The prevalence of obesity is increasing and according to the latest statistics of the world health organization, 13% of adults worldwide are obese and 39% are overweight (1). Obesity increases the risk of metabolic diseases, cancer, and cataract (2, 3). Statistics have shown that obesity and its consequences have high costs for communities (4). There is a positive association between body mass index (BMI) and direct and indirect (due to premature deaths) health care costs. Indirect costs of obesity (54% to 59%) have been reported more than the direct costs (5). In the last century, due to the increasing prevalence of obesity and its hidden costs, control and treatment of obesity requires more attention.

When I was in the sixth grade, I first realized that I was heavier than the other girls. I thought, "Oh, I'm going into junior high school—I should try to lose weight so boys will like me, like me." From then on, my mom and I tried pretty much any popular diet from the early 2000s you could think of. She was always encouraging me to lose weight whenever she did. I would usually lose between 30 and 40 pounds on those diets, but I always put it back on—and then some.
Greek yogurt is an extremely satiating breakfast or snack, thanks to its thick, creamy texture and a whopping 17 grams of protein (nearly three times more than is in an egg, in fact). A study from the journal Appetite found that people who ate a high-protein yogurt snack three hours after lunch felt fuller and ate dinner later than the other participants. And on top of that, other studies suggest that the acids produced during yogurt fermentation might help increase feelings of fullness.
Notes: Chop the sweet potatoes and halve the Brussels sprouts, and place on a sheet pan. Drizzle with 2 teaspoons olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Roast at 450°F (230°C) until tender, about 15 minutes. Brush the chicken with 1 teaspoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill over medium-high heat until marked and no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes per side.
Research demonstrates that eating later can actually lead to slower weight loss, while eating a larger meal at breakfast and smaller meals throughout the day can help you lose more weight! And while we're not going to tell you to restrict yourself to no food after 6 p.m, it's important to consider what time of day you struggle most with temptation.
To prep his patients for success, Dr. Seltzer tells them to plan around a large evening meal by eating a lighter breakfast and lunch—NBD since most people who eat a meal before bed tend to wake up feeling relatively full, he says. Research suggests balanced bedtime meals may also promote steady next-day blood sugar levels, which also helps with appetite regulation.

Before you head out to dinner, pour yourself a cup of green tea. The active ingredient in green tea, EGCG, boosts levels of cholecystokinin, or CCK, a hunger-quelling hormone. In a Swedish study that looked at green tea's effect on hunger, researchers divided up participants into two groups: One group sipped water with their meal and the other group drank green tea. Not only did tea-sippers report less of a desire to eat their favorite foods (even two hours after sipping the brew), they found those foods to be less satisfying.
Salmon boasts significant anti-inflammatory properties thanks to its rich omega-3 fatty acid content, meaning it's an excellent source of protein for those looking to jumpstart their weight loss. In fact, one study that examined the effects of weight loss and seafood consumption showed wild salmon to be the most effective at reducing inflammation—better than lean white fish and a fish-free diet. According to a study published in The Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry, fishy fatty acids may also signal thyroid cells in the liver to burn more fat.
Need a midday snack? This combo offers protein, healthy fats, and fiber to fend off hunger. With about 160 calories for 50 of them, pistachios are one of the lowest-calorie nuts. Plus, they're usually packaged in their shells, which can slow you down and keep you from munching mindlessly. The apple adds sweetness and crunch to your treat, along with 4 grams of fiber.
He is, however, quick to point out that nobody is doing this with any harmful intentions. But he does stress that erroneous information has a tendency to be elevated into truths if it's repeated sufficiently often. And when myths like these are as widespread as they are, they prevent the public and professionals from getting their priorities right in the fight against obesity.
"For one, fiber-packed foods are a great way to fill up and control hunger, mange blood glucose levels, and promote gastrointestinal health," says Katherine Zeratsky R.D.N., L.D., at the Mayo Clinic. "Fruits and veggies are rich in fiber and mostly water, which makes them heavy (your stomach feels weight) and keeps you fuller longer, while being low in calories," she adds.
Water is your body's preferred form of fluid. It is thirst-quenching and naturally delicious without one single calorie. You need some 6-8 glasses of water or fluids each day. Recent studies suggest that we should let thirst determine how much we drink each day. Foods that are high in water (soups, Jell-O, produce) also count toward our fluid requirements. Many dieters find drinking water helps keep them from overeating.
Raising your metabolic rate, notwithstanding, isn't sufficient to get thinner on the off chance that you correspondingly eat more nourishment: in the event that you can, nonetheless, keep up your run of the mill sustenance admission while your metabolic rate builds, you are probably going to encounter some weight reduction. The weight reduction that will happen consequently with the utilization of green tea is probably going to be negligible.
Sure, you certainly need to drink plenty of water to help expedite the process of ridding your body of excess sodium, you can (and should!) also consume high-water content foods. Reach for cucumbers, tomatoes, watermelon, asparagus, grapes, celery, artichokes, pineapple, and cranberries — all of which contain diuretic properties that will also help you stay full due to their higher fiber content.
"Mangoes are a great way to satisfy a sweet tooth and to help to ward off other cravings," says Rania Batayneh, MPH, a nutritionist and owner of Essential Nutrition for You. Mangoes are high in fiber, magnesium, antioxidants, and iron (making them a great snack for women who may have iron deficiency or anemia), says Batayneh. "And because mangoes aid in digestion, you want to focus on eating the fruit versus just drinking the juice."
Moreover, the ritual involved in making tea (as opposed to shoving coins into a vending machine) gives you a welcome break from your chores or work -- and you can reflect on good thoughts, as well as making conscious choices to put good things into your body instead of empty calories from candy bars. Take a moment to chat to someone else who is in the tearoom with you. And it's a great way to unwind, stretch and socialize in the space of five minutes!
Studies on green tea's impact on cancer have been mixed. But green tea is known to aid healthy cells in all stages of growth. There are some clues that green tea may help destroy cancer cells, but that research is still in its early stages, so you shouldn't count on green tea to prevent cancer. In fact, the National Cancer Institute's web site says it "does not recommend for or against the use of tea to reduce the risk of any type of cancer."
Also known as yam or yambean, this Mexican turnip is a great source of fiber, says Dr. Jaime Schehr, a registered dietitian in New York City. "This plant is great for weight loss due to its high fiber to sugar ratio (a whopping 32g of fiber per medium jimaca—that's almost an entire day's worth). They are also a good source of potassium, an essential mineral in maintaining water balance in our body."
Because each cup contains almost no calories, green tea can boost your metabolism and improve your body's efficiency for burning energy. Research has suggested that the flavonoids it contains are responsible for increasing fat oxidation levels and improving insulin activity in your body. Some studies show that substituting tea for calorie-filled drinks can lead to about a pound of weight loss a week.
This popular plan recently underwent a rebranding to create a more balanced program, changing its four-phase approach with the help of a science advisory board. The Atkins Diet is still low-carb, but you won't be chowing down on steak and eggs all the time to promote weight loss. Lean protein is still key, but there's more of a spotlight on fiber, fruit, vegetables, and healthy fats.
All calories count when you're trying to lose weight. And while the weight-loss benefits of green tea aren't that great, if you're drinking it to give yourself a little extra boost, you don't want to negate any benefits by adding extra calories from sweeteners such as honey or milk or cream. A cup of plain green tea has only 2 calories, making it a healthy addition to your weight loss diet. Adding 1 tablespoon of honey and 1 tablespoon of cream bumps up the calories in your very low-calorie tea to 86 calories. That may not sound like much, but drinking 3 cups a day adds an extra 258 calories, which may add a little more than 2 pounds a month if you drink them in addition to your regular meal plan.
What if we told you that you could make 20 percent of your belly disappear this year—poof, just gone? Penn State University researchers compared those who consumed avocado oil with those who consumed a flax-safflower oil blend. Those on the avocado oil diet—just three tablespoons daily did the trick—lost nearly 2 percent of their belly fat in just one month.

"Researchers around the world say what really works is not just cutting calories but satisfying your hunger with the right kinds of foods," says Health's Frances Largeman-Roth, RD. In fact, women following a low-fat diet who were allowed to fill up on all the fruit and vegetables they wanted lost 23% more weight than women on a low-fat diet alone, a new study from the United Kingdom reports.
Ultimately, weight loss for the long-term requires some short-term behavior change and healthier habit formation. That's why we created our Good Housekeeping Nutritionist Approved Emblem, which exists to help turn smart food choices into healthier eating habits. All GHNA foods and drinks make it easier to find — and eat — good-for-you foods without additional time, effort, and cost. We target the lifestyle-related factors that make healthier eating hard, and find simple but creative solutions that actually work! Look for the emblem on labels wherever you shop for food!
A study in the journal Metabolism found that eating half a grapefruit before meals may help reduce visceral fat and lower cholesterol levels. Participants in the 6-week study who ate a Rio Red grapefruit fifteen minutes before each meal saw their waists shrink by up to an inch, and LDL levels drop by 18 points. Though researchers don't exactly know what makes grapefruit so good at burning fat, they attribute the effects to a combination of phytochemicals and vitamin C found in the tart treat.
A randomized controlled trial done in 2016 showed that green tea helped in the treatment of obesity. Numerous supplements have been purported to help with weight loss, but most fail when tested in a scientifically rigorous manner. Many miracle diet pills have come and gone. There were the prescription drugs like Fen-Phen, which, like the old street drug 'speed' caused weight loss, but also caused all kinds of heart problems. Fen-Phen could make you thin, but could also kill you. There was Orlistat, which blocks fat absorption. It caused weight loss, but also some bothersome side effects like diarrhea from all that mal-absorbed fat. Best advice for Orlistat? Don't wear white pants. Then there was Meridia, which caused weight loss, but a little side effect like heart attacks and strokes caused it to be discontinued.
Heart-healthy foods should fill your pantry, refrigerator, and freezer. Choose foods that are low in saturated and trans fats. Enjoy plenty of naturally fat-free, low-sodium fruits and vegetables. Choose healthy fats such as canola, olive, and vegetable oils. Eat foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, like walnuts, flaxseed, and salmon and other fatty fish. Choose low- and non-fat dairy products, as well as the leanest cuts of meat (round and loin) and skinless poultry. Beans, nuts, and whole grains round out the list of heart-healthy foods.
It's important to eat ad libitum. We shouldn't stuff ourselves, but we do need to feel comfortably full. Otherwise, we end up crazy-hungry. But unfortunately, ad libitum eating is not what traditional weight-loss strategies have taught us for the past 100 years. Dieters have been told to focus mainly on how much they eat rather than on what they eat. They've been told to cut portion sizes and/or use their will power to override hunger in an attempt to create a negative calorie balance and reduce body fat stores.
While the American College of Sports Medicine warns that women who eat less than 1,300 calories a day and men who eat less than 1,800 risk slowing down their metabolism over time. But a rev-up stage that only lasts two weeks is approved by doctors and isn't as difficult as it seems. Our tester found the Mayo Clinic day pretty satisfying, and still had enough energy to hit the gym.
"A study published in Nutrition Journal found that participants who ate foods high in monounsaturated fats for lunch (in this case, half an avocado) reported a 40 percent decreased desire to eat for hours afterward. Monounsaturated fats from sources like olive oil, nuts and avocados can reduce cholesterol, promote weight loss, even boost memory." — David Zinczenko, author of the Zero Belly Cookbook
Stephen Colbert may be on to something. UCLA Center for Human Nutrition researchers divided study participants into two groups, each of which were fed a nearly identical low-cal diet for 12-weeks. The only difference between the groups was what they were given to eat as an afternoon snack. One group ate 220-calories of pretzels while the other group munched on 240-calories worth of pistachios. Just four weeks into the study, the pistachio group had reduced their BMI by a point, while the pretzel-eating group stayed the same, and their cholesterol and triglyceride levels showed improvements as well.
Notes: Chop the sweet potatoes and halve the Brussels sprouts, and place on a sheet pan. Drizzle with 2 teaspoons olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Roast at 450°F (230°C) until tender, about 15 minutes. Season the steak with salt and pepper. In a frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 teaspoon olive oil. Cook the steak until done to your liking, about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. (Consuming raw or undercooked meats may increase your risk of foodborne illness.)
Research considers have appeared, as per Consumer Reports, that green tea raises metabolic rates. These rates are what individuals allude to when they say somebody can eat a great deal of nourishment without putting on weight, since they have "an elevated ability to burn calories." The rate alludes to what number of calories are scorched by your body as opposed to put away as fat cells. Green tea is said to raise these rates through a mix of caffeine and catechins, which are cell reinforcements that are likewise found in follow amounts in red wine and dim chocolate.
There's a large spectrum of where people can fall on a vegetarian diet: For example, vegans consume no animal products, whereas ovo-lacto vegetarians eat both dairy and eggs. The eating style may help with weight loss, suggests a review published in August 2017 in Nutrients, but some vegans and vegetarians may become deficient in specific nutrients, such as calcium, iron, zinc, and vitamin B12, according to an article published in December 2017 in Nutrition, Metabolism and Cardiovascular Diseases. (23, 24)
"Whether it's an app or paper food logs, tracking what you eat will certainly be eye-opening. Almost everyone consumes more than they think. Write everything down as soon as you're done eating so you don't forget anything. The simple act of recording what you eat will make you eat less. When the calories are in your face, it makes you think twice!" — Martha McKittrick, RD, CDE
While Matcha originates from Japan, the first of its kind attempt has been made to manufacture it in Assam, India. Matcha specific clones are grown with great care, and then manufactured in a fully automated plant under the supervision of Japanese brewmasters. A bold step taken by the Chota Tingri estate in Upper Assam, it sure looks like the gamble has paid off. For we now have our own Indian Matcha.
However, it seems that the effects of metabolic and anthropometric from slow WL are different from rapid WL. In a pilot study, the difference between these 2 diets on anthropometric status was reported (18). Also, Yudai et al. showed that body weight and total intra-abdominal fat mass in the rapid and slow WLs decreased to the same extent, yet muscle atrophy was significantly higher with rapid than slow WL (19). The review of studies showed that metabolic differences of these 2 types of diets are still unclear.
Both protocols of rapid WL and slow WL caused reduction in waist circumference, hip circumference, total body water, body fat mass, lean body mass, and resting metabolic rate (RMR). Further reduction in waist circumference, hip circumference, fat mass, and percentage of body fat was observed in slow WL and decreased total body water, lean body mass, fat free mass, and RMR was observed in rapid WL. Improvement in lipid and glycemic profiles was observed in both groups. Reduction of low-density lipoprotein and fasting blood sugar, improvement of insulin resistance, and sensitivity were more significant in rapid WL in comparison to slow WL.
Green tea with lemon for weight loss: Drink THIS detox tea twice daily to burn belly fat & 100 calories a day Description: Green tea has been consumed for centuries for its immense health benefits, including weight loss. A growing number of studies have shown that the flavonoids and caffeine in green tea can boost metabolism, enabling the body to break down and process fat much faster. Drink this detox drink twice on a daily basis to burn up to 100 calories a day and get rid of belly fat quickly. Times Now
As for the health benefits of green tea, research does show that it may help protect against cardiovascular disease by preventing the oxidation of LDL cholesterol and reducing blood clotting. A meta-analysis of 13 randomized controlled trials, showed that it significantly lowered blood pressure, as well as LDL cholesterol and total cholesterol. So, adding a few cups of unsweetened green tea each day may be beneficial for heart health.
"A lot of people think the foundation of a paleo diet is high-fat meat, but I suggest that it's vegetables," says Hultin. The concept is to eat only foods — including meat, fish, poultry, eggs, fruits, and vegetables — that would have been available to our Paleolithic ancestors. This means grains, dairy, legumes, added sugar, and salt are all no-no's.
Australian researchers randomized 204 obese adults to either a 12-week rapid weight loss diet (with Nestlé's Optifast) or a 36-week gradual diet. A weight loss of 15% was the goal of both diets. Participants who lost at least 12.5% of their weight then participated in the second phase of the study, in which they were placed on a 144-week maintenance diet.
This study affirms, as many have before, that we can in fact cut calories and, at the same time, eat till we're full and satisfied when we reduce the calorie density of the foods we eat. The research found that all three strategies to reduce calorie density led to a spontaneous reduction in ad libitum calorie intake, but the reductions in calorie intake were significantly greater with fat reduction.
Brazilian scientists found that participants who consumed three cups of the beverage every day for a week had fewer markers of the cell damage caused by resistance to exercise. That means that green tea can also help you recover faster after an intense workout. In another study—this one on people—participants who combined a daily habit of four to five cups of green tea each day with a 25-minute workout for 12 weeks lost an average of two more pounds than the non-tea-drinking exercisers.
If you're a guy, you can thank the testosterone you have -- and the extra estrogen you don't -- for your weight-loss edge. On average, women have between six and 11 percent more body fat than men, an assumed evolutionary adaptation to help during pregnancy. From puberty to menopause, women maintain more average body fat than men -- even when they take in fewer calories.
Can someone remind Treason May, her cabinet, Oily rag and the civil servants that they are negotiating for the UK not the EU. Also that we voted to LEAVE not stay. The EU does not move so progress is when May surrenders more. She is playing a version of statues with the British public, creeping ever close to BINO hoping we will not notice her moves until it is too late. Time for the vote of no confidence. Get someone who knows what they are doing!
Why this easy fitness plan works: The duration of the workout makes it easier to tolerate and more likely that you'll stick to the plan. And even though the workouts are short, you are still burning substantial calories in a short period of time. Done properly three times per day, you can burn up to 300 - 500 calories. If you do this easy workout around mealtime, you'll probably also shorten the amount of time you spend eating which will help you to decrease the amount of food you want to consume.
Second, take a few photos of yourself to keep your motivation up. "Most of the people who come to me are doing it for a reason," he explains. "They're going on vacation, competing in a bodybuilding show, or maybe going to a reunion. I always have them strive for that goal. I take front, side, and back pictures of them at the beginning and have them post the photos on their mirror at home. I tell them, just keep looking at that picture and think of what you're going to look like in a few weeks."
True tea comes from the Camellia sinensis plant, and comes in many different varieties. Green tea differs from the more popular black tea in that the harvested leaves are not exposed to air, and therefore not oxidized. Green tea originated in China, but is now produced in Japan and India as well. After harvesting, the leaves may be steamed, producing a bright green tea or roasted in a wok, which creates a pale green-colored tea.
Many studies have proved that green tea with lemon increases amount of antioxidant i.e. catechins available for the body to absorb. Also, people have reported significant weight loss by drinking green tea with lemon. However, honey is high in calories. Honey with green tea is good for fighting cold and flu but there is no significant improvement in weigh loss.
The other part of this plan is resistance exercise. This is important because it's the part that focuses on building muscle. During weight loss, not all the weight lost is fat, some of it is muscle. Resistance training will ensure that you avoid the loss of muscle that usually occurs and will actually help you build muscle. You'll be doing 3 resistance workouts per week:

Green is truly the color of health. Matcha helps to safely cleanse and purge the body of harmful elements. Chlorophyll the element that gives green tea and other plants their signature verdant color is also a powerful detoxifier, helping to eliminate both chemicals and heavy metals from the body. And because matcha is carefully shade-grown, it is substantially richer in chlorophyll than other green teas, making it a superior daily detox.
Putting aside all the complicated, scientific reasons to exercise, exercise offers benefits that dieting just can't. Exercise allows you to boost your metabolism and turn your body into a fat blasting furnace. Exercise builds muscle in the places you want, improves body shape and gives you a firm, toned body. Dieting, on the other hand, doesn't promise a firm body – you can lose weight dieting and still be jiggly! And of course, in conjunction with diet, exercise speeds up the whole weight loss process, and who doesn't want that?
While we're on the subject of water, why not throw a few lemon slices into the hydrating and satiating beverage? In addition to adding a pop of color and flavor to a tall glass of H2O, lemon can also help encourage weight loss. Just one of the bright citrus fruits contains an entire day's worth of vitamin C, a nutrient that has the power to reduce levels of a stress hormone called cortisol that triggers hunger and fat storage. Additionally, lemons also contain polyphenols, which researchers say may ward off fat accumulation and weight gain.

The modern consumers are distinct creatures to that of previous generations: from travel, shopping and communication; there has been an entirely different approach to life thanks to technology. From the previous century, the way food chains and restaurants have been run has roughly stayed the same. For example, customer experience in the past century has remained relatively consistent from the introduction of diners, to the slow evolution of fast-casual restaurants and take-out joints.
Create automated and transparent business intelligence/reporting in real time.
The standard expectation of any consumer will be to provide good food at affordable prices, which are delivered quickly. To deliver on the above expectation takes tremendous effort and a highly efficient cohesive business operation plan. To increase the customer retention rate, the customer experience is imperative to your business. The younger generation consumers are always looking for newer, more unique experiences when it comes to dining and food. With new generations being more tech-savvy, it is a clear indication to involve technology as part of the dining experience in your business. Incorporating multi-channel marketing operations and store data from every visit made by a consumer to a restaurant, and additionally using that personal data for future consumer visits to ease their order and checkout process.
A huge future product is Project Nourished, which aims to change the restaurant customer experience by infusing AR, artificial sensory inputs, 3D printing, and computational gastronomy to create an artificial experience of eating any type of food the customer desires without its harmful dietary drawbacks.
Another front-of-house operation system is Eatsa which is completely automated. From ordering on kiosks to assembling the order to a self-service food pickup system which adds a more tech-savvy, futuristic experience to a fast-casual restaurant.
The idea of ordering from a small open-fronted store gets the tech-savvy consumer excited about an experience that is convenient, hassle-free, and private. Reports say that customers are likely to order dessert 200% more from a kiosk, which shows more motivation towards using this type of ordering method to help boost sales. Kiosks also have the ability to store individual behavioral ordering data like the different age groups or genders and the ordering time per customer - this analytic data can be studied to provide business insights and prepare for future customer offerings.
Using Kiosks can increase restaurant operation mobility and reduce fraud activities.
Switching to digital platforms for payments offers a more secure platform for money transactions and reduces customer anxiety around making inaccurate payments.
Link front to back-of-house staff to send important customized details like order preferences & real-time changes.
Managers get real-time data around the restaurant to make instant decisions.
Maximize customer service by completing guest requests instantly and informing responsible staff to take action.
Complete fast and simple payment procedures directly from the table.
Smart Tables are a powerful prospect which will could change the front-of-house scenario and eliminate the idea of going up to a counter or even a kiosk. By completely transforming the table from an out-dated, boring piece of furniture to a device that can take a customer's entire order, remember menu preferences and recommend new dishes. Additionally, Smart Tables can take payments, remember payment accounts and complete service requests.
Also, there are different visual features that can be integrated into the tables, such as a hologram showing every item on the menu.
Most of what you read above was focused on how the front-of-house space can transform with technology, but there is another area that has the most direct impact on the customer experience. The kitchen has new tools and technologies coming through every year where chefs and operators can create new types of food techniques and dishes. Back-of-house operation will be going mechanical at some point in the future in most restaurants, and definitely fast food joints where high frequency and consistent quality are a prime requirement. Automated machines have the capability to perpetually produce sustained quality food in terms of shape, taste, and texture with a higher success rate than chefs. For example, Roostersbot is a portable food technology stand creating high-quality burgers at only $5; or, another example being the complete robot kitchen at Spyce in Boston where customizable high nutrition dishes are cooked for prices as low as $7.50.
Using these automated kitchen machines means lower prices, with consistent food quality.
Storing data on paper is a thing of the past, with new digital and cloud formats where you can track your inventory and automate purchasing operations. Switching to digital inventory systems help manage assets in a more organized fashion and increases operational transparency. Features like customized schedules for inventory purchasing and creating theoretical inventory levels and situations to simulate various situations can help management plan months ahead and cut costs at higher rates.
The potential gains from introducing these technological solutions are significant and likely to be inevitable in certain segments (quick service, quick casual restaurants) as the consumer continues to demand lower prices and a smoother customer experience. These demands can be met by implementing automated systems and devices to assist in restaurant operations, specifically robotics and kiosks.

His "sort of unisex" line and short film will debut Thursday — featuring plenty of hoodies and man bags.
Pharrell Williams will release his streetwear-inspired, "sort of unisex" collection for Chanel on Thursday. It will debut at the opening of the French house's boutique in Seoul, South Korea, and at selected stores worldwide on April 4.
The Chanel ambassador teased his upcoming co-designed capsule over the weekend through clips from a short film for the brand. Called Chanel-Pharrell; the ready-to-wear and accessories collection includes robes, tees, sneakers, costume jewelry and sunglasses (Williams calls himself a "big accessories guy"). One long-sleeved tee, in eight colors, has a story printed on the back about a bet Williams made about collaborating with Chanel.
Williams on Friday posted a short clip of the film, with a woman speaking French on an old TV set before flashing to an image of Williams with light radiating from his mouth. "Hard to believe this all started with writing it on my shoes in 2010," he wrote.
The multihyphenate followed that up over the weekend with a longer, jungle-set clip in which Williams joins a gang of motorcycle riders all sporting his colorful hoodies. The video focuses on streetwear with embroidered sweatshirts, rhinestone jewelry, tees, shoulder bags and plenty of interlocking Cs. "And of course, Karl [Lagerfeld] named the collection," the musician added.
Lagerfeld, who died in February, was creative director of Chanel for more than 30 years (he was succeeded by Virginie Viard). Under Lagerfeld's tenure, Williams starred in a Chanel film carrying the Gabrielle handbag — the brand's first bag advertisement starring a man — along with Kristen Stewart and Cara Delevingne.
"The main thing is that this capsule is sort of unisex, so already that's a new approach. I've been wearing Chanel's women's clothes for years now, but being able to make this capsule unisex gives more people access," Williams told Women's Wear Daily.
Though Chanel has not marketed a men's line, Williams has long advocated for gender-fluid styles. He is credited with helping reinvent menswear on the Hollywood red carpet by wearing pieces like Chanel necklaces to the Oscars in 2017. The "Happy" singer sported guyliner during the Chanel show at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art in December. The next month, Chanel introduced a mini collection of men's makeup to boutiques in the U.S., again suggesting a possible unisex or menswear line in the future.
"This campaign and this film are about a capsule collection, something that they've never done in the history of the brand. They do that not with a designer, but with a musician with ambition and dreams," Williams said in behind-the-scenes footage obtained by The Hollywood Reporter.
"Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel didn't see partitions. And it's interesting, because neither did the brand when it came to giving me a shot. They didn't see partitions. But they're not afraid of these things. Just like she wasn't afraid. There doesn't need to be boundaries. As long as you can hold on to the heritage, and continue to push it, like Karl always does, we don't need walls — we need bridges," Williams added.
He previously collaborated with Chanel and his Adidas Originals project called the Hu line, launched in 2016. Williams customized an Adidas Hu NMD sneaker for the fashion house. "The success of that one sneaker probably opened the door for the team to reach back out to me and offer me this amazing opportunity to create this capsule collection," Williams told WWD. Luxe streetwear has been on the rise, with Virgil Abloh's Off-White being named the hottest fashion brand in the world.
Williams launched his own upscale streetwear brands, Billionaire Boys Club and Ice Cream in 2005, adding Biliionaire Girls Club to the mix in 2013. He is also a partner and creative director at Bionic Yarn, a company that creates raw materials from recycled plastics recovered from the oceans and waterways that are converted into clothing and other products. And he has partnered with Moncler, Uniqlo, Louis Vuitton and other companies on collaborations in the past.
The full Chanel-Pharrell video, partially inspired by the Japanese animation film Akira, will debut Thursday online. Williams said he was influenced by the custom scooters of Tokyo and called Japan his "second home."

Towards the end of 2001, Wilco released their fourth album, and chef d'oeuvre, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot – an album that would cement lead singer Jeff Tweedy's position as one of the great modern American songwriters. Yankee Hotel Foxtrot benefitted, or at least expanded, from unusually good timing, which meant that its lyrics took on an eerily prophetic aspect, being plagued with lines in keeping with, "Tall buildings shake/Voices escape singing sad sad songs", and song titles like 'Ashes of American Flags'. These came in the wake of the inexplicable coincidence that the album was first made available exactly a week after September 11th, and so an album that focused on an individual's sorrow ended up capturing that of a nation.
It was Wilco's zenith: each album that came before it became retrospective stepping stones, and each that followed felt overawed by it. However a few months prior to its release, a Canadian band released their fourth album: Destroyer's Streethawk: A Seduction. And while Yankee Hotel Foxtrot's unfathomable context meant that it echoed its time and place, and only transcended it far later, Streethawk's timelessness was immediate.
It became both a benchmark and a blueprint for Destroyer's following work, and with each new album new layers were added to the sound, intricacies were deepened and pop tendencies became more and more buried. But it is the splendour with which Streethawk is entirely absorbed by those very same tendencies that makes it special.
Perhaps it is the fact that these tendencies collide so deeply with rock and blues that frontman Dan Bejar's arrangements have often been likened to those of early Bowie, and his songwriting, perhaps by extension, to Lou Reed. The latter comparison comes to full fruition on Streethawk. He moulds each song to fit around his words, each of which is a combination of arched pauses, escalating crests and arresting breaks. They expand and contract, arch and bend, and – above all – never sit still for a moment. In a time when pop music was the playground of Britney Spears and Usher, Destroyer took it upon themselves to make a pop record that was never going to trouble a Billboard chart suffering, as it was, from a 90s hangover – but which would be treasured by those who couldn't relate to them.
The album opens with what sounds like the opening notes to a Broadway musical, and the lines "Hey girl, come on and take a whirl in my machine", and the invitation is extended as the song unravels into a triumphant-sounding but tragic-leaning journey through temptation, insipid existence and the need to move to stay alive.
And that's where Dan Bejar truly finds his form, in turning music into a mirror for life. But this isn't done through oblique philosophising, although he's hardly the most direct of writers, and it never feels patronising. What he does is write stories: sometimes fictional, sometimes grounded and sometimes entirely haphazard, but always through his inimitable lens. He has a way of seeing the world that feels uniquely wise, and often refreshingly unaffected. There is no conflict in Bejar's mind, between reality as he perceives it and how it is otherwise perceived. He freely switches between the language of imaginings and the language of impulse, and so Streethawk's happiest moments are underpinned by deep sadness, and its most tragic ones are tinged by humour. And in this way it manages to feel wholeheartedly human.
Its humanity is never more palpable than on 'Farrar, Straus & Giroux (Sea Of Tears)', a song which – in true Bejar fashion – doubles as both a tragically stunning love song and a mournful ode to Ian Curtis. That its most heartrending line, "No man has ever hung, from the rafters of a second home" follows its most romantic, "If that is what it takes, To be a stone, a stone's throw from your throne", means that its tragedy is swallowed until he repeats it again, and the meaning sinks in.
Streethawk may not have achieved the legendary status of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, and in all likelihood never will, but it is an album whose staying power is unmatched in those who hold it dearly. Midway through 'The Crossover', Bejar sings of one of his characters having "traded beauty in for fun". But Destroyer manage to avoid this compromise with Streethawk. It is something of beauty, of fun; it is bombastic and subtle, sprawling and intricate, astute and comical. But most of all, it takes the listener on a journey of unending potential, one which has the power to affect you as deeply as you let it.

August 10, 2018 — The recreational fishing industry today expressed its appreciation to Rep. Rob Wittman (R-Va.) for introducing H.R. 6660, the National Fish Habitat Conservation Through Partnerships Act. This legislation will authorize a national program to conserve, restore and enhance fish habitat across the country for the benefit of recreational fishing.
The foundation for the National Fish Habitat Conservation Through Partnerships Act is the National Fish Habitat Partnership, a voluntary, non-regulatory and locally-driven program housed within the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
The National Fish Habitat Partnership program is currently comprised of 20 individual Fish Habitat Partnerships that focus on specific regions or habitat types. These partnerships include representatives of federal, state and local agencies, conservation and sportsmen's organizations, private landowners and the business sector. To date, more than 600 successful conservation projects have been carried out through these partnerships, benefitting fish habitat and anglers throughout the country.

Business owner cited for mulch delivery time
Matt McLaughlin
James Petre, owner and operator of J&R Mulch and More, 14287 Anthony Highway, Waynesboro, recently received a notice of violation from Washington Township.
Petre has drawn protests from his neighbors in recent years — mostly concerning the noise generated by his business in late or early hours — when applying for conditional use permits to expand his business.
Under the terms of a permit awarded April 21, 2008, the business cannot operate later than 8 p.m. on weekdays during daylight saving time.
Responding to a July 8 complaint, Washington Township police said Petre had received a shipment of mulch after 8 p.m.


This book is full of fascinating life stories and was a window into post-Apartheid South Africa. Trevor Noah's delivery couldn't have been any better - he gave accents to all his characters and could speak in the multiple languages that were in his book. I was completely drawn into his stories and found myself listening to the book outside of times when I usually listen to my Audible books.
I have a 2 and 4 year old and found this book extremely helpful. Dr. Laura Markham is a gifted parent coach. She presents recommended approaches based on research and gives examples and scripts of how to productively handle common situations. This book provided me with lots of helpful tweaks to how I talk with my kids and encourage their sibling relationship. This is honestly the best parenting book I have read.

Civil rights advisory board hears testimony on SB 1070
At a forum Tuesday evening, the Arizona Civil Rights Advisory Board heard testimony from members of the public about the impact of Arizona's immigration law SB 1070. The advisory board is gathering information about the implementation law in order to make future recommendations.
Cesar Valdes, 20, gave comments on SB 1070 to the Arizona Civil Rights Advisory Board on March 26. (Photo by Jude Joffe-Block - KJZZ)
In a meeting that lasted well over two hours, Latino community members told personal stories about being questioned by law enforcement in traffic stops they claimed were motivated by racial profiling. Others shared stories about being fearful of calling the police because of their immigration status.
Cesar Valdes, 20, gave his account of being pulled over by a Phoenix police officer.
"He said if you are illegal we are going to find out and either way you are going to go to Sheriff Joe's jail," Valdes told the advisory board.
Viri Hernandez, an undocumented youth activist said she initially resisted calling police when someone broke into her house because she knew they would ask her for identification.
"I was like, I can't call the police, I am an undocumented student," Hernandez said. "I know my rights, I've been to workshops, I've given workshops. At this particular moment that this was happening, I refused to call the police because I was afraid."
Dulce Juarez of the American Civil LIberties Union told the advisory board that her organization had received the majority of its complaints from community members about interactions with the Phoenix and Tucson Police Departments.
No one representing law enforcement spoke, and no one there commented in favor of the law.
At the conclusion of the meeting, the six Arizona Civil Rights Advisory board members announced their intention to schedule a second meeting in Tucson.


This will be longest stretch without a solo release since the 90's. He could have released something this fall and did a short tour but I guess it's all being saved for the new Fleetwood Mac album. I hope he follows it up with a solo release. He must have a boat load of finished songs.


Welcome to my first blog for 2016! I wish everyone a happy and prosperous new year and I hope that it brings all that you desire.
We have been back in Newcastle now for 6 weeks, so I thought I would post a little more about my home town. I have spent quite a bit of time in by the harbour and around by the beaches, mainly because I enjoy it so much – my heart lifts, my soul is revived and it makes me happy. But I also visit because I have been wanting to practice some photography. I have been doing the 52 week photo challenge, hosted by American artist, Ricky Tims and I have thoroughly enjoyed it – I have learnt so much along the way. He is running a similar course this year – if you are interested click here.
I hope you have enjoyed this visual display of Newcastle and I that I have maybe tempted you to come and visit.
After being away for 19 months living in, and exploring the United States, I returned to the city of my birth and thought I would share something of my hometown for those who don't know it (particularly my American friends).
Newcastle is generally much underrated; being relatively close to Sydney, it is often overlooked as a tourist destination. But let me assure you Newcastle has much to offer.
Newcastle actually made Lonely Planets top 10 cities to visit in 2011 (the first Australian city to do so). It is a vibrant city, with a working harbour and some of the best beaches you will visit! The city is undergoing a bit of a rebirth at the moment; like many cities around the world it has had to reinvent itself in the face of economic changes.
Newcastle is probably most famous for it's coal. It is because of coal, that Newcastle was first settled. Whilst searching for escaped convicts, Lt John Shortland discovered the river (which he named the Hunter River), a deep harbour and an abundance of coal in the area. As a result Newcastle was established as a penal settlement – with convicts mining the coal – and gained a reputation as a "hellhole" – this was the place where the most dangerous convicts were sent, to dig in the coal mines as punishment for their crimes. Newcastle was built on the backs of convict labor and remained a penal settlement until 1822.
In later years, Newcastle's backbone was the BHP steelworks, which operated in the area for 84 years (the steelworks closed in 1999 – marking a significant turning point in the city's history). There is also a great interactive display at Newcastle Museum about BHP – check it out if you can. I think nearly everyone living in Newcastle either worked at BHP, or knew someone who did (both my parents and my husband worked for BHP in Newcastle). As a result Newcastle had the reputation as the Steel City – a very industrial city, and consequently, was looked down upon.
It has taken many years for Newcastle to emerge from the shadows of that dark reputation, but I think it is continuing to develop and reinvent itself and has emerged as a cultural, cosmopolitan place to live and visit. The historic wharf area and railroad workshops have been transformed; areas by the harbour are no longer dirty, industrial or rundown, but are vibrant and alive with new residential buildings, hotels, pubs, restaurants and public pathways and parklands. From where I lived it was a quick 2-minute walk to harbourside restaurants and a pleasant 15-20minute walk along the harbour foreshore to the beaches.
Newcastle may be one-tenth the size of Sydney, but Australia's second-oldest city is punching well above its weight. Superb surf beaches, historical architecture and a sun-drenched climate are only part of the city's charms. There is fine dining, hip bars, quirky boutiques, and a diverse arts scene. And did we mention the laid-back attitude? Yes, Newcastle is definitely worth a day or two of your time.
With a wrap like that, why not come see for yourself and come visit me?
Founded in 1797, Newcastle is the second-oldest city in Australia.
Awabakal is the name of the Aboriginal Indigenous tribe that lived on the banks of the Coquon (Hunter) River which flows past Newcastle (Muloobinba – place of the edible sea fern) on its journey to the sea.
Newcastle Port is the world's largest coal exporting port.
In 1989, Newcastle was rocked by a 5.5 magnitude earthquake, which became Australia's worst natural disaster.
In June 2007 in the midst of a terrific storm, the bulk carrier ship, MV Pasha Bulker, ran aground at Nobby's Beach after it failed to heed warnings to move offshore.
Stockton Beach is the largest moving coastal sand mass in the Southern Hemisphere.
Sand from Stockton Sand Dunes is exported to Hawaii.
Newcastle's 'Bogey Hole' is one of the oldest ocean baths in Australia and was built around 1820 by convicts for the personal use of Commandant Morriset. The name Bogey Hole is derived from an aboriginal term meaning 'to bathe'.
There are 6 beaches within 5 minutes drive of the Newcastle CBD.
Merewether Baths is the largest ocean baths in the Southern Hemisphere.
Iconic Australian biscuit manufacturer Arnott's traces its humble beginnings back to Newcastle when a small bakery was opened by William Arnott in 1865.
2004 Miss Universe, Jennifer Hawkins, once a Newcastle Knights cheerleader, still calls Newcastle home.
In 1801 Australia's first coal mine was established under the present site of Fort Scratchley using convict labour. The entrances were sealed in 1885 when Fort Scratchley was built.
The first and only time that Australian Guns have fired on an enemy vessel during war was when Fort Scratchley's 6-inch guns fired on a Japanese submarine during World War II.
Newcastle was home to the first 'lighthouse' on the east coast – a coal-fired beacon at Colliers Point which opened in 1804. The famous Nobbys Lighthouse was turned on in January of 1858.
Newcastle East Public School, established in 1816, by school teacher Henry Wrensford and seventeen convict children aged 3 – 13 years, is the oldest continuously run school in Australia.
Joy Cummings was Australia's first female Lord Mayor and the Lord Mayor of Newcastle from 1974 – 1984.
I would liked to have added some more/better photographs, but most are on my desktop computer which is still on it's way to me from America; so, sorry for the ordinary (and lack of accompanying) pictures.

The coroner looking into the death of Rhoda Tunu Parr, 14, concluded Quebec's youth protection service provided inadequate followup after the teen had expressed suicidal thoughts. He said it could be symptomatic of a larger problem in Nunavik.
Quebec's youth protection services failed to provide adequate followup with a teen in foster care who had expressed suicidal thoughts, a coroner has concluded.
Coroner Éric Lépine said what happened to 14-year-old Rhoda Tunu Parr could be symptomatic of a larger problem across Quebec's Inuit territory of Nunavik.
Parr died by suicide in the summer of 2017.
In his report, Lépine recommends that Quebec's Commission on Human and Youth Rights evaluate how authorities handled Rhoda Tunu's file.
"We can call this a failure, at least in terms of how her intervention plan was handled," Lépine said in an interview with CBC News.
Rhoda Tunu, described as smart but introverted by her case workers, lived a tumultuous last few years.
Her mother moved from Nunavik to Montreal in 2016 and maintained little contact with her daughter.
Rhoda was bounced from foster home to foster home in Salluit, Quebec's second-northernmost community, from the time she was placed in care until her death, two years later.
She was often absent from school, particularly in 2016 and 2017. She'd told authorities that she was bullied there.
A court ordered that the girl undergo a psychological assessment in 2015, when youth protection first got involved with her care, but it never happened.
"It wasn't a question of choice, it was an order. The order wasn't respected," Lépine said.
Lépine said a psychological evaluation might have helped authorities better evaluate the girl's needs, although there is no way to know whether an intervention would have prevented her death.
In his report, Lépine also said youth protection workers failed to follow up with Rhoda in the three weeks preceding her death, even though they had been notified by her foster family about suicidal remarks she'd made in December 2016.
"A closer watch would have been justified," Lépine wrote.
In addition, according to a police report, a notebook was found after Rhoda's death, foreshadowing the teen's suicidal intentions.
Lépine wrote that social services "remain clearly insufficient" in Salluit and other Inuit communities throughout Nunavik.
In an interview with CBC News, he said his report focused on Rhoda Tunu's death, but in the course of the investigation, he determined that the the regional health authority responsible for youth protection in Nunavik has a lot of difficulty recruiting and retaining staff.
The regional health authority that oversees youth protection in Nunavik calls Rhoda Tunu's case a "deeply regrettable situation," adding that the case is currently under investigation and that it will co-operate with the investigation.
At least 15 Inuit young people, including one still in elementary school, have taken their own lives over the past few months in Nunavik.
Two weeks ago, community leaders held emergency meetings in Nunavik's administrative centre of Kuujjuaq to discuss ways of dealing with the crisis.

The active method is based on recording the reflected rays from the scanning object. The source of such rays is the 3d scanner itself The principle of this method is based on measuring the distance from the scanner to the points of the scan object. The camera reads the reflections and gets the image of the scanned object by distortion. With structured lighting, the object is illuminated by a certain "pattern" (grid), by distortions of which the camera forms the 3d model. This data is either stored in the scanner's memory, and then transferred to the computer, or immediately sent to the computer, where they are processed and build a three-dimensional model. Because The 3d scanner at a time sees only part of the object, during the scanning process it is necessary to move the scanning object, or to move the scanner itself. Thus, as a result, we get a model by sewing the obtained pieces of the object. The passive method uses already existing ambient light. Reflection of this light from the object and analyzed by a 3d scanner. In fact, this method of scanning is either the shooting of an object by ordinary video cameras with different illumination and restoring them in 3d, or shooting the silhouette of an object on a high contrast background using stereoscopic or "silhouette" video cameras.

Sarah Anderson Heinzerling: Statesville's Forgotten Poetess
Posted byAbandoned NC December 15, 2022 Posted inHistory, PeopleTags:Author, iredell county, iredell county nc, north carolina, north carolina history, Poetess, statesville
Sometimes the assault of time against the collective memory of a place can obscure names and stories that were once meaningful to it. Much of what I do in researching local events and people is the attempt to rediscover these lost entities and tell their story as best I can with what remains.
This story begins with a small softcover chapbook of poetry I came upon. Really quite insignificant in material and not terribly interesting to look at, save for the title printed in silver paint on the red embossed cover: "Songs of Iredell." I venture outside of the county on occasion, but Iredell is my home and my main area of study, and so it immediately grabbed my attention. What were these "songs?" What is their content? And just who was Sarah Anderson Heinzerling?
Sarah as an adult, sometime after 1911.
Sarah Anderson Chance was born September 11th, 1862 in Reidsville, North Carolina to William Anderson Chance and his wife Elizabeth Jane Allen Chance.
Sarah would never know her father. He enlisted into the 13th NC Infantry Regiment as part of K company, known as the "Dixie Boys" shortly before she was born. William likely saw fighting at South Mountain and Antietam before the regiment was transferred to Pender's Brigade of the Army of Northern Virginia. William would contract diphtheria and die at a hospital in Staunton, Virginia in October of 1862 at only 25 years old. He was buried at the Thornrose Cemetery with other casualties from the field hospital.
William's family wouldn't even hear of his death until six months later. One of Sarah's uncles would go to Virginia to look for the grave, eventually finding it and marking it as best he could, but nothing remains of William's grave today.
I don't know how Sarah's mother Elizabeth managed to keep up herself and her daughter. Pension for confederate widows wouldn't start in NC until 1885 so one would assume her family assisted in some way. Whatever the case, she must have been a formidable woman. Sadly, we know very little about her.
Being an only child, Sarah entertained herself in any way she could. This included reading books, such as the novel Morton House (which she devoured at 16 years old) by NC native "Christian Reid," the male pen name of female author Frances Tiernan. The book made such an impression on her that she decided after finishing the book she would write her own novel, but eventually decided not to simply write "light novels and verse" for money. Tiernan's impact on the young girl was such that later in life Sarah wrote a poem to memorialize Tiernan's passing.
Despite this, Sarah recalled in a 1934 Statesville Daily Record article that her chief delight as a child had been memorizing and reciting poetry. This was done at home but also at the regular Friday afternoon poetry recitals her first schoolmaster F.P. Hopgood organized. It was said even poems like Grays Elegy were no match for her.
To My First Teacher
Your precepts live within my heart;
From tiny seeds of learning sown
In my young mind so long ago
Have sturdy plants of knowledge grown
To bud and blow.
The memory of your face, I hold
With other treasures of those days,
(the happiest life could bestow),
When you were pointing out the ways
My feet should go.
Our paths diverged as life paths will;
I was a child, now I am gray,
But this I write that you may know
I travel still the same highway
You bade me go.
In addition to her first schoolmaster, she also spent time under the tutelage of Miss Emma Scales, who was the sister of governor Alfred Scales, and who founded the Reidsville Seminary in 1874. According to Sarah, Miss Scales would get "highly indignant" if the girls of her school did not read with expression.

At 19 years old on April 28th, 1881 Sarah would marry for the first time to John Thomas Cubbage (or "McCubbage" depending on where you find his name printed) who would have been 27 at the time. Not much is known about her first marriage or her husband. John was originally from Connecticut and was a painter by profession according to census records, but beyond that there's very little to tell us who he was or how he met Sarah. The marriage would only last two years, and John would die in 1883 while in Ohio likely visiting family. Whether due to illness or accident is unknown.
Sarah herself began writing poetry seriously at age 20 during this marriage.
J.E. Heinzerling later in life.
In 1890, an outsider from Washington, D.C. named John Ernest Heinzerling came to Reidsville. Heinzerling was a widower himself, having lost his first wife Alice, and had come to town as a worker for the Corbett brothers, who were in the business of installing mills and milling equipment.
The millwright Heinzerling had done this sort of job in the past and was in the habit of attending prayer meetings at the Baptist churches in the communities where he found himself working. In Reidsville, his entry into the First Baptist church must have been destiny, and he soon fell in love with an attractive young widow in the church's choir named Sarah.
John and Sarah were married on Christmas eve, 1891 in the same church where they first met.
May cupid's arrow
Pointed fine,
Pierce through your heart
To lodge in mine
The newlyweds would move to Salem, Virginia as John pursued another milling job there, but would be back in Reidsville by 1894. It's believed Sarah's mother lived with them permanently after they were married, and was most certainly with them in 1900 when the census is taken. Elizabeth would die in 1907. She would be buried with her sister Rachel Allen, who had died in 1894.
Sarah and John were deeply involved in the First Baptist Church of Reidsville. In addition to Sarah's place in the choir, she was part of many groups within the church and regularly read poems on special occasions. Even after they moved away, Sarah would send poems to her friends at the church.
John would become a deacon, teach Sunday school, and serve as the Sunday school superintendent in 1909.
During these first years of marriage, Sarah would give birth to 4 children; Ernest Percy in 1892, Amy Anderson in 1895, Myrtle Louise in 1896, and Henry Allen in 1900. During these years she worked at least part time as a florist.

In 1911 the flour mill in Statesville was looking for a head miller, and through unknown means came upon an experienced and hardworking man named Heinzerling, who they offered the position to.
Sarah and John would move to Statesville that year, taking a house somewhere on Broad Street. They would remain there until 1914, when they would move to 113 North Tradd Street in downtown Statesville, across the road from where the First Baptist Church was located at the time. Today the church and the Heinzerling's house are long gone. The church was replaced with a large bank building sometime after the church moved to a larger building on Davie Avenue in 1954. I'm unsure when Sarah and John's house was torn down.

Sarah instantly became a part of the community. Her involvement with the First Baptist Church of Statesville meant she was again in the choir, and it seems with her free time she set about joining various civic groups, eventually becoming a member of The Iredell War Mothers, United Daughters of The Confederacy, The Statesville Woman's Club, and state organizations such as The North Carolina Bird Club, The North Carolina Poetry Society, The National League of American Pen Women, The State Literary and Historical Association, and the North Carolina Poetry Society.

Her children also found a place in Statesville, with her daughters taking after their mother and showing an interest in the arts.
In Amy, this manifested as a gift for music, and it was said that her technique in playing classical pieces from composers such as Chopin was brilliant and her touch delicate. Amy would eventually become the organist at First Baptist and would teach students the piano.
Her sister Myrtle seems to have had some talent on the piano as well, and there are various mentions of her in the local papers playing at weddings and other occasions.
Henry just before being drafted.
Henry would do various things as a boy, even selling homemade fly traps of his own design through the Lazenby Montgomery Hardware store. To some degree he took up his father's profession and may have helped with mill construction before he was drafted into the Army during WWI. Luckily for Henry, because of his age he wasn't called up until October of 1918. The war was over by the next month and Henry was sent back home in December. He would enroll in Universal Chiropractic College in Pittsburgh, PA shortly thereafter, graduating in June 1922 as class president. Returning home, he would open up an office in Statesville later that year at the People's Loan and Savings Bank building, but would move away to Asheville in June, 1923 with his wife.
Ernest worked as a rural mail carrier in his younger years. Despite being eligible for the draft, he was never called to service during WWI. He would receive education at the North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts and would take work at the same mill where his father worked. He would remain an employee there his whole life.
Statesville in the 1920's.
Sarah's husband John also made himself a fixture of the new town they would call home. As an employee of the mill, he took his job seriously, even making biscuits from various batches of flour to ensure quality of the product he was signing his name to. Besides his diligent work supervising the flour mill, he was again active in the church and would be both a deacon and custodian for First Baptist in addition to helping wherever help was needed, serving during various functions and with various committees. He was remembered after his death as generous, kind, and utterly dependable.
By the mid 1920's, Sarah's interest in writing is flowering, and she helps to organize The North Carolina chapter of the League of American Pen Women. She would take a particular interest in the group, making trips to Washington D.C. for national meetings and even becoming the state vice president of the group in North Carolina, the highest office in the state. Part of her duty as vice president was supervising the various branches of the club within the state.
That same year Sarah would also start self-publishing a "leaflet" called "The Pioneer" which would showcase literary work from North Carolina women and even some of her own poetry. The leaflet was sold by subscription for 50 cents per year, and Sarah published it for 2 years before giving up on the venture for unknown reasons.
She also was in the habit of hosting poetry competitions in the community and statewide, usually through the various organizations she was a member of. Winners were sometimes rewarded with cash and sometimes with other prizes. It was a practice she would continue into old age.
In 1933, Sarah submits a poem to a statewide contest hosted by the Literature Department of the North Carolina Federation of Women's Clubs. Her entry titled "Willow Whistles" submitted under the pen name "Sanderson Chance" would win the Poetry Cup for 1933-1934.
Willow Whistles
Oh, it's time for making whistles!
Let us go-let us go,
To the wild secluded places
Where lilting streamlets flow;
Where graceful pussy-willows
In a shining silver throng,
Are dancing by the waters
To the music of their song.
It is time for making whistles
That will blow-that will blow;
For the green is on the upland,
The woods and hedges glow;
The South Wind wafts a greeting-
The birds a welcome sing;
Oh, it is time for willow whistles
To pipe in praise of Spring!

The next year, at 72 years old, with her award winning poem, several she had already published in The Pioneer, and a number of others that had never seen the light of day, Sarah Heinzerling published her first book. A 46 page chapbook of sorts named Songs of Iredell, it was printed and bound by Brady Printing in Statesville and was instantly lauded in the local papers. It came as no surprise to anyone who knew Sarah, and no doubt her friends and family had been privy to at least some of the poems contained within the little red book of verse.
Before the end of her life, she would publish two more small volumes of her verse. "Pines of Rockingham," and "The Call."
On Saturday March 31st of 1941, Sarah's husband John suffered a stroke shortly after arriving at work. He was taken to Davis Hospital where it was thought he might recover, but he was never himself again. John Heinzerling, the love of Sarah's life and her faithful companion of 50 years suffered a slow decline. He would die at the hospital in August of 1941 at the age of 77. A couple months later the local newspaper would devote almost an entire page to a proper obituary, noting that every kindness and virtue of character a man could have were to be found in John Ernest Heinzerling.
It Is Not Death To Die
One morning very early,
Death paused on our street;
And when he left, an old man's
Life cycle was complete;
A frail and gentle old man
Who smiled as he passed by;
Content to go on living,
But not afraid to die.
In that new life he entered,
Youth will return to him;
Strength to his weary body,
And sight to eyes grown dim.
Why weep then, at his going?
Instead rejoice that he
Was ready for the journey
Into Eternity.
It's hard to say just what John's death meant to Sarah. After his passing, her name appears less and less in the local papers. Her time is probably less frequently spent doing the work of the local clubs she was a member of. I don't know if it was grief, her age finally catching up with her, or a little of both.
Despite these things, Sarah herself would carry on for another 13 years after John, living the whole time with her daughter Amy and son Ernest in the house she and her husband had called home for 40 years. She died on March 11th, 1954 at 91 years old and was buried in Oakwood Cemetery, in the family plot with her husband, and where Ernest, Henry, and Amy would be buried later.
Legacy is a hard word to define when talking about a single person. Sarah Heinzerling was no doubt someone who left a legacy. Her work in the community and in the various civic groups impacted people locally, all over the state, and in various parts of the country. Her writings, while modest and nearly forgotten today have been a part of the lives of all who knew her and associated with her. Even after her death, her poems were being read on special occasions at churches and other places in Statesville.
But time has a way of washing away people and their deeds, of obscuring things that were once important, and today we don't hear her poems anymore. But for a small marker in a cemetery one might pass by, we don't even think of her name.
But I hope in hearing her story you take from her life and poetry what you can. Whether it's in her clear and defined love of nature and her home state, or in her introspective lyrics about faith, aging, and death, her poems have something timeless to tell us.
It's my sincere hope by drawing back the curtain of the years that people today may once again see her as she was and as she should be seen. As Statesville's most important and beloved poetess.
At Seventy
Seven decades bring
Life so near its close,
It seems wise to take
Time for calm repose;
So, I lay aside
Many dear desires-
Lock the door of dreams,
Bank ambition's fires.
Broken bones will mend.
Wounded flesh will heal;
Stricken hearts retain
Power to throb and feel;
But a spirit tried
As my soul has been,
loses strength to fight,
And the will to win.
I am reconciled-
Proud of every scar;
Discontent shall not
Future pleasure mar;
Youth was blessed with hopes
That have ceased to be;
Grant to age instead,
Sweet tranquility.
If you'd like to read Mrs. Heinzerling's book for yourself, I've taken the effort of removing what little remained of the glue binding and the rusted staples used to hold it together in order to scan this small volume I have. It will be available here and on Archive.org as a searchable PDF.
The Iredell County Library has one other book Heinzerling published, but it is not in public circulation. If you have any copies of her other two works, or anything else pertaining to her life, such as information about her leaflet The Pioneer, please see the contact page to get in touch with me.

I found a sentence or two in almost every chapter that I wanted to highlight. I enjoyed the positive messages.
Very inspiring and uplifting book. Made a major impact in my recovery process. Helped me to understand and explain insightful, inner fears, joy, life changing. Helps me understand our Heavenly Father. I highly recommend this book for those who struggle from day to day addictions.
This book is a guide on how to get your life back on track and closer to God. Using their own personal life's experiences, the authors share how they turned their lives in the directions needed and how important the blessing of repentance is in our lives. The book discusses that although wrong roads are taken, it is always possible to turn back, start over and get on course.
This book was a good life guide for all. I enjoyed reading it.
I enjoyed Heaven 24/7 immensely. The stories shared by Kathryn and Celeste are definitely filled with glimpses of Heaven 24/7, while portraying the light that shines ever so bright and reveals the truth. And truly within those truths, we all have a story.
From Kathryn's advice on handing God the stone you are carrying, to Celeste's explaining how some stories are funny, mundane, absolute gifts to the Majestic songs of Mt. Hood to the Creator, Heaven 24/7 is a must read.
There are so many riveting and heartfelt jewels within this book. Such as Celeste desire to have her life to be aligned with God's laws and will. And Kathryn's Heavenly Father teaching her to see Doug ( Her Husband)- as he was going to be. "He was glorious" I was taught a valuable lesson from this as I commit to loving in the same manner, an incredible man of God, the Lord has brought into my life.
And Celeste brought out a great point when she stated: "Like a tub without water, we may be searching for healing, but forgetting from whence it come." We truly can experience Heaven 24/7 through the healing power of God.
And one of my favorite means to experience Heaven 24/7 is explained in their account of knowing who you are in the eyes of God. As Kathryn states it so eloquently: "We are diamonds. God's daughters. His diamonds". And Celeste recognizing that God has created her to be a powerful, passionate and creative woman who uses her beautiful gift of singing to elevate and lift others. And when we do, we can, as sated by Kathryn: "Give mercy without being fake" And apply this amazing lesson from Celeste: "No matter the circumstances, mercy has been extended.
I highly recommend this Majestic Heavenly Book!
I love it. Very open experiences to help people know they are not the only ones experiencing tough issues. I love your insights and the "parables" you open each section with and reference in the chapter.
I once had a dream/personal revelation where I spoke with Christ at a turningpoint in my life where I had to make a serious decision about what direction I wanted to go. I felt that powerful, overwhelming love that fills your wholebody you spoke of; a level of love that really is hard to fathom in our earthly existence. I must say, more than once - especially during tough times - I have remembered that feeling to have it lift me and I can't wait to return to my Heavenly Father and Savior to feel it all the time. It is truly an amazing feeling.
I finished your Heaven 24/7 book today. I did write impressions and some experiences at the end of most sections. I am still, and will continue pondering any "weeds in my relationships, as well as my own personal "mission statement". Thank you for the insights you and Kathryn both shared, and the faith-inspiring experiences. I did enjoy it very much, and look forward to the future series forthcoming.

The Most Valuable Skills to Learn as a Data Scientist Today
By Prad Upadrashta | November 14, 2019
There are a certain set of timeless skills that one should aim to develop over the course of their career in the field of data science:
Knowing how to frame a problem technically.
Recognizing and understanding the importance of context.
Learning fast and adapting to context.
Adapting to an ever-changing technology and methodology landscape, while skillfully selecting the right technology and method for your problem.
Knowing how to articulate it clearly to stakeholders.
Constructing a working solution, and understanding its real impact.
Having a deep conceptual and practical working knowledge spanning multiple domains: Statistics/Math, Coding, Design, Infrastructure, Process, and Business.
Knowing your limitations and being able to ask for help effectively in a timely manner.
Knowing how to measure impact.
Understanding the implications and limitations of a technical result, within the business context.
Articulating the result(s) to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Thinking conceptually on your feet, in a room full of people of varying degrees of technical sophistication, from junior team/client members to senior leaders and key stakeholders.
Generating buy-in across the organization.
Driving independent lines of investigation with a lot of uncertainty.
Managing process risk effectively, and having the foresight and/or resourcefulness to sidestep potential problems.
Being able to manage multiple competing priorities.
Delivering accurate working solutions under unrealistic deadlines. This can't be emphasized enough — learn to manage expectations well. Know that you will often fail at managing these expectations — so have a plan when things don't go well. The reality is, no one really knows what you do — which means they will fill in the blanks in their minds with whatever they want.
Being able to work effectively in a multi-disciplinary team, along with cross-functional teams.
Thinking about problems in an "end to end" manner: Providing upstream and downstream technical guidance to collaborating teams.
Winning hearts & minds: Challenging the status quo, fearlessly; while defending your solution technically in rooms full of people who often have much more experience than you do in their specific domains.
I think what I am trying to get across is that you should learn to survive and thrive under uncertainty, and have the confidence and know-how to drive the entire process independently.
Being an enduring and successful data scientist is about embracing the unknown, chewing a lot of glass, and kissing a lot of frogs — which is what makes unicorns so rare. It is not easy. But, it can be rewarding for the right kind of person and mindset.
Finally, and most importantly, learn to appreciate Dilbert humor. That is your "sexy" "mythical" "unicorn" life from now on. Revel in it.
