What could have been a rowdy protest staged by Hill District residents during a Pittsburgh Penguins' playoff game became something else instead: a subdued rally praising positive developments in negotiations surrounding construction of a new arena.
Surrounded by a about two dozen supporters at Freedom Corner in the Hill District, Carl Redwood, chairman of the One Hill Coalition, a grassroots movement of more than 100 community groups, announced on April 11 that talks between residents and the team had "made significant progress.
"We look to the very near future to bring a tentative agreement back to the residents of the Hill District," said Redwood.
Since last summer, One Hill has been fighting for a community-benefits agreement (CBA), which would ensure that when the Penguins' new $290 million hockey arena is built, the long-neglected Hill District benefits as well. Because the arena is supposed to be built primarily with public subsidies, the coalition is asking for a multi-purpose community center and community-improvement fund, among other requests.
Although negotiations have had their ups and downs over the past year, Redwood said, "We're closer [to an agreement] than we've ever been before."
Redwood attributes the recent strides forward to One Hill's mobilization efforts over the past few weeks. Hill District residents inundated Penguins' President David Morehouse with phone calls, while word spread that One Hill was planning on staging "the mother of all protests" before the Penguins' April 11 game against the Ottawa Senators. As such efforts mounted, the Penguins began talking directly to community leaders rather than relying on city or county officials, as they had done previously [see "CBA Talks: Pens back at table after threat of playoff protest," April 10].
Redwood says an angrier April 11 protest was called off because "We're negotiating in good faith. We didn't want to blast the Penguins right now. We have to give talks a chance to work."
"We've been having some really positive discussions," Morehouse said after walking off stage with Mayor Luke Ravenstahl and County Executive Dan Onorato at an April 11 Penguins' rally at the county courthouse, about an hour before the One Hill press conference. "Talks are continuing, and I think we're making progress. We're pretty close to reaching a deal."
Yarone Zober, Ravenstahl's chief of staff, agreed, saying, "discussions were really positive" in the past week. Specifically, he said, negotiators jumped a major hurdle, coming to terms on a replacement to the contentious community-development fund.
According to Zober, the mayor, county executive and Penguins' officials are reaching out to corporate leaders, asking them to participate in a state-run program that would provide tax credits to companies in return for their financial contribution to Hill District development. Companies would get tax breaks for any jobs or development they create in the area.
"It's not a development fund, per se," Zober said. "But it's a way to make sure the Hill has the resources it needs."
Both Redwood and Morehouse declined to describe details of the ongoing negotiations, but Redwood says at this point they are just "fine-tuning the language."
As CP went to press, One Hill leaders were voting on whether to take the agreed-upon framework to the larger group for a vote. If both the elected members and the coalition as a whole votes to accept the framework, Redwood said it's possible a tentative community-benefits agreement could be reached in a couple of weeks.
"We've been through optimistic moments and not optimistic moments," Redwood said. "This is a very optimistic moment."

Question from RW - Henry VIII quote on Lincolnshire
I have read so many times that Henry VIII called my home county, Lincolnshire, "the most brutal and beastly in the realm." Did he really? Every book I've seen it in doesn't back it up with a reference, just states it as generally accepted fact.
Also, was it worse than other counties? In what way?
Lara at 8:29 PM
Foose May 02, 2011 10:11 PM
The quote comes from Henry VIII's "answer to the petitions of the traitours and rebelles in Lincolnshire," found in the State Papers. It dates from 1536, when Henry was pretty enraged about the rebellion in the North. The Lincolnshire rebels were demanding an end to the suppression of the religious houses and the persecution of the Church by Henry's unpopular agents and ministers.
The quote actually runs: "How presumptuous then are ye, the rude commons of one shire, and that one of the most brute and beestelie of the hole realme, [emphasis mine] and of leest experience, to fynde faulte with your Prynce, for thelecting [sic, "the electing"] of his Consailleurs and Prelates ..."
Marilyn R May 03, 2011 6:07 AM
During the Lincolnshire Rising in 1536, Thomas Moines, Member of Parliament for Lincoln, was captured by the rebels and forced to serve with them for a few days. When Henry VIII's negative reply to their demands was sent, Moines was forced to read it out in the chapter house of the cathedral. He missed out a sentence he saw as dangerously inflammatory,
'How presumptuous then are ye, the rude commons of one shire, and that one of the most brute and beastly in the whole realm and of least experience.'
After the uprising was quelled most of the gentlemen involved were pardoned, but Moines was hanged, drawn and quartered.
Foose May 05, 2011 9:11 PM
Great detail, Marilyn.
Regarding Lincolnshire's reputation, note that Henry doesn't say "brutal," but rather "brute." I defer to language specialists, but I think that in conjunction with the following adjective, "beastly," Henry was berating Lincolnshire's population for being dumb, simple animals incapable of reason, easily led and culpably driven.
I couldn't find a contemporary source that suggested Lincolnshire had a generally bad or contemptible reputation. Many Tudor servants came from Lincoln and I didn't come across any examples of them being mocked for their origins. One 19th-century source mentioned that the heavy Danish settlement under the Anglo-Saxons may have given Lincoln a certain reputation for coarseness (the author indignantly refuted this slur on the Danes) and another identified the fenlands in Lincoln as traditional nests of insular and retrograde behavior.
One source cited the 1470 Lincolnshire rebellion against Edward IV, and suggested Henry VIII was harking back to that episode in his "answer to the petitions, etc." This suggests that he would have addressed almost any county similarly had it been involved in rebellion against him, since I think most of them must have participated in some kind of uprisings over the centuries. (Even Kent, often presented as the most "civilized" county, took a leading role in the 1381 rising.)
There is one book, however, that might offer more information, although it's not scholarly. It's Anya Seton's Katherine, a generally praised reconstruction of the life of Katherine Swynford in the 14th century. The book features a vivid and unflattering portrayal of Lincolnshire, the home of Katherine's husband Sir Hugh Swynford. I can't find my copy, but I know that the author cited her sources for the book, many of them from the period she described. Possibly there is a source she cited in reference to her portrait of Lincolnshire, that might have fed contemporary prejudice. Perhaps someone could take a look?
Guy May 06, 2011 12:54 PM
L&P, volume XI, number 463 has the original
I found a copy of Katherine at a bookstore and Anya Seton's source on Lincolnshire was Medieval Lincoln by "W.F. Hill." This is a source also used by modern historians. The scholar's name is spelled variously as James WF Hill, J-WF Hill, and J.W.F. Hill. I couldn't find the book under these names on Google Books, but found Medieval Lincoln by Sir Francis Hill, which could be the same author.
The book is available only in Preview on Google Books, so I had limited access. But I didn't come across anything that suggested Lincolnshire had a reputation of brutishness or simple-minded animality. Seton also used sources about life on English manors during medieval times for her background and also visited Kettlethorpe Hall, the modern incarnation of the manor of Katherine's husband Hugh Swynford. She may have touched up her portrait of Lincolnshire life to make it seem as depressing as possible for her heroine after Katherine's sojourn at the Plantagenet court.

John Black Packer (March 21, 1824 – July 7, 1891) was a Republican member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Pennsylvania.

Biography
John B. Packer was born in Sunbury, Pennsylvania on March 21, 1824. Initially a private student, he later attended the Sunbury Academy in Sunbury, Pennsylvania.

From 1839 to 1842, he served with the corps of engineers that was employed by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in the survey and construction of public improvements.

After completed law studies, Packer was admitted to the bar on August 6, 1844, and began his legal practice in Sunbury, where he was also engaged in banking.

Deputy attorney general of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania from 1845 to 1847, he subsequently served in the Pennsylvania State House of Representatives in 1850 and 1851. He also became one of the organizers of the Susquehanna Railroad Company in 1851.

Packer was then elected as a Republican to the forty-first and to the three succeeding Congresses. He served as chairman of the United States House Committee on Railways and Canals during the Forty-second Congress and United States House Committee on Post Office and Post Roads during the Forty-third Congress.

After declining to be a candidate for renomination in 1876, he resumed the practice of law in Sunbury, as well as his banking activities.

He died in Sunbury on July 7, 1891 and was interred at the Pomfret Manor Cemetery in Sunbury.

An X-Ray is an image, on special film, showing the structure of which a focused beam of X-Ray particles are passed through. This gives the familiar black and white images that doctors and dentists use to diagnose problems. X-Rays are a necessary part of the diagnostic process and not to use them could lead to undiagnosed diseases. Without an X-Ray of the whole tooth, and supporting bone and gum tissues, there is no real way to detect infection or pathology that requires attention.
In our office, we use digital radiology which allows us to take X-Rays using 50-70% less radiation than conventional X-Rays. Coupled with computer monitoring, digital X-Ray technology allows us to enhance the images for better diagnosis of any dental concerns.

"The Hunt" is episode 84 of the American television anthology series The Twilight Zone. It originally aired on January 26, 1962 on CBS.
Hyder Simpson lives with his wife and his hound dog, Rip, in the backwoods. Mrs. Simpson does not like having the dog indoors, but Rip saved Hyder's life once, and Hyder won't be parted from him. Mrs. Simpson has seen some bad omens recently and warns Hyder not to go raccoon hunting that night. When Rip dives into a pond after a raccoon, Hyder jumps in after him, but only the raccoon comes up out of the water. Next morning, Hyder and Rip wake up next to the pond. When they return home, Hyder finds that neither his wife, the preacher, nor the neighbors can hear him or see him—they seem to think that he and Rip are deceased.
Walking along the road, he encounters a fence he doesn't recognize, and decides to follow it. Presently, both come to a gate tended by a man. Simpson asks him if he is Saint Peter. Explaining only that he is a gatekeeper, the man explains that Simpson can enter the Elysian Fields (Hell in disguise). Simpson is appreciative, but disheartened to hear that there is no raccoon hunting there, nor are there any of his other usual pleasures. When he is told that Rip can't enter and will be taken elsewhere ("up the road"), he declines and angrily goes on down the "Eternity Road" rather than enter the gate without his beloved dog. Simpson states "Any place that's too high-falutin' for Rip is too fancy for me." Later, after stopping to rest, Simpson and Rip are met by a young angel whose job is to find and bring them to Heaven.

One of my favorite seasons of the year is finally upon us! Truthfully I love every season, but I tend to get most excited for summer and fall. Here in Austin it still feels like summer (with temps in the 80's), but that doesn't mean we can't start adding fall staples to our wardrobes!
I just launched the first round of our fall 2018 collection for my boutique, Sugar & Spice Apparel, so I figured I would share some of my favorite pieces! I've included photos and details of how to style each item. All clothing (unless otherwise stated) can be found on my boutique's website, sugarandspiceapparel.com.
Jean skirts are so versatile and I'm so happy they're back in style. This distressed denim skirt is one of my all-time faves. I knew immediately when they arrived for my boutique that I needed to keep one for myself – there are so many ways to style this skirt and endless tops to pair it with. The photo above is just a simple tee (random find from TJ Maxx for only $10!) that I tied into a knot for a makeshift crop top. Other cute looks include tucking a tee in, pairing with a cropped sweater, or throwing on a bodysuit. Keep scrolling to see this skirt paired with more tops from Sugar & Spice Apparel!
The comfy chic tee is one of my ultimate go-to staples, especially now that I'm self-employed. I am often running errands during the day and definitely don't want to dress up, but also don't want to look like a total mess. These tees are life-savers and can make you look put together even though you're just wearing a t-shirt! This particular tee comes in three different colors – sage (pictured above), burgundy and peach.
The cropped sweater is another one of my go-to fall staples because you can stay warm and comfy, but still look stylish. High-waisted jeans, skirts and leggings are pretty much all I wear during the winter and fall, so cropped sweaters are the perfect top for pairing. This sweater is simple yet chic, so its versatility is something I love! So easy to dress up or down. More cropped sweaters and this denim skirt can also be found on my boutique's website.
I'm obsessed with jumpsuits of any kind, but these bell bottom jumpsuits are super unique. The mustard jumpsuit pictured above was actually part of my boutique's summer collection, but has been my best-selling jumpsuit ever (only one left – size small)! Since it was such a customer-fave, I thought I would include a similar jumpsuit for fall (forest green jumpsuit pictured above). These jumpsuits still show off your figure with their smocked bodice and can be worn in a variety of situations just by pairing different shoes with them. When I was in Europe I paired the mustard jumpsuit with sneakers for touring different cities, but I have also paired these jumpsuits with wedges when I want to dress them up.
Western fashion is such a current trend and I'm totally on board. This button-down top is a twist on a classic western shirt, with modern feminine details of a fitted elastic waist and adjustable tie. Absolutely love this top and it can be paired with almost any style jeans – skinny, distressed, boot cut, bell bottom – you name it. This top is styled in the photo above with the Hit Me With Your Best Shot bells from Sugar & Spice Apparel.
I am completely obsessed with fringe and have been wearing fringe for several years – before it fully came back in style. I remember when I wore a romper with fringe sleeves in 2015 and definitely got some weird looks, but I love pushing fashion boundaries and wearing what I think is stylish, no matter whether or not it's a current trend! This fringe sweater is a cropped style, but not as short as most crop tops. I love how the fringe detail turns a basic sweater into something much more unique. It's paired with the distressed skirt from earlier in this post.
These are just a few of my favorites from the first set of the fall 2018 collection from Sugar & Spice Apparel! Many more are currently up on the website, and you can find all of the new fall arrivals here. More are coming soon, including a cheetah print skirt, black and dark wash denim bell bottoms (our spring/summer light wash went super quick!), colored corduroys and many more sweaters. Stay tuned for our next additions to the fall 2018 collection, which should come at the end of October/beginning of November!

Is it possible to compute the max value of a cube on a not-time entity?
I need to memorize this value inside another cube.
this is only possible using procedure and Export Layout Procedure Step.
This step allows you to define your extract file according to a DataView.
Means you have to define the row Entity, which should be the one where you Need the biggest value of.
Finally you filter your cube for the biggest value.
The extracted File can be reloaded into another cube e.g. by using ASCII Reader.
But using this Suggestion you have to take care, that you extract a file according to one Dimension. When you Need other structure in your target cube you have to build up process to implement the figure into this.
I'll try as you suggest!

Are there any $5 minimum deposit sites ?
Hi, just wondering if there are any good sites out there that have only a $5 minimum to play. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, as I am low on funds but want to keep playing (you never know) ?!
There are, but very few (if any) that I know of support American players. The reason for this is the cost of transacting with Americans is higher due to the difficulty casinos have in dealing with US-based banks and credit card companies.
Obviously, CL-Ed knows a lot more about this than I do, but personally, I have never seen a minimum deposit lower than twenty bucks, and typically I see minimum deposits of like 30 to 35 dollars most places I have played.
One thing I have noticed with the casinos is the completely free chips are disappearing. I used to receive such offers through email AND snail mail, and for about the past year or so the "free" chips are always connected to a deposit match - claim this deposit match, THEN we will give you a "free" ten or twenty dollars.
I was introduced to many online casinos through those free chips, and it was nice to be rewarded with a "freebie,"every once in a while, as I continued playing.
Seems, much like the land casinos around my areas, they are cutting back, OR maybe it is because I am no longer new to them.
One thing I used to do when I couldn't afford to deposit, but I wanted to keep playing, is play the free tournaments so I could keep playing. 3Dice casino has some free tournaments, and I am sure some others do, too.
Among good casinos, Betfred take the minimum deposit of 5 GBP. I assume that it will be $5 if you open your account in USD.
There are quite a few which take the minimum of $10, as I remember.
But, I guess that there are very few providing Match Bonuses. BetFair uniquely provide 100% Match bonuses up to 5~6 GBP, but their minimum deposit is 10 GBP via Skrill. Check this one, too.
I will add some more if I find.
There are a few in the Casino Rewards group of Microgaming casinos that allow deposits for as little as $1. For example, Zodiac casino gives you a 2000% bonus of $20 with a $1 deposit.
But again, that is no help to an American player as they are not allowed.
Yeah, us American players are screwed when it comes to low deposits because of the expensive cost of processing our payments. It likely won't change either, as regulation is s long way off here and the gray market will have a high cost of doing business with us.
I just found that in BetFair, the minimum deposit for credit card is 5 GBP.
I guess that it should be $5 if you open your account in USD.
But, I don't know if there are different minimum deposit policies according to the jurisdictions.

This is a picture of my Oscar. You will notice that my Oscar is shinier than Angelina's. Apparently the academy doesn't make them as well as they do at the store at Madame Tussaud's! They should take lessons.
However, another dream is me giving awards to my favorite actors who should have already gotten them but didn't. Like Val Kilmer for Tombstone.
Okay, he probably wouldn't have been dressed as Doc Holliday and carrying a gun while receiving it but, hey, wouldn't it be awesome!
Here is a picture of Michael T. Weiss. I am giving Michael T. Weiss an Emmy for The Pretender. Okay, he probably would have worn a shirt while I was giving him that Emmy but, again, hey, it's my dream! Yes, it will be awesome when I am at the Oscars.
I was not actually in jail in this project but there was a jail cell there soooo…. Cool place as it also had an airplane set. We were using the hospital set which was cool also.
These are just a few tips my acting teachers, Andrea and Lyle Hill, at Weist Barron Hill taught me.
What does your character want? Do they want information, love, revenge – what do they hope to get from this moment in time.
Where was your character before this moment – did they just have a car accident, just got out of bed, had a great day, got a pay raise at work, got fired from their job, hiding a bloody knife? You can see how that choice will affect your entrance and first line.
Where is the transition and what happens? Problem solved, problem gets worse?
Tag line – create a tag line if you can think of one that adds to the moment. (Don't just say something to do it. It must enhance the moment. Something simple, just a few words.) One time in an audition the reader's last line was "are you crazy or something?" The direction said that the actor should slowly smile. I slowly smiled and then looking straight into the camera said "Or something." Casting laughed really surprised. Apparently although it was a simple tag no one had done that before. Do not underestimate your own originality.
Always memorize your first and last lines so you can speak directly into the camera and they see your eyes.
If you look at all of these things before auditioning you will do something that casting hasn't seen before and it will be original.

Killiecrankie1689.scot
Following the removal of most of the heavyweight historic objections to the plan to dual the A9 road at Killiecrankie battlefield, Transport Scotland is well advanced in its preparations for a Public Local Inquiry.
The Department of Planning and Environmental Appraisal was handed the case in early March and appointed a Reporter, Mr Scott Ferrie, a month later. The legal firm, Morton Fraser, will represent Transport Scotland.
Design consultants, Jacobs, have been busy trying to persuade residents, individuals, academics, history societies and businesses who have submitted objections to withdraw them.
The final scheme for the road project, which Transport Scotland proposed in November 2017, triggered an international storm of protest. The overwhelming bulk of criticism relates to the degradation of the site of the Battle of Killiecrankie, an area which is nominally protected by its inclusion in the Inventory of Historic Battlefields.
Forced into re-examining its proposed scheme, Transport Scotland and design engineers Jacobs, spent most of 2018 arranging multi-disciplinary historical and archaeological investigations in order to plug the gaps in knowledge which both Historic Environment Scotland (HES) and Perth and Kinross Heritage Trust (PKHT) had highlighted.
Armed with those results, Transport Scotland 'refined' the scheme by shrinking the footprint of the earthworks on the battlefield. The Refined Scheme was then re-presented and has essentially been accepted by HES, PKHT and Cairngorms National Park Authority (CNPA) whose aims include the protection of cultural heritage within the park.
Nevertheless HES has not changed its mind about the impact on the battlefield. The Refined Scheme will continue to have a significant adverse impact on the Inventory battlefield plus this version of the scheme will produce a greater sense of severance while the surviving areas of original topography - important for an understanding of the battle - will be obscured. In plain speak, this means that the proposed road will damage the historic environment, be more prominent, change the landscape radically and visually reinforce the splitting of the battlefield in two.
How has Transport Scotland managed to get the statutory consultees to agree to this? Quite simply Transport Scotland moved the goal posts. When the scheme was first presented in November 2017, any person who wished "to express an opinion" was invited to write to Transport Scotland. That allowed unrestricted comment on any aspect of the scheme or its planning. When the Refined Scheme was published a year later, Transport Scotland narrowed the parameters, asking if the refinements were an improvement on the earlier design.
At a stroke, discussion of any dubious decisions that had been taken at earlier stages of planning process was off limits.
KilliecrAnkie1689 is in favour of upgrading the A9 but continues to oppose the Refined Scheme that still lacks proof that it is the best plan for the battlefield. The latest scheme has also generated a host of new problems that the local community dare not ignore.
To find out how we got here and where we could be going, see the Road to Inquiry page. The Objections page, found by clicking on the right, now has links to the withdrawal documents of HES, PKHT and CNPA. Also on the column on the right, under the ARCHIVE label, are all our earlier website pages with maps, the proposed route, the process and the history of the battle.

Sun Youth is in Urgent Need of Food!
Home Assistance Sun Youth is in Urgent Need of Food!
The Christmas Basket distribution at Sun Youth closed 2018 with approximately 4000 families assisted for the Holidays. Each family received a hamper filled with perishable and non perishable food items, hygiene products and a few Holiday surprises. Furthermore some 4000 brand new toys found their way into the hands of children 12 years and under. Once again Sun Youth was able to count on the renewed support and generosity of the public and companies. However, the work is far from over!
For most people, the Holidays are synonymous with vacation. This is not the case for poverty, hunger and social exclusion. Although Sun Youth's first mission to feed thousands of families for the Holiday season was successful, the cold winter months will be very difficult for the organization's food bank, which unfortunately will have a hard time filling the growing needs of its clientele this winter with its current food stocks. Those resources were used to the maximum during the Holidays.
Sun Youth thus invites the Montreal community to continue to be generous, food donations collected at this time of year allowing the organization to support its clientele throughout the year, especially during the winter season. It is essential for Sun Youth to respond adequately to the demand, whatever the time of the year. The organization is therefore looking for donations of non-perishable food, particularly pasta, pasta sauce, rice, legumes, peanut butter and canned fish such as tuna or salmon. Basic food products allow families benefiting from the help of Sun Youth to prepare more meals with the items they receive as emergency food assistance.
Designed to meet emergency needs, the Sun Youth Food Bank helps families or individuals facing difficult situations while also offering monthly food supplements to certain groups including the elderly, pregnant women and people with chronic viral diseases. Sun Youth also has a home delivery service for people with reduced mobility and socially isolated individuals referred by the social services. In total, nearly 28,900 food hampers are provided a year to more than 18,000 people, 39% of whom are children under 18 years of age.
An Evening Full of Love and Warmth for Sun Youth!
Another Successful Holiday Basketball Tournament!
Sun Youth's Bike Man Is No More but His Legacy Lives On!

A round shield can refer to any type of hand-held shield that has a round shape. They come in highly varying sizes, and have, in different forms, been very popular in Europe, the Asia and the Americas, throughout the Bronze Age, the Classical period, the Post-classical period, and the Early Modern period. During the Bronze Age they were generally large and designed for bashing and shield wall tactics (such as Spartan bronze shields), while since the late post-classical they were mostly designed for parrying and riposte (such as the small buckler, supplanted by the heater shield).

Although offering less protection, especially to the legs than the kite shield, the round shield was sometimes used as an offensive weapon. The word "swashbuckler" came from this, as soldiers beat their weapon against the buckler.

List of round shields

Historical
A buckler is a very small round shield popular in the Late Middle Ages and Renaissance.
Scandinavian seafaring warriors of the early medieval period used wooden round shields with centergrips.
Taming, a round shield from the Philippines.
Targe typically referred to a round shield.
The dhal was a round shield in India.
The Romans used the clipeus and parma.

Fictional
Captain America's shield, the primary piece of equipment used defensively and offensively by the comic book superhero Captain America.

Tumbarumba is a beautiful town located on the western side of the Snowy Mountains in New South Wales, approximately half way between Sydney and Melbourne.
Tumbarumba has a rich heritage in gold mining, timber, agriculture and viticulture. The reputation of the established cool climate wines continues to gain momentum, expanding the local wine producing industry. The history of goldmining, timber and cattle, and the cleverly engineered Snowy Mountains Scheme has created an intriguing heritage.
By the 1850s the town of Tumbarumba had been established and gold discoveries led to an influx of population. This made Tumbarumba a town of considerable importance in the mid 1860s. Many people stayed to select land which was available and suitable for agriculture. Gold mining assisted the beginning of the timber industry.
"By the 1850s the town of Tumbarumba had been established and gold discoveries led to an influx of population."
As the gold became more difficult to obtain it was necessary to use fluming to bring water for sluicing. Timber was also used for pit props in the deep-lead tunnels that developed around the turn of the century. The forestry and timber processing industries are key employers with the Hynes Softwood Mill at Tumbarumba being the largest in the southern hemisphere.

Federal Constitutional Republic
Exercises complete control over two states as well as its island territories. Forces loyal to the U.S. government in exile active in most areas controlled by Gilead
The United States of America (USA), commonly known as the United States (U.S.) or America, is a federal republic composed of 50 states that existed before Gilead and the events of the television series/novel. While the novel does not elaborate on the status of the United States beyond it being the precursor to Gilead, the television series establishes that the United States still exists with control of only two states, which are stated or implied to be Alaska (with Anchorage serving as the new but temporary capital)[2] and Hawaii.[3] The US also (reportedly) has control over its island territories e.g. Puerto Rico following Gilead's hostile seizure of the Atlantic and Midwestern states.
Prior to the creation of Gilead, the United States--along with the rest of the world--was experiencing a severe fertility crisis. An indication of the severity of this crisis (at least in the television series) can be seen from the birth of June's daughter, Hannah. When Hannah is taken away for her first bath, a nurse at the hospital reveals that, of all of the other births to occur at the hospital that day, two babies are in intensive care and the rest have died.[2]
As a means of addressing this crisis, the U.S. government enacts several policies, such as making it illegal for a man to undergo a vasectomy,[4] and requiring husbands to formally consent to their wives filling birth control prescriptions[1]. Women's right activists, startled by "increasing, sweeping infringements of human rights"[5], state the country "is going down the tubes" (Offred's mother)[6] blaming the administration to be "growing a mass hysteria to control us and take away our civil liberties"[5].
At some point prior to the events of the novel and television series, a radical Christian movement called the Sons of Jacob formed, mostly in response to the infertility crisis. Their membership began to drastically expand. While the specifications of their theology are obscure, they have a stated goal of reversing infertility through a "return to traditional values." One early member remarks that they have a goal of "cleaning up" the United States. Not long before the creation of Gilead, an early leader of the group mentions in conversation with a recruit that the organization has chapters in thirty states.[7]. Articles in the Boston Globe credit them as "old-fashioned" yet "prominent religious group" that "raises new hopes" in the populace[6]. The group was active on social media; in an interview recording June discovers in the Boston Globe archive, one early convert/recruit says he discovered the Sons of Jacob on Facebook and was attracted to their emphasis on children and family values--or "getting children out of their sinful homes" as he put it.
Sons of Jacob Coup D'état Edit
The Sons of Jacob would eventually instigate a coup d'état against the United States government, approximately three to four years prior to the present-day events of the novel and television series. In the novel, this consists of one attack against all three branches of government. In the television series, three separate attacks are carried out against the President, all members of Congress, and the Justices of the Supreme Court,[8] with the White House and the U.S Capitol being explicitly mentioned as locations for these attacks.[1] The attacks are successful with the President, the line of succession, nearly all of Congress and all nine Supreme Court Justices killed, effectively decapitating the entire United States government. The Sons of Jacob promptly seize control of the United States, and shortly afterward, suspend the U.S. Constitution under the pretext of restoring order to the country.
In the novel, it is mentioned that the Sons of Jacob were able to successfully blame the attack on Islamic fundamentalists[9]. This has not been referenced in the television series yet.
Newspapers are censored or closed down for "security reasons", roadblocks and "Identipasses" begin to appear. Offred refers "everyone approved of that, since it was obvious you couldn't be too careful". Adult services like "Pornomats" vanish (which no one really misses) because "people were complaining". New elections are announced to be held, and that it "would take some time to prepare for them". The regime then freezes the bank accounts of all females and takes away women's civil rights to own property and to hold down a job[9].
In the immediate aftermath of the staged "terrorist" attacks which took down the President, most of the U.S. Congress, and the Supreme Court, the United States immediately entered a period of martial law. During a flashback, June recalls newsreel declaring the National Guard's deployment to most major American cities in the immediate aftermath of the D.C. attacks. By the time the U.S. closes it borders and the new regime begins to implement its policies (stripping women of their property, etc.), Moira mentions that "we've been under martial law since D.C." in reference to the terrorist attacks that wiped out the U.S. government[10], implying that by this time the entire nation had been in a full state of military rule for some time.
Although not directly explained, it would seem that some segments of the U.S. military had either converted to, or will at least able to sympathize somewhat with the beliefs of, the Sons of Jacob movement in its earliest days. This would imply that many of the Sons of Jacob ideas--homophobia, antifeminism, hysteria regarding birth rates, religious fundamentalism, etc.-- already enjoyed some popularity among certain sections of the American population and were readily exploited by the early Sons of Jacob regime. Some articles on "June's clipping wall" seem to backup this version.
An American refugee in Canada, a former U.S. Army soldier, states that "one day they just made us all Guardians," implying that whole units of the U.S. Armed Forces were immediately transferred into ranks of the new regime[6] while the leadership of other units and commands within the U.S. military remain loyal to the United States Constitution [11].
The TV series is never clear about which elements of the U.S. military resisted the rise of Gilead, although by the season one of the TV series the United States of America has been reduced to its two outlying states, namely Alaska and Hawaii. Pockets of resistance loyal to the U.S. Government-in-exile (now based out of Anchorage, Alaska) are scattered throughout the mainland and are fighting back against Gilead with American loyalist forces having firm control of the southern, northern and western portions of the continental United States.
In the era leading up the rise of Gilead, especially in the immediate aftermath of the Sons of Jacob takeover, the United States experiences large amounts of social unrest and backlash towards certain groups in society. The Sons of Jacob regime target the LGBTQ community through "terrorist" attacks and increasingly discriminatory laws against gays and lesbians in society.
For example, Emily (later Ofglen, and recently, Ofjoseph) is encouraged by the board of regents at the university she works at to focus on her research as opposed to lecturing, since they believe her open lesbianism is creating an unhealthy learning environment. A colleague of hers is later found hanged at the university with the word "faggot" being spray painted in front of him.[12] Additionally, laws are enacted that make same-sex marriages illegal and terminates any that exist at that point.[12] Offred/June reads about an "another attack against a gay bar" in her survey of newspaper coverage at the Boston Globe. A war-torn and abandoned small town Luke wanders into is littered with homophobic graffiti.
Women from any and all backgrounds are also targeted by the Sons of Jacob, who enact multiple laws in quick succession that prohibit them from holding any form of employment and freezes their bank accounts, with funds being transferred to the woman's husband or closest male relative.[10] Protests against these measures are met with violent force and open slaughter of the belligerents.[10] Divorce is outlawed. All second marriages are declared "adulterous" by the state and are retroactively deemed unlawful. Gilead quickly implements family laws and social policies that effectively seize children from homes deemed "unfit" and oversees their adoption by "fit" but barren couples, most of which are Sons of Jacob loyalists.
After the takeover, conflict emerges between the Sons of Jacob and the remnants of the United States still under U.S. military protection and/or areas under the control of armed insurgents, i.e. resistance forces loyal to the U.S. government-in-exile. While the full extent of the conflict is unknown in both the novel and television series, known areas of conflict include New York,[7] Florida,[13] Chicago,[2] and South Carolina.[4]
In the television series' continuity, the United States is eventually reduced to just two states, with Anchorage serving as the new capital and a U.S. consulate being established in Toronto, ON, around a growing community of refugees dubbed "Little America."
Geography Edit
The novel does not give any details as to the extent of the United States' territory in the aftermath of the rise of Gilead, or even as to whether the United States continues in any form.
As previously mentioned, the United States in the television series maintains direct control over only two states, with the implication that Gilead nominally controls the other forty-eight. However, pro-US rebel and citizen militia activity continues to occur in Gilead, with fighting occurring in Florida, Texas and around the Blue Hills in Massachusetts. It is mentioned that Gilead's Guardian units are fighting U.S military forces in the remains of Chicago, which suggests that the U.S maintains some presence in parts of Gilead; the extent of this presence is unknown, however.[2] In the Season 2 finale, a map of the continental United States under Gilead rule shows large areas of armed resistance to the regime in the southern United States e.g. Texas, Florida, the Gulf Coast states; the western United States e.g. California, Oregon, Washington state, the northwestern the states along the Canadian border; northern Michigan and a significantly large rebel enclave in New England located around Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, and parts of New York state[14].
Economy Edit
The former United States of America had been the global economic powerhouse until the President's Day Massacre led to a takeover by the Sons of Jacob and subsequent rise of the Republic of Gilead.
Canadian newsreel mentions that Canada's economy is still recovering from a loss of trade with the former United States (its then largest trade partner). At any rate, the collapse of the United States, especially the loss of the U.S. dollar as the world's largest reserve currency, would lead to a major shake-up of the world economy and certainly produce an immediate economic recession and a collapse of the world economy.
Foreign Relations Edit
The extent of the remnant United States' relations with the rest of the world are largely unknown, although the presence of a consulate in Toronto and the acceptance of large numbers of American refugees into Canada, coupled with the apparent reluctance of the Canadian government to even allow Gileadean diplomats into the country, implies that Canada maintains an alliance with what is left of the United States.
Early in Season One, Serena Joy mentions that the United Nations has placed economic sanctions against Gilead and that this U.N. embargo should be lifted as to prevent "the collapse of the Euro," suggesting that the member-nations of the European Union (Germany, France, Italy, etc.) do not have diplomatic relations with, and likely have placed economic sanctions against, Gilead. But German automaker Mercedes-Benz maintains some business ties in supplying vehicles and some auto related companies supplies auto accessory products.
Switzerland maintains Diplomatic ties with Gilead as will be seen in Season 3 Episode 6 as it mediates a child custody issue. Meaning that Switzerland is the only major global economy to maintain full diplomatic and economic ties with the hostile Gilead and possibly acts as a protecting power for the rest of the world.
The United Kingdom maintains some trade and is openly stated to be spearheading the increased sanctions on Gilead.
The Waterfords do host what seem to be relatively low-ranking diplomats from Mexico although Commander Fred Waterford implies that the talks are not going well; he also mentions that Gilead needs to make progress in trade relations to avert a currency collapse.
Beth, a Martha who works at Jezebel's, states to Nick that she has access to vodka "courtesy of our Russian friends," this could be taken to mean that Russia may engage in some type of trade with Gilead and a minor economic power that has a Embassy or Trade Mission, albeit on a very small scale, given the global scale of sanctions against Gilead imposed by the United Nations.
Additionally, it is mentioned in passing in Season Two that Canadian and British troops are beginning to station themselves along the Canadian-Gilead border, which could be taken as indication of a continued American alliance with the United Kingdom[15].
According to Radio Free America, both the People's Republic of China and India have been supporting the Anchorage government in their fight against Gilead with economic aid while the United Kingdom has raised its limit on the amount of American refugees it will accept and extending trade sanctions but not ending all trade, almost all of whom are relocating from Canada.[16]
Military Edit
In the TV series, most of the former U.S. Armed Forces were either destroyed, routed, or reintegrated into Gilead's army as Guardians. In the pilot episode, American soldiers are described as fighting in Chicago. Afterwards, however, all mentions of armed resistance to Gilead has been described as an insurgency.
The American rump state based out of Anchorage has a limited military capacity, and it is known that U.S. Marines are currently guarding the U.S. consulate in Toronto[17].

Otis Brown Elementary
A historical look
Otis Brown Elementary School opened in September 1954. At that time is was called Southwest Ward Elementary School. It was renamed in 1958 after one of the city of Irving's co-founders, Otis Brown. It is located at 2501 Tenth St. Several additions have been made to the school since 1954.
The first principal was Choyce W. Robertson. He was followed by Mr. Pollan, Logan Stollenwerck, Glenn Duggins, Margaret Young, Virginia Lester, Kenneth Wages, Cindy Williams, Dr. Jackie Gorena, Dr. Adam Grinage, and Raymie Ramsey. Jason Barnett is the current principal in 2017.
Otis Brown was born October 6, 1872 in Swan Creek, Ohio. In 1902 he was working as a "rod man" on a survey crew for the Chicago, Rock Island & Gulf Railway. The railroad was surveying the area that was to become Irving as it was planning to construct a rail line between Dallas and Fort Worth.
Another survey crew member, J. O. Schulze, and Mr. Brown purchased around 80 acres of land along the proposed rail line from the Henry Britain family. The two men made some improvements to the land and then sold lots on December 19, 1903 to start the city of Irving. (Below — Photo 1: Rock Island survey crew: J.O. Schulze first on left; Photo 2: Schulze is behind the wheel, Otis Brown is the front passenger and Fred Joffre is in rear; Photo 3: Brown house on O'Connor, c.1905)
Otis met Arnetta* Barcus, a local schoolteacher, in the fall of 1902. Arnetta, or Netta as she was usually called, was living at with the Britain family while teaching school in the nearby community of Kit. Otis and Netta were married on June 24, 1903. They built the first house in the soon-to-be-established city of Irving at 101 South Hastings. In 1905 they built a larger house on Iowa Street (now O'Connor Road). They lived here until 1919. In 1914 Otis Brown became the city's first mayor. (Below — Photo 1: Otis and Netta Barcus Brown; Photo 2: Farm house on Pioneer, left to right are Earle, Stanley, Loyd, Nett and Lynn (front); Photo 3: Brown and Schulze on porch of Brown's first home)
Mr. and Mrs. Brown had five sons. When the youngest son, Lynn, was five years old, Otis decided to move the family out to the country. Mr. Brown started a dairy named Shadylea Farm which was bounded on the south by the Rock Island Railroad tracks, on the west by Story Rd., on the north by Sowers Rd. (now Pioneer Dr.), and on the east by Irby Lane. In 1926 he sold the cows and started a nine hole golf course on the property. Later Otis Brown sold real estate.
The youngest son, Lynn, served as Irving's mayor from 1959-1967.
Otis Brown died in June 28, 1958 and is buried in Oak Grove Memorial Gardens.
On October 4, 2003 a statue of Otis Brown and J. O. Schulze was dedicated in Centennial Park near the present day South Irving Public Library.

ahhhh, I love the smell of statistics in the morning.
"Cry HAVOC and let loose the dogs of statistics!"


They are happy hounds in the kennel, but the real fun is out hunting! Hounds hunt as a pack; each hound lending their best traits makes for great sport. For riders of the field, learning the hounds can add to your enjoyment. You may hear me giving praise to certain hound for finding the line or working particularly hard. When out in the open, you might be able to pick out which hound is in front or singing a particularly beautiful song. And on the way home, you may recognize who is not ready to go in, daydreaming we could stay out hunting into the night!


> 1) Applying the signature and storing the value in the SignatureValue element would either have to have some odd transform, or applying the signature would then break the signature.

> 3) Upgrading the XAdES information would also break the signature.

And to allow this case, it is explicitly stated that a document may contain other signature files, and the name conventions have been added to part 3."

that users have not violated the protected parts.
>It is possible to have additional metadata which may only make sense to the file store. If you sign this metadata, then the store could change it and break it. We have provisions for exactly this in OOXML, and it is needed for several functional reasons. I see it as a benefit if we can maintain as much functional equivalence as possible between ODF and OOXML, and think this is a benefit for everyone. Other people may certainly have other opinions, so I'd like to see what those opinions are.

> This means that the signature file itself cannot be signed any more. Signing that file however may be useful to avoid that the signature itself is modified. What is the reason for this proposed change? If there are no strong reasons for this change, I would continue to allow that the signature may be signed (its a may only - applications are not required to sign this file anyway).

Basically, it puts into standards language the what I suggested in e-mail previously, and specifies the current signature implementation of (IIRC) Open Office as the standard, and adds in the information needed to do XAdES such that everyone can interoperate.
>> The <ds:Signature> element is defined by the [xmldsig-core] specification. A producer may use the XAdES extensions as specified in ETSI TS 101 903 v1.3.2 [XAdES], or later versions of the XAdES specification. Each <ds:Signature> element shall contain an Id attribute specifying a unique value.
>> A <ds:KeyInfo> element, as specified in [xmldsig-core], section 4.4 shall be included. The <ds:KeyInfo> element shall contain an <ds:X509Data> element containing at least an <ds:X509IssuerSerial> element specifying the issuer and serial number of the signing certificate, and an <ds:X509Certificate> element specifying the full signing certificate. Additional <ds:X509Certificate> elements may be placed in the <ds:X509Data>, or may be placed in the <xades:CertificateValues> element of the XAdES <ds:Object>, as defined in [XAdES] section 7.6.1. The additional certificates should represent the entire primary certificate chain used at signing time.
>> 1.    A <ds:Reference> element which refers to a file contained within the package shall have a Type attribute with a value of "http://docs.oasis-open.org/office/v1.1/OS/OpenDocument-v1.1.html";.

The <ds:Reference> URI for an <ds:Object> element shall be considered to be relative to the <ds:Signature> element.
>> 3.    A <ds:Reference> element which refers to the XAdES SignedProperties element (if present) shall be as specified in [XAdES] section 6.3.1.
>> 4.    A <ds:Reference> element with a Type attribute value other than those specified previously should be considered to be external to the package.
>> Any <ds:Reference> elements contained within a <ds:Manifest> element, which is in turn contained within a <ds:Object> element, shall be considered to be implementation specific.
>> The only permitted <ds:Transform> elements which apply to files contained within the archive shall be canonicalization transforms, as specified in [xmldsig-core], section 6.5.

>> 4.    ) If references to validation data are present, the <xades:SigAndRefsTimestamp> element as specified in [XAdES] sections 7.5.1 and 7.5.1.1 shall be used.
>> 5.    There shall be a <ds:Reference> element specifying the digest of the SignedProperties element, as specified in [XAdES], section 6.2.1. This <ds:Reference> element shall be contained within the <ds:SignedInfo> element of the <ds:Signature> element.
>> Oh - as I was reviewing this, I noticed that I forgot to add language to support the XAdES CounterSignature element, which itself contains one or more Signatures, each of which may also have a CounterSignature. We need to make sure that restrictions on the <ds:Signature> element do not preclude using them differently in a CounterSignature.


A scientific bottling process has been designed to minimize oxidation and maximize flavour. A gravity operation avoids using pumping which typically "over" oxidates the wine, thus maintaining all the natural flavours.
The wine is aged up to three years on wood lathes in a temperature and hygrometry controlled cellar.

The Comte De Mazeray workshop bottles and packages the final product to ensure quality.


The Chairperson, Ms Love, started by noting that as of 19h00 the night before, when the committee ended its meeting, there were still four issues that needed finalising. These were agreed to.
The Minister, Mr Hanekom, requested a chance to speak before the Bill was voted on. He thanked the committee for its hard work, noting that in his contact with many Portfolio Committee's, none had worked as hard and in such detail as this committee. He continued by saying that the Department, throughout the deliberations, had tried to make the Bill a workable one, to make it implimentable. He noted that the implementation of the Bill would take time, and needed to be a consultative process involving all parties. The Bill contained no suprises, people would not suddenly have there rights removed. The Minister said that the Bill would require hard work and lots of time. He invited all parties to actively engage and participate in the implementation of the Bill.
A motion of desirability was read.
Mr. Menz (IFP) opposed the desirability of the Bill. He stated that the Minister had promised roll over licenses, which he did not believe were in the final version of the Bill.
Mr. Nel (NP) opposed the desirability of the Bill. He stated that he believed that certain clauses were unconstitutional. His party and himself had sworn to uphold the constitution, and could not therefore support the Bill.
Mr. Grobbler (FF) opposed the desirability of the Bill. He believed too much power was in the hands of the Minister. His party was not against redistribution, just not in this way and not at present.
Mr. Arendse (ANC) stated that the deliberations on the Bill had gone on for many days and many amendments had been proposed. He noted that none of the parties had got from the Bill what was wanted, including the African National Congress. But the African National Congress none the less supported desirability of the Bill.
The vote on desirability was 6 against (Inkhata Freedom Party 1, National Party 4, Freedom Front 1), with 12 for (African National Congress). The motion was carried.
Mr. Menz (IFP), Mr. Grobbler (FF) and two of the National Party walked out. An African National Congress member noted the walk out. Mr. Nel, in response to the statement, stated that they were not negative about the Bill, but could not vote if they saw it to be unconstitutional.
The Chairperson commented that the behaviour of the people who had walked out was very strange. She noted that there were 13 African National Congress members present, which was a committee quorum, so the vote would go ahead even if only African National Congress members remained. She added that the other members could stay in the committee and not vote, as there were other issues. She viewed the walking out as staggering.
Mr. Nel stated that the National Party was not trying to walk out and make a statement, and the action of the group that had left was not an orchestrated walk out. The Bill was voted on, with the African National Congress in favour, and the others parties negative vote noted.
The committee moved on to two briefings. The first dealt with the Agricultural Products Standards Amendment Bill. The Bill had been passed by the National Council of Provinces, with amendments. The Bill would not be completed in this session.
The second briefing was informal, as the Animal Improvement Bill had not been finalised and passed on by the National Council of Provinces. The briefing was given, however, so that members would have an understanding of the issues later.

TMJ After an Auto Accident
Being in a car accident can be very traumatizing, and if you've ever been in an accident before, you know how easily injuries occur. Common injuries from car accidents are normally located in the head and neck, spinal, back, and facial areas of the victim. Common facial injuries include dental damage, cuts and bruises, and even temporomandibular joint, or TMJ, injuries.
What are TMJ's?
TMJ's are the joints that connect your jawbone to your skull. This connection plays an important role in allowing you to eat, speak, and even make facial expressions, and are extremely complex in their make up and structure, making them a difficult injury to treat should they be damaged as a result of an accident.
How It Occurs After A Car Accident
The common causes of TMJ after a car accident is whiplash, as the soft tissues of the temporomandibular joints are not meant to withstand extreme forces. Even if you don't directly hit your jaw, it's possible to suffer damage to those joints. In a similar fashion to other whiplash injuries, TMJ can take a long time to actually present after an accident.
Typical Treatment Options
Thankfully, surgery is a last resort to treat TMJ after a car accident. In fact, there are several non-evasive therapies your orthodontist, like an orthodontist in San Clemente, may choose to prescribe to help alleviate your TMJ symptoms. Massage, ice application directly following the injury to mitigate inflammation, heat application well after the initial injury to help blood circulation to the afflicted area, mouth guards, and orthodontics treatments should the teeth become unaligned as a result of the TMJ injury are all common treatments.
Controversy Surrounding TMJ And Car Accidents
Unfortunately, there are skeptics out there who don't believe that TMJ after a car accident is possible. Instead, they feel that it's merely an opportunity taken on the part of attorneys to obtain more compensation for their clients. However, in just as head, back and neck injuries are common and widely accepted injuries as a result of impacts at velocity, so should TMJ be considered a common and equally traumatizing injury.
Permanent vs. Temporary Injuries And The Courts
If you plan to hire a lawyer because of your TMJ after a car accident, you'll need to have evidence to bolster your claim. Your lawyer will not only need to prove that the other person caused the accident which left you with injuries, but he or she will also need to outline the extent of your injuries — commonly done through dental and medical records.
The Courts will base how much they'll award to a plaintiff on who was at fault and how significant were the damages to the victim in the case. Then there's determining whether or not your TMJ is permanent or temporary. A temporary injury will not result in as high of a settlement as a permanent injury will.
Since TMJ after a car accident isn't as well known as head, back or neck injuries, it's not an easy claim to make and win. As a result, TMJ claims are routinely ignored by insurance companies. Usually, unless there's proven direct impact to your jaw, which results in a break or other trauma, you can expect the insurance company to deny your claim.
Attorneys well versed in TMJ claims can help you fight this uphill battle. Just because you've suffered a less known injury, you should not be disqualified from getting the compensation you deserve.
Thanks to our friends and contributors from John Redmond Orthodontics for their insight into TMJ.

There's a good chance you had a great time, but for most people, thanksgiving is the beginning of the end.
Sure, you get to spend time with family you haven't seen for most of the year, but the feast that feeds you all is also usually the first step towards all that extra weight you'll be dying to lose come New Year's.
If you can already see yourself going down this desperate path, I want to help you out a bit. What you may not have considered is that it's entirely possible to enjoy many of the tasty treats the rest of the holidays will bring your way without gaining 15 pounds by January.
These are three quick strategies to help you keep those holiday pounds off, even if you had an extra-stuffed Thanksgiving.
They actually come right out of my book, The All-Day Fat-Burning Diet. I've poured everything I know about weight loss into this book, and it can help you reset your metabolism in a healthy way to lose up to five pounds per week.
The first thing I want you to understand is that your body has more than enough energy and nutrients right now to function.
With that in mind, what I want to suggest to you is this: you need to work a low-carb day into your week. Despite all the flak that carbs get, I'm actually a huge fan of the right ones.
That said, I'm also a huge fan of cycling your carbs and calories because it's a much more natural way of eating. You don't need three massive square meals a day to properly function. Our paleolithic ancestors certainly didn't, and they stuck around long enough to evolve into us!
Societal norms have made us think that we need to be eating all of the time, but your body could benefit from a bit of rest from digestion here and there. Although some fitness advocates preach that we should be eating five or six times a day, science has proven that this isn't the slightest bit necessary.
Unless you have blood sugar issues, all you're doing is increasing your insulin, which in turn increases inflammation and cortisol in your body, which in turn puts your body into stressed-out, fat-storing mode. It's simply the way our bodies are programmed.
By allowing your diet to accommodate one low-carb day a week, you will essentially be triggering your body to burn more of the stored carbohydrates in your muscles, liver, and fat. Without excess sugar in your body, it will turn to existing fat as its main fuel source.
Simply put, if you had way too much stuffing and pecan pie on Thanksgiving day, your new low-carb day is going to put it to work to get you slim again!
Instead of starchy carbs and fruit, you're going to focus on eating lots of fibrous veggies, healthy fats and clean proteins. Within that selection, there are unlimited numbers of meals and ideas so you won't feel deprived.
In The All-Day Fat-Burning Diet I share a number of these recipes, everything from chicken lettuce wraps to creamy avocado smoothies. There are an unbelievable number of ways to eat well on a low-carb day.
If that seems hard, don't worry, as it's only one day. Anything more than that will actually defeat the purpose.
If you go low-carb for too long, you start to suppress thyroid function, and that's harmful because your thyroid controls your metabolism and you want to keep it elevated. One low-carb day won't hurt, however; it will only help.
This first technique will turn your body into a fat burner instead of a sugar burner!
There's another challenge I have for you, one that's slightly more difficult but also very powerful: I'm going to challenge you to do a 1-day fast.
Fasting is one of the world's oldest traditions; it's been practiced by people of all races and religions for centuries. It makes a lot of sense, as there are so many benefits to fasting, one of the most important being that it will really jump start your fat-loss process.
The day before your fast, have dinner on the earlier side. Your fast will start one hour after that. For example, let's say you finish dinner at 7 pm; your fast begins at 8 pm. Try to turn in by 10pm.
If you wake up the next morning at 8 am, you've already done 12 hours of your fast! You're halfway done!
From there, it's simply a matter of going without food until 3 in the afternoon. If you can do that, you're golden. You will have ushered your body into a very beneficial state for fat burning and hormone regulation.
Although you can't eat, I encourage you to drink as much water and herbal teas as your heart desires. Stay away from everything else, including coffee and supplements; you simply want to give your body a day of rest.
Just like on your low-carb day, this practice is going to force your body to tap into its fat stores for fuel, and though it may take you doing this once or twice to get comfortable with it, you'll start to feel amazing every time you do it.
I personally love fasting because it allows me really clear my head and focus. It's amazing what a distraction food can be sometimes.
The third thing I'd like you to do is really very simple: I want you to move your body more.
This applies to both days, but I'm not suggesting you perform a heavy duty workout. Instead, I want you to do something light, like walking. You won't have enough energy in your reserves to carry out any Rambo-style exercise, so you're going to avoid it altogether.
Your exercise on your low-carb and fasting days could be anything really easy and enjoyable like walking the dogs or taking a bike ride. It's really that easy.
The whole idea is just to stay active. When you do that in conjunction with a fasting or low-carb day, you allow your body to tap even further into its existing energy and fat stores. The result? You burn fat faster, especially if you have a little more of it sitting on your waistline thanks to Thanksgiving dinner.
I guarantee you that these simple techniques will make a significant difference in your weight loss efforts.
Did you enjoy these holiday weight loss tips? If so, you might also like my new book – The All-Day Fat Burning Diet. In it, I show you exactly how to reset your metabolism so you can lose up to 5 pounds per week. Click here to learn more.

The past few years have shaken out a lot of your competition. Are you ready with a plan to take advantage of that fact? The days of spending here and there and hoping for the best are over. If that is your plan, you likely will not survive the coming reshuffle. If you do plan well and only spend on things that bring direct, measurable return, you will be on top when the next upturn takes hold. We know what is working and what is not in today's changing market. Let's sit down and figure out a plan to persevere through to prosperity.
The customers that have been our bread and butter are great aren't they? So let's get more of them! Take a close look at your top customers and then figure out the best way to get to other potential customers just like them. Seems to make sense, but too many times businesses are too busy trying to go after everyone they possibly can. Generating new high profit margin customers that fit your profile of "best customer" is the sure-fire way to grow your business and your brand. Your existing fans and loyal customers are a great way to reach out to others they can influence too. Take full advantage of referrals and reward your top customers, keeping them happy may be critical to your survival.
What Does Well For You?
You have some ideas about what works well for you when it comes to marketing. The best way to be sure that what you think works really does deliver return on investment, is to test and track. Every media channel and method that is used should have a way to be tracked for performance. The way to cut a marketing budget is not to just use an axe, you want to surgically cut out the things that deliver smaller returns and invest that money in the things that have a proven track record or great promise based on defining your target market and ways to reach them.
Use your website to generate more leads for your business.
You can target the keywords that your potential customers use when looking on the web for what you offer. Then your website will stand a chance of getting some traffic. If you optimize your website properly, it should be found when potential customers are searching. Your advertising and salespeople can publicize your website, but internet marketing can be the primary way new leads are generated. If your website is not driving new business to your company, why do you have it? Many companies have had their first website maybe done by a friend, then they had their site redone by a "professional" website designer the second time, and now the website still is not generating any business! As a full service Orlando marketing company we are interested in how your site performs and how we can deliver more qualified leads to your business. THAT is the primary purpose of a website for most businesses. Contact our marketing and website design experts next time, and start generating new business.
We want to help clients improve their business, that doesn't always mean huge ad budgets and grandious plans. Sometimes it just means a few organizational meetings and then implementing the defined steps. As you can see from our recent assignments, we don't need to score a financial homerun for BrandTastic every time at bat as long as our clients hit it out of the park! Good solid advice that is put to use can be enough for solid improvements in the bottom line.
