The Atlanta Falcons got a much needed win Sunday afternoon. While the first half inspired anxiety and anger (familiar feelings over these past several weeks, eh?), the team battled in the second half and came away with the win. Here are my key takeaways now that the Falcons once again have a winning record.
The defense is hitting its stride
Dan Quinn and Marquand Manuel know how to motivate their defense. Despite torrential rain, there was no stopping this defense today. They battled, particularly in the second half. They racked up three sacks and had to overcome some poor officiating. They weren’t perfect, not even close, but they came up with some decisive third down stops and kept the offense in the game.
There’s no quit in Matt Ryan
Matt Ryan had a tough time holding onto the football today. He fumbled a couple times but rebounded nicely, throwing two touchdown passes and throwing for 254 yards. That 50+ yard pass to Julio Jones was magical, as was his touchdown pass to Mohamed Sanu, which required some fancy footwork while under pressure. Matt has had a tough year, so even if we didn’t need it to, his performance today inspired a lot of confidence going forward.
The Falcons are turning the corner on special teams
Special teams can never be discounted in the NFL. It makes it much harder to win a game when your special teams play is lackluster. So when your special teamers do things that make winning much easier, it’s an added bonus. Matt Bosher had a couple key punts late in the game. One of his punts pinned the Jets within five yards of the end zone. (The punt hit the ground and immediately took a 90 degree turn and flew out of bounds.) A second Matt Bosher punt stayed in the air for a ridiculously long time and was then fumbled, which led to a Kemal Ishmael recovery. Don’t forget about Matt Bryant going four for four on field goal attempts.

Review by Joyce
These patterns were derived from a set labelled Course for Proper Pupils in Bobbin Lacemaking I. (Does this make it unsuitable for all GumNuts?)
There are 52 patterns starting with the bandages and progressing to mats motifs and a collar.
Tallies/leaves are used frequently and for the masochistic there is a small mat with 45cm long rectangular tally. Seriously for those with a Celtic knot bent you may be inspired.
Three languages:- German, English and French.
Diagrams and thread drawings are clear and the Belgian colour code is used.
The patterns develop their own style, – some with a Beds/Cluny flavour and others reminiscent of the Scandinavian free hand laces.
(One mat features triangular tallies that reminds me of Liz L.’s needlelace – but hers looks more precise.)

Americans have long been threatened by the horror of coronavirus.
The tendency of this deadly virus to damage has exceeded their expectations, and the nation is simply petrified.
Every now and then, there is news of people dying and leaving their loved ones behind sobbing and mourning over their departure from this world. The nation might not go through a time as excruciating as this in decades to come.
People across the country are shell-shocked and can’t make heads or tails out of the trauma that suddenly befell them.
It would not be an exaggeration to state, the Americans are thoroughly grief-stricken and are expecting some good news in the near future. They so want things to go back to square one, but fate is giving them the opposite of what they wish.
It’s extremely sad and tragic yet true, America has just ascended in terms of the death toll. 1,890 people have lost their battle against COVID-19 in 24 hours which is the highest number of deaths recorded in America to date.
While we are expecting the numbers to descend, they continue to go upwards which leaves all of us in despair.
America is one amongst the most affected nations on this planet, the country has the biggest number of RIPs albeit its highly advanced health infrastructure.
Up until now, the United States of America has marked 398,813 confirmed cases of COVID-19, and 12,908 people have met their end.
These statistics are nothing as compared to what we might see in future.The numbers are predicted to be increasing in near time.
Unfortunate but true, the total number of deaths within 24 hours might rise up to 3,000 in up and coming days. No false hopes have been given by the American officials, and they have rightfully apprised their people in advance of the adversity that is sure to hurt them as a nation.

Westerly is known for many great things: beautiful beaches, Victorian-era hotels, even an annual yellow rubber duck race (yup, every April). And although there’s always been a lively music scene, the town has never been known as a destination for touring musicians. Sean Spellman is aiming to change that.
Spellman’s company, Westerly Sound, is playing a key role in the revival of Westerly’s arts scene, a movement he hopes will make the town a destination for Rhode Islanders and tourists alike. The goal is “to present art, food, film, and concert events in unique spaces throughout Westerly and its surrounding area,” Spellman says.
A midway point between Boston and New York, the town at the southwestern corner of the state is poised to become a stop on national music tours, with concert venues such as the Knickerbocker Music Center and the United Theatre ready to welcome them.
Spellman founded Westerly Sound in 2017 when he held the United Folk Festival, an outdoor festival to benefit the United Theatre. “My partner and I were both touring musicians for over a decade,” he explains. “I was born in New London, Connecticut but lived out on the West Coast for some time. When we moved to Westerly and settled here, we missed being able to see quality music all the time. So we just started calling our friends and booking shows at the Knickerbocker. It started as just a way to connect with our friends who were passing through on tour.”
Following the festival, Spellman decided to do a year-round series at different locations around town. “We did it for about two years and then the pandemic hit,” he says. “We took a little hiatus and then this year, we’ve noticed Westerly is transforming. There’s a lot of new energy here, so much positivity.”
Spellman has become a promoter of sorts, although he didn’t set out to do that. His main goal is to inspire a more creative, diverse community. “Music and art is the best way to do that,” he believes. “That’s where I have knowledge and experience. All those years I spent in the van touring with my indie band Quiet Life. Now the time is right because Westerly is changing.”
Not surprisingly, there are challenges to producing shows in a town the size of Westerly. “Bands that will easily sell 1,000 tickets in New York have trouble selling 500 at the United Theatre. We’re not quite at the level where people are looking to Westerly to see these bands,” says Spellman.
Despite this, the results so far are promising. He’s lined up some big names in indie music circles this summer including past Newport Folk Festival performers Tre Burt this month and Billy Bragg in October. He’s also got country favorite Ward Hayden this month and singer-songwriter Hiss Golden Messenger in September. Plus, there’s a free outdoor summer series, Explorations in Atmospheric Sound, held in Wilcox Park, on the first
Sunday of every month through October.
“I think art and music are the bridge to community diversity, not just ethnicity and race, but what people do, how people think about their community,” says Spellmen. “We’re raising our two kids here, though we’ve lived in cities for most of our adult lives – we don’t miss the high rent, and we’re thankful to live in a beautiful place near the beach that’s quiet. What we miss is the culture, the art, the music, and the food.” With Westerly Sound, Spellmen hopes to build on what’s already great about the town.

This is book 5 of the RGMC
Elijah “Law” Jackson is a local attorney. He’s also a biker with The Rebel Guardians MC. After his long-time girlfriend, Ava, and he part ways, he goes on a bit of a sabbatical to clear his head. He knows that she wasn’t the one, but he wants what his brothers have found in their women.
Cassarah Clarke was the product of a system that failed her. Growing up in a group home with her sister, she kept her head down and her nose in the books in order to make a life. Even though she has her cosmetology license, she works in a local diner to make ends meet and to keep under the radar, because her brother-in-law is a very bad man. She doesn’t feel love is in the cards for her, especially not living in Podunk, USA. Until him. Seeing the clear blue eyes staring at her as he waited for her to pour his coffee, she feels an attraction that she’s never experienced before.
Can Law break through Cassarah’s shyness and show her she deserves every good thing?
Recommended for 18 yrs and up.
May be spoilers:
Rereading and reviewing as I haven’t read it since 2018 and need a refresher so that I can read the Nelson Brothers.
Law is the 5th in the Rebel Guardians MC series. It has 14 chapters with an epilogue and is about Law and Cassarah.
I will recommend reading the series in order.
Law is taking a break after a hard case and breaking up with his girlfriend.
Cassie is hiding from her sister’s husband.
Definite instaconnection and attraction.
She hesitates a little because of her brother in law.
Law is still working on figuring out his last case that actually intersects with Cassie.
Both have been celibate for awhile. Lots of steam.
Very emotional. Very sweet together.
He is gone for a couple of months, but only cause he has to be.
I actually like that she went to him.
This was just a really great story of them getting together and dealing with his case. I really loved it.
Law, he was awesome. All in from the beginning.
No cheating, no ow/om drama, separation is a couple months-she doesn’t answer his texts, but they aren’t technically broken up.
Epilogue is a set up for Capone’s book. So at the end of this one, she is pregnant. Wish it was further out, but it was still a good read.
I gave it ❤❤❤❤ . Have you read it? What did you think?

The leaders of Okpella in Etsako East Local Government of Edo State have disagreed with Governor Godwin Obaseki on the proposed airport project in Edo North Senatorial District.
The leaders, yesterday at a news conference in the community, alleged marginalisation by the state government, saying the proposed airport outside Okpella would be a disservice to the peace-loving people.
The Okpella leaders, through their spokesman, Chief Richard David, said there was a plan by BUA and Dangote companies to construct an aerodrome at Okpella, in view of their investments in the area.
He said in spite of the contributions of Okpella to the economic sustenance of the state, the community remained the most unattended to, in the government’s infrastructural consideration.
He said: “It was a thing of joy to Okpella people when the BUA group hinted that it had started the process of setting up an aerodrome at Okpella, for which appropriate modalities of location of suitable site, soil tests and payment of compensation to crop owners had been completed.
“We had expected and hoped that what was required of Edo government was to give support and encouragement for the initiative to facilitate its completion.
“We had also expected that the government would commit resources to set up auxiliary infrastructure such as access road to and from the aerodrome, supply of water and improved power supply, among others.
“To our surprise, a letter from the Federal Ministry of Aviation (FMA), dated December 16, 2021, with reference number: FMA/ADD/402/5.42/C.9/12, conveying approval for an airport project, wrongly mentioned Okpella as being part of Etsako West Local Government.”

Compensation that offsets a casualty or loss suffered by a policyholder. Typical forms of insurance indemnity include cash payments, replacement of identical or nearly identical parts or products, repair and reinstatement.
Indemnity may be paid by insurance companies when customers suffer loss covered under their insurance policy. If others are involved in the claim, it must first be determined why the loss occurred and whose fault it was before the responsible party’s insurer offers payment or another form of compensation.
Some life insurance policies also include a clause known as double indemnity, in which the insurance company agrees to pay the beneficiary twice the standard payout in case of accidental death.
Financial indemnity may be performed by one person for another when someone cannot fulfill their obligations. In effect, the second person agrees to cover the first person’s debt or debts through mutual, prior agreement. Loved ones often fulfill this function for one another when a close family member suffers hardship.

WASHINGTON (Apr. 9)
When Commerce Secretary Ronald Brown died last week in Croatia, the Jewish community lost one of its staunchest allies and best friends in the Washington political hierarchy.
Revered as one of America’s best and brightest, Brown, 54, forged solid relations with organized American Jewry as early as the 1970s. Although this relationship was tested during Brown’s time working on the Rev. Jesse Jackson’s presidential campaign staff in 1988, a strong alliance had emerged in recent years.
“Ron had a gut-level bond between the United States and the people of Israel,” said Steven Grossman, former president of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.
“Of all the members of the president’s administration, Ron Brown stands among the top ranks,” said Grossman, who serves on the U.S.-Israel Science and Technology Commission, which Brown chaired until his death.
A U.S. military plane carrying Brown and 34 other government and business officials crashed April 3 in Croatia, taking the lives of all aboard.
Among those who died was Lawrence Payne, 41, a Commerce Department staffer, who took the fateful trip in hopes of making a connecting flight to return to his family in Newton, Mass., in time for the Passover seder.
Since the crash, activists across the Jewish political spectrum have emerged to praise Brown as a man who deeply cared about improving black-Jewish relations, ending the Arab boycott of Israel and securing the Jewish state’s role in a peaceful Middle East.
Using his post as chairman of the technology commission and his office as commerce secretary, Brown sought to bring economic development to Israel and the Palestinian territories “to do his part to show the people of Israel that the road to peace in the Middle East is through economic development,” said Sara Ehrman, a senior political adviser at the Democratic National Committee who worked with Brown when he headed the DNC.
Early in his career, Brown forged relations with the American Jewish world. As counsel to the Urban League, Brown joined forces with the American Jewish Committee to form the National Alliance for Safer Cities in the early 1970s. Brown served as the national chairman of the organization while an American Jewish Committee official worked as its executive director.
But strains in Brown’s relationship with the Jews developed when Brown moved on to land a prominent role in Jackson’s 1988 presidential campaign.
Jackson, who failed in his bid for the Democratic nomination, continued to play an important role in the Democratic Party leading up to the 1988 national convention in Atlanta.
It was then that Brown and American Jews “started out at a point of significant adversity,” Grossman said, recalling that prior to the 1988 Democratic convention, eight state Democratic Party platforms included anti-Israel language. Also to the dismay of Jewish groups, that year’s national convention included a debate on the floor over whether to support a Palestinian state.
Despite the strains, many Jewish Democrats decided to back Brown in his quest for the DNC post following the convention.
“This began a love affair between Ron Brown and the American Jewish community,” said Grossman, one of the first Jewish activists to back Brown’s candidacy.
According to many who knew Brown, this support paid off tenfold.
When the National Jewish Democratic Council was founded by Jewish Democrats who backed 1988 presidential candidate Michael Dukakis, Brown was always there to help, said Monte Friedkin, NJDC’s national chairman.
“Ron was one of the godfathers to the NJDC in the political world,” Friedkin said. “He came to meetings, spoke at luncheons, did everything he could to help us.”
Friedkin was the primary sponsor of a trip that took Brown, his wife and daughter, and many of the Democratic state party chairs to Israel in 1990.
It was there that Brown had one of his first encounters with Ethiopian Jews.
“A little Ethiopian girl came up to Ron and put her arm out next to his to show that they had the same skin color,” recalled Ehrman, whose main role at the DNC has been outreach to the Jews.
“Tears were rolling down Brown’s cheeks,” she said. “He always admired Israel for rescuing the Jews of Ethiopia.”
As Washington continued to mourn Brown’s loss, American Jews who worked with him continued to recall his impact.
“Ron Brown’s relationship with the Jewish community enriched his life and our community,” Grossman said. “It’s not enough to say that he will be missed.”

Avaliação da influência da atividade física aeróbia e anaeróbia na progressão do câncer de pulmão experimental – Summary – Resumo – ´´My´´ Dissertation – Faculty of Medicine of Sao Jose do Rio Preto
Lung cancer is one of the most incident neoplasms in the world, representing the main cause of mortality for cancer. Many epidemiologic studies have suggested that physical activity may reduce the risk of lung cancer, other works evaluate the effectiveness of the use of the physical activity in the suppression, remission and reduction of the recurrence of tumors. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of aerobic and anaerobic physical activity in the development and the progression of lung cancer. Lung tumors were induced with a dose of 3mg of urethane/kg, in 67 male Balb – C type mice, divided in three groups: group 1_24 mice treated with urethane and without physical activity; group 2_25 mice with urethane and subjected to aerobic swimming free exercise; group 3_18 mice with urethane, subjected to anaerobic swimming exercise with gradual loading 5-20% of body weight. All the animals were sacrificed after 20 weeks, and lung lesions were analyzed. The median number of lesions (nodules and hyperplasia) was 3.0 for group 1, 2.0 for group 2 and 1.5-3 (p=0.052). When comparing only the presence or absence of lesion, there was a decrease in the number of lesions in group 3 as compared with group 1 (p=0.03) but not in relation to group 2. There were no metastases or other changes in other organs. The anaerobic physical activity, but not aerobic, diminishes the incidence of experimental lung tumors.

This Is the Truth About Vaccines
Deadly diseases that should be seen only in history books are showing up in our emergency rooms.
By Brett P. Giroir, Robert R. Redfield and Jerome M. Adams
Admiral Giroir is the assistant secretary for Health and Human Services. Dr. Redfield is the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Vice Admiral Adams is the surgeon general.
Vaccinations save lives, protect our children and are one of our greatest public health achievements. As public health officials, our role is to advance the health of the American people. This must include championing vaccinations.
Diseases like polio, measles, diphtheria and rubella were once common in the United States, afflicting hundreds of thousands of infants, children and adults, and killing thousands each year. Some older Americans may remember the fear associated with polio outbreaks and the era of iron lungs and leg braces — a time when swimming pools and movie theaters closed over concerns about the spread of the crippling disease. Others may recall the heartbreaking wave of rubella in the 1960s that resulted in thousands of newborn deaths, with thousands more born blind, deaf or with other lifelong disabilities.
We cannot let America be faced with these fears again. For those of us who have treated critically ill children with vaccine-preventable diseases, we know firsthand the devastation to the child — and to the family and community — of a death, limb amputation or severe brain damage that could have been avoided by a simple vaccination.
Modern vaccines are highly effective and safe, with most serious side effects being exceptionally rare — and much less serious than contracting the actual disease. But misinformation about vaccines is still widely reported, so we feel it is crucial to state clearly and unambiguously: Vaccines do not cause autism and they do not contain toxic chemicals. That fact was demonstrated again this week in a new study on MMR vaccination by Danish researchers.
In part because vaccines have been so successful, clinicians practicing in the United States today may have never seen a patient with polio, or treated a child with measles or bacterial meningitis, and parents may not realize how severe and potentially life-threatening these diseases can be.
Consider measles. The World Health Organization estimates that measles vaccination prevented more than 21 million deaths worldwide since 2000. Although routine childhood vaccination for measles remains high in the United States (greater than 91 percent for preschool children), localized dips in vaccination coverage have resulted in a recent resurgence of measles in parts of the country. A total of 17 measles outbreaks affecting more than 370 individuals have been confirmed in 2018 alone, and 10 states are already reporting cases this year. Unfortunately, many more communities are at risk for outbreaks because of areas with low vaccine coverage.You have 2 free articles remaining.
Influenza continues to severely affect our families. In the last flu season of 2017-18, about 80,000 Americans died from the disease. Scores of them were children who had not been vaccinated. Yet, early season vaccination rates remain below 50 percent for both adults and children. The flu vaccine is the best way to avoid getting the disease, and those who do fall ill are less likely to develop severe flu symptoms that lead to hospitalization or death.
The list goes on. In 2017, only 49 percent of American adolescents received all of the recommended doses of the HPV vaccine, which is the best way to protect both males and females from developing certain cancers — including cervical, anal, mouth and throat cancers. One in five teenagers — approximately 4.5 million people — have not received the vaccination for the contagious form of bacterial meningitis, even though the swift-moving disease can leave an otherwise healthy child facing amputation, organ failure or death within 24 hours of onset.
And the nation is experiencing a multistate outbreak of hepatitis A, especially among people who use drugs or experience homelessness. Yet the disease — which can lead to liver failure and death — can be prevented with a safe and effective vaccine.

We cannot be complacent. The recent measles outbreaks are a reminder that diseases that we might have thought had become rare in the United States are still infecting unvaccinated people, sometimes with dire consequences: Children with measles can develop fatal complications. These diseases should be seen only in history books — not in our emergency rooms.
We are committed to countering the misinformation that fuels anti-vaccine sentiment among parents and legislators who are earnestly trying to protect their children and the public. Science that sits on the shelf has no value. We must take advantage of the lifesaving tools we have to protect our nation’s most vulnerable.
Our children, and our children’s children, have the opportunity to grow up in a world that is free from polio, measles and other vaccine-preventable diseases. We must work together to make this a reality.

I just got a 2004 Mazda 6s. While I was overlooking it I noticed that the power steering pump high pressure return was busted along with the cross brace that holds it along the bottom I'm gonna get it welded back up and put in a new return. Here's the thing the car has been ran at least 50 miles on it since, the owner didn't notice as that's how he got it (dropping off the trailer it broke it). He sold it to me because the fuel pump was cutting out and he didn't know what the issue was (he is used to older cars). Anyway I'm trying to figure out if I should just replace the pump while I'm at it or if I can save a bit of cash as money is tight and just replace the line?

This project is a really simple and affordable project to do. It is easy and you only need a few basic materials. We made these whilst reading ‘The BFG’ by Roald Dahl – see the blog about ‘Reading : inspired crafts’. We made some to hang in doors using a shop- bought kit. Then we were inspired to make our own version for the garden.
How to make.
Enjoyment: We had Lots of fun with these. The boys were very impressed with how they looked.
Time: Approx 45 minutes – 1hrs to produce.
You will need:
- Something to make a ring or a shape of your choice (card, old pipe, willow, stick or wire).

The Patriots know they're going to host a football game on January 11. They don't know who they're going to play yet.
It'll be Cincinnati, Indianapolis, or Kansas City.
Tom E. Curran breaks down each possible opponent with Mike Giardi on SportsNet Central.
First up, the Chiefs.
"I think they're a problem because defensively they have a lot of talent," Curran said.
Curran lists LB Justin Houston, DT Dontari Poe, S Eric Berry, LB Tamba Hali as key players on defense. But they also have a couple weapons on offense.
"Offensively they have Jamal Charles who along with LeSean McCoy are two of the best running backs in the league," Curran said. "And Alex Smith, people call him a caretaker quarterback. There's no such thing as a bad caretaker. If you take care when you play the position, that's outstanding."
But the Chiefs will have to beat the Colts in Indianapolis to get a shot at the Patriots. Mike Giardi thinks the networks would love to have Andrew Luck make his way to New England, but Curran is quick to say it wouldn't end well for the Colts if he did.
"I think [the networks] would, but the last time the networks had that matchup, the Colts got the puss beat out of them 59-21," Curran said, "so I think that that would be a likely result again, even though that Robert Mathis is one of the defensive player of the year candidates. I think that the inconsistencies of the Indianapolis Colts, beating Denver for instance on a Sunday night and yet having so many flat performances in December, hints to me that they are not yet ready to make the leap."
Lastly, Cincinnati, the No. 3 seed, and team the Patriots will play if they win and the Colts win.
"Much different team now then it was previously," Curran said of Cincy.
"But the biggest concern for Cincinnati is the Patriots played good defense for them that game. But they have somebody that's developed in Marvin Jones on the outside as a wide receiver and a complement to A.J. Green."
They also have Andy Dalton, who is not the least bit consistent at QB for the Bengals.
Curran says in the end that the Colts are the team the Patriots should want to play on Jan. 11.

Balls to launch satellites into orbit: this is the strange idea that has come to a group of researchers from the Finnish meteorological institute led by Pekka Janhunen.
These are steam-powered “hot-air balloons” that could carry rockets complete with satellites at high altitude. Given that in this layer of the atmosphere the air is thinner, throwing the above rockets and satellites in orbit around the Earth from this position is much easier and less expensive. Furthermore, the same balls could be reused because they were designed to return to the ground.
This is not an absolutely new idea: similar tests have already been carried out using hydrogen or helium balloons. However these techniques have shown their disadvantages: helium is very expensive while hydrogen is dangerous because it is flammable.
To explain the new technology with steam-powered balloons is the same Janhunen in the statement published on the site of the same Finnish meteorological institute: “The balloon is filled with hot steam on the ground and released. As the balloon rises, part of the water vapor condenses. Condensation releases a lot of latent heat, which slows down the cooling and helps keep the remaining vapor in the gaseous state. After reaching a sufficiently high altitude, the rocket is released, lights up and flies into space. The balloon is emptied of steam, goes down and can be collected for reuse.”
The same researchers calculate that the weight of the rocket transported could even be 10 tons while the satellite that could carry could weigh even hundreds of kilograms.
The design study appeared on arXiv and was conducted by Pekka Janhunen, Petri Toivanen, Kimmo Ruosteenoja.

The author presented the facts logically and the book felt well researched. The recipes were varied and easy to execute. I've looked through a lot of Paleo cookbooks, so it's not often I come across much that is truly unique, but this cookbook had quite a few recipes I hadn't found versions of before! The meals look easy to make and the diet as a whole is presented in such a way that it doesn't feel intimidating. While I do not intend to adopt a complete paleo diet, I do intend to incorporate several of the concepts and make more of the recipes. And I would definitely recommend this book for anyone wanting to start eating paleo or who wants to add more recipes to their diet. I only wish this book came with beautiful color pictures. A cookbook without pictures or with very little pictures is kind of boring to me. First you eat with your eyes, then you eat with your stomach ;)
Getting kids to eat the food put in front of them can be a tough battle at the best of times, especially as they are often picky eaters. Trying to get them to like specialized food is more challenging still, which is where this book comes in. With that in mind, the design and recipes here are all about finding paleo dishes that kids will genuinely love.
Kelly is such a talented photographer. Her book makes me want to eat the food right off the page. Equally as good as the photography are her recipes. Kelly incorporates chocolate into each recipe so thoughtfully that we cooked from it all week and didn’t feel chocolated-out! The book is packed with delicious recipes for treats, but it also has a handful of savory recipes with a chocolate twist. If you enjoy chocolate even half as much as I do, then this book is a must-have!
One of the problems that many people have with the Paleo diet is that the restrictions make it quite boring. You can only eat certain types of foods, so after a while you will find yourself having chicken and vegetables or steak and vegetables over and over again. By using this cookbook you will be able to add a lot more variety to your paleo diet so that you will enjoy eating this way and stick to the program for a lot longer.
If you’re looking for a beef Paleo dish that comes out looking fantastic, like something you’d want to serve company, you’ll want to go with this braised bottom round roast. It is made with a whopping 3 pounds of grass fed beef bottom round, and has plenty of sweet potatoes, so you’ll be getting the fiber needed to help all of that meat make it through your system. An onion is added for good measure, and there are plenty of sage leaves used for flavor. She’s also using plenty of garlic, so you know that this roast will be noticeable on your palate.
On nights I want to guarantee both cooking and cleanup are a total breeze, I lean on recipes that come together with a single pot, pan, or skillet. One-pan is basically kitchen code for "easy" — something you can totally appreciate when you're following a Paleo diet. Since the diet makes eating out and ordering in kind of tricky (although not impossible), it requires a lot of cooking. So why not keep delicious grain- and dairy-free dinners as simple as possible, with one of these 15 recipes that come together in a single pot, pan, or skillet?

Nevertheless, this is one paleo cookbook that slightly varies the diet. In particular, the author’s definition of paleo includes both potatoes and rice. There is a coherent argument provided for why this is the case and many paleo followers do agree. Still, the decision won’t sit well with everybody on a paleo diet, so it is something to bear in mind.
It’s official—the REAL Paleo Diet is back. Loved for its simplicity, health benefits, and because it really works, the diet has been widely imitated since its release. Yet no one knows this plan better than the world’s leading expert and Founder of the Paleo movement, Dr. Loren Cordain. As an leader in evolutionary medicine, Dr. Cordain realized we’ve moved away from the foods we were designed to eat — lean proteins, fruits, and vegetables — while modern staples such as sugar, salt, and carbohydrates were creating a host of 21st-century health issues, including obesity and heart disease. By eating the right food, people are healthier. But can eating Paleo be tasty?
However, what sets this book apart is its deep dive into the health benefits of paleo eating. There are meal plans specifically designed to address health problems like hormone imbalances or adrenal problems, as well as in-depth explanations of how food can impact your health. Some reviewers say the health information can get a little confusing, but most agree that it’s extremely helpful for understanding the benefits of paleo eating.
This one is a New York Times bestseller and has even sold over one hundred and fifty thousand copies. That's a lot of books - and a lot of people reading! The best part about Paleo for Beginners is that it even includes a huge list of all the foods you can eat while following a Paleo diet. Now you won't have to wonder if your favorite food is allowed!
Understand the paleo approach to nutrition and create clean foods that your body will harness for sustenance, well-being and vital...ity.Sources say that before our ancestors learned to hunt, they ate a raw diet comprised of what they could gather in the wilderness. The plant-based diet gave us everything we needed then, and it does now! Plant proteins are easier for the body to absorb than animal proteins. A plant-based diet provides 10–15% of calories from protein, a safe intake for a healthy human. When eating a raw diet, nuts, sprouts, seeds, sprouted grains and leafy greens are examples of foods that are especially protein-rich. Recommended calcium intake is more healthfully achieved by eating leafy green vegetables like kale, and other calcium rich non-dairy foods like broccoli, seaweed, sesame seeds, and sprouted quinoa. Plants absorb calcium from soil; animals eat these plants to satisfy their hunger and nutrient needs. A plant-based diet goes straight to the source for healthy, easily absorbed calcium and much more. Jenna has created recipes to be enjoyed at any time of the day.

If you like to start your day with granola, most other versions you see on store shelves will not be approved on the Paleo diet. You’ll need construct your own granola recipe using Paleo foods such as nuts, seeds, dried fruits, and spices like cinnamon, and pumpkin spice. This gives you the ability to customize the granola according to your own taste as well as make sure you are only using high quality ingredients. You’ll want to avoid eating it with yogurt as well, as that’s a dairy product. Try it with almond milk as a delicious and nutritious substitute that’s dairy free.
One thing to mention is that the book does focus almost entirely on kid-type foods. This includes some meals and many finger foods. For many families, these probably wouldn’t be dishes that would serve the adults as well. Now, that may not be an issue. But, for people who want to cook a single meal for everybody or who are looking for kid-friendly dinners, the book may not be quite right.
It was time well spent though. Taking time away from all your devices and things that compete for your time is extremely helpful and allows this space to think that you might not otherwise get. I highly recommend you do this if you can. It doesn't have to be on a beach either – your couch is a perfectly good place to do this, but with the tv off and your phone in another room. (This is also different than meditation. Meditation is trying to achieve the absence of thought, this encourages thought.)
The cookbook that makes using your Instant Pot easier than ever!With 175 paleo recipes and photographs throughout, this cookbook i...s a must-have for Instant Pot fans who follow the Paleolithic diet and want fast, healthy, and delicious meals the whole family can enjoy.Based on the diet of our ancestors, the Paleo diet is highly effective for losing weight and improving overall health. And now it’s easier than ever to create delicious, satisfying dishes using fresh and simple ingredients with the Instant Pot—the must-have kitchen appliance that can speed up cooking by almost six times while using seventy percent less energy than traditional cooking methods.In The “I Love My Instant Pot” Paleo Recipe Book, popular blogger and founder of Cavegirl Cuisine, Michelle Fagone shares how to make satisfying, whole-food dishes for every meal with the only device that can replace a slow cooker, rice cooker, and stockpot. read more
These pork chops are made on the grill, so they are going to seal in all of the delicious grilled flavor. Plus they have added a nice mustard coating on it, so you’re going to have a bit of spiciness here as well as the flavor from the pork. They topped it off with basil apricot relish so there will be a sweetness to balance out the mustard, and sweet fruits like apple sauce are often paired with pork chops because they simply go really well together. You’ll want to make sure that you get a vegetable with this. It’s nice to have some fruit with it, but vegetables get top rank along with meat.
The one thing to note is that the complexity of the recipes is somewhat divisive. Some people feel that the recipes are simple and easy to follow, while others find them overly complicated. As is often the case, reality is somewhere in the middle. By paleo standards, the recipes aren’t too bad, especially given you need a good balance of macros to maximize performance. Nevertheless, if you are new to paleo, the recipes may seem a little confusing at first, although you would get used to them.
As the name suggests, this paleo cookbook specifically targets people who are training while also on the paleo diet. This could include many different groups of people, including those who participate in sports, bodybuilders and individuals who simply want to increase their muscle mass. The overall style works well, especially for people who are already interested in performance but are new to paleo.

Hey Tessa! Good question. So after calculating from my credit card, I spend about $275 on average on food without really budgeting. I stick to eggs and chicken as my main form of protein and look for when grassfed beef is on sale. Even at $7 a pound I can get about 3 meals out of that, so it’s not too bad. I will probably be doing a post on this in the next few months when I get back to school and am keeping track of exactly how much I spend on what.

Commercial applications of (CNTs) soon to be realised
First discovered in 1991, carbon nanotubes have remained largely a laboratory curiosity. Now, researchers at the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) are out to change that by producing carbon nanotube-based devices for commercial applications. "This material has tremendous electrical, thermal and structural properties, however, few products utilizing CNTs have hit the commercial market," says Jud Ready, a research engineer in GTRI's Electro-Optics, Environment and Materials Laboratory.

The Danish jeweler Pandora has announced it will only use lab-created diamonds in its products, making it the first major player in the industry to totally abandon mined diamonds.
Blood diamonds: Diamonds are carbon atoms that have been forced into a crystal structure by pressure and heat. This takes billions of years and only happens about 100 miles below Earth’s surface, meaning all natural diamonds have to be mined.
While some diamond mines operate ethically, many are plagued by reports of child labor, human rights abuses, and environmental destruction. The resource is also sometimes extracted by governments or insurgent groups to fund wars — the so-called conflict diamonds or blood diamonds.
The alternative: Lab-created diamonds are physically and optically identical to mined diamonds — the only difference is how they’re made.
The technology Pandora will use to make its diamonds is called Chemical Vapor Deposition, and it involves placing a sliver of a lab-created diamond in a vacuum chamber and then growing it into a new diamond using heat and plasma.
This process takes less than a month (compared to the billions of years it takes for a natural diamond to form) and allows Pandora to produce diamonds at a third of the cost.
Sustainable bling: Pandora’s CVD process is certified carbon-neutral, with more than 60% of the energy powering it coming from renewable sources. By 2022, Pandora expects its lab-created diamonds to be made using 100% renewable energy.
“We want to become a low-carbon business,” Pandora CEO Alexander Lacik told BBC News. “I have four children. I’m leaving this Earth one day. I hope I can leave it in a better shape than maybe what we’ve kind of created in the last 50 years or so.”
The details: Pandora’s first collection featuring lab-created diamonds, Pandora Brilliance, will include necklaces, rings, and other types of jewelry.
Lab-created diamonds can form in weeks. Natural ones need billions of years.
Sales will begin exclusively in the U.K. on May 6, and Pandora plans to go global with the collection in 2022.
While it will sell existing products featuring mined diamonds, it will no longer make new ones.
Why it matters: Lab-created diamonds are seeing a steady increase in popularity, but naturally sourced diamonds still dominate, and most major jewelers still carry them.
No company sells more jewelry than Pandora, though, so its decision to stop selling mined diamonds could accelerate the transition away from the controversial gems.

Semi-precious ‘hardstones’ make their way into high jewellery
We’ll send you a myFT Daily Digest email rounding up the latest Jewellery news every morning.
The star of this year’s Chanel Escale à Venise high jewellery collection was a large necklace that tried to reconnect locked-down travel fans with the vivid silhouette of the Lion of Venice in the Piazza San Marco. But, to capture the correct shade of blue, Patrice Leguéreau, the company’s director of fine jewellery, passed up sapphires and tanzanite for a less-precious hardstone: lapis lazuli.
It was the obvious choice to reimagine a starry sky, offering an indigo hue flecked with gold-coloured pyrite. The more accessible costings compared with precious gems allowed Leguéreau to be lavish. The Escale à Venise Constellation Astrale necklace uses custom-cut tiles of the gem to create a dramatic tesserae-like pattern in homage to Roman mosaics, accented by a scattering of diamonds and yellow sapphires in star-shaped settings.
And while their name may lack romance, such ‘hardstones’ — semi-precious gems known for their durability — have been common in recent high jewellery launches. Once more associated with less expensive jewels, the stones are proving to be sought-after as playmates to more costly faceted gems — providing colour and scale.
“Hardstones are beautiful natural materials that are fortunately less rare than their gemstone cousins and therefore can be used more lavishly,” says Sara Prentice, the creative director of House of Garrard, the London jeweller. “This allows more scope to incorporate colour on a bigger scale.”
She turned to hardstones when designing this year’s Fanfare Symphony collection of fan-shaped jewels, inspired by the accessories used by 18th-century women to conceal their identities at London masquerades. In each design, a hardstone is paired with a chromatically complementary faceted gem: pink opal with pink sapphire; turquoise with aquamarine; malachite with emerald.
“This collection shows off the contrast between the facets of the gemstones and the opacity and depth of colour in the hardstones, in the design,” says Prentice. “After the unexpected year we’ve experienced, there seems to be even more pull towards colour.”
It was the uninterrupted, matt colour of hardstones that romanced Victoire de Castellane, the artistic director of Dior Joaillerie. “For me, colour in jewellery is very important and I adore using all the stones, especially hardstones,” she says. “I had the idea in mind for a long time, I was just waiting for the right moment.”
That moment has now arrived, and one of the best examples of her experimentation is in the Gem Dior collection (below), which she describes as “abstract-organic, an organised disruption”. The designs took inspiration from the formation of minerals, and thin, rectangular cuts of hardstones were used, including chrysoprase, onyx, carnelian and aragonite, to create jagged lines.
A timepiece in the collection with an octagonal malachite face is a nod to watchmaking’s recent fascination with hardstone dials: in April, a vintage platinum Rolex Daytona with a turquoise dial sold for six times its presale estimate at Sotheby’s, fetching $3.1m.
Dior has also used discs of hardstones for its more accessible lines, tapping into the so-called healing properties of the gems in its Rose des Vents collection.
Other jewellers have followed suit. The unisex Les Berlingots de Cartier collection stars cuboids of pink and blue chalcedony, onyx and malachite, bookended with diamond-studded pyramids of gold. Van Cleef & Arpels has added the stones in dome and petal form to its entry-level Perlée and Alhambra collections.
Italian jeweller Pomellato used hardstones in an unexpected way this year, taking broken jet and kogolong, a smooth white volcanic gemstone found in Afghanistan, and repairing them with gold in homage to the Japanese ceramic art form of kintsugi, after which the collection is named. It created narratives on craft, sustainability and “the idea of celebrating your scars as a sign of strength”.
This is not the first time the jeweller has celebrated the opaque stones. In 2017, it released a collection of hardstone cocktail rings to mark the brand’s 50th anniversary, using lesser-known stones such as zoisite, rhodochrosite, dendritic agate and chrysocolla. “It was a new territory,” recalls Vincenzo Castaldo, the creative director at Pomellato. “Mineral gems’ extraordinary natural qualities — veins, inclusions and hues — to me are like colours for an artist. Hardstones allow us to grasp the hidden beauty of mother nature.”
Though hardstones are back in vogue, the gems have been prized through history. While the swaths of colour draw jewellers to them now, it was their ability to withstand carving that originally led them to find fame. They were used to create intaglios: miniature artworks, often portraits, that could double as wax seals to authenticate letters.
A popular Roman wedding ring featured a carnelian intaglio depicting the betrothed couple. Today, Victoria Strigini, a London jeweller, has one of these gems dating to the 2nd or 3rd century, which she has reset in a simple gold ring.

(CNN) - Sarah Palin's ascension to the No.2 spot on the Republican presidential ticket is the first time an Alaskan has appeared on a major party ticket for president.
But she is not the first woman to appear on a major ticket - In 1984 Democratic presidential nominee Walter Mondale chose then-U.S. Rep. Geraldine Ferraro as the Democratic VP nominee in 1984.
Watch: Palin accepts: 'I'm honored'
The last major party VP nominee with less than two years of experience in statewide or federal office was Spiro Agnew in 1968. Agnew had been elected as Maryland's governor in 1966 and inaugurated on Jan. 25, 1967; Richard Nixon chose him to be his running mate in August, 1968. Agnew's previous experience had been at the county level. Palin was elected Alaska's governor in 2006 and was inaugurated on Dec. 4, 2006. Palin's previous experience has been at the city level.
Agnew is also the last sitting governor to be chosen as a major party's VP nominee.

Day 5: Saturdays Are For Couch Snuggles
Today was a nice and chill day! It’s been pretty rainy here in Los Angeles the past week, and today was no exception. On top of that, it’s pretty chilly! I opted to stay in all day and catch up on some TV. It’s the ideal Saturday for me. My dog was not complaining.
I started my morning with my usual hot tea. Don’t you just love this mug?! I got it for fall, but I use it year round because it’s just so cute!
A little later, I heated up Umpqua Oats for my first meal. I added a tablespoon of almond butter, a handful of pecans, and a teaspoon of cocoa powder to make it a more heartier meal. It kept me full for quite some time!
Between meals, I snacked on some cantaloupe. I can not express enough how much I love cantaloupe. It’s such an underrated fruit. I’m here to give it the recognition it deserves.
Later, I had the last two slices of the cauliflower crust pizza I made the other day. I get the crust from Trader Joes, and it’s quickly becoming my favorite. I don’t even know if I need real crust ever again. It’s that good.
For another snack, I had one of my multi grain and seed cracker with a mini brie bite. This is too good for words.
For dinner, we made grilled chicken tenders seasoned with TJ’s ‘Everything But The Bagel’ seasoning I love so much. I didn’t think to take a picture until I was half way done, but I cooked up some steamed mushrooms and spinach.
Lastly, I tried my hand at making a mug cake by adding a dash of flour, cocoa powder, apple sauce, and stevia and then microwaving it for 90 seconds. It wasn’t too bad! I had been dealing with a sweet tooth so this tided me over for another day.
If you are following my intermediate fasting schedule, I started my first meal at noon and my last meal by 5pm. I will have my next meal by noon tomorrow.
Till next time!

One can rest a man for either a day or a week or even a month. Once that period closes, you will begin seeing their posts once more, after which you can rest them once more. Obviously, on the off chance that you feel that broad “napping” isn’t helping, you generally have the great old Unfollow alternative, that won’t let them you see any of the concerned individual’s posts.

"It's really not hard to make up stuff," grinned David Weightman, 28, talking about how he had convinced psychiatrists he was hearing voices to receive a lighter sentence for the murder of his adoptive parents in their Sydney. Australia home. Weightman received 25 years on the grounds of "diminished responsibility" rather than the life sentence he would have otherwise received. Appearing in the Supreme Court jury murder trial of his alleged accomplice, Terry Donai, Weightman reported that he and that he and Donai had discussed the fact that as he was an only child and would inherit from his parents' deaths. The murder plan involved Weightman drugging his parents and that Donai would then smother them.
On the night of January 8, 2000, Weightman put several sleeping tablets into his parents' tea and was outside their house when he heard his mother scream from her bedroom. Donai had emerged from the house "stinking like death", sweating and breathing heavily. He said Donai told him: "That really took a lot out of me. I'll need a hand with your dad."Weightman then held his father down as Donai smothered him with a pillow. He and Donai then pushed a car with the bodies inside over a nearby embankment to make their deaths appear accidental.
After the murders, Weightman refused to pay Donai the $18,000 he had promised him. "I was angry and mad and I didn't feel like he deserved to be paid," Weightman told the jury. He confessed to his part in the murders in 2004 after years of badgering by his aunt and uncle. While in jail waiting to be sentenced, he was told by another inmate that if he could convince psychiatrists he was insane then he could go to a psychiatric hospital rather than jail.
Weightman said he told "numerous lies" to psychiatrists while being assessed, including hearing voices, and seeing bubbles and "little gremlins". In 2005, when Justice Peter Hidden sentenced Weightman to 25 years in jail, with a minimum of 19 years, he said he lowered the sentence from life because of Weightman's confession and the help he gave police. Justice Hidden also stated that he believed Weightman suffered from schizophrenia at the time of the murders and was sorry for having killed his parents.
Donai has pleaded not guilty. He was arrested last year.


In what opponents called a blow to efforts to save water and relieve pressure on the city’s beleaguered sewer system, the Los Angeles City Council on Tuesday voted to allow owners of thousands of small apartment buildings to self-certify that they have installed water-saving devices.
In a separate action, the council voted to extend a Thursday deadline until Jan. 13 on the requirement that property owners install low-flow shower heads and toilet tank devices to cut water usage.
Those not in compliance after the new deadline will be subject to a 10% surcharge on their water bills, beginning in April.
The council votes come more than five months after the city imposed a law at Mayor Tom Bradley’s urging for the dual purposes of conserving water during the drought and also to curb the amount of waste water that winds up in the sewer system. Among the prohibited water uses are the hosing off of driveways, patios and sidewalks.
Bradley made the proposals after it became apparent that by 1992 the sewer system would reach its capacity of 460 million gallons per day. When the emergency measures were imposed, the waste water flow into the system--representing about 90% of the content of the system--was about 400 million gallons per day.
Tuesday’s action affecting apartment buildings of 10 or fewer units was sought by Councilman Zev Yaroslavsky after a committee action recommended that only single-family homes, duplexes, condominiums and small commercial properties be allowed to declare themselves in compliance with the water-saving effort.
Yaroslavsky argued that many senior citizens in his district who live in apartment buildings they also own should be trusted--just as homeowners--to self-certify that they have installed the water-saving toilet tank and shower devices. Without the ability to self-certify, Yaroslavsky said, owners of smaller apartments would be forced to pay potentially exorbitant fees to have a plumber or some other third party sign a declaration that the retrofitting had occurred.
“I don’t think it was the intent of this ordinance . . . to make a bunch of plumbers rich or create a full employment act for certifiers,” Yaroslavsky said.
Yaroslavsky’s proposal to exempt what officials estimated as nearly half of the more than 605,000 apartment units from requirements that an outside party confirm that the devices are installed was approved on a 10-4 vote.
After the council action, Deputy Mayor Michael Gage called the action “inappropriate.” Gage, saying he was speaking for himself and not Bradley, said the apartment building exemption could mean that about 5 million gallons of water per day that would have been saved will now be flushed or drained into the sewer system.
Officials have estimated that if all property owners in the city installed the toilet tank and shower devices, as much as 40 million gallons of water would be saved every day.
In an effort to prevent price gouging, the council imposed a $25 cap on the amount anyone can charge to certify a home or other building for the water-saving devices at the time a property changes hands.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
October 09, 2013
My mother and I set sail from San Diego on the Soul Train Cruise, my first and hopefully last cruise experience. (It wasn't the cruise, it was me. I was seasick for 3 days.) First stop: Puerto Vallarta. In the 60s, this former Mexican mining town transformed to a world-class destination that Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton once called home.
Mom and I were only in townfor 36 hours, but it was enough time to enjoy the beachside sculptures along the Malecon, grab lunch (and drinks) at La Bodeguita del Medio (aka L B del M), a favorite hunt of Naomi Campbell's, then dinner at The Blue Shrimp, and lunch the following day at Pepe's. Along the boardwalk, we window shopped to check out the Huichol at galleries and further inland, downtown, we grabbed souvenirs from the excellent (and expensive) silver shoppes. Finally, we trekked about to marvel at the "crown" sitting atop Nuesto Señora de Guadalupe before heading back to the ship.

Bedtime stories for kids play a major role in their development. Reading to your child each night has been shown to cognitively benefit them, with children who are read bedtime stories having higher than average literacy rates as well as an emotional connection to reading. In addition, bedtime stories give you an opportunity to bond with your child and are a welcome addition to any child’s sleep routine.
11 Best Bedtime Stories for Kids
1. Are You My Mother? – by P.D. Eastman
A bedtime classic first released in the 1960s, this illustrated story follows a baby bird who is looking for his mother but finds a colorful cast of characters along the way. Our Editor Jenn says this is one of her favorite stories that eve her mother read to her. She was happy to pass it down to her children.
2. The Great Sheep Shenanigans – by Peter Bentley
A personal favorite, this story follows Lou Pine the wolf in his outlandish attempts at getting a lamb for his supper (don’t worry, no lambs are harmed in this rhyming, illustrated children’s book).
3. Wynken, Blynken, and Nod – by Eugene Field
Another classic, having been written over a century ago and written as a poem is a fantasy bed-time story about three children sailing and fishing among the stars from a boat which is a wooden shoe.
4. Goodnight Moon – by Margaret Wise Brown and illustrated by Clement Hurd.
This children’s bedtime staple follows a bunny as he says goodnight to everything he can see. It’s a great book for kids who have trouble going to bed.
5. I Love You, Baby – by Claire Freedman
Affectionate, funny, and joyful, this is the perfect book for little ones and their families to share.
6. Corduroy – by Don Freeman
Corduroy features a lovable teddy bear searching for a missing button after his residence — a popular toy store — has closed for the night. Vibrant illustrations and a positive message have endeared young readers to this book since its original publication in 1968.
7. If You Give a Mouse a Cookie – by Laura Joffre Numeroff
Clever illustrations highlight this ‘what if’ story that examines the ramifications of feeding uninvited house guests.
8. The House in the Night – by Susan Marie Swanson
A 2009 Caldecott Medal winner, this evocative story features gorgeous black-and-white illustrations and an uplifting message about the meaning of home. The dreamy verses will have your kids slumbering in no time.
9. The Paddington Bear series – by Michael Bond
The 20 volumes in this imaginative series follow the title character — a teddy bear abandoned at a train station — as he travels the world and makes friends wherever he goes. As your child grows, you can watch Paddington movies together.
10. Tree: A Peek-through Book – by Britta Teckentrup
Each of the tree’s changes brings new peek through illustrations of animals and bugs in its foliage until it snows. I love the bright illustrations and peek-throughs and so will your kids.
11. Love You Forever – by Robert Munsch
One of our readers, Christina of Mom of Six submitted this lovely memory of her favorite bedtime story:
For my baby shower, in lieu of a card everyone brought a book with a little message for my daughter. I loved the idea as it set us up with a little library from the start for bedtime stories (and cards just get thrown away).
One of my favorites that was gifted to us is Love You Forever by Robert Munsch. I always read the inscription from my longtime friend’s mother to start, then begin the book.
The story follows a mom through the decades with her son as she watches him grow, but no matter how big he gets she still sneaks into his room at night to rock him. As she rocks him she sings a beautiful song to him as he sleeps.
The story ends with the son rocking his mother and singing the same song to her when she is older and gets sick. You then see him return home and watch as he starts rocking his own daughter to sleep while singing. Keeping the tradition going.
It’s a beautiful story of the circle of life and the never ending love a mother feels for her children, no matter how old or how strange they become as teenagers (ha!). The little song is repeated throughout the book and helps put my daughter to sleep. She also loves babies right now, so to start and end with a baby illustration keeps her attention.
I still get a bit teary eyed when I read it, which makes me love it even more. It’s nice to mix up a sentimental book with a funny toddler book at night.
Tips on Reading to Your Child
Be over the top with the way you read bedtime stories for kids. Give your characters different voices, really emphasize different moods as they occur through the story. This will help your child use their imagination much more and really involve themselves in the story.
Don’t Read the Same Story too Frequently
Switch up the books you read at bedtime. We all know our children want the book they like the most read on repeat day after day, but suggest to try reading a new book, after which you can read their old favorite.
Involve Your Child in the Reading
Swap out certain characters names for your child’s name and draw parallels between the story and your own child’s life, driving home important messages.
It’s Never Too Early (or too late) to Start
Whether your child is 10 days, 10 months or 10 years, if you aren’t already reading bedtime stories together, today is a great day to start!
Our list of books is just a jumping-off point for you and your child to begin your bedtime story journey. Find out what gets your child interested. Do they like stories in a rhyming format? Do they enjoy bright colorful pictures? Are shorter books or longer books their thing?
Take these things into consideration when choosing a new book to add to your collection. To make it even more special, take your child to the library or book store and allow them to help you find a book they want to read for bedtime, which will make it all the more exciting for your little one once bedtime comes.
What are some of your favorite bedtime stories for kids? Sweet dreams, and happy reading!

As the governor began his address, leader of the opposition MK Stalin attempted to read a statement, but in vain as his mike was turned off. The governor tried to persuade him to raise the issues later, but DMK and Congress lawmakers chose to walk out
In a statement later, MK Stalin said, "Ruling AIADMK has no majority. The Governor generously allows government to continue. His review meetings in various districts raised doubts over the philosophy of democracy."
Calling it a black day for democracy, MK Stalin said AIADMK has no support of the 18 disqualified legislators. "The Election Commission too has said the party has only 111 MLAs and the governor remains a mute spectator," Mr Stalin said.
Sidelined AIADMK leader TTV Dhinakaran had won with a huge margin and made his debut in the assembly as a legislator.
The DMK has planned to raise what it calls the failure of the state government in handling cyclone Ockhi and its aftermath, the ongoing transport strike and farmers issues.

Since my March return from six months living in India, the most difficult transition hasn’t been the expected cultural adjustment as much as a major lifestyle adjustment. In retrospect, I don’t know why I thought seeing friends and family, speaking my own language, would feel like such a drastic change. Almost four months after coming home, though, I’m a bit overwhelmed by something completely absent from my India experience: free time.
In India, my every waking moment was spent working, studying language or traveling. I barely slept during the week, and on weekends I raced around Asia, briefly seeing friends, or catching up on work. Although the last few months have seen plenty of running around visiting people and preparing for graduate school, my study and workload have been drastically decreased. Now that the exhaustion has finally worn off, I’ve become increasingly uncomfortable about the way I take advantage my newfound leisure time. I’ve become addicted to the news.
Keeping up with current affairs is no doubt an important professional priority, but as I get more and more news from the Internet, I wonder if I’m using my time wisely. In India, I fantasized about reading all the books I never had time for, and though I still read before bed every night, I find my progress slow and feel myself drawn to the computer at all other times of day. Instead of lying in bed reading on my days off, I hurry downstairs, peruse my family’s Washington Post, fire up the computer during breakfast, and dive into the day’s content.
Surprisingly, the Internet has also been siphoning time from less noble pursuits like watching television or DVDs. Even when I am in front of the TV, I find it harder and harder to pull myself away from the computer screen and actually pay attention to the action at hand. I still have a stack of DVDs I’ve been meaning to watch for months. When I do watch one of these movies or finally on-demand that episode of Treme I missed, I feel a bizarre sense of accomplishment, as if I did something real. The Internet as a medium leaves me so unsatisfied. Its ephemeral click-to-click nature makes even the original zombie box, television, feel substantial and satiating. At least, as this Slate article from last year details, there is actually an explanation for my new obsession. Apparently, the same brain functions that drive our desire to seek out basic needs—food, shelter, a mate, or even information—are stimulated by the constant clicking on the Internet. Discovery, surprises, and anticipation all produce tiny dopamine rushes, further fueling our insatiable quest to find. We are built to be exhilarated by searching.
Some of my time online is without question frivolous. The practical benefits of scouring sports blogs, finding new music, and reading Hipster Runoff (hipsterrunoff.com) are limited, other than these are things that make me happy. But the majority of my time is spent reading news and news analysis. I’ve been traveling the past couple of weeks, and it was strange coming home and feeling like I had no idea what was going on, as if the accelerated news cycle was just waiting to pass me by. I am beginning to worry that surpassing a certain level of Internet-informed is simply a compulsive exercise or, more insidious, a subconscious
way to show off at parties.
I’m not worried about watching less TV, but I fear that the skin-deep world of daily (and hourly) news is usurping my news-gathering and otherwise-enrichment from long-form places, especially books. The news as it appears on the Internet (as well as in newspapers and in most magazines) tends to be a snapshot of the world, a collection of the minutia that paints the mural. Moments of turbulence and stories dependent on timeliness thrive in this environment, filling in the day-to-day gaps when one is trying to understand what’s happening on the ground. But it is not in-depth. Beyond the unsatisfying physical response to the Internet Rush, I feel that I am coming down on the wrong side of a conflict between two definitions of being informed: whether it’s better to know a little bit about everything or a lot about a few things.
The Internet’s quick-fix news helps you know what’s going on, but books help you truly understand. Spending hours at my computer, reading five similar takes on the deficit debate or sifting through the occasional story about Turkmenistan may not be a waste of time, but it isn’t the best use of time. Surely the minutes expelled on such topics could easily translate into reading a book on deficit spending or on the instability of former Soviet nations. Beyond wasting time, knowing only a snippet about what’s going down in Ashgabat may be seriously misleading. The one story you read may paint a wildly inaccurate picture, while with the depth of a book—even a biased one—at least gives you some sense of scope.
