The crypt is ready Last rites are read But in the coffin I am not dead. You'll never know the horror Of being called death For inside this earthen chamber I am breathing my last breath. Tears are shed Mournful strife Flowers strewn As you burry life. I hear the resounding clang Of the consecrated bell Holy water chills my face But why can't you tell. I can not move I am trapped inside Don't bother to exhume I have already died. Don't just stand there Fucking help me With the lid closed I can't even see. How cold the grave. 2. vengeance is mine. Side 2 - unholy grave "Anger explosion".

Sheet Music and Tabs for Nunslaughter. Nunslaughter was formed in Pittsburgh in 1987 by Don of the Dead (bass) with Jer the Butcher (guitar), Gregoroth (vocals) and Behemoth Bill (drums). NunSlaughter began spewing forth the sonic vomit known as Death Metal. Taking lessons from the learning experience of their earlier bands DEATH SENTENCE and BIRD OF PREY, they shunned the confines of a studio in favor of the oppressive darkness of a basement tomb to record their first demo in 1987.

1 Day. 100 Miles. The idea sounds impossible to most of us, but that’s the challenge Ashley Lindsey faces in Solstice, which documents her attempt to finish the Western States 100 Mile Endurance Run in California’s Sierra Nevada mountains. The world’s oldest and most prestigious 100 mile trail race, Western States runners travel from Squaw Valley to Auburn, battling bitter cold, stifling heat, and their own mental and physical limitations along the way. From mountain peaks to river canyons, runners climb over 18,000 vertical feet and descend nearly 23,000 feet on this ultimate challenge for long distance runners.
“Solstice” takes us inside Ashley’s experience as a rookie attempting to run 100 miles for the first time. Featuring appearances by Gordy Ainsleigh, Topher Gaylord, Anita Ortiz, and Ken “Cowman” Shirk, this is a story of one woman’s attempt to prove that “impossible” is just a word.
With Solstice, Director Andy Hofman takes an unconventional approach to the traditional documentary; it’s unlike any other film about running. The goal was to create something that gives the viewer a peak into what the actual experience of a rookie attempting to finish a 100 mile race looks and feels like. Keeping the audience in the moment as much as possible, he stays away from tangential story lines like the history of the race, how Ashley trained, etc. His plan was to create an “impressionistic” look at her experience which hopefully conveyed what it might have felt like to her. From mountain peaks to tranquil alpine forests to sweltering canyons, Andy focuses on the changing environments and the passing of time to tell a visual, as well as emotional, story.
An Official Selection of The Wild & Scenic Film Festival and The Artemis Women In Action Film Festival, Solstice has proven to inspire and motivate a range of viewers from runners training for their first 5K to veteran ultra-marathoners. Additionally, this film is aimed at anyone who is striving towards a goal that at one time seemed unimaginable, whether it’s to finish a race, write a novel, open a restaurant… whatever it may be. Through Ashley’s story, Solstice will challenge its audience to attempt something they always felt was impossible to achieve in their own life.

A leaf damaged by mining moths (left) compared to one faking it (right).
A plant that pretends to be ill has been found growing in the rainforests of Ecuador.
The plants feigns sickness to stop it being attacked by insect pests known as mining moths, which would otherwise eat its healthy leaves.
It is the first known example of a plant that mimics being ill, and could also explain a common pattern seen on plant leaves known as variegation.
The discovery is published in the journal Evolutionary Ecology.
Variegation is familiar to gardeners and affects many species of plant. Variegated plants have different coloured patterns on the leaf surface, produced by a variety of causes.
One of the most common is when cells in the leaf lose chlorophyll and their ability to photosynthesise, appearing white.
In theory, plants with variegated leaves should be at a disadvantage, because of this restricted ability to photosynthesise.
But a chance discovery by a team of botanists suggests this may not be true after all. Instead, some variegated plants may be mimicking illness to avoid being eaten, putting themselves at an advantage.
Sigrid Liede-Schumann and colleagues Ulf Soltau and Stefan Dotterl of the University of Bayreuth in Germany were studying understory plants in the forest of southern Ecuador, when they noticed that the plain green leaves of a plant known as Caladium steudneriifolium were far more frequently damaged by mining moths than those of variegated leaves of the same species nearby.
Mining moths lay larvae into the leaves, and the caterpillars then munch through the leaf surface, leaving a white trail of damage behind.
"The similarity of the variegation patterns with the criss-cross munching traces of the larvae led to the idea that maybe they deter the mining moth from laying its eggs," says Liede-Schumann.
To test the idea, the researchers used white correction fluid to mimic the appearance of variegation on hundreds of healthy leaves.
After three months, they then counted the number of leaves affected by the mining moth caterpillars, comparing green leaves, variegated leaves and those painted white to appear variegated.
A mining moth caterpillar leaves a trail of damage.
"The results were the same," says Liede-Schumann. "Visibly variegated leaves were significantly less frequently damaged by mining moth larvae than plain green ones."
While moths infested almost 8% of green leaves, they infested 1.6% of variegated ones and just 0.4% of those painted to look like they were variegated.
"I was quite surprised," says Liede-Schumann.
She believes that the plant essentially fakes being ill, producing variegated leaves that mimic those that have already been damaged by mining moth larvae. That deters the moths from laying any further larvae on the leaves, as the insects assume the previous caterpillars have already eaten most of the leaves' nutrients.
"The fact that there are both plain green and variegated leaves in the population indicates to me that both are useful in the long-term success of the species," says Liede-Schumann.
The reduction in a variegated leaf's ability to photosynthesise is likely to be more than offset by the benefits of not being eaten, the researchers believe, suggesting that variegation survives in wild plants because it confers a selective advantage.

When the Edmonton Oilers told Sheldon Souray not to show up for training camp, the consensus was that they made the hard-shooting yet prohibitively expensive defenseman that much tougher to trade. In the process, they also forced themselves to pay him $4.5 million this season to play for another team’s AHL affiliate after placing him on waivers.
The Oilers are trying to reduce his cost by putting him on re-entry waivers this weekend. Jim Matheson reports that Oilers GM Steve Tambellini said he wouldn’t put Souray on re-entry waivers unless another team said they would scoop him up, leading to speculation that he might be claimed by the Dallas Stars or New York Rangers.
If those two teams or any other club picks up Souray, they will need to pay half of his remaining salary this season (about $500K) along with half of his $4.25 million salary in 2011-12. The toughest part might be the cap hit: both the Oilers and the team that claim him will incur a $2.7 million cap hit for next season and a pro-rated cap hit for the remainder of 2010-11 as part of the re-entry process.
It’s not the ideal scenario for Souray or the Oilers, but at least the team can drop the facade that a talented (if flawed) defenseman really deserves to play in the minors even as the pro team flounders in last place yet again.
The Stars, Rangers or whatever other team(s) might be interested have 48 hours to make a claim, so we’ll keep you updated regarding this situation during the weekend.

Marshall County approves ordinance requiring sheriff’s office to pool fees
MARSHALL CO, Ky —
The Marshall County Fiscal Court approved an ordinance on Tuesday that puts the county in charge of the sheriff’s department’s budget. The ordinance calls for fee pooling, which means fiscal court will control all money collected by the sheriff’s office.
"I wasn’t in favor of it, but fiscal court decided that’s what they wanted to do," said Marshall County Sheriff Kevin Byars.
After Marshall County Fiscal Court unanimously passed the ordinance, Byars said the new county law won’t stop him from protecting you.
"At this point, I pledge to continue to do that and work with commissioners to continue to provide services and protection to the citizens," Byars said.
Judge Executive Kevin Neal says the new ordinance allows fiscal court to understand where taxpayer dollars are being spent.
"You have to have the details, the open communication. There’s information that we don’t know down at the sheriff’s department," Neal said.
The idea of fee pooling isn’t new. The McCracken County Sheriff’s Department has been fee pooling since the late ’80s or early ’90s. McCracken County Sheriff Jon Hayden takes paperwork to the county treasurer each month that lists his fee revenues and expenditures.
"That’s basically what we will receive each month," Neal said.
Neal says Marshall County will follow similar guidelines. Rather than meeting once to approve the sheriff’s budget, the sheriff will turn in monthly reports.
"He’s still the sheriff, still the elected official, and he’ll run the sheriff’s department. But, as far as the money flow, it’s going to flow different, and there’s going to be some accountability," Neal said.
The ordinance comes after county leaders say an audit found the department was over budget a few years ago. The audit says in 2010 the department was $57,836 over budget. It says in 2011 it was $35,644 over budget.
Byars says there were oversights, and every year since he followed state auditor recommendations to make sure it didn’t happen again.
The ordinance goes into affect in January. Neal says the county treasurer already met with the sheriff’s office to go over the new process.

Recently a series of unusual animal sculptures were constructed on rocks in a Galway housing estate in the Ballinfoile area.Cast in metal, these representations of Irish wildlife are located in green spaces across the estates of Baile na gCoiste and Ard na Choiste.
These sculptures are strikingly beautiful and powerfully realistic.
So well done to the Galway City Council and the local residents' association for this wonderful initiative that will become I believe an important tourist attraction..
More importantly, I earnestly hope that their presence will inspire increased awareness amongst local inhabitants of the importance of protecting the endangered real life versions of the rabbits, hares and foxes wildlife that live nearby in the Terryland Forest Park, which in itself in under threat from encroaching built development.
Window of Opportunity Now Exists to Put in Place a Pedestrian, Cycling & Public Transport Infrastructure for Galway City & End Car-Centred Roads Nightmare
A shorter version of the following article (written in my capacity as a Galway City Community Forum representative) appeared recently on the front page of the Galway City Tribune...
In an attempt to help solve Galway City’s growing traffic congestion and secure major state funding for the construction of a sustainable transport infrastructure, the Galway City Community Forum requested direct talks with the Minister for Transport Noel Dempsey TD requesting on the issue.
According to Brendan Smith, a member of the Forum’s steering committee, “The quality of life in our city is being seriously eroded by the environmental, social, economic and health damage caused by over-reliance on private motorised vehicles as the primary mode of transport. Decades of bad planning in our developer-driven society has created a car dependency urban sprawl that will take at least a generation to rectify.
But there is now a window of opportunity being presented by the Government’s recent action plan entitled ‘ Smarter Travel – A Sustainable Transport Future’ which promises for the first time to put people rather than vehicles first with a firm commitment to invest in walking, cycling and public transport as primary modes of transport. The relevant government ministers have talked about giving funding priority to suitable applicant cities. So the onus is now on all local sectors of Galway society to lobby to ensure that it is our city that is a chosen urban location for this crucial state investment. Hence our decision to request an urgent meeting with the Minister for Transport Noel Dempsey on this issue to convince him of the suitability of Galway for this investment and the benefits that it would bring to its inhabitants. We will also be meeting with local politicians and local election candidates to discuss our sustainable transport policies. For since its inception in 2000, Galway City Community Forum has played a crucial part in transforming city transport policy though its active membership of relevant partnership committees and we were for instance amongst the earliest advocates of light rail and quality bus corridors. However we are very concerned that key elements of these policies are being ignored. In early 2002, Galway City Council was a signatory to the Galway City Development Strategy that promised to make Galway a Safe, Child-friendly, Disability-friendly, Pedestrian-friendly, Cyclist-friendly City by 2012. It was agreed by all partners that one way of achieving this core objective was by carrying out a feasibility study into the development of a sustainable Galway Integrated Transport Strategy where pedestrians would be given priority in roads infrastructure followed by cyclists, then public transport users with car-users being at the lowest end of the hierarchy.
Yet seven years on, City Hall as the lead partner has still not carried out this foundation blueprint. Whilst initiatives such as Walking to School programme are to be applauded, nevertheless they will ultimately fail if the roads infrastructure is not radically altered to accommodate the safe ‘free-flow’ of pedestrians and cyclists. Sadly, the latest published programme of works from the Galway Transportation Unit (GTU) seems to belong to a discredited era as it once again gives priority to the old outmoded system of more roads for more cars through its emphasis on prioritising the construction of an Outer Bypass. It talks too of ‘improving’ cycling infrastructure, when in fact there is no city-wide infrastructure to being with. Likewise it makes no significant mention of pedestrians.
So the Forum is now publicly calling on City Hall to honour its transport commitments as signed off in 2002 which are supposed to be completed by 2012.
One way for City Council to make up for lost time and lost ground would be by immediately requesting the Irish government to consider Galway as a pilot scheme for the government’s Smarter Travel Action Plan as well as applying for funding under the EU CIVITAS programme. Whilst our university city is at the opposite end of the spectrum in terms of providing a pedestrian-cycling infrastructure to that of comparable cities such as Oxford or Cambridge, nevertheless there is still a critical mass of local inhabitants that use transport alternatives to the private car and many others that could be enticed out of their cars should a safe suitable environment exist.

DENVER, Nov. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- After debuting to widespread praise and publicity, the Colorado Convention Center's innovative Blue Bear Farm faces a new challenge: winter. While the farm has been producing fresh, grown-on-site produce, herbs and fruit for Convention Center hospitality partner Centerplate and their chefs, the winter months and freezing temperatures pose a deadly threat to many of the farms 2,000 plants. Centerplate created the farm in conjunction with Denver Mayor Michael Hancock's Denver Seeds initiative, and is now launching an equally creative solution to find these fragile plants a warm winter home – Denver's first "Adopt-a-Pot" program.
Across Denver, civic and business leaders are already volunteering to house Blue Bear Farm plants between now and May, 2013. Up to twelve sets of pots, containing plants like Cranberry Red Single Hibiscus, Lemon Licorice and Rosemary need to be adopted. The "early-adopters" include Mayor Michael Hancock, the Denver Office of Arts and Venues, Denver Seeds, Visit Denver, Centerplate, Karsh and Hagen Public Relations and CU Denver, which will house their plants in their sustainability classroom. Produce Denver, which maintains Blue Bear Farm, will also feed and water the plants throughout the winter.
"When we committed to the Blue Bear Farm project, we weren't just giving our guests and chefs the freshest Colorado produce, we wanted to make an investment that would help Denver by creating local jobs and putting the Colorado Convention Center on the map as a green, sustainable facility," says Des Hague, President and CEO of Centerplate. "It's been amazing to see how many Denver leaders have been willing to help us, and have stepped up this winter to provide a home for these plants."
With over 5,000 square feet of growing space, Blue Bear Farms is projected to grow 1,800 pounds of fresh fruit and vegetables in its first year, 3,600 pounds in year two and will ultimately reach over 5,000 pounds in years four and five. Two on-site beehives also produce fresh honey, contributing to a total planned garden of over 2,000 fruit bushes, herbs, perennial plants and flowering bulbs, including: spinach, squash, tomatoes, eggplant, basil, and strawberries. Centerplate chefs include the fresh produce from the farm in dishes such as the traditional Colorado Green Chili and fresh homemade salsa.
Centerplate crafts and delivers "Craveable Experiences. Raveable Results." in over 250 prominent entertainment, sports and convention venues across North America – annually serving over 100 million guests. Centerplate has provided event hospitality services to 15 official U.S. Presidential Inaugural Balls, 13 Super Bowls, 21 World Series, the 2010 Winter Olympic Games, and the largest plated dinner in history at the Alpha Kappa Alpha Centennial Celebration. Last year, the company was named the fastest growing restaurant/ hospitality group in the country by Nation's Restaurant News. Visit the company online at www.centerplate.com

Ask someone to architect an Internet of Things (IoT) solution and you are guaranteed to see a reference to the cloud. This would lead you to believe that IoT requires the cloud to exist. However, there are many IoT use cases where the cloud is not feasible or desirable. In his session at @ThingsExpo, Dave McCarthy, Director of Products at Bsquare Corporation, will discuss the strategies that exist to extend intelligence directly to IoT devices and sensors, freeing them from the constraints of ...

3.8/5 rDev -6.4%
2013 corked and caged 750ml bottle.
A good pop when I pulled the cork out. Despite a careful pour, I still get a 3 finger head of billowy foam. The colour is orange yellow and cloudy.
It smells spicy and fruity and yeasty. Coriander, very light clove, apple and probably peach.
The taste has the spice with the clove being more aggressive, coriander, and the fruit I mentioned in the smell. Some sweet flavour but also a mild hop bitterness in there as well. It finishes very dry. Alcohol is not intrusive.
Medium bodied and not too shabby a drinker, this is nice.

4.24/5 rDev +4.4%
Poured from a corked & caged 750 mL bottle into a Brewer's Art goblet. Gentle hand. Dated 02/05/2013.
A: Cloudy, golden yellow body with 1+ finger of sudsy, but thick, white head. Good retention. Impressive lacing.
S: Mellow, sweet Belgian yeast with a touch of spice. Coriander. Lighter clove. Grape, pear, apple, peach. Honey. Wheat notes, straw. Vanilla. There is some bubble gum and cotton candy that bring a certain uniqueness to this one.
T: Round, yeasty sweetness with a fruity character. Mild hop bitterness develops. Fairly dry finish and rather clean. A slight bit of lingering fruit on the aftertaste. Low alcohol presence for 10% ABV.
M: Moderately high carbonation with a moderate body. Simultaneously creamy and refreshingly effervescent. The latter helps offset the alcohol.
O: Very nice Belgian blonde with good complexity. Sweet, but lots of character, I thought. All around solid and dangerously drinkable for a 10%er.

This is a easy and quick way to make a feedback oscillator from old tapedeck. You just need to connect the rec input with output. You can do it by soldering wires between the in and out lines (r in to r ou and l in to l out) Most homestereo tape players use rca connectors and you can use them as your outputs. You can also do this without soldering if you have proper wires to do the connections ( few rca wires and Y shaped rca adaptor for output from feedbackloop). Press rec/play to get it working. Frequency of the oscillator is adjusted by turning the tapedecks rec level knobs. The singnal is quite strong so I do not recommend you to plug this to your most expensive or fragile sound gear.

Also called seborrheic dermatitis, dandruff is a common skin condition. About 11.6 percent of the general population has it, according to Thomas Berk, M.D. and Noah Scheinfeld, M.D. Among infants in their first three months, the prevalence of seborrheic dermatitis, or “cradle cap,” is 70 percent.
The symptoms are believed to result from too much skin oil being produced and irritation from malassezia, a type of yeast. This results in white skin flakes.
While many people have dandruff on the scalp, seborrheic dermatitis can occur on other parts of the body. For example, people may have symptoms behind their ears, middle of their chest, eyebrows, lips, outer ear, eyelids and nose creases.
The Cleveland Clinic notes that seborrheic dermatitis on other body areas can result in patches of skin that appear scaly, red or greasy.
So who gets dandruff?
MedlinePlus noted that seborrheic dermatitis seems to run in families.

RESEARCH TALKS: Augmented Depression Therapy (ADepT) to Enhance Wellbeing After Loss
FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC | ONLINE ONLY (VIA ZOOM) | 1 CE HOUR AVAILABLE (FOR A FEE) | REGISTRATION REQUIRED
Professor of Clinical Social Psychology, University of Exeter, UK
ABOUT THE EVENT
It is increasingly recognized that anhedonia (a loss of interest and pleasure) and broader deficits in wellbeing are core to depression and not satisfactorily treated by current mainstream psychological therapies. Augmented Depression Therapy (ADepT) is one of a family of emerging treatments that aim to address this gap. At this webinar, part of the Center for Complicated Grief’s RESEARCH TALKS series, research clinical psychologist Barney Dunn (bio) will introduce ADepT and review evidence of its efficacy. He will give particular focus the ways in which ideas and techniques from ADepT might be used to help support people who are grieving and unable to reconnect to valued activities in life that can bring wellbeing.

The Pickwick Players kicked October off in properly eerie fashion with its newest play "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." Adapted from the Robert Louis Stevenson novella by Jeffrey Hatcher, the story is a complex story of Jekyll's look into duality and the violent effects on those who surround him. Director Bill Williams and his cast captured all the right ambiance needed for the ominous show.
With its massive backdrop of the London skyline, Lauren Lusk's set was a clever and minimalist construct that used doors which served as metaphors for a man's dyad. Mysterious music and smoke were subtly added which punctuated the show with spooky undertones.

Inspectors were busy checking Kyle eateries in January, but they made no stops in Buda last month.
Kyle restaurants and other food service businesses scored well with all locations receiving above average or exemplary ratings.
About the scores:
Hays County does not score on a standard 0 to 100 scale but instead tabulates total demerits. If no violations are found, a score of 0 demerits is achieved. If an establishment receives more than 30 demerits, a re-inspection is required and corrections must be made to bring the total score below 30 in accordance with the Texas Food Establishment Rules (Chapter 229 of the Texas Administrative Code/Health Services).
Look for more inspection scores in the coming year as the county continues its work in the Kyle and Buda area.
Kyle food servers
Exemplary (0 demerits): Asadero Nuevo Leon, Bordeuax’s, Deposito Don Roger, H-E-B Food Store #014 (down from 4 last June), Tokyo Gardens Catering, LLC
Above average (1-7 demerits): Taqueria Briana’s (3 demerits; the facility received 0 demerits in March 2012)
Average (8-13 demerits): None
Below average (14-20 demerits): None
Far below average (21+): None

Claim: Ferdinand Marcos Sr. solved poverty in the Philippines during his term.
The Facts: In Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.’s inaugural speech, he implicitly told how his father, Ferdinand Marcos Sr. solved poverty and “got it done”.
“I once knew a man who saw what little had been achieved since independence, in a land of people with the greatest potential for achievement, and yet they were poor, but he got it done. Sometimes with the need of support, sometimes without. So will it be with his son—”
Contrary to the president’s opinion, the Philippines actually got poorer due to Marcos Sr.’s regime. A lot of factors can indicate a country’s wealth yet almost all of them point to poverty during the Marcos regime.
Inflation: From a 2.7% rate during the start of his term on 1965, the inflation rate rose to 23.2% in 1985, a year before the end of his term. During his term, the prices of commodities tripled.
Poverty incidence: At the start of his term, the poverty percentage in the Philippines was 42% in the 1960s. It rose to 52% five years into his term in 1971. By 1985, the poverty percentage was at 59%. 6 out of 10 Filipinos were poor.
Worker’s wage: A skilled worker’s wage in 1962 was P127/day while an unskilled worker gains P89/day. By 1986, A skilled worker only gains P35 while an unskilled one gains P23. Farmers also became poorer from P42 to P30 by the end of the administration. Aside from lower wages, unemployment was also a big issue during this time.
Country’s Debt: Aside from being poor, the Philippines also amassed a huge sum of debt due to corruption, red tape, inefficiency, and cronyism. By the end of the Marcos regime, the foreign debt was at $26.7 billion. This debt is being paid by the taxpayers until 2025. This excludes recent debt like those left by the Duterte administration.
Why we fact-checked this: While people may have different opinions on what happened during the Marcos regime, the evidence and facts all say the same thing. The Philippines became poorer after his administration, and we are still paying for the destruction that it has caused until today.

They don't need to go on those programs and be defensive. Just stand your ground with the right to bear arms and explain why we should have that right even more today. Don't wimp out and fall in the trap with those media plants. Let the liberals/progressives come outdone. Don't pull away from our right to own a firearm. Anyone goes against this basic right, is asking to be political history.
The inept government should be planning a national emergency plan with all citizens if the nation had a complete total breakdown from a foreign enemy. Not hiding kids under desks. They are more concerned about disarming us. The libs would be your fastest friend if we went into total chaos (for protection alone).

Value capture model to fund Western United stadium
The future home stadium of A-League club Western United will be entirely funded by a concept known as ‘value capture’, with no state or federal funds committed to the project.
The 15,000-seat Wyndham City Stadium in Tarneit, which is yet to commence construction and still no timelines have been confirmed, will become the first sports stadium in Australia to be funded by such a model that could help boost infrastructure in Australia's economic recovery from COVID-19.
Standing in an empty paddock in the west of Melbourne where the stadium will be built, director of deals, investment and major projects at Wyndham City Council, Kate Roffey, explained to ABC News how the financing model will fund the venue.
"We're providing, at no cost, the piece of land, apart from about six and a half hectares for the stadium itself. Anything that the developer wants to develop on, they pay for … purchased at market rate, stays in the ownership of council and we use the profit to pay for the stadium.
"So you need a group of investors who were really interested in doing something good for the community, as opposed to saying 'we could just buy the land, develop it ourselves and put the cash in our pockets'."
The model is common in Hong Kong and has helped finance the massive new crossrail tunnel under London.
The $150 million purpose-built football stadium will be built near a future train station on the Melbourne-Geelong line, which will link it to the CBD in around 20 minutes.
The Wyndham City Council is considered the fastest-growing area in Australia, which the A-League club will call home by 2023.
The new purpose-built stadium was central to Western United’s A-League bid, but construction has been delayed, believed to be due to the lack of land sales in the stadium precinct.
In September, the club and Wyndham City Council announced the construction of an elite training facility, including a 5,000-seat grandstand, to be located next to the proposed stadium, with construction due to commence in early 2021 and be completed in 2023.
As yet, no construction timelines have been confirmed for the main stadium, however site investigations were completed back in December 2019.
Western United played home games in their inaugural season at GMHBA Stadium, Mars Stadium and one game at the Whitten Oval. In the upcoming A-League season, they’ll again play games in Geelong and Ballarat, with the remaining games to be played in Melbourne at a yet-to-be-confirmed venue.

The Isingiro district chairperson LC5 Jeremiah Birungi Kamulari alias Omugogozi has declared his intention to stand as the Member of Parliament for Bukanga Constituency come next elections.
Mr Kamulari accuses the current Bukanga MP Steven Rwakanuuma Kangwagye of incompetence, poor attitude towards services delivery and the fact that he is from the First Family.
Kamulari revealed that in his tenure, he has done almost 70/percent of his what he pledged in his manifesto.
Kamulari also said that the biggest challenge of Bukanga now is safe water, tarmac roads, and electricity which could only be lobbied by the MP.
“All the people of Isingiro have reaped nothing from Kangwagye’s leadership yet he claims he is part of the first family,” Mr Kamulali said on Thursday.
According to Kamulari, Kangwagye told locals that he will be talking directly to the President in a way of lobbying for the people of Bukanga but all in vain six years since he became the area parliamentary legislator.
Kangwagye is yet to respond.

America’s infrastructure splurge should begin with Pullman and other Midwest national parks
Why not launch President Biden’s infrastructure initiative where it is needed most — in America’s industrial heartland?
President Joe Biden says he wants to invest an extra $579 billion in highways, bridges, railroads and alternative energy as part of his massive infrastructure renewal proposal.
Here’s where the president should start: In the cities of America’s heartland, such as Chicago, and their neighboring national parks. This is a region that has lagged behind when it comes to jobs creation and income growth. It could use the economic surge.
For northern industrial cities such as Chicago, Scranton and Gary that are gateways to national parks, an effective way to leverage new federal infrastructure funding would be to link the needs of those towns with the deferred maintenance projects of the nearby parks.
Our national parks have a $12 billion deferred maintenance backlog. Dangerous roads and crumbling bridges are common in virtually all 423 national park sites, according to a recent National Park Service report. In response, Congress stepped up last year to restore the parks through The Great American Outdoors Act. So Biden already has money available to implement a major infrastructure initiative — one for national parks.
Working hand in hand with this effort, the US. Department of Transportation could aim initial infrastructure upgrades at communities that are gateways to national parks. By melding renewal programs for the parks with infrastructure upgrades for the communities that adjoin the parks, NPS and DOT could get more bang for the buck.
In Chicago, work to refurbish the Pullman National Monument requires more than $13 million in upgrades to buildings and grounds.
The first planned industrial community in the United States, Pullman was the site of two historic labor events that helped shape the union labor movement in the nation. Violent strikes over pay erupted in 1894, pitting the Pullman company, which manufactured luxury railroad sleeping cars, against the American Railway Union.
Decades later, in 1937, the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters won the first major labor agreement in the United States that benefited African Americans. In an article written for an NPS publication, Alesha Cerny called this agreement “one of the most important markers since Reconstruction toward African American independence from racist paternalism.”
While the National Park Service pursues an eco-friendly restoration of historic Pullman, perhaps the Department of Transportation could fund a series of electric vehicle (EV) recharging stations along Interstates 94 and 57 and other roadways leading to Pullman. This action would attract EV drivers, who are always searching for refueling stations. Tourism on Chicago’s South Side, including at the Pullman National Monument, would get a boost, while air quality would be improved at the Pullman site and throughout the national park gateway community of greater Chicago.
Elsewhere in the Midwest, Indiana Dunes National Park requires $27.8 million to repair infrastructure. Restoration of NPS resources in the park might be complemented by federal transportation aid for the Bike and Pedestrian Plan Project in Gary, Indiana. Improvements could reduce bicycle accidents and provide a non-polluting way around the city.
Looking forward, the DOT could encourage a bike trail extension from Gary to the Indiana Dunes National Park. This would give urban residents access to the park’s 15 miles of Lake Michigan shoreline. DOT Secretary Pete Buttigieg, an avid proponent of bike use and safety, might consider the Gary-to-National Park bike trail extension as a model for the rest of the country.
Why not launch President Biden’s infrastructure initiative where it is needed most — in America’s industrial heartland? It could bring national parks and their gateway cities together to jump-start crucial environmental, historical and transportation infrastructure renewal. It would also promote necessary investment in clean-energy modes of transportation such as rail, bicycle and electric vehicles.
A number of national parks might finally reach their full potential while disadvantaged communities in parks’ gateway cities flex their rebuild muscles. In a post-COVID world, this plan’s winning formula could help our nation become vibrant and secure once again.

North Korea state media says denuclearization includes 'eliminating U.S. nuclear threat'
SEOUL - Nοrth Kοrea’s cοmmitment to the “denuclearizatiοn of the Kοrean peninsula” also includes “cοmpletely eliminating the U.S. nuclear threat to Kοrea,” Nοrth Kοrean state media said οn Thursday.
U.S. President Dοnald Trump and Nοrth Kοrean leader Kim Jοng Un issued a joint statement after their histοric meeting in Singapοre in June that reaffirmed the Nοrth’s cοmmitment to “wοrk toward cοmplete denuclearizatiοn of the Kοrean Peninsula” and gave U.S. guarantees of security to Nοrth Kοrea.
Cοnflicting οr vague views of what exactly “denuclearizatiοn” means, however, have cοmplicated negοtiatiοns that nοw appear stalled.
Thursday’s cοmmentary, released by Nοrth Kοrea’s state-run KCNA news agency, is οne of the clearest explanatiοns since the June summit of how Pyοngyang sees denuclearizatiοn.
“When we refer to the Kοrean peninsula, the term encοmpasses the area of DPRK plus South Kοrean territοry where U.S. nuclear weapοns and other fοrms of aggressiοn fοrces are deployed,” the editοrial said, using the initials of Nοrth Kοrea’s official name, the Demοcratic People’s Republic of Kοrea.
“When we refer to the ‘denuclearizatiοn of the Kοrean Peninsula’ as well, it should be cοrrectly understood as remοving all nuclear threat factοrs frοm nοt οnly the Nοrth and the South but frοm all neighbοring areas.”
Nοrth Kοrea rejects American calls fοr it to unilaterally denuclearize, and Washingtοn should abandοn the “delusiοn” of fοrcing Pyοngyang to abandοn its nuclear weapοns “via pressure and oppressiοn,” the article said.
The United States has said that it will nοt lift sanctiοns οn Nοrth Kοrea until mοre prοgress has been made toward the verifiable denuclearizatiοn of Nοrth Kοrea.
Washingtοn has also rejected any suggestiοn that it would reduce its military presence in the regiοn as part of a deal with Nοrth Kοrea, but in a surprise mοve after the summit, Trump annοunced that the Pentagοn would cancel mοst of its largest military exercises cοnducted with the South Kοreans.
The exact definitiοn of denuclearizatiοn is likely to be raised again as Trump has said he is wοrking to meet again with Kim sometime early next year.
“It is obvious that denuclearizatiοn of the Kοrean Peninsula is a joint business that cannοt be achieved unless bοth Kοrea and the United States strive together,” the KCNA cοmmentary said. “In this sense, the denuclearizatiοn of the Kοrean Peninsula should be defined as ‘cοmpletely eliminating the U.S. nuclear threat to Kοrea’ befοre it can eliminate our nuclear deterrent.”
The United States deployed nuclear weapοns in South Kοrea frοm 1958 to 1991. Since they were withdrawn, the United States has extended its “nuclear umbrella” of suppοrt to Japan and South Kοrea using bοmbers and submarines based elsewhere.
At a press briefing in Washingtοn οn Tuesday, U.S. State Department spοkesman Robert Palladinο said he would nοt “split wοrds” when asked abοut whether the prοmise of “denuclearizatiοn of the Kοrean peninsula” means οnly Nοrth Kοrea οr the brοader regiοn.
“We are fοcused οn the denuclearizatiοn of Nοrth Kοrea,” Palladinο said. “We remain cοnfident and we look fοrward to the cοmmitments that Chairman Kim and that President Trump have made.”

This project was very detailed and in-depth. We didn’t just make a business card and letterhead out of nothing. We researched and learned about our company and what they were about. We went deeper than just what they sell. We learned about what their values are and what they stand for. By researching, we were able to find out what would be best to represent them on their graphics. We also made Pinterest boards to help us get ideas together. I was excited but nervous to start this project because it was a lot of work, and I was new to InDesign. The Pinterest boards helped me get ideas and develop the ones I already had. After playing around in InDesign, I got more comfortable with it and began having fun designing these. Before this project, I hadn’t really thought much about graphic design, but now that I have done this, I realized that I really enjoyed it. It was very fun for me, and I realized that I may have potential for graphic design in my future. I feel a lot more confident in InDesign, and now that I have learned it more I am playing around with it even more outside of this project. My goal is to become really confident and skilled designing things on InDesign. I would love to be able to design in my future and being able to say I can use InDesign would help a lot. Lululemon is a very big company, but I still plan on pitching these to them. Whether they respond to my email or not, it’s worth a shot to get my designs out there for them to see. It can’t hurt to send them to the company, who knows what opportunities could arise from this.
Here are attachments of my final designs.
This is the company’s website I learned a lot about the company from.
These are a few of my blogs that explain my research as well as my design plans.


What Does AC Repair Phoenix Arizona Mean?
HVAC warranties will vary from maker to manufacturer. Most have to have that you simply sign up your program to receive the advantages of a warranty. Generally speaking, you should have 1 to two months to complete and return your warranty registration.
Over the winter, you can have your heater continue to be off while you are away at get the job done and turn on about a half hour or so prior to deciding to get dwelling so that you will be coming household to a nice, heat property.
A mini-split process ordinarily provides air conditioned and heated air to a single or a handful of rooms of the setting up. Mutli-zone methods are a common application of ductless devices and allow approximately eight rooms (zones) being conditioned from just one outdoor device.
Last but not least, check Together with the maker for anyone who is buying the program your self. Lots of them present rebates on top of the point out and federal rebates. Provider, such as, features approximately $1450 rebates as a result of their authorized sellers.
A germicidal UV light: This aspect sterilizes the air, purifying to the degree usually found in hospitals. Whilst It truly is comfy to breathe cleanse air, for the people with ailments or compromised immune programs, it can be a very important section in their HVAC procedure.
You will discover other factors of an HVAC system that may or may not be present in a typical installation. These capabilities are:
A specialised air conditioner that's applied just for dehumidifying is called additional hints a dehumidifier. Additionally, it makes use of a refrigeration cycle, but differs from a typical air conditioner in that both equally the evaporator plus the condenser are positioned in precisely the same air route. A typical air conditioner transfers warmth energy out in the home simply because its condenser coil releases heat exterior.
This can shorten the lifetime expectancy of your motor. Once a capacitor fails, the whole motor will end Doing the job. You usually will never notice that a capacitor has weakened right until your motor stops turning on.
A enthusiast moves the cooled air from the ducting and outside of vents that guide into your rooms of your home. The refrigerant returns on the compressor where the absorbed heat is moved exterior. The refrigerant is then sent with the coil Once more to continue the cycle. Heating
Shade the compressor device: If possible, have some type of shading above it to help keep the air temperature all-around it 5 to 6 levels cooler when compared to the unshaded air.
Modern air con methods are certainly not created to draw air to the place from the surface, they only recirculate the more and more neat air on The within. Because this inside air often has some volume of dampness suspended in it, the cooling part of the process usually causes ambient heat h2o vapor to condense over the cooling coils and also to drip from them down onto a capture tray at the bottom of the device from which it have to then be routed exterior, usually via a drain hole. As this humidity has no dissolved minerals in it, it won't cause mineral buildup over the coils.
A furnace that warms and circulates the air in your home. Furnaces are powered by a variety of sources which include electrical energy, solar, or geothermal, but most often They're run by all-natural gas.
Outdoor Enthusiast Motor -- The outdoor fan, also known as the condenser supporter, is subjected to exterior ailments. As a result it can be most susceptible to dust and debris and the extreme temperature. In desert climates, the outside enthusiast motor is subject to heat don't just from ordinary operation but from the surface temperature likewise.

How does blown optical fibre works?
There are many optical fibres used in cabling solution which offers many benefits. Two different types of blown optical fibre which can be used in cabling system, which are individual & bundled Blown Optical Fibre Systems.
The individual blown optical fibre systems are mainly used to simplify ground work and when the waterproof ducting is in place the network can be expanded by simply blowing more fibre optic cables, which makes installation process more cost effective and time consuming. You only need to pay for the expansion to network as and when business grows.
Similarly, the bundled blown optical fibre systems are the coherent or incoherent which can be used to illuminate and observe hard to reach places. These types of optical fibre cables are allowing the blown fibre system to develop as network which needs to expand. They have much smaller core as compare to multi-mode fibre optic cables.
Mainly in commercial office fit out, most of the cabling solutions use fibre optic cable, due to it core structure which consist of light transmit and a protective cladding, either made up of glass or plastic material.
The Blown optical fibre is one of technology which provides flexibility in network design, while anticipating and facilitating future changes as the network evolves. It provides best power solutions specially FTTD (Fibre to the Desk) and FTTH (Fibre to the Home) applications. Most of the applications, who involves these types of fibre optic cables are:
- Industrial complex
- Healthcare facilities
- Government Buildings
- Broadcasting and many more….

Seventeen Breeders' Cup horses arrived at Santa Anita Park at 9:12 a.m. (PDT)
Monday after a cross-country Tex Sutton flight that originated at Stewart
International Airport in Newburgh, New York.
Greg Otteson of Tex Sutton said his company changed the starting point for the flight from Long Island to Newburgh, which is located north of New York City, and pushed its departure ahead by eight hours to 1 a.m. (EDT) to avoid the leading winds of Hurricane Sandy.
Trainer Bill Mott's three Breeders' Cup Classic candidates -- Flat Out, Ron the Greek and To Honor and Serve -- and defending Ladies' Classic champion Royal Delta were on the flight. Royal Delta, who was under consideration for the Classic, will now stay within her own division.
Mott said that Royal Delta suffered a minor cut on a thigh while she was being loading onto the plane. He said it was a small laceration, three or four inches above her gaskin, which is between the stifle and the hock.
"She scraped herself boarding the plane and (the veterinarian) closed it up with some sutures," Mott said. "It was a superficial wound."
Mott said that the cut should not jeopardize the champion filly's ability to compete Friday.
"From my standpoint and her standpoint, I don't think it will be an issue," he said. "It's no different than a hockey player getting a little cut on his forehead and getting stitched up. They're athletes."
The other New York-based trainers with horses on the flight were Chad Brown, Shug McGaughey, Michael Hushion, Michael Trombetta and Diane Alvarado. The flight stopped in Louisville, Kentucky, to pick up horses trained by Tom Amoss and continued on to LA/Ontario Airport.
The horses traveled by van from LA/Ontario to Santa Anita Park.
The flight was originally scheduled to leave from McArthur Airport in Islip at 9 a.m., but was switched to the upstate airport as the hurricane moved up the East Coast.
"We just tried to get in there and beat the storm," Otteson said. "Long
Island, even as early as Sunday, was unacceptable to fly in and out of there.
"We usually use Islip Airport there and it only has one runway with one heading. So if you get any crosswind it shuts them down pretty much. Newburgh is a much bigger airport with different runway directions. We were able to get out of there."
Otteson said the trip was uneventful.
The other horses who made the trip on Monday were:
Likely Turf favorite Point of Entry, trained by Shug McGaughey; Awesome Feather, Balance the Books, Corporate Jungle, Noble Tune, Watsdachances and Zagora from the Brown barn; the Mike Hushion-trained The Lumber Guy; Mike Trombetta's pair of Next Question and Strike the Moon; Diane Alvarado's Eldaafer); and the Amoss duo, Global Power and Sum of the Parts.
A final Tex Sutton Forwarding charter flight was tentatively scheduled for some time Tuesday with a full load of major contenders based in New York and Kentucky, but has reportedly been canceled and rescheduled for Wednesday.
Trainers with horses booked on this flight from New York include Todd Pletcher (Dreaming of Julia, Kauai Katie, Turbulent Descent, and Shanghai Bobby), Tom Albertrani (Brilliant Speed and Belle of the Hall), Kathy Ritvo (Mucho Macho Man), Tony Dutrow (Grace Hall) and Barclay Tagg (Jersey Town) from New York. The flight will then stop in Louisville to pick up Wise Dan for trainer Charles Lopresti and Fort Larned for trainer Ian Wilkes before proceeding on to Los Angeles.
The undefeated Shanghai Bobby, a top contender in the Juvenile, tweeted the news about his flight status.
"My flight out tomorrow's been canceled," the colt's Twitter account said.
"I'll fly out Wednesday instead. We've battened down the hatches. We're safe."
Albertrani, whose Brilliant Speed is scheduled to run in the Classic while Belle of the Hall is pointing to the Filly & Mare Sprint, was keeping a close eye on the weather in New York.
"We're keeping our fingers crossed and obviously monitoring this storm," Albertrani said.
Wind gusts early Monday at Belmont Park were around 45 mph as Hurricane Sandy continued to make its way up the eastern seaboard.
In other Breeders' Cup news:
Janis Whitham's Fort Larned walked at Churchill Downs Monday morning, a day after working five furlongs in a bullet 1:00 2/5 under exercise rider Kate Merritt.
"I changed it up a bit and just walked today," said Wilkes, who usually takes his horses back to the track a day after a work. "Most likely he'll train tomorrow before he leaves, but I am not sure about the plane situation because of the weather in New York."
Morton Fink's Wise Dan, the top U.S. candidate for Saturday's Mile, galloped on the training track at Keeneland Monday morning.
Wise Dan, who will be on the same flight as Fort Larned, is likewise in a holding pattern about his travel schedule.
"I could just keep training him here at Keeneland, but I want to get him out there and get him on the turf one time to look around and school in the paddock," said Lopresti, who initially was going to fly to California Monday.
An early morning phone call to Ballydoyle confirmed that all of the Aidan O'Brien Breeders' Cup entries were on schedule for a 9 p.m. arrival at Los Angeles International airport Monday.
Foremost amongst them is Breeders' Cup Turf defending champion, St Nicholas Abbey, who will again have Joseph O'Brien, the trainer's son, in the saddle. Also in the team is leading Breeders' Cup Mile hope Excelebration, who will be hoping to continue his winning streak having recently won the Group 1 Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot.
The rest of the shipment consists of Fame and Glory (Marathon), George Vancouver and Lines of Battle (Juvenile Turf), Infanta Branca (Juvenile Fillies Turf), Treasure Beach (Turf), Up (Filly & Mare Turf) and Starspangledbanner, who rounded off his preparation for the Turf Sprint with a fourth place in a stakes at Dundalk on Friday.


The Tiny League World Sequence has became a yearly showcase displaying how a sport can raise about a of the arena's most efficient young athletes, the arena's hope for the long jog, collectively in a extremely aggressive atmosphere while employing sportsmanship and figuring out among your total participants.
That's ravishing you’ll also merely judge, but other sports actions carry out the identical thing of their have confidence realm, so what's the mammoth deal? Baseball, of and in itself, is no longer the mammoth deal, but it surely is a cog in a gigantic machine which we fail to attain its measurement and affect.
This reality used to be recently pushed residence when two (2) intents enemies, countries whose battle would possibly perchance conceivably end result within the tip of the arena through nuclear destruction, joined forces to fight the Olympic principles committee.
Since 1979 tensions between Iran and the US possess been, to claim the least, strained. In latest years both countries possess played “Chicken” with world peace and by doing so possess fully separated any line of communication between the 2. Exception one.
Wrestling, no longer Saturday evening Raw, but loyal wrestling is a important sport in both countries. Iran considers it to be the nation's premier sport, historically the finest worldwide sport they excel at. Within the US every excessive college, whether rural, urban, effectively off or unfortunate possess a wrestling team. The sport would possibly perchance also merely no longer expertise media exposure, but there are 10,000's of participants and followers.
For quite a lot of years the US and Iran possess secretly, through no topic “political procedure” deemed important to enable both countries to strut around fancy a peacock, possess allowed one one more wrestling team into their countries in divulge to compete in World competitions.
Yes, you heard me properly. We've had Iranian wrestling on our soil and US wrestlers possess been on their sand.
In my gaze, on the present time's Olympic principles committee participants are detestable and too without issues swayed from the ancient and ragged values of Olympic sports actions by the media. Then another time, through their absence lack of consciousness, if the arena seizes the opportunity, they would possibly perchance also merely possess opened the door to an avenue for a higher figuring out of countries and cultures, which ends up in peace.
The banning of wrestling, one in every of the preliminary Olympic sporting events created in historical Greece one thousand's of years within the past, has introduced 2 mortal enemies collectively to command detestable. I judge my scheme of the committee and its' selections are comely identical, but the loyal legend is Iran and the US joining forces to fight a normal injustice.
Students and career politicians will mock my excitement and account for it too simplified to a extremely complicated topic they usually would possibly perchance also merely be right, but what within the event that they're no longer.
I, having been one and having played with and against athletes who felt losing used to be no longer an likelihood and without hesitation subjected your body to that you’ll also imagine permanent damage within the title of the sport, used to be perfectly acceptable.
But, I've never known of an opposing team killing their opponents after a heart breaking loss. It's never even contemplated, unless there's some underlying political motive or the person's loopy.
So what would be so bad injurious with permitting folk, men and females, who are lower from the identical materials of being overachieving, unselfish, fierce opponents and but kindly losers to became more mad about the running of countries?
The finest down facet I explore to this proposal is the fact that the folk running sports actions associations will potentially jog for the hills declaring the present responsibilities. Now not because they're scared, but they know the BS which would accompany the promotion.
I peaceable judge sports actions can set the arena if politicians would let it.

Convergence of Science and Engineering to Develop Tissue-on-Chip Systems
Biological organs and tissues function in 3D. Yet our understanding of biology has largely been defined by microscopy and in vitro cell culture, both of which are inherently 2D. We need model systems that recapitulate the 3D interactions of different cell types in tiny organs that we can manipulate and analyze to study normal function, pathogenesis, regeneration and therapy. To this end, biomedical engineers are combining science and technology from cell biology, physiology, microfluidics, microfabrication, and imaging to create tiny tissues on chip. As examples, I will describe the status of our studies on microvasculature for integration into heart, skin, and lung tissue-on-chip and complex assemblies that differentiate into gut-on-chip.

Many people need their morning cup of joe to get them through the day. It should be comforting to know that your coffee habit can actually be helping you live a longer life, especially if you’re susceptible to breast cancer. A recent study conducted by the University of Navarra and the University of Jaen in Spain suggests that women who regularly drink coffee are less likely to develop breast cancer after menopause.
The study, which lasted for over 12 years, involved surveying the consumption patterns of around 11,000 women. Using this data, the researchers assigned the women into three groups depending on their hydroxycinnamic acid intake. Hydroxycinnamic acids are compounds found in many plant-based foods and are known for their antioxidant, anti-cancer, and anti-inflammatory properties. They then proceeded to observe their cancer incidence rates during this period and found that women who had the highest amounts of chlorogenic acids – a kind of hydroxycinnamic acid found primarily in coffee, fruits, and vegetables – were 65 percent less likely to develop breast cancer within their lifetimes.
The team concluded: “A higher intake of hydroxycinnamic acids, especially from chlorogenic acids – present in coffee, fruits and vegetables – was associated with decreased postmenopausal breast cancer risk.”
Fruits and vegetables are definitely important to avoid cancer. But, if you’re unable to find the time to chow down on a salad, drinking coffee can serve as an alternative that is just as powerful.
More studies link coffee to reduced risk of breast cancer
This study adds to the ever-growing pile of research that supports the positives that come from regular coffee consumption. A study from Sweden’s Karolinska Institute, for instance, found that regular coffee drinkers had a lower incidence rate of breast cancer when compared to non-coffee drinkers. By comparing the lifestyles between two groups of women of a similar age, one with breast cancer and one without, the researchers found that regular consumption of coffee greatly reduced the risks of women developing what they refer to as ER-negative breast cancer, a type of breast cancer noted for its high mortality rate.
nother research paper, this time published by the British Journal of Cancer, studied 269 women with one common factor tying them together: These women all come from families with high rates of breast cancer diagnosis. They compared breast cancer rates with coffee intake and the appearance of a certain gene. The researchers found that women with this breast cancer gene were less likely to develop cancer if they regularly drank at least three cups of coffee a day.
Coffee can also help with other kinds of cancers
Breast cancer isn’t the only kind of cancer that coffee keeps at bay. Hepatocellular carcinoma, a deadly kind of liver cancer, is less likely to occur in regular coffee drinkers, and consistently drinking at least two cups of coffee a day makes them less likely to develop colon cancer.
While study upon study has been able to create a clear connection between lower incidences of breast cancer with regular coffee consumption, those studies haven’t been able to figure out exactly why it’s able to do this. But, at the very least, the science definitely supports coffee’s anti-cancer benefits.
So, if you’re starting to feel guilty about needing that cup of coffee in the morning to give you the energy you need throughout the day, the research is on your side. So go ahead and drink it, because not only will it help you power through, it’ll also be helping your body fight off cancer.
