(CBS) Is this the year for the Cubs? Sports Illustrated says close but not quite.
The same magazine that previously predicted a Cubs-Astros World Series in 2017 has the two teams meeting a year early, with Houston prevailing to win baseball's crown. It will feature four of its playoff favorites on regional covers this week -- the Cubs, Astros, Mets and Giants.
Sports Illustrated's Cubs cover features Anthony Rizzo, Jason Heyward, Kris Bryant and Jake Arrieta with the headline: The Revenants -- Cubs: Out Of The Desert, into the World Series (Finally).
The magazine pegs the Cubs as National League Central winners and the NL champions before the Astros take the World Series. However, it's not a unanimous decision from the organization, as Sports Illustrated baseball expert Tom Verducci has picked the Cubs to win it all.
"I do think the Cubs are the best team in baseball," Verducci said.
In 2015, the Cubs won 97 games and defeated the Pirates in a one-game wild-card contest, then eliminated the Cardinals in four games in the NLDS. They were swept in four games by the Mets in the NLCS.
The Cubs added to their core by signing Heyward, Ben Zobrist and John Lackey, projecting themselves into World Series favorite status by many Vegas oddsmakers.

Boredom of youth
RE: “Calls to unite for cleanup,” ( Mt Druitt-St Marys Standard, November 18).
If our council/government do not fund a proper centre, where we can give our youth the opportunity to succeed in life, then young people will continue to behave like this.
Not all youth are meant for school. We need to give them something to believe in and to make them believe in themselves.
How do I know these things? Because I was once that kid people use to complain about.

Cornett, at GOP convention, highlights 'growing force' of Republican mayors
Oklahoma City Mayor Mick Cornett told delegates to the Republican National Convention in Cleveland on Monday afternoon that GOP mayors are “a growing force” in the country.
Cornett addressed the convention in his capacity as president of the U.S. Conference of Mayors.
“Republican mayors are back,” Cornett said, citing cities from coast-to-coast — 150 in all, he said — that are led by GOP mayors.
Cornett had a three-minute speaking slot on the convention’s first afternoon.
His appearance was sandwiched between presentations on behalf of young and college Republicans and a video promoting the accomplishments of Republican governors.
Now in his fourth term and the city’s longest-serving mayor, Cornett noted there have been three decades of Republican leadership in Oklahoma City’s mayor’s suite — though he neglected to note that Oklahoma City’s mayor is elected on a nonpartisan basis.
The U.S. Conference of Mayors, which Cornett will lead for the next year as president, also is a nonpartisan organization of cities with populations of 30,000 or more.
There are nearly 1,400 cities in the country that qualify for membership in the organization.
Cornett took over as president last month and, as is traditional, will be known as “America’s Mayor” during his tenure as the organization’s leader.
In his remarks to the GOP delegates, Cornett hailed the work of mayors who he said are crafting creative solutions to urban problems.
“Republican mayors are restoring the middle class,” Cornett said. “Republican mayors are restoring the American dream.”
“Stay tuned,” Cornett said. “A Republican mayor may soon be coming to a city near you.”
Cornett said last week he was "not sure yet" whether he would attend the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia next week on behalf of the mayors' Conference.
While he's in Cleveland for the GOP convention, Cornett is slated to attend events to discuss the U.S. Conference of Mayors' "Compact for a Better America: A Call to Action."
The compact calls on the presidential candidates to recognize the critical role cities play in shaping America’s future and to focus on policy issues that are important to people living in cities and metropolitan areas, according to a press release from the mayors' conference.
Cornett also is to join prominent artists and elected officials for the national nonpartisan policy forum ARTS SPEAK on Wednesday afternoon at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The forum will focus on the transformative power of the arts to impact 21st century learning and the economy, as well as healing and wellness, especially for wounded military veterans and their families, according to the press release.
ARTS SPEAK is a partnership of Americans for the Arts, the Arts Action Fund, the U.S. Conference of Mayors, and The National Association of Music Merchants.
Cornett is expected to miss Tuesday's city council meeting because of his commitments in Cleveland.

Brushing up on the benefits of good dental hygiene for your pet.
Clean teeth can make your pet look great (and their breath smell better too) but healthy teeth is more than just about appearances. Did you know your pet’s dental health can have a big influence on their overall health? Diseases and other painful conditions can begin when their pearly whites go yellow and plaque takes hold.
Both dogs and cats should have an oral examination performed by their veterinarian at least once a year. This is usually done at your pet’s annual examination. Most owners do not ever look in their pet’s mouth which means dental disease can go undetected for a long period of time. When your veterinarian examines your pet’s mouth she will evaluate the mouth for gingivitis, calculus, foul odor, gum recession, fractured teeth, resorptive lesions, and oral masses.
Luckily, February is dental health month! All month, we’re stressing the importance of dental care for the health of your pet. To encourage dental cleanings, Liberty Veterinary Clinic is offering discounted dental services during this month. (See our special below.)
Care Begins at Home
Many pet owners can do at home dental care and significantly improve their pet’s oral health. If your pet will allow it, brushing his teeth is the best thing you can do to improve his dental health and slow down the dental disease process. Most cats will not allow teeth brushing, but many dogs are receptive to it.
To brush your dog’s teeth use a soft bristled tooth brush and slide the tooth brush in between the lip and gum, brushing in small circles on the outside surfaces of the teeth. You may brush with just water or a dog tooth paste. Do not try to brush the insides of the teeth, as most dogs will not allow this and the tongue does a pretty good job of cleaning the insides surfaces of the teeth. If your pet will not allow teeth brushing, try dental treats and products approved by the Veterinary Oral Health Council. A list of these products can be found HERE.
If home dental care is not sufficient, a pet may require a full dental cleaning under anesthesia. Anesthesia is required so your veterinarian can clean every surface of tooth, clean under the gum line, do a full oral examination, and extract any unhealthy teeth.
It’s dental month! As you know, our pets frequently run into oral health issues later in life. Pet dentals can prevent many of these health issues just by catching them before they’re a problem.
Bring in your pets in February and get 15% off your pet dental. Request an appointment in our PetDesk app (download at LibVetClinic.com) or just give us a call!

TDOT administers the Safe Routes to Schools Program.
The Tennessee Department of Transportationís (TDOT) Safe Routes to Schools Program provides state, local and regional agencies funding for projects designed to encourage walking and biking among elementary and middle school children. TDOT introduced the program in December 2006 and plans to announce the first round of Safe Routes to School grant awards in the summer of 2007.
The Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program is a federally funded program authorized by transportation legislation passed in 2005. In addition to improving children's safety and health, the program is designed to reduce traffic, fuel consumption, and air pollution in the vicinity of schools.
Building on local initiatives, the SRTS program funds the planning, development and implementation of infrastructure and non-infrastructure projects that encourage walking and biking among middle and elementary school children. Examples of eligible infrastructure projects include sidewalk improvements, traffic calming and speed reduction improvements, and pedestrian and bicycle crossing improvements. Importantly, the program will also provide money for activities to encourage safe walking and bicycling to school, including public awareness campaigns and outreach to press and community leaders, training for crossing guards, traffic education, and student sessions on bicycle and pedestrian safety.
Nationally, the percentage of children considered severely overweight has tripled over the past 30 years, while the percentage of children walking to school has declined from 42 percent to 16 percent. Improving walking and bicycling conditions to school not only helps children lead safe, active and healthy lives, but also addresses other community issues such as air pollution and traffic congestion. Today, parents driving their children to school account for 20 percent -25 percent of morning rush hour traffic. The new Safe Routes to School Program will rely on a broad range of expertise from professionals, including health, education, safety and transportation, and community-based groups.
The Safe Routes to School program is funded by $10.7 million in federal funds through 2009.
For more information on the Safe Routes to School Program visit www.tennessee.gov/tdot/bikeped/saferoutes.htm or contact the program coordinator at (615)253-2421.

Antilles Gold Limited (ASX:AAU) has received a significantly updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) for the La Demajagua gold-silver deposit in Cuba.
Undertaken by Western Australia mining consultants, Cube Consulting, the revised MRE features selected data from 50,000m of historic drilling, and assays received to date from approximately 90% of the 28,000m of cored drilling undertaken for the proposed open pit mine at La Demajagua.
· The additional estimated 2.6 million tonnes within the revised Indicated and Inferred Resources should allow the mine life of the proposed open pit operation to be extended from six to eight years. · The Scoping Study for the proposed open pit mine will be revised to determine the positive economic impact of the estimated additional 188,000oz of contained gold in the revised Resources.
· The MRE for the La Demajagua open pit will be finalised after all outstanding assays are received in July 2022.
· The Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) for the proposed open pit mine is scheduled to be completed in November 2022, with mine infrastructure planned to be undertaken in the first half of 2023, and mine construction during the following 12 months. The first shipment of concentrate is planned for July 2024.
· The drilling programme for the proposed underground operation will probably be deferred until 2028, but will be completed in time for any development to ensure continuity of operations.
Brian Johnson, Brian Johnson, said any increased life of the La Demajagua open pit mine would assist the company’s joint venture with Cuban mining company, GeoMinera, to arrange project finance.
“Antilles Gold has commenced discussions on this matter with prospective financiers that are not impacted by US sanctions, and has allowed 12 months to have finance in place.
“Approximately US$15 million of the US$65 million of third-party funding that will be required for the La Demajagua mine may be provided as credit by the Chinese suppliers of the project concentrator, and the heavy mining equipment, backed by the China Exim Bank or insurance company, Sinosure.
“Antilles Gold may provide a short-term loan of up to US$15 million to the joint venture which could come from anticipated proceeds from US$30 million of Claims against the Dominican Republic Government which are currently being arbitrated by a unit of the World Bank, conversion of listed options in April 2023, or from an issue of shares or notes later in 2023.”
Mr Johnson said he was confident that a project loan of US$35 million will be able to be arranged for the joint venture, where the lender will be repaid from a proportion of the proceeds from concentrate sales under a life of mine off-take agreement.
“An important next step in the bankability of the proposed mine will be negotiation of the concentrate off-take agreement.”

J.J. Watt‘s return seems to be going as well as could be expected.
That will mark Watt’s first live game action since September,
Rosters for the first game of the exhibition slate are typically meaningless. Key players are often sidelined even if they aren’t dealing with an injury in hopes of keeping everyone healthy for the regular season.
But the fact Watt will be available for Wednesday’s matchup with the Carolina Panthers, even if only for a few snaps, is a positive milestone in his recovery from the back injury that limited him to three games last season.
The Texans’ defense still finished atop the NFL rankings in his absence, and Watt will be a tremendous addition if he regains his All-Pro form in his return.
The former first-round pick came away with Defensive Player of the Year honors in an incredible three of four seasons before suffering the first major injury of his pro career.

The United States, home to half the global e-cigarette market, is worth watching.
Today, "atomization new forces" specially learned some data from overseas networks, you can have a general overview of the US market. Although the European market has grown rapidly in the past two years, the US market still accounts for a significant proportion. For example, according to Statista's forecast, the European e-atomization segment will reach $10.26 billion in revenue in 2023; But the U.S. market is up to $9 billion in 2022. It can be seen that 2023 will still be the core of the US and European markets.
First, Monthly sales are staggering, increasing by nearly 50% in three years.
Compared with 10 million a year in some countries, the United States hits that mark in a month.
According to the US CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), US e-nebulizing sales increased from 15.5 million units in January 2020 to 22.7 million units in December 2022, an increase of nearly 50% in three years, with one-time sales exceeding the cartridge. By the end of 2022, disposable electronic atomization sales in the US market accounted for more than half.
Moreover, in December 2022, the disposable market was dominated by mint and other flavors, accounting for a whopping 79.6%; Tobacco and mint flavors accounted for 4.3% and 3.6% of sales, respectively. By category, from January 2020 to December 2022, the proportion of bomb-changing cigarette sales decreased from 75.2% to 48.0%, while the proportion of one-time sales increased from 24.7% to 51.8%, surpassing the bomb-changing type. Sales of non-tobacco flavors grew the most; Mint flavors dominate the pre-loaded cartridge market, while fruit and candy flavors dominate the disposable market. These include fruit, cloves/spices, candies/sweets, and chocolate.
In terms of major brands, the top five brands for the past four weeks ended December 25, 2022 were VUSE, JUUL, ELFBAR, NJOY, and Breeze Smoke. One of them, Elf Bar, became the best-selling disposable brand in the United States. And Elf Bar, now sold as EBDESIGN in the United States. But at the start of 2022, 14.5% said Puff Bar was a popular brand, followed by Vuse (12.5%), Hyde (5.5%) and SMOK (4.0%). That has clearly changed.
The author has learned from some logistics providers that the recent export of electronic atomization orders to the United States is more, which also shows that the demand for the United States is still large.
Second, the number of brands surged.
The number of brands in the market shows the degree of competition in the market. At present, the number of electronic atomization brands in the United States has been close to 300.
According to U.S. (CDC) data, the total number of e-cigarette brands in the U.S. continues to grow, with the total number of e-cigarette brands in the U.S. market increasing by 46.2% from 184 to 269 between January 2020 and December 2022. In two years, it attracted half of the brands to enter.
Third, Millions of dollars in sales every month.
Monthly e-vaporization sales are down because of heightened U.S. regulation, but they may not be down in substance.
In terms of sales, according to CDC data, data show that from May 2022 to December 2022, total sales of electronic atomization in the United States fell 12.3%, but sales were still millions of dollars higher compared to the beginning of 2020. The CDC attributed the drop in sales to a number of factors, including health authorities' efforts to regulate e-cigarette sales and other factors such as "a one-time spike in the number of large doses." Examples include online orders and e-nebulization stores that are not included in the company's sales data.
So there is more to the US market than brick-and-mortar retail
Fourth, high permeability.
In the global smokers, Europe and the United States electronic atomization penetration rate division in the 10-30% range, our country is only about 3%.
Especially in the United States and Europe, the penetration rate of electronic atomization is very high. According to one show, in terms of market penetration, the global penetration rate of electronic atomization is expected to reach 7.3% in 2022, among which the penetration rate of the United States leads the world and is expected to reach 30%, followed by the United Kingdom at 27.6%, and the European market is led by France and Italy at 17.5% and 11.5% respectively.
According to 2020 statistics, the penetration rate of e-nebulization in adults in the United States is about 19.6%, that is, about 4.9 million adults use e-nebulization. There are currently an estimated 11.1 million e-nebulizers in the United States.
Five, convenience store channel amazing.
According to data from IRI, a market research firm in Chicago, electronic atomization sales in convenience stores in the United States will be $6.93 billion in 2022, up 9.3%. The number of products sold reached 438 million, with an average customer unit price of 15.82 dollars. According to the market scale of nearly $10 billion in the United States, convenience stores account for nearly $7 billion, which shows that a large number of channel models in the United States are in convenience stores.
Based on this model of convenience stores, many convenience store dealers in the United States are expanding electronic atomization. A reseller called RACE TRAC has access to more than 500 convenience stores. And the convenience store model is popular because, especially in the United States, many consumers choose electronic atomization under the inflation.
The United States, as China's largest export country of electronic atomization, its market is still concerned. However, under the background of strong supervision in the United States, many enterprises are also actively expanding their electronic atomization market share to the European market! The European and American markets are still the responsibility of the global market!

After their second stringers were thoroughly outplayed by Coventry in the Carling Cup and losing 2:0, the seniors continue to slog with hard fought 1:0 victories over Birmingham in the EPL and Roma in the Champions League with Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney scoring their first goals respectively for the campaigns.
It is turning out to be a difficult season and the games are keeping fans at the edge of their seats. Where is free scoring Devils of last season? Everyone is asking. With high expectations from the new signings, this season has so far proven to be a dissappointment. Now that Tervez, Ronaldo and Rooney has all got their first goals, maybe it is about time for them to show what they are really worth.
For the fans, we can take some comfort from the hope that the team will hit top form during the second half of the season.

The Good: Good voice, Decent guitarwork, One or two lyrical moments
The Bad: Largely indistinct, Mostly bland lyrics, Nothing impressive or unique, Performing, SHORT!
The Basics: Despite the elements of greatness that define Bonnie Raitt as a master guitarist being present, Sweet Forgiveness is a fairly generic assembly of pop-rock songs.
Every now and then, I encounter an album that I label as "indistinct." Largely they are disc that I sit and listen to on repeat over and over again for five or more rotations and afterward, I couldn't tell anyone what it was I just listened to. Songs on indistinct albums blend together with none standing out, none capturing the listener, none impressing the listener as something different, unique or even emblematic of the talent of the musical artist in question. I recall that sense with the Loreena McKennitt album To Drive the Cold Winter Away (reviewed here!), as well as the Seal album Hu manbe ing (reviewed here!). I've recently begun listening to Bonnie Raitt to expand my musical knowledge a bit more and I think what made her debut so difficult for me to review (though that review is here!), was that it truly was indistinct Bonnie Raitt. As a budding artist, Raitt had nothing on her debut that set her apart from virtually any other country/folk/bluegrass artist just starting out. At the very least, she was trying and she had two tracks that were her own. Sadly, by the time her album Sweet Forgiveness comes along, she is relegated to the role of mere performer and the result is an album that is less distinct, more generic, and not truly more satisfying than the album that preceded it six years prior.
Sweet Forgiveness is a ten track album clocking in at a sad thirty-eight minutes, making the compelling argument to combine it with another early work for its c.d. release (this is a poor use of the medium, simply transferring records!). Bonnie Raitt wrote none of the lyrics nor music for any of the ten songs and I suspect that is what contributes to the generic sound and feel of this disc. Raitt takes nothing near a production credit on the album, which leaves the listener with the sense that Raitt is simply performing, rather than creating.
Because this album is being rated higher by me than her debut, I figure it's germane to say why right up front (because my critiques of the album may be truncated as I get bored with writing about how the songs sound mostly like one another). First off, on Sweet Forgiveness, Bonnie Raitt illustrates her ability to sing. She has a lovely voice and on songs like "Two Lives," her pipes are clearly and beautifully displayed. There is something wonderfully heartwrenching about hearing her sing "But he never had a broken heart" ("Two Lives") about a songwriter and her presentation of accompanying background vocalists with wailing demonstrations of pure voice (a tradition continued today by the likes of Mariah Carey and Christina Aguilera) on that same song is actually musical (I cannot say the same of so many who have done it recently). She sings cleanly and clearly on her storytelling song "Lousie" enunciating each line perfectly while keeping a beautiful melody going. On this album, it's clear Bonnie Raitt can sing.
Even better, here we have the hints of promised greatness of Raitt as guitarist. Opening the album with some fancy fingerwork on "About To Make Me Leave Home" (an otherwise generic bluegrass-y rock track), Raitt plays the guitar like the master she is considered. Raitt plays multiple guitars, with the stark acoustic on "Louise" to the brash playing on "Gamblin' Man" (which has the country-rock feel to it that defined much of the late '70s/early 80's pop-rock movement, at least from the South), Raitt gets her fingers around it all such that even an amateur or a critic may easily acknowledge that she's a wonderful guitarist. She even hits the electric guitar - and well - on "My Opening Farewell."
The problem is, outside the skill taken to alternate sounds with various guitars, Bonnie Raitt runs into a simple problem on Sweet Forgiveness; in order to illustrate talent with an instrument, one needs to have music that will challenge the player some. The guitarwork (in this case) must be complicated enough to impress or sophisticated enough such that those who do not play guitar can recognize with the ear alone that the music being played is requiring fancy fingerwork and be impressed as a result. Sadly, outside "Gamblin' Man," the songs are not so complex. "Louise" is picked at with such simplicity that the listener feels like it could be anyone playing, even someone just learning the guitar. Sweet Forgiveness - the track - finds Raitt completely sublimating the guitars for her voice, allowing them only to come to prominence when she is not singing. And the guitarwork is fairly generic and simple.
Indeed, outside the rockin' nature of "Gamblin' Man" and the simplicity of "Louise," most of the tracks blend together musically. Sweet Forgiveness has a somewhat gospel sound to it, only because the instrumentals are drown by the singing. But even the vocal presentation is on par in terms of sound and force as, say "Runaway" and "Home." And as far as the instrumentals go, this is a remarkably subdued album as far as complexity goes. Raitt finds a Southern Country-Rock sound and firmly implants herself in that rut for eight of the ten tracks. The result is that much of the album blends together into itself when played repetitively. "Three Time Loser," "Takin' My Time," and "Home" all flow into one another in such a way that leaves the listener unsure exactly what they've heard.
This may be, in part, because none of the lyrics really leap out. I like storytelling songs, yet I cannot tell anyone what "My Opening Farewell" is about, even after listening to this album over six times - in a row. The only line in the entire track that I remember is "there's a train leaving every day" ("My Opening Farewell") and I think the only reason that line stands out is because Raitt sings it clearly, above the murky guitars and pianos; it's part of as crescendo.
I understand that there are fans of Bonnie Raitt out there who might want to defend this album - indeed, fans often leap to defense of their artists in a way that is admirable - but objectively, this album is a musical one-trick pony that relegates an artist who CAN write music and lyrics to simply performing the visions of others. That's sad and so is this disc.
I'll say the best track is "Gamblin' Man," simply because it was the most distinct. The rest of the album is likely to be forgotten by me the moment I pop in the next disc for listening and review.

Approximately 45 miles southeast of Fredericksburg, Virginia, sits the town of Tappahannock. The name originates from the Algonquian word lappihane (or, it has also been noted, toppehannock). When translated, it means roughly “Town on the rise and fall of water.”
The town is better known today for the singer Chris Brown who mentioned it in one of his songs. Yet the town is steeped in American history, including a cameo in the American Civil War.
The famous English explorer John Smith landed where Tappahannock sits on the Rappahannock River in 1608, but local Native Americans forced him to leave abruptly. Approximately 80 years later, a trading post was established, and the area became known as Hobbs Hole.
Living in the historic Northern Neck, the closest shopping center for my wife and me is in Tappahannock, so we’ve traveled there quite often. This past Sunday, I decided to stop for a longer stay beyond the shopping center, and like a fellow writer here at ECW (Kathleen Logothetis in her post History in Our Backyard!), I was attracted to the statue in the old main section of town.
The statue commemorated Tappahannock and Essex County’s native sons who fought and died during the American Civil War. Besides the sprinkling of men serving in various units, the majority of men from the area served in either the 55th Virginia Infantry or the 9th Virginia Cavalry. Both units saw long and distinguished service attached to the Army of Northern Virginia.
Listed under officers from Essex County was Brigadier Generals Richard B. Garnett and Robert S. Garnett. The two Garnetts were cousins. Both lost their lives in the war.
Robert had the distinction of being the first Confederate general killed in the conflict when he was killed on July 13, 1861 during the skirmish at Corrick’s Ford in what is now West Virginia. After a brief internment in Baltimore, Maryland, his body was moved to Brooklyn, New York, where his body was put to rest beside the grave of his wife.
Richard’s death is immortalized as part of the history of Pickett’s Charge during the Battle of Gettysburg. His remains, according to the inscription on the marker at Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond, Virginia, might be included in the dead that were brought from the fields in Pennsylvania to Virginia. Unfortunately, no one knows for certain.
Thus, a statue I had driven by countless times provided an interesting tidbit of local Civil War history–and raised some interesting questions.
The moral of the story? Next time you drive by something interesting make a stop. The history that marker, monument, and/or historic site could tell you might just raise your eyebrows.

The current announcement by President Obama in his support of gay marriage has me pondering a question. Is doing the right thing for the wrong reasons still doing the right thing? I do not believe for a minute that President Obama or Governor Romney do anything without calculating whether or not it will gain or lose them votes. As the tied turns towards the acceptance of gay marriage so does the opinion of President Obama. Did he make this decision based on strong personal conviction? I do not believe he did, he strikes me as a man that does nothing without weighting what kind of personal gain can be had from it. I feel the same way about Governor Romney who like Obama is a consummate politician.
So back to the question: Is doing the right thing for the wrong reasons still doing the right thing? I personally believe it is not the right thing. When anyone compromises their integrity for personal gain whether it turns out to be a popular decision or not they are doing harm, not only to themselves but to the people around them. Imagine a football game where the officials made calls based on whether or not the call was popular or not. We can rest assured that the game would quickly descend into chaos and they would no longer be officials, integrity and order demands that they follow the rules. We have rules in our lives that we follow and when we compromise those rules we not only hurt our own image but we damage those that are under our leadership. You can never do the right thing for personal gain and still consider it to be the right thing. I once heard it said that physical courage makes a man strong in one way, but moral courage to stand up in opposition to the world around makes a man strong in many ways.

CW: talks about a history of disordered eating, calorie restriction, and food tracking.
On Sunday nights, my husband and I tend to get a little “peckish”. This means, we both feel like snacking a little on a treat. Mindless snacking. Wine gums for him. Sour kids for me. Or the other night, a few digestive cookies each, with almond milk. This was after leftover Vietnamese food for dinner and healthy lunches of salad and sushi.
Part of me feels like a kid getting away with something when we snack. Another part of me feels guilty. Yet another part of me is trying to train my brain not to feel guilty about these treats. It has not been settled yet, which part of me wins this battle.
Even if I accept that diet culture is bad for me, bad for people, in general, it’s not easy to retrain a lifetime of diet culture habits.
I hear people talking about intuitive eating. While this sounds nice, I don’t think my brain, with a history of disordered eating, can be trusted to intuit what is best for me to eat all the time. Is my intuition right that I am hungry? Or is it craving comfort from nerves, anxiety, sadness? Is it seeking celebratory eating after a success of some sort?
Yet, I decided some time ago, that restrictive dieting does not work for me. As soon as I need to start writing everything I eat down, either on a piece of paper, or in my head, I become a perfectionist for a short while. And then a hedonist after a spell of perfectionism.
I spend a good deal of my time explaining to people why they shouldn’t be too hard on themselves if they indulge a little, here and there. Why they shouldn’t label foods good and bad. Why it is not about health, if they are chastising themselves for an indulgence with food. It’s just food, for goodness sake!
Yet, there is still a running script in my head about what I should eat and shouldn’t eat. 35+ years of training, doesn’t go away easily. Also, it’s not easy to balance not thinking about it too much, and not thinking about it at all. I still care that I am getting good nutrients in my body. I still care that I am giving my workouts a chance to have an optimal effect on my body.
I often wonder what I might have been better at growing up, if I hadn’t devoted so much of my mental energy to what I should and shouldn’t eat. I wonder what it might have been like for my mother if she didn’t feel like she always had to diet. I wonder what it would have been like if I didn’t have the type of personality to internalize the external messages that thin was ideal and if you are not naturally thin, you better make it part of your life’s work to be “as thin as possible” for your body type. Perhaps, my brain was hungry and/or tired from thinking about food and my undesirable form, when it couldn’t concentrate well enough to focus on school, when it mattered the most?
I have long felt that if I exercise regularly (which I do) and I eat mostly nutritious foods, then whatever resulting body type manifests itself, is fine. I try to practice gratitude for a body that is able in many ways that some bodies are not.
And yet, as I get closer and closer to 50 (still over a couple years), and notice small changes, the softening of edges that were never overly sharp, I wonder how I can make my whole being really BELIEVE that whatever that form is, is good. Desirable, even.
In the meantime, I will continue doing what I do. Move my body. Enjoy my food, for comfort, necessity and celebration. Who the fuck cares the reason. Just enjoy. And try to direct my mental energy to more important endeavours – relationships, intellectual growth, helping others, gratitude, the list goes on.
Part of the joy in life is enjoying the simple pleasures. It is simply pleasurable to be sitting in my comfy bed on a Sunday night, next to my loving husband, and mindlessly relieving digestive cookies from their package and dunking them, and savouring them, while streaming a show on the TV. It’s a great way to free your mind from everyday stresses. I will always endorse choosing joy.

Saudi Arabia’s NEOM took to Instagram to share a long-awaited post regarding the ongoing progress of The Line – the horizontal skyscraper-style city in the middle of the desert.
And, as you can see from the clip, things are evolving pretty rapidly.
The Line is the headline act, sort of the hero image for the massive $1 trillion project Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) is working on.
They call it ‘The Line’ because it is a city that extends horizontally and, once it’s done, it will more or less literally look a line when viewed from above.
The project was announced a year ago and even though we’d already seen updates, usually through drone footage, these updates came from ‘fans’ rather than from an official source.
The goal is to complete the project by 2030, and construction is well underway.
Designed by Santa Monica-based firm Morphosis Architects, the structure will be 105 miles (170 kilometers) long, 500 meters high and 200 meters wide.
The Line will be fully capable of supporting itself and provide a living space for up to nine million residents.
That equates to 8,350 acres or 13.5 square miles, making The Line larger than the Principality of Monaco and Gibraltar combined.
The city will include residential areas as well as commercial areas, along with its own stadium, a yacht marina, and other facilities like shopping malls and office spaces.
The Line will also have its own public transport system, making it possible to travel from one end of the city to the other in just 20 minutes.
It’s a massive undertaking and yet, this is just one of several projects that NEOM is working on.
Aside from The Line, the other project that probably stands out a bit more when compared to the others is Aquellum, which is being referred to as an ‘upside-down skyscraper‘.

Moloch, they're not afraid of you anymore.
Descend from your perch unknown.
I'm falling back where I've shattered
to recover a piece of my mind--
through fog settled thick I hear it call:
as a whisper distorted in age.
You need to calm down.
But it's a stutter through locked jaw--
some slurred set, wicked bound,
muffled by incessant, viscous, sound.
In your dreams you're a sailor surprised by the hate underfoot.
"Towards tomorrow!" you shout to the sky.
When lucidity lapses you're shocked, it feels like the first time.
Start repeating "good bye."

Liverpool news: ‘Shy’ £52m star misunderstood Klopp’s tactics due to lack of effort to learn English
Naby Keita ‘could have been more proactive’ in learning English, which played a part in his underwhelming spell at Liverpool, according to a report.
Liverpool spent £52million to sign Keita from RB Leipzig in July 2018.
There were high hopes for the Guinean midfielder when he joined having also attracted interest from Barcelona and Bayern Munich during a wonderful spell with Leipzig.
Keita has arguably ended up being the only big-money signing Jurgen Klopp has made that has not worked out, however. Darwin Nunez should not be written off yet, by the way.
He has only played eight times in the Premier League this season and will leave Liverpool when his contract expires next month.
The 28-year-old’s time at Anfield has been massively hindered by injuries, though this was never a problem for him during his time in Germany.
Some players simply struggle to adapt to the physicality of the Premier League, and that has certainly been the case with Keita.

A brilliant article from The Athletic has dug deep into where it has gone wrong for the former Leipzig midfielder, with his poor English cited as a significant factor.
Injuries are a large focus here, with ‘plenty of sympathy at Liverpool’ with Keita’s career in England ‘blighted’ by a number of setbacks
Having only missed ten of 68 games in the Bundesliga at Leipzig, six of which were through suspension, the ‘dramatic change’ in fortunes is attributed to ‘the challenge of adjusting to greater intensity and physicality than he was used to both in training and matches’.
Keita’s technical ability has never been in doubt, but as a ‘shy, laidback character’, it has not been easy for him to ‘come out of his shell’, with the 2022 summer exit of his best pal, Sadio Mane, not doing him any favours.
The language barrier was a ‘recurring problem’ for Keita. The report gives an amusing example of his lack of understanding of the English language.
The report states: ‘In early 2020, Mane was having breakfast with Keita at Melwood when one of the staff came over to inform the midfielder they were going to step up his rehab that morning with a light jog around the training field. Much to Mane’s amusement, Keita replied: “Yeah, yeah, I like eggs.”’
It is said that Keita’s younger brother, who moved with him to Formby, essentially ‘looked after him’, though ‘there’s a sense that he could have been more proactive in terms of making that process easier, especially when it came to learning English’.
His poor grasp of the language has had a negative effect on how he takes in tactical instructions from Klopp and Reds assistant boss Pep Lijnders.
The report adds that Liverpool discussed a new contract last year, but he will depart at the end of this season having won a Champions League, Premier League title, FA Cup and Carabao Cup.
