While the internet leads us to believe that having a plus size pregnancy goes hand-in-hand with gestational diabetes, the reality is that women of all sizes incur gestational diabetes (GD).
Within the article 4 Things No One Tells You About Being Plus Size and Pregnant I addressed how you might be tested twice for GD. If during either of these test you do become diagnosed with gestational diabetes please know that you didn't do anything wrong. Beating yourself up or becoming stressed out sure doesn't help anything. You have every right to throw a pity party but then it's time to become super proactive with your health and the health of your baby.
When it comes to nutrition during pregnancy, do you have any special advice for plus size moms-to-be?
To be honest, the nutrition advice I give for pregnant women is pretty similar regardless of their size. Eating a nutrient-dense, real food diet helps provide your baby with the nutrients needed to develop properly and has the side-benefit of helping keep your weight gain at a healthy level. There's some research showing plus-size mamas are at a higher risk for having certain complications, like gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, and having a larger baby. All of these can be minimized by eating foods that naturally keep your blood sugar balanced. When your blood sugar doesn't spike and plummet frequently, you have fewer cravings for sugary and starchy snacks, your blood pressure is less likely to go too high (since your blood pressure is directly affected by your blood sugar), and your baby is more likely to grow at a normal rate (since blood sugar is a major driver of your baby's weight gain, especially in the last trimester).
Would you recommend that women follow a gestational diabetes nutrition tips regardless if they have GD or not?
Essentially, yes. I recommend a moderately low-carb, real food diet based primarily on fresh vegetables, meat, fish/seafood, eggs, dairy, nuts, seeds, legumes, and a little fruit. I encourage moms to eat mindfully (following hunger and fullness cues for how much and when to eat) rather than count calories or obsess over numbers. For a mom with gestational diabetes, some level of tracking may be necessary to manage her blood sugar (like monitoring her carbohydrate intake), but it depends on the woman.
Eating fewer carbohydrates generally means women will eat less refined grains, junk foods, and added sugars, leaving more room for nutrient-dense foods that provide a growing baby with essential nutrients. Before you cut out all carbs, know that there are a variety of carbohydrate foods that pregnant women should continue to eat, including vegetables, fruit, nuts, seeds, and if they are OK on your digestion, dairy and legumes.
Although I wrote my book for women with gestational diabetes, I know many midwives and doctors that suggest it to all of their moms to prevent complications (like gaining too much weight during pregnancy or iron-deficiency anemia) and ensure they are getting enough nutrients to promote optimal brain development.
Newer research is showing that even mildly elevated blood sugar levels (below the diagnostic threshold for gestational diabetes) can increase the risk of certain birth defects, including congenital heart defects, which is bringing a lot more attention to non-GD reasons to prioritize a lower-carb, real food way of eating.
For someone who has been diagnosed with GD, what are the first steps they should take right away and what resources do you recommend?
My book and online course of the same name, Real Food for Gestational Diabetes, are available if you need further guidance or support.
I believe that pregnancy is a wonderful opportunity, for many, to transform their relationship with food and develop new habits. What advice do you have for women during the postpartum period and beyond?
I completely agree. There's no better motivation than knowing that your baby is relying on you for nourishment. It's important to realize that nourishing yourself and taking care of your body is pretty much the only part of pregnancy that's within your control. It's both humbling and empowering.
As a mom myself, I know how challenging the postpartum period is (the "4th trimester" is a perfect description). I encourage moms to line up as much support to help with things like housework and meals, so they don't have to try to do it all alone. It's overwhelming and nearly impossible to get by without help. Think of easy, but healthy, meals to have on hand – either ones that are prepped in the freezer when you're too tired to cook or can be quickly thrown together (like freezing a pan of lasagna that uses zucchini for noodles or making a quick salad and topping it with a grass-fed beef burger patty and avocado).

Experts: If you hear thunder, seek shelter
Local News Top Stories July 25, 2017 Newsroom Staff jackson county, lightning safety, National Weather Service, oregon, thunderstorm
Monday's storm viewed from Lost Creek Lake (Photo: Army Corps of Engineers)
Jackson County, Ore. – With widespread thunderstorms expected in our area, experts are issuing a warning directed toward anyone out enjoying southern Oregon lakes and rivers.
The Army Corps of Engineers said while the storms are beautiful from a distance, they can also pose a serious hazard, as lightning strikes on water can send a deadly charge great distances.
If you're on the water and you hear thunder, it's time to head to shore and seek shelter.
According to the University of California, lighting can strike as far as 10 miles from the rain area of a thunderstorm, that's about as far away as you can hear thunder.
"Don't wait until the storm is overhead–by then it's too late and you've already put yourself and your family in danger," the Army Corps of Engineers wrote.
While no place is absolutely safe from lighting, the NWS said the safest location is a large enclosed building, not a picnic shelter or shed.
Stay away from any corded phone, computers or other equipment that could put you in direct contact with electricity.
The second best place is an enclosed metal vehicle.

A French startup has created wireless charging stickers that adhere to the backs of smartphones, tablets and drones, among other things, and can charge multiple devices at the same time on a single charging pad.
Energysquare, which was founded last year by two French entrepreneurs who had just graduated from an engineering school, launched a crowdfunding campaign today on Kickstarter hoping to raise $33,630 (€30,000) to ramp up manufacturing.
Energysquare's pad charges a mobile device enabled by its sticker technology.
Unlike today's most popular wireless chargers, which use electromagnetic induction, or resonance, to create a field through which electricity can pass between two copper coils - a transmitter and a receiver - Energysquare's technology uses electric conduction.
The thin, adhesive sticker has a tail that plugs into the mobile device's charging/data port with either a Lightning or Micro-USB connector. and even USB-C type connectors. The sticker contains two electrodes that are linked to the device's battery.
When the device is set on the surface of Energysquare's charging pad, which is made of conductive squares inlaid into an insulating material, the two electrodes are activated as soon as they're in contact with two different squares.
"We have designed the surface and the sticker so that you can put your phone in any position, the two electrodes will still be in contact with two different squares," Energysquare CEO Thibaut Guédou said in an email to Computerworld. "Hence, the surface detects the device and energy is sent to the battery. The charge is not made through [electromagnetic] induction but directly through the contact between the sticker and the surface."
Each of the charging pad's conductive squares are controlled independently by the company's embedded system, which allows the pad to charge multiple mobile devices with varying protocols. The charging pad becomes active once two squares are connected to a mobile device with a sticker. When the device is fully charged, the pad detects it and stops charging.
The charging pad's surface will automatically detect a foreign metal object or water and will not send any energy through it without a sticker, Guédou said.
"It is therefore possible to put any object on it and to wash it with water," Guédou said. "We've developed an open source standard to be compatible with all kinds of portable devices -- drones, wireless speakers, laptops, etc."
For about $44 (€39), early bird backers can receive a SquareOne charging pad and five charging stickers of their choosing, whether for an iPhone, Android phone or tablet. Backers can also receive a SquareTwo charging pad ($66), which has a larger surface area for more devices.
Energysquare's founders claim the conduction technology can charge with the same speed and efficiency as a traditional wall charger. All that's needed is to equip the smartphone or tablet (Android or Apple) with a small sticker, which has a tail that plugs into mobile devices via a lightning or micro-USB connector.
Energysquare offers its stickers in a variety of colors.
"The charge is made possible by the direct contact between the sticker and the [charger's] surface," Guédou said. "It took us two years to complete a working prototype but our technology is now fully functional."
Energysquare is not the first to look at conductive charging as a method for offering the "charging pad" experience, said David Green, research manager for power supplies and wireless power at IHS. "And it's a valid technology."
The most prominent example of conductive wireless charging is the version created by JVIS USA, which later started the Open Dots Alliance to try and move an open source specification of the technology into the automotive environment, Green said.
An in-vehicle wireless conductive phone charger from JVIS USA. This model is an aftermarket device sold on Mopar.com.
"But traction for this type of technology is certainly limited compared to [magnetic inductive wireless charging]," Green said.
Most electromagnetic inductive wireless charging technologies today require special charging cases, which have copper coils embedded in them to receive the electrical transmission.
The strongest demand, highest customer satisfaction rates, and biggest volume of wireless charging-enabled devices, however, are for a charger that's embedded in the mobile device, as it is with the Samsung Galaxy S6 and now S7, Green said.
"The whole idea is that you don't need to plug anything in, you just drop it on the pad and charge - there's no accessory," Green said. "Within the mobile phone space, the present and near-term future is clearly inductive - that's what [device manufacturers] are already integrating and the standard is either Qi or PMA (increasingly dual-mode to offer both)."
The next step in wireless charging will be magnetic resonant, which allows more loosely coupled charging, so that a device can be a short distance (millimeters) away from a charging device.
"That's expected soon and is already seeing some public infrastructure deployments of chargers in readiness," Green said.
The long-term future could then bring the introduction of uncoupled systems using Wi-Fi and other technologies.
The challenge for alternative wireless charging-pad technologies aiming toward mobile phones is that right now, there's no standard, Green said, and the technology would have to replace the incumbent technology of magnetic inductive charging.
Guédou, however, said unlike the most widespread technology today, induction charging, Energysquare's induction technology doesn't require a "tight coupling" with a charging pad, and users can simply drop their device anywhere on it and it will charge.
Additionally, Guédou said, Energysquare's conductive wireless charging loses far less energy (1% to 2%) than magnetic resonance. The average electromagnetic inductive charging technology has an efficiency rating of about 86%, meaning 14% of the energy is lost in transition.
Each individual square of the Energysquare's charging pad can deliver up to 25 watts of power.
"With the right power adapter, the small surface can deliver up to 200W," Guédou said. "Induction standards usually go up to 5W. The benefits are twofold: in the short term, we can put as many devices as needed on the same pad. In the medium term, we have the potential to charge every kind of electronic device: laptops, drones, wireless earphones, weather station, etc."
Energysquare's SquareOne charging pad charging multiple smartphones at the same time.
Regardless of what technologies may already be in the market, Guédou said Energysquare's is superior in that it addresses the issue that most of today's mobile devices don't have native wireless charging - and this is a simple solution.
"Our product development has been driven by the simple idea that our devices spend a lot of time on surfaces, so we want to make the most of that time," he said. "I think we can bring something completely different on the market."
This story, "This sticker can wirelessly charge your smartphone or tablet" was originally published by Computerworld.

Queen of Thrace (300–281) and Egypt (277–270). Arsinoe was the daughter of Ptolemy I and Berenice. At the age of sixteen she was married off to Lysimachus, who was nearly fifty years older than her. After Lysimachus death both of her sons were murdered, since they were a threat to the throne. She then wielded power who through her marriage to Ptolemy II of egypt.
CORNUCOPIAE. This , often recurring symbol of abundance, fertility, and happiness, is by some mythological writers identified with the horn of Amalthea, the nurse of Jupiter, and represented as issuing all the riches of nature and art. Some suggest that it was the horn which Hercules tore from the head of Archelous, in his encounter with that protean monster, and which the nymphs picked up and converted into the "horn of plenty".


Hello. My name is Birke Baehr, and I'm 11 years old. I came here today to talk about what's wrong with our food system. First of all, I would like to say that I'm really amazed at how easily kids are led to believe all the marketing and advertising on TV, at public schools and pretty much everywhere else you look. It seems to me like corporations are always trying to get kids like me to get their parents to buy stuff that really isn't good for us or the planet. Little kids, especially, are attracted by colorful packaging and plastic toys. I must admit, I used to be one of them. I also used to think that all of our food came from these happy, little farms where pigs rolled in mud and cows grazed on grass all day.
What I discovered was this is not true. I began to look into this stuff on the internet, in books and in documentary films, in my travels with my family. I discovered the dark side of the industrialized food system. First there's genetically engineered seeds and organisms. That is when a seed is manipulated in a laboratory to do something not intended by nature — like taking the DNA of a fish and putting it into the DNA of a tomato — yuck. Don't get me wrong, I like fish and tomatoes, but this is just creepy. (Laughter) The seeds are then planted, then grow. The food they produce have been proven to cause cancer and other problems in lab animals. And people have been eating food produced this way since the 1990's. And most folks don't even know they exist. Did you know rats that ate genetically engineered corn had developed signs of liver and kidney toxicity? These include kidney inflammation and lesions and increased kidney weight. Yet almost all the corn we eat is altered genetically in some way. And let me tell you, corn is in everything. And don't even get me started on the confined animal feeding operations. called CAFOS.
Conventional farmers use chemical fertilizers made from fossil fuels that they mix with the dirt to make plants grow. They do this because they've stripped the soil of all nutrients from growing the same crop over and over again. Next, more harmful chemicals are sprayed on fruits and vegetables, like pesticides and herbicides, to kill weeds and bugs. When it rains, these chemicals seep into the ground, or run off into our waterways, poisoning our water too. Then they irradiate our food, trying to make it last longer, so it can travel thousands of miles from where it's grown to the supermarkets.
So I ask myself, how can I change? How can I change these things? This is what I found out. I discovered that there's a movement for a better way. Now a while back, I wanted to be an NFL football player. I decided that I'd rather be an organic farmer instead. (Applause) Thank you. And that way I can have a greater impact on the world. This man, Joel Salatin, they call him a lunatic farmer because he grows against the system. Since I'm home schooled, I went to go hear him speak one day. This man, this lunatic farmer, doesn't use any pesticides, herbicides, or genetically modified seeds. And so for that, he's called crazy by the system.
I want you to know that we can all make a difference by making different choices, by buying our food directly from local farmers, or our neighbors who we've known all our lives. Some people say organic or local food is more expensive, but is it really? With all these things I've been learning about the food system, it seems to me that we either pay the farmer, or we can pay the hospital.


The Point Mallard Ducks survived a determined comeback attempt by the Sugar Land Imperials on the way to a 6-5 win.
A goal by Jake Cox put Point Mallard up 6-4 in the third period, but Sugar Land pulled to within one on Matthew Jung's tally 15:53 into the third period.
Cox had two goals to lead the Ducks to victory.
Point Mallard could not produce up to its normal offensive output. The Ducks put an average of 8.5 pucks into the net per game. Point Mallard struggled on the penalty kill, allowing the Imperials to score three power play goals on five chances.
Point Mallard also got points from Grant Dukus, who also registered one goal and two assists, Jaleel Rosemond, who also grabbed one goal and one assist, and Justin Clark, who also had one goal and one assist.

Denver's Defense is a Mess and It's Killing Their Chances of Contending
Posted on December 4, 2022 by Jordan Saville
The Denver Nuggets are on struggle street defensively. Their current rating is 114.4. The only teams with a worse rating are the Spurs, Pistons, Magic and Rockets.
Their poor defense is due to a number of factors…
1. NIKOLA JOKIC IS SICK OF EVERYONE'S SH*T.
Now of course, the man is still putting up MVP numbers. In their 121-106 loss against the Pelicans tonight he scored 32 points, 16 rebounds and nine assists but it seems as though shots he would have contested last season, he just isn't bothering with in 2023.
27-year-old Jokic had a defensive rating of 105.3 in 2021-22. His current defensive rating is 110.9 this season, which puts him outside the top 22 lead players in the league.
Other big men around the league like Brook Lopez (105.2), DeAndre Ayton (108.5) and Rudy Gobert (109.7) are inside that top 22.
In October this year, he had 9.0 defensive rebounds per game which was down to 7.2 in November, while on the offensive end, his rebounds were 2.1 in October and were 1.7 in November.
Compare that to last season, where his defensive rebounding was 11.8 in October and 10.3 in November. While offensive rebounds per game were totalled at 3.0 in October and 2.6 in November.
Unfortunately, carrying a whole team on your back for multiple seasons takes its toll. He's the team's leader in points, rebounds, assists and steals to start the season and no one else even comes close.
Jamal Murray is averaging 17.9 points, which is the second behind Jokic. Amazingly, power forward Aaron Gordon leads the team in blocks (0.9) while Jokic is second (0.6).
2. MURRAY IS USUALLY ONE OF THE WORST DEFENSIVE PLAYERS ON THE FLOOR
Murray missed the entirety of last season due to a torn ACL in his left knee which he suffered in a game against the Warriors last April and didn't play for 18 months, so of course he is going to be a bit rusty. But that certainly isn't helping things.
Murray has played in 17 of the Nugget's 23 games so far this season and has a defensive rating of 116.2. He scored 18 points, four rebounds and five assists against New Orleans.
He is averaging 3.2 rebounds per game, the sixth-best in the team and has the ninth-worst offensive rebounds per game (0.6) in the team and has a true shooting percentage of 53.6 this season.
Their second unit with DeAndre Jordan and Nah'Shon 'Bones' Hyland are pretty average on the defensive end and stagnant on offense. While head coach Michael Malone chooses to leave young players Christian Braun and Zeke Nnaji on the bench.
Tonight, Jordan (who played nearly all the minutes Jokic earned a rest) finished as a team-worst minus-19 in 8:40 of playing time.
The team finished tonight with a total of 22 assists against 19 turnovers. Jokic, Brown and Ish Smith finished with four turnovers each and even without Alvarado's 38-point haul, the Pels bench outscored the Nuggets' reserves 24-18.
3. THEY ADDED BRUCE BROWN, KENTAVIOUS CALDWELL-POPE AND GORDON, WHO ARE JUST NOT THERE DEFENSIVELY.
For the last two years they've struggled defensively but by adding good perimeter defenders, would you think they'd be better in this category?
Jose Alvarado tap-danced all over them tonight and a few days ago, the Hawks' Dejounte Murray and AJ Griffin were completely dominant.
Brown is playing 30 minutes and getting 4.5 rebounds and 0.5 blocks, while KCP is averaging 3.0 rebounds and 0.4 blocks but Gordon has the second best rebounding average (6.6) behind Jokic.
On the offensive end, Caldwell-Pope's stretch of games scoring less than ten points is at five and as well, he was the only starter not to score in double figures in the loss.
After seeing the stats their opponents are putting up after every Nuggets game, their perimeter defense needs to improve.
It will be interesting to see whether they can make it out of the west this season.

Mieczysław Stanisław Rycharski ps. "Białynia", "Roman" (ur. 10 stycznia 1901 w Warszawie, zm. 9 kwietnia 1965 w Szczecinie) – polski wojskowy, podkomisarz Straży Granicznej, po II wojnie światowej współpracownik Głównego Zarządu Informacji Ludowego Wojska Polskiego, kawaler Orderu Virtuti Militari.

Życiorys
Urodził się 10 stycznia 1901 w Warszawie. Był synem Stanisława Rycharskiego i Heleny z d. Poderni. Jego ojciec pracował jako buchalter, matka była córką Mieczysława Poderni, pułkownika lekarza armii rosyjskiej i siostrą Władysława (1861–1928), generała brygady Wojska Polskiego. Był bratem Lucjana Ludwika (1902–1977), inżyniera, podporucznika kawalerii rezerwy Wojska Polskiego.

W 1910 rozpoczął naukę w Korpusie Kadetów w Symbirsku, następnie został przeniesiony do Korpusu Kadetów im. Suworowa w Moskwie. Tam zastał go wybuch rewolucji październikowej. 11 listopada 1918 wstąpił do Wojska Polskiego. Służył w 3 Pułku Ułanów Śląskich. Walczył jako dowódca plutonu w wojnie polsko-bolszewickiej, za co został odznaczony Krzyżem Walecznych i Orderem Virtuti Militari.

W 1922 został zdemobilizowany, przez dwa lata pracował jako praktykant w majątkach ziemskich w Poznańskiem, następnie zamieszkał w Nowogródku, gdzie pracował w starostwie powiatowym jako referent, następnie kierownik referatu odbudowy zniszczeń wojennych. 17 marca 1926 prezydent RP mianował do podporucznikiem rezerwy ze starszeństwem z 1 lipca 1925 i 232. lokatą w korpusie oficerów kawalerii. W 1928 wstąpił do Straży Granicznej, przeszedł szkolenie wywiadowcze, odbył też kurs oficerski. W 1934, jako oficer rezerwy pozostawał w ewidencji Powiatowej Komendy Uzupełnień Sambor. Posiadał przydział do Oficerskiej Kadry Okręgowej Nr X. Był wówczas w grupie oficerów "pełniących służbę w Straży Granicznej".

Jednak już w czerwcu 1942 został od swoich obowiązków odsunięty, a w sierpniu 1942 zwolniony od swoich obowiązków.

Henri Bergson was a French philosopher and one of the most influential thinkers of the 20th Century. Bergson was born in Paris on October 18, 1859. He obtained a degree in philosophy and mathematics from the Ècole Normale in Paris. He began studying science, but was soon captivated by the idea that science couldn't provide all the answers he was interested in. Bergson realized that the scope of science is limited to quantifiable knowledge. It occurred to Bergson that there are many experiences that cannot be quantified, such as thoughts, perceptions, conscience, creativity, freedom, and life. These are qualitative, rather than quantitative concepts. One way to think of this is by considering time. Scientifically, time is a series of instances, each no different from the other. But daily experience proves otherwise: sometimes, time seems to pass quickly. At other times it drags. Each moment seems distinct from the other.
To understand the qualitative side of life, Bergson proposed that people use intuition rather than science. He understood intuition as the harmony between man and objects, which we perceive through their essence. Intuition, then, is an understanding of life through experience and not solely through intellectual efforts. In his most famous work, Creative Evolution , Bergson extended this analysis to the whole universe. He proposed that consciousness begins with a supreme élan vital, or vital impetus [élan vital = vital impetus]. The fragmentation of this original impulse brought forth different forms of life. At the time, Charles Darwin's evolutionary theories were beginning to catch on. Darwin asserted that evolution is brought about by natural selection, a process through which life forms adapt to their environment, survive and flourish. Bergson didn't agree. For him, life did not follow an ordered, rational path. It was an explosive power based on a blind and irrational impetus which science alone could not explain.
It was difficult for Bergson's theories to gain acceptance in the positivism-dominated academic world of the time. In 1899 he obtained a professorship at the "Collège de France". In later years his ideas gained more acceptance and he was in high demand as a lecturer worldwide. The importance he put on the creative act drew the attention of many artists. Marcel Proust, whose cousin Louise Neuberger Bergson had married, voiced a particular appreciation for Bergson. Bergson himself considered literature the ideal instrument to investigate the world of the spirit. In 1927, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. Henri Bergson died in Paris on January 4, 1941. He was 81. His studies of the inner world had influenced Freudian and Jungian psychoanalysis, and his criticism of science was continued through Husserl's phenomenology.

mlr vs brh Match Prediction & Analysis
Melbourne Renegades pulled off a sensational win in their last game against Melbourne Stars and would be still reeling from its effects. While that victory still hasn't helped them move up from the bottom of the table, it must have given them the confidence to finish the season on a high. Their next clash is against Brisbane Heat at home who are not in the greatest of forms but have already beaten Renegades once this season. They are coming off two back-to-back losses that have pushed them to the 7th spot on the table and hence badly need this win or they might slip out from the Playoffs race.
Melbourne Renegades Preview
This has been a forgettable season for Melbourne Renegades where they have not been able to push themselves up from the bottom position. 3 wins in 12 matches at a net run rate of -1.964 doesn't make for good reading. However, the Renegades will be delighted that they clinched a terrific 5-wicket win against the Melbourne Stars in their previous game. While chasing a target of 159, the Renegades were reeling at 97-5 in 15.3 overs but a late heist orchestrated by Mackenzie Harvey (47* off 21 balls) and Beau Webster (22* off 9 balls) helped the team push past their rivals just three days after losing to them.
Now, the Renegades would hope they can achieve something similar against Brisbane Heat. Shaun Marsh (272 runs) and Sam Harper (275 runs) have been their most notable batsmen throughout the season and the team would depend on them. And all eyes would be on Mackenzie Harvey too.
On the bowling front, Zak Evans and Peter Hatzoglou excelled in the last game. Spinner Imad Wasim and Josh Lalor did a fine job too. But they might need the experience of Kane Richardson again even though he's been expensive.
Melbourne Renegades Predicted Playing XI:
Aaron Finch (c), Shaun Marsh, Sam Harper (wk), Jake Fraser-McGurk, Mackenzie Harvey, Beau Webster, Imad Wasim, Jack Prestwidge, Josh Lalor/ Kane Richardson, Zak Evans, Peter Hatzoglou

Brisbane Heat Preview
A couple of weeks back, Brisbane Heat was looking good to make it to the Playoff stage. However, they have lost 3 of their last 4 games that has made them slip to the 7th spot on the table with 21 points and a net run rate of -0.479. What really hurt their cause is to back-to-back big losses – by 59 runs against Perth Scorchers and by 82 runs against Adelaide Strikers.
Brisbane's batting has been the main culprit in the last two games and managed exactly 115 runs while chasing big targets. They are overwhelmingly dependent on captain Chris Lynn who has been the leading run-getter of the season for the team with 317 runs. However, the likes of Joe Denly, Joe Burns, and Lewis Gregory would really need to step up. Max Bryant (273 runs) has been another dependable performer who has to click. The return of Marnus Labuschagne should also help Brisbane.
Brisbane's bowling has been quite disappointing recently. With Mujeeb Ur Rahman gone, the unit suddenly looks hollow and is conceding plenty of runs. Mark Steketee, the leading wicket-taker of the season for the team with 19 wickets, has gone over 10 an over on the last two games and really needs to be better. Xavier Bartlett and Morne Morkel could be the main bowlers to watch out for.
Brisbane Heat Predicted Playing XI:
Joe Burns, Chris Lynn (c), Joe Denly, Marnus Labuschagne, Lewis Gregory, Jimmy Peirson (wk), Jack Wildermuth, Mark Steketee, Xavier Bartlett, Mitchell Swepson, Max Bryant

The pitch at the Docklands Stadium in Melbourne is an even one. Both batsmen and bowlers will find something here for themselves. Over the years, fast bowlers generally get some good purchase here in the initial overs. Spinners too have had a good record here and don't go for many runs.
The weather forecast at Melbourne for the day of the game is clear.
The Docklands Stadium in Melbourne isn't exactly a high-scoring venue. The average score by the team batting first on the venue in the last few years has been around 150-160. The Renegades too chased down a target of 159 here a few days ago. Hence, the team batting first would have to target a total of around 165-175 to be in the driver's seat.
The team winning the toss would look to bowl first as chasing teams have had a better record here in recent times.
MLR vs BRH
The last time Melbourne Renegades and Brisbane Heat met was earlier this season at Canberra where the Heat registered a comfortable 5-wicket win while chasing a target of 150. However, in the last 5 games between the two sides, the Renegades have 3 victories. Moreover, they will be playing at home which should give them a slight advantage. That being said, Brisbane Heat will be a tough challenge despite their recent poor form. If Chris Lynn, especially, gets going, they would be impossible to stop. Given how inconsistent the Renegades have been this season, Brisbane Heat will begin as favorites for this clash.

Often, this service is free of charge after major breaches (e.g., Equifax, Anthem) when social security numbers (SSNs) have been exposed.
Credit monitoring doesn't restrict your access to your credit file.
Credit monitoring is reactive. You're notified after unauthorized activity has occurred.
You must entrust another company with your SSN.
Only credit is monitored; other accounts are not.
A fraud alert is a cautionary note that you can have placed on your credit report. It tells credit lenders or service providers that you may have been a victim of identity theft, so they must verify with you before making changes to your credit. For example, if you apply for a credit card while you have a fraud alert in place, the credit card company may call you to verify that you were the one who submitted the application. Verification usually happens over the phone, but there is no standard means of verification defined by law.
Fraud alerts come in two flavors: initial fraud alerts, which last one year, and extended fraud alerts, which extend that time to seven years. To implement an extended fraud alert, you're required to file an identity theft report with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) first.
Fraud alerts are free and easy to set up.
You can submit a request to one major credit bureau, which will notify the other two.
Fraud alerts don't restrict your access to your credit file.
The verification process isn't clearly defined by law.
Verification could delay credit changes.
This tool freezes credit files so that no one—including the individual who placed the freeze (i.e., you)—can open a new line of credit. Therefore, before opening a new line of credit, you would need to unfreeze your credit file using a personal identification number (PIN) provided by the credit bureau.
A security freeze is the most effective preventive measure because, without the PIN, no changes can be made to a credit file.
As of September 2018, credit freezes are free to implement in all 50 states.
The application process requires a separate submission to each credit bureau.
A freeze restricts access to your own credit. You must unfreeze it to allow changes.
It doesn't restrict access to existing accounts; fraudulent activity can still occur in those.
Identity theft protection services provide a suite of helpful tools and resources in one package. The better services offer real-time credit monitoring at all three major bureaus, customized account alerts for more than just credit, and a 24/7 call center.
These services combine the benefits of other tools (e.g., credit monitoring) in one place.
If 24/7 support is available, it can guide you through the steps to mitigate the situation at any time.
Some services can monitor other accounts, not just credit files.
These services can be costly.
Quality may vary. Before subscribing, be sure to perform due diligence.
Most vendors won't help with theft that occurred before you subscribed to their services.
A great starting point for victims of identity theft is identitytheft.gov. By following the site's simple prompts, you can select your identity theft situation, access guidance and resources specific to you, and file identity theft reports with the FTC.
Change account passwords for all accounts that may have been compromised.
Ensure that your passwords are unique for each account. That way, if one account is compromised, the attackers potentially can't access your other accounts.
Enable multifactor authentication, which asks users to provide more than one form of identification to log into accounts. For example, in addition to entering a password, you would be prompted to access something you have, such as a smartphone or hardware token.
If you suspect that your e-mail accounts have been hacked, review the mail-forwarding rules and delete any you don't recognize. Attackers often add forwarding rules so that when accounts send or receive certain e-mails, the e-mails are forwarded—even after you've regained access and changed your passwords.


Mangalore the major port city of Karnataka is located at a distance of 350 Kms from Bangalore. Mangalore is surrounded by mountains of western ghats on the east & Arabian Sea on the west.
It is believed that the city derived its name from the temple of Goddess Mangaladevi. Mangaluru literally means the city of Mangala According to legend Matsyendranatha, one of the important propounders of the Nath cult had arrived at Mangalore with the princess of Kerala, Premaladevi. He named her Mangaladevi. It is believed that they could not proceed further as Mangaladevi died after a brief period of illness and a temple was consecrated in her name at Bolar. Later the Mangaladevi was renovated by the Alupa king Kundavarma in 968 AD.
By Air : Mangalore has a domestic Airport which is 9 kms. away.
By Rail : Mangalore has a railway station with in the city and is linked by rail other cities in India.
By Road : Mangalore is well connected by KSRTC & Private bus services. It is connected to all major cities nearby.

How do "Guaranteed" Equity Bonds Work?
Guaranteed equity bonds offer assurance against loss in the long run. The term "equity bond" is a bit confusing. A bond typically implies no equity is at stake, whereas a stock uses equity. An equity bond mixes the two concepts. It tracks a given stock index, and it pays out based on the growth in that index over time. Guaranteed equity bonds add an additional component. The issuers of these bonds promise to repay the debt or a portion of the debt regardless of the performance of the bond.
Guaranteed equity bonds are offered by private corporations, investment houses and even hedge funds. They often serve as an alternative to buying into a mutual fund or CD with a traditional investment house. The main advantage of a guaranteed equity bond is limited exposure to risk. This low risk level appeals to some novice investors would like to start engaging the equity markets but are afraid of aggregated risk exposures inherent in the equity markets. With the guarantee on these bonds, these investors will not have to take the risk in order to step into the market. They are never actually purchasing any equity itself. Instead, they are purchasing a bond from a corporation that will go purchase the equities, or other equities.
A bond, by definition, cannot fail to pay the initial investor. A guaranteed bond takes this one step further, providing the ultimate payoff as a definitive number up front. For example, a guaranteed equity bond (GEB) may promise 50% return regardless of market performance. If the bond is issued at $100 for a 5-year maturity, the investor is guaranteed to receive at least $50 in return, even if the investment ultimately fails completely. This is still not a gain, but it is protection from total loss.
The term guaranteed tricks many investors into thinking there is a guaranteed profit, which is rarely the case. In fact, few GEBs actually promise to repay the initial investment 100%. In the example above, the investor still lost 50% of her investment. Even in the cases where 100% return is promised, this does not compensate for inflation, which can greatly negate any earnings over time.
Even though the guarantee does not promise full safety, it is still extremely costly. GEB products rarely provide dividends during the time they are active. Further, just as losses promise to be moderate, earnings are often moderate as well. Even if the stock index a GEB is tracking goes up substantially over time, an investor does not make an amount equal to this gain. Instead, the gain is often calculated as an average gain over the life of the GEB. Ultimately, this means the GEB will typically post returns reflecting total market swings during the time it is active. The investor may have been wide in electing certain equities, but their sharp growth in his portfolio is countered by the moderate growth of other equities in the GEB.

Q: Conditions for renormalization of effective potential Currently I am reading Das' Finite Temperature Field Theory. After computing the first order correction to the potential with a cut-off (eq. 6.77) Das states that, "we add counterterms and renormalize our theory by demanding that the renormalized mass and the coupling constant of the theory up to one loop are given by"
\begin{equation}
\left. \frac{d^2 V(\phi_c)}{d\phi_c^2}\right|_{\phi_c = 0} = m^2
\end{equation}
\begin{equation}
\left. \frac{d^4 V(\phi_c)}{d\phi_c^4}\right|_{\phi_c = 0} = \lambda
\end{equation}
where $V$ is the classical potential, $\phi_c$ is the classical field and $V^0 = (m^2/2)\phi^2 + (\lambda/4!)\phi^4$.
Why is this the case? Are these condition equivalent to the 'renormalization conditions' on pg. 325 of Peskin and Schroeder? Is this standard procedure for renormalization?

Why Afghanistan will be a huge deal in the 2016 election
By Zack Beauchamp@zackbeauchamp May 29, 2014, 1:05pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Why Afghanistan will be a huge deal in the 2016 election
Aref Karimi/AFP/Getty Images
For most of the Obama administration, there's been pretty broad bipartisan support for his policy in Afghanistan, from his 2009 surge to his more recent decision to draw down and to withdraw entirely by the end of 2016. As his presidency nears its end, though, that political consensus looks like it's disintegrating — and may well make Afghanistan into one of the most important foreign policy issues in the 2016 election.
Marco rubio has said "the security of our cities is connected to the security of small hamlets in Afghanistan"
The last two days have cast the die. On Tuesday, Obama announced a new withdrawal timeline for Afghanistan that would remove virtually all American troops by 2016. That means that US troops will be withdrawing from America's longest war in the middle of the hottest parts of the 2016 election cycle. The Democratic candidates for president will, without a doubt, defend the decision to withdraw: their primary voters support the withdrawal and have no interest in a candidate pledging more US military involvement.
Moreover, Obama's foreign policy address on Wednesday defined the Democratic policy foreign agenda in, by American standards, fairly restrained terms. Leading Democrats — especially former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton — will be boxed in to defending Obama's foreign policy vision, or at least their shared record. And Obama has been polling very poorly on foreign policy for almost a year:
Add that all up, and what do you have? A Democratic field defending an unpopular foreign policy president who has defined his own agenda by otherwise popular military drawdowns. Meanwhile, one of the two largest troop withdrawals of Obama's presidency will be hitting its final stages then. It's quite possible you'll start to see major Taliban offensives in 2015 and early 2016, when the US military presence will be down to about a quarter of its 2014 strength.
This is catnip for Republicans running on an aggressive foreign policy agenda. People like Senator Marco Rubio, who once said "the security of our cities is connected to the security of small hamlets in Afghanistan," will almost certainly take the opportunity to bash what they see as Democratic weakness. Rubio and the even-more hawkish Governor Chris Christie will point to violence in Afghanistan as evidence that Democrats can't be trusted to defend American interests abroad.
Rand Paul, the sole Republican non-interventionist likely to run, will be isolated by this debate. The Kentucky senator, who's already unlikely to win the primary, is on record pushing for a faster withdrawal from Afghanistan than the one Obama offered. That's not the direction Republican primary audiences want to tack; when Democrats are defending withdrawal, they'll want Republicans to attack it. That's the way elections work: see Mitt Romney's strenuous efforts to attack Obama on foreign affairs despite virtually no substantive differences between the two men.
You can already see the hawkish critique on Afghanistan shaping up. The chairman and vice chairman of the House Armed Services Committee both argued that Obama's withdrawal would allow al-Qaeda to return to Afghanistan, potentially enabling another 9/11-style attack. And they're not the only ones preemptively litigating the issue:
"[A]bandoning Afghanistan…would undermine the hard won gains of our armed forces who have sacrificed so much to protect our country…"
— Senator Bob Corker (@SenBobCorker) May 27, 2014
Pres Obama's plan won't provide stability America's servicemembers & their families deserve by announcing cuts this far ahead #Afghanistan
— Senator Roy Blunt (@RoyBlunt) May 27, 2014
Are GOP candidates really going to run on the premise that we should stay in Afghanistan longer??
— David Axelrod (@davidaxelrod) May 28, 2014
Moreover, the institutions that shape Republican foreign policy — think tanks, conservative magazines, and the like — are overwhelmingly hawkish. Every report from the Heritage Foundation or National Review editorial castigating Democratic fecklessness on Afghanistan will help build internal momentum for the hawkish Republican case in the primary and the general.
This isn't to say that the Republicans will win on Afghanistan in 2016. Voters typically don't care that much about foreign policy when American troops aren't in harm's way. What's more, Americans have gotten increasingly skeptical of the Afghanistan war:
The point, rather, is simpler. The withdrawal timetable, combined with the basic incentives of partisan politics, mean that Republicans are likely to make a big fuss about the Afghanistan withdrawal during the 2016 electoral cycle. And they'll be hitting Democrats from the hawkish right.


UPDATE – See what my Franz Josef Glacier hike was like and get some tips.
Well, score one for my wife. She uncovered a very first-rate adventure someplace I didn't even notice. During my New Zealand planning, I'd completely ignored Franz Josef Glacier. Big mistake! Fortunately, she was there to bail me out with a great discovery.
So, what's so cool about it? I mean, glaciers aren't exactly the speed demons of the geological world. Well, how do blue ice, ice caves, crevasses and stunning views sound to you? Yeah, they sound pretty awesome to me.
I booked us a tour with Franz Josef Glacier Guides. The question was … which one? They have a lot of tours available, everywhere from two hours and up.
In other words, don't do it halfway. Get out on the ice, and stay awhile. Get high up there and see the blue ice caves! Right on, then. I'd bet on this to be one of the high points of the trip.
Stand by for a full review upon my return!
I wish I could take credit for them! I will have some of my own in just a few weeks. I hope I can do just as well!

ModelMayhem.com is a website I used to use quite a bit for arranging shoots with models when I was in the south Florida region. One girl I had met, lived in Boca Raton as well, and we would try and shoot whenever our schedules allowed. Most of the time the shoots would get planned an hour or two before they actually took place. This shot was taken on a random Tuesday afternoon with an hour's notice in the front yard of a house across the street from her boyfriend's house. For this shot I wanted to compress the space of the gates and garden and background shed and had positioned myself a far distance from her using my 100-400 zoomed in. The day was perfectly overcast and gave a beautiful flat light even in heavy foliage. Knaj and I shot together a little over half a dozen times in the course of a 3 month period before I relocated back to Canada. Knaj was one of my favourite models to work with as there were always a lot of laughter. She was the little sister I never had and I am grateful to have spent the time working with and getting to know her. The people I have met over the years while traveling around taking pictures and doing my artwork, have allowed me to grow in ways I never imagined.


When most people think of animation companies, they think of the entertainment and media industries. However, animation is being used in many different industries, from business and advertising to medicine, science, and education. Austin Visuals is an animation agency offering a broad range of services for commercial & industrial animation.
Animation is used for a variety of purposes in a range of industries that are not related to entertainment or media. From 3D animation in education to animated videos for business and medicine, animation can be an effective tool for communication.
Medical animation is used to convey information to many different audiences, from medical professionals to patients. In medicine, animation is often used to create short educational films on a specific topic using 3D animation. These educational films can be helpful for explaining a medical procedure to a reluctant patient or educating the next generation of medical providers.
In education, animation is used to increase interest and motivation for learning in students. Educational films have long been used in education, but using animated videos captures the attention of stents and increases interest, which helps students retain new or difficult information. This technique is used at all levels of education, from kindergarten through college.
Animation is used by businesses and communities in land development, architecture, and city planning. An animated movie can be computer generated to show buildings, landscapes, and moving vehicles. This can be useful for everything from designing custom homes to making road improvements.
In business and manufacturing, animation plays a key role in creating new products and explaining them to customers. When developing new products, manufacturers use computer animation to reduce the costs of making physical test models to experiment with a new design, idea, or concept. This saves time and money by reducing development costs and bringing new products to the market faster.
Companies use animated video for training employees and educating customers. Once a new product has been developed, product explainer videos using 3D animation can be used to demonstrate the product to potential customers. A growing number of companies are using animation in their content for training for new and existing employees. When a training module is content heavy or confusing, animation can help engage the audience and make complex ideas easier to understand.
Forensics experts and law enforcement agencies use animation to recreate incidents, accidents, and other situations. Along with still photographs, audio-visual aids, and other traditional techniques used in investigations, computer animation can be a helpful tool for investigators to solve cases. This is often less time consuming, and safer, than attempting to recreate the incident at the scene.
Whether your purpose is to educate, inform, or compel your audience, animated video content provides an effective tool that serves many purposes in business, industry, education, medicine, law enforcement, and many other fields. An experienced animation agency can explain the benefits of animation in your situation and work with you to create a compelling and captivating video for your target audience.

YubiKey 5 NFC your key to Safety
The internet was intended for sharing global information, and security was a non-issue. As it has evolved and scaled to a mayor part of our everyday lives—so have the criminals. Today, 3.8 billion email accounts, login credentials are being compromised every day. Because of this stunning number of global users, data has become more than just numbers and statistics. All data on the internet, is in a way a valuable set of information about economic projects, security and private data such as, names, date of birth, social security numbers and your ( faulty assumption ) personal email. Your assumption that your email is a private matter is true, but millions of people are faced with hacked data and subsequently loose their anonymity on the internet and face massive problems. Problems that could lead to personality theft and huge financial problems, as most people don't use password managers and/or safe places for their precious data.
On top of all this, most people use only 'one password' to cover all their logins from email to government or business related access. Security is underestimated by millions, which makes the internet a great place for fraud and hackings. I guess almost everybody's email address has been compromised in some way ( mine does as well ), as we all have a gmail account, or subscriptions of a newspaper or others. You may sometimes even receive an email from your host warning you about a hack that has taken place and your data, credit card is stolen. Welcome to the club !

HOW DOES TWO FACTOR AUTHENTICATION WORK
YubiKey 5 NFC, stops account takeovers, and offers password-less and modern multifactor authentication. You should get the world's leading security key for superior security, user experience and return on investment. YubiKey's, primary role is as a second factor of authentication. In practice, Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) needs you to do a second thing after entering your password to prove it's you / ownership. The basic theory behind '2FA', is combining two different systems of authentication from a list of three:
Authentication factors, listed in approximate order of adoption for computing, include the following:
A knowledge factor is something the user knows, such as a password, a PIN (personal identification number) or some other type of shared secret.
A possession factor is something the user has, such as an ID card, a security token, a cellphone, a mobile device or a smartphone app, to approve authentication requests.
An inherence factor, more commonly called a biometric factor, is something inherent in the user's physical self. These may be personal attributes mapped from physical characteristics, such as fingerprints authenticated through a fingerprint reader. Other commonly used inherence factors include facial and voice recognition. They also include behavioral biometrics, such as keystroke dynamics, gait or speech patterns.
(source: https://searchsecurity.techtarget.com/definition/two-factor-authentication)
For example: a 'password', is something you know, and it should be remembered (or stored in password manager / Dashlane). Biometrics—like fingerprint scans, retina scans, heart signatures, and so on—count as something you 'are'. Yubico YubiKeys and their ilk are something you 'have'. The later YubiKey 5 has evolved in years and at this moment is a world leader in 2FA keys. It's that good, that Google also entered this market and created their TiTan version being a competitor from now on.
YubiKey 5 Series is able to do much more.
use it as a smartcard to log in to my desktop computer.
use it log in to SSH servers.
generate a PGP key and then use the YubiKey to sign or authenticate.

body condition, NEFA, perirenal fat thickness, rabbit
The present work was performed to examine the relationships between measures of body condition and energy mobilization in rabbit does. The variables studied were body weight (BW), perirenal fat thickness (PFT), basal non-esterified fatty acid concentration (NEFAb) and non-esterified fatty acids after lipolysis stimulation by isoproterenol (NEFAr). The effect of time of measuring (at mating, delivery and 10 d after delivery) was estimated in 157 primiparous does. Correlations between body condition components were estimated and a principal component analysis performed. The does decreased BW (6%) and PFT (3%), and increased NEFAb (25%) and NEFAr (16%) from mating to delivery. Later, NEFAb and NEFAr decreased around 20% from delivery to 10 d after delivery without changing perirenal fat thickness. All BW and PFT lay in the first principal component, and all NEFA traits lay in the second component, showing low correlations with body condition measurements. Both NEFA traits showed high positive correlations when measured at the same time (0.65, 0.72 and 0.69), but low correlations when measured at different times (0.09, to 0.20). We conclude that although body weight and perirenal fat thickness are good predictors of body condition, NEFA should be used when an accurate measurement of energetic mobilization is needed, due to their low correlation.

Because no candidate received more than 50 percent of the total votes cast in the regular municipal election for District 4 City Councilor and District 6 City Councilor, a runoff election is necessary.
The runoff election will be held between 35 days to 45 days following the canvass of the regular election. The runoff election date has been set by vote of the Rio Rancho Governing Body to take place on April 17, 2012.
Of the 51,724 registered voters who could have cast a ballot in the March 6, 2012, Rio Rancho regular municipal election, 5,010 or 9.68 percent voted.
The March 6, 2012, election results were canvassed by 13th Judicial District Court Judge John F. Davis and certified as official on Friday, March 9, 2012. View official canvassing document (searchable PDF).
Through the canvassing process, which is in place to ensure the accuracy of election results, numbers have been updated from the unofficial election results reported on Election Day.
The difference in the unofficial and official result numbers is due to data input errors in the election returns spreadsheet.
The data input errors did not change the outcome of the City Council contests or passage of all nine of the Charter amendment proposition questions.
At 6 p.m. on Monday, March 12, 2012, at Rio Rancho City Hall, Chuck Wilkins will be officially sworn in and take office as District 1 City Councilor. The public is invited to attend the ceremony.
