If there’s one thing the world doesn’t need, it’s another Italian Mafia series. Mob shows have become the go-to genre for the Italian industry. Gomorrah (on HBO in the US) and Subra It spawned dozens of (mostly inferior) imitations (on Netflix).
But bad guyThe new mafia show from Indigo Film and Amazon Studios is something different.
Released on Amazon worldwide in early December, the series broke new ground in how the forces fighting the mafia and organized crime are portrayed on Italian television.
Set in Sicily in the near future, this series stars Luigi Lo Casio (traitor, Best of Youth) as Nino Scotellaro, a former anti-mob prosecutor imprisoned on a fabricated charge of conspiring with Cosa Nostra. Enraged at the injustice, he vows revenge. Over the course of the six-episode first season, Nino goes from very good to very bad as he seeks revenge and crosses all moral boundaries, including murder.
That alone is new for Italian television. Mafia-fighting lawyers, at least on the small screen (see example from RAI’s long-running anti-mafia series) La Piovra) — usually indicated as a modern saint. Not Nino Scotellaro. He is a man with a penchant for retaliation, matched only by his love of fine dining and good cigars. This series is breaking bad When Better Call Saul By portraying the transformation of a good man into something completely dark.
RAI series hunterFrancesco Montanari, who played a law-bending, mob-incarcerating prosecutor, opened the door to a more human and flawed portrayal of Italian anti-mob lawyers.but here hunter push the envelope bad guy Tear open the envelope and throw it in the trash.
the beginning of the series, bad guy Directors Giuseppe G. Stasi and Giancarlo Fontana make a clear break with tradition. Throughout the show, we see characters watching a fictional television series depicting the murder of Nino’s father-in-law, a saint’s prosecutor who was killed in a mob bombing. It doesn’t subtly delve into the way I like to tell stories in distinct tones of black and white.
Stasi and Giancarlo Fontana began their careers as satirists, making a name for themselves with spoofed online videos that made fun of current affairs and Italian politics with references to pop culture and American cinema. They worked with some of the biggest names in Italian comedy, including Sabina Guzanti and Neri Marcole, to direct their 2018 feature-length hit. Put grandma in the freezer (Metti La Nonna in the freezer) before pointing the camera at the Mafia bad guy.
That comical background comes out in the running humor bad guy, feels more inspired by Quentin Tarantino than Francis Ford Coppola. It’s also expressed in the style of the series, which features rapid stylistic editing and a keen ear for musical cues and needle drops.
Completely fictional, but bad guy It makes extensive use of official sources and local details to create a credible and effective three-dimensional world for Nino Scotellaro and his mob antagonists.
This is very new for Italian television and should be welcomed.I wish the international success of bad guy — The show, which premiered on Amazon’s Top 10 Most Watched Shows in the U.S. on December 8, is set for a second season and will see even more imitators return home.

Airbus celebrates 100th A220 aircraft
Close to 100 A220s are now in operation with six operators on four continents
December 2, 2019 By Wings Staff
Airbus on November 28 celebrated the 100th A220 aircraft produced for a customer during a ceremony at the aircraft program’s headquarters in Mirabel, Quebec. The A220 Family is assembled at Airbus’ main final assembly Line in Mirabel and also at a second line in Mobile, Alabama, which began operations in August 2019.
The world’s first A220, formerly called the C Series, was delivered in June 2016 to A220-100 launch operator SWISS.
airBaltic became the A220-300 launch operator when the Latvian airline received delivery of the first ever A220-300 three years ago in November 2016. airBaltic has since then re-ordered A220-300 aircraft twice – bringing its firm order to 50 aircraft to become Europe’s current largest A220 customer. The airline now operates a fleet of 20 A220-300 aircraft.
Airbus begins U.S. production of A220
airBaltic is operating its A220 fleet to various European and Russian destinations, as well as to the Middle East. It currently runs the longest flight on an A220 – a 6.5-hour flight from Riga to Abu Dhabi.
Airbus states the A220 is the only aircraft purpose-built for the 100-150 seat market, leveraging Pratt & Whitney’s latest-generation PW1500G geared turbofan engines. Close to 100 A220s are in operation with six operators on four continents. At the end of October 2019, the aircraft had received 530 firm orders from over 20 customers worldwide.

The Two Gentlemen of Verona (Arden Shakespeare: Third Series)
The Two Gentlemen of Verona is commonly agreed to be Shakespeare's first comedy, and probably his first play. A comedy built around the confusions of doubling, cross-dressing, and identity, it is also a play about the ideal of male friendship and what happens to those friendships when men fall in love.
William Carroll's engaging introduction focuses on the traditions and sources that stand behind the play and explores Shakespeare's unique and bold treatment of them. Carroll first explores the early modern discourse of male friendship and relates it to the play s unsettling ending. Special attention is given to the strong female figure of Julia and the controversial final scene. He goes on to discuss various other relevant topics: the influence of the Prodigal Son story on the play, the problem of using a boy in drag (for the first time in a Shakespearean comedy) to depict Julia, and Shakespeare s debt to Ovid and John Lyly in using the theme of metamorphosis. Next, the editor explores the use of letters; the portrayal and breed of Crab, the play s infamous dog; the complex geography of the story; and the play s dramaturgy. Carroll concludes with an extensive look at the play s theatrical and critical afterlife, and a discussion of the original text and date. This edition of The Two Gentlemen of Verona also includes one appendix (a casting chart), and a list of abbreviations and references.
The Arden Shakespeare has developed a reputation as the pre-eminent critical edition of Shakespeare for its exceptional scholarship, reflected in the thoroughness of each volume. An introduction comprehensively contextualizes the play, chronicling the history and culture that surrounded and influenced Shakespeare at the time of its writing and performance, and closely surveying critical approaches to the work. Detailed appendices address problems like dating and casting, and analyze the differing Quarto and Folio sources. A full commentary by one or more of the play s foremost contemporary scholars illuminates the text, glossing unfamiliar terms and drawing from an abundance of research and expertise to explain allusions and significant background information. Highly informative and accessible, Arden offers the fullest experience of Shakespeare available to a reader.

Marriage can be a real killer. One of the most critically acclaimed suspense writers of our time, New York Times best seller Gillian Flynn, takes that statement to its darkest place in this unpausable masterpiece about a marriage gone terribly, terribly wrong. The Chicago Tribune proclaimed that her work "draws you in and keeps you reading with the force of a pure but nasty addiction." Gone Girl's toxic mix of sharp-edged wit and deliciously chilling prose creates a nerve-fraying thriller that confounds you at every turn.
On a warm summer morning in North Carthage, Missouri, it is Nick and Amy Dunne's fifth wedding anniversary. Presents are being wrapped and reservations are being made when Nick's clever and beautiful wife disappears from their rented McMansion on the Mississippi River. Husband-of-the-Year Nick isn't doing himself any favors with cringe-worthy daydreams about the slope and shape of his wife's head, but passages from Amy's diary reveal the alpha-girl perfectionist could have put anyone dangerously on edge.
Under mounting pressure from the police and the media - as well as Amy's fiercely doting parents - the town golden boy parades an endless series of lies, deceits, and inappropriate behavior. Nick is oddly evasive, and he's definitely bitter - but is he really a killer?
As the cops close in, every couple in town is soon wondering how well they know the one that they love. With his twin sister, Margo, at his side, Nick stands by his innocence. Trouble is, if Nick didn't do it, where is that beautiful wife? And what was in that silvery gift box hidden in the back of her bedroom closet?
With her razor-sharp writing and trademark psychological insight, Gillian Flynn delivers a fast-paced, devilishly dark, and ingeniously plotted thriller that confirms her status as one of the hottest writers around.
©2012 Gillian Flynn (P)2012 Random House Audio
"Flynn masterfully lets this tale of a marriage gone toxically wrong gradually emerge through alternating accounts by Nick and Amy, both unreliable narrators in their own ways. The reader comes to discover their layers of deceit through a process similar to that at work in the imploding relationship. Compulsively readable, creepily unforgettable, this is a must read for any fan of bad girls and good writing." (Publishers Weekly)
Gone Girl is a terrific read (listen) with a little bit of everything! Love, suspense, mystery and lots of twists! My only complaint is the curse the use of the F word in the book. The book would have been just as good if the F word was replaced by simply saying sex. But that is a huge hangup of mine in the real world too! Anyway great book overall!
This was the first book I have ever read where none of the main characters appears to have any redeeming qualities. I wanted to like, and sympathize with, Nick, and then I wanted to like, and sympathize with Amy, but soon realized neither was very likable, nor worthy of sympathy.
I liked that the story was told from both sides, and found this an interesting aspect.
I thought both narrators did an excellent job with all the characters, but I didn't have a favorite in the book.
To me, no. I stuck with it till the end, but was disappointed by the conclusion as it seemed no one really "paid for their sins". There were no real consequences for their actions.
I know the book has averaged 4.5 to 5 stars and this was one of the reasons I chose it. While I found the premise interesting, there were more reasons to dislike both the main characters than there were to like and sympathize with either of them. I wish I had not wasted a credit.
The only reason I would is because they are making it into a movie. It wasn't a hard read. Good for the beach, but not really that deep.
The book has two alternating narrators. As you read on, you realize one of them (or both) is a sad liar. Neither of the main characters was likeable to me, and I just ended up not caring what happened to them since they were both awful people.
Probably not. If this is indicative of her style, glorified beach novels, I'd rather not. It's interesting, but I didn't really get anything out of it.
Not bad. Not good. Murder mystery beach novel.
Intelligent, Twists, Captivating
Yes, just when I thought I had it figured out, a part of the story made me change my mind. This occurred often until the very end.
I was impressed by the rave reviews of other reviewers and gambled a credit. I did listen (albeit painfully) clear to the end. Yes, this story is demented. First half is somewhat boring, 2nd half has a little more action. Narration is too slow for my taste. Others may truly enjoy this book but the genre isn't one of my favorites.
I was taken aback by the story line. It was suspenseful and sad. I would not recommend it.
I don't think I would be willing to invest the amount of hours in this author's work. While it was well written and the style in the book was interesting. I don't like sad stories with no real good conclusion.
Avid Reader in TN
I believe the voices added a nice element to the story. Amy was especially "amazing".
I liked Detective Boney and Margo the best as they both seemed really interested in finding out the guilty culprit AND the most sane.
Julia Whelan did a fabulous job as Amy. Really brought her to life for me. Kirby was great as Nick, but I didn't enjoy his female voices as much.
Well, I was pretty upset about something close to the end, but by the last line, I had to laugh out loud!
At first I thought the book was great for any newlyweds because it shows how quickly a union that is not properly tended to can go from "You are the perfect match for me" to "how could I have EVER thought this person was for me?" in a couple of years. You can't get too comfortable in your happiness that you don't do the work required to keep it going. Communication is key. Once some of the extreme psychological twistedness came out, I found it a fascinating read on how some people's minds work! Scary stuff for sure!
I enjoyed the narration and also the story. It had many twists and turns and I was often quite surprised at where the book headed.
I liked once the book started to inform the reader what happened to "Gone Girl"
Suspense, Intrigue and Deception!
AFTER THE FIRST FEW CHAPTERS IT WAS HARD TO STOP.....
MOST, IF NOT ALL, OF THE CHARACTERS WERE DESPICABLE AND INCREDIBLY FLAWED HUMAN BEINGS......TO BE ABLE TO PAINT SUCH A PICTURE, THOUGH, IN WORDS, IS BRILLIANT.
IN HINDSIGHT, THE WHOLE BOOK. BUT, THE FIRST FEW CHAPTERS, NOT KNOWING WHAT EXACTLY WOULD HAPPEN LATER, WERE VERY SLOW.
YES, IT MADE ME CRINGE WITH DISGUST...ENTERTAINING DISGUST.
Great writing style, I liked how it really kept the reader guessing what the real story was without giving much away up front. Then revealing bits and pieces as it progresses to put the puzzle together. Unfortunately for me, the picture that came together in the end left me very unsatisfied. I know that is part of the draw of the book for many people, but for me it was a very unfulfilling end to the story. That's all I can say without spoilers.

Gamekeepers and grouse moor managers are supporting a petition to the Scottish Parliament urging a change in health policy to help fight tick-borne infections and limit the spread of Lyme disease.The Petitions Committee of the Scottish Parliament is considering a petition on 14 September calling for the Scottish Government to improve testing and treatment for Lyme Disease and associated tick-borne diseases by ensuring that medical professionals in Scotland are fully equipped to deal with the infections. The petition also recommends a public awareness campaign.
The plight of Lyme disease sufferers has been highlighted recently by former rugby international Matt Dawson who had to undergo heart surgery.
Gamekeepers and moorland managers are at the forefront of combating the number of ticks in the countryside.
The most common blood-sucking tick in the UK is the sheep tick (Ixodes ricinus) which can spread the louping-ill virus (LIV) and cause up to 80% mortality in red grouse chicks. This same species of infected tick can also transmit Lyme disease (Borrelia) to humans, dogs and horses.
Carrieanne Conaghan, coordinator of the Speyside Moorland Group, said: “It is important to carry out tick control – which includes sheep dipping and bracken spraying – as part of our wider moorland management practice. This not only benefits the grouse but additional bird species and reduces risk to members of the public enjoying the countryside. Moorland groups around Scotland fully support his petition as anyone who contracts Lyme disease can be severely affected.”
Lorraine Murray from Montrose was fit and healthy before she contracted Lyme disease from a tick bite while out walking her dog during the summer of 2014. She had been a physical fitness instructor for the British Army for eight years and after leaving the Army was still taking part in Olympic distance triathlons. She became unwell immediately after the tick bite and was barely able to leave her bed for 18 months.
Ms Murray said: “I just thought how on earth could this happen? How was it that I went from super active to seriously ill within months? I now spent most of the day in my bed, just myself and all my symptoms. It was a scary and lonely place. I would get up and get the kids out the door and go back to my bed.”
Ms Murray has now founded the Tick-Borne Illness Campaign Scotland to campaign for better treatment for Lyme disease and related infections.
The careful management of deer and hare numbers on Scottish grouse moors is also another technique used to control tick numbers and the spread of disease. Recent research undertaken by the University of Glasgow, in collaboration with Scottish Natural Heritage, the James Hutton Institute and Public Health England, found that if deer populations are managed alongside woodland regeneration projects, tick populations and the risk of Lyme disease can be reduced.
On an estate in the Speyside region, a recent tick control programme was implemented whereby the number of deer on the estate was reduced and sheep treatment was carried out on a flock of 2700 sheep. Throughout the programme, tick numbers were seen to drop from as high as 35 on a single grouse chick to between one and 10.
Dr Kathy Fletcher, an upland researcher with the Game and Wildlife Conservation Trust, said: “As part of our research into tick control on moorland, we have radio tagged grouse hens to allow us to follow how well they are breeding, monitor nests and check on chicks around 10 days old. This allows us to advise estate owners and workers on tick control methods specific to their needs. Reducing the number of hosts to stop adult ticks having their ‘big-blood’ feed in turn reduces the population size of the next generation and will minimise the spread of tick-related diseases.”
Under Scotland’s Moorland Forum, GWCT is working in close collaboration with other stakeholders on a new Tick Control work package. This new initiative, once complete, will form part of the Principles of Moorland Management (PoMM) programme which underpins best practice efforts of grouse moors. These aim to deliver the most pragmatic and sustainable outcomes for the future management of moorland.

LOUISVILE, Ky. - Churchill Downs is growing once again. Churchill Downs Incorporated (CDI) announced it has reached an agreement to buy Turfway Park in Florence, Kentucky from Jack Ohio, LLC and Hard Rock International for $46 million.
The closing of the agreement is subject to approval by the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission (KHRC). A meeting is scheduled for October 8 and if the change of control is approved, the deal is expected to close soon after.
If approved by the KHRC, the 2019-2020 winter racing meet at Turfway Park will take place on dates previously awarded to Turfway Park. Upon approval of the change of control, CDI will not pursue its previously announced New Latonia Racing and Gaming project in northern Kentucky and will withdraw its New Latonia race dates.
As soon as the closing takes place, CDI plans to demolish the existing grandstand at Turfway following the winter meet, clearing the way for a new state-of-the-art New Turfway Park, which could cost as much as $100 million.
“We are thrilled to welcome Turfway Park to the Churchill Downs racing family,” said Kevin Flanery, President of Churchill Downs Race Track. “Our team is poised to restore Turfway to its former glory, anchored by northern Kentucky’s first historical racing machine facility. The result will be a first-class racing product fueled by increased purses that keeps high-quality horses in Kentucky year-round and appeals to horseplayers nationwide.”
New Turfway Park is expected to employ 400 full and part-time positions and create an estimated 800 construction jobs. New Turfway Park will include 1,500 machines, a new clubhouse, food/beverage venues, and a new inner dirt track to complement the existing one-mile synthetic main track.


text: To assess whether gastrointestinal factors can cause chest pain ("linked angina"), we studied the effect of oesophageal stimulation with acid on coronary blood flow in 20 syndrome X patients. Coronary blood flow velocity (CBFV) was measured with an intracoronary doppler catheter positioned in the proximal left anterior descending coronary artery. Acid stimulation produced typical anginal pain in 11 patients. Mean CBFV was significantly reduced from 7.3 (SD 4.0) to 4.4 (2.8) cm/s. Gastro-oesophageal reflux leading to reduced coronary blood flow may be a mechanism to explain linked angina.

On 15 March 2019 an anti-Muslim terrorist attacked two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, killing 51 people and injuring 49. Christchurch is my hometown and I was quickly on the phone to family members, checking their locations, texting those in lockdown and watching with horror as the reality of what was happening unfolded before me. I thought of my APC colleagues in South Africa, India, Pakistan and elsewhere who have experience of these attacks in their communities and was determined to act in solidarity with the Muslim community and the wider New Zealand public in response to the attacks.
Our Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, moved quickly, in an outstanding display of leadership, travelling immediately to the Muslim communities affected, framing the attack as one on all New Zealanders, not only Muslim communities, vowing compassion, issuing a pledge to ban semi-automatic weapons of the kind used in the attack and steering her people through a difficult emotional time of grief, anger and shock.
This was the worst terrorist attack in New Zealand in the modern era and a key element of the attacker’s operation was to live stream the attacks on the internet. While Facebook took down the live stream of the attack in less than half an hour, the video had by then already been viewed thousands of times and shared on a wide variety of sites. Within hours of the attack the country’s Chief Censor had ruled the video objectionable, so that possessing or sharing it became illegal. Prosecutions for sharing the video were filed within days. However, in the weeks that followed, the video was still available.
In the days following the attack, Ardern was questioning the use of social media for live streaming. Several weeks later Ardern joined with the French prime minister to issue a global call for an end to the use of social media for acts of terrorism.
“The Christchurch Call” is a collaboration with the French government and a global call to a meeting in Paris next week, on 15 May 2019, which seeks to "bring together countries and tech companies in an attempt to bring to an end the ability to use social media to organise and promote terrorism and violent extremism."
Two months on from the attacks and in the week before this global event, it is plain that the internet has been used for good and bad in New Zealand. The internet has enabled support for and sharing of the massive public outpourings of grief. Tens of thousands of people attended rallies throughout the country to decry the attack, holding public Muslim prayer vigils to show support for Muslim communities, to grieve, to come together in acts of democratic solidarity and call for deeper examination and honesty about racism and religious intolerance. Those are positive, if painful, conversations and the internet seemed, at first, to be enabling “a rare national unity, born out of revulsion with what had taken place.” But there was also a different element where the internet was used to spread misinformation about the attack, to confuse or misinform about the proposed gun law reform, and a host of expressly racist and Islamophobic groups were set up on Facebook and other platforms.
Having worked on internet rights for the last 10 years, I understand the complexities of promoting and protecting human rights and the technical difficulties of online content regulation. I support and have advocated strongly for both an open and uncapturable internet and for human rights online. Regulation of online content is fraught with problems including how to ensure lawful content (such as evidence of war crimes) is not affected by definitions of "terrorist" content. However, the international human rights standards provide a framework for balancing these different rights. At the same time, hard questions must be asked of whether the multistakeholder cooperation processes which work to create agreed norms at the technical DNS layers of the internet, are really working in the social media environment. Technical community members are pointing out that this cooperative norm-making process does not happen on social networks and, in its absence, regulation has now arrived as the only realistic option.
The local New Zealand internet community has been working hard to deal with issues, determine how best to engage with government and create spaces for community discussions. This week InternetNZ launched a forum for civil society and the technical community to participate in the lead-up to the meeting in Paris to support these discussions. The forum is open to all interested civil society and technical community members in New Zealand, and globally, for discussion and coordination. A meeting, Voices for Action, will take place in Paris on 14 May, where Ardern will meet with civil society leaders who are preparing a joint statement with the technical community.
Globally, civil society commentators are worried about the lack of adequate civil society engagement but are still supporting involvement. Some commentators have also criticised the lack of involvement of platform providers from Asia and it remains to be seen if any will participate.
Yet despite its short notice and rapid preparations, this meeting is an opportunity for internet rights activists to help develop options for better protecting human rights online and preventing the spread of extremist terrorist content. In doing so, we have a unique opportunity to ensure governments and other stakeholders show the leadership that has been asked of them to ensure the same human rights we have offline are respected and protected online.

A: There's no specific answer for this question, as it is dependent on many factors. However, you may be able to spot improvements right away. In a study that tested the ketogenic diet on obese people, researchers noted that after 24 weeks, the test subjects lost around 14 kilograms (30.8 pounds) of excess weight, going from an average 101.03 kilograms to 86.67 kilograms (222.7 pounds to 191 pounds).67
And good news for coffee addicts: you can still have your morning cup of joe. You’ll just need to adjust what you stir into it. Switch out flavored creamer for the real deal—full-fat heavy whipping cream, which has only 1 gram of carbs per tablespoon. If you want to give your java a jolt of sweet, stir in a low-carb sweetener that uses sugar alcohols. But if you can skip the sweet, even better. In time, you’ll retrain your palate to not crave a sugary start to the day.
Clinical improvement was observed in Alzheimer’s patients fed a ketogenic diet, and this was marked by improved mitochondrial function. (14a) In fact, a European Journal of Clinical Nutrition study pointed to emerging data that suggested the therapeutic use of ketogenic diets for multiple neurological disorders beyond epilepsy and Alzheimer’s, including headaches, neurotrauma, Parkinson’s disease, sleep disorders, brain cancer, autism and multiple sclerosis. (14b)
The recipes themselves are divided into smoothies and breakfasts, appetizers and snacks, fish and poultry, meats, veggies and sides, desserts, and staples. Each individual recipe gives an overall "keto quotient" (how close it fits the idea balance of fats, carbs, and protein) as well as what each serving contains in calories and the fats, carbs, and protein for those servings. This makes life a lot easier if you are using a phone or tablet app to keep an eating record.
• Reducing appetite — Constant hunger can cause you to consume more calories than you can burn, which can eventually lead to weight gain. A ketogenic diet can help you avoid this problem because reducing carbohydrate consumption can reduce hunger symptoms. In one study, participants who were given a low-carbohydrate diet had reduced appetites, helping them lose weight easier.2
• Water Loss: There is some evidence that higher-protein diets like the keto diet do have some weight-loss benefits, partially because both fat and protein are satiating so you don't feel hungry, but also because of the loss in glycogen stores. Glycogen is the body's glucose storage that is bound up with water, so when we deplete the glycogen, you also deplete your water storage. Lose a ton of water, and you're going to drop weight fast.
Another third tip is snacking. Really important if you’re a snacker and you are just starting your Ketogenic diet you’ll probably need some form of snacks. Some of the best snacks for beginners include celery, nuts and nut-based hummus, cucumber. If you have more of a sweet-tooth, dark unsweetened chocolate is a great option, as is coconut or almond butter or even peanut butter.
There are two major ways fasting is beneficial for overall health. First, it gives the body a break from digestion. Digestion is a surprisingly stressful activity, and if there is a longer period of time where your body can focus on simply using the nutrients it’s been given already without having to handle more, digestion tends to improve, as well as energy levels.

"Long-term effects of a ketogenic diet in obese patients"
In some ways, it’s similar to the Atkins diet, which similarly boosts the body’s fat-burning abilities through eating only low-carb foods, along with getting rid of foods high in carbs and sugar. Removing glucose from carbohydrate foods will cause the body to burn fat for energy instead. The major differences between the classic keto diet and the Atkins diet is ketogenic emphasizes healthier fats, less overall protein and no processed meat (such as bacon) while having more research to back up its efficacy.
Your glycogen stores can still be refilled while on a ketogenic diet. A keto diet is an excellent way to build muscle, but protein intake is crucial here. It’s suggested that if you are looking to gain mass, you should be taking in about 1.0 – 1.2g protein per lean pound of body mass. Putting muscle on may be slower on a ketogenic diet, but that’s because your total body fat is not increasing as much.5Note that in the beginning of a ketogenic diet, both endurance athletes and obese individuals see a physical performance for the first week of transition.
“Your liver produces ketones all the time, but the rate depends on carbohydrate and protein intake,” says Jeff Volek, Ph.D., R.D., a professor of human sciences at Ohio State University. When the majority of your diet is made up of of carbs and protein, ketogenesis slows. Replacing carbs and protein with fat will put your body into ketosis, thus ramping up ketone production. This takes about three days to induce.
I’m honestly a little skeptical about it the idea of keto permanently. My brief glance at the literature seems to imply that it can have side effects of kidney stones, skeletal fractures, and slow the growth rate of children, but that was a study on kids with epilepsy (which it treated very effectively), so who knows how that applies to adults. And the other studies I found dealt with overweight and obese subjects, so it may be hard to find something on the long term effects on otherwise healthy adults.
LCHF is a plan that is very similar to an Atkins approach, but the focus is placed on the higher ingestion of fats, and a perpetual restriction of carbohydrates to less than 20 grams per day, and in some cases nearly 0 grams a day are consumed. There is no specific restriction of artificial or manufactured foods, only that the fat is kept higher, around 70%-85% of the diet.
Rami co-founded Tasteaholics with Vicky at the start of 2015 to master the art of creating extremely delicious food while researching the truth behind nutrition, dieting and overall health. You can usually find him marketing, coding or coming up with the next crazy idea because he can’t sit still for too long. His favorite book is The 4-Hour Workweek and artist is Infected Mushroom.
There are reasons a strange diet like this has stuck around since the 1920's. A diet like keto that is low in sugar lowers blood glucose and insulin levels has several positive effects on the body, especially in overweight or obese people. The ketogenic diet gives your body the chance to re-adjust its glucose and insulin levels. In addition, there are health benefits that will enhance daily life, as well as help treat disease. Check out these benefits of the ketogenic diet:
The Keto Fit Diet is a scientifically designed program designed to improve your quality of life as effectively as possible. It is a lifestyle change that you will soon realize the incredible benefits of. While the Keto Fit diet is designed to help you lose weight within just a few short weeks, you will notice exponential benefits the longer you follow the program.
The ketogenic, or "keto," diet — which first became popular in the 1920s as a treatment for epilepsy and diabetes— limits carbohydrates to no more than 50 grams a day, which is the rough equivalent of a plain bagel or a cup of white rice. By comparison, dietary guidelines from the US Department of Agriculture recommend from 225 to 325 grams of carbs a day.
Although studies have shown that the keto diet can reduce seizures for children with epilepsy, there is no evidence indicating that keto helps with other brain disorders or improves mental cognition, according to Harvard Health Publishing. Some studies show that keto may lower blood sugar for people with type 2 diabetes, but there is not enough long-term research to determine whether it’s safe and effective for diabetics.
Ketogenic diets, like most low carb diets, work through the elimination of glucose. Because most folks live on a high carb diet, our bodies normally run on glucose (or sugar) for energy. We cannot make glucose and only have about 24 hours’ worth stored in our muscle tissue and liver. Once glucose is no longer available from food sources, we begin to burn stored fat instead, or fat from our diets.
KetoVale‘s Tip: Exogenous ketones are NOT a magic pill or a carb blocker. You should be making better choices about your diet meal plan first and then ask yourself if you want to or how you can supplement afterward to help out. Remember it’s a supplement and not supposed to be used as an eraser to erase eating choices (by definition, supplement is a thing added to something else in order to complete or enhance it). It’s like building muscles, you can take supplements, but if you don’t workout and eat right, the muscles won’t show up. The supplements aren’t going to lift those heavy weights for you. There’s no magic bullet.
The Ketogenic Diet is unlike any other diet in the world in that it utilizes a high fat, minimal carbohydrate and moderate protein system in order to reset your body’s ability to burn unwanted, stored fat. By restricting carbohydrates that are converted into glucose, you begin the journey to re-program your metabolism to start burning stored fats for fuel and energy instead of first burning beneficial glycogen that is stored in your muscles.
• Potassium: With the approved list of foods being so brief, you might not be getting in enough fruits and veggies on keto. One of the biggest impacts? A potassium deficiency—and all of the lovely constipation and muscle cramps that accompanies it. Aim to up your intake of foods like spinach, avocado, tomatoes, kale and mushrooms to get your potassium fix.
If you’re new to the keto diet or just still learning the ropes, your biggest questions probably revolve around figuring out just what high-fat low-carb foods you can eat on such a low-carb, ketogenic diet. Overall, remember that the bulk of calories on the keto diet are from foods that are high in natural fats along with a moderate amount of foods with protein. Those that are severely restricted are all foods that provide lots of carbs, even kinds that are normally thought of as “healthy,” like whole grains, for example.
The keto diet (also known as ketogenic diet, low carb diet and LCHF diet) is a low carbohydrate, high fat diet. Maintaining this diet is a great tool for weight loss. More importantly though, according to an increasing number of studies, it helps reduce risk factors for diabetes, heart diseases, stroke, Alzheimer’s, epilepsy, and more1-6.On the keto diet, your body enters a metabolic state called ketosis. While in ketosis your body is using ketone bodies for energy instead of glucose. Ketone bodies are derived from fat and are a much more stable, steady source of energy than glucose, which is derived from carbohydrates.
Recipes include items like homemade salad dressings and mayonnaise in a good keto balance. Since I'm eating a lot more salad this has been handy to have. I also thought I would miss sweets but I've been using the book to make snacks with stevia products. There are some chocolate recipes using cocoa powder and oils that help stifle any chocolate cravings. The oils often melt at a little above room temperature so I put chocolate pieces in bags in the freezer and granola in the fridge in snack bags.
There are so many vegetables that you can use, and so many ways to prepare them, that an entire book could be written on the topic. Most vegetables that grow above the ground are high in fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They can be added to meat dishes, cooked on their own, or eaten as a salad. Vegetables are inexpensive, easy to prepare, and can be part of every meal. Most of them are quite low in carbohydrates, so it’s hard to overindulge in this food group.
Here’s the Knowledge Stage analogy: Say we are hungry and want to go out to eat. It wouldn’t make much sense to sprint to the nearest restaurant, right? Wouldn’t we be better served to take the few minutes to learn about what’s available, and then make a plan? Yes, we would take the time to Yelp or ask a friend for some knowledge and use that information to decide where we want to go.
That said, I think the biggest changes are the result of me dropping the sugars and breads. Tracking my eating and being more conscious about my foods has made a difference. I definitely plan to keep on this track for a while and slowly work towards a fuller keto-adapted diet/body. I’m not going with the “all-in” that some recommend, cutting out all artificial sweeteners and such, though I have limited them. I’m not really tempted to indulge in the sweets that have been tempting in the past.

Fright-Rags launches pre-orders on 4 demonic designs from The Exorcist III
Pre-orders available now: http://bit.ly/1zMl3tl
The Exorcist is often cited as one of the greatest horror films of all time, but many fans were just as disturbed by The Exorcist III. William Peter Blatty’s criminally-overlooked 1990 film is finally being given its due with four new shirts from Fright-Rags.
Fright-Rags is offering a pair of limited edition designs from Justin Osbourn (limited to 500) and Christopher Lovell (limited to 300). Both are available on unisex shirts and girls shirts. The collection also includes the first printing of two more T-shirts: Coki Greenway’s depiction of a scene from the finale and Jeff Zornow’s capturing of one of the film’s most terrifying moments.
All four demonic designs are now available for pre-order at Fright-Rags.com, with products expected to ship in early December. These items may sell out during the pre-order period, so don’t miss your chance to possess them.
In case you missed it, Fright-Rags’ The Terminator 30th anniversary collection is still available for pre-order, along with designs from dozens of other genre favorites.
Here Are The Images Below –
Truly, this is an under appreciated gem of a movie. Ordering mine now. Thanks for the heads up, Vic! 😀
Of course! Glad you are ordering a Tee! The Exorcist III is a woefully over-looked film. It has so many genuinely creepy moments with a good cast and nice performances. A shame Blatty never took off as a director.
Thanks for checking in!
Exorcist III is so often overlooked, a very underrated film, there are some really scary moments in it. Great T–Shirt designs as well 😀
It is indeed, Paul. For some reason the movie has gotten a bad rap for just being a sequel and coming in third in the franchise.
It is under-appreciated in many regards and it really deserves a better legacy than what it has garnered.
Thanks for stopping by, Paul! I will be sure to catch up on your page very soon!

text: Tokyo stocks rose for the third straight trading day on Monday, sending a key index to the highest closing level in six months following Friday's gain on Wall Street. The benchmark Nikkei 225 Stock Average on the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE) gained 237.41 points, or 1.54 percent, from Friday to 15,619.13, its highest closing since May 22. The broader Tokyo Stock Price Index, which includes all shares on the market's First Section on the TSE, was also up 11.04 points, or 0.88 percent, to 1,259.61, with 31 of 33 subindexes ending in positive territory. On Friday, the Dow Jones industrial average ended with a new record above 16,000, while the the broader SP 500 recorded its first close above 1,800 after encouraging news on the job market. The yen's depreciation against the US dollar and the euro also prompted investors to buy export-oriented issues in Tokyo. The weak yen supports exports by making Japanese products more competitive overseas and increase the value of repatriated overseas earning. In the currency market, at 4:40 p.m. (0740GMT), the US dollar traded at around a six-month high of JPY101.82-84 against JPY 101.15-25 in New York and JPY 100.99-101.01 in Tokyo at 5 p.m. Friday.

We may not have seen a white Christmas – or even much of a cold one – this year, but a cold front has brought familiar winter temperatures and a wintry mix to parts of Green Country.
Areas of light snow will continue to fall Saturday over much of northeast Oklahoma, with heavier bands to the west and north of the Tulsa area.
Residents can expect areas north and west of Tulsa can expect one to three inches along the elevated grassy surfaces, according to meteorologist Tom Bennett. Travel could be slick in spots.
Viewers in in many areas including Bartlesville, Skiatook, Chelsea, Glenpool, Vinita, Dewey, Kellyville, Barnsdall, Verdigris, Prue and Mannford have all reported snow.
According to News On 6 Meteorologist, Dick Faurot, highs are expected in the upper 30s or lower 40s with a brisk northwest wind to make it feel even colder.
While skies are expected to clear some Saturday evening, Sunday should have some sunshine but cold to go with it. Highs are again expected in the 40s with a light north breeze.
The start of next week should warm up some with temperatures reaching the upper 40s Monday.
That, however, will be followed by a New Year's cold front where Faurot says temperatures might struggle to get above freezing.
So if you're going out to ring in the New Year, you might want to wear a few extra layers.

Sydney Bollinger says Dead Seas is a comic that brings a fresh take to common horror tropes.
Someone is always bringing new ideas and creativity to classic horror stories and tropes. Written by best-selling author Cavan Scott (Star Wars: The High Republic) with art by Nick Brokenshire (Star Wars Adventures), this new six-issue mini series from IDW Originals tells the story of a convict who finds himself on a ghost ship. Ghosts are real and dangerous — their ectoplasm is capable of curing countless diseases. There’s only one problem: harvesting the wonder drug can be just as deadly. Prisoner Gus Ortiz is willing to take the risk in return for a reduced sentence—anything to see his daughter again.
The first issue introduces Dead Seas major characters, how the “mechanics” of the ghosts function, and sets up the major conflicts and tensions in the series. The first issue opens with narration from Natty, a young girl who witnesses her parents arguing. Three years later, the issue changes perspective to Natty’s father, a convict named Gus, who is aboard a helicopter headed to the Perdition, a ship owned by Barrico Industries. The company hires prisoners to work on the ship with supernatural beings.
Scott and Brokenshire create lore for ghosts that provides a fresh look into past ghost-hunting stories. Here, the ectoplasm is a valuable resource collected by the hired prisoners. This setup also sheds light on the inhumane treatment and forced labor of prisoners, who often take on harrowing assignments because it means there is a chance for a lesser sentence. In doing this, Dead Seas sets up the ghosts as an allegory for “real world” issues, leaning on horror’s unparalleled power to be a mirror of the human experience.
The art style in Dead Seas only emphasizes the delicate balance of serious themes with the idea of an ectoplasm-extraction company. Brokenshire leans into the gritty, utilizing bright colors to bring attention to certain characters or events. One character, in particular, the daughter of the owner of Barrico Industries, always stands out. Her presence is known so intimately during the reading experience she acts as a beacon — unlike the rest of the characters and scenes, she stands out as being visually bright, which points towards her innocence as she learns what happens in her father’s company.
As a first issue, Scott and Brokenshire are working to set up each of the characters and their relationships with one another. The only downside is that the issue is short (coming in at a little over 20 pages), so it’s hard to really dig into and get to know each of the characters and understand how they are and will be connected. In particular, the issue starts with Natty, three years prior to the events of the story, but after her short bit, we jump to the perspective of a different character — her father. The result feels a bit disjointed and leaves the reader wanting more, especially wanting to know what happened to Natty and why the perspective shifted so suddenly. In future issues, hopefully, the story jumps back to Natty and we can get her perspective, especially as she was also set up with what seems will be a useful connection to the supernatural.
For readers interested in the horror elements — and being scared — issue one does not deliver heart-racing frights, but it does set the stage for more to happen regarding ghosts and ectoplasms. The issue ends on a cliffhanger sure to bring more drama and intrigue to the story, which could definitely heighten the scares. Despite this, Scott and Brokenshire’s use of horror as allegory is reminiscent of iconic director Mike Flanagan, who uses the elements of horror to tell stories of familial heartbreak and what it means to die.
The first issue was a fantastic start to the Dead Seas mini-series and is perfect for readers interested in how Scott and Brokenshire have developed this world of ectoplasm resource extraction that mirrors our own. The first issue was short and sweet, making it a nice quick read that highlights the depth of horror as a genre.
Dead Seas is releasing on December 21, 2023.

NeoCOV: No threat to humans unless it mutates, everything else is 'hype', says COVID task force member
The concise of the study is that if NeoCoV picks up a certain mutation, it could use the same pathway to infect humans as the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
- Wuhan scientists warn the world about the potential risk of NeoCOV.
- The World Health Organization on Friday said that the NeoCov coronavirus, discovered by Chinese scientists, requires further study.
- While these can identify insights for where to look for threats, it is important to remember these are hypotheticals.
There have been multiple reports on the new coronavirus which points that the virus is highly transmissible and lethal to humans. The original Sputnik report, spoke of two coronaviruses, NeoCoV and PDF-2180-CoV that researchers from China said were like the Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome (Mers) coronavirus. A team of Wuhan researchers found a new kind of coronavirus, NeoCov, among bats in South Africa. In a study, the researchers said that the virus may pose a threat to humans in the future.
Their lab studies showed that if NeoCoV picks up a certain mutation, it could use the same pathway to infect humans as the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The focus of the study is based on a simple premise: If NeoCoV picks up a particular mutation, can it become a larger threat?
It is important to understand the nature of such studies. Virologists around the world explore multiple theories and test them using certain assumptions, engineered pathogens and modified cells made to represent a certain attribute or the other.
While these can identify insights for where to look for threats, it is important to remember these are hypotheticals. And the fact that this paper is yet to be peer-reviewed makes it even more tentative since the assumptions, methods and conclusions can only be tested for robustness by other scientists.
WHO says it requires further study
The World Health Organization on Friday said that the NeoCov coronavirus, discovered by Chinese scientists, requires further study.
Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that can cause diseases ranging from the common cold to Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). The WHO said that it is aware of the development, but the virus requires further study to ascertain if it poses a risk to humans.
"Whether the virus detected in the study will pose a risk for humans will require further study," the health body was quoted as saying by Russian news agency TASS. The organisation said that the source of 75 per cent of infectious diseases in humans was wild animals. "Coronaviruses are often found in animals, including in bats which have been identified as a natural reservoir of many of these viruses," the global body said.
It said it is working actively to tackle such emerging zoonotic viruses.
COVID task member clears the air
Dr Shashank Joshi, a Maharashtra COVID task member tweeted that NeoCOV is not a threat to the human body yet. He said NeoCOV is not a new virus. He added, "NeoCOV can use ace2 receptors of bats but they can't use human ace2 receptors unless a new mutation occurs. Everything else is hype."
The researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Wuhan University who have brought NeoCov to the notice of the world also said that in the current form, NeoCov does not infect humans., It may become potentially harmful if there are further mutations.

Aoun meets with Irinej: We are working to maintain balance, especially as war in the region aims to eliminate large groups, cause disruption
NNA – President of the Republic, Michel Aoun, stressed Thursday on the deep relations linking Lebanon and Serbia together and the similar sufferings of both the Lebanese and Serbian peoples, hailing the efforts undertaken to further boost and strengthen the friendship and solidarity ties between both countries.
“In Lebanon we are living together, Christians and Muslims, and as Christians we are always working to maintain balance especially in wake of our difficult circumstances resulting from the war in the region, which aims at the elimination of large groups and the destruction of entire areas,” Aoun affirmed.
The President’s words came during his meeting at Baabda Presidential Palace this afternoon with the Patriarch of the Serbian Orthodox Church, Irinej (Gavrilovic), accompanied by Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Antioch and All the East, John X Yaziji, and a delegation of prominent religious clerics. Also attending was State Minister for Presidential Affairs Selim Jreissati, National Defense Minister Elias Bou Saab and Justice Minister Albert Serhan.
“Our Christian teachings only carry us to spread love and kindness among people,” said Aoun. “Those who read the Gospel and the Epistles of St. Paul cannot but achieve this universal message among various sects and religions,” he maintained.
“There are neither any boundaries nor barriers between Christians. It is true that there are different Christian doctrines, cultures, customs and traditions, but there is only one Christ and one Bible, and the law of love is solely capable of establishing peace and justice across the world,” the President emphasized.
In turn, Irinej thanked the President for his warm reception and kind words. “We have come for a visit of peace, such peace to which we look forward together, one that the whole world yearns for,” he said.
“There is nothing more wonderful than having the same people live together as brothers, for this is the most joyous act because the Lord asked us to live in peace as brethrens with all communities,” the Patriarch added. He regretted to see that human beings today are doing their utmost to distance themselves from real peace, which has triggered so many problems and increased pain.
“Our homeland has passed through difficult times and wars similar to those witnessed in Lebanon. But hope remains to overcome and forget the wounds of the past, and to look forward to building peace in our nation and in all countries of the world,” the Serbian Patriarch emphasized.
“It is my second visit to your beautiful country…The Lord has given you a home for joy, and the fulfillment of joy depends on man,” said Irinej. “I am carrying a message of love and peace from the Serbian people, and we are eager to consolidate the relations between our two peoples, hoping that you would visit our homeland since our people harbor the best feelings of friendship and affection for the Lebanese and Syrian peoples for many years,” he assured.
The Serbian Patriarch confirmed the importance of working for peace and putting an end to wars, stressing that pursuing wars will only lead to the destruction and annihilation of humanity.
For his part, Patriarch Yaziji highlighted the importance of Patriarch Irinej’s visit to both Lebanon and Syria, particularly under these difficult circumstances.
He underlined the importance of the close relations between the two Orthodox Churches in Antioch and Serbia. “The Serbian people have suffered as much as we have, and we continue to deepen our understanding of each other as a result of similar circumstances,” Yaziji added.
At the end of the encounter, the Patriarch of Serbia offered President Aoun the Patriarchate’s emblem and an album about Serbia while Aoun, in turn, presented him with a souvenir gift token from Lebanon.


After the next-gen Galaxy S7, S7 edge, and Galaxy Note 7, we’re also waiting for the impending arrival of the Galaxy A8 and the next Galaxy C phone. The last pair introduced was the metal-clad Galaxy C5 and the bigger Galaxy C7 introduced last May. The C5 and C7 are mid-range phones with premium look and feel as made possible by the metal design. Specs of the Galaxy C phones are good enough so we’re expecting the next C to be better.
Samsung is said to be preparing the Galaxy C9. It’s from the new Galaxy C line that boasts of a metal design plus good-enough specs. The phone is known this early as “Amy”. It’s only a codename for the Galaxy C9 model SM-C9000. This information is from some reliable resources who claim to know a lot about Samsung.
The Galaxy C9 may be more similar to the Galaxy C5 than the C7. Since the C5 has a 5.2-inch screen, S617 chipset, 4GB RAM, and 32GB built-in storage, the upcoming C9 may have the same design but with some improvements like a bigger screen–maybe 6-inches. Samsung may retain the 4GB RAM and 32GB internal storage because they are already high for a mid-range device but the processor could still be changed.
If you may remember that before the Galaxy C5 and Galaxy C7 were officially announced, we reported several leaks and sightings so we’re expecting similar information will be published before the public launch. Interestingly, this SM-C9000 was seen listed on Zauba. The Indian import tracker is usually a source for new phones being tested and are about to be unveiled. Not much details were written but only the 5.7-inch description so we’ll see.
