Female directors discuss redefining representation in filmmaking at panel

Women are taking their stories back.
Frustrated by being misrepresented in film productions dominated by men, women are fighting back by replacing them in every level of the industry, said Harrison James, director and Girl Trip co-founder. They are reclaiming their voices by becoming the best in their creative fields, and not just the best women, said Carolyn Chen, a film director and panelist at the Women Directors of Distinction Panel.
Hosted and moderated by James, Sunday's panel at the Broadwater Theater in Hollywood delivered insight into women's roles in the world of filmmaking. Girl Trip is an organization focused on advancing women in the arts, striving for equal visibility and pay. Featuring Chen and other directors, such as Ry Russo-Young, Ondi Timoner and UCLA alumnae Heather Graham and Garrett Bradley, their conversation focused mainly on the narrative aspect of the directorial process and how it is influenced by one's own intuition. What this panel truly wanted to communicate, though, is how excellence in the filmmaking field can be both separate and integral to their identities as women, and it is up to them to decide how they present that connection, James said.
The panel began with James attributing positive traits to the work and character of each panelist – "adventure" to Timoner, "clarity" to Chen, "dignity" to Russo-Young, "interdisciplinary" to Bradley and "uplifting" to Graham – aiming to validate the sometimes differing messages each panelist came to deliver.
Chen said while women are often shamed for emoting in professional spaces, she finds that channeling left-brain analytics without being afraid of the right brain's intuitive creativity can empower both the artist and their work. Even still, that empowerment can further blossom by removing gender from the equation altogether.
Powerful filmmaking comes from a strong sense of vulnerability and intimacy, Bradley said. Her first feature film began as a senior thesis at UCLA's School of Theater, Film and Television. More interested in contrast and finding room for beauty and nuance, Bradley chooses to focus on her craft as an extension of her own creative perspective separately from her gender. Interviewing passengers on Greyhound buses from New York to New Orleans eventually became source material for her feature film debut "Below Dreams." Bradley found that presenting an objective persona proved more conducive to absorbing information she could use to enrich her craft.
"I don't see myself as a female director, I just see myself as a director," Bradley said.
In contrast, Graham found that she wanted a female perspective to relate to, and when she couldn't find enough of them, she became one herself, she said. When women see themselves as supporting characters in male stories, the creative world misses out on valuable and largely untapped potential, Graham said. She said she felt discouraged at the lack of representation in female direction, and her transition from acting to directing prompted self-reflection that ultimately helped her identify what she wanted to say through her films. For her directorial debut "Half Magic," Graham said she gave her characters the spunk and freedom her own Catholic upbringing suppressed. She said female representation goes beyond the quality of directing – it's about the legitimization of women's voices.
"We're 50 percent of the population," Graham said. "Where are our stories?"
This fight for representation can also translate into the technical aspect of filmmaking. Two-time Sundance Grand Jury Prize winner and documentary filmmaker Timoner described her intuition on set as guiding her to be a conduit for the material awaiting representation. She said giving exposure to the underrepresented and underserved stems directly from a gut feeling her career has taught her to trust, as exemplified in her upcoming film on the American drug misuse epidemic, "Chrysalis." The need to follow your gut is an instinct women should not suppress for fear of criticism, Timoner said.
"I listen, I hunt and gather and then I sculpt," she said.
In this sense, the combination of traditionally feminine and masculine strengths can serve to elevate the creative product above traditional expectations, Timoner said.
That same sentiment was echoed by Russo-Young, who said following her gut in the face of other people's expectations is her only true guideline.
"The only time you ever regret anything is when you don't listen to your gut," Russo-Young said.
Third-year film student Sareeta Young attended the panel and said she appreciated the panelists' personal anecdotes and the advice given during an audience Q&A because she was seeking guidance on how to navigate the system as a woman of color. Such a panel would be beneficial to bring to the UCLA campus, she said.
"I quite frankly don't have any women professors at the moment," she said. "I see that the school is making an effort, but I would love to see more people from the outside community come and speak."
As the event came to an end, Bradley's closing remarks summarized the panel's message. New voices and people occupying their rightful space in the industry is promising, and the world can expect to see more interdisciplinary filmmaking processes as a result, Bradley said.
"It's important to speak your mind in this world – you have a lot of momentum with what's going on in our culture, and it's a good time to practice it," Bradley said.

Use a single hole puncher shown in the picture below or if have a 3 hole puncher, just use a part of the puncher to get the hole punched.
You are finished. Just string any type of string through your hole and attach to whatever you are using the tag for. Good luck making your own!
If you have any questions or I made a typo in this instructable, just message me :] or comment.
Is the type of glue important?
I don't think so. As long as the washer remains attached then it's okay.
I love the washer idea, I am always running out of eyelets, or they are just not the right size for the job.
If you have a grommet tool, you could cut the hole and add a nice brass grommet at the same time. Most tools are geared towards lager sizes though. Maybe an eyelet tool?
The washers are a clever way to prevent tearing. Nice!

Under the Code, every person has the right to be free from racial discrimination and harassment in the social areas of employment, services, goods, facilities, housing accommodation, contracts and membership in trade and vocational associations. You should not be treated differently because of your race or other related grounds, such as your ancestry, ethnicity, religion or place of origin.
Canada, its provinces and territories have strong human rights laws and systems in place to address discrimination. At the same time, we also have a legacy of racism – particularly towards Indigenous persons, but to other groups as well including African, Chinese, Japanese, South Asian, Jewish and Muslim Canadians – a legacy that profoundly permeates our systems and structures to this day, affecting the lives of not only racialized persons, but also all people in Canada.

The Ontario Safe Schools Act: School discipline and discrimination
July 2003 - The main purpose of this report is to examine whether the Ontario Safe Schools Act and Regulations and the school board policies on discipline, known by some as "zero tolerance" policies, are having a disproportionate impact on racial minority students and students with disabilities. Advocates of zero tolerance argue that the policies are colour blind and fair because all the students who commit the same offence will be treated the same. Opponents point to other jurisdictions where there is data showing that suspensions and expulsions have a disproportionate impact on Black and other racial minority students and students with disabilities.

Examples of racial discrimination (fact sheet)
2005 - People can experience racial discrimination in a variety of different ways. In its most overt form, racial discrimination can occur as a result of stereotyping, prejudice and bias. Racial discrimination also occurs in large measure through subtle forms of differential treatment.

Racism and racial discrimination: Systemic discrimination (fact sheet)
2005 - Racial discrimination can result from individual behaviour as well as because of the unintended and often unconscious consequences of a discriminatory system. This is known as systemic discrimination. Systemic discrimination can be described as patterns of behaviour, policies or practices that are part of the structures of an organization, and which create or perpetuate disadvantage for racialized persons.

Easter Sunday Bombings: Man hacked to death in Sri Lanka communal riots
HT Team May 14, 2019
SRILANKA : A Muslim man was killed and dozens of shops and mosques were destroyed in fresh communal violence in Sri Lanka in the worst unrest since Easter Sunday bombings which killed nearly 260 people. While the unrest was concentrated in three districts north of the capital, a night curfew was imposed across the country to prevent the spread of violence.
The man was hacked to death, confirmed Rauff Hakeem, a Cabinet minister and and leader of the Sri Lanka Muslim Congress. "Mobs had attacked him with sharp weapons at his carpentry workshop," a police official told AFP.
The Lankan government also reimposed a ban on social media after the clashes. Army chief Mahesh Senanayake said the troops have been instructed to deal very strictly with those who defy the curfew. The army will shoot on sight if anyone defies the order, he added.
Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe in an address to the nation, said the military has been asked to quell the anti-Muslim riot and urged public cooperation to the security forces to bring the situation under control. "The security forces have been given full powers to deal with those who violate the state of emergency and the islandwide curfew," he said. He also appealed for calm urged the public not to be swayed by false information.
The flare-up is the worst violence in the three weeks since Sri Lankan Islamist bombers blew themselves up in four hotels and three churches on Easter Sunday.

50cent Sued For $200Million Over Power Series!
The writer claims 50 Cent stole the idea for TV show from one of his books.
A writer named Larry Johnson is suing 50 Cent for $200 million, claiming that 50 stole the idea for Starz TV show "Power" from one of his manuscripts.
Johnson claims that he submitted a manuscript called "Tribulation of a Ghetto Kid" back in 2005 to Nikki Turner, an employee of 50 at G-Unit Books. He believes Turner showed the script to 50. He cites the similarities between his own manuscript and "Power" -- both feature main characters who have goatees, are former drug dealers trying to become legitimate businessman, and own the hottest nightclub in their respective cities (ATL in "Tribulation," NYC in "Power"). Both feature a sidekick with a hot temper.
Given 50's recent financial woes, "Power" is the best thing he has going for him right now -- it is the highest rated show on Starz -- and it would be a shame if Johnson's accusations are true.

The WoodenBoat Forum > The Bilge > Salt? A question about cooking.
View Full Version : Salt? A question about cooking.
Steve McMahon
I haven't been feeling the best for the past week or so. I figured out how to turn on the TV and Netflix, watched a few documentaries. I Watched a little 4 part series, Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat with chef Samin Nosrat. She coats everything with salt before cooking, steaks, chicken, veggies. I'm not talking a sprinkle, I mean she coats it. Like 2 tablespoons on a strip loin until it turns white. Is this normal? Even when she did a rice dish with her mother they added about 6 tablespoons of salt to the pot of water and added even more after it was cooked? Are all high end restaurants doing this? (I don't get out much)
Norman Bernstein
I suspect that many people do 'under-salt' their food... but what you describe strikes me as extreme and excessive, and I doubt the many restaurants do this. I don't recall ever ordering anything in a restaurant that I would describe as excessively salty.
Definitely off the wall, unless baked in a salt crust.

She points out the salt she uses in that film, I switched and followed her lead, so far so good.
She say's repeatedly, "you have to taste it"!
The number one mistake made by most home cooks is not using enough salt.
For, you know, what it's worth.
I agree. I tend to salt/ taste and salt some more ;)
Although I can tell from one bite if the chef is a smoker, they tend to over salt.
FYI the show is brilliant.

Take everything in moderation.
Low Salt Intake Can Be Harmful
There is some evidence suggesting that a low-salt diet can be downright harmful.
The negative health effects include:
Elevated LDL cholesterol and triglycerides: Salt restriction has been linked to elevated LDL (the "bad") cholesterol and triglycerides (12 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12535503)).
Heart disease: Several studies report that less than 3,000 mg of sodium per day is linked to an increased risk of dying from heart disease (13 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16490476), 14 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21307382), 15 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21540421), 16 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22110105)).
Heart failure: One analysis found that restricting salt intake increased the risk of dying for people with heart failure. The effect was staggering, with a 160% higher risk of death in individuals who reduced their salt intake (17 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21731062)).
Insulin resistance: Some studies have reported that a low-salt diet may increase insulin resistance (https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/insulin-and-insulin-resistance/) (18 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21036373), 19 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10371376), 20 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12691602/), 21 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17425514/)).
Type 2 diabetes: One study found that in type 2 diabetes patients, less sodium was associated with an increased risk of death (22 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21289228)).
BOTTOM LINE:A low-salt diet has been linked to higher LDL and triglyceride levels, and increased insulin resistance. It may increase the risk of death from heart disease, heart failure and type 2 diabetes.
Health Risks and Disease Related to Salt and SodiumWho's at high risk of developing health problems related to salt consumption?
People over age 50
People who have high or slightly elevated blood pressure
People who have diabetes
What happens to my body if I eat too much sodium?In most people, the kidneys have trouble keeping up with the excess sodium in the bloodstream. As sodium accumulates, the body holds onto water to dilute the sodium. This increases both the amount of fluid surrounding cells and the volume of blood in the bloodstream. Increased blood volume means more work for the heart and more pressure on blood vessels. Over time, the extra work and pressure can stiffen blood vessels, leading to high blood pressure, heart attack, and stroke. It can also lead to heart failure. There is also some evidence that too much salt can damage the heart, aorta, and kidneys without increasing blood pressure, and that it may be bad for bones, too.
High blood pressure is a leading cause of cardiovascular disease. It accounts for two-thirds of all strokes and half of heart disease. (1 (https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/salt-and-sodium/sodium-health-risks-and-disease/#ref1)) In China, high blood pressure is the leading cause of preventable death, responsible for more than one million deaths a year. (2 (https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/salt-and-sodium/sodium-health-risks-and-disease/#ref2))
The importance of potassiumSodium and potassium have opposite effects on heart health: High salt intake increases blood pressure, which can lead to heart disease, while high potassium intake can help relax blood vessels and excrete the sodium and decrease blood pressure.
Our bodies need far more potassium than sodium each day, but the typical US diet is just the opposite: Americans average about 3,300 milligrams of sodium per day, about 75 percent of which comes from processed foods, while only getting about 2,900 milligrams of potassium each day. (3 (https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/salt-and-sodium/sodium-health-risks-and-disease/#ref3),4 (https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/salt-and-sodium/sodium-health-risks-and-disease/#ref4))
A recent study in Archives of Internal Medicine provides more evidence that high salt diets have negative effects on health, and found that:
People who eat high sodium, low potassium diets have a higher risk of dying a heart attack or from any cause.
People can make a key dietary change to help lower their risk: Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, which are naturally high in potassium and low in sodium—and eat less bread, cheese, and processed meat, as these and other processed foods are high in sodium and low in potassium. (5 (https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/salt-and-sodium/sodium-health-risks-and-disease/#ref5))
In this study, people with the highest sodium intakes had a 20 percent higher risk of death from any cause than people with the lowest sodium intakes. People with the highest potassium intakes had a 20 percent lower risk of dying than people with the lowest intakes. But what may be even more important for health is the relationship of sodium to potassium in the diet: People with the highest ratio of sodium to potassium in their diets had double the risk of dying of a heart attack than people with the lowest ratio, and they had a 50 percent higher risk of death from any cause. (5 (https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/salt-and-sodium/sodium-health-risks-and-disease/#ref5))
Cardiovascular diseaseBesides contributing to high blood pressure (https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/salt-and-sodium), consuming high amounts of sodium can also lead to stroke, heart disease, and heart failure.
Research also shows that reducing sodium lowers cardiovascular disease and death rates over the long term. (6 (https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/salt-and-sodium/sodium-health-risks-and-disease/#ref6))
3 key studies about sodium and cardiovascular disease:1. Intersalt: In the 1980s, researchers measured the amount of sodium excreted over a 24-hour period (a good stand-in for salt intake) among more than 10,000 adults from 32 countries. The average was nearly 4,000 milligrams of sodium a day. Yet the range was huge, from 200 milligrams a day among the Yanomamo people of Brazil to 10,300 milligrams in northern Japan. (7 (https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/salt-and-sodium/sodium-health-risks-and-disease/#ref7)) Populations with higher salt consumption had higher average blood pressures and greater increases of blood pressures with age. Four groups of people—the four countries with salt intakes under 1,300 milligrams per day—had low average blood pressures and little or no upward trend of blood pressure with age.
2. TOHP: Two Trials of Hypertension Prevention (TOHP) were conducted in the late 1980s and early 1990s. They tested the impact of lifestyle changes on blood pressure, including weight loss, stress management, nutritional supplements, and consuming less sodium. In each of the studies, small decreases in blood pressure were seen with sodium reduction over the 18 to 36 months the trials lasted. Years after the trials had ended, the researchers surveyed the participants and found that:
After an average of 10–15 years, the TOHP participants in the sodium-reduction groups were 25 percent less likely to have had a heart attack or stroke, to have needed a procedure to open or bypass a cholesterol-clogged coronary artery, or to have died of cardiovascular disease. (8 (https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/salt-and-sodium/sodium-health-risks-and-disease/#ref8))
The higher the ratio of potassium to sodium in a participant's diet, the lower the chances were of developing cardiovascular trouble. (9 (https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/salt-and-sodium/sodium-health-risks-and-disease/#ref9)) This suggests that a strategy that includes both increasing potassium and lowering sodium may be the most effective way to fight high blood pressure.
3. DASH: The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) trials, begun in 1994, were major advances in blood pressure research, demonstrating the links between diet and blood pressure. (11 (https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/salt-and-sodium/sodium-health-risks-and-disease/#ref11)) In the first study, 459 participants were randomly assigned to either a standard American diet high in red meat and sugars, and low in fiber; a similar diet that was richer in fruits and vegetables; or the "DASH diet," which emphasized fruits, vegetables and low-fat dairy foods, and limited red meat, saturated fats, and sweets. After eight weeks, both non-control diets reduced systolic (the top number of a blood pressure reading) and diastolic (the bottom number of a blood pressure reading) blood pressure, with the DASH diet producing a stronger effect.
The second study found that lowering sodium in either the DASH or standard American diet had an even stronger impact on reducing blood pressure. The DASH study contributed much of the scientific basis for the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2010, which recommends reducing daily sodium to less than a teaspoon.
Other diseasesCancer
Research shows that higher intake of salt, sodium, or salty foods is linked to an increase in stomach cancer. The World Cancer Research Fund and American Institute for Cancer Research concluded that salt, as well as salted and salty foods, are a "probable cause of stomach cancer." (12 (https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/salt-and-sodium/sodium-health-risks-and-disease/#ref12))
The amount of calcium that your body loses via urination increases with the amount of salt you eat. If calcium is in short supply in the blood, it can be leached out of the bones. So, a diet high in sodium could have an additional unwanted effect—the bone-thinning disease known as osteoporosis. (1 (https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/salt-and-sodium/sodium-health-risks-and-disease/#ref1)) A study in post-menopausal women showed that the loss of hip bone density over two years was related to the 24-hour urinary sodium excretion at the start of the study, and that the connection with bone loss was as strong as that for calcium intake. (13 (https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/salt-and-sodium/sodium-health-risks-and-disease/#ref13)) Other studies have shown that reducing salt intake causes a positive calcium balance, suggesting that reducing salt intake (https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/take-action-on-salt) could slow the loss of calcium from bone that occurs with aging....
Low Salt Intake Can Be HarmfulThere is some evidence suggesting that a low-salt diet can be downright harmful.
On a minor note can also cause cramp and heat stroke.

Seems to be a current fad in restaurants to not put salt shakers on tables anymore. Salt is not poison, maybe to a few people, but everyone's different. (Also, have you noticed there are no spoons on the table in restaurants anymore?)
Andrew Craig-Bennett
I haven't added salt in cooking for twenty years at least, but neither do I go out of my way to avoid salt. There is more than enough in any ordinary diet without adding any.
Very few people in 21st century America have to worry about not getting enough salt in their diet. Restaurant and prepared supermarket/frozen food is loaded with the stuff, and more people tend to use too much salt, rather than too little.
What about getting iodine?
https://target.scene7.com/is/image/Target/GUEST_c454b74a-2b4d-46db-ae24-e2892b232721?wid=488&hei=488&fmt=pjpeg
Plenty of iodine too. Deficiency diseases are quite hard to come by in the rich world.
I think that the theory is that the chef ensures that it is correctly seasoned before sending it out. Spoons? How do they expect you to eat soup?
I agree. I do add salt in cooking though. We rarely eat out - maybe once or twice a year. We also never buy processed foods. Everything is done from scratch except the odd times my wife goes away I might splurge for a pre made lasagna or something like that for a quick easy meal.
AlanMc
salt isn't salt isn't salt. i would bet if you listened they said "kosher salt" when they did that heavy dousing. i buy kosher flaked salt and there's not as much salt in any given measurement as your standard morton's table salt. it took some getting used to but now i salt all my food like you see on tv. so it looks like a lot, but it's not as much as you would think.
You may be right. My sister lived in Portugal for a number of years and through her I am stocked up in a dozen kinds of salt and they all taste different. I don't think we have any iodized table salt in the house. I use a pink Himalaya salt in my electric salt and pepper grinder on the table. I expect I have a lot to learn about all the varieties.
I would re read the label.
Kosher salt or kitchen salt[1] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kosher_salt#cite_note-1) is coarse edible salt (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edible_salt) without common additives such as iodine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iodized_Salt). Used in cooking and not at the table (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_salt), it consists mainly of sodium chloride (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_chloride) and may include anticaking agents (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anticaking_agent). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kosher_salt
Salt is a mineral, and as such, pure salt is always kosher. Some brands of salt have a kosher symbol on the package, and that way you know that a reliable kosher certification agency is checking to make sure that nothing else gets mixed in to the salt and that it's 100% kosher. https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/614954/jewish/What-Is-Kosher-Salt.htm
Unless you are using the same weight of salt, but the bigger flakes make it look like more?
We get the same effect with the sea salt that we use, I have pyramid sea salt crystals 3/4 inch a side.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kosher_salt
https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/614954/jewish/What-Is-Kosher-Salt.htm
yeah, my flaked kosher salt (what you see most tv people using when they season out of a bowl of salt) is light and fluffy compared to the dense granular table salts. if you put the table salt in your mouth it would be crunchy like sand but the kosher salt melts instantly. i for one, like the kosher salt b/c you can be heavy handed with it without over salting the food. with table salt, a minor error ruins the desired seasoning.
john welsford
A young woman, cousin by marriage, daughter of a woman who is an extremist health food nutter and who among many other things is a strong believer in naturopathy, raised her daughter without iodine in what little salt the family had in their diet. Daughter at 16 had a very noticeably swollen throat, was eventually taken to a doctor by a friends mother and was found to have goitre. The very thing that iodised salt is there to prevent. Her mother refused to allow treatment, used naturopathic remedies, by 18 that swelling was serious, and on the pretext of going to university in a town far enough away to need her to live away from home, she left home and ( socialist healthcare) went and had surgery and follow up treatment. After that she was not welcome back home, sad stuff. Continued her education, ( again, socialist education system) and is now a happy and normal young lady doing well in a career in Marine Biology.
Me, I have very low blood pressure, so take a little extra salt as a management thing. Salt seems to be one of the latest things that the health diet people are agin, and I had a woman at a table next to me at dinner in a hotel one night turn to me and berate me for putting a very light sprinkle on my veges. Told me that I should know better and that at my age it was dangerous and would cause heart problems from high blood pressure. I quietly told her that she knew nothing about me or my health status, and that salt was part of my recommended blood pressure management system, and that my bp was around 105/70 and needed to not go lower.
She went very quiet and left the table very soon after.

I use a pink Himalaya salt in my electric salt and pepper grinder on the table.
Electric! Huh! I bet that's a hell of a lot quieter than my gas powered salt and pepper mill!

So the "taste" bud for salt is singular, so essinatally all salt be it sea salt from the Dead Sea Salt dried on the backs of Scandinavian swimsuit models or Morton out of the shaker hits the same taste bud and tastes exactly the same.
That said the additives or extra minerals as well as texture and mouth feel vary, for that reason and probably the only thing that AlanMC and I will ever agree on I use the flaky Kosher Sea Salt.
atta boy joe... COMMON GROUND!!! we can hang out over a margarita now (salted rim of course)
Sounds good. I have added Flaky Kosher Sea Salt to my Amazon list.
good deal. don't be scared to put 2-3 times the volume of salt on the food
New study released. Too much salt is the biggest dietary killer
So which diets have got it in for me?
The Global Burden of Disease Study is the most authoritative assessment of how people are dying in every country in the world.
The latest analysis used estimates of countries' eating habits to pin down how often diet was shortening lives.
The dangerous diets were those containing:
Too much salt - three million deaths
Too few whole grains - three million deaths
Too little fruit - two million deaths
Low levels of nuts, seeds, vegetables, omega-3 from seafood and fibre were the other major killers.

So this article appeared this afternoon in my e-magazine TASTE. The brand and type of salt makes a difference:
Cooking magazine editors are no strangers to the complaints department. Frequently, readers make liberal substitutions or skip over steps in recipes. "I cut half the sugar, replaced the white flour with rye, and only used egg whites. This cake was terrible. VERY DISAPPOINTED." But when complaints started rolling in for one Bon Appétit magazine recipe, the editors paid attention. The dish in question was on the cover of their January 2013 issue: a fat, brined pork chop dramatically set in a black cast-iron plan—its thick, caramelized crust the tone of chestnut. Foaming butter, browning in swirls with a sprig of singed thyme and few bulbs of golden garlic, surrounded it. You wanted to cook it right away.
"We got letters from readers saying, 'We followed it to the letter and it came out inedibly salty,'" says Carla Lalli Music, Bon Appetit's food director. "When we hear the same thing from several people, we take that very seriously." In a double misfortune, this cover recipe was also in the Cooking School issue, which promised to teach readers how to do the basics flawlessly. While many food publications have cut staff in recent years, paring down their recipe development, Bon Appétit puts every recipe through a rigorous process, with multiple tastings and tweakings before it is "cross-tested"—made by a different recipe editor, one who had nothing to do with creating it—to make absolutely sure that it works. The pork chop recipe, like every other recipe, had been put through the wringer. What had happened?
If you've cooked out of a book, magazine, or newspaper in the past three decades or so, chances are pretty good that many of the recipes you've used have called for kosher salt. It's been an American standard for a good while. The trouble is that the two major kosher salt brands—Diamond Crystal and Morton—perform in wildly different ways. Diamond Crystal was the salt that Bon Appétit used in its test kitchen. After a brief investigation, the editors found out that some of the readers with salty pork chops had used Morton, and others had used regular table salt. Lalli Music swiftly put out a directive to the test kitchen team that from then on, recipes would be cross-tested with Morton salt, and recipes for both brands of kosher salt starting showing up in the magazine's pages soon after.
All salt is the same ingredient: NaCl, or sodium chloride. But a cup of Morton is nearly twice as salty as Diamond Crystal. Its thin crystals, made by pressing salt granules in high-pressurized rollers, are much denser than those of Diamond Crystal, which uses a patented pan-evaporation process, called the Alberger method, that results in pyramidal crystals. While different brands of fine sea salts and table salts generally have around the same weight by volume, kosher salts do not. "And it's not only the weight," says Lalli Music. "Morton is a coarser salt. It takes a little longer to dissolve." So even at the same weight, it actually performs differently. It's easier to add too much of the slow-dissolving Morton salt because it may not have fully liquefied when you've tasted something.
That kosher salt is even the standard for recipes is something of an American peculiarity, and like Fahrenheit and inches, we've clung to it despite its inconveniences. In the late 1800s, American salt companies started targeting the Jewish community with "koshering salt," a coarser-grained variety good for removing the blood from meat and thus the kind of salt you would use for "koshering" meat. The name was later shortened to "kosher salt," something of a misnomer given that it's defined by its texture, not rabbinical oversight, and it was marketed to the wider public in the 1960s. American chefs soon adopted the stuff, prizing its purity and flaky texture in contrast to other varieties, like table salt, which often has added iodide or anti-caking agents to prevent clumping.
"Kosher salt is the restaurant standard for when you're using your fingers to sprinkle," says New York Times dining columnist Melissa Clark, the author of many cookbooks, including, most recently, Dinner: Changing the Game. "The large grains fall easily on a piece of meat, and chefs get to know how much their pinch encompasses. So they can season by feel rather than measuring. And it's cheap." The restaurant standard was soon adopted by cookbooks, magazines, and newspapers. Clark, like the editors at Bon Appétit, uses Diamond Crystal, as does Samin Nosrat, who just published her first cookbook, the excellent Salt Fat Acid Heat. "I learned to cook at Chez Panisse, and we mostly used Diamond Crystal," says Nosrat. "At some point, we switched to sea salt and everything became super salty. It took chefs a while to adjust." Even professionals can get thrown off when the salt is different.
"The mind-set one enters with Diamond Crystal is 'Oh, I can use a lot of this and an extra bit won't make a difference,'" Nosrat says. "You don't have that freedom with other salts. I like that freedom." But for her cooking column in The New York Times, she calls for sea salt. Why? For one recipe, a copy editor at the Times removed the brand name of Diamond Crystal in the line that called for kosher salt. So to avoid angry reader mail, Nosrat switched to sea salt. (She wasn't aware of Bon Appétit's incident.) A while back, her friend, Jill Sanpietro, Chowhound's food editor, tested a recipe for chocolate chip cookies she had tested 20 times, but still got an irate letter from a reader saying the cookies were so salty that she couldn't serve them. The difference between Diamond Crystal and Morton, of course, was the discrepancy. "That haunted me," said Nosrat.
Kosher salt never quite made it to Europe or Asia, where sea salt is more prevalent. For the publishing of Nosrat's book in the U.K., her publisher has told her that they'll have to substitute for Diamond Crystal, which is not widely available there. Cookbook author and baking expert Dorie Greenspan, who started out using the salt she grew up with, Diamond Crystal, earlier in her career, now uses fine sea salt and fleur de sel. She made the change when she started working with French chefs and wanted to better translate their cooking into recipes, and stuck with it because she came to prefer the flavor—and consistency across brands. American bakers mostly stay away from kosher salt, too. "Fine sea salt is better for baking and dissolves really quickly in liquids," says Clark. "And it's more consistent for measuring." That's why bakers, like food scientist Shirley Corriher, author of Bakewise, and Rose Beranbaum Levy, author of The Cake Bible, call for sea salt or fine salt.
The editors at Bon Appétit had known for some time that there were differences between the two brands. They published an article in 2008 on the discrepancies. The New York Times also came out with its own article, "Warning: Measure Your Salt," in 2010. And other cooking sites, like Food52 and Smitten Kitchen, have published their own missives. Serious Eats has taken the step of specifically calling for Diamond Crystal in its recipes for which measuring salt makes a difference. Yet for all that has been written on the two kosher salts, the information hasn't filtered down to the cooking public.
And in many recipes, it doesn't affect things too much, so readers can blissfully use their Morton salt in recipes tested with Diamond Crystal without anything going wrong. "Sometimes we'll cross-test a recipe, and we'll find it's negligible," says Lalli Music. Some recipes suggest salting to taste, and in others the amount is small enough that the final product isn't noticeably different. But in cases where you can't season to taste, like baked goods, sausages, cured fish, meatballs, pickles, and brined meats, and there is a noticeable difference, Bon Appétit took the extraordinary step of publishing two salt measurements, like a zucchini scone recipe this year that called for either one tablespoon of Diamond Crystal or one and a half teaspoons of Morton. Right now, only Serious Eats and Bon Appétit specify the kosher salt brand, and only Bon Appétit offers two measurements. But that may change. All it takes is a few angry reader e-mails to scare an editor straight.
skuthorp
I don't like the stuff, never have. I am really sensitive to any foods with salt in them and have seldom added salt to my cooking, and never added it on top.
Bob (oh, THAT Bob)
Years ago I started cooking with koshering salt instead of fine iodized, better flavor, only thing better is sea salt and not by much (vastly cheaper than sea salt, used by most chefs and rated 9/10 with sea salt as 10/10). However I also learned that iodine was introduced into salt in the US because of serious studies that proved lack of it in some areas was the cause of reduced intelligence. Not a problem in many other areas like Asia where a diet that includes things like seaweed provides plenty of iodine. I try to remember to periodically have a seaweed salad, yummy. If I am exercising rigorously and daily, salt intake is not a problem. If not active enough (like this winter, foot problems have kept me from walking with weights in lieu of biking), I have to watch my salt to keep my BP down.
We have Miso soup occasionally, the taste stays with me for days.
The iodine also prevents goiter and thyroid problems.
Nicholas Carey
Eat seafood. Iodine is added to table salt to solve a problem that is largely non-existent.
So the "taste" bud for salt is singular, so essinatally all salt be it sea salt from the Dead Sea Salt dried on the backs of Scandinavian swimsuit models or Morton out of the shaker hits the same taste bud and tastes exactly the same.
It doesn't.
Go to the store. Buy an assortment of different slats — Morton table salt, kosher salt, sea salt, Maldonado flaked salt from England, sel de gris -- A.O.C. sea salt from France -- whatever.
Do a blind taste testing with your friends.
I guarantee that you will discover significant differences in taste between the various salts (anything from Morton tastes like it leaked out of a drain pipe at a DuPont chemical factory).
I'm also willing to bet you a beer that you'll discover that Maldon flake sea salt from England tastes the best.
I thought all salt was pretty much the same ... until I did a blind taste test like that.
I'm also willing to bet you a beer that you'll discover that Malone flake sea salt from England tastes the best.
Channelling Donn, That is MALDON

No what I was saying is there are Five basic tastes are recognized today: salty, sweet, bitter, sour, and umami. Salty and sour taste sensations are both detected through ion channels. Sweet, bitter, and umami tastes, however, are detected by way of G protein-coupled taste receptors.
Salt is salt, BUT and this is a BIG BUT that I also mentioned in my post. Additional minerals and compounds within the salt will give it different "flavors" and mouth feel also based on flake and granular size. The amount of salinity in each flake or grain vs the amount of inert or other minerals and "terroir" will result in different flavor of the salt.
NaCl pure sodium chloride, is the same as every other NaCl pure sodium chloride
we tried one of those himalayan salt blocks that you can cook on. all i put on the meat was my tellicherry pepper. cooked that on the salt block and wow, you could really taste something other than salt and my normal pepper. it was the minerals. after a minute you realize that mineral flavor is there.
Danged autocorrect! Fixed it.
When I was a kid I used to lick these in the field. When the cows weren't using them of course. :)
Todd D
Pink salt like the himalayan stuff gets the color from having some KCl (sylvite) dissolved in it. The KCl makes the salt more bitter.
Having some NaI in your salt is a good thing particularly if you live down wind from a nuclear power plant.

Our time here in Jamestown is finally winding down. We leave on Friday, headed Celina OH for the Gypsy Journal Rally. We've missed them the last two years since the one in Elkhart, IN in 2010. Anxious to see everyone and have a laughing good time and even learn something along the way. This is our favorite RV rally, we call it the non-rally rally. LOL!
From there we are heading to Elkhart, IN for a couple of weeks. We have repairs scheduled at Mor-Ryde on the 24th, hoping to get the last of our suspension issues fixed. Time will tell. After that we go back to Maryland for the month of October. We'll do the annual Red Helmet Ride, visit family, stick in a few doctor appointments and top it all off with the Halloween themed wedding of Stu's youngest daughter.
Then it's back here to Jamestown for November and on into December, at least until the weather gets too cold. After that we head south to Florida for the winter, staying at Bee's RV Resort in Clermont again. I guess we're in a winter rut but Bee's is convenient and reasonably priced. We like the campground and everyone is friendly...and they all love Sadie. LOL!
If you remember, I did a lot of pre-blogging with our A-Z of Us posts so I could concentrate on participating in Camp NaNoWriMo. The goal is to write a novel in a month, well, at least 50,000 words of a novel. I had signed up for the month of August and my 50k was validated this weekend. I managed to write 50k words of my novel in 19 actual writing days. That allows me to claim the title of WINNER. I still have another 10-15k to write, then the edits will start. My final goal is to have the book up on Amazon by sometime in November. Phew!
It seems like only yesterday that we arrived here in Tennessee. We spent about six weeks at Maple Hill Campground (waving HI to Betty and Klaas DeJong), then we moved to our property for another month with one more week to go.
All our utilities are in for our RV site, including a landline so we could have DSL for our Internet. Unfortunately, our Verizon coverage this far out of town is very iffy. The DSL is great and I can finally get a little more up to date.
So here are some highlights of our time here in TN.
We got a shed which gave us a spot to park the bikes, put our storage stuff and give Stu a workshop.
Stu bought a dump wagon to help him move things around on our property.
We bought a grill (on sale at Lowe's), loving it!
Stu has put a lot of work into fixing the shed up for him. Here are some before photos.
Of course, we now separate, recycle and burn the rest of our trash. Got to love country living.
We've had great weather in the evenings, nice to sit outside and enjoy the sounds and smells.
Stu has enjoyed being able to work on our vehicles. Today he built ramps for Freddie the Freightliner. Of course they are too heavy to move without a handcart...but they worked perfectly.
I hope to get photos uploaded and post a good update before the week is out, now that we have DSL on the property. WOOT!!! Thanks for you patience.
I know, I've already done Zion so it will be the bonus link (to photos). Zippo is new, even thought we covered PA before.
Zippo Lighters have been around for a long time and even though they aren't used much in the US anymore, they are overseas and they have a HUGE collector base. They are located in Bradford, PA and the tour is free. But even if there were a small charge, it would be worth it to see the collections and displays.
The first time I visited Zippo, my late husband and I were living just outside Bradford. In fact our first ever motorcycle poker run started out at Zippo. But back to the tour, this was around 2001 and the main display was WWII and Korea based as well as a movie section. Amazing display.
When Stu and I visited in 2008, the movie section had been expanded and the war display updated. It was still amazing and worth the time to visit.
There are a couple of things we try to do yearly, while some we've only done once and might or might not do again (Quartzsite, Daytona Bike Week, Sturgis Bike Week to name a few).
Both of our annual events are related to Stu's career as a firefighter for Anne Arundel County (MD). The first is the annual Retired Anne Arundel County Firefighter Reunion, traditionally held in Kissimmee, FL. This works well for us when we winter in Florida but we have also flown in from San Diego when we were staying in Yuma one winter.
All bikers are invited to participate in this show of support for America's fallen fire heroes and their survivors.
Okay, so I'm stretching things a bit but 'X' was definitely the tough one.
Xotic - our cruises to Panama and the Western Caribbean can certainly be considered exotic. The flowers, the native residents, the food, the animals, the cultures, the activities. I hope you will take time to view some of the amazing photos I've linked to.
What are your Xotic and Xtreme adventures?
We all love our lifestyle because we can move easily, at least most of the time. But sometimes we can't move or can't move quickly enough and we get exposed to some nasty weather.
What about you? Have you had to deal with severe weather or have you been able to move/out run it?
"Why are you going on vacation? You don't need a vacation? Your life is a vacation?" If you're an RVer, you've heard this before.
The truth is, while we have a wonderful life that enables us to travel and see the country, daily life always intervenes. Repairs and maintenance, health and other medical issues, family times - both the good and the bad.
So, we like to plan at least one vacation a year, sometimes we manage to eke out two. Here are some of our favorites.
I don't know if this is right but I swear Utah has the greatest number of amazing National Parks in the US. We had planned to visit three of them, Zion - Bryce Canyon - Arches, but the weather refused to cooperate. We had a great time visiting Zion but had to leave early due to rain and then cold weather forced us to drop plans to visit Moab.
We ended up spending some time in Green River, UT at a campground that was right behind the hotel where I spent several days waiting out the rain on my 2005 motorcycle trips! We will go back and hit some of those great hot spots.
Oh, never been there? Be sure to try US 89 for a scenic drive.
There is still a lot of Texas to see...we'd especially like to stay in the Hill Country area and get in some riding there.
Solar, the sun and harnessing its power. What a perfect thing for RVers. I got my solar system after my first Quartzsite visit and after boondocking there, Stu decided to do the same. Here are the posts about our installations and our setups.
Living on the road doesn't mean real life goes away. Repairs on our rolling homes can come more frequently, think of it as driving your house through an earthquake and a hurricane...every time you drive down the highway. Things break plus there is always some sort of scheduled maintenance to be done.
Tire blow out due to ???
Have photos but they are on the other computer. We now are fully utilitied...septic is hooked up and the shed has power installed. Life is good!
Today the world's largest yard sale started....US 127 is packed with people and cars. McDonalds is busier than a Saturday date night.
Oh, and Sadie is having a blast running the legs off her BFF, Keta.
Will post photos and another update when I can get the pics loaded into SmugMug.
When I started on this A to Z of US, I worried that the letter Q would stump me. How could I have forgotten the RVing mecca of Quartzsite? It's the essence of quirky, with a dash of flea market, a splash of RV dealers and a splosh of RV/camping vendors all mixed with thousands of RVs either in the local RV parks or boondocking in the desert.
Everyone needs to experience it at least once. Most either love it or hate it. I loved it and couldn't wait to introduce it to Stu. Here are some blog posts and photo links from my visit as well as ours.

Dozens of migrants rescued after boat runs aground on Spain's Lanzarote
By Borja Suarez
LANZAROTE, Spain, June 18 (Reuters) – More than 40 African migrants were rescued after their boat ran aground on the rocky coast of Lanzarote in Spain's Canary Islands late on Thursday, emergency services said, while over 100 people on two more boats made it safely to other islands.
At least three people died and at least two more were missing, including a six-year old girl. Rescue workers with a helicopter were searching the coast around Lanzarote's northern region of Muelle de Orzola for them on Friday morning.
Local resident Marcos Lemes, who was first on the scene and alerted emergency services, told Reuters he had begun pulling people out of the water after giving his phone to a boy to use as a torch.
"I ran out of the house with two buoys that I keep at home and when I got there it was madness … I saw a huge number of people on the reef."
A dozen of the rescued group, including two babies and two young children, were transferred to hospital, the regional emergency services said.
Another boat carrying 58 people made it to Fuerteventura and a third with 52 people landed on the tiny island of El Hierro.
So far this year more than 5,700 migrants have made the dangerous crossing from Africa to the Canaries archipelago, over twice as many as in the same period in 2020, which itself saw an eightfold increase from 2019.
A record 850 died on the route last year, according to the United Nations migration agency, which suggested COVID-19 had prompted many workers in struggling industries like fishing or agriculture to migrate.
With arrival facilities on the Canaries packed to capacity, authorities have housed of migrants thousands in camps where conditions have criticised by rights groups. (Reporting by Borja Suarez; Additional reporting and writing by Nathan Allen, editing by Andrei Khalip and Catherine Evans)

Sheriff Tom White cannot stop the rash of robberies that he suspects are being engineered by the local saloon keeper, Ace Crandall, who wants to gain control of Paiute, the richest county in Arizona. By threatening foreclosure, Ace is forcing the citizens of Trailhead to sign a petition to remove the sheriff from office for incompetency, but many are holding out. He has also kidnapped the sheriff's nephew, Cole White, and hired The Dakota Kid, an escapee from the Abilene jail, to impersonate him. Dakota arrives during one of Ace's stagecoach robberies and saves the life of the sheriff's young grandson Red. Because the sheriff has not seen the real Cole for years, he easily accepts Dakota as his nephew. At the sheriff's request, Dakota delays the departure of the local schoolteacher, Mary Lewis, who is frustrated by the frequent absences of her only pupils, Red and his friend, Judy Dawson, and wants to find a new position. When she realizes the children have been learning their lessons and have promised to attend class, however, she decides to stay. The sheriff then deputizes Dakota to help with the unloading of the cattlemen's monthly payroll. To cause confusion, Ace stages a gunfight in his saloon around the time the money is to arrive. The struggle spills out into the street, and the bandits, who are in league with Ace, get away with the money as Dakota pretends to try to stop them. The sheriff takes full responsibility for the theft by applying for a loan on his ranch to cover the cattlemen's payrolls. Judy's father, Sam Dawson, owes Ace money, and when Sam refuses to sign the petition, Ace sends his men to evict Sam from his ranch. As Ace's thugs attempt to dismantle Sam's home, the sheriff and other townspeople collect almost enough money to pay Sam's debt. To avoid suspicion about his impersonation, Dakota donates the extra money that enables Sam to pay Ace in full. He wins the admiration of the crowd, but is shot in the arm by one of Ace's men. Mary patches him up, and their romance blossoms. Later at a party, the sheriff announces that he has been awarded the loan. Dakota, meanwhile, begins to admit to Mary his new feelings about being part of a family and community, but is interrupted by the nomination of a new candidate for the position of county sheriff: Cole White. During the party, Ace discretely summons Dakota to his gang's hideout, then threatens to hurt the children unless Dakota delivers the letter from the bank describing the pickup place for the sheriff's loan money. Red and Judy, who have discovered Dakota's true identity, follow him, and watch as he delivers the letter to Ace. They guess that he is acting against his will, and steal the letter back before Ace can read it. In their haste, they also take the petition. When Ace learns that the bank letter is missing, he remembers seeing the children nearby and pursues them to the sheriff's office. There he finds the petition in the hands of the sheriff, who has just discovered the purloined items. Ace accuses the sheriff of its theft. When the children and Mary ask Dakota to help the sheriff, Dakota realizes they know who he is, but still have faith in him. Later, Dakota provides information about the delivery of the money to Ace, intending to help the sheriff trap Ace and his men red-handed, but he is forced to disguise himself and assist with the theft. At the scene of the holdup, the sheriff's men do not recognize Dakota, which makes Dakota a target on both sides. When he fails to return as planned, the worried children ride out to look for him and find the real Cole, who tells them what happened to Dakota. Red goes to the site of the holdup to alert his grandfather. In the gunfight that follows, the sheriff and his men are victorious, and Ace and his men are brought to justice. The sheriff, who will accompany Dakota on his return to prison, believes that the Texas governor will grant him a parole, and Mary promises to wait for him. Also waiting for Dakota in Trailhead will be the job of sheriff, which the real Cole will hold until he returns.

2NE1 TV has actually been around for a long time now, but i've only just started watching it >< i tried to start with season one, but i ended up fast forwarding to season 3 (which is the latest season XD) the great thing about 2NE1 TV is that it's originally released with ENGLISH SUBS!! ^^ 2NE1 JJANG!!


Coventry City are the last visitors of 2017 to Brunton Park on Saturday afternoon.
Looking ahead to the weekend, manager Keith Curle said: "We saw when we went down to the Ricoh earlier in the season that Coventry are a good side with quality in attacking areas.
"We know we can cause them problems as well, so I expect this to be a very good encounter. We want to send our fans into the New Year on a high, and there is no better way to do that than with a good performance and result on Saturday.
"We're determined to work hard and to continue to improve as we go into 2018. We know that if we can continue this run we will very quickly eat up the ground into the top reaches of the division.
"We have nothing to fear from any team in this division and, if we get it right, we know we can beat any team on our day."
Our Associate Match Sponsor on Saturday is Gordons Construction.
Our half-time entertainment will be another of our popular crossbar challenges - keep an eye out on social media because it could be you ... and you'll be doing battle against some of the visiting fans from Coventry.
Our TV screens will be showing all of the sports coverage on the day, to help you to get in the mood for the big game. And live football from abroad will be on after full time, for those of you who want to stay with us when our game has concluded.
Our mascots for this game are Jake Patterson and Erin Carter.
Both Jake and Erin are massive Danny Grainger fans, so he'll need to make sure he's ready to be mobbed on the day.
Have a great day with us both!
Mr Oldham was last with us for the 1-1 home draw with Barnet in September. Shaun Miller scored our equaliser late in the day and there were no names taken on the day.
It's a 72-page double-header for the festive period [covering the Accrington and Coventry games].
If you missed it on Boxing Day, make sure you pick up your copy this weekend.
United's final fixture of 2017 was for the visit of Coventry City to Brunton Park on a wet and wintry Saturday afternoon.
The Blues were unchanged for their fourth consecutive fixture having built up a good head of steam through the festive period.
Strong work from Brown put him into a crossing position early in the piece but his cut back went behind the blue shirts and Beavon was able to hook it clear.
A whipped long-range free kick from Grainger skipped off the surface and had to be watched by Burge, as Carlisle looked to get forward, and Hope did well to get in front of his man to nod a high ball from Liddle into the box. The Sky Blues stayed tight and shepherded it away.
Coventry almost found a way through when Doyle released Beavon in midfield. He rolled the ball across to McNulty, but Hill and Liddle did well to close the striker down and make the block. The visitors stayed forward and a cross from Stokes had to be dealt with by a headed clearance from Brown. Shipley was on to it in a flash but his shot bent well wide.
Carlisle responded with a nice overlap from Grainger as he took over from Parkes. The cross was cleared and the follow up shot from Devitt was well blocked by Kelly-Evans. United came again with a thunderbolt from Parkes when he stayed deep from a Jones corner. He struck it well but the keeper took it firmly under his grasp.
Captain Danny Grainger slashed a difficult volley over from a wide angle as the hosts sent balls into the danger area, but they thought they'd found a way through when Hill picked out Brown on the right wing with a raking pass. The right back sent it onwards for Hope, and there were huge appeals for a penalty when the striker unleashed a shot which appeared to be stopped by outstretched hands. The referee ignored the shouts and waved play on.
Midfielder Mike Jones miscued a shot when Devitt brought him into play, and Shipley did the same when a half chance came his way at the other end. Keeper Jack Bonham was the first to have to make a save in anger when McNulty dropped a shoulder and opened a gap. The shot was fierce but strong hands matched it.
Reggie Lambe wasn't too far away when he turned inside, beat the tackle and went for the top corner as United turned up the first half heat. The volley had purpose but it flew just past the angle of post and bar.
Grainger then did the hard work when he chased his man down and won possession as he stopped the ball from going for a corner. He tried to put it on a plate for Bennett but his cross ran across the face of goal and bobbled behind to safety.
The Cumbrians almost nicked the lead on the stroke of half time when a Grainger corner hit a Coventry man and dribbled just past the post. The second delivery was just as good, but Bennett was denied when his shot on the spin was blocked on the line.
Coventry were gifted a goal just five minutes into the second half when a lobbed ball forward was allowed to bounce by Hill. McNulty couldn't believe his luck as he had the time and space he needed to pick his spot.
The Sky Blues almost doubled their lead on the break when Bayliss charged through on the overlap. He went for a toe poke on the run and was disappointed to see it rattle off the post and bounce away to safety.
Bayliss was denied again when Bonham went full length to make the save from another of his surging runs, but Carlisle gave themselves a boost when Jones felled Kelly-Evans inside the box. McNulty stepped up to take the spot kick but Bonham went the right way and made the save.
A 25-yard free kick from Devitt was blocked at source late in the game, but Carlisle still had defending to do as the tricky Davies won a corner. Liddle cleared that delivery, but Grainger was disappointed to send a late free kick into the Warwick as Coventry held on to their lead for a claim of all three points.
Carlisle United - Bonham, Brown, Liddle, Hill, Parkes (O'Sullivan 61), Grainger, Lambe (Etuhu 76), Jones, Devitt, Hope (S Miller 71), Bennett. Subs - Bacon, T Miller, Cosgrove, Ellis.
Coventry City - Burge, Grimmer, Stokes, Willis (Hyam 18), Doyle, McNulty, Davies, Beavon (Nazon 46 (Brown 56)), Kelly-Evans, Shipley, Bayliss. Subs - O'Brien, Haynes, Stevenson, Ponticelli.

A. Jacob Sweeny holds a degree in History with an emphasis on Ancient Near East. Her immersion in world myths and her archaeological fieldwork provided the initial spark that led to the development of Pulse Of Heroes. Besides writing, A. Jacob Sweeny is a strong advocate for the protection of women and children worldwide. She enjoys cooking spicy food and regularly suffers from bouts of creative insomnia.
Pulse of Heroes weaves together elements from several different genres: romance, suspense, myth/fantasy, paranormal, history and at its core, a heroine's journey and transformation. A. Jacob Sweeny has crafted a true and sensitive coming-of-age narrative of a quirky teenage girl protagonist becoming a confident young woman with her own voice. At the same time, she draws the reader into a gripping adventure filled with fantastic historical elements and the crushing intensity of first love. Pulse of Heroes is a YA/crossover novel with memorable characters and several story arcs. It has a multi-cultural perspective with characters from around the globe, and a prominent female point-of-view. "A very dark fairy tale…"
Michelle used to feel like she was behind in everything, especially relationships. Her great aunt says she is like a bland meal, "no salt or pepper". But in junior year, everything changes. Her father takes a position on the Town Council, a popular boy in school is interested in her, and most importantly, the Hekademos Learning Center, a private school for 'troubled' students, moves into her quiet neighborhood amidst the protests of the entire town.
Upon seeing the School Regent out with a group of young guys just before Christmas, Michelle is convinced that there is something odd about them. Her curiosity gets the better of her and she embarks upon a mission to figure out what is really going on. After an embarrassing fall over the school wall, Michelle meets Elliot and her ordinary 'bland' life changes its course forever.
Elliot is no ordinary human. No one at the Hekademos Learning Center is. Beautiful and fierce, they have survived throughout the millennia by weaving in and out of human events. Although Elliot carries numerous painful memories from his many pasts, he disregards his own better judgment and the advice of his friends, and finds himself falling for Michelle's offbeat personality.
At Elliot's side, Michelle must learn to deal with the bundle of contradictory emotions called love, But when History catches up with them, the difference between their life paths threatens to destroy any future that they might have had together. Ultimately, Michelle will have to trust her intuition in order to face the danger and uncertainty of being drawn into Elliot's wondrous world.
