Which Bible to use is a matter of considerable difference of opinion among Christians. Each translation has its strong points and its weak points. The important thing is that you read the Bible, understand it, and apply it.
If at all possible, you should have several Bibles, and read them all!
Contemporary English Version as an easy-to-understand English translation and the New King James for more detailed study. Both can be ordered inexpensively from the American Bible Society.
The American Bible Society and the International Bible Society are the best places to purchase inexpensive Bibles. The American Bible Society also offers Bible translations in many different languages. You may also find it beneficial to compare prices at Bibles At Cost.
Many of you will appreciate having a parallel version, with several translations of the New Testament in one volume. The Contemporary Parallel New Testament includes: KJV, NASB, New Century, CEV, NIV, New Living, NKJ, and The Message.
The Eight Translation New Testament includes: KJV, TEV, Phillips, RSV, NIV, Living, Jerusalem, and NEB!
The New Living Translation is one of the most recent major translations. It is a revision of the Living Bible — and is much improved.
Very helpful for study. Attempts to be consistent in translation to enable the English reader to grasp the original Greek words. Very literal, and thus not as easy to read.
The New International Version is today's best-selling translation. This edition also has helps for individual and small group study.
I love Bibles and buy all the different translations I can. The following are enjoyable to read and help you get a fresh perspective because they endeavor to translate the thoughts — not just the literal words. Therefore, these are not the best for study, but are excellent for devotional reading.
Not like any other Bible you have ever read! Contemporary, yet done by a scholar attempting to impact us like the original hearers of the New Testament were impacted.

By Staff Writer | Updated on October 16, 2006
Paris-based insurer AXA said it has entered into an agreement with Athens, Greece-based Alpha Bank to acquire its insurance subsidiary Alpha Insurance for Euro 255 million (U.S. $319 million.)
AXA and Alpha Bank, Greece's second largest bank, said they have signed a long-term exclusive agreement to pursue and strengthen the existing relationship that would allow AXA to continue selling insurance through Alpha bank offices.


Matt Linklater (check over here) Flipping via the native paper, I noticed a typical commercial from a "financial planning" agency. It's true - inventory is reasonable now, and many individuals will in all probability experience huge returns on equity purchased on this period. That is particularly vital when an advisor supplies an investor with guidance on prudent investment options in shares, bonds, different securities, insurance and banking products, or is managing the account or IRA on behalf of its owner.
Contemplating no one has a crystal ball and thus only a few can consistently "time" the market efficiently, the business of technical buying and selling sneaks its way into the investing world. Regardless of what many pundits declare, nobody can predict future value actions of any commodity or inventory, so in this article I wish to lay out some guidelines that will improve your probabilities of your gold funding being profitable.
Not unless you wish to." Continue to simplify the request, and assure them that, at this stage, you merely have decided that it's foolish, and wastes beneficial time you may be devoting to serving purchasers, to have a enterprise without having a listing of Potential Excellent Clients.

The government missed a LOT of red flags.
Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder (R) has been blamed for Flint's water crisis, but it took a lot of people working together to create this mess.
The Obama administration has declared a state of emergency in Flint, Michigan, a city of nearly 100,000 people who can't drink their tap water because it's poisonous.
Officials denied the water's danger right up until a local pediatrician documented high lead levels in Flint kids' blood last fall. Lead is a deadly neurotoxin that can cause stunted growth and brain damage in young children.
Here is a list of some of the mistakes that local, state and national officials made.
It all started with a decision to change Flint's water source.
For decades, Flint bought its water from the Detroit Water And Sewerage Department. In 2013, the Flint city council voted to join the Karegnondi Water Authority, a new system that would pump water from Lake Huron. But Flint couldn't connect until 2016, so the city, operating under the control of emergency managers appointed by Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder (R), opted to save money by using the Flint River in the meantime.
Local leaders in Flint, including then-mayor Dayne Walling (D), literally toasted the decision by drinking glasses of the new water at a ceremony in April 2014. "It's a historic moment for the city of Flint to return to its roots and use our own river as our drinking water supply," Walling said at the time.
Pretty much immediately, Flint residents complained that their water looked and tasted funny. In January 2015, the city warned residents that the water had high levels of disinfection byproducts.
The city wasn't vigilant about its water.
Employees of public water systems are supposed to monitor water lead levels by testing the water in homes that are connected to water mains via lead service lines, but Flint failed to do so, according to an investigation by The Flint Journal. Avoiding high-risk testing sites can mask the extent of a lead problem and delay measures to fix it.
The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality failed to ensure the water was treated for its corrosiveness.
The Flint River water turned out to be more corrosive than the water Flint received from Detroit -- so corrosive, in fact, that in October 2014, General Motors opted to quit using it to avoid corroding parts in its engine plant. Corrosiveness is a problem because Flint, like many American cities, has water pipes that are made from lead, which can leach into the water and poison people who drink it.
Back in 2011, Flint had commissioned an evaluation of Flint River water, the results of which indicated it would need to be treated with phosphates to reduce its corrosiveness. Two years later, according to the Detroit Free Press, a Flint official forwarded that information to the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, which is responsible for ensuring that Flint follows the federal Safe Drinking Water Act. But the MDEQ didn't do its job.
As Miguel Del Toral, an expert with the Environmental Protection Agency who was investigating local complaints about the water, explained in a June 2015 memo: "Recent drinking water sample results indicate the presence of high lead results in the drinking water, which is to be expected in a public water system that is not providing corrosion control treatment. The lack of any mitigating treatment for lead is of serious concern for residents that live in homes with lead service lines or partial lead service lines, which are common throughout the City of Flint."
In October, the MDEQ admitted it failed to follow the correct protocol for corrosion. In December, the agency's director and spokesman both resigned after a task force appointed by Snyder blamed the MDEQ above all other agencies for failing to ensure the safety of Flint's water.
The EPA stood by as state officials dismissed its investigation.
Facing questions about Del Toral's alarming memo, the EPA's regional administrator, Susan Hedman, told city and state officials that it was a draft report that should not have been released. City and state officials took that assurance and ran with it, telling residents and reporters not to worry, and went as far to say that Del Toral was a "rogue employee."
In a recent interview, Hedman told The Huffington Post that the agency couldn't talk publicly about the memo because it contained identifying information about a private citizen, Lee Ann Walters, whose children were exposed to high lead levels. For much of last year, Walters worked to publicize the problem and even petitioned the EPA to take emergency measures.
The corrosion never got controlled.
Hedman told HuffPost that while the EPA didn't publicize its corrosion concerns, the agency was busy behind the scenes pressuring the MDEQ to get its act together. But even though MDEQ agreed to implement corrosion control in July, an MDEQ spokeswoman told HuffPost that no corrosion control occurred before Flint switched back to Detroit's water system in October.
EPA spokeswoman Monica Lee said that under the Safe Drinking Water Act, it was up to the state of Michigan to make sure its water was safe.
"While EPA worked within the framework of the law to repeatedly and urgently communicate the steps the state needed to take to properly treat its water, those necessary actions were not taken as quickly as they should have been," Lee said in an email, adding that the EPA will consider what it could have done differently.
"The situation in Flint -- of a large system switching from purchasing treated water to untreated water -- is highly unusual," Lee said. "EPA's ability to oversee MDEQ's management of that situation was impacted by failures and resistance at the state and local levels to work with us in a forthright, transparent and proactive manner consistent with the seriousness of the risks to public health. We must ensure this situation never happens again."
State agencies ignored red flags.
In July, an internal report from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services warned that blood lead levels "were higher than usual for children under age 16 living in the City of Flint during the months of July, August and September, 2014." But the department convinced itself that the numbers were the result of normal seasonal variation in blood lead levels, a message it also relayed to a top Snyder aide who expressed concern about the water situation in a July email.
Officials also dismissed reports last September that the city's water contained high levels of lead after Virginia Tech civil engineering professor Marc Edwards and his research team sampled water in Flint. Edwards wound up filing Freedom of Information Act requests that exposed the state's knowledge of high lead levels in locals' blood, among other things.
Officials stopped denying the problem at the beginning of October, shortly after Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha, director of the pediatric residency program at the Hurley Medical Center in Flint, reported that the number of local children with high amounts of lead in their blood had doubled.
"This poisoning of an entire population was entirely preventable," Hanna-Attisha told HuffPost.
Though the city has switched back to Detroit's water system, it's not clear when Flint's water will be safe to drink again. Michigan state police and the members of the National Guard are assisting with door-to-door delivery of bottled water and filters.
This story has been updated to include comment from the Environmental Protection Agency.

Heat Trade Target Generating Significant Concern Ahead of Deadline
A lot of things had to come together for the Miami Heat to make their run to the NBA Finals back in 2020. The league stoppage that occurred amid the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic giving Erik Spoelstra time to tinker and plot the team's course certainly played a role.
Before that, the mega-trade bringing Jimmy Butler to South Beach, Bam Adebayo's emergence as an All-Star and Tyler Herro's show-out rookie effort had laid the groundwork for the surprise success.
However, Jae Crowder's contributions as a trade-deadline addition cannot be overlooked in the equation. And the Heat are apparently keen on recapturing some of that magic, as they have been linked to Crowder time and time again since the baller and the Phoenix Suns agreed to an eventual parting of ways during training camp.
That said, there may be some things working against the 32-year-old's viability as a trade target. At the least, there appears to be one big concern among some of the teams that have been pursuing him.
Insider: Teams Weighing Jae Crowder Trade Starting to Worry About His Inactivity
While the Suns kinda, sorta acquiesced to Crowder's desire to play elsewhere in the fall, they were under no obligation to deal him in a timely fashion or to a team of his choice. And in an effort to secure the best outcome possible for themselves, they have continued to hang onto Crowder, despite the trade interest around the league.
That plan of attack may end up costing them — and Crowder — in the end, though.
According to longtime league insider Marc Stein, teams are starting to wonder whether Crowder will even be able to contribute after being sidelined for so long.
Specifically, GMs are questioning the "state of his conditioning" and the amount of time it could take for him "acclimatize to a team," Stein says. And considering Crowder never reported to Suns camp, and his last game for the club was in May of last year, those concerns are from unfounded.
If he can come back at a level close to the one he left with, though, he'll be a useful hand for a contending squad. Over 67 appearances for the Suns last season, Crowder averaged 9.4 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game. Meanwhile, he's a career 35% shooter from deep.
Earlier this month, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported that both the Heat and the Milwaukee Bucks were monitoring the Crowder situation.
B/R Picks Jimmy Butler for All-Star Game
Due to the Heat's ho-hum record and the fact that he's missed 14 games this season, one could make the argument that Jimmy Butler shouldn't be making an appearance in this year's NBA All-Star Game in Salt Lake City. For his part, though, Bleacher Report's Grant Hughes has made the case that he should still be voted in by East coaches.
Wrote Hughes:
Although he isn't a three-point threat until it's do-or-die time in the playoffs, Butler is on pace to shoot over 50 percent from the field for the first time in his career. At 33, Butler has mastered the art of playing the game on his terms. Defenses can't ignore him on the perimeter since he'll use that space to cut, duck into the post or dribble into a range where he's more dangerous. An ace foul-drawer who has literally won games with his pump-fake acumen, Butler also remains one of the most complete defensive wings around.
Butler's per-game averages of 22.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 2.0 steals are unmatched this season.

Processed foods' claim to fame mostly comes from their ease of preparation and affordability (and, perhaps, their engineered, bordering-on-addictive taste). But according to the research in recent years, they've become a major health hazard. And those known as "ultraprocessed" foods, which have even less in common with actual food, may be the worst yet for our health and longevity. A new study in JAMA Internal Medicine finds that people who eat more of these highly processed foods have a significantly greater risk of death from multiple causes over the years.
The team looked at data from almost 45,000 French participants, who were about 57 at the start of the study and tracked for over 7 years on average. They filled out questionnaires about their typical food and drink intakes, along with other information, including physical activity, sociodemographic, lifestyle, weight/height, and other body measurements.
The team correlated a person's consumption of these ultraprocessed foods with their risk of dying from all causes. Overall, for each 10% increase in the intake of ultraprocessed foods, there was a 14% greater risk of all-cause mortality.
"To our knowledge, this prospective study was the first to investigate the association between ultraprocessed foods consumption and mortality risk in a large population-based French cohort," the team writes in their paper.
This isn't a total shock. Last year, the same team reported that ultraprocessed foods were linked to greater risk of both breast cancer and overall cancer. And other research has certainly shown what a "Western" diet can do to health—high-sugar, highly processed diets appear to be some of worst available, for metabolic health, brain health, overall health, and mortality.
Additionally, additives like titanium dioxide, which "may be associated with an increased risk of chronic intestinal inflammation and carcinogenesis," may partially explain the connection. And emulsifiers and artificial sweeteners might each work to disrupt the bacterial balance in the gut, potentially leading to inflammation, metabolic syndrome, and, ultimately, type 2 diabetes and cancer. Finally, the authors suggest that food packaging—particularly cans and plastics with BPA and the like—may play a role.
They do caution that reverse causation may be at play, where people with existing health problems gravitate toward less healthy foods. But they largely dismiss this possibility, since logic would suggest that people with heath issues would more likely make healthier, not poorer, food choices.
And they of course point out the trend in recent years, all over the globe, away from whole foods and toward the quick and dirty processed ones. "Ultraprocessed foods consumption has largely increased during the past several decades and may drive a growing burden of noncommunicable disease deaths," the authors write. Even in France, known for its healthy, whole foods (and the fatty, decadent ones eaten in moderation), apparently people are eating processed stuff.
Since cost is often a factor, this growing body of research suggests that more need be done to make healthier foods available to a greater number of people. And as always, the message is to eat real foods, as much as is feasible and affordable. And if you fall off the wagon, don't beat yourself up—just try to resist the second donut and get back on.

› Introduction
Malta: Travel Information
Malta is made up of an archipelago of seven islands in the Mediterranean Sea and is located 80 kilometres/50 miles south of Sicily. Although it is an archipelago, only the three largest islands of Malta, Gozo and Comino are inhabited. Its strategic location meant that it was occupied by many civilizations which included the Romans and the British over time. Malta gained its independence in 1964. Valletta is a harbour city which has preserved much of its original 16th century architectural heritage.
Because of its warm climate, it is a popular tourist destination. It does have other attractions which include its history and architectural and historical monuments including nine UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The official languages are Maltese and English and Italian is also widely understood and spoken. Virtually all Maltese citizens speak English fluently.
Valletta, the capital has a rich history. It is modern, with good shopping and also offers many museums and cultural sites. Of particular note is St John's Co Cathedral, built by one of the earlier Grandmasters of the Knights Hospitaller. It contains Caravaggio paintings, tapestries and various relics of immense value. The floors of the Cathedral are the tombs of the most famous knights of the Order of St John. The Hypogeum of Ħal-Saflien, a subterranean structure dates back to 3300-3000 BC in Maltese prehistory and is located in Paola, Malta. The Hypogeum is thought to have been originally a sanctuary, but it became a necropolis in prehistoric times, and in fact, the remains of more than 7,000 individuals have been found here. It is the only known prehistoric underground temple in the world.
Sliema is Malta's most modern and most built up area and where most tourists stay. It is a vibrant town and all amenities are within walking distance. Sliema and nearby St Julian's form a near continuous town spread over two adjacent peninsulas. The sea front is well developed and offers an array of cafes, bars and restaurants and some stone beaches with safe and clean swimming areas.
Elsewhere on the main island is the ancient capital of Mdina, also known as the Silent City. The history of Mdina traces back more than 4000 years. It was here that in 60 A.D. that the Apostle St. Paul is said to have lived after being shipwrecked on the Islands. Mdina is fascinating to visit for its timeless atmosphere as well as its cultural and religious treasures. It is one of Europe's finest examples of an ancient walled city and extraordinary in its mix of medieval and baroque architecture.
Nearby is the scenic town of Rabat with its fortress and offers attractions such as its architecture, history and an amazing view from the fort. Rabat is home to the famous Catacombs of St. Paul which were used in Roman times to bury the dead. In the Catacombs of St Agatha's, there are over 500 graves of several types.

The original game of the distinguished Rainbow Six series!
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six gives you complete command over a squad of expertly trained special military operatives from all over the world and all of their world-class equipment. As the best of the best, you and your team are called upon in only the most hazardous terrorist situations. It'll take sharp wits, quick reflexes, and careful planning if you want to save the world from a diabolical plot!
Tactical planning combined with realistic, squad-based combat
Critics have called Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six "revolutionary" for its perfect mix of strategy and first-person shooter action.
Before each mission, you're given a detailed briefing. Plan the routes of your teams on a complete map of the area which includes known and suspected locations of terrorists, bombs, hostages, and any other points of interest. Spend as much or as little time planning and outfitting the mission as you want, then jump right into the intense, pulse-pounding action!
A variety of modes brings great replay value
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six comes with three built-in difficulty levels, from recruit to veteran to elite. Once you complete it on one, move up a level and you'll need to design new plans to face new threats and meet new objectives. It becomes a whole new game!
You can also play with your friends in cooperative campaign mode, or against them in multiplayer matches. Take your skills to the Internet, against other online players, for an even more varied Rainbow Six gaming experience.
Interesting, detailed storyline leads to an explosive climax!
Will you go in with M-16s blazing, or take a stealthy approach with silenced MP-5 submachine guns? There's no "right" way to accomplish the objectives. Each one of the seventeen unique missions in the campaign allows you the freedom to decide! You choose what weapons, outfit, and equipment to take. Go it alone, lead seven other operatives, or anything in between!
With Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six, everything, including the very fate of the world, is up to you. Download Rainbow Six and experience the game that produced a ton of world class sequels and copycats.
- Review by Dylan
Revolutionary In Its Day
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six is a First Person Shooter (FPS) that was revolutionary when it came out in 1998. The times have changed, and though it was good when it was developed 13 years ago, this FPS game is lagging behind the times and has not survived the times.
Setting this game apart from others in the genre is your ability to plan and map out your attacks. If planning out your attacks and controlling your forces intrigues you, this might be the perfect game.
More Strategy Than Shooter
Rainbow Six is a great blend of a real-time strategy game and a FPS. In this game which has three modes (Campaign, Training, Multiplayer) you lead an expert anti-terrorist squad from around the world and plan a strategy to take down your marks and rid the world of terror action.
The game revolves a lot around your ability to plan your attack and think ahead. If you successfully map out your invasions you will be rewarded with a lot of success, however, if you are nonchalant about your positioning, the game will prove to be too much and you will have troubles completing the objectives.
Training Mode Helps With The Learning Curve
Of the three modes of play the Training mode proves to be the most important at getting started and adjusting to the game. In this mode which has around 20 different tutorials you learn the basics of the game and get oriented with things like firing your weapon at the shooting range to hostage rescue and obstacle courses. This is especially useful for figuring out the buttons and adjusting to the sensitivity of the mouse, which is really really sensitive.
May Not Be Able to Use Multiplayer Due to Age
The Multiplayer mode is another facet of the game that is interesting, however, it was probably much better in '98 when the game came out. Since the game is so old the online population is dwindling at best and it's unlikely that you will be able to find a game.
If you are so lucky however, there are three modes of play including a free-for-all deathmatch game and a team deathmatch game that pits your team against another. These modes are similar to most FPS multiplayer games, and like most of those other games are a lot of fun.
Campaign Mode Gives You Ultimate Control (For Better or Worse)
The Campaign is the facet of this game that is most developed and interesting for game lovers. This campaign gives you control over most every feature, including who is on your team, where they will be positioned, and what weapons they will use to fire.
As the leader it is your job to get your squad you control both the positioning and commands of your fighters. Through commands on the keyboard you can control the attacking of your different troops. For example, the UP arrow key has "bravo" move in, while other commands (which are adjustable) control other troops. These tactics and this control makes executing attacks easier, only if you know exactly what you are doing. Jumping into the campaign before playing through the training sessions might be overwhelming and tough to do.
Much Better Newer Games
Though this game is great for 1998, the times have changed and things in this game have fallen behind. The first and most noticeable of these errors is the difficult "pre-mission" menu. Navigating through the menu is quite a challenge, and the large amount of text makes the prep for a mission sometimes take longer than the actual mission (slight exaggeration, maybe).
Another flaw in the game that initially seems minor, but then becomes much more significant is not being able to access the controls during a mission. Not having access to the button layout during a mission is a serious flaw. The ability to control so many aspects of the game is great, but because of this the buttons are easy to forget and looking them up is not possible, except from the main menu. This is a simple design flaw that proves to be a huge problem because there are times when you might be absolutely stuck, looking for the correct button.
Conclusion - Good In Its Day But Hasn't Aged Well, Get It For Nostalgia Purposes Only
Overall, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six is an alright game that is out of its prime. At the time of its creation it was cutting edge and the gameplay was as smooth as it could get. However, now in 2010 with games like Call Of Duty 2 or Halo 3, this game falls behind drastically. The strategy/FPS style of the game is great and still remains fun, however not having a thriving online community or well designed menus make this game just average.
If you are a fan of the Rainbow Six series, or want a greater strategic element in your FPS game than this might be for you. However, if a well designed and easily executed game is more for your liking, you should keep looking.

Critique 240: Are there health risks from amounts of alcohol referred to as being within "low-risk drinking" guidelines? — 8 July 2020
Sherk A, Thomas G, Churchill S, Stockwell T. Does Drinking Within Low-Risk Guidelines Prevent Harm? Implications for High-Income Countries Using the International Model of Alcohol Harms and Policies. J Stud Alcohol Drugs 2020;81:352–361.
Objective: Many countries propose low-risk drinking guidelines (LRDGs) to mitigate alcohol-related harms. North American LRDGs are high by international standards. We applied the International Model of Alcohol Harms and Policies (InterMAHP) to quantify the alcohol-caused harms experienced by those drinking within and above these guidelines. We customized a recent Global Burden of Disease (GBD) analysis to inform guidelines in high-income countries.
Method: Record-level death and hospital stay data for Canada were accessed. Alcohol exposure data were from the Canadian Substance Use Exposure Database. InterMAHP was used to estimate alcohol-attributable deaths and hospital stays experienced by people drinking within LRDGs, people drinking above LRDGs, and former drinkers. GBD relative risk functions were acquired and weighted by the distribution of Canadian mortality.
Results: More men (18%) than women (7%) drank above weekly guidelines. Adherence to guidelines did not eliminate alcohol-caused harm: those drinking within guidelines nonetheless experienced 140 more deaths and 3,663 more hospital stays than if they had chosen to abstain from alcohol. A weighted relative risk analysis found that, for both women and men, the risk was lowest at a consumption level of 10 g per day. For all levels of consumption, men were found to experience a higher weighted relative risk than women.
Conclusions: Drinkers following weekly LRDGs are not insulated from harm. Greater than 50% of alcohol-caused cancer deaths are experienced by those drinking within weekly limits. Findings suggest that guidelines of around one drink per day may be appropriate for high-income countries.
This study uses global data from different cultures in an attempt to judge whether there are health risks for subjects who are consuming alcohol considered to be within "low-risk drinking guidelines". Unfortunately, their arguments and conclusions are weakened from their using an unusual method for estimating alcohol intake and very little information on the pattern of drinking (regular and moderate versus only on one or two days/week, with or without food, type of beverage, etc.). Further, these analyses utilize a combination of data from a variety of high-income countries, many of which have very different drinking cultures; this gives values of risk of certain health outcomes that actually apply to no single culture (as described in previous Forum critiques 199, 206, and 219).
Approach for estimating "under-reporting" of alcohol intake: The authors make a lot of assumptions in their analyses, including a questionable way of adjusting for under-reporting of alcohol. To "adjust" for differences between sales figures for alcohol and the reported amounts consumed by subjects in epidemiologic studies, they increase the reported amounts of alcohol consumed for all individuals in a country (by 80% in the present analyses). Reviewer Ellison noted: "It has been shown that when such adjustments are based on individual characteristics, subjects who may be classified as 'likely under-reporters' and those classified as 'likely not under-reporters' have many differences in health characteristics and health outcomes (Klatsky et al, 2006; Klatsky et al, 2014). The method of the authors of the present paper, increasing the reported intake of alcohol by 80% for all subjects to adjust for under-reporting, yields data that cannot be interpreted in terms of judging the health effects of a given amount of alcohol for evaluating 'low-risk drinking'."
Reviewer Skovenborg agreed: "The questionable theoretical rationale for adjustment by 80% of local recorded plus unrecorded per capita alcohol consumption is inadequate. As stated, mixing data from likely and unlikely under-reporters, using a blanket adjustment of alcohol intake for all participants, would be expected to give flawed results."
Combining former heavy drinkers with current moderate drinkers: In almost all previous studies of western countries, former drinkers tend to be mainly former heavy drinkers, and are at higher risk for most conditions. For many analyses, the authors combined their data from former drinkers (who were apparently former heavy drinkers) with data from drinkers consuming "within guidelines". The focus of their arguments tends to be based on combining these two groups when stating that "More than 50% of alcohol-attributable cancer deaths were experienced by the population that is currently drinking within weekly guidelines, when including former drinkers".
According to the data presented in the paper, the former drinkers in this analysis had the highest risks of the typically "alcohol-related" cancers, higher than even the group classified as current "above-guidelines" group. For an outcome that is usually considered to be fully attributable to alcohol, liver cancer, their data show among women that 29 of the instances were in the "former drinker" category, and only 3 in the within guidelines and 3 in the above guidelines current drinker groups. For men, of 64 deaths from liver cancer, 23 were former drinkers, 11 were drinkers in the within guidelines group, and 30 in the above guidelines group. Hence, the within guidelines drinkers made up only a small percentage (14/99) of the liver cancer subjects. It thus suggests that results in former drinkers should have been combined with those of the above-guidelines drinkers; in doing so, the conclusions of the authors suggesting increases in risk among the lighter drinkers would have been quite different . . . much, much lower.
Reviewer Ellison commented on this problem. "Overall, the authors had data from 3,942,691 subjects, 2,556,729 of whom were listed as drinking within-guidelines; among these, there were a total of 140 alcohol-attributable deaths (0.005%). There were 488,438 subjects who consumed above the weekly guidelines, associated with 1,283 alcohol-attributable deaths (0.263%). There were 351,091 reportedly lifetime abstainers and 546,433 former drinkers; among the latter there were 630 alcohol-attributable deaths (0.115%). Hence, the death rate for the within-guidelines subjects was many times lower (about 50-fold lower!) than for those consuming above-guidelines, and even in comparison with former drinkers it was more than 20 times lower. Yet, throughout the text, the authors tend to combine data from former drinkers and within-guidelines drinkers and state that for hospitalizations and deaths, events were greater than those in the above-guidelines group.
"The authors also focus on cancer deaths, where they state specifically: 'More than 50% of alcohol-attributable cancer deaths were experienced by the population that is currently drinking within weekly guidelines, when including former drinkers.' The actual numbers of alcohol-attributable cancer deaths among the within-guidelines group is 123 of 2,556,729 (0.005%), while it is 206 of 546,443 former drinkers (0.038%) and 312 of 488,438 above-guidelines subjects (0.064%). (The authors tend to report numbers of attributable cases but not occurrence rates, even though the denominators for these groups are vastly different.) Further, combining data from former drinkers and current moderate drinkers is absurd, yet is used as the most-touted result of this study."
Forum member Stockley agreed with other reviewers, adding that "Our Forum has previously reviewed the GBD paper from 2018 pointing out that combining data from a large number of diverse cultures to determine a single association between alcohol consumption and health creates real problems. Many lifestyle and cultural factors strongly modify the relation of a given amount of alcohol to health and disease. When such modifying factors are not taken into consideration, the estimated intake of a given amount of alcohol (even if accurate), provides an incomplete assessment of the effects of alcohol on health, even among high-income countries."
Alcohol effects relate to more than just estimated number of drinks per week: Reviewer de Gaetano was concerned that these authors considered alcohol as a drug, a separate entity, and did not evaluate drinking in the context of life habits, including smoking on one side and nutrition on the other. And, even more importantly, they do not include details on the pattern of drinking (e.g., with or without food, type of beverage), or socio-economic factors (which markedly modify the risk of adverse effects of a given amount of alcohol). Further, using high-income country mortality weights instead of global weights, the three RR functions were shown to present a J-shaped curve at low daily levels of consumption (they state for less than 12 g/day for men and less than 17 g/day for women). We note again, however, that these estimates were based on the majority of meta-analyses that indicate a degree of cardioprotection associated with low-level alcohol use, an observation that continues to be contested by some, such as Chikritzhs et al; Ortolá et al; Zhao et al (the highly selected references included in this paper)."
Forum member de Gaetano added: "After presenting their results based on global data, showing only adverse health effects of alcohol, the authors then show results based on high-income countries, more appropriate for Canada. The results are quite different, and show, at least for the distribution of the burden of disease in Canada — which may be broadly representative of other high-income countries — that there may exist a safe, and even slightly (statistically significant, anyway) health-protective level of alcohol intake, corresponding with low levels of daily consumption."
Unusual differences between men and women: Extensive studies have demonstrated that, for a given amount of alcohol, women tend to exhibit more adverse effects than men. However, this study finds, for example, much larger protective effects against ischemic heart disease and ischemic stroke among women than among men. They conclude that "If national drinking guidelines are based on aligning risks between drinkers and abstainers, our study suggests limits of approximately 12 g/day for men and 17 g/day for women." Such results are confusing and inconsistent with most previous research, and may relate to the many assumptions made by the authors in the present analyses.
Presentation of results: The figure in the paper showing the relative risk of all "alcohol-attributable causes" for alcohol intake (in grams of ethanol/day) shows result from 0 to about 150 g/day of intake. The curve extends well beyond usual intakes in the population (the actual reported consumption as well as the "adjusted" levels of intake are not stated in this paper); presumably, much of this curve is based on extrapolation rather than actual data. The authors do include an expanded version of the curve extending only up to 30 grams/day (an upper level that includes the vast majority of values of intake in most studies). In the expanded version, there is a strong suggestion of a "J-shaped curve" (similar to what is almost always seen in epidemiologic studies). Because of the many assumptions made by the authors (regarding adjustments to reported intake, combination of data from many cultures, etc.), the data do not permit a valid estimation of the level of alcohol intake that exceeds the calculated risk of never drinkers and that would be of value when setting limits for "low-risk" drinking.
Other studies estimating attributable deaths due to alcohol: The authors cite a small number of studies to support their thesis and criticize most previous research. Reviewer Skovenborg wrote: "The authors brought up the tired old horse of abstainer misclassification and residual confounding used in the meta-analysis of Zhao et al to discredit the reduction of coronary heart disease associated with light to moderate alcohol consumption in men. However, as shown many decades ago by Boffetto et al and in almost all prospective studies since, when adjusting for former drinking and all potential confounders, the vast majority of studies show a significant reduction in the risk of cardiovascular disease, especially ischemic heart disease, to be associated with light-to-moderate drinking. Among such studies is one from Denmark (Eliasen et al) of alcohol-attributable deaths; those authors found that 73 and 81% of deaths for women and men, respectively, occurred within the high alcohol consumption group (defined as > 14 drinks/week for women or > 21 drinks/week for men). Furthermore, they reported that for heavy drinkers, total compliance with sensible drinking guidelines with a low risk limit of <7 drinks/week for women and 14 drinks/week for men would dramatically lower alcohol-attributable deaths."
Deaths from cancer attributed to alcohol consumption: The authors calculated that 32% of cancer deaths in women and 15% of cancer deaths in men were attributable to subjects stating that they consumed alcohol within the drinking guidelines. However, these percentages are not based on the risk of disease within each group as the numbers of subjects in each group (the denominators) differed markedly. For example, of the 53 cases of pancreatic cancer reported in this paper, 35 were in former drinkers, 12 in above-guideline drinkers, and 6 in within-guidelines drinkers. However, the risk ratios for the subjects in these groups were not given: there were a total of 546,443 former drinkers and 488,438 subjects above-guideline drinkers, compared with 2,556,729 within-guidelines drinkers. So, unlike what the authors insinuate, the rates of such cancers is extremely low in the true within-guidelines drinkers.
Skovenborg reports on a key paper by Tramacere et al on pancreatic cancer: "The results of a meta-analysis of the dose-risk relation of alcohol drinking and pancreatic cancer risk provides 'strong evidence for the absence of a role of moderate drinking in pancreatic carcinogenesis, coupled to an increased risk for heavy alcohol drinking. Given the moderate increase in risk and the low prevalence of heavy drinkers in most populations, alcohol appears to be responsible for only a small fraction of all pancreatic cancers' (Tramacere et al). In a recent Lancet review by Mizrahi et al, risk factors for developing pancreatic cancer included 'family history, obesity, type 2 diabetes and tobacco use'."
Potential use of the present study for setting drinking guidelines: Forum members considered that the potential application of the results of this study for setting guidelines is quite limited, and do not agree with the authors that these data could support a lowering of alcohol guidelines. Stated Forum member Finkel: "We have here a meta-study interpreted by possibly prejudiced authors with a very limited selection of references, based on very indirect data (both the quantitative drinking prevalence and the attributions of death and disease to alcohol), and inferences just as weakly based. One could argue endlessly over the accuracy of 'attributable' in many cases. And without detailed data on such vital matters as type of beverage and drinking pattern, I can't begin to make sense, much less draw conclusions about and execute plans based upon this paper."
Reviewer Van Velden noted: "This is a very emotive article that singles alcohol out as a risk factor without taking into consideration socio-economic-, cultural-, political-, and educational-factors. Alcohol consumption should not be seen in isolation from other health-affecting factors such as smoking, exercise, socioeconomic status, balanced nutrition, and effective stress management techniques. We do not talk here about a health elixir, but about a responsible and balanced lifestyle where alcohol consumption with meals is the norm. Refined carbohydrates (sugar) consumption contribute much more than alcohol consumption to the epidemic of the chronic and degenerative lifestyle-related diseases of the 20th century. At least the sugar in grape juice is fermented to alcohol in wine . . . and wine does not cause insulin resistance."

The authors of this paper use very questionable data to suggest that drinking guidelines for all countries should be lowered to no more than 1 drink/day. In their analyses, they make a very large number of assumptions, including adding 80% to reported amounts of alcohol for all subjects to make up for alcohol disappearance data, and do not modify this according to their individual likelihood of being an under-reporter of intake. Further, they are not able to adjust for the pattern of drinking or type of beverage consumed, and it is considered bizarre that they grouped ex-drinkers (many of whom were apparently heavy drinkers) with current drinkers who report consuming within the guidelines to state that such subjects have a high risk of adverse effects. From the numbers presented in the tables in this paper, the risk of alcohol-attributable death for consumers of alcohol within-guidelines was fifty times lower than for those consuming above the guidelines. Such deficiencies in methodology, and especially possibly deliberate combinations of groups to support their premise, make it impossible to utilize their conclusions for setting guidelines for "low-risk" drinking.
Further, their conclusions do not reflect what the vast majority of well-done epidemiologic studies have shown for decades that light-to-moderate alcohol consumption (when defined as up to 1 drink/day for women and up to 2 drinks/day for men and not consumed in binges) is associated with a significant decrease in the risk of cardiovascular mortality as well as total mortality. The results of the current paper are not sufficient to warrant changing drinking guidelines.

Editor's note: reprinted with permission. I found this article fascinating .I was blissfully gardening last weekend until I found myself covered in a rash and itching like crazy. It reminded me of some of Tom's wise words of wisdom.
An American researcher is examining the allergenic effect of trees and shrubs.His finding: with very little expenditure, city gardeners can alleviate the misery of people who suffer from allergies.
Grey is the city which hay fever sufferers dream about. All grassy places have been cemented over; far and wide no tree, no bush to give off itchy pollen dust. There is a more elegant solution, says American allergy researcher Thomas Ogren. City gardeners must only know what they ought to plant or not plant. Many trees, like chestnuts or lime- trees (linden), only very seldom trigger allergies. But even such notorious pollen-factories as the ash, the poplar, the maple, and the willow are not altogether evil. Some of them will not give off a single grain of pollen in their entire lifetime. Because these types are, as the botanists say, dioecious (zweihausig). Every tree has either male or female blossoms, and only the males produce pollen. So you simply choose the female trees, says Ogren, and people with allergies will be at peace.
Evidently, almost nobody bothers about all this. That astonished the learned agronomist Ogren many years ago--all the more since his wife and his sisters suffered with terrible hay fever. So the researcher took it on himself to begin the work all alone. He resolved to check out the allergenic effect of as many plants as possible. Allergists had for a long time limited themselves to about a dozen plants which cause grief to most of their patients. Among these are alder-trees, grasses and rye. Ogren, on the other hand, studied hundreds of ordinary shrubs, trees and garden flowers. He scratched the skin of all the acquaintenances he could get a hold of, and rubbed them with pollen specimens.
Ogren observed not only how strongly his research subjects reacted to the pollen. He also considered how long the tested plants bloom, and how widely their pollen disperse--how powerfully, therefore, they will affect whole neighborhoods. Each plant finally received a number between 1 and 10:number 1 for "harmless;" number 5 for "of limited duration or only bothersome in the immediate area;" and number 10 for aggressive pollen that torments hay fever sufferers for months at a time.
In a handbook which has just appeared, Ogren presents his value scale. Municipal and private landscape gardeners, Ogren would wish, can henceforth choose their plants from those in the lower register. Here and there a specimen with an index of 5 or 6 might be bearable, but higher than that noone should ever reach.
Luckily, the most compatible plants are usually the most beautiful to behold. Gorgeous flowers entice insects who purposefully carry the pollen further. In contrast, the wind-pollinaters, with their usually tiny, almost invisible, rather greenish blossoms, belong to the arch- enemies of people who suffer from allergies: they scatter their pollen randomly and massively into the winds.The U.S. Department of Agriculture has for many years been using a computer model to explore how vegetation affects the quality of life of inhabitants in cities. The next step ought to be to experimentally build Ogren's Index into that model. In Germany, hardly anyone has cared until now about the allergenic Effect of plants in residential areas. Landscape officials in the cities conform to a generally accepted list of useful street trees, on which one will find a whole multitude of sinners: oaks (8-9 on the Ogren Index), hazel trees (8),alders (9), ash (up to 9, depending on the kind), maples (7-8), and the plane-tree (9), which is always beloved because it makes so little dirt. Chestnuts, on the other hand, which cause allergy sufferers few problems, would not be so ideal, says Hartmut Tauchnitz, spokesman for regional organizations of city landscape gardeners. Chestnut trees let their fruit fall on parked cars. Beech trees, on the other hand, the arch-enemy of runny noses, "now as always belong to the race of beloved street trees," says Tauchnitz. The sand birch has in fact been chosen "Tree of the Year 2000."
Far and wide throughout Germany, birch groves and birch alleys will now be solemnly planted. Only in Freiburg, in the neighborhoods of Rieselfeld and Vauban, is the City Landscape Department willing to forgo, as much as possible, planting trees that can be difficult for the inhabitants. City Gardener Tauchnitz finds this excessive. "I can't be concerned one very street with the three persons with allergies who perhaps live there, "he says. "They're going to suffer in any case." Measurements actutally show that birch pollen often drifts for kilometers in the air. But that doesn't prevent the largest portion of the pollen from falling right around the tree. Researcher Ogren has established that, under birches that stand alone on asphalt surfaces, the ground was golden with pollen at blooming time. A few meters away from the tree, there was hardly a trace of pollen to be found.
The scientific value of this observation may be disputable, but there are hardly any better investigations available. Most of the pollen traps with which the concentration of pollen in the air is measured are usually placed about 15 meters above hospitals and other buildings. They give us very little information about what is happening at the level where breathing is taking place.
Although about 12 million Germans have allergic head colds, it is astonishing how little is known about the circumstances under which this suffering breaks out. What pollen dose triggers it? Is it the sudden gustof wind when a susceptible person passes close to a pollen- bearing birch tree? Or is it rather just the continual haziness which comes from who knows where? The most recent "Special Environmental and Health Assessment" issued by a group of experts appointed by Environmental Minister Trittin laments that there are "considerable gaps in our knowledge."
Only this is clear: the more the pollen which is circulating, the more powerful will be the reactions. When birches blossomed especially luxuriantly this Spring, there appeared "a whole wave of new patients who previously had had no problems," reported the Bochum allergist GerhardSchultze-Werninghaus. However, as long as certain threshold pollen values have not been exceeded, even notorious allergy sufferers have no complaint.
Many professionals are therefore pleading for caution in new plantings. According to the Viennes eallergist Friederich Horak, it would be "absolute imbecillity" to wantonly plant new birch trees. Horak directs the Vienna Allergy Center, where all the measurement data are gathered from the European pollen information agencies. "The principal trigger of allergies in our latitudes is now the birch tree, and nothing else comes even close."
In North America, on the other hand, people with allergies suffer before anything else from a weed called Ragweed. This plant, in German "Traubenkraut," in August and September poisons the air of the whole continent with aggressive pollen--except for a stretch of land in Canada.
The Gaspe Peninsula in the Province of Quebec is free from the burden some growth of the species Ambrosia. In the 1930s, the environmental biologist Elzear Campagna led a successful campaign against the weed there. Hordes of helpers, sometimes armed with flame-throwers, spread out over the narrow tongue of land. Thousands of school children ripped up the ragweed. Today the peninsula is famous as a vacation paradise for tourists with hay-fever.
Germany will soon stand before similar challenges. Allergenic ragweed is spreading throughout Europe. It has already taken root around Lyon, in France. "It is only a question of time until the first plants push over the Danube into Bavaria," says botanist Siegfried Jager, a colleague of Horak in Vienna. Eastern Europe is already as good as conquered. And in Hungary, where more than 20% of the population suffers from hay fever, the dread of a pollen invasion has enkindled a national campaign. The mayor of Budapest lets herds of sheep graze on public lands surrounding the city, so that the animals can chew up the ragweed. And in the whole country a new kind of popular contest has been established: winner is the first one who comes back with 100 ripped up ragweed shrubs.

Trans Lifeline: a separate Peer-Support and Crisis Hotline for people in the Transgender Community in America
Basri GÜLŞEN Toptan Bijuteri 12 Ağustos 2022
The Scoop: Trans Lifeline is a valuable source for transgender individuals as it connects callers together with other members of the trans society. The hotline has fielded significantly more than 26,000 calls in the past year from people that just need you to definitely listen. That help creates less folks feeling isolated and suffering misunderstanding, hatred, and transphobia. Trans Lifeline focuses on increasing mental health, and many of its associates and ambassadors also operate in advocacy and education. The business has provided significantly more than $500,000 in microgrants to greatly help individuals upgrade their own names and sexes on condition- and government-issued IDs.
Relating to a 2016 learn, around 390 out of each and every 100,000 adults in America tend to be transgender. Which comes over to almost 1 in every 250 grownups — or nearly one million folks in the U.S. the analysis in addition showed that the quantity of people that determine as a gender other than one assigned at birth had improved quickly since surveying began in 2007.
But just because more transgender folks are comfy talking their truths doesn't mean it is a straightforward option. In U.S., like, it's illegal for freely transgender individuals to provide in the US armed forces, and prejudicial perceptions are pervading in a number of parts of the country.
That's why, though a lot of Americans help transgender legal rights, isolation and recognition issues are typical from inside the transgender society.
An astounding 40% of the within the transgender population report a committing suicide attempt at some stage in their unique life, stated Bri Barnett, Trans Lifeline Director of developing and Interim Director of Communications.
Trans Lifeline functions one hotline in America that ensures callers can consult with another member of the transgender neighborhood, and people taught professionals exist to listen in times of crisis or if someone only needs to chat.
Since 2020, the hotline is present to Spanish speakers together with English speakers. It's the first fellow assistance hotline for trans Americans and Canadians which talk Spanish.
The company also works on different academic and advocacy tasks, such as resource microgrants to help people upgrade their IDs with proper labels and men and women.
"we should resolve a crisis of separation that impacts the trans society, which isolation is often due to hatred and transphobia," Bri stated. "It creates a toll on people's psychological state when they don't have a residential area that helps these with the resources they have to survive and flourish."
Trans Individuals get in touch with Understanding Volunteers
In the past year, the hotline has actually fielded above 26,000 calls. And because it started, it offers logged nearly 101,000 telephone calls, according to research by the web site.
"There is our heartbeat about needs with the area because our callers guide all of us. Men and women can contact to share the things affecting their own everyday lives, if they're suicidal, in situation, or something like that is actually leading them to feel separated," Bri mentioned.
Trans Lifeline never requires callers in order to any info that could make them feel uncomfortable. Through discussions, Bri mentioned that the organization has estimated that 53% of callers determine as folks of shade, with over 20% being black colored and between 7% and 10% becoming native.
"When individuals are caught inside intersection of numerous oppression, could create life activities more tough," stated Bri.
Folks from every area, race, and get older name the hotline, in accordance with Bri, and one-third of callers communicate they are under 30.
One of several major explanations that Trans Lifeline is really so winning is mainly because every trained user is a member on the transgender society. Meaning workers can comprehend callers on a deeper, a lot more individual amount. Together with Lifeline is always trying to find more members of the transgender area to operate the phones, at the same time.
For cis individuals who desire to offer the purpose, Trans Lifeline offers a great many other volunteer and ambassador possibilities. It recently established a voluntary call-back program that is additionally needing extra volunteers. And far of behind-the-scenes work is supported by individuals of all sex identifications.
The Hotline Serves more than simply Those in Crisis
A myth concerning the Trans Lifeline is that truly exclusively for folks who have situation, but that is far from the truth.
"Our company is an assistance hotline and a crisis hotline," Bri stated. "folks should touch base if they're questioning on their own or if perhaps they may be feeling by yourself, and prior to, after, or during an emergency."
The main reason the hotline is such a dependable tool for members of the trans area is the fact that the hotline wont call the authorities to perform wellness inspections without the permission of this person. Most hotlines prepare staff to notify the authorities if there's an issue that person will cause problems for by themselves or other people.
"Trans individuals are usually not passive sufferers. There could be many difficulty, but there's in addition lots of joy and strength. And we're developing a resilient community of trans men and women through the services." — Bri Barnett, Trans Lifeline Director of developing and Interim Director of Communications
Trans Lifeline operates alternatively to build up a relationship of count on with callers, so they feel comfortable sufficient to discuss their particular true emotions. In addition, numerous transgender folks have an elaborate background with all the police, and this policy was created to make sure they are feel safe once they name.
Trans Lifeline also has an extensive training and vetting system that every operator experiences, so relationships can be more successful.
"There are plenty of workers just who used to phone, and from now on they respond to phone calls themselves. Trans men and women are frequently maybe not passive subjects," Bri stated. "there might be lots of adversity, but there is additionally some pleasure and energy. And we also're creating a resilient area of trans people through our services."
Widened Micro Grants assist People modify their own ID Cards
Along with functioning the hotline, Trans Lifeline provides other valuable solutions into the transgender neighborhood. Those services feature microgrants that can help individuals upgrade their unique detection files with appropriate brands and genders.
"several things can not be fixed with chatting," Bri said. "That's why we offer cash to legally revise their particular name and gender. That will impact jobs, construction, knowledge, and voting — which an ID is vital for."
Trans Lifeline partnered with MTV and Logo to boost understanding among trans childhood regarding microgrant program, especially when you are considering voting. Trans activist and popstar Kim Petras contributed the stories of three previous microgrant readers and stressed the significance of updating ID cards before maneuvering to the ballot box. Have a look at the movie:
As well as resource, Trans Lifeline offers one-on-one coaching to grant readers assure they see the procedure for upgrading their particular recognition. The aim is to cut-through the red tape improve experience as easy as you can.
a current ID is generally validating for a trans person. It means they are acknowledged and acknowledged for who they really are. Plus it implies they may be able vote without anxiety about disenfranchisement.
Potential individuals can sign up with their particular email to-be notified when Trans Lifeline declares the monthly microgrant programs. Bri informed us Trans Lifeline has recently revised its microrants money plan so as that 75% of microgrants today head to trans those people who are dark, Indigenous, or folks of Color.
Trans Lifeline supplies Valuable sources to the people in Need
Transgender individuals can face some problems within resides, & most of these boil down to fighting for acceptance. They battle getting accepted by their medical doctors and counselors, their unique co-workers and companies, and, above all, people they know and nearest and dearest. A trans person can't constantly use the support of those within life — nonetheless they can always count on Trans Lifeline.
Trans Lifeline has actually combined trans people from all walks of life and supplied a hotline where they are able to provide comfort, show solidarity, and present the acceptance that people require and will not need within day-to-day everyday lives.
"the greatest deciding consider whether some one will be more suicidal than their colleagues is family members service," Bri stated. "interactions arise typically throughout the hotline."
Into the impending decades, Trans Lifeline is actually working to broaden its partnerships and increase contributions so that it can supply a lot more microgrants and hire a lot more Spanish-speaking workers. The company would also desire offer talk and text solutions for people who are uneasy conversing on the phone — or who aren't in a breeding ground where they think comfy producing a call.

We like the crisp crunch of cauliflower. Add celery and peas and ranch dressing, a bit of tangy onion and crispy bacon, a handful of chopped cashews — a quick and easy, delicious and colorful Crunchy Pea Salad.
You can thaw the peas in the fridge ahead of time. Or not. (I usually don't.) Break or cut the cauliflower into bite size pieces. I like the looks of the little florets in the salad, but sometimes a knife is needed to keep the pieces small enough to eat easily. Crisp the bacon yourself and crumble. Or use about 3 tablespoons of genuine crumbled bacon off the shelf to save time. Add cashews, just slightly chopped for a bit of texture and taste to "fancy" it up, if desired. I don't usually keep cashews on hand because they disappear long before they can go into a recipe. (oh, that tiny bit of salt on my hand — yep, it's me!) Mix everything together ahead of time, at least an hour, so the flavors have time to properly meld. (But I have put it on the table shortly after mixing and it disappeared quickly!) Leftovers will keep for a day in the refrigerator. However, the only times we've done that is when I've sneaked out a portion before serving to pack for work lunch. Straightforward and simple to make. Enjoy!!
Crunchy peas,celery and cauliflower with creamy ranch dressing accented with a bit of onion and bacon make a great and healthy vegetable salad!
Brown bacon if using, cool and crumble.
Mix peas, celery, cauliflower and onion in medium bowl.
Stir ranch dressing and sour cream together in small bowl and pour over vegetables.
Add cashews and/or bacon, if using.
Stir everything together. Chill one to two hours before serving.

The current and oft repeated pattern of responses to North Korean nuclear and missile provocations has failed to produce results. With the stakes becoming increasingly high it is time that a new approach is explored. The success to date of the deal to cap Iran's nuclear program offers clues to a different approach with North Korea. North Korea's position now is stronger than ever before it has more bargaining chips. Conversely the threats posed by North Korea have never been greater. A negotiated settlement is the only acceptable outcome. The key will be to have a broad enough agenda for negotiations to ensure all parties see benefit: addressing the nuclear and missile issues, economic issues (removal of sanctions) and security issues (a Korean peace treaty to replace the armistice). The alternatives to negotiations are war or another nuclear weapon state with a de facto nuclear deterrent capability. Neither prospect will make any nation in the region more secure.

Kirimachi Ramen is a pop up ramen shop in North Beach. We had the ScoutMob deal $5 off, what a steal. As advertised, Kirimachi serves one of the Top 7 Bowls of Ramen by 7×7 SF. There is a limited menu, but the soup base is flavorful and warming, really good.
The interior of the restaurant was lacquer red, shiny and there were silver, black seating. Most of the seats in the restaurants were occupied with solo diners and couples. There was only one server and cook. Simple, but effective operation.
The Tonkotsu Ramen comes pork broth and Shoyu soy sauce flavor at $10 each. There was two types of cold ramen and all ramen comes with pork meat, soft boiled egg, kikurage mushroom, bean sprouts, fish cake and green onions.
We ordered the Sapporo-style Miso Ramen in white miso and Marin Sun Farms' chicken broth came with pork shreds, corn, bean srpouts, egg, green onion, at $10 with $5 Scout Mob discount = $5. Such a great deal.

Q: Are there any way to send a request to a website from specific location in Node.js? I am newbie to node.js and web-scraping. I want to pull data from amazon.com. In addition to price and stock informations, I also want to pull cargo price to Canada (By the way my country is Turkey, so when i hit amazon.com automatically shows cargo price to Turkey). Maybe, some of you know that amazon.com prensents a button on the left top side called "Deliver to XXX country" that enables customer to learn cargo price to any country. But there is a problem that when I select (click to button) a country that I want to learn cargo price to there, there is no change in the url that indicates selected country. There is just change in the page html content (Cargo price to that country appears or changed to other price level). So how can i manipulate my request module as if I am entering to website (amazon.com) from Canada (Like using VPN)? Is this possible in node.js 'request-promise' module? Or can I detect it from changed website html content? I hope I could explain what I wanted to do. If you visit this example product link or any other product and after some surfing on the page, this will help you to understand situation more clearly.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072HW9W92

A: What you are seeing is a website using Javascript to update information on the page instead of loading a new url for it.
To get the information you need, normal HTTP requests won't be enough: you will need to use what we call a headless browser. Basically, you will write code that starts a web browser without the interface and does whatever you want in it.
Using this, you will be able to execute this kind of scenario:

*

*Visit https://example.com

*Click on element that has class "class1"

*Wait for new page load

*Grab the content of element that has id "id2"

And effectively get all the data you need. This will be way more CPU/Memory-intensive than HTTP requests, but you can't get around it in the scenario you described.
A favorite of mine lately is puppeteer.
Here is a working snippet using Puppeteer, doing exactly what you were trying to do. I passed the headless: false option for you to see what is happening.
const puppeteer = require("puppeteer");

(async() => {
    const browser = await puppeteer.launch({headless: false, args: ['--no-sandbox']});
    const page = await browser.newPage();
    await page.goto("https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072HW9W92/");

    await page.click(".nav-a.nav-a-2.a-popover-trigger");
    await page.waitFor(500);

    await page.click(".a-button-text.a-declarative[role='radiogroup']");
    await page.waitFor(500);

    await page.click(`[data-value='{"stringVal":"CA"}']`);
    await page.waitFor(500);

    await page.click(`[name='glowDoneButton']`);
})();

And here is a gif of it doing the works:
