The Sentinel and the Shooter
by Douglas W. Bonnot
This page mounted 24 October, 2010, updated 26 June, 2020
Secret societies have existed for millennia; their purposes myriad. Generally, they are exclusive and require members to take an oath to keep their organization and activities secret. They possess guarded means of identification and communication. Some exist in the open, their purposes known, their activities undisclosed, and their practitioners anonymous.
The US Army Security Agency was a separate organization within the Army having its own installations, training, academic, logistic, communications and scientific institutions and members took an oath to keep the organization and its activities secret, their identity and communications guarded. Until the advent of the Vietnam War, their purpose was intelligence gathering for national strategic objectives. As the US role expanded from advisory to active combat, intelligence support to combat units changed the structure and character of the Agency. Organizational secrecy, guarded communications, and member anonymity remained.
The 265th Radio Research Company (Airborne) sentinels operated in the shadows, yet stood beside their warrior counterpart providing intelligence to the 101st Airborne Division. 101st Airborne units involved in the war are etched in the stone of their memorial at Arlington Cemetery. The 265th RRC (ABN), the only unit etched on the back, remains in the shadows. Nearly forty years have passed since the last Sentinel departed Vietnam.
This is their story.
Praise for the Sentinel and the Shooter!
Compelling and revealing- a saga of Vietnam's silent warriors- true patriots all who provided the most actionable intelligence available to 101st Airborne Division forces.
—Lieutenant Colonel David K. Reading, US Army (Retired)
We spoke not of our duties for four decades. The Sentinel and the Shooter by Doug Bonnot now speaks for us all who served with pride in the 265th Army Security Agency (ABN). I found the book to be very well documented for my time period with the company. Given this fact, I can only conclude that the entire story's quality of detail is of the same caliber.
—Dan Johnson 265th RRC (ABN) Signal Maintenance
The time I spent as a Sentinel with the 265th and the men I served with, defined my career in the Army. This band of brothers served silently, with loyalty and dedication to their mission. Our deeds were in the shadows unknown to most but helped shaped the course of events for 5 years. After 40 years it is time for our story to be told. I love these guys.
—Ken Manley, 265th RRC (ABN) Morse Intercept Operator.
Been there, done that, long before that term became popular - that's what this printing is all about! Based on experience with one particular direct support tactical USASA unit, the author clearly describes the hardships and rewards of working directly with the Shooter. The hardships of field living and combat operations, many troops endured -- it was only the ASA Sentinel that endured the additional hardship of serving two bosses. In addition to a fascinating portrayal of the 265th operations and personnel, this printing equally addresses the two bosses ; issue and much of the work-around that ultimately provided fully integrated all source MI tactical units.

The claimants in the legacy benefits case which was lost in the High Court are continuing the fight by applying for permission to appeal the decision.
As we reported earlier this month, four legacy benefits claimants brought a case against the DWP claiming that excluding them from the £20 uplift given to universal credit claimants was discriminatory.
That case was lost in the High Court. But the claimants have now applied for leave to appeal the decision.
This is the first step in the process of trying to get the decision looked at by the Court of Appeal.
The initial request for an appeal is likely to be refused by the High Court, who are unlikely to want to admit the possibility that their decision was wrong.
However, a request can then be lodged with the Court of Appeal itself, where there is a much better likelihood of the appeal being accepted and even won.
The claimants legal team will be aiming to show that the High Court made an error of law.
They may focus on the fact that the High Court accepted the DWP’s claim that its aim in giving the uplift was to compensate people who had recently lost their job and who would struggle to adjust to life on benefits. It could be argued that this claim was fatally undermined by the fact that the uplift was given to everyone on UC, regardless of whether they had been in work recently or not.
The result of giving the uplift to everyone was that disabled claimants on UC got the £20 uplift, but disabled claimants on legacy benefits who were in exactly the same position did not and were thus discriminated against.
The High Court held that this was merely indirect discrimination. But the claimants may well want to argue that the discrimination was entirely deliberate, direct and unlawful.
This would rest on the contention that the real reason for the uplift was that the government did not want millions of newly workless people to realise just how impossible it is to live on benefits, so they increased them temporary. They could not limit the increase only to claimants who had lost their income during the pandemic without causing uproar amongst all other UC claimants, who were equally blameless for the position they found themselves in. So they raised it for all UC claimants.
But legacy benefits claimants could be safely discriminated against because they were fewer in number and unlikely to win the support of the media.
In fact, originally the DWP said that the reason legacy benefits claimants were left out was simply because it was not possible to alter the aged legacy benefit software to give them the uplift. It was purely an insurmountable technical problem, the DWP claimed at the time. The idea that the uplift was to protect newly unemployed claimants was only invented when legal action began and has never successfully fitted the facts of the case.
There are real grounds for hope that this appeal will be successful. However, it is likely to take months and, even if the claimants do win, the DWP will almost certainly try to get the decision overturned again by the Supreme Court.
We’ll keep you posted on the progress of the case.

As we move into the second half of 2021, the narrative driving markets has been one of successful vaccine programmes allowing the re-opening of economies, which in turn will drive economic growth and inflation higher.
The beneficiaries have been, among others: commodity firms, financials, value stocks, high yield debt and inflation-linked bonds. The laggards: government bonds, growth stocks and defensive equity sectors.
However, this narrative is showing signs of unwinding and for the first time since the announcement of the Covid 19 vaccines in Q4 2020, market leadership is changing.
This is most clearly seen in the bond markets. Credit spread tightening has stalled and we are seeing a strong rally in developed market sovereign bonds. The 10y US Treasury yield, which peaked at 1.70% at the end of March, rallied hard in Q2 and at the time of writing, is now yielding less than 1.30%.
As bond yields have fallen, so too have the equity prices of sectors that have been outperforming – and in June, growth outperformed value for the first time in 2021.
What has been driving these moves?
As ever with financials markets, there is no single factor at play here but the US Federal Reserve policy meeting in the middle of June was particularly influential.
Every meeting, the regional bank governors indicate when they expect interest rates to rise or fall, and this is collated in “dot plot” projections. Post the June meeting, the expectation is for two rate hikes in 2023, up from no rate hikes just three months ago.
This caused the US 10y Treasury yield to fall, while the 2y yield rose (meaning the curve flattened). All this meant a small 0.8% return from US Government bonds in the month, as the gains from longer-dated bonds were offset by the fall in price from shorter-dated assets. UK Gilts, meanwhile, rose 0.7%.
How else did this impact markets in June? As mentioned, there was a clear shift in leadership in equities, with US stocks outpacing other equity regions, buoyed by a strong US dollar.
The US index rose 4.6% in the month, compared to a 1.7% return from Japanese stocks, 1.5% from European and 0.6% from the UK. More pronounced was the outperformance of growth stocks over value, with the former returning 7.5% and the latter 1.5%. Small-caps also underperformed large-caps, although the divergence here was smaller, around 2.5%.
The clear laggard in the month was gold, with price of gold bullion down around 4.5% in the month and gold equities falling 11%.

Sheikh Mohammed, Prime Minister of the UAE and ruler of Dubai, has mandated LEED standards beginning next year. 25 projects will be selected for the initial pilot program with an expected roll-out of a “version 2.0” in September of 2008. The main difference is a greater focus on water conservation, as well as an adaptation of the standard LEED credits to the UAE situation. This will cause a revolution among the world’s architects, contractors and engineers, since almost every large American and European firm of consequence is designing and building in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, key cities in the UAE.
Shouldn’t American cities start moving in this direction? Already, 10 cities have taken tentative steps, but none so bold as that of the UAE. The stated reasons include not only energy and water conservation, but also the health and well-being of residents. It’s clear that the UAE will also learn valuable design and construction lessons that can be exported to the rest of the Middle East, as well as other locations around the world. There’s a lot of talk about “green collar jobs” in the U.S., but without extensive practical experience we are likely to fail to capitalize on this opportunity.

Karma Water is a truly enlightened product, born out of the idea that what goes around comes around. A product based on the simple belief that if you do something positive—for others, or for yourself—you’ll get something positive back in return.
When you think about it, it just makes sense: make good choices, and you’ll see and feel the benefits.
Like choosing a drink that transforms pristine water into wellness water, creating positive effects for your mind, body, spirit, balance, and vitality.
Key active ingredients deteriorate in water, so premixed drinks can lose their strength over time. But because we chose to keep Karma’s ingredients in a patented protective PushCap until you’re ready to mix them, you’re able to enjoy all their benefits at optimal potency.

Jane Cartwright review 19 Feb 2018
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
The diversity of it all.
2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
Go! But choose a different hotel in Nizwa - it was not up to the standard of the other accommodation on the trip.
3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
We were disappointed by the lack of conservation in place at the turtle reserve and how much (locals) are littering - particularly in the desert.
4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
Read the operator's response here:
Thanks for your excellent review on your tailor made tour of Oman. Weíre glad you had a fantastic time. Oman is very special to us as we have been delivering vacations there since the mid 1980ís and we have watched with interest the impact of tourism and how the locals are trying to respond to it. I am sorry you felt there were no conservation efforts at the turtle reserve as they do pledge to continue working on their initiatives to improve facilities for the turtles. As an example, there are now restrictions on vehicles, all the beaches are cleaned on a daily basis, and picnics etc. should not be allowed in order to protect the birthing area for the turtles. Socially, they also work to improve the community including programmes to educate local children, inviting children to learn about the area, support womenís associations and also employ over 80% of staff from the local area.
Sometimes, the efforts canít easily be observed during a short visit, but we are confident that Ras Al Jinz Turtle Reserve is an environmentally conscientious facility and mindful of continuous improvement of their conservation efforts in order to protect the animals they love.

This snack is crispy, tasty and easy to make, and can also be served as an appetiser.
For those who are unfamiliar with khakhra, it is a thin crispy-round cracker made from mat bean, wheat flour and oil. Khakhra is a popular Gujarati snack, which is served for breakfast or evening snack. It is easy to eat as it can be broken into small pieces and eaten with any dip like green chutney, achaar, imli ki chutney, etc. Many people prefer to eat khakhra with sabzi, turning it into a complete meal.
Is Khakhra Baked Or Deep Fried?
A common question is whether khakra is baked or fried? Khakra is not deep fried in oil, rather, it is made by baking or roasting the khakhra sheet (roti) on a tawa (iron pan). Nowadays people have easy access to oven, and so one can simply bake khakhra in it. Khakra is considered a healthy snack.
Is Khakra Good For Weight Loss?
Khakhra is a delicious and nutritious food. It is baked which makes it a healthier option for a weight loss diet.

How Many Days Does Khakhra Last?
Whole wheat khakhra is the perfect Indian dry snack, which has a shelf life of over two weeks if kept in an airtight container. Its shelf life is considerably longer as compared to other snacks since it is dry and baked. It will become soggy and lose its crispiness if it is not kept in an airtight container.

Announced in Copenhagen at the opening ceremony of the 2023 UIA Congress, Barcelona was selected to become the next international forum for architectural discourse.
The UIA World Congress of Architects is hosted by different cities, changing every three years. For instance, this year the Congress is being hosted in Copenhagen. The UIA selects the host cities in partnership with UNESCO, six years in advance. An election is held for the bidders and the winner becomes the World Capital of Architecture. For the three years of their reign, the city becomes the hub for debates on pressing global challenges in matters of culture, heritage, urban planning, and architecture. Consequently, in an election between Barcelona and Beijing to host the 2026 UIA World Congress of Architects, the former emerged victorious with a ratio of 147:129 votes.
From our partners:
Lluís Comerón, President of the Spanish Section of the UIA – Consejo Superior de Colegios de Arquitectos de España (CSCAE) declared their motto—”One today, one tomorrow”—with the intention that UIA World Congress in Barcelona will look at the city’s relationship with its architecture and discuss a viable and sustainable future. UIA President José Luis Cortés Delgado also expressed his excitement to see the city of Barcelona emphasise the vital role architecture plays in society.
A more fitting city could not have been selected than this mosaic of architectural phenomena from various eras. Barcelona has seen various architectural styles, influences, and events over the centuries. It was founded in the first century BCE by the Romans. The remains of the wall of the Roman colony can still be seen in the old town, as can the Gothic quarters from the Middle Ages when Barcelona was the economic and political centre of the Western Mediterranean. After witnessing the Roman and prosperous Gothic era, Barcelona saw a period of dramatic changes for 200 years.
So, why Barcelona?
In lieu of this announcement, let’s explore the city’s history. At the turn of the late 19th and early 20th century, coinciding with an era of technological progress and economic development, various parts of Europe witnessed the simultaneous appearance of a new artistic movement (Art Nouveau) that focused on greater creative freedom. In Catalonia, the most cosmopolitan and prosperous region in Spain, the new movement was baptised as Modernisme, reaching its peak in Barcelona, a city that was expanding and flourishing in all sectors thanks to the far-reaching effects of the Industrial Revolution, especially the development of the textile industry in the city. The medieval walls restricting its growth had been taken down and Ildefons Cerda’s urban planning of the vast network of streets, perpendicular and parallel to the sea was implemented where the central axis housed the elite bourgeoisie families.
Catalonia’s rising bourgeoisie, considered Modernisme the ideal medium to express their political and social aspirations and unconditionally supported dozens of architects, painters, sculptors, and craftsmen resulting in the creation of unbelievable architectural wonders. These beautiful new buildings designed by architects like Antoni Gaudi, Josep Puig i Cadafalch, and Luis Domenech i Montaner radically transformed the urban scene of the city, which soon became the modernist capital par excellence, stationing itself at the forefront of the architectural and artistic panorama. Antoni Gaudi’s Casa Mila, Casa Balto and especially Sagrada Familia, employing unprecedented nature-inspired methodology and style, are some of the most visited buildings in the world.
Barcelona has evolved architecturally over the past few decades. The city hosted the 1992 Summer Olympics, which led to significant urban renewal projects in the city. Designed by architects such as Oriol Bohigas and Josep Martorell, the Olympic Village is another significant moment in Barcelona’s architectural history. Presently, the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia, situated in Barcelona, is at the forefront of research on material innovation and computational design in architecture. Considering this rich architectural and cultural history of the city, one can deduce why Barcelona is the World Capital of Architecture for 2026 as it stands to bring forth various juxtapositions of old and new and exciting architectural discourse.

|COMMENT: HSBC commits £10 billion to SME lending, but will this work for all small businesses?|
|Tuesday, 19 April 2016|
Aamar Aslam, CEO of Funding Invoice, comments on the £10bn SME loan chest set up by HSBC: “With a potential Brexit currently creating a great deal of uncertainty for small businesses, it’s welcome news that HSBC is committing to such a large fund for small and medium size businesses (SMEs) in the UK. The number of SMEs is continuing to grow year-on-year, so this fund will be an important resource for organisations that are looking to grow.
"However, even though banks are stepping up their lending to small businesses, such loans won’t be suitable for all. Some businesses may find themselves outside of the standard eligibility criteria and therefore turned away by the big lenders.
"With alternative finance continuing to grow in popularity, there are a now multitude of options available to SMEs that are looking for funding, so businesses must ensure they explore all possible avenues in order to find the solution that is best suited to their individual needs.”

Posts Tagged ‘book’
While waiting for the train last week, I was able to read Mary Poppins. Yes, it was a book way before Disney ever made it into a movie. The book is quite a bit different than the movie although all the same characters pop up. What I found most interesting was Mary Poppins being portrayed as a cranky, vain woman.
I’ve long wanted to read Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut. When I found it on my library’s shelves, I had to check it out even though it’s not one of the books I originally chose for the 52 books challenge. This was an incredibly strange and fascinating book. I can’t really say much more about without giving anything away. But I do recommend reading it if you haven’t already.
Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar is an autobiographical novel of the writer’s life. This was one of those gem’s that I’m surprised I’ve missed reading for so long. Despite the time period she lived in, this book really is timeless. I’d imagine lots of people could identify with that feeling of hopelessness and inertia that Esther experiences. Maybe even more so these days. Another book that I’d recommend although it’s more of a read for women.
I’m now onto The Art of Racing in the Rain and The Seventh Well (which is another not on the original list.) It’s supposed to be cold this weekend and I’ve got some things to do around the apartment, so it may be a good weekend to spend time curled up with a good book.
The second book I’ve finished for the 52 books in 52 weeks challenge is the Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie. This is another YA book, so it was a quick read. I enjoyed every page of this book.
Sure there were some incredibly sad parts in this boy’s life, but in general, he handles all the challenges with tenacity and a certain grace. Plus, he’s got a great sense of humor about the world around him and himself. It’s an attitude that keeps him going and makes the reader like and admire him.
I’d give this book a high recommendation. You’ll laugh, maybe cry a small bit, and come away having gained something.
It’s amazing how a cute outfit can make you feel good. I recently got a dark brown pencil skirt from Avenue. (Let me just say that I love Avenue. At least the online store.) Add a denim swing jacket with a floral tank underneath and my purple suede wedges and I feel stylish and sassy. The only bad thing is the pachyderm ankles due to hose. While most women have eliminated pantyhose out of their wardrobe, with my scarred up, dry skin legs, I really need to wear something when I’m wearing a skirt or dress. As the temps cool more, I’ll switch over to tights.
And the weather is cooling some here this week. The temperature on the computer says 61 degrees. I’m able to sleep with my window open a small bit which makes for better sleep for me. Don’t know why it is, but fresh air seems to help. My landlord came in sometime last week to turn the heat on, but it’s not running much because it’s really not that cold outside yet. We might get some rain tomorrow. I like rainy fall days. Perfect for sweaters, hot tea, and soup. And of course, knitting.
On the knitting front, I seem to have many WIP’s and not much FO’s floating around. I’m almost done with my second pair of socks. I’m almost done with my string market bag. I’m almost done with my pumpkin. I’m almost done with my vest. One of my 101 things was to finish a knitting project each month. Since I knit fast (when I’ve got uninterrupted time) this isn’t usually a problem and I’ve been doing well with this goal. But I got a bad case of startitis recently. Now I’ve just got to get the finishitis bug and get some things off the needles.
I finished reading The Historian this weekend. It was a really good book and held my interest. In fact, I was almost late to work Saturday because I was trying to finish the last couple of chapters as I ate my breakfast. A very different take on Dracula’s story. Less about Dracula and more about how the fascination in the vampire affected the lives of the characters. Throw in a mystery and a couple of doomed love stories and you get a fascinating read.
I recently got a $50 gift card for completing an online health survey for my work insurance. It was a pretty simple survey and there were some good suggestions for health improvements at the end of it. And a $50 gift card, did I mention? I got to choose the store. Of course I went with a bookstore, Barnes and Noble. Today I picked out my goodies and am pleased with my haul. I pre-ordered Stephen King’s new collection of short stories. Looking forward to that. I’m also getting a new box calendar for my desk at work. Knitting related of course. Someone reminded me of the knitting cartoon book. And there had to be some music in the order as well. It’s like Christmas in October.
On the job search front, I’ve got a phone interview next week for another possibility. The job is here in KS though. But I’d like to talk to them to find out more and see if it would be a good fit. In many ways I’m still torn about looking for a job. There are many reasons for leaving, but a few good reasons for staying put. If anything, it’s making me fairly cautious about what I’m looking at and where. I won’t be rushing into a new situation without careful thought and thorough research. In the meantime, I do have some interesting projects I’m working on. (Which is part of the reason I’m reluctant to leave. If I could basically be left to do my work, I’d be happy as a clam.) Something that just came up is doing SWARM International tours again for spring semester. I really enjoyed working on this before the fall semester started and now that I know how it worked, I’m ready to tackle it again. And I’m confident that I’ll be able to easily meet my tenure requirements as there have been some very positive developments on that front. It was a struggle, but I think we’re in a better place with how the process should work and how to interpret the requirements for librarians. Still…
I couldn’t wait to start assembling the Halloween goody bags for the student workers. It’s just too much fun. I’ve found little Halloween decorated cans of pop, Halloween stickers, tattoos, play-doh, pencils, and mini flashlights. All I need now is some candy and the bags will be ready to go. I’ve got to get candy to hand out at home this year. It’s the first time in years that I’ll be home to hand out candy. I enjoy seeing the costumes and hearing “trick or treat”. Since I’ve got Halloween on the brain, I’ll leave you with a Halloweenie picture:
My roommate at Ref Renaissance was kind enough to pass along her copy of Odd Hours, the latest installment in the Odd Thomas series by Dean Koontz.
As usual, it didn’t take me long to get through the book. I’ve really been enjoying the series. Something about a person who sees dead people interests me (for example, I also enjoy watching Ghost Whisperer.) However, I’d have to say this was not one of the better books. But you almost have to read it to understand whatever is coming next because he introduces a couple of new characters. In fact, it’s the existence of one these enigmatic characters that left me deeply dissatisfied with the book. Koontz really doesn’t need to do this to sell more books. So, now all of us loyal readers are left hanging until the next Odd book comes out. *laugh* I guess I’ll survive somehow in the meanwhile.
I recently finished reading Without a Backward Glance by Kate Veitch. She will be doing a reading from the book at a bookstore during the time I’m in Denver. I’m planning to go and look forward to meeting her. I’ll share my review that I posted on Goodreads.
I really enjoyed this book. In the beginning, it was hard not to dislike Rose, the mother because she walked away from her children and husband seemingly without an explanation. Yet, because you are given insight into her mind, you can also be sympathetic with a woman who perhaps shouldn’t have been a mother and who wants something more from her life. Rose is creative and artistic and living in a time and place where that isn’t appreciated or encouraged in women.
It would be easy to see Alex, the husband, as a victim of Rose. But the author makes him human with flaws and rather than feel sorry for him because of his wife’s abandonment, the reader is able to relate to him as a person who has also made mistakes. If Alex were a different type of man, Rose may not have left. In many ways, they weren’t suited to each other and ended up together because of an unplanned pregnancy.
The book however, is really about the children who were left behind and their individual struggles to finally grow up. Facing reality and one’s responsibilities is a thread that runs throughout the book. As the protective layers are peeled away, the children are finally able to become adults.
Life is messy and this book doesn’t gloss over that. People often act without thinking about long term consequences. Fortunately we sometimes get second chances to make things right. Kate Veitch offers an insightful look into the consequences of difficult choices. Highly recommend this book.
I never read just one book at a time. Well, I do read one at a time, but I usually have several books started at any given time.
I’m currently reading Plainsong and a few other books. For some reason, July has been a particularly prolific month of reading for me. It’s not likely that I’ll keep up the pace. But it’s something I’ve noticed as I’ve added books to the list.
Of course, my TBR list gets longer by the day. Some people have adventurous things on their bucket list. I’m pretty content with having a long list of books that I’d like to read before I die. It might be considered living vicariously, but I’ve always enjoyed the adventures that I experience when I enter the pages of a book.

You may not believe it, but one of the most important ways to work for success is through your diet. What you eat does not only affect your energy level and mood, but also your memory, work performance and productivity. You do not even function optimally without the necessary nutrients. These are three ways in which you work on nutrition with success:
1. Eat fresh and unprocessed
Fresh vegetables and fruits, meat, fish, nuts and seeds are full of healthy nutrients. You get all of this when you eat unprocessed products. With this you give your body everything it needs to function optimally.
Fresh and unprocessed food can help you to:
- Clear thinking
- A better focus
- Alerter to be
- Out-of-the-box thinking
- Creative and innovative solutions to think
Leave food out of packages and bags so lie if you go for success. Grow your own vegetables or go straight to the supermarket’s fresh department to get fresh ingredients for your meals.
2. Do not just feed your body, but also your brain
Both your body and your brain need healthy fats to function. These can be found in large quantities in oily fish, such as salmon, herring and mackerel. Put these and other fatty fish on the menu once or twice a week.
Fruits and vegetables contain essential vitamins and minerals that feed both your body and your brain. For example, chard contains vitamin C for strong resistance, calcium for healthy bones and vitamin K for healthy eyes and good brain function. Roman lettuce and bananas are rich in magnesium, a mineral that supports the muscles, brains and nerves.
Sunflower seeds contain many B vitamins, which provide both energy and brain function. They also contain the minerals iron and zinc, which are also important for our brain. There are plenty of other ingredients for your meals that contribute to your success. Deepen yourself, or try it out and see what it does with your energy level, alertness and memory.
3. Eat smart
By adding certain foods to your diet each day, you increase the chance of success. For example, if you opt for cooked or (stir) fried egg for breakfast, you will receive a dose of choline in the morning. This B vitamin works stimulating, improves your memory and strengthens your mental performance.
You can also work on success by snoring smartly in between. For example, dark chocolate gives you a good mood and contains substances that stimulate blood flow to your brain. In addition, the substances in cocoa ensure a better concentration. Choose dark chocolate with at least 72% cocoa and as little sugar as possible, because that is bad for your health and brain.
Resist the temptation to get something ready-made when you are busy. Prefer a fast, healthy meal like grilled chicken with vegetables.
Furthermore, you can best replace rice or pasta with millet or quinoa. These cereals contain not only a large amount of protein, but also a lot of iron. This mineral improves your brain function. Moreover, it provides sufficient energy to stay alert and focused all day long. Here you can read how you can train your brain for more success in your life.
How do you work on success? Share it below in the comments!

PESHAWAR: Twenty-four Pakistanis have gone missing in Afghanistan since September last year, their families told media on Monday.
Addressing a press conference in Peshawar, they said that all these people went to Afghanistan in connection with jobs, employment and business deals, however, they were charged by security forces and arrested. They informed that after coming to know, they rushed to Afghanistan and approached the courts for their release.
Supreme Court of Afghanistan ordered the release of all of these 25 persons but the high-ups of law enforcement agencies were reluctant to honour the court orders, the families alleged. Security forces in Afghanistan have kept these people in Bagram and Pul-e-Charkhi detention centres, the families claimed.
In this connection they said responsibility rest with the government to help these people in getting them released.
They added that the missing Pakistanis from Peshawar, Charsadda, Mardan and other parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) had travelled to the war-torn country to find better opportunities.
The families of the missing persons requested the government to take up their cause with Afghanistan’s government so that their loved ones can be brought back home safely.
In December 2017, a Pakistani engineer who had been kidnapped in Afghanistan returned home. He was abducted while working on the Torkham-Jalalabad road project.
Two officials working at Pakistan’s Consulate in Jalalabad area were reported missing on their journey from Afghanistan to Pakistan during June, last year.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) leader and Advisor to Chief Minister Shaukat Ali Yousafzai, when contacted, said that so far, no one established contacts with the government in this respect. He added that the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government was determined to help in the release of these people and asked the relatives to provide details.
He further said that Pakistan and Afghanistan are two neighbouring countries and the people of KP were depending on business and employment opportunities in Afghanistan.

The influence of the immune system on early human lung growth
Understanding the mechanisms in lung formation could develop new therapeutic approaches for respiratory conditions.
Scientists from the Wellcome Sanger Institute, University College London (UCL) and the European Bioinformatics Institute Laboratory (EMBL) have demonstrated, using advanced single-cell technology, how early human lung immune cells develop. This has greatly furthered understanding of early lung development and the role of immune cells outside of immunity, offering novel insights into treating respiratory conditions, like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
This study has created a first-of-its-kind immune cell atlas of the developing lung and is part of the international Human Cell Atlas initiative which is mapping every cell type in the human body to transform our understanding of health and disease.
A significant section of the airways and mature lungs is made up of immune cells, which have critical gas exchange and barrier functions to provide protection against infection of the respiratory tract. However, compared to structural or lining cell types, the roles of immune cells in the developing organ have remained unexplored. Recent discoveries confirm the presence of immune cells in human lungs as early as five weeks into development.
Key regulators of lung development
The team analysed immune cells in early human lungs from five to 22 weeks of development to investigate whether the immune system might influence how lungs grow by using various techniques, like single cell sequencing and experiments with lung cell cultures. They found key regulators of lung development, including signalling molecule IL-1β and IL-13 that enable the coordination of lung stem cells differentiating into specialised mature cell types.
The researchers detected an infiltration of innate immune cells, followed by adaptive immune cells. Innate cells included innate lymphoid cells (ILCs), natural killer (NK) cells, myeloid cells, and progenitor cells. Adaptive immune cells included T cells, developing B lineage cells, and mature B lineage cells. This indicates that the lung environment supports B cell development.
These observations change the understanding of the immune and epithelial interactions that are crucial for foetal lung maturation and suggest that early immune disturbances could manifest as paediatric lung disease.
These novel insights into mechanisms in early lung formation will also further the development of new therapeutic approaches for regenerating damaged lung tissue and restoring lung function.
Dr Peng He and Dr Jo Barnes, co-first authors of the study at the Wellcome Sanger Institute and EMBL’s European Bioinformatics Institute, and UCL Division of Medicine respectively, explained: “By adopting a focused strategy in mapping the immune system, we reveal a symbiotic relationship between immune cells and developing lungs. These detailed insights open the door to potential regenerative therapies in not only the lung, but in other vital human organs.”
“We now know immune-epithelial crosstalk is a feature of early lung development. This vital baseline of healthy lung development will help us understand what happens when lung developmental processes get disrupted, for example in preterm births, which can lead to respiratory deficiencies”, Dr Marko Nikolić, senior author of the study at UCL Division of Medicine and honorary consultant in respiratory medicine, added.
Dr Kerstin Meyer, senior author of the study at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, commented: “The active participation of immune cells expands the possibilities for understanding and addressing impaired lung formation. What is super exciting about this mechanism is that it may well apply in other organ systems too.”
This study was published in Science Immunology.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)


The boss of Wetherspoons has attacked the anti-Brexit ‘establishment’ following a fall of 19% in company profits.
Tim Martin, say the chain, which operates more than 900 pubs, has seen pre-tax profits drop to £50.3m in the six months to January.
Despite a 7.1% increase in revenue to £889.6m, it was not enough to offset a sharp rise in labour costs after a pay increase for staff in November.
The fall in profits also occurred after higher utility bills and maintenance costs.
Mr Martin, an outspoken Brexiteer, used a half-year earnings report to attack Remainers and called for MPs to reject Theresa May’s deal and refuse any option to remain in the EU.
‘The result has been a barrage of negative economic forecasts from those quarters, predicting that the UK will go to hell in a handcart without a “deal” with the EU — which will effectively tie the country into EU membership and taxation, yet without representation,’ he said.
‘The doomsters ignore the most powerful nexus in economics, between democracy and prosperity — and the fact that the EU is becoming progressively less democratic, as it pursues an “ever-closer union”, for which there is no public consensus.’
He added that if parliament were to vote for Theresa May’s ‘deal’ or remain in the EU, the referendum result would not have been respected.
‘This may well have significant adverse economic consequences, as the country turns in on itself to endure months, or years, of stifling constitutional argument,’ he said.
Mr Martin is currently on a tour of Wetherspoon pubs across the country, speaking to punters about why he thinks a no-deal Brexit would be Britain’s best option.
The pub chain has also announced plans to replace champagne and prosecco with sparkling wines from outside the EU.
