It's a fact that I can't change the past. What's done is done. Staying stuck, reliving old and painful situations leaves me bitter and resentful. It keeps me from enjoying the life that is happening in the here and now. It will ruin my chances of having a happy future.
For way too long I have allowed myself to remain frozen in time. A time that was fueled by drugs, anger, resentments, pain, misery and suffering. I wasn't happy and I made everyone around me unhappy too. The bitterness that I displayed was a direct result of my not being able to let go.
I was angry at the world. I was miserable and wanted you to be miserable to. I held everyone around me responsible for my failure. I pointed the finger at anyone that hurt or disappointed me and blamed everyone else for the way my life turned out. I lived in self pity for years and kept reliving my past as if it were happening at that very moment. It played over and over again in my head. A non stop looping video of hurts, failures and disappointments.
Living like that stopped me from enjoying life. I missed out on countless opportunities. Life just passed me by.
Now it's like waking up from a coma only to discover that 40 years has gone by. No one remembers me because I wasn't present in the moment. I was too busy living in the past. I wasn't a active participant in anything that mattered. Time kept moving on and I didn't.
The hardest thing I ever had to do was learning to let it go. Holding on for so long seemed like the right thing to do at the time but I have learned that no one suffers from it but me. I must let go so I can be free from the past. Enjoy the present and look forward to the future.

← WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.. DO NOTHING??
Oh boy can I relate to being stuck in the past and relieving the misery over & over in my head. I had so much anger towards others and anger at myself that led me to live in guilt daily. I've let go of so much. I don't hold resentments towards anyone these days. I had to pray daily to be willing to forgive people and then I prayed to forgive people. I'm still letting go of anger and guilt towards myself. That has been on going process. Today I'm basically a happy person. I live in today for the most part. I'm still a work in progress.
Amen. Thank you for sharing your identification. I am dealing with learning to let go of guilt also. Progress not perfection. Have a great evening Vicky.

Booker prize 2001
For once, a great book might win the Booker
The long list took care of the sentiment, now it's all on merit
Stephanie Merritt
Sat 13 Oct 2001 19.50 EDT First published on Sat 13 Oct 2001 19.50 EDT
This year's Booker short list seems to have generated less indignation and controversy than in previous years. This may be because the early publication of the long list took some of the impact out of the announcement, including as it did most of the titles critics and publishers alike might have expected to find on a possible short list, and because the decision to publish the long list for the first time reduced the need to make the short list itself appear more 'democratic'.
For the past two years, the short lists have included one novel by an author and publisher previously unheard of, as if to refute the charge that the prize only bothers with established writers and instead earning the charge of tokenism. This time round, such pat-on-the-back inclusions could be dealt with in the long list, leaving the judges free to fill the short list with books that have a real chance of winning.
No one, I think, would argue with the presence of McEwan and Carey on the list, but these two previous winners might have had less favourable odds had the judges in 1999 not had the courage to award the prize to J.M. Coetzee, the first time a panel had ignored the unspoken assumption that it was a bit unfair for someone to get it twice. It seems to have liberated this year's panel to shed sentimental concerns and focus on the very best book of the year, rather than viewing the prize as a lifetime achievement award, evident in the absence of eternal bridesmaid Beryl Bainbridge from the short list.
The two other writers notable for their absence were Philip Pullman, whose magnificent The Amber Spyglass may never quite have shaken off the reductive label 'children's novel' but certainly helped to dismantle the perceived barriers between literary forms, and Nick Hornby, only now beginning to be recognised as a serious and intelligent novelist who just happens to have bestseller appeal.
The Booker has often been accused of elitism, but any institution purporting to sift according to quality will always be accused of the same. It should not be ashamed of appointing (for the most part) 'intellectual' judges, nor should it be made to compromise its choices. This year, the panel seem to have avoided any temptation to popularise and, while the short list will bring welcome attention to some younger writers, it seems that the panel face a difficult choice between the two frontrunners.
Jonathan Cape £16.99, pp372
McEwan's ninth novel, his first since last winning the Booker with Amsterdam in 1998, begins in a country house in 1935, and follows its young occupants and their relationships through the years of the war and on into old age at the end of the century. His story is concerned with time and memory and - significantly - how life is represented and altered through the imagination.
Observer verdict: 'Impressive, engrossing, deep and surprising'
· Hermione Lee
Odds: 9/4
Sceptre £14.99, pp323
Miller's third novel is his first to be set in the present, and the title is also the title of a play central to the story. Like the play, the novel's focus is divided between three main characters: Laszlo, the Hungarian playwright; Alec, the translator; and his brother Larry. Each must confront his past as the disparate stories gradually draw together.
Observer verdict: 'You have the suspicion that Andrew Miller's writing might be capable of anything'
· Tim Adams
Rachel Seiffert
Heinemann £12.99, pp391
Seiffert's first novel bravely approaches the well-worn terrain of the Holocaust and its legacy, though this time from a German perspective. Helmut is fervently patriotic, but his disability prevents him joining the army. Lore is 12 when her Nazi parents are arrested. Half a century later, Michael must discover whether his grandfather was responsible for massacres in Belarus.
Observer verdict: 'Simply phrased and understated... shatters prejudices'
· Zoe Green
number9dream
Sceptre £10, pp418
Like his first novel, Ghostwritten, Mitchell's second is a complex interleaving of different narratives set in a Blade Runner-esque Tokyo. Eiji Miyake's quest to find his father takes him on a picaresque journey through the city, with its high-octane blend of sex, capitalism, computerised images and violence.
Observer verdict: 'He is a wonderfully amphibious writer, happy in all manner of elements'
· Robert MacFarlane
True History of the Kelly Gang
Faber £16.99, pp351
Carey is another previous winner (for Oscar and Lucinda in 1988) and this novel also takes up a historical story - the biography of Australian outlaw Ned Kelly, told in his own voice. Carey's conceit is that Kelly has kept an account of his life for his unseen daughter, written in the style and idiom of Kelly's one surviving letter.
Observer verdict: 'Wonderful... utterly convincing and continually surprising, creating new pleasures on every page'
· Jane Rogers
Odds: 15/8 fav
Hotel World
Hamish Hamilton, £10.99, pp236
Smith's second novel, also nominated for the Orange Prize, is a blend of narratives by five different women whose only connection is the Global Hotel in an unnamed town. The first narrator is already dead, struggling to remember the details of life, and the following stories, while less surreal, are no less dark.
Observer verdict: 'Smith's eye for the detail of urban life is cinematic, but her language transforms her stories into parable'

San Francisco's Best Attractions
United States California San Francisco
All San Francisco
A List of Must-See Destinations and Landmarks
Laura Kiniry
Cavan Images/The Image Bank/Getty Images
Many of us who've landed in this enclave known as the Bay Area instantly recognize the good fortune of living on a landscape so diverse and beautiful. Even then, it's possible to get mired in the pragmatic aspects of life -- and forget just how spectacular even the most common, overly-photographed, and touristy destinations appear to those who arrive on our shores for the first time. So, in an effort to recap some of my best "firsts," and the things which continue to awe visitors, here's a bullet list of the "musts" every first-time house guest or repeat visitor should experience in our fair land.
It's a San Francisco no-brainer, but some people don't actually walk the Golden Gate Bridge during their visit. Walk or bike, no matter the weather. Karl the Fog affords its own mystical trip from the Fort Point end, to Fort Baker on the north side of the bridge.
San Francisco Ferry Building
Eat oysters, chowder, chocolate and cheese at the San Francisco Ferry Building. Check out the food wares from local vendors throughout the Marketplace.
Cable Car Museum
Ride one of San Francisco's iconic cable cars (or learn more about them in the city's free Cable Car Museum). Hop off at the Mark Hopkin's Hotel atop Nob Hill and make your way to its rooftop Top of the Mark for a sunset cocktail. Then hop on again to the Buena Vista Cafe for an Irish coffee -- the first Irish coffee ever stirred in the United States.
Take a San Francisco Bay cruise and a trip to Alcatraz. We recommend its night tour for an especially enticing experience. Another great bay excursion? Angel Island, a now-state park that served as the West Coast's "Ellis Island" for one million U.S. immigrants
Hang out in North Beach and appreciate a genuine taste of Italy in San Francisco. If it's June, a visit to the annual North Beach Festival is a must.
Coit Tower
Take an organized walking tour (free or paid) highlighting everything from gourmet eats to architecture, or opt for a self-guided tour of the old Barbary Coast Trail which takes you through many neighborhoods of the city, including up to Coit Tower. The base of the tower has a panorama of WPA murals, while its top of the tower offers an incredible view across San Francisco and the Bay, especially at sunset.
Visit the San Francisco Presidio and see what becomes of a former military base-turned-National Park, combining elements of historic preservation with stunning natural scenery. Also in the Presidio, if you haven't done the bike ride through Crissy Field to the Golden Gate Bridge it's an absolute must, or set out on a walk from Crissy Field to Fort Point while watching for passing container ships.
Visit one of San Francisco's most beloved museums, the Legion of Honor, known for its impressive Rodin collection. Then drop down to the Coastal Trail toward Lands End, planning to arrive near sunset for amazing photo opportunities. At certain times of the year, brown pelicans fly over the Lands End lookout just as the sun goes down. It's an awesome vision—their pterodactyl shadows swooping just overhead. On a calm night, the lights of the Cliff House reflect in the still waters of the Sutro Baths. It's magical.
If you happen to reach the Cliff House earlier in the day, be sure to pay the small fee to see the Camera Obscura. It's one of about 20 such cameras remaining in the world—an example early photographic technology. You'll see a gorgeous, dynamic panorama of neighboring Ocean Beach inside.
Check out Fisherman's Wharf, and say hello to the sea lions at Pier 39. The neighborhood is worth a visit to the Wharf see some of San Francisco's recognizable icons, including the Buena Vista Cafe and Ghirardelli Square. One disclaimer: Anyone who's been land-bound may enjoy the waterfront ambiance of Fisherman's Wharf. Just be aware that it's definitely a tourist destination with a seaside resort atmosphere.
Visit the California Academy of Sciences and the de Young Museum and use them as a launching point for a walk through Golden Gate Park. While at the west end of Golden Gate Park, stop in at the Beach Chalet for a beer. Check out the WPA murals covering the walls of the entryway.
Visit the not-so-secret alleyways in the Mission that house the district's vivid murals. Walk the neighborhood to see a wealth of color on the walls, and enjoy some of the best food in the city at favorite Mission District eateries.
Take the kids to the Exploratorium along San Francisco's buzzing waterfront Embarcadero. It's an amazing, hands-on science experience for kids and adults alike.
SoMa & Yerba Buena Gardens
Take a stroll South of Market (SoMa) and through Yerba Buena Gardens. Stop in at the Contemporary Jewish Museum to see its dramatic Daniel Libeskind-designed exterior and an endless rotating of poignant exhibits. The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art is a hop and a skip from there, as are several smaller museums in the area. While at Yerba Buena Gardens, have afternoon tea at the Samovar Tea Lounge on the terrace, with a view of the gardens. Or sip at another of San Francisco's favorite tea rooms when you're roaming the neighborhoods.
Walk through the Haight Ashbury district and marvel at the stunning Victorian buildings you'll find there. While things have undoubtedly changed since the Summer of Love, you can join in on the Flower Power walking tour for a bit more insight into the neighborhood's counter-culture roots.
Get an incomparable view of the city from Twin Peaks. Or take a self-guided walking tour to another view point—Grand View Park in the Inner Sunset.
Explore San Francisco's Financial District during the height of the business day when it's at its most vibrant—and when all of the dining establishments of the area are open. While in the Financial District, experience quintessential San Francisco by dropping in at the Tadich Grill at 240 California (near Battery). Enjoy a cup of chowder and a drink while savoring the fact that you're in San Francisco's oldest eating establishment.
If you're a baseball fan, Oracle Park (formerly AT&T Park) is one of the great retro ballparks in the U.S.—worth a visit for the ambiance alone. If you're here for an extended time, take advantage of the city's beautiful parks and green spaces (San Francisco's Best Parks). If it's winter and you have access to a car, visit some of the Bay Area's wetlands for unique nature-viewing. We even have a bounty of migrating birds who make San Francisco Bay their winter home.
Marin Headlands
Looking to venture a bit further afield? Don't miss the Marin Headlands and its bounty of hiking and biking trails, as well as the towering redwood trees of nearby Muir Woods. Throughout the Bay Area, you'll find former military installations like Hill 88 and Battery Townsley—both accessible from the Wolf Ridge Trail and Rodeo Beach.

Lord Justice Taylor delivered a damning indictment of the actions of senior officers of the South Yorkshire police when he published his report yesterday into the Hillsborough disaster in which 95 Liverpool football supporters died.
He made 43 separate recommendations to improve safety and prevent a similar tragedy, 28 of which should be carried out before the start of the next football season.
The incident on the Leppings Lane terraces on April 15 as Liverpool met Nottingham Forest in an FA Cup semi-final was Britain's worst sports ground disaster. The 71-page report left few of those involved chiefly in its organization unscathed.

Home Winners Life as a Scholar
Life as a Scholar
The moment the winner's name is announced on stage at our prestigious awards ceremony is the moment a chef's life changes: a world of opportunity comes with being a 'Roux Scholar'. Not only are there dozens of prizes, with trips to take, there is the stage to arrange. But being a winner doesn't just last one year, The Roux Scholarship is a prize that keeps on giving for life. Here's what you can expect:
The first few months after winning the Roux Scholarship are a whirl! There will be interviews with the press and broadcast media, there will be prize trips to far-flung destinations to schedule, and you will receive other prizes delivered to your door. As the newest scholar, you may also be invited to do chef demonstrations at events and have other such opportunities offered to you. In the summer after winning, you will be invited to a celebratory lunch at The Waterside Inn with the Roux Scholarship sponsors and judges. Finally, there is £6,000 prize money (with an additional £6,000 for the mentorship prize, see below) to spend on career development, and so you will choose how to spend it!
The main prize for the Roux Scholarship is a three-month stage at any three-star Michelin restaurant in the world, all expenses paid. Some winners know exactly which restaurant they would like to stage in, while others do a bit of research into which will suit their interests and skills, as well as giving some thought to where in the world they would like to work for three months. You will make your decision with the support and advice from the Roux Family, and then our team gets to work on organising flights, accommodation and a start date in agreement with your employer. To find out more about the scholars' stages and why they chose their particular restaurants, see the winners' pages.
For any establishment, having a Roux Scholarship winner in the brigade is a tremendous boost to the whole team, with everyone sharing the excitement and prestige and benefitting from the publicity. That said, employers may be worried that winners will want to leave for pastures new soon after returning from their stage; with this in mind, the Mentorship Award is designed to support and encourage the scholar in sharing with their brigade the new experiences, ideas and skills learned during their three-month stage. The new Roux Scholar wins £6,000 to help with their career development, but an additional £6,000 will be awarded to the winner on completion of 15 month's service with their employer following their win. Should they wish to leave their job before 15 months, the £6,000 will be awarded to their employer to support the brigade's development in other ways.
The first year after winning The Roux Scholarship is just the start: as a 'scholar' you become part of the Roux Family, which means you benefit from the guidance of the Roux Family whenever you need it. With decades of knowledge and experience between them, not to mention their stellar contacts book, they are keen to support you in your ongoing career.
You also become part of a unique club – the 'Roux Scholars'. The previous winners are a group of honoured chefs who support and help each other throughout their careers. They have each chosen unique paths after winning the Roux Scholarship, and so have a wealth of experience to share with you and each other; so whether you ultimately want to run your own restaurant, or head up a brigade at a prestigious address, or work abroad, there is a scholar who can advise.
As if all this wasn't enough, approximately every two years, the Roux Family arrange a culinary educational tour taking a group of scholars on what can only be described as a gastronomic trip of a lifetime. In the past, scholars have visited Gleneagles in Scotland, Dubai, Italy Germany, Japan, New York and California. A well as visiting some of the best restaurants in the destination, scholars get 'access all areas' to vineyards, workshops, farms and food producers, many of which are closed to the public. They are also a chance to spend time with other scholars, swapping advice, stories and experiences with one another. To find out more, see the trips page.

How would you like to live an easier life? Many times we are the same people that sabotage our efforts by doing things that make life tough and unbearable.
Today we explore some tips to help you make life easier on yourself without the need to see a counsellor.
Your life cannot be any easier if you see negativity in all that you do. If you have a negative outlook towards life, any simple thing can take you back into the realm of negativity, and make you sink further down the abyss of self-loath.
Instead, try to be positive in anything that you do. Instead of trying to worry about what will happen when you attempt something, you should instead do it and let it fail along the way. Remember it is usually good to try and fail than not to try at all.
The situations that happen are nature's way of telling you that you need to be prepared more than ever before. It doesn't take much, as you discover here.
Even if you go to a counsellor for years and you don't say all that you need to say, and then you won't come out better than you started. There are things that you won't open up to a counsellor however dire the situation is. This calls for self-talk.
Self-talk involves taking time to identify the issues that haunt you and trying to find ways out of it on your own. You need to go easy on yourself and try to improve your efforts. The way you talk to yourself influences how you see yourself. If you think you are a failure, then you will set up yourself to be one.
So, take it upon yourself to pick up the pieces, dust off yourself and start all over again.
It all starts with appreciating what you have. Take time to list the things that you think are positive in your life. Then go ahead and be grateful that you have them. Good health, your family, and shelter can be some of the things that you have, and others like a change of attitude is all you need to make life easier and more fruitful.
Perfection is not what you need to make it in life. All you need to do is to be yourself and make sure you do not repeat the mistakes that put you in problems again.

Everything You Need To Know About Avengers: Infinity Wars
avengers-infinity-war
Daisy Smith daisysmith126
Among all platforms – movies, limited series, TV shows – the Marvel universe has been expanding exponentially and is expected to grow more with time. A really good news for Marvel fans has been delivered by Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige that they are considering the comic book world experience to expand on the big screen for all Marvel fans to cherish. Nowadays, we all are pumped up to watch the Marvel's next big thing: The Avengers: Infinity War.
A refresher On Infinity War Story
You need a lot to catch up on if you haven't started figuring out what is going to happen in the movie. No spoilers are included in this article so you're safe to read it. This movie incorporates backstory of 18 movies in it. How the movie proceeds are that our intergalactic badass Thanos, who's on a look for all the six infinity stones has finally come to light after appearing in several movies through infinity stones references a well. What he possesses is a gauntlet which happens to have a space to fit all the six infinity stones and with the support of these infinity stones, it will be nearly impossible for Avengers to stop him at any cost.
Know the Wild Cards Included in the Movie
Well, if it wasn't clear in the trailer then let me repeat again, it's our outer space wanderers, the Guardians of the Galaxy. For the first time in Marvel movies, we're going to experience the earth-bound heroes working closely with the outer-space wanderers to put a stop on Thanos. In this movie, we're expecting to experience the impromptu dance moves of Star-Lord, the boyhood of the Groot, the smartness (Read: foolishness) of the Drax with the pinch of Gamora, the daughter of Thanos.
Know the Directors and Writers
Marvel Cinematic universe doesn't trust easily on people to work on it. But it has all the trust in the direction of this duo Joe and Anthony Russo. Not only that, it also trusts blindly on the writing skill of the duo Stephan McFeely and Christopher Markus. This writing duo got the chance to write the script of Captain America: The First Avenger and that movie really made a mark on Hollywood with such script. Again, all those four men came together to work on Captain America: The Winter Soldier. That movie was no doubt a massive success at the box office.
But the success streak didn't end there, these four men continued to amaze all the Marvel Universe through their unparalleled direction and writing skills that they made Captain America: Civil War another masterpiece of Marvel. So, it was evident that Marvel couldn't have trusted anyone but these four men to create Avengers: Infinity War that would surpass the expectations of all Marvel fans and produce another masterpiece for Marvel.
I've been following the Marvel Universe and growing up reading the Comic books throughout my life. It was a joy for fans like me to watch all of Marvel Universe movies on a big screen. I was also provided the opportunity by Spectrum silver package to watch all of my favorite Marvel TV shows and movies in high quality.

Monica Whitten, Modesto, California, was sentenced for recording false documents relating to her parents' mortgage.
In 2009, Whitten recorded false documents relating to her parents' mortgage. These documents were intended to delay a pending foreclosure. Whitten's case was delayed due to her fleeing the country. She was arrested when she flew into Atlanta on her return to the United States.
The documents that Ms. Whitten recorded are an example of a common real estate fraud scheme in which defendants pay money for forms that they believe will slow down or stop a foreclosure sale and then they record them at the Clerk/Recorder's Office. The Real Estate industry is now familiar with these types of fraudulent documents and is on the look-out for them. The public is encouraged to avoid becoming involved in these schemes.
Whitten was convicted of two felony counts of Offering to Record or Recording False Documents. Deputy District Attorney Brad Nix prosecuted the case for the People.
Judge Nancy Ashley sentenced Whitten to one year in the county jail, placed her on three years of probation, and ordered her to pay restitution.
Stanislaus County District Attorney Birgit Fladager made the announcement.

This is the output of a complete example run 10 of the branching model, including all complications you should ever hit.
We start with the full history. In the following sections, we will take it apart to see what the commands do. So just take a glance, take in the basic structure and then move on for the details.
Let's take the log apart to show the actions contributors will do.
(edit); hg ci -m "message"
Mind the tag field which is now shown in changeset 0 and the branchname for changeset 1. This is the only release which will ever be on the default branch (because the stable branch only starts to exist after the first commit on it: The commit which adds the tag).
Now we just chuck along. The one commit shown here could be an arbitrary number of commits.
If a hotfix has to be applied to the release out of order, we just update to the stable branch, apply the hotfix and then merge the stable branch into default11. This gives us changesets 4 for the hotfix and 5 for the merge (2 and 3 are shown as reference).
hg ci -m "merge stable into default: ready for more development"
To do a regular release, we just merge the default branch into the stable branch and tag the merge. Then we merge stable back into default. This gives us changesets 6 to 812. The commit-message you use for the merge to stable will become the description for your tag, so you should choose a good description instead of "merge default into stable for release". Userfriendly, simplified release notes would be a good choice.
hg ci -m "merge default into stable for release"
hg ci -m "merged stable into default: ready for more development"
Now we want to do some larger development, so we use a feature branch. The one feature-commit shown here (x) could be an arbitrary number of commits, and as long as you stay in your branch, the development of your colleagues will not disturb your own work. Once the feature is finished, we merge it into default. The feature branch gives us changesets 9 to 13 (with 10 being an example for an unrelated intermediate commit on default).
hg ci --close-branch -m "finished feature x"
hg ci -m "merged finished feature x into default"
Note: Closing the feature branch hides that branch in the output of hg branches (except when using --closed) to make the repository state lean and simple while still keeping the feature branch information in history. It shows your collegues, that they no longer have to keep the feature in mind as soon as they merge the most recent changes from the default branch into their own feature branches.
Note: To make the final merge of your feature into default easier, you can regularly merge the default branch into the feature branch.
Note: We use feature branches to ensure that new clones start at a revision which other developers can directly use. With bookmarks you could get trapped on a feature-head which might not be merged to default for quite some time. For more reasons, see the bookmarks footnote.
The final action is to have a maintainer do a regular merge of default into stable to reach a state from which we could safely do a release. Since we already showed how to do that, we are finished here.
This realizes the successful Git branching model13 with Mercurial while maintaining one release at any given time.
multiple releases - if you need to provide maintenance for multiple releases side-by-side.
grafted micro-releases - if you need to segment the next big changes into smaller releases while leaving out some potentially risky changes.
explicit review - if you want to ensure that only reviewed changes can get into a release, while making it possible to leave out some already reviewed changes from the next releases. Review gets decoupled from releasing.
All these extensions are orthogonal, so you can use them together without getting side-effects.
With this merge-chain you don't need special branches for releases, but all changesets are still clearly recorded. This simplification over git is a direct result of having real anonymous branching in Mercurial.
hg ci -m "merged changes from release 1.1"
In the Diagram this just adds a merge path from the hotfix to the still maintained releases. Note that nothing changed in the workflow of programmers.

If you need to test parts of the current development in small chunks, you can graft micro releases. In that case, just update to stable and merge the first revision from default, whose child you do not want, and graft later changes15.
You have changes 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 on default. First you want to create a release which contains 1 and 4, but not 2, 3 or 5.
hg commit -m "merge stable into default. ready for more development"
Now you want to release the change 2 and 5, but you're still not ready to release 3. So you merge 2 and graft 5.
hg commit -m "merge all changes until 2 from default"

Grafted micro-releases add another layer between development and releases. They can be necessary in cases where testing requires actually deploying a release, as for example in Freenet.
If you want to add a separate review stage, you can use a review branch1819 into which you only merge or graft reviewed changes. The review branch then acts as a staging area for all changes which might go into a release.
To use this extension of the branching model, just create a branch on default called review in which you merge or graft reviewed changes. The first time you do that, you update to the first commit whose children you do not want to include. Then create the review branch with hg branch review and use hg graft REV to pull in all changes you want to include.
On subsequent reviews, you just update to review with hg update nextrelease, merge the first revision which has a child you do not want with hg merge REV and graft additional later changes with hg graft REV as you would do it for micro-releases..
In both cases you create the release by merging the review branch into stable.
A special condition when using a review branch is that you always have to merge hotfixes into the review branch, too, because the review branch does not automatically contain all changes from the default branch.
In the Diagram this just adds the review branch between default and stable instead of the release merge. Also it adds the hotfix merge to the review branch.
An overview of the branching strategy with a review branch. Click the image to get the emacs org-mode ditaa-source.
In the default flow when the users directly use the stable branch you do QA on the default branch before merging to stable. QA is a part of the maintainers job, there.
If your users want external QA, that QA is done for revisions on the stable branch. It is restricted to signing good revisions. Any changes have to be done on the default branch - except for hotfixes for previously signed releases. It is only a hotfix, if your users could already be running a broken version.
There is also an extension with an explicit review branch. There QA is done on the review branch.
This realizes the successful Git branching model with Mercurial.
We now have nice graphs, examples, potential extensions and so on. But since this strategy uses Mercurial instead of git, we don't actually need all the graphics, descriptions and branch categories in the git version - or in this post.
(1) you do all the work on default - except for hotfixes.
You do all the work on default.
If you look at the Git branching model which inspired this Mercurial branching model, you'll note that its diagram is a lot more complex than the diagram of this Mercurial version.
Tags are simple in-history objets, so we need no special branch for them: a tag signifies a release (down to 4 branch-types - and no more duplication of information, since in the git-model a release is shown by a tag and a merge to master).
Hotfixes are simple commits on stable followed by a merge to default, so we also need no branch for them (down to 3 branch-types). And if we only maintain one release at a time, we only need one branch for them: stable (down from branch-type to single branch).
And feature branches are not required for clean separation since mercurial can easily cope with multiple heads in a branch, so developers only have to worry about them if they want to use them (down to 2 mandatory branches).
And since the default branch is the branch to which you update automatically when you clone a repository, new developers don't have to worry about branches at all.
So we get down from 5 mandatory branches (2 of them are categories containing multiple branches) to 2 simple branches without losing functionality.
"If you use feature branches, don't call them default or stable. And don't touch stable".

View Full Version : Last expansion?
Can someone please tell me why we are not allowed to clear the last plot on the latest expansion? Is there something hidden under those trees and rocks tht TL doesn't want us to see yet?
That expasion is looked by TL if they decide to add a new type of animal and they wil need a clear expansion so they can use it, like the Frostfang and Lightning Leopard animals with and their new types.
Gems, do you now? Or you have how to buy a bunch of habitats that cost gems or you will have to do what you always do, selling critters.
Evi what u mean ur outta room? Have u got doubles,I have all animals one of each 2 each of gems and I have heaps of room maybe change ur animals to different habitats sorry just tryn to help.
At this point doubles don't matter and if need be I can sell my super rare duplicates, the problem is I upgraded all the habitats to the premium ones and I don't want to sell them though I got them when they were on sale. If I get to breed my 2nd golden retriever, I would have to sell one of my big farms to accommodate the new treasure grove.
The other issue I have is the nature/earth habitats, I have room for 4-5 more animals only. Again, if need it I sell another farm and put the new habitat we got through the world event and that will give me space for 4 more nature/fire animals.
I doubt that yellow will be next as we already have the lighting leopard ( kinda yellow ). I was thinking more like metal might be next. Who knows.
If the new element is a few plots away for many, my thinking is everyone will be able to skip to that plot automatically just to get the new element. I doubt it you'll have to wait to expand plot after plot until you reach the last one.
I wouldn't be too sure of that, to be honest :| A lot of 'whales' have already cleared the lower shelf already and are asking for new expansions. Whales usually trump lower level players every time because the revenue they bring in is too important to disregard. If Whales stop playing out of boredom/nothing else left to uncover/discover, then they stop spending large amounts of cash since they have no need of it anymore. I wouldn't be surprised if they came out with more expansions in the next few weeks to placate their Whales (or at least introduce a new element/more battlegrounds, etc. to keep them engaged).
Well, TL will let everyone expand to last plot ( by skipping some) if there was a new element. They did that with lighting leopard, many where allowed to skip plots on the way just so they can expand to leopard and start breeding him.
Here's what I think... they are keeping that last plot of land covered to potentially release a new element, but I'm hoping they will release the dark islands with the new element instead. And that the last plot is just there in case they can't get the dark islands ready before they decide they really need to do a new element.
Either way, I'm hoping that it's not immediately. My prediction a couple months ago was that it was coming in mid-January, after all the Christmas stuff was over and removed. I'm thinking late January to early February is probably most likely as the world event started a week late.
I do believe that if the element is released on the green islands, we will be able to expand there within 3-4 expansions regardless of how many we've already done, like they did with the Electric element. I just looked and it would be 6 expansions to get there if you hadn't started on that island at all. I imagine they might let you cheat a little to get there faster once they release it.
Anyway, for those that don't know, you do not HAVE to expand all of the second ice shelf before expanding the second green area. I don't know if you even have to do the first ice shelf first, but if you are in the middle of the second ice shelf, I highly recommend leaving it and starting work on the green area instead. First, because you'll be able to get the new element faster if/when it is released and second, the green area costs WAY less to expand and takes WAY less time in waiting. Every single one of the second ice shelf areas costs a million coins and takes 33 hours to clear. Don't put yourself through that until you have to!
Yeah, I'm relatively new and after I cleared out the big square block of ice I decided to move back down to the forest again. Not that the expanding has been very fast on my part, but yeah. If they do release a new element there, at least I'll be closer to it than if I kept on with ice. I think it would be a good move on their part if they allowed you to expand that plot immediately (presuming you're, say, past the lightning leopard or something).
When are we getting the last plot for expansion or new expansions for that matter?
Ok TL it's time for new expansions don't you think????

Our top 5 moments in Squash 2016
27 Dec, 2016 in Squash Development tagged community sport / England Squash / junior squash / Laura Massaro / Olympics / squash development
Many could say that 2016 was a great year for Squash; we have selected the five moments that stood out for us and made Squash popular again.
Despite the Olympic snub, there is no denying that squash has made the headlines in 2016.
Okay the news of Bath Sports and Leisure Centre removing their Squash courts by GLL was not a great start to the year, but it got people talking about Squash – which translated into plans to revive the sport with local squash communities promoting their squash activities, which showed encouraging signs of an increase in junior squash participation.
The overall news coverage of the sport both in the UK and abroad has been great, thus the key moments in Squash of 2016 that caught our eye:
1) The success of Hong Kong Open, China
This tournament received excellent reviews by the squash community fans and many squash players felt that this event could serve as a catalyst to the event format at the Olympics.
The impact of this event in China was hit with local fans giving a welcome reception to all the players; from which the success of the event will translate into creating more feeder initiatives of Squash that will make the International Olympic Committee (IOC) realise the global appeal of Squash and why it should make an Olympic Sport.
Furthermore, the success of the tournament lead to UK Parliamentary figures lobbying the IOC to get Squash into the Olympics in 2024. As a result one such MP, who happens to be a former Squash champion and former Welsh squash number 1 – Christina Rees MP for Neath in Wales, published a report titled Squash and the Olympic Games, made the issue of getting Squash into the Olympics a topic for debate in the UK Houses of Parliament in July 2016.
2) Rising star Chris Binnie

The news of a rising Squash star from Jamaica is great news as our founder as he and the other Directors are both of Jamaican parentage. In 2016, Chris Binnie (on the left), is the current Jamaican Squash No.1 moved up the Professional Squash Association (PSA) ranking of 89th place. We strongly believe, he is definitely on the road to winning world championships in Squash and will serve with other players from Jamaica as a great role model for the next generation of players.
3) U.K. Squash players making waves – Nick Matthews and Laura Massora

Laura Massora began 2016 as world no.1 and won the China Open in September, but for us the key moment was when she gave her opinion on the Olympic snub by one top golfer. Meanwhile, with Nick Matthews, he made headlines speaking out about the great injustice of squash not featured in the Olympics again as well as progressing to the finals of the US Open in October.
However, news of him lobbying to get Squash into the Olympics by tweeting about his interviews with athletes going to Rio made him a hero too many squash enthusiasts. Let us not forget the senior and junior squash team's success at the Belgium Open Squash Tournament in March; thus, the success will cascade to the squash academies around England, with the hope of more initiatives to get young people to play squash at their local club.
4) The Caribbean Junior Squash development continues to grow

In the Caribbean, we were pleased to see the squash participation amongst the juniors in the Jamaica continue to grow with news of teams taking part in tournaments in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Despite finishing fifth in the tournament, this bodes well for the team in 2017 tournaments as a goal to win.
Meanwhile, in neighbouring Barbados, their junior squash team won a record six gold medals in the individual competition at 34th annual Caribbean Junior Squash Championships in the Cayman Islands.

5) The development of the squash centre for excellence
Leyland Lions Junior Squash & Racketball Club
In July 2016, we mentioned in our blog about Squash is transforming a community with the development of Squash centres for excellence as a part of a sports inclusion initiative for young people with disability. This kind of act means that squash has its mass appeal and will serve a catalyst to increasing squash participation. Furthermore, once Squash is in the Olympics, will also have a place in the Para-Olympics.
Squash to continue grow in 2017……
To conclude, in our opinion, these moments have helped raise the profile of Squash in 2016. Along with the study by sports researchers, acknowledging that Squash and its racquet cousins are the best sports to participate in order to prolong life. This is very encouraging for Squash development in 2017; thus, we hope that IOC members come to their senses and give Squash its rightful place in the 2024 Olympics Games.

Do you need contacts to get published?
It's a common complaint. It's not what you know, but who you know. Or – when it comes to getting published – it's not how well you write, but whether you have contacts in the industry. But is it true?
When I first started getting published, I had no contacts whatsoever. I sent an article to a magazine on spec, and they quickly made an offer. I tried another magazine, and they bit too. Then, armed with possibly too much confidence, I approached a book publisher. Just one! Happily, they accepted my proposal, and I went from being an aspiring writer to a published author with far more ease than I expected. Then – joy of joys – other publishers started approaching me and asking me to write for them. Horray! I was in!
But … this was non-fiction. I'm learning that getting novels published is far more difficult and takes much longer. I'm not sure why. It's probably because there are so many people clammering to write stories, but I don't really know.
What I do know, however, is that having contacts doesn't help much. It hasn't helped me, anyway. What tends to happen is you just get a politer 'no' than you would otherwise. Which isn't surprising. Publishing is a business, after all, and the main goal is to make a profit. A publisher isn't going to take on an author simply because someone recommends them.
It helps to know how publishers work. More than one person has to okay a proposal. The initial reader has to like it, or it ends there. Generally, the commissioning editor, marketing manager, and the boss all have to agree. Having someone arguing your case helps, but it's certainly no guarantee.
There is one way that contacts might help, however. Many publishers don't take unsolicited manuscripts, preferring only to deal with agents. A contact might get your manuscript through an otherwise closed door, but that might be as far as it goes.
So for me, the only contacts that mean anything are the ones that I have personally been able to cultivate. Having someone else speak highly of me hasn't gotten me anywhere. How about you? Do you have any thoughts or experiences that you'd like to share?
Importantly, however: None of this is to say that writing fiction is a hopeless quest. Nor that quality writing does not matter. J K Rowling's success, for example, was not a matter of mere fortuitous timing or market titillation luck. The quality of her prose and storytelling mattered too.
I cannot agree more with you, Stella. Exactly the same here in the US. It is also easier to break through with non fiction. It doesn't mean that writing non fiction is easier than fiction, but there is a need and less writers. Your journey is impressive and I'm happy for you to read about your 6-book-deal. How cool is that! Talking of non fiction I am once more considering the revision of my personal narrative (France to the US). We'll see if it's easier to sell! Nice to read you again, Stella, and to see you so busy.
Thanks, Evelyne. Being busy is great! I think your personal narrative would make great reading, and I hope you give it a go.
Thank you so much, Stella. Coming from you it means a lot. It is hard to write about personal life and bringing a larger dimension to it. That's my goal now that I have the material. Thanks again and best to you.
Sounds like you're on a wonderful roll, Stella. Keep writing…and keep enjoying it!
Thanks Susie. The only way I can stay on a roll is to keep pushing it!
No experience yet, aside from my really quite good writers group. I'm in a similar research stage.
I'm thinking the necessities are changing these days, though. The age we live in requires different things from us than times before now have required.
That's very true. I'm still not sure whether it's generally easier or harder now! Thanks for commenting!

Events : LEJoG in a Princess – day six
11 August 2012 Alexander Boucke 1
AROnline's team tries to include a little more holiday into their last full day…
Words and photography: Alexander Boucke
After having to press on really hard during the last few days, we wanted a little bit more time to relax – and on paper this day looked like we were able to do so: a much shorter distance was to cover compared to before – just under 200 miles, most of them on good roads close to the seashore when traveling from Edinburgh to Goathland, North Yorkshire.
The ongoing Edinburgh Festival looked very interesting indeed but watching how quickly every single road had traffic wardens walking up and down in the morning was equally fascinating. A good job we managed to get our stuff packed in time, given the yellow line under the wheels of the car.
Dunstanburgh Castle not far from Alnwick on the coast was chosen to be our major break. From the short description we had we had no idea of either the size or the magnificence of this ruin. This heavily contributed to the fact that we ran late for most of the remaining journey.
When we reached the North Yorkshire Moors my sat-nav decided to take us around some back-lanes instead of remaining on the A169. This shortcut was perfect to introduce us to the moors – including lots of sheep, a running steam train, inclines that the car would only take in first and a phenomenal sunset.
The day was concluded with a 1960s themed dinner and a glass of champagne to celebrate the successful event.

Based in Aachen, Germany, Alexander has had BMC>ARG cars around him since birth - in fact his earliest childhood memories are from buying a new Landcrab with his family at the age of two. The new cars have aged to classic cars and a few more have joined the family fleet - most of them by now proper classics and many with Hydrolastic or Hydragas suspension. Alexander joined the AROnline team back in 2002 when helping out to get some facts right on the Austin 3 Litre.

Things we like: Magazines' future brightens and charity airs live ad
by Staff January 20, 2017
Hubert Burda Media buys Immediate Media and Cancer Research UK broadcasts live surgery on Channel 4.
Good signs for magazines
Immediate Media's estimated £275m sale to Hubert Burda Media is proof that there's plenty of life in magazine brands. Exponent, the private-equity backer of Immediate, bought the Radio Times and other BBC magazine assets for £121m in 2011 and turbocharged the publishing business under the leadership of Tom Bureau, the chief executive.
Bureau not only expanded in digital but diversified commercially into other revenue streams from events to holidays, based on readers' passions such as craft and weddings. Immediate's rising profits have bucked the gloom in magazine media.
CRUK breaking ad ground
Cancer Research UK broadcast a live surgery on Channel 4 on Wednesday to highlight the impact of its research. It was the first time a colonoscopy, which allows medics to look inside the large intestine, was performed live in an ad break, according to the broadcaster.
Viewers saw a doctor remove small growths on a man's bowel, which can sometimes develop into cancer. The spot was part of the charity's "Right now" campaign by Anomaly and was supported by live broadcast production company Sassy and MediaCom.
... And one thing we don't ...
The fake news crisis
It was all but inevitable that concerns about "fake news" in the run-up to the election victory of Donald Trump would get twisted into a bigger row about facts, untruths and publishing unverified facts (think BuzzFeed, that secret intelligence dossier and golden showers).
No wonder some people say the term "fake news" is becoming meaningless. At least some saner voices are trying to calm things down, with the BBC setting up a dedicated team who will target misleading stories as part of an ongoing series called Reality Check.

Four years after the end of the Great Recession, Minnesota has regained all the private-sector jobs that were lost in the recession. But while the broad numbers are positive, the state's largest cities have fared differently. Some cities have recovered all their jobs, while others haven't.
Figure 1 displays private-sector employment changes for 25 Minnesota cities with the largest employment. Only one city (Golden Valley) suffered no job losses during the recession between 2007 and 2009. In fact, employment in Golden Valley increased each year between 2007 and 2011, before seeing a 1.3 percent decline in employment between 2011 and 2012.
Of the 24 large Minnesota cities that experienced job losses during the recession, nine have fully recovered, pushing their annual average employment in 2012 to above their 2007 levels. Most notable is Minneapolis, which lost 10,955 private-sector jobs (a decline of 4.4 percent) between 2007 and 2009, only to regain 14,713 jobs between 2010 and 2012. In total, private employment levels in Minneapolis in 2012 exceeded the city's 2007 employment level by 4,938 jobs.
One trend may separate the post-recessionary success of large Minnesota cities from other small- to mid-sized cities: growth in the years immediately following the recession. Only two cities (Duluth and St. Paul) had continued employment declines between 2010 and 2012.
But for those cities that gained employment between 2010 and 2012, it may not have been enough to get back to pre-recessionary employment levels. Table 1 shows the job losses during the recession and subsequent gains by cities with 2012 employment averages above their 2007 employment levels. All of these cities are within the seven-county Twin Cities region.
Of cities in Greater Minnesota, Mankato had only 22 fewer private-sector jobs in 2012 than in 2007. Jobs in Rochester (-354), Winona (-1,096), Duluth (-2,161), and St. Cloud (-4,238) were also off from their higher 2007 employment levels. It's St. Paul, however, that has the most ground to make up, needing to gain back 5,989 jobs before reaching pre-recessionary employment levels.
Recovery is still underway in more than half of Minnesota's largest cities, which hadn't recovered from their recessionary job losses by 2012.
The central cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul deserve their own attention, as their recessionary and post-recessionary trends have deviated. Both cities witnessed job loss between 2007 and 2009. Minneapolis lost a larger number of jobs and a larger share of private-sector employment than St. Paul, which lost 4,332 jobs, a decline of 3 percent.
While employment in St. Paul continued to decline in 2010, increased slightly in 2011 and declined again in 2012, employment in Minneapolis increased each year since 2009.

Roberts, Raymond E.
by poolefh | September 28, 2021 2:50 pm
Raymond Roberts, age 74, of Grafton, Wisconsin passed away after a lengthy illness Tuesday, September 28, 2021 at the Clement Zablocki VA Medical Center in Milwaukee.
He was born on December 16, 1946 in Escanaba, MI; the son of Hubert and Elsie Bryant Roberts. As a young man, he moved to Milwaukee where he entered the US Army during the Vietnam War. He served in Vietnam from 1966 to 1969. As a Sergeant, Ray was a paratrooper who had been awarded three purple hearts. He was very proud of his time serving his country.
In 1968, he married Elizabeth "Liz" Botz in Milwaukee and eventually they made their way to Port Washington which they would call home. For many years, Ray worked at the former Telsmith Manufacturing Company in Mequon. Upon retiring from Telsmith in 2009, Ray and Liz moved to Door County. During his time in Door County, Ray earned a black belt in Karate. He shared his love of karate by helping teach other students the art. After a few years in Door County, they returned back to Port Washington.
Ray was a life member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 9290 of Fish Creek, WI, Landt-Thiel American Legion Post 470 of Saukville, Disabled American Veterans (DAV) and the National Rifle Association (NRA). He was also the past governor of the Loyal Order of Moose Lodge 1043 of Saukville, as well as, holding many other lodge positions and committee involvement.
One of the things that Ray was most fond of was spending time meeting with fellow veterans at conventions and gatherings, talking and sharing of experiences, making new friends and reading and watching documentaries on the war. Ray valued the camaraderie these gatherings provided in his life. He was also an avid deer hunter.
He is survived by his wife Liz, his daughter Melissa Houck, her husband and son, grandchildren Paige and Taylor Rammel; his sister Denise (Richard "Dick") Weber, his brothers Tom (Alice), Dennis (Janet) and Noel (Janet) Roberts, nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
Ray is preceded in death by his parents and his daughter Amy Roberts Rammel.
Ray will be sincerely missed by those he has left here and will be received with love by those who have been waiting for him there.
A gathering to celebrate Ray's life will take place on Saturday, October 23, 2021 from 1-3pm at the Poole Funeral Home, 203 N. Wisconsin St., Port Washington.
Memorials to the Honor Flight (www.honorflight.org) appreciated.

Next to The Salutation pub, the MIRIAD and MMU art school local, was, until recently, a car park. Soon it will be the new MMU Student Union. But first, a little archaeology exposed the basements of several nineteenth century buildings, nicely paved.
There was even a basement complete with fireplace, water heater and sink.


Gin has becoming increasingly popular in recent years - and now the ultimate event for gin lovers is coming to the South West.

2017 was the first year for Energy Efficiency Alberta and it went better than anyone imagined.
The organization, well-known for its spring and fall campaigns this year to offer discounts on things like LED light bulbs, smart power strips and smart thermostats, does a whole lot more. The group offers home improvement rebates, online rebates, helps businesses and non-profits become more energy efficient and encourages investments in renewable energy.
In 2017, Energy Efficiency Alberta saved Albertans more than $300 million in energy costs. One of the highlights of the year, says CEO Monica Curtis, is the 500 households and businesses that have applied for the Residential and Commercial Solar Program.
"When you think of the small-scale solar installations in Alberta, historically, to have done 100 installations across the province would have been seen as a big number. So, this has been a substantial increase."
Economic diversification is one of the Alberta Government's big projects going forward. Through their programs, Energy Efficiency Alberta estimates that approximately 1,200 private sector jobs will be created.
"Energy efficiency and renewable energy are very labour intensive," said Curtis. "When energy efficiency programs are encouraging that kind of participation, we do see contractors, solar installers, distributors... all of those organizations in the supply chain do experience an increase in business and that that results in new jobs in their organization."
There's nothing new in the works for 2018, but Curtis and her team will be examining the existing products and programs in market and looking for ways to improve them.
"Every one of our programs have had strong participation and we're learning around the interest and needs of Alberta business and residents relative to energy efficiency," explained Curtis. "We really look forward to continuing to partner with both facility owners, homeowners and the businesses that serve them to continue to bring savings, energy savings [and] environmental benefits that come from energy efficiency."

3014 - The NYMR & The Esk Valley Line Vol 5 Ltd edition
Author: John Hunt
The North Yorkshire Moors Railway and The Esk Valley Line – Past and Present Volume 5 (Limited Edition)
Once again, in true 'Past and Present' style, John Hunt presents a completely new selection of 'past' views that have been paired with their present-day equivalents to tell the unfolding story of one of Britain's most popular heritage lines.
During its 50th anniversary in 2017 the NYMR celebrated everything it has achieved since its inception back in 1967; it now carries around 350,000 passengers each year, has an annual turnover of more than £5 million, employs more than 100 paid staff in the peak season, and is supported by an even greater number of volunteers, who actually run the trains. All this is a far cry its lowest ebb back in March 1965.
The Limited Edition contains 32 exclusive extra pages looking behind the scenes of the NYMR and featuring many of the people who operate it. Some staff and volunteers will be familiar to passengers who travel on the railway but there are many more who are not so visible. Without the dedication and enthusiasm of the whole team the railway would not be the success that it is today
About the author: John Hunt will be well known to Nostalgia Collection readers having written several previous books for Silver Link and Past & Present Publishing. Perhaps less well known is that John is a regular member of the footplate crew for the Jocobite service both driving and firing the various steam locomotives used on the route. When not on the'Jacobite' John can also be found on main line steam specials and the North Yorkshire Moors Railway


Your long-term health doesn't come down to how many diets you've been on or how many time's you've gone on vacation : it all comes down to the little things you do every day to improve your wellbeing.
These little habits start the moment you wake up and follow you throughout the day until the moment you fall asleep.
One of the best ways to kick-start your daily routine is by drinking a mixture of apple cider vinegar and honey before having your morning coffee.
Honey contains polyphenols, antioxidants that protect cells against free radical damage. These active compounds also reduce your risk of serious medical conditions like heart disease and cancer. Eating honey is a safe way to increase the level of antioxidants in your blood (1).
Honey is a common wound treatment in traditional medicine practices worldwide. Enzymes found in honey actually produce hydrogen peroxide to kill bad bacteria. "Medical-grade" honey can even fight the antibiotic-resistant bacteria that are responsible for several life-threatening infections (2).
Honey, particularly manuka honey, has the ability to fight dental plaque and gingivitis to keep your gums clean and healthy if taken after a meal. Taking it before a meal may have similar effects (3).
The acetic acid in ACV works on a cellular level to stabilize your blood sugar levels. If taken before a meal, vinegar can help prevent postprandial hyperglycemia and increase insulin-stimulated glucose uptake by your muscles (4).
Not only can vinegar help manage blood sugar levels, it also has a positive effect on cholesterol and insulin sensitivity. Additionnaly, ACV improves digestion and increases satiety if taken before a meal. Consuming it regularly will even promote weight loss and detox.
It's important to take honey and ACV on an empty stomach to encourage prompt digestion. It will also kick-start your metabolism and encourage stomach acid production to improve the digestion of your first meal of the day.
Talk to your doctor before taking this mixture since it can interfere with prescription medication and affect potassium levels as well as bone density in at-risk individuals.
Mix all the ingredients in a tall glass.
Drink at least 20 minutes before breakfast.

Anti-Rent Control, Anti-Tenants' Rights Forces Line Up Behind Wendy Greuel's Bid for Los Angeles Mayor

It was nearly two month ago that the Coalition for Economic Survival (CES) expressed great concern over LA City Controller and Mayoral Candidate Wendy Greuel's enthusiastic announcement about receiving the endorsement of the landlord group, Apartment Association of Greater Los Angeles (AAGLA).
Those concerns has been increased with the announced on Monday that the Central City Association (CCA) has endorsed Wendy Greuel's bid for Mayor.
Demonstration Outside CCA Office Protesting Its Pro-Gentrification Stance
The CCA is a business advocacy group that lobbies city and state government to grease the wheels for development in downtown. Besides landlords and developers, it also represents large corporations, such as Chevron, Walmart, Verizon, JP Morgan Chase & Co., Wells Fargo and Bank of America.
The Central City Association has been a consistent opponent of tenants' rights, rent control and restricting condo conversions that displaces tenants.
Some examples of CCA's efforts include opposing a temporary rent freeze introduced by LA City Council Member Richard Alarcon that would have given the City Council time to debate potential amendments to the rent control ordinance without saddling LA tenants with more unjust rent increases.
CCA opposed LA City Council Member and Mayoral Candidate Eric Garcetti's amendment to a local provision of the Ellis Act (state law prohibiting local jurisdictions from preventing landlords from going out of the rent business), which would require developers the choice of constructing a new, rent stabilized building (where rent control would extend to every new unit, regardless of size of demolished building), or replacing the lost rent stabilized units one for one with units that would be affordable to those making 80% of AMI or less, up to 20% of the total building units. It was a provision that CES strongly supported and was passed.
CCA opposed a moratorium on condo conversions and demolitions in Los Angeles. From 2001 to 2007 nearly 15,000 LA rent control units were lost due to condo conversions and demolitions to build new condos. City Council District 2, represented by Wendy Greuel at the time, had the third largest number of rent controlled units lost in the City.
"A moratorium sends absolutely the wrong message at absolutely the wrong time, because the condo market is slowing down significantly," said Carol Schatz, who heads the CentralCity Association. "And while there may be some projects still in the pipeline, there aren't that many. It scares investors anytime you talk about a moratorium, and let's not forget that housing drives the L.A. economy.
CES Executive Director Larry Gross responded, "In other words, CCA was essentially saying when the condo market is hot, it is unfair to destroy pending investments by enacting a moratorium. When the market cools, it is unfair because it will deter the formation of new speculator groups seeking to profit by evicting tenants and eliminating rent-controlled housing."
Gross observed that, "It appears that Greuel has been able to coalesce the forces that have been at the forefront of the fight to destroy rent control and undermine tenants' rights behind her mayoral candidacy."
Besides AAGLA and CCA, the Beverly Hills/Greater Los Angeles Association of Realtors Local PAC, the Los Angeles County Federation of Business (Biz Fed), the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce's Jobs PAC, and the Valley Industry and Commerce Association (VICA) PAC are all supporting Greuel.
All these endorsements are based on the belief that Greuel will support them on issues of concern to them," said Gross. "They clearly believe that Wendy Greuel would be a better Mayor for landlords and developers. This is a very important factor that tenants must keep in mind when they cast their ballots for Mayor on May 21, Election Day."
In addition, homeless advocacy groups, such as LACAN, have been actively opposing the CCA's "Downtown 2020" plan, which they state calls for no affordable housing to be built in Downtown, and increased police and criminalization efforts against homeless and poor residents.
CCA was also a key opponent to labor unions and supporters efforts to extend the City's living wage ordinance to hotels near LAX.
