How to Be Fully Alert and Present, Without Being Anxious and Jittery?
Let's say that you have a cup of coffee, and a cup of tea – one cup each – and each cup contains exactly the same level of caffeine: 70mg; not a huge amount. That's about one-third the amount of caffeine that you might find in one of those "energy" drinks. And is a pretty typical amount of caffeine for your average home-brewed coffee or strong cup of tea.
It's not too far-fetched: Perhaps you started with a very dark roast (contains less caffeine than lighter roasts); you used a fairly coarse grind (transfers less caffeine load); and relatively cool water (the cooler the brew, the lower the caffeine transfer); perhaps you even brewed some (wonderful) cool-brew coffee. So now you have a cup of coffee with the same medium level of caffeine as a strong cup of black tea.
Which one will leave you feeling chill, mellow, yet alert?
Which one will leave you feeling alert, but maybe a bit anxious? Maybe jittery? Jumpy?
And, for bonus points, why? That is, what's the difference?
The answer is that the TEA will elevate your level of consciousness – your "alertness" – yet not make you jittery or anxious.
On the other hand, the coffee, containing nothing to counteract or balance the caffeine, may cause you to be a bit anxious.
The WHY is that the tea contains theanine; the coffee does not.
Theanine is an amino acid, present in tea (but not in coffee), that actually reduces psychological and physiological stress! Theanine has been shown to boost cognition and memory (similar to caffeine).
But unlike caffeine alone – which increases "subjective alertness" (that feeling of being a bit hyper or anxious) – the combination of caffeine and theanine gives you a boost in alertness and faster response times, a boost in cognition and memory, without increasing subjective anxiety.
Theanine-caffeine synergy: alert, mellow, not jittery.
In other words, alert, yet … chill.
How do we know that theanine makes you chill?
One thing we know is that theanine elevates alpha waves in your EEG. Alpha waves indicate wakeful relaxation. In other words, theanine helps place your brain in a state of awake, alert, restfulness. Alpha waves are what your brain does during meditation.
Master Po: What do you hear?
Caine: I hear the grasshopper.
So when I say "chill," think of the Shaolin monk, Kwai Chang Caine, played by David Carradine in the series, Kung Fu.
Alert. Present. Focused. Yet chill.
The theanine-caffeine synergy is responsible for that rare state of alertness combined with chillness. Theanine occurs naturally, along with a moderate amount of caffeine, in tea. Especially Green Tea. Just one more reason to add green tea to your life. Those Shaolin monks and many other Asian cultures have known this for centuries.
Also consider adding theanine to your daily regimen as a nutritional supplement.
As a supplement, theanine has been shown to help reduce anxiety, reduce stress and depression. And, for those of us (including me) who are always concerned about what we consume (including supplements): the "therapeutic index" of theanine is HUGE. That means the difference between the dose that achieves a beneficial effect and the toxic dose is very wide. In fact, the "toxic dose" has never been reached in humans; and the toxic dose in rats is ridiculously huge. Take a look at the very first link under Resources, below, for structure and dosing information.
In short: theanine helps mellow us without dulling our senses. Perfect!
So add some theanine to your life.
Who knows? You may hear the grasshopper.

Баварський ландтаг () — парламент федеральної землі Вільна держава Баварія.

Ландтаг Баварії складається з однієї палати з 1999 року, в 1946-1999 роках в парламенті була і верхня палата, Сенат.

Парламент обирається раз на п'ять років, вибори проходять в неділю або в свято. Чергові вибори не можуть проводитися раніше, ніж через 59 місяців і пізніше 62 місяців роботи парламенту.

Ландтаг обирає прем'єр-міністра Баварії. Засідання парламенту проводяться в Максиміліаніумі, будівлі в Мюнхені, побудованій у 1857-1874 роках на березі Ізару.

З 1970 року Християнсько-соціальний союз традиційно набирав більше 50% голосів, друге місце посідала Соціал-демократична партія Німеччини.

На виборах 2008 року ХСС набрав лише 43,4%, отримавши 92 місця зі 187. СДПН набрала 18,6% і отримала 39 місць. Також новий парламент вперше в історії Баварії обрав головою жінку — Барбару Штамм.

На виборах 2013 року ХСС набрав 47,7%, отримавши 101 місце зі 180. СДПН набрала 20,6% і отримала 42 місця.

Істотно інакше склалося розподіл місць в ландтазі після парламентських виборів 2018 року:

 ХСС: 85 місць, 37,2% голосів виборців
 «Союз 90/Зелені»: 38 місць, 17,5% голосів виборців
 «Вільні виборці Баварії»: 27 місць, 11,6% голосів виборців
 «Альтернатива для Німеччини»: 22 місця, 10,2% голосів виборців
 СДПН: 22 місця, 9,7% голосів виборців
 Вільна демократична партія: 11 місць, 5,1% голосів виборців.

Helen and Blythe (mom and daughter) do an excellent job in Mended sharing life-lessons throughout the book by alternating throughout the book. It has a beautiful, authentic element as it is co-written and add depth to the mother/daughter conversation that other books cannot even explore. I love hearing the conversations between the two of them about how they've each had to trust God in similar parenting situations, motherhood and being daughters of the King. I love their conversations with one another and the reader.
Both Helen and Blythe offer encouragement to the reader, but also freedom to those who have experienced hurt and pain in relationship.

"Am I making a difference?" "Can I accomplish meaningful things despite the mistakes I've made?" "How can I know God's purpose for me?"
As the true stories in Exceedingly demonstrate, whether famous or entirely unknown, we all struggle to find significance in our lives. But the truth is that each one of us has a special reason for being right here, right now--and we can discover exactly what that is.

Uncovering our purpose doesn't require big personalities, perfect lives, or an issue-free past. We only have to make the effort to learn to see ourselves as God does and fulfill the personal purpose we were made for.
Seekers who engage with Anita will find their quest leads to one amazing conclusion: if they unearth what they've been given and dare to believe, their Maker will do exceedingly, abundantly more with their lives than they've ever imagined.
Ephesians 3:20 is the verse that the Lord gave my husband this year, so Exceedingly has been the perfect book to read. This book is packed with spiritual truths that help all believers firm their purpose in faith and in life. I enjoyed the chapter on it is important to play. In a life that is busy, stressed out and full, we so often don't take the time to relax and play, but we need to. We need to take the time to spend time giggling, dreaming and enjoying the simple things in life. While this book appears small, it is packed full of good wisdom and truth. I found this book to be incredibly helpful and one that I will read in different seasons. I love that it hits Ephesians 3:20 and it has spoken so much truth to me. I cannot wait for my husband to read it! I highly recommend it!

Jacques Paquin (1791 - 1847) was a Roman Catholic priest and author. During the 1837 rebellion in Lower Canada, he remained hostile to the rebellion, threats of death and imprisonment notwithstanding. On the eve of the battle, he fled with the assistant priest François-Xavier Desève to his farm near by. In 1838, after the pillage and destruction of Saint-Eustache, he published a journal of events, in which, according to the Dictionary of Canadian Biography, he pointed out that few of his parishioners had taken part in the rebellion and that most of its leaders lived outside the parish. He hoped in this way to obtain compensation from the government in order to rebuild his church, which had been destroyed in the battle. After the failure of the uprisings of 1837 and 1838, Paquin divided his time between study and administration.
This collection consists of two manuscripts by Father Jacques Paquin entitled: "Memoirs of the Church of Canada, 1415-1837," dealing with the 1837 rebellion in Lower Canada and the uprising of the parishioners of Saint-Eustache against the English; and "Memoirs of the Church in Canada and the country in general since the discovery in 1523 until 1843 ...".

Q: crossing out whole slide with LaTeX beamer Is there a way to draw a huge red cross (x) on top of a slide in LaTeX beamer? I want to discuss a position and then say that it is definitely wrong and mark this by crossing out the whole page. It would be great if this cross looked like drawn by hand.

A: Initially I misread the question and thought that the cross should be below the text; now I see that it has to go on top of the text; in this case, there's no need to use the background canvas template:
\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{calc,decorations.pathmorphing,patterns}

\makeatletter

\pgfdeclaredecoration{penciline}{initial}{
    \state{initial}[width=+\pgfdecoratedinputsegmentremainingdistance,auto corner on length=1mm,]{
        \pgfpathcurveto%
        {% From
            \pgfqpoint{\pgfdecoratedinputsegmentremainingdistance}
                            {\pgfdecorationsegmentamplitude}
        }
        {%  Control 1
        \pgfmathrand
        \pgfpointadd{\pgfqpoint{\pgfdecoratedinputsegmentremainingdistance}{10pt}}
                        {\pgfqpoint{-\pgfdecorationsegmentaspect\pgfdecoratedinputsegmentremainingdistance}%
                                        {\pgfmathresult\pgfdecorationsegmentamplitude}
                        }
        }
        {%TO
        \pgfpointadd{\pgfpointdecoratedinputsegmentlast}{\pgfpoint{8pt}{5pt}}
        }
    }
    \state{final}{}
}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}

{\Huge\centering This is wrong.\par}
\onslide<2->{\begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture,overlay,decoration=penciline]
\draw[decorate,line width=30pt,red!60!black]
  (current page.north west) -- (current page.south east);
\draw[decorate,line width=30pt,red!60!black]
  (current page.north east) -- (current page.center) -- (current page.south west);
\end{tikzpicture}}
\end{frame}

\end{document}

You can use TikZ to draw the cross in the background canvas template:
\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{tikz}

\begin{document}

\begingroup
\setbeamertemplate{background canvas}{%
\begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture,overlay]
\draw[line width=20pt,red!60!black]
  (current page.north west) -- (current page.south east);
\draw[line width=20pt,red!60!black]
  (current page.south west) -- (current page.north east);
\end{tikzpicture}}

\begin{frame}
This is wrong.
\end{frame}
\endgroup

\end{document}

Using percusses's answer to Simulating hand-drawn lines you can get the handwritten effect:
\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{calc,decorations.pathmorphing,patterns}

\makeatletter

\pgfdeclaredecoration{penciline}{initial}{
    \state{initial}[width=+\pgfdecoratedinputsegmentremainingdistance,auto corner on length=1mm,]{
        \pgfpathcurveto%
        {% From
            \pgfqpoint{\pgfdecoratedinputsegmentremainingdistance}
                            {\pgfdecorationsegmentamplitude}
        }
        {%  Control 1
        \pgfmathrand
        \pgfpointadd{\pgfqpoint{\pgfdecoratedinputsegmentremainingdistance}{10pt}}
                        {\pgfqpoint{-\pgfdecorationsegmentaspect\pgfdecoratedinputsegmentremainingdistance}%
                                        {\pgfmathresult\pgfdecorationsegmentamplitude}

        }
        {%TO

Former voice of Elmo hit with 5th sex abuse suit
California, Los Angeles
Another man has sued Kevin Clash over allegations of child sexual abuse, making it the fifth allegation and fourth lawsuit against the disgraced Elmo voice actor. The case is being handled by lawyer Jeff Herman, who represents the other cases against Clash, and says the details of the accusation "follow the same pattern" as the others.
"In papers filed in Manhattan federal court, Kevin Kiadii said he met Clash, who's 27 years Kiadii's senior, in 2004. Kiadii, who was just 16 at the time, says he 'went on a gay telephone chat line to meet friends who were also gay,' and wound up meeting Clash, his suit says.
'Clash invited Kiadii to come to his apartment in Manhattan,' and sent a luxury car service to pick the teen up in Brooklyn, the filing says.
When he got to Clash's pad, the puppeteer plied him with 'alcohol and groomed him with attention and affection,' the suit says. They then 'engaged in sexual contact,' the suit says.
Clash's lawyer responded in a statement, calling the lawsuit "meritless" and "barred by the statute of limitations."

AG is investigating former Auditor employee
John Stang
/ June 9, 2015
Bob Ferguson (2015)
The Washington Attorney General's Office has begun investigating whether anything illegal happened in the relationship between indicted State Auditor Troy Kelley and long-time crony Jason JeRue, who used to work for the auditor's office.
Attorney General Bob Ferguson announced the investigation Tuesday, but declined to say what crimes might be suspected. Ferguson said the probe has just begun.
The Attorney General's Office began the investigation at the request of Gov. Jay Inslee.
In a letter to Ferguson, Inslee wrote: "I remain concerned about the potential of misconduct relating to [Kelley's] operation of the Auditor's Office. … I believe that the public and affected government agencies deserve greater assurances that the work of the office during Mr. Kelley's tenure was handled properly particularly as it relates to the employment of Mr. JeRue."
In April, a federal grand jury indicted Kelley on 10 counts of tax fraud, lying under oath and lying to the federal Internal Revenue Service. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges. Kelley's trial is set for January.
Inslee, legislative leaders from both parties and other statewide elected officials have called on Kelley, a Democrat elected in 2012, to resign. He has refused to do so, instead going on an unpaid leave on May 1. The leave is supposed to last until his trial is over.
JeRue, who lives in a so-far unidentified city in California, has been a mystery man in the Kelley affair.
Nine of the charges against Kelley pertain to the time when he was president of Post Closing Department, a title documents firm owned by Kelley. The company is now closed. The 10th charge — lying to the IRS — allegedly occurred after Kelley, a former state legislator, became auditor. Kelley allegedly stole about $1.4 million in fees that he was not entitled to keep.
JeRue was vice president of Post Closing Department, and constantly dodged depositions in a civil lawsuit brought against Post Closing. Hired by the Auditor's Office at Kelley's request in 2013, JeRue was a part-time technical writer telecommuting from California. He was rarely seen in the agency's Olympia office. His writing involved behind-the-scenes administrative work. JeRue's wage was $22.68 an hour. He earned $15,286 in 2013 and $22,884 in 2014.
JeRue was not named in the federal indictment against Kelley. When interim state Auditor Jan Jutte took over on May 1, one of her first acts was to terminate JeRue's employment.
In a written statement, Jutte said "We welcome the Attorney General's investigation into the hiring of former State Auditor's Office employee Jason JeRue. … I believe the cloud over Troy Kelley is a personal cloud; it is not a cloud that belongs over this office. I am confident that this investigation will bear that out."

Sorry, Retraction on Tribulation 1.
September 17, 2018 Posted in TRIBULATION!
On "GOD'S WORD ON HOW IT ENDS" at not found as yet. He follows this SunGrist website and hopefully will let us know.
Footnotes Love all men with the passion of Christ, yet scourge error with the Father's wrath. This exhortation is not to exalt your tithe purchased, push button story of the days of vengeance. It is rather to tear down incorrect teachings and minimize casualties of those that will lose faith and be lead into the 'falling away'; of which is prophesied to send Christians into the lake of fire. This responsibility and rebuke starts with those in leadership first. For the Holy Spirit expressly speaks; for the end of all flesh is come before me, write these things for the time is at hand.
Unto all the angels of the churches in Babylon write; Woe unto you pastors and teachers, that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness. You weave calmingwords to pacify fleshly fears of tribulation, only to augment the necessity offering. You seek the doctrine of devils to justify your bottomless selfishness for preservation sake. You secretly look at the judgments with fear and trembling. Beyond reproach, brutish and sleepless you lye; praying the popular 'hypotheses' are true, so the flock is not lead astray and that many stripes are not laid upon you. Fear neither wormwood nor the locust, but fear Him that can kill both body and soul. Stand strong, be ready, turn from your purchased sermons, denominational fears and expect to defend the hope of His coming with your very life. Fear not the creation, but the Creator.
Howl, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves in the ashes, ye principal of the flock. You have suckled from the tree of perversion, you have lied a great lie and profaned the holy words of Messiah. The Lord your God proclaims 'After', yet you scream with the spirit of antichrist from your pulpit, which whispers to the Church the lustful word 'Before'. Thus the fold will prophetically, yet horrifically lose their precious faith in this visible world and the blessed hope of His coming, when the waters and moon turn red. You prey on the minds that are not renewed to trust in the invisible more than the former. These wolves howl vague verses to establish concrete dogma, silencing direct quotes of the Lamb. Therefore we have given ourselves over to the gluttony of the slaughter to be hand fed by liars.
Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and scourge. There are not handfuls of prophets, teachers or those that scribe the unsearchable riches, but millions. If only they would stop listening to those who alter Christ's prophetic teachings and seek God with their body, soul, spirit and time. Then the clear understanding of prophecy would be ubiquitous. We are far too selfish with the cares of our lives, to hunt, prepare and ingest what God would to show us. O 'man of God', for the little meat you did find, you hid for both fear and silver. Instead you have chosen to serve milk mingled with vinegar upon a sponge to her wanton lips. You have caused her to walk the broad streets, seeking He who is altogether lovely; only to be beaten by other watchmen. For this I am against you, says He who has the eyes of the sun. Thus she runs to men for her daily bread, yet runs from the sacrifice of her daily time and the inventor of time itself. Nevertheless, you tempt her to seek those 'men of God' who promise the stability of the tangible, with escape from the inevitable. Therefore she chose to titillate her ears at the table of the popular; which prepare milk laden doctrine seasoned with blasphemy. Lie upon lie, decept upon decept; hear a little, and care a little; the fable thickens, as the falling away oblation is prepared.
Confusion of prophecy is due to the hero worship of some man of God's doctrine and the inversion of priorities, fueled by our own greed and selfishness. This results in a reversal of our time and trust in our Heavenly Father and ultimately time and trust in the creation. We greedily cling to time and trust in the tangible, which pacifies reality for our carnal minds. Eventually time stops and everything will implode to a singularity. A thousand at thy side and ten thousand on your right. The man of God's escapism theology will crumble when the flock scatters and he beholds the reward of the wicked with his own eyes.
O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Humble yourselves and forget all that men have taught you about prophecy, including that which is on this site. Put not your trust in princes nor in the sons of men. Ask the Holy Spirit to show you all things to come. He is more than faithful to amaze and nurture you into all truth, if you seek Father more than once a week in a public country club.

Couples find their long-lost wedding video footage online
Mandy Simpson was shocked to see her wedding video reappear on Facebook 43 years after the big day
Rachael Dodd
The identity of two mystery couples whose weddings were found on a long-lost reel of film have been revealed.
Robert Jude recently discovered reels of his father George's footage, following his death in 2013 aged 102.
He's found six weddings captured on 8mm film so far - three of which were identified as close family.
But the last three were a mystery, until a story in The Herald prompted them to come forward.
Mandy Simpson was just 18 years old when she married 20-year-old Robert (Bob) Simpson at St Pancras Church.

Now, 43 years later she was shocked to see her wedding film reappear on Facebook.
"I did see the film the same year I got married, but I haven't seen it since," Mandy said.
"It was on a cine-roll and we converted it to cassette."
Plympton 'to become upmarket neighbourhood for executives'
Mandy and Bob had been dating for three years before tying the knot.
Mandy said: "He was from Swilly and my mum said you're not dating a Swilly boy!"
But a little Plymouth geography couldn't get in the way and they married on a cold and rainy day in March 1975.
"My auntie made all the dresses so my gown cost £7!" Mandy laughed.
"I'm one of five children and my little brother was the page boy. We had a reception at Pennycross Church Hall and then we went back to my mother-in-law's house. We stayed with a friend in London for our honeymoon."

Mandy's sister Jenny was a dance pupil at Jurek Sroka where George's wife Kathleen played piano which is how the Simpson wedding came to be filmed.
Robert Jude said: "My mother was a pianist for several dancing schools in Plymouth – starting with her sister's school in the 1930s and after World War Two, and later for the Jurek Sroka school until just before her death in 2003," Robert said.

George and Kathleen followed Jenny's career keenly and Mandy feels they would be proud to know that she is now a choreographer on the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing.
Mandy and Bob had two children, born in 1976 and 1979, and are now proud grandparents of seven at 61 and 63 years old.
Michael and Carolyn Gee
Also revealed were Carolyn Irving and Michael Gee. Their son Nick said it "made his year" to see the footage which has provided him with a precious glimpse of his family as he had never seen them before.
Carolyn and Michael were married in 1966 in St Judes Church and George Jude filmed the happy day after connecting with Michael through business.
"My dad used to work the doors at the Victoria Club - Plymouth's first proper nightclub." Nick said.
Man attacked and robbed near subway - do you know this man?
"If there were ever photos needed my dad would put a lot of business through to George. George then offered to do his wedding photos and film."
George was a successful chef throughout his life and became chief executive chef to the Lord Mayor of Plymouth, opened Rascals on Mayflower Street and cooked for the likes of the Queen and Charles de Gaulle in his time.

The family lived in Kuwait for two years, but the Iran/Iraq war in 1983 and Michael suffering a heart attack prompted them to come back home.
George didn't stop there though - by the late eighties he owned 14 cafes with his business partner including Goodbody's on Mutley Plain.
HMS Albion leaves Plymouth to lead NATO task group
Sadly Michael and Carolyn's marriage lasted 22 years before they separated when Nick was 12.
"Dad said it was a beautiful day and a happy, joyous occasion.
"He had forgotten it was ever filmed," Nick said.
One couple on the newly-rediscovered wedding footage are yet to be identified - an older couple marrying at St Judes Church in the sixties.
If you recognise any of the wedding party in this film please contact reporter Rachael Dodd on 01752 293059, or email rachael.dodd@plymouthherald.co.uk


This pesto, much like the classic basil pesto is not just limited to pasta. Try this topping on salmon, tossed with shrimp or tofu or even thinned out as a dressing for salads. Whatever you put it on, the fresh flavors will have you coming back for more.
This is a Japanese favorite red bean pancake!
I served our Edamame Dip with crackers, tortilla chips, and sliced cucumbers. Pita chips would be a excellent with it, as would other vegetables such as carrots and celery.
Asian-inspired vegan burger that is crispy and crunchy on the outside, yet smooth and buttery on the inside! Serve it alongside a vegetarian stir fry or atop a big green salad...just don't forget the sriracha!
I absolutely LOVE the Fire Cracker Chicken at Panda Express and get it every year when it comes around for Chinese New Year. This recipe is my take on re-creating this dish. It's sweet, spicy, crunchy and delicious when served over brown rice.
Homemade Baked Tofu similar to Trader Joe's Baked Tofu.

China's UCCA Center for Contemporary Art Postpones Three Exhibitions as Coronavirus Spreads

As the coronavirus death count in China surges past 500 people, yet another major museum has been forced to delay planned programming for the coming couple months. The UCCA Center for Contemporary Art, which has multiple locations in China, said on Thursday, February 6, that it would postpone three shows planned for two of its locations—two exhibitions at its main space in Beijing, and one at its UCCA Dune museum in Qinhuangdao, a coastal city about 185 miles from the capital—amid safety concerns.
"We are following guidance from national and local government authorities, and closely following further developments," the museum said in a statement. "The safety of our visitors, staff, collaborating artists, and other members of our community is of the utmost importance to us."
The biggest of these postponed shows, a landmark survey of computing art called "Immaterial/Re-material," was expected to open on February 22 in Beijing. The other two exhibitions were both slated to open March 8: a Yan Xing solo outing in Beijing and "Resistance of the Sleepers" in Qinhuangdao. New dates for the shows were not immediately made available.
In its statement, the UCCA said it would sterilize the museum once every 24 hours, and that, in compliance with recommendations from officials, the museum would stay closed through February. (It had previously been on an extended break for the Lunar New Year celebrations.) The museum said it would await word from local authorities on when it could reopen to the public.
The UCCA joins several museums and art events that have postponed programming in an attempt to help curb the spread of the coronavirus. Two new private museums—the He Art Museum in Foshan and the X Museum in Beijing—delayed their openings, and on Wednesday, Beijing Art Weekend, which had been slated for early March, postponed this year's edition until mid-April, leaving open the possibility that it might be canceled altogether if the situation did not improve by then. Meanwhile, many are still anticipating word about this year's Art Basel Hong Kong fair, which some dealers have said should be called off amid the coronavirus outbreak and ongoing protests.
"UCCA would like to thank all the artists, journalists, friends of the institution, and other stakeholders who have had to reschedule travel plans and visits to our museums due to this unexpected situation," the museum's statement read. "We hope to see you soon, and thank you for your understanding and additional support during this trying time. UCCA sends its care and concern to those affected by the virus, and expresses our sincere gratitude to the medical staff and emergency response teams selflessly working to ensure public health."
