Trout fires Angels to victory over Astros, Bellinger and Tatis injured
By	Sports Desk	April 06, 2021
Mike Trout delivered his first home run of the 2021 season as the Los Angeles Angels defeated the Houston Astros 7-6 in MLB on Monday.
The 29-year-old three-time American League Most Valuable Player clubbed a towering shot from Luis Garcia to left field to earn the Angels their first run in the fourth inning when they were trailing 4-0.
However once again the Angels did most of their work late, with four runs in the eighth inning, meaning they have scored in either the eighth or ninth inning in all five of their games this season.
The win improves the Angels to 4-1 while the Astros, who were once again booed, suffer their first loss to move to 4-1.
The Los Angeles Dodgers triumphed 10-3 over the winless Oakland Athletics but they lost star man Cody Bellinger to injury.
The two-time All Star was removed with a reported foot injury during a close play at first base where he was stepped on.
Rangers crowd silenced, Stanton slam leads Yankees
Full crowds were back in Dallas but the Texas Rangers did not give them much to cheer as the Toronto Blue Jays won 6-2.
Marcus Semien hit his second home run of the new season early, before Cavan Biggio went back-to-back in the second inning too, opening up a 4-0 lead.
The return of bumper crowds was a different dynamic as noted by Rangers shortstop Isiah Kiner-Falefa who said it "nerve wracking" and that it felt "like my debut all over again".
The New York Yankees cruised to a 7-0 victory over the Baltimore Orioles with Giancarlo Stanton hitting a monster 471-foot home run in the fifth with bases loaded.
The Philadelphia Phillies maintained their perfect record with a 5-3 win over the New York Mets, although they left it late, with five runs at the bottom of the eighth.
Tatis injures shoulder in strike-out
The San Diego Padres lost talented 22-year-old shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr to a shoulder subluxation as he swung at an Anthony DeSclafani curveball in their 3-2 loss to the San Francisco Giants. Tatis looked in considerable pain and was escorted off the field.
Debutant Dustin on fire
Rookie pitcher Dustin May produced a sizzling display for the Dodgers in their win over the As, with eight strike-outs and six scoreless innings.

Mets expect veteran MLB manager Showalter to take team 'to the next level'
The New York Mets believe Buck Showalter is the man who will lead the team back to the postseason after a five-year absence.
Showalter officially took over as Mets manager on Monday, agreeing to a three-year deal.
Owner Steve Cohen had announced the hire via Twitter on Saturday.
"Buck has been one of the best baseball minds for the last two decades and he makes teams better," Cohen said in a release. "We have a lot of talent on this team and Buck is the right manager to take us to the next level and lead us to sustained success. I am excited he is our new manager."
The 65-year-old Showalter has 20 years of experience managing MLB teams, most recently leading the Baltimore Orioles to three postseason appearances during his stint there from 2010-18.
He previously managed the Texas Rangers (2003-06), Arizona Diamondbacks (1998-2000) and New York Yankees (1992-95).
A three-time Manager of the Year, Showalter has a career record of 1,551-1,517.
He has twice led teams to the postseason after they had lost more than 90 games the previous years, and the Mets will be hoping for a repeat of that magic after posting just one winning campaign since their last postseason trip in 2016.
He replaces Luis Rojas, who had his contract option declined after going 103-119 the last two seasons.
Showalter will be the fifth man to manage the Yankees and Mets, joining Casey Stengel, Yogi Berra, Dallas Green and Joe Torre.
MLBPA hits back and says players will 'rise to the occasion' as MLB confirms lockout
The Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA) has described the league lockout as a move designed by team owners "to pressure players into relinquishing rights and benefits".
MLB has entered a lockout situation after it could not find agreement on new labour terms with the MLBPA.
This had long been anticipated after months of fruitless negotiations regarding a new collective bargaining agreement (CBA) – the deal that governs the working relationship between players and teams.
It means that from Thursday, employees will not be able to work until a new deal is struck, with team officials and players unable to communicate in any way.
A previous strike led by players forced the 1994 World Series to be scrapped and it lasted into 1995, but MLB chiefs are optimistic there will be no such disruption this time.
MLB commissioner Rob Manfred said he hoped the development would serve to "jump-start the negotiations and get us to an agreement that will allow the season to start on time". The 2022 season is due to begin on March 31.
On its part, the MLBPA declared a determination to strike a deal.
The MLBPA said in a statement: "Major League Baseball has announced a lockout of players, shutting down our industry.
"This shutdown is a dramatic measure, regardless of timing. It is not required by law or for any other reason. It was the owners' choice, plain and simple, specifically calculated to pressure players into relinquishing rights and benefits and abandoning good faith bargaining proposals that will benefit not just players, but the game and industry as a whole.
"These tactics are not news. We have been here before, and players have risen to the occasion time and again – guided by solidarity that has been forged over generations. We will do so again here.
"We remain determined to return to the field under the terms of a negotiated collective bargaining agreement that is fair to all parties, and provides fans with the best version of the game we all love."
The shutdown confirmation followed a flurry of high-profile free-agency deals.
Manfred, speaking for MLB, said the players had been inflexible in negotiations, claiming the MLBPA "came to the bargaining table with a strategy of confrontation over compromise". He described the MLBPA's demands as "the most extreme set of proposals in their history".
Cy Young winner Ray ready to bring World Series to Mariners
Seattle Mariners recruit Robbie Ray said he is ready to bring a World Series to the franchise following his unveiling on Wednesday.
After capping a career year with the American League (AL) Cy Young Award, Ray opted to leave the Toronto Blue Jays for the Mariners in free agency.
Ray signed a five-year, $115million contract in Seattle, where the 2017 All-Star will headline their rotation after his breakout year in Toronto.
"This team, the city is hungry for a World Series," Ray said during his introductory news conference midweek – the Mariners have never won the World Series or an AL pennant.
"To be a part of it and bring it back right here, I just wanted to be here."
Ray enjoyed a stellar campaign for the Blue Jays, who narrowly missed out on the MLB playoffs despite a 91-win season.
The 30-year-old boasted a 2.84 ERA – the best among qualifiers in the AL, having come off a 6.62 ERA last year.
Ray – acquired by the Blue Jays in 2020 – led the AL in ERA-plus (154) and WHIP (1.045), while striking out an MLB-best 248 batters in 32 starts.
"It just seemed like a really good fit and we were ready to move forward," Ray said of joining the Mariners. "I mean, it happened really quickly, but we're glad that it did."
"I've always had the mindset of going out and attacking. But it didn't necessarily match up with the delivery," Ray said. "This year, I feel like I really nailed that down and I feel really good about the consistency of the delivery. That consistency, matched with that mindset, I feel like is what allowed me to succeed this year."
Seattle's president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto added: "I think that's one of the main attractions for us is we want to be the team where, when other teams are coming to Seattle to play us, they look at the three pitchers or the four pitchers that are lined up for that series and they say, 'Oh man'".


The Sandy Hook Pilots provide pilotage service for the ports of New York, New Jersey, Hudson River, Hell's Gate, and Long Island Sound. The pilot vessel NEW YORK is the largest in the pilot's fleet and has been in service since 1971. After 30+ years of service, the vessel needed to be re-powered. A $1.7 million re-powering project was initiated and completed during 2004.
The re-powering included replacement of the entire propulsion system from the main engine to the propellers. The new equipment includes two Caterpillar 3512B marine engines, coupled with Lufkin RS1800S-1250 reduction gears. New 4-bladed Rolls-Royce propellers were selected to help reduce vibration. RexRoth electronic controls were installed to replace the original pneumatic control system. The new propulsion system increases efficiency, reliability, and complies with modern emissions requirements.
JMS was contracted to provide Sandy Hook Pilots Association with engineering support throughout the project. Prior to entering dry dock at GMD Shipyard in Brooklyn, NY, JMS helped with writing the shipyard bid package, preparing drawings for shipyard installations, and submitting calculations and plans to ABS for review and approval. Drawings included shaft arrangements, equipment foundations, control console layouts, channel cooler arrangements, and piping arrangements. JMS also aided in identification and selection of various pieces of equipment.
JMS designed the keel cooling system for the main engines, reduction gears, and generator sets. The system consists of a series of "C" channels welded directly to the hull of the vessel. This simple closed system consists of individual circuits for each generator and main engine/gear set.
During the shipyard period, JMS employees were on hand for the major events, as well as for ABS and USCG inspections. These events included cutting a large opening in the side shell to provide access to the engine room, keel cooler installation, shaft and propeller installation, and shaft alignment. JMS also provided on site owners rep services in discussions with shipyard employees regarding work items, and in discussions with various equipment vendors.
JMS developed final plans, drawings and engineering calculations to submit to ABS and USCG for review and approval as well as shipyard plans and installation drawings. Once the installations were completed and the vessel floated, JMS conducted an inclining test and prepared a stability report to be submitted to ABS for review on behalf of USCG.
The vessel is currently in operation and the owners are pleased with the results. The investment in re-powering the vessel has greatly extending the service life and the performance of the vessel.

Q: Motivation for the dot product We can motivate the cross product by considering a 3D vector perpendicular to two others. This results in 3 equations in 2 unknowns, i.e. a line of solutions, and...

$\lambda(u_2 v_3 - v_2 u_3, u_1 v_3 - v_1 u_3, u_2 v_1 - u_1 v_2)$

...emerges naturally.
An analogous consideration for the dot product would be projection of one vector onto another. i.e. given unit $\bf{\hat{u}},\bf{\hat{v}}$ and angle $\theta$, we seek a coordinate representation for $\bf{\hat{u}}$ $\cos(\theta)$.
However I can't see an analogous method that plops out $u_1 v_1 + ... + u_k v_k$.
Every method I have seen involves conjuring that expression out of the blue, observing it is a linear operator, etc.
That doesn't seem satisfying to me.
Is there some way to summon $\bf{\hat{u}} \cdot \bf{\hat{v}}$ into existence without conjuring it out of thin air and post-justifying the construction?
PS No dot-product tag?!?
EDIT: I found a solution here -- bizarrely downvoted to -1 while the (poorly phrased) question stands at +28(!)

A: The dot product is "the one that gives the length of vectors".
Suppose that we want the (squared) length of a vector.
The Pythagoras theorem in 3 dimensions gives:
$$
|{\bf{v}}|^2 = {v_1}^2 + {v_2}^2 + {v_3}^2\;.
$$
If you admit that this is some kind of product of $\bf{v}$ with itself, then you get the scalar product (or the Clifford product).
If instead you are not yet completely convinced, look then at:
$$
|{\bf{v}+\bf{w}}|^2 = |{\bf{v}}|^2 + 2\,(v_1w_1+v_2w_2+v_3w_3) + |{\bf{w}}|^2\;.
$$
This looks like the identity $(x+y)^2=x^2+2xy+y^2$, and the mixed term in the middle corresponds exactly to twice the scalar product.
By the way, there is a tag "inner product space".

A: The dot product is a special case of the more general inner product.  Generally speaking, we if we have a scalar field $\mathbb{F}$ and a vector space $V$ over $\mathbb{F}$, the inner product is a type of mapping that assigns two vectors from $V$ a scalar from $\mathbb{F}$ and is denoted $\langle .,.\rangle$ where you replace the dots with vectors. More concisely, we write $$\langle .,. \rangle: V\times V \rightarrow \mathbb{F}.$$ $\mathbb{F}$ is either $\mathbb{R}$, the space of real numbers, or $\mathbb{C}$, the space of complex numbers.
It has some specific properties, which I will list. Let $\mathbb{F}=\mathbb{R}$ and $V$ be a vector space over $\mathbb{R}$. Let $v_1,w_1,v_2,w_2 \in V$ and $\alpha_1,\alpha_2,\beta_1,\beta_2 \in \mathbb{R}$.

*

*Multilinearity: $\langle \alpha_1 u_1+ \alpha_2 u_2 ,v_1 \rangle=\alpha_1 \langle u_1,v_1 \rangle + \alpha_2 \langle u_2,v_1 \rangle$ and
$\langle u_1,\beta_1v_1+\beta_2v_2 \rangle=\beta_1\langle u_1,v_1 \rangle + \beta_2 \langle u_1,v_2 \rangle.$

*Symmetry: $\langle u,v \rangle= \langle v,u \rangle$

*Positive definiteness: $\langle u,u \rangle \geq 0$ and $\langle u,u \rangle=0$ iff $u=0$

Show that for the vector space $\mathbb{R}^n$ over the field $\mathbb{R}$, for $v=(v_1,...,v_n), w=(w_1,...,w_n) \in \mathbb{R}^n$, $\langle v,w \rangle= \sum_{i=1}^{n}v_iw_i$ is a valid inner product. (This is the usual dot product).
If we let $\mathbb{F}=\mathbb{C}$, things change a little bit. Let $v_1,w_1,v_2,w_2 \in V$ and $\alpha_1,\alpha_2,\beta_1,\beta_2 \in \mathbb{C}$.

*

*Multilinearity: $\langle \alpha_1 u_1+ \alpha_2 u_2 ,v_1 \rangle=\alpha_1 \langle u_1,v_1 \rangle + \alpha_2 \langle u_2,v_1 \rangle$ and
$\langle u_1,\beta_1v_1+\beta_2v_2 \rangle=\overline{\beta_1}\langle u_1,v_1 \rangle + \overline{\beta_2} \langle u_1,v_2 \rangle.$

*Conjugate Symmetry: $\langle u,v \rangle= \overline{\langle v,u \rangle}$

*Positive definiteness: $\langle u,u \rangle \geq 0$ and $\langle u,u \rangle=0$ iff $u=0$

Here $\overline{\beta}$ means you take the complex conjugate of $\beta$.
Show that for the vector space $\mathbb{C}^n$ over the field $\mathbb{C}$, for $v=(v_1,...,v_n), w=(w_1,...,w_n) \in \mathbb{C}^n$ ,$\langle v,w \rangle= \sum_{i=1}^{n}v_i\overline{w_i}$ is a valid inner product.
Now the unanswered question is why we bother using this general definition of inner product. The answer lies in the fact that we want to define concepts like "orthogonality" and "projection" mean in vector spaces other than $\mathbb{R}^n$. One application of the inner product is that you can obtain the Fourier series of $f(x)$, which approximates $f(x)$ by sine waves and cosine waves. For more on that, check out my answer to this question: Origin of coefficients of fourier series?

A: From "projection of one vector onto another", when you admit that it is distributive vs. the sum (projection of the sum = sum of the projections), then it does plop out
$$
u \cdot v = \left( {u_1  +  \cdots  + u_k } \right) \cdot v = u_1  \cdot v +  \cdots  + u_k  \cdot v = u_1  \cdot v_1  +  \cdots  + u_k  \cdot v_k
$$

Das Appenloch ist eine natürliche Karsthöhle bei Münzinghof, einem Gemeindeteil der mittelfränkischen Stadt Velden im Landkreis Nürnberger Land in Bayern.

Beschreibung
Die Höhle, die auch als Michelhöhle oder Friedrichshöhle bezeichnet wird, befindet sich am Westhang des Appenbergs und ist etwa 1200 Meter nordöstlich von Rupprechtstegen entfernt. Die Höhle ist im Geotopkataster Bayern unter der Nummer 574H016 gelistet. Im Höhlenkataster Fränkische Alb (HFA) ist die Höhle als D 150 registriert, daneben ist sie auch als Bodendenkmal "Höhlenstation vor- und frühgeschichtlicher Zeitstellung" beim Bayerischen Landesamt für Denkmalpflege eingetragen.
Sie ist eine kurze Horizontalhöhle von etwa 20 Metern Länge. Die Größe des Eingangs beträgt etwa 17 mal 4 Meter. An den Eingang schließt sich der etwa 20 Meter lange, 7 Meter breite und bis zu 3 Metern hoche Hauptraum an. Von dieser Felsenhalle aus führen einige enge Gänge in das zerklüftete Gestein. Die Höhle wird freizeitlich genutzt und es sind nur noch vereinzelt Sintergruppen, Mondmilch und Deckenkolke zu finden. Erwähnenswerte Tropfsteine befinden sich nicht in der Höhle.

Geschichte
Bei Ausgrabungen im Jahre 1895 wurden vermutlich menschliche Skelettreste, Urnenscherben und Knochen von verschiedenen Tieren gefunden. Eine weitere Grabung fand im Jahr 1930 statt. Die Funde sind nur teilweise erhalten.

Zugang
Die Höhle ist ganzjährig frei zugänglich und gefahrlos zu erkunden.
Über zahlreiche Wanderwege ist sie von Rupprechtstegen oder Raitenberg aus erreichbar. Von einem Schotterweg führt ein kleiner Pfad hinauf zur Höhle.
In unmittelbarer Nähe der Höhle befinden sich zwei weitere kleinere Felsengrotten (Appenbergfelsgrotten D 150a und D 150b).

nice. but you need to be able to meditate, relax, be serene. I ma the opposite. Fast, impatient, doing too many things at once…I should learn from people like you, Smart people who can relax and slow down…any advice how?
I type like that, too. Dysgraphia, though, not speed. As for how to slow down? The best thing I can do is recommend a book or two by Jon Kabat-Zinn Wherever You Go There You Are, and Full Catastrophe Living. He is the expert. I think the latter one is the best place to start. Enjoy.
We'll see. It is more my personality, I think. But I will check the books Thanks.

Snapchat will have sponsored content – Olhar Digital
Snapchat may be about to introduce its first payable initiative. Amid self-destructive messages, there will be newspaper articles, advertisements and TV or movie clips circulating through the app.
The news, according to the Wall Street Journal, are under the name Snapchat Discovery and will be implemented in November. The startup would be talking to potential partners to leverage the idea.
The intention is to enable companies to offer short and daily content that can be consumed in an ephemeral way, like the rest of the material present on Snapchat.
There are already brands exploring the platform, but this would be the first time that Snapchat enters with sponsored content and, if it works out, it will also be the first time that it receives money to prove that the bets made by the market are really worth.
Just three years old, Snapchat secured funds last year that took its valuation to $ 2 billion. The company later declined a $ 3 billion offer from Facebook, and last month, when Alibaba Group considered investing in the platform, its valuation rose to more than $ 10 billion.

Much of the server management that previously required access to the NetWare server console can now be done with NoRM, discussed later in this chapter. NoRM lets you perform most management tasks that normally require access to the server console from a remote workstation or even from across the Internet. However, to manage any version of NetWare 5 or NetWare 6 remotely, you can also use RConsoleJ, which is part of ConsoleOne. Although RConsoleJ does not offer the flexibility of NoRM, it can save significant time by letting you manage servers to which you have a LAN/WAN connection.
If you have NetWare 4.x or earlier servers on your network, you will have to use the DOS-based RConsole utility that shipped with these versions of NetWare. Consult your server documentation for more information.
RConsoleJ is a Java applet that provides a server "window" on your workstation from which you can use console utilities, load/unload NLMs, and change server configuration just as if you were using the server's actual keyboard and monitor. Using RConsoleJ enables you to access the server from any workstation on the network, which gives you greater freedom when administering your network.
RConsoleJ requires the IP protocol to connect to NetWare servers remotely. However, if you want to use it to connect to a server that is running IPX only, you can do so by routing RConsoleJ communications through a secondary proxy server, which has both IP and IPX protocol stacks loaded. The proxy server acts as a gateway between RConsoleJ and the IPX server.
Because RConsoleJ is part of ConsoleOne, you can run it from any platform that supports ConsoleOne, including Windows, NetWare, Linux, Solaris, and Tru64.
Set up the target server, which is the server you want to access remotely.
(Conditional) Install proxy software on an IP server if the target server is only running IPX.
Install RConsoleJ software on the workstation or server from which you want to run the remote console session.
The target server is the server whose console you want to access during the remote console session. The target server can be running IP or IPX.
Enter the password you want administrators to use when accessing the target server from RConsoleJ. You do not need an eDirectory password because RConsoleJ does not use eDirectory.
Enter the TCP port number for the unencrypted session. The default value is 2034. If the server communicates using IPX only, enter –1 to disable TCP listening. To enable listening over a dynamically assigned port, enter 0.
Enter the TCP port number for the secure session. The default port number is 2036. Ensure the Key Material object named SSL CertificateDNS has been created.
The secure connection is available only on IP and not on IPX.
Enter the SPX port number on which RCONAG6 will listen for a proxy server. The default port number is 16800. If the server communicates using IP only, enter –1 to disable SPX listening. To enable listening over a dynamically assigned port, enter 0.
This server will act as a middleman between the RConsoleJ client, which only communicates via IP and a NetWare server running on IPX. To do this, the RConsoleJ proxy server must have both IP and IPX protocol stacks loaded.
Enter the TCP port number on which RCONPRXY will listen for RConsoleJ. The default value is 2035. To enable listening over a dynamically assigned port, enter 0.
Once the NetWare server is running the RConsoleJ proxy agent, the RConsoleJ client can communicate through it with the IPX target server.
The default AUTOEXEC.NCF file in NetWare 6.5 will include an optional command that you can uncomment to autoload RConsoleJ modules at startup. However, because loading these modules requires you to specify a remote password, it is more secure to use LDRCONAG.NCF, which lets you encrypt the password so that it cannot be viewed by anyone with access to the AUTOEXEC.NCF. LDRCONAG.NCF includes all the necessary RConsoleJ commands necessary to support RConsoleJ.
Enter the password you want to use for remote console sessions.
Enter the other required port information as outlined in the previous section. The system will display the encrypted password value and a message prompting whether the RCONAG6 command should be written to the SYS:SYSTEM\LDRCONAG.NCF file. To include the RCONAG6 command with your encrypted password in the LDRCONAG.NCF file, enter Y.
Save and exit the AUTOEXEC.NCF file.
The server will now automatically load the necessary remote modules and your encrypted password whenever it is started.
If you are running RConsoleJ from a NetWare server, you can start it directly from the server GUI by selecting the Novell button and then selecting Programs and RConsoleJ. You can then continue with step 3.
Open ConsoleOne and browse to the server object you want to control.
Right-click the server object and select Remote Console.
In the RConsoleJ screen, shown in Figure 3.2, specify the required information and select Connect.
Figure 3.2 The Remote Console interface from ConsoleOne.
Connection Options: Specify whether you are connecting via Secure or Unsecure IP. If you are using Unsecure IP, you can choose whether to connect directly or through a proxy.
Remote Server: Specify the target server's name for a direct connection or the proxy server's name for a proxy connection. Enter the remote password. The port number will be automatically inserted unless you have changed it from the default.
If you are running ConsoleOne from a different server, or if you have installed ConsoleOne locally, you may be prompted to accept an unknown certificate. If so, click OK to accept the certificate and launch the RConsoleJ window.
For more information on using RConsoleJ, see the NetWare 6.5 online documentation.


Happy Super Bowl Sunday! It looks like it will be a great day to gather and celebrate the moment with 110 million other people. Now in case you were wondering, I do think it is okay to pray for your football team to win as long as your team is the 49ers. Some might have noticed my tie is the color of the Baltimore Ravens. But I chose to wear to help us prepare our hearts for the upcoming Lenten Season that starts in 10 days.
It is an interesting Super Bowl this year. The two coaches are brothers. And so it is inevitable that one brother will go home defeated, while the other will be showered in champagne and Gatorade. One will have to watch the other bask in the glory of the moment and try not to let his envy show. In the locker room, one team will have to listen to the others victorious celebration taking place on the field. It will be one teams time to shine.
Unless you have won a Super Bowl, we can only imagine the terrific joy that pumps through the players hearts in that moment. And it got me thinking about how our church could benefit from living life this way? That is to say, basking in the moment with God's glory pumping through our hearts. And so today I would like to focus on how living in the moment brings us closer to experiencing such joy.
What do I mean when I say to live in the moment? I mean to live in a way that intentionally focuses the present. It is in this active, state of mindfulness we hand over control of our thoughts to God. By allowing ourselves to be vulnerable in this way, we become stronger in a whole new way. Instead of passively letting life just go by without really experiencing it, we truly live and embrace every moment of it.
Scientists believe people who live in the moment tend to be less anxious. They say such people have a better chance at reducing their stress, lowering their blood pressure, boosting immune system, as well as truly enjoying the fruits of life. When Christians are living in the moment, we are actually living in the constant presence of God. It is in the presence of God that grace abounds. And where grace abounds, God's strength can be found. Through God, we are empowered to overcome the temptations and trials of this life, including fear, uncertainty and even death itself.
or solely on the future, the jagged rocks below, he would have missed the strawberry that God had given him to enjoy.
The gift that God gives to us in the present moment is the gift of life. Far too often, Christians accept God's call to a new life, but then try to control that life on their own terms. In doing so, we miss out on all the wonderful strawberries that come our way.
We live with the fear and anxiety of our past and future, instead of embracing the peace of the present.
How many times will we let the beasts in our lives stop us from savoring the feasts of life?
Today's reading begins with a baptism and ends with a victory over temptation. There is a reason I chose this passage this way. Before Jesus is baptized, John has called the people to repent. Repenting isn't merely an act of confession; it is a change of heart. Baptism is a sign of our commitment to allow the Spirit to transform the way we live.
Most of us here have been baptized but we continue to fill our lives with distractions and disruptions that slow, if not stop, our spiritual growth and transformation. We fill our lives worrying about what we did or what we need to get done. The scriptures tell us that by placing our fidelity with God, we can trust that our past transgressions have been taken care of, and our future has been prepared.
You see, it is only in the here and now that temptation has any power. The past has been washed clean. And the future is pure. It is in the present that we stumble and turn away from God. Which is why it is so important that we live in the here and now with God.
Matthew writes that upon receiving the Spirit of God at his baptism, Jesus is led by the very same Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted. Does that seem crazy to you? What kind of God allows for such a risk to take place? Like in the story of Job, God allows this character called the Satan to tempt and test Jesus' faith.
In preparation for what is to come, Jesus fasts for 40 days and nights. It is in this spiritual discipline that Jesus is able to center himself in the presence of God. We should not overlook the importance of fasting as we look to God for our strength to live in the moment.
If you are new to the ritual, a fast is more than just an absence of food and water; it is a commitment to fully obey God's commandments. Like repentance, fasting helps prepare our heart for living fully in God's presence. It is in this spiritual discipline of fasting that we find ourselves most dependent on God for our daily bread and strength.
As the season of Lent approaches, I would encourage you to place yourself in the mercy of God and fast for 40 days. This year will mark my 15th fast. My first was from bread. Even though I lost a few pounds not eating pizza, I did not grow much from my experience. The next year, I focused on a more personal growth. I gave up using bad language. After the 40 days of watching my tongue I actually noticed my vocabulary had changed for the better. And over the last few years I have focused more on spiritual growth by upholding one of the commandments.
Now you might be thinking "how hard can it really be to give up killing someone for 40 days?" Brothers and sisters, it is Harder than you think. Hopefully the temptation for most of us isn't the actual act of murder. But how many times have we killed someone's dream, suffocated someone's voice or destroyed someone's desire? How many times have we shot down someone's opinion instead of offering to help nurture it?
To fast from killing is to feast on life at every level, to encourage not discourage. Instead of saying "no" or "don't do that," learn how to say, "yes" and "how can I help." Such a fast helps the heart focus on obeying God's commandment to love all persons and people.
In the wilderness Jesus used God's commandments to fend off the tempter, who had come to see if he could use Jesus' humanity to break the Messiah's divinity. He sought to test his faithfulness like he had with Job, to see if Jesus would trust himself rather then his father in heaven.
But Jesus did not bite. He knew if he used his power for himself his sinless nature would be compromised and thus meaningless.
How many times have we been tempted to use our power for our own advantage, to secure our comfort and position in the world? It is in the present moment the tempter attacks our ego, where we are the most vulnerable and hungry. He makes it appear that we are the most important. He wants us to believe that what we do and who we know are more important than the one from whom all power flows. If this were your temptation, I would encourage a fast from serving self and to feast on serving others.
When you live in the presence of God, your service becomes a joy and not a burden. Jesus reminds us that we do not live on bread alone.
The second temptation tries to get Jesus to tempt God's hand to save him. To make God rule like human beings desire to rule. Hauerwas writes, "Jesus is offered a heroic role, to take his life in his own hands, to be in control of his destiny, to force God's kingdom into reality by making a sacrifice that God cannot refuse." I can't even begin to count how many times I succumb to the temptation and put God to the test. Each time resulted in my own failure. And I am reminded to the words Jesus spoke, "you shall not put The Lord your God to the test." If this were your temptation I invite you to fast from trying to control God and feast on obedience. When we live in the presences of God, we are able to trust God to be in control of our lives in a way that will protect us, not fail us.
In the third temptation, the tempter takes Jesus to a high mountain.
He offers Jesus all the kingdoms and riches of the world if Jesus will just bow down and worship him. Again, Jesus refuses by quoting the commandments: "Worship the Lord your God, / and serve only him." How many times a day do we bow down to something man made before we bow down to God? How many times a day we check our email, send a text message or post our status on Facebook, And compared that to the number of times we read the Bible or pray to God. The very technology designed to keeps us in the "now" has removed us further from being in the now with God.
If this were your temptation, perhaps a fast from distractions will help you feast on the joy that comes with living in the moment with God.
This might sound like some crazy Zen philosophy of mine, but observe the way a 5 years old child embraces life. It is around this age, children are truly awakening to the world before them. The world seems to grow bigger as they grow bigger. A five year old has the advantage because at that age, they are not yet able to really understand the concept of past or future time. History is simply wonderful stories that could have happened yesterday. The future doesn't really go beyond five minutes, and thus making the countdown to Christmas unbearable for so many kids.
But Jesus said, unless you embrace life like a child you will not see the Kingdom of Heaven. We are called to live with God in moment, with all the wonders and excitement of a child. As we do, we find the true joy of life that God has given us.
We as adults want bread. We want to force God's hand to rescue us. We want peace in the world-and we want all this now, in our time. But let us remember, Jesus is our bread, he is our salvation, and he is our peace.
In closing I want to leave you with this Bible verse. James 4: 8 says, "Draw near to God and God will draw near to you." I love that. I invite you to draw near to God so God can draw near to you. To live in the presence of God, we must draw near to God, just as Jesus did fasting in the wilderness.
While I focus my fast on the commandments, I encourage you to commit to a fast with deeper, spiritual meaning. Focus on what will make you a better friend, a better spouse, or a better Christian. You can fast from judging others, or self-criticism, or from a self-destructive addiction. Use the 40 days as a time to reconnect yourself with God, and to live in the holy presence of God.
Instead of letting life go by, embrace it by awakening to the experiences that God places before you, and taste the strawberries of life. Amen.
Confession of Sins: Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word and deed, by what we have done and what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart and have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy upon us and forgive us. Help us delight in your will and walk in your ways to the glory of your name, Amen.
Brothers and sisters, beloved Children of God, we have this assurance that no matter how far we may wander from the way of life that we are called to lead, we never move beyond the boundaries of God's love. As God's beloved children, we are loved, we are forgiven, and we are blessed.
It is an honor to be here to offer you the Bread of Life and the Cup of Salvation. We celebrate an open table at Church of the Chimes, in the tradition of our beloved Teacher who welcomed all to the Last Supper, even those who betrayed him and those who ran away. You do not need to be a member of this church to celebrate this gift; you only need to feel moved by the Holy Spirit to participate.
On the night when he was betrayed, Jesus sat with his disciples.
Ministering to you in his name, we offer you the bread of new life.
Ministering to you in his name, we offer you the cup of the new covenant.
Let us pray: Eternal God, heavenly Father, you have graciously accepted us as living members of your Son our Savior Jesus Christ, and you have fed us with the spiritual food in the sacrament of his body and blood. Send us now into the world with peace and grant us strength and courage to love and to serve you with gladness and singleness of heart; through Christ our Lord, Amen.

FileHawk: Taking Desktop Search Beyond Your Desktop
by Joseph Moran
FileHawk goes beyond simply searching your PC's hard drive by extending its search capabilities to CD/DVD drives, external hard drives, and flash memory drives, but does this new desktop search tool have enough to make up for its price tag and somewhat limited interface?
Few people miss the days before third-party desktop search tools, when Windows' built-in search function was the only way (and not a particularly good one) to find files buried on your hard drive.
FileHawk - Search Results
Thankfully there are numerous excellent (and free) products now available from the likes of Copernic, Google, Microsoft and Yahoo, but Spain-based Quadrom Services, S.L would like you to know that there are alternatives to the "big boys" of desktop search — namely, the company's new FileHawk search utility.
Interface and Features
The first thing you're likely to notice about FileHawk is its extremely simple interface. It's easy enough to use, but not particularly attractive or well laid out, so it won't be everyone's cup of tea (it certainly isn't ours).
To perform a FileHawk search, you enter your search term into the field provided. Like most search utilities, FileHawk begins conducting the search as soon as you start typing and updates the results as you type. An Advanced Search expansion menu lets you conduct more detailed queries, such as searches based on file date, type, size, etc.
Search results are displayed in the right-side pane (the search term is always highlighted), and you can sort or perform actions on them (such as open, print, etc.) via right-click context menus and you're also presented with basic file statistics for the search results.
There's no distinct preview pane provided; instead, each result entry includes a plus sign icon, successive presses of which reveal more of the document. It's helpful, but not nearly as much as a preview pane would be. Moreover, once you expand an entry there's no way to collapse it back, which can make scrolling through results more cumbersome. On the "plus" side, when search results include a video or audio file, an inline player is included with each result.
One of the prices you pay for FireHawk's simplicity is that you don't get many of the convenience features that are commonly found in other products in this category (Google, Microsoft, Ask Jeeves, Yahoo, and Copernic, to name a few). For example, FileHawk lacks search term prediction, spell checking/correction, and a retained history of recently performed searches (unless you manually decide to save a search, as described later).
While there is a FileHawk tray icon from which you can call up the application, you must open the full application to conduct a search; you can't enter a search term from the tray or taskbar. FileHawk also doesn't include a browser-integrated toolbar, though this is somewhat forgivable since it's not designed for Web searches (as the major desktop search tools are).
FileHawk handles saved searches via a useful feature it calls Active Folders. When you save a set of search parameters for future use, it's set up as an Active folder and displayed in a hierarchical Windows Explorer-like list. (There are also several pre-defined Active Folders, such as files added within the past three or seven days.)
FileHawk isn't the only search utility that lets you save searches, but the folder structure makes it quite easy to navigate through and jump back and forth between past searches (and as long new files are added in the folders that are indexed, the Active Folders are always current).
FileHawk - Options
FileHawk uses the same Microsoft iFilter technology that the company uses in its own Windows Desktop Search tool. For its part, FileHawk supports a fairly extensive list of the most common file types (an alphabetized list can be found here), but there are some notable omissions, too.
For example, files created by the open-source OpenOffice.org suite of productivity applications — .odt, .ods, .odp, .odg, and .odf — aren't supported (perhaps no surprise there), nor can you use FileHawk to search the contents within Adobe PDF files — only filenames and metadata.
You can add support for the missing file types (and the ability to search inside of PDF files) by installing the appropriate iFilter plug-ins (you can find many at www.ifilter.org) but you have to find and install a separate plug in for each file type you want to add, which can be inconvenient. In some cases, you may even need to pay a registration fee for certain plug-ins.
Another considerable drawback is that FileHawk's search capabilities are limited to files only — they do not work for items like browser favorites or history, and while you can search e-mail attachments, you can can't search within e-mail messages (ditto for contacts).
External Media Support
FileHawk — Catalog Screenshot
FileHawk's main point of differentiation over other search utilities is that it can catalog removable media like CD/DVD discs, external hard drives or flash memory devices. This allows FileHawk to include these types of media in search results even if they're not persistently connected to the computer. Removable media is not searched by default, but you can tell FileHawk to include it by clicking a check mark before conducting the search. (Special icons in the results pane denote Items found on removable media.)
The ability to search offline media has obvious appeal, but there are practical impediments to using the feature. For starters, it presupposes that you're willing to devote the time needed to create catalogs for all your removable media. Creating an individual catalog doesn't necessarily take a lot of time — we were able to create a catalog of a CD-ROM disc in less than 30 seconds — but doing so for more than a handful of discs can quickly become a major expenditure of effort with lots of disc swapping.
Moreover, when search results point you to a particular disc, being able to locate it among many others requires that you have them labeled (you can create your own description for media that you catalog, but FileHawk will also use the volume name to ID a disc) and physically organized, which may be too much to ask for the less fastidious among us.
Finally, FileHawk's catalogs are a snapshot in time, so when you update the contents of cataloged media you must delete the old catalog and create a new one (at least, you must do so if you want accurate, up-to-date results). This isn't an issue for write-once media like burned CD/DVDs, but it will be for something like a Flash drive or external hard drive, where contents might change regularly.
FileHawk offers few configuration options, so there aren't too many ways to modify the application's performance or behavior. It's not necessarily a bad thing — fewer options often mean simpler operation, but power users that like to tweak settings will be somewhat disappointed.
For example, you can schedule FileHawk's index rebuild to take place at a particular time of day, but you can't adjust the reindexing frequency of individual file types (as you can with Copernic Desktop Search). FileHawk will automatically update the index as files change, and although you can check a box to ensure this doesn't occur while a system is "active," there's no way to prevent it at other inopportune times, such as when a system is running on battery power.
You can download a fully functional copy of FileHawk (which runs on Windows XP or 2000) for a 30-day trial before deciding whether you want to part with the registration fee, which was approximately $26 at the time of this writing. (The official price is 19.95 Euros; your cost in U.S. dollars will vary based on the current exchange rate.)
Ultimately, although FileHawk has some interesting aspects, it also has enough shortcomings that we're hard pressed to be able to recommend paying almost $30 for it, especially since there are more powerful and sophisticated alternatives available for free. Those who have a specific need to catalog external media may find FileHawk worth a look, but we think most users will be better served by one of the established search tools.
Pros: Easy to use; can catalog and index removable media such as CD/DVD discs, external hard drives, and flash memory devices
Cons: Not free (especially given how many competing clients are free); simplistic interface; to search certain file types you must install separate plug-ins; doesn't index e-mail contents, contacts, or browser-related data

Valentine's Day is a great holiday. But let's encounter it; occasionally the cheap Valentine's Working day gifts we can afford simply don't make sure you. The answer is to produce do-it-yourself Valentine's Working day gifts that arrive from the coronary heart. Display your cherished 1 how much you treatment by taking the time to create something they will love, and they will never think of how little cash it price you.
Every evening she lay staring unblinkingly at the thoughts-numbing programs of late night, thinking in complete-colour photos of how issues might be with out him. She'd have the girls, a small cozy apartment, and a job.
Looking beyond the window above the kitchen sink, Rachel viewed as Shane galloped around the eco-friendly lawn of their yard, Sammie and Annie in pursuit. Squeals of laughter broke out here and there. She could see the wide smiles, indicators of happiness, on the faces of her children. The sight made her smile. Even brought on a portion of love for her spouse to effloresce inside the dark places of her deadened coronary heart. She knew she'd adore him again, understood that in some style, she presently did.
The noise that had filled the cavernous space came to a sudden end, Rachel's face reddened. Never experienced Annie enunciated her words so well! By no means experienced Rachel been as mortified.
When it arrives to windows cleaning, what should you expect in those rooms you permit the service to tackle? Maintain in mind that you are in a position to specify which locations of the house you want taken treatment of and which you do not require them to handle. For example, you might want all rooms to be dusted (such as every thing from ceiling fans to the tables.) You might want carpeting vacuumed in each room and other flooring mopped or or else cleaned. You may want the couched cleaned out and any garbage taken out.
Do a little at a time: At first, deciding to thoroughly clean the home all at once appears simple enough. Nevertheless, after about 10 minutes into function, you quickly understand you might have bitten off more than you can chew. So rather of doing every thing all at as soon as, break it down by times. For instance, you may choose to cleanse the bathrooms and mop all the moist locations on 1 working day, then vacuum and dust on another. Begin with only two duties each working day and improve them at your personal tempo. Scheduling your duties assists you achieve things in sections and stops you from turning into overloaded.
Stay targeted: Whilst it may appear tempting to mop the flooring right following you wash dishes, don't do it if it's not on your schedule for the day. If you're someone that needs purchase and lists to remain productive, do not stray off your route. For some, leaping from space to room or job to task can outcome in doing nothing at all. Even though you might have been around the home for hrs, you never get any one thing done simply because you're as well active obtaining distracted. Concentrate on a task, complete it, and then transfer on to the next thing to ensure you meet your objectives for that working day.


We hired Cabin John Builders to do an extensive house renovation. Cabin John Builders (CJB) was by far the best company we worked with throughout the entire project. From the proposal, the contract, the pre-construction permitting process, the material selection process, the construction of the home, all the way through to the punch list, CJB (and all of their staff) were attentive to detail, professional, and truly committed to building a quality home. No detail was too small, no corners were cut and when we ran into unexpected issues with the house, they kept us informed and adapted quickly. They were responsive to our many questions and communication was frequent.
After we moved into our home, a number of our new neighbors commented on how well they thought the project was run during construction. If you are building a custom home or renovating a house I recommend CJB without reservation. They won't consider your project just another job, they take pride in their work and it shows.
We hired Cabin John Builders to help us plan and build a renovation and addition to home we purchased as a fixer upper. Of course trying to find the right contractor to partner with is a stressful process, but we are so happy we choose to work with CJB! Josh and Neal guided us through the whole process making sure the project met our needs and goals. We really liked having the BuilderTrend system online so we could see our selections, schedule, changes etc, anytime we wanted. Jobsite was clean, the project was done on schedule and we LOVE our new house!
CJB did an excellent job with a two-story addition and lots of remodeling of existing interior. Totally professional, great communications, attention to timeline and budget. Josh and Neal are great at helping you to think about your specific needs and budget trade-offs. All staff and subs were great. I have never done a project like this before and expected to dread it. In fact it was kind of fun and the house is beautiful! Highly recommend.
Cabin John built our beautiful new house recently, and we can't say enough about Cabin John – they are absolutely amazing. They are so very responsive and really understand the value of solid communication. They get that we are amateurs and that they are the experts and that we rely on them for their expertise and guidance. They take this role seriously and are awfully good at it. It's also a family business and the family members who are in it together are all quite a great team. In addition, because Cabin John is established, they actually have a whole team of framers and tradesmen who have worked for them for years. Thus, the foreman on site is a real extension of the two brothers, one of whom is on site a whole lot as well. They even have an interior designer who handles all orders and appointments with vendors, which minimized unnecessary processes and saved us a lot of time and headaches. The project was done on time, even during the one of the worse winters we had, with everything we desired to have, and within the budget.
Thanks Cabin John for the truly amazing custom build experience and your continuing customer service to make sure we are taken care of in the first year of the build.
Trustworthy, Professional, and Innovative. These are three words that come to mind when I think of Cabin John Builders (CJB). Recently my family moved into a house in Potomac, MD. We purchased the property from the original owner who kept the house in great shape, but there were a few things we wanted to do before we moved in. Without hesitation, I called Neal and Josh at CJB to come take a look at our new place. Paint, refinish a few wood floors, install some pocket lights, take down some wood paneling and replace it with drywall were some of the small projects we decided to do. But build a mudroom out of a wasted space near the garage and turn two small closets into one massive dressing room were things my husband and I could not imagine. Josh and Neal have great vision and an out-of-the- box type approach as well as being a great "sounding board" for ideas that homeowners have. Some ideas we proposed to them they liked and agreed with, other they questioned and provided us with options we did not even think of. If you are planning on doing any kind of home renovation, I would call Neal and Josh from CJB first because they are going to be the most honest and extremely professional. They were outstanding to work with and I would referrer them 100 times over.
Very positive experience. We completely gutted and rebuilt a historical Kalorama house. The Rosenthal brothers were most professional and easy to work with. Everything was done to our satisfaction in accordance with our wishes.
When working with a general contractor you can pick any two out of three: Fast, Cheap, or High Quality.
Overall pleased with the CBJ work and their follow up. Strongly recommend.
AMAZING building professionals! We hired Cabin John Builders to do a full renovation and addition to our 1951 colonial home. We added onto to each level and more than doubled the size of the house. We did all new plumbing and electrical, new wood floors, new driveway with detached garage, new concrete walkway, stone porch, deck, recessed lights and new light fixtures throughout house. All new doors, windows, roof, insulation, hardy plank siding, gutters, painted exterior brick, interior crown moldings and decorative trim. New gourmet kitchen. All new bathrooms. Custom built-ins in the dining room, office and mudroom. 2 new gas fireplaces. Finished basement with 9' ceilings and new exterior walk up staircase. New retaining wall and fence in backyard. And new whole house gas generator.
From the start, CJB kept our construction moving seamlessly on schedule - they actually finished our project a couple weeks ahead of schedule, which is really impressive given all of the snow this winter! They maintained great communication with us, promptly answering our phone calls and emails. We made a few small changes to our architect's plans and they helped us every step of the way. Their website was useful for us to review selections and track our budget. Their workers were highly experienced and hardworking. We truly can't say enough good things about them. From top to bottom, our house looks beautiful and well done. My husband and I would highly recommend Cabin John Builders. A big thank you to Josh and Neal and the rest of your crew. You all exceeded our expectations in many ways and we totally love our new home! CJB provided us with a huge amount of guidance and hand holding throughout our project. That level of service was sincerely appreciated and really set them far above any contractor we have ever used before. We will definitely use them again for our future construction needs.
We hired Cabin John Builders (CJB) to do a major renovation of our 1922 home. The to do list was long: gut and remodel 5 bathrooms (including master bath), finish basement, add master closet, add hall closet, add built-ins to living room, rebuild mantle and re-face fireplace hearth, tear down and re-build entryway, upgrade lighting in kitchen, study, dining room, front hall, living room, and master bedroom, create first-floor laundry room, re-finish wood floors, and interior and exterior painting. CBJ provided outstanding service and craftsmanship in all aspects of the process. Phone calls and emails were promptly returned; work progressed steadily without any unexplained gaps or absences; sub-contractors were phased in and out seamlessly; and all work was completed on schedule and to our satisfaction. The owners of this family business were intimately involved in every aspect of the project. We would highly recommend CJB to anyone looking to do a renovation.
Cabin John Builders designed, crafted, painted, and installed two large built-in units for our DC condominium. They also completed several smaller carpentry projects -- including a closet reorganization and installation of shelves in a 100 year old armoire to convert it to a linen closet.
The quality of the carpentry was outstanding. The units are thoughtfully designed to be both attractive and functional. They were so well installed that they look like they have always been part of the apartment, and their interior design has significantly increased our storage capacity.
Besides delivering skilled construction, the Cabin John crews were exceptional. Everyone -- from the carpenters to the painters -- was extremely professional and polite. They arrived on time and worked steadily each day, ensuring timely completion of the units. It was clear that they were striving for excellence, for they repeatedly checked in with us to be sure we were pleased with the work as it progressed. Questions were immediately addressed, and any minor issues were promptly remedied. The painters delighted us with their thorough clean-up. I think our apartment was cleaner after they painted than before!
We highly recommend Cabin John Builders for quality construction work delivered on time and on budget.

Resistant starch in cassava products
Bruna Letícia Buzati Pereira
Magali Leonel
Found in different foods, starch is the most important source of carbohydrates in the diet. Some factors present in starchy foods influence the rate at which the starch is hydrolyzed and absorbed in vivo. Due the importance of cassava products in Brazilian diet, the objective of this study was to analyze total starch, resistant starch, and digestible starch contents in commercial cassava products. Thirty three commercial cassava products from different brands, classifications, and origin were analyzed. The method used for determination of resistant starch consisted of an enzymatic process to calculate the final content of resistant starch considering the concentration of glucose released and analyzed. The results showed significant differences between the products. Among the flours and seasoned flours analyzed, the highest levels of resistant starch were observed in the flour from Bahia state (2.21%) and the seasoned flour from Paraná state (1.93%). Starch, tapioca, and sago showed levels of resistant starch ranging from 0.56 to 1.1%. The cassava products analyzed can be considered good sources of resistant starch; which make them beneficial products to the gastrointestinal tract.

Starch is the basic source of energy for the majority of the world's population. It plays a major role in supplying the metabolic energy that enables the body to function. Starch can be divided into three categories based on nutritional classification: rapidly digestible starch, slowly digestible starch, and resistant starch. The term resistant starch (RS) refers to the sum of starch and products of starch degradation which have not been absorbed in the small intestine of healthy humans (Englyst et al., 1992).
Some studies suggest that slowly digested starch and resistant starch have significant implications for human health. Resistant starch fraction passes on to the colon, where it is fermented by the microorganisms producing mainly short chain fatty acids (SCFA). Due to this fact, RS has functional properties and positive effects on diabetes, some kinds of cancer, cardiovascular diseases, colonic health, obesity, and osteoporosis (Lunn & Buttriss, 2007; Nugent, 2005; Sajilata et al., 2006; Morales-Medina et al., 2014). Resistant starches have been shown to have equivalent and/or superior impacts on human health similar to that of conventional fiber-enriched food ingredients. It will, in turn, improve the health status of consumers. The potential health benefit of RS varies greatly with the study design and difference in the source, type, and level of RS consumed (Buttriss & Stokes, 2008).
Resistant starch has been categorized into four main types: type 1, RS is physically entrapped starch within whole plant cells and food material; type 2, RS includes granules from certain plant sources (e.g., raw potatoes, green bananas, and high-amylose corn); type 3, RS comprises retrograded starch from cooked and cooled starch and starch-containing foods; and type 4 RS includes chemically modified starches that are used by food manufacturers to improve the functional characteristics of the starch. Different processing conditions can alter RS content in the starch and starch-based foods (Chung et al., 2011).
In addition to the structural factors which can influence the amount of RS present due to the presence of water and the chemical structure of starch, other factors intrinsic to starchy foods can affect α-amylase activity and therefore starch breakdown. These include the formation of amylose-lipid complexes, the presence of native α-amylase inhibitors, and also non starch polysaccharides; all of which can directly affect α-amylase activity.
From a technological standpoint, resistant starch type 3 is the most important since their formation is a result of food processing. The amylose content, temperature, physical form, the degree of gelatinization, cooling, and storage affect its contents. The content of resistant starch in foods can be changed by relatively simple processing techniques, influencing the rate and expected extent of starch digestion in the human intestine. This changes can be used beneficially by either the consumer, through the maintenance of good health, or by the food industry, which uses a source of fiber that do not cause organoleptic changes as pronounced as those caused by the sources traditionally used in products such as brans.
The presence of resistant starch has been detected in various foods such as white bread, breakfast cereals, biscuits, corn mashed, potatoes, and legumes. The key challenge to the food industry is the production of consumer-friendly foods, which contain enough resistant starch to result in a significant improvement in public health (Chung et al., 2011).
Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is the sixth most important food crop globally in terms of annual production (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations Statistics Database, 2013), and it is a staple food for approximately 800 million people. Cassava is a major source of calories in the tropics, where its roots are processed into several foods.
Products derived from cassava are produced and consumed throughout Brazil. Brazilians with lower family income consume more cassava flour in their different types and starch. Products with higher added value such as frozen products are sold in supermarkets and purchased by consumers with higher household income (Barros, 2004).
The cassava flour has large variations due to differences in processing of the root. It is consumed in large quantities but with high inequality in per capita consumption between different regions in Brazil. The national average is 7.8 Kg per capita per year. Rural areas appear as the main consumers of flour, with an average of 20.6 Kg per capita annually. This is four times higher than the average of urban dwellers, from 5.1 Kg per capita per year (Barros, 2004).
Considering the importance of resistant starch to health, the consumption of cassava products by Brazilians, especially those who have little access to high-value products, as well as, the differences in processing methods for obtaining products of cassava, this study aimed to evaluate the content of total starch, resistant starch, and digestible starch present in cassava products from different regions in Brazil.
2 Materials and methods
Thirty-three cassava products (Table 1) usually consumed, produced, and sold in different Brazilian states were evaluated for total starch, resistant starch and digestible starch. For each product, three packages from different batches but produced and packaged by the same manufacturer were acquired and analyzed.
The classification of cassava flour is established on the basis of its identity and quality requirements. Cassava flour is classified into groups, classes, and types. According to the technological process used in its production, cassava flour is classified into three groups: a) dry flour, product obtained from roots of healthy cassava that were properly cleaned, peeled, mashed, grated, ground, pressed, dismembered, sieved, and dried to the proper temperature, which could be sifted again and processed; b) water group cassava flour (known as farinha d'água in Brazil), predominantly fermented product, obtained from healthy cassava roots that were macerated, peeled, crushed or ground, pressed, broken down, sieved, and which could be dried at appropriate temperature and sieved again; c) flocked flour, low density product obtained from healthy roots of cassava that were cleaned, shelled, grated, ground, pressed, broken down, sieved at the proper temperature, to form irregular and light flakes (Brasil, 2011).
The cassava flour of the dry group is classified into three classes according to its particle size: a) fine flour - 100% of the product pass through the sieve with a mesh aperture of 2 mm, b) medium flour - when more than 10% of the product is retained even on the sieve with an aperture of 2 mm, and c) coarse flour - when more than 15% of the product is retained on the sieve with an aperture of 2 mm (Brasil, 2011).
The water group cassava flour is classified into three classes according to its particle size: a) fine flour- when the product is retained up to 10% on the sieve with a mesh aperture of 2 mm; b) medium flour - when over 10 to 15% of the product is retained on the sieve with an aperture of 2 mm; c) coarse flour - when over 15% of the product is retained on the 2 mm-mesh sieve (Brasil, 2011).
Total starch (TS) content was determined according to Goñi et al. (1997). The samples (50 mg) were suspended in 2M KOH to disperse starch and shaken at room temperature for 30 min. The samples were then incubated (60 ºC, 45 min, pH 4.75) with amyloglucosidase (1 mL (300 U/mL), Sigma A-7255) to hydrolyze starch. The free glucose was determined using glucose oxidase, peroxidase, and ABTS assay (Bergmeyer & Bernet, 1974). The total starch was calculated as glucose × 0.9. The wheat starch (Sigma S-1514) was used as reference standard.
Resistant starch (RS) content was analyzed using the methodology proposed by Goñi et al. (1996). The samples were subjected to: incubation (40 ºC, 60 min, pH 1.5) with pepsin (0.1 mL (10 mg/mL), Sigma P-7012) for protein removal; incubation (37 ºC, 16 h, pH 6.9) with α-amylase (1 mL (40 mg/mL), Sigma A-3176) to hydrolyze digestible starch; residue treatment with 2M KOH for solubilization of resistant starch; incubation (60 ºC, 45 min, pH 4.75) with amyloglucosidase (80 mL (140 U/mL), Sigma A-7255) to hydrolyze the resistant starch solubilized; and determination of glucose, as described for determination of total starch. The value of digestible starch (DS) was calculated by the difference between TS and RS.
Results were expressed as means of values of three separate determinations. Comparison of means was performed by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), followed by Tukey's multiple comparison test.
3 Results and discussion
Table 2 shows the amount of total starch, resistant starch, and digestible starch in cassava products, expressed in dry weight. Statistical analysis showed differences in these components in the cassava products analyzed.
As for the starch content in cassava flours, Brazilian regulations establish that for the dry and water group flours, the content of starch (wet weight) must be > 86.0% in type 1, > 82.0% in type 2, and > 80.0 in type 3. As for the flocked flour, the starch content must be > 80.0%. Thus, the various flours analyzed in this study with labeled type 1 do not fall within the recommended limits (total starch in wet basis ranged from 78.80 to 89.92% in cassava fours) (Brasil, 2011).
The levels of resistant starch in the cassava flours ranged from 0.19 to 2.21% (dry weigh). Among the analyzed cassava flours the highest content of resistant starch were found in the flour sold in bulk (F9), and the lowest levels in the dry flour from Acre state (F19) and dry/toast flour from São Paulo state (F16). Significant differences were also observed for the flours with the same classifications, which may be due to differences in the processing methods for the same type of flour in Brazil.
Resistant starch is a natural component which is present in many foods. Certain types of processing, such as sterilizing, drying in ovens, or drying at high temperatures, increases the level of resistant starch (Pereira, 2007). During the processing of cassava root to obtain flour, an important step is the drying in an oven. In this stage, the moisture of the mass of grated cassava is strongly influenced by the type of flour produced, the type of oven used, the load of material in the oven, and the temperature of drying.
Drying of cassava mass can be carried out in ovens or roasters; the most commonly used types of oven are: "baiano", semi-spherical pot with a central paddle, and "Sao Paulo" or rotary over, consisting of a rotating circular plate seated on a masonry stove with a mechanical distributor bottom sieve for the distribution of mass on the plate and a brush to remove the flour. Flat ovens are commonly found in the North and Northeast regions of Brazil, which are made from a flat sheet of clay or iron and the tilling of cassava mass is done manually with using squeegees or mechanically by a system of blades. These ovens operate at different temperatures and loads. Cold ovens with low load produce the finest white flour. Hot ovens with high loads produce flours with particle size characteristic of water group flour. Rotary ovens with low load on the surface produce the typical flocculation of flocked flour (Cereda & Vilpoux, 2003; Matsuura et al., 2003). These differences in cassava flour production can influence the starch gelatinization and retrogradation, affecting the content of resistant starch.
The differences in the process of drying the grated cassava mass to obtain the different types of flour, besides affecting the particle size, affect the integrity of starch granules, interfering in digestibility. The digestion resistance can or cannot be related to the integrity of the physical state of starch granules, which in turn is related to crystalline organization or packing of the glucose chains of amylose and amylopectin (Thompson, 2000; Liu, 2005).
In the analyses performed in the commercial flour, the content of resistant starch found for the raw cassava flour was 0.55 g/100g, below the values found for wheat bran (0.73 g/100 g), yellow corn flour (2:46 g / 100 g), and oat flour (1.78 g/100 g) (Universidade de São Paulo, 1998). Comparing these data with the results obtained for products derived from cassava, it can be observed that the seasoned and cassava flours can be considered interesting sources of resistant starch.
As for the seasoned cassava flours, the highest content of resistant starch was observed in the flour from Paraná (SF1). The influence of lipids on starch digestibility has been reported. Amylose-lipid complexes are enzyme-degradable, and an increase in complexed amylose reduces yields of resistant starch. Amylose recrystallization in RS formation is competitively affected by complexation of amylase with lipids (Czuchajowska et al., 1991).
Since crystallisation of amylose takes place above the glass transition temperature, all components (e.g. other polymers such as proteins but also sugars and salts) which have an impact on the glass transition temperature can theoretically have an influence on the formation of RS type III (Eerlingen & Delcour, 1995).
Tapioca, product obtained from cassava starch under a granular form, showed low content of resistant starch. This result is probably due to the type of processing in which the mass of starch lumps with moisture content of approximately 55% are broken up when heated in a "baiano" oven at temperatures of 70 to 80 ºC leading to the starch gelation. The starch is mixed and dried in the rotary drying device allowing the aggregation of irregular particles (Cereda & Vilpoux, 2003).
Formation of RS is also affected by the water content. A maximum in RS yield is found when a starch:water ratio of 1:3,5 (w/w) is applied. Indeed, as the amylase concentration increases, RS yield increases. A minimum of water, however, is necessary for plasticization of the environment and for incorporation into the crystal structure (Eerlingen & Delcour, 1995).
The sago of cassava showed significantly high RS content. Sago is a product of partially gelatinized starch with spherical shape and eaten as dessert or as porridge. It is produced in a continuous process with three rotating drums. The starch with 55% of moisture is placed into the upper part of the drum, where it is granulated. The beads of sago selected are placed into another double surfaced drum (120 to 200 ºC) to gelatinize the starch. Sago passes through this rotating drum resulting in surface gelatinization, while remaining white inside. After this step, the product is dried in the third drum. Since the starch cannot be fully gelatinized in this process, it can contribute to the presence of resistant starch in this product.
The content of digestible (DS) and resistant starch (RS) in commercial cassava starches were higher than those found by Walter et al. (2005a) for corn starch. These authors evaluated the available digestible (DS) and resistant (RS) starch using different protocols to determine these fractions of starch (adjusted to the AOAC 996.11 method) and obtained (dry mass):0.10 ± 0.01 to 0.24 ± 0.04% RS and 97.6 ± 0.98 to 99.30 ± 0.82% for DS.
In the processing of cassava starch, the "starch milk" concentrated in centrifuges is subjected to pre-drying, which in most companies is performed in a vacuum filter. After this step of pre-drying, the starch with about 45% moisture is dried in a flash dryer at temperature ranging 120 to 150 ºC. This type of process often promotes gelatinization and retrogradation of starch and can interfere in the resistant starch content. In the production of cassava starch using the peeler centrifuges, it is possible to obtain a product in the pre-drying stage at lower moisture contents (30-40%) by reducing the gelatinization and retrogradation.
The amylose content, temperature, physical form, the degree of gelatinization, cooling, and storage affect the contents of RS III. These indications serve as a basis to explain why, unlike dietary fiber, the amounts of resistant starch in foods can be modified by relatively simple processing techniques influencing the rate and expected extent of starch digestion in the human intestine (Walter et al., 2005b).
Cassava products contain varying amounts of resistant starch, and the processes for obtaining these products can interfere in RS content. The consumption of cassava products can contribute to the intake of resistant starch in the Brazilian diet.
