Published on in CHOP News
June 9, 2011 — Three writers from the Philadelphia Daily News visited CHOP for 24 hours on May 19 to gather information, photographs and video for a feature story called A Day in the Life of CHOP that was published today in a special section on innovation in the Philadelphia Inquirer, Daily News and on philly.com.
Everywhere the writers and photographers went, they were accompanied by at least one member of our Public Relations team. They covered the hospital — from the top to bottom — and interviewed staff and families from many different areas.
Our employees were welcoming to the writers and there was a tremendous outpouring of ideas shared by many programs. The article broadly showcases many of the programs, people and facilities at CHOP and shines a bright light on why we are a national leader and a regional gem.
The series was accompanied by an online chat on philly.com today at noon on June 9, and included the writers who visited CHOP and some of the families who participated.

See the information below for troubleshooting MATLAB Mobile connection errors.
1) Make sure MATLAB (R2012a or higher) is still running on your computer:
If MATLAB is not running and the connector is not running, you will not be able to connect. If MATLAB is still running, try turning off the connector by running:
Once off, turn it back on by running:
If the connector gives you an error message, you may need to reinstall the connector. In that case, follow the steps in the following solution:
2) Try the connector in your web browser from the localhost address:
Check to make sure that the connector is running on the specified port on your computer. To do so, open your web browser on the computer and navigate to:
(If you specified a different port number while installing the components, replace 31415 with your port number.)
If the connector can use the port, a message appears in the browser window, such as:
MATLAB Connector is set up correctly!
Otherwise, consider changing the port number to something other than 31415 (if you did not change the port during initial configuration). Valid values are from 1,024 through 65,535. For help selecting the port, contact your system administrator. For instructions on changing the port, see Changing the Port and Updating Connections:

* Prices may differ from that shownMore Offers
Bored stiff at the thought of soggy, flabby sandwiches and super-chilled salads (all at extortionate prices when bought from the local shops and chains near work), I was hunting for a way of taking hot lunches to work.
Having done a little research, I found a Stanley food flask that seemed the answer to my prayers.
The Stanley brand has been around since 1913 and are renowned (like the other well-known Thermos brand) for consistently offering good quality and strong durability in its products. This is supported in this food flask which comes backed with a lifetime guarantee! Any flask which the makers claim can last me 25 years with no issues is a great endorsement I feel.
~*~* Where to buy and prices *~*~
I bought my food flask from John Lewis in a gorgeous, hot pink colour, however I have noted the same flasks on sale at Amazon for the same price of about £18 in a lovely sage green colour and Lakeland.
~*~* The design *~*~
The flask has a lovely, robust design. The flask is about 19cm tall and has a width of 9.7cm. The capacity of the flask is 0.5litres which is more than enough for one person for a meal and, when empty, weighs 550g. The flask consists of a shiny, silver outer lid with a thick black rim which screws onto the top of the flask - this doubles as a bowl for the food contents.
Once this is unscrewed, the actual inner lid can be seen - this is made of black plastic with a thick rubber seal which screws tightly into the top of the flask. This is easy to screw into place and appears leak-proof and air-tight (so the scent of your food does not escape). This also means that your food remains hot inside the main insulated chamber of your Stanley flask. This chamber has a double wall, unbreakable stainless steel inner which offers ideal vacuum insulation (and assurance that you'll not have nasty broken bits of flask inner in your food!).
The flask is a gorgeous design - I love the pink colour and I've had many compliments at work for the flask. The front of the product also has a cool Stanley logo 'since 1913' badge on the front which gives a distinctive look.
Unfortunately, the flask does not have a handle on the side anywhere, so this may pose problems if you have dexterity problems as you have to get a good grip around the wide flask to carry it by hand.
The flask comes with a set of care and use instructions (in a variety of languages) which are easy to understand and a note stating that the flask should not be used to warm or keep baby foods or baby milk warm.
~*~* The road-test *~*~
The product is designed to keep hot food hot (or cold food chilled) for at least 7 hours. The instructions recommend preparing the flask by filling with boiling water (for hot contents) or ice water (if you want chilled) and let this stand for 5 minutes before pouring out and filling with your own food.
I 'road-tested' my flask by taking some gorgeous home-made chilli and rice to work, heating the chilli and rice up in the morning before work (at about 6.15am) to ensure they were piping hot. It was easy to spoon the chilli into the warmed flask using a large serving spoon and to spoon the rice into the flask. The inner lid screwed on tightly with no problem and there were no leaks. I then screwed the bowl outer lid onto the top of the flask, wrapped it in a plastic bag (I was a bit scared of leaks!) and off I went to work.
I had my lunch at about 1pm, so a fair way after filling the flask. I found that the flask had remained perfectly leak-free and there was no escape of food aromas before I opened the flask. I opened the inner lid of the flask to find a little condensation from the food but was really pleased to find my chilli and rice were still wonderfully hot and ready to eat - such a fantastic (and filling!) change to horrible soggy sandwiches! I used the outer lid as a bowl, pouring and spooning the chilli from the flask into the bowl which was a really handy size for eating out of. I was able to retrieve all of the chilli from the inside of the flask using my spoon with no problems and no amounts left inside the flask.
The flask is very easy to clean by hand, as the lids unscrew easily and the smooth surfaces clean with ease. I've also noticed that the flask outer lid/bowl and inside of the flask do not retain any food scents or stains (an issue with some of the old-fashioned, plastic inner flasks).
I've since used the flask to take soup into work and I've found that this too remains wonderfully hot until lunchtime. The bowl lid is also very handy to dip bread into which is ideal.
~*~* The verdict *~*~
Overall, I'm really pleased with this flask - it has meant I have a 'ready to eat', hot meal at lunchtimes that tastes fresh and is healthy (rather than buying a supermarket ready meal) and means I'm not reliant on expensive chain lunch shops , work canteen or cold lunches brought into work.
My only criticisms would be that the wide design of the flask may make it hard to carry by hand (I always put mine into a bag to carry to and from work), particularly as there is no handle or carry strap, but this is a minor oversight I feel. I haven't tried the flask to carry chilled items, but if my delicious hot lunches are anything to go by, I'm sure it'll work a treat!
When I was working I made my own lunch to take to work, as I wanted to save as much money as possible. During the cold weather the prospect of a soggy sandwich for lunch wasn't all that appealing, so I bought myself a flask to keep my food hot until lunchtime. There was only one rubbish microwave at the last place I used to work and there was always a queue to use it, but with my new flask I could just tuck into my lunch whilst everyone else was waiting to nuke their food.
I chose the Stanley Food Flask as I associate the brand name with good quality as they have been around since 1913.
This flask has a nice wide neck so it's easy to fill and dispense your soup or whatever meal you want to keep warm. The capacity is 0.5 litres, which is plenty for a lunchtime meal. The flask is stainless steel and the screw on lid is plastic with a chunky rubber seal to retain the heat and it has never leaked. The cup that goes over the lid is a really generous size so it makes a great bowl to eat out of.
It does take some forward planning to use it, as you have to heat your food up in the morning and then transfer it into the flask. But this little bit of time and effort is worth it to have a nice hot meal at lunchtime and it really does keep food warm for 7 hours (something I was a little bit sceptical about before I bought it).
Now that I'm not working, I still use my flask to store hot water so that I can top up my cup of green tea throughout the day.
It can also keep the contents cold too, so it would be perfect to use for a picnic now the sun is shining!
It is quite a chunky flask and the one I have doesn't have a handle (I have read there are ones available with a handle somewhere!) so it's easiest to carry it around in a bag.
They cost £17.61 from Lakeland, which might seem like a lot of money, but it's something that should last many years.
A wide neck and a decent sized cup make them ideal for chunky broths and casseroles, with the contents being kept piping hot for up to 7 hours.

Call of Duty Vanguard started the next chapter for the Call of Duty franchise, but not without the obvious bugs and glitches that have tarnished every COD title in recent years. Players have already spotted a nasty bug in the game that is keeping players from unlocking a prestigious camo.
Known as the Assassin Proficiency bug, this glitch is stopping players from earning the Automaton Mind Games camo. Camo grinding is one of the most important aspects of any Call of Duty game, and players spend days and weeks using the same weapons to unlock pretigious camos for them.
The Mind Games camo requires Call of Duty Vanguard players to kill with a set objective, but the Assassin Proficiency bug stops players from meeting that objective. This article will explain the bug and provide an alternative that players can use to get the Mind Games camo, despite the glitch.
What is the Assassin Proficiency bug and how to get rid of it in Call of Duty Vanguard
For the Automaton Mind Games camo, Call of Duty Vanguard players are required to get ADS-only kills with the Automaton and the weapon needs to be equipped with the Anastasia sniper barrel, Embrepp Broadsword stock, and Assassin Proficiency.
While the other two are physical attachments to the weapon, Assassin Proficiency is a perk that adds a bit of extra ability to the weapon. There are multiple other proficiencies in Call of Duty Vanguard. However, Assassin proficiency is still not available in the game, because the devs have not added it to the list of attachments. This makes the objective of unlocking the Mind Games camo impossible for players.
This is either a bug or an error from the devs who did not cross check the camo objectives with the attachments available in the game. While there is no official word from the devs at the moment, players have found out a way around the bug.
Multiple reports have claimed that adding the Frenzy proficiency in place of Assassin bypasses the bug. This might also mean that the devs made an error while naming the camo objectives.

Players can try out this process to unlock the Mind Games or wait for the official notice on the fix, which should arrive soon.

For anyone who enjoys trains or history of the railroad system, the small picturesque museum that sits directly on the historical L&N train depot is an adventure to see. Dating back to 1881, Milton Florida offers a chance to step back in history with original architecture, railway tools, and trains! Milton is within the heart of the Florida Panhandle, and the museum has an incredible amount of information for any railroad history lover.
The site sits in outstanding condition. The historical love behind trains and the railway depot is obvious. It is easy to become in awe as soon as you pull off of Henry Street and into the parking lot. There are at least four trains for public view and some are available to step up on the stairs that lead into the car. It is fascinating to see firsthand the size and strength of an enormous piece of metal that once traveled thousands of miles across the state of Florida and the United States. Peer inside the train windows and find yourself transferred to a time almost 140 years ago.
Inside the museum you will find the original waiting area and ticket counter, a mail room, unique railway tools, clothing, pictures, signs, light systems, parts of the original control center, oil canisters, heating stove, model trains, phone booth with Morse code technology, and much more. There is also a collection of unique model train magazines dating back to the 1960s for customers to sift through and take as a souvenir!
Besides the trains and unique gadgets to fall in love with, the structure itself is fascinating. Enormous pieces of lumber make up the overall depot structure with original hinges and door locks still intact. Hard to imagine all the incredible stories of the passengers that once awaited the next train to arrive. Not to mention the economic impact that the railway system had on developing communities.
The museum is family friendly and a wonderful experience for children; especially those die hard train enthusiasts. Unique memories and conversation came out of our family trip to the West Florida Railroad Museum. Perhaps your next adventure will do the same. All aboard!

HGH (Human Growth Hormone) Human growth hormone is a natural hormone that our body creates in our younger, adolescent years to enable growth of bone, muscle and other soft tissue(i.e., "soft tissue"). HGH is known to be useful for bone and muscle recovery, and in some cases, for treatment of obesity and some forms of cancer. It is produced and stored as a type of "vitreous fluid" in the body by several tissues including the adrenal glands (the glands located just behind our kidneys in the chest region where they secrete the hormones GH and IGF-1), which are found in the adrenal gland; the testicles and ovary; and the brain, and is released into the bloodstream after the release of glucose (also found in blood), when food consumption occurs, growth hormone produced by.In 2009, the Food and Drug Administration officially placed the human growth hormone (or "hGH") in the list of drugs known to carry a heightened potential for abuse, hgh somatropin effects. This action followed a complaint filed by the American Academy of Pediatrics and other organizations who warned that because of its well-known and well-studied safety profile, growth hormone use poses significant health threats to children, especially boys.With the approval of pediatricians and physicians, more and more children are being encouraged to take HGH supplements, growth hormone for height. Although the medical community generally agrees that HGH supplements are safe, in most cases they are not always, and in many cases they are not completely safe. For that reason, there are a number of legitimate reasons why children over the age of 13 should not take HGH supplements, hgh somatropin anti aging. HGH may not be absorbed correctly from a bottle or canister as it has to be broken down within the body and it can also be absorbed differently than in the intestines. Although there are various forms of HGH available to children, most are manufactured by pharmaceutical companies to meet the increasing demand of a rapidly growing market. Some forms, such as the "human growth hormone" used in HGH inducers, are manufactured as a chemical byproduct of the manufacture of human growth hormone, human growth hormone benefits. Therefore, it is not necessarily a form of natural HGH. In fact, some manufacturers of these HGH byproducts, sometimes referred to as "biochemicals," may actually be synthetic versions of hormone ingredients that are derived from the manufacture of HGH. One example of such a biochemicals is IGF-1, hgh somatropin genopharm.In the context of HGH, the difference between natural and synthetic is more important than it may seem on first glance, growth hormone definition. Although synthetic hormones are often referred to as "natural", those are actually synthetic substances that have undergone significant processing and processing chemicals.
Hgh side effects
One of the side effects is infertility in men which is caused by the less production of testosterone hormone as a result of HGH cycle. In men with the same low levels as HGH cycle, sperm production usually is less.

Candidates planning to run in the 2018 Senate races are already in pre-campaign mode and are working to establish themselves in the public eye. One candidate, V.A. Shiva, is an Indian Republican in Massachusetts who will be running against Elizabeth Warren.
Shiva emigrated from India at just seven years old. He is already making headlines for calling out Warren for lying about her ancestry.
Last week, Shiva posted a controversial tweet aimed at Warren, challenging her to take a DNA test:
— V.A. SHIVA (@va_shiva) May 21, 2017
In the video, the candidate says:
“Wow, this is great I just got my 23 and Me DNA testing kit in the mail. All I got to do is send some of my saliva and I will know in a few short days whether I am a real Indian or not.
I want to challenge Elizabeth Warren to do the same. I’m calling this the Real Indian vs. Fake Indian Challenge. Elizabeth why don’t you do this? It’s really, really simple.”


A new report prepared by the Duke Law International Human Rights Clinic (IHRC) and the Women Peacemakers Program (WPP) looks at the effects of countering terrorism financing (CTF) measures on women’s rights organizing, women’s rights organizations, and gender equality globally, especially in areas of conflict or at risk of terrorism.
Tightening the Purse Strings: What Countering Terrorism Financing Costs Gender Equality and Securityoutlines the complexities of the global CTF regime and its effects on gender equality and places them in international human rights law framework. In the aftermath of 9/11, the international community turned to the financial system as a way to fight terrorism. The US government took a prominent role in standard-setting, as did the intergovernmental Financial Access Task Force (FATF). Banking institutions were also drawn into the mix and became enforcers of many of these new standards.
While civil society as a whole has suffered under this regulatory scheme, women’s rights organizing and organizations have been impacted in a particularly acute way because of certain characteristics. The report notes, “Highly reliant on foreign funding and often in receipt of short-term or project-based funding, women’s rights organizations have little financial resilience, are nascent or newly-established, are relatively small and often operate at the grassroots level, and already often face some degree of financial exclusion.” Women’s rights organizations also frequently work on controversial and social change-related issues, meaning that they sometimes in conflict with their own governments.
The report aims to highlight the seemingly overlooked gender and human rights implications of these CTF policies and to begin to “fill these gaps in understanding how responses to terrorism and violent extremism may, in practice, undermine gender equality.” It assesses the international human rights law compliance of these measures with “obligations, such as prohibitions on both direct and indirect discrimination on the basis of sex and gender and guaranteeing freedom of association, assembly, and expression, including in ensuring access to resources.”
The report found “that women’s rights and their defenders across the globe are frequently squeezed between terrorism and violent extremism on the one hand, and counter-terrorism or preventing and countering violent extremism (P/CVE) on the other.” A survey of grassroots women’s organizations undertaken for the report revealed that 86.67 percent of respondents classified their organization’s work as contributing to combatting terrorism and violent extremism, but that 90 percent said that CTF measures had an adverse impact on their work.

GREAT BASIN NATIONAL PARK - A rifle made in 1882 has been found propped against a tree in a remote area of a national park in Nevada.
"Numerous questions surround the small piece of American heritage found and recovered by Great Basin National Park archaeologists in November," according to a post on the park's Facebook page. "The 132-year-old rifle, exposed to sun, wind, snow, and rain was found leaning against a tree in the park. The cracked wood stock, weathered to grey, and brown rusted barrel blended into the colors of the old juniper tree in a remote rocky outcrop, keeping the rifle hidden for many years."
With help from records kept at the Cody Firearms Museum in Cody, Wyo., officials at Great Basin National Park were able to determined that the rifle was manufactured and shipped in 1882, but details of who bought the rifle and where it was shipped were not available.
Known as the "gun that won the West," Winchester made 720,610 of the rifles between 1873 and 1916, when production stopped.
The rifle found in the park will be sent to conservators to stabilize and protect its condition, preserving the piece as it was recently found, according to the park's post. When that work is done, the rifle will be returned to the park and displayed as park of the park's 30th birthday and the National Park Service's centennial celebration....
The story behind this has to be amazing. I'm sure it was more along the lines of a lone cowboy struggling to survive against Indians, mountain lions and the elements that didn't make it, versus Little Mark done went and lost the rifle Pa bought him. Lucas McCain would never approve of these storage methods and bushwhackers would have taken the weapon. I bet they find bones nearby that may have been ingested.
Circle of life Simba.

Have you felt a heaviness inside you?
A feeling that surfaces when nothing is going your way,
Or when things are looking too optimistic,
A gnawing dark feeling,
That terrible things have happened before,
It can happen again,
Words that stung, incidents that left you wounded,
The accomplished lives of others that piqued your envy,
You carry this feeling with you forever,
It’s dormant at times but it’s not gone,
It sits there waiting to be sparked,
Waiting for you to welcome it once more,
It’s not your fault that it grew like mold inside you,
You were chewed up and spit out,
It was easier to let it take hold of you and blossom,
You want to feel light, secure and happy,
You are trying to check-in to the airline,
But they ask you pay up,
”you have excess baggage” they say,
You have to make a decision on the spot,
Let the excess baggage go or pay the hefty price,
The extra suitcase was going to be a burden on my journey.
Will I choose to let it go?

Oxford's Low Island are by far one of my favourite new bands of the moment, with the incredible tracks That Kind Of Love and Holding It Down under their belts. In the run up to some live shows across the country they're releasing a new seven track EP, kicking it off with The Lines, a track as energetic and punchy as we've come to expect from the band - an instant dance floor filler. They've followed it up recently with the second tune from the EP, the comparatively gentle but equally (if not more so) beautiful Tomorrow. Carlos from the band has performed a live session of the track in a 1930s Art Deco music hall for the wonderful people of the Mahogany Sessions, and it's making me incredibly jealous of those who caught their stripped back set at Sofar Sounds Oxford for Amnesty International last week! Check out their upcoming tour dates here - including two nights at London's Corsica Studios in November.

The installation of Wi-Fi in a company poses five main challenges :
- Continuous mobility
A managed Wi-Fi solution allows companies to configure and work remotely, dynamically and outsource all the wireless access points in the organization’s different locations.
The administration of the devices is carried out delegated from the cloud and also allows the generation of statistics to analyze visitors’ or employees’ behavior.
The possibility of analyzing everything that happens on the network facilitates establishing visitor loyalty indicators.
Which can remain applied in commercial premises such as restaurant chains, banks, department stores, networks of clinics, and offices, among others, to identify the hours in which there is more customer presence.
This technology may have cybersecurity services for companies associated by the provider such as the design of the network, the configuration, and installation of the same, the use of security platforms such as VPN, Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW), Detection systems Intruders (IPS), Anti-phishing and Unified Threat Management (UTM).
Five Benefits of Managed Wi-Fi
1. Simplicity and Costs.
When hiring this service, companies that opt for managed Wi-Fi should not worry about buying, installing, and maintaining expensive Access Point (AP) or hiring technical personnel for administration.
By reducing investment and internal management costs, managed Wi-Fi is gaining ground as the best wireless Internet option for businesses.

3. User and Guest Management
By having full control of the Wi-Fi network, it is possible to establish access policies for users and also guests. IT guarantees the same user experience for each profile.
4. Bring Your Device (BOYD)
Managed Wi-Fi allows your company to adapt to the trend of workers bringing their own devices to the workplace, delegating the management of policies and service settings to the provider.
5. Interaction and Acquisition of Potential Clients
With a managed Wi-Fi service, it is possible to establish a captive portal to interact with customers through campaigns displaying specific advertising, collect data in exchange for free Internet, find out what your customers like and more. These are some of the possibilities that managed Wi-Fi provides.
Managed Wi-Fi is an excellent option for companies in the process of digital transformation. It is improving internal connectivity with a robust network that can remain segmented from workers and customers.
With the application of new labor practices such as BOYD. Managed Wi-Fi is an excellent option for reducing operating costs such as necessary telephony rents.

Panasonic VP Bob Harris says the company is number one in the sale of plasma displays, with the ability to produce nearly five million units annually and with plans to increase productivity to 11 million in 2007. At the recent CES, Panasonic introduced a 103-inch unit, which will be on display at NAB, along with 37-, 42-, 50- and 65-inch professional models.
Panasonic will also show its P2 line at NAB. The company introduced its first camera last year - the AG-HVX200 - and is now shipping product. The new multi-format P2 DVCPRO HD products that will be on display at NAB can record in 720p, 1080i or 480i formats. P2 DVCPRO HD products offer full bandwidth, contribution quality HD with independent intra-frame encoding, 4:2:2 color sampling, and less compression, making HD content easier and faster to edit and more able to stand up to image compositing versus long GOP MPEG-2 systems. In addition, they are backwards compatible with existing DVCPRO50, DVCPRO and DV-based facilities.
At this year's show, the company will introduce a full-sized, shoulder mount, P2-based HD camcorder that's designed for news acquisition. The AJ-HPC2000 will feature five P2 slots, three 2/3-inch CCDs and 14-bit A/D processing. The camcorder will offer high sensitivity, F10 at 2000 lux, and will be able to capture images at a minimum illumination of 0.032 lux (at +62dB). An SD card slot will also be included for recording and replicating setup information. Panasonic plans on delivering this unit in November.
The AJ-HPS1500 P2 HD studio recorder will debut at the show and will feature five P2 slots, along with two additional slots for removable drives (spec to be determined). The unit will feature a jog/shuttle wheel that emulates tape shuttling, along with a built-in 3.5-inch color LCD display. The AJ-HPS1500 is designed to serve as a bridge between high definition and standard definition, with the capability of optional downconverting and upconverting between SD and HD recorded material. The AJ-HPS1500 will incorporate G-bit Ethernet, USB 2.0 ports, IEEE-1394 (AVC), and HD-SDI, as well as SD-SDI input/outputs. It too will be available in November.
Designed for field work, the portable and compact AJ-HPM100 recorder/player incorporates a nine-inch widescreen LCD monitor, a six-slot P2 drive, an SD card slot, a jog/shuttle dial, function buttons, stereo speakers and AC/DC operation. The recorder is high definition/standard definition switchable and records in DVCPRO HD, DVCPRO50 and DVCPRO. The unit can play back with upconverting and downconverting between standard and high definition formats. With 8GB cards in the six P2 slots, the AJ-HPM100 can record for 192 minutes in DVCPRO, 96 minutes in DVCPRO50, and 48 minutes in 1080i and 720p.
Panasonic's AJ-PCD20 internal/external drive is designed for high-speed file transfer of DVCPRO HD, DVCPRO50 DVCPRO video into nonlinear editing systems and servers. A user can mount five 8GB P2 cards (containing up to 160 minutes of recordings in DVCPRO, 80 minutes in DVCPRO50 and 40 minutes in DVCPRO HD) at the same time and have access to the contents on all five cards for continuous editing of recorded clips in sequence.
As an internal drive, the AJ-PCD20 installs in a standard PC type 5.25-inch bay drive enclosure, and through its high-speed USB 2.0 or IEEE 1394b interfaces, connects to the host computer. For in-the-field use, the AJ-PCD20 serves as a standalone external drive and teams with a notebook PC or Mac PowerBook for editing and playback. The drive offers Windows 2000/XP and Mac OS X compatibility.

I have 44 sensors and consequently 44 sensor temperature values from database.
The number of sensors changes according to the data time.
The total number of sensors exported from the Revit model is 101.
The problem is that when i want to set the temperature parameter to my elements in the model they have a different number (101) than the detected temperature values (in this case 44).
I would like to filter my list of elements (Revit.Elements in blue) based on the list of sensors detected by the database (System.String in red), or any other method to find a solution.
Thanks to all

Every athlete or a film star or celebrity wants to get six-pack abs in the shortest time. We mostly watch them achieve that goal in months but we think they have used some kind of magical medicine. Maybe they used but the question is are weight loss pills safe for health? A lot of American is overweight and when you are overweight, you want a quick fix pill. There is no pill on the planet that can quickly lose weight. Pills may help your body to burn calories a little bit faster but you need to be consistent with your diet and exercise. (Understand the health insurance plans).
A pill that helps you lose weight:
If there was a magic pill, I’d have a line from Las Vegas to Washington of people to get that pill at any cost. These are all fix-it jobs that people use. The answer to the question is straight “No”. There is no pill that will help you lose weight but here’s what happens when you take weight loss pills.
- Pills sellers get rich
- You got side effects
- You may gain more weight
Here’s the thing, there’s nutrition or diet, there’s exercise or sleep and there’s something called a blood test. That can check the hormonal imbalances in your thyroid.
Scientific reasons for weight loss pills:
If you are a woman it’s your thyroid and your ovarian system. When you look at all of these parameters you can help a person learn to eat scientifically. The issue in today’s world is that people are consuming more calories than they require. I have studied for more than 72 hours before writing this article about are weight loss pills safe? I came to the conclusion that you need three meals a day breakfast, lunch, and dinner. This was a model designed by the industrial revolution to feed factory workers. In today’s age, we do not use our muscles, we use our brain, we are desk jockeys.
Why do we gain weight faster?
We use only our fingers and our brain to work, we use machines to work faster, and obviously, the use of muscles is less now. Therefore we need to use our muscles in the gym, running, or any kind of exercise that helps us burn more calories.
We should walk 3 to 4 miles a day but we average walk 500 meters a day. My point to you is this, energy expenditure has shrunk, eating has increased because of affluence.
What actually works?
Controlling your diet. I have several articles on diet plans. Secondly, you need to set a routine for workouts at home or the gym. You can use different types of tools and machines that will help you burn more calories. First, you can decide what type of machine or tool suits your physical condition. If you are smart enough to use the Ab roller can use it will help you get six-pack abs if you are consistent and stick to your diet. But if you are heavy and also a beginner, you will feel difficulty using the Ab roller for workouts. In my opinion, the fastest fat-burning machine is a stationary bike because you can set different levels to your capacity. There are so many tools and machines with guidelines on this website you can find out. (Foam roller exercises).
How to set goals without weight loss pills?
Mark the date of the day within a week. From which you will start dieting and exercising properly. In days before that date, you can make a plan and routine for diet and workout. In the beginning, you can exercise 3 to 4 days a week and follow a diet plan on the same days. Weight your body that day you start your journey. I am sure that when seeing results after 2 weeks you’ll appreciate yourself and try working more. I was 50 KG and when I started workout and dieting, my goal was to gain weight. When I see the results after 1 month I was 55 KG. Then I started working hard more to gain muscles and weight and after 3 months I was 65 KG. So, seeing results are important to stick to the plan. In the end, weight loss pills are not safe for health even weight loss pills have no effect on your weight.

Gerard Boon, founding father of Boon Brokers, says: “Since March 2020 our properties have wanted to be multi-purpose in a means they by no means have earlier than. For many people it has introduced what we would like from our properties into sharp focus – which has then led to the choice to maneuver or undertake house enhancements, to get what we’d like.”

Here I am sitting in my living room, watching The Briefs on ITV. I love watching programmes like this as it really shows how the justice system works and it also makes the people who are clients on here look like the scum that they are.
The bloke who was blackmailing Mrs Rooney should have just been shot from day one because he is a complete waste of space. He walked out of court and went to the pub because he was “too stressed” and he failed to turn up to his appointment with his Lawyer. He just doesn’t care about the crime he has committed, which is making him look even more guilty than he already does. He is just pure scum. He even turned up to court in a beanie hat and a tracky! He is trying to make a jury believe he is not guilty and he turns up looking like he couldn’t even give a shit about being there. Its pathetic.
As for the 60+ year old woman who was arrested for the possession of drugs with the intent to supply, well she deserves everything she gets because she is just wasting the tax payers money by being on trial. Just put her behind bars and there might be a slight chance that she might reform, but I seriously doubt it.
The man who was getting advice on his charge of burglary has had 22 previous convictions of burglary so he is obviously guilty. Is there any point in actually going through with a trial for this person? He is guilty, he has admitted as much, so why are they even bothering with a trial?
It makes me wonder about how the government can’t see that there needs to be a reform in the justice system. I mean surely the best solution would be to bring in the death penalty? That way there would be no repeat offenders and therefore less offences would be committed and that would also mean that it would be impossible for repeat offenders to offend again.
Would that not make the country a better place to be? Would it not help the tax payers if they didn’t have to pay for trials and the up keep of these offenders once they have been sentenced to how ever many years in prison? It shouldn’t be up to the people who bust their guts at work to pay for the people who break the law, surely it should be down to the families of the offenders?
My theory would be to bring in a system where the offender gets sent to prison as long as their family can pay for their upkeep, as soon as they can’t afford it and if the offender has been sentenced for an indictment crime such as murder, manslaughter, rape etc, then they should just be put to death. That way the tax payer doesn’t have to keep the offender and the offender and their family has to take some sort of financial responsibility for the crimes committed.
But of course my theory wouldn’t be seen as fair, it would be a breach of the offenders Human Rights and all that crap so the justice system will continue to be soft on offenders and unfair on the victims. And they say there’s justice in the world?

Live, love and laugh along with the Queen of America and her menagerie of characters.
As a first time reader of this authors work, I was quite surprised by Urrea's writing style. His Queen of America is definitely not what I expected, in fact it was better than I expected. The main character of this book, Teresita, on who the story is based, actually existed, although most of the book is fiction. Urrea has a pre-sequel to this book, which I have not yet read, however this did not affect my reading of Queen of America, as it did not read like a sequel. I actually was completely surprised to learn Teresita was actually a real healer in her time back in the early 1900's instead of a fictitious character. This I did not note until after I read the notes and acknowledgement section at the end of the book.
Urrea's quirky style of writing and his list of characters remind me of a western-style movie with comedy scattered throughout. Teresita, her family, and friends are all characters one quickly feels comfortable with and the ongoing saga made it was difficult to put this book down. Being of Hispanic descent but not Mexican, I understood some of the Mexican words scattered throughout the book, while other times I had no idea what the word might mean. However, this did not in any way keep me from enjoying this book and I laughed out loud many times throughout this book. At other times it I was so caught up in the characters it was as if I was family. Teresita seems like the average poor Mexican, however, she also has a gift of what this generation may call healing of the hands. A term that back in the 1900's was considered by some to be witchcraft and at times she is ostracized for it. This book was an amazing adventure of love, laughter, pain and sorrow as Teresita lives her life, at times traveling across the continental United States. Urrea's words seem to carry you, when you feel the heat of the desolate desert or the scraping of the horse between your legs, while winding through the hills of Arizona. At other times you are riding on a windowless, dusty train through hills and valleys of the Old West with awe and wonder at the first glimpse of a creek bed or river, or maybe even the ocean. What may happen next? The wonders seem to never cease for what Teresita's next contingency may be. Yet in the end, Teresita finds exactly what she is longing for.

This book is a sequel to Luis Alberto Urrea's previous book The Hummingbird's Daughter and continues the saga of Teresita as she flees to America to escape the tyranny of the Mexican government's efforts to politicize her and denigrate her faith and her dedication to tending to the poor and sick peasantry. Told with a bit of irony and humor, the story is compelling and is a page-turner. Teresita, to the dismay of her father and the rest of her family, continues her ministrations to her devoted followers, now in America. During her mission of service, she is taken advantage of by shady American grifters eager to use her popularity and mystique among the poor and downtrodden for profit. This is a story of survival and redemption. I enjoyed the book immensely, especially Urrea's writing style, although I must say that if I hadn't read The Hummingbird's Daughter first, I might have been somewhat lost in understanding Teresita and the Urrea family.

Delightful and engrossing!
The incredible journey in the United States of Teresa Urrea, "la Santa de Cabora," is conjured vividly by her relative, Luis Alberto Urrea. This novel continues the story he began with "The Hummingbird's Daughter." It combines real historical figures and events with vibrantly imaginative characterizations. Although the book is quite long, it is thoroughly engrossing. Anyone who enjoys E.L. Doctorow’s novels will probably love this. It gives voice and depth to Mexican-American and Indian history and life at the turn of the twentieth century. There is so much substance and interest here that it would be a great choice for book clubs. I'm going to recommend it for mine!Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

Urrea pens a masterful tale with richly developed characters. For me, Queen of American is even a better read than The Hummingbird's Daughter, perhaps because as Teresita matures into womanhood, we find a very beleiveable human being who only wants to be a woman and to serve God. Yet, she must move across the country as she seeks to survive and find some semblance of peace.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.
