With mostly new entrants striving to extract hydrocarbons from geologically difficult terrains, it may be too early to rejoice.
Wednesday's Cabinet approval for award of 31 oilfields, a first for the Modi government, has set the ball rolling for India to ramp up energy security at a time when 80 per cent of its oil needs are met by imports. However, as the saying goes, 'It isn't over till the fat lady sings'. With mostly new entrants striving to extract hydrocarbons from geologically difficult terrains, it may be too early to rejoice.
Exploration and production of crude oil is a very capital intensive endeavour. Apart from deploying huge capital, an entity needs top-class technology, engineering expertise and scientists to extract crude oil at economical prices. No wonder the E&P business is considered among the most challenging and risky propositions.
The Indian market is dominated by state-run upstream companies mainly Oil and Natural Gas Corp (ONGC) and Oil India Limited which have been around for more than 50 years. These firms, in-spite of being backed by the sovereign, struggle to extract oil. ONGC's oil and gas production has fallen more than 6 per cent and 9 per cent respectively in the last five years. Needless to say, extracting oil and gas, even for a Rs 84,585 crore behemoth like ONGC, is easier said than done.
Also, the petroleum industry is very price sensitive and the players involved are continuously working towards increasing efficiency to bring their overheads down and their margins up. The new entrants, with no historical data to rely on, will face the biggest challenge on pricing front. The question is, in a competitive market, what would be the incentive for a downstream company to source crude oil or gas from a new player at a higher cost? Even if these companies manage on the pricing front, signing short or long term contracts with downstream players would be a major challengebecause they would have no prior performance history related to production and supply.
It is worth remembering that most of the reserves being allocated are located in difficult and isolated terrains – a major reason why ONGC and OIL India faced difficulties to produce activities. Even if the new entrants are able to tap the reserves and commence production, evacuation connectivity will be a major hurdle. State-run upstream companies have the balance sheets to construct pipelines and facilitate the transport of crude oil and gas. Would the new entrants have the financial and technical muscle to do the same? Would it be economically viable for them to enter into mid-stream infrastructure creation? Will the new entrants be able to attract investors considering the hostility and unpredictability of the business? These are genuine and serious questions.
The centre says production in these discovered oil fields could not take placedue to multiple reasons including isolated locations, small size of reserves, high development costs, technological constraints and fiscal regime. Yet, what came as a pleasant surprise to the government, the auctions received a healthy response -- 134 e-bids were received for 34 contract areas. Of these, the government awarded 31 contract areas to 22 companies. Of the 22 companies which were awarded E&P rights, 15 are new players with no prior experience in the oil and gas industry.
According to the oil ministry, the award of the blocks will go a long way in meeting the target of 10 per cent reduction in oil imports by 2022 set by the PM. The fields are estimated to hold 62 million tonnes of oil and gas equivalent. The reserves are expected to garner gross revenue of around Rs 46,400 crore over their life. Of this, royalty collected and the government's revenue share is expected to be around Rs 5,000 crore and 9,300 crore respectively.

Dark Chocolate Merckens Candy Coatings (also known as Merckens Cocoa Dark) is a special candy melt designed for melting, molding, and dipping without the need for tempering.
These candy wafer buttons are made by Merckens in the USA. Unlike candy melts found in craft stores, Merckens tastes like high-quality chocolate. It's smooth, creamy, and delicious.
Merckens candy coatings are manufactured in a nut-free facility. Merckens chocolate does not contain nuts. Please note Merckens does carry a peanut butter candy coating (we no longer carry this item to avoid cross-contamination), but they manufacture this product in a separate facility. We repackage our Merckens candy coatings and chocolate in 1 LB and 5 LB bags, and we take the absolute best care to ensure cross-contamination does not occur, but because we are not a dedicated nut-free facility, we cannot state that our 1 and 5 pound bags of Merckens are nut free.

Donald Trump's first year in office delivered an array of important achievements: confirmation of conservative judges, including Neil Gorsuch; more support for oil pipelines and oil drilling; dramatic progress against ISIS; deregulation and enhanced border security; the end of meddlesome net neutrality; the recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital; and, most importantly, sweeping tax cuts and a new pro-business approach. What's striking about these accomplishments isn't how extraordinary they are but how normal: how consistent with well-established Republican goals and values. It's easy to imagine that much the same policies might have been pursued by President Trump's primary rivals—or by Mitt Romney, the last GOP nominee.
The two initiatives that caused most substantial disagreement with many conventional conservatives—canceling the Trans Pacific Partnership and unilaterally leaving the Paris accords—hardly defined Trump's presidency or brought about the calamitous results his critics feared. At year's end, President Trump found historic success not as a radical outsider but as a sensible, determined, mainstream Republican.

East German Cinema Blog
A Blog About the Films of East Germany
May 18, 2014 September 27, 2015 by Jim Morton
Murder Case Zernik
Like Fritz Lang's M and Robert Siodmak's The Devil Strikes at Night (Nachts, wenn der Teufel kam), Murder Case Zernik continues the fine tradition of German films about serial killers. This one adds a uniquely East German twist to the concept: The killer's motives aren't based on the usual psycho-sexual impulses but on capitalist greed. He kills for profit not lust. We know right from the start who the killer is, We are there when he strangles Katharina Zernik, then pours acid on her face to hamper identification. The question is whether the police will be able to bring him to justice and how.
This is a police procedural with a difference. As the police investigate the murder, they find their progress on the case continually stymied by the authorities in the Allied sectors (the Americans in particular, not surprisingly). Access to information is blocked, and false information is published to make the East German police look bad. Neverless, criminal investigator Stügner and his upstanding if somewhat undernourished assistant, Horst Kramm, work hard to figure out who killed Katharina Zernik.
The story takes place in 1948, which serves as an important plot point. The summer of 1948 was a tumultuous time in Berlin. On June 21st of that year, a new Deutschmark was introduced to the western sectors, followed a couple days later by the "B-mark"—a version of the currency specifically intended for use in the western sectors of Berlin. Not happy with this (particularly since it went directly against the agreement that the Allies and the Soviets had signed), the Berlin blockade began. Then in August, while West Berlin's provisional governor, Louise Schroeder, was being treated for health problems, her stand-in, Christian Democrat Ferdinand Friedenburg, canned the chief of police, Paul Markgraf, because he was a member of East Germany's SED party. From here on out there would be no cooperation between East and West Berlin. All of this plays into the movie's plot as the killer bounces back forth across the border with impunity. The film uses historical footage to add to the drama.
The film's production got off to a rocky start when director Gerhard Klein fell ill and died. The film sat on a shelf while Mr. Klein's assistant director Helmut Nitzschke wrangled for permission to finish the movie. Mr. Nitzschke eventually was granted permission and the film was completed two years later. Mr. Nitzschke is an able craftsman, and the finished film is a good, uniquely East German Krimi. It didn't hurt that it was written by the always reliable Wolfgang Kohlhaase. It is reportedly based on the personal recollections of people who worked as police at the time—more, I suspect, as a jumping off point than any kind of dramatization of actual events.
Director Helmut Nitzschke had some big shoes to fill when he took over from Gerhard Klein. Mr. Klein, after all, is the man who gave us such classics as A Berlin Romance, The Gleiwitz Case, and Berlin Schönhauser Corner. Gerhard Klein had a style like no other; both gritty and cinematic. Mr. Nitzschke had worked with Gerhard Klein before. This proved to be both a blessing and a curse. Mr. Nitzschke was assistant director on Klein's Berlin um die Ecke (Berlin, Around the Corner), which was one of the films banned after the 11th Plenum.
It would be a few years before Mr. Nitzschke had a chance to demonstrate his talent at DEFA again, starting in 1969 with Nebelnacht (Foggy Night), a Krimi based on Heiner Rank's crime fiction of the same name. After Murder Case Zernik, Mr. Nitzschke made Das Licht auf dem Galgen (The Light on the Gallows), an historical drama based on the novel by Anna Seghers. In spite of good reviews and and an endorsement from Ms. Seghers, the film bombed at the the box office. After that, he wrote and directed a couple episodes of the popular cop show, Polizeiruf 110, but little else. Some of this may be due his highly active participation in the Christian church. More recently, he has been a strong advocate for Quan-Yin, a method of meditation created by Suma Ching Hai, the Vietnamese/Chinese spiritual leader who popped up in the news after her followers donated $600,000 to President Clinton's legal defense fund during the Lewinski case. Mr. Nitzschke is married to Heidemarie Wenzel, star of The Dove on the Roof and The Legend of Paul and Paula.
Playing the rookie detective Kramm is Alexander Lang. As with many other East German actors, Mr. Lang got his start in theater, working at first as a stagehand and eventually moving onto the boards. He is best known to western audiences as Ralph, Sunny's cavalier love interest in Solo Sunny and as Latte in Frank Vogel's Just Don't Think I'll Cry. During the eighties, he directed a couple of TV movies for DFF, but he primarily concentrated on directing plays as the Deutsches Theater in Berlin. After the Wende, Mr. Lang continued his career as a theater director, as well as an occasional appearance in front of the footlights, but he has appeared in no more films since the fall of the wall.
The killer, Erwin Retzmann, is played by Gert Gütschow, whose work was usually restricted to secondary roles. To and fan of East German cinema, his face is immediately recognizable, having appeared in such films as Till Eulenspiegel, Jadup and Boel, and Bear Ye One Another's Burdens. After the Wende, he appeared in a few films and TV movies, and a recurring role as Dr. Keller on the popular TV hospital drama In aller Freundschaft. He continues to appear on stage, and often works in radio and as a voice talent for dubbing.
Kurt Böwe plays Inspector Stügner—a role he could do in his sleep. Whenever a DEFA film called for a kind but firm police official, you can bet Kurt Böwe's name was near the top of the list of possible choices. Mr. Böwe came from the stage and began his on-screen acting with television in the sixties. He appeared in smaller roles in various feature films during this period, but it was his role as the idealistic sculptor Herbert Kemmel in Konrad Wolf's Der nackte Mann auf dem Sportplatz (The Naked Man in the Stadium) that brought him to the public's attention. From then on he appeared in several more feature films, most notably, Jadup and Boel. Having already been active in television during the GDR years, the Wende had little effect on him. He continued working in television playing Kommissar Kurt Groth on the popular police series Polizeiruf 110. He died in Berlin in 2000. His daughters, Susanne and Winnie have gone on to become successful actors in their own right.
It didn't hurt that the technical crew for this film included cinematographer Claus Neumann, Composer Hans-Dieter Hosalla, and editor, Evelyn Carow—three of DEFA's most talented technicians in their respective fields. Nor did it hurt that the supporting cast included the talents of Rolf Hoppe, Lissy Tempelhof, Käthe Reichel, and Agnes Kraus.
Krimis are always popular with the public and this film is no exception. It is too bad that Helmut Nitzschke's output is so meager. Had he made more films, perhaps the followers of the auteur approach to film studies might have had something to hang their hat on. Instead he is ignored and is one of the few directors on the German Wikipedia list of DEFA films who has no page of his own. I hope this doesn't translate into Murder Case Zernik being overlooked. It is an interesting and unusual thriller that deserves more attention.

Thanks so much for writing up on films like this. Gives me a lot to look forward to watching once I've brushed up on my German.
Jim Morton says:
Thanks. I like your site as well. Some of the films are not available on DVD with subtitles, but there are subtitles online. A case in point is the next film I'll be discussing.

This paper is the report of a study conducted by five people – four at Stanford, and one at the University of Wisconsin – which tried to establish whether computer-generated algorithms could "recognize" literary genres. You take 'David Copperfield', run it through a program without any human input – "unsupervised", as the expression goes – and ... can the program figure out whether it's a gothic novel or a 'Bildungsroman'? The answer is, fundamentally, Yes: but a Yes with so many complications that it is necessary to look at the entire process of our study. These are new methods we are using, and with new methods the process is almost as important as the results.

In the last few years, literary studies have experienced what we could call the rise of quantitative evidence. This had happened before of course, without producing lasting effects, but this time it's probably going to be different, because this time we have digital databases, and automated data retrieval. As Michel's and Lieberman's recent article on "Culturomics" made clear, the width of the corpus and the speed of the search have increased beyond all expectations: today, we can replicate in a few minutes investigations that took a giant like Leo Spitzer months and years of work. When it comes to phenomena of language and style, we can do things that previous generations could only dream of.
When it comes to language and style. But if you work on novels or plays, style is only part of the picture. What about plot – how can that be quantified? This paper is the beginning of an answer, and the beginning of the beginning is network theory. This is a theory that studies connections within large groups of objects: the objects can be just about anything – banks, neurons, film actors, research papers, friends... – and are usually called nodes or vertices; their connections are usually called edges; and the analysis of how vertices are linked by edges has revealed many unexpected features of large systems, the most famous one being the so-called "small-world" property, or "six degrees of separation": the uncanny rapidity with which one can reach any vertex in the network from any other vertex. The theory proper requires a level of mathematical intelligence which I unfortunately lack; and it typically uses vast quantities of data which will also be missing from my paper. But this is only the first in a series of studies we're doing at the Stanford Literary Lab; and then, even at this early stage, a few things emerge.

If there is one thing to be learned from David Foster Wallace, it is that cultural transmission is a tricky game. This was a problem Wallace confronted as a literary professional, a university-based writer during what Mark McGurl has called the Program Era. But it was also a philosophical issue he grappled with on a deep level as he struggled to combat his own loneliness through writing. This fundamental concern with literature as a social, collaborative enterprise has also gained some popularity among scholars of contemporary American literature, particularly McGurl and James English: both critics explore the rules by which prestige or cultural distinction is awarded to authors (English; McGurl). Their approach requires a certain amount of empirical work, since these claims move beyond the individual experience of the text into forms of collective reading and cultural exchange influenced by social class, geographical location, education, ethnicity, and other factors. Yet McGurl and English's groundbreaking work is limited by the very forms of exclusivity they analyze: the protective bubble of creative writing programs in the academy and the elite economy of prestige surrounding literary prizes, respectively. To really study the problem of cultural transmission, we need to look beyond the symbolic markets of prestige to the real market, the site of mass literary consumption, where authors succeed or fail based on their ability to speak to that most diverse and complicated of readerships: the general public. Unless we study what I call the social lives of books, we make the mistake of keeping literature in the same ascetic laboratory that Wallace tried to break out of with his intense authorial focus on popular culture, mass media, and everyday life.

Most texts that deal with Martin tom Dieck's black-and-white comic "hundert Ansichten der Speicherstadt" (Zürich: Arrache Cœur, 1997, French title: Vortex) claim that it depicts the eponymous warehouse district (Speicherstadt) in Hamburg. As this paper shows, this claim is inaccurate: although the architecture in tom Dieck's drawings clearly refers to buildings in the warehouse district, the differences in the details are so obvious, that to speak of a straightforward depiction of the Speicherstadt is oversimplifying. After a brief comparison with Christoph Schäfer's picture book "Die Stadt ist unsere Fabrik" (Leipzig: Spector Books, 2010), the paper concludes with a discussion of the depiction of urban environments in general and in tom Dieck's book in particular.

Let's not forget that 1492, one of the first landmarks of Modernity, was both the year of the conquest of the Americas and of the fall or of the Reconquista of Granada, both of inner and outer ethnic cleansing of the nation state; that the national state was a colonial state and is now a securitarian state, that colonialism was the very form of Western Modernity, that the French Revolution itself was colonial, that the leader of the first Black revolutionary independence movement, Toussaint Louverture (Haiti), died in a French prison though inspired by the French Revolution. - No-one has access to reason as whole: there is no such thing as the whole of Reason, or Reason as a whole, or the Totality of reason. Reason is patched up of disconnected bits and pieces that reside at different addresses.

The premise of this book is quite intriguing to me, a person who spends much of his time engaged in creative work. The Path of Least Resistance argues that creativity functions best when you put as little resistance against it as you can. In other words, if you take away obstacles and open as many creative channels as you can, you'll maximize your creative potential.
I understand this premise deeply – it's why I often write in the middle of the night with nothing on but some light instrumental music while my children and my wife are in bed. I'm not worried about work or any deadlines and I can just open the floodgates – that's when the ideas happen. I think it also explains why many people come up with great ideas in the shower – the opportunity to use a shower to slow down, enjoy the warm water and cleanliness, and let some stress pass out of us opens up the creative channels.
Robert Fritz's idea is certainly intriguing, but how is it useful? The Path of Least Resistance is basically a guide for creative people on how to minimize creative obstacles and open creative channels in our everyday life, which is invaluable if you buy into the central idea that this is a big key for creative thought (which I do). Admittedly, there is a bit of what I like to describe as "New Age language" in this book – words that don't relate to concrete action – but there's also a lot of compelling thought and action within these covers.
Fritz opens the book by identifying the three basic underlying principles of the book. First, you go through life taking the path of least resistance. In other words, we spend our lives trying to find the path to our goals that involves the smallest number of obstacles. Second, the underlying structure of your life determines the path of least resistance. This includes your predispositions, ethics, and thought patterns, as well as external pieces like your job, your personal life, and so on. Third, you can change the underlying structures of your life. You can change jobs. You can seek out therapy. You can rearrange your living room. The trick is to find the structures in your life that can create a path with less resistance than the one you're following right now. I think that's a pretty sensible philosophy for life, actually.
Most people go through life merely going with the flow of the events around them, reacting (negatively) or responding (positively) to these events. Rather than looking for things that can be changed, their path of least resistance involves just floating along until an external event forces them to change paths. They either react by fighting it or they respond by trying to solve the problem, and when it's fixed, they go back to drifting. Some people execute preemptive strikes against potential problems they see coming, but it's still just a way to get back to the act of drifting. The problem is that it's hard to be truly creative when you're constantly having to leap out of your flow to react or respond to things – think about sitting at your desk and trying to think about something when the phone rings. Usually, your creative flow is shot while you deal with the phone call – and that's a bad thing for people who work creatively.
Here, Fritz distinguishes between problem solving and creating, a distinction I hadn't really thought about. Problem solving is merely an extension of the reactive-responsive orientation in the last chapter – a problem comes along, you bring your mind to bear on solving it, and the problem is reduced or goes away. Creating, on the other hand, is the process of bringing something new into the world. I like to think of it in terms of writing – the core germ of the idea just seems to appear out of nowhere, but once I've captured it, the art of honing it is sometimes much like problem solving. Yet the two processes are so completely different as to be like night and day.
The creative process itself is very hard to write about in tangible terms, and most written accounts usually come off as sounding nonsensical. Fritz tries very hard here to avoid falling into that trap and only partially succeeds. He tries to break it down into pieces, which works on some levels but doesn't work on others. I think he's right, though, on some key aspects: practice the fundamental skills needed, know what other people are doing, throw things against the wall to see what works, develop the themes that do work, and use the more finished pieces to seed other creative pieces. That's basically how I work in developing ideas and concepts – I read a lot of personal finance material and what other bloggers are writing, I write a lot to keep the skills flowing, and when I have an idea, I gradually flesh it out and it often bears seeds for other, later ideas.
Fritz argues that the creative process is results-oriented, in contrast to the reactive-responsive orientation which is problem-oriented. Although a creative person may be interested in the process itself and seek to refine it by working on their skills and so on, the real crux of the creative orientation is in the results you achieve. What do you want to make? Once you've defined that as clearly as you can, you can follow your own process to that result, either your own self-defined process or processes borrowed from others and modified a bit to fit you. Things like practicing your notes or your painting or your writing merely seek to strengthen the process that goes from nothing to the result you desire. Also, in this orientation (as compared to reactive-responsive), you can define your desired result at any time instead of waiting for a problem to come along. It's very much self-driven.
This chapter discusses a pretty important point in a lot of words. First of all, whenever we're tense, it's because there's some sort of unresolved issue in our life. Obviously, the best solution is to resolve it so that the tension goes away, but often we don't. Why? There's often some tension in the solution as well, something completely different. Here's an example: say there's someone in your workplace that harasses you, creating tension. Your solution to that problem would probably involve confronting the person or talking to a supervisor, but the thought of both of those solutions is also tense. So you're being effectively pulled in two directions at once – the tension of the situation, plus the tension of thinking about talking to a supervisor. Now, you might be able to overcome this by just getting up the courage to talk to a supervisor, but what if the supervisor is the harasser? You're stuck.
Fritz makes the argument here that most of the solutions for compensating for this tension really don't work. Positive thinking just stretches out the problem. Most self-help groups, particularly those for shaking addictions, end in relapse. That's because these solutions often don't deal with the problem directly – instead, they deal with avoiding the problem. So, the obvious question becomes "how do I deal with this problem?" The best solution is to change the underlying structure. If you have a drinking problem, find friends that don't drink and engage in a daily routine that doesn't take you near the bar. If you're stressed out about work, find a new job or request a significant change in your workplace. In other words, take action that changes the playing field – don't just think about it. That's awesome advice.
Our lives are full of tension. For some people, this is nothing but a raw negative – it makes them tense and brings them down with stress. For others, it can be a positive – they use that tension to push themselves towards better solutions. The creative process, for example, is just using that tension to create something new. The book offers up two pieces to that puzzle.
The first piece is vision, or an idea of what you want to create or accomplish. A true vision is something tangible that can clearly be accomplished, even if the path to get there isn't clear. It is not a mission statement-type thing: if you're talking about "creating something great," that's not tangible nor useful. If I wrote "I want to create a great blog," that has no real meaning because I don't know what "great" is – I need to work more on the idea until it's tangible. What I really like about this book is that it effectively criticizes "empty" solutions, like the power of positive thinking and empty mission statements.
Most people don't face reality as it really exists. They're often loaded down with excuses and false reasons for why things are the way they are – it's a basic defense mechanism that we spend our whole lives building up. We learn it as children when we find it's easier to lie about something we did wrong (and avoid punishment) than to tell the truth (and get punished for a bad deed). That perspective argues for a pretty significant difference in parenting style, doesn't it? It carries on through adulthood in various ways, disguising the reality of our actions and our lives. Fritz merely argues that the more honest we are about our lives, the clearer a better path in life becomes. Instead of convincing ourselves that our job is good or bad, we look at it for what it really is and make a choice based on that – and so on. Eventually, it becomes much easier to see the real obstacles to creativity – and to understand what needs to be done to change them.
At this point, the book shifts a bit into a deeper study of the actual process of creating something. Fritz argues that the creation of anything breaks down into three pieces: germination (the initial spark of the idea), assimilation (where you stew on the idea and allow it to develop), and completion (where you actually finish up the idea, creating something new). It's pretty easy to see these three steps at work when I write: I get the basic idea for a post (germination), let it sit in my mind for a while to grow (assimilation), and then I draft and polish it a bit (completion).
The Path of Least Resistance argues here that the biggest part of germination of an idea is choice. We make choices about what to create, discarding ideas that don't work in an effort to find one that does. Ideally, this process leads us to the best idea, the one that's worth assimilation and, eventually, completion. The biggest challenge, though, is that we sometimes use faulty criteria to make that choice – we'll discard great ideas because they're too hard and they may stress us too much. I'm guilty of this, too – I've came up with great ideas for The Simple Dollar, but discarded them because I could quickly tell that proper execution of the idea would be a ton of work.
I found that revelation to be one of the best parts of the book, the piece that really ties everything together. These criteria that one uses to discard great ideas and instead select merely good ones are the obstacles in your life that really stymie the creative process. For me, the biggest one is time – and I know that. Thus, I need to seek ways to find more time to develop the truly great ideas. There are other obstacles, too – I've discarded great ideas because I knew they would be emotionally demanding or they might reveal more about myself or about others than I feel comfortable talking about on The Simple Dollar. These all have solutions – facing my fears – and they all would result in some changes in my life and the way I think about things.
Fritz carries on that idea here, arguing that most choices in life are either primary, secondary, or fundamental. The best way to show the difference is in an example. A person who desires to stop smoking may make a primary choice to try a particular package to help stop smoking, and may make a secondary choice not to light up. However, their fundamental choice is to choose to be a nonsmoker. If they've not made that choice, the primary and secondary choices won't help. Now, once that fundamental choice is made, there are obviously some primary choices that are easier than others – a nicotine gum, for example, might be easier than cold turkey, but that choice really doesn't matter if you've not made the choice to stop smoking. The same idea applies to anything in one's life – you might choose to write a great novel, but if you haven't made the fundamental choice to be a writer – and take on the commitments that the choice involves – you will never be a great writer.
Here, The Path of Least Resistance argues that assimilation – or the carrying of an idea inside of you and letting it grow and develop – is a major key to the process. It can involve thinking about the idea, practicing fundamental skills, or just letting it rest in the subconscious. It is that assimilation that creates something distinct and unique – the combination of an idea along with the internal struggles and conflicts and desires within you. In other words, keeping an idea inside for a while often creates something truly great.
Fritz describes something I've felt and seen over and over again. As an idea grows within you, it starts to build momentum – there's really no other way to describe it. The pieces start to fall into place and it begins to grow into something truly compelling in your mind – and eventually, it wants out. It demands to be made. This can take a lot of different forms. Maybe you start executing a bit at a time, and each step is successful, pushing you along to more success. Maybe you just store it up and keep tinkering with it until it's right – and then you create in a giant rush. Often, what I do is create a basic structure in my mind, set that basic structure down, then start creating and filling in pieces.
At various points along the way, it can seem like you're not making any real progress. Perhaps you've made the fundamental choice to become a healthy person by preparing your own healthy food, but after a week you're not seeing much difference in the mirror. The best solution to this is to really look carefully at the reality of the situation. You simply are putting healthy stuff into your body, and sometimes it takes a while for natural processes to occur. Small milestones really help during this process – if you can get through a single day of eating healthy, then get through another one, then another one, eventually you will begin seeing larger effects, like a healthier body.
When a project is completed, it can create a rush of emotions: exhiliration, sadness, a strong sense of accomplishment, and a desire for recognition. The most important piece, though, is discovering what you learned from the project as a whole – and seeing that the seeds of germination for future projects are found and put into place. Ideally, this is what a project's "post mortem" should be about, but quite often it dissolves into slaps on the back and self-congratulation.
The Path of Least Resistance begins to wind down the book here with a chapter that would seem to almost fit perfectly into Atlas Shrugged. Fritz basically argues that as long as creative people exist, the world will be in good shape, and calls for society to recognize the value of people who are strong creators – those who create strong ideas and those who can build those ideas into something useful for all.
The book ends with a few notes on transcendence, the idea that making fundamental choices in your life can literally transform you as a person and carry you past what you believed were your limitations before. This is usually the result of a number of fundamental choices along with recognizing what the obstacles in your life are and working to change them. For example, if I were to make the fundamental choice to be a healthy person and also seek more uninterrupted time to develop my creative writing ideas, I'd likely experience some transcendence in my own life.
The Path of Least Resistance, quite simply, was one of the best books I've read in a long while. It made me think deeply about the creative process I use for The Simple Dollar, as well as the other creative endeavors in my life. It also made me think a lot about how I handle problems and challenges in my own life. I've consistently failed at committing to a healthier life, and I didn't really realize why until I read this book. I made the primary choice to eat healthier or to exercise, but I didn't make that fundamental choice because some part of me did not want to really commit to it – it was not a fundamental choice I really wanted to make. I didn't really want to give up the giant cheeseburgers, in essence. This book, more than anything else I've ever read, teased out these thoughts.
One caveat: there are pieces of this book that are somewhat weighted down with jargon, but unlike a lot of books that have this problem, there is a valuable message underneath the language if you try to piece it out (which I did in this review). I think that Fritz could actually rewrite some pieces and make them less jargon-oriented in a future edition and it would make the book a bit more accessible to readers.
Having said that, anyone that is involved in a creative process in their life should read this book. Just stop by the library, check it out, give it a slow read-through, and think about it. There are some really worthwhile revelations in this one.
In fact, I'll give it the highest recommendation I can give a book: it's found a coveted place on my personal bookshelf. Why? Because I intend to read it again – and perhaps multiple times. It is rare that a book leaves me feeling that way.


Obviously, the more sweet potatoes you roast, the more food you will have to save, and the more energy you will be saving by making a bunch of food at once.
1. Preheat oven to 400 deg F. Get your large glass baking dish ready. Grease it up if you like, though I don't find it to be necessary.
2. Poke your sweet potatoes! About 10 times all over each of them. Big fat ones work best. Rinse off if they are especially dirty. Make sure they look pretty and are a nice deep reddish-orange-brown and sometimes even purple color. You do not need to purchase organic, since the skin will be coming off, and pesticides do not penetrate the thick skin of sweet potatoes very easily, but I find that the quality of organic sweet potatoes tends to be better. They are also not usually that much more expensive. If you have a Costco membership, they usually have a 10 pound box of conventionally grown for $6-$7.
3. Bake at 400 degrees for 40 minutes in glass dish.
4. After 40 minutes, check on your spuds. Stick a fork into the fattest one, it should be really really soft and go through easily. If it's still a little hard, flip them over and put back in the oven for 10-30 minutes.
5. When the sweet potatoes are nice on soft, take them out of the oven, and leave on the counter in the dish, until cool. In other words, leave them on the counter until you forgot that you had roasted sweet potatoes for baby food, and several hours later when you come back to the kitchen, there they will be on your counter!
6. Peel the skins off. This will be soooo easy, you'll wonder why you ever used a vegetable peeler to make roasted sweet potatoes. The skins slip right off, it's magical.
7. Place 2 potatoes in blender at a time, and puree until very smooth. You will probably need to add about 1/2 cup of water. You can also add a little bit (like 1-2 Tbsp) of lemon juice, to keep it from browning. Feel free to add other stuff too, like apple, bananas, steamed carrots, roasted squash, etc.
Obviously, the more sweet potatoes you roast, the more food you will have to save for future use, and the more energy you will be saving by making a bunch of food at once.
It looks like you have attracted quite the respectable following these days.


Happyland is an independent movie directed by Jim Libiran. The movie is also an entry to Cinemanila, the annual film festival for independent films.
The film tells the story of a Spanish missionary priest who tries to form a group of disadvantaged boys from Tondo into a fighting football team. The story is based on true events that took place in Tondo in the 1980s, when Spanish priests from the Don Bosco parish and youth center began teaching football to local out-of-school youths. These boys eventually formed a football team that became legendary for playing barefoot because they couldn't afford to buy football shoes.
The screening will on March 9, 6:00pm at UP Film Institute inside University of the Philippines Diliman campus in Quezon City, Metro Manila, ticket price is P200.

The Hoppringle Prioresses of Coldstream Abbey
The Hoppringill of that Ilk family produced four Prioresses of Coldstream:
Margaret Hoppringill, 1489-1506: Widow of Rob. Bekirtoun de Lufnos, mother of Wil de Bekirtoun and sister of Dominis Arch. Pringill, capellano (G.S. 780/782 4 Feb 1463-64 & 1932 24 Jun 1489.
Isabella Hoppringill, 1506-37: Elected before 6 Jun 1506 so could not be the wife of David Hume de Wedderburn (G.S. 3006, 1 Dec 1506). She died on 26 Jan 1536-37.
Jonet Hoppringill, 1537-66: Elected on 23 Feb 1536-7. Sister of John Hoppringill of that Ilk and Robert prebender of Arniston.
Elizabeth Hoppringill, 1566-88: On 26 Jun 1566 she receives the whole benefice and monastery. She was Jonet's niece. Elizabeth, last of the prioresses appears to have died in 1588.
Abbess Hoppringle reclaimed the bodies from Flodden Field
Where the River Leet joins the Tweed, there was to be found the first major and reliable ford upstream from Berwick-upon-Tweed. This indeed was Coldstream's raison d'entre. Consequently, most major Scottish and English armies invaded each others territories over this ford. The last invading army was Scottish under the illustrious Duke of Montrose in 1640. Before the Union of the Crowns in 1603 permanent stone buildings were few. Coldstream Abbey was one and it was here that the noble casualties who fell at Flodden in 1513 were given Christian burial by Abbess Hoppringle. Although there are few remains today, names such as Nun's Walk, Penitent's Walk and Abbey Road are all reminders that the 12th Century Cistern Priory once stood here close to the Market Square.
Abbess Hoppringle commemorated each August in Coldstream
At 12.00 noon on Thursday in the first full week of August, this battle of Flodden is commemorated by a ride out led by the Coldstreamer, a young man who is elected to carry the town standard for the weeks festivities. There is an oration and service on the site of the battlefield where a sod is cut and carried back to the Tweed Green in Coldstream where a moving ceremony takes place to commemorate the actions of Abbess Hoppringle.
Prioress Isabella Hoppringle
Isabella Hoppringill (daughter of Adam Pringle of Burnhouse Tower) was Prioress of Coldstream Abbey, near Flodden. On hearing of the defeat she instructed that the bodies of the dead be brought to her for burial in consecrated ground. This noble act is still commemorated each August by a ceremony in the town.
When, in the same year, Queen Margaret and her husband fled from the Regent Albany to England, they had stopped at the convent and found Isabella a congenial and intelligent hostess. In 1515, Henry VIII issued an edict to the English Wardens protecting the Prioress and her convent.
In April, 1523, Queen Margaret wrote to the Earl of Surrey and Warden of the English Middle March to save the Abbey from burning, and they had granted her request, "because the prioress is one of the best spies we have in Scotland."

Polysomnography
(Polysomnogram; Overnight Sleep Study; Rapid Eye Movement Studies)
How to Say It: Pol-ee-som-NAH-grah-fee
Polysomnography (PSG) is a study of sleep cycles and sleep behavior. It is usually done in a sleep center overnight. This study involves observing a person at sleep while charting brain waves and other body functions.
This study is done to evaluate sleeping problems, such as:
Trouble falling or staying asleep— insomnia
Breathing that stops during sleep— apnea
Problems falling asleep suddenly during the day— narcolepsy
Nightmares and sleepwalking
Problems with arm or leg movement during sleep
There are no major, lasting problems from having this test.
The care team may meet with you to talk about:
Current medicines, herbs, and supplements that you take and whether you need to stop taking them before the study
Foods and drinks you may need to avoid, such as alcohol and items with caffeine
How to wash your hair before the study
What to wear for the study
Description of Test
You will arrive in the evening. You will be given time to relax in the room where you will sleep. Electrodes will be attached to your head, legs, and chest. Other monitors will be placed around your chest, near your nose and mouth, and on your finger. You will be able to read and relax until your bedtime.
For most of the night, you will be able to move and turn during sleep. But, you may be asked to try to sleep in a certain position for part of the night. You will be watched by video during the night. This will be done to make sure that the electrodes do not come loose. They can also be taken off to use the bathroom. Sometimes, the test may show that you can benefit from a certain treatment, such as continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). This may be started midway through the night.
CPAP Assistance
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
The doctor may ask for an additional test for narcolepsy. This is known as the Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT). You will need to stay for part of the next day. You will be asked to nap for up to 20 minutes every 2 hours. The time it takes you to fall asleep and the time it takes you to go into deep sleep will be measured.
The electrodes will be removed in the morning. Most people will be able to go home.
About 10 to 12 hours
Results from this test may be ready right away or within two weeks. Your doctor will go over the results and discuss them with you.
There should not be side effects or lasting problems from this study. Call your doctor if you have any concerns.

Kendall Woman Back on Her Feet After Year-Long Recovery
For more than three decades, Cassandra Hirsh has owned Scully's Tavern, a popular Kendall restaurant.
As Cassandra was getting ready to leave her house and head to work one day last September, the 68-year-old fell down the stairs and suffered a catastrophic injury.
"It happened in the blink of an eye," she said. "I can't remember how I fell. I was standing at the top step, and then suddenly, I was on the ground in unimaginable pain."
Home alone, she laid on the floor, drifting in and out of consciousness, unable to call for help or move to reach for a phone.
It wasn't until six hours later that her husband, Chris, returned home from the restaurant, where he had been smoking ribs for the week ahead.
He discovered a horrific scene: Cassandra laying on the ground, immobile, in a pool of her own blood. Chris frantically called 911.
Fire rescue carefully lifted Cassandra onto a stretcher. Her nose was broken and her face was covered in bruises. They rushed her to Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson South Medical Center.
A CT scan confirmed that Cassandra had a broken neck and an incomplete spinal cord injury. She was assessed by Ian Cote, MD, a UHealth – University of Miami Health System neurosurgeon who specializes in spine surgery at Ryder Trauma at Jackson South.
"She was in a lot of pain, incredibly weak, and couldn't move either one of her hands or her right leg," Dr. Cote said.
To alleviate the pressure of her spinal cord, Dr. Cote performed a complex cervical fusion surgery. This type of traumatic injury is rare, and if her medical team had not acted as expeditiously as they did, Cassandra risked permanent paralysis.
"When Cassandra came to the trauma unit, she had incomplete paralysis in her upper and lower extremities," Dr. Cote said. "But the surgery went great, and her body responded well to the procedure."
Following the successful surgery, Cassandra required physical rehabilitation to help her get back on her feet. She chose Christine E. Lynn Rehabilitation Center for The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis at UHealth/Jackson Memorial for its state-of-the-art facility, expert medical team, and commitment to including family in the patient's rehabilitation and recovery process.
During her six weeks at Lynn Rehabilitation Center, Cassandra underwent intense physical and occupational therapies to relearn how to use the right side of her body. In occupational therapy, her therapists incorporated her love for calligraphy into her daily exercises as a way to work on fine motor skills in her right hand, while her physical therapy focused on helping her regain strength in her right leg.
"Cassandra had a positive attitude and was driven to get better," said Oliver Acosta, MD, a physical medicine and rehabilitation physician who cared for her. "Our goal at inpatient rehab was to build her back up to help her regain a sense of independence."
She was discharged just before Christmas and was able to spend the holidays at home with her family.
After completing her outpatient physical and occupational therapy at Lynn Rehabilitation Center, Cassandra was thrilled with how much progress she made. She has regained most of the function in her right hand and is still working on regaining all of the strength in her right leg.
Most importantly, she's been able to go back to work and continuing managing her restaurant.
"I'm so thankful for the staff at Jackson South and at Lynn Rehab," Cassandra said. "All of my doctors and nurses were phenomenal throughout my recovery process. I wouldn't have progressed as quickly as I did if I didn't have an incredible surgeon and if I wasn't receiving great care at Lynn Rehab."

Charge It: New Green Nanotech Molecule Can Power Some Medical Devices
by zenger.news July 27, 2021
A biological material developed by nanotech scientists can generate electric currents and voltage cleanly, using surrounding movements to charge up.
Two years ago, an international research group led by scientists from Tel Aviv University published a paper about this material — a molecule called Hyp-Phe-Phe. It resembles collagen, a protein whose strength and flexibility make it useful in many applications, but is much shorter and simpler.
Now, in a study published in Nature Communications, the researchers show the new material shares another feature with collagen: piezoelectricity.
"Piezoelectricity is the ability of a material to generate electric currents and voltage as a result of the application of mechanical force, or vice versa, to create a mechanical force as the result of exposure to an electric field," said Ehud Gazit, professor in the department of molecular microbiology and biotechnology, Tel Aviv University.
"Most of the piezoelectric materials that we know of today are toxic lead-based materials, or polymers, meaning they are not environmentally and human body-friendly. Our new material, however, is completely biological, and therefore suitable for uses within the body."
The CPI microlyth pacemaker generates electrical impulses that cause the heart muscle chambers to contract and pump blood. (Wikimedia Commons)
For example, a device made from Hyp-Phe-Phe could replace a battery in implants like pacemakers. Heartbeats, jaw movements, bowel movements, or any other movement that occurs in the body on a regular basis would charge the device with electricity to continuously activate the implant.
The researchers are looking into developing medical devices. But their research could also be utilized in other fields to produce green energy using mechanical force that is already in use, such as a car driving down a street can turn on the streetlights, Gazit said.

When you used to consume alcohol, you would feel instant gratification. However, now you might expect instant feeling of well being after you quit alcohol. However, this is not going to happen in a day. You might have to keep patience for at least a few weeks to see the best results. Once you stay focused on your recovery and have great diet, you will start feeling better.
Even if we do not want to, we compare our worst habits with the best habits of others. You may witness someone with a better physique, more money, better looks, etc. However, you can only see in others what they want you to see. You are the only one who knows yourself inside out. Similarly, people endure many things in their life, but never want anyone to know. Therefore, it is better to understand that there are struggles in the life of every person despite what is visible to the naked eye and stop the comparison.
It is wise to be prepared for the future, but not to worry too much about it. During the phase of early recovery, you might feel anxious about your future, but you need to work towards your life goals and remain focused on the present. You can indulge in productive things that can improve your future such as learning a new language, musical instrument, swimming, etc. Doing such things will give you a feeling of accomplishment at the end of each day.
After you start feeling better because of the things you are doing to heal your life, you might make unrealistic commitments to yourself. Make realistic goals every week so that you can achieve them and feel victorious, not vice versa.
When you have old friends around you, you cannot expect them to quit drinking just because you did. You were wide enough to take the hold of your life at the right time, but the time for them may not have come. Therefore, it is better to resist the temptation to hang around with your old friends and avoiding the triggers, particularly in the early stage of recovery. You can try to make new sober friends and trust yourself; it is easier than you think.
Being completely cured of alcohol addiction takes a lot of time, often years. Even if you had a period of being sober, do not be overconfident that you are now healed and therefore, you can consume alcohol in regulation. The sobriety is dependent only on your staying away from alcohol at heart. You must want to stay abstain from alcohol, not because someone told you to do so. This is the time, when you can say that you are half cured. You still have a long way to go.

Q: DontDestroyOnLoad Object In a toggle I have an DontDestroyOnLoad audio,and i want to mute it with a toggle in the other scene(where the audio activates as a Dontdestroyonload object) How can I import/put Dontdestroyonload audio into a On Value Changed toggle that is in the other scene?

A: I could only imagine an implementation, based on your infos, that looks something like this:
//The audio to play
public AudioSource audio;
//The toggle
public bool play;

void Update()
{
    //Play if should AND it is stopped
    if(play && !audio.isPlaying)
        audio.Play(0);
    //Pause if should AND it is playing
    else if(!play && audio.isPlaying)
        audio.Pause();
}

This is just a very small EXAMPLE on how it could be realized.
The play bool would need to be manually changed


Despite vehement denials by Iran, new details emerged Tuesday regarding the alleged blast in the Fordo nuclear website.
The website reported Saturday that Fordo, which is considered to be Iran's second-largest uranium enrichment facility, has suffered a massive explosion, which has razed a significant part of it, trapping over 200 people underground.
The credibility of the report has been questioned mostly due to the fact that the Qom-adjacent facility has been carved into a mountain and as such it is believed to be virtually unassailable by neither air strikes nor bunker-buster bombs.
According to a Tuesday report by WND, the Revolutionary Guard has set up a 15km security zone around the site, cordoning it off completely.
The website said that among those now trapped in the belly of the mountain are 16 North Koreans, including 14 technicians, and two top military officers.
Iran insists the reports are "Western propaganda," but WND claims that the Times of London and the Germany's Die Welt both have sources that corroborated that a blast has crippled the Islamic Republic's most important nuclear site.
The US, however, questioned the report's validity: White House Spokesman Jay Carney said Monday that, "We have no information to confirm the allegations in the report and we do not believe the report is credible."
The Islamic regime's media, in a coordinated effort, reflected a similarly short response Sunday night in its denial, and Monday remained silent.
Still, WND quoted Dr. Ali Reza Nourizadeh, director of the Center for Arab and Iranian Studies in London, as confirming that the explosion had trapped many inside.
The US-based website further alleged to have a source that saw, first hand, CCTV footage of the blast.
The account was as follows: "On January 21, 14 members of the North Korean team and two military officers now stationed at Fordo, along with Iranian scientists, started the process of feeding uranium gas into the newly set-up cascades at 9:15 am (Tehran time)."
"At 10:43 am, due to a drop in power pressure, system warning signs went off, but everything went back to normal after two minutes. At 11:36 am, five explosions occurred concurrently in the centrifuge chambers, two explosions in the uranium reserve enclosures and a subsequent explosion in the main hallway close to the exit.
"At the time of the explosions, a very bright red and purple light distorted the image and an extremely loud noise could be heard," the account continues. "Before the explosions knocked out the cameras, interior walls could be seen coming down within the centrifuge chambers. All the explosions seemed to have been initiated from the ceilings."
The force of the blast knocked out all of the cameras on the facility's lowest level, which is about 300 feet underground, as well as those on the floor above it, WND claimed.
Other cameras soon malfunctioned, and according to the website, "The last images show eight personnel in anti-radiation clothing trying desperately to secure one of the rooms."

## What's midlang?

The aim of the first stage is to implement a [Domain-specific language][dsl],but have some differences.

1. The code generated by [midlang][midlang-github] is highly customizable. Use templates to generate code, even documents.
2. `midlang` was committed to eradicating boring and tedious code which can be generated, not just as a data interchange format.

The compiler `midc` compile midlang source code to an AST, and then you can visit the AST in template file.

Here is an example template file (`package.go.temp`\):

{% raw %}
```
package {{.Name}}

{{define "T_const"}}
{{.Doc}}const (
	{{range $field := .Consts}}{{$field.Name}} = {{$field.ValueString}}
	{{end}}
)
{{end}}

{{define "T_enum"}}
{{$type := .Name}}
type {{$type}} int

{{.Doc}}const (
	{{range $field := .Fields}}{{$type}}_{{$field.Name}} = {{$field.Value}}{{$field.Comment}}
	{{end}}
)
{{end}}

{{define "T_struct"}}
{{$type := .Name}}
{{.Doc}}type {{$type}} struct {
	{{range $field := .Fields}}{{$field.Name | title}} {{context.BuildType $field.Type}}{{$field.Comment}}
	{{end}}
}
{{end}}

{{define "T_protocol"}}
{{template "T_struct" .}}
{{end}}

{{define "T_service"}}
{{$type := .Name}}
{{.Doc}}type {{$type}} interface {
	{{range $field := .Fields}}{{$field.Name | title}} {{context.BuildType $field.Type}}{{$field.Comment}}
	{{end}}
}
{{end}}

{{.GenerateDeclsBySubTemplates}}
```
{% endraw %}

The following will be devoted to writing a document on how to use template in midlang.

Mainly includes the following points:

- template filename form: \<kind\>\[.suffix\][.flags].temp
	- kind maybe `package`,`file`,`const` and other bean kinds like `struct`,`protocol`,`service` etc.
	- struct.go.temp -> (struct, go)
	- struct.h.temp -> (struct, h)
	- struct.cpp.temp -> (struct, cpp)
	- struct.cpp.1.temp -> (struct, cpp)
- template kind `package`: each package as a data be applied to the template file
- template kind `file`: each source file as a data be applied to the template file
- template kind `const`: each constant group as a data be applied to the template file
- template kind `enum`: each enum type as a data be applied to the template file
- template kind `struct`: each struct as a data be applied to the template file
- template kind `protocol`: each protocol as a data be applied to the template file
- template kind `service`: each service as a data be applied to the template file
- template can use some builtin functions, e.g. `context`,`include`,`include_template`,`osenv` and many utility string functions.(all these functions are defined in `mid/src/tools/generator/generator.go`\)
- The `context` function returns a object `Context` which has fields `Pkg`, `Plugin`, `Config` and methods `BuildType`, `Env`, `FindBean` etc.

See [builtin templates](https://github.com/midlang/mid/tree/master/templates)

## Install

### Install from source

```sh
go get github.com/midlang/mid
cd /path/to/mid # replace `/path/to/mid` with your actual directory
./install.sh
```

### Install from binary package

Download and install

{% include download.html %}

```sh
tar zcf <name>.tar.gz
cd <name>

# install to /usr/local/
sudo ./install.sh

# or install to other directory, e.g. user directory
# PREFIX=$HOME ./install.sh
```

## Getting started

### Write a source file `demo.mid`

```
/**
 * package declaration must has a `;`
 */
package demo;

// constants
const (
	A = 1;
	B = 2;
)

// doc: status
// Status
enum Status {
	Ok = 0, // ok
	Bad = 1, // bad
}

struct User {
	int64 id;
	string name;
	vector<string> otherNames;
	array<byte,6> code;
}

protocol UserList {
	map<int64,User> users;
}

service UserService {
	sayHello()
	getUsers() UserList
	findUser(int64 uid) User
	delUser(int64) Status
}

struct Info extends User {
	string desc;
	map<int64,vector<map<int,array<bool,5>>>> xxx;
}
```

### Compile and generate codes

```sh
midc -I demo.mid -Ogo=generated/go
# Or
# midc -I demo.mid -Ogo=generated/go -K default
```

Try `midc -h` to get help information of compiler `midc`

Try this:

```sh
midc -I demo.mid -Ogo=generated/go -K beans
```

## Language plugins

Midlang language plugin used to generate code for the program language

Here are all builtin plugins:

- gengo - golang plugin
- gencpp - c++ plugin

You can write yourself plugin instead of using builtin plugin.

## Templates

Templates used to generate codes. You can use option `-T<lang>=<template_dir>` to specify templates for specified language, also you can use option `-K <template_kind>` to specify template kind(default template kind is default).

These no-bake bites are great to have on hand when you want a treat. We replaced the traditional powdered milk with a high-quality whey protein powder.
Mix the protein powder, honey, almond butter and almond extract together to form stiff dough. Chill the dough for at least an hour. Then scoop the dough into small balls, about 1 1/2 teaspoons each, and roll in either cocoa powder or shredded coconut or both. Refrigerate in an airtight container.
* You may need to adjust the quantity of protein powder depending on how creamy the almond butter is.
I would be interested in the nutritional breakdown of the recipes provided, including calories, fat, carb, salt, protein, etc.
