Prudential said: “Money can be a tough topic to discuss at the best of times.
“Many couples prefer to steer clear of conversations about finances, and especially discussions about longer-term issues like retirement which might feel light-years away.
“Yet it really pays to be honest about your financial situation. Being open about discussing long-term financial planning as early as possible will help couples to ensure they can enjoy a comfortable retirement together.”
Only household chores (27%) and disputes about family (30%) are more likely to cause disagreements.
Even for the majority of couples who do discuss their retirement plans, long-term issues are likely to be side-lined, as short-term everyday expenses take priority.
According to Prudential, daily living costs and household bills are regularly discussed by the majority of couples (60 per cent and 52 per cent respectively), and one in three couples (34 per cent) speak about the costs of home improvements, large purchases and luxuries.
Discussions about long-term planning are far not as often discussed, with only 16% of couples claiming to regularly talk about retirement income and pension planning.
Only three per cent of couples claim they have had conversations about inheritance planning and tax.
Only 13% of respondents said they had seen a financial adviser with their partners in the past five years.
A further 13% say they or their partner has seen an adviser separately within this timeframe and 8 per cent have seen an adviser but not within the past five years.
The vast majority (66 per cent) have never seen a financial adviser to discuss retirement planning.
Vince Smith-Hughes added: “Websites like www.pensionsadvisoryservice.org.uk/ and www.moneyadviceservice.org.uk/ can help with some in-depth information about retirement options.
“A joint conversation with a financial adviser should help couples to make the right pension savings decisions during their working lives, so that they’ll have the right income to support their lifestyles in retirement.”

By Sarah Mac Donald - 24 October, 2019
The closure of the Irish subsidiary of US multinational Molex and the loss of 500 jobs in Shannon has been described as “a devastating blow” by the Bishop of Killaloe.
In a statement on Wednesday, Bishop Fintan Monahan said that like many others he was greatly concerned to hear about the phased closure of the Irish plant.
“The loss of 500 jobs is a devastating blow to the employees, their families and to the local economy,” he stated.
He added that he was in Shannon on Monday night, in the wake of the announcement, and could “feel the dark cloud affecting everyone following the news of this serious employment loss”.
The Bishop said the news was evidence that “we are living more-and-more in a two-tier Ireland – with the regions losing out”.
Paying tribute to the “wonderful spirit and resilience” of the people of Shannon, he said his concern was that young families, people managing mortgages and domestic bills, with childcare commitments, would be the first impacted.
“I am asking that special prayers be offered at Masses throughout the Diocese of Killaloe this weekend for the intentions of employees, for the prospect of obtaining new skills and employment, and most of all that their hope in the future can be restored.”
Dr Monahan said it was “incumbent on our public representatives to act decisively and quickly in order to allay the fears of families and to serve the common good”.
He called on the Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation, Heather Humphreys, as well as local politicians, and relevant State agencies, to prioritise the region in terms of “sustaining employment opportunities for this skilled workforce between now and when the plant closes at the end of 2020.”
“Shannon was the world’s first free trade zone when it was created 50 years ago and employs people from all over Ireland and many other nationalities.”
But he added that it was also true that Shannon’s businesses have been struggling a lot in recent years and he said the Molex news was devastating for the local economy.
He stressed that the announcement not only directly affected Molex workers but jeopardised thousands of ancillary industries which rely for survival on the pay spend of Molex employees.
Molex makes a range of electronic components for use in industries such as data communications, consumer electronics, industrial, automotive, commercial vehicle and medical components.
The company is based in the Shannon Free Zone.
In a statement, it said the decision had been made following a review of its product lines.
The closure is expected to take place in a series of phases starting in early 2020. It’s anticipated the facility will close completely by the end of next year.
Molex opened in Shannon in 1971.

It is the responsibility of every home owner to look after the health and look of their lawn because this is the one thing that tells what their home looks like on the outside and gives it a certain appeal to other people. Lawn care can become very challenging on the part of any home owner. You have to make sure to regularly tend to your lawn where your grass will continue growing healthy and not be taken over by weeds or be growing way too high.

fava beans or bakla : a bean rich in L-dopa | recipe of bakla ki subzi
This vegetable is called as Bakla in Hindi and Fava beans or broad beans in the western world. Interestingly while trying to find out more about this bean I discovered that it's name is Bakalaink in Balochi language, Baghalee in Persian and Baqueela in Ethiopia. So the name Bakla might be a descendant from these languages and it may be an import from these regions.
The fava beans are rich in L-dopa, a substance used medically in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. L-dopa is also a natriuretic agent (causing discharge of sodium through urine) which might help in controlling hypertension.
Bakla is not as tasty and smooth as french beans so most of the people avoid this vegetable, it has a fibrous texture as the skin of the legume is a bit leathery and the seed coat is thick, but the plus point is that the seeds have a buttery smoothness. So when you chew the beans it bursts into a buttery abundance as the seeds are quite plump.
You can choose to buy the tender bakla if you don't like a fibrous bean but the buttery texture of the seeds will be there in the mature beans only. So choose what you like. I like it any which way, just cook it differently and you can enjoy both tender and mature beans.
This recipe is for the mature beans when the skin of the legume is ready to split and slip away exposing the fat plump seeds, full of flavor. The beans can be cooked in a skillet to avoid disintegrating the beans, but if you cook it in a pressure cooker and allow the beans to be pulpy the flavor of the seeds is enhanced, the seeds will be visible in that case as the skin disintegrates exposing the seeds.
Bakla or Fava beans tipped and tailed 2 cups (I had some extra seeds from mature beans)
whole dry red chillis 2 broken
ginger garlic minced 1 tbsp each
turmeric powder 1 tsp
salt to taste
mustard oil 2 tsp
pinch of hing (asafoetida)
1/4 tsp fenugreek seeds
Heat mustard oil in a pressure cooker pan and fry onions till translucent , add the ginger garlic, fry for a seconds and add th cubed potatoes.
Add the turmeric powder and salt, add the prepared Bakla and toss and cook for 2 minutes.
Add 3-4 tbsp water and pressure cook till the first whistle blows.
Cool the cooker, open the kid and press some of the potatoes to get mushy as it makes the subzi more mixed up and take flavours of each other.
This is a good way of cooking Bakla or Fava beans if you are cooking it for the first time. We cook it with garam masala and other spics too or just a bhujia with garlic and green chillies.
You can also just saute the beans with butter, salt and pepper if the beans are tender.
Now that you know Fava beans are so good for the nervous system and overall health, there is more reason to cook it while the season lasts.
Dry Bakla beans are milled to make dal too. The dal is also used in various ways.

I want to spend some time today introducing you to a new favorite author, Paul Coelho. Paul Coelho was born on August 24, 1947. He is a Brazilian novelist and lyrist.
Paul Coelho is probably most famous for his book, “The Alchemist”. It has been translated into 71 different languages and sold more then 65 million copies. Coelho in total has published 30 books and sold over 100 million books in 150 countries. (from wikipedia)
I am reading “The Alchemist” currently; it was recommended by a dear friend that I would define as have interesting ideas on life. But most, well probably 99.9% of the time I have enjoyed his past recommendations, and without him I would never have found authors such as Franz Kafka or Jorge Luis Borges. He began telling me he was reading Brida, so I checked my local library and found myself in luck. Upon reading Coelho’s background it was actually fitting because, though “The Alchemist” was written first, it didn’t gain popularity till after the publication of “Brida”. “Brida” was one I was barely able to put down, and became, for me, a one day read, staying up into the wee hours to finish the story. “Brida” has many different ideas wrapped into one. Though Brida tends to follow a “Wiccan” or at the very least “Pagan” path, Paul Coelho tends to wind a story together with many religious symbols from different religions and even science, allowing them all to coexist in beautiful harmony. For example, Brida uses Tarot cards in her journey but Coelho in his explanation of soul mates goes back to Adam and Eve. The description on Amazon says,
“Brida, a young Irish girl, has long been interested in various aspects of magic but is searching for something more. Her search leads her to people of great wisdom. She meets a wise man who dwells in a forest, who teaches her to trust in the goodness of the world, and a woman who teaches her how to dance to the music of the world. As Brida seeks her destiny, she struggles to find a balance between her relationships and her desire to become a witch.”
When I reread the description Brida’s desire to become a witch is in reality I suppose she was doing but I as I mentioned above would not define her journey as solely to become a witch; Coehlo took so many diverse ideas and brought them all together into a harmonious journey of finding oneself. Because really that’s all Brida is trying to do. The book does have what I would say a bit of choppiness to it, but you have to remember this is a translation from Coelho’s native Portuguese. I find in a story like this, that’s a fact easily ignored, and though for some the symbolism and lessons Brida are taught may be a bit much to wade through, I definitely recommend you skip rolling your pants up and instead you jump right in.
Though I’m only about halfway through “The Alchemist”, it guarantees to be just as wonderful.
Paul Coehlo's website can be found here where links to his facebook and twitter can be found as well.

Why do large dog breeds have shorter life span than small breeds?
Usually with larger breeds their hearts and hips/legs are the first to go. Just as in humans, the larger you are the more apt you are to heart problems. The heart has to pump harder to get the blood circulating to the areas of the body. The heart is relatively larger in bigger breeds to facilitate this however, it still has to work harder. With the leg/hip problem they’re more suseptable to dysplasia, which is the abnormal growth in the legs and hips ususally ending in dislocation and pain.

What you need:
- Record of Savings Worksheet
- A savings account
Time Required: Between 15-30 minutes
What is a Record of Savings?
A savings record allocates each dollar that enters a savings account, emergency account, or even your piggy bank. It is a monthly reminder that every dollar in the savings has been committed to something. When proper saving techniques are in force, all emergency and non-monthly expenses (such as car tires and repairs) can be satisfied without the need for debt. The savings accounts essentially becomes your own “credit card company”, lending money interest free under the assumption that it will promptly be repaid. The Record of Savings keeps track of several saving categories called “accounts” and their subsequent “sub account”.
Record of Savings Instructions
Although each category is labeled as an account, there normally are only two physial bank accounts. The first is the 3-6 month emergency account, and the second is the “traditional” savings account. The emergency account should not be connected to any debit cards or used as overdraft protection to any other account. It is strictly for emergencies, and keeping it independent protects it from the “I REALLY NEED A NEW ————!!!”
The Record of Savings needs little instruction on setting up. In fact, it looks and behaves similarly to the Simple Budget Worksheet. Because of this worksheet’s simplicity, the emphasis has been moved from filling it out, to smart methods of saving.
The first priority is to fill the emergency accounts, starting with the emergency $1,000 cash account. This first emergency account is typically stored in a safe place in the home, and consists of ten $100 bills. The large bills deters from a

In this article, we will explore a range of foods that are known for their immune-boosting properties.
By incorporating these items into our daily meals, we can fortify our immune system and promote long-term health without the need for extravagant claims or complicated remedies.
Best Foods for the Immune System
- Citrus fruits
- Bell peppers
- Green tea
- Sunflower seeds
- Sweet potatoes
1. Citrus fruits
Citrus fruits like oranges, grapefruits, lemons, and limes are high in vitamin C, a nutrient known for its immune-boosting properties. Vitamin C increases the production of white blood cells, which are key to fighting infections.
Our bodies do not produce or store vitamin C, so regular intake is essential for health. These fruits are also rich in antioxidants that protect against cell damage and help maintain overall health.
2. Bell peppers
Bell peppers are an excellent source of vitamin C, even more so than citrus fruits. They are also packed with beta carotene, which is converted into vitamin A by your body for healthy eyes and skin.
Bell peppers provide a sweet flavor while boosting your immune system.
Consuming a variety of colors, like red, green, and yellow, can help you benefit from their different nutrients.
Broccoli is supercharged with vitamins and minerals. It is rich in vitamins A, C, and E, fiber, and many other antioxidants, making it one of the healthiest vegetables you can put on your table.
The key to preserving its powerful nutrients is to cook it as little as possible, steaming being the best cooking method. Broccoli bolsters the immune system and also supports heart and digestive health.
Garlic is recognized for its value in fighting infections. It has been used for centuries for its medicinal properties. Garlic’s immune-boosting abilities come from a concentration of sulfur-containing compounds, such as allicin.
It may also help lower blood pressure and slow down the hardening of arteries. Incorporating more garlic into your diet is an easy way to bolster immune health.
Ginger is a powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant due to its essential oil, gingerol. It can help decrease inflammation and reduce sore throat and other inflammatory illnesses.
Ginger also aids in nausea reduction and has impressive antiviral and antibacterial properties. These characteristics can boost your immune system and promote overall health.
Spinach is not only rich in vitamin C, but it’s also packed with numerous antioxidants and beta carotene, which increases the infection-fighting ability of our immune systems. Similar to broccoli, spinach is healthiest when it’s cooked as little as possible to retain its nutrients.
However, light cooking enhances its vitamin A and allows other nutrients to be released from oxalic acid, an antinutrient.
Yogurts that are labeled with “live and active cultures” are probiotic-rich, meaning they are filled with beneficial bacteria for your gut. These bacteria strengthen the digestive tract’s defense against harmful pathogens.
Many yogurts are also fortified with vitamin D, which helps regulate the immune system and boosts our body’s natural defenses against diseases.
Almonds are packed with vitamin E, which is key to maintaining a healthy immune system. It’s a fat-soluble vitamin, meaning it requires the presence of fat to be effectively absorbed, and almonds are packed with healthy fats.
Almonds also contain iron and protein that are essential for your immune system. Eating a handful of almonds a day can support both your immune health and nutritional needs.
Turmeric is known for its anti-inflammatory effects, mainly due to a compound called curcumin. Curcumin is known to enhance the body’s immune response.
This bright yellow, bitter spice has also been used for years as an anti-inflammatory in treating osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Incorporating turmeric into your diet can aid in maintaining a healthy immune system.
10. Green Tea
Green tea is packed with flavonoids, a type of antioxidant that enhances the function of the immune system. It also contains epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), another powerful antioxidant.
The fermentation process for black tea destroys a lot of the EGCG, while green tea’s lighter processing method allows it to retain it.
Green tea is also a good source of the amino acid L-theanine, which aids in the production of germ-fighting compounds in your T-cells.
Papaya is another fruit loaded with vitamin C — a single papaya can fulfill more than 200% of your daily vitamin C requirement. It also carries a digestive enzyme called papain that has anti-inflammatory effects.
Papayas have decent amounts of potassium, B vitamins, and folate, all of which are beneficial to your overall health. Eating papaya can boost your immunity and improve digestion.
Kiwi fruits are naturally full of a ton of essential nutrients, including folate, potassium, vitamin K, and vitamin C.
Vitamin C boosts the white blood cells to fight infection, while the other nutrients in kiwi keep the rest of your body functioning properly. Regular consumption of kiwi is a tasty and nourishing way to support the immune system.
Poultry, such as chicken and turkey, are excellent sources of vitamin B-6. This vitamin is essential for many biochemical reactions in the body and is crucial to producing healthy red blood cells.
Additionally, bone broth made from chicken is packed with gelatin, chondroitin, and other nutrients that are beneficial for boosting immunity and promoting gut health. Regularly consuming poultry can contribute to a robust and well-functioning immune system.
Shellfish isn’t traditionally known as immune-boosting food, but some types are packed with zinc, a mineral our bodies need for immune cell function.
Varieties high in zinc include crab, clams, lobster, and mussels. However, remember that you don’t want to consume more than the daily recommended amount of zinc in your diet.
15. Sunflower Seeds
Sunflower seeds are full of nutrients, including phosphorous, magnesium, and vitamins B-6 and E. Vitamin E is important in maintaining and regulating the immune system function.
Other seeds and nuts, such as flaxseeds and almonds, are also beneficial for their vitamin E content. Including sunflower seeds in your diet can provide essential fats and vitamins for overall health and a well-functioning immune system.
16. Sweet Potatoes
Sweet potatoes are rich in beta carotene, a type of antioxidant that gives the skin of the potatoes its orange color. Beta carotene is a source of vitamin A, which helps maintain the health of your skin, the first line of defense against pathogens.
It also boosts overall immune function. Moreover, sweet potatoes provide fiber, which can support gut health, a key component of the immune system.
Berries are rich in vitamin C and other antioxidants, which can help boost the immune system. They are also high in fiber which is beneficial for your overall health.
Blueberries, in particular, contain a type of flavonoid called anthocyanin, which has antioxidant properties that can boost your immune system.
Incorporating a variety of berries into your diet can ensure a balanced intake of immune-supporting nutrients.
How to Naturally Boost Your Immune System
Boosting your immune system naturally involves several lifestyle and dietary changes. Here are a few strategies:
- Healthy Eating: Include plenty of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats in your diet. Foods rich in vitamin C, E, A, D, B6, and B12, and minerals like zinc, selenium, and iron are particularly important for maintaining a strong immune system.
- Hydration: Drinking plenty of fluids, particularly water, helps your body function optimally and boosts your immunity.
- Physical Activity: Regular exercise contributes to good circulation, which allows the cells and substances of the immune system to move through the body freely and do their job efficiently.
- Adequate Sleep: Your immune system functions best when it’s not deprived of sleep. Aim for 7-9 hours per night for adults.
- Stress Management: Chronic stress can negatively impact your immune system. Consider stress-reducing activities such as yoga, meditation, and mindfulness practices.
- Avoiding Bad Habits: Avoid smoking and limit alcohol consumption. Both can impair your immune system and make you more susceptible to infections.
- Maintaining a Healthy Weight: Obesity can lead to a weakened immune system. It can affect the ability of white blood cells to multiply, produce antibodies, and prevent inflammation.
- Hygiene Practices: Washing your hands regularly and maintaining good general hygiene helps stop the spread of germs and infection.
- Regular Check-ups: Regular medical check-ups can help ensure your immune system is functioning well. It’s also an opportunity to catch any potential problems early.
Remember: While you can make lifestyle adjustments to help your immune system function better, it’s always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional or dietitian before making any drastic changes. They can provide advice tailored to your specific needs and conditions.
Maintaining a healthy immune system is essential for overall well-being and protection against illnesses. By incorporating immune-boosting foods into our daily diet, we can give our body the nutrients it needs to function optimally.
While no single food can guarantee immunity, a balanced diet rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants can help support our immune system and reduce the risk of infection.

Alex Garland has written some pretty cool stuff over the last fourteen years. He has written scripts for Danny Boyle’s 28 Days Later and Sunshine, and also wrote the novel The Beach which Boyle also adapted into a film. Plus he wrote last years awesome new Dredd film, and he also has Never Let Me Go and the upcoming Logan’s Run remake and Halo adaptation to his credits. It is safe to say then, that when a new Garland project is announced, it is a good reason to be excited.
However, the writer is taking things even further with his new project, Ex Machina, as he will not only be writing, but directing as well. The film is an original idea, and not based on the Brian K Vaughn comic book series of the same name, and the rather creepy sounding sci-fi has a fairly small budget of $15 million.
Screen Daily reports that Ex Machina has now begun production:
Universal Pictures International (UPI) and Film4 have announced the start of principal photography on DNA production Ex Machina.
Written and directed by Alex Garland, the film is produced by DNA’s Andrew Macdonald and Allon Reich with Scott Rudin and Eli Bush and Film4’s Tessa Ross as executive producers.
The psychological thriller stars Domhnall Gleeson (About Time), Oscar Isaac (Inside Llewyn Davis) and Alicia Vikander (A Royal Affair).
The film is fully financed by Universal Pictures International and Film4 with Universal distributing worldwide. Filming will take place at Pinewood Studios in London and on location in Norway.
The story centres on Caleb, a young coder at the world’s largest internet company, who wins a competition to spend a week at a private mountain retreat belonging to Nathan, the reclusive CEO of the company.
But when Caleb arrives at the remote location he finds that he will have to participate in a strange and fascinating experiment in which he must interact with the world’s first true artificial intelligence, housed in the body of a beautiful robot girl.
Garland’s screenwriting credits include 28 Days Later,Sunshine, Never Let Me Go and Dredd. He also wrote the novel The Beach and The Tesseract, both which have adapted as films.
Joining Garland are director of photography Rob Hardy (Blitz), production designer Mark Digby (Slumdog Millionaire), costume designer Sammy Sheldon Differ (X-Men: First Class), make up designer Sian Grigg (Never Let Me Go) and editor Mark Day (About Time).

Distressing symptoms such as digestive problems, exhaustion, and recurrent infections, as well as wounds that are taking an eternity to heal, is alarming. Your immune system may be underperforming if you are experiencing any of the symptoms listed above. Let’s see how to strengthen your immune system naturally and change your lifestyle.
A number of health issues may be contributing to your body’s poor defenses, but it’s conceivable that altering a few of your lifestyle routines and backing it up with dietary supplements can help. Since we are currently in a pandemic we are in an environment where our bodies require maximum protection.
Why the Immune System Withdraws?
The immune system is made up of a variety of organs and tissues that are responsible for identifying and combating harmful chemicals to our bodies. White blood cells are an important part of this system since they are continually scouring our circulation for hazardous intruders and fending them off.
Certain diseases and ageing, on the other hand, might impair their performance. Chronic illnesses like diabetes and cancer, autoimmune disorders like rheumatoid arthritis, and infectious diseases like HIV are just a few examples.
Although some humans are born with a weakened immune system, others develop what is known as immune deficiency as a result of illnesses, lifestyle, diet, or even medicine they are forced to take.
How To Increase Immunity The Healthy Way?
To keep your body safe from infection, every part of your immune system must work just as intended. One of the greatest ways to make sure this happens is to engage in immune-boosting habits on a daily basis.
Manage Your Stress Levels
Admission is a process that can be intimidating and stressful.How you can boost your immune system and make sure that you stand out from the crowd in the admissions process. Increasing their immunity and getting into a top MBA program. Chronically high levels of the steroid hormone cortisol are caused by long-term stress. When under short-term stress, the body relies on stress chemicals like cortisol. When cortisol levels are too high, the immune system cannot accomplish its function.
Engage in Regular Physical Activity
Chronic illnesses are all reduced by regular physical activity same with viral and bacterial infections. Endorphins are chemicals that lessen pain and increase pleasure when released during exercise. This makes it an excellent stress-relieving activity.
Take Care of Your Health by Eating Right
Eating well and exercising regularly are equally essential lifelong habits. The nutrients you obtain from diet, especially plant-based and Vitamin C-rich foods, are critical for the correct functioning of your immune system. Taking immune-boosting supplements such as C60 Olive Oil can also assist.
How Carbon 60 Can Improve Immune Function?
Many people are asking “What is C60?” and what are its benefits. Carbon 60, commonly known as C60, is a 60-atom spherical molecule of carbon. It works by absorbing toxins and free radicals to assist your body and immune system perform at their best.
Carbon 60 may help in the prevention of cell wall damage due to oxidative stress and free radicals. It’s an excellent antioxidant. This may aid your cells in keeping good cellular barriers and warding off pathogen-inducing toxins.
Carbon 60 may reduce inflammation. It may help improve your immune system and increase your resistance to common ailments like the flu and the common cold.
Other Healing Properties of C60
Because it reduces inflammation, C60 protects your body from allergic reactions including asthma, respiratory infections, and pneumonia.
Also, since it stays in your system for 10 days, your body’s antioxidative defenses are boosted. Carbon 60 has been shown in research to have anti-aging and longevity-enhancing properties. Carbon 60 maintains a youthful, robust immune system by avoiding premature aging.
Is It Safe to Use C60 Oil?
C60 can be put to various uses. C60 oil, frequently combined with other oils like olive oil, is perhaps the most popular way to use it. Despite the fact that more study is needed, there really is no evidence suggesting that C60 is harmful to humans. After coming into touch with C60 oil, some persons may suffer a minor skin response, but this is rare. C60 oil is safe to use, but you should consult your doctor if you have any doubts.
Other Ways to Boost The immune System
Get Enough Sleep
Sleep is a period when your body creates and circulates important immune cells including cytokines, a type of protein that may either combat or promote inflammation; T cells, a type of white blood cell that controls the immune response; and interleukin 12, a pro-inflammatory cytokine.
Control the Symptoms of Chronic Conditions
Chronic illnesses such as asthma, heart disease, and diabetes can compromise the immune system, putting a person at greater risk of infection. Chronic, low-grade inflammation impairs the body’s defenses in patients with type 2 diabetes who don’t appropriately manage their blood sugar.
While much more work has to be done on C60, early results are highly encouraging. C60 oil may provide several health advantages, including boosting the immune system, decreasing inflammation, and possibly reducing the risk of cancer. Furthermore, tests have shown that it is completely safe to use, with no side effects to date been recorded.
C60 oil, on the other hand, is readily accessible and incredibly simple to use. It is available both online and in pharmacies, and all it takes to use it is a few drops in your mouth or a mixture of the oil and other substances. It’s possible that C60 oil may be widely employed in medical and scientific research in the near future.

Panel formed to probe complaints vs Lee, Cornejo-A A +A
Thursday, January 30, 2014
MANILA -- Three prosecutors have been tasked by the Department of Justice (DOJ) to evaluate the complaints filed by Vhong Navarro against those who physically abused him at a condominium unit in Taguig City last January 22.
They are Assistant State Prosecutors Olivia Torrevillas, Hazel Decena-Valdez and Marie Elvira Herrera, Prosecutor General Claro Arellano said in a one-page order on Wednesday.
Eight people including Deniece Cornejo, Cedric Lee and his sister Bernice were facing charges of serious illegal detention, serious physical injuries, grave threats, grave coercion, illegal arrest and blackmail at the DOJ.
The prosecutors will then conduct a preliminary investigation on the complaints to determine if there is basis to hold a full-blown trial in court.
Navarro claimed he was beaten up by around six to seven men when he visited Cornejo in her condominium unit.
Lee justified his group's actions, saying they saved Cornejo from Navarro's attempt to rape their 22-year-old friend.
But the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) said it is impossible for Navarro to rape Cornejo since she left the actor in the room and met Lee and his companions at the lobby, citing footage taken by the condominium's closed-circuit television cameras (CCTV).
Still, Cornejo filed a rape case against Navarro before the Taguig City Prosecutor's Office on Wednesday.
The mauling incident gained so much interest from authorities, even prompting Justice Secretary Leila de Lima on Wednesday to order the Bureau of Immigration (BI) to place the Lee siblings, Cornejo, Ferdinand Guerrero and Zimmer Rance under its lookout list.
Immigration Commissioner Siegfred Mison issued the lookout bulletin order on Thursday after de Lima granted the request of NBI Director Virgilio Mendez.
An LBO does not stop individuals from leaving the country since it is merely a notice that a person or persons is/are attempting to depart.
De Lima ordered Mison to promptly relay to the Office of the Secretary, DOJ, to the Office of the Prosecutor General and NBI "any pertinent information, especially those tending to indicate that the subject individuals are attempting to leave the country, and in order to obtain updates as to the status of their case and other relevant information that may be the basis for the proper course of action to be taken by the immigration officer."
She also asked Arellano to speed up the resolution of the case.
"If it should be found that there is probable cause to criminally charge the respondents in court, to immediately file the case and obtain warrant for their arrest," the memorandum stated.
Reports said Lee and Cornejo may leave for Singapore on February 6. (Sunnex)

On the positive side of the chart, for those keeping score, are the special effects. One would swear previous BG sets have just been upgraded, but pretty much this entire movie is green screen, so they've actually been digitally re-created. It's OK that the hanger bay and control room are busier and fuller than in the previous series, because this is Galactica at the height of her service, fully manned and equipped. It all looks so real, if they hadn't included an intriguing twenty-two minute featurette as an extra, showing how they created the sets, I wouldn't believe it. I can't think of another series that has done effects this good.
Which means that Blood & Chrome looks and sounds spectacular in high definition. Much care goes into every detail of the design, and with all the computer work, they are able to make everything super sharp. The colors are mostly of a dark palate, but there is such a broad spectrum represented that one could easily forget that, seeing how rich it looks. The soundtrack is not as sweeping as its predecessors, but again, is flawless.
Blood & Chrome is made by design and programming nerds, and it shows. Story takes a back seat to effects, and the visuals are mind-blowing. It's an example of what a new BG could look like, and is definitely an argument to bring some incarnation of the show back. Just not this one, because we need the story part of it, too.
Besides the aforementioned featurette, there are about ten or so deleted scenes. That's it on the extras, sadly.
Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome is available as a Blu-ray / DVD / Digital Copy / Ultraviolet combo pack now.

Newark (USA): On New Jersey hillside, clues to Revolutionary War mystery
David Porter / The Associated Press
On a gently sloping hillside studded with pine trees, clues to a Revolutionary War mystery are slowly being revealed, spurred by the dogged efforts of a local historian and his teenage son.
An archaeological survey last week conducted on an unspoiled swath of land about 15 miles west of Newark Liberty International Airport produced several dozen items including metal buckles, a knob from a desk drawer, a shard from a clay pot and a partial pipe bowl.
William Styple, an author and editor of numerous American history books, believes those artifacts are proof that Gen. George Washington's army made camp there for several months in the winter of 1777, a year before the ragtag group hunkered down at its more well-known refuge at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania.
"We know they ate here, we know they smoked here, we know they unstrapped their gear here," he said.
If Styple is right, it could add a chapter to the historical record of the Revolutionary War that has been hinted at but never fully explored. Compared with Valley Forge, considerably less is known about the 1777 encampment, which closely followed Washington's famous crossing of the Delaware River and the battles of Princeton and Trenton.
That there is virtually no contemporaneous written record of the camp casts some uncertainty over the site's location, however, said Eric Olsen, park ranger and historian at nearby Morristown National Historical Park, site of Washington's army's camp in the winter of 1780.
In this May 5, 2016, photo, William Styple holds an old farm implement that he unearthed while looking for artifacts in Chatham, N.J. A group is digging for artifacts that may be the best evidence yet, that this unspoiled swath of land about 15 miles west of Newark Liberty International Airport hosted Gen. George Washington's army in the winter of 1777, a year before the ragtag group hunkered down at its more well-known refuge at Valley Forge, Pa. (AP Photo/Mel Evans)
"It could be an encampment during the war, possibly '77," Olsen said. "But armies constantly marched through here through the entire American Revolution, and bits of armies were camping as they passed through."
It was Styple's research over the last year, with a key assist from his son, that led him to the largely pristine land that had been used as farmland before it became part of the Geraldine Rockefeller Dodge estate for much of the 20th century.
Fortuitously, and unbeknownst to Styple at the time, Chatham officials had purchased the land late in 2014 and earmarked it for open space.
Styple had come across an 1855 newspaper article that reprinted a speech by the Rev. Samuel Tuttle, who allegedly interviewed people who were old enough to have witnessed the camp.
On a visit to a library in Morristown, Brad Styple, a high school junior who shares his father's keen interest in history, located two photographs from 1890 that showed a mansion that stands on the same spot today.
A marking on one of the photos was described as the location where the camp's flagpole flew the Grand Union, the forerunner to the Stars and Stripes.
In this May 5, 2016, photo, Kevin Bradley, project archeologists with Commonwealth Heritage Group, a Michigan-based firm that specializes in archaeological surveying, examines a spoon unearthed while looking for artifacts in Chatham, N.J. A group is digging for artifacts that may be the best evidence yet, that this unspoiled swath of land about 15 miles west of Newark Liberty International Airport hosted Gen. George Washington's army in the winter of 1777, a year before the ragtag group hunkered down at its more well-known refuge at Valley Forge, Pa. (AP Photo/Mel Evans)
"It is really cool to be able to find your own piece of history," Brad Styple said last week.
The newspaper article described the first troops arriving in early January 1777. For the next several months they ate, slept, performed daily drills, got drunk on whiskey from local peddlers and did their best to stave off the winter's cold.
It was a harsh existence: Many soldiers died from smallpox, and some deserters were punished by hanging or by running a gauntlet manned by soldiers wielding whips cut from nearby trees, according to Tuttle.
Olsen is skeptical of some of Tuttle's claims, primarily due to the lack of supporting documentation.
"I've looked at everything Washington wrote about the 1777 encampment and there's nothing that says, 'Go build a log cabin encampment'" at the Chatham site, he said. "The first time it comes up in print is when Tuttle writes about it."
The winter of 1777 was a crucial juncture during the Revolutionary War as the Continental Army was gradually developing into the force that would emerge from Valley Forge the following year, said Wade Catts, West Chester, Pennsylvania-based regional director of Commonwealth Heritage Group, the firm that conducted the archaeological survey.
The site is part of a 165-acre parcel of land the town bought for $14 million. The money came from a state open space grant and public and private donations, Chatham Deputy Mayor Kevin Sullivan said.
Commonwealth's survey was paid with private donations raised by the Chatham Township Historical Society. Everyone approached the project understanding the potential for disappointment.
The town may seek a national historic designation for the site. The goal would be to create a walking tour and reproduce the flagpole to commemorate the soldiers and the hardships they endured.
"They sacrificed themselves for that idea of the freedom that we all enjoy but often take for granted," Styple said. "The least we can do for them is to preserve the ground, put up markers and tell their story."

I have a pair of bookends finished with a dark brown glaze. On one bookend is a seated Indian Chief and on the other a seated Indian woman. "Red Wing" is written into a small area beneath the woman. There are numerous indentions into the clay which look like a sharpened pencil was inserted– I’m guessing it was to keep the clay from exploding during firing due to excess thickness. Any idea whether these are made by Red Wing??? They are rather "arts and crafts" looking. Frank
Answer: Hi Frank
hard to say for sure, it’s not a listed factory item. some items were made at the factory by workers that we call lunch hour pieces, not a catalog piece. If the clay is red, it could be a sewer tile item as well. A pic would be most helpful, if you can do that. thanks, steve n rose

- 1/4 cup hazelnut liqueur (i.e. Frangelico)
- 1 package yellow cake mix
- 2 eggs
- 2/3 cup water
- 1/2 tsp almond extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine liqueur, cake mix, eggs, water and almond extract. Pour batter into 2 greased and floured 8″ cake pans. Bake for 25 – 30 minutes. Cool 4 minutes. Turn onto cooling rack.
For the cream frosting:
- 3 cups heavy whipping cream
- 4 Tbsp sugar
- shredded coconut
Whip cream and sugar until stiff. Split cake layers in half horizontally and spread with whipped cream. Stack on serving plate and frost top and sides of cake with cream frosting. Sprinkle with coconut. OR, add desired amount of coconut to whipped cream mixture before frosting the middle and outside of cake. Toasting just enough coconut to sprinkle on top after completing the cake with frosting adds a nice visual touch too.
This would make a real pretty wedding cake if you were making your own and can be very easily decorated with edible flowers to make even more special.
I haven’t tried this one yet, so let me know if it’s any good and if you would make any changes to the recipe to make it better.


Accuracy and Precision of Instruments – Class 11 | Chapter – 2 | Physics Short Notes Series PDF for NEET & JEE
Accuracy and Precision of Instruments: Accuracy and precision are two important characteristics of instruments used to measure physical quantities. Accuracy refers to how close the measurement is to the true value. An instrument is said to be accurate if the measured value is close to the true value. In other words, accuracy indicates how well the instrument measures the intended quantity. Precision refers to the degree of reproducibility or repeatability of a measurement. An instrument is said to be precise if it gives consistent results when measuring the same quantity repeatedly. In other words, precision indicates how well the instrument measures the quantity repeatedly.
In practical terms, accuracy and precision are related to the level of uncertainty associated with a measurement. An accurate and precise instrument will produce measurements that are very close to the true value and very consistent, respectively. However, an instrument can be accurate but not precise, precise but not accurate, or neither accurate nor precise.
Importance of Accuracy and Precision of Instruments
The accuracy and precision of instruments are critical for ensuring that measurements and experiments are reliable, trustworthy, and valid. Here are some reasons why accuracy and precision are important:
- Quality Control: Accurate and precise measurements are essential for quality control in manufacturing processes. Instruments with high accuracy and precision are necessary to detect and correct any deviations from expected values, which can help improve the overall quality of the product.
- Scientific Research: In scientific research, accurate and precise measurements are critical for drawing valid conclusions. Any inaccuracies or inconsistencies can lead to faulty results, which can mislead researchers and hinder the progress of scientific knowledge.
- Safety: In some cases, inaccurate measurements can have serious safety implications. For example, if an instrument used to measure the concentration of toxic chemicals in the air is not accurate or precise, it could lead to a false sense of security, which could put workers’ health and safety at risk.
- Economics: Inaccurate measurements can also lead to financial losses. For instance, if a scale used in a grocery store is not accurate or precise, it could lead to customers paying more than they should, which can damage the store’s reputation and lead to financial losses.
- Legal Issues: Accurate and precise measurements are often required in legal proceedings. For example, in a court of law, an instrument with high accuracy and precision may be necessary to determine guilt or innocence.

text: Abstract: Ripening of fleshy fruit is a differentiation process involving biochemical and biophysical changes that lead to the accumulation of sugars and subsequent changes in tissue texture. Also affected are phenolic compounds, which confer color, flavor/aroma, and resistance to pathogen invasion and adverse environmental conditions. These phenolic compounds, which are the products of branches of the phenylpropanoid pathway, appear to be closely linked to fruit ripening processes. Three key enzymes of the phenylpropanoid pathway, namely phenylalanine ammonia lyase, O-methyltransferase, and cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase (CAD) have been reported to modulate various end products including lignin and protect plants against adverse conditions. In addition, peroxidase, the enzyme following CAD in the phenylpropanoid pathway, has also been associated with injury, wound repair, and disease resistance. However, the role of these enzymes in fruit ripening is a matter of only recent investigation and information is lacking on the relationships between phenylpropanoid metabolism and fruit ripening processes. Understanding the role of these enzymes in fruit ripening and their manipulation may possibly be valuable for delineating the regulatory network that controls the expression of ripening genes in fruit. This review elucidates the functional characterization of these key phenylpropanoid biosynthetic enzymes/genes during fruit ripening processes.

There is a wide variety of slot online games to choose from. These games are available both on desktop and mobile devices. However, they require a bit of getting used to.
A good way to find out what kind of slot online games are best for you is to try a demo version first. Once you’ve familiarized yourself with the controls, you’ll be ready to go.
The amount of money you bet can determine the winnings you receive. When playing for real money, it’s important to check your return to player (RTP). It is a term that identifies how much the casino expects you to win over time.
One of the best ways to maximize your chances of winning is to play on a high RTP. Most casinos will allow you to select an RTP range. This means you’ll be able to pick a slot with a higher RTP if you want to bet more money.
Another way to maximize your wins is to use a wild symbol. The wild symbol is a feature that can be used to replace other symbols on the reels. If you see a scatter symbol, you could also be awarded free spins. Getting more free spins increases your odds of winning.
In order to be a winner, you’ll need to land at least three matching symbols on a single spin. Many slots offer bonus rounds that can add multipliers to your winnings.
You’ll also want to look at the pay table. Each slot has a different payout.

White House chef Olivia Paras and her arch nemesis, White House Sensitivity Director Peter Everett Sargeant, must work together to solve the double murder of one of the First Lady's assistants and the Chief of Staff-before they become the next victims of a merciless assassin with a secret agenda. ( Synopsis from Amazon.com)
Paperback, Berkley, 304 pages
Ollie Paras returns again as White house Chef in a new mystery from Julie Hyzy. At the request of the First Lady, Ollie has to work with prissy Sensitivity Director, Peter Sergeant to arrange a birthday party for the Secretary of State. On their way to the venue, they are stopped by Peter’s ne’er do well relative, Milton, who is pushing Peter for a White House job. They also have a brush with a rude stranger. When the duo gets to the Lexington, they discover the bodies of two White House staffers in some kitchen equipment. Thus begins Ollie’s wild ride.
Ollie tries not to get involved but the fates conspire against her. First the head usher, Ollie’s friend Paul, takes an indefinite leave which puts an inexperienced guy in his place. Then she somehow gets involved in a kidnapping of a family member of the Secretary of State. Finally, if working with Peter isn’t annoying enough, she gets saddled with Wyatt, a protocol aide who is a big blowhard know –it-all. Add to all of this the need to keep most of the situation a secret for security’s sake and the ongoing feud with the First Family’s private chef, the situation just keeps getting worse.
Ollie’s personal life isn’t any calmer. Her romance with Secret Service Agent Tom is a fading memory and her new romance with SAC Gavin is seemingly going nowhere. Poor Ollie, it seems as though she has no peace in her life at work, at home, or in her love life. Ms. Hyzy does a great job of depicting the ins and outs of DC life and the way the White House hierarchy works. The situations that Ollie finds herself in aren’t so farfetched as to be unbelievable. The book is suspenseful from beginning to end with plot twists galore.
