At Harvest Church in Charlotte, there are baskets of kindness in front of the church every day.
For the past two months, the church has set out buggies curbside at the church for anyone to come pick up food or donate food.
“This is kind of on the honor system. You can give as you feel and take as you need,” said Tom Chidester, pastor at Harvest Church. “We’ve had people come who’ve had nothing in their cabinets and we just tell them you just help yourselves.”
At the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, Harvest Church members saw the growing need to address food insecurity in Charlotte.
The answer to the problem seemed to be a simple one. Anyone can donate food at the buggies, and anyone can pick up food at the buggies.
“In fact, one lady called who had no food. I said ‘well we have nearly a whole buggy. Won't you come get the whole buggy?’ We believe someone else is going to come and fill it back up,” Chidester said.
The buggies are accessible 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
With children missing school meals, seniors being asked to stay safely in their homes, those in need of food who are quarantined and employees in our community being impacted by reduced work hours, food insecurity is growing every day.
“I just believe according to scripture we’re not blessed just to be blessed,” he said “We’re blessed to be a blessing. That’s just the way we kind of share the gospel.”
Harvest Church was established in 1976 by Chidester’s parents, Ed and Joann Chidester. Tom Chidester is a third-generation minister.
“When people are hungry, we feed them. When they have a need, we should try to fulfill it as best as we can,” he said.
Food donations can be made at the church which is located at 7429 Tuckaseegee Rd.

Omega-3s May Help Reduce Progression of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is characterized by the build-up of fat in the liver of people who drink very little or no alcohol and can be a complication of metabolic syndrome. A recent study suggests that eating more long-chain omega-3 fatty acids may help reduce the progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
For this study, researchers analyzed data from 18 studies in which the independent effects of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids could be isolated. The researchers found that NAFLD was present in 42.6% of adults with diabetes in the UK and in 69.5% of adults with diabetes in Italy. They found a range in children from 2% to 12.5%, with a higher range in obese children, 36% of whom in Germany had NAFLD and 44% of whom in Italy had NAFLD.
Supplementation with omega-3’s was associated with statistically significant improvements in six of 13 metabolic risk factors, in levels of two of three liver enzymes, in liver fat content, and in steatosis score.
The researchers found that the minimum effective daily intake to be 250 mg of DHA in pediatric patients and 3 grams of EPA and DHA in adults.
Researchers from Intertek Scientific & Regulatory Consultancy in Canada led the study. It was published on August 1, 2018, in Nutrition Reviews.
Because omega-3 fatty-acids are not found naturally in the human body, it is especially important to make sure that they are a part of your daily diet. Oily, dark fish such as tuna and salmon are high in omega-3s. For people who don’t like fish, consider taking a daily high-quality non-fish supplement that has been tested for purity and potency.

very good product, my dog's breath is a lot fresher
Recommended by Vet to aid our dental control of our rescue greyhound alongside toothpaste brushing. It keeps the teeth free from plaque.
Love this stuff! Before I could take my whippet to the vets to have her teeth sorted properly this really helped with her stinky breath. Even better, now that she's had her bad teeth removed and a professional clean it's really helping to keep her gums in great shape too!
Very effective. My dog's bad breath is greatly reduced and - despite bad plaque - his gums are in excellent condition.
I buy this regularly for my cat and the vet has noticed that her teeth and gums are in very good condition for her age :)
Been using this on my 12 year old Westie for the past month and what a difference it has made!
I didnt think these things actually work, my rescue dog has had severe bad breath for years and allsort of meds havent shifted it but this really does take the bad breath away within 24 hours. Trouble is I need a large bottle as I have 6 dogs who love this and I go through a bottle every 5 days. Highly recommended
Have been using this product for about a year and would definitely recommend. Seen a great improvement in the freshness of my 11 year old Lab's breath plus at his last check up the vet commented that he had no gum disease.
Both my cats had dental problems when they were 3 years old and had to have veterinary treatment. My vet recommended this product as part of their dental regime but it was very expensive from them. I frequently use this website and was very pleased to find it here at a much cheaper price. The cats still drink their water as usual so it doesn't affect the taste. Their teeth have been in good condition when the vet has checked since. Thanks VetUK!
This product is excellent. Used this to keep my Bearded Collie's teeth clean after having dental treatment and my Chihuahua also drinks the same water. Have had no problems getting the dogs to drink the water containing this rinse. The vet has even commented that my Chi's teeth are in amazingly good condition through using the rinse. It has definitely helped prevent any problems so far.

Bagan (or Pagan) is an ancient city that was the capital of the first Burmese empire. It is a fairy-tale land drowning in ancient crumbling temples mostly from the 11 to 13 centuries A.D., golden pagodas, and dirt paths winding around the scrub-like greenery. It is located in the dry central plains of the country, on the eastern bank of the Irrawaddy River. There are more than 2,000 pagodas and temples to be found, most of which were built by the ancient kings and leaders of Burma.
Pagan’s importance lies in its heritage rather than its present. It was first built probably in AD 849 and. from the 11th century to the end of the 13th. was the capital of a region roughly the size of modern Myanmar. In 1287 it was overrun by the Mongols during their wide-ranging conquests. and it never recovered its position. though a little desultory building continued on Buddhist shrines.
Among these pagodas. there are four most famous pagodas which has the special features as follows:
Dhu = Dhammayan (The thickest)
Nyan = Thabinnyu (The Omniscient)
Anu = Ananda (The most sculptural)
Thakho = Shwezigon (The most powerful)
The old pagan was a walled city. The western flank on the Ayeyarwaddy rests. It was the center of a network of highways through which its rules could command a large region of fertile plains and could dominate other important Myanmar dynastic cities, Like Pegu. From the port of Thiripyissaya. Down in the river, Important foreign trade conducted with India, Ceylon, And other parts of Southeast Asia. The walls of the old town. Within of which is a substantial area of the modern city. Probably originally, it contained only real, aristocratic, religious, And administrative building. It is believed that the population lived in households very similar to those occupied by the current residents of lightweight construction.
Between 500 and 950 people in the Burman ethnic group was infiltrated from the north in a region infiltrated by other peoples; These people had already converted to the religion of India. Above all Buddhism Mahayana in Bihar and Bengal. Under King Anawrahta (ruled 1044-1077). The burmanes ethnic finally conquered the other peoples of the region. Including a city called Monday. These were formerly dominant in the south. They transported the mon royal family and scientists and craftsmen to Pagan. Become the capital and the center of an official. Fundamentalist Hinayana Buddhism (Theravada) adopted by Ceylon (Sri Lanka). Around 1056 this initiated the period of heathen size. At first held by artistic traditions of Mo. The great number of monasteries and built and maintained for the next 200 years pilgrimage church was possible, both by the great wealth of the royal treasure and the great number of slaves. Learned and unskilled. Whose working life was dedicated to the support of individual organs. The city became one of the most important centers of Buddhist learning.

The public prosecutor’s office is investigating suspected negligent homicide after a fire in Alsace. It is possible that regulations were not followed. This intensifies the indications of security deficiencies.
After the fire in a holiday home in Alsace that killed eleven, the public prosecutor’s office launched an investigation into suspected negligent homicide and negligent bodily harm. The public prosecutor’s office in Paris said that certain safety regulations may not have been complied with. The cause of the fire must first be determined.
Because of the scope of the investigation and because the victims came from all over France, it is not the local authority that is dealing with the case, but a special unit in Paris.
On Wednesday morning around 6.30 a.m. there was a fire in the holiday accommodation in Wintzenheim, about 50 kilometers from Freiburg. At the time, two groups of people with mild intellectual disabilities were staying in the house. 17 people were able to save themselves, one of them was injured. Eleven people died. According to media reports, ten of the victims came from Lorraine in eastern France, and one victim came from Alsace.
doubt sth safety precautions
French media recently reported that the accommodation in Wintzenheim may not have had sufficient or the right fire alarm. According to the French authorities, establishments that receive guests are themselves responsible for complying with safety rules. This is verified by various controls. Wintzenheim Deputy Mayor Daniel Leroy said the building was still registered for agricultural purposes and should not have received guests.
Investigators are currently assuming that there was a smoldering fire. The accommodation consists partly of half-timbering, it said. The wood probably only really caught fire after a few hours. About 300 square meters out of 500 burned.

Vail candidate questionnaire: Stephen Connolly
Vail, CO Colorado
Q: Why are you running for Vail Town Council?
A: Vail is my home and I care about what happens here. I bring a skill set and critical thought process that the town could use. It is my civic duty to run.
Q: What are the biggest issues facing Vail right now?
A: Ever Vail, Timber Ridge and parking.
Q: How would you rate the work the current Town Council has done? What are some specific examples of what it has done right and/or wrong?
A: Overall, the current Town Council has done a good job. The work done with town staff on the financial front is a good example of their effectiveness. They could have done a better job handling the process for the vote on the conference center funds.
Q: Do you generally support Vail Resorts’ proposed Ever Vail project? Why or why not?
A: I do support Ever Vail. It will eventually happen and we need to make sure it is done in a way that is best for the community.
Q: Ask and answer your own question that will help voters decide how to vote.
A: Paper or plastic? This was a question asked at a candidates’ forum six or eight years ago. I don’t think that anyone got it right. The correct answer was, and is, “neither.” We need to step up our commitment to all things environmental. Too many people are not taking the “Reduce, Reuse and Recycle” mantra to heart. Our economy depends on a healthy planet. We need to start by raising the awareness in our young people. Think globally and act locally.

Throughout much of the twentieth century, Mexican Americans experienced segregation in many areas of public life, but the structure of Mexican segregation differed from the strict racial divides of the Jim Crow South. Factors such as higher socioeconomic status, lighter skin color, and Anglo cultural fluency allowed some Mexican Americans to gain limited access to the Anglo power structure. Paradoxically, however, this partial assimilation made full desegregation more difficult for the rest of the Mexican American community, which continued to experience informal segregation long after federal and state laws officially ended the practice.
In this historical ethnography, Jennifer R. Nájera offers a layered rendering and analysis of Mexican segregation in a South Texas community in the first half of the twentieth century. Using oral histories and local archives, she brings to life Mexican origin peoples' experiences with segregation. Through their stories and supporting documentary evidence, Nájera shows how the ambiguous racial status of Mexican origin people allowed some of them to be exceptions to the rule of Anglo racial dominance. She demonstrates that while such exceptionality might suggest the permeability of the color line, in fact the selective and limited incorporation of Mexicans into Anglo society actually reinforced segregation by creating an illusion that the community had been integrated and no further changes were needed. Nájera also reveals how the actions of everyday people ultimately challenged racial/racist ideologies and created meaningful spaces for Mexicans in spheres historically dominated by Angl

Not prolonged ago we became preoccupied by Strandbeests. These extraordinary walking machines are a brainchild of Dutch artist Theo Jansen, who has been conceptualizing and perfecting staggering scale versions for a past 25 years. By all means revisit Theo’s website to watch his enthralling videos. I found out about Strandbeests – Dutch for “beach animals” by one of Adam Savage’s interesting One Day Build YouTube videos, and we couldn’t wait to build one of my own. It turns out that kits can be purchased on eBay for usually a few dollars, so we squandered no time in building a integrate of them.
The elementary Strandbeest is dictated for breeze power, and on a spacious day it’s unequivocally interesting to set a integrate of them giveaway in a well-spoken parking lot to ramble during will. But these smashing tiny mechanisms also lend themselves to radio control operation.
I contingency give credit for a radio control judgment to my longtime crony and drifting friend Mark Wolf. we done a few changes to make a expostulate complement a tiny some-more compress and to urge handling. Following are a few elementary stairs we can follow to build a Strandbeest of your own.
- Parts List:
- Mini-Strandbeest kit
- 2 X sub-micro servos – Hitec HS-55 or similar.
- 4 X 2.5K 100 milliwatt resistors.
- Sub-micro receiver.
- External BEC section – Suppo 3A or similar.
- 450-2S Lipo pack.
- 3 X 8-3/4″ pieces of 0.078″ song wire.
- 3 X 2″ pieces of 3/16″ styrene tubing.
- 1/16″ Styrene sheet
- 2-56 nuts (optional)
The usually partial of this plan that’s during all formidable is converting a servos from 45° transport to continual rotation. Online suppliers like ServoCity.com yield converted versions of some servos, though we haven’t found anyone charity continual revolution sub-micro servos. The following print how-to shows how to accomplish this conversion, regulating Hitec HS-55s as an example.
Loosen a 4 box screws and kindly mislay a tip of a case. In Hitec HS-55s there’s a tiny add-on subsequent to a hole for a outlay missile that prevents a rigging over-rotating. Carefully passage this add-on off with a #11 blade.
Gently examine a outlay rigging off a pot shaft.
Use a 1/16″ cavalcade in a pin vise or cordless cavalcade to delicately ream a hole in a base. This will make a rigging a lax fit on a pot missile so that it rotates though branch a pot. Replace a rigging on a pot missile and reinstate a tip on a case.
Now mislay a bottom of a servo box and shake a amp (the tiny circuit board) free. Inside you’ll see a feedback pot, that in a box of HS-55s is reason in place by a tiny Phillips screw. Remove this screw and shake a pot out of a socket.
Note a colors of a wires connected to a pot. On HS-55s a core handle is yellow, and a others are red and green.
Twist a span of 100 milliwatt or 1/8 watt 2.5K resistors as shown.
Solder a lead that was connected to a core add-on on a pot (yellow in this case) to a disfigured connection, and solder a other dual leads to a giveaway ends. These resistors reinstate a pot so that a servo will stagger during non-static speed in possibly direction.
Tidy things adult by covering a resistor gold with cringe tubing. Carefully things a resistor gold and amp house behind into a box and summon a servo. That’s it! Repeat this routine for a second servo.
If we haven’t built one before, a Standbeest pack looks a tiny bewildering, though there are a integrate of factors in your favor. First, a instructions that come with a pack are positively first-rate; a illustrations are excellent, and a content is created in unequivocally transparent English. Second, while it seems like a lot of parts, you’re unequivocally usually creation a same leg sub-assembly twelve times. These sub-assemblies are afterwards built adult into a span of half-frames. It’s unequivocally a flattering easy and rather fun project.
As we can see, a 12 leg sub-assemblies are identical; once we figure out a initial one, a rest are easy. While assembling, greatfully check any square and trim divided any peep or mold waste on a mating surfaces – we wish a finished public to be as low-friction as possible.
The usually place where a radio control Strandbeest public deviates from a batch skeleton is that when convention a legs to a A-frames and crankshafts, we wish a masculine ends on a A-frames and a womanlike sockets on a crankshafts to face a same way. This allows a dual halves to be fabricated as counterpart images, with a servos mounted between.
Continue a public as per a instructions.
The dual halves are matching and will be total confronting inward.
The pieces of 0.078 song handle and 3/16 styrene tubing are used to arrange a dual halves finish to end. The outlay shafts of a servos are cumulative in a sockets on a crankshafts with prohibited melt, PFM or matching glue.
The ascent image can be elementary ply, or piece styrene as shown here.
The servos can be taped or glued together. A styrene or timber spacer fits underneath a servos, and they’re cumulative to it with 2-sided tape.
The batch Strandbeest is reason together with a figure-8 rubber band, though we motionless to harden a ends of a tip song handle rod and thread a ends to 2-56. For sum on threading song wire, impute my HeliTalk mainstay in a July, 2015 emanate of Electric Flight.
Install 2-56 nuts on a ends of a threaded song handle to reason a Strandbeest support together. This completes a assembly.
Build your possess radio control Strandbeest
Radio Programming: The final step in in a plan is to module a Strandbeest into your transmitter.
1. Program a Strandbeest regulating an aeroplane template. Set a wing form to elevon or delta wing.
2. Connect a servos to a aileron and conveyor outputs on a receiver.
3. Bind a receiver to your transmitter.
4. When we initial spin on a Strandbeest you’ll substantially find a legs solemnly crawling in one instruction or another. Use a trims on your conductor to adjust a neutral points so that with a hang centered a servos are stopped. Depending on your code of radio this will take some hearing and error, adjusting both conveyor and aileron trim.
That’s it! Your Strandbeest is now prepared to run. Moving a hang adult and down will make a Strandbeest travel brazen and backward, and relocating it left and right will means it to focus in place. By relocating a hang diagonally a Strandbeest will travel in a winding path. While a Strandbeest can negotiate carpet, we advise using it on a well-spoken tough aspect to minimize wear and rip on a drivetrain.
Be certain to check lipo assign turn periodically; U-BEC units generally miss a low-voltage cutoff underline of a unchanging speed control, as they’re designed to energy a radio no matter what. I wish we find this plan as beguiling as we did.

Quick & Easy Asparagus
1 bunch medium asparagus (1 pound)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon lemon zest
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Fill a medium saucepan halfway with lightly salted water. Bring to a boil.
Prepare the asparagus while the water is heating. Rinse them thoroughly. Break off any tough, white bottoms and discard.
Cut the spears into 1- to 2-inch sections, slicing the asparagus at a slight diagonal.
Add the asparagus to the boiling water and lower the heat slightly to maintain a simmer. Parboil the asparagus for exactly 2 minutes. Drain the hot water.
Toss with olive oil, parmesan, lemon zest:
Toss the asparagus with olive oil, parmesan, and lemon zest while it's still hot.
Tips for Cleaning Asparagus
It’s always important to clean fresh produce before preparing it. Asparagus can have grit in its tips, so the first thing you should do is rinse it under cold water. Then you can prepare asparagus for cooking.
Remove the tough end from the rest of the stalk by either cutting or snapping it off. If using a knife, cut 1/2 inch to 1 inch off the bottom, depending on where the green fades into white. If you're snapping the tough end off, bend the thicker end of the stalk to see where it snaps naturally.
Or, you can cut off about a quarter-inch of the bottom of the stalk and peel a thin layer of skin off the lower half of the stalk with a vegetable peeler. The asparagus is now ready for your recipe.

Learn about our Medical Review Board Print While it may not necessarily sound like a bad thing to everyone, exercise addiction can lead to real problems, so you may be wondering, what is exercise addiction? After all, numerous studies have demonstrated the physical and emotional health benefits of regular exercise — it is essential to our well-being. Unlike many other addictive behaviors, we are encouraged to exercise more. However, there is such a thing as exercise addiction—and it can have harmful consequences. Characteristics of Exercise Addiction Several characteristics distinguish healthy regular exercise from exercise addiction. Firstly, exercise addiction is maladaptive, so instead of improving a person’s life, it causes more problems. Exercise addiction can threaten health, causing injuries, physical damage due to inadequate rest, and in some instances (particularly when co-occurring with an eating disorder), malnutrition and other problems. Secondly, it is persistent, so an exercise addict exercises too much and for too long without giving the body a chance to recover. We all overexert ourselves on occasion and usually rest afterward. But people with exercise addiction exercise for hours every day, regardless of fatigue or illness. As the individual’s principal way of coping with stress, they experience anxiety, frustration, or emotional discomfort if they are unable to do so. The Confusion and Controversy About Exercise Addiction Exercise addiction is probably the most contradictory of all the addictions. As well as being a widely promoted health behavior, important for the prevention and treatment for a range of ailments, exercise can be an effective part of treatment for other mental health problems. Exercise is even promoted as part of a complete program of recovery from other addictions. It forms part of new and effective approaches to treating mental health problems which commonly co-occur with or underlie addictions such as depression and borderline personality disorder (BPD). It's understandable how some are confused by how exercise could be an addiction itself. Like other behavioral addictions, exercise addiction is a controversial idea. Many experts balk at the idea that excessive exercise can constitute an addiction, believing that there has to be a psychoactive substance that produces symptoms — such as withdrawal — for an activity to be a true addiction. Although there is considerable research showing that exercise releases endorphins (opioids produced within the body), and excessive exercise causes tolerance to the hormones and neurotransmitters released, these physiological processes are often not considered comparable to other substance addictions. Exercise addiction is currently classified under "behavioral addiction" in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), the gold standard for the diagnosis of mental disorders. It is also considered a "compensatory behavior" used to prevent weight gain, along with self-induced vomiting, and misuse of laxatives, among individuals with the eating disorder bulimia nervosa. A recent study, published in the journal Eating and Weight Disorders — Studies on Anorexia, Bulimia and Obesity, found that rates of exercise addiction are nearly four times greater in adults displaying signs of an eating disorder. How Is Exercise Addiction Like Other Addictions? There are several similarities between exercise addiction and drug addiction, including effects on mood, tolerance, and withdrawal. Neurotransmitters and the brain's reward system have been implicated in exercise and other addictions. For example, dopamine has been found to play an important role in overall reward systems, and regular, excessive exercise has been shown to influence parts of the brain involving dopamine. Like other addictive substances and behaviors, exercise is associated with pleasure and social, cultural or sub-cultural desirability. People who develop exercise addiction tend to be inflexible in their thinking, similar to people with other addictions, and this can reinforce the pattern of addiction by helping them to exercise regularly. In addition, research shows that even people at high risk of developing exercise addiction are supported in exercising by family and friends. Healthy Fitness vs. Exercise Addiction Only 8% of gym users meet the criteria for exercise addiction. In the classic pattern of addiction, exercise addicts increase their amount of exercise to re-experience feelings of escapism or the natural high they had previously experienced with shorter periods of exercise. They report withdrawal symptoms when they are unable to exercise, and tend to go back to high levels of exercise after a period of abstinence or control. Three percent of gym users feel they cannot stop exercising. While many reasons for exercising are shared among exercisers whether or not they are addicted — health, fitness, weight management, body image, and stress relief — exercisers who are not addicted cite other reasons that exercise addicts do not share, such as social enjoyment, relaxation, and time alone. People at risk for exercise addiction have difficulties in other areas in their lives that drive them to exercise to dangerous levels. They feel strongly that exercise is the most important thing in their life, and they use exercise as a way to express emotions including anger, anxiety, and grief, and to deal with work and relationship stress. Some know that their excessive exercise has caused conflicts with their family members. A central function of exercise addiction is the sense of control — over mood, the body, the environment — that exercise provides. It also provides a sense of structure. Ironically, as with other addictions, the attempt to exert control eventually leads to a loss of control over the ability to balance the activity with other priorities in life. People who are addicted to exercise tend to miss out on family, social, and work events or tend to neglect work, school, or personal responsibilities because of the need to exercise. What to Do If You Think You May Be Addicted to Exercise Exercise is a great way to manage stress and to address negative feelings. If your need for exercise is greater than your ability to manage your relationships and feelings, you may need more help, both to overcome your addiction and to find healthier ways of coping. Speak with your doctor about the best way to treat your addiction.

Awesome Life Insurance Tips for those with GERD and/or Barrett’s Esophagus
Known primarily as a serious complication of gastroesophageal reflux disease GERD, Barrett’s esophagus is one of those pre-existing conditions which can often significantly complicate what would otherwise be a straight forward and easy life insurance application.
In understanding why being diagnosed with GERD or Barrett’s esophagus can become an issue, it’s important to understand exactly what these two separate conditions are, and how they can potentially manifest into a situation where purchasing a exam required term or whole life insurance policy can become extremely difficult until resolved.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease is defined as a chronic digestive disease, whereby stomach acid flows from the stomach back into the esophagus whereby it creates a burning sensation typically referred to as heartburn. This regurgitation then causes irritation to the lining of the esophagus which if left untreated or unchecked can go on to develop into a condition known as Barrett’s esophagus.
Individuals will often be diagnosed as having GERD rather than occasional “heartburn” or "acid reflux" when their condition escalates from occasional bouts to a more frequent and chronic occurrence.
The good news here is that, in most situations, where ones’ GERD is simply a painful inconvenience, and hasn’t manifested into anything more serous like Barrett’s esophagus, there remains a good chance that you you’ll be eligible for Preferred or Preferred Plus rate class provided you would be otherwise eligible.
Additionally, you may also be eligible for a simplified issue life insurance policy which would allow you to obtain a quality term or whole life insurance policy without needing to take a medical exam!
For those who have more serious health issues, you may need to consider smaller policies offered by the best final expense and burial insurance companies.
Call Today 888-234-8376
Barrett’s esophagus is defined as a serious complication of GERD whereby the normal tissue lining of the esophagus becomes so damaged by repeated gastroesophageal reflux that it begins to take on the form of ones’ intestinal lining. Fortunately, only 10% of those suffering from GERD will go on to develop Barrett’s esophagus.
Barrett’s esophagus becomes a concern for life insurance companies because while rare, individuals suffering from Barrett’s esophagus will experience an increased risk of developing cancer of the esophagus (less than 1%), which unfortunately is a very lethal form of cancer.
But before we get too upset…
Let’s reiterate, that developing esophageal cancer after being diagnosed with Barrett’s esophagus is rare. But that doesn’t mean that the insurance companies aren’t going to be a little nervous about it none the less.
For this reason, once it has been determined that your GERD has been severe enough to cause you to develop Barrett’s esophagus, you’ll generally find that the insurance companies are going to ask several additional questions about your GERD so that they can determine what type of “risk” you may pose.
Common questions you’ll likely be as will include:
- When where you first diagnosed with GERD? And when was it determined that you have Barrett’s esophagus?
- How long have you been treating these conditions?
- What medications are you currently using to treat your GERD?
- Has your condition required any type of medical and/or surgical procedures?
- Have you ever had any esophageal cells test positive for cancer or be determined as “pre-cancerous”?
With these questions…
Answered, the insurance companies will generally have a pretty good idea about what “type” of life insurance policy you’ll be eligible for and also what “rate class” you most likely will qualify for.
The good news for those who have been diagnosed with Barret’s esophagus, provided that there is no evidence of cancer, you too should potentially be eligible for a Preferred or Preferred plus rate class as well!
The only difference here is…
That for those who have been diagnosed with Barrett’s esophagus, we’ll typically suggest that they first try applying for fully underwritten term or whole life insurance that will require them to take a medical exam, rather than apply for a simplified issue life insurance policy that won’t require a medical exam simply because in many situations, a fully underwritten term or whole life insurance policy will be easier for someone to qualify for. Particularly if they have a pre-existing medical condition like Barrett’s esophagus.
To learn more about…
What types of life insurance policies that you may qualify for as well as get a general idea about how much your life insurance policy will cost, we highly recommend that you to give us a call and see if we can earn your business!

Grand jury transcripts sealed
STOCKTON — A judge has sealed transcripts of the grand jury hearings in the case against Jaime Ramos and Pablo Ruvalcaba, the two suspects in the July bank robbery that ended in the tragic death of a hostage.
The defendants were in court Monday for a pretrial hearing when Deputy District Attorney Mark Ott requested the judge close the documents to the public with defense attorneys agreeing.
The transcripts, which have yet to be made available to attorneys by the court reporter, will contain the testimony heard by a criminal grand jury in closed hearings before the group indicted the two men on a swarm of charges.
Ott did not comment after the court session, but he previously has indicated prosecutors are limiting the amount of details released to the public in an effort to prevent the case from being transferred to another county.
Defense attorneys could seek the venue change on the basis the exposure has tainted the local jury pool.
Monday was the second time Ramos and Ruvalcaba appeared in court together since the chaotic events of July 16, when three armed men stormed into the now-shuttered Bank of the West on Thornton Road, took three hostages and led officers on a one-hour pursuit marked by sporadic gunfire.
The “rolling active shooter incident” ended in the death of hostage Misty Holt-Singh, a wife and mother, who police believed was used as a shield by Ramos, and two of the assailants — cousins Alex Martinez, 27, and Gilbert Renteria, 30.
Ramos, 20, was arrested on scene and was charged days later. Ruvalcaba, 21, was arrested only recently following the grand jury’s decision.
Ruvalcaba previously had been questioned on suspicion he drove and dropped the gunmen off at the bank, but authorities released him for a lack of evidence. Prosecutors took the information to a grand jury, who, in December, found there was probable cause to charge the alleged driver.
The two men are indicted on more than five dozen charges, including three counts of murder with special circumstances; 37 counts of attempted murder; carjacking; kidnapping; robbery; and numerous other allegations.
At Monday’s hearing, Ruvalcaba’s newly appointed attorney, Jeffrey Hirschfield, argued a motion to have assigned Superior Court Judge Bernard Garber recuse himself from the case, a move usually sought when a party believes the judge cannot be impartial.
Garber ruled against it, saying the law does not permit the shift more than once in one case, and co-defendant Ramos already had another judge — a former gang unit prosecutor — recuse himself before the case was transferred to Garber.
Ramos and Ruvalcaba are scheduled to return to court on Feb. 2 before Garber.

Plaza B., Tironi M., Haarich S.N.; Bilbaos art scene and the Guggenheim effect revisited ;European Planning Studies vol:17.0 issue: 11.0 page:1711.0
|Link to article
|The article analyzes the effects of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao (GMB), adopting a new research perspective and trying to pursue the links between the museum and Bilbaos art scene. Until now, the impact of the museum has been analyzed from two different perspectives. The first focused on the urban development and regeneration aspects and the success of the museum as a tourist magnet and an image-making device. The second perspective concentrated on the direct economic benefits of the museum, i.e. direct returns and effects on the economy. The missing lens in previous analyses, however, was the impact of the museum on the citys art landscape, including the art support activities. In this context, the article describes for the first time in a detailed way how the GMB has contributed to the shaping and propulsion of changes on commercial and non-profit art spaces in Bilbao. Although it is clear that other factors may play a role, it can be asserted that the effects of the museum are not only limited to an increase in tourism or fiscal return, but also contribute to the development and spatial articulation of the local art scene and public support of the arts. © 2009 Taylor & Francis.

Bitu Sonowal, Dharjya Konwar Infected by COVID-19
Within a couple of days of the news of the peasant and KMSS leader Bitu Sonowal being unwell, he has tested positive for COVID-19. Along with him, another KMSS leader Dharjya Konwar has tested positive for the deadly contagion.
It has been learnt that both the patients were brought out of Guwahati Central Jail last night and are being kept in a makeshift camp in Panbazar.
Sonowal, since his childhood, has been a patient of Asthma. No news of Akhil Gogoi has come till the writing of this news report. Gogoi’s health is also not fine.
Meanwhile, in a video released on social media, Kamal Kumar Medhi, former longstanding deputy of Akhil Gogoi and second in command in the organisation, has accused the government of taking a very casual approach to the deteriorating health of the jailed leaders.
Slamming the government for this attitude, he asked why did the government have to wait, despite many appeals, for the court orders to do the swab tests of the jailed leaders. He further informed in the video that the leaders, due to lack of space in the existing health facilities, were taken to different hospitals last night, thus highlighting the alleged inhumane treatment meted out to them.
On Wednesday , former CM of Assam Tarun Gogoi haddemanded the immediate release of Gogoi, Sonowal, Konwar and Manas Konwar. He also assured of legal help from Congress to the jailed leaders if need be. It is to be noted that all the leaders were imprisoned in connection to the anti-CAA protests.

The middle of May is normally a time for high school proms, college commencements and graduation parties, but the Covid-19 pandemic has made those moments impossible for the class of 2020.
As millions of students in the U.S. are missing out on traditional graduation experiences, brands are stepping in to offer some quarantine-friendly alternatives: virtual proms and commencements.
Paul Soseman, CEO of experiential marketing agency Department Zero, notes brands are seeing the benefit in hosting these experiences because they make it possible for graduating students to still share memorable moments with family and friends, albeit in a nontraditional way.
“Brands sponsoring or being involved with graduation isn’t anything new, but now they have a captive audience that can definitely see their messaging. It’s an opportunity for brands to come in and play a bigger role,” Soseman says. “Graduating from high school or college sticks out in your memory, but graduating in 2020 in particular will stick out, because it was that time when we couldn’t leave our houses.”
Prom in your living room
When local governments began issuing stay-at-home mandates in March—and it was clear in-person gatherings would be unsafe, indefinitely—Jack in the Box was one of the first brands to announce plans for a virtual prom as part of a larger stay-at-home campaign. The fast-food brand started to tease the event on its social channels in early spring, leaving followers wondering: What exactly does a virtual prom look like?
The brand ended up hosting its virtual Prom in the Box on May 9, creating two experiences on Zoom for Rolling Hills Prep and Polytechnic High School in California. The brand also expanded the event to the public with livestreams on its Instagram and Twitch accounts.
Adrienne Ingoldt, svp and chief brand and experience officer for Jack in the Box, explains the brand wanted to deliver a feel-good moment to high school students—and offer a culturally relevant livestream for brand fans.
“We uncanceled prom and became the first quick-service restaurant to make prom a virtual experience,” she says. “When we first started planning, we wanted to partner directly with schools in order to create a very custom experience for them since we knew how important this night was.”
Jack in the Box hosted two private Zooms for the schools so classmates could have a shared experience at home with the option of using custom backgrounds. The brand tapped YouTube personality Jesse Wellens to host the event at home, with remote DJ sets from Diplo and Dillon Francis. The event also included surprise pop-ins from rap duo Rae Sremmurd and TikTok star Jalaiah Harmon.
To offer viewers some prom necessities, the brand integrated sponsors digitally for physical deliveries, providing Uber Eats codes for discounted and free meals, and promo codes for flowers from 1-800-Flowers, dresses from Lulus and tuxedos from Black Tux.
Jack in the Box worked with Nice Sweater, a digital experiential division of marketing shop Cashmere Agency, to execute the event. According to the brand, the #PromInTheBox hashtag drew 30 million impressions on social, and six custom Giphy stickers generated more than 12,300 views.
“Outside of quantitative numbers, Nice Sweater and Jack in the Box wanted to do something that would recreate the human connectivity that consumers are missing during these unprecedented times,” says Ted Chung, chairman of Cashmere Agency. “We know consumers want more than just products; they want deeper connections to the brands they purchase from. This virtual experience was a safe space for the students to be with their friends and, most importantly, recreated the moment each senior had been looking forward to all year long.”
Jack in the Box isn’t the only brand that has hosted a virtual prom this season. DJ D-Nice and social app and group video chat platform Houseparty, arguably the two biggest breakout stars of quarantine, joined forces last week to host their own prom, which was open to the public.

You may have heard stories about these cards running hot and I assure you that it is not far from the truth. And while we will have liquid nitrogen on the core, the VRMs under the loads that we will be using will produce enough heat to warm a small house in winter. These will not only require heatsinks, but also active cooling.
Just for an annoyance, one of the components nestled in and around them sits slightly higher than what we are trying to cool. To counter that, I have drilled out a small section of the heatsink where that component can sit unobstructed while letting the heatsink sit flat.
Double sided thermal tape has been used to secure them in place, but as these cards will be doing some travelling over the coming days, I have used art eraser which is the same kind I have demonstrated before, as a form of insulation to help secure the heatsinks in place.

Background: We have examined secular trends in age- and sex-specific prescribing of antidepressants to determine whether these mirror changes in other population measures of mental health.
Method: An analysis was carried out of age- and sex-specific rates of antidepressant prescribing by a representative sample or panel of UK general practitioners (GPs) in the period 1975-1998.
Results: The number of antidepressant prescriptions issued increased more than twofold in the period 1975-1998 and, in 1998, a total of 23.4 million antidepressant prescriptions were issued by GPs in the United Kingdom. Rates of antidepressant prescribing increased markedly in all age and sex groups with as much as a threefold increase in the older age groups. With the exception of 12-19-year-olds, these increases have been more marked in males, although absolute levels of prescribing are still at least two times higher in females.
Conclusions: Antidepressant prescribing has increased in all age and sex groups. This indicates either that there have been changes in the presentation, recognition and management of depression in general practice or that the prevalence of depression has increased, or a combination of these two phenomena. The higher prescribing rate in females is in keeping with evidence from psychiatric morbidity surveys suggesting that women experience higher levels of psychiatric morbidity than men. Decreases in the ratio of female to male prescribing, however, support other data indicating that, relative to females, the mental health of young males has declined in recent years. Changes in patterns of help-seeking may also contribute to the observed trends.

In a freshwater pond, it's "eat or be eaten." A dragonfly larva eats a midge; a water beetle larva eats a damselfly larva. Snail larvae grow. A beetle larva eats one. Up close, we see the eating apparatus of a damselfly larva -- with a retractable hook beneath mandibles. Some creatures bite and chew, others suck. A water beetle larva holds on to its prey, injects a poison that turns the victim's insides to soup, and then sucks it dry. We watch one eat a damselfly larvae and then another water beetle larva. Some have ingenious ways to camouflage themselves, like the water scorpion, and to breathe air while hunting under water. Caddisfly larvae hide in debris, then eat. Written by
"Assassins d'eau douce" or "Freshwater Assassins" is a black-and-white documentary that runs for slightly under half an hour and it is one of filmmaker Jean Painlevé's longer works. There is no denying he was a pioneer when it comes to the genre of animal documentary and he made this one here shortly after World War II. It is in french like his other works, so if you really want to understand every bit of it, you may need a good pair of subtitles. I personally have some of his work and found this one not too interesting. But that is just subjective as the animals depicted in here, mostly water creatures, but no fish, aren't something I am too interested in. Still there are a couple decent video recordings as usual with Painlevé, so it's not a failure at all. It is also pretty brutal again in terms of animal violence among each other.

When you enter addiction treatment centers, you expect to get the most modern treatment, backed by science. For this reason, many people struggle to understand the place of mindfulness in rehab. Mindfulness is an ancient Eastern practice. Can it really help Americans in addiction treatment centers in 2022?
The explanation lies in the kind of mindfulness you will learn in a rehab center. It is not a purist practice of sitting on a mountain and meditating for the rest of your life. Rather, it has become a fundamental aspect of mental health treatment in general, because of its proven efficacy.
In addiction treatment centers, Eastern and Western teachings are brought together. Here’s what you need to know.
Western Psychology and Addiction
Western psychology has taken us extremely far in our understanding of addiction. What was once seen as nothing more than a lack of willpower is now understood to be an illness. This conception of addiction has allowed us to find ways to treat those who suffer, instead of punishing them.
However, addiction treatment still fell short for a long time. Recovering addicts learned to understand how they got here, along with the triggers that remained in their lives. They learned new coping mechanisms. This helped many people heal. But relapse rates were high and this treatment did not work for everyone.
Part of the reason was that treatment focused on thoughts and narratives. While thinking can lead to better understanding, it is extremely difficult to outthink difficult feelings. This is where mindfulness comes in.
Mindfulness and Regulating Emotions
The mindfulness taught in addiction treatment centers places a major focus on regulating emotions. Most people chase what they see as positive emotions and run from so-called negative emotions. It is in doing so that people turn to substances, which make them feel “good” and numb out pain.
Mindfulness teaches us that emotions are neither good nor bad. They are all necessary, even if we don’t like them. In fact, without difficult emotions like sadness, our ability to love would be incomplete. No one wants to feel nothing after losing a loved one, for example.
Mindfulness techniques teach us to feel our emotions rather than hanging onto those we like and avoiding those we don’t. By feeling these emotions without judgment, we are no longer controlled by them. We pause instead of reacting and let them wash over us like a wave.
For recovering addicts, this ability is fundamental to staying off substances. It takes time and practice to learn, but ultimately becomes an effective tool against relapse. Instead of using substances to cope with emotions, we regulate them.
In addiction treatment centers, mindfulness is therefore a part of the treatment as a whole. Western and Eastern practices come together to offer the best chance of achieving a lasting recovery.

Downtown traditions: Classic tastes still rule at Zak's
ZANESVILLE – For 38 years, Zak's restaurant in downtown Zanesville has gone through numerous changes in decor and menu. The diners' palates, however, remain the same.
The Chicken Terizak, a teriyaki-marinated chicken breast placed over a bed of rice pilaf, was one of the dishes to appear on the restaurant's first single-page menu, and it still remains one of the most popular to this day.
"We have generations of people that come back here for it, and that's part of our identity," co-owner Suzanne Zakany said.
Standing out on a menu that features everything from stir fry to stuffed steaks is no easy task, but Suzanne believes the Chicken Terizak's simplicity is a strength.
"It's an easy dish; it's not complicated. In some ways, it's our version of comfort food," she said. "It's an item that's stayed popular, and quality definitely has something to with that."
Co-owner Albert Zakany, who founded the restaurant in 1977, says his background in butchery and commitment to preparing as much of the food on site as possible is part of what makes the dish so good.
"Things and flavors evolve, but the thing about comfort food is there's an innate wholesomeness to it," he said.
With any dish, the Zakanys invite patrons to drink outside the box, pairing their dishes with wine from their extensive cellar.
The Chicken Terizak, Albert said, is best paired with a nice riesling or a pinot noir, something with a light flavor that won't overwhelm the dish.
But picking a favorite label? That's a bit more difficult.
"It's like picking your favorite child!" Albert Zakany jokes.
The Zakanys' dedication to pairing each dish with the right wine has certainly paid off, as they have seen wine sales continue to surge in the past few years.
"Some of our dyed-in-the-wool margarita and liquor drinkers are now wine drinkers," Suzanne Zakany said.
With almost 40 years behind them, the Zakanys hope their eclectic blend of Manhattan decor and timeless flavors are able to excite and satiate customers for four more decades.
"If I do my job right, people are happy," Albert Zakany said. "So that's a pretty good way to live."
Hungry for more?
Zak's is at 32 N. Third St. and is open from 5 to 9 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday and 5 to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
