Skeletal remains found last month by a work crew clearing brush along a Pasadena hillside are believed to be those of a young man, coroner's officials said Friday.
The identity of the man whose remains were found May 22 along Linda Vista Avenue, just south of Fern Drive, remained a mystery, Los Angeles County Department of Coroner Chief of Operations Craig Harvey said. He was listed at the coroner's office as John Doe 145.
Following examination of the skeleton by an anthropologist, "He's believed to be a male Hispanic, 18 to 25, 5 feet 8 inches or so tall," Winter said.
An official cause of death had not been determined, Harvey said.
But investigators did note some clues regarding how the man may have died.
A rusted shotgun was recovered from the same portion of the hillside as the skeletal remains, Harvey said.
The skull appeared to have been shattered, as if from a gunshot, he said. "The skull shows the effects of what appears to be a firearm discharge."
A wallet was found among the bones, but it contained no identification, Harvey said. It did contain $22 in cash, a lighter and several receipts. Further details regarding the receipts were not available.
The bones were already partially bleached when discovered by a Caltrans crew clearing brush from the hillside shortly after 1 p.m. May 22, according to coroner's and Pasadena police officials.
They had been scattered over a 75-foot-diameter area of the hillside by animal activity, and possibly by the work crew as they cleared brush prior to discovering the remains, Harvey said.
It was not clear exactly how long the bones had been there prior to being found, Harvey said, however investigators noted the same hillside was cleared by workers one year prior.
The remains were found on a hillside just north of the Arroyo Seco, which officials and nearby residents said is a popular camping spot for transients.

It is an especially alarming event to receive a Notice of Intent to Deny (NOID) when applying for a visa or permanent residence. If you happen to be an employee waiting for a pending employment-based immigrant or nonimmigrant visa, it may feel like your opportunity will slip away. As an employer, if you receive a NOID on a petition filed for a potential employee, you may be wondering if you will have to begin the search for a suitable employee all over again.
It is important to note, however, that receiving a NOID does not necessarily mean that your petition for the visa petition is hopeless. It is possible to respond successfully to a Notice of Intent to Deny and to ultimately receive the visa that the applicant is seeking.

Itinerary for our Private Tel Aviv Day Tour
We'll meet in the old city of Jaffa (or Yafo), which for centuries was the only existing port in the area. With our local expert, we'll discuss the historical importance of the port, and examine the Ottoman architecture and ancient religious sites in the area. Our route will wind its way through narrow cobblestone pathways and a flea market as we discuss the importance of Jaffa to the story of Israel, both in trade and immigration. We'll continue our journey through history as we move north to the first neighborhoods created outside of Jaffa in the 19th century, such as Neve Tzedek and later, Tel Aviv itself. We'll discover the wide-ranging architectural styles of the city as we follow the Independence Walk and stroll down Rothschild Boulevard. This is the perfect time to discuss the growth of Tel Aviv (and the subsequent demise of Jaffa) from 1909 onwards, noting the heavy European influence and the Bauhaus architecture (today a UNESCO World Heritage Site). At a fitting point in our day, we'll stop for a local lunch (at own expense), using the time to talk about a variety of topics, such as classic Israeli gastronomy or Tel Aviv's emergence as a center of Israeli art and culture.
As we finish our time together, we will emerge with a comprehensive understanding of Tel Aviv's (and Jaffa's) long-standing narrative. From the days of the Jaffa orange trade to the current skyscraper-laden landscape, the area has seen vast technological, cultural, and political transformation over the centuries. Our expert guide will bring that rich history to life, leaving us with a true orientation to both the historical and contemporary city.

Q: IR2110 incorrect output waveform from input waveform I have a problem that is bothering me for weeks, after frying a couple of MOSFETs and (expensive) IR2110 ICs, I still have no clue. Note that I am still a beginner when it comes to this.
The project I am working on is as follows: I need to drive 40A brushed (cordless drill) motors for my robot at high torque, both directions. Therefore I came up with a dual fullbridge (H-bridge) circuit. One H-bridge for each motor, therefore 8 N-Channel MOSFETs in total, where 4 are on the highside. Whenever I tried to drive the motor it started to whine with the frequency I was switching it, it didn't move at all.
Half of the circuit circuit as follows:
The problem I am getting is that the HO waveform is not as the input HI waveform.
The yellow trace is: signal in high fet(HI)
The teal trace is: signal out hight fet(HO)
The purple trace is: bootstrap voltage (VB)
The blue trace is: source voltage (VS)
ALL IN REFERENCE TO COM(GND)
I hope someone can identify the problem, I've tried several drivers, the IR2110, the IR2113, same problem. Atleast a couple of hints or tips where I should look will be a huge help. Thanks in advance.
Kind regards.

A: I can see that you have added resistors between G an S of each of the MOSFETs. This is fine to prevent any "floating" situation in case a solder joint is wrong in production for instance. But you have put 1 k\$\Omega\$ which is way too low! As as the upper section of the 2110 wants to drive the upper FET on, the 0.1-µF bootstrap capacitor is almost immediately drained by the 1-k resistor and it is very likely the MOSFET is linearly biased with all due consequences. Please safely increase all these G-S resistances to 47 k\$\Omega\$ or even 100 k\$\Omega\$  and you will have eliminated one of the possible reasons it does not work.
I don't know what voltages are at stake here but a 1N5817 for a bootstrap diode is a fairly low voltage diode (20 V). Make sure its BV is large enough to accept the blocking voltage at turn off otherwise it is an obvious source of failure. For spurious noise reasons, you can add a 10-\$\Omega\$ resistance in series wit this diode to limit the potentially-large current spike when refuelling the cap.
Finally, I would also recommend to add a resistance in // with each of the low-side FETs so that at power on (before the 2110 switches), the bootstrap cap has already a dc path to charge. Select an adequate time constant between the 0.1-µF cap and this resistance to keep power dissipation at the lowest. Hope this helps!

DIRCO Condemns Killing of Al Jazeera Journalist, Shireen Abu Akleh
Children take part in a candlelight vigil to condemn the killing of veteran Al-Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, in Gaza City, Al-Jazeera said Abu Akleh, 51, a prominent figure in the channel's Arabic news service was shot dead by Israeli troops early on May 11, 2022 as she covered a raid on Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank. (Photo by Mahmoud Issa / SOPA Images/Sipa USA)
South Africa's Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO) has condemned in the strongest possible terms the killing of Al Jazeera journalist, Shireen Abu Akleh (51), allegedly by the Israeli Defence Force on Wednesday.
The Palestinian-American correspondent was shot in the head while on assignment in Jenin, covering Israeli raids on Jenin in the occupied West Bank. Another Al Jazeera journalist, Ali Samoudi, was also wounded after being shot in the back.
According to the Qatar-based Al Jazeera, Shireen was wearing a flak jacket which clearly displayed the word "press" when she was shot "in cold blood" by the Israeli troops.
The BBC says the killing comes "amid a surge in violence between Israel and the Palestinians". According to Reuters, she was covering the latest arrest operation launched by Israeli military amid "deadly Arab attacks in Israel".
Israel said it's launching an investigation to determine who killed her.
Reuters said: "In an Al Jazeera video captured in the moments around Abu Akleh's killing, gunfire can be heard in the first few seconds before a man yells "Shireen! Shireen! Ambulance!"
"The camera then moves around the corner to show Abu Akleh slumped face-forward on the ground. Other journalists are seen rushing to take cover."
The Director-General of DIRCO, Zane Dangor, said the targeting of journalists in the occupied territories, and in conflict zones like Ukraine and Afghanistan, appears to be part of a pattern of silencing the free press, and is an outright contravention of international law.
"In a situation of occupation, protest action is one of the few ways in which Palestinians can make their voices heard. International human rights law obligates the occupying power to allow for the freedom of expression and protests.
"In other conflict zones, civilians and other non-combatants must be protected in keeping with the Principle of Distinction and other protective measures of the Geneva Conventions," Dangor said.
The Director-General said the ability of journalists to cover events as they take place is essential, and efforts to efforts to intimidate and assassinate members of the media cannot be allowed to continue with impunity.
Abu Akleh had been covering Palestinian affairs and the Middle East for over two decades. Her burial will take place on Saturday.

Ghyah-Chāku Salhu (Nepali: माघ संक्रान्ति [/ģĥjɔ-ʧɑkʊ. sɜlhʊ/] Nepal Bhasa: घ्यो-चाकु सल्हु) is celebrated on the first of Māgha (mid-January). In Nepal Bhāsā, Salhu typifies the first day of month, and what make the beginning of this month so special than other months every year are the festivity part as well as the marking of warmer weather – the gradual increase in the length of day and shortness in night. The day also marks the shift of the sun into Makara rāshi (Capricorn) on its astronomic path. So, it is also known as Makara Sankrānti.

Q: Save the view of a UIScrollView I am building an app where part of it allows you to scroll through different images to overlay. I have a segmented control to make a sort of layering system where each segment allows you to scroll through the images again and build up layers. For some reason first image always sticks and when I return to a layer, the view is reset to its original position but also saves the last position?
Here is my code.
- (void)layerControl
{
UIScrollView *scroll = [[UIScrollView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.width, self.view.frame.size.height)];
scroll.pagingEnabled = YES;
NSInteger viewCount = 8;
for (int i = 0; i < viewCount; i++) {
    CGFloat yOrigin = i * self.view.frame.size.width;
    UIImageView *filterViewOverlay = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(yOrigin, 0, self.view.frame.size.width, self.view.frame.size.height)];
    [filterViewOverlay setImage:[filterManager objectAtIndex:i]];
    [scroll addSubview:filterViewOverlay];
    //[filterViewOverlay release];
}
scroll.contentSize = CGSizeMake(self.view.frame.size.width * viewCount, self.view.frame.size.height);
[self.view addSubview:scroll];
[scroll autorelease];

//Determine the current filter in view of the scroll view
CGFloat pageWidth = scroll.frame.size.width;
int cFilter = floor((scroll.contentOffset.x - pageWidth / 2) / pageWidth) + 1;
currentFilter = cFilter;

}

//Method to add a filter to the page
- (void)addFilter:(id)sender
{
UISegmentedControl *filterController = (UISegmentedControl *)sender;

switch ([filterController selectedSegmentIndex])
{
    case 0: self.layerControl;

    case 1: self.layerControl;

    case 2: self.layerControl;

    case 3: self.layerControl;

    case 4: self.layerControl;

    case 5: self.layerControl;

    default: NULL;
}
}

A: It looks like maybe every time you call self.layerControl you are creating a new UIScrollView on the view.
So the old one is still there and in the old position, but you've added another one.
Perhaps store a reference to each UIScrollView and at the beginning of layerControl grab the scrollview for the given index.
So:
- (void)layerControl:(NSInteger)index {
   UIScrollView *scrollView = nil;
   switch (index) {
      case (0): scrollView = self.scrollView1;
      /* Repeat for 1 - 6 */
   }

   if (scrollView == nil) {
      // Do the creation of the scrollview here
   }

Then in your addFilter method call:
[self layerControl:[filterController selectedSegmentIndex]]

rather than the big switch statement.
As an aside, it's not a great idea to call methods with dot syntax like you have with all those self.layerControl calls.
You should leave dot syntax for times when you're accessing a synthesized property.

Niceville shopping fixture will shut down this summer
DUSTY RICKETTS / Daily News
NICEVILLE � Kmart officials have confirmed that the Niceville department store will close this summer.
Howard Riefs, director of corporate communications for Sears Holdings, Kmart�s parent company, confirmed Monday morning that the Niceville Kmart will close in mid-July, with a liquidation sale starting May 15.
�Store closures are part of a series of actions we�re taking to reduce ongoing expenses, adjust our asset base, and accelerate the transformation of our business model,� Riefs wrote in an email. �These actions will better enable us to focus our investments on serving our customers and members through integrated retail � at the store, online and in the home.�
The 87,000-square-foot Kmart opened in late 1988 as the anchor of the Oak Creek Shopping Center.
Riefs wrote that the store currently has 59 employees, with most of them being part-time. He added that associates that are eligible will receive a severance and have the opportunity to apply for open positions at area Sears or Kmart stores.
Longtime Niceville Mayor Randall Wise was disappointed by the news.
�It�s going to hurt,� Wise said. �That store had just about anything you wanted except for a good line of food. Anything. I still shop there and I hate to see it close.�
Tresa Mashburn, who worked at the Kmart for more than 13 years and now owns the Pennzoil Lubrication Center near the department store, is concerned the store�s closure will negatively impact her business. But more than that, she�s concerned for her former co-workers.
�Kmart was everybody�s place-to-go store; it�s an in-and-out store,� Mashburn said. �It bothers me because a lot of co-workers used to work there and now they�re gone. They had to be let go.�
Niceville resident and occasional Kmart shopper Becky L�Orange said she�s noticed the store�s parking lot traffic has decreased dramatically since the Walmart Supercenter opened virtually next door in January 2011. She said she was not happy to see the store close.
�It just gives us one less choice and I hate that,� L�Orange said. �Everything affects you. When you lose a business, it affects your city.�
Riefs wrote that although stores are closed on an occasional basis, no other Kmart stores in Northwest Florida would be affected and the Fort Walton Beach and Milton locations would remain open.

Fake history films – 'the new threat to truth' as this recent article in the Guardian postulated. Wow! The truth is all history films are fake. There's just no way the past can be replicated in any way or form. The closest one would see to the truth might be news reels and documentaries filmed in the earliest days of the 20th Century. Even when one splices these news reels together it only gives a one sided view of things. Even some of these documentaries were fakes as we will see later. Going back further in time than this that happens to be even more of a problem because, well, they didnt have cameras or movies in those days!
There is no absolute truth to the past, we can make what we want of it therefore our histories are mostly constructed. Everything is a hatchet job. One could say World War Two was basically UK, France, USA, Russia against Germany, Japan, and the Germans and Japanese lost out – but such a compressed assertion of WWII is nothing more than a mere passing of the truth.
Even the most historically accurate moves are anything but. In Lawrence of Arabia the Turkish Bey and Sherif Ali (and others) are fictionalised characters meant to give more interest. No-one can deny that Sherif Ali's entrance as he looms out of the misty haze is extremely dramatic but the guy doesn't even exist!
Our Thomas with Sherif Ali – a guy who did not exist in Lawrence's day.
As Simon Jenkins notes, historians have peddled Richard III in an unfavourable light for centuries. In Laurence Olivier's Richard III (1955) we can at least accept its Shakespearean interpretation of the maligned King's life is somewhat acceptable, despite being allegedly 'far too camp and stagey' and 'an exaggeration of a distortion that gets us no closer to the truth.' Guardian.
When it comes to the final scenes in Olivier's film, one's certain to be outraged. Its battle scenes show fake movies at their very worst. If you've been to Sutton Cheney or Ambion Hill wher the famous battle took place, you'll know its gently rolling and green English hills – yet the film depicts the famous battlefield with mountains clearly visible! The critics of the time slated Olivier's film for this huge gross historical inaccuracy.
Olivier's Richard III at the start of the historic Battle of Bosworth – but is that really Leicestershire?
At least the later Richard III film with Ian McKellen in the lead, its made out to be nothing more than historical fantasy. Thus one knows they are not being duped in any way. The film for starts is featured as being in a quasi World War Two setting and its final battle scenes happen to take place in what are the ruins of Battersea Power station transposed to 'Kent.' Perhaps it somehow took inspiration from Olivier's production which filmed its battle scenes in Spain.
WWII bomber coming after Richard III at the 'Battle of Battersea' in the McKellen production of 1995.
The earliest war movies were meant to be actual documentaries but their crews did not want to be filming real wars because it was considerably difficult, there was the risk of injury or worse, and also because it wasn't quite so interesting as others had found. In fact those who attempted to record wars found them somewhat lacking in excitement and the first documentaries were a bit of a let down. As this Smithsonian article tells us, the early documentary film makers found that by way of dictating and controlling the content, these fake war films became far more interesting documentaries and movie goers thought they were the real truth!
Creativity is the problem! How much do you hack out, how much do you edit to make it look interesting. And will it be a good representation of what is the truth when you have finished it?
Exactly! But in turn the available facts are themselves manipulated. F for Fake.
Wells then presents another story in the film which he elaborates on before admitting to the audience… 'I have been lying for seventeen minutes.' All these different narratives, whether they are true or not, are about convincing the viewer its not easy to know the truth. This is something that is still done to this day. All the movies we get to see are attempts to convince us of something – no matter how true or how fake it may be.
Yikes! That's gotta be George Galloway!
That's it exactly. But Wells' attempt didnt sit well with the movie goer and 'F for Fake' practically flopped. People want to be entertained and if its a very inaccurate film but still greatly entertaining, then this is all that matters. F for Fake tried to be too many things and it just didnt work.
When someone puts a series of smartphone clips on You Tube, Twitter, Facebook showing a particular event, others come up with their own clips showing alternative perspectives of the events. Each side does battle because one wants to own the truth and show the other as a liar. The problem is not that there's one correct truth, its that both sides want a certain truth to be shown and again this constructs a rather incorrect view of reality.
One of the replies in today's Guardian (29/01/2019) to Simon Jenkins' article on fake films.
The above reply is spot on about several things – however I wouldn't go as far to claim journalism isn't fake in terms of making movies. A lot of journalism is based on a perceived truth and there's just no way there can be an absolute truth. Journalists do make films and they want to capture peoples' attention so there is without doubt some degree of manipulation, especially those examples cited by the Smithsonian.
In our attempts to make history more accurate we still end up with a less than truthful representation and its still difficult to even tell where the truth ends and the lies start. Its up to us to decide what is fake and what isn't, and both are pretty well down to how each of us interprets things in our own ways.
Some say as long as a movie engages people in a particular subject and its viewers are able to question a film's validity, it becomes an ongoing work of deconstructing the film in order to find these truths – and if there aren't any, to acknowledge it a fake.

Glamour Vérité—Paris/Hollywood: Cinema's Pour Vous Magazine, 1928–1940
Feb 6–Aug 25, 2013
MoMA, Floor T1, Theater 1 Gallery Theater 1 Gallery
For over 100 years, glamour and celebrity have been used to promote film in countless fan magazines around the world. Singular among them was Pour Vous, published weekly in France from the arrival of sound film in 1928 to the start of the Second World War. An offshoot of the conservative daily newspaper L'Intransigeant (1880–1940), its tabloid size, bold use of photography, and broad-ranging editorial content significantly distinguished it from counterparts in the United States. While Pour Vous aggressively embraced the American star system, it also offered alternative images of race and gender, glimpses of a developing world cinema, and considerations of film history and aesthetics that anticipated ways of thinking about the moving image that later blossomed in postwar France of the 1940s and 1950s. This exhibition includes over 100 star-studded Pour Vous covers and spreads, all drawn from the Department of Film collection, that document an overlooked chapter of cinema history.

Ignores the whole patch connected to the In, when Enb is 0.
It's like a variable, but when the 'Enb' is in off state, the node breaks the connection between the nodes connected to the 'In' input, and the plug-in will stop processing them.
Use this node with care. It has a unique color, because this process can lead to strange behavior. If you don't know what it does exactly, do not use it.
Enb: Enable (nonzero = on, 0 = off).

Its a bit funny, considering how much I love costume and dressing up and all, how much I always disliked Halloween. Even as a child, I felt strange doing the rounds, beggin complete strangers for candy. Of course, I loved the candy. So I always did it. But it seemed somewhat rude.
I always had funny costumes, maybe I was just a strange child. One of my favorites (I think it appeared more than once) was a "bow girl" - a costume invented by my mom in which I covered my dress with little safety pin bows, which I then handed out to people. So random.
Anyway, this year, I plan to join in the "Bloglandia" Halloween celebration - no begging involved! You can join in the fun as well - go here to learn all about it!
Cute costume!! Cute idea, especially for someone who wasn't into halloween!!! I loved doing this as a kid but I've never been great with dressing up in costume as an adult.
oh my you are cute here - will you be bow-ing at the Ball?

Review: Medici's Daughter by Sophie Perinot
Winter, 1564. Beautiful young Princess Margot is summoned to the court of France, where nothing is what it seems and a wrong word can lead to ruin. Known across Europe as Madame la Serpente, Margot's intimidating mother, Queen Catherine de Médicis, is a powerful force in a country devastated by religious war. Among the crafty nobility of the royal court, Margot learns the intriguing and unspoken rules she must live by to please her poisonous family.
Eager to be an obedient daughter, Margot accepts her role as a marriage pawn, even as she is charmed by the powerful, charismatic Duc de Guise. Though Margot's heart belongs to Guise, her hand will be offered to Henri of Navarre, a Huguenot leader and a notorious heretic looking to seal a tenuous truce. But the promised peace is a mirage: her mother's schemes are endless, and her brothers plot vengeance in the streets of Paris. When Margot's wedding devolves into the bloodshed of the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre, she will be forced to choose between her family and her soul.
Médicis Daughter is historical fiction at its finest, weaving a unique coming-of-age story and a forbidden love with one of the most dramatic and violent events in French history.

This is my second book by Sophie Perinot, the first being her debut The Sisters Queen (which I really enjoyed). I know that I have said this many times, most of my reading of HF takes place outside of France England. There seems to be more of an increase these days in books involving the French - or maybe I am just noticing that trend. With books like Medicis Daughter it is difficult not to take notice of the vast and wonderful history that country has to offer.
Introduced when Marguerite (Margot/Margaret) is young it was her desire to please her mother which is no easy feat when mom happens to be Catherine de Medici. Told in first person the author made me connect with Margot. It wasn't hard to feel the struggles she faced at court, how she was used and gossiped about. First person narrative has always been a favorite of mine, getting inside the head of the character, feeling their emotions, when done right there is depth bringing much to the story. I was not disappointed at all, Sophie Perinot writes with rich details, her descriptions made it so easy to visualize what was taking place - I was totally absorbed in her story. It didn't take long to comprehend the amount of research that went into Medicis Daughter, as well at the authors passion for the time period.
There is more to this story than Margot's relationship with her mother, her brother is King Charles and another one Anjou. This is a story about a love that is forbidden, made all the harder when all eyes seem to be watching every move you make. I can't imagine the frustration of growing up and knowing your life is not your own, but watching Margot mature and coming to grips with life at court was an interesting process and one I enjoyed tremedously. It's about discovering herself, though a political pawn in the hands of family.
All in all a great book that will appeal to those interested in HF taking place in France, those that love the political ambitions of the de Medicis, those that like relatively unknowns and those that just want a book to get lost in, trust me you won't be disappointed..
SOPHIE PERINOT is the author of The Sister Queens and one of six contributing authors of A Day of Fire: A Novel of Pompeii. A former attorney, Perinot is now a full-time writer. She lives in Great Falls, Virginia with her three children, three cats, one dog and one husband.
An active member of the Historical Novel Society, Sophie has attended all of the group's North American Conferences and served as a panelist multiple times.

"This is Renaissance France meets Game of Thrones: dark, sumptuous historical fiction that coils religious strife, court intrigue, passionate love, family hatred, and betrayed innocence like a nest of poisonous snakes. Beautiful Princess Margot acts as our guide to the heart of her violent family, as she blossoms from naive court pawn to woman of conscience and renown. A highly recommended coming-of-age tale where the princess learns to slay her own dragons!" –Kate Quinn, Bestselling author of LADY OF THE ETERNAL CITY
"The riveting story of a 16th century French princess caught in the throes of royal intrigue and religious war. From the arms of the charismatic Duke of Guise to the blood-soaked streets of Paris, Princess Marguerite runs a dangerous gauntlet, taking the reader with her. An absolutely gripping read!" –Michelle Moran, bestselling author of THE REBEL QUEEN
"Rising above the chorus of historical drama is Perinot's epic tale of the fascinating, lascivious, ruthless House of Valois, as told through the eyes of the complicated and intelligent Princess Marguerite. Burdened by her unscrupulous family and desperate for meaningful relationships, Margot is forced to navigate her own path in sixteenth century France. Amid wars of nation and heart, Médicis Daughter brilliantly demonstrates how one unique woman beats staggering odds to find the strength and power that is her birthright." –Erika Robuck, bestselling author of HEMINGWAY'S GIRL

5 Wellness Rules Japanese Women Live By
August 17, 2020 by Bed Threads
Japanese women are some of the healthiest people on earth. It comes down to a few things, with geographic isolation and universal health care among them, but there are certain cultural habits that are undeniably tied to the long life expectancy and overall physical health shared by Japanese women, more than Japanese men.
From a diet centred on diversity and balance to the wellness-led interior design approach that aims to create zen through simplicity, here are five wellness rules Japanese women live by.
Drink green tea
This Japanese pantry staple loaded with antioxidants and flavonoids, with five times more Vitamin C than a lemon. Green tea has been suggested to help to improve brain function and assist with fat burning. If you're a coffee addict, caffeinated green tea is a healthier alternative—or, get yourself some decaf green tea for a cleansing evening sip.
Eat a diverse diet
Japanese women have the world's longest average life expectancy, with experts pointing to a healthy diet as the key reason. This means a highly diverse daily food intake (at least 30 different foods each day) and very little processed foods. Smaller portions and lighter cooking methods (such as steaming and simmering, rather than frying and roasting) are also trademarks of the traditional Japanese diet and will help you become more nutrient focussed in your eating.
Take an onsen
Bathing in a mineral-rich natural hot spring for 10 to 30 minutes a day has been proven to improve blood circulation and increase metabolism and has been practiced for hundreds of years. Benefits are not just physical but also mental, allowing time away from screens to reflect and recharge. Minerals such as calcium, sodium bicarbonate, sulfur, and iron are absorbed through the skin during onsen, but if you don't have easy access to your own natural hot spring there's a way to DIY at home by using Japanese bath salts in your bathtub.
Practice kanso
You've heard of feng shui, but what about kanso? This Japanese interior design concept is one of the seven pillars of wabi-sabi, and it's essentially mindfulness for your furniture. It's similar to the Chinese concept of feng shui, but more reminiscent of Marie Kondo's method. Kanso is all about simplicity: look around you and identify only the things that you need. Now, get rid of the rest. Easier said than done, of course, but it's a good place to start if you're aiming for a state of zen.
While K-Beauty is focussed on cutting edge innovation, J-Beauty is all about simple beauty products done perfectly. The goal of J-Beauty is healthy skin that needs very little makeup if any, and Japanese beauty products are famed for the level of research and development that goes into making them.
Speaking of healthy skin, we asked our resident dietitians what to eat to get that healthy glow and here's what they said.

The trip was two steps above spectacular!!
Querida Violetta, ya ha transcurrido casi un mes de desde que salimos como novios desde tu bella casa en la Toscana rumbo al Castillo de Olivetto para convertirnos en marido y mujer, quisiéramos agradecerte y felicitarte, porque hiciste que nuestro sueño de casarnos en Italia se transformará en una preciosa realidad, gracias por cada detalle perfectamente trabajado, por todas tus atenciones, sinceramente nos hiciste sentir la magia de Toscana y muy acogidos en tu hogar. Podemos recomendar a cualquier pareja extranjera que este pensado en hacer algo diferente a la hora de casarse, no dude en contratar tus servicios pues les garantizo que se sentirán satisfechos y escuchados en sus requerimiento, puesto que con nosotros superaste con creces nuestras expectativas y hemos retornado a Chile felizmente casados. Además gracias al apostillamiento validamos sin inconvenientes nuestro matrimonio en nuestro país. Te enviamos un enorme abrazo desde el fin del mundo y te deseamos lo mejor en tus proyectos. Con afecto sincero.
Dear Violetta, Come sta? I enjoyed meeting you very much. Thank you, again, for the lovely dinner and evening at your home – and for the walking tour. It was fun being with you, and you gave me a wonderful introduction to Florence's art and culture. There are so many sights, sounds, and experiences to treasure from my trip. I hope we'll meet again. All the best to you.
Violetta You did a great job. I know this group grew very quickly…it was our largest group to travel internationally. Thank you for all your hard work as well. I have only heard great things from everyone's time in Italy.
Good morning Violetta, Well we are back to our routines and continuing to reminisce about our wonderful visit. Rome was terrific, the hotel very nice and of course the location was unbeatable. The highlight of the Rome visit was the Borghese Villa and Museum and, next to reuniting with you and the seeing the Tuscan countryside, would be the highlight of the trip for Margaret and I. The weather was very cooperative and we toured the coliseum on Tuesday morning and we visited the Pantheon several time since we were so close, Trevi and The Spanish Steps, made good use of our time. Thank you so much for your hospitality in your home, your help with planning the entire trip, and you graciousness as we toured your beautiful Tuscany. We look forward to another visit in the future.
Merci Violeta pour le temps que tu nous a consacré durant ce merveilleux weekend à Florence. J'ai adoré cette ville et j'espère d'y revenir pour voir plus encore. Il faut avouer que trois jours n'est pas assez et que la dolce vita italienne si douce et agréable incite à y penser.Magnifique hôtel en plein centre, promenades hors sentiers battus, je recommande !!
We had a wonderful time today. Thank you. It was great to see you. Hope it is not so long till we see you again. It would be great to have more time to catch up. Next time we would like to go into the Medici chapels. We went in today but it is not the same without an expert guide. I will write you a review on LinkedIn when I get home.
Je reviens d'un séjour que je qualifie d'enchanteur à tous niveaux !
Exzellent! Komme gerne wieder! Wir waren außerordentlich zufrieden mit unserer Unterkunft in der Nähe von Florenz. Die Fotos entsprechen der Realität, die Wohnung ist sehr sauber, schön eingerichtet im landestypischen Stil, befindet sich in einer sicheren Gegend, großer Parkplatz vor dem Haus vorhanden, WLAN einwandfrei, große Sonnenterrasse mit Blick auf Florenz (!). Sehr hilfsbereite Vermieterin, die sich um alle Belange kümmert. Wir haben unseren Urlaub sehr genossen und kommen gerne wieder! Danke, Violetta!
Even better than we expected.
We loved our stay in Violetta's centuries old Tuscany Country House. It was even better than we could have imagined. We loved hiking around the property and had never been in an Olive Grove. The house itself was as charming as the outside views. The thick stone walls, unusual ceilings, and the shuttered windows captivated us and the updated bathroom and kitchen were enough to convince us we want to return someday. We had rented a car in Florence and fell in love with the countryside as we followed Violetta's directions to the home. Guests should realize that the narrow road leading to this property is a two-way road. Violetta had given us suggestions for and directions to local restaurants and food stores. We ate in the small delightful nearby village of Villamagna. We spent a day in Florence seeing the beautiful sights, including the Academia Museum and the Uffizi Museum. We spent another day in Siena, on Violetta's recommendation, where we made amazing memories. The rooms in the Country House were large and clean. Looking at our pictures of it now we are home creates a strong yearning for this special place. From our first email to Violetta inquiring qbout renting her home Violetta was quick to get back to us to answer or questions. She continued to be available promptly while we were staying at the house. The views were breath taking. Looking at the village of Villamagna from the dining table was as compelling as the view of Florence from the front wall. We would recommend this property to anyone wanting to rent a car and spend tie in the Tuscany Countryside. We hope that we can someday return to this beautiful place that draws us back each time we look at pictures of it We would love to return there someday.
Marvelous location in vineyards near Florence!
Comfortable cottage in peaceful hillside setting with sweeping views of the Florence countryside. Violetta, the owner, is a travel agent, and offered the best tips for the easy, short drive into Florence and free parking! The city of Siena is also a must see. We enjoyed our days in the city and our sunsets with a glass of wine on our lawn among the fireflies. Spectacular. We highly recommend this property and friendly, helpful Violetta. Our stay here was a favorite from our summer trip to Italy. Thank you Violetta.
This is an excellent choice for any traveler looking to experience Italy outside the tourist traps. Violetta is a perfect host. The rental is a beautiful space with a great kitchen, bath with comfortable and spacious bedrooms. The view is breath-taking and the ride is easy to get to (if you follow Violetta's instructions). If I return to the Florence area (which I hope to) I will definitely stay here again.

This grey plant bowl is a part of Fleur Ami range and can bring a touch of classiness to the modern interior decor. This small-sized planter has been created from ceramic and poly-stone. As a decorative element, this container can be an ultimate piece of attraction.


I am guessing that most of you don't remember one of our earliest posts? It was back when Luise still was pregnant with Elsa. We shared a recipe for something that we called a yoga pot. It is the kind of warm and comforting stew that we typically make when cold weather hits our part of the world. It is also perfect pregnancy (and post-birth) food as it is easy to make double portions of and fill the freezer with.
The week before Isac was born, we created and filmed a new version of that recipe originally intended for our youtube channel but now we also wanted to share it here. A few vegetables have been replaced and new flavors have been added, but the essence of this dish is the same. This is food that your whole body likes. Yoga bowl would perhaps be a more charming name, but we decided that it was more fun to stick with the old name. Have a look at the video, take a yoga class, cook the recipe, fill up your belly and then your freezer.
We actually have another recipe for a savory crumble waiting around the corner, so check back with us soon. Oh, and if you for some reasons haven't got the news already, Green Kitchen Travels is now also released in the States. You can order it here or ask for it at your local book store.
Heat oil in a large saucepan and add chopped onion and garlic. Lower the heat and cook for a few minutes until the onions have softened. Add ginger, turmeric, cayenne and stir, ensuring that they do not burn. When the spices smell fragrant, add tomatoes, lentils, water and salt. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Stir in all the vegetables and cook for another 8-10 minutes. Add the cooked beans toward the end of the cooking time. Serve in bowls with a dollop of yogurt and fresh coriander/cilantro. This dish can also be served with brown, black or red rice, if you prefer.
That looks so delicious and healthy! and love love LOVE your videos!!
I do remember your first yoga pot - I actually love this name and glad you're sticking with it! There's so much deliciousness in this bowl, love the butter beans especially. Have been putting them in so many soups and rice bowls lately.
Of course I remember that Yoga Pot post! I made it quite a few times and loved it! Thanks for sharing this new version!
Hvor ser det lækkert ud! Jeg er for nylig startet til yoga, og kan allerede nu mærke hvordan min krop forandrer sig. Den følelse giver mig endnu mere lyst til et sundt måltid :-) Jeg vil helt sikkert prøve jeres opskrift efter næste time.
This sounds dreamy!! Such a big pot of goodness.
As always I love your photography. That bright green cilantro with the perfectly matching bowl-- wow! Nice video, too, of some calm and peaceful moments in the kitchen while baby was still inside.
I love the concept of a yoga pot. Just the name alone (never mind the wonderful ingredients) makes it SO appealing. Bookmarking this to try soon.
I remember making that recipe on the day that I moved into my first apartment. It really is comfort food at its best! I'm looking forward to trying out the new version.
This looks wonderful... I know a new mama who would love to get a pot of this. Can't wait to try it!
I am always inspired by your healthy, wholesome, and truly passionate approach to natural ingredients. This recipe does not disappoint. With colder weather around the corner, I sense this will fit in the rotation very naturally.
Köpte er kokbok i förra veckan och är så glad för den! Min frys är nu full med rödbetsbourguignon men detta receptet måste provas snart också. Hösten är ju verkligen grytornas tid. Namaste.
This looks so warm and comforting. Love the video!
I love your videos so much! What a warming dish this looks like. Will be trying it soon!

Mars InSight Mission
INSIGHT MISSION VIDEOS
NASA InSight: A Plan to Get the Mole Moving Again
NASA InSight scientist/engineer Troy Hudson gives us the game plan for getting the mission's heat probe, also known as the "mole," digging again on Mars.
For more about the mission, visit: mars.nasa.gov/insight/
I'm Troy Lee Hudson. I'm a member of the insight science team and the instrument systems engineer for the HP3.
Insight is a mission to study the deep interior of Mars. It has many science instruments to do this, one of which is HP3 -- A sort of planetary thermometer. A key component of HP3 is called the mole, sort of a self-hammering nail that drives its way into the ground and when we first commanded it to do this penetration, it did so beautifully, but at a certain point it stopped making forward progress.
This is a full-scale model of the HP3 support structure. The mole started out in this vertical tube and when we commanded the mole to start digging it released and started making progress millimeter by millimeter into the ground. At a certain point it began to tilt and around here approximately 10 centimeters above the surface of the ground, it stopped making progress. So, at this point we believe the mole is still partially within the support structure, pointing at about a 20-degree tilt to the southwest. It could be the case that the mole has encountered an external obstruction like a rock, but another possibility is that the soil at insight is providing us less friction than we expected and the mole needs friction to make forward progress.
JPL working along with DLR, the German space agency who provided the mole have been trying to understand what the problem is and come up with a plan of action.
We can't get a clear picture of what's happening with the mole, so we need to pick up the support structure and move it elsewhere.
We've been practicing that lift here in the test bed with models of the arm and the support structure. The lift has to be done carefully in three stages, small moves. So, we can look at the data and among other things, ensure that we're not inadvertently extracting the mole.
Once we moved the support structure and get a clear view of what's going on with the mole, we want to use the robotic arm again to help it. Our first choice is to come in with the scoop on the robotic arm and press flat on the soil above the mole. This may increase the friction at the mole giving it that extra nudge. It needs to start making progress.
This is unexplored territory. The mole is going somewhere we cannot see and have never been before to get that crucial number, th
