Reflecting on the Climate Change Grants, One Year Later
| Author:
Karisa Erickson, Student Marketing & Communications Associate
On Earth Day of 2020, the University of Minnesota Medical School awarded two $50,000 grants with the purpose of finding ways to reduce medical system material waste. Graduate and professional students in the Medical School and the College of Science and Engineering were challenged to create a solution that aimed to reduce healthcare's impact on the environment. The two selected groups have been working hard as their projects reach their one-year milestones.
One group's project, "Reducing the Carbon Footprint of Cardiovascular Disease by Diagnosing Subclinical Pathology Using Artificial Intelligence," has been led by Anthony Prisco, MD, PhD, a cardiology fellow from the Physician Scientist Training Program at the U of M Medical School. Dr. Prisco teamed up with two computational biology doctoral students, Alex Deakyne and Weston Upchurch.
"I applied for this grant as I saw it as an opportunity to combine two interests of mine – improving the world we live in by reducing carbon emissions while also reducing the burden cardiovascular disease has on human health," Dr. Prisco said.
Dr. Prisco shared that his team is a perfect combination of strengths. He was able to use his knowledge of computational fluid dynamics, and his teammates provided him support in designing custom artificial intelligence algorithms to non-invasively predict the onset of cardiovascular disease.
"The fundamental goal of this project is to provide a new diagnostic tool that will estimate a patient's risk of developing cardiovascular disease," Dr. Prisco said. "By using this technology, we hope to identify those as medium/high risk and initiate early treatment, disrupting and delaying the natural progression of cardiovascular disease. This will ultimately reduce the number of patients who require an invasive procedure and will, in turn, reduce the carbon footprint associated with cardiovascular disease."
Dr. Prisco and his team have requested a no-cost extension to continue their work for the next academic year. "Our preliminary results were accepted for presentation at the American College of Cardiology conference this summer, and we also have entered the 2021 Big Ten Augmented Intelligence Bowl," he said.
The other group's project, "Characterization and Prototyping of a Novel Biodegradable Intravenous Bag," has been led by Ranveer Vasdev, a third-year medical student at the Medical School. He's been working with Tyler Gathman, Aaron Rosenblum, Alora Sager, Jamee Schoephoerster, Conor Nath, Amrit Vasdev, Stephanie Liftland and Derek C. Batiste.
"I saw the grant as a unique opportunity to address a global environmental problem with roots in healthcare using an engineering approach," Vasdev said. "What spoke to me was the interdisciplinary and collaborative nature of the grant. There is so much that we as healthcare professionals can learn from other disciplines."
Vasdev shared that he was shocked when learning about the amount of single-use plastic that is wasted in routine surgical care every day. This is what inspired him to lead his team to find a comparable solution that reflected their goal of creating more sustainability in the field of medicine.
"With much help from Dr. Marc Hillmyer's team, we have identified candidate degradable polymers and are currently assessing their mechanical properties compared to standard-use IV bags," Vasdev said. "Additionally, our team published an op-ed at the start of the pandemic about considerations regarding environmental stewardship in healthcare during the COVID-19 outbreak. We have also conducted a retrospective review estimating the quality and quantity of hospital waste produced during the pandemic compared to historical controls. Our findings are currently being prepared for journal submission."
Vasdev hopes that their discoveries and methods can also be applied to other commonly used single-use medical products such as drapes, gowns and gloves.
Amidst a tumultuous year, these two groups have continued to reflect the call to research and innovative excellence towards climate change at the U of M Medical School. Vasdev and Dr. Prisco have led their teams to create lasting impacts on our planet.

The choice of material for the construction of a foundation is determined by the material type. Nevertheless, it is possible to identify the main construction materials used to build a reliable foundation for a countryside house.
Concrete is a material which is a hardened mixture of sand, water, a binder, and aggregates. Gravel, crushed stone, or sand are normally used as aggregates.
Hardened concrete is durable, waterproof, and frost resistant. It is quite simple to use — even a person with no construction background can lay concrete.
During the construction of monolithic foundations, concrete is poured into the trench in its original form. Preformed (normally, factory-preformed) concrete blocks are used for modular strip foundations or pier foundations. See how to choose the right concrete to build a foundation.
Sand is used not only as a concrete component but also for the purpose of building a sand mat for the foundation. A sand mat is prepared if loose soil cannot serve as a reliable foundation.
The upper soil layer is removed, and coarse or medium-grained sand (with a thickness of 50 cm to 60 cm) is placed there instead.
Wood can be used as a construction material for building a foundation (wooden supports for a pile foundation) or as an auxiliary element (concrete formwork).
Wood is a construction material that is cheap and easy to use. However, it should be noted that the durability of wood leaves much to be desired, as it is highly susceptible to rot.
A reinforcing structure woven into concrete will make your foundation strong and reliable. In order to reinforce a concrete structure, use flexible steel rods or grids.
Reinforcement steel should be strong and rather plastic at the same time. Its surfaces are usually ribbed to improve adhesion to concrete.

2 THE WEEKEND NEOS KOSMOS | SATURDAY 13 AUGUST 2016 NEWS Channel 7 silent amid Greek outrage The network has yet to respond to those demanding a retraction of infl ammatory comments proclaiming King Philip of Macedonia as 'FYROM's fi rst Olympian' DIGITAL.NEOSKOSMOS.COM A screenshot from Channel 7 Rio Olympics 2016 opening ceremony coverage. NIKOS FOTAKIS It's been a week since Greek Australians were shocked to hear Andrew Gaze and Bruce McAvaney proclaim King Philip II of Macedonia, as "FYROM's first Olympian". The outrageous claim was part of their commentary during the Rio Olympics opening ceremony broadcast. "There's a bit of history for you," McAvaney said, citing FYROM as the birthplace of Alexander the Great, while the country's delegation of athletes paraded in front of the screen. The incident sparked a furore as community leaders, along with the Greek Ambassador, issued statements and addressed letters to the network. "At best it's lazy journal- ism, at worst it's deceitful; I don't know where it sits in the spectrum, but it's appalling," says Bill Papastergiadis, president of the Greek Community of Melbourne. "At an event which highlights the important contribution of Greece to global unity and sport, it was disturbing that the Australian presenters were ignorant of basic history and the contributions of Greece to the event which they were in fact broadcasting. It was incumbent upon us to immediately write to Channel 7, seeking a retraction and an apology," he adds. Addressed to the executive chairman of Seven Network Limited, Kerry Stokes, the letter deemed the announcers as "as uneducated and insensitive sports jocks whose throwaway line about Alexander the Great as the team from the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) entered the stadium was simply wrong and politically inflammatory". In the letter, Bill Papastergiadis urges Mr Stokes to "educate your staff on nothing more than what is the internationally accepted name for the state known as FYROM and request that they do not rewrite history for cheap amusement or to fill in broadcast time. Finally, we request that an onair retraction be made and that this be made in earnest". The same demand was made NEOS KOSMOS Published since 1957 Published by Ethnic Publications Pty Ltd (ABN: 13005 255 087) of 169 Burwood Rd, Hawthorn, Victoria 3122.

By submitting your letter to us for publication you agree that we may edit the letter for legal, space or other reasons and may, after the publication in the paper, republish it on the internet or in other media. Editorial director: Nelly Skoufatoglou Journalists: Nikos Fotakis, Michael Sweet Christopher Gogos Sotiris Hatzimanolis Anastasia Tsirtsakis, Contributors: Dean Kalimniou, Alex Papasimakopoulou, Billy Cotsis, Gerard Papasimakopoulos, Melina Mallos, Chris Mackie, Andreas C. Chrysafis, George Stogiannou Proofreader: Graphic design: Peter Kelidis Angela Costanzo by the Pan-Macedonian Association of Melbourne and Victoria. In a letter addressed to all the network's officials, Peter Jasonides wrote: "The continued ignorance in the Australian media is validating a 'seamless fraud'. However, only two possible reasons could exist for Channel 7, Mr McAvaney and any other commentator making such claims. Firstly, an obvious notion of 'payment' may have occurred between the network and the FYROM community contributing towards their irredentist movement, or secondly, their complete ineptness of any historically accurate fact." A few days later, the two organisations return, along with the Australian Hellenic Council, issuing a joint statement to further express their 'displeasure' with Channel 7's report. "We are further appalled that the Messieurs McAvaney and Gaze, along with the channel 7 research staff, lack the fundamental knowledge of a subject they are reporting about. The Olympic Games in the old times were strictly a Greek affair; this is a fact not a mere opinion. Only Greek men were allowed to compete. History has recorded evidence that 17 ancient Macedonian Greeks had been victorious in ancient Olympiads. It is unknown to us how many others ancient Macedonian Greeks had competed, but did not win. The mere fact that Philip II of Macedon, father of Alexander the Great, had participated and won in the 106th, 107th, and 108th Olympiads recorded by Plutarch 3, 8; 4,9; Justin XII, 6.6, make the king of Macedon Greek," reads the statement. So far, the network has remained silent. The only response has come from Andrew Gaze himself. The veteran basketball athlete-turned sports commentator responded on Twitter, saying that "if it is incorrect or wasn't communicated correctly, I sincerely apologise" and sharing a photo of the script he was provided, in which the inflammatory remark is written. Instead of comfort, this further raised concern, given that the same remarks were made by Matt Lauer and Meredith Viera, who presented the ceremony for NBC in the United States, much to the outrage of Greek community leaders in the USA. The Hellenic American Lead- ership Association has started an online petition to the NBC: "It may seem like a casual mistake, but words matter — especially those said on the international stage in front of millions. FYROM's calculated campaign to lay claim to key cornerstones of Hellenic culture is well-known and condemned by scholars around the world. NBC shouldn't aid them in their campaign of misinformation," it states. The coincidence didn't go unnoticed in Australia. "It is extraordinary that the exact wording was verbalised by USA presenters at the same time, which means they too followed a 'script'," wrote Peter Jasonides, asking "who wrote this 'script'? Was the reading of it imposed on the presenters? Was it part of the successful winning of the television broadcasting rights?". It is not yet clear whether the two networks were alone in wording the inflammatory claims, as well as which was the source of this information. Both channels were granted access to the broadcasting rights by the Olympics Broadcasting Services (OBS), an agency of the International Olympic Committee, established in 2001 to be responsible for providing the images of the Olympic Games to the rights-holding broadcaster. Launched at the 2008 Olympic games in Beijing and based in Madrid, the OBS is led by Yiannis Exarchos, an experienced broadcast professional. In a statement addressed to Neos Kosmos, OBS official Maria Naxaki asserts that the broadcaster "does not provide any supporting information for commentators for the Opening Ceremony. I can confirm that what is provided to them is a media guide that is written and produced by the Ceremony Creative Team, who is contracted by the Rio 2016 Organising Committee. Additionally, any information delivered via the Commentator Information System (CIS) at the venue is provided by the Rio 2016 Organising Committee. (...) It is our understanding that the commentator has issued an apology via Twitter, and explained that the comment came from a script written by Seven Network themselves". In the meantime, adding insult to injury, members of the Macedonian community of Australia started a petition of their own, expressing their gratitude to Channel 7 "for the mention of Alexander the Great and his father Phillip of Macedon as being Macedonian. (...) Although they were under incorrect alphabetical order by being forced to go under the name of FYROM, the fact that Brazil, Canada and our Channel 7 commentators acknowledged Macedonia as a nationality is overwhelming and emotional for our community", states the petition that must have led Channel 7 officials to further confusion.

Openness in animal research
Use of Online Surveys Tool for Research
We are committed to being open and transparent about the research we conduct involving animals and have signed the Concordat on Openness on Animal Research in the UK promoted by the Understanding Animal Research organisation.
Much of our research at Glasgow involves studying lab-grown cells, human-derived tissues or computer models, but often useful knowledge can only be gained by understanding how a disease or drug functions in a living organism.
Animals are only used in research at Glasgow when there is no other suitable alternative available, and we are committed to the principles of the three Rs – replacement, refinement and reduction.
The welfare of our research animals is very important and we provide high-quality in-house veterinary care and housing facilities. Where necessary our animals receive anaesthesia and pain relief to minimise their discomfort and distress and they are humanely euthanised at the end of their lives.
All of our scientists who are engaged in animal research are properly trained and licensed and we work under the strict legislation and guidance issued by the Home Office.
We believe animals have made and continue to make a huge contribution to our understanding of human and animal health. Without their contribution many of the medicines and therapies we have at our disposal, and much of our knowledge, just wouldn't exist.
The animals we use
The University uses a variety of mammals, birds, fish and amphibians for research purposes and procedures.
All our animals are housed in proper facilities and are cared for by a team of veterinary surgeons, animal care staff and support staff who are all fully-qualified and trained. Our facilities are regularly inspected by the Home Office.
Approximate number of procedures involving animals under the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986, on Home Office project licences held under the University of Glasgow establishment licence in 2018:
125, 051*
*Includes Beatson Institute for Cancer Research
Arrive guidelines
The University of Glasgow has signed up to the 'Animal Research: Reporting In Vivo Experiments (ARRIVE) Guidelines'. This is a 20-point checklist for researchers designed to improve the reporting of animal research.
Find out more about the guidelines on the National Centre for the Replacement, Refinement & Reduction of Animals in Research website.
Q. Why do we need animal research? Aren't there other options like computer modelling and human-derived cells?
A. There are many different ways to study biology outside of a living organism – for example, cells in a Petri dish (in-vitro). However, to fully understand how a disease evolves or a drug works inside a living creature it is necessary to study these things in animals (in-vivo). We are committed to replacing, refining and reducing our use of animals by taking advantage of new research methods and technology and using stem cells derived from adult humans.
Animal research has greatly advanced medical knowledge and practice – both in humans and animals. Without these advances things like anaesthetic and antibiotics might not be in use today.
Q. Do you test cosmetics on any animal?
A. No. The University does not test cosmetics on animals.
Q. Does the University use primates for research?
A. No. The university does not use primates for research.
Q. How is the decision to use animals made/approved?
A. In bidding for funding and permission to undertake studies, researchers must demonstrate that they have considered all other non-animal research methods. All projects that require a Home Office licence have to be approved through the University's Animal Welfare and Ethics Review Board.
The University's ethical review process involves lay representation and external and internal members. It provides ethical advice on standards of animal care, welfare, and accommodation, and ensures that those working with animals are aware of their responsibilities and receive appropriate training. Veterinary and animal care staff are actively involved in the ethical review of research, welfare, and care of animals and provide ongoing advice and support to researchers where necessary.
Q. What kinds of procedures are carried out on animals?
A. Most of the animals at Glasgow are rodents – mice and rats. Some of these rodents may be genetically modified, for example, to make them more or less prone to developing a certain condition, like cardiovascular disease or arthritis. Common procedures include taking blood samples from living animals, and taking tissue samples from euthanised animals. One example of a severe procedure conducted at the University involves inflicting spinal cord injuries on mice as part of research into spinal cord injury in humans. These mice receive anaesthesia and pain relief.
Q. Do animals suffer pain during research?
A. Procedures carried out by the University are assessed for the level of pain likely to be inflicted, with a low score commensurate with blood-taking using a needle. Animals are given anaesthetics and analgesics (pain-relief) where necessary.
Q. What happens to animals after they are no longer required for research?
A. Under welfare guidelines each animal can only undergo a certain number of procedures. Once an animal is no longer required it is humanely euthanised.
Q. Where you get animals from?
A. The majority of our animals are either sourced from breeding establishments licensed by the Home Office or bred at our own facilities. Some studies are undertaken on animals in the wild.

Closing Notes
The zucchini, also known as the courgette, is a member of the Cucurbitaceae family, including squash, pumpkins, and gourds. The plant is originally from Central America and was domesticated by the Aztecs around 10,000 BC. The zucchini made its way to Europe in the 16th century, where it was initially used as a decorative plant. Until the late 19th century, zucchini began to be cultivated for its fruit.
Zucchini is a popular summer fruit in Europe and North America. It can be eaten raw, cooked, or turned into pickles. Zucchini is also a versatile ingredient in baked goods, such as cakes and muffins.
The zucchini plant is a vine that produces green or yellow fruits. Zucchini fruits are typically long and cylindrical, with smooth, dull skin. The plant flowers are yellow and have both male and female organs. Zucchini flowers are edible and are often used in salads or fried. The plant grows best in warm climates and is an annual plant, meaning it only lives for one growing season.
Zucchini is a low-calorie food and is a good source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, potassium, and manganese. It also contains dietary fiber and antioxidants. The zucchini plant is relatively easy to grow and often grows in home gardens.
Zucchini is a type of summer squash that is usually green in color. It's characterized by its elongated shape and slightly ridged skin. Zucchini is a versatile vegetable that can be eaten raw, cooked, or grilled. It can also be used in various recipes, including soups, salads, pasta dishes, and casseroles.
There are many reasons to love zucchini. First of all, it's a low-calorie food packed with nutrients. It's an excellent source of vitamins A and C and dietary fiber. Additionally, zucchini is low in sodium and cholesterol-free. This makes it a healthy addition to any diet.
There are many different types of zucchini, and each has its distinct flavor and texture. Here is a guide to some of the most popular varieties of this tasty summer squash:
Black beauty zucchini is a variety of summer squash characterized by its glossy, dark green skin. The fruit is elongated, with tapered ends, and typically measures between six and eight inches in length. Black beauty zucchini are generally considered disease-resistant and well-suited for growing in hot and humid climates.
When selecting a black beauty zucchini at the grocery store, look for firm and blemish-free fruits. The skin should be dull, not shiny, and the fruit should feel heavy for its size. Avoid any fruits that are soft or have brown spots, as these are signs of over-ripeness. Black beauty zucchini can be stored in the refrigerator for two weeks.
Caserta zucchini is a type of summer squash that was developed in the town of Caserta, Italy. The squash has a long, cylindrical shape and dark green skin. It's typically harvested when it's 10-12 inches (25-30cm) long. The flesh of the Caserta zucchini is firm and slightly sweet.
When cooked, it has a creamy texture. The squash can be used in various dishes, including slaws, salads, and pasta. Caserta zucchini is also sometimes used as a stuffing for ravioli and other types of pasta.
Cocozelle is an Italian heritage variety well-suited for home gardens and professional farms. The plant produces medium-sized fruits with dark green stripes and smooth, glossy skin. The flesh of Cocozelle is firm and slightly sweet, making it an excellent choice for cooking.
When cooked, this zucchini holds its shape well, making it ideal for dishes such as ratatouille and stir-fries. The plant is also relatively disease-resistant, making it a low-maintenance option for growers. While cocozelle zucchini is not widely available in stores, it can often be found at farmer's markets and specialty grocers.
Crookneck squash is a type of summer squash that gets its name from its curved shape. These yellow squash have a mild, slightly sweet flavor and can be eaten raw or cooked. When choosing a crookneck squash, look for one that is bright in color and has small bumps on the skin. Avoid squash that is dull in color or has large spots, as these are indications that the squash is overripe.
Crookneck squash can be stored in the fridge for up to a week. To prepare, wash the skin and then slice or dice as desired. Enjoy crookneck squash in salads, sautéed as a side dish, or added to soups or stews.
Dunja squash is a variety of winter squash native to the country of Serbia. The name "Dunja" comes from the Serbian word for quince, a type of fruit. Dunja squash is similar to a pumpkin, but it's much smaller. The flesh of the Dunja squash is orange in color and very sweet in taste.
It's often used in pies and other desserts. In addition to its culinary uses, dunja squash is also used as a natural remedy for chest and respiratory problems. The high content of Vitamin C in dunja squash makes it an effective treatment for colds and flu.
Gadzukes is a new hybrid zucchini that the University of Georgia developed. It's a cross between the green zucchini and the yellow summer squash. The fruits are about six inches (15cm) long, and they have a deep green color with light stripes. Gadzukes are a very versatile vegetable, and they can be used in many different recipes. It can be sautéed, roasted, grilled, or even eaten raw. Gadzukes are also a good source of vitamins A and C and dietary fiber.
The golden zucchini is a variety of summer squash with a distinctive golden color. Like other varieties of zucchini, it's relatively easy to grow. It can be used in a variety of ways in the kitchen. Golden zucchini can be roasted, grilled, sautéed, or even pickled. Golden zucchini can also be used in sweet dishes like cakes and muffins.
In addition to its unique color, golden zucchini has a slightly sweeter flavor than other zucchini varieties. This makes it a popular choice for both savory and sweet recipes. Whether you're looking for a colorful addition to your summer vegetable garden or a new way to add interest to your cooking, golden zucchini is a great option.

Pens waive Hopewell's Guenin
Chris Bradford @BCTBradford
CECIL TWP. � Following weeks of much speculation and deliberation, the Penguins have apparently found their seventh defenseman.
It�s not Hopewell Township�s Nate Guenin, nor is it Deryk Engelland
The two prospects, believed to be the finalists for the spot on the Stanley Cup champions� opening night blueline, were among five players waived Tuesday.
The roster battle became a moot point earlier in the afternoon when the Penguins announced the signing of veteran defenseman Martin Skoula.
Guenin and Engelland were among five players placed on waivers with the intention of assigning them to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League. Also headed across I-80 were forwards Ryan Bayda, Paul Bisonnette and Chris Conner.
Skoula, who spent last three seasons with the Minnesota Wild, was released earlier Tuesday by the Columbus Blue Jackets. The Czech native has scored 185 points over his nine-year NHL career, which included a Stanley Cup championship in 2001 while a member of the Colorado Avalanche.
Tuesday�s roster moves leave the Penguins with 21 players on the roster for Friday night�s opener against the New York Rangers at Mellon Arena.
All teams must submit their 23-man active rosters to the league office by 3 p.m. today.


We often discussed Moore's law discovered by Gordon Moore, former CEO of Intel. Moore's law States that the number of transistors inside integrated circuits doubles every two years. Modern high-performance chips such as Snapdragon 855 A12 Bionic and Apple, are made using a 7-nm process, which means that the size of transistors within a component is 7 billionths of a meter. This is obviously less than that of the chips of the previous generation, which used the technical process 10 nanometers. So it was even more obvious how far we have come, Nexus 5 2013 release has been equipped with Snapdragon processor 800, which used the 28-nm process technology.
You may ask why is it so important? Since the size of transistors decreases, more of them can fit in the tight space of the integrated circuit. A greater number of transistors used in the chip increases its power and improves the energy efficiency component. That is why it is important, according to the publication CNET, to Samsung announced that it managed to reduce the size of the transistor to 5 nm. 2000 of these transistors will correspond to the width of a human hair and the circuits that use these incredibly tiny transistors, can improve the performance by 10% and reduce energy consumption by 20%.
Samsung will start mass production using 5-nm manufacturing process in the second quarter of 2020. But now the company allows its customers to produce the test chips on the new technology. Samsung will also be a competitor in the person of TSMC, a Taiwanese company engaged in the research and production of semiconductor products. The latter began to create prototypes of 5-nm processors for their clients and reports that its new chips provide 15% performance increase compared to the previous generation, while the Samsung is only 10%. Although TSMC and is not going to talk in detail about how she managed to achieve such indicators, the company claims that the number of transistors that can fit on a certain surface area is increased by 80% thanks to its new technology compared to 25 percent for Samsung.
As Samsung and TSMC can now more accurately plan production of chips using EUV-lithography. This technology uses short beams of ultraviolet light to the etched circuits on silicon wafers. Samsung and IBM are also working on a technology called nano-sheets, which was initially supposed to be used in the production of 5-nm chips. This, as it turned out, did not happen, but with this technology we can safely expect an increase in CPU performance by 50% and reducing energy consumption by 75%.

Is 'This Is Us' On Tonight? The Pearsons Are Taking Nov. 6 Off For A Good Reason
By Kelly Schremph
Ron Batzdorff/NBC
It's impossible to not fall in love with a show like This Is Us, which means fans from all over gather around the TV every Tuesday night to find out what new way the Pearson family will inevitably make us cry. So when a new episode doesn't air, you better believe viewers are going to take notice, which is why you may find yourself asking if This Is Us is on tonight, on the night of Tuesday, Nov. 6. As it turns out, it's not, and our favorite fictional family is going on a very brief hiatus, but don't worry — it's for a very good reason.
As most of you undoubtedly know by now, Nov. 6 marks the midterm elections, which has caused many TV shows to help spread the word and promote the importance of getting out there to vote. That also means that the majority of the primetime networks will cover the big event as the results begin to unfold. NBC is no exception and will air a new special, titled The Vote: America's Future, that will be broadcast live from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. ET. Given that This Is Us usually airs at 9 p.m. ET, there's simply no room in the schedule to allow a new episode to air. But given that this delay is due to such an important moment in our country's history, the Pearsons are sure to understand the temporary postponement. They're all pretty great like that.
At the end of last week's episode, the voiceover for the series warned that This Is Us wouldn't be airing a new episode this week. But just in case you were too engrossed in Toby's backstory to pay attention (or were blowing your nose a little too loudly into a tissue — been there!), the official This Is Us Twitter account posted a reminder to fans that the series would be taking a break this Tuesday night. "There's no new #ThisIsUs this week," the tweet read. "But we're here still trying to get over last week's."
However, if you're still looking to get your This Is Us fill for the week, all of the previously aired episodes are currently available to watch on Hulu for those who have an account. That means you can watch as many (or as few) episodes of the series as you would like, as well as revisit some of your favorite moments — and given how lovable this family is prone to be, there's guaranteed to be quite a few.
And then, as fast as the hiatus arrived, it will be over with just as quickly. NBC will return to its regularly scheduled programming the following week, so a brand new episode of This Is Us will debut on Tuesday, Nov. 13. From there, fans will be able to dive deeper into Jack's mysterious past (perhaps even find out more about the woman wearing Jack's necklace in Vietnam) and hopefully learn a few more details about those puzzling flash-forward scenes.
Answers to those questions and many more are sure to be on the horizon, but we'll just have to wait at least a week to get them. Knowing this show, though, it'll be well worth it.


The ketogenic diet is one of the best diets on the planet for fighting disease and losing weight (1).
Although the word "diet" can seem intimidating to some, you should think of the keto diet as more of a lifestyle change, a way of eating that includes meal plans you can enjoy for the rest of your life.
The keto diet was designed to mimic the health benefits of intermittent fasting by limiting the glucose available to your body. It works by putting you into a state of ketosis: instead of using glucose from carbohydrates as energy, your body uses fat. This means that it becomes easier to burn your body fat, together with the fat that you're ingesting. Limiting the available glucose also stabilizes blood sugar levels and reduces the risk of many diseases.
Below you will find a list of what you can and cannot eat on a keto diet. We will also provide the average nutritional information of each food and explain everything in details.
The list is our recommendation of the most keto-friendly foods for optimal results, based on science. We have taken into account the health benefits of the different foods and their macro- and micronutrient profiles, as well as scientific evidence, in order to present you with a comprehensive and easy-to-use list of foods.
Of course, everyone is different and you might find out that you respond better or worse to some of them. The best way to find out your ideal foods is to experiment.
Additionally, the quality of the foods you choose to eat, combined with a good understanding how your body responds to different types of food, will make a huge difference.
Ketogenic way of eating isn't a one size fits all diet. It's best to personalize your diet to fit your individual circumstance and health condition (E.g. insulin resistance, lactose intolerance, allergies, etc...) to meet your needs and achieve your goals.
The foods listed here work well for many people. If you follow a very strict keto diet, make sure to personalize this food list to make it work best for you.

A big part of your calories on the keto diet will come from fats.
These can be the natural fats present in different foods, for example in meats, avocado, eggs, nuts, as well as fats extracted from different sources, such as coconut oil, olive oil, avocado oil, butter, ghee, lard, and so on.
Contrary to popular belief, sugar (and not fat) is often the driving force behind weight gain and disease.
There's a catch, though: not all fats are created equal.
Saturated fats: these include coconut oil, lard, ghee, and butter. A part of your fat calories on the keto diet will come from saturated fat.
Monounsaturated fats (also known as MUFAs): also known as "good" fats, because they can have a positive effect on your heart health and cholesterol levels. Oils that are high in MUFAs are, for example, olive oil and avocado oil, and can be consumed on a keto diet.
Polyunsaturated fats (also known as PUFAs): these fats can also be beneficial for your health when eaten in moderation, depending on the source. Naturally occurring polyunsaturated fats, such as those found in animal fats and fish, are much better than processed oils, such as corn oil, rapeseed oil, soy oil and margarine. This is mostly related to the ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6 fatty acids that you can find in most processed oils that have a high PUFAs content.
Trans fats: these fats are best avoided completely, as they have a negative impact on cholesterol and heart health. Trans fats are chemically altered to improve the shelf life of products that contain them. A good rule of thumb is to avoid any product that contains the word "hydrogenated" in its ingredients list.
Keep in mind that fats are very calorie-dense, so even if you're eating "good" fats, you can gain weight simply by consuming too many calories.
Fat is very satiating and the ketogenic diet makes you feel less hungry overall, so you'll probably be naturally eating less than before. However, it's still a very good idea to track macros (and therefore also calories), especially if your goal is fat loss.
Fat consumption should depend on your goals and current body composition. If you have a lot of fat to lose, let your body burn it off by controlling the amount of fat that you're consuming. If you'd like to maintain your weight, you can use fat to increase your calorie consumption to maintenance levels.
Remember: fat is a lever.
Besides these common sources of fat, you can also use MCT Oil and Powder as a healthy source of fat in your diet.
MCTs stand for medium-chain triglycerides, which is a form of saturated fatty acid that has many amazing health benefits. MCT is a special type of fat that can trigger and help you get into ketosis fast.
* If your goal is weight loss, you might find it beneficial to limit dairy and nuts for a while, and to always properly measure and track them, if you have them in your diet.
The oils you're buying should be virgin and cold-pressed whenever possible, meaning they have not been heated to high temperatures and stripped of their nutrients. When choosing nut butter, make sure they don't include added sugars.
It's a good idea to buy organic, grass-fed and antibiotic-free meat, and wild fish, whenever possible, however, we know that the price can be prohibitive at times, so ultimately, buy what your budget allows for.
When it comes to choosing full fat coconut milk, make sure it's gluten-free and contains no preservatives. This product usually comes in a can and ideally, you only want to have coconut extract and water as the ingredients. Some brands might add guar gum to thicken the liquid. Some people refer it as coconut cream. Depending on the brands and the ratio between the liquid expressed from grated coconut meat and water, the fat content might vary anywhere from 15g-22g of fat per 100g serving.
Save this fats list to your Pinterest board for later use!
Protein, together with fat, is essential when following a keto diet.
Many fat sources are also high in protein (such as fatty meats and nuts), so these two often go hand-in-hand.
It's best to choose organic meat, fish and eggs whenever possible, as their quality and nutritional profile are often better, together with taste, however, if you don't have the money for it, just choose the best quality that fits your budget.
While dairy can be consumed on a keto diet, you should keep in mind that some products (such as milk and yoghurt) can be quite high in carbs, while others, such as cheese and heavy cream, are quite caloric. Additionally, some people are sensitive to dairy, so if you have hit a weight loss plateau, you might want to limit dairy for 2-3 weeks and see if that helps.
Beef: steak, brisket, ground beef, roasts, veal, and stews.
Pork: tenderloin, pork loin, pork chops, ground pork, and pork belly.
Poultry: chicken (breast, thighs, wings, drumsticks, ground meat, etc...), quail, duck and other wild game.
Organ meat: heart, tongue, kidney, liver and offal.
Other meat: veal, goat, lamb, turkey and other wild game.
Whole eggs: can be poached, fried, deviled, scrambled, omelette and hard boiled.
Fish: salmon, barramundi, snapper, tuna, catfish, cod, mackerel, flounder, trout, whiting and perch.
Shellfish: clams, lobster, crawfish, oysters, crab, prawns, shrimp, mussels, scallops, calamari and squid.
Processed meat: bacon, ham, sausage, and salami. Check labels to make sure there are no nasty extra fillers or added sugar.
As your fat intake will depend on your daily macros and goals, you might sometimes want to choose fatty cuts of meat over leaner ones, or the other way around. Seafood is also a great option for lean protein.
You should prioritize whole, unprocessed foods. Deli meats, salami, sausages and other similar products can be very convenient at times, especially if you are travelling, but will feel less satisfying, and sometimes contain additives that you might wish to avoid. Use them in moderation and always check the label.
Whenever you're at a restaurant or at a dinner party, you should watch out for hidden sugars in sauces and marinades. If you're unsure of the contents of a given sauce, it's best to not eat it (you can always ask to have it on the side).
Protein powders including collagen peptides can be a very convenient way to reach your protein macro for the day but will not keep you full in the same way as whole foods. Remember to always check the specific macros per serving, as some protein powders can be quite high in carbs. If you want to be sure, read our reviews here.
The best vegetables to eat on a keto diet are the ones that are low in carbohydrates and calories.
These include green, leafy vegetables such as spinach, as well as cruciferous vegetables such as kale, broccoli, and cauliflower.
Avoid consuming starchy vegetables, such as potatoes.
When it comes to choosing vegetables, opt for ones that are organic as they are higher in some nutrients than conventional.
Frozen and canned vegetables are fine as long as they contain no added sugars.
Choose your vegetables based on carbohydrate count and make sure your portions are small.
Generally, a well-formulated keto plan will give you enough fiber. If you concern about not getting enough fiber, you can try these fiber supplements.
Below you can find a list of low-carb vegetables that are excellent choices when doing keto.
Save this vegetables list to your Pinterest board for later use!
Although fruits have a number of health benefits, it also contains large amounts of sugar and, sometimes, a lot of calories, too.
It is therefore, best to limit fruit as much as possible on a keto diet.
Avocado is the only exception. Besides the high amount of healthy fat, avocado has many health benefits and contains few net carbs.
If you miss fruit too much, you can still enjoy some in moderation, especially berries.
Make sure that you're choosing options that are lower in carbohydrates and contain a high amount of antioxidants, such as blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries. You also need to keep an eye on servings' size, as carbs in fruit can quickly add up.
Fruit juices are off-limits on a keto diet as they are usually highly processed and contain refined sugar. If you are going to eat fruit, it's better to eat the whole fruit to get the fiber that comes along with it to fill you up, stabilize blood sugar levels and aid in digestion.
Avoid fruits that are high in carbohydrates such as bananas, apples, and pears. Dried fruit should also be avoided as it usually contains preservatives to extend its shelf life, and too much sugar.
*Most fruits outside of berries are not keto-friendly because of the high sugar content. Fruit juice, dried fruits & canned fruits usually have added sugar which are NOT keto friendly.

One of the definite advantages of the keto diet is that most people feel less hungry, which means it is easier to follow it than other diets. That's why you might not feel the need to snack at all, and you should be able to limit it without too much trouble.
Mindless snacking is definitely something you would want to avoid, but if you feel genuinely hungry and if having a snack will help you stick to your daily macros, there is no reason not to have a few nuts, for example. Remember to always measure and track snacks.
Before having a snack, try having some tea or water (with or without lemon, and with or without salt) to make sure you're not just dehydrated instead of hungry.
If you must snack, stick to foods that will keep you full for longer periods of time and that will curb feelings of hunger. Also be sure to keep your portions as small as possible.
Condiments are a great place for hidden sugars to lurk, so be careful of any condiment that you didn't prepare yourself.
Spices can be used to enhance the meat's taste, but keep in mind that they have carbohydrates in them, so you'll need to add this to your count for the day. If you're using spice blends, look for the ones with no added sugar.
Mustard is a good option, given that you find a good one that includes just mustard seeds, sea salt, and vinegar.
Coconut milk (full fat) and coconut cream can be use in many recipes, especially as a thickening sauce in meat dishes such as curry, creamy soups, or in dessert recipes. It's a good replacement for heavy cream if you want a dairy-free option. Coconut milk (light version, less fat) is a good choice for soups and drinks such as milkshakes and smoothies. Make sure there's no added sugar in the products you choose.
When it comes to vinegar, the very low carb choices are white vinegar, cider vinegar and wine vinegar (less than 0.1g carb per tablespoon). Balsamic vinegar has a much higher carb content (2.7 g carb per tbsp) so you really need to be careful with the amount you use. It's best to stick to lower carb vinegar options.
It can be tricky to know what to drink on the keto diet. If you're ever unsure, water is always your best bet.
If you want to step up your game, try lemon water. Lemon water alkalizes the acids that are found in most keto foods to keep your blood pH levels neutral.
Unsweetened almond milk teas, and coffee are perfectly acceptable on the keto diet.
Other unsweetened nut milk can also be good options, but make sure to always check the label for the exact macros, as they can differ a lot.
Some evidence suggests that too much caffeine may have contradictory effects on blood sugar levels, so be sure not to drink more than one or two cups a day.
When you consume alcohol, your body will burn the alcohol first, then carbs, and finally fat. So, it's best to avoid it.
If you're attending a social occasion where alcohol will be served, opt for a dry glass of red wine and limit your intake to one or two.
For more information on keto and alcohol, as well as a detailed macro guide for the different types of alcohol, check out our article, The Ultimate Alcohol Guide on Low Carb Ketogenic Diet.
The idea behind a keto diet is to keep your net carbohydrates below 20 to 25 grams daily.
Indulging in fruits and vegetables that are a bit higher in carbohydrates is possible, however, bear in mind that you'll have to fit them in your daily macros and adjust your remaining carbs for the day.
To keep it simple, just remember that the sweeter the vegetables are, the more sugar content they have.
Root vegetables (such as turnip, ginger, parsnip, turmeric, etc...), bulb vegetables (such as garlic, shallot, onion, scallions and leek) and most vegetables that grow underground such as carrots usually have a higher carbohydrate content so you need to be very careful with the amount you eat.
While most beans and peas are not recommended on keto, green beans are fine in moderation.
Other types of squash you consume except zucchini have much higher carb counts so you need to be careful.
Baking a gluten-free dessert with flaxseed meal, almond flour, coconut flour and raw cacao powder is occasionally allowed, but you should keep an eye on calories.
The low-carb substitute for breadcrumbs can be almond meal/flour, coconut flour, flaxseed flour, Parmesan cheese and ground pork rind (pork dust).
Despite being generally keto-friendly, nuts are very calorically dense and some nuts are also high in carbohydrates. This means that you'll need to track and monitor your serving sizes carefully.
Peanut is technically a legume that grows underground, as opposed to tree nuts such as macadamia and almond. There is a debate whether peanut and peanut butter should be on keto or not. It's your personal choice. A small serving size might be okay for many people but avoid overindulging because they are tasty and nutritionally dense.
As far as dairy is concerned, keep in mind that milk and most store-bought yogurts are not optimal. Additionally, dairy products can be hard to digest for some people. Replace regular yogurt with Greek yogurt. In place of traditional fermented Kefir, you can try coconut kefir for gut health and regularity.
Half-n-half or light cream might be acceptable when using in moderation or when you eat out and have no other choices. However, you should always try to choose heavy cream instead. You can dilute heavy cream in water if you need different texture or consistency for your recipe.
When it comes to pre-shredded cheese, it's best to buy a big block of cheese and shred it yourself. The problem with pre-shredded cheese is that some brands might put flour or cornstarch inside to keep the cheese from sticking together.
Cheese in general such as mozzarella cheese or cream cheese still have carbs so when consuming it, make sure to check the portion size because the carbs can add up very quickly.
Deli meats might be low in carbohydrates, but they are not optional, due to the many additives. You can eat them occasionally, for example when you're in a hurry or when travelling, but do not include them in the foods that you are consuming daily.
All grains and gluten-containing foods should be avoided on a keto diet. Be mindful that gluten lurks in many foods, so always read food labels to be sure. Beans, corn, rice, legumes and other starchy foods also need to be completely avoided. Many gluten-free kinds of pasta still contain corn or rice, so avoid them altogether. In place of regular pasta, try zucchini or squash noodles.
It's also a good idea to completely avoid soy products. Some people might still use soy sauce. However, coconut aminos are a good alternative to soy sauce for keto.
Regarding sauces, many of them contain added carbohydrates and hidden sugar, so be careful when using them in a recipe. You can make your own homemade sauces such as mayonnaise and ketchup.
As a general rule, you should avoid sauces at restaurants as they are often full of sugar, gluten or soy. You can always ask the waiter for information on the sauce's contents and also order it on the side, in order to control serving sizes.
Most fruits such as banana, apple, papaya, dragon fruit, durian, water melon, orange, pineapple, grapes, mango, tangerine, mandarin, grapefruit, cherry, etc... because they are high in carbs and sugar content.
Fruit juices, fruit smoothies, dried fruits, and fruit syrups.
Beans and legumes such as chickpeas, black-eyed peas, green peas, kidney beans, mung beans, black beans, pinto beans, white beans, navy beans, great northern beans, fava beans, cannellini beans, lima beans, and lentils.
Starchy vegetables such as corn, potato, yam, sweet potato, cassava, parsnip, yucca.
Grains such as wheat, bulgur, barley, amaranth, rye, oats, tapioca, millet, rice, quinoa, sorghum, sprouted grains, buckwheat.
Starchy foods such as flour, pasta, noodles, bread, crackers, cookies and pizza crusts that are made from any of the grains or starchy veggies above.
Hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated oils and processed vegetable oils such as cottonseed oil, corn oil, peanut oil, sunflower oil, safflower oil, grape seed oil, rapeseed oil, rice bran oil, soybean oil, and canola oils due to their high Omega-6 content.
As far as artificial sweeteners are concerned, these can be used occasionally, but you should know that some of them will raise insulin levels and are sub-optimal for that reason. They might also cause weight loss stall for some people.
The keto diet is full of naturally healthy and satiating foods, which means you shouldn't feel the urge to snack or eat above your caloric requirements. In order to optimize weight loss, you will need to track macros and to be in a caloric deficit. There are plenty of apps and websites that allow you to do this. In order to stay in ketosis, you need to to stay at or below 20-25 net carbs per day, which still allows you to eat plenty of green vegetables (which are essential for their micronutrients).
Stay away from processed food as much as possible and eat whole food that you prepare yourself, so that you can track its macros. Keep things simple and stick to the basics: meat, veggies and salads, avocados, eggs, and some nuts from time to time. If you need ideas on what to eat, we have plenty of recipes for excellent keto meals, so make sure to check out our Recipes section.
*Disclaimer: We try to provide the most accurate nutrition facts of all the foods presented on this page. However, the actual nutritional information of each food might vary based on the ingredients it's made of, the brands and other factors. Make sure you read the food labels, check the nutritional information and track your macros for the best results when following keto diet.

Richard To Be Taking on the "Beast" in The French Alps!
On Saturday 22nd August, our very own Richard Johnson will be cycling up one of the most impressive climbs in all of the French Alps: the Col du Galibier.
Col du Galibier, known for being part of the Tour de France for over a century is usually the highest point in the famous French bike race. It is the ninth highest paved road in the Alps and the sixth highest mountain pass.
Commencing at Saint-Michel-de-Maurienne, the climb is 34.8 kilometres (21.6 miles) long, gaining an impressive 2,120 metres (6,960 ft) in height. This is incredibly challenging for all parts of the body and mind but we know Richard will be more than up to the task!
The average gradient is 6.9% but it gets incredibly steep around 4-5km away from the summit, reaching a remarkable 10.1%. The last 2km are said to be brutal but the sense of magnitude at the end is known for being incredible and beyond any other bike climb.
The Col du Galibier climb is extremely long and should take about 4 hours for Richard to complete. At 2,646 metres above sea level, it's ranked by the tour de France within the 'hors' (beyond) category, which translates in English as 'beast'.
Hopefully the weather will be kind and Richard will be taking plenty of photographs to share with you all - we'll keep you posted!
We are all very impressed he will be going on this incredible journey and we wish him the best of luck on his adventure.
"I am pleased to let you know that copies of the above book which you printed and sent to Freetown via DHL have been received by the author and he commented on the exceptional quality of your printing work. Thank you."

Naturally, with only remarkable ability to utilize their mouths, Davis also observed mortals have been pitiful creatures because they may be easily erased by using a single wave of them cultivator's palms.

"All right~"
Nevertheless, investigating Elder Karlheinz Strom, he thought that they possessed appeared due to Great Elder Claus Strom.
'What…? It didn't escalate towards a beat once more…?'
"Ahh~!"
He stood up, heading to the front door all over again. Strangely, there seemed to be no appear as though Best Disciple Azzuren Rein seemed to be looking forward to s.h.i.+rley to truly occur.
He couldn't assistance but have fun, sensing wicked.
Without a doubt, it wasn't a restraining sequence but a destroy get. As long as they weren't invited by s.h.i.+rley or let in with the Sect Become an expert in, these folks were to always be destroyed. It absolutely was such a throat-slitting tactic which was rarely put into practice inside a sect because is important could be undertaken via the Disciplinary Hall to become given a verdict, but this remove buy was anything from the Sect Learn herself, overturning any authoritative physiques that may be show in this article.
Davis's voice echoed, resulting in Esvele's deal with to blush imperceptibly.
s.h.i.+rley continuing, "On the other hand, there is one family members that moves at night and will not control any places or areas, almost like a.s.sa.s.sins. They're the Burnwinds, an incredibly tiny band of all around a thousand or possibly even longer individuals, but they also comprise of merely feys like individuals who have converted into feys by fusing more using up phoenix arizona blood vessels."
Davis just smiled, not providing a solution.
"All relationship proposals are prohibited. s.h.i.+rley is growing, and she doesn't want any disorder to her mind-set. I'll just say a word, keep…"
Nonetheless, investigating Elder Karlheinz Strom, he guessed that he or she got emerged as a consequence of Great Elder Claus Strom.
Surprisingly Elder Karlheinz Strom had also been on this page. He was the one and only a person Davis initially achieved as he accessed the Using up Phoenix, arizona Ridge Territory.
Surprisingly Elder Karlheinz Strom had also been on this page. He was none other than whomever Davis first attained when he accessed the Eliminating Phoenix, az Ridge Territory.

s.h.i.+rley carried on, "On the other hand, there may be one loved ones that movements at night and fails to regulate any metropolitan areas or destinations, much like a.s.sa.s.sins. They're the Burnwinds, quite a little gang of approximately thousands of or so folks, however they consist of outright feys like people who have converted into feys by fusing additional burning phoenix blood vessels."
"I do know…" Davis's phrase had been a tad cool, "I will just tell them once basically if i think that it, just in case they don't heed it, it will become their problem for hampering me because I probably wouldn't get the high-class to care about spending lifestyles."
To handle the opposing Senior citizens, it was ideal to handle Seniors of their. In this manner, the Fantastic Seniors may very well be kept from insults. In any other case, there were an opportunity they can might go berserk and get rid of from being unable to restrain.
Morning hours, both s.h.i.+rley and Esvele got come out of seclusion, owning stabilized their foundations to the healthy and balanced amount. He ended up being stimulating with them in conversation while he was bored when that aggravating sound echoed out.
Certainly, it wasn't a restraining buy but a destroy purchase. Once they weren't invited by s.h.i.+rley or enable in with the Sect Become an expert in, these were being killed. It was a real throat-slitting solution that was rarely implemented in a very sect because matters can be taken through the Disciplinary Hall to become given a verdict, but this get rid of sequence was a thing completely from the Sect Excel at herself, overturning any authoritative body systems which may be offer in this article.
If s.h.i.+rley simply had to deny these proposals themselves every time, then he possessed no need to contact himself her person, of course, unless he was missing.
Davis started to be confused, taking a look at Leading Disciple Azzuren Rein causing once again. Even though they're civilized for a sect, their aggressive center could never be curbed.
Indeed, it wasn't a restraining purchase but a remove obtain. If they weren't asked by s.h.i.+rley or just let in with the Sect Master, they were being killed. It was subsequently this kind of neck-slitting technique that was rarely implemented inside a sect because is important would be applied through the Disciplinary Hallway to generally be given a verdict, but this kill obtain was a thing completely from the Sect Excel at themselves, overturning any authoritative bodies that could be offer listed here.
He sent back towards the primary hall, sitting in addition to Freya, who poked his experience together with her delicate-searching finger that had been actually sufficiently strong enough to rip a hole on his face inside out.
'What…? It didn't escalate in a battle all over again…?'

"Master, don't be irritated…"
'Is it finally time…?'

Obviously, with only their ability to use their mouths, Davis also believed mortals have been pitiful beings because they may be easily erased which has a solo influx of those cultivator's hands.
"You're not gonna try to escape this point…?"
He couldn't guide but chuckle, feeling wicked.
Ultimately, Top notch Disciple Azzuren Rein were overly insulted that his slightly wide deal with shattered. A fight pretty much begun to bust out, but Top rated Disciple Azzuren Rein seemingly suppressed his frustration, switching all around and departing.
"s.h.i.+rley, appear!"
"Okay~"
"Thanks a lot~"
To deal with the opposite Senior citizens, it was actually right to cope with Senior citizens of their. By doing this, the Fantastic Seniors could be stored from insults. Or else, there is a possibility which they might go berserk and eliminate from being unable to hold back.
'She will make a wonderful guard for s.h.i.+rley along with her personality, but it's a pity that she's not highly effective…'
It was a strange view if an individual viewed together with the contemporary perception.
Certainly, it wasn't a restraining order but a kill obtain. Should they weren't welcomed by s.h.i.+rley or permit in via the Sect Learn, they were to generally be killed. It was actually this type of tonsils-slitting solution which has been rarely put into practice within a sect because is important could well be consumed by the Disciplinary Hall to become supplied a verdict, but this wipe out buy was a thing from the Sect Become an expert in themselves, overturning any authoritative body systems which may be show on this page.
Early morning, either s.h.i.+rley and Esvele acquired emerge from seclusion, possessing stabilized their foundations to your healthier level. He was participating with these in chitchat as he was bored when that irritating speech echoed out.

            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:background="@android:color/transparent"
            app:elevation="0dp">
            <androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar
                android:id="@+id/toolbar"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
                app:contentInsetLeft="0dp"
                app:contentInsetStart="0dp"
                app:titleMarginStart="30dp" />
        </com.google.android.material.appbar.AppBarLayout>
    </androidx.coordinatorlayout.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

menu.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">
    <item
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_action_add"
        android:title="A D D"
        app:showAsAction="always" />
</menu>

A: You have to use a container inside the toolbar. That way you can manage it however you want.
Update: Can you try replacing from style file?
<style name="StyleSampleName" parent="@android:style/Widget.ActionButton">
    <item name="android:drawablePadding">@dimen/style_sample_padding</item>
</style>

Dimen:
<dimen name="style_sample_padding">5dp</dimen>

Theme:
<style name="Theme.YourUseTheme"
       parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">

    <item name="android:actionButtonStyle">@style/StyleSampleName</item>
</style>

A: You can add a padding to end of your toolbar, and use it as your supportActionBar
Step 1: Remove the ActionBar from styles.xml, use Theme.AppCompat.DayNight.NoActionBar as a theme for instance
<resources>
    <!-- Base application theme. -->
    <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.DayNight.NoActionBar">
     ....
    </style>
</resources>

Step 2: Add padding to thend of the toolbar in your layout; I added 32dp, you can customized it as you need
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.coordinatorlayout.widget.CoordinatorLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:id="@+id/coordinator"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent">

    <com.google.android.material.appbar.AppBarLayout
        android:id="@+id/appbar"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:elevation="0dp">

        <androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar
            android:id="@+id/toolbar"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
            android:paddingEnd="32dp"
            android:paddingRight="32dp"
            app:contentInsetLeft="0dp"
            app:contentInsetStart="0dp"
            app:titleMarginStart="30dp" />
    </com.google.android.material.appbar.AppBarLayout>
</androidx.coordinatorlayout.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

Step 3: Set the toolbar as the SupportActionBar
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        // setting the SupportActionBar to my customized toolbar
        setSupportActionBar((findViewById(R.id.toolbar)));

    }

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu, menu);
        return true;
    }
}

A few weeks ago, Councillors Lisa Muri's voice was quelched by rules around procedures. She persisted and finally had her, if not the last word, on the role local government is supposed to play when people come knocking on its doors with fear and anxiety about displacement and loss of community.
"He was ruling my motion out of order. I wanted it to be part of the record for the public hearing, and he and the clerk ruled that a follow up motion was out of order and I disagreed. I was just asking for information and I think the Mayor could have heard it, but I guess he didn't want to hear it," she later told the Global Canadian.
Muri said there was an opportunity for Mosaic, who is rebuilding Emery Place, and another developer, Darwin properties to work together to create modular housing on land owned by the latter. Muri said she asked Mosaic if they would be interested in partnering with Darwin to build modular housing and they agreed. She said Darwin, too, seemed supportive of the possibility of this partnership.
But when she met Mosaic later, they told there wasn't a lot of interest from Emery Place residents in the project. The inability of that partnership to move ahead is what got Muri to bring forward a proposal to discuss building modular housing on district-owned land by tax payers' money.
"The residents will suffer as they will have to find accommodation off the North Shore. The district owned land on Dollartan is flat, is serviced, and has electricity and sewage provision. I'd like the district to fund it with help from BC Housing. Vancouver does it once a month and the modular homes don't need to be permanent because you could remove them or get rid of them after some time. But it would allow people to stay in the North Shore," she said.
Her proposal, however was rejected 4-3 at the council chamber, with Mayor Richard Walton, Councillors Robin Hicks, Matthew Bond, and Roger Bassam opposed. Councillor Bond said district has a progressive rental assistance policy and was investing $12 million in affordable housing. Hinting at Emery Place, he said most renters gets two months' notice, not six months' notice, and that most renters receive only one month's compensation and no compensation for moving.
Bassam said Muri had opposed several motions in the past that could have results in more rentals and said the district can't afford to spend millions of dollars on modular housing. Councillor Hicks said the market dictates life in a capitalistic society, and redevelopment will inevitably cause some displacement, but the district has invested in initiatives such as Delbrook and is committed to an OCP-sanctioned plan for Maplewood.
He said the pace of development in North Shore is slower than most other Lower Mainland communities and there is less traffic in the area compared to other cities. "I was in Port Coquitlam and Pitt Meadows, and the development and traffic situation is far less here than in those jurisdictions," he said. While rejecting Muri's motion, the council decided to discuss modular housing in an upcoming workshop.
Affordable housing on the North Shore is non existent, I have a great deal where I am now, but the house is getting torn down in December. I will have to leave the city I have lived in my entire life, can't afford to stay here. Modular homes would be a great option for me, but it seems the majority on council don't agree. I will wind up adding to the traffic jams and gridlock. This was a great idea and was stymied by arrogance and ignorance. The people that work here should be able to live here.
In 2018 'affordable' tends to mean older. Which is totally ok if the place is properly maintained. My house was built in 1972 and is going strong. It is not difficult with consistent maintenance and the odd improvement here and there.
The real enemy is the Canada Revenue Agency's depreciation schedule which encourages developers to falsely claim a 40 year old building is "worth nothing" because for CRA it's fully depreciated.
There are lots of homes both single and multi that are older than that but until we explode the myth that "40 years = teardown" you will see developers systematically neglect maintenance and persuade Councils that these buildings are worthless. It's been happening again and again for 10+ years at Council and somehow our politicians continue to be hoodwinked.
At Emery, 15 months before Mosaic's acquisition the inspection report said it was in good condition. After Mosaic's purchase it was said to be 'at the end of its economic life'. And Emery is only one of many.

Drinking Victoria: Brooke Hayman
Photo: Whisky & Alement co-owner Brooke Hayman
Your guide to what's in the glass from the people in the trade.
Brooke Hayman is co-owner, along with her partner Julian White, of Melbourne's Whisky & Alement, which celebrated its tenth year of service this year. The bar has gained a reputation for profiling distillers big and small across its 1,000-bottle range, and has educated Melbourne drinkers in the finer points of whisky through classes, conversations at the bar and the Melbourne Whisky Room, a place to try some of the world's most collectible whiskies. Despite having to shelve plans for a calendar of birthday celebrations throughout the year, Hayman and White quickly moved to set up a whisky dram delivery service and virtual tastings during lockdown, ensuring whisky-lovers could continue to experience Whisky & Alement. Hayman has been a judge at the Tasting Australia Spirits Awards and the inaugural Royal Agricultural Society of South Australia Spirits Awards. In 2018, she was crowned the Australian Malt Whisky Tasting Champion, after blind-tasting her way through eight whiskies. In more normal times, she and White travel the world looking for the next great bottle to pour at the bar.
The last three delicious things I drank were a bottle of 2017 Domaine de Saint Pierre "Trois Terroirs" Arbois, purchased from Punchin' Bottles. I love sherry, so the minerality in this Jura white is right up my alley! A little Sanbitter made for the perfect non-alcoholic afternoon in the sun and, at the other end of the spectrum, the 72.89 Pirate's Breakfast Juice is one of the most fun whiskies I've had the pleasure of releasing in collaboration with the Scotch Malt Whisky Society. We released it for Whisky & Alement's tenth birthday and it truly helped us to escape lockdown in a sense, with its flavours of pineapple, lime, pear juice and a whole lot of other tropical notes, elevated thanks to an unusual cask finish in an ex-Nicaraguan rum cask.
As far as I'm concerned, the defining place to get a drink in Melbourne is Capitano, closely followed by Near and Far. You go to Capitano for the delicious Italian food, and all you talk about after leaving are the cocktails. Hats off to you, Darren! At Near and Far in Fitzroy, they have the most amazing selection of beer and know how to make you feel welcome.
My favourite place to buy booze is Blackhearts & Sparrows because it's close to home and has a great selection of, well, everything.
When someone hands me a wine list in a restaurant, I head straight to the fortifieds page and work my way through the list from fino to muscatel. I particularly love exploring local examples, like Pennyweight fino, Campbell's muscat or any Seppeltsfield fortified, especially my favourites the Seppeltsfield Solero Aged Flor Apera or a thick Para Tawny.
The Victorian spirit I'm digging the most right now is Backwoods rye whiskey and its cheeky little red-gum cask that's yet to be released. This whisky is a stand-out for a couple of reasons, one being that the whisky is matured not in oak, which is what just about every other distillery uses, but in red gum. It's also a rare example of an Australian rye whiskey. I love its aroma of Big Red chewing gum, biscuits dunked in tea and jam sandwiches on dark rye. Backwoods is made by two teachers, Bree and Leigh Atwood, who relocated to Yackandandah from Melbourne and started distilling in their garage. I can't wait to see what they do next.
I'd love to see us planting more Australian native grain in Victoria because it tastes bloody incredible and will help to rejuvenate our land with other beneficial knock-on effects such as bushfire management. Adelaide Hills Distillery's Native Grain releases are testament to the fact that local grain can produce incredibly delicious spirit (albeit at a cost).
My guilty pleasure in the fridge is sparkling water, for those moments when I need a little break between Christmas parties.
The best or most important change to the way we drink in Victoria in recent years has been the no- and low-alcohol movement. It fascinates me to think that large parts of the world, such as cultures in the Middle East and Asia, can socialise over non-alcoholic drinks and still have big, flavourful, fun options such as teas, fruit juices, fermented milks and other plant-based drinks such as sugar cane juice. The possibilities really excite me.
For me, the most inspiring person in the Victorian drinks world is Darren Leaney at Capitano because his cocktails are like contemporary art: creative and delicious but delivered without flashy showmanship. I value humility in our industry, and I believe that we'd see more career bartenders if we had more mentors with Darren's combination of drinks knowledge, modesty and creative skill.
Pop in to Whisky & Alement and say hello to Brooke and the team at 270 Russell St, Melbourne, Thurs-Sun 4pm-midnight. You can see what's pouring at the bar by following @whiskyandalement on Instagram or keep up with Brooke's adventures on @brookeofmelbourne.
