When it comes to staying healthy, there’s one food we should all be eating more of – and that’s fish.
Health experts recommend everyone should enjoy at least two servings of fish a week, one of which should be an oil-rich variety such as sardines, mackerel, herring, fresh tuna, trout or salmon.
One of the reasons we should include oily fish as part of a balanced, nutritious diet is because they contain omega-3 fats – and these have been shown to have many health benefits. There are so many benefits of eating fish, if you want to find out more head over to this page.
Seafish, the national authority on seafood launched a campaign with Fish is the Dish to encourage the people of Britain to eat more fish by promoting its health benefits and the wide variety of tasty and convenient ways that it can be enjoyed. As part of this they launched a challenge for bloggers and asked them to take part in ‘Ready, Steady, Cook Fish!’
I was sent a package of assorted ingredients which will include fish, vegetables, herbs etc. The challenge was to create a fish dish of your choice in just 30 minutes. I had to stare at all of those food for a good ten minutes because I have to admit I rarely cook fish and wasn't sure what to do with it.
This is what I came up with in just under 30 minutes.
- Put the potatoes in a pan, cover with lightly salted water, bring to the boil and cook until tender. Drain, toss with a drizzle of oil, set aside and keep warm.
- Meanwhile, cook the asparagus and artichokes in a large pan of boiling salted water for 3-5 mins until tender. Drain and set aside to keep warm.
- Chop the tomatoes, spring onions and basil and add a little oil and lemon juice and season.
- For the sea bass, heat the grill, pour 2 tbsp of oil into a pan set over a medium heat, add the garlic, and cook for 1-2 mins. Sprinkle a little salt and pepper into the pan, add the fish, skin-side up, cook for 2-3 mins, then remove from the heat. Drizzle with the remaining oil, then cook under the grill for about 4 mins until the skin blisters and the fish is cooked through. Keep the fish warm while you finish the veg.
- Thickly slice the potatoes and arrange a layer in the middle of each of 4 dinner plates. Scatter the asparagus over the potatoes and artichokes, squeeze over some lemon juice and finish with a grind of black pepper. Top each plate with a fillet of sea bass, finishing with a few spoons of salsa.
My meal was incredibly tasty, quick to make and nutritional. I've already bought some more sea bass and some cod. I plan on using the leftovers up and cooking the cod in a parcel with tomatoes and veg with some garlic, parsley and basil.
Do you eat enough fish?

Sane: Mental Illness, Addiction and the 12 Steps
Last Updated: 16 Oct 2020
In 2010, Marya Hornbacher, Pulitzer Prize nominated author of” Wasted” and “Madness”, published her personal take on the 12-Steps called, “Sane, Mental Illness, Addiction, and the 12 Steps”. In her work, Hornbacher takes the reader through a step-by-step discourse on how the 12-Steps can work for those who are dually diagnosed.
The First Step is where it all begins.
In the chapter Acceptance, Hornbacher eloquently provides the following take on surrender:
“Working a program will not cure my mental illness, but in working a program, I learn the things that can help me manage it. I learn the power of surrender. I surrender to the truth, facing the reality of my mental illness and my addiction, and that surrender sets me free. I am now free to take action on my behalf: I now choose to manage my mental illness, and I now choose to lead a sober life I am now free to take action on my behalf: I now choose to manage my mental illness, and I now choose to lead a sober life. Step One is where that surrender takes place.”
Hornbacher writes with the authority of one who has been there. Her book “Madness” provides a graphic portrayal of her life with addiction and Bipolar Disorder.
Another recurring theme in Sane is spirituality:
“…I was ready to trust that there was a better way than mine. All the change that had already occurred as I worked the steps wasn’t something I could do on my own. So I knew it was something bigger than me that was going to do the rest of the changing. I knew that it was going to take spiritual effort and spiritual I knew that it was going to take spiritual effort and spiritual willingness on my part. And it wasn’t going to be a one time thing. Spirituality was going to have to become a permanent part of my daily operations.”
Hornbacher’s writing style, along with her firm grasp of the 12-Steps makes for an excellent read. As I went through the book I found myself saying, “YES!!!” time and time again. She “gets It” and is able to convey the positive message that is so needed. This book is a must read for those who, like Hornbacher, may have struggled with accepting the 12-Step path of recovery. I give it 5 stars.

A Texas man's lawsuit to disqualify former President Donald Trump from the South Carolina Republican primary on constitutional grounds was rejected, keeping Trump in the race.
John Anthony Castro, a 40-year-old tax preparer from Texas, took a bold step by filing a lawsuit against Donald Trump, aiming to block the former president from appearing on the South Carolina GOP primary ballot. Castro's argument hinged on Trump's alleged involvement in the January 6th insurrection, which he believed rendered Trump ineligible under the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. This legal move was part of Castro's broader strategy, as he had filed similar lawsuits in more than two dozen states, all of which have been unsuccessful to date.
U.S. District Judge Mary Geiger Lewis ruled against granting Castro a temporary restraining order that would have removed Trump's name from the ballot. Her decision was not based on the substance of the 14th Amendment claims but on Castro's lack of legal standing. The judge pointed out that Castro had not demonstrated a serious presidential campaign of his own or any concrete harm that would justify the court's intervention.
Judge Lewis's decision focused on the technical aspects of legal standing rather than the constitutional debate surrounding the 14th Amendment. She noted that Castro's assertion of losing votes to Trump was speculative, especially since he had not actively campaigned or spent resources in South Carolina. Furthermore, Castro's inability to pay the state GOP's $50,000 ballot filing fee did not strengthen his case, as he failed to prove his financial incapacity convincingly.
It is noteworthy that the logistical feasibility of removing Trump's name from the ballots was questionable. Ballots had already been printed and distributed to voters, including those overseas, making any court-ordered changes practically impossible at this late stage, Post And Courier reported.
The broader constitutional questions raised by Castro's lawsuit are expected to be addressed by the Supreme Court. The high court has agreed to hear Trump's appeal in a similar case from Colorado, indicating that the ultimate resolution of these 14th Amendment challenges will come from the nation's highest judicial authority.
Amid his legal battles against Trump, Castro faced significant legal troubles of his own. He was indicted on 33 federal fraud charges in Texas, allegations he vehemently denies. U.S. Attorney Leigha Simonton highlighted the severity of the accusations against Castro, painting a picture of audacious criminal behavior.
Leigha Simonton stated, "Mr. Castro’s alleged crimes are stunning in their brazenness."
The timeline of events surrounding the lawsuit underscores the complexity and urgency of the matter. From the initial filing in early September 2022 to the distribution of primary ballots with Trump's name in January 2023, each step has contributed to the unfolding legal drama.
Judge Lewis's ruling and the subsequent commentary from Trump's campaign have framed this legal defeat for Castro as a broader victory against what they perceive as election interference efforts. Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung characterized the ruling as a "stinging defeat" for such endeavors.
This case not only highlights the legal challenges facing Donald Trump but also underscores the intricate balance between political strategies and constitutional law. As the South Carolina GOP primary approaches, the eyes of the nation remain fixed on the Supreme Court, awaiting a decision that could have profound implications for the interpretation of the 14th Amendment and the eligibility of candidates for public office.
The rejection of John Anthony Castro's lawsuit against Donald Trump by a federal judge underscores the complexities and challenges of leveraging constitutional arguments in political disputes.
With all eyes on the upcoming Supreme Court decision, the legal and political implications of this case continue to unfold, reflecting the deep divisions and contentious debates shaping American democracy.


Julia Cuny’s Honeymoon of a Lifetime in Japan
Where would you go if time and money weren’t an issue? This was the question that Knee Product Manager Julia Cuny and her husband, Adam, debated on their first date. They agreed: Japan. So, when her five-year anniversary with Arthrex came around, Japan was the obvious answer.
Having celebrated her Arthrex anniversary in 2020, the trip was postponed until 2023. By then, she had gotten married – and her Trip of a Lifetime turned into a honeymoon.
The couple wanted to experience authentic Japanese culture and just disconnect from everyday stresses.
Still, they made a quick stop at Arthrex Japan when they landed in Tokyo.
“Since we were there, it seemed like the perfect time to see it,” Julia said.
Before embarking on their journey, she and Adam explored Shibuya Crossing – one of the most recognizable sights in Japan. Around 2,000 people cross the intersection every two minutes. Julia was amazed by the sight.
“It was so chaotic, but also very organized,” Julia said. “Very different from any other city I’ve seen.”
After leaving Tokyo, they stayed at a beautiful ski resort in Hokkaido, Japan’s northernmost island, where Julia and Adam only worried about when to ski and how much to relax.
They lingered in Kyoto for a few days and toured the Imperial Palace. From there, they took day trips to Osaka and Hiroshima.
The couple enjoyed a wide range of activities on their vacation: exploring shrines throughout the country, visiting Tokyo DisneySea and go-karting in character onesies.
But Julia’s favorite moments were when she immersed herself in the history and traditions of Japan.
“I loved diving into the culture,” she said, “it’s so quiet and respectful. Definitely a change of perspective.”
In Hakone, a town at the base of Mt. Fuji, they stayed at an inn which offered a selection of kimonos for them to wear, a traditional fish dinner and an onsen, a small hot spring, in each room.
The highlight of the trip was near the end of their vacation. Julia, a sushi enthusiast, booked an Omakase meal. She and her husband were the only two people in the room – other than the sushi master. The chef chose the ingredients and planned the menu the same morning. He handed them each course as it was completed.
“It takes longer to become a sushi chef in Japan than it does to become a doctor,” she recalled, “and the food was delicious! My husband hates fish and even he loved it – that’ll tell you how great it was.”
After two-and-a-half weeks exploring the island, the couple returned to Tokyo for the trip home.
“Japan was a major bucket list location for my husband and I,” Julia said. “We are so grateful to Arthrex for helping us make our honeymoon unforgettable!”
While she hasn’t decided on her destination for her 10-year trip, she’s excited to see if she can out-do Japan.
“I don’t think it’s possible,” Julia said, “but I’m going to try!”
For every five years of employment with Arthrex, employees are eligible for a company-paid Trip of a Lifetime to recognize their dedication. Look for more Trip of a Lifetime highlights on the Arthrex Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn pages.

Isaac Hayes III, the son of the legendary African-American musician and actor Isaac Hayes, operates a subscription-based social media platform called Fanbase. The platform allows users to monetize their content and connect with their audience through various media features.
He recently made history as the first Black entrepreneur to raise an impressive $10 million in crowdfunding. In October, it was announced that the platform’s equity crowdfunding round had successfully crossed $4.50 million, bringing the total amount raised by Fanbase to $10 million.
“I am the first Black person to raise $10 million in Reg CF equity crowdfunding,” Hayes III wrote on Instagram on November 7. In a separate statement, the tech entrepreneur said equity crowdfunding was a way of allowing members of the community to own a piece of the platform.
“Equity crowdfunding is our way of inviting the Fanbase community to own a piece of the platform they believe in. We’re not just building a product; we’re growing a community-driven ecosystem where every voice, every creator, and every supporter shares in our collective success.”
According to him, the crowdfunding also aligns with the company’s mission of “Be you. Without limits.” He noted that the move backs the industry target, where every user can access and engage with a global audience free from traditional constraints.
What is more, the company’s move exemplifies its commitment to growth and inclusivity, allowing everyday people to become stakeholders in startups they support, he said.
The proceeds from this latest round are reserved for enhancing user experience, developing creator tools, and expanding marketing efforts for Fanbase to reach a wider audience, the statement said.
Meanwhile, Hayes III previously spoke to “REVOLT Black News Weekly” about the reason behind the launch of his platform. According to him, he wanted everybody to monetize their content and capitalize on the new world.
“It’s really important that everybody, moving forward, is able to monetize their content [and] capitalize off the new world that’s about to come in the next five or ten years,” he explained.

Crackdown 3 has become an unlikely champion of the Xbox first party and its constant delays since it was first announced in 2014 have continued to disappoint fans of the game and the platform. For those unfamiliar with the series, it's an open world wild shooter where agents grow by performing skills within the game. This is best matched with the phrase, "Skills for Kills, Agent. Skills for Kills." which is from the series' voice over announcer. The game was originally just called Crackdown until it was given the third number during Gamescom 2015 to make the series a trilogy.
It was supposed to be the first game to truly show off the power of the Xbox Cloud which has all but disappeared since. It's been sitting there for a long time and in an era where Xbox has next to no exclusives it's become somewhat of a big deal. This is rather odd as the franchise has never been quite at that level of being a big deal. I personally love the series, but I know it isn't a Halo, Gears or Forza game and to see it in the spotlight like it is must present a lot of pressure towards the game. I'll certainly enjoy it like I did at E3 2017 since it's Crackdown, but I know not to expect too much from it.
With expectations running high for Crackdown 3 I'm worried the game isn't going to come close to hitting those goals and it'll just get a storm of hate directed towards it. There's a lot running on the game for Xbox since there are few other games and its depressing to see it be what Xbox is basically riding on at this point. It is also getting more attention in what's become a regular thing for Microsoft, to continuously delay games and then eventually cancel them. I would believe that this game is safe to release since its been in development so long and is one of the last Xbox owned IPs that are not the holy trinity in development. I just can't assume that's the case anymore since I've seen Scalebound vanish, Fable die (mad tears) and so many other games get pushed back. It is also best to keep in mind that it got delayed very close to what was supposed to be an official launch.
I don't really trust Xbox to deliver anymore and that's a sad state, at least for me. I've seen so many cancellations, delays or removals of services from the console that it's become numbing. I feel as though we should have known something was up at E3 2017 since multiplayer wasn't showcased and the campaign presentation didn't really show any actual story, at least from what I saw there. I do like the Crackdown series and I hope three delivers if does ever release. Might soon become titled Crackdown 3: Forever. It is just going to have a lot more attention on it than it should have and more pressure than I think the series can handle. This should be more of a supplementary game in your exclusive release schedule and now it's become the biggest release on Xbox's current schedule.

But the term "pain in the area of the vanes" is collective. Use it, if the pain is located:

Artificial Intelligence is a reality today and it has changed our lives faster than we can imagine. It is already present everywhere from shopping, traveling, and cooking recommendations that we get based on the data we have on our phones, televisions, and other devices.
In past few years, artificial intelligence is growing so rapidly that it has impacted more than one industry, but one industry impacted significantly is the banking industry. For organisations which are in the banking sector, it is very important to keep up with the competition.
The following are some use cases where AI is being employed in the banking industry:
Most of the major banks across the globe use Artificial Intelligence to avoid any financial obstacle or anti-money laundering. In this competitive age, it is important to be fast and accurate. Advancement is the demand of today’s growing world.
Customer Service using Chatbots
Chatbots are already being used in the banking industry to revolutionize the customer relationship management at a personal level. Bank of America provides customers a virtual assistant named ‘ERICA’ that gives customers suggestions and helps resolve their financial affairs more accurately and fast. In India, State bank of India (SBI) has collaborated with ALLINCALL Research and Solutions and has introduced SBI Intelligence Assistance.
Recommendation engines are also a very good example of Artificial Intelligence, as it recommends the plans and investment strategies based on past data and plans which helps the customer more accurately by meeting his/her requirements more effectively through the most appropriate recommendation to the user based on their preferences and the users’ history.
Robotic Process Automation (RPA)
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is the creation of software robots that can be trained. This is similar to how a human colleague might be trained. This frees up the limited IT professionals to concentrate on more strategic tasks. Banks are actively employing RPA techniques so as to automate various mundane tasks. This is helping them improve the productivity of their employees.
AI as a technology now has become the backbone of the banking system, helping humanity as a whole. With the speed at which it is progressing, there is no doubt the industries that employ AI will grow at a much faster rate.

Manufacturing Industry Challenges:
The challenge of predicting customer demand for the future continues to plague many businesses. The main concern here is the absence of an efficient monitoring system that would help companies forecast demand for their products, make estimates on how many items they should sell in the upcoming years, and adjust production plans accordingly.

Inventory management is the most common issue faced by manufacturers in their businesses. And most SME’s record and check on their inventory manually, which is a very time-consuming task. Manual checks on the stock are inefficient, which leads to errors, follow-on mistakes, scarcities, surpluses, and unidentified losses.

PATRIOTIC Front (PF) youths have warned that they will take to the streets to demand that Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Mutembo Nchito, his business partner Fred M’membe, proprietor of the Post newspaper, and Nchima Nchito pay back the K14 billion Development Bank of Zambia (DBZ) loan and other huge sums of money owed to parastatal organisations.
It was unfair, the youths have said, that the Post owed more than K4 billion in taxes alone and many billions more in National Pension Scheme Authority (NAPSA) contributions from defunct Zambian Airways and have not been paying the taxes because of the relationhip they were enjoying with the PF government.
The youths now want DBZ, ZRA and NAPSA to agressively pursue the Post Newspaper and ensure that it met all its debt obligations.
The youths have also said that they are aware that the Post Newspaper has not been remitting taxes to the Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA) and other statutory institutions such as NAPSA for the last three years.
Former Lusaka district PF vice secretary Benja Siwila said the people who owe Zambians K14 billion had ganged up with some sponsored individuals and launched a crusade to malign and scandalize Finance Minister Alexander Chikwanda so that Zambians could forget about their indebtedness to DBZ.
Mr Siwila said it was not surprising that the Post Newspaper had continued to weep the dismissal of Wynter Kabimba because they had realized that time to account for their economic transgression had come.
He said Zambians were more interested in having money owed to statutory bodies such as DBZ, ZRA and NAPSA were paid because failing to settle such debts was tantamount to robbing the country.
Mr Siwila said the Post Newspaper was trying to rebrand and repackage Mr Kabimba because of the benefits they accrued while the former Justice Minister was in government.
“They have been hiding behind the courts of law to avoid paying back the K14 billion DBZ loan. We also know that they have not been remitting taxes to ZRA for the last three years. In fact the Post stopped paying taxes to statutory bodies such as ZRA and NAPSA soon after the PF formed government and we are demanding that they pay back the DBZ loan. We also know that the Post has not been remitting taxes to ZRA and we have been watching. Time has come now to start paying or we shall go on the streets. They have acquired a lot of assets and if they cannot pay, we would be happy to have them seized,” Mr Siwila said.
Mr Siwila said the youths would resort to demonstrations against the three former directors to the defunct Zambian Airways because it had become clear that they were resisting to pay back the loan.
He said the youths in Lusaka would soon launch a second phase of what he termed kawawawa to press government to ensure that the K14 billion owed to DBZ was recovered. Mr Siwila said the youths were aware that there was a judgment by suspended High Court Judge Nigel Mutuna who ordered that the K14 billion DBZ loan be paid back because it was obtained by fraudulent misrepresentation but Mr Nchito,, brother Nchima and Mr M’membe had been using the courts to avoid settling the debt.
He said the hate crusade against Mr Chikwanda was meant to divert the attention of Zambians from the DBZ scandal, adding that such plans would not help the trio to escaping from giving back Zambians their money. Mr Siwila said the youths were happy that Mr Chikwanda had demanded that the defunct Zambian Airways should pay back the DBZ loan in accordance with the tenets of good corperate governance. He said the Post Newspaper had continued groaning over the dismissal of Mr Kabimba not because the former Justice Minister was unfairly fired but because of the benefits that would be lost as a result of the dismissal.

Nearly half of Americans believe that popular social-networking site Facebook is merely a passing fad, a new study suggests.
A poll conducted by the Associated Press and CNBC found that 46% of respondents think Facebook will fade away as new platforms come along in the future. However, about 43% believe the site will likely be successful for the long haul.
The study was conducted among 1,000 Americans ages 18 and over, with a margin of error of 3.9%.
The survey comes as Facebook readies for its initial public offering later this week. The company confirmed on Tuesday that shares will be priced between $34 and $38, with the company's valuation at more than $100 billion.
About 50% of respondents said they believe the expected stock market value is overvalued, while only 3% said the projection is undervalued. About 32% said that the number is valued fairly by the market. The remaining percentage either didn't know or declined to answer.
The study also asked respondents if buying Facebook shares would be a good investment that would outperform other investments — about 51% believed it would be a good investment, while 31% disagreed.
As for whether or not people believe 28-year-old Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg can run a large publicly traded company, only 18% said they were extremely confident. About 40% said they were somewhat confident and 20% said they weren't confident at all. Respondents cited age as helping his ability to run the company (21%) compared to hurting his ability (11%).
Do you think Facebook is just a passing fad? Let us know your opinion in the comments.

Using your hands, rub the tenderloin all over with 1 tablespoon canola oil. Rub all over with the cacao nib mixture, massaging it into the meat until well coated.

Jazz on a Winter's Night 2 + CD: 10 Christmas classics for jazz piano - Nikki Iles Jazz series (Sheet music)Nikki Iles (editor)
Sheet music 32 Pages / Published: 17/08/2017
- We can order this
Following the success of the first volume in Nikki Iles's acclaimed jazz series, this collection features sophisticated new jazz arrangements of Christmas classics, including 'Let it snow', 'Mary's Boy Child', 'Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer', 'Sussex Carol', 'We three kings', and 'Past three o'clock'. The expertly recorded CD, by Nikki Iles, helps with interpretation and developing a real sense of swing. With fully notated rhythms, grooves, and improvisations, Jazz on a Winter's Night 2 is the perfect collection for pianists looking for that authentic sound.
Publisher: Oxford University Press
Number of pages: 32
Weight: 154 g
Dimensions: 307 x 201 x 7 mm
As one would expect in jazz, there are regular stretches of a seventh, but not much beyond that, meaning that the pieces are also suitable for those with smaller hands. The included CD is essential listening, conveying nuances of rhythmic and tonal inflection which can't be notated. Nikki is of course an exceptional and highly experienced professional jazz performer, and it really shows here. For a well-styled performance, the audio content offers an outstanding model which should not be ignored. Jazz on a Winter's Night has established itself as my all-time favourite Christmas music book a but this sequel gives it a run for its money! Both books are now utterly essential for any pianist above intermediate level. It's great to find that Jazz on a Winter's Night 2 is as absolutely brilliant as its forerunner, and it really does deserve to sell a million! * www.pianodao.com *

text: As the flat bayous and prairies of south Louisiana give way to the hilly northern part of the state, the historic cultural sway changes too—from French to the Anglo-Saxon tradition. Homer, named for the Greek poet, epitomizes this influence. Located in a late 19th-century hotel, the history and culture of North Louisiana hill country is preserved and celebrated at the city's H.S. Ford Memorial Museum. Homer's Greek Revival-style brick courthouse, completed in 1860, is a rare example of an antebellum courthouse still in use. It is also the showpiece of the city's collection of sites on the National Register of Historic Places. With flowering plants in spring and summer and colorful foliage come autumn, Homer's country roads promise beautiful vistas. A drive through these scenes leads to Lake Claiborne State Park where hiking, camping and water sports abound, while the surrounding area also offers golf courses and hunting lodges.

Introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives on February 3, 2022, H.R. 6584, the DEPICT (Diverse and Equitable Participation in Clinical Trials) Act directs the Commissioner of Food and Drugs to amend certain regulations to increase clinical trial diversity. If enacted, it would trigger revising parts of federal code regulations on investigative drug and medical device applications to include several provisions such as a diversity action plan for how the sponsor will meet certain goals related to:
- Demographic-specific outreach and enrollment strategies
- Study-site selection
- Clinical trial inclusion and exclusion practices
- Diversity training for trial personnel
Another important component would be the creation of community engagement and outreach protocols and tools to improve the inclusion of underrepresented minorities in clinical trials and research. The precise language states, “The Secretary of Health and Human Services, acting through the Director of the National Institutes of Health, shall conduct, coordinate and support activities for purposes of community engagement with, and outreach to, underserved communities to facilitate inclusion of underrepresented minorities in clinical research and clinical trials.”
This would also include grants to increase the capacity of health centers (a key point to follow, comment on and potentially advocate for amendments) to participate in clinical trials and research with an emphasis on community education and outreach strategies. The overall H.R. 6584 suggested fiscal authorization would be $100 million over fiscal years 2022 to 2025.
A link to the DEPICT Act and relevant articles is below. The Foxglove Alliance will continue to monitor H.R. 6584 because of its relevance to its M3R (More Minorities in Medical Research) Campaign.

Define Your Goals
The first step is to define what you want to achieve. How do you want to feel? Healthy and energized? Healthy and confident? In control of your weight? Whatever it is, write it down. When you physically write down your goals, you’re telling yourself, “I’m serious about this”. This makes your mind go to work on helping you stick to the plan.
The next step is to narrow your list to your top 5 goals. It’s important to have a focus. Don’t worry, you can always add, modify or change your goals. Once you have the list, reread it often!
Always Be a Goal Digger
Keys to goal setting
Be positive! Focus on what you want to accomplish — not what you are trying to get rid of. Use positive language. For example, instead of losing 10 pounds, make your goal to be healthy and feel amazing in your skin. Instead of not feeling tired anymore, make your goal to have tons of energy!
Set process-oriented goals, too. Examples of process-oriented goals include: having twice as many leafy greens with dinner, waking up early for daily workouts, bringing your shakes to work, increasing your workouts by 5 minutes each week.
- Write your goals in present tense, as if they are happening right now! “I feel amazing in my skin,” “I’m healthy, happy,” and “I love my body.”
Visualize Your Success
You hold the key to something powerful and life-changing. It’s the strength of your mind and thoughts. The power of visualization. Athletes use it all the time, and we’ve used it to reach goals in our own lives.
We have no doubt that you can alter your circumstances and increase happiness with positive visualization. This is about believing and seeing yourself get to where you want to be. Focus your thoughts and dreams on what you want in life and you will make them your reality! This is true for your health, your career, your relationships, your friendships – all aspects of your life!
Now that you have your list of goals, it’s time to picture yourself exactly where you want to be!
Use visualization while meditating, during workouts, as soon as you wake up, or when you fall asleep at night. All you need to do is imagine yourself achieving your goals: See yourself getting stronger, running longer distances, and sticking to your Nutrition Plan.
Once you see yourself achieving your goals, it will feel real. Visualization truly works!

My name is Chris Blackwell, and I’ve been working as a general contractor in the Southern Bay Area and Peninsula regions for the last 32 years. I was born and raised in Saratoga, California, and still make my home here. In my teens, I worked summers as a laborer and later as a carpenter for my father and uncle’s company, Blackwell Homes. I attended Pepperdine University and graduated cum laude with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration in 1984.
After college, I went back to work for Blackwell Homes as a full-time carpenter and later as a tract project manager. It was during this time that I came to appreciate the challenges and rewards of the construction industry.
In 1988, I started my own business, Chris Blackwell Construction, Inc. and began building small subdivisions in the East San Jose foothills. Starting in the early 1990s, my focus shifted across the valley to the Los Gatos and Saratoga area, where I enjoyed working on more satisfying custom home and speculative projects.
It was in this type of high-end construction, with a passion for the uncompromising standards of craftsmanship, that I found my niche. From 1992 to the present I’ve been developing my skills and commitment to quality construction, learning the fine points and defining touches that distinguish one builder from another.
I still live in Saratoga with my wife of 33 years, Pamela. Our daughter, Chelsea, is a graduate of Pepperdine University, where both my father and I studied.
Chris Blackwell Construction, Inc. is all about the relationship between client and contractor. That’s what makes each project unique and uniquely personal. Over the years I’ve been fortunate to have worked with a variety of wonderful and creative clients. Together we have achieved results that provide the ultimate reward for me: homes that my clients love. I consider that a real privilege.
Continuing a Family Tradition
Long-time residents in the Bay Area will remember Blackwell Homes. From 1955 through 1998, brothers Jack and Ken Blackwell built and sold over 15,000 homes in the greater Bay Area and earned a solid reputation in the industry. Their quality developments provided affordable housing to the many young families settling in this beautiful area. To this day people still tell me, “We live in a Blackwell Home and love it.” That kind of testimony is truly heartwarming and makes me proud of my family’s legacy in the Bay Area home-building business.

Islamophobic and anti-Semitic graffiti causes distress in Newcastle
Categories: Latest News
Thursday November 09 2017
Regional paper Newcastle Chronicle reports that offensive graffiti featuring a swastika and the words “F*** ISLAM” was found on a street in the east of the city.
The graffiti was painted white onto a brick wall in Coppice Way in the Sandyford area of Newcastle, and was reported to police on Monday 6 November.
Councillor Dipu Ahad said that local residents who have previously suffered abuse had raised concerns with him, but that some of those targeted on the basis of their religion were too afraid to tell the police.
Councillor Ahad said, “The hostility the Muslim community faces is definitely on the rise, we see it every day, there are a lot of people who come to me and say they’ve been attacked, spit on, had headscarves ripped off – I always encourage them to report it but sometimes people are too scared to.”
Councillor Ahad, a representative for the Elswick ward, added, “[The graffiti is] disgusting, but it’s also a learning experience – we should be disgusted but we also need to talk about what’s going on behind this, as a city we need to talk about why this happened.
“We need to be looking at how to educate people about this sort of hatred.”
Northumbria Police said officers had attended the scene and were making ongoing enquiries. The force said a “request has been made to the council for the graffiti to be removed”.
Recent Home Office figures show that police in Northumbria recorded 1,770 racially or religiously aggravated hate crimes in 2016-17, a 58% increase on the 1,120 racially or religiously aggravated hate crimes recorded the previous year.
Anyone who encounters abusive or insulting graffiti can report it to police by calling the non-emergency number 101. Alternatively, Islamophobic abuse can be reported to MEND’s Islamophobia Response Unit by completing the online form here.

Do vocal exercises improve singing?

We devote thousands of hours of research to help you get Big Travel with Small Money. You support us by signing-up for credit cards through partner links which earn us a commission. Here’s our full Advertising Policy.
AMEX small business credit cards are very appealing to folks in the miles & points hobby because they do NOT appear on your personal credit report. So opening cards will NOT hurt your chances of being approved for Chase cards.
That said, the welcome bonus and perks have to be valuable to consider submitting an application. Because you’re only eligible to earn the welcome bonus ONCE per person, per lifetime on ALL their cards.
If you qualify for small business cards, The Business Gold Rewards Card from American Express OPEN is worth considering. The welcome bonus can easily get you $900 (or more) if you transfer points to airline and hotel partners and book award travel. And the card’s annual fee is waived the first year!
I’ll share my full review of the AMEX Business Gold Rewards card.
My Review of the American Express Business Gold Rewards Card
When you apply for the AMEX Business Gold Rewards card, you’ll earn 50,000 American Express Membership Rewards® points after spending $5,000 on purchases in the first 3 months of opening your account. These flexible points are extremely valuable for folks looking to get Big Travel with Small Money!
Some folks tell me they’ve received targeted mailers with larger welcome bonus offers. So keep an eye out to see if you can get a better deal.
Remember, with AMEX, you can only earn the welcome bonus on a card ONCE per person, per lifetime on ALL their cards. So it’s best to apply when you can take advantage of a larger than normal welcome bonus.
As an AMEX Business Gold Rewards cardholder, you’ll also earn 3X AMEX Membership Rewards points per $1 you spend in 1 of these 5 categories (you get to choose):
- Airfare purchased directly from airlines
- US purchases for advertising in select media
- US purchases at gas stations
- US purchases for shipping
- US computer hardware, software, and cloud computing purchases made directly from select providers
Note: You can choose your AMEX Business Gold card 3X bonus category within the first 2 months of receiving your card. After that, you can change it annually between December 1 and January 31. If you don’t make a change, your 3X bonus category will remain the same as the previous year. Here’s a step-by-step guide to choosing your AMEX Business Gold card 3X bonus category.
For the remaining 4 categories, you’ll earn 2X AMEX Membership Rewards points per $1 spent. And you earn 1 point per $1 for all other purchases.
Keep in mind, you’ll earn 2X and 3X points on the first $100,000 in eligible purchases in each category per calendar year. After that, you’ll earn 1 point per $1.
And the card’s $175 annual fee is waived for the first year. So you can use the card for ~10 or ~11 months to see if the perks are worth the annual fee. Then, decide whether to keep the card or cancel.
What Can You Do With 50,000 AMEX Membership Rewards Points?
AMEX Membership Rewards points get you lots of travel flexibility. Because if you don’t have set travel plans for a future trip, these transferable points give you the option to choose from multiple airline and hotel partners when the time comes.
Transferring points to partners will usually get you the most value for your points. But you can also redeem points for 1 cent each using AMEX Pay With Points for flights through the AMEX Membership Rewards portal without having to worry about blackout dates. This means the 50,000-point AMEX Business Gold Rewards card welcome bonus is worth at least $500 in airfare savings!
Here are a few ways you can use the 50,000-point welcome bonus to get more than $500 worth of travel!
1. Cheap Award Flights to Hawaii
Alaska Airlines and Singapore Airlines are now partners. This means you can transfer AMEX Membership Rewards points to Singapore Airlines. Then, book coach award flights on Alaska Airlines to Hawaii from West Coast cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Seattle for only 12,000 Singapore Airlines miles!
So the AMEX Business Gold Rewards card 50,000-point welcome bonus could be worth 2 round-trip flights to Hawaii! The same flights could easily cost more than $900 total if you pay cash. Redeeming points this way makes the card’s welcome bonus extremely valuable!
2. Delta Award Flights to Los Angeles, New York City, and Many Other Great Cities!
Folks traveling within the US can transfer AMEX Membership Rewards points from the AMEX Business Gold Rewards card welcome bonus to Delta. Then, book award flights to fun cities like New York or Nashville.
Delta no longer publishes an award chart! But it’s possible to find cheap one-way coach award flights at the following prices if you’re flexible with your travel dates:
- 5,500 Delta miles for short-haul flights (i.e. Los Angeles to San Francisco)
- 10,000 Delta miles for medium-haul flights (i.e. New York to Atlanta)
- 12,500 Delta miles for long-haul flights (i.e. New York to Los Angeles)
Keep in mind, you’ll have to pay a small excise fee to transfer AMEX Membership Rewards points to Delta because it’s a US airline.
3. One-Way Business Class Award Flight to Europe
If you’re looking to travel to Europe in style, you can transfer AMEX Membership Rewards points to Air Canada Aeroplan and book a Business Class award flight. And Air Canada is part of the Star Alliance, which means you can redeem miles for award flights on partner airlines like Lufthansa, SWISS, and United Airlines.
A one-way Business Class award seat from the US to countries in Western Europe (like Germany, Italy, and Switzerland) costs 55,000 Air Canada Aeroplan miles.
Remember, you’ll have at least 55,000 AMEX Membership Rewards points with the AMEX Business Gold Rewards card after you welcome and complete the minimum spending requirements (50,000 point welcome bonus + at least 5,000 points from minimum spending).
A similar one-way Business Class flight could cost several thousand dollars if you paid cash. So the AMEX Business Gold Rewards card welcome bonus can save you lots of money!
6 Money Saving American Express Business Gold Card Perks
Besides the valuable welcome bonus, AMEX Business Gold Rewards cardholders can also take advantage of these money saving perks:
- No foreign transaction fees
- AMEX OPEN Savings – discounts of up to 5% or bonus points at eligible merchants
- AMEX Premium Roadside Assistance
- Return protection – 90 days to return eligible purchases (up to $300 per item and up to a maximum of $1,000 per calendar year)
- ShopRunner – AMEX cardholders get a free membership, which can save money with free 2-day shipping from dozens of retailers
One of my favorite parts about being an AMEX cardholder is getting access to AMEX Offers. These targeted deals allow you to get a discount or earn extra points on purchases you might already be planning. And they’re always changing, which means there are always new opportunities to save money!
Apply Using Just Your Social Security Number!
You can apply for the AMEX Business Gold Rewards card using just your social security number. You’re NOT required to have an EIN (Employer Identification Number) to apply.
AMEX does NOT have strict income requirements for business cards. They’re usually more concerned with your personal income and credit history because you’re personally responsible for any debt you accrue.
When you apply for the AMEX Business Gold Rewards card, you’ll earn 50,000 American Express Membership Rewards points after meeting minimum spending requirements. The welcome bonus is worth at least $500 in airfare if you book using AMEX Pay With Points.
But you can get potentially much more value by transferring points to any of 20 direct airline and hotel partners for award travel. For example, the welcome bonus points can get you 2 round-trip award flights from the West Coast to Hawaii if you transfer points to Singapore Airlines and book award flights on partner Alaska Airlines.
Besides the valuable welcome bonus, AMEX Business Gold Rewards cardholders can save money with perks like:
- No foreign transaction fees
- AMEX OPEN Savings
- AMEX Premium Roadside Assistance
- Return protection
- Free ShopRunner membership
- AMEX Offers
Don’t forget, AMEX small business credit cards do NOT appear on your personal credit report. So opening cards will NOT hurt your chances of being approved for any Chase cards! And there are no strict income requirements for AMEX business credit cards.

We all want our brains to be healthy as we age, but when it comes to fueling both our brain and body, what are the best foods to eat? In this post, we'll take a look at the top 5 brain boosting super foods that will help power your brain for years to come!
1. Pomegranates (and pomegranate juice)
Pomegranates are filled to the brim with important antioxidants, which are great for a healthy brain. But why are antioxidants so important for our brains? Think about it this way - all the cells in our body are subject to wear and tear as we age, but brain cells are especially susceptible to this. Antioxidants can help to support the brain and reverse some of the oxidation damage our brains sustain over time. Plus, pomegranates are delicious! If you buy pomegranate juice, know that you don't need to drink much at one time to get the brain benefits. Also, be sure your juice doesn't have any added sugar.
Similarly, blueberries are another great source of antioxidants. They're great for fueling our brains as well as helping our brain heal from damage. They've also been shown to help reduce widespread inflammation in our bodies. Blueberries are also a great source of Vitamin C and fiber, which will help keep you full for longer. With all these benefits, be sure to grab a handful of blueberries to snack on today! Check out these blueberry recipes from our FREE Online Cookbook too!
You've likely heard that walnuts are one of the best brain foods out there (they even look like mini brains!) but you might not know why. Walnuts are a great natural source of DHA, an Omega-3 fatty acid. Eating walnuts has not only been associated with an increase in the brain's ability to learn and remember, but they're also a great protector against heart disease. Who knew these little nuts packed such a powerful health punch? Check out this amazing homemade Apple Granola with walnuts from our FREE Online Cookbook!
Who doesn't love some salmon? It's a great source of protein and healthy fats. Like walnuts, salmon is filled with Omega-3's which not only help with memory, they also have an anti-aging effect on the brain! Studies have shown that many American's are deficient in Omega-3's, so be sure you're incorporating foods like walnuts, salmon, chia seeds and spinach into your diet. We've got dozens of easy, healthy Salmon recipes in our FREE online cookbook too!
Now this is one brain super food I bet you don't hear talked about much! A lot of the research on beets and the brain is relatively new, but that doesn't make it any less important. Recent studies have suggested that one of the compounds in beets can actually help to slow and even reverse the brain plaques and tangles that cause Alzheimer's Disease. Beets sometimes get a bad rap, but prepared correctly they really are so delicious! You can bake your beets and serve them with a bit of goat cheese or chop them up into an arugula salad, but regardless of how you cook them, just make sure to get your beets in this week. I want to challenge you to give this Citrus Beet Salad a try. I bet it will change your mind about beets and how delicious they can be!

CLEVELAND — Donald Trump’s comments Wednesday about a new U.S. approach to NATO and other world issues were not a mistake, or bluster, or a negotiating position meant to strike some future deal with America’s allies. He meant every word and will do what he said whether Europeans and Republicans like it or not, according to his chief policy adviser.
Sam Clovis, who has been the Trump campaign’s top policy official since last August, told an audience Thursday that the Republican nominee’s comments in an interview with the New York Times, which included threats to condition the U.S. commitment to aiding NATO allies in distress on their financial ...

By B. Case, Amazon Vine Voice, Top 500 Reviewer, February 17, 2014
A Delightful Satire Full of Black Humor- 5 Stars
“Tea Cups and Tiger Claws,” by Timothy Patrick, is a dark satire and morality story on the
theme of revenge. It’s written very cleverly along the lines of a fractured adult fairy story. It
is delightfully complex and crosses two generations and sixty years before the perverted
revenge-plot comes to its ultimate fulfilling conclusion, an ending that leaves the reader with a
brilliant coup-de-grâce moral message.
I thoroughly enjoyed the elaborate and convoluted plot. I took delight in the (mostly evil)
characters and the bigger-than-life dimensions of their personalities and actions. But most of
all, I enjoyed the black humor as well as the frequent searing passages of dazzling satirical
prose. At its heart, this is a novel darkly critical of the growing worldwide divide between the
rich and the poor, a divide that the author believes leads to envy, hatred, and moral
corruption. The author is deeply sardonic; his prose is savvy and smart. It is clear he believes
that justice and morality are difficult to foster in a world with a huge divide between the rich
and the poor.
If you love social satire delivered with a large dose of brilliant black humor and you are
concerned about the current growing divide between the rich and the poor, you’ll probably
love this amusing twisted tale. I did and I recommend it highly.
