Connect with her on Instagram and Facebook, or visit www.CynthiaSass.com. health's editorial guidelines Updated on October 10, 2022 Share Tweet Pin Email Nutritional yeast is a flake or powder product made from yeast grown using sugar and can be a staple for plant-based diets or cooking. As the name suggests, nutritional yeast comes with a wealth of nutrients such as B vitamins and protein. This nutritious, vegan, and gluten-free product adds flavor, color, and "cheesiness" to various dishes without the need for dairy. You've also probably seen a slew of recipes that call for nutritional yeast—like cashew cheese, cauliflower mash, kale chips, and vegan pesto. If you're unfamiliar with nutritional yeast, find out how it can be good for you and the different ways to use it. Benefits of Nutritional Yeast Nutritional yeast has a few potential health benefits. Helps Contribute to B Vitamin Intake While non-fortified nutritional yeast exists, fortified nutritional yeast is the most commonly used form and contains added nutrients. One study explained that nutritional yeast is a complete protein and a good source of B vitamins, such as B12. Those who consume a vegan diet eat no animal products, which are a good source of protein and B vitamins, especially B12. Nutritional yeast can help ensure those who are vegan get enough protein and vitamin B12 in their diets. Promotes Gut Health In addition to its high-quality protein and B vitamins, the fiber in nutritional yeast promotes gut health. Eating enough fiber—between 21 grams and 38 grams for adults—helps digestion and reduces constipation. Contains Beta-Glucan The seasoning contains beta-glucan, a specific type of fiber that supports immunity and bone density, reduces cholesterol and blood pressure and potentially lowers cancer risk. Beta-glucan may specifically help support immunity through two mechanisms. The first mechanism is enhanced immune reactions, and the second is reduced inflammation. Nutrition of Nutritional Yeast Exact nutrient levels vary from brand to brand, but a two-tablespoon serving of the popular Bragg nutritional yeast provides: Calories: 40 caloriesFat: 0 gramsSodium: 20 milligramsCarbohydrates: 3 gramsFiber: 2 gramsProtein: 5 grams Nutritional yeast also provides antioxidants and smaller amounts of key minerals vital to overall health. For example, it has significant amounts of energy-supporting B vitamins. These amounts are: Over 90% of the daily target for folate Over 200% for niacin More than 400% for both vitamin B6 and riboflavin Over 500% for thiamin More than 600% for vitamin B12 Nutritional yeast is an important source of vitamin B12 for people who follow a completely plant-based diet, as this nutrient isn't found in whole, unprocessed plant foods. Nutritional yeast also contains several trace minerals. These trace minerals include calcium, copper, iron, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, manganese, selenium, sodium, and zinc. The seasoning also contains a mineral known as glucose tolerance factor (GTF). GTF is a biologically active form of selenium and may play a role in blood sugar control in those with diabetes—however, the data are inconclusive. Risks of Nutritional Yeast Because of nutritional yeast's fiber content, it may be best not to pile on too much of the seasoning in one sitting. Eating too much fiber at once can lead to digestive upsets, like gas and bloating or diarrhea. So if you are enjoying other high-fiber foods and nutritional yeast, consider gradually introducing the seasoning to foods and keep an eye on how much you consume. Tips for Consuming Nutritional Yeast Nutritional yeast has a cheesy, nutty, umami flavor that some people compare to Parmesan. If you want to try this nutritional powerhouse, you'll be happy to know how versatile it can be. You can sprinkle it onto popcorn, salads, cooked veggies, and baked potatoes or blend it into smoothies. You can also use it in sauces, soups, salad dressings, homemade crackers, biscuits, and desserts like vegan cheesecake. Other ideas include blending it with cashews and spices to create a sauce for homemade macaroni and cheese. Substituting it for Parmesan on top of a bowl of pasta with pesto is another option. Nutritional yeast can also serve as a savory topping on a warm bowl of butternut squash soup. A Quick Review A type of seasoning, nutritional yeast contains nutrients like folate, vitamin B12, and fiber. Some of its potential health benefits are digestive and immune system support. Because nutritional yeast has fiber, it's a good idea not to eat a lot in a short period to avoid digestive issues like bloating. Also, the product is versatile and can be used as a seasoning or as an ingredient in foods like soups, desserts, and salad dressings. Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback! Tell us why!

Former President Donald Trump, the runaway front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024, blasted President Joe Biden on Thursday for the "out of control" southern border and said the U.S. is "being extorted by Mexico and other countries."
Trump's Truth Social post came as a caravan of roughly 8,000 migrants makes its way to the U.S. border and a day after Biden sent a delegation to Mexico to meet with President Andrés Manuel López Obrador in Mexico City about the border crisis.
"Our border is out of control like no border in history, from any country, has ever been," Trump wrote. "We are being extorted by Mexico and other countries, when it should be the other way around. We truly are a nation in decline, a failing nation, with leadership that is not respected and doesn't have a clue….and just 3 years ago, we had the strongest and safest border in our history, by far."
Trump's extortion claim comes after Lopez Obrador said the U.S. should ease sanctions on Cuba and Venezuela and offer more support to Latin America countries instead of putting up "barriers, barbed wire fences on the river or thinking about building walls." Mexico also put pressure on the U.S. on Wednesday to reopen border railway crossings that were temporarily shut over the massive surge of crossings.
"The importance of reopening the border crossings is a priority for us," said Mexico's Secretary of Foreign Affairs Alicia Bárcena Ibarra.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the U.S. is "committed" to working with Mexico to solve a problem that Republicans say Biden's camp created. Blinken was part of the delegation that included Department of Homeland Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and White House Homeland Security Adviser Liz Sherwood-Randall.
"As we made clear in Mexico City today, we are committed to partnering with Mexico to address our shared challenges, including managing unprecedented irregular migration in the region, reopening key ports of entry, and combating illicit fentanyl and other synthetic drugs," Blinken posted.
Congressional Republicans have tied aid for Israel and Ukraine to immediate border policy changes from the Biden administration. CBP statistics show that more than 240,000 migrants were encountered each of the past three months. Officials said encounters in December already have surpassed 200,000.
Republicans want to return to the Trump-era policy of "Remain in Mexico" rather than having migrants await asylum hearings in the U.S.
Also, House Speaker Mike Johnson sent a letter to Biden last week urging him to take executive action to stem the flow of migrants. Instead, Biden sent the delegation.
"This is a very dangerous situation that could be solved tomorrow if we had the proper policy, but we can't get this administration to do what's right by the American people," president of the National Border Patrol Council Brandon Judd told Newsmax on Wednesday.

So the local Jack station (a radio format term as dated as Adult Contemporary or Album Oriented Rock by now) plays old American Top 40 radio programs on Sunday morning, so I get a chance to catch old songs that don’t get a lot of radio play now.
When Bertie Higgins’ “Key Largo” came on, I thought, not actually featured in the film Key Largo.
And then it struck me: He is singing about the movie Key Largo. I hadn’t known that when I heard the song previously.
I mean, when he sang about Bogie and Bacall, I thought about them in the context that I’d known them at the time I heard the song: From the film The Big Sleep and as a married couple. I didn’t see Key Largo until much later.
So all this time, I thought Bertie just wanted to sail to Key Largo, and that he was watching old movies like The Big Sleep with the woman in the song.
How daft I am.
Fun fact: I’ve actually seen Key Largo twice in recent years (meaning within the last, what, decade?). The first by myself and the second with my beautiful wife as I’ve tried to convince her share in my enjoyment of old movies. So we’ve watched two together, the other being His Girl Friday with Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell.

Around one third of all food produced for food consumption around the world is either lost or wasted.
The UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) reveals that international cooperation and innovative, climate-friendly technologies are critical to address global food loss and waste which totals more than 1.3 billion tonnes a year.
Around one third of all food produced for food consumption around the world is either lost or wasted. Food loss mainly occurs in developing countries where 821 million people still suffer from chronic malnutrition and also has an impact on climate change.
FAO is working with a broad spectrum of stakeholders and partners to tackle food loss and waste. It is also exploring sustainable solutions to better protect the earth’s ozone layer in line with the Montreal Protocol and its Kigali Amendment.
Meanwhile, FAO has given six tips on how to avoid and reduce food waste:
Be realistic – Plan in advance and don’t prepare food for 50 people if only 5 are coming to dinner.
Freeze leftovers or give them to guests – If you do cook too much food, encourage guests to take some home with them. Whatever is left, put it promptly in the freezer for another day. In general, food should not be left at room temperature for longer than two hours.
Turn the leftover food into the next day’s lunch or dinner – There are many creative recipes on the internet for using leftovers. In fact, several dishes like casseroles, goulash, fattoush, and panzanella started from the desire not to waste fruits, vegetables, or even excess, bread. Make sure that you store any leftovers in the refrigerator and use it as soon as possible.
Finish leftovers before making something new – The instinct to make something different for every meal is quite common, but before cooking a new dish, see if you have anything already prepared and still safe to eat to finish first. Alternatively, turn your old leftovers into a new dish. Just remember to avoid re-heating food and then putting it back into the refrigerator later.
Allow guests to serve themselves – As nice as it is to serve people, a host might not accurately gage how much or how little someone wants to eat, and usually errs on the side of too much. Allowing guests to serve themselves means that they can choose the amount that they would like to eat. (As a food waste tip for guests: when a meal is self-serve, don’t take more than you can eat!)
Donate what you don’t use – If you buy extra cans, dried goods, or other non-perishable food that can be donated, there are many local charities that happily accept these foods. Check out the internet for places near you that accept donations.

The older you get, the more important it becomes to take care of your brain in order for it to function properly. The human brain relies on a steady supply of nutrients from our diet, blood sugar, and oxygen, all vital components for preventing such mental disorders as Alzheimer’s and dementia.
The brain is responsible for controlling all movement, thought processing, and the sensations in the human body. It is a gigantic memory-storing warehouse capable of holding over 2.5 petabytes of data, which is approximately three million hours of your favorite T.V shows and movies.
The brain regulates every movement your body makes, from raising your arms in the air to walking in a straight line and blinking your eyes. So take care of it, learn about ten superfoods that can help fight off mental illnesses, increase memory power, and keep your brain healthier.
10 Super Foods That Help Boost Brain Power
1) Dark Chocolate
Dark Chocolate Chocolate lovers will be pleased to know that this delicious treat can also be used to increase memory power and even lower cholesterol. Dark chocolate contains many anti-aging and anti-inflammatory properties, which help increase proper blood flow. Enjoy a piece of dark chocolate after dinner and look for the supermarket versions containing 70% cocoa.
Blueberries are a delicious memory-enhancing healthy snack, boosting many cognitive functions. Blueberries contain high levels of flavonoids, which are vital components that keep the brain protected from Parkinson’s disease and dementia. You can mix a handful of blueberries together with your yogurt, or eat a half cup of these bad boys daily.
Walnuts are known to improve memory and thinking abilities since they contain very high levels of omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids play a critical role in the proper functioning of neurotransmitters, keeping your mind super sharp. They provide essential nutrients and keep the oxygen properly flowing throughout blood vessels in the brain. Add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts to homemade fruit salads, oatmeal, or simply eat a handful of them raw.
Salmon is one of the healthiest superfoods you can eat. It is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, many essential vitamins, and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), which can significantly reduce the risk for Alzheimer's disease. Choose wild salmon as opposed to the farmed version, since it contains fewer levels of mercury and PCB contamination.
This yellow spice contains high levels of curcumin property, which can prevent Alzheimer’s disease and other serious illnesses from forming in the body. It is used as a natural healing treatment for toothaches, various stomach disorders, and clogged arteries. Turmeric also improves cognitive functions, such as problem-solving and reasoning.
Spinach is loaded with all the essential vitamins your brain requires to function properly. It contains high amounts of potassium, which helps promote electrical conductivity in the brain. Spinach also protects against fatigue, drowsiness, and even dementia. Make sure you include this incredible leafy green vegetable to your diet.
Tomatoes help destroy free radical damage to cells, leading at times to severe mental disorders and even cancer. Tomatoes protect against memory loss since they contain high amounts of lycopene antioxidant property. There are many ways to enjoy this robust vegetable. You can add them to your salad, prepare a homemade tomato sauce, or use them in a healthy low-fat soup dish.
Broccoli contains a memory-boosting compound known as choline, which can increase the growth of new brain cells and neural connections. Broccoli also reduces bad cholesterol levels, improves bone density and protects from cancer. They are also great sources of vitamin C and keep you protected from the common cold. Eat a cupful of broccoli at least three times per week to reap their incredible health benefits.
9) Acorn Squash
Winter squash is a rich source of folic acid, which allows for quick transmission of information through nerve cells. Squash contains high levels of the B-12 vitamin that protects against nerve damage. You won't be forgetting important details any time soon with a helping of winter squash. They can be baked, roasted or pureed as well.
10) Green Tea
Green tea contains plenty of immune-strengthening antioxidants, which help you concentrate better and stay healthy overall. Drink 2-3 cups of green tea each day to prevent memory loss and protect against mental diseases. You can increase these health benefits by adding a squirt of freshly squeezed lemon juice, a few ginger roots and a dash of honey to it.

An evening visit but the usual location on No.6 tank was block by earthworks and a trench dug to accommodate the new energy lines to be inserted. I’m not sure how long these works will continue but it doesn’t look like a quick job.
I watched from the south bank of No.6 tank but crossing a drainage channel I slipped and ended up with a thorough soaking of my boots and when my scope disappeared beneath the water I ended up with wet a sleeve. Composing myself but feeling the chill wind it was warming to see 200 Black-headed Gull already in situ bathing before their flight out to the river. A very impressive courting, feeding and paired up flock of 200 Shoveler were present. Also on the flooded tank were 29 Common Pochard, 34 Tufted Duck, 11 Pintail, 11 Gadwall. 570 Common Teal, 40 Mallard and 120 Common Shelduck. The roosting Lapwing flock were gathered in the shallower water with 4 Ruff and 12 Dunlin.
Raven were typically active and everywhere in numbers and at dusk birds were watched heading south over Helsby and Fox Hills. A Short-eared Owl was hunting over No.4 tank and presumably the same bird was watched later over No.6 tank.
The Cormorant roost contained 12 birds with at least one being a ‘sinensis‘.

Kotter‟s (1996, p21) eight-stage change process sounds convincing. It encourages management-led change that sets a clear vision, and uses pragmatic techniques to drive change and make it stick. Change must be pushed towards completion, otherwise (p144), „without sufficient leadership, change stalls.‟ For Kotter, the leader is outside of the process, and change can be initiated, directed, and brought to a conclusion at a new place of equilibrium.
Senge‟s (1990) „systems thinking‟ challenges the possibility of this kind of local control and looks at the „dynamic complexity‟ (p72) of interacting components of a system. No longer viewing organizations in isolation, but as acting in „circles of causality‟ (p73), he suggests how organizations adapt to one another. This „learning organization‟ model initially seems to open up new possibilities for guiding change through influencing system-wide behaviours (p101), but ultimately, the goal of comprehending the „indivisible whole‟ (p368) seems unreachable. More problematically when Senge asserts (p10) that „teams, not individuals, are the fundamental learning unit in modern organizations,‟ he falls foul of Cooke-Davies et al‟s (2007) warning:
Research that takes ideas and treats them as if they were objects […] is built on shaky foundations. Unfortunately […] there is a tendency in practitioner literature to reify processes, and in literature derived from organizational theory to reify social groupings and organizational units. This results in a blurring between objects and ideas and a lack of methodological integrity.

For 3,5-diamino-2,4,6-trinitropyridine the predicted density reaches 2.2 g ·cm~(-3),and the smallest bonder order of C—NO_2 bonds is slightly smaller than that of DATB,implying that 3,5-diamino-2,4,6-trinitropyridine is a high density,low-sensitive explosive.
In , the detonation of a solid high explosive was used to produce population inversion in the gas mixture CO2-N2-He(H2O).
The NEZND theory identified the nonequilibrium excitation processes that precede and follow the exothermic decomposition of a large high explosive molecule into several small reaction product molecules.
Thus an analytic formula with two parameters of high explosive (i.e.
Shock response of the commercial high explosive Detasheet
The mechanical and chemical response of the flexible commercial high explosive DetasheetR is studied under controlled impact and plane-wave, high explosive loading.
The convective combustion of porous gunpowder and high explosives is an intermediate stage in the transition from layered combustion to detonation [1, 2].
A study is made of one-dimensional nonstationary problems of the combustion and detonation of aerosuspensions of unitary fuels or propellants, which contain the oxidant as well as the combustible material (gunpowder, high explosives).
The structure of detonation waves in air suspensions of unitary fuels (fuels containing an oxidant such as gunpowder and high explosives) is investigated.
An improved method for measuring the electric conductivity profile behind the detonation front in dense high explosives has been developed, which provides for a spatial resolution better than 0.1 mm.
A mechanism of the initiation of hotspots in heterogeneous solid high explosives was considered.

A doctor-patient bond is just invincible. It says - medicines cure diseases, but only doctors can cure patients, quite helpful to acknowledge the necessity of physicians consultation with their patient. Thanks to telemedicine consultation services that save time and improves the regularity rate.
But like two faces of a coin, there are certain concerns that keep evolving from time to time. Some of these are:
- Reimbursement of medic claim
- Lack of Sufficient Data for Care Continuity
- Privacy Concerns for customers
And, that’s exactly where telemedicine consultation company comes into the big picture.
How do we stand as your safest bet?
- Once the primary care physicians (PCP) get him/her enrolled at Vitals Care, they can schedule the patient's consultation including the Vitals Care Technician visit.
- Certified technicians visit the patient’s residence after verification for vital support home care.
- The Vitals Care Technician will upload the data to the doctor's account, and the consultation will begin after the vitals are taken.

Our simple recipe for chocolate gummies is better than just chocolate covered gummy bears.
Ingredients for making chocolate gummies:
- 5 tbsp gelatin powder
- ½ cup cold water
- 400ml can of coconut cream
- 1.5 tsp vanilla extract
- 1.5 tbsp maple syrup
- 4.5 tbsp DUST cacao infusion of your choice or normal raw cacao powder
How to make gummies
Step 1: In a small bowl, thoroughly stir the gelatin powder into the cold water. Let it sit for around five minutes. It should ‘bloom’ and get jelly-like.
Step 2: In the meantime mix the coconut cream with the rest of the ingredients (vanilla, maple syrup, cacao powder). You will need to heat up the coconut cream until it is steaming, really hot. Add the maple syrup, vanilla and cacao powder, and stir until everything is well dissolved.
Step 3: Mix the gelatin with the delicious coconut cacao cream. Blend until the gelatin lumps are gone for the best tasting result.
Step 4: Spoon or pour the chocolate gummies mix in the moulds. We use silicon gummy moulds from biome, with cute little gummy bear, worm and fish forms.
Step 5: Let the finished mix cool down for a bit before putting it in the fridge until the gummies are hardened. This should take a few hours, so we prefer just leaving them in the fridge over night.
In case you don’t have any moulds at home, no worries, simply pour the liquid chocolate gummies mix into Tupperware. Let it cool down and then cut into bite-sized pieces.
Did you know gelatin boasts many wonders?
Its unique amino acid profile provides health benefits for improving:
- Joint and bone health
- Appearance of skin and hair
- Brain function and mental health
- Gut health

Don’t worry, chewing is normal! In fact, dogs of all ages chew for a number of different beneficial reasons. Puppies can chew to relieve pain that might be caused by newly growing teeth and for older dogs, it’s nature’s way of keeping jaws strong and teeth clean - or maybe they’re just bored!
Chewing can be an issue though, especially if your house is usually pristine and not used to a puppy roaming around! So here is some advice from Junior so you don’t have to ignore the gnaw, but instead can champion that chomping!
‘Puppy-proof’ the rooms that your little doggo has access to. There should be nothing accessible that might be unsafe if your pup gets a hold of it - same applies to the fragile and valuable!
Some pups chew out of boredom - ever found yourself chewing a pen lid in a meeting? Say no more. You can relieve boredom and or/excess energy by frequent training/play sessions - the same works for your puppy too!
Providing safe chews and toys will act as a source of entertainment as well as a calming relief from teething. It may help to freeze aloe vera juice and gently rub on your puppy’s gums, which is also soothing.
Our partner, Goodchap’s, know a thing or chew about safe chews and toys. With their range of dog-loving, planet-protecting, plastic-free, biodegradable and eco-friendly chew toys - a bit of a mouthful! Pun intended. Click here to check them out: Goodchap’s.

After inventing a specialized coffee cup, Saratoga businessman Mitch Bangert is savoring in his success and earning acclaim from coffee lovers worldwide.
For his growing coffee cup business, the Small Business Administration (SBA) recently announced Bangert had won the Wyoming Small Business Exporter of the Year Award, and the Region VIII Small Business Exporter of the Year Award, which includes entries from North and South Dakota, Montana, Utah, Colorado and Wyoming. Bangert's business goes by the name Offero, LLC, and features six different types of cups and two different types of glasses.
Bangert was presented the two awards he received for Offero, LLC during last evening's chamber social, held at the Platte Valley Community Center.
Four years after his idea developed, Bangert is now experiencing global export sales and well-deserved accolades. Offero, LLC now has several patent designs, is exporting to 10 countries and is working on trademarking.
The company was also the winner of the Specialty Coffee Association of America's 2012 Best New Product.
Bangert has been a panelist at the Wyoming Idea Expo, and has mentored other local entrepreneurs. He said was surprised to win both awards out of all the submitted entries.
"They called me up one day and said I won Wyoming's exporter of the year, and then they called me up four days later and said I also won the Region VIII one," Bangert said. "It's really humbling and very cool."
Bangert's road to entrepreneurial success began in 2010, when he was at a coffee tasting in Colorado. He said he recalled the host of the tasting asking him to cup his hands behind the Dixie cup he used for drinking, so the chocolate notes in the coffee could be better enjoyed.
Realizing an idea for a cup that could better enhance a coffee's aroma, Bangert came up with a design for a 12-ounce coffee cup featuring an extended back that covers up more of the nose while drinking.
"Three months later I had a model that I really liked, and I went out and found a manufacturer that would make me 5,000 cups," Bangert said.
After securing the manufacturer, Bangert launched the Offero line at the San Diego Coffee Fest trade show in June 2011. Since then, he has attended four Coffee Fest shows thus far.
"When I went to my first Coffee Fest, I thought 'people are either going to like this or they're not,'' Bangert said. "I thought 'if they're not, at least I've got 5,000 Christmas presents for the rest of my life.' But, people went nuts for it and really liked the design. I later ordered 60,000 cups from a manufacturer and got the office space at the Platte Valley Community Center."
Bangert said Offero cups are now represented in more than 20 countries, including South Korea, Taiwan, Brazil, Mexico and Canada. The company's sales are a combination of online, direct to distributors and wholesale client outlets.
After putting out 60,000 units last year, Bangert said he expects to surpass the 100,000-unit mark this year. He said he is now getting ready to open a warehouse in China to serve that region of the world.
"We're going to open up a warehouse in Shenzhen, China, and that's going to be our distribution point to Russia all the way down to Australia and New Zealand," Bangert said. "I'm working with a guy from Indonesia on it, and he's a young smart guy who knows what he's doing."

You have actually possibly found yourself because situation when you planned to implement a desktop computer client for well-liked on the internet solution like Twitter or even Pownce, but minority substitutes readily accessible for GNU/Linux carried out certainly not fulfill you. For example, I'm regularly searching for methods to enhance my work and, at one time, appreciate the eye-candy a procedure could possibly deliver. As Adobe released an Alpha variety from its own famous BREEZE runtime for Linux distributions, I decided to try it out along with a few procedures.
Just making factors very clear initially, Adobe HEAVENS is really still Alpha top quality, however there are actually a number of constraints on Linux so this may easily produce your system react odd. For example, on my Ubuntu 8.04 device, the archiver sees.air considers as storehouses and also goals to open all of all of them if I double select one. Prior to experimenting with AIR-based uses, you will definitely must install the runtime, definitely. You need to have binutils feeding on your system, as this will definitely be actually essential for the installation. The Adobe AIR installer comes as a.bin exe documents in addition to the setup procedure just has a handful of moments. After an effective setup, you may easily at that point happen to the applications produced alongside AIR.
When that associates with putting together Adobe AIR 2017 filehippo applications, the experience is actually extremely simple, due to the well-maintained seeming 'Adobe Doddle App Installer' software function. You are visiting realize the label coming from the app you're currently putting up, its own description, installment flavors (if you intend to feature an easy method on your desktop computer as well as if you would like to begin the request when the setup is actually ended up) as well as the create place (which is via default in the/ select folder).

Adobe SKY - You have actually perhaps been aware of Pandora, the business that permits you to hear on the web popular music.

Unfortunately, if you are located outside the UNITED CONDITION, you can certainly not use this company as a result of licensing constraints. Anyway, in case you reside in the USA, you can utilize this request to effectively play/pause in addition to modify music stations as well as you may conveniently watch exactly what is actually participating in arising from the system mold. For the prominent bidding procedure service ebay.com, an application was produced, phoned "ebay.com Computer", that enables you to look, quote, check and a lot more.
One of the most efficient facet from Adobe DODDLE is in fact maybe that it allows a good deal off applications to become operated on a variety of functioning units without significant distinctions. When this is actually thorough, Linux customers are going to definitely relate to take pleasure in all the attributes found on the several other operating systems.
That is actually still not totally practical as well as some usages have a bunch from resources out of the system when they are actually functioning.
Although Adobe WIND continues to be in the Alpha stage, I consider this pretty trustworthy and also I am actually using it to jog some popular treatments like the ones I discussed above. In the honest construct from HEAVENS for Linux, our crew are heading to potentially see the applications function the ways they should - definitely not totally, nonetheless at the very least with 20-30% over only exactly what our team've acquired right now.

Jack, who died in 1951 aged 39, is remembered in Whithorn for his contribution to this struggle with a plaque outside the shop where he once worked, but his dedication to the socialist cause has polarised opinion in the town and beyond.
His supporters admire his dedication to a cause he felt passionately about, his stoicism about his physical limitations, after enduring countless operations due to serious injuries sustained in the Battle of Jarama, while his detractors say he was a deserter from the British Army whose recognition in the town takes attention away from the local men and women who lost their lives serving in British Forces in two world wars.
A book entitled ‘Good to be Alive - the story of Jack Brent’ by Stanley Harrison gives a more in depth insight into this controversial character who was proud of his roots in the Royal Burgh.
The book, published in 1954, three years after Jack Brent’s death, traces his arrival as a baby from Canada into his grandmother’s care in Whithorn. The severe hardship of that hand-to-mouth existence left a deep mark on the young George and sowed the seeds of his lifelong dedication to a communism ideology which he profoundly believed was a fairer way of life, away for the class divisions so entrenched in the early 20th century.
Aged 21 and sick of grinding poverty and the lack of prospects in Whithorn, one day he left his job in a butcher’s shop in the town, put on his best suit and ran off to join the Cameron Highlanders. But he soon realised he had made a mistake. He hated it and longed to escape. He was young and got into trouble resulting in two spells of detention in the ‘Glasshouse’ or military prison. Posted to Aldershot he was made a lance-corporal and put in charge of a clothing store, where the civilian clothes were kept. He saw his chance, stole a three piece suit and escaped to London. He then hitched back home to Whithorn with the red caps on his tail. His brother recalls in the book: “We kept him up the stairs for about a week. I gave him all the money I could give him, ten shillings. He got the bus to Stranraer and that was the last we saw of him for about ten years.”
Finding himself alone and destitute in London he got work where ever he could find it. This was the time of the Hunger Marches, the Means Test and demonstrations in every town by the unemployed. Seeing the widespread poverty in the working classes, the man now known as Jack Brent was galvanised against capitalism.
As the cloud of fascism in the shape of Hitler and Mussolini grew dark over Europe, civil war erupted in Spain when the fascist generals, led by Franco, rose in rebellion against the Spanish Republic, Jack joined the International Brigade and travelled to Spain in October 1937 to fight for democracy there.
At the battle of Jarama, Jack answered to call to help bring in the wounded and he was shot through the spine as he stooped over an injured man on the ground. From that moment, until his death, his life was punctuated by long sells in hospital and a series of operations that resulted in the amputation of one of his legs.
The book is based on much of his correspondence with friends and details his devotion to promoting the ‘fight for the workers’ in this country. He had a voracious appetite for books and knowledge and was once the guest of Communist Party in Czechoslovakia where is was installed in a nursing home for further medical treatment to ease his pain.
Despite his fragile health, Jack Brent worked tirelessly as secretary for the International Brigade in London during the Second World War and was an ardent campaigner for the release of Brigader prisoners of war languishing forgotten in jails and concentration camps in Europe and North Africa after the war ended.
Jack personality and dedication to this cause meant that many were saved from certain death by Jack and the International Brigade Association who brought their plight to the ears of the public. Year after year he championed his cause in any way he could - from standing on a soap box to selling the Daily Worker in the streets of the capital to getting signatures for his peace petition.
But his heath was failing fast and he returned to Whithorn in 1951 where he died in his sleep at the home of his brother. In those last few weeks of his life during a golden autumn in Galloway, his heart was filled with hope of converting “the lads” in the town to socialism. To his delight he got three sheets of signatures for his peace campaign but his many impassioned lectures on communism fell on deaf ears.
Jack Brent despised fascism and fought against it like may others in the last century. His socialist beliefs are shared by many but just as many disagree with his politics strongly.
And therein lies the pearl at the centre of any debate concerning George Dickie/Jack Brent - the fight against fascism, in all its forms, undertaken in many fields of conflict, gave us a society with freedom of speech to express our opinion openly without fear of reprisal.

The Research and Development team of the company specialized in the production of auxiliary insects for agriculture is currently working on a number of projects aimed at tackling a few major problems, such as the case of leaf curl in courgettes. This virus disease, first discovered in India and never before seen in the province of Almeria, was detected in the early stages of the campaign.
Agrobío's team of researchers is currently looking for solutions to this problem, which has caused severe damages and spoiled entire plantations.
"It is a rather new issue, but we are conducting analyses and solutions will come. We don't know when, but we are working on it," stated the manager of the company.

PARIS — Luxury shopping — recently tainted with guilt issues related to the economic crisis — should not be marred by worries that paper shopping bags are destroying valuable rainforests.
To that end, Gucci Group said Tuesday it was joining forces with Rainforest Action Network, a San Francisco-based environmental group, to eliminate paper made from Indonesian rainforests and other controversial suppliers.
“Standing rainforests are not a luxury, they’re a necessity if the world wants to stop climate change,” stated Mimma Viglezio, Gucci Group’s executive vice president of global communications.
The paper policy compels all the group’s brands — from Balenciaga to Yves Saint Laurent — to reduce paper use, eliminate those containing fibers from forests of high conservation value and to purchase recycled paper certified by the Forest Stewardship Council, all by December 2010.
The Rainforest Action Network has been campaigning companies to sever ties with suppliers like Asia Pulp and Paper, charging them with actively destroying Indonesia’s rainforests. According to the network, Tiffany & Co. and Hennes & Mauritz are among fashion companies taking efforts to “clean” their paper supply chains, from what goes into photocopiers to cash-wrap materials.
Loss of forests is blamed for about 20 percent of greenhouse emissions, with deforestation in Indonesia blamed for a carbon footprint greater than all the trains, planes and automobiles in the United States.

It is not known whether she would have been a main housewife or a friend of, but she would have appeared in season five, alongside Glanville, Kim and Kyle Richards, Yolanda Hadid, Lisa Vanderpump, Eileen Davidson, and Lisa Rinna.

Maximizing end-of-year revenue relies on creating high donor-retention rates and creating a sense of urgency at the end of the year.
During a session on making donors feel like heroes at Fundraising Day in New York, Farra Trompeter, vice president of agency Big Duck, and Will Nolan, senior vice president of Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy, addressed the importance of retaining donors by making them feel important and thus increasing end of year giving.
The average gift to organizations on December 31 is $223, doubling the $110 average gift the rest of the year. Building dramatic tension through a timeline of roughly six weeks, from Thanksgiving to December 31, compels donors to give. By increasing the frequency of posting as the deadline draws nearer, a sense of urgency is created. Seeing this dramatic appeal, donors understand the importance of the mission and understand their roll in the process.
For example, beginning an email campaign in late November with an introduction, seven appeals throughout December including three emails on the last week of the year, and a report-back and thank you after the end of the year, creates a flow of communication and urgency in the last week of the year.
This sense of urgency, in combination with reporting results back in all channels, celebrates not only the achievements of the organization, but also the donors’ impact. Donors can also be celebrated through hand-written notes and personal phone calls from staff or volunteers.

Monarch to rise in Oklahoma City's Midtown
Midtown Renaissance Group, which has been focusing on smaller infill over the past couple of years, is resuming new development with plans set to build a four-story office building along Robinson Avenue.
The partners, Bob Howard, Mickey Clagg and Chris Fleming, own dozens of residential, retail and office properties in Midtown with major developments including the Twelve Twelve Building, the Guardian Garage, Fassler Hall, Plaza Court, the Packard Building and the Buick Building.
Construction of “Monarch,” 1133 N Robinson Ave., is expected to start next month with completion by April 2019. Clagg and Fleming say the address has the advantage of being a half block from an OKC Streetcar stop and is within walking distance of an array of restaurants and shops.
“If you're in the Central Business District, it could take 15 minutes from your office to get out of your parking garage before you're even on the road to drive to your destination,” Clagg said. “Midtown is only a couple of streets away from the CBD, but that 15 minutes turns into two or three minutes. It's kind of the best of both worlds. It's very walkable while still be being drivable.”
From the ashes
The new building will be built on a vacant lot that for several decades was the site of a mansion that was once home to Guardian Funeral Home. Midtown Renaissance bought the property and then sold it to a group that was planning to redevelop to become home to the Oklahoma Foundation for Digestive Research.
That plan ended when the building caught fire a few days before Thanksgiving in 2008.
“Some homeless people were in there trying to keep warm,” Fleming said. “All that was left was a garage in the back and it was a charred skeleton.”
Midtown Renaissance repurchased the property in 2011 and has used it for parking ever since.
“It's been two to three years that we've been talking about the site,” Fleming said. “We did some did some plans and we liked the direction the project was going. We worked with a couple of tenants that got us excited, but things happened with those potential tenants so we had let it drop.”
A tenant is now committed to one of the four floors, enough, Fleming said, to start the project. He added the development group has long wanted to infill the large gap between what is now the Guardian Garage to the south, home to apartments and Garage Burgers, and the Art Deco Stryker office building to the north.
“It's sat dormant,” Fleming said. “It's just used for parking and we feel like there is the ability for there to be parking and a building on the site.”
'True urban feel'
The 54,00-square-foot building will consist of glass, steel and masonry construction with a two-story parking structure to span a portion of the block going west from Robinson. Space for a second, future building, is being reserved on the west side of the block that will act as a bookend to the parking.
The building is designed by architect Brian Fitzsimmons and will be built by Lingo Construction. Fitzsimmons said the building is designed to fill “a missing tooth along Robinson” and provide “a true urban feel to the street.”
Fitzsimmons said the building at ground level starts out with a white steel facade that will be at the same height as the Guardian Garage and Stryker buildings. The top two “glass box” floors, meanwhile, will have a slight setback from the street.
“It will feel like the same pattern for pedestrians,” Fitzsimmons said. “It feels as if you are walking down a corridor with two-story buildings.”
The parking, about 200 spaces, is expected to accommodate Monarch tenants and those patronizing the Garage burgers and other adjoining businesses.
The Monarch is the first exclusively office space being built by Midtown Renaissance, which has pursued mixed use at most of their larger developments.
“We don't want to dilute where we have retail on Walker and then move the center of that to Robinson,” Fleming said. “It wouldn't be good for anybody, existing tenants and new tenants. We have two existing restaurants already on this block and when you think about the parking demand for that and then all the restaurants added in the neighborhood, it's one of those things that is not high on our radar to do on this site.”
Fleming would not identify the tenant signed up for the building, but he added the lease is enough to allow construction to get started.
“Having a tenant for part of the building is helpful,” Fleming said. “In Oklahoma, it's very hard to lease a building that is not built. You're basing a building on renderings or plans. Having a tenant allows us to build a building that isn't 100 percent speculative and one we want to see built for movement to continue in the neighborhood.”


Fuel.Filter For Airdog
Do Air Purifiers Actually Work?
Professionals weighs in on whether purifiers can really filter out germs, dust, smoke, mold, and more.
How do air cleansers work?
Air cleansers normally consist of a filter, or several filters, and a fan that absorbs and flows air.
As air moves through the filter, pollutants and particles are caught and the tidy air is pushed back out into the home. Usually, filters are made from paper, fiber (typically fiberglass), or mesh, and require routine replacement to maintain performance.
What are air purifiers supposed to filter out and do they actually do it?
Most filters on the market are designed to capture particles like dust and pollen, but don’t capture gases like VOCs (volatile organic substances) or radon. That would need an adsorbent, like activated carbon. In fact, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) alerts that the performance of air cleansers is limited in regards to filtering out gases, which you need to frequently change filters for optimal functionality, generally about every three approximately months.
Numerous air cleansers are good at filtering contaminant particles out of the air (dust, smoke, pollen, etc.), but they are not always great at eliminating gaseous toxins like VOCs or radon from the air that may build up from adhesives, paints, or cleansing items. Irritants that are embedded into furniture or flooring are also not recorded by them.
Additionally, the effectiveness of air purifiers in real-world situations likely won’t simulate those of regulated conditions in a lab (what those “99% effectiveness” claims are describing!). The location, setup, circulation rate, and how long it is running for will all vary, as will the conditions in the space. In addition, there are other things happening in your house that might effect the effectiveness like ventilation (open or closed windows), and brand-new particles are constantly emerging, so the air might not as filtered as the claims might have you believe.
If you are concerned about mold, we ‘d advise buying a dehumidifier or humidifier to assist preserve the proper wetness levels in your home and fend off mold growth problems. Air purifiers do not avoid mold growth, so it is essential to get rid of the source of wetness that is permitting it to grow.
Can air cleansers filter the outside air that enters your home?
Often, non-organic air contaminants like the VOCs we mentioned formerly can stem from outside your house. “There are all sorts of circumstances in structure fires where big dosages of smoke inhalation might lead to cyanide toxicity. That would largely need to be somebody who was standing directly in or near the fire: Those individuals are brought to emergency situation rooms instantly,” Dr. Roten discusses. “Typically, outside pollution or smoke or short-lived bad air isn’t a consistent issue for spectators.” However the right sort of purifier can deal with any ecological air qualities in your location. Using nearby wildfires as an example, Dr. Roten includes that a HEPA filter-equipped purifier is your best option: “Anything that has a real HEPA filter in it is most likely adequate enough to filter out a lot of all the big particles that would be concerning,” he says. “Most of the smoky odor will also be resolved also.”
What should I try to find in an air cleanser?
CADR (clean-air shipment rate) rating. This measures the cleaning speed of the purifier for removing smoke, dust, and and pollen. Try to find a CADR of a minimum of 300, above 350 is truly fantastic.
For correct effectiveness, you require a design developed to work in the room size. Choose a design that is developed for an area larger than the one you are equipping it for if you want to run it at a lower, quieter setting.
AHAM (Association of House Device Manufacturers) Verified mark AHAM’s requirements are style to make sure the safety, performance and efficiency of many home care home appliances, including air cleansers. The standards are created to supply a typical understanding in between manufacturers and customers to assist make the buying procedure simpler. While voluntary, the majority of trustworthy air purifiers have undergone this accreditation program, which often offers a CADR ranking and size standards.
Real HEPA. Real HEPA filters work at eliminating ultra fine particles (think: dust, dander, pollen, mold and other common allergens in the home). The market requirement for such is that the unit should have the ability to get rid of a minimum of 99.97% of particulates measuring 0.3 micron diameter in a laboratory setting. Remember, it is essential to note that in real life settings, the real efficacy of these gadgets would be far less as brand-new contaminants are constantly emerging. Note that there is no industry requirement for the terms “HEPA-like” or “HEPA-type,” and are mainly used as marketing tactics to get consumers to purchase the item.

Norfolk, with its stunning and diverse landscapes and coastline and rich wildlife, attracts many visitors each year to this beautiful area. But for people interested in the County's wealth of animals and plants, the question often arises: where to go to see particular species and when? Norfolk Wildlife provides the answers in terms of wild animals and plants, more especially mammals, birds, butterflies, dragon- and damselflies and orchids, where and when best to see them, along with very useful suggestions about suitable apparel and footwear for particular sites, information on-site as well as local facilities, and lists of the species you are likely to see at each location. Whilst Norfolk Wildlife is not an identification field guide as such, it is a valuable complementary guide, providing essential information, more especially for those visiting Norfolk for the first time, on how to discover for themselves the diverse habitats and the amazing local wildlife.
Adrian M. Riley is the author of numerous books about wildlife, including field guides, for example his best selling British and Irish Butterflies and Arrivals and Rivals: Duel for the Winning Bird, the latter about his aim to see as many bird species as possible throughout the British Isles within a single year. Adrian was born in Birmingham, but grew up in Shropshire where his deep interest and knowledge about wildlife, especially butterflies, moths and birds, first took root. For many years he worked as a professional entomologist and moth recorder at the world famous Rothamsted agricultural research station in Harpenden, Hertfordshire. For the past 20 years, he has lived in Norfolk from where he provides wildlife tours, both within the county, the UK and mainland Europe.
"A super book (now on my Christmas list!) for anyone who lives in East Anglia, or visits the popular and rich wildlife sites in Norfolk. [...] You may already have your own favourite Norfolk site, which may or may not be covered in what can only ever be a bit of a personal choice, but you will definitely be tempted to visit a selection of new and unfamiliar sites and explore the wealth of wildlife found there after reading this book. I’d love to see a Suffolk volume!"
– Su Gough, BTO book reviews
"Many naturalists will know already that Norfolk is a special location for birdwatching. This guide opens your eyes to the many other wildlife highlights the county can offer, with locations and advice given on how to see not only birds, but also butterflies, dragonflies, mammals, amphibians, fish and plants. [...] Despite a few inaccuracies, this book is well laid out and easy to use, it has many fine photographs, and is a useful guide for those visiting Norfolk for the first time."

It's been a brilliant year for film with Guardians of the Galaxy and X-Men: Days of Future Past leading the pack at the box office. Both were intelligent, fun popcorn movies that delighted fans across the globe.
It was also a strong year for animated films and comedy - Phil Lord and Chris Miller's The LEGO Movie was one of the surprise hits of 2014, while the pair also proved that comedy sequels CAN be good with 22 Jump Street.
On the drama side, flicks such as Gone Girl, The Fault in Our Stars and The Imitation Game were among the jewels in the crown.
But looking ahead to 2015, there are SO many exciting movies that we can't help but predict it'll be the biggest year EVER for the global box office, giving the economy a much-needed boost.
From Avengers to Star Wars, there's a LOT to be excited for.
Check out Mirror TV's rundown of the biggest releases of 2015:
1. Into the Woods (January 9)
An all-star cast including Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, James Corden, Johnny Depp, Anna Kendrick and Chris Pine star in Disney's fairytale musical based on Stephen Sondheim's musical. The perfect way to start a magical year of cinema!
2. Selma (February 6)
This Oscar contender stars British actor David Oyelowo as Martin Luther King Jr. and tells the dramatic story of his civil rights march from Selma to Alabama, Montgomery, to secure voting rights for African Americans. Oprah Winfrey co-stars.
3. Fifty Shades of Grey (February 13)
Mr. Grey will see you now - and he'll see you naked. Jamie Dornan and newcomer Dakota Johnson star in this steamy movie adaptation of E.L. James' erotic novels. Dornan plays bondage-loving billionaire Christian Grey in the kinky flick released just in time for Valentine's Day.
4. Cinderella (March 13)
Disney re-tells the classic princess fairytale in a new live action adaptation directed by Kenneth Branagh. Downton Abbey's Lily James plays Cinderella and Game of Thrones' Richard Madden (RIP Robb Stark) plays Prince Charming. Cate Blanchett is the Wicked Stepmother.
5. The Divergent Series: Insurgent (March 20)
Shailene Woodley, new teen icon, returns for the second Divergent film in which Tris searches for allies and answers in the dystopian ruins of a futuristic Chicago. Tris and Four (Theo James) are on the run from the evil Janine, played by Kate Winslet.
6. Fast & Furious 7 (April 3)
Almost a year after it was supposed to be released, Fast & Furious 7 will come out in April and marks Paul Walker's final film role. The late actor reprises his role as Brian O'Conner opposite Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson and Michelle Rodriguez.
7. Avengers: Age of Ultron (May 1)
The original Avengers was the biggest box office success of 2012 and the sequel looks even more epic. The entire gang is back - Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and the Hulk - for the follow-up along with new faces Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) and Quicksilver (Aaron Taylor-Johnson).
8. Jurassic World (June 12)
22 years after Jurassic Park, the gates open again for another dinosaur theme park. Apparently the world hasn't learned from its mistakes and history will no doubt repeat itself as humans provide fodder to a T-Rex. Chris Pratt stars in the film fresh off his success in Guardians of the Galaxy.
9. Magic Mike XXL (July 1)
Ladies prepare for more stripping and flexing from Channing Tatum in the sequel to 2012's Magic Mike. He's back along with Joe Manganiello, Matt Bomer and Adam Rodriguez in the new movie. Sadly, there's no Matthew McConaughey though.
10. Minions (July 10)
The adorable yellow creatures from Despicable Me have landed their own movie and we can't bloody wait! In the film, a prequel to before they met Gru, the minions roam the world looking for an evil master to serve. Sandra Bullock and Jon Hamm provide voice roles.
11. Ant-Man (July 17)
Paul Rudd plays Marvel's next superhero, Ant-Man, in a movie that has been years in the making. Hot Fuzz director Edgar Wright was originally on board to direct but dropped out. The stellar cast includes Michael Douglas and Evangeline Lilly.
12. The Fantastic Four (August 7)
We have such high hopes for FOX's reboot of The Fantastic Four franchise after the awful original movies starring Jessicas Alba. The re-imagined movie stars a strong cast of young Hollywood up-and-comers including Michael B. Jordan, Miles Teller, Kate Mara and Billy Elliot himself, Jamie Bell.
13. Spectre (November 6)
Daniel Craig is back in the eagerly anticipated follow-up to Skyfall and we're pretty excited about the newly announced cast. The film will feature newcomers including Guardians of the Galaxy's Dave Bautista as Mr. Hinx, Christoph Waltz, Monica Bellucci and Lea Seydoux.
14. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 (November 20)
Jennifer Lawrence stars in the final instalment of the The Hunger Games franchise as Katniss Everdeen, the Mockingjay, leads the fight against the Capitol in an all-out war. The final film will feature plenty of action and some emotional punches.
15. Star Wars: The Force Awakens (December 18)
The world has been waiting and watching patiently for the release of a new Star Wars movie for years. In December 2015, the film finally becomes a reality with old favourites like Harrison Ford joining forces with a new crop of stars such as Oscar Isaac in J.J. Abrams' space epic.

The lava flow in Puna appears to be moving faster as it moves downslope on a path toward Pahoa and a major highway.
An overflight of the flow showed that lava advanced about 350 yards since Tuesday.
Hawaiian Volcano Observatory scientists say the lava has moved an average of about 890 feet a day since Monday, slightly higher than the rate of about 705 feet a day between Friday and Sunday.
The front of the flow is about 100 yards wide and is burning through vacant land in the Kaohe Homesteads subdivision.
“Currently the flow does not pose an immediate threat to area communities and area residents will be given adequate notice to safely evacuate should that be necessary. There is no brushfire threat at this time and all burning is limited to the vegetation that is in direct contact with the flow,” Hawaii County Civil Defense said in a statement posted on its website.
Smoke in the area was moderate to heavy Wednesday morning over the Kaohe area.
Volcano scientists said the flow is about 1.7 miles upslope from Apa’a Road. The lava has advanced about 9.9 miles from the Pu’u ‘O’o vent since it began on June 27. Measuring bends, the flow extends about 11.3 miles, the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said.
On Tuesday, Hawaii County spokesman Kevin Dayton said it looks like the lava will bypass homes in the Kaohe Homesteads subdivision.
He said that as of Tuesday, the lava was about 19 days from reaching Pahoa Village Road. The road is the main drag though Pahoa Village and from there, it could reach Highway 130. The highway is a lifeline for residents living on the Big Island’s Puna district.
Workers continue to prepare unpaved roads to be used as alternate routes in case lava crosses the highway.
