Advanced Esthetics Solutions introduces the first 270W Alexandrite/Nd:YAG blended laser with a Square Spot
January 9, 2017 by CarlFrascina
Leading aesthetic product company adds Square Epil to its growing portfolio of non-surgical devices.
The latest addition to the Advanced Esthetics Solutions portfolio of non-surgery energy-assisted devices has been revealed.
The Square Epil – now available from AES – is the world's most powerful blended laser with the first ever square spot, built in smoke evacuator and self replacement lamp system.
Receiving rave reviews from aesthetic professionals, the Square Epil offers high comfort during treatment sessions, and minimised downtime with safe and long-lasting results. Combining both wavelengths enables the practitioner to treat all skin types at speeds that are 3 x faster than its rivals.
The Square Epil has a double energy source, Alex+Yag, and has a pulse repetition of up to 3Hz. There are two options: a circular spot size up to 30mm, and a square spot size up to 27x27mm, allowing aesthetic professionals to treat a body surface equal to 14.5cm2 per second at 20J/cm2 of fluence.
The combination of Alexandrite and Nd:YAG allows the treatment of all skin's phototypes, from I to VI, allowing the use of the device for any time of year. The one-of-a-kind BEM (Blended Emission Mode) technology allows clinicians to selectively use one laser source or combine laser beams, depending on the individual needs of patients.
Intended uses:
Benign Pigmented Lesions
Non-Ablative Photorejuvenation
Square Epil is the latest laser from the Bios range of single lasers and multifunctional platforms based on a long pulse Alexandrite combined with long and short pulse Nd:YAG laser.
Bodyvie in Richmond, London, is the first aesthetic clinic in the U.K. to be offering the Bios Square Epil. Dr Weber from Bodyvie says:
"We are privileged to be the first clinic in the UK to offer what is probably the most powerful and fastest hair removal system in the world! Incredible versatility coupled with spot sizes ranging from 1mm to 30mm and the ability to fire up to 3 times per second; the Bios Square Epil is the Aston Martin, Rolls Royce and Bentley of lasers."
Douglas Sykes, Managing Director of Advanced Esthetics Solutions, says:
"The Square Epil is one of the most exciting new generation of lasers to be produced, with 270W of power, a 30mm spot size producing 14.5cm2 per second enabled the practitioner to treat a full body in less than 35 minutes. The ability to change the lamp in less than one minute without the need of a call out to an engineer is truly remarkable.
"The UK has experienced an influx of discounting schemes creating a complete new culture in consumer spending – this in turn has somewhat suppressed laser hair removal prices in the last few years. The Square Epil's ability to carry out the treatments in fraction of the time introduces back the profit margins we enjoyed years ago; the Square Epil is truly the highest return on investment on any laser out there."
The Square Epil is available from AES now.

Product in Focus: Nithya Injectable Collagen
December 20, 2016 by CarlFrascina
Discover the latest collagen boosting injectable from Vida Aesthetics, Nithya.
Nithya: the basics
From the age of 25, we lose up to 1.5% of collagen from our skin each year. The resulting appearance of wrinkles due to the loss of our natural collagen can be mitigated by replenishing it and this can now be achieved through treatment with injectable collagen, a product designed for the regeneration and reconstruction of tissues.
Nithya collagen is produced from equine Achilles tendon tissue in a sterile environment. Nithya is a Type I collagen powder which stimulates the production of new fibroblasts to create native Type III collagen during the immunodefense responses triggered by the cell regeneration process known as mechanotransduction, a process that is fundamental in cosmetic medicine and anti-aging treatments.
When the collagen is native it reduces the presence of free telopeptides, a source of allergenicity, almost to zero. It can be defined native because it preserves the same physical and chemical characteristics typical of collagen in the living organism (same sequence and composition of amino acids, same molecular structure); the collagen protein retains its native triple helix structure and there are no free telopeptides.
The equine collagen of Nithya passed all the cytotoxicity, allergenic and skin irritability tests. The product is safe and doesn't have any contraindications.
Nithya produces the optimal conditions to restore connective tissue. It supplements dermal bio-revitalization and assists the regeneration of connective tissue in the dermis providing perfect conditions for the physiological neo-formation of collagen and can be used for body and facial chrono- and photo-aging treatments.
Packaged in powder form, sterile, pyrogen-free and for single use, Nithya must be placed in suspension immediately before use in WFI (Water for Injection) and Lidocaine at a ratio of a 70mg vial of collagen to 4.5ml of WFI and 0.5ml of Lidocaine. Once in suspension, the product should be used immediately and any remaining following the treatment should be discarded.
Using the appropriate size needles from 32G x 2 mm up to 30G x 4 mm, the product is administered through intradermal infiltration by medical practitioners licensed to carry out such treatments. The technical skill of the practitioner is key to the success of the treatment so it is recommended that the practitioner receives specific training on the mesotherapy injection technique.
Nithya bears the CE 0373 mark and is manufactured in Italy by Euroresearch. Used in combination with lidocaine, the procedure is virtually painless and is the only commercially available Type I collagen intended for aesthetic use. Equine collagen, produced by Euroresearch, has been used in pad form for more than 20 years for its healing property on skin ulcers, open wounds, scars and pressure sores.
Equine collagen is FDA approved for wound therapy under the brand name BIOPAD. BIOPAD is produced by the same manufacture as Nithya and uses the same collagen source.
What are the advantages to using Nithya equine collagen compared to bovine collagen?
Studies have shown that 3% of the population are allergic to bovine collagen whereas equine collagen has not shown this level of adverse reaction and in fact, no cases of allergic reaction have been reported. Equine collagen is extracted from the tendon whereas bovine collagen is extracted from the hide.
This results in the equine collagen being a higher quality and purer product when compared with bovine collagen. In addition, it is Type III collagen that is extracted from the bovine hide rather than the Type I from the equine tendon. By using Type I to stimulate production of Type III collagen, the body has more control over production and distribution leading to better and longer lasting results.
The allergic reactions caused by bovine collagen are connected to the source and the extraction process. The collagen is usually extracted from the bovine derma which is a less pure source compared to the tendon, therefore during the extraction process the collagen fibre is cut and consequently this frees polypeptides which can cause allergic reactions to bovine collagen.
Equine collagen is a much more popular choice compared to bovine collagen because the amino acid sequence is more like the human one which makes it work much better with the human body and enhances the results from the collagen.
What are the differences between Type I and Type III collagen?
Type I is the most numerous in number among all collagen types. It can be found in bones, skin and intervertebral disks. It can also be found in scar tissue.
Type III is the second most abundant collagen in the body. It is closely related to collagen Type I in the terms of location and manner of synthesis. It is primarily located in the intestinal walls, muscles and blood vessels, although it can also be found with collagen Type I. Type I and Type III can be mixed together to create supplements for the skin, bone and muscle.
How do you know the animals aren't infected?
Nithya equine collagen is a bi-product of an established industry. The animals are slaughtered for human consumption and, as with any animal entering the human food chain, are subject to rigorous checks, tests and strict processes. All horses destined for human consumption will have been monitored using a 'passport' scheme which will have a complete record of any drugs that have been administered, any indications of recent medications and/or drugs being administered that might render the animal unfit for human consumption.

Novus Medical Announced As Exclusive WonTech Distributor
July 31, 2016 by CarlFrascina
Medical aesthetic device company Novus Medical is proud to announce its exclusive distribution of WonTech devices.
Novus Medical – launched in 2016 by Jim Westwood – will be the sole supplier of WonTech devices in the UK, marking a big leap for the market-leading device company.
Director Jim praised the union of Novus Medical and WonTech, which was exclusively revealed at the FACE Conference 2016.
"We are pleased to be able to announce our distribution of WonTech under out portfolio of devices at Novus Medical," said Jim.
"WonTech are renowned for high quality cosmetic devices and products. Developed through their significant research and development team, they have grown the domestic market through quality manufacturing and innovative product design. We're delighted to be offering UK clinics and salons some market-leading devices," he said.
WonTech have over 16 years of manufacturing experience for their Q Switched Nd:YAG platform and have created a very stable and high specification Q Switched Nd:YAG device, with over 4 wave lengths.
"The Pastelle is very high quality multi use platform. We have no doubt this will become a top device for clinicians across the country," said Jim.
WonTech is also the mastermind behind UltraSkin II: one of their leading products. With a significant domestic market share for HIFU, the UltraSkin II is a versatile HIFU device that will offer clinics a broad range of treatments for both body and face.
"The key area for use in the UK will be the face as the device can deliver multi depth coagulation zones enabling a 3 dimensional lifting effect. Results for the UltraSkin II are quick without any need for the client to have anaesthetic," explained Jim.
"This is in part due to the 1mm focal zone, which reduces pain thus increasing the clients' satisfaction. Whilst having a 1mm focal zone is good for facial and neck lifting, it does have limitations for body contouring, as to deliver treatments to the abdomen with a single line delivery at 1mm would lead to lengthy treatment times. Fortunately WonTech have developed the HIFU Body device which launches soon," Jim concluded.
Due to be launched in the UK later in 2016 – with a grid of 24 x 24 lines versus the 1 line delivery system with most existing HIFU devices – this will ensure effective and quick treatment times for fat reduction of the abdomen and other areas of the body for clients.
"PicoSecond technology is arriving in the UK with WonTech; expected later in Q4 2016, the PicoCare is a multi-wavelength platform. Expected to become one of the most effective and price sensitive pico second lasers, the PicoCare will be attracting lots of attention throughout 2017 and beyond."
Novus Medical will be offering a scalable model for clinics who wish to be able to offer PicoSecond treatments to their clients.
Utliising their considerable experience in research and design the PicoCare will become a real force in 2017 for Novus Medical.

Clinic Reports Surge In over 60's Seeking Fat Reduction & Botox To Mirror Mirren
December 10, 2014 by Laura Casewell
By Laura Casewell
• Actress Helen Mirren noted as 'age-spiration' for women in their sixties
• Enquiries into non-surgical treatments have trebled, say Cavendish Clinic & Medispa
• Body contouring and muscle relaxing injections top list of requested non-surgical treatments
The reported rise in the number of women in their sixties undergoing non-surgical cosmetic treatments is down to Hollywood favourite Helen Mirren, according to experts.
Leading aesthetic gurus believe the actress – now 69 – is reportedly behind the sharp increase in women aged 60-70 opting for treatments because of her youthful-looking skin, with one clinic calling the Dame 'age-spiration' to many patients.
The 'The Queen' star's sleek silhouette, clear complexion, and minimal signs of ageing were the top reason for the clinic's findings, as they labelled the rise a 'top to toe' seal of approval to the British star.
"We're inundated with patients in their sixties hoping to turn back the clock with non-invasive treatments like Botox and skin tightening, as well as body contouring treatments," explai ns Justine Thomas, the clinical director of Cavendish Clinic & Medispa in London.
"Women want to look their best at all ages, and Helen is a great example of a woman still in her prime."
"Women are visiting the clinic every week holding pictures of Helen Mirren in a bikini on the beach and asking, 'I'm in my sixties too! How can I look like that?' We think it's great to see a rise in gorgeous grandmas," she says.
"Helen is that generation's age-spiration, without a doubt."
The private clinic – which reported the number of women opting for non-surgical fat reduction and anti-ageing treatments has TREBLED since this time last year – believes the three-fold rise shows that women 60 onwards are celebrating the milestone, and making the most of what they have with the most advanced treatments available.
"We have ladies coming to us now from all over the UK in search of the best treatments for a natural look – just like Helen's. The days of wind tunnel-esq facelifts and liposuction being the only options to look more youthful are long gone, and we've entered into an age where looking youthful is more desirable than younger," Justine further explains.
"With so many outstanding energy-assisted devices like Vanquish and Coolsculpting now available, not to mention advanced training in injectables like Botox ensuring more natural results, women that want to mirror Mirren can do so without the cost and risk associated with traditional cosmetic procedures."
Non-surgical body sculpting treatments have been gaining in popularity, with The Harley Street Journal recently reporting a 50% increase in patients choosing energy-assisted treatments over fat reduction surgery since 2012.

Williams frustrated at not getting Lions share of game time
Corey Rosser NRL.com reporter
Fri 8 Nov 2019, 12:58 PM
After being overlooked for all three of Great Britain's Tests on the New Zealand leg of their tour, new Canberra Raiders signing George Williams admits it's been frustrating waiting for a chance in a squad stacked with six playmakers.
Despite Great Britain scoring just 14 points in losses to Tonga and the Kiwis over the past fortnight, coach Wayne Bennett has resisted the urge to make changes to his halves.
The Lions will again run with Gareth Widdop and Jackson Hastings as their playmakers against New Zealand on Saturday night in Christchurch.
Williams said after earning 10 Test caps for England between 2015-18 it has been tough not to even get a look-in.
"Of course I am disappointed. You want to play every week, but I'm not the coach," Williams told NRL.com.
The Ashes returns in 2020
"I was lucky enough to play for England three times last year against the Kiwis and I was hoping to maybe build on that, but it's not meant to be at the moment.
"There's so many great players in this squad and six [halves] doesn't fit into two or three. I am realistic and it is what it is.
"But I love the group we have got, and even the boys who aren't playing at the moment feel involved.
"Wayne makes it a really special culture and environment."
Match Highlights: New Zealand v Great Britain
While he hasn't been able to achieve his goals on the field, Williams has used his time in New Zealand to meet a handful of his future Canberra teammates who are playing for other nations.
"When we were in Auckland last week a few of the Canberra boys in the Great Britain team asked if I fancied coming out for breakfast, so I went along and met with a few of the other Canberra guys from the Australia and Samoa teams," Williams told NRL.com.
"Joey Leilua was there, Josh Papalii, Jack Wighton and Nick Cotric. They seem like great lads and I'd already been told they were very welcoming by the boys I know who have gone over there.
"I'm a bit nervous still, there's still about 20 boys to meet, but I am excited.
"After the tour I'll go home to England and get all my stuff and spend Christmas with family and then I'll fly back over with Johnny Bateman on January 2."
Former Raiders half Blake Austin, who gets his shot this weekend on the wing in Zak Hardaker's absence, is another Lion who is relishing the chance to work with Bennett.
"It was nerve-racking to get in and work with Wayne, but he's more than lived up to the hype and stories I have been told," Austin told NRL.com.
"I am enjoying seeing how he goes about his business. He is certainly different to all the other coaches I have had, and that's I guess what makes him special.
"I'm loving it and overall it's been a really good experience."

This petition made change with 15,817 supporters!
Football is the second largest sport in India in terms of popularity and viewership. And people all over the Indian subcontinent watch matches by staying up till late night. With EPL, La Liga and UCL being very popular they have a very big viewership. Now it's announced by Sony Pictures Sports Network that they won't be broadcasting the Spanish League (La Liga) on TV in India anymore. And thus Spanish League fans won't be able to watch the matches of their favourite teams anymore.
And if Facebook in case broadcasts, not everyone has access to high speed data connection to stream matches and then not many would watch it. Also the streams are somewhat behind and takes away the suspense. Plus watching on a small screen is tiring to the eyes as well. You cannot take away the television broadcast as Indians are primarily dependent on TV much more than streaming on web.
It's a request that La Liga be telecasted in Indian subcontinent.
La Liga Fan needs your help with "Sony : Petition for La Liga broadcast in the Indian subcontinent". Join La Liga and 15,816 supporters today.

Over the last few weeks we have heard and read about the death of several community members. There have been obituaries, editorial columns, news articles, and tributes floating across social media. Reverent discussions about the contributions of these citizens is taking place on street corners and over dining tables.
It is good to honor those who have made an impact in our lives and to our communities after they have died. It is good to recognize their contributions and accomplishments. It is good to tell the world how much their lives, friendship and partnerships brought joy to us.
Jim Calaway, Leslie Bethel, David Dodson and Louise Jackson are four citizens who our community has lost over the last month. Each of these individuals touched many lives and made a difference in our community. They each did it in very different ways, but the mark that they left on this region will be felt, in some cases, for decades or longer.
I just have a question. Why do we wait until people are gone to write their stories and to tell them how much we appreciate them as people and as community members? What is the purpose of lauding them for their accomplishments after they are gone? Shouldn't we be telling those who have an impact on our lives how much they are treasured and admired while they still walk with us? Wouldn't it be more fun to share those thoughts with them and to be able to see their delight in knowing how much they were revered?
I think both Jim Calaway and Louise Jackson had that chance, at least a little bit, during their lifetimes. Louise,and her husband Dr. Carter Jackson were named citizens of the year in 2005. I am aware of several articles about the philanthropic efforts of Jim Calaway, as the library at Colorado Mountain College bearing his name and the Calaway Young Cancer Center at Valley View Hospital were dedicated. They probably had an inkling that this community and others in the valley valued them, not only for what they gave but for what they did and who they were. But again, I guess you can never hear those things too often.
I did not know Mr. Calaway well. I knew Louise Jackson by reputation only. I knew Dave Dodson years ago, but lost touch over the years. I wish that I had known them all better.
However, I did know Leslie Bethel as a business associate and friend and I am very sorry that I never wrote a column about her. Although I told her how much I appreciated her efforts for Glenwood Springs, I should have taken that public.
Leslie and I did not agree about everything during my time on the Glenwood Springs City Council, but she and I understood that we both had the best interest of Glenwood Springs at heart. She worked tirelessly to make Glenwood Springs a gem that would serve the business community, the citizens and our visitors well.
Did I mention that she could be bullheaded? Yes, she could. She would crusade and lobby for what she thought was best. The pedestrian bridge and the detail on the Grand Avenue Bridge are recent evidence of that. She was not afraid to go toe-to-toe with CDOT, the contractors or city officials to see that things were done right.
Leslie was a visionary and a doer. She could see potential in things that most of us couldn't even imagine and she had the gumption to make it happen. She was intelligent, artistic, funny and driven. And she cared deeply about this community and it showed. She was beloved by many and feared by a few.
Leslie and I managed to find time to share a glass of wine and talk quite often, but not often enough. She had a lot of dreams, hopes and goals she wanted to accomplish. But, sadly, she was taken far too young.
Leslie's departure has left a hole in this community and in many hearts. Mine is one. But it serves to remind me that I must tell those who touch my life – whether I know them well or not – whose efforts, gifts, friendship and love I appreciate, just how much they mean to me.
Perhaps that is something we can all work toward in the new year. Let's not wait until the funeral to let people know how they have touched you. Reach out and tell them now. It will mean the world to them to know.

NAS KINGSVILLE
Kingsville, TX 78363, USA
NBHC Kingsville hospital corpsman works to minimize disease
Last Updated : 7/23/2018
By Rod Hafemeister for NHCCC public affairs office
KINGSVILLE, Texas (July 24, 2018) -- It happens every year: South Texas is dry for weeks, then it rains and then come the mosquitoes.
"They can lay their eggs in even the smallest amount of water," said Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Jessica Wright, a preventive medicine technician at Naval Branch Health Clinic (NBHC) Kingsville. "If it dries out, the eggs wait until it's wet again then hatch. Mosquitoes live to feed, breed and lay eggs. And carry disease."
According to Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service, 85 species of mosquito have been identified in Texas. If there is a disease that can be transmitted by mosquito, there's a species that can do it somewhere in Texas.
Texas mosquitoes have been found carrying West Nile, chikungunya, dengue, Zika and malaria. Corpus Christi finds mosquitoes carrying West Nile almost every year.
Wright, originally from Fayetteville, Arkansas, works to minimize the disease risk. She tracks mosquito populations at Naval Air Station Kingsville (NASK) and recommends control measures, like fogging.
"So far, including records before I got here two years ago, we haven't had any trapped mosquitoes test positive for disease," she said. "We're still tracking on Zika and West Nile that's a big one. Nothing yet and I hope it stays that way.
"But we have a mobile population that goes all over the world. Or people can get bit on vacation, come back here, get bit and spread that disease."
Wright has been in the Navy seven years and a preventive medicine tech for two. The job includes inspections of food service, childcare and recreational facilities, water systems, bacteriological analysis, epidemiological investigations, mass immunization programs and field sanitation as well as disease vector control.
"It encompasses everything. And I get to go outside," she said.
But she has a special passion about mosquitoes.
"I hate them. I can't think of any reason for them to exist except to spread disease," she said.
Wright's primary tool for combating mosquitoes is a mosquito magnet,' a trap that uses propane to emit a carbon dioxide scent that attracts mosquitoes into a mesh bag.
"I set it up overnight and in the morning extract the mosquitoes, live and dead, package them and ship them overnight to the state lab in Austin," she said.
The lab sends back results showing the numbers of mosquitoes by species and if any were carrying a disease.
So far this year, there have been few mosquitoes, even with the heavy rains.
Part of that has been the ongoing effort in recent years to reduce the places mosquitoes can lay eggs, such as ensuring there are no abandoned tires or other standing water traps.
Two old intermittent ponds were filled in several years ago, also reducing places mosquitoes could breed.
"We go out and pump the water when it could attract mosquitoes," said Arturo Alvidrez, performance assessment representative with NASK Public Works.
"We also use insecticide and fogging. I think we have a very effective control program on the base."
But another reason mosquito counts are down is the frequent high winds that scatters the insects.
"If the winds are high, say above 20 mph, you're not going to catch anything in the traps," Wright said.
But Wright's policy is not to take chances.
"My attitude is, let's fog and kill them and not have this risk," she said. "I'd rather make sure everyone is protected."

Should You Go Grain-Free? 4 Healthy Diet Tips to Try it Out
Should we give up gluten, whole grains, all carbs-—forever? The pros weigh in on this growing diet trend.
June 16, 2015 Kerri-Ann Jennings
Should we give up gluten, whole grains, all carbs—forever? The pros weigh in on this growing diet trend.
Now joining the ranks of fat, dairy, sugar, and other dietary outcasts: grains—that huge and diverse food group that encompasses everything from farro to Frosted Flakes. Some critics claim that even whole grains, long the sweetheart of the American Heart Association, are public health enemy No. 1.
Take cardiologist William Davis, MD, author of Wheat Belly, who contends that wheat is a key cause of obesity. His theory goes that the wheat we eat today was hybridized 50 years ago, and now contains gliadin, one of two proteins that make up gluten and which binds to opiate receptors in our brains and stimulates our appetite. Or talk to David Perlmutter, MD, a self-proclaimed "renegade neurologist" and author of Grain Brain, who has put forth a theory that all carbohydrates—a category that includes grains—are poison for the brain. In a nutshell, he says, carbs raise blood sugar, which triggers inflammation and leads to a variety of diseases, including Alzheimer's.

Both doctors are partially right. Low-carb diets are as effective as other diets (though no more so in the long run) at helping people lose weight, which can mitigate many of the health problems associated with obesity, such as diabetes and even low energy, says Julie Miller Jones, PhD, a professor emerita of nutrition at St. Catherine University in Minneapolis, who researches grains. And refined grains have been linked to disease-causing inflammation (as have processed meats, sweets, and fried foods).
But the anti-grain movement is held up by cherry-picked evidence that in no way paints a complete picture, says David Katz, MD, author of Disease-Proof: The Remarkable Truth About What Makes Us Well. "Proponents of grain-free diets look for the studies that show the negative effect of excessive refined grains and then apply it to all grains, or they use research on the potential adverse effect of genetically modified wheat on lab animals and then make sweeping generalizations about the adverse effect of all wheat on people," says Katz. "People love [the conclusions] because finding a nefarious element in the food supply gives them a single scapegoat for all of their ills."
The plain truth is, grains can be good. "The scientific link between routine consumption of whole grains and better health is very strong," says Katz. Numerous studies have associated whole grains with reduced inflammation, risk of heart disease, and even overall mortality. And to Davis's point about gliadin, all varieties of wheat—even so-called ancient varieties like kamut—contain the protein, so it's nothing new. It's also true that gliadin can cause our bodies to produce an opiate-like substance, gliadotropin, but our intestines don't have the type of transporter needed to absorb it, so it never reaches the brain's opiate receptors to cause that supposed appetite boost. (The study Davis uses to back up his theory used rats injected with gliadotropin.)

The health foe, then, is not grains per se, but the amount and type we eat. On average, Americans eat seven servings of grains daily—one more than what's recommended in a 2,ooo-calorie diet, according to the USDA's 2o15 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee. More isn't better in this case, especially because too many of our servings come from refined grains and flours, which, unlike whole grains like millet, quinoa, barley, and brown rice, are stripped of their fiber-rich bran and nutrient-rich germ, leaving only the endosperm for small amounts of vitamins and minerals. Refined grains are present in a lot of Americans' favorite foods, like pizza, cookies, and other top-selling prepared snack foods. They're typically combined with a hefty dose of fat, sugar, and salt—more pleasure-producing ingredients that make food even harder to resist—and wrapped in a convenient grab-and-go package.
All that to say, it's time to reconsider your grain intake. Evaluate how much and what types you're eating—keep notes for a day if it helps, or check nutrition labels to get a true assessment. Then use our tips below for incorporating grain-free meals into your weekly menu and avoiding some pitfalls of the Standard American Diet. And to make it easier, try our four grain-free recipes, which offer flavorful alternatives to dishes typically loaded with the refined grains you should be nixing.
TIP 1: Start with breakfast.
Whole grains include fiber, which slows digestion, helping to release sugar into your bloodstream at a steady pace throughout the day. The carbs in refined grains, on the other hand, digest rapidly, turning into simple sugars and leading blood sugar to spike, then drop quickly. If you don't want to switch to whole-grain breakfast options, combine refined grains with protein or fat, such as white toast with nut butter (fat/protein) or avocado (fat). Like whole grains, protein or fat decelerates digestion and prevents a sugar dump into the blood. Another nutritious strategy for blood-sugar management: Opt for a low-carb morning meal and avoid refined-carb-heavy breakfast favorites like pancakes, pastries, cereal, and toast. For instance, fuel up with protein-rich coconut-flour carrot muffins or scrambled eggs and sautéed spinach.
See also Carrot-Walnut Muffins
TIP 2: Find new convenience foods.
Create fast, flavorful meals by seeking healthy substitutes for go-to staples like white bread, cereal, crackers, and pasta. For instance, instead of a dessert of cake or cookies, try chia pudding topped with berries (pour 1 cup milk over 3 tablespoons chia seeds and gel in the fridge for several hours). Or, use cauliflower "couscous" as the base for a stir-fry, and you get a day's worth of vegetables (2–3 cups) in a single meal.
See also Zucchini "Pasta" with Mint Pesto
TIP 3: Fill up, not out.
Because most of us eat more grains than we should (one extra serving a day, on average), we could be downing more calories per day than we need. To keep calories in check and still satiate your appetite, swap traditional grains, such as rice or wheat flour, for non-starchy vegetables or fruits, recommends Georgie Fear, RD, author of Lean Habits for Lifelong Weight Loss. Substituting one cup of zucchini noodles for wheat-based spaghetti saves you 2oo calories and almost 4o grams of carbohydrates, while still providing a substantial amount of food.
See also Cheesy Cauliflower Bowls
TIP 4: Slash inflammation.
"From a nutritional standpoint, we can show that a diet full of doodles, Ding Dongs, and donuts can increase inflammation," Jones says of the products packed with refined grains. On the other hand, Jones points out, research shows that whole grains decrease the risk of disease-causing inflammation, as do the fruit-or-vegetable replacements for grains in meals. For a sweet snack, nix donut holes and pulse 1 cup almonds and 1 cup pitted dates in a food processor until a coarse meal forms, then roll into bite-sized balls.

Your cambelt (or timing belt) is a vital part of your engine. It is responsible for keeping some of the critical moving parts such as the camshaft, crankshaft and pistons, operating in sequence. If the timing belt fails, there is a potential for severe damage to your engine, which is why manufacturers recommend that it is replaced at a certain mileage. Luckily the AutoMend network is on hand to put you in touch with your local vehicle maintenance and repair experts. We've got the UK covered, so there will always be someone available locally whether you live in England, or in Scotland, Wales or Ireland. Whether you are looking for a routine cambelt replacement, or in need of a repair following a timing belt failure, our members can help.
A break in a timing belt most often happens when starting up or switching off your engine. The reason is that these are the two phases of engine use when the tension on the belt is at its highest.
For a non-interference engine, this does not usually cause any real damage. The end result will usually be a requirement for a cambelt or timing belt change by a competent mechanic.
For an interference engine, there will almost certainly be damage caused. A belt breaking at start-up or shutdown, may cause bent valve stems or damaged valve guides. A belt breaking while the car is running at speed can cause a great deal of damage. The valves may break away into the cylinders, bending connecting rods and destroying the piston. Further damage to the cylinder head and the engine block is also possible – you may end up needing a replacement engine.
Belt tension is critical. A badly adjusted belt can slip or whip if it is too loose. If it is too tight, it can put excessive strain on the bearings of the cogs it connects with. This can strip teeth, cause excessive wear a shortening of the belt life, and can make the engine noisier. The belt is held at the correct tension by tensioners, which themselves can fail, allowing a derailment of the belt.
The material that a typical timing belt is made from contains polyester, fibreglass, Kevlar cables and steel wire. A belt can fray with use, and small pieces of the material can run around inside the engine compartment, risking damage to other components. Additionally, even if your vehicle does not do many miles per year, you still need your timing belt replacing because corrosion can be going on undetected.
If you have a timing chain, and it is loose, you may hear a rattling noise coming from the front of the engine. This can be an indicator that it may need tightening or changing.
A broken chain at low speed may not cause any real damage. However, a break at high speed and therefore high RPM is a different matter. The metal chain will basically whip around your engine and cause damage wherever it lands. The result can be very expensive indeed, you may end up with a written-off engine.
What does the cambelt or timing belt actually do?
The majority of petrol or diesel car engines are what is known as 'four-stroke combustion' engines. The name 'combustion' is used because when the engine is operating, it burns the fuel. The 'four-stroke' part of the name is because the process of burning the fuel in the engine is accomplished in four strokes. These are: intake, compression, power and exhaust strokes. During one cycle of the four-stroke process, the camshaft rotates one whole turn, and the crankshaft rotates two whole turns. The turns of the camshaft and the crankshaft operate the valves and pistons inside the engine's cylinders, and the movements of all these parts need to be precisely co-ordinated for the engine to function. In simple terms, the cambelt or timing belt ensures that the rotation of the camshaft and the crankshaft in your engine operate in time with each other. This timing, known as synchronisation, ensures that the engine valves open and close at the appropriate time as the pistons in the cylinders perform their intake and exhaust strokes. If your car has what is called an 'interference engine' the cambelt has another critical task. This is to make sure the pistons, which share the same operating space as the valves, do not come into contact and collide.
This is a type of engine where the valves, when fully open, extend into the space within the cylinder that the pistons also use. They don't do this at the same time – the timing belt is there to prevent them coming into contact. This type of engine is highly efficient, but maintenance is critical to prevent issues such as a broken or slack timing belt. If the belt isn't operating properly, a collision within a cylinder can damage your engine beyond repair.
Cambelt, timing belt (or chain) – what's the difference?
It can be confusing when there are several names for what appears to be the same thing, so let's look at the similarities and differences between a cambelt, a timing belt and a timing chain.
A cambelt and a timing belt are both toothed belts. They have teeth on the inner surface, and are usually made of a composite material, similar to that used in tyre manufacture. A timing chain is just that – a roller chain, similar to a bike chain, and is made of metal. Belts are lighter, cheaper, and tend to run more quietly than chains, because they are made of softer material. However, chains do not wear out as quickly as belts.
In very simple terms, a timing belt and a timing chain do exactly the same job but are made of different materials. The cambelt, does a similar job to the timing belt, but operates in a slightly different way.
How often does my cambelt or timing belt need replacing?
The cambelt or timing belt is a wear component. It is not expected to last for the life of the engine and will need replacing at some point. Most motor manufacturers estimate timing belt life to be around 60,000 to 120,000 miles. You will find the exact figure for your vehicle in the manufacturer's handbook. If you plan to embark on a long car journey, as part of your preparations check that timing belt replacement will not fall within the planned mileage. Get the belt replaced before you go, and it will be one less thing to worry about.
When you have your timing belt or cambelt changed, the belt tensioners (which wear at a similar rate) will also be changed as a preventative measure.
Why am I being advised to have my water pump changed?
It is best practice for a water pump to be replaced at the same time as a cambelt or timing belt. This is recommended for several reasons. Water pumps are wear components that are expected to be replaced during the life of the engine. Assuming your water pump is the same age as your timing belt, it will be wearing out by the time the belt needs changing. It also makes economic sense to replace the pump at the same time as the engine is being dismantled to replace the timing belt.
How do I know if the timing belt has been replaced on my car?
If you have purchased a second-hand car, it's a good idea to be certain if the cambelt or timing belt has been replaced to schedule. If you are lucky enough to get a full set of maintenance records with the vehicle, check back to see what was done and when. If there are no reliable maintenance records available, it can be really hard to know what has been done, and you can't afford to continue to drive the vehicle beyond the safe age of the belt. As a precaution, book a maintenance check with your local AutoMend garage or mobile mechanic to give you total peace of mind.

Mentors and pivots and pilots, oh my! Here's what happened to seven startups over 12 weeks.
Bruce Marable, CEO of Employee Cycle, pitches during the PSL Accelerator demo night.
A comedy club really is a great stand-in for a pitch room: under the bright, hot spotlight, seven startups pitched their stuff on Tuesday at Helium Comedy Club, as part of the finale of this year's Philly Startup Leaders accelerator program.
The room had gravitas: from government officials like Mayor Jim Kenney and Councilman Allan Domb, to corporate giants like Comcast and IBM, reps from stakeholders like Ben Franklin Technology Partners, reporters from a handful of outlets and low-key angel investors. The seven startups to emerge from the 12-week program pitched their companies to a hefty representation of the local tech ecosystem.
"You make our city great and you're going to continue to," Kenney said.
It was also the first big, semi-public event helmed by PSL's new executive director, Kiera Smalls. The former marketing manager at bike-share program operator Bicycle Transit Systems said she witnessed startups working "extremely hard" to craft clear pitches.
For the early-stage companies to come out of the accelerator program — which takes no equity and gives no investments (which is usually what "accelerator" signifies) — the running question we had was: what did the experience yield?
Here's what the founders had to say.
For Venezuelan founder Luis Gamardo, founder of Besto, the key takeaway from the program was guidance through a tricky move for any startup: the pivot. The company, formerly makers of an app that helped shelters boost animal adoption, came to the realization that the app market was too crowded and decided to relaunch as a vitamin pack subscription service for pet owners. So far, it has secured its first five paying customers.
Before the accelerator, the team behind app NativX wanted to roll out its a mobile application for locally sourced travel recommendations to a bunch of cities. Hearing feedback from mentors and other companies, it decided to instead focus on a pilot program to launch in Philly this May.
Employee Cycle's Bruce Marable connected with an ideal mentor for his HR data analytics company: Dave Becker, the CEO of edtech company CampusESP.
"Both of us are straight shooters," said Marable in reference to the honest, unfiltered feedback he was able to get from Becker.
Jenzy is making an app that sizes up kids feet and matches it to the "real" shoe size in each model. It's a play on the dwindling number of brick-and-mortar stores and the rise of ecommerce purchases. The thought is: if parents get their kids' sizes right, both companies and customers won't have to deal with returns. Cofounder Carolyn Horner said access to PSL's network and the insight from other companies and experts was a key takeaway.
Phil Heifetz, founder of Saturn Care and healthcare industry veteran, learned to incorporate storytelling into his pitches as part of the accelerator. His company makes an engagement dashboard for diabetes patients.
One more for the pivot list: realLIST startup WeGardn is going B2B, with a model that connects food producers with wholesale food buyers. Cofounder Greg Donworth said the accelerator helped shape the business model as the company turns to the more predictable, stable business-to-business approach.
Wearwell founder Erin Houston recently relocated to Philadelphia, where she's building her personal shopping subscription service with a sustainability angle. Houston said the accelerator was a good crash course — call it Philly Tech Community 101.

On the Usefulness of Refutation in Philosophy
. April 11, 2018 at 6:41 pm 5
"To put something forward is an act of courage, and especially when you know people are going to tear it down. But I think tearing it down is the right response."
That's philosopher Agnes Callard (Chicago) talking with polymath economics professor, columnist, and blogger Tyler Cowen (George Mason) as part of his "Conversations with Tyler" series. The whole interview is fascinating, including the following exchange on the adversarial character of philosophy and the focus of philosophers on refutation.
COWEN: You gave a recent talk… as to why philosophers refute each other so much. As a method for doing philosophy, is one philosopher trying to refute another, say through the medium of a public talk? Do we do too much of that or too little in philosophy?…
CALLARD: I think we do roughly the right amount of it in philosophy. I wrote that talk because there's been a lot of discussion about the underrepresentation of certain groups of people in philosophy —women and minorities —and the fact that some practices that we have in philosophy might be contributing to that.
There can be quite a lot of rudeness and just nastiness in the way that people conduct themselves, and that perhaps that kind of aggression is putting groups of people off of the discipline. That's an important reflection that we're having.
However, in the context of that, I heard several people say, "Yeah, why do we even refute one another? Why are we doing it that way?" And that made me think, "Uh-oh, somebody better explain why we're doing that." Because that's really important. We have to do that.
We have to not do it badly. We have to not do it in an inhumane way, but I think it's essential to philosophy. It's sort of what philosophy is, that we refute one another. But that's because, in a sense, I agree with Socrates.
I think we do the right amount of it, though there's some amount of it's being threatened right now.
COWEN: If I look at at least some parts of the American legal system, there's a kind of adversarial method. I'm not sure that works well.
If I look at many parts of the American private sector, in business meetings, people aren't focused on refuting each other. They work together in small teams, and they try to improve each other's arguments. The private sector, to me, on average seems to work better than the legal system.
So why don't we do more philosophy like this? Someone presents a paper. You then have seven or eight people stand up. It's kind of assumed most arguments are wrong or insufficient. Those seven or eight people try to improve on what the person said. They can only say positive things, only build up the argument in various ways.
Then at the end, everyone goes away. It's like, "is this project worthwhile?" Almost like venture capitalists, most of the time it's "no." But sometimes, the initial talk and those improvements will be so good, people will say, "Oh, if most ideas are wrong to begin with, and this is rationally known, why spend all this time on refutations?"
CALLARD: We all think that our ideas are right, at least at the time that we're proposing them.
COWEN: But that can't be rational, right?
CALLARD: It's actually rationally required in the sense that to believe . . . Say I say, I believe there's snow on the ground outside. That's a belief of mine. Then I also believe that's true. Then I can also say, "There's snow on the ground outside." Those are just three ways of saying the same thing. In order to have any beliefs at all, you have to think that those beliefs are true.
COWEN: Some beliefs, the snow beliefs. But the "Is there free will?" beliefs, you figure whatever you think, it's probably wrong.
CALLARD: If you go to a philosophy talk about free will, they're not going to say that there's free will or there isn't.
COWEN: Exactly. Complicated.
CALLARD: They're going to say something much, much smaller and much more complicated, something that they feel they can say. We say what we feel we can say, right?
At the very least, we believe it at the time. And that's quite important. When you say most arguments are bad arguments or wrong, in a way, that's right. It's really hard to be Socrates's interlocutor. It's much harder to be the interlocutor than to be Socrates, and I think Socrates very much appreciates that. He's very grateful to his interlocutors, and he praises them constantly.
To put something forward is an act of courage, and especially when you know people are going to tear it down. But I think tearing it down is the right response. So let me defend that, as opposed to the helping.
About the justice system versus the private sector: generally speaking, they have different goals. Generally speaking, most of the private sector is not aiming at justice, and it's not aiming at the particular form of justice.
COWEN: But it's aiming at truth, right? Getting something done by blending synthetic knowledge.
CALLARD: I don't know whether it's aiming at truth either. What I would mean by aiming at truth is aiming at knowledge. I would think that, most of the time, the knowledge would be, at most, a kind of proximate goal but not an ultimate goal.
The reason why we have adversarial systems for pursuing certain goals is that there's actually a tension inside the goal itself. The goal threatens to pull itself apart. In the case of justice, we have the goal that we want to convict the guilty, and we want to acquit the innocent. And those are not the same goal.
They pull apart a little bit because if you're really, really, really committed to acquitting the innocent, you'll be like, "Look, if there's any doubt, if there's any possible doubt of any kind, we should acquit." Then you're not going to get to the other goal. It's that tension inside of the goal itself of justice that's generating need for the adversarial system.
There's a similar tension inside the goal of philosophical knowledge. It's one that I think was best articulated by William James in his famous article, "The Will to Believe."
There's the goal of having truths. You want to have some truths. You don't just want to be a skeptic. You want to have some beliefs. You need beliefs for living your life and everything like that. On the other hand, you don't want to believe anything false.
James thought that the science and epistemology of his time was too obsessed with that second goal: "Well, if there's any doubt at all, just don't believe it." He was pointing out that we had this other goal too.
I don't agree with James about how we solve the problem, but he's right that there's a real problem there, that the goal threatens to pull itself apart. And it's in those contexts that the adversarial division of labor makes sense.

It seems to me that if we attempt to refute these claims, we are at the same time implicitly endorsing them.Report
"We have to not do it badly. We have to not do it in an inhumane way. . ."
Yes. Back in grad school at Tennessee (long ago) I can still vividly recall reading, of all things, papers on identity (!) where the interlocutors sometimes used very brutal language to refer to antagonist's views that not only demeaned positions, but the ones proposing those views. I can still recall my feelings of discomfort reading them–but at the same time sensing that unless I also used such strong language of refutation, that I would not be taken seriously.
But one Professor–who I never took a a class from, unfortunately–Betsy Postow, recently deceased, taught me in one minute of one day a lesson that has stuck with me since. That was a lesson not just about how to level criticism in a "not. . . inhumane way", but how *to receive* criticism–and thus potentially break the cycle of viciousness that my readings on identity had shown me to be an archetype of philosophical discourse. She was in the main office mailroom, where I was no doubt checking for replies on my job apps, and she received her latest copy of Analysis. While I sorted through whatever rejections or acknowledgements I had, she paged through her journal apparently to skim a reply to a paper she had previously published. She looked at me and simply said, "Well, he blew me out of the water." I said something like "What?" and she explained "A paper I had in Analysis–this guy just completely refuted it." I guess I said "Sorry" or something. But what she said–and the sheer equanimity and just plain cool way she said it–it's always stuck with me. She was at peace with being part of an ongoing philosophical conversation even if she was refuted. As I said, I never took a class with her, but that day, in just one minute, she taught me more about admirable norms of civil philosophical discourse than I could ever wish to find. And I pass that small but important wisdom on in respect and gratitude to her.Report

How lovely Alan – thanks for that.Report

Thank you Cathy–that means much!Report

But we should be able to disagree, to try and show someone that they're mistaken, without trying to blow them out of the water. Accepting "attacks" on one's position with equanimity – that's not participating in a conversation; if anything, it's fooling oneself that one is participating in a conversation.

Q: annotate command "no such load to file" with -R The annotate command fails when using the -R option to load additional files before loading the models with version 2.4.1.beta. The files appear to be found, but the error still occurs (if I use a wild-card path the first file is displayed as the error). A similar error message appears here (https://github.com/ctran/annotate_models/issues/78) The solution there is to use:
gem 'annotate', github: 'ctran/annotate_models'
but if I replace annotate in the Gemfile with the above, and do:
gem uninstall annotate
bundle install

Then bundle reports on the first line:
Updating git://github.com/ctran/annotate_models.git
and later:
Using annotate (2.5.0.pre1) from git://github.com/ctran/annotate_models.git (at master)
Note that neither message says "Installing". Then executing annotate ends up with the annotate executable not being found. Any solutions? (Ruby 1.9.2p280, Rails 3.2.2)
