Alyssa Milano Rails Against Trump's SCOTUS Pick: "We Are in Crazy Times"
5:22 PM PDT 8/18/2018 by Katie Kilkenny
The 'Insatiable' actress joined writer Lauren Duca and activists Cecile Richards, Jessica McIntosh, Jessica Morales Rocketto and Meagan Hatcher-Mays to discuss a "tough" battle against Judge Brett Kavanaugh at the Los Angeles stop of the "Rise Up for Roe" tour.
Alyssa Milano on Saturday spoke out sharply against President Donald Trump's Supreme Court pick Brett Kavanaugh and suggested tactics for winning what she admitted was a "tough" battle against his appointment when she stopped by Los Angeles' "Rise Up for Roe" event.
The Insatiable and Charmed actress argued that Kavanaugh puts the landmark 1973 decision Roe v. Wade in jeopardy, and said that it is "fucking absurd" that women need to fight to save it in 2018.
Kavanaugh was nominated by President Trump to fill the vacancy left by Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy when he retires in the fall. Though analysts have widely reported that it's unclear how Kavanaugh would rule on issues of abortion if appointed to office, activists including Milano point to a 2017 speech in which the judge praised late Chief Justice William Rehnquist and Kavanaugh's decision-making on a case involving a pregnant teen immigrant as proof that he will erode Roe v. Wade rights.
"We can't normalize this. This is crazy. We are in crazy times," Milano said.
The event, held at El Rey Theater, is part of a two-week, 10-city tour intended to inform women on the stakes in the Kavanaugh decision and to rally them to organize against his nomination. Kavanaugh's hearing date is set for Sept. 4.
With journalist Lauren Duca acting as a moderator, Milano, who was wearing a tee shirt that read "Equality," sat down with former Planned Parenthood head Cecile Richards and a panel including activists Jessica McIntosh, Jessica Morales Rocketto and Meagan Hatcher-Mays to discuss the issue.
"Off the bat, I think we should call this the 'Rise Up for Everything' tour and not the 'Rise Up for Roe' tour," said the actress. "This guy [Kavanaugh], if he is elected the Supreme Court, will literally affect everything we know to be true as American citizens."
Richards, who worked for Planned Parenthood for 12 years, added that abortion would continue even if Roe v. Wade were overturned; it would just be unsafe and illegal for most women. "What we do know is that when decisions are made like overturning Roe that Judge Kavanaugh would be a part of, it doesn't affect wealthy women ... the folks that are going to be affected are those that have the least access to healthcare, civil liberties, everything. That's why this is about equality and justice," she said.
To fight Kavanaugh's appointment, Richards encouraged audience members and viewers (the event was live-streamed on the Demand Justice Facebook page) to contact their state senators: "That is the single most important thing that you can do," she said.
Milano added that those interested should gather their networks to mobilize against the judge's appointment. "We've seen what happens when people come together to support each other. We all have our own platforms ... and we have to be able to educate and empower people to make the right choices," she said.
Richards also put in a plug for storytelling, which she maintained was one of the reasons Democrats passed the Affordable Care Act. "One of the most important things we can do is tell our stories," she said. "This is the ammunition that I believe helps our senators as well in their fight."
Milano said she was getting "riled up" when she began discussing how former President Barack Obama's Supreme Court pick, Merrick Garland, was blocked from appointment after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell declared that any nomination by a sitting president before the ensuing presidential election would be illegitimate.
"I'm a little pissed at Obama, I'm gonna tell you. One, I would have closed down the government for that," Milano said. "Two, how are we not using the same tactics for this nominee that they did for us?" Duca then suggested all Democratic legislators act more like Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA).
Richards estimated that there are 13 cases involving abortion that are in line to arrive at the Supreme Court, and argued that Kavanaugh, if confirmed, could dramatically alter Roe v. Wade even without overturning it. "There are a million ways in which you can gut access to safe and legal abortion, and I 100 percent think Kavanaugh would do that."
On a brighter note, Richards said the election of Democrat Doug Jones from Alabama to the U.S. Senate and the nomination of Christine Hallquist, a transgender woman, to be Vermont's Democratic candidate, a first for a major party, showed the power of the female vote. "Women are doing things that people say are impossible everywhere and that's why I believe we can win this fight, we're gonna win this fight, and we have to win this fight," she said.

Reported news features and sound portraits linked to federal recognition of the Little Shell Tribe of Chippewa Indians. Produced by advanced audio students at the University of Montana School of Journalism as part of the Native News Honors Project.
Generations of Little Shell, known as Montana's "landless tribe," fought for the federal recognition that finally happened via Congress and the president in December 2019. This project explores what that means and what's next for a tribe with more than 5,000 members. The recognition was national news, covered in the New York Times, the Washington Post and other outlets. When the excitement settled, these graduate and undergraduate journalists dug in, talking to people all over Montana, where the tribe has its headquarters. The combined stories explore deeply who this tribe is, how it thinks about its identity and what's changed with long-sought recognition.

Reporter Kylie Mohr digs into the where of Montana's "landless tribe." Although more than 3,000 people in a tribe that has more than 5,000 members live in Montana, they're also spread out to almost every state in the country. That's part of what makes the Little Shell unique. History shows how and why the tribe adopted a nomadic culture. That's also seen through the family of one man in Columbia Falls. His relatives moved around to follow the work, including building the railroad and the Fort Peck dam. His grandmother was the glue that held together people in different places; she fought for recognition of the tribe, but died before that bill became law in 2019. Recognition won't change how the tribe has settled in many places, but it could help members feel a connection to a more important home base.
Reporter Kylie Mohr talks with Celina Gray, a grad student at the University of Montana and a mom of three who's struggled to find her place, both geographically and with her tribal affiliations. Gray discusses her identity and her family's history, including memories of father, who had his own radio show in Great Falls, Montana, and helped start the Native American Studies program at her university.

Cry the Beloved Country: Essay Q&A
Alan Paton was a distinguished South African novelist, poet, and biographer, who devoted most of his life to the cause of racial justice in his home country.
Paton was born in Pietermaritzburg, in the province of Natal, on January 11, 1903. He entered Natal University College in 1919, graduating with a B.Sc. degree in 1922. He became a teacher, employed in schools for well-off white students. But in 1934 he became seriously ill with enteric fever, which gave him time to reflect on the direction of his life. Fully aware of the racial injustice in South Africa, in 1935 he accepted a position as principal of Diepkloof Reformatory, a huge prison school for delinquent black boys, on the outskirts of Johannesburg. He remained in this position for ten years, during which he wrote several articles on crime and punishment (just as Arthur Jarvis does in Cry, the Beloved Country) for liberal magazines.
In 1946, Paton took a leave of absence in order to study penal institutions in Europe and the United States. It was while in Europe that he began his first novel, Cry, the Beloved Country. He finished the novel in the United States, and it was immediately accepted for publication by Scribner's. On publication in 1948, the novel was an enormous success. It sold millions of copies and was translated into twenty languages. It was also adapted for a Broadway musical in 1949, made into a film (1950) and adapted as a verse drama (1954). It is still widely regarded as the greatest South African novel.
That same year of 1948, Paton resigned as principal of the reformatory and became a full-time writer. Over the remainder of his life he produced a number of biographies and novels. These included his second novel, Too Late the Phalarope (1953), another story of racial tensions and prejudice in South Africa, and Hofmeyr (1964), a biography of Jan H. Hofmeyr, a liberal Afrikaner and Paton's political mentor. The second of Paton's acclaimed biographies was Apartheid and the Archbishop (1973), about Anglican bishop Geoffrey Clayton.
Paton was also active in politics. He joined the Liberal Party as vice-president in 1953, and became president in 1958. Harassed by the South African government because of his advocacy of racial integration, his international renown ensured that the government stopped short of imprisoning him. In 1960, after he returned from New York, his passport was withdrawn. (It was restored in 1970.)
Paton also wrote two volumes of autobiography, Toward the Mountain (1980) and Journey Continued (1988), and a third novel, Ah, But Your Land Is Beautiful (1981). His Collected Poems (1995) was published posthumously.
Paton died in Durban in 1988.

2014 promises to be a huge year for real estate in the United States. The liquidity the market has been looking for appears to finally be here; just in time for those seeking to bulk up their portfolios.
Buyer confidence is expected to keep sales activity and demand up. More foreclosures and rising rents also promise buy and hold investors many great deals and healthy cash flow levels. However, there is clearly a lot of pressure to speed up acquisitions for maximum short and long term returns.
This could all help mark 2014 as one of the biggest years in history for small and mid-sized investors acquiring properties in bulk.
In recent years, bulk purchasing of rental properties has definitely been a challenge. The massive real estate surge and a plethora of REOs created much frustration with long chains, mythical deals and amateur middlemen. Cash has been equally elusive for many. Even the most credit worthy individuals and investment firms with solid holdings found cash hard to come by. Fortunately, these things are changing and the stars appear to all be aligned for expanding portfolios.
Those bouncing around the web with phantom bulk deals seem to have given up and moved on to something else. Their removal has, therefore, helped other investors looking to buy up a lot of properties.
New lenders and loan programs are also breaking into the market in 2014, finally bringing big liquidity for those eager to make savvy investments now.
It may not have a huge appeal to larger real estate investors, but Bloomberg recently reported on Wells Fargo developing a sizable new in-house mortgage unit that will make portfolio loans. This trend should spread from bank to bank, as new regulations for secondary markets kick in. Competitiveness would help buyers on a national level.
Of course, one of the best things to come out of recent years of tight underwriting and conservative banks has been alternative lenders. These commercial mortgage lenders have been much more aggressive and flexible and willing to make deals happen.
Now, major hedge funds and private equity firms have pulled a pretty notable pivot, going from being the biggest competitor and roadblock for smaller investors to setting up new mortgage units and reaching out proactively.
This works in favor of income investment property buyers in two ways. Firstly; leaving more attractive deals on the table for investors to choose from. Secondly; providing the leverage those looking to bulk up quickly need. Lending units like FirstKey and B2R Finance have been created by the biggest funds to loan to those with portfolios of single family rental properties. These lenders are seriously hungry about putting their money to work, are working hard to streamline the borrowing and transaction process, and even offer non-recourse loans.
They are bullish on appreciation and are quite comfortable with making aggressive loans. These loans are available for refinancing to cash out and expand existing portfolios.

TATA, which is primarily known for its low-budget cars like Nano, is not likely to lose that tag anytime soon. The company is shying away from entering the premium D-Segment sedan market.
TATA has made several attempts to enter this market segment, but all in vain. Earlier the company failed to deliver anything substantial with the TATA Magna concept. Now, the TATA Prima concept seems to be going in the same direction. The Tata Prima sedan concept was first showcased at the Geneva Motor Show in 2009 followed by its presence at the Indian Auto Expo in 2010. But not much has been heard about this vehicle since then.

LIVE UPDATES: Military Takes Control in Zimbabwe; Detains Mugabe
Brainiack 11:01:00 Breaking News, Foreign, News
Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe has been detained in an unfolding military takeover in the southern African country.
Soldiers took control of Zimbabwe's ZBC state broadcaster in the early hours of Wednesday, and said the 93-year-old leader was "safe and sound".
Mr. Mugabe has led the southern African country since independence in 1980.
But the soldiers denied that they've seized power, saying their action was only aimed at reining in " criminal" elements around Mr. Mugabe, the oldest leader in the world.
Several officials have been held by the military, including ministers of the ruling ZANU-PF.
Those said to have been held include Albert Ngulube -Deputy Director Central Intelligence Organisation and Kudzai Chipanga – President of ZanuPF National Youth League.
Zimbabwe's privately-owned NewsDay reports that three leading figures in the Generation 40 (G40) faction of Zanu-PF who had been reportedly fomenting chaos in the ruling party were picked up in the early hours of Wednesday following the intervention of the country's Defence Forces.
Although the reports remain unconfirmed at the moment, indications are that Finance Minister Ignatius Chombo (Zanu PF's secretary for administration), national commissar Saviour Kasukuwere and Higher Education minister Jonathan Moyo were arrested in raids at their respective homes.
Mr. Moyo is believed to have been the brains behind the G40 faction that has reportedly been masterminding the expulsion of liberation war heroes in ZANU-PF, including the recent sacking of former Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa, the report says.
Mr. Mnangagwa is said to have landed at an Air Force base in the country to take charge of affairs.
He was pushed pushed out to pave way for the emergence of Mr. Mugabe's wife, a situation that irked the military, reports said.
Mr. Mugabe is said to be negotiating safe exit for himself and his wife, Grace.
ZANU-PF said this on Twitter Wednesday morning: Contrary to international reports, the gallant Zimbabwean Army has not staged a COUP. There is n COUP in Zimbabwe. Neither is there crisis.
The army is simply effecting a National Democratic Project and it's doing so with peaceful aplomb.
The United Kingdom Embassy in Zimbabwe urges nationals to stay at home and monitor development:
"Due to the uncertain situation in Harare, incl. reports of unusual military activity, we advise British nationals in the city to stay safely at home/indoors until the situation becomes clearer. Monitor this account for updates."
President Jacob Zuma of South Africa has sued for calm with the hope that the situation would not escalate beyond control.
President Zuma has called for calm and restraint and has expressed hope that developments in Zimbabwe would not lead to unconstitutional changes of Government as that would be contrary to both SADC and African Union positions.
He urges the Government of the Republic of Zimbabwe and #Zimbabwe Defence Force to resolve the political impasse amicably and has urged the Zimbabwean Defence Force to ensure that the maintenance of peace and security in the country is not compromised.
He added that SADC will continue to closely monitor the situation and remains ready to assist where necessary to resolve the political impasse in keeping with established SADC Protocols and processes.
Youth in the ZANU-PF say on Twitter that they're satisfied with the conduct of the military so far.
They also confirmed arrest of their leader, Chipanga, but say his safety is guaranteed.

Measures verified for the Isle of Man are very rare, and this unique gallon has seven different verification marks on its rim with variations of the arms of Man – 3 legs joined at the hip. Interestingly, the earliest mark is from Liverpool with a liver bird flanked by a crowned WR, meaning the measure was first verified before 1840 when the Isle of Man had official standards from the British Exchequer. Possibly, this is one of the earlier 'standard' measures used on the Island, and may date to the early 19th century. Although having no maker's mark, I am certain the measure was made in Liverpool, which is the only location where handles with lozenge shaped terminals were used on vessels. There is a plouk in the neck, which allows it to be used to measure Ale Standard (full to the brim), and Imperial Standard (to the plouk).

Done in Your Overly Cluttered Home or Office?
We live in a world where we have to juggle a multitude of obligations, events, and roles; and not only that, but we're expected to do it all with ease. It's hard not having enough time, energy, or motivation to organize your home or office. While you may often say, "I'll get to that tomorrow," tomorrow turns into a week, a week into a month and soon you are totally overwhelmed with the piles of clutter that confront you behind every door and on every surface. How are you supposed to tackle these organizational challenges on top of everything else you must do each day?
Enlist some help– Ask your spouse, kids, relatives, or friends to work with you on your organizing projects. It likely won't cost more than a few take-out dinners and a lot of "thank yous." Quantity isn't always quality, however; you could lose control of your brigade and end up with more of a mess than you started with.

HOLCOMBE, OSCAR FITZALLEN

HOLCOMBE, OSCAR FITZALLEN (1888–1968). Oscar Fitzallen Holcombe, mayor of Houston, the son of Robert Slough and Sarah King (Harrell) Holcombe, was born in Mobile, Alabama, on December 31, 1888. When he was three years old, his family moved from Alabama to San Antonio, Texas, where he was educated in the public schools and at age ten became a cash boy at Joske's His father died when Oscar was eleven, and the boy helped to earn part of the family income by selling newspapers. He later worked as a cowhand in Webb County and quit school to work full-time in 1903. In 1907 Holcombe was employed in Houston at his uncle's Harrell Lumber Company, where he became assistant manager by the age of twenty; he also worked briefly as a salesman for a sash and door company. In 1915 he founded a construction business, the O. F. Holcombe Company, which bid successfully for contracts to build public schools in Texas. So successful was the enterprise that, when he made his first race for mayor of Houston, Holcombe estimated his yearly income at $30,000.

He came into office at the beginning of a major building boom after World War I. During his terms of office the site of Houston grew from an area of less than thirty-five square miles to 352 square miles. Holcombe, nicknamed the "Old Gray Fox" because of the premature grayness he developed in his first campaign, won his first election in 1921 and began a twenty-two-year career as mayor. He won elections in eleven nonconsecutive terms; he served from 1921 to 1929, when he returned to the construction business, and from 1933 until 1937, 1939 to 1941, 1947 to 1953, and 1956 to 1958. In his first campaign he promised better business administration, reorganization of city departments, and new schools and paved streets. In 1922 his refusal to fire three Catholics from his administration led to opposition by the Ku Klux Klan. To refute allegations of gambling and drunkenness, he arranged a trial by fourteen Baptist ministers (ten of whom where Klansmen) that cleared his name to the voters' satisfaction. During his early administrations he aggressively annexed territory to the city and was instrumental in obtaining wider streets, better sewerage, a new municipal auditorium, a farmers' market, and several libraries. He established the new municipal offices of city manager and public service commissioner, as well as the city planning commission. He also developed and installed traffic signals and parking meters citywide.

In 1932, when the city treasury was depleted, Holcombe turned the streetlights back on and promised to clean up the books, but had to fire many city workers. Charter changes in the period reduced the administrative authority of the council and concentrated power in the mayor. This led in 1942 to a successful campaign by the Citizens Charter Commission, which replaced the strong-mayor form of government with a city manager, an eight-man council, and a part-time mayor. The new system did not last, however, and in 1946 citizens revoked it, returned Holcombe to office, and eliminated the city manager.

Holcombe is credited with separating jurisdiction over the port of Houston from politics by combining the Houston Harbor Commission and the Harris County Navigation District. He came out of semiretirement in 1956 to run successfully against incumbent mayor Roy M. Hofheinz, and lost his last bid for reelection as mayor to Lewis W.

Prestigious Henry Stopes Memorial Medal awarded to UWTSD academic
An academic from UWTSD has been awarded the prestigious Henry Stopes Memorial Medal.
Based at the University's Lampeter campus, Dr Martin Bates accepted the outstanding contribution award from the Geologists' Association during an online ceremony on Friday 7 May. This prize is awarded just once every three years for exceptional work in the archaeological field and specifically 'on the Prehistory of Man and his geological environment.'
During his career, Dr. Bates has been involved in a number of major discoveries within the UK archaeological field including the Dover Bronze Age Boat, the Clactonian Elephant butchery site in Ebbsfleet, the Harnham terminal Lower Palaeolithic site near Salisbury and he discovered the Happisburgh human footprints in Norfolk (the oldest presently know in the world outside Africa).
It was noted during the presentation that the Henry Stopes Medal had been awarded to Dr Bates for his "significant contributions to understanding the geological environment of prehistoric human occupation of Britain and elsewhere over the last 40 years."
It was also noted that in the spirit of the Geologists' Association he was "generous with his time and expertise to colleagues, students and members of the public alike"
Following the awards ceremony, Dr Martin Bates, commented:
"It is incredible to be recognised in this way and I'd like to thank the Geologists' Association for this honour. However, this award really reflects the support I have received through my career from a whole range of specialists who have provided me with the data I have used in my research. Without them I would not have been able to do what I have done"
"I think this all goes back to my very early days spent on the beaches of West Wales being dragged along on Saturday fieldtrips led by my father for students studying geology at Aberystwyth. He has a lot to answer for!"
Further information about the Archaeology provision at the University is available on our website.

Cast and Crew Professional Wrestling Review Road To WrestleMania Spotlight TV and Cinema WrestleMania WWE WWE Hall of Fame
Class of 2019 WWE Hall of Fame Ceremony Reactions
Post author By Jack Flowers
Boy am I glad I watched the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony. I almost skipped it for Shazam!, but ultimately after NXT Takeover and the WWE Chronicle on Charlotte Flair last night, I decided to stay the course and went with the Hall. We had a lot of good, with a dose of bad that made tonight a really quality, awe-inspiring, and yet blighted course of events.
The Red Carpet kicked off with three points of reporting that gave us moments with the likes of, Miz and his family, The Usos family, as well as the families of Bobby Lashley, Titus O'Neil, Drake Maverick, Mustafa Ali, to name a few. We also Charlotte Flair and Andrade Almas, and the IIconics alongside quite a few other faces. Good humor and emotion to get you to transition well into the environment.
The introductions began with DX hijacking the show in epic fashion by setting the tone for the new and fresh take on the ceremony production. Hosting was the dynamic clash of Renee Young and Corey Graves who wasted no time in getting the show on the move. Throughout the show, we received humor, warm sentiments, and fun through the likes of Young and Graves, Big E and Xavier Woods, plus an excellent fan to talent crowd chemistry.
The Honky Tonk Man
The show kicks off with The Honky Tonk Man strolling in on the back of his pink Cadillac. The Honk gave us a story of his rise with Jimmy Hart who was at his side, and before pulling off with a microphone in hand and a roaring approval from the WWE universe, the Honk showed us how with a little hard work and a little luck, you can find your calling. Honk expressed honor and gratitude.
RELATED: The Honky Tonk Villain Gets His Hall Call
Torrie Wilson came out strong proving people who silencing any doubts of her stature in the history of this industry and showing everyone that anyone with enough heart, will, and perseverance can find themselves and the confidence you are looking for. All it takes it to defeat fear. She gave everyone 3 ways to do that. She and the WWE fired perfectly with this and Torrie walked away with hearts in hand. This was a great speech. It was classy, witty, poignant, graceful and inspiring. The WWE didn't gloss over her Playboy history in the video package, and Torrie didn't shy away from how she got hired but crushed it all the same. She did this only two days after her father passed away. Easily the show stealer had we not had the disgusting blight that came with our next inductee.
The Hart Foundation
Nattie came to the ring on behalf of her father with Uncle Bret at her side. Nattie recapped her final text conversation with her father whihc resonated perfectly before handing it over to Bret. Bret then began telling the stories of how the Hart Foundation came to be, and the joys that he had with Jim Neidhart.
All was going extremely well when a "fan", if we could even call him that, jumped the barricade and attacked Bret Hart throwing Natalya down with him. At this point Shane McMahon, Travis Browne, Big E, Xavier Woods, Edge, Drake Maverick, Dave Boy Smith Jr, Tyson Kidd, Dash Wilder, and countless others swarm the ring, both recovering Bret and Nattie safely and removing the intruder by swift force. fists and knees from several of the Superstars were topped off with a "Just Fists, No Flips" finale from Dash Wilder showing just what the Hart Foundation is all about.
ENRAGED SEEING THIS
SO much love 4 @shanemcmahon @travisbrowneMMA
1st on the scene@NatbyNature @DBSmithjr for sticking by their family @BretHart@DashWilderWWE #ECW style
BOO venue security for slow response after wrestlers did their job#WWEHOF pic.twitter.com/LhRHztK9cH
— Tommy Dreamer (@THETOMMYDREAMER) April 7, 2019
When all was said and done, Drake Maverick took to the mic to get things swiftly back on track, almost had it never happened, if not for Bret's hair the rest of the speech. However, Bret took what happened and delivered it into a punchline, as the real irony was this guy was doing what Bret was talking about, with angry mobs of fans attacking heels back in their day, this only made Bret's speech all the better. In the end, Bret and Nattie made their speech one the most memorable, not because of what happened, but because their words showed that integrity and family bonds can change the world for one another. They showed why they were different from any other tag team out there and why so many have been inspired by them and did so with a perfect mix of humor and heart. Shout out to Nattie for mentioning Owen, and Congrats to the Hart's.
Next up was Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake, who was inducted by Hulk Hogan. Once The Barber came out, he delivered a short but impactful speech that expressed humble and grateful reactions to those who have recognized over 40 years of hard work and dedication. He shared a story on how he came to be the Barber, and deliver a shot at Baron Corbin in the process.

Sue Aitchison – Warrior Award
The Ultimate Warrior suggested an award for people who work hard outside the ring, and nobody seems to embody the award more than Sue Aitchison. With decades of behind the scene work, most people have no idea how much Sue actually has done. Dana Warrior made her appearance once again to introduce the award and eventually introduce John Cena, who would induct Sue into the Hall of Fame. During this time John mentioned how Sue was instrumental in their partnership with the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The crowd would end up chanting "Face Kurt Angle", and Angle was show laughing at the matter in the crowd. When sue took the stage she drew heart by mentioning Superstars and other behind the scenes work that has helped children in need. She express her gratitude, and mentioned the story of meeting Connor Michalek. Many Superstars were left in tears, and as Sue called out Justin Bieber for trying to claim that he had done more Make-A-Wish meets than John Cena, the crowd was left with laughter. Sue even made light that she had to arrange travel and stay for all of the other Inductees. Sue let us with a class act. She let us all know that although most won;t ever hear your name, that doesn't mean your work won't matter to many people.
Stevie Ray and Booker T came out to the introduction of Renee Young and Corey Graves, in what was likely done to cut down on time and avoid a long winded speech from someone else. With a warm welcome from for the two from the WWE Universe Booker began by wishing his mother were here, and thanking his brother for if it were not for his desire to follow Stevie everywhere he wouldn't be here today. He spoke candidly on his time in prison and how his brother always had his back and kept him interested in wrestling. He also made a point of crediting Sensational Sherri to their early success. Before handing it over to Stevie, Booker mentioned that he has been living his brother dream and it's time for him to wake up. Stevie, who was the more underrated worker, and despite Booker's singles success, the draw early on in their careers. But he spoke on how he and Booker came up, how despite being knocked back down over and over again, their desire to keep at it eventually got them to where they needed to be. Stevie told a very humorous and well told story while mentioning thanks to Hogan, Sid Vicious, and Arn Anderson, among others for their success. They also gave credit to The Usos, The New Day, The Revival, and The Street Profits for holding down today's Tag Team division. Before signing off they gave mention to "KofiMania" and stated that Daniel Bryan was going to get an ass whooping, which Daniel played into brilliantly by threatening to get in the ring. While these two had one of the longer speeches of the night, they never once felt like they had overstayed their welcome. I could honestly listen to these two speak all night.
DX closed the show just the same as they opened it with plenty of nostolgia including penis jokes, which hunter attributed to his mother, catchphrases, heartwarming thanks, and even apologies for corrupting an entire generation. Plenty of serious moments occurred when Triple H thanked Killer Kowalski, and had a touching moment with Stephanie and his daughters. Road Dogg thanked god for his sobriety, his wife for sticking by him through the hell he put her through, and the WWE for putting him in the Hall beside his father Bullet Bob Armstrong. Sean Waltman battled emotions as he thanked Nash, Hall, Hogan, Jerry Lynn, Flair, and others. Most notably though Sean thanked Chyna as did everyone on stage who credited her to their success and Sean even went as far as to suggest the currently unnamed women's battle royal be named the Chyna Memorial Battle Royal. Personally, I am entirely behind that idea. "Thank you Chyna" chants ensued, and so did classic DX moments as Triple H ribbed Vince, Sean provided pictures of droopy granny boobs, censored of course, and Billy, Hunter, and Shawn delivered several back and forth jokes on AEW considering Billy's stature within the company. This was an excellent end that ultimately wrapped in super-soakers and Triple H chasing Baron Corbin around the arena.
Id like to note that they also introduced the Legacy Inductees at some point in the show that I don't particularly recall the timeline of, but it can be seen here:

Q: Using JWT saved in cookies in vue.js to get a user object from my spring API for persisted log-in I'm trying to mock up some persisted log-in for my first web application so the site is still functional after a refresh. When I print the token (which is saved in cookies) in the console, it prints normally.  And when I use postman with the token in the header, I get the correct JSON response.  However, when using it in the mounted method, I get a 401.  So I believe it is an issue with the way I'm am implementing my headers in my fetch.  Thanks in advance, as I am extremely new to coding.

mounted: function() {
    console.log(this.$cookies.get('token'));
    let t = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(this.$cookies.get('token')));
    let h = new Headers();
    h.append('Authentication', `Bearer ${t}`);
    fetch('http://localhost:8080/api/owner/persist', {
        method: 'GET',
        headers: h
      })
      .then((response) => {
        return response.json();
      })
      .then((data) => {
        this.jwtUser = data;
      })

Java Controller below: if I have the PreAuthorize Tag, I get a 401 error,  and if I take it away I get a null pointer exception.  I think its just something wrong with the formatting of my header.  Which I have been messing around with a lot.

    @PreAuthorize("isAuthenticated()")
    @RequestMapping(path = "api/owner/persist", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public Owner persistedLogin(Principal principal) {
        Owner o = new Owner();
        o = ownerDAO.getOwnerInfoByName(principal.getName());
        return o;
    }

A: The standard way to transport access tokens, and especially JWTs, is the header called Authorization.
In your code example you are using Authentication which is from a description point of view correct as JWTs are in the first step authenticating a request and only at the second step source for authorization. But the standard header is like it is and was named Authorization. Your formatting of the header-value (Bearer <token>) looks correct to me.
Double check the correct name of your header that needs to carry the token, and verify you are using the correct one which is working as you stated in your test with Postman.
Best,
cobz

Building a lasting relationship with your customers is a key mission of your customer service. One of the best ways of reaching out to clients is through a follow up – you can follow up with customers who have just made a purchase or with your regular clients. Here are 7 smart steps for a great after-sale follow up that will help you to build customer loyalty and improve your chances at repeat sales.
Consumers always remember companies with great customers service, so make sure that yours is top notch. Establish a special follow up procedure, where your employees would call consumers to ask them whether they're happy with your product or service. Follow up to make sure your clients received the product or provide some updates on the delivery arrangements – all this will show you care about your customers and rely on their trust.
When following up, it's great to ask your clients what they think about your product. Your interest in what they think about your company's offer will make them feel valued and engaged with your brand – and this is the first step to building a lasting relationship.
When contacting your clients, make sure to remember their name and your previous conversation with them. Refer to their last purchase and ask about it. All this will help them feel more 'at home' with your business.
If you've got a comprehensive client database, this kind of follow up can be easily automatized. Sending e-mails with seasonal greetings and featuring some relevant offers, discounts and sales advertisements will give you an opportunity for regular updates. Sending a birthday card, you can attach a special promo code or a personalized selection of products related to the ones bought by the client.
Grant your costumers special promotions or discounts if they refer your company to their family and friends. This follow up will help you to build a stable consumer network built on trust and loyalty.
This is especially relevant if you've got a team of sales reps eager to find new customers and establish closer relationships with your regulars. Every time they contact a client, they should offer something of value – information about developments in the industry, an interesting article that matches the interests of the customer or a notice about what's new at the company.
Sending a thank-you note in a e-mail won't impress anyone. A handwritten note is a great idea – not only is it more personal, but also very original. This applies mostly to situations where the sale is arranged personally by a sales representative. Establish this policy and you'll see your reps develop closer relationships with your customers.
Industry experts agree that it's best to follow up within two weeks after the sale. Following up is easy, costs a fraction of your time and can be vital in establishing valuable and long-lasting consumer relationships.

What is more painful is that, incidentally, there are few events in history that are as rich as the event of Karbala\\\\\\\' from the viewpoint of reliable sources. Formerly I used to imagine that the basic reason for the proliferation of legends in this field is that the actual events are not known to anybody. But when I studied I found that no event of remote past-for instance of a period thirteen or fourteen centuries ago-has as reliable an history as the event of Karbala\\\\\\\'. Reliable Muslim historians have reported the pertinent episodes with trustworthy chains of transmission from the first/seventh and the second/eighth centuries, and their narrations are close and corroborate one another.
There were certain reasons which were responsible for the preservation of these details in history. One of them, which caused the details of this event to be preserved and its objectives to remain clear, were the many speeches (khutbahs) that were delivered during its course. In those days, an oration was what communiques and press releases are in our era. In the same way that official communiques issued during wartime are the best historical source, so were orations in these days. Accordingly, there were many of them before the event of Karbala\\\\\\\', during, and after it. Individuals from among the Prophet\\\\\\\'s household made orations in Kufah, Damascus and other places. Basically, their aim by delivering these orations was to inform the people about the episodes as well as to declare the truth of the matter and to spell out the goals. This was itself one of the reason for the events to be reported.
There were also many exchanges, questions and answers, in the event of Karbala\\\\\\\' and these are recorded in history. They too disclose for us the nature of the occurrences.
Rajaz poetry was also recited a lot during Karbala\\\\\\\', and, in particular Abu \\\\\\\'Abd Allah (\\\\\\\'a) himself recited much rajaz, and these rajaz verses also reveal the character of the confrontation.
There were many letters that were exchanged before and after the episode of Karbala\\\\\\\', letters that were exchanged between the Imam and the people of Kufah, between the Imam and the people of Basrah, the letters that the Imam wrote earlier to Mu\\\\\\\'awiyah (which indicate that the Imam was preparing for an uprising after Mu\\\\\\\'awiyah\\\\\\\'s death), the letters that the enemies wrote to one another, Yazid to Ibn Ziyad, Ibn Ziyad to Yazid, lbn Ziyad to \\\\\\\'Umar ibn Sa\\\\\\\'d, \\\\\\\'Umar ibn Sa\\\\\\\'d to Ibn Ziyad, whose texts are all recorded in the history of Islam.

Glovo is a Spanish quick-commerce start-up founded in Barcelona, Spain, in 2015 by Oscar Pierre and Sacha Michaud. It is an on-demand courier service that purchases, picks up, and delivers products ordered through its mobile app. It offers multiple services with food delivery being the most popular.

In July 2022, Delivery Hero completed the acquisition of a majority stake in Glovo.

History

Founded by Oscar Pierre (CEO) and co-founder Sacha Michaud, Glovo's first meetings were in a McDonald's. It eventually expanded into other countries, but, in January 2020, Glovo ended its operations in Turkey, Egypt, Puerto Rico and Uruguay.

In October 2020, in an effort to achieve profitability, Glovo's remaining Latin American operations were purchased by Delivery Hero (DH), a German company, in a deal worth US$272 million, leaving Glovo with just its Southern and Eastern Europe operations. In September 2022, Glovo was fined $78 million for labor breaches in Spain.

In December 2021, DH signed a deal to become Glovo's majority shareholder, acquiring an additional 39.4% stake of the Spanish delivery company. The acquisition was completed in July 2022 and since then it has owned a majority stake in Glovo (94%).

Locations

As of January 2019, Glovo is operational in 25 countries:

 Andorra
 Armenia
 Bosnia and Herzegovina
 Bulgaria
 Croatia
 Georgia
 Ghana
 Italy
 Côte d'Ivoire
 Kazakhstan
 Kenya
 Kyrgyzstan
 Moldova
 Montenegro
 Morocco
 Nigeria
 Poland
 Portugal
 Romania
 Serbia
 Slovenia
 Spain
 Tunisia
 Uganda
 Ukraine

Services
Food delivery service is the company's most popular service. Other services available include pharmacy, courier and quiero (anything).

The food business allows users to find and place orders with their favourite restaurants which is picked up when ready and delivered to the user's doorstep. While this model continues to be its flagship service, the company is reported experimenting with CloudKitchens and Grocery Darkstores.

Q: Choosing particular Fragment to display in Activity? I'm trying to modify this app's code: https://github.com/udacity/ud839_ViewPager_Example/tree/quiz
to make MainActivity display TuesdayFragment at start instead of MondayFragment.
I want to learn how to choose the particular fragment.java file that Activity displays when starts.
Some of you may not have time to check code on github, so here it is:
MainActivity.java
package com.example.android.viewpager;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.view.ViewPager;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;

/**
 * Displays a {@link ViewPager} where each page shows a different day of the week.
 */
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        // Set the content of the activity to use the activity_main.xml layout file
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        // Find the view pager that will allow the user to swipe between fragments
        ViewPager viewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.viewpager);

        // Create an adapter that knows which fragment should be shown on each page
        SimpleFragmentPagerAdapter adapter = new SimpleFragmentPagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());

        // Set the adapter onto the view pager
        viewPager.setAdapter(adapter);
    }
}

and it's layout activity_main.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<!-- Layout for the main screen -->
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    tools:context="com.example.android.viewpager.MainActivity">

    <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
        android:id="@+id/viewpager"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" />

</LinearLayout>

TuesdayFragment.java, WednesdayFragment.java and MondayFragment.java are very similar, just use different layouts.xml, that display different day of the week text:
package com.example.android.viewpager;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;

/**
 * Fragment that displays "Monday".
 */
public class MondayFragment extends Fragment {

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_monday, container, false);
    }
}

and there is a SimpleFragmentPagerAdapter.java:
package com.example.android.viewpager;

import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentPagerAdapter;

/**
 * Provides the appropriate {@link Fragment} for a view pager.
 */
public class SimpleFragmentPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {

    public SimpleFragmentPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
        super(fm);
    }

    @Override
    public Fragment getItem(int position) {
        if (position == 0) {
            return new MondayFragment();
        } else if (position == 1){
            return new TuesdayFragment();
        } else {
            return new WednesdayFragment();
        }
    }

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        return 3;
    }
}

I was reading about fragments and transactions and playing with transaction and replace, trying to force TuesdayFragment to be displayed at start of the MainActivity with ideas like:
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.viewpager, TuesdayFragment).commit();

but nothing worked.
Question: Can someone be so kind and show me what code needs to be modified/added, for MainActivity to be able to start with whatever Fragment I want? Right now it always starts with MondayFragment.
I'm stuck, so even pushing me in the right direction will be much appreciated at this point.

A: Once you set the adapter, you can call this method in your onCreate method:
viewPager.setCurrentItem(indexOfItemYouWantToDisplay)

As default is 0, MondayFragment is displayed. Set it to 1, and TuesdayFragment will be displayed.


In object-oriented programming, a class constructor is a method called every time an object of a given class is created. In Java, a class can have more than one constructor, and different constructors differ in the list of parameters they accept. Thejava.lang.Class<T> class, which contains the definition of an arbitraryT class, offers various methods to inspect a class; one of these methods isgetConstructors(), which returns an array ofjava.lang.reflect.Constructor objects representing each of the public constructors of a given class.


Spiders | S.O.S. Pest Control | Peachland, B.C.
Most spiders are venomous, but very few are considered dangerous to humans. However, even spiders without toxic venom are generally not welcome in Okanagan homes. When it comes to dangerous species, such as the black widow, it's important that you know how to identify them. Black widow female spiders are easily identified by the red hourglass-shaped marking on their backs, but they are not the only dangerous spider. The venom of a brown recluse can also cause bodily harm to humans if left untreated. Brown recluses can be identified by the white and dark brown markings, shaped like a violin, on their abdomen and the row of bristles on their back legs. At S.O.S. Pest Control, we can identify the types of spiders that are in your building and take appropriate actions.
If you have a spider problem in the Okanagan, call S.O.S. Pest Control in Penticton.

Material For Groom Speeches
Groom Speech Features
Wedding Speech Humour - Keep it in The Family
Of all the themes that you can give a wedding speech, one of the safest and most satisfying is one that references family members for comic effect. Since about half of the people there will have some connection to your family, humour which plays on the personalities of your kin is bound to get a good response, while also proving something of an eye-opener for those who aren't yet familiar with the brood. So if you're looking to put together a wedding speech with a family feel to it, where can you look for material?
Close Family
If you're the Groom, Bride or Father-in Law, then the most obvious folks to mine for material are your closest family relatives. This will give everyone an idea of what kind of background you yourself have come from. Best Men who are part of the family can also get in on this, but if you're a mate of the Groom you'll probably want to stick to jokes about those relatives you actually know, such as his parents, rather than making stuff up about the Groom's elderly grandmother. Here are some good lines:
"Quite a posh place for us lot, isn't it dad? Look, I know you've had a drink but just be careful, alright? When you start nicking silverware, don't go putting the spoons in someone else's pocket."
"Honestly, my sisters always seem to cry at weddings. Especially the ones when their Groom hasn't turned up."
"The whole clan has pitched in today and made it real family effort. Mum did the decorations, Dad organised the food, Nicky booked the entertainment, and our brothers Daz and Chris…they had a wash, and they managed to put their shoes on the right feet. For them that's a pretty big deal."
Referencing the extended family with a few well-timed one-liners is a great way to show your appreciation for the effort they've made to come; and often goes down far better than a boring old thank you. Non-familial Best Men probably don't need to do this, but if your cousins, uncles, aunties and the rest have travelled a fair distance to be here today, make them feel welcome and loved by gaining a laugh at their expense:
"Leah and I struggled to pick a honeymoon destination for a while actually, something I know folks in my family have had trouble with too. I remember for his honeymoon, my cousin Lee wanted to fly to exotic places, stay in five-star hotels on the waterfront and go to a fancy casino and restaurant every night of the week… but sadly his wife Jenny thought they should do some things together instead."
"A healthy marriage requires healthy people - that's something I've always believed, and it's a mantra my dear Auntie Muriel shares too. She was married to Uncle Steve for 40 years, and at age 60 she suddenly quit the fags, ditched the booze and started walking five miles a day. That was four years ago… so God knows where she's got to by now."
"On behalf of Amy and Mark, I'd like to thank you all for coming today, especially those of you who have undertaken an arduous journey to be here. My brother-in-law Johnny has had an especially difficult trip here so let's give him a round of applause. He lives just around the corner, but he had to share the car with my sister."
The Other Family
Even if you're not on familiar terms with the other family in the room, you can still make some amusing quips about them (as long as you're not too personal). If you do know them well then feel free to lay into your soon-to-be in-laws, but otherwise you'd be wise to stick to joking in more general terms.
"I'm not 100% sure Hannah's grandmother approves of Pete, you know. Most people attach shoes and tin cans to the back of the wedding car - she was cutting the brake cables."
"One of the things I love about Lucy is how close she is to her family, especially her grandparents Jack and Iris over there. Although one thing that worried me was when she said she was going to get married in her grandmother's dress - Iris has got a great figure but it's a bit cold to be getting starkers."
"One thing I'm certain of is that Danielle is marrying into a fantastic family. I may not know all of you as well as I'd like just yet, but I'm sure once you find out how much I've left behind the bar that will change."
A Best Man's Family
If you're the Best Man and you're not related to anybody there, you can still get in on the act by talking about things you've witnessed, or events from your own family where relevant. You might have received a particularly pertinent piece of advice from your old man, or perhaps your own wedding day involved an amusing incident with a family member which may raise a smile. These jokes should be kept brief, but they're still worth looking into for material, as let's be honest - all families are as daft as each other:
"I actually gave away my sister at her wedding. I stood up and shouted 'she used to be a man!'".
"It's always nice seeing a father and son share a touching moment. I nearly cried myself when Bob went up to Chris and said 'Son, you'll look back on today as the happiest day of your life, it's the best thing you've ever done.' And he was right, you know. That was a cracking stag do."
"I wanted to give Mike and Daisy some advice today, so I asked my own parents if they had any pearls of wisdom to pass on. My mum said a happy marriage is all about communication, communication, communication, and without that you've got nothing. Very true, I thought. Then I asked if she can get dad. "No chance love, he switches his phone off when he's down the pub'".
So there you have it, that's our guide to creating family funnies for your next wedding speech. An incisive and well-timed joke about your relatives in the room will not only have them rolling the aisles, it'll also make everyone feel as important as the bride and groom on your family's special day.

Race Recap: Warrior Dash SoCal 2017
Saturday's Warrior Dash was like visiting a good friend who always brings a smile to your face. The race itself isn't the hardest or the longest. But it is a great test for those new to OCR and want to see how they like the sport we've come to love. Plus it has one hell of a fun festival area for post-race festivities.
The race was held at Prado Park in Chino, about 50 miles east of Los Angeles. Saturday's weather called for a chance of rain in the morning, but that wasn't the case. The skies were overcast and the temps were perfect for racing. This brought out a huge amount of participants for this year's event. The course is located next to a campground and lake, which was drained due to some maintenance being done on it, which allowed us to run through some of it. The race distance was said to be around 3.3 miles, but I saw mine and other people's posts range from 3.6 to 3.9 miles.
I ran with the competitive group which was timed. The course is over dirt paths and trampled down brush. There aren't many hills to really challenge you too much, which makes this a pretty fast course. The first mile was pretty much obstacle free except for a cool mini fire jump with back to back-to-back fire pits. The rest of the course, which had 12 obstacles, such as Bridge the Gap where you climb up and down a pyramid of planks and Trenches where you get up to your elbows in the mud where you low crawl through covered trenches which included a fog machine to mess with your senses. The last two obstacles are a Warrior Dash staple. Goliath is a two-story cargo net climb to a 30-foot water slide below. This is where people's fear of heights and the pool of water below can be a challenge all its own. But they conquer those fears with a smile on their faces, as you can see from the video. The last obstacle is, of course, Muddy Mayhem. You army crawl 100 feet under barbed wire in mud and murky water with the finish line at the other end waiting for you.
A pleasant surprise though was the shower area. It was the usual hoses with spray nozzles that were suspended from a PVC frame. The difference was these hoses had some serious water pressure!! Not the standard trickle of water coming from the hoses like at most OCRs nowadays. Kudos to Warrior Dash for that. It was much appreciated.
This year's medals were different than in past races. This year it was a small block of wood with different slogans on each side, as well as having numbers on each side that their website says you can use as a die to roll to promote, fun, training routines and more. This was a little underwhelming to me as I really liked the signature helmet design. I guess it can be used as a paperweight if I'm looking at it glass half full.
The post-race festival, on the other hand, was AWESOME as usual. From the music to the festival area, to the corn hole and bucket-sized "beer pong like" set-ups, there was no shortage of fun to be had by all, no matter their ages. Out of all the OCR post-race festivals, I've been at, this one ranks as my favorite.
The big winner at Warrior Dash is their charity, St. Jude Children's Hospital. The unofficial total raised at Saturday's race was $21,407. There's nothing better than being able to donate to a cause to help those young warriors battle their illnesses.
In closing, Warrior Dash is a great OCR event for those new to the sport or those who just want to have a fun time out on the course. The obstacles are doable, the distance is manageable and the post-race festivities are the cherry on top. Now get out there, get muddy and get that fuzzy red helmet!!

About the Author: Spartan Dave
I am a former couch potato turned obsessed OCR Athlete. I got hooked on OCR's after doing the Spartan Malibu Sprint in 2014. I was out of shape & barely survived. As soon as I crossed the finish line, I knew was hooked. I had a great "rookie" season in 2015 as a 48 year old, but 2016 will be a rebuilding year due to injuries, That won't keep me away from attending as many OCR events as I can though as I recover!! #OCRAddict

Wheat & Gluten – Roots to Sky with Matt Walton | Aim Higher. Live Inspired.
In this sure-to-expand database, I provide links and discussions on the hidden health dangers of wheat backed by strong scientific research.
It is interesting to note that wheat is one of the very few grains in Chinese nutrition that is considered Cooling or Cold in property (despite aspects of it being inflammatory, more on this in my upcoming Intro to Chinese Medicine article), and thus has many detrimental effects, especially on the digestive 'Fires' if consumed in excess. From the Chinese perspective, digestion is the paramount 'Centre' of our being, it requires Warmth (Yang) to generate the vital energy it then supplies to the entire body. It also readily contributes to 'Dampness' which can be seen as pathogenic microbes such as yeast and fungal growths, as well as excess mucus production, causing a 'dampening' of the digestion system resulting from incomplete/weakened food absorption – while other grains such as barley or rye exhibit a dampness drying effect. Due to the digestive system being central in the production of Qi (Vitality) a decline in digestive function can spiral out to affect every other system of the body.
Conventional wheat – the backbone of Western, especially North American nutrition – may thus likely play a significant role in the current rampant chronic disease states we see today, from obesity to allergies, asthma to metabolic syndrome, even in heart disease. While I believe that all foods can be used medicinally, to the degree and modification that it is consumed today, wheat loses this value and may be best universally avoided for optimal health. When compared to the traditional Asian staple of rice, as discussed in 'The China Study' – the largest nutrition study ever done, wheat may join the ranks alongside pasteurized dairy and conventional red meat (opposed to grass-fed) as being more harm than good when consumed on a regular basis. The research below backs this assumption.
As a final note, this discussion borders on supporting 'Paleo' diets, and while there may certainly benefits, I will be adding future articles to remind us that no one-size-fits-all diets are appropriate and there are many faults in Paleo thinking as well.
In a video overview, Sayer Ji, the author of "The Dark Side of Wheat," discusses the emerging viewpoint that wheat represents a human species-specific intolerance that should be universally avoided. Part two discusses many other health related topics.
In this article a key question is brought to the forefront, namely, is eating wheat and gluten free enough to obtain optimal health? The mass market has done quite a good job of accommodating the gluten & wheat free movement by providing an increasingly wide number of good tasting and seeming nutritious "whole grain" products. But are whole grains like rice, or other common wheat substitute flours like potato, really as good for us as we think?
This article reminds us that Paleo 'grain blamer's' may not have all the facts straight, and while as detailed above, grains certainly do have their detrimental effects, there is much more to the picture… correlation is not causation.
The link above takes you to the FAQ on his page.
