The phrase "you are what you eat" is halfway accurate. The end truth is you are what you digest. Therefore, are digestive enzymes key to better digestion, gut health and nutrient absorption?
Surprising as it may seem, up until relatively recently, little was known about how your digestive system actually works. Today, there's a growing incidence of illnesses that, when traced back to the source, appear to be linked to nutrient malabsorption due to a lack of digestive enzymes.
Why are enzymes for digestion important in avoiding illness? The role of digestive enzymes is primarily to act as catalysts in speeding up specific, life-preserving chemical reactions in the body. Essentially, they help break down larger molecules into more easily absorbed particles that the body can actually use to survive and thrive.
What Are Digestive Enzymes? What Do Digestive Enzymes Do?
All enzymes are catalysts that enable molecules to be changed from one form into another. The digestive enzymes definition is "enzymes that are used in the digestive system." These enzymes help break down large macromolecules found in the foods we eat into smaller molecules that our guts are capable of absorbing, thus supporting gut health and making sure the nutrients are delivered to the body.
Digestive enzymes are split into three classes: proteolytic enzymes that are needed to digest protein, lipases needed to digest fat and amylases needed to digest carbohydrates. There are various types of digestive enzymes found in humans, some of which include:
Amylase — Found in saliva and pancreatic juice and works to break large starch molecules into maltose. Needed to break down carbohydrates, starches and sugars, which are prevalent in basically all plant foods (potatoes, fruits, vegetables, grains, etc.).
Pepsin — Which enzyme breaks down protein? Found in the gastric juice within your stomach, pepsin helps break down protein into smaller units called polypeptides.
Lipase — Made by your pancreas and secreted into your small intestine. After mixing with bile, helps digest fats and triglycerides into fatty acids. Needed to digest fat-containing foods like dairy products, nuts, oils, eggs and meat.
Trypsin and chymotrypsin — These endopeptidases further break down polypeptides into even smaller pieces.
Cellulase — Helps digest high-fiber foods like broccoli, asparagus and beans, which can cause excessive gas.
Exopeptidases, carboxypeptidase and aminopeptidase — Help release individual amino acids.
Lactase — Breaks the sugar lactose into glucose and galactose.
Sucrase — Cleaves the sugar sucrose into glucose and fructose.
Maltase — Reduces the sugar maltose into smaller glucose molecules.
Other enzymes that break down sugar/carbs like invertase, glucoamylase and alpha-glactosidase.
How do digestive enzymes work? Digestion is a complex process that first begins when you chew food, which releases enzymes in your saliva. Most of the work happens thanks to gastrointestinal fluids that contain digestive enzymes, which act on certain nutrients (fats, carbs or proteins). We make specific digestive enzymes to help with absorption of different types of foods we eat. In other words, we make carbohydrate-specific, protein-specific and fat-specific enzymes.
Digestive enzymes aren't just beneficial — they're essential. They turn complex foods into smaller compounds, including amino acids, fatty acids, cholesterol, simple sugars and nucleic acids (which help make DNA). Enzymes are synthesized and secreted in different parts of your digestive tract, including your mouth, stomach and pancreas.
Below is an overview of the six-step digestive process, starting with chewing, that triggers digestive enzyme secretion in your digestive tract:
Salivary amylase released in the mouth is the first digestive enzyme to assist in breaking down food into its smaller molecules, and that process continues after food enters the stomach.
The parietal cells of the stomach are then triggered into releasing acids, pepsin and other enzymes, including gastric amylase, and the process of degrading the partially digested food into chyme (a semifluid mass of partly digested food) begins.
Stomach acid also has the effect of neutralizing the salivary amylase, allowing gastric amylase to take over.
After an hour or so, the chyme is propelled into the duodenum (upper small intestine), where the acidity acquired in the stomach triggers the release of the hormone secretin.
That, in turn, notifies the pancreas to release hormones, bicarbonate, bile and numerous pancreatic enzymes, of which the most relevant are lipase, trypsin, amylase and nuclease.
The bicarbonate changes the acidity of the chyme from acid to alkaline, which has the effect of not only allowing the enzymes to degrade food, but also killing bacteria that are not capable of surviving in the acid environment of the stomach.
At this point, for people without digestive enzyme insufficiency (lack of digestive enzymes), most of the work is done. For others, supplementation is needed and helps this process along. This can even be true for pets, since there are several benefits of digestive enzymes for dogs, digestive enzymes for cats and for other animals too.
Best Digestive Enzymes Benefits
What are the benefits of digestive enzymes? The answer is simple: Without them, we couldn't process food. With that said, there are three main reasons why many people should take digestive enzymes:
Help treat leaky gut and other conditions like celiac disease by taking stress off the gastrointestinal tract.
Assist the body in breaking down difficult-to-digest protein and sugars like gluten, casein and lactose (milk sugar).
Greatly improve symptoms of acid reflux and irritable bowel syndrome.
Enhance nutrition absorption and prevent nutritional deficiency.
Counteract enzyme inhibitors naturally in foods like peanuts, wheat germ, egg whites, nuts, seeds, beans and potatoes.
You might be wondering, do digestive enzymes help you lose weight or burn fat, and will digestive enzymes help with constipation? If you're not making enough digestive enzymes to help the digestive process unfold smoothly, it's possible you'll experience constipation that may improve when you supplement. However, enzymes are generally not linked to weight loss and are not intended for this purpose — although eating a healthy diet that supports natural enzyme production may lower inflammation and help you reach a healthier weight. Thus, digestive enzyme weight loss benefits are not necessarily from the enzymes themselves, but from eat healthier overall.
It's also possible that digestive enzyme supplements may help curb your cravings and allow you to feel satisfied with less food, helping you to consume an appropriate amount of calories.
Best Digestive Enzymes Sources
Many raw plants, such as raw fruits and vegetables, contain enzymes that aid in their digestion. For example, pineapple, papaya, apples and many other plants contain beneficial enzymes, but when these foods are grown in depleted soils or are highly processed, enzymes likely are lacking or destroyed.
Digestive enzyme supplements are derived mostly from three sources:
Fruit-sourced — usually pineapple– or papaya-based. Bromelain is an enzyme derived from pineapple that breaks down a broad spectrum of proteins, has anti-inflammatory properties and can withstand a broad pH (acidic/alkaline) range. Papain is another enzyme that's derived from raw papaya and works well to support the breakdown of small and large proteins.
Animal-sourced — including pancreatin sourced from ox or hog.
Plant-sourced — derived from probiotics, yeast and fungi.
What are natural digestive enzymes? Many digestive enzymes available on the market are "natural" because they are sourced from plants or animals. Products in the digestive enzyme range can present a dizzying array of ingredients, which can make it hard to know what the best digestive enzymes supplements are. The bottom line is that the "best digestive enzymes" differ from person to person, since enzymes are nutrient-specific and help with absorption of different foods. Thus, the best enzymes can vary from person to person — though natural enzymes are always preferable.
Some products contain only plant-based enzymes, which are aimed at vegetarians and vegans. These usually at least contain bromelain derived from the pineapple, and many include papain enzyme from the papaya. Products designed specifically for vegans usually contain pancreatin derived from Aspergillus niger. This is a fungus-based, fermented product rather than an enzyme sourced from ox or hog bile, which is the usual source.
In addition, some have complementary herbs and spices. Amla (gooseberry) extract — which isn't an enzyme, but an herbal remedy from Ayurveda medicine taken for general well-being — is often included. It's believed to work in synergy with the other compounds.
Pancreatic Enzymes vs. Digestive Enzymes
"Digestive enzymes" — aka stomach enzymes — is a broad term that includes pancreatic enzymes, plant-derived enzymes and fungal-derived enzymes. Pancreatic enzymes are found in the whopping eight cups of pancreatic juices that most humans produce daily. These juices contain pancreatic enzymes that aid in digestion and bicarbonate that neutralizes stomach acid as it enters the small intestine. Pancreatic enzyme names usually end in -in (like trypsin or pepsin), while other digestive enzymes usually end in -ase or -ose (like lactose, sucrose, fructose).
Dealing primarily with fats and amino acids, these enzymes include:
Lipase converts triglycerides into both fatty acids and glycerol.
Amylase converts carbohydrates into simple sugars.
Elastases degrades the protein elastin.
Trypsin converts proteins to amino acids.
Chymotrypsin converts proteins to amino acids.
Nucleases convert nucleic acids to nucleotides and nucleosides.
Phospholipase converts phospholipids into fatty acids.
The main enzyme-producing structures of the human digestive system are the salivary glands, stomach, pancreas, liver and small intestine. The pancreas produces bile salts or acids — which comprise water, electrolytes, amino acids, cholesterol, fats and bilirubin — and these are all sourced from the liver via the gallbladder. It's the cholic and chenodeoxycholic acids that, when combined with the amino acids glycine or taurine, produce the bile salts themselves. The bile salts break down fats in food to enable the lipase enzyme to reduce further.
The duodenum (the first and shortest segment of the small intestine) is also a busy place when it comes to digestion. Amino acids are extracted from proteins, fatty acids and cholesterol from fats, along with simple sugars from carbohydrates. Nuclease cleaves (or splits) the nucleic acids essential for DNA into nucleotides. All the macronutrients are broken down into molecules small enough to be carried in the bloodstream and boost metabolism to ensure it runs effectively. Micronutrients, if they haven't already been cleaved in the stomach acid, are released and transported into the bloodstream, too.
In regard to mostly sugar metabolism, intestinal enzymes include the following key (but complicated) processes:
Aminopeptidases degrade peptides into amino acids.
Lactase, a dairy sugar, converts lactose to glucose.
Cholecystokinin aids digestion of proteins and fats.
Secretin, as a hormone, controls the secretion of the duodenum.
Sucrase converts sucrose to disaccharides and monosaccharides.
Maltase converts maltose to glucose.
Isomaltase converts isomaltose.
Who Needs Digestive Enzymes?
The answer to the increasingly asked question — "Who should take digestive enzymes?" — may ultimately turn out to be many more people than you might expect. You may need a digestive enzyme supplement for any number of reasons, such as undigested food causing issues.
How do you know if you should take digestive enzymes and when to take digestive enzymes? If you're lacking specific enzymes that are needed to break down certain nutrients (such as some types of sugars), you might experience symptoms like bloating, gas, abdominal pain and fatigue due to undigested foods and other enzyme issues. Other signs that you might benefit from taking digestive enzymes supplements? Symptoms like:
Cravings for certain foods
Heartburn, indigestion or burping
Hair that is thinning or falling out
Dry or lackluster skin
Trouble concentrating or brain fog
Morning fatigue
Trouble sleeping well
Arthritis or joint pain
Muscle weakness or feeling too tired to exercise
Mood swings, depression or irritability
Headaches or migraines
Worsened PMS
Depending on how you view nutrition today, you can either take a proactive or reactive approach to digestive enzyme supplements. On one side of the coin, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it, right?" This perspective holds that, unless someone has digestion concerns, taking enzymes is simply not needed. On the other side, with the depleting nutrient supply in our diets and influx of chronic disease, a little extra help couldn't hurt.
Either way you look at it, an increasing number of people take digestive enzymes today, and certain health conditions like the ones below are good reasons to supplement:
1. Digestive Diseases
If you have any type of digestive disease — such as acid reflux, gas, bloating, leaky gut, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, diverticulitis, malabsorption, diarrhea or constipation — then digestive enzymes may be able to help.
Digestive enzymes can take stress off of the digestive organs, including the stomach, pancreas, liver, gallbladder and small intestine, by helping break down difficult-to-digest proteins, starches and fats. This can help decrease symptoms like bloating and pain that are associated with gastrointestinal disease.
2. Age-Related Enzyme Insufficiency
As we age, the acidity of our stomach acid becomes more alkaline. In respect to enzyme production, this means there's an increasing likelihood the much-needed acidic "trigger" produced when chyme enters the intestine may fail. If the acidity trigger fails, then the "signal" isn't given to the hormone called secretin, which in turn prevents pancreatic secretions from releasing.
Concurrent illnesses aside, as we age there's increasing suspicion that digestive problems may result from either low stomach acid or enzyme insufficiency in the elderly, which could be what causes acid reflux. Therefore older people may benefit from taking digestive enzyme supplements, especially if they suffer from unpleasant symptoms.
3. Hypochlorhydria
It's not only the elderly who suffer from hypochlorhydria (or having too little stomach acid). Aside from a decrease in stomach acid that fails to trigger reactions, the acid itself cannot break down foods to release minerals, vitamins and nutrients. Many micronutrients are "cleaved" or released from food while it's in the stomach — if this action fails, then there's an automatic nutritional or enzymatic insufficiency.
4. Liver Disease and Other Enzyme-Related Illnesses
Anyone with liver disease should be suspected as having a concurrent enzyme insufficiency. One of the more common conditions is known as alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, a genetic disorder that affects roughly one in 1,500 people worldwide. This condition typically first emerges in adults between the ages of 20–50 by causing breathing and other respiratory complaints. Roughly 15 percent of adults with this condition will develop liver disease, and about 10 percent of infants who are affected will as well. Other signs and symptoms that may be experienced include unintentional weight loss, recurring respiratory infections, fatigue and rapid heartbeats.
There are other illnesses too that may at first diagnosis appear unrelated to enzymatic deficiency but also deserve attention:
Crohn's disease may result in enzyme deficiency.
Iron deficiency or vitamin B12 deficiency may suggest that the digestive process is failing to cleave these nutrients from food.
Vitamin D deficiency may indicate another malabsorption issue, just like night blindness can result from a vitamin A deficiency.
Diagnosed illnesses aside, there are many symptomatic indicators of enzymatic insufficiency. Although some could be attributed to other conditions, several relate primarily to the failure of pancreatic enzymes to be released.
Stool changes — If the stool is pale and floats in the toilet bowl, because fat floats, this is indicative of pancreatic enzymes not functioning correctly. Another indication can be greasy or fatty deposits left in the toilet water after you poop.
Gastrointestinal complaints — Another indicator, together with stomach distention, around an hour after eating is diarrhea. Flatulence and indigestion are also indicative that the patient may have an enzyme insufficiency.
Fluoridated water — Further, recent research suggests that fluoride in water may be responsible for the decreased activity of both pancreatic lipase and protease. The study, although carried out on pigs, has broad-ranging implications relative to increased free radical damage and loss of mitochondria production.
5. Pancreatic Insufficiency
Pancreatic insufficiency is the inability of the pancreas to secrete the enzymes needed for digestion, which is a common problem among people with pancreatic cancer. Prescription pancreatic enzyme products (also called replacement therapy) are also used in patients with pancreatic cancer, chronic pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis, and after surgery on the pancreas or gut.
Best Digestive Enzyme Supplements: Full-Spectrum Digestive Enzymes
Because proteins, sugars, starches and fats all require specific types of enzymes, it's best to get a supplement that covers all the bases. I recommend looking for a full-spectrum enzyme blend for general digestive improvement. Look for a supplement that includes a variety of enzymes, including some of the following (price may vary depending on the supplement you purchase):
Alpha-galactosidase (this is the enzyme found in Beano®, derived from Aspergillus niger, which is said to help with carbohydrate digestion)
Amylase (produced by the salivary glands)
Glucoamylase
Invertase
Malt diastase
Protease (or acid proteases)
Peptidase
Beta-glucanase
Pectinase
Phytase
Here are other tips for purchasing a digestive enzyme supplements, based on your symptoms and current health:
If you have gallbladder issues and are looking for a gallbladder diet natural treatment, purchase one with more lipase and bile salts.
Where you see betaine HCL listed as a product ingredient, make sure pepsin is also included.
Others contain lactase, which until recently was only available as an individual product. This enzyme is designed to assist those with specific issues relating to sugar absorption from dairy products.
Consider a supplement that contains protease, which helps with protein digestion, if you have an autoimmune or inflammatory condition.
Choose a blend with herbs, such as peppermint and ginger, that also support digestion.
Also, because some people need more pancreatic enzymes than others, you need to bear in mind the level of each dependent on your needs. Most products contain some level of pancreatin, which is a combination of all three pancreatic enzymes.
For the best results, take digestive enzymes about 10 minutes before each meal or with your first bite. Protease supplement can be taken in between meals in addition to digestive enzymes with meals. Start by taking enzymes with about two meals per day and adjusting your dosage as needed as the days move on.
Foods to Eat to Support Digestion + Foods with Natural Digestive Enzymes
While there's no doubt that many people can benefit from taking enzyme supplements, something we should all focus on is obtaining enzymes naturally from a healthy diet. Which foods contain natural digestive enzymes?
Raw fruits and vegetables grown in nutrient-rich soils are the best natural sources of digestive enzymes so make sure to buy more of them when you shop for groceries. These natural digestive aids can help to provide you with digestive enzymes naturally:
Kefir and yogurt
Miso, soy sauce and tempeh (fermented soy products)
Sauerkraut and kimchi
Can you take probiotics and digestive enzymes at the same time? Yes. Take enzymes before a meal and probiotics after or between. It's also beneficial to get probiotics from fermented foods like yogurt, kefir, kimchi or sauerkraut. Probiotics can help restore balance to the gut microbiome and further aid in digestion, while also curbing symptoms like gas and bloating.
Digestive Enzymes in Traditional Medicine, Ayurveda and TCM
Throughout history, traditional medicine systems emphasized treating poor digestion holistically by making dietary and lifestyle changes, rather than supplementing. Digestive enzymes only became available in supplement form in the past 50 years or so, but long before this people were encouraged to consume raw foods and probiotic foods that naturally contain enzymes. Fresh/raw enzymes are emphasized most because heat is said to destroy plants' delicate enzymes.
According to the ancient medicinal system Ayurveda, digestion depends on sufficient agni, "or digestive fire." Agni is said to be improved by removing causes of indigestion (such as eating while stressed or close to bed time), improving your diet, and using herbs and home remedies to strengthen the digestive organs. Spices play an important role in supporting digestion in Ayurveda, especially ginger, turmeric, cumin, coriander, fennel, cardamom, fenugreek, cinnamon, rosemary, sage and oregano.
One remedy to improve digestive fire is to drink herbal tea that can help with enzyme functions, such as tea made with one-third teaspoons each of cumin, coriander and fennel that is boiled and strained. Eating papaya is also encouraged, since it naturally provides papain, which is said to reduce bloating, act as a diuretic and help decrease inflammation.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), digestion is improved by supporting the stomach/spleen and improve "Qi," or vital energy. Acupuncture, herbs, movement and stress management complement the use of plant-based enzymes that are obtained from eating whole foods. Raw fruits and lightly cooked veggies are recommended most for digestive support.
Other ways to encourage digestive health include eating local/seasonal foods; choosing organic, unprocessed, non-GMO foods; limiting intake of added sugar, liquids during meals and cold foods; chewing foods thoroughly; not eating within two to three hours of bedtime; and practicing tai chi, yoga, exercise and stretching to increase appetite.
Are Digestive Enzymes Safe? Precautions and Digestive Enzyme Side Effects
If you're dealing with a chronic health problem, it's a good idea to visit a health practitioner for help with customized enzyme therapy. Depending on your health condition, your doctor can determine which are the safest and best digestive enzymes for you to take. If you have a history of liver or gallbladder disease, or ulcers, then consult a physician before taking digestive enzyme supplements.
What are the potential side effects of digestive enzymes? While they are generally well-tolerated and helpful, digestive enzymes side effects can sometimes include nausea, diarrhea, abdominal cramping, gas, headache, swelling, dizziness, changes in blood sugar, allergic reactions and abnormal feces. If you suffer these digestive enzymes side effects, don't continue to take them and do consult with your doctor.
You're most likely to deal with digestive enzymes side effects if you take a very high dose and ignore dosage recommendations, so always read product labels carefully. Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you take medications daily and want to begin taking digestive enzymes before you shop for them.
Be sure to understand the pros and cons of taking prescription pancreatic enzymes before beginning supplementation, and always carefully follow directions. It's always a good idea to check out pancreatic and digestive enzymes reviews before purchasing supplements as well.
Final Thoughts on Digestive Enzymes
Digestive enzymes help break down large macromolecules found in the foods we eat (carbs, protein and fat) into smaller molecules that our guts are capable of absorbing. They come with some super digestive enzyme benefits as well.
Digestive enzymes are split into three classes: proteolytic enzymes that are needed to digest protein, lipases needed to digest fat and amylases needed to digest carbohydrates.
People who can benefit from taking digestive enzyme supplements include those with inflammatory bowel disease, IBS, low stomach acid (hypochlorhydria), enzyme insufficiency, pancreatic insufficiency, autoimmune diseases, constipation, diarrhea and bloating.
Digestive enzyme supplement sources include fruits (especially pineapple and papaya), animals like ox or hog, and plant sources like probiotics, yeast and fungi. Proteins, sugars, starches and fats all require specific types of enzymes, so it's best to get a supplement that covers all the bases (a full-spectrum enzyme blend).
Foods that can continue to provide you with natural digestive enzymes include pineapple, papaya, kiwi, fermented dairy, mango, miso, sauerkraut, kimchi, avocado, bee pollen, apple cider vinegar and raw honey.

I have a dedicated office in my house. I use this for my day job, my writing, and managing household bills and such. That is where I write into manuscripts and handle the managerial aspects of writing (I am sitting in here right now, listening to the rain outside as I type this up).
That being said, I have a journal I take with me when traveling. I don't write full stories in it, but rather take notes. It might be a resolution to a problem that has come to me, a new story idea, or an interesting character I have met that needs to make it into a future story. Sometimes I will dictate these notes into my phone, too. Either way, once home these notes get typed up and go into my writing folder in my computer.


The Sales Blog Mailbag is a never-ending source of excellent—and difficult—questions. I could email the writer directly, but since he came here looking for the answer, there may be others who would benefit from an answer.
What can we do as sales executives working for small companies that are experiencing rapid growth that negatively impacts service? I try to explain to frustrated clients that a continued investment really helps us address service lags, and that we'll reward their feedback and input. I even offer free product teasers as a "thanks for working with me." That being said, there are many times when the clients are more than frustrated, and when the problem is beyond my control or my pay grade. I love my company and have been with them for years. I have strong relationships and have enjoyed a lot of success. Any advice on managing both client and client services needs at the same time?
The foundation of all relationships is trust, and selling is no different. If you are having growing pains, it is likely that you have something that is in demand because it creates value for your clients. The service issues may just come with the territory. If this is the case, then your first responsibility is to be honest with your client about what they can expect.
I have one client that generates amazing results for their clients, but it is very difficult to get those results. Their technology is very complicated, and it has to be integrated into their client's existing hardware and software. It is always a bumpy ride. But, the results at the other end of that ride far outweigh the trouble it takes to generate them—even if doesn't feel like it when everything is melting down.
You create trust, and you give you and your team a lot of breathing room, when you can set the expectations. If you let them know that their service issues are going to be challenging, that it is being worked on, that you will be there to run interference, and that it will be worth it, you will generate that trust.
But that isn't enough by itself. You also have to work very hard to communicate what you are doing when your client has service issues. You cannot disappear. If your client doesn't know what you are doing, they believe you are doing nothing—even if you are pulling out all of the stops.
But you need still more.
As much as it pains salespeople to hear it, you have to sell internally with every bit of grit and determination that you sell externally.
First, you have to sell your internal team on taking care of your client. If you develop the relationships, and if you do everything in your power to make it easy to help you and your client, you will get better results. Do I recommend that you bribe them with lunches, dinners, donuts, thank you cards, gift cards, and whatever? Yes, I do.
Second, and equally important, you have to sell your management team on making the improvements that will help your clients. This sometimes means that you have to sell them on making investments that they don't want to make.
As salespeople, we are uniquely equipped to make this case, aren't we? We can very easily calculate the money being lost by losing clients, the future cost of acquiring new clients to replace those we lost, and the future cost of the reputation damage we suffer when they tell others about the poor experience they had working with us? And then there is cost of servicing all of the complaints.
If all of this sounds difficult, that's because it is. Making a logical case to your management team is is easy. Selling it is more difficult. You have to be as relentless as a rainstorm, all the while helping to resolve your client's problems and communicating like crazy.
The reason free product teasers aren't very effective is because your client hired you to manage and obtain an outcome for them. Until you achieve that level of value creation, the free product teaser is worthless. They need the result you promised and sold.
What is the salesperson's responsibilities when it comes to setting and managing expectations?
How important is to communicate what is being done to solve your client's service issues?
How do you sell inside to get what you need to serve you clients and obtain the outcomes you need?
Why don't substitutes resolve your client's dissatisfaction? What does it really take to resolve their dissatisfaction?

Salvador Agra (Vila do Conde, Portugal, 11 de noviembre de 1991) es un futbolista portugués que juega de centrocampista en el Boavista F. C. de la Primeira Liga de Portugal.

Carrera

Comenzó su carrera deportiva en las categorías inferiores del Varzim S. C. a la edad de 13 años, debutando con el primer equipo en 2010. Pronto se ganaría la titularidad con el club de Póvoa de Varzim, siendo un referente en ataque y disputando en su totalidad todos los partidos restantes en la Segunda División de Portugal, aunque sin poder salvar al equipo del descenso.

Firmó por el S. C. Olhanense de Algarve el 8 de julio de 2011, firmando un contrato de tres años y debutando en la Primeira Liga el 13 de agosto del mismo año, jugando 15 minutos en un empate 1–1 ante el Sporting de Lisboa.

A finales de enero de 2012 es fichado por el Real Betis Balompié de la primera división de España por 300000 €, aunque sería transferido una vez que concluyese su temporada con el Olhanense. Agra disputaría un total de 14 encuentros con el club bético, anotando un tanto en la derrota por 2-4 ante el Atlético de Madrid en el estadio Benito Villamarín. Sería cedido en los años siguientes al A. C. Siena, S. C. Braga y Académica de Coimbra.

El 28 de junio de 2015 finalizó su contrato con el Real Betis y firmó por cuatro años por el C. D. Nacional portugués. El 1 de julio de 2017, después del descenso del club madeirense, se unió a las filas del vigente campeón de la Primeira Liga, el S. L. Benfica. Pasaría su primer año en condición de préstamo en el C. D. Aves y el Granada C. F. de la Segunda División española.

Para la temporada 2018-19, se unió al Cádiz C. F. en un préstamo de un año. Retornaría a Lisboa para finalmente partir al Legia de Varsovia de la Ekstraklasa polaca en el mercado de invierno. Tras una escasa participación dentro del Legia, rescindió su contrato con la entidad polaca el 7 de mayo de 2020. Tras la experiencia polaca regresó al fútbol portugués para jugar en el C. D. Tondela. Después de descender de categoría con este equipo y al acabar su contrato, firmó por dos años con el Boavista F. C.

Selección nacional

Salvador Agra fue convocado un total de quince ocasiones por las categorías inferiores de la selección de fútbol de Portugal, incluyendo ocho para la selección sub-21. Su debut tuvo lugar el 5 de septiembre de 2011, saliendo al terreno de juego en los 12 minutos finales de un partido amistoso frente a  que finalizaría en 1–0.

Its hard to believe the Fall weather took until the beginning of November to arrive in the NorthEast. Trust me, as a lover of flip flops, beach sand, and long days I'm not complaining, but its somewhat comforting to have the need to warm up. Plus I absolutely love Fall fashions, especially with this year's trends keeping it simple. Pair your favorite fitted jeans with a comfy pullover sweater for a trendy outfit that's perfect for any occasion.
Check out some of my favorite pullover sweaters, all for under $40!
There are so many gorgeous pullover sweater styles, which one is your favorite?


Hot water that goes down the drain is wasted energy–as much as 80-90% of the energy used for water heating. Drain-water (or greywater) heat recovery systems capture this energy to preheat cold water entering the water heater or going to other water fixtures.
Drain-water heat recovery technology works well with all types of water heaters, especially instantaneous and solar water heaters. Drain-water heat exchangers also can recover heat from the hot water used in showers, bathtubs, sinks, dishwashers and laundry washers. They generally have the ability to store recovered heat for later use. A unit with storage capacity is needed for use with a dishwasher or laundry washer. Without storage capacity, useful energy is only available during the simultaneous flow of cold water and heated drain water.
Some storage-type systems have tanks containing a reservoir of clean water. Drain water flows through a spiral tube at the bottom of the heat storage tank. This warms the tank water which rises to the top. Water heater intake water is preheated by circulation through a coil at the top of the tank.
By preheating cold water, drain-water heat recovery systems help increase water heating capacity.


Quick boating safety quiz: Do you think it is okay to jump the wake of another boat when you are less than 100 feet away or use your personal watercraft to splash someone sitting on a dock? Guess what, its not and in fact, both activities are illegal. If you thought otherwise, you should definitely make an effort to learn the boating "rules of the road." Last year, there were 116 boating incidents and 16 boating-incident related fatalities, according to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife Resources Division (WRD). Incidents can occur quickly, and the chance of one happening increase greatly if one or either boat operator is unfamiliar with or does not follow existing boating laws, or the "rules of the road," that govern lakes and rivers.
"Boat operators do not need a license to operate a boat and people over the age of 16 are not required by law to take a test to operate a vessel, " says WRD Lt. Col. Jeff Weaver, Assistant Chief of Law Enforcement. "Therefore, it is extremely important for boat operators to take responsibility for educating themselves on boating safety and boating laws. Your efforts to learn boating laws could potentially save your life or the life of someone you know."
One of the most important "rules of the road" is the 100 foot law which includes all boats, not just personal watercraft (such as Jet Skis or Sea Doos), and requires boat operators to slow to idle speed when they are within 100 feet of docks, piers, bridges, shorelines or people in the water. The 100-foot law states, "No person shall operate any vessel or tow a person or persons on water skis, an aquaplane, a surfboard, or any similar device on the waters of this state at a speed greater than idle speed within 100 feet of any vessel which is moored, anchored, or adrift outside normal traffic channels, or any wharf, dock, pier, piling, bridge structure or abutment, person in the water, or shoreline adjacent to a full-time or part-time residence, public park, public beach, public swimming area, marina, restaurant, or other public use area."
This means that it is illegal to jump the wake of another boat within 100 feet and to "buzz" other boats, vessels cannot operate around or within 100 feet of another vessel faster than idle speed unless it is overtaking or meeting the other vessel in compliance with the rules of the road for boat operation and makes it illegal for boat operators to follow closely behind another vessel, jump the wake of another vessel, or change or reverse their course of direction in order to ride or jump in the wake of another vessel.
"People who operate boats and personal watercraft at dangerously high speeds, and zip into and out of coves and along shorelines where other vessels are anchored or where people are in the water are not only putting themselves and others at risk for serious accidents, but they also are breaking the law," says Lt. Col. Weaver.
When meeting another vessel, boat operators should pass on the right side (just like in a car) unless the boats are far enough apart that they are not meeting head on or close to head on.
On narrow rivers and streams, stay as far right as possible and be careful when rounding bends and curves and overtaking or passing other boats.
In a crossing situation, the boat on the right should hold its course and the boat on the left should slow down and cross behind the other boat.
Powerboats always should yield to sailboats.

While in some areas the Trump regime wants to reverse the environmental policies of the Obama administration, the new administration's attitude toward Superfund is more nuanced. The Superfund Task Force recommendations released earlier this week seem to have been developed by career professionals under the oversight of the Administrator Pruitt team. The Task Force report does not represent a dramatic departure from past policies.
Below I note potential problems with the recommendations, but I end by identifying reuse as an area where people with differing environmental perspectives can work together.
A lot of the recommendations are good. But they won't do much good if budget and staffing are cut by a third.
As far as I know, there was no outreach to impacted communities in the development of the recommendations.
The only serious mention of public health is the discussion of sites where human exposure is not under control, but it doesn't discuss properties that should be on the National Priorities List because of human exposures, but which are not yet listed. These include vapor intrusion sites, which now may qualify due to the recent rule updating the Hazard Ranking system, and sites with emerging contaminants such as PFCs.
National remedy review may provide consistency of policy, but it also can be a tool for overriding the community acceptance criterion – one of the nine remedy-selection criteria in the National Contingency Plan.
The proposal to accelerate deletions from the National Priorities List worries me, because there is no discussion of the long-term management of residual contamination.
The Task Force recommends, "Design and implement a pilot that utilizes independent third parties to oversee certain actions, such as long-term monitoring." This is similar to something I've proposed, but it doesn't address how liability might be affected.
On liability, it recommends, "Explore Environmental Liability Transfer (ELT) Approaches and Other Risk Management Tools at PRP cleanups." Reducing the liability of PRPs might help move projects along, but there needs to be a safety net to ensure that some entity is on the hook if a remedy fails.
The report talks about Sustainable Redevelopment but not Green and Sustainable Remediation.
While it mentions Environmental Justice organizations, there is no discussion of environmental justice.
I'm concerned about the proposal to reduce the indirect costs charged to potentially responsible parties (PRPs, also known as polluters). One of the strengths of Superfund, compared to many state programs, is that EPA often is able to utilize the combined expertise of a complete team. Cutting indirect costs could reduce expert oversight.
The report states "The principles of groundwater restoration are key concepts outlined in CERCLA and the National Contingency Plan (NCP). Developing improved guidance in this area may help facilitate more timely remedy decisions and make use of the flexibilities inherent within the statute and the NCP. Flexibilities include: using a phased approach, considering monitored natural attenuation, determining whether a technical impracticability waiver is warranted, etc." Technical Impracticability and Monitored Natural Attenuation are sometimes necessary approaches, but they imply less cleanup, not expedited remediation.
The recommendation on Groundwater Classification doesn't seem to recognize state anti-degradation policies.
The Report, in line with Administrator Pruitt's public statements, emphasizes reuse. Superfund reuse is an area where activists/local official like myself and Republicans suspicious of environmental regulation can work together. EPA should not ignore its mandate to protect public health and the environment, but sometimes reuse, including the redevelopment of Superfund sites (including off-site areas impacted by Superfund groundwater plumes or vapor migration) can enhance and accelerate environmental protection.
Third-party – that is, non-PRP – property developers often fund and carry out vapor intrusion mitigation during redevelopment, and in some cases they may be able to conduct or fund subsurface cleanup in exchange for more rapid reuse.
I especially like the final recommendation: "Use a Federal Advisory Committee to Work with a Broad Array of Stakeholders to Identify Barriers and Opportunities Related to Cleanup and Reuse of Superfund Sites." Beginning with the Federal Facilities Environmental Restoration Dialogue Committee in the early 1990s, I have found that such advisory committees have the potential to come up with win-win solutions to controversial environmental challenges.
Communities new to Superfund reuse would benefit from the experiences of communities that have been doing it for some time. Mountain View (where I serve as Vice-Mayor) has as much experience as any community in the reuse of Superfund sites. For example, Google is building its new headquarters and planning to build housing above the downgradient Teledyne-Spectra Physics Superfund plume.) Mountain View uses the California Environmental Quality Act, as well as our own permitting policies, to protect public health while encouraging both residential and commercial development. That is, it is possible for economic reuse and the protection of public health to go hand in hand.
Finally, while emphasis on reuse works here in Silicon Valley and other areas where there is a strong demand for property development, it could leave weaker economic areas with toxic messes forever. Those areas should not be forgotten.
WASHINGTON — Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Superfund Task Force released their report to EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt, providing 42 specific and detailed recommendations to streamline and improve the Superfund program. Administrator Pruitt also signed a directive to leaders across the Agency of 11 specific actions that should be implemented right away, with renewed focus, including identification, within 60 days, of the sites where the risk of human exposure is not fully controlled.
"Being on this Task Force was a great opportunity to identify legitimate impediments that prevent expeditious cleanup of Superfund Sites and working to address those issues," said Karen Melvin, EPA Region 3 Director, Hazardous Site Cleanup Division.
Established by Congress in 1980, the Superfund Program governs the investigation and cleanup of the nation's most complex hazardous waste sites in order to convert those sites into community resources. The National Priorities List (NPL) came into existence in 1983. It includes those sites that are of national priority among the known releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants throughout the United States. Each year, sites are listed and delisted based on criteria in EPA's regulations. As of June 21, 2017, there are 1,336 sites on the NPL, of which 1,179 are privately owned sites and 157 are federal facilities. Sites on the NPL are in various stages of completion and much work still remains. The recommendations of the Superfund Task Force, when implemented, will improve and expedite the process of site remediation and promote reuse.
The Superfund Task Force, chaired by Albert Kelly, senior advisor to the administrator, was commissioned on May 22, 2017, and includes leaders from EPA's Office of Land and Emergency Management, Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance, Office of General Counsel, EPA Region 3 (as the lead region for the Superfund program), as well as other offices.
Each goal in the Task Force report is accompanied by a set of strategies that include specific actions which are planned to commence within twelve months.


Oh, is it any wonder, I'm in the mood for love.
We´ve put our hearts together - now we are one, I'm not afraid.
But for tonight forget it, I'm in the mood for love.
The sacred words "I love you"
"My Johnny gonna be a steel drivin' man"
I'm a-gonna die with my hammer in my hand"
He laid down his hammer and he cried, "Lord!"
They say, "Yonder lies a steel drivin' man"

Gaby Deslys (* 4. September 1881 in Marseille als Gabrielle Caire; † 11. Februar 1920 in Montrouge) war eine französische Revue-Tänzerin, Sängerin und Schauspielerin.

Leben
Am Konservatorium in Marseille erhielt Gabrielle Caire ihre Gesangsausbildung. Im Folies Bergère in Paris begann 1898 ihre Laufbahn als Sängerin. Sie trat u. a. im Théâtre Capucies, Mathurins und Olympia auf. Als bekannte Sängerin verließ sie 1906 Paris und ging nach London. In der Burlesque The New Aladdin trat sie am 29. September 1906 im Gaiety Theatre auf, was ihr den Beinamen The Charm of Paris einbrachte. Eine Liaison mit König Manuel von Portugal sorgte für viel Aufsehen in der Presse, da sie mit dessen Abdankung 1910 und politischen Unruhen in Verbindung gebracht wurde.

Ihr nun auch amouröser Ruhm eilte ihr nach New York voraus und wurde Gegenstand der Burlesque Gaby. Ihr Debüt in New York erfolgte 1911, sie spielte dort in zwei Aufführungen im Winter Garden Theatre mit. Anfang 1912 kehrte Deslys mit ihrem zukünftigen Partner Harry Pilcer nach Paris zurück. Pilcer kreierte für sie den Tanz Gaby Glide. Außerdem brachte sie Modetänze aus den USA nach Frankreich, wie z. B. den Grizzly oder Siberian. Diese Tänze zeigte sie auch in ihren Aufführungen in ganz Europa, wie z. B. im Pariser Théâtre Femina, im Wiener Apollon-Theater und im Londoner Palace Theatre. Erneute Auftritte führten sie 1914 wieder nach New York. U. a. erschien sie in den Aufführungen Honeymoon Express, The Belle of Bond Street, Rosy Rapture, Stop!Look!Listen! und 5064 Gerrard.

Zusammen mit Harry Pilcer wirkte sie in den Filmen The Triumph (1915) und Infatuation (1918) von Louis Mercanton mit. Im Casino de Paris tanzten beide 1917 in der Ausstattungsrevue Laissez-le-tomber!, der sogenannten Leiter-Revue. Beide waren das meistgefeierte Tanzpaar der Music Halls, gefolgt von Maurice Chevalier und Mistinguett, die das Paar im folgenden Jahr ersetzten. Gaby Deslys etablierte mit ihren teilweise von Erté entworfenen Kostümen und Straußenfedern einen neuen Stil. Sie brachte die erste Jazzband (Alexander's Ragtime Band) nach Paris.

Zuletzt war sie 1919 im Théâtre Femina in einer Revue von Bénédicte Rasimi zu sehen. Sie starb am 11. Februar 1920 in Montrouge an einer Kehlkopfentzündung. Ihr Vermögen hatte sie der Stadt Marseille für wohltätige Zwecke vermacht.

Novelist Julie Otsuka has strong memories of libraries from her childhood California — the bike rides with her best friend to the local branch; the soft, firm sound of librarians closing books; the shopping bags she and her friend would fill with science fiction and other stories.
"It seemed like I lived at the library," she says. "I felt very free to explore there, and explore away from adult eyes."
The library community also has warm feelings about Otsuka. Her novel "The Swimmers," in which a group of swimmers collectively narrate their daily routines and what happens when those routines are disrupted, has won the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction, a $5,000 honor presented by the American Library Association. Ed Yong's "An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Realms Around Us" won the nonfiction medal, which also comes with a $5,000 cash prize.
CARNEGIE HERO FUND COMMISSION ANNOUNCES 20 MEDAL WINNERS
"Julie Otsuka proves herself a master of narrative voice, thrillingly balancing the incredible vitality of community life with the myriad challenges faced by individuals and families within that community," Stephen Sposato, chair of the medals' selection committee, said in a statement released Sunday.

"And, standing out even during a recent golden age of nature writing, Ed Yong dazzles with a deeply considered exploration of the many modes of sensory perception that life has evolved to navigate the world, written with exhilarating freshness."
COLSON WHITEHEAD NOVEL A CARNEGIE MEDAL FINALIST
Otsuka, 60, has also written the novels "The Buddha in the Attic," winner of the PEN/Faulkner award in 2011; and "When the Emperor Was Divine." Her other honors include a Guggenheim Fellowship and an Arts and Letters Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
The 41-year-old Yong, a native of Malaysia who emigrated to the United Kingdom in his teens, is a staff writer for The Atlantic. He won a Pulitzer Prize in 2021 for his reporting on the coronavirus pandemic. Like Otsuka, Yong was influenced early by libraries. "Strangely enough for indoor spaces, libraries for me were gateways to the natural world," he told The Associated Press. "As a kid, I spent a lot of time reading books that expanded my knowledge — and love — of nature, and I can only hope that 'An Immense World' does the same for people today."
The Carnegie Medals were established in 2012, with help from a grant from the Carnegie Corporation of New York. Previous winners include James McBride, Doris Kearns Goodwin and Matthew Desmond.

The usually surly-looking Montgomerie (or Mrs. Doubtfire, as many know him) is on making a bid to return to the ranks of the world's top golfers. He played well last week in Singapore, an extension of his strong play last fall and at the Ryder Cup. There's a story about it here.
While I used to dislike Monty and his whining, I've come to appreciate his silky swing and the fact that, if you catch him in a good mood, he can be one of the most charming interviews around. I also like the look of disgust on his face last weekend when Nick Dougherty got a free drop into the short rough from a nasty-looking bunker. It showed Monty is on his game and now with the separation from his wife appearing more distant, look for Montgomerie to have a strong year.

Mayer Mizrachi Matalon (Panama Città) è un imprenditore di origine panamense-giamaicano, creatore della applicazione per telefoni cellulari chiamata Criptext, per cui fu arrestato e accusato di reato contro la pubblica amministrazione di Panama. Inoltre, è anche il fondatore di Geeky Motors, prima compagnia specializzata nella vendita di macchine Tesla a Panama. Il lancio ufficiale di Geeky Motors è stato il 17 agosto 2020.

Caso Criptext
Il caso Criptext in che l'impresa Innovative Venture S.A, rappresentata per Mizrachi, ha venduto le licenze d'utilizzo all'Agenzia per l'Innovazione Governativa (AIG), di una piattaforma di messageria di testo cifrato (conosciuta come Criptext) dal 30 marzo al 30 dicembre 2014.

L'indagine è iniziata dopo la denuncia che ha fatto Irvin Halman, amministratore della AIG, per presunte irregolarità emerse dalla firma del contratto di Criptext quando non era stata installata nelle agenzie di sicurezza dello stato. Mizrachi è stato accusato anche di inadempienza contrattuale per l'aggiornamento e digitalizzazione dei sistemi di comunicazione per un importo circa i $211,850 dollari.

Il 30 luglio 2018, la Corte dei Conti Panamense ha stabilito, attraverso un'indagine che comprendeva la pratica delle corrispondenti perizie, che non esisteva danni alla proprietà nei contratti firmati tra Innovative Venture, S.A. e l'Autorità per l'Innovazione del Governo Panamense.

Detenzione
A dicembre 2015 fu arrestato all'Aeropuerto Internacional Rafael Núñez di Cartagena de Indias, in Colombia, in seguito a una diffida dell'Interpol per essere stato accusato di un crimine contro la pubblica amministrazione di Panama in relazione al governo dell'ex presidente Ricardo Martinelli. Dopo aver trascorso sei mesi di detenzione a La Picota, e dopo aver pagato una cauzione di $100.000 dollari, è stato rilasciato il 22 giugno 2016, ha chiesto asilo político in Colombia il 23 giugno 2016 (che è stato poi negato) e Mizrachi è stato deportato a Panamá il 7 settembre 2016.

Dall'8 settembre 2016, a Mizrachi è vietato lasciare Panama.

Plus, what's to come on Fear the Walking Dead and The Purge's new season, and Taika Waititi denies a Thor: Love and Thunder rumor in very Taika Waititi fashion. Spoilers now!
According to The Wrap, Andrew Koji has been cast as Storm Shadow, Snake Eyes' endlessly more talkative "sword brother" who now works as Cobra Commander's personal bodyguard.
Meanwhile, Nathan Fillion has joined the cast of James Gunn's The Suicide Squad in a currently undisclosed role, presumably, it could be a cameo presence á la Fillion's appearances in the Guardians of the Galaxy movies. [Deadline]
Silvercup
George Young will star alongside Annabelle Lillis in Silvercup, James Wan's top-secret horror project he's shooting between Aquaman films. Though details are sparse, a new rumor claims the unusually-titled film follows "two women on the run from a monster." [Variety]
Variety also reports child actor August Maturo (The Nun) will befriend the titular monster, Slapface, in an upcoming horror film from Jeremiah Kipp (Black Wake, Painkiller).
Deadline reports Better Watch Out director Chris Peckover is now attached to direct Limbo for Miramax. The story concerns "a young mother whose body becomes possessed by something evil, rendering her a disembodied spirit and a ghost in her own house."
Idle Hands 2
Speaking with Comic Book, Devon Sawa revealed he's interested in making a sequel to the 1999 horror-comedy, Idle Hands.
In a heartbeat. If there was one film that I want to do a sequel to that would be the one. Just because that set was, between Elden [Henson], and Seth Green, and Vivica Fox, [Jessica] Alba, Jack Noseworthy, and all those people, it was like summer camp and it was so much fun.
I would love that to happen but unfortunately the first one didn't…I think it broke even or something like that, but you never know. You never know.

My Minecraft username is Tom__Swift and I was first introduced to CommunityCraft by my brother who had in turn been introduced by Pyro_Clasm and AmberSapphire. I have been playing Minecraft for the last couple years. I probably started playing about the time 1.0 came out. I live in the Central Standard time zone and play on weekend evenings if I'm not too busy. In real life, I'm an engineering student, so finding time to play can be difficult.
I have been on CommunityCraft for the last three months and have helped Bud_Barclay with some of his builds and was working on building an underground base before the spring semester hit. Now as school winds down I'm hoping to have time to contribute to some amazing builds. I'm not a very fast builder, but when it comes to planning and more technical stuff, I'm your man.
Having already seen their work, I vote yes.
Best Res app in a while, and an engineering student? I vote yes.
Tom__Swift has now been promoted to Resident.
Hopefully we'll get to see what an engineering student can do with Redstone.

Can I retake the placement test?
Students who place into developmental courses may be eligible for FREE English and/or math refresher "Boot Camp" for students wishing to refresh their basic skills and improve their ACCUPLACER scores. Attending a Boot Camp will provide students with the opportunity to become familiar with the Gateway campus, review their basic math and English skills, and build confidence. After successfully completing the Boot Camp, students may retake the ACCUPLACER test and possibly place into a higher level course, thereby saving TIME and MONEY. Boot Camps are for students who are motivated, hard-working, and able to commit to attending all sessions of the program.
Before scheduling your appointment to take the placement test, it is strongly recommended that you prepare by reviewing the material and taking practice tests.

Students who wish to further challenge the placement outcome may request this from the department chairperson, or the Dean of Students in the absence of the department chair. Students are responsible for providing relevant details supporting their case for the waiver of placement. The Dean of Students may authorize re-testing with the ACCUPLACER.

To sign up, you will need to have completed your Admissions application, and will enter your College ID number.


This is one of our favourite dip that we often serve with the aperitif snacks. Char grilling the eggplants (mostly on the BBQ) lends this cream an incredibly nice, smoky aroma, so it is a must! Your guests will appreciate your efforts!
On top of being a nice dip, it is also great in wraps and sandwiches.

From: Enedumiel (Kira Jones) Date: Mon, 30 Dec 2002 15:37:01 -0800 (PST) Subject: [MillenniumHarpers] Jeffco/Rockdale Quest... Completed!
I'm declaring myself finished... with one whole day to spare!
I made it out to Olde Town Conyers today and found seven more historical places. The entire thing is rather long, so I'll try and break it up into seperate letters. Here goes!
The first two sites were very close to each other, so I put in extra time in the middle... which happened to have a nice bench to sit on. The first site was a plaque for "Fightin Joe" Wheeler. The inscription is as follows.
Near this spot, May 9, 1865 Mayor General Joseph Wheeler, C.S.A and part of his staff were captured by Federal troops who were pursuing President Jefferson Davis. General Wheeler was released at Athens but, later, was again arrested and sent north with President Davis. He was imprisoned at Fort Delaware, Del, until June 18, 1865, when he was released. General Wheeler fought more battles than any other calvary man in the War Between the Sattes. Wounded 3 times, he had his horse shot out from under him 16 times. In the U.S. Army in the Spanish American War, he served with equal honor and distinction.
The second site was a plaque for Sherman at Conyers.
On the night of November 17, 1864, Morgan's division, 14th Corps of the Left Wing of General Sherman's army, which had marched from Atlanta on the 15th on its destructive March to the Sea, camped in this immediate vicinity with headquarters in Conyers (1/2 mile north). During the day, the railroad had been destroyed from Lithonia to the Yellow river by the 1st Michigan Engineers and Mechanics adn details of Morgan's division. About noon on the 17th, General Sherman and his staff stopped at the home of Mrs. Scott, in Conyers, where he learned from Augusta papers dated the 13th that his secret plan of operation had not yet been divined.
Once the library was convinced that it really was okay for me to play at the historical site in front of their building, I set up on the park bench. There were a number of people, and I got a few odd glances but that was about it.

Betting The 2011 NCAA Basketball Tournament Online: Exercise Caution
Alejandro Botticelli
The online gambling sector has evolved into something of great stability over the past couple of years. Few fly-by-nights can gain the necessary exposure outside of a handful of industry-exclusive portals and Web forums. The strong have survived for well over 10 years, including all of those companies represented on the Gambling911.com website (see here)
With that said, one must still exercise a certain amount of caution when betting the 2011 NCAA Basketball Tournament online.
Case in point, the insolvency of World Sports Exchange, one of the first online sports betting establishments.
Players report nonpayments while a lucky few have received payouts after waiting several months.
World Sports Exchange is hardly classified as a "fly-by-night". They've been around since 1996 and the company was once featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated.
Unfortunately, they were recently profiled as part of a CNBC special regarding Internet gambling where founder Jay Cohen espoused the notion that the company he founded several years ago remains as solid as they come. That's hardly the case.
"Thank God for Google!" said Payton O'Brien, Senior Editor of the Gambling911.com website. "We are on the first page with an article warning of World Sports Exchange, as are other websites. Anyone conducting even the slightest bit of research will now be quick to avoid this desperately underfunded business."
But not everyone is going to Google "World Sports Exchange" and customers who signed up long ago, not knowing the current state of this company, may feel comfortable enough to re-deposit funds during the 2011 NCAA Basketball Tournament.
"WSEX.com has ignored its customers requests for payout status but they have little problem sending out generous re-up bonus promos to those on their extensive player list," O'Brien observed.
Cohen himself gained a reputation in the past for berating competitors for offering similar bonus structures. He is now said to be in hiding, quite possibly in Antigua, having ballooned to over 300 pounds.
Cohen returned to Antigua after becoming the first man convicted on federal charges of running an illegal offshore Internet sports gambling operation. He was sentenced to nearly two years in prison.
World Sports Exchange's current financial woes are said to be a combination of debts incurred by Cohen's legal defense (his lawyer was the famed Mob attorney Benjamin Brafman) and the company having lost significant funds in the besieged bank owned by convicted Texas billionaire Allen Stanford, though Cohen once told Gambling911.com Stanford would never do business with gambling establishments due to his "deep religious convictions".
"World Sports Exchange is a rare exception when it comes to established online gambling firms going under," explains Christopher Costigan, Founder of the Gambling911.com website. "We've only seen it a few times where major businesses in operation for more than 10 years have closed shop and stiffed players."
BetOnSports comes to mind. This was once the largest betting operation offshore catering to the North American market. They were forced to shut their doors after the US Government indicted close to a dozen company officials.
Some years ago, Sports Market/Aces Gold wiped out a number of high rollers after its owner fled with the sportsbook's funds following a brutal Super Bowl loss. Charlie Therwhanger has yet to re-emerge. His company advertised heavily on various industry-related Websites and in sports handicapping publications.

2011 March Madness
DraftKings Calls Canada's Gambling Study Flawed
Because the tax rate Ontario is expected to impose on online gambling sites is much lower than the percentage the government takes from casino spending, the report concludes that the province stands to lose out on $550 million in annual revenue for a total of $2.8 billion over the next five years.
