Peter Bowring
Peter Bowring, who has died aged 89, was chairman of his family's City insurance business until it fell to an American takeover, and a tireless trustee and fundraiser for a portfolio of good causes.
Source: The Telegraph
Bowring's great-great grandfather Benjamin, originally a watchmaker, founded a trading business in Newfoundland in 1811 and became the owner of a transatlantic sailing fleet. The family branched into shipping barrelled oil, and a British offshoot, CT Bowring & Co, was established first in Liverpool and later in London.
Though its steamship business eventually declined, the company emerged in the modern era as one of London's pre-eminent insurance brokers, with close links to the Lloyd's market and a range of interests across the financial sector.
Peter Bowring joined the trading side of the group in Liverpool in 1947. Having moved to London he became a director of CT Bowring & Co in 1956 and was chairman of a number of subsidiary businesses before becoming group chairman in 1978. Two years later came rumblings of an imminent bid from a US insurance giant, Marsh & McLennan, with which Bowrings had been discussing a pooling of interests. Despite this connection, Peter Bowring issued a warning that an offer to Bowring shareholders on any terms would be considered "an unfriendly act", to be resisted "by any means available".
He also appealed to the British Insurance Brokers' Association and the Thatcher government for support; but the final price tabled by the Americans, well in excess of the group's book value at around £250 million, was too rich for institutional shareholders to refuse, and terms were reluctantly agreed between the boards in April 1980. Some Bowring family members left the business, but Peter loyally remained to become a director and vice-chairman of Marsh & McLennan, finally retiring in 1985.
Peter Bowring was born in Cheshire on April 22 1923 and educated at Shrewsbury. In 1941 he volunteered for war service and was commissioned into the Rifle Brigade. Posted to the 7th Battalion in 1943, he served in Egypt, North Africa and throughout the hard-fought Italian campaign, in which he was battalion intelligence officer and was mentioned in despatches.
He found himself in Austria at the end of the war, and was posted back to Egypt before being demobbed in 1946. He later joined the territorial London Rifle Brigade Rangers, and was a member of the contingent that lined the route of George VI's funeral cortege.
In tandem with his business life, Bowring gave his time and energy to a huge range of voluntary commitments, many concerned with raising money — bringing to all of them a lightness of touch and an ability to draw diverse contributions together.
He was chairman (and later president) of Help the Aged and was instrumental in securing Diana, Princess of Wales, as the charity's Patron — which helped boost its income dramatically during the 1980s. He chaired appeals for (among many) the Dulwich Picture Gallery and the Snape Maltings — and subsequently became chairman of the Aldeburgh Festival-Snape Maltings Foundation, when it was teetering on insolvency in 1982. By the time he stood down in 1989 it was thriving again.
Bowring chaired the City Arts Trust which produced the annual City of London Festival, and the Transglobe Expedition Trust which promoted the educational aspects of Sir Ranulph Fiennes's circumpolar travels, for which he had procured sponsorship from CT Bowring and Marsh & McLennan — a cooperation which sat somewhat uncomfortably during the acrimonious bid battle.
He was appointed CBE in 1993 for his voluntary work in the arts and for the elderly. He published a history of the Bowring family and its companies, A Thicket of Business, in 2007.
Peter Bowring married first, at Cairo Cathedral in 1946, Barbara Brewis; the marriage was dissolved, and he married secondly, in 1986, Carole Dear, who survives him with a son and daughter of his first marriage.
Peter Bowring, born April 22 1923, died December 1 2012

Recently, the cases of nutrition-related health disorders have risen substantially, making gastrointestinal disorders—such as celiac disease, irritable bowel syndrome and Crohn's disease—and inflammatory skin conditions—such as eczema, psoriasis, acne and rosacea—commonplace.
It is often implied that these disorders are correlated, with digestive dysfunction and nutrient imbalances, and invariably may present unsatisfactory responses to traditional treatments due to this. The prospects of genetically modified and irradiated food, along with the depletion of mineral-laden nutrients that were once present in soil, also contribute to the state of nutritional imbalances and deficiencies. The controversies surrounding nutrient deficits and health steadily mount as the world's population continues to grow.
In regard to nutrition, a common doctrine exists among health care professionals: balance, consistency and quantity. Consuming food properly is a balancing act, and the recommendations for sustainable nutrition are generalized. Many nutrition protocols today are adapted to individual needs based on detected deficiencies though laboratory evaluation, symptoms, age, height, weight and medical conditions. Nutritional science has many facets that include vital biochemical and functional processes that the body requires to assimilate nutrients.
Bioavailability. Bioavailability is an essential transportation method for delivering nutrients that include the availability, absorption, retention and utilization of nutrients consumed. Largely, it refers to the proportion of a nutrient that is absorbed from the diet and used for normal body functions.2, 3 How those nutrients are delivered has consequential effects—including nourishment of the skin.
All vitamins and minerals vary in size, quantity and function. Nutrients feature active transports, or "viaducts," that extrude the vitamin or mineral through the intestinal wall into the body where it may be directly released or connected to other molecules. (See Figure 1: Detail of the small intestine.) Absorption becomes a very specific task, because all nutrient exchanges require a great deal of energy for transport.
Malabsorption. Malabsorption is a widespread health condition that involves the inability of the body to completely absorb nutrients into the small intestines and is often concurrent with several gastrointestinal conditions. Medications, parasites, viruses, diabetes and other disorders can affect intestinal absorption. If a particular disorder disrupts the digestion of food or restricts nutrient uptake, the consequence is the malabsorption of nutrients.
Diffusion. Diffusion occurs throughout the body via the bloodstream and, without it, cells are void of nutrients. As a nutrient encircles a famished cell, the nutrient remains inside a blood vessel, whereas the cell itself is positioned outside. Spaces surrounding the cell and blood vessel create a concentration gradient instigating a transfer to diffuse the nutrient through the blood vessel wall and allow it to pass into the cell.
Perfusion. Perfusion refers to blood flow, and is the mechanism with which blood provides nutrients and removes cellular waste. Inadequate perfusion creates depleted oxygen, compromising the vitality of the tissue. The rate of blood flow through the skin is influenced by body temperature based on internal metabolism and external temperature. The epidermis is dependent on nutrients, water and oxygen transport via the dermis. If nutrients are lacking in the dermis, the skin cells will be undernourished.
Enzymes, flora and nutrient absorption. Enzymes are composed of amino acids and are released by the body to help catalyze many vital functions, including digestion, assimilation and absorption of food. More than 3,000 different enzymes have been identified, each having a specific task to build and rebuild the body—including energy production, absorption of oxygen and cellular nutrient transport.
Nutritional support of the skin is dependent on the following to facilitate and utilize nutrients.
A viable support network of connective tissue, collagen and elastin.
Adequate circulation and vascular integrity of the dermis.
Cellular hydration and a healthy framework of the epidermis, including lipid functionality and transepidermal water loss (TEWL) ratios.
Skin immune response and antioxidant potential for free-radical protection.
Is vital to the functionality of the skin and TEWL.
Electrolytes are catalysts required for the maintenance and repair of all tissue, and to enable the body to manufacture enzymes that assist in the digestion of food. They are considered the foundation of every physical and neurological function, and include calcium, chloride, magnesium, potassium and sodium. In the case of dehydration, the body is less likely to use nutrients from food and vitamins, as bioavailability is compromised.
The skin is dependent on a balanced ratio of amino acids—the structural makeup of protein. Without amino acids, protein molecules and the complex matrix of amino acids will not fabricate collagen. It is necessary for dietary protein sources to offer sufficient quality and quantity in order to provide adequate amounts of these elements.
The following information has been correlated to nutrient deficiencies and skin problems. This information is not meant to diagnose, treat or cure any disease, or imply specific dietary recommendations. Work with the client's physician to help identify possible causes and problematic behaviors that might be resulting in these skin concerns.
Acne. If a client is experiencing acne, nutritional deficiencies may include biotin; EFAs; niacin; potassium; vitamins A, E, B-2, B-6, C and K-2; and zinc. Potential antagonists to these deficiencies may include consuming excessive amounts of carbohydrates, carbonated drinks, dairy, iodine, organ meat, red meat, shellfish, sugar and wheat.
Eczema. Nutritional deficiencies that may be present for those with eczema include EFAs; folic acid; GLAs; iron; magnesium; selenium, vitamins A, B-2, B-6 and C; and zinc. Potential antagonists of these deficiencies may include alcohol, artificial food coloring, coffee, dairy, eggs, iodine, a low-fat diet, low hydrochloric acid, a low-protein diet, monosodium glutamate, nuts, red meat, shellfish, soy, sugar, sulfites, tea, white flour and baked goods.
Keratosis pilaris. Those who have keratosis pilaris may have nutritional deficiencies of EFAs, and vitamins A and K-2. Potential antagonists could be the body's faulty conversion of beta carotene to vitamin A, hot showers, and high pH soaps and detergents.
Psoriasis. Nutrient deficiencies for those experiencing psoriasis may include EFAs; gamma linoleic acids (GLAs); vitamins A and B-12; and zinc. Potential antagonists for these deficiencies may include consumption of citrus fruits, chocolate, copper, corn, dairy, fried food, nuts, red meat, shellfish, soy and wheat.
Rosacea and inflammation. Clients who suffer from rosacea and skin inflammation may have nutritional deficiencies including EFAs, hydrochloric acid and malabsorption of B vitamins. A potential antagonist may be erythema, which could indicate a delayed allergy to a variety of foods.
The esthetician's scope of practice involves educating clients in regard to the principals of healthy skin, and the fundamental concepts of nutrition for maintaining general health and well-being. The specific recommendation of nutritional supplements, nutrition or dietary recommendations should be deferred to a physician, nutritional practitioner or licensed nutritionist. The professional alliance of the esthetician and the health practitioner together can support the client in combating problematic skin conditions, and addressing concerns related to nutritional imbalances for the common goal of attaining optimum health and skin vitality.

Britney Spears Declared Her Independence With 'I'm Not A Girl' Video
'The wind started picking up a lot and almost dropped me over,' Brit recalls of cliffhanging clip.
Britney Spears had been grappling with her budding adulthood when she released her third album, simply titled Britney, in 2001. With songs like "Overprotected" and "Let Me Be," Spears seemed to be letting out her adolescent angst. But on the single "I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman," which was also featured on the soundtrack for her flick "Crossroads," the singer wanted the world to know that she was ready to be treated like an adult.
For the video, director Wayne Isham just wanted to have Britney out in nature — even if the setting seemed a bit dangerous for a pop star. "I go, 'Let me check it out first,' " Isham told MTV News about having Britney stand on the edge of a cliff. "She understood that if my fat ass was out there and I could stand there, then she could stand there," he laughed.
The singer might have been willing to take the risk, but she still had some trepidation about standing on a cliff. "The wind started picking up a lot and almost dropped me over," Spears recalled. "And I was like, 'OK, gotta go.' "
Nonetheless, Isham loved the way the video looked and said there was no green screen involved. "She went out there and, without a safety cable, just stood there with those cowboy boots on," he said. "She was standing on the edge in her cowboy boots, looking hot. We'd be right on the edge, and she had not a blink of fear."

Spears said in 2001 that the song was actually intended for the "Crossroads" soundtrack before she included it on her album. "The song was written for the movie once we had the decision to make the music part of the movie," she said. "It's an inspirational song, and it's probably one of my favorite songs that I've ever sang."
And the video is one of Isham's favorites too. "I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience with her and what she's doing right now," he said. "She stepped into it with positive energy. She ended up stepping out and kicking ass."
With the release of Britney Spears: The Singles Collection, MTV News is looking back on the pop star's career through interviews with video directors, music-industry insiders and Spears herself, as she reflects on some of her greatest hits.

FSIS Recall Release 046-2021 - Listeria
December 5, 2021 2:19 PM EST
Washington, D.C., Dec. 05, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Recall Release
CLASS I RECALL
HEALTH RISK: HIGH Congressional and Public Affairs
Bailey McWilliams (202) 720-9113
FSISpress@usda.gov
FSIS-RC--046-2021
ALEXANDER & HORNUNG RECALLS FULLY COOKED PORK PRODUCTS DUE TO POSSIBLE LISTERIA CONTAMINATION
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5, 2021 – Alexander & Hornung, a St. Clair Shores, Michigan establishment and business unit of Perdue Premium Meat Company, Inc., is recalling approximately 234,391 pounds of fully cooked ham and pepperoni products that may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.
The products were produced on various dates. The products subject to recall with associated dates are listed here. View labels here.
The products subject to recall bear establishment number "EST. M10125" inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to retail locations nationwide.
The problem was discovered when the company notified FSIS that product sampling reported positive Listeria monocytogenes results.
There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider.
Consumption of food contaminated with L. monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, a serious infection that primarily affects older adults, persons with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women and their newborns. Less commonly, persons outside these risk groups are affected.
Listeriosis can cause fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions sometimes preceded by diarrhea or other gastrointestinal symptoms. An invasive infection spreads beyond the gastrointestinal tract. In pregnant women, the infection can cause miscarriages, stillbirths, premature delivery or life-threatening infection of the newborn. In addition, serious and sometimes fatal infections in older adults and persons with weakened immune systems. Listeriosis is treated with antibiotics. Persons in the higher-risk categories who experience flu-like symptoms within two months after eating contaminated food should seek medical care and tell the health care provider about eating the contaminated food.
FSIS is concerned that some product may be in consumers' refrigerators or freezers. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers. When available, the retail distribution list(s) will be posted on the FSIS website at www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls.

Dear David. We really appreciate that you have been sharing these sensation method cases with the community. What other remedies did you consider when sorting out this case? Did you think about rhus tox of anacardacea family?
Yes I definitely considered them, (as well as the bird group ). In fact I was probably leaning that way quite heavily for alot of the consultation. The difference between Cactaceae and Anacardiaceae is the way in which they describe the stuck sensation. Anacardiaceae is tight, stiff, immobile, it is like have a door jammed open by a doorstop. Cactaceae feels clutched like a hand has grabbed them, held and squeezed. The gestures she made to describe the sensation were my primary way of understanding it. I usually ask patients to show me if they can, rather than just rely on the words. Once I saw that she was squeezing and holding her own arm to represent the feeling, I got that it was not quite the paralyzed feeling of Anacardiaceae but the held tight and trapped feeling of Cactaceae. It was easier then to look at the bigger picture and see the feeling of having a small life, the feeling of constriction and the desire to expand. I often find the main complaint will help clarify any confusion I might have about exactly what the sensation is.
The reason I didn't go far with the Bird group idea is that there was little sense of competition, no real sense of 'me versus them'. She kept coming back to the sensation of it, rather than the struggle against something stronger than her. Flight is often a basic sensation in a Bird case, but of course you can probably guess that the Tubercular miasm can be easily confused with it. Once I understood the sensation then it was easier to sort out the miasm (as a conscious reaction to the problem). There was considerable Bird group language there though, it is just that the Kingdom language was not really present. The main problem was 'I have this feeling, this sensation, and I react to that', rather than 'I am fighting against something more powerful than me to survive'. So what seemed to be Bird had to be something else - in this case part of the Sensation and part of the Miasm.
This helps clarify your thinking. And again, I must thank you so much for sharing this knowledge and your insights. Many more people may learn and help more people.
Desire to engage in work; to have all time employed; to be engaged in something useful. -- Desire to be dissolved. --- Disposition to curse and swear. -- Time seems to pass slowly. -- Spiritual delusions; thinks she has committed the unpardonable sin.
Pain on 1 side of neck; and along clavicle; at night. -- Pain in upper portion of spine and medulla, running upwards and expanding to surface of brain, < stooping or bending head forwrd. -- Pains runing along back down to arms. Vertebral spines tender to touch. -- Pain in r. scapula.
Could you elaborate how you found similitude in above symptoms to the disease symptoms presented as your case?
do you have further reliable material on this quite intriquing remedy?
I primarily used the Sensation method as described in the first post to arrive at this remedy choice. My main focus was the physical sensation of the main complaint, which I confirmed by having the patient show me with me gestures. The sensation of being grabbed and held, of being squeezed, is well known in Cactus but is considered a characteristic of all the Cactus group by Sensation prescribers. I only used materia medica to help justify the prescription after I felt satisfied I understood the central theme of the case (and so the group and miasm). My source material when doing this is generally the Insight into Plants series by Dr. Sankaran and possibly references from the work of Frans Vermelen and Jan Scholten.
The physical symptoms of spasm were found in the chest in the proving, but I was happy to generalise that in this case. The tendency for symptoms to start in the neck or back and travel down the arms or legs is direct proving symptom. In the mental symptoms the extreme irritibility, wild anger, and the desire to curse were covered.
One of the main strengths of Sensation is to be able to find our way to considering medicines with small and incomplete provings. By combining all those various sources I felt confident in the choice and the patient's reaction was of course very pleasing. This was my first experience with this remedy and it helped to solidify my understanding of the state of Cer-b.
Let me use Sankaran's method as he thought it from 90' and early 2000'.
In those years he proclaimed that the central delusion is the core of all health problems. By removing the central delusion from the patient by means of a homeopathic remedy, not only the acute disease expression = symptoms are cured, but the entire individual freed, and not prone to suffer again from this central delusion, as it is removed.
If a remedy is not addressing the central delusion of the person, then it merely supresses.
This central feeling is: feeling trapped, which she expresses in many ways, and it is a delusion!. she could leave the husband, she could move on,--- so, if she would realize this, and move, she would not have a backache anymore.
But is this really the central delusion of this case? Often what the patient expresses directly does not tell the central delusion, because if the patient would know the central delusion, then the patient would have realized its unreal character a long time ago and would not suffer the consequences now. It is the skill of the experienced practitioner to see beyond the mere symptoms and discover the central delusion.
So we have to ask ourselves, what keeps this delusion of being trapped up, what is behind?
And here it is: She feels that others put wires around her, invisible wires, which she cannot break. "Encaged in wires,"– this is the central delusion.
Del.: encaged in wires: Cimicifuga!
Reading Cimicifuga reveals it as the true similimum. Other remedies may only temporarily help, but ultimately supress.
What is your thinking on that?
Cer-b cured the case. The patient remained symptom-free for many years after I saw her, which I know because she brought her children to see me. I cannot really theorize as to what might have happened on Cimic since I never prescribed it for her.There was no suppression, the patient did not develop new symptoms or a more serious condition. She experienced profound relief not only of her physical complaint but of the other issues which had been preventing her from living comfortably in her life.This relief remained stable for a long time until she stopped coming to see me. I am happy with the idea that Cer-b was her simillimum at this time in her life.
Cimic belongs to the Ranunculaceae family (alongside Staph). There are some themes of that family that might fit her case - easily excited, excessive anger, feeling annoyed and insulted. In this family vexation often causes their complaints, emotions will often give rise to physical symptoms. I can see similarities here and the idea of this particular family is intriguing, and I will admit I did not really consider it.
However, the main complaint did not show the basic sensation (the sensation being a general not a mental or a delusion) of raw, exposed nerves without any insulation, the feeling of shocks with nothing to protect. This is the core of the Ranunculaceae family. I always try to focus on the main complaint as the reliable manifestation of the disease, and move from there rather than trying to look primarily at the mental and emotional state (unless that is the centre of the pathology).
Cimic also belongs to the tubercular miasm which would probably increase its chances of helping this patient. A very interesting idea I must say.
It is also important to understand that the concept of Sensation is an expansion of the idea of Delusion, and that Delusion is considered to simply be one of the levels at which a disease may manifest itself. Delusion would be how the mental sphere experiences or expresses the Sensation, but it is not the deepest level at which disease would affect the person. Sensation is a general state that can be seen in body and mind.
Looking back at the literature that Dr. Sankaran published, I don't believe he ever said that delusion was the core of all health problems. What he did say was that disease was a disturbance of the vital force, which manifested itself through something he called the PNEI axis (Psychological, Neurological, Endocrinological, Immunological). He called this the 'Central Disturbance' (not delusion), and that disease would then further manifest in specific organ systems via this axis. Psychological sat at the top of that axis and was weighted accordingly when analyzing cases.
He does talk about health and disease in terms of 'posture' - that is the 'position' or 'adaption' the mind and body needs to adopt to survive a situation, either real or perceived. When it is only perceived it can be seen as a 'delusion' since the situation no longer exists. Although the mental characteristics may be quite peculiar and more easily matched to a remedy, this 'delusion' manifests on all levels ie. feeling you will be attacked by wild animals produces fear, starting, rapid heart beat, heightened alertness, insomnia, dilation of pupils etc.
Dr. Sankaran did for a long time focus on the mental state as the most peculiar aspect of a human being, this is true. However over the years that focus has broadened and much of his work and the work of his colleagues now includes all the generals as equally important.
Have another look -- its in the "spirit of homeopathy", and then further elaborated in the "elements of homeopathy". The idea was first published by Sehgal, whom he had as a teacher and of whom's books he coppied liberally in the "Spirit of homeopathy".
Let us have a look at this case from a classical homeopaths view. If a remedy should be curative, it also has to have the capacity to address the miasm which is creating and maintaining this disease. so, it's not only the superficial things like the back pain which has to be taken into consideration but also the person who has it, -- after all it's the person, not the disease what needs to be cured! (kent).
So this is a primarily psoric case (tuberculosis is psora btw. all tubercular symptoms can be found in the list of psoric disease) and we need to find a remedy which has the back ache and also the specific mental state and comes from the group of anti psorics.
This wanting to run away from her own family, this feeling of never being good enough and of course, Sepia is short fused: shouts at husband, shouts at children, -- and feels terribly guilty shortly after.
So the true classical similimum for this case is SEPIA.
in classical homeopathy Hering's law plays an all important role, to judge if a remedy has acted curative, suppressive, or not at all and the patient overcame the disease on his / her own accord.
The masters of the 19th, and early 20th, century hold the belief, that if the case does not progress along these lines (after giving a remedy / particularly in a chronic miasmatic situation) the therapist cannot claim to have cured, even if all symptoms went. What may look like a cure is in reality only a suppression, which may last for a long time.
How does that effect your view, that above case was cured by your remedy giving what you reported gives no indication of the case following Herings law after the remedy was administered?


Maiers Kew-Bee Bread Truck by Boyertown Body Works. 1929 Chevrolet chassis.
Multi-stop trucks (also known as walk-in delivery or step vans) are a type of light-duty and medium-duty truck created for local deliveries to residences and businesses. They are designed to be driven either sitting down or standing up, and often provide easy access between the driver and goods, hence the name "Walk-In Delivery" van. They are taller than full-size vans such as the Ford Econoline, Dodge A-Series/B-Series/Ram Vans, and Chevrolet G-Series vans, but can have wheelbases that are shorter than these models or longer.
Though commonly referred to as "bread trucks" and "bakery trucks," trucks like these are used for delivering many other goods and services. Many have also referred to them as "Step-Vans" despite the fact that this was a name only used by Chevrolet (see below).
Another common group of users include electric power companies, both with and without cherry picker scoops. The ones with such devices tend to be half-cab vans. Occasionally they've been mounted with common truck bodies, such as bottlers. In the 1980s Frito-Lay bought fleets of Olsons that were redesigned to tow light commercial 5th-wheel Olson trailers. School and library systems frequently have used them for bookmobiles, when bus bodies are not preferred.
Partially due to their size, they have also been used as large ambulances. Subsequently, fire departments have also used them for this purpose, as well as for utility vehicles, radio command centers, canteens, and other secondary work. Police S.W.A.T. teams and other special units have used them as combined deployment and mobile command centers. An all-aluminum 1974 CM-Series International Harvester Metro Van P-40 painted black and lettered in white fitted with red takedown lamps and a siren speaker on its white roof was featured speeding to and famously skidding to halt at a crime scene for the 1975-76 police action title sequence of the TV series S.W.A.T. and was typically featured four or five times each episode to the show's theme song as the team was dispatched; running aboard, traveling in while utilizing the radio-telephone and jumping out of the Mobile Tactical Unit.
Postal workers also use them in larger deliveries. Parcel companies such as UPS and FedEx have used them for decades. Since 1966, Grumman Olson, and Southern, have made UPS trucks designed exclusively for that company. Ice cream distributors such as Mister Softee and others have found these types of trucks to be far more suitable than cowl-and-chassis-based pickup trucks. Many have been converted into "Jitney" buses. Some are converted into motor homes either by manufacturers or private citizens who buy used models.
Chevrolet Step-Van and its twin GMC Value Van or others were successors to the shared "Dubl-Duti" delivery vans, produced by General Motors. They had classifications as light as 1/2 ton trucks, and as heavy as 2 ton trucks. Additionally they produced the successful P-series of step van chassis and the value van. GM gasoline and diesel engines powered vehicles which, like competitors' chassis, got bodies from outside suppliers. Large delivery fleets like FedEx, UPS and Frito-Lay were among its customers. Some later models were available with the Step Van/Value Van cab and Olson after-body. Motor Homes were built around Step-Vans & Value Vans; the GMC Motor Home (which was built between 1973 and 1978) was not related. The series was discontinued in the late 90's and then became the Workhorse company (see separate entry below).
Divco was making vehicles such as these from its inception. By the late 1930s they gained short curved hoods and separated fenders resembling the Chrysler Airflow doghouse. This design made them well known and remained virtually unchanged until 1986. By 1957, when the company bought Wayne Works they began manufacturing larger versions of these vans which did not contain typical 1930's design cues. A later version called the Dividend had a front resembling other walk-in vans which cut several inches off the length of the front portion of the truck. Some Dividends were fitted out as mini-buses with Wayne bus parts.
The Dodge Route-Van was made between 1948 and 1951. It was succeeded by the Dodge Job-Rated, and was itself replaced with the Dodge P-Series, which like the Ford P-Series were stripped-chassis that could be fitted with made-to-order bodies. Chrysler manufactured these models until 1979.
Ford Vanette, Ford MTO-71 or Ford FFV was made between 1948 and 1970. It succeeded the Walk-In versions of the Ford F-Series trucks, and had the same grilles of the Ford F-Series from 1951-1955. After 1956, it retained the 1955 grilles until the model was discontinued and replaced with the Ford P-Series chassis. These models were stripped-chassis that could be fitted with made-to-order bodies, and often contained red crests on the grilles reading "Chassis By FORD."
Morgan Olson 'Route Star' MT45 and MT55 are built on a Freightliner chassis and could handle large delivery/commercial applications. It had a variety of features designed to fit the needs of businesses along with quick and easy access to cargo.
Morris Commercial in the UK, made the J-type van from 1949 until 1961, and the Austin 101 variant from 1957.
International Harvester Metro Van was originally based on the 1937-40 D-Series trucks. One of the first models built was sold to the Czechoslovakian Army and destroyed by the Nazis during World War II. In the 1950s, they began producing variations such as the "Metro-Lite," "Metro-Mite," and "Metro-Multi-Stop" vans. the design of this van remained nearly unchanged from its inception in 1938 until its full redesign in 1964. By 1972, all IHC Metro Vans were stripped-chassis that other manufacturers could build on, and after 1975, they were discontinued along with all other light-duty trucks except for the Scout, which was last made in 1980.
Studebaker had walk-in delivery vans. In 1963 they added ZIP vans, which existed until the company collapsed in 1966.
White Motor Company originally built the White Horse from 1939 to 1942. Later, they built the White PDQ Delivery van between 1960 and 1966.
Willys produced the Walk-In Willys Van from 1941 to 1942, which were based on the 441 trucks. After World War Two, most of Willys' truck manufacturing was concentrated on Jeeps, although Jeep did offer walk-in delivery type bodies for some of its pickups. Under ownership by Kaiser, Jeep built the FJ-3, FJ-3A, and FJ-6 delivery vans, and in 1975 AM General built the Jeep FJ-9. Jeep also supplied chassis for bodies made by Highway Products and other manufacturers.
Workhorse Custom Chassis, a Navistar International company, was started in 1998 by investors who took over production and sales of General Motors' popular P-series Stepvan chassis when GM dropped it. Navistar acquired Workhorse in 2005; AMP Electric Vehicles purchased acquired the Workhorse brand and the Workhorse Custom Chassis assembly plant in Union City, Indiana in March 2015, and adopted the name Workhorse Group Incorporated. For a short time Workhorse offered an integrated chassis-body product called MetroStar. As of 2016, Workhorse was offering the E-Gen step van with plug-in hybrid (or "extended range electric") drivetrain.
As of today, most manufacturers of these types of vehicles build them on existing chassis made by General Motors, Ford and Freightliner Trucks. These include such companies as Alf-Herman, Boyertown, Flxible, DurAvan, DeKalb, General, Gerstenslager, Lyn, Mark, Montpelier, Murphy, Orville, Southern Coach, Swift, Utilimaster Universal and Van-All has built this type, referring to them as "Step Vans".

Brexit Bill Clears U.K. Parliament
By Ahmed Jawadi
After years of political deadlock, the U.K. is set to leave the EU by the end of the month.
After years of political deadlock, a bill that would see the U.K. leaving the EU has finally cleared through the country's Parliament.
The European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Bill is now set to be enacted into law after clearing both houses of Parliament. Although the House of Commons voted Wednesday to overturn a series of amendments to the bill, which the House of Lords had passed earlier this week, both houses ultimately agreed to push the bill forward.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the country can now "move forwards as one United Kingdom," adding: "At times it felt like we would never cross the Brexit finish line, but we've done it. Now we can put the rancor and division of the past three years behind us and focus on delivering a bright, exciting future."
The bill will officially become law when it receives royal assent from the queen. The EU council and commission presidents are expected to sign off on the agreement in the coming days. Then it heads to the bloc's Parliament for a vote next week, where it's expected to pass. If everything goes according to plan, the U.K. will officially leave the EU at 11 p.m. local time on Jan. 31.

AMISOM gives hope to ailing Somali boy in Kismayo
It all started as a pimple, then festering wounds that spread rapidly, to his limbs and other parts of the body, rendering him immobile.
This is a condition that 12-year-old Ahmed Sahal Osman, who hails from Afmadow town in Lower Jubba region of Somalia, about 120 kilometres west of Kismayo has been battling with for almost two years.
Mohamed Nur Mohamed recalls that day in September 2018 when he first spotted what appeared to be a pimple on his nephew's skin.
"His illness started with repetitive infection which would burst after days. It was very painful. He could neither sleep nor eat," Mohamed, Sahal's uncle says.
Doctors serving under the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) in the coastal city of Kismayo came to Sahal's rescue, and for the past one year, have been treating and nursing Sahal back to health, to help him regain the full use of his limbs.
Mohamed, Sahal's uncle is pleased with the progress his nephew is making and quality of medical service at the AMISOM facility, which he considers a blessing.
"A lot has changed since then. He sleeps better now and even plays with the other kids. It's a great blessing for us, remembering that he couldn't turn himself in bed, leave alone playing," Mohamed says.
According to Mohamed, Sahal's uncle, the pimple grew more prominent, wounds developed, festered and spread virulently to his arms and legs and other parts of the body, thereby necessitating urgent medical attention.
Faced with the debilitating condition, Sahal, accompanied by his uncle, trekked from the family home in Afmadow, to Kismayo General Hospital in search of treatment. However, none of the family members at the time anticipated that the journey to recovery would be long and agonizing.
At Kismayo General Hospital, Sahal was not responding to the treatment and his condition kept deteriorating. Desperation then kicked in as accumulating bills strained the family's meagre resources. For months, Sahal was in and out of hospital, with no marked improvement.
Impact on Sahal and the family
Sahal comes from a big family with seven other siblings. Before he was struck by the disease, Sahal was an active, energetic pre-teen who reveled in playing with his brothers and sisters. However, the sickness grounded Sahal, who could neither join his playmates nor attend school. He remained bedridden and in constant need of a caretaker, and his family could not leave him home alone. Also, owing to the special care and treatment, the family's finances dwindled.
AMISOM intervenes and journey to recovery
With no marked improvement, Sahal was referred to the AMISOM Sector 6 hospital in Kismayo, which also extends medical services to the local community, as part of its civil-military initiatives.
In April 2020, Sahal's relatives brought him to the AMISOM hospital, in critical condition. Doctors at the facility diagnosed the mysterious sickness, afflicting Sahal as Buruli ulcers, a rare skin disease.
Buruli ulcers, is a chronic disease of the skin, soft tissues and sometimes bones and can lead to permanent disfigurement and long-term disability. The disease is caused by bacteria and results in multiple wounds, which require comprehensive wound care in order to be treated.
Part of Sahal's care and management includes regular cleaning and dressing of his wounds, to keep off infections and quicken the healing process.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the disease is endemic in 33 countries in Africa, Latin America and Western Pacific. In 2017, more than 95 percent of new reported cases occurred in 10 countries: Bangladesh, Brazil, China, Ethiopia, India, Kenya, Nepal, Somalia, South Sudan, and Sudan.
Decades of war have negatively impacted Somalia's health infrastructure, making access to medical care a challenge. However, with the country enjoying relative peace, the federal government is making efforts to revitalize the health sector.
Doctor explains
"Sahal's condition when we first came in contact was severe. He had dirty wounds, he was in pain and was malnourished," says Capt. Dr Paul Ouma Oluoch, the regimental medical officer at the AMISOM hospital, adding that Sahal's condition required specialized care beyond the ability of the local hospitals in Kismayo.
Apart from medical care, Capt. Dr. Oluoch emphasized the critical role of good nutrition in expediting the healing process and is pleased with the progress.
"We also give him food items to make sure that his nutrition is good because as you know with poor nutrition, healing is reduced. He has shown marked improvement and is on the path to recovery," Capt. Dr. Oluoch says.
Sahal continues to receive specialized care under the supervision of a dedicated team of AMISOM medical personnel as an outpatient.
CIMIC support to communities
Brig. Gen. Abebaw Seid Yimer, the AMISOM Sector Six Commander, stated that Quick Impact Projects, which include providing medical services, foster cordial relations between AMISOM and local communities living within AMISOM's areas of responsibility, positively impacting on local security.
"AMISOM has a key role in helping the local people, especially those in need, who the hospital helps with the provision of medical services," Brig. Gen. Abebaw explains and reiterates AMISOMs commitment to continue providing such support.
Also, AMISOM medical personnel provide skills training to their Somali medical counterparts at the Kismayo General Hospital to capacitate them in delivering health services.
Lt. Col. Godfree Owuor, the commanding officer of Kenya's Second Mechanized Infantry Battalion (2MIB) in AMISOM, reiterates the importance of cordial relations with the local community and the important role that the hospital has played in boosting those relations.
"In line with the AMISOM mandate, this facility has been able to extend the services to the local people, in this case the Somali security forces as well as the civilians by provision of free medical services," Lt. Col. Owuor says.

The key to Brazil's future lies in social movements not politics.
Dilma Rousseff came very close to winning in the first round of voting in Brazil, she ended up on the threshold of the government currently led by Lula de Silva.
Millions of Brazilians have serious housing problems. The Movimiento Sin Techo (Homeless Movement) seeks to organize them, and to occupy abandoned properties and land on the outskirts of the city to pressure the government.
In the decade in which it begins its ascent, the country is so important that it is forcing its main competitor in the region, the United States, to redesign its foreign policy to take into consideration Brazil's prominence, a tactic that might destabilize all of Latin America.
Latin American states are taking greater control of their oil assets, with shifts in policy that range from relatively benign to more combative.

The Bush administration's Andean Regional Initiative (ARI)—largely an expansion of U.S. support for Plan Colombia—passed the House of Representatives in late July, largely intact.

TheXboxHub Features
Looking Back to 2004 and Def Jam: Fight for NY
Even today, most fighting games revolve around some sort of a fantasy. Whether it's Tekken, Street Fighter or even Mortal Kombat, most of them feature complex combos unattainable by mere mortals. And characters with unrealistic physique and scorching fireballs further distance the genre from anything conventional. But unlike the former three, Def Jam: Fight for NY was actually somewhat more grounded in realism.
For starters, do you like hip hop music and fighting games? Do you enjoy having two rappers busting in each other's teeth? That's exactly what Def Jam was. Released in 2004, it completely turned fighting games as we know them on their head. Offering a roster of well-known performers, a surprisingly good story and a satisfying fighting system.
In this article, we take a look at Def Jam: Fight for NY after its 15 years on the market and how it redefined storytelling in the fighting genre. We also examine the game's brutal fighting system and yet another knockout (no pun intended) soundtrack from EA.
Come and Take a Walk With Me
Some might argue that fighting games don't need a story. Neither does porn, but context sure as heck doesn't hurt. A hero's motivation to fight is just as important as how Johnny Sins ended up becoming a pizza boy. In Def Jam: Fight for NY, however, players were not delivering pizza, but rather jaw-shattering hooks.
Choosing from preset facial and body features, players took control of a custom character created at the start of the game. After saving D-Mob, the protagonist of Vendetta from being imprisoned, the character joins his crew to help him take over the city's fighting scene. They were opposed by Crow's crew, who wanted for nothing less than to maintain a dominant position in the city.
It was a simple, but nonetheless enjoyable story, especially for the genre. Similarly to Need for Speed: Underground, the plot was told through brief cutscenes and never overstayed its welcome. It even featured intrigue and betrayal, with friends turning into foes and supposed villains becoming trusted allies. Most of its success came from the impressive cast consisting of musicians, actors and other celebrities.
Performers like Ludacris, Sean Paul and Xzibit were featured in the story. With others, like Redman and Busta Rhymes taking on starring roles. Snoop Dogg portrayed the main villain – Crow – while actor, Danny Trejo, acted out one of his henchmen. Furthermore, punk-rock legend Henry Rollins played the hero's trainer, and actress and model Carmen Electra was featured as a potential girlfriend. All of them were voiced by their real counterparts and just imagine how much EA invested in voice acting alone.
That Freight Train That Hit You, That Was Me
Normally, I don't enjoy fighting games. I find the gameplay too monotonous and having to learn dozens of combos isn't my cup of coffee. Or was it whiskey? But Def Jam: Fight for NY wasn't like it and gameplay was absolutely brutal and ridiculous. Beyond the engaging story, the main attraction of Def Jam were the fights.
With a range of fighting styles, melee weapons and environmental interactions, it had a ton of options for bringing the pain to your opponent. From light punches to the chin to devastating round-kicks and bone-crunching armbars. And melee weapons, like pool cues and beer bottles, were always handy to break against an opponent's head.
Each arena, whether a crowded bar or a desolate parking lot, provided even more ways for doing combat. Given the right circumstance, you could grab the opponent and push them into the crowd for someone to hold or fit their head in a car's door and then slam it shut. And if you were fighting on the metro level, you could push them on the rails right before a train arrived.
Five different fighting styles meant a galore of approaches to combat. Players could punch their way through the story as a Streetfighter or use Submissions to break an opponent's will to fight. Better yet, it was eventually possible to learn multiple styles, creating your perfect brawler. And then there were the spectacular Blazin' Moves: brutal finishers which drove the final nail in the coffin if the opponent's health was low enough.
These moves were brutal, accompanied by the sounds of snapping bones and tendons, and each character had a signature move.
Bling and Sing
Winning fights gradually unlocked new customization options for the character. These ranged from clothing and jewellery to impressive tattoos covering entire limbs. And as you progressed, even more advanced pieces of apparel became available.
Famous clothing brands, such as Reebok and Jordan, were prominently showcased within the game. Jacob's jewellery was among the game's accessories, with Jacob Arabo himself acting out a role of the vendor.
Moreover, with so many renowned hip hop artists on the roster, there was only one genre of music to go for the soundtrack. And much like Need for Speed: Underground and Burnout 3: Takedown, Def Jam: Fight for NY featured an excellent tracklist.
Among the ones that resonated with me were "Let's Get Dirty" by Redman, "Make It Hurt" by Busta Rhymes and "Mother Mother" by Xzibit. Then there were "Are We Cuttin" by Pastor Troy and "Take a Look at My Life" by Fat Joe. And last, but certainly not least – "Walk With Me" by Joe Budden fittingly accompanying the game's ending credits.
These are but the tip of the auditory iceberg, with Ice-T comfortably sitting somewhere on the top as well. And the soundtrack was obviously pure heaven for anyone into rap and hip hop. But regardless of your personal musical preferences, it was nigh impossible to not bump your head in tune with at least some of these tracks.
What's Next for Def Jam?
Upon release, Def Jam: Fight for NY garnered nearly perfect scores from the most notable publications. It even received a Game Critics Award for Best Fighting Game in 2004. But sadly, its sequel, Def Jam: Icon, didn't sit so well with players and critics, though that's a story for another day.
In 2018, a rumour of a possible sequel surfaced, meaning a potential resurgence of the series. Until then, tell us about your memories with Def Jam. Did you play Vendetta and Icon as well? Leave a comment down below.

Boeing unveils new hypersonic 4,000mph jet which could fly from New York to London in TWO HOURS and is three times faster than Concorde
Boeing has joined with hypersonic specialists to develop a Mach 5 passenger transport capable of crossing the Atlantic in two hours or the Pacific in three hours

Updated: 1:53, 27 Jun 2018
BOEING has unveiled a new hypersonic 4,000mph jet which could fly from New York to London in just TWO HOURS, it has been reported.
The airline giant has also said the new aircraft, which could be released into service in 2030, is almost three times faster than Concorde.
The new unnamed aircraft could cross the Atlantic in two hours, or the Pacific in threeCredit: Boeing
According to Aviation Week Network, Boeing has joined with hypersonic specialists at the company's research and technology unit to study a Mach 5 passenger transport capable of crossing the Atlantic in two hours or the Pacific Ocean in three hours.
Flying at Mach 5, the unnamed aircraft has a projected cruise altitude of 95,000ft - 30,000ft higher than Concorde - and 2.5 times the speed of the retired Anglo-French aircraft.
Boeing has said its additional speed would enable same-day return flights even across the Pacific and provide airlines with increased asset utilisation, it has been reported.
The concept vehicle was unveiled at the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Aviation 2018 conference in Atlanta, and is aimed at being at a passenger capacity larger than long-range business jets, but smaller than Boeing's 737.
The new Boeing aircraft is to have a cruising altitude 30,000ft higher than Concorde and be almost three times as fast

It's also hoped the new aircraft will have military applications also.
Boeing's chief scientist for hypersonics Kevin Bowcutt said: "When you look at the problem of getting from Point A to Point B anywhere in the world, the question is how fast do you want to go and how fast is fast enough?"
"Supersonic isn't really fast enough to go overseas and back in one day. For the business traveller or the military, where time is really important, that's an interesting point.
"Mach 5 is where you can do that. You can get across the Atlantic in about two hours and across the Pacific in about three hours."
He also said the aircraft, if sanctioned, could be flying in military operations within ten years, but commercial planes take longer due to "market, regulatory and environmental requirements, so it will happen when there is a convergence of those things", he said.
Concorde was the ultimate luxury in air travel but in 2003 the iconic jet was ground and supersonic passenger flights ended.
In April 2003 Air France and British Airways announced they would be retiring their Concorde fleets after 27 years' service, as both carriers blamed low passenger numbers and rising maintenance costs.
Passenger numbers fell after an Air France Concorde crashed minutes after taking off from Paris in July 2000, killing all 109 people on board and four on the ground.
On a Concorde flight, the typical flight time from London to New York would take about three-and-a-half hours.
The aircraft had a top speed of 1,353mph while regular passenger planes travel at between 500 and 600mph.
The aircraft was capable of travelling faster, but due to the amount of noise it made pilots were only able to hit the throttle over the Atlantic ocean.

The Jieldé Signal Collection is growing up with new Arm's length!
Here is the Signal SI371, with two articulated arms from 30 cm & 17 cm.
You can incorporate a switch, and add a cordon of 2 meters with a wall outlet.
Your lamp will be handmade in France in the Jieldé workshops following your choice.
The wall lamp Jieldé SI371 from the Signal Collection knows how to become essential in every room she stands.
She will light a desk, a reading corner, a kitchen ... or rather decorate a room or a hallway with his vintage and unique design.
With two articulated arms from 30 cm & 17 cm who can rotated at 360° as you wish.
You can easily guide the Luminous flux through his ring around the reflector.
New: Black hammered and Copper Hammered are two rare and unusual finish.
A Brushed Steel finish will give a "industrial vintage" design.
The chrome finish will transform this lamp into a real wall jewel.
* The colors shown allow you to visualize approximately the RAL colors.
Perfect color reproduction is not possible on screen.
At the end of the 1940s, tired of not finding a fixture adapted to his general mechanical activity, Jean-Louis Domecq draws one. After some trial and error, the final drawing is frozen in April 1950.
It corresponds perfectly to the set specifications: simple, robust, articulated so that it adapts to any workstation.
With this great invention, Jean-Louis Domecq spent the years 1951 and 1952 to industrialize production. In 1953, he created a company dedicated to the commercialization of his lamp and whose initials of his name will form: Ji eL Dé.
Since then, this lamp called STANDARD by the customers, never ceased to be produced and will evolve by small keys according to the norms.
Deceased in 1983, Jean-Louis Domecq will not see his successors release the STANDARD from its purely industrial context to make a model of decoration.
Floor lamps, reading lights, wall sconces, all adorned with shimmering colors ... The STANDARD became LOFT.
In 2003, will be born the SIGNAL worthy replica of the LOFT, but of smaller size.
Following the AUGUSTIN suspensions in 2008, then the reissue of the LAK lamp in 2011.
Jieldé lamps are now recognized as icons of French industrial art.

Q: Ring Theory. Isomorphism. Write formally.
Let $R$ be a ring. If $a \in R$, show that the map $f(x) \longmapsto f(x + a)$ is a ring isomorphism of $R[X]$.

It is easy to show the homomorphism. I see that the bijection is true intuitively, but I don't know how to write formally. Thanks for the help.

A: We can write down the inverse function $R[x] \to R[x]$, $f(x) \mapsto f(x-a)$. This is a homomorphism because it is the same as $f(x) \mapsto f(x + (-a))$, which said you already showed is a homomorphism.

Drawing on quite a lot of oral and written assets, this booklet tells the tale of Tanzania's socialist scan: the ujamaa villagization initiative of 1967–1975. Inaugurated almost immediately after independence, ujamaa ('familyhood' in Swahili) either invoked proven socialist topics and departed from the prevailing international repertoire of improvement coverage, looking to reorganize the Tanzanian nation-state into communal villages to accomplish nationwide improvement. Priya Lal investigates how Tanzanian leaders and rural humans creatively expected ujamaa and records how villagization opened up at the floor, with out affixing the undertaking to a trajectory of inevitable failure. by means of forging an empirically wealthy and conceptually nuanced account of ujamaa, African Socialism in Postcolonial Tanzania restores a feeling of risk and technique to the early years of African independence, refines winning theories of nation-building and improvement, and expands our realizing of the Sixties and 70s world.
The East Surreys have been in close to non-stop motion from November 1942, once they landed in North Africa (Operation TORCH) via to may perhaps 1945 Armistice. through that point that they had cleared the Germans from Tunisia, taken half in Operation HUSKY, (the Sicily invasion TORCH) and fought up via Italy so far as River Po.
How has improvement affected the practices of the nation in Africa? How has the advance kingdom turn into the root of social organization? How do Tanzanians place themselves to acquire relief funds to impression swap of their own lives? monetary relief flows have entrenched an economic system of intervention during which the most beneficiaries are those that can declare to adopt improvement actions.
This selection of essays on pre-colonial sub-Saharan African army heritage is drawn from a couple of educational journals and contains a few that are thought of milestones in African historiographical discourse, in addition to others which, whereas lesser recognized, supply awesome perception into the original nature of African army heritage.


I think we all know that Yoplait makes a lot of delicious types of yogurt–but now they're making frozen smoothies, too! I was really excited when I was contacted to do a review of the new Yoplait Smoothie, and then was really dissapointed when I visited 3 different grocery stores in my area only to find that none of them currently carry any Yoplait Smoothies. 😦 For this reason, my posting is a little delayed, and I can't honestly tell you about the quality or ease of using a Yoplait Smoothie. Once I find a store near me that lets me redeem my coupon for a smoothie, though, I'll let you know about it! Until then, let me share some information about this neat product and also give you a chance to win your own Yoplait Smoothie and a Hamilton Beach Single-Serve Blender to make your smoothies in!
Simply add milk to a Yoplait freezer package, blend, and in less than two minutes you can enjoy a nutritious and delicious smoothie guilt free! At 110 calories per serving, Yoplait Frozen Smoothies make creating the at-home smoothie convenient, simple and worry free.
2) each smoothie contains 1 serving of fruit for the day!
4) it's fast and easy–you only have to add milk!
As I mentioned before, I was also able to try the Hamilton Beach Single Serve Blender. I think it's fantastic, and I even bought one for a friend of ours as a gift! I'm a mom who wants a filling, nutritious, and quick breakfast. I've found that smoothies are the answer to this, but it's definitely a pain to make one serving in a big blender (I'm forever making too much, and spilling some as I transfer it into my travel mug). A single-serve blender is a great alternative to a big one for smoothie making. It takes up less space, and everything's all-in-one with this blender since you can just take the blending cup part off and go with your drink!

for a tip – We have cut out soft drinks and added fruits to our diets.
I was making my children smoothies every morning until my magic bullet broke. I think smoothies are so wonderful for the entire family my kids also have no clue that i sneak fresh spinage in it also.
a healthy tip: I let my son pick out the ingrediants for our daily smoothie. We've had some odd combinations, but he eats way more good stuff when it is his idea. He loves to see just how much spinach he can cram in.

Quite an Odessey: At City Winery, the Legendary Zombies Still Live to Rock -- Chicago Concert Review
The Zombies
w/ opening act Don DiLego
City Winery, Chicago
March 19, 2018 (also playing 3/20)
Who were the best musical artists of the 1960s?
Presumably, many an avid music fan could respectably name over 50 first-rate acts--The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, Aretha Franklin, Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, The Beach Boys, Four Seasons, Supremes, Temptations, Cream, Creedence and on and on--before they might get to The Zombies.
Even in terms of British Invasion bands that accompanied or followed the Beatles and Stones, not only the Who and Kinks but the Animals, Hollies, Dave Clark Five, Herman's Hermits, Gerry & the Pacemakers, Manfred Mann and the Yardbirds may be more top of mind.
For the Zombies really only had three hit singles--"She's Not There," "Tell Her No" and "Time of the
Season"--and their masterpiece album, Odessey and Oracle wasn't widely recognized as such until over a decade past its 1968 release (itself coming after the band had split up).
But thanks in good part to a Zombie resurrection in the early '00s that has seen core members Colin Blunstone and Rod Argent frequently tour under the group moniker, I've been prompted to more deeply mine the band's estimable '60s output.
Thanks to a gaggle of stellar singles--including "I Love You," "She's Coming Home," "Just Out of Reach" and "I Want You Back Again"--and the sublime Odessey and Oracle, I now consider the Zombies the fifth best British Invasion group, behind just the Beatles, Stones, Who and Kinks.
And with a stellar show Monday night at Chicago's City Winery--where they've also sold out a Tuesday gig--I've now seen the Zombies live three times, having also done so in 2004 (on a great double bill with Love) and 2012.
While lead singer Blunstone and keyboardist/vocalist Argent are now into their 70s, both still represent their strong legacy impressively well. (The three musicians touring with them are also stellar.)
And what made this show particularly sweet was how well songs from 2015's Still Got That Hunger--"Moving On," "Edge of the Rainbow" and "Chasing the Past"--fit in with the classics.
Introducing 2004's "Sanctuary," Argent relayed how Blunstone had joined him out of the blue at a charity gig a few years earlier after decades had passed without their making music together. The reconnection begat a handful of shows, an additional 19 years of touring (to date) and some fine new music.
Including extended renditions of two songs recorded by Argent's eponymous band--"Hold Your Head Up" and the closing "God Gave Rock and Roll to You," dedicated to longtime Zombie sideman Jim Rodford, who died after a fall in January--as well as a lengthy run through "She's Not There," the Zombies' excellent set ran roughly 80 minutes.
This was after a fine opening solo set by Don DiLego, who won over the crowd with engaging tunes, warm & humorous stage patter and a singalong version of the Bee Gees' "To Love Somebody."
And although my friend Dave and I were happy just to be in standing room for the sold-out show, a gracious City Winery host kindly moved us to a pair of open seats a few songs into the Zombies set.
Loving Odessey and Oracle as much as I do, I would've happily heard a few more than the four songs played from it--"Care of Cell 44," which Argent noted Dave Grohl had called the song that most inspired him, "This Will Be Our Year," the Argent-sung "I Want Her She Wants Me" and "Time of the Season"--but I really relished the way the newer songs proved there's still life in these Zombies.
Who stand as one of the best bands of the '60s, very much in the present tense.
