New whey'd partner - Claridges Hotel, London.
Our mission at whey'd is to provide pure, high quality whey protein powder. Giving people easier access to an ethical, outdoor, grass-fed, GMO-free source of whey is something that was previously merely a myth, until whey'd came along!
Part our mission is to work with people & companies that have the same desire to provide individuals, like yourself, with the purest, simplest forms of high quality products.
That's where Claridge's Hotel have come in.
One of the most prestigious and reputable hotels in the world, Claridge's have wowed customers for over 200 years with their amazing customer service and attention to detail. They even have long-standing connections with royalty, leading to being known as the "annexe to Buckingham Palace"!
Claridge's fitness suite is run by head trainer Steve Mellor, who works with clients in a small but efficient gym, offering members and guests a great option for staying fit. As part of their gym membership, fitness bods are offered a post workout silver platter, holding a protein shake, coconut water and protein balls – offering the perfect balance of protein & nutrients needed for recovery.
After first being introduced to Steve, the collaboration to get whey'd powder included in the shakes and balls was one that didn't take long. Claridge's pride themselves on offering all guests and members only the best quality products, so using whey'd powder was a natural enhancement of their offering, to help give a boost to their post-gym platter.
Claridge's loved not only the quality and richness of nutrients that whey'd provides, but also our ethos of giving something back to charity. The fact that every sachet provides a glass of milk to a child in need was important to them.
Claridge's head chef Martyn Nail is working with his team in the kitchen to even further enhance the post workout supplementation and it's great to be working so closely with a Michelin Star chef who loves what whey'd stands for.
Keen to make the most of the amazing canvas that Claridge's offers, we managed to get access to the famous Penthouse Suite, once lived in by Sir Winston Churchill, to get some shots of our whey'd sachets in action. Staying fit and healthy when travelling can be very hard (mainly due to no brands offering convenient travelling options) and our sachets were designed to do just that – help people easily supplement on-the-go.
Protein is a macronutrient that your body constantly needs through the day and it can be difficult (without good preparation) to get a good source of protein when travelling. Our sachets are easily portable and allow you to take a high-quality whey on-the-go, just thrown a few in your travel bag and a-whey'd you go!!
We're really looking forward to working closely with Claridge's going forward as they help us achieve our mission and stay tuned as we've got some great hotel workouts that you can use to keep you in-shape after checking in!

Q: new Xcode + GitHub A new Mac laptop with OSX 10.13 with Xcode 9 on it gets run time errors from a cloned the project that runs fine 10.8 OSX and Xcode 5
The C++ project throws Run-Time-Exception against one of the dylib's that are part of my project saying they can not be found in /usr/local/lib.
Below is the image trying to run the program on the new machine under new Xcode:

Below is a screenshot of trying to run the program from the Terminal:

Those are instructions I followed to create the original project on the old machine.
How do I fix this runtime?

A: The first place to start would be checking the health and presence of the file in the dyld error:
/usr/local/lib/liblibdbwindow.dyld

Or fix the linking errors by changing what libraries the project expects.

Is health anxiety making you ill?
Hypochondria, also known as Health Anxiety, needs to be taken seriously. This page is to provide a comprehensive guide to health anxiety, including an explanation of what it is, what causes hypochondria, and signs and symptoms.
Health Anxiety is living in fear that you have a serious illness, even though you are well. You may not feel well, you probably have physical symptoms in your body and you are constantly worried that you have a serious disease.
contract it. It's okay if you are feeling this, it is just your brain picking up on all mentions of illness.
Attending doctors to be given a clean bill of health, but not feeling relieved. Scared that they have missed something.
The aches and pains are still there, the fear is still there, the worries about her health are still there – the reassurance is not enough, and she worries that they have missed something, she goes back to the doctors, and the cycle continues.
The problem is, the things you do to make yourself feel better, may be making your health anxiety worse.
avoiding things that make you feel nervous, anxious or afraid – or that you believe may 'trigger' your health fears.
If you are doing things that are not helpful, you could be strengthening Health Anxiety in your brain. You can see what I mean in the following video taken from my online self help course for Health Anxiety.
Health Anxiety comes under the umbrella term of anxiety.
For many of us, it is the things that we do to ourselves, that can result in feeling anxious. Our self talk.
If for example, you hear a lot of coverage on the news of, lets say, cancer, this can filter through to your thought processes. You might start to think of people you know that have cancer. You might check it out on the internet and do some research.
The more time you give to this health worry, in your thought processes, the more likely you are to think about it again.
Your brain starts to pay attention. You will start to become finely tuned to anything related to cancer. Your attention is easily grabbed by it, and you may eventually start to worry about the possibility that you might either get cancer in the future or have it now.
These worries, in turn, will make you feel anxious or afraid. Your brain starts to pay more attention. Thoughts relating to cancer cause fear in your body. Your brain shall take note of this, as it may represent a threat for you.
Our brain takes careful note of anything that may cause us harm. If you ever accidentally burned yourself on the stove, your brain will make note of what caused you injury, to help alert you to the hot stove in the future, in order to prevent pain.
Think of this as a better safe than sorry principle. This better safe than sorry principle shall also apply to thoughts that are creating feelings of anxiety or fear in your body, and they can start to be stored in your brain, with all the thoughts and feelings that you get when you think of cancer.
Each time you think of cancer, or hear anything about it, your brain can then give you all the thoughts and feelings of anxiety and fear that you have, that relate to cancer.
It is very easy then, for the initial fear of cancer to spread to other illnesses that may cause you harm, as your brain is already armed with knowledge to protect you from threat. Whether the threat is real or not.
Health worries start to create real physical symptoms in your body.
Your brain, by this stage, is on the alert for possible danger and it is then easy for you to start to misinterpret what is happening in your body.
If your thought processes are concerned with serious illness, it will not make sense for your brain to think that symptoms you feel in your body may be the result of anxiety, that was caused by worries relating to your health.
Better safe than sorry, your thoughts will be more like this.
What if it is a brain tumor?
Your brain frantically searches to try to make sense of what is happening to you. You start to analyze all symptoms and sensations you feel in your body, which will be many at this stage.
You may well undertake some research on the internet looking for something to explain the symptoms you feel. And you will find many possible explanations and diagnosis for how you feel. Which frightens you more.
These thoughts and symptoms will start to interfere with your daily life. It is understandable, that if you are worried that something is seriously wrong with you, and you feel physical symptoms in your body, that you will want a medical work up.
When the results come back clear and you still have the symptoms, you worry more, as you have not received an explanation that makes sense to you and accounts for how you feel. Nor are you able to get the thoughts and fears out of your head.
Creates more anxiety and more physical symptoms which you cannot get relief from, as the tests that you have undertaken show that nothing is physically wrong.
You cannot get peace of mind that nothing is wrong as your body is experiencing symptoms for which the medical tests cannot explain. You try to find your own explanation by maybe researching on the internet, only to find several serious illnesses that appear to account for your symptoms, which further reinforces the vicious cycle.
If you want to get over Health Anxiety, the recommended treatment is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT. I would also personally recommend that you find someone who can also offer you Acceptance And Commitment Therapy, and Mindfulness, as I firmly believe you then have all the tools you need to not only understand Health Anxiety, but get your life back to normal.
If you would like my help, I am a Dr of Psychology and specialise only in Anxiety Disorders, you do not have to see me in person, as I have an online program that follows the format of face to face sessions with myself and includes all the treatment models mentioned above.


This lovely summery dessert would work just as well with other seasonal soft fruits. Try raspberries, blackberries or stewed gooseberries.
Place a third of the strawberries in a food processor with the icing sugar and blend to make a purée. You may have to do this in batches.
Whip the cream in a very large bowl until soft peaks have formed then stir in the yoghurt, chopped strawberries and the purée.


Identity Exploration Ltd was established in 2005 but is founded on an approach that has been developed and refined over twenty-five years.
Our core methodology, Identity Structure Analysis, was created and developed by Professor Peter Weinreich, now Emeritus Professor of Psychology at the University of Ulster. Originally graduating in with BSc Hons Physics, Prof. Weinreich's interest in Identity stemmed from his own biographical experiences. As the son of a German immigrant family who arrived in England in 1939, Peter Weinreich grew up in a post-war Britain coming to terms with its increasing diversity. Growing experiences with his British nationality (by birth in England) and British culture were contrasted with his own family background and led eventually to a deep interest in the identity processes in play at the individual and group levels.
Ultimately, this interest led Peter Weinreich to the world of Psychology and his thirty year career in this field has incorporated multiple research projects into the complexities of human identity. With a personal specialism in Race and Ethnicity, Prof. Weinreich is a leading member of the International Association of Cross-Cultural Psychologists and also a Chartered Member of the British Psychological Society.
The decision to commercialise ISA was taken in earnest in 2005 with the formation of a limited company and an injection of start-up capital. Early priorities included the creation of a dedicated software programme, Ipseus, which operationalises many aspects of the ISA framework. Alongside this, new applications for ISA were developed, in particular focusing on the World of Work and Organisational Development. A complete family of HR Assessments was developed, which includes several individual self reports and an advanced 360 appraisal tool. More recently, using additional group comparison features, we have brought to market an innovative tool for analysing Organisational Culture, marketed as 'Culture Check'.
The origins of ISA in cross-cultural applications also remain a priority area for us. Specialist projects are underway in Northern Ireland, England, the Middle East and Asia looking at the structure of different identities in these regions, many of which are associated with problematic relationships and violence. We have a specific interest in mechanisms to screen for fundamentalist orientations whether these be in the context of political, religious or social perspectives.
We also maintain close working relationships with academics and researchers around the world. The ISA methodology has been used as an investigative tool in 25 PhDs on diverse issues, ranging from the clinical to the cross-cultural, and is in use in research projects in Israel, Hong Kong, Ireland and the UK.
Delivered using the latest developments in ISA through our bespoke software system, Ipseus.

Micro Focus announced the acquisition of Interset, a provider of security analytics software that provides highly intelligent and accurate cyber-threat protection.
The addition of this predictive analytics technology adds depth to Micro Focus' Security, Risk & Governance portfolio, and aligns with the company's strategy to help customers quickly and accurately validate and assess risk as they digitally transform their businesses.
"The combination of the Interset technology with Micro Focus' broad security portfolio is a powerful combination that will produce a level of protection that will be unmatched in the market," said Mark Smialowicz, Interset's CEO. "Our 'Data In, Intelligence Out' methodology will deliver an even-more complete set of benefits for our combined customers – allowing them to leverage near real-time information to address both immediate- and long-term threats."
- Extensible analytics – With multiple use cases out of the box – including inside threats, targeted attacks, and fraud – the technology eliminates the need for expensive product consultations and customization.
- Principled math – The software utilizes a growing library of more than 350 proven machine-learning and advanced-analytics models, applying them to both events and entities, to yield a highly accurate means of detecting, connecting, and quantifying high-risk behaviors.
- Scalable Big Data – The flexible, open platform combines an advanced-analytics engine with open-source, big-data technology, including Kafka, Spark, Phoenix, Hadoop, HBase, Elasticsearch, ZooKeeper, d3, and Kibana. It can be deployed in the Vertica, Hortonworks or Cloudera infrastructures, scaling to meet the needs of the largest, most-sophisticated environments.


Can Autism or Aspergers be Misdiagnosed as Lyme disease?
One of the first issues is how frequent Lyme disease is in the USA and how often is it found to cross the placenta.
First, all agree Lyme is at least ten times more frequent than it is diagnosed, and one study says it is reported in 1/40 patients. All agree it is the top vector illness in the USA.
Second, the Lyme Times will be publishing some material on "gestational Lyme" around late 2005. My experience is that Lyme does not routinely cross the placenta, but it is possible. I do not know the frequency. Perhaps in 1/10 pregnancies, but that is a guess.
Third, early exposure is under-estimated. Last month I was in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, two of the Lyme disaster states. I was visiting a number of relatives and friends. Four had children under three and all were getting routine Lyme exposures. How?
One home had a pat dog and a pet cat that occasionally went outside. I saw the two year old playing with both animals. Many insects and animals carry Lyme, but perhaps most by the poppy seed sized deer tick. I have never been able to see a deer tick. Touching an animal once is all it takes. Once.
In another home, the mother went walking outside under the pine trees an hour a day with her eight-month-old infant. *One home in New Jersey had their twins out in the grass in the back yard. The tiny crawling toddlers are primed for exposure.
In a final example, Little Amy is the love of an upper New York family. Her brother has a nice tree fort, and when he comes in for diner, he loves to look in on his new sister, who is five months old. Last month, her Uncle say a deer tick on the floor under her crib. Perhaps it was from her brother's exposure?
When these Lyme positive patients go to see so-called "autism experts" with their fair treatments, many show a massive ignorance on this subject. One would think that with their impotent solutions, they would be a little slower to dismiss, and show a willingness to learn the newest 2005 research and materials. The vast majority of autism "experts" are only open to considering their poor treatment options, and are unwilling to consider Lyme as a possible cause or that Lyme can cause further damage to brain tissue.

Tulip sleeves add movement to a crisp crepe blouse while a pleated front lends a polished look.
Black Bow Back Crepe Blouse is rated 4.0 out of 5 by 11.
Rated 5 out of 5 by SStephS from Beautiful details I bought this a month ago and love it! Fits well and standard sizes and the bow details in the back get tons of compliments.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sylvia29 from Super flatering I bought this to wear on my birthday this year and I'm glad I did. The sleeves are super flattering, flowy fit, and cute bows on the back. I'm in between sizes but could have easily gone one size down.
Rated 5 out of 5 by ReginaF from Love this top! This is such a beautiful top! I am collecting it in as many colors as possible. It is so lovely and feminine. I would love one in a deep green color.
Rated 5 out of 5 by xtinebean from So cute and comfortable! This shirt is extremely flattering on my 'apple' body type. It's super flowy without being oversized (I ordered in my normal Torrid shirt size). The sleeve details are a lovely addition. This is an easy top to throw on with a dangly necklace and for a dressier look. I love it!
Rated 5 out of 5 by Paulee from Really feminine. Great staple. The length is great (not too short) and the material is flowy and feminine.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kelanne1111 from Such a cute top I love this top. I saw it in burgundy, but that's not really my color. So when it was available in black, I bought it. I think it's so cute. The only thing bad that I would have to say is that it snags on things easily so be careful. Otherwise, a great buy.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jewels2 from Love the sleeves Cute shirt, love the sleeves. Wish there was a little more shape to the torso, but otherwise I'm happy with my purchase. Frabic is light and airy, which I also like.
Rated 2 out of 5 by QWERTY66 from Fabric snags easily. Bought less then a month ago and wore with a long necklace. The necklace snagged the fabric and threads were pulled. Think of a sweater unraveling. Needless to say I now have a hole in it. Overall cute top with fun back.
Rated 2 out of 5 by SWANKY from Too Large This item runs large and then looks sloppy. Not available in store so I could try on prior to ordering.
Rated 1 out of 5 by MotherOfDragons84 from Do not buy This was the most disappointing purchase ive ever made from torrid or anywhere actually. My expectations were so high because this top is adorable in person. I felt cute and dressy, yet it could be worn casually too. I love the detail on the back and sleeves to make it a little more than the average black tshirt. All was perfect until the first time i put it on. I was headed to a volunteers luncheon and had to do some errands first. On my first stop the top snagged on my wedding ring and pulled a thread all the way down the front of my top. On my way to the car, it snagged on a basket and 2 more threads pulled half way down as i panicked and was able to stop them from going further. I had to make a few other stops and then i made it home to look in the mirror and it was obvious the top was ruined. This put me in tears and ruined my mood for the day. I would not buy this top again. It made me feel better to see other reviews and know that it wasnt just me. This shirt is only good if youre going to stand in place and take pictures... with no jewelry!! Highly disappointed, torrid should take this one down. It is a dud.

Q: Spotify Podcast Embed Code It appears the Spotify embed code does not work with Podcast episodes. The developer section found here - https://developer.spotify.com/technologies/widgets/spotify-play-button/ only appears to work with "tracks", but not "episode", which is how Podcasts tracks are labeled.
I tried to substitute the existing "track" from the iFrame code with "episode", but it renders a "page not found" message.
That said, how do we rectify this to include Podcast episode support in your API?


After 20 years, we finally made a return visit to Bourgeau Lake. This time, we opted to hike beyond the popular Bourgeau Lake, pushing on to Harvey Pass and then to the summit of Mount Bourgeau. In my opinion, the unnamed tarn about 1.2 km beyond Bourgeau Lake is the scenic highlight of this route, with the views from Harvey Pass a close second. It was worth hiking all the way to the summit (once), but I'm not sure I'd do that again. This was the longest day hike we did in the Canadian Rockies in 2015, coming in at just under 25 km in just over 8 hours, with a total elevation gain of well over 1500 meters.

A visit to Moraine Lake is rated the #1 thing to do in the Lake Louise area of Banff National Park. While a quick stop will net you a selfie and a stroll by the shoreline, a few hours will get you a completely different perspective on the Valley of the Ten Peaks. Bring plenty of water, a packed lunch, bear spray and your camera!

Swapnote was a simple 3DS feature which allowed people to share simple text notes and small images. The caveat was the Friend Code system: Only registered friends could share such notes. This was a protection feature to save kids from themselves, and adults from unwanted images. Playing Uno on XBLA with the camera enabled certainly proved how "flamboyant" online strangers could be when facing such a device.
But, it would seem those safety measures were not enough. Kids were sharing Friend Codes online to send Swapnotes with what Nintendo calls, "explicit" materials. It would be best NOT to know specifically what they are referring to.
As such, Nintendo 3DS' worldwide began blinking last night to signify an inbox message. Said text stated the decision to immediately cease the online functionality of the app. Nintendo themselves often used the feature to send holiday messages, but it would seem those are no more. Swapnote is effectively useless unless you choose to use it locally, much like PictoChat on the DS, the feeble remains of a good idea turned sour.

I-405 was approved as a chargeable interstate on Sept. 15, 1955. [3 ] [4 ] The first section of I-405 opened in 1957, signed as CA 7. The part west of I-605 was done before 1965; the newest section, near the southern junction with I-5, opened in 1969. [5 ] [7 ]
When the number for this route was being decided (in the 1950s), California suggested "Interstate 9." [3 ]

30.30 miles [6 ]; goes east of Lake Washington to serve suburbs of Seattle.
The idea for a bypass road is at least 60 years old. When the US 10 freeway (now I-90) from Seattle to Issaquah was built in 1940, designers put in a two-lane overpass where I-405 would eventually be built. The overpass sat unused for 14 years (this is not, however, anywhere close to a record.)
The portion of I-405 from NE 160th St. to what is now Sunset Blvd opened in stages from 1954 to 1957. It was originally called "Secondary State Hwy 2A" (SSH-2A) until 1964, when it became State Route 405. It was to have been posted US 99E, but by 1964 the 405 signs were replacing WA 1 signs. The section from I-90 to Kirkland was 4 lanes, as was the section between 112th and Sunset Blvd in the south end; the remainder was 2 lanes, undivided. [6 ]
The southern end was upgraded by 1965, and the north end was connected to I-5 in 1968. The section in between 160th St. and Kirkland was widened to six lanes around 1971. [10 ]
Severe congestion on Interstate 405 has triggered a dust-off of a 1960s proposal for an outer bypass called Route 605. The fate of this route is far from certain.

Even at Low Levels, Toxic Metals Put Heart at Serious Risk: Study
Last Updated: August 30, 2018.
THURSDAY, Aug. 30, 2018 (HealthDay News) -- Exposure to toxic metals such as arsenic, lead, copper and cadmium is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular and heart disease, researchers report.
Their analysis of 37 studies that included nearly 350,000 people linked arsenic exposure to a 23 percent increased risk of coronary heart disease and a 30 percent increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
Exposure to cadmium and copper was linked to an increased risk of both diseases.
Exposure to lead and cadmium was associated with an increased risk of stroke -- it was 63 percent higher for lead and 72 percent higher for cadmium, respectively.
The study findings were published Aug. 29 in the BMJ.
The findings "reinforce the [often under-recognized] importance of environmental toxic metals in enhancing global cardiovascular risk, beyond the roles of conventional behavioral risk factors, such as smoking, poor diet and inactivity," researcher Rajiv Chowdhury and his colleagues wrote.
Chowdhury is an associate professor of global health at the University of Cambridge in England.
The study also highlights the need "to reduce human exposures even in settings where there is a relatively lower average level of exposure [such as many Western countries]," the investigators said in a journal news release.
They said more research is needed to understand the link between toxic metals and heart disease.
Maria Tellez-Plaza and colleagues at the Carlos III Health Institute in Madrid, Spain, wrote an editorial in the same issue of the journal.
They said the study is "an important call for attention to an emerging group of risk factors with a high prevalence in populations around the world."
Since toxic metals are associated with heart disease even at fairly low levels of exposure, Tellez-Plaza and her group concluded that "population-wide strategies to minimize exposure will further contribute to overall cardiovascular prevention efforts."
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has more on heart disease risk factors.
