17 Sep An Ever Regal Lupita Nyong’o Is Vogue’s Star Girl
Before we start talks on her new movie “Queen of Katwe” and her return to her motherland Kenya, lets take out time to appreciate Lupita in select divine prints from this season’s hottest collection . With designs from the likes of 3.1 Phillip Lim, Chloe, Duro Olowu, Cult Gaia, Akris, Kiki Clothing, Valentino, Prada, Missoni and that stunning Chanel number on the actual cover, Lupita stuns gloriously in pages of the october issue photographed by Mario Testino. The head gears are becoming quite signatory to Miss Nyong’o too and I for one am totally feeling it !
In the cover story, Lupita Nyong’o sits to an exclusive with Vogue’s Elizabeth Rubin where as they journey down to her hometown where she sheds light on breaking down beauty standards, being a voice for Africans, wanting to create opportunities for people of color and lots more . As she awaits the release of her new movie “Queen Of Katwe” the story of a young chess prodigy from Uganda, she says :
“There are certain cards that have been dealt me that I take on. I want to create opportunities for other people of color because I’m fortunate enough to have a platform to do that. That is why Eclipsed and even Queen of Katwe are so important, to change the narrative, offer a new lens on African identity.” She continues. “Being able to use my platform to expand and diversify the African voice, I feel very passionate about that. It feels intentional, meaningful.”
In this interview, Lupita responds to the assumption that her dark skin will pose a challenge for her in Hollywood as Rubin makes reference to an article written in 2014 “In Lupita’s case I think she has two-and-half, three years.” said a certain talent agent . Lupita addresses it as thus :
“I have to deafen my ears to that Christian lady,” she says, referring to the talent agent. “She is looking at me as part of the cultural tapestry.” She throws out her arms. “I am living and breathing. That person is not considering what I had for breakfast, how that is sitting in my stomach, and why I didn’t do well with that audition.” She shakes her head. “I can’t think like that.”
There’s a silence. “I cannot run away from who I am and my complexion or the larger society and how they may view that. I realize that with what I shared at the Essence awards.”
By that, she was referring to her remarkable oration at Essence Black Women in Hollywood luncheon in 2014, where she poetically laid out her personal experience with American beauty standards and gave a nod to model Alek Wek. In similar fashion, Lupita tells Vogue:
“The European sense of beauty affects us all,” she says abruptly. “I came home from college in the early two-thousands and saw ads on TV with a girl who can’t get a job. She uses this product. She gets her skin lighter. She gets the job. The lording of lighter skin is a common thing growing up in Nairobi. Being called ‘black mamba.’ The slow burn of recognizing something else is better than you.”
“Alek Wek changed how dark people saw themselves. That I could do the same in a way for somebody somewhere is amazing,” Lupita says, bounding out of her chair, talking about the benefit of having visibility and influence. She is the first black woman, for example, to have landed a Lancôme contract. “There is no point in getting your picture taken if it doesn’t move somebody.” Her eyes widen. “Right?”

Oh.My.Gosh. I had no idea what I was missing! There are so many great recipes and ideas out there! I should have joined months ago!
I know I've mentioned before that I'm a new-ish to cooking. Randy is the chef in the family, but earlier this year, his work hours changed and he's not home in time to cook dinner anymore so that nasty task fell to me. The housewife. Who doesn't cook. Perfect.
Lately, I've been having a hard time coming up with meal ideas and dinners around here have been pretty boring. Pinterest has opened up a whole new world for me! I'm having so much fun trying out new dinners--and they're really good! I've also been trying out new hairstyles on the Little Ladies that I found on Pinterest. Check me out! I'm turning into a real housewife! It only took five and a half years...but who's counting?
If you'd like, follow my boards on Pinterest. Check out the Meal Ideas board. I've tried out several of the recipes and they were a hit with the whole family.
Last week, I made granola that I found on Pinterest. It's awesome. I made a double batch and it didn't last long. I found this pumpkin granola that I Thought sounded awesome, but Randy isn't a huge fan of pumpkin. The pumpkin granola has toasted quinoa in it. I like the idea of the extra protein so when I made the original granola recipe this week, I added quinoa.
4 cups oats
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1.5 teaspoons salt
2/3 cup chopped almonds
1/2 cup quinoa, rinsed and dried with a paper towel
1/2 cup honey
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
Here's what you do:
Spread the quinoa on a cookie sheet and toast in a 325 degree oven for 10 minutes, stirring once.
Meanwhile, mix oats, cinnamon, salt and almonds in a large bowl.
Spread the wet granola on two cookie sheets lined with parchment paper and bake at 325 degrees for 25-30 minutes turning every few minutes.
Cool and store in an airtight container for...well, I don't know how long. Ours doesn't last more than a few days .

Most people have refrigerators in their homes. These devices are used to store your edibles and keeping them fresh. This is done by maintaining a low temperature within the equipment. You can even cool your drinks by leaving them in your fridge for a few hours.
These devices can have numerous features on them and the settings on them can be configured easily. Though, these usually depend on the company you got your fridge from.
Additionally, the model plays a huge role which is why you should do proper research before selecting a device. This will help you in finding the best possible refrigerator for your use. While these are amazing devices, there are also some issues that you can run into with them.
One of these is that the fridge door is not closing automatically. If you are also getting the same problem then here are some troubleshooting steps that you can follow.
Fridge Door Not Closing Automatically
- Check Items in Your Fridge
Numerous reasons can affect the door of your fridge to not close on its own. This is exactly why it can be hard to pin down the exact cause. Although, if you carefully go through all the troubleshooting steps, it should be easy for you to fix the problem.
You can start with the easiest method which is also one of the most common reasons for this issue. Check the items that you have placed in your fridge.
Cramming items into your refrigerator can block the distance required by your fridge’s door to close. You can get rid of this by removing some items that you think might be preventing your refrigerator from closing.
Aside from this, the items that you have placed on your door can also cause this. While these should not be blocking the distance between the seals, sometimes people can store heavy cartons.
These can push the door down because of their weight, making it harder for them to close on their own. Considering this, you should remove these cartons and place them inside your refrigerator instead of the door.
It is mostly recommended that you keep heavy stuff stored within the device as the trays are designed for it. Once you have gone through these steps, your problem should most likely be gone. If not then you can move on to the next step mentioned below.
- Check Seals in Your Fridge
The seals or also known as the door gaskets are the small layer of rubber placed on the door and sides of your fridge. These stick with each other when you close the fridge allowing the insides to be airtight. Although, with time these can start to catch on dust which will stick to the gaskets.
Alternatively, the glue used to stick these with your device can loosen. Whatever the case might be, if there are any issues with the seals on your fridge then the door will not close on its own.
You might have to put a little pressure on the door to close it properly. But eventually, even this will stop working. Considering this, you have to find what is exactly wrong with your gaskets. If these are simply covered in dust or have become loose.
Then you can stick them back together or clean them properly. Make sure that you do not damage these seals when trying to clean them. Warm water paired up with a soft cloth should help you in removing all the dust sticking to these gaskets.
- Replace Gaskets
If you have been using your refrigerator for quite some time now. Then there is a high chance that the gaskets have become damaged. These can form cracks on them or tear down from areas due to opening the device repeatedly. Although, you should note that this will eventually happen and will require you to replace the gaskets.
You can contact the support team and send in your device to get these replaced from them. Alternatively, you can order your pair of gaskets and stick them to your fridge. Although, this requires you to carefully remove the previous seals and glue along with it. You will also have to ensure that you order the right size of gaskets required as using short ones will not work.

David Moyes was accused on Monday of turning dazzling Manchester United into a boring Conference-style side.
Moyes has come under fire from his own fans following United’s 2-2 draw at home to bottom club Fulham , which left the champions languishing in seventh place, nine points off fourth spot.
But the ultimate insult came from Fulham defender Dan Burn, who claimed the Red Devils ’ approach reminded him of a his days playing non-league football with Darlington less than three years ago.
United produced 81 crosses, a record number for a game since Opta stats began, and Burn said: “I’ve never headed that many balls since the Conference!
“I’m six foot seven. It helps when dealing with those sort of balls.
“I’m happy for them to play like that. We knew that we were going to defend our box well.
“They had plenty of crosses, loads of chances and stuff, but the second goal was quite lucky and I always felt we had something left.”
Fulham boss Renee Meulensteen, Sir Alex Ferguson’s former first-team coach at United , said he felt United’s approach against his side was “straightforward” in terms of them getting the ball wide before crossing it.
But Moyes, whose United side are now 21 points worse off than they were at this stage last season and in danger of missing out on the Champions League for the first time in 19 years, defended his approach.
“It was never one way,” said Moyes. “If you’re just going to look at the stats and think about the crosses, you need to think about the number of passes and I don’t think we just went out and crossed the ball.
“Some people might say that one of the things that Manchester United do is play with width and cross the ball - that’s in the genes here.”

Taking your favorite NHL team to glory in Franchise Mode is a special feeling, but creating a brand new team and writing NHL history – that’s the real challenge.
The Expansion Draft has long been one of the most popular NHL features, and this year is no different. You can create a team in NHL 22 from scratch, design their jersey, create a mascot, construct their arena, and build a brand new roster to compete with the league’s best.
Here is how to start Franchise Mode with one of the NHL 22 custom teams.
Start an Expansion Draft
In NHL 22, you can play two types of expansion drafts. You can start with the Seattle Kraken and play the 32-team draft, or opt to create a 33-team expansion draft, with your created team being the 33rd. In this case, the Seattle Kraken will already be in the league.
To start with a custom team, select the 33-team expansion draft. On the next screen, select Create Team. The other option, Select Team won’t be available if you haven’t already created a custom team.
Customize Your NHL 22 Team
Now is the time to create a team from scratch in NHL 22.
You have five things to create here:
- Details (name, nickname, arena name, etc.)
- Logos and branding
- Team uniform
Changing Your Team Details
This is pretty standard – come up with a name and give your team an identity. Just be aware that your Location + Team Name will be your team’s entire name. So, the Buffalo Sabres would have “Sabres” as their team name, and Buffalo as their location. Putting “Buffalo Sabres” as the team name would result in your team being called Buffalo Buffalo Sabres.
Here, you can also set your Team Prestige, Market Size, and Local Fan Base. I like to go with Low team prestige and work my way up (choosing “Bottom” for team prestige I feel is really low). You might want to go with a Large market size to attract high-profile free agents, I go with Medium.
Finally, I like to set my local fan base as Hardcore because I like the idea of a small-town team having 100% passionate fans. You can go with Devoted if you don’t like the pressure.
Creating Your Logo, Branding, and Team Uniform
To design your logo, you can go to Primary Logo Style and find several options. You have current and vintage NHL logos, as well as simple font options. If you want to create a team from scratch, you will find the best logos in the Custom Logos category. Find something that works for your team name and have fun with it. You can set your team colors right in the Logos and Branding menu.
To create a team uniform, I suggest going to your home/away/alternate jersey menus and tapping Square (PlayStation) or X (Xbox) to apply team colors. The game will automatically create a uniform that uses your team colors on all items. You can then tweak things you want to tweak, this is just much easier than changing each part of the uniform manually.
Team Mascot and Arena
I won’t get into too much detail here since these two things are pretty straightforward and don’t have too much bearing on the experience.
Although I will admit that creating a mascot is fun, I just wish there were more options. On the other hand, there are way too many options when it comes to arena design – you can change your light effects and pretty much every color in the entire building.
Save these things and advance.
Edit Your Franchise Mode Settings
Create your GM name and proceed to team selection. Make sure you select the team you’ve just created and proceed to Division Realignment. You will be asked if you want to customize the AHL teams for the Seattle Kraken and your brand new team – this is entirely up to you.
In Division Realignment, you can choose where you want each team to play. I like to mix things around and create the most equal experience. Since one division will have an extra team, I like to make sure that the teams in that division aren’t too overpowering.
The next screen is very important: you can edit your career settings to create an experience you want to have.
The most important settings are:
- NHL Salary Cap: I always recommend keeping the salary cap on for a more realistic experience
- GM Firing: Turn it on if you want to be judged (and potentially fired) by the owner
- Fog of War: Keep it on for realism – you won’t be able to see player attributes until you scout them
- Owner Mode: If left on, you’ll be able to handle the budget, revenue, relocation, etc.
How to Do the Expansion Draft in NHL 22
Finally, the last step is arguably the most important one: you need to draft one player from each NHL team (except for Seattle). You can opt to auto-generate picks but where’s the fun in that?
Instead, go through the teams patiently and choose the players you like.
It’s important not to fall into the trap of going for the best-rated player available from each team. What you need to do is plan out your lines and draft with them in mind. Make sure you have a few top players as starters and team leaders – go through each team once and identify these players.
After that, pick the players with good contract situations (avoid the ones that are grossly overpaid) and watch your salary cap. Ideally, you also want to go for some of the best young players in NHL 22 and start your franchise around them. Of course, you won’t have access to players like Auston Matthews and Connor McDavid but someone like Mikhail Sergachev (22 yrs, 87 OVR, Elite potential) will be available.
Make sure to watch your roster spots a the bottom and draft at least 15 forwards, 9 defenders, and 3 goalies.
Also, don’t worry, you can always remove a pick if you don’t like it, nothing is set in stone until you select “Finish Draft”.
Starting Franchise Mode with a custom team in NHL 22 can be a rewarding and exciting journey. You can create a unique team and write history for your hometown, a vintage team, or go in any possible direction you can think of.
The key thing is to set up your team, choose the right settings, and draft intelligently. Once that is done, you can start making GM moves and creating a dynasty that will dominate the league for years to come.

Erectile dysfunction (impotence)
The outlook for men with erectile dysfunction (ED) has improved enormously in the first eight years of this century – so much so that almost all patients nowadays can be assured of a return to successful intercourse.
Many of these males feel that the new treatments for erection difficulty (formerly known as ‘impotence’ or ‘impotency’) have transformed their lives.
What is erectile dysfunction?
Many people confuse erectile dysfunction with:
which is an inability of the man to reach a climax.
First, let’s define the problem. ED means an inability to get a good enough erection to achieve satisfactory intercourse.
Some sufferers can’t get a hard-on at all; others get one but it isn’t firm enough to penetrate the partner; and others can manage penetration for a bit, but then lose it.
Why does ED occur?
ED is very common, and it occurs for a variety of reasons and at different ages.
Teenagers and young men
In younger males, the most frequent cause is anxiety – particularly nervousness about having sex, about causing a pregnancy, or about using lot of men in this age group complain that they ‘can’t get on with a condom’ because as soon as they try to put it on, they lose their ‘stiffy'.
Common causes in this age group are overwork guilt a(ED often happens when a widowed man tries to form a new sexual relationship). A few cases are due t
In this group of men, ED gets commoner with increasing age. Nonetheless, 70 per cent of all 70-year-olds are sexually potent.
It is now clear that in a very high proportion of cases, the problem is due to deterioration in the blood vessels that carry blood into the penis. Research which was carried out in 2007 suggests that in addition there may often be deterioration in the arteries of the brain or the heart.
In October 2008, leading sex expert Dr Geoffrey Hackett said in the British Medical Journal, ‘Erectile dysfunction is the manifestation of vascular disease in smaller arteries, and can give a two to three year early warning of heart attack.’
Therefore older men with ED should take care to protect themselves against strokes and heart attacks – for example by keeping their blood pressure and cholesterol down.
You may be surprised to see that I have not listed ‘lack of hormones’ as a common cause of ED. In fact, lack of male hormone is pretty rare. However, it can occur particularly after severe injuries to the testicles, or to the base of the brain.
If you are tempted to go to one of the many private clinics that make a habit of diagnosing ‘male hormone deficiency', and then charging huge sums of money for testosterone treatment, I suggest you think twice!
What is an erection?
An erection occurs when blood is pumped into the penis and stays there, making it hard. It generally happens because a guy is thinking about sex, or because his penis is being stimulated - or both.
The result is that signals go down the nerves that lead from his spinal cord to his genitals. They tell the blood vessels which supply the penis to open up. Blood flows in and the organ ‘blows up’ like a balloon. A valve mechanism near the base of the penis keeps the blood from flowing out again – a least, until sex is over.
As you can seis a complex process. It’s awfully easy for various factors to interfere with it - for instance, worry, tiredness, too much alcohol or in later life, narrowing of the blood vessels.
Nicotine is now known to narrow those vital blood vessels – which is why ED is much commoner in smokers. But often, there is nothing physically wrong with men who develop ED.
Are many cases due to psychological causes?
Yes, particularly in the young. In general, erectile dysfunction is quite likely to be psychological rather than physical if the man:
Common psychological causes of erection difficulties include:
guilt – notably if you’re trying to have sex with somebody else’s wife
relationship problems - especially if you’re no longer keen on your partner
latent gayness – for instance, if you’re a basically gay guy, trying to have sex with a woman
In a lot of cases, ED turns out to be due to a mixture of psychological and physical causes.
What physical causes are there?
deterioration of the arteries – this is a physical change which is common in older men, including those with high blood pressure
excessive drinking (hence the phrase ‘Brewer’s droop’)
side-effects of certain drugs, notably ones for blood pressure and depression
effects of recreational drugs, like cocaine.
excessive drainage of blood from the veins of the penis (‘venous leak’)
major surgery in the abdomen, particularly prostate operations
hormone problems, including excess production of a pituitary hormone called prolactin (this is rare).
What should I do if I'm having potency problems?
If you have difficulty getting an erection, seek help. Don’t suffer in silence – as so many men do!
Also, don’t hide it from lot of guys behave like this, and very often the result is that the other person decides that she is being scorned, or that ‘he doesn’t love me any more'.
If for any reason you don’t want to do that, then contact another medical/relationships agency, such as the ones listed at the end of this article.
buying yourself some pills or potion off the Internet
signing up with some clinic that asks you for £1,000 deposit
going to a prostitute to see if she can cure you
deciding that your life is over (it isn’t).
What will happen when I see a doctor or therapist?
If ye should take a full history of your problem, and then examine you to see if there are any physical causes for your ED. A therapist or counsellor isn’t able to do physical examinations, nor can they prescribe drugs.
The doctor should also do a test for diabetes and possibly other lab tests as well.
After that, he may well be able to give you some indication of the likely cause of your ED. If he can’t, then ask if can refer you to someone who can give you further help.
Once the cause(s) of your erectile dysfunction has been identified, you can
What treatments are now available?
Treatment depends on the cause of the ED. For instance, psychological causes may require:
commonsense advice to one or both partners
Personally, I feel that in some cases of psychologically-induced ED, it’s worth trying erection-aiding drugs to help ‘kick-start’ the man back into action and boost his confidence. Not all doctors agree with me.
The treatments for ED that have a physical origin are listed below.
Oral drugs which help produce an erection in response to sexual stimulation have revolutionised the treatment of ED over the last eight years. They don’t work for everybody, but they do work for the majority – even in diabetes. They can also help people with neurological and spinal problems.
Also, the choice of available drugs means that if one particular drug doesn’t suit you, it’s well worth trying one of the others.
There are now only three orally-administered drugs available in the UK. They all have side effects, only a few of which we can list here. For more information, read the package insert leaflet, and if in doubt ask your doctor.
It is not safe for some people to use these drugs, and some medications interact dangerously with them. Therefore, before going on any of these pills you should always see a doctor, talk things over with him, and have a physical check-up.
Do not buy erection drugs by mail-order, or from chaps you meet in pubs! They may not be the right thing.
Widens the bloods vessels, so giving an erection – provided there is some sexual stimulation. In most men, works within an hour. Effect lasts for about four hours. (This doesn't mean the erection lasts for four hours, rather that an erection can be produced for up to four hours after taking a tablet.) Easily blocked by food in the stomach.
Viagra still remains the world’s most popular ED drug. At the Vienna International Sexology conference of December 2006 which we attended, it was claimed that its continuing popularity is due to the ‘hardness‘ of the erections it produces. However, we are not convinced that it gives greater hardness than the other two drugs.
The most common side effects are headache, visual disturbances, blocked nose, flushed face, indigestion, palpitations – and dizziness after getting out of bed too quickly! Blue vision occurs at higher doses. Viagra is very dangerous with certain heart drugs. It interacts with many medications. Do not drink grapefruit juice on the day of use, because that pushes up the blood level of the drug.
In April 2005, a report from the University of Minnesota suggested that a small group of men have suffered blindness as a result of Viagra use. It was claimed that the drug may rarely cause a serious eye condition called ‘non-arteritic ischaemic optic atrophy.’ In 2008, it is apparent that a very small number of British men have suffered similar eye problems. If you are taking Viagra, you should ask your doctor to keep you informed of any further research on this development.
Works in the same way as Viagra. Now popular with a lot of men, because its effects last so long – at least 12 hours in most cases, which means sex can be more spontaneous. Manufacturers claim it is not blocked by food.
Side effects are similar to those of Viagra, but it can also cause back pain and muscle pain. Interactions with other drugs and with grapefruit juice are similar to those of Viagra, but also clashes with the antibiotic clarithromycin and the sedative phenobarbital. Cialis is very similar in structure to Viagra and there have been several reports of blindness occurring while on it.
Works in same way. Side effects and interactions are similar to those of Viagra. Not as long-lasting as Cialis. There have been a few reports of blindness.
Please note the alleged relationship between these three drugs and blindness is the subject of litigation. A 'cause and effect' has still not been proved.
The above three drugs are supposed to be ‘prescription-only’ in the UK and most other countries. However, Boots the chemists has opened several centres where men can obtain Viagra (for a fee) after careful counselling from a pharmacist. There is back-up from a group of private doctors. If this scheme turns out to be a success, then Viagra and similar drugs may become more widely available over the counter.
Another approach has been taken by Lloyds Chemists in 2008. They will sell Viagra online to men who have first had a consultation with their ‘online doctor’. However, in October 2008, Which? magazine claimed that this system had allowed an unsuitable ‘dummy patient’ to be offered Viagra.
There is another oral anti-ED drug called ‘Uprima’, but it was withdrawn from sale in Britain during 2006 – probably for commercial reasons.
What other drug treatments for ED are there?
It’s also possible to give erection-inducing agents by:
These methods have become less popular since the increasing availability of oral drugs, but they suit a minority of men. You have to be quite brave to give yourself a jab in the penis. For details of side effects, consult your GP.
What mechanical aids are there for ED?
There are a number of devices that can help men to achieve a better erection and to have successful sex.
A pump is a cylinder which you put over your penis. You then pump out the air. That should ‘suck’ your penis into an erection – which, however, tends to be a bit cold and blue-looking.
Specially-designed rings which fit round the base of the male organ are often used with vacuum pumps. However, they can be tried on their own. The idea is that the ring helps stop the blood from flowing out of the penis.
These are supposed to prop the penis up during sex. Not awfully successful, in my view.
Although vibrators aren’t often prescribed by doctors (and certainly not on the NHS), I have found that they can be quite useful in urging a lethargic penis into life. Some vibrating devices such as the Penisator actually clip round the male organ.
In December 2006, at the Vienna conference, it was reported that vibrators are surprisingly effective in helping men with spinal injuries to achieve an orgasm – and thus to have children.
What about surgery?
In the 1990s there was great hope that surgery would cure a lot of men who had ED. Unfortunately, it hasn’t worked out like that, and it is rare to see a man whose erection problems have been put right by a surgical operation.
The types of surgery which are available for ED are as follows.
Curing a venous leak. As we’ve indicated above, a few men lose their erections because blood leaks out of the penis through a leakage in the veins. Occasionally, this leak only occurs in certain sex positions. Where a leak can be clearly pin-pointed by special X-rays, a urologist may be able to operate in order to improve matters.
Insertion of internal splints. A skilled urologist can insert artificial splints inside the body of the penis. With the simplest type of splint (which is just a firm rod), the man lifts the organ into a vertical position when he wants to have intercourse. There are more sophisticated (and much more expensive) internal splints which you or your partner can inflate when you wish to make love. Some couples report being very pleased with these. But if anything goes wrong with the surgery – for instance, infection or bleeding – you could be in some trouble.
Erectile dysfunction is usually treatable these days. However, it’s important to first establish what the cause is.
Very often, there are several causes, including both physical and psychological factors.
Commonsense measures will often help – for instance, cutting down on stress, alcohol or smoking, getting more sleep, or stopping any medications which interfere with erection. The GP here should assist you in these areas.

I have vivid memories of my last earache. My fiancé (and current wife/partner/great Mom to my kids) and I had retreated to the hill country for a few days so that I could study for my national
dental board exams. It was summertime and we headed to a hunting lease in Junction for a quiet July 4th holiday. At some point, we took a study break and went swimming in a big stock cistern that we had sanitized with a few gallons of bleach. A few hours later, my ear started to throb. A few more hours and I was miserable.
Luckily, Junction had an emergency room and a doc on call. I rolled in at 8:00 am on Independence Day for an exam, a painful poke in the ear, and the prescriptions that followed. My next
problem was that we had to bother the pharmacist to come in and dispense the prescriptions. After a long rest of the day, the Vicodin and antibiotics began to work and I returned to my studies. A few weeks later, our trip paid off and I passed my first round of boards.
So why does an earache hurt so much? Also, what makes a toothache so painful? The answer to both questions has to do with our bodies’ response to damage or infection…inflammation.
Our body’s reaction to injury almost always involves the process of inflammation. To make a long story short, damaged tissue swells as a side effect of being repaired. The growth of an infection can also cause fluid or pus to build up in damaged areas of our bodies. Now take all these cells coming to save the day, add in some fluid and a few colonies of bacteria and things start to get crowded. On top of all that, lock these conditions into a tight space (the inside of a tooth or ear canal) and things can get painful…fast. I remember that earache vividly.
The intense, throbbing pain of a toothache has much to do with swelling in an enclosed space. Eventually, this swelling will burst into more space and be relieved. This stops the pain short term, but sets up an even greater infection, commonly called an abscess. If left untreated, an abscess can spread even further and cause systemic (full body) health problems. Oral antibiotics often work short term, but the abscess will always return until the source (the infected tooth) is treated. A toothache is a suggestion to get something done.
A bad toothache causes pain that is not easily forgotten. Just one more reason to brush and floss daily.
Also, be careful where you swim.
Until next time, keep smiling.

The best way to get the most accurate and consistent food measurement is to weigh and log foods before cooking. That’s because the nutrition facts panels give us details for food in its packaged state.
Do you weigh meat raw or cooked for macros?
Should You Track Your Macros Raw, Cooked or Frozen? Weighing your food raw is most accurate because when you cook any food it either absorbs water or water evaporates. For example, 100 grams of uncooked chicken will weigh less than 100 grams once it’s cooked.
How do you weigh meat for macros?
As a general rule of thumb, on average meat will lose about 25% of its weight when cooked. You still have to weigh out your meat in bulk when its raw, but you don’t need to re-weigh it cooked and figure out the math, just multiple the total raw weight by . 75 and that’s what your 1 oz logged will actually weigh.
Do you weigh protein before or after cooking?
Eight ounces of protein, whether it’s ground beef or chicken or what have you, would be roughly 227 grams by weight of that meat. So if you put that meat on the scale, it’s going to say 227 grams, before you cook it typically. That’s what it will weigh.
Should meat portions be weighed before or after cooking?
Generally, these values indicate the raw, uncooked portion of food. On rare occasions, the nutritional values may indicate the cooked portion. However, this is usually indicated on the packaging. We recommend weighing your food before cooking it.
Do macros change when cooked?
In other words, the macros will not change. This is the main reason why raw is the most accurate method. No matter how the meat is cooked, or how much its weight changes, we know the macros are going to be the same. … One exception to this rule regards packaged food which lists the nutrition facts in its cooked state.
Do you calculate calories before or after cooking?
Yes, the calorie count of a food item changes when it is cooked, but the method of cooking also plays a major role in it. The calorie count alters depending on how you are cooking it – whether you are boiling it or stir-frying.
Does meat weigh less after cooking?
In general, meat, poultry and fish will shrink about 25 percent when cooked. Sixteen ounces (1 pound) of raw boneless, skinless chicken breast will therefore yield about 12 ounces of cooked chicken. … If you want to end up with four 4-ounce burgers for example, you’ll need to buy 20 ounces of raw meat.
Do restaurants weigh meat before cooking?
It is always the weight before cooking. There are many restaurants which sell steaks and grilled meats and charge per 100g of weight, this is not practical to weigh steaks once cooked.
Does meat lose protein when cooked?
Studies of the effects of cooking and other methods of processing report no significant alterations in the protein value of meat. However, cooking at too high a temperature for long periods of time can slightly decrease the biological value of meat proteins.
Is 4 oz of chicken cooked or raw?
The serving size for nearly all raw meat and poultry products is four ounces. However, if the raw product was formed into patties, then the serving size would be the raw weight of each patty — for example, three ounces. Here’s a rule of thumb to translate from raw to cooked portions of meats and poultry.
Do you weigh chicken before or after cooking for calories?
Raw chicken weighs more because of water content. So when it’s cooked and water evaporates, it will weigh less.. We had it cooked which means it weighed even more raw. The difference is 12g protein and 40 calories per meal.
How much does an 8 oz steak weigh after cooking?
How much does an 8 oz steak weigh after cooking? Cooked to raw: Cooked weight / 2.25 (example: 8oz cooked / 2.25 = roughly 3.5oz raw) We’ve talked a lot about meat, which loses weight when it’s cooked due to a loss of water weight.

Creative Console Table Ideas: Imagine walking into an art gallery. The first piece of art you see sets the tone for the entire experience. Similarly, a console table is often the first thing people notice when they enter your home. It’s more than just a table—it’s the first brush stroke in the painting of your living space.
The Rise of the Console Table: Not Just A Trend, but A Lifestyle Shift
The last decade has seen a surge in the popularity of console tables.
According to interior design reports, console table sales have seen a 35% increase in the last five years alone. Why? Because in the modern world, space is at a premium. As urban living spaces shrink, the demand for functional and decorative furniture has soared. Enter the console table—a master of both realms.
The Multi-Faceted Gem of Interior Design
The beauty of the console table lies in its versatility. Here are some innovative ideas backed by real-world applications:
1. Space Maximization: In a study of 500 urban apartments, nearly 60% utilized a console table as a space-saving hack. Homeowners could create additional storage by placing them behind couches or in hallways without cramping their living areas.
2. Statement Maker: Boutique hotels in cities like Paris and Milan have been employing artisan-crafted console tables to make bold style statements in their lobbies, proving that the right table can elevate a space from mundane to magical.
3. Functional Desk: With the rise of the work-from-home culture, many professionals have started using console tables as makeshift workstations. Their narrow build fits into tight spaces while offering ample room for a laptop and essentials.
Bridging the Gap: Practical for Your Console Table Ideas
Using a console table to its fullest potential is an art. Here are a few techniques that combine functionality with flair:
Layering with Purpose: Think of your table in terms of layers. The surface can host daily essentials or statement pieces, while the space beneath can store baskets or stools.
Mirror Magic: Placing a mirror above your console table makes your space seem more significant and enhances the table’s elegance. It’s like adding a sparkling necklace to a beautiful dress.
Thematic Continuity: Ensure that your console table aligns with the theme of your home. If your house has a rustic vibe, go for a wooden, distressed look. For modern spaces, sleek metals and glass can be a perfect fit.
In essence, console tables are the Swiss Army knives of the interior design world—compact, multifunctional, and always on point. As you venture out to find the perfect one, remember that it’s more than just a piece of furniture; it’s the first chapter in the story of your home.
Accessorize with Intention
Choosing the right accessories for your console table is like adding the correct seasoning to a dish—accentuating the flavour and elevating the experience. Here are some tested strategies:
Vases and Bowls: These aren’t just for flowers. A unique vase or decorative bowl can be a focal point. In boutique residences in Tokyo, a single, exquisite vase on a console table captured more attention than grander displays.
Books and Magazines: Stack some of your favourite reads on the table. This gives guests insight into your tastes and is an excellent conversation starter. Interior designers have often remarked on the humanizing effect of personal literature in living spaces.
Lighting: A table lamp or a series of candles can add warmth and ambience to the table setup. Scandinavian studies on interior lighting have shown that strategically placed lighting elements can significantly affect mood and overall room ambience.
Beyond the Ordinary: Expanding the Console’s Role
Console tables, traditionally found in hallways or entryways, have broken these boundaries. They’re now appearing in dining areas, bedrooms, and even bathrooms.
Kitchen Companion: Some homeowners have repurposed console tables as extra kitchen counters or coffee stations. A study in urban dwellings found that this saved space and added a touch of elegance to the kitchen area.
Bedroom Vanity: With a mirror above and a stool below, your console can easily double up as a makeup or dressing table, a hack adopted by numerous college students in dormitories where space is a luxury.
Outdoor Use: Believe it or not, console tables have entered patios and balconies. Treated for outdoor use, they serve as plant stands or minibars during summer soirees.
The evolving role of the console table underscores its adaptability and relevance in modern decor. Like clay in a potter’s hand, it can be moulded to fit various needs, reflecting utility and individuality. The next time you look at a console table, see beyond its surface and recognize the world of potential it encapsulates.
Console Table Materials: Making the Right Choice
Just as a chef selects the finest ingredients for a dish, the material of your console table can greatly influence its aesthetic and functionality. Here’s a deep dive into some popular choices:
Wood: The timeless classic. From oak to mahogany, the diversity in wood types allows for a spectrum of looks, from rustic charm to sleek modernism. Timber console tables are known for their durability. In sustainable housing projects, reclaimed wood versions have been highlighted for merging eco-friendliness with style.
Glass and Metal: Glass tabletops with metal frames offer a minimalist and clean appeal for those chasing a contemporary look. Urban lofts in cities like New York have showcased the blending of industrial metal frames with clear glass to evoke a sense of space.
Marble and Stone: Synonymous with luxury, these materials scream opulence. In high-end residences across Dubai, white marble console tables have been juxtaposed against dark walls to create a striking contrast.
The digital age has yet to spare console tables, too. Here’s how they’re keeping up:
Integrated Charging: Some modern console tables come equipped with built-in charging ports or wireless charging surfaces, catering to our tech-driven lifestyles.
Smart Lighting: With advancements in home automation, LED strips or intelligent bulbs can be integrated into console tables, making them responsive to voice commands or ambient lighting conditions.
Hidden Compartments: In the age of compact living, secret drawers or shelves in console tables have become a rage, allowing homeowners to store gadgets seamlessly.
The Evolution of Shape and Size
Gone are the days when console tables were restricted to standard shapes. Creative innovations have expanded their horizons:
Curves and Spirals: In some avant-garde setups, console tables with curvilinear designs challenge the convention, turning them into statement pieces more than mere functional items.
Adjustable Heights: Some tables now come with adjustable heights, turning them from a regular console to a dining or study table as needed. This feature has been prevalent in European studio apartments where multipurpose furniture is a game-changer.
The journey of the console table, from a mere hallway stand to a multifunctional decor marvel, mirrors the evolving dynamics of home spaces and user needs. Each iteration, modification, and creative twist added to these tables is a testament to their enduring relevance and versatility in ever-changing interior landscapes.
Color Play: Dipping into the Palette
Color isn’t just an aesthetic choice; it can evoke emotions, create illusions of space, or even become a room’s centrepiece. Console tables, with their prominent placement, become the perfect canvas to experiment with shades and tones:
Monochromes: In sleek, modern spaces, monochromatic console tables—whether jet black, pristine white, or any shade in between—can be sophisticated and versatile. A study on interior colours in minimalist homes in Scandinavia has shown a strong preference for muted, monochromatic hues, with console tables being no exception.
Vibrant Hues: Bold colours like turquoise, mustard, or emerald can turn a console table into an instant attention grabber. Art-centric homes, especially in Latin America, have been observed using such vibrant tables to reflect cultural richness and zest.
Patterns and Textures: Beyond solid colours, tables featuring geometric patterns, distressed finishes, or mosaic work can add depth and dimension to a space. Such designs have gained popularity in boho-chic-styled homes and areas inspired by Mediterranean aesthetics.
An Affair with Decorative Elements
To truly unlock the potential of a console table, one must consider the decor pieces paired with it:
Botanicals: A console table can be revitalized with a touch of green. A potted succulent, fresh flowers, or even a low-maintenance artificial plant that looks like nature may be comforting.
Art Pieces: Be it a sculpture, a vintage clock, or an abstract art piece, adding an artistic touch can make your console table a conversation starter. Some gallery-inspired homes in Paris even rotate art pieces on their console tables to keep the decor fresh and engaging.
Personal Memorabilia: Photos, souvenirs from travels, or any personal memento can make a console table resonate with memories and personal stories, making the home feel more intimate and lived-in.
Sustainability and Eco-Friendliness
With increasing global emphasis on sustainable living, console tables are not lagging:
Recycled Materials: From repurposed wood to tables crafted from recycled metal, there’s a growing market for eco-friendly console table options. These reduce environmental impact and bring a unique story to your living space.
Local Crafts: Opting for locally crafted tables supports community artisans and reduces carbon footprints associated with transporting furniture over long distances. In regions like Bali and Morocco, console tables handcrafted by local artisans have become coveted, combining craftsmanship with sustainability.
The layers and intricacies associated with console tables exemplify their ability to be both practical and profound. As they evolve and adapt to cultural, technological, and environmental changes, they offer a window into the broader shifts in design sensibilities and societal values. In every silhouette, shade, and structure, they carry the whispers of stories, memories, and aspirations of the spaces they inhabit.
Blending Tradition with Modernity
As we’ve explored the versatility of console tables, it’s evident that they can bridge the gap between time-honoured traditions and cutting-edge innovations:
Antique with Contemporary: Incorporating an antique console table into a modern setting creates a delightful juxtaposition. Modern apartments like Rome and Athens often feature centuries-old wooden console tables against stark, modern backgrounds, forging a link between the city’s ancient roots and contemporary life.
Tech Integration: Some console tables now have discreetly integrated smart home controls or touchscreen panels while keeping a classic wooden design. This seamless blend caters to the nostalgia of the past while ensuring the comforts of modern tech are at hand.
Space Dynamics: Small to Spacious
While console tables are often associated with compact spaces, their adaptability stretches across homes of every size:
Mansion Magnificence: In sprawling mansions, console tables find their place in grand hallways, serving as a platform for opulent decor or guiding guests from one section to another. Sometimes, they’re even paired side by side to fill large spaces.
Tiny Homes and Efficiency: On the other end of the spectrum, in the tiny home movement that’s especially taken off in places like Portland and Vancouver, console tables serve multiple roles—from dining areas to workstations, demonstrating their unparalleled versatility.
Cultural Narratives and Global Inspirations
Console tables tell stories—not just of personal spaces but also cultures and heritages:
Eastern Elegance: In places like China and Japan, traditional console tables, often crafted with intricate designs and paired with cultural artefacts, bring a sense of Eastern philosophy and Artistry. The gentle curves, hand-painted details, and sometimes even inscriptions offer a peek into centuries of cultural evolution.
African Artistry: African-inspired console tables, with their tribal patterns and carvings, reflect a rich tapestry of traditions and stories. Especially in homes that aim to bring global decor inspirations, such pieces stand out for their uniqueness and authenticity.
Inclusivity and Adaptability
In our changing world, where inclusivity is paramount, console tables are stepping up:
Wheelchair-friendly Designs: Some modern console tables are designed with lower heights and more legroom to accommodate wheelchair users, ensuring that beautiful home decor is accessible.
Child-safe Innovations: Recognizing the need for child-friendly furniture, specific console tables come with rounded edges, non-toxic materials, and stable designs to prevent toppling, catering to households with young children.
Through the lens of the humble console table, it’s fascinating to observe the crossroads of personal expression, historical context, societal shifts, and design innovation. As the world around us changes and evolves, the console table remains a steadfast symbol of adaptability, resilience, and timeless charm.
The Console Table: A Reflective Canvas
As we delve deeper into the world of console tables, it’s evident that they are not merely furniture pieces but mirrors that reflect the times, tastes, and tales of those who choose them. They’re like silent observers, standing resolute through changing seasons, evolving lifestyles, and shifting decor trends.
Emotional Connections and Memories
Beyond aesthetics and functionality, console tables hold memories. They’ve witnessed heartfelt conversations, shared secrets, tearful goodbyes, and joyous reunions:
Memory Markers: Many households use console tables as a spot for keys, letters, or everyday items. Over time, these tables become markers of routine, consistency, and the ebb and flow of daily life.
Celebratory Displays: During festive occasions, these tables are often adorned with thematic decorations, becoming centrepieces of celebrations, from Christmas stockings to Hanukkah candles to Diwali lamps.
The Future of Console Tables
While it’s hard to predict with certainty, the trajectory indicates a future where console tables will be even more personalized and technologically integrated. With augmented reality, virtual assistants, and more sustainable materials on the horizon, console tables might evolve into interactive home hubs or eco-friendly masterpieces.
Console tables, in their quiet elegance, embody the essence of home decor: a blend of form, function, and feeling. They traverse the spectrum from the profoundly personal to the broadly cultural, from the historic to the futuristic. They’ve evolved from mere decorative pieces to embodying stories, holding memories, and reflecting the changing world.
As you consider integrating or reinventing the console table in your space, remember that it’s not just about choosing a piece of furniture; it’s about selecting a storyteller, a keeper of memories, and a canvas for your home’s evolving narrative.

Type 2 diabetes has become one of the leading health concerns worldwide. What used to develop only in adults over 40 years has become common in young people. Type 2 diabetes is now more common in children.
Studies show that our current lifestyle and dietary choices may lead to diabetes. Diabetes is a chronic condition in which the body can’t produce or resist insulin. This affects the body’s ability to process blood sugar. This causes damage to other organs over time. It’s also linked with other health conditions.
Diabetes can be managed with medication, insulin therapy and diet. One product that claims to cut the risk of Type 2 diabetes is Glucofort.
Glucofort is an all-natural dietary supplement that regulates fluctuating blood sugar levels. This review will explain how it works, its benefits, and what it contains.
Before you continue, you may want to watch this video by Rodolfo Gravacoes on Youtube that gives a quick review. After, you’ll want to read the rest of the article for a more comprehensive review of Glucofort.
What’s Glucofort? High Blood Pressure Medication Causes Diabetes
Glucofort is an all-natural blood sugar support formula that works to lower the effects of diabetes on the body.
Andrew Freeman, a psychologist who was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, founded the company. He spent months researching medicinal plants that regulate sugar levels and combined them together. With the help of a Tibetan medicinal expert, Dr. Jun, he developed a safe and effective solution, which is Glucofort.
Glucofort claims to help regulate blood sugar levels and burn accumulated fat. It aims to target the root cause of type 2 diabetes. It contains a mixture of vitamins, plant extracts and herbs to support healthy blood sugar levels and overall health.
You can take Glucofort in capsules. Take it daily with water to control your sugar levels. It is advised to take it for at least six to eight weeks to notice the changes in your body.
Together with fundamental dietary and lifestyle changes, a dietary supplement like Glucofort can boost your overall health and help maintain a healthy blood sugar level in your body.
How does Glucofort work?
Glucofort works by targeting a specific molecule in the body, ceramide. Ceramide helps break down glucose so the body can use it to generate energy. However, excessive glucose can build up in the body and cause arteries to clog. This can affect all organ functions.
This eventually affects insulin production in the pancreas. Insulin is the hormone responsible for promoting the absorption glucose from the blood into the cells of the body. Insulin is a hormone that prevents the body from producing insulin. This means that vital organs and cells don’t have enough glucose.
All that unused glucose remains in the bloodstream and raises blood sugar levels in the body. This could eventually lead to Type 2 Diabetes.
Glucofort aims to make diabetes manageable by removing excessive ceramide from the body or keeping the levels low. These ingredients regulate glucose levels and remove toxins, free radicals and other waste materials from the body.
Glucofort contains all-natural ingredients. This unique combination of roots, barks and plants creates Glucofort. The ingredients come from reliable sources and the pills were manufactured in an FDA-approved, GMP certified laboratory. Before you use any of the ingredients, make sure to check if you have an allergy.
Here are some of the ingredients and their benefits to the body:
Guggul, also known by Mukul myrrh or India-Pakistan, is a product of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. The benefits come from the tree’s resin. Guggul reduces cholesterol and regulates blood glucose levels.
- Bitter Melon
Bitter melon, a vegetable that is native to Asia and used medicinally, can be found in the following: It lowers blood glucose levels and increases glucose and fat oxidation.
This Licorice plant is known for its naturally sweet taste and is native to North Africa, Southern Europe, and Western Asia. In its early stages, it can reverse diabetes. It helps reduce high sugar levels, control insulin resistance, and boost metabolism.
Cinnamon originated from Sri Lanka, Burma, India, the West Indies, and South America. Cinnamon bark is commonly used for its medicinal properties and as a spice. It has proven to be anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial. Cinnamon promotes healthy glucose levels and increases the body’s use of glucose.
- Gymnema Sylvestre
Gymnema Sylvestre is initially grown in Australia, India, and Africa. The leaves are used for medicinal purposes. It is known to help regulate blood sugar levels for Type 1 and Type 2 diabetic patients.
- Alpha Lipoic Acid
The body naturally produces alpha-lipoic acid (ALA), an antioxidant vitamin. A lack of ALA in the body can lead to low energy levels. ALA protects nerve damage and improves insulin resistance. To manage their energy levels, diabetic patients must ensure they consume the recommended daily intake.
- Banaba Leaf
Banaba leaf is a plant that originated in India and the Philippines. The body can use all of the glucose it has available to lower the risk of developing diabetes. It aids in weight loss, absorption and lipid metabolism.
The flowering plant yarrow is native to North America, Asia, Europe and Europe. It contains inulin, a prebiotic, and works the same way as insulin. It helps improve the insulin response of the body and maintain diabetic symptoms. It aids in wound healing, digestion, and protects against inflammation.
The origins of the Juniper berry are from Southeast Asia. They are similar to blueberries in appearance and rich in antioxidants. They’re known for fighting oxidative stress, reducing glucose levels, and lowering high cholesterol levels.
- White Mulberry
White mulberry originated from Central China. It is commonly used in making tea and lowers blood sugar levels within a few hours. It helps to improve insulin levels, control weight gain, enhance glucose tolerance, and reduce lipids in the bloodstream. Long-term effects can be achieved by regular use.
L-taurine is an amino acid that helps the body in absorbing fat-soluble vitamins. It expands the arteries, allowing blood to flow easily and increasing glucose in the blood. This ingredient regulates insulin production and helps to improve fat absorption.
Capsaicin is a naturally occurring compound which regulates sugar. Capsaicin helps lower blood sugar and increase insulin production. It also boosts fat oxidation. It’s known to improve the efficiency of all body organs, especially the pancreas, heart, and liver.
Glucofort also contains vitamin C, vitamin E and Biotin.
The Benefits of Glucofort

UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE NEEDED
A recent New York Times/CBS poll revealed that a majority of Americans say the federal government should guarantee health insurance to every American –especially children. Furthermore, the poll indicates that a majority are willing to pay higher taxes for that to happen.
Statistics on health care in the U.S. are dismal. Currently 47 million Americans have no health insurance. That’s increased by 6.8 million over the past seven years.
Many people assume the uninsured are only comprised of the poor, unemployed, or undocumented. But that’s not the case. The New York Times reports that "solidly middle-class" people are one of the fastest growing subgroups of the uninsured.


It’s easier to keep the recycling habit if you make your home recycling center as convenient as possible (easier to develop consistent recycling habits, too). Choose a spot in or near the kitchen, which is where most waste is generated. The variety of bins and totes out there on the market, surely make it possible to combine both style and function, while keeping recyclables organized and tidy.
The number and size of receptacles you will need depends on the types of items you plan to recycle. Common recycling categories include newspapers, glass, metal and plastic.
For ease and accuracy, find wide bins with open faces and tops which will make it simple to sort recyclables. For paper, use a paper bag from the grocery store, everything stays together (including loose scraps) and the whole bundle can get recycled together.
Choose a spot in or near the kitchen, which is where most waste is generated
Most receptacles are a heavy duty plastic which means they won’t rust, peel or fade, so they can be used indoors or outdoors. Easy as pie to clean, too. Simply squirt some dishwashing liquid into the bottom of your empty container and then wipe the inside and outside with a rag. Pour out the soapy water, rinse and let it dry completely before using again.
The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) estimates that about 75 percent of solid waste is recyclable and only about 30 percent is actually recycled. We all have to do our part if we want to preserve our planet, and recycling is about as easy as it can get. Learn more about what you can do to make a difference on the EPA’s website.
Recycling saves resources, prevents pollution, supports public health, saves money, avoids landfills, and best of all, it’s easy. So why not recycle?

This is going out to my sister's boyfriends mom.. Marianne.. you make the best cripsy potatoes I've ever had! Honestly though, who doesn't like a perfectly crisp potato? Perfect for a dinner side, or morning hashbrowns. You can't go wrong! These ones are especially good dipped in my Dairy-Free Dilly Ranch!
I know It may seem like an annoying step, parboiling potatoes first - but trust me, it is worth the effort! They are soft and fluffy on the inside, and super crisp on the outside! The Za'atar seasoning is a blend of savoury dried herbs and spices, including sumac - a tangy, almost lemony tasting spice, I can't quite describe it! The only traditional ingredient I didn't add is sesame seeds.. because they burnt in my first test round!! lol. :-/ You win some you lose some!
I hope you try them out, and love them as much as I do!
Crispy Roasted Za'atar Potatoes


On Thursday's episode of The Late Late Show James Corden stopped by the White House, where he filled in for different staffers, from kitchen workers to communications aides. Corden kicked off the segment by playing President Biden's assistant, incessantly issuing reminders about an upcoming meeting and bringing him snacks.
As part of the White House tour, Biden showed Corden around the Oval Office. The president displayed a seemingly-valuable moon rock, though he admitted he has "no idea" how much it's worth.
"If you find out, do you want to put it up on eBay? I reckon you'd get a lot for that," said Corden. "I've actually got a guy who's got an account. He could do that no problem. A lot of this stuff, worth a lot of money."
Biden smiled and interrupted Corden to say, "You're getting me mixed up with the last president."
In other moments from Corden's White House visit, he filled in as press secretary, taking — or dodging — questions from the press, served coffee in the White House cafeteria, and suggested a variety of new sunglasses for Biden to wear. The segment ended with Biden instead handing Corden a pair of aviators, as the two of them donned matching sunglasses in the Oval Office.
The Late Late Show With James Corden airs weeknights at 12:35 AM ET on CBS.

Sudbury River - S. Bridge to Lee's Bridge and Back
I believe it was Mr. Curley Howard who when asked by his brother Moe, "Since when have you had a weak back?" replied, "Oh, since about a week back!" Curley could have been describing my situation exactly. So, despite a little lingering soreness under my right shoulder, I couldn't resist a chance to get out on the water under today's clear blue skies and enjoy some real "Indian Summer" conditions.
I launched at 7am and began heading upriver as the sun steadily climbed above the treetops to my left. At Heaths Bridge, a brief shore raid produced about 10 pieces of fairly old looking trash that was, up until recently, hidden under geenery.
Fairhaven Bay belonged to two guys fishing from a canoe and myself. Paddling slowly along the east shore of Brooke Island produced another 4 old beer cans. One was a Carling Black Label can made in Canada rather than the local plant that once stood near the shore of Lake Cochituate in Natick.
After reaching Lee's Bridge, I turned around and began the trip downriver. Encountered a guy fishing from a 'sit-on-top' boat made by Ocean Kayak. Looked like a pretty good setup to fish from.
Wildlife observed on the trip up to Lee's Bridge included numerous mallards, Canada geese, belted kingfishers, and blue herons. The downriver trip allowed me the privilege of watching an osprey make 4 plunges into the waters of Fairhaven Bay. Each plunge had him in the water for 3 or 4 seconds. After the fourth plunge he flew to a tree in the bay's sw corner from which he took flight just as I snapped this photo...
Two red-tailed hawks patrolled the skies over the ne corner of the bay and some white gulls with black wingtips were seen to the north of Brooke Island.
The painter of today's Fairhaven Bay backdrop worked from a palette of blues, greens, and browns...
An eastern bluebird was seen near Heaths Bridge with a group of other small birds, perhaps other bluebirds.
'Dixit et Fecit' was in my thoughts today as he battles against a recent onslaught of illness. Like Beowulf, he'll be triumphant! Actually, they may have known each other as kids growing up in Waltham.
At my takeout location, the day's small catch posed in the sun...
The count was 22 pieces of trash. Of these 9 were recyclable (8 redeemable) and 13 were misc. rubbish such as styrofoam bait tubs and plastic bags. My YTD total stands at 4645.

The second year of SnowRunner content is now well and truly here, and players are getting stuck into the awesome new content that was provided.
As the calendar ticks over into December though, eyes are beginning to turn to what is next for the awesome outdoor title.
Let's take a look now, and when we think we can expect to play it!
Latest news - Update 16.0 patch notes
Along with the arrival of Season 6, a new update for SnowRunner has landed.
Update 16.0 brings a huge amount of improvement and response to community feedback.
You can see the full patch notes here.
Season 6 release date
We finally know when Season 6 will land in SnowRunner!
The Haul & Hustle season will begin on December 7, or December 8 for PS4 America. No specific time of day is given, so keep an eye on your game and check for updates then.
Of course, you'll need the Year 2 Pass to enjoy the new map and challenges that lay ahead. Otherwise you'll have to buy the Season 6 DLC separately.
We now know where the next season of content will be based. We're heading back to the USA to tackle to wilds and snows of Maine!
We will be trying to establish a forestry base without even basic garage functions like refueling and repairs, to start with anyway!
This will only make the task more difficult, but fortunately we'll have some help!
Two new vehicles will be arriving in Maine to help us get the job done.
The 8x8 Forestry specialist Aramastu Forwarder and the solid 6 wheel off-roader Tayga 56455B will both be vital to completing everything Season 6 has to offer.
Free content update
While the new map and vehicles are behind the Season 6 DLC, there are some free updates coming to the game too.
Along with the usual bug fixes players will finally be getting Photo Mode.
This will let players use the free cam and a whole suite of effects to capture their moments of success (or failure) and the vast wilderness of SnowRunner.
Crossplay is finally coming to SnowRunner. Initially between PC and PS4, Xbox One crossplay will be enabled soon after. This will help bring the SnowRunner community together.
There is also a number of new add-ons and vehicle cosmetics that will be free for all. This includes pieces for the top 10 trucks as voted for by the community.
Most people who enjoy SnowRunner choose to purchase the Year Pass. The pass comes in at £20.99, but includes each of the 4 seasons for this year.
An individual season is advertised as costing £5.79 according to the Nintendo store.
This means the Year 2 Pass is very good value, coming in at around £5.25 per season. Either way, we're excited to find out more about what Season 6 has to offer!
